U.S. Paralympics and the 2014 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte
U.S. Paralympics, a division of the U.S. Olympic Committee, is dedicated to becoming the world leader in the Paralympic sports movement and promoting excellence in the lives of people with physical disabilities.
Since its formation in 2001, U.S. Paralympics has been inspiring Americans to achieve their dreams. Through education, sports programs and partnerships with community organizations, medical facilities and government agencies, U.S. Paralympics is making a difference in the lives of thousands of people with physical and visual disabilities every day.
The Warrior Games is a competition for wounded, injured and ill service members and veterans. It was created in 2010 by the USOC, in partnership with the Department of Defense and United Service Organizations (USO), to create competitive sports opportunities for injured service members and to enhance awareness about the impact and need to create sustainable physical activity programs for thousands of injured members of the Armed Forces at the community level.
This year's competition will take place in Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 28 – Oct. 3. Two hundred athletes from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Special Operations will compete against each other to vie for the Chairman's Cup, the award given to the top-performing service branch team.

It won't change the final disastrous call in the Packers/Seahawks game, but the NFL's replacement referee nightmare is over.
The league and the NFL Referees Association reached an agreement overnight to end the tense three-month lockout and send regular officials back to work for this week's scheduled games, starting with Thursday night's matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens.
The agreement comes after two full days of face-to-face talks following Monday's phone conversations in wake of the blown 'touchdown' call that resulted in the Seattle Seahawks winning a game against the Green Bay Packers –that infuriated league officials, players, and fans.
PHOTOS: Stars' Most Embarassing Moments
"We look forward to having the finest officials in sports back on the field, and I want to give a special thanks to NFL fans for their passion," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "Now it's time to put the focus back on the teams and players, where it belongs."
"The moment I heard, I dropped down on the floor and started doing pushups," quipped longtime referee Ed Hochuli, known for his bulging biceps. (Hochuli had been working to keep the officials mentally sharp during the lockout via tests and weekly conference calls.)
PHOTOS: Hot Celebs With Tattoos
"Subject to this being approved (by the full vote of union members), I'm excited to get back. We all are. It's good to enjoy your job, and we enjoy our job. It's a lot of hard work and a lot of pressure, and it takes a lot of training to do it. We're glad we're going to get a chance to get back out and go to work."
PHOTOS: Celebs Who Are Most Popular On Twitter
The deal is for eight years and runs through the 2019 season; it's the longest such contract between the NFL and the officials in league history.
Under the agreement:
— Retirement benefits will be provided for new hires, and for all officials beginning in 2017, through a defined contribution arrangement, which will have two elements: an annual league contribution made on behalf of each game official that will begin with an average of more than $18,000 per official and increase to more than $23,000 per official in 2019, and a partial match on any additional contribution that an official makes to his 401(k) account.
— Apart from their benefit package, the game officials' compensation will increase from an average of $149,000 a year in 2011 to $173,000 in 2013, rising to $205,000 by 2019.
— Beginning with the 2013 season, the NFL will have the option of hiring a number of officials on a full-time basis to work year-round, including on the field.
— The NFL will have the option to retain additional officials for training and development purposes and may assign those additional officials to work NFL games. The number of additional officials will be determined by the NFL.
The deal still must be ratified in person by the 121 members of the NFLRA. The vote will be taken Friday in Dallas, where the officials will convene to pick up their equipment and their Sunday or Monday game assignments.
Goodell lifted the lockout so the regular officials can work Thursday's game.

Nets' Lopez out 2 games with sprained right foot
More News from Associated Press
NEW YORK — Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez will miss the next two games with a mild sprain of his right foot.
The Nets said Thursday that X-rays were negative, but the injury could be a concern given Lopez's foot problems last season.
He missed 32 games after breaking that foot in the preseason, and an ankle injury after he returned aggravated the foot injury. Lopez ended up getting limited to just five games before the Nets shut him down.
He is off to a strong start this season, averaging a team-high 18.5 points and 6.8 rebounds while helping the Nets open 10-4 in their first season in Brooklyn.
Lopez will sit out games at Orlando on Friday night and Miami on Saturday.

9 Filipinos among World Economic Forum's Global Shapers
Nine Filipinos, each a leader in their respective fields—politics, environmental preservation, medicine, housing, education, social entrepreneurship, leadership development, even show biz—are proudly representing the Philippines, for the first time, at the World Economic Forum's Global Shapers Community. And none of them are a day over 30.
Philippine Funds for Little Kids founder Jay Michael Jaboneta; marine-life advocate Anna Rosario Oposa; San Vicente, Palawan, Mayor Carmela Alvarez; social entrepreneur Ponce Ernest Samaniego; Asian Institute of Management consultant Dr. Bryan Albert Lim; Mano Amiga Academy Inc. founder Eleanor Rosa Pinugu; youth leadership advocate Mildred Ople; ABS-CBN TV host Bianca Gonzalez; and Habitat for Humanity Youth Council founder and chair Alexandra Amanda Eduque make up the first Manila hub of Young Global Shapers (YGS).
The group was introduced by its founding curator and mentor Karen Davila, Jan. 13, during cocktails hosted by Fernando Zobel at the Ayala Museum, Makati.
International network
WEF's Global Shapers is an international network of individuals ages 20-30 who exhibit outstanding leadership and entrepreneurial skills. The country's core group was chosen and endorsed by Davila, a WEF Young Global Leader. (The WEF's YGL program is for leaders ages 30-40).
Out of the nine, Oposa, Alvarez and Pinugu were specially chosen to attend the WEF 2012 Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 25-29. Oposa, co-founder of the Save the Philippine Seas Movement, delivered a speech at the opening of the plenary session.
"My driving point (in my speech) is that the decisions people make in whatever they do will affect the conditions we (the youth) will live in," said Oposa, 23. "There's an intergenerational responsibility when it comes to making any decision."
Public service
San Vicente, Palawan, Mayor Carmela "Pie" Alvarez, whose age makes her an exceptional political figure, also attended the meeting in Davos. The 24-year-old gave up her "dream job," working for fashion house Chanel, to serve the country.
"It was always important to me that whatever I do after college will help and benefit the Philippines," said Alvarez. "It was my dream to work in fashion, but at the end of the day, it wasn't helping in the way that I wanted."
She ran during the 2010 elections when she was in her senior year in college, juggling an electoral campaign while finishing her degree in International Business, Public Law and Environmental Technology.
"I was flying from New York, Boston, then Manila. I did my midterms on top of the campaign," she said.
"Iba talaga ang public service (public service is very different), it has its difficulties," she added. "But when you get your message and programs across, the feeling is very rewarding."
San Vicente, which is three hours away from Puerto Princesa, has a land area of 165,000 ha and population of 30,000, "all of whom are poor," said Alvarez. "My biggest challenge is to develop programs and uplift their situation."
Education advocacy
Eleanor, or Lyn, Pinugu, the country's third representative to the Annual Meeting, created Mano Amiga Academy Inc. in Taguig, a nonprofit school that provides K-12th grade education to less fortunate kids. She also spoke in Davos about her experiences in putting up Mano Amiga.
"The reason I am advocating for education is because I was a scholar in college," she said. "I know that I'm here because of the good education I received."
Jaboneta, 30, the "hub leader," has also played a significant role in providing education to underprivileged kids, albeit in a different way. He is best known for starting the movement Philippine Funds for Little Kids, which provides yellow boats for children in small communities in Zamboanga and Masbate who have to swim everyday to get to school.
"I am here because of the kids; they are the real heroes," he said. "I always joke that I hear of kids in Manila who skip school to go swimming; but here are kids who go swimming to go to school."
As hub leader, Jaboneta is tasked to facilitate group meetings. The core group, aside from building a network with other Global Shapers abroad, are expected to initiate local projects as well.
One of their plans is to put up a mentoring program by linking with the Ayala Young Leaders Congress, and help aspiring youth leaders formulate their own projects.
"We're also thinking of bringing in mentors like Nelson Mandela, and take them around different schools here in the country," said Jaboneta.
More Global Shapers
Mildred Ople, Hagonoy Young Leaders Program (HYLEAP) program manager
"The real battle is in the countryside," says Ople, whose passion is developing community-based, volunteer-driven youth leadership programs, especially in her town, Hagonoy in Bulacan. She is also a law student at Arellano University.
Dr. Bryan Albert Lim, Asian Institute of Management Zuellig Center for Asian Business Transformation program consultant
Lim is a UP College of Medicine graduate and is a general physician in San Pablo, Laguna. His advocacy is to provide quality healthcare to the less fortunate. He is taking up his Masters in Development Economics at UP Diliman. He is also a UP Universal Health Care Study Group research associate, and one of the key forces behind the Quisumbing-Escandor Film Festival for Health.
Ponce Ernest Samaniego, Outliers Inc. CEO
"Outliers is in service of those who serve," said Samaniego. The social enterprise helps nonprofit organizations through "market-based approaches, either to increase their impact or make them more sustainable." Outliers Inc., which Samaniego co-founded in his senior year in UP Diliman, is supported by the Starbucks Foundation.
Bianca Gonzalez, ABS-CBN TV host
Aside from her ventures in show biz, Gonzalez is also a Unicef Philippines Special Advocate for Children. "Sometimes I feel, because of the industry that I'm in, that what I'm doing is so superficial compared to the others (Global Shapers)," she said. "But if I can use whatever influence I have to spread to all the young people online, in the magazines or newspapers what these amazing people do, then I will be fulfilled."
Alexandra Amanda Eduque, Habitat for Humanity Philippines Youth Council founder and chair
Eduque has been involved with Habitat for around seven years, and is one of its youth ambassadors. She hopes to come up with more programs that will "foster leadership among the youth."

Diabetes Health Center
Shocking: Electrical Charges May Relieve Leg Pain in Diabetics
"Our other research showed this was effective for low back pain," White tells WebMD from Switzerland, where he is a visiting professor in the department of anesthesia at the University of Geneva. "I think there is a potential benefit to [diabetic] patients, but I think it is part of a comprehensive treatment program. It is not a sole treatment," he says. "They need to be on an exercise program. With this, they are feeling more comfortable and less pain. I am not sure how [long] the effects last ... they will still need other analgesics, but it reduced their dependence on them."
The biggest problem in making this therapy more available is the lack of good equipment to generate the electrical charge, White says. White is working with a private firm to develop a device, which would have to be approved by the FDA. A few facilities offer the treatment today and charge $75-125 per treatment, which might be covered by insurance, White says.
However, an endocrinologist and a neurologist who reviewed the study for WebMD both say that it failed to show that the treatment was more effective than placebo.
"Neuropathy is a very bad problem, and anything that could help would be [beneficial]. But the problem is, it is a very short-term study," says George King, MD, director of research at the Joslin Diabetes Center and a professor of medicine at Harvard School of Medicine, both in Boston. "[T]hey can't really do this in a double-blinded fashion [in which the patients don't know which treatment they're receiving]. We don't really know whether this works or not. The ideal treatment is to have a therapeutic agent that prevents or slows down the underlying cause of the problem." He adds that the diabetics who tightly control their blood sugar levels can avoid the risk of neuropathy.
"I am not saying this does not work, but they have not eliminated the placebo effect," says Gary Gerard, MD, director of the Neurology Center of Ohio in Toledo and former vice chairman of the department of neurology and associate professor at the Medical College of Ohio. "The placebo effect in pain of any kind is enormous, and I would say that if they did not eliminate that, it would void the results." Gerard, who was not involved in this study, is conducting studies on medications for neuropathy.
Even if the treatment does work -- and Gerard doubts that it does -- he points out that it would be too costly and impractical, particularly given the prevalence of diabetic neuropathy. "You are talking about three treatments a week, every week -- forever," he says. "To pay for the doctors' time -- it would cost billions."
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

Blue Jackets prospect goaltender Oscar Dansk, a second-round pick (No. 31 overall) in 2012, will play the 2015-16 season in the Swedish Hockey League after struggling in his first season in North America.
Dansk will play for Rogle in Sweden's top league, according to published reports in Europe. Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen confirmed to The Dispatch today that the Jackets will assign him there in the fall.
"We wanted to make sure he gets to a place where he can play and get his career back on track," Kekalainen said. "You can't have three guys at the AHL level, and we've got Anton Forsberg and Joonas Korpisalo playing there next season.
"So, instead of (Dansk) ending up in the Coast (East Coast Hockey League), it's ...

Blue Jackets: Captain's 'C' fits Foligno
Shortly after Blue Jackets forward Nick Foligno arrived at Nationwide Arena yesterday, he was handed one of the club's jerseys — the home version, in dark blue — to wear for the upcoming news conference. Just above the Blue Jackets' crest was a single letter — a block "C" — that carries so much weight in the world of hockey.

The line of succession of Blue Jackets captains is not as awful as, say, Caligula to Nero to Commodus, but it is not sterling, either. Managerial mistakes and miscast personalities combined with abject mediocrity to make for a cast of misfit captains.

