MP calls for return of Tynedale Council
Last updated at 12:31, Thursday, 07 February 2013
HEXHAM'S MP Guy Opperman has called for the restoration of Tynedale District Council.
Speaking in the House of Commons on Tuesday, Mr Opperman said Northumberland County Council should be disbanded unless there were serious improvements in its performance.
The restoration of the Tynedale district authority would show a genuine commitment to localism, he said.
But the proposal has been dismissed as "nuts" by county council leader Jeff Reid, who accused Mr Opperman of being totally out of touch with economic reality.
Tynedale Council was abolished in 2009, and its powers were transferred to an all-powerful Northumberland County Council.

Have your say
Again, I'm another who never imagined I would agree with something a Tory said. NCC is grossly out of touch with the needs of Hexham and wider Tynedale - They have sold (or rather, are attempting to sell) the family silver (Hexham House etc..) and have no interest in arresting the continued decline of the town.
I agree with our MP, this area is totally disregarded by the County Council. Bring back Tynedale Council as soon as possible, run by people with local knowledge. Bring fairness back where parking charges are concerned. People are discouraged from visiting our lovely area and even local people are put off going into Hexham brecause of the parking problems.

Ben Emmerson, a British lawyer and the United Nations special rapporteur on counter-terrorism and human rights, released a statement after a three-day trip to Islamabad Khaama Press reported Friday. He said officials told him there has been no "tacit consent by Pakistan to the use of drones on its territory."
A U.N. human rights team has been gathering information on the strikes.
"Adult males carrying out ordinary daily tasks were frequently the victims of such strikes," it said.
The Obama administration, which has increased the use of drones in Pakistan's tribal areas, has denied reports of hundreds of civilian casualties. The New America Foundation, however, estimates drones have killed between 1,953 and 3,279 people in Pakistan since 2004 -- about one-fifth of them civilians.
The foundation said the strikes have become more accurate, with 90 percent of the casualties in 2012 being militants.

National team competitions
After 10 days of competition, Antoine Diot was elected MVP of the Termosteps U16 European Championship in Leon, Spain.
It was a bittersweet award for the 16-year old Diot, whose side suffered a 55-61 reverse at the hands of Turkey in the gold medal game.
Spain's basketball president Jose Luis Saez is over the moon with the success achieved by both the men and women's Under-16 national team`s in recent championships.
Nete Bohigas' young men beat Lithuania 70-63 on Sunday in the bronze medal game of the Under-16 Eurobasket in Leon to give Spain their ninth medal in the history of the tournament.
Playing in front of 2,300 spectators at the Municipal Pavilon in Leon, Spain, Turkey completed their second victory over France in the Termosteps U16 European Championship Men to claim the gold medal.
The final proved to be just as close as the first match-up between the two sides, in which Turkey overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to edge the contest, 67-66.

Where the World's Worst Weather Is Born: Photos From Mount Washington
For much of the 20th century, the summit of New Hampshire's 6,200-foot Mount Washington was the site of the highest wind speed ever measured at the Earth's surface—a 231 mph gust recorded in April 1934. (That record was surpassed in 1996 by a confirmed 253 mph gust on Barrow Island, Australia, during Tropical Cyclone Olivia.) That a peak just over a mile high in the relatively cozy confines of New England should be home to some of the planet's most erratic, violent and downright crappy weather strikes many people as astonishing.
For meteorologists, meanwhile — not to mention hikers and campers who have suffered its extreme mood swings — Mount Washington's weather is a source of constant, and occasionally terrifying, wonderment.
The unofficial motto of the Mount Washington Observatory weather station? "Home of the World's Worst Weather," and whether or not the claim is quantifiable, it's nevertheless unlikely that any other place on earth with comparably forbidding conditions is as readily accessible, or sees as many people each year, as the fabled peak.
In March 1953, LIFE magazine published a feature, with pictures by the intrepid Peter Stackpole, chronicling the work of a military and civilian team atop the "windiest spot in the U.S."—a team that, in winter, turned "the 6,288-foot mountain into a gigantic laboratory for defense department experiments into jet age techniques of warfare and survival. Standing at the focal point of a natural wind tunnel, Mt. Washington is continuously ripped by shrieking winds, [while] the 1934 blow of 231 mph makes the average 75-mile gale seem mild."
The brutal weather, meanwhile, "can cause a jet engine to ice up in 20 seconds" and "builds up rime ice so quickly the process can almost be seen by the naked eye."
Here, LIFE.com heads to the White Mountains, and the deceptively small peak with the huge reputation as a place where very, very bad weather is born.

Another step has been made in the construction of a new regional jail for the Clay County Sheriff's Department. The Clay County Board of Supervisors made its decision Thursday after tabling discussion on which contractor would be employed, in addition to amendments made in the contract, for consultation of the erection of a new, upward of, $21 million facility at last week's meeting.
The construction of a new facility stems from Sheriff Eddie Scott's recognition of the fact that the current jail has undergone about 50 years worth of dilapidation. Scott proposed to the board two possible routes for the project earlier this month: A new county-specific jail or a new regional jail (which would entail a cooperative effort between Clay County and a second county).
Although this is great news for the CCSD, there are still crucial steps that need to be taken. In order to garner funding for the project, the board was required to choose, out of two contractors, the most feasible and cost-effective route prior to blasting it off to state legislature.

