|This is a great phone overall. The battery life is unparalleled. Texting is easy with the large key pad. This is truly a excellent phone and great for people who text or write a lot of emails on the go.

|Would have worked perfectly if I did not have a skin that partially covered the screen. this is a great product for the price.....it has saved my phone several times when i have dropped it! I ordered the pink one and i love the color! Great products...the cover is great and I really like the mirror screen protector. Also car charger and wall charger were just an added bonus.

|This is literally a base that your charger plugs into the back of. THAT IS IT! It does not sync, provide you with an additional charging cord. all in all, a good product for the money. Works Very well and phone charges every time you drop it into the charging stand 1.

|I love my BlackBerry! I find it very easy to use! I love the ability to customize it, the ease with which I can get to my apps. Love the Blackberry Tour, the battery life is horrendous though.

|Perfect for my needs I ordered this item to keep at my office and charge my HTC Evo 4G. It fits and charges the device perfectly. Works great for HTC Evo!!!! No noticeable difference between this and the charger that came with the EVO. It does charge while the phone is on. It works I bought this for a different phone (LG brand not Blackberry). It works, but when I plug it up.

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms. Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage. Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged. If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery. Keep batteries away from children. Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products. Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables. When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over. Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
NOTE: Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power. Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation.
s Using the MIDI Terminals The PortaTone also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the PortaTone with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more information, see page 41.)
MIDI instrument
To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
Music Stand
Insert the bottom edge of the included music stand into the slot located at the top rear of the PortaTone control panel.
s Using a Sustain Footswitch This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the sound of the keyboard voice. This is used in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano press and hold down the footswitch as you play the keyboard to sustain the sound.
Getting Started Playing the Demo Songs
The PortaTone has a huge variety of Demo songs, specially recorded to showcase the dynamic sounds and rhythms and give you an idea of what you can do with the instrument.
First, turn on the power.
Press the STANDBY/ON button. Whenever the power is turned on, the Voice mode is automatically called up and set to play Voice 1 (GrandPno).
Set the Volume.
Initially, turn the MASTER VOLUME control about a third of the way up. You can adjust the control for optimum level once the songs start playing.
Press the DEMO button.
All 100 songs will play in sequence. You can play along on the keyboard with the songs. If the Voice Change function is on (page 27), the keyboard voice will change to match the changes in the song of the melody voice. The current song name and number appear at the left of the display. Notice also that the display indicates both the chords (except for song #1, StarWars) and the melody notes (in the music staves and the keyboard diagram) as they change during the song. (Scores for the Demo songs are provided.)
Decreases Metronome Volume value
Increases Metronome Volume value
Current Metronome value
Restoring the Default Metronome Volume Value To restore the default Metronome Volume value (100), press both OVERALL +/- buttons simultaneously (when Metronome Volume is selected in the Overall menu).
Selecting and Playing Voices The Voice Mode
The Voice mode features 100 authentic voices that have been created with Yamahas sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system. Many of these voices also have special preset characteristics or embellishments. The voices are divided into various categories depending on their characteristics or the effects used.
Selecting and Playing a Voice
Select the Voice mode.
Press the VOICE button.
Voice name and number Indicates Voice mode is selected
Select the desired voice number.
Use the numeric keypad. The basic categories of voices and their numbers are shown at the right side of the panel. A complete list of the available voices is given on page 44.
Voice list
There are three ways to select voices: 1) directly entering the voice number with the numeric keypad, 2) using the +/- keys to step up and down through the voices, or 3) pressing the VOICE button to advance through the voice numbers.
Using the +/- keys
Press the + key to select the next voice number, and press the - key to select the previous voice. Holding down either key continuously scrolls up or down through the numbers. The +/- keys have a wrap around feature. For example, pressing the + key from the voice 100 returns to voice 1.
Using the numeric keypad
Enter the digits of the voice number as printed on the panel. For example, to select voice #42, press 4 on the numeric keypad, then 2.
Using the VOICE button
Press the VOICE button to select the next voice number. (This functions exactly the same as the + button.)
NOTE: Each voice is automatically called up with the most suitable octave range setting. Thus, playing middle C with one voice may sound higher or lower than another voice at the same key.
Transpose and Tuning
You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the PortaTone with the Transpose and Tuning functions.
Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and the Multi Pads. This allows you to easily match the pitch of the PortaTone to other instruments or singers, or play in a different key without changing your fingering. The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of 12 semitones ( 1 octave).
Select the Transpose function in the Overall menu.
Press one of the OVERALL s/t buttons, repeatedly if necessary, until Tuning appears in the display.
Current Transpose value
Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or decrease the Transpose value. Holding down either button continuously increases or decreases the value.
Restoring the Default Transpose Value If youve changed the Transpose setting, you can instantly restore the default setting of 00 by pressing both OVERALL +/- buttons simultaneously (when Transpose is selected in the Overall menu). NOTE: This setting has no effect on the DrumKit voice (#90, #100). Also, this setting cannot be changed during song playback.
Decreases Transpose value
Increases Transpose value
Tuning determines the fine pitch setting of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and the Multi Pads. This allows you to accurately match the tuning with that of other instruments. The Tuning settings can be adjusted over a range of 50 (approx. 0.5 semitones).
Select the Tuning function in the Overall menu.
Current Tuning value
Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or decrease the Tuning value. Holding down either button continuously increases or decreases the value.
Restoring the Default Tuning Value If youve changed the Tuning setting, you can instantly restore the default setting of 00 by pressing both OVERALL +/- buttons simultaneously (when Tuning is selected in the Overall menu).
This useful function is ideal for practicing and learning purposes. It allows you to specify any section or phrase of a song (between point A and point B) and repeat it while you play or practice along with it.
While playing back a song, set point A (the start point of the section).
With the Song mode active, select and play back the desired song. (See button page 20.) Then, while the song is playing back, press the once at the beginning point of the section to be repeated.
Set point B (the end point of the section).
Press the button once again, at the ending point of the section to be repeated. The selected phrase repeats indefinitely until stopped.
Pause or stop playback as needed.
Use the Pause ( ) and START/STOP (>/s) buttons. Stopping playback does not cancel the set A/B points or the A/B Repeat function.
Turn off the A/B Repeat function.
Press the button. This can be done either when the song is stopped or during playback.
HINT: You can also set the A/B Repeat function while the song is stopped. Simply use the r/f buttons to select the measures for the A and B points in the song, then start playback. While the song is playing back (but before setting the A/B points), try slowing down the Tempo (page 21). This makes it easier to accurately set the A and B points. Slowing down the Tempo also makes it easier to practice the parts you want to learn. To set the A point at the beginning of a song, press the button before starting song playback.
NOTE: Selecting a different song number (or changing to the Style mode) automatically cancels the A/B Repeat function.
Melody Guide
The PortaTone has a special Melody Guide function that makes practice and learning of the 100 songs both fun and easy. During song playback, the PortaTone shows the notes of the melody in the music staves and the keyboard diagram in the display indicating which notes you should play and when you should play them. The Melody Guide function even lets you practice at your own pace by automatically pausing playback until you play the correct notes. To further help you play the correct melody notes, scores for all songs have been provided. There are two different types of Melody Guide operations: Waiting (auto pause playback) and Minus One (muted melody). These can be turned on either before starting a song, or while a song is playing.
Select a song.
With the Song mode active, select the desired song. (See page 20.)
Set the Melody Guide function.
Press the MELODY GUIDE button repeatedly until the desired setting is shown in the display.
Waiting When set to Waiting, the PortaTone waits for you to play the correct melody notes, automatically pausing song playback until each note is played. This allows you to practice the melody at your own pace. The next note to be played is indicated in the display (in the music staves and the keyboard diagram). MinusOne Minus One, as its name implies, mutes the melody part of the song, allowing you to play that part yourself. Song playback continues without pausing, so you can play the melody part naturally in time with the music. The next
Selecting and Playing Styles The Style Mode
The Style mode provides dynamic rhythm/accompaniment patterns as well as voice settings appropriate for each pattern for various popular music styles.
A total of 100 different styles are available, in several different categories. Each style is made up of separate sections Intro, Main A and B (with 4 Fill-ins), and Ending letting you call up different accompaniment patterns as you perform. The auto accompaniment features that are built into the rhythms add the excitement of instrumental backing to your performance, letting you control the accompaniment by the chords you play. Auto accompaniment effectively splits the keyboard into two sections: The upper is used for playing a melody line, and the lower (labeled ACMP below the keyboard) is for the auto accompaniment function.
Selecting and Playing a Style
Select the Style mode.
Press the STYLE button.
Style name and number Indicates Style mode is selected
Select the desired style number.
Use the numeric keypad. Available styles are listed at the center of the panel. Style numbers can be selected in the same way as with the voices (see page 16). You can use the numeric keypad to directly enter the style number, use the +/- keys to step up and down through the styles, or press the STYLE button to advance through the style numbers.
