In April of this year, Tiger launched a fundraising campaign through Facebook to rally his army of fans around his mission of giving deserving students a shot at college. We are thrilled to announce that thanks to the generosity of Tiger's amazing fans, 10 more Scholars have been given the resources they need to attend college! Tiger matched each fan's donation, dollar for dollar, and after six weeks together, we raised nearly $100,000!
Overwhelmingly, most donations raised were $1, $5, $10 and $20, with donations coming from 12 countries around the world, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Norway, Italy, Germany, France, Ireland, Malaysia, Iceland and Singapore.
The Tiger Woods Foundation is pleased to welcome the new Scholars into an incredible program that provides financial assistance, prestigious internships, dedicated mentors and career-planning workshops. Currently, our Scholars are attending colleges like Harvard, UCLA, USC, Georgetown and UC Berkeley.
Both Tiger and the Scholars are so thankful for each and every donation made.
"There is an entire generation of young people whose pathway out of poverty is education," Woods said. "These are extremely talented kids, but they can't afford college. I'm lucky enough to be part of an incredible network of fans and supporters who have the ability to make a difference, and there are so many people who want to help."
We are excited to introduce to you our newest members of the Earl Woods Scholarship Program, all thanks to your support!

Police summoned a white magic practitioner to evaluate a young coconut believed to have been cursed by a black magic spell, after it was found near the Guraidhoo Island presidential election polling station in Kaafu Atoll.
Police told local media they took the coconut into their possession around 7:05am yesterday (September 3) after receiving a report that the suspicious 'kihah' (immature coconut) was located near the Guraidhoo Island School – the island's polling station for the September 7 presidential election.
The coconut was discovered near the school where the polling station is to be set up, Island Council Vice President Abdul Latheef Ahmed confirmed to local media.
"The police brought a 'ruqyah' practitioner (white magician) to examine the coconut, who said it was a fake," a police source told Minivan News today. "Because it's a fake the police are not worried," the source added.
No arrests have been made in the case, according to CNM.
"The four-inch coconut had a Sura [Qur'anic verse] written in Arabic and was lying on the ground near the school, easy for the public to see," said a source from Guraidhoo with knowledge of the incident.
"When school students saw the coconut they called the principal, who then contacted the police," he continued.
"It was not really 'fanditha' (black magic) on the coconut. If it was fanditha, there would have been Arabic letters and numbers written, not a Sura," he explained.
"It seems like it was a joke, just a prank, so that people will become aware, learn the moral, and not do it again," he noted, suggesting the coconut was a lesson for islanders not to practice black magic in an attempt to influence voting, and that the polling area would be closely monitored to prevent such activities from occurring.
"Now the police and school officials are more aware and police are patrolling the school at night, so magicians can't practice real black magic at the school," said the Guraidhoo source.
Currently nine police are stationed on Guraidhoo for the upcoming election. Normally only five officers are present.
Election fanditha
Using black magic to either prevent people from voting or influence them to vote for a particular party or candidate is common practice on Guraidhoo.
"Here for most of the elections people use black magic to win [elections]," said a source from Guraidhoo on condition of anonymity.
He recalled an incident where a black magic practitioner predicted a man would die because of the election.
"Then on the election day the 45 year-old man died and people said it was because of black magic," said the source.
In July, parents at Guraidhoo Island School refused to allow a polling station in the school for the upcoming presidential elections, due to concerns over black magic practiced by a local witch.
The parents alleged there was a witch on the island who, during previous elections, had cast spells to influence the outcome in favour of the Progressive Party of the Maldives (PPM) which had affected children after targeting the school premises.
"Girls in the school were getting headaches and having been fainting school for years," the island source explained.
The Elections Commission ultimately decided to place the ballot box inside Guraidhoo School despite parents' concerns, reported CNM.
Elections Commissioner Fuwad Thowfeek reassured the parents that the commission would take full responsibility if any black magic incidents occurred.

Fanditha is not black magic – black magic is sehuru. And, quite correctly, sehuru can not be done with a Sura from the Koran.

Such is the state of our electorate.
Building democracy requires that we build the knowledge base of the people to develop their capacity to think critically.
The underlying theme of this article is the gullibility of the common Maldivian. Imagine then how our campaigning is based and what sort of issues are bound to influence the outcome of the vote.
Down the line, if we are able to wrest control of the Education Development Center (EDC, the Faculty of Education (FE) at the Maldives National University and the teachers unions from islamic-fundamentalists (in whose hands those institutions now rest) then we may be able to steer the education system towards building the mental faculties and capacities that would establish real democracy in this country.
Currently the miniscule middle-class in this country are all dependent on political-party largesse therefore they feel no need to demand transparency, accountability and fairness. Once the people start advocating those principles, then and only then can we move away from the system of patronage that has made lazy idiots of our working class, corrupt robbers out of our middle class and amoral money-grubbers out of our rulers.

