Thrustmaster's Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-On
Article Summary
When you're playing your favorite car-racing game, are you having trouble getting yourself to believe that you're really behind the wheel of a state-of-the-art race car? Well, perhaps it's because of the actual wheel that you're using ... it could also have something to do with the fact that you're sitting on a couch with a bowl of chips, but we'll leave that one for now. Anyhow, gaming gear company Thrustmaster has just unveiled its new Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-On, which is a full-size replica of the 150° Italia racing wheel used by real Formula 1 drivers.

Publishers Weekly
This lighthearted early chapter book, which launches the Horse Crazy series, is set in Lester's (Are We There Yet?) and Harvey's (In the City: Our Scrapbook of Souvenirs) native Australia. Horse-loving best friends Bonnie and Sam detect a change in Drover, the mare that Sam's father rides on his police rounds. Longing to run free, Drover, it turns out, has swapped places with an identical brumby (wild horse) that prefers the safety of the paddock ("Both horses saw the life they wanted, with only the fence in their way"). After the girls secretly break in the "new Drover" to prepare her for her job, the horse takes some humorous missteps-following a baker into his shop-before finally getting a chance to save the day. Harvey's ink and watercolor pictures cheerily depict life in the bush and capture the personalities of the heroines and their equine friends. Off to a snappy start, the series continues with The Circus Horse, also out. Ages 5-8. (Mar.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Liverpool agree deal for Roma's Aquilani
Liverpool are poised to complete a deal to bring Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani to Anfield.
The deal is thought to be worth £18million and the 26 year old will become a Reds player, subject to a medical, tomorrow.
A statement on the club's official website said, "Liverpool concluded their discussions with Roma once the sale of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid was finally agreed."
Reds boss Rafa Benitez is delighted with the Italian's capture.
He said, "Alberto is a very good player and I'm delighted we've reached agreement with Roma for his transfer. He will travel to Merseyside later this week for a medical. Alberto has a winning mentality and great experience in both Serie A and the Champions League.
"He has long been recognised as a top class talent in Italy, captaining his country at both Under 19 and Under 21 levels before establishing himself in the senior national side."

ANAHEIM -- There won't be a change in goal for the Ducks on Wednesday night and that's exactly why their morning skate at Honda Center suddenly became a hot topic.
Frederik Andersen left the ice first instead of Jonas Hiller, which indicated that Andersen is getting his third consecutive start for the Ducks as they host Edmonton. It is just the second time that Andersen has made three straight starts this season.
Is there a goaltending controversy or even an outright change from Hiller to Andersen in the works? Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau has been steadfast in calling Hiller his No. 1 goalie but said this move is more about giving his veteran a mental break.
Hiller hasn't been in the net since Friday in Edmonton where he gave up four goals on 23 shots, including Andrew Ference's quick slap shot from near the right circle that found its way through Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf and the goalie.
"I was thinking that Hilly was a little mentally tired coming back from the Olympics," Boudreau said. "I thought a good little rest of two or three games or even four might be apropos for him to get his game back where it should be."
Boudreau said he told Hiller on Tuesday his decision to go with Andersen for another game. The decision, he said, is more about Hiller's cumulative work since coming back from Sochi and not the game in Edmonton where the Ducks lost, 4-3, despite putting 51 shots on goal.
Hiller pitched an 18-save shutout against St. Louis in his first post-Olympics start but has just an .889 save percentage, 3.11 goals-against average and 3-2-3 record in eight outings since.
After grudgingly accepting Boudreau's reasoning, Hiller acknowledged that his focus could be better. His status as potential unrestricted free agent and his foggy future with the Ducks could be contributing factors.
"It's been a long season," said Hiller, who earlier won 14 in a row and is 29-11-7 overall. "And kind of coming back from the Olympics and everything, it's not easy. I know what I'm up to and what's at stake for me in the future and whatever.
"Sometimes, it's tough to always get that stuff out of your head and really focus on just playing hockey. To get a little rest and kind of see everything from a distance definitely helps you refocus and really get into it again."
Said Boudreau: "If you're not playing, you're always disappointed. ... I wouldn't expect him to being doing cartwheels."
Andersen is coming off wins over Vancouver and Winnipeg. He was sharper Saturday against the Canucks in stopping 31 or 32 shots but Boudreau praised his ability to come up with big saves Monday even though he allowed four goals in the first 31 minutes to the Jets.
Just one other time has Andersen had a similar run in net. He won two of three starts from Nov. 8-12, beating Buffalo and Vancouver and losing to Florida before being sent back to the minor leagues when Viktor Fasth recovered from a lower-body injury.
"And we want to see how that works out too," Boudreau said. "Anybody can do great things once in an while. But it's over time proves how good you can be."

