Anxiety disorders are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, yet are poorly studied. We examined the prevalence of anxiety disorders in PD, investigated the association between anxiety, and presentation and progression of PD, and studied for the first time the contribution of putative risk factors for anxiety in PD. A case-series of 79 PD patients recruited from neurology out-patient clinics was examined for anxiety disorders using the DSM-IV criteria. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale and the Hoehn and Yahr Staging of PD were employed to understand the relationship between anxiety disorders, and the clinical presentation and severity of PD. A validated survey assessed putative risk factors for anxiety in PD. Twenty-five percent of PD patients were diagnosed with anxiety. Panic disorder, generalised anxiety disorder and social phobia were prevalent anxiety disorders. Comorbid depression with anxiety was observed (14%). The severity but not the duration of PD was positively related to anxiety. PD patients with postural instability and gait dysfunction symptom clustering were more likely to experience anxiety than tremor-dominant patients. While levodopa dosage had no relationship to anxiety, experience of dyskinesias or on/off fluctuations increased the risk. Lateralisation of PD had no association with anxiety. Anxiety disorders decreased with age and young onset PD patients were more likely to experience anxiety than the late onset subjects. Anxiety adds to the complexity of PD, lowering patients' quality of life. Future research can be directed to identify reactive and organic nature of anxiety in PD. © 2010 Movement Disorder Society

While U.S. consumers are split over large-screen smartphones or phablets, short for phone-tablets, they're a huge deal in countries like Turkey and Indonesia.
Phablets have screen sizes of 5- to 7-inches, compared with the 4- to 5-inch displays of conventional smartphones. A global consumer survey by Accenture (NYSE:ACN) released Monday found especially strong demand for phablets in emerging countries.
Accenture polled 23,000 people in 23 countries about their preferences in consumer electronics. In the U.S., 40% of respondents indicated a preference to buy a phablet. In Germany, 30% of consumers favored phablets. Only 19% of respondents in Japan preferred a phablet.

In some developing markets, consumers had a strong preference for big-screen smartphones. In Turkey, 64% of respondents favored a phablet over a conventional smartphone. Following Turkey were Indonesia (61%), South Korea (51%), Russia and the United Arab Emirates (50%).
"The phablet screen size is hitting a sweet spot for a large percentage of consumers wanting more digitally connected lifestyles," David Sovie, managing director of Accenture's Communications, Media and Technology group, said in a statement.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is widely expected to debut a 5.5-inch iPhone 6 smartphone in the fall to compete with large Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Android-based handsets. Samsung's Android-based Galaxy S5 smartphone has a 5.1-inch display and its Galaxy Note 3 has a 5.7-inch display. Apple's current iPhone 5 series phones have 4-inch screens.

Windermere company scoops prestigious awards
Updated 9:22am Wednesday 12th March 2014 in News
A BUSINESS based in Windermere is celebrating after scooping two prestigious awards at a ceremony in London.
On February 26, at Battersea Evolution in London, Impact International was 'proud' to be named one of the UK's 2014 Best Workplaces in the annual Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies to Work for Awards.
They were also 'delighted' to be invited onto the stage to receive a special award for achieving ten consecutive years in the top 100 - something only two other organisations achieved this year.
David Williams, founder and CEO said: "It's been a fantastic year for Impact International - not only have we secured first place in the Great Places to Work Institute Awards, but we've now received a special accolade for achieving Times Top 100 company status for ten years.
"We are a values driven organisation and we have all worked hard to create a collaborative approach to work where people are highly engaged, are empowered to voice their ideas and thoughts and can positively influence the direction of the company, whatever their 'role' may be.
"After over 34 years in business it is my belief that it's our people and culture that have been the key ingredients to our success."
Impact will be celebrating these awards during Learnfest, their annual festival of learning in the Lake District on June 10 to June 12 which, this year, is themed around agility. For more information and to book a place go to http://www.learnfest.co.uk

Interpretation of a scene to extract high level content is one of the most fundamental capabilities of a human being. We routinely take this for granted, a fact that becomes evident when we attempt to teach a machine to accomplish the same task. When the machine in which this ability is incorporated is a mobile robot, it has the potential to be used in a wide variety of civilian and military applications such as fire fighting, enforcing perimeter security, bomb disposal, exploration, etc.
An important step in the process is to transform digital images, acquired via a camera, from pixel-based intensity values to a feature-based representation. These features can then be used by the robot to establish its location, track its position, and recognize an object. When the object is a lane line, its recognition is directly useful for road navigation.
The Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) is one promising technique that enables the extraction of key distinct features from the image. The advantage of this technique is that the extracted features are invariant to a variety of common practical image artifacts created by different viewing positions. For instance, an object might have a known shape but be smaller, it might appear to be rotated because the angle of approach is slightly different or perhaps the camera has been rotated, etc. The SIFT algorithm is even partially capable of dealing with a change in ambient illumination. In this work, we implement the SIFT algorithm and test it on a wide variety images to validate its performance in practical scenarios common to autonomous robot navigation.

