President Obama's gun-control proposals are getting a mixed reception on Capitol Hill, where there appears to be bipartisan support for universal background checks but little appetite for banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines – even among some Democrats.
Key Democratic leaders in the Senate have signaled that they are behind all the president's efforts, suggesting that they will get a full airing there. But meeting the 60-vote threshold to pass the president's entire agenda without a filibuster appears unlikely – and the Republican-controlled House shows no signs of taking action until the Senate passes a bill.
While national opinion polls have shown a greater openness to gun control after the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., they also indicate that the American public is overwhelmingly supportive only of universal background checks. And without overwhelming support, it seems, Republicans and Democrats in conservative-leaning districts fear they are more likely to face a backlash for a vote in favor of gun control than against it.
"If you look at the combination of likelihood of passage and effectiveness of curbing gun crime, universal background checks is at the sweet spot," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D) of New York.
According to a recent Washington Post-ABC poll, almost 9 in 10 Americans support universal background checks. That's far higher than the slim majority of Americans who favor bans on assault-weapon sales or restrictions on magazine size, according to the same poll.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Mr. Obama's proposal to require background checks for all gun buyers drew almost no criticism from Republican lawmakers. Currently, gun sales from so-called "private sellers," which make up about 4 in 10 firearms transactions, don't require the buyer to pass a background check.
Rep. Mike Thompson (D) of California, chairman of the House's Democratic task force on gun violence, told reporters on Monday he had spoken to several Republican members who were in favor of universal background checks.
But beyond universal background checks, the rest of the president's proposals look as if they could be in for a hard slog.
Senate Democrats vow to fight for the president. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D) of Vermont, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told students at Georgetown University's Law Center on Wednesday that he would begin a series of hearings on gun control two weeks from Wednesday. That would mark the first congressional action on the subject.
"I think it is an urgent situation and that's why the first hearings of anybody, House or Senate, will be held by me," Senator Leahy said. "I would point out that I have a track record of getting legislation passed."
Crucially, Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada said in a statement Wednesday he was "committed" to Senate consideration of gun-violence legislation early in 2013.
But Democrats will need at least five Senate Republicans to avoid a filibuster. And when Republicans look at the options laid out by the president, they don't like much of what they see.
"President Obama is targeting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens instead of seriously addressing the real underlying causes of such violence," said Sen. Marco Rubio (R) of Florida.
Specifically, Republicans took aim at restrictions on assault weapons and potential new limits on magazines that hold the weapons' ammunition.
"Criminals aren't going to follow legislation limiting magazine capacity. However, a limit could put law-abiding citizens at a distinct disadvantage when confronting a criminal," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) of South Carolina. "As for reinstating the assault-weapons ban, it has already been tried and failed."
Many reacted negatively to Obama's executive orders, saying the use of such powers shows the president is not acting in good faith.
"Instead of a thoughtful, open and deliberate conversation, President Obama is attempting to institute new restrictions on a fundamental constitutional right…. It's the wrong way to unite people behind a proposal on such a powerful and emotional topic," said Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who had previously expressed some openness to restrictions on bullet magazines, in a statement. "The legislative proposals face an uphill battle in Congress."
Some Democrats, too, might have reservations. More than a half-dozen red-state Democrats are up for election in 2014, and they may not want a gun vote hanging around their necks. Other Democrats, including Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, have top grades from the National Rifle Association (NRA) and will have to be convinced to go along with the president. Freshman Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D) of North Dakota called Democratic proposals "extreme" before they even became public.
What happens in the Senate will do much to shape what, if any, action happens in Congress's other half. The reaction from the House was summed up by a short statement from the office of Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio, effectively saying: Call us when the Senate does something.
"House committees of jurisdiction will review these recommendations," said Michael Steel, a Boehner spokesman. "And if the Senate passes a bill, we will also take a look at that."
As in the Senate, a few House Democrats in conservative-leaning districts might be wary of a risky vote on guns. Support for gun rights is one reason that lawmakers such as Democratic Reps. Jim Matheson of Utah, Jim McIntyre (D) of North Carolina, and Nick Rahall of West Virginia survive. All three received financial support from the NRA.
Representative Rahall, for example, voted against the crime bill containing the original assault-weapons ban in 1994.
Moreover, more Democrats are looking at tight reelection contests than are Republicans. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates 16 Democratic seats in 2014 that are toss-ups or lean slightly toward the Democrat versus only six Republicans in a similar situation.
Were controversial legislation to come to the House, that chamber's final response to the president may sound something like the response of Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R) of Virginia to Obama's proposals. Representative Goodlatte said his committee would look at the president's recommendations as it went about its own review of policy aimed at preventing future incidents like the shooting in Newtown.
"However," Goodlatte said, "good intentions do not necessarily make good laws."

