Check out the all-new iMore header!
Look all the way up! iMore got a shave and a haircut! Well, no. It's a lot more than that. A lot more design. A lot more code. A lot more work. And a lot more smarts. The new iMore header is a reflection of our growth over the last year and the many more stories, and types of stories we're covering. Our old wedding-cake navigation menu got us through some great times, don't get me wrong, but it was static, it was manual, and it was already past its limit. Our new header is fluid, responsive, dynamic, and gives us a foundation from which to grow even better, faster.
We have a variant of the iMore logo top left, and little Mobile Nations brand beside it. Then we have our main sections, the ones for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, for how to and the best, for apps and games, for our shows and for our forums and store. Next is the search, your profile and account, and the hamburger menu. Yeah. Ham. Burger. Click or tap on the hamburger and you get the sidebar where you can quickly browse the latest news, features, apps, games, reviews, forums posts, how to, contests, and podcasts, contact us, read more about us, follow us on all the social things, and see what's popular right now.
The story blocks on the home page will show you what our editors think are the most important pieces from the last few days, the stuff you really don't want to miss. On the inner pages, those smarts will start to take over and we'll show you a mix of what's new, what's recommended, and what's popular.
At the bottom we have the hot topics that everyone wants to know more about, including us!
All this brought to you by the minds of Marcus and Kevin, the pixels of David and Jose, and the bits of Tom, Steph, Mike, Nav, and the iMore/Mobile Nations tech team.
Since it's brand spanking new, there could be a few glitches at first. If you notice anything, please let us know! We'd also love your feedback on the new design and functionality both. I realize people can be change-adverse, but please do give it a real try, and some time, and then leave a comment below with any thoughts and suggestions you might have.
It was made entirely for you, after all, and to make sure you have an even better experience here at iMore.

Check out the all-new iMore header!
I like the look.
But accessibility-wise... keyboard navigation is broken. It's out of order..
very confusing, and I'm a sighted user!
How does it fare with screen-readers?
A for aesthetics, C for coding ;)
I alerted our tech team. That's really important to us, thanks for pointing it out.
Do any of your site coders test iMore via Flipboard? It renders to full-desktop and is difficult to read; One of the only sites of scores I have subscribed to that remains Flipboard-unfriendly.
And a pro tip for anyone using a MacBook, the feature blocks at the top of the homepage will respond to a swipe left and right to scroll through them all :)
This site, like most sites today have become over monitized. It's becoming difficult to read and view the content through the advertising. I have stopped viewing the site because of the over use of ads. If it wasn't for the imore app, I would read no more… imore.
Sent from the iMore App
Care to share why? There are no ads between posts and generally everything (so long as you're logged in) is well out of the way of any article text and is off to the side. Just want to make sure you're not seeing something we're not aware of.
And you know...we do need to get paid for doing this :) It is our job, after all!
I couldn't agree more, getting paid is important. As jhulgan and Mr.Bael mentioned. The adds are not inside the articles, that's a plus. As well as the adds on the side of the page are not the problem. The challenge as a reader is when the adds are inserted between the articles or when the adds consume more than the content. Using my iPad, I see three large adds directly below your new beautiful banner. There is also a substantial amount of unused white space after the content. Don't get me wrong, the iMore "App" is my first read every morning. You may be able to relocate the adds and maintain that fresh look to go with your new banner.
Sent from the iMore App
For me all ads are on the right hand side of the screen in a different column. I appreciate that the ads are not in the articles.
I agree. I have a 30" monitor and it still looks very large to me. I'm not a huge fan of blue either, so it all seems kind of icky IMO, but I realise that I'm far from being in the majority with that feeling.
Glad to see that you didn't go with the pop-over/slide-down things that all the other sites are using (at least not too much). Those are really annoying.
I like it. Too bad the color's still blue on the tiles I hover my cursor upon. Still. It's refreshing.
This looks fresh & fantastic, Rene; you guys have a great site!
Only thought is that perhaps it's a bit too much blue, as Alpha Tauri mentions. Perhaps the featured story tiles should all be blue shaded, except when hovering over them (in which case the natural color would show)? Or, have them all their natural colors and shade it blue when hovering over a story one might click on.
I like it. Looks cleaner.
I am enjoying it so far but I can't see where to log-in to the sites, it is showing the blue colour and not the icon's after 'Shop'. I have to use IE11 at work.
I love this site but can't say I am a fan of the new header. It's probably just me but I don't like the idea of having to scroll through the top articles on the home page. I know it sounds petty but it creates an unnecessary step. I might like it on my iPad but not on my desktop computer. I prefer being able to see all the top stories at once and then just clicking on the the link for that article. To me, the best designed sites are those that require a minimum amount scrolling. Just my opinion.
The beauty of this set up is more (many, many more) featured articles up there every day. The old set up was a little restricted :)
Overall I like the design and the color choices. My only critique is the same that I have with the Android Central site. I go to one site and then click the links to navigate to the other sites in the mobile nations network. Before there were links to the other mobile nations sites at both the top and bottom of the page, but now they are only at the bottom. Could we possibly get some small links to the other mobile nations sites at the top as well? Overall it is a small issue and possibly only affects me, but possibly bothers others as well?
I like it, Rene. Looks sharp.
The only thing that seems odd is the mobile nations logo/drop down. It's not intuitively clear to me what it's for, and what will happen if I tap or click there. It also appears off vertical centre with the iMore logo and the orange glow doesn't match your colour scheme.
Perhaps a down arrow next to iMore with "other Mobile Nations sites" or something would be more clear.
Kudos, iMore team!