Start the selected style.
You can do this in one of the following ways:
HINT: The PortaTone also features chord and bass accompaniment that can be played with the rhythm. For information on this dynamic function, see page 31.
Pressing the START/STOP button The rhythm starts playing immediately without bass and chord accompaniment. The currently selected Main A or B section will play. (You can select either section by pressing the appropriate button AUTO FILL/MAIN A or B before pressing the START/ STOP button.)
Using Sync-Start with an Intro section First, press the MAIN A or MAIN B button to select which section (A or B) is to follow the Intro. Next, press the INTRO button so that IntromA or IntromB is shown in the display.
Indicates that Intro will be followed by the Main A section.
Using Sync-Start The PortaTone also has a Sync-Start function that allows you to start the rhythm/accompaniment by simply pressing a key on the keyboard. To use Sync-Start, first press the SYNC-START button (the handclap icon flashes to indicate Sync-Start stand-by), then press any key in the ACMP section of the keyboard (or any key when accompaniment is off).
Single Finger Chords
Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventh and minor seventh. The illustration below shows how to produce the four chord types. (The key of C is used here as an example; other keys follow the same rules. For example, Bb7 is played as Bb and A.)
To play a major chord: Press the root note of the chord.
To play a minor chord: Press the root note together with any black key to the left of it.
To play a seventh chord: Press the root note together with any white key to the left of it.
To play a minor seventh chord: Press the root note together with any white and black keys to the left of it (three keys altogether).
Fingered Chords
Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that can be recognized in the Fingered mode. s Fingered Chords in the Key of C
NOTE: If the chord is inverted (i.e., C-E-G is played as G-C-E), the PortaTone will still recognize it as a C chord. The chord recognition system also has the following rules and exceptions: Minor 6th chords are recognized only in root position, however; all other inversions are interpreted as minor 7th/ flatted 5th. If augmented and diminished 7th chords are inverted, the lowest note will be recognized as the root. 7th flatted 5th chords may be played with the lowest note as the root or the flatted 7th. Augmented 7th and diminished 7th chords are interpreted as simple augmented and diminished. NOTE: The following chords are not recognized : B minor 6, Bb minor 6, and B augmented.
Caug (7aug)
Cdim (dim7)
Csus 4
C 7 b5
Cm 7 b5
C 7 sus4
Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords will be recognized without them.
What is a Chord?
The simple answer: Three or more notes played simultaneously is a chord. (Two notes played together is an interval an interval being the distance between two different notes. This is also referred to as a harmony.) Depending on the intervals between the three or more notes, a chord can sound beautiful or muddy and dissonant. The organization of notes in the example at left a triad chord produces a pleasant, harmonious sound. Triads are made up of three notes and are the most basic and common chords in most music.
In this triad, the lowest note is the root. The root (also called the tonic) is the most important note in the chord, because it anchors the sound harmonically by determining its key and forms the basis for how we hear the other notes of the chord. The second note of this chord is four semitones higher than the first, and the third is three semitones higher than the second. Keeping our root note fixed and changing these notes by a semitone up or down (sharp or flat), we can create four different chords.
Major chord (ex. C) Minor chord (ex. Cm) Augmented chord (ex. Caug) Diminished chord (ex. Cdim)
Minor 3rd
Major 3rd
Keep in mind that we can also change the voicing of a chord for example, change the order of the notes (called inversions), or play the same notes in different octaves without changing the basic nature of the chord itself.
Inversion examples for the key of C G E C C G E E C G
Beautiful sounding harmonies can be built in this manner. The use of intervals and chords is one of the most important elements in music. A wide variety of emotions and feelings can be created depending on the types of chords used and the order in which they are arranged.
Writing Chord Names
Knowing how to read and write chord names is an easy yet invaluable skill. Chords are often written in a kind of shorthand that makes them instantly recognizable (and gives you the freedom to play them with the voicing or inversion that you prefer). Once you understand the basic principles of harmony and chords, its very simple to use this shorthand to write out the chords of a song. First, write the root note of the chord in an uppercase letter. If you need to specify sharp or flat, indicate that to the right of the root. The chord type should be indicated to the right as well. Examples for the key of C are shown below.
Major chord Minor chord Augmented chord Diminished chord
For simple major chords, the type is omitted.
One important point: Chords are made up of notes stacked on top of each other, and the stacked notes are indicated in the chord name of the chord type as a number the number being the distance of the note from the root. (See the keyboard diagram below.) For example, the minor 6th chord includes the 6th note of the scale, the major 7th chord has the 7th note of the scale, etc.
Dominant 7th (flatted 7th)
The Intervals of the Scale
To better understand the intervals and the numbers used to represent them in the chord name, study this diagram of the C major scale:
4th 3rd 2nd 5th 6th
Octave 7th
11th 9th
Other Chords

