Oakland Gardens consists of almost 20,000 acres that were deeded to European settlers in 1645. This area was originally referred to as the "alley". The "alley" consisted of the marshes, fields, and trees south of the Little Neck Bay. The community developed its name from the Oakland Golf Course, which was created in the 1890s. The golf course later became home to Queensborough Community College, Benjamin Cardozo High School, and P.S. 203. The area further developed due to the addition of Long Island Rail Road service in the 1800s.
The population experienced a boom after WWII. The development of many of the major apartment complexes and single-family housing occurred between the 1940s and 1960s. Many of the people who came to settle in Oakland Gardens during this time period were from Brooklyn and the Bronx. The diversity in the population has grown in recent years.
The first library services in Oakland Gardens began through the efforts of the Library Sub-Committee of the Bell Park Gardens School Committee. They championed for library facilities for the community. The early efforts of the committee succeeded in obtaining a Book Bus stop for the Bell Apartments; however the committee continued their efforts to obtain a branch library.
The Windsor Park Branch Library had its grand opening on September 17, 1951 at 73-28 Bell Boulevard in a rented store space. The community discovered that a larger library facility was needed. In 1956, Windsor Park Branch Library moved to its current location of 79-50 Bell Boulevard. The branch experienced major renovations in 1976 as well as several minor building projects that contribute to the appearance of the library today.

Youth Participation in Community Change: A Case for Inclusion
How can designers offer youth a chance to participate in community change? In what ways can youth contribute, and what is the potential impact?
Julie Pedtke, summer 2012 Design Engagement Intern at Architecture for Humanity, explores these questions in a research report (now available for download here). Youth Participation in Community Change: A Case for Inclusion seeks to demonstrate the value of youth participation in affecting meaningful change in community. Framing a process of change-making that focuses on the built environment, the report looks at four case studies of current initiatives that provide space for youth to participate in local design advocacy. It outlines each initiative's area of expertise, and identifies the unique opportunities for youth to learn and contribute within each. All stem from a common narrative of youth-driven community change, grounded in the assets that youth represent: a deep stake in the future (and therefore a committed idealism); a wealth of place-based knowledge; and a bank of time committed to education that has an innate flexibility. While these assets make the case for partnership between professionals, educators, youth, and communities, the report suggests that another potential level of partnership exists.
Julie argues that collaboration between initiatives based in different areas of expertise along the process of community change creates the opportunity to strengthen each initiative and expand their reach. She sees a critical need for a paradigm shift and a reimagining of the relationships between youth, educators, professionals, and communities. New organizational structures will also be needed to provide logistical support. The report concludes with an appeal for further conversation about the role of youth in design and community change this topic.
Julie Pedtke will be starting her third year at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA, fall 2012. She studies architecture with a focus on public interest design, and plans to continue her research on youth participation in the coming semesters.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Nick Batten, mediaweek.co.uk, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 10:40AM
JCDecaux claimed that due to cheaper production costs, the new product will transform the cost of spectacular advertising, enabling clients to book 50 3D billboards for the cost of 10 traditional 3D specials.
According to JCDecaux, PosterProps are inflatable, easier to transport, can be mass produced cheaply and can also be used on wallwraps as well as billboards. The product can form complex shapes including food, drink, confectionery and electronic goods.
As yet, Guinness is the only brand to have trialled this new medium with JCDecaux in the UK, using it to display a pint in 3D. 7UP recently ran a campaign using the medium in the US in April this year.
Sam Bird, director of productions and creative solutions, said: "This is about creating, big, bold Outdoor spectacular campaigns that are simply unmissable. This high-impact 3D product will enable clients to bring their brands spectacularly to life on the streets, amplifying their wider Outdoor campaigns.
"Airvertise are our official Out of Home (OOH) UK partner and we are delighted to be working with them to facilitate national specials campaigns and to open up the specials market to even more clients."
Airvertise was founded in 2010 by the inventor Richard Mark Peter and Tony Gearty (co founders and co-directors of the company).
Tony Gearty, chief executive of Airvertise, said: "We are delighted to have teamed up with JCDecaux which means that clients can now have several 3D adverts for the same investment they would previously have paid for just 1 hard-format 3D prop."
Earlier this month, JCDecaux digitised all of its poster sites on the Cromwell Road, calling it "The Cromwell Road Digital Gateway".
In July, the company hired ex-BAA ad chief Juan Perez to be its new director of retail, replacing Steve Arnold.Follow @nickbatten2