Be it 2013 or 4013, if gullible Dhivehistanis believe in imported Arab mythology, they can easily be fooled into thinking that coconuts with Arabic squiggles can influence presidential elections. Dhivehistanis are kept dumb and ignorant by the mullahs and the elite. Any one who dares to questions the status quo is forced to conform to the herd. Anyone who opposes authority is squashed under the boot-heel of the ruthless "sifain". So why are we at all surprised when villagers in an Indian Ocean archipelago believe in Semitic desert myths about genies?

Wow! You can't make this up. This is beyond stupidity.

Fanditha – comes from the Hindi/Sanskrit word 'Pandit' – meaning priest
Aadeetha (Sunday- in Dhivehi) – Refers to the Sun god, 'Aaditya' means Sun in Sanskrit
Homa (Monday- in Dhivehi) – Refers to the Moon and the rituals practised during full moon. Still done in Sri Lanka. Also refers to Hindu rituals
Buddhi ( Wisdom – in Dhivehi) – Refers to Buddha, the founder of Buddhism
Many ancient mosques in Maldives face the east rather than Mecca. There is a reason for this, the sun rises from the east. Ancient temples for pagan worship of the sun, later converted to Buddhist temples and in modern history to mosques.
The practise of fanditha, though Arabized is directly derived from Hindu rituals.
The Dhivehi language itself is derived from Sanskrit, the latin of South Asia. We share more with our 'idol worshipping' neighbours than we ever will with the Arabs.

Police should recruit people who practice magic to their forensic team and MNDF should also have a force of Black Magicians. We are moving back to the good old days.
True Maldives on Thu, 5th Sep 2013 3:08 AM
The fact that Minivan news has devoted time and space to this 'story' is an indication that Fanditha works.. How else could Minivan get caught in such an absurd story..
So, its not only Maldivains who believe in this sort of things and this is proof.

Don't clarify this. It's better to keep it in the mists of unknown, and have people gawk and install fear of this powerful source.
MissIndia NewDelhi on Thu, 5th Sep 2013 11:48 AM
As peasant has described above, a lot of you language, rituals and customs come from us civilised cow worshippers…..and not from the arabs. You share the same dumb belief as your Paki brothers that you are descendants of the arabs. Oh dear…..nothing could be further from the truth. You just cannot manipulate history to suit the teaching of your mad mullahs.
Your ancestors were not riding camels in the arabian desert poppets…..they were cannibals who embraced buddhism and much later islam.
This belief in black magic and rituals is proof of this…..also you still look short, fat and scary as though you've just feasted on some unfortunate christian missionary.
You cannot speed up human evolution…..maybe in five thousand years you may be as civilised and cultured as us hindus across the pond.

Don't you all worry cuz Gandalf the grey is on the way to Guraidhoo Island to watch & protect the presidential election. Merlin will be assign in Male' in case black magician will interrupt the election.

What a bitter sweet momentm in a way this article defines the dhivehi people and the mental meturity, ofcourse right down to the institution. Level. Ironically its proof that democracy is going to fail in Maldives. Better sweet for the same very few in the Maldives.
Its not important where the practices come from, it happens both in south asia and arabia as well.

Police summon white magic practitioner!
Give me strength.
It's so sad that modern-day preachers of Islam, especially the Imams in pathetically-poor and illiterate populations, are regressively evoking fears of the devil and condoning practices which were features of European and North American Christian societies 400 years ago. It makes me angry thinking about the waste of young lives and trillions of dollars that went into Iraq and Afghanistan in futile endeavours to establish democracy where nobody understands or wants it. The Maldives seems to be no different.
"Quick, name me a Muslim country that is truly democratic" You can't, can you!

We know that the DayZ Standalone version has managed to grab attention by selling over 800k units, but the developer Bohemia Interactive will continue to add features to it. New DayZ Standalone Update version 0.30.113953 has been released for the Game.
The update is expected to take care of certain issues like server crashes and delays in item manipulation along with adding new bits to the game like a time based dead player cleanup, a balancing of player spawns and miniscule things like the ability to open cans with M9130 Bayonet.
Here's the rundown on all the areas touched:
New Features
Do remember the DayZ Standalone alpha version is supposed to be for the hardcore gamers only, the ones who can bear the problems and help fixing it. If you are not one of those, it would be best if you wait for the game to shape up a bit more.
And if you are looking for the temporary fixes and workarounds, you can refer to our troubleshooting guide.

A Metairie man is in jail after he was caught with hundreds of counterfeit money orders.
State Police Troop B says investigators discovered a FedEx package containing 325 bogus money orders being sent to 54 year old Brian Kent.
It was sent from Nigeria.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out a controlled delivery of the package.
After Kent accepted the package, investigators searched his car and home.
About 700 counterfeit money orders and checks were recovered as well as a check scanning machine.
Kent is jailed on fraud, mail fraud and smuggling charges.

