The amount of manpower to accomplish a large scale human reviewed/edited "general" directory is a huge task. To actually review a site, check to make sure it does not have mirrors that are already listed, and actually write a proper description showing "no" favoritism and properly done will take you 15 minutes a submission, 7-10 if you are really good and it's not a spammy category.... That adds up to a huge amount of time.
Besides, not knocking dmoz as it's the best at what it does, but general directories with a title, short description, and url are not that helpful to the masses ....
I think the next large directory will have to do more...a lot more, to attract the masses.
Yep, it sure is ;)

Above all, recognize that if you have had success, you have also had luck — and with luck comes obligation. You owe a debt, and not just to your Gods. You owe a debt to the unlucky.

There were a few beat writers that I think were rooting for my failure and would have tripped me going out the door. But among most of the baseball men there was the more open-minded practical view of "We'll wait and see if you can help." I felt they were giving me an opportunity to earn my position, and that's all I wanted.

Teens abuse, find comfort in anonymity on Formspring.me
Teenagers are flocking to Formspring.me, a social media tool that allows users to anonymously ask questions for others to publicly answer. Users get a unique URL that points their friends (or foes) to a simple form that reads, "Ask me anything." But, of course, the simplest things can sometimes be the most problematic.
A police department in Suffolk County, N.Y., investigating the suicide of Alexis Pilkington, 17, might consider Formspring.me as a factor in her death. According to the Associated Press, Alexis was receiving harassing messages before her death last March 21. Her family insists … Read more

The Roar Live Blog: Latest comments displayed at the top of the page | Click here to jump to leave a comment
Nathan of Perth said | 3:13pm | Report commentJust watched the last ten minutes or so on replay … I just don't understand how we didn't manage to score. I just don't.
Woodwork, balls almost landing right at our feet behind the line, Zahra, Risdon waiting too long …
:S arghh, my kingdom for Smeltzy back!
Bric Tamlin of the Pants Party said | 9:42am | Report commentWanderers deserved to win that,we should been 3-0 down by half time if Bridges and Hersi didn't butcher two golden opportunities.Glory were a little unlucky not to score in the second half though hit the bar twice and Covic was MOTM for good reason,playing against 10 men is always tricky you only have to look at the MV v CCM game .
JohnB said | 12:06am | Report commentI agree with Nathan, where the hell was Smeltzy? Topor-Stanley put in a good shift for them. Best I've seen him. How did Zahra miss from two meters away?
Jason Cave said | 7:52pm | Report commentIf you think the regular season is good, wait until the finals come around!
Titus said | 8:11pm | Report comment"I guess, when you recruit players, who can actually play the Game – as opposed to just recruiting players for marketing spin – you can build a competitive team that fans can embrace."
Possibly Fuss, but everyone should also thank Sydney for being the ones who actually bring a wider audience to the HAL. Pretty much all the increase in TV, media, crowds and general interest can be attributed to Sydney FC(and WSW replacing GCFC)…….so while you're all running around proclaiming yourselves the bestest fans and making fun of poor ol SFC, maybe just take a second to think about just what SFC has done for the entire HAL, at great expense to the club and seemingly it's fans.
Reynoldsinski said | 8:53pm | Report commentNo, he wouldn't have been having a go at the Giants. He has said that the other three codes aren't even on his radar, so he must be having a dig at Sydney FC for some reason. Plus, why would he even mention them on a football tab?
Nathan of Perth said | 9:01pm | Report commentOh, p##s on GWS and WSW and whoever else
This is a thread about debacles, not code wars!
Punter said | 9:47pm | Report commentHang in the Nathan, could be worse, you could be a SFC supporter, HELP!!!!!!!!
Bric Tamlin of the Pants Party said | 9:44am | Report commentDoes Reynoldsinski get involved in any other discussion other than code wars?,what sport does he even like he just seems to not like football!
Nathan of Perth said | 7:18pm | Report commentThat's too losses that we never should have allowed, both to Sydney teams.
Bloody hell, bogey city.
Wanderer said | 7:09pm | Report commentUgly but effective. Had to park the bus otherwise we'd get thwatted off the park. Ante Covic MOTM for me, hands down otherwise it'd be 13-1. Still can't get over Hersi's ridiculously bad control of a clear-cut chance.
Nathan of Perth said | 7:09pm | Report commentIf anyone wants to know what Burns adds to the team – organisation at set pieces is a big one!
A – How did we not score…
B – if Covic does not get MotM it is a crock
C – WhereTF was Smeltzy!? -
kelvin g said | 5:32pm | Report commentlooks like its happening…
already…W. Sydney is undefeated this season when playing away and taking the lead 1-0.
18′Aaron Mooy for W. Sydney has been booked by Kris Griffith Jones and receives a first yellow card.
16′Goal! W. Sydney have got their heads in front thanks to a Iacopo La Rocca strike.
Perth have won 6 home matches in a row.
Punter said | 5:29pm | Report comment1-0 wanderers. Mooy & Rogic most impressive Australian midfielders in the A-League.

