Denville, NJ (PRWEB) July 29, 2012
"It's essential to obtain an EMR for physical therapy services. To obtain the full benefits of an EMR system and usage of physical therapy CPT codes, it should be specifically designed for use in a physical therapy practice." said Chhoda.
EMRs for physical therapists run the whole physical therapy documentation process, from those that provide basic documentation services to complete systems that address all facets of the practice and integrate easily with the normal workflow of the individual office. Chhoda cited the following advantages and physical therapy management tips of a web-based physical therapy documentation system.
Chhoda said that an EMR, along with physical therapy handouts, for physical therapy services meets all above needs. These benefits for a web-based physical therapy documentation system provide physical therapists with a starting point to seek the EMR system that's right for their practice.
Chhoda's office can be reached by phone at 201-535-4475. For more information, visit the website at http://www.emrnews.com.

Apple's latest upgrade to its iOS mobile operating system has canned Google Maps and seen the introduction of more than 200 new features.
It will be available for general download in September to iPad, iPhone and iPod users. A preview is available now for developers.
Read on for the list of most notable features.
Following months of speculation, Apple confirmed it has dumped Google Maps as the default global mapping application on iOS 6.
It has been replaced with Apple's home-grown Maps app, which offers turn-by-turn navigation, destination searching, Siri-integration for commands, real-time traffic information, and fly-over in 3D mode views. The Maps app is based on TomTom data.
Apple has integrated Facebook into iOS devices allowing users to post status updates, photos, and links from within other iOS applications.
The Facebook integration lets users sign in once and post from the Notification Centre, Siri and Facebook-enabled apps such as Photos, Safari and Maps, as well as store Facebook friend information in Contacts and Calendar across all iOS devices.
The voice assistant Apple first debuted with the iPhone 4S is now available across all iOS devices in the latest update. It has upgraded the personal assistant with the ability to open other applications and post on Twitter and Facebook.
Apple is also working with car manufacturers on its "Eyes Free" feature – a dedicated Siri button in cars allowing users to access their device and Siri without taking their eyes off the road.
Apple has cleaned up its notorious email application with the introduction of VIP designation and the ability to add files from within the email application.
Users can now prioritise email by sender and, more importantly, attach photos, videos or other file in to emails from within the app.
Apple has created an app that lets users store all their tickets, passes and coupons. The company gives the example of a user's loyalty card appearing on their lock screen when the user walks into a coffee shop – Passbook displays the voucher then lets the user scan it via their iDevice.
Apple has upgraded its FaceTime video call technology to work over 3G connections. FaceTime was previously only available via wi-fi.
The updated FaceTime also now combines a user's phone number and Apple ID, giving the option of answering via either their phone or FaceTime app on phone or Mac.
The refreshed Safari includes the ability to share open tabs from an Apple desktop to an iOS device via iCloud – as long as the desktop is running OS X Mountain Lion.
Safari also now offers offline reading lists, photo uploads and full screen view.

Our video review of Sprint's latest 2 Megapixel auto-focus cameraphone.
Although it's been out for a month, Sprint only officially announced the Sanyo M1 yesterday. What excellent timing as we were putting the finishing touches on our review. Don't let the boxy shape and flat, spongy keypad turn you off. Once you turn the M1 on, you'll be impressed. In addition to the features we demonstrate in the video, the M1 also has excellent signal strength and 3-4 day battery life.

its kind of hard to watch. i only see part of the screen. or is it just me?
A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. A straw man argument can be a successful rhetorical technique (that is, it may succeed in persuading people) but it carries little or no real evidential weight, because the opponent's actual argument has not been refuted.
Nah, if you're on IE 6/7 there have been reports of the video not working.. I can't recreate the issue on my machine.

'Breaking Bad': Stephen Colbert isn't ready for it to endAdd to Favorites | The Colbert Report
"Breaking Bad" fans are slowly letting go of the show after Sunday's (Sept. 29) series finale. Most of them, anyway.
Creator Vince Gilligan was Stephen Colbert's guest Monday on "The Colbert Report," and after a good amount of talk about the finale and the series as a whole, Colbert signed off for the night.
Gilligan's work, however, was just beginning. After signing off, Colbert went backstage to check on Gilligan, who was chained to a laptop (shades of Jesse in the final episodes) and forced to come up with a way to continue the "Breaking Bad" story. Kudos to Colbert and his writers for coming up with the long, long list of potential story avenues and characters to follow.
You can also watch Gilligan's interview with Colbert below.

Today, legendary TV host Regis Philbin said goodbye, leaving his morning show amid much fanfare.
In attendance for the big event were the likes of Donald Trump, Katie Couric, Tony Danza, Disney CEO Robert Iger, Frank Gifford and wife Kathie Lee Gifford, and Diane Sawyer.
"Tony Danza's the biggest name here!" Regis joked, as Kelly Ripa tried to point out all the celebrities in the crowd. At that point, Regis said, "I feel okay, I feel pretty good."
Philbin, 80, clearly loved every minute of his last day at work, saying he felt he had had "some success" in television and that looking back, he really enjoyed it.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave Regis the key to the city and ABC revealed it has installed a plaque honoring Philbin on the outside of its Manhattan studio.
The producers also wrote him a farewell song built on the premise that he has spent 995,600 minutes on television.
We'll miss you, Regis!

