Sir Sly
Sir Sly – Magic Man, Bel Heir
The mysteriosos behind Sir Sly are dark knights in the truest sense. Since first making their presence known last summer, the LA outfit have been running the tastemaker underworld with their monochromatic blend of vigilante pop, leaving onlookers with nothing more than a pair of explosive tracks and a hero-shaped shadow to go on. So it's with great pleasure that we're able to pull the curtain back today and unveil our next release, as we bring Sir Sly's debut 7″ into the world on Neon Gold next month in conjunction with our UK sister label, National Anthem.
Sir Sly is not one sir but three – Landon Jacobs, Jason Suwito, and Hayden Coplen to be precise – who have been hard at work for the past few months writing, recording and producing all aspects of their debut offering in Suwito's studio. From the arresting cold open to the ever-restless denouement, lead A-single "Ghost" doesn't just pass our every litmus test, it passes right through it, swimming through a fog of wartorn synths and floating with timeless melancholy in an ocean of unforgotten pasts. Elsewhere, the vinyl's AA-side "Gold" – for which the band have put together the perfect visual accompaniment (below) – jangles with moody desperation and reckless abandon, while digital-only B-side "Where I'm Going" delves deeper into the depths of the trio's doom-and-gloom pop noir.

The 57th San Francisco International Film Festival runs through May 8; all the details are here. Guardian correspondent and confirmed film fest addict Jesse Hawthorne Ficks checks in with his mid-SFIFF picks and reactions.
Charlie McDowell's The One I Love (screens tomorrow; ticket info here) showcases exceptional performances by Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss and should be a multiple Independent Spirit Award nominee come next statuette season. This unique genre fluster-cluck digs much deeper into marital problems than you would ever expect (audiences seemed quite flipped upside down after the film's world premiere at Sundance). Similar to films like Darren Araonfsky's Pi (1998), Christopher Nolan's Memento (2000), and Shane Caruth's Primer (2004), this will be a film that'll spark conversations and inspire repeat viewings.

Hilla Medalia and Shosh Shlam's Web Junkie (Israel-China-US) is an eye-opening investigation into China's declared number-one threat against youth: internet addiction. The doc observes as kids are sent (often against their will) to video-game rehab — and the takeaway is that many generation-gapped parents are even more clueless about emotions than their sons.

Twenty years ago, a few filmmakers — including Dan Mirvish, Peter Baxter, and Paul Rachman — rented out a room in a Prospector Square hotel, creating the first Slamdance Film Festival.
Their motivation: "the other film festival in Park City" had perhaps lost some of its independent spirit. Over the years this "little festival that could" has continued to showcase emerging filmmakers. Some of those upstarts have achieved A-list status since their Slamdance debuts: Christopher Nolan (more on him below) and Marc Forster, for example.
Running into Chris Eyre was easily one of the most exciting moments of this year's festival. Following his 1998 Audience Award-winning debut, Smoke Signals, Eyre premiered Skins at Sundance 2002, just a few months after 9/11 — and it still ranks as one of the most memorable cinematic experiences I've ever had.
The current second-generation movement of Native/Indigenous filmmakers took the spotlight at the Sundance Film Festival's celebration of the 20th anniversary of its annual Native Forum.
The event gathered some of the most important figures from around the world to not only screen their most recent films but to share artistic works that inspired them to become filmmakers themselves. Sundance favorite Taika Waitita — a self-proclaimed "Academy Award-losing filmmaker" for his 2005 short Two Cars, One Night, he's best-known for his wonderfully quirky 2007 film Eagle vs. Shark — read a sequence from Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker (1979), while his vampire comedy What We Do in the Shadows (co-directed with Flight of the Conchords' Jermaine Clement) enraptured Midnight Movie audiences at the 2014 festival.
Four memorable movies about frisky females from the 2014 Sundance Film Festival
1) Desiree Akhavan wrote, directed, and stars (with deadpan aplomb) in Appropriate Behavior (US/UK), a tremendously personal story about growing up as a bisexual woman in a Persian family in New York.

Blind (Norway/Netherlands) is the directorial debut of Eskil Vogt, screenwriter of Joachim Trier's Reprise (2006) and Oslo, August 31st (2012). It does not disappoint, and — appropriately enough, considering its writer-director's background — it won the World Cinema Prize for Screenwriting.
Tessa Louise-Salame's ode to France's punk-rock filmmaker Mr. leos caraX (France), or simply Mr. X, traces his 30 year career while also showcasing Denis Lavant, who stars in all five of his feature films.
A quick tip for today's entry: make sure not to miss Jennifer Kent's hair-raising, toe-squinching, and all-around terrifying Australian horror film, The Babadook.
More Sundance right here on Pixel Vision.
My biggest excitement of Sundance 2014 was the random email I received asking if I would be able to attend a "super-secret screening of a highly anticipated film by a major filmmaker." (Answer: DUH.) The packed house at Park City's defining Main Street theater, the Egyptian, had no clue what film was to be screened, though many thought it might be Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel.
In fact, turned out to be the premiere of Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac: Part One (Denmark/Germany/France) which is rated NC-17 (look for its theatrical release on March 21, or catch it On Demand starting March 6). Nymphomaniac: Part Two will follow shortly afterward, with a VOD debut on April 3 and a theatrical release on April 18.

Potatoes, rosemary, and Irish cheddar, typically the makings of an appetizer or side dish, are used here to create a savory St. Patrick's Day cupcake. The mashed potatoes add moisture and the ground dried rosemary packs the cupcakes with flavor. Irish cheddar makes an appearance in the frosting to tie the whole package together. Serve the cupcakes as a stand-alone snack or as a unique, surprising dessert.
Rosemary Potato Cupcakes

½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup apple juice
Cupcake Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, rosemary, and baking soda.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, mashed potatoes, and eggs. Beat until smooth.
Mix the oil and apple juice into the potato mixture.
Slowly add the flour mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Fill cupcake liners ¾ full.
Bake for 20 minutes or until cupcakes bounce back when lightly touched.
Frosting Ingredients:
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces Irish cheddar, grated
4 cups powdered sugar

Hi...I tried this recipe and it is really good. I had a problem with frosting. It did not get thick and I had enough left over to frost at least 10 more cupcakes. What did I do wrong. And do you have any suggestions regarding using the left over frosting? Thanks
By Victoria on March 24, 2012
Question. The amount of icing seems to be about twice what you would need for 16 cupcakes.

Graduate Program FAQs
- Is a graduate degree in Communication Studies the same as a degree in Mass Communication
or Public Relations?
No. If you are interested in mass communication or PR, please visit the School of Journalism and Mass Communications (408-924-3240).
- Who handles the admission? How do I find out if I'm admitted to the program?
The graduate coordinator processes your admission when your materials arrive from Graduate Admissions and Program Evaluations. Please be vigilant about reviewing your application status in CSUMentor and contact the graduate coordinator immediately with any questions. If admitted to the M.A. program, you will receive notification via CSUMentor as well as by letter. Usually this occurs in early/mid April.
- What if my undergraduate degree is not in communication? Do I need to take additional
undergraduate courses?
The graduate coordinator decides if you need to take additional courses, based on your undergraduate degree and previous coursework. In general, if your degree was in the social sciences, or the arts or humanities, you will not be asked to take additional coursework. Ultimately, though, this determination is made on a case by case basis.
- Do you require a minimum GRE score? Will a low score on the GRE automatically disqualify
my application?
No. We evaluate the GRE score in combination with other application materials. We read each application as a whole and look for signs that an applicant will succeed in a graduate-level program of study. Your GRE score is one indicator of future academic success.
- What exactly is the Graduate Record Exam (GRE)? How is it scored?
The best source of accurate and up-to-date information on the GRE can be found at the official GRE website.
The GRE is designed to measure verbal, quantitative, and writing and argumentation skills. The GRE general test does not test specific knowledge in any subject. The Verbal and Quantitative sections of the exam consist of multiple-choice questions. In its current form, the Verbal section tests reading comprehension and analogical reasoning skills. In its current form, the Quantitative section tests basic arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis. In its current form, the Analytic section consists of two short essay questions. Sample questions for all three areas are available at the GRE website.
- What is the best way to prepare for the GRE? Should I take a class?
We do not recommend that you take a GRE prep-class. To prepare for the exam, we recommend that you purchase a practice book. Taking practice exams will give you a feel for the unique structure of the GRE and prepare you to think under the time constraints imposed by the exam. Browse through reviews on any bookseller's website to find a good test-prep book.
- Do you offer any teaching assistantships? How can I apply?
Yes. We have a teaching associate program and teaching associates are selected competitively. Contact Dr. Fassett, email@example.com, for more information. The application deadline is in March.
- Do you require TOEFL scores? SJSU requires an English-language proficiency exam of all applicants who graduated from a higher education institution in a country in which the primary language is not English. For more information about that requirement, visit the GAPE website and direct any questions about TOEFL scores to that office.

Biblical Genesis; is it fact or myth?
Jesus always spoke in parables (Matthew 13:10,11,34,35). He also claimed he only does as the father does (John 5:19). None of the stories told by Jesus were literally true. Yet they convey lessons that Jesus felt were important. Could the same be true for Genesis?
According to Genesis, God created the heavens and the earth. Yet there isn't a single fact on HOW God created anything, nor is there a single fact about who or what God is. What I do find is a warning about the power of deception, and many parallels between Genesis and Eastern philosophy.
Eastern philosophy deals with the power of mind over matter. The quality and result of our actions is totally dependent on the quality of our thoughts. If our thoughts are not in harmony with the power that drives creation, our actions will be confounded. So the key is to understand what drives creation.
The power that drives creation is what the ancients referred to as God. To understand what GOD means, we have to understand WHAT DID create the heavens and the earth.
The church gave us its interpretation of God, but it is all based on a personification. A personification does not define nor describe God. If you can't see beyond the personification, you aren't seeing anything but fantasy. That is a serious problem.
Everything that we have created requires that we understand the creative process. The creative process involves the structure of matter, which can be traced all the way back to quantum fields, and the creative forces of nature, which can also be traced all the way back to quantum fields. The power that created the heavens and the earth includes both the structure of matter, and the forces that manipulate that structure. That is where we have to start if we want to understand what God is. Presently, science is closer to the truth than the church. But science doesn't deal with spirituality. There has to be a balance between the two.
Closing Statement from Roy Bourque
There are three different viewpoints;
1. Genesis is myth, and therefore nonsense.
2. Genesis is fact, and therefore supports the idea of a young earth.
3. Genesis is myth, but contains many deep lessons if you care to search them out. I am of this group.
Joseph Campbell made many connections between myths of various cultures and showed their relevance in understanding the mysteries of life. Although they weren't literally true, they had value as food for thought. Jesus said man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. To me, this is a direct association referring to food for thought. The fundamentalist says "the bible says that God has a mouth". The freethinker says the universe speaks through those who were able to understand.
Ancient cultures had two levels of thought; The exoteric was meant for the general masses (just accepting the literal word). Esoteric was the deep wisdom, reserved for the elite. The Jews have an esoteric teaching called the Kabalah. This goes far beyond the literal word.
Moses was raised in the house of Egypt and married the daughter of a Midian priest (part of Mesopotamia). These facts come from the bible. I was led to look into Egyptian and Mesopotamian myths and found many similarities to the Judeo-Christian tradition, yet these myths predate the bible. Genesis itself was written in the age of myth.
I see myth as a mystery that makes you think. The fundamentalist is persuaded by word alone. But word alone has many conflicts. The order of events in Genesis chapter one is different than Genesis chapter two. Genesis 22:1 says God did tempt Abraham. Yet James 1:13 contradicts this. There are many more. These discrepancies cannot be ignored if one is to take the word of God seriously. Why is there a discrepancy? What is it trying to tell you? You have to think about it, you can't just take it for face value. Myth demands that you use your brain to think and not just memorize.

Sep 22 2012: True. Maybe God has no need for time. Is it possible God exists in some other dimention without what we call time? One issue with cyclic universes is thermodynamics (pretty much ending the idea of perpetual motion). Also with each big bang a lot of gas is turned into basically useless radiation. Gases that are used to make stars... I dont know, this is one of those things we cant really say for sure but its fun to guess!

While President Obama won a resounding victory in his re-election quest, credit union trade groups celebrated their successes in the congressional races and turned their attention to the Congress's lame duck session.
A roundup of Nov. 6 results from the credit union industry perspective.
CUNA's political team harnessed the power of nice and the credit union member vote in two key races, spending nearly half a million PAC dollars on positive partisan communications that the trade association's leaders say is the wave of the future.
Credit Union PACs went three for four in the House.
Credit unions and their PACs were winners in the 2012 elections.
Credit union trade associations have entered the 2012 election homestretch, with both CUNA and NAFCU confirming PAC spending figures reported by the Federal Election Commission and website OpenSecrets.org.
About $600,000 in independent expenditures have been spent on four close congressional races.
A bill that would allow privately insured credit unions access to the Federal Home Loan Bank system has been introduced in the House.
Former credit union lobbyist Marvin Umholtz said the industry shouldn't fear a new banker super PAC, saying the Friends of Traditional Banking PAC, will function "more like a scalpel than a battle axe."
Despite the threat of a new banker Super PAC, CUNA says it has no plans to create a similar campaign fundraising mechanism for credit unions.

|A Simple and Complete USB Interface Package for Test Bench Development
|D. R. Breton1C. Cheikali1
|A simple and complete USB interface package has been developed together at the hardware, firmware and software levels. It targets the development of boards and test benches, permitting an easy access from a computer through a simple USB cable. The hardware is based upon the FT245B circuit from the FTDI Company. The latter being indeed only a « byte pipe », a simple and effective encapsulation frame protocol has been developed in order to distinguish between the different bytes. The goal is to propose a « plug and play » system comprising the hardware interface on the board, the decoding block to be integrated within a FPGA on the user side and the graphical software interface on the computer. Libraries for LabView and C code are thus available. The FPGA internal interface on the user side is simplified, proposing an 8-bit parallel bus with a 7-bit sub-address and the few necessary control lines. Interruptions are also managed. This project offers all the different types of functioning of usual data acquisition systems, which may be triggered either from the computer or from the peripheral side. Because of its simplicity and transparency for the user, it is already used on a lot of different acquisition boards and test benches in the nuclear and high energy physics domain. It is available on the LAL web site.

Ryan's buffet was located on a busy part of Rangeline Road, across from the Northpark Mall. The building where the restaurant was is nothing more than a shell now. But during our visit there this afternoon, a steady stream of loyal customers were still pulling into the parking lot. They were surprised at the closure, and sympathetic to former employees.
No food.
"They had a good variety of stuff at a fair price," says former customer Mary Hood.
No service.
"We're going to miss it," says former customer Michael Gilmore.
And no work.
"The worst part is, I'm going to miss all my regulars," says former employee Patricia Scales.
23-year-old Scales, who worked as a server at Ryan's buffet for about a year, says there were plenty of regulars.
Former customer Gilmore says he would eat at Ryan's probably twice a week.
Gilmore says, "Sometimes a little bit more. I might be lying!"
But the restaurant is now closed for good. Scales says it's impacting about 25 workers.
"We were more than team members. We were a family," says Scales.
News of the closure was served up on Wednesday. Workers were called in for a special meeting with managers, told they were being laid off, and given no reason why.
Then, according to Scales, managers asked workers if they could stick around to help clean out the building.
"98 percent of us did. We were family, and we were going to stick together until the end," says Scales.
Scales says employees like herself who stuck around got paid for eight hours, doing four hours of work. A short time after, moving trucks arrived. Those trucks are still parked in front of the building, one day later.
Those who favored this restaurant say right now, there's a bigger void than just good food.
"They're all out of work. No Christmas for them, probably," says Gilmore.
"We're all a strong group of people. I know we will stand up and go on, move on," says Scales.
Ryan's corporate office says their Joplin location closed because the company's lease expired in the building. No other details were available.
Scales says she was offered severance pay. Details of that were included in a packet that also included details of unemployment benefits. Scales has yet to look over all the information.

X Rebirth sees huge feature overhaul in 2.0 update
Troubled space sim X Rebirth is plotting a course for a star system where second chances might be possible. A buggy game at its fall launch, the latest entry in the X universe didn't impress when we reviewed it in February. But with the release of a massive, 2.0 feature update this week, Egosoft's space adventure might have found a better heading for itself.

Peter Gerard Jones, 46, was video arraigned Wednesday at 52-1 District Court in Novi and now faces charges for the death of his 84-year-old neighbor, Bernice Schauefle. Police say Jones murdered Schauefle January 13, 2014 at her home in the Country Place condominiums near Meadowbrook and Eight Mile Road. Investigators say a trail of evidence lead them straight to Jones. "Michigan State Police crime lab was able to locate shoe impressions inside of the residence. Novi detectives were able to match these shoe impressions to the shoes that Peter Jones was currently wearing.

Could the sequester reach into your pocket and hold on to your tax refund? There's talk that a chunk of the more than $300 billion in IRS refunds each year could be delayed if the sequester forces the agency to furlough workers.
We spoke to an expert, a local CPA who is also a federally-licensed enrolled agent. He's setting the record straight.
Thanks to the fiscal cliff, tax season this year was off to a rocky and late start. It wasn't until January 29th that the season officially opened.
And just three days ago local CPA's learned how the sequester would affect Arizona taxpayers.
CPA and vice president of the Blau Company, Aaron Blau, received this letter last Friday.
"This Friday marks the effective date of across the board spending cuts for nearly all federal agencies known as sequestration. We will continue to operate under a hiring freeze. We will continue to look for cost savings in the coming weeks and months," said the letter.
It came directly from the acting commissioner of the IRS.
"As a result, if sequestration occurs and our budget is reduced for the remainder of the fiscal year…"
Good news, says Blau, about the pending sequester and tax refunds.
"The sequester won't affect this tax season but these furlough days are going to come into play later on and that's going to affect folks in the collection departments and in the audit departments."
The IRS will endure across the board spending cuts. According to this memo sent to FOX 10 by a department spokesperson, it will operate under a hiring freeze and require employees to take up to seven furlough days. Rumor has it that could mean fewer or delayed audits.
"Now here we are doing taxes and I just want to make sure that I'm dotting every 'I' and crossing every 'T' and that I am in compliance with everything that I am doing," says business owner Elaine Boyline.
Boyline, owner of Red Rock Distributors, says cheating isn't an option, sequester or not. And Blau doesn't suggest taking short cuts even if the IRS is making its own cuts.
"The reality is there are still very well-trained IRS agents out there the majority of audits occurring are correspondence audits, they are over the mail anyway, so the furlough days won't really hit the boots on the ground locally here," says Blau.
Blau tells us the letter he received says there won't be any changes, cuts or furloughs until the end of tax season.
A number of people we spoke to today -- valley residents who have already filed -- tell us they have already received their refund.

The good news for Southeast producers is that the Environmental Protection Agency has given Monsanto permission to sell Bollgard through September of 2009, allowing producers the opportunity to plant that seed in 2010, depending on availability.
The late 2009 sales, according to Monsanto, was intended to give producers in that region a chance to adjust to the transition and have an extra year using BG/RR.
As most observers are aware, the predominate cottonseed variety in the Southeast has been Delta and Pine Land's DP 555 BG/RR.
"I think this is a very significant decision," says Kevin Eblen, D&PL Business Lead. "As long as a producer purchases BG/RR seed by September 30 of 2009, he will have the opportunity to plant that seed in 2010.
"This also gives producers in the Southeast a chance to adjust to the post-555 era. And it also helps them become comfortable with new varieties coming down the pike."
Understanding Anxiety
Eblen says he completely understands why producers might be anxious about finding a variety that will perform as well as DP 555 BG/RR since it was launched in 2002.
As part of its effort to help producers in the Southeast, Eblen says D&PL has scheduled a dozen listening sessions to help update producers in that region about new varieties that will be introduced in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
"One of the main reasons why we are making the move to two-gene (BGII) varieties is that it minimizes the risk of resistance," says Eblen. "We must move in that direction and deliver this to the industry."
Eblen is convinced that the clarification of the deadline for sales of BG/RR seed will give producers a sufficient amount of time to use a variety such as DP 555 BG/RR alongside newer BGII/RF varieties for three consecutive seasons before making the switch.
Positive Producer Reaction
Most Georgia producers are proceeding ahead with a note of cautious optimism about what lies ahead. They're encouraged that the deadline for purchasing DP 555 BG/RR provides access for 2010.
"Naturally, we're concerned about whether we're going to have a variety as good as DP 555 BG/RR," says producer-ginner Van Murphy of Quitman, Ga. "But I think it was a good move by Delta & Pine Land and Monsanto. I think they're going to try and have the inventories as high as possible for 555 for the next couple of years."
Murphy, manager of BCT Gin in Quitman, also farms 400 acres of cotton. He believes that Georgia producers have an open mind about new varieties to replace DP 555 BG/RR.
But Murphy and his fellow Georgia producers are anxious to find a variety that will compare with 555 in terms of yield and quality.
"So far, we haven't found anything out there that comes close to 555, but we're hopeful that we'll find it," Murphy adds.
"A lot of other factors will affect the situation in the next two years."
One factor will be the price of cotton. Murphy believes that if prices inch above 80 cents in the next couple of years, that will increase the need for more DP 555 BG/RR seed.
"We're hoping all of this works out for everybody," he adds. "Cotton needs to compete against these other commodities, and we need a variety that can help us reach our potential."

i just asked a rep from att about going over the cap. Its still 1 cent per KB. So if anyone wants to flirt with the 200mb cap better be careful.
Too bad they just dont charge like a 10-20$ charge or something or i would jump all over the 200 mb cap. In the past 8 months i went over 200 once. But it was like 150 mb over. 1 cent per kb x 150 mb= INSANITY.
The AT&T Rep was not accurate with the information he/she provided.
do we know yet if our grandfathered unlimited plan is going to carry over to the 4G when we upgrade?
yes it will, I asked att more than once, the questio is will the jailbreak be available soon after I get my phone?
if you are on ATT unlimited $30, which was the plan you HAD to buy when you got your iphone 2g, 3g, then 3gs. Was not an option for less plans until recently, at least i was unaware. So pretty much if you have an iphone, you most likely are on the $30 plan and you can keep the plan indefinitely even when you upgrade. I suppose if you add a line, you wouldnt be able to choose the unlimited plan, or can you?
If you are on the $30 plan then you are exempt from the tethering fee since, well you have mywi and unlimited anyway. so you dont need to pay $50. This is all fine assuming the 4g is jailbreakable and mywi works on 4.0 final.
but my question is does the 4g iphone have the hardware for the LTE technology (4g) that ATT is deploying in 2011? the 4g will be as fast as wired internet (supposedly) and make using the iphone without wifi acceptable. Plus, tethering 4g to even a desktop would be awesome and worth dropping home net.
a) It's not the 4G - it's the iPhone 4
b) The 'unlimited' plan has a 5Gb FUP - it's just not been enforced, yet
c) It specifically excludes tethering - don't be surprised if they start enforcing that now.
d) Does it support LTE? No
Or so I believe.
you know what i meant, but if it doesnt support LTE, i would highly advise you wait until the next one, because when they will have to make one by 2011 to support LTE since they are deploying it in 2011. If you upgrade in 2010, you wont be eligible for upgrade in 2011 when they will have to deploy a LTE compatible iphone. LTE compatibility is an upgrade worth paying for.
'They' are deploying it in 2011?
The clue is in the name, it is Long Term Evolution - there will be no major benefits immediately - it is the way forward but HSDPA/HSUPA has a long way to go.
I bought a 3GS in December (6 months ago) and have the unlimited plan. I use close to 4GB a month with streaming sports and music pretty often (I work nights and have a lot of free time), I plan to get the new iPhone 4 when it's released later this month, will I be able to keep my current unlimited data plan? And if I have to sign a new two year contract (essentially extending my current one by 6 months) will I still be able to keep my unlimited data plan for the life of the new 2 year contract?
My wife currently has a $30 BlackBerry plan, without any sort of data cap. She wants an iPhone 4. Will she be able to "keep" unlimited data for $30 or will she have to take one of the new plans?
The blackberry plans and iPhone plans are different so you will most likely have to get the new plans.
Only if you want tethering, you will have to switch over to the $45 2GB plan, but frankly that is quite idiotic since you can (most likely) jailbreak the new iPhone to use MyWi and tether away... (I've used ~40GB one month due to tethering and torrenting a ton of HD stuff).
Greed Greed Greed as usual. Now if 98% of the customers use less then 2GB it doesn't justify the price of $25 for that amount.. Only $5 savings and they act like they are saving you enough to go out and buy a new corvette with your savings. Now if you added up all those it would add up that's all they are seeing and not per individual. There is a big difference between 2gigs and unlimited and if you go by their stats they were making more before the change. Make it a flat rate since 200MB for $15 don't jive either. Make it $1 per MB with tethering included in the price and even that is price gouging. To ask for $20 extra and no added bandwidth obviously greed to want to make more from giving less is the usual status quo.
Man, I got to about page 4 of this thread and could not take it anymore. Everyone who thinks AT&T has ever capped their iPhone plan at 5GB is 100 percent wrong. Back sometime last year I called them when I knew I was definitely going to go over 5GB and AT&T confirmed that for the iPhone (and only the iPhone) there is no 5GB cap. You can use all the data you want without having to worry about it. Trust me. That same month I ended up using close to 30GB (that's right THIRTY Gigabits) and payed the same $68 bill I always have (19% off since I have a Hilton Hotels FAN and only 200 text messages). How you may ask. I streamed my TV signal to my phone using SlingPlayer at a resolution not usually support by the app over 3G (thanks to my jailbreak and 3G Unrestrictor). I did this everyday for at least 4 hours a day for almost the entire month. That app and the MLB.TV app (also using a higher resolution stream than normaly supported) account for most of my data usage. Oh and by the way, I am currently twelve days into my bill cycle and I am only at 2.7 GB (slow month), and that's only because I've been able to make my MLB.TV streams work on my work computer. If you aren't using at least 5GB of data over 3G on your iPhone, than whats the point of even having one? Use that phone like you stole it! I am living proof so suck that data with no fear my friends!
I never thought of myself as a data hog. I would just use my iPhone for what I wanted to use it for and never checked my usage. Now I check it and I see that I'm at between 4-5GB a month.
I guess I am a data hog and I didn't even know it. I would use the NBA League Pass app a lot over 3G as well as orb, youtube, last.fm, shoutcast, etc and I never ever thought I was a data hog. I always felt I was simply getting use out of my iPhone by using it for what it's meant to be used for.
Only reason I jailbroke is so I could use backgrounder and categories.
I'm a data hog and I didn't even know it. Crazy.
Hello fellow data hog. Don't feel bad about your data consumption. I for one say NEVER feel bad about using something labled "unlimited" to it's full potential. I instead say we should be proud of being in the the top 3%. Everyone else is just wasting thier money. AT&T needs to step up thier data game or get out of the way!
P.S. I'm currently streaming the Yankees vs. Orioles game using my SlingBox since the game is blacked out on the MLB.TV app in the area where I reside.
I remember when I would hear people blast data hogs, back when AT&T first mentioned tiered pricing and I was like, "Ugh, these data hogs are ruining for all of us!" then when they finally do implement it and I check my data I find out I use 4GB a month and am actually one of those data hogs haha.
The sad thing is, I just use my iPhone for what it's meant to be used for. I don't see the point in having an iPhone if you're not going to use all the great features available such as streaming sports.

BiographyMakaveli is more myth than man. Tupac Shakur was inspired by Nicolo Machiavelli, the Renaissance-era political scientist who detailed war strategy in his classic work The Prince. The West Coast rapper adopted the Makaveli alias at the height of his infamous beef with the Notorious B.I.G. and Bad Boy Records for the highly controversial The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. He finished the album shortly before his still-unsolved murder in November 1996. It shot to No. 1 on the charts upon its release, and featured "Hail Mary," one of the greatest dis records in rap history, as well as hits like "Toss It Up" and "To Live and Die in L.A." Meanwhile, Tupac fans recalled that Machiavelli wrote about faking his own death for seven days to evade his enemies. This led them to wonder: is Tupac/Makaveli still alive?

4: Mias, Elle, and...Abernos??"Stupid bloody magic!" Elle growled. She slammed the book on the table closed, dust floating up to her nose from the movement. She sneezed several times before leaning forward to rest her forehead against her palms, her frustration building.For the past three days she had tried, to no avail, to find a way to break through the protection spell that was keeping her trapped. On the first day she had sprinted towards the open front door, hoping that she could break through with brute force and determination. Mias had been leaning over the banister, looking down at her with amusement. The instant she made contact with the open doorway she felt the empty space contract outwards as it gave under the force of her weight, before she was launched backwards into the manor where she landed without grace on her backside. Mias had roared with laughter, which she responded to with a finger that she hoped was universally known.The second day was a day for experimenting. Elle decided to see if she co
3: Mias and Elle Share a KissIt took every bit of strength Elle had to keep herself from trembling. Mias still had his strong hands on her shoulders, his eyes furious. She felt so vulnerable, not because of Mias' firm hold on her, but because of the way his eyes looked deeply into hers, unblinking.The silence seemed to stretch on forever, and Elle wasn't sure how much longer she could stand it."Whatever you're planning to do to me, I wish you would get on with it already. This drawn out silence is killing me." She was so proud of herself in that moment, because despite the fear that pooled in her belly her voice didn't show an ounce of what she felt.Mias' lip twitched as if he was going to smile before his face returned to an unreadable mask."Unreadable, but so unbelievably handsome." She couldn't help but think."I don't think you fully appreciate the gravity of your situation," he said darkly.His usually mischievous tone was cold and distant, and she didn't like it at all. It sent an icy chill through her,
5: Elias Finds ElleElle woke with a start. She opened her eyes slowly, unable to make out anything but blackness beyond the flicker of the candle which burned low on the table beside her. She could hear the creaking of floorboards near the window to her left, and she turned onto her side and stared wide eyed into the darkness.She tried to scream when she saw a form coming towards her out of the shadows, but only managed a small squeak. She shot up in bed and scooted back until she was pressed against the headboard, bringing her knees to her chest.When the figure became clearer thanks to the candlelight, Elle let out a shaky breath when she saw that it was only Mias."You scared the hell out of me," Elle breathed, pressing her hand against her chest.Mias tilted his head as he watched her, a sly smile spreading across his lips. His eyes dragged over her face and down her neck to where she had the blanket tugged up over her knees, before his gaze met hers once more.Elle shivered. He was looking at her a
6: Elle Held CaptiveMias leaned forward in the saddle, urging his black steed forward with kicks and shouts of encouragement. The crisp night air invigorated his senses, and he pushed his horse faster still. The landscape was a blur around him, farmhouses and cottages coming into view for mere seconds before disappearing once more into the darkness.Mias pulled up on the reins as he came up over a hill, giving him a perfect view of the rolling fields and cottages which dotted the countryside below. He patted his horse approvingly, glancing up at the moon and sucking in a lungful of air. He closed his eyes, allowing the sounds of the night to envelope him, letting the cricket song and the distant howls of wolves calm him. Yet his thoughts kept drifting back to Elle.She was like no one he had met before in his life. She stood up to him, constantly challenging him and speaking her mind. It was refreshing, having someone so honest in his presence. People rarely looked him in the eye, their fear of
8: Mias Finds ElleElle rose slowly from the spot where she had been sitting for the past hour. She wasn't usually one to feel sorry for herself, but Elias' spiteful words, rough hands, and unwanted kisses had taken their toll on her. Yet in spite of his constant cruelty, Elle was amazed at how she had handled things thus far, drawing on an inner strength that she didn't know that she possessed.Drawing on that strength once more, Elle took in her surroundings in the hope that she would find something that could help her escape. After all, if what Elias had said about Mias was true, then she was in fact on her own. As she looked around the surprisingly large space of the cabin, hoping that she would spot something to aid in her escape plan, Elle held on to the hope that Elias had been lying. That seemed highly likely, given his behavior, but she wasn't going to pin her hopes on a possibility. As far as she was concerned, she was going to have to figure a way out of this situation herself.Elle inched her
7: Elle at SeaElias strode down the passageway, eager to see the look on Elle's face when she realized just how dire her situation had become. Something about seeing the look of helplessness on her face excited him, and he knew that it would work in his favor. After all, how could she continue to defy him if she had no choice but to obey him?Elias climbed the companionway and stepped into the bright morning sun. The familiar roar of the ocean filled his ears, and he sucked in a lungful of salty sea air. He smoothed the front of his dark shirt, tugging the sleeves at his wrists before adjusting his collar. He was never one to appear on deck unkempt, evident by the gleam of his boots and the seamless press of his black breeches. And he had to admit, he wanted to look presentable for his bride to be, for if he appeared to her in muddy boots and dusty clothes as he had the night before, what would she think of him?Elias glanced around the deck, and spotted Elle easily. She was leaning against the rail
9: Elias' RevengeElle stumbled forward onto the beach on hands and knees, just as a wave crashed against her. She fell forward onto her stomach, gasping for air as she tried to catch her breath. Her muscles screamed, her shoulders and arms trembling uncontrollably from the excruciating swim. Her legs cramped, needles of pain crawling over her calves when she tried to stretch her legs. But she had made it, she was alive.She rolled onto her back with a groan, her whole body protesting. Staring up at the starry sky, Elle pushed the damp hair that clung to her cheeks out of her face, bringing herself up onto her elbows. She looked out at the water which shimmered in the moonlight, and in the distance she could make out the silhouette of the Revenge, and she sighed with relief when she realized that it was moving away.Her relief was quickly replaced by guilt when she thought of Thomas. She had left him behind. She shook her head, unable to believe her own selfishness. She should have fought harder,
10: Elle's RevengeElle ripped her arm free of the large sailor's grip as he hauled her up from the ladder and onto the deck. She nearly fell to the floor, feeling so detached and disoriented from the horror she had just witnessed that her whole body was numb.Mias is dead.She felt a sharp twisting in her chest at the very thought, and she wanted nothing more than to crumple to the floor and cry. She looked towards the island, only able to see the outline of the cliffs and the glimmer of waves as they drifted onto the shore. Elle wanted to hurl herself over the side of the ship, to swim back to Mias and hold him in her arms one last time. But she knew there would be no point in it, that all the wishing and crying, all the promises and kisses in the world would never bring him back. All she could do now was hope that Mias knew what she felt for him. That his love for her was matched by her love for him.She watched as Elias climbed up the last few steps of the ladder with a wide grin on his face,
1: Mias and Elle Meet AgainElle glanced around the wide expanse of the ballroom, suppressing a yawn with the back of her hand. It was just after eleven o'clock and she was eager for the night to end so she could go home and crawl into bed. She wasn't normally one for these types of parties, but she had promised her friends that she would attend this illustrious costume ball that they had been planning for the past several weeks.She shifted from side to side, grateful that the long crimson skirt of her ball gown was long enough that she was at least able to wear her favorite pair of comfortable flats. Her friends had all opted for sexy high heels, but Elle knew that after an hour of that her feet would begin to feel like they were being twisted in a vice. The bodice of the gown, however, gave her nothing but trouble. It was so tight she could hardly breathe, with a neckline so low that she felt completely exposed. Her friends had assured her that she looked ravishing, but she felt ridiculous and more than a litt
