Nothing says red, white and blue like where you spend your green. But before you set out on a patriotic shopping spree, beware: "Made in USA" labels don't tell the whole story.

Thanks for sharing, here in France, there's some made in France issue too with the "Made in".. Great exemple is about Apple/Google remanufacturing products back to America ! It's necessary for companies to bring back some factories in U.S! -

IN THIS ARTICLE
Urinary Incontinence Treatment with ExerciseAnti-incontinence exercises are designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles (the muscles that hold the bladder in place). These muscles are also called the levator ani muscles. They are named levator muscles because they hold (elevate) the pelvic organs in their proper place. When the levator muscles weaken, the pelvic organs move out of their normal place (prolapse), and stress incontinence results. Physical therapy is usually the first step to treat stress incontinence caused by weakened pelvic muscles. If aggressive physical therapy does not work, surgery may be necessary. There are special exercises to strengthen the pelvic muscles. Exercises can be done alone or with vaginal cones, biofeedback therapy, or electrical stimulation. In general, exercise is a safe and effective treatment that should be used first to treat urge and mixed incontinence. These exercises must be performed correctly to be effective; if the patient is using abdominal muscles or contracting the buttocks, these exercises are being performed improperly. If individuals have difficulty identifying the levator muscles, biofeedback therapy can help. For some people, electrical stimulation further enhances pelvic muscle rehabilitation therapy. Pelvic Floor Exercises The first step in pelvic muscle rehabilitation is to establish a better awareness of the levator muscle function. Pelvic floor exercises, sometimes called Kegel exercises, are a rehabilitation technique used to tighten and tone the pelvic floor muscles that have become weak over time. These exercises strengthen the sphincter muscle to prevent urine from leaking out due to stress incontinence. These exercises can also strengthen the pelvic floor muscles to prevent pelvic prolapse (improper movement of pelvic organs). Kegel exercises can also eliminate urge incontinence. Contracting the urinary sphincter muscle makes the bladder muscle relax. Pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation may be used to reprogram the urinary bladder to decrease the frequency of incontinence episodes.

Review of the 2009 Land Rover LR3
Though not as ideal for daily on-road use as some other luxury SUVs, the 2009 Land Rover LR3 offers go-anywhere versatility, loads of luxury and a pedigreed nameplate.
- Safety
Well-suited for both on-road cruising and off-road treks, comfortable and well-appointed interior.
Excessive weight stunts performance, complicated audio and climate controls, spotty build quality and reliability.
What's New for 2009

