Early identification and treatment of learning disabilities is critical to minimizing future problems. TSC specialists stress that anyone diagnosed with TSC should be carefully monitored for developmental weaknesses, even if they show no signs of abnormality at the time of diagnosis. Every three to six months, a neurologist or pediatrician should monitor the development of language as well as gross and fine motor skills of a child with TSC. In addition to this routine physician assessment, TSC specialists recommend that a child between the ages of 12 and 18 months receive a developmental evaluation by a neuropsychologist. It is recommended that subsequent evaluations be conducted again at two to three years of age, and then approximately every three years thereafter or at times of major transitions, such as entering first grade and middle school. Any indication of a cognitive disorder or learning disability suggests the need for intervention, such as occupational, physical, and/or speech therapy.
Children with TSC who show no signs of cognitive problems or learning disabilities generally continue on to mainstream schooling with standard assessments conducted by school personnel and support provided when necessary. Children identified with such difficulties typically enter special education programs and may follow an individualized educational plan (IEP).
An IEP is a written education plan for a student with learning disabilities that is developed by a team of professionals (teachers, therapists, etc.) and the student's parents. An IEP is based on a multidisciplinary evaluation of the student, documenting how the student is currently doing, what the student's learning needs are, and what services the student will need. IEPs are reviewed and updated yearly and give particular consideration to the results of neuropsychological testing and assessment by an educational psychologist. Specialists recommend that students with TSC undergo neuropsychological testing every two to three years and that appropriate adjustments be made to the IEP at that time.
Next Steps
It is important to remember:
- Approximately 60 percent of people with TSC are of broadly defined normal intelligence.
- Severe cognitive impairment affects approximately 40 percent of people with TSC.
- TSC specialists don't know for sure how the disorder results in learning disabilities, but they think that TSC-related seizures might cause cognitive impairment, or that cortical tubers might cause both seizures and cognitive problems.
- Those who have TSC and are of normal intelligence run a higher risk than the general population for some learning disabilities.
- TSC may impact an individual's ability to learn by affecting any of four areas: intelligence, language, executive functioning, and attention.
- Early identification of learning disabilities can enable people who have them to get the assistance they need.
- Assessment of learning disabilities should be formal, objective, and conducted by a qualified neuropsychologist, developmental pediatrician, or psychologist.
- Young people with TSC should be monitored regularly for the development of specific learning problems. If and when these problems are identified, they should be addressed in an appropriate way, which may include an individualized education plan (IEP).
Relevant Specialists
Developmental Pediatrician
A developmental pediatrician is a physician who addresses special needs or special care issues for children with developmental disorders such as TSC.
A neurologist is a physician who specializes in disorders of the nervous system. A neurologist who treats people with TSC is trained to recognize the neurological symptoms and brain abnormalities characteristic of the disorder.
A neuropsychologist is a psychologist with specialized training in brain-behavior relationships and the evaluation of cognitive functions. Neuropsychologists use a battery of standardized tests to assess specific cognitive and behavioral functions and identify areas of cognitive impairment as they relate to brain functioning. A neuropsychologist who treats people with TSC is knowledgeable about the specific cognitive and behavioral issues that are common to the disorder and knows what treatment options are most effective for these issues.
A psychologist is a professional who has earned a doctoral degree in psychology and has undergone clinical training. He or she is a specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of mental and emotional problems. His or her role involves evaluation, testing, counseling, and/or psychotherapy, without the use of medications.
You can find a list of on-staff physicians on the Herscot Center for Children and Adults with TSC Web site.

Theres little doubt that both unrefined cocoa powder and dark chocolatesthose containing 60 percent or more cocoaare good for heart health.
Thanks to a wealth of research in recent years, scientists believe, with a high degree of certainty, that unrefined cocoa and dark chocolate alike produce four effects beneficial to cardiovascular health, each of which are known to result when antioxidants neutralize free radicals in the blood:
- Keep arteries relaxed. Free radicals prompt the endothelial cells that line our arteries to send contract, please signals to surrounding muscle, thereby narrowing the artery and increasing the risk of heart attack.
- Reduce the risk of dangerous blood clots. Bone marrow cell fragments called blood platelets clump together in response to internal or external bleeding, to help form clots that can stem the flow. Free radicals increase the tendency of platelets to aggregate into clumps, while antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents like aspirin and ginger reduce unhealthful clotting.
- Reduce oxidation of LDL cholesterol in the blood. This helps prevent it from adhering to artery walls and oxidizing other blood fats.
- Raise blood levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. HDL carries cholesterol back to the liver (where it was produced), to be passed from the body. HDL may also remove excess cholesterol from plaque in arteries. A high level of HDL (i.e., over 45 mg/dL) and a high ratio of HDL to total cholesterol reduces the risk of heart attacks.
This information gap meant that people could not be directed to consume other foods or beverage containing the beneficial compound(s), nor could any be isolated for possible use as drug-like preventive agents.
Now, the results of a recent Harvard-run research project in Panama appear to have put any and all doubts to rest.
New study finds chocolates main heart hero
Now, findings from two well-designed research studies, reported just last month, provide very strong support for this hypothesis with regard to the artery-relaxing effects of cocoa. Better yet, they identify the specific antioxidant polyphenol that does most of the heavy antioxidant lifting to protect heart health.
A research team led by Norman Hollenberg, M.D. Ph.D. of Harvard Medical School recruited volunteers among the Kuna Indians, who live on the San Blas islands off the coast of Panama. High blood pressure and other signs of cardiovascular disease are rare among the Kuna, who consume three to four cups of flavanol-rich cocoa every day.