Diminished chord
One Touch Setting (OTS)
The One Touch Setting function automatically selects an appropriate voice for playing with the style you select. In other words, when One Touch Setting is on, the voice automatically changes when you change the style.
Select a style.
Select one of the styles, as described in steps on page 28.
Turn on the One Touch Setting function.
Press the OTS button so that OTS On appears briefly in the display.
OTS On
When One Touch Setting is on, the following settings are automatically changed/made:
Main voice (set to match the selected style) Multi Pad bank Tempo Accompaniment Volume Accompaniment On Sync-Start On (set to standby when rhythm is stopped)
Play the style.
Since Sync-Start is automatically set to On when One Touch Setting is on, playing a key in the ACMP section of the keyboard starts the style. To turn One Touch Setting off, press the button again (so that OTS Off appears in the display).
Chord Guide
The Chord Guide functions of the PortaTone provide powerful, easy-to-use tools for learning chords and chord relationships. Chord Guide features two different types of operation: Smart and Dictionary.
The Smart type allows you to set the basic key for the chord accompaniment. Once this is set, you can simply press single keys in the scale and have harmonically appropriate chords played automatically. For example, with the key set to C, playing an D will result in an D minor chord (rather than a harmonically inappropriate D major). The Smart type is not only a convenient feature for easily playing various chord progressions in a specified key, its also an excellent learning tool to find out how chords relate to each other harmonically in a given key.
Select one of the styles, as described in steps 1 - 2 on page 28.
Select the Smart Chord Guide.
Press the CHORD GUIDE button so that Smart appears briefly in the display.
NOTE: The accompaniment is turned on automatically when Smart is selected.
Set the desired key.
Use the +/- buttons on the numeric keypad to step through the available keys, or use the numeric keypad to directly enter the number corresponding to the desired key (see chart below).
Play the chord.
Play the chord (as indicated in the display) in the ACMP section of the keyboard. The chord name flashes when the correct notes are held down. (Inversions for many of the chords are also recognized.)
Flashes when correct notes are held.
Indicates notes to be played.
Multi Pads
These convenient pads let you instantly trigger various musical and rhythmic phrases as you play the PortaTone. There are a total of 40 different sounds or phrases (20 banks, with two pad sounds for each bank). The phrases play back at the same speed as the Tempo setting, and they also change harmonically along with the accompaniment chords (both in the Style and Song modes).
Select the Pad function in the Overall menu.
Press one of the OVERALL s/t buttons, repeatedly if necessary, until MULTI PAD is selected in the display.
Current Pad bank number
Select the desired bank.
Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or decrease the bank number. Holding down either button continuously increases or decreases the value. For a complete list of the available banks and their contents, see page 46.
Decreases Pad bank number Increases Pad bank number
Play the Multi Pads.
Press one of the Pads. The phrase plays uninterrupted until it is finished. Pressing it repeatedly (before the phrase completely plays back) creates a stutter effect. In the Song and Style modes, melodic-type sounds correctly follow the chord changes. All sounds play back in perfect time with the current Tempo setting. When OTS is on, appropriate Multi Pad banks for the selected style are automatically called up. 40
The PortaTone also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the PortaTone with other MIDI instruments and devices.
Receives MIDI data from the connected sending device.
Transmits MIDI data (keyboard performance) to the connected device.
About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a worldwide standard that is built into many electronic musical instruments and other digital music related devices, allowing them to be connected and communicate with each other. For two MIDI instruments to communicate, they must be connected by MIDI cables. In a basic example, the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals of the PortaTone could be connected to the MIDI OUT and MIDI IN terminals of a sequencer, allowing you to record and play back performance data from the PortaTone. The instruments communicate with each other by sending messages or MIDI data. The sending instrument usually assigns the data to one of sixteen MIDI channels, then transmits it over the MIDI cable. The cable itself, however, is not divided up into sixteen channels. Just as with a television set that receives programs on different channels, it is up to the receiving instrument to tune into the proper MIDI channel. If the sending and receiving channels on the respective instruments do not match, the receiving instrument may not understand or respond to the one sending.

