Your Cox Services
Get the Most from your Cox Phone Service
Imagine looking out your window one fine day only to see a Cox Field Service Representative working away on your Cox phone box. Upon inquiring about his visit, you find out your home phone's dial tone has been down for a bit – no wonder it's been so quiet – and that he's been sent by Cox to check on it.
In fact, Cox knew your dial tone was down within seconds of it happening. Because it didn't reset itself within the first hour of this discovery, the Cox people monitoring your phone line dispatched a field rep to your home to find out what the problem is and fix it.
Proactive service: That's just one of the many great benefits of being a Cox Digital Phone customer. In turn, Cox provides all its phone customers with cool tools and features to help them customize their phone service to their liking. Considering the great number of features that come with each of our phone plans – most at no extra charge – there's a good chance you might not be using all of them.

Backless Dresses
- 1 of 11Ahh yes, the back is back. While we seriously respect a girl willing to take the plunge and bare it all with a deep neckline, recently we've found ourselves captivated by its reverse counterpart: the backless dress. Whether it's a printed mini dress a la Zoe Saldana or a full-length gown seen on the likes of January Jones, Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Banks, the backless trend is a seamless way to make an au courant statement at any formal function or soira©e this season. Take a look at our carefully garnered picks in today's slideshow to see how our favorite trendsetters donned their own versions of this uber-chic and elegant of-the-moment look!

|Pioneers earn split at TCR
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Saturday, 11 December 2010 10:01
The Watauga High men's and women's basketball teams split their games on Friday night at Baldwin Gymnasium in Asheville.In game one, the WHS women (1-2) suffered their second consecutive loss as they were bested by T.C. Roberson 65-30. The Rams (6-0) broke the game open by outscoring WHS 38-13 in the second and third quarters combined. Cierra McKendrick did most of the damage as she poured in a game-high 18 points. Taylor Feimster chipped in with 12, and the Pioneers committed 35 turnovers.
The Pioneers, depsite a sluggish start by both teams, owned a 13-11 lead at the first-quarter break. But the Rams outscored WHS 18-9 in the second quarter, taking a 29-22 lead at the intermission. And the Rams smothered WHS in the second half, holding WHS to just eight points in the entire second half.
That effort gave TCR an insurmountable 49-26 advantage heading into the final stanza. The WHS women have now scored all of 24 in the second half of their last two games (which includes 16 points in the second half against Avery on December 3). Brooke Rhodes led the Pioneers with 14 points.
In game two, the WHS men (3-0), off to their best start since the 1997-98 season, clobbered T.C. Roberson 73-45. The Pioneers opened up an early five point lead, but the Rams (2-4) came charging back to tie the game. Damian Edwards nailed a three that gave WHS an 8-5 lead and the Pioneers proceeded to pull away from there.
Edwards had a monster game with 19 points and five threes, one shy of his career high of six set last season against TCR at the old Lentz-Eggers Gym.
"What can I say," said WHS coach Rob Sanders. "I'm very pleased with the way we're playing right now. But as a coach, you can always find a flaw or two to work on. But for the most part, I am very impressed with the focus and determination of this team."
The Pioneers broke the game open with a 24-point blitz in the second period and opened up a commanding 44-21 lead at the halftime break. And ironically, they did it without Jake Pifer scoring a single point.
As a matter of fact, Pifer, who has backboned WHS offensively in the first two games of the year with 45 points, only had two points for the game on a pair of free throws in the fourth quarter.
"This team is so unselfish," Sanders said. "Jake saw that other people were stepping up , so he made sure they got the ball in a position to score. That's what makes this team so special. They work very well together."
WHS led by as many as 33 points as they Pioneers defeated T.C. Roberson for the second year in a row. The Rams have lost four in a row. Will Koppenhaver was the only other player in double figures for WHS with 11 points. Caleb Watson and Casey Quinn each had eight points a piece. Kyle Chambers had nine points off the bench. The Pioneers made nine three pointers.
"I've never been on a team that's this deternmined to win," Watson said. "No matter what the situation is, we believe in each other"
WHS travels to Mountain Heritage Saturday night for a make-up game. Our coverage begins at 4:30 pm on Oldies 100.7 FM.

