Plain Bearing Hinge: Plain bearing hinges feature knuckles that are machined to a smooth surface, allowing them to move against one another without bearings. Plain bearing hinges are not recommended for heavy use on high traffic entrance ways, but meet the need of a standard residential door.
Material - Stainless Steel: Stainless steel reacts with oxygen in the air to form a very thin film of chromium oxide on the surface of the steel. This helps prevent the steel inside from rusting, and is great for homes in climates prone to rusting.
Mounting: The standard corners for mortised door hinges are 1/4" radius, 5/8" radius and square corner. It is recommended that three hinges be used on doors up to and including 7.5 feet with one additional hinge for each additional 2.5 feet. Make sure you check your current hinges before making a purchase.

- Made from Stainless Steel
- Mount: Mortise
- Gauge: 0.085" (Thickness of Hinge Steel)

State leaders: patience for me, not thee
As inconvenience and frustration build from the snowfall of last weekend's blizzard, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy says state and municipal road departments are doing the best they can. Indeed they are, along with the governor himself, who has been tirelessly coordinating government's limited resources to undo the damage of a snowfall unprecedented since the legendary Blizzard of 1888.
At least now Connecticut has machinery for snow removal. But Connecticut has neither the machinery nor the operators to deal quickly with a snowstorm this big. A few days after the snow stopped, some side streets, especially in the cities and inner suburbs, still were not cleared and might not be cleared for a few more days.

I just ran my first half marathon a few days ago. I want to try to run a full marathon in May. So I am attempting to put together a training plan for myself based on everything I've read so far and by referring to the available training plans around the Internet.
The question I have is about the length of the long runs. The longest run I've done so far was 16 miles. Beyond that distance I am in uncharted, for me, territory.
Most training plans that I find take you up to 20 miles on your long runs. I've seen some people arguing that even 20 miles is too long and unnecessary.
There are others, like Jeff Galloway, that suggest that you run as long as 29 miles long runs in preparation for a marathon.
Matt Fitzgerald in his book "Run: The Mind-Body Method of Running by Feel" talks about the importance of doing whatever makes you feel confident in your ability to achieve your goal. I really think it's a good point. I certainly wouldn't feel confident racing a distance that I never covered in my training.
I do, however, understand the argument that running 20+ miles in your training puts a big strain on your body and requires for more recovery/easy runs which prevents you from running more quality workouts.
However, I feel like I should run 26.2 (and probably more) at least once before the race day.
What are your thoughts on running over 20 miles in preparation for a marathon?
Thank you.
There are a lot of different opinions and training plans, as you suggested. I also agree with the notion that the considerations of potential injury have to be considered with the long run schedule and it is also important to monitor your personal comfort level along with methods that work the best for your performance.
In general, the risks of doing extended long runs probably outweigh the benefits. I understand your thought process and think it is a valuable theory for a 10k or even a half, but preparing for the full is very different, so I think you will do fine focusing on tempo runs, a regular schedule and averaging 17-20 miles for the long runs.
The key is consistency and slowly building the additional endurance (without just focusing on pushing out the total miles).
Another option to consider is splitting the miles. I had to do this for my first marathon. It is certainly not the same as additional time for the LR, but if you do one route in the morning and another in the evening (same day), and then increase the distance by about 20% per week, it would reduce the physical strain. So, in that case, you could max out doing 12 miles early and 12 miles later, for example.
Best of luck in your training.
Everyone is different I never ran over 22 for my 1st and now only do around 18! No right or wrong answer but most will not have you do over 22. A more important number I think is your miles per week (MPW), the higher that number the better. It's a very fine line to getting to the start line healthy, mentally ready and somewhat fresh. Good luck
Thank you for replies guys.
I think I'm going to plan for up to 29 miles long runs but will adjust based on how I feel. If I feel like running 20-22-24 miles will be too much for me I will change my plan.
I think it's important to remember that plans are just numbers and you have to adjust them based on reality, feedback of your body and your life situations. You want to push yourself but to be sensible about it so that you don't push yourself over the edge.
#1 thing is to show up at the start trained with little to no injuries! It's a fine line and overuse injuries happen at once and it's often to late to correct them once they happen, be smart 29 is a lot of miles!
I'm not a trainer or a doctor, but here is my personal experience on 20 mile runs. This past January, i did my first marathon at age 46 in 4 hours, right on goal, with never doing more than 18 miles. I set my next goals to be 3:45 for this past October with the subsequent goal of 3:25 for this coming March in hopes of qualifying for Boston.
If you can't tell, I'm a bit competitive and with these goals, I sought out ways to make this happen. I was right on track with my parrot predictor for the October marathon to be 3:45 until my first of two 20 milers, about 8 weeks before the marathon. That first 20 miler went fine, but my second 20 miler caused me to tweak a hamstring (due to overuse) and with only five weeks to recover, caused me to basically treat the hamstring and loose all momentum I had gained. I got lots of treatment, nursed it and taped up my thigh the day of the marathon. Ultimately, i was able to gut out the October marathon, but ended at 4:20 due to my overuse injury, so instead of gaining the 15 minute in PR, i lost 20 minutes. On top of this I had to take a full 2 months off just to let the hamstring heal fully. I am slowly building back up for my March marathon, but with that back story, my goal is back to the 3:45 that I missed in October and I'll have to plan out my Boston qualifying once I accomplish my 3:45 goal.
Your call on 29 miles, but there is no way I'd push it that far pre marathon without a coach monitoring your progress and a close pulse on your core work, quality runs, etc... Once you are hurt, there is little you can do to fix it.
Good luck!

