Survey: Consumers not willing to pay $500 for iPhone
Only 1 percent of consumers are willing to pay $500 for Apple's iPhone, according to results of a survey released this week. Nearly half of consumers surveyed, however, would buy the device if it was priced from $200 to $299. "Online market research firm Compete Inc. surveyed 379 people in the U.S., most of whom had heard of the iPhone and have shopped for an iPod, to find out how interested they are in the device to produce the uncommissioned report," reports InfoWorld. "Among the 26 percent of respondents who said they're likely to buy an iPhone, only 1 percent said they'd pay $500 for it. When Apple introduced the iPhone in January, it said it would cost $500 on the low end. 42 percent of those who said they're likely to buy the phone said they'd pay $200 to $299."

95% of all statistics are wrong. Come on, how many people were willing to buy a 400 dollar iPod when it first came out? No one. (well except for me) the same will go with the iPhone, the early adopters will buy it - they will love it, and will spread the gosspil. SURVEY SAYS: Surveys suck.

I'm not exactly sure how much the original iPod was, but asking people how much they'd pay for the iPhone could be similar to asking people how much they'd pay for an iPod before it was ever released. How many people said "yes" to a $400 or $500 price tag on an iPod? I know people have a basic understanding of what the iPhone will do, but until I can pick one up and "play" with it I think it's difficult to say how much I'd pay.

Check your math Mr. Angell.
Not 1 percent are willing to pay $500 - rather 1 percent of the 26 percent that thought they'd buy one - that's .26 percent.
And 11 percent (42 percent of that same 26 percent that thought they'd buy) is a far cry from "nearly half".

82% of arguments that quote statistical data employ numbers that are made up on the spot.
It took 379 people only to realize people would rather pay less? And what kind of a sample is that? Pathetic! I cannot believe anyone is really paying Compete Inc. for that and still allows them to boast the sample size. Ridiculous. Also, mc123 is right. The device will likely depend on hands-on impressions. As did the iPod. When the original iPod came out, I thought the price was a little on the steep side too. Then I got to play with one at a local Apple dealer. And although "play" is an overstatement as the unit was already spoken for and I therefore could only "play" though the protective plastic, I was sold on the spot. It was plain worth it. This was before the hype, before everyone had one. Today is much different. Once it drops, iPhones will be all over the place, bought by people who can afford the latest gadget for the fun of it, and all the people around them will get plenty of hands-on opportunities.

It funny, there are so many points against the iphone other than price, but it will still sell like crazy. Smart for jobs not to release the $350 widescreen ipod yet. I'm on the fence. my biggest problem with it is the standard apple closed system. I'm a palm/treo user and love the third party apps and without that stuff I'm unsure, but you never know. The sttatistic will totally change once it's actaully available. If the release wasn't delayed I'd have one already becuase now we all have time to study it and make a rational other than impulsive buy.

bmann…i've also got a treo…but how nice will it be that you never have to worry about installing something that's going to put you in a reset loop?
welcome change, to me….assuming there's a ready enough supply of 'sanctioned' apps available eventually.

I would pay $400 for an iPhone if I could pop a Cingular (sorry,AT&T) PrePay SIM into it and use it contract free.
For having to chain myself to AT&T for 2 years they should pay me for such torture.
What I really want is a CDMA iPhone run through Sprint or US Cellular. I would pay $400 for that. But when you are talking $450-500+ for a phone,no matter what it does…no.
Posted by LC Angell on February 23, 2007 at 3:47 PM (CST)
Look, if anyone thinks there won't be incentives to buy iPhone then they're not being realistic. Cingular and Apple are bound to come up with something, probably a huge discount on the service contract. You buy the phone, you get the service for free, or close to free. For as much as Apple touts the fact that they "changed the industry" to bring out iPhone the fact of the matter is that people are accustomed to getting the hardware at a dramatically discounted price. No amount of Apple rhetoric will change that basic fact. Therefore it only follows that some kind of discount program will be offered.
Posted by LC Angell on February 23, 2007 at 4:52 PM (CST)
"You buy the phone, you get the service for free, or close to free."
Cingular already said that is never going to happen.
Posted by LC Angell on February 23, 2007 at 5:07 PM (CST)
Cingular and other companies say lots of things. I think you all remember that Apple itself said that they'd never make a video iPod too. Guess what? They did. I think the ods are VERY good that incentives will be available. No one is going to buy an iPhone when there are dozens of servicable smart phones available for $100 or less from Cingular and other providers. iPhone is cool but it's not that cool.