The GP post is more an indictment on the mob^w justice system that all too often seems to presume guilt before evidence beyond a reasonable doubt is required.
It also goes both ways. You may need to login to these systems to identify yourself, but when doing so you'd sure hope your transport stream was completely protected from the owner of the router. Otherwise, you may find someone kicking down your door when you arrive back home.
Re:Cat blog (148 comments)
This is not just about protecting login credentials. The idea is that if your cat blog is ranked highly, many people will click on it. For sites like that, a DNS or other redirection hack allows me to impersonate your site with some drive by or otherwise downloadable malware.
TLS is about trusting the site your connecting with to actually be the site you think it is. So if your cat blog had a valid TLS certificate, then the impersonating site would need to obtain a fake certificate to avoid the client displaying an invalid certificate warning.
It also stops middleware proxies from listening to or interfering with/re-writing the data stream before it gets to you (ie. detailed browse history collection, advertising and/or spyware insertion, etc).
Re:Worse Than U Think (570 comments)
When considering 'worth', you forgot to factor in the value of a constant income stream. In economic terms, a person is cash-flow positive if their income exceeds their outgoings. Even though someone may have an instantaneous snapshot of wealth that is equal to or less than zero, they may still be cash-flow positive or neutral.
Business valuations are related to total potential revenue which may be far less than the outgoings for a start-up company. However, that company may still be valued at millions or billions of dollars if the earnings potential is non-zero, even though they are hugely negative on their balance sheet. Think Amazon back in the early days when it first started.
This is the same for a person. If that person dies, they may have zero direct assets at the time (or may even owe more money than they have assets), but you'll quickly realise they were 'worth' a lot more than zero as all the debts and other things that were being paid for suddenly cease to covered. At that point, cash-flow takes a huge negative hit and debt is accumulating in a way that it can no longer be repaid. That debt may be in the form of dependants that now must be paid for by someone else (or by the State), unsecured loans that must now be written off by the creditors, and other general outgoings that will stop.
Say I somehow take out an unsecured loan for a million dollars from a bank. I am now worth $1,000,000 to that bank. If I die straight away, they are out the million. As long as I'm alive and working, I can keep repaying the loan, and at 5%pa over 10 years I'll end up repaying the loan, plus an extra couple of hundred grand in interest. So if you ask the bank what I'm worth, they'll tell you I'm worth a lot more than zero, even if I took the money to Vegas and blew it all in the high-rollers lounge.
Re: Flash panic (161 comments)
I have to agree that buying something useful that you otherwise would not necessarily have bought in the first place is not a bad thing for either yourself or the economy as a whole.
Re:Flash panic (161 comments)
It encourages you to sign up for a loyalty card in the first place, otherwise you pay 'full price'. Once you have the loyalty card you start thinking about going to one of the shops that you are 'loyal' to rather than the corner shop down the street. (This may not be individually true for everyone, but on average that is how it works.)
This sort of 'discounting' is kind of like in industries without loyalty programs where there is an RRP and a much lower 'street price'. The shops don't actually expect people to pay the RRP (with the exception of someone that is either uninformed or desperate to buy a more difficult to source item immediately). But it does allow them a lot of 'discounting' and haggle margin to make the customers feel good about what they're paying.
Once the first few chain stores started doing this, the others followed suit. So now you have a sad state of affairs where the 'chain cartel' has a huge advantage when it comes to repeat customers. Your local corner store loses business and has to jack up their prices to pay the rent, causing even less customers to shop there. Less competition from small players. Big chain stores can get away with this because they always have one or two items that the other big chain stores don't and thus you end up signing up.
As a loyalty card holder, the retailers have far more detailed (marketable/mineable) information about you than they otherwise would have. Now they can run the numbers to see where its safe to jack up the price without losing customers.
With competition reduced, once a company has significant control over a market (either geographically or in a category segment), up go the prices to the maximum the market can afford.
So you may think you're getting a discount, but the discount is simply from an artificially inflated starting price. Or in some industries funded by the fact that you are now buying more than you otherwise needed to. It is all a numbers game. The big retail giants have increased profits year over year, so at no point have they been forced to release some of that profit back to either the suppliers by paying more, or to the consumers in the form of honest price reductions.
Re:Flash panic (161 comments)
The problem with most 'commercial experimentation' is that it isn't about getting better value for the consumer, but about how to to best convince the consumer to pay more for something, or buy something, that they otherwise would not have.
Loyalty cards are a way for a business to encourage a customer to return whether or not it is really in their best interest. Phone contracts, transaction 'fees' and 'licensing' are other ways to get people coming back for more of a beating. If you make the fine print and pricing structure too complicated to understand, while offering all sorts of shiny bling in the big print, marketers have found that they can significantly increase sales. Auto bank account debits are great in that the consumer starts to forget that they are continually paying for something, and may take a few extra months (and therefore payments) to cancel a service that they are no longer using - especially when you make it difficult to do.
Factory rebates are another example of sneaky marketing. They make it hard to claim the rebate, in some cases always 'losing' your first application, or finding something incorrect or incomplete in their overly complicated request form. In the end they pay out less than 1 in 5 rebates because most people give up trying to claim that $100. However, when buying the product the consumer factored in the rebate and probably avoided a more suitable competitor with a better more 'expensive' product.
