Florida State always seems to be in the mix no matter what system college football uses to decide a national champion.
For the fourth time in the last five seasons, the No. 3 Seminoles (11-1) will play for a national title -- this time against No. 1 Oklahoma (12-0) in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 3.
The Bowl Championship Series' system of rating teams using polls, computers, schedule strength and losses, placed the Seminoles second behind the Sooners in its final standings released Sunday.
The matchup creates the possibility of split national champions. The AP media poll and the coaches' poll have Oklahoma and Miami ranked 1-2. If Florida State beats Oklahoma and Miami beats Florida in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2, there's a chance for co-champions.
The AP poll's sports writers and broadcasters vote independently of the BCS, but the coaches' poll crowns the Orange Bowl winner as its champion.
''If that happens, then that will be what it is,'' BCS coordinator John Swofford said. ''The BCS doesn't eliminate that possibility. We've known that all along. It does minimize the chances for it happening.''
Florida State coach Bobby Bowden understands his team could share a national title with the Hurricanes, who beat the Seminoles 27-24 on Oct. 7. Still, he says the BCS formula proves his team deserves to play in Miami.
''Everything was run through the computer,'' Bowden said. ''We had nothing to do with it. The facts were fed in during the season and it came out ranking us second. We will accept that.
''It's No. 1 vs. No. 2 in the BCS and if we were to beat Oklahoma, then I think we should be No. 1 in the nation in the BCS. But that probably won't happen in the AP unless Florida beats Miami.''
Miami coach Butch Davis said his team did its best to reach the BCS title game, being played in its own backyard.
''Regardless of how it turned out, it can't take anything away from our great season,'' Davis said. ''We had some great games, against Florida State and then Virginia Tech. We've won nine in a row and did everything we think we could have.''
Sooners coach Bob Stoops doesn't have to explain how his team landed where it did.
''I'm just glad there isn't any debate on us,'' he said. ''For a month, I'm glad I certainly don't have to defend our position.''
Oklahoma, the nation's only major unbeaten team after its 27-24 win over Kansas State in the Big 12 title game Saturday night, is gunning for its sixth national title and first since 1985.
Florida State (11-1) is trying to become just the seventh school to win back-to-back national titles and the first since Nebraska in 1994-95.
The teams last met in the Orange Bowl in 1981, with the Sooners winning 18-17.
In the final BCS standings, Oklahoma had 3.30 points, Florida State 5.37 and Miami 5.69. The clinching category for the Seminoles was computer rankings, where the Seminoles had a 1.28-point edge over the Hurricanes.
Last year, the BCS matched unbeatens Florida State against Virginia Tech, which were ranked 1-2 in both polls, in the Sugar Bowl. The Seminoles won their second national title with a 46-29 win.
In the 1998 season, Florida State lost to Tennessee in the Fiesta Bowl -- the BCS' first title game -- and the 'Noles were beaten by Florida in the Sugar Bowl after the '96 season. Florida State won its first national title in 1993.
The BCS standings were set up to determine the top two teams, with the three other bowls in the series choosing from the remaining qualified schools. Six major conferences received automatic bids, and Oregon State and Notre Dame received at-large selections.
The BCS bowl matchups were announced Sunday, along with most other bowl pairings.
In one of the more intriguing games, Miami (10-1) and Florida (10-2) renew a heated rivalry that ended in 1987. The Big East champion Hurricanes and SEC champion Gators are scheduled to play again in 2002.
Because Florida State beat Florida 30-7, Miami may need to win by a similar or greater margin to have a chance at a co-national title.
In the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1, it's No. 5 Oregon State (10-1) vs. No. 10 Notre Dame (9-2), putting both schools in a BCS game for the first time, and leaving No. 6 Virginia Tech (10-1) with a Gator Bowl date against No. 16 Clemson (9-2).
The Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 has been set for weeks -- it's No. 4 Washington (10-1) vs. No. 14 Purdue (8-3).
Each team playing in a BCS game receives $13.5 million, but only Notre Dame, an independent, keeps all the money. The other teams split the payout with conference members.
For Oregon State, a trip to the Fiesta Bowl came a day after coach Dennis Erickson signed a four-year contract extension admit reports he was being wooed by Southern California.
''People nationally recognize who we are, know what kind of a football team we have and what kind of a program we're developing,'' Erickson said. 'And getting in this bowl really tops it off.''
Earlier in the week, Pac-10 commissioner Tom Hansen threatened to pull his league out of the BCS if the Beavers were overlooked.
Among other official bowl matchups:
Outback (Jan. 1): Ohio St. vs. South Carolina; Gator (Jan. 1): Virginia Tech vs. Clemson; Citrus (Jan. 1): Michigan vs. Auburn; Independence (Dec. 31): Texas A&M vs. Mississippi State; Holiday (Dec. 29): Texas vs. Oregon; Peach (Dec. 29): Georgia Tech vs. LSU; Sun (Dec. 29): UCLA vs. Wisconsin; Liberty (Dec. 29): Colorado St. vs. Louisville; Micronpc (Dec. 28): Minnesota vs. North Carolina St.; Music City (Dec. 28): West Virginia vs. Mississippi; Motor City (Dec. 27): Marshall vs. Cincinnati; Mobile Alabama (Dec. 20): TCU vs. Southern Mississippi.
Several pairings won't be announced until Monday, including the Oahu and Aloha bowls.

