PORTLAND -- Home builders are happy again and confidence is the best in five years, after several years of a hit-but mostly miss market.
It was just a few years ago that seeing a new house being built was a rarity. Today, it's a different matter.
The area's largest builder, Arbor Custom Homes is starting five homes a day at Arbor Oaks, a subdivision in Washington County.
There is a growing need for homes. Inventory in the metro area is down to its lowest since 2007, just 4.7 months -- almost half what it was just a year ago.
Low inventory means in some cases, sellers are getting their asking price.
We're seeing month over month prices have stabilized and have increased slightly, sales and marketing manager, Arbor Custom Homes Ben Droukas, said. Because of that, we have four more phases in this particular community that we actually have in plat for right now, because we know it's going to be a good time to do that.
And all this construction has a ripple effectof more jobs.
During the recession, the Parker Concrete company went from 100 employees, down to four. With construction work on the rebound, the company now has 50 workers and is slowly adding more.
It's looking good, the guys are feeling great about it, said Jason McCallister, Parker Concrete.

Cash remains Germans' preferred method of payment, according to a Bundesbank study.
More than half of all purchases, 53 percent, are paid for in cash, followed by debit cards at 28 percent and credit cards with 7 percent, the Frankfurt-based Bundesbank said today. A similar survey carried out four years ago found that 58 percent of all transactions were settled in cash and 25.5 percent by debit cards, the Bundesbank said.
Germans on average carry 103 euros ($135) in cash on their person, down from 118 euros in 2008, the study found.

Memo to the GOP: "You can't go to the well again and again and then claim the water's toxic."
The triumph of the Republican Party's "Southern Strategy" can finally be called complete.

The more I hear about how terrible the city was before the storm, the more I remember its unterrible charms.
The key is not to be found in the antics of the carefully crafted "rednecks" in front of the camera, but in the political commentary surrounding them — which is essentially a form of marketing.

Special Correspondent
KOCHI: The Kerala High Court on Tuesday ordered that the collection of fee from students admitted to the management seats in the six self-financing medical colleges that signed an agreement with the government would be subject to the outcome of a writ petition challenging the new fee structure fixed by the Fee Regulatory Committee headed by P.A. Mohammed.
Justice S. Siri Jagan passed the order when a petition came up for hearing.
According to Fathima Haseena and others, the order of the committee was illegal. The committee had convened a meeting to approve of the new fee structure of the colleges on a request by the Principal Secretary, Higher Education, and the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations.
The petitioners said the committee had no power to act on their requests. The action of the committee went against the statutes by which it was constituted.
The petitioners pointed out that the statutes did not empower the committee to revise a fee structure which had already been fixed for three years.
Besides, there was no material before the committee to decide on a new fee structure.
Meanwhile, the court allowed a petition filed by another student, P.A. Fathima, seeking to implead in the case.
She alleged that Ms. Hazeena and others filed the petition to prevent the flow of students from four Christian management colleges to the six self-financing colleges which had signed the pact with the government.
Order set aside
Justice V. Giri on Tuesday set aside the order of the Ernakulam Judicial First Class Magistrate issuing summons to the parents of Sister Abhaya, some newspapers and channels on a defamation complaint filed by Jomon Puthenpurackal.
In his complaint, Jomon had alleged that the statements made by the parents of Sister Abhaya at a press conference held in 2004 were defamatory.
They had alleged that Jomon had collected huge sums from various quarters in the name of conducting the Abhaya case.
Petition dismissed
Justice S. Siri Jagan dismissed a petition filed by two Public Works Department contractors against the Kerala Water Authority's (KWA) direction for submitting tenders for its works through the KWA web site after downloading the tender form.

UN food agency watches disaster-prone PH
COTABATO CITY—The United Nations' World Food Programme (WFP) admitted it was maintaining a tight watch over the Philippines as the country had become the third most disaster-prone country among the 173 countries it had been monitoring for possible disasters.
Praveen Agrawal, WFP country director, said because of this ranking, the Philippines had become a priority for assistance intended for calamity-prone and communities still coming to terms with the effects of recent disasters.
But Agrawal said while the WFP received additional
$5.5 million as disaster aid from the United States, it would be a lot better if the effects of such disasters as typhoons, earthquakes and armed violence were reduced.
This, the WFP official said, would be achieved with disaster preparedness training.
While the government, he said, has been conducting disaster preparedness and response trainings, recent events have shown these may not be enough.
"With the advent of the rainy season, the Philippine government may have to strengthen disaster preparedness," Agrawal said.
He said the risk from typhoons, numbering about 20 each year, was greater in the country's remote areas.
Last year, up to 2,000 people were estimated to have died following the landfall made by Typhoon "Pablo" in Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley.
Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said the government continued to conduct disaster preparedness and response trainings across various communities in Mindanao, Visayas and Luzon.
He said aside from preparing Filipinos against typhoons, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), which he chairs, had also been conducting earthquake drills.
These earthquake drills had been intensified following the 5.6-magnitude quake that twice struck Mindanao last week.
As this developed, a still undetermined number of people had been displaced anew as floods submerged several areas in North Cotabato and Maguindanao.
Floodwater even stalled traffic flow between Cotabato City and Davao City on Saturday as it reached up to waist level on the national highway linking the two cities.
Ruben Solitario, a resident of Barangay (village) Bulalo in Sultan Kudarat town, said water level started to rise about 10 p.m. on Friday after two days of torrential rains.
Assistant Secretary Pombaen Karon Kader of the Department of Social Welfare and Development in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao said social workers were still evaluating the situation to determine the number of families affected and whether or not there had been casualties.

EU approves Nokia's Navteq acquistion
Nokia has announced that it has received unconditional approval from the European Commission for its planned acquisition of Navteq and expects to close the deal within the next 5 business days.
Although the European Commission said competition issues were raised by the proposed purchase, this positive news was expected, especially after the similar TomTom and TeleAtlas buy-out was recently given approval.
"We welcome this news. Navteq will play a key role in our internet services strategy with world-leading maps and navigation industry expertise, a strong customer base and industry-leading map data and technology platform offering the broadest geographical coverage", said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, president and CEO, Nokia.

