Anyone who has ever won a high school state championship knows how difficult that process is. It takes months of hard work and you need some luck along the way. Winning one state title would be the highlight of many athletes' playing careers.
That makes what Skowhegan field hockey has done over the last four years so amazing. The Indians have won 76 straight games, which is a new state record, and four consecutive Class A state championships. They are also the 2013 Morning Sentinel Sports Story of the Year.
Of course, Skowhegan has become the Gold (Ball) standard of team sports in Maine, winning 12 of the last 13 state titles. The Indians won this year because they were able to reload at key positions.
In 2012, Skowhegan won the state title and set a state record with 147 goals. But Makaela Michonski and Sarah Finnemore had scored 75 of those goals and both graduated. So Allison Lancaster became the center midfielder and ended up being named Miss Maine Field Hockey. Mikayla Toth was one of the best backs in the state. Rylie Blanchet and Renee Wright led the offense, while Holly Lupo made all-state on defense. The Indians scored 132 goals this season and allowed four.
Skowhegan defeated Messalonskee 1-0 in the Eastern A regional final and advanced to play Scarborough for the state championship. Tori Mullin made a defensive save in the first minute of the game, and when Lancaster and Blanchet scored in the first half, Skowhegan was on its way to a 4-1 victory.
The seniors finished with an unprecedented line for their careers: 483 goals, 18 against. 76 wins, 0 losses.
And four Gold Balls.
2. Mike McGee retires
It wasn't a surprise. Mike McGee let a number of people know a few years ago that the 2012-13 season would be his last on the Lawrence High School boys basketball bench. When McGee's career ended abruptly when Hampden made a desparation heave of a 3-pointer in the Eastern Class A regional final, one of the most successful coaching careers in Maine high school sports history came to an end.
McGee coached 31 years at Lawrence, his high school alma mater. He won 350 games, two state championships — in 1990 and 1994 — and five regional titles.
McGee's teams were known for their hard-nosed, man-to-man defense, and played that way right to the end.
"It was important to me, after 31 years, to go out on my terms, doing it my way," McGee said in a March interview.
3. High school football expands to four classes
After years of discussion and planning, Maine high school football expanded to four classes in 2013, for the first time since 1986.
Although some were wary of the changes, the three Portland schools playing in Eastern Class A, for example, the move was a success. Three of the four state championships were decided by a touchdown or less, and all four were close going into the fourth quarter, the closest round of state title games in years.
To accommodate the fourth class, the University of Maine in Orono was added as a championship site, and hosted the Class B game on Friday night. Classes A, C, and D were played at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland.
Gold balls went to Bonny Eagle (Class A), Cony (Class B), Leavitt (Class C) and Oak Hill (Class D).
4. Bethanie Brown and Matt McClintock set a new standard for local runners
Bethanie Brown competed in both high school (Waterville) and college (Iowa State) races in 2013. Athens native Matt McClintock competed as a sophomore at Purdue University. Both had many Mainers following their accomplishments, and doing so with pride.
As a senior at Waterville, Brown was dominant in both indoor and outdoor track and field. At the indoor state championships in February, she set the Class B record in the mile and the 2-mile, then finished second at the New England meet in the 2-mile. In the spring, she won three individual titles, a relay title and set the Class B state record in the 800. After that, she placed third in the 5,000 and eighth in the 2-mile at the New Balance Nationals.
Brown planned to go to the University of Connecticut, but when UConn coach Andrea Grove-McDonough resigned and took the head job at Iowa State, Brown followed her to the midwest. As a freshman, Brown finished fifth as Iowa State won the Big 12 Cross Country Championship, and took 37th at nationals to earn All-American honors.
McClintock placed 20th in the World Junior Cross Country Championships in March, which was the best finish by an American in four years. He set a goal of winning the Big Ten Cross Country title as a sophomore, and nearly achieved it.
McClintock came in second at the Big Ten meet, just one second behind Wisconsin's Malachy Schrobilgen. At the NCAA championships three weeks later, McClintock came in 37th in a field of 254 runners, becoming Purdue's first All-American in cross country since 1987.
5. Forest Hills boys basketball wins Class D state title
When they arrived back in Jackman after the Class D state championship game, the Forest Hills High School boys basketball team was greeted with fireworks and quite possibly the biggest party the school has ever seen.
That happens when you win the first boys basketball title in school history.
The Tigers defeated Central Aroostook 55-48 in the last Class D state championship game played at the Bangor Auditorium. Forest Hills never trailed in the game, but led just 43-40 when Mr. Basketball semifinalist Evan Worster fouled out with just under four minutes to play. The undermanned and young Tigers rallied without their leader, pulling away for the win.
Sophomore Matt Turner scored 16 points and senior Derick Ouellette added 13. When the game was over, head coach Anthony Amero sprinted across the court to celebrate with the Forest Hills fans.
Forest Hills went 20-2 in 2012-13, and beat rival Valley in the Western D final.
6. Kristy Bernatchez contributes as a freshman at the University of North Carolina
Messalonskee graduate Kristy Bernatchez was named Most Valuable Player of the McNally East-West Senior All-Star Field hockey Game this summer. As a college freshman, she joined the University of North Carolina field hockey team, one of the top programs in the country.
The Tar Heels won their first eight games and were ranked No. 1 in the nation. They finished 18-6 and made the final four of the NCAA tournament, losing to eventual national champion Connecticut in double overtime.
As a true freshman, Bernatchez was a key part of the team. She played in all 24 games and started six. When she didn't start, Bernatchez was often the first player off the bench for North Carolina, finishing the season with five goals and one assist.
7. Waterville sweeps boys and girls outdoor track titles
No one was really surprised that the Waterville girls won the Class B outdoor track title — it was the seventh consecutive state championship for the Purple Panthers, and they had won the indoor title in the winter. But when the Waterville boys edged out Falmouth for the Class B boys title, it became a great day to be a Panther, no matter what the gender.
The Waterville girls finished with 136 points, which was more than the next two teams combined. Bethanie Brown set a Class B record in the 800 and also won the 1,600 and 3,200. Sarah Shoulta took first place in the 100 hurdles, the 300 hurdles and the pole vault, while Kellie Bolduc won the triple jump. Waterville also won the 4×400 relay, with Brown as the anchor.
Nick Danner lifted the Waterville boys with first-place performaces in the javelin and the shot put. Danner's throw in the javelin set a state record. Teammate Jordhan Levine won the triple jump and placed second in both the 110 hurdles and the 300 hurdles, while Devin Burgess was second in the pole vault and first in the long jump. The Waterville boys also won the 4×400 relay, with Burgess serving as the anchor.
8. Nokomis wins Class B field hockey title
Since 2008, Nokomis has been one of the top field hockey programs in the state. The Warriors won the state title in 2010, reached the regional final in 2011, and went to the Eastern B semifinals last year. This season, powered by six spectacular seniors — Kayla Braley, Drew Graves, Kelsey Kerstetter, Taylor Shaw, Kendra Underhill and Lindsay Whitney — Nokomis won its second state title in four years.
Nokomis was unbeaten this season, but that's not to say the Warriors weren't challenged. They won in overtime on the road against Winslow in the regular season, and needed overtime to get by Camden Hills in the Eastern B quarterfinals. It wasn't easy after that, either: Both the regional final against Old Town and the state final against York were 1-0 games.
Graves had the game-winner to beat Old Town, and freshman Olivia Brown put one in to defeat York. That state championship game showed how much of team Nokomis really was. York had freshman Lili Posternak — probably the best player in the state — and super-scorer Taylor Simpson. But Whitney did a marvelous job controlling Posternak, and the Nokomis defense worked together to keep Simpson off the scoreboard. The result was a Gold Ball for the Warriors.
9. Winslow football wins East Class C regional title
After playing two seasons in Western Class C, Winslow was back home in the East in 2013, and was once again one of the top teams in the state.
Winslow rolled through most of the regular season, losing just once, to rival Waterville, on a last-minute touchdown. The Black Raiders gained revenge on the Purple Panthers in the regional final, beating Waterville to advance to the Class C championship game.
Winslow's run ended with a loss to Leavitt at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland in the state final. Top players for Winslow included running back/place kicker Dylan Hapworth, fullback Zach Guptill, tackle Troy Ellis and linebacker/defensive back Justin Martin.
10. Gary Parlin and Frank Knight retire
Two of central Maine's most successful football coaches said goodbye after the 2013 season. Mt. Blue's Gary Parlin and Waterville's Frank Knight each retired after more than 20 years on the sidelines.
Parlin was an innovator in Maine high school football and was one of the first coaches in the state to use the spread offense. The Cougar Gun, as it became known, worked well for Mt. Blue. Quarterback Dustin Ireland won the Fitzpatrick Trophy in 1996. Parlin took the Cougars to two state championship games, winning the Class B title in 2012.
Knight led Waterville to back-to-back Pine Tree Conference Class A titles in 1993 and 1994, and took the Panthers to the regional final in each of his last two seasons. Knight's teams were known for their hard working defense and toughness.
Knight also coached a Fitzpatrick Trophy winner, Mike Hamel, in 1993.
Also in 2013: UMaine-Farmington graduate Steve Clifford gets his first NBA head coaching job, with the Charlotte Bobcats. The Bobcats finished 21-61 last season but are on track for a playoff spot under Clifford. … Local boxer Brandon Berry turns pro, hoping to earn enough money to save his family's store. … Messalonskeee wins the Eastern B boys ice hockey title. … Cassius Clark won the PASS North Super Late Model championship. …. Waterville wins Eastern B girls soccer championship. … Skowhegan and Madison win regional softball titles. … Colby announces the school is dropping its rugby programs. … Many local runners affected by the Boston Marathon bombings … Kevin Fredette fired as Winslow wrestling coach … Lawrence's Nia Irving named Kennbec Valley Athletic Conference Class A North Girls Basketball Player of the Year as a freshman. … Thomas College basketball coaches T.J. Maines and Ted Rioux both resign to take the head coaching jobs at Cony High School. … Taylor Reynolds competes in World Junior 9-Ball Championships. … Madison girls basketball coach Al Veneziano wins his 300th career game. … Mt. Abram girls basketball coach Doug Lisherness retires after 26 seasons.

Coffee May Up Your Risk Of Dying Earlier
Heavy coffee drinkers may think coffee is keeping them alive - maybe not.
Two thirds of us are regular coffee drinkers, and new research from the Mayo Clinic warns that drinking four or more cups a day could increase your risk of dying earlier.
Dr. Carl Levie was the lead researcher in the study.
We showed that higher coffee was associated with higher mortality, but that doesn't mean it was the coffee that caused it.
Dr. Levie says it may be heavy coffee drinkers are stressed out or lack proper sleep.
And remember, most large coffees at the take out place are already two cups worth, so you may be consuming more coffee than you realize.

generic function calculates the offset required to place a pane correctly in a layout.
This function calculates the offset required by the adjust keyword so that the pane pane is placed correctly within the available space in its parent layout. It is called by all of the layouts that inherit from x-y-adjustable-layout to interpret the values of x-adjust and y-adjust .
Typically the value of
will be a keyword or a list of the form
where n is an integer. These values of
are interpreted as by pane-adjusted-position.
However, new methods can accept alternative values for adjust where required and can also add extra keywords. For example, grid-layout allows adjust to be a list of adjust values, and then passes the offset into this list as an additional keyword.

Premier League debutant Eden Hazard played a starring role as Chelsea began their season with a 2-0 victory over Wigan at the DW Stadium.
Both goals came in the first seven minutes, with Hazard setting up full-back Branislav Ivanovic for the opener and then winning a penalty that was converted by Frank Lampard.
Wigan dominated much of the rest of the game and pressed hard for a goal, with Chelsea target Victor Moses, former Blue Franco Di Santo and new striker Arouna Kone all forcing decent saves from Petr Cech, but they could not make the breakthrough.
Hazard was Chelsea's highest-profile signing of the close season and it took the Belgian less than two minutes to show why the Blues splashed out a reported £32million.
He turned another summer signing, Wigan's Ivan Ramis, rather too easily in midfield and played a perfect ball through for the onrushing Ivanovic.
The defender was not in his natural territory but he showed impressive composure to run on and slot the ball past Ali Al Habsi.
Wigan and Ramis' afternoon soon got worse as the former Real Mallorca defender crudely upended Hazard in the penalty area and Lampard tucked away the penalty.
Di Santo had Wigan's clearest opening of the first half in injury time when he was played in by Maynor Figueroa but his first touch allowed Petr Cech to close him down and a combination of the keeper and David Luiz cleared the danger.
For all Wigan's pressure, Chelsea came within millimetres of making it three in the 63rd minute as Fernando Torres, who had been very quiet, finally found some space and his shot beat Al Habsi but Ramis redeemed himself a little by clearing off the line.
Kone, who scored 15 goals in the Primera Division for Levante last season, should really have opened his account in the 84th minute but powered a header wide from Jordi Gomez's corner.

Global warming may be the first environmental crisis to affect all life on earth at the same time, in equally dramatic ways. The Romans apparently raised the level of airborne lead-and subsequently the lead level in soil and waterways-because of the amount of lead smelting they practiced. But before global warming, every earlier environmental crisis had an impact on relatively small groups of creatures or species in relatively small geographic areas. Think Love Canal or Three Mile Island. Think even of DDT or PCBs whose threats are widespread but whose Superfund sites are always relatively concentrated. As ecocatastrophic threats have increased in their ranges, so has our sense of our own links to the areas so affected. Out of an ever warmer world we will increasingly find new ways to recognize our dependence on other species and their dependence on us. We are all getting warmer together. The impact of increased global temperature on microorganisms-bacteria, fungi, and viruses-will be directly related to the impact of those same temperatures on humans.
The lure of ecomorphism, of our desire to describe ourselves and our world in ecological terms, is probably at the root of our culture's current preoccupation with aliens. The possibility of life on other planets-whether fossilized unicellular organisms trapped in rocks on Mars or humanoid "Grays," the alien beings that are encountered by so many insomniacs-is a function of our thinking about the ultimate ecosystem. Since the cosmos is our largest natural home, the rules of physics and of ecological balance must reach far beyond earthly limits. Indeed, science now reports that the apparent "laws" of nature actually alter once we cover great enough distances, travel fast enough, or alter our perspective form a binocular humanized vantage point. Those who worry about these matters now suspect that alien life will turn out to be either an invader from far beyond or the potential source of all life on earth. Some serious thinkers are now speculating about what we might call "cosmic ecology," about life as universal in the literal sense, life throughout the entire universe, terrestrial life itself as fundamentally extraterrestrial. Science fiction will become science fact if and when it turns out that earthly life was transplanted here by spores, or some other source, from outer space. Stay tuned, Trekkies.
Our greatest modern fears can be likewise linked to an ecocentrism born of anxiety. What has been so terrifying to recent generations about "the Bomb"-the atomic A-Bomb and the hydrogen H-Bomb-has been our fear that we might have the capacity to destroy ourselves and all life on earth, except perhaps cockroaches, horseshoe crabs, a few sharks, and the bacteria. But what would life have meant after we had destroyed it? Would the end of things make any difference? In a comparable image, if the planet was to be knocked out of its orbit by an asteroid tonight, what difference would that make beyond the difference it would make to humans? What does our life in nature mean? Finally, consider Steven J. Gould's claim that invisible organisms, such as bacteria and viruses, are actually the most successful of all life forms, since they are far more wide-ranging and extensive, in untold masses stretching miles upon miles toward the deep rocky center of the planet, than the total weight of all the mega-fauna. The total of all the life on our planet that is invisible to the human eye may far surpass the visible biotic mass, from every ant to every blue whale, every slime mold to every sequoia. If Gould is right, and he usually was, life on earth looks more like bacteria than it looks like human beings.
Our own era is not only afraid that aliens or nuclear bombs or bacteria will beat us in the end. We currently fear ecotastrophies of many kinds: ozone holes and global climate change, scourging influenzas and viral pandemics. Most likely of all these fears is a fear that is also a form of optimism: artificial life-not like Frankenstein's monstrous wretch-but rather intelligent computers, A.I. (artificial intelligence) in robots, androgynous androids dreaming of electric sheep. Computers will soon know more than we know. Silicone implants will soon supplant our memories and enhance our sex lives. Scariest of all of these scenarios is the most likely, since it is already underway: genetic manipulation of the heredity of peaches, drosophila, and pigs, not to mention genetic and reproductive manipulation of our mothers and fathers, the eggs and sperm and genes that make you into you and me into me. Nonhuman genes implanted into human fetuses, fecund fertility clinics, sperm banks and amniocentesis: in all such cases we see wild reproductive nature transformed in our bedrooms and bio-labs and cities, yet another version of urbanature.
We can now describe the important details of human biology in terms of our connection to dust mites and deer ticks, maggots and mushrooms, flowering trees and fiddlehead ferns, white-tailed deer and bowhead whales. Unlike those early Romantic naturalists-Erasmus Darwin, William Bartram, Gilbert White-we are now interested not only in the large visible creatures around us, mega-fauna, but in a wide panoply of nonhuman events: the sun-cycle and wind-cycle, the rain and gravity, the laws of thermodynamics, plant reproduction, animal population balance, the food supply, the big picture, the whole environmental enchilada. These wide-ranging concerns point toward another major paradigm shift in our new century, toward a new ethic that is not just about preserving wild spaces and wild places.
The new ethic needs to see skyscrapers, superhighways, jumbo-jets, and genetic research labs as parts of our "new" nature, no less natural because they were crafted by members of the human species. The skyscraper is made of sand (for glass), bauxite (for aluminum), and iron (for steel). The jet burns fossil-fuels or bio-fuels and flies on aerodynamic principles. Natural laws and natural materials allow us to create and to control every skyscraper and every jet, so how are the skyscraper and the jet unnatural? Our new nature will not be the mysterious nature that our ancestors once feared (wolves and thunder and winter) nor will it be the nature that the Romantics taught us to love (nightingales and daffodils and springtime). Out of ecomorphism comes another new idea, urbanature. As I have written elsewhere, urbanature is the essential version of all nature that keeps us closer to each other and closer to organic, as well as inorganic, matter.

Weather on Thanksgiving and Black Friday in Northern Minnesota Could Impact Travel Around the Greater Duluth / Superior Area
While weather for travelers in Northern Minnesota and Northern Wisconsin will be nice on Thanksgiving morning, wintry conditions will be making their way into the Twin Ports region by Thursday night and Friday - making travel a little more difficult for holiday drivers and shoppers.
With temperatures near 50 degrees through the first part of the week and for Thanksgiving Day, a drastic change is on the way as a storm system moves in from the west. The core of this storm has prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Winter Storm Watch for Northwestern Minnesota, effective Thursday afternoon through Thursday night. The NWS is predicting 3-7 inches of snow for the warned area that will be compounded by strong wind gusting up to 45 miles per hour.
Impact on the Twin Ports Region
The storm system will bring some light drizzle later in the day on Thursday, and temperatures will drop in the evening and overnight hours. Drizzle will turn to snow, and wet roadways may get slick as colder air moves in. Snow will continue through the night and into the morning hours of Black Friday. According to a NWS Hazardous Weather Statement, 2-4 inches of snow could be expected in the Twin Ports region, with greater amounts of snow expected near the Canadian border.
As the storm system continues to move through the area, a north wind is expected to bring some lake effect snow to the Twin Ports region, Especially from Duluth and Superior eastward toward Ashland and the Bayfield Peninsula. Breezy conditions and temperatures in the 20s will lead to chilly conditions for Friday.

By Jeff Caplan, NBA.com
VIDEO: Clippers offer silent protest of Sterling before Game 4
DALLAS — In the final seconds of Saturday's thrilling Game 3 between the Mavericks and Spurs, a San Antonio player of Argentine descent rolled off a screen set by a player born in the Virgin Islands, drove the lane and somehow banked in a leaner over a 6-foot-11 Dallas defender who hails from Haiti.
Moments later, Dallas' Spanish point guard inbounded the ball to an African-American teammate from Florida, who miraculously swished a 3-point game-winner from the corner. The first player to embrace him in mutual jubilation was a 7-foot German as the home team's Jewish owner went berserk.
Perhaps no place on Earth is as racially, culturally and ethnically diverse and accepting as on the NBA hardwood and inside NBA locker rooms. Somewhere in Brooklyn, Nets center Jason Collins, the first openly gay athlete in an American pro sports league, who most of us have already forgotten is the first openly gay athlete in an American pro sports league, probably marveled at Vince Carter's game-winner just like everybody else from sea to shining sea.
Saturday was another brilliant day in this first week of intense playoff basketball. As for humanity, it was an embarrassing day. Audio of a racial diatribe, purportedly the voice of 80-year-old Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling surfaced, and the ignorance and intolerance heard incited swift reactions of anger and outrage from the Clippers' Doc Rivers and Chris Paul, as well as from members of every race in and out of the league.
LeBron James is right, there is no place in the NBA for out-of-touch, backward-thinking individuals. On Sunday, Mavs forward Dirk Nowitzki similarly weighed in.
"Disappointing, very disappointing," Nowitzki said. "I'm not sure if a guy like that [should be] allowed to own a team in 2014."
The NBA quickly organized to investigate as new commissioner Adam Silver faces his first full-blown crisis. In a news conference in Memphis on Saturday night where he was attending Game 4 of the Grizzlies-Thunder series, Silver vowed an "extraordinarily" swift and thorough investigation. He was in Oakland on Sunday as the Clippers returned to the court against the Warriors.
The real shame is that Sterling, the longest-tenured owner in the league and whose racial intolerance has been chronicled for decades but never dealt with by the league, chose an insular life within the greater melting pot of Los Angeles and the NBA. He refused to shed obviously deep-rooted ignorance through the unique opportunity the league affords every player, executive, coach and staff member — to interact with and learn from and about people of all races and creeds.
The NBA opened the 2013-14 season with a record-breaking 92 international players from 39 countries and territories. It includes two players from Israel and players from Turkey, where the populace is mostly Muslim. Players hail from Latin America, Asia, every corner of Europe and down under from Australia and New Zealand. And, yes, Africa.
The league has gone to great lengths to expand its global reach. Its Basketball Without Borders program sends players and coaches overseas in every direction each summer to teach the game. As part of its expanding Global Games program, the NBA last fall sent teams to Turkey, China and the Philippines, among other destinations. The world's first NBA Cafe opened Friday in Manila.
Mavs' second-year reserve center Bernard James, an African-American, served six years in the Air Force. He fulfilled three tours that included extended stays in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"The military is as diverse an organization as the NBA is and there's no room for that type of mindset, that old way of thinking," Bernard James said. "I feel like the world, and America especially, has progressed a lot as far as race relations. There's no room for people who think like that and operate like that. It's holding everybody back."
He went on to describe his experience with the Mavs as something of a multicultural classroom.
"I'm pretty close to Sammy [Dalembert], he's a Haitian guy, so I've been learning and understanding about his culture. Here, we have Jose [Calderon] (Spain), we have Gal [Mekel] (Israel), Dirk (Germany), Sammy, all these guys are from different places. Just being around them this much and getting to know them is definitely kind of eye-opening and gives you a closer look at their culture and how their lives have been."
The idea was floated that the Clippers should boycott the postseason as long as Sterling remains on as owner. That is not a solution. It would make the playoffs more about Sterling than the players.
Allow Silver to handle the law and order, to push Sterling, if guilty, deep out of sight and out of mind.
Doc, CP3 and the rest of the Clippers need focus only on playing ball.

Stifel's World Conquering Quest Continues
Stifel Financial for the past decade has seemed to believe in manifest destiny — scooping up middle-market investment banking assets from coast-to-cost.
And its expansionist dreams seem to be growing.
Last November, Stifel agreed to its largest-ever acquisition, grabbing New York's KBW Inc. but didn't even stop long to digest that. By the end of the year it finished buying what it didn't own of the restructuring bank Miller Buckfire and now WSJ has reported on two deals this week its been attempting to make.
It has a plan to buy Knight Capital's bond trading unit, WSJ reported Sunday, and now colleagues are reporting it made an attempt, so-far unsuccessful, to buy struggling M&A boutique Gleacher & Co.
Gleacher's board turned down Stifel and decided to take the bank off the block. Still the offer, as well as Stifel's other recent deals, highlights its decade and a half strategy of acquisitions.
Since Chairman and CEO Ronald Kruszewski joined in 1997, Stifel has made 16 purchases, the first in 1999, according to data provider Dealogic. Across that same time it has seen its headcount grow seven-fold, its revenue by 800% and its profit by 26 times.

What is puberty?
Puberty is the time in life when a young person starts to become sexually mature.
In girls, puberty usually starts around 11 years of age, but it may start as early as 6 or 7 years of age. In boys, puberty begins around 12 years as age, but may start as early as 9 years of age. Puberty is a process that goes on for several years. Most girls are physically mature by about 14 years of age. Boys mature at about 15 or 16.
What are the first signs of puberty in boys and girls?
The first sign of puberty in most girls is breast development. The first sign of puberty in most boys is an increase in the size of the testicles.
Does sexual development have a typical pattern?
Yes. In girls, breasts develop first. Then, hair starts growing in the pubic area. Next, hair starts growing in the armpits. In girls, acne usually starts around 13 years of age. Menstruation (the period) usually happens last.
In boys, the testicles and the penis get bigger first. Then hair grows in the pubic area and the armpits. A small amount of breast tissue might develop at this time. The voice becomes deeper. Muscles grow. Last, acne and facial hair show up.
Does sexual development always follow the same pattern?
No. Some children can have different patterns. Some girls develop breasts at a very young age but have no other signs of sexual development. A few children have pubic and armpit hair long before they show other signs of sexual growth. These changes in pattern usually don't mean the child has a problem, but it's a good idea to visit your doctor to find out for sure.
What is early puberty? What causes it?
Early puberty is sometimes called precocious or premature puberty. In most cases, early puberty is just a variation of normal puberty. In a few cases, there may be a medical reason for early puberty.
You may want to visit your doctor if a young girl develops breasts and pubic hair before 7 or 8 years of age.
You may want to visit your doctor if a young boy has an increase in testicle or penis size before 9 years of age.
What is delayed puberty? What causes it?
Sometimes (but not always) a medical reason causes delayed puberty. For example, malnutrition (not eating enough of the right kinds of food) can cause delayed puberty.
Puberty may be late in girls who have the following signs:
- No development of breast tissue by age 14
- No periods for 5 years or more after the first appearance of breast tissue.
Puberty may be late in boys who have the following signs:
- No testicle development by age 14
- Development of the male organs isn't complete by 5 years after they first start to develop.
Do early and late puberty run in families?
Both early and late puberty can run in families. There can be other causes, too.
How will my doctor know what is causing the change in puberty pattern?
Your doctor will talk to you and your child. Then your child will have a physical exam. The doctor might suspect a cause for the puberty variation and order some tests. Sometimes the cause can't be found even after several tests.
These are some tests your doctor might order for your child:
- Blood tests to check hormone levels
- An X-ray of the wrist to see if bone growth is normal
- A CT or MRI scan (special pictures) of the head to look for a tumor or brain injury
- Chromosome (gene) studies
Are early and late puberty treated?
In most children, no cause is found. It's just a variation of normal puberty. No treatment is needed. In some children, a medical cause is found and treated. For example, if the reason for late puberty is lack of hormones, hormone medication can help.
What can I do to help my child?
The way children see their own body has a lot to do with their self-esteem. It's important to let children know they're OK the way they are and that you love them that way. You can let your child know that he or she is normal (when the tests are normal). You can tell your child that you'll help him or her with any problems (if the tests show a problem). If you need help or if you think your child may need counseling, talk to your family doctor.

By Helen Crisell | 2,391,558 | 656
(Fit Mum Daily) - For the past three months our readers have been going crazy over two internet products that are helping women in Australia and across the world lose weight. This revolutionary system, called by some "The Holy Grail of Weight Loss" has been featured on countless popular TV shows, proven to be safe for ongoing use and best of all - it's totally affordable for anyone.
Waves of celebrities including Cameron Diaz, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lopez, have lost a significant amount of body fat with just these 2 diet cleanses. The combined effect is clinically proven to not just rapidly burn fat off your physique but as importantly, to flush out all the destructive toxins in your body and increase your metabolism, all without harming your immune system.
As we have often reported when researching the latest diet trends, losing weight often feels like an impossible challenge and all too frequently the results are painfully disappointing. However, after an exhaustive research effort including interviewing actual dieters using this exact system, we're more than excited about this breakthrough. Keep reading and you'll find out why we created this special report.
Cameron Diaz revealed on the Dr. Oz Show how she achieved her incredibly toned figure with this secret diet!
The reason why most diets fail, in our opinion, is that they impose unrealistic restrictions on how you live your life. Some advocate eating tons of protein while others emphasize restricting carbohydrates. In either case, you're left with having to make rather drastic changes to the types of food you eat and when you eat it. In this special report, we take an in-depth look at an emerging and promising weight loss trend that we believe is a game changer, that won't require time in the gym or cutting your calories... and best of all it won't break the bank.
You may have heard of the enormously popular Pure Cambogia Ultra in the news. It's a completely organic pumpkin-shaped fruit native to Indonesia - scientifically proven to tear away fat from you body. In studies by renowned health research institution UCLA in Los Angeles - Pure Cambogia Ultra was proven to ignite your metabolism and your body's hidden fat burning capabilities by 318% when taken regularly. However, the problem encountered by many hoping to embrace this miracle dieting system, is that nearly 90% of the imitation Pure Cambogia Ultra products out there are NOT pure. Most fluctuate between the 60-70% purity levels - so we tracked down the original 'Pure Cambogia Ultra' to understand the difference. Pure Cambogia Ultra Formula claimed they delivered 95% pure extract to your body so to put it simply - we were intrigued.
To take our study a step further, we also analyzed and discovered that those taking 'Pure Cambogia Ultra' who experienced the most shocking weight loss results were also the study group that was using the natural detoxifier 'Pure Life Cleanse' as well. Together, testimonials claim the combined usage of these two products led to significant weight loss, more energy and generally a healthier day to-day feeling. If you're skeptical, you're not alone. When we first learned about this weight loss combo, our diet fad radar went off right away.
Nevertheless, as we began to investigate the countless success stories reported by people from all around the globe, we decided that this weight loss trend was worthy of a closer examination. Moreover, we found it of particular interest that these people had not significantly changed their current lifestyles.
Our reader Jennifer from Melbourne was reported to have lost a healthy 13 Kg in just 5 weeks while being on the Pure Cambogia Ultra and Pure Life Cleanse combo diet.
In the story on her blog she states, "I couldn't believe how easy it was. I didn't change my diet or my daily routine, but the fat melted off like it is butter. I love this stuff! Finally a diet that just works."
For the Fit Mum Daily Australia test, it was inevitable that I was to be the guinea pig for this diet since I was about to get married. I wanted to lose 7 kg for my wedding. In order to try the Pure Cambogia Ultra and Pure Life Cleanse diet, I ordered the two products online. Although there are many similar products available, I chose Pure Cambogia Ultra on the basis that it had been clinically tested and approved at GNP Labs in Los Angeles, California - an organization renowned for their strict guidelines on weight management products.
The discounted bottle of Pure Cambogia Ultra was delivered in a few days after ordering and I got free shipping which wasn't previously available. Pure Cambogia Ultra is one of the most concentrated and purest weight loss products on the market.
Pure Cambogia Ultra has been clinically proven to:
- Deliver 4 Times More Weight Loss Than Diet and Exercise Alone
- Boosts Energy
- Be Rich in Antioxidants - Beats Blueberries, and even Gogi Berries!!
- Promote Cardiovascular and Digestive Wellness
Although we were pretty skeptical, we wanted to find out for ourselves if this product could actually do everything that it claimed. Most of the success stories talk about combining Pure Cambogia Ultra with a cleansing product called Pure Life Cleanse to achieve maximum weight loss. The idea behind combining the products is that while the Pure Cambogia Ultra encourages weight loss and increases energy, Pure Life Cleanse helps rid your body of toxins and allows your body to work and burn calories more efficiently for the long term. After further research, we put Pure Life Cleanse to the test.Pure Life Cleanse has been clinically proven to:
- Help Eliminate Extremely Damaging Toxins That Have Built Up Over the Years
- Destroy Harmful Parasites in Your Digestive Tract
- Removes 'Sludge' From the Walls of the Stomach (that prevents Fat Burning!)
- Helps Get Rid of Gas and Bloating
- Helps Regulate Your Metabolism
- Increase Energy, Libido and Alertness
We loved the fact that the Pure Life Cleanse product is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Putting the Pure Cambogia Ultra and Pure Life Cleanse Combo to the Test
Both Pure Cambogia Ultra and Pure Life Cleanse arrived within 4 days of having placed my order online.
My Results - I Dropped 10 Kg In Just 1 Month and Lost 3 Dress Sizes. I Nearly Cried!
Week One:
After one week on the diet using both products I was surprised at the dramatic results. My energy level was up, and I wasn't even hungry. A welcomed side effect of the Pure Cambogia Ultra and Pure Life Cleanse diet is its power to curb the appetite.
I honestly felt fantastic!
Best of all, I didn't even change anything about my daily routine. On Day 7, I got on the scale and couldn't believe my eyes. I had lost 1.5 kg. But I still wasn't convinced, since they say you lose a lot of water weight at the beginning of any diet. I wanted to wait and see the results in the upcoming weeks. But it sure was looking up! I now weighed under 55 kg for the first time in years!
Week Two:
After two weeks of using both supplements, I started the week off with even more energy, and actually sleeping more soundly than before. I was no longer waking up during the night and tossing and turning because my body was actually able to relax (this is a result of getting rid of the toxins, I think). Plus I still managed to lose another 3 kg, putting me at an unbelievable 5 kg of weight loss, in just 2 weeks.
I must admit that I'd starting to believe that this diet is more than just a gimmick.
Week Three:
After 3 weeks, all my doubts and skepticism had absolutely vanished! I am down, 2 full dress sizes after losing another 1.5 kg. And I still have a ton of energy. Quite often, around the third week of other diets, you tend to run out of steam. But with the Pure Cambogia Ultra and Pure Life Cleanse diet my energy levels didn't dip, instead they remain steady throughout the day. I no longer need that cat nap around 3pm in the afternoon! I am even noticing that my stomach is digesting food so much better. No bloating or embarrassing gas after I eat.
Week Four:
After the fourth week, my final results were shocking. I lost an unbelievable 10 kg since starting the Pure Cambogia Ultra and Pure Life Cleanse diet! Actually everyone at Fit Mum Daily Australia is kicking themselves for not having volunteered to be the guinea pig. Using the Pure Cambogia Ultra and Pure Life Cleanse in week 4, I lost an additional kilogram. The results are consistent! But to be honest, I really didn't have much more than that left to lose. I am definitely going to continue taking the Pure Cambogia Ultra afterwards because it has so many antioxidants and vitamins that makes my skin look unbelievable.
I couldn't be any happier with the results.I Lost 10 kg in 4 Weeks, No Special Diet, No Intense Exercise.
In conclusion, if you are a little doubtful about the effects of this diet, you need to try it for yourself; from our own test, the results are real. We at Fit Mum Daily Australia review more than 100 diets each year, and we had our doubts initially, but we were quickly turned into believers. After conducting our own study, we are pleased to see that people really are finding success with the diet.
IMPORTANT: *In clinical testing it was proven that you must use BOTH products in this method to achieve similar results.
Guys, we rarely do these special reports because the reality is that there is just a bunch of rubbish out there claiming to be that next big weight loss breakthrough. But this was just too good to keep away from the public. Try it out and send us your thoughts!

iMore has learned from sources within Apple retail that broken iPhone 5 displays may soon be getting replaced in-store. This would be a change from Apple's current iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 practice, which consisted of swapping the entire iPhone out for a new or refurbished one. Sources within Apple retail have told us that equipment used to remove the screens has started appearing in their stores.
The new unibody design of the iPhone 5 may be what makes it easier for Apple Retail staff to swap out the display. Apple Retail has been replacing shattered screens on the iPhone 3G and 3GS like this for quite some time. Instead of replacing just the glass, the entire front containing the digitizer, glass, and LCD would be removed from an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS and replaced with a new one.
This process wasn't possible with the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S due to the design. While the glass backplate of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S could easily be removed, the front assembly could not -- all of the internal components lay on top of the screen.
Apple Retail does offer some repairs on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S including rear panel replacement, camera replacement, and in some cases vibrator assembly replacement (GSM models only). Basically, any repair that could be done in a minimal amount of time.
There's no word yet on how much the service will cost or whether it'll be tied into AppleCare+. The current pricing is based off paying $99 for the plan and then $50 per incident. Since, with the iPhone 5, the entire iPhone wouldn't have to be replaced anymore, it may bring down the cost for both in and out of warranty repairs.

November 17, 2018, 5:08 pmSeth Curry - G - Trail Blazers
Seth Curry (patellar bruise) will not play on Sunday.
Curry is reportedly day-to-day as his knee injury is mostly a matter of pain tolerance. The Blazers gave rookie Anfernee Simons some minutes outside of garbage time on Friday but fantasy owners should probably stick with Portland's other secondary scorers and playmakers like Nik Stauskas and Evan Turner.

Fantasy News
April 23, 2019, 1:30 amChris Paul - G - Houston Rockets
Chris Paul had a great Game 4 in Monday's 91-107 loss to the Jazz with 23 points on 8-of-19 shooting with eight rebounds, seven assists, five steals, two blocks and two 3-pointers.
Paul had a nice breakaway dunk late in the fourth, showing that he's still got the hops and his defense throughout tonight was also solid. He brought back some of his vintage layup package, but the Rockets as a whole went cold from deep late in the game and couldn't stop Donovan Mitchell's barrage in the fourth quarter.
April 23, 2019, 1:30 amJae Crowder - F - Utah Jazz
Jae Crowder finally had a strong night offensively in Monday's Game 4 with 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting to go with four rebounds, an assist, two steals and three 3-pointers.
Crowder had 18 first half points which would have been the most he's scored in any game this series. He was on fire to start the first period and his energy levels were much higher tonight. The Jazz finally got a strong game out of Crowder on both ends of the floor and he'll have to keep nailing shots for the Jazz to drag out this series.
April 23, 2019, 1:29 amRudy Gobert - C - Utah Jazz
Rudy Gobert logged 24 foul-plagued minutes in Monday's Game 4 and scored four points on 2-of-4 shooting with nine rebounds, two assists, a steal and three blocks.
Gobert was a net-positive whenever he was on the floor tonight and he's getting better at keeping up with Houston's guards on the perimeter. He's blocked several of James Harden's floaters over the past two games and has dominated the paint when he plays, but was limited due to fouls tonight. Derrick Favors (24 minutes, 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting with 11 rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block) more than carried his weight tonight as he kept the Rockets at bay with his suffocating defense inside the paint in the final period of action.
April 23, 2019, 1:24 amClint Capela - C - Houston Rockets
Clint Capela struggled in Monday's Game 4, scoring four points on 1-of-6 shooting with seven rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes.
Capela went 2-for-6 at the line and he was severely limited in tonight's game as he struggled with Utah's physicality. The normal lobs he received from James Harden were much more difficult to control tonight and he had trouble finishing around the rim. We expect him to be much better in the next game.
April 23, 2019, 1:24 amDonovan Mitchell - G - Utah Jazz
Donovan Mitchell carried the Jazz in their 107-91 win over the Rockets in Game 4 on Monday with 31 points on 11-of-26 shooting to go with seven rebounds, four assists, a steal and three 3-pointers.
Mitchell finally got some help from his teammates tonight as they helped carry the team's offensive burden throughout the first three periods. In the final quarter, Mitchell scored the Jazz's first 13 points and ended up with 19 fourth quarter points. He had a dazzling spin move, some deep triples and a freakishly athletic alley-oop dunk all in the span of 12 minutes and has kept the Jazz season alive for at least another game due to his heroic efforts. Although the team as a whole has struggled offensively, Mitchell showed his superstar potential tonight.
April 23, 2019, 1:17 amRicky Rubio - G - Utah Jazz
Ricky Rubio scored 18 points on 6-of-17 shooting while adding 11 assists, three rebounds, a steal, a block and a 3-pointer in Game 4 on Monday.
Rubio played much better defense on Houston's guards tonight but was still unable to stretch the floor with his shooting as he went 1-for-7 from deep. If he can make incremental improvements on his defensive assignment while hitting a couple more triples, the Jazz have a good shot at extending this series.
April 23, 2019, 1:15 amJames Harden - G - Houston Rockets
James Harden scored 30 points on 8-of-19 shooting with three rebounds, four assists, two steals and six 3-pointers in Game 4 on Monday.
Harden is facing one of the toughest defenses in the league so the shots he makes are difficult. The step-back 3s were on full display tonight, but Harden had difficulty penetrating the Jazz defense whenever Rudy Gobert was manning the paint. Although his shooting percentages were high, he committed eight turnovers as the mid-range territory is one of the hardest to navigate. Gobert is predicting his floaters and Clint Capela couldn't grab and finish the usual lob passes which hampered Harden's success tonight. He's slowly figuring out the Jazz defense and if Capela can return to form we can expect his assist numbers to spike.
April 23, 2019, 1:12 amEric Gordon - G - Houston Rockets
Eric Gordon scored 16 points on 5-of-12 shooting with five 3-pointers, a rebound, an assist and a block in Monday's Game 4.
Gordon started off hot and did all the stuff the Rockets expected him to do, but late in the game he was unable to hit timely shots for Houston. He'll get another crack at some open looks due to Utah's defensive scheme.
April 23, 2019, 12:21 amBlake Griffin - F - Detroit Pistons
Blake Griffin may have limped through 28 minutes in Monday night's 127-104 Game 4 loss to the Bucks, but he put up 22 points, five rebounds, six assists and four threes.
Griffin helped keep the Pistons' season alive for almost three quarters on a bad knee before fouling out in the fourth to a standing ovation. He was at significantly less than 100 percent during this series, but it was good to see him lay it all out there as a last-gasp effort for his team. Griffin had a great fantasy season and there should be more of the same as the 30-year-old hopefully returns healthy in 2019-20.
April 23, 2019, 12:10 amReggie Jackson - G - Detroit Pistons
Reggie Jackson scored a team-high 26 points (9-of-20 FGs, 5-of-9 threes, 3-of-3 FTs) with seven dimes, three boards and a steal in Monday's Game 4 loss to the Bucks.
Jackson looked great tonight while keeping the Pistons in front for the majority of the game. However, the Bucks went on a big run in the third and fourth quarters to complete the sweep. Jackson, at age 29, doesn't have a whole lot of upside left, but he's certainly capable of putting together games like this once or twice a month to swing a head-to-head matchup.

Views from Winnemucca Mountain
Orientations in the Winnemucca area seem a little crazy because the town runs from the SSW to the NNE, and because I am in the habit of thinking of it as an east-west-oriented town. Nevertheless, in the first photo we are looking mostly to the southeast toward the north part of the Sonoma Range. Sonoma Peak, at 9396 ft (2864 m), is the highest peak in view. Large meanders of the Humboldt River, with the river running to the south-southwest toward Rye Patch Reservoir (left to right), can be seen in the flats below us.
This view is to the north, with the low hills in the foreground being part of the Krum Hills. That's the Bloody Run Hills and Bloody Run Peak behind the low hills on the right, and the high, snow-capped Santa Rosa Peak in the Santa Rosa Range off in the distance to the far right. The Bloody Run Hills are considered part of the Santa Rosa Range, although they are a somewhat separate tectonic block. Silver State Valley is the flat area off to the left.
The parabolic sand dunes north of Winnemucca cross through a low area between the Krum Hills and the Bloody Run Hills. You can see a bit of this large dune field in the photo, most notably a boomerang shaped portion of the field just below Bloody Run Peak (compare my photo with this air photo from MSRMaps).
A few references:

cool to see the Sonoma Range! I was reading about the Sonoma Orogeny just now, before I got online (in DeCourten's "Broken Land").
Good to hear some news. I'm perusing your highway posts getting ready for my trip in a few weeks. I'm going west through the south part of the state, may head back further north in mid May if I have time to dawdle.

Yeah, there it is! The Sonoma Orogeny. I mostly remember the Slaven Chert, which must be in the upper plate of - maybe it's the Golconda Thrust, will have to read up on it.
Keep in touch about your trip. I'm spending most of my time up here in the Wnmca area, which may be out of your way, but depending on what days off I have and whether I'm still busy moving, could possibly meet somewhere.

For a demo cluster or fooling around, at $200-250/each (4GB RAM, 80GB disk, etc.) this kind of thing seems pretty attractive. Makes the under $2K non-trivial cluster doable.

You mean a superlinear speedup of some sort or other? Usually when distributing the code causes the program to cross some important cache threshold, e.g. code that swaps on a single CPU not swapping when split up, code that is highly nonlocal and running out of memory remaining nonlocal but running strictly out of cache when split up, all while keeping other bottlenecks (e.g. IPC's) under control. I don't know if there is any rule, but look for widely separated latency or bandwidth thresholds that come into play when the code is split. rgb > > Simon > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > -- Robert G.

Bill Haber/Associated Press
1. Colin Kaepernick, QB, San Francisco 49ers (91.4 percent):
Remember how much I liked Tim Tebow last season? Well, I like Kaepernick even more. Not only does he have a great arm, but the Nevada product can also make plays (and score fantasy points) with his feet as well. Mark my words ... Kaepernick will help lead a lot of fantasy leaguers to a postseason berth.
Ed Zurga/Associated Press
2. Knowshon Moreno, RB, Denver Broncos (98.7 percent):
Coach John Fox pulled his own form of Shanahanigans in Week 12, as Moreno (not Ronnie Hillman) started and saw most of the backfield touches. He rushed for 85 yards on 20 carries and posted four catches for 26 yards in a win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Moreno now needs to be added in most fantasy leagues.
Stephen Morton/Associated Press
3. Cecil Shorts, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (74.2 percent):
Shorts has been on fire in recent weeks, scoring 14-plus fantasy points in three straight games. He's gone over 100 yards in two of those contests and has scored one touchdown per contest. With nice matchups against the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins upcoming, Shorts now needs to be owned in all formats.
Phelan M. Ebenhack/Associated Press
4. Justin Blackmon, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (36.0 percent):
Blackmon looked like a complete fantasy bust for all intents and purposes, at least until Chad Henne took over the reins of the offense. Since then, the Oklahoma State product has put up a ridiculous 298 yards and two touchdowns in his last two games. Blackmon could be a real asset in the fantasy playoffs.
Matt Strasen/Associated Press
5. Pierre Garcon, WR, Washington Redskins (34.1 percent):
Garcon put up a solid stat line on Thanksgiving with 93 yards, one touchdown and 15.30 fantasy points. More important, he looked to be closer to 100 percent recovered from a nagging foot ailment. If he's been dropped in your league after an extended absence, now is the right time to target Garcon.
Ross D. Franklin/Associated Press
6. Beanie Wells, RB, Arizona Cardinals (47.5 percent):
Wells returned to action with a bang, scoring a pair of touchdowns in his first game since Week 3. While he does face some tough opponents down the stretch, Wells remains a viable flex option in some leagues because of his nose for the end zone. He's scored a combined 12 touchdowns in his last 18 contests.
Darron Cummings/Associated Press
7. T.Y. Hilton, Indianapolis Colts (87.0 percent):
Hilton has been an absolute touchdown machine, finding the end zone five times in his last four games (including a punt return for a score against the Buffalo Bills). With attractive matchups against the Lions and Tennessee Titans coming up next, the rookie is clearly well worth a look in most fantasy formats.
Paul Sancya/Associated Press
8. Ryan Broyles, WR, Detroit Lions (93.4 percent):
With Nate Burleson done for the season and Titus Young in the doghouse, Broyles now has fantasy appeal in some leagues. He put up a great stat line against the Houston Texans with six catches, 126 yards and 12.6 fantasy points. This week's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts is another reason to add the rookie.
Bill Kostroun/Associated Press
9. Julian Edelman, WR, New England Patriots (91.3 percent):
Edelman was seeing more time in two wide-receiver sets in Week 11, and now he's more involved in the offense with Rob Gronkowski lost for several weeks. That was evident against the Lions, as he posted 64 yards and scored one offensive touchdown. As long as he's healthy, Edelman is well worth a look right now.
Frank Victores/US Presswire / Frank Victores-US PRESSWIRE
10. Mohamed Sanu, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (82.8 percent):
Fantasy owners in deeper leagues who need a wideout should consider Sanu, who has quietly been putting up some nice fantasy totals in recent weeks. He's scored at least one touchdown in each of his last three games, including two in a win over the Oakland Raiders, and is averaging double digits in that time.

I started to develop chest tightness and wheezing out of the blue in the middle of running with one of my neighbors last spring. I figured that I was out of shape from my pregnancy and the strange sensation slowly resolved as I walked. But then it came back again and again, each time a little bit worse, and sometimes with chest pain. I had a chest CT to evaluate for a pulmonary embolism, since I was at risk due to being postpartum, and it was normal. My chest x-ray was normal too. My heart tests, including an EKG and Echocardiogram, were unremarkable.
One night at work I had to go to the ED because I was having so much difficulty with breathing. I was diagnosed with possible asthma, given albuterol, and sent home with a prescription for a course of oral steroids. Despite the treatment, over the course of the next few weeks my breathing declined. I went from being able to run a 10K to getting winded and short of breath walking across a Target store. I wracked my brain trying to figure out why asthma would just "pop up" suddenly when I was in my mid-thirties….
I had pulmonary function tests and a methacholine challenge, to look for exercise-induced asthma, about 6 weeks after my symptoms first started, and everything was normal (I did not have asthma).
I began to notice that my chest tightness/wheezing would occur shortly after eating. Around this time I was back to work and eating a lot of Apple Cinnamon Chex and KIND bars for both snacks and meal replacements. I began to keep a food journal and discovered that all the the following foods were triggers for my symptoms: Apple Cinnamon Chex, raisins, wine, Juices, KIND bars, eggs, certain bottled waters, balsamic vinegar, shrimp, and anything that contained molasses as an ingredient. I looked at a box of Apple Cinnamon Chex over and over until I saw the words "contains sodium sulfite." I did a web search for foods that contain sulfites, and I found that ALL of my trigger foods were on the list. I discovered that I had a sulfite intolerance, which is also called a "sulfite allergy."
FAQ about about sulfites:
What are sulfites?
Sulfites are sulphur-based compounds which are added to foods and supplements as a preservative and/or flavor enhancer. They may also occur naturally. Sulfite sensitive individuals need to avoid all of the following:
- sulfur dioxide
- sulfurous acid
- sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfate and sodium metabisulfate
- potassium sulfite, potassium bisulfite and postassium metabisulfite
What foods contain sulfites?
- Baked goods
- Beverages (including beer, wine, hard cider, fruit juice, vegetable juice, and tea)
- Bottled lemon and lime juice (concentrates)
- Condiments
- Cornstarch

The most comprehensive list and forum to check out regarding sulfites is the website: www.holdthesulfites.com.
Sulfites can be present in medications. A lot of generic acetaminophen tablets and other OTC meds contain sodium metabisulfite. Cornstarch, which is sulfited during processing, is a filler in a lot of pills, and depending on the degree of one's sulfite sensitivity, may trigger a reaction.
Why do people develop a sulfite intolerance?
We do not know. Most of the scientific papers about sulfite allergies are case reports which were published back in the 1980s (most are in French). Some theories I have come across on the internet regarding why a sulfite intolerance develops include that sufferers may have a partial sulfite oxidase deficiency (a full deficiency is fatal, so perhaps we are "carriers" of the gene and express some symptoms), or that symptoms are due to a deficiency of molybdenum, which is a mineral cofactor in the breakdown of sulfites. Other lines of thought are that the intolerance is related to an environmental exposure of some sort and/or is immune-related (a non-IgE mediated food allergy). In my interactions with others with this problem it seems like a lot of us have either Celiac Disease or gluten sensitivity. But, this is all anecdotal, as there is no research out there (and as far as I know, no one doing any research into the problem of sulfite issues).
How is a sulfite intolerance treated?
The most important thing is the obvious: avoid sulfites! However, this is easier said than done! The only mandatory labeling is for foods and drinks with a lot of sulfites added in, such as wine, beer, and hard cider. Other foods which contain sulfites, such as dried fruits and KIND bars, do not have mandatory labeling. I have been unable to find any GF, sulfite free beers or hard ciders. The main sulfite free wine makers are Frey and Orleans Hill. I am partial to the Orleans Hill's Zinfandel, Syrah, and Cabernet, and am slowly getting used to bringing my own bottle with me when I socialize. Many people report a lessening of symptoms while taking Molybdenum. I tried Molybdenum, and, unfortunately, and it did not help me. Other supplements which I have seen recommended include Vitamin B12, Magnesium, and Probiotics. It also never hurts to have an Epipen (or 2) around, just in case of a severe reaction. Ironically, though, Epipens do contain sulfites as preservatives!
How are sulfites metabolized?

Update January 2014: Since writing this post last spring I discovered that my sulfite intolerance is the result of an immune system disorder called mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and I have since started on a treatment regimen. Please see my recent post on MCAS for more details. Thank you.