Published in 1919, Winesburg, Ohio is Sherwood Anderson's masterpiece, a work in which he achieved the goal to which he believed all true writers should aspire: to see and feel all of life within. In a perfectly imagined world, an archetypal small American town, he reveals the hidden passions that turn ordinary lives into unforgettable ones. Unified by the recurring presence of young George Willard, and played out against the backdrop of Winesburg, Anderson's loosely connected chapters, or stories, coalesce into a powerful novel.
In such tales as Hands, the portrayal of a rural berry picker still haunted by the accusations of homosexuality that ended his teaching career, Anderson's vision is as acute today as it was over eighty-five years ago. His intuitive ability to home in on examples of timeless, human conflicts a workingman deciding if he should marry the woman who is to bear his child, an unhappy housewife who seeks love from the town's doctor, an unmarried high school teacher sexually attracted to a pupil makes this book not only immensely readable but also deeply meaningful. An important influence on Faulkner, Hemingway, and others who were drawn to Anderson's innovative format and psychological insights, Winesburg, Ohio deserves a place among the front ranks of our nation's finest literary achievements.
About the Author
Sherwood Anderson was an American novelist, short-story writer, memoirist, essayist, and poet. A successful copywriter and business owner, Anderson s experience of a nervous breakdown precipitated his abandonment of his business and family in order to pursue a full-time writing career.
Anderson went on to produce more than twenty published works in his lifetime, including the enduring short-story collection, Winesburg, Ohio, and his semi-autobiographical style served as an influence for some of the brightest writers of the succeeding generation, including Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, William Faulkner, and Thomas Wolfe. Anderson died in 1941.
Jeffrey Meyers, a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, has written fifty-two books, including Samuel Johnson: The Struggle, The Genius and the Goddess: Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe, Orwell: Life and Art, John Huston: Courage and Art, Remembering Iris Murdoch, and Thomas Mann's Artist-Heroes. His books have been translated into fourteen languages and seven alphabets, and published on six continents.

"Winesburg, Ohio, when it first appeared, kept me up a whole night in a steady crescendo of emotion."—Hart Crane
"As a rule, first books show more bravado than anything else, unless it be tediousness. But there is neither of these qualities in Winesburg, Ohio. . . . These people live and breathe: they are beautiful."—E. M. Forster
"Winesburg, Ohio is an extraordinarily good book. But it is not fiction. It is poetry."—Rebecca West

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Basic Concepts
We need to think differently about the approach to losing weight. Forget old-fashioned diets. There are very good reasons why they do not work well. Your body was not designed recently. The human body took shape millions of years ago, long before diets were invented. At that time, the lack of food meant only one thing, starvation, and if the body could not cope with the lack of food, the result was life-threatening. So we have built-in mechanisms to preserve ourselves in the face of low food intake. These defenses are automatically put to work. When you go on a low-calorie diet, you know that you are doing so to lose weight. But your body does not know that. As far as your body is concerned you are starving, and it will trigger a number of biological mechanisms to try and stop you.
To see how to avoid this problem, let's first look at how your body burns calories. The speed at which your body burns calories is called the metabolic rate. Some people have a "fast metabolism" and burn lots of calories in a short time. They are likely to stay slim. Other people have a slower metbolic rate and have a, harder time staying slim. Your metabolism is like the rate at which anautomobile uses up gas. An idling car uses up some fuel. When the car is moving it uses more, and when it accelerates up a hill it will use a lot more gas.
Our bodies work the same way. We bum some calories even when we are relaxing or asleep because it takes energy to maintain our normal body temperature and to keep our lungs, heart, brain, and other organs working. When we engage inactivities, the more strenuous they are, the more calories we burn.
Dieting Slows Your
The point to remember is that your metabolic rate can be changed. In a period of starvation or dieting, the body slows down the metabolism. The body does not understand the concept of dieting.
Remember, as far as your body is concerned, a diet is starvation, and it does not know how long the starvation period will last. So it clings to its fat like a motorist running out of gas preserves fuel. Remember the last time you were driving along the highway and suddenly noticed that the gas gauge was below empty? You tried to remember how far below "E" your gauge will go. You went easy on the accelerator, driving very smoothly, and turned off the engine at stop lights to conserve gas until you got to a station.
Your body does the same sort of thing when food is in short supply. It turns down the metabolic flame to save as much of the fat on your body as possible until the starvation period is over, because fat is the body's fuel reserve. This is very frustrating to dieters. They often find that, even though they are eating very little, their bodies do not easily shed the pounds. Even worse, the slowed metabolism can continue beyond the dieting period, sometimes for weeks, according to studies at the University of Pennsylvania and elsewhere. For that reason, fat is easily and rapidly accumulated again after the dieting period. This causes the familiar yo-yo phenomenon, in which dieters lose some weight, then rebound to a higher weight than they started with.
Here is the first step to keeping your metabolic rate up: Make sure that your diet contains at least 10 calories per pound of your ideal body weight.
This means that if you are aiming for a weight of 150 pounds, your daily menu should contain at least 1500 calories. Weight loss will be gradual, but you will not slow your metabolism and, so, you will be able to retain your progress.
Minimum Calories per day
Ideal Weight X 10 calories = Calories
150 x 10 calories = 1500 Calories
180 x 10 calories = 1800 Calories
Avoiding Binges
There is another problem with skimpy eating. Not only does the body lower its metabolic flame to conserve energy, but it also gets ready to take maximal advantage of any food source it finds. When food becomes available, there is a tremendous tendency to binge, in what is known as the restrained-eater phenomenon. You know the pattern. You have been dieting for several days, and suddenly someone brings home a carton of ice cream. A little bit won't hurt, you decide, and before you know it you are scraping the bottom of the carton and digging around the cracks for every last bit. You then scold yourself for your "lack of willpower." The truth is that the problem was not willpower at all, but the innate biological programming of the human body. The diet turned on the "'anti-starvation" plan that is built into every human being. Your body assumed that any food in front of you might be the only calorie source you might have for a while, so it demanded a binge.
It is not a question of weak will or gluttony. The human body has a built-in tendency to binge after periods of starvation.
For a similar reason, it is best not to skip meals. Skipping breakfast and lunch leads to overeating later in the day. So, eat regular meals and avoid very-low-calorie diets.
Bulimia binge eating often followed by purging almost always begins with a diet. And as the binging begins, shame and secrecy often follow. If this has happened to you, remember that binging is not a moral failing. It is a natural biological consequence of dieting.