All these techniques would have been arrived at by experimenting on consumers. It is simply about a business trying to get as close to the threshold of pain as possible to maximise profit. Too far and they go backwards - which is why they experiment on a small sample of their market before any large scale roll out.
Re:Switchin back to a Keyboard (544 comments)
Only twice as fast with "touch typing" vs a touch screen phone?
I'm easily at least 10 to 20x faster with touch typing on a bluetooth external keyboard than on the touch screen of my phone.
Anything smaller than about 2/3 size keys are too small for proper touch typing.
That being said, I only ever use the touch keyboard on the phone for short responses and scenarios where being able to type a few words at all is better than nothing. A friend has one of those fold-out bluetooth keyboard cases for his Samsung mega phone and loves it. After folding open, the keys are just big enough for real touch typing - he flies with that thing. His phone + keyboard case is about the same size as an old Palm Pilot.
Touch screen phone keyboards are a major compromise, but do provide a keyboard that takes up no space at all and is still quite useable when you're on the go. Especially when pocket space in the hipster skinny jeans is at a premium.
Re:Advantages? (146 comments)
How so?
A firewall can be set to block all incoming connections with a few inbound exceptions that the user requires (eg. port 22 on a particular box, and port 80 on another one).
The advantages are that the firewall no longer has to keep track of all NAT connections with the associated timeout issues, and that there will never be a network address collision issue when you connect via VPN from a remote network with the same subnet range. It also removes issues related to split-horizon DNS.
For certain corporate requirements and address aliasing, IPv6 can still be NATed where necessary.
But, for your bog standard user that just wants to 'feel safe' behind their firewall, there is really no difference in setup or maintenance complexity between NAT and a router with a default firewall setting of 'block all inbound connections'. UPNP/etc even works the same way to automatically open up a gaping hole whenever requested by a user application.
Re:Innovation patents are not true "patents" (36 comments)
The system is not so silly when you look at how it works in practice, http://www.ipaustralia.gov.au/...
The greater flexibility does not restrict innovation, and that should be the key test of it's usefulness.
This is because an "innovation patent" is not examined until it is challenged, at which point, the ones that don't meet patentability requirements will only be rejected at that point and not before. The duration of an Innovation Patent is also much shorter than a standard patent.
Re:This is scary (284 comments)
Right, but anesthesia or a wrench is not exactly the "kill switch" that this seems to be
More precisely, both are more likely to be actual 'kill switches' than this new method. In both general anaesthesia and the old wrench to the back of the head, there is a non-trivial likelihood that both will end in the recipients death. This new technique is theoretically attempting to target the required part of the brain with far more accuracy and less collateral damage than existing methods of rendering a person unconscious.
I perceive it more like a virtual machine suspend.
Re:Useless (235 comments)
It's not that the driver thinks it's a motorbike and gives extra consideration. It's that with multiple co-linear lights, a driver is far better able to judge how far away the cyclist is. As another poster noted, if a driver thinks you're a motorbike, they'll also assume you are travelling at or faster than the traffic flow.
On a bicycle, a single point source of super bright light will let a driver know that you're somewhere in that direction - while partially blinding them if you angle it up like I see done far too often.
Whereas, a wider (multi-element) lamp that isn't overly bright will let the driver's eye far better estimate and track how far away you are - while not blinding them to the other surrounds.
Re:Well, sort of. (109 comments)
There's also the off-peak hot water signals that are modulated on the line (at around 1kHz) in some places. Those signals are generated at the local substation. Their purpose is to activate various hot-water systems to load balance the area's power use. Where the final goal is to minimise the peak usage during 'peak' periods of use.
It is conceivable that if an 'interview' is made when that type of noise appears on the line, and that an accurate time reference is available, it may be possible to use this to narrow down the search region.
Still not going to pin-point a location, but could definitely narrow it down far better than just using the 60Hz line frequency. Which is far too narrow band to provide any useful information beyond what country you're in.
Re:Dislike function is positive reinforcement (293 comments)
The prediction of operant conditioning predicts that positive reinforcement will increase behavior and negative reinforcement will reduce behavior. The report is not contesting operant conditioning it is only determining what sort of reinforcement the like and dislike function provide; reporting that the like function of these sites actually has little or no reinforcement and that the dislike function has a positive reinforcement toward unwanted behavior. This shows that it would be appropriate to say that there could be some debate on the meaning of like and dislike functions and what some appropriate alternatives may be.
- Corbett Dehring
In addition to this, I'd suggest that trolling can be likened to bullying in the sense that the negative response of the victimised party (or group) encourages continued trolling behaviour. And negative in this context is really about the negative feelings of the reader being communicated through the use of the like/dislike up/down vote.
Without that communication or feedback, the trolling/teasing/bullying behaviour has no reinforcement path, and the troll/bully moves on to greener pastures.
What about devices with no RTC? (187 comments)
If a device does not have a way to keep track of time (eg. in built real time clock, with backup battery that will last for the duration of the device's 'lifetime'), then it becomes vulnerable to permanent denial of service when something spoofs a fake future date and time. What happens when a hundred thousand devices go offline because someone spoofed an NTP response?
You may as well force every device to have a kill switch and remotely shut it down when it's too old. At least that'll probably require some kind of public key signature from an authenticated service (in the same way you'd authenticate a remote firmware update).
What I'm trying to say is this is one of those 'management ideas' that sounds great in the philosophical sense, but fails in technical merit.