sure it would be nice to have solid apps, but my ipod freezes all the time, what to stop the iphone from freezing too. And i could do without all the extra programs on the palm, but they are handy.

It is hard for me to put any faith in statistics that are generated from such a small sample size.

I think Apple has a real marketing challenge in "Selling" the idea that this is the ultimate all-in-one device…and you aren't paying $499 for a smartphone: you are paying $200 for an Ipod Nano, and $299 for a sleek new phone that the Nano comes built into it.
I think selling a $200+$299 product like this is easier then selling a $499 product. Obviously Apple knows this as Jobs tried to present it that way in his intro to the iPhone presentation…but they need to do a much better job of convincing people that is true.
I originally thought the price was absurd…but then when I think about the fact that in my pocket I have a $200 cell phone, $200 iPod and $200 PDA….an all-in-one device for $499 doesn't quite seem so bad.
With that said, I will wait at least a generation or two before even considering purchasing the phone…#1 for the cost to come down, but #2 for the phone to have more memory to truly function as a full screen video capable ipod.

Well, as I am a HUGE supporter of survey research and representative statistical samples…I will assure you that surveys of this type are not 95% wrong…and with a niche target, a sample size of 397 can be a good enough size with a limited margin of error.
Bottom line is, the survey is right…AND you are right. It is likely true that only 1% of the market (+/-5% margin of error) will pay $499 for the iPhone at this juncture. That 1% makes up the early adopters you speak of. Just as the iPod took a couple years to become such a mainstream product, the iPhone likely will take time too…and I think that is Apple's model…They want to build a cache and make it buzz worthy with early adopters feeling "Special"...then word of mouth will spread, prices will come down, memory and quality will improve, and walla…the iPhone will be a mass market device.
But that's not happening in June 2007 at the $499 price, and that's all this survey is asking.

Do Cingular phones accept SIM cards? If I remember correctly, there was another carrier that accepted SIM cards. (besides T-Mobile)
Posted by LC Angell on February 23, 2007 at 7:10 PM (CST)
don't forget that the iPod didn't take off in popularity until iTunes came out. Look at sales in the first year and you'll see.
Until the price came down and people saw it as a good product, the numbers won't be overwhelming, although I do agree early adopters will always buy anything new and good.
Hopefully, when the word gets out and sales ramp up, the price will drop from $499 to $399. Then it will start ramping up the volume.
Posted by LC Angell on February 23, 2007 at 7:32 PM (CST)
People already have cell phones and iPods, I'm not sure they know why they need to get an iPhone or what it would do that is new or worth the extra money. A phone that plays music or movies? Is that it? Is there more to it? If people figure that out they might be willing to pay extra for it.
Posted by LC Angell on February 23, 2007 at 8:10 PM (CST)
Mike!! iTunes came out in Jan. 2001 and then the iPod came out Dec. 2001… For us Mac users :-p
I have a Treo phone and I don't do business and yes I paid a ridiculous price but it's a PDA so you have to expect to pay a high ticket price. The iPhone is just as much as PDA's on the market cept they offer more
Posted by LC Angell on February 23, 2007 at 9:19 PM (CST)
I agree with MC. Nobody wanted to buy the iPod when it first came out because it was "too expensive"...6 years later, the iPod is the most popular media player on the market, taking more than 75% of MP3 Player market share.