Behavioral Interventions to Promote Breastfeeding: Recommendations and Rationale - U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
Obesity: Assessment and Management in Primary Care - Article
ABSTRACT: Obesity is a complex, multifactorial condition in which excess body fat may put a person at health risk. National data indicate that the prevalence of obesity in the United States is increasing in children and adults. Reversing these trends requires changes in individual behavior and the elimination of societal barriers to healthy lifestyle choices. Basic treatment of overweight and obese patients requires a comprehensive approach involving diet and nutrition, regular physical activity, and behavioral change, with an emphasis on long-term weight management rather than short-term extreme weight reduction. Physicians and other health professionals have an important role in promoting preventive measures and encouraging positive lifestyle behaviors, as well as identifying and treating obesity-related comorbidities. Health professionals also have a role in counseling patients about safe and effective weight loss and weight maintenance programs. Recent evidence-based guidelines from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, as well as recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists/American College of Endocrinology, American Obesity Association, U.S. Clinical Preventive Services Task Force, Institute of Medicine, and World Health Organization can be consulted for information and guidance on the identification and management of overweight and obese patients.
Evaluation and Treatment of ADHD - Article
ABSTRACT: Symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are present in as many as 9 percent of school-age children. ADHD-specific questionnaires can help determine whether children meet diagnostic criteria for the disorder. The recommended evaluation also includes documenting the type and severity of ADHD symptoms, verifying the presence of normal vision and hearing, screening for comorbid psychologic conditions, reviewing the child's developmental history and school performance, and applying objective measures of cognitive function. The stimulants methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine remain the pharmacologic agents of first choice for the management of ADHD. These agents are equally effective in improving the core symptoms of the disorder, but individual children may respond better to one stimulant medication than to another. Achievement of maximal benefit may require titration of the initial dosage and dosing before breakfast, before lunch and in the afternoon. The family physician should tailor the treatment plan to meet the unique needs of the child and family. Psychosocial, behavioral and educational strategies that enhance specific behaviors may improve educational and social functioning in the child with ADHD.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Management - Article
ABSTRACT: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common psychiatric disorder of childhood and often persists into adulthood. ADHD is a neurophysiologic disorder defined in behavioral terms and associated with significant morbidity in the realms of social and academic success, and self-esteem. ADHD is often associated with comorbid psychiatric disorders and learning disabilities, which further impede the successful development of these persons. It is essential that family physicians be knowledgeable about the presentation and diagnosis of ADHD. Stimulant medications continue to be the mainstay of treatment, although many other medications (such as antidepressants and alpha blockers) are helpful adjuvants to therapy. Current recommendations for treatment include an individualized, multimodal approach involving parents, teachers, counselors and the school system. Treatment follow-up includes monitoring response to medications in various settings, as well as side effects. With time and interest, the family physician can develop the skills needed to treat this disorder.
Headaches in Children and Adolescents - Article
ABSTRACT: Headaches are common during childhood and become more common and increase in frequency during adolescence. The rational, cost-effective evaluation of children with headache begins with a careful history. The first step is to identify the temporal pattern of the headache--acute, acute-recurrent, chronic-progressive, chronic-nonprogressive, or mixed. The next step is a physical and neurologic examination focusing on the optic disc, eye movements, motor asymmetry, coordination, and reflexes. Neuroimaging is not routinely warranted in the evaluation of childhood headache and should be reserved for use in children with chronic-progressive patterns or abnormalities on neurologic examination. Once the headache diagnosis is established, management must be based on the frequency and severity of headache and the impact on the patient's lifestyle. Treatment of childhood migraine includes the intermittent use of oral analgesics and antiemetics and, occasionally, daily prophylactic agents. Often, the most important therapeutic intervention is confident reassurance about the absence of serious underlying neurologic disease.
Autism: A Medical Primer - Article
ABSTRACT: Autistic disorder, a pervasive developmental disorder resulting in social, language, or sensorimotor deficits, occurs in approximately seven of 10,000 persons. Early detection and intervention significantly improve outcome, with about one third of autistic persons achieving some degree of independent living. Indications for developmental evaluation include no babbling, pointing, or use of other gestures by 12 months of age, no single words by 16 months of age, no two-word spontaneous phrases by 24 months of age, and loss of previously learned language or social skills at any age. The differential diagnosis includes other psychiatric and pervasive developmental disorders, deafness, and profound hearing loss. Autism is frequently associated with fragile X syndrome and tuberous sclerosis, and may be caused by lead poisoning and metabolic disorders. Common comorbidities include mental retardation, seizure disorder, and psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety. Behavior modification programs are helpful and are usually administered by multidisciplinary teams, targeted medication is used to address behavior concerns. Many different treatment approaches can be used, some of which are unproven and have little scientific support. Parents may be encouraged to investigate national resources and local support networks.
Nocturnal Enuresis - Article
ABSTRACT: Nocturnal enuresis is a common problem that can be troubling for children and their families. Recent studies indicate that nocturnal enuresis is best regarded as a group of conditions with different etiologies. A genetic component is likely in many affected children. Research also indicates the possibility of two subtypes of patients with nocturnal enuresis: those with a functional bladder disorder and those with a maturational delay in nocturnal arginine vasopressin secretion. The evaluation of nocturnal enuresis requires a thorough history, a complete physical examination, and urinalysis. Treatment options include nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic measures. Continence training should be incorporated into the treatment regimen. Use of a bed-wetting alarm has the highest cure rate and the lowest relapse rate; however, some families may have difficulty with this treatment approach. Desmopressin and imipramine are the primary medications used to treat nocturnal enuresis, but both are associated with relatively high relapse rates.
Prevention and Treatment of Overweight in Children and Adolescents - Article
ABSTRACT: Overweight in childhood and adolescence is an important public health issue because of its rapidly increasing prevalence and associated adverse medical and social consequences. Recent studies have estimated that 15 percent of children in the United States are at risk for overweight, and an additional 15 percent are overweight. Important predictors of overweight include age, sex, race/ethnicity, and parental weight status. Generally, school-based prevention programs are not successful in reducing the prevalence of obesity. Treatment interventions include behavioral therapy, reduction in sedentary behavior, and nutrition and physical activity education. These interventions are moderately successful but may not be generalized to the primary care setting. Family physicians should focus on identifying at-risk and overweight children and adolescents at an early stage and educating families about the health consequences of being overweight. Interventions should be tailored to the patient and involve the entire family.
Selecting Medications for the Treatment of Urinary Incontinence - Article
ABSTRACT: In response to the growing population of older patients with incontinence, pharmaceutical companies are developing new drugs to treat the condition. Before prescribing medications for incontinence, however, physicians should determine the nature and cause of the patient's incontinence. The evaluation should rule out reversible conditions, conditions requiring special evaluation, and overflow bladder. The best treatment for urge incontinence is behavior therapy in the form of pelvic floor muscle exercises. Medications, used as an adjunct to behavior therapy, can provide additional benefit. Many therapies are available for patients with stress incontinence, including pelvic floor muscle exercise, surgery, intravaginal support devices, pessaries, peri-urethral injections, magnetic chairs, and intraurethral inserts. No medication has been approved for the treatment of stress incontinence, although medications are under development.
Behavior Disorders of Dementia: Recognition and Treatment - Article
ABSTRACT: Psychosis may pose a greater challenge than cognitive decline for patients with dementia and their caregivers. The nature and frequency of psychotic symptoms varies over the course of illness, but in most patients, these symptoms occur more often in the later stages of disease. Management of psychosis requires a comprehensive nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic approach, including an accurate assessment of symptoms, awareness of the environment in which they occur, and identification of precipitants and how they affect patients and their caregivers. Nonpharmacologic interventions include counseling the caregiver about the nonintentional nature of the psychotic features and offering coping strategies. Approaches for the patient involve behavior modification; appropriate use of sensory intervention; environmental safety; and maintenance of routines such as providing meals, exercise, and sleep on a consistent basis. Pharmacologic treatments should be governed by a "start low, go slow" philosophy; a monosequential approach is recommended, in which a single agent is titrated until the targeted behavior is reduced, side effects become intolerable, or the maximal dosage is achieved. Atypical antipsychotics have the greatest effectiveness and are best tolerated. Second-line medications include typical antipsychotics for short-term therapy; and, less often, anticonvulsants, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, antidepressants, and anxiolytics. Goals of treatment should include symptom reduction and preservation of quality of life.

