Israeli PM's talks with US President will focus on his plans to redraw Israel's recognized borders.
Middle East Online
By Ron Bousso - WASHINGTON
His first talks with Bush
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert prepared Monday for his first talks with US President George W. Bush that will focus on the Israeli leader's plans to redraw Israel's recognized borders. Olmert arrived in the US capital Sunday and planned to hold talks Monday evening with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice focusing on the stalled peace process with the Palestinians as well as Iran's nuclear program. The prime minister, who is scheduled to meet Bush at the White House on Tuesday, will seek to bolster the Jewish state's relations with its chief ally, which are instrumental in his ambitious plan to redraw the map of the Middle East. In a similar way to his predecessor, Ariel Sharon, who led the withdrawal of Israeli troops and settlers from the occupied Gaza Strip, Olmert will use his visit to "show himself as a reliable and serious leader who can implement historic moves," a senior government official said. The newly-elected premier has vowed to dismantle dozens of Jewish settlements in the West Bank by 2010 in order to assure Israel's defensible and viable borders. But in turn he wants to cement control over the big housing blocs where the vast majority of the quarter of a million settlers live - with or without agreement from the Palestinians. Despite his determination to push forward with his plan, Olmert will assure the US Administration that his government was determined to hold talks with Palestinian Authority leader Mahmud Abbas before turning to unilateral steps. "Olmert will open negotiation channels with Abbas, but they will be measured in months," the official said. "He needs to convince himself, the US and the Arab states that such an option has been exhausted." But in order for the negotiations to succeed, Israel expects Abbas to reciprocate first of all by dismantling Palestinian terror infrastructures, including the radical Hamas movement, which leads the government. "The US has to put pressure on Abbas to use his constitutional powers to dissolve the Hamas government... there will be no talks unless Abbas delivers," the official said. Israel's deputy premier Shimon Peres said Sunday that Olmert will meet Abbas after his return from Washington. In the meanwhile, Peres and Israel Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni held talks with Abbas on the sidelines of an economic conference in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Seikh in what was the highest-level contact between the two sides since the shock election win of Hamas. Livni vowed they would act to prevent a humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories, in the grip of massive financial problems after Israel and the West cut aid to the Hamas-led government. Israel and the US accuse Iran of leading a secret programme to obtain nuclear weapons, although the Islamic state insists will be used for peaceful goals. Coupled with Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad's threat to wipe Israel of the map, the Jewish state sees Iran's atomic ambition as an existential threat. "The coordination we had in the past over the Iranian issue will continue and will probably improve" following the meeting, the official said.

H2O Audio has introduced its new Amphibx Grip case for the fourth-generation iPod shuffle and sixth-generation iPod nano. The Amphibx Grip is a fully waterproof, sweatproof, and sandproof armband-style case, featuring a "ClearTouch Window" that allows for full use of the nano's touchscreen or shuffle's front controls while in the case, a locking closure, a pass-through headphone jack compatible with both the company's waterproof and standard headphones, and an adjustable strap to fit most arms. H2O Audio's Amphibx Grip waterproof armband for the fourth-generation iPod shuffle and sixth-generation iPod nano is available now and sells for $60.

If this doesn't let you press the Sleep/Wake button on the nano it will be useless because the screen goes off after 60 seconds and the only way to get it back is to press that button. Also the volume buttons are the only way to adjust volume unless you use headphones with remote.
Posted by BrennerM on September 14, 2010 at 12:31 PM (CDT)
The sleep/wake and volume buttons are fully functional through the armband window. Because the Clear Touch window is made of flexible plastic, and the new nano is so thin, you're able to get your finger over the top of the nano and use the buttons with very little effort.

