Pumpkins are free with admission (While supplies last ) but you can bring your own gourd if you like.
The city museum is an eclectic mixture of art objects, industrial architecture and a fun house. Visitors are encouraged to climb on the attractions. It has won several awards for being a "must-see" destination.

I was wondering what saga you guys like the most, and what you like about it, its characters, battles, journey, etc. of all that we've had from Kanto-Unova so far.
Feel free to vote in the poll and let me know what Season(s) you guys enjoyed most, and why!
I'll start: my favorite seasons are the first eight (I truthfully wasn't a big fan of Battle Frontier in either dub, though...I don't know why, but it bored me a bit...) and the Unova Saga myself.
Please don't kill me for liking Johto and BW, people. *Takes cover* XD
(I've made it multiple option if you'd like to select your favorites from the bunch as well).
I like the entire OS Saga, despite how much it varies from Kanto to OI to Johto. I felt that everything was just so fresh in the earlier seasons, and it was a show anyone could enjoy. It felt like a really coherent story from start to finish, IMO. :D
In AG, I loved the Hoenn Saga. Initially, I really hated it, because it felt very different from what I was used to. Eventually, I warmed up to May and Max, as well as the AG Group including Ash and Brock, thus loving it.
I didn't like Battle Frontier, though. I mean, Ash actually winning something for the first time since the Orange League was GREAT, but it just felt forced on and was somewhat boring.
Sinnoh...I have a love-hate relationship with it, myself. Either I'll find it mind-blowingly good or plain bad. I guess it depends on the episodes of it for me.
Unova...I'm the oddball in that I feel it's actually a good season despite its various flaws. The only thing I really dislike about it is that the plot hasn't gotten any further to me, and TRio is very awkward in personality in BW.
Your thoughts?

