Welcome to another episode of typical brilliance. Yes, it's time for another round of Stupid Programming Tricks. We've been doing tricks for a while, and we can make some neat stuff, but are we as cool as the guys who wrote arcades such as Ms. PacMan, Arkanoid and Joust? Those were pretty fun video games, even if they were 2-D and took place on stationary backgrounds. The point is, software can be truly fun even if it's simple, and the most elegant game would likely be the simplest. (I imagine you can find Go enthusiasts who would agree.) Now, imagine if thousands of people across the world were playing a video game you wrote—that'd be pretty amazing.
The C language, libraries and GNU/Linux tools make it possible to develop software quickly, and game programming is one of the very best ways to learn how to code. It involves challenges of interface design, graphics and animation, real-time scheduling, collision detection, physics, sound, hardware interfaces (such as keyboard, joystick and mouse), as well as limitless creative scope. Best of all, game programming techniques are applicable to any kind of programming, from audio and video applications to user interfaces and indeed any program from "Hello World!" on up.
Programing an entire game is a mildly difficult project that could take a few days, but we'll look at one of the most basic elements, something applicable to any application involving graphics. We've already discussed how to initiate console graphics, how to scroll text across a screen and how to play music and sound. Now, we'll take a look at something simple but important: how to move an object smoothly over a background without damaging the background.
For our purposes, we'll start with the usual SVGAlib (you know, runs-as-root-not-very-safe SVGAlib), and initialize two screens: our virtual screen and our physical screen. The standard procedure, as you may remember from previous episodes, is to do all our drawing to the virtual screen (because it's much faster and flicker-free), then copy the virtual screen to the physical screen and hold it still for 1/60th of a second (the duration of a vertical refresh, which could even be 1/85th of a second on really fast equipment). For our background, we'll generate something cool by drawing a few lines and applying some sine equations to the pallette. As for the shape we intend to slide over the background, we'll use some equations to make a very funky square. Obviously, it's a small step to go from this situation to loading a custom-drawn background and an animated character, but we'll stick with our simple approach, largely because algorithms that generate graphics are inherently cool.
If you draw a background and then move your graphic across the screen, you'll leave a trail of pixels and ruin the background, which often happens periodically on slow computers running X. (You may remember the grey smears caused by moving a window, especially in Netscape and advanced window managers.) One solution is to redraw the entire background, then stamp your graphic in its new location. The problem with this approach is it severely wastes processor resources (you'll be redrawing the background at least 60 times every second), which makes for slow programs. Personally, I favor fast code and hack-job optimizations over structurally organized, procedural code; for example, loops instead of recursive algorithms. Redrawing the background often makes sense, if you're making changes to the entire background or if you do not have hardware scrolling capabilities. Suppose you have a 320x200x256 background (320 pixels wide, 200 pixels tall, with 256 8-bit colors), and you want to move only a 16x16 graphic across it. Think Ms. PacMan. Why not just draw the heroine and the ghosts? Why redraw the maze all the time, if it doesn't change? How much is actually moving?
The procedure we'll use is known as the cookie-cutter technique. It involves making a backup copy of the area onto which you want to stamp your graphic (on an Amiga, we'd call it "blitting" rather than "stamping"). Essentially, you make a backup copy of the target area, stamp your graphic over that area on the screen, hold it for a vertical refresh (so that the image is present long enough for the eye to register it), then replace the stamped area with the backup (cookie-cut) you made, stamping the background over your old image, and start again. As long as your graphic uses transparent or masked bits (instead of stamping solid black), you'll see your graphic sitting nicely on top of the background. It's the same situation as laying a graphic on the background of a web page, only here it's moving.
In our actual program, you'll notice we're using a physical screen and a virtual screen, when we could get by if we used only a physical screen (after all, copying a virtual screen to a physical screen is a more processor-intensive procedure than copying 16x16 pixels of background to a backup buffer, blitting a 16x16 image, and replacing the 16x16 background segment). The point is that drawing to a virtual screen is very fast, and if you ever want to do more than a single moving box, you'll be very happy you're already using the virtual screen. Extensibility is a good idea, especially when you leave things open for your own imagination.