'We are heartbroken and furious!' Violence and the (anti-)globalisation movement(s)
Sullivan, Sian (2004) 'We are heartbroken and furious!' Violence and the (anti-)globalisation movement(s). Working Paper. Coventry: University of Warwick. Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation. (Working papers (University of Warwick. Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation)).

This is a much reworked and reoriented version of an earlier CSGR Working Paper (Sullivan 2004a). A somewhat shorter version is forthcoming as Chapter 10 in Maiguascha, B. and Eschle, C. (December 2004) Critical Theories, World Politics and 'the Anti-Globalisation Movement', London: Routledge. The piece began as an exploratory comment on militant discourse and practice within the '(anti-)globalisation movement(s)'. It emerged from my own process of sense-making regarding the experience of violently irruptive situations, as well as from my perceptions of the contextual causes of violence in these situations. My particular fascination has been the role(s) of affect – and particularly of the felt experiences of depression and anger – in drawing people to the decision to literally place their bodies and psyches in the path of violent police repression in protest events. In this version I open with data derived from 'observant participation' in a number of events to emphasise my embeddedness within activist communities and practice, and to clearly situate the bearing that my own subjective experience has on my interpretation of protest events and of 'anti-capitalist' praxis. In interpreting and analyzing emerging activist desires to assert agency through activism, I highlight two related conceptual arenas. 1. A thinking through of the biopolitical necessities and manifestations effected by Empire – the constrained locating of sovereignty in the global – which construct the body and psyche as the only viable and meaningful locales of resistance (cf. Hardt and Negri 2000 after Foucault e.g. 1998 (1976)). And 2., a consideration of the parallels between a growing global incidence of depressed and disengaged individual subjectivities and Giorgio Agamben's discourse on 'bare life' (e.g. 1994, 1998), i.e. human life stripped of citizenship as in refugees, asylum seekers, detainees etc.; and a concomitant understanding of affective depression as a locale from where is possible for 'new' dissenting subjectivities to emerge. My intention remains to problematise the dynamic relationships existing between a microcosm of individual circumstances that effect a range of violent practices from self-harm to militant activism, and the macrocosm of structural societal violence within which these are located. In doing so, I offer some reflections regarding what really constitutes radical political praxis in a context of late capitalist modernity, emphasising the continual effort to subvert modernity's assumed categories of the real, and the need for reflexivity in considering whether or not activist praxis simply mirrors, and thereby maintains, the violent biopower of Empire.

There are two programs that fall under this general heading. First, I will address the Concurrent Retirement and Disability Payment (CRDP). This program provides a 10-year phase-out of the offset to military retired pay due to receipt of VA disability compensation. To qualify the veteran must be retired from active duty or age 60 retired reserves that have a combined VA disability rating of 50 percent or greater.
State Senator Steve Newman announced recently that the Division of Legislative Services has begun drafting legislation to ensure that a life cannot be legally taken after a child is born not withstanding its connection to the umbilical cord.
It did the trick
I want to express my gratitude to the Bedford Bulletin for offering free ads when a pet is being given away. I had also listed Bandit, the cat who needed a loving inside home, with animal rescue organizations, and had done a personal emailing to quite a few people whom I'd hoped might know someone who'd want him.
Anyone who's ever been a news reporter, or who follows what we call "news cycles" closely, knows that the slowest period for news on the entire calendar is the week between Christmas and New Years Day.
There is, usually, nothing of much importance going on, as people and events are caught in a holiday lull.
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
So went some of the lyrics of the Beatles' 60s tune "Taxman." This song is the first thing that came to my mind as I read about the monstrosity that emerged from the Senate on Christmas Eve.
Someone forgot to tell Liberty and Brookville that this is the season of good cheer.
With one win, against Altavista, under the Minettes' belt, the team set out for victory number two against the Amherst Lancers.
Bud Foster made the right move in turning down Georgia's offer of the Bulldogs' defensive coordinator position.
In fact, it was a no-brainer.
For the first time in history, the same team won both the River Rumble and the Bedford Brawl. And, no, it wasn't Christiansburg or Brookville.
Staunton River has rarely been accused of being a strong swimming school.
That appears to have changed, starting with the boys team.