And, previous studies carried out by Dr. Hollenberg's team found that Kuna who migrated to the mainland drink much less cocoaonly about four cups per weekand do not enjoy the same high level of cardiovascular health.
The new controlled clinical studies, which employed a randomized double-blind cross-over designthe most rigorous methodology possibleexamined the effect of four different drinks on vascular (blood vessel) relaxation among the Kuna volunteers:
- Study #1 compared the vascular impact of two specially prepared cocoa drinks: one low in cocoa flavanols versus one high in cocoa flavanols;
- Study #2 compared the vascular impact of two drinks: one containing no flavanols, versus one that contained just one cocoa flavanol, called epicatechin.
The results of the second study showed that only the group given the drink containing isolated, cocoa-derived epicatechin
enjoyed blood vessel relaxation similar to that seen in the group that drank the flavanol-rich cocoa.
The cocoa-derived epicatechin was reported to increase the levels of nitric oxide in subjects blood, compared to those who drank cocoa beverages with low flavanol levels. Nitric oxide relaxes the muscles surrounding blood vessels, thereby widening them and increasing blood flow. This observation supports earlier findings that suggested a link between cocoas antioxidants and increased nitric oxide production.
As study Dr. Hollenberg said, Pinpointing specific nutrients responsible for the observed cardiovascular effects [of cocoa], as we are seeing here with epicatechin, opens up new possibilities for the development of dietary interventions for cardiovascular disease.
It is important to emphasize that epicatechin is not the only strong antioxidant in cocoa and dark chocolate: its just that this study proves that at least one cocoa polyphenola compound abundant in tea and berries, as wellis highly effective at enhancing key aspects of cardiovascular health.
Tea and berries are good: Is dark chocolate better?
Unrefined cocoa is the uncontested champion when it comes to sheer antioxidant content, with dark chocolates offering about five times more antioxidant capacity than blueberries or green tea. As the authors of one comparative analysis said, These results suggest that cocoa is more beneficial to health than teas and red wine in terms of its higher antioxidant capacity.
But its not clear whether the total antioxidant capacity of a food is always more important than its specific mix of antioxidants, and this may depend on the characteristics of the antioxidants in relation to someones individual health condition.
For example, an ounce of chocolate exceeds the antioxidant capacity of a cup of green tea considerably. But tea contains high levels of a very beneficial anti-cancer antioxidant called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is completely absent from dark chocolate. Accordingly, dark chocolate may be the better protector of heart-health, while tea is probably a more powerful anti-cancer ally.
Chocolates one-two antioxidant punch
Raw cocoa, and extra-dark chocolates like ours, are usually rich in both of two highly beneficial, closely related types of polyphenol antioxidants:
- Flavan-3-ols: These include the epicatechin and catechin that make white, green, and black tea heart-healthy. Certain onesnotably the EGCG in green and white teapossess anti-cancer properties.
- Proanthocyanidins: Flavan-3-ols (i.e., catechin, epicatechin) can link up to form these powerfully antioxidant compounds, which are most abundant in cocoa, dark chocolate, and red wine.
They didnt define antioxidant-rich, but it is likely that they had in mind typical dark chocolate, with only 60 percent cocoas solids, versus our extra-dark 80 percent cocoa bars.
If so, it would take only two-thirds of one ounce of our chocolate to produce the desire effect. And it seems very likely that regular consumption of even smaller amounts would yield substantial beneficial effects over the long term.

TNEB 600 A.E.Recruitment Corruption Reg
TNEB Recruit 600 Assitant Engineer (A.E) Selection list announced on 6th July 2012.The TNEB Minister and TNEB Chairman to Sale the A.E Post 14 to 16 Lakhs.Mostly we select only 2001 to 2006 Persons (The Old A.I.A.DM.K Govt Period).
But we call for Interview from 1988 to 2000 through Employment Exchange, and 2001 to 2012 TNEB Apprenticeship Complete Persons.
TNEB is Not consider the
Employment Seniority.
TNEB Apprenticeship Completion.
Additional qualification.
TNEB Consider Only 14 to 16 Lakhs Money for A.E Post. But we show the selection is purely mark percentage wise. But the selection list tells minimum percentage is 52% and maximum percentage is 91%.
In every minimum and maximum percentage sufficient Candidate available and attend the interview in the entire category (FC/BC/MBC/SC/ST).
From 1998 to Till Date, every 3 years the numbers of engg college increase, so how to calculate the percentage criteria in every year. Its vary to every year. After 2000 the engg college list increases it.
The TNEB Chairman & Minister Decide only recruit fresher. Why we call the interview to 1988 to 2000 Batches.
TNEB & Tamilnadu Govt Cheat (Looting) the recruitment procedure. Please close the executive employment exchange office. There is no use it is only data collection center.
I attend the interview 6 th Time (the past 18 years), I complete TNEB Apprenticeship also. Seniority wise, department wise (Computer engg) and community wise (SC) I am the first persons. But I am not selected.
In every time TNEB tells different, different story. Totally I depressed. Noone politician or political party or media (newspaper, magazine and TV Channels) not consider this.We consider only srilankan tamilan, president election, nithyanda and emu farms advertisement.
I enclose TNEB Selection list details and advt.you go to google search it number of comments about this recruitment.
I afraid about this government because unnecessary torture and disturbance raise it. So I mask I identity.
Note Suppose you want to fresher why you sit in the Minister and chairman chair and enjoy the corruption benefit.
