Circumcision is a surgical procedure to remove the skin covering the end of the penis, called the foreskin. In many cultures, circumcision is a religious rite or a ceremonial tradition. It is most common in Jewish and Islamic faiths. In the United States, newborn circumcision is an elective procedure. The National Center for Health Statistics estimates that about 65 percent of newborn boys undergo circumcision. However, this number varies among socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic groups.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued a policy statement in 1999 on the use of circumcision. The policy statement was reaffirmed in 2005. The statement reported information from studies of both circumcised and uncircumcised males and found the following:
The report found scientific evidence that there are potential medical benefits of newborn circumcision. However, the AAP did not find enough information to recommend circumcision for all babies as a routine procedure. The AAP recommends that parents should be given information on the benefits and risks of newborn circumcision and that parents should decide what is best for their baby.
Circumcision is usually performed by the obstetrician in the hospital. When it is done for religious reasons, other persons may do the surgery as part of a ceremony after the baby is discharged from the hospital.
Circumcision is performed only on healthy babies. Because the procedure is painful, the AAP recommends using some type of local anesthesia for newborn circumcision. Several types of anesthesia are available, including a numbing cream or injecting small amounts of anesthetic around the penis. Although there are risks with any anesthesia, these are generally considered very safe.
There are several ways to perform a circumcision. Some methods use a temporary clamp device while others use a plastic bell that stays on the penis for a certain length of time. Each method requires separating the foreskin from the head of the penis, cutting a small slit in the foreskin, and placing the clamp on the foreskin. The clamp is left in place for a few minutes to stop the bleeding. The foreskin can then be cut and removed.
Circumcisions performed by a qualified doctor rarely have complications. Problems that occur are usually not serious. The most common complications are bleeding and infection. Proper care after circumcision helps reduce the chances of problems.
Your baby's doctor will give you specific instructions on the care of the circumcision. It is important that you keep the area clean. After the procedure:
Your baby may be fussy after circumcision. Cuddling him close and breastfeeding can help comfort him. Most boys do not require special care of the penis after the circumcision is healed.
A newborn boy normally has foreskin tightly fitted over the head of the penis. As long as the baby is able to pass urine through the opening, this is not a problem. It is not necessary to clean inside the foreskin, only the outside, as part of a normal bath.
As the baby grows, the foreskin becomes looser and is able to be retracted (moved back). This may take many months to years. Your baby's doctor will check this as part of your baby's checkups and will show you how to retract the foreskin. This allows cleansing of the area. As a boy grows, he should be taught how to retract the foreskin and clean himself. The foreskin should never be retracted forcibly. Do not allow the foreskin to stay retracted for long periods as this may shut off the blood supply causing pain and possible injury.
In some children, the foreskin cannot be retracted causing a condition called phimosis. This condition may require circumcision later in childhood.

Before a treatment or rehabilitation protocol can be established, your child's doctor must first determine the reason for, and source of, your child's condition. This typically involves a comprehensive physical examination and a detailed medical history. During this initial gathering of information, be sure to notify your child's doctor of any other illnesses, injuries, or complaints that have been associated with the pain or condition, as well as any previous treatments or medications prescribed. Preliminary diagnostic tests may then follow, including:
Children who require further evaluation may undergo one or more of the following:
After the evaluative information is collected and reviewed, your child's orthopaedist will discuss with you all treatment options and help you select the best treatment plan to enable your child to live an active and functional life.

For Schilling, first Hall ballot experience 'surreal'
However, Schilling had plenty of company on Wednesday. For the first time since 1996 -- and just the eighth time ever -- the Baseball Writers' Association of America did not elect anyone to the Hall.
Players need 75 percent of the BBWAA votes for induction into Cooperstown. Craig Biggio, the former Astros hitting machine, came closest this year, landing 68.2 percent of the votes.
Schilling, who finished his career with four memorable seasons for the Red Sox, received 221 votes, which was 38.8 percent.
"38.8? Ha, that seems somewhat fitting and insanely humbling. Just can't seem to explain to people how surreal it is to even be having this conversation," wrote Schilling, who wore No. 38 for almost his entire career, on his Facebook page.
Schilling's total was about a percentage point ahead of seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens (37.6). But Clemens, along with Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa, were first-ballot members whose first-ballot candidacy was tarnished by suspicion they used performance-enhancing drugs.
Schilling was one of baseball's most outspoken players against PED use during his career and has maintained that stance in retirement.
Major League Baseball issued a statement on the shutout on year's BBWAA ballot: "Major League Baseball recognizes that election to the Hall of Fame is our game's most extraordinary individual honor. Achieving enshrinement in Cooperstown is difficult, as it should be, and there have been seven other years when no one was elected by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. While this year did not produce an electee, there are many worthy candidates who will merit consideration in the future. We respect both the longstanding process that the Hall of Fame has in place and the role of the BBWAA, whose members have voted in the Hall of Fame's elections since 1936."
The six players who received more votes than Schilling were Biggio (388), Jack Morris (385), Jeff Bagwell (339), Mike Piazza (329), Tim Raines (297) and Lee Smith (272).
Being honest, anything over 35% would be stunning. This ballot should be Murphy, Raines, Bagwell, Biggio imo.— Curt Schilling (@gehrig38) January 9, 2013
"Until about two or three months ago, this was never a conversation of any serious content for me," Schilling said in an interview with ESPN shortly after the results were announced. "I think about two or three months ago, it started to get real. It's a surreal thing to be talking about the Hall of Fame. It's hard to explain to people. It's weird. Today was interesting. It was different. I mean, I know I've grown up with the game. The first ballot, to me, is reserved for very special players. To get in on the first ballot, I think you have to be a Randy Johnson, a Pedro Martinez, a Cal Ripken kind of player. I don't believe that I was one of those guys."
The good news for Schilling is that plenty of pitchers and position players have finished far worse than he did on the first year on the ballot and eventually were voted in by the BBWAA.
In fact, Bert Blyleven only received 17.5 percent of the votes in 1998 -- his first year of eligibility. Blyleven was inducted in 2011.
Morris, who has a history of October heroics similar to Schilling's, received 67.7 percent of the votes on Wednesday, continuing his steady climb since his initial year of eligibility (2000), when he received 22.2 percent of the votes.
Assuming Schilling can maintain at least five percent of the votes each year, he can be on the ballot up to 14 more times.
Red Sox slugger Jim Rice received totals far lower than Schilling's 38.8 percent during parts of his 15-year run on the ballot before finally gaining entry in his final chance (2009).
"It's out of my control," Schilling told ESPN. "I can't do anything about it, for the better or worse, I am who I am. If it happens, great. It would be awesome. If it doesn't, it doesn't change the fact that I was on three World [Series] championship teams and I played with some of the greatest players that ever lived. Baseball owes me nothing. This is just another bonus. Again, to be in the conversation, it's weird."
In an interview with MLB.com last year, Schilling said he was at peace with his career, no matter how his Hall of Fame candidacy played out.
"Honestly, and people find it hard to believe, I don't think about it unless someone asks me about it," he said. "I'm done playing. I'm not going to strike anybody else out; I'm not going to win any more games. I did what I did."
What Schilling did was go 216-146 for a career winning percentage of .597. His ERA was a solid but unspectacular 3.46, and the fact he played during an era when offense was dominant should be noted. While notching those 3,116 strikeouts over 3,261 innings, Schilling walked just 711 batters, pitching for the Orioles, Astros, Phillies, D-backs and Red Sox from 1988-2007.
Schilling is 15th on baseball's all-time strikeouts list. Of the 14 in front of him, the only ones who aren't Hall of Famers (Randy Johnson, Clemens, Greg Maddux and Pedro Martinez) either haven't been on the ballot yet, or in the case of Clemens, made their first appearance this year.
If the regular-season numbers don't sufficiently impress the voters enough in the coming years, perhaps Schilling's October accomplishments will eventually put him over the top.
Schilling was a central rotation member for four teams -- the 1993 Phillies, 2001 D-backs, '04 Red Sox and '07 Red Sox -- that made it to the World Series. Only the Phillies didn't win it all.
The big righty made 19 postseason starts in his career, going 11-2 with a 2.23 ERA.
"I'm proud to have done what I did," Schilling told MLB.com in 2012. "I know I said in '92, my wife and I were talking about what I wanted in my career, and we had a conversation about aspirations in baseball. I said, 'I want to be, when I retire, I want the 24 guys who suited up with me to say, life or death game, who do you want to have the ball? Me.' I want the other guys in the dugout to say, 'OK, life or death game, who do you not want to face? Me.'
"That what was what I wanted to walk away with, and I feel comfortable that I got close to that. Contrary to what I think some people think about me, I was a good teammate. I loved the game. I did everything I could do every time I was given the ball."

Hope you all had an amazing Labor Day Weekend! Many of us spend so much of our time working and not enough time playing so I hope you had a chance to relax, enjoy family and loved ones. The best long weekends are when you can be at peace with nature and your surroundings.
Rewarding yourself is sure to keep your energy flowing. How will you reward yourself this fall?
A trip to the picturesque Ram's Gate Winery in Sonoma seems like a perfect reward! "In a world obsessed with making things faster, where speed is valued above all else, Ram's Gate is our way of pressing pause."
The architecture is a modern interpretation of it's natural surroundings and weathered farmsteads of Carneros, while the interior is an eclectic mix of classic contemporary and urban cool.
Designer, Orlando Diaz-Azcuy did no wrong here and created something exciting at every turn. The interiors were designed with close attention to detail, from the open beam ceiling, the reclaimed wood walls, and the natural stone tops to the mill-work. Large glass pendant lights work great in open spaces because they make a gorgeous statement without cluttering the space.
Clusters of seating create intimate environments. Low coffee tables are always great for casually seating spaces.
The large island in this modern kitchen creates a perfect area for serving and gathering.
Can't you just feel the calmness of Ram's Gate Winery through these photos? What a serene setting!

The Byblos Art Hotel in Verona, Italy is both a contemporary art museum as well as a 5-star hotel. Traditional Italian villa on the outside and over-the-top modern madness on the inside. Stepping inside is sure to be a wake-up for your senses. The hotel is filled with modern works from the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright, Anish Kapoor, Beatriz Millar, Damien Hirst, and Cindy Sherman. This contrast of modern art and 18th century architecture creates a jaw dropping statement that will have you mesmerized!
The 18th century building, Villa Amista, is the work of architect Ignazio Pellegrini while the inventive interiors were created by Allessandro Mendini. Let's take a look inside the minds of these magical designers.
The presidential suite is a cheerful place, combining sculptural mid-century modern chairs in bold yellow that contrast with the white surroundings. Perfect for any modern space, transparent acrylic chairs glow like light sculptures when the sun hits them.
How happy would you be to wake up in this room?! The vibrant colors and fabrics modernize the ornate furniture. Ultra modern floor lamps and table lamps can add even more fun to an already colorful space.
This room (above) is said to be like entering into the designer's imagination. Their mind feels organized and vibrant to me.
The Junior Suite (above) is filled with furniture from Mendini, Ron Arad, and Philippe Starck. Colorful modern wall sconces make a statement in any modern space, even in a room as dramatic as this one!
The Damien Hirst artwork (above): bold fabrics, and ornate furniture...what combinations!
This work by Beatriz Miller (above) should have the art lover in you calling to make a reservation...

Dutch architects Bas ten Brinke and Carina Nilsson designed this modern home with edge, literally. We approve of this Nordic-style villa's clean lines and beautiful landscape, giving nod to Nordic customs and architecture traditions.
The entire home takes full advantage of the beautiful views with entire walls made up of windows. Not only is it great for taking in the pretty scenery, but the home feels very open and spacious. In the top photo you can see the ceiling even gets higher toward the main living room.
The contemporary interiors feature cool concrete floors and warm wood ceilings. Selecting just a few pieces of stylish seating and modern pendant lighting would help you achieve this look.

Modern wood paneling has no doubt progressed since the 70's, proving it's a trend that will be around for a while! We love the use of wood paneling on walls, ceilings, floors, and all-over because it has the ability to soften up a space. The white wood planks on the walls of this kitchen (above) create a very clean, natural feel. The oiled white oak floor warms up the space and the use of the same material over the hood is a feature design element. See how even this little accent of the natural wood on the walls can make such a big statement.
The marine plywood panels on the ceiling create a unifying element within this space. The use of wood on the ceiling allows you to use tile on the floor without the space feeling too cold.
Reclaimed wood walls are a very popular trend right now. They mix so beautifully with bold colors and industrial elements. The use of industrial wall sconces against reclaimed wood is the perfect pairing.
Wrapping the walls and ceiling of this rustic bathroom in un-milled, reclaimed wood is a great way to achieve that rustic modern cabin feel. The use of light wood planks and the light concrete floor feels bright and airy, creating a beautiful contrast with the black vanity.
Today, restaurant design uses reclaimed wood to achieve an industrial modern feel. It's a trendy look, creates a cozy atmosphere, and also helps absorb sound.

Why Choose Professional Carpet Cleaners?
Carpets have an important role to play in your home and office; they add to the aesthetic beauty. Carpets also tend to get dirty more often than other the decor items of your home/office because they have to go through a lot of foot traffic, dirt, more usage, polluted air, and what not. Their fabric is such that they act as magnet for numerous kinds of contaminants and toxins.
When carpets get dirty people try to do carpet cleaning themselves using water or sometimes a damp cloth. But one needs to understand the importance of professional carpet cleaning.

HGL is a compiler/interpreter suite for developing images. It features its own simple but powerful language, Lua integration, output in various formats as well as runtime input handled by plugins, and easy integration into various environments like Web servers or graphical applications. The input is taken from a source file, which has to be compiled for quick and frequent access by the interpreter. An interpreter then runs the compiled files, takes input from custom plugins (if neccessary), and outputs its result via custom plugins.
PH7 is an in-process software library that implements a highly-efficient embeddable bytecode compiler and a virtual machine for the PHP programming language. It implements most PHP 5.3 constructs, including heredoc, nowdoc, gotos, classes, anonymous functions, and closures, along with powerful extensions such as function overloading, comma expressions, full type hinting, string comparison operators, and more. It is the ideal library for enhancing your application or device (such as router or set-top box) with dynamic Web interfaces, with the benefits and power of PHP and without the overhead incurred by process creation. As an embedded interpreter, it allows multiple interpreter states to coexist in the same program, without any interference between them.
Alore is an object-oriented programming language with a clean syntax that resembles Python and Lua. It is optionally-typed like Google Dart. It is both a dynamic scripting language and a general-purpose language with static typing. It is aimed at most programming tasks, from short scripts to complex applications. It allows programmers to freely mix static and dynamic typing within a program. It has native threads and a very fast edit-test cycle. Programmers can always bypass type checking and run their programs immediately.

(Critical Survey of Literature for Students)
According to the laws of the lands of Ephesus and Syracuse, it is forbidden for a native of one land to journey to the other; the penalty for the crime is execution or the ransom of a thousand marks. Aegeon, a merchant of Syracuse who recently traveled to Ephesus, is to be put to death because he cannot raise the thousand marks. When Solinus, duke of Ephesus, hears Aegeon's story, he gives the merchant one more day to raise the money.
It is a sad and strange tale Aegeon tells. Many years earlier, he journeyed to Epidamnum. Shortly after his wife joined him there she delivered identical twin boys. Strangely enough, at the same time and in the same house, another woman bore identical twin boys. Because that woman and her husband were so poor that they could not provide for their children, they gave them to Aegeon and his wife Aemilia, to be attendants to their two sons. On the way home to Syracuse, Aegeon and his family were shipwrecked. Aemilia and the two children with her were rescued by one ship, Aegeon and the other two by a different ship, and Aegeon did not see his wife and those two children again. When he reached eighteen years of age, Antipholus, the son reared by his father in Syracuse, grows eager to find his brother, so he and his attendant set out to find their twins. Aegeon comes to Ephesus to seek them.
Unknown to Aegeon, Antipholus and his attendant, Dromio, are just arrived in Ephesus. There a merchant of the city warns them to say that they come from somewhere other than Syracuse, lest they suffer the penalty already meted out to Aegeon. Antipholus, having sent Dromio to find lodging for them, is utterly bewildered when the servant returns and says that Antipholus's wife waits dinner for him. What happens is that the Dromio who returns to Antipholus is Dromio of Ephesus, servant and attendant to Antipholus of Ephesus. Antipholus of Syracuse gives his Dromio money to pay for lodging, and when he hears a tale of a wife about whom he knows nothing he thinks his servant tricked him and asks for the return of the money. Dromio of Ephesus was given no money, however, and when he professes no knowledge of the sum, Antipholus of Syracuse beats him soundly for dishonesty. Antipholus of Syracuse later hears that his money was delivered to the inn.
A short time later, the wife and sister-in-law of Antipholus of Ephesus meet Antipholus of Syracuse and, after berating him for refusing to come home to dinner, accuses him of unfaithfulness with another woman. Not understanding a word of what Adriana says, Antipholus of Syracuse goes to dinner in her home, where Dromio is assigned by her to guard the gate and allow no one to enter. Thus it is that Antipholus of Ephesus arrives at his home with his Dromio and is refused admittance. So incensed is he that he leaves his house and goes to an inn. There he dines with a courtesan and gives her the gifts he intended for...

Childhood Cancer Radiation Not Associated With Increased Risk of Miscarriage
Cancer treatment often includes the use of radiation therapy . There is understandable concern of the future fertility for women who undergo these treatments. Treatment can affect female fertility in two ways. First the reproductive organs are damaged through the process and a woman may be unable to conceive. Secondly, there is also concern with the less obvious effect the treatment may have on the eggs necessary for future conception. Damage to the eggs could result in birth defects.
Researchers from the Danish Cancer Society reviewed the rates of pregnancy complications in women that had previous radiation therapy as children. The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology , found that there was no significant difference in the number of live births, still births, or abortions.
About the Study
The cohort study reviewed the records of pregnancy outcomes in 21,125 women. The women included:
- 1,688 survivors of childhood cancer
- 2,737 sisters of cancer survivors
- 16,700 women in general population
The rates of live births, stillbirths, or abortions were noted. The abortions included spontaneous , induced, ectopic , and others. The review found that there was no significant increase in risk of complications in women that had been treated for cancer than the general population. There were two smaller subgroups that did appear to have higher rates of spontaneous abortion:
- Survivors with high-dose irradiation to the ovary and uterus
- Survivors with high-dose radiation to the pituitary gland
How Does This Affect You?
Before receiving radiation treatment you should talk to your doctor about fertility concerns. This study demonstrated that certain types of radiation may not affect future fertility options but others may need a closer look. This is just one study and can not provide conclusive evidence. Several studies with specific conditions will need to be conducted to fully understand the effects of radiation therapy on fertility.
Treating the cancer is the first step, but talk to your oncologist about the short- and long-term effects of the treatment. Having the information will help you make the best decision for you.

Fibrous dysplasia is a chronic disorder in which bone expands due to abnormal development of fibrous tissue, often resulting in one, or more, of the following:
Any bone can be affected. More than one bone can be affected at any one time, and, when multiple bones are affected, it is not unusual for them to all be on one side of the body. However, fibrous dysplasia does not spread from one bone to another. The most commonly affected bones include the following:
Some people develop hormonal problems and a condition called McCune-Albright syndrome. McCune-Albright syndrome, another form of fibrous dysplasia, includes different symptoms, such as early onset of puberty and skin spots, called café-au-lait spots.
Fibrous dysplasia usually occurs in children ages 3 to 15, but it sometimes is not diagnosed until adulthood. It is found equally between males and females.
The exact cause of fibrous dysplasia is not known, but it is believed to be due to a chemical irregularity in a specific bone protein. This bone protein abnormality may be due to a gene mutation present at birth, although it is not known to be an inherited disorder.
The following are the most common symptoms for fibrous dysplasia. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of fibrous dysplasia may resemble other bone disorders or medical problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for fibrous dysplasia may include the following:

Chromosomal Abnormalities
by Beth Walsh, MA
Chromosomal abnormalities are a group of conditions that are the result of a problem with one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes. Chromosomes are the structures within the body's cells that contain genes. Normally, people have 23 pairs of chromosomes. For each of these pairs, 1 chromosome comes from the mother and the other chromosome comes from the father. However, an abnormality can affect any chromosome, including the sex chromosomes.
A chromosomal abnormality can affect the number of chromosomes, the structure of certain chromosomes, or the composition of chromosomes. If the material found in chromosomes is balanced so that the expected amount is found in each cell, no abnormalities occur. If that balance is upset, chromosomal abnormalities occur and can cause a wide range of abnormalities, usually birth defects or death of the embryo or fetus before birth.

Down syndrome, now known as trisomy 21, is the most common and best known chromosomal abnormality. It is a trisomy condition, where there is an extra, third chromosome rather than the standard 2.
With Down syndrome, physical and mental development is delayed. Infants with Down syndrome tend to be quiet and passive with somewhat limp muscles. Most children with Down syndrome have a lower than average IQ. Children with Down syndrome tend to have a small head, a broad, flat face with slanting eyes and a short nose. The tongue is large and their ears are small and set low in the head. The hands are short and broad, with a single crease across the palm.
About half of all children with Down syndrome have heart defects and many develop thyroid disease. They are also prone to hearing and vision problems.
Down syndrome can be diagnosed before birth. Your physician may be able to recognize some of the distinctive physical characteristics of an infant with Down syndrome during an ultrasound. The diagnosis is confirmed by testing the infant's chromosomes for trisomy 21 or other disorders of the 21st chromosome. After the diagnosis is made, doctors use further tests to detect abnormalities associated with Down syndrome.
Most children with Down syndrome survive to adulthood. Life expectancy for a child with Down syndrome is about 45-55 years old. IQ levels and educational/vocational achievement vary greatly. Many, but not all, have progressively worsening mental functioning and develop early-onset dementia that is similar to Alzheimer's disease. Heart abnormalities are often treatable with drugs or surgery. Heart disease and leukemia account for most deaths among children with Down syndrome.
Fragile X Syndrome
Fragile X syndrome is the next most commonly diagnosed genetic cause of intellectual disability after Down syndrome. The symptoms of fragile X syndrome are caused by abnormalities in DNA on the X chromosome. Usually, the condition is passed down to affected children by their mothers.
Many children with the syndrome have normal intelligence. The severity of symptoms, including intellectual disability, is worse in boys than in girls with the disorder. Fragile X results in delayed development, large ears, a prominent chin and forehead, and, in boys, large testes, which is most apparent after puberty. The joints may be abnormally flexible, and heart disease may occur. Features of autism may develop. Women may experience menopause in their mid 30s.
The presence of abnormal DNA on the fragile X chromosome can be detected by tests before or after birth. The greater the number of abnormal repetitions of DNA found, the more likely the child will have symptoms.
Klinefelter Syndrome TOP
Klinefelter syndrome is a disorder in which male infants are born with an extra X chromosome (XXY). While most boys with Klinefelter syndrome have normal or slightly decreased intelligence, many have speech and reading disabilities and difficulties with planning. Most also have problems with language skills. Early problems with language may lead to problems with social interactions that affect behavior. Although physical characteristics can vary greatly, most boys with the condition are tall with long arms but otherwise normal in appearance.
Puberty usually occurs at the normal time, but the testes remain small. At puberty, growth of facial hair is minimal, and the breasts may enlarge somewhat. Men and boys with the syndrome are usually infertile. Men with Klinefelter syndrome develop diabetes mellitus, chronic lung disease, varicose veins, hypothyroidism, and breast cancer more often than other men.
The syndrome usually is not suspected until puberty when most of the symptoms develop. Chromosomal analysis confirms the diagnosis.
Turner Syndrome TOP
In Turner syndrome, girls are born with one of the 2 X chromosomes partially or completely missing.
Many newborns with Turner syndrome have swelling on the backs of their hands and tops of their feet. Swelling or loose folds of skin are often evident on the back of the neck. Many other abnormalities often develop, including a webbed neck, a low hairline at the back of the neck, a broad chest with wide-spaced nipples, and poorly developed nails.
As a girl with Turner syndrome gets older, she has no menstrual periods and the breasts, vagina, and labia remain childlike rather than undergoing the changes of puberty. The ovaries usually do not contain developing eggs. A girl or woman with Turner syndrome is almost always short, and obesity is common.
Other disorders often develop, such as:
Many girls with Turner syndrome have difficulty in assessing visual and spatial relationships and have problems with planning and attention. They tend to score poorly on certain performance tests and in mathematics, even if they achieve average or above-average scores on verbal intelligence tests. Intellectual disability is uncommon.
Noonan Syndrome TOP
Noonan syndrome can be inherited or can develop unpredictably in children whose parents have normal genes. Although children with the syndrome have normal chromosomal structure, they have many characteristics typical of Turner syndrome. Both boys and girls can be affected with this condition, which is caused by a gene mutation on chromosome 12.
Symptoms may include webbing of the neck, low-set ears, droopy eyelids, short stature, shortened ring fingers, a high-arched palate, heart and blood vessel abnormalities, and impaired intelligence. Most affected people are short. Boys may have underdeveloped or undescended testes. In girls, the ovaries may be underactive or stop working. Puberty may be delayed, and infertility is possible.
Triple X TOP
Triple X syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality in females. It occurs when the female inherits three X chromosomes instead of two. Because females with this disorder either have mild or no symptoms at all, it is believed that there are a lot of cases that go undiagnosed. Those with with symptoms of triple X syndrome tend to have slightly lower intelligence and problems with verbal skills. They also may have:
Sometimes the syndrome causes infertility. However, some women with triple X syndrome have given birth to physically normal children with normal chromosomes.
Extremely rare cases of infants with four or even five X chromosomes have been identified. The more X chromosomes the girl has, the greater the chance of intellectual disability and physical abnormalities.
XYY Syndrome TOP
XYY syndrome is a disorder in which a male infant is born with an extra Y chromosome.
Boys with XYY syndrome tend to be tall and have difficulties with language. Their IQ tends to be slightly lower than that of their family members. Many experience learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, and minor behavioral disorders.
These are just a few of the conditions that result from chromosomal abnormalities. Talk to your healthcare provider if you are concerned about unusual symptoms in your child.

In the UK, wearing a cycling helmet still isn't mandatory, but we can't think of a single reason not to do so. As well as being the most important part of your body, how could you ever decide on the frame colour of your new bike if your head was put out of action by a simple fall? Our advice is to wear a cycle helmet whilst you roll, and look splendid doing so with the great selections we have in store right now, whether you ride the road, trails or love the work commute.
Like all cycle clothing and accessories, choosing a cycle helmet is a decision that should be based on how often you ride, and the type of riding you do. If you commute regularly for example, an entry level mountain bike or road helmet would be a sensible choice. However, if your regular ride is road based, then it makes sense to look for a road cycling helmet that matches how often you manage get out and about, your budget and expectation of features - likewise for a mountain bike helmet. Conversely, if you cycle in the city, a more urban style of helmet might be the best option for your ride.

The only symptom of infertility is an inability to conceive. A couple should seek help for infertility if they are unable to conceive after one year of regular sexual intercourse without contraception. You will both be evaluated to determine if the infertility is related to problems in one partner, the other, or both.

Anyone who paid attention to the social justice protests of 2011 in Israel knows that the country we once envisioned as egalitarian and just has trouble living up to its original ideals.
But if you are as committed to Israel as we at the New Israel Fund of Canada are, that simply gets you to the next step – doing something about it.
Fortunately, much is being done about Israel's social justice issues, and the civil society we support is leading the way.
For example, to help cultivate new leaders in the next generation, BINA, a secular yeshiva in Israel, fosters national leadership among young Israelis through the application of Jewish texts to real-world social issues.
Students participate in year-long programs during and between their military service injecting national responsibility for social issues into Israeli discourse using a pluralistic, tolerant approach based on the best Jewish values. The New Israel Fund of Canada supports this initiative by BINA.
To strengthen Israel's civil society, SHATIL, the New Israel Fund's action arm, trains nascent non-profit organizations in the business of running themselves. Across the country, SHATIL strengthens organizations from their inception at the grassroots level to govern themselves, fundraise, keep to a budget and grow. The New Israel Fund of Canada supports SHATIL.
Working with communities to break the cycle of poverty, Mahapach-Taghir offers financial aid to university students from Israel's most marginalized communities. In return, those students tutor neighbourhood kids and conduct workshops on women's rights and healthy living for adults, thereby introducing the benefits of higher education and public health back into their villages. The New Israel Fund of Canada supports this initiative as well.
It's been widely reported by scholars and sociologists, pulpit rabbis and our own children that the tie to Israel may be more tenuous for the next generations of North American Jews.
That's why North American Jews are poorly served by the vision of a romanticized Israel and by an absence of discussion of real Israeli life and challenges. For secular Jews, Israel is not primarily the nation given to us at Mount Sinai, but the living embodiment of an ancient people challenged to create a modern, tolerant and just society.
Young North American Jews want their own authentic connection to Israel, separate from their parents and grandparents. They want to grapple with a "real Israel" whose imperfections give way to a personal invitation for tikkun olam.
That's why the New Israel Fund of Canada works hard to ensure that the next generations of Canadian Jews will take up Israel's cause and leave their own mark on an Israel that needs them.
We don't agree that younger generations will reject Israel if it's portrayed critically within the context of an abiding commitment to its strength and survival. Instead, they will do the opposite – they will find a personal connection and a reason to commit to an Israel not of the past, but of the future.
Orit Sarfaty is executive director of the New Israel Fund of Canada.

KMeleonWiki > Documentation > Tutorials > AdBlockPrivoxy
(Tutorial by Brian (bst82551))
"Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, modifying web page content, managing cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks."
This basically means that a proxy server will be run on your computer which allows only connections to be made by your computer by default. I'm sure that if you wanted to, you could set it up for "multi-user networks"... but for our purposes today, we won't need to do this.
1. The first thing you will need to do is Download the latest (stable) release of Privoxy. At the time of writing this tutorial, the most recent release is 3.0.3.
2. Once you have this done, install it. When you are asked to run Privoxy after it is installed, it is a good idea to check yes. Also, I would recommend that you run it at start up and add it to the start menu. So, basically just don't change anything... just install it with all of the default options unless you have a reason for changing one of these options.
3. Ok, so there's this blue "P" icon sitting in your system tray now. Also, there might be a big blank white window that comes up with the title "Privoxy".. just click the X and close this window. It's ok to click the X because it just minimizes the window the system tray icon. To open it again, just double click the blue (or green) "P" icon in your system tray.
4. Start up K-Meleon and either go to (Edit > Preferences > Proxy) or (Tools > Preferences > Proxy). You should have "Direct Connection to the Internet" set as your option.
5. Click the "Manual Proxy Settings" radio button and fill in the boxes to the right of HTTP with the following information:
127.0.0.1 (for first box)
8118 (for "port")
6. Your settings should look similar to the following image:
7. Click "OK" and try going to a website you know has lots of banner ads. Engadget often has a few ads.
8. Have fun browsing ad-free!
You can find help on editing the Privoxy filters and actions by visiting the Quickstart Guide to using Privoxy.

FS#675 - Option for fixed Text and Dimension heights ...
Opened by Husky (Husky) - Friday, 31 August 2012, 09:40 GMT+2
I think it would be nice to have the possibility to decide a fixed Text and Dimension (inclusive Arrows) height what is not affected by the Print scale. That means: If I have a given height of 3,5mm it will always be printed with 3,5mm - no matter what the scale for the printing is.
I think you`re right about this and it would certainly solve a lot of issues for people using Imperial units,but is of equal value to 'Metric' users too!
Yes I know that the problem is equal to "Metric User" (I'm both) but it was more "dramatic" locking with the longer numbers It would be nice to get a solution because I hate to work with a cheat sheet, excel or a Pocket calculator although I have a computer ...
agreed :)

Twelfth Night; or What You Will was composed by William Shakespeare in either 1600 or 1601 as the last of his three "mature comedies" (the other two being Much Ado About Nothing and As You Like It). Like his early comedies, The Comedy of Errors or The Taming of the Shrew for instance, Twelfth Night is essentially a celebration of romantic love and can be viewed as a traditional romantic comedy. The play has many of the elements common to Elizabethan romantic comedy, including the devices of mistaken identity, separated twins, and gender-crossing disguise, and its plot revolves around overcoming obstacles to "true" love. And, like other representatives of the genre, Twelfth Night also features a subplot in which a self-inflated "sour" or "blocking" character, the steward Malvolio, is brought to his knees through a trick orchestrated by a ribald if also self-inflated character in the person of Sir Toby Belch.
But unlike his early comedies, Shakespeare also strikes some discordant notes in Twelfth Night, including a conception of love and other themes that are not part of the conventional romantic comedy formula. Thus, for example, the subject of insanity surfaces as a salient theme and as a force within the plot. Indeed, while Twelfth Night concludes with tandem weddings, Shakespeare also speaks about the madness of love.
Synopsis of the Play
This is a play about love, placed in a festive atmosphere in which three couples are brought together happily. It opens with Orsino, the Duke of Illyria, expressing his deep love for the Countess Olivia. Meanwhile, the shipwrecked Viola disguises herself as a man and endeavors to enter the Duke's service. Although she has rejected his suit, the Duke then employs Viola, who takes the name of Cesario, to woo Olivia for him. Ironically, Cesario falls in love with the Duke, and Olivia falls in love with Cesario, who is really Viola disguised.
In the midst of this love triangle are the servants of Olivia's house and her Uncle Toby. The clown provides entertainment for the characters in both houses and speaks irreverently to them. He is the jester of the play. Maria, Olivia's woman, desires to seek revenge on Malvolio, Olivia's steward. To the delight of Sir Toby, Olivia's uncle, and his friend Sir Andrew, Maria comes up with a plot to drop love letters supposedly written by Olivia in Malvolio's path. When she does, they observe him, along with Fabian, another servant, as Malvolio falls for the bait. Believing that Olivia loves him, he makes a fool of himself.
The love plot moves along as Cesario goes to woo Olivia for the Duke. The second time that Cesario appears at Olivia's home Olivia openly declares her love for Cesario. All along, Sir Andrew has been nursing a hope to win Olivia's love. When he plans to give up on her, Sir Toby suggests that Sir Andrew fight with Cesario to impress Olivia. Cesario, however, refuses to fight.
In the meantime, Viola's brother, who is also shipwrecked, makes his way to safe lodging in Illyria with Antonio the sea captain. After the fight between Cesario and Sir Andrew begins, Antonio intervenes to save Cesario, whom he takes for Sebastian. But the Duke's officers promptly arrest Antonio for a past offense. Olivia later comes upon Sir Andrew and Sebastian wrangling at her house. Olivia, thinking Sebastian is Cesario, leads Sebastian to marriage in a nearby chapel.
The complications of identity are unraveled in the fifth act. Cesario finally reveals that he is Viola. Sebastian recognizes her as his sister. The Duke takes Viola up on her love offerings and proposes to her. Olivia assures Malvolio that she did not write the letter that so disturbed him. Sir Toby marries Maria in appreciation for her humiliating scheme.
Estimated Reading Time
You can read through Twelfth Night in about three and a half hours. But, when reading Shakespeare, you should plan to re-read at least one more time. When you read more carefully, paying attention to difficult words and Shakespeare's exquisite use of language, your reading time will necessarily increase. Your more careful reading may take about six hours.