The routine for moving the box will be simple. We'll use a sine for the x coordinate and a sine for the y coordinate (it'll look very smooth). We need to avoid accidentally drawing parts of the graphic out of bounds (which can lead to a segmentation fault), so the equations won't look exactly like 160*sin(x)+160 or 100*sin(x)+100, but they'll be fairly close. Sine equations are very useful, and chips these days are very fast at trig so you don't have to worry about optimizing, for example, by building a table of already-calculated sine values. For fun, we could also cycle the colors so that the image would look groovy, but you can try to implement this yourself, if your computer is fast enough. Here we go, and remember, this time we'll need the math library, so compile with
gcc -Wall -O2 joyousbox.c -lvgagl -lvga -lm -o\ joyousbox
(recent gcc/egcs versions will automatically link the math library, but to be sure, we like to include it). See Listing.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

The SEC would go after East Tennessee State University before they bring in a school from Pennsylvania. Part of the whole SEC mantra is being THE SOUTHEASTERN Conference. Sorry, not going to go after a school in northern PA.
The rich are getting richer in college sports.
In a move that will cause seismic quakes across the landscape of college athletics (and future conference expansion plans), the University of Texas and ESPN have finally reached an agreement in their efforts to build a television network geared exclusively toward Longhorn sports.
Texas will make $300 million over the course of its 20-year deal with ESPN and its new Longhorn Network will be the first of its kind. Think Big Ten Network (which is a partnership between that conference and Fox) but with one school earning all the proceeds.
Texas is an IMG school and once that group's multimedia rights fees are sliced out, the Longhorns should receive about $15 million per year in new revenue. That's on top of its existing "biggest piece of the pie" cut from Big 12 revenues. Which has already helped Texas fund the biggest sports budget in the country for 2010-11.
With this kind of financial advantage — plus a great recruiting base, tremendous facilities, and a history of winning — SEC fans had better get used to seeing Texas in BCS bowls and Final Fours. The Longhorns are about to become uber-rich… which should help them to become even stronger in athletics. If that's possible.
On another front, Texas was very much at the heart of 2010′s conference expansion talks. The Big 12 nearly broke apart because the have-nots in that league were sick of being controlled (and out-spent) by the one very big have down in the Lone Star State.
The Pac-10 almost expanded to 16 teams in order to land the Horns. The Big Ten also flirted with Bevo and company. This summer was all about Texas. And now Texas has even more power.
At some point the Big 12 will finally come apart. When that happens, every league out there will race to land the Longhorns. But Texas will have the power to demand whatever it likes from its new partners, thus setting up a new conference that will face the same revenue-sharing issues that have plagued the Big 12.
In other words, everyone will want Texas because they're so rich and powerful. But landing Texas might actually be a bad thing in the long haul… because they're so rich and powerful.
[...] Pennington has an excellent analysis of future conference expansion involving the University of Texas, already the nation's [...]

