Our findings are a mix of free and paid-for satnav apps, as well as a handful of innovative navigation apps for finding where you parked your car, what time your flight is or for finding shortcuts around traffic in the local area.
1. NavFree
This simple but feature-rich free app supports voice directions and speeding/traffic enforcement camera detection, in addition to the usual search and navigation options. The app also offers the ability to send your location to friends via Google and a Wi-Fi connection.
2. Skobbler
This $0.99 iPad app has some neat features including the chance to view maps offline, get directions to people on your contact list, and to listen to your music library. There is also a night mode, which inverses the map colours. Skobbler offers simple navigation, voice output, longitude, latitude as well as speed and estimated time and mileage to destination.
3. Co-Pilot Live
For those who want something a bit more, there are tablet-optimized apps from both Co-Pilot Live and TomTom.
Co-Pilot Live has recently had an overhaul to become more tablet friendly, for both Android and iOS. Different versions of Co-Pilot are available across the US and Europe and ALK, the company behind the apps, claims to now offer more information layers and a details bar on the right hand-side, making better use of tablet screens.
The app offers conventional satnav controls, as well as the ability to do Wikipedia searches for your destination. Co-Pilot Live is available on both the iPad and for Android tablets and is reasonably priced at $29.99. Do note that this app only works with the 3G iPad.
4. TomTom
TomTom is perhaps the biggest player in the satellite navigation area, and like ALK, has a raft of apps for North America and Europe, among other regions. The iPhone app was recently upgraded for iPad optimization, with version 1.9 now promising to offer improved maps on the sharper display and user interface of the iPad.
This version is compatible with iOS 5 and also promises more accurate info about fixed speed camera locations, improved details on points of interests, and the chance to switch driving views with just one touch from anywhere within the app. Additional in-app purchases, like two minute traffic updates and Speed Camera alerts, are also available for a small additional fee. The app supports Wi-Fi and 3G iPads but is costly at $49.99.
Travel Enhancements
Outside of the traditional satellite navigation tablet apps, a raft of non-satnav apps can also improve your journey, if not your travel times.
5. GPark
This is a fantastic, yet simple, app with a singluar purpose: finding where you left your car. Images are based on Google Maps, Google Earth (satellite) or a hybrid view of both and users simply have to press the 'park me' button to 'park' your car and the 'where did I park?' button for the car's location. The app can then give you directions to the parked location. Best of all, GPark is free.
6. Waze
A free, fun and useful app which you can use to beat the traffic, waze allows drivers to tweet traffic news to local drivers, or connect to Facebook to see who is 'Wazing'. Waze is a neat way of alerting others about traffic news, jams, police hazards and speed traps, and will route you around blocked up areas nearby to you. Probably not a good idea to use while driving though.
7. Aug SatNav
Sometimes, you need directions for short distances, especially when you are in unfamiliar territory. This is where AugSatNav comes in; it's a US-only app that uses an augmented reality to navigate the user, rather than a map. This app is available for free and is for Android smartphones and tablets.
8. FlightTrack Pro
This app is for those who need to know quickly which gate to run to and when. The app, which costs $9.99 for the iPad and which is also available for Android smartphones, advises the user on terminal delays, weather conditions and even allows you to track and zoom in on the live map.
9. My Vacation HD for iPad
Finishing off the list is this interesting little app, which is more of a travel-based journal, than an out-and-out navigation tool. It's a great central repository for logging photos, places you've visited (on the map) and a journal from your holiday. The app is now available from iTunes for $4.99.

Hi, I am going to start a water fast tomorrow, monday july 9th, for an undetermined length of time. My goal is to heal a long term swollen inguinal lymph node and beautify my skin. This will be my 3rd water fast. My previous 2 were short, a 10 day and a 5 day. I achieved great results with those, the lymph node pain went away and my skin started to become clear. I want to go longer this time to achieve full healing. My skin issues are mild acne with old cystic acne scarring, an over all redness, which is inflammation, some melasma, age spots, wrinkles, roughness, spider veins, a skin tag, and stretch marks. I just turned 40 years old and I dont want to give up my bikini or mini dresses! I know I can heal these issues through fasting, and I believe that when the skin is clear and beautiful it is a sign of internal health.