After 20 years at Suzuka, Formula One racing returned to the Fuji Speedway for the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix. With the revamped circuit new to almost all the drivers - and with the world championship still wide open - it promised to be an exciting event.
Four men still had a chance of winning the drivers crown. Lewis Hamilton led the way on 97 points from McLaren team mate Fernando Alonso (95), but it was Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen (84) and Felipe Massa (77) who appeared most confident, arriving in Japan on the back of an emphatic one-two in Belgium.
Sure enough it was Ferrari who initially led the way, with Raikkonen and Massa setting the fastest Friday morning times, ahead of Alonso, Hamilton and Williams Nico Rosberg. After lunch, however, McLaren got into their stride, with Hamilton finishing top from Alonso, both more than half a second clear of third-placed Massa.
With Raikkonen fifth, the two Ferraris were separated by Jarno Trulli, who flew for Toyota. Williams, however, looked to be struggling, with Rosberg only 13th. To make matters worse, the young Germans car also had to undergo an unscheduled engine change after the session - and incur the subsequent 10-place grid penalty.
On Saturday morning only three drivers were able to set a time after torrential rain descended on the circuit. Williams Alex Wurz was quickest ahead of Rosberg and Trulli, but the paddock was far more interested in whether qualifying would be wet too.
The rain did indeed continue to fall after lunch and it was Hamilton who shone in the tricky conditions to take his fifth pole of the season, snatching P1 from Alonso during Q3s dying moments. The Ferraris seemed to suffer from a relative lack of grip, but still locked out row two in convincing fashion, Raikkonen heading Massa.
Other notable qualifying performances included fifth place for BMW Saubers Nick Heidfeld, sixth for Rosberg (his penalty dropped him to 16th) and seventh for Hondas Jenson Button. There were celebrations too at Toro Rosso, as Sebastian Vettels ninth place gave the team their first-ever top-ten grid slot.
In contrast, Renault had a taxing day with Giancarlo Fisichella 11th and Heikki Kovalainen 12th, as did Toyota, with Trulli finishing 14th and Ralf Schumacher only 16th following a collision with Spykers Sakon Yamamoto.
Saturday may have seemed wet, but it was nothing compared to what the heavens had in store for the drivers on Sunday, with the paddock waking up to hammering rain. Indeed, so drenched was the circuit that the entire field was told to start on extreme wet-weather tyres and the first 19 laps of the race were run behind the safety car, until the rain eventually abated.
The conditions did little to faze pole-sitter Hamilton, who took his fourth win of the season in dazzling style, ahead of a hard-charging Kovalainen, who scored his maiden F1 podium. Alonso had a much tougher time in the second McLaren. Significantly off the pace of his rivals, the Spaniard slipped back through the field and crashed out on lap 42 (of 67) at Turn Six, prompting a second safety-car period.
What of Ferrari? Both cars were hamstrung by a mistake on the grid, after a communications mix-up saw Raikkonen and Massa start on standard wets instead of the required extremes. The duo was therefore forced to make early, unscheduled pit stops and although Raikkonen recovered to take third, Massa could only manage sixth, despite winning a spirited fight to the line with BMW Saubers Robert Kubica.
As well as excitement, there was controversy too. After the Ferrari tyre blunder, Vettel and Red Bulls Mark Webber were in line for some serious points. That was until Vettel ran into the back of Webber under the second safety car and ruled them both out of the race. The young German was penalized for his error and given a 10-place grid penalty for the following round in China.
Saving Red Bulls blushes was David Coulthard, who finished fourth ahead of Renaults Fisichella. The final point, meanwhile, eventually went to Spykers Adrian Sutil after Toro Rossos Vitantonio Liuzzi - who finished ahead of Sutil on the road - was handed a 25-second penalty for overtaking under yellow flags. Toro Rosso lost their subsequent appeal over the incident.
In terms of the championship, the results of the Japanese race were critical. Hamiltons dominant victory helped boost his standings lead from two to 12 points over the luckless Alonso, 107 points to 95. Raikkonen kept himself in contention on 90, but with just two races left, Massas 80-point tally finally ruled the Brazilian out of the title chase.

4 Hot Stocks to Trade (or Not)
7 Hot Stocks to Trade (or Not)
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Put down the 10-K filings and the stock screeners. It's time to take a break from the traditional methods of generating investment ideas. Instead, let the crowd do it for you.
From hedge funds to individual investors, scores of market participants are turning to social media to figure out which stocks are worth watching. It's a concept that's known as "crowdsourcing," and it uses the masses to identify emerging trends in the market.
>>5 Stocks Setting Up to Break Out
Crowdsourcing has long been a popular tool for the advertising industry, but it also makes a lot of sense as an investment tool. After all, the market is completely driven by the supply and demand, so it can be valuable to see what names are trending among the crowd. While some fund managers are already trying to leverage social media resources like Twitter to find algorithmic trading opportunities, for most investors, crowdsourcing works best as a starting point for investors who want a starting point in their analysis. Today, we'll leverage the power of the crowd to take a look at some of the most active stocks on the market today. >>5 Stocks Insiders Are Scooping Up These "most active" names are the most heavily-traded names on the market -- and often, uber-active names have some sort of a technical or fundamental catalyst driving investors' attention on shares. That's especially true now that earnings season is officially underway. And when there's a big catalyst, there's often a trading opportunity. Without further ado, here's a look at today's stocks. >>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy This Week Chesapeake Energy Nearest Resistance: $21.50Nearest Support: $19.50
Catalyst: CEO Retirement On the other side of the spectrum, Chesapeake Energy (CHK - Get Report) is rallying hard following news that embattled CEO and co-founder Aubrey McClendon would be stepping down from his post on April 1. No, it's not just an early April Fool's joke. McClendon, you'll remember, was at the center of a debacle where he'd borrowed around a billion dollars against his holdings in CHK to fund personal stakes in wells used by Chesapeake. Since that came out, the tenuous relationship between McClendon and the board has been grabbing more headlines than Chesapeake's own business has.