In whatever I tell it is not possible to cancel the recruitment. At the maximum minister and chairman resign it. But we dont bother about it. Both of them we collect not only 600 persons.
The minister, MP, MLA, Local AIADMK Persons & EB Chair Persons collect nearly 2000 persons for different amount from 10 Lakhs to 16 Lakhs. we collect nearly 200 crores (Home,Land and Kadu vithu koduthu yemanthavan nearly 1400 peyar Iruppan)

Re: TNEB 600 A.E.Recruitment Corruption Reg
I send the 22 questions to TNEB for tneb A.E recruitment selection process but we give controversy answers i feel that. For example we are not considering experience. We treat all the persons are same (we call from interview 1989 to 2011 batch students). I hear the news some unattended interview persons are selected based on 17 Lakhs Money (Corruption).TNEB Created Forgery document. some questions we are not give the answers for Quoted RTI ACT F Rule.
We easily prove that corruption follow this method from TNEB call letter dispatch date to till date the present selection candidate & family financial transaction enquire it we easily prove malpractice, but who can do that?

Liquavista has been working on their electrowetting technology for awhile now, doing what they can to improve the technology and implement it in new ideas. Their latest use of the tech is the company's brand new flexible displays, which the company is very proud of. They've put a small announcement regarding the flexible displays on the front page of their webpage, as well as a video that you can find after the cut.
Liquavista says that the new flexible displays are fully capable of displaying colors, and that they feature a very high refresh rate. And, as we've come to expect from most flexible displays, it won't be as power hungry as a regular display. The company also boasts that you'll be able to read what's on the display easily enough, no matter the lighting condition you find yourself.
And, as the title suggests, the company believes that their new flexible displays are unbreakable. Of course, that's a relative term that some may use in a different way than some might expect. After all, you don't really see the company putting the display through tests to wage how "unbreakable" it is, but we can see that the display is certainly very flexible. Check out the video below.

Introduction to Comparative Politics
Harrold, Deborah
The past few decades have been marked not only by dramatic political change, but by change that surprised scholars and analysts. The fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of new nationalisms, the expansion of religious politics, the wave of democratization beginning in the 1990s, the end of apartheid, the return of genocide, the Arab Spring. These events have transformed politics. How can we explain them? Comparative politics tackles these questions by considering different explanations – is it about the economy, is it about strategies, is it about history? Is the international situation important, and if so, how does it contribute to the outcome? Working comparatively – by looking at how events happen in more than one nation – is one of the best ways to sharpen our understanding. Our key themes include nationalism, leadership choices, and inclusion of minorities.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Critics are complaining that three
measures pending in the Kentucky legislature could undo key
provisions of the state's mine safety law.
One would sharply reduce inspections performed by the Kentucky
Office of Mine Safety and Licensing. Another would would cut the
number of medics on duty at small mines. And the other would strike
a provision that requires ventilation fans to run continuously in
underground mines to prevent the buildup of explosive gases.
"It this were to pass, it would be signing the death warrants
of hundreds of coal miners across this state," charged United Mine
Workers of America representative Steve Earle. "If they get away
with this, God help the Kentucky coal miners."
Kentucky Coal Association President Bill Caylor challenged
Earle's contention, saying the measures are intended to help small
mining companies survive in a tough economic climate and pose no
added dangers for miners.
"This is a smoke screen for the union," Caylor said. "They
have no concern for safety. Their main concern is to put the small
operator out of business, because it's nearly impossible to
unionize a small mine."
Mine safety advocate Tony Oppegard said Kentucky's mine safety
law is clearly "under attack" only two years after it was
The Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee on Wednesday
approved the measure that Oppegard said would change a provision of
the state's mine safety act that requires at least six state
inspections per year of every coal mine.
Under the proposal, Oppegard said, mines could effectively go an
entire year without a single inspection.
State Sen. Tom Jensen, chairman of the natural resources
committee, said Wednesday the measure still would require
inspectors to visit mines six times a year, but the visits could
involve other activities like mine rescue training.
"We think you can do both at the same time," Jensen said
Wednesday. "I don't see it as being that harmful."
Oppegard, a Lexington attorney who formerly worked for state and
federal mine regulatory agencies, said the measure "guts" the
state's mine safety law by removing one of its most important
Earle joined Oppegard in Frankfort on Wednesday to rail against
changes to the state's mine safety law, which was enacted following
a series of underground disasters.
In all, 16 miners were killed on the job in Kentucky in 2006.
Five of the deaths were from a single Harlan County underground
mine explosion. Nationwide, 73 miners were killed on the job that
year, including 12 in a methane explosion at the Sago Mine in West
Congress and coal state legislatures reacted by revamping mine
safety laws in 2007.
Earle said he fears the coal industry now is pressing lawmakers
to undo certain provisions of those laws.
"That is so absolutely false," Caylor said. "It's utterly ridiculous."
A measure sponsored by Jensen would lift a requirement that
ventilation fans be kept running continuously, a provision included
in the 2007 mine safety reforms. Such fans keep air flowing through
underground mines to prevent methane gas from accumulating to
explosive levels.
The proposal passed the Senate last month 37-0 and is awaiting
in the House along with another controversial proposal sponsored by
state Rep. Keith Hall, D-Phelps. That measure calls for reducing
the number of medics required at small mines from two to one. It
has been approved by a House committee and is awaiting a vote on
the House floor.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, said Wednesday he's
not sure when the medic proposal will be called for a floor vote.
Hall said he doesn't intend to push for a vote until after he has
discussed the measure with opponents, including the United Mine
Earle called on Gov. Steve Beshear to intervene on behalf of
miners and ask lawmakers to shelve the proposals, or, if they were
to pass, to veto them.
