In Arkansas, just 12 miles south of Branson, Mo., the Klan has proudly slithered along the side of an "adopted" road for four years, although the state is now making sounds that the group's tenure -- and its oft-vandalized adoption signs -- may soon be a thing of the past. The Klan has lost battles, but gained much-craved attention, over taking part in highway-adoption programs in Florida and Texas.
And now, right here in St. Louis, the Klan has experienced a sense of euphoria previously reserved for its joy in setting crosses aflame: The courts have ruled, after a five-year battle, that the Klan indeed has a right to participate in Missouri's Adopt-a-Highway program.
Last week, two signs announcing the Klan's trash-related citizenship were erected along Interstate 55 between Lindbergh Boulevard and Butler Hill Road. Almost instantly, the signs were stolen, but that's as unimportant as the Klansmen themselves.
What is important is a principle that is easily lost in the emotion evoked by the Klan: The government can't be allowed to decide which political groups enjoy basic freedoms and which ones don't.
"This issue is really about the power of the state," says local attorney Bob Herman, who represents the Klan on this case and another involving sponsorship of KWMU-FM programming on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union. When state government set up the program to give individuals and groups public credit for good citizenship along the highways, he says, it established what is legally termed "a nonpublic public forum," opening the door even to those deemed detestable.
"The one thing the government cannot do is viewpoint discrimination," Herman says. "Once they've opened the program for people to express their goodness, then they can't say, "We only allow people we approve of and not people we don't approve of.'"
The Klan is the first group rejected for Missouri's Adopt-a-Highway program in the 12 years of its existence, says Jeff Briggs, spokesman for the state Department of Transportation (MoDOT). Briggs says 4,700 groups and individuals currently care for more than 7,000 miles of Missouri roadways.
But why not the Klan?
"This is a taxpayer-supported program run by MoDOT, and we have a responsibility to those taxpayers and to the public interest," Briggs told me. "This particular group has a history of illegal behavior, violent behavior, racist behavior, and that's why we've tried to exclude them.
"It isn't about their beliefs. The distinction isn't whether MoDOT agrees or disagrees with the group but whether it is in the public interest to exclude their participation."
Superficially, that sounds fine. We all know the Klan's long history as a terrorist organization targeting blacks, Jews, Catholics and others it deems impure, and there's no doubt the vast majority of Missourians agree with Gov. Mel Carnahan's statement that the Klan sign is an "embarrassment" to the state.
But it is indeed the state we're talking about here. The Bill of Rights was expressly designed to prevent government at all levels from making the kind of distinction it is trying to make by deeming the Klan generally unfit for participation in the public forum.
"The basic mechanics of the program is up to the Highway Department, and there's no First Amendment engine that requires them to open it, but once they do open it, then their selection criteria is restricted by the First Amendment," says Herman. "What government official are we going to appoint to determine good people vs. bad people or good ideas vs. bad ideas? Isn't it dangerous to give that power to a person or a committee or even an elected official?"
MoDOT doesn't think so.
"Our argument is that the Adopt-a-Highway is not a free-speech issue," says Briggs. "We want to recognize groups that are doing a good community service, and that is at our discretion. It's not everyone's constitutional right to participate in a highway-beautification program.
"In order for this program to work, it has to be taxpayer-run and state-run, and it will not work if just anyone who feels like it gets to put up a highway sign."
But why not? Although it is distasteful to most of us to see the Klan's name along a highway, do we really want MoDOT -- or any other government agency -- to define the boundaries of taste and to limit the highway program on the basis of its judgments? If the Klan can be banned because of a generalized view of its past (not necessarily even related to its current members), then what about all the other controversial groups that might push the envelope?
Some people would have similar concerns about a White Citizens Council or the Nazis. Others might take offense at the communists, socialists, the Nation of Islam, Greenpeace or many other groups that evoke strong feelings. And what's to keep the list of "unacceptable" individuals and groups from growing?

I think sometimes we lose sight of the the perspective that the Imagineers are working from. Disney is a company known for producing theme parks which are very child-friendly; that's a given. The Magic Kingdom, and Disneylands around the world, are the summation of that concept. They are places for the entire family to enjoy, creating a perfect balance of excitement, magic, awe and fun.
This expansion does exactly that.
Can you imagine being a child of about 7 and thinking you could actually visit the home of your favourite princess, or the Beast's Castle? Not only that, but you could meet them there!? Hello, I don't want to sound like a propagandist or anything but this is just, beyond exciting for that demographic. Not only that, but it offers bundles of pleasure and fun for the parents and for older kids too, no? The Snow White coaster sounds absolutely incredible, as does the small replica of the French village.
Personally, for me; to see the replica of Eric's castle, directly lifted from the movie (my favourite Disney movie with my favourite Disney princess) will just be beyond wonderful. I keep imagining my eight year old self, riding the Ariel attraction, then getting to meet her.
This will directly take the MK's Fantasyland from the weakest in the world to the strongest. I just can't see the negativity that people are finding in this. I've been wondering for a good while and this only just serves to encourage that; are Disney fans just incredibly hard to please? Are our expectations unrealistically high? I'm just trying to put together a checklist of the biggest Disney fan gripes;
* Attractions and experiences for the entire family to enjoy. CHECK
* Deeply immersive, rich, detailed themeing of the highest Imagineering calibre. CHECK
* Expensive. CHECK
Please tell me what I'm missing?