Medicinal value of chocolate explored by scientists
Mars, Incorporated release
February 9, 2006
The cocoa plant (Theobroma cacao) holds tremendous potential to impact public health and improve the socioeconomic and ecological landscape of the countries where it's grown, according to leading world scientists who convened at the National Academies today to examine the latest scientific advances in cocoa research.
"This symposium highlights the surprisingly diverse and positive role that cocoa can potentially play in improving public health and reinvigorating endangered tropical ecosystems," said symposium co-chair Alan Bennett, PhD, Associate Vice Chancellor for Research and Professor of Plant Sciences at the University of California, Davis. "It also highlights the impact that collaborative efforts among public and private sector scientists from research centers such as Harvard, USDA-Agricultural Research Service, University of California, Davis, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and Mars, Incorporated, among others, can have in a relatively short time."
Symposium co-chair Helmut Sies, MD, Professor at Heinrich-Heine University in Germany added, "Based on the exciting research findings presented today and published recently in leading scientific journals, we are witnessing an explosion of cocoa science that has the potential to change the lives of people in terms of their health and their ability to impact the environment."
Norman Hollenberg, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, presented epidemiological findings that suggest flavanol-rich foods, such as specific cocoas, could provide an unexpectedly large benefit in the management of the two most common causes of death in today's world: cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Theobroma Cacao: The Tree of Change
The National Academies
Washington, DC
February 9-10, 2006
Summaries of Key Presentations
-- Cocoa Flavanols, Nitric Oxide and Endothelial Function
Expert: Norman Hollenberg, MD, PhD, Harvard Medical School
Study of an indigenous population off the coast of Panama have yielded preliminary data to indicate that flavanol-rich foods may provide an extraordinary benefit in the management of the most common causes of death in today's world - heart disease and cancer. The risk of death from heart disease was 1,280% higher and for cancer, 630% higher for the population that no longer consumed large quantities of flavanol-rich cocoa.
-- Cocoa Flavanols: Bioactive Nutrients Beyond Antioxidants?
Experts: Hagen Schroeter, PhD, University of California, Davis; Harold Schmitz, PhD, Mars, Incorporated
This new study identifies the flavanol, (-)epicatechin, as one of the bioactive nutrients in cocoa that can improve the ability of blood vessels to relax. Additionally, the cardiovascular function benefits observed following consumption of a flavanol-rich cocoa are not likely dependent on so-called antioxidant effects.
-- Integrating Genomics into an Applied Cacao Breeding Program
Expert: Raymond Schnell, PhD, USDA-ARS
A collaboration between USDA-ARS and Mars, Incorporated resulted in an accelerated cacao breeding program applying modern genomic science to accelerate traditional breeding techniques to find disease-resistant new plant material.
Expert: Howard Yana-Shapiro, PhD, Mars, Incorporated
-- Cultivating Diversity: The Role of Cacao Agroforestry Systems in Rural Economic Growth and Conservation of Biodiversity
From a compilation of experiences, long-term research and opportunities with cacao agroforestry systems and forest landscape management, recommendations are made to farmers, communities, local authorities, governments and industry which may be employed to develop more sustainable supplies of cocoa.
-- Cocoa Farming Made More Profitable through the Sustainable Tree Crops Program
STCP, the first of its kind public-private partnership, is identifying technologies, approaches and mechanisms to enhance the economic and social well-being of smallholders and the environmental sustainability of tree crop farms. Farmer Field Schools have been credited with bringing increased productivity gains and increased cocoa income.
-- The African Research Infrastructure: Is There a Role for Cocoa Research?
In West Africa, cocoa is one of the most important export crops, and cocoa research and a sustainable production strategy are key to helping poverty alleviation and protecting endangered tropical ecosystems.
-- Cocoa and Chocolate during the American Revolution Era
Expert: Louis Grivetti, PhD, University of California, Davis
A rich history of chocolate consumption has been uncovered throughout North America during the Colonial, Revolutionary and Early American eras. Newly examined documents reveal the importance of chocolate with many notable individuals and groups of these periods, including those in the military for health and medical uses.
In data obtained from death certificates, Hollenberg found that the Kuna Indians living on the islands had significantly lower rates of heart disease and cancer. The relative risk of death from heart disease on the Panama mainland was 1,280 percent higher than on the islands, and death from cancer was 630 percent higher.
"Our results indicate that a flavanol-rich diet may provide an extraordinary benefit in the reduction of the two deadliest diseases in today's world," said Hollenberg, who has been working with the Kuna Indians for more than 10 years. "Though preliminary, the data collected thus far are striking in terms of both risk reduction and potential public health significance. Further research is clearly warranted to conclusively define the relationship between consumption of dietary flavanols and incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancer in this population, as well as others."
Previous research by Harvard's Hollenberg and scientists from UKA Aachen and Heinrich-Heine University in Germany, the University of California, Davis and Mars, Incorporated published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), January 24, 2006, found that the island-dwelling Kuna Indians had significantly higher levels of flavanols in their bloodstream, as well as higher levels of nitric oxide metabolites - a marker for normal blood vessel function and healthy blood flow. In addition, this study was the first to provide direct evidence that a specific nutrient in cocoa, the flavanol (-)epicatechin, can help improve blood vessel relaxation, which is an important factor in cardiovascular health.
Hagen Schroeter, PhD, faculty member at UC, Davis, and Christian Heiss, MD, at UC, San Francisco, co-authors on the study published in PNAS, presented additional new data at today's symposium demonstrating that the cardiovascular benefits observed following consumption of a flavanol-rich cocoa are not merely dependent on so-called antioxidant effects. "The concept that the benefits derived from cocoa consumption are solely related to antioxidant properties represent a view that is not accurate," said Schroeter. "Furthermore, most of the flavanols present in plasma have been altered by the body following consumption, and are known to have even less antioxidant potential than their parent flavanols. Therefore, the specific flavanol content and composition of cocoa, and the cardiovascular activities they exhibit beyond their antioxidant effects, are far more interesting and important to public health researchers."
New data presented at today's meeting resulting from a research collaboration between Mars, Incorporated and the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences further emphasizes the interesting bioactivity that cocoa flavanols can exhibit. "Working with cocoa scientists from Mars, Incorporated, we were able to demonstrate in model systems that certain cocoa flavanols have the potential to inhibit biochemical pathways that can cause inflammation, which is a process that can contribute to cardiovascular disease and other health issues," said Dr. Dongmei Chen, one of the study's co-authors.
Analytical data presented by Mars, Incorporated - world leaders for many years in understanding how to best measure flavanols in cocoa and other plant foods - demonstrated that antioxidant measures commonly used by many researchers and food manufacturers are not accurate when compared to validated primary measures.
"Taken together, it is clear that cocoa flavanols go well beyond the general class of nutrients called antioxidants in terms of their effect on cardiovascular function," said Harold Schmitz, PhD, Chief Science Officer of Mars, Incorporated and a co-author on the study. "The evidence base is such that scientists should stop referring to cocoa flavanols as antioxidants, and should most certainly stop estimating cocoa flavanol content using antioxidant capacity methodologies that are inherently flawed and misleading to clinical researchers and health professionals." Schmitz heads up the global cocoa science research portfolio at Mars, Incorporated, which has collaborated on studies at Harvard, Heinrich-Heine University, University of California, Davis, USDA-ARS, University of Nottingham and many other leading research institutions around the world.
Rare for science programs in today's industrial environment, Mars has been committed to cocoa science investments for more than 15 years, and this investment has resulted in world-leading innovations such as a proprietary method of processing cocoa called Cocoapro(R). This patented technology - which helps retain the naturally occurring flavanols - is used to make unique cocoa ingredients for Dove(R) Dark Chocolate and the new heart-healthy snack CocoaVia(TM). Mars identified the need for this innovation because traditional cocoa processing methods often destroy these bioactive nutrients.
Carl Keen, PhD, Chair of the Department of Nutrition at the University of California, Davis, who has also collaborated on a number of cocoa flavanol studies, chaired the session exploring the link between cocoa flavanols and cardiovascular health in which Hollenberg and Schroeter, along with Joseph Spence, PhD, USDA-ARS, presented their new findings. Keen said people often forget that cocoa is derived from a plant, and they don't realize that cocoa contains similar healthful nutrients found in fruit and vegetables. For example, the flavanol (-)epicatechin - a nutrient especially abundant in certain cocoas - is also found in certain fruit and vegetables, such as apples and grapes.
"The new insights into the bioactivity of cocoa flavanols revealed during the symposium today add new and important pieces of information that will help us understand why diets rich in fruit and vegetables promote cardiovascular health," Keen said. "Nutrition experts have been telling people for years that fruit and vegetables are good for our hearts. Now scientists are taking the next step by identifying exactly which nutrients may be beneficial and exactly why they are."
Using Cocoa Science to Make a Positive Difference for the Farmer
In addition to breaking research in the area of cardiovascular health, presentations highlighted new opportunities for cocoa to provide social, economic and environmental benefits to the millions of farmers who depend on this unique crop for their livelihoods. Every year, many cocoa farmers lose a third or more of this fragile crop due to pests and diseases - or simply because of a lack of appropriate training, the use of rudimentary farming techniques, or other challenges.
A large proportion of the world-leading cocoa science portfolio of Mars continues to be dedicated to improving the lives of cocoa farmers and their surrounding environments in the three main cocoa growing regions of the world - West Africa, the Americas and Southeast Asia. For decades, Mars has been at the forefront of unique public/private partnerships that create new ecological and socioeconomic opportunities for the millions of farmers throughout the tropics who depend on cocoa for their livelihood.
Partnerships with the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS), U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and others have focused on providing science and developing programs to promote sustainable, responsible cocoa farming. Projects have helped to improve farmer incomes, enhance productivity and conserve tropical forest ecosystems.
"Our science partnership with Mars has demonstrated the potential in some exciting new technologies for crop management," said Judy St. John, Deputy Administrator of USDA-ARS. "Together, we are working on environmentally safe solutions to control the pest and disease problems that wreak havoc on cocoa crops worldwide. One such solution seeks to introduce pheromones as a biological control attractant to trap invasive pests such as the cocoa pod borer, a primary threat to the Asian cocoa crop. Because pheromones are naturally produced, there is a benign effect on the environment."
The symposium highlighted other successful partnerships, including a program administered by Winrock International and supported by Mars that provides children in the Ivory Coast access to relevant agricultural education. The Sustainable Tree Crops Program (STCP) - a public/private partnership supported by USAID, Mars and other industry members - provides on-the-ground farmer training in West African cocoa communities. The initial outcome of this pilot program resulted in the potential to increase incomes by 20 percent. This program is now serving as a model for industry-wide initiatives to educate farmers in cocoa-growing countries.
"It is extraordinary and gratifying to be with a company that has made this type of long-term commitment to science, to not only protect the environment and human health, but also to protect the farmers' economic livelihood - the cocoa tree. Mars is at the forefront of efforts that are truly making a difference for cocoa farmers, their families, and their communities," said Howard-Yana Shapiro, PhD, Director of Plant Science and External Research at Mars, Incorporated. "We are at the very beginning of a new era in cocoa - the crop has tremendous potential to help alleviate poverty and protect endangered tropical ecosystems."