When Will You Die?
Those of us living in Massachusetts enjoy, on average, a slightly longer lifespan than the national average.
It's curtains for me in 11,700 days.
That's Wednesday's result from the "Days of Life" app I installed on my iPhone. Put in your age, sex and country and you'll get a count-down clock and pie chart showing when, on average, you'll start your dirt nap.
You can store the app in your "Existential Terror" folder, jokes Mark O'Connell, who has athoughtful essay about the app over at the New Yorker.
The app is simple in that it uses average life expectancy data by country. If you'd like a more precise guess at when you'll meet the Reaper, click over to this calculator from the University of Pennsylvania. It takes into account lifestyle and personal medical history.
Geography within the U.S. also makes a difference. For instance, those of us living in Massachusetts have a slightly higher life span than the national average.
Then input your result in the app.

Grantee News
2012 Grantee Meeting: Grantee Highlights
March 1 - 2, 2012, Arlington, VA
Cleveland Clinic
Our COPE psycho education series focused on increasing awareness about mental health issues in epilepsy for parents/teens. Our sessions were very well received by participants. We had 12 classes in year 1. Some of the positive feedback was that they enjoyed the music therapy part to class and the much needed support group like setting we offered.
Our 2012 plan was strengthened by our ability to market these classes to a broader community in addition for a longer period of time.
Marketed to:
- 1068 patients ages 8-21 seen at the Cleveland Clinic with ICD 9 code for epilepsy in the last 3 years
- 45 individual MD's (neurologist, epileptologist, psychiatrist and psychologist OUTSIDE of the Cleveland Clinic)
- Cleveland Clinic Office of Diversity promoted it to all of their Hispanic contacts via list serves and newsletter
- 72 community agencies
- Hispanic newsletter at our inner city hospital
- Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) eblast
- Cleveland Clinic epilepsy website
- Epilepsy Association website and Winter Walk
- Flyers in epilepsy outpatient clinic and inpatient unit
- Univision Spanish TV channel did a 30 minute interview to promote our program; it included one of our epileptologist, one of our Spanish speaking families and Dr. Falcone.
Summer classes were most successful and we are implementing Saturday classes to increase participation.
Healthy Relationship Skills/Bullying Prevention
First year of the grant Cleveland Metropolitan School District had agreed to partner with us but after new administration and numerous meetings were held they did not move forward with the project.
The purpose of this project is to improve healthy relationships. We are targeting the students and the gatekeepers (adults in contact with the students at the schools). Students and patients with epilepsy will complete 3, 30 – 40 minute computer based interventions plus a 3 month follow-up survey that will focus on healthy relationship skills to prevent peer violence. Pro-Change, a Rhode Island based company, will target their Teen Choices program to include some modifications to address children with epilepsy and special health care needs. The program focuses on 5 healthy relationship skills:
1) Trying to understand and respect other peers feelings and needs
2) Using non-violent ways to deal with problems and disagreements
3) Respecting peers
4) Communicating each other needs and feelings respectfully
5) Making appropriate decisions in social interaction
We will also focus on recognizing and accepting differences. The goal is to keep the students safe, if they are already involved in unhealthy relationships (bullying victim or perpetrator)
1) Getting help or talking to someone
2) Safety planning
3) Making correct decisions about peer interaction
For the Gatekeeper training we will use the Kognito interactive program for middle and high school personnel and educators. At-Risk for High School Educators is a one-hour online, interactive gatekeeper training simulation designed to prepare high school teachers and staff to identify, approach, and refer students exhibiting signs of psychological distress including depression, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide. The At Risk module is a 60 minute computer base program using simulated conversations with an emotionally responsive avatar.
Fall of 2011 we contacted a suburban public school who is willing to offer the program to their students as an after school program. We are in the middle of implementing it at this time. Over the next few months we will contact 11 other suburban public high schools who have greater than 1500 students (6 are West side schools/5 are East side schools) and offer to make the computerized 3 session 30-40 minute each education series part of their curriculum.
Pediatric Triage Mental Health Clinic has coverage from both Dr. Falcone and Dr. Austerman every Friday to promote the idea of medical homes to include mental health services and psycho- education to residents, fellows and pediatricians.
Launched our patient mental health screening (Knowledge project© database in pediatric epilepsy clinic- 2200 patients in the first year of the grant completed the screening. Currently we are writing two manuscripts on "Quality of Life and Epilepsy", "The impact of ADHD in youth with epilepsy" from this data. We are also planning to expand our mental health screening to all the inpatients at the Pediatric Epilepsy Monitoring Unit; we will be screening using the following questionnaires;
Demographic Questionnaire
Some basic questions about the severity of epilepsy and impairment secondary to epilepsy
Impact of Childhood Neurologic Disability Scale
Liverpool seizure severity Scale
PHQ-2 if you answer yes to these 2 questions it opens the other 2 depression screening
Columbia Suicidality Severity Rating Scale

