Also be certain that you search for any payment or prepayment choices which could enable you to take a couple of decades away from the mortgage. When you've been pre qualified for a mortgage and also understand where you stand with your monthly payments, then you should begin searching for property.
What To Know When Buying A House For The First Time
If you search for a house, you should only purchase property that's best for you. Before you begin searching, you need to always make a record of all that you would like your house to own, according to what you would like and what you really require. It's also wise to be certain that you indicate any areas which you're eager to come to some compromise on, just if you need to.
To help you with locating the ideal house, you must enlist the assistance of a respectable realtor. If you meet with your broker, you'll go over just how much you're prepared to spend, and which sort of house you're searching for. Youíre representative will understand where perfect properties really are, and also help you locate the house that's most appropriate for you.
Factors To Consider When Buying A House
As soon as you receive the listing, you must drive by the houses and check out both the house and the area. You ought to think about the look and location of the house, security, accessibility to the freeway, schools near, commute time to work, neighborhood shopping, as well as recreational pursuits.
Should you donít find something which interests you the very first time, you should keep searching till you find the house that's ideal for you. Your broker can assist with tours of houses and these, even inform you advice about areas which you arenít acquainted with. When you've decided on a fantastic realtor, he'll care about assisting you to find a house and move out of the way to make sure that you get just what you would like.

For the maximum from purchasing property, you need to always seek the services of a real estate agent which you can trust. Your broker will probably go a long way in assisting you to get a house, from discovering properties to providing you pointers and suggestions on the way. Great realtors will take care of your pride, and will do everything that they can to help you to find the house of your dreams. You always have the option to get a house without a realtor, though it is going to take you more and you wonít get the aid and other conveniences that a realtor will bring to your table.

It's not a look that we thought we'd see recreated 'as-is' in real life but at a recent brunch, hair stylist Anees Muss did just that and then some.
He wore the same Manish Malhotra Knight Riders tee shown on the runway with shorts and gold shoes. Except, instead of wearing the simpler gold sneakers shown on the runway, Anees wore Jeremy Scott for Adidas Sneakers which have an exaggerated wing detail.
Quite 'wing'-sical, we must say!

Fixing my old iPhone 4s
I have a problem with my old iPhone 4S (apple logo only, black screen, not charging). I thought the problem is the battery and so I bought a cheap battery online. It just arrived today and I attached it hoping it will open up. But then it's not. So, I tried to download iTunes again in my computer so that I can connect my phone to it and somehow restore the phone to its original settings. The first attempt was a failure and I even throw my phone because it was kind of useless. Then, I tried to connect again and restore the settings and right now, there's an apple icon with a straight line across. I hope this will be fixed or else, well, I can live without a phone.

Slave Narrative of George Washington Buckner
Interviewer: Lauana Creel Person Interviewed: Dr. George Washington Buckner Location: Evansville, Indiana Date of Birth: December 1st, 1852 Ex-Slave Stories District #5 Vanderburgh County Lauana Creel A SLAVE, AMBASSADOR AND CITY DOCTOR [DR. GEORGE WASHINGTON BUCKNER] This paper was prepared after several interviews had been obtained with the subject of this sketch. Dr. George Washingtin [TR: Washington] Buckner, tall, lean, whitehaired, genial and alert, answered the call of his door bell. Although anxious to oblige the writer and willing to grant an interview, the life of a city doctor is filled with anxious solicitation for others and he is always expecting a summons to the bedside of a patient or a professional interview has been slated. Dr. Buckner is no exception and our interviews were often disturbed by the jingle of the door bell or a telephone call. Dr. Buckner's conversation lead in ever widening circles, away from the topic under discussion when the events of his own life were discussed, but he is a fluent speaker and a student of psychology. Psychology as that philosophy relates to the mental and bodily tendencies of the African race has long since become one of the major subjects with which this unusual man struggles. "Why is the negro?" is one of his deepest concerns. Dr. Buckner's first recollections center within a slave cabin in Kentucky. The cabin was the home of...Read More

Here's an odd little optimizer glitch – probably irrelevant to most people, but an indication of the apparent randomness that appears as you combine features. I've created an example which is so tiny that the only explanation I can come up with the for optimizer not "behaving properly" is that I've found an undocumented restriction relating to a particular feature.