E.T. Counseling
Gotta love 'em. For his saftey and my sanity. ;o) Hope.
Every wonder if they have 1stSgts in space?
Below is a counseling sheet I imagine would have been written by E.T.'s 1stSgt if he had one. And yes they tend to be written by 1stSgts and signed by Commanding Officers. Go figure.
I was inspired by a writing assignment I saw surfing the web:
Whilst visiting an alien world to collect plant samples, one of your crew ran afoul of the local sentient life, forcing you to cut short the mission and then subsequently mount a rescue attempt to retrieve said crew member. Write the discipline report for the crew member, whom the local sentients labeled as E.T.
So without further ado…
You are hereby counseled this date that you are eligible but not recommended for promotion this period due to a physical fitness deficiency directly resulting in your near capture by a primitive species.
This is your third counseling concerning your complacency and lackadaisical attitude toward your duties as Imperial Reconnaissance Sample Collector while conducting a planet-side mission performing preliminary Collections and Observation Operations in support of proposed future invasion by Grand Imperial Armed Forces. You also have been previously counseled that you exceed the weight standards as dictated by the Grand Imperial Medical Administration and have not met acceptable physical capability requirements.
During your recent reconnaissance mission you violated protocol in that you wandered further than 25 meters away from your sample collection team. When the mission was compromised by counter reconnaissance forces your lack of physical fitness resulted in your failure to promptly make liftoff and endangered the rest of your team. Your subsequent execution of the evasion plan was laughable at best and violated numerous articles of the Imperial Code of War. These include unauthorized absence; open communications on an unencrypted channel; violation of light discipline; conduct unbecoming an Imperial Servant; and you even managed to somehow gain weight, further violating the Bodyweight Composition Protocols.
It is forecast by the Imperial Operations and Invasion Administration that your questionable conduct has given the impression that the Grand Imperial Armed Forces are a troop of waddling, obese, space penguins (Ea-Tee in the primitive dialect) and are incapable of glorious conquest. Further ramifications of your irresponsible behavior have yet to be calculated and are preempting the invasion indefinitely.
You are required to immediately report to the Imperial Chastiser upon conclusion of this counseling.
Signed,Grand Imperial Commander Throm G.H.

A.W.O.L: A Warrior on Liberty
I have no interest in making any decisions, thinking, or anything resembling taking responsibility for myself or anyone else. Waiters and staff are making all decisions for me:
"Sir, would you like to try our…"
"Yes, I would."
Still getting over the time difference. Was a walking corpse early last night and crashed around 9pm. Instantly awake at 1am and finally crawled out of the rack at 03. Breakfast doesn't start until 0630. Man! It will take a couple more days to transform back into something resembling a human being. In the meantime I will still appear as some kind of specter roaming the grounds of the resort at odd hours. Oh well, I guess I'll do some pushups.
Will also take a stab at recounting the joyous adventure which was our 3 to 4 day flight home and hope to post that soon.
Thanks for the welcome home gang!

Out of Dodge
The answer to that question is; no I don't. I will not believe I am actually leaving until the plane is wheels up and is in another time zone. Why? Because the potential for something to go wrong always hovers about menacingly. If you recall our trip here was an interesting experience and merely getting on a plane is no guarantee that bird will take off. Consider how many stories we've heard in the past about commercial planes being stranded on runways and passengers not allowed off the plane?
So the next few days will be a litany of checking, checking, rechecking, double-tapping, following through, and reconfirming things like manifests, equipment density lists, flight times, room inspections, personnel accountability, movement from our current living area to a temporary one, movement from that area to the flight line, moving all our stuff to customs, enduring customs (which can't be as bad as actually being a customs agent I am sure).
Looking ahead at my schedule I see that about ten hours before our flight we will be receiving our customs brief and then doing a slow, agonizing sea bag drag through customs and then wait around the rest of our lives for our flight. So if our flight were to take off at 10 am we would be getting our customs brief at midnight (yes, we would actually do it that way) where we would be informed that yes, we can bring our machine gun back to the USA but not that double headed battle axe. Real bummer.
On top of it all everything is subject to change at no notice.
I will, of course, be recounting this experience in morbid detail so you can all share in it.
Semper Fi!

