They give relatively little trouble during normal motoring, although they are highly stressed components.When a half shaft fails, the rear wheels cannot be driven.The main symptoms of a worn half shaft are a knock or clunk when accelerating or decelerating.

Yesterday I was a divorce attorney. Today I am a Matchmaker. Crazy, I know, but that's my life.
I went to law school and decided to pursue a career in divorce law basically because my mom suggested it and it seemed like a good idea at the time. I didn't put all that much thought into it. My mom said that maybe divorce law would be the most people-oriented, and I agreed.
I practiced divorce law for a while, and it was in fact very people-oriented, but in an unpleasant way: divorce lawyers do help people, but at a time when they are at the lowest point in their lives and depressed all the time, which in turn makes them depressed all the time. I soon discovered that most divorce attorneys burn out quickly.
To ward off potential burnout, I began throwing parties. I took over swanky clubs early in the evening, before their regular patrons showed up. I gave the management a small cut of the door. I charged $20, collected by one of my "bouncers" (my brother Sean or my brother Christopher), and I had several scantily clad "playmates" (younger sisters of my brothers' friends) stand by the door and collect business cards so I could invite the attendees to the next shindig. Each evening would end with me lying on my bed surrounded by hundreds of $20 bills and hundreds of business cards from all of my new friends.
I loved throwing the parties, I loved meeting the new people, and I found that I was really good at remembering little factoids about people and at introducing couples. Sometimes I couldn't help myself. I would see a guy on one side of the room and a girl on the other, and I would grab them by their hair and pull them toward each other, make the introduction, and walk away. Time and time again, I heard through the grapevine that these couples were dating, had gotten engaged, or had even gotten married. Soon, according to the Jewish faith, I earned a place in heaven, since more than three couples had ended up getting married through my introductions.
For years I continued to start up all sorts of singles businesses -- group-share vacation homes, coed back-to-summer-camp weekends, more and more singles parties, singles newsletters -- all the while subconsciously wanting to be a Matchmaker but refusing to step up to the plate and officially declare my Matchmakerhood. I remember with particular fondness my idea for a coed back-to-summer-camp weekend: I envisioned three hundred or so single people traveling to a sleep-away camp in upstate New York to relive their camping days. Originally, the fantasy was that I would sell so many tickets that I would have to put people on a waiting list, but the reality was that I dragged myself and my very patient boyfriend at the time up and down the beaches of Southampton, approaching strangers and trying to convince them to purchase tickets so I wouldn't have to cancel the weekend. Though a near disaster with no profit whatsoever, the weekend wound up being a lot of fun, and I walked away with a few thousand new friends whom I had met combing the beaches.
I also recall with fondness my newsletter, called "In the Loop," which I decided to mail out to all my new friends. In it, I pontificated about being single in New York, suggested great places to go as a single person, and wrote a Dear Samantha column in which I responded to people who wrote in with serious dating dilemmas (I made up more than a few for the purpose of the first column). I promised that the newsletter would come out monthly, but it never came out again, and in retrospect I'm not sure all that many people missed it.
In the beginning, some of my singles ventures were harebrained, to say the least, but through it all I built up a pretty kick-ass mailing list of the best and the brightest young singles in the New York tristate area. I probably could have handled being a divorce lawyer for a few more years, but what was the point? I always wanted to have my own business, to be something, someone a little different, even unique. And I definitely had a following in the singles world, so I decided to become, as far as I knew, the world's youngest Matchmaker.
Becoming a full-fledged Matchmaker didn't just happen to me overnight. It took me quite some time to get comfortable with the notion that people were going to be thinking of me as a yenta. In my mind's eye, a yenta was that ugly, loud woman in Fiddler on the Roof, complete with a hair growing out of her chin, or one of the real-life Matchmakers -- let's call them the Maries. There were a bunch of Maries, based in New York, who had cornered the Matchmaking market. The Maries were the kind of Matchmakers I didn't want to be. They just had a way about them that I didn't like: they seemed pushy and aggressive and seemed like they would never take no for an answer. I never really understood why anyone would put one of them in charge of their personal life, but I guess when there's only one game in town, beggars can't be choosers. The thought of being equated with a Fiddler Matchmaker or one of the real-life Maries was a little more than I could handle for a really long time.
Meanwhile, several of the Maries got wind of me. One called me trying to convince me to hire her to find me a husband. That was just plain comical because at the time I was 26, had dates up the wazoo, and the last thing I was looking for was a husband. Another Marie found me some time later and invited me to a singles party she was having, and she suggested that I come and pay $150 so I could check out her roster of eligibles. I told her I would think about it, and that seemed to satisfy her enough to let me off the phone. I immediately called my mom to laugh about the phone call, but my mom became serious and said I should go to the party and do some research.
I guess my mother knew I was destined for this business. Back when I was in law school, a friend of mine moved to Houston and signed up at a local synagogue for a dating service that charged $100 as an initiation fee and then $2 per introduction; she met a man who ultimately became her husband that way, and that got me thinking. I soon developed a preoccupation with starting a dating service. Of course I wanted to charge a little more than $2 a date, and I wanted to add another dimension and make the dates be only over drinks, but I liked the overall concept of it. So I came home one day and told my mom that I wasn't going to be a lawyer, I was going to be a businesswoman and I was going to open a dating service. My mother laughed and said that I was in law school and naturally I would be a lawyer. Of course that's what a Jewish parent would say! At any rate, a few months after my mother instructed me that I would be a lawyer, she saw an advertisement for a dating service that introduced people over drinks and over lunch. She cut out the article, handed it to me, and said with a smile that maybe I was on to something, but that something should be after law school was over. The article fueled my interest, but I was already in law school, so I figured I should listen to my mother this time and put aside my entrepreneurial aspirations temporarily.
Getting back to my many Maries story, when I called my mom and told her about Marie's invitation to her party, my mom said that since I had always had a preoccupation with dating services, I might as well swing by the event and see what was what. So I went to the party alone because I didn't think it was fair to ask one of my friends to fork over $150 for what might be a terrible party. And for me, it was a terrible party -- for starters, the youngest man there probably could have been my father, and the people were just not my speed. I learned a lot about this Marie, her clients, and her business. Later she apologized profusely for the age discrepancy and swore on a stack of Bibles that it wasn't always like this. Right, Marie.