My first headphones and i have to say it has been awesome!
I decided to do a review because i was so surprisingly satisfied with these headphones. The sound that comes out of this headphones has been amazing. I have not owned many headphones and NOT an audiophile therefore i cannot give a detailed description on its sound, and maybe some would disagree. But i love music, and am very particular about the sound!
I mainly listen to rock for example old 80's rock guns n' roses, aerosmith, ac/dc etc. some modern rock/metal for example velvet revolver, trivium, bfmv etc. and some hip-hop. I can say for sure that for hip hop fans this headphones will be very satisfying! As for rock the headphones is a bit too much on the bass but i like it that way (nothing a good equalizer can't fix)
As for design they look sweet as hell with the sennheiser logo at the side, and comfort wise i have worn it for 3 hours straight and didnt feel uncomfortable thanks to the awesome ear and head padding.
Overall this headphones would definitely be a good value for your money! As i live in a small town in asia my choice of headphones were limited, so i recommend do your research first! Hope my review is useful as this is my first review and my knowledge of headphones are limited.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Are you happy? Is America happy? Yes? No? Maybe? The new 170-page United Nations World Happiness Report has the solution. But do nothing and it'll just keep getting worse, as we're headed to a point of no return.
Warning: The next generation of Americans is going to be an extremely unhappy bunch.
Why? Because economists use GDP to measure America's happiness — and GDP is crashing. Yes, gross domestic product is a dumb, very misleading yardstick. GDP is one of the economics profession's worst myths (the other, perpetual growth).
Economists believe that the total dollar value of all goods and services produced by 308 million people measures America's happiness. Yes, money measures how happy we are. Economists say we're happy campers when GDP is growing greater than 3%. But we're unhappy campers when the annual rate is below 3%. Like now.
GDP is crashing, growth dropping to less than 1% by 2050
Yes, it's going to get worse. America is going to be a very unhappy nation in the coming decades, fasten your seat belts. As Bond King Bill Gross put it in his recent newsletter: "Every investor will lose money." Not just some. All losers. He blames it on The Fed's cheap money. It'll go on long after we dump Bernanke and his printing presses.
How bad will it get? Recently CNBC reported that Dr. Doom, Nouriel Roubini, warned a "big market crash" would hit after another raging bull blows a massive bubble, like we did in the 1990s dot-com bubble, with subprime mortgages in 2008. CNBC then quoted former Morgan Stanley global strategist David Roche's warning that the next crash will be "worse than the last one."
Ouch, another $10 trillion market crash? More long recessions wiping out pension billions? Millions more unemployed? More low growth below the 3% GDP happiness benchmark? Bad news, all true.
Why? Economists keep measuring America's happiness in money, things, assets, in higher income, greater wealth, in dollars and stuff. GDP even includes the hundreds of billions spent on the Pentagon War Machine. Does that make you happy?
Sorry, folks, but America's already in deep trouble. And we're sinking deeper. Seriously, project ahead a few decades, till 2050 and beyond. You're looking at a new generation of unhappy campers, like in the 1930's Great Depression, frustrated angry grumps, getting grumpier as the decades pass, as our gross national product goes down, down, down.
Getting worse: Best days behind us, unhappy generation ahead
You do the math, check the history books, analyze macroeconomic trends, then you forecast trends for the next generation. This is not rocket science, just do the math:
From 1980 through 2050, measured by GDP the American economy really is heading down: "The trend for U.S. GDP growth till about 1980 was remarkable: 3.4% a year for a full hundred years." A powerful engine of prosperity was driving the great American Dream. "But after 1980 the trend began to slip," says Jeremy Grantham, the man behind the $100 billion GMO money-management team.
Worse, America is "not going back to the glory days of the U.S. GDP growth."
Wake up: America had a century of high growth and prosperity. But then GDP growth dropped "by over 1.5% from its peak in the 1960s and nearly 1% from the average of the last 30 years." All since the new mind-set of Reaganomics, out-of-control capitalism and Greenspan took over America a generation ago.
America's prosperity 'gone forever' as growth crashes down to 1%
What's ahead? America's long average 3.4% GDP growth rate is dead. Grantham's blunt: "The U.S. GDP growth rate that we have become accustomed to for over a hundred years ... is not just hiding behind temporary setbacks. It is gone forever."

The waiting game continues.
Three military families were supposed to move into their new houses at Deerfield Subdivision by November, according to purchase agreements they signed during the summer. Its now mid-January, but those would-be residents of the development off Route 37 in Pamelia are still waiting for their certificate of occupancy.
Three single-family houses have sat empty since the fall, and two more are nearly complete. But for nearly two months, the three families have been living in hotels at the expense of the housing developer, Beacon Asset Managers of Jacksonville, Fla. The developer plans to build 29 single-family houses and 39 duplexes at the 43-acre site.
Though water and electricity service are now available at the three finished houses, utility workers say a problem with the sewer pump station is to blame for the lingering delay. On Monday, National Grid workers said they still have not received a power transformer correctly designed for the pump station the only missing link. They dont know how long it will take to resolve the problem, which they said was caused by miscommunication between the utility and the developer.
The town blames National Grid. The company, responsible for electrical and natural gas work at the development, said in the fall that the project would be delayed because workers were being diverted due to Hurricane Sandy. But the hurricane, which swept through New York in late October, still doesnt provide a credible explanation for why the project has now been delayed more than two months, said Pamelia code enforcement officer, Walter H. VanTassel.
He said the utility has been responsible for project delays in town before, but this is the most glaring example.
Theyve now dragged a two-week excuse into a two-month excuse, he said. Theres no question in my mind that Ive never seen a delay this bad before.
National Grid signed a $415,000 agreement with the developer stating would start work Oct. 6 and finish Nov. 15.
On Monday, National Grid completed all of the electrical work at the site needed to energize the houses, and subcontractors hired by the company finished work Jan. 9, spokeswoman Virginia J. Limmiatis said. But housing meters cannot be installed yet, she said, because they havent received authorized electrical certificates that are required by all houses in the state.
Mr. VanTassel said a licensed inspector will visit the site today to issue electricity certificates needed for the three houses. But while electricity and water will be available, Mr. VanTassel cannot issue certificates of occupancy from the town of Pamelia needed for families to move in until the pump station is energized.
The power transformer needed at the pump station still needs to be designed, Mr. VanTassel said. Theres power running on National Grids line right down by the pump station, but the transformer is needed to connect it. That pump station was supposed to be ready for National Grids power, but workers are still waiting to see where this transformer is going to come from.
Mr. VanTassel said the problem with the pump station is just the latest of a series of delays. When National Grid eventually started work in mid-November, he said, it began installing electrical lines on the southern side of the development, instead of starting with the three finished houses on the north side.
They did what should have been the last phase of the whole project first, by starting work at the south and then going to the north, Mr. VanTassel said. The last thing they did was connect the houses that are ready to live in. If they had hooked up power first, in two to four weeks they would have been done. Anyone in their right mind would look at National Grid and say they did it backwards.
Workers are now completing foundation work for additional three houses at the site. After that work is complete, an additional seven units will be built that have purchase agreements with buyers. In all, 15 buyers have signed purchase agreements, but none has been able to close.

