Chill heated summer sibling rivalries
Monday, June 21, 2010
'Not fair!"
It's the call of siblings, whether screamed over a cookie, television program or a turn on the computer.
Battles between brothers and sisters can pull a dark cloud over otherwise happy family vacations and summer activities-especially when children are spending more time with each other. The more parents try to accommodate competing interests among siblings, the more frustrated everyone seems to get and the question becomes, can it really ever be fair?
"Parents should try to make things as fair as possible with regards to snacks, computer time and so on," says Todd Cartmell, psychologist, parent and author of several books, including Keep the Siblings, Lose the Rivalry.
"The best thing parents can do is to create an atmosphere in which close sibling relationships are most likely to occur," says Cartmell, who characterizes that atmosphere with one word: respect. "In a disrespectful environment, where there is teasing, name calling, put downs and hitting, there is no chance they will grow close. You wouldn't grow close to someone who treated you that way, and neither will your kids."
So how can you keep rivalries at bay and foster a respectful atmosphere between sibs?
When sisters and brothers go at it in your house this summer, try these techniques to keep things cool and as fair as possible.
Expect respect
"A family needs to make a list of disrespectful behaviors that push their relationships apart, like shouting, name calling and hitting. Then, make a list of respectful behaviors that they would like to see more of, like sharing, giving compliments and taking turns," says Cartmell.
"Identify situations where disrespectful behaviors most often happen (like taking turns on the computer) and have the children role-play that situation, using respectful words and behaviors. Through regular practice, your children's skills at handling situations in a respectful way will increase and improve their sibling relationships."
Teach flexibility
Flexibility is the key to squelching power struggles. Parents can teach their children to think flexible thoughts, such as "It's OK," "I don't always have to go first," "It's no big deal, we'll all get a turn," to help them handle disappointments. Once those become familiar, parents can encourage their children to act in flexible ways, letting other kids go ahead of them or have a turn with the favorite toy.
But Cartmell says parents also must modify their expectations when a child throws a tantrum over the injustice of a bigger cookie. "We expect our children to be able to handle this. The skill they need to learn here is to be flexible."
Make family time
Instead of trying to keep kids and their feuding apart by separating them, parents can help improve sibling relationship by instituting a regular family time together. Whether it's playing board games, going on a walk in the neighborhood or cooking a meal together, family activities that depend on cooperation and are centered on fun give siblings a chance to practice healthy communication skills in a supervised setting.
While parents may be able to manage the tension between siblings, encourage peace-making and patience, they can't make their children love one another, says Cartmell. "In fact, I don't think you can make them like each other."
Find one-on-one time
Whether we know it or not, we often treat the "kids" as one unit, whether they are a pack of two or six, aggravating the need some kids have to stick out from the crowd, be heard and paid attention to. All the effort to get to the front of the line puts even the most good-natured child on edge and can aggravate sibling competition.
A little undivided attention from mom or dad will give each child a chance to be heard without interruptions or objections, and summer vacation time is the perfect opportunity to enjoy each child.