Full 2009 Land Rover LR3 Review
What's New for 2009
For 2009, Land Rover reduces the LR3 to a single trim level as features are juggled slightly. The previous HSE trim becomes an option package. Other changes include the fitment of 19-inch wheels as well as color-keyed fender flares, bumpers and lower tailgate trim as standard.
The midsize 2009 Land Rover LR3 bridges the gap between the brand's big-bucks Range Rover Sport and the entry-level LR2. Like those other models, the LR3 promises a balance between everyday usability and off-road capability. Being a modern luxury-brand SUV, the LR3 comes with plenty of standard features, three rows of seating arranged "stadium style," an abundance of headroom and a very useful cargo compartment. When the road turns to dirt, the LR3 is at the ready with a 300-horsepower V8, a sophisticated suspension and four-wheel drive.
But due primarily to some cheaper plastic trim, the cabin's overall quality doesn't match that of rivals such as the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GL450. Furthermore, we had a long-term LR3 a few years back that sadly held up the brand's reputation for spotty quality and reliability -- it was one of the most trouble-prone vehicles we've had in recent memory. Consumers who buy the LR3 shouldn't be surprised if they end up on a first-name basis with their Land Rover service writer.
You might also find that the Land Rover LR3 doesn't excel as a luxury family hauler as well as more on-road-oriented vehicles like the Acura MDX or Audi Q7. But if all-terrain adventures are a frequent family activity, and the thought of owning a pedigreed SUV appeals to you, it's hard to think of a better-suited vehicle for the task than the 2009 Land Rover LR3.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2009 Land Rover LR3 is a midsize SUV. It is offered in a single trim level. Standard features include 19-inch wheels, rear parking sensors, leather upholstery, eight-way power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a tilt (but not telescoping) steering wheel, a power tilt-and-slide front sunroof, a fixed rear sunroof and a nine-speaker stereo with an in-dash CD changer and auxiliary audio jack.
The available HSE package adds front and rear parking sensors, a Cold Climate group (front and rear heated seats, heated windshield-washer jets and a heated windshield), Bluetooth, a power-tilt steering wheel, satellite radio and a navigation system that has mapping capability for both on- and off-road.
Springing for the HSE LUX package adds Land Rover's adaptive bi-xenon headlights, higher-grade leather upholstery, a 14-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system, a center-console cooler box and driver memory settings.
Some of the package features, such as the Cold Climate group and Bluetooth, are available � la carte. Also optional are a rear-seat entertainment system, a third-row seat, and a Heavy Duty package (locking rear differential and a full-size spare tire).
Powertrains and Performance
The 2009 LR3 is powered by a 4.4-liter V8 that makes 300 hp and 315 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission sends power to a sophisticated four-wheel-drive system. Using a rotary knob, the driver can select one of five settings (general, snow/grass/gravel, mud and ruts, sand and rock crawl) that optimize everything for the conditions at hand, from throttle response to the differentials. The LR3 also features a fully independent suspension that utilizes electronically controlled air springs to automatically adapt to virtually any terrain or off-road challenge. This heavy SUV is expectedly thirsty. Fuel mileage ratings stand at 12 mpg city/17 mpg highway and 14 mpg combined. When properly equipped, the LR3 can tow up to 7,700 pounds.
Safety features on the 2009 Land Rover LR3 include antilock disc brakes, traction control, stability control (with rollover mitigation technology), hill descent control, front-seat side airbags and three-row head curtain airbags. Rear parking sensors are included on all LR3s, while front bumper sensors come with the HSE package.
Interior Design and Special Features
Land Rover has a style all its own, and it's on display inside the LR3. Although filled with luxury features, there's a general rugged ambience that's been passed down through decades of adventure-seeking Land Rovers. The center stack is awash with black buttons and knobs, resembling some sort of navigational control panel from a yacht. That's not necessarily a good thing, though, as simple operations can be a little confusing. Also, our testing experiences have shown that build quality isn't universally solid.
In terms of everyday usability, the LR3 shines, with fold-flat second- and (available) third-row seats and a vast cargo space with a maximum of 90 available cubic feet. A commanding driving position and elevated "stadium" seating give the driver and passengers a clear view of the road (or trail) ahead.
Driving Impressions
Even with 300 hp on tap, the hefty (nearly 6,000-pound) 2009 Land Rover LR3 is no rocket, especially when carrying a full load of passengers. Thanks to quick-thinking performance from the six-speed transmission, though, there is always adequate power available underfoot.
Communicative feedback from the steering lends the LR3 a crisp feel behind the wheel, and a tight turning circle makes it fairly maneuverable in parking lots and campgrounds. However, the vehicle's high center of gravity gives it a somewhat tippy feel when negotiating corners. The advanced suspension makes for a comfortable ride on the highway, though. With the sophisticated four-wheel-drive system, there's also plenty of traction if you ever feel the need to go exploring off-road.

Then she, and her breasts, achieved silver screen fame in I Know What You Did Last Summer, Can't Hardly Wait, Heartbreakers, and The Tuxedo. And it looks like 2005 is going to be a big one for Jennifer; she's going to be seen in Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber, Delgo, and The Magic 7.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE: Beautiful, charming, but always down-to-earth and modest, Jennifer hasn't become jaded at all despite a long and successful showbiz career -- as both an actress and a singer. After all, how can you help but love her? "Love" is literally her middle name.