In case you don't understand what this show is all about, let us take a second to explain it. You see, in every episode they convince four brides to go to one anothers' weddings. They then each judge the others' weddings and whomever gets the highest score gets a really swanky honeymoon. Our concern, were it our wedding, would be paying for these other brides to attend - weddings are expensive and they charge by the head even if that head belongs to a bride who isn't eating in order to stay thing for her impending nuptials.

A 6-5 overtime road win on a Saturday in the springtime. That's the recipe for the ideal game recap — at least as measured by pageviews. Over the weekend I crunched some numbers to figure out what kind of recap stories get lots of readers and which get sucked in the abyss never to be read or spoken of again. What I discovered was summary evidence against the people who say the Internet thrives on negativity.
Wins drive views.
Also, my dog is in this video. Subscribe to the RMNB YouTube channel, as we'll have a lot more stuff coming soon. Including, eventually, coverage of Actual Hockey.
Since they come up pretty quick in the video, I've included the charts below.
These charts, by the way, show the percentage difference in each group compared to the overall average pageviews for a game recap in the season. So if the purple bar is eight below zero, that means people read recaps of shutouts 8% less than normal.

Birmingham City's midfielder Lee Bowyer will be suspended for the next three games after accepting a charge of violent conduct following the game against Arsenal at St Andrew's on Saturday.
The match referee Peter Walton confirmed to the Football Association that had he seen it, he would have sent Bowyer off for a second half tangle with Bacary Sagna close to the Garrison Lane Stand touchline.
That means the FA have the powers to punish retrospectively – they can only do so in cases where the referee has not seen the original incident – and Bowyer will now miss tonight's Premier League game at Blackpool, an FA Cup trip to Millwall on Saturday and next Tuesday's Carling Cup semi-final first leg at West Ham United. He will return for the derby match with Aston Villa at St Andrew's on 16 January.
Alex McLeish, the Birmingham manager, told the club's website: "We accept the decision and will now have to move forward into the next three games without the services of Bowyer. We have got a good discipline record at this club and stress to the players every week how important discipline is."

Android OS Tops Smartphone Market
136 million Android units shipped, making up 75% of the market.
The Android mobile operating system was found on three out of every four smartphones shipped in the third quarter of 2012, according to a recent report from International Data Corporation (IDC). The report says 136 million Android units were shipped, making up 75 percent of the roughly 181 million total smartphones shipped during the quarter. IDC notes that Android's growth rate of 91 percent was nearly double that of the overall market and that Samsung again led vendors in the Android phone space.
The report shows Apple's iOS in second place with 14.9 percent of market share, and BlackBerry in third at just over 4 percent at the end of the quarter. However, IDC points out that BlackBerry 10 is planned for 2013 and says "demand for BlackBerry and its wildly popular BBM service is strong within multiple key markets worldwide, and the number of subscribers continues to increase."
The largest decline was seen by Symbian, which fell to 2.3 percent – compared to 14.6 percent in 3Q11. The major vendors now supporting Symbian are transitioning to other operating systems and are expected to cease shipping Symbian-powered smartphones in 2013, IDC said.
Microsoft's Windows Phone shipped 3.6 million units worldwide; however, according to the report, that could change when multiple Windows Phone 8 smartphones reach the market in the fourth quarter. You can read IDC's press release here.