< Return To Hearing
Mr. Gary ShapiroJune 21, 2006
Before the On behalf of the Home Recording Rights Coalition and the Consumer Electronics Association, I greatly appreciate the Committee's invitation to appear today. At CEA, we have more than 2,000 corporate members who contribute more than $120 billion to our economy and serve almost every household in the country. Any proposal that would impose a design mandate on new consumer technologies and devices needs to be considered carefully and at length, because the consequences may be far-reaching, unanticipated, and damaging. We worked closely with the music industry and this Committee to help draft and enact the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992 - only to find out, years later, that the music industry no longer agrees with us that a consumer's right to make a first generation copy includes the right to play it back. Nor do they any longer agree that the words "No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright ..." have the meaning we all thought they did in 1992. (They do seem still to appreciate the word "royalties.") We worked with this Committee and the motion picture industry on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") and have also been surprised at some of the later interpretations of this law that have been urged on the courts. We are very cautious, therefore, in discussing, today, potentially the most sweeping technological mandate ever put into the copyright law. Hard experience counsels that you establish some touchstones before even considering any such legislation. First, given the government's poor record in anticipating technological developments, the proponents must prove unequivocally that the drastic step of a technology mandate is necessary. The motion picture industry has not met this burden. At this time, there is little evidence that the "analog hole" is contributing to the mass redistribution of content over the Internet, and even less that it is contributing to such redistribution of HDTV content. Given our concerns over the potential chilling effect of such legislation on technology, devices, and consumers, we cannot at this time endorse a legislative approach of the nature of any put forward to date. In addition, we would have these concerns about any mandate proposal: Any "Analog Hole" Bill Is About Copy Protection of In-Home Recordings The aim of any "analog hole" mandate would be to impose on in-home products with analog interfaces the same "DRM" in-home copy protection rules that apply to digital in-home interfaces, in addition to preventing Internet redistribution. Since effective protection of an analog signal cannot be done by license, the only way to do this is by requiring that any device receiving the analog signal must be subject to a legal mandate governing (1) its potential conversion to digital, and (2) that the applied "coding" not be stripped off or changed, even in the absence of such "A / D" conversion. This can only be accomplished by a mandate potentially covering every component and every piece of software capable of digitizing or changing analog video signals, and on every digital device capable of storing such signals. Thus, the "analog hole" issue affects more than just free, over the air broadcasts. Every set-top box from a cable or satellite service has analog outputs for HDTV and / or standard definition video. For about the first five years that HDTV was available, the "component analog" interface was the only way of moving an HDTV program from a set-top box to a device that could display HDTV.1 Group ("CPTWG").3 Our experience left us with many open questions, none of which seems adequately addressed by any legislative proposal we have seen to date. While both of these technologies, and others, have been examined in Work Group sessions of the CPTWG, the problems inherent in applying them - including the unacceptable default outcome from VEIL and the difficulty in defining a scope of covered devices - are also very familiar. There is no consensus in the technical community that this combination is appropriate as a mandated solution. o This raises issues as to how many such technologies should be qualified; how such a great variety of converter components might operate with a great variety of decryption devices, and whether the operation of some non-TV products - either intentionally or by mischief - could be brought to a sudden and disastrous halt. The Implications Are Much Broader Than Those Of The Video Broadcast Flag We should emphasize that this is not the Broadcast Flag, in which there was no attempt to impose in-home copy protection constraints on any product with an A / D converter, and which did apply only to well-defined TV receiver circuitry that was already the subject of longstanding technical standards, and in which there was no attempt to impose design constraints at very specific component or software levels. (And even so, the Broadcast Flag remains controversial.) At an inter-industry technical work group in 2004, Dr. Randy Cole of CEA member Texas Instruments made a presentation about the difficulties of trying to define and impose a mandate on the sort of semiconductor and software devices that now comprise the market. Recently he updated his analysis for consideration by Committee staff. We herewith submit it and ask that it be included in the record. Is This Mandate Necessary? Any "Analog Hole" legislation would be primarily about private, noncommercial, in-home conduct of the sort that consumers have been accustomed to for decades, and would cover anything with an analog input that can process video signals. In addition to answering all the questions that we and others have about the prospect that such legislation could do more harm than good, proponents should also have to demonstrate that, in light of the potential for unintended consequences, it is truly necessary. CEA and HRRC have, in good faith, discussed the idea of "analog hole legislation" with motion picture industry representatives because (1) we recognized their desire for "rules" that would apply across all platforms, if possible, (2) they were willing to work with us on "encoding" rules to protect consumers' fair use abilities to record, store, and play back content for use in the home and among family groups, and (3) we want to avoid truly harsh impositions on consumers, such as "Selectable Output Control" or "downresolution" of analog outputs. * * * Finally, we must not ignore the overarching issue of technological progress and U.S. competitiveness. While other countries are busy developing their technology industries in order to compete more efficiently with the United States, on several fronts we face proposals from the content community to suppress technological development on arbitrary or insufficient bases. This is a trend that ought not to be encouraged. Again, thank you, Mr. Chairman, for the opportunity to appear before this Subcommittee to address these important issues. We have worked collegially with the content industries when they have been willing to do so. We appreciate being asked to be here today and look forward to working with you and your staff as you examine the important issues that have been raised for discussion today. |

