Bloomberg News
Players using current football helmets aren't adequately protected against hits to the side of the head, which can lead to sometimes-lethal concussions and brain swelling, researchers said.
Ten helmets tested by researchers reduced the likelihood of traumatic brain injury by an average of 20 percent compared with no helmet in a simulation using crash test dummies. The most effective helmet reduced the risk by only 30 percent, according to data released Monday.
Concussion risks in sports are under increasing scrutiny as some deaths among young football players may have been prevented if those with head injuries had been kept off the field, according to a 2011 study in the journal Pediatrics. Research published in January 2013 found abnormalities in the brains of former National Football League players compared with those who didn't play the game. Current tests of helmets focus on impacts that lead to broken skulls, and don't adequately assess the chances of traumatic brain injury, researchers said.
"None of them are fantastic, sadly, and maybe that's the take-home message," John Lloyd, the study author and the research director at San Antonio, Florida-based Brains Inc., said in a telephone interview. "Maybe if football players realized that their helmet only reduced their concussion risk by 20 to 30 percent, they'd lead with the head less often."
Professional sports leagues, including the NFL and Major League Baseball, have changed their medical protocols for treating players with head injuries in response to concussion data. Football is the deadliest sport among youths, and 12 percent of football deaths are caused by head or neck injuries involving students who returned to the game after a concussion. Helmets may provide another target to make sports safer, Lloyd said.
The researchers used a crash-test dummy head and neck to see how well they'd respond with and without helmets to 12 mile- per-hour impacts. They conducted 300 tests, and also tried to measure how much the brain twists in the head. The tests allowed the neck to flex on impact, to better simulate rotational forces.
"When the head comes to a sudden stop, if it's rotating, the brain material is twisting inside the head," Lloyd said. "That can cause concussion and brain injury, including life- threatening subdural hematomas."
The best helmet reduced the likelihood of concussion by 30 percent, Lloyd said. That may be because it was lighter than the other helmets, causing the head and neck to rotate less. It wasn't as good at providing protection against direct impacts that might shatter the skull, and didn't perform as well on standard tests, he said.
The study also found that football helmets fared better against linear impacts, which lead to bruising and skull fracture. Compared with dummies with no helmets, the football helmets reduced the risk of skull fracture by 60 to 70 percent and reduced the risk of brain bruising by 70 to 80 percent.
The research was released in advance of a presentation at the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting starting April 26 in Philadelphia.
Lloyd suggested that taking the facemask off the helmet and switching to a soft helmet may help diffuse the impact, leading to fewer brain injuries. This is how the scalp works to protect the brain, moving to allow force to be spread and absorbed, he said. Helmets made of softer materials and without facemasks were used in football more than 50 years ago.
"If we got away from hard helmets, we could use advanced materials to provide protection for the head and brain," he said. "The only downside is you wouldn't have anything to attach a faceguard to."
Brains Inc., a company focused on the biomechanics of traumatic brain injury, supported the study.

"It doesn't bother me at all," he said, looking across the room where reporters were swarming such players
as Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.
"I'm the new guy on the totem pole," Harvey said.
Harvey was seated at a table next to Royals manager Tony Pena, who is an All-Star Game coach. Pena
drew a lot of interest, Harvey not very much.
Kansas City reporters came calling, of course. There was a guy who wanted an inspirational message for
kids. The odd radio or TV station would stop by, taking advantage of the open space.
Harvey was voted onto the team by the players. For much of the season, he ranked high among the AL
leaders. However, his average has slipped to .305. He has 10 homers, 13 doubles and 34 RBIs.
"I still believe that Ken Harvey has a ways to go and that he's going to show more than he has so far this
year," Pena said.
The interview interlude was just a light warmup for Harvey. He was looking forward to schmoozing in the
AL clubhouse and meeting some of the 500-homer club who are being honored in Houston.
He especially wanted to meet Hank Aaron.
"As an African-American, he has done a lot to pave the way for me," Harvey said. "I just want to shake his
hand and say thank you. Maybe get an autograph, too."
Earlier in the day, former Royals center fielder Carlos Beltran was a much-sought subject by the media.
Elected by the AL players, he was traded to the Astros and was to be only a participant in the festivities, not
play in the game.
But when Ken Griffey Jr. suffered a partial hamstring tear, he was added by the NL as an active player.
"He definitely deserves to be here," Harvey said. "You don't want to see Griffey go down like that but I'm
glad for Carlos."
Beltran was informed of the decision by Astros manager Jimy Williams.
"I was happy when he told me I was going to be on the roster," Beltran said. "I wasn't 100 percent happy. I
was happy but not 100 percent."
As Beltran was answering questions, he moved back a bit and the legs of his chair toppled off the six-inch
podium. Beltran fell backward into a black curtain, suspended there for a few seconds before reporters
pulled him back.
Beltran barely batted an eye. He merely went on answering the questions. He was an All-Star, after all.
Nothing would stop him now.