Drugs derived from chocolate? Candy-maker Mars in talks
Mars, Incorporated, the privately held U.S. company company that produces M&Ms, Twix, Snickers and other confectionaries is in talks with several large pharmaceutical companies to develop medications based on flavanols -- plant chemicals with health benefits found in cocoa, according to a report from Reuters.
Chocolate could kill your dog
You shoud think twice before feeding your pet a chocolate bar. The sweet treat could be its last meal. Chocolate contains theobromine, a compound that is a strong chemical stimulant. In humans, who metabolize the alkaloid quickly, theobromine has been shown to have some beneficial effects including mood elevation, myocardial stimulation, cough surpression, and vasodilation (widening of blood vessels from relaxation of the muscular wall of the vessels).
Dark chocolate helps diarrhea
A new study conducted by researchers at Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland is the first to discover that a chemical in cocoa beans can limit the development of fluids that cause diarrhea. Cocoa beans contain a large amount of chemicals called flavonoids. Scientists believe that these flavonoids can be used to create natural supplements to ease diarrhea symptoms. Dark chocolate contains high concentrations of cocoa and may offer mild relief.
Flavanols found in chocolate have health benefits
Phytochemicals known as flavanols, which are found in chocolate, fruits and vegetables, can boost the levels of nitric oxide in the blood of smokers and reverse some of their smoking-related impairment in blood vessel function, according to a new study in the Oct. 4, 2005, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology
This is a modified news release from Mars, Incorporated.