Ten Forward: The Best And Worst Dressed Doctors
How does Matt Smith's bow tie and rolled up trousers compare to past incarnations
The British papers had a great coup Monday when they published the first pictures of Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor in BBC's "Doctor Who" series.
Smith's usage of the "science teacher" outfit has received mixed reviews by fans so far, leaning toward the negative. But that's not the only crazy costume worn by actors portraying the Time Lord over the years.
Let's take a look at what worked ... and what didn't.
1. Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) -- The outfit is actually considered iconic with the role of The Doctor thanks to Tom Baker who played the two-hearted guardian for seven years.
Even "The Simpsons" figured that out. Just put a British accent on a guy wearing a corduroy trench coat with the multi-colored, oversized scarf, and it's the greatest outfit of all time.
In fact, David Tennant's costume is eerily similar, and in the first Christmas special of the modern series, almost actually picked up a scarf when picking out his new outfit to complete his costume but decided against it.
Good thing, too, because there's only one Tom Baker.
2. Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) --Sometimes dressing simple is the best way to go.
That's how Christopher Eccleston reintroduced The Doctor to a new generation of fans when the series returned in 2005 after a very long hiatus. The leather jacket over the simple T-shirt worked in almost all situations, whether it be in the past, present or future.
It also was much more comfortable for a much more physical Doctor, something not really emulated in his later incarnations. It might also be one of the most "normal" outfits The Doctor has ever worn.
3. Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) -- Lacking the simplicity of Eccleston's costume, David Tennant worked to get back to the more classic, classy look of The Doctor with his full-length suit that was once stylish maybe 25 years ago, but made to look chic again.
With the long suit jacket, tightly tied tie, matching vest and casual shoes, Tennant was able to move quickly -- which he had to do a lot thanks to the Daleks, the Cybermen and The Master -- but still could blend into many formal environments that he had to end up in.
The nice thing about the suit is that it definitely was different from most other outfits found on television, but it didn't have to look clownish or cartoonish. The costume should define The Doctor, but at the same time, it certainly shouldn't be distracting.
4. Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) -- The long curly hair, the outfit that screams 17th century French Revolution.
This was The New Doctor. The interesting Doctor. The mysterious Doctor.
It was what BBC reached out to the Fox network to try and revive in 1996 with a Doctor that seemed to have an impeccable memory and could tell the fate of people just by looking at them.
Landing anywhere else, McGann's Time Lord would've been sorely out of place. But in San Francisco? It was pretty much like any other Tuesday there.
Sadly, the audiences didn't turn out for the first revival attempt, and we only got one adventure with scholarly-looking Doctor.
5. First Doctor (William Hartnell) -- Once again, simple and straightforward, and that's what audiences got when they were first shown "Doctor Who" in 1963.
No one quite knew what to make of this show, or this strange old man who lived in a police call box. But you knew that he was stately, intelligent and someone you could trust -- just because of the way he dressed.
Dressing for success is a mantra taught by employment coaches all over the world, and Hartnell definitely was doing just that.
1. Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) -- Yes, I know. We haven't even seen this guy do a single episode yet. But still, what is there to like with this crazy costume?
Bow tie. The ugliest suit jacket ever. Rolled up brown pants, and work boots? He won't have to worry about the Daleks setting to kill him. Instead, Smith should be more concerned about laughing him out of the Tardis.
Of course, the hair probably isn't helping his case either. But this outfit better be explained away by the fact that The Doctor is tired of his companions falling in love with him. Otherwise, Steven Moffat will need to fire his costume people and start over again.
Preferably without a regeneration.
2. Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) -- Some might claim that it was the stories that started to sink "Doctor Who" in the 1980s, but I'm still convinced it was the worst costume of all time, until Matt Smith's Doctor was revealed.
A mish-mash of colors, as if someone ran out of material and decided to just use floor scraps from Cirque du Soleil.
And to top it off, Baker included an umbrella.
Now I have to admit, I didn't see a lot of the Sixth Doctor, but I bet good money that it didn't rain a lot. But if tears were raindrops from fans having to watch this crazy outfit week to week, then Britain would have to call up Noah to help them with the flooding.
I can see now a lot of people who bought color televisions despite the luxury tax on it running back to the store to get their black and whites back just to get through these years of "Doctor Who."
3. Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) -- Even in the 1970s, I bet corpses would not want to be buried in this hideous outfit that Jon Pertwee made us suffer through.
Pertwee was The Doctor that pretty much helped popularize color, but his outfit didn't help. All he had to do was step in front of a wall of baby poo and not even the Yeti would be able to find him.
Doesn't mean that Pertwee's Doctor didn't inspire much. Just take a look at the costumes rock ballad singer Meat Loaf wore in the 1980s.
4. Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison) -- I know this will be an unpopular choice, but the cricket outfit complete with the garnish of celery? Just doesn't do it for me.
I know Tennant's Doctor loved the outfit, at least according to a charity mini-episode a couple years back, but we can't always agree with Tennant, no matter how he ranks on our overall favorite Doctor list.
But for me, nothing screams cheesy 1980s ideas as the costume worn by Peter Davison. It looks silly now, and it's hard to imagine that it didn't look just unoriginal then.
5. Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) -- It's not that Sylvester McCoy's Doctor was dressed badly as it was that he was dressed, well, boring.
I see what the final Doctor before the first cancellation donned, and it make me scared of someday ending up in a funeral home for some reason.
The clothing obviously fit the demeanor of The Doctor here. Laid back, toned down. Worried if he might start drooling in a catnap he suddenly took while playing canasta.
Maybe BBC was gearing for the geriatric demographic, or maybe the aim was for late-night insomniacs. I don't know. But it gives me far more insight on why the network finally said enough was enough.

Bone tumors, Sarcomas, Sarcomas and medical safety
Locations: Main Campus
Appointments and Referrals: 1-800-TRY-CHOP (1-800-879-2467)
- Background
I specialize in sarcomas, which are cancers of connective tissues (such as bones, muscles and tendons). I coordinate the evaluation of patients with sarcomas, supervise their chemotherapy and coordinate their treatment with surgeons, radiation oncologists and other specialists. I am the senior member of our sarcoma team, which has three physicians and a nurse practitioner.
When dealing with complicated diseases like sarcomas, it is important to take the time to do things right. Treating sarcomas involves lots of scans, tests, medicines and consultations with other professionals -- and families can find the process confusing and overwhelming. Many sarcoma patients are teenagers who are just beginning to gain their freedom, only to lose a lot of it as they become cancer patients. That is why it is important that I understand the patient and family, and that they understand what we are doing and why. We work to make the patient and family active participants in treatment.
I also specialize in medication and chemotherapy safety. Working closely with other physicians, nurses, pharmacists, computer specialists and others, I try to make the complex process of ordering and administering chemotherapy and other medicines as straightforward and safe as possible, both in the Cancer Center and in the hospital as a whole.
My research involves the development of sarcoma studies through the Children's Oncology Group, the world's largest childhood cancer research organization. I also work with biology researchers who are trying to combine clinical and biologic data to understand and treat sarcomas better.
At The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, we are fortunate to have people who study every variety of pediatric cancer in depth. Whether it's sarcoma or another cancer, there is someone in our division who is an expert and focuses their research on it -- and who knows other experts around the world. We also have nurses, child life specialists, nutritionists, social workers, physical therapists and others who specialize in treating children with cancer. That is a huge advantage for patients and families, and helps make CHOP a wonderful place to work.