Time went on and I kept matching people up at all my crazy singles events, but I hesitated about opening a real Matchmaking service because of my preoccupation with becoming a Marie. I actually spent time in therapy obsessing over this. My therapist finally convinced me that I didn't have to be a Marie at all. I guess that's why therapists get paid the big bucks; finally the lightbulb went on in my head and I realized that I would never be a Marie because that just wasn't me, and that I would succeed by offering New York singles an alternative.
Soon I set out to come up with a brand of Matchmaking that would be cool. I decided right then and there that if I started a service and the only people who called were unattractive and awkward and hadn't had a date in years, I would go out of business immediately and that would be that. I had no interest in becoming the Queen of the Undatables in New York. I determined that the only way I would stay in business and make my service work would be to find people who were socially adept and desirable and to convince them that they truly wanted and needed my help. Ultimately, I wanted a service that would not just be successful but even fashionable and hip.
First step, allow people to think that mine was not a dating service, even when it was one. I know it sounds crazy, but it worked. I decided that I would offer one-on-one dates, but I would also offer introductions over small group dinners. This way, people who weren't comfortable admitting that they joined a dating service could gloss over the truth by saying they joined an eating club or a dining club in which a small group of people would get together every so often to eat in a trendy restaurant. They could leave out the part about the real objective of the group being to sit with single people looking to meet a mate. Good idea, right? I thought so. And that's what I did. I came up with a corny name, Table for Two (or More), which basically meant that you could sit at a table for two (a date) or a table for more than two (a group dinner). Then I put together a very classy brochure that explained the idea, and I mailed it out to seven thousand of my closest friends. These seven thousand friends had been enjoying free introductions over the years simply by attending my events, so they knew that I knew a lot of people, and this was the key to starting and succeeding in the Matchmaking business. So I hooked up a business phone line and I sat and waited and waited and waited for the phone to ring.
The phone did ring every once in a while. Mostly the callers were telemarketers, along with a few lonely hearts and one Marie saying that she thought it strange that I would mail my brochure to her (I didn't, of course), but she would love to talk to me about my business. Sure, Marie. I've got some calls coming in right now. Let me ring you back. In other words, buzz off. I'm the competition now.
Eventually a few of the people seemed a little less undatable than the rest of the callers, so I started meeting with them. I figured at the very least it would be good practice for when the heavy hitters got around to calling -- after all, they were very busy people. The first girl I met with was Jennifer, 29, cute, and worked in advertising. Of course I didn't tell her that she was my first. But she was my first, and I asked whatever questions I thought I needed to ask her. When she told me that she was surprised that I didn't ask her certain things during our meeting, I immediately added them to my repertoire. I met with her for two hours, for free, and she never signed up. Oh well, her loss.
The next guinea pig was a girl with curly blond hair, petite, probably not over five feet tall. She was an opera singer who had an unusually high-pitched voice. She wasn't bad-looking, but I remember thinking that her voice would probably drive the guys crazy, because it was definitely going to drive me a little nutty. I wondered if it was worth it to take her money. But then she offered it, my first $1,000 check, and guess what? You got it -- her voice became a little less irritating. As I continued to putter along, a phone call here, a lonely heart there, I would alternate between thinking I was the world's biggest idiot for trying to start my own Matchmaking business and optimistically telling myself that the business would take off any day, I just had to be patient.
Then came my big break. About six months into my entrepreneurial venture, I met a reporter for a major magazine. She asked what I did and I told her. As a matter of fact, I talked her ear off about how fabulous my business was and how successful I had been, how my phone was ringing off the hook and how I had the hippest people in New York as clients -- although I was unable to name names. The fabulous business part was true. The cool client list was maybe a bit of an exaggeration; I kind of left out the part that the clients weren't all that cool yet. Well, guess what? She bought it. A few days later, she called me and said she wanted to write a story about me and my booming business, complete with a photograph and everything.
And she did just that. Not only did she write an article, but she wrote a glowing, positively enviable article. She made my business sound unbelievable, sought after by only the most desirable singles in New York, with waiting lists and unpublished business lines. Once the article came out, I realized that now I might just have the opportunity to be the stellar Matchmaker that I knew I could be. I could help a lot of people who needed my help, and they would want it once they knew I existed.
The day that the magazine hit the newsstands I was very nervous. It was do-or-die now. If the datable people called -- no, when they called -- I needed to be able to put my money where my mouth was or I would be out of business very quickly.
My anxiety was well founded because I was besieged with fifty-seven phone calls before noon! Every person who called wanted to meet with me in person. The writer of the article became my favorite person on the planet! The power of the press was truly remarkable! When I woke up that Tuesday morning, I had a whole bunch of clients, but not all of them were that set-uppable. By lunchtime, I had fifty-seven A-list "Desperados" who wanted to meet with me and pay $1,000 each for my expertise and services!
Up until that point, I had been meeting with everyone for free, but all of a sudden my time was becoming valuable. I panicked and called my "business adviser," a guy I had dated who went to Harvard Business School. I asked him what to do. Harvard boy told me that when I called back the next five people to schedule appointments, I needed to tell them that there was a $200 consultation fee to meet with me. And then I needed to see what happened: the less serious callers would balk and, for those who didn't, I would have myself a consultation fee.
I did just that for the rest of the afternoon, and guess what? No one batted an eyelash. So much for that plan. By the end of day one, ninety-six people had called and I was truly panicking. It would take me two months to meet with ninety-six people. So I called back Harvard boy and asked for some new advice. He said, tomorrow morning tell the first five people I called back that I had a $400 consultation fee and see what happened. He said that some people would think that number was way too steep -- I don't know, buddy, they were supposed to think that of the $200 fee; I am becoming quite desirable, you know -- and then I would have a manageable number of people to meet with for $400 each. So the next morning, I started asking $400 to meet with me, little old me. And just as Harvard boy predicted, some people said buzz off, and the more committed people said fine. And so the kookiness began....