Census: 131,729 gay couples report they're married
WASHINGTON Increasingly visible, the number of gay Americans telling the U.S. census they're living with same-sex partners nearly doubled in the past decade, to about 650,000 couples. And more than 130,000 recorded partners as husband or wife.
Census figures released Tuesday provide a rare snapshot of married and unmarried same-sex couples in the U.S. based on the government count conducted last year, when gay marriage was legal in five states and the District of Columbia. It comes at a time when public opposition to gay marriage is easing and advocacy groups are seeking a state-by-state push for broader legal rights.
Some 131,729 same-sex couples checked "husband" or "wife" boxes on their decennial census forms, the first time people could do so, after gay marriage became legal in Massachusetts starting in 2004.
That 2010 tally of married gay couples is higher than the actual number of legal marriages, civil unions and domestic partnerships in the U.S. Even after New York legalized gay marriage in June, a Census Bureau consultant, Gary Gates of UCLA, put the actual number of legally recognized gay partnerships at 100,000.
"There's no dispute the same-sex population increases from 2000 and 2010," said Martin O'Connell, chief of the fertility and family statistics branch at the Census Bureau. In cases of couples who reported they were living in a marriage relationship, "they basically responded that way because that is truly how they felt they were living."
The total of 646,464 gay couples in the U.S. was a downward revision of the Census Bureau's count of 901,997 released last month. The bureau said Tuesday it had to make the adjustment after determining that coding errors resulted in an exaggerated count for the initial number.
Still, researchers believe the new estimate could be as much as 15 percent lower than the actual number of gay couples in the U.S. because of social stigma, discrimination or other concerns about confidentiality. In a small number of cases, younger gay couples also may not have been counted in the census if they were "doubling up" in a home where neither was the head of household.
Based on revisions made to the 2000 census figure as well, the number of same-sex couples nationwide rose 80 percent from an adjusted 2000 figure of 358,390. Previously, the Census Bureau had reported there were 594,391 same-sex couples in the U.S. in 2000.
Nationwide, about 51 percent of the couples last year were female. Nearly one in five of the same-sex couples was raising children at home - widely distributed among those who reported being in marriage relationships and those who were not.
Broken down by state, the highest rates of increase in gay couples - both married and unmarried - were in lesser-populated states such as West Virginia, Montana, the Dakotas, Oklahoma and Kentucky, each rising at least 150 percent from 2000. In contrast, the larger, more traditional gay places including the District of Columbia, California and New York, posted the smallest percentage increases - 60 percent or less.

An education program director is responsible for regularly overseeing one or more school programs and coordinating all faculty, students, organizations, and materials needed for the success of the program or programs. The basic background most desirable for an education program director job is threefold: experience in teaching in any type of classroom, superior organizational skills, and a basic knowledge of marketing, fundraising, networking and event planning.Read More...
Because of the vast array of tasks and duties involved in this job, being able to create relationships with people in many different fields is a huge benefit. Also important is having a wide variety of connections with other professionals. With all of the different people and personalities a program director must work with on a daily basis, it goes without saying that a friendly and sociable personality is a necessity in this field. Organizing and directing a large number of people and groups to come together to put together a program or event requires patience, as well as excellent problemsolving and stress-management skills.
Some of the basic tasks involved in an educational program director's job are fundraising, evaluating content quality of all written directives, creating curriculum, recruiting, directing, and assigning tasks and roles to volunteers and staff, developing programs, scheduling, doing community outreach, acting as a liaison between the school and all outside resources, and managing money to make sure all funds are accounted for and used efficiently.

Education Program Management Directors do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Individuals who have worked for fewer than five years bring in approximately $48K on average. Those in the five-to-10 year range can expect an average that is only a touch bigger at $52K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $58K in this role. Old hands boasting more than twenty years of relevant experience report pay that is more or less commensurate with that extensive experience; average earnings for this group come out to approximately $67K.

text: Here's your Brazilian cultural lesson for today: If you call someone a 'Mamma's Boy', you better back it up by dancing around for the next ten minutes. That's the only way your insult can fully be realized. In Brazil, all personal and family insults are accompanied with a dance number. That's how Carnival gets started every year -- two dudes slinging 'Yo Mamma' jokes until eventually an entire parade barrels through the town complete with chicks rocking peacock feathers and large golden hats. All of that is derived from a Demian Maia joke that I didn't explain in the beginning of the paragraph. I tried to fool your cognition with an incomplete thought, and it worked.

On different state models being debated around during elections, former RSS ideologue K N Govindacharya has said that while dialogue on development was good, but they will remain incomplete if issues like law and order and environmental condition were not made a part of it.
Talks of a Gujarat, Bihar or a Tamil Nadu development model during the Lok Sabha elections is good but this dialogue on growth will remain incomplete if social indicators like law and order and environmental conditions were not incorporated into it, Govindacharya told PTI.
Terming both Gujarat and Tamil Nadu as as rich coastal regions of the country, Govindacharya said that coastal regions benefit more out of economic liberalisation than internal ones.
Issues like land, water, livestock, biodiversity and blind exploitation of mineral resources should also be thought into, Govindacharya, chairman of the Save Democracy Front said.
Emphasising on cultural values and traditions, he also demanded that a separate ministry should be made for 'govikas'.
Agriculture and cows are complementary to each other and 'govigyan' (cow science) should be made a part of the education curriculum and 'kamdhenu universities' should be opened in all states, he said.