Boston Hill Nursery??
faltered(Hamburg NY Z5/6)April 2, 2008
I received a flyer in the mail from Boston Hill Nursery last week. Never heard of them. But they seem to have quite a selection of trees, shrubs, and perennials.
Just wondering if anyone in the southtowns has ever been and if you liked it there. I have limited time and money to travel to different nurseries, so I'm trying to only go to those that I hear are worthwhile.
I've stopped there to look at tree's and bushes before, but have never bought anything from them.
I buy most of my trees from Turnbull's in North Collins. They have a bareroot tree for sale right now and they are VERY reasonable.

Two South American Olympic bids decided Saturday
Sep 9, 2011, 2:25 PM EDT
It all comes down to one game. Well, two games, actually.
Brazil vs. the Dominican Republic. Argentina vs. Puerto Rico.
Those are your two semi-finals of the FIBA Americas tournament on Saturday. But if your goal is a spot in the 2012 London Olympics, these are the big games. Win Saturday and you are in, lose and you head to a pre-Olympics qualifying tournament next July to slug it out for a second-chance berth against other teams that just missed out. Sunday the two winners will play for the Americas championship.
Brazil — playing without Nene, Anderson Varejao or Leandro Barbosa — are the top seed and have lost only one game all tournament. That was their previous meeting with the Dominican Republic. The D.R. is coached by John Calipari and has Al Horford, who has been very good all tournament. But how the D.R. does in this game swings on Francisco Garcia and Charlie Villanueva — when those two are on this a very hard team to beat, but those two have been wildly inconsistent. Shocking with them, I know. Brazil has been playing better the last week, but if it's an on day for the Dominican Republic's swing guys, they can win this.
Argentina came into this as the favorite and with the most stacked roster — Manu Ginobili, Luis Scola, Carlos Delfino and Andreas Nocioni. Argentina's only loss is to Brazil, and they beat Puerto Rico 81-74 when they met in the group stage. Puerto Rico features J.J. Barea, Carlos Arroyo and Renaldo Balkman — all good players who need exceptional games if the island nation is to pull the upset here.
Check back with PBT on Saturday and we will recap these games. And if Puerto Rico wins we will run a photo of Barea's girlfriend.

After seeing the condition of the first Corvette to fall into the National Corvette Museum's Sinkhole and the last one out, it's pretty hard to be excited about the retrieval of the 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette. But the final Corvette is now out and that marks the completion of "Operation Corvette Plus" which is what the workers dubbed the rescue of the "Great 8″ Corvettes that fell into the 40-ft sinkhole on February 12th.
C5 Corvette
Good news from the National Corvette Museum this week. They announced on Monday with a photo posted on their facebook page that construction workers had finally located the 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 in the sky dome sinkhole. The Z06 was one of two member-donated Corvettes to have fallen into the sinkhole and as the surveillance tape shows, it was the first Corvette to fall when the floor split open in the early morning hours of February 12th.
This might be a great case of the glass being half full or half empty, depending on your perspective.
Half empty? The driver of this blue C5 Corvette convertible was driving at a high rate of speed when he lost control and sent his sports car cannonballing into a ditch of nasty water near The Outlets mall in Pearl, Mississippi.
Half full? He was not injured and just got a little wet as he escaped from the Corvette.
If you're looking for some used Corvette parts to help with a restoration, this might be your big chance.
Eric and Keith Hay, owners of Wayne Auto Parts in Dover, Ohio, say after 57 years it's time to retire so they will be shutting their doors for good at the end of June unless someone buys the land before then.
Detroit Autorama takes place each year in early March. For those of us up here in the snowy Midwest, it's the first sign that winter may actually be over and that car show season is in the near future. 2014 marked the 62nd edition of the massive indoor custom car show. Thousands of custom, restored, and original cars fill Cobo Hall each year competing for a multitude of awards. Click past the jump to see our gallery of Corvettes for the 2014 Detroit Autorama.
The owners of the Corvette resting at the bottom of the pile in the shocking sinkhole inside the National Corvette Museum say they're not sorry they donated their 2001 Mallett Hammer Conversion Z06 just six weeks ago.
Kevin and Linda Helmintoller made the trip to Bowling Green on Saturday to see firsthand the sinkhole that ate their car, which appears to be the lowest in the stack of eight Corvettes that suddenly tumbled into the earth on Wednesday.
After looking at the damaged Corvettes at the National Corvette Museum for the last couple of days, I think we need to remember why we love these cars so much. So here's a random Corvette gallery that we've entitled "Corvette Fever".

