Delirium in elderly people.
Division of Geriatric Medicine and Meyers Primary Care Institute, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA, USA.
Delirium is an acute disorder of attention and cognition in elderly people (ie, those aged 65 years or older) that is common, serious, costly, under-recognised, and often fatal. A formal cognitive assessment and history of acute onset of symptoms are necessary for diagnosis. In view of the complex multifactorial causes of delirium, multicomponent non-pharmacological risk factor approaches are the most effective strategy for prevention. No convincing evidence shows that pharmacological prevention or treatment is effective. Drug reduction for sedation and analgesia and non-pharmacological approaches are recommended. Delirium offers opportunities to elucidate brain pathophysiology--it serves both as a marker of brain vulnerability with decreased reserve and as a potential mechanism for permanent cognitive damage. As a potent indicator of patients' safety, delirium provides a target for system-wide process improvements. Public health priorities include improvements in coding, reimbursement from insurers, and research funding, and widespread education for clinicians and the public about the importance of delirium.

PARKERSBURG - The Camden Clark Medical Center has acquired additional property in the areas of Seventh and Eighth streets in downtown Parkersburg.
In the most recent purchase, CCMC purchased four lots on 7 1/2 Street and two lots on Eighth Street from K&T LLC in a property transfer filed June 27 with the Wood County Clerk's Office, at a value of $465,000.
Tim Brunicardi, director of marketing for the Camden Clark Medical Center, said the hospital recently purchased the property adjacent to its Memorial Campus.
He said there were no specific plans for the properties at this time, but said it will probably fit into the hospital's consolidation plans. Brunicardi said the hospital has purchased "several lots" near the Memorial Campus.
More information about the hospital's potential plans for the additional property may be ready for release within a couple of weeks, he said.
Over the next five years, the medical center is planning to move all of the operations from its St. Joseph's Campus to the Memorial Campus, eventually closing the St. Joseph's Campus.
"This will include new building projects around the Memorial Campus," Brunicardi said.

NEW DELHI: In a curious turn of events, Times Square bombing plot suspect Faisal Shahzad is apparently a childhood friend of one of the masterminds of the Mumbai terror attacks. American television network, ABC News, linked Shahzad to one of the masterminds of the Mumbai terror attacks, but did not name the individual.
This curious links has apparently surfaced even as US investigators probe Shahzad's connection to the Jaish-e-Mohammad, an organisation that has carried out numerous terror attacks against India. According to reports, a high-level FBI team is in Karachi to question four Jaish-e-Mohammad members who were detained by Pakistani intelligence.

Roger in quarters in Wimbledon
Roger has reached the quarterfinals in Wimbledon by easily defeating Jürgen Melzer (ATP 16) 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 in today's match on Centre Court. The one-sided victory in just one hour and 24 minutes secures Roger his 25th consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final appearance.
Roger, who had never faced Melzer at senior level before, produced his full array of wonderful touches and rock-solid serving on Centre Court in sharp contrast to his stuttering performances in the opening two rounds.
Roger dropped his opening service game but that was about the only slip-up from our champ from the rest of the match. Another break followed soon after as Roger took advantage of some hesitant play from the Austrian. He secured an early break of serve in the third and Melzer failed to fashion even a solitary chance of his own as the defending champion breezed into the quarter finals.
Roger: "It was always going to be a tough match against Jürgen. The start of the match was vital. I got the early break but he broke back but I was in my rhythm. It was great to have two days off but that doesn't make the difference if you are going to win the tournament."
Roger will either face Tomas Berdych (ATP 13), or Germany's unseeded Daniel Brands (ATP 98) in the last eight.
I wish you good luck in the semifinal:)
I will still support you and you will stay in my heart forever:)
I love your beautiful tennis and you,too:)
Take care,Rogi:)
I send you sweet greeting from Slovakia:)
Congratulations on reaching the quarter finals. Yet another wonderful display of tennis from you. Well done. Good luck against Berdych. Take care.
Love From Christinexx
I know I'll see you in the Semi's!
Let's finish the job in straight sets Roger!
Get him in straight sets. I'll keep sending the best of my positive energey.
May all the tennis gods and angels be with you!
Your next match vs Berdych approaches. I hope you'll do your best, you must play your best game, because Berdych is a tough opponent. Very tough one. But, you know it better than me, you know what to do. May God be always with you and help you
CONGRATS!!!! on making it to the qf's @ wimby. I am soo proud that u made it this far into the tournament and i am sure u that u will make it to the end of the tournament and win wimby for the 7th time and 17th slam. GO ROGER!!!!!!!!