UAB School of Health Professions Current News
Five SHP programs rank top 20 in best healthcare jobs
- Details
- Created on January 07, 2013
U.S. News & World Report came out with its 2013 list of "Best Healthcare Jobs" and several programs in the School of Health Professions made the top 20 list.
Thanks in part to an aging population, US. News said the medical professionals who plan and execute rehabilitative programs designed to improve patient mobility and lessen pain are in high demand. At number five, physical therapists are expected to see a 39 percent job growth or more than 77,000 more jobs by 2020, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The reported median annual wage for a PT was $78,000 in 2011.
As with PT's, the growth in the elderly population will keep the occupational therapy job market favorable. Ranked no. seven, occupational therapists help patients perform daily living and working tasks so they can lead independent, satisfying lives. Those activities include eating, cooking, dressing and operating a computer.
"Occupational therapists are trained to understand the complex or at times unclear demands on people of all ages that cause them to be dysfunctional," said Brian J. Dudgeon, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Occupational Therapy. "Such work needs creative and inventive practitioners who get satisfaction in finding and sharing solutions for those challenged in day to day life."
The BLS reports the median annual wage for OT was $73,000 in 2011.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that there are more than 15 million adults in the U.S. who are living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the name for conditions that limit air flow and cause breathing problems. Respiratory therapists, ranked no. 13, provide care for patients with lung and heart problems.
"Chronic lower respiratory diseases are listed as the third leading cause of death in the USA by the CDC, but new research and treatments are increasing the sophistication of care that respiratory therapists provide for these conditions," said Jonathan Waugh, Ph.D., RRT, interim director of the Respiratory Therapy program. "This long-term trend along with continued threats to air quality will ensure the growing need for advanced respiratory therapists will continue."
The expected growth in this occupation is more than 31,000 new positions by 2020. In 2011, the median salary for a RT was $55,000.
A radiologic technologist, ranked no. 15, can include an x-ray technician, computed tomography technologist, ultrasonographer, nuclear medicine technologist and a magnetic resonance. Technologists take body images, read and examine what those images reveal.
"As a melding of modern technology allows these imaging modalities to work together, individuals who have multiple certifications to work in the respective areas are proving to be valuable radiologic personnel who can help expedite diagnostic imaging and improve the information given to physicians to make an accurate diagnosis for patients in a more timely fashion than previously able," said Norman E. Bolus, MSPH, CNMT, director of the Nuclear Medicine Technology program.
The need for trained specialists who are capable of spotting areas of bodily injury using high-tech equipment is on the rise. The BLS predicts a growth of 28 percent or 60,000 new technologists in the next eight years.
It is impossible to practice modern medicine without clinical laboratory professionals, who come in a no. 17. They are the professionals who not only perform a full range of laboratory tests used to diagnose and manage disease, but they also ensure the quality of the results, evaluate new test methodologies, and study the effectiveness of those laboratory tests.
"With the proliferation of new laboratory tests, the expansion of molecular-based testing, and an increasingly complex laboratory test menu for physicians, this profession is critical in reducing unnecessary testing and providing cost effective and high quality decision support to all healthcare providers," said Janelle Chiasera, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences.
Nearly 24,000 more clinical laboratory professionals are expected to be added by the end of the decade. The best-paid in this profession make around $57,000.
The criteria for the rankings are based on the number of openings, the chance to advance and be professionally fulfilled and the ability to meet financial obligations. U.S. News starts with data on jobs with the greatest hiring demand as categorized by the BLS.