Re: Dangerous (490 comments)
No idea about your local regulations, but in most places cyclists are allowed to ride down the curb side of stationary vehicles. Especially so when there is a bike lane marked. Cars are only allowed to do this if the vehicle is stopped and indicating to turn left (or right in places that drive on the left side of the road). Many places also allow motorbikes to filter between lanes to get to the front when traffic is stopped at lights.
Naturally this maneuvers can be dangerous if the cyclist isn't paying attention to motorists that are also not paying attention.
Re: Dangerous (490 comments)
Being overtaken while riding through an intersection is usually far more dangerous than being overtaken further up the road where there are far less distractions for the driver doing the overtaking.

The number one obstacle I had to deal with is stupid legislative mandates that prevented me from crafting authentic lessons.

"Far and Away" with Tom Cruise has a good landrun scene at the end even though it's of the 1893 Chereokee Strip in northern Oklahoma, not the 1889 unassigned land run with present-day OKC.
Oklahoma was also almost split into white (Oklahoma) and Native American states (Cherokee), but obviously white people pushed against it.
My favorite historical actor from OKC is Roscoe Dunjee. He was the editor of the Oklahoma City Black Dispatch - one of the largest black newspapers in the country. There was hope that Oklahoma might provide a "promised land" for blacks fleeing the south and a lot of black towns were established in Oklahoma. However, upon statehood segregation was the first law on the books. Dunjee fought hard against it. Really brave stuff. I had an assignment at OU to chronicle WWII via a new sources and I chose the Black Dispatch. Man, I read those old papers on microfiche machines for hours. Incredibly interesting to read about WWII through the perspective of the black paper. That's the kind of stuff that college is all about. Never would have done that otherwise.
@SexyWatt Daily Thunder Been kayaking down there before and I've run down there quite a few times. Want to try that zip line.
@daft_drunk I was in middle school in Tulsa. Remember hearing about it and watching coverage at school. Crazy.
What history do you want to learn about?
@Stevitch McAdams @[weed wolf faction] Certainly some successful black people in OKC. Andrew Black is arguably the most well known chef in the city. John Pettis is maybe the fastest rising young politician in OKC and current councilman. Lots of artists like Jabee, etc, etc. Urban Roots is black-owned and one of the hippest restaurants in the core. C'mon, y'all. I don't even live in Oklahoma and I can name plenty of up-and-coming black contributors to the future of OKC.
@[weed wolf faction] @AlexR44 Under Armour own the Wizards. Damn.
@OBoy (LaFamilia) @KetelOne He so dumb. Obvi.
@ThunderChick2010 @Teh Ghost of Lamb I saw it in Vegas, but need to see the movie. Loved the show.
Pretty cool little documentary on OKC for anyone that doesn't know much about the city's recent growth: http://www.thecoolist.com/city-rising-okc/
@Julius F Wrek @[weed wolf faction] @FunakiEjectsAnother [#StartLambFaction] $8 million per year for a dude that fell out of the Bucks rotation. Yikes: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/bucks/oj-mayo-has-fallen-out-of-bucks-rotation-b99225386z1-250420951.html
@Sustainable Parameters @Half International Man of Mystery Half Amazing With the next CBA supposedly raising the cap/tax considerably... Reggie at $9 million could end up being a very good contract. I could live with $10 milllion per. He certainly shouldn't be making more than Kyle Lowry (4/48) so you'd think $10 per would get a deal done. My guess is that the Thunder would love to get him at $8 million.
Is there any way we get him locked up before the October deadline? I know there's not a lot of incentive for him (except injury) to do it earlier... I think he'll be more expensive after the season.
@Half International Man of Mystery Half Amazing 2 years of Tyreke Evans at over $10 million. I'd just re-sign Reggie, who I think is still improving.
@Julius F Wrek @FunakiEjectsAnother [#StartLambFaction] Career 38% shooter who could be available. Bad last year, but he was on the Bucks. Can't really count it.
@FunakiEjectsAnother [#StartLambFaction] We'd give them picks. That's what the Suns would want and they'd take Perk.
@Duckface.gif I think the fact that it's his last year makes it more likely they trade him.
Going through the league trying to envision a trade at the deadline involving Perk and there's not much, but what about Perk, a future 1st, and 2nd rounder for Gerald Green if no one pans out at shooting guard. Would we have to include more?
This is of course assuming it doesn't look like the Suns will make the playoffs or re-sign Green.
Trade: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=o6rtc9v
@FunakiEjectsAnother [#StartLambFaction] I'm not sure a future 1st gets it done though.
Here are our assets that I think we'd have to consider some combination of in addition to Perk's expiring that are realistic and have value (for example, I don't think Roberson has any trade value as of now): Lamb, PJ3, Abrines, Pleiss, likely late 1st future round pick (low value).
We'd have to give up something of value for the Pacers to consider it.
@shiki @Grolgar @FunakiEjectsAnother [#StartLambFaction] I ran the trade and posted above....
Trade: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=klpg5jw
If the Pacers decided to blow it up, this trade puts us $1.6 million over the tax line. Is it worth it? Hollinger's model says we'd lose a win... can someone explain that? Doesn't seem right.
We'd have to throw in a pick or Pleiss probably. And, unfortunately, unless we're willing to part with Nick (which probably makes basketball sense) then we couldn't stay under the cap.
@[weed wolf faction] Given an opening in the defense, I envision him being able to finish better than Thabo... at least long term. Thabo was often indecisive when there were lanes to the basket. I'm hoping Roberson could be better. That's all I meant by slashing....
@JustPlainNASTY @Julius F Wrek Oh gawd. I heard Isiah Thomas' analysis. Worse than looking into Medussa's eyes.
@FunakiEjectsAnother [#StartLambFaction] I don't follow. You think Roberson will break out because he will be a horrible 3 point shooter regardless?
@Julius F Wrek @Grolgar Man. I felt really good about PJ3 in summer league. He just looked confident and he'd figured out a role. I hope he bounces back quick from surgery.
@FunakiEjectsAnother [#StartLambFaction] That would add $5 million of salary and for two seasons? Hibbert is paid $15 million per. We'd have to dump other players too... or go into the tax.
I think going into the tax for 2 seasons of Hibbert would be worth it. We'd become clear favorites I think.
Who is more likely to have a breakout season... Roberson or Lamb?
Maybe it's just summer, but I'm starting to envision Roberson as a better Thabo whose slashing ability/athleticism could potentially offset his lack of shooting.
Maybe I'm dreaming. Dude is a 60% free throw shooter...
@Old Man Game I think the Thunder really like to focus in on guys that do one thing well with late picks... hoping they can develop other parts of their game. I think they're hoping Huestis' defense translates and he can develop a three point shot. At least that's my best guess.
@Sustainable Parameters What guaranteed "good" players are available at the end of the first round? The answer: none. It's a total crapshoot at that point. Just look at previous drafts. We took the guy we wanted long term.
I don't get it either because Huestis is old already. But we'll see...
@FunakiEjectsAnother [#StartLambFaction] @Sustainable Parameters Just getting rid of Thabeet would have allowed us to do just that.
@FunakiEjectsAnother [#StartLambFaction] I'd put free throws last. Adams offense is almost a bonus for our team from the center position (thanks for lowering expectations, Perk)... But we need him to be viable on the defensive end. I agree DRPG needs to improve.

Windows 8 Messaging App Issues
Is anyone else having issues with the Windows 8 Messaging App?
It's been several times when I get this error that says "We can't send a message right now" and not even restarting my PC will fix it. I had to uninstall the app, restart my PC and then reinstall.
The last time this solution lasted for a whole 14 days and then it started to act up again. I managed to get it to work by simply restarting, but then it started not getting notifications of new messages. I had to go back to the app for the new messages to come in.
I'm a big MS fan, but this is really annoying. It's such a simple app and it just won't work properly. It's so unreliable that I finally uninstalled it (along with Mail, People and Calendar) and didn't bother to reinstall.