I love the Heineken ads that have avid soccer fans getting all warmed up on the beer because it depicts a reality that not all of us have 'greatness thrust upon us'. Of course, not all soccer players were gifted like the current soccer geniuses such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Last week, a couple of my students asked me to join them for a soccer match for two 30 minute halves. Man, I was about to drop dead as soon as the referee blew the final whistle, and I was just conserving my energy in playing defense.
(And yes, one of my students suggested that I was biting more than I could chew in taking a corner kick from the right… and yours truly didn't disappoint… ahem!)
The only thing that crossed my mind is: How do these guys do it day after day for 90 minutes?
Soccer Field Size – Does it really matter for "seasoned" players?
If you didn't know this already, the soccer field size is about 100 meters in length and about 60-64 meters in breadth. And if you're an avid soccer fan like I am, you'll notice that these guys sometimes show incredible bursts of energy well into the match that sometimes is a match-winner.
Yes, noone does it better than Al Pacino in describing that the athlete who is able to go that extra inch is the one who gets the glory. It's no different in soccer either…
And I wonder if these players ever feel like I did after those 60 minutes although it seems unlikely because they've been playing for years. They're the ones who have gone the distance… that extra inch every time!
And when I say distance – I mean, traveling around the world, and bringing out that special something every time the team was down. Goddamm, that rush when Messi pulls something out of his hat is indescribable…
Watch the goals from the second leg of the Spanish Supercup (Supercopa de Espana) at this link, and I'll be surprised if the game doesn't do much for you.
There is absolutely no sign of fatigue and I guess that it's the adrenalin rush that comes with playing in front of thousands of people (almost 92 thousand). Yet there's no doubt that it takes years of hard work and practice for one to get up to those fitness levels.
Think about body fat on these players – no chance in hell. That should tell you something, shouldn't it?
The fact that there isn't any chance of any body fat at all because of the number of times you have to run up and down a field, the countless practice sessions, the abstinence from substances that can hamper your progress and the list goes on.
All in all, you can say that their lifestyle is definitely a healthy one because right from nutrition to exercise, they are trained to perform at their peak. For get body fat… and this applies to anyone who plays a team sport such as this even for fun!
In Closing
While running around this large field for 90 minutes might be another day's work for these players, it still remains a daunting physical workout for everyone else. That's for sure especially if they're football fans…

University of North Dakota alumnus and NBA legend Phil Jackson says he supports the retirement of UND's Fighting Sioux nickname.
Jackson tells the Williston Herald that "if it's offensive to people, we need to change it, gracefully."
Sixty-eight-percent of North Dakota voters last year voted to drop the nickname deemed "hostile and abusive" by the NCAA.
Jackson returned to his hometown of Williston over the weekend for his 50th high school reunion and a baseball tournament.
He graduated from UND in 1967 with degrees in psychology, philosophy and religion. He was the UND's all-time leading scorer.
Jackson played 13 seasons in the NBA, including 11 with the New York Knicks. As a coach, he led the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers to multiple titles.

Health Blog Video: The Science Behind 'Twilight' Seizures
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1″ has been a hit at the box office. But some moviegoers have reported seizure-like symptoms — like vomiting, shortness of breath and convulsions — during a scene involving a strobelike effect, the WSJ's Christina Tsuei reports in this video.
The problem seems to go beyond the hyperventilating young girls who count themselves as rabid members of Team Edward or Team Jacob. As Tsuei reports, photosensitive epilepsy affects about 3% of people with epilepsy in the U.S. And symptoms in those folks may be triggered by visual stimuli such as strobe lights or video games that have flashes or flickers at certain frequencies.
Watch the video, which features an interview with Columbia University's Carl Bazil.

An anti-government protestor reacts during a demonstration demanding the resignation of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, in Sanaa, Yemen, Friday, March 11, 2011. Yemen's embattled president on Thursday proposed a new constitution guaranteeing the independence of the parliament and judiciary, but thousands of unsatisfied protesters poured into the streets to demand his ouster. Opposition leaders promptly rejected President Ali Abdullah Saleh's offer and called for mass demonstrations Friday, marking a month since the protests began. (AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen)
SANAA, Yemen (AP) -- Yemen's longtime ruler says he's ready to leave power but he doesn't trust his opposition, whom he called "drug dealers."
Ali Abdullah Saleh spoke in a rare appearance before a crowd of tens of thousands of supporters outside his presidential palace in the Yemeni capital Friday on a day of dueling demonstrations.
Across town, many more protesters gathered in a square to demand his ouster. They have done so for weeks, putting Saleh under pressure.
The Yemeni ruler of more than three decades says he wants to leave power peacefully, but his harsh descriptions of his opposition suggest defiance.
He accused his opponents of being a "small minority" and said they were drug dealers, money launderers and leaders of a rebellion in the country's north.

