The D Programming Language
D has a totally redesigned and highly flexible template system. For starters, the ! operator is used for template instantiation. This eliminates the numerous ambiguities caused by <> instantiation and is more readily recognizable. Here is a simple copier template:
template TCopy(t) { void copy(T from, out T to) { to = from; } } void main() { int from = 7; int to; TCopy!(int).copy(from, to); }
Template declarations can be aliased:
alias TFoo!(int) temp;
Templates can be specialized for different types, and the compiler deduces which type you are referring to:
template TFoo(T) { ... } // #1 template TFoo(T : T[]) { ... } // #2 template TFoo(T : char) { ... } // #3 template TFoo(T,U,V) { ... } // #4 alias TFoo!(int) foo1; // instantiates #1 alias TFoo!(double[]) foo2; // instantiates #2 // with T being double alias TFoo!(char) foo3; // instantiates #3 alias TFoo!(char, int) fooe; // error, number of // arguments mismatch alias TFoo!(char, int, int) foo4; // instantiates #4
If a template has one member function and nothing else, it can be declared like this:
void TFunk(T) (T i) { .. }
Function templates can be instantiated implicitly, and the types of the arguments deduced:
TFoo!(int, char[]) (2,"foo"); TFoo(2, "foo");
In those cases when you need to declare a template and its only member is a class, use the following simplified syntax:
class MyTemplateClass (T) { .. }
A mixin is just like cutting and pasting a template's code into a class; it doesn't create its own scope:
template TFoo(t) { t i; } class test { mixin TFoo!(int); this() { i = 5; } } void main() { Test t = new Test; writefln(t.i); }
D is a promising language that is able to supply many different needs in the programming community. Features such as arrays, SH syntax and type inference make D comparable to languages, such as Ruby and Python, in those regards, while still leaving the door open for low-level system programmers with the inline assembler and other features. D can be applied to many programming paradigms—be they object-oriented with classes and interfaces, generic programming with templates and mixins, procedural programming with functions and arrays, or any other. The garbage collector relieves the programmer of the need to manage all memory chunks manually, while still making it possible for those situations in which manual memory management is preferred. It brings in features of imperative languages, such as Lisp, with the lazy storage class, which drastically speeds up efficiency. The language is relatively stable, with the occasional new features or changes added in.
In short, D is a language ready for real-world deployment.

What a badly designed language
I can't see any better than C/C++ or Python.
the "~" concatenating operator is ugly than any other language,
the gc makes it not a pure compiling language.
It's pure compiling
It's pure compiling language! "~" is used becouse, "+" means addition, not concatenating. You can find rational arguments for this and other problems on D web page.
BTW. "inout" parameters are now renamed to "ref".
As of 1.011
"BTW. 'inout' parameters are now renamed to 'ref'."
As of 1.011
Funny though, its badly designed because it uses ~ and has gc. And I wonder what pure compiling means if gc makes this no longer true?
Why makes gc pure compiling no longer true
Why makes gc pure compiling (whatever that means) no longer true ? GC is done by the runtime and has nothing to do with compiling. D is a "pure compiling" language (as pure as you can get - there is nothing more pure than compiling into platform dependent native code). And why is a language badly designed just because it has the option to use garbage collection (in D you can manage memory by yourself and turn garbage collection completely off, if you want to) ?
Using ~ for concatenating arrays and not + makes sense because your not adding strings like you are adding numbers. But that might be just a matter of taste.
But if these two things are the only criterions for you to decide if a language is good or bad designed, you should better not become a language designer.
Improvements over C++
For a (not complete) list of things which are "improvements" over C++ just take a look at
As always this is a matter of taste and personal preference. But C++ had to be designed to be backward compatible to C, so some things could not be as clean designed as they should be and make the language more complicated and error prone.
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.

New Book Defends Barack Obama's Stimulus
A new book on the Obama presidency explains the value of the stimulus spending bill and other policies better than the administration was able to do.
Michael Grunwald's fascinating new book, The New New Deal, is bound to be a lasting word on Barack Obama's presidency. It closely examines the early stimulus spending bill and argues that it, well, pretty much saved us from a free-falling depression. What we got instead, a Great Recession with endemic joblessness, was something to be grateful for. Sort of. That was never a message the American people were going to hear, much less love.
Read it and weep. The book itself is evidence of something amiss, as if the butler used a candlestick in the library as a silencing mechanism. This tells an engaging story we in the American public should already know, but believe me, this is indeed a new narrative of the massive domestic policy bill, the little known American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
Grunwalk, a senior national correspondent at Time magazine, makes the case for Barack Obama's signature stimulus bill more vividly and persuasively than the president ever did. The messaging got so bad the White House began to disown the word "stimulus" itself. What was missing from Obama's presidency, from the bitterly cold first day, was the voice that moved multitudes. It's a mystery that has not yet been solved.
The youthful Obama soared into office on the waves of his own oratory. Soon after he became the author of a New Deal for our times, as sweeping, if not more so, than Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal, the author contends. Grunwald counts many of the ways that $787 million was spent to keep the economy afloat: including clean energy projects such as clean coal plants and wind turbines, high-speed rail, road construction projects, the Race to the Top educational program, and $10 billion for more National Institute of Health research. Mostly good things, if a little heavy on old infrastructure spending, not always as "shovel-ready" as it seemed.
[Read the U.S. News debate: Does Stimulus Spending Work?]
Vice President Joseph Biden oversaw the nitty gritty details and made sure that the moving parts were in fact moving in sync in a historically transparent process. "He was the perfect guy for the job," Grunwald said in an interview. "A people person."
Be that as it may, Biden could not break a fierce partisan divide in his alma mater, the Senate, to cut the new president a break even in the worst of times. Obama spent only a few years in that august club, but spent much of it on book tour and running for president. As a result, the White House did not wield much influence. Negotiations with that body bogged down to the usual suspects, three or four centrist Republicans and Democrats who wielded power beyond the size of their state and statesmanship. In the most egregious example, Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, emerged as a stubborn force standing against school construction funds in the package. She just wasn't going to let it happen, as a matter of some principle, and had Peter Orszag, the Office of Management and Budget director, begging her, "Do it for me." Grunwald peppers this Washington drama with dialogue and characters in action, which makes it a rollicking good read. The only character it's hard to get a fix on—you guessed it—is the cool and cerebral Obama, who did not grant Grunwald an interview.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Congress.]
Grunwald is mildly scornful of the daily beast news media, which he pokes at for missing a seismic story in plain sight. It's a brave stance he's taking, all alone out there, but he defends it well. More importantly, he captures the colossal gulfs between policy and politics, between Democrats and Republicans, and to a lesser extent, the House and the Senate. Over and over, the phrase, "get to 60," is used as a shorthand for enough Senate votes to break a filibuster—except they never do filibuster. In the trenches, House Democratic leaders are portrayed as frustrated with the coddled individual senators, protesting life in the Capitol can't go on this way. But it was the way of the world. As poetic justice for taking the House Democrats for granted, the 2010 election brought a new crowd of trouble, a new House Republican majority to town.
In Oval Office huddles, Obama mastered the economic stimulus policy, and cobbled together historic legislation in a hurry, but unwisely left the politics open to Republicans. Two new Republican governors, of Florida and Wisconsin, turned down millions of federal dollars for high-speed rails projects in their states early in the game. Hard to believe, but they were only harbingers of the hard rain yet to come. Long story short, the hostile Republicans, acting in concert, managed to make the Recovery Act untouchable—and the sad part is, they didn't even have to fight for it in a public dialogue. It's almost as if they won a duel by default. The silence was—and is—deafening. That is why The New New Deal is so timely as a new framework for viewing the major achievements of Obama's presidency.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the budget and deficit.]
The same kind of sphinx-like silence surrounds healthcare reform, too, Obama's other major accomplishment in office. (But we've been down that road before.) In vain, the president tried to quell the other party's anger by granting a wrongheaded extension of the Bush tax cuts in 2010. He even tried to make friends with the new crowd in the House, in the lowest point in his presidency. It took the brinkmanship of the debt ceiling debacle for him to see that his powers of persuasion was going nowhere with congressional Republicans. It's between the lines of the book, but to me it's the moral of the story. As president, Obama has consistently overestimated the power of reason—and perhaps the potency of his charms on his enemies. And he cut short the conversation he started with those who really wanted to hear from him: the American people.