< Return To Hearing
Mary MoranMarch 24, 2008 US Senate Judiciary Committee Field Hearing Testimony March 24, 2009 - Rutland, Vermont "The Rise of Drug-Related Violent Crime in Rural America:
I am sure that my colleagues representing law enforcement will speak to the specifics of recent events in Rutland and Vermont as a whole. I would like to focus on the "finding solutions" elements in the title of the hearing. First, and I cannot stress this enough, we have great working relationships between and among departments and agencies in here in Rutland; this is a community strength. The schools, the police department under Chief Bossi's leadership, the fire service, Rutland Mental Health, the Rutland Regional Medical Center, the courts and diversion program, the Department of Children and Families, the Boys & Girls Club (which started as a school developed youth program eleven years ago and has grown into a full service B&GC in downtown), all work well together to support our children and families and the health and safety of all in our community. Yet, we still have great needs to address. Of particular concern is the rise in the population in our Early Essential Education Program (EEE), which serves disabled three and four year olds. These numbers have increased from 37 in 1998, to 41 in 2003, to 75 in 2008. Many of these children are physically and medically challenged; some are developmentally delayed; some have autism. So, why do I mention this population as we speak about drugs and crime? It is because we believe that an increasing number of these children are coming to us impaired because of drug use. Yes, we have crack babies in Vermont, as well as children who suffer from the results of fetal alcohol syndrome. Some question why we must serve these children. Well, we must do so because of state and federal mandates; but, more important, they must be cared for and educated. Helping these children and families as early as possible gives hope for their future development and success in life. Arguing about whether the Agency of Human Services or the public schools should provide these services, and where the resulting costs fall or funding comes from, does little to help a struggling young mother. At the federal level, assistance should also be a priority, for instance, in the area of Health & Human Services funding for children's mental health services. Directly related to the issue of these babies' needs and the growth of drug use and violence is our shared concern about the lack of services that are available for youth in the age 14 to 18 range. It is these young people who are often most susceptible to those, mostly, as Chief Bossi tells me, who come from "away," who prey on the more vulnerable in our community as they ply their drug/thug trade. Disaffected young women are particularly at risk, as the recent events in Rutland would seem to indicate. This high-risk group needs more attention, at home, in school, and in the form of more services from the Department of Children & Families, safe respite housing, or more available foster care. So, what's working well in Rutland? In the schools, we have excellent health and counseling services and, as mention above, a close affiliation with the programs and services of Rutland Mental Health. For many of our children and families, the health unit at school is the first line of medical care. We have highly trained and experienced nurses and counselors in each school who provide assistance and support to families as well as children. These services are largely supported by state and federal Medicaid funds, which, as you know, are also at risk. As these sources of financial support are either level funded or cut, we will face the daunting choice of having the local taxpayer assume more of these vital costs, or being forced to cut these essential programs. As Chair of the Board of Trustees at the Rutland Regional Medical, I also know the impact that the reduction of school nursing and counseling services would have on the Rutland Mental Health Services and the Emergency Department at RRMC, both community resources that also face significant cuts in Medicaid funding. A great success story is that of the 21st Century Learning Center programs in our region: the Tapestry Program which serves Rutland City, West Rutland, Proctor and Rutland Town, and the SOAR Program in Brandon for the communities served by the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union. Tapestry, a nationally recognized and award winning program, serves well over 600 children from three to six PM each day as well as in comprehensive summer programming. Both Tapestry and SOAR provide remedial and tutorial services, enrichment and recreation, health and counseling, field trips and cultural experiences, and... a healthy lunch and snack. An independent outside evaluation has indicated that the Tapestry Program has supported our children's academic performance, and that participation clearly provides a safe and healthy experience for our kids. Unfortunately, the future of the 21st Century Learning Centers Program is at grave risk; major funding cuts and movement to an inefficient and unpredictable voucher program are currently being considered in Washington. Research tells us that the most dangerous time of day for children and youth is from three to six in the afternoon. That is why, in addition to Tapestry, the Rutland City Board of School Commissioners has consistently supported an extensive co-curricular program in the arts, activities and athletics. Kids who are actively engaged with caring adults are far less likely to become involved in drug use and crime. In addition, we have an active collaboration with the Boys & Girls Club of Rutland County, as mentioned above. We have just submitted, and are hopeful of receiving, a new grant, which will increase the collaborative work between the B&GC and Tapestry. The Mentor Connector is another grant funded local program that matches adult advisors with local young people to develop and support positive relationships and healthy choices. Finally, let me mention one of the most successful collaborative programs in our City: the COPS or School Resource Officer Program. Under the leadership of Chief Tony Bossi and Captain Scott Tucker, we have worked with the police department in the training of both school administrators and police officers in this most positive program. Our three SROs are more than police officers; they are mentors, teachers, counselors, family service interventionists, beat cops, and friends to the children and youth of this City. They work closely with our teachers, administrators and school counselors as we seek to assist both children and their families. They provide safe home visits as well as health and safety checks when necessary. They are a visible presence in our schools when they are in session, and on the streets of downtown during vacation periods. Kids know and like them; they are a great resource in our community. Now, I might sound like a broken record here, but this program is also at risk as we speak. Safe & Drug Free Schools funding has been significantly reduced, as have the grant funds available for the COPS Program from the Department of Justice. Given the time allowed, I have attempted to help to define the needs as well as celebrate some of the successes in our community. Once again, on behalf of the children and families of Rutland City, thank you for being here today to consider this very important topic.

