Children with dwarfism are very far below average height for their age. They may not have full motion in their joints and they sometimes have bowlegs or knock-knees.
Children usually come to us after their parents or doctors notice:
When you come to our clinic, we ask about your child's growth history. We also ask about the height of members of your child's family, and how the mother's pregnancy progressed.
We will want to know about any medical conditions your child has, and any similar problems in the rest of your family.
Next, we examine your child. We measure their height and the length of their arms and legs. We take X-rays of their arms, legs, pelvis, spine and skull. This is called a skeletal survey. It helps us find out which bones may not be growing the way they usually do in children.
We may also take blood samples from your child so that we can test for levels of hormones and other chemicals that can help us understand how your child is growing.
Because children may have other conditions that come along with bone dysplasias, we may ask your child to have an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan or a CT (computed tomography) scan to check for other problems.
Often children with dysplasias have difficulty breathing at night (sleep apnea), and so we may ask them to have a sleep study.
Sometimes, pregnant women have ultrasound tests that raise concerns about the growth of the baby in their womb. In these cases, we take specific ultrasound images that can help identify bone dysplasias before birth.

Two-lined chestnut borer
Oaks weakened by drought, defoliation, or wounding are targets for the two-lined chestnut borer, Agrilus bilineatus. After chewing their way through the bark, adult beetles lay eggs which hatch into very slender, flattened white larvae that have two spines at the end of their abdomens. As these larvae feed and tunnel through the live tissues of the inner bark and outer sapwood they girdle infested branches and trunks. Leaves wilt, turn a uniform brown, and usually remain attached for several weeks before dropping. Scattered oaks in Itasca, Aitkin, Crow Wing, Morrison and Mille Lacs Counties were killed in June and July. Many more oaks just have a dead branch or two. To prevent further damage, water the oaks affected by drought, if possible. Trim off the dead and dying branches his summer or fall then pile and tarp the wood for one year. Otherwise, dispose/ burn it before next spring.

It's a promise that the Lansing School District is longing to keep.
"We're very excited about the announcement that we're going to be making Monday night, which is, we are applying to become one of the first 10, under this law, the first 10 "Promise Zones" in Michigan, that would provide two years of free Community College education for every student in Lansing," said Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero.
And the Lansing School District has hit the ground running to submit Lansing's application to be a part of the promise.
"We're already out of the gate on this, I have directed the Superintendent and the board has been informed that he has made the applications, he has submitted the paperwork , we've been advised that we are the first district to have gotten this far in the process," said Lansing School Board President Hugh Clarke, Jr.
The legislation is likened to the Kalamazoo Promise signed in November 2005, and has since garnered increased high school graduation rates and college going rates.
"We've grown by 1500 children so that certainly helped the school district out from the perspective of our revenue base, its become a big magnet for the school district, a tremendous magnet, because they heard about "the promise," and they thought it was such a neat program and such a wonderful opportunity for their children," said Dr. Michael F. Rice, Superintendent of Kalamazoo Public Schools.
"Their school district is in demand, people are moving to Kalamazoo, Why? Because they know if they stay in Kalamazoo, their kids get a college education," Bernero said.
An education Lansing is waiting first in line to promise its residents.
"We are willing to do whatever it takes to help our kids learn and succeed post K-12, so this is just one other step that we are certainly proud to be a part of," Clarke said.
The Lansing School District will hold a public hearing February 12 to provide more information about the "Promise Zone" legislation and how the community can support it.

