Since fiscal year 1997, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has relied primarily on its 21 health care networks to allocate resources to its medical centers. VA headquarters also directly allocates some resources to the medical centers. In addition, medical centers collect resources from third-party insurance payments and other sources. VA provides general guidance to\ networks for resource allocation to medical centers, but permits variation in networks' allocation methodologies. Representatives from veterans groups and others have expressed concerns regarding resource allocations to medical centers in Network 9 (Nashville) known as the Mid South Healthcare Network. GAO was asked to report for fiscal year 2002 (1) the amount of resources medical centers in the network received and the source of those resources and (2) the basis on which medical centers in the network received these resources. GAO was also asked to supplement findings for fiscal year 2002 with information for fiscal years 1997 through 2003.
The six medical centers in Network 9 (Nashville), known as the Mid South Healthcare Network, received a total of about $1 billion in resources in fiscal year 2002. The network allocated 83 percent of the total, or $825 million, to its medical centers. The medical centers received smaller amounts from VA headquarters (9 percent of the total or about $93 million) and resources from collections (7 percent of the total or about $73 million). As in fiscal year 2002, the network allocated more than 80 percent of medical center resources each year from fiscal years 1997 through fiscal year 2003. Medical centers in Network 9 (Nashville) received about 77 percent of their resources, or $760 million, in fiscal year 2002 based on fixed-per-patient amounts, referred to as fixed-capitation amounts, for patient workload and case mix. Patient workload is the number of patients treated, and case mix is a classification of patients into categories based on health care needs and related costs. The largest portion of these resources allocated on this basis came from the network while a smaller portion came from VA headquarters. Medical centers in the network received about 23 percent of their total resources, or $232 million, in fiscal year 2002 based on a variety of other factors such as network managers' determination of the financial needs of medical centers during the course of the year. These resources came from the network, VA headquarters, and collections. Since VA changed its resource allocation system in fiscal year 1997, the medical centers in the network received about the same portions of their resources based on fixed capitation amounts and on a variety of other factors each year from fiscal years 1997 through 2003. VA agreed with GAO's findings.

7 Moments That Will Make You Want To Gay Marry Judge Richard Posner: PHOTOS
Yesterday, the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals heard two cases challenging same-sex marriage bans in Indiana and Wisconsin. There was a lot of speculation as to who would be on the three judge panel that would hear the case. Not long before the hearing began, we found out: Judges Ann Claire Williams, David Hamilton and Richard Posner. Williams and Hamilton were Clinton and Obama nominees respectively and were widely thought to be favorable to pro-equality arguments. Judge Posner, a Reagan nominee, was something of a wild-card. Though as our own Ari Ezra Waldman pointed out in his pre-hearing analysis, Judge Posner does not always "toe a socially conservative line," having "been sympathetic to the pro-choice movement." However, few could have imagined how incredible Judge Posner's performance during the hearing would be. And while the 7th Circuit still has to deliver its decision, it is safe to say that Judge Posner has won his way into many a gay's heart.

Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner: 'I'm getting into country music'
Frontman also confirms that 'Black Treacle' will be the band's next single
Speaking to Australian newspaper Central Queensland News, Turner said that while he had taken a lot of lyrical inspiration from country music for the band's recent record, he could not see himself ever writing a country track.
Asked about his inspirations for 'Suck It And See', the frontman replied:
I started getting into country music which is something I've never gone anywhere near until quite recently, like I never understood it before. I know I'm never going to write a country tune, that just wouldn't work, but for that reason I can draw something from it. They're really sort of smart arses sometimes those guys, like George Jones and that kind of thing. The sound doesn't speak to me but the lyrics do.
Turner also spoke about the band's future recording plans, revealing that they will be recording a brand new track as the B-side to new single 'Black Treacle', which will come out next year
He said of this: "'Black Treacle', the single we're releasing next year, we're recording a B-side for that. It's a little bit more rock'n'roll. A lot of the album was more mellow. Since we put that out the songs we've been doing are a reaction to that. The new ones are a little bit more friendly. I quite like going in to do sessions just for B-sides. It's a holiday for us. There's no pressure."
The singer also spoke about the band's approach to recording 'Suck It And See' and said that he believed it combined elements from each of their three previous albums. He also dismissed the idea that it was "more mature" than their past efforts.