We have recently completed the pilot test of the care coordination training curriculum which focuses on children and youth with epilepsy. The training curriculum is being revised and will be available in early March. The trainings will be targeting staff from FQHCs in five states: Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina and Texas.
Our pilot training proved that among care coordinators who saw children in medically underserved areas, many felt they did not know enough about epilepsy. Because of the high rate of co-morbidities among children and youth with epilepsy and delayed treatment time by specialists in medically underserved areas, this information has positive care outcomes.
In the spring and summer of 2012 we will be conducting trainings in several states beginning with Texas. Our intent is to coordinate our training with other statewide events and reach physician and other staff who may not fully understand epilepsy. We are also exploring ways to reach a broader audience through web trainings or in self taught modules.
Local affiliates in these five states have been provided $10,000 to implement programs which reach medically underserved groups using these principles of care coordination.
Epilepsy Foundation of Western/Central Pennsylvania
Project Summary – Partnerships and Collaborative Activities
The EFWCP "Innovative Strategies and Replicating Promising Practices Program" Health Resources and Services Administration grant project consists of a number of goals where partnering and collaboration with diverse community/medical stakeholders are essential elements. The goals and groups include:
· Develop and implement primary care education in response to provider identified needs in the areas of epilepsy diagnosis, treatment and related issues.
o EFWCP worked with the PA Medical Home Initiative to conduct an assessment of the epilepsy related educational needs of primary care pediatrics. The areas of concern identified through this assessment were then addressed at a statewide EPIC Medical Home Conference on Epilepsy, held November 4, 2011 in Harrisburg, PA. Over 150 people attended this all day conference. Audience members included primary care pediatricians and nurses from across the state, practice managers, community nurses, families and professionals who help to coordinate care for children with special needs.
o EFWCP is now working with partners from the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC to plan and launch a series of on-line, lunch time webinars and learning opportunities that will address additional educational needs identified by pediatricians. Use of over the counter medications and anti-seizure drugs, updates on the use of surgery and vagal nerve stimulation in the control of epilepsy and school health issues related to seizures are among the topics that will be address through on-going webinars.
· Increase community knowledge of the full spectrum of epilepsy intervention and the social and medical issues associated with seizure disorders
o EFWCP has established an agency wide goal of increased outreach and service to the African-American community in the Greater Pittsburgh area. In order to achieve this goal, the following organizations and groups will be contacted and partnerships established:
§ Center for Minority Health, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, PA Department of Health, State Improvement Plan community partnerships (Northside, Mon Valley), Bynums Marketing and Communications, Inc., Department of Behavioral and Community Health Sciences, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, area churches and other faith-based organizations
· Integrate a systems approach to primary care based mental health screening and treatment referral.
o Collaborate with local primary care practices (Pediatric Alliance, P.C.) and a local mental health provider (Wesley Spectrum Services) to pilot practice based mental health screening and treatment for children/youth with epilepsy
· Partner with a neurologist from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh to pilot the assessment and analysis of the cognitive effects of seizures and antiepileptic medications
· Establish proactive collaborative guidelines between primary care providers, specialists in neurology/epilepsy, families, youth and the EFWCP to improve communication among providers and to identify roles and responsibilities for co-management of care.
o The co-management goal is at the heart of our grant activities. EFWCP is partnering with the department of neurology at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh (20 neurologists and epileptologists and hospital staff), the Pediatric Alliance, P.C. (two of ten medical home primary care practices in the Greater Pittsburgh area), parents, young adults, and a local mental health provider in a learning collaborative approach to design, utilize, analyze and finalize communication and information sharing protocol between primary care and specialty care providers (Plan, Do, Act, Study). Working relationships with other community agencies/organizations have been previously established, are available and are willing to partner in this process as needed (Achieva – local former Association for Retarded Citizens, United Cerebral Palsy Association, PEAL Center (Parent Education and Advocacy Leadership Center – state Parent Training and Information center), Wesley Spectrum Services and Allegheny Children's Initiative (children's and school mental health services), ABOARD – Advisory Board on Autism and Related Disorders, and the state Office of Vocational Rehabilitation).
Epilepsy Foundation of Florida
Program Highlights
Medical Home Survey
Our goal is to show that "medical homeness" improves from both the physicians' and the families' perspectives when children and youth with epilepsy have Transition Plans, Seizure Action Plans and Care Plans.
Each of Florida's regional team leaders recruited a minimum of one PCP and one pediatric neurologist who have agreed to participate in this initiative. The practices have identified 10-15 patients with epilepsy that they mutually treat. The medical practices are asked to complete the Medical Home Survey at the beginning of the project and each of the participating families is asked to complete the Medical Home Family Survey. Between the 3rd and 15th months of the study, monthly one-hour conference calls will be conducted with a focus of discussion on how the Seizure Action Plans and Care Plans have impacted their medical management.
We hope to increase the scores on the Medical Home Practice Survey and the Medical Home Family Survey in 7 primary care practices by 25% by implementing a Seizure Action Plan and Care Plan for a subset of children and youth with epilepsy.
We hope to increase the scores on the Transition Section of the Medical Home Practice Survey and the Medical Home Family Survey in at least two practices by 25% by implementing a Transition Protocol based on the American Academy of Pediatrics' article in the July 2011 issue of Pediatrics.