Eco-tropical Brazilian home – Bahia House
Created by Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan, the home was completed this year in Salvador, Brazil, where the exterior walls consist of sliding latticed wooden panels. The project, called Bahia House, was designed specifically for a hot climate and uses traditional Brazilian building techniques and materials, including clay for the roof and wood for the ceiling. The building is organized around a central patio to maximize natural ventilation and keep the interior cool in hot weather. According to the architect, "The Bahia House is an ecological house. But, not in the technological sense, not in the contemporary sense of the word 'sustainability', it does not have the very latest state-of-the-art gadgets that make it possible to optimize electric expenditure." The openings have large panels of wooden Mashrabiyas that provides vast comfort to the interior. The traditional Bahian house uses the northeastern wind blowing in from the sea to help determine the site plan and has cross ventilation in in the main living spaces of the home to help keep the interior airy and cool.

BugBand Insect Repellent Wristbands are a good choice for recreational and lighter-duty applications. Comes in a variety of colors including olive green, bright green, blue, yellow, red, pink, and glow-in-the-dark.
Geraniol, the active ingredient in BugBand insect repelling products, is a natural essential oil derived from geraniums. When Geraniol is exclusively formulated with other minimum risk or food-grade ingredients, the resulting insect repellent products are not regulated pesticides when they meet federally established criteria. It is a biodegradable ingredient that is safe to use and safe for the environment. There is no known toxicity to animals or wildlife.
Geraniol has a relatively high vapor pressure and gives off a dilute vapor into the air stream which acts as an area repellent. This helps repel insects before they land. The natural tendency of Geraniol to evaporate makes it work as the active ingredient in wristbands, plastic beads, and other BugBand repellent products. It also helps to improve the efficacy of liquid spray Geraniol BugBand repellents.
Active Ingredients(20%): Geraniol
Inert Ingredients(80%): Polyethylene
Directions: Remove from plastic case carefully. Remove band from resealable container. Loop band on wrist, ankle or belt. Place tip with arrow through hole. Pull to your wrist size then place arrow to desired opening on band. When not in use, place band into reusable plastic case to prolong its life. Can be placed on table, bedpost or any other object indoors. Can be used on strollers, walkers. Dispose of product with recyclable plastic.
Warnings: May cause skin irritation in rare cases. If irritation occurs, wash with mild soap and water. If irritation continues, contact a physician. Irritation occurs, wear in belt loop or exterior clothing. Do not wear in sleeping bag or bed.
About BugBand
BugBand is the next generation of protection. BugBand products are a proven, effective alternative to synthetic traditional pesticides, protecting children and adults from biting insects while avoiding the risks associated with irritating chemicals. BugBand is not only a safer choice, it's more effective. Geraniol, the plant-based active ingredient in BugBand, is a proven repellent.
The BugBand products are safe to use on people or with equipment and do not have the flammability issue. In fact, products like the wristband don't even need to be worn with direct skin contact. Many users put them on belt loops, baby strollers, shoelaces or hat bands and find them to be highly effective when used in this manner.

Groundbreaking writer, lecturer, editor and activist, Gloria Steinem has been looked to as the popular face of the women's movement for over four decades. She was a buzzed-about journalist in the late-60s, when her political conscience compelled her to the growing feminist movement and made her one of its most visible and effective leaders. She co-founded Ms. magazine in 1972, and has spent decades crisscrossing the United States and the world as a speaker and organizer. She has been a controversial, good-humored, and inescapable public conscience on issues of equality and social justice. She has expanded the women's movement to celebrate non-violent conflict resolution, the cultures of indigenous peoples, and organization across socioeconomic boundaries. Steinem probes and lays bare the workings of gender roles, of sex and race caste systems, and of child abuse as roots of violence. She is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Smith College and an Inductee of the National Women's Hall of Fame. Gloria Steinem is a 2005 Founder of the Women's Media Center. She lives in New York City, and is at work on Road to the Heart: America As if Everyone Mattered, traces her journeys on behalf of women—and of people—everywhere.

Microsoft SharePoint is a web application platform developed by Microsoft. First launched in 2001, SharePoint is typically associated with web content management and document management systems, but it is actually a much broader platform of web technologies, capable of being configured to suit a wide range of solution areas. SharePoint is designed as a central application platform for common enterprise web requirements. SharePoint's multi-purpose design allows for management, scaling, and provisioning of a broad variety of business applications. It provides a layer of management and abstraction from the web server, with the ultimate goal of enabling business users to leverage web features without having to understand technical aspects of web development. SharePoint also contains pre-defined 'applications' for commonly requested functionality, such as intranet portals, extranets, websites, document & file management, collaboration spaces, social tools, enterprise search and business intelligence. Other common use-cases for SharePoint include process integration, system integration, workflow automation, and providing core infrastructure for third-party solutions (such as ERP, CRM, BI, and social enterprise packages).