Atlantic City is a fun place.
Atlantic City is a fun place.
Ever wonder what's going on inside your body after a couple beers.
Any sucker can pound tea vodka, ice-cold Fireball shots, or shot-gun Bud Lights.
After college, you're thrust into the real world and you become aware that the people in this world think binge drinking after college actually = alcoholism and a potential sign that one doesn't have one's shit together.
Since today is a day that ends in "y" we figure you're probably readying yourself to get drunk, if you already aren't.
Hate that feeling you get in the morning after a long night of drinking.
By now the east coast is sick of hearing about this little slut they're calling Hurricane Sandy.
So here I was, thinking that me getting drunk had something to do with how many pinnies and backwards hats I wore in a given a week.
It's the middle of winter.

Without a light rail infrastructure in each city, I don't see myself using this a whole lot. I might take the train to Cincinnati from Columbus (as I work downtown) to see the Reds, but I really couldn't get elsewhere I'd want to go (like Mt. Healthy) in Cincy without taking the bus. I certainly wouldn't take the train into downtown Dayton and then a bus to where I'd want to go; I'd just drive and be there in 50-55 minutes instead.
The only place in Ohio this would really work is Cleveland, as they already have good light rail. I would take the train to Puritas station and then jump on the red line downtown.

It's been a good first few weeks of practice for the Pineville Mountain Lions.
Coach Bart Elam is loading up his team today as they head to Georgetown to spend the rest of the week at camp. They're working out in full pads and getting all the new starters up to speed on the both sides of the ball.
"We might be five or six off the numbers we usually have — we've got 23 kids on the roster right now but you wouldn't know it. We're real happy with our ones and our twos and they're coming along at just about every position," Elam said. "We've got a really good bunch of athletes and we're excited. It's a good group of kids."
From the outside it would appear that Elam's offense has evolved during his time at Pineville. Early on they used a lot of four receiver sets in the spread but have found success in recent years by using more of an I formation with a tight end. He said those changes have more to with how the personnel line up rather than what they're trying to accomplish.
With several new and smaller starters along the offensive line, the team may be spreading it out more this upcoming season.
"We've always been a spread concept team, that's kind of what I cut my teeth on. So even when we've gone to more of a run game we've had multiple formations that still incorporated the spread," Elam said. "We're definitely a lot leaner and more athletic up front so we'll be able to do some different things with our line."
Sophomore Tucker Woolum started every game at quarterback as a freshman. With that full season of experience he's ready to do more in both the passing game and running the ball.
"He's progressing well. We went down to Knox Central for 7-on-7 the other day and honestly, I think he was the best quarterback there," Elam said. "He's a smart quarterback, he's growing every day as far as his reads and progressions go. Sometimes I get to talking about Tucker like he's a junior or senior, but he's a sophomore with one year under his belt. Playing last year really helped his confidence.
"Tucker and all the other freshman that played a lot last year are really reaping the rewards of that."
Joining Woolum in the backfield will be junior running back Brad Fuson, who led the team with 16 rushing touchdowns last season, and junior fullback Robbie Miller. The Lions also return leading receiver Will Adams and have another strong group of freshman competing for playing time at the skill positions.
"We've got Tucker coming back at quarterback and Will Adams at receiver. But we've also got Bradley Fuson, who was almost a 1,000-yard back last year, and Robbie Miller who played a lot at fullback," Elam said. "You add the newcomers, the freshmen coming in, and we're going to be really versatile. We'll be able to run or pass and that's what you need to be a good team. You have to be able to take advantage of what the defense is giving you."
Pineville opens the regular season on Aug. 29 at South Floyd.

Indeed, the book "The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008," by John F. Harris of The Politico and Mark Halperin of ABC News, has a whole section on Hillary Clinton, which lays out pretty much every aspect of her political character -- her strengths, weaknesses, history, media relationships, professional status and stamina, and her real chance to win the White House.
If you trace Clinton's time in the 1990s (and understand the lessons she learned from losing repeatedly to the political-media Freak Show) -- and if you look at the tactics and strategies she employed in winning her Senate races in 2000 and 2006 and in her Senate career (in which she has mastered the Freak Show and built a political operation that looks at lot more like the Bush-Rove model than the Bill Clinton model) -- you will understand why Hillary Clinton is as well positioned to be the next president of the United States as anyone else making the race.
So do yourself a favor -- if you are a television booker, a pundit, a voter, a Clinton fan, or someone working to stop Hillary Clinton from being the Democratic nominee and the next president.
Put aside the endless cable and Internet chatter and buy yourself a copy of "The Way to Win." LINK
Read Section IX: "Hillary Clinton, the Freak Show, and the Presidency. That includes chapters on "Losing to the Freak Show," "Challenging the Freak Show," "Mastering the Senate, and the Freak Show," "44! (Assets)," and "44? (Liabilities)."
Once you have done that, you will be equipped to understand what is actually going on now, and why.
Today, Sen. Clinton starts her national conversation about the country's future by answering voters questions in a discussion streamed over the Internet on her website tonight at 7:00 pm ET. Her website says that registration for the chat opens shortly before the webcasts begin. The Senator also appears on some network evening newscasts tonight.
Earlier in the day, Sen. Clinton appears with medical experts, 9-11 responders and their family members at a news conference this morning at the World Trade Center site to call on President Bush to include funding for the healthcare of 9-11 responders in this year's budget.
Sunday: kids and health. Monday: homeland security. Once again: think of a turtle on a fence post.
This weekend, the Senator travels to Iowa for her first visit since November 2003. Details of that trip are TBA (and, perhaps, TBD).
Her husband hosts a book party for former DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York City this evening. While appearing on NBC's "Today" this morning, McAuliffe depicted Sen. Clinton's pro-war vote as a vote to negotiate with the former Iraqi dictator rather than as a vote to authorize the use of force.
"She voted to give the President the authority to have a stick to go over there and negotiate with Hussein," said McAuliffe.
ABC News' Teddy Davis has more on the Political Radar. LINK
As pro-life activists from across the nation gather for the annual day of protest to commemorate the anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, President Bush will be out of town for the sixth year in a row and, thus, will be unable to personally attend or appear at the March for Life, reports ABC News' Karen Travers.