Oh the pressure!
Hmmmmmmmmm…what are we doing lately? Anything significant?
Well, turnover with the unit replacing us is taking place as we get ready to transition ourselves out of here. After the formal Transition Of Authority (TOA) I'm sure I will have some choice things to recount as we sit around in tents waiting for flights to whisk us away (Brains! Brains!).
Oh! I think it's Ice Cream Sundae night at DFAC 1. I'll submit my report tomorrow.

Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance (and zombies).
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The University of Florida's response plans for a zombie apocalypse are no longer available for public consumption. University spokesman Steve Orlando said Friday the university removed a link to a disaster recovery exercise, which detailed how the school could respond to an outbreak of the undead. The link was taken down late Thursday afternoon. Orlando says officials felt the joke "didn't really belong" on the site, which also included plans for dealing with hurricanes and pandemics. The exercise lays out the university's response to attacks by "flesh-eating, apparently life impaired individuals." It notes that a zombie outbreak might include "documentation of lots of strange moaning." Orlando says the employee who wrote the gag wasn't punished, saying that it was written by an employee to "add a little bit of levity" to disaster preparation discussions.
The fools!
We have a saying in the Corps: Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance (and zombies). While I applaud the university on its disaster recovery planning in the event of an emergency, I think it is utterly irresponsible of them to eliminate the zombie apocalypse scenario from their disaster preparation training. Not to mention inconsiderate to those who will no doubt be summoned to rescue these people from their lack of foresight.
That's right; you heard me.
As soon as The University of Florida is inundated with shambling hordes of undead, everyone is going to say what they have said for over 234 years: Send in the Marines! No doubt America's 1stSgt would have the dubious pleasure of being at the forefront of this rescue mission when personally, I would probably like nothing better than to witness a campus of university elites be devoured by a tidal wave of zombies.
I mean who wouldn't?
Instead, the lives of thousands of response personnel will be at stake because this bastion of so called higher learning arrogantly believes that a zombie plague is a mere joke and not worth their intellectual time to consider combating.
When planning for emergencies I have found one thing to be immutably true: If your plan is zombie proof then you will be ready for any emergency imaginable. Think about it.
And for the record, if you're with me and you get bitten by a zombie, it is my standard operating procedure to immediately ventilate your cranium. No speeches, no tearful goodbyes, no holding on to every second of precious life while I wait around for the infection to transform you into a ravening flesh eater. Nope, just one to dome then I take your water and ammo and bail out of there. I'll cry later. Really.
Remember, during the zombie apocalypse, only head shots count.