The Diary of a Modern-Day Matchmaker
The Diary of a Modern-Day Matchmaker
When people learn what Samantha Daniels does for a living, they have to know more: How did she become a Match-maker? How many matches have led to marriage? How does it work? Who's her craziest client? And most of all, how can a Matchmaker be single?
Samantha Daniels is unlike any Matchmaker you've ever heard of. Young, ambitious, and, yes, single, she's the founder of Samantha's Table, an introduction service that caters to singles in New York and Los Angeles who are ready to invest seriously in the task of finding The One. After handpicking their matches, Daniels works with her clients as their cheerleader, part-time therapist, dating coach, voice of reason, and closest confidante as she helps them down the road to happily ever after.
Readers learn how Daniels started her Matchmaking business (How much do you charge for finding the love of someone's life? How do you screen out the Undatables?) and get to know the colorful cast of characters whom she fondly refers to as her "Desperados." There's Mr. Cheapskate, Miss Manhunt, and Looks Good from Afar Guy. There's the 39-year-old female corporate exec who wants a husband yesterday; there's the guy who will only date women worthy of Brad Pitt; there's the gazillionaire who offers a $60,000 bonus if Samantha can find him a supermodel wife; there's the very well endowed woman who's having trouble finding men attracted to her mind; and a host of others. Will Samantha be able to make them a match?
And more importantly, will this Matchmaker find herself a match? You would think that meeting hundreds of single men would make dating a snap, but not even a Matchmaker can avoid the pitfalls of single life. Readers are introduced to another lively cast of characters -- the men that Daniels herself dates. Readers meet the many Not for Me Guys and a few Maybe for Me Guys, to see that even a celebrated Matchmaker can be a Desperado herself.
Throughout the book, Daniels also offers real dating advice (such as the most common first-date mistakes and tried-and-true conversation topics) and secrets of the trade (why September is the best month for Matchmaking). Like a real-life episode of The Bachelor, Matchbook is a wild ride through the flirty, unpredictable world of urban dating, with a wise and witty guide at the helm. For those who love romance and anyone looking for love, Matchbook is a perfect match.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Richard Fitzpatrick | 05 Oct 2012 16:56 GMT | Sport, Football, Spain
Every generation has its football star.
In the 1950s, the indefatigable Alfredo di Stéfano led Real Madrid to five European Cups. During the sixties, Pelé saw off a host of pretenders, including Eusébio, Georgie Best and, towards the end of the decade, Johan Cruyff. Diego Maradona was peerless in his day while Zinedine Zidane vied, occasionally, with the sporadic genius of Ronaldo, the Brazilian.
Ronaldo's namesake, or Cristiano as he's known in Spain, and Lionel Messi are unique in that they jointly dominate their age, and, barring injury and ennui, look set to continue doing so for the next five years.
Ronaldo is 27 years old; his Argentine rival is only 25, although he has already won three Ballon d'Or awards and looks odds-on to win a fourth in January, once again nudging out Ronaldo who won in 2008.
"It is a sustained rivalry, a subplot in football's most historic feud between Barcelona and Real Madrid. It captures the imagination like Ali v Frazier or Borg v McEnroe, among other great face-offs in sport. "
It is a sustained rivalry, a subplot in football's most historic feud between Barcelona and Real Madrid. It captures the imagination like Ali v Frazier or Borg v McEnroe, among other great face-offs in sport.
They share similar upbringings, products of the assembly line system that churns out the modern-day footballer. Both were whisked hundreds of miles from their homelands on the cusp of their teenage years for life on the football academy's fields.
The survival of such a wrenching experience forged a steeliness that explains, in part, the focus and determination that continues to drive them unlike, say, the joie de vivre philosophy of Ronaldinho, whose mesmeric, preeminent days in the middle of the last decade were fleeting.
Ronaldo is one of the great narcissists of modern sport, seen as often in celebrity magazines as he is on the back pages. He once bragged that he does a thousand press-ups a day to maintain his rippled abs. Off the pitch, he owns a couple of clothes boutiques; on it, he likes to pop his collar, wear a pink strap for thigh strains and unveil experiments in hairstyle every other week.
People wonder at his self-love. "I think that being rich, handsome, being a great player, people are jealous of me," he said in a televised interview in September, trying to account for why opposition players like to hack him down in matches. It was as if he were listing some of the chemical elements from the periodic table.
This kind of arrogance might offend some; others are grateful for his spikiness, for having the personality to provoke while most of his peers in football, like Messi, for example, excel at saying nothing.
There is no dirt, it seems, about Messi.
His pals at Barcelona are adamant that he is an even better person than he is a footballer. His lone rebellious period at the club, when he sauntered off to a couple of parties with Ronaldinho during the Brazilian's last years at the club was nipped in the bud by Pep Guardiola. The Barça chief was manager of Barcelona's B team at the time.
"You've two options," he threatened.
"Either you keep on partying, and you'll be out of here in days or you start eating properly, quit the alcohol, go to bed early and come to practice on time. Only then might you become the best in the world."
The writer Brian Phillips reckons the majority of people prefer Messi to Ronaldo because of his small stature, that his feats on the pitch "bring us closer to the miraculous". What is, perhaps, the most arresting thing about Messi is not his size (for Diego Maradona is an inch-and-a-half shorter) but his speed.
Frank Rijkaard, who gave Messi his league debut for Barcelona in 2004 at 17 years of age, says that Messi has better acceleration than Maradona, who, of course, he played against many times.
In fact, Messi's running speed is 4.5 strides per second, which is faster than the 4.4 of Asafa Powell, who has broken the 10-second barrier in 100-metre races more times than anyone else.
When it comes to goal-scoring in top flight football only Ronaldo can match him. They have both averaged a goal a game for the last few seasons, although Messi creates more goals, and has a habit of scoring when it counts. He has led the Champions League scoring charts for the last four years.
And who would bet against him winning a fourth Ballon d'Or award in a row in January with Ronaldo trailing in second again?

