Living with Alzheimer's: For Caregivers (3-part workshop)
When someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, friends and family have many questions. What does the diagnosis mean? What kinds of plans need to be made? What resources are available to help? As the disease progresses, new questions reflect growing needs for skills, programs and services. Living with Alzheimer's for Caregivers is a series of education programs that provide answers to the questions that arise in the early, middle and late stages of the disease. Hear from those directly affected and learn what you need to know, what you need to plan and what you can do at each point along the way. This program will cover information for caregivers of people with Early-stage, Middle-stage, or Late-stage Alzheimer's disease.
Topics covered will include:
- Developing a care team
- Legal and financial planning
- Coping strategies
- Care and treatment options
- Communicating and connecting
- Maximizing Independence
Living with Alzheimer's: For People with Alzheimer's (3-part workshop)
The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is life-changing and leads to many questions. What will this mean for me and my family? How do I plan for the future? Where can I get the help I need? This is an interactive three-part program where you will have a chance to hear from others who have been where you are.

Chapter officers throughout the Greater Pennsylvania Chapter offer a wide variety of topics semi-annually.
Support Groups
Help for spouses, children and long-distance caregivers coping with the daily stress of dealing with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. Additionally groups for those in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease or a related disorder, who would like to learn how to live and cope with memory loss and groups for people diagnosed under the age of 65 with early stage Alzheimer's disease or a related disorder, who want to talk to other younger onset individuals about how they cope.
From the first concerns about memory changes through diagnosis and progression of the disease, a diagnosis of Alzheimer's or another dementia, is a journey that best begins with information and education. To support this, the Alzheimer's Association is now offering e-learning options online for anyone to view from the comfort of their home, on their own schedule and at their own pace. Visit elearning.alz.org for more information
Art Engagement Programs
A number of our partners throughout Pennsylvania have art engagement programs available through interactive gallery tours facilitated by trained docents or volunteers for individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias, their families and professional caregivers. The goal of such programs is to make art accessible to people living with dementia by exploring what they see in art and what memories the art may invoke in them. While many will not remember their visit to the gallery, most will find joy in the moment of viewing the art.
Current opportunities with gallery partners include the Maslow Study Gallery at Marywood University, the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Andy Warhol Museum/ADRC.

Lancaster Brewing Company was one of the first breweries that got me into craft beer. In fact, many of the early review on this site come from Lancaster Brewing Company (2 of the first 9). It has been some time since I've actually had one of their beers. They didn't distribute to Texas and in Delaware, they are available, but it's nothing new, so I generally skip over them. One beer that I wouldn't skip over is their milk stout, but I can't find it in Delaware. If anyone has an in with the good people at LBC, tell them to fix that asap. Lancaster's Winter Warmer was a favorite of mine in college. The bar down the street had it on tap every winter and my friends and I would visit after night classes. Needless to say some fun times were had, in part, thanks to this beer.
This Winter Warmer pours a nice brown color with some hints of ruby. A tan head accompanies the darker beer below. The nose is filled with dried fruits and chocolate. I didn't get an hops or much in the way of malt (other than the previously mentioned chocolate) but I did get a slight bit of heat.
While the nose isn't super impressive or complex, the flavor gives up more than the nose. On my first taste I was met with a wall of toffee followed closely by some coco. I slight bit of roasted malt flavors come in, but they are very light and really add a background flavor. The dried fruit comes in to finish up the whole thing. There is also some heat in there, a little more than what the nose let on.
Lancaster Brewing Company Winter Warmer Ale has a lot going on with it. As it warms the flavors really start coming out and mixing in a joyous fashion. I highly suggest that you let this one warm up as it only reveals half of itself when it is cold (insert dirty joke). The heat that is in the flavor is noticeable, but I didn't find that it took away from the beer. It provides a nice warming feeling on the way down which allows the beer to complete it's namesake. If this beer is an option for you, try it out, I think that you will be pleasantly surprised by it, especially on a cold night. (more…)

U.S. Military Intervention in Syria Poses Risks, Kissinger Says
Using U.S. military force to help overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad may threaten democratic and humanitarian goals, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said in an opinion piece in the Washington Post.
Before deciding to send forces, the U.S. should consider whether there's a consensus on who should govern after the overthrow, said Kissinger, who served under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. Otherwise the U.S. risks getting caught in a conflict "taking on an increasingly sectarian character," he said.
"In reacting to one human tragedy, we must be careful not to facilitate another," Kissinger wrote.
The massacre in Syria's Houla of 108 people, 49 of them children under the age of 10, last week prompted the ejection of top Syrian diplomats from Western capitals. Russia is blocking attempts in the United Nations Security Council to impose more economic pressure on Syria.

