Our traditional system of two- and four-year colleges and universities is not well-suited to educate post-traditional learners, writes Louis Soares. Postsecondary education leaders need to be challenged to embrace a future of innovation that may put their current institutional, instructional, and financial models at risk. This paper includes a brief primer on innovation, a profile of post-traditional learners, a look at the U.S. investment in postsecondary educa¬tion and training, and concludes with three principles to "catalyze a manifesto for college leaders on how to proceed."
Soares is a special policy advisor to the president of ACE and a fellow at the Center for American Progress.

ACE's 97th Annual Meeting will provide valuable opportunities to obtain insight into what higher education leaders can expect from federal policymakers in the coming year.
Members of the 12th Cohort of ACE's Internationalization Laboratory joined in a robust discussion Friday, Feb. 13 in Washington during the mid-year seminar to explore several campus internationalization issues, with creating campus-wide buy in and partnerships with institutions abroad rising to the top.
ACE is now accepting applications to its 2015 Institute for New Chief Academic Officers, which will meet in three sessions throughout the year.
ACE and 11 other higher education associations sent a letter Feb. 27 to Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) in support of his recently introduced bill to make a number of important reforms to the American Opportunity Tax Credit and Lifetime Learning Credit.

MultiWii Pro Boards
Hey Guys,
I have three of these boards coming in tomorrow. I will be selling them on the classifieds for $75 each but will cut you deal for $65/each if you order before I post to the classifieds tomorrow afternoon. Just shoot me a PM. This includes free USPS priority mail shipping from Seattle, WA. It does NOT include the GPS unit. Frankly, I don't know how HK is managing to package the two for such a low price. What I do know is that I ordered one of the Hobby King MultiWii PRO/GPS combos a couple of months ago and still haven't seen it. . . Also, as I prepare to open my online store which I will formally announce on RCGroups next week, I have been stocking a bunch of other inventory including the Crius AIOP which you guys have been discussing. I will have 10 of those listed and will be selling them for $85/each (fast, free shipping CONUS). These are slightly more expensive based on the sensors. Same deal there, I will offer a $10 discount if you want to pre-order but please be aware that I won't be able to send those out until the 17th (next week). PM if interested. Why would I offer pre-order discounts? Simple--I put a ton of money at risk and I am nervous. Nothing more to it than that. |

You make a well-argued case, wingspinner, and I appreciate your analysis; however, I think you may be overlooking that it really depends on what people seek out of a flight controller.
It can hardly be argued that thousands of rc pilots haven't been using the MultiWii (with previous generation sensors) with great success and joy for a couple of years now. This is the same board that many of those thousands have except for the fact that it is an AT Mega IC (which only makes it better). This board might not make for the best possible industrial-grade drone that money can buy, but thats not really it's goal. The MWC platform, in my opinion, is more for garage tinkerers and weekend warriors. The cool thing about this particular board is that you can run MWC in octocopter or V8 mode IN ADDITION to camera stabilizing servos and other gear like GPS and lights. That makes it a fun all-around board for under $100 bucks which is what many of us are looking for. If the MWC platform is too frustrating/unworthy as a flight controller (with the previous generation of sensors), then someone should tell these guys :