Nipmuc River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nipmuc River is a river in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It flows 2.7 miles (4.3 km).[1] There are no dams along the river's length.
The river is formed in Burrillville by the confluence of Round Top Brook and the Chockalog River. It flows south to the village of Pascoag where it flows into the Clear River. A USGS stream gauge number 01111300 is located on the river.
There are no crossings over the Nipmuc River due to its short length.
The Nipmuc River has no named tributaries, though it has many unnamed streams that also feed it.

Town Square
Jobs addresses iPhone 4 issues in press conference
Original post made by Nick V, Mountain View Voice Staff Writer, on Jul 16, 2010
The notoriously tight-lipped company invited only a select number of reporters -- including writers from [Web Link Gizmodo] and [Web Link TechCrunch] -- to the event, and would say only that it planned to [Web Link talk about the iPhone 4].
Shortly after Jobs took the stage, he told the audience that his company seeks to deliver its customers the best experience possible, but acknowledged that they sometimes make mistakes.
"We're not perfect," Gizmodo's Joel Johnson wrote, transcribing Jobs' speech in a live blog on Gizmodo. "Phones aren't perfect. We know that, you know that. But we want to make all our users happy. If you don't know that, you don't know Apple."
Jobs' used a slideshow in his presentation defending what he referred to as "antennagate" -- the recent furor over the iPhone 4's reception problems. Shortly after Apple released the device users complained that when they held the phone a certain way, covering up a thin black strip on the phones lower-left hand edge, that reception would be lost and calls would be dropped.
Defending his product, Jobs said that competing phones also suffered from lapses in signal strength when portions of their exterior were covered by the user's hand.
Using photographs projected on the screen behind him, Jobs demonstrated how competing smart phones -- the Samsung Omnia and the HTC Droid Eris -- would also lose reception when held a certain way.
"It's a challenge for the whole industry," Jobs said, according to the TechCrunch live blog from the event. "Phones aren't perfect."
In testing, Jobs said, Apple did know that reception would suffer if the phone was held in a way that covered the thin strip on the lower left-hand edge. But, he said, according to Kumparak's live blog stream, "We didn't think it'd be a big problem."
Jobs said the iPhone 4 drops calls more frequently than the iPhone 3GS, but he said, according to Kumparak, that it is "less than one additional call per 100."
In an attempt to calm the storm of complaints, Apple will include a free phone case with every new purchase of an iPhone 4. The case covers the vulnerable spot on the exterior of the phone, which, when covered, results in a drop in signal strength. Jobs said that Apple will also reimburse anyone who has bought the official Apple "bumper" case for their iPhone 4 and will fully refund all iPhone 4 customers who return the device within 30 days.