This may be stating the obvious, but it's not easy playing with Tiger Woods. Aside from the looming fear that his driver may be coming to get you at any moment, the pressure of impressing the best player in the world and all the extra attention that goes along with it is tough to handle. On whole, Brooks Koepka did pretty well. That is, apart from this chip on the fifth hole which led to a double bogey. Just stop rolling already!
There was exactly one hole-in-one at the 2013 PGA Championship and it came on the 11th hole at the hands of Tim Clark, who finished third the last time the PGA was at Oak Hill. Not sure what's better, the fact that the ball went into the hole, or the gingerly manner his playing partner, Miguel Angel Jimenez, decided to come congratulate him. Incidentally, it was actually Jimenez who benefited the most from the ace. He went on a five birdie tear starting on the next hole.
Jason Dufner making birdies. Henrik Stenson mounting a charge. Jason Day and Scott Piercy taking it deep. It all got a little overwhelming at one point, so it was probably a good move to cut away from the action to show this man sitting on a ladder. In fairness, he is putting his fellow spectators to shame.
On a side note, is there any golfer, man or women, who produces more powerful divots than Henrik Stenson? The man just annihilates the ground with every club he hits. The Swede finished alone in third place at seven under.
I miss the days when we only had to listen to someone shout "get in the hole" after every. Single. Shot. Some of the shouting got so bad on Sunday that Jim Furyk, who finished alone in second at eight under, took issue with it on the 16th tee. And he wasn't the only one: Ian Poulter used his Twitter account to go on quite the rampage against the shouters, saying he wanted them "tazed."
Jason Dufner squeezes wife's butt, wins the PGA Championship. That's the headline and I'm sticking to it. Guilty of ruining a perfectly nice moment between man and wife? Perhaps (it wouldn't be the only time this week). But you've got to admit: His technique was flawless.

General [Henry] Shelton [Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff], thank you for your generous remarks, and thank you for the leadership you have given to this country and to our men and women in uniform. Senator Glenn and Annie; Members of the Cabinet; Members of Congress; Deputy Secretary [John] Hamre; Service Secretaries, Service Chiefs and spouses; Janet [Cohen]; Distinguished guests; Ladies and gentlemen. First of all, let me thank you for joining Janet and me in paying tribute to a very special person and a true American hero.
John F. Kennedy, the President who sent John Glenn into space the first time, once said that when the high court of history sits in judgement on each of us, recording whether we fulfilled our responsibilities, our success will be measured by the answers to four questions. First, were we truly men of courage? Second, were we truly men of judgement? Third, were we truly men of integrity? Fourth, were we truly men of dedication? When history judges John Glenn, the answer to each of these questions will be an unqualified, unequivocal "yes." Today we express our gratitude to a true American hero who from the streets of a small Ohio town to the high heavens above, has indeed lived a life of courage, integrity, judgement and dedication.
Chesterton said once that "Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die."
For virtually all Americans, it is easy to think of the courage of John Glenn the astronaut, twice above the reaches of the earth and twice under the tickertape of New York's "Canyon of Heroes." For Ohioans, it is easy to think of the integrity of John Glenn the Senator, carrying their concerns to the United States Capitol. For me, it is easy to think of the judgement and dedication of John Glenn, a dear friend and colleague of many years. Indeed, throughout his life this man of adventure, action and passion has carried many titles, and he has honored each with extraordinary strength of character and devotion to duty.
Emerson once said, "A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer." John Glenn has been braver 57 years longer. Fifty-seven years ago this week was a fateful day for America and for John. He was courting his childhood sweetheart, Annie, when the attack on Pearl Harbor shocked the nation. Even before the smoke cleared, there was no doubt about his direction. John Glenn was going to serve his country.
In World War II, Lieutenant Glenn the Marine fighter pilot risked all in the skies of the Western Pacific, flying 59 combat missions with his Marine Fighter Squadron 155. In the Korean War, Major Glenn took to the skies again, in an F-86 jet fighter, felling three enemy aircraft in thunderous dogfights. For his valor in 149 combat missions in two wars, he received six Distinguished Flying Crosses and eighteen Air Medals. In 1957, Test Pilot Glenn, as Tom Wolfe has said, had the Right Stuff, "slipping the surly bonds of earth" and setting a transcontinental record in the first supersonic flight across America. Indeed, John Glenn was an American hero long before blasting into orbit.
But it was the 1962 space odyssey of Lieutenant Colonel Glenn that made this man with the brave heart a hero for all the ages. Friendship 7 and his orbital flight lifted more than a space capsule. It truly lifted the spirits and the hopes of an entire nation. And the words "Godspeed, John Glenn," continues to reverberate to the very core of our souls with a power that dwarfs even that of the Atlas rocket that propelled him into space. As John descended to earth, he rose to become such an icon that President Kennedy decided he was too valuable to send to space again, a dictate with which I am sure Annie agreed.
No hero becomes a hero alone, and so today we also pay tribute to Annie Glenn. Not only is she John's navigator on their weekly flights between Washington and Ohio and his lifelong co-pilot, she is also a hero in her own right. Hers is a strong voice for children, speech and communications, and the disabled. So, Annie, please accept our thanks for your service to America as well. We thank you very much.
After John Glenn the astronaut became John Glenn the Senator, I had the privilege of calling him a colleague for 18 years in the U.S. Senate. We served together on the Senate Armed Services Committee, the Governmental Affairs Committee and the Intelligence Committee where I bore witness to his integrity and dedication. And while we were from different parties, if there was any gap across the aisle Senator Glenn always bridged it with respect and commitment to his country. His concern for our men and women in uniform has been unwavering, and his knowledge and credibility on military issues unmatched. His is a vote of compassion for the health and welfare of our citizens, our civil rights and our environment. And, of course, he is the Senate's preeminent expert on science and technology, and his devotion has helped keep America in space. John Glenn knows that the answers to the mysteries of life on earth reside in the "sunlit silence" of the heavens. And I dare to venture that the men and women aboard Endeavor today will surely confirm that.
Of course, John's most recent service has again been on high, as Payload Specialist Glenn. Janet and I had the opportunity to visit John and the crew of Discovery in Houston before their history-making flight, and I was reminded that if you shine a light on his record and reputation for honor, a much greater light shines back.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. once wrote of honor, "It lifts a man to the sky and teaches him the high and secret pathways." Well, honor has lifted John Glenn to the sky – and beyond. He has flown on wings of honor -- John Glenn the combat pilot -- John Glenn the astronaut -- John Glenn the statesman -- and shown all America the high pathways of courage, integrity, dedication and judgement. And it is now my high honor to bestow our highest civilian award, the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service, to John Glenn.