McNally Electronics was formed by a group of enthusiastic engineers to design, develop and produce world class automotive instrumentation. The company is a small spin off of an aerospace firm and collectively with our employees brings many years of experience in displays and instrumentation.
Our flagship product line pictured above is a world class gauge designed to bring features of both an analog and digital gauge to the automotive market. The pointer moves through a full 240 degrees of the dial. The units can be any quantity of interest such as Turbo Boost, Oil pressure, Volts, Water Temperature to name just a few.
Trucks/Cars/Boats/Bikes, you name it... we'll produce it.
For a single quantity gauge, the digital window replicates the exact value of the pointer movement. In a glance the driver gets both trend and amount. The digital window is not limited by the range of the pointer but can display through the full range of the sensor.
Our "combo" gauges that show one quantity on the pointer and a different quantity in the digital window are also popular. A good example is Boost/EGT, Where boost pressure is displayed on the pointer and exhaust gas temperature is displayed in the digital window. There are many other examples.
This is an all electronic system... no hoses. The gauge can read one pressure sensor and one thermocouple, so we can do a combo gauge with just about any range of either pressure or temperature, in C or F. And either quantity on the dial or on the needle. The needle travel is 240 degrees, but we can make a custom dial with any beginning and ending range of numbers. The Boost/EGT combo gauges can be ordered in 25,30,50 and 80 PSI off the shelf ranges, and are suitable for any Diesel Turbocharged engine, such as diesel pickup trucks. You folks with turbo gassers can get the combo Boost/Vacuum/EGT version that shows -15 inches Hg on the vacuum side.
Since we are the designers, engineers, and the manufacturer, we can at least talk to you about whether your idea of a custom gauge or dial will be easy or hard or cheap or pricey. Give Dave a call or send an email.
Please contact us to hear about the limitless possibilities our gauges have to offer and other custom projects that we currently have underway.

Sex and the Swami: Why India's Gurus Can't Keep It In Their Loincloths
India has a great tradition of enlightened Hindu holy men, ascetics and mystics: men with long beards and little clothing who wander the country bringing enlightenment to the masses. Some of these "godmen" — as they are popularly known in the Indian press — have millions of followers. And a good number of them — not unlike their televangelists counterparts back in the U.S. — have also become millionaires, which can be, um, slightly at odds with their image as people who eschew the material world. And, like their Bible-thumping colleagues on the other side of the globe, they seem particularly prone to, well, shall we say, lapses of the flesh. Or maybe we should just say that for some of these swamis, their knowledge of the Mahabharat and the Bhagvad Gita is matched by their practice of the Kama Sutra.
Last week saw dueling sex scandals involving Hindu holy men. First, a television channel ran a sting operation in which it filmed Swami Nithyananda, an extremely popular godman who runs a major ashram just outside the IT hub of Bangalore, getting it on with a woman believed to be (her face is a bit blurry in the video) a well known Tamil film star (although there is some debate about whether it is Ragasudha or Ranjitha.)
Following airing of the tape, the swamis enraged followers – feeling betrayed by Nithyananda's seeming hypocrisy — attacked his ashrams in both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The police also filed charges against him for "cheating" and "enraging people's religious sentiments." (If only that were a crime in America too!) The swami was forced to release a statement assuring his followers that he had done "nothing illegal" — not exactly the strongest denial ever.
Then, in an even bigger scandal, a popular mystic named Shiv Murat Dwivedi was arrested by Delhi police and charge with running a prostitution ring involving up to 100 of his female devotees, including many "respectable" girls — college students and airline stewardesses — with middle class backgrounds or, at least, middle-class aspirations, as well as some "society women," according to a report in The Straits Times. The report also said that "Dwivedi, who worked as a security guard at a five-star hole and at a massage parlour before taking to religion, was said to have amassed more than 600 million rupees ($10 million) over a period of 10 years [through prostitution and other illegal activities.]" There are other reports that Dwivedi had a criminal record for prostitution previously and that he remade himself following his release from prison as a holy man. He may have lured the women into his prostitution ring with promises of access to the rich and powerful and then blackmailed them to get them in the game. According to another report, while some of the women volunteered to work in the guru's sex business, others were coerced, perhaps because the swami had loaned them money to pay for schools or training courses.
It is always remarkable that more people don't see these phony gurus for what they are: con artists. Belief in swamis and gurus seems particularly widespread in India, again even among classes of people who, in the West, would not be the sorts to fall for the acts of televangelists. For an interesting discussion of this phenomenon, I recommend the tail end of a chapter called "The Imaginary Horse," in Edward Luce's great survey of contemporary India, In Spite of The Gods.