LOS ANGELES -- The NBA All-Stars are coming back to a city filled with stars.
The league is bringing its All-Star Game and weekend-long festivities to Los Angeles for a record fifth time in 2011, continuing a trend of taking its midwinter break in a warm weather city.
Commissioner David Stern made the announcement Sunday before Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Lakers and Orlando Magic.
The 60th game will be played Feb. 20 at Staples Center, also the site of the 2004 game.
"For one week, L.A. will become the basketball capital of the world," Stern said. "It is always that way at All-Star, and it's one of my favorite events because not only does the world focus on us, but our legends come in and it becomes part of a family reunion, and this is a big deal for us."
The city also hosted the game in 1963 at the Sports Arena, and at the Forum in suburban Inglewood in 1972 and '83, when Marvin Gaye performed a memorable version of the national anthem.
Stern said he didn't hesitate in awarding the event just seven years after it was held in the same city.
"We're likely to shorten the rotation a bit because it's getting more difficult to find cities with the kinds of amenities, close hotel accommodations, the convention center and the like, and LA has been a popular destination," he said.
The commissioner said Orlando and its yet unfinished new arena is a candidate to again host All-Star weekend "in the very near future."
This year's event was in Phoenix and next year it will be in Dallas. Warm weather climates in major tourist destinations appeal to the NBA's owners and international broadcasters, Stern said.
"Our guests seem to come in greater numbers to warm weather, and that's something we're going to have to face up to and deal with as we seek to attract the largest number," he said.
Stern said the event carries an economic impact of $100 million for Los Angeles.
"Anybody that brings $100 million to my town at a time when the economy isn't doing well, and it'll be 2011, and hopefully we'll be pulling it out," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said, "but obviously this will be a great shot in the arm, a great opportunity for us to show off L.A. All I say is that every one of you please spend as much money you can in our town."
Staples Center will be the site of the Rookie Challenge, Youth Jam and All-Star Saturday Night. The All-Star Jam Session, an interactive fan experience, will be staged at the convention center next door.
"We actually tried to bid on the finals, but David assured me that despite what is occasionally written, those are earned, not awarded," said Tim Leiweke, president and CEO of AEG, which owns the arena.
By 2011, a 54-story, 1,001-room complex that includes two hotels and 224 luxury condos will be completed, giving the NBA additional space across the street from Staples Center. The LA Live entertainment district with nightclubs and restaurants is already open next to the hotel site.
"I'll be the first major sporting event to be hosted in the campus with everything open," Leiweke said.
In 2004, Lakers teammates Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant combined for 44 points to give the Western Conference a 136-132 victory over the East. O'Neal earned MVP honors. This year in Phoenix, O'Neal and Bryant shared the MVP award and helped the West beat the East 146-119.

CIO Perspective
In this series of columns, I am presenting the five key elements to help ensure the success of major IT programs. A key element includes putting a program governance model in place that recognizes the proper roles and authorities of the important stakeholders.
Too often, I have reviewed programs in which the program manager is attempting to address executives' differing -- and, in some cases, opposite -- views of what constitute the program's priorities. In such cases, even the best manager fails if the program governance model does not work.
Governance drives alignment among key decision-makers in an organization. We have heard for decades that IT programs fail because of ill-defined requirements or poorly managed requirements scope throughout the life cycle of a program. Although true, that failure is a symptom of a more fundamental underlying cause: the inability for all key stakeholders in a program to agree on desired outcomes and the approaches to meet those outcomes.
Change is inevitable in all IT programs, so achieving such alignment is not a one-time exercise at the start of a program. Alignment is an ongoing process that is critical throughout an investment's strategic planning, design, development and implementation. Therefore, governance must be viewed as a full life-cycle process. And for complex IT systems, there are at least a half-dozen stakeholder organizations that must be aligned, including the strategy organization, the business or mission owner of the system, IT, finance, procurement, legal, security and privacy. Ensuring that all key stakeholders are involved in important decisions is an essential element to achieving genuine alignment.
The fundamentals of IT program management
Program management: The people factor
Program governance works best when there is a single, transparent reporting relationship for a program manager to an oversight (program-level) governance board. The board of executives from key stakeholder organizations must be empowered to make decisions that are binding for their organizations and create a partnership among all the stakeholders. The function of the governance board is not to usurp the authorities of the program manager. Rather, it is to provide a forum by which the program manager can bring key issues and trade-off decisions to an informed, empowered body that has a vested interest in that program's success and views the program manager as a trusted adviser and subject-matter specialist.
In today's environment of more incremental and even agile development, a program in design or development should have a governance board that meets no less than monthly and in some cases biweekly, depending on the type of program and the life-cycle stage of the investment. Not only does an active program governance board support accountability, it also fosters transparency.
Creating a culture of partnership and trust is vital to the true alignment needed to support IT programs. Hence, the governance framework must foster that trusting and collaborative decision-making environment. I recommend that program governance boards be co-led by the business owner and IT executive for an IT program to promote a partnership model and ensure that no one organization dominates. Collaboration in IT program governance brings forth the best ideas, melds varied interests and unifies efforts.
Further, decisions made by a governance board should be consensus driven, not reduced to a vote-counting exercise. If a program governance board cannot reach a key decision through consensus, the decision should be escalated to the board at the next highest level (typically an investment review board) or, if need be, to the head of the agency.
By doing that, however, the board is abdicating its decision-making authority. In an organization with mature governance, boards will force themselves to make the tough decisions -- which is just what an agency's leaders should expect.

