Participants with RA in the upper limbs received either moderate- or light-pressure massage in the affected arm and shoulder once a week for 4 weeks. They were also taught selfmassage to be done once a day. Those receiving the moderate-pressure massage showed significantly reduced pain, great grip-strength and greater range of motion than the light-pressure group.

Coming soon? Nutritional labels on alcohol drinks
McClain said the beer industry is pleased that the ruling provides "substantial flexibility" in terms of the format and placement of the disclosure on packaging.
It is unclear whether beer companies will actually use the labels, however.
Consumer advocates criticized the regulation.
"It doesn't reflect any concern about public health," said Michael Jacobson, director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. He said the rules are too close to what the alcohol companies had sought.
Consumer advocates have said that listing alcohol content should be mandatory so consumers know how much they are drinking. Jacobson and others also support having calorie counts on labels, but they said the labels should not include nutrients that make the alcohol seem more like a food.
"Including fat and carbohydrates on a label could imply that an alcoholic beverage is positively healthful, especially when the drink's alcohol content isn't prominently labeled," Jacobson said.
Current labeling law is complicated.
Wines containing 14 percent or more alcohol by volume must list alcohol content. Wines that are 7 percent to 14 percent alcohol by volume may list alcohol content or put "light" or "table" wine on the label. "Light" beers must list calorie and carbohydrate content only. Liquor must list alcohol content by volume and may also list proof, a measure of alcoholic strength.
Wine, beer and liquor manufacturers don't have to list ingredients but must list substances people might be sensitive to, such as sulfites, certain food colorings and aspartame.
Tom Hogue of the TTB said the aim of the ruling is to make sure alcohol labeling is more consistent. "The idea here is we are trying to make it easy for the industry to communicate this with consumers if they want to do so, and if their consumers want them to do it," he said.

Senator Wyden: The Fight to Defend the Fourth Amendment is Not OverWritten by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
At a press conference at the Consumer Electronics Show, Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) spoke out in defense of the Fourth Amendment and promised to continue to fight against FISA.
While Vice President Joe Biden has been conducting a week of meetings on efforts to curb gun violence that seemed to be focused on nothing but more gun control, President Obama has signed a law that ensures lifetime protection for himself and his family, as well as the safety of future presidents.
As the Obama administration plots assaults on gun rights by "executive order" and legislation, proposals described as "very extreme" even by some Democrats, state lawmakers in Wyoming have another idea. Republican legislators are rallying behind nullification legislation that would void unconstitutional infringements on the right to keep and bear arms, even providing prison time for any federal agents who may try to enforce Washington, D.C., gun control in the state. Lawmakers expect it to pass.
The new bill, H.B. 0104 or the "Firearms Protection Act," would nullify any new federal infringements on the constitutionally protected gun rights of state residents — who enjoy some of the lowest crime rates while being among the most heavily armed people in America.
As the Obama administration openly vows to use unconstitutional "executive orders" to further infringe on the right to keep and bear arms, gun rights activists, members of the law enforcement community, military personnel and others are pledging to resist. Everything from an armed uprising and nationwide civil disobedience to legal means of resistance like the courts and nullification is being openly discussed online and even in the establishment media.
The constitutional convention proposed by the Compact for America Initiative would pose an unacceptably high risk of damage to the Constitution.

ANuk from Vancouver, BC – Verified Buyer
Its solid and bigger (in a good way) than I thought it would be. Only reason its getting 4 stars and not 5 is the lines on the solid wood bits that look like planks/siding actually are just solid sheets of wood, no lines. But its a great item, I'm really pleased!