Flying Zombies, the worst kind…
What it does mean is another round of the rigmarole of airline hassles and other foolishness. If you think TSA is bad then you have never tried to move a company or more of Marines through military customs. At least the agents are slimmer.
This is what my Marines endured on our latest flight; and here they thought they were getting out of here early:
With much elation and enthusiasm the boys threw their gear on trucks to head on over to the flight line. Anytime Marines are seen loading vehicles it summons Army types like locusts: "You guys RIPing out? Got a TV or fridge you want to sell?" Before I could loudly remind our fellow servicemen that we weren't having a freakin' yard sale the Marines shooed them away (more than likely told them to come back later and ask for so-and-so).
After this there was the check, check, and recheck of the multiple pieces serialized gear that each Marine is carrying. The verification of possession of these items is repeated throughout the going home process and if it doesn't happen the gear fairies magically transport any unaccounted for equipment to a vortex in an unknown dimension. Then I get to choke people.
Billeting at the flight line is merely there to remind servicemen that they are not home yet and serve as a pen to hold them in place while they watch other people board flights back to planet Earth. After spending the day lounging on cots watching planes take off they gathered up all their trash again around midnight and shuffled over to customs.
The customs experience when leaving Iraq is one of the singular highlights in anyone's military career. Not only does it mark the end of your deployment but it is also similar to undergoing oral surgery minus the anesthesia (which my Battalion Surgeon describes as malpractice so I think it aptly illustrates the point). The hapless Marines and Sailors drag everything they own behind them waiting to present their bags to the customs agents. These particular individuals are of course absolutely enthused to be pawing through a bunch of Marine's dirty underwear; again. Everything is dumped on a table in front of the agent and gets a serious once over to find anything that isn't supposed to leave country. These include man-packed flame throwers, ballista, bootlegged DVDs, and any nuclear devices.
Thanks to over 234 years of natural selection, Marines have developed a well honed sense of humor. In this particular instance one of our more straight laced and wound tight Lieutenants was the target. Imagine Felix Ungar as a Marine Officer and you get the picture. Some of his fellow LTs decided, correctly, that it would be pretty funny to plant a cache of bootleg pornography into his pack. Now I am no advocate of porn but I still find this absolutely hilarious.
His response to being caught by the female customs agent (who was in on the prank) was priceless: "But that's not mine! THAT IS NOT MINE!" Just the thought of his entire body clenching in futility makes my day that much brighter. He is also the kind that failed to see how funny that actually was.
After the inspection everything (minus porn) is haphazardly rammed back into sea bags and loaded on to a pallet. Everyone is then herded back to the tents to await the freedom bird to land, or so one would think.
The first sign of trouble for our guys was when word came down that the plane needed to be repaired in Germany. This would delay the flight for a day. The next day it was announced that the original plane was not going to fly at all and a new plane was going to have to be sourced to take our guys home. Considering the lowest bidders get all the jobs we wondered aloud if there was a shortage of duct tape and bubble gum in Germany with which to repair the plane.
Sourcing a new plane meant that the flight would be delayed at least a week now. All the Marine's extra uniforms, underwear, sleeping bags, etc, were on the pallets waiting to be loaded on an aircraft that wasn't coming. They were given the option of having access to their gear but of course then they would have to endure customs again. Everyone decided that it wasn't worth taking that many years off their lives again just to have a sleeping bag. So for seven more days they froze their butts off at night in the tents because in the American military air conditioning can only be set on 'arctic' or 'supernova'. In the meantime a number of us were hustling Supply to get them some extra t-shirts and maybe some sheets to sleep in.
Each day at 1600 they gathered around the dejected flight commander in charge of our personnel only to hear they were stranded for another night. Morosely the living dead would return to their cots contemplating what level of violence would be required to actually get a plane to land in their vicinity. They were stuck for so long that Marines actually went on line to look up information on the carrier that was supposed to fly them. By the time they actually left the Marines were able to recite how many planes were in their fleet and what types of aircraft there were. Apparently working aircraft wasn't one of them.
Finally the carrier was able to cobble together a working aircraft to bring our guys home in. Hastily Marines washed their cammies in the sink and hung them up to dry. Angry wives who had been expecting their husbands were placated with phone calls home (We're not sure why but spouses tend to think we're all out here playing beach blanket bingo and having fun without them). One more round of equipment accountability preceded an excruciatingly slow boarding process while the ground crew got around to winding up the rubber bands powering the propellers.
TAKE OFF! The experienced traveler knows not to believe that he is actually going anywhere until the plane actually takes off. Otherwise he'll never be prepared for an experience like this [link to other flight post].
Thirty-six hours of travel later and despite the bird landing safely the adventure is still not over. No one goes anywhere until all that serialized gear is turned in and counted. Of course there is always that one guy (in my experience usually a lieutenant) who packed a piece of serialized gear in his sea-bag despite being told 4,000 times not to. After this numb skull fishes out the item to be accounted for then and only then is everyone allowed crash unmolested in their own beds for a couple days of liberty.
I did not travel with that particular flight but I can imagine that by the time they were all through they were only interested in one thing: someone with brains…BRAINS!