I've used Stew-Mac 5-star banjo pegs on my top line dulcimers for 40 years now and they are the best for both looks and reliability
I make my own banjos and although I only buy small amounts for individual projects, I have always found Stewmac helpful and very quick to deliver.
Received my tuning pegs and they work great. Now my banjo has upgrated tuners. I Love them. Was a bit disapointed on the duty charges to Canada when picked up at UPS. Will ship lower mail post next time.
Easy to install,smooth movement,and they look great to what more can you ask for!!
They were so easy to fit to the tenor banjo, ordered another set for my Tenor Guitar. Easy to adjust, smooth action and they look GOOD on the instrument. Obviously a quality product. Thanks Stewmac.
I've been playing banjo for over thirty years, so when I decided to design an ekonting (the West African instrument) with tuners, I naturally gravitated to Five-Star tuners. I use two 5th pegs on the sides of my necks and one standard, straight-through tuner. That's it-- three strings. The Five-Star tuners are easy to work with and have always worked well for me. I always replace the knobs (I agree, the stock knobs are very unattractive), and I haven't had issues as others have mentioned with the replacement knobs being too tight. I have used the ebony knobs. I wonder if this is a recent development (I still have some which are probably two years old). Tried to use Waverly, but they cut the nylon strings. So, I have one steel string ekonting. Fun.
I have a number of banjos that have Stew-Mac tuners on them and I am extremely pleased. One set of my 5 star's began to slip and I could not tighten them any further. I called Stew-Mac and was informed that they would replace the set. I was not expecting that. In a few days my new set arrived and I returned the old postage paid by Stew-Mac. I have always been a fan of theirs and they just keep giving me reasons to continue. They are extremely professional and very personable to boot. I can't say enough. Regards, Les Thompson Founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
Received a set of Five-Star tuners including a fith string geared tuner. The tuners I received did not fit 3/8" pegholes as advertised in the specs. When I miked the shafts they were five thousands over 3/8". That makes them around 10 mm. Without a reamer, I had to drill out the pegholes. Also, the replacement ebony knobs that I ordered did not fit as the tuner peg shaft is a little oversize. In addition, the fifth string tuner's knob and screw does not match the tuners. I should have sent the tuners back as now I have oddball pegholes. For all the work required to make these work, I would pop for the extra twenty bucks and buy the Waverley tuners.
I intend to use these pegs for a Hurdy-Gurdy, and they are just what I was looking for. I do not like the plastic perloid knobs, but I purchased a set of replacement ebony knobs (which, by the way, do not fit at first instance: you'll have to file a little to get them fit). What I don't know is why they are not produced directly with more attractive knobs from the beginning.
I've used these Five-Star planetaries on several of my vintage banjos. For years I wanted to keep my banjos "vintage" so I put up with the old friction pegs. But for me, a banjo is meant to be played! So I have replaced my old friction pegs with these affordable and well-made tuners on several of my Vega tenor banjos. The only issue is that, like other tuners, they may not be long enough to make it through the thickest part of your headstock... the two tuners closest to the neck. I solved this by using a 5/8" Forstner bit to drill down the thickness of the headstock for these two tuners to the same thickness as the headstock for the other two tuners. I only had to drill down about 1/8", and the Five-Stars slip down into the drill-down, and you can't even tell. And banjo playing is so much more fun when your instruments are easy to tune. These planetaries are cheaper than other brands, but are solidly built, work well, and look a lot like vintage tuners. I think they are often used by custom banjo builders like Bart Reiter.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

My personal mission statement for college is to continue to be a lifelong learner with distinction, commitment, and a passion for helping others. I have a vision of being a catalyst for change on a global level. I have been blessed to give back to my local community through continued volunteer service with the Broad Street Clinic Foundation in Morehead City. Since I will be attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I would love to perform research and community service on a subject that may benefit others in our international communities. I will use the knowledge and skills I gain to improve the world in any way I can, large or small.