WILKES-BARRE — In an effort to collect outstanding fees and court costs, the Luzerne County Probation Office will be enforcing an act signed by the governor that could tack on additional time a defendant's driver's license is suspended.
Michael Vecchio, director of the Luzerne County Department of Probation Services, said the office will be enforcing a court compliance project, beginning Monday for defendants participating in the county's Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program on driving under the influence charges.
Vecchio said his office is aware of several hundred people who are in default on fines, courts costs, fees and restitution.
According to the act, which became law on Jan. 8, they could face additional driver's license suspensions if those payments are not made by Aug. 1. "It's part of their sentence," Vecchio said. "It's ordered by the court."
When defendants become involved in the ARD program, they are required to pay any monetary amounts, complete a period of probation and any recommended programs. Once they successfully complete the program, their criminal record is expunged of those charges.
The court compliance project zeroes in on ARD participants who have charges involving DUI.
"The average amount of outstanding costs is about $1,000 per person," Vecchio said. "Some may go up to several thousand dollars, and that means a victim is involved and restitution needs to be paid."
Vecchio said the program affects ARD participants from 2004 to 2010, and that beginning Monday defendants have until Aug. 1 to pay any outstanding costs.
If the costs are not paid, Vecchio said, a defendant's driver's license will be suspended until those costs are paid. "And, the ARDs themselves would not be expunged unless the monies are paid in full," he said.
The court compliance program calls for accountability for defendants, said Vecchio, and the money collected is helpful to the probation department, state and county.
"Sometimes people stop paying when their probation ends, and that's not the case," Vecchio said. "Anyone in this group is fully aware of what they owe and that they didn't pay us."

PGA Tour's Driscoll to help Boston
James Driscoll hopes he makes lots of birdies the next two weeks, enough for him to help those hurting from the Boston Marathon bombings.
Driscoll, born and raised in Massachusetts, has pledged $1,000 for each birdie he makes at the RBC Heritage this week and the Zurich Classic of New Orleans next week. He got off to a solid start Thursday in the opening round at Harbour Town Golf Links with four birdies - worth $4,000 - in his round of 3-over 74.
''I'll be happy to write a big check for this,'' he said.
Driscoll grew up in Brookline, Mass., and now lives in downtown Boston, two blocks from where the explosions took place. He had thought about going home for Patriots' Day celebrations, but instead stayed in Florida to work on his game before coming here.
When he learned about the bombings, Driscoll was horrified and quickly thought of friends who might've been near the blasts, which killed three people and wounded more than 170. No one he knew was hurt, but Driscoll started to think about what he could do to help those people affected by the tragedy. So he came up with ''Birdies For Boston.''
''It was pretty traumatic a day or two after,'' Driscoll said. ''A lot of my friends are still shaken up by it. It really hits home when it's that close to where you live.''
The money raised is going to the Boston One Fund, an organization set up by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino.
Driscoll has appreciated the support shown by people everywhere for Boston and its citizens. He's got no doubt the city will recover. ''Boston people are strong and they're for sure going to bounce back,'' he said.
He hasn't asked fellow pros for donations, just to help get the message out about raising funds.
Driscoll turned pro in 2001, but has yet to win on the PGA Tour. He has earned more than $307,000 in 10 events this season.

Actress Riya Sen, who made her Bollywood debut in 2001 with 'Style', a sex comedy and later went on to wear revealing clothes in 'Jhankaar Beats', says that people will hardly find her wearing a mini-skirt.
'I am very fussy about my clothes and very moody as well. One will never catch me in a mini-skirt just like that,' Riya said after walking the ramp for designer Ranna Gill at a recently held Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) here.
The surprising fact was that she sashayed across the ramp wearing a 'mini-skirt' with a short jersey top teamed with a big necklace to jazz up the look.

Being a working mother is like real estate: it's all about location, location, location. ForbesWoman crunched the numbers and came up with its third annual list of the top 50 U.S. cities for working moms. But it's not just a healthy economy that's figured into the rankings, it's also factors that directly impact working moms — childcare expenses, quality of health care and education and average commute times.
This year's list was the first to look at these less obvious factors, and it had a direct impact on the rankings. New York and Washington, D.C., for instance, dropped down the rankings due to their long commute times and exorbitant childcare costs. It's interesting then, to consider what other factors could be added to the list, and how these would impact the rankings. What are other important statistics to consider when looking at an area's hospitality towards working moms? Let us know in the comments!
Check out the next page to see if your city tops the list.

