The Best Tool for the Job.
There are plenty of hard workers in the ATV world, and Honda's lineup stands at the top. But there's one ATV that shines a little brighter, works a little longer, and tackles the toughest jobs or adventures day in and day out. And that's the Honda FourTrax Foreman.
The Foreman has long been Honda's real workhorse, and plenty of riders find it the perfect size for both work and fun. It's strong, rugged, famously reliable. Plus, its superior Honda engineering means you get more performance out of this ATV than some of the competition's bigger and heavier models.
The soul of this go to tool is its proven fuel injected 500-class engine that delivers plenty of power and fuel efficiency. The strong, refined chassis offers a long suspension stroke for a smooth and nimble ride that's perfect for rough terrain. The Foreman's driveline works hard for you by maximizing front-end power transfer and traction. And finally, all of these features are wrapped up in some tough, aggressively styled bodywork and great color choices for 2019.
Important Safety Information: Recommended for riders 16 years of age and older. Honda recommends that all ATV riders take a training course and read their owner's manual thoroughly.
Traction To Get You There: The Honda Foreman features a front differential with traction to spare. TraxLok lets you switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive with the push of a button. Need even more traction? Completely lock the front differential and drive full power to all four wheels. This comes in real handy when you're in rocky, swampy or uneven terrain.
Even Its Style Has a Job.: Sure the Foreman looks great. But its bodywork does more than just look good. It's designed to last and protect you from mud and other debris. After that, its job is to keep looking good as long as you own it.
Easy-to-use Reverse Lever.: The Foreman sports a reverse lever that's designed to be rugged, simple, intuitive and easy to use. Getting out of a tight spot on the trail or backing up to load or unload your Foreman is a breeze.
Takes a Beating, So You Don't Have To: Our Foreman 4x4 models with swingarm rear suspension give you a solid, locked rear axle design so it's strong with less body squat when towing. Add the Foreman's comfortable saddle and superior ergonomics, and you can feel good all-day tackling your favorite trails or your toughest chores.
- Styling: Our Foreman models' bodywork gives these ATVs a tough look. But it does more than just look good: it's designed to last, shrugging off the scrapes and dings of the job or the woods. It also helps protect you from mud and other debris.
- Liquid Cooling: Our time-tested Honda engine is liquid-cooled to provide more consistent operating temperatures and more power than a comparable air-cooled engine. This adds up to better performance and longer engine life.
- Electric Power Steering: Both speed- and torque-sensitive, Honda's Electric Power Steering (EPS) excels at reducing steering effort and kickback through the handlebar. It's a big help when riding in ruts, over rocks or on long side hills. A specially engineered mounting system for the EPS unit increases strength and rigidity.
- TraxLok: Our rock-solid TraxLok system lets you select either 2WD or 4WD, giving you the freedom to choose between lighter steering (in 2WD) and maximizing available traction (in 4WD) when you need it most.
- Electronic Differential Lock: When you're in 4WD mode and you need to get the power to both front wheels, just flip the switch on our electronic differential lock to maximize available traction. The vehicle display will tell you when the diff lock is fully engaged.
- Electric Shift Program (ESP): Upshifting and downshifting has never been this easy: With Honda's optional ESP system, you get the ease of an automatic with the strength of a conventional transmission. To shift up or down all you have to do is push one of two handlebar-mounted buttons. Since there's no foot-shift lever, ESP is also a bonus when riding in heavy or mud/snow-covered boots.
- Semi-Dry-Sump Engine Design: Compact and light-weight, the Foreman's overhead-valve, semi-dry-sump design creates an engine that's not only shorter from top to bottom, but one that enhances handling by lowering the center of gravity and increasing ground clearance.
- Longitudinal Engine Layout: By orienting the engine crankshaft front to back, we route the flow of power straight to the wheels without any unnecessary right-angle detours, reducing powertrain friction and putting more grunt to the ground.
- Fuel Injection: By incorporating an oxygen sensor into the system, the Foreman delivers both better fuel efficiency and lower emissions. The ECU instantly adjusts the fuel injection mapping to match riding conditions for maximum fuel efficiency. The result: more time on the trail and more money in your pocket.
- Comfortable Seat: A plush seat and open rider triangle (bars/seat/pegs) teams up with the suspension to really treat you right. Superior ergonomics have always been a Honda priority, and the Foreman is no exception. With thick, soft foam, it's supremely comfortable.
- Swingarm Suspension: The Foreman's 4x4 rear swingarm with its solid axle provides superior capability for towing and hauling. Its long suspension stroke and plush seat let you tackle your favorite trail or the toughest chores in comfort all day long.
- 35W Headlights: Your exploring or work doesn't have to stop when the sun goes down. Powerful twin headlights offer excellent illumination for the task at hand.
- Powerful ACG Output: An alternator offering extra output means the Foreman is capable of handling more of your accessory power needs.
- Digital Meter: In addition to the basics, the Foreman's instrument panel offers extra information: a clock, water temperature gauge, our "maintenance minder" system and indicator for the electronic differential lock.
- Easy Service Access: The Foreman's body styling is not only aggressive, it's functional. It features a tank and side covers that come off in one piece and without using any tools. That means quick and easy access to the engine.
- Superior Carrier Capacity: With strong, steel carriers front and rear, and with both offering increased capacity than earlier models, the Foreman is ready to carry what you need.
- Independent Assist Light: The 45-watt assist light runs independently of the headlights so you can turn it on when you need it, and turn it off when you don't.
- Easy-to-Use Reverse Lever: Need to get out of a tight spot? The Foreman sports a special reverse lever mechanism that's designed to be simple to use. Its intuitive design makes it quick and easy to operate.

Are the Rays Ready For the Fan Base Evolution?
What defines if a Major League Baseball team has a true fan base? Is it the amount of people flocking into the ballpark for a home series clutching cowbells and noisemakers, or is it the visual show of support at "Watch Parties" even as the team battles 3,000 miles away on a given late night.
Does the simple fact of wearing your MLB club's colors or even marking your car with a Rays specialty license plate make you a intricate part of the Tampa Bay Rays fan base? That simple term "fan base" can literally be thrown in so many different positions, used in so many cloaked vernaculars, and still you could come up short with the precise connotation of what this unit should entail.
The Rays are in a particularly sensitive juncture in their team's history as the 14-year faithful of this team, who at one time possibly anointed another team their own, begin to finally mesh with the youth that are beginning of coming of age by purchasing their own tickets and merchandise.
The Rays are about to hit that ebb and flow tidal pool of the stark reality that those fans who have gotten those FREE giveaways on Sundays as teens or younger, are about to become their primary consumers. Other teams have hit this sensitive juncture in their team's history and their solid foundation within their fan base is a testament to the next generation taking the reigns and guiding the team's future.
It usually takes around 20-25 MLB seasons for a team, like the Rays to get a solidified fan base built from their fans growing up within the "Rays Way" from the cradle. This youth segment of fans grew up with all things "Rays" around their environment and are about to transcend from being the "guests" of their parents, to purchasing Rays game tickets and plans for themselves.
When that moment happens, that simple ticket purchase will signal the second and most important phase of the Rays fan base expanding towards its next level. This is not meant as a deterrent or even an insult to fans like myself who are " long in the tooth" and have slaved and died a little at times following this team during the lean years.
The reality is most of us who have established this first generational Rays fan base have a prior MLB team loyalty way before the name Devil Rays was first selected. For myself it was the Baltimore Orioles and St. Louis Cardinals who used to train here every Spring. I would be a constant member of the "Knothole Gang" at games, or at the many MLB training complexes that dotted the St. Petersburg area.
Then when the Tampa Baseball group formed and systematically began their "Eenie, Meenie, Miney-Moe" process of finding an occupant for the vacant stadium nestled in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, I shed those teams colors for my home team. And even as this group saw their ownership aspirations spurned by Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland and even the South-side of Chicago, my loyalties began to deepen for this eventual MLB staple that will reside in my home town.
I am what you call a converted fan base member. There were no Rays team for me to live and breathe about as a kid. Back then MLB ball packed up during the last week of March and shipped out up North or West, and never saw the Florida sunshine until the next Spring. There were no Rays uniforms in my Little League.
The aspect of a team playing MLB-style ball during an real MLB season in my neck of the wood was pure fantasy. I had to travel almost all day to Atlanta if I wanted to shag a real MLB ball or see the major leaguers at work. I am one of those fans who had a hankering and knowledge of the game before Rays starter Winston Abreu even threw the first pitch in franchise history. That is what makes this early Rays fan base so unique.
There are former team loyalists from Boston, New York, St. Louis and even Cleveland that have embraced and changed their allegiance towards the Rays flag over these last 14 years. That makes the Rays fan base a more flexible gathering, with some prone to quick exits stage right when things get bad, possibly reverting to their long time family MLB ties.
I have had more than a dozen vocal altercations with long term followers of the Red Sox, Yankees and even Indians that our Rays fan base is in its baby-steps mode. That we have less than 15 years active visual and vocal acknowledgment of our team's existence.
Their squads have long established and sometimes storied histories and family lineages in some cases, 3 generations back to cement their MLB loyalties. That is why the present youth of this Rays Republic will be this team's first homegrown generation. The young fans in the Rays stands right now will be the first born and bred supporters and the next in the Rays fan evolution to further solidify the Rays fan base backbone.
This younger segment could eventually decide the Rays future here in Tampa Bay, not the mouthy posturing politicians. The Rays franchise is about to embark into uncharted waters, possibly with a few storm henceforth before eventually coming out into the sunshine.
Fans like myself will always be here in some form or another, but the Rays management would be wise to nurture and help this next level of Rays fans mature, or be doomed by mis-aligning their priorities.
More and more I am seeing the excitement in the faces of young fans at Rays games as they fight for Batting Practice balls, get autographs, and cherish the trinkets and giveaways the team provides to them. Soon it will be their turn to give back to the Rays…..Hopefully they are ready, willing and able to add another chapter, another generation to the Rays unfolding MLB tradition.

Welcome to California!…
The Yankees are in town and I'm writing this blog…
Yes, I am missing out on the first game of the Yankees series in Oakland against the A's. Well, I don't exactly live in Oakland but I am only a BART trip away. I will be at the game tomorrow night when Phil Hughes pitches. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate. This morning started out with nothing but rain. It didn't look promising, but it has been clear most of the afternoon so we'll soon find out if Javier Vazquez has finally brought his A game with him. Good luck to Javy and company as the Yanks look to get the West Coast road trip started on a positive note.
Don't look now but who was that? Like a blur, and despite the Yankees fourth series win in four tries, the team now finds themselves chasing the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East Standings. The Rays beat Boston to complete a four game sweep on Monday, which put the idle Yankees ½ game back. Tampa definitely has the pitching to sustain their perch, so this is going to be a dogfight throughout the summer. I am sure that, sooner or later, the Boston Red Sox will decide to join the party too.
Michael Dwyer/AP
Prior to tonight's game, former Yankees and current A's Chad Gaudin and Edwar Ramirez received their World Series rings. I had definitely hoped that the Yankees could have found a way to keep Gaudin, but I am sure that he's glad to be back with a club where he can grow his standard goatee or whatever you call that growth on his chin.
So, the Yankees have a detour on their way to Baltimore following the conclusion of the weekend series in Anaheim. They are scheduled to stop by the White House on Monday to see President Barack Obama on a scheduled off day. The next day, they'll begin a series against the young and talented Baltimore Orioles. It should be an exciting time for the World Champions. Hopefully, they will have just finished a successful California adventure!
I am not sure what I think about the schedule for this year's NFL Draft. In years past, it was always fun to get up early Saturday morning and watch the first 10 picks. The rest of the day, I'd listen to the draft on the car radio or other medium. On Sunday, I'd usually check in to see some of the later names selected. This year will be very strange with the first round being held Thursday night. Since it starts while I am still at work, I probably won't get home until around the 5th or 6th selection. Rounds 2 and 3 are Friday night, and the draft concludes on Saturday. I will hold judgment until after the draft, but I am a bit skeptical. We'll see.
My team, the Minnesota Vikings, will open the NFL Season on Thursday, September 9th against the New Orleans Saints in a rematch of the NFC Championship Game. Hey Brett (assuming you return), run, don't throw!
Mark Humphrey/AP
It was sad to hear the passing of the Colorado Rockies president Keli McGregor. He was found dead in a hotel room in Salt Lake City, Utah. Initial speculation is that the death was the result of natural causes. At 48 years of age, this is quite unexpected. My thoughts and prayers go out to Keli's wife, Lori, and their four children.

Somewhere online, I saw this book about desserts in jars. I sort of giggled at the idea that such a specific concept of "desserts in jars" could fill an entire book. But, once I thought about it, I decided it wasn't such a bad idea. I haven't yet flipped through Shaina's book but it did inspire me to build these banana pudding parfaits in jars. They kept well in the refrigerator and would be perfect for picnics or meals on-the-go.
Old fashioned banana pudding has always been a favorite of mine. I like it best the next day when the pudding has made the cookies just soggy enough but the bananas haven't broken down to mush. Since I am a vanilla pudding/custard addict, I prefer traditional, old fashioned vanilla pudding without flavorings or liqueurs adding banana flavor into the pudding. I let the fresh bananas do all the work. And, though I like whipped cream, I didn't include it in this batch. A little, freshly whipped cream cloud on top wouldn't hurt.
Usually, Nilla wafers are used in banana pudding recipes. I experienced a happy accident when I couldn't find them at my local store. Instead, I bought a box of Lorna Doones. The buttery, shortbread cookies were a welcome substitute and will be my first choice in the future. If you have leftover Girl Scout shortbread cookies, this might be a nice place for them to find a final resting place. If you really want to impress, make your own homemade shortbread cookies!
When our last jar of this banana pudding was left, our four-person family eagerly crowded around to share. Fighting almost ensued as little eyes determined whether or not each bite was of equal size. Though the elements are simple, this is one of my all-time favorite desserts. So comforting. Unctuous, rich homemade pudding layered with buttery cookies and fresh bananas. What's not to love?
Banana pudding parfaits
Makes 6 servings
2 1/2 cups whole milk, divided
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 fresh bananas cut into 1/8 inch slices
18 small shortbread cookies (I used Lorna Doones)
whipped cream (optional)
To make the pudding:
Put 2 cups of the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. In another bowl, combine cornstarch, sugar and salt with a whisk. Add the additional 1/2 cup cold milk and whisk to combine. Whisk in egg yolks until smooth.
When milk is hot but not boiling, slowly add a half cup of the warm milk into the cold mixture, whisking constantly. Then, slowly add the mixture into the pan of hot milk, whisking constantly. Continue to stir and heat until you see the first bubbles. Turn down to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for another one-two minutes until pudding begins to thicken.
Pour the pudding into a bowl. Stir in butter and vanilla extract. To avoid a pudding skin on the top, you can place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding. Cool the pudding in the refrigerator until ready to assemble. Whisk the pudding again before serving.
To assemble banana pudding parfaits:
Put a few spoonfulls of pudding at the bottom of each jar or serving cup. Spread a few banana slices on the pudding and crumble a cookie over the top. Add a few more spoons of pudding. Add banana and a cookie. Spread the final amount of pudding over the top and place a whole cookie on top.
If you are using whipped cream, add it between the layers of pudding.

如果你能看懂简单的英文(借助翻译工具也行),使用 罗塞塔代码说不定能带给你意想不到的惊喜。

RosettaCode vs Stack Overflow
Stack Overflow is a great site. every time when a search on a problem takes me there i look forward to the helpful and insightful answers. in ways, posting a question on Stack Overflow is similar to creating a task on RosettaCode.
on Stack Overflow a problem gets posted in form of a question, and people attempt to solve the problem by answering it. question and answers can be discussed and updated. once the poster of the question is satisfied, an answer may be chosen as being accepted.
on RosettaCode a problem gets posted in form of a Draft Task and people attempt to solve the problem by creating an implementation in their favorite language. Task and implementations may be discussed and revised until a consensus is found. once discussion stabilizes and people focus on implementing, the task may be promoted from Draft Task to Task status
the key difference is that the questions and answers on Stack Overflow can be of various qualities. there are lots of duplicates, and not always are the answers useful. on RosettaCode on the other hand the poster is motivated to solve the Task her or himself. also the goal of all Tasks is to produce a usable implementation, and the discussion does not end when an answer is accepted by the poster but it continues until a consensus for an acceptable task definition is found. and then after that the Task stays active as long as new solutions in different languages get added. also RosettaCode gets referenced frequently in Stack Overflow discussions
on RosettaCode people are not motivated to answer by getting points but because the answer helps shape the Task and thus ultimately the quality of the whole site. they take ownership of the task by providing their implementation. they don't want to help a fellow with a question but produce something of lasting benefit for all future visitors of the site.
as Stack Overflow grows, it will be harder and harder to sift through all the questions to find the right answer, whereas the growth of RosettaCode will lead to a library of problems and solutions where one can find practical code examples that have a clear relationship to the question (the Task) with several complete implementations that allow for analysis and comparison.
when i have a problem to solve i try to see if it is generic and interesting enough for RosettaCode. then i formulate a Task, and make an attempt at solving it myself. the discussion often helps me to identify problems that i had not foreseen, edge cases, and different approaches. every new task includes a lot of learning and goes beyond just solving the immediate problem.
i don't know if the creator of RosettaCode had this kind of use in mind, but i hope he can see the value of this approach. and it is not only new Tasks that get created this way, but also solutions to existing Tasks too. just in the past week i found three Tasks that were directly applicable to problems i am currently solving. and one of the Tasks motivated me to produce a generic solution to a problem that i had solved in an adhoc manner before.
by using RosettaCode i am not just solving problems for myself, but i help generate solutions that are useful for other people too.

Karl-Anthony Towns put together a complete game on Tuesday, finishing with 25 points (8-of-17 from the field, 8-of-9 from the line), 14 boards, one assist, one steal, two blocks and one three in a 93-100 loss to the Spurs.
The game was closer than the score indicates as it was inflated by late free throws. KAT was phenomenal in this one as he did everything to keep his team in the game. He remains the only center in the top-10 for 9-cat on the season. Andrew Wiggins also had a huge performance with 22 points, four boards, four assists, one steal and a few big buckets late to keep it close.

September 22, 2019, 8:41 pmKevin DurantSF, Brooklyn Nets
There is some optimism in league circles about Kevin Durant's chances of playing this season, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post.
Looking back on Durant's decision to return during the Finals, the Nets may want to exude caution when considering KD's return to action (Achilles). However, Durant is pursuing his rehab with a sense of purpose, and it would be great to see him get back on the court this season. We'll keep you posted when a real timeline on Durant's rehab emerges. This news does not make him a target on draft day for standard leagues.

September 22, 2019, 10:40 amLarry Nance Jr.PF, Cleveland Cavaliers
Larry Nance Jr. is the presumed favorite to start at PF heading into training camp according to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com.
Fedor went on to speculate that Nance Jr. could see a lot of time at the four while Kevin Love starts at center and Tristan Thompson and John Henson compete for back up minutes behind those two. Any uptick in playing time would be a huge boost to the per-minute dynamo that Nance Jr is, and a starting role with a new coaching staff bodes well for that. He's trending in the right direction.

September 21, 2019, 9:45 pmKevin KnoxSF, New York Knicks
Coach Fizdale told the Knicks players that no starters have been determined and players had to earn their minutes.
Kevin Knox will battle with veteran Marcus Morris for the starting small forward spot. Knox has been working on getting his body stronger to be able to take on more contact on drives to the basket. Last season as a rookie, he averaged 12.8 points on a putrid 37 percent from the field. Knox will look to get more looks closer to the basket and increase his field goal percentage to more respectable levels. Knox provided little else outside of points and rebounds last season and will need to improve his shooting and defense to be considered a standard-league player.

September 21, 2019, 5:13 pmBol BolC, Denver Nuggets
According to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic, Bol Bol could spend his entire rookie season in the G-League.
Bol Bol was not drafted to be an immediate impact player, but just fell too late fore the Nuggets liking. The 44th overall pick needs to bulk up and show that he could take the bumps and bruises before having his chance on the big stage.

September 21, 2019, 9:21 amKawhi LeonardSF, Los Angeles Clippers
After speaking with Doc Rivers and Lawrence Frank, Dan Woike's takeaway is that Kawhi Leonard's "load management" will not be as strict as it was last year.
It was reported in July that Kawhi said he wants to play all next season fully and approach load management on a game-to-game basis so this is further confirmation that he will most likely play more than the 60 games he played last year but surely won't play all 82 either. Kurt Helin of NBC Sports speculates that this could be for several reasons. One could be that Leonard can take on more now that he is a little healthier while he believes the Clippers might also limit his per-game minutes to help him play more games. The other idea is that because the Western Conference is so deep, the Clippers will not be able to get a good seed if Leonard sits too many games. Fantasy wise, Leonard finished last season seventh in per game value but 18th in total value since he played only 60 games. Near the top of the second round would be a great place to snag him if he plays around 70 games this season.

September 21, 2019, 8:31 amMalik BeasleySG, Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets want to extend Malik Beasley and Juan Hernagomez before the October 21 deadline.
The Nuggets already locked up one of their 2016 first-round picks (Jamal Murray) to a long-term deal and now want to do the same with their other two 2016 first-round picks, Hernangomez and Beasley. If not, the two will likely become restricted free-agents at the end of the season. Both players saw stretches of big minutes last season due to injuries but at full health, Beasley was around 20 minutes per game while Hernangomez was at around 10. Fantasy wise, neither player puts up big defensive stats but Beasley is a very efficient shooter with low turnovers, knocking down 2.0 triples per game last year, putting him near top-150 value at only 23.2 minutes per game. Hernangomez is a decent rebounder and knocked down 0.9 triples per game but he would need closer to 30 minutes per game to be a factor in standard leagues.

September 20, 2019, 8:49 pmOG AnunobySF, Toronto Raptors
Coach Nick Nurse intends to put OG Anunoby "back out there in a primary role."
With Kawhi Leonard vacating the starting small forward spot, Anunoby is the leading candidate to take the role. Before the arrival of Leonard, Anunoby started 62 games in his rookie season. Last season he started 6 out of 67 games, and missed the entire playoffs due to an emergency appendectomy. He averaged 7.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks over 20.2 minutes per game, while shooting 45.3 percent from the floor, 33.2 percent from 3-point range and 58.1 percent from the free-throw line. He can be picked up as a late round flier in drafts.

September 20, 2019, 4:03 pmDaryl MaconPG, Miami Heat
The Heat have signed Daryl Macon.
Macon getting picked up by another NBA squad after a solid Summer League campaign is not a shocker. If he were to crack the rotation he would post a nice assist rate, but it is unlikely Macon will be getting playing time unless something goes terribly wrong for the Heat this season.

The Hawks signed Tahjere McCall from their Summer League team.
This is just a depth signing for the Hawks. He shouldn't see much court time on the NBA floor if he makes the main roster out of camp

Marc Stein is reporting that the Rockets will sign Thabo Sefolosha.
Sefolosha was among the names at a recent mini camp, and he should make for a nice fit as a defensive stopper off the bench. The Rockets have a pretty thin group of reserves so we'd expect Sefolosha to be a regular rotation player, which puts him on the board as a steals specialist in deep leagues.

The observations continue to show a band of 60-65 kt winds to the southwest and west of the center. Matthew is moving east- northeastward at about 13 kt, and an east-northeastward motion within the mid-latitude westerlies should continue through tonight. Matthew is forecast by the global models to weaken and be absorbed within a frontal boundary on Monday, and the NHC forecast follows suit. It should be noted that a strong baroclinic low is expected to develop along the same frontal boundary near Nova Scotia on Monday. Winds over the Outer Banks of North Carolina have gradually diminished this afternoon, and the tropical storm warning has been discontinued. Dangerously high water levels over portions of the Outer Banks will gradually subside overnight and early Monday. Based on these trends, this will be the last NHC advisory on Matthew. For additional information on the elevated water levels in the Outer Banks and the ongoing freshwater flooding in eastern North Carolina, see products and warnings issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office.

I adore Beatrix Potter's illustrations of tiny little mice. Angelia Ballerina looks great in a Tutu, I've always like Mickey and Mighty and I will admit, Stewart was a great addition to the Little family. Cinderella made clothes for them, Snow white cleaned with them. Both sang to them, and their cute little mouse voices. Remember Gus' little gruff voice? Just adorable! But what is the one thing that these stories have in common? THEY ARE FICTION! Yes, mice are CUTE … on T.V., in cartoons, books and movies!
NOT in my house! Not in MY house! Not in my HOUSE!
I saw him come out of the heating vent. I screamed and he ran back into the vent. I was standing there stunned and a little too still because he came back out again. I took one look at him, pointed my finger and stamped my foot and yelled:
"You get back in there RIGHT NOW!"
And he did.
It makes me think of the book Theo le Seig wrote:
… "now you know," said the mouse. " You know what there is in a people house".
Well, I know what is in my house! A MOUSE!

Buying, selling, or renting property?
Real estate refers to land, as well as anything permanently attached to the land, such as buildings and other structures, and covers more than just the drafting of contracts for the purchase and sale of property. Both federal and state laws regulate real estate transactions. The Federal Fair Housing Act, for example, prohibits discrimination in real estate transactions on account of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Many states have enacted similar legislation that prohibits discrimination on the basis of certain characteristics.
Attorneys in this field may handle leasing issues, landlord-tenant disputes, eviction proceedings and homeowner association (HOA) problems. Other matters within this practice area include title disputes, mortgages, covenants, easements, and equitable servitudes. Many real estate issues can affect both commercial and individual renters and landlords. Real estate lawyers who represent commercial interests may also focus on land use, zoning, environmental law, or eminent domain issues.
Some states provide a certification for lawyers who have demonstrated experience and competency in the practice of real estate law. These attorneys must meet certain educational, experience, and examination requirements to receive the certification as a specialist.
Deed: The legal document that transfers the ownership of real property from one party to another.
Mortgage: A mortgage is a document signed by a borrower when a loan is made that gives the lender a right to take possession of the property if the borrower fails to repay the loan.

Writing and Working for Change: A Digital Archive of Social Activism by Teachers of NCTE/CCCC is a project co-directed by Samantha Blackmon, Cristina Kirklighter, and Steve Parks that responds to the need to both preserve and expand access to records documenting the collective work of English teachers as a way of supporting NCTE's commitment to social justice and equality.
In conjunction with efforts to chronicle historical moments for NCTE's Centennial Celebration, this project specifically celebrates the collective work of teachers within and across diverse identities to ensure the field recognize and respect the language, educational, political, and social rights of all students and teachers.
A digital archive has been set up to document the work of NCTE/CCCC caucuses, committees, and task forces that have advocated within and outside of the profession to achieve these goals. Many of these groups are using this digital archive to interview their respective founders and write up their groups' histories. Contact persons from various groups are asking NCTE members to help them in their search for archival material (see box above).
New! See video interviews with Malea Powell of the American Indian Caucus (part 1 and part 2) and with Martha Marinara and Mark McBeth of the Queer Caucus (part 1 and part 2).

Writing and Working for Change: Recognizing the Collective Workof Teachers within and across Diverse Identitiesfrom the September 2011 Council Chronicle
In 2011, NCTE will celebrate its 100th year of continued support to teachers of English, Writing, Composition, and Rhetoric. The Writing and Working for Change Committee intends to use this historical moment to recognize another singular and important achievement: the collective work of teachers within and across diverse identities to ensure the field recognizes and respects the language, educational, political, and social rights of all students and teachers.
Our main goals are to create a digital archive for identity-based caucuses and committees, online interviews, and founder and future leader panels, and a series of books that will chronicle these important identity-based histories.
--The Writing and Working for Change Committee (Samantha Blackmon, Cristina Kirklighter, and Steve Parks)
Recently NCTE asked the WWC Committee to share some thoughts on their work so far.
NCTE: Why is this project important at this particular time in NCTE's history? WWC: Back in the late 1960s and 1970s, a former NCTE Executive Secretary and Director, Robert F. Hogan (a proud Irish American), and other leaders knew identity-based caucuses and committees represented an important part of the future of NCTE, and their prediction was right. In 1977, Marjorie Farmer, the second African American NCTE President, said "There is a Commission on the Council's Past. Why not a Commission on the Council's Future? Why not a Commission on Dreams?"
This project embodies part of NCTE's past, its future, and dreams for a more inclusive organization celebrating our many identities. Perhaps this project embodies what these past voices were waiting for.
NCTE: What special events do you have planned for the 2011 NCTE Annual Convention?
WWC: We will have three panels (with two as featured sessions) that will bring together pivotal founders/leaders as well as future leaders of various caucuses and committees.
The G.01 featured session panelists will include presentations from Marianna Davis (Black Caucus), Carlota Cardenas Dwyer (Latino/a Caucus), and Rashidah Muhammad (Language Policy Committee).
The J.01 featured session will include presentations from Morris Young and LuMing Mao (Asian/Asian American Caucus), Malea Powell and Joyce Rain Anderson (American Indian Caucus), William Thelin (Working Class Caucus), and Brenda Brueggmann (CDICC).
The K.10 session will feature future caucus and committee leaders who will discuss what they learned from these leaders in a roundtable format. They are Rose Gubele (American Indian Caucus), Jennifer Sano-Franchini (Asian/Asian American Caucus), Austin Jackson (Language Policy Committee), Pamela Roeper (Working Class Caucus), Kendra Mitchell (Black Caucus), and Tracey Flores (Latino/a Caucus). Keith Gilyard has graciously agreed to host a reception to honor these speakers. The Black Caucus and Latino/a Caucus will also sponsor a cultural event honoring these founders.
Is the Writing and Working for Change project proving successful as a way to "celebrate the collective work of teachers within and across diverse identities"? SP: Writing and Working for Change has collected stories from many of the caucuses and committees which highlight the ways in which teachers have worked to establish a productive and supportive environment for teachers within and across identity and heritages. Malea Powell discusses how in the early year of Native American organizing at C's, the Latino caucus served as an important incubator for such work. Other individuals, such as Jay Dolmage, have traced the emergence of Disability Studies in our field, citing the Committee On Disability Issues in College Composition, as an important organizing vehicle. Indeed, to read all the caucus histories together is to see how each continually seeks to work in alliance with each other, endlessly attempting to expand the collective voices they represent.
As efforts are underway to "chronicle historic moments" for NCTE's Centennial, is the work of this project revealing any "historic moments" that deserve celebration?
WWC: Part of the goal of this project was to shift what counts as an historic moment. Too often, "history" seems to be made when an article or book is published. Writing and Working for Change understands history to also be occurring when formally marginalized individuals form into collectives, enabling them to have a greater influence within our profession. In that way, the points at which the Black Caucus, Latino Caucus, and Queer Caucus were formed, among others, are important historical moments. And it is out of those organizations that important resolutions, such as the Students Right to Their Own Language, emerge, or that a professional commitment to a diversity of voices in textbooks, such as one sees at NCTE, occurs. We also imagine the creation of mentorship networks, such as those embedded in caucuses such as the Native American Caucus, to be historically important, because they have ensured that the next generation of scholars will be more diverse and representative of who is in our classrooms.
What are examples of notable resources that teachers will have access to as a result of this project?
WWC: Teachers and students will have access to digital copies of historical documents, video interviews with caucus founders, and an online community where they can ask questions, network, and share information with other teachers, researchers, and students. Video interviews are still being finalized and will be compressed and uploaded as soon as possible.
The digital archive will be a community resource where members can research, share information, and network, and which members can also add to.
What has been the most rewarding part of this project for individual committee members?
Steve Parks: I have found it fascinating to learn of the ways in which the caucuses and SIGS emerged out of a deep and abiding faith that our profession could become more inclusive, democratic, and just in its work with teachers and students. The challenges faced by those who started these organizations were more severe and hostile than I imagined and, I think, speaks to the courage they exhibited. I think those who are just entering the profession will learn about what it means to be committed to literacy by reading these histories. And that, I find very rewarding.
Samantha Blackmon: The most rewarding part of the project thus far has been the archival research. Sifting through the archives and uncovering documents from the formation of the identity-based caucuses taught me more about the caucuses and the organizations than I could have ever learned otherwise.
Cristina Kirklighter: As a longstanding member and current co-chair of the NCTE/CCCCs Latino/a Caucus, I have always wanted identity caucuses and committees to become a closer community. One way to do this is to know each other's histories and respect these histories that in many ways are not mutually exclusive but purposely and meaningfully interconnected. This Centennial Celebration project offers us a way to strengthen our ties, and I have found it very rewarding to interact with different leaders and future leaders of caucuses and committees.
What comments or responses have you heard about the project from members of the NCTE/CCCC caucuses and other NCTE members?
WWC: We have received many comments asking why this project wasn't done years ago. This project was overdue to celebrate the many accomplishments of these identity caucuses and committees, some of whom have been around for well over forty years. The general response has been positive in that members of the caucuses are glad to be able to participate in the telling of their own stories and to have access to some of the materials held in the archives.
What remains to be done on this project? What is the committee's ultimate hope/dream for the project?WWC: We have several more books planned, focused on individual SIGs/Caucuses, and the online web presence is still being developed. For the project to be successful it should spark a consistent attention to these organizations, both in terms of insuring they have the resources to thrive, but also that our field continue to study their importance in shaping our classrooms, our pedagogy, and our future leaders.

No wonder sitcom creators liken getting a series on the air to creating a child; months or years of development need to combine with patience, love and the willingness to modify and tweak a concept until it hurts. Here, we talk with some of TV's top sitcom (and one dramedy) heads about those first-show birthing pains and learn just what they were up to the night baby took its first steps on the airwaves.
Robert Carlock ('30 Rock')
In the beginning: "The whole first year we were dumb enough not to realize how hard it was to do what we were trying to do. We just walked blissfully like babies into it."
Needs fixing: Adjusting the Jack (Alec Baldwin) and Liz (Tina Fey) relationship was key. "You could see a version where he was just a stuffed shirt and she just a knee-jerk do-gooder. That's what was on the table for the first few episodes."
About that night: On the "dance floor in some back room" of a bar or restaurant, the cast and crew watched the first episode "en masse." "The sound quality was terrible, and there was a terrible storm outside — they had a satellite hookup and the video kept dropping out. We were trying not to convince ourselves that it was a sign of things to come."
Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan ('Modern Family')
In the beginning: An "enormous amount of character work up front," says Levitan, meant the actors and writers were very comfortable early on. "By the time we started, we really felt we knew these characters."
Needs fixing: Quickly the "camera confessionals" the characters did directly to the cameras fell away, because they interfered with pacing, says Lloyd. "We found moving fast suits everyone," he adds.
About that night: There was a "low-key opening night launch party" in West Hollywood, recalls Lloyd, while Levitan monitored Twitter for East Coast feed comments. "I could read about the show playing in real time," he says. "I still do it sometimes. I love to hear how the jokes are playing."
TIMELINE: Emmy winners through the years
Chuck Lorre ('The Big Bang Theory')
In the beginning: "Theory" caught a lucky break early on, getting a second shot at a pilot from CBS after the first one didn't go over so well. "This is the only time I ever got a do-over."
Needs fixing: Everything, basically, but tone especially. "There's a sweetness to these characters being unable to handle the day-to-day stuff, and we embraced that vulnerability the second time."
About that night: For many years, Lorre had a party at his home with the casts of "Two and a Half Men," "Theory" and "Mike & Molly," since their season premieres dovetailed. "We'd watch it on the air, then pray for the next few hours until the ratings came out," he said. But after some CBS schedule reshuffling, "it became fractured," and "we took a break this year." Does he miss the gathering? "No. It's nerve-wracking."
THE ENVELOPE: The awards insider
Dave Finkel and Brett Baer ('New Girl')
In the beginning: Shifting to 24 episodes with "New Girl," up from 12 on "United States of Tara," was eye-opening, and the pair had to get a grip on the four-act structure that broadcast wants. "With 12 episodes, they give you much more walk-up time," says Baer, "and the nature of broadcast shows is you don't have that latitude."
Needs fixing: Less "adorkable," more depth for their title character, Jess (Zooey Deschanel). "Season 1 was all about finding our feet," says Finkel.
About that night: Despite a big planned party in the writers' room, the pair were stuck editing reshoots for the second episode. "We fell asleep at 5 in the morning, wrapped in Snuggies and sleeping bags, and two hours later the phone started buzzing and the numbers came in and they were positive," says Finkel.
Michael Schur ('Parks & Recreation')
In the beginning: When the "Office" formula did not export to "Parks," Schur and Greg Daniels needed to find a new approach. "You don't truly know a show until you're around episode 10, certainly not when you're making the pilot."
Needs fixing: Casting was solid, but it took a while for the writers to know what kind of humor to hand their actors. "You have to embrace change once the show is cast and characters are milling around."
About that night: With their star (Amy Poehler) pregnant, they raced to shoot several episodes back-to-back and were editing when the pilot aired. "We left the edit bay, drove to a little party at a bar and were like, 'Yay! The show aired!' and then went back to the edit bay. I didn't even get a drink at the bar. I needed my wits about me."
Greg Garcia ('Raising Hope')
In the beginning: Working with many of the same crew he'd paired up with for "My Name Is Earl" made "Raising Hope" a fairly smooth-starting show. "It felt like being home again."
Needs fixing: "The pilot episode is very eye-opening, because as you write the next couple of episodes and film them, the world grows and you can steer it in a particular direction — but you can only control it so much."
About that night: "I cannot remember!" Garcia had already watched it with family and friends, as well as in editing and upfronts, "so by the time it aired on TV, everyone I cared about had seen it. There wasn't a reason to have a big hoopla at that point — and most likely we were shooting straight through the premiere."
Matt Nix ('Burn Notice')
In the beginning: "Picture a vertical cliff as learning curve." Nix learned quickly that he couldn't do everything himself and he'd need to rely on his teams in writing and production to get the show on the air.
Needs fixing: "I have learned how to invite other people into my process. This is a band you're trying to get to play in harmony, not an army you tell to march and take that hill."
About that night: Nix has had blowout parties in his backyard for every season premiere. But that first year he still lived in Pasadena and didn't even have a backyard — so they rented a big screen and beanbags and held it in the frontyard. "We were in a far-from-fully gentrified area, and people were like, 'Is that a housing project down the street?' And it was."
Rob McElhenney ('It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia')
In the beginning: As "complete neophytes" to writing and producing television, McElhenney and his team were "making it up as they went along."
Needs fixing: The title of the original show was "It's Always Sunny on TV," a backhanded wave to a song by "Take on Me" hitmakers A-ha, and was to have been based in Los Angeles. But L.A. had a glut of locally based shows, so the series moved east and got a new name. "From our experience, we knew you could find degenerates anywhere." It still took three seasons before they realized they could ask for more from the network than one trailer shared by all, for all purposes.
About that night: "We threw a party in a Santa Monica bar called the Shack because it's a Philly-themed bar and watched the episode. I wasn't nervous but we'd produced, and edited seven episodes — and we were exhausted."

Every year in Illinois, as many as 500 babies are born with hearing loss. Illinois' Newborn Hearing Screening program is available through your hospital to test your newborn's hearing. Babies must be able to hear so they can learn to talk. If you
find hearing loss early, your baby will have the best chance to learn.
All infants born in Illinois are screened before being sent home from the hospital. If the screening shows that the newborn may not have normal hearing, the infant is referred to a hearing specialist so further testing and follow-up can
be done.
The Division of Specialized Care for Children (DSCC) administers this program.

Director Roland Emmerich, having already laid waste to the White House in "Independence Day," is back for seconds in "White House Down," in which D.C. cop Channing Tatum's John Cale turns into an impromptu bodyguard to Jamie Foxx's President James Sawyer after a gang of nasties moves in.
Tatum muscles his way through the role with panache, while Foxx never gets a chance to break loose. (Would breaking loose be considered unpresidential?) John's young daughter (Joey King) is also trapped inside the White House, and she disports herself mightily. Maybe she'll get her own movie franchise.
Emmerich isn't strenuous about setting a consistent tone. Action movie blow-ups are interlaced with dumb jokes and slapstick. He's an anything-for-effect guy, but some of his effects are none too effective. Grade: C+ (Rated PG-13 for prolonged sequences of action and violence including intense gunfire and explosions, some language and a brief sexual image.)

Red Meat Ups
Kidney Cancer Risk

Diets rich in red meat have long been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and colon cancer, a new study adds kidney cancer to the list.
Renal cell carcinoma (also called renal adenocarcinoma or hypernephroma) is the most common type of kidney cancer. The condition is more prevalent in 40 to 60 year-old men.
Smoking, obesity, lack of physical exercise, and occupational exposure are considered as the condition's main risk factors.
However, according to the study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, eating too much red meat, white bread and potatoes places individuals at a higher risk of developing renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer.
The high vegetable content of a diet is believed to have a protective effect against this cancer. Such a relationship however was not reported for fruits and dairy food.
The high glycemic index -- an indicator showing how quickly blood glucose rises after eating a particular food -- of these foods affects insulin resistance as well as the insulin-like growth factors, leading to increased kidney cancer risk.
Women are reported to be more influenced by this effect.
Scientists therefore urge adopting a healthy diet rich in vegetables and low in red meat with the aim of tackling various health conditions including renal cell carcinoma.

The holiday season is upon us! The weather has cooled down, airfare prices have gone up, and with all the holiday preparation, stress levels can start to rise. Although the holiday season is meant to be a time of joy, celebration, and quality time with family and friends, stress seems to be inevitable for many people. But does it have to be? Why does stress permeate our vacations and family time?
As a relationship coach, over the years I've found some effective ways to stay more connected and enjoy time with family and friends during the holiday season. Here I'd like to share my top five with you:
1. Practice the art of listening
We think we know how to listen, but often we are focused on what to say in response. Empathy is key to listening, where we practice being fully present. Empathy can help to keep the peace around the house, at the dinner table, and even improve your digestion. Sometimes we just want to be heard, especially during the holiday season where we gather, share and connect with one another.
2. Offer a helping hand to those preparing the house and the meals
Preparing for relatives and friends to join us over the holidays can be extremely stressful. I know when I'm watching TV or playing video games while others are busy making sure everyone's needs are met, something is out of balance. That's why I ask those making preparations whether or not they could use some help. Even if they say, "No," simply being willing to contribute validates the efforts of others and meets an unspoken need for support.
3. Share what you're grateful for
Whether it's through gifts or words, gratitude and acknowledgment are always welcome. Expressing gratitude is not only beneficial for those around you, but studies have shown that it increases your overall well-being. Take time, before arriving at gatherings, to think of a few things you are grateful for; you might be surprised at how it will change your perspective and lift your mood and the mood of others.
4. Take notice of your expectations
Often we're not aware of the pressure we put on ourselves and others to live up to standards we have created. Expectations cloud our perception of others, as we see them only in the image of who we think they should be. It can be hard for us to appreciate parts of them that don't meet our expectations, and this can lead to arguments. Once you're aware of your expectations, you'll be less likely to be disappointed if they're not met, and be more open to connect with those around you.
5. Reflect on previous conflicts and see if you can better understand what caused them
Looking back on previous family gatherings, was active listening employed? Were assumptions made about who in the family was on the best path, career or relationship? Was there a punishing silence when certain subjects were avoided, aka the elephant in the room? If you wish to acknowledge the part you played in any previous conflict, along with a heartfelt apology, it just might be the gift that lasts the longest.

The use of HAART suppresses HIV production, which allows the immune system to begin repairs. As a result, previously hard-to-treat infections usually begin to respond to therapy and may go into remission.
In HIV positive people with a limited number of KS lesions (less than 10) and no other KS-related complications, research-dermatologists have recently recommended that doctors prescribe HAART. They suggest that the immune recovery associated with HAART will, in the medium- or long-term, cause these limited number of lesions to fade.
For people with more extensive KS or who have KS tumours that are affecting their internal organs, anti-cancer chemotherapy is required.
In the time before HAART, chemotherapy caused some lesions to regress and generally delayed the spread of new lesions and reduced the size of existing ones. However, chemotherapy rarely cured AIDS-related KS.
In the 1990s, new formulations of chemotherapy were developed. These formulations contained chemotherapy inside tiny balls of fat called liposomes. They caused less toxicity and resulted in better penetration of chemotherapy into tumours.
In addition to trapping drugs inside liposomes, pharmaceutical companies have added PEG (polyethylene glycol) to them. The process of adding PEG to another drug is called pegylation and results in a longer-lasting formulation of the drug. One drug that has been reformulated so that it is both in liposomes and pegylated is called Caelyx, or liposomal doxorubicin.
Short- vs. Long-Term
While the short-term response to products (whether they are drugs, vaccines or chemotherapy) is well publicized by pharmaceutical companies, patients, their doctors and payers (such as drug formularies and insurance companies) are interested in long-term impacts.
So researchers at several Spanish hospitals reviewed health information collected from their patients with AIDS-related KS between 1997 and 2006 to assess the long-term effectiveness of liposomal anti-cancer therapy. All patients had received pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD; Caelyx) as part of two studies. Their findings suggest that the use of PLD is very effective in moderate-to-advanced KS -- relapse rates were low. However, the death rate was relatively high and the reasons for this are explored later in this report.
Study Details
Researchers analysed data from two clinical trials. In the first study, they assessed the safety and effectiveness of PLD against AIDS-related KS. In the second study, they assessed the effect of HAART and PLD on KS. For the purposes of the combined study, the researchers looked at the long-term outcomes -- KS, survival and complications.
In total, there were 98 participants who were evaluated. Their average profile was as follows:
- 4 females, 94 males
- age -- 40 years
- all participants had at least 10 KS lesions on their skin or lesions in the mouth and internal organs; nearly 30% had KS on or near major internal organs/systems such as the lungs and intestine
- CD4+ count -- 150 cells
- viral load -- 16,000 copies
- all participants were taking HAART
- 75% of participants tested positive for HHV-8
Participants received PLD intravenously at a dose of 20 mg per square metre of skin, once every three weeks. Each of these dosing periods is called a cycle. On average, participants received nine cycles of PLD. Some participants were monitored for up to eight years.
Results -- Initially
Response to therapy varied, but a substantial proportion of participants (75%) achieved some degree of benefit as follows:
- 48 people (49%) recovered from KS
- 27 participants (28%) had a partial recovery -- lesions shrank by at least 50% in size and/or there were 50% fewer lesions after therapy
But there were some participants who did not benefit from PLD, as follows:
- 13 (15%) patients had little or no improvement
- 7 participants died while receiving PLD
- 3 participants did not complete their PLD regimens, probably because they were not effective
Results -- Relapse
Of the 75 participants who had a favourable response (either a complete recovery or only a partial regression of lesions) researchers were able to report the long-term results on 61. These 61 people were monitored for an average of four years after their chemotherapy was complete.
In total, eight participants had their KS lesions return. In five people, this happened within one year of stopping chemotherapy.
Participants who relapsed tended to have lower CD4+ counts when they initially began chemotherapy or had low CD4+ counts after they completed chemotherapy.
Concern Over Deaths
Death rates were relatively high in this study and the possible reasons for this are complex and discussed later. Here are the overall details concerning deaths:
About 30% (29 out of 98 participants) died over the course of the study, as follows:
- 8 patients died while being treated for KS
- 9 patients died within one year after stopping chemotherapy
- 12 patients died more than a year after the end of their chemotherapy
The researchers noted that only three participants died from complications related to worsening KS. However, eight people died from serious blood and viral infections.
What caused additional concern was that in the remaining 19 patients all but two died from tumour-related complications. However, none of the tumours were KS -- they were different forms of lymphoma. Participants died from lymphoma-related complications at the rate of about 2% per year. Death rates in KS studies now that HAART is available are generally much lower.
All patients with lymphoma tested positive for HHV-8. The significance of this finding will be discussed later.
In reviewing the Spanish study, other researchers have noted the unexpected and high death rate. One explanation may be that patients in the Caelyx study were quite ill, given their extent of KS. However, this does not account for the many new cases of lymphoma that occurred after treatment with Caelyx.
A diagnosis of KS can be followed by subsequent diagnoses of cancer several years later. Both KS and lymphoma are associated with HHV-8 infection. Given that the immune suppression from HIV infection persists, even in HAART users, it is possible that this particular group of patients was more susceptible to cancer-causing viruses. However, high rates of death and subsequent lymphoma have not been noticed in other KS studies.
Another possibility is that prolonged exposure to chemotherapy, in this case doxorubicin, may have increased the risk of lymphoma. A previous study in HIV negative people with cancer suggests the possibility that exposure to doxorubicin may have played a role in the subsequent development of a second cancer such as leukemia or lymphoma.
So what to do? Experts in AIDS-related KS writing an editorial in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases have suggested that HAART be the treatment of choice for mild or limited KS (fewer than 10 lesions and no lesions in the mouth or throat and no KS-related water retention). Close monitoring should be done to ensure that no new lesions appear and that over the medium- and long-term, KS lesions regress. If a few new skin lesions do appear, doctors should consider local treatment for them, remembering that HAART can help the immune system fight KS but that this immune response "may be delayed by several months or years," according to the editorial.
In more serious cases, where KS is affecting an organ or is life-threatening, the experts recommend the following course of action:
"HAART should be associated with adjuvant therapy, such as taxanes [Taxol] or liposomal anthracyclins chemotherapies. Evaluation of the response to therapy should be performed regularly to prevent both early and late complications of chemotherapy and to avoid excessive dosages of chemotherapy in this population, which is at risk of developing lymphoproliferative disorders."