We'd Like to Say: Capital Punishment Is Not the Answer
By John and Lauren McBride
Two writers from Terre Haute, Indiana,
where Timothy McVeigh was executed, speak out against the
death penalty, an issue that divides their town and our country.
Standing at the Crossroads
Crusaders for Life
'Moving Through the Pain'
A City Divided
Waiting for the Wave of Truth
For Whom the Bell Tolls
It's daybreak near the banks of the Wabash River, June
11, 2001. Outside of the United States Penitentiary, Terre
Haute, Indiana, 300 protesters maintain a 168-minute silent
vigil to protest the death penalty and to memorialize the
victims of the Oklahoma City bombing. Five hundred yards
away, about 100 peoplesome favoring capital punishment,
others just curiousare equally silent and caught up
in the drama of the moment.
Overlooking the scene from their canopied platforms, 1,400
members of the worldwide media await the news that, in the
first federal execution since 1963, 33-year-old Timothy
James McVeigh has been put to death. Overhead, about the
time that McVeigh is being hooked up to the injection equipment
that will take his life, a dark cloud descends over the
penitentiary grounds and begins to rain upon spectators,
protesters and media alike.
A few weeks earlier, on the evening of May 16the
date originally scheduled for the executiona brutal
thunderstorm tore through the area, demolishing thousands
of dollars worth of trailers, platforms and equipment erected
by the media for that event.
Eight days after Timothy McVeigh is killed, on June 19,
the day Juan Raul Garza becomes the second person executed
by the federal government in 38 years, more severe storms
will roll through the area. Some might call these weather
patterns omens, or even judgments of God. More than likely,
they are just facets of the season here on the edge of "Tornado
But they are certainly an appropriate symbol of the storm
of controversy and media attention which has come to our
small city as a result of the federal government's decision
to resume executions here.
Standing at the Crossroads
Terre Haute, the county seat of Vigo County, is a community
of approximately 53,000, located along the Wabash River
in west central Indiana. Until this year, it had rarely
gained national attention except as the home of Larry Bird,
Eugene V. Debs and the original Coca-Cola bottle. The residents
are mostly pleasant and easygoing; the setting, among rolling
hills, old-growth forest and extensive family farms, is
peaceful and pastoral.
Even though Terre Haute has been referred to as the "Crossroads
of America," because it lies at the junction of national
east-west and north-south highways, none of us who live
here were prepared for it to become the national stage for
the debate over capital punishment. After all, the last
execution here before 2001 was a public hanging 130 years
One person with ties to this Wabash Valley community, however,
is perhaps the country's foremost authority on this controversy.
Sister Helen Prejean, C.S.J., is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee,
author of Dead Man Walking and head of the Moratorium
Campaigna nondenominational effort to halt executions
throughout the country pending review of the way capital
punishment is applied.
Sister Helen began the journey which led to her 19-year
ministry to Death Row inmates, and the families of their
victims, at St. Mary of the Woods College, operated by the
Sisters of Providence on a beautiful wooded campus just
outside of Terre Haute. In an "act of Providence," on May
5, 2001, she returned to St. Mary's to receive an honorary
doctor of letters degree and to give the commencement address.
This Sister of St. Joseph observes that the popularity
of the death penalty is waning when the option of life imprisonment
without parole is offered by pollsters; that a recent poll
shows 72 percent of Americans favor a moratorium on executions;
and that more than half the survivors and families of victims
of the Oklahoma City bombing, following the example of Bud
Welch, whose daughter perished in the explosion, ceased
to support the execution of Timothy McVeigh.
This trend is seldom reported in the media even after Sister
Helen's press conference here, and after only 300 of the
available 1,000 seats for the closed-circuit TV broadcast
of the execution were filled. Quoting attorney Barry Scheck,
she says, "The death penalty is imploding under its own
weight." The main reason for this, she thinks, is "that
it has always been unfair."
Sister Helen argues the death penalty is not a deterrent
to capital crimes (even U.S. Justice Department surveys
show no correlation between executions and a reduction in
violent offenses). It is more expensive than life in prison
(an average of $500,000 to try, convict and incarcerate
a person for life while it costs $3.8 million to convict
and execute a personMcVeigh's defense cost the taxpayers
$13.8 million!). Most importantly, it is irreversible.
Ninety-five innocent people have recently been released
from Death Row, mostly, she believes, because they were
victims of "prosecutorial misconduct"; and many innocent
persons have been executed. She compares many prosecutors
with the Denver Broncos, bent on winning at any cost: "The
truth is sacrificed; justice is sacrificed."
As Catholics, we believe in the sanctity of all
life. In Matthew 25, Jesus, himself a victim of capital
punishment, teaches that what we do to one of his "least
brothers," we do to himwhich certainly should give
us pause when we contemplate an execution. Sister Helen
reminds us that he taught us "not to return hate with hate,
violence with violence." She urges us to "reflect on what
capital punishment is doing to us as a society," and to
participate in the Moratorium Campaign.
Crusaders for Life
The Catholic Church is in the vanguard of the opposition
to capital punishment. The U.S. Catholic bishops urge all
Catholics to "join organizations that work to curtail the
death penalty...and those that call for its abolition" (Responsibility,
Rehabilitation, and Restoration, U.S. Catholic Conference,
Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein of the Indianapolis Archdiocese
(which includes Terre Haute) wrote at the time of Timothy
McVeigh's execution that the death penalty "feeds a frenzy
for revenge...[which] neither liberates the families of
victims nor ennobles the victims of crime. Only forgiveness
Pope John Paul II, speaking in St. Louis in 1999 (where
he successfully lobbied for clemency for a Missouri Death
Row inmate; a similar request in 2001 for clemency for McVeigh
was denied by President Bush), called for a "consensus to
end the death penalty, which is both cruel and unnecessary."
Catholics in Terre Haute have been equally outspoken on
the subject. The Sisters of Providence, who led the silent
vigil at both executions, have been actively promoting the
Moratorium Campaign and the Declaration of Life, a legal
document which anyone may sign and which states that, should
the signatory be a victim of capital crime, all steps should
be taken to ensure that the perpetrator is not executed.
Sister Joan Slobig, a member of the General Council of
the Sisters of Providence, speaks of the Sisters' long-term
involvement with prison ministry in the Wabash Valley. They
continue efforts to abolish the death penalty through their
Web site, local interfaith meetings, demonstrations and
vigils and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious.
And they offer hospitality at St. Mary of the Woods to families
of both victims and Death Row inmates.
Sister Rita Clare Gerardot has been ministering to Death
Row inmates at the Terre Haute federal prison since early
2000 (including David Paul Hammer, who will likely be the
next person put to death here). She has been speaking to
local groups, trying to put a human face on people on Death
Row. "They are the forgotten people in our society," she
says, "and not all of them are guilty."
'Moving Through the Pain'
One of the most vocal and knowledgeable critics of capital
punishment in this area is Father Ron Ashmore, pastor of
St. Margaret Mary Church in Terre Haute. Within the boundaries
of his parish lie the federal penitentiary and its death
chamber. Father Ron was in Jerusalem when the Oklahoma City
bombing occurred. He credits the "mysterious Providence
of God" for bringing him here, where he could become acquainted
with Timothy McVeigh.
Having written a very moving article about Timothy and
his impending execution for the Easter 2001 edition of our
archdiocesan newspaper, The Criterion, Father Ron
has been involved in a whirlwind of vigils, community meetings
and interviews with local and national media.
He has eloquently opposed the death penalty and illuminated
the humanity of those facing itespecially Timothy
McVeigh, whom he came to know well, and Juan Raul Garza.
He served as spiritual adviser for Juan and witnessed his
execution after giving him last rites. (That sacrament was
provided to Tim, also a Catholic, by a prison chaplain.)
Speaking of Timothy before his execution, Father Ron said,
"The Gospel of Jesus...leads us to reach out with forgiving
love to Tim...as a son of the Father, as a brother to Jesus,
as our brother." While condemning the crime and understanding
the pain and "natural anger" of the survivors and the victims'
families, he proclaims, "As a priest, I know that I must
say that Tim is loved [by God] as deeply as the victims
who've died, as deeply as those still walking through the
pain, the hurt and the anger."
Father Ron feels the term "closure" is inappropriate. "I
don't think there's any 'closure' to a painful experience
like this," he says. "There's healing... [which] frees you
to continue life's journey with joy, without being controlled
by the hurt and the painnot 'closure,' but openness."
After Juan Garza's June 19 execution, Father Ron described
him as a "truly changed man after nine years in prison,"
a man whose last words were apologies to all and blessings
on his victims' families. He was a man who died smiling
and looking at Father Ron and who, at the moment of his
passing, was "radiant and filled with the glory of God's
A City Divided
But not everyone in Terre Haute opposes the death penalty.
Dr. R. Kirby Goidel, associate professor of political science
at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, does not object
to it on moral grounds. But he says, "I think the process
needs to be reformed," noting the racial and economic disparities
in its application.
He and Dr. Thomas Steiger, associate professor of sociology
at Indiana State University, share a concern about the "coarsening"
effect of these executions on Terre Haute and American society
as a whole. They offered a course on the death penalty at
the university this past spring.
Steiger, who has more moral qualms about capital punishment
than Goidel ("I don't like the notion of blood on my hands"),
is especially concerned with its effects on those assigned
to carry it out. Indeed, Warden Harley Lapin, who was in
charge of these two federal executions, showed considerable
strain at the concluding press conferences: "As you've heard
me say before, I anticipated this to be a very difficult
thing to do...and it was."
Goidel and Steiger also recognize that the image of Terre
Haute, nationally and internationally, may be altered by
these executions. They lay the responsibility for much of
this, and for the continuation of capital punishment itself,
at the door of the mass mediawith its proclivity for
scare tactics and the use of labels like "soft on crime"
and "war on crime."
One member of the media, Dana Winklepleck, television news
anchor for local station WTWO, was assigned to cover the
McVeigh execution. She agrees that these events have had
a major impact on our city, but feels that most citizens
just want to get on with their lives. Having met some of
the foreign press sent to cover this event, she mentioned
the "outrage" in Europe over our use of capital punishment.
Winklepleck also felt a personal impact in covering this
execution. Beforehand, she could "see both sides" of this
argument; now she is against capital punishment. "It's a
very odd feeling, knowing you were there just waiting for
someone to die." Kathy Dash, another news anchor at WTWO,
spoke for most of us when she commented, "It's kind of sad
that we're going to get used to these executions."
Waiting for the Wave of Truth
How sad indeed for those of us in Terre Hauteand
in other communities across the country where executions
take placewho have been thrust into the spotlight
of this debate and into the stark realities of capital punishment.
Our nation has become a pariah to the world. Foreign governments
refuse to extradite fugitives to the United States because
they do not condone our use of the death penalty. The Organization
of American States condemned the trial and execution of
Juan Raul Garza as a "violation of international law."
Yet our tax dollars pay for it. The politicians we elect
support or allow it. Bud Welch, when referring to the execution
of Timothy McVeigh and especially the mishandling of the
case and the evidence by the F.B.I., said that he is "totally
embarrassed to be an American citizen."
Nineteen of the 38 states allowing the death penalty have
ballot initiatives or legislation pending to halt executions.
Illinois Governor George Ryan has declared a moratorium
in his state. Congress has similar initiatives being sponsored
by Senators Russell D. Feingold and Carl Levin. Sister Helen
urges us all to support these measures, and feels that such
support will result in a moratorium on all executions.
"It's hard to say exactly when a wave hits the shore,"
she says. "You can tell a wave is building. You can tell
the wave is moving. And so we have to hasten its coming."
For Whom the Bell Tolls
At 6 p.m. on June 11 and June 19, church bells rang out
at St. Mary of the Woods, at St. Margaret Mary Parish and
at other churches across Terre Haute, around Indiana and
throughout the nation. As part of a national project called
"For Whom the Bells Toll," bells ring each time an execution
takes place anywhere in the country.
The title of the project is taken from a piece by 17th-century
author and clergyman John Donne, who wrote, "No man is an
island, entire of itself;...any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send
to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
As we listened to the bells toll in June, we wondered how
many more times they would have to ringhow many more
times we would be "diminished"before this deadly cycle
of retribution is ended once and for all. Some residents
of Terre Haute fear that our town will be remembered as
the site of the federal death house and of these executions.
Instead, we, like many others, hope and pray that it will
one day be remembered as the site of the last federal execution