Health assessments make us all crazy…
I sincerely desire to go on a five state killing spree and charge all expenses to my Government Travel Credit Card.
If you check Strongly Agree they may want to come back for a follow up.
Currently we are in the midst of the glorious Post Deployment Health Assessment. This is to asses our state of health after deployment in support of military operations and to assist military healthcare providers in identifying and providing present and future medical care we may need. The information we provide may result in a referral for additional healthcare that may include medical, dental or behavioral healthcare or diverse community support services (this is pretty much all plagiarized right off the questionnaire).
Some of the questions simply ask how you would rate your health, if you had been injured or sick during the deployment, and whether or not you have any emotional problems, etc.
As America's 1stSgt filled out his assessment the building veritably shook with the deafening running commentary that accompanies nearly everything that goes on in the company office.
For any of the following symptoms, please indicate whether you went to see a healthcare provider, were given light/limited duty (Profile), and whether you are still bothered by the symptom now.
Fever- NO!
Cough lasting more than 3 weeks.- NO! I guess that two week phlegm festival I had doesn't rate!
Trouble breathing- NO!
Bad headaches- I'm having one right now!
Generally feeling weak- I've never been weak a day in my life!
Muscle aches- NO!
Swollen stiff or painful joints- Is this the geriatric test or what?
Back pain- NO!
Numbness in hands or feet- NO!
Trouble hearing- Can YOU hear me now!
Ringing in the ears- Why do you think I turn off the phone?
Watery, red eyes- Only after I watch Sands of Iwo Jima!
Dimming of vision- NO!
Dizzy, light headed- NO!
Diarrhea- Well I haven't had a solid one in seven months!
Vomiting- I can taste it right now!
Frequent indigestion/heartburn- Have you eaten here?
Problems sleeping- Only when idiots knock on my door!
Trouble concentrating- What was the question?
Forgetful or trouble remembering things- If I didn't write it down then it never happened!
Hard to make up your mind or make decisions- No, it's hard to get anyone to listen!
Increased irritability- You're kidding me!
After the entire battalion does this questionnaire on line they line up daily outside the Battalion Aid Station where they shuffle past the Battalion Surgeon's desk like POWs answering a battery of questions the majority of which are answered with a sigh and resounding, No Sir or What! Why would I want to kill myself? I've been eating ice cream three meals a day for the past seven months.
The only thing that could possibly be more banal is being the poor guy that has to ask these questions to over 1200 Marines and Sailors. My sit down with the battalion surgeon went like this:
Swaggering into the office I found my doctor had begun to slump down the back of his chair in despondency and could barely be seen over his monitor.
"You ready to get this over with 1stSgt?"
"Is that one of the questions sir?"
Anything resembling humor had completely evaporated from his system 400 interviews ago. By now he had more or less degenerated into a bio-mechanical automaton whose fist had grown around the mouse on his desk forever chaining him to the demon possessed machine residing there.
"Do you have any medical or dental problems that have developed over the deployment?"
"I may have chipped a tooth while repeatedly head-butting the corner of my desk." This comment completely missed his funny bone as the nerves surrounding it had turned necrotic and died.
"Over the past month have you been bothered by thoughts that you would be better off dead or hurting yourself?"
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. You do realize who you're talking to right?" At this point I was just another social security number the idea of America's 1stSgt having been completely burned from his memory.
"Over the past month have you been bothered by thoughts that you would hurt someone else?" The sound of my breath hissing through clenched teeth finally got his attention. His head lolled in my direction.
"Oh! No."
"During this deployment have you sought or do you intend to seek counseling or care for your mental health?" Having had Marines in the past with PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury this issue isn't one I normally joke about as my feelings concerning it are rather passionate.
Considering how much violence we endured this deployment though (that is to say NONE), it was the question that made me roll my eyes.
"Do you have concerns about possible exposures or events during this deployment which you feel may affect your health?"
This is the question that my medical professionals just love to ask as there are always a few Jarheads that are worried about the effects of being exposed to the Electronic Counter Measures devices on their vehicles or concerned about how many metric tons of dust they may have inhaled over the last seven months. These are usually the same ones who have no issue with having a cell phone surgically attached to their face or smoking five packs of cancer sticks a day.
The conclusion of the Post Deployment Health Assessment is by no means the end of the story though. Much like sequels to bad horror films, health assessments rise again and again. Some months after we get back there will be the Post Deployment Health Re-Assessment where we will answer all the same questions again. This is ends with one or two of the medical Corpsmen being staked in the heart to ensure they don't become one of the living dead.
Then of course there is the Periodic Health Assessment which the military does with or without a deployment. At the rate we deploy now days I could be asked as many as five times in a year by a medical professional if I'm OK without there ever being any sign that anything is wrong with me in the first place. A lot of times the deployment schedule is such that the Re-Assessment for the last deployment and Pre-Assessment for the next one are conducted at the same time. How's that for mind bending?
The next time I hear an "expert" on some news network talk about how we're not doing enough to identify troops with medical, dental, or mental health issues I will openly wonder if he has ever had to interview an entire battalion five times in a year.
Even now there are units experiencing fare more strenuous and combative deployments than we are this trip. With any luck the health assessments coupled with assertive leadership will be able to identify those who haven't realized they need help or too stubborn to seek it themselves. If it were a simple matter of paperwork we'd all be inoculated by now.
Semper Fidelis,
America's 1stSgt