Purchase Reason
I was looking for an interesting piece to get my wife for Christmas, and this was perfect. My only concern was how long it would take to frame, package and arrive, and as always, I had no reason to be concerned because it showed up much earlier than expected! The piece itself is certainly a conversation starter as well. Can't wait to dig through the site and find another similarly interesting print!

When Holmes gives up the adventurous life of a consulting detective and retires to the Sussex countryside to raise bees, little does he or his old friend Dr. John Watson realize that their greatest adventures lies ahead - an adventure spanning centuries and extending across the solar system.... For nothing less than human civilization lies at state as Sherlock Holmes finds himself moving inexorably toward the final and most terrible confrontation with his ancient enemy, the time-jumping Napoleon of crime, professor Moriarty!

"Delightfully preposterous...a lot of fun!" (The Republic)
"Professor Moriarty, once reported dead, but now rejuventated by the Time Machine which Moriarty has swiped from H.G. Wells' time traveler.... Doyle to H.G. Wells to Dvorkin...nice triple play!" (The New York Times)

If you want to buy an argument about the greatest detective in the world, some of the modern updates are highly entertaining and although I approach some with apprehension, by and large those to be found on audible.com are well up to standard. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the alternatives and this is no exception. If you are a traditionalist, as I was once, it may take a little time to reorient but it is time well spent.

North Carolina Gov. McCrory alleged that slashing early voting was just a way of "compacting the calendar," but the League believes that cutting early voting is clear and simple voter suppression.
From organizing protests and petition drives to filing lawsuits and writing legislative testimony, a look at how the League of Women Voters has helped protect voting rights in 2013.
State and local Leagues throughout the country have been working with government agencies, health care providers and advocates to get the word out to the American people on the Affordable Care Act and its pivotal impact on their lives.
On Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed suit against North Carolina's new voter suppression law. North Carolina's law is just one of an onslaught of attacks on voting rights taking place across states following the Supreme Court's decision against the VRA this summer.
On Monday, North Carolina passed the most suppressive voting law in decades. The League of Women Voters of North Carolina (LWVNC) went straight to action, filing a federal lawsuit to challenge the voting restrictions as racially discriminatory.

I live in the Norristown area and absolutely love to take little trips to downtown Philadelphia. Since I love it so much you would think that I have taken Philly's mass transit regional rail line, SEPTA, into Philadelphia a thousand times. No, no, up until recently I never took the 'ol Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority into Philly or anywhere.
Why Not?
Well, I guess I was always a glutton for punishment. For some reason, for years, I simply drove down the dreaded Schuylkill Expressway ( I 76 ) to get into center city. If you aren't familiar with this torcherous piece of macadam you clearly haven't lived yet. Traffic is non-stop, stop and go. You are barreling down the road one minute (or one second might be a better way of stating this) and slamming on your brakes the next. Most of the road is two lanes of congested, exhaust filled filth that promotes nothing but road rage and demoralization. I swear I take this road sometimes way late at night and still hit a lot of traffic.
Enjoying a nice drive into town does not apply to Philadelphia, at least not from the west. Enjoying this road would be the equivalent to enjoying cold brussel sprouts marinaded in spoiled milk or simply a good clubbing.
What Other Reasons Did You Drive Into Town?
Well, honestly, I liked the freedom of being able to come and going into town as I wished without being a slave to a train schedule. This perceived freedom, as proved to me over years of travelling that God forsaken road, is a myth. SEPTA regional rail trains even on off peak hours run an hour apart at the latest. It could take you an hour alone just to get off Schuylkill's Conshocken curve or to find decent parking in the city (especially if you are new to driving in town).
Why SEPTA?
I hate to sound like an ad for SEPTA. Honestly, I could care less about SEPTA, the train system could be called "Satans Serpent" and I'd still be writing this article (a bit reluctantly, but it wouldn't stop me from taking the train over that, that, ugh, road). Anyway, for one thing, SEPTA upgraded all of their trains recently. They are pretty nice for commuter trains. This is not the same train as the old El that was one of the most wildest rides from Frankford to Center City. These trains are in pretty good shape and fairly comfortable.
Does The Trip Take Long
Nope. Once on the train, from where I get on, it takes a half hour tops. Usually a little less than twenty minutes.
So You Live Near Norristown, Which Station Do You Get On
Well, believe it or not there are two stations in Norristown and I don't use either of them. I'm not real comfortable, especially later at night at either of those stops. If you have any experience with these train stations in Norristown, let me know. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Plus, from what I understand at least one of these stops, maybe both, aren't going to be serviced by SEPTA regional rail and instead you'd have to get a shuttle bus to the next stop in Conshohocken.
I actually drive the ten minutes or so to the SEPTA station in Conshohocken. Parking is free and I like the area. Plus there is a restaurant or two near by for a quick bite or drink if I get to the stop too early.
Getting on Board
If you've never taken the train before, I'll give you a quick lesson on SEPTA regional rail. Check out their website and find the destination you want to go to and the arrival time of the train to the stop you are going to get on at. Time it so that you get there about 10 or 15 minutes early in case the train is running early (which isn't often but still..)
When the train comes, get on board and wait for a conductor to come by. He or she will ask you where you are going. Be sure you know this. There are a number of stops in Philadelphia. The two popular center city stops are Market East Station (near the convention center, Chinatown, Old City) and Suburban Station (kind of on the outskirts of Rittenhouse / Center City / Museum / Fairmount but a good stop if headed to Rittenhouse or one of the adjacent areas).
Unless someone is picking you up and bringing you home, get a round trip ticket, not a one-way. Two one ways cost more than one round trip.
Pay the conductor (exact change is not required, they make change) and enjoy the ride.