NEC has launched a touch-capable LCD display, the V423-TM, with support for up to four simultaneous touches.
The 42-inch display, with 1920 x 1080 resolution and a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, also features an "anti-reflective glass coating (that) protects the panel and allows for higher brightness transmittance," according to information released by NEC.
Input and output ports include RGB, DVI-D, HDMI, S-video, DisplayPort, 3.5 mm stereo minijack, Ethernet, RS232, and an expansion slot for Open Pluggable Specification devices.
"Consumers are enamored with touch capabilities on their smart phones and other hand-held devices, so organizations are capitalizing on that phenomenon to connect audiences with their own digital screens," said Rachel Karnani, senior product manager for large screen displays at NEC, in a prepared statement. "The V423-TM gives organizations a powerful tool to meet this branding objective."
The V423-TM will be available in January at a minimum advertised price of $2,399. More information is available at necdisplay.com.

Newark Division of Police Capt. Steve Baum and Marty Snaveley hold kidney-shaped pillows staff members signed and delivered to them after their successful surgery at the Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University in Columbus.

Hours after undergoing surgery, doctors at the Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University were happy to report that Newark Division of Police Capt. Steve Baum's new kidney was already working.
Baum underwent a kidney transplant Saturday morning with his friend, Chief Deputy Auditor Marty Snavely, who decided to donate one of her kidneys to him after learning Baum was in stage four renal failure.
Baum has long suffered from diabetes, and the disease had taken its toll on his kidneys, with doctors encouraging him in 2012 to begin looking for potential donors. ...

a family limited liability corporation.The LLC would act as a "unifying tool"to bring a lot of disparate assets, in realestate, hedge funds and other instru-ments, into one basket. Then, the LLCwould go into a dynasty trust.
Ann Marsh is senior editor
and West Coast bureau chief of
Financial Planning.
Several experts say there are several workaround strategies available to clients and their planners to
take advantage of the deadline to entrust assets under
current laws.
If clients lack the time to fully appraise assets,
they could take some of the following steps now,
according to Las Vegas estate lawyer Steve Oshins.
• As a stopgap measure,
place liquid assets that do not
have a valuation requirement
into a trust. The trust can then
include a power for the client
to swap out those assets later
in exchange for a share or percentage of another asset that
must still be valued.
• Tailoring a document(sometimes called an assign-ment) to state the client's intention to transfer aspecified dollar amount of an asset into a dynastytrust, instead of a fixed percentage interest in thatasset or entity, may allow the client to avoid thetax risk of transferring more than the $5.12 millionexemption. This strategy also permits the client toawait an appraiser's valuation of that asset at a laterdate. It accomplishes the asset transfer for tax pur-poses now, but allows the client the freedom of deter-mining how many shares, or what percentage, of anasset ultimately will be placed into the trust. How-ever, Oshins cautions, clients need to get an appraisalas soon as possible after creating the assignment inorder not to raise red flags with the IRS.
Another challenge:

action this year.

iZettle, a new mobile payment solution, has arrived the UK. The dongle, which attaches to the iOS device, reads your card like a chip-and-pin machine and allows you to sign for goods
The Square mobile payment company, from Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, has revolutionised the idea of mobile-based payments in the US by allowing businesses to accept card payments, quickly, easily and cheaply.
The little white dongle, which can be attached to iPhones and iPads where there's mobile data connectivity, allows the vendor to swipe the card, enter the amount and pass over to the user to authorise.
With Sqaure, or rival company PayPal Here, still to reveal when they might be crossing the Atlantic, a new European-based solution is coming to the UK.
The iZettle company, which has already earned some success in the Nordic region, is launching a free dongle and software to 3,000 invited businesses in the UK and is aimed at supporting those small companies that have never accepted plastic before.
So, it could be perfect for market stalls, taxi drivers, roadside cafes, t-shirt sellers at concerts and more. According to Jacob De Gaer, the company's CEO, there are 20 million businesses in Europe that fit into this category.
Unlike Square, which swipes the magnetic strip on the card, iZettle's is a solution more akin to the UK's chip-and-pin infrastructure. The dongle fits into the charging port and the card is simply inserted. Users will then be asked to sign the screen with their finger before the transaction is completed. For its troubles iZettle takes a small commission from the payment, but that won't cost users a penny.
The service is for iOS initially, but the company promises an Android solution soon. Interested businesses can download the iPhone app and register. The app features the ability to itemise the inventory's so businesses can keep track of exactly what they sell.
Whereas NFC has is still in the early stages of its development, services like Square have been massively successful in the United States. It'll be interesting to see how iZettle's solution performs on these shores.

DeLandite returns from fourth Olympic volunteer stint — 'Only good' from Sochi
By Jen Horton
posted Mar 10, 2014 - 3:02:12pm
Ernie Peterson has attended six Olympic Games; at four, he worked as a volunteer staff member.
Peterson had nothing but nice things to say about Russia and her people, after returning home from this year's Winter Games in Sochi.
"They asked me what I would tell people when I got home," he said. "I told them: 'Only good.'"
Peterson's volunteering for the Olympics has always been at Winter Games: 2002 in Salt Lake City, 2006 in Torino, Italy, and 2010 Vancouver, Canada.
In Vancouver, Peterson started working with the news media.
This year, he was an athlete handler.
When athletes finished competing, he would grab them at the bottom of the slope and move them along the media gauntlet for interviews.
The work gave Peterson a close-up view of the most poignant behind-the-scenes moments.
Sochi was slammed during the Games on social-networking websites over its hotel accommodations. The only weirdness Peterson faced, however, was a missing shower curtain.
He didn't experience any of the horrors reported during the Olympics, such as rooms under construction, or missing doors, or rooms with no running water.
"They gave it their best shot," he said.