Learning Support Services
Most college students discover at some point in their academic career that they would benefit from additional academic support. The Learning Support Center provides services to the general Albion student population as well as services to students with disabilities.
For comprehensive information about accommodations and services for students with disabilities, visit the Disability Services page. For all Albion students, the LSC provides the following services.
Individualized Academic Support
Students meet with the Director of the Learning Support Center to discuss and work on their academic challenges. Learning approaches and study methods are analyzed in relation to the course demands. Modifications and alterations in approach are developed. Students are encouraged to analyze subsequent courses to better predict academic demands. The Center offers students individual appointments to assist with a variety of concerns...
- Improvement of Academic Performance. Students analyze their learning styles and review past course performances in order to formulate strategies and ideas to improve grades. A plan is generated that includes methods and strategies.
- Improving Course Performance. Students ask for appointments to improve a grade or to prevent failing a class. Appointments may be for one time, or ongoing. Areas of performance concern are identified, present strategies and study methods are reviewed and critiqued. Finally, the student develops a new plan based on the revised analysis of personal skill and task demands.
- Improving Specific Academic Skills. Students request appointments to address specific areas of concern such as reading comprehension or note-taking. Strategic approaches are introduced and practiced.
- Academic Monitoring. Students experiencing difficulty with organization, time management or similar skills, can request planned periodic meetings to review performance. in certain circumstances, this may take place through referral by staff or instructor.
- An Alternative Perspective. Sometimes, after you have talked to your instructor, asked your friends for their opinion, and tried to figure something out, you still don't have the understanding or the grade you want. You may not even know what question to ask. That is the time to make an appointment.
- Library. The Center maintains a library of information on study skills; items from the library can be checked out.
Peer-Tutoring Program
Students can request a peer-tutor for a particular course. Peer tutors are upper class students who are majoring in the area and have been nominated by the department faculty.

COMPETITORS at this August's Olympic Games could return home with more than just their medals, a specialist in infectious diseases is warning.
"If you bring people together from all round the world, they're almost sure to share their infections," says Nick Beeching of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in the UK. Hazards lurk everywhere from bath water and soil to the bugs or blood that could be swapped between opponents in contact sports like boxing, he says.
Water sports are especially perilous, Beeching will tell a meeting of the UK's Society for General Microbiology in Bath next week. Water can harbour viruses, bacteria and parasites that cause anything from diarrhoea to viral meningitis and ear infections. The hazards include schistosomal cercariae, parasite larvae that cause skin irritations known as "swimmers' itch".
More than 40 per cent of 304 athletes competing in a triathlon in Sarawak, Malaysia, went down with ...

Please change the prices back, alot of people have quit because of it, also your basically forcing people to BUY battlefunds, I was really looking forward to this game releasing because it was supposed to be a FREE cartoon shooter, well it said that in the trailer, looks like my long awaited game has failed to make me happy...

I'm considering buying something.
I'm going to wait for the meta game to kick in and the server list to sort out.
If we had a dedicated server list available and a standard p2p match making system beside it I believe we could all get along nicely.
Match making on dedicated servers doesn't work too well though. Either disallowing customisation, or slamming people into customised servers against their will.
Also, bookmark list needs a 'players' tab to show players in a server.
I'll only buy something once the game develops... but if it does, I WILL buy something.

