WEDNESDAY, July 31 (HealthDay News) -- Older adults suffering from anemia -- lower than normal red blood cell levels -- may be at increased risk for dementia, a new study suggests.
Anemia affects as many as 23 percent of seniors, the researchers say.
"We found a 60 percent increased risk of dementia with anemia. After controlling for other factors such as other medical illness, demographics, etcetera, the risk remained elevated 40 to 50 percent," said lead study author Dr. Kristine Yaffe, a professor of psychiatry, neurology and epidemiology at the University of California, San Francisco.
"Given how common both anemia and dementia are in older adults, more attention to the connection between the two is important, and I do think screening older adults for anemia makes sense," said Yaffe.
The study of more than 2,500 men and women in their 70s doesn't actually prove that anemia causes dementia, however.
"Because we studied this prospectively, we do think, as best we can tell, that anemia is causally related to dementia, but with observational studies one can never say for sure. But we did our best to exclude other explanations," Yaffe said.
The job of red blood cells is to carry oxygen throughout the body. When you are anemic, less oxygen is delivered to brain cells, Yaffe explained. "We think the association is about low oxygen being carried to the brain," she said.
Anemia could also indicate poor overall health, the study authors noted. Causes of anemia include iron deficiency and blood loss. Cancer, kidney failure and certain chronic diseases can also lead to anemia.
The study -- published online July 31 in Neurology -- should remind doctors that many conditions can lead to dementia, and treating them might ward off mental decline, one expert said.
"One concern about the increased visibility and prevalence of Alzheimer's disease is that some physicians will be tempted to jump straight to that diagnosis without first having followed the 'rule out reversible causes' rule," said Dr. Sam Gandy, director of the Mount Sinai Center for Cognitive Health in New York City. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia.
"We must always seek to exclude treatable, reversible causes of dementia such as depression, nutritional deficiencies, endocrine disorders and metabolic disorders before rushing into a diagnosis of Alzheimer's," he said.
During the study, all of the participants were tested for anemia and took memory and thinking tests over 11 years.
Almost 400 participants were anemic at the study's start. Over the course of the study, about 18 percent of participants -- 455 -- developed dementia, the researchers found.
Of participants with anemia, 23 percent developed dementia, compared with 17 percent of those who weren't anemic.
People who were anemic at the study's start had a 41 percent higher risk of developing dementia than those without anemia after the researchers took into account factors such as age, race, sex and education.
Additional research is needed to confirm this association before recommendations are made regarding dementia prevention, the study authors suggested.

503A MEGA DEAL Specs
People Who Bought Track 503A MEGA DEAL Also Bought:
Get ready for supreme angularity on lighter oil patterns without the ball burning up too soon. Get this look with the Track 503A!
Manufacturer's Intent: When we designed the 503A, we were looking for something that would complement our other offerings in the 500 series. The 508A, which was released last spring, offered the reaction people expect from our "A" series with a touch stronger read of the mid-lane. With the 503A, we wanted to go with the traditional skid/flip type of reaction.
Core: When choosing the core design to go into this new 500 series release, it only made sense to continue using our Packman Core which has been so succesful in both our 503C and 503T. We hadn't used this core with a skid/flip type of coverstock yet, so anticipation was high by everyone involved in the process.
Cover: The 503A marks the first time we have used our new Gen MA (Moderate Angle) cover. This cover creates less friction in the oil compared to our Gen XA (Xtra Angle) cover, found on our 706A. By offering a cleaner reaction through the front part of the lane, the 503A is able to maintain its angular back end reaction on lighter oil patterns.
Finish: The final step that completes the ball development process is the finish. Having the right finish allows for the perfect combination of core and cover to shine for a wide variety of bowling styles. For the 503A, we went with 800/1000/2000 Abralon which was then polished with our Powerhouse Factory Finish. This finish process allows for easy length on medium to light oil patterns and allows for plenty of movement at the back end of the lane.
Overall: The 503A will quickly become the ball of choice for bowlers of all styles looking for a strong angular motion at the back end of the lane on medium to light oil patterns. This will be attributed to the combination of our Packman Core and Gen MA cover. This one has both the performance and the looks!