Great, small, economical unit
By AMK
from Riverhead, NY
This is a great little unit for a small room or bedroom. Cools quickly, pretty quiet, lightweight, easy to install, etc. It should be noted that it does not have temperature control. Its only options are basically high and low, so you cannot set a temperature for it to reach and expect it to shut off. It just keeps going, so that can be a bit of an inconvenience. But, other than that, it's a great choice.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama warned Libya's leaders that the U.S. and its NATO allies are still considering military options in response to what he called "unacceptable" violence perpetrated by supporters of Moammar Gadhafi.
"I want to send a very clear message to those who are around Colonel Gadhafi. It is their choice to make how they operate moving forward. And they will be held accountable for whatever violence continues to take place," Obama said during remarks in the Oval Office Monday.
Libyan warplanes launched multiple airstrikes on opposition fighters in the second day of a government crackdown to thwart rebels advancing on Gadhafi's stronghold in Tripoli.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said a military response was no more likely Monday than it was before the surge in violence. He said the U.S. and its partners are considering a wide variety of military actions, including a no-fly zone, but said deploying ground troops "is not top of the list at this point."
Carney said the U.S. is also considering providing weapons to rebel forces, though he cautioned that there were still many unanswered questions about what groups comprise those forces.
"I think that it would be premature to send a bunch of weapons to a post office box in eastern Libya. We need to not get ahead of ourselves in terms of the options we're pursuing," Carney said.
NATO officials are meeting in Brussels this week to consider the next steps in dealing with Libya. U.S. Ambassador to NATO, Ivo Daalder said officials would discuss the capabilities and even the purposes of a no-fly zone, noting that it was unclear how useful it would be to stop violence that is mainly occurring on the ground.

