For anyone who lives in Arizona, there is a program through Rx America that is free to Arizona residents.� It is a discount drug program, but the copays are sometimes less than what I would pay using my insurance.� I would imagine other states have something similar.� This has saved me a lot of money, what with the high cost of prescription drugs!�

To all members who have Medicare Part-D
For those who take medications that do not have a generic available, there is a "gap" in coverage and it will leave you to having to find other ways to get assistance when getting your meds.
Many of the drugs makes have assistance programs and when you request help from them, be sure to add info or letter stating you have no coverage because of the gap.
It will save you time, stress and maybe some financial hardships..
Here is an article link along with some other sites where you can get assistance with prescriptions.
There are several places that help those in need of prescription
medications, that are without insurance, or insurance does not pay. I
went through the process for myself, before I got my disability, and
now I have helped my husband get his meds for either free from these
companies or for very little cost.
I found this article today and wanted to share the information with all of you.
one thing I have noticed is that doctors, knowing people are "cash"
paying patients, do not for some reason mention how to get their
medications cheaper,
or for free. I know they must know about the places, since there is even advertising on television.
are some and a link to the article. It does work, you just have to get
the initial paperwork filled out correctly and also have your doctor
fill his part in.
Link to entire article:
are a few, and the article has links to several others also. It is
worth the time to get the paperwork (many times you can download it
from their websites, print it, and then fill it out, along with your
doctor filling his portion out, and sending it in. After that, then
usually if your doctor puts refills on the medications, you can call
in, and get the refills delivered right to your door.
this helps... I know it has helped us immensely. My husbands
medications are so expensive, there is no way we could afford them, and
try and also pay for doctors visits.

Great episode. Above all else, John Noble stole the show yet again.
Here's hoping Henry Ian Cusick returns at some point this season.
I don't know about anyone else, but the sight of Walter in his underwear and robe reminded me of Leonard Nimoy in the Bruno Mars music video "The Lazy Song." I half expected that song to start playing on the CD.

1977–1978 Dodge Monaco Pursuit
In the heart of the so-called malaise era, Dodge was still packing a (relatively) potent big-block monster under the hood of its midsize police cruisers. When police forces opted for the top E86 option on the Monaco Pursuit, they got the heroic 230-hp 440-cid V-8 topped with a four-barrel carb that generated 330 lb-ft of torque. Car and Driver tested the car in 1977 and clocked it to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds. That made this cop car one of the quickest American cars of the day—the top L82 350 V-8 in the Corvette made just 210 hp in 1977, so the Monaco was a serious performance car.
What sealed the Dodge's reputation was a starring role as the police chase vehicle of choice in The Dukes of Hazzard. Any cop car that can keep up with the General Lee is pretty stout.
1994–1996 Chevrolet Caprice 9C1
The rear-drive sedans GM produced from 1991 to 1996, like the Chevy Impala SS, Buick Roadmaster, and Cadillac Fleetwood, are some of the most sought-after American cars of the early '90s. Why? These cars were the last big rear-drive full-frame cars GM made, and more important, under the hood of each one was a de-tuned version of the Corvette's LT1 V-8 with 260 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque (a Corvette of this generation made only 40 hp more).
The police version of these cars was the legendary Caprice 9C1. It would smoke through the quarter-mile in around 15 seconds, and proved so desirable and durable that it was rumored police agencies spent their budgets restoring these cars rather than buying new Ford Police Interceptors.
2012-2013 Chevrolet Caprice PPV
The Pontiac G8—an Aussie-made GM rear-drive sedan that was imported here from 2008 to 2009—was a solid sport sedan. A 256-hp 3.6-liter V-6 or a 361-hp V-8 came in the regular versions, while a 415-hp 6.2-liter V-8 from the Corvette was part of the high-performance GXP model. For 2012, GM brought back a stretched version of the G8 for police duty.
The Caprice's top engine is a 355-hp V-8 paired to a 6-speed automatic. The performance of this Chevy should appeal to those officers who fondly remember the Caprice of the '90s; even V-6 versions are rated for a top speed of 150 mph. If an officer needs to pick one modern cop car to chase a villain up a canyon road, the Caprice would probably be the best choice.
2010 Ford Raptor Border Patrol Service Package
The U.S. Border Patrol doesn't ordinarily order a fleet of high-performance vehicles. The terrain they cover is dirt, rock, and cactus, not billiard table–smooth pavement. But that rough ground demands heavy-duty truck equipment, and the agency has been known to modify regular production pickup trucks and SUVs for extreme off-road use.
When Ford's SVT Raptor came along, the Border Patrol had a perfect rig for running hard along our desert-lined southernmost border. The U.S. government ordered a few Raptors, but because of the rigors of the job, these trucks had to be equipped with cloth seats instead of leather. We can't imagine any better vehicle for patrolling miles of rough and rugged dirt two tracks.
1975 Chevrolet Nova 9C1
The '75 police package Nova was a collaborative effort between Chevy Camaro and Nova engineers. The team dropped in a 165-hp 350-cid V-8 topped with a four-barrel carburetor and mated to a 3-speed automatic. That's hardly sounds "high-performance" by today's standards, but the Nova was a compact sedan, so it was relatively quick. Chevy took the brakes from the larger Impala sedan to haul the Nova down from high speeds without drama. Keeping the cop Nova level in the corners were parts that came directly from the Z/28 Camaro. Here was a real GM sports sedan for the 1970s.
2013 Ford Taurus Police Interceptor
As the old Crown Victoria Police Interceptors are phased out, Ford will have two new models to fill the void—an Interceptor based on the Ford Taurus and another based on the Explorer. The Taurus Interceptors borrow the hot 365-hp 3.5-liter Ecoboost V-6 from the SHO model, so it was no surprise that these cars topped the competition in acceleration in a recent Michigan State Police test, hitting 60 mph in just 5.75 seconds—a couple tenths quicker than the Caprice PPV. The Ford maintained its lead all the way up to 100 mph, though the Caprice did slip past the Taurus' 150-mph top speed by 4 mph.
The bottom line? Between the Charger Police Package, Caprice PPV, and this Taurus Interceptor, America now has the quickest lineup of police sedans it's ever seen. Lead-footed drivers beware.