Point taken except for one rediculous statment:
[QUOTE][This board might not make for the best possible industrial-grade drone that money can buy, but thats not really it's goal./QUOTE] Of course we arent trying to build "the best that money can buy. Rather ridiculous statement. None of these chips will meake even close to a low-end commercial quality drone. ALL the chips we use are designed for low end consumer applications. That includes the MPU6050. I dont think any reasonable person would think spending $10-$20 more for a better board that will give better performance with less hassle is anything remotely close to "the best that money can buy" As well, the MW stuff that those who were successful in getting to fly decent is not the MW we have today with GPS, position hold, altitude hold, and other advanced features. Have you read the forums? There are hundreds of pleas for help trying to get those advanced features dialied in and most will never achieve it primarily due to using the cheap MTK GPS. Pretty much anything will run MW in rste(acro) mode sufficiently well to have a lot of fun and, as you say, thousands (including myself) have done this eith the older hardware. This board should also be able to achieve that. However, since the OP was focused on on advanced features and comparing to a Crius AIOP so was I. The advanced features of MW and Ardupilot/MegaPirates are very much dependent on having good hardware otherwise one spends hours and hours chasing acceptable performance that cannot be achieved. So you are using a very different usage model for your comparison and one not relevant to this discussion. I'm not saying what you write isn't relevant at all, it's just a different discussion. If this new board didn't come with a crappy, frustrating GPS and it was $35-$40 then it would be a lower cost alternative to the $55 Crius board and a clearly superior replacement to most of the low-end Atmel328P based boards. But, that's not what it is. Look, I have no axe to grind, I fly whatever I find works well and I have no special alligence to any brand or any specific hardware or software. I'm purely pragmatic if it works well and the price is right I'm a fan. If its priced too high or it doesn't work well I'm not a fan. I also will not make excuses for crumby hardware just because its cheap. I'd rather spend a bit more to get something that works acceptably well rather that buy something that is marginal and will be a struggle to get working and never deliver acceptable performance. Even if its super cheap. That kind of thing is just a waste of money. So, I stand by my experience and statements about this board but I will qualify them a bit more in response to your comments. It is not a good solution for running Ardupilot/megaPirates and its not a good solution for MW if you plan to use features such as position hold, RTH, altitude holds, etc. I'll add further that if you replace the GPS with a UBlox LEA6 or even the 5 it might provide acceptable performance but boards running the same chips on Ardupilot have been shown to offer marginal performance for advanced features already. Lastly, as a replacement for 328p based boards running MW for sport flying (acro mode) it may be a step for the reasons you specify. However it's about $20 more expensive. Bottom line here is your are buying a board that should be priced at about $35-$40 and you are paying $20-$25 for a known poor performing GPS. And, my personal opinion is that even if the board was $35 without the GPS I feel its penny wise and pound foolish to buy it when for an extra $20 I can get the Crius AIOP with much better hardware that will fly much better in most cases with less tuning effort. And... When there is something else that provides more bang for the buck Than AIOP for this end of the market Ill likely recommend that bit right now, in the $30-$60 range Crius is a real good choice and much better that this new board. Lastly, I know that whenever someone tries to point out that buying the cheapest thing you can get may not be the best path there are going to be five more guys who already bought it and have an emotional investment already or 10 others who have a penchant for buying the least expensive thing with the longest feature list that will dive in and beat the person to death with reams of rstionalization and emotional exaggerations (like the " best money can buy comment"). However, i have a lot of better things to do than debate this. I have no emotional investment in this other than I hate to see people get sucked in to buying something like this believing they'll be able to achieve the same results as slightly more expensive boards like the AIOP and the reams of posts that result from those that buy it trying to make it do what those better boards csn acheive. If one buys this board well informed, whatever your reasons are, thats fine. At least you had some info to work from though and you made your choices and trade-offs based on useful info rather than just the ra-ra it grts because its inexpensive.. Everyone's entitled to make their own decisions. I just try to represent things in as factual a manner as possible. The rest is whatever you feel works best for you. Good luck! Cheers Wingspinner |

I have flown this board with MultiWii2.1 and Megapirate NG. See this forum for more info. I would love to see a schematic too, but have had no luck so far. /J |

