In the Top 50 from the 1890s through the 1950s and the Top 100 for decades longer, but now used less for babies than Landon or Lorenzo. Nickname Lauro perks it up.

Each year, Jimmy Kimmel asks his viewers to prank their kids by telling them they ate all of their Halloween candy. And each year, the videos totally deliver. The reactions from the kids range from complete and total meltdown to a sheepish grin and a, "That's okay!" Sure, it may be kind of evil for adults to trick their kids, but it's all in good fun.

You know Danielle Radcliffe can act, but did you also know he could rap? He can. And he's not bad, actually. While promoting his new movie "Horns", Radcliffe stopped by The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where he and Jimmy started talking about rap music. Radcliffe — who said he's a big rap fan — decided to show off some of his skills by rapping Blackalicious' "Alphabet Aerobics" (definitely not the easiest song he could have chosen). Radcliffe's ability to rap was pretty surprising, and had everyone thinking something along the lines of, "Nice job, Harry Potter!"
Taylor Swift fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of her new album, 1989, which is set to be released Oct. 27. Taylor has been casually releasing teasers from some of the album's songs, including track names, lyrics, and straight up releasing new songs (which are, apparently, about Harry Styles from One Direction). So things have been happening for T. Swift fans, which is why people got really, really excited when a new song popped up on iTunes simply called "Track 3." Without even bothering to preview the song, thousands of fans purchased the single... only to find out that the track was actually 8 seconds of white noise. Naturally, the song reached number 1 on iTunes in Canada.
This week, the Kansas City Royals and the San Francisco Giants advanced to the World Series. While the Giants have played in the World Series several times in recent memory, including two wins (in 2010 and 2012), the Royals haven't made it to the World Series since their 1985 win. So, you know, it's been a while, which means Royals fans are pretty excited about their team's victory, including Paul Rudd. Rudd, who was at Wednesday's game, was interviewed by reporters and said he'd be celebrating by throwing a party at his mom's. If you're not a Royals or Giants fan, then that party at Paul Rudd's mom's house is probably the most exciting thing about this news.
It's been eight years since Pluto had its status downgraded from "ninth planet" to "joke." (Okay, actually, it was called a "dwarf planet," but you know.) Well, Pluto might just be having the best week ever because some researchers at Harvard have said nah, Pluto, you're totally a planet. The researchers wrote, "Even though a dwarf fruit tree is still a small fruit tree, and a dwarf hamster is still a small hamster." I think it's pretty solid logic. There's no official ruling saying that Pluto actually is a planet, but this does open up the debate once more; it's possible that sometime in the future, Pluto will regain its status as "planet," and I'm just sad that "Psych" is no longer on air to discuss it.

History of Telecom Companies in Rwanda
9 February, at 08 : 09 AM Print
Commonly known as the land of a thousand hills, Rwanda is the country situated at the heart of Africa inhabited by over 10 million citizens. Rwanda's history of mobile telecommunication companies was pioneered by MTN Rwandacell which received a licence in 1998 to provide GSM services for both post and prepaid subscribers.
At the time, Prices and tariffs of both cellphones and calling respectively were high and thus MTN had less number of subscribers. With Rwandans' increased GPD per capita at $540 as of 2010 according to www.stastics.gov.rw and increased mobile services like GPRS, EDGE, 3G and zero facebook, the South African based company, MTN now boasts with 2,900,264 subscribers (www.rura.gov.rw statistics).
MTN's monopoly in Rwanda lasted for 10 years after which Rwandatel (80% owned by LAP Green networks of Libya) joined the mobile market. Rwandatel's introduction of 3G networks before MTN did, quickly attracted subscribers reaching over 100,000 in less than 2 months of operation. At this time, Revolution into Rwanda's mobile communication had just begun, with faster data communications and internet through handheld PCs and mobile phones.
3rd to enter the mobile communications market was Millicom named Tigo (owned by Luxembourg) which was licensed to carry operations late 2009. With intensive marketing (public transport buses were painted Tigo colours with overwhelmingly cheap call costs of 300Rfr per 24 hours) and rapid coverage of networks countrywide, Tigo has secured 1,523,825 as of November 2011.
In April 2011, Rwandatel had its license revoked by Rwanda's telecom regulator RURA due to a failure to meet licencee obligations such as coverage, planned investment targets and quality of service.
Not long ago, Late 2011 Bharti Airtel (Indian owned) secured a license to provide 2G and 3G cellular services. The company plans to invest over USD100 million over the next three years, including USD30 million for the purchase of the operating licence.
However with the entrance of a bigger fish in the market, (5th world's Telcom company), a lot is expected since Airtel has had a long history of making wonders including buying other Telecom companies like the USD 10.7 Billion dealthat saw Zain's 15 countries' coverage become Airtel not to mention a previous wish to merge with MTN Group.

Prepared? (562 comments)
I'm not "prepared" for a disaster in the truest sense of the word. "Prepared" alludes to the fact that some conscious and extra effort has been taken in order to have something to "fall back" on when you are hit with the unexpected.
I think the better word for me is simply "ready".
I grew up in a rural area and was often out in the woods or field without proper tools or away from modern conveniences so I began to develop what I later learned is called an "Every Day Carry" and just made having a wide and flexible variety of tools and supplies constantly ready and always available.
Right now on my person I have an iPhone 4, a 3" lockback pocket knife, small bags, a spare key in my wallet, my wallet, chapstick (shut up lol!), 50 feet of paracord, and a very compact belt sheath holding a leatherman, a 16gb usb flashdrive, a 700 lumen LED flashlight with spare battery and a small waterproof bison tube with needle, thread and firesteel...
I cannot be found without these items so long as I'm clothed. While my car and home is better equipped, if I was suddenly thrust into the middle of nowhere or into a disaster situation, I'm already carrying 99% of what I need to make it indefinitely assuming ANY resources are available (ie-game, trees, water) using what I'm already carrying and survival skills that were learned growing up.
Everything else extra is just frosting on the cake of survival.

Seriously? At what point should we even bother taking the photograph? Why don't they just cut to the chase and have it draw in whatever the heck we want? I have nothing against retouching photo's, but you still have to work with an original... When the original is hacked to shreds in order to reflect who/whatever the software chooses at the source is there even a point to taking the photo?
Sorry, just my stick in the mud moment of the year. I'm all better now.

I'm not a fan of cluttered up sites, but slashdot has long been able to present practically hideous amounts of information and news in a way that doesn't FEEL cluttered and was also easy to ready without wearing out your scroll wheel in 2 articles. There was a freakishly effective balance struck.
Not so much with the new design... but, again it IS new and unfamiliar to all us sticks in the mud, I'll give it a whirl and see how it flies.
Re:Much faster? (717 comments)
Not just Cali. 87 in New York, the first time I got on that highway, I was 15 over the speed limit and I was easily the slowest car on the road. There wasn't a single car that wasn't falling behind me, instead they'd all come roaring up and pass me like I was sitting still. At least until I figured out that I'd best get moving if I didn't want to turn into grill fodder for a tractor trailer.
I don't think I dropped below 90 the entire 230 miles.
W00t baby!!
I made it onto someone's (ben there... (946946)) "foe list"! Which, according to him, I'm either a Mac Fanboi, a troll and/or an asshole...
Glad to be of service! My guess is that I'm a "Mac fanboi", though I'm a tad old to be a "boi" anything...
No matter! I'm simply pleased that I help give a meaning to life for someone who's existence is obviously so meager that he needs to amuse himself by adding people who may otherwise have a good thought worthy opinion to his foe list.
Granted, I can be a "prick" once in a while and I'm not outside of being a Mac User (I do avoid dribbling when at all possible), but I generally have good intentions and I feel I at least make a heartfelt attempt to better whichever discussion I involve myself in.
Regardless, I have no problems with this guy and he is more than welcome to hate me simply because I own a Mac or perhaps I am occasionally blunt... who knows? Despite your best intentions pal, you will still amuse me, so I'm leaving you in my "Freaks" list and I strongly encourage you to continue on with your little quest!

"I bought the book from Waterstone's (On line) and took it with me on holiday. Would you believe me if I told you I knew the answer before the shape was revealed? Well, of course I didn't. But as I was travelling through Europe, I had lots of maps with me and was tracing out my own journey regularly. As I got engaged in the story, I actually wondered if the riddle would relate to the many places referenced in the book.
When the shape was revealed, I thought that perhaps the shape might relate to the countries that were mentioned in the book- Lebanon, Moldova, China, France, UK. But checking the points, I quickly discounted that. I also wondered if it related to architectural practices or engineering firms or London landmarks mentioned in the book. But Alas no. I was therefore quite certain that it referred to restaurants and bars and such when the first clue was revealed (finer things). The word 'mapped' signalled that I was on the right path.
The second clue confirmed it for me when the phrase 'western extremity' leapt out at me. To be honest, I did try to transfer the points onto the map of London but couldn't quite get the scale right but I think that the bottom-most point perhaps related to The Wolseley and the three points which are very close to each other related to the places on Charlotte Street. By coincidence - I was out with friends on Charlotte Street and I spotted Rasa Samudra and Cafe Nero at the corner and from then on- I just thought- Ahhh what the heck... just submit my guess and see what happens!

Creating a Collaborative Effort to Vaccinate a Nation
The Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation highlighted the need to improve vaccination rates among children and adults last week with the release of the 2014 "Outbreaks" report. The report reveals that more than 2 million preschoolers, 35 percent of seniors and a majority of adults do not receive all recommended vaccinations.
When it comes to vaccinating adults, primers for doctors often say the key to success is more education for medical professionals. However, Litjen Tan, MS, PhD, Chief Strategy Officer of the Immunization Action Coalition says it's not necessarily more education that doctors need. Instead, Tan believes adult vaccination rates can be improved by training the support staff at doctors' offices to vaccinate, and authorizing them to do so.

Financial Incentives Double Smoking Quit Rates
Offering small financial incentives doubles smoking cessation rates among low-income smokers, according to research from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. The study was published in the American Journal of Public Health. Participants in the intervention group could earn up to $150 in gift cards over four weeks. Progress was monitored for 12 weeks following the quit date. A control group received only cessation information, no incentives. The researchers found that quit rates were 49 percent for those in the incentive group but only 25 percent in the control group. Read more on tobacco.
Two Thirds of Parents Would Take Kids out of Daycare if Other Children Don't Have Their Immunizations
A national survey of parents with children ages 0-5 found that three quarters of them would take their children out of daycare if at least one quarter of the children at daycare were not up to date on their vaccines. The researchers say the scenario is realistic since about 25 percent of preschool children in the United States are not fully vaccinated, according to national statistics. Just over 40 percent of survey responders also said that children missing vaccines should be asked to leave daycare until they are up to date. Read more on vaccines.
Three Drugs During Pregnancy Better Than Current Complicated Regimen for Preventing Mother-to-Baby HIV Transmission
For HIV-infected women in good immune health, taking a three-drug regimen during pregnancy prevents mother-to-child HIV transmission more effectively than taking one drug during pregnancy, another during labor and two more after giving birth, according to a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Allergic to Eggs? You Can Safety Get the Flu Shot—and Other Life-Threatening Allergy and Asthma Myths
Major medical conferences often showcase a study, perhaps two, that can change the field of practice and the health for thousands to millions. At this year's annual meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, four studies made such an impact that the College created an infographic to better help share the findings:
- Many—perhaps even most—people who think they're allergic to penicillin really aren't. And taking alternative antibiotics can cost more, be less effective and bring side effects.
- A study in Chicago found that stocking epinephrine pens in public schools saved lives for more than a dozen kids who had potentially fatal allergic reactions, but who hadn't been told to carry their own pen. The researchers say the lesson learned is that more schools and other public spaces need to keep supplies of the low-cost devices on hand.
- Many doctors don't keep up with the most recent allergy information—which means their patients may not be getting the most effective treatment. For example, 85 percent of internists polled think an egg allergy is a contraindication for the flu shot. Evidence shows the shot to be safe for people with an egg allergy.
- Some YouTube asthma videos promote incorrect and dangerous alternative treatments for asthma that pose a risk of death if used rather than treatment based on clinical trials and scientific evidence.
Why Are So Many People Still Bypassing the Flu Shot?
Flu season in the United States typically runs from November through March, with the peak coming in January and February. But people can catch the flu both earlier than the usual start time and after the usual end of the season. In addition, the severity of the flu season can vary with from 3,000 to 49,000 U.S. deaths in a given year, an average of more than 200,000 hospitalizations and millions of illnesses, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Flu shot season has a shorter time table, so many pharmacies and doctors' office that are well stocked at the moment can run out before Christmas, making it difficult for people who put off their vaccinations to find a vaccine location and protect themselves.
And despite a yearly campaign to get people to roll their arms up, less fewer than half of adults and less than 60 percent of kids received a flu shot last year. NewPublicHealth recently spoke with Carolyn Bridges, MD, the CDC's associate director for adult immunizations about what keeps people from getting the flu shot and how more people can be encouraged to get the vaccine.
NewPublicHealth: What is it that keeps people from getting the shot?
Carolyn Bridges: I think there are a number of things. Certainly, we have pretty good awareness about the recommendations for the influenza vaccine, although some people may just not realize that they are potentially at risk. The current recommendations call for all persons six months of age and older to get an annual flu vaccine, with rare exceptions. But the vaccine recommendations have changed over time and in the last few years have been broadened to include [just about] everyone. For some people the message hasn't gotten to them that in fact they are now included in the group recommended for a yearly flu vaccine
NPH: What common misconceptions do people still have about the flu vaccine?
Bridges: In terms of the safety, some people question or are worried about getting the flu from the flu vaccine. That's still a common comment that we receive. Sometimes people will certainly have body aches or some tenderness in the arm where they get their flu vaccine, but that's certainly not the same as getting influenza, and those symptoms generally are very self-limited and go away within two to three days. But the flu vaccine cannot cause the flu.

EBOLA UPDATE: WHO Officials See 'Glimmers of Hope' in Liberia as New Case Rate Declines
(NewPublicHealth is monitoring the public health crisis in West Africa.)
There are "glimmers of hope" in Liberia as officials from the World Health Organization (WHO) say the rate of new Ebola cases appears to be declining for the first time since the outbreak began. Still, an official with the global health agency said they are still very much concerned and on guard. "It's like saying your pet tiger is under control," said Bruce Aylward, the WHO's assistant director-general in charge of the operational response, according to The Washington Post. "This is a very, very dangerous disease" and "the danger now is that instead of a steady downward trend we end up with an oscillating trend where the virus goes up and down" because areas become reinfected.

Study: Infant's Birthweight Tied to Disease Risk Later in Life
An infant's size at birth may help predict their health later in life, with babies who are heavier have less of a risk for future disease, according to a new study in The FASEB Journal. Researchers based their findings on an analysis of cord blood of newborn babies from mothers with raised glucose levels during late pregnancy and blood taken later. "These findings support the hypothesis that common long-term variation in the activity of genes established in the womb may underpin links between size at birth and risk for adult disease," said Claire R. Quilter, Ph.D., study author from the Mammalian Molecular Genetics Group, Department of Pathology at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. "If confirmed these could be important markers of optimal fetal growth and may be the first step along a path to very early disease prevention in the womb." Read more on maternal and infant health.
FDA Approves New Meningitis Vaccines
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first vaccine approved to prevent invasive meningococcal disease in the United States. The drug is to prevent Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B is approved for individuals ages 10 to 25 years. Approximately 500 total cases of meningococcal disease were reported in the United States in 2012, with 160 having been causes by serogroup B. "Recent outbreaks of serogroup B Meningococcal disease on a few college campuses have heightened concerns for this potentially deadly disease," said Karen Midthun, MD, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, in a release. "The FDA's approval of Trumenba provides a safe and effective way to help prevent this disease in the United States." Read more on vaccines.

EBOLA UPDATE: WHO Plans on Ebola Vaccine Tests in January
(NewPublicHealth is monitoring the public health crisis in West Africa.)
The World Health Organization plans to begin testing two experimental Ebola vaccines in West Africa by January. The vaccines will likely be tested on more than 20,000 frontline health care workers and others in the region. The global health agency also announced that a blood serum treatment could be available for use in Liberia within two weeks. Read more on Ebola.
Study: Automated Tracking Improves Vaccine Compliance in Health Care Workers
Automated tracking of influenza vaccinations increases vaccination compliance in health care personnel while also reducing the workload burden on human resources and occupational health staff, according to a new study in the journal Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology. Researchers analyzed data on nearly 7,000 people including in a mandatory vaccination program, finding that "automated reminders and tracking accounted for more than 98 percent of compliance among healthcare personnel." "Mandatory vaccination programs help protect vulnerable patients, but can be tremendously time and resource dependent," said Susan Huang, MD, MPH, an author of the study, in a release. "By successfully automating a system to track and provide feedback to healthcare personnel who have not received their seasonal flu vaccine, we are providing safer places for care and reducing the administrative burden of our mandatory vaccination program."

Study: Living with a Smoker is as Bad as Living in a Highly Polluted City
Living with a smoker is the same as living in a smoke-free home in a heavily polluted city such as Beijing or London, with the non-smokers exposed to three times the World Health Organization's officially recommend safe levels of damaging air particles, according to a new study in the journal Tobacco Control. In a collection of four studies, researchers determined that the concentration of fine particulate matter was approximately 10 times higher in smoking homes than it was in non-smoking homes. "Smokers often express the view that outdoor air pollution is just as much a concern as the second-hand smoke in their home," said Sean Semple, MD, of University of Aberdeen, in a release. "These measurements show that second-hand tobacco smoke can produce very high levels of toxic particles in your home: much higher than anything experienced outside in most towns and cities in the UK. Making your home smoke-free is the most effective way of dramatically reducing the amount of damaging fine particles you inhale." Read more on air quality.

WHO: 20,000 Could Be Infected Before Ebola is Under Control
The World Health Organization (WHO) now estimates that the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa could infect as many as 20,000 people before public health officials are able to get it under control. The latest numbers on the disease place the number of infected at 3,069, with 1,552 deaths. Also yesterday, an article in the journal Science reported that the virus has mutated repeatedly during the outbreak, making it even more difficult to manage. Five of the report's 50 co-authors have died of Ebola. Read more on Ebola.
CDC: Majority of Parents Have their Children Vaccinated
The majority of parents have their children receive routinely recommended vaccinations, according to the latest Morbidity and Mortality Report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The report found that in 2013:
- More than 90 percent of babies were vaccinated against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR); poliovirus; hepatitis B; and varicella
- 73 percent were vaccinated against rotavirus
- 83 percent were vaccinated against Hepatitis A
- 74 percent were vaccinated against Hepatitis B
- Less than 1 percent of children received no vaccines
"I want to personally recognize the hard work of doctors and nurses coping with many challenges in the course of clinical work, and commend parents who, despite competing responsibilities, continue to prioritize immunization to keep their children healthy and safe," said Anne Schuchat, MD, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. "These people are central in keeping young children healthy by ensuring they receive the recommended vaccines on schedule." Read more on vaccines.
Study: Conflict Between Parents Also Causes Conflict with Children
Conflict between parents in a marriage also has a negative impact on parents' relationships with their children, according to a new study in the Journal of Family Psychology. Researchers had parents in more than 200 families write daily diary entries for 15 days, then had each parent rate the quality of both their marriage and their relationships with their kids. They found that days with conflict between parents also had increased cases of problems between the parents and their children. "We see from the findings that the marriage is a hub relationship for the family. The quality of that relationship spills over into each parent's interactions with the child. So if mom and dad are fighting, it will show up initially—and in some cases on the second day—in a poorer quality relationship with their kids," said study author Chrystyna Kouros, an assistant professor in the psychology department at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, in a university news release.

EBOLA UPDATE: Looted Quarantine Center Raises Fears of Ebola's Spread
(NewPublicHealth is monitoring the public health crisis in West Africa.)
The raid by residents of an Ebola quarantine center in Liberia this weekend sent potentially infected patients fleeing and has raised very serious concerns over spreading the outbreak throughout West Point, Monrovia. Looters—apparently angry that patients were brought to the holding center from other parts of Monrovia—were seen taking items that were visibly stained with blood, vomit and excrement, all of which can spread the Ebola virus. The Washington Post reports that there have been talks about quarantining the entire township if needed. Read more on Ebola.
Study: Mothers in Poorer Health Less Likely to Breastfeed
Mothers who are in poorer health are also less likely to breastfeed their infant children, according to a new study in the journal PLOS ONE. Researchers from the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota determined that women who are obese, have diabetes or have hypertension were 30 percent less likely to intend to breastfeed than were mothers without health complications. "Statistically we're seeing an increase in breastfeeding in the U.S., which is great news. Unfortunately, at the same time, rates of obesity and other health problems are increasing. More than a million women each year enter pregnancy with a health problem, and our study shows that these mothers were less likely to plan to breastfeed," said Katy Kozhimannil, PhD, lead author of the study and assistant professor at the university, in a release. "This is troubling because the families with social and medical risk factors are often those who stand to gain the most benefits from breastfeeding." Read more on maternal and infant health.
Study: HPV Vaccine Still Effective After Eight Years
The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine appears to remain effective at protecting against the sexually transmitted virus for at least eight years, according to a new study in the journal Pediatrics. Researchers randomly assigned 1,781 sexually inactive boys and girls ages 9-15 to either the HPV vaccine or placebo shots, finding that those who received the vaccine still had antibodies against HPV after eight years. "The body's response against HPV by making antibodies looks very good at eight years, and it seems like no booster doses will be necessary," said lead researcher Daron Ferris, MD, director of the HPV epidemiology and prevention program at Georgia Regents University in Atlanta, according to HealthDay. "These are all indications that the vaccine is safe, and it looks like it's effective in preventing genital warts and other diseases caused by HPV." Read more on vaccines.
Ebola Update: NIH Testing of a Potential Ebola Vaccine Set to Begin this Fall
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division of the National Institutes of Health, is set to begin an early-stage clinical trial for a vaccine to protect against the Ebola virus. The trial should begin as early as September. The vaccine to be tested was developed by the NIAID's Group Health Research Center in Seattle and does not contain infectious Ebola virus material. Instead, it's what is known as an adenovirus vector vaccine containing an insert of two Ebola genes. The vaccine works by entering a cell and delivering the new genetic material, causing a protein expression that activates an immune response in the body. Researchers have seen success with studies in primates.
The vaccine being tested is not the experimental serum that was used on two Ebola-infected health workers recently evacuated from Liberia. In those cases, Samaritan's Purse, the aid organization that sent the health workers to Africa, contacted officials from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Liberia to discuss the status of various experimental treatments they had identified through a medical literature search. CDC officials referred them to an NIH scientist in West Africa familiar with experimental treatment candidates who was then able to refer them to pharmaceutical companies working on experimental treatments. The serum being used is made by Mapp Biopharmaceutical of San Diego, Calif.

CDC: 60 Percent of Diners Will Use Menu Calorie Counts When Available
Approximately 6 in 10 U.S. adults will choose their restaurant meals in part because of menu label information when it's available, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) latest Morbidity and Mortality Report. Researchers analyzed the self-reported usage of 118,013 adults in 17 states in 2012 to determine that about 57 percent will look to the provided calorie information. New York had the highest rate, with 61.3 percent, while Montana had the lowest, at 48.7 percent. Federal law requires calorie information be provided by any restaurant with 20 or more locations; while the regulations are not yet final, many establishments already voluntarily provide menu labeling, according to the CDC.

Depression, Stress, Hostility Tied to Higher Stroke Risk
Depression, stress and hostility may be linked to a higher risk for stroke, according to a new study in the journal Stroke. Using information provided by approximately 7,000 adults who did not have heart disease or a history of stroke at the beginning of the study, researchers followed up nearly nine years later and determined that depression was associated with an 86 percent increased chance of a stroke or a transient ischemic attack, stress was associated with a 59 percent increase and hostility doubled the risk. "[C]hronic stress and negative emotions are important psychological factors that affect one's health, and findings from this study link these factors to brain health in particular," said the study's lead author, Susan Everson-Rose, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota, according to HealthDay. "Patients and their health care providers should be aware that experiences of chronic stress and negative emotional states can increase risk for stroke." Read more on heart health.
Washington State Sees Most Measles Cases Since 1996
A slight decline in Washington State's mumps and rubella vaccination rate has coincided with the state's highest number of measles case in 18 years, according to officials. Washington has reported 27 cases so far this year and is currently in the midst of its third outbreak. While homegrown measles was declared officially eliminated from the United States in 2000, infections from people who have travelled overseas remain a threat. There were 554 total cases of measles and 17 outbreaks reported in the United States between Jan. 1 and July 3 of this year. Read more on infectious diseases.

Target Center
Attendance: 14,256
Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Chauncey Billups delivered 25 points to lead Denver in a 110-102 final over Minnesota at the Target Center.
Carmelo Anthony recorded 19 points, six rebounds and five assists for the Nuggets, who won their fourth straight game to kick off a four-game road trip.
Nene came up with 17 points and nine boards, J.R. Smith added 15 points and Chris Andersen stepped up with a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds.
Corey Brewer paced a down-and-out Timberwolves squad with 21 points. Al Jefferson posted 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Kevin Love added 15 and 11.
Minnesota is riding a seven-game losing streak overall and has lost seven straight at home as well.
The T'Wolves held a 23-20 edge at the close of the first quarter, remained in front at the break, 53-48, and increased their lead to eight on a pair of free throws by Wayne Ellington four minutes into the third.
Denver chipped away at the deficit with Smith launching a trio of three- pointers over a two-minute stretch -- the last bringing the visitors within 67-66 with 4:24 remaining.
"Those three (three-pointers) gave them the momentum. A team like that, you have to put them away. They're a great team," said Minnesota guard Ramon Sessions.
Andersen scored on consecutive Denver possessions moments later to grab the lead, and a nine-point surge to end the frame gave the Nuggets a 79-72 advantage.
Denver scored the first six points of the fourth for a 15-0 stretch and a three-point play by Andersen three minutes in had the hosts suddenly up by 16.
"The intensity changed for us. We started playing harder, faster (in the second half). I was frustrated with the first half we played," said Billups.
A Brewer three at the midway point cut the gap below double digits, but just as quickly Denver was ahead 103-91 after Smith capped a brief six-point stretch with an alley-oop slam.
Minnesota could only cut it to eight down the stretch and a Billups three with 1:13 to go brought the lead back to 11.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Medvedev: We'll Can Missiles if Obama Halts Missile Shield
Russia will not deploy missiles in its European enclave of Kaliningrad
if US President-elect Barack Obama cancels the planned American
anti-missile defense system, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said.
Medvedev told French daily Le Figaro on Thursday, Nov. 13, that he
thought the incoming Obama administration may be more willing to
negotiate over the missile system than the incumbent Bush
administration had been.
"We are prepared to drop our decision to deploy missiles at
Kaliningrad if the new American administration decides to abandon its
anti-missile system," he said, noting that, based on early reactions,
Obama was "thinking about it."
"We hope to create frank and honest relations with the new
administration and resolve problems that we were not able to resolve
with the current administration," he said.
The Russian president said Moscow was willing to consider "a global
defense system with the United States, the EU nations and the Russian
Medvedev also said he had spoken with Obama by telephone and would
like to meet him in person soon.
Obama not backing down
President-elect Barack ObamaBildunterschrift: Grossansicht des Bildes
mit der Bildunterschrift: Obama hasn't been swayed by inflamed
Russian rhetoric over the missile system
But Obama stated as recently as Saturday, Nov. 8, in a telephone
conversation with Polish President Lech Kaczynski that he would not
shy away from the anti-missile system, despite persistent pressure
from Moscow to do so.
"Barack Obama has underlined the importance of the strategic
partnership between Poland and the United States," Kaczynski said in a
statement after the talk. "He expressed his hope of continuing the
political and military cooperation between our two countries.
"He also said the anti-missile shield project would go ahead."
The US plans to build 10 interceptor missiles on Polish territory and
a radar facility in the Czech Republic by 2011 to 2013. The new
components would complete a system already in place in the US,
Greenland and Britain.
Washington says the shield -- endorsed by NATO in February -- is aimed
at defending against potential attacks by so-called "rogue states"
such as Iran and North Korea and would not be aimed at Russia.
In response to the system, Medvedev has threatened to deploy
short-range Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad.

Moscow had already suggested the development of a risk alert system
that all countries would set up independently, he said.
Medvedev said he had already shared his ideas with French President
Nicolas Sarkozy, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, German
Chancellor Angela Merkel and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
"We share the same vision about the origin of the crisis," he said.
"We must find the solutions to stabilize and reform the system for the

Unlike other dends, this one really doesn't dry out, except maybe a bit in the winter just to stop things from rotting. Pssst Orchidweb now sells this (enabler) |
Wow! Just everything about that flower is stunning - the colors, the shape, the texture. That's a nice one. Kevin |
Really nice pic! I posted one of mine back in Feb., with some others. I grow mine in sphag in a pot with holes in the sides. Never dries out completely. It is just finishing up making new growth now, and the new canes are already producing buds. At the same time, last year's single cane is producing a couple of new buds - this is its 3rd time blooming. An easy and very gratifying plant! I'll put a link to mine, and post new pics when it blooms. Tucker |

To Get FREE Remodel Cost Estimates
while we finalize the work here,
please Visit our sister Site Remodel Estimates.com
Whether you've already decided on home remodeling or you're |
Before you decide to pack up your family and sell the house, be |
Everything you wanted to know about remodeling your home can be found at RemodelOrMove.com. From the very first time you look at your kitchen, bathroom or any room in your house and think to yourself – "this room needs to change" – we can help you with a step by step process that will ensure you minimize the stress of a remodel and ensure you get the results you want and deserve.
First step is usually to figure out how much the remodel will cost. It is hard to get a good estimate without detailed plans but the RemodelOrMove.com remodel cost calculators can help give you an idea of the cost.
Maybe your biggest concern is remodeling itself! Are you and your family ready for the fun and challenges of a remodel. Our Should Your Remodel? and Remodel Or Move? decision making calculators can help you take some of the guess work out as you weigh your options.
If the budget seems to make sense and you have decided that yes, you may want to remodel, then it is time for the fun part – to start collecting ideas of what you want the room to look like when you are done. Here again RemodelOrMove.com has a great tool – our ideafile that enables you to securely and privately research ideas and find photos of kitchens, bathrooms, basements and all the furniture and fixtures that go into these rooms. Once you find what you like you can save and share them into your ideafile to keep track of all your ideas.
RemodelOrMove.com has partnered up with www.Lender411.com to provide you with today's latest mortgage and refinance rates so you can make smart decisions about your home financing needs.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What are the primary costs when remodeling?
A: The things you control that really drive the cost of remodeling are 1. who does the work 2. your design and 3. the materials you choose. You have a tremendous amount of control over remodeling costs.
Q: So how do i control and manage the cost to remodel?
A: The more work you do the lower the total cost for your remodel. So hire carefully to manage your remodeling costs and have a very detailed and thorough remodeling contract to ensure there are no cost overruns. Unless your design is simple you should work with a designer or your contractor to develop your renovation design with the specific goal of reducing remodeling costs. Finally you need to spend a lot of time shopping and selecting fixtures and appliances and materials for your remodel. Dont worry about the drywall or framing lumber – focus on the light fixtures, cabinets, and flooring. This is where your money for your remodel is going and this is where you can really save a bundle on the cost to remodel
Q: Why are home renovation costs so high?
A: Home renovation costs are high compared to new home construction because home renovations require working around existing features of a home during the renovation. The cost of home renovations can be 2 to 5 times the cost of building the same area in new construction.
Q: What are the major home renovation cost drivers?
A: There are 4 major home renovation cost drivers. First is the homes location; while material costs do not vary much more than 20% across the country the labor rates can vary 500% or more from the lowest labor rate areas to the highest. Labor accounts for approximately 1/2 of home renovation costs. Materials that you choose are a next big component of the home renovation costs. For example a kitchen faucet can cost $30 or $300 or more – which will you choose? The design – will you decide to move windows? doors? All of these design decisions add to the cost of your home renovation. Finally who does the work; will you do some or all of it? If you will hire a contractor for your renovation will you hire the highest priced one or one who quotes an average or low price?
Q: What is the best way to manage home renovation costs?
A: The best way to manage home renovation costs is to plan and prepare for your renovation well ahead of time. The more decisions you make before the project starts on the materials you will use the more smoothly your project will run. When you sign the contract with your renovation contractor ensure that it is for a fixed amount and has all the materials listed.
How do I check up on a contractor before I hire?
The first step in checking up on a contractor before you hire is to ask around -- talk to people you know who are likely to know the contractor or his/her reputation. Check with the State Department of Commerce or the State licensing Bureau. Verify that the contractor is certified and licensed. ...

If having a screen isn't a priority, the Jawbone Up24's superb app, clever advice, and comfy fit are hard to resist.
The Toshiba Satellite S55t-A5277 comes close to being a great mainstream slim gaming laptop, but it's undone by an unimpressive display.
The Toshiba Satellite L505-ES5018 is about the cheapest dual-core laptop that you'll find, and it provides a predictably basic feature set, but boasts competitive performance, respectable battery life, and zero bloatware.
Pricing not available
The Lexmark Impact S305's low price tag, simple setup, and straightforward features are sure to draw in budget customers with intermittent printing needs. With extra features like wireless printing and a media card reader, the Impact earns a solid recommendation.
While it's hard to argue with a $330 laptop, the old-fashioned-looking L455-S5975 cuts some serious corners to get you a package that will suit only basic users.
The Samsung TL320's myriad shooting options make it a very good dSLR companion, but the photo quality and performance are definitely those of a point-and-shoot camera.
The Toshiba Satellite A305-S6905 offers good value as a middle-of-the-road mainstream laptop, but for an extra $150, a step-up Toshiba model offers more RAM and dedicated graphics.
If you need a basic laptop, the Toshiba Satellite L305D-5934 is a respectable option, but a little more money will easily net you more computer.
Pricing not available
The Toshiba Satellite A305-S6916 offers up a unique design, slightly better graphics performance than the competition, and a couple fun extras that make paying more for it worthwhile.
The Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7825 delivers a broad, 17.1-inch display at a low price, but at the cost of performance and battery life.

In addition to serving their entire community, Dr. Jonathan M. Tuman and his staff at Bay Harbor Complete Dentistry specialize in providing dental services and facial rejuvenation. That includes general services such as checkups, restorative procedures such as implants and veneers, and cosmetic treatments such as Zoom! teeth whitening, which helps the Tooth Fairy find your pearly whites in the dark. To help patients feel at ease during the appointments, Dr. Tuman can administer several different types of anesthesia, including IV sedation.
Moving away from the teeth and gums, Bay Harbor's staffers can also help diminish the appearance of wrinkles with Botox injections and Ultherapy.
When they're examining teeth, the trio of dentists at Premiere Dental Care Center aren't just thinking about the mouth?they're thinking about the rest of the patient, too. That's because they recognize the relationship between oral health and the body. During consultations, they explain how stress can cause cavities, plaque can lead to heart problems, and loose lips can sink ships. Then they meticulously examine teeth in search of decay and other ailments, taking into account activities that can impede oral health, such as smoking.

Pro Tip: Teeth [can] be 3?8 shades whiter after the first 30-minute treatment
As a member of the American Dental Association, Dr. Martin Leon has been enhancing smiles since 1987. Invisalign straightens crooked chompers with a combination of highly advanced, 3-D computer graphics and the spells of old-fashioned orthodontia. The Invisalign process eschews cumbersome braces for clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible to the unclothed eye. An initial 30-minute exam, including x-rays, photos, and impressions of your mouth terrain, paves the way for a flurry of calibrated teeth sheaths that are designed to slowly shift walnut crackers into perfect alignment. View some Invisalign FAQs here.
The custom-molded dental trays made by Snow Teeth Whitener are designed to whiten teeth quickly using a proprietary bleaching gel and LED light that enhances the results. The trays work to remove stains left after years of drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, or gargling toner. Snow Teeth Whitener products are safe for use with veneers, caps, and crowns as well.
At Sunny Isles Dental, Dr. George Georgiev helms a dedicated team to stave off and repair all manner of mouth-related issues. Their first and foremost priority is preventative procedures?including dental exams and oral cancer screenings?that keep chompers in top condition. They also perform restorative treatments, such as implants and crowns, and address cosmetic concerns with teeth-whitening treatments and porcelain veneers. To help people overcome their fears of going to the dentist, they specialize in anxiety-free dentistry with nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation.

This Week In Discs: Abraham Lincoln and Magic Mike Hunt Vampires in an Invisible War at the End of the World
Features By Rob Hunter on October 22, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs… now on Mondays for your reading pleasure one day early! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Isn't Anyone Alive? It's afternoon on a college campus, and as the students chat about urban myths, employees go about their business and strangers pass through the area something begins to happen. They all begin to die. One by one they fall to the ground coughing and writhing in pain, but the conversations continue on around them. Director Gakuryu Ishii and screenwriter Shirô Maeda (adapting his own play) have delivered a film guaranteed to turn off 90% of viewers with its shifting tones, slow pace and lack of easy answers, but the 10% who stick with it will find a surreal gem exploring the things we share with each other and the things we keep secret. Dark, absurd humor exists alongside moments of real beauty, and the ending in particular is an affecting glimpse at true loneliness. [Extras: None]
This Week In DVD: Rachel McAdams Forgets Channing Tatum, Horror Films Forget to Be Scary and Mr. Roarke Forgets It's After Labor Day
Features By Rob Hunter on May 8, 2012 | Comments (2)Welcome back to This Week In DVD! Sadly, this is one of the worst week for new releases in decades. Decades I say! Well, in weeks anyway. Some of the mediocre titles coming out this week include the occasionally entertaining Underworld: Awakening, the frustratingly uninteresting Mother's Day remake, the low-rent Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, and Channing Tatum's funniest film yet, The Vow. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. The Front Line War films are a staple here in the US, something that's benefited by the fact that America has dozens of wars to choose from, but not every country is as lucky (or unlucky). South Korea was a part of only one major conflict in the modern era, but out of this trauma have come several fantastic war films including 71: Into the Fire and My Way. The Front Line is the latest and also one of the best as it focuses on one of the war's final battles. Both the South and the North struggle to capture and recapture a particular hill as the final hours of the war wind down, but as the clock ticks forward the men (and woman) discover there's far more at stake here than a simple plot of land. Director Hun Jang finds real suspense and spectacular battlefield action amidst the stories between friends, enemies and countrymen.