Deferrable RI
Here's a lovely little example that just came up on the OTN database forum of how things break when features collide. It's a bug (I haven't looked for the number) that seems to be fixed in 18.104.22.168. All it takes is a deferrable foreign key and an outer join. I've changed the table and column names from the original, and limited the deferability to just the foreign key:

Quiz Night
Okay, it's a little early in the day (for me at least) to say "night" – but here's a fun little detail I picked up in Prague yesterday. What do you think will happen when you try to execute the following two queries:
select 0/0 from dual; select count(*) from (select 0/0 from dual);
I've only tried it on 220.127.116.11 and 188.8.131.52 – I could imagine the results might be different if you're still running 8i or 9i.
If those are too easy, you might want to think about an example that Julian Dontcheff produced at OpenWorld:
select power(0,0) from dual;
What SHOULD the answer be, and what do you think Oracle will supply ?

FBI decode
It probably won't surprise many people to hear me say that the decode() function can be a bit of a nuisance; and I'll bet that quite a lot of people have had trouble occasionally trying to get function-based indexes that use this function to behave properly. So (to put it all together and support the general directives that case is probably a better choice than decode() and that the cast() operator is an important thing to learn) here's an example of how function-based indexes don't always allow you to work around bad design/code. (Note: this is a model of a problem I picked up at a client site, stripped to a minimum – you have to pretend that I'm not allowed to fix the problem by changing code).

MV Refresh
Here's a funny little problem I came across some time ago when setting up some materialized views. I have two tables, orders and order_lines, and I've set up materialized view logs for them that allow a join materialized view (called orders_join) to be fast refreshable. Watch what happens if I refresh this view just before gathering stats on the order_lines table.

12c subquery factoring
I've written a few notes about anomalies in subquery factoring (with subquery) in the past, principally making a fuss about the fact that moving an inline view into a "with subquery" can cause a plan to change even when the internal code moves the subquery back in line. With the arrival of 12c one of my first sets of tests was to rerun all the examples to see how many of them had been addressed. I hadn't written about as many examples as I had thought, and some of them had been fixed before 12c, but here are few references to a couple of outstanding items that I thought worth a mention:
- Order by elimination disappeared – still broken
- Disappearance of semi-join transformation – fixed
- Consistency in view merging – fixed (in 18.104.22.168)

12c Debug
Now that 12c is out, here's an idea that might save you some time even if you have no intention of migrating to, or even testing, the product for a couple of years. Download the "List of bugs fixed in 12c": you may find that it's the best starting point when you're trying to solve a problem in your current version of Oracle.
A slightly more sophisticated version of the same thing – download and install the product, then take a dump of v$system_fix_control – that may also give you some insight into anomalies (that are not necessarily declared as bugs) in the way Oracle – and the optimizer in particular – behave. I updated the referenced note to add in a couple of figures for 12.1 – but one figure that's not there is the number of database parameters: now at 368 in the v$ and 3,333 in the x$ (in my Beta 3 release).

Invisible ?
I'll probably have to file this one under "Optimizer ignoring hints" – except that it should also go under "bugs", and that's one of the get-out clauses I use in my "hints are not hints" argument.
Sometimes an invisible index isn't completely invisible.

Not In Nasty
Actually it's probably not the NOT IN that's nasty, it's the thing you get if you don't use NOT IN that's more likely to be nasty. Just another odd little quirk of the optimizer, which I'll demonstrate with a simple example (running under 220.127.116.11 in this case):

