NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – For most kids, playing on the playground is a great place to have fun and one of the best ways to learn how to interact with other kids. However, for the 1 in 68 kids with autism, playgrounds can cause stress. Autism can hinder a child's ability to socialize. Now research is showing how we can change that.

MONDAY, Sept. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Individuals living in networks with dense clusters of connections are more likely to adopt new health practices than are those in networks with many distant connections, according to a study in the Sept. 3 issue of Science.
Damon Centola, Ph.D., of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, ran a series of experiments using an Internet-based health community that he developed. He randomized 1,528 participants into two types of networks, including networks focused around long ties or distant connections (random networks) and those involving larger clusters of individuals. Study participants had anonymous online profiles and health interests and were matched with other participants who shared their interests.
Centola found that individuals in the cluster networks were more likely to register in the health forum than those in networks focused around long ties (54 versus 38 percent). In addition, individuals in the cluster networks adopted health practices four times faster than those in random networks. He also found that 15 percent of health forum participants with one friend in a forum returned to it. However, more than 30 percent of individuals with two friends in a forum returned to it, and over 40 percent with three friends in a forum returned to the forum.
"Individual adoption was much more likely when participants received social reinforcement from multiple neighbors in the social network," the author writes. "The behavior spread farther and faster across clustered-lattice networks than across corresponding random networks."

Chat with Phil Jackson
Jackson is just one of six coaches with over 1,000 wins.
Welcome to SportsNation! On Tuesday, we'll be celebrating this week's launch of ESPNLosAngeles.com with style befitting the City of Angels when Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson stops by to chat.
Jackson, one of the most successful coaches in NBA history, joins the chat just hours before his Lakers tip off Tuesday night against Oklahoma City. He won his 10th league title last season, breaking his tie with Red Auerbach for the most ever by a coach. Entering Tuesday's game, he has 1,063 wins, placing him fifth all-time. Jackson has also won over 70 percent of the games he's coached, the highest percentage in NBA history.
Jackson began his NBA coaching career in 1989 when he took control of the Chicago Bulls. He led the Michael Jordan-led team to two separate three-peats in an eight-year span. He left the Bulls following the 1997-98 season and joined the Lakers for the 1999-2000 season. He did not coach the Lakers in 2004-05, but returned to the team for '05-'06 and has been in L.A. ever since.
Send your questions now and join Jackson Tuesday as soon as the Lakers' shoot around finishes between noon-12:30 p.m. PT!
More ESPNLosAngeles.com: Index | Previous chats | SportsNation
Buzzmaster (2:56 PM)
Lakers' coach Phil Jackson will be by just as soon as his team is finished with its shootaround. We're hoping between 12-12:30 p.m. PT/3-3:30 p.m. ET!
Buzzmaster (3:19 PM)
Coach is here!
Paul Lin (Irvine,CA)
Describe the impact of Ron Artest on the team? Are you impressed by his defense? Many thought he would be a distraction to the team.
Phil Jackson (3:20 PM)
I think the record's kind of indicative of the difference he makes on this team. We think Ron's defense is good enough that he doesn't need help. We leave him alone on defense to play his own man. He's done a great job.
Umar (Pasadena)
Hey coach, you have been known to pass out a lot of books. What is your favorite book that most people wouldn't expect?
Phil Jackson (3:21 PM)
Owen Meaney. It's been a book that I've passed out a few times. It's about a height-challenged student at a private school.
Stephen C. Ramirez (Davenport,Ia)
What Does Coach Phil Jackson Want For Christmas Besides Beating Cleveland?