White Paper Download
Health care has always been a data intensive industry; however, much of the patient care record has remained on paper, limiting the exchange of information between health care organizations. With a massive infusion of funding and regulation related to health information, increased automation and an exponential growth of health care data, the US health care system is experiencing a critical need to translate discrete and disparate data into actionable insight. Significant opportunities exist to deploy analytics to improve care and lower costs. To gauge and report on the current state and future of health care analytics, SAS commissioned Sage Growth Partners to conduct a study of experts from leading US academic institutions, hospitals, health systems, and physician and ambulatory enterprises. This report reveals that health care organizations have begun the transformation from data reporting to data analytics to improve their clinical and financial efficacy.

Weaknesses: None
Bottom Line:
A little history first. I have been mountain biking since 1988 and bought a Nitesun Endurance light set that same year. This was a 10 watt and 20 watt 12 volt 5.0 A/hr SLA set up which was the hot ticket back then. What impressed me was the beam angle, light output and burn time the Nitesun offered. What didn't impress me was the price and weight, the battery alone weighed over 4.5 lbs. I bought the helmet mount kit and mounted the lights, which were welded on to one plate, to the top of my helmet. This set up added over half a pound to my helmet which was not the greatest but offered 30 watts anywhere I wanted it.
I ride twice a week in the Victoria area with a bunch of guys with various light sets. There are NiteRider's, Nite Hawk's, VistaLite's, my old Nitesun's and some BLT's. In my opinion, beam angle and light output are paramount in off road riding at night. Many manufacturers have built some nice systems like MR-11 bulbs, composite construction and Ni-Mh battery packs. What they have missing is a usable beam angle.
About a month ago I took my BLT Terminator out on our ride. When it was time to turn on the lights I was dumbfounded at how much pure white light streamed out of this tiny light. All the other guys compared their lights with my Terminator and none could match it, they were all yellow with narrower beam angles. Some where downright pathetic in comparison. Even my beloved Nitesun's (which I had mounted on my handle bars) were in the shadows of the Terminator. The only exceptions were the guys with BLT Blitz lights which weren't as bright but had the same beam angle. What I couldn't believe was the white hot light combined with the best beam angle I've seen in such a small package. One guy who bought a very expensive VistaLight Ni-Mh set was embarrassed by the Terminator and cursed his lights.
I didn't manage to drain the battery as I was using the bar lights alone some of the time and both some of the time. Overall, the BLT Terminator is the best set up I've seen and should be a real winner for BLT.
Now, if you guys made a bar mount of this light with let's say a 9.0 A/hr Ni-Mh bottle battery, combined with the Terminator helmet light, you would own the night.