Best Graduated Neutral Density Filters: 6 models tested and rated
Cokin Z-PRO ND-Graduated Kit
Price: £135, $300
Cokin's Z-PRO filter series is aimed at enthusiast photographers, so you get three filters of a 100x150mm size.
They're big enough to cover even ultra-wide lenses with no visible vignetting.
Densities are the standard 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 grades and are bundled with a Z-Series holder along with a good quality case.
Optical testing revealed that the filters produced a very small turquoise colour cast, but this was barely noticeable.
Other niggles include the sharp corners and the greater-than-average rotational slack when positioned in the holder.
However these are minor quibbles given the overall value of this high-end graduated neutral density filter kit.
Pros… Useful filter size and good light neutrality
Cons… Not quite as neutral as the more expensive options
We say… Proves that large ND grads needn't cost the earth
Score: 4/5

Young illegal immigrants coming out of the shadows
They want to become citizens.. let them join the military and once they complete their tour of duty then they can get their papers.. why should we have to educate and provide them with medical care because their parents chose to break the law? Find their parents and deport them... sorry I have little stomach for those who break the law because they don't agree with it...

I agree... But as long as they are in office you can bet they will not vote themselves out of a job. They have cushy jobs and get lots of money in fact so much money that most are millionaires so why do they need to stay in office? Because of greed.. and the ability to shove their interests ahead of most of the people.. they don't care what the "People" want.. they do as they please..

Springfield considers feeding kids on Saturday
The charities are being overloaded now.. why should you care if someone else wants to help out people who are hungry? It isn't as if they are asking you to pay for some food, heaven forbid if you might have to open your eyes and see the ones who are hungry and starving right here in the US. It is ok apparently to help those outside our borders but those here at home. They should apparently just quietly die so they don't inconvenience you. Shame on you. Talk about being a good Christian.

Anyone want to comment at MoDot on the fact that a good portion of those they "laid" off were within months of retiring? I know of several that were due to retire this year... and now they are out of work... seems that they are doing more than just laying off people.. seems they are committing a serious breach in the fact that what becomes of the men and women who have spent a good portion of their lives working for MoDot and just when they are about to get their retirement... good bye... so long.. don't need you now....

China's Underpopulation Crisis
India has one, too.
But India has a demographic problem of its own. If China's comparative advantage in attracting foreign investment lies in its enormous supply of unskilled labor, India has profited from its considerable pool of skilled workers, many of them English-speaking, who have filled the country's growing number of high-tech and service-sector jobs.
But that pool is in danger of reaching its natural limit, as well. According to a report released in December by McKinsey & Co. and the Indian IT trade association Nasscom, if the flow of service-sector jobs continues to grow at its current rate, and if India fails to enact substantial reform of its education system, the country will face a shortfall of 350,000 business-process staff and 150,000 IT engineers by the end of 2010. As the shortage of qualified workers grows, the expansion of India's service sector could shift into reverse, at an enormous cost to the country's still-fragile economic development.
India's world-class IT and engineering schools are not the problem. In fact, India already graduates five times as many engineers each year as the United States. The real problem lies in India's universities and in its woefully uneven level of primary education. The McKinsey-Nasscom report suggests that only 25 percent of India's university graduates have the basic skills—including the minimum level of spoken English—needed for work in the sectors that have fueled India's recent growth. The percentage of Indians who leave school by age 10 is 40 percent. Not coincidentally, 40 percent of Indian citizens are illiterate.
The most formidable obstacle to Indian efforts to reform its education system is that local governments control education policy. As a result, development of a coherent solution to the shortage of qualified faculty, inadequate educational infrastructure, and the current system's inability to produce the skilled workers its fast-changing economy demands will be both profoundly difficult and time-consuming.
There's very little chance that China and India can quickly solve these problems. It will be decades before China can redress its demographic deficit, particularly given the central government's deep reluctance to ease immigration restrictions. In the short term, India's education system can be improved at the margins, but the country's factionalized politics ensures that the level of policy coordination between the central and regional governments necessary for broader reforms is unlikely to develop anytime soon.
For the next several years, China and India will continue to profit from large inflows of foreign investment, but investors in these states will do well to remember that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Signs of twins??
Hi I am about 6 weeks pregnant and I am far sicker with this pregnancy than any of my other 4 pregnancies, I was wondering if anyone knows the signs of being pregnant with twins at 6 weeks??