Edwin (Los Angeles, Ca)
hey phil.i know that pau just signed a lengthy extension and that kobe is going to be the next to follow with an extension.any ideas on how long you will be coaching for the lakers?
Phil Jackson (3:23 PM)
That hasn't been determined yet. We haven't discussed that. we're just going to let the season play out and go with what happens, happens.
Jason (L.A)
Do you think Andrew Bynum has the skill to be the best center in the league someday?
Phil Jackson (3:24 PM)
He could be one of the top scoring centers in the league. I think Andrew has that possibility. The area that he's working on are rebounding and defense. But scoring wise, he's really developed into a great scoring center.
Donald (Fort Smith AR)
Coach, Where did you originaly hear or come up with the Triangle offence?
Phil Jackson (3:25 PM)
When I was in college, my coach Bill Fitch, pretty famous NBA coach, won a championship with the Celtics, used that offense. It was prevalent. Tex Winter was coaching at Kansas State at the time and influenced a lot of coaches in the Midwest. When I came into the pros, I wasn't familiar with the name, but when I got to the pros, Bill Bradley pointed out that Tex Winter was coaching Houston and that they would probably run the Triangle. I knew about it 40 years ago, but didn't know the intricacies of it until I went to Chicago as an assistant coach and Tex was there.
John Gonzalez (Huntington Park)
Whats it like working with the 2 greatest players in NBA history(Michael and Kobe)
Phil Jackson (3:27 PM)
I don't think you can discount that Scottie Pippen is one of the top 50 players in the history of the NBA. So is Shaq O'Neal. To have those players to partner with is remarkable, for any great player to have a player with equal attention, dominance and abilities. I've been a very fortunate coach.
Brad (Gadsden,Alabama)
Phil, What is your favorite Christmas movie?
Phil Jackson (3:27 PM)
I like Holiday Inn for the music. And I like the Christmas Story for the plot and the humor.
Donald (Fort Smith AR)
Hey Coach, huge fan, Do you ever find yourself being supprised or impressed with something one of your players does on the court? You have been coaching for a while and had so much seccess over the years.
Phil Jackson (3:28 PM)
Yeah, I'm still enthusiasitc about special plays that happen over the course of the game, remarkable things that ball players are capable of doing. It could just be catching a ball, a wry ball or too hard of a pass. A lot of times it's defensive recoveries or reactions that make me impressed.
Donald (Fort Smith AR)
After all these years coaching at such a high level what are some factors that keep you motivated to continue to pushing foward?
Phil Jackson (3:30 PM)
Watching players come together from training camp through whatever playoff level we're able to get to that really makes this an interesting game. It's a tremendous unification of mind and body of players' abilities. At times you see players that can overcome adversity or an opponent may be too overwhelming. But all of those things are of interest and keep you motivated.
John Smith (NJ)
What do you think to yourself when people say the only reason your a good coach is because you had MJ and now you have Kobe?
Phil Jackson (3:30 PM)
I think they're right.
Michael (Chicago,IL)
Hi Phil, Do think Kobe has the change to be in the conversation along with Michael Jordan as the greatest player to ever play the game?
Phil Jackson (3:30 PM)
He does. He has to win a few more championships and he's going to be in that conversation.
Paul (San Diego CA)
Being around the league for as long as you have, how would you characterize what the league(NBA) has evolved into currently from where it was when you first entered as a rookie player? In the aspect of coaches, players and refs?
Phil Jackson (3:33 PM)
When I first came in the league, we didn't have a telephone directory for the NBA. There were just a few numbers to call 12 teams. You get them if you called up the yellow pages in the town you were at. Then we had a telephone directory and it was 6 pages long. Recently, they sent went out and it was 100-something pages. That tells you that worldwide there are so many numbers to call and the NBA teams themselves. When I first came into the league, there was a coach, a scout and a trainer. Now there are 6-10 scouts, 4 coaches along with GMs and assistant GMs. It's the pyramid theory of success. It's grown into an extremely big business. Due to the recession, the NBA is cutting back and we have to cut back some of those areas, just because of the way things are.
Jay Kharatian (Los Angeles)
Do you think the current Lakers team is better than your 1995-96 Chicago Bulls team?
Phil Jackson (3:35 PM)
Very good teams, obviously. Very pleased with the capabilities of both of those teams. The Chicago team had a lot of speed, but not a lot of size. Great rebounding in Dennis Rodman and really tall, angular wings in Jordan and Harper. There's a different makeup of teams, even though they run the same offenses. It would be a real interesting game to see those two teams, as different as they are but still run the same offense.
joe (La)
What are some things that the Lakers improve on as the season progresses.
Phil Jackson (3:36 PM)
We have to improve defensively almost every week, every month, until you reach a peak in playoff time. Our rebounding has to become better. We always start as a slow 3-point shooting team, but that gets better. I'm always harping on offensive rebounding. Many of the teams I've coached have been in the top 3-4 offensive rebouding, but this team hasn't done a good job even with the size that we have.
Phil Jackson (3:36 PM)
Thanks. I'm glad we were able to do this webchat. Hopefully we can do it again.