Hendersonville's Cleary named T-N Player of the Week
Tue. September 03, 2013 at 7:06 p.m. | By Dean Hensley

Veteran Hendersonville High football coach B.J. Laughter has said it before: "The stables are empty."
Welcome the new horses.
After a tough defeat to a talented Asheville High team in the season opener two weeks ago, the Bearcats bounced back in a big way with a dominating 52-13 win over county-rival West Henderson last week.
Leading the way was one of the Bearcats' new horses that didn't look new at all: Quarterback Cole Cleary, who was last year's JV quarterback. Against the Falcons, he accounted for 463 yards of offense and five touchdowns (two rushing, three passing), which made him the clear choice to be this week's Times-News Prep Player of the Week. He ended the night with 198 yards rushing on 10 carries and 265 yards passing.
"It is a bigger task," Cleary said when asked about being the starting QB on the varsity squad. "The crowd doesn't affect me too much. I just try to stay focused on what I need to get done."
That's something Cleary's been doing since December of last year, Laughter said.
"From the very last game last year, Cole's been working on speed, strength and skill. He's really helped himself in the weight room. When I put him in the starting role, I wasn't worried at all, because I knew he'd do well," Laughter said. "He's a tenacious kid who's a student of the game. He works hard on and off the field and leads by example."
Up next for the Bearcats is a trip to East Henderson on Friday night in the annual county showdown.

CNHI News Service
TOPEKA, Kan. —
Planting Peace has waged a war against Westboro Baptist Church. It's weapon? A paintbrush.
The non-profit environmental conservation agency — which raises money for such endeavors as de-worming children in Haiti, according to its Facebook Page — has purchased a home in Topeka, Kan., across the street from the infamous church and painted it the colors of the gay pride flag.
Westboro is known to picket funerals of slain soldiers and other victims of tragedy and preach a message of hate against the gay community.
Members of the church picketed the funeral of Enid resident Chris Hake in 2008.
Planting Peace came across the property for sale on a whim of its founder, Aaron Jackson, when he was researching the church after seeing a young child countering the its homophobic message with a sign that read, "God Hates No One," according to the Huffington Post.
"I didn't know anything about the church or where they were located, but that story kept popping up. And one night I wondered, Where is this church? I got on Google Earth, and I was 'walking down the road,' and I did a 360 view. And I saw a 'For Sale' sign sitting in the front yard of a house. Right away it hit me, Oh my gosh, I could buy a house in front of the WBC! And immediately I thought: And I'm going to paint that thing the color of the pride flag."
Since the paint was applied to Equality House, the group has received a lot of honks from passing cars, the OK from the city of Topeka that it is not violating an ordinances, and thank-yous from a soldier who walked up to the door with a personal message, according to Planting Peace's Facebook Page.
"U.S. veterans keep coming to the door & thanking us. We are united against bigotry. Out of Many, Come One."
Organization officials also posted, "Shirley Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church just waved & said she loved the colors... So we all blew her kisses."

A State of Emergency is declared in the town of Flowery Branch, about 45 miles northeast of Atlanta and just north of Buford. It's not only due to the heavy amount of rain that's already fallen, but more rain that's still on the way. The city closed Cantrell Street where the road crosses Flowery Branch Creek. Crews are working on setting up a temporary bridge for Spring Street – which is deteriorating. Officials say there have been no other structural problems reported as of 5 a.m. Thursday.The State of Emergency is expected to stay in effect until further notice.
The weather problems started Wednesday afternoon when heavy rains flooded parts of Cobb County. On Church Street in Smyrna, a downed tree took out several power poles and left most of a neighborhood without electricity.Raging waters at Sope Creek brought County Commissioner Bob Ott out to check spots that are known to flood during severe weather. People living nearby say they're concerned about more flooding as the rain pours in Thursday.In Coweta County, just walking around proved tough in some areas where standing water covered streets. Driving proved just as difficult, too.Rain caused troubles for traffic, with the commute slowing to a crawl on I-285 in Cobb County Wednesday night. Local authorities are urging drivers to take it slow on the roads Thursday morning.