Metadata bug
Here's a funny little bug – which probably won't cause any damage – that may remind you that (most of) the people who work for Oracle are just ordinary people like you and me who make ordinary little mistakes in their programming. It's a bug I discovered by accident because I just wanted to check something about how a particular undo tablespace had been defined, and I called dbms_metadata instead of querying dba_tablespaces. Here's the cut-n-paste from an SQL*Plus session on 220.127.116.11:
June 4, 2013
Here's a suggestion to help you avoid wasting time. If you ever include the rowid in a query – not that that should happen very commonly – make sure you give it an alias, especially if you're using ANSI SQL. If you don't, you may find yourself struggling to work out why you're getting an irrational error message. Here's an example that appeared recently on the OTN forum, with the output cut-n-pasted from a system running 220.127.116.11:
April 16, 2013
For your entertainment – there's nothing up my sleeves, this was a simple cut-n-paste after real-time typing with no tricks:
20:39:51 SQL> create table t1 (t1 timestamp); Table created. 20:39:55 SQL> insert into t1 values(systimestamp); 1 row created. 20:39:59 SQL> select t1 - systimestamp from t1; T1-SYSTIMESTAMP --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +000000000 04:59:50.680620 1 row selected. 20:40:08 SQL>
March 29, 2013
Missing SQL
From time to time I've looked at an AWR report and pointed out to the owner the difference in work load visible in the "SQL ordered by" sections of the report when they compare the summary figure with the sum of the work done by the individual statements. Often the summary will state that the captured SQL in the interval represents some percentage of the total workload in the high 80s to mid 90s – sometimes you might see a statement that the capture represents a really low percentage, perhaps in the 30s or 40s.
You have to be a little sensible about interpreting these figures, of course – at one extreme it's easy to double-count the cost of SQL inside PL/SQL, at the other you may notice that every single statement reported does about the same amount of work so you can't extrapolate from a pattern to decide how significant a low percentage might be. Nevertheless I have seen examples of AWR reports where I've felt justified in suggesting that at some point in the interval some SQL has appeared, worked very hard, and disappeared from the library cache before the AWR managed to capture it.
Now, from Nigel Noble, comes another explanation for why the AWR report might be hiding expensive SQL – a bug, which doesn't get fixed until 12.2 (although there are backports in hand).

Calcific tendinitis
Calcific tendinitis is characterized by the presence of calcium deposits, actually hydroxyapatite (crystalline calcium phosphate), in a tendon of the rotator cuff. It's often asymptomatic and occurs in 3-20% of shoulders in the general population.
When symptomatic it has a variable presentation of shoulder pain. It may be aggravated by elevation of the arm above shoulder level or lying on the shoulder. Patients may also complain of stiffness, snapping, catching, or weakness. It is most commonly found in adults between the ages of 30-50 years. Women, especially housewives and clerical workers, are more commonly affected than men.
What puts me at risk for calcific tendinitis?
The cause of calcific tendinitis is not well understood. It is not believed to be caused by trauma or systemic disease and is rarely associated with rotator cuff tears.
What is the chronologic progression of calcific tendinitis?
Formative phase: fibrocartilagenous transformation of a portion of the rotator cuff tendon with subsequent calcification – with a dry and chalky appearance
Resting phase: mature-appearing deposits, minimal pain, possible mechanical symptoms
Resorptive phase: calcium deposit is resorbed by inflammatory reaction – deposits have the appearance of toothpaste and may leak into the subacromial bursa and may be extremely painful
Postcalcific phase: fibroblasts reconstitute the tendon after the calcium deposit has been resorbed and pain subsides
How is calcific tendinitis diagnosed?
Plain x-rays may demonstrate asymptomatic calcium deposits in the rotator cuff tendons. Symptoms often occur if the calcification deposit is larger than 1.5cm. Calcium deposits may also be seen on ultrasound and MRI.
How is calcific tendinitis treated?
Most patients seek treatment during the painful resorptive phase. Treatment during other phases, during which the calcium deposits are generally asymptomatic, should be directed at other possible pathological conditions of the shoulder. There are several treatment options used for calcific tendinitis. Non-operative management is the treatment of choice. Oral anti-inflammatory agents are often useful for pain relief. Physical therapy is often prescribed to maintain or regain shoulder range of motion and strength. Corticosteroids may be injected into the subacromial space to reduce inflammation and control pain. Treatment varies based on the clinical and radiographic stage of the calcification. In the resorptive phase needling, aspiration, and lavage may be successful in achieving pain relief. The calcium deposits are localized by ultrasound or fluoroscopy and are broken up by repeated puncturing with a needle and then the deposits, appearing toothpaste-like, are removed by injecting and aspirating saline with a syringe. In the formative or resting phases another treatment option used to break up the deposits is extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ECSW).
Surgical treatment of calcific tendinitis with shoulder arthroscopy may be indicated if symptoms progress, pain is constant and interfering with activities of daily living, or there is a failure to improve with conservative management. The calcium deposits are localized and removed from the rotator cuff tendons with an arthroscopic shaver or through a longitudinal incision in the tendon. The rotator cuff may require repair after a thorough debridement. An acromioplasty is often performed during the arthroscopy to increase the amount of space between the acromion and rotator cuff tendons. This allows for easier shoulder movement which prevents impingment and subsequent pain and inflammation.
What is the prognosis after calcific tendinitis?
Early, aggressive physical therapy is started on the first postoperative day to regain shoulder range of motion and prevent stiffness. If an extensive debridement is performed with rotator cuff repair the postoperative rehabilitation program will be similar to that after a rotator cuff repair. Pain relief after debridement of the calcium deposits is usually substantial. After arthroscopic debridement of calcium tendinitis 70% of patients are noted to be pain-free at 3 months postoperatively and 90% are pain-free at 4 years postoperatively. Calcification has been reported to recur in 16-18% of patients.