Richmond Fed Magazine Econ Focus Reports on Economic Research About the College Decision
College is becoming scarier, financially speaking: The cost of college has been growing more than twice as fast as inflation. Delinquency rates on student loans have jumped, a sign of struggle for some grads. But at the same time, the extra earnings that come with a college degree have been growing too. Should more students – or fewer — be signing on the dotted line for college? The cover story in the latest issue of Econ Focus looks at these and other questions about investing in higher education.

Richmond Fed's Economic Quarterly Explores Developments in the Labor Market
Unemployment and labor force participation (LFP) are usually negatively correlated over the business cycle -- that is, once the unemployment rate starts to decline the LFP rate starts to increase after about half a year. In the latest issue of Economic Quarterly, Richmond Fed senior advisor Andreas Hornstein shows that this cyclical co-movement pattern between the unemployment rate and the LFP rate can be attributed to two factors.

What policies would ameliorate economic inequality and increase economic mobility? The first in this series of three commentaries discussed the difficulty of measuring economic inequality over time. The second commentary discussed economic mobility. This commentary examines the causes of economic inequality and lack of economic mobility and evaluates the effectiveness of various policy options to reduce economic inequality.
First, individual behavior-especially decisions about completing high school and pursuing a college education or other specialized training, marriage and parenting children greatly affects economic mobility and well being.
Second,the information technology revolution over the last several decades has changed the demand for, and consequently the real wages paid to, different types of workers. This phenomenon, known as skill?biased technological change, has
increased the education premium workers receive for a college education and for graduate or professional degrees. Thus, education achievement is more
important today than it was in the past to economic mobility and well?being.
Third, the interaction between taxes and the phase?outs of social welfare benefits as household income increases frequently imposes an excessively high effective marginal tax on earning additional income. This phenomenon, known as the poverty trap, disourages individuals in low income households from entering the labor force, working
extra hours, or seeking career advancement that would contribute to their economic mobility and well?being.

January 6, 2014
An Indiana man is in the Tri-County Regional Jail on a $1 million bond following his arrest with four guns and nearly 50 bombs.
Andrew Scott Boguslawski, 43, of Morris Hill, Ind., is being held, charged with one count of illegal manufacture or processing explosives, a felony of the second degree. He is set for a preliminary hearing Friday, Jan 10.
"I think there is a significant risk to the public," said Assistant Madison County Prosecutor Nick Adkins, explaining the million dollar bond. "Until we can sort through the facts of this case and what we have here and what his intent was, it is necessary to keep the public safe."
Boguslawski was stopped by troopers about 11:41 p.m., Jan. 1, on I-70 in Madison County. According to court documents he was stopped by Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper William Davis allegedly driving 85 miles per hour in a 70 mile per hour zone.
"He asked the driver if there was any weapons in the vehicle," said Adkins.
The prosecutor said the trooper was prompted to ask about weapons because of several bumper stickers on Boguslawski's car —specifically a sticker warning "If you can read this, you're in range."
Boguslawski told the trooper there were no guns in the vehicle. Davis went to write the man a ticket and when he returned to the car, he noticed the handle of a gun between the man's knees.
"At that point, he drew his service weapon, held the man there and called for backup," said Adkins.
When help arrived, Boguslawski was taken from the vehicle, which was searched. Investigators found four guns — two pistols and two rifles — as well as 48 explosive devices and tools and materials to make additional explosives.
"Most concerning to me was that they found a remote detonating device," said Adkins.
He added, "The majority of the devices, I would not classify as high tech, but some of the devices were set up to be activated with the remote detonator."
Investigators are now trying to determine what Boguslawski had planned.
He did not make any type of statement," said Adkins. "He did not want to make any statement."
Boguslawski works in Indiana at a training facility for Navy Seals, Adkins said. The prosecutor said Boguslawski had schematics and other plans for buildings that are part of that training facility. Adkins said the man was driving west toward Indiana at the time of the arrest.
Investigators removed a laptop, a GPS system and a camera.
"We are hopeful they will reveal some indication what his intent was," said Adkins.
Investigators are working through a search warrant for those items. Law enforcement officials have executed a search warrant for the man's Indiana home.
"We are reviewing the information as it comes in and considering how we are going to proceed," said Adkins. "We have several options."
The assistant prosecutor said the Ohio Fire Marshall, The Ohio State Highway Patrol, the federal division of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms as well as the U.S. Department of Justice, have participated in the investigation.
"There is discussion whether Madison County will handle this or whether it will be handled at the federal level," said Adkins. "Really, that decision comes down to what we find when we process the GPS, camera and laptop."
He said investigators are "looking for a link to any known terrorist operations and to identify the intended target."
Adkins said the man does not have "any real criminal history."