NAMPA Sunday afternoon, it was business as usual at the Video Mexico on Caldwell Boulevard in Nampa, but earlier in the morning, police say the store was robbed.
Nampa Police Sergeant Curt Shankel said at 9:42 a.m. Sunday, two young Hispanic men walked into the store, pulled out guns and asked the store clerk to get on the ground.
She did exactly what she should do, Shankel said of the clerk. She followed their commands. She got on the ground.
The suspects are described as wearing dark hooded sweatshirts with the hoods up, sunglasses and bandannas across their faces. One suspect's sweatshirt had a crest on the right chest. The other suspect was wearing a sweatshirt with writing across the chest.
With their faces covered, the suspects then took merchandise and apparently money. Nampa Police are still compiling a list of stolen items.
When people come into your business and hold you at gunpoint, you know, yelling at you, stealing whatever they steal, that has a very devastating emotional impact on that person, said Shankel. It can have a devastating effect on the employee that has to deal with that.
Shankel also told KTVB this small, locally owned shop now has to find a way to financially cope with what was just stolen from them.
It has an effect, one, on their livelihood, he said. That is money out of their pocket. That is money they use to pay their employees.
Edgar Martinez lives in the trailer park directly behind Video Mexico and heard about the armed robbery from a friend. He visits the shop regularly and was shocked to hear it was robbed at gunpoint.
It's just a surprise for everybody, said Martinez. I didn't believe him at first because it's quiet around here.
Martinez can't help but wonder who would want to steal from Video Mexico.
Everyone is good friends with the owner of the store, he said. Who would have something against nice people?
Shankel is hoping someone will come forward with information that could help police find the robbery suspects.
The store sits on Caldwell Boulevard which is lined with businesses, he said. It has restaurants beside it. So there are a lot of people in the area.
Police still aren t sure if the two suspects fled on foot or in a car, so any details from the public would help in this investigation. If you have information, you're asked to call Crime Stoppers at 343-COPS.

During the early 1970s, Alex Grey reacted to the stultifying minimalism of the institutional art world by setting his armpit hair on fire and bringing decomposing dogs to art school. But this youthful nihilism subsided on May 30, 1975, the night he first dropped acid and met his future wife and fellow artist, Allyson Rymland.
"I gained an entirely new perspective on existence," says Grey, whose casual manner is offset by intense blue eyes, long silvery hair, and a somewhat ageless countenance. "First I realized there was a possibility of being happy. Then I understood that I could have a direct relationship with some kind of divine reality."
Informed by their newfound love and a shared exploration of a wide variety of entheogens, Grey's work took a sharp metaphysical turn and, quite quickly, came to typify the very best of psychedelic art. Over the years, Grey's paintingsenergy grids emanating from meditating figures; fiery busts with swirling galaxies in the place of eyes; "subtle bodies" revealing chakras, pressure points, and psychic emanations; religious archetypes composed of third eyes and esoteric iconography; anatomical figures without flesh engaged in passionate embraceshave appeared on the covers of Newsweek, Juxtapoz, and ArtPapers. He has created album art for the Beastie Boys, Nirvana, String Cheese Incident, and Tool and exhibited at P.S.1 in New York, the Grand Palais in Paris, the São Paulo Biennial in Brazil, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego; his art also enhances rave flyers and sheets of blotter acid across the country. Grey's most ambitious worka series of 21 life-size canvases called the "Cosmic Mirrors," which took nearly 10 years to completepresents the human form in varying states of anatomical and spiritual undress. One painting shows a nearly scientific rendering of a body's lymphatic system while another portrays the "universal mind lattice," a vision of consciousness Allyson and Alex shared while tripping one night. The Chapel was originally meant to display these large paintings, but since opening two years ago, it has become something more.
"The [Grey] family really attracts people," says 30-year-old Eli Morgan, a longtime Tool fan and Grey admirer who volunteered to co-produce trance parties in order to raise money for the creation of the COSM. (Morgan now functions as the chief graphic designer for the quarterly COSM Journal for Visionary Culture and as creative director for COSM Press, which has just released a coffee-table book on the intentional community of Damanhur.)
"The parties didn't really make money," admits Grey, "but they built community, which was the missing component. We really wanted to create a sacred space where creativity and spirituality could be explored, but a chapel without a community is just a joke."
Housed in a long stately hall with moody lighting, burnished wood floors, and golden pillars shaped like seraphim, the chapel is certainly a stirring space. The massive cosmic mirrors, set in custom-made frames depicting the varying paths of wisdom and science, beg attention and reflection. "Allyson inspired the entire series," says Alex. "I wouldn't have done it without her. She told me to paint them. She named them."
"He always says that," says Allyson, giving her husband a deep kiss in front of the rapt crowd. "Alex makes me the source of what he does, but everyone knows that he is the source of my whole life. If you want to know how to make a relationship work, that's it: Be each other's source."
Alex opens a set of heavy wooden doors, beckoning us under an archway that reads, "Surrender to Love."
The Chapel, we discover, is just the beginning.
COSM houses several galleries that form a sacred spiral filled with both Greys' artwork: There are vivid fractals featuring an invented alphabet; beings of light in the acts of copulation, birth, and death; family portraits including daughter Zena Lotus Grey; a psychedelic rendering of Albert Hofmann; a foreboding vision of an escapable apocalypse. Each room reveals more of the Greys' distinctive internal vision.

Police are connecting a string of multi-county business break-ins involving thieves who disarm alarm systems before stealing money safes.
Law enforcement officials have suspects in the break-ins, and they say those suspects are professional thieves who were arrested in the past for similar crimes.
Break-ins at Dollar General stores in Claremont and Conover were reported in the past several weeks, which led police to think those break-ins are related to a string of similar crimes in Burke and Caldwell counties.
A Germany-based medical supply manufacturing company has 113,955 more reasons to continue operating its business in Newton.
The Catawba County Board of Commissioners approved an economic incentive package for Sarstedt Inc., which makes science and medical instruments at a facility on St. James Church Road in Newton.
The recently approved county incentives come in addition to incentives from the city of Newton in the anticipation that the company will create a new county investment of $14.2 million, as well as 20 new jobs.
Catawba County gun-purchase permits and concealed-carry applications decreased in 2010 after hitting a 10-year high in 2009.
The Catawba County Sheriff's Office reported 2,781 gun-purchase permits in 2010, which represents an 18 percent decline since permits spiked at 3,413 in 2009. The sheriff's office also reported a 29 percent decrease in concealed-carry applications from 2009 to 2010.