'Dark Knight Rises' Possible Plot: Batman and Bane's Battle
June 11, 2011 (3:49 am) GMT
A possible plot for Christopher Nolan's third 'Batman' film has leaked online, highlighting the fight between Batman and Bane which involves a bone-breaking action.
Since Tom Hardy was officially cast as Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises", fans have been speculating about how Batman and Bane will fight. In its report, Comic Book Movies claims to obtain a major plot for the film from "a completely reliable source".
According to CBM, [SPOILER ALERT!] "Bruce Wayne/Batman & Bane will certainly clash hard in The Dark Knight Rises." The site further detailed, "During their first fight against one-another will, Bane WILL break Batman's back!"
In this sequel for "The Dark Knight", Christian Bale reprises his role as Bruce Wayne. New cast members include Anne Hathaway who will portray Selina Kyle. Christopher Nolan returns as a helmer in this film, which is due July 20, 2012 in the U.S.

Materials Research Society Fall Meeting (MRS fall meeting)
30 November 2009 - 3 December 2009

For several years there have been many efforts to employ ink jet technologies in the fabrication of consumer electronics. The potential of displacing large and expensive pieces of electronic fabrication equipment and processes with seemingly appropriately scaled inexpensive alternatives is attractive. However, of course, the devil is in the details. Feature size, accuracy, registration and materials all have sever impacts on design rules, processing, performance and the types of devices appropriate to the technology. Here we present a look at some of the materials and deposition challenges along with solutions developed at PARC. The discussion will include the defining of printed features >5μm with ±1.5μm drop placement and layer to layer alignment accuracy, the materials characteristics of the generally complex functional fluids of interest required for reliable jetting and device performance. Examples of ink jet fabricated integrated circuits, working displays, imagers and microfluidic devices and RGB color filters for 15" displays will be shared.