If this was in fact Jaromir Jagr's last game as a New York Ranger, it really was as special as he wanted it to be.
The Rangers 3-0 whitewash of the Penguins helped of course because it kept the team from being swept out of the second round of the playoffs. And on its own merits, the win was inspiring for New York by showing the Rangers they can still beat Pittsburgh with their best game.
New York won the season series between the teams and had enough chances to win each of the first three games, but whenever there was a pivotal moment, it was the Penguins best players who found a way to step up instead of those on the Rangers. Except for Jagr, who on an individual level has done everything for the Rangers that Crosby, Malkin et al. have done for Pittsburgh in this series, just without the end results.
So when Jagr dropped board hints after the Game 3 loss that the next game could be his swan song on Broadway, the "funny feeling" he had about a New York comeback in the series seemed either wishful or deluded. But either way, the Rangers captain sounded intent on willing it to happen, and he started the long shot process with one of those Madison Square Garden performances for the ages.
It still might be too late.
Talk about the 04 Red Sox. the 75 Islanders or the 42 Maple Leafs all you want, but there's a reason winning a series when you're down 3-0 almost never happens. It's tough. But not impossible and Jagr made sure the Rangers still have a chance.
"He's a driven man right now," Rangers coach Tom Renney. "And for all the right reasons."
Jagr scored two of the goals and assisted on the other, and basically took over the ice on every shift. And he never missed one either, even when he ran into a brick wall named Brooks Orpik and had to be helped from the ice after scoring the game's first goal.
Jagr paid the price for going to the front of the net on that one, which proved to be the winner and set the tone for the desperate Rangers. But New York's biggest goal came from Brandon Dubinsky on a play Jagr created from behind the net. 44 seconds into the second period. It was New York's first power play goal in 16 tries, which removed the proverbial monkey from their backs and gave the Rangers the breathing room to effectively contain Pittsburgh.
It wasn't easy though, even if the Rangers were playing outstanding team defense. The Penguins had fewer odd-man rushes than in previous games and didn't get to the net as easily, but they still put enough pressure on to stay in the game to the end. Pittsburgh just couldn't solve Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, who made 29 saves -- several of the remarkable variety -- and even turned back Malkin on a second period penalty shot.
Lundqvist was arguably more critical to his victory on an individual level than Jagr, who clinched it with an empty netter. But the goalie's effort would not have mattered had Jagr lifted the team onto his shoulders.
Jagr made this game special. Just like he wanted.

President's Power of Pardon
President Bill Clinton used his presidential pardon power in July 2000 to commute the sentence of Serena Nunn, who was sentenced to 15 years for a first-time nonviolent drug offense when she was 19. The pardon shaved three years off Nunn's sentence. Nunn told me over the phone, "I thought then that it was a great thing that a president used his power to help an average person."
Nunn later graduated from college and then the University of Michigan Law School. Last month, having passed a character fitness test, Nunn passed the Georgia bar. On Monday, she will be sworn in as an attorney.
How can a convicted felon become an attorney? The answer is not that Nunn wasn't guilty. She broke the law. She admits it. She knows she deserved some punishment.
But 15 years? That hard time was a function of a federal mandatory minimum system that overly punishes women who foolishly refuse to testify against their drug dealer boyfriends. "If mandatory minimum sentencing did not exist, no judge in America, including me, would have ever sentenced Ms. Nunn to 15 years in prison based on her role in the conspiracy, her age and the fact that she had no prior criminal convictions before the instant offense," sentencing Judge David Doty later wrote to Clinton.
Nunn's luck changed when Families Against Mandatory Minimums publicized her plight. In 1997, right-leaning lawyer Sam Sheldon read about Nunn in the Minneapolis Star Tribune and was outraged. He took on her case pro bono and then proceeded to hector prosecutors and local politicians in his bid to win Nunn a presidential commutation.
Sheldon, who works for the Justice Department, later became a federal prosecutor. He and his family will be there to watch Nunn take the oath.
Nunn knows that she is blessed. She has seen others leave prison only to face a "permanent punishment," of doors slammed when ex-convicts looked for work or social acceptance.
But she had the Families Against Mandatory Minimums, Sheldon, a pass from prominent politicians and a great-grandmother who told her, "You outlive it."
"She meant," Nunn said, "that when you let your good outdo your bad, then you've outlived it. You can be remembered for something better than your mistake."
Nunn has applied for a presidential pardon, which would erase her conviction. "I'll never be able to wipe away what I did and the fact that I went to prison," said Nunn, "but I can do the best that I can when I go forward."
During our talk, Nunn never brought up the subject of race. She is black, like so many other victims of the federal system's oversize boot.
Despite his erstwhile criticism of federal mandatory minimums, America's first black president may be of little to no help to her. I thought President George W. Bush was stingy with the pardon power, but Bush did issue two commutations in his first term, 11 total, as well as a total of 189 pardons. The Bush record beats Barack Obama's one commutation and 22 pardons.
Maybe Obama will be better after the election, some hope, when, win or lose, he could commute sentences without fear of alienating voters.
Political science professor P.S. Ruckman expects only "the usual tinkling of December pardons." If, however, Obama does issue a spate of commutations, expect some crony clemency, like Clinton's out-the-door pardon of well-connected rich fugitive Marc Rich.
Mitt Romney is "no big ball of hope," either, Ruckman said of the other guy. As Massachusetts governor, Romney granted none of the 15 pardon or three commutation recommendations sent from his parole board.
Conventional wisdom holds that there is no political upside to granting pardons and commutations. In the end, however, presidents often find some mercy for their pals. The question is whether they can spare a shot at a second chance for the average unconnected offender.