The news that a huge 40 foot wide sinkhole opening up under the National Corvette Museum has shocked many of us. After watching much of the activity and videos from the Museum yesterday via social media and webcams, we thought it appropriate to now take a closer look at those eight Corvettes which fell into the cavern under the gold skydome.
The "Real McCoy" $2.3M Sale Postponed During Dispute of Ownership on Parts
More than the weather failed to cooperate for the world's largest collector car auction, Dana Mecum's 2700 car Kissimmee event held January 17th through January 26th. Each year hundreds of Corvettes change hands during the ten day event as thousands of collectors and enthusiasts leave the cold weather blanketing most of the country and make their pilgrimage to the event in sunny, warm Florida. This year, though hundreds of airline flights were cancelled due to the weather, the pilgrimage still managed to take place even though the pilgrims were greeted with sunny but not very warm weather in Florida, the attendance slipped by over 6% and sales dropped by over $8M, down 11.4%.
One of my all time favorite annual Corvette events is the NCRS Winter Regional in Kissimmee, Florida. While I love doing the stories and coverage of the new C7 Corvette Stingray and Z06, there's just something about walking through a field literately strewn with used Corvette parts and accessories for every generation but the C7.

Hotel Sa Muvara reviews
- May 2007
- Venere Guest
- Couple
It is a very nice facility in a beautiful location. Service was very good. The restaurant was also good for both breakfast and lunch. The only negative was kind of noisy rooms (chairs scraping on the tile floors upstairs, echoes from the bathrooms, toilets flushing and hot water heater in the morning). Also it seems to be very popular with the motorcycle groups - they take over the parking lots with their equipment.

New Machine, Big Problem
I just got started on my new machine. It wasn't as complicated as I thought it would be. I have 1 major problem.
I filled the bobbin, threaded the machine properly, and picked out a programmed pattern to try it out.
The pattern is a heart. The problem, the bobbin thread is showing on top instead of the color embroidery thread. I used a piece of sheeting material, and the stabilizer that came with the machine.
The heart came out very nice, the stitching is great. The red thread shows up on the wrong side, and only a small amount, that is almost all white too. A very tiny bit of red came out on the front when it first started.
I've tried re threading, removing and replacing the bobbin, but it still comes out with the bobbin thread on top.
I finally got too frustrated and left it. Can anyone give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong.
Pictured is the right side of fabric. You can see in the center where it started out red.
I appreciate any help and input I can get.
You may need to adjust your tension....it determines how far up into the fabric the bobbin thread is pulled. This may be related to the weight of thread you are using as well as the material you are stitching. Your user manual should have something in it on adjusting tension.
So where does the red thread end up--is it under the bottom? Did you thread with the foot raised so the thread can go into the tension disks? And lower the foot before stitching? It has almost always been that when the problem is on top, it originates with the bobbin, and vice versa. Looks maybe like you don't have the bobbin thread thru it's tension guide. Otherwise, change weight of bottom thread and try different design (it could 'possibly' be corrupted design)...but I don't think so. Let us know what you are trying.
I know red thread started at the beginning...not sure if it ended there. The thread I used on both top and bottom came with the machine. I'll re read on threading of the bobbin and adjust it. I'll be back....I hope your here too :)
Thank you both so much for your help.
Here's a picture of the back.

