DENVER, CO Doctors have long sought a way to directly measure the brain's temperature without inserting a probe through the skull. Now researchers have developed a way to get the brain's precise temperature with a device the diameter of a poker-chip that rests on a patient's head, according to findings presented May 1 at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies in Denver.
"This is the first time that anyone has presented data on the brain temperature of a human obtained non-invasively," said principal researcher Dr, Thomas Bass, a neonatologist at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters in Norfolk, Va., and a professor of pediatrics at the hospital's academic partner, Eastern Virginia Medical School.
The research also suggests that an injured brain can be significantly warmer than the body, a finding critical to cooling therapies that reduce brain damage in everyone from elderly heart attack victims to hypoxic newborns.
"Knowing the actual brain temperature may allow us to improve outcomes by keeping the brain at an optimum temperature," said Dr. Bass.
With the help of a $750,000 National Institutes of Health grant, a research team led by Dr. Bass adapted an instrument that calculates temperatures by detecting microwave emissions produced by all human tissue.
Those microwaves pass unimpeded through the skull, like light passing through a sheet of glass. As tissue temperatures increase, the emissions grow more intense. Engineers calibrated the device to measure the temperature of brain tissue 1.5 centimeters beneath the skull.
In the trial whose results were presented, the device was placed on the heads of infants undergoing cooling therapy at CHKD. The device's brain temperature readings were correlated with rectal and esophageal temperatures. The difference in temperature between the brain and the body recorded by other means was as high as 5.4% Fahrenheit.
"That's difference is

The U.S. Congress has not been getting much positive support in recent years from citizens for its fiscal decisions. The debt is racking up, the economy remains sluggish, and no one seems capable of compromising on anything.
This is likely, at least due in some part, to the fact that so few members of congress have any background or experience in business or economics. DefeattheDebt shows that well over half of current congress members graduated from college with degrees in either government or humanities. These degrees may be beneficial for some politicians, but the collective lack of economic understanding in congress is clearly not helping the nation's fiscal situation.

All five Wetherspoon pubs in and around Sunderland have been recognised at the Best Bar None awards for the area.
The Lambton Worm, The William Jameson and The Cooper Rose (all in Sunderland), as well as The Wild Boar (Houghton-le-Spring) and The Sir William de Wessyngton (Washington), were all awarded in the Wearside Best Bar None annual initiative.
The Lambton Worm won gold for the 'best pub', with The William Jameson and The Sir William de Wessyngton both picking up a silver in the 'best pub' category.
A gold award went to The Wild Boar for 'best community pub', while The Cooper Rose achieved a bronze in the 'best bar' category, as well as the Sun FM award for a 'great night out', voted for online by local radio-listeners.
The scheme, run by Safer Sunderland Partnership, Northumbria Police and Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, gives pubs, clubs and bars the chance to showcase their venue.
It also aims to promote a safe nightlife and encourages bars to share their commitment to stamping out alcohol-related bad behaviour and violence.