Advice Planning my first Long Distance Cruise

Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post
Rep Power:
If you are anything like me, you will love traveling south on the ICW. Everyday is different, the scenery changes constantly, and you'll always be close to "civilization" if you need it. Anchorages abound and you'll occasionally run across free dockage (Elizabeth City, Southport, Myrtle Beach). This will also be a great shakedown cruise for you and your vessel.
Like me, being a 60 year-old singlehander offers its own set of challenges. I've been singlehanding my Hunter 30 off and on for the last 7 years and two things most concern me while singlehanding.
Anchoring. I've been anchoring out almost forever and I've got a pretty good routine established. What I don't like is having to go out on deck to manually raise the anchor in rough conditions. I would love to have a windlass to help do the heavy lifting, quickly. Repeated trips to and from the cockpit to move the boat forward, is not the best situation.
Deck work. Anytime you leave the safety of the cockpit, you put yourself at risk. Whether it's falling over the side or taking a nasty fall, singlehanding requires much more concentration on your part. For this reason, when I'm alone I always wear my inflatable life jacket and clip my harness to the boat, even in the cockpit.
Another thing, assume for a minute its a nice quiet day, you've got the anchorage all to yourself, and you fall overboard. With your stern ladder tied in place and your dinghy still strapped to the deck, how do you climb back aboard? For this reason I secure my stern ladder with bungee cord so I can pull it down if necessary. The point I'm trying to make is that without a partner, you have to stay focused. As you think about scenarios like this, you will develop a series of behaviors that will help keep you safe.
Finally, crossing to the Bahamas is no big deal, provided the weather conditions are right and you invest in good charts and a gps unit. For me, this was actually my first real overnight sail out of the sight of land. As a singlehander you will give repeated thanks to your autopilot. I suggest you buy an egg timer so you can catnap for 10 minute intervals during your crossing. I was surprised by how many things there are to run into in the middle of the Gulf Stream, especially when you fall asleep.
My last advice is to take your time, wait for the right weather windows, and leave your schedule book at home.
You're going to have a blast!!
P.S. I can only hope that your Admiral enjoys the cruising life more than mine (now ex-Admiral) did. Cruising alone wears thin after a while.

Xerox Drops After Low End of 2012 Forecast Trails Estimates
Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Xerox Corp., the provider of printers and business services, declined the most in more than two years after giving earnings forecasts that trailed some analysts' estimates as Europe weakens.
The company fell 9.9 percent to $7.81 at the close in New York, for the biggest one-day slide since Sept. 28, 2009, after presenting forecasts for this quarter and the full year. It was the second-worst performer in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Europe weakened noticeably during the fourth quarter, Chief Executive Officer Ursula Burns said today. Xerox diversified into business services as slow economic growth weighs on information-technology spending. The World Bank cut its global-growth forecast this month, saying a recession in the euro region may exacerbate a slowdown in emerging markets.
The earnings forecast "is a bit softer than hoped for," Ananda Baruah, an analyst at New York-based Brean Murray Carret & Co., said in a note to clients. "We're hopeful that Xerox has injected a healthy dose of conservatism into the 2012 guidance given headwinds" from Europe and foreign exchange.
Earnings, excluding some items, will be 21 cents to 24 cents a share this quarter and $1.12 to $1.18 a share this year, Norwalk, Connecticut-based Xerox said today. Analysts predicted 24 cents for the quarter and $1.17 for the year, the average estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Services Focus
The weakness is "all over Europe," Burns said on a conference call. "Obviously southern Europe, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece etc. are worse than the rest of Europe, but we do see weakness even in the stronger countries where decisions are delayed and activity is a little bit lower."
Xerox added business-process services to its document-management and printing expertise with its 2010 acquisition of Affiliated Computer Services Inc. The purchase, Xerox's largest, gave it growing markets, including managing and automating electronic payments for governments.
The company signed $4.2 billion of new outsourcing business in the fourth quarter, up 15 percent from a year ago, Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri said on the call. Signings generally incur higher upfront costs and deliver earnings later.
The company plans to spend between $300 million and $400 million on acquisitions this year, primarily on tuck-in services businesses, Maestri said.
Stock Buybacks
Fourth-quarter net income rose to $375 million from $171 million a year earlier, Xerox said. Earnings excluding some items climbed to 33 cents a share, matching the average analyst estimate. Sales were little changed at $5.96 billion, missing the $6.07 billion estimated by analysts.
The company spent $392 million repurchasing its shares in the fourth quarter, and added $500 million to its buyback plan, boosting the authorized total to $1.3 billion, according to a filing today. Between $900 million and $1.1 billion will be spent on buybacks this year, mostly in the second half, Xerox said on the call.
Xerox will sell some shares in the first half of 2012 to make pension contributions that have required top-ups since last year because of low benchmark interest rates, Maestri said.

Is there anything I have missed? Anything you would change?
Any feedback would be very much appreciated Thanks.
@quickandeasy: you may update this thread,because is in "ThemeForest" forum instead of "Item Discussion". Anyway, is a great design!
@Ivor: About the template, where is it? I can't see it in the list of recently approved items.
Nice template and useful information for the traveler to go to somewhere in the world.Liked!!
i think you need different background and some work on typography (specially colors on heading and main content)
I think it's great. Only thing I would change is the white shadow on the black text in header, it's too strong really.
Really nice.
Maybe there could be tiny bit of polishing on some of the typography but that's nit picking. Also personally I would not have a border around all of the email update blocks, but that's just me.
Looks great
I think the typography could be improved. It does not really seperate important headlines.
And I see some inconsistent padding and margins
Thanks for the feedback guys!
@ Minimalthemes, I'm not dead cert on the colours yet either and I will be updating the background. I've kept the same pattern but reduced it's opacity and scaled it down to 50%.
@ Turkhitbox, what is inconstant padding?

Can Sony's new HX753 series continue the run of form kicked off by the outstanding HX853s?
Sony's first 'proper' 2011 TV is appealing enough as a 2D TV, but its 3D is a huge disappointment.
We take a look at the 37in version of this Freeview HD-enabled LCD television.
With its KDL-37S5500 LCD TV, Sony proves it can get down and dirty with the entry-level efforts of its rivals.

Program Management Directors in the United States tend to have a good amount of experience under their belt — approximately three-fifths have more than 10 years in the field. While pay runs from $37K to $166K per year, median earnings come to $77K per year. Overall cash earnings for Program Management Directors stretch from $37K on the lower end to $166K near the top, and the heftiest packages can encompass around $30K from bonuses and $18K from profit sharing. Career length and the particular city each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Work is enjoyable for Program Management Directors, who typically claim high levels of job satisfaction. Women account for the majority of Program Management Directors who responded to the questionnaire — 63 percent to be exact. Medical benefits are awarded to a large number, and a fair number earn dental coverage. This overview is based on answers to PayScale's salary questionnaire.

The primarily role that program management directors fill is providing leadership and oversight for the program or project managers within a company. As the programs that the managers lead have the potential for great diversity and varying scope, program management directors must be extremely flexible and adaptable with the amount of oversight and direction they provide.Read More...
The oversight portion of this position principally includes coordinating different programs and projects, as well as coordinating these efforts with other teams within the company. For example, a program management director who works for a technology company might be responsible for coordinating hardware development and software development teams to ensure compatibility of the final product, as well as overseeing the actual manufacturing process. This position is also likely to require coordination with sales and customer service teams.
Program management directors are responsible for ensuring the successful translation of projects from research and design projects to production teams. They must also be responsible for testing and final approval of any third-party technology that is required by the manufacturing process. Program management directors help coordinate the overall schedule of research, development, and release of commercial products. They are also responsible for reporting the status of various programs to upper management and interfacing with any other stakeholders, so both groups understand the design and production processes.
Most program management directors have prior experience working as a program manager, as well as at least a bachelor's degree in a related field. They must also have expertise in the particular field in which they work, so they can effectively communicate with and provide leadership for various groups. The need to work with multiple teams and report to upper management demand that program management directors have excellent communication skills.

Though not the most common occurrence, Program Management Directors sometimes become Directors of Program Management, where the average income is $139K per year. Many Program Management Directors choose to become Executive Directors and Non-Profit Executive Directors as their careers advance. However, folks in those positions report median salaries of $2K less and $16K less, respectively.
Program Management Directors report using a pretty varied skill set on the job. Most notably, facility with Customer Relationship Management, Project Management, and Program Management are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 24 percent, 15 percent, and 11 percent, respectively. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Operations Management. Most people familiar with People Management also know Project Management and Budget Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Program Management Directors, more experience generally translates to higher pay. Workers with less than five years' experience earn around $48K on average, and those who have five to 10 years under their belts see a higher median salary of $65K. Program Management Directors see a median salary of $94K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Individuals who have achieved more than 20 years of experience don't seem to earn much more than people who have 10 to 20 years under their belts; the more senior group reports an average income of $119K.
Surpassing the national average by 65 percent, Program Management Directors in San Francisco receive some of the highest pay in the country. Program Management Directors will also find cushy salaries in Seattle (+60 percent), Austin (+58 percent), Los Angeles (+51 percent), and Dallas (+42 percent). Those in the field find the lowest salaries in Boston, 15 percent below the national average. Employers in Baltimore and Chicago also lean toward paying below-median salaries (15 percent lower and 2 percent lower, respectively).