Information regarding state tax policy and recent revenue performance. State revenue is generated through a variety of sources, including both general fund taxes and other taxes and fees earmarked for special purposes or specific funds. Personal income and sales taxes comprise nearly 75 percent of general fund revenue. State revenues have begun to recover from the economic downturn, although forecasted fiscal 2012 revenue collections remain well below peak levels witnessed in fiscal 2008.

Definition of pepo in English:
noun (plural pepos)
Any fleshy, watery fruit of the melon or cucumber type, with numerous seeds and a firm rind.
Example sentences
- Botanists call the fruits 'pepos' and count them, weird though this seems, as 'berries'.
- Investigators agree that Cucurbita pepo fruits would have been used primarily as containers, or perhaps as rattles, rather than food.
- 'Our research has shown that members of the Cucurbita pepo species, including pumpkins, are particularly effective in this regard,' he says.
Mid 19th century: from Latin, literally 'pumpkin', from Greek pepōn (from pepōn sikuos 'ripe gourd').

Getting away for short break [Again]
By DaveLevy on Feb 21, 2007
I have only just had time to sit down and tag last weekends travel Guradian. They ran a 100 holiday ideas around a couple of themes, the omnibus page is here, and they also ran an article on alternative city breaks on an A-Z theme, proposing the seemingly odd Antwerp, Rotterdam (too much like Southampton) & Belgrade (too much like Belgrade) together with more interestingly places such as Stokholm, Thessaloniki and Zurich, which, my flickr fans will know, I visited last month, and it is well worth the visit.
The other themes were UK "Home Comforts", "On a shoe string", "Blow the Budget", "Green Boltholes", "active & family breaks" and "scrummy retreats".

FSCS in £206k credit union bail-out
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme has confirmed that it will pay out £206,000 in compensation to members of the Handsworth Breakthrough Credit Union after it was declared in default yesterday (5 January).
In an announcement published on the FSCS website, the scheme said members can expect to receive compensation within the next seven days, though more "complex cases" could take up to 20 days.
Declaring the credit union in default means the FSCS is satisfied it is unable, or likely to be unable, to pay back its members' deposits.
The FSCS said that that credit union comprises of 365 members with accounts totalling £206,000. Members are entitled to compensation of up to £85,000 each, and will not need to complete an application form to make a claim.
The news follows the announcement in November 2011 of new rules designed to boost credit unions by opening up their membership, which are set to come into force this month.
The move to boost credit unions comes following six insolvencies in the sector in 2011. The latest default occurred in September when Gallowhill Credit Union was declared insolvent, with the FSCS paying out a little more than £113,300 in compensation.
According to the Financial Services Authority, which announced that it would be looking into the sector in July last year, approximately six credit unions are declared in default each year.

IEEE 802.11e standard develops a reference design for a sample scheduler and admission control unit to support the contention-free access. However, the reference design can not efficiently utilize the bandwidth. This paper proposes an equalspacing- based (equal-SP) design to address the problem. In the equal-SP design, which generalizes the reference design, each stream is scheduled with equal-spacing and different streams are scheduled with different spacings. The equal-SP design not only keeps all advantages of the reference design (i.e., it is simple, easy to implement, and can guarantee the delay requirement), but it is compatible with the standard and can also utilize the bandwidth efficiently.

Look, Kitten
Got this from GB. Don't know where he got it.
Years ago, I'd call myself a feminist, 'cuz I believed in equal pay for equal work, the ERA, etc., but I kept running into women who objected mightily to any man (or just me?) self-labelling himself thus. I think the idea was that you have to pass some special test (involving humiliation and self-flaggelation) to have permission to call yourself that (but only when accompanied by the appropriate female handler).
"OK," I thought. "But you gals sure are prickly."
I still consider myself a feminist, but I keep it to myself.
OK, Kitten?
But, in all seriousness, I can see a point in distinguishing between two divisions in an army such as feminists. There are, first, the malficiaries© (you know, opposite of beneficiaries) of sexism and the like. They do have a special moral authority by virtue of being women—i.e., the damaged party. The corresponding point about moral authority was made, long ago, by black abolitionists. But the latter crowd was generally friendly to and even grateful for non-black supporters.
It's certainly true that non-malficiary supporters are vulnerable to unconscious condescension, and it makes sense for the army to maintain mechanisms to identify and correct such attitudes among supporters.
But generosity, too, is a virtue; and meanness is a vice.