As the final seconds ticked away on the Bills 41-7 season opening win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the realist in me couldn't help but turn back the clock for some perspective.
I can remember sitting in the press box at Ralph Wilson Stadium in 2003 for the opener against the Patriots. It was the Gregg Williams third season as head coach, Drew Bledsoe's second year as starting quarterback, and the Bills had just signed Patriot castaway Lawyer Milloy. Buffalo ran away with the game 31-0.
That's the last time they beat New England.
I don't mean to pour cold water on the Bills blowout of the Chiefs. Chan Gailey, his staff, and the players deserve all credit. It was just interesting to hear Gailey lend some perspective immediately after the game.
"All those people that thought we were as bad as we were, we're not. There's going to be a lot of people that are going to put us up on a little bit of a pedestal... and we're not there yet. You have to understand that. I told the team that. I do think we're improved over last year. I thought we would play well. I believe in our men."
He might as well have said that its only one game, but they know what they're doing.
The reality is that GM Buddy Nix and Gailey inherited a mess when they took the controls at the start of last season. When a football department comes into that situation, they inherit not only players from the previous regime, but also by extension the philosophy that led to their selection. That's part of the politics of the game where GM's and coaches favor players they've selected, because you need a certain kind to implement your scheme.
Nix and Gailey are in year two of that process. They took heavy criticism for trading Lee Evans. I understood some of the reasoning but was on the record as saying I thought they should have gotten more than a fourth round pick. They were on the record as admitting the talent they were going with was unproven.
Sunday we started to see some of that proof.
Top target Steve Johnson had five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. David Nelson, an undrafted free agent from Florida last year had five receptions for 66 yards. Donald Jones caught a touchdown pass.
For what it's worth, Evans didn't have a catch in the Ravens 35-7 win over the Steelers.
Again, only one game.
Oh by the way, we actually saw the Bills make effective use of a tight end. The Bills picked up Scott Chandler from Dallas in the middle of last season. Nix had drafted Chandler in the fourth round back in 2007 in San Diego. He drove all the way from Iowa to take part in the informal workouts led by Ryan Fitzpatrick this summer during the lockout.
He caught two touchdowns Sunday.
Speaking of turning back the clock, a Bills tight end hasn't done that since Pete Metzelaars back in 1992.
The offensive line that was unsettled during the course of the preseason gave up just one sack, and helped to pave the way for 112 rushing yards from Fred Jackson.
The upgraded Bills defense showed great progress. A year ago, the Chiefs racked up 274 rushing yards in a 13-10 overtime win. Kansas City had the top rushing attack in the league, and the Bills were worst at defending the run. Sunday the Chiefs ran for 108 total.
That's progress.
Nix and Gailey used seven of nine picks this past spring on defense and saw and immediate return on that investment.
The Bills now head home for what I think is a very winnable game against the Oakland Raiders. After that, the Patriots come to town. They've beaten the Bills 15-straight times since that 31-0 season opening win I mentioned earlier. Let's see where things stand after that first match-up with the Patriots. I think that game will tell a great deal about the direction of the seaon.
Having said that, give them credit for Sunday. The Bills provided a lot of positive answers to a great number of questions that had lingered through the preseason. For those who wrote the franchise off as having no direction under Nix and Gailey, Sunday's result begins to suggest otherwise.

text: Well the plastic itself isn't "delicate" per se - it's actually very thick. But it becomes delicate due to the amount of force required to get the plastic bent up enough to get over the tabs. There are 3 tabs, and it's all so tight-fitted that it's a real challenge getting them all lifted over the tabs so you can slide it apart. A couple times during the process I was pretty much just hoping something wouldn't just go "snap", and my efforts all be in vain. Again, I don't know if I could do this trailside, or even in a motel room, with just the tools I carry in my tool roll, but I suppose if I did have a spare, I would attempt it before spending the $ on a new unit, and having to wait on it to arrive. Since my original pump still did work, I suppose I'll carry it with me on trips.

James Williams of Matagorda County, Texas said in a pro-Ron Paul campaign advertisement released December 28 that in the early 1970s he saw "Ron Paul come to my rescue. He just stepped in and went to work with my wife." Williams' wife was pregnant and extremely ill, and until Dr. Ron Paul showed up, nobody at the hospital would care for his wife. Williams suspects the bi-racial family in the deep South may have been a factor (he's black, his wife is white) in the wait to see a doctor. But Ron Paul saw his wife immediately.
"He said, as far as the bill," Williams continued in the RevolutionPAC advertisement, "he would take care of everything. Which he did. I never got a bill from the hospital or anything. And he was a doctor of medicine and that's what he was doing, was practicing medicine. And it didn't matter who, and what, and why. He was doing it because he'd think of one human being just as much as another. He's just an honest man, and that's something we need now in this day and time."
It's a moving advertisement, but it could be argued that any SuperPAC can create an emotional ad for the candidate they back.