I don't want to have to quit, but with a growing trend of players leaving it will become harder and harder to find a server.
It would be nice (as I and many others have said previously) to have some actual comments / replies from the EA reps, we're at over 2100 posts in this thread (admittedly there are a lot of spam posts in here) and have had 5 posts from Shadeshooter, none specifically replying to soothe our anger. It surely isn't too much to have a couple of EA reps pop on here and let us know if anything is being done, or even if nothing is being done.

assuming you won every match, and they were all quick 10 minute matches, that would still take 710 mins, just under 12 hours.

Wow, I didn't expect this big a mess after logging in for a nice game of BFH.
EA/Dice just listen to what your community wants and feels is fair. There are a ton of people here that will offer sensible solutions to the pricing with maths and sums to back it up. I first heard about this on Kotaku, one of the editors complaining about what you have done which was a huge surprise to me.
Good luck.

"Our analysis of the VP economy showed us that people had lots of unused VP, which told us the prices for VP items were too low - hence the increases in VP pricing today."

It's better than just a few players having tons of bandages because they are the only ones that play 20 hours a week, isn't it? Why punish people because they didn't earn enough VP for more bandages, and didn't purchase any BF? And why is it at all necessary to raise the price?
The flaw I see in this is that people who don't play often and earn little VP are given the same price as those who play a bunch and earn tons of VP. And they probably wouldn't just purchase bandages with BF, since they might not want to invest in Battlefield Heroes.

Also, its ridculous, and with the increased prices people will stop playing, and the econmey won't exisit...

you can't change the price! I only play this game 3 day! And now you change!
it is very hard to buy new cloth and new gun because i pay 450VP to buy a new shoygun and
before i have 1110VP and now i buy the shotgun i only have 660VP!
I have no idea why you guys change the price
and i think becace you are try to force poeple to buy BF
Now i am no going to play this game any more i am going to play my Call Of Duty modern warfare2!!

Hi Heroes,
i have an suggestion.
since you want to have some money for keeping the game going, why not make a compromise?
between you guys and your beloved players.
just let the price of everything as it is right now, think it's that you made the wrenches 'rare'.
but please, 10 rounds for 150 is way out of our league, and a 1-day weapon for 150 to!
so my suggestion is that you hold the prices as they are now(VP and BF), but let's say... 1 week weapon for 150VP, and alternative explosions(grenade, tank buster) a bit more, like 175VP(for one week).
then you at least give ut the time to refill the VP pot:-)
Same with the wrenches, keep those prices, but give some more rounds, like 20, maybe 30.
I see myself as a common BFH-player, and i could keep up with the prices before the major change, but i know 99,9% sure that after this i can't play normal anymore, because some of us need an alternative weapon to have fun!
My prices are just an example, btw.
And like some other players suggest, with the how it now it would great if give us more or better ways to earn VP's, free of course...
well, i get your point of the big change, and i agree with you on certain things, now i hope you agree with my point(and others)
it would be a shame if this way to awesome game is ruined by such changes.
your sincerely,
03-12-2009, 01:04 AM | Post: #2116Bulabulatoru
I'm not playing anymore since 11/30.
Buying a weapon 1350 VP for 3 days ... i was thinking it was a joke ... it seems it's not ...
Weapons and clothes should be lasting for :
3 days : VP
1 week : VP
2 weeks : VP
1 month : VP
Unlimited : BF
Lowering the VPs we earn sounds like a good idea to me too.
The game is uninstalled but i don't say i'm leaving forever ... I will wait and see what happens in the coming months.
And sorry if my english suxx

It's 7:03 PM (GMT -5), prime time usually for me, and I have 0 of my 32 friends on. I'm going to join up to 5 games consecutively, if I don't find a full game - I may quit today.
Something needs to be done, or at least said about this situation. 2k replies, 50K views - and a lot of rage quitters, when will this information sink in?

"The players with large amounts of VP are hardcore players, and those playing on all characters all day, the players using 1-2 heroes, for maybe a few hours don't get but 500 max a day"
Yeah if you hack or have VP boost.

2004 Volvo XC90 Q&A
2004 Volvo XC90 Question: Anti-skid service warning light
I've got an '04 Volvo XC90 with 88k miles on it. The warning light for "anti-skid service required" went on recently. My local mechanic did some diagnostic testing, and said that the repair would cost about $2,000. He said some customers choose to do this, and others skip it. I'm not sure what to do - and am looking for advice. What do y'all think? - adrakedrake
2 Answers
Answer 1
Providing the diagnostic trouble codes would be helpful, but with the info you've provided I'm assuming it needs a new ABS Control Module. These fail fairly regularly so it's not a surprise. On some Volvo's the module can be repaired, however I'm not sure about this one. I suggest contacting this company if you're interested in this route: http://bit.ly/8z7rcm As for the safety of driving with this issue you'll have complete usage of the regular hydraulic braking system, you will however not have the anti-skid functionality and anti-rollover features that the ABS system provides. In normal driving you'll be fine, but during a panic stop or maneuver, you'll be in danger of losing control of your vehicle. I don't think skipping this is a good idea, however there are options. Look for a company that will rebuild the module and guarantee their work. - Bret Bodas
Answer 2
I had the same problem and the mechanic found that the connector to the module was corroded due to moisture. Cleaned the connection and was good to go. Warranty did not cover it however even though I questioned the effectiveness of the connector which was supposed to keep out water. - Visitor

Since quite a while I've had anger about BSDstats – their ports reporting stopped including ours (MirPorts Framework, NetBSD® pkgsrc®, OpenBSD ports tree, Debian dpkg), the maintainer was rarely reachable, at most by eMail, and the entire system had issues. Now, the site no longer exists, apparently nobody knows why, and our systems error out. Well, I have disabled BSDstats, this will probably make MirOS appeal more to privacy-conscious geeks again, and save us from getting more errors in our logfiles, especially the Live CD reporting was already totally broken due to weird User-Agent tricks.
I'll now count on people just using IRC or so to say hi to us if they're using MirOS, are happy or tell us things we could improve. Or meet us at conferences and pay for our beer ☺ and other beverages (we're not BeerFSD after all).

