Expelled Wash. Students Will Have To Meet With Teachers, Parents Before Returning To School
Parents and teachers of a student who's been expelled from a Washington school will likely have to meet together before the student is allowed to attend classes again, according to new state rules up for public review Monday.
"You would think it was happening before, but it absolutely wasn't happening before," said Linda Mangel, education policy director for the ACLU of Washington, who noted the new guideline comes as part of a change in state law.
A coalition of advocacy groups had pushed for the change, which now bars Washington schools from kicking students out of classes indefinitely, capping the length of long-term suspensions and expulsions at one year.
"I think we're really to the point now where people are starting to get it. They know suspensions and expulsions don't work. They're ready to try something new," said Tracy Sherman, a policy analyst for the League of Education Voters, which pushed the Legislature for the change.
School officials suspended or expelled more than 59,000 students in Washington state in 2012-13, according to state figures. Federal data suggest the state's African-American students face a much greater likelihood of being suspended or expelled than do white or Latino students.
Though educators face a tough balancing act between getting troubled students help and maintaining order and discipline, civil rights advocates fear disciplined students too often end up in the "school-to-prison pipeline." Mangel said students who get expelled often find themselves with nowhere to go.
"All too often, where they go is the juvenile justice system," Mangel said. "So the schools kick them out, and there's nobody there to catch them."
That's why Sherman said the League of Education Voters advocated for requiring schools to hold "reengagement meetings" between parents or guardians, students and district staff.
"Reengagement meetings are really an opportunity for the student, the parents and the school to plan for the student's return. That could mean everything from academic supports to behavior supports — really anything for the student to return, have a clear process for what that's going to look like," Sherman said.
Both Sherman and Mangel say they hope state officials will add more specifics to the new rules to make them more prescriptive.
State officials will hold a public hearing on the proposed rules in Olympia and are accepting comments on the rules through Monday.

Roger unable to defend his crown
Roger was not able to defend his Hamburg title, losing to Rafael Nadal in a three-set thriller: 5-7, 7-6 (3), 3-6.
It was the reverse of last year's final, when Roger won his fourth title in Hamburg and snapped Nadal's 81-match winning streak on clay. It was our star's first defeat after a series of 21 victories in Hamburg, taking home the title in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2007.
Roger's start into today's match was most promising, taking an early 2-0 lead and going to 5-1. But Nadal came back impressively after a medical time-out due to pain in his thigh, winning the next five games and the first set. The second set was very similar, with Nadal rallying from big deficits but Roger showing a great display to clearly win the tie-break.
Roger fell behind 1-4 in the third set and was not able to stop the Spaniard from winning his 26th career title. The head-to-head between the two now is 1-8 on clay and 6-10 overall from Roger's point of view. Our number one having as much practice on clay as never before, he will enter Roland Garros - starting in a week from now - with plenty of confidence.
Well may be you are right...... And may be you talking only abt you. Well whatever it is we should agree with the fact that Roger could have won that match from 5-1 easily...... But he has won Hamburg 4 years before but have never won FO. So
This site seems to be more about Nadl & Djokovic these days than you. I don't have much to say. I just want to give my humble advise to you before the FO. I have a feeling 2008 might be your year for a few reasons.
1) This is a battle and
Cool we have a melody to work with now! I'll have a friend who plays guitar work on it for me.
Thanks! I have never picked up an instrument. I do remember that Roger knows how to play the piano...
I just wrote a fairly long, somewhat entertaining post, then accidentally pressed some key and my post disappeared. I'm extremely tired from work but will try again tomorrow.
Just wanted to answer TonyN, Shell about the ball girl, legend
Thank you for sticking up for me. I guess I was suckered into the fray. I'm not apologizing for what I posted, but I will say, the best way to deal with any malfeasance on this site is to simply ignore it.

Romney Gets 'Glitter Makeover'
EAGAN, Minn.—Occupy Minneapolis protesters showed up to give Mitt Romney a "makeover," glitter-bombing him during a campaign stop here.
Nick Espinosa and Sam Richards, members of a group called Glitterati as well as Occupy Minneapolis, doused the candidate with glitter at the beginning of his speech Wednesday and again in the rope line.
Mr. Romney laughed off the first dose, saying, "I'm happy for the celebration. This is confetti. We just won Florida."
Later he joked, "I've got glitter in my hair. That's not all that's in my hair, I'll tell you that. I glue it on every morning whether I need to or not."
The GOP hopeful sparkled – literally—as he gave his remarks. He avoided mentioning opponent Newt Gingrich (another glitter-bomb victim) and instead lobbed attacks at President Barack Obama.
Mr. Romney veered little from his standard stump speech except to, again, lead the crowd in singing "America the Beautiful."
The men responsible for the glitter frenzy said their protest was inspired by Mr. Romney's contributions to the Mormon Church and other charitable organizations they claim are anti-gay and anti-equality.
"This was our attempt to, well, we'll say give Mitt a little makeover," Ben Egerman, a member of the two groups said after the event.

The Martian Chronicles
by Ray Bradbury
The Martian Chronicles The Luggage Store Summary
- Is this an interchapter? It's short, but it has characters with names, which the other interchapters don't. So we're not sure.
- Father Peregrine (from "The Fire Balloons") comes to talk to the luggage-store owner about the war that's coming on Earth.
- Just one of your light, humorous conversations about nuclear war.
- The luggage-store owner argues that people will return to Earth because that's still their home. He decides to keep his store open because he thinks people will soon be going back to Earth.
- (It's so hard to know what to pack for a nuclear war. Do you need your bathing suit when the water will be boiling and toxic?)

Park Cities' money won't make it rain
Re: "The word on water: Conserve — State plan insists habits must shift," Jan. 23 news story.
I read with interest the article on the state plan, which insists habits must change.
Last summer almost all of the communities in the Metroplex had some form of water rationing — watering lawn one to two times per week. It would help if we all could agree on the same restrictions since we are all in this together.
However, the Park Cities had no rationing. The explanation was that they were willing to pay for it so they were allowed to water any time they wanted to. That explanation made absolutely no sense.
So they are willing to pay for it. Their money will be worthless if there is no water.
They have a responsibility to conserve water along with the rest of us. And it makes me furious that they are allowed to douse their lawns however many times a day they want "because they are willing to pay for it."
I'll remember that when we are all standing in line at the only watering hole left with our buckets. Then I guess they will be allowed at the front of the line if they are willing to pay for the privilege.
Some things never change.