Frederic Fekkai Customer Reviewsalways come back to this..... - 8/20/2014 8:18:19 AM I have used this off and on over the years and I stray but always come back to this. it makes my hair shiny and smooth. you need very little so it lasts a long time.Like the discontinued spray so much better - 8/3/2014 3:27:35 PM Been using original hairspray for many years. Formula has definately changed and this new formula does not hold at all. Would looooooove to have the original spray again.Best Ever!!!! - 7/4/2014 10:30:09 AM I have very fine hair but a lot of it. It can get very dry. I have tried everything from TGIF, CHI, Drugstore Brands, ALTERNA, PAUL MITCHELL, WELLA, And many more. THIS IS THE BEST BRAND. I PROMISE YOUR HAIR SHOULD LOOK ITS BEST. It's not a voulmnizer but it always leaves my hair full and vibrant. Best brand ever ....any of it. I've only tried the shampoo and conditioners so that's all I can review. TRY IT.LOVE THIS!!!! - 5/20/2014 9:04:40 AM I have curly hair and straighten it almost every day. I'm addicted to this!! It makes my hair super soft. I don't enjoy dealing with the "dip" stick and I ended up pulling it out just be very careful not to take too much or your hair will be weighted down! PLEASE don't be discouraged by the dip stick! This is AMAZING!! I will be purchasing it for as long as they sell it!Horrible! Bring the old version back! - 5/18/2014 12:43:34 PM I have used the original version for 10+ years. The new version is NOTHING like the old. This is worse than cheap drugstore brand! It is so sticky and the scent is awful and overpowering. Do not order this, you will be sadly disappointed.Glad to see this back! - 4/21/2014 3:47:07 PM I used to use this once a week and for a year this product has been gone being reformulated. I cannot find a product that does a better job clarifying the hair than this! Smells great and your hair is gorgeous afterwards. I'm happy as a lark again!- 2/25/2014 4:58:47 AM This is the first Fekkai product I have tried. This made my hair really soft and shiny yet also gave it very subtle hold which I like because I never use hairspray or anything stiff on my hair. The one warning I would add is that very little product is needed and if you use too much it will make your hair greasy or wet looking. .Like, not love - 1/12/2014 11:24:14 AM This really makes your hair soft, but it didn't do much to help straighten my hair. I have naturally wavy hair and when using the ironless straightening products I still need to use a straightener.Amazing fragrance - 9/8/2013 6:26:10 PM I love this product. I use it with the prx shampoo and conditioner. I only use the conditioner twice a week or when my hair is going to be subjected to styling. It makes my hair feel absolutely amazing. And the smell drives men crazy. Everytime i wear it the words I hear are intoxicating, mesmerizing, irresistable. So I will never change my thermal protectant.FAAAAbulous - 9/8/2013 6:17:16 PM I bought this shampoo because I was on a hunt about a year ago looking for something to give my hair that shine, lightweight, soft, beautiful feel without having to use 20 different products. I'm lazy and I don't have time for all that. This shampoo is for lack of a better word amazing. I cannot rave about it enough. The very first use someone saw a difference. From then on I was hooked. I have very fine hair so what I have found is that if I only use the shampoo on normal days and then use the conditioner as well on days when my hair might be subjected to styling. Even if you dont style use the conditioner twice a week or so is still important non the less. Either way it doesnt weigh my hair down and my hair FLOWS like silk. I dont color my hair so I can't really say how it would do with colored hair. And if you follow up with the coiff before blow drying you are sure to have that "wanna throw my hair around" feel. Also, the smell drives men craaazy. Especially the coiff. So be careful ladies cause they will do a total 180 in the street when they walk past you to get your number ;)

I'm excited about this kid but his workload isn't sustainable. isnt he on pace to set a rookie record for touches? If we dont trust LGB to supplement him then give Ware a handful of carries each game.