SPRINGFIELD—The Illinois Senate barked down a bill that would have banned Fido and other pets from being in the lap of a driver while on the road, but the vote came only after Democrats managed to nip at Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for once driving with the family dog on the roof of a car.
Sen. Martin Sandoval, D-Chicago, argued the proposal was a "common-sense approach" to cut down on distracted driving and to protect pets too.
He said the bill was suggested by a woman whose husband was driving with a dog on his lap and they were both injured in an accident.
Sandoval, chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, said he is an "animal lover" but that "Fido or Kitty Cat" should not be in a driver's lap when riding in a car.
Sen. Dale Righter, R-Mattoon, said constituents would question why the Senate is dealing with the issue while Springfield faces numersou financial crises and "Rome is burning."
But Sen. Mike Jacobs, D-East Moline, immediately rose in response to the Republicans, questioning whether the bill was prompted by a 1983 family trip in which Romney placed his dog Seamus in a crate "strapped" to the car's roof.
"Where should we put the dog?" Jacobs asked.
The bill failed 21-27, with two lawmakers voting "present."

After likely weighing her position on the subject of marijuana and coming to a policy position without much education, Texas Democratic candidate for governor Wendy Davis has finally made an announcement on where she stands with cannabis.
"I personally believe that medical marijuana should be allowed" Davis told the Dallas Morning News' editorial board Tuesday. She also stated that she would consider downgrading the penalty for cannabis.
Demonstrating her lack of study on the matter, Davis stated "I don't know where the state is on that, as a population. Certainly as governor I think it's important to be deferential to whether the state of Texas feels that it's ready for that."
Considering that 58% of Texans support legalizing marijuana and just as many support medical marijuana, the data has been readily available to demonstrate strong support for reforming cannabis laws in Texas.
Davis is likely trying to play this as middle of the road as possible to win as many votes as she can. Considering that the leading GOP candidate Greg Abbott supports keeping current drug laws in place, Davis probably figures that she will easily win the marijuana voting bloc.
"From a philosophical position, do I have any objections to the fact that citizens might want to legalize marijuana? No, I don't," Davis told the editorial board. "But I think watching to see how this experiment plays out in other states is probably advisable before I could tell you for sure."
Responding to governor Rick Perry's recent statements concerning possibly leaning towards sending small possession offenders to rehab rather than jail, Davis stated "I do believe that Gov. Perry's approach is a reasonable approach, that we as a state need to think about the cost of that incarceration and, obviously, the cost to the taxpayers as a consequence of it, and whether we're really solving any problem for the state by virtue of incarcerations for small amounts of marijuana possession."
While Davis is obviously the better choice when it comes to cannabis policy, her timidness on the matter leaves much to be desired.

Cassadee Pope Reveals She Passed on Auditioning Last Season, Admits She "Almost Passed On It Again" This Year
If you asked Cassadee Pope if she ever imagined herself winning The Voice this time last year, she would have laughed it off. Though she was crowned the show's Season 3 winner on Tuesday, the punk rock singer initially turned down an offer to audition.
Cassadee told Rolling Stone that when she was still in her band, Hey Monday, she was approached to try out for Season 2, but she immediately shot them down. However, after she struggled with her solo career out in Los Angeles, she reconsidered — and almost turned it down again!
"I almost passed on it again," she admitted. "I don't know why … just being in the band world, you tend to get a little proud. A part of me just didn't want to do this show because I wanted to do it from the ground up. I really wanted to do it the old-fashioned way, which is kind of impossible nowadays — especially when everyone thinks you're going to sound exactly like your band and no one's interested."
This isn't to say that Cassadee isn't grateful for the opportunity; in fact, she called it the "best career decision" she's ever made, allowing her to break away from her Hey Monday roots and sound "entirely different."
Though having experience in the business was great, her prior fame that had fans up in arms at the beginning of the season, claiming that she had an "unfair advantage." However, for her, though it was "discouraging," it made her push that much harder.
"I had to just prove myself and try to prove people wrong. I thought it was kind of crazy to think that someone like me — who's been working towards this my whole life, since I was four years old, and then toured in bands and did all that, and really has been working hard — doesn't deserve it as much as someone else next to me who's never done it before," she explained. "I feel like if you have the heart and the passion for it, you deserve it."
Do you think Cassadee had an unfair advantage, and did she deserve to win The Voice? Sound off below.

Solving world hunger is not an easy task. For years the "green revolution"—chemical intensive farming driven by corporate agriculture—has been credited with saving nearly one billion people from starvation in developing nations. However, the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) now says the system isn't working. According to the FAO, the green revolution has resulted in "anemic soils, depleted water supplies, diminished biodiversity, resilient pests, super weeds and polluted air, water and soil." Consequently, the FAO says sustainable agriculture is critical to ensuring the future of farming across the globe. Los Angeles Times The FAO recently launched an interactive...