He added: "It has elements of all three [previous albums] in it really. I think it has some of the sense of humour the first record had, and a bit of the darkness of the third. I don't know if I'd say it was more mature."

The invention relates to a diagnostic method and to marker substances which enable manipulations in endogenic marking to be detected and thus prevented. According to the invention, a metabolizable substance is added to non-metabolizable marker substances, said metabolizable substance revealing a manipulation when detected in excreta.
1. A method for determining improper manipulation of a urine sample by a test subject during testing, wherein prior to providing the sample, the subject is administered marker substances PEG (polyethylene glycols) that are only slightly metabolizable or are non-metabolizable and thus detectable in urine. comprising:
administering to the test subject, at the same time and in addition to the PEG marker substances, a metabolizable substance comprising at least one of a derivative of benzoic acid or 4-hydroxy-benzoic acid, that can be detected in the same chromatogram with the non-metabolizable PEG marker substances and that, after metabolism, is no longer detectable iii the sample in which the marker substances are analyzed;
collecting a urine sample from the test subject; and
analyzing the urine sample with chromatography, wherein the detection of the metabolizable substance in the urine sample demonstrates improper manipulation by the test subject.
2. The method of
The present invention relates to marker substances and their application in diagnostic methods.
Methadone and heroin programmes have been introduced for the treatment of drug-addicted patients. Test subjects taking part in them are forbidden to consume other illegal drugs and narcotics, and strict checks on additional consumption by urine tests are prescribed by law. Above all, the additional use of opiates and cocaine must be known in order to estimate the substitution requirement (S. T. Charmack et al., Drug Alcohol Depend 59 (2000) 43-49). Continuous additional drug use endangers the treatment goal of complete drugs abstinence, which includes the avoidance of acute withdrawal symptoms, the prevention of opiate-associated deaths, reduction of the infection risk with HIV and hepatitis viruses, protection of the population against drug supply criminality, rehabilitation and occupational reintegration. Above all, due to the increasing incidence of methadone-associated deaths (Commissioners of the Federal Government. Addiction and Drugs Report 2001. Federal Ministry for Family and Health, Berlin, April 2002), evidence of frequent additional use may lead to legally prescribed exclusion from the relevant substitution programme [Federal Medical and Health Insurance Commission: Guidelines of the Federal Medical and Health Insurance Commission on Substitution-Supported Treatment of Opiate Addicted Persons. Cologne 1999). Therefore there exists great interest on the part of drug-addicted persons to achieve falsely negative results from urine drug analysis. Normally, this can be achieved by excessive drinking for the purpose of strongly diluting the urine, by mixing in pre-analysis disrupter substances with a high falsification potential (S. L. Mikkelsen et al., Clin. Chem. 34 (1988) 2333-2336) or by substituting commercially available methadone-containing but drug-free urine for the subject's own urine. Each new drug testing method is immediately met by countermeasures from the drug world. The competition between the underworld and analytical testing is chronicled and can be followed in publications such as the periodical �High Times�. One aim of drugs testing consists in recognising these imaginative and well-informed falsification and deception tactics and, if possible, to render them ineffective.
DE 101 12470 A1 describes a method for endogenous marking of mammals which is intended to enable unambiguous association of a bodily fluid�a secretion, a tissue sample or an excrement sample�with one individual. It consists in the oral or parenteral administration of only slightly or non-metabolisable substances and their subsequent analytical identification as such or in the form of its metabolites in the above sample materials. This concept has proved highly successful in routine clinical practice with polyethylene glycol (PEG) markers for monitoring drug-dependent test subjects undergoing methadone-substitution treatment. The subjects drink 100 ml of the methadone drink solution with marker substances added and provide their urine after a waiting time in the range of 30 min to 60 min. This is then centrifuged and analysed for Nucleosil C18, 3 μm, 125 mm�4.6 mm ID with a methanol-water mixture (44%/56%) using high pressure liquid chromatography at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. Sample preparation is undertaken automatically on-line using column switching to nucleosil C18 5 μm, 60 mm�4.6 mm ID, characterising of the markers in the eluate being carried out with refractive index detection (RID).
This method of endogenous marking is also susceptible to manipulation. It is rendered ineffective by subjects taking methadone as an out-patient in that they spit remains of the drink solution into drug-free urine, or squeeze out a cotton wool swab soaked in the mouth with drink solution into abused-drug-free urine.