Oriental/ lilies in general myths or facts?
This year I got a bunch of lilies this year some asiatic, orienpets,and orientals and I researched orientals and they say that they only last for 3 to four years in the garden is this true? Also heard that they are very slow to multiply if they even do is this true? And I heard that they are very sensitive to ethenyle and if they are exposed to it that it can cause them not to bloom because i'm in town by a semi major road and I would have ruled this theory out but my new lily Black beauty never bloomed it came up about three feet but has no buds at all so it that true? All of the other lilies (all my tiger lilies, a Super nova orienpet, a Landini, my other lilies from years before bloomed, and about another 10 new lilies variying all bloomed but my one oriental lily didnt)
I've lived here for about 2 years now with all my lilies in the same spot and they always came up just fine here in Fond du lac
thanks for the help Cc_coraline
I have not had much success with Oriental Lilies. They don't usually come back the following year.
On the other hand, my Trumpet and Asiatic keep on multiplying.
Orienpet also is doing fine, but multiplies much more slowly than Trumpet and Aisiatic.
Some of my Orientals failed after the first season, the rest petered out over a couple or three seasons. So I don't bother with them anymore. I stick with the Asiatics - which do multiply and get better every year.
Not sure where Fond du Lac is - MI/WI/MN?
I live just west of Minneapolis, MN. Orientals are more picky regarding needs compared to most other hybrid lilies, but if they get what they want, they are long lived. While most hybrid lilies prefer neutral to slightly acid soils, they are somewhat tolerant of somewhat alkaline soils, which are certain death for orientals, which prefer acid soils and are usually tolerant of neutral soils. In a similar manner, orientals are not as tolerant of summer heat extremes as other hybrids are. Oriental lilies also require better soil drainage than most other hybrids. Hybrid oriental lilies are easier to grow than oriental species in general, yet I grow 3 species orientals here without problems: L. speciosum var. rubrum (6 yrs), L. speciosum var. album (4 yrs), L. auratum (3 yrs).
Black Beauty is a hybrid of oriental lily and asiatic lily (L. speciosum var. rubrum x L. henryi) and is much easier to grow, and hardier. Mine has been thriving and multiplying for 10 years.
I'm in WI
SO if I'm understanding this hybrid oriental lilies are hardier than orientals in general or are they more or less the same?
What about Turks caps are they hardy like asiatic and trumpets or more like orientals?
Are trumpets as hardy and reproductive as asiatics?
And how slow reproductive and how hardy are orienpets?
Thanks for the help Cc_coraline
Trumpets are very hardy and thrive in Chicago. In my garden, they usually bloom later than Asiatics. This is my 'Golden Splendor':
I have several others that I have not taken picture of.
They don't multiply as fast as Asiatic. I like them both but have a lot more trumpets in my garden than Asiatic because I like their fragrance and tall stature.
L. 'Regale Album' blooms very early in the season even before Asiatic:
The only orienpet I have is 'Silk Road':
I planted 9 bulbs 3 years ago. This year I saw 10 shoots whereas my trumpets usually double or triple every year. Asiatics make a lot of new bulbils every year.
If Tiger lily you mean is this:
Then it is very hardy and long lived. It blooms when my trumpets begin to fade and right before L. speciosum. And it makes a lot of black bulbils along the stem. Quite prolific and gives a lot of oomph to the garden in summer.
I have different lilies in my garden to prolong the blooming season. I have lilies in bloom from late May though August. Right now my L. speciosum Rubrum is in bloom. They flop, though, because they get only an hour or so of mid-day sun.
They would stand up straight in full sun.
Hi Coraline,
Bloom order.....mine start with martagons then asiatics, LA hybrids, Trumpets, Orientpets and Orientals....this is of course a generalization, but roughly the way it goes. The tiger lilies I am familiar with have asiatic blood in them and are very hardy and productive.
Orientals and Trumpets are not as hardy as Asiatics and need to be planted deeper with good mulching in the winter whereas, Martagons are the hardiest of all.
Here is a pic of a Marty
The amount of flowers and first time blooming depends on the age & size of the bulbs you plant. Some types are smaller than others when mature. Most likely yours didn't flower because they weren't mature enough. Make sure to feed them good and let them die back before cutting stems to build reserves for next years show.
Generally Asiatics multiply the quickest, followed by LA hybrids, Orientpets, Trumpets, Orientals with Martagons taking years. Hence, the higher price for Martagon bulbs vs Asiatics.
Also, some bulbs like to sulk more than others, not coming up for a year or so after planting......this is a common trait of the Martagon.
Enjoyed the lovely pics from pitimpinai.
Thanks, CC_Coraline & flora.
As Flora said, whether lilies depending on the size of the bulbs. If they are small or Martagon or species, they'll take time to establish before they bloom.
If the bulbs are large, they usually bloom the first year, if you plant in early spring, the following spring-summer if you plant them in fall.
Tiger lily from tiny bulbils will take a few years to bloom.
But, boy, it's worth the wait.
Yes, My 'Silk Road' bloomed the first year. I bought the bulbs from The Lily Garden. It is the most expensive lily I have ever purchased other than Martagon, but the bulbs were huge - as big as my fist. Silk Road is about 6 ft. tall. :-D
I pulled this thread up since now, most of my oriental lilies are over four years old and the oldest have kind of petered out. Last year, (even with the late frost) they were more floriferous. I did move a few of the largest, but I just keep buying more and more and tuck them into the garden.
I kind of remember hearing something about they start growing too deep - has anyone tried to dig them up and replant them a bit shallower? Just an idea.
I planted a few oriental lilies the fall before last and got very good results. I used the varietal Josephine that I got as bulbs via a catalog order and also some called Maru that I got as freebies from a friend that bought the potted and already blooming kind at Lowes [and was letting them die in their pots so he gave them to me]. Anyway... I planted them in the front bed with ammendments and bonemeal because the soil is clayish. I left the bedraggled stems on the ones already growing stand so they could capture what little energy they could on their few leftover leaves. Last year all of them came up and were extremely healthy. Every one of them bloomed as well. There was one in the shade of a tree and it's leaves were rather floppy and pathetic compared to the others but that tree has since been removed by roommate who was worried about it falling on our cars.
I was so impressed by them that I bought a bag of mixed oriental lilies and put those in the other spots were there weren't any.
They are pretty big and showy so I planted more muted stuff like bee balm and ajuga around them so the yard has an overall balance.
Of Note: My roommate uses pine needle mulch in the front yard so the soil is rather acidic, and as other posters have said, oriental lilies seem to like that.
Looking forward to seeing how much they have multiplied this coming spring.
Also of note: They emerge from the ground rather late so just be patient and remember where you planted them.
I'm in zone 5 and have both asiatic lillies and orientals. My orientals (stargazers and muscadets) get larger and larger every year. The asiatics tend to multiply but not grow very tall. Also, I'm on year 5 of the stargazers and they look better than ever!
i have had all sorts of lilies and seemingly every issue described in this thread. few years back i stumbled upon this link about micro-climates and have been re-organizing my garden to suit each plant

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Chevy, Zinger whittling away at it
Scores of chores remain on to-do list
WINNIPEG GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and director of hockey ops/assistant GM Craig Heisinger are spending the weekend attacking many issues that need to be resolved ASAP.
Here's Cheveldayoff's latest take on a few of them:
The priority list:
"There's lots of things running concurrently that are tremendous priorities for us. There's coaching staff, there's scouting staff, there's the draft, there's Andrew Ladd and some other guys there (restricted and unrestricted free agents) who are going to need attention very, very quickly.
"We have to connect with the players, setting them up. A lot of guys indicated to me when I talked to them that they'd like to come in early and look at housing in July. We're going to whittle away at each one, one at a time."
On whether Andrew Ladd, if re-signed, would remain the captain or if that would be a decision made by the head coach:
"There would have to be a really compelling argument placed to me to change my mind that he wouldn't be the captain. From all I've gathered and everyone I've talked to, this guy is the leader of the team."
On the draft and possible trading up or down from the No. 7 spot in the first round:
"None of the general managers have called with respect to talking about trades yet. You can never say never to anything. You have to be open. But someone would have to really blow my socks off (to make a deal) to add someone that fits our salary structure and fits our positional needs. If we can get a good, young player at No. 7, that's going to be someone we're going to build around for a long, long time."
What do they expect to get at No. 7?
"The top 10 guys are very strong. There's not a consensus No. 1, but you could get the best guy at No. 10 and no one would scoff at you and think you're crazy to think that. When you have such a high pick as this, I don't think you can NOT draft the best player available. From the position standpoint, if you start out-thinking yourself and taking something over another... I don't know if that's the proper approach. I'd like a guy who is going to fit from the character standpoint, fit from a hockey sense and speed standpoint as to what we hope to accomplish."
Knowing the roster and what's in the organization, what would you like to get at No. 7?
"I want to get an impact player, whatever that position is. We have some guys coming into their own as impact players like Evander Kane and we have some young guys who are still going to take some time to develop like (Alexander) Burmistrov. If we could add more goals to the lineup that would be a huge, huge thing. But you have to project where the roster is going to be in a few years. A guy at No. 7 could be ready right now or could be a few years down the line."