Just down the street from Frank Sinatra Drive and the flashy Las Vegas Strip sits an unremarkable building in an industrial part of town. The contents of that building are quite remarkable.
The building not only houses the workshop and offices of the world's most celebrated magician, but also a two-story private museum devoted exclusively to the art of magic and the magic of movies.
David Copperfield says he has always loved movies as much as he loves magic, and his museum includes props and artifacts from many classic films, including "Citizen Kane."
Despite a hectic schedule divided between his nightly show at the MGM Grand and touring the world, the 56-year-old illusionist lends his expertise whenever Hollywood calls. Well, Hollywood called for the new Steve Carell comedy "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," which opens Friday.
Carell and Steve Buscemi play childhood friends who translate an early love of magic into a lucrative career as Las Vegas headliners. But after 10 years in the big showroom, their act is getting stale, and they face a serious threat from a new, dangerous breed of magician in the form of Jim Carrey.
Copperfield not only has a cameo but served as technical advisor and created an elaborate illusion for Carell and Buscemi to perform in the film. The actors, who performed the illusion without special effects, stunt doubles or camera tricks, said they had to sign confidentiality papers and are sworn never to reveal the secrets of "The Hangman."
The museum, which is closed to the public, contains more than 80,000 pieces of magic memorabilia, with an entire room dedicated to the legendary Harry Houdini - including the magician's famed "water torture cell" and an audio recording of Houdini's voice. During a personal tour of the museum, Copperfield sat for an interview with the Orange County Register in a room honoring the magician who inspired Houdini – the 19th century French illusionist Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin.
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER: Like you, I was born and raised in New Jersey. Like you, my grandparents are from the Ukraine. And like you, I had a childhood interest in magic. So how come I'm not living with a French supermodel?
DAVID COPPERFIELD (laughs): She (Chloe Gosselin, Copperfield's girlfriend and mother of his young daughter) will be very happy to hear that you called her a supermodel.
Q. I'm not kidding. I want to know why you, at the age of 12, were the youngest member ever admitted to the Society of American Magicians, and I wasn't?
A. It came very easy for me.
Q. But what sparked your interest in magic?
A. I guess I was a bit of a loner. I was looking for something to excite me. I tried ventriloquism, but I was a crappy ventriloquist. Then I started doing magic, and I found the spark. I invented magic easily. I would read a book on magic from the library, but I wouldn't read how the tricks were done. I would try to figure out how to do the effects on my own, even as an 8-year-old. And sometimes, my methods were better than the ones in the book.
Q. What inspired you to do large theatrical stage illusions and not just stick with close-up magic?
A. I saw a Bob Fosse show on Broadway called "Pippin." At one point in the show, a red silk handkerchief sits on the stage. When Ben Vereen pulled on it, the entire set came out of that silk handkerchief. I thought: "Whoa, maybe there is a way to make magic theatrical."

A playlist that shifts from Led Zeppelin to Dwight Yoakam influenced Scott Barnett Hirshman to pack up belongings and his dog Chet.
Hirshman and his "cheagle" — a Chihuahua and beagle mix — made the 2,000 mile trip from Tucson, Ariz., to Gaston County to become the new production director at Gaston College's WSGE 91.7 FM radio station.
Hirshman, who goes by Scott Barnett on air, started at the station Nov. 19. His first day on air was Dec. 3. Hirshman does the afternoon blend from 3 to 6 p.m.
Hirshman grew up in the Chicago suburb of Skokie, Ill., with a passion for music, listening to the likes of radio deejay Casey Kasem on the weekends. Hirshman decided radio would be a way for him to be around music.
He discovered the opening at WSGE after being laid off from a radio hosting job at a Tucson station because of budget cuts. He found the job listing on a site that advertises radio jobs and listened in.
"And when I tuned into the radio station online, I was just floored by the music they played," Hirshman said.
He heard songs from classic rock artists, indie rock and interesting new artists, a change of pace from the commercial stations.
"It's just very cookie cutter now," Hirshman said. "And this sounded like the kind of music for people that are passionate about music put on by people who are passionate about music. And so I said, 'I want to go there.'"
Not in the job description
Hirshman knows how to keep dead air off the radio. He once pushed buttons behind his back to queue up commercials and start playing songs when a man burst into the Springfield, Ill., radio station studio where he was working in 1998.
The man pushed past the manager to get into the building, then went to the studio to find Hirshman.
"He got me in the corner and he was holding an ax," Hirshman said.
The man grabbed the front of Hirshman's shirt, letting go of the ax with one hand. Hirshman was able to push past the man and get past him before police burst in and tackled the intruder. The man stopped taking his medication and was convinced that Hirshman had planted listening devices at his home.
"And he came with the ax to even the score," Hirshman said. "That was the craziest thing that ever happened to me."
Looking ahead
Hirshman hasn't dealt with anything that wild again, and he doesn't foresee anything like that happening here since WSGE's recent remodel also included some safety measures like door locks.
Hirshman's focus at WSGE is to get the word out about the radio station.
"It's just a cool, different station than everything else that is out there," Hirshman said.

Scouting Report-Hernandez is a fascinating prospect. On one hand you have a guy who's undersized, looking more WR/H-Back than an NFL tight end, so you figure him to be a nice receiving option, especially for a team that's creative. But on the other hand, you have a guy who isn't much of a blocker and hasn't shown he can run more than a couple of routes with any consistency. The real positives of his game are his ability to find ways to get open,superb hands with excellent skills after the catch and good ball security. When you catch passes thrown by Tim Tebow you better be able to adjust to poorly thrown passes and be able to use body control to make the play. Hernandez has shown he can do both. He looks very smooth and much faster than he times in the open field, striding almost like a small forward on the field. He's got long arms and is a good leaper and is much faster than you see in shorts.
Draft Status-With more and more teams wanting to spread the field and throw it around, a player like Hernandez is definitely in fashion. Where he suffers in this draft is, guys like Rob Gronkowski and Jermaine Gresham can do all he can do in the passing game and more, while at the same time being huge targets and can in-line block. Still, Hernandez is almost certainly a day one pick on potential alone and should find a buyer near the end of the second round.
Final Analysis-We all have the image of Hernandez catching those inside screen passes from Tebow and him just booking it up the middle of the field. An impressive player no doubt, but your signature play needs to translate better to the NFL. I do think that his fluid athleticism and soft hands will serve him well in the NFL. He's not going to be able to line up tight and run block for a team. But he's a big target and has shown to be an exceptional wide out, and he'll be in demand on that alone. We've seen plenty of teams who can take H-Back guys like this and integrate them into the offense. He's going to have to put in the work in the film room and on the practice field learning to run more routes, and he's going to have to hit the weight room and get stronger not only to help run block but also to work against big strong NFL linebackers. If he can do those things, where I see him doing the most damage is in the red zone where he can find his spots and get open and make the tough catch.
Reminds me of: Dustin Keller, TE New York Jets-Both a little undersized, and both exceptional receiving targets. Both guys are also underwhelming as run blockers.

Playing down 'senior' in 'senior center' for boomers
Jacob McGee / East County Senior Center
Bill Brockhaus gets a sample from Bonnie Roulstone, owner of Clearview Spirits & Wines, as Bonnie's husband, Doug Roulstone, looks on during Tuesday night's "Boomerang" program at the East County Senior Center in Monroe. The event featured a cooking demonstration and Irish beer tasting.
Jacob McGee / East County Senior Center
Adam Hoffman, chef and owner of Adam's Northwest Bistro & Brewery, demonstrates how to prepare smoked salmon during Tuesday night's "Boomerang" program at the East County Senior Center in Monroe. Along with the cooking demonstration, the event featured an Irish beer tasting.
Senior centers have a new mission. They want to attract people raised on The Beatles, Bob Dylan and that counterculture mantra "Don't trust anyone over 30." To succeed, they'll need to offer more than hot lunches and card games. The East County Senior Center in Monroe is answering the call with a new program called "Boomerang."
With "Try It Out Tuesdays," the center's evening offerings include beer sampling, sushi making, life story writing and sessions on massage, travel and digital photography.
"Our idea was to get the younger set, pre-retirement and people coming up to retirement," said Cindy Brockhaus, 51, a member of the Monroe center's board of directors.
She and her husband, Bill Brockhaus, were at the center Tuesday night for a Boomerang program that featured a demonstration on smoking salmon by Adam Hoffman, chef at Adam's Northwest Bistro & Brewery, and a tasting of Irish beers from Clearview Spirits & Wines.
"Centers are trying to figure out what baby boomers will want, but we still need to address the needs of older people," Brockhaus said. She added that many boomers are still working.
In 2011, the first of America's baby boom generation -- born between 1946 and 1964 -- reached 65, the typical retirement age. For the next 16 years, according to AARP, boomers will turn 65 at a rate of about 8,000 each day.
Senior centers are looking for new ways to lure all those boomers yet still serve the elderly, said Marc Avni, executive director of the East County Senior Center. Traditional offerings at the nonprofit center include lunches every weekday, exercise classes, games, craft projects and outings, he said.
The Monroe center sees about 1,500 people per year, and has 800 paid memberships. Regular members pay $30 annually and extra for classes. Avni and Jacob McGee, the center's 35-year-old program coordinator, created Boomerang as an answer to the huge demographic tide that's coming.
"Nobody wants to be identified with being old," said Avni, 63, whose email tagline is a Grateful Dead lyric, "Sometimes the light's all shining on me, other times I can barely see."
"We're looking toward the future," Avni said. With McGee and several board members, he created the Boomerang series, with the categories "Taste, Teach, Think, Touch." Sessions on food and wine, travel and finance, writing and massage are meant to appeal to a generation interested in new experiences.
In 2008, when the first of the country's estimated 78 million boomers began receiving Social Security retirement benefits, a USA Today article reported that some facilities were taking "senior" out of their names, calling themselves "community centers."
Mary-Anne Grafton is recreation supervisor at the Lynnwood Senior Center, part of the city's Parks and Recreation department. With people in their early 60s, Grafton quipped, "we can't call them seniors unless there's a discount."
"I used to think of 50 as the end of the road," said Grafton, 45. "If we see someone in their 70s today, they're still young."
The Lynnwood Senior Center offers many outdoor recreation options. "What we've been doing the last five years is very deliberately diversifying our outdoor recreation," Grafton said. Three levels of hikes are available, very easy to challenging.
Designing one program to suit all senior center visitors isn't realistic, Grafton said. "We provide programs and services for people 62 to 102," she said. That's a 40-year difference. "No one would dream of programming the same thing for 5-year-olds and people almost 50," Grafton said.
Cheryl Yates, 62, was one of about 20 people at Tuesday's Boomerang event in Monroe, where chair massage was offered along with food and beverage samples.
Yates is a regular at the East County center. "I've been coming about two years for exercise classes. And my husband and I social dance here," she said. She started using the center after retirement a few years back. "I have met so many people here," Yates said.
Are we baby boomers really much different from previous generations?
"There's the myth and marketing of old age, if you do x, y and z, you'll be healthy and young forever," Grafton said. "You'll be healthier, but age happens."
Programming isn't easy when one group needs fall-prevention classes and likes playing bridge, and a younger group wants to try a zip-line.
"Boomers don't play bridge," Grafton said.

Boomers to seniors
The East County Senior Center is serving baby boomers with its "Boomerang" program that includes Try it Out Tuesdays. The 6:30 p.m. Tuesday sessions are $3, or free with a Boomerang membership, $70 per year or $30 for four months of sessions. Upcoming topics are: Life Transitions, March 12; Road Scholar travel speaker, March 19; Massage, March 26; Sake Tasting and Sushi Making, April 2; Legacy Writing, April 9.
Good Health Day: Puget Sound Blood Center will hold a blood drive and the Lions Club will offer free vision, hearing, glaucoma, diabetes and blood pressure screenings 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday at the East County Senior Center, 276 Sky River Parkway, Monroe. 360-794-6359 or www.eastcountyseniorcenter.org

Comments about Camelbak Quick Link Conversion Kit:
I recently purchased a Camelbak Rogue and assumed the Quick Link was a standard feature, as it is on the MULE. It was not, and the Quick Link on the MULE had already spoiled me. It makes everything easier: cleaning the reservoir, filling it, and putting it into the pack. And installation of the Quick Link is simple and takes only a couple minutes. I suggest a little product research to find out if the Camelbak you plan to purchase has this Quick Link. If it does not, I highly recommend adding this handy little item to your order!

- Minorities are less likely to participate in the TSP. That finding from OPM. The report looked at federal employee participation rates during 2007, and found about 83 percent of minorities were enrolled in the TSP. That's compared to almost 88 percent for non-minorities. OPM also found that women were a bit less likely enroll than men. OPM says it will work with unions and agencies to boost awareness about the TSP.
- Is $18,000 for a course at Harvard too much? An influential lawmaker thinks so, and says the government might be spending more than it should, on education for members of the Senior Executive Service. Senator Charles Grassley, Republican of Iowa, has asked OPM director John Berry for more data on total costs of senior career training and education, GovExec reports. In a letter to Berry, Grassley says he is alarmed by what he calls excessive prices, citing a four-week Federal Executive Institute session at Harvard's Kennedy School.
- The House could vote today on whether to allow gays to serve openly in the military. The proposal by Pennsylvania Democrat Congressman Patrick Murphy would repeal the 1993 "dont ask don't tell" law. It's a compromise bill that would give the Pentagon as much time as it wants before lifting the ban. The Senate Armed Services Committee is set to work on an identical measure later today.
- A $726-billion dollar defense spending bill for next year will have little impact on the total federal deficit. That's according to the latest Congressional Budget Office score, which pegs total outlays from the 2011 Defense Authorization Act at $749 billion dollars between 2010 and 2015. CBO says the measure would raise costs by an average of $4.5 billion dollars per year during that period. But on balance over the next 10 years, direct spending from the bill would have a small impact on the deficit.
- The Small Business Administration is out of money for certain types of loans. The Washington Business Journal reports that the economic stimulus bill increased the government guarantee on the SBA's flagship 7(a) loans, and reduced fees on 7(a) and 504 loans. Those are the loans that are usually used for real estate. But the funds are now gone, and the SBA has reactivated its waiting list for borrowers. Now SBA is waiting to see if Congress will provide funds for another extension. If they do, SBA would have enough money to provide the loans through the end of this year. However, it isn't clear that Congress will take action before the weeklong Memorial Day break.
- The Federal Aviation Administration has awarded contracts worth $4.4 billion to three companies to help rebuild the nation's air traffic control system. Boeing, General Dynamics and ITT will participate in a project called System Engineering 2020, according to NextGov. Speaking at an FAA technical meeting, administrator Randy Babbitt called SE-2020 the foundation for the agency's eventual move to geographic positioning, instead of ground radars, for controlling aircraft.
- A huge computer in Texas is mapping the oil spill in the Gulf. The National Science Foundation has made an emergency allocation of a million compute-hours on a supercomputer at the University of Texas to create 3-D models of the spill. Network World reports that the models created by the Texas Advanced Computing Center can forecast how the oil will spread, and where it might interact with marshes, vegetation, and currents. It also will try to predict what might happen if a hurricane carries the oil inland.
- Google is putting the finishing touches on its cloud computing services, just for federal agencies. The process is taking longer than most people thought. But Google Enterprise President Dave Girouard tells InformationWeek that they're already meeting with potential customers. More than 100 federal agencies are already customers of Google's other products, including Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Enterprise Search. Google is one of the launch vendors for FedRAMP. That's a process that will allow vendors to certify their services for government use one time, and then do business with agencies.
- The Navy is getting help on its integrated electronic security systems. A $9.5 million dollar contract went to Mandex of Fairfax, Virginia. Systems Applications and Solutions of Charleston, SC, landed another $9.5 million dollar deal. The Washington Business Journal reports that both companies were initially awarded a little more than $12,000 dollars. They can compete against each other for task orders to upgrade existing systems, building new security or surveillance systems, and automated fuel systems. Each deal is for one year with four additional one-year options, for a total combined potential value of $47.7 million over the next five years.

Were you looking instead for tests performed on sputum to detect fungi [see Fungal Tests] or mycobacteria (tuberculosis) [see AFB Smear and Culture]?
At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To detect and identify the cause of bacterial pneumonia or some other lower respiratory tract infections; to monitor the efficacy of treatment
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms associated with a lower respiratory tract infection; when you have been treated for bacterial pneumonia or any other lower respiratory tract infection
Sample Required?
A sputum sample (deep respiratory secretions, not saliva), usually collected first thing in the morning; sometimes, depending on the infection, up to 3 sputum samples might be collected over consecutive days.
Test Preparation Needed?
You may be instructed to rinse your mouth out with water prior to collection and to avoid food for 1-2 hours before the sample is collected.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Sputum is the thick mucus or phlegm that is expelled from the lower respiratory tract (bronchi and lungs) through coughing; it is not saliva or spit. Care must be taken in the sample collection process to ensure that the sample is from the lower airways and not from the upper respiratory tract. Sputum samples may be expectorated or induced (See the section below on sample collection.)
Bacterial sputum cultures detect the presence of disease-causing bacteria (pathogens) in people who are suspected of having bacterial pneumonia or other lower respiratory tract infections. Bacteria in the sample are identified and susceptibility testing is performed to guide antibiotic treatment.
Sometimes a respiratory infection is caused by a pathogen that cannot be grown and identified with a routine bacterial sputum culture. Other tests, such as an AFB smear and culture, fungal culture, or viral culture, may be ordered in addition to or instead of a routine culture.
Typically, the first step in the routine analysis of a sputum sample is a Gram stain to identify the general type of bacteria that may be present. The sample is then placed on or in appropriate nutrient media and incubated. The media encourages the growth of bacteria that are present, allowing for further testing and identification.
Sputum is not sterile. That means that when a person has a bacterial respiratory infection, there will typically be harmless bacteria that are normally present in the mouth, throat, etc. (normal flora) as well as disease-causing (pathogenic) bacteria present.
A trained laboratorian differentiates normal flora from pathogenic bacteria and identifies the various types of bacteria present in the culture. Identification is a step-by-step process that may involve several biochemical, immunological, and/or molecular tests tests and observations of the organism's growth characteristics.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is frequently required to guide the treatment and to determine whether the bacteria present are likely to respond to specific antibiotics.
The sputum culture, Gram stain(s), and susceptibility testing all contribute to a report that informs the health practitioner which pathogen(s) are present and which antibiotic therapies are likely to inhibit their growth.
How is the sample collected for testing?
Sputum samples may be coughed up or induced. Samples that are coughed up are expelled into a sterile cup provided by the laboratory. Deep coughing is generally required, and the person should be informed that it is phlegm/mucus from the lungs that is necessary, not saliva. If someone cannot produce a sputum sample, then it can often be induced by following instructions provided and inhaling a sterile saline or glycerin aerosol for several minutes to loosen phlegm in the lungs. Steam inhalation or a hot shower can also be useful in loosening the phlegm. Sometimes, induction of sputum might be assisted by a respiratory therapist technician.
All samples collected should be taken to the laboratory promptly for processing while they are fresh. Sputum samples must be evaluated and accepted by the laboratory before they are processed.
Useful sputum culture results rely heavily on good sample collection. If examination of a Gram stain of the sample reveals that it contains a significant number of normal cells that line the mouth (squamous epithelial cells), then the sample is not generally considered adequate for culture and a re-collection of the sample may be required. If the sample contains a majority of white blood cells that indicate a body's response to an infection, then it is considered to be an adequate sample for culturing.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
You may be instructed to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth with water prior to sample collection. You may also be instructed to avoid food for at least 1-2 hours before the sample is collected, which is usually first thing in the morning.

Heyneke Meyer says the Springboks' best chance of beating the world champions is through a superior forward showing as well as a pin-point tactical kicking display.
The Boks thrashed the Wallabies last Saturday, running in five tries. It was a superb all-round effort where the Boks executed their game plan perfectly and a change at flyhalf made all the difference to their attack.
The Boks have not, as some fans and critics suggest, changed their game plan. Meyer has made it clear that not much will change when the Boks tackle the All Blacks at Soccer City, although he did concede that it would be a far tighter match, a real arm-wrestle.
'We will never beat them by playing them at their own game,' Meyer said. 'We won't out-manoeuvre or out-run them. No, if we're going to beat them we must force them to play our game. We will have to put the necessary pressure on them, on defence, at the breakdown and through our kicking game.'
The Bok pack has been in outstanding form recently, turning in a powerful display in Dunedin that unfortunately wasn't translated into scoreboard dominance.
The forwards produced another platform-setting performance in Pretoria, and Meyer lauded the collective after Saturday's game. On Monday, he was still reaching for the superlatives, and stating that another hard-nosed display was needed to upset the All Blacks.
'I've been very happy with them, and I think [assistant coach] Johan van Graan must take a lot of the credit too. We've suffered some big losses this year. We lost three quality locks [Victor Matfield retired, while Bakkies Botha and Danie Rossouw are now playing abroad]. We've also lost a number of loose forwards to injury [Schalk Burger, Juan Smith and Pierre Spies to name a few], but the forwards that have come in have done an outstanding job.
'They were superb in that loss in Dunedin, and again in Pretoria. I think Andries Bekker played his best Test last Saturday, he had a very high work rate. He is really starting to hit form. Francois Louw and Duane Vermeulen have also stepped up, and I'm happy with the way that loose-forward combination is working, also with Marcell Coetzee coming off the bench.
'Suddenly we're competing against the best in the world,' Meyer continued. 'It will be another huge test for us again this Saturday.'
The Bok coach did concede that dominance up front is meaningless if you can't convert that pressure into points. Last Saturday was the first time that the Boks played with confidence and converted their attacking chances. Meyer hopes this will be carried through to the next Test, and that the Boks will also improve on their erratic goal-kicking.
He intimated that the side that fronts the All Blacks won't differ from the one that started against the Wallabies, unless of course injuries force his hand.
'I like to plan for the long-term, I don't like to chop and change. They are playing with more confidence, and they are starting to execute the game plan. That confidence can be contagious.
'Somebody told me today that we are now ranked No 2 in the world. I don't like to talk about myself, but when I started we were ranked No 4. So we are doing something right. It's a process, and if we win this weekend, we would have not lost a home game in 2012. It will show that we've come a long way.'

Comments about Zipp Service Course CSL Handlebar:
I've had several different drop bars and these are my favorite yet. I like the short reach which makes reaching the levers easier while in the drops. The shallow drop and ergonomic bend (they are angled outward by 2 degrees) make riding in the drops more comfortable than any other drop bars I've ever had. I find myself riding in the drops way more than I used to on my old bars. The ovalized top is another great feature that most bars don't have! The short reach also allowed me to run a 120mm stem (my preferred stem length for handling reasons) on my current Cinelli Unica frame wihtout feeling too stretched out. Couldn't be happier.

As folks age their sense of balance can become compromised, which is why if you are caring for an elderly person, you need to make sure that the bathroom remains a safe place.
Taking a bath or a shower can be extremely dangerous and cause terrible injuries to a person if they slip and fall. Installing a shower or bath mat to make the surface slip-resistant is the first step, also having no-slip bath mats with suction cups on the bottom will help secure their footing when they step out of the bath or shower. Bath or shower grip bars will also help them hold on as they are entering or exiting the bath. They will be able to right themselves and to secure their place. A shower chair should also be considered if standing for too long places a strain on their body. Being able to sit down while cleaning makes for a worry free shower experience. Just make sure there are grab bars inside the shower for the person to grab hold of when standing up.
Being able to live an independent life should be the right of any person as they age. When a few simple precautions are taken for their health and safety in the bathroom, this will be a right they will enjoy for a long time.
If you have asthma and become pregnant you may be wondering about the safety of using a nebulizer.
Women who suffer from asthma can have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby, but it is important to be vigilant about seeing both their allergist and obstetrician and staying on top of their treatments.Read More
According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, 85 percent of patients suffering from incontinence are women. And many people with this condition are embarrassed and become isolated from others. They find it hard to deal with this life-changing condition, especially finding it hard to live a normal life, such as maintaining a job in the traditional workplace.
If you struggle with incontinence, you should not be embarrassed. Although this health condition is most common among elderly individuals, it does not have to be a problem that keeps you at home or isolated from the people you know.Read More