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab
By KBB.com Editors
How big is too big? At Dodge, the question seems not to have crossed anyone's mind. How else can one explain the massive Dodge Mega Cab pickup? As if the Ram Quad Cab isn't more truck than most folks need, the Mega Cab stretches its interior by replacing the standard eight-foot box with a six-foot bed and filling the gap with an additional 20 inches of cab. The Mega Cab now boasts the largest interior of any full-size pickup and features so much rear-seat legroom it's only a matter of time before someone starts using it as an off-road limo! The true beauty of the Mega Cab's design is that its stem-to-stern dimensions remain identical to the eight-foot bed Ram Quad Cab pickup, meaning it will still fit in your garagebut just barely.
If you want capacious rear-cabin room for people and cargo, this is your truck. With limo-like 44.2-inches of rear-seat legroom and 71 cubic-feet of cargo space with the seats folded, the Mega Cab is the King of the Hill.
If your towing, hauling and rear-cabin roominess needs are more modest than this Mega Cab provides, or your garage space and/or fuel budget are limited, the Quad Cab is probably all the truck you need. The six-foot bed may also pose a problem for some.
A new 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel engine, joined by a new six-speed automatic transmission (available in January 2007), becomes optional on the 2500 model and standard on the 3500 model.
Driving Impressions Despite their bulk, these Mega Cabs steer, ride, handle and brake at least as well as competitive long-wheelbase heavy-duty pickups. The HEMI V8 delivers its 375 pound-feet of peak torque...
at 4200 rpm and its 345 maximum horsepower at 5400 rpm, and the five-speed automatic provides smooth power at any reasonable speed.Cabin Capacity
The primary disadvantage of a pickup truck versus a truck-based SUV is the latter's enclosed, theft-resistant and weather-protected cargo capacity. This truck's aptly-named Mega Cab goes a long way toward eliminating that disadvantage, yet retains a substantial conventional bed out back for your dirty, heavy stuff. Unlike any other pickup, it will seat an NBA basketball team and its sixth man off the bench in commodious comfort, plus a fair amount of gear behind the back seat.
HEMI V8 Engine
Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota and Nissan all offer strong, reliable V8 power in full-size pickups, but none beats this Dodge powerhouse for its balance of smoothness, muscle and efficiency. Partnered with the robust five-speed automatic, it's simply the most powerfully pleasing big-pickup powerplant available.
The spacious six-passenger cabin has a wide front-center console, with generous storage bins and cup holders, and an optional "business console" under the middle front cushion for a laptop and other mobile office needs. The gauges and controls have a precise look and feel, and the fittings and materials are good even in base SLT models. Besides prodigious room and reclining seats, rear riders get their own HVAC outlets, reading lamps, stowable center armrest with cupholders and (available) DVD with integrated game ports and wireless headsets. Behind the 60/40 fold-flat rear seats is a unique and useful 7.6 cubic-feet of cargo space, plus another 1.8 cubic-feet in covered bins.
ExteriorDodge has distinguished its pickups from competitors with aggressive "big-rig" styling featuring lowered front fenders and big, bold cross-bar grilles. The 2007 Ram builds on that theme with chrome grille bars inside a thick chrome collar, contemporary new headlamps and a massive front bumper. Uplevel Laramie models also wear chrome on their front bumpers and side sills. The front-hinged rear doors swing out nearly perpendicular (85 degrees) to the body, opening a cavernous 34.5 by 35.5-inch portal to the rear compartment for easy entry and exit, and for loading and unloading large, bulky items.
Base SLTs come well-equipped with air conditioning, AM/FM/CD four-speaker stereo, speed control, power windows and locks, keyless entry, overhead console with "mini" trip computer/compass and four-wheel disc brakes with an Antilock Braking System (ABS).
Uplevel Laramie models add leather upholstery, six-way power driver's seat, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, power sliding rear window, chromed aluminum wheels, security alarm, Sentry Key engine immobilizer and upscale audio with a six-disc CD changer, Infinity speakers, SIRIUS Satellite Radio and steering wheel-mounted controls. Additional options include full-screen navigation (integrated into the radio), rear-seat DVD, power sunroof and power-adjustable pedals.
Two very different engine choices are available to Mega Cab customers, who will decide based on individual needsboth work and playand desires. The standard HEMI gas V8 delivers outstanding power and torque, but despite the efficiency-enhancing Multiple-Displacement System, which disables four cylinders under light loads, don't expect much in the way of fuel economy in a truck this massive. The optional Cummins Turbo Diesel offers torque enough to pull a house off its foundation and better on-road economy, at the cost of diesel noise and roughness. Those with diesel needs or tastes will love it, others won't.

Donny Goines - One By One (Tysha Jones)

Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 9 votes )
This past Thursday, on Brooklyn's Brighton Beach boardwalk, a quarrel between teenagers flared up into a shootout, leaving four injured and one, a 16-year-old girl named Tysha Jones, dead. An acquaintance of Jones', longtime Booth favorite Donny Goines responds to the tragedy on unreleased cut One by One, recounting his memories of the young woman and mourning her lost potential over Simon Illa's elegiac sample work. This heartfelt tribute isn't set for inclusion on any forthcoming project, but fans can, as always, stay tuned for the latest from Goines.

Himalayan Yoga & Meditation Center - Yoga Workshop |
Yoga Workshop: | THE SENSES & PRATYAHARA |
Palatine IL USA | ||
Event is Over | ||
Hatha, Meditation, Teacher Training | ||
Himalayan Yoga & Meditation Center | ||
In Ashtanga Yoga (Eight Limbs), Pratyahara is the fifth limb. Pratyahara is the withdrawal of the senses. Through this powerful practice comes "supreme mastery," as stated in the Yoga Sutras. Used for controlled and inward focus, learning Pratyahara is required for advanced meditation and reaching the goal of yoga. In Ayurveda, Pratyahara is used to heal and restore the senses, calm the doshas (disturbances), and add clarity to the mental state. We will discuss this sutra (YS 2:54) and learn techniques to acquire a qualitatively better experience during meditation practice and for health. Students should have had at least studied an introductory meditation course. This class is appropriate for those in a Yoga Teachers' Training Program. There will be seated and prone practices, so come prepared with mat, cushion and blankets. Alternately, chairs are available for those who preferthem. Please refrain from wearing strong scents and do wear clean, comfortable clothing. (Qualifies for 2.5 CEU Credits with Yoga Alliance.) Instructor: Cynthia Gran, MA, E-RYT 500, D.Ay. Time: 1:30 PM – 4:00 PM Fee: Online Pre-payment: $30; Day of: $35 |