You got that comic reference from GB?
Why, Prof Bauer, I thought you read what I emitted :-)
I am a feminist too.

Right: "not exclusively, but peculiarly...." Great quotation there, Roy. I love telling students, ever so casually, that a good (male) friend of mine is a feminist. Messes with their heads in more than one way--all of them good. To me, a feminist is one who believes authentically in the equality of the sexes, intellectually and morally. That certainly doesn't exclude men, though Douglass' (and your) point about the distinctive moral authority of the "malficiaries" (love that coinage) is well-taken.

A seminary classmate of mine, Brian, grew up in a rough part of London. During his young adult years, in the 1980's, he was a part of that city's punk rock scene. He had a rainbow-colored mohawk, studded wristbands, and a leather jacket- the standard punk uniform of the time. And, true to the punk ethos, Brian was disaffected, angry, and sometimes violent. God, needless to say, was not a part of his life.
One day Brian and some companions noticed that a local monastery was hosting a day for youth. They decided to go, create havoc, and disrupt the whole thing. When they arrived at the front door, a frail monk greeted Brian. Brian told him to "(Blank) off," and shoved him hard. The monk fell back against a wall and landed on the floor. He then picked himself up, dusted off his robes, smiled at Brian and said, "Peace be with you." Brian was at a loss for what to do or say. He had expected threats, insults, a call to the police- anything but a wish that he enjoy peace. The experience was so powerful, Brian said, that at that moment he was converted to faith in Christ.
Brian's conversion experience is an example of the transforming power of the peace of Jesus- a peace we heard about in today's gospel. No less than three times the risen Jesus said to his disciples, "Peace be with you." Indeed, these were the first words the Lord spoke to the disciples after his resurrection.
This peace- "Shalom" in Hebrew- might best be described as what we experience when we live in complete harmony with God. It's a true gift that Jesus won for us through his death and resurrection- that's why he first gave it on Easter day. But this peace is also something for which we must strive, by daily surrendering our life into God's hands. When God is absent from our life, or when we work against God's will, we will experience turmoil, restlessness, desolation, and inner conflict- as seen in the anger and violence of Brian's life before his conversion. But when we live in harmony with God, we will know the peace of Christ.
When Jesus offered his peace to his friends, the wounds of the nails and spear were plainly visible for all to see. This tells us that a life lived in Christ's peace is not necessarily free of hardship; we all have a cross to carry. Instead, the peace of Christ allows our hardships to be transformed, because we know we're loved, strengthened, and guided by a God who cares for us, knows what's best for us, and has a plan for our lives. Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago, as he suffered with terminal pancreatic cancer, wrote a little book called The Gift of Peace. Just thirteen days before he died, he finished his book with this thought: "As I write these final words," he said, "my heart is filled with joy. I am at peace."
Jesus wants us to enjoy his peace. At the same time, he doesn't want us to hoard it to ourselves. The peace we receive is a peace we're meant to share. Think back to today's gospel. Jesus wished his friends peace, and then sent them forth into the world to spread that peace. "As the Father has sent me," he said, "so I send you."
The same thing happens to us at Mass. During the Eucharistic prayer, we recall Jesus' promise of peace at the Last Supper when he said to his apostles, "I leave you my peace, my peace I give you." Then we ask Jesus to "grant us the peace and unity of (his) kingdom." After this, we share the sign of peace, as we turn and say to each other, "Peace be with you."
"Peace be with you" isn't a special way we Christians say hello to each other, and it's much more than a simple expression of good wishes. Instead, it's a way we acknowledge that the peace of Christ is a gift that our Lord has offered to each one of us. At the same time, to say "Peace be with you" is also something of a challenge, both to ourselves and to those we greet, to be open and receptive to Christ's peace. Because we all fall short of it, and even reject it outright, through our sin, selfishness, and pride.
Pope Benedict described the Eucharist as "the sacrament of peace." In particular, he wrote about the "great value" of the sign of peace we exchange at Mass. He calls it an "eloquent" gesture, because of the "irrepressible desire for peace in every heart" in the midst of a world "fraught with fear and conflict." Because of this, he concludes, we who share Christ's peace with one another at Mass, have a special responsibility to share the peace of Christ with the world.
And that's what we're sent forth to do at the end of each Mass. It's for good reason that all of the options for the Dismissal at the end of Mass explicitly mention Christ's peace: "Go, in the peace of Christ;" "The Mass is ended, go in peace;" "Go forth in peace to love and serve the Lord."
We can't, however, share with others what we ourselves don't have. That's why we need each day to open ourselves more and more to Christ's peace, by placing our trust in God and striving to live in harmony with his will. "Acquire inner peace," said St. Seraphim, and a multitude around you will find their salvation."
The world is filled with people like my seminary classmate Brian. Maybe they don't have a mohawk! But they do have anger, turmoil, confusion, meaninglessness, cynicism, hopelessness, despair. Our Lord wants to use us to bring his peace to people like them. Maybe then we should make our own the famous prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, who said, "Lord, make me a channel of your peace."