As of Thursday, December 22, 2011

AAA projects a small increase in travel in the U. S., during the year-end holiday travel season, said a spokeswoman for AAA's The Auto Club Group.
The travel season, from Dec. 23, to Jan. 2, will see an estimated 91.9 million travelers, an 1.4 percent increase over the 90.7 million who traveled last year, said Jessica Brady.
She said this expected travel volume is the second-highest in the past decade, and represents 30 percent of the U.S. population.
"AAA is happy to learn so many Americans plan to travel this holiday season, contributing to the second-highest year-end holiday travel volume in the past decade," said Brent Hubele, vice president for AAA Travel. He said this projection is second only to the 2006-2007 holiday travel season, when more than 93.6 Americans took to the skies, roadways and waterways.
In Georgia, the estimate is that 2.55 million people will be traveling, an increase of 0.5 percent, Brady said.
Economic improvements are slowly emerging and consumer-survey results indicate active concern and some lingering pessimism over the rate of economic recovery, she said. Even so, she said, the nation's gross domestic product is expected to increase for the 2011 fourth quarter by 1.5 percent over the 2010 fourth quarter. Even though the projected increase is minor, it is believed to be due, at least in part, to the rise in travelers for the year-end holiday season, and the confidence that shows.
Nearly three in five people intending to travel during the holidays, or 59 percent, said the economy, either doesn't impact their travel plans, or things have improved, according to the surveys, Brady said.
It is a positive sign for the travel industry that a majority of people's travel itineraries were not effected by the economy, which is a reminder of the importance of travel in U.S. society, she added.
•Automobile Travel
This year, automobile travel is the top transportation choice for Americans, with almost 27 percent of the country taking to the highways, she said.
About 83.6 million people, or 91 percent of those traveling, plan to be on the road for the year-end holiday season, she explained. This is a 2.1 percent rise over last year's holiday travel season.
For the state of Georgia, 2.31 million people are expected to use vehicles to travel, a 1.1 percent increase, she said.
•Air Travel
Brady said approximately 5.4 million American travelers, or 6 percent, will take to the skies. This travel mode experienced a 9.7 percent decrease from the 2010-11, year-end holiday travel season, she said. However, this year's decline is the lowest in the past decade, she added. "Jet fuel costs and capacity cuts continue to impact holiday air travel," said Brady.
AAA's Leisure Travel Index indicates that year-end holiday airfares will rise by 21 percent compared to 2010, she said. The average lowest round trip rate will be $210 for the country's top 40 routes, she added. It is projected that 139,707 Georgians will travel by air, an 11.5 percent decline, she said.
•Other Modes of Travel
Brady said 2.9 million people will travel by train, bus or other mode — 4.2 percent more than last year. Economic conditions prompt Americans to travel by these modes, rather than by automobile or airplane, she said. AAA projects that 97,765 Georgians will use other modes of travel, which is a 5.9 percent increase from the year prior.
She said AAA's travel projections are derived from economic forecasting and research by IHS Global Insight, an economic research and consulting firm based in Boston, Mass.