New tech helps clubs spot talent
Bodley: Nats must be patient
Crean called Brewers general manager Doug Melvin in the days before baseball's First-Year Player Draft in support of Indiana right-hander Eric Arnett, who dabbled with Crean and the basketball team but really impressed with a solid baseball season in his junior year.The sell certainly didn't hurt. The Brewers spent their first pick in the Draft on Arnett, a 6-foot-6 power arm who went 26th overall on Day 1 of the three-day event. The Brewers owned six of the first 105 picks in their first Draft under amateur scouting director Bruce Seid and showed a preference for power, both on the mound and at the plate. Arnett went first, and Crean helped make it happen. "He's been awesome, calling people. I'm using him as a reference," Arnett said. Crean was a regular at Miller Park during his 10-year tenure at Marquette, where he rebuilt the program into a national power. He's trying to do the same at an Indiana program short on top players. So short that Arnett walked on and would have had a spot on the team if not for a scholarship technicality. Instead, he suited up as a practice player and traveled with the team throughout the season. He made a mark on Crean. "You know how Tom is. He gets pretty excited," Melvin said. "He said this is a great young individual who is very competitive on the basketball court and would be competitive on the baseball field, too. He grasps coaching and teaching, and that's important in our game because there is a lot of teaching, especially with pitching. "He's a recruiter, and Tom has always recruited good-makeup players and players who compete very well. You see the success he's had, and his job is very similar to what ours is. You want the best player available, someone who will listen and be coachable. It had a lot of merit to have Tom pick up the phone and call." Arnett became the first collegiate pitcher selected by the Brewers in the first round since Ben Sheets in 1999. He jumped to first-round consideration during his just-completed junior season at Indiana, where Arnett was named the Big Ten co-Pitcher of the Year after going 12-2 with a 2.50 ERA and six complete games. "This kid just blossomed this year," Seid said. "We didn't even know if he would get to us [at No. 26]."
Arnett, 21, throws a 93-95 mph fastball that can reach 97 mph, plus a hard slider, a changeup and a split-fingered fastball. Like many younger players, he's still working on his off-speed arsenal.But he threw consistently hard more often this season, one reason Arnett improved upon his 6.11 ERA as a freshman and 5.45 mark as a sophomore. He credits a new weight program he picked up from the basketball team. "I always had an arm that was pretty strong and [the velocity] was there every now and then," Arnett said. "This year it was consistent." Arnett was among the Draft prospects at Miller Park for a workout on Saturday, a group that included two other players who went to Milwaukee on Day 1 (second-rounder Max Walla and third rounder Josh Prince were the others). Arnett knew Milwaukee was interested, but Tuesday night still managed to test his nerves. "My stomach was getting pretty nervous as the picks went on," said Arnett, who watched with friends and family at a restaurant in his hometown of Pataskala, Ohio. "When I heard my name, it was probably one of the most incredible feelings I had in my life." Arnett was a three-sport athlete in high school and won 10 varsity letters in baseball, basketball and football. He played wide receiver and safety in football and forward in basketball. Asked to compare his game to current big leaguers, Arnett named a pair of relievers. In terms of size, he compares to Philadelphia's Ryan Madson. He believes his stuff is in the mold of Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon. "I compare to him with his mentality and everything," Arnett said. "I don't know if I have that look that he does. I don't know. I have a pretty good slider and hopefully I can work on the changeup a little more to perfect that and improve my split." At No. 26, the Brewers matched their latest first-round selection in the club's history. In 1993, they took left-hander Kelly Wunsch with the 26th pick, and while he pitched 258 games over six Major League seasons, none of them were with the Brewers. In 1983, the Brewers spent the 26th pick in the Draft on another lefty, Dan Plesac, who eventually became Milwaukee's closer and made three All-Star teams. Seid and Mike Farrell, the Brewers area scout responsible for Indiana, have until Aug. 17 to sign Arnett. No one expects the process to take too long. "I'm looking to sign as soon as possible, just to be able to work my way up to the Majors as fast as possible," Arnett said. He thinks the Brewers could make an offer within the next 10 days. "I'm a fairly signable guy," Arnett said. "I don't think it should take too long." A look at Milwaukee's other Day 1 selections: Compensation Round A -- Kentrail Davis, OF, University of Tennessee: Short by professional baseball standards (5-foot-9) and stout (200 pounds), Davis burst onto the scene last year as a freshman, when he led Tennessee with a .330 batting average, 68 hits, 13 home runs, 44 RBIs and a .435 on-base percentage. He got a bit pull-happy this year but still batted .308 with nine homers and 30 RBIs. Davis played center field for the Vols, but scouts cite his average throwing arm as one reason his future home could be in left. He is a left-handed hitter and a right-handed thrower, and was Draft-eligible as a sophomore because he turns 21 later this month. Compensation Round A -- Kyle Heckathorn, RHP, Kennesaw State University: It came as no surprise to see the Brewers jump on the 6-foot-6, 240 pounder, who, like Arnett, is a hard-thrower coming off his junior season in college. Club officials were not shy in the weeks leading up to the Draft in saying they were high on Heckathorn, who can reach 99 mph with his fastball but sits more comfortably in the 94-97 mph range and also features a hard slider. He was 4-1 with a 3.44 ERA and 98 strikeouts in 86 1/3 innings this season, including a 15-strikeout game. Like Davis, he turns 21 later this month. The Brewers will introduce him to their Minor League chain as a starter. Round 2 -- Max Walla, OF, Albuquerque (N.M.) Academy: Described in his MLB.com scouting report as an offense-first, defense-second hitter, Walla should fit right into an organization that has found homes for similarly-described players over the past 5-7 years. He's a 5-foot-11 left-handed hitter and thrower described as a "Brian Giles type" who fits in an outfield corner. Seid said he had the arm to play right field. "He caught my eye from way down the left-field line with his swing and his power," said Melvin, referring to Walla's showing at the Miller Park workout on Saturday. Round 2 -- Cameron Garfield, C, Murrieta Valley (Calif.) High School: After selecting collegiate players with their first three picks, the Brewers went with a pair of high schoolers in consecutive selections in the second round. Garfield, a right-handed hitter, has decent offensive skills and a plus throwing arm, but was limited to designated-hitter duties for much of his senior season because of an ankle injury. He played for a Brewers Area Code team, so they have known Garfield for some time. Round 3 -- Josh Prince, SS, Tulane University: Another college junior, Prince is a quality defender and runner who ranked among the nation's collegiate leaders with 43 stolen bases during Tulane's regular season. He led the Green Wave with a .342 batting average on the strength of 23 extra-base hits, including six home runs. Like Walla, Prince bolstered his case with a strong showing at Miller Park. "He was a guy that we really liked, but he separated himself," Seid said. "This kid was in a setting with guys who threw 94, 95, 96 [mph] and he handled that setting like a professional."