Piecyk has a price target on the stock of $14, far below the current stock price. He notes that Pali's EBITDA estimates are $1 billion below the consensus for this year and $2 billion below consensus for 2008. "We believe that if the company reports quarterly results below the consensus estimates or if the consensus estimates are revised closer to our estimates the stock could begin to drop in search of a trough valuation. Currently we believe investors are valuing the company with some optimism that the turnaround has begun."
Piecyk expects the company's post-paid subscriber base to drop by more than 1.3 million in 2007, "primarily because of the inability of the company to improve its churn rate."
Piecyk also thinks rumors that Sprint could get a buyout bid from Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) or a group lead by retiring executive chairman Tim Donahue are likely false. "We have found little to no merit in these theories and our opinion is that there is no intention by either of the parties to execute such a plan…we believe this is a highly unlikely possibility for the foreseeable future."
Sprint shares today have gained two cents to $19.17.

The group that experienced mood symptoms was more explosive, out of control, physically and verbally violent and depressed than the group that experienced memory and thinking deficits, with family members reporting that 73 percent of those in the first group were "explosive," compared to 27 percent in the second group. A total of 64 percent of the first group were described as being "out of control," compared to 27 percent of the second group, and 68 percent were physically violent, compared to 18 percent. A total of 74 percent were verbally violent, compared to 18 percent. And 86 percent had depression, compared to 18 percent of those with memory symptoms.
Stern noted that the findings also should be viewed with caution, as there was no comparison group of former athletes without CTE in the study. In addition, families choosing to participate in the study may have been more likely to witness more severe symptoms than those not participating, which could have affected the results. Stern also added that these findings suggest that the diagnosis of dementia in older individuals with a history of repeat brain trauma may be difficult because many of the symptoms of CTE are similar to other diseases such as Alzheimer's.

Football: Everton ensure long-time fan did not waste his trip from Malaysia
Published on Feb 13, 2014 4:41 PM
LIVERPOOL (Reuters) - The wild English weather ruined the night for thousands of Everton fans when the Premier League game against Crystal Palace was postponed on Wednesday.
However, a dream came true for one long-time supporter. Malaysian Rick Wee, a follower of the Merseyside club for 30 years, arrived at Goodison Park to watch his team play live for the first time, only to see the match called off owing to safety concerns.
"Sadly Everton v Palace called off due to bad weather. Dream to watch EFC play will continue to be on hold," Wee said on his Twitter feed alongside a picture of his match ticket.
Thanks to his tweets, the club found him before he left the ground and took him to meet manager Roberto Martinez and England left-back Leighton Baines.

Outside of Christian rock and country singers, few modern musicians have invoked Jesus' name as often as Jason Pierce. Although you'd never peg the Brit as a holy man, his songs with Spacemen 3 nonetheless offered variations on begging favors from the Lord and arguing with God over the entrance requirements to get into heaven. When Pierce moved on to Spiritualized, he didn't lose the faith: God remained both a muse and a metaphor. The musician has spent much of the past decade-plus perfecting addictively druggy devotionals with Spiritualized, bending God's ear on one hand and describing a devilish devotion to getting high on the other.
Seeing Pierce perform live has rightly been called a religious experience because the stage offers the perfect space to expand on Spiritualized's grandiose symphonies. The songwriter is an absolute master of layering it on thick — adding brass, piano, and saxophones; dreamy, droning, dissonant guitars; and myriad other texturizers to his buzzing space-rock pandemonium. What makes Spiritualized such an exciting act, though, is the juxtaposition of voluminous intensity against moments of tempered dream-pop. For every squall, there's a meditative eye of the storm. One perfect example: The live album Royal Albert Hall October 10 1997 barely manages an intro before exploding into glorious noise, which then breaks for a languid electric guitar melody.
For the end of 2007 Pierce is trying something a little different, dropping the terraced dynamics in favor of a more consistently mellow sound. Spiritualized's limited "Acoustic Mainline" tour, which stopped at Bimbo's last week, strips the lineup down to Pierce on acoustic guitar and Spiritualized's Doggen on keyboards and harmonica, plus a string quartet and three gospel singers. The crew performed relatively subdued versions of Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized songs in San Francisco to whet fans' appetites before the next Spiritualized record comes out in 2008.
The problem is that without the usual instrumental bombast, the audience focuses on the lyrics — and Pierce can be a very mediocre lyricist. Listening to the delicate versions of the songs (the set skipped over a couple big albums, including Spiritualized's debut, Lazer Guided Melodies) I realized just how much his lines stick to some variation of "Please, Lord" this and "Oh Lord" that, offering little in the way of clever insight or deep thought.
Words were never the reason you listened to Spiritualized. The attraction lies in the gigantic walls of sound, erected and then melted away, with Pierce's aching vocals floating through the haze. Place his narration at the forefront, and the set list suddenly becomes indistinct.
It wasn't just the narration that flatlined, however. The music itself started to blend unflatteringly as well. Pierce neutered the band's wonderfully violent outbursts and instead gave us a collection of his well-behaved material. And while that was a nice enough sentiment for a candle-lit Bimbo's show on a school night, I don't need "Cool Waves" to sound just like "Oh Happy Day" and "Shine a Light." With everyone in the band seated and the gospel choir maintaining a moderate volume, I found myself wishing the set were the warm-up to the real deal. I wanted Pierce to break this spell of tasteful moderation to really lead his fellow musicians into a frenzy, to show the conflicting emotions his army of instruments usually evokes, instead of the guitar and strings and keyboards united in safe harmony.
Still, the acoustic arrangements didn't sink every song. Pierce is my kind of romanticist, laying plain tortured relationships. A couple excellent odes to longing off Spiritualized's Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space actually translated well in this setting — especially the title track, which pulls in midsong Elvis' warning about fools rushing in. The band followed that single with "Broken Heart" ("I'm crying all the time/I have to keep it covered up with a smile/And I'll keep on moving on for a while") and "I Think I'm in Love," the cynical ditty about being married to your drug habit. The trinity of mood-swinging sentiments was a refreshing respite from the onslaught of shout-outs to the Lord.
Even with Pierce sterilizing his repertoire, some fans remained hopelessly devoted to their leader. Towards the end of the night, one voice from the back of the room yelled, "We love you!" at the stage, and the seated crowd worked up to a standing ovation before the encore. I couldn't tell, though, if the praise from the sold-out room was simply due to the memory of what these songs sounded like on record years ago, or if people were genuinely moved by this diminished version of Pierce's cosmic vision.
Personally, though, I'm saving my hallelujahs for the time when Spiritualized once again brings down the universe from the stage. This level-headed staging of the God and dope drama really didn't do Spiritualized justice. So, Lord, hear my prayers and bring back the old Jason Pierce — the one whose lyrics are just one small facet of his heavenly racket.