Mentoring Matters: A Henrico Citizen Community Initiative
In the Henrico Citizen's Feb. 4-17, 2010 issue, we are proud to introduce our "Mentoring Matters" initiative, which is designed to encourage individuals, businesses and organizations to spend at least one hour a month mentoring a student in the county.
Below, we have provided information to help you get involved. We hope you'll Join the Henrico Citizen in making an impact in the lives of Henrico County students!
About This Initiative
The Henrico Citizen is committed to serving Henrico County. We believe there is no better way to ensure that our county remains strong and vibrant in the future than to invest in the success of our students in the present.
In this issue, we are establishing a countywide effort to encourage businesses, organizations and individuals to take an active role in the future of Henrico County by mentoring students. All students, regardless of age, race, economic background or educational aptitude, can benefit from the advice, guidance and support of an adult mentor. Each of us has talents, advice, abilities and life lessons to share with youngsters.
What if each person reading these words spent just one hour in a school each month mentoring a student? Think what a difference we could make!
How You Can Help
There are several ways in which your business, organization or you as an individual can help this effort:
Organizations – Is your organization or club seeking a community project? Why not "adopt" a school through mentoring? The only cost is a small commitment of time, and your efforts will leave lasting marks on the schools and students with whom you develop relationships.
Individuals – Contact one of the schools listed below and offer yourself as a mentor. The school system is actively seeking mentors to participate in middle-school and high-school mentoring programs. Mentors also are welcome at elementary schools throughout the county. We've listed schools by region – West End, Northside and Eastern Henrico – so please consider contacting a school near your home or your office for more information about how to get involved.
Become a Partner – The Henrico Citizen is seeking business, organization and individual partners to help promote this initiative throughout the community and within their spheres of influence. Participate – and let others know that you're a mentor. We are also seeking businesses willing to donate small prizes to this effort, such as free lunch or dinner coupons, so that we may select at random several participants each month to reward with small tokens of appreciation for their efforts.

NASCAR Media Group (NMG) provides multiple streams of HD content captured live at races for viewing by 75 million loyal fans worldwide.
To do so mobile satellite transmission provider PSSI Global Services (PSSI) transports various HD sources over satellite to NMG's new studio facilities in Charlotte, N.C., where they are switched live for distribution to DTV services providers.
PSSI is relying on Ericsson MPEG-4 AVC HD encoders and receivers to support the NMG job. From track to studio, the solution allows HD content to be captured and transported using techniques to maximize the available bandwidth usage and provide the highest possible picture quality. This allows production teams to prepare and edit from high-quality footage to create the best viewing experience for fans viewing at home.
The NASCAR project requires efficient MPEG-4 AVC encoding to send six paths of HD material along with 48 channels of team communications audio across one 36MHz satellite transponder. The Ericsson EN8090 AVC encoders perform this task at bit rates ranging from 15.5Mb/s to as low as 7Mb/s for key signals.
Reception of the HD sources is handled with Ericsson RX1290 decoders. A second transmission pathway is used for various clients, including The SPEED Channel, and finally a third pathway is used to carry a five-channel MCPC feed of HD video for DIRECTV Hot Pass. These other services are encoded with Ericsson E5788 MPEG-2 HD encoders.

ADD/ADHD: Parent Support Groups
Even though it's the kind of cold, stormy night that discourages people from going out, a dozen women from the Washington, DC, suburbs have braved the weather to gather in a meeting room at a local library and share their tears, fears, anger, and hopes.
"My son went on a Boy Scout camping trip this weekend. The leader didn't give him his medicine. I'm ready to shoot the scoutmaster -- he's messing with my life!" explodes Cheryl*, a mother of a son with ADHD -- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. "This is a man whose son is diabetic. If anybody should have known how important medicine is, he should've."
Cheryl and the others gathered together this evening are parents of children so affected by distractibility, impulsivity, hyperactivity, or a combination of the three that they cannot function normally in school or other settings and are at risk for academic failure, family conflict, and social problems. ADD (also called ADHD when hyperactivity is a factor) is the most common childhood mental disorder.
Because an increasing number of children are, like Cheryl's son, treated with the stimulant Ritalin (methylphenidate) and other powerful psychotropic drugs, ADD has become a hotbed of controversy, generating lawsuits, congressional hearings, and an avalanche of media coverage. Thrust unwillingly into the spotlight, parents of children with ADD often find themselves forced to deal with both their child's difficulties and a lack of understanding from family, friends, and school officials. CHADD -- Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder, a national organization that informs and empowers families affected by ADD -- sponsors more than 200 chapters with support groups like this one to give them a place to air their feelings without fear of judgment.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Kenya Moore vs. Porsha Stewart: Which New Housewife Do You Prefer?
As the two newest additions to The Real Housewives Of Atlanta, Kenya Moore and Porsha Stewart had some big shoes to fill, and boy did they deliver. Though this is the pair's first season, they managed to stir things up (mostly with each other) like old pros — but which one is your fave?
In one corner, we have Kenya Moore. As the clear breakout star of the season, the Gone With The Wind fabulous girl has had no problem starting trouble with every single cast member, including her own "boyfriend," Walter Jackson! Her passion for drama is only outdone by her obsession with marriage, both of which make for great, if slightly terrifying, television.
On the other side, we've got Porsha Stewart. While the NFL wife hasn't had nearly as many run-ins (or screen time) as Kenya, she's made good use of the ones she's had. And who can forget her African yam theory?
So, what do you think: Do you prefer Kenya or Porsha?