And I am back for the next task that Heracles had to complete. When we last left our hero, he returned to Eurystheus wearing the hide of the Nemean Lion as a cloak. Terrified, Eurystheus sent Heracles on his next quest, to slay the deadly Lernaean Hydra.
I'll be back
The beast lived in the swampy cave where the Amymone spring lied, by lake Lerna. This location has some significance since it is south of Argos, a city holy to Hera, and this becomes a running theme with the Labors of Heracles. Accompanying Herc was his nephew, Iolaus and they both searched the swamps of Lerna for the cave of the seven headed serpent.
Sweet Cthulhu, someone must have poisoned the swamp
Finally they found the cave in which the serpent hid. Heracles coaxed the monster out by firing arrows at it. The horrible abomination left it's slimy cave and attacked Heracles. The beast's poison could kill in seconds, so Herc had to be careful not to get bit.
Why won't you DIE?!

Thank God we finally got the ***. The world is a better place without him.
Now the question is how to proceed with our "ally" Pakistan. It seems very clear that for over 5 years elements of Pakistani security forces helped to shield Bin Laden from the US. They seem to have made a strategic decision to keep their ties with terrorist groups. Unfortunately, there are no easy answers.
Goose:what appears to be a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter
From pictures showing up on the net it doesn't look to be a Black Hawk at all... hey guys what kind of beast is that??
Maybe you are right Goose, the pictures show a wreak ... but the rotor head I've seen on a picure (probably a tail rotor), apart from the dishpan you mention, show a strange the blade spacing for a Blackhawk, they let me think to a 5 or more blades rotor hub. To me looks a fenetron, quite similar to the one of the RAH-66 Comanche.
It is ok to change the fuselage shape, boom, fairings, dishpan over rotor heads, but changing the rotor(s) is getting quite a modification to stealth a Blackhawk....
I for one won't be speculating on what this may or may not be...do you guys also want a Navy Seal team turning up unannounced in your bedroom ?
Check out Flightglobal's dream team combination on this: Stephen Trimble tells you what the aircraft was, while graphics editor Gareth Burgess has created a 3D graphic which lets you see that whacky tail section from all angles. Enjoy!
While it sounds like a good story , I just can't see an Army unit making these kind of very significant modifications to the aircraft (if it is an MH60K). I may be wrong and if they have , well done. This looks more like something from Skunk works , than a local modification.
The helicopter might have crashed but the mission is in success. One of the details that emerged about the raid in Abbottobad that killed Bin Laden was that the name "Geronimo" was used in connection with the operation. Regardless of whether it referred to bin Laden or some other use for it, one thing is clear. Indians are not pleased with the usage. Some think it's just another in a long line of insults by the American government toward the Indians. There is not an installment loan large enough to cover this one up. Don't get me wrong, I think the mission as a whole was incredibly well planned and executed, and I have nothing but admiration for the Navy Seals who carried it out - but a little common sense in that aspect would not have gone awry.
Well though he is a bad guy for some of us and most of us want him to be dead there is also people who are supporting bin Laden. That's why there will be a film for this very famous killer on earth. Hollywood and the White House are in the middle of partisan bickering on Capitol Hill due to an upcoming movie about the raid that murdered Osama bin Laden. Oscar-winning director of "The Hurt Locker," Kathryn Bigelow, is said to have been privy to inside details about the raid, which she and the White House denies happened. Here is the proof: White House denies sharing inside info for bin Laden film
Osama bin Laden was not murdered. He was an enemy combatant killed in combat, which was a lot better than he deserved.
It was a crime to kill an unarmed man, then abduct the body, take it across international state lines then dispose of the evidence into the Ocean.

"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower."
Steve Jobs
"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."
Albert Einstein
"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."
"If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative."
Woody Allen
"Innovation is not the product of logical thought, although the result is tied to logical structure."
"The heart and soul of the company is creativity and innovation."
Robert Iger
"We must beware of needless innovation, especially when guided by logic."
Winston Churchill
"Without change there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable."
William Pollard
"Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow."
"Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth."