Find out how to create compelling architectural designs using the modeling tools in Autodesk Revit software. In this course, author Paul F. Aubin demonstrates the entire building information modeling (BIM) workflow, from creating the design model to publishing a completed project. The course also covers navigating the Revit interface; modeling basic building features such as walls, doors, and windows; working with sketch-based components such as roofs and stairs; annotating designs with dimensions and callouts; and plotting and exporting your drawings.
Most buildings have columns in at least some locations, whether your project has one column or hundreds, the process to add them is fairly simple. Revit includes two types of columns, it includes architectural columns and structural columns. We can find those on the Architecture tab, on the Column button, here is Structural Column button and the Architectural Column button. Typically an architectural column is used to represent either a column wrap or a rough placement column that will then later be replaced by the structural engineer.
A Structural Column is typically used to actually represent material that's really holding up the building. So let's start with the architectural columns and take a look and then we'll see how that ties in later with the structural columns. So I'm going to choose the Column Architectural command, and let's take a look at a few of the settings before we get started here. Like many other commands, that takes me to my Modify tab, Place Column. I've got some settings here on my Options Bar and I've got some additional settings here on the Properties palette, so let's take a look at a few of these.
Usually you want to start by looking at the Type Selector. So in this case, this particular template that we started our project from includes three sizes: a 24x24, 18x18, and 18x24. So I'm going to stick with the default, 24x24. There's a few other settings here, we're going to talk about Room Bounding in a much later movie, but Moves with Grids is a setting that we definitely want to make sure is selected, because that will take advantage of these column grids that we have placed in our file. Now if you watched the previous movie, we laid out all the column grids and positioned them and now we're going to take advantage of those as the locations for our columns.
Now you don't have to place your columns on grids, you can place them freestanding in space with a simple click. But if you place them at the intersection of two column grids, those will highlight and I'm going to click the Modify tool and cancel out of there, select this grid line and move it, and what you'll notice is that moves the column along with it. So I'm going to undo that with Ctrl+Z, I'm going to select these two columns and delete them, and that's the basic behavior that we're looking for.
So let me return to my Column tool, go to Column Architectural, and let me point out one last thing before we place all these columns. Here on the Options Bar we can actually control the height of these columns as we're placing them. The default is the height, but we can also do the depth in terms of a structural column, and the default behavior is to go up to Level 2. Now if you look at my Project Browser I'm working in a floor plan called Level 1, so my column is going to start at Level 1, and it's going to go up to Level 2.
But if I wanted to, I could make them go up to the Low Roof or up to the High Roof. I could even make them unconnected, which would make this setting available and I could type in a manual height for these columns, but in this case I want to make sure they're going up to Level 2, the level up above, and then let me just zoom in slightly here, and it's as simple as highlighting the intersection of the nearby column grids and clicking. Let me zoom in even closer and show you one other really nice benefit of working with architectural columns.
They will automatically sense the presence of nearby walls and merge in to the wall material. As I place these columns, you're going to see them merge in and marry with that wall material, making a very nice clean presentation to the view. So let me just continue all the way around the file here, and let me click the Modify tool to finish the command. So I now have an architectural column at each grid location, and once again those grids are controlling the position of all those columns, so later if we need to make any kind of a change we can do so with confidence knowing that all the columns are going to go along with any change we make to the grids, let me do Ctrl+Z to undo that.
Like I said, these represent the column wrap or the enclosure that's surrounding the column, but typically there's going to be some sort of structural steel or some other structural material within those columns. So if I go to the Column tool and choose the Structural Column, these are going to behave in much the same way. If we look at the choices that we have available on the Options Bar, Properties palette, and ribbon, we have a lot of similar choices. We have our dropdown here on the Type Selector which gives me two different size columns, I can create a W10x33 or a W10x49.
We could certainly create other sizes if we wanted to, we would have to load in a different family to do that, I'm going to talk about loading families in a later movie, so for now we're just to work with the two sizes that are here by default. The Structural Material is listed here and there is some connection information, and so forth. So slightly different settings, I have a little bit more to do with structural usage, but otherwise similar behaviors. We have the Height parameter here, where we're designating the height and up to Level 2, just like we saw with the architectural columns.
Now what I want to point out here, the one really unique feature of structural columns that's really handy is, the multiple Placement options here on the ribbon. We can either place structural columns at the location of the architectural columns or we can place them at the intersections of the grids. Now in this case, we get almost the same result in both cases, I want to use the At Columns feature in this case, I'm going to click that. I can make a Window Selection around my entire plan, and before I let go, notice that it's only highlighting architectural columns, so this feature is built-in to only sense where the location of the architectural columns are, and when I finish that selection, you will see a piece of steel ghosted in at each of those locations.
If I'm satisfied with that selection I can use this green Finish check box right here, click that, and finish the selection, and place the remaining columns. Now if I prefer, I can use this At Grids feature and the way this works is, when you select grid lines it finds the intersections between those grid lines and will place columns at each of those intersections, and again if I click Finish I will get a column in each of those locations.
Now I'm going to cancel out of the command, and I'll show you one last thing here. If I select the structural columns, they have direction, if we zoom in a little bit, because of the eye shape they can either go vertically or horizontally, we didn't really have to worry about that with the architectural columns because they were square. You can quickly rotate the columns along their own center point simply by tapping the spacebar, so if I tap the spacebar on my keyboard you're going to see those columns rotate in 90 degree increments.
So that's a really handy way to control the orientation of those columns. In this movie we looked at both architectural and structural columns. Typically the structural columns are going to be used for the actual structural material, what's physically holding up the building. The presence of architectural columns is optional, it can be used as column wrap enclosures or they can actually be used as temporary stand-in locations for the columns that are later replaced by your structural engineer. The exact workflow is a matter for the team to decide but both columns share the behavior that they are attached to the column grid and if the column grid lines move it takes the columns along with it.

Citing sources, Newsweek reported Rove's defense lawyer Robert Luskin presented special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald with evidence last week that gave the prosecutor "pause."
Luskin reportedly showed Fitzgerald an e-mail Rove sent to former press aide Adam Levine on July 11, 2003, saying Levine could come to his office to discuss a personnel matter.
The e-mail was sent just minutes after Rove had finished discussing White House critic Joe Wilson's wife's work for the CIA with Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper -- the same conversation that Rove originally failed to disclose to the grand jury.
Levine told the FBI last week that Rove never said anything about Cooper. Newsweek said Levine's account helped support Luskin's argument that Rove dealt with a wide range of matters and might not remember every conversation he has had with journalists.
Newsweek said Rove remains in some jeopardy, but the consensus view of lawyers close to the case is that he has probably dodged the bullet.

Seven principles for using digital channels to drive engagement.
I am speaking at SES New York on how to use digital channels to drive over 51 percent engagement. My presentation is a compilation of best practices that have helped me create interactive conversations with the consumers that I serve. Here are seven of 17 key principles to think about.
1. Intrigue versus incentive. If you offer an incentive to get people to sign up for your email list or give them an incentive to "like" or "follow" on a social network, their attention seems to wane away after the incentive has gone. Instead, think about using intrigue - ask them a question that will make them want to know the answer. Follow up by asking more questions to get to know them better and use this information to create segments. Also, smaller incentives tend to increase loyalty more so than a one-time larger incentive.
2. Create expectation and build anticipation. Show your consumer what they will be getting by signing up for your digital program. Tell them about the type of content they are going to receive via digital and the value of that content. Use your channels to show the excitement and build up anticipation - this way the consumer looks forward to interacting with your brand.
3. So they told you (but is that what they did?). Your consumer listed a few of their preferences; they told you what they liked and what they didn't like. You need to observe their preferences to see if they hold true. Use this interaction history to confirm what they originally told you and build up a rich repository of preferences that can be leveraged for future dialogue.
4. Take a look at your content. Your consumer can be engaged by multiple media options. You have to make your content interesting and enjoyable - integrate words, pictures, and even video to tell a compelling story. Take as much time to think about the picture you want to use, as it helps you to tell the story and "makes" your message more enjoyable. Video is very powerful if it is done well.
5. How are you going to grab the consumer's attention? Once you have written your multi-media message, think about the headlines that will help you grab the consumer's attention. You may come up with two to three headlines that can be used via email, Twitter, and Facebook. You can incorporate more headlines by taking parts of your main email messaging and promoting them on social networks.
6. Recycle good content. Alternatively, you can take the most popular articles from your social sites and share them with your email list. You can measure the popularity of the article with a combined score of total comments, shares, and views. A simple, "Our most popular articles…" goes a long way in getting consumers to pay attention.
7. Build your insiders club. The best way to get consumers to pay attention to your brand is to utilize your brand ambassadors. Find consumers who like your brand and are willing to spread the word on your behalf. Leverage testimonials by asking often and for specifics.
Good luck with driving up your engagement, and I look forward to connecting at SES.

I have the arduous task of looking at hundreds of NFL cheerleader photos each week (rough, I know) because you can't really talk about the NFL without pictures of cheerleaders. During the seven weeks so far, and during the preseason, every time I've looked through the Houston Texans pics, one woman has always seemed to be featured the most. Now this is far from scientific, but after going through them again, I'm almost positive she's the most photographed one of the bunch.
Thanks to the Houston Texans website's cheerleader section, I was able to find out that this hottie's name is Morgan, and she also goes by Moe. Moe is 25 and her hometown is Austin. The website's not big on details, which is pretty understandable if you really think about it.
This is Morgan's 3rd year on the squad, and some of these photos go back over the previous two seasons as well as this one. In fact, that lead photo was one I used last week. It's easy to see why she gets her picture taken so much. She obviously loves being out there, and she does that thing where she flips her tongue up to her top teeth, which I've been told might drive some men a little crazy.
The Texans are on a bye this week, so we'll have to wait for some new pics, but here's plenty to bide the time.

Victims Evaluated; Physicians Trained to Identify Abuse
NEW YORK, April 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Montefiore Medical Center has launched a clinical, educational and research initiative to tackle the growing problem of elder abuse and neglect with the support of a one-year, $150,000 grant from the Caring Commission of UJA-Federation of New York, with the potential for an additional $300,000 over the next two years.
"There are about 140,000 elderly in the Bronx and many of them are vulnerable to elder abuse and neglect due to social isolation, cognitive impairment and/or physical frailty," says Laurie Jacobs, MD, chief of Geriatric Medicine at Montefiore. "Our goals are to provide better care for the victims of abuse, to train our physicians and care givers to identify abuse and to track the frequency and types of elder abuse for policy purposes."
Geriatric Consultation Team
The grant-supported initiative was recently launched when Montefiore established a special consultative team to help physicians and other clinicians evaluate suspected older adult victims of abuse and to help link them to community-based services for social and legal assistance. The team, under the direction of Karin Ouchida, MD, a geriatrician, has been called in on a referral basis for over a dozen cases at Montefiore's inpatient and outpatient facilities, and for patients in the community.
"Victims of elder abuse and neglect are often isolated, and physicians are among the only people they may trust or confide in," says Dr. Ouchida. "Most physicians have not been trained to identify elder abuse and neglect, and need to acquire the skills to elicit relevant information not only about their patients' physical condition, but also about attendant quality of life issues."

To address this educational gap among physicians, the initiative

Hubble Focuses on Coma Cluster of Galaxies
June 10, 2008
The Coma Cluster of galaxies is one of the densest collections of galaxies in the universe. The Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys viewed a large portion of the cluster, spanning several million light-years across. This cluster contains thousands of galaxies and lies near the Milky Way's north pole, about 300 million light-years away from Earth. The movie begins with a ground-based image from Akira Fujii, transitions to imaging from the Digitized Sky Survey, and ends with a closer look provided in Hubble's mosaic of the Coma Cluster.