"Gov. Beshear promised us when he was campaigning that he was
committed to make sure that our coal miners have a safe place to
work," Earle said. "We want him to step up to the plate."
Beshear spokesman Jay Blanton said the governor is indeed
committed to mine safety and is monitoring the situation in the
The measures are Senate Bill 64, Senate Bill 170, House Bill

The Shape I'm In
by J.R.Robertson. Album: Stage Fright
© 1970 Canaan Music, Inc.
For an analysis of the lyrics, and more, see D L Lewis' article on "Shape I'm In".
Go out yonder, peace in the valley
Come downtown, have to rumble in the alley
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Has anybody seen my lady
This living alone will drive me crazy
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
C Dm Em Dm(E bass) C
I'm gonna go down by the wa - ter
C Dm Em Dm(E bass)
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no
C Dm Em Dm(E bass)
I'll just be looking for my mak - er
And I hear that that's where she's been? Oh!
Out of nine lives, I spent seven
Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
I just spent 60 days in the jailhouse
For the crime of having no dough
Now here I am back out on the street
For the crime of having nowhere to go
Save your neck or save your brother
Looks like it's one or the other
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Now two young kids might start a ruckus
You know they feel you trying to shuck us
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Is 700C Concept Chrysler's Next Minivan? (Slideshow)
Chrysler Group LLC unveiled a concept vehicle called the 700c at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Behind its unusual styling and rounded, elongated leaf-like windows, the vehicle is a minivan. What's not yet clear is whether it is "the" minivan.
Sergio Marchionne, head of Chrysler Group LLC and Fiat SpA, said a year ago that he wanted to "re-think" Chrysler's minivans and roll out a new concept as early as 2013. Now the 700C, a departure from the mostly boxy vans on the market today, looks like it could be a vision of future people movers.
Marchionne made last year's comments while touring Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario, plant where it builds the current Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan minivans. At the time he spoke of big plans for the factory and said he has no plans to give up any of the company's share of the van segment.
Minivans have been Chrysler's signature product and much of the company's bread and butter ever since its first models gained a following in the 1980s. Today, though, many consumers who would be good candidates for vans wind up buying crossovers and SUVs instead. Except for getting larger, heavier and packing in what seems like an absurd number of cup holders, minivans haven't evolved much in more than 25 years on the market.
A vehicle like the 700C could help change the segment's image, but the company revealed little about it. More information may come during a press conference scheduled tomorrow.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Quaint little race, hard enough to challenge but well worth doing.In full: With two killer hills just after the 4 and 7 Km markers and many other 'undulations' this is certainly a testing course.However the free parking, traffic free route and friendly atmosphere make it a must do on the calendar.There seemmed to be a fair mix of abilities, and not too many club vests. The winning time was good for the course, but there were plenty of those not so quick that made this event beginner friendly.All in all? A nice little race!!Date of review: September 18, 2011
In short: No frills 5 miler, worth a trip to get a new PBIn full: As you can see from my comment on the thread I had reservations about the change of venue, as it happens I was pleasantly surprised. I accept and agree that running over the same ground three times can be disheartening, but feel that in this case it worked well. It gave the spectators plenty of opportunity to provide support. Especially my girlfriend who tends to be very loud.It was quite a mixed field, and so should appeal to everyone. However if you're a slower runner you need to be aware that faster people will lap you.We always stay behind a little while at the end to encourage the slower runners, it's nice to see them smile even though they're obviously working hard. The faster runners always seem to be in a rush to get away, and in this case they had to pass people who were still racing without even a nod or a word of encouragement; come on guys it doesn't do any harm just to say 'Well done' or even the dreaded 'Keep going nearly there'.Facilities in the grounds were limited but fortunately it wasn't raining.I was surprised that we couldn't get access to Broadlands until 9.30, this meant that people were starting their warm up around the roads, I feel that a little earlier would have been preferable.I wouldn't be surprised to see a few comments regarding the stretch of the route that wasn't on tarmac, it was quite rutted. The organisers had gone to the extent of placing a few cones next to the worst potholes. With a little care it didn't pose any problems.Even at this price it would have been nice to see chip timing, I don't imagine it cost too much to stage this race. Am I missing something here?All in all a nice little race without any frills. If the distance is confirmed it would be worth a trip just to try out for a new PB.Date of review: January 25, 2011
In short: Yes a tough race but well worth trying!!In full: This race was well organised with plenty of marshals. The only downside I could see was a lack of toilets. People resorted to the bushes, as usual, but because the race is set in the grounds of a school for young people with disabilities this was rightly frowned upon.I have done this race before but forgot just how hard the 'undulating' course was! I did hear someone at the start say that if you weren't running up a hill then you'd be running down one, that wasn't too far from the truth! But don't let this put you off, go for the challenge!Obviously the good weather made the race slightly harder fort he athletes even if it was good news for spectators.Nice course, 3 water stations, good marshals and a medal what more can you ask for??Date of review: May 17, 2009
In short: Well organised, nice touches, in short a great race.In full: I have to congratulate Reading Road Runners for staging a great event, although I do concur with the comments about the lack of toilet facilities and lack of sports drinks en route.Never the less I found the organisation to be quite slick with some nice little embellishments. They even managed to cope admirably when I arrived with my disabled son and asked if I could park closer to the school. The walk from the car park we saw would have left him physically drained and, as a consequence, in a foul mood. May thanks to the gentleman marshal who worked so hard to sort this for us.Many thanks to all the marshals on the route for the support; I needed it on the second lap! (Didn't we all?).The start was quite tight but well managed, the timing boards helped, although you always get someone who obviously physically is not going to finish in 2hrs 15mins who will inevitably start from that position. The pack soon spread out and everyone settled down very quickly.The route was undulating but not overly taxing, by that I mean no mountains to climb. Traffic light with only the occasional idiot driver. I saw one driver accelerate to overtake a runner then immediately turn left in front of them, coming close to a total wipe-out of the runner.Fairly decent goody bag at the end, novel to get a mug instead of a medal and the milkshake was most appreciated.Date of review: February 16, 2009