Personal Finance: Clashing slogans cloud investor strategies
The calendar beckons investors to tread lightly through the stock market, according to an old saying.
"Sell in May and go away" is a popular slogan among pundits because, over the years, stocks have sometimes suffered losses from May through October, although there have been gains about two-thirds of the time.
With growing economic weakness as a warning, and the Standard & Poor's 500 index at a record high, investors have wondered if they should heed the refrain. In April they sold for a couple of weeks, sending stocks down about 4 percent. And Tuesday a slumping Chicago manufacturing index and eurozone unemployment rate at a record 12.1 percent prompted some temporary stock selling early in the day.
But neither the weak global economy nor anti-May thoughts are a match for a more powerful force and catchphrase: "Don't fight the Fed."
That's the message related to periods when the Federal Reserve is busy pouring money into the system. It's considered silly for an investor to resist the herd, which buys stocks simply because of the Fed's stimulus. The belief is that when billions of dollars are pumped into the system, the money will land somewhere, and investors expect the somewhere to be stocks. So investors go with the flow, buying stocks on the expectation that a rising stock market is inevitable.
Recently, the Fed hasn't been the only source of knee-jerk stimulus. There is a massive effort throughout the world by central banks, including the Fed, to try to bring the economy out of its funk. Stimulus is coming from Japan and Europe. So it's "Don't fight central banks," rather than simply the Fed.
Analysts have warned that if investors see any sign that the stimulus will end, stocks could fall in value because they've been propped up by fake conditions rather the growth.
But after a spate of weak economic data lately, investors expected the Federal Reserve board to say at the end of its two-day meeting Wednesday that it will keep buying bonds — or what's known as money-printing — to try to juice the economy. The Federal Reserve board did just that.
And the European Central Bank, as expected, announced an interest rate cut Thursday to try to lift Europe out of recession.
While investors await their new infusions, analysts question the value.
"The global economy is no better than very slow growth," said Ned Davis, of Ned Davis Research. "This leads me to question the effectiveness of Fed and other central banks' policies that are supposed to ignite faster growth and, with a flood of liquidity, lift all boats.
"But there are a number of signs that the massive global easing by central banks is helping stocks."
The reaction to stimulus in the stock and bond markets has been dramatic. Strategist Michael Hartnett, of Bank of America Merrill Lynch, points out that some of the largest gainers of the last month have been Italian stocks and Greek bonds. That's despite major, unresolved economic issues in those countries. And Japanese stocks have been the winners of the year — gaining 19 percent — now that Japan's central bank is trying to stimulate the economy after two decades of malaise.
In the U.S., investors have shown some caution by choosing stocks from sectors considered defensive — dividend-paying stocks from utility, health care and consumer staple companies. Investors have been less interested in technology, energy and industrial stocks, which depend on a strong economy for growth. But with safe U.S. Treasury bonds yielding only about 1.66 percent, investors have been driven by the Federal Reserve's low-interest policy to take risks in the stock market.
Investors have been encouraged by analysts and companies such as Cummins to expect an improving economy later this year. Cummins on Tuesday fell far short of profit expectations with diesel engines but said it expects improvement before year's end.
Yet economist Howard Archer of IHS Global Insight said "there is little evidence overall that the eurozone economy has bottomed. There were signs that this may have been happening around the turn of the year, but this was not sustained."
He noted that global growth is sputtering, which is not helping eurozone exports. And weakness in the eurozone is weighing on the rest of the world because Europe is buying less.
Meanwhile, unemployment in Spain is now at about 27 percent, and among people younger than 25 it is 55.9 percent. In Greece, unemployment among those under age 25 is 59 percent.
The U.S. is considered by some analysts to be the bright spot of the world, and consumers showed an increase in optimism in the most recent consumer confidence numbers released Tuesday. Yet, those who thought jobs were "hard to get" rose. Only 9.8 percent said they thought jobs were plentiful.