June 27, 2006
Hundreds of former textile workers spent the day looking for a new career. All are losing their jobs at Avondale Mills, in part because of last year's deadly train wreck.
Today the first day of a company sponsored job fair for employees.
Many stopped by the help desk to get some last minute resume and job hunting advice...that's one of the biggest worries for people who have spent a good part of their lives at the mill.
Wayne Wells is eager to get a new job.
"I was sitting at the house pacing...and I figured I can pace here as well as I can pace there, so I came early and I'm waiting for the doors to open," he told News 12 early Tuesday.
Wayne spent about a decade with Avondale Mills, and the news that it was closing came as a shock.
"I was called into my boss's office...he said 'Your time has come'," Wayne recalls.
And now for Wayne and hundreds of others it's time to look for work for the first time in years.
"I'm very nervous," said Glenda Swygert. "31 years out of the job market...it's kind of scary."
"I'm getting a little too old to be starting over again...but I guess I don't have any choice in that," Steve Perry said.
Manufacturing is the second largest industry in Aiken County. Twenty percent of that labor force is out of work. That means schools and county projects lose a million and a half tax dollars, according to administrator Clay Killian.
"The county was built around the mills," Killian said. "It will take a while to fully recover from it."
He says the career fair is a good start.
"We're going to be talking to everyone that walks by, and we're going to do everything we can to get them here," said employer Rusty Parkhill.
"Hopefully they'll sign up for my class!" laughed employer Connie Waterhouse.
Many need to find a good fit with one of the 55 employers at the fair soon.
"You got to plan your next shopping trip to the grocery store," said Steve. "You don't know how many paychecks you got coming up now."
"Financially we're not in trouble yet...but you know that's coming," Wayne said.
For the people worried about their money, One Stop, the federal organization helping with the fair, was handing out guidebooks today on how to survive a layoff.
If you missed the fair today, there are still two days left.
The Avondale Mills career fair is tomorrow from 1 to 5 pm, and Thursday from 1 to 6pm at the Christian Heritage Church off Ascauga Lake Road in Graniteville.

STANFORD -- Stanford avoided a third straight loss to begin Pac-12 Conference play by rallying to beat Washington State 78-67 on Wednesday.
The Cardinal trailed by five with less than seven minutes to play, but charged ahead with a 14-0 run to win the conference opener in front of 4,476 fans at Maples Pavilion.
"When we got down, everyone dug a little deeper, found something in themselves and came out and made big plays," Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins said. "It's a great way to win."
The rally prevented the Cardinal (10-6, 1-2 Pac-12) from a crippling start to conference play after it opened with losses at USC and UCLA. Stanford knew it couldn't afford another defeat.
"I was thinking, if we lose, practice is going to be awful," said Aaron Bright, who led the Cardinal with 21 points.
Washington State (9-6, 0-2) had trailed since midway through the first half when it grabbed a 42-41 lead on a 3-pointer by Brock Motum with 10:05 to play.
Motum, who scored a game-high 29, delivered a conventional three-point play with 7:10 left that gave the Cougars a 53-48 advantage.
Josh Huestis and Andy Brown both hit 3-pointers for Stanford to keep it close, as Washington State answered those buckets with interior scoring.
Chasson Randle put the Cardinal ahead when he made two free throws and then drove for a bucket with 5:08 remaining.
Dwight Powell delivered a put-back dunk and those plays served as the opening to the game-changing 14-0 run.
"The only way you can get on a run like that is to defend well," Dawkins said. "We were finally able to get some stops."
Stanford switched into a zone defense that allowed them to slow down Washington State. The Cardinal began controlling the glass and out-rebounded the Cougars 10-1 in the final seven minutes.
"We were just playing off each other's energy," said Powell, who had a solid all-around game with 16 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks. "We were trying to get as many stops as we could in a row."
Stanford shot 52.3 percent for the game and was 14 of 24 in the second half. The Cardinal was even better from three-point range, shooting 8 of 12 for the night.
"They made shots and we didn't," Washington State coach Ken Bone said. "Along with that, I thought our energy was a little bit deflated. When they did start making some shots, all of sudden they were up by 8, 10, 12 and I thought that hurt us emotionally."
Bright scored 18 of his season-high 21 points in the second half for Stanford. He and Powell both went 8 of 8 from the free-throw line. The Cardinal made its first 24 free throws before Brown missed a pair.
Stanford's other key was being able to slow down Motum in the first half, when the Cougars leading scorer had just eight points. He exploded for 21 in the second half and took the game over at times, but the Cardinal eventually corralled him during its run.

Ala.—Today, several changes in campaign finance law become effective under an
act passed by the Alabama legislature during its last regular session.
Act 2013-311 revised a number of older portions of the original Fair Campaign
Practices Act and created new sections to promote a fairer election process.
Some of the
changes that are now in place include:
* A filing threshold of
$1,000 for all candidates for office, from statewide offices to local races.
* A system of fines for
failure to timely or accurately file campaign finance reports.
* Clarifies PAC to PAC
transfer issues.
"This new
law not only creates stiffer penalties for those who violate it, but increases
transparency in our elections process," said Secretary of State Jim Bennett.
For an
overview of the election changes, please view the YouTube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r05E9J-Auc or view a PDF document here: http://www.sos.alabama.gov/downloads/election/fcpa/ElectionLawUpdate-ReferenceMaterialsOnFCPA-7-15-2013.pdf

My first post (for help), I've been loving ps3media server for some time and never had a video problem I couldn't overcome. I've encountered some files with a really strange FPS, avisynth/mencoder can play them, but the video is too fast.
I've found that I can successfully transcode & convert the FPS to 24fps using the following AVS command:
clip=DirectShowSource("C:\BD1\Downloads\Video\abc [avsmencoder]\abc15.wmv", fps=24, convertfps=true)
When I set the parameteres in the "transcoder settings" under the "avisynth/mencoder" section, and play file through the ps3media server, it works great, and I see the AVS file is created in my temp folder, exactly as I wanted.
But do I have to go into ps3mediaserver, under transcoder settings and manually set the AVS config for every single file I want to play?
I tried making an individual AVS file for each video, and putting them in the folder, but I can't see them or play them through the XMB interface.
Can I not pre-create the 25+ avs files for each video file, and just play those through the ps3media server?
let me know if my question is not clear, of if more info is needed. I searched for the info before posting, but I'm stumped.