VERMILLION, S.D. — The University of Nebraska at Omaha lost its first road game this season as South Dakota won Sunday's Summit League contest 62-57.
Carolyn Blair-Mobley led the Mavericks (9-3, 1-1 Summit) with 17 points to go along with her eight rebounds. Casse Vaughn added 15 points off the bench and Jamie Nash scored 12 points. But UNO couldn't overcome a difficult shooting night, in which it shot 35.1 percent (20 of 57) from the floor and hit just eight field goals in the second half.
Meanwhile, South Dakota shot 46.4 percent, the best an opposing team has shot against the Mavs in coach Chance Lindley's tenure.
A 21-6 run by the Coyotes (6-8, 1-0) spanning both halves helped them take control. UNO led 20-18 with 7:01 remaining in the first half when South Dakota scored the next seven points. The Mavs cut their deficit to three points twice in the second half but couldn't get any closer.
UNO returns to Omaha to host its first Summit League contest. The Mavs will face Oakland at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

Friday Group Ride #13
Let's take a break from the race-oriented blather and talk about our bikes some more, shall we? Some of us watch the Euro races avidly, but probably all of us pedal circles or squares or rhombi with greater regularity, nes pas?
This week's ride focuses on that age old question: What material to ride?
Are you a "steel is real" rider? An aluminum stalwart? A titanium beast? A carbon-fiber, um, person? Or, maybe, just possibly, a bamboo bandit?
This isn't a theoretical question either. When we ask what your material of choice is, we don't mean, "What would you ride if you had a better job and double the free time?" We mean, "What do you ride every day?"
Speaking for myself, I ride steel. This is a function of some vague notion I have that steel was good enough for riders of my ilk (i.e. slow) twenty years ago, and it's good enough now. Further, it reflects my socio-economic situation. As the father of two and a mortgagee, I don't feel I have the liquid assets to devote to a more modern material, not that aluminum is very modern. Finally, steel is, I believe, still thought to be the most forgiving of the frame materials in current use, and I can use all the forgiveness I can get. Sure, I dream of a carbon rocket, but I ride steel. Every. Damn. Day.
And so, Group Ride #13 rolls out of the lot.