Charles Lindsay - Artist in Residence (A.I.R.) at the SETI Institute, 2011-2016
Charles Lindsay is a multi-media artist interested in technology, pattern recognition and biomimicry. He balances his time in the studio, an environment suffused in equipment, instruments and software, with extended periods exploring remote natural environments. Lindsay is the SETI Institute's first Artist in Residence and a Guggenheim Fellow. His career trajectory has been diverse, ranging from exploration geology in the arctic to photojournalism in the jungles of southeast Asia. In the last decade he invented a carbon based imaging process and merged that with sound and sensors to create immersive installations. Lindsay received a 2010 Guggenheim Fellowship for this "CARBON" work.
During his second term as artist in residence Lindsay is developing "CODE Humpback," an installation combining ideas about encrypted signals and inter-species communication. His advisor / collaborator is SETI Institute scientist Laurance Doyle, who along with colleagues from UC Davis and the Alaska Whale Foundation have used the mathematics of information theory to determine that humpback whale vocalizations have rule-structure complexity, what in human languages is called "syntax." The humpback communication system is an ancient global language - yet we remain effectively alien to each other.
The RCA Morse Code transmitting and receiving stations at Bolinas and Pt. Reyes California are the last of their kind in the U.S. to maintain this once vital maritime language. With the support of engineers Richard Dillman and Steve Hawes, Lindsay transmitted and received two messages, 'what are the whales saying?' and 'all we need is love.' Aside from the implied meaning of the prose theses messages become 'musical' as morse code. Lindsay is extending the sonic aspect of the work by converting audio to MIDI, to enable parallel layered expressions of the same 'coded idea' through software instruments and samplers.
The installation space will be occupied by a number of metal sculptures based on the scoop shaped air vents of early 20th century ships - an aesthetic that is both functional and organic. Distinct audio/visual content emanates from within each scoop: whale vocalizations, morse code messages and their musical equivalents, pulses from the transmitter's large vacuum tubes, field recordings, video of multi-vector ocean surface interference patterns made in the Pacific. The videos, projection mapped up from within, become clear when the viewer approaches and looks down into each sculpture.
CODE Humpback will debut June 7, 2014 in a dedicated space at The Bolinas Museum during the group show 'Transmit / Receive.'
Lindsay's other new project "Ecotone" involves the design and construction of a listening station high atop an old growth tree in primary rain forest on the Osa peninsula in Costa Rica - and installations porting real time sound from that location.
Lindsay's work has been featured on National Public Radio, CNN International, NHK Japan, WIRED.com and ARTonAIR.org. He has lectured at the American Museum of Natural History, Stanford's Department of Art and Art History, 100 Year Starship Symposium, SwissNex, Mountain Film in Telluride, The School of Visual Arts, Pratt School of Art and Design, the Open Center in New York, IDEA CITY in Toronto and at The Hat Creek Observatory for SETI. Lindsay is an active musician and sound artist. He collaborates with SnazzyFx and participates on the Board of the Electronic Music Foundation.
"CARBON" was shown at ISEA 2012 in New Mexico, the Zero1 Biennial 2012 in San Francisco, at The Center for Photography at Woodstock, 2011, and at The Dennos Museum in Michigan in 2010. Lyle Rexer's seminal book "The Edge of Vision: The Rise of Abstraction in Photography" included "CARBON" as did the accompanying traveling exhibition organized by the Aperture Foundation.
Lindsay has published seven books of photographs, with Aperture and Little Brown. His work has appeared in numerous international publications including the New York Times Magazine, Blind Spot, Aperture, Natural History, Gastronomica, Audubon, Parabola, Orion, Big Sky Journal and GEO. He's also published in dozens of Japan's leading magazines.

Keys are short enough to make direct specification of keys on the command line possible (sometimes this is more convenient than the management of PGP-like key rings). seccure builds on this feature and therefore is the tool of choice whenever lightweight asymmetric cryptography -- independent of key servers, revocation certificates, the Web of Trust, or even configuration files -- is required.
The toolkit implements Diffie-Hellman key exchange, allowing you to agree a key with another party over an insecure channel. The Diffie Helman protocol affords forward secrecy, and requires no previous contact with the other party.
The seccure toolset allows you to select the curve that the operations are performed on, so that different cryptographic needs can be supported. This is currently the only ECC package in Debian GNU/Linux to offer a choice of curves and MAC lengths.
It is currently missing some of the functionality of the sks-ecc package, including encrypting to multiple recipients at once, and creating different signature formats.

This is the first classical language and a St James speciality. It has a perfect system of sound and grammar which gives the child an excellent base for the study of all languages. Children love the order and beauty of the sound and the letters. It has a wealth of literature including epic poetry and philosophy.
Parents often ask why we teach Sanskrit.Here are a few answers:
Sanskrit is a language with a fully developed grammar structure. When children learn Sanskrit they are therefore learning about the grammatical structure common to most other languages. The language is sound-based and helps to sharpen listening and speech skills. there is a wider range of sounds and letters than in most other languages and this enables the child to grow quickly in precise speech. Studying Sanskrit gives children access to one of the greatest stores of literature available and the children love the stories. but most important of all children love the sound of the traditional invocations which they recite and also find great delight in the beauty of the written script which they learn to write.

It would be nice if the people who are working on Wall Street would stop and listen to people who are out of work, and also work with them and the others who are marching across the country and are trying to get their point across. All they are seeking is a fair voice that will be heard by all, and to the ones in Washington, D.C., because they're in need of a big shake up there, too.
Maybe this is the chance that is needed now because change won't happen without people who want work, and who are willing to work. So I say to people who march for the Occupy Wall Street movement: March on, hang tough and stand strong — because you're the backbone of our country, the working people.