Sir Geoff Hurst will mark success of kids' football
Updated 2:10pm Friday 28th February 2014 in News By Beren Cross, @BerenCross
WORLD Cup winner Sir Geoff Hurst will be visiting Highworth Town Juniors next month in recognition of the success the football club has had both on and off the field.
Last May the club was recognised for its commitment to grassroots football and was named as FA and McDonald's Charter Standard Community Club of the Year for the south west, and made the national final of seven teams.
The governing body is now launching its fifth year of the awards with England's 1966 hat-trick hero taking part in a coaching session, passing on tips to players and coaches, and facing questions from parents and players on Saturday, March 15.
Club chairman Mark Collett said:"To be honest, I don't think many of the kids really understand who Sir Geoff is. He's a little before their time.
"From the older coaches and managers' point of view it will be a nice thing to have somebody of that time to come and visit the club.
"The managers and the coaches will pass on the message to the kids with how important a man he is."
The club's presence in the community cannot be underestimated, with a production line of talent taken in from the ages of four and five with teams to play in right the way up to 17 and 18-years-old, before making the transition to the senior team.
There is also an under-15 girls' side based at the club's home pitches in The Elms, as well as a disabled side for children with all types of disability.
There are currently 27 junior teams across both genders, a senior ladies' team and two adult men's teams.
The visit of Sir Geoff is effectively a second award from the FA following last year's prize. The club will benefit from the visit because it was one of last year's winners.
"It's basically down to the award recognition. They have decided Highworth is the place to visit and give us a little bit back for the work the club has put in," said Mark, 39.
"It's obviously really exciting. It's great that the football club is rewarded with this great honour."
A spokesperson for the FA said: "The awards aim to recognise and reward people across the country that make a difference to grassroots football in their local community – the people who dedicate their time to developing tomorrow's young talent and help ensure safety and best practice in tens of thousands of clubs up and down the country.
"The awards offer a chance to all those involved in grassroots football to shout about the person, or team of people that have made a real difference to their experience, while playing or just being involved in the beautiful game."

Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparities
While the need to address disparities in care is well known, few strategies for reducing disparities have been studied systematically.