VAIL - Vail, you're still a kid, or at least party like one.
Vail's 50th birthday party kicked off Saturday at the base of the new Vail Village gondola, a half century to the day after Vail cranked up North America's first gondola on Opening Day, Dec. 15, 1962.
Rod Slifer was there in 1962 and was on stage Saturday to help get the party started.
"Happy 50th birthday, Vail! Let's celebrate!" Slifer shouted to enthusiastic crowd, as fireworks erupted behind him.
• Little known fact: Bill Whiteford shot off Vail's first fireworks in 1962. Whiteford was one of Vail's originals and built bars and restaurants around town. He'd crank up his fireworks on New Years Eve, and pretty much any other time he felt like it, much to the chagrin of the local firefighters.
So much has changed in 50 years, but Vail still has it where it counts.
"It has snow, it has the terrain - Vail has it all," Slifer told Saturday's enthusiastic crowd.
Colorado's governors were on hand Opening Day 50 years ago and on Saturday. Gov. John Love helped open Vail in 1962. Gov. John Hickenlooper was in town Saturday.
"I'm honored to be part of one of the greatest resorts in the world, if not the greatest," the governor said.
The governor, one of the nation's original microbrewers (Denver's Wynkoop Brewery), would be interested to know that one of Vail's first private commercial enterprises to open 50 years ago was the liquor store.
The vision for Vail
By now, everyone knows the story of Earl Eaton and Pete Seibert, how Earl grew up in this valley and saw the mountain as a kid hunting with his dad and brothers. Eaton loved skiing. So did Seibert, and on March 19, 1957, Eaton led Seibert to the top.
Eaton had showed others, but Seibert caught the vision right away. Together they showed anyone suspected of owning anything remotely resembling investment income. Eaton and Seibert found the mountain. George Caulkins, Harley Higbie and Keith Brown found most of the money, $1.6 million. That's almost $8 million in today's dollars.
Vail was built in one summer, transforming a sheep and cattle ranch with North America's first gondola, two chairlifts, eight trails, the Vail Village Inn, The Lodge at Vail and a couple dozen homes.
• Little known fact: The night of Dec. 15, 1962, Vail's originals and several others gathered for a celebration in The Lodge at Vail. The paint was still wet on the walls.
By mid December, they had everything they needed except snow, so they brought in members of the Southern Ute tribe to perform a snow dance. Whether or not it was a publicity stunt remains a mystery, but it snowed, and on Dec. 15, 1962, the lifts started running.
Bobby Ruder was a kid, born in the valley in 1945. He still lives here and was in Vail for Saturday's celebration.
Ruder's Run is named for his dad, Bob Ruder Sr., who owned one of the only bulldozers around here and cleared most of Vail's original ski trails.
It was a great place to be a kid, and it still is, Bob Jr. said.
"How could you not like what was going on?" Ruder said. "This place was primitive. It went from outhouses to all this in a relatively short time."
• Little known fact: They'd take out the tree stumps and use them to fill crevasses and gulches to smooth out ski trails. Lodge Pole Gulch, for example, is exactly what it says. It used to be a ravine about 60 feet deep that Ruder Sr. filled with tree stumps when the trails were cut.
"The 10 or 15 years I spent growing up in Vail were great," Ruder said. "The people were wonderful, and there was always something interesting going on."
Slifer served as Vail's mayor for 16 years. Vail's current mayor, Andy Daly, talked a little about Jerry and Betty Ford, and what they meant in focusing the world's attention on Vail. Of course, not everything for Jerry went according to plan.
There was the time Jerry was lighting Vail's Christmas tree and the script called for him to sing "Silent Night." He turned to Daly and said, "I don't do silent night."
"So I did silent night," Daly said.
It was May 1, 1962, when Slifer turned his car off of U.S. Highway 6 and onto a dirt road that he wasn't sure led anywhere. It did. It led to the rest of his life - time well spent.
On Saturday night, Slifer and hundreds of others stood at the base of the new Vail Village gondola, on the spot where the first gondola in North America fired up exactly a half century earlier.
"Even with all that going for it, we'd never have guessed it would get this big," Slifer said, breaking into a huge grin.

Recently, a friend came to me with "the look." As the mom of a teenager, her face said what her words couldn't: "What happened to my child - what happened to me? I used to be smart; I used to be competent, and now I can't do anything right. I even breathe wrong. Just ask my kid."

WILMINGTON, N.C. – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team wrapped up its appearance in the Courtyard Marriott Wilmington Women's Soccer Invitational with a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Elon on Sunday. Keeper Audrey Baldwin had six saves in a losing effort for the Islanders (1-5-0).
Elon (4-1-1) saw three different players score in the victory, with Kate Murphy picking up the win in net.
"Today, we didn't get the result that we felt was possible," head coach Shanna Caldwell said. "Elon was a good team and capitalized on the mistakes we made.
"From here," she added, "we move forward. It's been a tough non-conference season and now it's done. We battled through the last six games and learned a lot about ourselves as a team and as individuals. We feel confident as a team moving to the next part of the season and starting conference play."
The game was scoreless for the majority of the first half, though the Phoenix held a strong advantage in shots in the frame. Baldwin had three early saves and Elon missed high or wide on a number of other opportunities to keep it 0-0 into the 39th minute.
But that's when Elon cracked the scoreboard thanks to the foot of Kendall Stanley. The senior saw her first attempt turned aside by Baldwin, but Stanley stuck with it, gathered the rebound and put it into the cage for her second goal of the season. The tally, at the 38:38 mark, put the Phoenix ahead 1-0.
The score remained that way into the second half, with neither team mounting much of an attack early in the frame. But shortly after Daniela Gonzalez was carded at the 57:39 mark, the Phoenix made it 2-0. Kelly Siewers sent a pass to Nicole Dennion on the left side, and Dennion was able to convert it for her team-best sixth goal of the season at 58:05.
Just over four minutes later, the Phoenix tacked on another score. The Islanders had mounted a solid attack in the 61st minute, with a blocked Alyssa Miller shot resulting in a corner taken by Aulona Velaj. In the 63rd, though, Elon made it 3-0, with Kimmie Krauss sending a cross to the left side, where Samantha Burch put it home at 62:26. It was Burch's first goal of the year. From there, the score remained, with the Phoenix clinching the victory.
Freshman Yvette Franco was named to the Invitational's all-tournament team for her efforts on the weekend. Franco scored a pair of goals in a 4-2 loss to UNC Wilmington on Friday night, giving her a team- and Southland-leading seven on the season.
The Islanders will return to the Coastal Bend for the program's first two Southland Conference matches over the weekend. Southeastern La. will come to Dugan Stadium for a Friday afternoon game at 4 p.m., while Nicholls State visits Corpus Christi on Sunday at 1. Tickets for both games can be purchased by calling the Islanders Athletics Ticket Office at 825-BALL (2255).
"The team is really excited to see the Blue Crew and all our faithful fans out next Friday when we take on SLU at The Jack," Caldwell said. "As our first home game since classes started, we're expecting a great atmosphere."