LJWorld.com weblogs Black Friday in Lawrence
Stores open early to greet Black Friday shoppers
9:54 a.m. update by Joe Preiner
Walmart at midnight on Black Friday is no joke.
I wandered over to the shopping center, 3300 Iowa St., a few minutes before Thanksgiving officially ended. I had read some ads noting deals for $1.96 movies, good discounts on heated blankets and other various midnight bargains. I was confident I'd be able to find everything that had interested me. I ended up leaving with only one item thanks to some rookie mistakes.
I completely underestimated how many people had the same idea I did. The parking lot was packed and I'm pretty sure I ended up being closer to the Target across the street when I finally got out of my car. I was also a little shocked when I entered the building. It felt more like noon on a Wednesday before a new KU semester than midnight on a Friday.
The normal walking lanes were divided in two, with major sale items lining the space between. People generally followed established shop-walking patterns, though I did witness a shorter woman almost become the victim of a mauling by cart. No apology was issued, what I assumed was just the nature of the Black Friday beast.
I reached the movie section at 12:04 a.m. Everything I wanted was already gone. It hadn't even been on sale for five minutes and I was out of luck. Feeling defeated with my one item — many around me had carts full of toys, TVs, movies, towels, etc. — I tried to make my way back to the check out lanes at the front of the store. Instead, I was herded along with the rest of the shoppers on a predetermined path. The number of people around me made it hard to go anywhere but where they were going. I'm not a claustrophobic person, but I was beginning to feel a little uncomfortable. I managed to break away from the crowd and walked easily through the kids clothing section, seemingly not a holiday shopping hot spot.
Another thing I noticed while I was there was that people were already claiming items that weren't going on sale for another five hours. Hot-ticket items, mostly in electronics, were being guarded by dedicated consumers. I couldn't imagine holding something for that long just to be able to buy it later, but to each their own.
The one part that did go smoothly was the check out. The process was quick and painless.
If I learned anything from the experience it's that I'm not really cut out for Black Friday shopping.
9:06 a.m. update by Joe Preiner
We've added some photos to our Black Friday gallery.
8:51 a.m. update by Joe Preiner
Chief photographer Mike Yoder was out and about during the morning shenanigans. Shoppers were bundled up to fight the cold as they waited in various lines. The man at the front of the Best Buy line had been waiting there since about 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
7:41 a.m. update by Joe Preiner
While the shopping continues at some of the larger stores around Lawrence, the scene downtown has yet to pick up. Here are a few photos of the local consumer scene from a little earlier this morning.
7:02 a.m. update by Joe Preiner
Here's an update on how busy some of the go-to shopping destinations are currently:
• Best Buy, 2020 W. 31st St. - almost no line, minimal wait
• Kohl's, 3240 Iowa St. - still has lengthy lines snaking their way around the store
• World Market, 3106 Iowa St. - opened at 7 a.m. to long line of eager shoppers
The local residents from today's Man on the Street question didn't think they'd be getting out for Black Friday deal finding. Did you make it out this morning?
6:33 a.m. update by Joe Preiner
Reporter Shaun Hittle caught some of the morning craziness today at a few area stores. Check out these videos for an idea of what crowds were like.
4:15 a.m. update by Shaun Hittle
Here's a 20 second look at shoppers storming Kohl's this morning:
3:42 a.m. update by Shaun Hittle
Temperatures continue to fall into the low 20s, but some shoppers got to warm up at Kohl's, which opened its doors at 3 a.m. A block away, about 100 people remain lined up at Best Buy, set to open at 5 a.m.
While the Kohl's shoppers get the early prize for crazy entrance, nobody's got anything on the resilient Best Buy crowd. Shoppers report waiting in line since 7 p.m. Thanksgiving Day.
2:00 a.m. update by Shaun Hittle
The trend for holiday shopping in 2009 was denimn, but this year the National Retail Federation says consumers are looking for bling.
Gift cards and clothing are still among the most-requested presents for 2010, but jewelry is a more luxurious trend we haven't seen in recent years due to the economy.
LJWorld.com reporter Christine Metz spoke with local jewelers about what they expect this holiday season.
1:10 a.m. Update by Shaun Hittle
Leah Coons, 14, waited in line at Old Navy for more than an hour in order to cash in on Old Navy's giveaway of the X-Box "Connect" dance game. Coons explained that all you have to do is spend $25 to get the game, which is "really easy to do." Later, in a hushed tone, Leah reports that only the first 30 shoppers can get a wristband for the game. Luckily, she's about 6th in line.
After she spends her $25 and gets her game, she headed to bed.
"I need to sleep. I haven't done that yet," she said.
12:35 a.m. Update by Shaun Hittle
More than 100 eager Black Friday shoppers waited outside Old Navy awaiting the store's midnight opening. Some of the deals found included two for $5 fleece gloves, hat, or scarves. And of course, this boy's vest:
Here's a look at the crowd filing in:
12 a.m. Update by Whitney Mathews
This morning, stores across Lawrence will open early and offer some of their best deals of the year for holiday shoppers. We'll be bringing you periodic updates on Black Friday deals, news and crowds in town.

Oh come on. It is cheap entertainment. I just LMAO last night at Walmart.. haha
somebodynew 5 years, 7 months ago
Ah yes, the BIGGEST shopping day of the season !!! Now, I am not a shopper, so when I went for a regular walk through downtown shortly after 9am, I fully expected it to be a little slower than normal as I would have to dodge all the people.
Nope, the place that constantly whines and moans about needing special treatment to survive, wasn't even open. There were 3-4 places that were open before the "normal" 10am time, but that was it. Now, I know noone is going to line up at 3-4am downtown for deals, but I would have thought the stores would open by about 8 or so to catch all those people who were already out.
Oh well, I had a very pleasant (chilly) walk and enjoyed myself as I normally do. Hope the merchants do well this season, or don't come crying to the City for more "extras" or try to keep out any other stores wanting to move in for fear of competition - can't compete if you aren't open.