Farm Bill Deal Pushed to 2014
Leaders of the House and Senate Farm Bill conference committee announced last week that a deal on reauthorization had not yet been finalized, though principal negotiators expect a vote on a compromise bill in January. Reports indicate that the final bill will include an approximately $8-$9 billion cut to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program over ten years—higher than the $4.5 billion included in a Senate-passed bill but significantly lower than the $40 billion approved by the House
USDA Awards Grants for Upgraded School Meal Service Equipment
The Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced an allocation of $11 million in grants yesterday for school districts to upgrade food service equipment to serve the healthier foods required by recently updated nutrition standards for school meals. Grants were awarded to 14 states and the District of Columbia based on free- and reduced-price participation in the National School Lunch Program—states will distribute the awards to local schools on a competitive basis, with preference to districts that serve a high percentage of children from low-income families.
House Bill Would Require White House, USDA Compliance with School Meals Standards
Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., introduced the School Nutrition Fairness Act last week, a bill that would require official meals and cafeteria offerings served by the White House and Department of Agriculture to adhere to recently updated nutrition standards for school meals. Earlier this year—in accordance with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans—USDA announced that it would remove all deep fryers from its cafeterias and establish healthy menu requirements with a new food vendor.
Michigan Bill Would Require Physical Education for K-8 Students
Michigan State Representative Matt Lori (R) introduced a bill last week (HB 5196) that would establish mandatory physical education standards for elementary and middle schools statewide. The bill would require at least 30 minutes of physical education for elementary school students twice a week for the entire school year, along with an additional 60 minutes per week of in-school physical activity. The bill would also require 45 minutes of physical education for middle school students every day for at least one full semester. It has been referred to the House education committee; Michigan's 2014 legislative session will begin in January.
Florida Bill Would Authorize Joint Use Agreements
Florida State Senator Aaron Bean (R) introduced a bill last week (SB 396) that would encourage school districts statewide to allow open recreation facilities for community use during non-school hours. The bill's findings section notes that "greater access to recreation and sports facilities is needed...to reduce the impact of obesity on personal health and health care expenditures." A companion bill (HB 277) was introduced in November; Florida's 2014 legislative session will begin in March.
Report: U.S. Schools Need Updated Kitchen Equipment
Only 1 in 10 school districts nationwide (12 percent) has all the kitchen equipment needed to serve healthy foods, according to a new report issued by the Kids' Safe and Healthful Foods (KSHF) Project. The report from KSHF—a collaboration between The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation—found that more than 85 percent of the school districts that reported having inadequate equipment are "making do" with a less-efficient process or workaround, while 55 percent of school districts need kitchen infrastructure changes, such as electrical upgrades, at one or more schools. The report recommends that school officials, policymakers, and communities work collaboratively to identify and implement strategies for meeting equipment, infrastructure, and training needs.
America's Health Rankings: Decline in Physical Inactivity, Level Obesity Rates
Physical inactivity levels dropped and adult obesity rates remained unchanged in 2013, according this year's edition of the America's Health Rankings. The report—a collaboration between the United Health Foundation, American Public Health Association, and Partnership for Prevention—noted that physical inactivity levels declined from 26.2 percent of adults in 2012 to 22.9 percent in 2013. The report also noted that the leveling off of adult obesity rates—reported earlier this year in the 2013 F as in Fat report—marks the first year that adult obesity rates did not increase since 1998.
Study: Children's Movies Glamorize Unhealthy Eating
Popular children's movies like "Happy Feet" and "Kung Fu Panda" glamorize unhealthy eating and physical inactivity, according to a report published in Obesity. Researchers from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Medicine analyzed the 20 top-grossing G- and PG-rated films released between 2006 and 2010; they found that 51 percent of food scenes featured unhealthy snacks, while 40 percent showed characters watching television.

Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller is "glad" he is getting another chance to fight Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic at GLORY 17 in Los Angeles, especially after a highly controversial, unanimous decision loss to the Croatian at the K-1 World Grand Prix quarter finals in Zagreb, Croatia, just last year.
"I take it for what it is," the Brooklyn, New York native said as a recent guest on Darce Side Radio.
"But, I should have never had a loss. I should still be undefeated right now. And we work hard. Before, it was a grudge fight between me and Cro Cop, it was a young fighter fighting an older fighter and this is what it is, we are going to do our jobs, but now it is a grudge match. Now it is something personal. We go in there risking our life day to day... putting our life on the line and then you try to jerk somebody and rob them. Now it's personal. I want to punch him and his manager in the face to tell you the truth."
In case you haven't noticed already, Miller is a bit outspoken and unafraid to talk with an unfiltered approach. The heavyweight who can fire words as quick as punches, was, of course, referring to the judges decision that evening, and how due to it being in Filipovic's hometown, accusations of favoritism began to circulate. Out of 22 kickboxing and Muay Thai fights and 10 boxing fights, that loss to "Cro Cop" in March of 2013 is the only one of Miller's career.
The former New Jersey Tiger of the Chuck Norris WCL divulged some of what he saw that week and said from "the moment he hopped off the plane" he felt he was going to have to "knock" Filipovic out in order to win that night.
"His team was in control of everything that happened at that K-1 in Croatia," said Milller. "People don't even see the thin line through a lot of this stuff that goes on behind closed doors. A lot of shady stuff with the physicals and I mean it was a lot of craziness I'll get into another time."
Since that fight, "Big Baby" turned his focus back to boxing, training out of the esteemed Gleason's Gym and winning five straight fights to improve his record to 9-0-1 with nine KO's. While the loss in Zagreb left a bad taste in his mouth, he said he "was planning on leaving after that fight anyway."
"After that loss I'm like 'I don't need to sit here and get jerked around in this sport,'" said Miller, who also mentioned he thinks he can become a heavyweight champion in boxing in the next two to three years. "'I got enough drama with boxing already and watching for snakes now I got to do it in kickboxing?'"
As fate would have it, the original opponent for "Cro Cop," Sergei Kharitonov, dropped out of the fight with an injury, leaving the door open for a possible second fight with Miller.
A rematch with "Cro Cop" is what Miller referred to as "the right entree" being served by GLORY after Kharitonov dropped out, and enticing enough to get the New Yorker to dust off his kickboxing arsenal on short notice for GLORY 17 on June 21st.
"I can't complain," Miller said about the limited preparation time. "I haven't had an injury since God knows when, knock on wood. I'm one of them kind of guys where whenever my body feels a certain way I know when to back up. If I'm in a grumpy mood and I feel like my body is hurting, I go get me a cup of ice cream, you know what I mean? I'm just that type of dude. When I feel better and my mood gets a little lighter, I go back to work. For a young guy I kind of know my body well and I know what to do and what not to do. No complaints, we are going to bang when the 21st comes."
The 21-1 kickboxer says he "loves the sport of kickboxing" and is "highly motivated" to face Filipovic for the second time, but beyond that he remains doubtful he will return to kickboxing after GLORY 17.
"I'll never say never to kickboxing, but after this fight I don't see anything that will intrigue me to come back," Miller stated. "You know what I'm trying to say? Even if it was a high payday, I'm like 'alright it's a payday, okay cool,' but it's not about the money all the time, it's about longevity, the career and getting the most out of it."
As for Filipovic, his career has pretty much already been written and it's certainly been a long one. In the Croatian's highly anticipated kickboxing return at GLORY 14 in Zagreb last March, he was on the losing side of a controversial decision to Remy Bonjasky. However, many experts and fans alike felt Filipovic was the rightful winner. The 39-year-old looked like he still had plenty left in the tank, landing solid punches, throwing his patented high kick and at times bullying Bonjasky during some of the clinches.
When asked if the decision not going "Cro Cop's" may be a bit of karma, Miller replied, "God don't like ugly. Do unto others as you would do unto yourself." And as far as the match up is concerned, the trash talking 25-year-old is the least bit worried about anything that Filipovic brings to the table.
"Man, not a damn thing concerns me about that old fart, he said, showing his sense of humor. "Plain and simple. I'm a fighter. I'm going to go in there and do what I do. I know what he is capable of doing."
"Sparks are going to fly and Cro Cop is going to drop," Miller predicted. "Guarantee you... I can tell you this right now, he is not going to stand toe-to-toe with me. Everybody knows that. He's going to try and run and throw his little whack-ass high kicks. I blocked all them kicks last time. He caught me with maybe one body kick and and that was it and a bunch of fucking headbutts. We know what's going to happen on June 21st. He knows what's going to happen, so, game on."
Miller explained during the interview that his nickname "Big Baby," was given to him by his first manager and he ultimately decided to keep it due to "good feed back from the females about it." He has come up with a pet name for his adversary: "Coco Cop."
"He's real name is Cro Cop but since he's jerking people around and headbutting, we are going to call him 'Coco Cop.' He's Coco Puffs. Don't be surprised if I throw a bunch of Coco Puffs cereal at his head. To me, right now, he's a fraud. That's how I feel and I'm going to expose his behind. He needs to retire now, plain and simple."
"Ain't nothing better than retiring an old legend bro," he continued. "'Who was his last fight against? Big Baby, he retired his ass.' That's the whole goal. That's what I'm training for. I don't care about the win, I want to knock his ass out and retire his ass. That's what I want to do. I know I'm going to win regardless. I'm going past. I'm thinking huge. I'm thinking big, extravagant, that's how I'm thinking."
Without question, this is the biggest fight in the still very-young career of the brash and wordy fighter. If you didn't know that, you'd get the feeling he's done it for years after speaking with him. Many will be seeing him fight for the first time at The Forum in Inglewood, California, on Saturday and live on Spike TV, and he can't wait to show the GLORY fans what he is all about.
"I had a couple of fights on MSG and SNY, but Spike TV is a whole other animal when it comes to network and promotion," Miller said. "This is the biggest fight, promotion wise, on TV that's going to be in America. Every fight I come to fight and I step up to the occasion and I never have butterflies. This is what I was born to do. This is what I like. I breathe, eat, and shit beating people up."