Orders for U.S. factory goods that signal business investment plans jumped in January by the most in more than a year, suggesting companies are confident about their business prospects. The Commerce Department said Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013, that orders for so-called core capital goods, which include industrial machinery, construction equipment and computers, rose 6.3 percent in January from December. A sharp fall in demand for commercial aircraft caused overall durable goods orders to drop 5.2 percent, the first decline since August. (AP Photo/John Raoux)

screening and diagnostic tests, cohort studies, cost-effectiveness
analyses, case-control studies, and surveys with high response rates.
Registered trials should include the registry and registration number.
Each manuscript should clearly state an objective or hypothesis; the
design and methods (including the study setting and dates, patients or
participants with inclusion and exclusion criteria, or data sources and
how these were selected for the study); the essential features of any
interventions; the main outcome measures; the main results of the
study; a comment section placing the results in context with the
published literature; and the conclusions. For more information, see
instructions for preparing structured abstracts on page 127.
Typical length: up to 3000 words (not including tables, figures, and
Systematic Reviews. Systematic,
critical assessments of literature and data sources
pertaining to clinical topics, emphasizing factors
such as cause, diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, or prevention. All
articles or data sources should be selected systematically for
inclusion and be critically evaluated, and the selection process should
be described in the paper. The specific type of study or analysis,
population, intervention, exposure, and tests or outcomes should be
described for each article or data source. Meta-analyses also will be
considered as reviews.1(pp528-529) For more
information, see instructions for preparing structured abstracts on
page 127. Typical length: up to 3000 words (not including tables,
figures, and references).
Clinical Reviews. These review
articles address a specific question or issue that is relevant for
clinical practice and provide an evidence-based, balanced,
patient-oriented review on a focused topic. Clinical reviews should
include the clinical question or issue and its importance for general
medical practice, specialty practice, or public health; description of
how the relevant evidence was identified, assessed for quality, and
selected for inclusion; synthesis of the available evidence such that
the best-quality evidence (eg, well-conducted clinical trials,
meta-analyses, and prospective cohort studies) should receive the
greatest emphasis; and discussion of controversial aspects and
unresolved issues. Maximum length: 3000 words of text, with no more
than a total of 4 tables and/or figures, and no more than 50
references. Authors interested in submitting a Clinical Review
manuscript should contact the editorial office prior to manuscript
preparation and submission.

reports of original studies or evaluations or unique, first-time
reports of clinical case series. Typical length: 750-1200 words (not
including tables, figures, and references).
Letters to the Editor. Letters
discussing a recent JAMA article will have the best chance of
acceptance if they are received within 4 weeks of the article's
publication. Such letters should not exceed 400 words of text and 5
references. Research Letters reporting original research also are
welcome and should not exceed 600 words of text and 6 references and
may include a table or figure. Letters should be double-spaced and a
word count should be provided with each letter. We prefer that letters