A U.S. Army veteran who lost his legs while deployed in Iraq was thrown from a 200-foot-tall roller coaster at an upstate theme park on Friday and was killed.
James Thomas Hackemer, 29, was ejected from a roller coaster at the Darien Lake Theme Park Resort Friday. Hackerner lost both of his legs serving in Iraq.
James Thomas Hackemer, 29, was ejected from the Ride of Steel roller coaster at the Darien Lake Theme Park Resort, located between Buffalo and Rochester, at about 5:30 p.m., the Genesee County sheriff's office said.
The park confirmed a guest "came out of the Ride of Steel roller coaster" and said it was "saddened to report that the guest has passed." It said local authorities and its safety experts were investigating.
The park's website describes the Ride of Steel as one of the tallest coasters east of the Mississippi River, climbing 208 feet and reaching speeds in excess of 70 mph.
The roller coaster and surrounding area were closed after the man's death, park spokeswoman Cassandra Okon said.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and the family of the guest," she said.
The death was at least the second in the last couple of months at Northeast amusement parks. In early June, an 11-year-old girl on a class trip to Morey's Mariner's Landing Pier in Wildwood, N.J., fell about 150 feet from near the top of a Ferris wheel and was killed. A state report found the ride's restraints to be working properly, and investigators haven't been able to determine how the girl, who was riding alone, got out of the Giant Wheel gondola.
Hackemer, of Gowanda, lost his right leg below his knee and his left leg at his hip because of a roadside bomb while he was deployed in 2008, authorities said. He had been living with his parents.
"It's going to help a little bit that he was happy," his mother, Nancy Hackemer, told The Buffalo News. "We shouldn't have had him for these last three years and four months."
She said the family had recently returned from the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, in Washington, D.C., where her son got "a new set of legs."
"He was assisted onto the ride," she said. "He was doing what he wanted to do."

This talk will present the basic tools of audio signal analysis for music information retrieval, and discuss the prospects for their useful application in jazz music collections. This work is part of a project led by the Center for Jazz Studies to build a collaborative online resource for information on jazz recordings known as J-DISC. Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is a young field that applies tools from machine learning and signal processing to obtain information about musical items. Despite significant work with pop and classical music, jazz remains almost completely unaddressed by the MIR community. Features like rhythmic/harmonic complexity and improvisational structure mean that jazz poses a set of novel problems to explore in the context of these tools.
Dan Eillis is. Director of the Laboratory for the Recognition and Organization of Speech and Audio. The talk will be moderated by Moderated by Douglas Repetto , Director of Research, Computer Music Center, Columbia University.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must RSVP by calling 212-851-9270 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
The talk is at 7:30 p.m.

Jelly Roll Racing
I was so happy to finally get my machine back today after six weeks in the shop, I just wanted to SEW something. The kind of mindless sewing where you just sit and let the machine hum along. Especially after the whole family had the flu all week. :/
So I grabbed a jelly roll that I picked up at Sample Spree last May in Portland, and decided to start racing with it. It's called Ashbury Heights. Look at the fun phone print..
I have never made a jelly roll race top before.. it ended up being just the kind of sewing that I was in the mood for. In just a couple of hours, between coughing fits and with some resting thrown in, I had sewn through the strips and then decided to add a border to make it a little bigger.
But I still wasn't feeling it.. I am usually drawn to brighter colors, and the gray wasn't really doing anything for me and it did need to be a little bit bigger still for a lap quilt.. Hmm. I really wanted to use fabric that I had on hand, and not buy anything else to go with it.. so I found some strips from another jelly roll that I picked up at the Riley Blake booth in Portland last May, this one is of their basics, dots and checks.. I pulled out all of the coordinating colors..
..and raced my way around the edges with them. They kind of pull out some of the colors in the main fabrics and give it a scrappy feel. Excuse the end of the ironing board sticking it's nose into the picture there.. The lighting was so bad, too.
I think I'm going to do the quilting on it using some of the Aurifil I won in the Make it Right Challenge. I haven't sewn with Aurifil yet.. looking forward to trying it out.. But I sure hate to break into the box though.. it looks so pretty in its natural state.. But I can't hoard it forever. Or can I? ;)
This is the first time that I have ever made a quilt top in one day. (and while recovering from the flu) There is really a first time for everything!
And while I was sewing, A. read three chapters of this book that he got for Christmas from my bro and SIL. Leave it to toilet humor to get a first grader reading on his own. :) His first independent reading.. my little reader. :) Growing right up!
Happy Weekend! Keeping fingers crossed for good health this week.

How very clever of you to race around the outside with another jelly roll and it looks great (I have to admit, the grey didn't excite me either)Look forward to seeing it finished.

That's so funny. I liked it at each stage! I do agree that your colours around the outside help make your colours pop more in the middle. Congrats on your one day finish!

I like your JRR quilt top. I did one with reds and blacks and it was just too busy. Have cut it apart and am making a chevron quilt of it. It really needs just the right fabrics and I think you got it right on this one.

That sound like a good plan when you're not in the mood of too much thinking.
Love the quilt top. the addition outside borders really do make the quilt top pop.
Sounds like a fun book for little reader.

My son was all about the Captain Underpants. Read every one. With anything they are reluctant to try, you will encourage things you may not have chosen.
I have an unhealthy relationship with thread. I have purchased several different threads from Superior Threads and I have yet to be let down. I will have to give Aurifil a try at some point. Don't let it sit around. Thread does go bad.
When I make jelly roll race quilts I join on the diagonal. Your straight end-to-end piecing gives it a different look. I often cut some of the pieces in half before piecing. With the bolder colors this spreads them out a little more across the quilt. Yours looks great. I look forward to seeing the texture quilting adds.

The colorful border really does add to your quilt. Some mindless sewing can be just perfect sometimes, and you have a quilt top in a day! You'll love sewing with Auriful - open that package NOW!

6 WEEKS WITH NO MACHINE?!!! Oh My..I think I would forget how to sew by then! ha!
Seems an absent machine is just what was needed to whip out your new top. I'll have to admit you were genius with the outer border additions….it's too cute!
Maybe those coughing fits blew out some fogginess and let your creativeness come shining through!!
Hoping you all get better soon!!!

I hope you enjoy the Aurifil! My first time sewing with it was from thread that I had won in a giveaway. I was very pleased with it. My machine and the thread love each other and it seems to last so much longer than some others.
And great job sewing while ill!

I love that quilt top! I was recently lucky enough to win a 12 spool collection of Aurifil and as soon as I'd taken a photo (!) I took all the spools out and added them to my thread box as I knew that if I didn't I'd find it difficult to break them up!!