Good: The new look is nicer than the old one, cold starts (first load of main page) are faster than the old one
Bad: Scrolling is very jerky when page is not fully loaded (i.e. post has finished loading, but not other components)
Congrats for achieving the awesome look guys! No complains other than some minor bugs. Keep it up!
I usually look at iMore on my iPhone and recently it has been a mess. It looks like it's an incomplete website for their mobile version and I'm not sure if it's because of that new banner or what but it's near impossible to navigate. I read AC also and their mobile site is of course updates with that banner as well, but on iMore it's literally text on a white page. It looks like old mobile sites before we had smartphones. Where everything was just long and in one line and not formatted. I don't know if any one else has this problem accessing the mobile site in Safari. Desktop site looks great though. Love the banner.
Now how about push-notifications for the iMore app.. ;)
Sent from the iMore App
I admire the changes BUUTTTTTTT
the mobile version of imore is a pain in the a** to use. Everytime I scroll up or down the top bar pops up taking about an inch of screen real estate to read articles. More annoying then anything. Maybe if you just code the bar to appear ONLY when you scroll all the way to the top.
I like the new design. but the ads seem more intrusive now.

Hi, HRJ! Seven years ago I would have been at LLL in Kensington MD -- does that ring a bell? I'm in central NJ now and used to go to LLL meetings in Rocky Hill.
In terms of your best bet for a structured carrier for a toddler, I have used and loved both Bobas and Kinderpacks. I have a super-tall, super-heavy 4 year old and she still fits quite well into the Kinderpack (it's a toddler size, so it's much bigger than most SSCs). The Boba is a really well-designed carrier too, and definitely taller in the body than the Ergo, although it's not as wide at the base as the Kinderpack. I think the footrests help a lot with baby's leg comfort and leg positioning to make up for that, though.
I haven't ever gotten my hands on a Bamberoo, and when I tried an O and A I didn't care for it much -- especially the lack of a chest clip. I find that most moms need a chest clip for a back carry to keep the straps from slipping on their shoulders. Of course, these things are really a question of personal preference, body size and frame build, and baby's size! Carriers are a lot like shoes or jeans -- what fits one person will not necessarily fit another.
If you haven't already, you might want to check out the SSC forum at The Babywearer: there are a ton of threads on these carriers and you can search pretty easily.
You can also check out the FSOT forums there as well as here to see if you can get a good deal on a gently used one so that you're not buying new on some of these, especially the harder to find ones.
More generally speaking, I see it a lot that with the more choices we have, the more we drive ourselves crazy trying to find the "best" or "perfect" carrier. Although the thrill of the hunt can be a lot of fun, it can also drive a mama mad! When my first was little and the original Ergos came out, it was such a vast improvement over what was then available it was like a revolution -- and many people got and loved Ergos, myself included, because I had been wearing my son in a big bulky frame backpack before that. These days there have been so many variations and new brands that it's almost paralyzing -- but if the Ergo was the only choice compared to say a Snugli or Baby Bjorn you'd probably be perfectly happy, and getting one of the four carriers you mention above, you'll probably be pretty happy too because all are good options generally speaking. So this is all a very long way of saying -- don't let the imaginary "perfect" be the enemy of the good. The point is to be comfortable, get your baby on your back, and get out and enjoy life with your hands free!
Best, Jane

Oh my gosh!!! Yes, that is where I know you from. I was a religious attendee at the Kensington, MD LLL group at that time!!!! I tried on the O and A and didn't like it. I bought a Boba. Thanks!

Hoardes of US muscle-car spotters are able to reach truly truly heroic levels of detail obsession. To them, this is a new Mustang. Ford says so too, pointing out that every panel bar the roof is new. But to the rest of us it looks pretty similar to the old one. Which means it lacks the novelty and impact of the Dodge Challenger and Chevy Camaro.
Never mind, it's a Mustang and that's not a bad thing to be, a cheery tonic in these grim times for Detroit. And it gets a bit more power from more efficient engines. The previously fairly cheapskate cabin has been reworked out of better quality stuff too, to boost the sharp retro-design cues.
In other Ford news, the Fusion saloon has had a makeover. Just as well, as it's a big seller and important to the company's day-to-day health. The engines are more economical than the Toyota Camry or Honda Accord competition. That'll please the politicos who accuse Detroit of being behind on the green game. There's also a hybrid Fusion.

Rated 3.9 out of 5�by 40 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by msheker know what you are buying! When i was about 10 my taught me a lot about golf and i played courses until i was about 13-14 when baseball and football drew all im interest. I am currently 26 and was looking to start playing golf again. I went into a dicks sporting goods and discussed this set and another with one of the associates there. The one warning he gave me is that if i am a baseball player and i need to really be concious of club head swing. As anyone who is aware of the game of golf knows you dont need to obliterate the ball off the tee as much as you need to be consistent and accurate. IF you swing the tee driver like a baseball the head will break off eventually. Watch you club head speed and this is a great set to learn to play golf with. The irons have a little sweet spot outlined on the head to help with consistency. The golf bag isnt very good but it works, I also am not a fan of the putter but the driver rescue club and irons are ver much worth the money for anyone learning to play or in my case relearning.

Rated 1 out of 5�by Golf2342 Do not buy, it's awful. Don't buy this product. The head flew off the driver after roughly 40 swings. When I used the fairway driver, the head also broke off after about 90 swings. The irons and putter seem to be fine. I didn't expect much out of an $100 set, but I expected it to last longer.