Oddisee - You Know Who You Are (Acoustic)
Artist: Oddisee
Producer: Olivier Daysoul (on Guitar)
Album: People Hear What They See
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 7 total votes )
I swear this Hip-Hop thing continues to impress me. Oddisee is the latest artist to add to the growing population of lyrical geniuses residing outside of the box and really making it work. With an acoustic rendition of his ultra-personal song You Know Who You Are, the DMV native collaborates with DC soul singer Olivier Daysoul. The cut is featured on Oddisee's newly released album People Hear What They See, the latest for Diamond District/Mello Music Group emcee and producer. Coming off the success of several underground mixtapes and collaborations (mostly with Kev Brown's Low Budget crew) Oddisee proves that he's able to hold his own with the likes of Wyclef and Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def), both of whom have created successful acoustic renditions that turned into a conversation piece. If you haven't already, grab up People Hear What They See, available for purchase now, and stay tuned for more from Oddisee.

Studio furnished apartment in Le Marais - Notre Dame - Hôtel de Ville, Paris [PA-3983]
Studio Apartment in Île Saint-Louis, Le Marais - Notre Dame - Hôtel de Ville (PA-3983)
Located on the main street of Ile Saint-Louis, this studio apartment sits on a magnificent and historic island included in the 4th arrondissement of Paris. Connected to the main land of Paris by bridges, Ile Saint-Louis is one of two natural islands in the Seine River. Here you will literally be in the center of Paris, with your choice to explore the Left and Right banks of the Seine!
Situated on Rue Saint-Louis en l'ile just off the intersection of the Pont Marie, the studio resides on the 2nd floor (considered 3rd in U.S.) of a four-story walk-up building dating back to the 19th century. For privacy assurance and guest access, a digital security system is in place.
Upon entry into the intimate abode, a hallway leads to the main room. Fully-furnished with eclectic accessories, this room has a vintage feel with rustic wide-plank hardwood floors and exposed wood ceiling beams. Here you will find a queen-sized sofa bed for sitting or sleeping near two large, floor-to-ceiling windows. These windows allow natural sunlight to illuminate the room and fresh air to circulate the apartment, looking onto the charming street of the island. There is a flat-screen cable television for relaxing or catching up on the world news. A small bistro-style table sits near the kitchen-area, and there is a narrow closet for hanging clothes here as well.
Young and fun with bright red-and-grey tiled walls, this compact open kitchen provides a warm environment to start your day. Amenities include a microwave, coffeemaker, and small refrigerator, as well as two electric burners.
There will be no lack of attractions to visit near this apartment, and a convenient metro station is situated just across the bridge on the right bank of the city. Listed below are a few of the must-see sights:
- Notre Dame Cathedral: Lovers of architecture cannot miss this brilliant gothic cathedral, located on the other island in the Seine, the Ile de la Cité, a short walk across the Pont Saint-Louis
- Le Marais: Discover one of the city's oldest and most stunning quarters, with its many galleries and shops, as well as the Pompidou Center, Europe's largest modern art museum (about 1.5 km or approx. 1 mile from the apartment, also accessible part-way via metro)
- Hotel de Ville: This gorgeous structure houses the City of Paris's administration and is situated off the right bank of the Seine (800 meters or .5 mile from the apartment)
- St-Gervais St-Protais Church: This breathtaking gothic structure holds the oldest organs in Paris. Located on Rue de Barres
- Berthillon Ice Cream: On your way back to the apartment, stop by Berthillion Ice Cream for a real treat. Located just down the street from the apartment! There is also a pharmacy and bakery around the corner from the building for everyday needs.
For public transportation around the city, walk to the Pont Marie metro station to catch the 7 Line, just 900m/0.5mi away. This line snakes along the right bank, crossing to the left, facilitating transit throughout Paris.