In short: No music for you today, if you put the ear phones in I'l have to disqualify youDate of review: December 7, 2008
In short: A once great race brought low!!!In full: I've done this race for a number of years and it used to be in my top three 'best races', but I'm afraid if the course isn't changed again I shan't be back.I understand that the organisers can be constricted by outside pressures but that doesn't excuse poor planning.Parking was a nightmare, ended up with a ticket. The walk to the start was a little further than some people realised causing them to get to the start line late, and it was hard on my girlfriend who has a problem walking even short distances.The holding area at the start was a normal two lane road, but by the time you hit the start line it had reduced to a single lane. Within 100 metres you were forced onto a cycle path barely wide enough for 3 to 4 people. No chance of settling into your race pace or passing all those who don't understand the signs that stated 1hr 10+ and 1hr 25; come on guys it doesn't take a college education!!By the end of the first mile I was 1 min behind schedule, damn hard to recover that when running at the edge of your ability.It wasn't so much as a road race but a 'footpath race'. Members of Gosport council should hang their heads in shame at the state of some of the pavements we ran over today. Don't we get told by RW to avoid running on pavements?I friend of mine was perturbed by the lack of water on the course; it didn't concern me as I always race with a hydration pack but he was none too impressed.The scenery on the course was totally uninspiring. And running around the airbase was soul destroying (never expected to be back there…. Ever!). And some of the switchbacks were a nightmare, I had a guy in front of me who literally stopped dead to turn the corner!!Given the parking problems, the lack of space at the start line, the walk to the start line and bearing in mind all the other negative comments might it have not made more sense to base the race in the abandoned airfield?? Plenty of parking space and the start could have been as big as you like.On the plus side the course is still quite fast, the marshals were plentiful and unfailingly supportive, and the finish area was well organised.Date of review: November 16, 2008
In short: Busy race, but well organised and extremely well run (if you pardon the pun!)In full: We got there early just as the instructions suggested. The start/finish area was well organised and worked very well. There were plenty of toilets, the lack of which is normally a big criticism of many an event.There was plenty of space at the start. I ran the marathon off the back of a very limited training package due to injury, so wasn't looking for a good time. I had decided to start slowly and see how it went. As it happened I managed to run the second half in exactly the same time as the first.The first half wasn't as hilly as I'd expected or been led to believe, I suppose it depends on which other events you've done. My first marathon was on the Isle of Wight! But the second half was as boring as I'd been led to believe. Running up and down the length of the National Sports Centre lake was soul destroying. At least it was flat though!All in all an excellent day out, and regardless of any minor complaints I had a great day.Many thanks to the Marshalls who were fantastic and it was nice to have the spectators on route.Date of review: September 15, 2008
In short: Challenging even without the heat, but still well worth doingIn full: Don't let the fact that this is a Hampshire League Race, it still had something for everyone.Once away from the start you enter some truly beautiful countryside. The heat this year was quite punishing, especially on some of the bigger hills on the course. The course is described as 'undulating', and this it certainly is, so any thoughts of a PB are probably better left at home.The start and finish area is within the grounds of a college, and you get use of the facilities there. It is also a nice area to relax and see the rest of the athletes finish their race.Marshalling was generally very good and there were plenty of them, always a sore point for any organiser. They used the PA to good effect to shout out as many names of finishers as possible, which is always good when you're flagging a bit. Not much of a souvenir (a plastic water bottle) I much prefer a medal. With one or two improvements ie souvenir, perhaps having a burger bar on site, this race could be special.This year on the course entertainment was provided by two female members of the same club having a cat fight whilst coming down a fairly steep hill, as a runner next to me pointed out this was 'a dashed poor show', especially for the club.I only entered this race to pace my old training partner, but I'm glad I did because it was a thoroughly enjoyable event.Date of review: May 11, 2008
In short: Cold, snow, sun, gusts of wind what a day, I wouldn't have missed it!In full: Today had a strange mix of weather as you can see from the one liner above, but it was still well worth turning up for.The sun came out at just the right time, and by the time you got to the finish there were plenty of smiling faces in the crowd.The race was well supported and benefited from a lot of volunteers, running aroud a town on the roads is very volunteer intensive and this race had plenty.Smooth organisation, great attitude from all marshalls and a little local support made this a very enjoyable day.A flat and fast course, not to be missed if you're looking for a PB!Many thanks to all volunteers and anyone involved in the organisation.Date of review: April 6, 2008
In short: Dull, wet and a boring route BUT still worth turning up for!!!!In full: Yes it was wet! Yes it was a dull route! And the field was a quagmire at the end (that probably had something to do with the fact that it was pouring with rain prior to setting off!!), yet I still felt that this race was good value for money.I've been to enough races to know that the organisation was very good and there was positively a legion of marshalls, volunteers, helpers and police for this event, which was possibly the envy of other race organisers!!The leisure centre was rather congested, no doubt because of the rain, but there was a large hall to take cover in, and the chance to grab a hot brew before the race. I found the centre staff to be quite approachable.Even though this was a Hampshire League race and the start line was populated by a plethora of club vests, there still seemed to be a fair mix of athletes so I have no problem in recommending this race to beginners.So the scenery was dull! To be quite honest I was working so hard I barely even noticed, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the sense of being involved, thats all that really matters to me. Just enjoy it!Well done to any first timers, keep it up.Well done also to the organisers, and many thanks to the, what seemed like, hundreds of volunteers.Date of review: April 4, 2008

Idaho Department of Fish and Game and Bureau of Land Management officials have found 10 poisoned meatballs in the Badger Basin area near Salmon.