All reports of original data, systematic reviews and
meta-analyses, and clinical reviews should be submitted with structured
abstracts as described below. No information should be reported in the
abstract that does not appear in the text of the manuscript. The
following is adapted from "More informative abstracts
Reports of original data should include
an abstract of no more than 300 words using the following headings:
Context, Objective, Design, Setting, Patients (or Participants),
Interventions (include only if there are any), Main Outcome Measure(s),
Results, and Conclusions. For brevity, parts of the abstract may be
written as phrases rather than complete sentences. Each section should
include the following content:
1. Context. The abstract should
begin with a sentence or 2 explaining the clinical (or other)
importance of the study question.
2. Objective. State the
precise objective or study question addressed in the report (eg, "To
determine whether . . ."). If more than 1 objective
is addressed, the main objective should be indicated and only key
secondary objectives stated. If an a priori hypothesis was tested, it
should be stated.
3. Design. Describe the basic
design of the study. State the years of the study and the duration of
follow-up. If applicable, include the name of the study (eg, the
Framingham Heart Study).
4. Setting. Describe the study
setting to assist readers to determine the applicability of the report
to other circumstances, for example, general community, a primary care
or referral center, private or institutional practice, or ambulatory or
hospitalized care.
5. Patients or Other Participants.
State the clinical disorders, important eligibility
criteria, and key sociodemographic features of patients. The numbers of
participants and how they were selected should be provided (see below),
including the number of otherwise eligible individuals who were
approached but refused. If matching is used for comparison groups,
characteristics that are matched should be specified. In follow-up
studies, the proportion of participants who completed the study must be
indicated. In intervention studies, the number of patients withdrawn
because of adverse effects should be given. For selection procedures,
these terms should be used, if appropriate: random sample (where random
refers to a formal, randomized selection in which all eligible
individuals have a fixed and usually equal chance of selection);
population-based sample; referred sample; consecutive sample; volunteer
sample; convenience sample.
6. Intervention(s). The
essential features of any interventions should be described, including
their method and duration of administration. The intervention should be
named by its most common clinical name, and nonproprietary drug names
should be used.
7. Main Outcome Measure(s).
Indicate the primary study outcome measurement(s)
as planned before data collection began. If the manuscript does not
report the main planned outcomes of a study, this fact should be stated
and the reason indicated. State clearly if the hypothesis being tested
was formulated during or after data collection.
8. Results. The main outcomes
of the study should be provided and quantified, including confidence
intervals (for example, 95%) or P values. For comparative
studies, confidence intervals should relate to the differences between
groups. Explain measurements unfamiliar to a general medical
readership. Important measurements not presented in results should be
declared. As relevant, indicate whether observers were blinded to
patient groupings, particularly for subjective measurements. If
differences for the major study outcome measure(s) are not significant,
the clinically important difference sought should be stated and the
confidence interval for the difference between the groups should be
given. When risk changes or effect sizes are given, absolute values
should be indicated. Approaches such as number needed to treat to
achieve a unit of benefit are encouraged when appropriate; reporting of
relative differences alone is insufficient. Studies of screening and
diagnostic tests should report sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood
ratio. If predictive value or accuracy is given, prevalence or pretest
likelihood should be given as well. All randomized controlled trials
should include the results of intention-to-treat analysis, and all
surveys should include response rates.
9. Conclusions. Provide
only conclusions of the study directly supported by the results, along
with implications for clinical practice, avoiding speculation and
overgeneralization. Indicate whether additional study is required
before the information should be used in usual clinical settings. Give
equal emphasis to positive and negative findings of equal scientific
Manuscripts reporting the results of
meta-analyses should include an abstract of no more than 300 words
using the following headings: Context, Objective, Data Sources, Study
Selection, Data Extraction, Data Synthesis, and Conclusions. The text
of the manuscript should also include a section describing the methods
used for data sources, study selection, data extraction, and data
synthesis. Each heading should be followed by a brief description:
1. Context. A sentence or 2
explaining the importance of the review question.
2. Objective. State the
precise primary objective of the review. Indicate whether the review
emphasizes factors such as cause, diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, or
prevention and include information about the specific population,
intervention, exposure, and tests or outcomes that are being reviewed.
3. Data Sources.
Succinctly summarize data sources, including years
searched. Potential sources include computerized databases and
published indexes, registries, abstract booklets, conference
proceedings, references identified from bibliographies of pertinent
articles and books, experts or research institutions active in the
field, and companies or manufacturers of tests or agents being
reviewed. If a bibliographic database is used, state the exact indexing
terms used for article retrieval, including any constraints (for
example, English language or human subjects). If abstract space does
not permit this level of detail, summarize sources in the abstract
including databases and years searched, and place the remainder of the
information in the Methods section.
4. Study Selection. Describe
inclusion and exclusion criteria used to select studies for detailed
review from among studies identified as relevant to the topic. Details
of selection should include particular populations, interventions,
outcomes, or methodological designs. The method used to apply these
criteria should be specified (for example, blinded review, consensus,
multiple reviewers). State the proportion of initially identified
studies that met selection
5. Data Extraction.
Describe guidelines used for abstracting data and assessing data
quality and validity (such as criteria for causal inference). The
method by which the guidelines were applied should be stated (for
example, independent extraction by multiple observers).
6. Data Synthesis. State the
main results of the review, whether qualitative or quantitative, and
outline the methods used to obtain these results. Meta-analyses should
state the major outcomes that were pooled and include odds ratios or
effect sizes and, if possible, sensitivity analyses. Numerical results
should be accompanied by confidence intervals, if applicable, and exact
levels of statistical significance. Evaluations of screening and
diagnostic tests should include sensitivity, specificity, likelihood
ratios, receiver operating characteristic curves, and predictive
values. Assessments of prognosis should summarize survival
characteristics and related variables. Major identified sources of
variation between studies should be stated, including differences in
treatment protocols, co-interventions, confounders, outcome measures,
length of follow-up, and dropout rates.
7. Conclusions. The conclusions
and their applications (clinical or otherwise) should be clearly
stated, limiting interpretation to the domain of the review.
Clinical Review articles should include an abstract of
no more than 250 words with the following sections: Context, Evidence
Acquisition, Evidence Synthesis, and Conclusions.
Context. Include 1 or 2
sentences describing the clinical question or issue and its importance
in clinical practice or public heath.
Evidence Acquisition. Describe
the data sources used, including the search strategies, years searched,
and other sources of material, such as subsequent reference searches of
retreived articles. Methods used for quality assessment and inclusion
of identified articles should be explained.
Evidence Synthesis. The major
findings of the review of the clinical issue or topic should be
addressed in an evidence-based, objective, and balanced fashion, with
the highest quality evidence available receiving the greatest emphasis.
Conclusions. The conclusions
should clearly answer the questions posed if applicable, be based on
available evidence, and emphasize how clinicians should apply current
Manuscripts reporting the results of randomized trials should
include the CONSORT flow diagram showing the progress of patients
throughout the trial (see Figure 1). The
CONSORT checklist (see Table 1)
also should be completed and submitted with the manuscript.9
Authors of reports of diagnostic tests are encouraged to
submit the STARD flow diagram

9 dog breeds that are "Made in the USA" includes New Hampshire's Chinook
This rare breed of sled dog got his start when musher Arthur Treadwell Walden of Wonalancet, New Hampshire, bred a farm dog of unknown heritage with a "northern" husky, producing a litter of puppies with tawny coats. One of those pups was named Chinook, and he accompanied Admiral Richard Byrd (and 15 other Chinooks) on a 1927 expedition to Antarctica.

Rick Bragg to speak at Alpine Living event
Published: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 2:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 2:30 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Pulitzer Prize-winning author Rick Bragg will speak at 7:30 p.m. March 6 in Room 205 of Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library on the University of Alabama campus.
Tickets are $8 for students and faculty and $12 for the general public. Bragg's speech will be hosted by Alpine Living, a UA student-led international travel magazine.
Alan Alexander, a UA junior who is managing editor of the magazine, said Bragg's background as a journalist made him an ideal choice for the fundraiser.
"He's a great storyteller, and we expect he'll draw a big crowd," Alexander said.
Bragg teaches magazine and feature writing at UA.
On March 16, 22 UA graduate and undergraduate students will travel to Spain for two weeks as part of an international journalism course. In Barcelona, Madrid, Pamplona and Seville, the students will report stories about the culture of each region. The results will be published in Alpine Living magazine and online at www.alpineliving.ua.edu.
All proceeds from Bragg's speech will go toward the printing of the magazine.
Bragg was a correspondent for The New York Times and a reporter and bureau chief at the St. Petersburg Times. He also worked as a reporter for The Birmingham News and The Anniston Star.
He is the author of several books, including "Ava's Man," "I Am A Soldier Too," "The Prince of Frogtown," "The Most They Ever Had" and "All Over But the Shoutin'."
Bragg won the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing in 1996, the American Society of Newspaper Editors Distinguished Writing Award in both 1991 and 1996, the Clarence Cason Award for nonfiction writing from the University of Alabama College of Communication and Information Sciences in 2004 and the Harper Lee Award as the distinguished writer of the year at the Alabama Writers' Forum in 2009.