I was pregnant with twins with my first pregnancy, so i cant speak on a singleton pregnancy, but as for getting sick, i didnt even know I was pregnant until I was six weeks, and then didnt have an ultrasound until I was about ten weeks and had absolutely no idea it was twins.posted 12/17/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
i am 12 weeks preg and i cant seem to hold down anything i eat it all comes back.i wish to know if there is anything you can help me with?posted 12/19/2011 by lailatwain
I found out we were having twins at 6 weeks due to bleeding, other than that I would not have known. FTM here, but my only symptoms were a missed period and a teeny bit of nausea. I haven't thrown up at all during this pregnancy.posted 07/17/2012 by jessndavey79
I found out I was pregnant around 4 weeks and had no symptoms besides a late period. Found out it was twins at 7 weeks and didn't get sick until I was around 8 weeks pregnant. Only threw up 5 times the whole pregnancy... I think it's different with every one! I haven't had a singleton but the only thing that was obviously different with me having twins was that my pants stopped fitting around 8 weeks and by 23 weeks I looked "full term". :o)posted 04/11/2012 by Chaliff
I was mildly sick for 2-3 months with my daughter, and been sick weeks 6-18 and now weeks 25-30 where i am having throw up games. Each pregnancy is different as far as how your body reacts. I am carrying twins this time around, its alot less room to move, but otherwise pretty much the same just alittle sicker. The only way to know for sure is an US we found out at 6 weeks because i was bleeding and they wanted to make sure i wasnt misscarryingposted 01/30/2012 by xancientprincessxx
HAVE NOSIC IT HELPS ALOTposted 12/20/2011 by Xhera
All pregnancies are different. With my first one I was sick for only two weeks. Then with this one I couldn't keep anything down. So my doctor put me on rice, applesauce, toast and jello diet. And after a few weeks I was able to eat. I would ask your doctor for an ultrasound. That is the best way to know if you are having twins. I had one done at 12 weeks because my doctor thought I was further along. and sure enough i am only having one. Not sure I can handle two kids at once. But just to be on the safe side go in for an ultrasound.posted 12/19/2011 by tiffayala

Is anyone here riding them regularly now? I've heard good things about them and might soon get a pair.
Is anyone here riding them regularly now? I've heard good things about them and might soon get a pair.
I love mine, they came with my Tarmac and I can't fault them.
Epic/Tarmac/Langster Pro
I hear a lot of people who talk about 105 being the best entry point for shimano, I having spent two weeks on a shop bike with the new sora, I can honestly say it's really, really good. I've actually ordered a groupset to put on a drop-bar city bike that I'm planning.
They even remade the 2400/Tourney to the same style. Have a set on my rain bike. Not bad at all.
I've heard good things here, then, too.
I'm curious as to how much of a stigmata racing roadies would associate with my using a bike that has a Sora groupset on it to race.
Most people say/said that the 'standard' level of a group for a race bike would be/of been 105, as that is where the value per money or performance for cost starts to deminish and you only get marginal gains for considerable amount more money.
I don't think that's the case any more, I race my Sora bike. Sora doesn't hold my bike back, even after upgrading other components (contact points and wheels from stock), they still aren't holding anything back. It's the rider!
For guys racing on a budget (like myself), I'd say Sora is perfect - although I haven't used a higher mechanical groupset (only Di2 Ultegra and DA on buddies bikes).
And, an added bonus, I get this silly grin on my face when I out-sprint/climb someone with a Dura-Ace shifters that cost the same amount of my whole bike.
Epic/Tarmac/Langster Pro
I was wondering how long that would slide.
Practice makes less sucky.
I tested the new Sora and wasn't very impressed. There's a lot of sloppiness in the system IMO. The latest 10sp Tiagra is very good though, I have it on a secondary bike. The hoods are quite small on Tiagra. I prefer the larger 105 hoods on my primary bike.
As mentioned the latest version of 2300 (called Claris) now has the same style upshift button as Sora/Tiagra.
yeah they mean you'll be ridiculed.
'Cuz Roadiez be getting super close to you and lower their cadence just to see what y'all using. Like one big outdoor High School.
i think you mean stigma
does the new sora specify between double and triple or are they compatible with both like the older tiagra shifters?
Weird. For some reason I was under the impression that the new Sora got rid of the thumb shifters.
Two wheels good. Four wheels bad.
Its pretty good. good cables make a huge difference. My Only complaint is the lack of cassette options.