Singapore, March 1, 2012 – Forbes today announced its inaugural list of Asia's Power Business Women, honoring 50 outstanding individuals for shaping a significant part of their business environment as founder-entrepreneurs, business owners, leaders of family enterprises and professional managers who have scaled through executive ranks. Women on the list are chosen for their hands-on management of profit-seeking companies, and many of the honorees have overcome significant barriers to get where they are today. The complete list is available on www.forbes.com/asia-power-women and can be found in the March 2012 issue of Forbes Asia.
The new list is a targeted survey of powerful women in Asian business. It
reflects Asia's remarkable economic rise and the diverse and dynamic ways in which women are wielding power and influence in a region that has become a
hotbed for entrepreneurship, investment, corporate expansion and economic opportunity.
"Since Forbes' debut issue in 1917, Forbes has remained dedicated to
inspiring and empowering the success of women in business," said Moira Forbes, President and Publisher of ForbesWoman. "As the first female family
member to serve as a senior executive in our nearly century old family company, I am honored to build on this tradition. This inaugural list celebrates
the dynamic ways in which Asia's businesswomen are driving some of the region's most exciting growth. Through their respective realms of power and
influence, these honorees span diverse industries, nations and generations, yet each has changed the face of Asian business, while creating opportunities for
future leaders."
Women from Greater China (mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and
Macau) dominate the list with 21 women on the list, or 42% of the 50 listees. India accounted for eight women on the list (16%), Singapore for five (10%), South Korea and Indonesia each accounted for four (8%). Japan saw three Page 2 of 4women on the list (6%) and Australia two (4%). The list also featured one
woman each from the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
Among the honorees from Greater China:
Marjorie Yang of Hong Kong's Esquel Group has more than doubled revenues to $1.2 billion since her expansion of the family business which produces cotton shirts for clients like Ralph Lauren. Cher Wang, Co-founder and Chairman of HTC, is ranked No.1 on the Forbes Taiwan rich list with wealth of $8.8 billion. One of the world's largest smartphone suppliers employs nearly 13,000 and competes with Apple and Samsung. China's Zhang Xin, Co-founder and CEO of SOHO, Beijing's biggest property developer, spent her teens working in garment sweatshops in Hong Kong. The Cambridge grad is on the Forbes China rich list with wealth of $3.3 billion.
Cheung Yan is Co-founder and Chairman of Nine Dragons Paper which makes
packaging materials in China by recycling wastepaper imported from the U.S. Dong Mingzhu, President of China's Gree Electric Appliances, transformed the domestic brand into the world's largest maker of air conditioners. Sun Yafang
advanced through the executive ranks to become Chairman of Huawei Technologies, one of the world's leading suppliers of telecom equipment.
Honorees from India include: Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw is India's richest self-made woman who founded Biocon at the age of 25 and turned it into the country's largest bio tech firm, making drugs for diabetes, cancer and autoimmune diseases. Under the watch of Vinita Bali, Managing Director of Britannia Industries, the Indian maker of popular biscuits and other snack foods has more than doubled the company's market cap to $1.1 billion. Mallika Srinivasan is Chairman of Tractors & Farm Equipment. She joined the family business in 1985 and is credited with catapulting it from a domestic player to become the largest exporter of tractors from India with $1.3 billion in annual revenues.
Honorees from the Asean region include:
Teresita Sy-Coson heads one of the biggest family-owned conglomerates in the
Philippines, SM Investment Corp, with interests that include the nation's most profitable and largest group of department stores and its number one bank,

Its hard to imagine that the largest on the video, the 9.5 would be dwarfed by the 9.8 that created the tsunami that killed 250,000 by...33x and then that multiplied by 33x greater and all that again by 33x.
The big ten would then be 33 times greater than a 9.9.
Where would you not feel that?

The 2011 NFL Combine results are rolling in, and two players have emerged (besides the obvious: Cam Newton) on the offensive side: Alabama receiver Julio Jones and Washington QB Jake Locker.
Julio Jones put on a show early Sunday at the Combine in Indy, stunning everyone with a 4.39 40 (faster than the consensus top WR in the draft, Georgia's AJ Green, who ran a 4.48) and a 11'3″ in the broad jump. They weren't quite Calvin Johnson results from the '07 Combine, but they cemented Jones as a 1st round pick. I've had Jones going 14th to the Rams in the draft, but today's performance could vault him higher. The Titans and Redskins could use a receiver, but the problem is neither has a QB to get them the ball.
Locker has been an easy target for critics due to a poor senior season, and the debate rages about whether he's 1st round material or not. Everyone knows he's a fantastic athlete – he ran a 4.52 40 this morning, which was excellent, but a far cry from the alleged 4.39 he ran last summer.
Locker's accuracy – or lack thereof – has been the problem, and it has caused Mike Lombardi of the NFL Network (he's a former NFL executive with half a dozen NFL teams) to drop Locker to the 3rd or 4th round. Mike Mayock of the NFL Network still has Locker in the first round. I still don't see how Locker falls out of the first round with so many teams needing a QB. Perhaps my last projection of 12 is too high. If he isn't taken by 15, though, I think he'll fall to the 2nd round. Everyone after the Dolphins – except for Seattle at 25 – is set at QB, and all have needs ahead of a backup QB.

German Energy-Tax Benefits May Violate EU Law, Green Group Says
Germany's plan to offer industrial producers 20 billion euros ($25 billion) of energy-tax benefits in the next decade may violate European Union competition law, according to environmental group Deutsche Umwelthilfe.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's Cabinet this month agreed to extend tax benefits through 2022 in return for companies raising energy efficiency. The target of a 1.3 percent expansion in efficiency a year through 2015 is too low because it would automatically be achieved because of a German program to replace its nuclear plants with renewable generators, Umwelthilfe said.
"That means the government will hand more than 20 billion euros to at least one fifth of producing companies in return for little to no effort," probably violating EU laws and unfairly burdening consumers, Gerd Rosenkranz, the campaign group's policy chief, said in Berlin. "We will file a complaint with the European Commission if the bill is passed unchanged."
Merkel is shifting Germany to renewables from atomic power after the Fukushima nuclear meltdown in Japan last year. The plan is estimated to cost 200 billion euros, the DIW economic institute in Berlin says. Companies have voiced concern that it will raise power prices for users in Europe's biggest economy.
Industry officials argue the tax benefits are important to soften the effect of "international competition distortions," due to costs linked to renewable-energy subsidies, said Michael Basten, the head of Germany's building-materials lobby, BBS.
"We have the second-highest industrial power prices in Europe," Basten told reporters in Berlin. "I'd say 1.3 percent is quite ambitious and we expect the EU to permit this plan."

Chris Kompanek • New York City • Aug 3, 2010
The play opens with a long scene with Doug and his doctor (John G. Preston), spliced with other scenes at his workplace with his cubicle buddy, Chris (David Lee Nelson), and at home where he strikes up a conversation with the new pizza delivery girl, Beth (Therese Barbato), whom he develops a crush on. These short vignettes provide a quick snapshot of his life with tightly constructed dialogue that's often simultaneously funny and unsettling.
For example, when Beth, a pretty girl without a good sense of boundaries, sees Doug in a bookstore reading Self-Esteem for Dummies, she bluntly asks him to "Guess how many abortions I've had?" He struggles and stammers before reluctantly saying two. Of course, the answer is zero, and she's just messing with him. They go back and forth for a little while and the flirtation builds nicely, especially since Barbato exudes a detached cool tinged with loneliness and insecurity that gels well with Bateman's "nice guy" act.
The action moves smoothly between several locations thanks to Jonathan Wentz's economical set, which carves out distinctive areas on the tiny Drilling Company stage. And director Adam Knight has made some striking -- and smart -- choices. For example, when the lights go up on the doctor's office, Doug and Dr. Wilson are both facing the audience, establishing the disconnect between the two while providing us with an intimate glimpse into Doug's life as he uncomfortably fidgets in a chair that wasn't made for him.
To Ward's credit, the development of his characters is never stunted or eclipsed by the issue of obesity. Moreover, there are no long diatribes espousing any particular view on the subject. The larger point of Binge is that all four characters are struggling with their demons: The doctor is trying to quit smoking; Doug's co-worker is trying (and failing) to be less of a douche; and Beth writes songs -- but doesn't let anyone hear them.
There's a Neil LaBute-like twist at the end that proves to be one those moments where everything kind of clicks into place. And while there's a lot that we never find out about the characters that we might want to know, we learn enough about them through their interactions with each other.

Ford will slash 15.5% of its Australian manufacturing workforce by July, due to a downturn in large car sales.
The 240 job cuts will come primarily from the company's Broadmeadows manufacturing plant, and is the biggest loss since the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, when Ford slashed 800 jobs.
The news comes in the same week as Ford unveiled its new-look Territory and the specifications for the upcoming dedicated-gas Falcon LPI, due mid-year.
After a big post-GFC sales push, Falcon sales have again slumped, down 39% year-to-date, including just 1157 vehicles sold in January, one of the worst figures in the nameplate's history.
Traditional arch rival, the Holden Commodore, has outsold Falcon by more than two to one so far this year. While the relaunch of a dedicated-gas Falcon is expected to improve sales, the much-hyped four-cylinder Falcon EcoBoost was expected late this year, but is now delayed until early 2012.
Ford has history when it comes to altering and abandoning its on-record decisions. In 2008, the company granted its Geelong engine plant a reprieve, after previously announcing it would wind-up manufacture of its 4.0-litre six-cylinder engine in Australia by 2010. Ford also retracted its call to build the Focus small hatch and sedan at Broadmeadows, stating that the numbers didn't add up.
While the addition of an economical V6 diesel in Territory is expected to boost production (the mid-sized SUV is down 8.6% YTD), Ford Australia Public Affairs Director, Sinead McAlary, says that the job cuts are required to ensure a solid future for Ford in Australia.
"We've taken a close look at where our business needs to be so we maintain production in line with market demand and also maintain our profitability going forward," she said.
"Although it is a difficult decision, it is the right decision for the business." Ford will first offer a round of voluntary redundancies, before negotiating the remaining workforce cuts during the next three months.
What's your say?Is this a sign of what's to come?