Anointing is Not Exclusive to a Genre
"The anointing is not exclusively synonymous with a specific style of worship." (1 Kings 19:11-13)
I've recently preach a simple message on this passage title "When God Whispers". And it is important to realize that there are different expressions of God's Anointing (though from the same Spirit). People naturally have preferences. Some people love nothing but systematic teaching, while others would much rather hear inspirational preaching. Some are blessed by soft, quiet music, while others are inspired by loud, energetic music.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is a 2005 novel by Jonathan Safran Foer. The book's narrator is a nine-year-old boy named Oskar Schell. In the story, Oskar discovers a key in a vase that belonged to his father that inspires him to search all around New York for information about the key.
The main protagonist of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is a nine-year-old boy named Oskar Schell. Oskar Schell's father Thomas Schell dies in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, before the narrative begins. While looking through his father's closet, Oskar finds a key in a small envelope inside a vase; on the outside of the envelope the word "Black" is written in the top left corner. Curious, Oskar sets off on a mission to contact every person in New York City with the last name Black, in alphabetical order, in order to find the lock to the key his father left behind. The novel also has a separate narrative that eventually converges with the main story through a series of letters written by Oskar's grandfather to Oskar's father and by Oskar's grandmother to Oskar himself, based on real life events.
One of the first people Oskar meets in his search for the key's origin is a forty-eight-year-old woman named Abby Black. Oskar makes friends instantly, but she has no information on the key. Oskar continues to search the city, meeting an old man he calls "the renter" – as he is the new tenant in Oskar's grandmother's apartment; "the renter" is actually Oskar's grandfather.[1] Eight months after he meets Abby he finds a message on the answering machine. He had not touched that phone since his father died since his father's last words had been on an identical answering machine which Oskar had kept hidden from his mother. It is revealed that Abby had called Oskar directly after his visit, saying "[she] wasn't completely honest with [Oskar], and [she] think[s] that [she] might be able to help".[2] Oskar returns to Abby's apartment, and Abby directs him to her ex-husband, William Black.
When Oskar talks to William Black, he learns that the vase used to belong to William's father. In his will, William's father left William a key to a safe-deposit box, but William had already sold the vase at the estate sale to Thomas Schell. Oskar tells William something that he "never told anyone" – the story of the last answering machine message Oskar received from his father, during the attack of 9/11- a repetition of the words "Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?"[3] Oskar then gives William Black the key. Disappointed that the key does not belong to him, Oskar goes home angry and sad, not interested in the contents of the box. After Oskar destroys everything that had to do with the search for the lost key, his mother reveals that she knew Oskar was contacting all the Blacks in New York City. After the first few visits she called every Black that he would meet and informed them that Oskar was going to visit and why. In response, the people Oskar met knew ahead of time why he was coming and usually treated him in a friendly manner.
Oskar Schell, a self-proclaimed inventor, is the nine-year-old protagonist of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. His thoughts have a tendency to trail off into far-flung ideas, such as ambulances that alert passerby to the severity of their passengers' conditions and plantlike skyscrapers, and he has several assorted hobbies and collections. He is very trusting of strangers and makes friends easily, though he does not have many friends his own age.
Oskar's grandfather, Thomas Schell Sr. (also referred to as "the renter") is an important character in the story, even though he does not physically meet Oskar until the book's end.[4] After the death of his first love, Anna, Oskar's grandfather loses his voice completely and consequently tattoos the words "yes" and "no" on his hands. He carries around a "daybook" where he writes phrases he cannot speak aloud. He marries Anna's younger sister, Oskar's grandmother.
Abby Black is William Black's ex-wife. She is forty-eight years old and lives by herself. She is friendly and welcoming to Oskar when he arrives at her house, though she does decline Oskar's offer of a kiss.
Thomas Schell, Oskar's father, dies before the events of the book begin. Oskar remembers him as caring, smelling of aftershave and always humming the song "I Am The Walrus" by The Beatles. Thomas Schell organizes several expeditions for Oskar, such as a game to find an object from every decade of the past century, and this is one of the reasons Oskar even begins his journey in the first place.
Oskar's mother, Linda Schell, referred to as "Mom" in the book, cares for her family very much. After Thomas's death, Oskar's mother tells Oskar "I won't fall in love again."[5] Though it is implied that she knows Oskar is running around the city meeting strangers, she nevertheless allows him to do so in order to discover more about his father.
Oskar's grandmother is a kind woman who is very protective of Oskar. She calls out to him often, and Oskar always responds with "I'm okay" out of habit. When she arrives in America, she reads as many magazines as she can to integrate herself as best she could, and enters into a tumultuous marriage with Oskar's grandfather. The couple breaks up before the events of the novel.
Anna is Oskar's grandfather's first love. Oskar's grandfather falls in love with her instantly. She dies in the Dresden firebombings of World War II after telling Oskar's grandfather of her pregnancy.
Jonathan Safran Foer's inspiration for his main character came when having difficulty with another project. In an interview, Foer stated, "I was working on another story and I just started to feel the drag of it. And so, as a side project, I got interested in the voice of this kid. I thought maybe it could be a story; maybe it would be nothing. I found myself spending more and more time on it and wanting to work on that".[6] On the challenges of writing a novel in a child's voice, Foer responded, "It's not the voice of a child exactly," adding that "in order to create this thing that feels most real, it's usually not by actually giving the most accurate presentation of it."[6]
Foer was sleeping off jet lag after returning to New York City from a trip to Spain, when he was woken by a phone call from a friend: "He said, 'You have to turn on the TV, a plane has crashed into the World Trade Center.' And then he said, 'I think it's going to be a very strange day,'" said Foer.[6] In another interview, Foer said, "I think it's a greater risk not to write about [9/11]. If you're in my position—a New Yorker who felt the event very deeply and a writer who wants to write about things he feels deeply about—I think it's risky to avoid what's right in front of you."
Major themes of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close include trauma, mourning, family, and the struggle between self-destruction and self-preservation. One literary journal provides an in-depth analysis of the specific types of trauma and recuperative measures that Oskar's grandmother and grandfather go through after the Dresden bombings and that Oskar goes through after the loss of his father. The journal states that Oskar has a simultaneous death wish and extreme need for self-preservation: This theme is echoed in Thomas Schell, Sr.'s pronounced survivor guilt and Oskar's grandmother's well-disguised inability to cope with her trauma.[7] It also states that though Oskar's journey to "find" his father does not help him get over his traumatic experience, it does allow him to grow closer to his mother.[7]
Critical response[edit]
Critical response towards Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close has been generally less positive than for Foer's first novel, Everything Is Illuminated; John Updike, writing for The New Yorker, found the second novel to be "thinner, overextended, and sentimentally watery," stating that "the book's hyperactive visual surface covers up a certain hollow monotony in its verbal drama."[8] In a New York Times review Michiko Kakutani said, "While it contains moments of shattering emotion and stunning virtuosity that attest to Mr. Foer's myriad gifts as a writer, the novel as a whole feels simultaneously contrived and improvisatory, schematic and haphazard."[9] Kakutani also stated the book was "cloying" and identified the unsympathetic main character as a major issue. Anis Shivani said similarly in a Huffington Post article entitled "The 15 Most Overrated Contemporary American Writers," claiming Foer "Rode the 9/11-novel gravy train with Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, giving us a nine-year-old with the brain of a twenty-eight-year-old Jonathan Safran Foer."[10]
Despite several unfavorable reviews, the novel was viewed positively by several critics. The Spectator stated that "Safran Foer is describing a suffering that spreads across continents and generations" and that the "book is a heartbreaker: tragic, funny, intensely moving".[11] "Foer's excellent second novel vibrates with the details of a current tragedy but successfully explores the universal questions that trauma brings on its floodtide," wrote Rebecca Miller of Library Journal. "It's hard to believe that such an inherently sad story could be so entertaining, but Foer's writing lightens the load."[12]