New Town,
New Love
I found my husband on Lavalife! I had just moved to a new town, wasn't meeting anyone through work or friends and wasn't interested in the "bar scene". I was frustrated and almost ready to give up on finding Mr. Right, so I decided to do something about it and give online dating a try. I tried a few sites and Lavalife was the best - it was the easiest to use and had the most matches in my area. Thank you for helping me find such a wonderful husband, the love of my life!
A Perfect Match on Lavalife
I met my perfect match on Lavalife in April of 2008. I wasn't really looking for anything but I guess that's how it works - you find some things when you aren't really looking! We met after a month of chatting on Lavalife. We travelled back and forth for months before she moved in with me, and in December of 2008, I proposed. I never thought I would find my perfect match online, but I am so glad that I did. We're getting married in March 2010, and can't wait to spend our lives together.
One Thing Leads to Another...
We met a year ago on Lavalife and sparks flew right away! We chatted back and forth for a week, exchanged pictures and e-mails and one thing led to another…we started talking on the phone every night. When we met in person, it was instant chemistry and we thought that there was no way that things could happen so easily, since we'd been searching for our soul mates all of our adult lives. Months later, we moved in together, got engaged and now are very busy planning our 2009 summer wedding. We talk all the time about how thankful we are to Lavalife and the many relationships they have helped form. We could not be any more in love and happy, and are looking forward to the rest of our lives together. Thanks Lavalife for helping us find each other!
For more information on Lavalife, read our help section or contact customer service.

While former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was reported to have died of stroke on Monday, few experts doubt that dementia, the disease she lived with for at least the final 12 years of her life, contributed powerfully to her demise.
"Dementia means brain failure, and brain failure ultimately causes death from immobility, malnutrition and infection," among other downstream effects, said Dr. Paul S. Aisen, director of the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study at the University of California San Diego. Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, "is uniformly fatal," Aisen added.

Several Photos Of Kristen Stewart Naked In 'On The Road' Leaked Online
October 4th, 2012 1:18pm EDT
It's no secret that Kristen Stewart has shed her clothing for a couple of racy sex scenes in her upcoming film, On the Road; and now several screencaps from the film, based on beat writer Jack Kerouac's 1957 novel, have surfaced online.
Still images from two different topless scenes have spread across the web like wildfire; one showing the actress fully nude ans smoking a cigarette on a bed, the other sitting topless in the front sead of a pickup truck with her two male co-stars, Garrett Hedlund and Sam Riley.
Back in May, The Culture and Media Institute's Dan Gainor bashed Stewart's decision to bare her body in the upcoming film in an interview with RadarOnline.
"The movie industry has a twisted affection for making raunchy films that use and abuse former child stars," he says. "In the film 'On The Road,' Kristen Stewart engages in a threesome and masturbates two male characters according to reports. How will parents who took their daughters to see the Twilight movies explain this?"
But K-Stew has called her scenes "no big deal."
During a press conference for the film on May 23; she said, ""I wanted to do it. I love pushing. I love scaring myself. I've always wanted to get as close to an experience as I could."
The 22-year-old star plays the 16-year-old wife of a writer's friend. The three learn and grow from several experiences as they travel cross-country together in the film; which is loosely based on Kerouac's own life with some fictional additions to his tale.
"I'm usually self conscious about running around town," Stewart says. "But I got to live more in those four weeks than I ever usually do in my life."
The actress reportedly only made $200,000 for her part after the studio drastically cut the budget, staying on because of her love for Kerouac's book.
As for director Walter Sallies, who cast her when she was just 17, she has nothing but praise.
"'You can do no wrong with [Salles]," she told MTV News at last month's Toronto International Film Festival. "He puts so much inside of you. In the four-week rehearsal process, it was okay to ask any question, to bring up any story, to really over-analyze everything and intellectualize everything. "Once we got on set, it was so about just breathing and letting it happen. He put so much trust in us, so it was like, "Okay, so I have to take my clothes off?" It's so not a big [deal]."

This image provided by Sotheby's shows "Three Women at the Red Table" by Fernand Leger. Pop diva Madonna is parting with the abstract French painting she's owned for more than 20 years to support girls' education in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries.
A French painting owned by Madonna has sold at a New York City auction for more than $7 million.
Sotheby's auction house hasn't said who bought Fernand Leger's "Three Women at the Red Table" for $7.2 million on Tuesday. The abstract work had a pre-sale estimate of $5 million to $7 million.
Proceeds of the sale will benefit the Ray of Light Foundation, which supports girls' education in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries.
Madonna says she wanted to "trade something valuable for something invaluable" in countries where female education is rare or nonexistent. She bought the work at Sotheby's in 1990 for $3.4 million.
Leger created the work in 1921 as part of a series depicting women with still-life compositions.