Cheating methods abound throughout casinos. There is no game that enjoys a scamming immunity. It's the mega bucks that magnetize the gaming world for scammers. Learning about the various methods used by cheaters is a protective shield against becoming the victim of the scam.
Good Scammers and Bad Scammers
The bad scammers get caught; the good scammers do not. For that reason, it is impossible to know the extent of the damage perpetrated by cheaters. Bookkeeping is essential for all businesses. Among the books kept by casinos is a record of scammers known to ply their trade in the gaming environment. That particular book constitutes an attempt to keep cheaters from getting through casino doors. While land-based casinos are beset with the problem of scamming, online casinos are not bothered. Gaming software effectively prevents cheating through its encrypted code.
Scamming Methods
There are many ingenious methods of cheating. As each system becomes known to casinos, five more scamming techniques materialize. A jail cell is waiting for each of the scammers who get caught. One method often used by unimaginative cheaters involves placing a large bet. The scammer takes the pot and leaves the casino if the bet legitimately pays off. However, if the cheater loses, they grab the chips and make a beeline for the nearest door, chips and all. That move is relatively unexpected, and by the time the casino employees realize what just happened and give chase, the scammer is long gone.
Blackjack card marking scams are ancient. In October 2010, at a California establishment, three suspects were caught in the act of attempting to scam the casino with marked cards. By the time of their arrest, they had won $24,000 at the blackjack table.
Methods for marking cards are many. It is usually the high cards that are marked. One of the methods involves the use of a substance visible only with special glasses. Another technique is to bend the cards. Card marking is not generally a good way to cheat, as the multitude of players and employees are bound to notice a person messing up the casino's deck of cards. One group of thieves was caught when they used oil to mark the tip of the high cards. They were all arrested and charged with three felonies including grand theft. Each of the counts could net them four years in prison.
The Tran Organization
Van Thu Tran and her gang of 44 family members were all arrested in Canada and the U.S. She used her beauty to corrupt blackjack card dealers. For a while the gang was quite successful, netting $50,000 per 10 minutes of baccarat or blackjack betting. At a casino in the Chicago area, they made over $850,000 within an hour and a half. Their theft total was between $7 million and $20 million. The Tran enterprise was big business.
Online Blackjack: Play It Safe
Safe online blackjack involves several elements. In determining the safety of online gaming, players look to the security of the site, reliability of the software and honesty of the financial process, among other factors. Well-established online casinos are generally safe. Those internet casinos that appear dishonest become the subject of reviews and scrutiny by industry entities which publicize unsavoury casino websites. Blacklists are established for the purpose of informing the public as to unsafe casinos. By contrast, there are online casinos that are recommended highly in trade publications and associations. Those that are often mentioned in a positive light can be considered safe websites.
Online casinos are required to be licensed. Players concerned with safety look at the domicile of the website, staying away from sites located in Costa Rica and Cyprus, where regulation is weak. Software provided by well-known companies such as PlayTech and Microgaming, meet standards for fairness and uniformity. Auditors eCOGRA and Technical Systems Testing (TST) certify blackjack payout rates. Safe casinos are those that have rates between 97.5% and 98.5%. Online blackjack covers a wide variety of games. For safe play, players are advised to check out the rules and regulations of each game. Free trials aere a great way to learn the game inside and out, prior to playing for real cash.
Blackjack games currently have a program which includes the playing history on the software platform. This is helpful in avoiding abnormalities and ensuring consistency. A secure privacy policy is a must. Excellent customer service for the website is also essential. Playing it safe lets the gamer get excited about the game rather than the casino pitfalls.