Arab Foreign Ministers Open Talks on Summit Agenda
Foreign ministers and delegates of the 22-strong Arab League opened two days of talks Saturday in Amman to finalize the agenda of next week's Arab summit after a preparatory meeting of industry and economy ministers hit snags over a dispute between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, reported AFP.
Arab support for the six-month-old Palestinian uprising against Israel and "the situation between Iraq and Kuwait" will dominate their discussions at the Royal Culture Center in Amman.
"We will try by every possible means to promote everything that can unify (Arab ranks) and avoid issues that create disunity in order to guarantee the success of the summit," an Arab minister told AFP ahead of the meeting.
On Friday, Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa told the official Petra news agency that the summit will discuss the political and economic issues that will contribute to the enhancement of joint Arab action in all fields and crystallize
a unified Arab position towards the peace process.
"The summit will not discuss a subject at the expense of another and therefore, all issues that are raised on the agenda will be dealt with adequately."
This will apply to the Iraqi-Kuwaiti situation, he said, adding that the summit will discuss mechanisms for supporting the Palestinian National Authority and the Palestinian people politically and economically – Albawaba.com

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: David O. Staats, MD (University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center)
Description: This new textbook of geriatric medicine is case-based, evidence-based, and illustrated completely in color.
Purpose: It is intended as a case-based textbook of geriatrics that also integrates the complexities of geriatric medicine into a meaningful whole. These are excellent objectives, all met in a wonderful way. This book stands out from other textbooks of geriatric medicine.
Audience: The audience is medical students, family medicine and internal medicine residents and fellows, and students of nursing, social work, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and pharmacy. I think more senior physicians, especially those who teach, will find this book stimulating. All the authors are experts in the field.
Features: The book is divided into three sections. The first, on issues in aging, is divided in turn into foundation, examination and function, decision-making, and common situations. The second section, interprofessional geriatrics, demonstrates the team approach in a variety of settings. The third section discusses common syndromes in geriatrics. The book uses a format that includes a pre-test and post-test, a case description set off in boxes woven throughout, and lavish full-color illustrations.
Assessment: This is a brilliant addition to the literature of geriatric medicine. Some topics are covered in different ways, but this is never repetitious, rather more like looking at a gem from different angles. The evidence-based, case-based, pre-test, post-test format makes this an ideal book from which to learn. The breadth and depth are stunning. The editing and format would be enough to highly recommend this book, but the beautiful use of color on every page, permitting lavish illustrations, tables, figures, and examples of tests, makes this at the same time a brilliant exposition of the true nature of geriatric medicine, and a work of art as well. Run, do not walk, to see it!