Smoking Ban Takes Effect In Manchester's Public Housing
Non-smokers living in Manchester's public housing are getting a little more breathing room.
A smoking ban goes into effect today for the city's 1,400 public housing units.
Dick Dunfey, Executive Director of the Manchester Housing and Redevelopment Authority, says it will be a tough transition for some residents.
We totally recognize how difficult this is going to be for certain smokers, but we do believe it's over-ridden by the health benefits for those who live near and with them.
Residents have known the ban was coming for the past year, and were offered free smoking cessation classes. Those caught smoking indoors three times could face eviction.
There's no inherent right of a person in a public housing unit to smoke, and a smoking ban will occur in all public housing units, eventually. It's just a matter of time.
Manchester joins a growing l ist of cities that have banned smoking in public housing. Both Massachusetts and Hawaii are considering statewide bans in public housing.

This coming from a fan base that refers to their team and our state as Soukar Liner.
I usually say it with a "z" so it is Clemzon

Furthermore, although astigmatism is primarily corneal in nature, little is known about the corneal shape and the posterior ocular structures in astigmatic eyes. Consequently, the main purposes of this thesis were to determine: 1) the characteristics of astigmatism as a function of age in a Hong Kong Chinese clinical population; 2) the effects of age and myopic astigmatism on the corneal shape factors; and 3) the effect of myopic astigmatism on the retinal thickness and visual resolution. Methods: Experiment 1: To determine the prevalence of astigmatism, data were retrieved from all new clinical records during 2007 at the Optometry Clinic of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Only subjects who had visual acuity better than or equals to 6/9 in both eyes and completed subjective refraction were analyzed (age range = 3~84yrs; n = 2759). Experiments 2 & 3: The corneal shape factors as a whole (mean-P) and at semi-meridian region (semi-P) were measured by the Pentacam's Scheimpflug-based tomography. Exp. 2 focused on younger age groups which were known to show high prevalences of myopia and astigmatism in Exp.1: 10-15yrs (n=32), 20-25yrs (n=37) and 40-45yrs (n=31), in each age group the subjects were subdivided into myopic astigmatic (MA) and emmetropic (EM) groups; Exp. 3 aimed to characterize the corneal shape and ocular aberrations in myopes with (MA) and without astigmatism (simple myope, SM): 50-70yrs (n=29). Experiment 4: This experiment aimed to determine the relationship between ocular structure and visual resolution in myopic astigmats. The retinal thicknesses of 20 young adults (MA, n=10; EM, n=10), aged 18 to 35 years, were measured by the Spectralis HRA+OCT spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. The resolution acuities at the fovea and 15° eccentricity of the temporal and superior retina of these subjects were determined by a psychophysical experiment.; Results: Experiment 1: The prevalence of astigmatism (Cyl≥1.00D) was high in this Hong Kong Chinese clinical population. The manifest astigmatism was mainly corneal in nature, associated with myopia and hyperopia, bilaterally mirror symmetric in axis, and shifted from predominantly WTR to ATR with age. Experiment 2: Age and myopic astigmatism had significant effects on the corneal shape. Mean-P and semi-Ps were less prolate in the older age groups. MA had more prolate temporal semi-Ps than EM in all the three age groups. In addition, the symmetry of the corneal shape along the horizontal meridian was significantly affected by age and refractive errors. Experiment 3: Compared to simple myopes, subjects with against-the-rule myopic astigmatism had less prolate nasal semi-Ps. Astigmatism was associated with the variation of several Zernike coefficient indexes. Using data from all subjects, temporal and inferior semi-Ps were associated with the spherical and total higher order aberrations, respectively. Experiment 4: When compared to emmetropes, subjects with myopic astigmatism had significantly thinner parafoveal thickness at the inner temporal, outer temporal, outer nasal and outer inferior retinal quadrants, and lower resolution acuity at the temporal retina. Using data from all subjects, the horizontal resolution acuity was significantly correlated with the local retinal thickness at 15° eccentricity of the temporal retina. Conclusion: These results provide important characteristics of astigmatism in the Hong Kong Chinese population and suggest that factors including age, myopia, corneal shape and retinal structures need to be taken into account when studying the mechanism underlying astigmatism.