I have tried disabling the firewall ,etc. The only time I can get the internet on the cable box connected PC to work is when I reset the router.

I can understand problems with the PS3 but the blackberry and the laptops were (and still are) able to connect using WPS on my previous router - WAG54G2.

Busy busy busy.
Feeling high one minute and down the next.
I am feeling sad about my old friend from Quill.
She is 87 and not in good health but seems to be no better recently.
I visited her in hospital last year but have not had much interaction with her because she is not able to have visitors, with one problem and another with her health.
I still think of Donnie and Jim left Quill suddenly.
So now my friend is not so good at the moment.
Hoping and praying she will come good.
Lost a friend to cancer in March.
She was only the same age as me and it seemed to come on suddenly, from Christmas time.
It is the same old story.
Say you are going to visit and never do it and then it is too late.
If I had known she was ill with cancer,I would have been up there like a shot.
But never knew till it was too late.
Good stuff on the horizon is the band concert.
Forth Bridges Accordion Band is having two concerts in May.
One is in Falkirk Town Hall on the 15th May and the other in Bo'ness Old Parish Church on the 12th May.
I am going to be in it this year.
Also, myself and some other members are showcasing their other talents.
Me I am going to say what the band means to me and recite a poem I composed.
Others include, three family members playing their fiddles, dancing, singing on an electronic organ and another young member playing the electronic organ.
Other young ones will be introducing different sections.
I am going to be in a smaller section of the band as well when the second half starts.
We will be playing on our accordions two hymns.
Nearer my God to thee and What A Friend We Have In Jesus.
Can't wait.
We have done one rehearsel and it is fantastic.
Well worth coming along, believe me.
As I say, busy, busy, busy.
Mood up and down like a yo yo.

text: blog postsFun events in Champaign-UrbanaApr 22, 2013 2:56 pm by Tracey SmolenSpring is such an exciting time both on campus and in the Champaign-Urbana area. This past weekend was the 15th annual Ebertfest - the Roger Ebert Film Festival at the Virginia Theater in downtown Champaign. The festival promotes small, independent films. I didn't get a chance to go see a film this weekend, but I went with a few friends last year. We went and saw a documentary called "Funny Business" - because it featured business men running comedy clubs in Chicago. This upcoming weekend is the Illinois marathon! There is always a lot of buzz about the marathon because so many students participate in both the half and the full - I went to go to see friends cross the finish line last year and I plan on doing the same thing this weekend. Last weekend was Moms Weekend - both my parents came down to participate in campus festivities. We went and saw the musical Hairspray that was put on by the Illini Union Board and ate dinner at Wedge - my new favorite Mexican restaurant off campus (try the chicken or fish tacos!). These are just a few things going on around campus, Champaign-Urbana is a really awesome area to explore. My friends and I are trying to make the most of our time before we graduate on Saturday, May 11th! GO ILLINI!