Is there anyone that is still RF (or just recently switched to FF)??
DS is FF now - currently in a Marathon 70, we swap seats around a lot! He's been FF since about December... but I'm really itching to flip him back RF. DH is tired of his seat getting kicked, etc. Plus I'm just worried about that chance of an accident and his neck not being strong enough to withstand crash forces.
Is anyone else worried about their kid being FF? We can't afford a radian right now - DH is unemployed and my hours will be cut (hopefully temporarily) starting in May. I'm going to see if he still fits in the MA70, but I'm not sure he will... and it's the only other seat we have with a 40lb RF limit. I'm thinking he's too close to the 35 lb limit of the other seats - he's 33 lbs. I may just have to suck it up and FF b/c of lack of finances.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Despite not yet recording a base hit and trailing 3-2 after two innings Thursday afternoon in Punxsutawney, the Punxsy JV baseball team scored 13 runs on 12 hits over the course of the final three innings to win a 15-3, five-inning contest over Marion Center via the 10-run rule.
"Our bats started out a little bit sluggish, and it seemed like we needed a wake up call," Punxsy head coach Rodney Thompson said after the game. "When you have some pitching that's a little bit slower, you have to stay back on it. But hitting is still hitting."
PUNXSUTAWNEY — It would be a "virtually impossible" feat today, according to his daughter, Mary Ann Barilar.
But from 1917-1921, Joseph (Joe) V. Harrick (1895-1958), earned 16 letters during his college career at West Virginia University, and is the one and only recognized 16-time letterwinner in WVU history.
A Punxsutawney native and former Punxsy coach, Harrick's greatest feat was earning four varsity letters each in football, baseball, wrestling and track and field.
Bernard R. "Bud" Dobson, 87, Coolspring, died Wednesday, May 2, 2012, at Mahoning Riverside Manor, Punxsutawney.
He was born Sept. 17, 1924, in Worthville, a son of the late Jacob A. and Ida Mae (Maurer) Dobson.
April 21, 1948, in Worthville, he married his wife of 64 years, Lois G. Fike, who survives.
Mr. Dobson was a veteran of World War II, having served on the USS McCracken and USS Talladega in the Pacific Theater.
Janet T. "Toddy" Mahan, 83, Warren, entered the presence of the Lord Wednesday, May 2, 2012, after a short illness.
She was born Oct. 14, 1928, in Oliver Township, a daughter of the late John and Edna (Lingenfelter) Todd.
March 31, 1951, in Winchester, Va., she married Gordon David Mahan, who preceded her in death May 5, 2008.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — After looking as if it was starting to come into its own Saturday and Monday with a pair of 9-0 sweeps over DuBois Central Catholic and Johnsonburg Saturday and Tuesday, respectively, the Punxsy boys' tennis team found itself in a bit of a hole after dropping the top three singles matches against Clearfield Wednesday in Punxsutawney.
But down 0-3, the Chucks never showed any signs of quitting, and they rallied to win the last six contested matches to earn a 6-3 victory.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The future of PAHS athletics lies in the junior high ranks, and if Monday's junior high boys' track meet is any indication, Punxsy's track program has a bright future. The Chucks played host to Elk County Catholic and DuBois Wednesday afternoon in the season's final home meet and picked up a pair of convincing victories, 110-39 over ECC and 84-65 over DuBois.
In the Elk County dual, Punxsy was especially dominant on the track, outscoring the Crusaders 72-14.
Elk County managed just one first-place finish in the 11 track events.
Sitting around the dinner table at a family dinner hosted by my grandparents Sunday afternoon, the topic of cheating came up.
Despite the different sports news surrounding cheating lately, though, it wasn't any of the NFL scandals that brought the topic to the forefront. In fact, I was the culprit.
I was telling a story about my brother chasing me through the front yard when we were children after a game of baseball went wrong, playing the victim card quite well. My family knows me too well, though, and my aunt asked, "Well, how badly were you cheating to cause him to do that?"
Phyllis J. Grube, 88, Punxsutawney, died Wednesday, May 2, 2012, at Punxsutawney Area Hospital.
She was born Sept. 28, 1923, in Punxsutawney, a daughter of the late Charles and Blanche (Dennison) Hurd.
May 26, 1943, she married Richard M. Grube, who preceded her in death July 19, 2001.
She was a member of the First Church of God.
Mrs. Grube enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and loved spending time with family and friends.
Shawna M. Marshall, 52, Mahaffey, formerly of Punxsutawney, passed away Wednesday, April 25, 2012, at her home.
She was born Sept. 4, 1959, in Dodge City, Kansas, a daughter of Betty (Tolson) Marshall, who survives, and the late Harold Marshall.
She was a graduate of Calvary Christian Bible School.
Patricia J. McCracken, 70, Brookville, died Tuesday, May 1, 2012, at Shadyside Hospital, Pittsburgh.
She was born Dec. 3, 1941, in Pittsburgh, a daughter of the late Charles T. and Mary V. "Jean" (Pew) Gottschalk.
Sept. 10, 1960, in Pittsburgh, she married John T. "Tom" McCracken, who survives.
Mrs. McCracken was a homemaker and an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, cooking, baking, and made every holiday and birthday special for her family.

Club record signing Beattie desperate for Swansea success
Swansea striker Craig Beattie is desperate to prove himself at the Liberty Stadium this season.
The club record signing from West Bromwich Albion struggled in his first season with the Swans, with injuries hampering his progress.
But the former Celtic striker is hoping for an upturn in fortunes under new boss Brendan Rodgers, who was confirmed as Paulo Sousa's successor last week.
"I was disappointing last year - it took me a while to get going," Beattie told the Evening Post.
"Paulo (Sousa) eventually put me in and I started doing really well, but then in November I had a grade two strain in my knee and a back spasm, which took me a while to get over."
He added: "I got a few important goals away from home, but now I just want to get out there and show the fans at the Liberty why I was signed. I hope they will see the best of me. I don't want to say last season went badly, but I suppose what I'm trying to say it that it won't go any worse."