They already have a few guys qualified for Olympics from last year. Now France wins 184 at a qualifier. Way to go France!
They already have a few guys qualified for Olympics from last year. Now France wins 184 at a qualifier. Way to go France!
Yeah France is very good in greco last year they took in world championship silver in 66kg and 74kg bronze and 120kg 5th place. And now Melonin Noumonvi win first greco qualifier tournament in 84kg.
France has always emphasized GR over FS, not surprising considering the origins of GR. They've produced some really good wrestlers over the years, like Ghani Yalouz who was a multiple world finalist and medalist. Used to watch the French GR team at the Concord (CA) Greco tournament when the Russians, Germans and some of the former Eastern Block countries participated.
I seen that too, I wonder if they will create some new good athletes
A question for everyone here. One of the MMA arts France is very good at is European style kickboxing, as well as Judo and Greco. My BJJ is just dandy here in Brazil but I am looking actively for places to train in Greco Roman and where in France would anyone say that the best training centers are????????
If (besides NY) their were a place I could train in all of my related arts and mostly Wrestling, Id be a happy camper
The best training center in France is the Olympic center (INSEP) in Paris, the best greco and freestyle wrestlers train hard here

Bus users taken for a ride over 100 per cent ticket price hike?
Last updated at 12:51, Friday, 01 November 2013
Bus passengers in West Cumbria have been left reeling after being hit by huge fare increases.
Passengers using Reays bus services have seen increases of more than 100 per cent in some cases.
Margaret Andrews, 59, of Allonby, was shocked when she got on the bus to Workington last Wednesday and was told that the fare had risen from £4.80 for a return to £5.50 each way, with no option of a return ticket.
She has written to Workington MP Sir Tony Cunningham asking for his help on the issue.
Mrs Andrews said: "I was disappointed and shocked. I knew there was an increase coming because there was a notice on the buses but I didn't expect it to be that sort of increase. I thought it might be 20p or 30p."
She used to visit Workington for shopping twice a week but said she would cut that to once a week because of the new fares and walk to Prospect, over an hour away, to get a Stagecoach bus if she could to save money.
Mary Bainbridge, centre co-ordinator at West Cumbria Trades Hall Centre in Workington, said unemployed people using its services had been hit by the price rises.
The centre provides access to support, training, education and employment for unemployed people.
Mrs Bainbridge said one man getting on the bus to travel from Dearham to Maryport last week had been told that his journey back would cost £4 rather than the £1.70 he had paid previously.
She added: "It's only £3.20 to go on the Stagecoach bus from Maryport to Workington and back.
"If you're an unemployed person it's going to take some of your food budget or gas or electricity budget.
"People are going to be stuck and have to either walk it or ask someone for money."
Sir Tony said several constituents had contacted him about the rises and he would write to Reays asking for an explanation.
He said: "It's not only been a huge hike in cost, it's the surprise. To find out when you get on the bus that it's gone up more than 100 per cent is a shock.
"People deserve an explanation and there should have been a greater warning of substantial price rises."
A spokesman for Reays said: "The 35, 36, 58 and 60 bus services are now being run entirely on a commercial basis for the first time since 1998. This means the revenue generated solely by passengers' bus fares must at least cover the drivers' wages, fuel and vehicle costs to make the routes a viable proposition.
"It is not easy to do this on predominantly rural services like these, which travel long distances through more sparsely populated areas and have fewer passengers to attract, unlike in big cities. With no subsidies any longer, it means these fares had to rise.
"The fares structure has also been simplified, with just single or weekly tickets now available. Minimum fares have been increased because there had only been minimal rises in these for many years while the services were subsidised.
"Fares have been brought into line too with corresponding distances on other services we run in other parts of the county.
"We're trying to give our regular passengers the best service and best value we possibly can.
"But it comes back to the fact that if you don't have enough people travelling on your buses throughout the week, you cannot afford to run them with individual fares from as little as 95p, not when they are being run on a commercial basis without any subsidy."

Have your say
Is it not enough for Reays to make a number of drivers redundant in the earlier stages of this year that they are going to make more loose jobs because folk are not getting the buses? All down to management greediness. I feel for the drivers as it is not their fault and they are on the front line. Come on Mr Reay get on a bus and be the face for a change!
Stiick with stagecoach you no what you are getting not the newest buses but they are replacing them well done

After landing a client, the designer's first chore is to communicate and develop the initial idea, whether it's a storyboard for a film or ad, or a multifaceted marketing campaign for a product or service. Learn how to transform a client's request into a presentable concept in this course. Craig Smallish walks through the development process for various creative scenarios, from assessing the client and the scope of the job to free-associating and sketching your ideas. Learn to create descriptive copy to accompany your visuals and create iteration after iteration of your design. Finally, Craig shows how to choose your strongest idea through a process of refinement.
The refined sketch can also be referred to as a final comprehensive or final comp. These are the detailed concept images that we present to our client. Generally, they're executed to a level that clearly illustrates every aspect of a concept. Including how the concept is going to play out across the selected media platforms. Often times they'll include photo or illustration style references so the client can understand how the imagery may look and feel in its final form.
In many cases, illustrators draw the final comp sketches to ensure more skillful renderings. Often our final comps will be the first opportunity our client has to review the solutions we've been working on. Final comps are one step beneath the finished publication ready design and while they are detailed renderings. they typically aren't so refined that the client would confuse them with being a finished design. Producing them in this way gives the creator two things.
First, it allows us the ability to present to our client detailed concept solutions without spending valuable resources on studio time, photography, illustration, video or other assets before the concept has been mutually agreed upon. Second, when we produce final comps in sketch form, it gives the creators the wiggle room needed to make adjustments before producing the final design solutions. Inevitably, there are many times when slight changes are made but since these are still in the proposal stage, clients need not necessarily participate.
If we were to submit our final comps as super tight renditions of the concept, we could run the risk of our client falling in love with the visuals just the way they are. And, later on, having to negotiate any needed changes with the client who expected the finished design to look exactly like those final comps. These are the next to last step in our concept development process. Functioning as a prototype model comes clearly illustrates what our concept is for the client.
And for the designer, the comp is a blueprint for production.

You're a Dead Woman… In the Pink Ghetto
Women have been the unsung and UNPAID heroes during key periods of societal change and transition. The Pink Ghetto, a term that was coined in 1983, describes the limits women have in furthering their careers. Our nation is clearly in the midst of change and transition. As we reboot, reset, and restart – let's not, once again, leave women to live out their years in the pink ghetto.