Firewall Issues
The problem:
Some military installations and corporate networks have tight network restrictions which do not allow access to proxy servers, such as the one UMUC employs to give remote users access to library resources.
Is my access restricted by a firewall - how can I tell?
Please try the following:
- First, check your browser.
- Then try our proxy server.
- Click this TEST LOGIN link. (Enter your MyUMUC credentials, if prompted.)
- Do you then get taken to a page which says "Congratulations"? If so, then your access is OK.
- If you get a blank page and do not see the Congratulations message, there may be a firewall blocking your access.
- Click this TEST LOGIN link. (Enter your MyUMUC credentials, if prompted.)
- Try another browser on your computer.
For example, if you are using Internet Explorer, try Firefox or Chrome. Does the same thing happen?
- If possible, try another computer on the same network.
Does that computer also have the same issue?
- Still unable to get in?
If you cannot log into our proxy server, you may have restricted access.
Yes, my access appears to be restricted. What are my other options?
- Do you have access to a computer or a network someplace else?
Can you get in from home or from off-base?
- Do you have wireless access?
If you have a wireless device, can you access UMUC Library databases from it? You might try a hotspot connection (if available) or connect through your wireless carrier.
- If at a military installation:
- Are there any less restricted areas around?
Depending on the location, some areas of the base – library or recreation areas - may not be as tightly locked down.
- Does the installation have a library?
If so, check with the base librarian to see what kinds of resources s/he may know about.
- Ask if they can add a rule to the firewall allowing access to ezproxy.umuc.edu (188.8.131.52) on ports 80 and 443. They may consider it.
- If you are at a military installation, you can also contact a UMUC representative at your location and ask them for assistance with this. See Asia Locations and Europe Locations for contact information.
Sometimes services, such as the following, will link to free versions of articles.
Let us know what article you need and that you are at a location with restricted access. We will try to find a copy and e-mail it to you.

The ability to go mobile and take a digital newspaper or magazine with you wherever you go, or read it comfortably while sitting on your sofa, has opened up amazing new opportunities for publishers.
In fact, a just-released survey has found that magazines and newspapers in the U.S. and Canada are becoming more confident in their strategic mobile plans as they diversify their offerings and discover new ways to derive revenue.
The survey from the Audit Bureau of Circulations and ABC Interactive, "Going Mobile: How Publishers Are Maturing and Monetizing Their Offerings," found the number of publishers who say they have a well-developed plan for the mobile market rose to 59%, up from just 28% in 2009.
"This year's survey results show the great strides publishers have made during the last two years and how they are preparing for a future where smartphones and tablets are a ubiquitous part of everyday life," said Neal Lulofs, executive vice president and general manager, ABC Interactive.
In fact, the survey found 85% of respondents said they currently have mobile content for smartphones, e-readers or tablet devices, up from 76% last year. Newspapers (88%) were most likely to have mobile initiatives in place, followed closely by consumer magazines (83%) and business publications (79%).
Publishers in the U.S. and Canada are also investing in optimized mobile websites. Eighty-one percent of U.S. publishers and 65% of Canadian publishers said this was an important part of their strategic plans. Respondents said mobile websites often account for up to 15% of their overall website impressions.
Despite all this progress, publishers are still faced with a large number of older readers who are just not comfortable reading on mobile devices or computers. After all, many of these consumers have been reading print publications their whole lives and just may not be ready, or see any need, to make the switch to digital.
Some publishers have found a solution to this problem using Tag. By the strategic use of Tags in their print publications, publishers are able to incentivize their readers to try out their digital offerings, or just foster a closer, more interactive relationship with them.
An excellent example is personal finance magazine Kiplinger, which is using Tag to drive users to its mobile site, rich in features and content. At the site, subscribers can easily log in to their accounts and interested parties can also sign up for free E-Alerts from a drop down link at the top of the mobile site. There is also an easy option to subscribe from the drop down menu.
Other publishers are using Tag to supplement their print offerings with extra digital content. For example, publications from Time Inc. partnered with advertiser Crisco Oil to use Tags in Crisco ads that resolve to short recipe videos of Chef Billy in action. Chef Billy shows the best uses for the oil, how to easily prepare the recipe and gives other tips and tricks.
Women's Day also made a lot of use of Tag in its September issue, which it promoted as an Interactive Issue. First, Women's Day created a custom Tag with an autumn-colored leaf to go with the theme. It is also featuring 20 Tags in different editorial and advertising pages throughout the magazine. Tag scanners were able to enter to win items such as gift cards, jewelry, skincare products, pizza party packs and all sorts of goodie bags. On the editorial pages, readers could scan and enter to win prizes such as a laptop, handbag and perfume. Also, Tag scanners were entered to win $1,000 simply by scanning any three Tags in the magazine. And of course each time someone entered to win one of the many prizes, they were also able choose to receive more information from the advertiser and receive future Women's Day news and promotions.
And lastly, Martha Stewart Weddings partnered with Tag for its "Scan to Win" contest. Seventeen of the ads in the Fall 2011 issue included customized Tags that resolved to the mobile web pages of the participating sponsors. With each unique scan readers were entered to win a prize, including the top prize of $1,000.
These are just some of the pioneering uses of Tag by publishers in this newly emerging mobile digital world. And with such a versatile, consumer-friendly technology, there will certainly be a lot more to come.

HealthCall:Brief Intervention to Reduce Non-injecting Drug Use in HIV Primary Care Clinics
- Full Text View
- Tabular View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Among HIV-infected individuals, non-injection drug use (NIDU) is associated with poor HIV medication adherence, greater HIV/AIDS risk behaviors, and increasing non-AIDS mortality. Thus reducing NIDU among HIV infected individuals is critical to their survival and to limiting the spread of HIV. We propose to study the efficacy of a technologically enhanced brief intervention (HealthCall) to reduce NIDU in HIV primary care patients that demands little from busy medical staff and is well accepted by patients. In a 3-arm randomized clinical trial will test the efficacy of (a) Motivational Interviewing (MI)+HealthCall; (b) MI-only; and (c) a control condition (advice + DVD HIV health education) in reducing NIDU.
Mental and Behavioral Disorders Due to Multiple Drug Use and Use of Other Psychoactive Substances: Harmful Use
Behavioral: HealthCall and Motivational Interviewing

|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: HealthCall +Motivational Interviewing
Patients access HealthCall by calling a toll-free number and putting a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). The HealthCall system will then ask a short script of pre-recorded questions in English or Spanish, on substance use and other variables (e.g., medication adherence, unprotected sex, feeling of physical well-being, stress, etc).
Behavioral: HealthCall and Motivational Interviewing
A basic behavioral intervention used in the 3 arms including the Motivational Interview (MI), the two components of HealthCall (IVR, personalized feedback) and the advice+DVD educational control arm.
Active Comparator: Motivational Interviewing (MI)
The MI session focuses on reduce ambivalence and increase motivation to reduce non-injection drug use (NIDU), gain a commitment to change, if possible, and ultimately to reduce or eliminate NIDU. The intervention includes: a) identifying pros and cons of using and stopping; b) exploring ambivalence about stopping NIDU; c) eliciting change talk
Behavioral: Motivational Interviewing (MI)
A basic behavioral intervention used in the 3 arms including the Motivational Interview (MI), the two components of HealthCall (IVR, personalized feedback) and the advice+DVD educational control arm.
Placebo Comparator: HIV/AIDS health education - DVD control
HIV/AIDS health education - DVD control. The purpose of this condition is to control for clinical attention associated with Motivational Interviewing (MI)participation, and to provide an analogue of standard care, i.e. brief advice but no other intervention.
Behavioral: HIV/AIDS health education
A basic behavioral intervention used in the 3 arms including the Motivational Interview (MI), the two components of HealthCall (IVR, personalized feedback) and the advice+DVD educational control arm.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- All research volunteers will be 18 and older and HIV positive. We will include participants whose primary drug is non-injection use of cocaine, opioids including heroin, or methamphetamines and current use in the past 30 days > 4 days. Participants will need to complete a medically supervised detoxification if such detoxification is required.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Excluded are research volunteers for whom participation would not be clinically appropriate, who clearly could not participate. Psychotic, suicidal or homicidal patients require clinical management that is too intensive for this study, and we have no evidence that MI+HealthCall would be effective among injection drug users. Leaving New York precludes follow-up. Gross psychomotor/cognitive impairments that may hinder patients' HealthCall use. Hearing and severe vision impairments that preclude telephone use precludes randomization to MI+HealthCall.

Pro Wrestling: 'What you see out there basically is real'
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. -- The sweet smell of revenge tinged the air as angry Mike Modest and West Coast Wrestling Connection champ C.Q. Gallo defend their tag team title against the Shoot to Kill duo.
Bodies slammed against the ropes and the smack of flesh against the mat resonated loudly through Springfield's Regional Sports Center.
The West Coast Wrestling Connection conquered the town with their 4th Anniversary Show last Saturday night.
"What you see out there basically is real," explained WCWC Coordinator Jeff Manning. "Yes, people know that some of what goes on in pro wrestling is scripted, predetermined, but when you get through watching our show tonight you will understand that we are a little bit different."
An amped up audience booed, barked and even squirted water in the faces of the so-called villainous wrestlers that entered the ring or moved the wrestling down onto the floor -- or out among the spectator's seats.
Crowd interaction was encouraged; the wrestlers thrive off its electric energy.
Pumped up fans know that only in the world of professional wrestling is it okay to smash a chair over your nemesis' head, body slam your opponent to the ground and trash talk about it when the fight is over.
The heroes and the villains took to the sweat-stained ring to defend their titles or gain more respect by winning their fight. Colorful spandex costumes paired with equally colorful stage personalities dominated the blue roped ring.
This is entertainment at its finest. Part theatrics and part athleticism, it's easy to get caught up in the adrenaline-filled excitement that permeates the event. Between strong clashing personalities, a rowdy crowd and matt slamming, chair-smashing, high-flying jumps the world of professional wrestling will no doubt rouse your emotions and get you cheering, booing and chanting on your feet.
And the crowd got what they came for. The night opened with a Battle Royal, in which nearly a dozen wrestlers entered the ring for a free-for-all match, the winner being the last man standing.
In brief strategic alliances, opponents and blood enemies paired up to toss larger opponents over the ropes to the hard floor below.
No move was too dirty, no body part off limits, and no one safe from brutal attack.
Toes were stomped.
Stomachs kicked.
Bodies slammed.
Eyes gouged.
Chairs busted over heads.
Of course it is exaggerated. Of course it is theatrics. Of course a hell of a lot of it is just plain fake. But that's not the point. The point is it is all entertaining.
Very entertaining.
And besides, it doesn't really matter how many times you practice being thrown out of a wrestling ring onto the hard floor 12 feet below: it has to hurt.
The pain has to be real, most of it anyway. Even if the staggering around the ring and numerous incidences of being knocked unconscious are, well, a bit hard to believe, it takes enormous athletic ability and near ballet grace to dive off the top of 10-foot lockers onto two grown men below without being seriously injured.
Do you want to get knocked head-over-heels by a 315-pound man in black spandex pants and green boots, even with practice?
The grand finale, a tag team match, delivered all the thrills the true believers and skeptics could have wished for from a night of wrestling.
Of course, to call it a tag team match is to use the sport's lingo loosely. The head smashing, arm twisting, eye poking and double-flip-kick-you-in-the-chest-and-drive-my-elbow-into-your-throat action took place as much outside the ring as inside.
And it seemed that any interested wrestler could join in the mayhem if the mood hit him, chair bashing over the head optional. Even when the match was over, it wasn't over. As the two victors raised their hands in triumph, they were blind-sided by two wrestlers who had snuck into the ring behind them, then proceeding to beat the victors senseless.
And the crowd loved every crazy moment of it, down to the last plea for mercy, bull roar answer, and demonic laughing taunt.
Any novice with no understanding of the sport could be excused for tallying up the carnage as three fatalities, six broken ribs, two serious spinal injuries, several cases of head trauma and at least a couple dozen felonies.
But at the end of it all, every single wrestler, including the ones who appeared lifeless just moments before, rose to the cheers of the crowd, like Lazarus in his cave. Having been miraculously resurrected, they'll be back in a couple of weeks to assault each other with reckless abandon again.
Just as viciously.
And that's the beauty of it all.