CEO of Nasdaq Bob Greifeld, left, applauds with CEO of Credit Suisse Paul Calello, and President of Barclays, Bob Diamond, as President Obama speaks... View Enlarged Image
Regulation: President Obama went to New York City Thursday to make clear his displeasure with what he called Wall Street's "failure of responsibility." But that's the very thing government is guilty of.
Most Americans, we believe, support the president's goal of "updated, common-sense regulation" that will prevent future crises like the one that brought our financial system to its knees in 2007 and 2008. "What happens here," he said in a speech delivered two miles from the nation's financial center, "has real consequences across our country."
The problem is, what the president and Congress have so far proposed doesn't fix the problem. Instead, it makes scapegoats of the financial industry for our government's own regulatory failings the very ones that led to the financial meltdown.
As we've noted many times, the U.S. is uniquely driven by investment. It's why our financial markets have since World War II been second to none in both innovation and getting capital to sectors that need it most.
But in the past year and a half, despite the commitment of nearly $20 trillion in taxpayer funds to prevent another crisis, lending has stalled or shrunk. This isn't Wall Street's fault, or the fault of derivatives. It's the fault of specific government policies ranging from failed bank oversight by the Fed to housing policies geared toward raising homeownership to the decision to bail out companies that made bad bets because they were "too big to fail."
Yes, Wall Street needs regulation but regulation that will work without turning one of our most sophisticated industries into a wholly owned subsidiary of the U.S. government. That's exactly what current reform proposals would do, but the point was lost in the lip service Obama paid to respecting "free markets."
In fact, the centerpiece of Obama's regulation efforts, Sen. Chris Dodd's reform bill, gives the federal government unprecedented control over Wall Street without changing any of the perverse incentives that created our financial mess.
To take just one example, the president said the proposed overhaul legislation would "put a stop to taxpayer-funded bailouts." That's simply not true. In fact, Dodd's bill specifically creates a $50 billion bailout fund. Though the fund is supposedly paid for by Wall Street itself, it still bails out those who screw up.
Moreover, the bill keeps government in the bailout game by letting the FDIC borrow as much as it needs to bail out failing financial firms if they "pose a threat to (U.S.) financial security."
What these proposals and others will do is infantilize an entire industry and turn it into a politicized lap dog of government.
What it won't do is address the central issue the role the government played in nearly bringing down the system. Specifically, what about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which have already cost us $400 billion?
As American Enterprise Institute scholar Peter Wallison has noted, our financial nightmare in 2007 was due largely to the fact that nearly half of all loans in the U.S. were subprime or Alt-A loans junk, really.
Once the housing bubble burst, these loans went bad in bunches leaving banks with huge losses and, often, insolvent. Two-thirds of these loans were either held or guaranteed by the government, particularly Fannie and Freddie.
That was the reason for the meltdown. Yet the president barely mentioned Fannie and Freddie in his speech. And his reform does nothing to fix them.
Sadly, the real problems remain unaddressed. Instead, government screws up and Wall Street gets blamed. Change? Hardly. It's the status quo. And in this case, the status quo won't do.

Hello. When I was 22, I had a subpectoral augmentation with cohesive silicone implants. At the time I was a 34 a and went to a nice 34 c. Since then I have had three children and breastfed them all. I am now a 36 d. I do weigh about 15 pound more than pre children. I am getting sick of muscle pain that occurs in the breast from straining or from sleeping wrong. I like having a full chest but certainly do not need this much breast. I'm wondering just how small I will be? It was 410mm/360grams.
Have Muscle Pain After Breast Augmentation, What Revision Options do I have?
Doctor Answers (2)
Very hard to provide an answer of any substance without seeing you. Are the capsules soft? Have the implants migrated? Pain is not a good indication for surgery of the breast unless an underlying reason can be identified. It may be that with age, weight, and childbearing changes the implants are now pulling on old scar and causing discomfort. Does wearing a bra help? Is it worse after exercise? Have you tried muscle relaxants?
See a board certified plastic surgeon to sort this all out.