Starting To Learn The Scales. Part 1
The first lesson is on the Ionian scale which is technically the major scale so click on the link and learn!
If I decided to play in a different key because the musician next to me decides "he just can't sing that low" and changes keys on me to G I can go ddown a half step on my solo because I decide to use this scale this what I do (this is the same formation of the fingers just a half step down and this works with any scale but rember this is mode I of VII) Ionian (Major Scale) Mode I In key of G
e-------------------------------3-5-6- B-------------------------3-5-6------- G-------------------2-3-5------------- D-------------2-3-5------------------- A-------1-3-5------------------------- E-1-3-5-------------------------------
Lastly if you want to Master these scales just descend then ascend wile practicing. this helps build forum, muscle memory, and lastly it forces u to recall the scale when you come back to your guitar to play it.

I thought I'd seen it all in this town, but it seems I was in for yet another surprise.
I'd been wondering why there were no "Vote No on Proposition 421" signs around town. I knew there were many people who, like me, would prefer Wickenburg to keep its small-town atmosphere. People who want to stop out-of-town developers from packing in high-density housing and departing with their spoils, leaving the town with too many people for its infrastructure to handle. People who want to keep property values high by preventing a glut of cheap housing. People who know when they see politicians in bed with developers and are outraged that the town's government would cater to special interest groups that don't have the town's best interest at heart.
I asked Dr. Vance Miller, one of the opponents of Prop 421, about this the other night when I ran into him at dinner at Rancho de los Caballeros' opening night. He told me that they were putting up "Vote No" signs but someone was taking them down every night. I found that hard to believe. How could someone take this fight to the childish level of a school prankster?
But this morning, I got confirmation of his words. Yesterday afternoon, on my way home from work, I saw one of the "Vote No" signs right beside a "Vote Yes" sign. This morning, that sign was gone but the "Vote Yes" sign beside it remained.
So not only have the proponents of Prop 421 sent out misleading flyers to the entire population of the town, but now they're removing their opponent's signs in an effort to make it seem as if there's no one against the proposition. Not only is this childish, but it's immoral and surely it must be illegal. Are these the kind of people Wickenburg should side with? If they stoop this low, what else are they capable of?

Earmark of a good Saturday: Your son calls from the bathroom, "Mum! I have diarrhea. Come wipe my butt."
Oh, gee, can I?
Our 4th of July was alright. I spent most of the first part of the day rolling around and moaning. I had a horrible headache and allergies, but once I got my act together we went to a picnic/graduation party for a cousin of mine. The baby joined a game of wiffle ball and I got pretty happy about the fact that he felt comfortable just playing with some kids he didn't know. I could never do that when I was a kid. Hell, I can't do that now.
We stopped by the mother-in-law's house and tried to figure out where to go to see fireworks. The sister-in-law got a text message from her friend, Maria, and we remembered that she lives on the South Side Slopes with an amazing view of downtown. We sped over there and when we stepped onto one of her THREE decks we saw:
Pretty, no?
The fireworks themselves were kind of meh. I kept trying to take pictures but my little digital camera really isn't up for low-light and long exposures. I got a few alright shots, though:
When we got home, the husband and I watched Assassin of Youth. When Incredibly Strange Video was going out of business, I bought a bunch of campy old drive-in movies about young women with loose morals and a few movies about the devil reefers. They're kind of entertaining, but they get tedious after awhile. Plus, it's just downright infuriating that people still kind of think that way.
And obviously the depiction of high school life in the late 30s, before the word "teenager" really existed to describe people of that age group, is somewhat exaggerated. But imagining a life where listening to 78s and doing the Charleston was the general idea of a wild Saturday night was kind of depressing.
Also, these movies were made purely for the propaganda/shock factor, so there wasn't a whole lot of time to worry about the plot making sense.
In a similar vein, we watched most of Brazil on Thursday night. I really, really wish I could psychotically love that movie the way everyone else does. But it's just SO weird. Everyone and everything in that movie makes me feel vaguely sick and it reminds of some long not-quite-terrifying nightmare I would have had as a kid. The soundtrack does kick ass, though.