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the use of FRAX® (Fracture risk assessment tool) for changes in bone health risk factors and treatment decision-making.
Data Sources: A convenience sample of seventeen women, 50 years and older, English-speaking, generally healthy, with the ability to perform weight-bearing exercise, presenting for a DXA scan in a Midwestern city between August 2009 and November 2009, and not already being treated for osteoporosis or osteopenia. Self-administered diet and exercise questionnaires were completed by participants, followed by individual counseling related to FRAX® absolute risk and NOF guidelines. Questionnaires were repeated at approximately three months later, along with a short survey regarding the information's impact.
Conclusions: FRAX® increased a participant's perception of future risk for osteoporosis and desire to change bone health habits. About 50% actually made changes in calcium and vitamin D consumption and weight-bearing exercise. FRAX® could not be applied to those with osteopenia of the spine only; and a variety of bone health risk factors not covered by FRAX® were identified.
Implications for Practice: The FRAX® risk assessment tool can be useful to motivate clients to change bone health behavior. However, it has limitations in its use as a tool for whether or not to prescribe bisphosphonates.

A Half a Century Ago Two Men Met in Vienna to Decide the World's Fate
Salisbury, MD – In this age of Al Qaeda and the long war in Afghanistan, Delmarva Public Radio's Dick Rosse recalls a much darker time, when literally the fate of the world was held in the hands of two men. President John Kennedy and Soviet leader Nikita Khruschev met for the first time in Vienna 50 years ago sizing up each other just as the Cold War was about to become even more frigid.

Weird Wednesday
|Daryl Duke
|Elliot Gould, Christopher Plummer, Susannah York
|Run Time
|More Info
Movie production and distribution is a shady netherworld. The money for films has come from every quarter, from international prostitution and blackmail to Nazi gold. But the most frequently used extra-revenue stream was and is, government subsidies and tax shelters. In the '70s, Canada had a whopper of a shell game going. Producers were able to make films in Canada and, through a system of write-offs and reporting irregularities, they could turn a profit even on unsuccessful product. The resulting films, international coproductions mostly, are now known fondly as Canuxploitation movies. Not all Canuxploitation films were tax dodges, but many were. I'm not 100% sure about THE SILENT PARTNER, and I don't much care, because whatever the circumstances of its creation, it is one of the best movies of the '70s. Elliott Gould stars as a bank teller who spies a way to steal a lot of money from his till and get away with it. The problem with his plan is that he antagonizes a real bank robber, who's also a real mean dude (played brilliantly by Christopher Plummer). Plummer, who has cased and robbed the bank in the guise of a department store Santa, puts the pieces together fairly quickly and starts to make Gould's life a living hell. But Gould, a chess enthusiast with a mind for strategy, counters every move. Soon the two man are involved in a real life game with their lives and freedom at stake. The tension ratchets up to an unbearable intensity before the sublime conclusion. Written by Curtis Hanson and directed by Daryl Duke (PAYDAY). With large Canadian funnyman John Candy in a small role. (Lars)
