In our private assisted living apartments, residents benefit from 24-hour staffing, help with personal care, medication assistance, weekly housekeeping, linen service, and three daily meals. We're here to help you maintain your independence by offering the help you need, when you need it.
Skilled Nursing
For residents who need 24-hour nursing care, we offer private and companion rooms to help seniors continue to live life to the fullest. Far from the sterile image of the traditional nursing home, our care center is a warm, welcoming environment featuring on-call nursing assistance, licensed medication management, an incontinence care program, and medical director oversight.
The Lutheran Senior Services Difference
As a Lutheran Senior Services (LSS) retirement community, Lenoir Woods is part of a 150-year tradition of compassionate service. At the heart of our philosophy of care is LSS' Christian mission: Older Adults Living Life to the Fullest.
Serving with heart is at the core of all we do. We cherish people of all beliefs and strive to meet the complete needs of each person we serve — body, mind, and spirit. To that end, we are dedicated to a comprehensive approach to senior care and services, from our skilled team of caregivers to our full time chaplains who provide spiritual support for residents and their families.

Plenty of Fun Just Around the Corner
Located in the heart of Columbia, Missouri, Lenoir Woods is just a short drive from everywhere. Columbia and its neighboring communities offer a wealth of cultural attractions, dining, shopping, golf, and medical facilities. Click below to see what Columbia and its sister cities have to offer.
Welcome to Lenoir Woods
Mike and Priscilla Farrall
Seeking relief from the summer heat near their Austin home, the pair of retired academians would tour around the Midwest in their RV. Along the way, they stopped at a lot of retirement communities. "None of them measured up to Lenoir Woods," Mike says.
Today, when the Farralls look out the front door of their patio home, the woods are there to greet them. And just beyond the woods, they can still find the same energetic social life they were used to living in college towns. "Columbia's just like a little Austin," Priscilla says. "It's got the same flavor…it's just a little smaller."
"Our time here has been better than we expected," Priscilla says. "We're fascinated that we know more neighbors here than we ever did in Texas during our working lives." The secret, she says, is making it a point to sit down with anyone you can during lunch and dinner time. "We don't make dates to meet anyone," she says. "We just sit down with whoever's sitting there. There's nothing like eating lunch with a neighbor."
While the Farralls weren't the best Texans, it turns out they're going to be great Missourians.
Elizabeth Ann Morgan
"My old house was more than 100 years old and very large. It had four bedrooms, it had a lot of yard, and so it was a lot of work. Now, my new home at Lenoir Woods? It's the handiest house I've ever had. It's just a heavenly place to live.
"The staff takes care of the snow and the leaves and anything else I could need. Everything's fixed just the way I like it, and it's terrific having a maintenance department to call when something needs fixed. They get right on it, whatever the problem is.
"They are all so warm and friendly. They thank you for letting them serve you. It's truly, truly wonderful. They think of what they do as being a ministry, and that adds a dimension to life at Lenoir Woods that you don't see anywhere else. The staff always tries to make it the best day for each of us.
"I'm healthier since I moved here. I'm exercising an hour a day, using the weights, walking the nature trails… And just being around other people is tremendously helpful. There's always someone to walk with or work out with. I never feel lonely.
"Everything you need is right here!"
Lyall "Fletch" Fletcher
"I'm very pleased with my decision to move here," he says, lining up a shot on the pool table he loves to play on daily. "I really think I made the right decision."
"It's good for me here. I'm diabetic, and here I'm taking care of it better since I moved here than I ever have before," he says, always moving to the next shot. "And the staff treats me pretty good here."
Fletch plays at least two games a day in Lenoir Woods' game room with residents and staff alike. He's also in charge of keeping the table in good order and setting up tournaments, one of which he ended up winning. "We have quite a few people here who play," he says. "Experienced players, too. They keep me on my toes."
For Fletch, this is what retirement should look like.
How did you come to Lenoir Woods?
Joe Barone
If you're going to be a mystery novelist, there are worse places to grow up than a state mental facility.
That's where Lenoir Woods' resident author Joe Barone came of age, and its the setting for his first published novel, The Body in the Record Room. "My father was the superintendent for the facility, and we all lived in a house there on the grounds starting when I was eight years old," Joe says. "My book doesn't have anything to do with anything I saw when I was growing up, but they say you should always write what you know."
Joe wrote Body soon after he moved to Lenoir Woods. " I love it here," he says. "It's like living in the small town where I grew up in the 1950s." (Before his family moved to the house at the mental institution, of course.) "The people are nice, and they look after each other, but you still have your privacy and independence."
Cyrus Harbourt
This former university professor is a lifelong music lover: "Music as a part of my life goes all the way back to the fifth grade," he says. "It's always been a hobby."
Calling his love of the saxophone a 'hobby' might be underselling it somewhat — he owns all four of the main saxophones, tenor, baritone, soprano and alto. And he's spent a good amount of time, both before and after retiring from the electrical engineering department at Mizzou, playing in local dance band "Memories" in venues around the Columbia area.
During that time, he and his wife Mary found themselves beginning to plan for the future. "We were looking ahead after I retired and decided it was time to stop supporting a big house and a whole yard," he recalls. "We decided we wanted to put ourselves in a situation to be as independent as we could be."
The move hit the right note with this musician! "It has exceeded our expectation in many respects," he says. "We do enjoy the wide range of activities available out here. There always seems to be something to do every day."
And he hopes to add to the activities calendar in his own way. Presently, he's looking for help playing those four different types of saxophones. "I am convinced there are some latent saxophone players here at Lenoir," he says, "so I'm trying to put together a saxophone quartet."
Ed and Judith Chmielewski
It would be easy to mistake Ed and Judith Chmielewskis' patio home at Lenoir Woods for a gallery. The walls are lined with works of art gathered from their travels around the world, from Inuit soapstone carvings to Japanese prints to large scale photographs taken here in the Midwest.
But the couple aren't just patrons of the visual arts; Ed and Judith have been instrumental (no pun intended) in arranging for performances by the Missouri Symphony Orchestra on the Lenoir Woods campus.
"We both appreciate things that satisfy our entertainment needs but stimulate the intellect as well," says Judith. "Columbia has such a rich arts and theater scene to take advantage of. We love being able to bring those things here to share with our neighbors."
That's because, as much as the Chmielewskis love being part of Columbia's arts community, they also love being part of Lenoir Woods' senior living community. "The people here are so dedicated to one another," says Ed. "You don't feel stigmatized because you're getting older. Everyone simply accepts it. There's a sense of real caring."
"A sense of joy, even," says Judith, picking up where her husband left off. "People often think living in a retirement community is a downer, and that's not the case here at all. It's so upbeat. There's always something new to experience, and we're only too happy to help make that happen by bringing these groups to campus."
Dr. Tom Shrout
"I came across an observation once in a daily devotion," says Dr. Tom Shrout, retired professor of religion and philosophy at Culver Stockton University. "'Our faith is 2,000 years old. Our knowledge is not.' What is the meaning of the stories that are told in the Bible and what do they mean to us today?" Tom spent 15 years at Culver Stockton trying to figure that out, and before that, he served as dean of the Missouri School of Religion, which was later absorbed into the University of Missouri.
In 1954, Tom discovered that a friend of his, Pastor Edmond Miller, was serving as administrator at Lenoir Woods. "I didn't have room at my house for all the gardening I wanted to do, so Ed gave me a garden here," Tom says. "After spending a little time there, there was no question where we would want to retire. We loved it here."
And now that he's made his home at Lenoir Woods, he hasn't been disappointed. "It's a terrific place to live," he says, adding with a smile, "There's almost too much to do here."
Of course, a lot of what Tom does even today is read. After all, you can take a teacher out of the classroom, but you can't take the classroom out of the teacher.

Abstract | This paper presents an initial investigation into the detection and quantification of persons in real-world beach scenes for the automated monitoring of tourist sites. Aside from the obvious use of video and digital imagery for surveillance applications, this research focuses on the analysis of images for the purpose of predicting trends of tourist activities at beach sites in Australia. The proposed system uses image enhancement and segmentation techniques to detect objects in cluttered scenes. Following these steps, a newly proposed feature extraction technique is used to represent important information in the extracted objects for training of a neural network. The neural classifier is used to distinguish the extracted objects between "person" and "non-person" categories to assist in quantification. Encouraging results are presented for person classification on a database of real-word beach scenes. |

Brenta spire is the most distinctive and highest peak amongst the eastern spires of the Bugaboos. It may not be as popular a peak as the more famous central spires, but it offers a wilder experience to the climbers willing to scale it and the views towards the larger spires from the upper ridges are stupendous. Several routes scale its flanks, most of a moderate nature.Routes:
South ridge: AD-, 4th class
Southeast Face: AD, 5.9
Southern Comfort: AD, 5.8
Southeast Spur: AD, 5.6
Another Fine Day in the Bugaboos: AD,5.7
North Ridge: AD, 4th class
Vockeroth Route: AD, 4th class
Getting There
To reach the base of the peak from Applebee campground make your way up to the Eastpost-Crescent col. Drop down the drainage to a pond beyond Whipping Post peak. Turn left (West) at the pond and scramble up a boulder field to the basin immdiately below Brenta Spire.Alternatively, you may climb over Crescent Spire and access Brenta Spire along the ridge connecting Crescent and Brenta spires.

All Time Low Working With Mike Green
All Time Low are working with Mike Green on their new album. Unsure if that is just for pre-production work, a couple songs, or if he'll be producing the full thing, but - they're definitely working together.
Are they still on Interscope?
Hopefully they pick up their game again. These guys can go big with the right material
Um maybe if they took a little time with their songs they wouldn't sound like trash.
Good move for them. The best thing for the to do would be to get right back into the studio and fix the mess they've made with that last album.
I doubt they will have an album out in 2012. Dirty Work took an extra 6 months longer than they originally said. Plus, I think Time Bomb will actually be a hit for them and they will do a little more behind this album before moving on.
I could honestly see one of the next couple 'singles' they put out after Timebomb being a brand new song. Also a new record maybe late summer/fall 2012? Maybe the entire album with just one producer could really do the trick.
But i agree with you that Timebomb will probably blow up and do for them what they have been striving for for awhile now |
Mike Green produced the four standout tracks off Dirty Work. I really hope they stick with him and not use a dozen different producers/co-writers on their next one.
please go on a hiatus like thrice & thursday, but don't ever come back
Awesome, can't wait to hear some new stuff.
I don't have my hopes for a release anytime soon, but hopefully they can do what they want with this one and not be bogged down by cowriters and a bajillion producers |
For their sake, I hope Time Bomb blows up, but for the sake of all children listening to the radio I hope otherwise. |
Not funny. I want Thrice and Thursday back. ATL, not so much. Unless they came back as the old ATL, not the ATL from the past two albums. |
This is good, I guess. just want it too sound like SWIR. it prob wont, jack was def lying.

General Question
Why does my iPhone lose service when I get home after work?
Asked by Axemusica (9408
December 24th, 2009
I work about 50 miles from where I live. My iPhone is un-jailbroken and is locked. For iPhone n00bs, it's just a normal iPhone 3G you'd get from the Apple store or AT&T.
It's like clock work. I get off of work with 3G coverage. I drive home and get home to find, no coverage until I restart the iPhone. I have service once it's been restarted, but whenever I arrive home from work in the morning, there's no service. I've even tried leaving it that way to see if it comes back later, but it doesn't.
Any ideas?

Yeah I can't wait for Last of Us and GTA V. I just ordered God of War and Bioshock Infinite. I plan on playing those when I finish up school. I've been slowly finishing Infamous 1 and plan on playing 2 this summer as well.
Yesterday I bought a new game for the first time in a long time. Tekken Tag Tournament 2. I had no interest in this game until I had a dream about myself playing it, and ever since that night I had the urge to get it. I suck at fighting games, though. I want to go online but I know I'm going to get my ass kicked. I think @SuperChaos002 plays this? Maybe Loopee, too.
I do own it and play it, but the game pisses me the fuck off. Mainly because there is no story, just fighting after fighting after fighting.
That's my one gripe about it so far. There's really no presentation around the arcade mode to make it feel like you're actually in a fighting tournament, and all the endings I've gotten so far don't even have anything to do with winning the tournament, it's just a piece of the character's backstory. The gameplay is great, though.
Haven't really been interested in video games in a while but baseball season starting up has me wanting to buy The Show.
Yeah, the gameplay is great but in the end, if just feels hollow. Without a story, it doesn't feel complete or well-balanced.
GTA V is the only game I'm planning to buy this year so far. I'd like to beat GTA IV before I play it though. I'd also like to beat Chrono Trigger at some point. I almost beat it a long ass time ago, but I've never finished it. I'd also like to probably play Final Fantasy VII. Never played a Final Fantasy game before.
Saw Django Unchained and Lincoln this past week. Lincoln wasnt incredible to me, but Django Unchained is probably one of the best movies I've ever seen, no lie. Everyone should see that at some point.
I only have Tekken 6. I'm on a few other games, but fighting games I can't bring myself to buying full price
Tekken 6 is great, but Tekken 5 is the best Tekken game ever in my opinion. Tekken 3 is right behind it.
Weirdly, they're my favourites too. Tekken 3 was so great for it's time and you're still able to have fun with it.
You know you're like the 2nd or 3rd guy that acts like a homosexual when speaking to me online, don't you? I really don't know what it is. Maybe I should stop using icons of attractive females.
Lincoln was pretty damn boring to me. I know it wasn't supposed to be action packed or anything, but there just wasn't enough happening for how long that movie was. Haven't seen Django.
I thought Lincoln was all about the performances and that's fine by me. I'd watch Daniel Day Lewis read a grocery list for 2 hours.
Anyone have any playlists that I can download? I'm in need of some new music, for the car in particular, and I don't feel like taking the time to organize all my music myself.
I thought about picking up the Grapes today, but I'm dead broke smh. The last shoes that I bought were the Bred 11 restocks about a month ago. That's my last pair of J's. I'm getting older, and I need to buy more adult shit lol.
how much do they retail for? up in canada i saw them for $200....I've always liked Jordans, but I don't own a single pair because of how expensive they are, and the sub par quality.
I feel you bro. I'm gonna be 26 in September and while a pair of J's are always nice, I feel like I should be spending $160+ on something else. Don't get me wrong, I'll cop a pair or two during the year but not on some obsessive shit.
It's about 180 in the US. I'm mostly compensating for the fact that I couldn't afford them when I was a kid. It's time for me to grow up though. There's no way I can justify spending that much on kicks anymore. Here's what I have though: Olympic 6's True Blue 3's Cement 4's Bred 11's Spizikes The sad thing is, I don't even wear them that much, because I don't want to get them dirty. Edit: I realized some of the pics didn't show, but I'm too lazy to find others lol.
Yeah I know how most of them look. The only ones i don't like are 11s and spizikes, i like 1s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s although. I never grew up watching basketball, so I guess I never really had that connection with them, I only really became a sneakerhead a few years ago. I'd spend that much money on shoes, but only if they were some nice quality shoes. The shit Jordan Brand puts out is bad quality plastic leather. If I want that, I can just pick up some Air Force 1s. Then there are Air Flight 89s, which are similiar to 4s in some ways.

Big Boi/Killer Mike concert last night was super fun! I wanted to see Big Boi while he was still on top, not slipping, and Killer Mike is one of my favorite artists going right now. Mike was hustling the whole event. Love his enthusiasm. He was working the merchandise are basically the whole time he was not on stage. Shaking hands, taking pictures with people. I bought the mixtape below so he would sign it. Dude there didn't have change so Mike pulled a $5 out of his pocket and gave it to me. Can't say enough about him, he always came across like that in interviews, but in person he was there for all the fans having fun. My brother got a pick with his arm around him, hilarious. On stage Mike was amped up and gave a great performance. Plus those El-P beats, live and loud, damn! Big Boi did a really nice job as well. You forget how many hits the guy has, until he just starts banging them out one after one and it seems like it never ends. He did a nice mixture of old and new (Rosa Parks, B.O.B., Ms Jackson, Gangsta Shit, The Whole World, Shutterbug, Gansta Muzik, The Way You Move, Southernplaya..., Elevators, Player's Ball, Shine Blockas...just on and on). My only beef was that you do get the watered down version since it is just Big Boi with no Dre. And it was really awkward during The Way You Move, they had brought on girls to dance (I think they were locally hired). Some were too you, some too old, all not very attractive or good at dancing. It was the one time during the show that you could tell it was a bit weird. Big Boi was going to show up at the merchandise section after the concert, but it was already 12:00 and we had to work the next day...plus the line forming, my girlfriend had to pee, and 15 minutes was their guesstimate, who knew how long it would take...so that was a no go. But man, Big Boi is small in person...didn't see him afterwards as I said, but on the stage dude didn't look that big. Everyone was taller than him, including the female singer.
I'm giving in. For various reasons. Tomorrow, I am smoking my first weed pipe. ^^ I was re-reading this thread last night. Forgot how good it was. Legendary HHB stuff.

42623 SERVICE DATE – AUGUST 31, 2012 DO FR-4915-01-P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Surface Transportation Board [Docket No. FD 34554 (Sub-No. 16)] Union Pacific Railroad Company–Temporary Trackage Rights Exemption–BNSF Railway Company Pursuant to a modified written temporary trackage rights agreement dated August 10, 2012, BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) has agreed to extend the December 18, 2011 expiration date of the local trackage rights granted to Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP)[1] over BNSF's line of railroad extending between BNSF mileposts 579.3 near Mill Creek, Okla., and 631.1 near Joe Junction, Tex., a distance of approximately 51 miles.[2] The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on or after September 15, 2012, the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the exemption is filed). The purpose of this transaction is to modify the temporary trackage rights exempted in Docket No. FD 34554 (Sub-No. 14) to further extend the expiration date to on or about December 31, 2012. The modified trackage rights will permit UP to continue to move loaded and empty ballast trains for use in its maintenance-of-way projects. As a condition to this exemption, any employee affected by the trackage rights will be protected by the conditions imposed in Norfolk & Western Railway—Trackage Rights—Burlington Northern, Inc., 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in Mendocino Coast Railway—Lease & Operate—California Western Railroad, 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980). This notice is filed under 49 C.F.R. § 1180.2(d)(7). If it contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. § 10502(d) may be filed at any time. The filing of a petition to revoke will not automatically stay the effectiveness of the exemption. Stay petitions must be filed by September 7, 2012 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective). An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 34554 (Sub-No. 16), must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be served on Elisa B. Davies, General Attorney, Union Pacific Railroad Company, 1400 Douglas Street, Mail Stop 1580, Omaha, NE 68179. Board decisions and notices are available on our website at "WWW.STB.DOT.GOV." Decided: August 27, 2012. By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of Proceedings. [1] UP submits that the trackage rights being granted here are only temporary rights but, because they are "local" rather than "overhead" rights, they do not qualify for the Board's class exemption for temporary trackage rights at 49 C.F.R. § 1180.2(d)(8). See R.R. Consolidation Procedures, 6 S.T.B. 910 (2003). Therefore, UP concurrently has filed a petition for partial revocation of this exemption in Union Pacific Railroad Company–Temporary Trackage Rights Exemption–BNSF Railway Company, Docket No. FD 34554 (Sub-No. 17), wherein UP requests that the Board permit the proposed local trackage rights arrangement described in the present proceeding to expire on or about December 31, 2012, as provided in the parties' agreement. That petition will be addressed by the Board in a separate decision. [2] The trackage rights were originally granted in Union Pacific Railroad Company–Temporary Trackage Rights Exemption–The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company, FD 34554 (STB served Oct. 7, 2004). Subsequently, the parties filed notices of exemption several times based on their agreements to extend expiration dates of the same trackage rights. See FD 34554 (Sub-No. 2) (STB served Feb. 11, 2005); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 4) (STB served Mar. 3, 2006); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 6) (STB served Jan. 12, 2007); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 8) (STB served Jan. 4, 2008); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 10) (STB served Jan. 8, 2009); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 12) (STB served Dec. 31, 2009); and FD 34554 (Sub-No. 14) (STB served Feb. 11, 2011). Because the original and subsequent trackage rights notices were filed under the class exemption at 49 C.F.R. § 1180.2(d)(7), under which trackage rights normally remain effective indefinitely, in each instance the Board granted partial revocation of the class exemption to permit the authorized trackage rights to expire. See FD 34554 (Sub-No. 1) (STB served Nov. 24, 2004); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 3) (STB served Mar. 25, 2005); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 5) (STB served Mar. 23, 2006); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 7) (STB served Mar. 13, 2007); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 9) (STB served Mar. 20, 2008); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 11) (STB served Mar. 11, 2009); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 13) (STB served Mar. 15, 2010); and FD 34554 (Sub-No. 15) (STB served Apr. 15, 2011). At the time of the extension authorized in Docket No. FD 34554 (Sub-No. 14), the parties anticipated that the authority to allow the rights to expire would be exercised by December 18, 2011. However, the parties filed on August 16, 2012, in Docket No. FD 34554 (Sub-No. 16) their most recent notice of exemption to allow the trackage rights to be extended to on or about December 31, 2012, which we are addressing here. |

A police investigation into the death of Concordia University student Jun Lin led investigators to a Montreal park where an object believed to be human remains was found on Sunday, authorities said.
The suspicious object was discovered following a tip relayed to Montreal police in connection with Lin's death. However, police are giving few details about how they received the tip or who is behind it.
"(Police) have made no secret about the fact that finding the remains of Jun Lin was a very big priority for them," CTV's Montreal Bureau Chief Genevieve Beauchemin told CTV News Channel on Monday.
"They don't want to make any mistake here because it's such an important aspect. Out of respect for the family and out of respect for the criminal trial that is going to be starting in March, they want to be very careful about what they divulge here."
Police said the object was found in Angrignon Park in the city's south end. The park is about a 15 minute drive from the alleged crime scene.
Beauchemin said earlier Monday that there would have been many families in the park on a Sunday afternoon.
"When we talked to people who were in the park today they were just shocked about the fact that there could have been a grisly discovery there," Beauchemin said.
The object has been sent to a lab for DNA testing, and police say the results could come back within about a week.
"We have to determine if it's human, then we'll be able to determine, if it's human, who these parts belong to," said Montreal police Const. Daniel Lacoursiere. "And it's possible that they belong to Mr. Lin."
Lin, a 33-year-old computer engineering student and Chinese national, was gruesomely murdered and dismembered in late May.
Lin's hands and feet were mailed to offices of the federal Conservative and Liberal parties and to Vancouver schools. His torso was found in a suitcase outside a Montreal apartment and some body parts, including his head, are still missing.
Beauchemin said Montreal police have made it a priority to locate Lin's head and allow his family to put him to rest.
According to Lin's former employer, Kankan Huang, it's customary in the Chinese culture to bury the whole body together.
Luka Rocco Magnotta, a 29-year-old porn actor and model, faces charges in connection to Lin's murder.
Magnotta appeared in Montreal court late last month where he pleaded not guilty to the multiple charges against him.

Last week, Doris Raymond of The Way We Wore in Los Angeles wore this stunning gown and feather trimmed stole by Sophie of Saks to the premiere of her new reality show, "L.A. Frock Stars" on The Smithsonian Channel.
This morning, I was perusing the March 1, 1966 issue of Vogue magazine and look what I found! Doris, here's your dress! The caption says, "Feather print on a long halter dress of silk twill; a stole edged in marabou. All clean black and white. From the ready-to-wear collection by Sophie, at Saks Fifth Avenue. (Dear Vogue, that's ostrich, not marabou. But I forgive you.) House of Berland earrings.
I love it when this happens! Don't forget to watch episode 2 of "L.A. Frock Stars - The Awards Season" tonight!

- Abstract:
- In the digital age, the news media gives voice to anonymous speakers in two ways: reporters may extend confidentiality to sources in exchange for newsworthy information, or a news website may host an online comment function that allows readers to post their reactions to content pseudonymously. Of these two groups of anonymous speakers, only online posters enjoy certain First Amendment protection against a subpoena seeking disclosure of their identities. The reporter's privilege has always been legally defined as the professional privilege of a reporter to maintain the confidentiality of his sources. Yet as with all evidentiary privileges, the reporter's privilege serves both private and public ends. Historically, state statutes and state common law have protected the private arrangement that enables sources to disclose information without fear of reprisal, and journalists to gain newsworthy content, because this relationship furthers the free flow of information to the public. By contrast, protection for anonymous speakers has always been rooted in the First Amendment under a concern that forced identification may chill speech.

You'll usually first feel back pain just after you lift a heavy object, move suddenly, sit in one position for a long time, or have an injury or accident.

This will help relieve your symptoms and reduce any swelling in the area of the pain. Apply heat or ice to the painful area. One good method is to use ice for the first 48 to 72 hours, and then use heat. Take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB) or acetaminophen (Tylenol). While sleeping, try lying in a curled-up, fetal position with a pillow between your legs. If you usually sleep on your back, place a pillow or rolled towel under your knees to relieve pressure.A common misbelief about back pain is that you need to rest and avoid activity for a long time. In fact, bed rest is not recommended. If you have no sign of a serious cause for your back pain (such as loss of bowel or bladder control, weakness, weight loss, or fever), then you should stay as active as possible.You may want to reduce your activity only for the first couple of days. Then, slowly start your usual activities after that. Do not perform activities that involve heavy lifting or twisting of your back for the first 6 weeks after the pain begins. After 2 to 3 weeks, you should gradually start exercising again.Begin with light aerobic training. Walking, riding a stationary bicycle, and swimming are great examples. These aerobic activities can improve blood flow to your back and promote healing. They also strengthen muscles in your stomach and back. Stretching and strengthening exercises are important. However, starting these exercises too soon after an injury can make your pain worse. A physical therapist can help you know when to begin stretching and strengthening exercises and how to do them. You may benefit from physical therapy. Your provider will determine whether you need to see a physical therapist and can refer you to one in your area. The physical therapist will first use methods to reduce your pain. Then, the therapist will teach you ways to prevent getting back pain again. If your pain lasts longer than one month, your primary health care provider may send you to see either an orthopedist (bone specialist) or neurologist (nerve specialist).If your pain has not improved after use of medicines, physical therapy, and other treatments, your doctor may recommend an epidural injection.Epidural injectionAn epidural steroid injection (ESI) is the delivery of powerful anti-inflammatory medicine directly into the space outside of the sac of fluid around...Read Article Now Book Mark Article You may also see: A massage therapist Someone who performs acupuncture Someone who does spinal manipulation (a chiropractor, osteopathic doctor, or physical therapist) Sometimes a few visits to these specialists will help back pain. Outlook (Prognosis) Many people feel better within 1 week. After another 4 to 6 weeks, the back pain should be completely gone. When to Contact a Medical Professional Call your health care provider right away if you have:Back pain after a severe blow or fall Burning with urination or blood in your urine History of cancer Loss of control over urine or stool (incontinence) Pain traveling down your legs below the knee Pain that is worse when you lie down or that wakes you up at night Redness or swelling on the back or spine Severe pain that does not allow you to get comfortable Unexplained fever with back pain Weakness or numbness in your buttocks, thigh, leg, or pelvis Also call if:You have been losing weight unintentionally You use steroids or intravenous drugs You have had back pain before, but this episode is different and feels worse This episode of back pain has lasted longer than 4 weeks Prevention There are many things you can do to lower your chances of getting back pain. Exercise is important for preventing back pain. Through exercise you can:Improve your posture Strengthen your back and improve flexibility Lose weight Avoid falls It is also very important to learn to lift and bend properly. Follow these tips:If an object is too heavy or awkward, get help. Spread your feet apart to give you a wide base of support. Stand as close to the object you are lifting as possible. Bend at your knees, not at your waist. Tighten your stomach muscles as you lift the object or lower it down. Hold the object as close to your body as you can. Lift using your leg muscles. As you stand up with the object, do not bend forward. Do not twist while you are bending for the object, lifting it up, or carrying it. Other measures to prevent back pain include:Avoid standing for long periods. If you must stand for your work, alternate resting each foot on a stool. Do not wear high heels. Use cushioned soles when walking. When sitting for work, especially if using a computer, make sure that your chair has a straight back with an adjustable seat and back, armrests, and a swivel seat. Use a stool under your feet while sitting so that your knees are higher than your hips. Place a small pillow or rolled towel behind your lower back while sitting or driving for long periods. If you drive long distance, stop and walk around every hour. Bring your seat as far forward as possible to avoid bending. Do not lift heavy objects just after a ride. Quit smoking. Lose weight. Do exercises to strengthen your abdominal muscles on a regular basis. This will strengthen your core to decrease the risk of further injuries. Learn to relax. Try methods such as yoga, tai chi, or massage.Related Information DiskectomyForaminotomyLaminectomySpinal fusionSciatica Spine surgery - di...

Bella Vista shot the lights out behind Michelle Hernandez and Teryn Jackson for three quarters but cooled off in the fourth as Ponderosa took off. Martinenko buried two three-pointers in the fourth — both daggers against scrambling Bronco defenders — scoring half of her points in the final eight minutes.
"It's an exciting win, very back and fourth. We never lost hope and pulled it out at the end. We had real good ball movement that enabled me to hit those shots," said Martinenko whose 18 points was a season high.
Key to the win was the pin-point passing of Brooke Sinner who found the scorers particularly in the second half. Martinenko hit five threes overall to match Craft. Sophia George (11 rebounds) added eight points and battled underneath the boards with Craft (16 rebounds).
Ponderosa 70, Center 42
Ashley Beck scored 10 of her game-high 24 points in the fourth quarter as the Lady Bruins pulled away from the Cougars to open the tournament Thursday. Center had trimmed its deficit to nine late in the third before Morgan Martinenko drained a three to close the quarter and Ponderosa opened the fourth on a 9-0 run to outscore the Cougars 24-8 over the last eight minutes.
Martinenko added 11 points, Danielle Craft (11 rebounds) scored 10 and Brooke Sinner and Maddie Clayton (11 rebounds) each had eight points.

Nagoya Castle Explorers
Day 74 Nagoya
Today was one of the first days I have without any booked accommodation. The idea was that Mark and I could spend a few days out exploring some of the more remote rural areas of Japan. So after spending quite a few nights up deciding where to go and what we could do, it was finally time to explore!
Today I woke up refreshed and restored, I finished packing my bag (which due to all my purchases so far) I was unable to fit everything into my one bag like ...
... most important shrines. It enshrines the Sun Goddess Amaterasu and stores the sacred sword Kusanagi,which is one of the three imperial regalia. Note, however, that the sword is never displayed to the public. After that, transfer to Sakae Underground Street. One of the largest shopping street both above the ground and underground, satisfying needs for shopping and eating.
Day 7: Friday 21st November Transfer to Takayama. Another memorable ride on Japan's renowned 'bullet train' takes us from Kyoto to Takayama, a picturesque historic town set amid hills which are known as the "Japanese Alps". The afternoon is free to spend exploring the locality. Particularly recommended is Kamisannomachi ...
... YUM! I had 4 days which I spent chilling out and sightseeing, I saw the Nagoya castle which was my first taste of the Samurai, and visited the Science museum which basically consisted of all the physics from A-level and fun interactive experiments which I enjoyed. I also went prezzie shopping for Andrew (the son) and did sone wicked wrapping which isn't like me at all! It was a great catch up but I was ready to move on to new things so Takayama was next on the ...
... 5 times the pace of the old train! I then took the 2 hour bullet train to Nagoya from Tokyo. Unfortunately I was now about 1 hour 30 mins later than I'd planned but it could have been a lot worse! Although stressful at the time I always think these sort of situations are good when travelling as they test your ability to make on the spot decisions. I headed towards Nagoya castle, having negotiated the underground ...

Abiant obtained an exclusive license to imaging technology developed at New York University School of Medicine. The tool reportedly detects changes in particular brain regions, which are predictive of Alzheimer's disease onset. The collaborators say that it is also applicable in oncology and other disease areas.
The technology automatically picks up changes in glucose metabolism in the hippocampus, according to Abiant. Glucose metabolism is an early indicator of dementia, the company explains, allowing prediction up to eight years prior to the onset of symptoms, and is important in distinguishing between different types of dementias. Other automated techniques have reportedly failed to measure changes in this region because of the variability that occurs with age and disease.
The technology also allows accurate measurement of changes in structure, notes Abiant. This can be applied to neurodegenerative disorders as well as other applications such as tumor measurement. Other aspects relate to correction of cerebrospinal fluid marker measurements and processing of image data.
"We believe that these methods can significantly contribute to the diagnosis of dementia patients, allowing optimal treatment and monitoring," comments Mony de Leon, Ph.D., director of NYU School of Medicine's center for brain health. "Our relationship with Abiant provides the opportunity to commercialize these methods so that they may reach the broad patient population."
Do you think GMOs would be viewed more favorably if more attention was paid to the resulting product rather than the GMO technology used to produce it?

KU says juco lineman Ty McKinney will miss opener
KU coach Charlie Weis announced Friday that juco defensive lineman Ty McKinney will finally arrive on campus Sept. 7, the day before KU takes on Rice in its second game of the season.
Kansas has been waiting for McKinney for most of the month. Weis previously said that McKinney, a transfer from Trinity Valley Community College in Texas, needed to take one more final exam before he could complete his juco academic requirements. Despite the late arrival, McKinney will likely still be eligible to play this season.
"This still allows Ty to enroll this fall as a full-time student at KU," Weis said in a statement. "Our academic support staff is working to create a schedule so that as soon as Ty arrives he can catch up academically."
The timing of McKinney's arrival suggests that he would be unlikely to contribute during the Jayhawks' four games in September. KU, which opens again South Dakota State on Sept. 1, plays host to TCU on Sept. 15 before traveling to Northern Illinois on Sept. 22. The Jayhawks then have an off week before playing at Kansas State on Oct. 6.
"Once his academic situation is in order," Weis said, "he will get up to speed in football."
Weis also announced that junior linebacker Jon Shelby has left the team for personal reasons. Shelby is a junior college transfer from Nassau (N.Y.) Community College.
Weis, however, left the door open for a possible return.
"It is important at this time to protect Jon's privacy," Weis said. "We hope to have him back at KU sometime in the future."

We're quiet. But is it umm weird to have sex in the in laws house. When I was staying with my MIL and D came home on leave she burst us out before she went to bed. She said: "Ok Dick 'em down (what she calls D when she's teasing him) I know you haven't had any in a while but that doesn't mean I need to hear you get it in. Have fun but keep it down." I think I turned like ten shades of red.

Dykellic acid inhibits drug-induced caspase-3-like protease activation. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 12615068 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Dykellic acid is a novel microbial metabolite isolated from the broth of Westerdykella multispora F50733. Investigations on the molecular function of dykellic acid revealed that this compound partially inhibits calcium influx, resulting in a decrease in Ca(2+)-dependent endonuclease activation and DNA fragmentation induced by camptothecin. In our experiments, active caspase-3-like protease cleavage of procaspase-3, PARP, and cytosolic cytochrome c was inhibited by dykellic acid in a concentration-dependent manner when the apoptosis was induced by camptothecin as well as doxorubicin. We confirmed that dykellic acid did not bind to camptothecin using surface plasmon resonance analysis. These results suggest that dykellic acid inhibits drug-induced apoptosis via a caspase-3-like protease-suppressing mechanism. Our data provide important information on the mechanism of action of dykellic acid and indicate that this compound may be employed in the treatment of specific caspase-3-like protease-mediated diseases. |

LAS VEGAS - "If you don't like this f---ing song, blame Van Halen, dude," sneered Metal Skool guitarist Satchel, a rocker who flashes his tongue at the ladies while fondling his chest. The Los Angeles-based glam-metal lampoon act then prepared to launch into the Halen classic "Jump." But before the song's synth-laden opening began to chime, the band - a parody of every hair-metal band there ever was, wrapped up in one tight spandex package - invited old pal Lil Jon up to handle lead vocals. But Jon was nowhere to be found -- at first. "Dude, I can't find him," frontman Michael Starr said as he gazed out into the audience. "That's 'cause he's lil'!", Satchel shot back. The rapper, rocking an enormous gold chain around his neck and a diamond-encrusted bracelet around his right wrist, eventually emerged from the darkness to take control of the mic. In between lyrics like, "I get up, and nothing gets me down" and "You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around," Jon belted out his trademark "Whaaaat?!"s and scurried around the stage, pogoing furiously. The MC's constant movement was enough to send foam spurting out the neck of the beer that never left his hand. Metal Skool, one of the only bands on the planet that'll have you doubled over with laughter while still managing to throw the horns, performed in Las Vegas Thursday night at the Hard Rock Hotel's Body English club. The concert was one of several pre-MTV Video Music Awards events being held in Sin City and perhaps one of the strangest, teeming with odd collaborations. The gig attracted a bevy of scantily clad beauties and a strange assortment of rockers and celebrities, including Pauly Shore, the Bravery's Sam Endicott, System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan and mixed martial-arts fighter Tito Ortiz and his girlfriend, former porn star Jenna Jameson, who spent much of the night canoodling in one of the corners of the club's V.I.P. section. With their long teased hair, zebra-print spandex pants (complete with requisite bulge), ripped T-shirts and over-the-top makeup (bassist Lexxi Foxxx touched up his lip gloss between each and every song of the band's set, which included Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City" and Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart"), Metal Skool's takeoff on '80s Aqua Net metal is nothing short of perfect. They've even got the whole song-dedication thing down: Before honoring Journey with a brilliant version of "Don't Stop Believin'," Starr sent the track out to all of the well-endowed ladies in the crowd, without whom "there would be no reason to wear green spandex." At one point, Metal Skool even threatened to "play Hoobastank all night" if the crowd didn't respond vigorously enough to their performance. Jon guested on two songs: "Jump" and an impromptu jam session with Skool and System bassist Shavo Odadjian, who, when joining the band onstage, was himself joined by two women who pranced around him like strippers on acid. "Show us your [breasts]!" Jon shouted at one of them, encouraging the audience to chant along with him. When the woman refused, Jon let his frustration get the best of him. "Get your a-- offstage if you're not going to show us those [breasts] - this is a f---ing rock show!" The special guests didn't end there. During the Skool's cover of Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me," Incubus bassist Ben Kenney hopped onstage to sing, but he didn't know the song's lyrics - but then redeemed himself by strapping on Foxxx's bass for a rendition of Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer." "Make some noise for that guy from Incubus," Starr said. "He's famous ... whatever his name is." Catch all the star-packed VMA action direct from Las Vegas on Sunday. MTV News' preshow kicks things off live at 8 p.m. ET, followed by the big show at 9 p.m.