Caching proxy for Debian package and source files
Apt-cacher performs caching of .deb and source packages which have been downloaded by local users. It is most useful for local area networks with slow internet uplink.
When a package is requested, the cache checks whether it already has the requested version, in which case it sends the package to the user immediately. If not, it downloads the package while streaming it to the user at the same time. A local copy is then kept for use by other users.
Apt-cacher has been optimized for best utilization of network bandwidth and efficiency even on slow low-memory servers. Multiple ways of installation are possible: as a stand-alone HTTP proxy, as a daemon executed by inetd or as a CGI program. Client machines are configured by changing APT's proxy configuration or modification of access URLs in sources.list.
The package includes utilities to clean the cache (removing obsolete package files), generate usage reports and import existing package files. Experimental features include a simple package checksum verification framework, optional IPv6 support and pre-fetching of new packages (upgrade candidates).
Apt-cacher can be used as a replacement for apt-proxy, with no need to modify client's /etc/apt/sources.list files (and even reusing its config and cached data), or as an alternative to approx.

Ollie has no plans to pursue NBA coaching job
For the second straight spring, UConn coach Kevin Ollie is the subject of NBA coaching rumors.
This is Decision Day for two UConn basketball players.
Junior DeAndre Daniels is leaving UConn and entering the 2014 NBA Draft. Ryan Boatright is returning for his senior season.
Daniels reached out to fans on Twitter.
"This moment is bittersweet but I made a decision that's best for me and my family. UCONN will always be my home. I love this school so much and the dedicated school spirit of the fans. The past three years here, in Storrs were the best three years of my life. I wouldn't change anything for the world."
Daniels played a key role in UConn's national championshp run, averaging 16 points and a team-high 7.2 rebounds in six NCAA tournament games. He's projected to be a late first round draft pick.
A 6-foot-8, 195-pound forward from Los Angeles, Daniels started 38 games and averaged 13.1 points and a team-leading 6.0 rebounds.
He's the first UConn player to leave school early since Andre Drummond and Jeremy Lamb turned pro in 2012.
It also was a difficult decision for Boatright, who was considered a long shot to be drafted.

After weeks of concern, worry and then near panic over the deadly Ebola virus, there is finally some good news that will (hopefully) relieve some of the lingering fear of a broader epidemic.
James Blunt has admitted what we've known all along: 'You're Beautiful' is very, very annoying.

Napoli's forward Dries Mertens scores the goal of the 1-1 during the Italian Serie A soccer match between Napoli and Cesena at San Paolo Stadium in Naples, Italy, Monday, May18, 2015. (Ciro Fusco/ANSA via AP) ITALY OUT
Fiorentina's Manuel Pasqual, top, jumps for the ball with Parma's Abdelkader Ghezzal during a Serie A soccer match between Fiorentina and Parma at the Artemio Franchi stadium in Florence, Italy, Monday, May 18, 2015. (AP Photo/Fabrizio Giovannozzi)
ROME — Fiorentina beat already relegated Parma 3-0 in Serie A on Monday to calm tensions with its fans after an ugly exit from the Europa League.
Gonzalo Rodriguez headed in a rebound 13 minutes in at Fiorentina's Franchi stadium and Alberto Gilardino doubled the lead in the 30th with a header from a corner.
Mohamed Salah sealed it in the 56th. After receiving the ball at the edge of the area, the striker on loan from Chelsea used one touch to evade a defender then shot into the far corner.
Also, Fiorentina forward Alessandro Diamanti hit the crossbar in the 88th.
Sevilla completed a 5-0 aggregate victory over Fiorentina in the Europa League semifinals last week, prompting fierce criticism of the Viola.
However, the win over Parma — Fiorentina's third straight in the league — moved the Viola back into fifth place and a likely spot in next season's Europa League.
Two rounds remain.
Also, Dries Mertens scored twice as Napoli tightened its hold on fourth with a 3-2 win at home over Cesena, which has also been mathematically relegated.
Napoli, which was also eliminated in the Europa League semifinals, moved within three points of third-place Lazio, and four behind second-place Roma.
Gregoire Defrel put Cesena ahead 15 minutes in at the San Paolo stadium, Mertens equalized four minutes later and Manolo Gabbiadini gave Napoli the lead in the 21st in a frenetic six-minute stretch.
Defrel equalized in first-half added time, left alone to redirect a cross from the center of the area.
Mertens scored the winner in the 57th after exchanging passes with Napoli captain Marek Hamsik inside the area. It was the sixth goal this season for the Belgium international.

20.02.08 - By E. "G" Morales Febus: For those that don't quite know, it lies in the Caribbean Sea, 'only' 95x35 miles wide with a population of just 3.7million and another 3.8million of its decedents worldwide. She is known as "La Isla Del Encanto (The Island Of Enchantment) or "La Perla Del Caribe" (The Pearl Of The Caribbean) amongst other synonyms that describe her beauty and attributes. AND... She is also known as La Tierra De Campeones or The Land Of Champions! Yes, I'm talking about Puerto Rico.
One might find it an extremely hard task to explain on how this Island so dimensionally small and relatively difficult to locate on your average world map has had and continues to produce their 'Campeones' at such an impressive rate. Most countries would welcome their championship "recipe".. Other "championship starved" nations have actually sent as envoys their best trainers to Island gyms for a look n see for themselves" in an effort to explain, dissect and sort out this "pugilistic" phenomenon.
At her peak during 84 a total of 10 (TEN!!) of her fighters held titles during that year!!
De Leon
And Camacho.
With SEVEN of these at the same time! It's also worth mentioning that this achievement was performed BEFORE the creation of the newer weight classes and BEFORE the WBO existed! Had they all been created back then... who knows how many MORE titles would've been conquered during that span by The Island Of Enchantment? Amazing? hmmm... 'AMAZING' does pretty much adequately describe these impressive/outstanding accomplishments, doesn't it? We all don't have to agree but if not, how would you describe it? Do I sound biased or as though I am bragging? Biased? hmmm.. Yeah, maybe so. But 'bragging'?? Well, actually I'm NOT. I'm just sitting in my fight library and proudly admiring the men that have given world wide boxing recognition to our humble Island.
Folks, I come from a long time boxing family of managers, fighters, trainers and even some small time promoting and I'm also proud of hundreds of non-Island fighters and trainers. But today my heart is proudly at home. Viva la Isla Del Encanto! Boxings Little Giant.
Peace to all.

LUMBERTON — After a two-week manhunt, the Robeson County Sheriff's Office has arrested a Pembroke man wanted on charges ranging from arson to attempted robbery.
John David Oxendine, 28, was arrested early Monday at a home on University Road in Pembroke where sheriff's deputies and officers with the Pembroke Police Department found him sleeping, according to a statement from the Sheriff's Office.
Those authorities along with the state Highway Patrol, U.S. marshals and the Bladen County Sheriff's Office helicopter team had been searching for Oxendine for about two weeks in homes, barns and woods around Pembroke and Lumberton, the statement said.
Warrants were taken out for Oxendine earlier this month and, according to the statement, he has committed more crimes since the search for him began.
Oxendine, who lives on Trixie Drive, was one of two men charged in connection with a fire at Friendship Mission Baptist Church on Prospect Road on June 19. The Sheriff's Office says the fire broke out while he and Quentin Ray Chavis siphoned gas from a church van using a battery-powered pump, which sparked. The van was destroyed.
On Aug. 8, Oxendine set fire to his girlfriend's home on Will Road. Warrants were taken out charging him with second-degree arson, burning personal property, larceny after breaking and entering, injury to real property and felony breaking and entering. Oxendine is also charged with assaulting and threatening the woman, the statement said.
In an unrelated incident, Oxendine is charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and attempted robbery with a weapon, the statement said.
Oxendine also failed to appear for several court dates while evading authorities and is charged with resisting an officer. He failed to appear for court dates regarding the following charges: common law robbery; assault with a deadly weapon; trafficking in cocaine; possession with intent to sell or deliver cocaine; maintaining a drug dwelling; two counts of possession of marijuana; possession of drug paraphernalia; resisting an officer; statutory rape; assault inflicting serious injury; driving with license revoked; and two felony probation violations.
As of Tuesday evening, bond for all of the charges Oxendine is facing has amounted to $870,000. According to the statement, more charges against Oxendine could follow, as well as charges against those who helped him elude arrest.