Reason TV's Nanny of the Year is …
posted at 12:15 pm on December 28, 2011 by Ed Morrissey
It's the end of the year, and so it's awards season, and not just at Hot Air. (Have you voted in today's OOTY polls yet?) Reason TV caps off its series of 2011 Nannies of the Month by selecting one as the Nanny of the Year, presented by Ted Balaker and attended by a virtual cast of thousands. This year, they select a lawmaker that went too far in attempting to criminalize sexual contact between teachers and students, pushing a law that would have made it a felony for instructors at any level to have an intimate relationship with an adult student:
These United States have produced many worthy nominees in 2011. Who could forget the city planner who threatened a woman with 93 days behind bars for growing vegetables or the state senator who did his best to outlaw crossing the street while listening to an iPod (shortly before pleading guilty to federal corruption charges).
But this year the golden Nanny goes to the Wolverine state pol who's bent on making most any kind of teacher-student sex–not just a fireable offense, but a felony, even if the student is older than age 18 or even if teacher and student are middle-aged. (And, in an apparent attempt to secure nanny gold, our winner is also fighting to force school kids to recite the pledge in front of genuine made-in-America flags.)
As I wrote a few weeks ago (this was the latest Nanny of the Month), the law would have flown in the face of Lawrence v Texas, and, er, common sense. I'm not sure I'd pick this as their NOTY, though; there were some pretty good candidates this year. Let's set up our own poll to see which nanny-stater gets the Hot Air nod.

The U.S. Navy reported that its Norfolk Ship Support Activity (NSSA) welcomed the Mexican Navy Delegation to Building CEP-200, Naval Station Norfolk, Aug. 21 for a visit to demonstrate how one of the Navy's Regional Maintenance Centers (RMC) operates. NSSA Production Officer Capt. James S. Talbert briefed the delegation on NSSA's RMC shop capabilities and its organizational structure.
"We just wanted to show them a snapshot of how our organization runs," Talbert said.
The delegation toured several production shops including air conditioning and repair, pump, flex hose, valve, powdercoat and gas turbine training room, the U.S. Navy said, and the delegation was met at each shop by a subject matter expert who briefed them on their shop's capabilities.
The last stop on the tour was the gas turbine training room, where Chief Gas Turbine System (Mechanical) Technician Raymond Hubbard, leading chief petty officer, briefed the delegation on the capabilities of the LM2500 gas turbine, which Hubbard identified as "the main propulsion engine used on the guided missile cruisers, frigates and destroyers."
Upon completion of the tour, Director of Mexican Navy General Staff, Rear Adm. Gregorio Martinez Nunez presented Talbert with his command's coin.
"It's very interesting to see the capacity that the United States Navy has to train their personnel," Nunez said. "It shows professionalism and reflects the potential that the U.S. Navy has and hopefully we can have that same potential."

The $8.5 billion San Diego County Employees Retirement Association is currently searching for four to six managers for its newly implemented active commodity program.
SDCERA implemented a passive commodity program in June 2005 and transitioned to enhanced strategies in August 2006. Two months ago, the plan's board furthered its active guidelines by adopting a policy for its commodity allocation, which include a maximum allocation of 15% to equities, 15% to physical commodities, allow short positions and use a mixture of enhanced and active managers.
The newly adopted policy also allows for investments in swaps, separate accounts, partnerships, funds-of-funds and commingled funds. The plan's search is managed by consultant Ennis Knupp + Associates.

Thanks for those suggestions. I'm trying not to experiment too much as ink & photo paper aren't the cheapest substances around.
I will have another play and see what I can achieve. I may have to put this one down to experience & buy something more expensive.