Rated 3.5 out of 5Â by 2 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by deerheart Not so striking in person Ordered the joni wash because i liked the contrast between the dark wash and the white paint stain. The are unfortunately much lighter and quite dull in color, the wash does not have the depth in color that i envisioned from the studioshots Its a great jean, though, very well made and supercomfy on. They fit a little roomier and not so flattering as my NSF Morocco wash in the oil stained destroyed bf jeans, The color did not work for me - i feel it was misrepresented in the images, so i am sending them back. 10.15.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by mice Penny I'm not a fan of pre-distressed denim but I love the paint on these enough to overlook the holes. Kind of crunchy and the placement of smudges and brush stokes is both balanced and authentic. I am 5' 4", 122, and took a 27, which is my usual size. I don't typically size up or down in boyfriend jeans and I really like the fit of these, slouchy but not too loose. The fit reminds me more of the actual guys jeans I used to wear than the women's style currently sold as "boyfriend" that no dude could wear. 100% cotton is appreciated too, I like the way they wash and wear. They fit my life; I can wear them everyday and I don't have to worry about getting them dirty or wiping more paint on them. 8.19.2013

One argument for continuing the UK's nuclear submarine fleet is that they are undetectable. Is that still true? And is it likely to be correct when replacement vessels are ready?
• This is a controversial and often misunderstood issue. While nuclear-powered submarines have advantages in speed, range and submersion time, they are far from undetectable. Surprisingly, modern diesel submarines are often far quieter than their nuclear-powered counterparts.
The problem lies in the power plant itself. A nuclear reactor cannot be turned off and on like a diesel engine can. Although a nuclear submarine can rapidly stop its propeller, it wouldn't shut down the reactor because of its long start-up and shut-down times.
When it is running, the reactor emits an acoustic and thermal signature which can be picked up by modern detection equipment. In contrast, diesel subs can shut down their entire propulsion system, lying almost completely silent on the ...

Andy Frasco, a twenty-three blues/jazz musician hailing from the San Fernando Valley in Southern California, is nothing short of an enigma. Influenced by Damien Rice, Sam Cooke, Professor Longhair, Van Morrison and Tom Waits, Frasco's style is as uninhibited as those artists who inspire him. Let's call it Party Blues.
Within the past three years alone, Frasco has trekked over 120,000 miles, performed over 700 shows, with spanning over 6 countries. Frasco's journey, however, is just beginning. This revolutionary is on a mission to alter the music business as we know it.
Frasco's a rarity in the music business: one who is an industry "insider" and a talented musician. This unparalleled insight is due, in part, to his days of managing and promoting bands when he was 16 years old. He's booked bands like HelloGoodbye, and worked with labels and venues such as Drive Thru, Atlantic Records and The Key Club in Hollywood, Ca.

In his review of Stuart Pimm's
"Now," continues Pearce, "we are entitled to something more sophisticated." While it is true that there is not an ounce of soil that does not bear the stamp of our species, this should not obscure the fact that there is a considerable difference in degree of human impact between, say, the Serengeti and Hyde Park.
It has become fashionable to ignore the fact that global biological diversity would be greatly reduced if the Serengeti were opened to the same amount of human influence that has shaped and is maintaining the Park. While Pearce is right to say that we create as well as destroy, sadly that's of greater relevance for rats and weeds than eagles and cheetahs.