CNHI News Service
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Health department officials in a Lake Michigan county received about a dozen calls reporting illnesses consistent with exposure to raw sewage after children played in a public park's contaminated splash pad.
Reports of gastrointestinal illnesses and one rash complaint came from people who played in the water at Clinch Park in Traverse City, Mich., on June 29 and June 30.
City workers discovered June 30 at mid-morning that sewage backed up when a pump station failed and pushed raw sewage into an underground reservoir that feeds sprinklers for the splash pad, rain arc, and mister.
"We can't absolutely positively say they were caused by the splash pad, but all had symptoms consistent with exposure to raw sewage," said Rose Ann Davis, spokeswoman for the Grand Traverse County's health department.
Symptoms that could indicate exposure to raw sewage include rash, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, infections in open wounds, and jaundice, a yellowing of the eyes and skin which may indicated damage to the liver, health department officials said.
None of those who reported illness after using the splash pad required hospitalization, but the health department instructed people to keep a close eye on those who fell ill. Some of the illnesses that can develop from exposure to raw sewage may take up to two weeks to incubate.
"It's raw sewage, it ... can contain all sorts of things," Davis said.
Nicole Miller of Buckley said she believes splash pad contamination problems began before June 29. Her eight-year-old son began vomiting after he played in the splash pad for about three hours on June 27.
"I'm certain it was the splash pad," Miller said. "He was violently ill for six and a half hours, and we reported it to the health department the next day."
Miller said she went over other possible causes for her son's illness with health department officials and none of them fit.
But health department officials don't include Miller's son in their log of illnesses related to raw sewage contamination.
"We have no issues with the water on (June 27)," Davis said. "The water was tested (June 26) and (June 28) and there was no reason to believe it turned bad, then got good again."
City officials turned off the water feature after Clinch Park's grand reopening on June 25 because they'd obtained neither a construction permit nor a license to operate the splash pad. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality requires those approvals before such a facility may operate.
But DEQ officials informed city officials on June 27 they could reopen the water feature while they worked through the licensing and permit process. The DEQ's change of heart came after a telephone call from state Rep. Wayne Schmidt, a Traverse City Republican, a city official told the Traverse City Record-Eagle last week.
Lauren Vaughn, Traverse City's parks and recreation superintendent, said the splash pad's chlorine level tested a bit low when officials restarted the system on June 27, but proper chlorine levels quickly rebounded.
Vaughn said city officials test the chlorine level three times each day, and there was no indication of sewage contamination before the backup was discovered on June 30.
"There's just so many other possible avenues for these illnesses, it's hard to say what caused all of it," Vaughn said.
Miller contends city officials should have alerted the public to problems with permitting and when they realized contamination concerns had surfaced.
"Some kind of notice would have been nice to let the residents know there might be a problem with it," Miller said.

1 Cowgirl
319 S. Guadalupe St.
Cowgirl Karaoke's legacy has stretched for more than six years now and, for more than three of those years, it's been Michéle Leidig at the mic, hosting the busiest night at the bar. "I'm a singer without a band," Leidig says of her propensity for karaoke. In addition to the sweet $3 beer special, Monday nights bring out regular locals and visiting talent alike.
The community table of regulars that forms every night helps set the mood just as much as some of Cowgirl's more high-profile guests; Cowgirl Karaoke played host to the talents of Javier Bardem while he was filming No Country for Old Men, and Chris Kattan reportedly needs a few drinks in him before he'll bust out a tune or two. As rowdy as the crowd may get, Leidig keeps it positive.
"If I catch anyone heckling, I go over and say, 'We don't do that here.' I feel like a therapist!" Local musicians come by to let loose and career karaoke competitors bring their best game to the stage but, Leidig says, "Half the crowd that comes doesn't even sing." Perennial favorites include Love Shack, Bohemian Rhapsody and anything from the huge country repertoire, so get your performing clothes on and head downtown for a night of belting and beers.

Newest office trend downright touching
Last Updated: 11:26 November 26, 2012
The touch-enabled Windows 8 home screen will be a more common sight in workplaces. Swiping from the right side of the screen reveals the charms with system commands.
"It's more prevalent in the workplace," said Stuart Robertson, chief executive of Software Wholesale International, a Longmont-based software reseller. The company works with 8,000 clients across the United States, offering strategic business consulting around technology that helps clients decide what technology fits their needs and assisting in its implementation, Robertson said. The transition to touch matches the trajectory of the industry.
"The whole paradigm is changing — not just because people are changing but because it's just natural," Robertson said. He recalls recently reaching for the non-touch screen of his computer only to realize he had to go to the mouse.
An expectation of mobility, increased efficiency and stabilized cost also are driving an increase in touch computing for small and medium-sized businesses, he said. Robertson recently began using a Microsoft Surface tablet, which meshes nicely with the Windows 8 touch-enabled platform.
"The fact that I can be mobile anywhere is awesome," Robertson said. Using devices with differing platforms prevented a smooth transition from one device to another. With Windows 8 and more touch, that's changed.
"In the past it's not been available to me and what I was really able to do was consolidate my devices," he said.
On a recent trip there was less to carry, he said, meaning time savings through airport security and access to traditional Microsoft Office programs such as Word.
"I've been an Apple and iPad user in the past, but really for business solutions there's no comparison," Robertson said.
His company is also a licensed Microsoft reseller. For businesses using a Windows platform, it's been difficult to incorporate traditional Microsoft Office programs, such as Excel and Word, across mobile platforms with full access, he said. The new operating system allows easy synchronization of data for access while commuting, at the office or at home.
"People are so mobile these days," Robertson said. "They pretty much expect to work anytime, anywhere."
Jay Paulus, Microsoft Windows director of product marketing for small businesses, said consumer expectation and a desire for mobility and increased efficiency drove the decision to make Windows 8 touch-based.
Around the office, the mobility touch provides can improve efficiency, Paulus said, allowing employees to leave their desk and share work with co-workers rather than remain tethered to a desktop. Receptionists can approach customers instead of the other way around, managers can roam factory floors with tablet-style touch-screens in hand and easy to use while standing. Truck drivers can use a few quick swipes on a touch screen to check deliveries rather than taking the time to break out a laptop. Sales people use touch screens and tablets to take presentations out to prospective buyers, sitting beside them and interacting rather than formally presenting to a customer.
"And having people put their hands on stuff turns out to be a better sales tool," Paulus said.
The biggest challenge for businesses making the switch to touch — and particularly to Windows 8 — is the mental one, Paulus said. That's something with which David Fuess agrees.
"User adoption is usually the biggest challenge," said Fuess, president of Catapult Systems, an Austin, Texas-based Microsoft partner that helps companies nationwide integrate Microsoft technology. He helped start Catapult's Denver office four years ago and has worked with local companies such as Array BioPharma Inc. (Nasdaq: ARRY).
Proper training is the key to successful user adoption of touch technology. When Fuess helps a company transition to touch-computing, or another technology, his company places teachers at the business to assist employees while they make the switch.
The cost for switching to the touch-based Windows 8 system is similar to other comparable technology, said Robertson. Windows 8 Pro, designed for small businesses, is offered for around $40. Additionally, a variety of deals and special pricing for small and medium-sized businesses interested in transitioning to Windows 8 are available, Paulus said. The deals should last for the next few months.
Robertson sees many businesses using outdated technology that's close to the end of its life cycle. Making the change can enhance success, he said.
"If they are limping along on their current technology and feel stifled and feel stuck," he said, "it's a great time to move forward and to abandon technologies that aren't working anymore and upgrade to products that are going to help them be competitive and drive forward."