Painful Foot tramples opposition
Painful Foot has trampled Dragons in the Echuca TableTennis competition.September 1, 2014 3:23am
Painful Foot and Dragons battled out the closest match of the round last week in the Echuca Table Tennis competition.
It was the former who prevailed in the 6-5 result, which despite the close final outcome, only saw three sets against the winners throughout the night.
Ray Kissell won four of his five matches, while Sam Lyon won all his singles games for Painful Foot.
Cameron Oldham led The Force to a comfortable 7-4 win against Ned's Gang, while the only two five-set matches for the night were played in the doubles with the results split.
Opium also enjoyed a solid 7-4 win against Hit the Net with Darcy Regan going through undefeated.
Slamrrs' Steve Robinson enjoyed a good night as he led his team to a 6-4 win against Give Me Half, with both doubles matches decided by narrow margins in their fifth sets alongside teammates Richard Ham and Astrid Lenne.
The final match saw Raincheck win 7-4 against Sauces Scorchers to stand alone at the top of the ladder, with the winners making the most of their substitute number one players.
The three chasing teams Opium, Sauces Scorchers and The Force are level on points and rubbers won, with set difference only separating them.
Opium defeated Dragons 6-5, with Regan and Josh Hanson combining to win the match-deciding a five-set thriller against Kissell and Meg Berryman, while Raincheck and Give Me Half had the same outcome.
The four five-set matches in the clash were split among the two teams, with the result ultimately decided between the two number ones, Darren Short and Daniel Mackrell.
Short won in four sets, with three of the sets seeing both players into double figures.
All three remaining matches saw 7-4 scorelines, with the undefeated Ash Button leading Painful Foot to the win against Slamrrs — but not before enjoying a high-quality five-set stoush against Steve Robinson.
Hit the Net prevailed 7-4 against Ned's Gang, with Jason Seabrook and Jim Greenwood each winning four of their five games.
The final match saw Kyle Bartlett go undefeated through the night as Sauces Scorchers beat The Force, with Hayden Favaloro also enjoying a good night.
Ladder: Raincheck (16 points), Opium (12), Sauces Scorchers (12), The Force (12), Dragons (8), Slamrrs (8), Painful Foot (4), Give Me Half (4), Hit the Net (4), Ned's Gang (0).
Tomorrow's draw: Raincheck v Ned's Gang, Slamrrs v Sauces Scorchers, Dragons v Give Me Half, Opium v Painful Foot, The Force v Hit the Net.

Catholics take out ads in "battle for America's soul"
Post your comment

so we can expect teh church to pre-emptively annul marriages where children cannot be produced?!
Typical RC facisctic interference in the democratic process of a secular state.
apYrs, so the RC church says…"cannot fulfil the primary purpose of marriage,"which is to give birth and raise children."
Well, my advice to the RC church and others who oppose marriage equality to demand fertility tests of both intended parties who wish to marry. If one fails, they should be barred from marrying. Similarly, if a straight couple wants to marry but intends not to have children, they should suffer the same fate.
The C of E would be in agreement with the RC church stand of course, lets not lose sight of that. That's why we have no right to marry in the UK for those of us who want it. Thank goodness Spain had the guts to stand up to the state Roman cult, unprecedented anywhere as did Belgium and to a lesser extent Holland.
The advertising director of the LA Times went on to say that he would NOT have accepted an advertisement submitted by a racist, anti-semitic or anti-Catholic group. He didn't explain why he feels that accepting a two page homophobic ad from a homophobic group is different.
There's probably a good reason why he didn't explain; there's no good explanation that wouldn't show him to be disingenuous, biased and without credibility.
I found it intersting to go to their website (linked in the article) and their poll, "What do you think about the California Supreme Court decision, forcing the legalization of same-sex "marriage?"
Right now, 80% of respondents chose "It is a welcome step for human rights."
It is a welcome step for human rights
I'm really surprised that the TFP only focuses on homosexuality and hasn't embraced the bible's advocacy for slavery and stonings for crimes instead of prisons. There are many components in the bible that are conveniently ignored but suddenly homosexuality is a target – can it be because that is the only remaining group in the United States against whom discrimination is still legal?
The Republican Party, as so firmly supported by the Catholic church, must be so befuddled over the conflict from that civil war mistake abolishing American slavery when they now see they must be on the leading edge of fighting *for* discrimination against loving gay couples.
The other thing that confuses me is, given the claim that marriage is only for straight people to procreate, why do they allow the marriage of infertile couples. That is a puzzling conflict.