Did you know that some hairdressers actually have very sensitive skin on their hands? Apparently, many of them have this problem because they're in constant contact with chemicals such as ammonia on a long term basis. My ex-hairstylist has this problem and I know he has to take medication to curb the frequent flare-ups of eczema on his hands. So this is the reason why more salons are introducing ammonia-free permanent hair color. An example is Ecorganics I visited two weeks ago that uses a safer permanent hair color with Simply Organic Oil Emulsion Haircolor.

VMV Hypoallergenics Skin-Specialist: safe skin haven
I was pretty excited to learn that VMV Hypoallergenics Skin-Specialist Boutique has opened at ION Orchard. Although this is the first time I'm learning of VMV, this cosmeceutical brand with the world's only validated hypoallergenic rating system has actually been around for over 30 years since 1979. And given that a number of you have told me that you've got sensitive skin, I'm guessing that skin care solutions that are safe and boast of a rate of less than 0.1% reported reactions with a rating system that show the number of allergens absent might get your interest too.
Having my brows groomed at Browhaus in Paragon
I emerged from Browhaus, the brow salon, with the skin around my eyebrows all red and slightly sore but yet I can't wait to get my next treatment with them!

Because my eyebrows were hardy unruly, they weren't dramatically transformed but they look a lot neater without the stray hair strands, which were impossible to be tweezed out completely even with my trusty Tweezerman.

ArkLaTex organizations are stepping up to bring more homeless people in from the cold.
Representatives with the Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission say they've seen an increase in people looking for shelter during this recent cold snap. "When there's a sustained cold and it stays cold for a long period of time, then we see a great influx especially when the temperatures are extreme. If it's really hot, it's not quite as bad as when it's really cold. I think we're acclimated around here to the heat better," says Director of Development and Community Relations D.J. Hejtmanek. Hejtmanek say they've put out about 20 extra cots and chairs. There's also been an increase in meal sizes.
The family suites are all full at the mission, but there are still some open spots on the women's side of the shelter.
The mission is in need of winter clothing to give to homeless people who come to the escape the cold. " This time of year we always need cold weather clothing. We need coats. We need hats and gloves, especially large gloves for men. And we need pillows and blankets," says Hejtmanek.