Jim Harris Talks About Illustrating...
The Treasure Hunter
This is a fictional story. I must tell you that right from the start. It would be very easy to get confused about this, but just so we are clear…
#1 There is no such thing as a "stratosphere blimp."
#2 Pirate ships do not really disappear off Jamaica's coast like ghosts.
#3 Mermaid queens don't really have treasure chests brimming with jewels.
And #4 If a princess from Siam drops her purse in a volcano… we DO NOT REALLY RECOMMEND that you climb into the volcano to get it!
Now if we've got that straight… I feel a little more comfortable about telling you about the pictures… which I admit make it LOOK like everything is absolutely, positively, completely true. (Well, OK, the mouse sailing along on the end of the pilot's scarf is a little far-fetched… but everything else, I mean.)
Artistically speaking, there are a few tricks you can use to help your paintings look realistic. You can…
Use Overlapping to Make Paintings Look Realistic
Overlapping is where you can't see all of an object, because some other object is partly covering it. This makes the object that's partly hidden look like its FARTHER BACK. This is really helpful for us artists because when you're slapping paint on a piece of paper the actual fact of the matter is that it's all exactly the SAME DISTANCE from your eyeballs. But this little technique helps you get some objects to look closer up and other things to look farther away.
Here's an example of what I mean…
This is the most excellent Treasure Hunter having a chat with a lady who lives in a shoe. Yes, I know, it's a "different" housing option … but we mustn't criticize other people's choices. Anyway, you'll notice that there are little bear kids all over this scene and overlapping is what helps us recognize which ones are closer.
The bears on the tire swing are closer than the Treasure Hunter's pedal-copter because they overlap the pedal-copter a little bit. The girl with the purple bow is farther back than the shoe, because the shoe overlaps her. Etc. etc.
Here's a second way to make your paintings look more realistic:
Use positioning to make objects look closer or more distant.
If you paint an object up toward the TOP of the page… it will usually look farther away. See this picture of Mr. Treasure Hunter vacuuming up gold out in space …
Here hunks of gold rocks are floating all over the place, but the ones higher up on the page seem farther away. For some reason our minds process images this way, and you can use this to your advantage when you WANT something to look farther away.
Here's another example …
Here the Princess of Siam is busy flirting with the Treasure Hunter (who DID rescue her purse, after all -- which is significantly more than her beefy bodyguards managed to do) and a volcano is erupting in the background. Now it's true we can tell the volcano is in the background because it's being overlapped by the helicopter, but it's also important that the volcano and its mountain range are painted HIGHER UP on the paper – closer to the TOP of the paper—which tells our brains that it's WAY OUT THERE.
By the same token, Monsieur Mouse is right down at the bottom of the paper and that tells us what? He is real CLOSE TO US.
I think you've got the point. Now it takes a while to organize all this on a brand-new painting… but it is well worth the time. If you haven't already, you should try it!
P.S. One more thing you should know about this book…
For your information, Egyptian mummies do not really leave hieroglyphic "Out to Lunch" signs. If you see something like this in real life… you will know it is a feeble hoax… or it could be a mirage… or (best of all) you have just accidentally invented space/time travel. In which case I hope you will drop me a line about it… and give me a few pointers…as I have always hoped for a chance to try it myself.

Paul Merson is hoping Manchester United do not beat West Ham.
Former Premier League star Paul Merson has told SkySports he is hoping West Ham can beat Manchester United this week.
He says he wants the Hammers to win their final game at Upton Park, but does not expect them to do so.
Merson had previously said he believed West Ham would win their final three games of the season, but feels let down by the team's 4-1 loss to Swansea City at the weekend, suggesting the team were over confident.
He said: "It looked like they turned up against a Swansea side - who made six changes - thinking they would win.
"It pains me to say it but I think Manchester United are going to win and keep the race for the top four in their hands. No disrespect to Manchester United but I don't want to see West Ham lose their final game at the Boleyn Ground."
Merson went onto predict Louis van Gaal's side will win 2-1 on Tuesday night.
The Swansea result could work against Manchester United, and ensure West Ham are more up for this game than ever to ensure there is not a repeat, and make it up to their supporters.
United have already won once this season at West Ham, beating them 2-1 in the FA Cup, with striker Marcus Rashford making a big impact.