Product description
"Sometimes funny, always creepy, genuinely moving, this marvellous spine-chiller will appeal to readers from nine to ninety." - "Books for Keeps". "I was looking forward to "Coraline", and I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I was enthralled. This is a marvellously strange and scary book." - Philip Pullman, "Guardian". "If any writer can get the guys to read about the girls, it should be Neil Gaiman. His new novel "Coraline" is a dreamlike adventure. For all its gripping nightmare imagery, this is actually a conventional fairy story with a moral." - "Daily Telegraph". Stephen King once called Neil Gaiman 'a treasure-house of stories' and, in this wonderful novel, which has been likened to both "Alice in Wonderland" and the "Narnia Chronicles", we get to see Neil at his storytelling best.

Editorial reviews
Coraline's family has just moved into a new flat in what was once a large mansion house. Her neighbours, Miss Forcible and Miss Spink, are about 100 years old and think they can read danger in the tea leaves, and the crazy old man upstairs keeps mice that not only talk to him but are training to become the first ever mouse circus. It's the school holidays, so while the weather is good Coraline explores the enormous garden of her new home, discovering all sorts of nooks and crannies, deserted wells and hidey-holes in her travels. The days pass quickly, but when the weather changes and the rain pours down she is ordered inside and she quickly becomes restless. Counting the number of doors in her new house one day in an effort to relieve her boredom, Coraline discovers a door that won't budge. Her curiosity aroused, she asks her mother to unlock it, only to find a solid brick wall behind the locked door. That night Coraline hears a sound that wakes her from a deep sleep. Following the noise she is led to the same door, but instead of a brick wall she finds a gloomy corridor. Although a little frightened, her curiosity is aroused and before she has time to think, Coraline ventures down the corridor to discover a duplicate world. It's the same flat, but some of the details are just slightly different, and most surprisingly of all, she finds a duplicate mother and father who look the same but are a lot more sinister. This is a scary but riveting story for older children. The imagination it has taken to develop the story line is mind-boggling, and the story is fresh and exciting. Look out for more novels for children by this clever and accomplished author. Ages 10+ (Kirkus UK)


text: CHENNAI: The musical richness of yesteryears and the prowess of renowned violinist Lalgudi G. Jayaraman were hailed by speakers at the release of 'Pada varnams,' a four DVD pack of lessons in and renderings of varnams composed by him on Thursday.The DVDs were grouped into four raagas – Nilambari, Charukesi, Shanmugapriya and Navarasa (Ragamalika) – and have introduction to the varnams, interactive teachings by Lalgudi G.J.R. Krishnan and Lalgudi Vijayalakshmi and clippings of Mr. Jayaraman's lecture demonstrations retrieved from the archives of Krishna Gana Sabha.Releasing the DVDs, N. Murali, president of The Music Academy and Managing Director of The Hindu, said technology played a pivotal role in passing on the legendary compositions to the next generation. The DVDs would be a boon to those who could not get training under Mr. Jayaraman, and his compositions and lecture demonstrations would teach the nuances of self-composed varnams.Receiving the first copy, dancer Chitra Vishveswaran said the package was a must for every musician and dancer. "The music 'parampara' is documented through technology and should be preserved for posterity. Even a quick look at the lessons is bound to enhance the knowledge of musicians." On the relationship between music and dance, she said dance must become music of the body, which would add a poetic appeal to the movements. Mr. Jayaraman is a great teacher, and the DVDs will provide an authentic version of his compositions.'Cleveland' V.V. Sundaram, who has been organising cultural festivals in the U.S. for three decades, said the varnams, primarily composed for dance, left enough room for 'bhava' without compromising on the 'raaga lakshanam.'He said celebrated musicians of India regarded Mr. Jayaraman as a gift to the world of Carnatic music.K.S. Sudhakar of Swathi Soft Solutions, which has brought out the DVDs, spoke.A live concert of Mr. Jayaraman's compositions, with Ms. Vijayalakshmi on vocal, Mr. Krishnan on the violin, Anil Srinivasan on the piano and B.S.