Marchesi di Barolo Maraia Barbera di Monferrato 2012
Barbera from Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
The color is a lively and brilliant dark ruby-red. The perfume is fresh and intense with clean scents of wild berries, currants and sour black cherry. A light hint of vanilla and toasted oak. The flavor is warm and robust, full-bodied, pleasant and balanced. This Barbera's sensory attributes make it an outstanding accompaniment for imposing first courses and main-course, meats boiled or roasted.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "An aromatic red, sporting black currant and violet aromas and flavors, accented by black pepper and clove. This is firmly structured, with a long, saturated finish."
Marchesi di Barolo Winery
Setting precedents is a characteristic of Piedmontese winemaking and Marchesi di Barolo, one of the region's premier producers of Barolo, is no exception. In the mid-1800s, Marchesi di Barolo became the first estate in Italy to vinify its red wines in a dry style, a revolutionary concept at the time, but one with enduring and immensely beneficial consequences for the entire Italian wine industry.
In contrast to its noble French counterparts, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, which flourish in various corners of the world, Nebbiolo rarely thrives outside its native Piedmontese habitat. While relatively resistant to frost, damp and mist, it is highly sensitive to terrain, faring best in the Langhe district's chalky, marly soil of maritime origin.
Producing majestic red wines of phenomenal depth, complexity and longevity, Nebbiolo is the earliest red grape variety in Piedmont to bud and the last to ripen. Its name derives from the early morning mists, or "nebbia," that shroud the lower slopes of the Langhe hillsides during the fall harvest period.
The Marchesi di Barolo estate takes pride in the international reputation it has established for its fine Barolo DOCG and two superb single-vineyard crus, Barolo Cannubi DOCG and Barolo Sarmassa DOCG, all made from 100% estate-grown Nebbiolo grapes. View all Marchesi di Barolo Wines
About PiedmontView a map of Piedmont wineries (PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

- Fruity & Smooth
Unmistakable Barbera style with high acid and low tannin. Pairs well with acidic foods, particularly tomato-based pasta sauces. Not a particularly distinguished example of Italian Barbera, but decent and affordable. I think the WS88 rating is about right.Grilliant Ideas - Vista, CA32/15/2014

- Light & Crisp
It is a light less robust wine vs shiraz with hints of fennel and licorice taste. Pepper finish. A pleasant wine but not much fruit flavor such as blackberry or blueberry normally found in Barbera wine.ccapano - Lafayette, CO41/29/2014
- Style
- Earth & Spicy
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Introduction to Health Services Research : A Self-Study Course
Surveys | Cohort Studies | Case-Control Studies | Randomized Clinical Trials
RCTs follow two groups of people over time to see who achieves a particular result. In this case, the researchers assign or randomize the people to their groups. This randomly assigning people to a group is called randomization or random assignment.
If this is done properly, each person has an equal chance of being assigned to either group, reducing the possibility of the groups having different features. Each group receives a different intervention. For example, Group 1 gets a real medicine and Group 2 gets a placebo. No one knows who gets what. This is called masking.
Researchers want to know if Group 1 will do better than Group 2. When the study period ends, the researchers evaluate their different outcomes and calculate the risk of one group developing the result compared to another.
For example, researchers randomize workers to receive indemnity insurance or managed care coverage. They watch people over time and measure their utilization of health services. They compare the groups to evaluate whether the type of insurance coverage influenced their use of medical care.
In clinical experiments, investigators randomize patients with the same disease, such as hypertension, to two different drug groups. One may receive an experimental medication while the other receives a placebo. The researchers measure the effect of the drugs on the hypertension.
Controlled clinical trials hold the advantage in assessing causality.
Randomization produces comparable study groups that should only differ in the intervention given. People start off the same and have an equal chance of receiving the treatment or not. Researchers control the people's experiences very carefully so you are sure that it's the treatment that makes the difference!
Therefore, differences in outcome can be attributed to that intervention, such as a drug, and the researchers can conclude that the intervention caused the results. Since the people are similar in the beginning of the study, researchers can be confident that the intervention precedes the effect, a major determinant of causality.
However, clinical trials are not perfect. They are expensive and time-consuming. Biases may render their results less reliable. For example, if study participants or researchers know their group assignment, they may expect a particular result. Masking study participants and researchers avoids treating people differently based on the intervention. Losing participants along the way may also jeopardize the results. Did people leave the study because the treatment was too harsh or for reasons unrelated to the study?
While randomized clinical trials can prove causality, ethical considerations usually limit their utilization. Randomizing participants into smoking and non-smoking arms of a study to detect lung cancer would provoke an uproar among scientists and the public. For these reasons, many investigations must be observational in which groups of naturally occurring behaviors are followed and measured.
Remember also that clinical trials occur under very specialized, controlled conditions that do not represent everyday life. Therefore, the results obtained in this environment may not transfer to larger groups of people not engaged in research.