Elle and Mias Chapter 5Elle would have never guessed that Mias had such a compassionate counterpart. It would seem that Mias, after all, subsisted as the evil twin and Elias coexisted as the wholesome one, constantly shadowed and undermined by the heinous actions of his brother. He had convictions
and they did not revolve around chasing skirt.It did not hurt that he was as devastatingly handsome as Mias, like a figure from an 1800s romance novel cover. He wore his hair long, neatly pulled back wearing a dark billowy shirt and nicely fitted pants that complimented his features. "I am not from Ærworuld," she confessed, one morning during their daily get-together. "Mias came to my world and kidnapped me. I do not know how he managed to go through the portal. But he did and he can, which I understand to be thought an impossible feat."Elias' mouth dropped open. "This is terrible news. No wonder he was able to recapture you, you could not escape... If I possessed the ability t
Elle and Mias Chapter 3Elle woke to a pounding in her head.Not again, she grumbled."Muuuunnngghhh."She ruffled her brow. Dear god, please let this all have been a bad dream. Please. I'm just going to open my eyes and
Elle peeked at her surroundings. Slowly she raised her head and hoped that her 10x11 dorm room would greet her with its faded paint and dingy light.Was there always this much green in our dorm? Maybe we have a mold problem. Please, be a mold problem. Please be a
As her eyes began to focus, it became more and more apparent to Elle that she was not in her dorm room. One-hundred foot tall trees towered over her. Leaves, dirt, moss, were everywhere she turned. Elle blinked. Was she in a forest?Elle massaged her head. Well, a forest is much better than being trapped with that sex-crazed kidnapper. "Oh good, you're awake." A tenor voice called out to her.Elle stiffened. Would this nightmare never end? I thought I escaped! Hesitantly, El
Elle and Mias: PrologueIt was dusk when Elle finally got off work and was heading home. Her legs ached, but she walked steadily, motivated by thoughts of soaking in the bath and then curling up in bed with a good book.Within a few blocks of her apartment, uneasiness began creeping up upon her. It felt like she was being watched. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up despite the warm night air. While only half convinced her mind was tired, she quickened her pace anyway.The faster she walked, the more the street lights illuminating her path seemed to flicker. Then all at once they darkened completely. The moon's soft blue glow took over casting shadows over the street as Elle broke into a run. Soon though, even the moon was overtaken by a passing dark cloud and she found herself running in darkness.Suddenly her legs felt as if she were trying to run through water. Though she poured all her strength into trying to move her legs, they barely responded to her mind's urgent need to flee. The sensation craw
Elle and Mias: Chapter 1Elle felt her body being pulled swiftly through nothingness by an unseen force. Still unable to scream, the only sound she heard was her own heart beating wildly. A blast of air halted the pulling sensation and before she knew it, her bottom came to rest on something soft.The veil of blackness lifted as her surrounding came into focus. She looked down to find herself seated on the edge of a king sized mattress complete with a four post bed frame, canopy, and matching curtains. Several large pillows lay in front of the headboard and gladly welcomed Elle's spinning head as she collapsed backward.To the right side of the bed was a white marble table adorned with a decorative vase filled with fresh roses. She could tell they had only recently been picked from the sweet scent they wafted into the room. It was a welcoming and calming scent that soothed her jumbled mind.To the left was a large window that let it bright starlight and moonlight alike. The sky itself was a velvety dark blue a
Elle and Mias Chapter 9"What is your name?""Do you need to know the name of your food?""Would you eat an unknown food presented to you?""So long as it didn't look weird or smell bad."The ghoul leaned in and sniffed her.Elle was annoyed. She crossed her arms. "It's not going to take long for some very demented and terrible people to come after me and find me. I would prefer to be dead when they arrive. I hate to rush you, but could you stop picking at your food?""Name?" The ghoul leaned back, raising an eyebrow.Defeated, Elle plopped her head into her hand and rested her elbow upon her knee. "Elle."The ghoul smiled, showing ghastly long, sharp teeth. "Nice to meet you Elle, my name is Leadbury. Galfridus Leadbury, but I prefer to be called Leadbury.""Nice to meet you, Leadbury. Now, are you going to eat me or not?"Leadbury looked her over once more, sniffing the air. He reached out a clawed paw. Elle closed her eyes. This was it. She would escape.She felt a definitive poke, as the ghoul's paw pushe
Mias and Elle - Chapter 1He had been watching her for some time, confident that he was well hidden from view to avoid any unexpected surprises for his
guest. Found entirely by accident, her presence now had a purpose. His lips curled into a smile in the darkness, intently observing her every moment as she tossed in her sleep.He blinked several times as she made a soft sound and her eyes slowly opened. She perplexed him. There was nothing extraordinary about her; just an ordinary girl. Yet, when he looked at her, there was something terribly captivating about her. Ordinary, but not of his world, which seemed a perfectly good enough reason for a man of his power to take her. But he had no need to explain himself; he did not need to justify his actions to himself or anyone. He wanted her; it was as simple as that. And he would have her.Suddenly, the balcony doors flung open and the sunlight came cascading down around her. Her hair fluttered lightly with the breeze that rushed in, and the way that her skin
Elle and Mias: Chapter 19"Oh, wow
" Elle's mouth stood agape as she poked her head out the carriage window as they approached the city by the sea.A breath of healthy wind blew past her face and Elle found her heart nostalgic for her homeland, for only a moment. The air was crisper, cleaner than the polluted clouds that too often hung over England and brought only gray weather. Here the sky was bright blue with hardly any clouds reflecting in the crystal clear water.It seemed almost mysterious for a place to hold such beauty while supporting a populous Elle would guess numbered in the tens of thousands. Wooden docks outlined most of the shore line as Ares trotted into the city along the coastal road. Facing the docks were several two and three story buildings whose ground floors all seemed to be devoted to business. Elle could smell the pungent stink of a fish stand, the gentle aroma of a bakery, and of course the merry scent of a pub and its happy patrons."The main thoroughfare is primarily filled with
Elle and Mias: Chapter 7The sun approached the center of the sky as Mias and his steed came over the hill. The horse walked at any easy pace so as not to strain his rider. Mias was holding his left arm to his chest while mumbling an enchantment. He had underestimated his opponent this time, but thankfully suffered nothing worse than a dislocated shoulder. He'd already forced the joint back into place and was casting a healing spell to numb the pain and speed the recovery. Such injuries were annoying, just like the one who caused them.He finished the incantation and slowly stretched his arm. There was no pain. He grinned in victory over the wound and grabbed both the reigns. "Let's pick up the pace."The horse whinnied and obeyed, breaking into a fast trot and then a gallop as he raced the wind back the estate.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Elle had completely forgotten about the time while chatting in the gardens with Abernos. They sat on a stone bench and talked about more cheerful things. To her delight, Ab
Elle and Mias: Chapter 3The clear morning transitioned into a cloudy grey afternoon with a chill wind that held a distant promise of rain. Elle sat in a chair looking out the window, her thoughts focused on just how she should make her escape. While it would be in her advantage to wait until nightfall, she didn't know these lands and not being able to see properly would surely get her lost.Instead, she'd wait until it started raining so any tracks she made would be washed away. She'd repel down the side of the building using the bed sheets tied together and then run as fast as she could away from this place. Not an entirely complicated plan, but simplicity often proved to be far more useful. Now all Elle needed was nature's cooperation."Elle," she heard from outside her door before it opened and Mias leaned his head in. "Might you be interested in a tour of my lovely abode?""No.""Come now, staring out a window for hours on end is hardly entertaining." He strode into the room and approached her side. "Avoi
2: Elle's EscapeMias stared at Elle's sleeping form beside him. She hadn't moved all nighthe knew because he hadn't moved all night either. He was still lying back against the headboard, watching her steady breathing and enjoying the rise and fall of her breasts beneath her lacy white bra. He had stripped her out of the gown she had been wearing, wanting her to be comfortable as she slept, confused as to why he cared about her comfort at all. His grin widened as her chest rose, deciding that caring about whether or not Elle was comfortable had to be the best damn idea he ever had.Sunlight poured through the open window, a slant of light cutting across the bed and Elle's creamy white legs. Mias adjusted himself on the bed, and Elle shifted slightly before going still once more.She would be awake soon, and Mias was suddenly aware that he had been lying on the bed in his clothes. He tried to smooth the wrinkles in his slacks and shirt, sighing with frustration when he realized not only was he a w