Acid Reflux
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
and Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease
Reflux (backflow of gastric contents) of stomach acid into the throat can cause a mild chemical burn of the throat without causing any heartburn. Your gastric acid can flow up to the throat at any time, but often occurs at night when gravity no longer helps to keep the stomach's contents from slipping back up the esophagus and pooling in the back of the throat and the voice box.
Stomach fluids have increased ease to reach the upper airway when we lie down.
Patients awake with, a sore throat, a cough or hoarseness without knowing the cause.
Hiatal hernia- weakness of the muscle which acts like a valve between the stomach and esophagus Excess weight Poor diet Eating excessive amounts of food Eating within an hour of bedtime
Some common symptoms :
- voice changes
- swallowing problems
- a foreign body sensation
- throat clearing
- postnasal drip (the feeling of excess phlegm or mucus in their throats)
- asthma
- throat pain or sore throat
• Difficult because most patients have no heartburn which is irritation of the lining of the stomach or esophagus
• An examination of the throat by an otolaryngologist - fiberoptic endoscopy
• 24 hr pH probe – involves a thin tube through the nose and into the esophagus
• trial of antacids at increasing doses for weeks or months – link in Q&A and next section: voice problems) will determine if stomach acid is causing irritation of the throat and voice box.
Self Care
Lifestyle changes and nonprescription medicines may be all that is needed to treat mild reflux symptoms. However, if your symptoms last longer than 2 weeks, see your doctor.
Keep a record of your heartburn symptoms before and after making lifestyle changes or using nonprescription medicines so you can discuss any improvement with your doctor. See an example of a heartburn symptom record
- Eat smaller meals. Having a very full stomach increases your chances of having heartburn.
- Do not lie down or exercise for 2 to 3 hours after you eat. When you are sitting up, gravity helps drain food and stomach acid into your stomach.
- Avoid eating large meals and snacks just before bedtime.
- Avoid chocolate, fatty or fried foods, and peppermint- or spearmint-flavored foods.
- Do not drink alcohol (including beer or wine), coffee and other caffeinated drinks, or carbonated drinks.
- Limit acidic foods, such as grapefruit, oranges, tomatoes, or vinegar.
- Limit spicy foods that contain lots of pepper or chilies.
- Avoid tight clothing. Tight belts, waistbands, and panty hose that press on your stomach
- Put blocks underneath your bed frame or use a foam wedge under your mattress to raise the head of your bed 6 in. to 8 in. Using extra pillows to raise your head does not work because pillows cause you to bend at your waist, which squeezes stomach acid up farther and can make heartburn worse.
- Be careful when lifting and bending. Bending over tends to increase reflux. When lifting, bend at the knees.
- Do not take aspirin and similar drugs (meds that cause bleeding), which can irritate the esophagus and stomach, or take them with food or an antacid. For mild to moderate pain relief, try taking another nonprescription medicine, such as acetaminophen (for example, Tylenol).
- Make sure that you stand or sit up when you swallow pills. Take a few sips of water to moisten your throat before you swallow the medicine. Drink a full glass of water to swallow the medicine. Do not lie down right after you take a medicine.
- Do not smoke or use other tobacco products. Smoking causes the valve between the esophagus and the stomach to relax and not close completely. This allows stomach acid to back up (reflux) into the esophagus.
- Maintain a healthy weight. Lose weight if you are overweight. Being overweight puts added pressure on your stomach and increases the chances that stomach acid will back up into the esophagus. Even losing a few pounds can decrease your chance of developing heartburn or reduce your symptoms.
There are several types of antacids now available without a prescription. It may be valuable to understand the differences.
Acid Neutralizers (Tums, Mylanta, Maalox, Gaviscon, Pepto-Bismol, Kaopectate)
Many people take these nonprescription antacids for mild or occasional heartburn. If you use antacids more than just once in a while, talk with your doctor.
- Antacids, such as Tums, Mylanta and Maalox, neutralize some of the stomach acid for 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on whether the stomach is full or empty. Liquid or dissolving antacids usually work faster than tablet forms.
- Some antacids, such as Gaviscon, have a foaming agent (alginate) that acts as a barrier between stomach acid and the esophagus.
- Antacids such as Pepto-Bismol coat the esophagus and act as a barrier to reflux acid. Pepto-Bismol should not be used for more than 3 weeks and you should not take it if you can't take aspirin. It may make your tongue or stools black. The black color is usually not serious. Brushing your teeth and tongue after taking Pepto-Bismol may keep your tongue from turning black. If your child or teen gets chickenpox or flu, do not treat the symptoms with nonprescription medicines that contain bismuth subsalicylate (such as Pepto-Bismol and Kaopectate). If your child has taken this kind of medicine and he or she has changes in behavior with nausea and vomiting, call your doctor. These symptoms could be an early sign of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious illness. Ask your doctor if your child younger than 12 should take these medicines.
Acid neutralizers work faster than acid reducers (H2 blockers and Proton Pump Inhibitors ), but their effect lasts only 1 to 2 hours. H2 blockers can provide relief for up to 12 hours. Proton pump inhibitors can last up to 24 hours.
Acid neutralizer side effects: diarrhea, constipation or interfere with how your body absorbs other medicines.
If you have any health risks, talk with your doctor before you start taking an antacid. If you have kidney disease, it is especially important to discuss antacid use with your doctor. Regular use of antacids that contain magnesium or aluminum can cause a dangerous buildup of magnesium or aluminum in people who have kidney disease.
Stomach acid reducers: 2 types
Acid reducers can sometimes change the way other medicines work. If you are taking prescription medicines, be sure to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you take a nonprescription acid reducer.
- H2 blockers (Pepcid AC, Tagamet HB, Zantac 75, or Axid AR) Acid reducers, also called histamine receptor (or H2) blockers, decrease the amount of acid that the stomach makes for 12 hours. This may reduce irritation to the stomach lining, decrease heartburn and symptoms of acid reflux.
- Proton pump inhibitors (Prilosec, Prevacid, Protonix, AcipHex, Nexium) Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as omeprazole - Prilosec OTC, reduce stomach acid for 24 hours. You may need to use a PPI for several weeks or at a higher dose before you have relief of your acid reflux symptoms. To date, they have an excellent safety record for long-term use. They also are safe to use if you have kidney or liver problems. Some PPIs are available without a prescription.
Testimonial: I did not believe it when I was asked to take medication to eliminate acid in my stomach, but within one month I noticed a marked improvement in my sinuses, my cough, my excess mucus and my tightness in the chest. Gary Moroch