Darth Tater has a new contest for the forum
Check it out!
Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by max, Dec 3, 2011.
Obviously...BG and CV were showcased in a very effective manner........Joe bought in........
Oh man! They showcased JD out of $50Mill...
$90 Million....................
At this point, not showcasing Gordon and relying on people's vague memories of his Chicago days is a better way to go about trading him.
Just about every player on the roster will be showcased on every team - the condensed schedule will mean everyone plays a lot this year, either because coaches are smart enough to go deep into their rosters all year, or they are dumb enough to try keeping their rotations to "normal" minutes and cause lots of injuries because these guys will get so damn fatigued.
Philly was ready to send him to Denver for a 2nd rd pick. Marreese Speights is somebody Joe should be seriously pursuing. http://hoopshype.com/players/marreese_speights.htm 6'10" and the kid can play he just doesn't fit into what Collins is trying to do in Philly! I'd be looking to do a 3-way deal where we GIVE CV (or Max) away to ANYBODY to free up the cap room to acquire Speights for a 2nd rd pick........don't we have like 40 of them?
...a young, energy big? Heck yeah!

The recently canceled King of the Hill may yet live on, as a Fox rep has confirmed that "another network is interested" in the long-running and consistently solid (but terminally unbuzzworthy) series. The show is still averaging at about a 3.4 rating—the same numbers CBS's "breakout hit" The Mentalist is getting—and reached as high as a 4.3 after last Sunday's Simpsons Halloween special. Fun fact: Did you know Bobby is voiced by Pamela Adlon, aka Mrs. Louie from short-lived Louis C.K. sitcom Lucky Louie? [THR]

Tweaks Coming to 'Meaningful Use' Requirements for Electronic Medical Records
The much-discussed "meaningful use" requirements that tell hospitals and doctors to what extent they'll have to digitize medical records in order to qualify for the first wave of incentive payments are getting a slight tweak.
Government Health IT reports that CMS will make "minor revisions" to the regulations, which were released in July. The magazine cites remarks made by Tony Trenkle, director of CMS's Office of e-Health Standards and Service, at a work group meeting this week. The tweaks will include "more detailed descriptions of each of the meaningful use objectives and measures" and clear up inconsistencies, the magazine says. Trenkle wouldn't give specifics and said the changes will be made "shortly," Government Health IT says.
For the quickie version of the existing objectives and measures, which include things such as at least limited use of computerized systems to put through medical orders and incorporating lab tests into electronic medical records, see this chart published in the New England Journal of Medicine. And here's CMS's own web page on all things meaningful use.
A survey out earlier this month found that 90% of hospital IT execs say they expect to qualify for the stimulus funds before Sept. 30, 2012, when the first stage of the federal incentive program ends. There will also be a second round, in 2013, and a third, in 2015. Preliminary recommendations for stage 2 will be presented in October, Government Health IT says.

Marlon Hill is a self centered dirt bag. From my knowledge, he is a manager of a team of sales representatives. This is ridiculous because he can't manage anything or anyone. He is completely self centered, causes controversy in any way he can and only cares about himself. He manages his reps like they are complete dirt. He is only out for himself and doesn't teach anyone anything useful and thinks he has way more power than he does. He isn't doing anything good for this company. He is extremely cocky and thinks he is better than everyone else when in reality.... he is an awful sales person and barely scrapes by. HMost of the company, including most of upper management HATE him.
Michael Salzman is a new employee. He is the svp of sales for a team of senior sales people. If you looked up the phrase "power trip" in the dictionary, it wouldn't surprise me to see a picture of his disgusting smirk right next to it. He treats people like trash, doesn't help or teach anyone anything. He is selfish and self centered to the highest degree. He isn't a nice individual. Has never introduced himself to 90% of the employees in the company because in his eyes, they are "lower than him." Since his hire, hes done literally NOTHING except bring some of his friends in on the company's salary and sit around and bs with anyone who will tolerate the crap that comes out of his mouth. He has everyone brainwashed that he is a good sales person with a ton of contacts but in reality... he hasn't done ONE thing to prove himself. He has actually done ONE thing.... he brought a LAWSUIT to the company. His previous employer, adMarketplace, is suing vertical search works for something involving stealing of contacts and employees. So, all in all, everyone hates him, he has upper management brainwashed into thinking he can do good for the company, he isn't a nice person, he does absolutely NOTHING that will help the company or anyone in it, he has a salary that is way to high, he has only COST the company money in lawyer fees and probably ruined their name for no reason.
If anyone is called by Vertical Search Works, it is a legitimate company. They have an amazing product and do business honestly. They just have two AWFUL employees. If you hear the names Marlon Hill or Michael Salzman... do yourself a favor and steer clear. The company should let these two fools go for their own good and for the happiness and well being of their employees.