At the 2012 Town Meeting in Lowell an article against the Lowell wind project was on the ballot but was passed over by voice without discussion or a vote on it.
"It is apparent from the record that the effect of the motion to pass over Article 8 was to effectively dismiss the article without further debate," the Supreme Court justices wrote.

The Wellington City Cemetery will control vehicle traffic over the Memorial Day holiday by setting up designated parking spaces for visitors. Visitors will be able to drive to the cemetery as usual, but will have to walk a short distance to the graves.
Mayor Ben Blackburn explained that the traffic regulation is necessary to protect gravestones and grounds during the holiday. This will prevent people from driving around cars that have stopped on the narrow access roads, which could do damage when leaving the road.

Read: Money Isn't An Issue To Wade Redden
At Howlings, Bruce Berlet spoke with Wade Redden as the Whale had their break up day yesterday.
Redden said that he hasn't talked to his agent yet and that money isn't an issue to him.
He said nearly the same thing a month ago and two months ago.
While in Hartford, Redden was a mentor to Ryan McDonagh.
I guess it doesn't matter what Redden does until training camp. He will be on the summer cap come July 1 and the Rangers will go about their business figuring that he won't be on the NHL roster and that his cap hit will come off as soon as it can. If money doesn't matter to him, and he wants to play in the NHL, you have to think that he will void his contract and move on.
The only issue is going to be how much cap space the Rangers have to sign all of their RFA's and then UFA's and that some guys may need to wait until Redden can be cleared, to sign their contracts. I would think that the Rangers and their RFA's could come to terms on a deal and just wait to file it with the league until they have the space.

Thanks for contributing. Both interesting comments. We all have one thing in common. I too am surprised that those of religious faith always think that we atheists are "evil". I agree with you both that one of the best things that we can do is to get out there and make ourselves known.
I had an interesting experience with a boss a few years back who was unhappy with the way I approached my job. He said to me, "You know what your problem is; your a goddamn athiest." It was very eye opening and explained a lot of the problems we had communicating with each other. I had never realized up until that point that whenever I came and spoke with him that in the back of his mind was a little voice in a continuous loop saying "He's an atheist, He's an atheist, He's an atheist, ..."
I think it was very hard for him to reconcile ... well ... everything about me.

The Rundown: What Type of Business is This Again?
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comLast week Jets owner Woody Johnson spoke to the press and answered a number of questions about the Jets, his coaching staff, the stadium, Tim Tebow (of course), and whether or not he was alarmed by the amount of pub his team was getting this year.
On if he likes the amount of interest in his team…
Absolutely. We are in a media business and we want to give our fans an insight and the fact that they're interested, I think works out well for us. We'd rather have them interested in it rather than apathetic and not paying attention.
I respect that Johnson wants to give his fans more of a window into his team's daily operations and that he is probably pleased that the Jets are a lazy First Take producer's dream. That's all good for fans who want to hear national outlets to talk more about their team, the Jets. But … my first reaction was to say, "wow did Woody really just say that 'we are in a media business?' Really?"
It seems like Peter Schwartz of CBS New York was similarly struck by the comment.
Are you kidding me?
The Jets are in a media business?
This is one of the dumbest things that an owner can say, and it's even more reason that the Jets' media relations department should never make him available to reporters. How can you possibly tell your fans that you're in a media business when the team that you share your stadium with has done nothing but win and win and win and win since the last time that your team has won?Johnson is going to get a pass from the rest of the beat reporters on this, but not from me. A championship team starts with a commitment from the top. I just don't see that from Johnson.
It is a poor comment for Johnson to make and I get where Schwartz is coming from and I don't disagree that it comes off as wrong. But I do think there's an overlooked distinction. At it's worst, the comments make it sound like Woody is just in it for the "Kardashian" of it all – and is prioritizing manufactured drama over getting Jets fans some long-awaited hardware.
I do think that winning a championship is very important to Woody Johnson, as evidenced by his comments in Greg Bishop's profile of the Jets owner for the New York Times back in 2010.
Johnson pointed at Ryan's Super Bowl ring from Baltimore and said: "That's what it's about, Rex. We're going to win this thing. And when we do, I'm going wear it every day."
Johnson wants to win a title badly, but the simple truth is that the NFL is as powerful, lucrative and popular because it is in the media and entertainment industry. Fans (myself included) never like to hear that it's just entertainment, but it's true. In the United States, there is no broadcast property that brings in more money to license content than the NFL. Because of the fragmentation of audiences the NFL remains one of the very few broadcast properties that can guarantee a large and diverse audience and do so in a live format. Mark Cuban wrote about the phenomenon of live TV and why it's so valuable on his website last January. Right now, that's worth about four billion dollars annually and by the time the NFL's contracts run out in 2022, the NFL will be earning close to twice that figure.
It might be over-simplistic to say say football teams are about winning, just as it's over-simplistic to say football is a media business. But for sports fans, the only business that teams should be in is "winning" — that's what fans want to hear. Woody Johnson has owned the team long enough to know better and should have known the comment would come off poorly.
So what should he have said?
One of the smartest things that I've started hearing owners say recently is to refer to themselves as "caretakers" of teams. It's something that John Henry's ownership group (Red Sox, Fenway Racing, A.S. Roma) talks about a lot. Here's something that A.S. Roma's new CEO Mark Pannes said after the organization was taken over by the Henry group:
"This is clearly a meritocracy," Pannes said. "If you win, fans are going to be happy. We are caretakers for this club. You can't own A.S. Roma any more than you can own the Colloseum, right? We're stewards, and at some point we'll hand our club on to the next ownership group, and when we do, we hope we've left it in a much better position than when we found it."
There's no denying that Pannes and Henry will earn a lot of money some day when they sell the famous soccer club, but what fans want to hear is that the owners are looking out for the best interests of their fans … not just the owner's interests. Talking about the team as being in the media business essentially breaks the illusion of what professional sports is about, and it generally sits poorly with the very fans.
In the end, I don't want to hear Woody Johnson just start using the "caretaker" buzzword when he talks about the team solely because it's going to scratch fans' collective itch when it comes to their concerns about what's really important to ownership, but at the same time, Johnson can't go making half-baked comments like he did either. The best way to prove that winning is the most important thing to fans, is by actually winning. Let's hope that this year leaves no doubt about that.

Fisker Automotive, the company founded by automobile designer Henrik Fisker (pictured) in 2007 and funded in part with U.S. taxpayer monies, announced his departure on Wednesday due to "disagreements," according to the New York Times. This could be the final straw as the company has faced a nearly unending series of problems since it first started shipping its high-end electric plug-in subcompact Fisker Karma in late 2011.
After raising more than $1 billion in private equity capital and obtaining a line of credit of another $500 million from the U.S. Department of Energy, the company claims to have sold and delivered about 2,000 Karmas to wealthy individuals who can afford the $100,000+ price tag. The Karma received accolades when it was first introduced back in 2008 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, including being named as Vehicle of the Year, one of the "Green Design 100" by Time magazine, and the "Luxury Car of the Year" by Top Gear magazine. But difficulties delayed getting the car into buyers' hands until late 2011 at which time Consumer Reports magazine bought one for testing. It paid $107,850 for the vehicle and within 200 miles began to have trouble with it. In its March 2012 blog entitled "Bad Karma," CR reported:
We have owned our car for just a few days; it has less than 200 miles on its odometer. While doing speedometer calibration runs on our test track ... the dashboard flashed a message and sounded a "bing" showing a major fault. Our technician got the car off the track and put it into Park to go through the owner's manual to interpret the warning. At that point, the transmission went into Neutral and wouldn't engage any gear through its electronic shifter except Park and Neutral.
We let the car sit for about an hour and restarted it. We could now engage Drive and the same error message disappeared. After moving it only a few feet the error message reappeared and when we tried to engage Reverse the transmission went straight to Park and again no motion gear could be engaged.
After calling the dealer, which is about 100 miles away, they promptly sent a flatbed tow truck to haul away the disabled Fisker.
We buy about 80 cars a year and this is the first time in memory that we have had a car that is undriveable before it has finished our check-in process.

