Bandung:The team of doctors at Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, will perform another surgery on Dede, “the Tree Man,” at the end of February. The tenth operation will involve six surgical doctors and one anesthetic doctor. “The focus of the operation is to clean the warts around the hands. We will reduce them by 50 percent,” said the team leader, Dr. Rahmat Dinata, yesterday.
Since October last year, Dede has stopped checking his health at the hospital. Yesterday, the doctors decided to operate on him because of his worsening condition. “Dede is suffering from epidermodysplasia verruciformis with giant cutaneous horn. This is rather a difficult case to handle because the roots of the warts have gone to the bones,” he said.

Bandung - Rapat direktur medik, direktur keuangan dan tim dokter penangan Dede 'manusia pohon' menghasilkan keputusan untuk mengoperasi ulang Dede pada akhir Februari 2010.
Tindakan ini dilakukan setelah hasil pemeriksaan kutil yang tumbuh kembali di beberapa bagian tubuh Dede. "Kita sudah rapat dan sepakat untuk mengoperasi kembali Dede. Waktunya, akhir Februari," tutur Ketua Tim Penanganan Dede dr Rahmat Dinata ketika ditemui wartawan di RSHS Selasa (26/1/2010).
Alasan dilakukannya operasi pada akhir Februari menurut Rahmat dikarenakan kesibukan RSHS akan evakuasi pasien Gakinda dan Jamkesmas ke Gedung Baru RSHS.
"Ruangannya masih penuh. Kamar lamanya yang di Bougenville tidak bisa digunakan lagi. Karena sudah dipindahkan ke Gedung Baru," terang Rahmat.
Rencananya Dede akan menempati Gedung Baru RSHS saat dirawat nanti. "Dede kan pasien Jamkesmas. Jadinya akan dirawat disana juga. Tapi dalam ruang terpisah supaya tidak berbaur dengan pasien lain," tandas Rahmat.

Oww Funny : "Charlie bit my finger – again !"
Even had I thought of trying to get my boys to do this I probably couldn’t have. Neither were coerced into any of this and neither were hurt (for very long anyway). This was just one of those moments when I had the video camera out because the boys were being fun and they provided something really very funny. - Author

Kentucky couple win $128M Prize
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A central Kentucky autoworker is lucky he held on to the $128 million Powerball ticket he bought on Christmas Eve during some last-minute shopping — after all, it was printed by mistake.
Lottery officials said Rob Anderson and his wife, Tuesday, were winners of the largest jackpot in the state's history.
On Wednesday the couple was introduced at the state lottery headquarters in Louisville. The Andersons said they didn't initially believe they had won the $128.6 million jackpot after buying lottery tickets together for 12 years.
"We didn't hit it, that's not us," Rob Anderson said he told his wife after showing her the winning ticket the morning after the Dec. 26 drawing. "Something's not right!"
Rob Anderson, 39, said the winning ticket was a misprint that he decided to keep while buying stocking stuffers at a Georgetown, Ky., gas station. He wanted to buy $1 lottery tickets for three people, but the clerk goofed.
"The clerk ran the $3 Quick Pick but he put it all on one ticket, and I was like, doggone it, I needed three separate tickets," Anderson said.
The clerk asked him if he wanted to keep the ticket, which had three sets of random numbers.
"Yeah, I got a couple extra dollars," Anderson said, and he bought three more tickets to give as gifts.
When he arrived at home, he tossed the ticket on his dresser and didn't think about it until the Sunday morning after the drawing. When he remembered it, he checked the Powerball numbers and they matched one of the sets of numbers on the botched ticket: 32-36-37-41-53 and Powerball 30.
The couple, who work at a plant building seats for Toyotas, said they were hesitant to go public about the winnings. They declined to say if they had children.
"We're really grounded people," Rob Anderson said. "My wife taught me well, so to speak, to hang on to that dollar and see how far it gets you. We'll still clip coupons and still look for the clearance rack."
He said they would like to go back to school. His proposed major? Finance.
Tuesday Anderson said they have a dream of visiting Hawaii and she wants a new car.
The couple said they haven't decided if they'll return to work and whether they'll take a lump sum payment, which would be worth about $63 million.
Prior to this jackpot, the largest ever won in Kentucky was $89.3 million in 1996.
(This version CORRECTS Corrects amount of jackpot thruout, $128.6 million sted $126.6 million.)

Obama: al-Qaida link to Christmas terror suspect
HONOLULU – President Barack Obama laid blame Saturday on an al-Qaida affiliate for a Christmas Day terrorist attack that has prompted a top-to-bottom review of how the nation's intelligence agencies failed to prevent the botched bombing aboard a Detroit-bound airliner.
In his most direct public language to date, the president described the path through Yemen of 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian accused of trying to destroy Northwest Flight 253. The president also emphasized that the United States would continue its partnerships with friendly countries — citing Yemen, in particular — to fight terrorists and extremist groups around the globe.
Obama's homeland security team has been piecing together just how Abdulmutallab was able to board the plane. Officials have described flaws in the system and by those executing the strategy and have delivered a preliminary assessment.
A senior administration official had said the United States was increasingly confident there was a link between Abdulmutallab and an al-Qaida affiliate, but Obama's statement is the strongest connection between the two.
"We're learning more about the suspect," Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address that the White House released on Saturday as the president vacationed in Hawaii.
"We know that he traveled to Yemen, a country grappling with crushing poverty and deadly insurgencies. It appears that he joined an affiliate of al-Qaida, and that this group — al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula — trained him, equipped him with those explosives and directed him to attack that plane headed for America," the president said.
Officials have said Abdulmutallab's father warned the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria that his son had drifted into extremism in the al-Qaida hotbed of Yemen. Abdulmutallab's threat was only partially digested by the U.S. security apparatus and not linked with a visa history showing the young man could fly to the United States.
Obama has ordered a thorough look at the shortcomings that permitted the plot, which failed not because of U.S. actions but because the would-be attacker was unable to ignite an explosive device.
Intelligence officials prepared for what was shaping up to be uncomfortable hearings before Congress about miscommunication among anti-terror agencies and sweeping changes expected under Obama's watch. The president has been vocal in his criticism of the agencies and against extremists who would harm the United States.
"This is not the first time this group has targeted us," Obama said. "In recent years, they have bombed Yemeni government facilities and Western hotels, restaurants and embassies, including our embassy in 2008, killing one American."
"So, as president, I've made it a priority to strengthen our partnership with the Yemeni government — training and equipping their security forces, sharing intelligence and working with them to strike al-Qaida terrorists," he said.
The United States provided Yemen $67 million in training and support under the Pentagon's counterterrorism program last year. Only Pakistan got more, with some $112 million.
Obama said the money had been well spent: "Training camps have been struck, leaders eliminated, plots disrupted. And all those involved in the attempted act of terrorism on Christmas must know — you too will be held to account."
At the same time, administration officials warned this week that Obama also would hold accountable his own government. To that end, Obama has summoned homeland security officials from across the government to meet with him in the White House Situation Room on Tuesday.
Obama was expected to run the meeting and press his team on how they missed what appears to be clear connections.