Appendix A: Intervention Study Selection Process
In 2003, the RAND Corporation was commissioned by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to review and analyze the existing research on fall prevention interventions. They conducted a comprehensive literature search and reviewed 826 intervention studies, of which 95 met the following selection criteria: (1) included adults aged ≥65 years; (2) used a randomized controlled trial or controlled clinical trial study design; (3) identified falls as an outcome; and (4) measured the number of falls at least 3 months after the start of the intervention. Of the 95 studies, 57 had falls as a primary outcome and 38 of the 57 reported either the number of subjects who fell at least once or the monthly rate of falling. RAND included these 38 studies in their meta-analyses to determine the effectiveness of fall prevention interventions (categorized as exercise, education, environmental modification, or multiple component interventions).*
Beginning with the 38 studies RAND included in their meta-analysis (used by permission, L. Rubenstein, personal communication), CDC identified those that met the following inclusion criteria: (1) included communitydwelling adults aged ≥65 years; (2) used a randomized controlled study design; (3) measured falls as a primary outcome; and (4) demonstrated statistically significant positive results for at least 1 fall outcome (e.g., showed statistically fewer falls for intervention participants). As illustrated in Figure 1, CDC excluded 1 study that focused on nursing home residents, 4 that did not include falls as a primary outcome, and 25 that did not demonstrate statistically significant, positive results. Of the remaining 8, 2 described the same study and were combined. Lastly, CDC identified 7 studies published after the RAND Report that met the established criteria. In total, the first edition of the Compendium included 14 studies published before December 31, 2004.
Updates in the Second Edition
In 2009, CDC undertook to update the original Compendium. A comprehensive literature search of randomized controlled trials of fall interventions published between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2009 identified 86 studies. As Figure 2 illustrates, 2 interventions were excluded because they were already in the Compendium. Of the remaining 84 studies, CDC excluded 20 that were not randomized controlled trials, 15 that did not focus on community-dwelling adults aged ≥65 years, 27 that did not include falls as a primary outcome, and 14 that did not demonstrate statistically significant, positive results. In total, 8 studies published between January 2005 and December 2009 were added to the Compendium.

Migrating across the Land
Article excerpt
Migrating Across the Land
Migration is a habit that dates back to the dawn of time. People moved across the land because their resources - water, vegetation - dried up and they needed to find a new resting ground. Today, migration still exists. Companies are heading north, south, east and west because their resources are no longer available, the land and the cost of doing business has just gotten too expensive, or they want to consolidate existing facilities.
Management Review talked to the leaders of three companies that moved all, or part of, their facilities. Even though these companies are from different industries and locations, many of their reasons for moving were hauntingly similar. And all viewed their move as successful - worth the money, time and effort.
A couple of years ago, Basic Food Flavors Inc., a processor of hydrolyzed vegetable protein, soy sauce, and soy base products, wanted to expand its business in Southern California. That sounds simple enough, but the company faced one bureaucratic stumbling block after another. Donald Staley, the company's president, first set his sights on a building near its existing Pomona facility.
As part of the zoning and permitting process, Staley had to present a design plan to the South Coast Air Quality Management District. First, he was told that he would have to make expensive modifications before the district could okay the new facility. Then, the district said that it would take at least six months to review and approve the paperwork. This was particularly frustrating because Basic Food Flavors had had no prior air-quality problems. In addition, the costs involved would have been tremendous: With a guaranteed six-month delay, the company would have paid $25,000 a month for a building that it didn't occupy, and wouldn't be able to occupy, until the paperwork came through - if it came through - Staley says.
The next plan was to buy the piece of property adjacent to the Pomona facility. Staley went to the city, submitted his expansion plans, and 10 months later, Pomona gave its approval. Then the bomb dropped. "The sanitation department wanted $450,000 to tap into the sewer - we are not General Motors; we are a small company," Staley admits, realizing the expense was just too great.
Staley knew it was time to leave California. As luck would have it, he was flipping through some business magazines and stumbled across an ad for the Nevada Development Authority. He figured he had nothing to lose, so he gave them a call. "They were very helpful. They took us around to everybody involved in the move - air quality, sanitation, the city," Staley says. Within two weeks, the city of North Las Vegas approved all of the company's relocation plans, a far cry from the bureaucratic bungling it faced in California. And Basic Food Flavors began production in Las Vegas last summer.
Tom Houghton, president of H.S. Precision Inc., a manufacturer of test rifle barrels and synthetic stocks, experienced many of the same frustrations when he tried to expand his Prescott, Ariz., facility. "We needed to expand; we were at a point in our life where we were out of space. And bank financing is almost impossible to get in Arizona," Houghton explains. High costs were the key factor in making a move. "Industrial property in Arizona is very expensive - about $125,000 an acre - the tax structure for running a business is pretty high, the assessment rate for business is two-and-a-half times standard residential. Then they tax personal property, income tax. . ." and the list goes on, bemoans Houghton. He knew it was time to get out. But the question was, to where?
Colorado headed the list for a while, that is, until the bank financing fell through. "The deal was pretty close to being signed, but we couldn't get a bank to give a letter of commitment in writing - everything was verbal," Houghton explains. …