Velocardiofacial Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Velocardiofacial Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Velocardiofacial syndrome, (VCFS), a rare genetic disorder, is characterized by abnormalities of the head and facial (craniofacial) area, heart defects that are present at birth (congenital heart defects), diminished muscle tone (hyptonia), mild small stature, slight delays in the acquisition of skills requiring the coordination of mental and muscular activities (psychomotor retardation), and learning disabilities. Some of those affected also develop psychiatric problems.
The syndrome is associated with many different features, and not all will be present in every case. Cleft palate (an opening in the roof of the mouth) and characteristic facial features are among the most common features found with this syndrome.
The heart defect most often associated with velocardiofacial syndrome is an abnormal opening in the fibrous partition (septum) that separates the heart's two lower chambers (ventricular septal defect). Additional symptoms and findings often associated with the disorder may include eye (ocular) defects such as clouding of the lenses of the eyes (cataracts) and/or abnormalities of blood vessels in the nerve-rich membranes lining the eyes (tortuous retinal vessels). Psychiatric problems may vary as well, from moderate behavioral change to severe bipolar mood swings or schizophrenia. The range and severity of symptoms vary greatly from case to case.
Velocardiofacial syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic trait and is sometimes known as chromosome 22q11 deletion spectrum because it is associated with multiple identifying features known to occur as a result of a deletion of genetic material on chromosome 22. This syndrome is also associated with other names (see synonyms).

'Inside Information': Uruguay, Costa Rica, Argentina
dds that your National Team makes it
Biggest strength of your national team? |
Our defense and our counter attacks. |
Where might they be vulnerable? |
Offensively, we are missing several key players and playing against strong teams we might have some trouble scoring. |
Keys to making it out of the Group? |
Holding our defensive shape and defeating Uruguay in the first game of the group stage. |
If you've ever trained or played at the National Level what was it like? |
It was really good. The level of the competitions is really high and the competition among players is great. |
Do you think your Country will win the World Cup? |
I can only dream. Everything is possible. |
Biggest strength of your national team? |
Argentina is very dangerous in transition, and they have lots of speed. We also are very good up front when it comes to taking defenders on 1v1. |
Where might they be vulnerable? |
The back line and the goalkeeping position. |
Odds that your National Team makes it to the Round of 16? |
90% |
Keys to making it out of the Group? |
Focus on not conceding any goals, and score early on in games. I know it sounds simple, but I think that is what it comes down to. |
Do you think your Country will win the World Cup? |
Yes, I do. I think we will win our first two games, and then rest our attacking players in the third game to keep them fresh for the next round. We need to keep the back line playing so that they have as much time together as possible. That will give them confidence. |

Members of Student MOVE at Buena Vista University will be making a presentation at the National Collegiate Leadership Conference in Tucson, Ariz., this month.
Student MOVE (Mobilizing Outreach and Volunteer Efforts) is the student advisory board to the Office of Civic Engagement and coordinates organized student volunteer activities on and off campus. The conference will be held on the University of Arizona campus Feb. 15-17.
The students who will be attending the conference are:
The students' presentation is entitled "Becoming a Super Hero in a Civic World." Their presentation proposes that any "ordinary" college student has the necessary qualities to be the "Superman" or "Wonder Woman" of their own community by leading the way to civic engagement. The interactive presentation applies Social Change Theory to thoroughly examine the necessary attributes of a developing leader. The presenters will also elaborate on the importance of service as a vehicle of leadership.
Dr. Ashley Farmer-Hanson, director of civic engagement, will also make a presentation entitled "Leading an Organization to Make a Big Bang!"