It begins in Linz…Feb 8th, 2013 | By hen | Category: Anton Bruckner Choir Competition, Choir Events, Personal Reports, Top Post
It begins in Linz…we say in Austria about the capital of Upper Austria. What exactly begins in Linz is not known, but isn't it all the more nice and interesting, if everyone can choose it on their own?
In 2013 this slogan is absolutely true for me: The 4th International Anton Bruckner Choir Competition is the first competition I organize this year (of course, with the help of my lovely colleagues)!
So my first business trip this year led me to Linz at the beginning of January – a meeting in Brucknerhaus had been set. There's so much to organize until the end of May and the Brucknerhaus is in the focus of interest, since the competitions and the festival choir concert will be held here and also the festival office will be located in here.
The acoustic of the two concert halls in Brucknerhaus is great, just like its location: Similar to a shell it opens right to the Danube River. Through its panorama windows you can enjoy an amazing view to the other shore of Danube.
A less than 10 minutes' walk leads you from Brucknerhaus to the main square in Linz. Starting there you can just go ahead: in one of countless friendly cafés in town or for a stroll in the Landstraße, the main shopping street in Linz. This is where I found myself after my meetings, as there was still some time left until my train's departure. It was pretty cold, some snow in the air, but anyway, it was beautiful. "And in May," I thought by myself, "it will be much more beautiful! Warm, bright, the air full of singing of the choirs who come to the Bruckner competition…yes, it begins in Linz!"
I would be happy if this slogan will become true for many choirs! "It begins in Linz" … but what? Maybe the most beautiful choir trip in your life, the most beautiful meetings with other choirs, new friendships across country borders and language barriers, your road to victory… Wouldn't it be nice, if all of this could begin during the Bruckner competition?

LENOIR CITY (WATE) - More than a dozen "one-pot" meth labs were discovered Sunday inside a Loudon County home on the 300-block of Abbott Road in Lenoir City.The Loudon County Sheriff's Office says while they were searching the home they found materials to make meth all over the home, even hidden inside the walls.
Investigators say this was the biggest meth bust they have encountered so far this year.
Charges of manufacturing and posession of meth are pending against Monica McCullough, 29, and Steven Bowers, 22.The flashing lights, yellow tape, and the Meth Task Force parked outside a home on Abbott Road Sunday was a scary sight for people living nearby."I didn't think about drugs being on this street," said one homeowner who didn't want to give her name for safety reasons.Investigators found 13 meth labs inside the home. Deputies initially came to serve a probation warrant, but when they were inside they found materials to make meth, as well as needles, pills, and razor blades.Four people have been arrested, but their names and charges are not being released yet because the investigation is ongoing.Residents here say it was worrisome to find out a dangerous drug was being made so close to their home."Once I found out what was going on it kind of concerned me because I know how risky it can be to break up," said neighbor Sean Brassfield.The sheriff's office says there have been problems at the home before."All the neighbors know everybody and kind of know what's going on, keep tabs and a close eye. I don't think anybody was surprised by what happened today," said neighbor Richard Hawkins.The home has been quarantined, but homeowners on Abbott Road say they're going to take a stand to keep their neighborhood safe."It's not going to be livable. It's got to be dangerous for the whole area and the house needs to go. It needs to be condemned, torn down, whatever they need to do and we're going to petition it," said resident Tommy Bryan.In cases where a home has been quarantined because of meth, it must be cleaned and inspected by state officials before anyone can go back inside.The sheriff's office says a member of the meth clean-up crew had to be taken to the hospital because of heat exhaustion. That person is expected to be OK.