When pleasure is ubiquitous, what will we desire?
We all tend to look back at earlier times in our lives and think how "simple" it was. But was it really? Is it that it was a better/simpler time or merely choosing to have positive memories of past events?
Old age and treachery will over come youth and skill, every time.
Growing up I always feared that the Africanized Killer Bees from South America were going to one day make it to America and wipe us out. They made it to America and nothing. My flamethower was now worthless. Then the fire ant was on the march and we were going to all be overrun. They made it to America and nothing. My flamethrower was still useless. Then there was the threat of the bird flu and we were all going to be infected. Flamethrower was primed and ready to BBQ bird, silenced by more over hype. The Kardashians are breeding and looking to continue to spread across America. Where the hell is that flamethrower?
How is it that as a kid I never had one friend who was allergic to peanut butter, glutten or any other product with lactose, and now when my daughters have a sleep over I am given a list of foods their friends need to avoid or they will go into anaphylactic shock and need a giant needle plunged into their hearts.
Are you planning to find a cure and save the world or just planning to fall in love and ****? Plans are pointless.
yeah, we climbed trees, had snow ball fights, pea shooter and water balloon wars, rode bikes and skated with out helmets, there were winners and losers in little league sports, were gone all day during the summer with no cell phone, played lawn darts,. Damn, it is a wonder any of us survived.
I actively looked for good climbing trees as a kid, ( and as an adult I can still admire a great climbing tree) and I was a frikken monkey when it came to getting around in that tree. I have 5 nephews and 1 niece and I can honestly say that not one of them has ever climbed a tree or even thought of doing it. And do not get me started on participation trophies for youth sports.