A community's health can be measured by its wealth of wild places and in Western Washington County you can discover a bit of an outdoor secret.
It's a place where the quiet life is prized by wildness at Fernhill Wetlands.
If you're lucky you may cross paths with wildlife photographer Steve Halpern. He travels this way each week and each time he does, he takes a deep breath to savor a place that's meant for the quiet times.
"In order to do bird photography, you have to have an extraordinary tolerance for frustration," said the longtime photographer. "You need patience, be willing to endure cold and heat and bugs and then remember that none of that shows up in the picture."
What does show up in Halpern's wonderful bird photographs are moments of wildness that are set in a place you've likely never seen or heard much about near Forest Grove, Oregon.
You may find it surprising that so much wildness – nearly 800-acres – is just thirty minutes west of Portland.
Once considered a 'wasteland,' the local community thought there had to be a better way and began to change the scene thirty years ago.
The restoration and preservation efforts have paid off – today, Fernhill Wetlands is a place where eagles have a home to raise their young and where thousands of waterfowl gather each winter.
Halpern calls Fernhill Wetlands a "birder's paradise" and one that's largely unknown.
"I think it's amazing, not just for the wildlife, but for the city of Forest Grove and Washington County to have a world class wetland. This place is as good and as wonderful a wetland as you could hope for and it's really in our own backyards."
This week, Fernhill Wetlands got even better!
The landowner, Clean Water Services, embarked on a $12 million project last year to enhance the Fernhill Wetlands property with a more natural process to clean wastewater.
Three acres of the site – and there's much more on the way – have been transformed into Fernhill Gardens. The site - now open to the public - is marked by massive boulders, huge trees and nearly 60,000 wetland shrubs and plants.
The practical goal of the project is to cool treated wastewater at an affordable price before it flows into the nearby Tualatin River.
Project Manager, John Dummer, said that a project of this scale has never been built before:
"The process of naturalizing or bringing water back to nature is one of the things we wanted to evoke in this restorative garden. We want this to be a place where people can come, experience nature but also provide a purpose of cleaning and cooling the water – hence, all of the vegetation."
The garden is a place that people will certainly want to visit – crowned by two massive wooden bridges that invite and entice visitors down the trail.
Water Resources Manager, Jared Kinnear, added: "It's a win-win for the water, win-win for the habitat and really offers amenities for people too."
Local people like Debby de Carlo (a member of the local Friends of Fernhill Wetlands) agreed that the new garden will be a valuable asset to the community and to the wildlife that live there.
"This place is like a silver lining in Oregon's rainy winters," said De Carlo. "You see more variety of ducks here in the winter. When I'm out in a natural place like this, I forget about myself. It's almost like a meditation to be out here surrounded by wildness."
Halpern agreed and said that as more folks discover Fernhill, they will come to appreciate what it offers: "It's a place where our national bird has successfully come back from the brink of extinction. That's really a remarkable thing and it's good to know there's still something wild out here."

Animal Control Officer Lari Ann Pope wraps up a duck wandering near Parque de Vida Wednesday. When the duck pond freezes, the wild ducks fly to new locations with water but there are a few that wander around not knowing what to do and freezing in the cold. Pope suspects they are domestic ducks that were kept as pets until they were too big and then dumped at the park. She relocates the ducks to people who take care of them.

HARRISBURG — Glitches are beginning quickly in the federally run online insurance portal for Pennsylvania that's newly open under President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
The website, healthcare.gov, was telling visitors today that the system was down at the moment and to try again later. It also says, "we're working to resolve the issue as soon as possible" and that it has a lot of visitors right now.
Callers to the federal call center where consumers can get help by telephone have reported long wait times.
Today is the first day that people can see information on the 56 health plans available to Pennsylvanians, such as rates and networks, and start shopping.
Coverage begins Jan. 1.
Antoinette Kraus of the Pennsylvania Healthcare Access Network says people don't have to enroll right away.

'Homeland' Recap: A Fool's Errand
The Yoga Play' is a meditation on the art of tradecraft.
After stumbling in the dark for some episodes, "Homeland" shines a very bright light on its thematic goals for the season.
"The old games are proving less and less effective, obsolete even," Sen. Lockheart, who is poised to take over the CIA, tells Saul Berenson, the agency's temporary director.
"Old games?" Saul asks.
"Certain categories of clandestine operations: double agents, coat trailing, stimulated defections," Lockheart rattles off dismissively until Saul cuts him off: "Live sources. Human beings. That's the gold standard of espionage."
[MORE: 'Homeland' Season 2 Recaps]
Their conflicting views is the Very Important Point "Homeland" wants to make this season, and this episode is anything but subtle about it. If Lockheart and Saul's dialogue wasn't enough, "Homeland" lays it on thick with a visual metaphor. The two are on a boys' club-y hunting retreat, with Lockheart not pausing to shoot down both his targeted geese and Saul's.
The rest of the episode -- from the very maneuver its title, "The Yoga Play," borrows from -- is a meditation on the the art of tradecraft, those "old games" as it were. The motivation for it all -- to reaffirm Saul's views -- is more than a little heavy-handed. (And the exchange, in which Lockheart casually tosses out the option of unprovoked military actions against Iran, raises its own problematic questions about the world "Homeland" is living in.)
But watching Carrie, Quinn and their enemies play those old games sure is fun to watch.
Carrie, dangled in front the Iranians and off her meds, is in a vulnerable spot. It's a little unbelievable that Jessica -- Morena Baccarin giving her best Claire Danes cry face -- turns to her terrorist-husband's unstable mistress to help her find her daughter, who broke her boyfriend out of the loony bin. But if the whole point of the Dana and Leo's great escape was to get Carrie acting reckless, we'll take it. As irresponsible as Carries efforts are, she at least appears to pull off the mission, relying on a begrudging Virgil and Max (Max!), a yoga instructor and a late-game interception by Quinn -- a network of humans or "the golden standard," as Saul puts it.
And it's not just Carrie, terrorist mastermind Majid Javadi depends on the same human networks to get into America. Once he crosses the border under the dubious cover of someone who works in "paper products" (really? in 2013?), he is assisted by a medley of dark and scary henchmen. The most wanted terrorist in the world doesn't get to zoom about Vermont backroads without a little help from his friends.
[ALSO: Mandy Patinkin Talks Getting Into Saul's Head]
Later in the episode, Javadi, spying on a suburban scene from his car, spills the burger he is chomping down all over his shirt. The scene is treated like it's an ordinary problem anyone has faced, a shirt stained by lunch eaten on the job. Espionage is not just a thrilling profession but a daily struggle that consumes its apprentices, a point "Homeland" makes with how often spies are just spying on other spies, who know they're being spied on. Carrie even makes a joke of this reality when Quinn first confronts her: "Shouldn't you be hiding up a tree or something?"
Their relationship takes on a more emotional tenor, where Carrie admits that she is not quite comfortable with the surveillance state she's living in: "I'm not sure I like being watched by you Quinn."
"I am at a safe distance," he responds.
If all this exploration of tradecraft isn't rebuttal enough for Lockheart's dismissal of it, Saul gets to make another monologue more explicitly laying out how wrong Lockheart is.
"Being a spy isn't the same as sitting in a blind, waiting for the enemy to come on to your guns," Saul says, our hunting metaphor coming full circle. "You're in the jungle, usually in the dark. with bad information and unreliable partners".
[SEE: 'Nashville' Season 2 Recaps]
It's clear that Saul does want to make the world a better place, that he really believes in protecting his men and women, but that doesn't mean he hasn't lost some of humanity in the process. When Quinn tells Saul that Carrie has been taken by the Iranians -- a scene that plays out chillingly as they strip her, bag her, and whisk her away in the dark -- delight that they are "back in business" trumps any concerns about her safety.