Kansas Telehealth Services for Pediatric Epilepsy
Project Summary & Update
This project is a collaboration among health technology leaders at the University of Kansas Center for Telemedicine and Telehealth, community liaisons at Kansas' Area Health Education Centers, public health specialists at Wichita State University, national and local pediatric neurology leaders, and consumer partners through Families Together. The objectives include: 1) to use technology to increase training opportunities across health professionals and paraprofessionals supporting children with epilepsy in rural communities; 2) to utilize an existing telehealth infrastructure to develop education and training for school personnel related to the educational, psychological, social, and emotional needs of students with epilepsy; and 3) to expand access to family-centered pediatric epilepsy evaluation, treatment, transition, and adjunct services over telemedicine through a robust state telehealth network.
The project has successfully implemented clinical services over telemedicine for pediatric epilepsy, drawing on diverse specialists (e.g., pediatric neurologist, epileptologist, mental health specialists, pediatric educator) to serve patients and families at a range of rural clinic and school-based settings. New and follow-up patients are seen through the half-day per month clinic. Additionally, the project is piloting mobile devices at a rural primary care clinic to deliver secure telemedicine services and to promote coordinated care.
The project continues to expand distance education services with ongoing webinars to health care professionals through the AHECs, including an upcoming series on transition/AYA topics. The project recently expanded technology supported seizure trainings for Kansas' EMS providers and hospital staff. Telehealth presentations to over 600 school professionals have been provided by the pediatric educator.
In Year 3, the project focuses on disseminating lessons learned with telehealth. The team is finalizing a practical website, www.teleneuro.org, to provide telehealth related tutorials and resources for health professionals, families, and community members. A poster about the development of this site will be shared at the upcoming American Telemedicine Association meeting.

Michigan currently has two pediatric epilepsy telemedicine clinics operating successfully with each site seeing 3-5 children and youth monthly thus far for both new and return clinic visits. The originating sites (patient sites) are rural primary care clinics. Each connects to a major children's hospital neurology department where an epileptologist connects with a primary care provider and the child/youth/family for a telemedicine clinic appointment via two-way videoconferencing. The primary care provider provides the medical home for the child and care coordination is carried out as an integral component of the medical home. The Family Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs in Michigan is providing the parent partners with training in advocacy and leadership. We anticipate opening 4 additional primary care sites in year 2 of the grant. We are building a statewide interoperable network for telemedicine to serve our children and youth with special health care needs beginning with children and youth with epilepsy.