By Steven Donald SmithAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 16, 2006 U.S. military medical professionals are some of the best in the world and contribute greatly to American operations around the world, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told more than 300 graduates at the 2006 National Capital Area Joint Service Graduation Ceremony here today.
"All of you represent first-class medicine," Navy Adm. Edmund P. Giambastiani said. "Congratulations and well done to each and every one of you."
The graduates included medical interns, residents and fellows who received certificates from the National Naval Medical Center, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in specialties ranging from radiology to orthopedics.
"I am incredibly impressed by your dedication," Giambastiani said.
The admiral said that many in attendance would soon be deployed in support of troops fighting the global war on terrorism.
"We, in fact, are at war. Your country needs each and every one of you graduate trainees," he said. "More importantly, our operators and warfighters in the field need each and every one of you."
He said their medical professionalism instills a sense of confidence and comfort in all servicemembers and their families.
"You will do heroic work caring for our servicemembers and their families," he said. "These are our most precious assets."
Military medicine has made tremendous advancements over the past six decades, he said. During World War II, the Korean and Vietnam wars, and up through Desert Storm, about 25 percent of Americans injured in combat eventually died from their wounds, he said.
"Today that number has been dramatically decreased to one in ten," he said. "That in itself is a huge accomplishment."
Giambastiani said military medical personnel are also doing tremendous work in the humanitarian assistance arena. He said that after a massive earthquake struck Pakistan last year, military medical folks were quickly on the ground, ready to help.
During that aid mission American military doctors treated 30,000 Pakistanis, he said.
"Pakistanis will always remember the CH-47 Chinook helicopters that carried doctors, patients and medical supplies. They were called angels of mercy by the Pakistanis," he said. "In fact, I've been told by visiting delegations from Pakistan that the favorite children's toy in Pakistan is the Chinook helicopter."
Missions such as these show the United States at its compassionate best, he said.
"In the end, medical professionals may help us do more to win this war on terror than purely kinetic operations," the admiral said. "We are forever grateful for the task each of you is about to take on."

MADISON, Ill. (July 19, 2008) -- If it wasn't for the July heat with its sticky humidity, one might have thought it was Halloween evening with a full orange moon in the sky and strange and unusual things happening at the race track below it.
Pole sitter Jamie McMurray took the green flag for the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 in his No. 17 CitiFinancial Ford Fusion without the usual fanfare of opening ceremonies because strangely the track lost power just as driver introductions ended. The "brown out" didn't bother McMurray though as he led the race on two occasions and ran in the top 10 all night. However, the strange and unusual theme would continue as right in the middle of a strong third-place run with 48 laps to go, the No. 17 CitiFinancial Ford's motor gave out, giving the team a 27th place finish.
The one-day show started off on a very high note as McMurray, who was the 44th driver to qualify, grabbed the pole from Reed Sorenson by just .003 seconds. This was a huge boost for McMurray and team since he hails from nearby Joplin, Missouri and was to race in front of a hometown crowd.
As the drivers were making their way to their respective cars, the track lost power causing the race to get under way with no opening ceremonies, no announcer, no caution lights and, for a few teams including the No. 17, no pit stall lights. As the race began, the drivers were told their spotters would be the ones telling them if a caution came out. Strange and unusual… Thankfully, as the first several laps were run, most of the lights returned and eventually all went back to normal.
McMurray ran the first 20 laps without issue, except for the fact that his fuel pressure gauge light kept flickering on and off. Strange and unusual… Again, keeping with the theme of the evening, a "mysterious" competition yellow came out on lap 20. Pierre Kuettel (P.K.) , making his crew chief debut with the No. 17 CitiFinancial team, made the call for four new tires and to go up two-tenths of a pound on the right front air pressure. The 15.65 second pit stop placed McMurray in the eighth position for the restart on lap 26.
During the next run, McMurray fought to get the No. 17 CitiFinancial Ford Fusion back to the front and by lap 54, he was concerned that the car was extremely loose and that he had really abused the right front trying to gain back position.
On lap 62, a caution came out due to an incident between the No. 47 and the No. 52. The No. 17 crew decided to take the track bar down one-and-a-half rounds and change four tires. McMurray restarted again in the eighth position.
Just a few laps into the run, he said the car was "horribly tight." A few moments later, a caution came out as the lights in turn two went out. The No. 17 crew thought this might be their chance to fix the car's issues and discussed bringing the car in for a stop but the caution was a short one with no chance to come to pit road. The race went green again on Lap 74.
Finally on lap 110, McMurray would be able to bring his No. 17 Ford Fusion to the CitiFinancial crew due to a spin by the No. 27 car. In just under nine seconds, the team changed right side tires and took one-and-a-half rounds out of the left rear, getting McMurray back in front for the restart on lap 115.
On lap 116, as McMurray was notifying the crew that the car had no grip, a multi-car accident that collected the No. 29, No. 1, No. 40, and No. 66 brought out the red flag. Clean-up for the wreck took almost 30 minutes and when the race finally restarted on lap 121, McMurray said he was "loose but ok."
McMurray received a huge boost to his run to the front as, on lap 140, the No. 99 and No. 88 took each other out while fighting for position right behind the CitiFinancial Ford Fusion. The two cars were to have been strong competitors for the No. 17.
The CitiFinancial crew decided to bring the car in for four tires and fuel plus a "little bit" out of the right rear and one round up in the track bar. The race restarted on lap 145 with McMurray in the fifth position.
McMurray was determined to bring home a win and immediately began working his way to the front and by lap 148, he was running strongly in third. All of a sudden on lap 152, McMurray came over the radio to say he had no oil pressure and that the engine was fading, putting an end to the strange and unusual evening. The strong and promising run was over and McMurray would end up finishing the race in 27th. McMurray's Roush Fenway Racing teammate, and fellow Missouri native, Carl Edwards would end up as the race winner.
"What a crazy night," said McMurray. "We definitely had a top-three car before the engine problem ended our night. This one is hard to take. This track means a lot to me and I would've loved to get a win here at home. P.K. and the guys did a great job all weekend and I'm just really proud of everyone on this CitiFinancial team. We have a few more races together before the end of the year so we'll build on this and come back even stronger next time."