New addition to campus is flying high
You may have noticed the 18 new banners that have been hung around campus this month. The 30" x 60" vertical banners, that read, "SUNY New Paltz, Founded 1828," are blue, orange and white. The original idea for the project came from the 175th Anniversary's Publicity Committee as a part of a plan to surround the campus with banners to help celebrate the 175th anniversary. The image of the original clock tower that was on the van den Berg Learning Center, before the tower was destroyed by a fire in May 1990, was drawn by Jan Harrison in the Publications office in 1994. Freddy V. Destefano and Brian Pine, electricians from Facilities Operation, hung the banners on Plattekill Avenue, S. Manheim Blvd., and S. Chestnut/Southside Loop. Laura Kniffen and Mary Kastner in the Publications office developed the permanent banner design.
The times, they are a-changin'
Summer schedule will end this Friday, August 15, and regular hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) will resume on Monday, Aug. 18. If you have any questions, please contact Human Resources at x3170.
Formal welcome to New Paltz
Annually, we begin our academic year with our traditional convocation ceremony. The 2003 Fall Convocation will begin at noon on Friday, Aug. 22, in Julien J. Studley Theatre. This is a formal welcoming ceremony, where incoming and transfer students and their families are introduced to the intellectual expectations and values that support our community of scholars. The President and the Provost, the teaching faculty, the President of the Student Association, and an Alumni Association representative all participate in the program. This year, our convocation speaker will be Patricia Phillips, professor in the School of Fine and Performing Arts. A complimentary picnic lunch will be provided on the Old Main Quad for all attendees after the ceremony. Tickets for the picnic will be handed out at the door of the theatre. The SUNY New Paltz community welcomes our new members and is thrilled to have you here to help shape an exciting future.
Time to unpack!
The campus will come to life next Wednesday, Aug. 20, when about 925 new, first-year students move into their new homes in the residence halls. About 650 new transfer students will join them later in the week. This fall's first-year students were selected from a pool of more than 11,000 applications, and the transfer students from a group of 3,000 applications. While the number of new students remains about the same as last year (920 freshmen, 650 transfers), the academic performance of those students has continued to increase. This year, 84 percent of New Paltz's accepted freshmen came from the top two SUNY quality groups, up from 83 percent last year and 75 percent from 2001. With an acceptance rate of 39 percent, New Paltz remains one of the most selective universities in the Northeast and among the 5 percent of campuses across the country which accepts less than half of its applicants. While entry to New Paltz is becoming significantly more difficult, the university is still attracting qualified students from all backgrounds - 24 percent of the incoming freshmen come from historically underrepresented groups. Returning students will have much to celebrate. Students will notice several changes across campus, including the newly refurbished Hasbrouck Dining Hall, and the beautifully renovated plaza deck and stairs on both the west and east sides of the Smiley Arts Building. This fall, students can also expect the grand re-opening of the John R. Kirk Planetarium, located in the Coykendall Science Building. With the reconstruction now complete, the planetarium will have state-of-the-art equipment and new star shows, including seasonal themes, star evolution, eclipses, meteors, planets and children's shows. In addition, construction continues on the new Athletic and Wellness Center and Lenape Hall.

There's something about Amy
Friday, 3rd Feb 2012
Fred Perry are proud to support the Amy Winehouse Foundation; a charity set up by Amy's family and friends to help struggling young people. Since launching in late September last year, the Foundation has helped youngsters up and down the country by raising money and donating to hospices and other worthy causes. With the blessing of Amy's family, we've continued to release the collaborative collection Amy created with Fred Perry, donating all the usual royalties plus a seasonal contribution to the Foundation.
The SS12 Amy Winehouse for Fred Perry Collection has now been released, referencing Amy's love of 50s Americana with the artist's signature gingham check bowling shirts and a unique 'jukebox' print featuring Cadillacs, records and cats-eye sunglasses. Cosmopolitan have used pieces from the collection in their 'Take a Ride with Me' pictorial below, photographed by Mark Andrew and styled by Sairey Stemp:
The fashion world has always had a fascination with Amy's iconic style, and we're happy that the collection Amy was so passionate and dedicated to has been released for her fans to enjoy.

Chapter 1 : Ron's first magic
|Rating: 12+
|Chapter Reviews: 4
Background: Font color:
"Fred, George stop that this instant!" She shouted through the Burrow, not entirely sure where they were hiding. A second later to cheeky faces appeared in the Kitchen.
"Stop opening the sweet cupboard boys, I don't care how hungry you are, everyone will be having dinner shortly." She explained to them.
"But we aren't…
"…opening the sweet cupboard" started George before Fred finished the sentence.
"Just go play with Charlie and behave boys, I'm watching you." She told them with a slight shake of her head. They both ran off to find Charlie. The cupboard remained shut for the rest of the day and at 6:30 Molly took Ginny and Arthur took Ron upstairs to put them to bed. Molly tucked Ginny in and told her a story about a girl who used to get laughed at but then one day she found out she was a witch, however before she reached the end Ginny's eyes fluttered shut and she fell asleep with a smile on her face. Giving her a kiss on the forehead Molly quietly walked out of the room and almost walked into Arthur. Holding a finger up to her lips she pointed to Ginny's room to signal that Ginny was asleep. Opening Ron's door she walked in and saw him lying on the bed, his favourite teddy bear tucked in next to him. Smiling at no one in particular she proceeded to give him a kiss on the forehead before leaving the room and going to try and wrestle the twins into bed.
Early the next morning, 3:30 am early, Molly was woken up by a loud giggles; groaning to herself she got out of bed and headed into Fred and Georges' room. She was all set to tell them off, however to her surprise both the twins were still fast asleep; they even looked somehow angelic which amused Molly a little. When she had left the room she wandered into Ron's room, which was next door and the sight that met her eyes made her gasp in shock. All of Ron's teddies were floating in the air and in the middle sat Ron who looked highly entertained by all the floating toys.
"Who's my clever little boy; his first time using magic, we better go and tell daddy shouldn't we!" She picked up Ron who laughed as Molly started smothering him in kisses. All the teddies fell to the floor with a soft bump and Molly walked out of Ron's room and practically ran into her bedroom.
"Arthur, wake up! Arthur, are you awake?!" She half-whispered, half-screamed as she tried not to wake the other children up; it was only 3:30 after all.
"Hmm, wa'happened?" he whispered, as he turned to face Molly and was surprised to see her holding Ron.
"Little Ronikins did his first bit of magic! All his teddies were flying about in his room. You want to show daddy?"
"That's great, but I don't think he is going to show me any time soon" smiled Arthur as he watched Ron doze back off in Molly's arms. Molly laughed quietly before tucking Ron in between her and Arthur. For the rest of the night Molly slept with a smile on her face as she dreamed of Ron and what he would get up to when he finally went to Hogwarts.

Laboratories—makers of morphine, oxycodone, and clonidine anti-pain medications—runs an on-line Pain Institute to answer patient questions about pain control. Janssen Pharmaceutica (which makes Duragesic, another alternative for pain management) also offers articles on recent advances in pain control and tips for people with chronic pain on its Web site.
The major drawback to the effectiveness of these organizations is that not enough cancer patients use them. A 1992 study of cancer survivors revealed that only 11 percent contacted cancer organizations (including the higher-profile NCI and ACS) after their diagnosis for information or support (Hewitt et al., 1999). Potentially fewer patients use them for questions specifically relating to end-of-life care. The NABCO information services reveal that although they get anywhere from 20 to 100 calls a day, at most one or two callers a month request hospice or end-of-life care information (McClure, 1999). The NKCA reports that the majority of its contacts are with newly diagnosed renal cell carcinoma patients and that most requests for its Reflections booklet come from the medical community (Dison, 1999). There are numerous explanations for these findings. Many of these organizations are small, not-for-profit entities, and so cannot take the steps needed to increase their national exposure. Moreover, patients and their family members might not think to contact these organizations because they believe—justifiably or not—that their personal physician or social worker has provided them with all the relevant information about their disease, treatment options, and what to expect in the future. Furthermore, patients may be in denial or feel self-conscious about their health status and not want to share information they consider private outside the provider-patient relationship. It is hard to reach out for new information when overwhelmed with recent bad news.
Another significant problem is that these organizations vary widely in how well they address end-of-life issues. As indicated above, Cancer Care, Inc., NABCO, ALCASE, and NKCA proficiently integrate palliative care information into all their materials. On the other hand, the National Brain Tumor Association (NBTA) publishes A Primer of Brain Tumors: A Patient's Reference Manual (1998, 140 pp.)? which never mentions palliative care or the potential for disability and death—not even in the final five page section on "Comfort and Coping." The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC), an organization dedicated to "providing complete and accurate information regarding ovarian cancer," sends inquiring patients a large packet of materials on ovarian cancer. However, end-of-life issues are addressed either obliquely, such as by including an Ortho Biotech pamphlet on cancer fatigue, or not at all, as in the NOCC publication Myths and

Maputo — Heavy rains destroyed at least 344 houses in the northern Mozambican province of Nampula in the last ten days of December, according to a report in the Beira daily paper "Diario de Mocambique".
The victims were residents of Nampula, Monapo, Meconta and Nacaroa districts, where heavy rains and strong winds demolished homes.
Data from the country's relief agency, the National Disaster Management Institute (INGC), indicate that Nampula district suffered the worst effects of the storms, with 201 houses destroyed. 104 homes were lost in Monapo, 36 in Meconta and three in Nacaroa.
The INGC spokesperson in Nampula, Isabel Cavo, said the high winds knocked down 1,533 cashew trees in Meconta. In Nacaroa, Monapo and Malema districts, the roofs were blown off 16 classrooms.
Cavo said that the INGC has sent 60 rolls of plastic to Nampula district to provide covering for temporary shelters for those made homeless. Ten kits containing plastic rolls, hoes, machetes, hammers, nails and wire have been sent to Monapo to help the homeless families there restart their lives.
A further 18 rolls of plastic were sent on Thursday from the INGC's warehouses in Nampula city to Meconta.

We haven't overpowered our '06 Corvette's factory clutch quite yet-but when you're testing, tuning, and otherwise driving the hell out of your C6 project car, the best approach to remedying a near-inevitable case of the slips is a proactive one. Our power output thus far has been increased by a 3-inch CORSA exhaust, VaraRam induction items, and a set of long-tube ARH headers, to the tune of about 33 rear-wheel horsepower overall. But with much more to come, it's only a matter of time before the factory LS2 clutch becomes a liability.
A call to late-model GM clutch specialist Spec yielded one of the company's Super Twin units. The main idea behind two clutch discs is that they yield increased frictional surface area, which improves holding ability. While the torque rating of any of the models in the Spec Super Twin line is greater than our LS2 will likely ever make, it's nice to know that the extra capacity is there. Moreover, the additional surface area of twin-disc clutch systems simultaneously allows the use of a far less aggressive friction compound than is needed for an equivalently rated single-disc unit (not to mention a lighter pedal effort requirement), which is a boon for driveability. Spec sells the only twin on the market that features all-billet construction, allowing for lighter weight and a 0.001 machine tolerance. There's also a sprung hub for smooth engagement and 1050 high-carbon steel friction surfaces for tremendous wear life and warp resistance.
While pricier than the GM LS7 clutch (a common upgrade that can handle more horsepower than a stock LS2 clutch), the Super Twin gives us an actual advantage over the Z06 clutch system. Plus, it's fully rebuildable, with kits ranging from $199.00 to $599.00 on our particular unit. This shouldn't be an immediate worry by any stretch, though, as Spec says that its first prototype (a "trim 3," versus our trim 1 unit) is still working great, despite close to 300 10-second strip passes and nearly 30,000 street miles. They're still not sure how long these suckers can last! As we're a bit short on time and space this issue, we'll give you the lowdown on how this clutch drives (and races!) in our next C6 project installment.
As clutch replacement requires removal of almost the entire drivetrain, we figured there was no better time to strengthen our transaxle. See the sidebar for details on our DTE Differential Strut. G

A single hydrogen atom has been snipped off a molecule and then added back on again, marking the first time a single chemical bond has been broken and reforged in a controlled, reversible way.
The researchers used a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) for their cutting tool, which works by manoeuvring a sharp metal tip close to an object, applying a small voltage, and measuring the trickle of electrons that flow between the two.
The team first used their STM to locate a methylaminocarbyne (CNHCH3) molecule that was fixed to a platinum surface.
Then they turned up the voltage, increasing the flow of electrons. That was enough to break one bond - between the molecule's nitrogen and hydrogen atom - but not to disturb any of the other bonds, leaving a molecule of methylisocyanide (CNCH3).
Reversed process
To reverse the process, the group simply bathed the sample in hydrogen gas. The platinum surface catalysed the splitting of the hydrogen molecules into their hydrogen atoms, which reacted with nitrogen in the methylisocyanide molecule to re-form methylaminocarbyne.
This kind of reversible alteration could be used in molecular electronics, says Yousoo Kim at the Surface Chemistry Laboratory in Wako, Japan, who carried out the experiment with colleagues.
Changing the bonding of a molecule like this also changes its electrical contact with the metal surface - if it could be reversibly changed from conducting to insulating, it would become a molecular switch.
Lucky break?
But it is not yet clear how to extend this result to other systems. When researchers have attempted molecular surgery with an STM in the past, it has usually either broken other bonds (often completely destroying the molecule), or resulted in a chemical change that cannot readily be reversed.
The key to the new experiment was in the choice of methylaminocarbyne, which turned out to be a much more stable subject.
The team calculates that electrons added by the STM tend to hover relatively closely to the nitrogen-hydrogen bond in the molecule, although they are still unsure why that makes the bond break so neatly.
"We've done a cute experiment and found a nice effect, but we don't fully understand why" says Michael Trenary of the University of Illinois at Chicago, another member of the team. "To a large extent we just got lucky."

Beneficial partnershipThe North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame was saddled up and rarin' to go this 2012 tourism season.
By: Raymond S. Morrell , Agweek
The North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame was saddled up and rarin' to go this 2012 tourism season. The chute gate was wide open and we gave 2012 a heck of a ride. This travel season, our award-winning Center of Western Heritage & Cultures: Native American, Ranching and Rodeo was exposed to several thousand people experiencing North Dakota's cowboy way — many for the first time.
We want to thank the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation for its clever incorporation of the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame — Center of Western Heritage & Cultures into this year's production of the Medora Musical. We sincerely appreciate the efforts made in doing such a great program. The show was top-notch entertainment. A cowboy is fortunate to have a good neighbor to share a fence line. TRMF is our good neighbor, as we are to them.
TRMF was a vision of Harold Shafer, who would have been 100 years old this year, to preserve the legacy of the town of Medora, N.D. The NDCHF is the reality of a vision by our founding president Evelyn Neuens, a vision shared by countless others across this state, to preserve North Dakota's rich western heritage and culture. Currently, the NDCHF is updating its strategic plan as we move into a new era. We are addressing new opportunities for our organization, as well as identifying enhancements and upgrades to our premier interpretive center — the Center of Western Heritage & Cultures: Native American, Ranching and Rodeo, in Medora.
As we acknowledge TRMF for this great partnership, we also thank the people of North Dakota who have visited our center and have given to the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame. We are grateful to serve as the trail boss in sustaining North Dakota's resilient western way of life, its cowboy culture and rich western heritage. Saddle up and let's ride.
Editor's Note: Morrell is executive director of the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame.

All add-on drugs control blood sugar about equally when added to metformin/sulfonylurea, but more weight gain and hypoglycemia episodes with insulin
Metformin is recommended first line treatment for type 2 diabetes, and sulfonylureas are often added as a second treatment when metformin alone does not control blood sugar. Several classes of diabetes drugs including insulin can be added when metformin and sulfonylurea fail to achieve control, but it is not clear whether one class of diabetes drug is better than another in this situation. Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 18 published trials to compare the efficacy of add-on diabetes drugs for patients whose diabetes is uncontrolled on a combination of metformin and a sulfonylurea. Trials of insulin, α-glucosidase inhibitors, receptor agonists, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 were reviewed to ascertain effect on blood glucose level, weight, and frequency of severe hypoglycemia. The data showed that all drugs decreased blood glucose levels about equally when added to the metformin/sulfonylurea regimen, without any clear between-drug differences. However, insulin was associated with more weight gain and hypoglycemia. Based on the evidence, physicians can base their choice of third line diabetes drugs on patient preferences and clinical characteristics.
People with low selenium concentrations in their blood have a two- to three-fold increased risk for death from heart disease. Conversely, people with higher selenium concentrations have been shown to have high blood cholesterol and triglycerides. Investigators studied 501 volunteers aged 60 to 74 to determine the effect of selenium supplementation on cholesterol levels. Volunteers were assigned to receive either a yeast-based placebo or a low-, medium-, or high-dose selenium yeast pill. After six months, researchers measured changes in selenium levels and in total, good, and bad cholesterol levels in all participants. On all selenium doses, participants selenium levels went up, and total and bad cholesterol levels decreased by a small amount. Good cholesterol levels increased very slightly in only the group that received the highest dose of selenium. The researchers caution that the findings do not justify selenium supplementation, as the results are not statistically significant and because the safety of selenium supplements is not well-defined.
Previous studies have linked obesity to premature death in the general population. As these patients age, the effect of obesity on mortality seems to decline, but other effects may remain or worsen. Researchers analyzed data from 1994 2000 Medicare surveys of 20,975 community-dwelling adults aged 65 years or older to examine and compare the relationship between obesity and mortality and also obesity and functional decline associated with daily living. Among older adults, obesity only caused higher mortality when a patients BMI was significantly above normal range. However, the more elevated the BMI, the more likely the patient was to experience functional decline within a two-year period. According to researchers, these results suggest that older obese adults may be an appropriate target group for interventions to prevent or decrease disability.
Congress has allocated $30 billion to stimulate adoption and meaningful use of electronic health records. Meaningful use is defined by three central components: 1) electronic prescribing with decision support; 2) automated quality measurement; and 3) health information exchange (HIE). To be considered meaningful, providers must purchase technology and comply with metrics related to implementation. Regional health information organizations (RHIOs) are entities that facilitate clinical data exchange in a local area. With grant support from the federal government, RHIOs give local providers an efficient way to exchange data with other participating providers and stakeholders (laboratories, physician practices, public health departments, etc.) so they may comply with expert-derived criteria for meaningful use of electronic records. In 2009, investigators surveyed 179-U.S.-based RHIOs to assess the state of HIE. Of the 179 RHIOs surveyed, only 13 could support meaningful use of health information technology and none met expert-derived criteria for the comprehensive HIE needed to substantially improve care quality and efficiency. The author of an opinion piece in the same issue says that meaningful use policies are unrealistic from a providers perspective. The author recommends that policy makers take a new approach that focuses on improving usability and functionality before emphasizing widespread adoption. The author of an accompanying editorial says that no matter what the obstacles, it is time to leave paper records behind and move closer to full adoption of electronic records. He writes: "Our patients increasingly demand that we operate with at least the same level of service as their banks, car rental companies, and online retailers." According to the author, these demands are perfectly reasonable in 2011.
Following hip fracture, it is imperative to get patients mobilized as quickly as possible. Patients who experience greater pain, are slower to mobilize, and have much poorer health outcomes and greater pain three to six months after injury. For this reason, pain management is an important factor in recovery. Researchers reviewed 83 published studies to determine the benefits and harms of drug and non-drug pain management interventions following hip fracture. These interventions included: nerve blockade; spinal anesthesia; systemic analgesia; traction; multimodal pain management; neurostimulation; rehabilitation; and complementary and alternative medicine. The evidence showed that most pain management interventions result in improvements in short-term pain, but few studies of long-term clinical importance were documented. Based on published research, nerve blockade seemed to offer the most effective pain relief and lowered the risk of delirium compared with usual care.

Jersey Shore
Read the Jersey Shore Cast's Reactions to the Show's Cancellation
As you may have heard, Jersey Shore is no more. MTV confirmed that Season 6 will be the final season of the show that made stars of Snooki, JWOWW, and The Situation. So how is the cast taking the news?
Here is how the various stars have reacted on Twitter so far.
Snooki tweeted, "Yes, sadly it's true. This upcoming season of Jersey Shore will be our last. But it was fricken INSANE. I will always love my roomies!"
Pauly D tweeted, "All Good Things Must Come To An End, But #TeamDJPaulyD Lives On And It's Just Getting Started !!! Tweet I AM#TeamDJPaulyD If You With Me"
His partner-in-bromance Vinny tweeted, "Alright, so I guess I'll run for president now #Vinny2012"
Deena Nicole tweeted, "It really just hit me now this summer was the last time I'll be filming with my roomies we all share something incredible thnx to you guys"
Sammi Sweetheart tweeted, "It's been one hell of a ride but this is just the beginning! Thank you all for your love & support throughout the seasons!! These memories will never be forgotten!!"
As for her boyfriend Ronnie, he tweeted, "I can always go work for Danny at the Shore Store! LOL"
A source tells Wetpaint Entertainment, "Right now, Snooki's main focus is her baby." But that doesn't mean she's ruling out a big career in the future. "She's also got her spinoff show with JWOWW. After that, who knows what the future holds?"
No word yet from The Situation or JWOWW — although JWOWW did tweet her thoughts on how boots fit into fall fashion.
Jersey Shore Season 6 will premiere on Thursday, October 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