Fernando Muzzio, PhD, started in the pharmaceutical industry in 1991 as a professor at Rutgers University (Piscataway, NJ). His research focused on the engineering and mechanics of blending and mixing systems and the behavior of particles in these operations. After serving as the director of the university's pharmaceutical engineering program, Muzzio now is the director for the new NSF ERC on Structured Organic Particulate Systems and a professor of the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at Rutgers University. He is also a member of Pharmaceutical Technology's Editorial Advisory Board. Muzzio has conducted numerous presentations on blend uniformity and model-based design. For Pharmaceutical Technology's 30th anniversary, he discussed with us the significant regulatory framework that has shaped the industry, especially process analytical technology (PAT) and quality by design, and how it will change the training and skill set of manufacturing operators.
What significant changes have you seen during your tenure in the industry?
Besides FDA's CGMPs for the 21st Century document, which regulatory guidances had a major influence on manufacturing?
In many cases, manufacturers are still having the same types of problems they had before, whatever those might be. There are a lot of legacy products that were developed many years before this new framework was put in place, and those products are still manufactured by and large according to those methods and are required to meet the same compliance requirements that were in place before PAT and quality by design. PAT and quality by design are being adopted gradually; it will take a number of years before most of the products in the industry's portfolio are really developed by the PAT approach. And even then, quality problems will appear. But what will change is the methodology of solving these problems and the amount of predictive knowledge that we will accumulate either during development or during manufacturing. I think this is where the big difference is going to be. But I think also there are going to be evolving expectations in terms of quality and performance.
Going forward 10 years from now, how important will PAT and quality by design be?

Weather Journal: December Gets Cold and Wet
A slow-moving cold front lumbering across Greater New York will slash temperatures Tuesday and dangle the chance of snow showers and other soggy developments.
Any potential flakes won't fall until Wednesday night, and even then only the higher elevations of northwest Connecticut seem most at risk. Even without snow, the latter part of the week is guaranteed to feel like legitimate winter as highs inside balmy New York City struggle to top 40.
In the meantime, scattered showers will linger Tuesday as the bulk of the system slides by to the north and west. We haven't had a bulls-eye hit from a storm since late October, which partially explains the November snow drought that is now carrying over into December.
As Weather Journal explained Monday, this fall in New York City was much warmer and wetter than average. Europe has been dealing with the exact opposite of the moisture spectrum. This weekend, a massive WWII era bomb was discovered (and safely defused) in the middle of the drought-stricken Rhine River in Germany. Low water levels are expected to reveal other hidden hazards in coming months.
Tuesday's Greater New York forecast roundup:
- WSJ Headquarters in Manhattan: Actual High: 60; RealFeel High: 59 Actual Low: 42; RealFeel Low: 39 Weather: Rain showers, turning colder late
- Brooklyn: 61/42
- Queens: 63/43
- Bronx: 61/42
- Staten Island: 60/41
- Poughkeepsie, N.Y.: 55/37
- Trenton, N.J.: 63/42
- Islip, Long Island: 61/43
- New Haven, Conn.: 58/40

Dr. Alan is a caring physician he listens to you and takes the time to explain what's going on. If he doesn't know something or it is out of his field of expertise he will send you to the specialist you need to go to. I have been a patient at Moweaqua Family Practice for approximately 17 or 18 years now and would recommend Dr. Bilyeu to anyone one.
I have been doctoring here since I was 9. Over the 30 years, I have always been treated with courtesy. Dr Alan also takes care of most of my immediate family and several members of my extended family. No one has ever had a complaint. He has always treated us with care and understanding even after hours. He has always been very willing to send any of us to a specialist if needed and has always followed up to see how we are.
He is combatant if he thinks you are questioning him, his staff, when you try to get help for and on going problem. Such as a woman over fourty who is in constant pain. Refused to look deeper into problem though tests show no results.
He is a nice man but doesn't read the patients charts. I am extremely allergic to several comman medicines and was given meds that I should not have been precribed, but since I'm not a doctor, I took them without knowing the reprocutions. Come to find out, after two trips to the ER (within a 12 hour period)if you are allergic to one med, this med should not have even been prescribed. I passed out and went into what my husband calls a med induced like coma. Here I am 6 days later and still having problems and under the care of an interanl medicine doctor to try to straighten out my system. My advise is to be very aware of what yu are taking if you have medicine allergies as his pharmasist doesnt offer any help.