Did Cincinnati Effort Set New Precedent?
More than 500 Cincinnati residents from many different walks of life gathered this past weekend in the grand ballroom of the Millennium Hotel on Fifth Street West for a kind of conversation that guaranteed has never taken place at such a scale in this city before.
As a participant, I felt I was living a kind of history I'd only read about, a story where courage and beauty in spirit prevail, the stuff of William Wilberforce's legacy for instance.
I kept looking around the room awed by the bravery I felt must have been required for most of us to be there.
We had all most certainly given up something and/or overcome some kind of angst to attend this gathering that on one level promised nothing more than free food and really hard work.
Beyond the courage, the more I heard from people in one-on-one, group and whole-room discussions, the more I was moved by the beauty of the people in the room. There was a beauty in the gifts they were bringing to the table, both from themselves and the sectors and areas they represent.
As those gifts were shared, and inspired by a certain line of questioning, another wave of beauty spilled out around the room as people talked about their dreams and thoughts on the greatest possibilities for the future.
There was Margaret, who told us about the Ohio Empowerment Coalition that creates opportunities for people diagnosed with mental illness to not just manage or even recover from their illnesses, but actually become peer leaders and help others along a similar journey.
Talk about a shift in what's possible — people moving from the receiver to contributor position in the very context of their weaknesses. Perhaps less important but certainly noteworthy is that this program is proving not only to be less costly but more effective, and those in power are sitting up and taking notice. As a group we talked about the potential in this model for other chronic illnesses.
There was also Maria who told us about an emerging local, organic food co-op, inspired by the Mondragon co-op in Spain. She was passionate in sharing her dreams of being able to work in such a place of organizational democracy, and together we envisioned Cincinnati a haven of co-op activity in the future, where innovation and engaged workers are the norm.
And those are just two examples. This same sort of beauty was very clear in the whole-room sharing as well.
In the face of such beauty and courage at such a scale, all in one room, and also given the context of other challenges in the city of Cincinnati, the gathering truly did have what I felt must characterize an historic event for the city.
More than that, I felt it was not only another jewel to add to the line of best of humanity's acts of courage, but very possibly the first of a new kind of courageous act – or at the very least the introduction of a kind that has not been predominant.
While of course all of humanity's most renowned acts of courage are sparked and driven by a new vision, many of those visions – and not to discount them in any way because of this – are historically an inversion of the current reality – no slaves, women's rights, civil rights, disability rights, the end of Apartheid.
Is it possible we've reached a new stage in humanity's history with this Cincinnati effort?
Have many of those visions of an inverted reality been realized, and is the new task at hand to gather as citizens around a cause that is no longer predominantly about "no more of this" but to co-create a previously unimagined reality built on a new configuration of existing gifts, assets and resources?

While participating in the third session of the Peterborough Dialogues, a dialogue and media initiative Axiom News is hosting in our home town, I first had a wonderful feeling of sinking into rest, into freedom from striving — and then the thought came, "This must be what being in an oasis feels like."
An intriguing number of those who joined the Peterborough Dialogues "taste-test" yesterday admitted they weren't sure why they had come. Some went so far as to say they had absolutely no idea what the dialogues are about – even after having reviewed the media that's been created. Still, they came.
I had the privilege of joining another set of conversations with community members yesterday as plans for the Peterborough Dialogues continue to unfold.
The Peterborough Dialogues have been described as a forum for finding new ways to be active as citizens alongside existing systems. The initiative is set to launch in the few weeks.
If we agree the community economy holds great promise for Canada's future, what else might be done to make it more real and visible?
With news like that of the heightened risk of inflation and even more jobs on the line as Target announces its plans to pull out of the country, the sense that Canada's economy is skating onto increasingly brittle ice can leave one feeling a need to do one or both of two things: fret or hunker down and work even more feverishly at what's still left on one's desk to get done.
I had a feeling of being privy to an historic moment as I listened in on a call this week about designing a new ecology of practices to make more visible, connected and alive Canada's community economy, new economy or whatever the most apt term might be.
There's a pretty good chance those of us joining a call about the new economy this week had all the knowledge to instantly trigger a wholesale jump to the new economy
— if knowledge was all it took.

In a rousing speech at last night's Republican National Convention, vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, touted her record, attacked the opposition, and in some cases, bent the facts.
•PALIN: "[Obama] is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word 'victory' except when he's talking about his own campaign."
FACT: On July 15, in a speech in Washington, D.C., Obama twice used the word "victory" in reference to Iraq.
"In fact," he said, "true success in Iraq -- victory in Iraq -- will not take place in a surrender ceremony where an enemy lays down their arms. ... I want Iraqis to take responsibility for their own future, and to reach the political accommodation necessary for long-term stability. That's victory. That's success. That's what's best for Iraq, that's what's best for America, and that's why I will end this war as president.
A week later in Berlin, Germany, on July 23, Obama used the word "victory" three times to describe Allied successes during World War II. And in a June speech about the prospect of universal health care, he said Sen. Hillary Clinton "will be central to that victory."
•PALIN: "There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform -- not even in the state senate."
FACT: The meaning of "major" is open to debate, but Obama worked with Republicans, including Sen. Richard Luger of Indiana, to pass legislation that would expand efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to destroy conventional weapons stockpiles. While a state senator in Illinois, he sponsored two contentious bills, one that studied racial profiling by police and another that ordered interrogations in potential death penalty cases to be recorded.
•PALIN: "I fought to bring about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history. And when that deal was struck, we began a nearly $40 billion natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence. That pipeline, when the last section is laid and its valves are opened, will lead America one step farther away from dependence on dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart."
FACT: That infrastructure project has not yet been approved by federal regulators. The proposed pipeline would ship natural gas from the Alaska's North Slope to homes and businesses across the United States. In June, the Alaskan legislature, with Palin's prodding, agreed to pay Canadian energy company TransCanada $500 million as an incentive to build the pipeline.
•PALIN: "And I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending: nearly half a billion dollars in vetoes. I suspended the state fuel tax and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks, but no thanks,' for that Bridge to Nowhere."
FACT: While serving as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Palin hired Steven Silver, a former chief of staff for Sen. Ted Stevens, to lobby Congress for earmarks. Wasilla received around $27 million in federal money, about as much as Boise, Idaho. Boise has a population of 200,000 people, compared with Wasilla's 10,000. Earmarked funds went to sewage improvements and improving roads connecting the town to a local ski resort.

PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay ($10,000)
The PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay aims to preserve the dignity and esteem that the essay form imparts to literature. The winner receives a cash award of $10,000 and will be honored at the PEN Literary Awards.
There are no restrictions on the subject matter of the essays; books are judged solely on the basis of literary character and distinction of writing, and equal consideration is given to the work of both renowned essayists and more recently established writers. Essays may deal either with a range of subjects or may explore one specific theme, but the book, taken as a whole, should be a series of individual essays, not conceived as a single booklength work of nonfiction. Individual essays included in books may have been previously published in magazines, journals, or anthologies.
In 1991 PEN Member and author Barbaralee Diamonstein and Carl Spielvogel, former New York Times columnist, founded the PEN/Spielvogel-Diamonstein Award for the Art of the Essay to preserve the dignity and esteem that the essay form imparts to literature. The award took a hiatus from 2005-2010.
Past Winners: Bernard Knox, Martha Nussbaum, David B. Morris, Frederick Crews, Stanley Fish, John Brinckerhoff Jackson, Thomas Nagel, Cynthia Ozick, Adam Hochschild, Marilynne Robinson, Annie Dillard, David Quammen, David Bromwich, William H. Gass, Stewart Justman, Mark Slouka, Christopher Hitchens, Robert Hass, and James Wolcott.

New York Mesothelioma Lawyer Criticizes Moves to Expand Asbestos Production at Canadian Mine
Joseph W. Belluck, a New York attorney who represents mesothelioma victims, criticizes Quebec government for moving ahead with a plan to allow more production of chrysotile asbestos.
New York, NY (Vocus/PRWEB) April 18, 2011
New York personal injury attorney Joseph W. Belluck said today that Canadian officials' support of a plan to expand production and exportation of asbestos to improve the region's economy would come at the expense of workers' health in other countries.
"It's outrageous that a government would permit this toxic mineral to be shipped elsewhere, where it can expose another generation to illness," said Belluck, a New York City personal injury attorney whose firm, Belluck & Fox, LLP, is one of the country's leading advocates for the rights of mesothelioma victims.
According to the Montreal Gazette, Quebec government officials last week agreed in principle to guarantee a $58 million loan that will be used to expand the Jeffrey Mine "" one of the largest open pit mines in North America "" into underground operations.
The expansion would allow the mine to annually produce up to 180,000 tons of chrysotile asbestos by 2012 and eventually as much as 225,000 tons per year, with most of the exports going to India, the newspaper said.
Asbestos was once widely used in a variety of products in the U.S., Canada and elsewhere, including in insulation, automotive brakes, fireproofing, pipe covering, cement mixtures, joint compounds and floor tiles. Construction and industrial workers have been especially exposed to the mineral.
Today, asbestos use is limited in the United States but it is still not banned. It is also used around the world in developing countries.
The mineral has been linked to lung cancer and mesothelioma, an aggressive and deadly form of cancer which results from breathing in asbestos fibers that become lodged in the thin membrane that lines and encases the lungs. Each year, more than 90,000 people die from asbestos exposure.
The New York Times recently reported that Philip Landrigan, Dean of Global Health at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, stated in a letter to Quebec Premier Jean Charest that "there is no safe exposure level. It goes on killing for generations."
"As an attorney who has seen up close the impact of asbestos exposure on the lives of mesothelioma victims and their families, I can't imagine how anyone would support expanding this operation," Belluck said. "It's time to put an end to asbestos production "" period "" and put public safety first."
About Belluck & Fox, LLP
Belluck Fox LLP is a nationally recognized law firm that represents individuals with asbestos and mesothelioma claims as well as victims of crime, medical malpractice, motorcycle crashes, exposure to lead paint and other serious injuries. The firm provides personalized and professional representation and has won nearly $350 million in compensation for clients and their families.
Partner Joseph W Belluck is AV-rated by Martindale-Hubbell and is listed in New York Magazine's Best Lawyers in the New York Area and in Super Lawyers.