On Friday, the departments warned people to be careful in the area from Carmen Creek to Tower Creek, particularly if they are out horn hunting with their dogs.
"While we have been able to locate and remove 10 of the poisoned meatballs, we cannot verify that all have been removed," said David Spain, BLM law enforcement officer. "We want people to be aware of the issue before they take any of their animals in the area."
One pet dog was treated by a local vet after it ate poisoned bait. The dog is expected to make a full recovery.
Officials did not know what animals the meatballs were intended to poison.
If you have any information regarding this situation, you are asked to call Citizens Against Poaching at (800) 632-5999.

CrunchBang Is A Speedy, Dark-Themed Linux Desktop
CrunchBang, an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that sports a snappy, low-drag interface and is perfect for thumb drives, live CDs, or speed-obsessed Linux fans. Check out how it looks and runs in our screenshot tour.
Remove U3 To Speed Up Your Flash Drive
Windows only: If you have a U3-enabled flash drive, you might want to skip extra load time and the disk space the software chews up, and the U3 removal tool can help you do just that. U3 is a software bundle stored on a protected partition on a flash drive that emulates a CD-ROM when it's plugged into a Windows machine. While some people like the pre-packaged software and the sometimes expensive software add-ons, many people prefer to assemble their own suite of portable apps without restriction. The removal tool banishes U3 from your drive, reclaims about 6MB of space, and gives you a significant speed increase in load time. After removing the U3 software from a test flash drive, I found that the load time went from between 10-15 seconds, to around 2 seconds. U3 Removal Tool [via Everything USB]
UNetbootin Creates USB-Bootable Linux the Easy Way
Windows and Linux only: Free bootable image creator UNetbootin automates the downloading, imaging, and installing of Linux distributions onto USB thumb drives, creating a persistent, boot-anywhere desktop. We've previously featured rather involved guides to putting Linux on a flash drive, but UNetbootin does it all for you, from downloading the right ISO to setting up a USB stick as a bootable Linux drive. It can also convert almost any bootable ISO, so if you've got an old, smaller thumb drive not seeing much use these days, you can use UNetbootin to install a partition editor, a file-recovering live CD, or the Windows password-cracking Ophcrack. UNetbootin is a free download for Windows XP and higher and Linux systems. UNetbootin [via Tombuntu]
Puppy Linux 4.0 Released
Puppy Linux 4.0 has been released, and the update to the popular Linux on a thumb drive distribution adds scanner and digital camera support and new applications like ePDFView, Pschedule, Pcdripper, and Pburn. See what happened when we took Puppy Linux (3.0) for a walk. [via]
USB AutoRunner Quick-Launches Thumb Drive Apps
Windows only: Freeware application USB AutoRunner automatically launches documents or applications when you plug in your USB thumb drive. We've explained in the past how to auto-run apps or documents when you insert your thumb drive by making your own autorun.inf file—a Windows default convention for automatically launching files. USB AutoRunner creates this file for you, so setting up a working autorun.inf file is as simple as telling USB AutoRunner what you want to launch when you plug in. USB AutoRunner is freeware, Windows only. While you're at it, find out how to quick-launch your USB workspace. USB AutoRunner [via Shell Extension City]
Mount USB Drives in Assigned Folders to Keep Them Straight
Tired of having to look up which drive letter Windows assigned to his multiple USB thumb drives, one author at gHacks decided to assign each drive to its own folder nested inside a "USB" folder. Not only does it add some consistency to swapped storage, it also allows for a persistent shortcut on a Windows desktop. The short how-to: Run "diskmgmt.msc" from Windows' Run/Start Search box, right-click on your plugged-in drive and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths." Then:
Click on the Add button, select Mount into the following empty NTFS folder and click on browse. Now navigate to the subfolder that you want to assign the USB drive to and confirm the assignment. The USB drive will from now on be accessible from that folder as well if it is connected to the computer.
Hit the link for a more detailed explanation and a quick undo fix. Assign USB Drives to a Folder [gHacks]
Instantly Eject a Specific USB Drive
Following up on last week's guide to creating a shortcut to Windows' Safely Remove Hardware dialog, the How-To Geek weblog details how to set up a shortcut or hotkey to immediately eject a specific USB drive, particularly handy if you typically only use one USB drive on your computer. The guide uses previously mentioned app USB Disk Ejector in conjunction with its command line options to create simple shortcuts for specific drive ejection. When you're finished, you should be able to instantly eject any drive with a couple of quick keystrokes without clicking through menus. These shortcuts would be perfect to index with Launchy for quick access. Create a Shortcut or Hotkey to Immediately Eject a Specific USB Drive [the How-To Geek]
Do You Thumb Drive On-the-Go?