Every 30 seconds my WP blog (using P2) throws up a little dialog at the bottom of the browser that says, "NaN new update(s). Go to homepage."
This appears with the latest Safari, Firefox and Chrome on a Mac, and IE 10 on a PC, and Safari on iOS (basically every browser I can easily test). Interestingly, I even see this when previewing the P2 theme in the wordpress.org theme browser.
Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a patch or fix?

Danke !!!!!!! I was looking for this :0) Ri
I made this but it curdled when I added the eggs and I am at a loss to understand why as everything was at room temperature. It still baked well and tasted lovely but it was lumpy as a batter. Also the 3 tablespoons=150grams of flour seemed a bit off so I just added the tablespoons and didn't weigh the flour. I may try it again to see if I get better results.
You've so inspired me that I surprised my mom for her birthday using your suggestion of topping with thick vanilla pudding and strawberries. When I showed up at her door, she cried. Not to worry, it was tears of joy!
I just made it last night and it was a hit! thanks!
Inge, thanks for posting a lovely recipe for cake bottom. I made this paired with Thorsten's Rhubarb Cake #168470, subbing lemon zest for the vanilla. It turned out lovely and moist. Reminded me of my mother in law's fruit filled cakes. Delicous!
Inge, this made for a wonderful strawberry shortcake. Beautiful presentation, great taste and texture, nicely sweetened. I put 1 cup of vanilla pudding on the base followed by 1 lb fresh strawberries, which I mixed with a glaze made from 1/2 c pineapple juice, 2 T sugar, and 1 tsp Knox unflavored gelatin. Topped with whipped cream, this made for a perfect summer dessert. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this recipe Inge. This is definitely something that will always make me think of 'Kaffeetrinken' at my mum's house. It makes a lovely nice and moist cake bottom, that's great filled with black cherries, tinned apricots/nectarines or my favourite fresh strawberries! It's really quick and easy to make as well. My baking tin is only 9 inches (24cm) but it still worked out okay, I just had a little more dough to lick of the spoon! ;)
Thanks for suggesting this recipe to make in my new pan. I followed your directions and it worked perfectly! I was concerned that there would not be enought batter as it barely covered the bottom of the pan but as it baked it made the perfect amount. I filled the top space with vanilla pudding. Then I layered on the strawberries and dotted with whipped cream. I served this to guests and there was none left over, thanks for sharing!

Poland welcomed with joy Friday the decision by Pope Francis to make former Polish pontiff Jean Paul II a saint, as well as another predecessor John XXIII.
"We are happy, because we have a concrete document, a decree signed today by the Holy Father which officially recognises the miracle due to the intercession of John Paul II," secretary for the Polish episcopate Wojciech Polak told the PAP news agency.
Father Jozef Kloch, spokesman for the episcopate, described the news as "an immense joy", speaking on public radio.
"An immense joy for the Church, but also for all Poles who have John Paul II in their hearts," he said.
John Paul II was hugely popular among Catholics through his 27-year papacy (1978-2005), and helped topple Communism although he alienated many with his conservative views and was blamed for hushing up multiple scandals over paedophile priests.
The Vatican sped up his path to sainthood, which normally begins five years after the death of the person in question.
"Really I am so happy that this process is nearing its end, although I thought it would be quicker," said Leszek Traczyk, a resident of Warsaw speaking to AFP at the Pilsudski Square.
It was at this square that John Paul II made a famous speech in 1979 in his first visit to Poland as pope, seen as having given the nation impetus to oppose its communist regime.
In a rare exception, Francis also announced the canonisation of John XXIII (1958-1963), despite only having one confirmed miracle, instead of the usual requirement of two.
The Vatican said the canonisations would take place before the end of the year.