Partner Jordan Fox is a well-known asbestos and mesothelioma attorney who has been named to the Best Lawyers in America New York Magazine's Best Lawyers in the New York Area and to Super Lawyers.

AWEI ES800M In-Ear Hi-Fi Headphone
"The ES800 are the kind of IEMs you won't like how they sound out of the box: they sound thin and aggressive, with piercing mids and highs. Then you will question the design: the hideous "gold drop" on the back, the flat cable, the enormous cable splitter. The tips are not so good either.

BRAZIL BEAT: Scolari jokes at least he sleeps well
But this Thursday, host nation Brazil faces Croatia in Sao Paulo to open the 2014 tournament.
"Don't expect it before 5 or 6 (p.m.)," said Joao, who handles laundry at the complex. "You know how it is. Brazilians are crazy about football. Everyone will be watching."
He made a fist, stuck out his thump, and raised the imaginary drink to his mouth. He suggested there may be some celebrating, or drowning sorrow should Brazil lose.
Joao usually starts work at 6 a.m. On Friday, he'll come in about noon. He wants to avoid any problems.
"I don't want to be out driving early in the morning," he said. "People will still be out there going crazy."

SANTO ANDRE, Brazil — Along with the heat and humidity, the German team also has to come to terms with the unusually early kickoff time of its World Cup opener against Portugal.
Monday's match in Salvador kicks off at 1 p.m. local time, 2½ hours earlier than most Bundesliga games. Champions League and national team matches usually kick off at 8:45 p.m.
The German team has left it to individual players to decide how to best adjust.
"This is new for us, so we'll have to see how they adapt," said the team's general manager, Oliver Bierhoff.
There is no set time for breakfast, and a buffet has been opened so that players can decide when and what to eat. The team's practices have now been set for 1 p.m. as of Wednesday to simulate conditions for the opener.

MANGARATIBA, Brazil (AP) — Luigi Serrano was banging out the notes to the Neapolitan folk song "Reginella" at Casa Azzurri on Wednesday.
He's the official singer at the facility that the Italian football federation sets up at World Cups and European Championships for media and sponsor activities.
As visitors sip strong Italian espresso or taste a plate of pasta, they can listen to classic Italian tunes.
"I specialize in songs from the 60s, which are also very popular here in Brazil — songs by Peppino Di Capri, Mina, Ornella Vanoni," Serrano said.
Serrano is from the southern Italian region of Calabria and works as a pianist and singer at the well-known Jackie O' club off the famed Via Veneto in Rome.
He's been working at Casa Azzurri since the 2008 European Championship in Austria.
So who's the best singer on Italy's squad?
"I think (Antonio) Cassano, if I remember correctly. He's a nice guy," Serrano said. "(Andrea) Pirlo is nice too, but I don't think he sings."
The Italy squad also has a theme song and video created specifically for this World Cup by the Italian group Negramaro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71IGqqIDRAU

Massachusetts city threatened by bulging dam
BOSTON (Reuters) – Police closed off the southern
Massachusetts city of Taunton on Tuesday and evacuated 2,000
people from their homes after a 100-year-old timber dam
strained by record rainfall bulged and threatened to break.
Massachusetts emergency management officials said the
Whittendon Pond Dam in Taunton, a city of 49,800 people about
33 miles south of Boston, could fail any time in the next 24 to
48 hours after record rainfall swelled rivers and ponds across
northeastern United States last week.
"It's basically bulging," said Peter Judge, spokesman for
the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.
"Obviously the flooding we've had is something it has not
had to face in recent years," he added. "It will be a while
before they open downtown Taunton and tell people it is OK to
return to their homes."
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood advisory
that said the situation was "extremely dangerous" and "life
threatening." A makeshift shelter was opened for residents who
live along a river downstream from the dam.
Torrential rain and floods swamped cities across the
northeastern United States last week, washing out roads,
triggering mudslides, leading to power outages and forcing
hundreds of people to flee their drenched homes.
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney declared a state of
emergency in Taunton and has estimated the week of rain and
floods likely caused $6.5 million in damage in Massachusetts, a
threshold that would make the state eligible for federal aid.