Therm-a-Rest Regulus Blanket: 40 Degree Synthetic
? Share a...
What are the dimensions when not connected to a pad and lying flat on say a bed. IE both the top width and bottom width.
Warm but heavy
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I've been looking for an ultra-light quilt with synthetic insulation to take with me on climbing trips, and I hoped this might fill the bill.
Pros: It is a warm bag - I slept in it outside at 24 deg F on a guidelight thermarest wearing longjohns and a thin synthetic puffy, and I was plenty warm.
Cons: The bag is heavy and bulky. I won't try to estimate the denier, but the fabric is thick -- might be good for longevity, but it is bad for weight. The insulation is also very stiff and puffy - even with a compression sack it ended up bigger than I wanted to carry. A bit strange as a product design selection, since anyone getting a quilt probably values weight over most other considerations.
I've returned the bag, since it didn't meet my intended use.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Affordable housing idea works
The Selinger government recently introduced a bill that would allow municipalities to encourage or require new developments to include affordable housing. This step hopefully will lead to a wider range of housing options in new developments.
The idea is simple: Municipalities will be able to enact "inclusionary zoning," requiring a percentage of any new development (usually 10 to 30 per cent) to be "affordable." Municipalities will define what affordable means, both for the initial sale and to ensure it remains affordable over the long term.
Inclusionary zoning can be mandatory or voluntary, and usually developers receive some form of incentive in return. It works best in areas where there is strong demand for housing and house prices are rising.
Inclusionary zoning is used across North America to increase the amount of affordable housing in new developments and sometimes in redevelopments and infill housing. Usually, the housing created is for ownership, not rental. Although it is a good tool for the development of housing affordable to middle-income households who could not otherwise afford to buy, it usually isn't used to create social housing, as a significant government subsidy is required to make social housing financially viable.
Properly implemented, inclusionary zoning does not create a hit on developers. Good programs are flexible and include tools to encourage developers.
In Langford, B.C., for example, density allowances are increased, enabling developers to build (and sell) more units at a price high enough to cover the costs of building affordable units. Other municipalities have waived development fees or other costs and may fast-track the project through the approvals process.
Municipal governments -- as with provincial and federal governments -- have a responsibility to ensure their citizens are well-housed. But, unlike other government levels, municipalities have fewer resources to draw on. Instead, many use the tools they have available, such as density bonusing, which allows a developer to build more units than the zoning mandates; allowing secondary suites and laneway housing; developing bylaws that control demolition and conversion of residential buildings; and including housing in the city's development plan and other planning documents.
In fact, Our Winnipeg, the City of Winnipeg's development plan, clearly supports "the development of safe and affordable housing throughout the city."
It emphasizes the importance of creating mixed-income neighbourhoods, or "complete communities." This idea came from the thousands of Winnipeggers who participated in SpeakUpWinnipeg and who said they want to see a city that is sustainable and equitable. Inclusionary zoning is a tool that can help make that happen.
A frequently cited concern is that if developers are required to build affordable housing, they will move elsewhere. In Winnipeg, for example, they might look to build outside city limits.
This speaks to the need for good regional planning, but it also highlights the importance of having flexible regulations and tailoring an inclusionary zoning program to specific contexts. The types of housing that could be built in a city are different from those that could be built in a rural area and so the tools to help developers include affordable housing will be different.
Why is this kind of legislation necessary? At the moment, housing is provided primarily by the market -- developers build and sell housing for profit based on market demand. As a result, housing is built for those who can afford to pay prices middle- and lower-income households cannot afford.
When such groups are excluded from being able to live in a particular area, it's called exclusionary zoning. Inclusionary zoning is a way to counteract this.
Although inclusionary zoning has a lot of potential to increase affordable housing, having the government pass legislation is not enough. The legislation only makes it possible for municipalities to enact their own bylaws, it doesn't require them to do so. It remains to be seen what decision municipalities will make.
Even if municipalities do pass bylaws requiring inclusionary zoning, this will not solve Manitoba's housing challenges.
The number of affordable units produced through inclusionary zoning will not be enough to meet the demand; it will only house a small proportion of the households looking for affordable housing.
Low-income households will still look to other housing programs, including subsidies and social housing, to meet their housing needs.
Municipalities, provinces and the federal government must continue to develop plans and strategies to ensure everyone has access to safe, affordable housing.
Sarah Cooper researches housing and community development at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives-Manitoba.

Anderson, Kermyt G. 2003. "Family Structure, Schooling Outcomes, and Investment in Education in South Africa." PSC Research Report No. 03-538. September 2003.
This paper examines the relationship among South African children between family structure and schooling outcomes (current enrollment in school, highest grade completed, and number of grades completed per year) and investment in education (school fees). Family structure has important effects for blacks and coloureds; in particular, children who live with neither parent are consistently disadvantaged. For whites, family structure has little or no effect on schooling outcomes. Racial disparities in schooling outcomes largely disappear when background factors are controlled for. The results suggests that variations in family structure are a contributing factor to continued racial inequality in educational attainment in post-apartheid South Africa.

Interstate 10 reopens after fatal, fiery accident
PHOENIX -- A fiery, fatal accident involving a big rig forced Interstate 10 at the Broadway Road curve to be closed in both directions early Thursday.
By 10 a.m. three lanes were re-opened in each direction.
The truck driver, who was heading east on the freeway, died. Witnesses said the truck hit the median, followed by an explosion around 5 a.m.
Other vehicles were caught in the wake, and several people suffered minor injuries, according to the Department of Public Safety.
Drivers in both directions of I-10 had been forced to exit at State Route 143, although some westbound cars were able to stay on the I-10.
The closure also affected U.S. 60 westbound in the East Valley.
Cause of the accident is as yet unknown.