Case Against Former Executive Office of Public Safety Assistant Secretary Michael O'Toole Dismissed Based on Statute of Limitations
The Commission's Enforcement Division filed an OTSC on January 19, 2007, alleging that O'Toole repeatedly violated Section 6 of the conflict of interest law by approving payments to municipal police departments that were clients of Crest Associates, Inc. ("Crest") at a time when O'Toole was negotiating and/or had an agreement for employment with Crest. The OTSC also alleged that O'Toole violated Section 5(a) by, as a Crest employee, writing a quarterly financial report for a police department that had received an EOPS grant that O'Toole approved while at EOPS. The Enforcement Division did not learn about O'Toole's alleged conduct until about January 26, 2004, less than three years before the OTSC was issued. On October 18, 2007, O'Toole filed a motion for summary decision to dismiss all claims made by the Enforcement Division.
The Commission's regulation at 930 CMR 1.02(10) establishes a time limit in which the Enforcement Division may initiate an action based on the conflict of interest law. It provides, "An order to show cause must be issued within three (3) years after a disinterested person learned of the violation." In its Decision and Order, the Commission found that, as a result of extensive media coverage, the relevant events were a matter of general knowledge in the community more than three years before the OTSC was issued. The Commission further found that such media coverage should have triggered a duty to inquire on the part of the Enforcement Division, and, therefore, the Enforcement Division knew or should have known of the relevant events more than three years before the OTSC was issued. Accordingly, the OTSC was not timely issued, and the case was dismissed.
According to the Decision and Order, O'Toole offered copies of more than twenty news stories that appeared between October 30, 2003 and January 20, 2004 as proof that his conduct allegedly in violation of G. L. c. 268A was a matter of "general knowledge in the community" more than three years before the OTSC was issued. Although none of the news stories focused specifically on O'Toole, they identified him by name, described his former work for EOPS and his current work for Crest, and placed him in the middle of a controversy and investigation concerning the awarding of public safety grants by EOPS to Crest's clients prior to and after his service as EOPS grants director. The Decision and Order states that the news articles, "contained sufficient relevant information about Respondent's conduct which is the subject of the [OTSC], and were widely and prominently enough published to have made 'the relevant events' concerning Respondent's alleged violations 'a matter of general knowledge in the community' within the meaning of 930 CMR 1.02 (10)(d), in late December 2003 and early January 2004, more than three years before the [OTSC] issued." Furthermore, although the Enforcement Division did not actually read the media reports until late January 2004, the Commission stated that these reports were available to the Enforcement Division beforehand, and should have caused the Enforcement Division to make inquiries concerning potential violations by O'Toole.
"This case makes clear that there is a duty of inquiry for the Enforcement Division to look into matters that receive extensive media coverage if those matters might suggest violations of the conflict of interest law," said Executive Director Karen L. Nober. "Since the Order to Show Cause was filed more than three years after the Enforcement Division should have learned of potential violations, the Commission dismissed the case against Mr. O'Toole on procedural grounds."

Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by the Agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA), Federal Agencies are required to publish notice in the
Submit either electronic or written comments on the collection of information by February 6, 2012.
Submit electronic comments on the collection of information to
Denver Presley, II,Office of Information Management,Food and Drug Administration,1350 Piccard Dr.,PI50-400B,Rockville, MD 20850,(301) 796-3793.
Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. "Collection of information" is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the
With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.
Since the early 1980s, the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition at FDA has been commissioning several waves of two national consumer surveys, the Food Safety Survey (FSS) and the Health and Diet Survey (HDS), to gather data on consumer knowledge, perceptions, and behaviors regarding food safety and nutrition. The purposes of the surveys are three-fold: (1) To generate nationally representative estimates of knowledge, perception, and practice of interest at a given point in time; (2) to track trends of the estimates over time; and (3) to understand the relationships among knowledge, perceptions, and practices regarding food safety and nutrition and how these relate to demographic characteristics.
Traditionally, all waves of the surveys have been administered via landline telephones and have used the random digit dialing (RDD) technique to recruit national samples of adults (18 years old or above) from households with landline telephone numbers. A noticeable phenomenon that has appeared in our recent surveys is a precipitous decline of younger respondents in completed interviews. For example, the proportion of respondents in the 18 to 29 age group for the FSS has dropped from 17 percent in 2001 to 11 percent in 2006 to only 4 percent in 2010; the corresponding proportion for the HDS has gone from 14 percent in 2002, to 15 percent in 2004, to only 6 percent in 2008.
One possible reason for the decline is the rapid adoption of cell phones in recent years. During the second half of 2010, 28 percent of American adults lived in households with only wireless service ("wireless-only households" or "cell-phone only households"), compared to 15 percent in the second half of 2007 and 5 percent in the second half of 2004 (Ref. 1). During the second half of 2010, 17 percent of adults lived in households that received all or almost all calls on cell phones despite having a landline phone ("wireless-mostly households" or "cell-phone mostly households"), an increase of 3 percentage points from the first half of 2008 (Ref. 1). Thus, the number of adults reachable by landline phone calls has decreased in recent years. The rate of cell phone adoption, however, has been uneven among adults with different demographic characteristics. In 2010, adults living in wireless-only households were more likely to be 18 to 34 year olds, living in poorer households, without a college or higher educational degree, or Hispanics or Latinos (Ref. 1). Meanwhile, adults who live in landline households differ from those who live in wireless-only households as well those in wireless-mostly households (Ref. 2), and the demographic characteristics of adults living in wireless-mostly households are much less diverse than that of adults living in wireless-only households (Ref. 1).
The under-representation of wireless-only or wireless-mostly adults, especially those in younger age groups, in landline surveys can affect national estimates of the prevalence of certain
Thus, our recent surveys may have become vulnerable to a noncoverage problem due to the fact that many eligible respondents are not included in the survey samples because they do not own landline phones or because they receive calls only or mostly on cell phones. Adults living in wireless-only and wireless-mostly households are less likely to appear in landline telephone samples and often possess characteristics that differ from those of adults in landline households. Thus, a telephone survey that still relies exclusively on landline phone calls to interview respondents may not produce results that are reliable and valid (Refs. 2 and 6), may not yield results that are comparable to results from past landline surveys when this noncoverage problem was absent, or both.
One common approach to addressing potential impacts of cell phone use on landline telephone survey results is to supplement a landline telephone survey with a cell phone survey to achieve a wider coverage of population in the sample of respondents. Existing evidence on the usefulness of this approach varies between national estimates and population subgroup estimates. Many studies conducted around the mid-2000s (for example, Ref. 7), when the use of cell phones was not as common as today, and a 2007 study (Ref. 2) suggested that general population estimates of certain social and political attitudes, voting behavior, and media use and attitudes did not always vary when a landline survey was supplemented or was not supplemented with a cell-phone only survey, especially when the response to a landline survey was weighted to reflect population characteristics. On the other hand, this research also suggested that among young adults and low-income adults, estimates of certain health-related behaviors, such as smoking and binge drinking, differ between those living in households with and without landlines (Ref. 8). In addition, young adults who had a landline phone were less likely to report drinking alcohol or to agree that marijuana smoking is acceptable (Ref. 9). We are, however, not aware of any research that has examined whether food safety or nutrition related perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors differ when landline telephone surveys miss respondents who are not reachable by landline telephone calls.
Therefore, we are concerned that the diminishing survey participation among consumers who are not easily reached by landline telephones may lead to unreliable or biased estimates of critical information and the relationships among knowledge, perceptions, and other food safety and nutrition related variables. These concerns warrant a systematic examination of the impacts of cell phone use on the quality of the FSS and HDS data.
The objective of this data collection is to provide data for an experimental study that compares demographic distributions in and responses to selected FSS and HDS questions by samples of respondents drawn from an overlapping dual frame (Ref. 6),
The HDS questionnaire will focus on knowledge of dietary fats, use of food labels, awareness of diet-health relationships, and use and understanding of dietary supplements. The FSS questionnaire will focus on perceptions of general food safety risks, food handling practices, perceived personal vulnerability to food safety risks, consumption of risky foods, and awareness of mercury and fish. All questions have been asked in previous surveys.
The Agency will use the study to assess the impacts of cell phone use on population estimates of nutrition and food safety related perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors. The assessment will help the Agency determine whether and how future administrations of the FSS and HDS should be adjusted to produce reliable, valid, and historically comparable results in response to the growing prevalence of cell phone use.
FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows:

Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH)
American Heart Month
Heart Disease: NIH Studying How Women's Hearts Are Different from Men's
Cardiovascular Disease (PDF - 1.34 MB)
This booklet presents data from the Census and other government sources.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an abnormal functioning of the heart or blood vessels. Heart disease is a general term for a variety of heart conditions. The most common form of heart disease in women is coronary heart disease, also called coronary artery disease because it involves the coronary arteries. Other types of CVD are hypertension, congestive heart failure, stroke, congenital cardiovascular defects, hardening or narrowing (atherosclerosis) of the blood vessels including the coronary arteries, and other diseases of the circulatory system.
People who have diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, and family members with heart disease are at higher risk for heart disease. People who smoke or do not exercise, as well as women older than 55 years are also at higher risk. (Learn more about heart disease risk at http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/educational/hearttruth/lower-risk/risk-factors.htm.)
Because women can have different symptoms of heart disease than men, serious conditions can be overlooked or inadequately treated.
NIH supports researchers who are looking at the role of sex differences in preventing, diagnosing and treating heart disease. Here are 3 examples of active research studies that the NIH Office of Research on Women's Health supports:
- Sex Differences in Molecular Heterogeneity of Cardiac Repolarization
Women's hearts are different from men's hearts in the electrical patterns that control beating and in the frequency that certain drugs cause irregular heart rhythm as a side effect. Researchers funded by the ORWH and the NIH's National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute are investigating how hormones affect the functioning of heart cells differently in men and women.
- Cardiovascular Disease Biomarkers and Mediation of Hormone Therapy Effects
Researchers are evaluating certain proteins in the blood to determine if they can predict the risk of heart disease and stroke in postmenopausal women. Learning whether changes in these proteins are a result of postmenopausal hormone therapy can help explain why different hormone therapies change the risk for these major diseases. The study could lead to new, accurate ways to predict heart disease and stroke with a simple blood test. The study also could lead to new therapies that lower risk of heart disease and stroke for postmenopausal women, whether they use hormone therapy or not.
- Role of Androgen and Estrogen Receptor Signaling in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is a rare disorder in which high blood pressure in the lungs' blood vessels can lead to heart failure and death. Women are 2 to 4 times more likely to develop IPAH than men, but we do not yet understand why. This "Bench to Bedside" study—a collaboration between the NIH Clinical Center, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center—is shedding light on how the hormones estrogen and testosterone contribute to the development of this disorder in men and women.

Coming Soon: Collaboration is Commercial Norm
By Christine Bardwell | Commerce Product Strategy -Oracle on Sep 14, 2015
Has anyone else noticed that the peer-to-peer commerce space is really taking off?
Also known as P2P, 'the sharing economy', 'the collaborative economy', and probably many other terms I've not yet come across, peer-to-peer commerce is where individuals are directly connected to each other to trade goods or services.
Ok, so the concept is not new. People have been trading and bartering for centuries. Even online, peer-to-peer is not a new concept. Napster pioneered P2P file sharing in the late 90s, and eBay is now in its twentieth year.
Still, it's only in recent years that P2P has been really disrupting traditional commercial business models.
Two of the more familiar P2P businesses - Airbnb, a website for people to list and rent out their accommodation; and Uber an app that connects people with taxis, private car drivers and rideshares, have both faced controversy and lawsuits, mainly because competitors are uncomfortable with P2P becoming the new normal.
But the P2P commercial model is gradually becoming the new normal. Some of the more established companies are seeing huge growth. Airbnb for example, has more than 15 million users worldwide, while Uber is available in more than 300 cities. Plus, the start-up space is scattered with hundreds of new collaborative economy businesses.
Here's a quick overview of some of the P2P companies on my EMEA watch list:[Read More]

Poll: Less Bickering, More Debating?
Candidates Tangle in Fractious Debate
President Barack Obama, seeking to regain momentum in his campaign, battled with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney during a tense and highly anticipated rematch Tuesday marked by repeated confrontations. Just three weeks before the election, Messrs. Obama and Romney disbanded the debate's town hall-style format in offering competing plans for creating jobs, expanding energy production and taxes. In contrast to their first debate, they repeatedly interrupted each other, accused each other of lying and appealed to the moderator for more time. Tension was evident as they paced toward each other and pointed.
Squabbles Viewed as a Turnoff for Undecided
Where many people saw a debate, undecided voters likely saw a squabble.
President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney rallied core supporters, but the testy confrontations did little to sway undecided voters, distracting them from the genuine differences between the candidates, analysts from both parties said. Former U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, said that both candidates did little to help undecided voters make up their minds.
"Undecideds still have a tough decision to make," he said.
The second presidential debate produced a string of tense exchanges, with the candidates interrupting each other and demanding more time to make their points. Coming off a listless performance in the first debate Oct. 3, Mr. Obama displayed far more energy this time—and Mr. Romney matched him in intensity.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Many variations of the name McGuire have evolved since the time of its initial creation. In Gaelic it appeared as Mag Uidhir, which is derived from the word "odhar," meaning "dun-colored;" in the genitive case, the word is "uidhir."
The surname McGuire was first found in County Fermanagh (Irish: Fear Manach) in the southwestern part of Northern Ireland, Province of Ulster, where they held a family seat from ancient times.
Names from the Middle Ages demonstrate many spelling variations. This is because the recording scribe or church official often decided as to how a person's name was spelt and in what language. Research into the name McGuire revealed many variations, including Maguire, MacGuire, Guire, Guirey, Guiry and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our McGuire research. Another 131 words (9 lines of text) covering the years 1707, 1683 and 1707 are included under the topic Early McGuire History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Another 41 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early McGuire Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
The 19th century saw a great wave of Irish families leaving Ireland for the distant shores of North America and Australia. These families often left their homeland hungry, penniless, and destitute do to the policies of England. Those Irish immigrants that survived the long sea passage initially settled on the eastern seaboard of the continent. Some, however, moved north to a then infant Canada as United Empire Loyalists after ironically serving with the English in the American War of Independence. Others that remained in America later joined the westward migration in search of land. The greatest influx of Irish immigrants, though, came to North America during the Great Potato Famine of the late 1840s. Thousands left Ireland at this time for North America, and those who arrived were immediately put to work building railroads, coal mines, bridges, and canals. In fact, the foundations of today's powerful nations of the United Sates and Canada were to a larger degree built by the Irish. Archival documents indicate that members of the McGuire family relocated to North American shores quite early:

|Doc: 'We've done a lot of things average'
|11.17.09 at 4:23 pm ET
WALTHAM — Doc Rivers knows his team hasn't hit its stride yet.
He also realizes there's 71 games left in the season.
But still, he, like everyone else, had to watch on Friday and Saturday as the Celtics dropped back-to-back games somewhat unexpectedly to the Hawks at home and the Pacers on the road.
The more alarming loss was Saturday when the weary Celts allowed Indiana to shoot 53 percent from the floor and score 113 points in a loss at Conseco Fieldhouse.
"It's nothing big," Rivers said following Tuesday's practice. "We've done a lot of things average and we're not an average team. When you play average on defense on certain things, and offense, you lose. It's more of that. It's nothing earth-shattering. It's nothing we're going to panic about. We know we have to get better.
'To me, the way we've played so far, we've been a spurt team. We're not ready yet to be a 48-minute basketball team, that's just not what we've done yet. We're working on it.'
Meanwhile, one of the Celtics best defenders of the last two seasons ' when healthy ' has been Tony Allen. The guard has been out with a right ankle injury since off-season surgery but could be getting closer to returning as he is now practicing with the team.
'He did well actually," Rivers said. "He moved and played great. He's moving well. I'm not sure if he's ready to play yet, honestly. I just don't know yet because I do think he's not sure of his injuries. There's several times he'll jump and you can see he's clearly thinking about it and I don't like putting players on the floor when they're thinking about it because that leads to something else.'
|Doc on Belichick call: 'You don't get do-overs'
|at 3:09 pm ET
WALTHAM — Doc Rivers weighed in on 'The Call' following Celtics practice on Tuesday.
Asked if he had any reaction to uproar over Bill Belichick's decision to go for it on fourth-and-2 from his own 28, Rivers, an avid NFL fan, replied, "You read your team, and if you like your team, you take risks. That's what you do.
"But you don't get do-overs in coaching and that's the difference. Everything else, you get to sit around and talk about it after the fact. In coaching, you make your decision and you don't apologize for it."
|Pierce returns to practice
|at 2:27 pm ET
WALTHAM — Paul Pierce returned to practice on Tuesday at the Celtics' practice facility after missing Monday with a sore left knee, injured on Friday night against Atlanta.
Pierce said it was only a slight sprain and he took part in the team's workout, with coach Doc Rivers giving him an occasional rest on the sideline.
"I got a good response from the last couple of days of rest and I felt good about it. It went smoothly. I went the whole practice and felt really good about it. It was a slight sprain in the knee but normally I'm a fast healer so I felt good," Pierce said.
Pierce and head coach Doc Rivers expect Pierce to be available and start when the team takes on Golden State on Wednesday night at TD Garden.
"He looked good," Rivers said. He went half-and-half. We got him in, got him out. He really wanted to do something because he said, 'I don't want to go through three days of nothing and play a game,' which I agreed with. It was more about rest than an injury thing. He'll be fine."
|Report: C's considering Nocioni in three-way
|at 12:04 pm ET
WALTHAM — While the Celtics hit the practice court again today in preparation for the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, the team is involved in discussions regarding a three-way trade to bring power Sacramento forward Andres Nocioni to Boston, according to ESPN.
The Celtics would acquire the third-year 6-7 power forward from the Kings while sending Tony Allen and Brian Scalabrine to Philadelphia and J.R. Giddens to Sacramento.
The deal, on the surface, would seem unlikely as Nocioni, who turns 30 on Nov. 30, is signed through 2011-12 and is owed roughly $20.5 million guaranteed, with a team option for the 2012-13 season.
|Pierce suffers bruised left knee
|11.13.09 at 9:57 pm ET
With three minutes remaining in the third quarter, Paul Pierce left the game with a bruised left knee and limped to the locker room with trainer Ed Lacerte.
Pierce appeared to injury his knee earlier in the third quarter, when he was slow to come off the court at midcourt during a TV timeout.
Pierce returned to the game with 10:29 remaining in the fourth, with a wrap on his left knee. He was checked out by team doctor Alan Curtis.
|Doc: 'I think No. 6 should be retired'
|at 7:57 pm ET
Going into Friday's game against Atlanta, Doc Rivers had lots on his mind. Namely, Josh Smith, Joe Johnson, Al Horford and the very young and talented Hawks.
One thing NOT on his mind is whether the No. 23 should be retired throughout the NBA, as suggested by superstar LeBron James.
"I don't know if there's a right answer on that," Rivers said. "Something I've been asked far more than I'd like to be asked, going into a game. He said he was going to wear No. 6. That number should be retired. I don't know what the right answer to that question is. I think it's good either way."
James offered to give up his No. 23 and wear his Olympic No. 6 instead. Then, Rivers had some fun with reporters pregame Friday.
"You know who No. 6 is, right?" Rivers said, referring to Bill Russell.
|Scal Back, Walker inactive
|at 7:48 pm ET
Doc Rivers announced before tonight's game that he will have a full compliment of 12 players tonight when the Celtics take on the Atlanta Hawks.
Brian Scalabrine returns after missing two of the last three games with back spasms. Bill Walker, who entered the game late in Wednesday's blowout win over Utah in his first action of the season, returns to the inactive list as a healthy scratch. Glen Davis (right thumb) and Tony Allen (right ankle) are the other two inactives.