Productivity weblog Digital Inspiration rounds up several ways to travel without your computer, suggesting instead that you carry all the programs and documents you need on your USB thumb drive. We've covered most of the post's suggestions before, whether we were showing you how to carry your life on a thumb drive or rounding up the top 10 thumb drive tricks, so with the wealth of options out there for taking that thumb drive to its limits, I'm wondering:
Run Your Personal Wikipedia from a USB Stick
You don't have to lease server space or keep your home computer always on to access a personal web server—you can run a web, FTP, and database server straight from a USB drive. A slim web server package called XAMPP fits on a USB stick and can run database-driven webapps like the software that powers Wikipedia, MediaWiki. Almost two years ago you learned how to set up your "personal Wikipedia" on your home web server to capture ideas and track document revisions in a central knowledge repository. Today we'll set up MediaWiki on your flash drive for access on any Windows PC on the go.

Crafting the Threads of Desire
Marco De Mutiis
Attention Twitter users: There's an artist out there tracking your every desire.
For the past eight months, Marco De Mutiis has been scouring Twitter for the words "I wish," and using any tweets with those two words to power a 50-year-old sewing machine.
"I wanted to create a physical representation of desire," says the Italian-born artist. "You get some strange wishes on Twitter, often about regret or Justin Bieber."
Mr. De Mutiis devised a code so the sewing needle stiches patterns onto a piece of black cloth according to each letter in the tweet. Like a phantom machine, it operates unattended (a computer is hidden below). The Twitter-powered installation is titled "Threads of Desire" and will be displayed at Art HK in a booth curated by Videotage, a nonprofit art collective established in Hong Kong in 1986.
"At the fair we will have desire for sale," says Mr. De Mutiis, who is a graduate student at the City University of Hong Kong. Pieces of desire-laden cloth will be available at a rate of 100 Hong Kong dollars a meter (about US$13 a meter).
Scene Asia spoke to Mr. De Mutiis about lonely Twitter users, insomnia and hacking into clocks.
Q: What inspired you to create "Threads of Desire"?
A: It started as a personal reflection. I feel it's quite common for people to stay up very late in Hong Kong. There is this anxiety or feeling of unrest. One night I couldn't sleep so I went up to my roof. I looked into the building facing mine. It was filled with people who weren't sleeping either. I could see in the windows some were smoking cigarettes and some were watching TV, so it's a universal feeling of not being satisfied. You could call it dissatisfaction but I call it desire. It's very close to [German philosopher Arthur] Schopenhauer's pendulum idea that says our life swings between pain and boredom. So I wanted to cultivate that pain that suffering and that desire.
Q: How did you get interested in Twitter?
A: Twitter is a gold mine of information. It gives you this huge database of information including people's feelings like "I'm worried." You can literally get access to everybody who is wishing in the world and feels the need to write about it on Twitter. I am interested in this idea of lonely people in front of their computers because they are not social in the sense of going to café for example. I can just imagine millions of them in front of a screen typing "I wish."
Q: Why use an old sewing machine?
A: I like old technology. With the latest technology, there is an assumption of a direct connection between human and machine. We think computers are an extension of our minds and bodies. But it's not true. It's just data. We treat the older technology as something that is not so perfectly connected. But I like these old machines because they are more honest. They reveal imperfections. They also demonstrate that it's impossible to control some things, like how we are feeling or the passage of time. There is also a sense of nostalgia people have towards old machines. Many people find them more human. For me the human lies in the imperfection.
Q: What are you working on these days?
A: I got my hands on an old clock, which I am hacking. It has a split-flap system [the kind of system often used in public transport timetables] and there was a problem with one of the flaps. I was fascinated by this glitch as the flap tries to turn but it can't—so it is constantly stuck in the moment. So I began hacking all of the motors in the clock so they move at different speeds. I am looking at this idea of how we are trying always to control time and to stop the moment.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) -- Southern Miss coaches and players say it's simple: Play the best defense and win Conference USA.
Sure, we know all about Damion Fletcher, DeAndre Brown and all of coach Larry Fedora's offensive weapons. Reams have been written about them. If the Golden Eagles are going to contend for a championship this year, though, their defense will need to build a reputation.
"We're trying to be a defense that teams fear," middle linebacker Korey Williams said. "That's what we're aiming for this year."
Fedora has put a great deal of energy into remaking his defense in the 18 months since he was hired. There's more depth in the secondary, for instance. And the makeover didn't stop there.
"When we got here we had three defensive linemen, now we have nine," Fedora said. "So we've improved a lot there, not just with depth, but with the talent level. But there's still a lot of work to do."
Defensive end Anthony Gray spent the offseason preparing his body for that work and is glad he did. Things have definitely gotten more intense over the last year.
"There's a lot of competition going on," Gray said. "It's two a days, anything can happen during two a days. I could almost lose my spot during two a days."
And Gray's a preseason all-Conference USA pick. But that's what happens when a team returns eight starters. The unit started slow but finished last season on a downhill sprint, leading a five-game win streak. They held opponents to 8 points per game in their final four regular season games and beat Troy in the New Orleans Bowl for a 7-6 finish and 15th straight winning season.
Just seven months later, so much more is expected. Fedora and his players want to be included in any championship discussion.
"I think that's the type of caliber team we have," quarterback Austin Davis said. "We've got plenty of talent and we're putting it all together. That's the type of thing we do at Southern Miss -- we compete for the conference championship -- and I think that's definitely in our grasp this season."
To become a dominant unit the Southern Miss defense must replace an irreplaceable player. Middle linebacker Gerald McRath skipped what would have been a sixth season and joined the Tennessee Titans as a fourth-round pick. The Golden Eagles also lost starting linebacker Tokumbo Abanikanda.