Pot smoking tied to testicular cancer
Author: By Frederik Joelving Date: Monday, September 10th, 2012 | Return to Archive |
(Reuters Health) - A small government-backed study strengthens the link between recreational marijuana use and testicular cancer in young men, U.S. researchers said Monday.
They found people who said they had used the drug were twice as likely to have been diagnosed with the disease as were never-users. The link appeared to be specific to a type of tumor known as nonseminoma.
"This is the third study consistently demonstrating a greater than doubling of risk of this particularly undesirable subtype of testicular cancer among young men with marijuana use," said Victoria Cortessis of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, who led the work.
While the research isn't ironclad proof that marijuana harms men's nether regions, Cortessis said she believes young men should know about the link.
"I myself feel like we need to take this seriously now," Cortessis said, adding that the rates of testicular cancer have been rising inexplicably over the past century.
But even if the drug is in fact to blame for some of that increase, the danger isn't overwhelming. According to the American Cancer Society, a man's lifetime risk of getting testicular cancer is about one in 270. And because effective treatment is available, the risk of dying from the disease is just one in 5,000.
So far, little is known about what causes testicular cancer. Cortessis said undescended testicles - in which the testes remain in the abdomen beyond the age of a year - are a risk factor and that both pesticide and hormone exposure has been associated with the tumors.
Cortessis and her colleagues used data from 163 young men who had been diagnosed with testicular cancer and nearly 300 men in a comparison group without the disease. Both groups had been interviewed about their health and drug use between 1987 and 1994.
Among the cancer-ridden men, 81 percent had used marijuana at some point, whereas that was the case for 76 percent of the comparison group.
By contrast, cocaine use was linked to a smaller risk of the tumors. This is important, Cortessis said, because it signals that men who have been diagnosed with cancer aren't just more honest about their drug use, thereby creating a spurious link between marijuana and cancer.
She said it's possible that cocaine damages the cells in the testicles, including cancer cells. And, she stressed, "the take-home message is not that cocaine is helpful against testis cancer."
It's not entirely clear how marijuana would influence men's cancer risk, but Cortessis said developing testicles may somehow respond to the drug's main active ingredient.
Dr. Carl van Walraven from the University of Ottawa in Canada, who has studied testicular cancer, called the new study "interesting" but noted a number of limitations.
For instance, he told Reuters Health by email, it didn't find an increased risk among men with higher marijuana use and it was relatively small.
Cortessis, whose findings appear in the journal Cancer, highlighted the consistent results from all the studies so far.
"It is hard to imagine a scenario whereby it is due to chance and I can't think of a systematic bias that would cause this," she said. "I will feel very confident that this is cause and effect once we have worked out the biology."