As a child, Linda Ronstadt responded to the call of music. That's when she started singing in her family's home in Tucson, Ariz., and realized that singing was the field she'd pursue.
Ronstadt recalls those early experiences -- and the career that made her one of the most beloved singers of her generation -- in "Simple Dreams" (Simon & Schuster, $26, 256 pages). The new memoir is a frank, engaging chronicle of one of music's indelible voices.
The book's release is bittersweet for fans of Ronstadt, 67, who announced earlier this year she'd been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. It was an unexpected coda for the singer, who now calls San Francisco home.
In an interview, Ronstadt confirms, "I don't think there's any chance I'll ever be able to sing again. I'm happy at this point that I can walk and talk. I wake up in the morning, and I think I can do those two things, so it's good."
She spent a year and a half writing "Simple Dreams," which covers her Arizona childhood, her debut on the Southern California music scene and the solo career that scored dozens of hits, earned 11 Grammy awards and included collaborations with Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Jimmy Webb, Aaron Neville, Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton, among others.
Ronstadt credits her family with setting her on her musical path. She writes glowingly of her childhood. Her father was a baritone who sang in Tucson venues as Gil Ronstadt and his Star-Spangled Megaphone. Her brother and sister played piano, and the family spent evenings harmonizing. Singing was her focus. "I didn't think about being famous, or people knowing me," she says. "I just thought, 'I'd like to have a job singing.' It seemed like it would be more fun than working in a bank."
Ronstadt moved to Los Angeles at 18, with her parents' blessing, $30 and her dad's 1898 Martin guitar. She arrived at an exciting time, when folk music was making way for folk-rock, country-rock and other hybrids. Musicians were experimenting with new sounds and recording techniques. The scene was fluid, and she followed her instincts with singular focus. "I would just hear something, and I would like it so much that I couldn't stay away from it," she says. "It would just take my imagination, just make me burn to sing it."
She eventually grew tired of the rock scene and its excesses, and moved into other genres. She appeared in a Broadway production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance" directed by the Public Theater's Joe Papp. She collaborated with arranger Nelson Riddle on three albums of standards. She sang Mexican songs on "Canciones de mi Padre."
"Simple Dreams" also addresses her romantic relationships with famous men she dated or lived with: songwriter J.D. Souther, then-Gov. Jerry Brown, author Pete Hamill. But she never married. "I wasn't trying to do that," she says. "I was trying to sing."
Asked why she settled in San Francisco, she mentions Michael Smuin, the late co-artistic director of San Francisco Ballet and founder of his own troupe. When he choreographed dances for her "Canciones" tour, they became good friends. Mostly, though, she was bored with a superficial Los Angeles lifestyle. "The conversation in Los Angeles always started with, 'Those are cute shoes -- where did you get them?' or 'You look really good,'" says Ronstadt. "I wanted a different conversation."
Today, Ronstadt leads a quiet life. She doesn't listen to music as much as she once did, but her kids -- Mary, 22, and Carlos, 19 -- keep her up to date on what's new. She likes female singers -- Pink and Adele -- and enjoys YouTube.
She continues to support causes close to her heart -- including Los Cenzontles Mexican Arts Center, the East Bay nonprofit that teaches traditional Mexican music to at-risk kids. "I've been working with them for more than 20 years, and they're absolutely wonderful," says Ronstadt. "They have an incredible record of keeping kids in school and out of gangs. I give them advice, and I've introduced them to people -- Ry Cooder, the Chieftans -- who come in and play music with them."
She also returns frequently to Tucson, where she still owns a house, to visit family and friends.
Talking about her birthplace brings another memory from childhood, singing in a school choir. "We'd sing, and the little children would all turn around and look at me, because I'd be really singing, and they'd be kind of mumbling. I'd go, 'We're supposed to sing.' I don't know -- it was just what I knew how to do. It's who I was."

FWW Holiday Treecomments (5) December 22nd, 2010 in blogs
We had our company holiday party last week. It was nice. We closed the office at 2:00 and headed over to our old Distribution Center (nicely decorated for the holidays) for some cocktails, appetizers, service awards and raffle prizes.
But there was work to be done before the party. Each department was given some money and a 3 foot Christmas tree that we had to decorate and load with gifts underneath. The idea was to come up with a theme for the decorations and gifts. Then at the party all the different trees would be raffled off and if you were lucky you would win a tree and the gifts underneath. Naturally, the gang from Fine Woodworking came up with Santa's Workshop for our theme. A number of our editors and art staff were Santa's elves and I think they made some pretty nice stuff. The lucky winner went home with our silly tree and some great gifts:
a turned bowl
a turned plate
a cutting board
2 picture frames
a little box
and even the tree topper
Happy holidays everyone.