That's 221 tackles and 20.5 for loss gone, but there's a lot of confidence in their replacements. Fedora believes the 230-pound Williams will become a dominant player at middle linebacker. And the other new starter, Martez Smith, is even faster than McRath, who used his speed to become one of the nation's top tacklers the last two seasons.
There aren't a lot of holes to fill on offense, either, though it will be difficult to replace tight end Shawn Nelson, a Buffalo Bills fourth-round draft pick. Fletcher, Southern Miss' career rushing leader, makes a run at the record books again as he tries to become just the ninth player to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his four seasons.
And more is expected of Davis, the walk-on quarterback who rewrote the freshman record book, and the 6-foot-6 Brown, the nation's top freshman receiver last year. Those two combined for 12 touchdowns and more than 1,100 yards, and expect much more this season from an offense that was 20th in the nation.
"There's so much excitement about football," Fedora said. "Our players sensed that all spring, all summer. That keeps them motivated to work out when it's 105 degrees out there, and they're out there running 100s. I'm going to expect us to pick up where we left off."

Press Release
Report finds e-commerce growth spurs supply chain changes and shows how e-commerce challenges are being met
As the explosive growth of e-commerce has resulted in a shift in how many businesses and consumers make purchases, e-commerce is also changing the way supply chains are managed. A new report from Transport Intelligence (Ti), North American e-commerce Logistics 2012, examines the way transportation and logistics providers are responding to the rise of e-commerce, not only with delivery options, but also in the realm of warehousing and fulfillment, information technology, and finance.
Cathy Roberson, Ti's Senior Analyst and author of the North American E-commerce report explains why e-commerce is a key focus of many transportation companies: "It's evident from the recent numbers of Cyber Monday purchases in the US that e-commerce will continue to grow as more consumers are exposed to shopping online," Roberson stated. "As online orders increase, retailers will need to keep up or risk losing out to companies that can perform better in the market. This report aims to help retailers as well as transportation and logistics providers better understand the logistics of e-commerce."
Recently, e-commerce retailers have sought ways to overcome advantages brick-and-mortar stores may still have over ordering online. One example identified in Ti's report is the growth of same-day delivery as a key delivery option for e-commerce shipments. Although same-day delivery was previously an option mostly offered by couriers and smaller regional transportation companies, larger providers like UPS and the United States Postal Service are also experimenting with ways they can deliver packages the same day they are ordered. "E-commerce saw a large number of same-day delivery programs introduced in 2012," Roberson noted. "Although many programs are only offered in a few local markets, it is likely same-day offerings will expand as e-commerce grows."
Mobile commerce, or m-commerce, is also one potential facilitator of e-commerce's recent growth. Consumers are no longer limited to accessing the Internet from a desk, but instead they can shop from almost anywhere they have cell phone service. In addition to the increase among consumer purchases, m-commerce is also changing the way businesses make purchases.
Within each country, Ti identifies several challenges e-commerce faces in Canada, Mexico, and the US. While selling overseas and the resulting issues with customs clearance and delivery times are problems in any country, they are most notable in Canada and Mexico, where there are few large e-commerce players housed within the countries' borders. Even in the US, e-commerce is challenged by the collection of state sales taxes – an issue that has some large e-commerce players taking sides.
The overall e-commerce market is expected to make double-digit gains in Canada, Mexico, and the US through 2015, and as a result this will continue to spur growth in e-commerce logistics. Ti estimates that the e-commerce logistics market size was over $40bn in 2012, and it is expected to grow over 10% through 2015. Although the US will account for almost 90% of this market, the continued expansion of e-commerce in Canada and Mexico will likely keep pace as the countries find their own ways to overcome the challenges of adopting e-commerce.

Thank you for your interest in the Andrew M. Sands Memorial Emergency Student Loan Program (ESLP), sponsored by the Undergraduate Student Government Association (USGA). This program is designed to help students receive financial assistance for common expenses such as tuition and fees, textbooks, housing (on-campus and off-campus), utilities (water, electricity, gas, cable, internet), title payments (automotive payments, insurance policies), medical expenses, emergency travel expenses, etc.
The program is for eligible UAB undergraduate students. The maximum amount of an Emergency Student Loan is $500 dependent upon the circumstances of the student's case. After receiving a loan, the student will then have 90 days to repay the loan to Student Financial Services. If student does not repay the loan within said time period, a hold will be placed on the student's UAB account, thus not allowing the student to register for classes or graduate.

- Must complete a mandatory meeting with the Emergency Student Loan Program Coordinator
- Please turn in the following documents along with the application:
- Proof of Need (bank statement or other proof of income)
- Bill or Letter of Delinquency proving need for ESLP assistance
- Letter of Appeal for assistance from the ESLP
Note: No loans will be dispersed to students who do not meet all guidelines listed above.
You will be notified of your loan acceptance or denial no later than one week after submitting your application.
Applications may be submitted to the USGA Advisor located in the Campus Recreation Center, Room 190.
For more information, contact the USGA Emergency Student Loan Program Coordinator, Deepali Bajaj, at email@example.com.

To the Editor:
—Recently I thought of a means of making a more sensitive instrument out of a Ford or similar bell stethoscope by fitting a rubber diaphragm (such as the rubber cap from a packing strip test tube) over the bell of the stethoscope. These are inexpensive and serve the purpose very well. A more durable diaphragm might be made of vulcanized rubber, celluloid or metal with a retaining coiled spring of wire situated above the diaphragm on the bell, holding the diaphragm firmly in place against the bell.