Parkway Theatre
11053 S. Michigan Avenue,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Not to be confused with the Parkway Theatre on the North Side of Chicago, this theatre was located in the Roseland neighborhood on the east side of South Michigan Avenue between 110th and 111th Streets (note that the larger State Theatre – where I ushered as a kid was on the West side of Michigan Avenue near 110th).
A great old theatre, albeit not in the class of the nearby State, which had a large balcony, vaulted ceiling, retractable Wurlitzer organ under the stage and catacombed dressing rooms behind the stage from the vaudeville days.
I remember seeing "White Christmas" at the Parkway in 1954. I moved from Chicago and don't know the current status of the building, but I believe the Parkway shut down sometime in the 1960's, leaving the State, the Roseland and the Normal as Roseland/West Pullman's three main theatres.
Recent comments (view all 11 comments)
I grew up in Roseland 2 blocks from the State and Parkway theaters. I still remember the little window next to the Parkway where a handicapped vendor would sell popcorn and peanuts. There was also a soda shop right next door. Alas, they are all gone now, along with the Roseland and Normal theaters (Normal burnt down sometime in the 70's. The entire area has noe become a terrible ghetto.
The Roseland, Parkway and State were the theaters I frequented the most as a young boy in the 1940's. The thing I remember most about the Parkway, was a neighbor of mine worked there as an Usher..his name was Ronnie Stromberg…Ronnie would let all of his friends in for free, but because I was younger, he would not let mein free. However, Ronnie got caught and fired…I was secretly glad. After he left, I could use the old, I am going in to get my non-existant brother.
So sad that these theaters have left the scene and that the kids of this era will never know the thrill of going to Saturday matinees, 5 cent popcorn and drinks…
Doug Bruton Denison, Texas
In the book "CHICAGO- GROWTH OF A METROPOLIS" by Harold M. Mayer, there is a small photo of 111th- Michigan from 1934. The Parkway theatre is there; on the marquee: Gary Cooper in "OPERATOR 13". Also, in the background, you can see the vertical sign of the State theatre. It's on page 348. On page 347, there are pics of the Paradise and Marbro theatres (1929) and the Tivoli theatre (1924).
The 2009 CTA calendar features that image for August: View link
FYI. 1936 Parkway exterior photo in Sunday 02/22/09 Chicago Tribune Magazine. When I pulled the link though, the photo wasn't included with the caption.
I grew up on 108th and Eggleston and used to frequent the State Theater on Saturday afternoons for the shoot em up shows. After coming out in the sunshine on the way home facing the sun I would end up with the most ferce headaches. But the next week would go back again. I remember that in some candy bars there would be a coupon for a free one. Also ice cream cones would have a paper coupon in the bottom of the cone.
My next door buddy was an usher at the Roseland. (Frank Sink) I don't remember getting in free though.
I used to ride my bike down to Lake Calumet to fish. But never caught anything of value.
I remember "Pete's Dock"
I used to go to Gately's Peoples Store and watch the donut machine. The store moved to Tinley Park later on.
Some years back we took a bus ride into Chicago to see the Frank Loyd Wright homes. We finished up see the old Pullman works and "Bum Town". Finished going west on 111th street all the way to Vincenes. What a difference from what I remember.
We as teenagers would go to the "O" next to the Parkway and have a Coke and French Fries. The Mocombo was at the corner.This has been fun remembering some of the old times.
Bob Hendry
My older sister lived on 108th & Eggleston, she and her new husband moved there to be near our house. I used to walk to her house and visit. We lived on 106th near Wentworth. Their name was Boersma. My brother and other sister went to all the "shows" up the Ave. which was of course Michigan Ave. Dad took us to Lake Calumet beach to swim and picnic, I just couldn't wait when I heard we were going. Unfortunately we lost one of our friends that drowned in Calumet, they said it was a undertow which I still hear that it is there. Not sure. I would of loved that bus ride even though it wasn't the same as we remembered it. The People's store to me was " Christmas" Santa", and yes the donut machine and the tube that disappeared into LaLa Land. I loved to see the cartoons on the weekend, mom would take us to see the Disney Classic's during the week. It seems like we were always up the ave. somewhere. I also remember the streetcar that would take us downtown. What wonderful memories.
As I always say" Not Forgotten"
I am new to all the web sights on Roseland and everyday I find something new. I cannot tell everyone how much I enjoy reading and looking at all the old pictures. I never knew that there was a websight like this until one day I seen some old pictures in the Tribune and contacted John. He led me to all these wonderful memories. There is so much to read and I just seen the pictures that BWChicago sent of the 2009 CTA Calendar, WOW! I lived in Roseland most of my young life, but then moved away in Dec.1953. I was devasted. I was going to graduate from Kohn school that following June. I missed my friends I grew up with and of course all the sights and sounds of Roseland.
Keep in touch.
The Roseland State did not have a WurliTzer Theatre Pipe organ, but instead a M.P. Moller organ of 3 manuals and 12 ranks. Moller primarily built organs for churches but did build theatre instruments which were awesome in their own right. The nearby Parkway Theatre did have a smaller Wurlitzer of 2 manuals and six ranks which is still in existance in a private residence. The Moller organ still in the theatre and playable in the 1950s and sounded great in that theatre. It did not survive as a complete instrument and was broken up for parts when removed in the 60s