Growing up on a barrier island along the North Carolina coast has provided me with a deep appreciation of our natural resources and environment. I am an avid SCUBA diver, boating enthusiast, sailor, and kayaker. I am also a student pilot and plan on obtaining my pilot's license this summer.
I would like to thank God, my parents, the team at Croatan High School, my friends, and my community for the lasting support.

Decreases body's production of testosterone
MONDAY, Dec. 10 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of Zytiga (abiraterone acetate) has been expanded to include treating late-stage castration-resistant prostate cancer before the administration of chemotherapy, the agency said today.
The drug, designed to decrease production of testosterone, was first approved in November 2011 for use in patients whose prostate cancer progressed after treatment with docetaxel.
Zytiga's approval for the new use followed a clinical study of 1,088 men with advanced, castration-resistant prostate cancer who hadn't received chemotherapy. Men who took Zytiga had a median survival of 35.3 months, compared to 30.1 months among those who took a placebo.
The most common adverse reactions included fatigue, swollen joints, hot flushes, diarrhea, vomiting, cough, and high blood pressure.
Zytiga is marketed by Janssen Biotech, based in Horsham, Pa.

Nicholson, British Columbia
Golden Eco Adventure Ranch
[ 10/10 ]
You have to check this place out! Nestled between the mountain ranges with Rockies on both sides it is awe inspiring. Immaculate washrooms and facilities. No sewer at the sites, but dump station is close to the RV area. Pull through sites are HUGE. Yes, the mosquitoes could be a little annoying, but come prepared for it. Many trails and forest service roads in the area to get you off the beaten path. Some go to the top of the mountains including Mount 7. There is a local hang and para glider jump point with views overlooking the RV park and valley. Hats off to the park. They know how to make you feel welcome and accommodated.
Banff National Park, Alberta
Tunnel Mountain Trailer Court Campground - Full Hookups (Parks Canada)
[ 10/10 ]
Always a pleasure to go to Banff. 1st time staying at Tunnel Mountain. It was supposed to be a stop over but ended up staying 7 nights. They have a 1st come, 1st served policy for extending your stay which made it easy. They keep 50% of the RV park unreservable for people like myself that enjoyed the area and wanted to stay longer. We did move to another site but it was better than the reserved site. Excellent service and will be returning in the near future.
Cochrane, Alberta
Bow RiversEdge Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Lions always have excellent camp grounds. Bow Rivers Edge is no exception. Last minute stop in and they were very accommodating in providing me a site for my 40 foot 5th wheel. Although the site was small for my rig, They did provide all the help they could in getting me situated. Excellent service and I will be going back there on my return trip from lower BC. Clean, clean, clean.. Staff were a pleasure to deal with..

Credit cards and charge accounts
Credit cards and charge accounts
A credit card is a convenience which lets the consumer buy goods and services without having to carry cash and checkbooks. This plastic card represents the legal agreement you have with a creditor such as a department store or bank.
When you open a credit card account, the creditor is required by law to set out the terms of the account in writing, including the annual percentage rate and any fees such as an annual fee, over-the-limit fees and late charges that will be charged for the privilege of having the account. This information is usually part of a written agreement, or contract, that also has other terms and conditions related to the account such as minimum payment requirements and what actions by you would violate the agreement.
Most credit cards are for accounts on which you are required to make regular payments, but do not have to pay the whole amount that you owe every month. These accounts are called "revolving accounts". One of the conditions for most revolving accounts is that the consumer agrees not to go over the credit limit which has been set for him by the creditor. If he does, he may be required to pay an over-limit fee as well as paying the amount over the credit limit IMMEDIATELY or lose the privilege of making further charges on the account.