John and Kira first sourced their honey from Trickett Honey & Beekeeping, a West Philadelphia company. Trickett keeps a few colonies of bees in the city at community gardens to provide pollination services while most of his hives are located in the Valley Forge area. Since Trickett Honey is such a small company, it is difficult for them to supply all the honey that we need for our chocolates. When we need more honey than they can supply, we call Draper Apiaries. The Draper family started their aviary in 1974 with one hive. Today, Bernie's son, Bill, and grandson Royal have increased bee-hive colony numbers to around 1,000-producing annually from 60,000 to 110,000 pounds of honey. Their claim to fame is that they are the suppliers of honey to the White House. The Draper Family is active in their local community. They sponser a drug awareness program and also help to promote tourism in rural Tioga County, PA.

Knicks Won't Let Go of the Ball
Among the many reasons for the Knicks' remarkable 8-1 start, the most important may be that the team simply doesn't turn the ball over often. New York's turnovers are so rare, the team is on pace for the lowest turnover rate since the NBA began keeping the stats necessary to track it.
The Knicks have turned the ball over on just 10.1% of possessions. The next-best team, Toronto, has a turnover percentage of 12.1% and the league average is 14.1%. The NBA record, 10.9%, is shared by two teams — Dallas a decade ago and Philadelphia last year (records of turnover percentage go back to 1977-78). New York's historic hoarding of the ball is particularly impressive because last year's team had a turnover percentage of 14.9%, fourth-worst in the NBA. That's nearly five more times per 100 possessions — or more than four more possessions per game — in which the Knicks have a chance to shoot the ball and score, rather than switching to defense without getting off a shot.
Partly the Knicks' improvement in this area is a function of the club's offseason moves in the backcourt. Baron Davis is injured and off the roster (though rehabbing with the team), while Jeremy Lin is a Houston Rocket. Both have many virtues as players, but protecting the ball last season wasn't one of them. Lin's turnover percentage last year was 21.4%, while Davis's was a career-high 28.1%. In their place are Jason Kidd and Raymond Felton, who are adept at protecting possession. Kidd has 11 seasons with at least 1,700 minutes played, an assist percentage of at least 30% and a turnover percentage below 20%. That's the second-highest number of such seasons in the NBA's history of keeping turnover stats. Felton has six such seasons. Steve Nash has had five in his career. John Stockton had four.
But there also has been some particular jelling of the Knicks roster than has manifested itself in nearly every regular improving on last year's turnover rate. Felton and Kidd are playing at career-low turnover percentages. So are returning Knicks Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and J.R. Smith, as well as new Knick Ronnie Brewer. Meanwhile Steve Novak and Rasheed Wallace each are turning the ball over at a rate below last year's. That's six career-low turnover rates and two below last year's, among the eight Knicks with the most minutes this season.
Preventing turnovers by itself doesn't guarantee success. Nash and Stockton played for plenty of winning teams. And among the 40 teams with the lowest turnover percentage over a season, six had losing records — including, this season, the 3-8 Raptors and 4-7 Suns. The presence of three teams this year among the 40 shows how small sample sizes can skew things: The Knicks are unlikely to maintain both their low turnover rate and their winning pace. But so far, at least, keeping the ball has been a major reason for their major success.