We are travelling from Rome to Florence by car in February. We would like to stop off in Greve and Montefioralle.
I have been reading about the beautiful route, Via Chiantigiana. Is it advisable to go through Siena or to turn off the highway at Montevarchi? The route through Siena is longer so I was wondering if it was worth the extra time or will we see enough of the Tuscan beauty if we go through Radda and Panzano.
My second question is when we arrive in Greve and Montefioralle, will we easily find the public parking areas?
Thank you

If I think I have enough votes, can I stop people from voting?
If I think I have enough votes, can I stop people from voting?
Nope, sorry! The polls are open for everyone to voice their opinions.
Ok, so there's no way for me to "shutdown" the poll right?
Have an opinion?
The only opinion from girls was selected the Most Helpful Opinion, but you can still contribute by sharing an opinion!
No, once the poll is opened, it's opened for good.
The only people who can't vote at all are those you blocked or those who blocked you (unless you post anonymously, then they can.
I see
No. Why do you wanna stop users from revealing their opinion?
No I meant if I feel like I have enough votes already, but yeah I now know you can't discontinue the poll
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.

An outbreak of influenza A pandemic (H1N1) 2009 occurred among campers and staff at a summer camp attended by children with hematologic and oncologic conditions. The overall attack rate was 36% and was highest among children and adolescents (43%), persons with cancer (48%), and persons with sickle cell disease (82%).
Since it was first identified in April 2009 (1), the influenza A pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus has sickened >1 million persons in the United States (www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/surveillanceqa.htm). Because of the novelty of this virus, its transmissibility and severity are still under study.
We investigated an outbreak that occurred at a summer camp in northern rural Louisiana. Study approval was provided by the institutional review boards of Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Children's Hospital, and Tulane University Medical Center, New Orleans, Louisiana.
The camp opened July 26, 2009 (day 1), with 101 campers and 116 staff. Campers were children with hematologic or oncologic conditions and their nonaffected siblings. All participants were physically examined and questioned so that anyone with presence of or exposure to potentially communicable diseases could be excluded from attending camp. Campers (8–12/patrol) were grouped in age- and gender-specific patrols (B1–B4 and G1–G4) with assigned staff (4–5/patrol); they slept in bunkhouses and had common bathing facilities. All campers and staff dined together and shared various activities.
On day 2, fever developed in a healthy camper in patrol G3 and promptly subsided. Fever also developed in a second camper (patrol B2) with sickle cell disease (SCD). This camper was seen at the local hospital, had a negative rapid influenza test (RIT) result, and was sent home. On day 3, fever and cough developed in 4 children (2 from B2); 1 was tested by RIT with a negative result. Evaluation of the entire B2 patrol found no one else symptomatic. On day 4, fever developed in1 child with cancer (B2) and 1 with SCD (G2 patrol); each had positive test results for influenza A virus.
The number of episodes of fever was considered excessive, and because additional campers reported having fever the camp was closed. At the time of dismissal, all campers and staff were provided masks and instructions about cough etiquette and handwashing; a dose of oseltamivir was also administered, and a prescription for oseltamivir was provided.
Ten days after the camp closed, all attendees were contacted (by email, telephone, and regular mail) to gather information about their outcomes. Clinical signs and symptoms of interest were fever (measured or subjective) or chills; cough or sore throat; muscle pain; and nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. On the basis of an adaptation of the definition by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/clinicians), persons with fever or chills and symptoms in >2 other categories were classified as having influenza-like illness (ILI); persons with fever alone (without an explanation) and symptoms in 1 other category, or no documented fever but symptoms in >2 other categories, were classified as having probable ILI (P-ILI). A case-patient was defined as a person in whom ILI or P-ILI developed within 10 days of closing of the camp.