Few studies of bone loss have assessed the amount of loss directly after a hip fracture. The present prospective study was conducted to determine changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and muscle mass shortly after fracture and through 1 year to assess short-term loss and related factors. The setting was two acute care teaching hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland, and subjects were 205 community-dwelling women with a new fracture of the proximal femur between 1992 and 1995. Bone density of the nonfractured hip and whole-body and body composition were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at 3 and 10 days and 2, 6 and 12 months after admission. Mean BMD of the femoral neck was 0.546 ± 0.007 g/cm2 at baseline. Average loss of femoral neck BMD from baseline was 2.1% at 2 months, 2.5% at 6 months and 4.6% at 12 months. The average loss of BMD in the intertrochanteric region was 2.1% at 12 months. Total lean body mass decreased by 6% while fat mass increased by 3.6% by 1 year after the fracture. These findings indicate that significant loss in BMD and lean body mass occur shortly after hip fracture while body fat increases. Continued loss was evident throughout the 1 year of follow-up. This loss of both bone density and muscle mass may lead to new fractures.

An unexpected turn of events today in the trial of a young Brighton man accused of killing his former roommate. Instead of witnesses and experts on the stand, some of the jurors were getting questioned today.
At least four jurors were questioned by the prosecution, the defense and the judge in the Maxwell Wyant trial and the judge appeared to be examining the cell phone of one juror.
23 year old Wyant is accused of murdering 21 year old C.J. Schoen last February.
It's hard for us to say exactly what was going on in court. Judge Doug Randall closed the court room when he and the attorneys were questioning the jurors. At the end of the court's day, the judge invited the media back in the courtroom. He didn't get specific but he said "there is a series of issues involving this case and the this jury."
Concerning the cell phone, we could see a lone juror appear to search for something on her cell phone. She then handed it to a court deputy who gave it to the judge. Judge Randall appeared to search the phone himself.
Judge Randall said "the court is still in the process of sorting it out." He also referred to the "unique nature of the inquiry."
Normally the attorneys talk to us at the end of the day, but on the judge's orders both the prosecutor and defense attorney said they could not talk. As the attorneys left the courtroom, the judge said "we all have a lot of work to do."
We counted four jurors questioned by the judge and the lawyers this afternoon. The rest get questioned starting Friday morning.
Until they clear up what ever this problem is, there is no more testimony. Prior to the problems, however, the jury did see picture of spent shot gun shells found in the home. They saw the shot gun that was used. They also heard police testimony that they found 14 guns in the house and dozens of shot gun shells.