As Vermonters dug out from last week's epic snowstorm, they had their ears tuned to the weather forecast. And what they heard couldn't have made maple syrup producers happier--temperatures were expected to wobble above and below the freezing point for the rest of the week. Bad for travel, but good for rising sap. The plentiful rainfall this past fall and record-breaking snowfall this winter are two predictors for a good syrup season. Maple syrup and related products are big business in Vermont. One in every four trees in the state is a maple, and the little state is the largest producer of maple syrup in the country. Last year's production topped a whopping 890,000 gallons, or 46% of the...

Foreign products that receive the USDA organic label can be found in supermarkets and natural food stores across the nation. To ensure products meet USDA organic standards, the U.S. government hires third party, independent inspectors. The USDA announced on Monday that it will ban the Organic Crop Improvement Association from operating in China because of conflicts of interest and concerns on food safety. The non-profit group has been a leading inspector of organic food for U.S. markets in China. The Wall Street Journal reports that the Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA) "improperly used Chinese government employees to inspect Chinese farms that use state-owned land to grow...

Last year, Vermonters boiled 920,000 gallons of maple syrup. Will that tally top one million this year? It just might. The Burlington Free Press reports that the sugaring season is off to a sweet start. Established sugaring operations are expanding and more and more people are boiling sap at home. If you're one of those new home boilers, remember it takes 10 quarts of sap to produce a single cup of syrup--and that long, slow boiling process could steam the wallpaper off the kitchen walls. (Post-sugaring, you might want replace that half-peeled paper with a Mod Green Pod's environmentally friendly wallpaper.) Most maple syrup ends up poured over pancakes, waffles or French toast. But some...

What do Vermont localvores give their chocolate-loving sweethearts for Valentine's Day since the nearest cacao plantation is on the island of Jamaica, not in the southern Vermont town of Jamaica? Truffles. Chocolate truffles. From Lake Champlain Chocolates, of course. Most people don't think of chocolate as a local product, but Burlington's Lake Champlain Chocolates is working hard to change that. The company uses as many local products as possible, from butter and cream to honey to maple syrup. Because it's not just chocolate that makes their chocolate truffles so rich, so creamy, so irresistible. The secret is in the prize-winning butter, Vermont Butter & Cheese Creamery's...

I just got into this area a little less than a few months ago. Still new to Florida. I was a prior active marine and just went into the Air Force reserves. Tennessee native raised in southern Missouri(pronounced Miz-oore-ah) I was a welding blue collar worker. Now I'm an active reservist for the Air Force. I needed a little break from school. I also helped my dad on his cattle ranch with things like rounding up and counting cattle, putting up new wire and post as well as cattle branding. It's one of those things I grew up on. I don't get to do it as much as I use to, so when I get the opportunity I enjoy the time. I like to get out and about when I can. I really enjoy being outdoors during the day doing things like running and hiking, or just being out on the water fishing. I'm an active person :) I'm a certified personal trainer, but not a fitness nut. I just try to stay in shape.

BatMac is no more. Listen to the harrowing story of a MacBook Pro's last few minutes of life. Tim's iPhone also attempts a swan dive in an Ikea parking lot to put the Zero Chroma Teatro-S case to the test. Plus, Tim and David look at the iPhone 5 and all-new iPod Nano.
Gaz and Guy welcome Tim back'again, to the MyMac.com podcast where he regales us with some pretty exciting news. He's taking a top spot with MacSpecialist in Chicago AND starting a new Podcast to be called TechFan. We go over the iOS possibly replacing OS X (and we don't agree), some more about the iPod Nano, a discussion on FTP and what may replace that too. We (well mostly Gaz and Tim) do some comparisons between the new AppleTV and the Mac Mini while Gaz replaces a drive in an Apple Time Capsule.
Since the introduction of Apple's new iPod lineup on September 1st, there has been a lot of commentary on the internet about the new iPod nano. While most people seem to view it as a worthy update that creates a very nice, focused music player, some people are upset with Apple for removing features that were in the previous generation of nano. I think they are wrong to perceive the changes negatively. Apple's decision to go against conventional wisdom and remove features from the new nano makes sense, in my opinion.
Griffin iClear, Reflect, and Elan Form hard cases for iPod nano (3rd Generation)
Company: Griffin Technology
Price: $19.99, $24.99, and $29.99 respectively
Newly available from Griffin is their revamped hard case lineup for the iPod nano, ranging in price from $19.99 for the iClear to $29.99 for the all new Elan Form, with the $24.99 Reflect staking out the middle ground.
DLO Action Jacket for iPod Nano, 2nd generation
Company: Digital Lifestyle Outfitters
Price: $29.99 MSRP
For well over two years now, I've been using a DLO Action Jacket for my iPod Shuffle, primarily when I'm running or working out. When I upgraded to an iPod Nano, 2nd generation, it was only logical that I also upgrade to DLO's Action Jacket for iPod Nano, 2nd generation.
Running 2-plus miles, usually five times a week, can put the iPod under a lot of stress, primarily from weather and high moisture, as in sweat. I've learned that the DLO Action Jacket does a great job of preventing harsh conditions from impacting upon the iPod.