Ive been thinking about snowfoaming my car as part of its wash, my question is do you guys think this is a good idea?
And also do i just need the following products to start? (I always have a Karcher power washer)
Is that it or do i need more?

I don't own a snow foam lance, cant see it being worth £50+ and have heard lots of people who see no difference in using it. I think its just a gimmick to make washing the car fun If it was cheaper i would have one ... but not at that price. My suction pipe on my washer does the job to pull through some bubbly shampoo as a pre wash
Posted 17 October 2010 - 02:36 PM
Would that basically to the same thing but it would take more time to cover the whole car? If so then that might be the best option for me

Before I lost the use of an outside tap - I was a big fan of snowfoam. It makes the wash process much simpler and further reduces the risk of damage to the paint that good wash technique introduces.
Posted 21 October 2010 - 06:11 PM
Ive never snowfoam'd before... so do you have any tips for a novice like me?
Do i just go straight ahead and snowfoam the car as a pre wash, or so i powerwash it like normal first and then snowfoam it?

Eliot Ness was born in Chicago, Illinois, on April 19, 1903. Ness joined the Bureau of Prohibition in 1927, assembling a team of Prohibition enforcement personnel known as "The Untouchables" to combat the activities of gangster Al Capone. Ness's career in law enforcement ended in 1944. Following a stint in business and a run for the Cleveland mayorship, Ness sank into debt. He died on May 7, 1957, in Coudersport, Pennsylvania.
Early Life
Organized crime fighter Eliot Ness was born on April 19, 1903, in Chicago, Illinois. Ness stands as the man most often recognized for destroying the multimillion-dollar breweries operated by Al Capone. Also responsible, in part, for Capone's arrest and conviction of tax evasion, Ness was instrumental in ceasing the power Capone had over the city of Chicago.
Ness was also responsible for turning around Cleveland, Ohio, in the mid-1930s, when the city was overcome with crime and corruption. Weeding out 200 crooked police officers and bringing fifteen other officials to trial for criminal behavior, Ness set many precedents. One such milestone was Ness's efforts to correct Cleveland's traffic problems, establishing a separate court in which all traffic cases were heard.
Eliot Ness attended the University of Chicago at 18 years of age majoring in commerce, law, and political science. He graduated in the top third of his class in 1925 and was hired as an investigator for the Retail Credit Company. He moved on to the Chicago branch of the U.S. Treasury Department in 1927 where he became an agent. Ness was transferred to the Justice Department in 1928 to work with the Prohibition Bureau, responsible for cleaning up the practice of bootlegging. During the 1920s, bootlegging grew into a multi-million dollar business for Chicago's gangsters.
Cleaning Up Cleveland
Working in Chicago's Justice Department, Ness received an assignment to serve with a special unit designed to bring down notorious mobster Alphonse Capone. The Italian gangster's reputation had even reached Washington, D.C., and President Herbert Hoover was furious upon hearing reports of the rich gangster breaking the law with his tax evasion and bootlegging practices. Heading the task force assigned to the Capone investigation, Ness and nine other agents successfully seized and halted operations of breweries run by Capone, one of Ness's most recognized achievements. Capone was eventually sentenced to 11 years in prison.
After the special force assigned to Capone was dissolved, Ness was chosen as the chief investigator of the Chicago Prohibition Bureau until the Prohibition era ended. From there, he moved to Cincinnati's Justice Department where he was responsible for locating and destroying moonshine operations in the hills and mountains of Ohio, Kentucky, and parts of Tennessee. After several months, Ness landed a new job in December of 1935 as the investigator in charge of the Treasury Department's Alcoholic Tax Unit in northern Ohio. At age 32, he was the youngest in Cleveland history to claim that title.