20/07/2016A mathematician at the University of Strathclyde has shared in a prestigious prize for research into methods for accelerating the diagnosis of strokes.
19/07/2016For the first time, researchers led by Tufts University engineers have integrated nano-scale sensors, electronics and microfluidics into threads - ranging from simple cotton to sophisticated synthetics - that can be sutured through multiple layers of tissue to gather diagnostic data wirelessly in real time, according to a paper published in Microsystems & Nanoengineering.
08/07/2016Researchers in The Netherlands have coupled machine learning methods with a special MRI technique that measures the perfusion, or tissue absorption rate, of blood throughout the brain to detect early forms of dementia, such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI)., according to a new study published online in the journal Radiology.
01/07/2016Similar to long-established list of essential medicines, a standard list of essential diagnostic test could help improve capacity and quality of testing in developing nations.
01/07/2016Handheld, mobile phone-based microscopes can be used in developing countries after minimal training of community laboratory technicians to diagnose intestinal parasites quickly and accurately.
22/06/2016A doctor's guidance may reassure us more than we realize -especially if she says she is likely to recommend treatment in her field of expertise, known as "specialty bias."
20/06/2016Researchers at the Texas Analog Center of Excellence (TxACE) at UT Dallas are working to develop an affordable electronic nose that can be used in breath analysis for a wide range of health diagnosis.
03/06/2016Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology (EIMB RAS), the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry (IBCh) and a number of other Russian research centers have developed a new method of diagnosing colorectal cancer. The results of the study have been published in Cancer Medicine.
20/05/2016More than 7 in 10 older adults who suffer hip fractures aren't told they have the bone-weakening disease osteoporosis - despite the fact that hip fractures nearly always signify the presence of this potentially debilitating condition, according to revealing new research by Northwell Health physicians.
10/05/2016Testing for health conditions usually involves needles, X-rays and other invasive or uncomfortable measures. To make diagnostics less burdensome for patients, scientists are developing alternatives, looking for disease markers in urine - and even spit.

Richard Shiro, Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Already pilloried for long wait times for medical appointments, the beleaguered Department of Veterans Affairs has fallen short of another commitment: to attend to the needs of the rising ranks of female veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, many of them of child-bearing age.
Even the head of the VA's office of women's health acknowledges that persistent shortcomings remain in caring for the 390,000 female vets seen last year at its hospitals and clinics — despite an investment of more than $1.3 billion since 2008, including the training of hundreds of medical professionals in the fundamentals of treating the female body.
According to an Associated Press review of VA internal documents, inspector general reports and interviews:
Nationwide, nearly one in four VA hospitals does not have a fulltime gynecologist on staff. And about 140 of the 920 community-based clinics serving veterans in rural areas do not have a designated women's health provider, despite the goal that every clinic would have one.
When community-based clinics refer veterans to a nearby university or other private medical facility to be screened for breast cancer, more than half the time their mammogram results are not provided to patients within two weeks, as required under VA policy.
Female veterans have been placed on the VA's Electronic Wait List, which consists of all new patients for whom appointments cannot be scheduled in 90 days or less, at a higher rate than male veterans.
And according to a VA presentation last year, female veterans of child-bearing age were far more likely to be given medications that can cause birth defects than were women being treated through a private HMO.
"Are there problems? Yes," said Dr. Patricia Hayes, the VA's chief consultant for women's health in an AP interview. "The good news for our health care system is that as the number of women increases dramatically, we are going to continue to be able to adjust to these circumstances quickly."
The 5.3 million male veterans who used the VA system in fiscal year 2013 far outnumbered female patients, but the number of women receiving care at VA has more than doubled since 2000. The tens of thousands of predominantly young, female veterans returning home has dramatically changed the VA's patient load, and the system has yet to fully catch up. Also, as the total veteran population continues to decrease, the female veteran population has been increasing year after year, according to a 2013 VA report.
All enrolled veterans can use what the VA describes as its "comprehensive medical benefits package," though certain benefits may vary by individual and ailment, just like for medical care outside the VA system. The VA typically covers all female-specific medical needs, aside from abortions and in-vitro fertilization.
The strategic initiatives, which sprang from recommendations issued six years ago to enhance women's health system-wide, have kick started research about women veterans' experience of sexual harassment, assault or rape in a military setting; established working groups about how to build prosthetics for female soldiers; and even led to installation of women's restrooms at the more than 1,000 VA facilities.
Yet enduring problems with the delivery of care for women veterans are surfacing now amid the growing criticism of the VA's handling of patient care nationwide and allegations of misconduct, lengthy wait times and potential unnecessary deaths.
Used to treating the men who served in Vietnam, Korea or World War II, many of the VA's practitioners until a few years ago were unaccustomed to treating menopause or giving advice about birth control.