Benefits of Screening Mammography Regular use of screening mammograms, followed by timely treatment when breast cancer is diagnosed, can help reduce the chances of dying from breast cancer. For women between the ages of 50 and 69, there is strong evidence that screening lowers this risk by 30 percent. For women in their 40s, the risk can be reduced by about 17 percent. For women aged 70 and older, mammography may be helpful, although firm evidence is lacking. Percentage of women aged 40 and older, by racial/ethnic, geographic, and low-income groups, who reported having had a mammogram within the past 2 years. Note: The most recent (2008) data are currently being reviewed. This section will be updated once research results have been published. Trends – Rising until 2000, then stable for Whites while continuing to rise for other racial/ethnic groups until 2003. Among White women aged 40 and older, trend fell slightly from 2003 to 2005. Download: data (Excel) | image (JPEG) In 2005, 67 percent of women aged 40 and older had a mammogram within the past 2 years, a statistically significant drop from 70 percent in 2003. Among racial/ethnic groups, 59 percent of Hispanics (down from 65 percent in 2003), 65 percent of Blacks (down from 70 percent in 2003), and 68 percent of Whites (down from 71 percent in 2003) had a mammogram within the past 2 years, but these drops were not statistically significant. Among Asian women interviewed in California only, 74 percent had a mammogram in 2005, the same rate as in 2003. Increase to 70 percent the proportion of women aged 40 and older who have had a mammogram within the past 2 years. This target was met in 2003, but the rate dropped to 67 percent, below the target, in 2005. Groups at High Risk for Not Being Screened Women who are immigrants and those with lower incomes, with less education, without insurance, and lacking a usual health care provider are less likely to get screening mammograms. Download: data (Excel) | image (JPEG) Download: data (Excel) | image (JPEG) Cost and knowledge barriers, including lack of insurance and lack of provider recommendations for regular mammograms, need to be removed. While millions of women have had at least one screening mammogram, many women still have not. Also, even among those women who have had a recent screening mammogram, many do not have them on a regular basis. For women to benefit from mammography, regular screening is needed. In November 2009, the USPSTF modified their recommendations for mammography screening for specific age groups. For women aged 50 to 74 years, biennial screening mammography was recommended � the previous recommendation was for women aged 40 to 69. Evidence for the decision to start regular, biennial screening mammography before the age of 50 years showed more harms and smaller benefits for this age group than for older women and therefore it was recommended that this should be a decision for individual patients and their physicians to make. For women 75 years or older, the USPSTF concluded that the current evidence is insufficient to make a recommendation. Different organizations have generated different guidelines. To see guidelines issued by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and others, go to http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/USpstfix.htm. The Guide to Community Preventive Services, http://www.thecommunityguide.org/index.html , is a source of information about evidence-based approaches for enhancing cancer screening.

Share your story here
Before I even became pregnant, I had decided with my husband that we wanted to deliver our baby with a midwife. I am so thankful that we have a wonderful midwifery practice in my city that delivers in a great progressive hospital. Although I had been hoping to have a natural birth, even up until the day before my labor started, I lacked the confidence to tell people that I was going to have a natural birth; I would only say that I would "try" to deliver drug-free. Once my labor started, quickly and unexpectedly a week before my due date, I began doubting my ability to do it without drugs. This was more difficult that I had anticipated. When we got to the hospital, I just knew that if the nurse or midwife offered an epidural, I would probably say yes. I was so surprised that my midwife not only didn't offer drugs; she was so calm and treated my labor as something normal, and not scary. Not surprisingly, I didn't feel afraid after that! I saw her confidence in me and my ability to give birth. She and the L&D nurses continually encouraged me with praise about how well I was doing. I got to move around as much as I wanted, and I labored through transition in a jacuzzi tub. When it was time to push the baby out, my midwife asked me what position I wanted to use, rather than told me what I should do. My son was born healthy and beautiful, and he crawled up to nurse within 30 minutes of birth. We were so pleased with our experience that we cannot imagine going to anyone but a midwife for our next child.

Beta Radiation, Mass Change
Name: Andrew Status: educator Grade: 6-8 Location: NH Country: USA Date: Summer 2012
Why does beta radiation change the mass of an isotope?
Hi Andrew,
A beta particle(â-) is a highly energetic electron emitted from the nucleus of a radioactive atom, coincident with an antineutrino(í). Beta electrons originate from a proton of a neutron rich isotope. When a proton(2U,1D quarks, +1 charge) ejects a beta particle, it is transformed into a neutron(1U,2D quarks, neutral).
That means the original isotope has lost a proton, therefore the element has changed and gained a neutron, so the mass will remain the same. We have a change of an element and an isotope.
K40 yields â- + í and Ca40.
Hope this helps! PEHughes, Ph,D. Milford, NH
Beta particles have mass... so when they are ejected, the remaining mass is lower. Simple conservation of mass... also, see this answer from the Newton archives: http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/gen01/gen01078.htm
However, it does not change the 'mass number' (the sum of protons and neutrons), as beta emission simply 'converts' a neutron to a proton. The 'mass number' does not distinguish the mass of neutrons from protons. (there is a little more complexity to the situation, but I think this simplification is sufficient for here).
Hope this helps, Burr Zimmerman
Because the mass of the electron (the "beta" particle) is not in the nucleus anymore. Neither is the mass of the anti-neutrino that also was emitted. Also, the kinetic energy that those particles have is no longer in the nucleus.
Tim Mooney
A "beta ray" is an electron. The nucleus of an element can gain ( or lose ) an electron, depending upon what nuclear process is taking place. In addition, this gain (or loss ) of the electron can "trigger" further nuclear processes, leading to further gain or loss of nuclear mass.
Vince Calder
Please see this article for details:
The two types of Beta radiation (particles) are electrons and positrons. Electron rest mass from:
is about 9.11 x (10^(-31)) Kilograms.
Positron rest mass is approximately the same.
So beta radiation reduces the mass of the radiating substance.