Former Adelaide United midfielder Jonas Salley is enjoying his time in China with Shaanxi Chanba and even more so after a solid 1-0 victory against Beijing Guoan on the weekend.
The Ivorian-born Australian citizen commented on how the fans at Shaanxi's Coca-Cola Stadium help get them up in close matches.
"It was a great feeling for my teammates and I (beating Beijing), playing and winning in front of them (fans)," Salley told tribalfootball.com.
"The noise they make from the first to the last minute of the game is such a big boost for us."
Salley said he is enjoying his role, a very similar one to what he has always played.
"(I am playing) the same role as usual (defensive midfield). I had clear instructions from the coach about their number 10 (Honduran Emil Martinez), because he was the most dangerous guy on the pitch during their Champions League match."
After a good win over a highly rated Beijing side, Shaanxi remained in touch with the top half of the table and Salley believes the team can climb further this season.
"We still believe that we can reach our goals which are to be on top or make the top four but we still have a long way to go, we have 24 games left," he added.
A major issue when players join foreign clubs is the divide of both language and culture but Salley said he is slowly adapting.
"The culture I don't find too different but the language is where the problem is because we don't speak the same language," he said.
"So it is frustrating because we don't understand each other but I am learning the basic words so I can communicate with my teammates."

James Cameron has agreed to make "Avatar 2 & 3" as his next films, Access Hollywood has learned.
The Award-winning director will begin working on the sequels' scripts early next year, with a goal of beginning production towards the end of 2011.
Though James first spoke of possible sequels to the LA Times in April (saying that a planned follow-up to the blockbuster film would head for the fictional planet's oceans), the news is now official.
"It is a rare and remarkable opportunity when a filmmaker gets to build a fantasy world, and watch it grow, with the resources and partnership of a global media company," James said in a statement to Access Hollywood. "'Avatar' was conceived as an epic work of fantasy – a world that audiences could visit, across all media platforms, and this moment marks the launch of the next phase of that world. With two new films on the drawing boards, my company and I are embarking on an epic journey with our partners at Twentieth Century Fox. Our goal is to meet and exceed the global audience's expectations for the richness of 'Avatar's' visual world and the power of the storytelling.
"In the second and third films, which will be self contained stories that also fulfill a greater story arc, we will not back off the throttle of 'Avatar's' visual and emotional horsepower, and will continue to explore its themes and characters, which touched the hearts of audiences in all cultures around the world," James continued. "I'm looking forward to returning to Pandora, a world where our imaginations can run wild."
James has yet to decide if he will shoot the films back-to-back after the scripts are completed, but release of the second and third films are tentatively scheduled for December 2014 and December 2015, respectively, and will be produced by James Cameron and Jon Landau for James' Lightstorm Entertainment.
"Avatar" is the highest grossing film of all time, taking in nearly $2.8 billion in worldwide box office. It is also the top-selling Blu-ray disc of all time. The film won Golden Globe awards for Best Motion Picture and Best Director; and was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and won Oscars for art direction, visual effects and cinematography.

Originally written on Project Spurs | Last updated 11/6/14
Everyone has their opinions on David Stern fining the San Antonio Spurs for sending home their stars, even one of their stars. Manu Ginobili typed up a great story on explaining on CanchaLlena.com how cautious Gregg Popovich has been with him and the team and that he's done this very action before with no consequences. Manu went to state that Pop had asked him if he wanted to sit during the trip against Washington but Manu wanted to try to play against Washington to seal a win with the rest of the superstars on the floor and rest when the other stars were going to rest. Ginobili knows his limitations also, stating that he's 35 and his teammate Tim Duncan is 36 years old so they have to get the rest they can afford as a team. He also gives us an in depth description of his previous injury, which rightfully worried his coach during this mini travel tour. He didn't have balance or have confidence in his play up until playing the Nuggets two weeks ago. Manu doesn't seem upset, but more disappointed at how the NBA is treating the Spurs with this schedule and action. He also wrote that the Spurs have been plagued by injuries so far, especially in the small forward position with Kawhi Leonard and Stephen Jackson. You can bet the Spurs will still be cautious, even if the NBA doesn't agree with it.

11. The electrical cable of
This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/573,490, entitled INDICIA-CODED ELECTRICAL CABLE, filed May 16, 2000 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,825,418.
This invention relates to indicia-marked electrical cable.
As shown in
The installer knows which connections to make at each end of the cable because the wire insulations are color-coded. For example, a ground wire may have one color, and wires carrying different phases of AC power could have other colors. The insulation colors are often dictated by industry practice. A cable used for a particular purpose, such as to wire three-phase 277-volt power, typically has several (e.g., four) internal wires and a particular combination of color-coded insulations on the wires. The insulation colors may comply, for example, with the B-O-Y (brown, orange, yellow) convention, in which brown, brown and orange, or brown, orange and yellow, are used depending on the number of internal wires that need to be marked in the cable. In addition, common and ground wires in the cable may have gray and green insulations. The installer (or someone who maintains the cable after installation) can easily identify the purpose of a given cable (e.g., that it is a 277-volt cable) by the predefined combination of insulation colors that are associated with that purpose.
As shown in
The sheath of a cable can be marked to indicate the function of the cable as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,350,885, incorporated by reference. The markings can include color-coded coatings and patterns.
In general, in one aspect the invention features an electrical cable including a sheath that envelops at least two internal conductors, and an indicia visible on the sheath and representative of the internal conductor.
One of the advantages of the invention is that someone who is familiar with the combination of indicia used on the conductors to imply a particular function for the cable can identify the function by looking only at the sheath.
Implementations of the invention may include one or more of the following features. Conductor indicia may be visible on the internal conductors. There may be at least two different conductor indicia that are visible on the internal conductors, and at least two different sheath indicia that are visible on the sheath, the sheath indicia being representative of the combination of internal conductors. The sheath indicia may be indicative of the conductor indicia on the conductors. The internal conductors may include electrical wires. The conductor indicia may include the colors of insulation on the conductors. The conductor indicia may be visible at multiple locations along the length of the conductors. The indicia may be visible at multiple locations along the length of the sheath. The sheath indicia may be the same as least one of the conductor indicia. The sheath may include a helically wound metal strip bearing the sheath indicia. The sheath indicia may include a stripe of ink around the circumference of the sheath. The indicia may be representative of a function of the cable. There may be electrical connections between ends of the conductors and terminals or other conductors, junction boxes may contain the electrical connections, and the conductor indicia may be hidden by the sheath and the junction boxes.
In general, in another aspect, the invention features a method of forming a cable by applying a sheath indicia along the length of a surface of a strip of material, wrapping the strip of material to form the sheath, and using the sheath to envelop internal conductors on which conductor indicia are visible, the sheath indicia being representative of the internal conductors.
In general, in another aspect, the invention features an electrical cable including a sheath that envelops an internal conductor, and an indicia visible on the sheath and symbolizing a gauge of the internal conductor.
Other advantages and features will become apparent from the following description and from the claims.
In an example implementation of the invention shown in
As shown in
A person who installs or maintains the cable can quickly and intuitively recognize the colors of the stripes 42 and 44 as the ones used for the two insulations in the particular type of cable, even though he may not be able to see the insulation on the internal wires. He can also recognize the cable as being of type MC or AC based on the color of stripe 46. Knowing the type or function of a given cable without seeing the insulations on the internal wires can save time and reduce hazards.
The sequence of three stripes is repeated all along the length of the cable, with each of the two stripes 42, 44 in each set being relatively shorter, for example two inches each, and the stripe 46 being relatively longer, e.g., twenty inches.
As shown in
In the case of a single coating machine that applies the ink "on-the-fly" to the steel strip just before it enters the forming (convoluting) machine, the coating machine must be able to switch coating colors quickly and to apply and cure the ink in a short time between when the strip arrives at the coating machine and when it is delivered into the forming machine.
One way to achieve the color switching is to provide reservoirs of liquid ink 68, 70, 72 from which ink can be withdrawn to the coating station 69, and a delivery mechanism 71 that allows rapid switching among the different ink reservoirs 68, 70, 72. The delivery mechanism includes pumping equipment and valving that is controlled by an electronic controller 73 to accomplish the switching in accordance with a predetermined sequence of colors to be applied.
In addition, the composition and characteristics of the ink and the manner in which the ink is maintained in the machine should be arranged so that the cured ink imparts an easily visible marking to the sheath of the cable. The solids in the ink can be made to remain evenly suspended in the liquid carrier until the ink is applied to the sheath, by continuous mixing.
A variety of inks can be used. The inks could be water-based, acetone-based, or uv-cured. Epoxy coatings, powder coatings, paints, tapes, or films could also be used. An example is a water-based ink comprising a mixture of water, polymers, pigments, 2-butoxyethanol (<0.003), 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (2.5), 2-butanone (<0.5), and N,N-diethylethanamine (<0.5) and available from Performance Coatings Corporation of Levittown, Pa. (The numbers in parentheses represent percentages by weight.)
Other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims.
Although the colors of the markings on the sheath may be identical to the colors on the insulations of the corresponding internal wires, the colors may also differ, for example, by any one or a combination of measures of color, such as hue, saturation, luminance, or intensity. It is useful to choose the combination of sheath colors so that they may be recognized intuitively by a person who is familiar with the color combination of the internal wires that are associated with a particular type of cable. The sheath colors could be different from but indicative of the internal colors. For example, if the internal colors are pink, plum, and brown, the external colors could be red, purple, and black.
As in the example given above, it may not be necessary to include all of the internal colors on the sheath because a subset of the colors may suffice to indicate the type of cable. For example, if the internal colors are red, white, green, brown, and black, it may be sufficient to show red, white, and brown on the sheath. On the other hand, all of the colors of the internal colors may be shown on the sheath. In the case when fewer than all of the colors are shown on the sheath, the ones that are not shown can be ones that identify internal wires in a way that is not unique to the type of cable being marked. For example, cables commonly use internal wire insulation that is gray, green, or white to indicate common conductors or equipment grounds. Those colors might not be included in the colors on the sheath because they do not convey as much information to the observer as the other internal wire insulation colors do.
The patterns in which the internal wire insulation colors are marked on the sheath need not be circumferential stripes of equal length along the sheath. The stripes could be of different lengths for different colors and the boundaries of the stripes could be at different angles to the length of the cable rather than perpendicular as in
Rather than being circumferential stripes that intersect the longitudinal axis of the cable, the colors could be provided continuously along the length of the cable, for example as continuous longitudinal stripes. The longitudinal stripes could be repeated around the circumference of the cable so that the orientation of the installed cable about its longitudinal axis would not affect an observer's ability to see the combination of colors. Longitudinal stripes would not have to be continuous but could be interrupted periodically along the length of the cable. The longitudinal stripes could be coated on the sheath after the strip has been convoluted. A wide variety of patterns other than stripes could also be used, for example, spots or symbols.
The sections of cable that are not marked to indicate the colors of the internal wires could be left plain, for example, the plain steel of a typical helically wound armored cable. Or those sections could be colored in a manner that did not relate directly to the colors on any of the internal wires, as in
The combination of markings need not all be colors nor need any of them be colors. One or more of the markings could be in the form of patterns of a single color, or markings other than colors, for example, embossing or engraving on the sheath. Such patterns may be more durable and easier and cheaper to apply than colors.
Instead of colors, the internal wires could be identified by patterns or other markings and those patterns or markings could be indicated or implied by the sheath markings.
The sheath need not be helically wound, but could be any other kind of metal sheath, such as round or box conduit, solid flexible sheathing that has been formed with helical or other bendable features, or other continuous sheathing.
The sheath need not be metal but could be other materials such as plastic or cloth.
The cable could be designed for purposes other than power distribution.
The cable could be marked in a variety of ways other than coating with ink. For example, the markings could be painted, silk-screened, sprayed, enameled, printed, embossed, anodized, engraved, or cut, or applied using powdered metals. The markings need not be applied to the strip prior to helical winding but could be applied to the sheathing or the material from which the sheathing is made either before the sheathing is formed, before the internal wires are encased in the sheathing, or after they have been encased.
If the strip is coated prior to convolution, the coating need not be done in-line as described above but could be done off-line and then reloaded onto a take-up reel for later use.
When the marking is done by coating ink stripes along the length of a metal strip, the stripes need not be the full width of the strip. The stripe could be narrow and positioned at any place across the width of the strip. It is useful to position the stripe in the middle of the strip so that when the strip is convoluted the coloring appears on the ridges of the sheath rather than on the troughs. It is also useful to make the stripes narrower than the whole width of the strip so that the continuity of the ground formed by the successful convolutions along the length of the finished sheath are not interrupted by the ink at the edges of the strip. Or conductive ink can be used if the stripe is to span the whole width of the strip.
When different types of cable are to bear combinations of markings, the markings on respective cables may bear a relationship to one another to indicate common features of the cables as by using blue to indicate MC cables. Or, by way of another example, various 120-volt power cables could all bear purple stripes in addition to any stripes needed to represent the colors on the internal wires.
Other features of the internal wires can be represented by the markings on the sheath, for example the gauge of the wires, the type of insulation and the type of wires. 12-gauge wire covered with brown insulation, for example, could be indicated by printing a repeated series of brown numbers 12 along the strip instead of a continuous stripe, or by adding an additional colored stripe (e.g., white) around the circumference of the sheath.
In a specific example, a high voltage 12-gauge four-wire MC cable in which two of the wire insulations are brown and orange could be marked by a repeated set of stripes in which one stripe is formed of brown 12 s, one stripe is formed of orange 12 s, and one longer stripe is a continuous blue.

SLIDELL, La. - The parking lot on the corner of Front Street and Gause went into high alert Tuesday afternoon, after a woman, who noticed a baby locked in a hot car, ran into a store to call 911.
'We went and looked in the car and the baby was still screaming at the time,' said store employee Catheryn Naquin.
As the temperatures outside reached into the 90s, the effort to get the baby from inside temperatures, estimated around 130 degrees, was frantic, especially when the 5-week-old boy stopped crying.
'The baby was non-responsive, we were banging on the window and everything,' said Naquin, 'The guy was trying to get his hand in and then the police officer finally showed up.'
The baby was rescued, and is okay, but his mother, who claims she forgot the child, was arrested for cruelty to a juvenile. The incident was actually the third in a week across the area.
A couple in Livingston Parish was arrested Friday night for leaving a six-month-old in a car. Then a mother was arrested in Houma Monday for leaving her 21-month old in a running car, which turned off after ten minutes.
Authorities say it is never okay to leave a child in a car.
'Hopefully we'll send a message out that we're not going to put up with this type of crime,' said Slidell Police Chief Randy Smith, 'It's not fair to an animal, much less a child.
This child almost died and we're fortunate that we got there, we had the alert citizen that contacted us and we were able to save a life.'
Those who assisted hope it saves even more lives in the future.
'Seeing that freaks me out, and I hope it freaks everybody else out to know there was a 5-week-old baby that's innocent and that shouldn't happen ever again,' said Naquin.
Slidell Police also rescued a puppy from a hot car over the weekend. The owners, from Mississippi, were arrested for simple cruelty to an animal.