Sweet and Spicy Smoked Pulled Pork
Submitted by Chris Manteria
Of course, dads love the grill. Simply, smoky, and a little bit out of control, cooking on the grill is usually dad's job. Even on his big day, he may want to handle this one. Can't you just taste this sweet and spicy smoked pulled pork? It's easier than you think to pull it together.
Submitted by: Scott Koeneman
Cool, creamy coleslaw makes the perfect side for all that barbecue pork. Dad is going to appreciate the addition of a crunchy side dish, and this recipe for sweet vinegar slaw is easy enough that all the kids can help make it. What makes it different, is that this recipe doesn't use mayonnaise. You will love how this sweet/sour flavor compliments the rest of the meal. It's a winner.

AlpineQuest GPS Hiking
10,000 - 50,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Psyberia
You can access and store locally a large range of on-line topographic maps, which will remain available even while being out of cell coverage. AlpineQuest also supports on-board file based maps, like MemoryMap(c) maps.
By using the GPS and the magnetic sensor of your device (with compass display), getting lost is part of the past: you are localized in real-time on the map, which can also be oriented to match where you are looking at.
Save and retrieve landmarks, share them with your friends. Track your path, get advanced statistics and interactive graphics. You won't have anymore questions about what you can accomplish.

Perfect and when I couldn't figure something out I got a very prompt and helpful email response. Thanks
(74 stars)
I use this app all of the time... It's perfect for travel and hiking. It's ability to download and use all types of maps and store them for offline use is excellent... especially Ordnance Survey (Memory Map) and Open Source maps. I love the way it tracks our walks and provides (and records) stats on the route.
(74 stars)
I use it for metal detecting and its phenomenal!
(74 stars)
Very good app. Maps seem to be accurate (at least for Scotland)
(74 stars)
Used all over Europe, in the Us and Canada. Works well - the report is accurate and easy to read. Well done!
(74 stars)
I use this app hunting and in my military service. Love the way you can save maps for when you go off grid. The only thing I wish it had was a way to share way points, and groups of way points, with people who also have the app. You can share a point, but it doesn't go straight into AlpineQuest. The only way to share like this is to dump the points out onto a computer, then have your buddy plug in
(74 stars)
Just downloaded AQ and first impressions are good. I have imported my tracks and routes from Memory Map no problems. The app merges adjacent maps which is a surprise. Can only get better.

Wife, mom to 6 great kids!...avid crafter, music lover, reader, gardener!
I posted this on the main PAL list but I haven't had a response yet. So I thought I'd ask you all. What do you think?
How early is too early for u/s?
I'm hoping someone can help me with this decision. I have an opportunity to have a free ultrasound tomorrow at the local crisis pregnancy center to help their new techs learn to read u/s. At first I jumped at the chance because my OB won't even see me until I'm 8 weeks. And an u/s would probably be at least a week after that. BUT, I'm only 5 wks and 5 days now. Would there really be any point to getting an ultrasound now? I want an early u/s this time around, but at 5 weeks I don't think it would offer much information or comfort. What do you all think? Would I be wasting my time and causing myself even more worry? (It would be an abdominal scan, btw.)

It looks like Facebook is experimenting with a new app that's codenamed "Moments."
The app will center on sharing things that might be too private for the wide-open audience of your Facebook Newsfeed, according to a report from TechCrunch. (more…)
Being a frequent user of Facebook over the years. I have experienced the same up's and down's and feelings of outrage over some latest changes that has been forced upon the users over the years. It occurred to me just what I think we are all missing in our news feed. (more…)
Facebook said its website is back up after suffering a widespread outage for nearly two hours today. (more…)
Editor: This is a GREAT ARTICLE on what recently happened on FaceBook, thought it was worthy of adding.
Remember when your Facebook news feed just contained your friends' status updates? Those were such innocent days. Then came ads dispersed here and there. And over time, those ads have looked more and more like actual status updates, luring you into thinking they're from a trusted source. Now, however, we have Facebook itself on the loose.
(Reuters) – Facebook Inc launched a smartphone app on Tuesday that will allow consumers to exchange disappearing photos and videos without requiring Facebook accounts, the Internet company's latest effort to develop mobile services beyond its core social network.
October has always been John Flynn's favorite time of year, but this year, it's even better. He gets to spend the month trying to hack into a fleet of Facebook computers equipped with a new kind of security tool — a tool that takes computer security beyond the password. (more…)
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg late Tuesday announced on his Facebook profile page the formation of a partnership with Samsung Electronics, Nokia, Qualcomm and others to make Internet access available to everyone on Earth.
Facebook just published a data breach notification on its security blog.
You might not immediately notice that from the title of the article, which announces itself as an "Important Message from Facebook's White Hat Program." (more…)
Facebook has started to roll out photo comments, a new feature that allows you to comment on posts with images rather than words. (more…)

Personally I prefer scrolling, but I'll take a look at how wrapping would be done.
Also, in this specific case I think that the scrollbar would actually be used rarerly - it is a detailed information not many people will be interested in, and often the part visible in the list might be sufficient (this points at awkwardnes of need to use the scrollbar to see the info, not at how does it look or feel on the screen).