Kalrav ki madhur aawaz sunai dena shuru ho gayi thi. Kitni paas aa gaya tha Kalrav! Bas kuch din aur, aur phir wahin hasna, gaana aur din bhar masti karna :). Jaante jo, kalrav ka matlab kya hota hai? Jab bahut saare panchiyon ka samooh ek saath chehchahata haim use kehte hai kalrav. Us chehchahahat me jo meeta ehsaas hota hai, wahin kalrav kehlata hai. Shayad yahin dhayaan me rakhkar hamare college ke cultural festival ka haam "Kalrav" rakha gaya hoga. Sahi to hai, yeh Kalrav bhi kitna sukhad ehsaas de jaata hai.
Mere adhiktar mitr, jo ki us saal kalrav me participation karne ki jagah hindi sahitya ki events organize karwa rahe the. Aur isiliye, us official group ka member na hote hue bhi mein aur Goel unki help kar rahe the. Kisi bhi event ka sabse bada kaam hota hai uski publicity yani marketing, Jitni achchi matketing hoti hai utna hi achcha product bikta hai :) Aur is marketting me sabse jyada kaam karna hota hai adhikari logo ke doston ko yaahi ki mein aur Goel.
Marketing ke liye poster chipkaane ho ya kisi class-room me jaakar juniors ko batana ho, hum hamesha saath me rehte the. (Though Goel used to get some time off for some PERSONAL COMMITMENTS :P). Unhi dino ki baat hai, ki Chhabra ji ke dimaag me ek abhootpoorva (out of the box) vichaar aaya, aur vo shuru ho gaye apni 3rd class ki crafting skill ko lekar.
(Sorry, but I am very short of thought in Hindi anymore)
We got a large thermocol board, pasted a large drawing sheet over it and cut it in a shape of a large PEEPAL leaf. Then our painter boy (Verma) came in and gave life to that leaf using his painting skills. That leaf was named as "ASTADHYAYI", the name of Hindi-lit committee. It was very late in the night by then and we all have loads of work next morning and also the paint needed to dry. So we left the astadhyayi leaf in Chhabra's room and went to our beds.
Next morning, I heard some strange voices from Chhabra's room. The voice seemed to be of some new born babies mixed with the vocals of Goel and Chhabra. I and Gaurav rushed to Chhabra's room and saw that eight small peepal leaves were there around the astadhyayi leaf. And all of them were already given their names. In one corner, Chhabra was blushing and in another, Goel looked puzzled.
Though all those eight small PATTA-PUTRA served the purpose of our marketing strategy but it's still a mystery that what was done that night in Chhabra's room :P
Allah Rakkhaa passes away…
Sandeep always had a wish to have a puppy at home so that he will have a reason to come back early from his office (btw, you can understand what this 'early' means as the guy belongs to IT Industry). Though it was not a puppy but somebody else came to fulfill his wish. On a usual weekend Sandeep noticed a cat roaming around the house and thought of replacing the puppy in his wish list with this cool buddy. Now, it was not an easy task to catch and pet a matured cat but this was the point where Tarun utilized his 25 years of experience in the same field. (From his childhood, he has been doing a lot of experiments by catching, feeding and petting a wide range of species… but hey Tarun, it may not be that easy to feed and take care of your own baby! :-). In all, on day ONE, we were on the other side of window watching the cat drinking milk we had put for it and just on day THREE the cat was in our lap! Hurray! :-) After a few days, another cat accepted our friendship and today the condition is that though none of them is a permanent resident of our house but they spend most of their time playing with us. They don't mind if we stretch their beloved tail, if we force them to walk on two legs, if we put them under water tap (what they never like) or if we try to check their sharp canine teeth by removing the upper lip with our hand (what Sandeep usually does :-). It's really nice to hear their sweet mew-mew in the morning when they ask for milk or in the evening when they get to know we are back from office.
To add to all this joy, one day we realized that a new little guest is going to join our society. The famous search engine
Sandeep also was glad to hear the news when we all came back late evening. But now it was time to worry as the kid was still alone and crying. Finally, the most experience person among us, Tarun, went ahead and saw that one of its legs was swelling severely as it was stuck in the bush. The moment he separated it out, kid was quiet. Feeling little relaxed, we put it in a paper box in the store room where the cat used to visit regularly. Thinking, now the God only is the saver of him, I named it Allah Rakkhaa. Hey, at that point of time, I didn't know if the same was the full name of Oscar winner AR Rahman! Actually, in olden days it was common in Muslims and Punjabis to name a child AllahRakkhaa (saved by Allah), RamDitta (given by Lord Ram), GuraanDivaya (obtained by the blessings of Gurus) etc.
After getting out of bed, next morning, we first checked – AllahRakkhaa. He was still there, breathing safely. Before leaving for office we all three sat together and tried to feed it some milk with spoon. Believe me, this job was 100 times difficult than to debug a C# code written by somebody else! The kid was too small and its eyes were not yet open. We somehow managed to put few drops of milk in his mouth as it was throwing his head here and there (what a divine experience it was! :-)
In the evening we arranged a syringe and fed it with few more drops of milk. As we realized that the kitten was now our responsibility only, we searched the web again for how to feed and take care of two days old kitten. Looking into YouTube videos we confirmed that the kitten was not an early born (which could have been a reason why its mother left it). Per day 15ml of milk was recommended for it for first week of birth. By night we felt that he was not feeling that comfortable. Based on recommendations from the web, we sat again to feed it some more milk. When we were done with one syringe of milk, Sandeep expressed his worry – "jyada naa pilaao bechara mar na jaaye" (don't feed more, it may die). But as it was just a 2.5ml syringe (that too half went out of his mouth) we filled another one. After half an hour of hard work, we put him back in the box and went to bed praying for his good health as it was breathing fast by that time.
Next morning I woke up hearing Sandeep's words – "ye to chala gaya!" (He is no more!). I rushed towards store room. Little kitten was lying motionless. Allah had called him back. Trying to get him moving by different ways Sandeep said – "Perhaps it died of over feeding". After a long pause, exhaling a deep breath, I replied – "Thank God, it didn't die of hunger!"
I can't express how bad we felt for next few days. AllahRakkhaa came just for two days, but it made me think of a significant number of children dying every day due to lack of basic commodities. Every day, a big part of our population still goes to bed without food. We may feel proud by making big achievements in different fields but Global Hunger Index (GHI) clearly shows the alarming conditions of our country on this front (we were ranked 66 on GHI scale in year 2008). Parents are bound to see their children dying in front of their eyes in absence of proper medication facilities.
Instead of wasting time, money and power in internal politics, it's time to come forward and think in this direction. All our hard work, progress and achievements are waste if they are just to add more luxury to our life and are not aiming towards improving these severe conditions.