Recipe by Bri Weipert
"Rainy day, and my second attempt at risotto is a delectable success to my surprise. Little bit of Irish, little bit of the Mediterranean, and a little bit of home makes for a great eat. This recipe is delicious vegan or non-vegan. It's a great base for additions too. Let your imagination run wild and comment back on your additions that you like."
Watch video tips and tricks
3 tablespoons margarine (such as Earth Balance®)
3 basil leaves, finely chopped
2 bunches fresh chives, finely chopped
6 cups vegetable stock, or more if needed
1 onion, cubed
1 tomato, cubed
3 Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
2 cups Arborio rice
Waaay too spicy. Tasted like cayanne pepper in vegetable broth.
Super easy and fun way to make vegetarian risotto. It uses ingredients found easily in the kitchen without having to run out and I love using all these spices.
5 Ratings
I reduced the amount of cayenne pepper, cumin, and paprika in this and it was still REALLY spicy. There should be some sort of warning about that. It had a really good flavor but was just too spicy for me. Also I needed an extra cup of broth to finish cooking the rice, which was annoying because I was using bullion and had to boil more water to make it. Make sure you have extra broth when you make this.
This was my first time making or even tasting risotto so I'm not sure if it turned out the way it was supposed to. I do know that the flavours were delicious. I think next time I'll add a bit of chicken; I think that would turn out good. This was so tasty I think I'll serve it to my dinner guests next week.

This is the color I've been looking for: cool pink. Looks amazing and natural on my fair skin especially in the winter. But what I was not prepared for: the GLITTER! those glitter particles are very noticeable and it looks cheap. I much prefer the little round Chanel blushers
A really pretty pink blush, very natural on, this is something I can just apply without thinking. Love it.
Pretty, fresh pink. Shows up very well on my skin, though I'm sure this would probably be too light on medium skin and darker. It is not a bright dolly pink, it's much softer and sophisticated. I like everything about it, I even use the applicator it comes with. I have had no problem with the texture - it picks up on the brush easily. Love it! I'm surprised it doesn't have more positive reviews. Just keep in mind, this works best on fair-to-light skin.

I find that this is too light to be a blush, put used as a highliter over my blush is really pretty.
This is pretty chalky and I don't care for the glitter particles that end up on your chin, nose, etc. The color is a light pink that looks like it's sitting on top of my skin (NW20). I have to rough up the surface wtih a brow brush to even get enough product on a brush to show up! Not a winner for me.

Having owned 2 other Chanel Tweed Duo Blushes (Corail and Sienna which are both lovely on my NC30-35 skintone), I was very excited to wear the Tweed Pink as soon as it got delivered in my doorstep. It really looks very pretty on the pan and I decided to swatch it first on my forearm. As soon as I swiped it, I noticed there were ridiculous amount of glitters (strobe light queen alert, not cool, at least not for me) and I kept on looking for the pink color but it was non-existent at all. I thought, there must be something wrong with my light (I had 2 fluorescent lights on my ceiling during that time) or I should probably try it on my cheeks with a blush bush and it might look better. The blush is very sheer and definitely not pigmented at all and since the glitters are so chunky, I decided to immediately pack this in a box and sent it back to Nordstrom. I am not sure whether the Chanel Pink Tweed would be lovely on lighter skin toned ladies, but one thing I am sure, I would not recommend this blush to medium skin toned ladies.
Lets get this straight. I like natural-looking products. I hate dabs of pink on my face indicating that I am wearing heavily pigmented blush. I like my face to look natural with a subtle hint of blush. So when I saw this one, I expected the glitter to make my skin shine. Not so. This blush is light and the glitter wears off after a while but when you apply it gives the face a nice subtle glow. If only it stayed on and kept that glow for the entire day! The blush doesn't give me patches and looks very sophisticated. I love it!!!
Tweed Pink is so sheer -- but it is perfect for adding a touch of very subtle, natural-looking pink to my complexion. While it appears sparkly at first glance, the overspray quickly wears away after the first few applications. It brightens my entire face and gives it a youthful glow -- I love it. If you are in the very fair range, I highly recommend this blush -- though it may not show up very well on darker complexions.
(For reference, I am approximately NW5-10 / NARS Siberia.)