Questionnaires were returned by 88 (76%) and 77 (76%) of staff and campers, respectively. Mean age was 22.5 (range 14–69) years for staff and 10.5 (range 5–15) years for campers. Of 88 staff, 56 reported no chronic medical condition; a few reported cancer in remission (n = 7), SCD (n = 3), or other conditions (n = 22: 9 asthma, 2 inflammatory bowel disease, 2 unspecified, and 1 each with epilepsy, gall stones, chronic hepatitis C, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, Kartagener syndrome, mental retardation, porphyria, stroke, and type 1 diabetes mellitus). Of 77 campers, 45 (58%) reported no underlying illness, and a few reported cancer (n = 20: 12 leukemia, 2 lymphoma, 4 solid organ tumor, 2 unspecified; 2 were receiving maintenance therapy, the others had completed treatment), SCD (n = 8), or other (n = 4: 2 asthma, 1 immune thrombocytopenic purpura, and 1 cardiomyopathy).
Of 165 attendees who returned the questionnaire, 59 (38.5%) reported symptoms: fever (40, 68%), cough (30, 51%), sore throat (21, 36%), muscle pain (16, 27%), nausea (10, 17%), diarrhea (9, 15%), vomiting (8, 14%), runny nose (6, 10%), and headache (4, 7%). Abdominal pain, weakness, earache, conjunctivitis, and joint stiffness were rare. Pain crisis developed in 2 patients with SCD. Twenty-five patients met the definition of ILI, and 34 met the definition of P-ILI (Figure). Symptoms were more common among campers than staff (46.8% vs. 26.1%; p = 0.009), persons of younger age (Table 1), and persons with cancer or SCD (Table 2). Proportions were compared with 2-tailed χ2 or Fisher exact test by using Epi Info version 3.5 (www.cdc.gov/Epiinfo).
Probably because of small numbers, no difference was evident in the attack rate between staff assigned and unassigned to a patrol, between boy and girl campers, between patrols, or between those who recalled or did not recall being in contact with a case-patient. Twenty-six case-patients sought medical attention, and 12 (2 staff and 10 campers) were hospitalized; 8 had SCD and 4 were in active cancer treatment; all were regular-floor admissions; none required oxygen support or other intensive care; mean length of stay was 4.25 (range 3–6) days; and all recovered uneventfully.
Twenty-five persons (18 campers and 7 staff) were tested for influenza: 13 were tested at an outside facility, of whom 3 had positive results (method of testing unknown); 12 were tested at Children's Hospital by RIT (BinaxNOW; Invernass Medical, Waltham, MA, USA) and direct immunofluorescence assay (D3 Ultra; Diagnostic Hybrids, Athens, OH, USA), and 5 (42%) had positive test results for influenza A virus. Of the 5 positive specimens obtained from patients, 4 were confirmed as pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus by real-time reverse transcription–PCR.
Limited preliminary information is available about summer camp outbreaks of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 (2). The closest scenarios (school outbreaks) reported attack rates of 3%–33% in the United States (3–5) and 2%–31% in the United Kingdom (6,7). Differences between studies and groups probably reflect different levels of exposure and surveillance definitions. In the outbreak reported here, the overall attack rate was 36%; infection was more common among campers (47%), children and adolescents (43%), those with cancer (48%), and those with SCD (82%). Because of their underlying condition, the threshold for evaluation and intervention is lower for children with hematologic or oncologic processes, which might account for some increased reporting of symptoms, hospitalization, and extended stay.
Children with SCD were disproportionately affected; 82% of them reported symptoms, and 89% of those symptomatic were hospitalized because of fever or pain crisis. For seasonal influenza, the hospitalization rate is 56× higher for children with SCD than those without SCD (8); the same trend seems true for pandemic (H1N1) 2009 infection. Among those with no underlying condition, the influenza attack rate was lower (28%), few (11%) persons sought medical attention, and none were hospitalized. For persons with no underlying condition, the reported symptoms suggest an illness no more severe than seasonal influenza.
A few limitations should be recognized. First, 25% of attendees did not return the questionnaire. Second, we used a clinical definition of ILI; however, although the limitations of the definition are well recognized, it is a well-accepted tool for outbreak investigation. Third, data are based on recall and report by participants. Fourth, only a few persons were tested to determine the causative agent. However, of the 12 patients we tested at Children's Hospital, 5 (42%) had influenza A virus and 4 were confirmed as having pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus infection. This level of positivity is in accordance with sensitivity reported for available tests (9,10) and suggests that most, if not all, cases of ILI identified were caused by pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus.