New Yorkers Hail Turkish Taxi as Frontrunner in Cab Contest
The Taxi and Limousine Commission is hoping to get New Yorkers into the driver's seat when it comes to redesigning the city's cabs.
The commission, which began mulling a cab redesign in 2007 under a program called Taxi of Tomorrow, has decided on three vehicles -- made by Nissan, Ford and the Turkish company Karsan -- and has released results from an ongoing online survey where New Yorkers can have their input.
When it comes to taxi design, most riders surveyed expressed a preference for an environmentally friendly model with more comfortable seating.
Half of respondents said the ability to carry four passengers in the back of the cab is very important. The Karsan is the only model out of three that can fulfill that need. And from a design perspective, the vast majority of respondents prefer the Karsan as well.
The TV sets in cabs were not as popular. More than 31 percent of those surveyed saying the sets are annoying.
More than half of the 22,683 respondents were male and between 18 and 25 years-old and hail a cab at least once a week. Participants said the best thing about taking cabs is the freedom to pay with a credit card.
The TLC is expected to announce the winner of the Taxi of Tomorrow contest by the spring.

BEND, Ore. (MarketWatch) — A dreaded "double dip" could already be upon us, and that spells bad news for governments, the global economy and most investors who are still in recovery mode from the "Great Recession."
The Wall Street Sector Selector
• More from this author
Read John Nyaradi's latest book:
Super Sectors: How To Outsmart the Market Using Sector Rotation and ETFs
The last time the economic and technical picture looked this shaky was in the days and months after our not-so-fondly remembered Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. LEHMQ event of Sept. 15, 2008.
Now incredibly, nearly three years later and in spite of central banks and powerful governments taking unprecedented and historic measures to right the global economy, we find ourselves steadily drifting toward the white water of another financial waterfall.
One quick glance at the chart of the S&P 500 Index SPX, +0.20% proxy for the U.S. stock market, brings the image of the "waterfall descent" clearly into focus.
It's quite easy to see how all nearby support levels have been taken out and the index did a vertical swan dive below its all important 50- and 200-day moving averages. Furthermore, the 50-day average is curling over and looks like it will soon cross the 200-day average to form the widely recognized "death cross," oftentimes considered as confirmation of a new bear market.
The fundamentals also virtually scream bear market:
Has S&P set stage for QE3?
Sudeep Reddy examines the Fed's options in light of S&P's downgrade of U.S. sovereign debt.
1. On Friday, Standard & Poor's downgraded the U.S. credit rating with a negative outlook. Over the medium term, this can't be good for equities markets or corporate profits as confidence has been damaged, interest rates will very likely rise, growth will probably slow and all of this could work together to easily tip an economy that grew at just 0.8% in the first quarter into a double-dip recession.
2. China pounced on the U.S. downgrade, but things aren't so rosy for the dragon either, as its economy slides into contraction, according to a recent purchasing-managers index from HBSC that came in at 49.3 for July — a level not seen since the end of the financial crisis in March 2009. Read more on China ripping U.S. on debt-rating downgrade.
3. Italy and Spain continue their convulsions, so strong and persistent that an emergency weekend phone meeting was called among European leaders, a couple of whom had to interrupt their near-sacrosanct August vacations to attend. German investor sentiment and PMI are also in decline, and a slowing German economy can only add to the already dour outlook for the once-shining euro and the global economy.
Back to 1987
for stocks?
Our Trading Deck has been home to a spirited debate over whether we're in for a crash.
• L.A. Little: Don't worry | Michael Gayed: Worry
• The warning signs of a 1987-style crash
• Hulbert: Stocks as overvalued as at 2007 high
4. Economic reports at home continue to be dismal and clearly indicate a slowing second quarter on top of a razor-thin, first-quarter growth rate that makes for a difficult math problem to come out with a positive bottom line for the second half of 2011.
As the iconic cartoon dog Scooby-Doo used to say, "Ruh-ro."
So where and how can we work our way through this period without getting swept into the "waterfall" decline?