Shares of First Solar Inc. (FSLR: Charts, News) the world's number two provider of solar cells, rose +2.62 per share, or +21.25 percent on Tuesday, after the company announced plans to ramp up its production at its plant in Germany, which was slated for closure in October of this year. Furthermore, First Solar disclosed late Monday that it had signed contracts for the construction of two large utility projects for Australian energy provider AGL Energy. First Solar stock recently hit an all-time low price of $11.43 per share earlier this month. The company's stock has been steadily declining since early 2011 when it was trading over $150 per share. First Solar's stock price had approached $300 per share in mid 2009 after having its IPO at a price of $20 per share in 2006. Daily Chart Tempe, Arizona based First Solar Inc. is considered the world's second largest producer of photovoltaic (PV) modules. The company, founded in 1990 uses cadmium telluride or CdTe as a semiconductor producing solar panels far more efficiently and at a lower cost than with crystalline silicon. Tuesday's strong upward move in the company's stock came after it announced it would increase production at its facility near the Polish border in Germany after disclosing in April it would be shutting the plant down in October. First Solar maintains it will still close the facility, but that it would ramp up production until October after which it would taper off until closing the plant at the end of the year. The plant, which employs about 1,200 people, will continue in operation due to increased demand for First Solar's products in Germany, which is the world's largest market for solar energy. In addition, First Solar operates a second plant in Frankfurt which has been operating at reduced hours since early this year and will also increase production. Furthermore, First Solar announced late Monday that it was selected to design, construct and maintain two utility scale solar photovoltaic power projects which would total 159 megawatts for Australian energy company, AGL Energy Limited. The project is part of Australia's Solar Flagships Program, a government project providing state and federal funding for Australia's commitment to investment in renewable energy generation. Other developments at First Solar include its partnering with Intermolecular IMI to develop methods for raising the efficiency of its solar panels. First Solar set a new world record in January, when its CdTe PV module reached a total area efficiency of 14.4 percent, which followed its CdTe solar cell efficiency of 17.3 percent. Cadmium telluride photovoltaic or CdTe consist of a technology for PV based on cadmium telluride thin film, which acts as a semiconductor absorbing sunlight and converting it into electricity. CdTe technology is a much cheaper solar cell production alternative than crystalline silicon. After several years of steep declines in the price of First Solar stock, the underlying fundamentals for the company appear to be improving. Whether recent developments will be enough to lift the stock's price to previous levels remains to be seen.

comimg out of the mountains,
Crossing into Ar.
from Hot spring AR, we took th 270 into Pine Bluff, and stayed the night there. in the morning we got on the 425, a two lane road through very scenic southern AR, and into LA. once we crossed into LA the weather changed for the better pretty quickly. actually saw some sun and the wind pretty much disappeared.
We took the 165 into Monroe LA and after cruising a very nice neghborhood, trying to find Bill's house (GPS din't show it) we finally found it. did some catching up on old times and swapping kid stories etc. then Bill and Susie and their beautiful daughter Jenny took us on a sight seeing tour of the Black Bayou.
Jill eating crawfish at a restaurant on the Black Bayou.
Sunset on the Bayou.
we had a great time visiting with Bill and Susie. they were kind enough to put us up in there house for the night. in the morning they had to get to work and we got on the road, well at least down the street to the Waffle House. Bill and Susie have listed their house and are planning a move back to CA. hope to see them soon.
after some great waffles, got on the 165 to Alexandria, then the 49 into Lafayette and had some more fantastic cajun food at Prejean's (Bill's recommendation), 11ft. gator in the entryway means good cajun.
the "love bugs" were out in force "conected to each other", making a double splat on the wind shield and face mask. sounded like small gravel bouncing off my helmet, and it went on for miles.
After lunch we got on the 31S through small towns and neighborhoods. some of the small towns aren't so good about posting signs, so you really have to keep your eys open. the temp went up to the mid 70's, actually, had to pull over and lose my liner, nice for a change.
we finally worked our way to Houma via the 182 and the 90. good ride, but sometimes the back roads can make for a long day without making many miles. we did about 340 miles today, but again saw good scenery.
Again, we found a good cajun place to have dinner, appetizer of Boudin (cajun sausage), red fish with lemon sauce and almonds, and Jill had red fish dish that we can't spell (french), but it had a red sauce and chunks of fish, and was really good. (Boudreaux and tibaodaux cajun cooking).
memorable things from the last two days of riding: smell of fresh cut grass, the medians and shoulders are all grass and they seem to be mowing all the time. large vines hanging from tress, bugs, green. incredible estates and incredible shacks, sometimes right next to each other. poverty and wealth are so close it's kind of weird, road kill, the stars and bars still flying in the south, saw two today. old cars/ trucks in front yards. really good food !

Donkey Kong heads back to the platforming jungle this week, ending his long break from the genre that launched his career post-Mario. Kept quiet until Nintendo's E3 press conference this year, Donkey Kong Country Returns is a nod to the famous ape's '90s games and is packed with features that are aimed at nostalgic players.

Themed around the 25th anniversary of Mario, the Super Mario All-Stars pack contains Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario Bros. 3 all on one disc that's playable on the Wii. On top of that there's also a soundtrack and a short text and pictorial look at the history of gaming's most iconic character. The Super Mario All-Stars bundle will also be released on Thursday.
Rounding out the week's releases are The Sly Collection, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, and FIFA Manager 11. While the end-of-year slowdown kicks off next week, there are still a handful of games due out, one of them being World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, and AU Shippin' Out will be covering them until the end, so keep watching this space for updated release dates.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A final report on a 2009 collision in San Diego Harbor says failure by a Coast Guard boat operator to drive his craft safely led to the crash and subsequent death of an 8-year-old boy.
The report released Thursday night by the Coast Guard also cites failures of the crew and commanders at the guard's San Diego station, but places primary blame on the boat's driver, Petty Officer 3rd Class Paul Ramos.
Ramos was at the controls of the fast-moving boat on Dec. 20, 2009 during the San Diego Parade of Lights when it rammed into a pleasure boat in the harbor for the holiday festival.
Eight-year-old Anthony DeWeese was killed and 10 others injured.
Ramos was sentenced in 2010 to three months in the brig for dereliction of duty.

Blu-ray compatibility at a great price, but poor usability and performance. Overall, the CR610-013UK is a competent entry-level media centre and its combination of a stunning screen and Blu-ray compatibility is a rare find at this price. Unfortunately, its poor usability and limited performance prevent it from achieving our highest recommendation.

Rating: Total score: 70%
ATI Radeon HD 4200: Onboard graphics adapter (RS880M chipset) with UVD2 (PIP support) and DX 10.1 support (compared to the older HD 3200). Beware, possibly no 2D acelleration in Windows XP (as the HD3200).
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

16.0": 16 inch display-variants exist since 2008 and partially got the market share of 15 inch notebooks. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.5 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI), is a Taiwan based computer hardware manufacturer since 1986 best known for desktop computer motherboards. MSI also designs and manufactures graphics cards, barebone PCs, notebook computers, networking products, servers, multimedia, consumer electronics, and storage devices. MSI, as most Taiwanese computer manufacturers, sells products on OEM/ODM basis. It also sells products worldwide based on its own brand name "MSI". The market share of laptops with the MSI brand is rather low.

nurse practitioners, geriatricians, et cetera, that is a whole different level of expertise [for training purposes] than a
medical student." Dr. Sanders echoed this point, suggesting that a consensus be developed for "What does the geriatrician
need to know?" "What does the primary care physician . . . and the paramedic need to know at various levels?" Another suggestion
was that education and training programs be evaluated to ensure their effectiveness.
In addition to training within each individual discipline, Dr. Mosqueda noted the importance of cross-discipline training,
but said: "As physicians, we must admit that we are notoriously bad about going to multidisciplinary training." Dr. Paveza
agreed, pointing out that it is difficult to get groups to cross-training, but that it is crucial to understanding the concerns
of others who are part of multidisciplinary teams. Dr. Paveza noted that one way to increase attendance was to mandate training
as part of license renewal.
While this education initiative will not be an easy task, educating medical school students and physicians about elder abuse
and neglect is paramount to the successful eradication of elder abuse and neglect. One way to get doctors to understand the
medical importance of abuse is to compare it to chronic disease, said Dr. Mark Lachs, co-chief of geriatrics and gerontology
at Cornell University's Weill Medical College. "This [abuse and neglect] has as much . . . mortality associated with it as
all the other chronic diseases they normally treat . . . family violence victims of any age behave in the health system like
people with chronic disease," he said.
To convince medical schools to teach students about elder abuse, geriatricians need to do more research, activists need to
work to change policy, and elder deaths need to become "noteworthy," said Dr. Dyer, associate professor at Baylor College
of Medicine, Texas. "Do you ever read about it in the newspaper—how somebody who was actively neglecting somebody [else] is
prosecuted? Doctors are not reading that in the newspaper. It is not important," said Dyer. Many physicians regard elder abuse
and neglect as "just a social issue."
Increased research, grants, and papers can convince medical school curriculum committees that elder abuse is an important
medical issue, but that still will be a struggle. "When we developed the California training center for areas of all violence
education ... we had people advocating at the University of California regents level, which mandates training in all of our
University of California medical schools in order to get family violence on the curriculum of our seven California medical
schools, and have not yet been successful ... that arena is not very promising," said Dr. Wendy Wright of the Children's Hospital
in San Diego, California.
At present, there is no consensus on how to train physicians on elder neglect and abuse. "One thing would be to develop a
consensus: What does a geriatrician need to know? I'm actually surprised it is not in the curriculum and in the examination
... what does a primary care physician, what does a paramedic need to know at various levels?" said Dr. Arthur Sanders, professor
of emergency medicine at the University of Arizona.
Geriatricians can work state by state to make sure there are questions about aging on State board examinations, just as many
States now include questions about violence on their nursing exams. Other policy changes can create financial incentives for
schools to change their training. States can require medical schools that receive public funds to designate an elder abuse
expert at the school. On a Federal level, Medicare can create incentives for medical schools to train more geriatricians,
Dyer noted.
Doctors who already are licensed also need to be trained in elder abuse and neglect.
Physicians are required, under law, to report abuse. "There were physicians that were prosecuted in the child abuse arena
for failing to report, and there is some value in that from a law enforcement perspective, to inspire others to come forward,"
said David Hoffman, assistant United States attorney in Philadelphia. Some doctors resist investigating elder abuse or neglect
because of fear of testifying; others do so because they fear lawsuits or because they do not want to report colleagues to
"A lot of what we are facing are often really instances of medical malpractice which triggers off abuse, [including] misuse
of medications, withholding of visits," said Dr. Carl Eisdorfer, chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
at the University of Miami. To increase the chances for bringing such malpractice to attention, Dr. Eisdorfer suggested adopting
the "impaired physician" model, in which physicians who have problems with substance abuse can be reported and "will get help
rather than prosecutorial attention." In other cases, "doctors don't like to see lawyers because they have this vision of
being cross-examined on the stand and getting involved and, if you do this, you may have to hire your own lawyer to protect
you," said Dr. Eisdorfer. Attorneys and doctors need to be able to look at their colleagues' reports and judge whether abuse
might be happening despite—or because of—their colleagues' efforts.
On a practical level, doctors tend to resist "interdisciplinary" or "multidisciplinary" training, preferring training developed
specifically for physicians. "As physicians, we must admit that we are notoriously bad about going to multidisciplinary trainings,"
said Dr. Laura Mosqueda, director of geriatrics at the University of California-Irvine Medical Center, whereas nurses, social
workers, and law enforcement officers are far more willing to participate.
To encourage doctors to attend multidisciplinary trainings, groups that offer them should also offer continuing medical education
(CME) credits for doctors and continuing legal education (CLE) credits for lawyers, which are requirements for renewing a
license to practice in many States. "It is a nice carrot, and sometimes both the physicians and the lawyers are looking for
something out of the ordinary when they're going to do that, that is more than just the humdrum stuff that they may be doing
every day and reading the journals on every day," said Dr. Ian Hood, deputy medical examiner, Philadelphia. In particular,
quality assurance credits for continuing medical education are required, and difficult to obtain, said Dr Rosalie Wolf, executive
director at the University of Massachusetts Memorial healthcare Institute of Aging.
Changing doctors' behavior is more than just a matter of giving CME credit, noted Dr. Sanders. He added: "There is a literature
on changing physician behavior, and the trap is [that] you put on a CME course and you think people visit, or you send out
a position statement from a professional society, and you think people are doing it . . . there are mechanisms of [changing
behavior], some through regulation, some through feedback of physician leaders, various things like that."
Social work students are not being taught even the most basic facts about the lives of older adults. "I don't know personally
of any graduate schools of social work that offer curricula in elder abuse, and that is a big gap," said Joanne Otto, administrator
of APS in Colorado. The National Association for Adult Protective Services Administrators is developing standards for training,
but, so far, there are no Federal guidelines for training.
Ignorance of elder issues is pervasive in colleges, down to the very textbooks assigned to students. "As an example, several
years ago at a meeting I went through a gob of textbooks, literally hundreds of textbooks on human development," said Paveza.
"All of them had five chapters on child development, seven chapters on adult development, and a half-chapter on old age and
development of the elder adult. We need to make sure that our professionals. . . at a basic level know about geriatrics, and
know about aging, and what is the normal aging process." Medical residents and professional students also need to learn about
basic aging issues, so they can identify adults who are showing unusual symptoms and answer the question, "What does a pattern
begin to look like that should lead you to suspect that abuse and neglect is occurring?" said Dr. Paveza.
In some States, law enforcement personnel already are learning about elder abuse as part of their basic curriculum at the
police academy. State legislatures in California and elsewhere have passed laws mandating training in elder abuse for law
enforcement personnel and allocating the money to provide it, said Candace Heisler, consultant and trainer for the San Francisco
District Attorney's Office.
In South Carolina, police academy instructors train recruits in legal issues surrounding elder abuse and indicators of abuse.
Pictures of the physical impact of neglect on the body are particularly useful, said Randolph Thomas, police officer and law
enforcement instructor at the Criminal Justice Academy in South Carolina. He commented: "Most of my police officers know what
a gunshot wound is. They do not know what a pressure sore looks like, and when you start showing them pictures, they start
to have a frame of reference. That may be the most important thing, just that cognitive framework that says, `Okay, this may
or may not be abuse.' " Police officers want training and are capable of learning technical information about abuse and neglect.
"They can tolerate a high level of sophistication, as long as it is done in laymen's terms," Thomas added.
Like many other entry-level workers, most police academy students are in their mid-20s and have difficulty sympathizing with
and understanding older adults. Thomas said: "Somebody needs to teach them about the process of aging . . . . They need to
know how this works, that not everybody who is 85 is impaired, and a lot of my officers think they are." Many of their complainants
will be elderly and could be good witnesses if the officers knew how to work with them. "I have certainly seen a 23-year-old
recently promoted to detective conduct a photo ID with an 85-year-old mugging victim in a way that was obviously not going
to lead to a useful result, just because of a lack of knowledge about the kind of person the detective was dealing with,"
said Hood. Older adults are not always eager to work with young officers, either. Thomas commented that he sometimes hears
older adults say "Send me back a real adult."
Unfortunately, the police need constant retraining. "Our State is turning over about 20, 25 percent of our police officers
every year . . . It is a sign of a good economy," said Thomas. He stressed that training on elder abuse needs to be institutionalized
and performed over and over again. Constant retraining can be exhausting for the trainers. "In our county. . . we have 26
different police departments. And with the high turnover, it just feels like you're lecturing to a parade sometimes," said
Mosqueda. This problem is not limited to policemen. "It is also important in a lot of different fields we're addressing here:
APS, nursing homes," said Dr. Erik Lindbloom, assistant professor at the University of Missouri. "Residency training, by design,
has a 100-percent turnover over a 3-year period in internal medicine and family practice, for example," said Lindbloom.
California's training for police officers teaches basic awareness of aging issues, plus information on effectively reporting
elder abuse, including scene preservation and evidence collection. "[This] translates into prosecutable cases where a crime
can be shown and a perpetrator can be identified," said Heisler. In California, advanced training on these topics is especially
important because State law "authorizes law enforcement to seize assets where a public guardian is going to pursue a conservatorship
. . . and where they have a basis for concluding . . . a conservatorship would be appropriate," commented Heisler—that is,
where the State takes over the care of an older victim of abuse or neglect.
California officials have developed a repository of training films on aging issues for distance learning through the State's
Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), Heisler said. These films are distributed to the 500-plus police
departments in the State. "Through telecourses, we bring other prosecutors in, we bring law enforcement in to explain to them
how you do these cases," said Heisler. The National Center for Elder Abuse in Washington, D.C., also plans to collect training
materials for different disciplines, for a sort of national repository. Other California training courses also involve aging
issues; the State's domestic violence training course includes a session on domestic violence in later life.
In Florida, an interdisciplinary team including a psychologist and geriatric nursing specialist has visited 25 percent of
State police departments with a multimedia presentation on elder neglect and abuse, said Dr. Eisdorfer. In the future, trainers
in South Carolina and Florida need to train more trainers. "It is pretty impractical to expect someone like Randy [Thomas]
to continue traveling all over the State, all over the county, to do these presentations when we could be training people
locally to do the same thing, [so they could] really take it under their wing as a cause at their medical school, at their
agency, at their nursing home," said Dr. Lindbloom.
Prosecutors, however, are not nearly as well informed as law enforcement officials. "They do not have to receive training
about this subject in law school, and they certainly do not have to have it for professional development in a prosecutor's
office," said Heisler, although California's District Attorneys' Association offers a 3-day training course on the topic each
year. The National College of District Attorneys has also added elder domestic violence and elder abuse to its roster of training
Public health workers also need education about elder neglect and abuse. "We have talked about how unresponsive hospitals
are. Maybe we need to start educating the hospital administrators, the people in health policy and management who will run
. . . local health departments, [who] can raise community awareness of this, and [who] are the people . . . running the outpatient
clinics, the hospitals, the places where it might be seen, about what is needed to support the healthcare professionals [to]
do both the detecting and reporting," said Dr. Catherine Hawes, professor at the Texas A&M University School of Rural Public
Another group that needs training are "nurse surveyors and complaint investigators, and [employees of] State agencies who
are charged . . . with investigating complaints in residential long-term care settings," said Dr. Hawes, and there is real
importance in involving them on multidisciplinary teams.
Ms. Nerenberg suggested taking it one step farther to teach "health and social services providers, APS workers, some of the
medical or health indicators they may need to know about." Ms. Connolly, with the U.S. Department of Justice, suggested training
for firefighters, paramedics, ambulance EMTs, and other first responders, who often have no training in detection of elder
abuse and neglect. She also suggested helping frontline responders develop internal screening protocols to analyze suspected
elder abuse or neglect, document it, and, where appropriate make a report or referral to APS or law enforcement.

Congratulations James Cameron, you've finally done it. You have cemented yourself as the biggest asshole of the twenty first century.
James Cameron had the gall to write and direct the most expensive movie ever made, and base it on the characters his "Special Needs" son drew on the wall at school during clay-eating class. Avatar did to cinema what the earthquake did to Haiti, if after the earthquake someone was spiteful enough to hover over the island in a helicopter blasting "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC and dropping Lunchables covered in battery acid.
The following is the actual transcript I made up between James Cameron and the studio investors at FOX during their initial project meeting:
James Cameron teabagged the world with Avatar, and got away with it. Right now his salty metaphorical sack of condescension is still dragging slowly across the vast forehead of the globe, snatching up both the young and old into its sweaty folds. Why don't you make a movie about that James?
Why not write something about how these people abducted by your ball sack over the course of its transcontinental teabagging come together and start a new society called Sacktopia?
Too bad for you I already did
Upon the wrinkly grounds of Sacktopia schools are being built, businesses are flourishing, and a new world order is beginning to drop. The protagonist is Zak, a paraplegic space marine (because the academy loves cripples 'n shit) with a heart of gold that was sent to Sacktopia from Earth on a mission to obtain natural resources or some shit. He also might be gay, I'm open to suggestions.
Anyways, Zak talks to this one dude and a bunch of space ships fly by. Zac also bangs this Sacktopian native chick, or a guy (like I said I'm flexible). There also isn't any notion of race on James Cameron's metaphorical sack because on Sacktopia, everyone is the same type of person: the kind who pays fifteen bucks to see three hours of animated blue cats flying around.
Soon Sacktopia is at the zenith of its decadent Pink Age when all the sudden one day it gets very cold. The whole community starts to shrink and collapse in upon itself. Scarcity of land causes the peaceful people of Sacktopia to experience war for the very first time and Zak is forced to choose sides in the fight for a place in this new, nearly inverted world. Then the robots turn on them.
Look who just wrote your next film James. That took me fifteen minutes, ten of which I spent hating you.

DURHAM, NC --- One man's misfortune is often another man's opportunity. That goes for Duke freshman forward Amile Jefferson, who is suddenly a vital component of what No. 3 Duke is trying to achieve. And he's responding pretty well. Losing senior and third-leading scorer Ryan Kelly last week for perhaps the rest of the regular season has forced the Blue Devils to change. Kelly is a true stretch-four - a long forward capable of playing comfortably on the perimeter that could also take his man off the dribble. He can defend anywhere, and is crucial defending in the open court. Jefferson doesn't have those same strengths, so instead of running four players on the perimeter to open space for 6-foot-11 center Mason Plumlee down low, and keeping sharpshooting senior Seth Curry and his bum right leg in manageable situations, Duke had to run a lot more set plays versus Georgia Tech on Thursday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium. "It's tough," Curry said. "We've had to change direction...

'Dark Knight Rises' ads being pulled from television
In the wake of the Colorado shootings, advertising for the newest Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises," is being pulled from some national television networks.
According to the LA Times, NBC, CBS and ESPN are among the first national networks to pull the ads.
Due to the sensitivity of the situation as the story dominated news coverage Friday morning, some networks were yanking advertisements for the film on their own accord, the sources said. In addition, representatives of "Dark Knight Rises" studio Warner Bros. contacted at least one network and asked it to take the step.
Many trailers for the film showed violent portions.
Warner Brothers spent $738.9 million last year to advertise its films.

- 8 slices country white bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 4 small bananas, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
On a clean work surface, lay out 4 slices bread. Spread butter on each piece. Flip over 4 pieces bread and spread 2 tablespoons peanut butter on them. Place 2 ounces chocolate on top of peanut butter, then arrange banana slices on top of chocolate. Top each with a remaining slice of buttered bread. Place 2 sandwiches at a time in a panini maker or grill pan over medium heat (if using a grill pan, top with a sandwich press or heavy plate) and cook for 3 minutes or just until chocolate has melted. Repeat with 2 remaining sandwiches. (Alternate cooking method: Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a saute pan; when hot and bubbly, add 2 sandwiches to pan. Cook for 2 minutes per side or until bread is golden brown and chocolate has melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.)
Slice sandwiches in half or in quarters and serve immediately.
Cook's Note: The sandwiches can be made with a variety of ingredients. For example, replace the chocolate with 1 tablespoon of honey or add cherry or plum jam instead of the bananas and chocolate. Almond butter can be substituted anywhere peanut butter or other nut butters are used.

Men's Basketball Coaching Staff
Tommy Dempsey
Head Coach
Tommy Dempsey has recorded 98 wins in his five years as the Rider University head coach, following a year as the interim head coach, and 82 wins over the last four years, the most wins in program history over a four-year period.
Last season Dempsey led Rider to 23 wins, including victories over the University of Southern California and Texas Christian University, and guided the Broncs to a third postseason tournament in the last four years.
Dempsey, who owns the team record for wins in a season at three different colleges, has sent two players in the last four years to an NBA training camp.
In 2010-11 Dempsey produced the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year and had players on the First, Second and Third Team All-MAAC squads.
In 2007-08 Dempsey was named MAAC Coach of the Year and was also honored with the Peter A. Carlisimo Award as the Division I Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association Coach of the Year.
Dempsey took a team with eight wins in 2006 and led it to 16 wins in 2007 and to a program-best 23 wins in 2008. In seven seasons as a college head coach Dempsey has compiled an overall record of 169-62 (.732).
On an interim basis, Dempsey returned to the head coaching ranks in 2005-06, where he had experienced nothing but success in the past. That year the Broncs had four freshmen and a sophomore among the top eight players on the team and produced an All-MAAC selection and a MAAC All-Rookie Team member.
In 2006-07, his first full year as the head coach, Dempsey's team doubled its win total from the previous season and was the only Division I team in New Jersey (out of eight) to finish with a winning record. It was Rider's sixth winning season in eight years. His first squad as the head coach produced a first team All-MAAC selection and MAAC Defensive Player of the Year.
In 2007-08 Dempsey's team earned the first postseason berth for Rider in ten years when the Broncs competed in the inaugural College Basketball Invitational Tournament, losing at Old Dominion 68-65. The 2007-08 Broncs were one of the most celebrated teams in program history, winning a MAAC regular season championship, establishing a program-best 23 wins and culminating with Jason Thompson becoming the 12th pick by the Sacramento Kings in the NBA draft.
As a head coach prior to Rider, Dempsey took two different institutions to the NJCAA Final Four, including a trip to the National Championship game in 2003. In three years as head coach on the junior college level, Dempsey compiled an 88-12 record including a perfect 46-0 record at home and was twice a finalist for National Coach of the Year honors.
At Lackawanna College, Dempsey reached the Division II National Title Game in 2003 and was the Region 19 and District 9 Coach of the Year, taking a team that was not in the preseason top 40 and finishing National Runner-Up with a school-record 33 wins.
Dempsey spent the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons at Keystone College. He was named the Eastern Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year in 2001 after taking over an 11-12 team and winning 26 games and a conference championship in his first season. In 2001-02 Dempsey's team again won the conference championship, with Dempsey earning Region 19 and District 6 Coach of the Year honors while leading Keystone to the NJCAA Division III Final four and a team-record 29 wins. Dempsey left Keystone after compiling a 55-8 record in two seasons.
Dempsey began his head coaching career at age 24 at Wyoming Seminary Preparatory School in Kingston, Pa., in 1999. Dempsey is a former assistant coach to Frank Marcinek at Susquehanna University where he was a former player. Dempsey was a three-year letter-winner in basketball and team captain in 1996-97 at Susquehanna.
Dempsey received his bachelor's degree from Susquehanna University and master's degree from Bloomsburg University. Dempsey came to Rider from Scranton, Pa. with his wife Amy and children Tommy (11), Emily (10), Brian (4) and Tyler (2). He currently resides in Langhorne, Pa.

Baptizing infants
Why do Lutherans believe it is necessary to baptize infants?
We baptize babies because they are included in the Great Commission, which is a general command, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19, also see Mark 16:15-16).
Scripture does not exclude infants from baptism, rather it indicates that they need to be baptized because they are conceived and born in sin, and they need to be born again to enter the kingdom of God (Psalm 51:5, John 3:5-6). Through Baptism the Holy Spirit works to create or strengthen faith and brings the gifts of forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation (Titus 3:4-7, 1 Peter 3:21, Acts 2:38-39). We should never deprive children of baptism, "the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit."
On the day of Pentecost when Peter told the gathered crowd, "Repent and be baptized." He also said, "The promise is for you and your children" (Acts 2:38-39). Children were included in the command and promise Peter spoke. St. Paul draws a parallel between Old Testament circumcision and Baptism (Colossians 2:11-12). Babies in the Old Testament were to be circumcised on the eighth day after birth.
For more information on infant baptism you may want to read Baptized into God's Family—The Doctrine of Infant Baptism for Today and Baptism: My Adoption into God's Family, both available through Northwestern Publishing House.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Consolidate Our School Districts
Disctricts Should Be Consolidated
Thomas Holliday's Dec. 6 My Turn letter, "Consolidate our School Districts" was right on the mark. I have waited to hear that our school officials are taking the initiative to start this process. Sadly they have not.
Mr. Holliday had very good points in consolidating. A North/South school district, with centralized administrative offices. Redrawing school boundaries to better serve what is needed for enrollment. Eliminating buildings, not needed, reducing infrastructure and overhead costs. This frees up monies that could be put to better use for our teachers and students.
This issue will be a major consideration on how I vote on future levies. I hope that other Kitsap voters consider the same.