First Financial Instrument to Hedge Wind Power Variability Risk Now Available
Galileo and 3TIER Offering to Lower Cost of Development Capital
SEATTLE, Wash.—3TIER®, a global leader in renewable energy risk analysis, and Galileo, a global leader in weather risk management, announced today their collaboration in offering the first financial products designed to assist the wind power industry in hedging the financial risk of wind variability. Galileo's WindLock™ product will provide on-site settlements based on 3TIER's wind resource data, enabling wind project developers and financiers to mitigate the risk of project underperformance. The joint effort creates an entirely new global market for financial wind risk management products designed to ease financing pressure on wind projects, where the cost of financing often includes large premiums built in to cover production uncertainty.
"Wind energy is experiencing strong growth globally and the natural variability of wind has led to conservative financing and a relatively high cost of capital," said Martin Malinow, Galileo CEO. "Working together with 3TIER, Galileo can now offer developers and financiers an important tool to manage the uncertainty of wind-driven earnings which will create greater capital market access and potentially a lower cost of capital for new projects or refinancings."
Galileo uses 3TIER's wind resource time series to price and structure WindLock™ products based on expected variability with settlements based on wind speeds provided by 3TIER. Using 3TIER's weather modeling expertise in generating historical time series helps avoid errors in on-site measurements and isolates wind speed from other factors that can impact power production.
WindLock™ products are indexed to wind-driven megawatt-hours allowing for the utilization of a power curve to provide accurate mapping of wind speed to generation. Galileo offers WindLock™ globally and products can be tailored to match project financing structures with protection commencing across a wide range of estimated production.
"3TIER's long-term investment in global capabilities and datasets, combined with our reputation for providing accurate and objective resource intelligence, ideally positions us to provide the global benchmarks upon which wind resource variability risk can be assessed and mitigated," said Michael Grundmeyer, 3TIER vice president of business development. "Teaming up with a weather risk management leader like Galileo to use these benchmarks as the basis for hedging transactions represents a natural and significant step forward in the financial maturity of the global wind industry."
To learn more about this offering, please visit 3TIER's booth (#2140) at Windpower 2011, May 22-25 in Anaheim, CA.
3TIER helps the global energy market manage renewable energy risk. A pioneer in wind, solar, and hydro generation risk analysis, 3TIER uses weather science to frame the risk of weather-driven variability – anywhere on earth, across all time horizons. With offices serving North America, Europe, India, Latin America, and the Pacific Rim, 3TIER has global reach with products and services spanning renewable energy project feasibility, energy marketing, and asset management. For more information, visit www.3tier.com.
Galileo is a pioneer in the weather risk management industry, writing customized weather-driven financial protection globally to corporations and government entities seeking to mitigate their financial exposure to variations in weather conditions and related commodity prices. Galileo's WeatherLock™ products can be indexed to weather variables including temperature, rainfall, wind speed, and solar irradiance as well as commodities such as natural gas and power, and can be delivered on a global basis as either derivatives or (re)insurance. Galileo has offices in New York, London, and Bermuda. For more information, visit www.galileoweather.com.

Apparently, according to the confession of one of the four arrested, all the perpetrators were wearing masks. When asked why Yoo was indicted based on such a flimsy identification, Queens D.A. spokesperson deBourbon says she understood that the five robbers were wearing bandannas over the bottom part of their faces and that "the eyes and upper faces were visible." But it is not clear how he could identify anyone through a bandanna. "From our experience," says deBourbon, "eyewitness identifications can sometimes be mistaken." Officer Hong and Detective Sung said they were unable to comment on the case.
As far as Yoo is concerned, he thinks it wasn't simply a case of mistaken identity but of police misconduct. "The police were a real problem," he says. "When Detective Sung picked me up for questioning, I asked for my lawyer, and he just said, 'You don't need a lawyer. You're Korean, I'm Korean, let's help each other out.' When I didn't say anything, he kept slamming the table with his fist a few inches from my arm saying, 'Be a good son, don't make [your parents] waste money on bail. Just confess and you'll get six months probation. You're never going to go home or see your parents again if you don't!' "
"I can understand how this could happen," says Mrs. Yoo. "In Korea, the police get bribed and they detain people without reason. These Korean detectives are just bringing that culture over here."
In several interviews conducted by the Voice, some in this close-knit, isolated Korean community have talked about Detective Sung and Detective Jae Shim (Sung's partner), relating firsthand experiences about their aggressive policing. (Sung and Shim are the only Korean-speaking detectives in the Asian Crime Investigation Team.) Though most would not go on the record, Jeyong Jeong, former executive director of the Korean Association of New York, a community organization, confirms that they "have received a number of complaints. A few years ago, when we first started hearing about them from people in the community, we didn't believe it. But now, after receiving more complaints, there might be something to it."
In June, a group of more than 20 Korean and non-Korean church leaders in Queens formed The Committee Against Miscarriage of Justice, to address acts by these same two detectives in another case. "We are concerned about the police procedure in terms of their interrogation and identification," says Reverend N. J. L'Heureux Jr., chairman of the newly formed committee. "There seemed to be something improper about the quick arrest and incarceration of Peter Lee."
Peter Lee, a 35-year-old Korean American grocer made headlines last May when he was arrested and charged with killing two alleged loan sharks. (The Queens D.A. is not seeking the death penalty, but instead life without parole.) In the case, which attracted major headlines, the only eyewitness to the crime was a 70-year-old Korean man known as "Carpenter Park" (not his real name), who identified Peter Lee as the shooter before the grand jury and the police. Later however, Park, according to an article in the Sae Gae Times--a Korean-language daily--said he did not identify the shooter. In a translation of the audiotaped interview obtained by the Voice, when asked by Sae Gae reporter Justin Lim if he saw the face of the shooter, Park replied, "I don't know the face of the shooter." Later on in the interview, Park said: "Detectives showed me [Peter Lee's] passport and asked, "Isn't this the person?' and I said, 'I don't know.' "
The Civilian Complaint Review Board received only one complaint filed against Detective Sung and none against Detective Jae Shim, but that may be misleading, according to Mr. Jeong of the Korean Association of New York. "Korean people are afraid to complain," he notes. "They don't want to go to any authorities in matters like this."
A separate complaint filed against the same detectives with Internal Affairs led to an investigation a few years ago, but it was dropped, according to a police source in IAB, "after we discovered that the person making the complaint was forced to do so by Korean gangsters." The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, went on to defend these detectives, saying, "These guys do a lot of good community policing because they know the people in the community."
But one person in the community disagrees: "They don't know who I am," says Yoo. "They just thought the worst about me. And I had to suffer for it."