Routine health exams are a cornerstone of quality health care. An essential component of such exams is the detection of major lifestyle risk factors, in addition to more traditional forms of screening.1 The New Jersey Behavioral Risk Factor Survey provides an opportunity to estimate directly the frequency of routine medical and dental contacts where such activities might take place, as well as the utilization of specific preventive screening services, among New Jersey adults. (Utilization of cancer screening services has been described in a previous report.2)
NOTE: The New Jersey Behavioral Risk Factor Survey is part of the national Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a telephone survey of adults aged 18 years and over. This survey is designed to monitor modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and other leading causes of morbidity and death. The survey is a cooperative effort between the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It has been in existence since 1984. The New Jersey Department of Health has been participating in the survey since 1991, collecting approximately 125 interviews per month through 1995 and nearly double that number since 1996. General design features and limitations of the BRFSS have been discussed elsewhere.3
Routine Medical Checkups
The periodic health exam provides primary care clinicians the opportunity to deliver a host of clinical preventive services of proven efficacy in healthy individuals. Preventive services currently recommended on a periodic basis for asymptomatic adults (depending on age and gender) include: measurement of height, weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol; screening for cancer and testing for vision and hearing disorders; counseling on calcium and folic acid intake, hormone replacement therapy, prostate cancer screening, tobacco cessation, drug and alcohol use, sexually transmitted diseases, family planning, domestic violence and unintentional injury prevention, nutrition, physical activity, fall prevention, and polypharmacy; and adult immunizations.4
Since 1991, each New Jersey BRFSS respondent has been asked "How long has it been since you last visited a doctor for a routine checkup?". The exact interpretation of such data is difficult, since little information is available about whether respondents are able to distinguish easily between routine examinations and other types of provider contacts. Nevertheless, to the extent that such data probably represent a consistent overestimate of routine medical contacts, they can be useful for determining general trends.
About one-fourth of all adults reportedly have not had a routine medical checkup within the past year according to the most recently available data from the New Jersey BRFSS, and about 14% of all adults have not had a checkup within the past two years (Figure 1). The frequency of routine medical checkups increases with age, but at least 12% of elderly individuals are apparently not having such checkups on an annual basis. Also, males report less frequent checkups on average than females at every age level (Figure 2).
The reported frequency of medical checkups varies substantially with health insurance status, as might be expected, even after controlling for age. Overall, about half (46% to 57%*) of uninsured adults under age 65 compared with an estimated 26% of insured adults under age 65 have not had such checkups in the past year. The combined BRFSS data suggest little net change over the course of the decade in frequency of medical checkups, regardless of age and insurance status (Figure 3).
Routine Blood Cholesterol Measurements
is one of the major modifiable risk factors for heart disease5,
the leading cause of death among New Jersey adults6. The
potential benefits of screening for high blood cholesterol levels include
providing health professionals with an opportunity to perform counseling
about lifestyle changes as well as other forms of treatment among individuals
with elevated risk for heart disease. The United States Preventive Services
Task Force has found "fair" evidence for the efficacy of routine cholesterol
screening in a clinical setting among healthy men aged 35-65 and healthy
women aged 45-65, based on the known ability of cholesterol- lowering
interventions to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease among persons
with high cholesterol in these age groups.1
About one-fourth of all New Jersey adults have not had their blood cholesterol checked within the past five years, according to the most recent data from the New Jersey BRFSS (Figure 4). The frequency of cholesterol screening varies little by gender, but increases with age (Figure 5). About one-fifth (22%) of adults aged 35-64 reportedly are not achieving targeted screening levels.
Cholesterol screening is less frequent among persons with 12 or fewer years of formal education, and to some extent varies by race/ethnicity regardless of formal education level (Figure 6). Multivariable analyses (not shown) suggest that being unmarried is also a risk factor for reduced screening levels, independent of these other factors.
data suggest that there has been a slight improvement in cholesterol
screening levels in key age groups over the course of the decade, at
least among insured individuals (Figure 7).
Routine Dental Checkups
Routine oral health care is an important component of total health care for all adults, including those who have experienced complete tooth loss.7 Questions about oral health care were added to the New Jersey BRFSS in 1996. About 28% of all New Jersey adults have not seen a dentist within the past year, according to the most recent data from the New Jersey BRFSS (Figure 8). Among the reasons given for not seeing a dentist in the past year were: "no reason to go" (45%), "cost" (17%), "fear/apprehension/pain" (10%), and "other priorities" (8%).
The frequency of dental visits varies somewhat by age and gender, with younger females reporting the highest levels (Figure 9). Conversely, more than one-third (35%) of adults aged 65 and over have reportedly not had a dental visit within the past year. Routine oral health care also varies by education and, to some extent, by race/ethnicity, independent of education level (Figure 10).
*Prevalence estimates given as ranges in this report represent approximate 95% confidence intervals for the underlying population- based statistics, taking into account the random error introduced by sampling. These confidence intervals were calculated from variance estimates generated by the statistical software package SUDAAN, used for surveys such as the BRFSS which incorporate complex sampling designs. Where a 95% confidence interval is not presented, the "margin of error" (computed as the standard error of the estimate multiplied by 1.96) is expected to be less than 3%.

A North Vancouver massage therapist who sexually assaulted one of his patients while telling her his touching was therapeutic has been sent to jail for nine months by a provincial court judge.
Judge Doug Moss of the North Vancouver provincial court handed the sentence to David Fierro, 43, telling him his conduct was "reprehensible" and "not to be tolerated."
"There's a clear power imbalance between yourself and your patients," Moss told Fierro. "This type of offence carries with it a high level of moral culpability."
Fierro's family members gasped and sobbed as sheriffs put handcuffs on him.
Following a trial earlier this summer, Fierro was found guilty of sexually assaulting the patient during three different treatments at Steve Nash Fitness World in North Vancouver.
The victim, whose name is protected under a court-ordered publication ban, testified Fierro sexually touched her while telling her he was providing treatment for a deviated tailbone. But a massage therapist expert who testified at the trial said the way Fierro touched the woman was outside the bounds of any accepted massage procedure. The victim said Fierro also had inappropriate sexual conversations during the treatment sessions and left her only partially covered by a sheet.
Fierro denied the allegations and said the victim fabricated the story, but Moss ruled the victim was more credible.
Prosecutor Joanne Verrier told Moss on Wednesday Fierro should receive a jail sentence of up to two years, saying he has a pattern of sexual behaviour towards female patients. In 2006, Fierro was disciplined and entered into an agreement with the College of Massage Therapists to get counselling on appropriate boundaries with patients with after two women complained about him.
In a victim impact statement, Fierro's victim said his actions have left a "deep mental, emotional and financial scar on my life."
"I feel he was very aware of his position of power" and used it to his advantage, the woman wrote.
The woman said she no longer receives any kind of health care treatment from men because she doesn't trust them and no longer works out at North Vancouver Fitness World even though she has a longstanding membership there.
Verrier added Fierro has never expressed any remorse about what he did.
Fierro's defence lawyer Noah Neaman asked the judge to consider not sending Fierro to jail, saying Fierro's wife and three children are dependent on him.
He urged the judge to consider a suspended sentence and lengthy probation term instead.
The lawyer said Fierro has already suffered shame and embarrassment, has lost his livelihood and will probably lose his house in North Vancouver.
He said Fierro doesn't have a criminal record. He added friends and former clients describe him as a "devoted family man" as well as a "very spiritual and generous person."
But Moss rejected that, saying a jail sentence was needed to denounce Fierro's conduct.
In addition to the jail sentence, Moss ordered Fierro to serve two years on probation and banned him from providing health care services or massage to any female patient.
Fierro resigned as a registered massage therapist the week before he was sentenced, just before the college was to hold a special disciplinary hearing into his conduct.