Londoner Rodrigo Alves has spent more than $265,000 on plastic surgery, transforming everything from his calves to his nose to his smile to look "perfect," according to the Daily Mail.
The 31-year-old flight attendant has doled out major cash for his now 30 body-changing operations, which include liposuction, calf implants, six-pack implants and Botox fillers, but his latest surgery was his priciest yet.
Rodrigo spent a reported $75,900 for a six-in-one risky operation, which included his fourth nose job, an operation to fix his droopy eyes, another that pinned his toes back and a "gruesome procedure" that cut the skin around his mouth and gums to make his smile bigger.
While he was at it, Rodrigo also got liposuction...for a special reason. He gained the fat on purpose to use it in a revolutionary, pricey stem cell procedure, which combined the fluid with his blood and injected it back into his hair and skin to try to stop the aging process.
Even with all that, the admitted perfectionist said he's not planning to stop going under the knife any time soon. "It's a long process," he said. "It is long-term maintenance. Once you start, it is difficult to stop. Naturally I'm a perfectionist. It's like a snowball effect and I'm not going to stop."
"It doesn't define the man that I am - I'm much more than silicone and cosmetic surgery - but once you get started it's difficult to stop," he continued. "I'm quite hard on myself and I'm scared of getting old - that's the truth."
Rodrigo first went under the knife in 2004 after feeling "too unattractive" to fit in in London. Although he claims his goal was never to look like a Ken doll, he did post a shot of himself posing with one Wednesday.
"I never set out to look like the #kendoll it was a nick name given by my friends and the press which doesn't bother me at all," he captioned the snap. "I just wanted to be a better person and I truly am #happy #plasticpositive #kendoll #kenhumano #realityshow #reallifekendoll #rodrigoalves."

India's ecomony
As India's economy continues to power ahead, international companies are flocking to the world's most populous democracy to take advantage of its high levels of growth. India's GDP is running at around 8%, and the country is predicted to become the world's third largest economy by 2050.
But while forecasts indicate the emergence of an economic superpower, one of the country's most famous economic sons is sounding a note of caution.
Jagdish Bhagwati advised the Indian government on economic reform in the early 1990s, and is a world-renowned global trade theorist based in New York.
He's visiting Australia and joined us from Canberra.

Think for a moment what would happen if you lost access to your bank or credit card accounts. This sounds far fetched but it can happen:

NOTE: The information below is now obsolete, and is provided for comparison purposes only. The fourth edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM-IV-TR contained the definition and criteria below for Mixed Episodes. The new edition, the DSM-5 (published in 2013) has entirely eliminated the definition of a Mixed Episode and now has a Mixed Features Specifier that can be applied to more disorders than those identified in the DSM-IV, including Bipolar II disorder. See Mixed Episodes Out, Mixed Features In.
______________________________________
The DSM-IV describes a mixed episode as a period of at least one week when the standards are met for both a manic (not hypomanic) and a major depressive episode, and the mood disturbance is severe enough to impair job performance, social activities or relationships, or to require hospitalization, or there are psychotic features, and the symptoms are not caused by drug use or a medical condition.

This definition leaves out anyone with bipolar II or cyclothymia, and anyone with bipolar I disorder who experiences both manic and depressive symptoms at the same time but with less severity. It also leaves all those patients who have a combination of symptoms of mania/hypomania and depression with no name for what they're going through.

Understandably, there is pressure both within the psychiatric and psychological community and among people with bipolar disorder to relax the DSM-IV definition.

As long ago as 1921, Dr. Emil Kraepelin described several kinds of mixed states, including excited or agitated depression and depression with isolated manic symptoms1. In 2000, noted bipolar researcher Dr. Hagop Agiskal reported that mania with few depressive symptoms represents the most prevalent kind of mixed or dysphoric mania.2

In a 2005 study3, Benazzi found that more than half of patients diagnosed with major depression also had racing thoughts. He concluded that this condition was a link between major depressive disorder without racing thoughts and bipolar II disorder. It should be noted, though, that people with bipolar II disorder and cyclothymia may also experience depression with anxiety symptoms and/or racing thoughts.

Currently, there is no named diagnosis for this type of episode; hopefully the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - DSM-V - will address this as a subtype of mixed episodes.

No one disputes that there are more types of mixed states than the DSM-IV allows. Since the next edition, DSM-V is not due for publication until 2011, the best doctors and patients can do for now is be very clear to each other just what "mix" of symptoms are present when an episode's symptoms and behaviors include more than pure mania, hypomania or depression. Just saying "It's a mixed episode" is not clear enough.