Preventing or slowing myopic progression has attracted the interest of many clinicians and researchers. Spherical design ortho-k has been shown to be effective for reducing myopia and for myopic control but they are not effective in reducing astigmatism. With higher corneal astigmatism (> 1.50 D), lens decentration is the most common problem which can lead to induced astigmatism and poor vision. Hence spherical design ortho-k lenses are only recommended for children with low astigmatism. However, many myopic children also have significant astigmatism and considering the high prevalence of astigmatism in myopic children, there is a need for a myopic control treatment for myopic children with astigmatism. Toric reverse geometry design lenses have therefore been developed and introduced to improve lens centration as well as for astigmatic correction. However, except for a few case reports or conference presentations, there was no published study on the use of toric design ortho-k for myopic control in children with moderate to high amount of astigmatism. There was therefore a need to investigate the effectiveness of a toric design ortho-k for myopic and astigmatic reduction as well as for myopic control in this group of children. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this PhD study were: 1. To determine the clinical performance of a toric design ortho-k lens and the safety of ortho-k lens wear in terms of corneal staining and corneal binding 2. To determine the effectiveness of the toric design ortho-k lenses for myopic and astigmatic reduction and control 3. To investigate long-term ortho-k lens wear on anterior and posterior corneal curvatures, and corneal thickness 4. To determine the treatment zone sizes and their correlations with the refractive changes in the ortho-k subjects 5. To investigate long-term ortho-k effects on corneal biomechanics in terms of corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF). METHODS: Eighty subjects (6 - 12 years old) (ortho-k: 43; control: 37), with myopia of -0.50 to -5.00 D and with-the-rule astigmatism of -1.25 to -3.50 D and unremarkable ocular and general conditions were enrolled. Data collection, including visual acuity, subjective and objective refraction, axial length, corneal topography, biomicroscopy examination, and corneal biomechanical properties were performed every six months during the 2-year study period. Axial length (AL) was monitored with the IOLMaster and the anterior and posterior corneal curvatures, central corneal thickness (CCT), CH, and CRF were performed with the Pentacam and Ocular Response Analyser (ORA), respectively.; Results from the right eye or the eye with higher astigmatism were reported. RESULTS: A total of 35 ortho-k and 23 control subjects successfully completed the study. The mean ± SD myopia was -2.53 ± 1.31 D at baseline. Myopia was significantly reduced to -1.33 ± 0.80 D (42% reduction) at the 1-overnight visit and to -0.41 ± 0.43 D (81% reduction) at the 1-month visit. The mean ± SD refractive (with-the-rule) astigmatism reduced from -1.86 ± 0.64 D at baseline to -0.88 ± 0.59 D (54% reduction) and -0.40 ± 0.39 D (79% reduction) at the 1-overnight and 1-month visits, respectively. Corneal toricity reduced from -2.28 ± 0.53 D at baseline to -2.01 ± 0.61 (13%) at the 1-overnight visit and -1.28 ± 0.52 D (44%) at the 1-month visit. Subjects in both ortho-k and control groups demonstrated axial elongation. At the end of study, the average axial elongation was 0.31 ± 0.27 mm in the ortho-k group and 0.64 ± 0.31 mm in the control group. Axial elongation was significantly slower in the ortho-k group than in the control group at every 6-month visit. The levels of reduction of myopia progression compared to the spectacle-wearing control group were 61%, 58%, 53%, and 52% (cumulative elongations) after 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of ortho-k lens wear. Axial elongation was significantly correlated with the initial age of the subjects and treatment assigned. ANCOVA analysis was conducted to test the effect of ortho-k treatment on axial length increase adjusted for age and the small difference in age did not bias the effect of the treatment. Moreover, axial length elongation was not affected by gender, initial myopia, initial refractive cylinder or initial corneal toricity. Significant changes in the anterior Sim Kflat and Sim Ksteep were observed in the ortho-k group, but only at the 1-month visit. No significant changes were observed in the subsequent visits with ortho-k lens wear. In the control group, no significant changes in anterior Sim Kflat and Sim Ksteep were observed during the study period. There were no significant changes in the posterior Sim Kflat and Sim Ksteep at all visits in both ortho-k and control groups. In the ortho-k group, significant CCT thinning of 7 ± 9 μm was observed at the 1-month visit (p = 0.004). No significant differences in CCT were observed in the subsequent visits. No significant differences in CCT were observed at any visit during the 2-year study period in the control group. No significant changes were observed in CH at any visit for both groups of subjects. In the ortho-k group, CRF significantly reduced from an average of 10.7 ± 1.4 mmHg at baseline to 10.0 ± 1.4 mmHg after 1-month of lens wear (p = 0.003). Again, no significant differences were found in the subsequent visits with continued ortho-k lens wear. In the control group, no significant change in CRF was found during the study. CONCLUSIONS: The toric design ortho-k lenses used were effective for myopic reduction and astigmatic reduction. The results also demonstrated the strong potential for the toric ortho-k lenses to control myopic progression by about 50%. Myopia reduction from ortho-k treatment involved flattening of the anterior corneal curvatures with no involvement of the posterior curvatures. Corneal biomechanical properties, in terms of CH and CRF, were not useful parameters to predict the ortho-k response. Description: xxiv, 231 p. : ill.

People with high degrees of myopia have a greater chance of developing irreversible visual impairment. Myopia becomes epidemic in East Asia with no exception in Hong Kong. The financial burden is increased for the health care system in these regions. The development of high myopia must be controlled in order to solve the problem. The aim of this project was to identify susceptibility genes for high myopia by case-control association studies in a Chinese population. Eleven genes with possible ocular functions and/or within the chromosomal locations of MYP loci were selected. Common representative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the candidate genes were genotyped for a discovery sample set and, if significant association was demonstrated, a replication sample set. Three genes VIPR2, ARHGEF12 and SEPT4 were identified as novel susceptibility genes for high myopia. Association signals were revealed for the ZNF275, but the association signals were in opposite directions. Seven other genes (EGR1, JUN, FOS, VIP, APOE, COX11 and DHX40) were unlikely to be important in the genetic susceptibility to high myopia because significant association was not demonstrated. A pilot genome-wide association study (GWAS) (100 cases and 100 controls) was conducted. Follow-up study was conducted using the above-mentioned two sample sets for 20 top-ranking SNPs that are predicted to have functional effects or are located within MYP loci. Significant association was established for a SNP (rs11079899) and its haplotypes located on chromosome 17, a region flanked by two genes COL1A1 and SUMO2P7. This is the first GWAS to report the involvement of chromosome 17 in high myopia. An in-depth study of the HGF gene, a reported myopia susceptibility gene, was also undertaken to systematically refine the causal region. Three main findings were discovered. First, the involvement of HGF in high myopia was replicated. Second, the causal region was refined. In addition, our results were also consistent with published data. In conclusion, the hypothesis-driven approach successfully identified three novel myopia susceptibility genes while the hypothesis-free approach established an associated region on chromosome 17. In-depth study of HGF enabled the causal region to be refined. Description: xxxiii, 412 leaves : ill.