Report: World Cup viewing cost the Dallas area nearly $7 million in productivity losses
You may have watched a recent World Cup game at work or saw your colleagues doing so.
That viewing came at a cost, according to SmartAsset. Today, the personal finance website issued productivity loss estimates from the World Cup worldwide and for certain U.S. cities.
By the time Germany's Mario Götze made the winning goal, Dallas' productivity losses totaled nearly $7 million from watching the soccer tournament. Dallas ranked No. 6 among eight major U.S. cities, according to SmartAsset., a personal finance website
Worldwide, lost productivity costs topped $7 billion during the World Cup.
SmartAsset determined its city costs by using the U.S. per capita audience and the working population of each city (from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) to find viewers at work. It figured out how many matches workers in each city would be able to see (at any time) and used the U.S. average for number of hours per match watched by workers, total match hours, and total population watching, to find the lost person-hours each day.
SmartAsset determined worldwide costs by estimating the number of hours that would have been spent working if people were not watching the World Cup in 32 countries. It projected viewing audiences in those countries at any time. It then multiplied the result by the median wage in each country to get a dollar value for the productivity lost.

A child's first seizure or an epilepsy diagnosis can rock a family at its core. Immediately questions arise, such as, "What caused the seizure? Will my child have another seizure? Can my child lead a normal life with epilepsy?" These and countless other concerns are legitimate and normal for families. This introduction aims to help answer some of the questions that typically arise for families affected by epilepsy. The section also introduces some of the topics that the Web site explores in greater detail elsewhere. Children with epilepsy can live full, happy, healthy lives. This site aims to help you understand epilepsy, care for your child, and work with medical providers and others to secure the best possible outcome for your child. In this section you will find:
Epilepsy, sometimes called "seizure disorder," is a neurological condition that manifests itself as a susceptibility to seizures. Individuals diagnosed with epilepsy have typically experienced two or more seizures as a result of factors other than preventable conditions, such as fever or low blood sugar levels, which can cause seizures but are not necessarily indicative of epilepsy.
A seizure is a sudden surge in electrical activity in the brain that causes an alteration in sensation, behavior, or consciousness. Seizure types can vary greatly from one individual to the next. They may cause momentary loss of consciousness, staring spells, repetitive movements, or convulsions involving the entire body. An individual may experience only a single type or more than one type of seizure.
To learn more about seizures and epilepsy, see the sections on The Brain and Seizure Types and Syndromes.
In this video, epileptologist Elizabeth Thiele, MD, PhD, describes what a seizure is and its relationship to epilepsy. [duration 0:55]

Epilepsy is thought to be one of the oldest medical conditions and may be as old as humankind itself. Some of the earliest medical texts describe events that likely were seizures. Throughout history, few disorders have garnered as much attention as epilepsy.
In 400 B.C., the Greek physician Hippocrates wrote the first book about epilepsy, called On the Sacred Disease, in which he defines epilepsy as a brain disorder and debunks the long-held notion that it is somehow divine or sacred in origin.
Misperceptions about epilepsy continued after Hippocrates, however. For example, in the fifteenth century, seizures were thought to be characteristic of witches. Seizures were also considered clear signs of satanic possession, and in some areas this view was held well into the nineteenth century.
Three English neurologists—John Hughlings Jackson, Sir John Russell Reynolds, and Sir William Richard Gowers—initiated the modern medical view of epilepsy beginning in 1859. Jackson defined a seizure as "an occasional, an excessive, and a disorderly discharge of nerve tissue on muscles."
This understanding of seizures and epilepsy paved the way for future research and some of the disorder's first effective treatments. Since the mid-nineteenth century there has been a series of advances in epilepsy medicine and treatments. Phenobarbital, the oldest anticonvulsant drug still in common use, was developed in 1912; the ketogenic diet was first put into use in 1920; and the electroencephalogram, or EEG, was developed in 1929. From the twentieth century on there has been a steady stream of new epilepsy treatments and breakthroughs in medical understanding.
For a list of anticonvulsant medications, see the Treatment section.
Alongside medical advances, significant progress has been made in reducing the social stigma and discrimination sometimes associated with epilepsy. This effort has been led by organizations such as the Epilepsy Foundation of America, founded in 1968, and legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Today medical researchers are actively pursuing better treatments for epilepsy and ultimately a cure. At the same time, local, regional, national, and international epilepsy organizations are working to educate people about the disorder in an effort to eliminate stigma and discrimination.
Epilepsy affects between 1 and 3 percent of the population. In the United States alone, approximately 180,000 new cases of epilepsy are diagnosed each year, and in 2004, 2.7 million Americans were living with the disorder.
Epilepsy affects people of all ages, both sexes, and all ethnic groups. Children under the age of 2 and adults over 65 are more likely to develop epilepsy than any other age group. This is explained in part by changes that occur in the brains of people early and late in life. During childhood brain development, for example, seizures are not only more likely to occur, they also spread more readily than in a fully developed brain. The rise in the incidence of epilepsy in adults as they age is due to changes in the brain caused by tumors and strokes and other brain abnormalities.
Approximately 300,000 American children under the age of 14 have epilepsy, with approximately 45,000 diagnosed each year. Males have a slightly higher incidence than females, and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations may also be at higher risk for the disorder.
In this video, epileptologist Elizabeth Thiele, MD, PhD, explains the differences between epilepsy in children and in adults. [duration 1:08]