Metabolic Syndrome: A New Way of Thinking About Long-Term Risk
By Ruth Werner, LMP, NCTMB, Massage Therapy Foundation President
Dear Readers,
The votes are in, and metabolic syndrome is the choice this month. This condition is not really a specific illness. Instead, it is a collection of features that, individually, are not great, but not particularly alarming.Together in various combinations, however, diabetes and cardiovascular disease are almost a certainty. Since cardiovascular disease and its corollaries (heart attack, stroke, heart failure, aneurysm, etc.) are responsible for nearly 40 percent of deaths in the United States, it behooves massage therapists and other bodyworkers to be familiar with this health-risk profile.
What makes metabolic syndrome especially interesting, in my opinion, is that it is a proactive approach to dealing with disease risks. Identifying when a person has some of the components of metabolic syndrome gives a person the chance to undo those processes before they progress to a more advanced and serious disease state. This idea of identifying and treating an illness before it creates significant problems is unusual in our allopathic medical community; however, this shift indicates good changes in the future.
Demographics: Statistics for the incidence of metabolic syndrome vary. Some researchers suggest it affects some 16 million Americans (about .06 percent), the majority of which are unaware of its existence. The Cleveland Clinic Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism indicates that the incidence is 22 percent, or about 47 million people. The National Cholesterol Education Program suggests that up to 44 percent of all people over 50-years-old meet the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome. These inconsistencies may have to do with the age of the target group studied, differing diagnostic criteria, geographical region and other variables.
Metabolic Syndrome Features: Most of the features of metabolic syndrome are silent and go undetected without the appropriate blood work.
Metabolic syndrome is diagnosed when at least three of these five features are present. Therefore, while a person may have a large waist, if the other components are absent, the risk of cardiovascular disease is low. Other features sometimes seen with metabolic syndrome include a high risk of blood clotting, and polycystic ovary disease in women.
Treatment: The first, best option for a person with metabolic syndrome is to exercise and lose weight. Reducing body weight by 5 to 7 percent (this is only 10-14 pounds for a 200 pound person) significantly reduces the risk of complications due to insulin resistance; exercise improves insulin action and decreases blood glucose. Limiting alcohol use and quitting smoking are other important steps. If these lifestyle changes are insufficient to control this disorder, medications that improve insulin uptake and/or stimulate more insulin production may be prescribed, along with agents that work to lower blood pressure and/or cholesterol.
The role of the massage therapist who works with clients that are not perfectly healthy is to maximize the benefits of bodywork, while minimizing risks. This may mean changing tactics or adapting techniques to accommodate for the fragility of a client with a compromised circulatory system.
One way to make this determination is to get an idea of the client's activities of daily living (ADL). Does the client exercise regularly? Is it safe for the client to elevate his or her heart rate? Does the client huff and puff while climbing the stairs to the massage clinic? Has a doctor suggested avoiding aerobic exercise? This data informs the decisions about what kinds of bodywork are most appropriate. Techniques that focus on fluid movement may be less tolerated by a client whose circulatory system is challenged, but energetic or reflexive techniques that don't focus on fluid flow may be safe and welcome.
Metabolic syndrome patients who exercise rigorously and successfully control blood glucose, hypertension, and other features, are likely to be fine candidates for more vigorous circulatory-based techniques like Swedish or sports massage.
For next time: I have recently received a surprising number of letters requesting an article on contagious skin diseases like warts and herpes. Because I usually teach this material whenever I go on the road, I'd gotten it into my head that most therapists were pretty much at home with these topics. Clearly, I am mistaken! Unless I hear otherwise, I plan to focus my next column on herpes simplex. Do you have any stories you'd like to share? Let me know, so we can all benefit from your experience.
Until then, many thanks and many blessings.