The effects of age and glare on contrast sensitivity, useful field of view and driving performance were evaluated. Methods: In Experiment I, a cross-sectional study was carried out in Hong Kong for collecting the visual experience and studying the visual competence of current commercial drivers by conducting a personal interview and a vision assessment. In Experiments II to IV, three different groups of subjects were recruited from the Optometry Clinic, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and were divided equally into two age groups, the younger group (20-29 years) and the older group (50-59 years). All subjects had visual acuity of 6/6 or better, were free from ocular structure abnormalities and any history of ocular injury and surgery. In Experiment II, they were investigated for the effect of glare on central and peripheral contrast sensitivity. In Experiment III, they were investigated for the effect of glare on the useful field of view. Different glare eccentricities were tested on contrast sensitivity and useful field of view. In Experiment IV, the driving performance of the subjects in the presence of glare was studied using a self-built driving simulator. The effects of age and its interaction with glare were also investigated.; Results: In Experiment I, the awareness of regular eye checks among Hong Kong commercial drivers was found to be low. Tiredness, dry eye, glare intolerance, inadequate road lighting and crowded road signage were the most commonly encountered visual symptoms / difficulties reported by the commercial drivers at work. In Experiment II, peripheral contrast sensitivity was found to deteriorate in the presence of glare but the age was a factor only for central contrast sensitivity, with the older group showing worse contrast sensitivity (younger group: 1.44±0.18; older group: 1.27±0.24). In Experiment III, ageing did not affect the central processing speed in the useful field of view test. Both younger and older subjects had reduced ability to process the information in the divided attention subtest. There was also a selective deterioration of performance when the glare sources were closer to the peripheral task (Younger group: Control: 17.97±3.79 msec, Glare sources at 7.5°: 21.93±7.20 msec; Older group: Control: 31.00±19.99 msec, Glare sources at 7.5°: 59.50±43.97 msec). In the tests of selective attention where visual distracters were presented, the younger subjects demonstrated an improved useful field of view in the presence of glare at different eccentricities (Control: 81.90±32.41 msec; Glare sources at 2.5°: 54.97±40.61 msec; Glare sources at 5.0°: 50.00±35.05 msec; Glare sources at 7.5°: 50.07±17.79 msec), but this effect was not apparent in the older subjects except the glare sources at 2.5° (Control: 159.03±54.44 msec; Glare sources at 2.5°: 129.63±58.53 msec; Glare sources at 5.0°: 135.73±53.65 msec; Glare sources at 7.5°: 152.45±48.69 msec). Younger subjects had better performance than older subjects in both the divided attention and selective attention subtests of the useful field of view. In Experiment IV, different strategies (e.g. lower mean speed, lower mean speed before the road sign, decrease variation of lateral offset and longer completion time) in driving for compensating the glare condition were found in both older and younger drivers. Moreover, glare had significant influence on the reaction time of both older and younger drivers. Conclusion: Glare is a visual disturbance in driving causing a deterioration of contrast sensitivity and useful field of view, especially in middle-aged / elderly drivers. Compensatory strategies in driving are adopted by drivers to cope with this adverse condition while the critical effect of glare cannot be omitted from those younger drivers.

Toddler Makes a Toy of Himself
Filed under: In The News, Weird But True
If the frustration of repeated defeat can make a grown person swear at an inanimate object, you can imagine what it would do to a toddler. I am guessing that this 2½-year-old boy in Australia had reached his breaking point when he decided that if a prize wasn't coming down that chute, then he was going up the chute to get it himself. It was great plan and he managed to get inside the machine where presumably he grabbed the object of his desire.
Unfortunately, getting in was a lot easier than getting out and he quickly found himself stuck among the stuffies. As amused bystanders (and his embarrassed parents) looked on, firefighters rescued the boy by cutting off the machine's padlock and prying open the glass door.
You've got to give him credit for ingenuity and persistence. And in the end, it all paid off. After releasing him from his glass prison, a sympathetic fireman handed over one of the plush toys he so badly wanted.

yes they are quick, i have a two and a half year old myself! and yes she has gotten away from me, but not long enough to play a toy crane game several times and then proceed to climb into it (hello, that would have taken the child a good 2 minutes, too long to be left alone and unsupervised!)....oh and btw, i'm a single mom, that's right only one parent, and my child has never gotten out of my sight for that long, it's called vigilence and being responsible.