In approximately 70 percent of cases, no cause can be determined. Of the known causes of epilepsy, some of the most common are brain injury, abnormal brain development prior to birth, lack of oxygen during or following birth, infection of the brain or surrounding tissues, and abnormal structures such as tumors in the brain. Although genetics likely plays a role in many cases of epilepsy, in most cases it is impossible to determine a clear pattern of inheritance from one family member to another.
To learn more about the causes of epilepsy, see the Causes section.
Anticonvulsant medications are the first line of treatment for epilepsy. In approximately half of all cases, seizures are controlled or eliminated with a single medication—often the first medication prescribed—and these success rates have improved as new drugs have been developed. Approximately one-third of childhood epilepsy cases are said to be intractable, meaning that two or more medications have failed to control the child's seizures. In these cases, physicians typically pursue other treatment options, including dietary therapies, surgery, or vagus nerve stimulation.
Finding an effective treatment sometimes takes time. However, due to the variety of options available, many children with epilepsy can expect their seizures to be fully controlled and can look forward to living full, happy, productive lives.
To learn more about available treatment options, see the Treatment section.
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes an individual to have two or more seizures that are not provoked by preventable causes.
A seizure is a sudden burst of rhythmic discharges of electrical activity in the brain that causes an alteration in sensation, behavior, or consciousness.
For 70 percent of individuals with epilepsy, physicians are unable to determine a cause. These cases are called idiopathic. Known causes of epilepsy include brain injury, developmental abnormalities, tumors, blood clots, and infections.
Epilepsy is not contagious and thus cannot be passed through contact from one individual to another.
An epilepsy diagnosis is typically based on the occurrence of two or more seizures. Physicians typically determine this through detailed medical histories of patients based on eyewitness descriptions of seizures from family members. In addition, physicians analyze electrical activity in the brains of individuals suspected of having epilepsy using an electroencephalogram, or EEG.
To learn more about the diagnosis of epilepsy, see the Diagnosis section.
Anticonvulsant medications are the first line of treatment for epilepsy. Other treatments include dietary therapies, surgery, and a device called a vagus nerve stimulator, or VNS.
The answer to this question depends largely on the case. Physicians typically recommend monitoring a child for subsequent seizures, either through careful observation and/or by analyzing electrical activity in the brain using an electroencephalogram, or EEG. The decision to treat a child for seizures depends on the probability that the child will experience seizures in the future as determined by a medical professional. If this probability is high, a child should be treated for epilepsy regardless of how many seizures he or she has had in the past.
At present, too little is known about the effects of seizures on neuron structure and function to understand how they affect the brain or what their long-term effects might be. This is a current area of research.
Most seizures are self-limited, last less than a few minutes, and do not require immediate medical attention. Occasionally, however, a seizure will persist for longer, or an individual will experience back-to-back seizures without sufficient recovery time in between. This condition is called status epilepticus and should be considered a medical emergency. Although physicians debate the duration of status epilepticus events, most define this state as any seizure lasting 15 minutes or more. In rare cases, if left untreated, status epilepticus may cause respiratory arrest and death.
To learn more about seizure first aid, see the Activities, Safety, and First Aid section.
To learn more about seizure types and to see a video segment about status epilepticus, see the Seizure Types and Syndromes section.
As mentioned above, it is possible, though rare, to die from a condition of prolonged seizures called status epilepticus. In another very rare condition known as sudden unexplained death in epilepsy, or SUDEP, individuals with epilepsy die from unknown causes. Experts think that most cases of SUDEP result from an abnormal heart rhythm and/or impaired respiration. However, little is known about this condition because it occurs in only about 1 in 3,000 people with epilepsy each year.
The best course of action to guard against future seizures is to follow a treatment plan prescribed by a qualified physician. This typically involves taking medications as prescribed and having regular medical evaluations. In addition, physicians recommend getting sufficient and regular sleep, and avoiding stressful situations. It may also be possible to identify specific triggers that increase the risk of a seizure and find ways to avoid these. It is still possible for individuals who follow all of these recommendations to experience recurrent seizures.
The Growing Up with Epilepsy Web site is an educational resource intended to impart hope and to deliver baseline understanding of pediatric epilepsy and the varied ways that it affects children and families. An educational resource for anyone affected by childhood epilepsy—including children with the disorder, parents, siblings, and other family members, as well as teachers and other caregivers—the Web site attempts to provide information on a wide range of topics, which can be found under these headings: Overview, The Medical Perspective, The Whole Child, and Family Stories.
The Overview section of the site provides general information about epilepsy, the brain as it relates to the disorder, and seizure types and syndromes. The Medical Perspective section explores epilepsy from the perspective of physicians and other specialists, as well as parents and children who work in collaboration with the medical team to develop a comprehensive plan for treating a child's epilepsy. The Whole Child section looks at aspects of life with epilepsy that were once overlooked. These important areas include learning, mental health, and activities. Throughout all of these sections, short video interviews with epilepsy specialists provide further insights into the topics covered and explanations of complex concepts.
The site also provides a way to learn about many of these topics through personal stories of children with epilepsy and their families. Each family story, as told through a video profile and an essay, introduces you to real people affected by epilepsy and illustrates an issue that has been particularly important to that family and many other families living with epilepsy.
The Brain Interactive provides an opportunity to explore seizure types as they relate to brain anatomy and function. This interactive uses video, computer simulations, and still imagery to explain and illustrate the connection between seizures and the brain.
Throughout, the site uses terminology that is consistent with that currently used in medical practice and in the care of children with epilepsy. Because some of the terms used may not be familiar to all visitors to the site, we provide a glossary containing the more technical or unusual of these terms. This glossary may be accessed in whole by clicking on the glossary link, or particular terms contained in the glossary may be accessed by clicking on those that are highlighted in the text.
Unfortunately, this site cannot be a comprehensive resource for everyone. Some people coming to the site will have been living with and educating themselves about epilepsy for years, while others will have received a diagnosis from their physician only recently. However, it is our hope that the site will provide valuable insight and information to all families affected by epilepsy, no matter what their previous experience with the disorder.

Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser of Qatar visited the MGH May 19 for a special presentation about type 1 diabetes treatment and research, islet and whole organ transplantation and the future of a bionic pancreas.
At this year's annual Community Health Day, more than 70 guests gathered at the MGH Revere HealthCare Center to celebrate local community health efforts and learn about one of today's most pressing health topics: diabetes.
Intensive lifestyle changes aimed at modest weight loss reduced the rate of developing type 2 diabetes by 34 percent compared with placebo in people at high risk for the disease, researchers conclude based on 10 years of data.
Near-normal control of glucose beginning as soon as possible after diagnosis would greatly improve the long-term prognosis of type 1 diabetes, concludes a study published in the July 27, 2009, issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, which updates information about the clinical course of type 1 diabetes.

Eddie Grinnell, the founder and designer of Eddie's Wheels carts, is mechanical engineer by trade, so when he was faced with the prospect of designing a wheelchair for his own paralyzed Doberman, he looked at the skeleton of a dog to create a cart that would support the dog on its bones.
Our vets had warned us that the most challenging part of caring for a paralyzed dog in a wheelchair was that most dogs developed pressure sores and decubital ulcers from the carts that were available 21 years ago from the K9 Cart Company. Their design then, as now, consisted of leg loops that suspended the dog by the soft tissues of the groin. This is a design that has been copied by most dog wheelchair manufacturers as it is relatively easy to do without having to have sophisticated manufacturing process, and can be done using parts available through hardware stores and supply houses.
Eddie had a machine shop at his disposal and was a skilled welder as well. He looked at a canine skeleton and decided that the only way to eliminate the risk of pressure sores and chafing was to create a welded, padded saddle that would support the dog between the legs on its pelvic floor. The saddle feels like bicycle seat to the dog, and the shape of the saddle mirrors the size and shape of the dog's legs and pelvis. After 16 years in business, Eddie has designed over 1900 different saddles based on the dimensions of individual dogs. Each one is handmade – solid aluminum rod (in 4 diameters based on the size of your dog) is shaped to your pet's width and leg dimensions, and welded to the frame of the cart. Closed cell foam padding is glued to saddle so that it does not roll and move with your pet's leg movements, providing a cushy support under your dog's pelvic bones . The foam padding is sanitary and the saddle is designed so that no urine or waste lands on the saddle area.
Having personally lived with six disabled dogs over the past 25 years who varied in size from 80 lbs to 12 lbs, and all of whom were smooth-coated dogs with virtually no hair in the groin area, we can personally attest to the fact that we've had no skin issues, and chafing despite all the dogs having been female and incontinent. In fact, the only time we hear of skin issues with our clients is when dogs post in the saddle, flexing their legs against stirrups as they walk – and in these cases, we recommend that owners allow dogs to use the cart as walkers and wearing booties if necessary.