This is the point at which the invention comes into use. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a diagnostic method and marker substances used with it, by means of which manipulation may be discovered by means of endogenous marking. These should advantageously represent no added burden for the patient and also involve no additional costs for materials and personnel.
This aim is met through the diagnostic method according to claim 1 and the marker substances given in the subclaims.
In the method according to the invention, whereby a marker substance is administered to a test subject, said marker substance being identifiable in a bodily excretion, a metabolisable substance is additionally administered to the test subject.
Marker substances additionally administered to the test subject metabolise in the body such that they are no longer present in bodily excretions, such as urine. If the test subject should attempt to manipulate the allocation by spitting into the urine, the marker substance may be demonstrated there, such that a manipulation may be reliably prevented. For this reason, the term �spit marker� is an appropriate characterisation.
If metabolisable substances are mixed into the drink solution as spit markers which are not normally present in the urine, their presence there makes a falsification attempt reliably recognisable.
DE 101 12470 A1 mentions that samples may be taken from saliva. But the sample removal described there serves to identify illegally consumed substances and the allocation of the sample to an individual and cannot provide evidence of intended deception with regard to sample allocation.
Ideal spit markers are metabolisable substances which are permitted as additives in foods and pharmaceuticals. Following oral consumption, they are normally not present intact in the urine. An attempt at deception with regard to the analysis result is apparent if the substance used as a �spit marker� is found in the urine during marker analysis.
Advantageous spit marker substances are readily soluble in the drink solution. They have no pharmacological effect in the required concentrations, no evident colour and no strong flavour. During chromatography, they behave similarly to the other PEG markers.
Suitable spit marker substances are readily identifiable in the analysis and detection processes established in clinical chemical laboratories.
Possible spit marker substances are all the benzoic acid and 4-hydrdoxybenzoic acid derivatives, in particular their alkyl esters, acetic acid esters, fatty acid esters, lactic acid esters and tartaric acid esters of glycerol, propylene glycol esters of the fatty acids, monoglycerides and diglycerides of the edible fatty acids, sugar esters of the fatty acids, butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene, hexamethylene tetramine, amino acids, amino acid esters and all xanthine derivatives. Preferred marker substances are the Nipa esters methyl-, ethyl- and propyl-4-hydroxybenzoate permitted as preservatives. The methadone drink solution has to be preserved and if the above preservatives are used, no additional loading of the test subjects and no additional costs arise. Of the above preservatives, methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (MHB) is the most suitable, since the chromatographic properties of this substance are very similar to those of the PEG markers. Elution takes place from the column together with the PEG markers and additional analysis steps are not necessary.
Methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate, also known as methylparaben and Nipagin-M�, is registered under the number E 218 as a food and pharmaceuticals additive (in the Rote Liste [�Red List�]). It is used, above all, for the preserving of pharmaceutical preparations such as eye drops, ointments and emulsions and, due to its low toxicity, is registered for the preserving of foods.
Apart from their use in methadone clinics, �spit markers� may also be used for endogenous marking in all areas of human and veterinary medicine where there exists a dishonest motivation to hide the origin of samples and in which the possibility exists of contaminating samples with the marker substance. All the groups of people given in the published application DE 101 12470 A1 who are prepared to practice deception may be checked in this manner. Examples are doping monitoring in high performance sports and in animal competitions, monitoring of road traffic and passenger transport, monitoring of continued drug freedom for renewal of a driving licence, employment examinations (Reagan decree), personnel medical examinations and veterinary check-ups.
Analysis of the spit markers takes place within the context of endogenous marking together with PEG markers by means of high pressure liquid chromatography and subsequent RI detection. Methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate has only a small refractive index, but an adequate absorption coefficient at 256 nm. If a UV detector is arranged in series with the RI detector, the loading of test subjects may be reduced by a factor of >10. All the marker signals in the chromatogramme are evaluated by means of the retention times determined from standard and reference chromatogrammes.
By means of an example, it will be explained how, when endogenous marking is used, attempts at deception are prevented.