The best way to injure yourself on the slopes is to turn up unfit," says Dr Craig McLean, a ski injury expert, when summing up the importance of preparing for a winter-sports holiday. And yet, while most of us thoroughly research flights, transfers, equipment rental and accommodation for our mountain break, few give thought to whether we are physically fit and prepared to ski or snowboard.
As Warren Smith, one of Britain's leading professional freeskiers and a certified coach and instructor, explains: "The importance of preparing for the slopes before you start skiing or riding is paramount, particularly for people who ski only one or two weeks a year. By optimising your strength and flexibility before you hit the slopes, you can help avoid injury and dramatically improve your stamina and technique."
With the festive period all but over, snow falling across the Alps and North America, and some great deals to be had, 2011 is shaping up to be a great winter for skiers. Below we suggests some ways to ensure you are in equally great shape to make the most of it.
Guides to the 50 top ski resorts in Europe and North America
The boots
Equipping yourself with the right ski boots is a fundamental part of preparation. Without them, you will be uncomfortable and unable to achieve your optimum skiing performance, and you will risk injury. At the Profeet shop in London, a dedicated team of specialists offers two-hour custom boot fitting sessions. These include foot pressure mapping, biomechanical and postural alignment analysis, advice on choice of boot, shell modification and boot alignment and the creation of heat-moulded custom insoles.
Adjustments are made to the boot to align it with the lower leg for even balance on the skis and a customised "skier's edge" simulator is used to analyse your turning technique, transition and tracking of the knees. You will also receive a bespoke exercise regime to target your specific trouble areas and a lifetime boot care programme.
- A Profeet custom boot fitting costs £149.95; ski boots costs extra (020 7736 0046; www.profeet.co.uk).
Warren Smith's skiing tips for your return to the slopes: How to rediscover old highs
The body MOT
At the Putney Chiropractic Centre, McLean has played an integral role in the training and improvement of Graham Bell, Konrad Bartelski and Warren Smith, among others. He advises skiers and boarders to have a full assessment of their range of motion, and flexibility and neuromuscular deficiencies, to determine muscle and core strength, and body- and spatial-awareness problems.
A tailored programme is subsequently created, combining chiropractic treatment, ski-specific exercises and alignment correction to tackle common problems such as unequal turning, "back-seat" skiing and early leg burn.
McLean has also created a series of exercises to build flexibility, strength and stability and has made them available on his website. He suggests cycling as an excellent way to get fit.
"Whether you buy a bike to commute to work, get off the Tube early and grab a Boris Bike for the last few miles, or join a spinning class at your gym, you'll reap the benefits when you swap pedals for skis," he says.
An assessment and postural x-ray at the Putney Chiropractic Centre costs £125 (020 8785 6144; www.putneychiropractic.co.uk/ski).
The kick-start
The Grove, a five-star country-house hotel in Hertfordshire, is offering three "Avant Ski" long weekends this month. The weekends begin with a day of bespoke exercise classes at the hotel's Sequoia Spa, designed to help strengthen the muscles used in skiing and snowboarding.
The second day is spent perfecting technique on the (artificial) slopes, under the guidance of qualified instructors at Hemel Hempstead's Snow Centre, before indulging in a traditional Alpine supper at the Grove. The final morning is spent doing gentle Pilates before returning home and booking your winter holiday with renewed confidence.
- The Grove (01923 296010; www.thegrove.co.uk) offers Avant Ski Weekends from £495pp, including two nights' full board, fitness classes and a day of ski school at Hemel Hempstead. Dates: January 7-9, 14-16 and 28-30.
The workout
Virgin Active gyms have teamed up with Lesley McKenna, a professional snowboarder, to create the Roxy Sno Fit Workout, a dedicated winter-sports exercise class.
Offered in Virgin Active gyms across the country, the new workout focuses on the key areas essential for winter sports – legs, hips, bottom and core. Classes are fast-moving and diverse, incorporating a dynamic warm-up, power moves, stretching and a yoga warm-down.
- The Roxy Sno Fit Workout is available to members in Virgin Active Health Clubs (www.virginactive.co.uk)
The knowledge
Having a basic awareness of mountain safety is essential for all mountain users, and particularly for the increasing number of skiers and riders heading off piste for powder thrills. The Ski Club of Great Britain has teamed up with Henry Schniewind, an expert on avalanches, to offer a series of talks on mountain safety and avalanche awareness in Ellis Brigham shops across Britain this winter.
Introductory talks will cover basic safety off piste; advanced talks are suitable for those familiar with off-piste skiing. Ski Club members receive a discount on all talks, in addition to access to resort reviews, discounts on holiday bookings, ski rental and car hire, and information on all elements of winter sports.
- Avalanche-awareness advice is available on www.henrysavalanchetalk.com. Talks are every Tuesday evening at Dick's Tea Bar in Val d'Isère and cost £7 (£6 for Ski Club members). Annual Ski Club membership costs £56 for an individual and £87 for a family (0845 458 0780; www.skiclub.co.uk).
The transition
Based in Verbier, Chilali Massage offers physiotherapy and sports- massage treatments, yoga and pilates training and fitness retreats. The brainchild of Penney Megginson and Rosie de Glanville, both qualified pilates instructors and sports-massage therapists, the company is working with a local yoga instructor this winter to offer "Skilates Retreats".
The weekend and week-long retreats will take place in Verbier, and use pilates and biomechanical analysis to address muscle imbalances that hinder performance and increase the risk of injury. Time is also spent on the mountain, with the guidance of a ski instructor trained in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) – a set of psychological techniques developed to explore how people's beliefs and thinking govern their behaviour patterns – to overcome mental barriers to technical improvement following injury or arising from fear of heights and speed.
- Chilali Massage offers week-long retreats this month that cost £2,095, including tuition and six nights' catered chalet accommodation (0041 79 621 1499; www.chilalimassage.com).

Reports and papers
By Lee Smith, IRB Regional Development Manager for Oceania.
The development of rugby in Oceania covers the whole spectrum, from the sophistication and large playing numbers of Australia and New Zealand to unions such as Guam and Niue, whose playing numbers are the same as the average size club in the previous two mentioned unions.
The anomaly lies in the fact that the people of the Pacific unions have a natural affinity for the game of rugby and can play it very well, especially with the ball in hand, so no matter what their size, they are all punching above their weight, and I don't mean this literally.
Of the 11 unions, five have qualified for the finals tournament at RWC and at least six will qualify for the finals tournament at RWC sevens. This makes the region proportionally the most successful and important rugby region in the world.
With the exceptions of Australia and New Zealand, development in the Pacific is impeded not only by small playing numbers, but also the problem of distance.
This is something that people elsewhere in the world do not appreciate. From Auckland to Brisbane is as far as Dublin to Athens. The Cook Islands cover a sea area larger than Europe, but the total land area would fit inside Lake Taupo, New Zealand's largest lake, which is in the middle of the North Island.
Because of these small numbers direct communication by air between unions is infrequent and often non-existent, so that air travellers have to fly on either one or two days a week, or they must pass through New Zealand or Australia on their way. This of course increases travel costs and is aggravated by the third world status of some union's economies and the low standard of living of many of their citizens when measured within the cash economy.
It is for this reason that talented Pacific Island players seek to improve themselves financially by obtaining contracts offshore. Given the state of their own economies their expectations are at least initially very low, making them "cheap buys" for overseas clubs.
This means that on a per-head basis many players can be recruited from the islands for the same outlay as one or two from elsewhere. Care must be taken to ensure that provision is made for life after rugby, especially when the professional opportunity could well be very short lived for a number of reasons.
Practically, the enthusiasm for Rugby in the islands exceeds the enthusiasm anywhere else in the world. Playing numbers can be misleading because everyone plays at a level to suit their ability and their age. The game is firmly knitted into the fabric of their societies, especially in Polynesia and Fiji.
In the past development programmes have enjoyed many "new dawns" with programmes having impact on those directly involved during the visit, but leaving behind only enthusiasm and no development pathway.
It is the IRB's intention to create this pathway by returning to maintain momentum and ensure progress two to three times each year. The aim is not just to present but to make demands of those attending courses to apply their knowledge to their players and their teams in order to achieve recognized qualifications.
To achieve this the IRB is most thankful to Australia and New Zealand, who have made available sufficient trainers in both coaching and refereeing to allocate one in each area to each of the unions. It is these people facilitating development in partnership with the Island unions that will lead to sustainable development.
However, it must be made very clear that it is very much a partnership with these unions, and that development is not welfare. Consequently, both trainers and unions must contribute to and follow a mutually agreed development plan, with the unions keeping the plan on track year after year.
Given the potential that exists under the present circumstances and the many excellent players produced, there would seem to be no limit to the results that such a programme will produce. It is just a matter of effort.
The help that the IRB gives each union is both financial and in kind and the extent to which it can be delivered is only limited by the determination of the unions to succeed.
Before long regional competitions at all levels and both in 15's and 7's, as a regional incentive and an incentive to qualify for world competitions, will provide an opportunity for the results of this development to be shown as a measure of what this potential really is.

Children gardening in Boston community vegetable garden – circa 1900
Elizabeth Peabody House
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Children gardening in the community vegetable garden at the corner of Charles and Poplar Street, near the Elizabeth Peabody House in Boston's West End neighborhood.
Five more wonderful photos of the children on the next page.
The Elizabeth Peabody House represents the late Elizabeth Palmer Peabody (1804-1894) who devoted her long and full life to the expression of idealism in a variety of forms. Greatly admired by some of her contemporaries as a model of passionate commitment, sympathy, and learning, Miss Peabody worked unceasingly toward the improvement of society. She was a teacher and educational reformer, founder of the kindergarten in America, abolitionist, friend of political refugees, advocate of Native American rights and education, of woman's suffrage, and of world peace.
See The Elizabeth Peabody House website here. And visit their history page.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Love the invitation and the fact that you can customize it so easily. The wording and colors can be changed in any way to fit exactly what you want. Awesome product!!"
"I am very happy with my invitation purchase from wedding paper divas. I was shocked that I was able to customize almost anything I wanted with the invitation. I had a lot of changes that I wanted to make and they were able to make just about every single one of them, from the wording on the invitation to the colors."
"We customized text and color to reflect who are are and we love them. Highly recommend if you are using the invite, reply card and insert that you ask Wedding Paper Divas to give you a size 11 envelope vs a size 10 - the size 10 are packed so tightly they are shredding when people open them which means i am worried they will lose parts of the invite."
"Personalization of the card was so simple and customer service worked with me on any questions I had. Everyone that recieved an invite has called to say how much they love them and I can tell you it wasn't because of what I did with them, it was all Wedding Paper Divas! The paper is thick and printing quality is top notch!"
"I loved the modern look of this card. We personalized it with the colors of our wedding (purple and green), they even matched the pms color. They looked great and we received a lot of nice comments about them."

King Louie's Traverse offers some of the best jug-hauling at Cactus cliff. Unfortunately the steep jugs only last for ~10 feet, but it's a fun few moves and worth the effort. Above the climbing deteriorates into easy scrambling to an awkward mantle on dirty slopers to reach the anchor.
The far right end of King Louie's Ledge, on the right side of a small cirque above the approach gully.
~6 bolts to 2 BA. A stick clip is recommended. The route traverses a lot at the start, so a groundfall is a real possibility. Be sure your belayer is attentive.

The New Science of Babies and Brains
November 14, 2011
Editor's Note: This post is part of a series further exploring "The Two Year Window," my feature story on babies, the brain, and poverty that appears in the new issue of TNR. Click here to access all of the supplemental material. Kids who grow up amid adversity, particularly the kind associated with poverty, are more likely to have trouble in school, to fare more poorly in the workforce, and to engage in a variety of behaviors that will be destructive to themselves or to others.
The Two Year Window
November 09, 2011
A decade ago, a neuroscientist named Charles Nelson traveled to Bucharest to visit Romania's infamous orphanages. There, he saw a child whose brain had swelled to the size of a basketball because of an untreated infection and a malnourished one-year-old no bigger than a newborn. But what has stayed with him ever since was the eerie quiet of the infant wards. "It would be dead silent, all of [the babies] sitting on their backs and staring at the ceiling," says Nelson, who is now at Harvard.

I read about the shotgun barrel length.here 200 us and federal background checks.6months or more.
Does it have to have a full length stock? Couldn't tell by the pic.be nice to have some commonality between borders in a good way wouldn't it? Nice lupara btw!
The Lupara is just a Norinco coach gun. I think they are common in the US, the only difference is the cut off barrels.
Mick Said "What about if you bought it at a gunshow?"
Nope same thing Mick. You need the license from the BATF.
I have heard the only way you could get around that , if I am not mistaken, is to buy an antique (made prior to 1899?) that was in that original configuration. A good while back they were selling antique (civil war type) percussion shotguns with 13 inch barrels . At the time BATF did not have a problem with it.
And there are also state laws one may run afoul of.
I always wanted one of those "Mad Max " guns but the paper chase just wasn't worth it.
LOL! One word. Don't. You ever hear the car ads on tv at the end when some voice comes on (mumble) all taxes and restrictions apply (mumble mumble)! Called entrapment but gets done. Easier than hunting down a gang banger.catch some poor do ofus that doesn't know the law.
Wow, we seem to have quite an array of transfer fees. If I read correctly 10 -50 dollars (which would be 20-100 on an interstate 2 private party 01 transaction).
Mick you ever watch the godfather movies? Term came from Sicily sawed barrels sawed stock.very Mafioso.south west Texas guy I hope you took that young man shooting today and he enjoyed the feeling of freedom here. Let me know. I've helped a lot of kids get involved in the sport of just plinking they just end up out shooting me!
Seriously Mick minimum shotgun barrel length in most states 18in.some 20in.at one point West Virginia was 22in.I read recently you can't hunt deer in Ohio with a centerfirerifle just a shotgun.in the eastern part of Virginia its shotgun but western Virginia center fire rifle is ok.screwy wherever you go. You just have to be informed and so many people aren't. Sad.

Jack Marshall | March 24, 2011 | Comments
Commissioner insists do-not-track is not approved by FTC, blames media and FTC public relations for confusion.
The FTC has not endorsed a do-not-track mechanism for online advertising and data collection, nor has such a concept been properly vetted for feasibility, according to FTC Commissioner J. Thomas Rosch.
In an opinion piece published by AdAge today, the commissioner wrote, "The concept of do-not-track has not been endorsed by the commission or, in my judgment, even properly vetted yet... Indeed, far from endorsing the staff's do-not-track proposal, one other commissioner has called it premature."
Despite that, Rosch described a number of limitations associated with the do-not-track proposal, in his view, including the technical feasibility of such an approach around which doubts have already been voiced.
"In my concurring statement to the preliminary staff report, I said I would support a do-not-track mechanism if it were 'technically feasible." By that I meant that it needed to have a number of attributes that had not yet been demonstrated. That is still true, in my judgment," he wrote. http://www.ftc.gov/os/2010/12/101201privacyreport.pdf
The FTC's own director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection, David Vladeck, told House lawmakers in December, "We've learned from our technologists that do-not-track is a feasible technology... Browsers could be programmed to send a do-not-track signal as users browse the Internet."
According to Rosch, the proposals outlined in the FTC's preliminary report could have major implications on the U.S. Internet economy, as voiced repeatedly by industry itself since December. "Not only could consumers potentially lose access to free content on specific websites, I fear that the aggregate effect of widespread adoption by consumers of overly broad do-not-track mechanisms might be the reduction of free content, free applications and innovation across the entire Internet economy," he stated in the Ad Age column.
In addition, Rosch addressed the underlying issue of what exactly "tracking" involves, both from a consumer perspective and that of the digital media industry itself, suggesting the "do-not-track" label on such a tool could be potentially misleading. "There is no consensus on what 'tracking' means. In fact, I don't know precisely what it means," he wrote.
In a December interview with ClickZ News, FTC chief technologist Edward Felten said, "The system as currently envisioned would not apply to ordinary first party tracking or to a first party's use of a service provider for website analytics, assuming the service provider makes no additional use of the collected data. It is important to note that what the FTC is discussing is a consumer choice mechanism, not a blanket ban on tracking."
Finally, capping what appears to be a pro-business approach to the matter, Rosch suggested the inappropriate application of a do-not-track mechanism could jeopardize competition in the online advertising space. For example, companies that rely less on data-driven advertising might be at an unfair advantage. An example of such a company might be Google, which generates the majority of its revenue selling contextually and keyword-based relevant ads based on search terms, rather than user data.

John Dingell leaving an 'obnoxious' Congress -- after six decades
For many politicians partaking of this retirement season, the stated reasons for leaving have reeked of the common excuse that has someone leaving a job to spend more time with his — or most of the time, her -- family. Touching, maybe, but comes off a bit insincere.

Let's learn together about Edgar Allan Poe and his work. 29
A Descent into the Maelström is an 1841 short story by Edgar Allan Poe. In the tale, a man recounts how he survived a shipwreck and a whirlpool. It has been grouped with Poe's tales of ratiocination and also labeled an early form of science fiction.
Edit by me | Please dont remove anything | For more here
Inspired by the Moskstraumen, it is couched as a story within a story, a tale told at the summit of a mountain climb in Lofoten, Norway. The story is told by an old man who reveals that he only appears old —"You suppose me a very old man," he says, "but I am not. It took less than a single day to change these hairs from a jetty black to white, to weaken my limbs, and to unstring my nerves." The narrator, convinced by the power of the whirlpools he sees in the ocean beyond, is then told of the "old" man's fishing trip with his two brothers a few years ago. Driven by "the most terrible hurricane that ever came out of the heavens", their ship was caught in the vortex. One brother was pulled into the waves; the other was driven mad by the horror of the spectacle, and drowned as the ship was pulled under. At first the narrator only saw hideous terror in the spectacle. In a moment of revelation, he saw that the Maelström is a beautiful and awesome creation. Observing how objects around him were pulled into it, he deduced that "the larger the bodies, the more rapid their descent" and that spherical-shaped objects were pulled in the fastest. Unlike his brother, he abandoned ship and held on to a cylindrical barrel until he was saved several hours later. The old man tells the story to the narrator without any hope that the narrator will believe it.

Theme: Accelerate
Managua, Nicaragua
September 6th, 2013
Watch video from the event
About this event
Following the direction of past year's theme, Momentum, we decided it would be appropriate to choose Accelerate for TEDxManagua 2013.
When one has broken inertia, obtained motion and found rhythm, it is important to find the direction you want to go and accelerate!
Our speakers included a journalistscaptured three times in three different wars (andad even battled addiction all the way into Abu Grhaib), to an entrepreneur proposing to uniting Central America economically and culturally. We heard from a National Geographic fellow talk about Faith, Science, and Japanese Virgins, as well as an innovative Nicaraguan and his new Audio-QR code technology.
The event welcomed 650 people, of which 300 received free admission as they were from developing communities across the countries.
We featured a "Before I die I want to" wall, which was huge success. Members of the press waited outside the halls of the movie theater to interview speakers and guests alike.
It was a great day for TEDxManagua, and we concluded the event with a great desire to do more.