I've spent the past two years enjoying my iPod Shuffle, running with it, working around the house and yard with it, exercising with it… in other words, getting my monies worth out of it. But finally, I really got tired of not being able to see exactly what I had on the Shuffle and trying to remember what song might be next.

With all the new Apple announcements today, a certain Senator once again will have to be VERY concerned about how full his pipes are. A friend asked me what his name was, but I had to admit that I wasn't sure. My wife keeps up on these things so I quickly told him, "I don't know, Alaska." Ba-da BUMP PSSSSssssshhhh.
OK, all joking aside (yes that was a joke), the Stevenote was very interesting and had me excited because I am in FULL reality distortion field mode while it's going on. Makes the crash afterwards very difficult to manage, though I must admit that it does bring back vague half remembered memories from rock concerts in the 1970s.

The iPod nano. The name just oozes music technology.

Françoise de Graffigny was one of the most important literary figures of mid-eighteenth-century France. Her epistolary novel, the Lettres d'une Péruvienne, was an instant best-seller and immediately translated into various European languages. She was also one of the few, perhaps the only, truly successful female playwright: Cénie ranked amongst the most successful plays of the century. Largely due to her fame as an author, her salon became one of the hubs of Enlightenment Paris, which drew the best-known writers, artists, scientists, politicians, financiers, and aristocrats. The Imperial court at Vienna accorded her patronage, the Encyclopédie mentions her in several articles, and …

LETTER: Snowden showed rights imperiled
Timothy Hampton, Evansville
The manhunt is on for Edward Snowden. Several of our elected officials call him a traitor, a menace to society. Why? This man didn't give away information to weaken the United States, or cause us harm. He told us and the rest of the world what most people already know: the United States government is constantly taking away our freedoms! I hope the citizens of this country follow this man's peril. He spoke out, and he spoke the truth. Our government is going to try and bury him with slander, and cover this up. Why do we need freedom of speech, right to bear arms and the freedom of religion? I believe Edward Snowden gave us a few to consider.

Justin Bieber was allegedly spotted at a brothel in Brazil on Friday (Nov. 1), according to the New York Post's Page Six.
The 19-year-old and a friend reportedly spent three hours in the popular brothel Centauros in Rio de Janeiro before he was spotted sneaking out, covered in a bed sheet. Sources tell Page Six he left with two women.
According to photos obtained by Page Six, Bieber was escorted out of Centauros by his bodyguards, who allegedly sprayed the paparazzi with water. He was put in the back seat of his car while the two women were taken to his hotel in another vehicle.
Page Six reports that photographers confirmed it was the singer through his security team. Sources say Bieber was also identified by his wraparound wrist tattoo, which is visible in some photos, as well as his signature sneakers.
Bieber is currently on tour in Brazil.
The Huffington Post has reached out to Justin Bieber's team for a comment. The story will be updated if his rep releases a statement.
We've been telling you all about Justin Bieber's rumored wild romp in Brazil that supposedly included a visit to a brothel and a night with some possible prostitutes. And now we've got some very inneresting video footage on our hands! It seems a Brazilian lovely apparently spent the night with the Biebs…or was at least in his room while he was sound asleep. And she wanted to gather some proof of her visit! Did she not sign the docs swearing her to secrecy?? Luckily for us, Perezcious readers, she DID videotape the sleeping Biebs and herself! We're not sure what could have possibly put him in such a slumber, but we'll let you all use your imaginations! Ch-ch-check out the scandalicious footage (above)! http://www.youtube.c...h?v=JCpaTwQ8gGM

Photo of the Week – bee story
Posted By ISRAEL21c Staff On September 2, 2013 @ 6:39 am In Israel in Pictures | No Comments
To celebrate the Jewish New Year on Wednesday, we've chosen a seasonal photograph for this week's Photo of the Week.
Honey is an essential part of every New Year celebration in Israel with people dipping apples into it to herald a sweet year ahead.
Every year in Israel some 1,600 tons of honey produced by about 100,000 beehives is consumed in the month of holidays that begin with Rosh Hashanah.
Aside from tasting good, honey also contains anti-inflammatory and antibiotic substances, as you can discover in our story on the Top 10 things you didn't know about bees.
In this picture by Hamad Almakt of Flash90, a bee gathers pollen from a blooming Lupin at Kibbutz Gonen.
If you've got a photograph you'd like to feature on ISRAEL21c please send it in high resolution to us here. Every week we will choose the best one to feature on our pages.

Welcome to Alexander Technique
Workshops with Robert Rickover and Associates. I have been a teacher
of the Alexander Technique for almost twenty-five years. I live
in Lincoln, Nebraska and also teach in Toronto, Canada, as well
as at several workshops at other locations each year.
Group classes and workshops
are one of the most enjoyable, effective and efficient ways for
people to learn how to apply the principles of the Alexander Technique
in their own lives. They allow participants to learn at their own
pace in a safe, cooperative environment. Workshops can be readily
adapted to the specific needs of participants and can take place
in a wide variety of locations.
Unfortunately, attending
a workshop is simply not possible for many people today. Scheduled
workshop dates may conflict with other obligations and there are
often substantial travel and lodging expenses.
A practical solution is
to bring an Alexander Technique workshop to your own area at a time
convenient to you. Alexander Technique Workshops is dedicated to
partnering with you to arrange a workshop that meets your individual
Please contact me about
scheduling a workshop in your area.