Submitted by PvtVoid
PvtVoid writes: From TechCrunch: The exit of engineer Julie Ann Horvath from programming network GitHub has sparked yet another conversation concerning women in technology and startups. Her claims that she faced a sexist internal culture at GitHub came as a surprise to some, given her former defense of the startup and her internal work at the company to promote women in technology.

- Summary:
- Copper one Penny Surcharged Token. Issued by Brookes, Ironmongers, Brisbane, Queensland, circa 1855. Surcharged 'Wilson, Engraver, 390 Pitt S'.
The first Brookes token issues had identicle designs on both sides so that the term obverse and reverse cannot be applied. There were three issues struck by an uncertain but probably local mint. The first employed ornamental letters for the words IRONMONGERS and BRISBANE, later dies were made with plain letters. It is likley that the firm W. & B. Brookes, Ironmongers of Brisbane is the same company, that ordered tokens from the Birmingham firm Heaton and Sons, in 1863.

UWRF to Host Utah Poet Laureate
SEPT. 19, 2008--The University of Wisconsin-River Falls will host a poetry reading by Utah Poet Laureate David Lee on Thursday, Sept. 25 from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Chalmer Davee Library breezeway. On Sept. 26 Lee will be the keynote speaker at the Nature, Art, Self: A Conference for Critical and Creative Engagement, at 4 p.m. in the St. Croix River Room, University Center. Both presentations are free and open to the public.
Lee's poetry is greatly influenced by his unique career path, which spans decades. He has done everything from studying for the ministry and boxing to playing semiprofessional baseball and raising hogs, and he has most recently retired as chairperson of the Department of Language and Literature at Southern Utah University.
After publishing his first book of poems, "The Porcine Legacy," in 1974, Lee has gone on to receive numerous awards and acknowledgements for his work. He was named Utah's first Poet Laureate as well as one of Utah's top 12 writers of all time by the Utah Endowment for the Humanities. Lee was also the recipient of the Utah Governor's Award for lifetime achievement in the arts and has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The reading, sponsored by the UWRF English department, is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Jennifer Brantley at firstname.lastname@example.com or 715-425-3173.

Signaling molecules are those that can be received and read by a cell through a receptor molecule on its surface. Once the signaling molecules connect with a receptor, their union sets off a process that leads to the receiving cell changing its behavior. The sequence of events that follows involves a signaling pathway, which is a group of molecules that work together, one molecule activating the next until a specific function is carried out, such as renewing an organ's cells. There are many such signaling pathways.
But in the case of metastatic breast cancer, a disruptive pathway is formed. The signaling molecule, also known as a ligand, connects with a receptor molecule on certain bone cells and activates a cellular pathway that ultimately disrupts healthy bone renewal. Kang's team identified the signaling molecule as Jagged1, and the receptor molecule as one that activates a cellular pathway known as the "Notch pathway."
This finding gives cancer researchers a specific target, Kang said -- that of developing ways "to neutralize Jagged1's destructive power" and keeping it from interfering with normal bone growth.
At the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, Jacqueline Bromberg, a physician who also studies breast cancer, said the findings of Kang's team are promising.
"The bone is the most common site for metastasis in patients with breast cancer," said Bromberg, who met Kang several years ago while he was a postdoctoral fellow at Sloan Kettering. She noted that although there are treatments that can slow these tumors, such as estrogen-blockers, radiation and chemotherapy, "we have few therapies which effectively eradicate bone metastasis."
At the University of Indiana School of Medicine in Indianapolis, oncology professor Theresa Guise said the Princeton discoveries "show

Transparency in healthcare reached a new level over the weekend when the Association of Healthcare Journalists (AHCJ) unveiled a searchable database of past Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) hospital deficiency reports, formally known as "Form 2567s." The database compiles information regarding approximately 8,000 serious patient safety infractions from roughly 1,000 U.S. hospitals in Form 2567s issued since January, 2011. Previously, the public could only obtain the Form 2567s from a particular hospital through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or state public records requests. CMS released the Form 2567s to AHCJ as part of a collaborative effort to respond to the latter's request for these documents.
When AHCJ President Charles Ornstein announced the database's availability, he explained that it will allow the public to use keyword searches to find out which hospitals in a particular city or region had received inspections under the Form 2567 process, and how many times CMS issued a Form 2567 to a particular facility for the same error or deficiency. Overall, the database allows users to compare facilities more easily, without having to submit multiple FOIA or state records requests. The AHCJ will add newly issued reports on a quarterly basis. Currently, the database does not contain hospital plans of correction that document their responses to the Form 2567 reports and inspections, but CMS continues to consider efforts to make these documents available online. The AHCJ is also urging The Joint Commission to release results of its accreditation surveys of hospitals.
The new Form 2567 database follows last year's release of the CMS-based Nursing Home Compare website that documents quality of care information from over 15,000 Medicare and Medicaid-certified facilities. Additionally, comparison and review websites focused on individual physicians and providers have proliferated in recent years. Health care providers will need to carefully consider their responses to written agency inquires as the amount of information about them available on the Internet increases and as CMS's involvement in transparency efforts also increases.

Districts across the country are trying desperately to plug the holes in their budgets left by sequestration.
Districts across the country are trying desperately to plug the holes in their budgets left by sequestration.
July 11-13, 2013
Baltimore, Maryland
A pilot Active Schools Project that gets students involved in an hour of physical activity a day is catching on in 50 Wisconsin schools over the next three years.
State lawmakers spent time yesterday getting details about a plan to create an independent auditor for the Columbus City Schools and share the district's property taxes with charter schools.Among the concerns: whether charters also would be audited and whether district schools would be left under-funded.
Dinner cruises. Fried chicken and biscuits. Theater performances. A mother/daughter makeover. Such were activities that Baltimore City Schools spent using federal stimulus and Title I funds, a federal audit discovered.
The American Federation for Children, the nation's voice for educational choice, today applauded the Alabama House and Senate for ensuring thousands of Alabama families will have the opportunity to attend the school of their choice.
As Florida schools prepare for a state mandate that requires half of all learning materials to be digital by fall of 2015, state policymakers are trying to figure out how to get an electronic tablet or laptop into the hands of every schoolchild.
The school division of the Association of American Publishers has agreed to merge with the Association of Educational Publishers, a move that unites two of the largest organizations that deal with publishing for the K-12 market.
School reform and improvement efforts require an information technology infrastructure in service of learning and student success. Yet, digital learning tools and services can frustrate educators.
LaunchPad™ iOS & Touch Apps deliver a personal cloud desktop to your tablet or handheld. Access from these mobile devices allows schools to provide the same learning experience to all students regardless of device type. Whether using an Android, Apple or Windows mobile device, students have fast and easy access to all their school resources.
Fewer than 60 percent of Florida's third-graders — 57 percent — are reading at or above grade level, according to FCAT results released Friday morning. The figure represents a slight increase from last year's 56 percent.
With outgoing Superintendent Thomas Gialanella set to retire June 30, the township Board of Education named a 25-year school district employee as his replacement.
A strong system of quality, early childhood education can address various graps in school success, as studies have shown consistently positive effects of preschool.
McKie will earn a base salary of $190,000. He starts on Tuesday and said he plans to visit every school in the district before the school year ends on June 5.
Iowa's top education official and a leading advocate for school reform is leaving the state. Jason Glass, director of the state's Department of Education, has been appointed superintendent of Colorado's Eagle County school district.

With the cost of higher education rising ever higher even as the economy sputters, can we still justify this enormous expense? Liberal arts degrees send students and their parents into serious debt—-in some cases more than $100,000—-with no guarantee of payoff in a stagnant job market.
From a purely practical perspective, the costs of foregoing college have never been higher, as men without college degrees have been hardest-hit by the recent recession in the United States. Theirs have been the first jobs to disappear. But in this brief interview, Wheaton College president Phil Ryken looks at some of the other values of higher education, particularly the benefits of Christ-centered instruction modeled at his and other like-minded Christian colleges.

Red Wings' defenseman Nic Lidstrom announced his retirement from the NHL on Friday. The seven time Norris Trophy winner and arguably the best European born player of all-time, is hanging it up after 20 season with the Wings. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were perfoming at Detroit's Joe Lewis Arena the same night of Lidstrom's announcement. Near the end of the concert, the lead drummer and Detroit native, Chad Smith, brought out Nicklas Lidstrom. The crowd went nuts at the sight of Lidstrom, who said about the moment, "this might top it off." h/t: Detroit Free Press

Unveiling of YSR statue at Punjagutta crossroads causes traffic to go haywire
Commuters on the major arteries in the State capital were at their wit's end on Thursday as vehicular traffic movement came to a standstill on Panjagutta cross roads owing to the unveiling of the statue of Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.
With the main artery being shut down for most part of the morning, traffic jams were witnessed on all surrounding trunk roads during morning peak hours.
The bumper-to-bumper traffic swelled up to Kukatpally on one side and up to Lakdikapul on the other.
Resultantly, Mehdipatnam, Banjara Hills, Begumpet and Tank Bund routes too were clogged. Some semblance of order could be restored only after the statue unveiling function was over. The statue was erected on the kidney island on the Panjagutta cross roads.
The bad condition of roads had also contributed to the sluggish movement of traffic.