Previous: Type Predicates, Up: Lisp Data Types
Here we describe functions that test for equality between two objects. Other functions test equality of contents between objects of specific types, e.g., strings. For these predicates, see the appropriate chapter describing the data type.
This function returns
if object1 and object2 are the same object, andnil
otherwise.If object1 and object2 are integers with the same value, they are considered to be the same object (i.e.,
). If object1 and object2 are symbols with the same name, they are normally the same object—but see Creating Symbols for exceptions. For other types (e.g., lists, vectors, strings), two arguments with the same contents or elements are not necessarilyeq
to each other: they areeq
only if they are the same object, meaning that a change in the contents of one will be reflected by the same change in the contents of the other.(eq 'foo 'foo) ⇒ t (eq 456 456) ⇒ t (eq "asdf" "asdf") ⇒ nil (eq "" "") ⇒ t ;; This exception occurs because Emacs Lisp ;; makes just one multibyte empty string, to save space. (eq '(1 (2 (3))) '(1 (2 (3)))) ⇒ nil (setq foo '(1 (2 (3)))) ⇒ (1 (2 (3))) (eq foo foo) ⇒ t (eq foo '(1 (2 (3)))) ⇒ nil (eq [(1 2) 3] [(1 2) 3]) ⇒ nil (eq (point-marker) (point-marker)) ⇒ nilThe
function returns an uninterned symbol, distinct from the symbol that is used if you write the name in a Lisp expression. Distinct symbols with the same name are noteq
. See Creating Symbols.(eq (make-symbol "foo") 'foo) ⇒ nil
This function returns
if object1 and object2 have equal components, andnil
otherwise. Whereaseq
tests if its arguments are the same object,equal
looks inside nonidentical arguments to see if their elements or contents are the same. So, if two objects areeq
, they areequal
, but the converse is not always true.(equal 'foo 'foo) ⇒ t (equal 456 456) ⇒ t (equal "asdf" "asdf") ⇒ t (eq "asdf" "asdf") ⇒ nil (equal '(1 (2 (3))) '(1 (2 (3)))) ⇒ t (eq '(1 (2 (3))) '(1 (2 (3)))) ⇒ nil (equal [(1 2) 3] [(1 2) 3]) ⇒ t (eq [(1 2) 3] [(1 2) 3]) ⇒ nil (equal (point-marker) (point-marker)) ⇒ t (eq (point-marker) (point-marker)) ⇒ nilComparison of strings is case-sensitive, but does not take account of text properties—it compares only the characters in the strings. See Text Properties. Use
to also compare text properties. For technical reasons, a unibyte string and a multibyte string areequal
if and only if they contain the same sequence of character codes and all these codes are either in the range 0 through 127 (ASCII) or 160 through 255 (eight-bit-graphic
). (see Text Representations).(equal "asdf" "ASDF") ⇒ nilHowever, two distinct buffers are never considered
, even if their textual contents are the same.
The test for equality is implemented recursively; for example, given
two cons cells x and y, (equal
x y)
returns t
if and only if both the expressions below return
(equal (car x) (car y)) (equal (cdr x) (cdr y))
Because of this recursive method, circular lists may therefore cause infinite recursion (leading to an error).
This function behaves like
in all cases but also requires that for two strings to be equal, they have the same text properties.(equal "asdf" (propertize "asdf" '(asdf t))) ⇒ t (equal-including-properties "asdf" (propertize "asdf" '(asdf t))) ⇒ nil