In only the fourth FIFA U-17 World Cup final to go to penalty kicks, Nigeria kept their cool from the spot to beat Spain 3-0 after 120 scoreless minutes, taking the coveted trophy for the third time. The game took place on Sunday 9 September in the Seoul FIFA World Cup Stadium.
The hero for the Golden Eaglets was keeper Oladele Ajiboye, who saved two Spanish spot-kicks on a glorious night for Nigerian football. Under the watchful eye of coach Yemi Tella, the class of 2007 thus wrote their names alongside those who triumphed at China 1985 and Japan 1999.
Despite the lack of goals, the game was certainly not short of excitement, with both sides determined to go all out for victory. During the course of a breathless first half, it became clear that Spain coach Juan Santisteban had set his stall out with a fluid five-man midfield in a bid to dominate possession. In the absence of star striker Bojan, the responsibility fell to midfielders Fran Merida, Iago and Lukas to get forward and support Dani Aquino, ploughing a lone furrow up front for Spain.
Nigeria, for their part, took a more direct approach to unsettling the Spanish backline, with right-footed playmaker Rabiu Ibrahim arrowing high balls out to Ademola Rafeal and Ganiyu Oseni on the flank and to powerful front-runner Macauley Chrisantus.
Chances came and went for both sides during the hectic opening period. Nigeria went close on 29 minutes through left-sided midfielder Rafeal, whose effort slid past David de Gea's right-hand post. Spain struck back five minutes later, Sergio seeing his close-range shot cleared off the line with Ajiboye beaten.
After the break, Nigeria coach Tella withdraw Rafeal in favour of flying left-winger Sheriff Isa, yet the first chance of the second half fell to Spain one minute in, Aquino narrowly failing to get on the end of Isma Lopez's cross.
Nigeria continued to press forward, but the Africans struggled to create any real openings. After a couple of dangerous centres had come to naught, King Osanga took matters into his own hands on 57 minutes, drawing hearty applause from the passionate Nigerian supporters with a strike that had De Gea at full stretch. Spain, meanwhile, looked threatening on the counter, Fran Merida nearly breaking the deadlock on 69 minutes. The Arsenal starlet latched on to a lofted pass before cutting in from the left and firing in a shot which Ajiboye did well to save.
With just ten minutes of the 90 remaining, both coaches shuffled their packs: Tella freshening up his forward line and Santisteban tinkering with his midfield. Both sides could have settled the match in the dying moments. First Ajiboye saved from Aquino a minute into injury time, and De Gea then denied substitute Isa 60 seconds later, before Ajiboye prevented Fran Merida grabbing the winner in the third minute of added time.
The extra-time period proved equally compelling. On the 105-minute mark, Nigeria defender Kingsley Udoh had La Selección hearts in their mouths, his remarkable speculative effort from around 55 metres catching De Gea off his line only to come back off the crossbar. Eight minutes later Oseni found himself in a good position, only to blaze his effort over the top. Still the drama continued, Iago powering a fierce drive at goal on 117th that looked destined for the back of the net, only for Ajiboye to turn it away for a corner kick. In spite of both sides' best efforts, the 0-0 scoreline refused to budge after 120 minutes of exhilarating action. Matthew Edile, Daniel Joshua and Ganiyu Oseni all made no mistake for Nigeria from the penalty spot, while Asier Illarramendi missed Spain's first kick before Ajiboye denied both Fran Merida and Iago to spark jubilant celebrations for the victorious Golden Eaglets.

MIAMI – Two planes that clipped each other in the gate area of Miami International Airport are grounded until an investigation is complete.
The wing of an Aerolineas Argentinas A340 clipped the back of an Air France jet on Thursday afternoon. People were forced to evacuate both planes. No injuries were reported.
Once planes are off the taxiway, they are directed by separate ground controllers, who send them to their gate. With MIA seeing record passenger traffic, things can be very hectic.
"When you are pulling up to a gate you have people, wing walkers, helping you and generally at a certain point you are trusting them to look out for you," said Seth Kaplan with Airline Weekly.
In 2012, passenger traffic increased three percent with 39.5 million passengers flying into and out of the airport.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reports planes colliding while on the ground is one of the top ten issues in aviation. Part of the problem could be bigger planes.
"Certainly, aircraft over the years have gotten larger and airports in many cases are not able to keep up because this is infrastructure that in some cases has existed for many decades," said Kaplan. "They try to adapt but the airplanes come off the assembly lines more quickly than the airports can adapt."
Both planes involved in Thursday's incident were wide-body jets. The Airbus A340-300 is 209 feet long, 55 feet tall and has a 197-foot wide wingspan.
"There are a lot of big advantages to big airplanes and this is one of the disadvantages and there is going to be some give and take to get to that point where these things don't happen," added Kaplan.
NTSB Chairwoman Deborah Hersman wrote to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) last year that: "While collision warning systems are now common in highway vehicles, it is important for the aviation industry to consider their application in large aircraft."
Experts say the industry can focus on these incidents because bigger safety problems of the past have improved.
"It has now been over a decade since a main line U.S. airline, a non-commuter U.S. airline, has had a major fatal crash. That is great news. Now we are able to talk about these things as the big issue but it is an issue," said Kaplan.
On New Year's Eve, a Spirit jet clipped another plane at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. That incident remains under investigation.

Is Your Privacy Harmed If You Believe Others May Have Seen Private Info... Even If They Haven't?
from the privacy-questions deptWe've noted, repeatedly, that in various data breach cases, courts have consistently found that if the data was exposed but then not actually used for nefarious purposes, there's really no legal recourse. The standard argument is that, in such cases, there's no actual harm to be remedied. I can definitely see the reasoning there, though I do worry if that creates bad incentives concerning data protection. However, in a totally different (and much more tragic) situation, you can see how the "no one saw it" line of thinking doesn't make much sense at all. Ryan Calo discusses the story of Tyler Clementi, the Rutgers student who committed suicide a few months back, after his roommate supposedly broadcast his sexual encounters over the internet. The roommate is apparently now saying that no one, other than himself and a friend, ever saw the video, but Calo suggests that this is still a privacy violation:
The question of whether the defendants recorded or broadcast the web cam is highly relevant to whether there has been a privacy violation. Yet it is hardly relevant at all to the question of whether there has been a privacy harm.Calo is making an interesting, yet important, distinction here, between a privacy harm and a legal privacy violation. But it also highlights how the "harm" can come from a few different ways as well, including just the feeling of a loss of control, even if the information is not actually used negatively:
What matters is what Clementi believed. If it turns out that Clementi killed himself because he believed the entire campus watched him have gay sex, then he suffered a severe subjective privacy harm. This is true whether or not the belief was accurate. Just as likely is that Clementi had no idea one way or another who saw the footage. The uncertainty could have been nearly as horrible to this desperate, mortified young man as an affirmative belief.
Clementi�s suicide forces us to confront the dual nature of privacy harm. Privacy harm is the objective consequences that flow from the loss of control over personal information. But it is also the subjective experience of that loss of control. This is so not only in the terrible case of Clementi, but in the everyday experiences of the consumer who is worried she will suffer identity theft following a data breach or the citizen who avoids making jokes about terrorism for fear that the NSA is reading his emails.

I applaud your decision to reject the petition to extend the expiration date for the use of tetracycline on organic apple and pear trees beyond Oct. 21, 2014. I urge you to take the same principled stand and reject the pressure from a vocal minority of organic apple and pear growers who want to continue to use the antibiotic streptomycin until October 2017.
One of the reasons I buy organic food is to do my part to solve the problem of antibiotic-resistant human pathogens. I don't want to play any part in the abuse of antibiotics by industrial agriculture.
According to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year in the U.S. at least 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 23,000 people die each year as a direct result of these infections. Many more people die from other conditions that were complicated by an antibiotic-resistant infection.
In light of these new findings, I'm especially disappointed in the exception to the National Organic Program's "no antibiotics" rule. As we correctly do not allow the use of antibiotics in other organic crops or in animals, why do we still allow it in apples and pears? I'm concerned that if the National Organic Standards Board doesn't follow through with its scheduled phase-out of the antibiotic streptomycin on Oct. 21, 2014, we'll never see an end of its use.
There are effective means of stopping this problem without resorting to dangerous antibiotics. And there are apple and pear species that are naturally resistant to this blight.
Antibiotics don't belong in organic. The non-therapeutic use of antibiotics in agriculture endangers the environment and human health by setting the stage for human pathogens to become resistant to antibiotics that are critically important to human medicine. Organic principles don't support the use of antibiotics, a synthetic off-farm input, to address fire blight.
Thank you for considering my comments. I hope that you will side with consumers and the majority of apple and pear growers who agree that antibiotics shouldn't be used in organic.

In April 2013, the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) rejected a petition to extend the deadline for allowing growers of organic apples and pears to spray their fruit with tetracycline, an antibiotic. Thanks in part to the 32,619 comments submitted by OCA supporters, growers of organic apples and pears will have to stop spraying their fruit with tetracycline after Oct. 21, 2014.
That's a victory. But only a partial one.
Please sign the petition below, telling the NOSB you want them to honor the Oct. 21, 2014 deadline for ending the use of another antibiotic, streptomycin, on organic apples and pears.
Last year's vote to honor the Oct. 21, 2014, deadline for ending the use of tetracycline on organic apples and pears was close. In order for the industry to get what it wanted—an extended deadline—it needed 10 out of the 15 NOSB members to vote in favor of extending the deadline. Industry lost—and consumers won—by only one vote. (Industry needed 10 NOSB members to vote in favor of extending the deadline. But they got only nine votes).
The nine NOSB members who voted in favor of using tetracycline on organic apples and pears were Carmela Beck of Driscoll, Wendy Fulwider of Organic Valley, Nick Maravell of Nick's Organic Farm, Tracy Favre of Holistic Management International, Harold Austin of Zirkle Fruit Company, John Foster of Earthbound Farm, Joe Dickson of Whole Foods Market, Zea Sonnabend of California Certified Organic Farmers, and Mac Stone of the Kentucky Organic Program.
The NOSB members who voted against using tetracycline in organic were Colehour Bondera of Kanalani Ohana Farm, Jay Feldman of Beyond Pesticides, Francis Thicke of Radiance Dairy, and all three of the NOSB's consumer/public interest advocates, Jean Richardson, Jennifer Taylor and C. Reuben Walker.
When the NOSB votes again this year, this time on whether to get streptomycin out of organic, will we get the votes we need, like we did last year with tetracycline? Maybe not, and here's why.
When the tetracycline vote took place last year, the NOSB members who voted to honor the deadline were operating under the assumption that apple and pear growers might still be able to use tetracycline under certain, extreme circumstances. That's because they knew that after the vote took place on whether or not to extend the deadline, the NOSB planned a separate vote on whether or not to recommend to the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) that it examine whether it could use its authority to allow the use of tetracycline in emergency situations, even if the deadline for getting tetracycline out of organics had passed.
The NOSB voted unanimously to make that recommendation to the NOP. But the NOP came back and said it has no mechanism to establish a federal emergency spray program for fire blight on organic apple and pear orchards through either the Organic Food Production Act or the USDA organic regulations.
The NOP's decision means that emergency or no, organic apple and pear growers can't use tetracycline after Oct. 21, 2014.
Now, the NOP's Crops Subcommittee is recommending that the NOSB vote at its meeting next week (April 29 - May 2, 2014) to extend the deadline for streptomycin, instead of honoring the deadline, as it did for tetracycline.
Given these two developments, it's going to be tougher to get the votes we need to get streptomycin out of organics.
Please tell the NOSB that you oppose extending the deadline for allowing streptomycin in the production of organic apples and pears.

The White Sox in 2012: Nobody Knows for Sure
In a few weeks the White Sox will be firmly embedded in spring training mode trying to assemble a team that's ready to contend in the A.L. Central.
Conventional wisdom says it's going to be a difficult task with the Tigers showing no signs of fading and the Royals and Indians seemingly poised to reach the next level.
You really can't blame the skeptics. As names like Pujols, Fielder, Buehrle, Darvish, Wilson and others have been the talk of the hot stove period, the White Sox made "headlines" with the acquisition of minor league pitchers Nestor Molina, Simon Castro, Pedro Hernandez, Myles Jaye and Daniel Webb while losing known quantities Sergio Santos, Carlos Quentin and Jason Frasor in the process. The only major news was the signing of John Danks, who we all thought was destined to be traded.
It's really easy to look at all this and come to the conclusion that bad things are in store for the 2012 club. But we shouldn't be so quick to judge. With myriad questions, the truth is that we just don't know how the season will manifest.
How will the Ozzie-less Sox be with Robin Ventura at the helm?
Will the Sox survive without Buehrle?
Will Danks pick up where Buehrle left off?
Will an effective closer be found to replace Santos?
Will Adam Dunn, Alex Rios and Gordon Beckham rebound?
Will Alejandro De Aza be a competent major league leadoff hitter?
Will Paul Konerko be Paul Konerko?
Will Jake Peavy be the Cy Young Peavy?
Will Dayan Viciedo live up to the hype and make us forget Quentin?
Will Chris Sale make a successful switch to the starting rotation?
Will Kenny Williams make any more significant deals to upgrade the big league roster?
More than any other year I can remember, it's hard to predict what's in store for all of us this season. We're just going to have to wait and see.

Rating: PG
Length: 126 minutes
Release Date: Nov. 1, 1967
Directed by: Stuart Rosenberg
Genre: Drama/Crime
Stars: 4 out of 5
Plenty of people have had a night of drunken debauchery, where they do things they either don't remember or will wake up the next morning to regret. In the case of Luke Jackson (Paul Newman), the drunkenness led to the destruction of several parking meters, a crime for which he is caught and arrested. He is hauled off to jail, which sets up the rich, emotional story at the heart of "Cool Hand Luke."
Luke is sentenced to hard labor in a chain gang, which is a bit excessive for the crime he committed. Sure, he was guilty of the crime, there is no doubt about that, but a chain gang was usually reserved for hardened criminals with much more serious crimes to their credit. Nonetheless, Luke joins the gang and begins working out in the hot Florida sun, which is oppressive in its own right. There, he meets a fairly motley crew of characters, including Captain (Strother Martin), who is very interested in the fact that Luke served in the military during the Korean War. His record shows that he made it all the way to the rank of Sergeant, but was demoted several times and left the military with the rank of Private. This shows a certain disdain for authority that someone like Captain, who is in charge of the chain gang, doesn't like.
Luke is automatically painted as a troublemaker, a title that nobody in a chain gang wants. It isn't just authority figures like Captain that he has issues with, though. Dragline (George Kennedy, in an Oscar-winning performance) is the head honcho among the prisoners, a point that Luke fails to acknowledge. In doing so, he makes enemies and finds himself in a boxing match with Dragline, who can't help but respect the plucky newcomer for his willfulness and spirit. Luke soon wins Dragline and the rest of the boys over, becoming a hero in their eyes.
He is anything but a hero to Captain and the underlings who help him run the prison camp. The Captain sets out to break Luke's spirit, and nearly succeeds one night when he puts Luke in "the box," which is the camp's version of solitary confinement. He does so because Luke's mother has died, and Captain believes Luke will try to escape for her funeral. This makes Luke more determined than ever to escape, which he does, several times. Each time he is recaptured, his punishments and beatings become progressively crueler. They are so hard that it makes the audience wonder if the authorities might just succeed in breaking him.
Newman received an Oscar nomination for his work in the film, though he would ultimately lose to Rod Steiger, who won for "In the Heat of the Night." Nobody will deny Steiger his Oscar, but Newman's take on Luke was the performance of a lifetime. His take on the classic antihero character was as refreshing as it was impactful. In fact, several actors and screenwriters in subsequent years have said that the film, and particularly Newman's performance, influenced them, making this something of a landmark film.
"Cool Hand Luke" is very much a product of its time, having been made in the 1960s. The 60s are famous for being a time of great change in society, particularly in the United States. Movies about people who were at odds with those changes, or society in general, were not only common, they were downright popular. Films about rebels were also a big deal back then, which makes Luke a character that audiences of the time really wanted to get behind.
One of the best things about the film is that even though it's a product of its time, "Cool Hand Luke" still resonates with audiences years later. A story about someone bucking the system and trying his hardest not to let his spirit be broken is a fairly universal theme that fits nicely into just about any decade. In fact, the film is considered so influential that the National Film Preservation Board added it to the National Film Registry in 2005, citing it as a work of art that is culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.
Due to the fact that it has been honored as a part of the National Film Registry, many people who were born well after 1967 have sought the film out to see what the fuss is about. What this new generation of viewers got was a fantastic story with bravura performances from some fairly legendary actors. Luke Jackson may not be the movie world's first antihero, but he sure had a hand in taking antiheroes to the next level. For that reason alone, "Cool Hand Luke" is worth watching. However, new viewers should be prepared for a film that is more than the sum of its parts, and which may leave them emotionally exhausted afterwards, much like Luke himself.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Rodney Williams with 15 points and eight rebounds as No. 21 Minnesota topped North Florida 87-59 Saturday.
Williams all but three of his points in the second half and Austin Hollins added 12 points for the Gophers (8-1), winners of four straight.
Trevor Mbakwe and Joe Coleman had 11 points each.
Parker Smith led the Ospreys (3-5) with 22 points while connecting on just 6 of 19 attempts, including a 3-for-11 mark from the 3-point line. Travis Wallace added 17.
Minnesota held a double-digit advantage throughout the second half. When North Florida cut its deficit to 10 early in the period, the Gophers went on a 9-0 run capped by a three-point play by Coleman, and led comfortably the rest of the way.
The Gophers blocked a season-high 13 shots, including a career-high four from Andre Hollins and three from Mbakwe. Minnesota also tied a season high with 15 steals.
After hitting its first five attempts of the game, the Ospreys made just five shots on 23 shooting the rest of the first half as the Gophers forced tough looks and 11 North Florida turnovers in the first 20 minutes. Minnesota trailed 18-10 with 11:45 to play in the half, but followed with a 20-3 burst that included a 7 1/2-minute scoreless stretch for the Ospreys. Six of the eight field goals during the Gophers' run were layups or dunks.
Minnesota scored 16 points off turnovers in the first half and used its size advantage to grab 14 offensive rebounds turned into 13 points. The Gophers finished with a season-high 25 offensive boards, ultimately outscoring North Florida 54-24 in the paint.
North Florida committed a season-high 22 turnovers, the most forced by Minnesota this season.
Gophers reserve Andre Ingram was not with the team due to a death in his family.

For the third week in a row, Kate Gosselin and her partner Tony Dovolani were saved to cha cha cha again on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."
The couple survived not only elimination, but even the bottom two, thanks to the viewers' votes.
Tuesday night's bottom two actually included another reality star – former "Bachelor" Jake Pavelka and his professional partner, Chelsie Hightower, as well as former astronaut Buzz Aldrin and his pro, Ashly Costa.
It was the former moon walker and his partner, however, who received the bad news.
"I did this show for the fighter pilots out there, the military people and the elder geezers like me who would just like to see an elder come back week after week," a disappointed Buzz said after learning the news.
The American legend said he was glad to have been on the show to put a focus on the space program.
"I'm interested also in having the public be thankful for the great success we had in the Apollo program and look forward to even greater successes in our future space program," he said. "That's why I came on board — to take the challenge and take the risk and I thank everyone who voted for us."
As for the remaining contestants, including leaderboard topper Evan Lysacek and partner Anna Trebunskaya, and blonde bombshell Pamela Anderson and her partner, Damian Whitewood, the competition will heat up next week.
Starting Monday, each star will receive two scores for their dances, judge Len Goodman revealed. One will be for the pairs' technique, while the other will be given for their performance.
"Season 10 is turning into 'Season Ten-sion,'" Len laughed.
Chad Ochocinco, who revealed he is dancing the rumba next week with partner Cheryl Burke, said he'll be bringing the heat.
"The rumba is the dance of love, so why not just make love on the dance floor," he smiled.

As they are about to tee off at this year's US Open, the question remains simply: Will Tiger Win? Even if you hate Tiger, you're probably asking that. Tiger has had 4 years of no majors. He's been a complete collapse in front of our eyes. He's been a complete idiot, his wife left him, sponsors fired him. And yet, now he's back to #1 in golf and incredibly back to #1 in endorsements. He's certainly not as popular as he was before the incident, at least among the masses. But while there are less Tiger Fans, the depth of love the fans that remain is even more intense. And for any brand, you'd rather be loved by a few than tolerated by everyone.
From 1997, Tiger Woods was the media darling. What a great story.
- His dad was a green beret and taught Tiger all the discipline of the green berets, which Tiger then transferred into the world of golf.
- The video clips of him as a 3-year-old hitting the driver on the Mike Douglas show. Cute kid, who knew he'd one day wind up being TIGER WOODS.
- He was a 3-time US Amateur Champion, a teenager, wearing shorts, skinny, hitting it longer than anyone else.
- Run-away winner of the Masters at 21-years old. With that win, golf got younger, cooler and more urban.
- Tiger signed with Nike of all companies. A cool new line of clothing, cool golf balls and amazing TV ads.
- Every time Tiger was playing in a golf tournament, the TV ratings went through the roof. What you may not realize is the TV network will show every shot that Tiger takes–and likely even cutaway to him arriving and hitting on the range about 3-4 times.
- He was the #1 golfer, indisputably the best ever. Other superstars (Ernie, Phil, David, Sergio) were intimidated and would collapse in fear. By 33, Tiger had 14 Majors, and destined to easily destroy Jack's record of 18.
- He had an impeccably clean image. He was completely wholesome all-american. He was married to a Swedish Model who was a nanny, he had two darling kids. He was nearly flawless. Yes, he was intense on the golf course, but all was forgiven.
This was a bit like Jack Kennedy, where the writers had suspicions, yet no one knew.
The Comeback Story
America loves a comeback story. Tiger's Comeback wasn't exactly smooth. Following his indiscretions that led to the divorce and the sex addiction clinic, Tiger would get far worse before he'd get better. On the course, he was a disaster, duck-hooking, missing short putts, missing cuts and collapsing when he looked like he might win. Off the course, Tiger was a first class JERK. He was rude to fans and reporters. Temper tantrums. He fired his long time Caddy. He fired his swing coach. The wholesome Tiger, who was the face of golf, was now the rude Tiger.
Tiger was a lousy golfer in 2010 and was just OK in 2011. He kept changing his swing. Even the naked eye could see what was wrong with it. At times, it looked like Tiger was done. Late 30s now, might never catch Jack and looking like he was struggling. By 2012, there were signs of Tiger was returning to form. He won a few tournaments, was in contention in the majors. And by 2013, Tiger is back to being Tiger. He's won more than anyone this year, looks back to his dominant self. Yet he still hasn't won a major.
Do you think Tiger will win 5 more majors and beat Jack? Time is ticking.
And as of 2013, Forbes has just announced that Tiger is now the #1 on Forbes' annual ranking of the world's highest-paid athletes. Forbes estimates that Woods pulled in $78.1 million over the last year from prize money, endorsements, appearance fees and golf course design work. After the incidents of 2009, he lost five sponsors, $50 million in annual income, his place atop the world golf rankings and his marriage. His resurgence on the links boosted his prize money over the last 12 months to $13.1 million, double his total from the prior year. His endorsements include EA sports, Nike, Rolex, Upper Deck, TLC Eye Centers, NetJets, Japan's Kowa and sports nutrition firm Fuse Science.
Nike was heavily criticized this spring for an ad they took out:
What's the Brand Lesson Here?
From 1997 to 2009, Tiger was popular among the masses. When he was on TV, non-golf fans would grab a beer and watch. He was liked by nearly everyone. After 2009, he was an embarrassment and sponsors ran. No one seemed to like him. Those that loved Tiger loved him quietly, and were frustrated by his poor on course performance.
I'm not in the Tiger club. But i can feel those around me that are. I can hear and feel the intensity. And the intensity of those hoping he loses is fading.
As we're now in 2013, Tiger is back. While not everyone likes him now, we can certainly see he has a core base of fans who LOVE him. Tiger's brand promise has been simplified to winning golf. He's not trying to be a great guy. He's trying to be an OK guy. But the fans of Tiger just want to see him win. They know he's personally flawed and they really don't care. They are inspired to see the best golfer of all time. It is always far better as a brand to be loved by a few than liked by everyone. That love becomes a source of connection with core fans and a source of power for the Tiger brand. With brand power, Tiger has been able to drive added revenue for himself off the course. More shirts, more video games and more watches. If Tiger wins a major and continues to be "an OK guy", I suspect we'll see a few main stream endorsement deals for Tiger.
Tiger 2.0 is Loved by a few not liked by everyone.

We offer our customers quality plumbing services at affordable pricing. From plumbing repairs to plumbing for new construction including septic tank systems, we are here to help. Let us put our plumbing experience to work for you today.
What Is DIY Plumbing Repair
One common plumbing problem that often occurs at the most inconvenient of times is a clogged drain. Many [post_name] home owners are tempted to reach for a bottle of their favorite drain cleaner - they are easy to use, supposed to be quick, and you don't have to get your hands dirty. The problem with quick fixes - as with many things in life - is that the quick fix may not be the best.
Most drain cleaners these days will not damage your plumbing when properly used. The key is to make sure that you use them properly. If your home has a septic system, make sure that any cleaner specifies it is safe for use in septic systems. Different types of drain clog removers may target different types of problems and have different instructions, make sure you follow them to get the maximum effectiveness.
Sometimes a liquid cleaner will not be enough to take care of the problem. A number of years ago we received a lesson in what not to put down your food disposal - cantaloupe rinds. The disposal had no problem grinding them up, but a few feet down the drain they re-assembled into am impassable clog.
The first attempt was the faithful old plunger. A plunger works on the concept of hydraulic pressure (simply put, you cannot compress a liquid) to move the blockage. The problem with this approach in a kitchen or bathroom sink is that the drain may not be the only outlet - there are often multiple drains and/or overflow connections which make a plunger useless in these cases
The next step was to try and remove the sink trap. Once you get to this phase, you need to make sure you have a bucket and a few towels handy. If you had previously attempted to clear the clog using a chemical drain cleaner you need to be careful here as there may still be residue in the sink, pipes, or trap. Before removing the trap, make sure to drain as much of the sink water as you can.
A couple problems to be aware of with these systems: If you have PVC drain fittings (as many sinks do), you better make sure you connections are good - if there are any minor leaks or loose fittings you are likely to end up with a sprinkler system under your sink. From personal experience there is one other problem you may run into. When you turn off the hose, the pressure that previously swelled the nozzle to hold it in place is gone - however there is still water and pressure in both the line and the nozzle. The results similar to shaking up a soda bottle and removing the cap - it makes a great funny story to tell you friends in hindsight, but it's not quite so funny when you are mopping up the kitchen.
Finally, if none of the above have worked, it is time to call in the professionals. As I have noted in previous articles, a good [post_name] plumbing contractor is worth every penny they charge you. Most will not only help you out with your problem but will also suggest how you can prevent it in the future and if necessary point out problems that need to be addressed.
The Pros and Cons of Electric Tankless Water Heaters
Septic tank systems are common in rural areas. Homes that are not attached to a municipal sewer system use these as a form of sewage treatment. A septic system carries the waste from a home into the septic tank. Regular maintenance and checks are required to keep it all working the way it should. Over a period of time, the sludge builds up in the container. It is necessary to pump out this sludge and keep the tank working the way it should.
Symptoms Of A Choked Septic Tank.
There are some distinct symptoms that indicate a sludge build up and you will need to hire the services of a reliable septic tank cleaning company in [post_name] to have it cleaned out once every few years. These personnel are trained in carrying out sewage treatment and pumping. You should call them the minute you detect foul odor in the vicinity of your home. Water accumulation in the yard or above the container is another indicator that there is a blockage. Do not delay in calling them the minute you notice any of these indicators.
Professional cleaning companies have trucks that have powerful vacuums attached to them. They carry out the job in an efficient manner. The tank will have some water in it even when the sludge has been cleaned out. This is very normal and cleaning the tank regularly is very important.

Lead your lalpaca and have fun as he, or she, enjoys the trek with you, stopping to nibble on favourite leaves. Among other things these animals are bred for trekking and will happily walk beside you, peacefully accepting your commands without too much fuss.
You will lead the lalpacas on a leisurely stroll, learning about the farm, area and wildlife, interesting facts about llamas and alpacas.

Alternative Dispute Resolution in Family Law Devon
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in the course of settling disputes without litigation through methods like arbitration, mediation, or negotiation. ADR processes are less expensive and quick. They have come in vogue in the last few decades and are being preferred over general litigation including labour disputes and family disputes.
ADR is preferred over general litigation over several matters such as:-
1. General litigation is a costly procedure, whereas ADR is relatively a cheaper solution. General litigation takes a long time. This makes litigation process a costly affair whereas ADR is cost-efficient in nature.
2. ADR is one process which takes place behind closed doors in a hushed up manner. The decision taken is not revealed to a third party. This ensures confidentiality and the fact that one doesn't have to wash one's dirty linen in the public. General litigation, on the other hand, is one process where everything takes place in an open court. This means everyone comes to know about the final decision and no privacy is maintained.
3. Under ADR, there is no favouritism or nepotism of any kind, this means, the parties involved can be sure of a fair trial. General litigation on a hand involves a lot of beurocracy.
4. ADR is one process which doesn't take much time. This is particularly beneficial where children are involved, mainly because of the fact this in a way doesn't hamper their studies and safe guars their future. General litigation on the other hand takes much time and leads to an adverse effect on the children involved.
Let's discuss the three variances of ADR. They are as follows:-
1. Mediation-
Mediation is an arrangement of property, finance, child custody etc between disputing parties through mutual discussion. AS discussed above mediation is a cheaper process than general litigation and doesn't take much time. This makes mediation a much easier process. This is particularly beneficial where children are concerned. This is one process that safeguards the future of the children.
2. Arbitration-
Arbitration is a new approach to settlement of the financial dispute, parental dispute, children custody, divorces, etc. Arbitration is different from general litigation on this point that during arbitration, the parties involved can choose their arbitrator.
3. Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE) –
Under this method, the disputing couples can consult an evaluator, who gives an early neutral evaluation based on their knowledge on law and gives evaluation similar to what a solicitor would give in a court of law Devon.

Need to spruce up your sex life? Go vegan, betches! 😉 Diet does indeed play a role in your sexy affairs. Even if you're already having lots of awesome sex, get ready to take your bow chicka wow wowin' to a whole other level! (Disclaimer: TMI alert – for mature audiences)
- Veganism helps increase blood flow – Meat consumption can prevent proper blood flow (ahem, even downstairs) and can lead to clogged arteries. Vegan diet→increased blood flow→more intense orgasms. SCIENCE! 😉
- Vegans taste better – I know you've probably heard this one before, and that because it's TRUE! People who eat meat and dairy have more of an acidic, ammonia smell and taste to their bodily fluids (don't wanna creep y'all out, but I can personally vouch for this). In case you wanna do a lil' research, clickity-clack here. ← more SCIENCE! Solution: eat a clean diet with lots of fruits and veggies, and if you really wanna sweeten things up a bit, try eating some pineapple before doing the deed. It'll give your give your sexy juices a sweet flavor and help counteract any acidic taste.
- Vegans smell better – Yep, taste and smell go hand-in-hand on this one. According to a study on the "effect of meat consumption on body odor attractiveness" published by the National Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Health: "Results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the odor of donors when on the non-meat diet was judged as significantly more attractive, more pleasant, and less intense. This suggests that red meat consumption has a negative impact on perceived body odor hedonicity." SCIENCE strikes again, beyotch!
- Vegans have more energy – This one is kind of a duh. A diet high in animal protein will increase your cholesterol, clog your arteries, and make you feel meh. Fresh produce gets your blood pumpin' and makes you feel ALIVE! Get the science on this ish here!
- Vegans tend to have a healthier body and body image – Vegan food, by default, is animal fat-free and cholesterol-free. Vegans, on average, tend to be healthier (read: increased confidence while naked) than meat-eaters and are less prone to heart disease, strokes, diabetes, obesity and cancer. Taking care of one's health, IMHO, is the ultimate turn-on.
While we're on the topic of sex, be sure to read VBR's Top 10 Vegan Aphrodisiacs! xoxo

I love this! I 100% agree with the odor/taste!
Hahaha. I rarely comment. Not as much as I should. But this is all so true. It's worth going vegan on so many levels.

Wizards Announce 2013-14 Schedule
August 6, 2013
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Washington Wizards announced their 2013-14 regular season schedule today, including their home opener on Friday, Nov. 1, against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Wizards tip off the season on the road when they visit the Pistons on Wednesday, Oct. 30, in Detroit. Overall, the Wizards will play 22 of their 41 home games on the weekend (Friday-Sunday), with 20 of those coming on Friday (7 games) and Saturday (13 games).
Highlights of the 2013-14 schedule include visits from the 2013 NBA Champion Miami Heat on Jan. 15 and Apr. 14, the Brooklyn Nets on Nov. 8 and Mar. 15, the lone visits of the New York Knicks (Nov. 23), Los Angeles Clippers (Dec. 14), Los Angeles Lakers (Nov. 26), Houston Rockets (Jan. 11) and the Oklahoma City Thunder (Feb. 1) and a nationally-televised game against Cleveland on February 7 (ESPN). The Wizards will also host two holiday games this season, including a New Year's Day matchup against the Dallas Mavericks and a Martin Luther King Day matinee against the Philadelphia 76ers. The home finale will take place on April 14 when the Wizards host the Heat prior to finishing the season with a road game at Boston on April 16.
The Wizards will have two five-game homestands during the season and will host two sets of back-to-back home games (Jan. 17/18 vs. Chicago/Detroit and Mar. 28/29 vs. Indiana/Atlanta).

|Bear in the Big Blue House
|September 20, 2002
|Written by
|P. Kevin Strader
|Dean Gordon
Pip and Pop are eager to introduce Bear and everyone at the Big Blue House to Rocko --- an old friend of theirs that they haven't seen in a long time. On the way to pick him up, they describe him to Bear as being a bit shy, so it comes as a big surprise when the Rocko they meet up with turns out to be full of energy --- singing and dancing and raring to go. Indeed, it seems like Rocko's going to be a lot of fun at first, but then he starts trying to play games that everyone's uncomfortable with and behaving rudely. Suddenly, nobody wants to play with Rocko, but Bear wonders if Rocko is hiding something behind his "cool" personality.
- Rocko Rocks
- What a Good Friend I Could Be
- Everyone goes to the movies to see Hare, starring puppets from The Tale of the Bunny Picnic. The title of the movie is a spoof on the title of the hit Broadway musical, Hair.
- When telling Bear about the movie Hare, Lois tells him that Roger Ebert says that it captures an important moment in bunny culture and goes on to say that he gives it a "great big wing up."
- The name of the game that Rocko suggests in this episode, "William, Don't Tell" is a reference to the Swiss hero William Tell who was the reference for the famous "William Tell Overture."

Ju Teng lifts productivity by 50%, thanks to CimatronE
Givat Shmuel, Israel – June 10, 2013 – Cimatron Limited (NASDAQ: CIMT) today announced the successful deployment of 400 seats of its integrated CAD/CAM solution CimatronE at the Ju Teng Group, which is one of the world's largest mold makers, claiming a third of the global market for notebook casings.
"Our adoption of CimatronE for our mold design, electrode and NC programming has enabled us to reduce costs and double our work capacity while maintaining our existing staff levels, and we can now provide our customers better quality molds delivered much more quickly," said Mr Luorongde, Vice President of the Ju Teng Group.
Ju Teng International Holdings is one of the world's largest producers of casings for electronic goods, claiming over 30% of the international market for the manufacture of notebook casings. With factories across mainland China and Taiwan, its tier-one customers include Acer, Asus, Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Sony and Toshiba.
Ju Teng began working with CimatronE in 2004 for electrode design and NC programming. Following a company-wide review, in 2010 Ju Teng decided to shift its mold design operations to CimatronE, and today the company hosts over 400 seats of the software.
"The benefits of shifting over our entire design and production to CimatronE were obvious," said Mr Luorongde.
"CimatronE offered strong capabilities for our mold making needs and allowed all of our CAD and CAM processes to be performed with the one software. Working in a 3D environment and using CimatronE's analysis tools, our staff has been able to accurately design molds for production, practically eliminating the need for trial-and-error on the shop floor. We've even been able to close one of our departments that was responsible for repairing mistakes in machined molds."
"It's always a risk for a company of our size to move all of our operations to a new software, particularly given the burden of implementation and training. However, Cimatron China provided an outstanding level of support during the process, with onsite training and technical assistance, as well as a willingness to work closely with us at all stages to ensure that the transition was as smooth as possible."
The deployment of CimatronE has provided Ju Teng with results such as the following:
- As a single solution for both design and NC programming, CimatronE has eliminated the need for data translation between the CAD and NC departments. No data is lost and programmers no longer need to fix design errors, leading to major time savings and drastically reducing the number of mistakes.
- CimatronE files can contain product manufacturing information, further improving collaboration between departments.
- CimatronE's concurrent engineering capabilities mean that two or more designers can work on the same mold on different sub-assemblies, or one designer can work on the parting while the other works on the mold design. NC programming can begin while a mold is still being designed.
- As a 3D software with dedicated mold design tools, a rich set of analysis tools, and simulation, CimatronE has enabled the design and manufacturing of molds of the highest quality.
- The CimatronE ECO application has greatly improved Ju Teng's ability to manage the many ECOs it receives from customers.
- A hybrid solid surface environment for mending and parting has also helped to speed up the design process and ensured optimal quality.
"Our move to CimatronE was the best business decision we have ever made," said Mr Luorongde.

Francine Shore, CLYT, New York: Sometime back in December, 2012, I conducted a Laughter Yoga session at Hurricane Sandy Stress relief at a Community College on Long Island, New York that was housing the residents, who had lost their homes due to the hurricane.
At the camp we had a small group of about 6 female residents and 1 child, who participated and Laughter Yoga once again proved to be a very effective tool for treating acute PTS reactions. It offered the residents a chance to respond to loss in a more positive and playful way by letting go of a situation they had no control over.
The positive response and benefits were measured immediately by written evaluations and a verbal Q & A after the workshop. The residents were able to learn effective coping skills, through Laughter Yoga techniques and play that included: Diaphragmatic Laughter Yoga exercises, deep breathing, stretching, movement and a seated Laughter Meditation. This offered them a unique and fun way in coming to terms with their stress relief due to the PTSS.
In spite of this traumatic situation of loss, Laughter Yoga allowed people to give themselves permission to laugh in the face of adversity and trauma. These residents all described feeling a restored sense of hope, energy, and less physical pain. And, in the gibberish exercise they found a healthy and playful outlet to express their anger. While integrating these Laughter Yoga techniques, the PTS residents learned to have the capacity for joy and playfulness in the context of a tragedy. Conversely, a few also accessed their tears, which were suppressed-and this helped them to dissipate the trauma.
The Red Cross Laughter Yoga workshop consisted of a male and female staff of about 30 people. These workers had been housed in less than optimal conditions for over 1month, helping thousands of residents affected by Hurricane Sandy providing them with emotional support, meals, medicalneeds, housing, and tending to the plethora of disaster relief issues.
This level of stress, left most of the staff thoroughly exhausted, depressed, anxious, angry and physically and emotionally stressed out, themselves. Nobody, was there to tend to their needs and offer them the stress relief, they so desperately needed. At that point, they were up for almost any kind of stress relief.
They, eased comfortably while going with the flow of Laughter Yoga. The transformation on their faces, and physicality was remarkable. The positive results were also measured by written evaluations, which included an assessment scale and a Q & A session. When going around the room, during the Q & A, the words used to describe their transformation were as follows:
what back pain?, I feel so much lighter-like a new person, I feel morepresent and calmer, no more pain in my shoulders and knees , lessstressed, lessfatigued ,not as angry, ready to play, more alert, tired ,but calm and relaxed, less depressed-more hopeful, like a weight had been lifted. And many more!
It as a joy to witness how stress, pain, depression and negative emotions are lifted and transcended through Laughter Yoga!

Rosemont, Ill – Fallen snow must be cleared regularly to ensure pedestrian and driver safety. However, if done improperly, shoveling or snow blower use can cause serious injury to the back, shoulders, hands or feet.
According to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission:
- In 2010, more than 148,000 people were treated in hospital emergency rooms, doctors' offices, clinics and other medical settings for injuries sustained while shoveling or otherwise removing ice and snow manually.
- In that same year, more than 21,500 were injured using snow blowers.
- Types of injuries can include sprains and strains, particularly in the back and shoulders, as well as lacerations and finger amputations.
"Shoveling snow involves a lot of bending, heavy lifting and repetitive motion," says Roxanne Wallace, MD, orthopaedic surgeon and spokesperson for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). "For older Americans, and individuals who do not regularly exercise, shoveling can cause pain and injury to the back, and shoulder and arm muscles, and increase the risk for a heart attack."
For individuals who feel they are physically healthy enough to shovel, Dr. Wallace suggests taking frequent rest breaks, and drinking plenty of water and fluids. If you feel pain, stop shoveling, and find a friend, family member or professional to resume the task.
Using a snow blower is not as physically taxing as shoveling; however, the rapid, powerful blades of a running snow blower have the potential to severely injure hands or feet.
"Hands or feet should be kept away from the undersurface of a running snow blower at all times," added Dr. Wallace. "And do not ever use your hands to address a jammed snow blower. Even if the machine is powered off, the blades may rotate forcefully after the jam is cleared, potentially causing injury. Children should never be allowed to operate or touch a snow blower. Snow blowers should not be used when children are nearby."
The AAOS has recommendations to help you stay safe while clearing snow:
- Check with your doctor. Because this activity places high stress on the heart, speak with your physician first. If you have a medical condition or do not exercise regularly, consider hiring someone to remove the snow.
- Dress appropriately. Light, layered, water-repellent clothing provides both ventilation and insulation. It is also important to wear the appropriate hat, as well as mittens or gloves and thick, warm socks. Take a break if you feel yourself getting too hot or too cold.
- See what you are shoveling/snow blowing. Make sure that your hat or scarf does not block your vision. Expect icy patches and uneven surfaces. Avoid falls by wearing shoes or boots that have slip-resistant soles.
- Clear snow early and often. Begin when a light covering of snow is on the ground to avoid trying to clear packed, heavy snow. If the snow is wet, lift smaller, lighter amounts with each shovel load.
- Pace yourself. Take frequent breaks and replenish fluids to prevent dehydration. If you experience chest pain, shortness of breath or other signs of a heart attack, seek emergency care, such as by calling 9-1-1.
- Use a shovel that is comfortable for your height and strength. Do not use a shovel that is too heavy or too long for you. Consider buying a shovel that is specially designed to prevent too much stooping. Space your hands on the tool grip to increase your leverage.
- Push the snow instead of lifting it, as much as you can. If you must lift, take small amounts of snow, and lift it with your legs: Squat with your legs apart, knees bent and back straight. Lift by straightening your legs, without bending at the waist. Then walk to where you want to dump the snow; holding a shovelful of snow with your arms outstretched puts too much weight on your spine.
- Do not throw the snow over your shoulder or to the side. This requires a twisting motion that stresses your back.
Snow blowing:
- Never stick your hands or feet in the snow blower! If snow becomes impacted, stop the engine and wait at least five seconds. Use a solid object to clear wet snow or debris from the chute. Beware of the recoil of the motor and blades after the machine has been turned off.
- Do not leave the snow blower unattended when it is running. Shut off the engine if you must walk away from the machine.
- Watch the snow blower cord. If you are operating an electric snow blower, be aware of where the power cord is at all times, so you do not trip and fall.
- Add fuel before starting the snow blower. Never add fuel when the engine is running or hot. Do not operate the machine in an enclosed area.
- Read the instruction manual. Prior to using a snow blower, read the instruction manual for specific safety hazards, unfamiliar features, and whenever attempting to repair or maintain the snow blower.

Working in healthcare the frequency of poor decision making when it comes to end of life decisions and choices has made many a good healthcare provider change careers. It becomes an ethical dilemma when patients are coerced into major procedures when the outcome will be poor regardless of the intervention. Many times it is because of poor communication between the patient, their family and the caring physicians. This can largely be prevented through advanced care planning. Effective communication between the patient or legally designated decision-maker and health care professionals ensures decisions are sound and based on the patient's understanding their medical condition, their prognosis, the benefits and burdens of the life-sustaining treatment and their personal goals for care.
The discussion should include what interventions would you agree to, what do you want to avoid? What do you want your family to know. Decisions include CPR, life support, respirators, tube feedings, surgical procedures, pain management, medications, skilled nursing facilities, hospice. How do you choose to spend your final days? At the bottom of this post you will find many wonderful resources to help you in decision making, and communication with family and physicians.