An Information Junkie's Guide to Shutting Out the World Cup
The World Cup is upon us again. Please, make it stop.
For millions upon millions of us — billions? — this is a time for great celebration, to don our nations' colors, to dust off that vuvuzela, to concoct a new chant that may or may not be based on a White Stripes song. A whole month (A whole month? Oy …) of glory and madness awaits! We even have a special online section set up for you here at The Wall Street Journal, courtesy of our sports team. But for a relative few of us, particularly "Ugly Americans" such as myself, it's time to grin and bear it.
Now, we don't begrudge the world its fun and triumph because, lord knows, we Americans know a thing or two about producing over-indulgent pomp, circumstance and spectacle. (The Super Bowl, anyone? Blockbuster director Michael Bay's career?) And if you want to get worked up about a sport whose 90-minute matches feature more flops than Ryan Reynolds' filmography, that's your prerogative. But it's just that so many American soccer fans, particularly the most vocal ones, come off as a bit, er, phony. As WSJ reporter Jonathan Clegg, who also covers the National Football League, wrote recently:
Never mind that no other sport is so linked to the working class. For these fans, rooting for an English soccer team is a highbrow pursuit and a mark of sophistication, like going to a Wes Anderson movie or owning a New Yorker subscription.
The most gifted and patient among us can simply pay all of this no mind. But some of us, like yours truly, are hooked on information. We can't let go of our Twitter feeds or our constant news updates. Yet, the World Cup is already starting to invade our personal cyberspace and our overactive minds, social media filters be damned. Say goodbye to the soccer-free space that was once your Facebook wall.
Fret not, though, friends. Speakeasy is here to help. Here are five fun ways to keep your minds occupied and safe from that World Cup racket for the next month:
Read Thomas Pynchon. Trust me, if you want to use up all the "bandwidth" in your mind with a steady, confounding, exhilarating flow of information, there's always Pynchon. Give "Gravity's Rainbow" a shot. It might take you a couple times to make it through the World War II-set phantasmagoria of paranoia, arcane symbolism, scatological humor, bananas, puns awful and sublime, rocketry, and sex, but it's worth it. And fun! You might as well pick up Steven C. Weisenberger's "A Gravity's Rainbow Companion, too. It's a page-by-page breakdown of all the references in the National Book Award-winning novel. It might drag it out a bit, but you do have a whole month. If you don't have the patience for it, though, there's "Inherent Vice," the closest thing to a "beach read" Pynchon has written. It's sort of like "The Big Lebowski" by way of Raymond Chandler and Mad Magazine, and it's being adapted by "There Will Be Blood" director Paul Thomas Anderson into a feature film starring Joaquin Phoenix. The movie is due for release this winter, so brush up!
Watch "Veronica Mars." Speaking of rich and involving detective stories set in Southern California, isn't it time you finally caught up with Kristen Bell's teenage sleuth? It's not as dense as Pynchon or some of the other great dramas that have come to define this so-called Golden Age of Television, at least not on the surface, but it'll hook you with some surprisingly sophisticated and hard-boiled themes and plotting. "Nancy Drew" this ain't. Plus, there's a movie that takes place years after the show's run ended. Remember the hype about its Kickstarter page that got fans to donate millions of bucks to make it happen? Well, it happened, and it was pretty much made for the fans. After watching the three seasons of "Veronica Mars," you'll be a fan, too.
Watch "Twin Peaks." All right, so three seasons and a movie of "Veronica Mars" probably won't be enough to keep you fully engaged for the whole month, so why not give another short-lived mystery series a shot? David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" only ran two seasons, and also had a tie-in movie ("Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me"), but it broke ground in the way it carried its main narrative objective — solving the mystery of who killed Laura Palmer in the titular small northwestern U.S. town — from episode to episode. Lynch, a master of aesthetically pleasing weirdness, also brought a cinematic flair to TV that would help set the standard for what would become the medium's latest Golden Age. Fans of information-packed TV oddities such as "Lost," "True Detective" and "Hannibal" will find plenty to dig into here, as well. (As a matter of fact, you should use this World Cup month to get into the criminally underwatched "Hannibal," too!)
Read "A Song of Ice and Fire." Many of you have probably read all or at least some of George R.R. Martin's still-incomplete series of novels, which provides the source material for HBO's "Game of Thrones." If you haven't, here's your best chance to dig deep into the five books (there could be as many as three more on the way!), each of which are hundreds of pages long, with even more characters, incident and nuance than you've seen in the TV series. You'll be distracted from any World Cup noise by simply trying to remember who's related to whom in Martin's fantastical labyrinth of politics, violence, sex and dragons. If you have read them, why not read them again, especially if you're also watching the show? It'll help you keep better tabs on what's going on in both versions of Westeros and beyond.
Watch "Cosmos." This is a piece of advice I need to heed myself. I've seen neither Carl Sagan's nor Neil deGrasse Tyson's versions of the "spacetime odyssey," which are intended to teach us — with sumptuous visuals and engaging, relatable narration — about the most information-rich thing there is, the universe. (Check out Speakeasy's recent Q&A with Tyson, if you get a chance.)
It's so easy to make big problems out of little things, so hopefully "Cosmos" will serve as a reminder that it's not worth getting that worked up over a silly soccer tournament … or that an interminable month of soccer fanatics' blathering is not even a blip on the face of eternity. What better way to occupy your mind by pondering the vastness of existence itself?
Soccer haters, tell us how you're going to weather the World Cup storm in the comments, or write to @Michael_Calia on Twitter or at firstname.lastname@example.com. Soccer lovers should also feel free to give Michael a piece of their mind.

News 12 6 o'clock / Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- It's a new way to deal with crime that gets everybody involved. Instead of keeping violent offenders locked up, the community helps them become productive members of society. The city of Aiken and community members came together at a seminar on Sunday morning to figure out a way to stop the violence.
"People need to get more involved in their own lives and stop looking for law enforcement to changes the situation of their communities," said Christopher Garris, a former gang member.
Garris says he knows that the police aren't the only answer to making neighborhoods safe.
"The sheriff, the chief and law enforcement, as they said, aren't going to arrest their way out of this problem," Garris said.
And the city of Aiken knows that. The municipality recently started its own scared-straight program The program was started in High Point, N.C. It helped the city to reduce violence by 57 percent. Officers hope it does the same for Aiken.
On Thursday, Aiken's violent offenders faced a panel of local law enforcement for the first time.
"It's not just about crime in the City of Aiken," said the sheriff Thursday night.
It's also about community involvement. That's why people filled the gym at the Smith Hazel Recreation Center. Neighbors came together to see how they can help police reduce the violence. The seminar lasted for a couple of hours. HOAs, churches, business owners and neighbors were all discussing ways to keep the community safe, and while the program is new to this community, Garris says don't blame the police if your community isn't safe.
"Law enforcement is only there a part of the time, you live in your community 24 hours a day," Garris said.