For these reasons, it is important to learn whether RF energy from cell phones affects human health.
What is RF energy and how can it affect the body?
RF energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation . Electromagnetic radiation can be divided into two types: Ionizing (high-frequency) and non-ionizing (low-frequency) ( 2 ). RF energy is a type of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation. Ionizing radiation , such as that produced by x-ray machines, can pose a cancer risk. There is currently no conclusive evidence that non-ionizing radiation emitted by cell phones is associated with cancer risk ( 2 ). Studies suggest that the amount of RF energy produced by cell phones is too low to cause significant tissue heating or an increase in body temperature. However, more research is needed to determine what effects, if any, low-level non-ionizing RF energy has on the body and whether it poses a health danger ( 2 ).
Numerous studies have investigated the relationship between cell phone use and the risk of developing malignant and benign brain tumors.
The most significant study of long-term use is the 13-country Interphone study, which is a multinational consortium of case-control studies . Interphone was coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) ( 3 ). The primary objective of the Interphone study was to assess whether RF energy exposure from cell phones is associated with an increased risk of malignant or benign brain tumors and other head and neck tumors. Participating countries included Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom ( 4 ).
Interphone researchers reported that, overall, cell phone users have no increased risk for two of the most common types of brain tumor―glioma and meningioma. In addition, they found no evidence of increasing risk with progressively increasing number of calls, longer call time, or years since beginning cell phone use. For the small proportion of study participants who reported spending the most total time on cell phone calls, there was some increased risk of glioma, but the researchers considered this finding inconclusive. The study was published online May 17, 2010, in the International Journal of Epidemiology ( 5 ).
Additional studies have investigated the risk of developing glioma, meningioma, and acoustic neuroma. Results from the majority of these studies have found no association between hand-held cell phone use and the risk of brain cancer ( 6 – 11 ); however, some, but not all, studies have suggested slightly increased risks for certain types of brain tumors ( 12 , 13 ).
Two reports published in November 2004 by researchers from individual countries that participated in the Interphone study described the results of assessments of cell phone use and the risk of acoustic neuroma. One report described a Danish case-control study that showed no increased risk of acoustic neuroma in long-term (10 years or more) cell phone users compared with short-term users, and there was no increase in the incidence of tumors on the side of the head where the phone was usually held ( 14 ). The other report described a Swedish study that examined similar populations and found a slightly elevated risk of acoustic neuroma in long-term cell phone users but not in short-term users ( 15 ).
A pooled analysis of data from Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom did not find relationships between the risk of acoustic neuroma and the duration of cell phone use, cumulative hours of use, or number of calls; however, the risk of a tumor on the same side of the head as the reported phone use was higher among persons who had used a cell phone for 10 years or more. Some other studies have reported similar findings ( 16 ). However, there is concern that people with a tumor on one side of their head might be more likely to report phone use on that side ( 12 ).
Other reports from the Danish and Swedish researchers who collaborated in the Interphone study investigated whether a relationship exists between cell phone use and the risk of meningioma or glioma. These studies compared individuals with meningioma or glioma with a control group of disease-free individuals and found no link between these conditions and cell phone use ( 17 , 18 ).
In addition, pooled analyses of data from four Nordic countries and the United Kingdom did not show overall associations between the risk of glioma or meningioma and the cumulative hours of cell phone use or the number of calls ( 19 , 20 ). There was a slightly increased risk of glioma occurring on the same side of the head as the reported phone use among persons who used a cell phone for at least 10 years ( 19 ).
In an attempt to avoid the issue of biases associated with case-control studies, researchers defined a cohort of 420,095 persons in Denmark with cell phone subscriptions and linked this roster with the Danish Cancer Registry to identify brain tumors occurring in this population ( 10 , 11 ). Cell phone use was not associated with glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, even among persons who had been subscribers for 10 or more years. Cell phone service subscription does not necessarily relate directly to cell phone use, duration, and frequency of use. A listed subscriber may not be the primary user of the phone. However, this type of prospective study has the advantage of not having to rely on people's ability to remember past cell phone use.
Incidence data from the Surveillance , Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), show no increase in the age-adjusted incidence of brain and other nervous system cancers between 1987 and 2007, despite the dramatic increase in the use of cell phones ( 21 ). NCI continues to monitor cancer incidence data to detect any change in the rates of new cases of brain cancer. If cell phones play a role in the risk of brain cancer, one would expect to see an increase in rates because average monthly hours of cell phone use have increased regularly for the past decade in the United States.
There are very few studies of the possible relationship between cell phone use and tumors other than those of the brain and central nervous system ( 22 – 25 ).
NCI began a comprehensive study of possible environmental and genetic causes of malignant and benign brain tumors in 1994. The findings were published in 2001 ( http://www.cancer.gov/newscenter/cellphassoc ) and were part of a comprehensive study to address a variety of possible risk factors for brain tumors. The study included 782 brain tumor cases and 799 controls from three medical institutions: St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and Western Pennsylvania Hospital in Pittsburgh. The study included brain tumor patients diagnosed with glioma (489 cases), meningioma (197 cases), or acoustic neuroma (96 cases). The control subjects were people who were admitted for a variety of non-cancerous conditions to the same hospitals as the brain tumor patients. The control subjects were matched with the case subjects by hospital, sex, race, age, and distance of residence from the hospital. The study was restricted to adults who were 18 or older who received care at one of the participating hospitals, resided within 50 miles of the hospital, and could understand English or Spanish. Data collection began in 1994 and was completed in 1998.
The study found no indication of higher brain tumor risk among persons who had used hand-held cell phones compared with those who had not used them. More importantly, there was no evidence of increasing risk with increasing years of use or average minutes of use per day, nor did brain tumors among cell phone users tend to occur more often than expected on the side of the head on which the person reported using their phone. Specifically, there was no indication of increased risk associated with use of a cell phone for 1 hour or more per day, for 5 or more years, or for cumulative use of more than 100 hours. These findings pertain to all three tumor types considered (glioma, meningioma, and acoustic neuroma).