Comprehensive gait analysis is the quantitative laboratory assessment of coordinated muscle function, typically requiring a dedicated facility and staff. At its core is the videotaped observation of a patient walking. Videos can be observed from several visual planes at slow speed, allowing detection of movements not detectable at normal speed. Joint angles can be measured, and various time-distance variables can be measured including step length, stride length, cadence, and cycle time. Electromyography (EMG), assessed during walking, measures timing and intensity of muscle contractions. This calculation allows determination of whether a certain muscle's activity is normal, out of phase, continuous, or clonic.
Kinematics is the term used to describe movements of joints and limbs such as angular displacement of joints and angular velocities and accelerations of limb segments. The central element of kinematic assessment is some type of marker system that is used to represent anatomic landmarks, which are then visualized and quantitatively assessed during analysis of videotaped observations. Movement data are compiled by computer from cameras oriented in several planes, and the movement data are processed so that the motion of joints and limbs can be assessed in three dimensions. The range and direction of motion of a particular joint can be isolated from all the other simultaneous motions that are occurring during walking. Graphic plots of individual joint and limb motion as a function of gait phase can be generated.
Kinetics is the term used to describe those factors that cause or control movement. Evaluating kinetics involves the use of principles of physics and biomechanics to explain the kinematic patterns observed and generate analyses that describe the forces generated during normal and abnormal gait analysis.
Gait analysis has been proposed as an aid in surgical planning, primarily for cerebral palsy. It is also being investigated as a means to plan rehabilitative strategies for ambulatory problems related to aging, stroke, spinal cord injury, etc.
The Commission for Motion Laboratory Accreditation, a non-profit organization established in 1997, evaluates and accredits motion laboratories within clinical facilities. A multidisciplinary team uses a set of criteria to evaluate laboratories in the areas of administration (e.g., staffing, policies, and procedures), equipment (e.g., accuracy and precision), and data management and reporting (e.g., control and clinical data sets).
The Electrodynogram™ is one of the many proprietary devices used in gait analysis. It is a computerized diagnostic device that quantitatively measures and times the coordination of weight-bearing forces and muscular activity exerted on the feet and legs. In May 2003, the Peak Motus Motion Measurement System (Peak Performance Technologies) was cleared for marketing by the U.S. Food and drug Administration (FDA) through the 510(k) process. This system uses off-the-shelf video cameras and sensors and proprietary software to document human movement in two- or three-dimensional space. The FDA determined that this device was substantially equivalent to existing devices and is indicated for assessment and training of limb or body motion in gait analysis, pre- or post-rehabilitation evaluation, physical therapy, and similar applications.
NOTE: Surface EMG may be used as part of gait analysis, but the two terms are not synonymous.
Prior authorization is recommended. To authorize, call Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana (BCBSMT) Customer Service at 1-800-447-7828 or fax your request to the Medical Review Department at 406-441-4624. A retrospective review will be performed if services are not prior authorized.
Medical Necessity
BCBSMT may consider comprehensive gait analysis medically necessary as an aid in surgical planning in patients with gait disorders associated with cerebral palsy.
BCBSMT considers comprehensive gait analysis experimental, investigational and unproven for all other applications, including but not limited to:
Gait analysis that is not comprehensive is considered experimental, investigational and unproven for all indications.
Federal Mandate
Federal mandate prohibits denial of any drug, device or biological product fully approved by the FDA as investigational for the Federal Employee Program (FEP). In these instances coverage of these FDA-approved technologies are reviewed on the basis of medical necessity alone. NOTE: Utilize this pre-service request form for FEP pre-service requests for gait analysis (Foot Pressure Measurements).
Gait analysis is sometimes termed dynamic EMG and surface EMG, and may be erroneously submitted on claims under EMG codes.
Rationale for Benefit Administration
This medical policy was developed through consideration of peer reviewed medical literature, FDA approval status, accepted standards of medical practice in Montana, Technology Evaluation Center evaluations, and the concept of medical necessity. BCBSMT reserves the right to make exceptions to policy that benefit the member when advances in technology or new medical information become available.
The purpose of medical policy is to guide coverage decisions and is not intended to influence treatment decisions. Providers are expected to make treatment decisions based on their medical judgment. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana recognizes the rapidly changing nature of technological development and welcomes provider feedback on all medical policies.
When using this policy to determine whether a service, supply or device will be covered, please note that member contract language will take precedence over medical policy when there is a conflict.
A 2001 Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) Technology Evaluation Center (TEC) Assessment offered the following observations and conclusions regarding gait analysis for pediatric cerebral palsy:
The 2001 TEC Assessment focused on gait analysis among children with cerebral palsy. At that time, even less literature existed on gait analysis used in other musculoskeletal disorders.
Due to a lack of standard interpretation of gait analysis and insufficient evidence on its effect on health outcomes, gait analysis was considered investigational for all applications. The ideal study design to evaluate the utility of gait analysis for surgical planning or evaluation or rehabilitation planning would be a randomized controlled trial comparing health outcomes in patients managed with and without gait analysis.
Accuracy and Reliability
A systematic review of 18 studies on gait classification systems was published in 2007 (Dobson et al.). The review included studies that involved classification of gait impairment based on kinematic, temporal-spatial kinetic, or electromyographic (EMG) data. Fifteen studies used three-dimensional gait analysis, one study used video observation analysis and six studies used EMG data. The authors assessed the overall methodological quality of the studies as low. Many studies appeared to classify patients arbitrarily rather than by using clear clinical decision-making principles. Only two studies evaluated the reliability of classification and the methods for determining the validity of classification systems was inadequate. In an earlier study funded by the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation, four different gait analysis centers gave different treatment recommendations after evaluating the same 11 patients (Noonan et al.) Thus, there appears to be inconsistency in gait analysis recommendations between some centers.
Impact on Health Outcomes
The ideal study design to evaluate the utility of gait analysis for surgical planning or evaluation or rehabilitation planning would be a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and would compare health outcomes in patients managed with gait analysis to patients managed using another approach.
In 2011, Wren and colleagues published a systematic review of literature on the efficacy of gait analysis. The authors identified seven studies evaluating the effect of gait analysis on patients' health outcomes; none were RCTs. The studies addressed a variety of clinical conditions, and the authors were not able to pool findings. The systematic review also identified studies evaluating other aspects of gait analysis including technical accuracy, diagnostic accuracy, and societal efficacy (i.e., impact on number and cost of procedures). The authors concluded that, although there is lower-level evidence (e.g., case series, case-control studies) supporting gait analysis, there is a lack of evidence from RCTs on the effect of gait analysis on health outcomes.
Evidence on specific applications of gait analysis is described below.
Pre- and/or Post-Surgical Evaluation for Children with Cerebral Palsy