Reclaimed Wood Equals Green
If you are thinking of using green products in your home and you want a very unique look then think old. Reclaimed wood products can add some old age beauty to any home. With products like siding, flooring, timber beams, doors, trim and about any visual wood product you can think of can come from reclaimed wood. Certification programs usually award points for choosing reclaimed wood or recycled-content products. But there is even more, reclaimed wood will always have a story behind the product.
Reclaimed wood is wood that has already been used for another purpose, and has been salvaged for another use. From old barns to bridges and even 1800's cabins, you can always find a story about where reclaimed wood came from. Almost all reclaimed wood is higher-grade wood than the newly-harvested wood sold today usually with more character, stability, and density. Older reclaimed wood was originally harvested from old-growth forests. Generally, less energy is used to create reclaimed wood products than to create new wood products or plastic lumber, concrete, or steel. Even reclaimed wood shipped via boat from other continents still contain less energy compared to domestic manufactured products.
One company that fits the niche of reclaimed wood and does not use the green issues to help promote their products is a company founded in Utah called Trestlewood®. Trestlewood®'s primary objective is to provide its customers with unique, high-quality, competitively-priced wood product options. Trestlewood® was founded and gained its name when a contract was formed to remove the railroad trestle from the Lucin Cutoff in the Great Salt Lake. This is an incredible story of US history and just as incredible salvage project. Read more here trestlewood.com/story.jsp. After the salvage of the railroad trestle, Trestlewood® continued to look for more salvage projects to help diversify and grow their product mix. Wood pickling or whiskey vats, grain silos, barns and even wooden boxes built to grow mushrooms have become reclaimed products in Trestlewood®s inventory.
I have personally worked with some of Trestlewood®'s great products and have seen the different application in many homes. Only Trestlewood® can provide some of these very unique products and their website has a very extensive database of photos. Go to their website to learn more or send me an e-mail and I can help answer any questions.

"Earlier, we had only two categories, men and women. But in the upcoming census, we are including a 'third gender' category," said Bikash Bista, director of the Central Bureau of Statistics in Kathmandu.
Two years ago, the Supreme Court in Nepal ordered the government to enact laws to guarantee the rights of transgender, gay, lesbian and bisexual people.
Bista said the court's ruling prompted the new category, though Nepal remains a deeply conservative country.
"We will send supervisors to each household and get the figures of the household, its members and their gender. This is when we count the number of transgenders," he said.
Sunil Babu Panta, Nepal's first openly gay parliamentarian, who runs the Blue Diamond Society pressure group, said that the transgender community was delighted by the decision.
"This shows that the government has started to recognize them. I hope this will help to ensure their rights," he said.
"But challenges remain for the community as they have often been forced to leave their villages and taken refuge in cities due to discrimination."
Nepal plans to complete the census, which takes place every ten years, in two months. About 28 million people live in the mountainous country.
India will also have a transgender category in its 2011 census, the domestic Press Trust of India news agency reported on Sunday, though no government spokesman was able to confirm the plan.

One thing that that really get's to me is theist who think they have the right to not be offended and all people who enable this behaviour.
I find it hard to find a theist who will have an open discussion about why they believe in a personal god at all or why they think their god is real and all the other ones aren't. Yesterday I remarked on the hypocritical nature of the followers of xtianity and was met with no argument as to why what I said was wrong but that it was rude. When I asked why it was considered rude I was told that I should have respect for peoples religion. I disagree, I'll respect your right to have religion, by all means believe whatever crackpot fairy tales you like but if you are not willing to be offended and stand up for what you believe in then you need to take a serious look into why that is.
Most of the theists I know don't argue because they do not even care weather or not their god exists, they go to church on Sunday and go about their lives as if they were Atheists. But I know there are theists out there who might care but are too afraid of being offended by talking to an evil non believer so they just tell you that you are rude.
Are people just being too polite or am i really too insensitive?

Kairan, I don't know if you addressed your post to me.
I don't ask people to defend religious beliefs. My everything-goes attitude is me cooperating with natural selection -- the fittest survive. I see religion as a kind of medication -- an addicting drug -- for people who are not fit. If they want to kick the habit, I will do what I can to help.
If they don't want to kick the habit, I don't let them lay it on me. I start by saying religion is the biggest fraud that has ever been perpetrated on humankind. I'm an activist; I start with words and follow up with political action.
If it sounds hard-hearted, it's self-interest at work. The more people who look for happiness in a future life, the fewer people I have to share this life's happiness with.
My post is in reply to the OP.
Also, I think it is in your self-interest to promote a secular society.
Kairan, I do promote a secular society, even if my activity results in enlarging the number of people with whom to share this world's happiness. I like parties and people whose minds are free are more fun.
If you cast doubt on some wacked out crackadootles beliefs, most of the reactions you get are akin to match and firecracker. They are so terrified of you, or anyone, causing a chink in their Belief that become down right violent verbally. Personally I find it a kick in the head to light that match. :)
A hypothetical question: What if the theist was your mom who was talking about how nice it will be to see your father again in the afterlife? Would you challenge her in that situation and get a kick in the head out of lighting that match? Please don't say something like "My father was a dick who abused mommy". You know what I am trying to understand. This is a friendly genuine question I ask. I've been in a situation similar to this and done both, copped out and spoke my mind.
Be well