Definition of Cultural Revolution in English:
Cultural Revolution
Syllabification: Cul·tur·al Rev·o·lu·tion- A political upheaval in China 1966–76 intended to bring about a return to revolutionary Maoist beliefs. Largely carried forward by the Red Guard, it resulted in attacks on intellectuals, a large-scale purge in party posts, and the appearance of a personality cult around Mao Zedong. It led to considerable economic dislocation and was gradually brought to a halt by premier Zhou Enlai.

A study from the August issue of Anesthesiology provides evidence contrary to prior reports that fever in laboring women is associated with epidural analgesia.
In recent years, maternal temperature elevations during labor have been observed in the absence of an infection. Many have speculated about an association between maternal intrapartum fever (MIF) and several other non-infectious factors, including epidural analgesia, medications that affect body temperature, and internal and external heat production.
"Our primary research focused on studying maternal temperature individually and as a group," said lead study author Michael Frölich, M.D., M.S. "We wanted to determine whether MIF during labor is a real phenomenon and whether it is caused by non-infectious causes."
Methodology and Findings Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham investigated the potential causes of non-infectious MIF changes in 81 laboring women. All but three participants received epidural analgesia. The temperatures in the women prior to receiving epidural analgesia were compared with their temperatures after it was administered.
More than half of participants showed a small positive temperature increase. Findings showed a significant number of women with maternal temperature elevations either had a considerably longer delivery or a higher body mass index. Epidural analgesia showed no effect on MIF.
"Long labor sustains an inflammatory process that may result in a temperature elevation. Also, the same mechanism may be responsible for patients who are overweight, since the link between obesity and inflammation is well established," said Dr. Frölich.
The study authors believe future research to better identify the exact causes of non-infectious MIF will help identify and treat women who are more prone to fever during labor, including those who experience a longer delivery or have a greater body mass index.

Why should he be "worried" about his deal? He is in the best of all places. He can stay on his present deal and make $23.4M in 2014-2015, or he can opt out and sign a max deal with the Knicks or whichever team he chooses. We should all have such "worries."
Carmelo Anthony on injured shoulder: 'It's night and day'
Carmelo Anthony says he's healed from a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder that bothered him toward the tail end of the season.
The NBA's leading scorer originally tweaked his shoulder April 14 against Indiana, then reaggravated it in Games 5 and 6 of New York's postseason series against the Celtics, reporting that his left arm "popped in and out."
SI WIRE: MRI reveals New York's Anthony has partially torn labrum
The injury did not require surgery.
In 12 postseason games, Anthony averaged 28.8 points per game while shooting 40.6 percent from the field, a percentage slightly down from his season average (44.9). Anthony connected on only 17 of his 57 attempts from behind the three-point line. The Knicks went 6-6 in the postseason. Anthony said Saturday he hasn't given thought to if he'll opt out of his contract after the upcoming season in attempt for bigger money, but that he's determined to bring the Knicks their first title since 1972-73.

text: Quoted Text Legacy Learning Systems has several, at home, music curriculum series. Two years worth of lessons for under $200. We have the guitar and my son, although 15, is picking up on it incredibly fast. It is just like going to a lesson. You watch the video, then you practice the rest of the week, with all the materials needed for keeping track, etc. I HIGHLY recommend it. I am planning to start my seven year old and not sure it would work for a five year old, but most likely if you were there to help him. I figured it was worth a try, if they stick with it, I can look into further lessons, but if they did not, it was not a lot of money wasted. Compared to $20-50 an hour, time and gas saved, it is well worth it.

Calibre: iTunes for e-books?
Calibre is a cross-platform, open-source library for your e-books that can also sync them to your e-book reader.

Cover Flow here lacks a default image, and the sudden white rectangle where the book cover should be is jarring. It can be toggled with the big, white arrow icon in the bottom-right corner of the main window--an equally awkward placement. … Read more