Williams Tsien Wins Chicago Competition
Editor's note: To listen to a five-minute interview with architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien about the University of Chicago commission, click below.

Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, the husband-and-wife team based in New York City, bested a who's-who roster of competitors to design a new arts center for the University of Chicago, the school announced last week. The other finalists were Fumihiko Maki and Associates, Hans Hollein, Morphosis, and Studio Daniel Libeskind.
The university's Reva and David Logan Center for Creative and Performing Arts will be located on Midway Plaisance, at the southern edge of campus. This area was the site of Chicago's 1893 World's Fair and is now home to mid-century Modern masterpieces by Mies van der Rohe and Eero Saarinen.
Although Williams and Tsien have had much success designing museums and campus buildings, they say this project is the most challenging commission to date because it demands a design that will nurture collaboration between the arts. "We're trying to break the paradigm of these different, separate pursuits, ways of making art," Tsien explains, "and make a new place that encourages a complete dissolution of these boundaries."
Their building's exact size is yet to be determined, but Williams and Tsien's design features five interlocking boxy structures, clad in glass, that afford separate but connected spaces for the various arts. A glass-encased lobby will serve as a "mixing box" where users of the building's theaters, studios, and exhibition space can cross paths. A six-story tower at the complex's center will house lecture halls and rehearsal rooms, as well as recreation amenities including a yoga-nap room, ping-pong tables, and a half-basketball court. Topped with a partially retractable roof, the tower's upper floors can be turned into a terrace with a view of Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan.
Known for their meticulous attention to materials, as evidenced by buildings such as the American Folk Art Museum in Manhattan, Williams and Tsien propose that the base of the main building and tower be clad in large-panel stone to reinforce the structure's dignity. Above these spaces, a glass curtain wall will be illuminated at night to project the building as a beacon and allow glimpses of the creative life inside. Expected to cost $100 million, the arts center is scheduled to open by 2011.

I'm pleased to announce that our new paper, "Comparing Methodologies for IT Risk Assessment and Analysis," is now available to Gartner for Technical Professionals subscribers! This research represents a few months of work, including many interviews with method owners and method implementers. The research process was quite fascinating and led to some unique insights.
"Technical professionals are often asked to research, recommend, implement and execute IT risk assessment and analysis processes. Here we compare and contrast common methodologies, highlighting attributes that readily integrate with risk management programs, as well as scale and evolve over time."
Methods compared: FAIR, ISACA COBIT 5, ISF IRAM, ISO/IEC 31000:2009, MAGERIT, NIST SP 800-30, OCTAVE Allegro, and RiskSafe by Platinum Squared Technologies (it's a SaaS-based approach)
Most surprising finding: all the risk assessment methods (we did differentiate between assessment and analysis), with possible exception of COBIT 5, are converging on ISO 31000. As such, there's incredible parity between approaches, which means choosing an approach can be easier or harder depending on one's sensitivities.
In terms of guidance for clients on selecting an approach, we've provided several recommendations in the paper to help make the process easier. We hope you'll find that to be the case!

Former Toon Coach Backs Mark Hughes!
Former Newcastle United assistant manager Iain Dowie believes Mark Hughes deserves more time at the helm to give the players he has brought into the club a chance to gel.
The man who was Alan Shearer's right-hand man when we were relegated, says Hughes is the man for the job despite Saturday's 3-1 loss against Southampton which left QPR four points adrift at the bottom of the Premier League table.
Iain Dowie: "Mark's a very experienced manager and he'll understand that when you don't get results you come under pressure.
"But with the sheer number of players that have come in, it takes time to gel.
"I felt they were outplayed on Saturday and that will be the big disappointment for Mark and his coaching staff. Southampton looked the more creative side, which will be a big concern.
"Sometimes when things aren't going your way people throw up the line about players not trying.
"When you look at the likes of (Ryan) Nelsen and (Jamie) Mackie, I think they do have players who'll demand effort. Mark's sides have always been that way."