Dr Sarosy performs many Tummy Tucks in his San Diego office. Abdominoplasty, better known as a "tummy tuck", is a surgical procedure used to reshape your abdomen. This procedure is very popular for women who are done having children. For patients who need to have excess loose skin removed or for women with stretch marks, the results can be dramatic, particularly if combined with liposuction.
Tummy tucks remove excess skin and fat deposits. The abdomen muscles are repositioned for tighter abdomen areas. This body enhancement procedure is perfect for those who desire to have a flatter and tighter stomach.
Please see our tummy tuck video.
These tummy tuck procedures last less 2 hours. Normal activity, such as walking San Diego's famed Gaslamp Quarter can be resumed within 2 weeks.
Tummy may have potential complications similar to almost every type of surgery. Patients should be completely informed of the risks before deciding whether or not they are a good candidate for the procedure. Some of the risks/ complications include:

Recent Dexa scan shows following T-scores:
Spine -2.9
Right Hip -1.9
Left Hip -1.5
Based on the comparison from a Dexa scan 2 years ago, the report indicated density decreased: in spine 10.5%; in R hip, 5.3%; in L Hip 4.4% in those 2 years.
Oncologist immediately wanted to me do Prolia injections twice a year. I researched and said "thank you, but no thank you. Then, I they said Reclast.
I have NEVER broken a bone (w/ exception of a collarbone due to auto accident when I was in my early 30s), I exercise regularly (high intensity) and take calcium and vitamin D daily.
I have appointments with internist, endo., and breast surgeon later this month) but I'm impatient and would like some feedback if anyone is interested in sharing.
Why isn't this enough? The side effects of both drugs sound dreadful.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.View Thread
Spine -3.0 Total Hip -1.8 Femoral Neck -2.2
It was an incidental finding. Are there special considerations for abnormally low scores for my gender and age? And should a male in my position take calcium? Would Forteo be useful or should I go natural?
Many thanks for suggestions.View Thread

I am 36 years old and have osteoporosis, which showed in a dexa scan. Last week, I broke my wrist and went to the ER. I just saw the Orthopedic dr. today. He thinks I should probably have surgery, although I could also just try a cast, but it might not heal properly. I might not have full functionality down the road with just a cast. He said he is borderline on whether or not to have surgery. So he ordered a CT scan, which I haven't had done yet. My question is: will surgery even work if I have weak bones? I don't think he knows how bad they are, even though he saw xrays. He said he would use a plate and screws. I'm afraid it won't work well if the CT scan shows I should have surgery. Thanks for any advice,
JennyView Thread
we all know that osteoporosis means porous bones and decrease in bone density. I would like to know if a person having severe osteoporosis is likely to experience bodily pain/joint pain occasionally or during physical activity.
thanksView Thread
My treatment so far: 1st year—see an Endocrinologist for an evaluation. Treatment: Calcium and Vitamin D, meds and through food.
2nd year: 4% more bone loss in hip (less in spine). Treatment: Reclast. I will NEVER take that drug again. Felt like I had been dropped from a 12 story building and every bone in my body was broken. Had flu like symptoms and was in bed for a weak or so while it dissipated. Continue with C & D.
Third year: 3% bone loss in hip. After the Reclast reactionI didn't want to do anything. My Dr. upped the dosage of C & D and said he was on the fence about my decision but let it go until this year.
Present—Fourth year: 3% more in the hip. That's it—I have to do something, his suggestion was Prolia. I'll have my first shot on 12/22/14. After reading the side effects I'm scared to death and wondered if anyone had adverse reactions to the drug.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you all!View Thread
The Doctor was giving a lecture on what to eat that he said will end osteoporosis forever. Among the things mentioned he said to take
foods with K2 vitamin K2 ( not just K) these things are grass fed cows milk yogurts kefir butter but they must be Grass fed organic things not supermarket things . His vid was an eye opener he spoke of things most medical Dr will not know or tell you. his name is whitcomb I think he also recommends using a weight vest to get optimum bone health and said to use on e made for osteoporosis by nyknyk , as it is properly balanced and will help increase strength of bones . so these are good tips and all natural too. I am now doing the program he suggests and I feel pretty good so I hope bone strength is going to increase when I see Dr for my bone scan next month.View Thread
I am 43 yoa, and was just diagnosed with "severe idiopathic osteoporosis"; I fractured 3 vertebra (T7,8 & 12) at the age of 31 when I passed out (fall from standing position). Then, recently, I fractured a fourth (L4). My bone density scan looks relatively appropriate for my age (Z-scores = -0.6 for my spine; -0.9 for my femoral neck).
My osteo specialist wants me to start Forteo (daily injections x 24 months) asap, but I am struggling to start such a major medication when my BMD scan seems to suggest that there isn't an issue with my BMD (it's more about the fact that I have HAD fractures, rather than a test with scores indicative of osteoporosis). I am also considering whether I should keep the Forteo treatment option until after I have gone through menopause (with the presumption that estrogen is a protective factor for me right now, but I may need the stronger medication once I don't have the estrogen to help my bones)? Forteo is currently only approved for up to 24 months in a person's life (as I understand it).
I am leaning towards Actonel initially, with appropriate calcium, Vit D, weight training and weight bearing exercise to complement this.
Just wondering whether anyone has any experience with this diagnosis at such a young age? Has anyone had Forteo recommended in a pre-menopausal woman and, if so, how do you measure "success" if your BMD is not within osteoporotic levels?
Many thanks for your time!View Thread