I don't think I have ever been accused of political correctness however, usually more the opposite.
I don't know whether to feel insulted or honoured.

The one thing that bothers me more than political correctness is people who take pleasure in criticizing what they view as political correctness, when in reality they haven't got a clue.
Like so many symbols of the Christmas season (and the timing of the holiday itself), Christmas trees existed long before they were co-opted by Christians. The earliest record of any sort of tradition of cutting and/or decorating trees in December is from several centuries before Jesus's birth. For example, see Jeremiah 10:1-5 (referring to practices in what is now the Middle East):
"Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel. Thus saith the LORD: 'Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not; they must be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.'" (KJV)
During the first millenium and a half after Jesus's birth, there were at least as many Christians vehemently opposed to Christmas trees as there were who favored them. Those opposed to the trees considered them to be pagan, although they were only half right: Pagan tradition did (and still does) involve decorating trees (as part of a fertility and solstice ritual), but never included the cutting of live trees.
Incidentally, Christmas trees didn't start showing up in the US until the 1850's.

Nice presents 'round the tree, Betsy.
But what you failed to address is the authenticity of the tree itself.
Please assure us all that Fine Woodworking would not stoop to using a plastic tree as the photo would suggest.
Perhaps an excursion into the snow covered forest with Clark Griswold would be in order to properly understand about slippery slopes.

A Quote by C.S. Lewis on art, friendship, god, philosophy, survival, and universe
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.

A quick, healthy lunch is too hard to find downtown. Obvious? Sure, but the ratio of greasy cheese offerings to work-lunchers is still mind-boggling, if not actually documented. Now that we have Klyde Warren Park, the city needs some leafy and eco-cool quick bites to match. Enter Freshii, an international chain launched in Toronto in 2005.
Located at the base of Adolphus Tower, the 7-week-old spot accented with lots of grass-green paint is still getting its sea legs while doling out wraps, bowls and salads.
Perhaps the Impatient Palate can figure out the obvious, but she wasn't great at figuring out in just one visit all that Freshii had to offer. While there's a build-your-own option for most everything (choose from grains, noodles or salad greens, add an organic-when-available veg), there are also pre-designed entrees.
The Buddha's Satay bowl ($6.29), with crunchy broccoli, green onions, rice noodles and peanut sauce, has pleasant, building heat. But a quinoa-based Mediterranean bowl ($7.59) with Kalamata olives, feta, cucumber and almonds, confused the IP with its lukewarm temperature; the menu offered no guidance. The woman who took the IP's order said all bowls are hot bowls, but later, Freshii's publicist said there are warm and "cool" bowls — and that the cool ones include those with a rice noodle or quinoa base, like the Mediterranean.
There's no confusing a salad, though! The Superbiotic ($7.99), with garbanzos, corn and artichoke hearts on spinach and romaine, made for a tidy lunch with lots of texture. Salad combos are also available as wraps. Taking a cue from a picture (it's not clear on the menu), the IP asked for a green one to match the store, and got her Metaboost ($7.29) wrapped in collards.
The concept of fast-casual bowls and wraps isn't foreign to the IP, and neither is eating healthy (no matter what you've heard), but a little gets lost in the slick, minimal Freshii menu translation. Once all is sorted out, though, it's easy to see this little cafe becoming a lunch hot — or cool, as it were — spot. Downtown needs its greens.
1412 Main St. Suite 101, Dallas. 214-748-6000. freshii.com. Open Monday- Friday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday-Sunday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. No alcohol.

Hello NYC IxDers,
It's time for another IxDA event! This month, Avenue A | Razorfish's
Andrew Green will talk about Interaction Design on platforms beyond
the web. If you'd like to attend, please e-mail nyc-rsvp at ixda.org.
Thursday, May 29th at 6:30pm
Location: Times Square, details provided on RSVP (e-mail nyc-rsvp at ixda.org )
Interaction Design as Sculpture
So far, we have created mountains of Wireframes, Feature Specs,
Personas and Scenarios to get the job done. But we are now at a point
in Interaction Design/UX where we need to consider more than just
designing usable, useful products and services for the web. People now
have higher expectations for transparent, intuitive and simple ways to
interact, research, shop and decide. At the same time, CEOs are