American League Division Series Preview from The Sports Network Monday, October 7th (All times Eastern) Oakland Athletics (1-1) at Detroit Tigers (1-1), 1:07 p.m. Probable Starting Pitchers: Oakland - Jarrod Parker (12-8, 3.97) Detroit - Anibal Sanchez (14-8, 2.57) (SportsNetwork.com) - Runs could be at a premium on Monday when the American League Division Series between the Detroit Tigers and Oakland Athletics shifts to Comerica Park for Game 3. Detroit, which hasn't scored in 17 innings, will rely on the AL's stingiest pitcher in Anibal Sanchez, who paced the league with a 2.57 ERA. Often overlooked in a rotation that includes 20-game winner Max Scherzer and former Cy Young Award winner and MVP Justin Verlander, Sanchez was 14-8 this past season. "When we first got him, he looked fine but really didn't look out of the ordinary too much," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "Then as the season went on, I mean, he's got good stuff, throws the ball harder than I thought he would throw it. He has a repertoire of pitches. He can throw anything on any count. I think this guy has some of the better stuff in the American League, in my opinion. He's been terrific for us." Sanchez was one of the best pitchers in either league over the second half of the season, going 7-2 with a 2.20 ERA after the All-Star break. "This year, I just tried to keep to the level of those guys," said Sanchez, who was 1-2 with a 1.77 ERA and 0.98 WHIP last year in the playoffs. "For me, I've got my job, and every five days, I try at that point, to throw a really good game." Oakland, meanwhile, will counter with righty Jarrod Parker, who was 12-8 during the year with a 3.97 ERA. At one point Parker went a team-record 19 starts in a row without a loss, going 9-0 in that span with a 2.61 ERA. Parker, though, struggled toward the end of the season, as he surrendered at least seven runs in two of his last three starts. He also struggled against the Tigers in last year's ALDS and lost both of his starts, while pitching to a 4.26 ERA. "I think making two postseason starts last year is definitely a benefit for me this year," Parker said Sunday during an off-day news conference at Comerica Park. "I'm going to be able to settle in and slow things down right away. It's not going to be so foreign, I guess. It's just being there in it last year, it's one of those things where you pull from those things. You pull from the last two games, that atmosphere." Parker will be facing a Tigers' offense, though, that has seemingly disappeared since scoring three runs in the first inning of Game 1. On Saturday, the A's evened this best-of-five set at a game apiece, as rookie Sonny Gray matched Verlander in a pitching duel, and Oakland squeaked out the game's only run in the bottom of the ninth inning. Stephen Vogt delivered the game-winning single off Rick Porcello to give the A's the 1-0 victory. The sixth rookie in Oakland history to start a postseason game, Gray piled up nine strikeouts over eight innings. The 23-year-old right-hander gave up four hits and a pair of walks. "Sonny did one heck of a job," Verlander commented. "He was able to use his angst and energy for a positive and a lot of young guys it works against them. That's why veterans usually seem to do better in postseason pressure. He handled himself like a veteran and it was impressive." Verlander had 11 strikeouts over his seven-inning effort. "Runs seem to get tougher to come by when you go deeper and deeper into the game," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "You had two starting pitchers that were electric tonight and they were going to put up zeros. They were going to make big pitches when they had to, but it felt like a game that was going to be a battle of attrition." Detroit superstar Miguel Cabrera, who is playing through groin and abdominal pain, has singled in each of the two games in Oakland and has reached base safely in all 26 of his career postseason games. "The guy is dangerous regardless, and no matter if he has his legs under him or not," Melvin said. "He hits the ball hard up the middle, as he has both games. And you're always thinking about where he is in the lineup." Detroit, which lost four of seven games against the A's during the season, has beaten Oakland the last two times these teams have met in the postseason. The A's only win against the Tigers in the playoffs came in the 1972 ALCS, which started a run of three consecutive world titles for Oakland. 10/07 10:19:16 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

MEDFORD, Ore. — A local car show is raising money for Southern Oregon foster parents.
Nearly 100 cars and their owners, showed up at the Bob Thomas Automotive Show and Shine on Saturday. The car show has been going on for several years now, and each year it chooses a charity to give back to. This year all of the money raised will go to the Jackson County Foster Parents Association.
Car enthusiasts said they enjoy coming to the car show for the social aspect, and to mingle with others who share their interest.
"All kinds of cars, Chevys, Fords, dodges, you name it it's here, a lot of good people, a lot of fun," said Bob Thomas, the Owner of Bob Thomas Automotive.
Last year the charity event raised close to $10,000, and this year officials are hoping to raise even more.

Deus Ex: Human Defiance trademarked by Square EnixIt looks like we'll be getting a sequel to Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Square Enix has taken out a trademark on Deus Ex: Human Defiance, and since the first game was rather successful, this isn't a huge surprise. Maybe this time around, the developer won't outsource the boss battles to another studio. Eidos itself admitted the boss fights were weak, so hopefully the company takes that to heart and either drops them or significantly improves them.

With all the money and media attention, it is no surprise that the world of sports is full of gigantic egos, but not all big egos are necessarily damaging. Some players are able to keep their ego separate from their duties to their team, and are a positive influence on those around them.Egotism is "characterized by an exaggerated estimate of one's intellect, ability, importance, appearance, wit, or other valued personal characteristics"– the drive to maintain and enhance favorable views of oneself.I like to write about egotism (probably because I do it better than anyone else in the world).But that's enough about me (as if…), let's talk about this list (that I wrote).