Ochsner seeks second term on Indian River Shores council
Age: 65
Occupation: Former Chief Financial Officer and co-founder of Billabong USA and Hurley International. Also worked for Standard Oil and Hughes Aircraft Co.
Seeking: Four-year term on the Indian River Shores Town Council
Residence: The Estuary
Political experience: First elected to Town Council in 2009. Member of the Indian River County Beach Advisory Committee, Indian River Shores Public Safety Volunteer since 2007, Town of Indian River Shores Town Finance Committee
Education: Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration for California State University,
Married to Sandi, two grown daughters and six grandchildren
INDIAN RIVER SHORES — When Michael Ochsner looks back on his four years as councilman for the town of Indian River Shores, he is happy with the positive impact he feels he has made.
So much so that he would like to serve a second term for the people of the town.
Ochsner, 65, has served as part of a Town Council that negotiated a new agreement with the city of Vero Beach to reduce the cost of water and sewer expenses by $3.5 million over the next 10 years.
"If I'm lucky enough to be re-elected, my goal continues to be preserving the town and keeping ourselves financially secure both now and in the future," Ochsner said at a recent candidate forum. "I think we have a few challenges going forward, primarily unfunded liabilities, but I'm confident it's something we can resolve."
Ochsner is one of five people who have filed paperwork with the town clerk to run for the two Town Council seats up for election on March 12. The other four include current Vice Mayor Gerald Weick; former Mayor and Vice Mayor Chuck Wurmstedt, who served from 1993 to 2001; Brian Barefoot; and Tom Slater.
Indian River Shores voters elect five council members in odd-year, nonpartisan elections. Because terms are limited to two consecutive four-year terms, Fran Atchison will leave the Town Council after the March election, having served since 2005.
The positions of mayor and vice mayor for Indian River Shores are selected among the council members. These are unpaid, voluntary positions that require a commitment of time.
As a former chief financial officer and co-founder of both Billabong USA and Hurley International, Ochsner said he has the financial background and experience necessary to keep the town on sound financial footing. He has served as chairman of the Indian River Shores Finance Committee at the request of former Mayor Bill Kenyon.
An avid surfer for more than 50 years, Ochsner has served as a beach patrol volunteer for the Indian River Shores Public Safety Department and is a member of the Indian River County Beach Advisory Committee. He is also on the Board of Elders for Calvary Chapel in Vero Beach where his family worships, and he oversees the church's finances.
Ochsnerand his wife, Sandi, have called The Estuary their home since 2005. They have two daughters and six grandchildren who all live close by. Michael Ochsner holds a bachelor's degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in accounting from California State University.
Ochsner hopes to continue to work for the betterment of Indian River Shores.
"I don't have an agenda, and I want to do what makes sense for the town," Ochsner said. "I am willing to invest whatever time is necessary to make sure I understand the issues."

We traveled down to South Carolina just about a year ago to spend two days in Sumter National Forest hiking, hunting, photographing and filming none other than Mac English, a champion squirrel hunter. We were out there in the woods – far out there. It was quite the experience, but all things considered, I'd go back and join a hunt any day.