Writing Secure Programs
The main focus of most writing about security is network security and physical security. Not much is written about writing secure programs. A lot of what you need to write secure programs is common sense, but due to time constraints and design shortcuts, it is rarely used. Any good programmer knows the concepts but usually does not have the time to implement them; there is a lot of pressure to produce a lot of code and get the project done.
In the early 1970s, the concept of structured programming was alive. Not only was the program structured but the whole project had structure; there were technical specifications, design specifications, detail design specifications, design walk-throughs and code walk-throughs. This made projects bigger and longer, but when finished, the code was debugged easily and often worked with few changes. Some of these projects took many years to produce. However, there was little external influence from networks, the Web and time to market.
Today, a lot of the structured development process has literally disappeared. But security starts with the design of the program or application and depends on coding standards established by the organization where the work is being done.
It is very unlikely that any code will be 100% secure; no code ever is. But, what can be done to make sure code is solid and secure? This article offers some ideas on what to consider and explains three tools to help write secure code. When designing and implementing an embedded system, more care is required for the coding. With the assistance of the tools in the Resources section, a lot of coding errors can be checked. The ultimate judge of secure code is left up to the implementer of the code and the ability of the implementer to understand what is secure.
Every function returns some type of status, returned either directly or as part of errno. Checking these should be simple. In C++, the exception-handling capability is easy to use but can be complicated to set up. Exception handling has improved greatly over the past few years, once the C++ standard was finalized. When practical, it should be used. Previous practice had been to ignore errors, because it was thought the data being passed was valid. This has been proven to be a bad assumption.
Data buffer overflows have led to many security fixes in the past years. When writing for an embedded system, checking for error returns is important. Decisions need to be made about whether the error is benign and can be ignored. If the error is not benign, maybe it can be corrected. If it cannot be corrected, does the system perform a soft reset or a hard reset? In some cases a soft reset, causing the action in error to be restarted, is all that is required. This is the basis for some fault-tolerant systems. Depending on the type of device, a hard reset may not be a bad thing. Other times, some form of recovery is a must.
Instead of using sprintf, strcpy and strcat, use functions like strncpy and strncat. These functions make sure the buffer does not overflow and discard any excess. Do not use fgets when reading data, as this allows overflows. These may seem like simple changes, but they are easy to forget, as is string handling, one of the most exploited areas of programs. Automated test programs check for these problems quite nicely, but the tests can be misleading. Some uses of the string function may be flagged as a problem but prove to be fine in the context where used. This is where the ability and knowledge of the implementer plays an important role. The logs generated by the tools need to be scanned to determine what code has been flagged and needs to be changed.
Memory leaks in and of themselves do not necessarily create security risks. However, they can be exploited if the memory is shared by several procedures and structures.
Buffer overflows are by far the most common security issue. If a buffer is allocated on the stack, it can be overflowed to wipe out or change the return address of a function. When a function returns then, it returns to the new address instead of to the proper address. Some buffer attacks also can occur on the heap. These are more difficult to create, but they still can be done. Programs written in C are most vulnerable to these attacks, but any language that provides low-level memory access and pointer arithmetic can be problematic. Pointer arithmetic is one area that should have bounds checking.
The GNU C compiler has an extension available, which needs to be included when the compiler is built, that implements bounds checking. It is used as an option that adds code to the program. During testing, the code can be turned on and used. During deployment the code would not be present. The reason the code should be turned off is it prints messages when the bounds are breached. If the system in place is a workstation, the messages can be left on, but an embedded system typically has no console.
An idea that might occur here is all the buffers should be statically allocated; then the problem goes away. In truth, the notion that a buffer is of fixed length can be exploited. The data being moved to the buffer still can be longer than the buffer. When it is moved it overflows, and the same problem happens. To lower the risk, the data movement should move up only to the maximum allowed for the buffer. Dynamic reallocation of strings permits programs to handle inputs of arbitrary sizes. The problem with this is the program could run out of memory. On an embedded system, such a mistake is fatal. On a workstation, the virtual memory system may start to thrash and create a performance bottleneck. In C++, the std::string class has the dynamic growth approach. If the class' data is turned into a char * pointer, a buffer overflow can happen. Other string libraries may not have these problems, but the implementer needs to be aware of the limitations.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Read more about the WHO's technical statement here
The Alliance is clear that male and female condom use is the only way to prevent both unwanted pregnancy and protect against HIV. Women have the right to make informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health using the most up to date and accurate information.
Yet this is not a new debate. Each year, 200 million women in the world become pregnant, and approximately 2.5 million of these women are HIV-positive.
HIV alone accounts for more than 61,000 maternal deaths annually and in 2009, 370,000 children were newly infected with HIV (that's 1,000 every day).
In fact, Millennium Development Goal 5, to improve maternal health, is one of the most off-track.
These developments force us to take a closer looking at the relationship between family planning, sexual and reproductive rights and HIV prevention in order to increase the availability, quality and access to family planning for men and women both living with and affected by HIV and AIDS.
In the past many HIV and family planning services have operated independently. There is a welcome shift and recognition that when done together, in partnership, there are stronger health benefits for women and their families.
Women have the right to choose the method of family planning and be protected from HIV and STIs. Those of us working in HIV and sexual and reproductive health have a responsibility to ensure that women have timely, accessible and accurate information about the safety and effectiveness of both family planning methods and STI and HIV prevention.
The Alliance is working with Marie Stopes International (MSI) to join up family planning services with HIV prevention, care and treatment services. It's an exciting partnership that will see women able to access comprehensive information and quality referrals for their sexual and reproductive health and HIV needs in a number of countries.
At the heart of the good practice protocols developed by the Alliance and MSI on integrating HIV services into MSI's existing family planning services it clearly states that women must have access to a comprehensive range of sexual and reproductive health and HIV services.
This is particularly important as effective and quality family planning must include dual protection. Women, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, primarily use longer lasting, invisible methods of contraception such as the hormonal injectables and implants but these methods need to be used together with male or female condoms. Only condoms protect against both unintended pregnancy, HIV and other STIs.
It is vital that women can protect themselves from HIV. We know biologically women are more vulnerable to HIV and this is compounded by poverty, poor education and gender inequality. While global HIV infection rates may have fallen, the numbers of women living with HIV have increased in every region of the world.
Joining up family planning and HIV services (with a focus on community outreach) can result in increased effectiveness, efficiency and value for money through less duplication of effort and competition for scarce resources.
The Alliance's experience of mobilising community based referral systems in countries like Uganda, Kenya, India and South Sudan on HIV, maternal and newborn child health and sexual and reproductive health has demonstrated how more people can receive accurate information and quality services.
Husband and wife, Amon and Mwenzi Banda, get their information from Bwafwano, a clinic in the outskirts of Lusaka, Zambia. "I learned about family planning after my first born,the clinic advised me about this," says Mwenzi.
Bwafwano's community health workers also visit the couples' area. "They bring condoms to the house," says Amon. "I've learned a lot about HIV and pregnancy." You can read more about Amon and Mwenzi here.
As the policy and technical debates ebb and flow we must remember that it is women who are at the centre of it all.
Women must be able to access and choose from the full range of contraceptive methods to prevent unintended pregnancies and also protect themselves from HIV and STIs whoever they are, wherever they live, whether they are rich or poor.

The state senator who proposed that the Bibb County school board lose its tax levying authority is standing firm, despite objections by Bibb County commissioners.
In an e-mail Friday night, state Sen. Cecil Staton asked one question of elected officials who oppose his proposal: What is your solution?
On Wednesday, Staton called a news conference, saying he planned to file a bill that would give the new Macon-Bibb County Commission final say on the school boards budget and tax levy. He cited dysfunction on the school board as one of the reasons for his proposal.
Friday morning, by a 4-1 vote, Bibb commissioners passed a resolution objecting to Statons bill. Commissioners said that since voters had given that authority to the school board in 2004, they thought the proposal should be put back before voters for their say rather than the change being made through legislation. They also said the new governing body would have challenges of its own without inheriting another complex budget to digest.
In his e-mail response, Staton said the school board needs to hear a clear message from the community.
Why do the parents and students in our public schools have to wait any longer? he asked. Someone must do something. As I said at the press conference earlier this week, this is not a perfect solution. But it is what was done prior to 2004. ... The School Board needs to take action to set us on a course toward educational excellence and success for Bibb County schools and students. If they dont act, we must step up to the plate. To do nothing is not a solution.
Staton said he was calling on all elected officials as well as community and business leaders to come together to find solutions that will return confidence and positive results to our schools and to remove all obstacles that stand in the way of that success.

Cambria Somerset Authority officials have soured on an offer to lease some Quemahoning Dam acreage for maple sugar harvesting.
After spending several months exploring the idea and receiving a second offer to tap the trees, the board voted Thursday to pass. The plan would have tied up too much valuable timber acreage, authority members said.
Not only would putting taps on maple trees within a 150-acre section of the authority's land reduce the value of those trees, forester Michael Barton told the board at its meeting, but such leases also would prevent the harvesting of cherry, oak and ash trees in the same woods.
"Between the maple trees and the cherry, oak and others ... you're potentially talking $350,000 conservatively," Barton said, noting the price for one species could spike at any moment and the board would need to be in a position to react.
With emerald ash borer beetle infestations moving eastward into Cambria County and quickly killing ash trees, the authority will almost certainly need to act soon to harvest those trees or risk losing them altogether, Barton added.
"The (maple syrup) plan seemed like a good one," board member Mark Wissinger said. "But it kinda seems like we're opening up a can of worms."
Michael Rosey of Hooversville initially approached the authority in September about putting taps on trees and collecting sap for syrup over a 10-year period. He proposed a contract that would have paid $93,750 over the life of the deal, based on 12,500 taps.
The board considered the offer, but authority manager Earl Waddell noted the board would have needed to offer the acreage for lease to any interested parties because of the significant value.
The idea had attracted another syrup producer, but the board opted to avoid taking the offer any further.
"It was worth exploring," the board's chairman, Jim Greco, said. "There was just too much involved."

ART-2007 FYS: Comix Go Legit: Contemporary Graphic Novels
3 credits
Prerequisite: First-year students only.
One could argue that cave paintings were the first comics, but this course focuses on the most recent graphic novels, including award winning works by Art Spiegelman, Marjane Satrapi, Chris Ware, Daniel Clowes, Alison Bechdel and many more. In addition to reading masterworks, we will study the history of comics and the many uses of comics, including advertising and animation. Students will also design their own comics, and produce a limited edition graphic of their own work. Drawing is only one way to approach this, but not the only way- photographers, writers, collage artists and stick-figure maestros are all welcome. This is a first-year seminar course and meets the First-Year Seminar requirement of the GECC.

Could investors in Seattle-based Fisher Communications be getting a little restless? The small broadcasting company recently disclosed it had received an unsolicited takeover offer from an unnamed party, which it turned down saying it wasn't in the best interests of its shareholders.
Soon after, FrontFour Capital, a large shareholder, made public a stiff letter it sent to the company, expressing disappointment at the board's unwillingness to engage in talks with the potential buyer. FrontFour, a New York-based hedge fund, said Fisher shareholders have suffered a 30 percent loss in the value of their holdings, even as the company spent money on acquisitions that have added little value. Fisher shares are down 38 percent since their 52-week high of about $51.99 August.
FrontFour also threatened "potential courses of action," such as calling a special shareholders' meeting or running a proxy fight at next year's annual meeting.
Activist investor Mario Gabelli, whose Gamco Investors is Fisher's largest shareholder with about 19 percent of the stock, has publicly held off on commenting so far. But a Gabelli & Co research note also suggested that Fisher's recent "disclosure of interest" may help put the company in play. Gabelli analyst Barry Lucas said the takeover offer of $43 to $45 a share, which values Fisher at about $384 million, was a "low-ball bid," and estimated $60 a share to be a more reasonable price.
Fisher might have a pacifier in hand for investors, though. The company, which owns several television and radio stations in the Northwest, is likely to come into some money — Lucas estimated roughly $273 million, just short of its current $291 million market value — soon from the sale of some assets. In May, Fisher said it might put up Fisher Plaza, a piece of real estate in downtown Seattle, for sale. Fisher will also get a neat chunk of cash from the sale of its stake of Safeco, which is being bought by insurer Liberty Mutual. While Lucas said this windfall should pump up Fisher's value, the company might choose to deploy the cash to pay a dividend or make another acquisition if it doesn't want to be bought.

Boy Scouts of America is considering changing its longstanding policy against allowing openly gay members, according to a news release from the organization Monday.
Under the change now being discussed, local Councils would be able to decide for themselves how to address the issue — either maintaining an exclusion of gays or opening up their membership.
Monday's announcement of the possible change comes after years of protests over the policy — including petition campaigns that have prompted some corporations to suspend donations to the Boy Scouts.
Let Patch save you time. Get great local stories like this delivered right to your inbox or smartphone everyday with our free newsletter. Simple, fast sign-up here.
In Sept. 2012, Patch reported to the executive director of Knox Trail Council of Boy Scouts, based in Framingham, stating they have and will continue to ignore the anti-gay policy of Boy Scouts of America.
Pack 12 invites the participation of all interested 6- to 11-year old boys and their parents or guardians, without regard to sexual orientation. We urge the Knox Trail Council to adopt a similar stance on behalf of all of the MetroWest area districts."
The Council represents Framingham and 20 other communities in Massachusetts. No decision was ever announced. And in Dec., the Council's Executive Director retired.
Recently, Brian Dingman, President of the Knox Trail Council sent a letter to Scout volunteers. In it he wrote, "The Knox Trail Council welcomes all families to participate in Scouting and benefit from our positive youth development program. Working together we can accomplish much: we are committed to delivering the best Scouting program to youth, their families and the communities of MetroWest Boston."
Deron Smith, a spokesperson for the Boy Scouts of America, said in a statement Boy Scouts of America is discussing potentially removing the national organization's restriction, allowing membership and the selection of scout leaders to be determined by local chartered organizations "consistent with each organization's mission, principles, or religious beliefs.
The Boys Scouts, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010, has long excluded both gays and atheists.
Last year, the BSA "emphatically reaffirmed" its policy of excluding gays as both leaders and Scouts, according to the Associated Press.
Smith told CBS News a change in the policy toward atheists was not being considered, and that the BSA continued to view "Duty to God" as one of its basic principles.
Boy Scouts of America is expected to take up the issue at is national board meeting next week.
Scouts for Equality founder Zach Wahls said "this would be an incredible step forward in the right direction."
Wahls, who's is a blogger for Huffington Post, is quoted as saying. "We look forward to working with BSA Councils and chartering organizations across the country to end the exclusion of our gay brothers in Scouting, as well as the gay and lesbian leaders who serve the organizations so well."

NORMAN — With cold weather and chilling wind on Sunday, a group of about 40 people braved the weather to attend a benefit concert in Andrews Park to raise awareness about the potential ill effects of pipelines.
Several speakers addressed a variety of topics concerning the Keystone XL Pipeline and other pipeline projects, as well as the effects they have on the earth and those who inhabit it.
Academy Award winning singer-songwriter and activist Buffy Sainte-Marie also performed Sunday and spoke about the issue.
"We're all here because of the environment," she said.
Signs taped around the amphitheater at Andrews Park included phrases like "Our water. Our life" and "Tar Sands threatens Oklahoma's drinking water."
Sainte-Marie said companies are exploiting rivers and lakes. Due to the history of pipelines leaking, water sources could be compromised if or when a leak occurs.
Sainte-Marie also sang a song called "No No Keshagesh." "Keshagesh" is a Canadian term meaning "greedy guts." She said it's what you call a little puppy who eats his own and then wants everybody else's.
Sainte-Marie said the song is about environmental greed.
"Take care of your link with life," she said, regarding Mother Nature.
The activist said Mother Nature is only here "by the skin of her teeth" and "money doesn't make the world go round," referring to profits companies are making from projects like the Keystone XL Pipeline.
The keynote speaker for the day was supposed to be Jim Hightower, an acclaimed nationally syndicated columnist, author and former Texas ag commissioner, but he was unable to attend.
Speakers on the list included a survivor of the 2010 ruptured tar sands pipeline in Michigan, Earl Hatley, an Oklahoma Native American and Grand Riverkeeper, several people from Texas including ranchers and those with pipeline information, an activist from Nebraska, and attorneys from Oklahoma and Texas.

NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 08: Actors (L-R) Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson attend a cocktail party in honor of designer Kris Van Assche and hosted by GQ & Dior Homme at The Cooper Square Hotel Penthouse on September 8, 2009 in New York City. (Photo by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images for GQ Magazine) *** Local Caption *** Hayden Christensen;Rachel Bilson
Just as it was for Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala, it appears that the Force was not with Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson.
The former "Star Wars" actor and "O.C." starlett have broken off their engagement, reports People.
"Yes, the engagement is off, " said Bilson's representative in an interview with the magazine. The rep declined to give further details of the split.
Several months ago there were reports that the couple, who met on the set of the 2007 sci-fi flick "Jumper," was taking a break.
The distance between the two actors was cited as a major reason for their split. Bilson is based in Los Angeles and Christensen resides in Canada.
Christensen will appears in the upcoming crime drama, "Takers," with rapper T.I. and Matt Dillon.

Original recipe yields 18 small profiteroles
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the butter and salt until the butter has melted; remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the flour until no dry lumps remain; stir in the eggs, one at a time, adding the next egg only after the last one has been completely incorporated into the mixture. Drop the profiterole paste onto the prepared baking sheet in evenly spaced dollops.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pastries have puffed up and turned golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack to room temperature.
- Beat 1 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks; stir in the confectioners' sugar and rosewater until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the remaining cup of heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted and smooth.
- To assemble, poke a hole into the bottom of each pastry and fill with the rose water cream. Place the filled profiteroles onto individual serving plates and top with the warm sauce. Leftover profiteroles may be stored sealed in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days.

The batter should not be "stiff" or thick. That's what makes the puffs so tender inside. I make these several times a year and they come out "perfect" if you follow the recipe exactly as it is. As another reviewer mentioned, you must wait until the water and butter are at a full rolling boil and then add the flour all at once. It also makes a difference if you don't add the eggs one by one as stated. The picture I added above is of this exact recipe followed 100% as it is. Edited to add: Please note that in different areas, "heavy" and "whipping" cream are the same thing. This is definitely meant to be the kind of cream you "whip". Also, if your puffs deflate when they come out of the oven, this could be due to banging the cookie sheet too hard, or simply the climate in your area. I find a foolproof way to prevent deflating is to cut a slit in the side of each puff as soon as you take them out of the oven to allow the hot air to escape and prevent them from falling. I notice someone mentioned their puffs were burning on the bottom. Mine have never done this, but some ovens run hotter than others so try reducing the heat to 400 degrees instead. Also, I use a Silpat which seems to work well with these.
This recipe is pretty good. The dough is the same as in cream puffs, so I went over there after my first attempt was too runny. Basically, one key is that you HAVE to make sure the water and butter are at a rolling boiling before adding the flour!! If your liquid is not hot enough, the flour won't set correctly. The rest is very lovely. My boyfriend loves profiteroles and I made this for his birthday. He was very impressed!
I love profiteroles, but the rose water just takes it to a whole new level. I use a piping bag for the dough (it helps with uniformity, but it isn't necessary), and I usually like to mix the cream with the sugar and the rose water before I whip it. Easier, fewer steps. If you're planning on serving these later, wait to put the chocolate sauce on because once it dries the flavor of the sauce is lost and it just lends an awkward texture to the profiteroles.

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.

I have a modest home theater system. I am happy with the sound I get but am always wondering if I am getting the most out of it. I use the prefered hookup option #1 in my Polk subwoofer manual which is connecting the front speakers to the speaker level output and connecting the speaker level input to my receiver. I have the S-Video going from my DVD player to my t.v. and I use fiber optic for the DVD player to the receiver. My wife and I live in an apartment so I don't have the ideal room for a home theater. I read a lot of the posts in the forum and there are a lot of people who know way more than I do so hopefully if I'm not maximizing my system someone will let me know. Thanks.
My System:
T.V.: Sony Trinitrom 27" KV-27V40
Receiver: Kenwood VR-309 DD/DTS
DVD Player: Pioneer DV-414
Front: Polk R50
Center: Polk CSi20
Surrounds: Bose Model 21
Subwoofer: Polk PSW250
Cables: Monster
(Hopefully will upgrade receiver and surrounds in 03)

Red Hat Releases JBoss ESB 4.2
Red Hat Linux has just released JBoss ESB 4.2, a community variant of its JBoss middleware.
The JBoss Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a subproject of the JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite (JEMS). The JBoss ESB component provides a kind of nexus for enterprise applications and services, and thus helps to automate business process workflows. JBoss ESB 4.2 supports various messaging products, the integration of data from Hibernate and MetaMatrix-based data sources, and component models as endpoints for a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The software can be scripted using the Java-based Groovy scripting language.
According to the developers, version 4.2 has improved software distribution and configuration thanks to a special ESB server. In April 2007, Red Hat forked JBoss development into an enterprise and a community driven branch.
Commercial enterprise products include support and maintenance contracts, and are more conservative with respect to their development, whereas the community version tends to push technical development along at a faster pace. The current enterprise products are the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and the JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform. JBoss ESB is not a standard module with either of these platforms right now. Source code and binary versions of the community software are available from JBoss Labs under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).

HEY everybody!
I hope the earthquake didn't scare you to much and everybody is okay. When I heard about it I wasn't to shocked. They said they felt it all the way to Boston. I just thought 5.8 what a little one. Being from Southern California that isn't much. I was in a 7.1. It's almost like a ride. I hope all is well and like I said everyone is okay. It gets your nerves going but after all the aftershocks you get more at ease with what to expect. Stay safe and keep rocking!!!
Hey Jamie,
I know what you're saying. It's the fear of the unknown. In Iowa we deal with tornados. We respect them, but don't really live in fear because they happen more here than some places. My cousin & her family from Pasadena were here this summer and her daughter was freaking out because of the lightining. Again, we respect it, but it's no big deal - at least until it hits my house!!

Santa Rosa firm develops pioneering video cameras
Published: Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 9:59 a.m.
Debbie Wymer got a surprise gift from her boyfriend at Christmas: ski goggles with a built-in video camera and microphone.
This month she wore them and filmed the downhill action on a two-day Santa Rosa Ski Club outing at the Northstar resort outside Truckee.
"It was fun to share it with all my buddies," said Wymer, a retired insurance claims adjuster from Windsor. After a day on the slopes, the friends gathered round a laptop and viewed their exploits.
"We had some really good laughs," she said.
Wymer got a second surprise when she learned the high-tech goggles were created by a company that moved to Santa Rosa a little over a year ago. Liquid Image, owned by a married couple who each graduated from Santa Rosa High School, makes products for a small but growing consumer category: Point of View, or POV, cameras.
The cameras, which can capture surfing, snorkeling, skydiving and other action-packed activities, experienced sales growth last year of about 70 percent to 4.5 million units, according to research firm IDC.
It estimates sales could grow to nearly 8 million cameras this year as consumers try out the latest wrinkle — built-in Wi-Fi that allows users to watch the video immediately on their smartphones.
"This is a good time to be a startup" in the POV market, said Chris Chute, IDC's research director for digital imaging, based in Framingham, Mass.
In the age of smartphones, video clips already seem a ubiquitous part of life. But POV cameras add a different dimension because you don't have to hold them — a good thing when water-skiing, racing dirt bikes or driving high-performance cars on the track. The cameras can be mounted to helmets or attached to moving toys so they capture the user in action.
"A lot of it is the ability to shoot yourself in a particular situation," said Chute. "In a way it's a little narcissistic, but it's a lot of fun."
The New York Times last summer reported that cyclists have even started using the cameras on commutes in case of conflicts with motorists, including one Washington two-wheeler who captured the license plate of a suspected hit-and-run driver.
The undisputed leader in the POV segment is GoPro, with sales of more than 3 million tiny cameras. The company credits its popularity in part to the incredible exposure from countless videos that users have posted on YouTube and Facebook.
Liquid Image found its niche making swim masks and various types of goggles, each with an embedded camera positioned slightly above and in between the wearers' eyes. It since has branched out to mountable cameras. Its products are made in China.
The company was recognized this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with a "Best of Innovations" award for its new Apex HD+ snow goggles. The company bills them as the first goggles with high-definition video and built-in Wi-Fi to connect to smartphones.
"We're staying a step ahead of the people who are copying us," said Melanie Pearson, who owns Liquid Image with her husband Kent.
"We're very inventive people and we have ideas waiting in line," she said.
The Pearsons grew up in Santa Rosa and moved their company back here from Sacramento in 2011 to be closer to family and return to an area they consider home. They're still living near Sacramento but hope to move to Sonoma County this year.
Kent Pearson, 43, Santa Rosa High class of 1987, and Melanie Pearson, 40, class of 1990, both went to study at the Art Center College of Design after college.
A decade ago, they designed their own item, a toy foam football that WalMart carried in its stores. In 2008 they moved away from toys and came out with their first camera, which was mounted in a yellow snorkeling mask. Priced under $100, "it was a complete shoe-in for all of the gift guides," Melanie Pearson said.
The camera mask was featured on NBC's "Today" show and appeared in an episode each of "Glee" and "Fear Factor."
Liquid Image later added camera goggles for snow and off-road sports, plus the mountable Ego camera. Prices range from $49 for a snorkeling mask to $400 for the top-of-the-line Apex snow goggles.
Sales in 2008 hit $2 million. By last year that figure had grown to $15 million.
The company employs 20 people, divided between Santa Rosa and Asia.
Melanie Pearson said the couple's original idea for a camera mask worked partly because of the advances in technology.
"Everything had gotten small enough and affordable enough that this was a possibility," she said.
Justin Liddell, a Windsor High senior who has used both GoPro and Liquid Image cameras, said the versatility of POV equipment is aided by simple editing software loaded on most computers.
"They've made it super good for the average consumer," said Liddell, who has his own film production company and has sold motorcycle racing video shot with a GoPro camera for an ad to a tire company.
With the addition of Wi-Fi, the camera makers have provided "the last piece of the puzzle" for a complete experience, said Chute of IDC. Without it, users typically needed to wait until they could sit at a computer to see their videos.
With Liquid Image's new Wi-Fi snow goggles, skiers can pull out their smartphones and watch their latest run while they're riding back up the lift. Or another person can view live video when the phone and camera are within 100 meters of one another.
"I can watch from somebody else's point of view as they're doing it," said Melanie Pearson.
Wymer isn't sure what she's going to do with all the ski videos that she expects to make. But she's impressed with the camera.
"This is amazing what it does and how easy it is and the quality of the pictures," she said, "if I can remember not to look down."

August 1, 2014
NEW BOSTON, Ohio (WSAZ) -- For some, a hot meal and a warm bed are the biggest blessings they could hope for on Thanksgiving or any night.
That's why a group of veterans -- who've already given so much -- are willing to brave the cold to help others stay warm and fed.
While sleeping outside on the ground at the end of November might seem meaningless to most of us, Mike Bell considers it his duty. Bell is one of many veterans trying to raise awareness for homeless veterans and anyone else without a home.
"When you go to do something as huge as what we're doing, you want to experience it the closest that you can," Bell said. "And going homeless and getting the experience of what homeless people are going through just makes it even more deeper."
The group is collecting canned foods and donations for the Salvation Army and veterans pantry in Portsmouth -- a gesture group members say they hope will make a difference.
"Just to see somebody pull up and even drop off one can, I mean, that means the world," fellow organizer Brian Lodwick said. "You think about what you're doing and what the meaning of what you're doing is, and it's helping these guys out."
Donor John Ingles said, "I hope it helps somebody, I really do."
The group of vets will be camping out until 6 p.m. Sunday. They're at the corner of Vine Street and Rhodes Avenue in New Boston. So, if you want to make a donation, you still have time.

Creative's exhaustive line-up of DAPs just took on another with this, their MuVo T200. Their second CES launch and an update to their T100 still packs 2GB or 4GB of storage with the addition of a display, FM radio, and voice recorder. Priced at $59 and $79, they'll surely find their ways into the pockets of the faithful. However, we're pretty sure a few of you are disappointed by Creative's CES showing thus far.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
A long-lost book reappears, mysteriously connecting an old
man searching for his son and a girl seeking a cure for her widowed mother's
Leo Gursky's life is just about surviving, tapping his radiator each evening to let his upstairs neighbor know he's still alive. But life wasn't always like this: sixty years ago, in the Polish village where he was born, Leo fell in love and wrote a book. And though Leo doesn't know it, that book survived, inspiring fabulous circumstances, even love. Fourteen-year-old Alma was named after a character in that very book. And although she has her hands fullkeeping track of her brother, Bird (who thinks he might be the Messiah), and taking copious notes on How to Survive in the Wildshe undertakes an adventure to find her namesake and save her family. With consummate, spellbinding skill, Nicole Krauss gradually draws together their stories.
This extraordinary book was inspired by the author's four grandparents and by a pantheon of authors whose work is haunted by lossBruno Schulz, Franz Kafka, Isaac Babel, and more. It is truly a history of love: a tale brimming with laughter, irony, passion, and soaring imaginative power.
When they write my obituary. Tomorrow. Or the next day. It will say, LEO GURSKY IS SURVIVED BY AN APARTMENT FULL OF SHIT. I'm surprised I haven't been buried alive. The place isn't big. I have to struggle to keep a path clear between bed and toilet, toilet and kitchen table, kitchen table and front door. If I want to get from the toilet to the front door, impossible, I have to go by way of the kitchen table. I like to imagine the bed as home plate, the toilet as first, the kitchen table as second, the front door as third: should the doorbell ring while I am lying in bed, I have to round the toilet and the kitchen table in order to arrive at the door. If it happens to be Bruno, I let him in without a word and then jog back to bed, the roar of the invisible crowd ringing in my ears. I often wonder who will be the last person to see me alive. If I had to bet, I'd bet on the delivery boy from the Chinese take-out. ...
Krauss spent her childhood on Long Island and has degrees from Stanford and
Oxford. Well into her twenties, she wrote poetry, which "felt like the
great goal of the language (she was a lot like the 14-year-old narrator of
The History of Love, Alma Singer, who
wants to be a survivalist, compiles obsessive lists,
and is an avid collector). Then she abruptly quit
poetry having set aside "an impossible quest for poetic precision".
Her first novel, Man Walks Into a Room, was very well received and was followed by a six-figure, two-book deal. Speaking of her first book she says, "Getting a book published made me feel a little bit sad ...... I felt driven by the need to write a book, rather ...
If you liked The History of Love, try these:
Atmospheric Disturbances is at once a moving love story, a dark comedy, a psychological thriller, and a deeply disturbing portrait of a fracturing mind.
The first English translation of a brooding, densely atmospheric Hungarian novel written in 1942. Mesmerizing. A small, beautifully fashioned masterpiece.

We haven't seen much of Vice President Joe Biden in the national media lately. His GOP challenger, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, on the other hand, has been giving media interviews routinely.
But America knows Biden and has seen him in national debates before. It will be the public's introduction to Ryan in such a high-stakes scenario.
The two will face off in front of a nationally televised and live internet audience of tens of millions Thursday in the only vice presidential debate in the 2012 campaign. The debate is 9-10:30 p.m. at Centre College in Kentucky.
Both men have the job of fiercely defending their running mates' records as polls show the gap between President Obama and GOP candidate Mitt Romney closing, so national political pundits say sparks could fly. It wouldn't be the first time.
There have been many memorable moments in vice presidential debate history -- Sarah Palin's question, "Can I call you Joe?" in her own debate with Biden in 2008, among them.
In 1988, Democratic vice presidential candidate Lloyd Bentsen , who had compared his own public service to that of the late President Kennedy. Bentsen countered: "I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."
Maryland has a direct connection, of sorts, to Thursday night's event. Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-MD, of Kensington, was reported to be the stand-in for Ryan in practice debate sessions.
Van Hollen, who represents Maryland's 8th District, routinely confronts Ryan in exchanges on Capitol Hill where Van Hollen is the ranking member of the House Budget Committee, which Ryan chairs.
Will you be watching the vice presidential debate? Could it have an effect on the election? Tell us in comments.

The recent and unanticipated weather in and around Montgomery County led to a series of events that no one saw coming. The storm, in and of itself, was shocking enough. Although forecasters called for a thunderstorm, not many people were prepared for the magnitude of it. In just a few minutes, trees had fallen everywhere, patio furniture had been blown into the neighbor's yard, and almost every house, office, restaurant, and building was left without power.
But what was even more surprising than the actual storm and the immediate damage it caused were the events occurring in the days following the storm and what it revealed about our society.
Power outages usually leave people with a feeling of helplessness or boredom because all of the equipment and appliances that we typically utilize on a daily basis are no longer available for use. But normally power is restored within a couple of hours and we all go back to our technology dependent lifestyles. However, the storm that occurred early last week left almost every single home in the area powerless and it was a true test of how long we could all go living the "simple" life. Needless to say, we failed.
Many people quickly shrugged off worries about refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, source of light, and even air conditioning. How will we eat, see each other, and keep cool were all questions that were easily replaced with: How will I charge my phone, watch my Tuesday night shows, and access Facebook?
As the days went on, our collective reliance on technology became more and more apparent. As soon as one nearby neighborhood got power, friends, family, and acquaintances rushed over to charge their phones and watch TV. Herds of people filled the hallways of the mall to use the outlets and get some internet connectivity. And my twitter feed, along with that of many others, was filled with dramatic and vulnerable tweets such as: SO BORED, can't live like this, and how did people survive in the olden days?
The madness of the power outages last week made me wonder: How did people survive in days when there was no such thing as power outages because there was no such thing as power? Did they stare at each other in the dark, pace back and forth in a candle lit room, or just collect a ball of dust and kick it across the floor? How did people survive on an ongoing basis when we couldn't even survive a few days?
Kids, teens, and adults everywhere were going insane from the heat, boredom, and everything else that came in the aftermath of the storm. As I often must do when I make observations about society, I admit that I am among the crazed people with a severe technology dependency. The morning after the storm I sat in my car with a portable charger trying to revive my cell phone. And when my power didn't come back the next day, I took my phone, charger, and computer to a house that did have power to charge them both and catch up on some TV.
But what does this say about all of us? How long could we have gone without power? My assumption would be not for a second longer than we were forced to considering the very public displays of dissatisfaction with Pepco's service. Huge banners were hung on the roadside declaring "GET US POWER BACK NOW," news stations easily found distraught Maryland residents to interview about their lack of electricity, and the Pepco phone lines were backed up for hours with angry and frustrated customers.
It's safe to say that once power was restored, we were relieved and ecstatic, to say the least. After the agonizing hours upon hours with limited access to internet, television, and cell phones, we all took comfort in knowing that things could go back to how they used to be. But looking back on the whirlwind of events that took place following the storm, I know I'm not the only one who feels slightly disappointed with the extreme behaviors displayed by many of the people who were left without power.
I think that power outages, as inconvenient as they may be, are healthy occurrences every once in a while. And next time one happens, instead of rushing around trying to charge our phones and computers, we should toss them aside for a couple of hours. It couldn't hurt to take a walk, read a book, pull out an old board game, or just engage in some meaningful conversation. Instead of tweeting about how people managed to survive in the olden days, try doing it. After all, some of our nation's greatest leaders, inventors, teachers, and philosophers lived in a time when electricity was just a thing of the future.