A study by Wren and colleagues was identified that compared outcomes in patients managed with and without the use of gait analysis, the preferred study design; however, it was retrospective and patients were not randomized to treatment group (Wren et al., 2009). The analysis included 462 children with cerebral palsy who had undergone lower extremity orthopedic surgery at a single hospital and had at least six months' follow-up (n=313 had gait analysis prior to surgery and n=149 did not). Adjusting for baseline differences, the overall finding was that the number of procedures and costs did not differ significantly between groups. The group that received gait analysis had a mean of 2.6 procedures per person-year compared to 2.3 per person-year in the non-gait analysis group. In sub-analyses, patients in the gait analysis group had significantly more initial surgical procedures (5.8 vs. 4.2, p<0.01) than the group that did not have gait analysis. Conversely, patients in the group not managed with gait analysis had more subsequent procedures (32% vs. 11%, p<0.001). Study findings suggest that gait analysis does not significantly affect overall utilization and cost. This study, however, did not specifically evaluate health outcomes. Also, since the study was not randomized, there may have been uncontrolled baseline differences that affected the number of procedures received.
Several studies were identified in which children underwent both pre- and post-operative gait analysis. In the study by Lofterod and colleagues, 60 children were referred for gait analysis after an initial surgical plan had been developed, based on clinical observation (Lofterod et al. 2007). The original surgical plans were found to have been modified in 70% of patients following multidisciplinary team gait assessment. In a follow-up report, patients were divided into three groups: Group A—Agreement between clinical evaluation, gait analysis, and subsequent surgery; Group B—Procedures were performed due to gait analysis recommendations that had not been part of initial surgical plan; Group C—Procedures that were part of the initial surgical plan were not performed because they were not recommended after gait analysis (Lofterod et al., 2008). Based on gait analysis, surgery was not recommended in 11 children. Fifty-five children, including 47 who received surgery, underwent follow-up gait analysis 1–2 years after the initial analysis. Overall, at follow-up, there was improvement in kinematic parameters for children in Groups A and B. This suggests that the change in treatment planning due to gait analysis may have been beneficial, or at least not harmful; we do not know what the outcome would have been if the original treatment plan had been followed. Group C had fewer surgical procedures or no surgery; among children in this group, there were no statistically significant changes in any kinematic parameters at the follow-up gait analysis. Of the eight children in Group C, four children had clinical deterioration during more than two years of follow-up and were recommended to have multilevel surgery; most of their kinematic parameters were in the normal range at the time of initial evaluation. Based on this case series of patients referred for gait analysis, the authors concluded that gait analysis was useful for surgical planning.
Another study reviewed outcomes in 45 children who underwent gait analysis before and about a year after surgery that included collection of three-dimensional motion and force-plate data (Gough et al.). The study aimed to determine whether gait analysis had a positive impact on treatment plans and whether gait analysis could predict which children would benefit from surgery. Most children had about a year between gait analysis examinations. Like the Lofterod study, patients were retrospectively classified into three groups, each with 15 children. A key outcome measure was change in the Gillette Gait Index (GGI); the article states that a change of 10% in the index is clinically significant. Based on change in the GGI, among the 15 children for whom surgery was not recommended, seven children improved, four were stable, and four deteriorated. In the group that had surgery recommended, but not performed (due to family preference or other factors), six of 15 children improved, one was stable, and eight deteriorated. In the group for whom surgery was recommended and performed, 12 children improved and three remained stable. A limitation of this study is that the authors did not prospectively collect data on how treatment plans changed after the gait analysis; instead this was estimated by a multivariate analysis that found a significant association between the GGI and choice of treatment, which the authors state suggests that gait data influenced the treatment decision. Limitations of both studies are their small sample sizes and the lack of a group of children who were managed without gait analysis.
A third study was published by Cimolin and colleagues in Italy in 2011. It included 19 children with cerebral palsy scheduled for gastrocnemius fascial lengthening surgery and 20 healthy controls (for establishment of preoperative normative values). Patient evaluation included videotaping and three-dimensional gait analysis. The study used the Gait Deviation Index (GDI) to summarize data; this is a measure derived from comparing nine kinematic variables of a person's gait to those of a control group. A GDI value of approximately 100 or higher indicates an absence of gait pathology. Every decrease in 10 points below 100 indicates 1 standard deviation (SD) from normal kinematics. All participants completed the study. The mean preoperative GDI value among the 19 children with cerebral palsy was 70.4 +/- 14.8 (i.e., 3 SDs away from healthy children). After surgery, the mean GDI was 82.9 +/-7.4. The improvement in GDI was statistically significant compared to the presurgery value (p<0.05). The study did not evaluate whether there was incremental value with use of the postoperative GDI compared to postoperative observation alone.
Limitations of all three studies described above are their small sample sizes and the lack of a group of children with cerebral palsy who were managed without comprehensive gait analysis.
Pre- and/or Post-Surgical Evaluation for Other Conditions
In a study by Suda et al. (2002), gait analysis recommendations in 60 patients with neurogenic intermittent claudication were evaluated and compared to 50 healthy controls. The authors concluded that gait analysis provided useful quantitative and objective information to evaluate post-surgical treatment. However, the study does not address how the gait analysis influenced treatment decisions or affected health outcomes.
Sankar et al. received the records of 35 children (56 feet) who had recurrent deformity after treatment of idiopathic clubfoot. Gait lab recommendations were compared to surgical plans prior to gait analysis, and to actual surgery received. Thirty of 35 (86%) children underwent surgery. Gait analysis resulted in changed procedures in 19 of 30 (63%) patients. Gait analysis was found to influence clinical decisions but, like the study by Suda et al., this study does not evaluate whether these changes resulted in improved health outcomes.
Rehabilitation Planning and/or Evaluation
No relevant clinical studies were identified.
Ongoing clinical trials
Outcomes of orthopedic surgery using gait laboratory versus observational gait analysis in children with cerebral palsy (NCT00419432) (www.ClinicalTrials.gov).
This is a double-blind randomized controlled trial evaluating whether the addition of gait analysis to routine observation improves surgical outcomes in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy. Outcomes include measures of motor function and general functioning e.g., in the home and at school. The investigators intend to enroll 50 children in the study, which is being conducted at sites in the U.S. and Canada. The estimated date of study completion is October 2014.
Gait analysis is the quantitative assessment of coordinated muscle function. No randomized controlled trials have been published that compare health outcomes in patients managed with and without gait analysis. However, one nonrandomized study found that the overall number of surgical procedures and costs do not differ in patients with cerebral palsy who do or do not undergo gait analysis as part of surgical planning. Several studies conducted among patients with cerebral palsy and other conditions suggest that gait analysis recommendations impact treatment decisions, but the impact of these decisions on health outcomes is as yet unknown. Based on input from clinical reviewers, gait analysis, when comprehensive, may be medically necessary for planning prior to surgery in children with gait disorders associated with cerebral palsy. Due to insufficient evidence, gait analysis is considered investigational for all other indications.