Date: 1/31/2001
Title:Date: Anderson University names School of Business in honor of Dr. Glenn Falls
President James L. Edwards has announced that, for the first time in the university's 84-year history, a school on the campus will be named in honor of an individual. As a result, the School of Business at Anderson University will be named in honor of Dr. R. Glenn Falls, professor emeritus of Business and Economics and university benefactor; which will represent his lifetime commitment to the private Christian institution.
"We are celebrating the contributions of a true founder in the naming of our School of Business for Dr. R. Glenn Falls," said Dr. James L. Edwards, president of Anderson University. "While he has given a lifetime to his teaching role on the campus, he has extended the outreach of the university and its highly regarded business programs far beyond this community. By making this first naming of a school on the campus for Dr. Falls, we believe we are extending his lifetime work, his values and his gifted accomplishments. We are so proud to associate this outstanding program with his name."
Dr. Falls graduated from Anderson University in 1948 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He continued his education at Indiana University, earning a Master of Business Administration degree in 1950 and a DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) in 1954. He retired from Anderson University in 1987 after 35 years of distinguished service. Upon retirement, the Anderson University Board of Trustees honored Dr. Falls with the title of professor emeritus of Business and Economics. He continues to serve the university as an investment advisor, coordinating and evaluating the university's endowment and trust funds.
"The School of Business faculty is pleased and excited that the university has chosen to honor the contributions of Dr. Glenn Falls by establishing the Dr. R. Glenn Falls School of Business," said Dr. Ken Armstrong, dean of the AU School of Business. "Dr. Falls gave 35 years of dedicated service to building a strong School of Business. He combined excellent teaching skills that involved the very best of both theoretical and practical understanding with very high expectations and a never wavering commitment to students. These qualities remain the core of the School of Business to this day."
During his career that began in 1952, Dr. Falls, along with former colleague Dr. Harold Linamen, professor emeritus of Business and Economics [retired since 1987], became instrumental in nurturing the department of Business and Economics—providing the foundation for the current School of Business. Throughout the course of his tenure, Dr. Falls served as chair of the department of Business and Economics, chair of the Social Sciences Division and associate dean of the College. Among many highlights of the program during Dr. Falls' tenure was the expansion of business majors while integrating the program into the liberal arts at AU. In addition, he networked with local business and community leaders to develop educational and economic opportunities to encourage graduates to live and work locally.
In addition, to his service with the university, Dr. Falls has contributed as either a board director or an investor to several Madison County organizations. Local organizations through which Dr. Falls has provided leadership include, but are not limited to, the Anderson Banking Company, Pay Less Supermarkets, ALAC Services, Inc., and Kleinhenn Co.
"I am truly honored," said Dr. Falls. "I joined Dr. Linamen and others to spend most of my working life developing the School of Business. It is a great joy to see something through which you contributed grow so well after you leave. I am very proud of what the School of Business is doing and excited to witness its expansion. It is not common for a university the size of AU to have such a strong School of Business; however, I am so proud our program sets us apart in this way and is yet another unique aspect of the institution. Also, I am so happy I have been able to continue working with the university and financially contribute to its future."
Immediately following his retirement in 1987 from Anderson University, Dr. Falls and his wife Ruth donated $1 million to AU establishing both the Glenn and Ruth Falls Endowed Scholarship Fund and the Falls Faculty Development Endowment Fund among other areas of support. In 1993, Dr. Glenn and Ruth Falls again contributed $1.5 million to "The Anderson Challenge" capital campaign that concluded on Dec. 31, 1999. The resources from this gift were earmarked for faculty development, university facilities, equipment and other projects.
Dr. Falls received the Distinguished Alumni Service Award in 1981 as well as the John H. Kane Loyalty Award from Anderson University in 1987. In 1993 Dr. Falls was inducted into the Madison County Business Hall of Fame by Junior Achievement of Central Indiana. Both he and Ruth Falls received the University Heritage Award in 1996. The Falls have two daughters, Carolyn Caldwell and Barbara Schelstrate, both graduates of Anderson University. In addition, the Falls have five grandchildren and an equal number of great-children.
"Glenn Falls is the very essence of the Christian college—excellence in teaching, dedication of life to Christ and his Church, and stewardship of his resources," said Dr. Robert A. Nicholson, president emeritus of Anderson University.
The Falls School of Business at Anderson University recently relocated to a 36,000 square foot building at 1303 East Fifth Street, which formerly served as the executive office building for Church of God Ministries. During the past ten years alone, the Falls School of Business has grown from 8 full-time faculty members (2 with earned doctorates) to 16 full-time faculty members expected for the fall semester of 2001 (11 with earned doctorates and two faculty members pursuing doctorates). In addition, there are currently more than 2,350 alumni of the Falls School of Business with nearly 500 of those alumni living in Madison County.
The Falls School of Business at Anderson University offers accredited undergraduate and graduate programs in a wide variety of business disciplines. The school currently provides a Master of Business Administration degree targeted toward working professionals and a new Master of Accountancy program.
Anderson University is a private, four-year, Christian liberal arts institution of approximately 2,400 undergraduate and graduate students. Established in 1917 by the Church of God, the university offers more than 60 undergraduate majors and graduate programs of study in business, education and theology.