A new patent filing placed by Apple has emerged in the US with the Cupertino firm reportedly looking to register the exclusive use of 3D gesture controls for touchscreen devices.
Whilst current multipoint gesture controlled touchscreens allow users to utilise a series of multi-touch gestures to select and manipulate onscreen content, Apple's latest patent filing looks set to add an extra dimension to such controls.
Making use of gestures based on intuitive "physics metaphors" the patented technologies would use motion sensors to recognise onscreen to off-screen gesture motions and replicate the desired motion in the device's open programmes and applications.
Whilst it is unknown exactly when Apple intends to rollout such 3D technologies across its touchscreen touting devices it is not expected the patented tech will feature in the upcoming iPhone 5 release date that is also expected to see the arrival of the iPad 3 or iPad 2 Plus as well as a new iPod Touch device and a HD Apple TV unit.
What applications do you think could best benefit from 3D gesture controls? Let us know via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

Update: Confirmation/statement from Nordic Games below. The short version? "We can and will not settle for second-best solutions in the case of Darksiders."
Original: Things were not looking so great for, er, Death for a little bit there. THQ had a run-in with its own sort of reaper, and the Darksiders license sat in limbo seemingly unwanted for ages. That is, until Nordic Games scooped it up along with roughly one trillion other pieces of THQ's flaming wreckage. But it's not like the Painkiller: Hell & Damnation publisher can just churn out sequels to everything from Red Faction to Supreme Commander. You'd figure, then, that Darksiders is probably stuck on the sidelines – not pushing up daisies, but not pushing blocks or scything occult beasties either. Former series creative director Joe Madureira, however, claims we might not have to wait long to see something new after all.

Learning from the Kursk Submarine Rescue Failure: The Case for Pluralistic Risk Management
During a military exercise in August 2000, a state-of-the-art Russian nuclear submarine, the Kursk, sank in the Barents Sea, triggering global media attention and an international rescue effort. In addition to Russia's Northern Fleet, two other organizations got involved in the rescue operation: the UK Submarine Rescue Service and a Norwegian offshore-diving company. Between them, these three parties seemingly had all that was needed to rescue the trapped sailors, yet the entire crew was lost. How did this happen? In this paper, focusing on the multiparty "virtual organization" formed by Russian, British, and Norwegian forces during the Kursk rescue mission, the authors explore the organizational, cultural, and structural origins of coordination failure. Then, reflecting on the limited ability of traditional, diagnostic risk management controls to address the demands of situations such as this, they call for the inclusion of pluralistic control principles into the risk-management practices of complex, multiparty organizations.

The Triumph of the Humble Chief Risk Officer
How do senior risk officers strike a balance between the twin roles of "compliance champion" and "business partner"? Understanding what role risk officers may play in organizational life is especially important in the wake of the 2007-2009 financial crisis, continuing corporate debacles, and ongoing corporate governance calls for the appointment of chief risk officers (CROs) and risk-management committees. This paper tracked the evolution of the role of two highly acclaimed chief risk officers (CROs), and the tools and processes they implemented in their respective organizations. While the companies are from very different industries (one is a power company, the other is a toy manufacturer), they both embraced the concepts and tools of Enterprise Risk Management. Over a number of years, at both firms, risk management transformed from a collection of "off-the-shelf," acquired tools and practices into a seemingly inevitable and tailored control process. The paper investigated the role of the CRO in making these transformations happen and discusses implications for managers. Read More

From Counting Risk to Making Risk Count: Boundary-Work in Risk Management
According to previous research, the cycle of risk management includes counting risk through quantification and aggregation; controlling risk until something like a financial crisis occurs; and then calculating new risks in an attempt to avoid similar crises in the future. In this paper, through case studies carried out at several banks, Harvard Business School professor Anette Mikes introduces the idea that this cycle is contingent upon a "calculative culture," which steers organizations toward successful risk management practices.