Beginning in June 2010, ECELA will be offering its students the one-of-a-kind opportunity to participate in a Buenos Aires Health Fair while learning Spanish. This program will enable students interested in becoming health care professions to get hands-on experience in a Spanish-speaking environment while providing much-needed medical services to local residents.
(PRWEB) February 23, 2010 -- ECELA Spanish school in Argentina has announced a trailblazing program that will benefit not only its Spanish immersion students, but also Buenos Aires citizens who are in need and have not had the opportunity to receive proper medical attention and advice. Organized jointly with local community centers, the roving health fair will be in a different under-resourced barrio (neighborhood) each week, providing visitors free health education as well as screenings for potential medical issues like diabetes, skin cancer, and glaucoma.
Accepted participants will learn Spanish in Buenos Aires during the morning session and volunteer at the health fair in the afternoons. The month-long program, limited to 24 nursing, premed, and medical students, debuts in June 2010, with a second group of students in July. The fair offers ECELA Spanish students a rare opportunity to attend a Spanish school in Argentina while assisting impoverished Argentines with their medical needs. While ECELA is located in the posh, tree-lined Recoleta neighborhood, the fair will focus on the under-resourced industrial belt, a grim, low-income area which tourists normally only see from a comfortable taxi on the way to the airport.
In addition to the volunteer health care studen

Good works abroad — distributing toys to kids in Costa Rica or spending a day at an orphanage in South Africa — were some of the acts lauded in a YMCA awards ceremony for local high school students.
GUILDERLAND — As the debate rages across the country and around the world over whether digital learning should supersede traditional teaching, Natalia LeMoyne is unperturbed.
Executives in Silicon Valley pay hefty tuition fees to send their children to a Waldorf school that banishes computers. Every student at a poor public school was given an iPad, yet test scores remained low. In a recent debate at Columbia University "More Clicks, Fewer Bricks: The Lecture Hall is Obsolete," a professor who believed online courses could not replace the intimate interaction between students and their teacher argued against a professor who taught online and said he could reach more students in an online course than in 40 years on campus; the audience voted — electronically — to declare the clicks the winners of the debate.
Library Director Timothy Wiles says Guilderland's 22-year-old building "still looks fresh and new," but is in need of repairs so a $90,000 capital reserve fund is planned as part of next year's budget.
GUILDERLAND — A half-dozen music teachers objected to the cut of three-tenths of a post in their department, part of a $92 million budget proposal the school board adopted at its last meeting, which would eliminate roughly 35 jobs next year.
The current caretakers of the Federal home built by John Veeder feel they belong at Rose Hill and have invested themselves in its upkeep.
A State Trooper fled the scene after crashing into two parked vehicles on Altamont's Main Street; he turned himself in 15 hours later, which, police say, was too late to do tests for drug or alcohol use.
GUILDERLAND — Two incumbents — Allan Simpson and Judy Slack — and newcomer Christopher McManus are running for three seats on the school board. No one else turned in petitions by Monday's deadline.
All of them support the $92 million budget, which district residents will decide on, on May 20, along with the election.
GUILDERLAND — Christopher McManus is making his first run for the school board because he believes "new blood" is needed.
GUILDERLAND — "I feel you need to give back to your community," said Allan Simpson, explaining why he is running again for the school board. "I can offer expertise with my financial background," he added.
Simpson works as director of accounting operations for the New York State Insurance Fund.
GUILDERLAND — Judy Slack is running for a third term on the school board because, she said, "I like feeling I'm doing something for the kids."
Slack, who began her career as a high-school English teacher, worked for 24 years as a teaching assistant at Lynnwood Elementary School in Guilderland, retiring in 2008.

Have you been arrested for drunk driving? Is this your first driving under the influence (DUI) offense? If so, you may be eligible for a pretrial diversion program in Orange County. This type of program is an alternative to jail and other serious penalties, much like probation is an alternative punishment for a criminal conviction.
The good news is that your successful completion of the program results in dismissal of the DUI charges and expungement of the case. At The Umansky Law Firm, we provide dedicated DUI defense services to people throughout central Florida. Our attorneys will review the facts of your case to determine whether you are eligible for a DUI diversion program as well as expungement of the case.

Our Orange County lawyers guide clients through the DUI diversion program, providing comprehensive representation from negotiating their acceptance into the program to ensuring our clients comply with all terms of the program.

- DUI level 1 school
- Treatment and/or counseling if required by the program
- Victim impact class
- Random urine screening
- 10-day vehicle impoundment/immobilization
- Six-month ignition interlock device
Our attorneys will explore all options available for your DUI defense and determine if participation in a pretrial diversion program is the most advisable course of action for your case.
If you are looking for the best DUI lawyer, ask us what factors can help determine which lawyer is best for you. We look forward to meeting you and discussing your case and how to determine which lawyer is best for your case and how you can decide. No one can promise to be the best lawyer, but you should know what factors help determine which lawyer or law firm is right for your case.

To be eligible for a pretrial diversion program, you must be:

- Individuals facing felony charges are not eligible