I just want to make sure that even though I'm hundreds of miles away from my family members and friends that have passed on, I remember them and I still love them all.
I want to instill that same respect for life and death in all of my children. In this way, I'm teaching them not to be afraid of death but to anticipate the joyous reunion that awaits us when we get to Heaven and see our loved ones again.
Dear Ancestor
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone,
The name and date are chiseled out,
on polished marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care,
It is not too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist.
You died and I was born.
Our blood contracts and beats
a pulse entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor,
the place you filled one hundred years ago,
Spreads out among the ones you left,
who would have loved you so.
I wonder...if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew,
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.

A Holiday Message from Ricky Gervais: Why I'm An Atheist
By RICKY GERVAIS - THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Added: Mon, 20 Dec 2010 03:33:59 UTC
Thanks to CG for the link
Why don't you believe in God? I get that question all the time. I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and pointless. People who believe in God don't need proof of his existence, and they certainly don't want evidence to the contrary. They are happy with their belief. They even say things like "it's true to me" and "it's faith". I still give my logical answer because I feel that not being honest would be patronizing and impolite. It is ironic therefore that "I don't believe in God because there is absolutely no scientific evidence for his existence and from what I've heard the very definition is a logical impossibility in this known universe", comes across as both patronizing and impolite.
Arrogance is another accusation. Which seems particularly unfair. Science seeks the truth. And it does not discriminate. For better or worse it finds things out. Science is humble. It knows what it knows and it knows what it doesn't know. It bases its conclusions and beliefs on hard evidence -‐ evidence that is constantly updated and upgraded. It doesn't get offended when new facts come along. It embraces the body of knowledge. It doesn't hold on to medieval practices because they are tradition. If it did, you wouldn't get a shot of penicillin, you'd pop a leach down your trousers and pray. Whatever you "believe", this is not as effective as medicine. Again you can say, "It works for me", but so do placebos. My point being, I'm saying God doesn't exist. I'm not saying faith doesn't exist. I know faith exists. I see it all the time. But believing in something doesn't make it true. Hoping that something is true doesn't make it true. The existence of God is not subjective. He either exists or he doesn't. It's not a matter of opinion. You can have your own opinions. But you can't have your own facts.
Why don't I believe in God? No, no no, why do YOU believe in God? Surely the burden of proof is on the believer. You started all this. If I came up to you and said, "Why don't you believe I can fly?" You'd say, "Why would I?" I'd reply, "Because it's a matter of faith". If I then said, "Prove I can't fly. Prove I can't fly see, see, you can't prove it can you?" You'd probably either walk away, call security or throw me out of the window and shout, ''F—ing fly then you lunatic."

Cameron wants to put LL on a bicarb drip that should keep him alive long enough to be executed, and Foreman agrees. House says their job is to diagnose and cure patients, not make them better temporarily. The he totally shuts the blinds in Stacy's face, which was awesome. The Cottages stare, and House explains that "Mommy and Daddy had a little fight. It doesn't mean we've stopped loving you," which I would have loved if the Mommy was Cuddy and not Stacy. House orders an arterial blood gas and sends the kids on their way.
House looks around as he exits the meeting room, finds the hallway Stacy-free, and sneaks out in the opposite direction of his office -- only to walk smack into Stacy Stoneface. He's impressed by her ninja skills, and asks her to guess what number he's thinking of. Stacy's guess is "Are you trying to get me fired?," which is not a number. Stacy tells House that if he didn't want to work with her, he should have just said so, and not tried to get her fired. House says he doesn't mind her working in the hospital; he just doesn't want her in his office. Stacy says that since she's a lawyer and House is a jerk, "there's bound to be some overlap." "I hope that was a euphemism," House says. If he means that he's hoping she meant they'd be having sex, I have to disagree. "Cuddy just reamed me!" Stacy continues. "I hope that one means what I think it means," House says, having delightful fun at Stacy's expense, which is always the best kind of fun. Stacy keeps going, saying that Cuddy told her that one of her reasons for hiring her was to have someone in the hospital who could keep House in check. House says that the number he was thinking of was six. He was probably thinking of Cameron's mental age when he thought of it. "I need to know can I trust you?" Stacy says without pausing between that "know" and "can" like I'm pretty sure she was supposed to. If it gets her off my screen sooner, though, I'm all for it. House says that he lied to Stacy because if he hadn't, his patient would have died. "Great. Now I know," Stacy bitches.
Foreman gets ready to take some blood from LL's femoral artery, which is near his groin. LL and his fake teeth balk at this, and Foreman says that, at this point, LL's jewels are really more for decorative purposes than they are for practical use anyway. LL demands painkillers. Foreman goes to inject them, and his coat sleeve lifts to reveal a tattoo just above his wrist that we've never seen before. LL assumes that it's a gang sign, but Foreman says it's a Native American symbol that means "force of life." More like "force of lame." Also, it's a good thing Foreman wore long sleeves when he interviewed to become a Cottage. Or maybe he got this tattoo afterwards, hoping it would get him fired so that he could work for a non-racist boss. LL doesn't believe him, and asks Foreman how he went from "gangbanging" to being a doctor. Foreman loses it a little, and angrily asks how LL went from loving a woman to murdering her, and LL isn't laughing anymore. He does answer the question, however: "Bitch stepped out." Foreman glares at LL while the wheels in his head turn and he tries to think of a way to use that to get rid of Cameron. Then he stabs LL with the needle, apologizing for "accidentally" not giving him enough painkillers.

To the child who is stuck indoors at the mercy of Mother Nature, rain doesn't appear to be all that wonderful. But to the imaginative girl at the heart of this tale, it's a source of wonderment and the key to unearthing a soggy world where creatures thrive in wet weather. The delicate phrases of Yee's (Upstairs Mouse, Downstairs Mole) loose, lyric verse recall the pitter patter of raindrops ("Who likes rain?/ Not Papa's old truck./ Who likes rain?/ Quack, quack.... It's a duck!"). But as the girl soon discovers, rain can also command a more demonstrative presence ("Pitty-plip-PLOP, Pitty-pat-SPLAT!/ I can catch raindrops in my hat"). His gorgeously textured colored pencil illustrations build on this liveliness, from the drain spout gushing a torrent of water and leaves, to the girl (in her bright yellow slicker) chasing her wayward umbrella across a field. As she explores the wet world around her, readers too learn that while rain may be a deterrent for some, it serves a purpose for the quacking duck or the frog that frolics in the "muckety-muck." And when the rain finally ceases, the girl finds a way to embrace its remains. This delightful story is the perfect panacea for the rainy-day blues and, in turn, creates its own bright spot. Ages 2-6. (Apr.)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