The Supreme Court of South Carolina ruled Wednesday that non-governmental entities
that are "public bodies" under the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act cannot
claim that the disclosure requirements of the FOIA violate First Amendment rights
protecting freedom of association or speech.
In August 2009 a Charleston radio personality, Rocky D [Rocky Disabato], made an FOIA request to the S.C. Association of School Administrators (SCASA) seeking access to records relating to the group's efforts to force then Gov. Mark Sanford to accept federal school funds.
SCASA responded in the same fashion as many recipients of public money respond to FOIA requests by denying that it was a "public body" subject to the requirements of open
records and open meetings established by the FOIA. A "public body" is defined in the law as a political subdivision of the state or an entity supported in whole or part by public funds or expending public funds.
Rocky D filed suit. The Circuit Court dismissed the suit before trial on grounds that SCASA was not a public body, and, even if it were, the state law requirement that it have public meetings and disclose its records abridged its rights to associate and speak on political issues.
Writing for a three justice majority Justice Kaye Hearn framed the issue as requiring a reconciliation of "two competing principles of our democratic tradition." Hearn wrote, "We must decide whether the FOIA as applied to the South Carolina Association of School Administrators (SCASA), a non-profit corporation engaged in political advocacy, unconstitutionally infringes upon SCASA's First Amendment speech and association
The Supreme Court reversed the dismissal and remanded the case to the Circuit Court. Significantly, the Supreme Court ruled that the disclosure requirements of the FOIA did not unconstitutionally abridge the First Amendment rights of SCASA.
The South Carolina Press Association together with the South Carolina Broadcasters Association submitted a brief to the court urging a reversal of the Circuit Court order.
The Supreme Court declined to rule on the question of whether SCASA was a public body and subject to the FOIA, stating that such a determination was to be based on facts established from evidence submitted to a trial court. The Supreme Court explained that merely because an entity was a non-profit corporation did not answer the question, relying on the 1991 decision in Weston v. Carolina Research & Development Foundation
where the Greenville News and the Associated Press were successful in establishing that a foundation created by the University of South Carolina and supported by funds from the school was subject to the requirements of the FOIA.
The significance of today's decision lies in foreclosing non-governmental "public bodies" from claiming that the disclosure requirements of the FOIA abridge free speech and free association rights. In future litigation it will still be necessary to provide proof that an entity is supported by public funds or expends public funds, that is not a change, but once that threshold has been met, the public body cannot avoid disclosure by claiming
that disclosure is an abridgement of its First Amendment rights.
Since many chambers of commerce and other groups now receive significant sums of public funds from "Hospitality Tax" coffers to operate, those groups no longer may claim their activities are sheltered from public scrutiny by the First Amendment.
Rocky D may no longer be on the air in Charleston, but the case he started will be of value to South Carolinians who want to see where their tax money is being spent.

Safety Concerns
Traveling with portable music devices, cameras, phones, computers and other electronic gadgets has become a norm among travelers. Although such electronic devices provide added conveniences and entertainment, they also make travelers a target for theft. Therefore depending on the monetary value of the device you may want to get it insured or just leave it at home.
Batteries, International Outlets and Adapters
The biggest inconvenience about traveling with electronics is determining and purchasing the proper adapters required per specific country. Although universal adapters are readily available at travel stores, it is still recommended to bring additional batteries just to be on the safe side. World Electric Guide.
Cameras and Film
If you are bringing a manual camera be sure to bring more than enough film and if you are bringing a digital camera bring a couple of memory cards. Any traveler who has ever had their camera stolen does not care about the monetary loss inflicted, instead they mourn the loss of the memories and that were on the film or memory card. Therefore, it is recommended that you separate your used film from your camera bag and regularly download the picture files from your memory card onto a blank disc, which can easily be done at most internet cafes or photo shops.
Modern advances in technology make methods of communication easy and accessible while traveling abroad.
Computer and Internet Access
The least expensive and easiest way to communicate or keep in touch while traveling abroad is via email. Almost all major tourism destinations are packed with internet cafes, offering quick and easy access to the internet for a small fee. In fact, even most off-the-grid destinations offer some sort of internet access. Therefore, unless it is required for work, it is not necessary, nor advisable to pack a lab-top; chances are you will spend more time worrying about it's safety than physically using it.
Telephones and Cell Phones
Although international mobile service is common, the fees can still be outrageously expensive. So prior to departure be sure to check with your mobile service provider to determine the international rates that you will incur. Purchasing international calling cards is an alternative and usually cheaper method of telecommunication from abroad. Such cards can easily be purchased while abroad and most hotels and internet cafe's have private areas to make calls from.

...Once Upon a time there was a very grumpy man. He worked in a job he hated, working for 'the man' doing meaningless tasks that crushed his soul and soured his mood. He left his job, packed his bags and travelled across the Atlantic in search of mountains covered in the freshest snow. For months he snowboarded every day, loving being in the mountains and loving his life. But, all good things must come to an end. With tears in his eyes and a pain in his heart he returned to his homeland. With no work and little money a decision had to be made. To go back to work for the corporate monster was not a possibility this enlightened man could face, and so with balls of steel (and a ridiculously supportive wife) he sold his house, moved in with his parents and used the money to build his dream - a Snowboard Shop where he could stock his favourite brands and meet likeminded snowboarders.
The result? Eight winters on, and still going strong, We are an independently owned and run snowboard shop that stocks rad brands at decent prices. ALL of the staff are snowboarders so we have first hand experience in the equipment we stock and extensive knowledge about what could work best for your next trip to the mountains. We product test all of our snowboards twice a year in France and Austria and write reviews for the UK's premier snowboard magazines - The Reason and Whitelines.
On top of all this, we keep our prices fair and always try and price match other UK Stores.