One of the things we admire most about the wonderful and beautiful Rose Byrne is her incredible versatility on screen. This is, after all, a woman who can camp it up as Get Him to the Greek's obnoxious pop star Jackie Q, play the prim overachiever Helen in Bridesmaids, and allure audiences with her brilliantly manipulative performance as lawyer Ellen Parsons on Damages, which is currently in its fifth and final season. (Note: she will be starring alongside Ryan Gosling in The Place Beyond the Pines later this year.) Similar accolades can be said about Byrne on the fashion front too, where the Australian actress consistently makes directional fashion choices while staying true to her polished, ladylike aesthetic; the result is a range of ultra-chic and on-trend looks! We were wildly excited when Byrne, one of the WWW office's most beloved actresses and sartorial tastemakers, agreed to be this month's Guest Editor, a job which included everything from revealing her need-to-know beauty secret to her favorite runway looks. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! Read below to see all of Byrne's summer essentials.
Rachel Roy Tuck Sleeve Dress ($398) in Flame
It's easy to see why our GE is drawn to this bold dress by Rachel Roy; the modest, feminine cut speaks perfectly to Byrne's understated, Parisian-chic sensibilities, while the bright red hue mimics her more playful side. "What a color," Byrne says. "This dress screams summer!"
Mulberry Lily Bag with Tiger Plaque ($2000) in Tiger Hair Calf Oak
Of all the amazing handbag designers to choose from, Byrne named Mulberry as her go-to. "Mulberry has done it again!" Byrne says. "Who doesn't love some leopard to feel a bit hip and Brooklyn?" This tiger-print carrier will inject your ensembles with just the right amount of playfulness, while maintaining the chic and luxurious look we've come to love of the brand's famed Lily bag.
Girl. by Band of Outsiders Tweed Jacket ($565)
Our GE always manages to track down the coolest little jackets, so it is no surprise she named this drool-worthy tweed version from Girl. by Band Of Outsiders as her top pick for the season. While Byrne called out its cropped cut and classic shape, the rich jewel tones and metallic-like thread are also worth noting. Styling suggestion: "It's perfect with a pair of jeans," Byrne says.
Zara Tie Print Shirt with Contrasting Collar ($80)
Though Byrne professed her love for polka-dot blouses--"I have a recent love affair with all things spots because they can jazz up an outfit easily"--she also noted this silky top from Zara as one of her favorites. "It's very cool," Byrne says, and with its visually intriguing geometric print and contrast lining, we couldn't agree more!
B Brian Atwood Francoise Crystal-Detail Suede Platform Pumps ($395)
A quick look at Byrne's repertoire will tell you that the actress is a connoisseur when it comes to black heels. "I have many pumps, but invariably always end up with a simple black pump, as it's the most flattering and cool," Byrne says. Accordingly, she selected this jazzed-up style from the current B Brian Atwood collection. Black crystals embellished on the platform and heels make them ideal party shoes!
Russell Organics Rose Hip Oil ($21)
If you've ever wondered how Byrne maintains her flawless skin, we've finally got the answer: rose hip oil! An excellent choice for our GE's sensitive skin, Russell Organic's Rose Hip Oil is packed with nutrients and vitamins that help restore and moisturize the skin, while reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
TEXTILE Elizabeth and James Iggy Jeans ($198) in Heaven
Finding the right pair of jeans can be tricky, and nobody knows this better than Byrne. "Jeans are always the most difficult to buy," Byrne says. "These TEXTILE Elizabeth and James Iggy Jeans are keepers." We second that statement, thanks to their relaxed fit and perfectly worn-in wash. It's just a hunch, but we have a feeling Byrne would style them with a chic button-up and black pumps for a casual fashion fete.
Favorite Party Looks
When it comes to dressing up for a soiree, Byrne turns to the F/W 12 runways for inspiration. "It depends on the party, but Look 21 at Chanel is so chic and downtown-I would feel cool and comfortable," Byrne says. However, if the party in question was on a much bigger, fancier scale, she would definitely reach for Valentino's gorgeous Round Neck Sleeveless Gown with Multicolor Embroidery ($25,0000, available at Valentino boutiques).
Favorite Runway Look
When we asked Byrne about her favorite runway look, she surprised us with her answer: Look 39 from the Marc Jacobs F/W 12 show, which is comprised of the Berry and Dark Gray Mink Mont Blanc Hat ($6900, 212.343.1490) paired with the Berry Boucle Lame Double Breasted Jacket ($2000, 212.343.1490), Black Boucle Lame Skirt ($875, 212.343.1490), and Ivory Boucle Lame Pants ($975, 212.343.1490). "It is so theatrical, whimsical, and fabulous-it takes fashion to the fantasy where it lives," Byrne says. "I was lucky enough to see that show, and I was totally transported."
House of Lavande Made In Italy Sunset Swarovski Crystal Double Tassel Earrings ($775, 561.802.3737)
We first noticed Byrne's penchant for statement earrings at the Academy Awards earlier this year, when she expertly finished her sequin Vivienne Westwood gown with a pair of chic Chanel shoulder-grazers. Today, however, she's eager to test-drive these tassel earrings by House of Lavande, which are sure to make a glamorous accompaniment to any evening look. "Penny Lovell, my stylist, introduced me to this jewelry designer," Byrne says. "I love their aesthetic."--Jessica Baker

Michigan Company Unveils EV Systems Manufacturing Facility
April 25, 2012
The Energy Department on April 16 announced the opening of an electric vehicle (EV) component manufacturing facility in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. The Magna E-Car Systems plant received $40 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funding from the Energy Department. The facility will provide components for EV systems, including those in the 2012 Ford Focus EV. It helps support the department's EV-Everywhere Challenge, a broad initiative to make EVs more affordable and convenient to own than today's gasoline-powered vehicles within the next 10 years.
The 50,000-square-foot-production facility will be able to manufacture a variety of EV components in high volume under one roof, and next year it will be able to produce 500,000 EV components. Production has already started, and at full production, the plant will be able to manufacture electric motors, power electronics, battery chargers, and vehicle controllers, enabling it to assemble complete electric vehicle drivetrains. The Magna E-Car Systems plant is one of 30 advanced battery and electric drive manufacturing facilities supported by the Recovery Act. See the DOE press release and the DOE Vehicle Technologies Program website.

Reviews for Mom's Swedish Meatballs
Sort By :
"To save time, I went to Costco and purchased a bag of meatballs. Heated them in the over at 400 degrees and used the drippings from there. I love this recipe!! Very easy to make and doesn't take long to cook."
"Absolutely delicious! Only difference I would make is halving the recipe next time as it's only my husband and me in our house right now."
"This has become a family favorite of ours. Most of the time there aren't enough drippings-just add a couple pats of butter. You just need to make a roux to thicken the sauce. Also, I use beef bouillon instead of spending the money on consomme. We love these!!!"
"I gave this 4 stars because it really was delicious, but I have made this twice following the recipe exactly and both times the gravy was clumpy. The meatballs left hardly any drippings to work with, they fall apart a bit from the onions, and very time consuming. I will make it again but I may try frozen meatballs next time just to save time"
"Delicious. My picky eaters devoured it and the leftovers! I will be making this again...and again!"