Laws relating to seller and lender credit card accounts are similar but with some differences. When you have a credit card issued by a seller, such as a department store, your use of that credit card results in an obligation directly to the seller. In other words the creditor and seller are the same. However, when you use a credit card issued by a bank to make a purchase from a store or other seller, you owe money directly to the bank which, in effect, has made you a loan so you can buy goods or services from a seller. In that case, the bank has paid the store for you, and the bank is the creditor.
Creditors are required by law to send detailed monthly statements whenever there is activity on your account, such as a charge or a credit. If you believe there is a mistake on your statement, the Fair Credit Billing Act gives you a legal right to contact the creditor, and if there was a mistake, to have it corrected. The law defines a billing error as any charge for something you did not buy or for a purchase made by someone not authorized to use your account. A billing error is also something that is not properly identified on your bill, or is for an amount different from the actual purchase price. Another form of billing error is when you are billed for an item that you did not accept when it was delivered, or which was not delivered according to agreement. Billing errors may also include errors in arithmetic, failure to reflect a payment or other credit to your account, or failure to mail your statement to the correct address. You also have the right in some instances not to pay certain charges on your bill if you have a legitimate dispute with the seller of goods or services charged to your account.
If you think your bill is wrong, notify the creditor in writing immediately. Write to the address the creditor lists for billing inquiries, giving your name, account number, explaining the error and the amount involved. You are still obligated to pay all parts of the bill not in dispute. The creditor must reply to your letter within 30 days. However, the creditor has up to 90 days to correct your account or tell you why they believe the bill is correct. If the creditor made the mistake, you do not have to pay any finance charges on the amount in question. Your account must be corrected and you must be sent an explanation of any amount you still owe.
Under South Carolina law, creditors may change the terms of a credit card account after the account has been opened. If the change is significant, such as increasing any charges for using the account, creditors must give you advance notice in writing. In some instances, the new terms will apply unless you send a written request to your creditor to terminate you account before the new terms go into effect. If your account is terminated as a result, you may continue to pay off your account under the old terms.
This information was prepared to give you some general information on the law. It is not intended as legal advice about any particular problem. If you have questions about the law you should consult a lawyer. If you do not know a lawyer, you can call the South Carolina Bar Lawyer Referral Service weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. The number is 799-7100 in Richland or Lexington Counties, and 1-800-868-2284 from other parts of the state.

In 2011, prompted by calls to the i-Base phoneline reporting wide diversity in the information given to people contacting GUM clinics for HIV testing, i-Base wanted to understand why this was often different to UK guidelines. Although 4th generation HIV tests are recommended at four weeks post exposure, many people were still being advised to wait for three months.
Results from the prospective community survey of 112 randomly selected GUM clinics that was then undertaken, were presented by Emma Rezel from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, in an oral presentation at BHIVA. [1]
A mystery patient scenario was used to conduct a semi-structured questionnaire at the point of contact or a contact the caller was immediately forwarded on to. This was to mimic the reality of advice and information made available in a natural situation to a member of the public calling a clinic with queries about HIV testing.
In response to the question "Is it a third or fourth generation test?" 40% of clinics stated it was a 4th generation test, 6% gave some indication that it was a 4th generation test, for example, mentioning that it could detect the presence of an antigen, 4% stated or gave some indication that they used a 3rd generation test, 2% stated they used both, 1% said they used a PCR test. However, 31% didn't know, 8% gave an inaccurate or unclear response, and 8% didn't answer.
Responses to the question "How accurate are the results and when should I come and get tested?'" were equally mixed with only 24% of clinics mentioning the accuracy of fourth generation tests at 4 weeks post exposure and 36% only referring to accuracy at 12 weeks suggesting 3rd rather than 4th generation testing procedures were being referred to.