President Barack Obama exacted his revenge Saturday after weeks of attacks from his would-be Republican challenger Donald Trump, joking that the billionaire businessman could bring change to the White House, transforming it from a stately mansion into a tacky casino with a whirlpool in the garden.
With Trump in attendance, Obama used the White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner to mock the reality TV star's presidential ambitions.
The president said Trump has shown the acumen of a future president, from firing Gary Busey on a recent episode of "Celebrity Apprentice" to focusing so much time on conspiracy theories about Obama's birthplace.
Mr Trump has Obama (& the rest of the candidates) very worried. I love the guy and his political positions; he is EXACTLY what America needs to regain its strength.
Trump is what we need to bring attention to just what we have in President Obama. The media and political insiders have been relentless in attacking Trump. The Correspondent dinner SNL speaker was crude in his comments about Trump but thankfully gave a break to Sarah Pallin. It is not possible to be a candidate with the media in the other camp and I imagine Trump is quickly figuring it out. He is good for the discussion that is needed.
Trump. You've got to be kidding me. And this isn't about party politics. It's about stupidity. I thought it couldn't get worse than Palin. I was mistaken. Name an intelligent, qualified, GOP candidate, please. Here's a tip. Avoid reality tv stars and wannabees.
Trump couldn't respond? He's been running his mouth plenty. Time for him to sack up and take it for a change.
Here is the video. Vindy, you're welcome.
Obama gets pretty brave when he is surrounded by a room full of supporters. I found his "ambush" behavior to be classless and so "unpresidential". He did the same thing with Cong. Paul Ryan; it just shows what a coward he really is.
The President was great at the dinner. He put Trump in the corner with a dunce cap where is belongs. I'm a rabid progressive to be sure, but I've listened to two different conservative talk shows in the last few days where they've pu,mmeled Trump as a baffoon who does not speak for them either.
One guy was outraged at Trump's suggestion that he, as President, would tell OPEC at what price he'd buy oil and he'd set the price of gas at the pump. Do conservative REALLY want the President, be it Obama, Trump or any future President, to so control the economy and pricing that the price is set in big government Washington DC? Think about it.
BuckeyeMom......Here is a video of Obama answering questions from republicans at their conference for the House of Representatives. At this venue he had no supporters, only republicans.
You call Obama a coward? When did you ever see a republican directly answer a question from someone they disagree with?
The sound is bad the first two minutes then it fixes itself. Enjoy,
And Obuma's claim to fame is voting 130 times "Present" as a Senator. Great leadership huh? Sarah Palin has more leadership ability in one fingernail than Obuma has in his entire body not mention his Cabinet full of excriminals.
paul.....I guess you don't know what everyone else does. When Illinois Senators vote on a bill they vote "present" when they feel the bill still needs work. All of Illinois Senators do this.
You're welcome.
Mr. Trump for President? I don't think so. I believe he is talking just to try and shake things up. So far that is exactly what he is doing. People are taking notice.
When you are not President,you can say any stupid thing you want.
Donald Trump is a very shrewd businessman. He has made a ton of money being that way and is a very rich person. He is no dummy. I, however, do not see him as Presidential material, so I will keep looking. My mind may change in the future, but I encourage others to do likewise. Afterall, shopping around for the best deal is the American way!
Four more years ? NAW !
How any fool can believe in Trump is beyond imagination

3 Things I Learned from a Rock Concert
My favorite band used to be a group called Underoath. I say "used to be" because they are no longer a band. I still love their music and cherish the handful of times I was able to see them play live over the years. Even though Underoath no longer exists, I was excited to see that the frontman for the group started his own new band named Sleepwave. When you've found a person you musically connect with you want to follow them on all of their projects. This new group is a perfect example of this. While Sleepwave's album is a bit more mellow than an Underoath album it shares much of the same feel and obviously Spencer's (the lead singer in both) sound.
Last night I had the chance to see Sleepwave in concert. This was also the day their new album officially released. I preordered the album weeks ago and was eagerly awaiting the show. To begin with, it was at a venue in Phoenix that I've never been to. This meant I didn't really have an idea of what to expect in the size of the event. When my friend Steve and I got there we instantly realized this would be a very small show. Sleepwave was headlining and there was a handful of local bands before them. One in particular was exceptionally awful. By the time Sleepwave got on stage there were about thirty people in front of them (literally… I counted).

There is something deeply satisfying with coming up with a new modular scale. Left scale is 1:1.125 (major 2nd), font sizes for hierarchy based on the fibonacci sequence. Right scale is 1:1.067 (minor 2nd), font size choices based on increasing distance between choices by n+1. Scales intended for 46em screen width and 60em screen widths respectively (decided to go with the good ol' golden scale for mobile).

Color Radio: The Found Photos Of DJ Tommy Edwards
From 1955 to 1960, a Cleveland DJ named Tommy Edwards had the bright idea to snap photos of folks who came through his studio. Credited by some as being the first to recognize and promote Elvis, for example, Edwards had a sixth sense for what would one day be important. Maybe he knew that those photos would become among the most comprehensive color records of the early rock 'n' roll culture. Or maybe not.

Either way, Edwards fastidiously captured candid moments on Ektachrome slide film. His collection included a young Elvis Presley, a pre-shades Roy Orbison, and Johnny Cash at 25 — as well as pop stars and Hollywood hopefuls. After Edwards' death in 1981, the photos all but disappeared from memory — until recently.
"It was like in the movies, when the treasure hunter's shovel suddenly hits something hard," says Christopher Kennedy, recalling the moment when he first saw Edwards' photos. A musician himself and music-history buff, Kennedy reached out to Edwards' nephew, who discovered the entire stash of photos in his basement.
"It was an amazing experience for me, when I traveled from New York to Wisconsin to see the collection for the first time — hundreds of ... slides projected onto Tommy Edwards' nephew's basement wall," Kennedy recalls.
He almost immediately got to work on a book. It's a small but tidy slice of Americana — an endearing portrait of our rock 'n' roll legends in their youth. "It was cool and thrilling to be able to breathe life back into a lost piece of history," Kennedy says.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland will be curating a Tommy Edwards photo exhibit from January to May of next year.