The roles of microarchitecture and types of trabeculae in determining elastic modulus of trabecular bone have been studied in μCT images of 29 trabecular bone samples by comparing their Young's moduli calculated by finite element analysis (FEA) with different trabecular type-specific reconstructions. The results suggest that trabecular plates play an essential role in determining elastic properties of trabecular bone.
Introduction: Osteoporosis is an age-related disease characterized by low bone mass and architectural deterioration. Other than bone volume fraction (BV/TV), microarchitecture of bone is also believed to be important in governing mechanical properties of trabecular bone. We quantitatively examined the role of microarchitecture and relative contribution of trabecular types of individual trabecula in determining the elastic property of trabecular bone.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-nine human cadaveric trabecular bone samples were scanned at 21-μm resolution using a μCT system. Digital topological analysis (DTA) consisting of skeletonization and classification was combined with a trabecular type-specific reconstruction technique to extract the skeleton and identify topological type of trabeculae of the original trabecular bone image. Four different μCT-based finite element (FE) models were constructed for each specimen: (1) original full voxel; (2) skeletal voxel; (3) rod-reconstructed, preserving rod volume and plate skeleton; and (4) plate-reconstructed, preserving plate volume and rod skeleton. For each model, the elastic moduli were calculated under compression along each of three image-coordinate axis directions. Plate and rod tissue fractions directly measured from DTA-based topological classification were correlated with the elastic moduli computed from full voxel model.
Results: The elastic moduli of skeleton models were significantly correlated with those of full voxel models along all three coordinate axes (r2 = 0.38−0.53). The rod-reconstructed model contained 21.3% of original bone mass and restored 1.5% of elastic moduli, whereas the plate-reconstructed model contained 90.3% of bone mass and restored 53.2% of elastic moduli. Plate tissue fraction showed a significantly positive correlation (r2 = 0.49) with elastic modulus by a power law, whereas rod tissue fraction showed a significantly negative correlation (r2 = 0.42).
Conclusions: These results quantitatively show that the microarchitecture alone affects elastic moduli of trabecular bone and trabecular plates make a far greater contribution than rods to the bone's elastic behavior.

HOUSTON, Aug. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 3, 2014, manufacturers around the nation will open their doors to the public and host events highlighting the importance of manufacturing to people's everyday lives. Recognizing the importance of the grassroots initiative known as Manufacturing Day, Shell Lubricants stepped up its commitment by becoming the sole platinum sponsor.
"Shell Lubricants hopes that by sponsoring Manufacturing Day, people will not only learn more about what we do, but become part of this critically-important industry," said Jacqueline Gates, Industrial Marketing Manager at Shell Lubricants. "We recognize that people simply do not fully understand what the manufacturing industry does and the benefits it offers."
Manufacturers, governmental agencies, local colleges and universities across the country will celebrate Manufacturing Day. Each manufacturing facility will help educate local communities on the continued growth of the manufacturing industry and the positive impact that their companies make on the fabric and economy of the United States. The open house events will highlight day-to-day activities, including live demonstrations and facility tours, as well as question and answer sessions providing insight on the innovative and challenging environment of today's manufacturers. Attendees will also learn about the rewarding careers available within the industry.
In recognition of Manufacturing Day and to help raise awareness of the third annual event, the Manufacturing Day logo will be placed on the deck lid of the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Fusion driven by Joey Logano during the September 14th Sprint Cup race in Chicago. Logano's car featured the Manufacturing Day logo at the Chicago race last year as well.
In 2013, the second annual Manufacturing Day proved to be bigger and more successful than its opening year, raking in an attendance of more than 35,000 guests at 834 participating manufacturers across 48 states. This surpassed the goal of 500 nationwide events and 18,000 attendees. With the help of Shell Lubricants and several other U.S. manufacturing organizations, the goal for this year's Manufacturing Day has been set at 1,500 events across the country with at least 50,000 individuals in attendance.
For more information on the Shell Lubricants sponsorship of the 2014 Manufacturing Day, please visit www.mfgday.com/sponsors. The social media hashtag for Manufacturing Day is #MfgDay14.

Did you know that 40% of people over age 65 have not written down their wishes regarding life support and other end-of-life treatment? One reason for this may be that people have not had a conversation with their doctor about the options that are available.
In the past, Medicare did not cover these doctor-patient conversations – except during the patient's initial "Welcome to Medicare" visit, a time when the topic might not seem very relevant. Under new regulations, however, Medicare will cover these conversations at any time.