Although nearly all clinics mentioned the need for the caller to come into the clinic, only 41% were sensitive and non-judgmental and put the service-user at ease, providing responses:
"There's no need to be anxious. A nurse will answer all your questions if you go in for an appointment."
"Even if he was positive, it depends on various factors, like, if he's on treatment and if there's blood-to-blood transmission. HIV is hard to catch so don't worry".
By contrast, 13% of clinics scored particularly poorly in terms of sensitivity to the anxieties of the caller provide confusing or unsympathetic responses:
"We don't understand it all so I doubt you will either."
"If you don't know much about him, why did you have unprotected sex with him?"
"We only see positive tests amongst heterosexuals who have sex with someone from Africa."
"If you're not prepared for a positive result, don't come in for a test."
While these examples produced some of the few lighter moments during the conference, the implications of these findings was not lost on many attendees, especially given that an earlier BHIVA audit reported 4th generation tests being used by 95% of clinics that responded.
The i-Base study found no difference between geographical location of clinics (London vs out of London) but did find a statistically significantly better responses when callers were able to speak to a doctor, nurse or health advisor rather than an administrator or receptionist, suggesting that some degree of retraining be developed for anyone taking direct calls from members of the public.
In response to this issue, i-Base have produced a new non-technical guide to HIV testing and the risk of sexual transmission, free to order for UK clinics. [2]

From her album "The Road", a song based on Psalm 23 and Psalm 27:4 and Psalm 27:1 and Psalm 109:105 and John 16:33 and John 14:6 and, well, I guess the whole song is based on some Bible verse. Cool! Written by the brilliant Jennie Lee Riddle ("Revelation Song") and Jonathan Lee. Of course, in John 10:11 Jesus proclaims that He is the Good Shepherd, but that's not really the message here; the message is our acknowledgment of His proclamation. The acknowledgment that we are in His hands, that we can trust Him, that He will protect us, that we shall not want for anything. Hallelujah!

Medical Treatment of Essential TremorsSeveral medicines are useful in the amelioration of the tremors, however and with the exception of the mild tremors, they do not result in full suppression of the tremors. Even though these medications have some side effects, the advantages of decreasing the intensity of the tremors, in severe cases, overcomes the disadvantages due to the potential side effects. Alcohol (ethanol) can decrease the intensity of the tremors. Many individuals recognize that drinking alcohol before meals is very helpful. The main side effect is related to the potential risk for addiction to alcohol, and for that reason this is a technique that few practitioners will endorse. Also, when the effects of the ethanol wear off, the tremors return and may even be more intense. One of the most effective medications for essential tremors is propranolol (Inderal, Inderal LA), which is also an alcohol but with no addition effect. There are sustained-release preparations that prolong the effects of the medication for several hours. Side effects of propranolol are bronchospasm (this cannot be used in persons with asthma), sleepiness, and impotence, among others. There are other medications in this family such as metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL) and nadolol (Corgard) that might have fewer side effects but are not as effective. Primidone (Mysoline) a drug first used as an antiepileptic medication, is also useful and is indicated when propranolol is not effective. Other anticonvulsant medications [gabapentin (Neurontin, Gabarone), topiramate (Topamax)] have been tried but they are not considered as first-line treatments. In extreme cases of essential tremor, botulinum toxin might be indicated. However, this treatment is associated with weakness, and its effect is transitory. This treatment may be considered for the most severe cases when propranolol or primidone have failed to relieve symptoms. In some individuals, mostly those with mild tremors, the use of a wristband with weights in it might help to decrease the magnitude of the oscillations. These devices can be useful when eating or drinking. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Tremors

Born in Texas in 1930, Ross Perot is best known as one of the most successful third-party candidates in American history. From 1957 to 1962, Perot worked for IBM. Afterward, he formed his own company, Electronic Data Systems, which he sold to General Motors in 1984 for $2.5 billion. In 1992, Perot ran as an independent candidate for the U.S. presidency, winning nearly 19 percent of the popular vote. He ran again in 1996. The Reform Party, which he founded in 1995,
"I was what they called a day trader. You'd buy it in the morning and sell it in the afternoon and make a few dollars' profit if you were lucky."
gradually established its autonomy from him. Perot has authored several books, including Ross Perot: My Life & the Principles for Success and United We Stand. He announced in 2012 that he would be releasing an autobiography, Ross Perot: My Life, in January 2013.