Pre-renders your web app into static HTML based on your specified routes enabling SEO for single page applications.
prepis now based on Chromeless. We'll shortly release an updated version.
npm install -g prep
Just run
prep in your terminal or add it to the
scripts as part of your build step in your
package.json. If you don't provide a
target-dir the contents of the
source-dir will be overwritten.
Usage: prep [options] <source-dir> [target-dir] Options: -h, --help output usage information -c, --config [path] Config file -p, --port [port] Phantom server port
In order to configure the routes which you'd like to pre-render you need to specifiy them in a Javascript config file with the following schema. If you don't provide a config file,
prep will just pre-render the
/ route.
const defaultConfig = routes: '/' timeout: 1000 dimensions: width: 1440 height: 900 https: false hostname: 'http://localhost' useragent: 'Prep' minify: false concurrency: 4 additionalSitemapUrls:
routes specifies the list of routes that the renderer should pass. (Default:
timeout is the timeout for how long the renderer should wait for network requests. (Default:
dimensions the page dimensions in pixels that the renderer should use to render the site. (Default:
1440 x
https prep uses https if true otherwise http
hostname is used to show the correct urls in the generated sitemap that is stored in
useragent is set a
minify is a boolean or a html-minifier configuration object.
concurrency controls how many routes are pre-rendered in parallel. (Default:
additionalSitemapUrls is a list of URLs to include as well to the generated
sitemap.xml. (Default:
There are three different ways to configure
prep. Which one you pick depends on your use case.
The probably easiest way is to export a simple Javascript object.
exportsdefault = routes: '/' '/world'
You can also return a function that returns the config for
exports { return routes: '/' '/world' }
Furthermore you can also return a
Promise or use ES7 features such as
async &
await (Babel pre-compile step needed).
{ const routes = await return routes }
The concept behind
prep is very simple.
prep starts a temporary local webserver and opens your provided routes via PhantomJS. Each route will be exported as a static HTML file. The resulting folder structure is the same as the structure of your routes.
Object.assign() in your code, please add a polyfill like phantomjs-polyfill-object-assign, because prep uses PhantomJS, which doesn't support
Object.assign() yet.
Join our Slack community if you run into issues or have questions. We love talking to you!

Oassu smiled beckoning Cid back towards them "Well it's in their best interest not to find us. We're honestly doing them a favour." he said closing his eyes to the sun. "Must be your good elven hearing, I can't hear him though. What's he saying?" he asked quietly petting Cid as he hopped onto his stomach.
Zadina shuffled nervously once free of the hug seeing where they had stopped "They couldn't just have a mailbox or something easy for us to pop the medicine through no?" he said quietly. "I hadn't expected we'd be making deliveries to criminals while out here." he added meekly.
Mari frowned uncomfortable with tolerating such lawlessness "Has no one ever been interested in forming some kind of law-enforcement out here? It seems to be inconvenient for everyone having bandits everywhere." she grumbled.
Itaka yawned re-entering the clinic "Hey Seph, Alpha, anyone you still in here?" he called stretching as he walked through the waiting area.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors rarely affect the urinary tract or children, and frequently mimic malignancy on imaging studies. According to the recent literature, only 35 cases of such bladder tumors in children have been reported. The authors present the case of a child with a bladder myofibroblastic tumor with favorable progression following complete surgical resection.
Keywords: Bladder tumor; Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor; Computed tomography.
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs), inflammatory pseudotumors or pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumors are mesenchymal lesions originated from non-neoplastic proliferation of myofibroblastic and inflammatory cells, with uncertain etiology and malignant potential, which affect several anatomical sites, particularly lungs and liver(1). Recent studies suggest the involvement of the chromosome 2p23(2) and co-infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis(3) in the IMT's pathogenesis.
The authors report the case of a child admitted to the Hospital Universitário and Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade de São Paulo with diagnosis of IMT of bladder, focusing on radiological findings and the differential diagnosis of the disease.
A female, 13-year-old patient presenting abdominal pain for one month, weight loss (6 kg) and macroscopic hematuria. The patient was in good general conditions, with paleness (++/4+), and painful abdomen at palpation. Laboratory tests demonstrated normocytic/normochromic anemia (hemoglobin = 7.8 mg/dl), hematuria and leukocyturia, with negative uroculture. Unaltered leukogram and renal and hepatic function tests.
Ultrasonography revealed the presence of a heterogeneous mass measuring 6.0 × 3.0 cm on the vesical wall, with internal vascularization at Doppler (Figure 1). Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated diffuse vesical wall thickening and an expansile, heterogeneous, lobulated lesion measuring 6.0 × 4.1 cm on the upper wall, with blurring of the adjacent fat (Figure 2).
Freezing biopsy and tumor resection were performed. The surgical specimen measured 10.0 × 7.5 × 4.0 cm, was brownish colored and had a pedicle measuring 2.0 × 1.5 cm. Anatomopathological analysis confirmed IMT with areas of ulceration of the mucosa extending up to the lamina propria and adjacent mucosa, presenting urethelial hyperplasia without atypias.
The postoperative period was uneventful. Two months later, pelvic magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated postoperative fibrotic changes, with no sign of relapse. Follow-up with abdominal ultrasonography did not demonstrate any change.
IMTs rarely affect the urinary tract and frequently are associated with trauma, infections or genitourinary tract instrumentation(1). Such tumors are most commonly found in adult individuals and rarely in children. A recent meta-analysis has identified only 35 cases describing IMT of bladder in this age range(4).
IMTs of bladder may be locally aggressive, mimicking malignant neoplasms at cytoscopy and imaging studies, the latter being its main differential diagnosis. Although any vesical site can be affected, there is a subtle predilection for the upper vesical wall(5). Essential criteria for the anatomopathological diagnosis include proliferation of fusiform myoepithelial cells and lymphocytic infiltrate(2). Immunohistochemical analysis may reveal positivity for cytokeratin, vimentin and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)(2).
At imaging evaluation, both cystic and solid variants have already been reported, although generally a single exophytic or polypoid mass is observed, almost always sparing the vesical trigone(6). At CT and ultrasonography, many lesions are ill-defined and invade circumjacent tissues, with internal vascularization identified at color Doppler(6). Large-sized lesions may present an extravesical component with difficult differentiation from malignant tumors. Generally, the lesion comprises necrotic tissue in the central region and fusiform cells in an edematous stroma with peripheral vessels and inflammatory cells, which explains the ring-shaped contrast-enhancement at CT. At MRI, T2-weighted images show hyperintense central area, with peripheral low signal intensity, while bladder carcinomas generally present hyperintense signal. After contrast agent injection, the signal intensity increases significantly in the periphery while in the central region little increase is observed(6).
The treatment consists of surgical resection, corticotherapy, radiotherapy or conservative treatment. Relapse after resection is generally rare.
Given the considerable overlap of imaging findings among IMT, rhabdomyosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma, the anatomopathological differentiation is critical in the presence of the above described findings to reduce the number of unnecessary radical surgeries.

A new wave of messages spreading through text messaging, Facebook and other social networking sites has sparked fear in the Latino community.
The messages refer to a classic urban legend about oncoming cars driving past without their headlights on. The myth states that you should not don't that driver with a courtesy flash, because it could be gang members playing a deadly initiation game, which requires them to murder whoever flashes their headlights.
"When most folks get the text or email the first thing they want to do is tell all their friends so they send a mass email or text message to warn everyone. Unfortunately, there are no facts to base this on," Detective Marc Wilder (who works with the gang unit at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's office in Tampa Bay, FL) told Fox News.

Keywords: Condominium
Beautiful condo and very clean. The location is perfect for young kids or adults. We would definitely stay here again.
The property was very clean and nice. The property is right on the beach. We would definitely stay here again.
Its so nice to have a condo that did not cost a fortune to rent, but looked like it did. We've stayed in a few condos up and down the beach and this one was a very good value. If you find you do more at the west end with Pier Park, the pier etc, then you can not get a better location than this one. Thanks Betty, we had a blast!
The unit was super clean and the kitchen was very well stocked with anything you could want for cooking meals. We did eat in for several meals and everything worked perfectly. Everything was as pictured, which was great to see after a long drive with 3 kids, myself, and my mom. The view was beautiful from the balcony, which was very spacious and could be accessed from the living room and the master bedroom. All beds, including the fold out couch, were very clean and comfortable. We didn't watch much TV, but there were very nice flat screen Tv's. We used the internet twice and it connected beautifully with no problems. Fontaine Bleu is on one side of the Ocean Reef building. Ocean Reef is about halfway between the two piers, so you can see some fireworks up and down the beach. You can also take long walks to the piers if you are the exploring type as we are. The elevator was a few steps from our door, as were the stairs and trash chute, which was super convenient. The height of the unit made for an excellent view. Directly across the street there is a souvenir shop, arcade, and go Kart track. You are not far from Walmart if you need to replace your tent.. haha.. A midafternoon sudden freak storm cloud took ours. Pier Park is a very, very short drive. Elevators were not slow. If you stay here just remember a couple of things: Tents cannot go in front of the chairs or be left up at night (view for people in chairs and weather could take your tent, like a projectile, down the beach). We were told to be sure to take our tent down completely at night , because the trash collectors would collect it for those safety reasons. No big deal, we just got up early to get a good spot for the day. The beach in front of Ocean Reef was way less crowded than the ends of the beach nearest the piers. Those folks could barely move. We had a great time and plenty of room! All of the guests were respectful. The outdoor pool was clean and very nice. The hot tub was great too. It was actually hot and not full of teens or little kids all the time. It was clean and square shaped. The indoor pool looked nice and people were using it, but we spent all of our time outdoors. Also, bring a cart for luggage. We didn't bring one and Ocean Reef does not provide them due to high winds and potential damage. Ms. Betty Evans was great to work with and answered all of our questions. We had no problems at all during our stay with anything. Great experience! Thank you. June 28, 2015-July 5, 2015
This is our fifth year staying the winter in your unit and again we have been more than satisfied. The winter was a little cold but we enjoyed our time anyway. Our grandchildren were here again and they thoroughly enjoyed the pools and the beach. See you again next winter. Thanks Anne and Brooks.

Airbus, Pernod, Daimler Earnings Swell on Euro Drop
Airbus SAS, Pernod Ricard SA and Daimler AG are watching profits swell with every step of the euro's decline.
Each 10 cent drop in the currency adds 1 billion euros ($1.26 billion) to operating profit at Airbus, according to Chief Operating Officer John Leahy. Pernod increases earnings before interest and tax by 12 million euros with each 1 percent fall, Finance Director Gilles Bogaert said in an interview.
As Greece's fiscal crisis leaves politicians scrambling to halt the slump in confidence in the euro, European executives are totting up the gains. Two years ago, the currency shot to an all-time high of $1.60 as the U.S. economy sank into recession, squeezing margins on European goods sold overseas.
"Because of massive growth in markets like the U.S. and China, we have a strongly growing currency exposure," Daimler Chief Executive Officer Dieter Zetsche said in an interview in Stuttgart, Germany. "The fall of the euro is a benefit."
The 16-nation currency has dropped 13 percent since the start of the year and traded close to a four-year low of $1.2509 in New York yesterday. A 10 percent decline in the euro boosts profit at companies in the region by an average of 3 percentage points, estimates Stefan Hofrichter, chief economist at Allianz Global Investor's RCM unit in Frankfurt.
Cognac to China
Toulouse, France-based Airbus, which sells commercial aircraft in dollars, is hoping to snare extra orders after the surge in the euro in 2008 handed U.S. rival Boeing Co. a pricing advantage. Chicago-based Boeing pays virtually all its costs in dollars, while Airbus has half its costs in euros.
At Pernod, the maker of Absolut vodka and Chivas Regal whiskey, the value of sales from the U.S. and China is increasing as the euro declines, helping raise overall profit.
"A strong dollar and weak euro are good news for us," Boegaert said in an interview on Bendor Island, one of two Mediterranean islands in France owned by the Ricard family. "We export more from Europe than we import, such as cognac to China and champagne."
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, which gets almost a quarter of its revenue in North America, anticipates a "double-digit" million-euro gain in operating profit as the fall against the dollar more than offsets other currency shifts, spokesman Marc Hassinger said.
"My concern is that the benefits will at most compensate for the headwind stemming from fiscal tightening, a more restrictive Chinese monetary policy and weakening growth momentum," said Allianz's Hofrichter.
Hampered by Hedging
Caught by surprise at the extent of Greece's fiscal woes and ensuing slump in the euro, many European companies are still locked into unfavorable hedging contracts and won't feel the full benefits of the recent decrease until 2011 or 2012.
PPR SA, owner of the Gucci luxury brand and Conforama furniture stores, will be negatively affected by its hedging policy, which runs through May 2011, Chief Executive Officer Francois-Henri Pinault said at the company's annual meeting in Paris on Wednesday.
Even so, the decline in the value of the euro will be "more than" compensated by earnings in other currencies in 2010, Pinault said.
That's not true for all industries. For steelmakers, the rising dollar poses "a problem" by making raw materials more expensive, said Gisbert Ruehl, CEO of Duisburg, Germany-based steel trader Kloeckner & Co. SE.
New 'Normal'
Sporting-goods maker Puma AG pays in dollars for about 95 percent of its soccer shoes and jerseys, meaning buying costs rise when the euro weakens, spokeswoman Kerstin Neuber said. Retailer Hennes & Mauritz AB, which accounts in Swedish krona, buys most of its merchandise in dollars from suppliers in Asia.
The euro has fallen as low as $0.8272 and risen as high as $1.6038 since it was introduced 10 years ago. At $1.2564, the currency's value is still higher than the weekly average rate of $1.1833 over the decade.
That makes the current level "normal," say executives at companies including Airbus, Daimler and Royal Philips Electronics NV, the Dutch maker of patient-monitoring systems.
"Everybody is talking about the weak euro," said Philips CEO Gerard Kleisterlee. "A level of $1.20 is the level we had three years ago. So from that perspective, I don't see the big deal."
Greater Protection
Given the swings in the common currency, European companies are seeking ways to give greater protection than hedging. Daimler decided last December to shift some production of its Mercedes-Benz C-Class to the U.S., Zetsche said.
BMW, the world's largest luxury carmaker, wants to reduce about 6 billion euros in foreign currency exposure by pursuing contracts with suppliers that allow the manufacturer to pay for components in different currencies, Herbert Diess, BMW's purchasing chief, said in an interview.
The practice, unusual in the auto industry where supplies are typically paid for in a single currency, was adopted by BMW in late 2009.
"We will continue with the multi-currency orders because we're looking at the long term," Diess said. "The euro could be down today, but it could also be up again tomorrow."

I refuse to call Megyn Kelly a bimbo, because that would not be politically correct. Instead I will only call her a lightweight reporter!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 27, 2016
Many political commentators have detailed quite cogent arguments explaining Donald Trump's mysterious appeal - some of which have described his use of brief language as "refreshingly clear and forthright" in comparison to the convoluted prose of his more politically experienced counterparts.
The appeal is not hard to comprehend. To citizens frustrated with the tradition of empty promises from politicians, Trump's plain speak brings new cadence & direction to politics. His response to critics of his method & to those who are fine with the norm of political jargon is where that direction seems especially off-putting:
"I am so tired of this politically correct crap."
The conservative sect of the United States has, in recent decades, championed the cause against being 'P.C.' in a genuine effort to eliminate the overcorrection of language in politics. But Trump, and many establishment politicians, have taken the game to another level.
Trump and those who agree with his brand of politics have strived towards associating political correctness with censorship of free speech. While that may sound like a fair description, the tradition of political correctness has not been bound to the elimination of free speech as it much as it has been concerned with the excessive sophistication of political speech.
In other words, forcing political correctness is not necessarily eliminating the truth from being spoken, it is about overdressing the truth to lessen any potential for controversy or contention.
The fight against political correctness that Donald Trump has championed has less to do with free speech and more to do with consequence-free speech: that is, the ability to speak whatever comes to mind without any regard to societal or emotional impact. That is problematic.
Trump's 'political incorrectness' that has apparently appealed to so many voters does not align with the sincere conservative cause of eliminating 'P.C.' culture. While he has indeed challenged the norm of convoluted speech that has hindered the American political system, he has done so at the system's peril. This is evident in the American public's struggle to differentiate between the manner in which he speaks and the content of his rhetoric.
There is a difference between having the courage to be politically incorrect, and simply being incorrect. Most importantly, there is a difference between speaking honestly and speaking the truth.
And that's the main issue with the prospect of Donald Trump leading a nation. He guises insult in what he defines as straight-talk. He has convinced all who support his cause to 'Make America Great Again' that making repulsive comments is "a revolutionary act, a badge of honor and a long-overdue tipping of society's scales back toward reason and truth" - as Kathleen Parker so aptly puts it.
In truth, Trump is on the wrong side of that scale. Most often, when his supporters believe what he is saying is refreshingly politically incorrect, he is insinuating a hateful mindset that is merely incorrect. It's not telling it how it is, it's not getting right to the point. It's saying whatever he wants to say sans any regard of potential consequence. Political correctness might be better than the dreadful comments he so often spews.
Calling Megyn Kelly a 'bimbo' would not be politically correct. What Trump fails to realize is that calling her that would not be 'politically incorrect', either. It would simply be incorrect. It would be repulsive and misogynist. Insinuating Mexico 'sends rapists' to the United States is not audacious political incorrectness, it is simply demagoguery. It is hate and xenophobia and untruth so troublingly cloaked.
Ultimately, Trump's brand of political incorrectness, is not political incorrectness at all.
Near the end of that same speech in which Trump proclaimed that people entering the United States from Mexico illegally are murderers and rapists, he stated "the American dream is dead." To his credit, for a man running to lead this nation, that is truly a politically incorrect statement. Rare coming from him. Although, as an optimist, it's hard to believe he's right.
But - if he does somehow succeed in adding the honorable status of POTUS on his résumé, history might regard that as the truest statement Donald Trump ever made.

Flexible and printed electronic sensing systems
- Design West: Sensors in Design
The use of printing as an electronics manufacturing technique could enable fabrication of flexible sensors over large areas at low-cost, potentially allowing for novel applications and more widespread using of such sensing elements. In this report recent developments made in printed sensor technology at PARC, a Xerox company, will be presented, including examples of optical, temperature and pressure sensors, fabricated using techniques such as screen and ink-jet printing. Printing also readily enables integration of sensors with other electronic devices to create more complex functional systems. In addition to the sensors themselves, PARC has also developed other printed electronic devices including complimentary circuits and memory as well as power sources potentially leading towards all-printed autonomous sensing systems.

The Canadian River Municipal Water Authority is preparing to issue $43 million in bonds so it can buy another 32,000 acre-feet of water rights.
Oct. 14PLAINVIEW, Texas The Canadian River Municipal Water Authority is preparing to issue $43 million in bonds so it can buy another 32,000 acre-feet of water rights.
CRMWA board members Wednesday authorized General Manager Kent Satterwhite to begin the process, which includes going to all member cities and contracting with them for the repayment of the bonds. The issue will require final board approval in January.
The bond proceeds could be used for buying water rights from the Duncan Ranch in Hutchinson County or the leasing or trading of city of Amarillo water rights, as well as the buying of linear water rights along the CRMWA pipeline.
The board gave Satterwhite approval to begin contract negotiations on water rights on land between Amarillo and Brownfield/Lamesa, as well as water rights in Carson County adjacent to the line.
The board tabled any decision on buying Duncan Ranch's 8,777 acres of water rights until its next meeting, saying things in the Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District's new rules affect the deal.
"We're still concerned about the rules," Satterwhite said. "I think they are getting real close. I'm not comfortable with converting our original permit to fall under the new rules, but I think they have a lot of positive aspects to what they've done."
At issue, he said, is the PGCD depletion rule, which was considered at the meeting.
C.E. Williams, PGCD manager, presented an outline of the new regulation, scheduled for a final hearing Nov. 10. He said two absolutes are the 50/50 rule, where at least 50 percent of the water must remain in 50 years, and the maximum 1.25 percent annual allowable decline.
If an area exceeds the 1.25 percent decline rate, it will be designated as a study area, which must be at least nine square miles, but can be much larger if necessary, Williams said.
After a year of study to determine no one within the designated area is producing more than the allowable 1 acre-foot per acre, the area can be designated as a conservation area and reduced by 0.1 acre-foot every two years until it reaches a floor rate, recently set by the water district.
Williams explained that all sections of land contiguous to the designated area would be included in the step down.
A new caveat Williams said he would recommend to his board of directors is to allow an entity, whether it is an individual farmer or CRMWA, to consider all contiguous acreage under one permit to be used in calculating compliance.
By doing so, he said, it allows the entity to buy nearby water rights that they may be affecting.
For instance, CRMWA could consider all 40,000 acres of its permit, Williams said, and if it buys the Duncan Ranch or leases Amarillo water rights, it could change its permit to include those acres in the calculation.
"Then it is up to them if they want to drill additional wells within the permitted area to lessen the depletion in the study area," he said. "It gives them latitude of deciding when they will do that and how they want to react."
Williams said he will make this recommendation to the board. However, he qualified it by saying negotiations toward this change have been good, but "I'm not going to continue to negotiate and then you sue me anyway."
Legal actions have been talked about by CRMWA concerning the district rules, but after a two-hour executive session, there was no mention of legal action.
Satterwhite said CRMWA's biggest concern is the necessity to rework its 40,000-acre-feet water rights permit to include additional land, because then it would fall under the new water regulations.
CRMWA has an emergency clause, due to a permit amendment, allowing it to pump 10,000 acre-feet over its permit in emergency situations. The water district's new regulations do not include an emergency allowance.
"We tabled the Duncan Ranch purchase until January because of the groundwater district rules. That water, by itself, may or may not be productive to us," Satterwhite said. "We may end up with less allowable production than we currently have."
There is a possibility that CRMWA can negotiate for more land in the area to incorporate with the 8,777 acres of Duncan Ranch water rights and put those together to offset the 10,000-acre-feet emergency allowance, Satterwhite said.
Among the possibilities, he said, are leasing or trading some of the city of Amarillo water rights in Roberts County, which are adjacent to CRMWA water rights.
These could then be considered in the calculations but never actually pumped. Amarillo is bound by a 25-year no-production clause on these water rights.
Satterwhite said that at the same time he will be trying to buy water, either by the gallon or by outright water rights, along the pipeline. He said the by-the-gallon purchases from irrigation farmers could be made before the next meeting.
Any water purchased in this method would be put into the current line and would be subject to the rules and regulations of the High Plains Underground Water District, Satterwhite said.