Whatever shallow hopes remaining that the 50-state Attorney General investigation into foreclosure fraud would yield anything meaningful has been dashed by this leak of the latest settlement terms, which eliminate mandated principal reductions as a penalty.
After months of stalemate, the state attorneys general have proposed new terms to the top five mortgage servicers that drop some controversial provisions of their first attempt at a settlement, including a push to force banks to reduce principal on thousands of mortgages.
The new offer, which was expected to be discussed at a meeting between the two sides on Tuesday, moves them closer to a final agreement, but does not detail how much state AGs are seeking in penalties for servicing issues uncovered by federal and state regulators.
Banks have privately said that they will not agree to a fine above $10 billion — far below a discredited $20 billion figure floated in the press two months ago — arguing that regulators have not provided evidence that servicing problems led to wrongful foreclosures.
The AGs are considering using whatever money they receive from banks to start a "cash for keys" program to help troubled borrowers move out of their homes and speed the foreclosure process by providing them cash incentives to leave. The funds are also expected to be used to promote mortgage counseling and offer some forebearance to troubled homeowners.
Just to define terms, forbearance essentially delays the foreclosure process by holding back payments. The borrower may not have to pay the mortgage for a couple months, but that money doesn't go away, it just gets tacked on to unpaid principal balance. In the end, the servicer makes MORE money off a forbearance, because they are paid according to a percentage of the principal balance.
Principal reductions may not have been a total panacea to the foreclosure crisis, especially if they were spread out over 3 million borrowers with $30 billion in funds. But principal mods are consistently more durable than any other kind of loan modification. And when choosing between principal mods and basically nothing, which is what the term sheet looks like now (cash for keys??), obviously the former is preferable. [cont'd.]
There are other minor aspects added to the term sheet: borrowers rejected for a permanent mod in HAMP would get to reapply (even though many have lost their homes in the process), expansions of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, disclosure to borrowers of their options prior to foreclosure and a new guarantee on documentation on the mortgage transfer and the note (basically an assurance that the securitization was legal). But if the banks were able to knock out principal reductions so easily, it's hard to hold out hope that anything meaningful will stay in this settlement, either.
That last one, assurances on the accurate transfer and endorsement, may not add up to everything advertised, notes Yves Smith:
The servicers are not going to want to assume responsibility for certifying events beyond their control. It was the originators and the trustees that were responsible for making sure that the securitization was done properly, and the liability for the failure to form the securitization probably rests most heavily on the trustee, who provided multiple certifications that they got all the assets (forgive my being approximate in my use of legal terminology, but conceptually this is accurate).
This ask sounds troublingly like it is setting the stage for a broad waiver of liability for mortgage abuses, a step we have roundly opposed. No one has any business giving broad waivers when they don't know what bad conduct they may be forgiving. And the ample evidence of abuses in the improper application of payments and the use of junk and pyramiding fees suggests there are a lot of bad practices the servicers would love to have forgiven before anyone can attach a dollar tag to what they really are worth.
As I've said, it's time to give this investigation a decent Viking funeral. The penalties keep shrinking, while the scope of the potential waiver of liability keeps broadening. The banks don't seem interested in even this watered-down settlement, unless they clean up all their legal claims in one sweep. And many AGs don't want to give up all that liability, especially given that there's been no investigation in this "investigation" about the extent of the abuses.
That's the reason why there's not going to be a settlement, by the way. Without the knowledge on both sides of the scope of the abuses, via an investigation of the facts, the AGs are just making a guess. And the banks can bluff their way out of that, secure in the knowledge that the opposition doesn't have the information to make a credible ask.
Once again, we're going to have to look elsewhere for justice and accountability in foreclosure fraud.

Sony claims PS4 is 43 times more powerful than the PS2, an unnecessary lie that perpetuates the megahertz myth March 10, 2014 at 1:23 pm
By now, even if you don't consider yourself a hardware nerd, you probably know that the PlayStation 4 is significantly more powerful than the Xbox One. So now we're going to change the conversation a bit, and discuss how much more powerful the PS4 is than the PS2. According to Sony (which produced the infographic pictured above), thanks to the PS4's eight-core CPU, it has 43 times the processing power of the PS2! Of course, this is a completely meaningless comparison — so let's dive in and look at things in a slightly more rational manner.
Reverse engineered PS4 APU reveals the console's real CPU and GPU specs November 20, 2013 at 4:33 pm
A new teardown into the PS4's SoC reveals interesting facets of its design and Sony's need to balance performance against die size.

Palestine under Hasmonean Rule
The marriage of politics and religion contributed to both the expansion and destruction of the Hasmoneans.
By Lee I. Levine
We Also Recommend
In 142 B.C.E. the Great Assembly in Jerusalem named Simeon, the last surviving Maccabee brother, to the posts of high priest, commander and leader and deemed these posts hereditary. When Simeon was assassinated in 134 B.C.E. his son, John Hyrcanus, assumed leadership, establishing the Hasmonean dynasty. The Hasmonean era continued until the invasion of Rome in 63 B.C.E. The following article describes Palestine under Hasmonean rule. It is reprinted with permission from Jerusalem: Portrait of the City in the Second Temple Period (Jewish Publication Society).
Hasmonean Expansion
With the establishment of Hasmonean rule (transformed in 104-103 B.C.E. into a kingdom), Jerusalem entered a new stage of history as the capital of an independent state. While the city had already enjoyed this status for some four hundred years during the First Temple period (c. 1000-586 B.C.E.), it had been reduced to a modest temple-city for the first four hundred years of the Second Temple era (c. 540-140 B.C.E.), serving as the capital of a small and relatively isolated district.
All this changed, however, under the Hasmoneans; as Jerusalem assumed its role as the center of a sizable state, the city's dimensions and fortunes were affected as well. Replacing the district of Yehud in the Persian and Hellenistic eras, the Hasmonean realm expanded greatly, encompassing an area roughly the size of David's and Solomon's kingdoms' and becoming a significant regional power by the beginning of the first century B.C.E. Jerusalem under the Hasmoneans grew fivefold, from a relatively small area in the City of David with some five thousand inhabitants to a population of twenty-five to thirty thousand inhabitants…
Biblical Precedents
As a result of the many Hasmonean conquests, the biblical concept of Eretz Israel–the area of Jewish settlement and sovereignty in ancient Palestine–was significantly expanded. Although today we are aware of the many differences in the delineation of Israel's borders according to various biblical traditions, it is generally agreed that the "Promised Land" included the territory between the Mediterranean Sea and east of the Jordan River, and between the Galilee and the northern Negev. While the boundaries of Yehud for the first four hundred years of the Second Temple period were severely restricted to the area around Jerusalem, a much more expansive understanding of Eretz Israel became a new reality under the Hasmoneans, with enormous ideological and social implications.

"But I think point made by @R_o_M and a few others is crucial - why didn't United buy a top line central midfielder in the summer?"