Swiss Employee Group Probes Goldman Over Long Hours
By Neil Maclucas and Andrew Morse
A Swiss bank employee lobby has complained to authorities in Zurich that Goldman Sachs local office may not have kept accurate records of working hours.
The Schweizerischer Bankpersonalverband, a bank employee lobby, lodged a complaint with Zurich's Office for Economy and Labor about two weeks ago regarding the Zurich operations of the U.S. investment banking giant. In particular, the organization complained that Goldman Sachs may not have kept adequate records of the hours its staff had been working or how much overtime its workers had racked up.
Denise Chervet, the association's general secretary, said as a rule employees in the banking sector are expected to work 45 hours a week. Firms are required to document any additional hours and provide a reason for the additional workload, she said.

Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press. p. 223-261. Technical Abstract: Food irradiation is a physical treatment in which food is exposed to ionizing radiation, i.e., radiation of high enough energy to expel electrons from atoms and to ionize molecules. Irradiation may be used to control the physiology of fruits, or to eliminate harmful bacteria from fruit products. This chapter will discuss the use of ionizing radiation in the processing of fruits and fruit products such as juices, ciders and fruit pulp. The key technologies used for irradiation will be compared, and the current state and extent of commercial fruit irradiation will be summarized. Also discussed will be matters of quality control in irradiation processing of fruits, and ways that other treatments may be combined with irradiation in a Ahurdle@-type synergistic control program, as well as the regulations and scientific data concerning packaging materials. In addition to a review of the relevant scientific information on radiation microbiology and physiology, this chapter will present summaries of the national and international regulations concerning which fruit commodities may be irradiated, the permitted purposes for irradiation, the maximum doses allowed by key exporting and importing nations.

PORTLAND — The family of a Bend soldier killed by a roadside bomb last weekend said he recently had re-enlisted because he didn't want to leave his unit.
Spc. Brandon Joseph Prescott died Saturday along with four other Fort Bliss-based troops when an improvised explosive device struck the vehicle in the Maiwand district of Afghanistan's Kandahar province. An Army statement Monday identified the others as Spc. Kevin Cardoza, of Mercedes, Texas; 1st Lt. Brandon James Landrum, of Lawton, Okla.; Spc. Thomas Paige Murach, of Meridian, Idaho; and Staff Sgt. Francis Gene Phillips IV, of Meridian, N.Y.
All served in the 1st Battalion, 36th Infantry, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, based at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. They were deployed in December for a nine-month assignment, and Prescott served as assistant team leader of his unit.
The 24-year-old was due to return home in September but already had signed up for another three years in the Army, his twin brother Aaron said.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Family Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Part.Section.Paragraph)
Quote #7
When he had first come home from Harvard, Roscoe had approached him with the proposition that he should wear eye-glasses and imitation whiskers glued to his cheeks, and it had seemed for a moment that the farce of his early years was to be repeated. But whiskers had itched and made him ashamed. He wept and Roscoe had reluctantly relented. (1.10.1)
Benjamin now has the same relationship with his son that he once had with his father.
Quote #8
In 1920 Roscoe Button's first child was born. During the attendant festivities, however, no one thought it "the thing" to mention, that the little grubby boy, apparently about ten years of age who played around the house with lead soldiers and a miniature circus, was the new baby's own grandfather. (2.1.1)
Remember Benjamin's affinity with his own family at the beginning of the story. There is indeed something cyclic about the nature of Benjamin's unusual life.

Investigators were called to Doctors Hospital where the child had been brought around 9 p.m. after she became unresponsive in her father's home on the 2900 block of Gordon Highway. The child was transported to Medical College of Georgia with a brain bleed.
Her father, Willie Clifford Jones, 22, was jailed today on charges of first degree cruelty to children.
Police said Jones had been caring for the child during the past month while her grandmother, who she lives with, was having surgery.
Details are not being released on the object Jones used on the child. Police are also investigating the circumstances that led to the charge of abuse.

Affordable housing, as entrepreneur Jaitirth Rao pointed out in an article in this paper on Friday, is bogged down in a morass of red tape and poorly drafted rules. In the best states, a developer who wants to build cheap housing needs 17 approvals from various municipal and sarkari agencies to start work.
Rules are not codified rationally, nor are they available easily on the Internet or government publications. What Rao leaves unsaid, but what every Indian knows is that this confusing maze of rules and procedure is deliberate. Excessive and poor regulation is the main driver of corruption.

Good time of year to thinking of sharing well with others.
Charity Navigator helps you find charities specifically tailored to your interests. They also rate them on their "effectiveness," meaning how low are their administrative costs.
If you like a short-cut, Yahoo has gathered together this quick list of the top 20 charities in America.