Why are the results of some, but not most, studies inconsistent? The Interphone study suggests that overall there is no cancer risk from cell phones. There are several reasons for the discrepancies between other studies:
Information about cell phone use, including the frequency of use and the duration of calls, has largely been assessed through questionnaires. The completeness and accuracy of the data collected during such interviews is dependent on the memory of the responding individuals. In case-control studies, individuals with brain tumors may remember cell phone use differently from healthy individuals, which can result in a problem known as recall bias.
Digital cell phones have been in common use for less than a decade in the United States, and cellular technology continues to change ( 1 ). What was called 2G, or second-generation technology, was introduced in the United States in the 1990s. It was not until 3G, or third-generation technology, was introduced in 2001 that cell phone use became widely accepted in this country. Although older studies evaluated RF energy exposure from analog telephones, most cell phones today use digital technology, which operates at a different frequency and a lower power level than analog phones.
The interval between exposure to a carcinogen and the clinical onset of a tumor may be many years or decades. Scientists have been unable to monitor large numbers of cell phone users for the length of time it might take for brain tumors to develop ( 1 ).
Epidemiologic studies of cell phone use and brain cancer risk lack verifiable data about cumulative RF energy exposure over time (the total amount of RF energy individuals have encountered). These studies are also vulnerable to errors in the reporting of RF exposure by study participants ( 26 , 27 ). In addition, study participation rates are frequently different between those with cancer and those without cancer in brain tumor studies, a problem known as participation bias. Some studies have indicated greater participation by individuals diagnosed with brain tumors compared with control subjects, and participation rates may be related to cell phone use.
The use of "hands-free" wireless technology is increasing and may alter cell phone RF energy exposure.
With the publication of the Interphone study, research has fairly consistently demonstrated that there is not a link between cell phone use and cancer, but scientists caution that further surveillance, especially of heavy users and children and adolescents, is needed before definite conclusions can be drawn ( 1 , 28 ).
A large, prospective cohort study of cell phone use and its possible long-term health effects was launched in Europe in March 2010. This study, known as COSMOS, will enroll approximately 250,000 cell phone users age 18 or older and will follow them for 20 to 30 years. Participants in COSMOS will complete a questionnaire about their health, lifestyle, and current and past cell phone use. This information will be supplemented with information from health records and cell phone records. More information about the COSMOS study is available at http://www.ukcosmos.org/index.html on the Internet.
Although recall bias is minimized in studies that link to cell phone records, such studies face other problems. For example, it is impossible to know who is using the cell phone or whether they are using multiple phones and, to a lesser extent, if multiple users of a single phone are represented on one bill.
Do children have a higher risk of developing cancer due to cell phone use than adults? There are currently no data on cell phone use and risk of cancer in children. No published studies to date have included children. Cell phone use by children and adolescents is increasing rapidly, and they are likely to accumulate many years of exposure during their lives ( 1 ). In addition, children may be at greater risk because their nervous systems are still developing at the time of exposure. A large case-control study of childhood brain cancer in several Northern European countries is in progress. Researchers from the Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Spain are conducting an international study—Mobi-Kids—to evaluate risk from new communications technologies (including cell phones) and other environmental factors in young people ages 10 to 24. More information about the Mobi-Kids study is available at http://www.mbkds.com on the Internet.
What can cell phone users do to reduce their exposure to RF energy? The Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have suggested some steps that cell phone users can take if they are concerned about potential health risks ( 2 , 29 ):
Reserve the use of cell phones for shorter conversations, or for times when a conventional phone is not available.
Switch to a type of cell phone with a hands-free device that will place more distance between the phone and the head of the user.
Hands-free kits reduce the amount of RF energy exposure to the head because the antenna, which is the source of RF energy, is not placed against the head.
Where can I find more information about RF energy from my cell phone? The FCC provides information about the specific absorption rate (SAR) of cell phones produced and marketed within the last 1 to 2 years. The SAR corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a cell phone user ( 30 ). Consumers can access this information using the phone's FCC ID number, which is usually located on the case of the phone, and the FCC's ID search form, which is located at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid on the Internet.
What are other sources of RF energy? The most common use of RF energy is for telecommunications ( 2 ). In the United States, cell phones currently operate in a frequency range of about 1,800 to 2,200 megahertz (MHz) ( 1 ). In this range, the electromagnetic radiation produced is in the form of non-ionizing RF energy. Cordless phones (phones that have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house) often operate at radio frequencies similar to those of cell phones; however, since cordless phones have a limited range and require a nearby base, their signals are generally much less powerful than those of cell phones. Among other RF energy sources, AM/FM radios and VHF/UHF televisions operate at lower radio frequencies than cell phones, whereas sources such as radar, satellite stations, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices, industrial equipment, and microwave ovens operate at somewhat higher radio frequencies ( 2 ).
How common is brain cancer and has the incidence of brain cancer changed over time?
Brain cancer incidence and mortality (death) rates have changed little in the past decade. In the United States, 22,070 new diagnoses and 12,920 deaths from brain cancer were estimated for 2009.
The 5-year survival rate for brain cancers diagnosed from 1999 to 2006 was 36.3 percent ( 21 ). This means that 36.3 out of every 100 persons diagnosed with brain cancer today will survive at least 5 years.
The risk of developing brain cancer increases with age; the incidence rate from 2003 to 2007 for people under age 65 was 4.6 for every 100,000 persons in the U.S. population, compared with 19.4 for every 100,000 persons age 65 or older ( 21 ).

Review Overview
Brazil Adult film
This year will be the most awaiting game which is FIFA 2014. This year it will held in Brazil. But before that an adult film title Copa Do Sexo is released recently. This adult film is ordinary porn film which is a parody version of Football teams.
2014 World Cup in Brazil will be colored with the World Cup-themed porn. Quoted from 101greatgoals . com, Brazilian pornographic film company, Brasilerinhas, would make a porn movie. Previously, in 2010, Brasilerinhas managed to achieve success with movie-themed porn 2010 World Cup. At the 2010 World Cup, a porn film titled Copa do Sexo benefit tens of millions of dollars. Themed porn movies most prestigious soccer tournament in the world has started filming since December 18, 2013. There will not be a porn star in a movie-like footballer Copa do Sexo vol 2, because Brasileirinhas never had legal trouble because of using similar porn actor Cristiano Ronaldo in the year 2008.