Paying for College
With college costs skyrocketing, many parents feel as though their college savings plan is on a tread mill and losing ground. Don't get discouraged. Every dollar you save and pay up front for tuition and expenses is $2 saved in student loan costs, so it's no time to slow down your savings. One thing you can do to relieve a little bit of the pressure is to look ahead to the options you have for paying for college expenses.
When you are approaching the three-year mark before your child enters college it is time to put a college payment plan into place. Here are some key tactics to consider while you continue to save for college.
- Look into a payment plan. Check with the colleges you are considering to see if they have a monthly payment plan. This would allow you to maintain control of your funds and keep them earning interest. If you are paying a portion of costs from current cash flow it can obviously help with budgeting.
- Look into scholarships. There is a whole universe of scholarships available for students of all ranks. Some students get scholarships just because their last name is Zolof. Check scholarship databanks (www.collegeboard.com), in your current regions, the region where you grew up, through your employers, and ask around. Start looking when your kid is freshman in high school and keep looking.
- File for financial aid. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fasa.ed.gov. to see if you are eligible for Pell Grants or Stafford Loans. Apply early. Also, be sure that your college savings accounts are in your name and not your kid's name.

For Some, Converting May Not Make Sense
Saving for Retirement
For Some, Converting May Not Make Sense
Due to tax benefits, many people have converted their conventional IRAs to Roth IRAs. Age can make or break an investor's ability to profit from a Roth IRA conversion. (Conversion can be attractive because withdrawals from Roth IRAs at retirement are tax-free, unlike conventional IRAs.) But before you do, consider your age: Roughly speaking it may take fifteen or even twenty years for the tax-free growth of a Roth IRA to make up for taxes you will pay when you convert.
Want a handy rule of thumb? If you're 55 or older, converting is a lot less likely to make sense especially if you plan to start withdrawing money from the account before you retire. Before you convert, have a financial professional run the numbers to make sure you understand both the positives and the potential negatives.

Pheasant hunting in Wisconsin is not like the hunting you have in South and North Dakota, but it ranks somewhere around the seventh or eighth state nationally in pheasant harvest.
The annual harvest numbers for wild pheasants in Wisconsin is between 200,000 and 250,000 birds. Wild or native pheasants had been just holding their own or declining in recent years, mainly due to the loss of much of the Federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) lands and the continued loss of habitat. Habit loss could be worse if it wasnt for the local, grassroots effort by the conservation minded organizations, like Pheasants Forever (PF).
The last decade of mild winters has helped the growth of native pheasants in some parts of south-west and south-central Wisconsin. There are now scattered pockets of wild pheasants in Rock, Green, Iowa, Lafayette, Walworth, Jefferson, Dane, Sauk, Columbia, Winnebago, Fond du Lac, Dodge, Price, and Rusk Counties. All of the above named counties have public hunting grounds and still some scattered areas of CRP, where you can find birds, if you put in your time knocking on doors and driving the country and back roads while looking for good cover.
The state of Wisconsin released over 52,000 birds this year, which is about normal. The state has over 70 public hunting grounds where they release pheasants throughout the season till the run out of birds which is usually in early December. The state stocking is over for the year, but if you go to public areas and hunt the marshes and thick cover you can still find pheasants. Few hunters are out now and there are still public hunting grounds where youll find birds if you do some walking and beat the bushes. The pheasant season is open till the 31st of December and hunters are still allowed to shoot two roosters per day. Check your 2012 Small Game Hunting book for other specific regulations and rules. You also are required to have a small game license and a pheasant stamp.

The month of December can provide some of the years best hunting if you dont mind colder weather and hard walking. But, the rewards of bagging a beautiful rooster, not to mention the exercise, are well worth it. Many of the stocked pheasants have been shot, but there still are roosters (as I said earlier) on public land in the hard to get at places, where most hunters wont go or on neighboring lands. Some of these spots may also require the hunter to wear waders or hip boots, but they will hold pheasants.
Some other factors that help add to the lure of December pheasant hunting are:
1. Most row crops have been harvested, so theres less cover for birds to hide in.
2. Most hunters have put their guns away for the year, which means little competition.
3. If theres snow on the ground (and there is), you can see if there have been pheasants where you are hunting and where theyve gone by following their tracks.
A few more suggestions;
Its better to hunt in small groups or alone because pheasants have seen and heard it all by now. Noise is associated with danger, so a quiet and stealth approach is mandatory for success.
Walk slowly and allow your dog to work scent. Walk and stop now and then because smart roosters will sit tight and often let the hunter walk by them.
Hunt the edges of cover instead of trying to cover big fields. I like to have my Labs work the heaviest cover that I can find for pheasants that would rather run than fly.
Isolated islands of cover, even if small, can hold pheasants in December. Cover is at a premium now, so try to hunt anything that looks birdy.
Get out early in the morning before sunrise to catch the birds feeding and picking grit on roadsides.
Hunting before weather fronts move in and during bad weather can be hot hunting!
Drive around the counties with good cover that Ive suggested and look for any CRP land or land enrolled in any government programs. Knock on doors and ask farmers and landowners if you can hunt their land. This isnt South Dakota, so you can often gain permission to hunt pheasants by just asking the owner. Finding any existing CRP land is still one of the single most important factors in late season hunting because there will be cover and food during the harsh winter months. Any corn or other crops left standing is a bonus and be sure to be quiet before starting to hunt these lands because roosters will be running the other way at the first truck door being slammed, any loud talking, and any yelling at your dog! Being quiet is of utmost importance if you want to harvest late season pheasants.
Dress warm and keep hunting till the end of the month. Youll be surprised at the birds you can harvest and how peaceful and productive a December day hunting pheasants can be!

USCIRF Issues its 2014 Annual Report
15th Anniversary Retrospective: Renewing the Commitment
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), an independent federal advisory body the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) created to monitor religious freedom abuses abroad, today released its 2014 Annual Report, and recommended that the State Department add eight more nations to its list of "countries of particular concern," defined under law as countries where particularly severe violations of religious freedom are tolerated or perpetrated: Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Vietnam.
USCIRF also recommended that the following eight countries be re-designated as "countries of particular concern," or CPCs: Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Uzbekistan.
View the 2014 Annual Report presentation at the National Endowment for Democracy below.
In December 2012, the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, in conjunction with the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and Amnesty International USA, launched the Defending Freedoms Project with the aim of supporting human rights and religious freedom throughout the world with a particular focus on prisoners of conscience.
Specifically, Members of Congress "adopt" prisoners of conscience, standing in solidarity with these brave men and women, while committing to advocate publicly for their release.
Click here to find more information on the Defending Freedoms Project.
Top Row: Agnes Uwimana Nkusi – Rwanda , Saeed Abedini – Iran, Father Nguyen Van Ly – Vietnam
Middle Row: Gao Zhisheng – China, Nabeel Rajab – Bahrain
Bottom Row: Mahvash Sabet – Iran, Asia Bibi – Pakistan, Dawit Issac – Eritrea.
Despite the June 2013 election of a new and purportedly moderate president, the already-poor religious freedom conditions in Iran have continued to deteriorate, particularly for religious minorities, especially Baha'is and Christian converts. Sufi and Sunni Muslims and dissenting Shi'a Muslims also faced harassment, arrests, and imprisonment. For more information, view the following:
In June 2014, USCIRF's then Chair Dr. Robert P. George testified before the Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations and the Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa, of the House Foreign Affairs Committee at a hearing entitled "One Year Under Rouhani: Iran's Abysmal Human Rights Record." From the testimony:
"President Rouhani has not delivered on his campaign promises of strengthening civil liberties for religious minorities. In fact, the number of Baha'is and Christians in prison for their faith increased over the past year."
In May 2014, USCIRF then Vice Chair Dr. Katrina Lantos Swett and then Chair Dr. Robert P. George wrote an op-ed: Iran's Forgotten Prisoners of Conscience, which appeared in the Wall Street Journal. From the op-ed:
"While all religious communities in Iran have suffered persecution since the 1979 Khomeinist revolution, none have fared worse than the Baha'is. The government has since killed more than 200 Baha'i leaders and removed more than 10,000 from government and university positions."
In April 2014, USCIRF released its 2014 Annual Report. Click here to read USCIRF's 2014 Annual Report chapter on Iran (English). Click here to read chapter in Farsi. From the report:
"The government of Iran continues to engage in systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom, including prolonged detention, torture, and executions based primarily or entirely upon the religion of the accused."

Post subject: Fedora 17 Live Disk caused PC to Re-Boot on Shutdown
Hi, sorry for being an old pain but first time reporting fault, bear with me please. I used Fedora 17 Live Disk and when I tried to close down the session could not find a "Shutdown" path similar to Ubuntu versions. So I clicked "Log-off (I am not 100% sure of exact wording) expecting to find another screen which would give me more detailed choice. Sadly there was not one. So I decided to give up and switched the XP PC off. It went off for a few seconds and immediately re-boots. I have found a temporary cure by holding Power button ON and forcing PC to switch off. This is my second bad experience on Linux Format disks the first one was a version of Ubuntu which screwed up PC altogether, my wife was & is NOT very pleased.I have found one suggestion about changing one setting in the registry as follows:-
Press (Windows Key)+R and type in regedit and hit enter. Locate the following key:
Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Double Click on "PowerdownAfterShutdown"
Change it to "0" if it is "1" OR
Change it to "1" if it is "0".
And hit Enter.
Mine is showing "0". I am not confident on carrying out this advice yet. Can anyone Help me please. I don't fancy a divorce at 70 years of age over a darn PC and Linux.
Would appreciate so,e suggestions please otherwise I'll have to consider giving up Linux (or at least Fedora), why does it NOT have a shutdown Button to closedown, like Ubuntu.

Yes, if you just ran Fedora from the live CD (without "installing to hard disk"), then taking out the disk and rebooting the machine should restore it to the exact same condition it was in before.
Also, Fedora does have a shutdown button, but it is hidden in a very stupid way. To get to the shutdown button, you have to hold down the ALT key as you look at the menu where you found the Log Out option. This is not your fault, but a terrible idea that somebody should have realised by now!
Hope that helps, let us know how you get on.

I did not install Fedora, I had enough of dual-boot installation when an update went completely wrong on me and prevented us having any PC at all for a fairly long while. so I have stuck with the live disk idea assuming that it would not create many problems, haha!
Not fully understanding how Linux actually works it seemed to me that the "Login" process of Fedora may make a change to the boot process. So I searched the internet and found the comment I stated about editing the registry. I did not mention that in fact another entry did say something about changing the BIOS. Here it is.
2nd example
This behavior may occur if Windows stops responding during a typical operation or during the shutdown process. By default, the computer is configured to automatically restart when Windows stops responding. To view this setting, follow these steps:
1.Click the Start button, right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
2.Under System Failure, view the Automatically restart check box. If the Automatically restart check box is selected, Windows automatically restarts if the computer stops unexpectedly.
The real problem for me is that at my age I am unable to follow all the full technical ins/outs of how Linux systems actually work at the nuts/bolts S/W level. How the Linux Fedora process actually interfaces with the PC BIOS on-off process will probably always be a mystery to me. I have, however used live disk installations for the past 2-3 years , mainly Ubuntu, and have had no troubles at all, this is the first. In some ways I just want to use them, not re-design them. When It gets me into bother with my good lady though that is a different matter altogether.The lack of a shutdown button seems illogical to an old-stager like me. Many thanks for your time and much needed help.

Did you reboot from Windows to load the Live DVD. I'm guessing that you had to switch on the PC in order to put the DVD in the DVD Drive and it booted to Windows before reading the DVD.
If that was the case then maybe there was a hiccup on rebooting the PC causing it to restart after switching off the PC with holding in the button ( which is safety feature to stop you accidentally switching off the PC by knocking the On/Off button ).
I can't see that switching off the PC as you did should have resulted in a system failure for Windows - Normally the
PC BIOS can be set to restart after say a power cut, I have mine set not to restart - might do some testing to see if just holding the power button in to switch off my PC would be enough for the BIOS to restart it.
Some of the new stuff in Ubuntu is illogic to me hence the reason I'm still using 10.04.

This surely has to be as stupid and irritating as the hidden Windows 8 shutdown option. However, I think we have to accept that operating systems these days are increasingly being designed for mobile touchscreen devices (always on or sleeping) and users of conventional desktop computers (of which I am most definitely one) are simply expected to like it or lump it. Hey-ho.
(I haven't tried Fedora recently so was unaware of this, but if I had run into this problem I think I would just have resorted to
shutdown -h now
in the terminal. Life's too short to spend hours googling trying to find solutions to problems which shouldn't be there in the first place.)

I am very sorry but I now remember that I missed out certain points on my original report, due to my very poor short-term memory. I have been thinking a little more about the actual process I used when the process went wrong. Most of the time for the Live Disk use of Linux Format dvd's I use a bent paper-clip as a pointer and put that into the DVD release-hole to get the drawer out and then put the required DVD in before powering up the PC. Obviously that then enables me to boot from DVD normally. Also, thinking more about the problem occurance, I now recall that [b]after [/b]having discovered the problem I found that when typing a Notepad file [for memory purposes] I discovered that the Keyboard was not correctly setup and was typing incorrect characters. So I used Google and I found that the default setup for Fedora 17 keyboard is set to the USA version of keyboard. So I wonder if the combination of the original problem of Clicking the "LOG-on/off" button, combined with the US keyboard may have caused the problem. Whatever it is (and it is still on now) must be connected. I used the live DVD setup and programs to play Sudoku and access the Internet for a couple of hours or so with no problems at all. The trouble only started after clicking the "Turn Off Computer Buttons, albeit with an American Code talking tthrough my keyboard? Does that issue ring any bells?
Many thanks for your valuable help, it is much appreciated