Will Smith admits that he can take divorce rumours surronding him and his wife Jada Pinkett in his stride because he's "indestructible."
Rumours of a split between the Hollywood power couple have been floating around for months, with both stars recently addressing the slurs.
Will told Access Hollywood: "It's just part of the game. I'm not going to play that part, but I can understand where somebody would have something in their heart where they have to stab somebody, they have to poke at somebody, but I'm indestructible."
"Your gonna hurt yourself stabbing at me."
Jada also weighed in on the accusations, speaking to Gala magazine: "I almost want to say that we should have been expecting it [but] Will and I know the truth. We're waiting peacefully for the storm to blow over."
"These rumours are completely untrue. I travel a lot because of my work, just like Will does... But our lifestyle hasn't changed."
Only a few days after these denials, the Smith family put on a show of unity, heading to LAX airport decked out in matching attire.
Some bonds are just too strong to break despite the "hating" rumours.

The Farewell Party
High drama and lowbrow, morbid humor get stitched together in this successful tragicomedy about terminal patients and assisted suicide. Works better than expected.

The grand Poobah writes: I have been assured by many posters on my video games blog entry that it took decades for the cinema to gain recognition as an art form. Untrue. Among the first to admire it was Leo Tolstoy, and I reprinted his late 19th-century reaction in my Book of Film. In 1908, Tolstoy and his family appeared in an early motion picture, and if you saw The Last Station (2009) you may want to compare your memories with the real thing. Here is some information about those in the film.
The Last Station (2009) Director Michael Hoffman. Cast: James McAvoy, Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer, Paul Giamatti and Kerry Condon."The Last Station" focuses on the last year of Count Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer), a full-bearded Shakespearian figure presiding over a household of intrigues. The chief schemer is Chertkov (Giamatti), his intense follower, who idealistically believes Tolstoy should leave his literary fortune to the Russian people. It's just the sort of idea that Tolstoy might seize upon in his utopian zeal. Sofya (Helen Mirren), on behalf of herself and her children, is livid." - Ebert. You can read Roger's full review HERE.

San Diego County rich with NCAA champions
Ex-Rancho Bernardo water polo star Gandy among 17 locals to win titles
And it's not just water polo. La Jolla Country Day alum Ali Hawkins was a key ingredient in North Carolina's NCAA title run in women's soccer. Bonita Vista High alum Kelly Nash won an ice hockey NCAA title at Wisconsin. Track, swimming, cross country, tennis, lacrosse – all represented as well.
And it's just not NCAA champions. For every San Diegan on the winning team, there often was another who reached the final and lost.
Joe Coulter played for Syracuse in the NCAA title game against Cornell, which got a goal from Torrey Pines alum Jake Myers. In the women's soccer final, Hawkins and UNC beat Notre Dame, which had La Costa Canyon High's Carrie Dew and Rancho Bernardo High's Kelsey Lysander.
If anyone knows San Diego County's embarrassment of sporting riches, it's Krikorian. When he was recruiting Gandy, he could see she excelled at water polo but what impressed him the most was her sheer athleticism.
"I remember making my home visit during her senior year in high school," Krikorian says. "As I was leaving, I walked across the street to my car. They were out in front of their house, and Tanya had a football in her hand. She said, 'Hey, coach,' and threw me the ball. It was a perfect spiral.
"I was thinking, 'I've got to get this kid.' "