Commercial drones will soon populate U.S. airspace, and venture capitalists like Tim Draper are placing their bets.
Draper, an early investor in Hotmail, Skype and Baidu, is now backing DroneDeploy, a startup that's building software to direct unmanned aircraft on land mapping and the surveillance of agricultural fields. Draper even expects drones to one day bring him dinner.
"Drones hold the promise of companies anticipating our every need and delivering without human involvement," Draper, 55, wrote in an e-mail. "Everything from pizza delivery to personal shopping can be handled by drones."
Venture investors in the U.S. poured $40.9 million into drone-related startups in the first nine months of this year, more than double the amount for all of 2012, according to data provided to Bloomberg News by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association. Drones are moving from the military, where they've been used to spy on and kill suspected terrorists, to a range of civilian activities.
Congress has directed the Federal Aviation Administration to develop a plan to integrate drones into U.S. airspace by 2015 and to move faster on standards for drones weighing less than 55 pounds.
It's not just startups that are anticipating the changes. ConocoPhillips says that drones could be used to monitor ice floes and marine mammals in the Arctic. Entrants could also include established drone makers AeroVironment Inc., Boeing Co.'s Insitu unit and Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. in Tel Aviv, according to Bloomberg Government.
Sales of civilian unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, will reach $8.2 billion within the decade, up from nothing today, according to Phil Finnegan, director of corporate analysis at researcher Teal Group, which tracks aerospace and defense.
"There's going to be a lot of growth in this market," Finnegan said.
While the capital invested in drone-related startups has surged, it's still concentrated in just a few companies. Three startups account for all of the money raised in the first nine months of this year, compared with five in all of 2012.
Draper backed DroneDeploy through his Menlo Park, Calif.-based firm, Draper Fisher Jurvetson. Airware, a startup in Newport Beach, Calif., raised $13.3 million earlier this year from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Google Ventures and First Round Capital to develop customizable autopilots for UAVs that cost about $4,500 to $7,500, according to the company's website.
Airware found it much easier to attract the attention of venture capitalists this year after testing the product with customers, said Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Downey.
"We'd looked at raising money last year, and it was very different," said Downey, who plans to move the company to San Francisco in January.
The business of drones still carries plenty of risks. UAVs will have to occupy parts of the airspace not used by airplanes, and investors don't yet know what the rules will be. Concerns over privacy are most notable given the history of drones as tools used by the government and military.
The American Civil Liberties Union has warned of the possibility of a "surveillance society" spurred by drones. "The only way to avoid this dystopian future and prevent mass, suspicionless searches of the general population is to ensure that information collected by drones for one purpose cannot be used for another purpose," Allie Bohm, a strategist for the ACLU, wrote in an August blog post.
Andy Wheeler, a partner at Google Ventures, said drones are moving into the mainstream because of the steep drop in the cost of sensors, which have been mass produced for smartphones. The plunge in costs helped convince Google Ventures to invest in Airware as well as another drone-related startup, Wheeler said, declining to say which one.
"We are talking orders of magnitude lower than military technology," Wheeler said, referring to the prices for commercial equipment.
While DroneDeploy is building software and Airware is developing systems, some startups are focusing on services. Matternet Inc., funded by Andreessen Horowitz, aims to use drones for delivery of items such as mail and medical supplies.
Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News, is an investor in Andreessen Horowitz.
Firefighters and law enforcement officials are likely to be some of the early beneficiaries of the drop in costs, said Kent Goldman, a partner at First Round Capital in San Francisco.
"I see a bright future for non-military applications," he said.

Last week I began the tale of a dozen letters that Miss Bess Ott sent to her teenage niece over a six-year period, beginning in 1937. Miss Ott was living in Leesburg, where she was working as the new Loudoun County Health Department's first public health nurse.
Miss Ott never imagined that the letters, which provide a glimpse into life in Leesburg and Loudoun County in the middle of the 20th century, would find their way back to Leesburg more than seven decades later.
On February 23, 1941, Miss Ott wrote that her landlady's sister, Miss Nan McIntosh, had been operated on. She was getting along quite well, but would not be able to go out for some time. Miss Ellen Metzger had been ill in bed with the flu for several days. Miss Ott stayed with her for four days, since she was in the house alone.
Mr. Montgomery, the minister at Leesburg Presbyterian Church, was on vacation, so there would be no services for "these three Sundays." The previous Sunday, she had invited Mr. and Mrs. Sweeny to dinner, and took them along with Miss Bundy to see some big horse stables near Middleburg and Upperville.
On November 25, 1941, after the creation of the Health Department, she wrote that the new health officer had come on duty.
"I'm not yet sure just where I stand," she wrote. "He hasn't been here long enough for anyone to see anything we've done. We are quite crowded as he has taken over my office, and I still have my desk here, as well as all of my other equipment – so we really are almost stepping on each other's toes." They hoped to move to a new office the next Saturday.
In her last letter sent from Leesburg, on February 13, 1942, Miss Ott wrote that Miss Nan was getting weaker, and her landlady, Mrs. Carr, had spent three days in bed with "a wretched cold."
She and Dr. Waller had attended a one-day nutrition institute at Fairfax. One of her supervising nurses was visiting, and she had made a lot of visits the previous afternoon and that morning.
Miss Ott resigned from her position with the county less than one month later. She went on to work as a nurse in many different settings, including a stint as the personal nurse to Baroness Maria von Trapp and her family, in Stowe, Vermont. She died in Richmond in 1973 at the age of 82.
Miss Ott's niece, Louise, finished two years of college at Farmville, then transferred to the College of William and Mary, where she graduated. Shortly after the war, she married a naval officer she had met while in college.
Louise saved the letters she received from her aunt and other family members, and took them with her as she and her husband followed his career around the country. Over the years they had homes in California, Nebraska, Wisconsin, South Dakota and, finally, Illinois, and raised a family of four children.
Last year, Louise passed the letters long to her only son, who, coincidentally, now lives in Leesburg and is a member of the same church his great-aunt attended years ago. He had been hired in 1989 as Loudoun County's first public information officer, and now writes a weekly column for Patch.
To complete the circle, I recently took a handful of yellowed letters and postcards back to the post office in downtown Leesburg, where my great-aunt had mailed them to my mother, decades earlier.
I reflected on the fact that the downtown facility recently made an appearance on the list of endangered post offices. While it has gotten a temporary reprieve, I suspect that its days are numbered.
I found the cornerstone, dated 1923, and pondered how many millions of letters to loved ones have been sent and received in that building.
And only a handful, I surmised, have taken such a circuitous path, over so many months and miles, to find their way back to Leesburg.

Bray Wyatt
Real Name
Windham Rotunda
Date of Birth
May 23, 1987
Place of Birth
Rumors are floating around right now that Chris Jericho is done with WWE after he finishes up his feud with Bray Wyatt. The return was designed to be a short term thing, as the former undisputed champion still has other business ventures that he wants to focus on. There are talks that Jericho could be convinced to stick around in WWE a bit longer if an interesting program can be created for him.
July 28, 2014
As late as Saturday, management had plans in place for Bray Wyatt to beat Chris Jericho at WWE Battleground 2014. However, Vince McMahon called an audible and had Jericho winning the match. No word yet on why McMahon made this decision, but it is being said that a lot of people backstage were against the idea because Wyatt had already started losing momentum with the audience.
July 22, 2014
During Monday Night Raw, a segment aired where Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan attacked Chris Jericho in the locker room. That was actually a trick by WWE, as the footage was filmed at the pay per view on Sunday night. Jericho had actually hopped on a flight to Los Angeles on Monday morning, so that he can begin promotional work for the new Fozzy album.
July 22, 2014
It looks like the previous media ban has been completely lifted for Bray Wyatt. WWE is now having him do interviews across the country to promote their events. In the past, the company has forced him to avoid speaking publicly, in order to keep an air of mystery around his character. Management wanted to mold him to be similar to the Undertaker character at one point in time.
July 19, 2014
While wrestling fans online are downplaying the incident, WWE is a bit concerned that fans in attendance at the last episode of Monday Night Raw were bored with Bray Wyatt during his segment with Chris Jericho. The chants came as a bit of a surprise to management, as they felt that Wyatt was one of their more popular performers. There were concerns that he would lose interests from some fans once his program with John Cena ended.
July 17, 2014
When Bray Wyatt was accidentally busted open by some errant punches from Ric Flair at a WWE live event in Madison Square Garden this past weekend, he took it extremely well. Some are even saying that he looked like he enjoyed the moment with the legendary Flair in a legendary arena. Since he did not get upset about the incident, people backstage are praising Wyatt for his attitude.
July 16, 2014
While it was still noticeable last night, WWE medical personnel worked fervently last night to repair the black eye on Bray Wyatt before he stepped in front of the cameras. They drained fluids from around his eye to reduce the swelling. Then, makeup artists did as much as they could to hide the darkness. WWE worked around the issue by having Erick Rowan and Luke Harper attacking Chris Jericho in the ring before Wyatt made a brief appearance on the stage.
July 15, 2014
It looks like WWE has changed their minds and will not be doing a quick feud between Miz and Chris Jericho after all. The former world champions were penciled for a brief program together, and the seeds were even planted when both made their returns simultaneously on Monday Night Raw a couple of weeks ago. Miz is now being paired up with Sheamus, while Jericho was moved immediately into a feud with Bray Wyatt.
July 15, 2014
A black eye usually is not something to be proud of. It is, however, when you're a lifelong wrestling fan being punched by one of the greatest performers that the industry has ever seen. Bray Wyatt received a black eye during a big live event at Madison Square Garden in New York City over the weeken due to an errant punch by Ric Flair. Reports are stating that the incident happened because Flair forgot that he was wearing his hall of fame ring. There is said to be no backstage heat between the two due to the injury.
July 14, 2014
Tour dates for Fozzy have now been finalized and announced. The band starts touring heavily in September, which means that Chris Jericho will be leaving around that time period. The former undisputed champion currently is scheduled to work WWE events during the month of September, but he has nothing listed afterwards. The belief is that Jericho is simply here to put over Bray Wyatt.
July 9, 2014
If you're a big fan of Chris Jericho, then you probably should not blink. Rumors floating around is that he will be leaving WWE very soon. Some are even saying that he only came back to work with Bray Wyatt and help him get over some more before joining the main event scene. Speculations are that he will be gone before the year is over and that WWE paid him a hefty sum to come back.
July 6, 2014
While he was widely viewed as one of the favorites to win the title at Money in the Bank 2014, Bray Wyatt was actually never in consideration as a champion by WWE. The company was dead set on putting the belt back around John Cena, as they felt that they needed their top star to be the face of the company while they're trying to win back the trust of the investors. Putting the belt on Wyatt might not evoke the same level of trust from people who might not necessarily follow the product as much as fans.
July 3, 2014
A lot of fans were hoping to see John Cena next month at the Comic Con event in San Antonio. They're going to be a little bit disappointed because WWE has been forced to pull the heavyweight champion from the event. The belief is that he needs the time to film a new movie. To make things up to the fans, WWE is sending Bray Wyatt, Brie Bella and Nikki Bella.
July 3, 2014
Shortly after Chris Jericho made his surprising return on Monday Night Raw, the Wyatt Family provided a surprise of their own when Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan suddenly appeared in the ring to attack the former undisputed champion. When Wyatt was in NXT, Jericho specifically requested to WWE officials to let him work with Wyatt. The belief is that he did so again upon signing a contract to return.
July 1, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
A lot of positive things are happening for Bo Dallas as of late. In addition to finally being called back up to the main roster by WWE, he also recently got married. It's interesting to note that he did not take any time off of television for the ceremony. The belief is that several of his famous relatives, such as Bray Wyatt, Barry Windham and Mike Rotunda, were on hand for the event.
June 27, 2014
Some bad news for those of you that hate John Cena. Rumors are pointing to him being at the head of the line as the next WWE champion. Cena is expected to win the title at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company wants to put the title back around the waist of their most proven draw. If Cena wins the belt again, potential feuds include Bray Wyatt, Brock Lesnar and Daniel Bryan.
June 22, 2014
Since his feud with John Cena cannot go on forever, fans have naturally wondered who WWE was going to have Bray Wyatt feuding against next. There hasn't been any clear indications on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown as to who he will transition into a program with, but rumors are floating around right now that it could be Sheamus. The two of them are scheduled to work against one another on an upcoming tour of Australia, so that could be what WWE has in mind.
June 20, 2014
Rumors going around right now has WWE giving the world heavyweight championship to a heel at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company will set someone up to feud with John Cena and Daniel Bryan over the next few months. Antonio Cesaro has been rumored for a few weeks now, but some are skeptical of that because he hasn't been given a ton of momentum by WWE. Management will either hot shot the belt to Bray Wyatt or go with the safe route in Randy Orton.
June 16, 2014
Over the last year, fans became aware that Roman Reigns was on the fast track to the main event scene in WWE. The company views him as a potentially big superstar, and they put that to the test this weekend at a live event in Canada. Reigns was given a headlining spot against Bray Wyatt in a Hamilton street fight, which featured interference from both Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. WWE is showing a lot of faith in Reigns by letting him close out the show on top.

NORMAN — After 33 years in the banking industry, Steve Faler has joined First American Bank's central Oklahoma lending team as senior vice president.
Faler began his career in 1979 at Security National Bank of Norman, a bank that was eventually purchased by Arvest Bank. Throughout his career, Faler has worked in nearly every banking capacity: teller, consumer and commercial lending, investments, cash management, finance and accounting, operations, wire transfers, budgeting, branch planning and administration. Faler most recently served as senior vice president and commercial banking division manager.
"First American Bank is ecstatic to welcome Steve to our lending team. His knowledge and experience will be invaluable to our customers," said Neil Schemmer, president of First American Bank.
Faler attended the University of Oklahoma, where he received his Bachelor of Business Administration in finance. He went on to the Intermediate School of Banking to get his OBA and then received his ABA at Commercial Lending School. Faler finished his education in Boulder, Colo., where he attended graduate school.
"Steve has a wealth of experience and will be an incredible addition to First American Bank. His expertise in lending will be combined with that of our current lending team to keep First American Bank at the forefront in commercial and personal lending in central Oklahoma," said Jim McAuley, bank CEO.
His goals line up well with the things that First American Bank strives daily to achieve within the community.
"Their commitment to provide outstanding service to their customers and their communities is what makes First American Bank such a special place to work," Faler said.
His position on the bank's lending team brings Faler to the First American Bank corporate headquarters in Norman.
Faler is a past board member of the Norman Public School Foundation, United Way of Norman, Christmas in April of Cleveland County and the American Heart Association. Faler is currently a member of the Norman and Oklahoma City chambers of commerce.

Northeastern's Fashion-forward Green Initiative
Who says going green means having to skimp on style? Recently Northeastern transformed more than 90 banners that once lined Huntington and Columbus Avenues and refashioned them into 300 one-of-a-kind tote bags.
The bags are recycled from red and white Northeastern-branded vinyl banners and multi-colored banners that were designed by local youths as part of Boston's Artists for Humanity initiative. Local artisan Hilary Law of Hilary Law Textile Design used the banners to craft the recycled bags in three sizes: a small zippered pouch, a medium-sized tote and a large tote.
The bags are being used as raffle incentives for the 2009 Senior Gift Drive. The drive encourages seniors to "give some green, and get some green".
"We have received terrific feedback from the seniors regarding the totes," said Bronwyn McCarty, associate director of The Northeastern Fund. "They like that this is the first time the totes have been created and are being used for the class of 2009. This has been a terrific addition to this year's senior fundraising efforts.
"These bags are a novel way for students to literally take a piece of Northeastern with them," said Bruce Ployer, art director at Northeastern University. "Not only are the totes functional, they are also a great example of Northeastern's commitment to environmental sustainability and out-of-the-box thinking."
Northeastern will continue to look for unique opportunities, including additional banner totes, that enable the university to recycle and have a low impact on the environment.

Removing Apps
Just got my HD, Love the phone, but there's loads of guff installed in it that I dont want there.
There's a whole host of demo games and more irritatingly Vodafoen 360. I go through any available delete option, and the options are either greyed out, or the app reappears upon delete.
I've called tech support @ Voda, they told me to ring HTC. Htc said the apps were not part of the original install on the phone, so must have been put there by VF. I called VF back, they were very helpful, but eventually fobbed me off without A- Admitting that the apps are put there by Vf, Nor are they locked to prevent removal.
I am paying for data allowance, that I should be able to choose what it's used for. I want to remove the 360 app that is using data on my handset, Or I'd expect a FREE allowance of data to cover this.
I want some answers please VF. Please explain why these apps wont remove.
If this is "Bloatware" then please update my handset to a base htc/android build of the desire HD.
You've got 5 days or you're getting it back, and my contract terminated.
I'm not an awkward customer, but do not appreciate being made to pay for something I neither need or want.
Seems a shame after 10 years!

Re: Removing Apps[ Edited ]
I think you'll be sending it back. I got told on their facebook page that they won't remove the apps.
Take your money to the carphone warehouse and get an unbranded one, that's what I'm doing next time. Plus I'm off back to Orange for their cinema ticket deal, saves me quite a lot of money over the lifetime of a mobile contract.
Re: Removing Apps
I got my upgrade from Vodafone pretty much just after the DHD launched. It does not seem to be branded with VF firmware?
Did these ship initially without branded firmware?
Re: Removing Apps
Anyway yes these phones are all debranded to begin with but as companies like Vodafone, Orange etc sell them, they add their own features to the original firmware. This is why you get delays in official firmware updates as they have to test the firmware with their own modifications on top.
If you have Vodafone 360, Vodafone Store or a Vodafone boot up image then it has been branded.

Re: Removing Apps
Posts mysteriously deleted, how unlike this forum...
I keep getting told my username's invalid, but i can log in if i reset my password on each occasion. Seems the new forum can't handle (.) characters in names...
Anyhoo... Looks like i'm gonna send this back on Monday. I'm losing my patience with it already.
HTC call very firmly placed the ball in vodafone's court, voda rep told me that the higher level support "weren't bothered to try and help me" and wouldn't give me a staight answer...
I emailed voda with a few questions the other day and got a reply to one of the points, just over the 24 hour timeframe they agree... I looked online for the answers, it said "call our 24 hour customer services" I did... i got a automated reply telling me to call back during opening hours... The website says "you'll be text a replacement voicemail pin automatically if you're locked out" - I wasn't
I was abroad, and VF kept trying to call me for some reason.. I wasn't going to answer and pay roaming for a sales call...
All in all, a right shambles.
Re: Removing Apps
strange - got mine online with vodafone & its unbranded - fortunately..
Re: Removing Apps
How can I tell and also compare what version of the ROM I have to the HTC?
Re: Removing Apps
settings, about phone, firmware information to show you version and rom.
Minse is running:
Build No. 184.108.40.206 (CL278886)
s/w No. 22.214.171.124

Ironically, according to HTC it should be running 1.32.405.6
From a blokey on the phone, then this appeared on the website...

Re: Removing Apps
Hi d_pendleton
Thanks for your post here. I'm sorry to hear that you aren't happy with the Vodafone 360 client software.
I'm afraid that you won't be able to uninstall this as it is locked into the firmware. However, don't worry because it doesn't cost anything and you don't have to use it. It's just there in case you did
Please let me know if you have any more questions and we'll be happy to help you further

Re: Removing Apps
alright Wayne,
Why do the apps have to be locked into the firmware? As you say, we don't have to use them so why can't we remove them?
I think these apps are available on the market place so why not just let us download them if we want them.
Also I'm going to moan like hell when we have to wait a couple of months for vodafone to update our phones when new firmware is released because of these apps.
Re: Removing Apps
Hi Chester29,
Thanks for posting. As far as I'm aware, the reason that the apps can't be removed is because anything included in a firmware release has to be embedded and so therefore unremovable.

Re: Removing Apps
Which surely begs the question, why's it there in the first place?
My returns pack has been ordered, I'm sending it back. Will await an update on the handset removing the now outdated and guff ridden firmware from the handset, and opt for one that can be updated with firmware when the manufacturer releases it, as opposed to when Vf have spent so long adding unneccessary applications to it, it's already outdated before it's released.
Re: Removing Apps
I received my Desire HD on Saturday and it to has got all these irritating demos & junk that I can't remove mine I too will be getting a return bag if its not sorted, spoken to a couple of voda people on the phone and in a local store, nothing useful from anyone yet
Re: Removing Apps
There are ways but it would void your warranty if you don't know how to do a restore. I can't mention it here as it got deleted, however if you feel strongly about it then there are options.
Its a lot worse previously and Vodafone has learnt their lesson from last time (HTC Desire).
Mobile: Samsung Galaxy S3
If I have helped you in any way then please click on the star on the left ^_^ Thank you!
Re: Removing Apps
I have been reading up on these "alternate" methods and voiding my warranty is something I'd like to avoid, I'd like to think I'm reasonably tech savvy but its more PC hardware not phone fiddling that I'm into, I'd have hoped with "the desire incident" that they would just leave the HD as it was supposed to be but apparently not =(
Re: Removing Apps
You'd think with the stink kicked up over the Desire and Galaxy S vodafone would of realised that these apps aren't wanted and just make them an optional download.
I'm guessing they get a bit of money in their pocket from putting the demos on, so stuff the customer.
Re: Removing Apps
I've not got issues if carriers want to add software to the firmware, but at least make it an option and have it un-installable so it can be down to the user's discretion.

Re: Removing Apps
Progress is made, sort of....
Spoke to someone helpful on my 2nd phonecall last night, to start with they were sending out the phones as they came from HTC, unlocked and no bloatware, then once they had finished "adding features" they stopped ordering the stock ones, and the telesales have no more in stock, however some stores may have the "standard variant" still around and if I can find a said store (they can't see stock levels at telesales) then I can send my Vodafone variant back to telesales and pick up the standard one from the store, so I've got numbers for my local stores from the guy but as it was past closing time I haven't had any luck speaking to anyone yet,
Fingers crossed and I hope this helps you if you're still in your 7 days since you get your phone period too

Women: Want to Add Years to Your Life?Women: Want to Add Years to Your Life?Key lifestyle changes can keep you living longer and healthierImportant factors that could be changed were smoking, being in poor shape, having fat concentrated in the abdominal area, and having high blood pressure
We know that being overweight, smoking, and having high blood pressure or diabetes all contribute to poor health. But how do these different factors affect a woman's chance of dying?
That question was addressed by a team of researchers from the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health and Human Services, who identified several factors that may lengthen or shorten a woman's life span."Our goal was to assess the relative strength and joint contributions of factors on the risk of death in postmenopausal women," the team said. They were particularly interested in factors affecting life expectancy that can be changed, such as diet or exercise habits.
The most important factors for living longer
The women who took part in the study were part of the larger Fracture Intervention Trial. Close to 18,000 women (with an average age of 68) answered questions about their health and dietary habits and gave detailed information about their medical history.
The most important risk factors that could be changed were smoking, being in poor physical shape, having more fat concentrated in the abdominal area, and having high blood pressure. It is interesting to note that women who were underweight were at an increased risk of dying, and heavier women had a lower risk-but only if they didn't carry their weight around their midsections.
What you can do to improve your odds for a long life
Fortunately, several lifestyle changes can increase your chances of a long, healthy life:
- Maintain a healthy weight-Especially aim to lose that tummy fat, as studies have shown that this type of fat distribution leads to heart disease.
- Get in shape-Exercise decreases the chances of diabetes, heart disease, and being overweight. It also helps balance blood sugar levels, lowers blood pressure and LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, and raises HDL ("good") cholesterol levels.
- Don't smoke-By not smoking, you could drastically reduce your chances of dying from cancer or heart disease.
- Keep tabs on your blood pressure-By getting regular exercise, not smoking, and eating a healthful diet, you can help keep your blood pressure at an optimal level.
Of these factors, smoking stood out as particularly hazardous. Smoking causes lung cancer, which accounted for more than 25% of cancer deaths among the women. It also causes chronic respiratory illnesses like emphysema and contributes to heart disease. "The strong association of smoking with mortality is a critical reminder that smoking is the most important modifiable risk factor that physicians and society should address, even in older women," the researchers said.(Arch Intern Med 2006;2469-77)Kimberly Beauchamp, ND, earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Rhode Island and her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA.

I love my Daisy Rock Bass guitars!

Daisy Rock is the best! Not only can girls rock with the boys, but now we can do it with style!

"At last, there is a 32" scale bass (Daisy Rock's, Stardust Elite) that not only possesses a slim neck, but is lightweight making it easy to rock out on stage..... without sacrificing the sound. Well done Daisy Rock."
David Ryder Prangley
I absolutely love my Daisyrock bass and I play it pretty much exclusively both with Rachel Stamp and on the session dates I do with Livan, Eric Faulkner (Bay City Rollers) and Adam Ant. It's so great to play, sounds killer, looks cool and always gets attention; everything I want from a musical instrument!

Greetings to the good folks at Daisy Rock Guitars.
My name is Andrew McClung. I am currently involved in a production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch in Chicago with one of your artists Nick Shelton. It was through Mr Shelton and of course the generosity of your company that I was able to have a Daisy Rock Violet Burst Elite Bass for our show.
I don't wish to take up too much of your busy time, but I wanted to pass along my gratitude as well as my admiration. I have been a bass player for 16 years and in that time I have never been more amazed at a instrument as I have been with the Elite Bass.
Everything about the bass makes it a joy to play. From the sleek neck through design to the pickups to the finish. The bass is simply wonderful. Through the course of our show the Elite has replaced all my other basses to where it is now the only bass I bring on stage with me.
In short.
Thank you for producing such a wonderful instrument. I look forward to using it in my future musical endeavors.
Andrew McClung
I would like to personally thank you for all the help you have given me in regards to fixing my Stardust bass. it is by far the best looker out of all my bases and it has a higher end sound and the smaller neck makes it a pleasure to play. I am looking forward to jamming with it once it arrives. again thank you and I thank daisy rock !!!!!!

Ex-Charger Paul Oliver dies at 29
San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Former San Diego Chargers safety Paul Oliver died at the age of 29.
According to the Union-Tribune, Oliver committed suicide. Unfortunately, the Chargers organization is no stranger to this type of tragedy. Legendary linebacker Junior Seau took his own life in May 2012.
"Everyone in the Chargers family is sad today after hearing the news about Paul," the team said in a statement. "He was part of our family for five years. At just 29 years old, he still had a lifetime in front of him. Right now all of our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this most difficult time."
The Chargers used a fourth-round pick in the 2007 supplemental draft to take Oliver, a Georgia product. He appeared in 57 NFL games, all with San Diego from 2008 to 2011, making 12 starts, and totaled 144 tackles, one sack and four interceptions.

Patch readers have long discussed how to
"Why don't we reduce the speed limit to 45?" Gloria Guerin commented on Patch last September following the tragic fatality of who burned to death in a vehicle that was rear-ended on the Arroyo Seco Parkway.
Caltrans seems to be listening.
As a result , Caltrans has announced a plan to lower the speed limit of the 8-mile stretch from Pasadena to the Interstate-5 interchange from 55 mph to 45, according to ABC.
Patch Asks: What do you think? Would lowering the speed limit lesson rush hour traffic and prevent accidents? What do you feel is the proper solution?