Osho continues:
"The theory of relativity means that nothing is absolute, everything is relative, and there are exceptions everywhere.
"It is one thing that you may not be able to find the exception; that shows your limitation. Your instruments may not be yet refined enough to catch the exception. It does not prove anything about the absoluteness of any rule – only the limitations of human mind. The finer your instruments become, the finer your approach to reality, the more you are simply mystified: there are exceptions, and exceptions to everything. Nothing is absolute. After Albert Einstein nothing is absolute.
"This is something to rejoice in, because science was creating a world of dead rules, mechanical. The whole concept of pre-Einsteinian science was that the world is a vast mechanism – that it is not an organism, but a mechanism.
"A mechanism functions perfectly without any exceptions. It has no mind, how can it create exceptions? It simply goes on moving in the same rut. It never gets bored. It never feels to do something just for a change, something other than it has been doing always. There is no mind in it; hence, the machine can be absolute.
"But an organism, a living being, cannot be absolute. It is a free agent. If it follows a certain rule, that is its decision. It can drop out, it can just go in the opposite direction. Hence, science never said that the world is an organism, but a vast mechanism.
"But the theory of relativity disturbed the whole setup, and it has disturbed it forever. Never again will science be able to have the old certainty, because it has been found through the theory of relativity that as we go deeper into the inner world of the atom, a strange phenomenon is experienced.
"When we go inside the atom there are three divisions: the electron, the neutron, and the positron. It was thought that they must be following a set discipline, just as we find in every material thing. But strangely enough, they are very individualistic. Sometimes they behave in one way, sometimes they don't behave in the same way.
"And one thing that is of tremendous importance for you to remember is – it is just like when you are taking a bath, with the door closed, nude, enjoying the freedom of being alone, making faces before the mirror knowing that nobody is seeing you."

The hang glider pilot who was involved in a tragic accident in which a woman fell to her death was held in jail until a camera memory chip he swallowed passed through his system.
The pilot, 50-year-old William Orders, was arrested last Saturday after the accident. Video was also seized from the boyfriend of Lenami Godinez-Avila, who fell from her harness during the tandem flight and was seen trying to hold on to Orders before falling from the aircraft during a flight in Canada. Orders was charged with obstructing justice and withholding evidence.
The Globe and Mail newspaper reports that officials said Thursday that the chip was "no longer in his system." He was scheduled for a bail hearing Friday afternoon.
Mr. Orders' attorney said that his client was cooperating fully with investigators, who monitored the passage of the chip through his digestive tract with a series of X-rays.
It is unclear what kind of condition the chip would be in after passing through his system. Orders is described by the paper as a fully-certified hang-gliding pilot and instructor. He has been participating in the sport around the world for 16 years.
A member of the Hang-Gliders and Para-Gliders association of Canada told the paper he had spoken with Orders just after the accident occurred. Jason Warner said Orders had said he knew there were problems almost immediately after takeoff, and that he had "desperately" tried to hang on the the woman. She eventually lost her grip on Orders' legs, taking one of his shoes with him as she fell.

Tux3 File-System Gains Initial FSCK Implementation
Published on 28 January 2013 10:49 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
Linux Kernel
12 Comments
Tux3 file-system
has been
in development for years
while back on 1 January,
the file-system work was resurrected
. There's now an initial fsck implementation for Tux3.
Back on New Year's was when a status report came out that signaled the Tux3 file-system had advanced and was now more competitive with the EXT4 file-system. Less than one month later, there's now word of the initial fsck implementation for being able to fix the file-system in case of errors/problems.
The kernel mailing list announcement begins with, "Initial Tux3 fsck has landed. Things are moving right along in Tux3 land. Encouraged by our great initial benchmarks for in-cache workloads, we are now busy working through our to-do list to develop Tux3 the rest of the way into a functional filesystem that a sufficiently brave person could actually mount."
Tux3 developers have made it a goal to create an e2fsck-quality fsck for their file-system. Tux3 fsck uses a walker frame-work and will soon take advantage of their meta-data format checking methods and their walker framework was evolved from tux3graph, a graphical file-system structure dumper. "The walker is really sweet. You give it a few specialized methods and poof, you have an fsck. So far, we just check physical referential integrity: each block is either free or is referenced by exactly one pointer in the filesystem tree, possibly as part of a data extent. This check is done with the help of a 'shadow bitmap'. As we walk the tree, we mark off all referenced blocks in the shadow bitmap, complaining if already marked. At the end of that, the shadow file should be identical to the allocation bitmap inode. And more often than not, it is."
Tux3 fsck will continue to be heavily developed and is "not going to stay simple" and there's much more to come, per
the kernel mailing list message