"Boondock Saints 2″ Director Troy Duffy Returns From Movie Purgatory
The director Troy Duffy has charted one of the weirder Hollywood career paths. In 1997, he sold a script called "The Boondock Saints" to Mirimax and went from bartender to instant indie auteur. His star turn was brief; Duffy flamed out on alcohol and boorish behavior — a bravura performance captured in the documentary "Overnight." "Who is this jerk?" Duffy wonders aloud at one point. The jerk in question: Jerry Bruckheimer. Meanwhile, "The Boondock Saints" tanked at the box office, and Duffy's exit was as sudden as his arrival.
But his violent film, about two Irish brothers from Boston who say a devout prayer and go on a vigilante rampage to extinguish sinners, lived on, becoming a cult hit on video. Soon there were "Boondock" viewing parties and themed merchandise for sale. And so, a decade later, Duffy has returned with a sequel, "The Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day." This time, he's been granted an official release, a premiere party and the chance to commiserate with all those college kids who quote "Boondock Saints" lines in their dorm room.
Speakeasy caught up with Duffy as he was boarding a plane to Minneapolis, one of the cities where the film is opening this weekend.
The Wall Street Journal: The first "Boondock Saints" movie made a paltry $30,000 at the box office. What happened?
Troy Duffy: First of all, our press screenings were two weeks after Columbine. Movie studios were stopping production on anything that depicted violence. Nobody was taking the risk. I put it out in five theaters with my money. They were not good theaters. There was literally no promotion. It's a miracle it made 30 grand.
How did the film become a cult sensation?
Blockbuster gave us an exclusive release. Virtually immediately, it's rocking and selling well. I'm going to Blockbuster stores and every copy is rented. It was a bunch of small realizations until, wow, it hit me, we got a cult thing here. We opened a Web site to communicate with fans and sell merch based on the first film.
Why do you think the "Boondocks" films resonate?
I have no idea. If I knew that I'd emulate it every time. Some like the relationship between the brothers; some had a friend like Rocco in high school; some like the religious imagery. What I believe is part of it is every time we see something truly disgusting on the news –- someone killed a four year-old girl or something -– no matter who you are you have that instant feeling of aggression. This person committed a heinous crime and should be removed from the gene pool.
Around the time you were making the first "Boondock" film, you appeared on camera insulting some of Hollywood's biggest players. Do you regret it?
Are you talking about the film "Overnight?" It's weird for me to answer questions about that because it's a deception front to back. They edited something in a very sensationalistic way that had me acting like an a**hole. They didn't put those statements in context.
Did you think you'd get a chance to make a second film?
Yes, I believe it's what I was meant to do.
Nine years passed between the two movies. How did you spend that time?
Mainly in a lawsuit. Once we all came to the realization that "Boondock" was successful, we sued the people who financed and distributed the movie. It was a sprawling lawsuit. The basic allegation was the movie was grossing well over its meager $6 million budget, but we weren't being paid. The lawsuit was settled out of court.
Did the cult success of the first give you leverage in making the second?
It did on the budget. We walked away from two deals because my number on the budget was $8 million. I thought we could make a worthwhile sequel for that. I said, we're going to get it eventually — and we did.
What are you planning next? A third "Boondocks" movie?
During my down time I wrote five scripts, including the "Boondocks" sequel. The next four I'll knock down like dominoes. The next one is a black comedy. The one after that is a psychological action drama. Then I want to do a fantastical comic book kind of thing, and the fourth is on a historical figure.
Are you older and wiser about the movie industry now?
There's a politics to the business that I didn't know about before. I have learned how to do that now. I reserve my passion for the creative side of things.

HistoryLink has published another new neighborhood article, this time on the Washington Park Arboretum. A few highlights…
The park was planned as part of the city's first Bicycle Master Plan, at a time when 1 of 5 Seattleites traveled by bike:
George F. Cotterill (1865-1958), then an assistant city engineer, laid out a system of bicycle trails in the city to serve the riders of the estimated 10,000 bicycles in Seattle (with a population of slightly more than 55,000 in 1898). One of the bike paths started at the top of Capitol Hill near Volunteer Park and traveled down the hill through the Interlaken area and into Washington Park.
Azalea Way was once full of horses:
The Speedway, a 40-foot-wide, dirt-covered roadway in the middle of the park, was built in 1907 for horse racing. Before cars became ubiquitous in the 1910s, the Speedway and stables that a racing club built were regularly filled with horses, drivers, and spectators for harness races.
The 520 on and off ramps were supposed to be temporary:
The ramps onto and exiting the highway were connected to Lake Washington Boulevard as a temporary measure until the expressway, named the R. H. Thomson Expressway in honor of a longtime, influential city engineer, could be constructed. The Seattle Times reported in 1963, as the new highway and bridge across the lake opened, that "the portion of Lake Washington Boulevard East through the Arboretum will be used as a temporary access route."

If you thought dirty public toilets inhabited by dogs are something only Indian citizens have to put up with, think again! Reports of chefs-de-mission of international sporting teams being greeted by filthy flats in the newly-built Commonwealth Games Village (which the organising committee chairman Kalmadi claims is world-class) prove that the malaise extends all over.
What is even more shocking is that no official involved with the Commonwealth Games bothered to check out the rooms in the Village before showing them to the heads of international teams participating in the event which will begin on October 3. Even the owner of the humblest house in India will check out whether the toilet is clean and working before taking a prospective tenant around!

Four ways the British Public is completely wrong about the British Public
Some brilliant research by the Royal Statistical Society looked at how much the public actually knows about… well, itself. The answer? Not a lot.
They published a list of their top ten biggest misconceptions about key social issues. Here's the four most jaw-dropping ways the public gets its statistics completely wrong:
1. We have NO IDEA how many young teenage girls get pregnant
2. We think there are WAY MORE old people than there actually are
3. And that's nothing compared to how wrong we are about Muslims. We think there are SOOOOO MANY Muslims
4. Also we are TOTALLY OUT TO LUNCH when trying to guess how many benefit fraudsters there are
Key takeaway from this: excellent job, media and politicians! You have successfully convinced us we live in a complete fantasy world

DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings have lost another defenceman to an injury.
Red Wings general manager Ken Holland says Ian White will be out two to three weeks after having surgery Wednesday to repair a deep leg laceration. Holland says some muscles in White's leg had to be reattached during the surgery. White was hurt during Detroit's 2-1 loss to Dallas on Tuesday night.
Holland expects defenceman Jakub Kindl to play Friday at home against Minnesota and hopes defenceman Jonathan Ericsson will be in the lineup against the Wild.
The Red Wings will be without defenceman Carlo Colaiacovo for about a month with a shoulder injury. They tried to bolster their blue line on Tuesday by signing 33-year-old defenceman Kent Huskins to a one-year contract.

They were running a little late (only about 5 minutes) but I didn't mind as they let me know and gave me a drink. The therapist was lovely - she was very friendly and professional - and the wax was done with great care, was not very uncomfortable (comparatively!) and the result was great. Most importantly I usually suffer so badly from bumps and general redness following a Brazilian and this time around it's been far less red and sensitive than normal. I'm not sure how that is but am delighted and will definitely be using them in future.

Sitting in the Tyrrhenian Sea north of Sicily, the island of Stromboli is a uniquely beautiful place, draped with lush vegetation and graced with charming beaches. It also is home to the Stromboli volcano � a constantly restless volcano whose frequent, brief eruptions toss glowing fragments of lava into the sky so frequently it has earned the nickname of the �Lighthouse of the Mediterranean�.
Stromboli has been active for at least 2000, and is considered relatively benign � so much so that tourists often gather on the rim of an older, non-active crater less than 250 m (820 ft) away to watch the low-level volcanic activity. While typically gentle, Stromboli has had violent eruptions in the past which has destroyed property and even taken lives.
On August 5, deformation on the outer flanks of the northeast crater was detected, along with very high levels of explosive activity and strong degassing, leading the alert status to be raised to �elevated�. Access to the summit was closed to visitors. By August 7, an abundant effusive flow of new lava poured from northern side of the northeast crater, likely accompanied by a collapse of the crater as well as several landslides. The lava flow reached the sea on several fronts, according to Volcano Discovery. Stromboli has experienced effusive flows in the past, but they are not as frequent as the typical low-level explosive eruptions.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of activity at Stromboli on August 9. A thick plume rises from the volcano and is blown to the southeast, towards mainland Italy. Ash and gas have also spread to the south and southwest, over the more southerly Aeolian Islands and towards Sicily.

AbstractA collection of recent papers revisit how to quantify the relationship between information and work in the light of modern information theory, so-called single-shot information theory. This is an introduction to those papers, from the perspective of the author. Many of the results may be viewed as a quantification of how much work a generalized Maxwell's daemon can extract as a function of its extra information. These expressions do not in general involve the Shannon/von Neumann entropy but rather quantities from single-shot information theory. In a limit of large systems composed of many identical and independent parts the Shannon/von Neumann entropy is recovered.

I don't hear much talk on the 2100 series clear coat. I thought all the clears were the same once they are dry and the solvents are gone...If this is true, why not save a bit of money and use the 2100 series clear or one of the the 2020 euro clears, rather then the more costly universal and ms? I understand that the ms and universal will remain easier to buff, however if you're going to doulbe clear why not complete the first session with a less costly clear coat? If you are going to cap it anyway, why spend the extra on ms or universal on the first session? If every other manufacturer makes clear that "hardens up" and many are used to using those types, why not just use the 2100 series clear which has the best price or the 2020 euro in either configuration? Thanks for the help, Dan.
No announcement yet.
clear coat selections
new posts
Many times i will use euro on my jobs until the last session then i will switch to universal. I dont really do it because of cost. The euro is harder so when i have a job with 12 coats it doesnt leave me with a thick soft clear film. Keeps the clear from squishing from under screw head, etc.all spi gallery: www.xtremekreations.com
If you are going to buff right away, why not just use euro 2020 or 2100 series clear? I don't hear much talk on the 2100 series clear, and it's the most affordable clear choice. If they all are polys, and the dried finish is the same and if you're going to polish right away or double clear, why not save some money?
Dan, I had the chance to spray about 2/3 of a gallon of the 2100 about a week ago during Biketoberfest. The 2100 clear sprays very well and is relatively hard to run. If I were painting regularly again this is how I would choose my clear:
2100 for cut-ins, spot, panel work, lower budget overalls.
Euro 2020 for all production work and higher end overalls that need higher scratch resistance.
Universal for restoration or extreme duty (marine, aviation) or when long term buffability is needed.
I do like Jim's technique of using Euro for first stage then flow coating with Universal. Makes good sense IMO
Rodman, why would you use 2100 for lower budget projects?...It's a poly clear and when dry isn't it just as durable as all the other choices? If you are doing a restoration and you're gong to buff right away, why not use 2100 or euro clear? Especially if you're restoring and selling the car and you don't have to be buffing it down the road. Seems like a great way to save money by using 2100 or euro clear...what am I missing here?
I think ur idea is fine Dan. I would use the euro on a marine before i would universal or ms anyday since its harder. Soft clear and a watercraft dont mix imo. Personally ive started using 2.1 Euro onNumber one reason for failure in small /new business is treating the money like it is yours.... Quote from Shine!!
everything in the last year. That clear is bad ass in my opinion. I still love the Universal, however on dark colors, bikes etc I just love the Euro!!Number one reason for failure in small /new business is treating the money like it is yours.... Quote from Shine!!
I cannot remember Barry ever recommending the Euro or 2100 for resto or marine use. I would guess that part of the reason is the multiple iso's in the Universal giving it an edge in durability and chip resistance. There may be other additives that he uses in the Universal that he doesn't in the production clears. Maybe Barry can explain it better.

The Foo Fighters are going on hiatus.
Which means Dave Grohl can devote time to his seven side projects, nine guest-drumming jobs, and six fill-in drummer tours with other bands.
The Foos closed the Reading Festival in Leeds on Monday, and, according to Grohl, it was the Grammy-winning rockers' final concert for the foreseeable future.
"Well, well, well, the (expletive) Reading Festival" the Foos' frontman chatted with the crowd. "You guys realize we've got a lot of songs to play. It's the last show of the tour and it's the last show for a long time.''
Technically that's not true, as the band has a few shows scheduled in September. You know rock stars -- they like to act all dramatic. He did not shed any more light on the band's future.
Grohl, apparently in a nostalgic mood, dedicated the band's respective performances of "Walk" and "Monkey Wrench" to his daughters Violet and Harper, according to NME, and then gave a shout-out to former Nirvana mates Krist Novoselic and the late Kurt Cobain before launching into "These Days."
The 43-year-old family man also got the audience to sing "Happy Birthday" to his mother, noting that the crowd gathered to see Nirvana at the fest in 1992 did the same.
"Here's your chance," he said as the crowd duly burst into song.
The band, which recently played the Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco, will play Rock the Vote in Charlotte, N.C., on Sept. 5, during the Democratic National Convention, then Music Midtown Festival in Atlanta Sept. 21 and DeLuna Fest in Pensacola, Fla.

ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Ad
Hong Kong's Holiday Inn Golden Mile has a novel approach to the check-in process: an app for iPhones and iPads that lets you check in straight from the airport, so you need only sign the registration papers once you arrive at the hotel.
Once you arrive at Hong Kong International Airport, fire up the app and connect to the airport's free wifi network, then tap "Express Check In" on the top left-hand side.
Enter a couple of basic details, hit "send" and off goes your registration to the hotel.
(Don't worry about the "already" part there -- that's a common Chinese to English mistranslation that many frequent travellers will recognise.)
When you arrive in Kowloon after a quick trip into town, your paperwork will be waiting for you at the hotel's front desk.
Top tip: the app asks for your Priority Club loyalty program number and booking reference, so it's probably a good idea to note them down on a piece of paper while you're on the plane, then tap them in during the walk to passport control or while waiting for your luggage.
Download the app (it's free, but all the hotel and bar pics make it a relatively hefty 12.7 MB in size) from the iTunes store: Australia | US | Hong Kong

Night-time on Venus
Jan 18, 2001
Astronomers observing the night side of Venus were surprised to find emissions from oxygen atoms as strong as those from aurora in the Earth's atmosphere. The discovery is puzzling because the Venusian atmosphere is very different to our own - it contains very little oxygen and is dominated by carbon dioxide. Tom Slanger and co-workers of SRI International in the US believe their find will provide astronomers with new insights into the atmosphere on our closest neighbouring planet (T G Slanger et al 2001 Science 291 463).
During the day, solar radiation excites atoms and molecules in the atmospheres of Earth and Venus to higher energy levels. As darkness falls, the atoms and molecules drop to lower energy states and emit radiation - this is 'nightglow'. Slanger's team used the Keck I telescope in Hawaii to study two distinct emission lines in the nightglow of Venus: green light emitted by atomic oxygen as it drops from a higher to a lower excited state, and red light subsequently emitted as it falls further to its ground state. In theory, every green emission could be followed by a red emission, but this only happens above an altitude of 200 km. Below this level the lower excited states are 'quenched' by collisions with other atoms and molecules.
Astronomers expect to see much greater levels of red emission because they believe that daytime solar energy breaks up carbon dioxide molecules high in the Venusian atmosphere to produce atomic oxygen that is mainly in its lower excited state. However, they found that the green emission is eight times stronger than the red emission. This could mean that the green light comes from a different process deeper in the Venusian atmosphere. Alternatively, scientists may need to modify their theories of the how excited states of oxygen are created and transported through the atmosphere.
The green line intensity of Venus is comparable with that from aurora on Earth - a phenomenon produced as the terrestrial magnetic field interacts with the solar wind. But the atmospheres of the two planets are enormously different in composition, temperature and pressure. "A green line does not mean that a planet has an oxygen atmosphere because Venus has extremely low levels of oxygen", Slanger told PhysicsWeb. This result has implications for researchers studying the atmospheres of extra-solar planets.
The team also hopes its findings may shed light on the apparent variability of the emission lines: the Russian Venera orbiters visited Venus in 1975 and found no sign of the green signal. "We do not understand how the variability can be this large", said Slanger, although the team speculates that the fluctuations could be connected with the solar cycle.

Glen Andresen's Five Takeaways vs. Boston
Sunday, 02.19.2012 / 5:38 PM CT / Minnesota Wild | Features
By Glen Andresen - Manager of Social Media
Feb. 18: at St. Louis
Feb. 16: vs Winnipeg
Feb. 14: vs. Anaheim
Feb. 11: vs. Columbus
Feb. 9: vs. Vancouver
Niklas Backstrom…wow!
As far as goaltending performances in Minnesota Wild regular season history, this has to be up there among the best. Backstrom's brilliance was enough to diffuse a struggling and angry Boston Bruins team.
His career-high 48-save performance in a 2-0 shutout victory in front of a packed house and national television audience was the perfect way to snap a seven-game losing skid, and provide a bit of hope heading into the final 23 games of the season.
Obviously, when a goalie has 48 saves, he's solid from start to finish, but Backstrom was making difficult saves for 60 minutes. He'd make the first save, and if there was a rebound, he recovered so quickly and made that save. He came up with stops on breakaways as well. And in the third, he came up with a highlight reel glove save that left Milan Lucic slamming his stick in disgust.
"For him to look like that and make those saves early in the game gives us a lot of confidence the rest of the way," said Head Coach Mike Yeo.
The afternoon belonged to Backstrom, but he's going to have to share the spotlight with today's goal scorers, simply because of where they were born.
Eden Prairie native Chad Rau, who was called up today to replace Warren Peters, who was suspended by the NHL for one game due to an incident in yesterday's game, opened the scoring. Skating up the left side, he looked like he would make a pass into the slot before sniping a shot past Tim Thomas, who couldn't have been more surprised than if President Obama showed up at his front door.
That's Rau's second career NHL goal. His first came on Hockey Day Minnesota, and this one comes on Hockey Day in America. Yeo should make sure he's in the lineup for Hockey Day in North America, Hockey Day in the Western Hemisphere and Hockey Day Universe.
The other goal scorer was Moorhead's Matt Cullen, who had been searching for a goal the last 16 games. He may have found the secret. He needs to fan on his first shot from now on, because that was enough to get Thomas to commit. That left a big opening for Cullen to fire one into the gaping net and get that monkey off his back.
Despite his long slump, Cullen has equaled his total of 12 goals from last year and looks primed to easily surpass that. He was very good tonight, playing 19:51 and winning 11 of 18 faceoffs.
We all saw how tough this Boston team was during their run to the Stanley Cup last year, and things haven't changed much. Their guys are beasts out there. Zdeno Chara and Milan Lucic look like if they played full-contact Pom Pom Pullaway, they would leave a wake of withered bodies littering their paths to the other side.
But Wild players didn't back down from these beasts. Agitator Brad Marchand was pretty invisible. And Matt Kassian was willing to brawl with Shawn Thornton, who is one scary dude. And it was quite a duel that ended with Thornton bloodied.
If there was a game to spark a run and get these Wild players back to fighting for one another, this was it. The only problem is we have to wait until Thursday to see if it carries over.
I'll go on record as saying that Doc Emrick is far and away my third favorite play-by-play voice in any sport (behind only Dan Terhaar and Bob Kurtz, obviously). So I'm willing to give the Doc a pass on his minor flub of the "Let's Play Hockey" declaration prior to today's opening faceoff.
Instead of "Let's Play Hockey," Emrick shouted "Let's Go Play Hockey" and threw off the rhythm of the fans. Emrick apparently profusely apologized on air and also expressed his apology to members of the media.
Let's face it, Emrick is the man, and we'll let this one slide. I mean, we've lived through Adrian Peterson's butchering of it, and our former Governor dropping the F-bomb, so we can certainly forgive this one.

Angel blood

Angel blood is technically the blood of an angel's human vessel like demon blood, It's unknown if it contains any supernatural properties. It's in the form of a contraction from an occupied angel's vessel. If like demons, angel would possess their vessel's blood routes and canals. The presence of an angel may change the blood somewhat as Castiel is unable to use his own blood in a ritual that requires human blood and his blood as a Fallen Angel proves to be part of the Bone Of Righteous Mortal Washed In the Three Bloods of Fallen that can kill a Leviathan.

J Street statement on terrorist attack in Jerusalem
March 5th, 2009
J Street's Executive Director Jeremy Ben-Ami issued the following statement following news reports of a terrorist attack in Jerusalem:
J Street forcefully condemns today's despicable terrorist attack in Jerusalem. Thankfully, bystanders and Israeli police acted quickly to subdue the attacker and were able to keep casualties to a minimum. My thoughts and prayers are with the injured and those targeted. We hope that vigorous American leadership to bring about a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will soon bring the day that Israelis and Palestinians can live in real peace and security.

so, a friend has emailed me with the following problem - "Almost everyone brought store bought cookies in a plastic
container. So now I've got all these leftover cookies. What can I do
with them. There must be something I could do with them to recycle them
into a fresh dessert? Do you have any ideas? I've got chocolate chip,
white chocolate chip, chocolate chocolate chip, and oatmeal raisin. A
pie crust for some kind of pie?" and I am stuck with what to tell her... Any ideas, other than eating them all plain?

I am completely new to anything that is Linux. I just installed Ubuntu Linux 8.04 from a Live CD to my computer a few minutes ago. Now, I wanted to boot back into Windows, and GRUB 1.5 will not let me. This is what happens: I restart my computer, I choose Windows XP Media Center after GRUB 1.5 lets me pick which OS to boot, and it says "Loading" and nothing ever happens after that. There is never even an error message that pops up. Only Ubuntu will load. How do I fix this problem? I installed Linux on the same drive where Windows was. Is it still there? You don't know HOW much I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me an easy & understanable way how to fix this. I still have my HP Recovery discs, can I use those? Please PLEASE help. I'll give more details if it is necessary…
Everything seems to work fine with GRUB 1.5, then I select Windows XP Media Center (which is the Windows OS I have), and *correction to what I wrote earlier, It says "Starting Up" but It never does. Should I just do an HP Recovery, please help I feel like I really screwed things up please be on the line.

Twitter is the newest and latest trend in social networking. A recent Globe and Mail article by David Pogue explains the Twitter website as a tool to broadcast very short messages – 140 characters, max – to anyone who's signed up to receive them. Short and sweet – now that is a tweet. You can recieve twitter messages through the website, but most people upload free programs that run on their cell phones or come up on their computer screens. Some programs are TweetDeck, Twitterfeed, Twhirl and Twitterific.
We brainstormed some ways Twitter could help you with your job search and even put out a tweet asking our followers. Here are some ideas:
Follow tweets that orginate from job posting sites, such as Go2, a human resources and job posting site for the tourism industry, or The Career Centre's own Twitter site. To find our site just search The Career Centre under the find people tab.
Stay current with what's happening in the economy and the labour market.
Let people know you are looking for work and in what field. Networking is important in the current labour market, and Twitter is a great opportunity to share. This Forbes.com article explains how one person found a job by tweeting a link to his professional blog
And perhaps the most important consideration with social networking, build your reputation to be a desirable employee. As you develop your network, ensure you create a positive reputation for yourself.

The 24-year-old played under current Fulham boss Martin Jol when the pair were at Tottenham, with the Dutchman confirming on Monday evening that a move for the Morocco international was close.
Taarabt, who was relegated with Rangers last season, had expressed a desire not to play in the Championship and has now sealed an immediate return to the top flight with QPR's near neighbours.
Taarabt told the official club website: "This was a difficult decision for me, but at this stage of my career I feel I need to be playing at the top level.
"I hope the fans understand my decision and I really hope to return to Loftus Road one day.
"I wish QPR well for the season and hope they achieve promotion back to where I believe the club belongs."
Jol was responsible for bringing Taarabt to England with Tottenham after signing him from Lens in 2007.
"I like his creativity and, of course, sometimes it comes off when he scores a lot of goals and I think he was involved in 40 goals [during the 2010-11 Championship promotion season]," said Jol.
"It is like Dimitar Berbatov - sometimes these fantastic talents will be blamed but I hope to find a way to gel him in together with the boys we've got.
"I think he can do a hell of a job for us because he is a tremendous player on the ball."
The Moroccan spearheaded QPR's return to the top flight in 2010-11 with 19 goals but struggled to find the net over the next two seasons in the Premier League.
"Remember the fact he was an over £10 million player 12 months ago, so I think you have to take them when they are bad and hopefully he will show his potential here," Jol said.
Taarabt becomes Jol's sixth signing of the summer following permanent moves for defenders Sascha Riether and Fernando Amorebieta, goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg, midfielder Derek Boateng and young forward Ange-Freddy Plumain.

Garage labour rates hit record high
Tuesday 18 September 2012
• Surrey has most expensive independent garages
• Powys has the lowest hourly charges
• Independent garages 48.6 per cent cheaper than franchise on average
The cost of having your car repaired has gone up due to rising labour rates, according to a Warranty Direct report out today.
Labour rates were found to have risen most sharply at small, independent workshops, from an average of £60.68 in 2011 to £64.58 in 2012, an increase of 6.4 per cent.
At main dealers labour rates rose only fractionally, and are now 48.6 per cent more expensive on average than independent garages
National differences for independent garages are pronounced, so it could be worth travelling for routine maintenance. Surrey is the most expensive region, with an hour of work costing £98.27 on average, while owners in Powys, Wales should expect to pay £58.46.
The biggest increases were seen in Cornwall and County Durham, where rates shot up by 12.9 and 11.9 per cent respectively.
Duncan McClure Fisher of Warranty Direct said: "Price hikes continue apace in 2012 and we are now at the point that a simple breakdown could cost an eye watering sum to put right. Some older cars could even be written off by a relatively straightforward mechanical hiccup."
By Andy Goodwin, senior road tester