HOYLAKE, England -- It is difficult to ask a 25-year-old in any profession, be he athlete or accountant, to accurately project a career path over the next two decades. There is so much to learn, so many decisions to make, so many directions to travel.
And yet that is what Rory McIlroy left us Sunday after his wire-to-wire win here. The particulars of his British Open victory are that he shot a final-round 71 at Royal Liverpool, that he finished at 17-under 271, that he beat Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler by two strokes and took his third major championship. The Grand Slam? Only the Masters awaits.
"I never dreamed of being at this point in my career so quickly," McIlroy said.
Yet he is. So the questions now fall off the tongue. What next? How many? A Rory Era? They are worth asking because golf's one-name stars -- Tiger and Phil -- are 38 and 44, respectively, with more good golf in their past than their futures. McIlroy has, say, 15 more years in his rock-solid prime.
"Golf is looking for someone to put their hand up and try," McIlroy said. —... I want to be that person. I want to be the guy that goes on and wins majors and wins majors regularly, wins tournaments. I'd love to be in that position."
So consider the position in which he stands right now. When Jack Nicklaus won the third leg of the career Grand Slam -- the PGA Championship in 1963 -- he was all of 23. When Tiger Woods won the 2000 U.S. Open for his third leg, he was 24, and he became the youngest winner of all four majors (in the Masters era) later that summer, when he claimed his first British Open. Nicklaus didn't complete his slam until he was 26. McIlroy's first chance will come in April at Augusta National, when he will still be 25.
"I don't see any reason why he's not going to win there," said Fowler, also 25, who has played with McIlroy at the Masters. "Definitely fits his game. ... It's just a matter of time."
And let's be clear about the exclusiveness of the group that has won all four. It does not include Arnold Palmer or Tom Watson, both short the PGA. It does not include Sam Snead, who never won the U.S. Open. Lee Trevino, Walter Hagen, Phil Mickelson -- all one leg short.
So the list is five long: Nicklaus, Woods, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Gene Sarazen.
"I'm looking forward to next April and driving down Magnolia Lane," McIlroy said, "and trying to complete the career Grand Slam."
He has but one top-10 finish in six trips to the Masters, but he did lead after each of the first three rounds in 2011. Should he win there, then what?
"We used to say there will never be another Nicklaus," Mickelson said. "And then along came Tiger. You never want to discount the possibility of someone coming along and dominating."
To be clear, McIlroy has not yet dominated. His first major, the U.S. Open at Congressional in 2011, portended great things, but he didn't post another top-10 finish at a major until he won the 2012 PGA Championship at Kiawah. His 2013 was nearly a complete wash-out.
He got engaged to tennis player Caroline Wozniacki over New Year's, then broke off the engagement two months ago. That very week, he won the BMW PGA Championship on the European Tour. His frame of mind seemed to change.
"I've really found my passion again for golf," McIlroy said. "Not that it ever dwindled, but it's what I think about when I get up in the morning. It's what I think about when I go to bed."
Still, he had to deal with whatever presented itself Sunday, when he woke with a six-shot lead.
He wavered slightly Sunday, with a "bad bogey" at the par-5 fifth, then another at the sixth. When Garcia, playing a group ahead of McIlroy and Fowler, rolled in an eagle putt at 10, he was within two shots. But McIlroy's advantage was always there. The tournament never felt in doubt.
"When you know that you can't make mistakes," Garcia said, "it's hard."
When McIlroy birdied the par-5 16th, it was basically over, and the last two holes became a coronation. When he tapped in for par at 18, he threw the ball into the stands, hugged caddie J.P. Fitzgerald, then Fowler. He then waved his mother, Rosie, onto the green and embraced her as she sobbed.
What next? Fill up the claret jug with red wine and goodness knows what else to celebrate. McIlroy is 25, the golfing world at his feet, his future apparently limitless.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's getting a li'l hungry for some Italian food, specifically spaghetti for some reason.
Maybe it's due to this press release from the good ol' fellas over at the Knights of Columbus Council #14045. They write thusly: "The Knights of Columbus Council #14045 held its first spaghetti dinner at the new Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church hall over in Silverthorne on Saturday, Jan. 19. Almost 70 people enjoyed a meal consisting of spaghetti with marinara sauce and meatballs, garlic bread, salad, drinks and dessert. The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic, men's charitable organization with members in both St. Mary's in Breckenridge and Our Lady of Peace in Silverthorne. Funds raised by various events support numerous organizations throughout Summit County, including Domus Pacis Family Respite, the Rotary Club community dinner, Women's Resource Center of the Rockies, Wounded Warriors/BOEC, FIRC, Coats for Kids campaign and many others."
The Knights would like to welcome the community to their next spaghetti shindig. It's scheduled for Feb.16 after the 5 p.m. Mass at Our Lady of Peace. Serving will start at around 6. The cost is only $10 for adults, $5 for children age 6-12, children under 6 are free.
You heard it here first. Happy Hump Day.

NEWARK -- Amazon.com might soon open a warehouse in Newark, according to a job listing the e-commerce titan has posted on its website.
The Amazon.com job listing posted May 5 describes a part-time "fulfillment associate" who can work "with and around mechanical parts ... in a fulfillment center" in Newark.
The centers are distribution warehouses for storing, packing and sending products sold through the online Amazon.com network.
City leaders interviewed Wednesday said they could not confirm whether Amazon was coming to town but said an unnamed Internet company had signed a lease agreement with Newark's Cherry Logistics Center, a 574,650-square-foot warehouse. The warehouse would be Amazon's first Bay Area distribution center.
"If they are leasing 575,000 square feet, that means 200-plus jobs, which would have a positive domino effect on the city," Newark Mayor Alan Nagy said. "Workers start to eat at restaurants and gas their cars near the job, and they start to see Newark as a place where they might live. Those are positive effects that come when a company like that moves into town."
Nagy said the city's unemployment rate has dropped to 6.2 percent -- a shade better than the national rate -- and likely will improve when Amazon sets up shop. "This continues the strengthening of our economy, which has finally gotten us out of the shadows of the recession in many areas," Nagy said.
However, the distribution center would not directly boost Newark's tax revenue, city leaders said, as Amazon.com's sales taxes don't go directly to cities because it's difficult to determine an online purchase's exact point of sale.
"The point of sale is a point of contention for online sales," said assistant city manager Terrence Grindall. "Amazon.com's tax money goes into the state tax pool, which is then divided per capita by all cities." The warehouse at 38811 Cherry St. is in an industrial zone near Mowry Avenue and Interstate 880. Its website promotes its central location, saying it stands 25 miles south of the Port of Oakland and "within the growing population center of the Bay Area."
Amazon.com's media office did not respond to a request for comment.
Jeff Starkovich, an executive at Cassidy Turley, the logistics center's listed broker, declined to comment.

STOCKTON – After buying a box of bandages at a business in the 1000 block of North Wilson Way around 7:50 p.m. Wednesday, a customer pulled up his shirt to expose the handle of a handgun before demanding money from the cash register, police reported.
The clerk complied and the suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, jumping over a wall to the west.
Police described the man as white, between 27 and 30 years old, 5 feet 9 inches and 170 pounds with facial acne, a mustache and goatee. He was last seen wearing a baseball cap, gray hooded sweatshirt over a red shirt and light-blue baggy jeans.