I find it gives me a natural healthy flush of colour-from-within and really makes me look fresh and young. This colour is also very versatile since its so natural looking (like I'm blushing). Its also very long lasting (as mentioned by the previous reviewer). i find though that i have a hard time picking up the product. I have to literally swipe/scrub off the first layer each time with tissue and still i can't pick up pigment on the brush. For this reason I'm not repurchasing.

This is one of the worst blushes I've ever used. It's barely pigmented and you can barely see it on my skin. The lovely glitters are gone after using it once. I even prefer the E.L.F. blushes over this one. Won't repurchase.

Stephanie VuoloIt takes a lot of effort to keep a small child engaged and focused throughout the day, especially when it is too cold or wet to get outside to break up the day during the winter. I've found a few activities that my daughter is excited to do any time I suggest them. They provide great tactile stimulation and require her to further develop her motor skills in the process. Use these as a starting point to keep your little ones in good spirits even if the weather outside is frightful.

1. Take advantage of how fun water can be to play with. We use a lot of water-based activities even though we are inside more during the winter months. The easiest way is to get my daughter on her step stool and set up at the kitchen sink. I fill a large bowl with warm soapy water and supply her with a sponge and tools like spoons and measuring cups to play with. She spends a lot of time exploring all the options presented, such as squeezing out the sponge, pouring water from container to container, and then she helps me wipe the floor and counters with dry towels. Make this more productive by putting a bunch of plastic toys in for cleaning, it gets kids involved to take care of their own toys.

2. Learn to play with "tweezers". My daughter learned this activity at her preschool, and we've used it both indoors and outdoors this winter. A great way to get toddlers to work on their motor skills is to give them a variety of tools like big spoons, kitchen tongs, sticks, or plastic rakes. They can use these tools as tweezers to pick up homemade balls of newspaper, foil, or wax paper and other small toys they play with. It's a lot of fun to try and collect the items in a bucket. Check with your child to see what they would like to use as a tool or what items they want to try to pick up. It's a great learning opportunity to discuss what happens when they can't pick the item up - such as when the sofa cushion is too heavy for little spoons.
3. Create an indoor obstacle course. Gather together a bunch of different objects to place around the room in a circle or a linear progression. Some of our favorite objects include a fabric tunnel, pillows, a step stool, and some large blocks. Put on music and demonstrate the sequence for the obstacle course. Use a bunch of different preschool friendly movements like jumping, rolling, stepping over, and crawling to navigate around the obstacles. We also use visual cues like the large border on our carpet, which my daughter likes to pretend is a balance beam. It really doesn't matter what they actually do, just make it short enough, with maybe 3-6 options to hold their attention and make it easy enough that they won't get frustrated. I don't pay attention to how well she navigates the course, I just want her to laugh and keep a big smile on her face.

Visitors to Times Square are really feeling "the force".
A replica of a "Star Wars" X-wing fighter, made out of Legos, has landed in the crossroads of the world.
Considered to be the world's largest Lego model, it's being guarded by the most fierce of "Star Wars" characters.
It's part of a promotion for the Cartoon Network show "The Yoda Chronicles."
The 23-ton spaceship is built with more than 5 million Lego bricks.
"That's all, all of it is Legos? That's amazing. That's crazy," said one onlooker.
"I've never seen nothing like this before. Honestly, I haven't. Its amazing," said another onlooker.
Yoda and the X-wing fighter will be in Times Square through Saturday.
It will then be flown to Legoland in California.

Stopping TDF Treatment After Long Term Virologic Suppression in HBeAg-negative CHB (FINITE CHB)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Withdrawal of antiviral therapy can result in hepatic or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) flares as Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) replication resumes; however, in some patients, a flare exacerbates chronic hepatitis temporarily but can also result in viral clearance. Hepatic flares are common after stopping anti-HBV therapy.
Only patients who already are on treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) monotherapy or TDF in combination with lamivudine or emtricitabine for at least 4 years and who achieved and maintained virologic suppression (< 400 copies/mL) for 3.5 or more years will be included in this study. One treatment arm will stop the TDF therapy while the other treatment arm will continue the TDF therapy.
Patients who stop TDF (Arm A) will be monitored very closely with special focus on biochemical flares (especially ALT increases) and virological relapses (Hepatitis B viral load increases). If any subject in the stop therapy arm exceeds one or more predefined limits for such flares or relapses, TDF will be reinstituted.
The study will assess Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss (i.e. specific Hepatitis B virus components are no longer detectable) and seroconversion (occurrence of Hepatitis B surface antibody, a specific antibody which usually occurs after HBsAg loss) rates during study duration. The percentage of patients who need to restart TDF therapy in the stop arm will also be evaluated.

- Proportion of participants with HBsAg loss at Week 144 in both study arms [ Time Frame: Week 144 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The proportion of participants with HBsAg loss will be evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) product limit method. Participants who have not experienced HBsAg loss but discontinue from the study prior to Week 144 are considered censored at the last HBsAg collection date. Log-rank test statistic will be used to compare the time to HBsAg loss between the two treatment arms.

- Proportion of participants who restart TDF therapy in Arm A [ Time Frame: Weeks 48, 96, and 144 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The proportion of participants who restart TDF therapy in Arm A at Weeks 48, 96 and 144 will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) product limit method. Participants who have not re-started TDF therapy but discontinue from the study will be considered as censored at the last laboratory collection date.
- Proportion of participants with viral suppression in Arm A [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 144 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Viral suppression is defined as not having two consecutive HBV DNA ≥ 400 copies/mL.

Having a hard time figuring out the cello entrance...the first forte, written with staccato marks...how loud?

FCA Releases National Study of Caregiver Support Programs
SAN FRANCISCO, October 29, 1999 -- At its long-term care policy conference today in San Francisco, Family Caregiver Alliance released findings of the first in-depth national survey of selected state-funded caregiver support programs.
The study offers a compendium of best practices in caregiver programs. For state policy-makers, the need for such programs is urgent.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, an estimated one in three Americans, or about 52 million persons, provide unpaid care each year for one or more ill or disabled family members or friends of all ages (1998 figures). Approximately 80 percent of long-term care in the United States is provided by families, at home, not in institutions.
States have an increasingly greater responsibility for the financing, eligibility, coverage and delivery of long-term care services, and caregiver support programs play an important role in the every day lives of families. Yet there are differences among states in how-or if-they fund and deliver needed services.
The study profiles 33 programs from 15 states. The annual state expenditures for the programs analyzed ranged from $150,000 (New York's Alzheimer's Disease Community Assistance Program) to $484,797,000 (California's Regional Centers serving persons with developmental disabilities and their families).
Programs selected for analysis were based on:
"Best Practice" Models
The study reports on innovative services in programs from all parts of the U.S. Five programs were recognized as "best practice" models in caregiver support services. They are:
According to Lynn Friss Feinberg, Family Caregiver Alliance's Manager of Research and Information and an author of the report, "This study is designed to stimulate development of programs in states that currently do not have caregiver support programs, and to share information about successful services that can be replicated throughout the nation. Caregiver programs are not just for the older population. People in need of long-term care cover the lifespan, and their service needs are diverse.
"Within the broad array of programs we analyzed, common themes were cited: flexible service packages, broad income eligibility, consumer direction, and a range of respite options. These are services caregiving families and their service providers consistently find most helpful."
Feinberg continues, "Since we started working on this survey, we're very encouraged to see that more states have developed caregiver support programs to meet the growing need."
The study, entitled Survey of Fifteen States' Caregiver Support Programs: Final Report, was funded by the Archstone Foundation. The authors were FCA's Lynn Friss Feinberg, M.S.W., and Tammy Pilisuk, M.P.H..
A national Advisory Committee included: Matt Bowdy, former health policy analyst, The Council of State Governments; Jon Dauphiné, executive director, Long Term Care Campaign; Wendy Fox-Grage, senior policy specialist, National Conference of State Legislators; Elinor Ginzler, senior program specialist for health and long term care, AARP; Rick Greene, program manager, New Jersey Division of Senior Affairs; Gail Gibson Hunt, executive director, National Alliance for Caregiving; Robert Mollica, deputy director, National Academy for State Health Policy; and Myrl Weinberg, president, National Health Council.
Family Caregiver Alliance is a nationally recognized information center on long-term care and the lead agency in California's statewide system of Caregiver Resource Centers.
The report is available at a cost of $30.00 from Family Caregiver Alliance, 180 Montgomery St., Ste. 1100, San Francisco, CA 94104. For more information, see the website at www.caregiver.org.

This is highly upsetting. I was getting really pumped reading all of these people getting it to work! I couldn't even get Mobile Terminal to do the job, and it took me about an hour to get every single letter punched in there correctly.
Anyone that can help my situation, I receive the "Main script execution failed!" error every single time I try and download the 'package'. It's not my Wifi, connection, SIM card, or anything. It's the download that's screwing it up. I've restored. Please refer back to my other post earlier to hear about all of my troubles.
i Have a 1.1.2 OTB. I down graded to 1.1.1 jail breaked it.
Bsd subsystem installed ,then i installed 1.1.2-1.1.3 OTB G-Unlock from installer. Every thing went finegave me a message your Iphone is been Unlocked. I didnt upgraded to 1.1.2 it is not working with T-Mobile.
It is necessary that i shoud update it to jailbroken 1.1.2 or 1.1.3
this will not work for 1.1.1
Early yesterday somebody explained, using this method on a OTB 1.1.3, ICE04.03.13_G.fls should be used. I did that, and now I find myself in deep trouble. I have tried to restore to different versions afterwards with no luck.
The phone part seems to not work at all.
Now I get this message:
"Repair Needed"
"iPhone cannot make or receive calls."
And I am not able to enter the phone with *#307#.
It is not possible to enter a call at all.
Is there any way to fix this?
I can confirm this WORKS perfectly!
I had my phone upgrade from 1.1.2 OTB to 1.1.3 running with NextSim II.
Installed the Geohot package from either iClarified (check the source section) or installer.
Note Poetic, you said do not run it directly from Installer, not sure if anyone got bricked but mine works fine. I jailbroken my phone form one of the guide here. So i think it should work
Pop in a Virgin prepaid simcard (was running on Optus) and it works, although i can't call (no credit) - btw, im in Australia
NOte; i'm not sure whether you MUST install iWorld before upgrading to 1.1.3 or not but it doesn't crash.
Love it! Thanks Geohot
Hi thanks for the reply. I also let it reboot and after the reboot...it recognised my own sim card and asked me to key in my sim card password (does it means that I have an unlock phone?)...But I key in my password...it went ok...but there is no signal...and cant detect my local phone operator.....I had the same situation. I just let my iPhone to reboot; then it was not recognizing my carrier, so I reboot it again, and then it worked great, unlocked (I didn't see that last message either).
Now, my question is, what is the difference between both methods: iClarified and iunlock, I mean between doing it directly from 1.1.2 (iClarified), and downgrading to 1.1.1 and then upgrading again to 1.1.2/1.1.3(Unlock.no)?
Could somebody please answer this question? Advantages and disadvantages? Warnings?
Pls need you guys helpsss...
Do you think do I need to install something (i.e. Tweaks 1.1.2 under what category) as I'm from Singapore.....?Hi thanks for the reply. I also let it reboot and after the reboot...it recognised my own sim card and asked me to key in my sim card password (does it means that I have an unlock phone?)...But I key in my password...it went ok...but there is no signal...and cant detect my local phone operator.....
Pls need you guys helpsss...
This worked so perfectly for me.... Just got a 1.1.3 OOB refurbed from Apple as an exchange from Warranty and shazam! It's working like a charm again!
i'm confirming it works by reading other confirmers confirm that it works.
I had a 1.1.2 OOB and now i am running 1.1.3 and its unlocked and on rogers network without any turbosim or nextsim.. everyone DONATE to Geohot
Anyone has an answer for me??? Cant wait to use it....Hi thanks for the reply.

I just purchased an iPhone today. It was running 1.1.3 OTB. I followed the instructions exactly; downgraded to 1.1.1, jailbreak, BSD, Geo unlock, oktoprep, 1.1.2, jailbreak, dev team 1.1.3. Now my phone is unlocked on 1.1.3 with the baseband 04.02.13_G but it does not get any service at all. It says No Service all the time. I tried powering off the phone several times but it did not do anything. I have been up all night trying to figure this out. Can someone tell me why this may have happened and what I can do to fix this? I really appreciate any help.
Ok, yesterday I unlocked an OTB 1.1.3 16gig iphone. Here is what I did, not saying it is right, but it worked.
Assuming that we all know how to downgrade, I wont go specifics, just the steps.
I downgraded to 1.1.1 for a total of two times.
I then ran ibricker to boot the phone
installed oktoprep
then updated to 1.1.2. I have done OTB 1.1.2s before and usually get the successful restore message. This was not the case with the OTB 1.1.3. Both times, I got the error 1015 message, so I shut down itunes and used ibricker to boot the phone to continue.
I then did the 1.1.2 jailbreak.
Ok now I updated installer, and installed the BSD subsystem 2.0. made sure both current. then I went to settings and set autolock to never (DONT FORGET THIS STEP)
I then installed the official Dev Team 1.1.3-3 softupdate. Once this was done, I had a 1.1.3 jailbroken phone. I said yes to hactivision and to restore
After doing the official 1.1.3 jailbreak, the phone is back to stock. Now at this point you must reinstall BSD subsystem and update installer. You also have to go back to your settings and set autolock to never. DO THIS OR ELSE IT WONT WORK, I LEARNED THIS THE HARD WAY
I then installed bosstools, and moved the fonts to free up space. On the 16gig, you free up 120mb and on the 8gig you free up 84mb of space. I then uninstalled bosstools and rebooted my phone.
Once it rebooted, I added installer.iClarified.com to my sources and then installed the iclarified app with geohot unlock.
My phone rebooted and instantly located my rogers sim card. I went into my settings and reset my network settings to ensure everything was good to go.
This is what I did and it worked like a charm. I really hope that this helps others out. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. If it helps you out give a thanks
Take care
Hi, Although the jailbreak 1.1.2 from conceited software website worked for me before it doesnt seem to be working anymore.
I am running an Advent laptop with windows vista and I have recently restored my laptopn to its factory settings and now when I double click the windows batch file in the jailbreak folder it just pops up breifly and then disappears.
Can anyone help?????
i'am going to donate some money to Mr. George Hotz,for making this happend i love my new 16gig unlock t-mobile phone hahahaha,bite me apple&att.anyone know the sources for removing the 1.1.3 jailbreak devteam from the phone.
there is not an app yet to remove this. If you want to free up some space on the 300mb section, install boss tools and move the fonts only.
On a 16 gig you will get 125mb of free space.
On a 8 gig you wil get 85mb of free space.

Michiana, a Harbor Country® community, is a charming village of less than 200 residents. It is known for its quaint log cabins, many of them dating to the 1920s when the village was first subdivided. Michiana was one of the last resort areas in the region to be developed because of its dense woods and undisturbed natural wetlands. The village is located on the shores of Lake Michigan and on the Indiana/Michigan state border, hence the name Michiana was given in 1945.

John was a pleasure to work with. He was professional - checking in to ensure he had the tone and style I wanted for the role. John was very accommodating of our short timelines and last minute requests. Our end product will sound much more professional thanks to his voice!
John was fantastic. There is amazing talent on this site and I personally reviewed every last one of the 72 submissions for this project. It was extremely tough getting down past the last 15 or so. John, however, nailed this particular voice we needed with precision and his work ethic is incredibly professional. Highly recommended.