Early Life
Born in Texarkana, Texas, on June 27, 1930, Ross Perot became one of the country's leading businessmen and later a political force to be reckoned with. He got some of charm and business acumen from his father Gabriel Ross Perot. His father ran a cotton wholesaling company and had other ventures. Perot was the couple's third child, but his older brother, Gabriel Ross Perot Jr., died as a toddler. He also had an older sister named Bette.
Originally named Henry Ray Perot, he changed his name to Henry Ross Perot in his early teens. Perot was close to his father, and their trips to cattle auctions served as lessons in salesmanship. According to Ken Gross's Ross Perot: The Man Behind the Myth, he started out buy and selling saddles and other equipment, and later, animals themselves. "I was what they called a day trader," Perot once said. "You'd buy it in the morning and sell it in the afternoon and make a few dollars' profit if you were lucky." Perot also worked as a newspaper delivery boy.
In 1949, Perot enrolled at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. There he thrived, serving as class president in both his junior and senior years. During this time, Perot met his wife Margot. The pair married in 1956, and eventually had five children together.
Successful Businessman
After leaving the U.S. Navy in 1957, Perot returned to Texas with his wife. He soon put his strong sales skills to work as an employee for IBM. Perot decided to branch out on his own after a few years, forming Electronic Data Systems in 1962. This new company provided other businesses with data processing systems and services.
What started out as a one-person operation grew into a thriving business. In 1968, Perot became a millionaire when he took EDS public. The values of his shares grew substantially, eventually making him a billionaire. Outside of business, Perot was active in issues relating to prisoners of war and soldiers missing in action in the Vietnam War. He also orchestrated a daring rescue when two of his own employees were taken hostage in Iran in 1979. The operation to free these prisoners later became the basis for the Ken Follett book On Wings of Eagles.
In 1984, General Motors bought a controlling interest in EDS. The initial deal provided Perot with cash and GM shares, and he became a vocal critic of his new business partners.

Military veterans make the ultimate contribution to society—they put their lives on the line for their country. Since the nation's founding, the dedication and bravery of soldiers has been the a key pillar on which the United States stands. From Revolutionary War heroes to Vietnam veterans, here's a look at famous military veterans.

Eagle Scouts
Incorporated in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America was founded with the aim of instilling ethics and morals into the lives of young boys. A Scout is a "trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent," boy who, above all, strives to "be prepared" and "do his best." The highest order of these Boy Scouts are the Eagle Scouts, a rare group of young men who rise through the scouting ranks to earn 21 merit badges, serve for six months in a troop leadership position, and successfully complete a strict Eagle Scout board of review, among other requirements.
The first Eagle Scout to complete this training was 17-year-old Arthur R. Eldred, on September 2, 1912. Since then, more than 2 million Boy Scouts have earned the coveted rank. Here are some of the most famous of the honorable young men who made it to the top of the Boy Scouts program.Eagle Scouts 26 people in this group

A forum for discussing what's working -- and what isn't -- in standards and assessments.
Assessing Critical Thinking
How do you do this? It occurred to me today that although I encourage critical thinking, I don't explicitly assess it on a rubric. This seems like a great oversight on my part, but then thinking about it, what would the criteria be and, even more importantly, how would it be levelled? My initial idea is to have a a matrix such as:
-does not give evaluative comments / ask probing questions (no evidence)
-is starting to give evaluative comments / ask probing questions (beginning)
-regularly gives evaluative comments / asks probing questions (competent)
-does, & encourages others to, give evaluative comments / ask probing questions (advanced)
This is very rough and off the top of my head. What do you think? Anyone got any examples they are willing to share?