100 ml methadone drink solution containing 1-3 g PEG marker mixture and preserved with 0.01% (10 mg/100 ml) methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate is administered to a test subject. The analysis is carried out according to the regulations contained in the published application DE 101 12470 A1. After 30-60 minutes, the test subject provides some urine. The eluate is additionally measured, after passing the RI detector, by a UV detector connected in series at λ=256 nm. A chromatogramme is produced in which the characteristic RID profile of the administered PEG marker is overlaid by the recording from the UV detector.
If the UV detector draws only a base line in the retention region of the spit marker and if the RI detector identifies the administered marker combination, the urine sample may be unambiguously allocated to the test subject concerned. If, however, the UV chromatogramme contains a peak at the retention time of the spit marker, it may be assumed that the test subject has deliberately added marker substance to an abused-drug-free urine sample with intent to deceive.
The drawings show two chromatogrammes in
If monodisperse PEG fractions are used as marker substances, it is advantageous with regard to the analysis speed to change the chromatographic system. If short-chained PEGs with shorter permeation times are preferred, the analysis for nucleosil 300-C4 5 μm, 125 mm�4.6 mm ID may be carried out with 33% CH3OH/67% H2O. Otherwise, the longer dwell time of the MHB during the stationary phase leads to extended analysis times.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Shy creature takes kids to magical world
From Down Under, land of kookaburras, kangaroos and platypuses, comes another exotic creature called a Grug.
It's hard to tell whether Grug is a he or a she, but it is definitely a literary character made famous in a popular kids picture-book series by Australian writer Ted Prior. There are 35 Grug books and now a stage show that is making its North American debut at Manitoba Theatre for Young People before going to New York City and the rest of a five-month tour.
Grug looks like a little striped haystack with feet and a nose and is said to have began life as the top of a burrawang tree that fell to the ground. He plays soccer and cricket with his sometimes grumpy pal Cara, the carpet snake.
"His appeal is that he is a very shy but curious creature," says Hamish Fletcher, one of the show's three puppeteers from the Windmill Theatre in Adelaide, Australia. "He's scared of the big, harsh noises, but is very inquisitive about the small things in life.
"Children who aren't the loudest or most noticeable find it easy to identify with him."
The 35-year-old Fletcher compares the star of Grug to Snuffleupagus, the imposing but gentle Muppet character from TV's Sesame Street. The target audience is children one to six years of age.
The 30-minute presentation introduces Grug to youngsters on a set that depicts a cross-section of the little grass-covered hill in which it lives. Grug gets lots of presents to play with, and if the audience is lucky, he will do his dance called -- what else? -- The Grug.
"The show was not created with a message in mind," says Fletcher, who has a masters degree in puppetry from the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne. "There is a movement in children's theatre away from morality-style theatre. The message is more in the form than the content. The audience gets to learn and play with these exotic beings in this magical world."
The three puppeteers interact with their young viewers before and after the performance, even allowing them to take photographs with Grug.
Just as they are introducing new friends and experiences to local children, so are the three Australian puppeteers becoming familiar with the exotic world of Winnipeg this week.
"This is the first time I've ever seen real snow," says Fletcher. "It's around 40 C in Australia right now, so this temperature is quite shocking. Winnipeg's a real wonderland. It feels like Christmas. We never have that classic white Christmas, so everything here feels magical."
His Winnipeg to-do list is topped with the wish to go dogsledding. He is sorry that he probably won't get to do it since the troupe will be in New York when Festival du Voyageur opens later this month.
"I'm a little scared of skating for the first time," he says. "I think I will need those frames that kids push around on the ice.
"I've been trying to introduce Grug to hockey but he's a little bit frightened, too."

Toyota Camry re-earns CR 'Recommended' rating following crash tests
December 20, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Budget , Sedan , Safety , Toyota All is right again in the Toyota kingdom. The Japanese manufacturer's bread-and-butter sedan, the Camry , has been put back on Consumer Reports' "Recommended" vehicle list, following improved performance in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's crash testing. You'll recall that the 2012 and 2013 Camry were infamously booted from the list due to "Poor" ratings in IIHS' notoriously tough small-overlap crash testing. Toyota vowed – just last week actually – to fix the ratings. As the Toyota brand's head, Bill Fay, said last week, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that." Now, though, those redesigned cars have been tested, earning an "Acceptable" rating in the overlap testing. According to Consumer Reports , Camrys built from November 2013 on feature new internal structures that improve the car's crash test scores enough to make it a "Recommended" buy. IIHS has also elevated the car back to a position in its Top Safety Pick category, although it falls short of the new gold standard, the Top Safety Pick + rating. Toyota also made changes to the structure of the Prius , another model that failed to score well on small-overlap testing.
Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports
December 11, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Budget , Sedan , Safety , Toyota Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's ( IIHS ) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports . The Camry performed well in the moderate overlap frontal, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crash tests, receiving "Good" ratings, IIHS' highest rating, in all four tests. That was enough for IIHS to award it a Top Safety Pick rating, just not TSP+. Bill Fay, head of Toyota's US division, reportedly says, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that." Most Toyota models haven't been put through the small overlap frontal test, but those that have haven't received better than a "Marginal" rating, IIHS' third-best rating. The Corolla received a "Marginal" rating , while the midsize Prius V , along with the Camry, earned "Poor" ratings . The RAV4 compact crossover also earned a "Poor" rating in the test.
Toyota recalls 4,000 Tacoma pickups over valve springs
November 7, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Truck , Recalls , Safety , Toyota When you build as many cars and trucks as Toyota does, you're bound to run into the occasional recall . In the past month alone, the Japanese auto giant has recalled over 800,000 Camry, Avalon and Venza models over problems with the air-conditioning units, and 10,000 more before that over windshield wiper issues. Now Toyota has issued another recall notice, but this time for far fewer vehicles. The recall revolves around the engine valve springs in the 2013 and 2014 Tacoma , specifically those fitted with the standard 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine and not the optional 4.0-liter V6. The issue is that the valve springs are prone to cracking and breaking over time, and results from improper maintenance of the manufacturing equipment used by one of the two suppliers that outfit Toyota with the components in question. All told, some 4,000 vehicles will be subject to the voluntary recall, the owners of which will receive notice by mail. If you think that could be you and want to get a jump on the problem, you can read the announcement below and call Toyota yourself.

Toyota settles for $3M after being found liable in sudden acceleration case
October 26, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Government/Legal , Safety , Toyota , Earnings/Financials A jury has decided that faulty software was to blame for a crash involving a 2005 Toyota Camry that killed one woman and injured another. This is the first time Toyota has been found liable by a jury in a lawsuit involving sudden acceleration claims. Toyota has maintained that driver error is the most likely cause for cases of sudden acceleration. Shortly after the jury in the case, which took place in Oklahoma and centered around a crash that injured 76-year-old Jean Bookout and killed her passenger, Barbara Schwarz, reached a verdict that would see Toyota paying $3 million in compensatory damages, a confidential settlement was reached. The jury, which had found Toyota liable for "reckless disregard" for public safety, had yet to decide what punitive damages Toyota would face. Toyota said in a statement, "While we strongly disagree with the verdict, we are satisfied that the parties reached a mutually acceptable agreement to settle this case. We will continue to defend our products vigorously at trial in other legal venues." This verdict could have widespread implications for several more cases that have yet to be heard in court where lawyers are expected to argue that software was to blame for sudden acceleration in Toyota vehicles. These cases fall into a different legal category than the ones Toyota settled for $1.4 billion earlier this year. Toyota's brief statement can be found below .

Toyota recalling 800k Camry, Avalon and Venza models for AC issue
October 18, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Budget , Sedan , Recalls , Safety , Crossover , Toyota , Luxury Toyota has announced plans to voluntarily recall 803,000 vehicles from model years 2012 and 2013, over concerns with the air conditioning condenser housing. The recall covers the Camry , Camry Hybrid , Avalon , Avalon Hybrid and Venza , although the exact split between affected models wasn't available. According to Toyota, the condenser can leak onto an airbag control module, which in turn could cause a short circuit. In most cases, this will just lead to an airbag warning light, but in rarer instances, the airbags could fail to deploy or pop out of their own accord. There's also a concern over a loss of power steering if the airbag control module develops a short. It's unclear if there have been any injuries or crashes relating to the defects. Toyota will begin informing owners of affected vehicles via first class mail, and will ask them to report to dealerships for recall work, involving the installation of a cover on the condenser housing. Scroll down for the official press release from Toyota.

Toyota develops new pre-collision system with steering assist
October 14, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Safety , Technology , Lexus , Toyota A number of automakers are working on developing fully autonomous cars , but it looks like the groundwork for such technologies will likely show up first as semi-autonomous systems for both safety and convenience. Following recent announcements from Nissan and Ford in this area, Toyota has now released information for some of its advanced semi-autonomous technologies that could be offered in production cars over the next few years. On the safety front, Toyota's new pre-collision system with pedestrian-avoidance steering assist is aimed at protecting the folks who aren't in the car. This system combines visual and audible alerts with automatic brake assist and automatic steering. If warnings don't get the driver to slow down, the brake assist kicks in if a collision is very likely, but if that is still not able to avoid the impending collision (and if there is enough room to do so), the car can automatically steer itself around the pedestrian. This sounds most beneficial for last-second dangers such as a person accidently stepping out into the road in front of a car. Toyota hopes to have this technology available to customers by 2015. The Japanese automaker is also testing a suite of technologies called Automated Highway Driving Assist (AHDA). The key part of this is a new adaptive cruise control system that uses vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications rather than a radar-based system. This cooperative-adaptive cruise control allows vehicles to communicate their acceleration and deceleration data with other cars, which Toyota says this helps to improve fuel efficiency and traffic flow.
Toyota found not at fault in alleged unintended acceleration crash
October 12, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Government/Legal , Safety , Toyota Toyota has already paid out millions and billions of dollars in settlements surrounding unintended acceleration , but the first lawsuit in the matter , which headed to a California court in July, has reached a verdict. Following the 2009 death of Noriko Uno, whose 2006 Camry was hit by another car and then sped out of control before crashing into a tree, the jury found that Toyota was not at fault in the crash. Even though the 2006 Camry (shown above) wasn't involved in any of the unintended acceleration-related recalls and it was not equipped with a brake override, Automotive News reports that the jury's verdict says there was no defect in the car and actually blames the entire incident on the driver that ran into Uno's car – to the tune of $10 million. The accident started when the other driver ran a stop sign and hit Uno's car, and the report says that medical conditions (including diabetes) caused Uno to fail to stop her Camry. The AN article also states that this lawsuit was a bellwether case for around 85 other personal-injury and wrongful-death suits against Toyota, but there are still many impending suits across the country. Scroll down for an official statement on this particular case from Toyota.

Toyota to recall 185k cars globally, including Yaris
July 4, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Budget , Recalls , Safety , Hatchback , Toyota Toyota has announced it is recalling a total of 185,000 vehicles worldwide for a power steering issue. Yaris and (overseas) Vitz models built between November 2010 and March 2012 could suffer a short circuit in their power steering control module if water gets inside. Should that happen, the power steering could fail, increasing effort when turning. The recall also includes the Verso-S and Ractis built from August 2010 to August 2011. The recall covers 130,000 vehicles in Japan and around 22,450 in Europe. Only 74 units are being recalled in the United States. Toyota says if the fault occurs, the vehicle will display the Electronic Power Steering warning light on the dash and a buzzer will sound. The automaker will alert owners by mail and dealers will replace the power steering control module free of charge. You can read the quick press release on the recall below for more information.

Half of all Christian students will walk away from their faith in college. How can your church confront that statistic and help teens establish a deep faith before stepping on campus?
As young people from your church graduate high school, how they develop in the years that follow will determine not only their destiny, but also the destiny of the American church. Pastors enjoy a certain delight and privilege in helping to guide the lives of the families that look to their wisdom and spiritual leadership for navigating the tumultuous waters of life.
This is especially true as many parents enter the minefield of determining a course of direction for their recent high school graduates. Since these early years are so important, we must be very careful to help parents set up their young adults for success, no matter how unconventional the approach may be.
In a world that has become so wrapped up in social media like Facebook, Instagram and avatars, has the live event lost it place? Has the "not forsaking the assembling of ourselves" become relegated to a computer screen or a smartphone (Heb. 10:25)?
I recently watched a group of young girls sitting at the same table in the food court of a trendy mall and laughing. Though there's nothing unusual about that, what caught my attention was that they weren't talking to each other; they were feverishly texting back and forth. Their laughter wasn't a result of what they were saying to each other, but rather what they were texting to each other. In our digital age, have we lost even our most fundamental art of conversation?
In John 21, Jesus referred to youth "engagement" as "feeding the lambs." Notice that, of the three different references to taking care of His flock, Jesus told Peter to feed and take care of the sheep two times, but He specifically called out the lambs. It's as if He was telling Peter, "Don't forget the young ones!" One-third of his exhortation was aimed at the lambs!
Emma grew up in a small town her whole life. She dated and had a steady boyfriend for two years, until he succumbed to the ribbing of his football teammates and tried drugs for the first time. After learning of his new found habit, Emma's parents forbid her to see him. But after spending most of her time with him and his friends for the previous two years, she never really found a place to belong again. The local churches' youth groups were nonexistent; her sister had her own friends, and failed attempts to make the school's sports teams left her feeling rejected. At home, she often saw and heard her parents fighting about money and didn't get the attention she wanted from a distracted mom consumed with trying to keep her marriage together.
I've learned that relating to students is more about what you do than who you are. I wrote a post a while ago called "The Bs to Being a Great Youth Leader," and it was about clearing up the misconceptions of what a youth leader has to be in order to relate to students. I believe the misconceptions of who a youth leader has to be cheapens youth ministry in general.
I believe the focus of a youth minister should be on what they do and not on who they are. Because I believe youth ministry is mostly about relationships, the fact that God created us to be in relationship with Him plays a huge part in that idea. Jesus was a walking relational powerhouse.
Why Teen Mania's Ron Luce is compelled to engage America's next generations like never before
I recently wrote a heartfelt letter to someone very close to me. She's 18, fresh out of high school and over the years has lost her way. She grew up in a normal home with parents who love her, and she never had any real problems at school. But somehow she faded away, slowly and quietly.
Looking back, I realize now that while home was a safe place, it never offered a solid foundation. Values weren't instilled, and church was more of an occasional event she was forced to attend rather than a community in which she freely participated and found acceptance. Rarely, if ever, was she in a life-giving place that facilitated God conversations or where she built relationships with youth leaders.
Our guest editor for this issue, Ron Luce, knows this scenario too well. As co-founder (with wife Katie) and leader of Garden Valley, Texas-based Teen Mania Ministries, Luce spends his time engaging today's teens with the gospel, partnering with thousands of churches nationwide through the ministry's Acquire the Fire youth events. For the past 27 years at these weekend events, Luce has stood face to face with more than 2.7 million teens to bring them a relatable and gospel-filled message. As a result, he's very much aware of the "slow fade" happening among emerging generations, both churched and unchurched. Throughout this issue, Luce offers a prophetic message and challenge to church leaders, reminding us that, "it's going to take all hands on deck to see a turnaround in this generation."
Luce knows firsthand the power of a church and its leaders focused on youth. Raised by his mother in a broken home, at age 15 he ran away and began using drugs and alcohol. A year later, at rock bottom, he went with a friend to church. The church's youth pastor reached out to him, and the senior pastor "drew me to the deeper things in Christ," Luce says. Ultimately, after discovering that Ron had been kicked out of his house because of his faith, the pastor invited him to live with him and his family during Luce's senior year of high school.
"This man took a risk on behalf of the younger generation," Luce says. "Since then, Christ has inspired and compelled me to love people the way He loves them, and I've realized that the whole point of my life is to point a younger generation toward Him."
However, Luce didn't start out with a vision to have an international ministry. "I didn't really want to start a ministry," he says. "I just wanted to preach and get young people saved and go on mission trips around the world. When God gives a dream and the tools to pull it off, He will bless it."
To date, Teen Mania has sent more than 70,000 teens on mission trips with its Global Expeditions arm (see p. 42), and more than 6,000 have participated in the Honor Academy, a yearlong internship for high school graduates and young adults providing leadership opportunities and opportunities to grow in God (see p. 34). Since its inception, hundreds of thousands of teens have accepted Christ through Teen Mania programs.
In his cover story (p. 16), Luce offers practical counsel for real issues, such as equipping teens to speak intelligently and confidently about their beliefs in a culture where absolute truth is mocked and social media offers constant distraction. In light of these issues, Luce identifies two essential questions church leaders should be asking: What are the most poignant challenges to reaching an ever-changing group? As leaders of Jesus' church, how do we confront those challenges?
I thought a great deal about my young friend as I read through the articles in this issue, about how potentially life-changing it would have been if a local church leader had taken a risk on her like Ron Luce's pastor did for him. I pray this issue challenges and inspires you to take similar steps for a fading generation.