Active Standard ASTM D6398 | Developed by Subcommittee: D10.32
Book of Standards Volume: 15.10
Historical (view previous versions of standard)
Significance and Use
Medication errors occur when users are confused by the similar size, shape, color, typeface, and layout of labels that are used for a range of a manufacturer's drugs with widely dissimilar actions or potencies. The human visual system uses shape, size, color, and typeface in the initial recognition of a labeled drug. (See 9.1-9.3.) The use of this human visual system has been described in 21 CFR 429.12 for the labeling of insulin. Using the similar label design, color, and typeface throughout a product line makes identifying an individual drug more difficult.
The objective of this practice is to provide guidance for the design of drug labels which will enable users to easily distinguish between drugs of differing action or potency. See Note 1.
Note 1—For specific requirements for these labels and other features of labels for OTC human drugs, see 21 CFR 201.66.
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers the shape, size, color, layout, typeface, and barcoding on drug container labels intended for prescription product packaging such as might be used in hospitals, pharmacies, and nursing centers.
1.1.1 This practice does not apply to bulk product shipping containers; in-process transfer containers; or primary, secondary, or tertiary finished goods containers.
1.2 This practice does not apply to over-the-counter drug product labeling.
1.3 This practice does not apply to retail product labeling.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Nostromoby Joseph Conrad
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:NOSTROMO is the most anxiously meditated of the longer novels which belong to the period following upon the publication of the TYPHOON volume of short stories. I don't mean to say that I became then conscious of any impending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life. And perhaps there was never any change, except in that mysterious, extraneous thing which has nothing to do with the theories of art; a subtle change in the nature of the inspiration; a phenomenon for which I can not in any way be held responsible. What, however, did cause me some concern was that after finishing the last story of the TYPHOON volume it seemed somehow that there was nothing more in the world to write about. This so strangely negative but disturbing mood lasted some little time; and then, as with many of my longer stories, the first hint for NOSTROMO came to me in the shape of a vagrant anecdote completely destitute of valuable details. . . . — Joseph Conrad

The Campus Activities Board (CAB) is a student-driven organization that strives to provide a diverse and continuous roster of programming for the Salve Regina community. Events sponsored by CAB seek to fulfill the ideals of the University mission and provide opportunities for students to enhance and complement their campus experience.
More than 40 students hold membership in the Campus Activities Board. Each member works closely with one of five CAB committees, all with different objectives and goals. Committees include:
If you ever need a laugh, the comedy committee delivers. Beyond stand-up comics, the committee seeks to bring anything that draws a laugh, including game shows, improv, magicians, hypnotists and more.
Live music is always entertaining. Throughout the year, the concerts committee presents local bands and rising stars such as Casey Weston from the Voice. April's spring concert has featured nationally known artists ranging from Sammy Adams to Gym Class Heroes to Timeflies.
Every other Thursday, the special events committee presents Things for Thursday novelties like the sign shop, Spike's hot dogs and Del's Lemonade. Food, activities, crafts and more are all free during Things for Thursday events. The committee also organizes the Halloween Dance and Snoball Dance.
The spotlight committee presents educational and motivational speakers that shed light on some of today's hottest topics, including alcohol consumption, diversity, survivors and more. Speakers such as Boston Marathon bombing survivor Heather Abbott share experiences or discuss topics that they are passionate about.
The travel and outdoor committee presents weekend trips to spots throughout New England, including sporting events, zip lining, whitewater rafting, overnight and daylong ski trips, zoos, Broadway musicals and more. Tickets for these trips are sold in the Office of Student Activities.

Get the Syllabus – Biocultural Medical Anthropology
Posted by dlende on August 30, 2010
For those of you who are interested, here's the list of readings for my class on Biocultural Medical Anthropology. To make sure I had good articles, I drew on syllabi from other professors I really respect, and also dug into the latest literature. I'm excited about this course!
I did cut out all the grading and policy details. If you're really interested in that, drop me an email.
Anthropology 5937: Biocultural Medical Anthropology
Prof. Daniel Lende, Fall 2010, University of South Florida
This course provides a comprehensive grounding in biocultural medical anthropology, which emphasizes understanding how health and healing are shaped by both biological and cultural processes. This class will examine disease, illness, human biology, embodiment, public health, methods, and belief systems. From the biology of stress to the biopolitics of medicine, students will engage in substantive discussion and read central pieces of the scientific and anthropological literature. While the class is focused on biocultural dynamics, students will also cover the biological mechanisms of disease and applied biocultural practice.

Aereo CEO: We'll be in 25% of homes in a few years
July 22, 2013: 11:08 PM ETAccording to Chet Kanojia, the controversial TV startup could be expanding drastically.
FORTUNE -- Chet Kanojia's controversial startup Aereo has been described a number of ways: disruptive, innovative, and possibly illegal. But for Kanojia, CEO, what he and his New York City-based team are doing is perfectly legitimate.
"Consumers have already paid for this," Kanojia told Fortune onstage at this year's Brainstorm Tech conference. What Aereo's 2,000 users in New York, Boston, and Atlanta are paying $8-plus a month for is the technology to pick up, stream, and record network television programming over the Internet. What they're not paying for is the content itself. "People don't want channels anymore -- they want shows," argues Kanojia. And Aereo enables this new consumer behavior.
MORE: eBay CEO: We 'can't afford' to buy Airbnb
It's a model that appeals to Aereo's early users and backers that include IAC (IACI) CEO Barry Diller and SV Angel. But because the company relies on antennas and therefore doesn't have to pay the retransmission fees distributors must pay broadcasters like Fox and PBS, many of those same broadcasters argue the startup's actions amount to copyright infringement. So far, the Court of Appeals disagrees and as recently as last week, sided with Aereo.
For Kanojia, that means full-stream ahead. He wants to expand to 13-plus more cities in the coming weeks and a total of 22 within three months. Even longer-term, Kanojia predicted that one in four people could become subscribers within seven years. That's extremely ambitious for the nascent company, and even Kanojia admitted Aereo might not meet his short-term expansion plans. And with the law on his side -- at least so far -- Aereo remains confident. Said Kanojia: "Do consumers want the service? Absolutely."

iMore for iPhone was meticulously crafted to provide the absolute best reading and listening experience possible for our community. We specifically chose to focus on doing a few things really well at first, so that we had a solid foundation on which to add more and better things later. I think we accomplished that and the way I can tell is simple -- the iMore app is the only way I read iMore on my iPhone now (and a lot of you have told us the very same thing.)
If you haven't already, go ahead and download iMore for iPhone now. I'll wait. It's totally FREE and, if I do say so myself, totally awesome.
Once you're done, check out the video above for a quick guided tour from yours truly.
You'll see how to browse articles and categories, and how to re-order tabs so you get what you want, where you want, when you want it. You'll see the podcatcher, which gives you access to not only iPhone & iPad live but all the Mobile Nations shows, including Iterate and ZEN and TECH, Android Central and CrackBerry.com, and much more. And you'll see how to send us YOUR tips, so if you come across breaking news, you can instantly let us know all about it.
We want you to get the most out of your iMore experience and this app. And we want you to share your thoughts -- what you love, what you hate, and what you want to see in the upcoming version 2. (Yes, the universal iPad version!) Once you've had a chance to use iMore for iPad, leave a comment in our official iMore for iPad feature request thread and let us know what else you want to see!
Great review and great app Rene. But where did you get the red outline on your phone? It looks very nice!
Thank you for the video. This is a nice clean very well designed app IMHO. I took a screenshot of the starting image of the app and I am using it as my lock and home screen wall paper.
By the way, how did you mod your iPhone's antenna band? Very nice!
Great app! Beautiful graphics and very nice use of tabbed interface and sectioned table views (plus the awesome content on iMore, of course!)
ya a caching method would be nice.. i cant seem to edit the order of the tabs. all stories should come first i feel. so that it mirrors the site.
I agree. I'd prefer to see all of the articles instead of going thru tabs to finally get it all. When I bring up the All tab and close out of the app when i"m done, it does not reopen in the All tab. Kind of annoying.
That was my one complaint too - until I figured out how to fix it. Open the More tab at the bottom of the screen, and touch the "Edit" button in the top right corner. Nowe you can drag and drop the icons in the order you want. I have "All" first, so now when I open the app, it lists all stories. You can have any four icons showing, so pick your favorites in your favorite order, but the first one opens with the app.
Awesone app guys!
Nice app, Rene. It's especially useful to have a way to easily access the podcasts. Thanks for the work on this.
would like to see push notifications for when new shows are available, that's the main thing that would differentiate between the app and the website for me
Did you notice another iMore app from (where-else) China !?!http://itunes.apple.com/in/app/imore-nu-xing-chao-liu-wang/id483324547
Truly enlightening cheers, I'm sure your trusty followers could possibly want a good deal more articles like this continue the excellent work.
I got the iphone new, and my first impressions of the new iphone are largely positive. Apple has once again built a product that looks good and feels great in the hand, and the user interface is perfect. I LOVE IT! I use Wapzilla as my first browser and its perfect! Thank you for making such a great browser!
I've been exploring for a little for any high-quality articles or weblog posts in this kind of area . Exploring in Yahoo I finally stumbled upon this web site. Reading this info So i'm satisfied to show that I have a very just right uncanny feeling I found out exactly what I needed. I such a lot for sure will make sure to do not omit this site and provides it a look regularly.