I've lived in Colorado now since April of 2007. When the wife and I first moved here I only had six very short months to learn the draw system, determine a place to hunt, complete my Colorado hunter education certification, and set up time off from work. It was my work that brought us here to Colorado in the first place. I was an operations manager and had outstanding experience and expertise in fixing broken management and their operations. In three months I had things already straightened out within Colorado and headed in the right direction. I was doing so well the company offered me a vice president position. I had to take it but that also meant I was in charge of an area from Alabama to New Mexico including all areas north from Memphis, Tennessee to all of Colorado. I was in charge of fixing all the management and the entire southwest division's operations. What did I do to my hunting availability?
I grew up in Ohio. Dad was an avid hunter. Right from a very young age he was taking me out rabbit and squirrel hunting but I was never invited to go with him deer hunting. When I was younger Dad would always travel to Pennsylvania to do his Deer hunting. He would go with a group of guys and stay for a week. I could not miss that much school so that is the reason I and my brothers never went. Dad's desire to go to Pennsylvania diminished as me and my brothers grew older and were able to spend the time with him. Dave, my oldest brother, joined a hunt club in southern Ohio. Dad joined with him. They had excellent hunting there and that is where Dad did his hunting for the next couple of years. My younger brother joined the same club a couple of years later. Me – I took a job promotion once done with college and moved to metro-Detroit, then later western Michigan. I then was promoted again and took the family to Honolulu, Hawaii. After several years I brought the family back to Michigan and finally back to Ohio. I literally missed out on hunting for 19 years due to work. It was good to be back at home. I was now in a high enough position that I could return to hunting with Dad and my brothers. Yes!
In that time I was gone Dad realized how good the deer hunting was in southeast Ohio. So good he had bought a 151 acre property. Mom and Dad sold the house in northeastern Ohio and built a house on what we call now "the farm". Now the farm is not a farm at all but actually 75% wooded with old oak trees and the other 25% are fields that Dad mows once or twice during the summer so that the deer can easily use them. The place is loaded with deer! My brothers and I helped Dad build and put up somewhere around 14 deer stands – all strategically placed.
So now that I was living back in Ohio and had the ability I hunted deer (bow and gun seasons) on the farm every year from 1999 until 2007. In that 9 year span I harvested 15 deer – several of them being very respectable bucks. I had returned to hunting and was really enjoying it… until the company decided that I was too valuable to not be fixing more broken management and operations… which brings me back to fall of 2007 in Colorado. Taking on the VP role, while the pay and position was outstanding, I was again allowing work to all but eliminate my plans for hunting.
In 2007 I was able to secure a Bull Elk tag for 1st rifle season. I hunted 1 day… 1 lousy 10 hour day. I also was not able to go back to Ohio for any hunting. 2008 came and went. I did absolutely no hunting – in Colorado or Ohio. Not a good year. I had made the decision after listening to my Dad and brothers tell some outstanding stories of their hunts that I was not going to allow work to dictate my hunting schedule anymore. Who was I kidding? 2009 almost came and went. I did no hunting in this great state of Colorado but I did manage to squeeze in 5 days after Thanksgiving at the farm. I harvested 2 nice deer that year. With that one little trip my hunting desire or maybe instinct was back and I was now looking to capitalize on it. In 2010 I was back investigating prime elk areas and won a draw for 1st rifle season in GMU 055 – Gunnison area. I was to say the least very excited. I didn't get my mule deer draw but at least I was going hunting for elk. I was a solo hunter that year. I hunted hard every day… but I only saw elk at a great distance away and a whole lot of mule deer real close. The mule deer must have known I could not shoot. After returning home without a filled tag I knew I could rely on the farm. I called Dad and then called the airlines and made arrangements for 6 days after that Thanksgiving to return to the farm. I harvested a nice 8 point buck. I was happy… but not complete.
After spending 27 years with the company… and losing a lot of hunting time I decided it was time to retire. So in late 2010 I retired from the company. I felt free. I now had all the time in the world for my hunting desires!
In early 2011 I introduced a person with similar outdoor interests to the great sport of hunting. I now also just created my hunting partner (that is another story already published on this great web-site). We did all the right and necessary things in setting up hunting in Colorado. And all of our efforts are reflected in the tags we drew and purchased – One Antlerless Mule Deer tag, One leftover 1st rifle Bull Elk tag, One Cow Elk tag good for rifle from September through January in GMU 079, and One leftover Antlerless Antelope tag. We have self-guided hunts planned for September, October, November, and December. January too if needed to fill that cow tag. I'm hoping to need to buy a second freezer!
At the time of writing this story I have already completed my Mule Deer hunt. It was a success for my hunting partner as well as for me. I harvested a very nice Mule Deer doe on the 3rd day of our hunt. One hunt completed successfully and three more to go! More stories to follow!