If you see Serena Williams holding a blanket this week, watch out.
It seems that Melbourne's unseasonable cool weather for much of the past week has put the five-time Australian Open champion into a bit of a funk, and not the good kind with dancing and music.
"It's been putting me in a really bad mood," stated an unusually subdued Williams on Saturday. "But then it got really, really hot. I was very sad that I complained, so I don't complain any more about the weather,"
"I travel with a blanket. If I go out to eat, I just always take my blanket with me."
Luckily for 17-year-old Australian Ashleigh Barty, Williams' designated first-round opponent, the temperature is tipped to be 33 degrees on Monday and 40 on Tuesday, so with a bit of luck Serena will be in a good mood when the two play.
The bad news is that good mood or not, Williams will be there primarily to bring about the talented teenager's downfall.
"Under any other circumstances, I'd probably be rooting for her as well," said Williams, who admitted to taking the opportunity in Brisbane to take a look at Barty, who upset Daniela Hantuchova in the first round.
It's a dangerous opening to the tournament for Williams, who is shooting for her sixth title in Melbourne. Pull it off and she'll find herself on equal footing with tennis legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, who each won 18 majors during storied careers.
For Williams, joining these two icons of the game would be an honour.
"I still have a lot of work to do," she said.
"I obviously want to be able to reach that level, but I'm not there yet. Hopefully I'll get there."
Williams was in scorching-hot form in Melbourne before injury struck in 2013 – an ankle sprain in the opening round came before her back locked up during her quarterfinal loss to countrywoman Sloane Stephens.
In the preceding four rounds, she had dropped just eight games. And despite not winning the tournament, her form in the first few rounds of the tournament would turn out to be a pointer to the 78-4 season that was to come.
Williams said on Saturday that she's hoping to put those Melbourne misfortunes behind her, earlier describing her 2013 tournament here as being "a little difficult", her tongue firmly planted inside her cheek.
"I just wasn't able to stay on two feet, literally … This year I've been doing a lot of exercises for my ankles and trying to make sure that they're pretty stabilised.
"Right now I feel pretty good. Felt pretty good the last at least year. So I'll see how it goes."
And should Williams stay on two feet and the weather remains warm, the top seed will be happy, but very difficult to beat.

Two fields may seem minuscule to some, but rest assure since the concept of Pokémon depends on having only a red and blue version. Adding more would only weaken that very fabric that makes the formula a success. There is also plenty of diversity in the gameplay to keep things from getting bored.
For Game Boy owners, the recent rash of colorized remixes makes Pokémon Pinball stands out as an original title and the unique rumble feature only further emphasizes that. So while this game won't displace Tetris has the must-have title on long trips, its still a great alternative especially if you get into a heated competition for the top score, despite there being no real linked two-player modes.
Next-generation system owners should keep in mind that while the graphics are quite charming and utilize the available colors well; everything looks distinctly 8-bit.
For people disgusted with Pokémon, Pokémon Pinball won't change your mind. But for those who want to see what the Pokémon craze is all about without having to sacrifice the tremendous hours required to the play the role-playing game, Pokémon Pinball is perfect.

On October 13th & 14th, 2012 the 43rd Anniversary of the Madison County Covered Bridge Festival will be celebrated in Winterset, Iowa, with the theme being "The Stories of Madison County!"
To quote the first Festival brochure (1970): "The Festival will take place in Winterset, Iowa, during the season when the wooded hills are ablaze with color! Designed to give visitors a glimpse of life in Madison County before the turn of the 20thcentury, the setting of the Festival and the bridges throughout the county are an artist's paradise and a camera bug's heaven!"
What was true forty-three years ago, in 1970, is still true today! Our six 130+year-old covered bridges are one of the main attractions and centerpieces of the Covered Bridge Festival. Guided bus-tours sponsored by the Winterset Rotarians are offered throughout the weekend, with stops at a few of the bridges. Many Tour Directors bring groups to Madison County all year-long to experience a "Storybook Tour", which is packed full of history lessons about the making of the movie "Bridges of Madison County", filmed in 1994. You will also find live demonstrations featuring the following sheep shearing; glass jewelry making, woodcarving, as well as a cannon demonstration, pony rides and competitions such as an "Old Fashioned Spelling Bee" at the Festival. Along with wonderful artisan booths, local storytellers embody famous persons who relate tales of early Iowa history --like George Washington Carver and 'Uncle' Henry Wallace, two well-known men who each called Winterset 'home', Scavenger hunts and other old-fashioned games, Other activities not to be missed will include penny candy sales, a civil war battle, horse ferrier and live chainsaw carving demos and horse-drawn wagon rides – all taking place Saturday only at the Madison County Historical Complex.
A collectable coin is struck each year commemorating a local historic structure -- this year the McBride Bridge is featured in a commemorative fashion, as the McBride Bridge was regrettably burnt down in 1983.
The two-day festival hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, October 13th & 14th, 2012. There will be a festival grounds admission fee of $2 each day (children 11 & under being free). Parking is free with shuttle services to outlying lots and various other Festival venues.

Kate Middleton on Tour: 6 Examples of Hair PerfectionSunny Chanel
There was one thing I thought of every time I saw a photo of Kate Middleton on her royal tour of New Zealand and Australia. It wasn't how adorable Prince George is, it wasn't the beautiful array of outfits she assembled for the adventure, it wasn't her glowing skin — it was her fricken' amazing hair. Seriously, Catherine's tresses were styled flawlessly, be it in an up-do or just down and wavy. One things for sure, her hair always looks stunning.
And I'm not alone in my appreciation of her hairstyles during her travels. The Huffington Post had a piece entitled, "Kate Middleton's Hair Was The Best Part Of The Royal Tour." The article stated, "Whether it's up, down, in between, or even being tugged on by Prince George, Catherine's tresses are always picture perfect. Women around the world are jealous of the Duchess' voluminous hair (seriously, how does it always look so good?)." Yes, it's amazing.
Check out some of her hair highlights below:
