This volume purports to be a comprehensive review, but it is uneven in the emphasis it gives to various aspects of pain. The quality of the 134 reports by 171 authors, mostly from the European continent, varies widely. Sections on pain measurement, afferent systems, perception, and pain processing in the central nervous system are worthwhile. A skimpy section on psychosomatic aspects of treatment contains four unclear articles emphasizing hypnotherapy and an informative one by H. K. Beecher on the placebo effect. Chronic intractable pain syndromes are incompletely dealt with, mainly in a section on surgical treatment methods.
The book is top-heavy with laboratory and clinical studies on pentazocine, an opioid antagonist that possesses analgesic properties. The research design of many of these papers leaves this reader uneasy, and the abuse potential of this drug is passed over lightly.
The symposium and its publication were supported by the Winthrop Products Company.

Police are looking for a copper thief who damaged the air conditioning at several Orange City businesses, and a clear surveillance image may help them catch the man.
Watch the video to see if you recognize the suspect
The man carried what looked like a crowbar and another tool. He hit in the overnight hours.
Insurance agent Chris Westfall said the man took $100 of copper from his building but caused about $8,000 in damage.
The air conditioning is still being repaired after the thief hit a week and a half ago and stole the copper tubing.
"If I can come to work and work 12 hours a day, I'm sure he can get a job out there and do something more productive than trying to get $100 worth of copper and risking five years in prison," said Westfall.
The thief also stole copper from the top of a restaurant, damaging the meat coolers.

A motorcyclist who was seriously injured when he collided with a car in the Davidsonville area Saturday afternoon has died.
Anne Arundel County police said a car pulled into the path of the motorcyclist at the intersection of Davidsonville and Governor Bridge roads, where there are flashing red signals.
The motorcyclist was unable to stop in time, hitting the driver's side of the car. He was ejected onto the roadway, police said.
The motorcycle operator, Timothy Joseph Humphrey, 30, of Edgewater, was flown to Shock Trauma in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. The car's occupants -- driver Peggy Minnis, 66, and Fred Minnis, 69, both of Bowie -- were taken to Anne Arundel Medical Center with minor injuries.
Police said the cause of the collision appeared to be failure to yield the right of way on the part of the car's driver. Neither speed nor alcohol appeared to be contributing factors, although police did say Humphrey was wearing non-compliant headgear.
On Thursday, police announced that Humphrey died from his injuries.
An investigation continues, and police will consult with prosecutors to determine whether any charges will be filed.

Looking at the major leagues across Europe, two teams stand head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to consistency and sheer brilliance: Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona.
This is a comparison of the two best teams in Europe as it is not likely that we would see two teams dominating and playing such great football for many years. In a hypothetical scenario that Dortmund play Barcelona, who would come out on top?

Prostate Cancer Health Center
Prostate Cancer Screening (PDQ®): Screening - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Evidence of Benefit
Summary of First Four Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Screening Roundsa continued...
Recruitment and randomization procedures differed among countries and were developed in accordance with national regulations. In Finland, Sweden, and Italy, the trial subjects were identified from population registries and were randomly assigned to the trials before written informed consent was provided. In the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and Spain, the target population was also identified from population lists, but when the men were invited to participate in the trial, only those who provided consent were randomly assigned.
In the screening group, 82% of men accepted at least one offer of screening. With 14 years of data, and a median follow-up of 9 years, there were 5,990 prostate cancers diagnosed in the screening group and 4,307 in the control group, corresponding to a cumulative incidence of 8.2% and 4.8%, respectively. There were 214 prostate-cancer deaths in the screening group and 326 prostate cancer deaths in the control group in the core age group. The unadjusted rate ratio for death from prostate cancer in the screening group was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.67-0.95); after adjustment for sequential testing with alpha spending due to two previous interim analyses (based on Poisson regression analysis), the rate ratio was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.65-0.98). The rates of death in the two study groups began to diverge after 7 to 8 years and continued to diverge further over time.
The absolute difference between the screening and control groups was 0.71 prostate-cancer deaths per 1,000 men. Thus, to prevent one prostate-cancer death, the number of men who would need to be screened would be 1,410. The additional prostate cancers diagnosed by screening resulted in an increase in cumulative incidence of 34 per 1,000 men, so that 48 additional subjects would need to be treated to prevent one death from prostate cancer. Thus, PSA-based screening reduced the rate of death from prostate cancer by 20% but was associated with a high risk of overdiagnosis.[50]
Important information that was not reported includes the contamination rate in the control group, and the treatment administered to the prostate cancer cases by stage and by randomly assigned group. Incompleteness of data is also a concern because it appears that several of the participating countries have not yet provided data beyond the 10-year point at which the major effect appears to occur. Longer follow-up will be needed to determine the final results of this trial.

Santa Clarita City Council candidate Johnny Pride has been arrested on suspicion of raping two 14-year-old girls, a sheriff's report said.
Pride, 26, of Valencia, was booked on charges of rape, lewd conduct with a minor, sodomy, oral copulation of a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, the report stated.
He is expected to appear in court Monday.
The exact details of the alleged crimes could not be released because the victims were minors, said sheriff's Detective Brian Hudson of the Special Victims Bureau, which is heading up the investigation.
Detectives arrested Pride on Thursday at 5:37 p.m. He was being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.
Pride was arrested just hours after participating in a candidates' forum at a Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
Pride, a model and actor, has appeared in at least two reality television shows, including "The Conveyor Belt of Love," in which he wore only bikini briefs and held a dog, and in "The Battle of the Bods," which showed Pride wearing only boxer-briefs.
During his campaign for City Council, he said he works often with children and claimed to have started a nonprofit organization to bring them school supplies. However, the group he described was never registered with the state, as nonprofits are required to do.
Pride worked briefly for the William S. Hart Union High School District at Canyon High School in 2008 for less than a month, said district spokeswoman Pat Willett.
He was a walk-on coach and a substitute campus supervisor, though it was not clear which sport he coached, she said.
Just after he announced his candidacy, Pride's MySpace profile listed his hometown as "YOUR MOMS (sic) VAGINA" and his occupation as "Your moms (sic) boyfriend!"
He later changed his profile and told The Signal his MySpace profile had been hacked.
At the SCV Chamber of Commerce candidates' forum, Pride spoke about his involvement with the city's youth and families.
Jackie MacDougall, the co-founder of SCVmomsblog.com, asked all the candidates why they were the best choice for families.
Pride responded:
"Two years ago, I was a member of the city, state and national (Parent Teacher Association) and I have coached for the last three years in the city and I have dealt with numerous mothers," Pride said. "And I'll tell you what, I've never seen a more active group."
The crowd laughed.
"Well, in a different way I've dealt with them, not in that way. I've heard their concerns and I know their struggle for safety, and they want the best for their children and I have dealt with that first-hand. So I know what they are looking for, and that is why I think I would be a great representative for the mothers out here."
Signal staff writers Jonathan Randles, Marianne Love and Brandon Lowrey contributed to this report.

Weir Weighs in on Tiger's Return
Mike Weir figures that Tiger Woods will return from an indefinite break from the PGA Tour "sooner than later," and says it could happen as soon as the Masters in April. Like Woods, Weir owns a green jacket and hopes to greet golf's top-rated player in the champions' locker room at Augusta National.
"I suspect he'll be back - just my guess - I think he'll be back for the Masters," Weir said Friday on a conference call with reporter Chris Johnson of The Canadian Press. "I'm hoping he's back for the majors. They're at such great venues this year, courses he's obviously done very well on."
Three of this year's major championships will be held at courses where Woods has enjoyed considerable success: the Masters at Augusta National (four victories), the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach (where he won by 15 shots in 2000) and the British Open at St. Andrews (two wins).
Because of those venues as places where Woods has experienced such success, Weir believes they will provide incentive for Woods to return in early spring.
"Myself being a competitor, I want to see him there," Weir told Johnson. "When I'm playing the majors and trying to win them, you want the best guy there to play against. Selfishly, I want him there for that. It's just good when he's around."
Weir, who will turn 40 in May, will start his 2010 season at next week's Bob Hope Classic after enduring intense off-season of workouts, where he said he was on "a mission."
Weir will play four of five weeks before taking a break in February to attend the Vancouver Olympics with wife Bricia and their two daughters. One of Canada's most famous athletes, Weir doesn't expect to be a participant in one of the last legs of the torch relay.
"I haven't been contacted really to do anything," he said. "I was just planning on being a fan and just going up there and watching with my family, taking it all in. I just want to go up there and enjoy it. I haven't been approached by anybody on an Olympic committee to do anything."
Even if Woods sits out the entire season, Weir doesn't expect to see another player step into Tiger's void and dominate. "I don't get that argument that somebody's going to sneak up and all of sudden take the bull by the horns," he said. "It could happen. Hopefully, I can do it."

After playing songs of their choice as well as songs picked by the judges, Idol's top 3 -- Lee DeWyze, Crystal Bowersox and Casey James -- faced the final elimination before next week's season 9 finale.
Keep reading to find out who's still in the running to win it all and who's out of the competition ...
Kara DioGuardi was right!
Crystal and Lee will face off in the finale -- and Casey is out.
As Wednesday's results hour ended, Lee was the first singer declared by Ryan to be safe. Then, without trying to tease out any suspense from the moment, Ryan said Crystal would be with him. "I'm safe?" she asked, incredulous, before running over and hugging Lee.
So it'll be Lee or Crystal, and definitely not Casey, the guy who combined a cowboy lankiness and a cheerful, surfer-dude unflappability.
It probably wouldn't have mattered if he'd been informed that he'd be the first living person to record a duet with the ghost of Elvis or that he'd be spending the rest of the year recording backup tracks for Kris Allen in a studio on a prison ship. He would have nodded and smiled.
This has, in fact, been the season of laid-back Idol.
At the start of the show the three of them sat there, looking astoundingly cool under the circumstances, and resolutely unwilling (or unable) to put on a dog-and-pony act of burbling excitement as Ryan tried to probe their emotions.
It was good, though, to know that Crystal's diabetes has been getting better treatment than ever, being on the show. And the footage of their home visits was very touching: They were all humbled by their success and the kind wishes of the fans.
I've grumbled a lot about the lack of tension in this season, but at least we have two finalists who behave, and even sing, like reasonable human beings. Whether or not they'll actually move units on iTunes isn't my concern.
There were two guest performers who were much closer to the Idol type. Travis Garland is a choreographed, shiny pop package. If this were Glee, he would have been revealed to be the lost descendent of Judy! Justin Bieber sang, too -- a very slick talent projecting outward from somewhere inside what looks like a natural American teenager. --Tom Gliatto

Building products firm Alesco's tax-avoidance battle is heading to the Supreme Court but its chances of success are slim, says one adviser.
Its fight with Inland Revenue is seen as a test case for a number of other tax disputes involving more than $300 million.
Earlier this year, Alesco NZ lost a Court of Appeal hearing over whether a funding structure involving optional convertible notes (OCNs) used to buy two other companies was a tax avoidance arrangement.
In 2003, the Australian building products supplier used OCNs to advance $78 million to its New Zealand subsidiary for the purchases.
Between 2003 and 2008 Alesco NZ claimed deductions for amounts treated as interest liabilities on the notes in accordance with a determination issued by the tax commissioner. But the commissioner then denied Alesco the interest deductions and treated the funding structure as a tax-avoidance arrangement.
Alesco went to the High Court but the IRD's position was upheld by Justice Paul Heath in 2011.
Alesco took the case to the Court of Appeal, where it was dismissed in a unanimous decision this year.
Alesco then sought leave to appeal to the Supreme Court, which was granted yesterday.
But tax adviser Daniel Hunt said Alesco's use of OCNs was artificial, lacked commercial reality and was "obviously tax avoidance".
"I think the chance of success at the Supreme Court is virtually impossible," he said.
While the amount in dispute is about $8.6 million of tax, penalties and interest, it is viewed as a test case.

Firefighters: OKC gas line capped after day care evacuation
Line cut in building under construction
UPDATED 12:35 PM CST Feb 06, 2013
Oklahoma City firefighters say a gas line that was cut leading to the evacuation of a nearby daycare has been capped.
The line was cut in a building under construction near Northwest 61st Street and Shartel Avenue. Chesapeake Energy decided to evacuate a nearby daycare as a precaution before fire crews arrived.
Firefighters sent an engine and a Hazmat unit to stand by while ONG worked on the line. It has since been capped, according to authorities.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A temporary ramp from Capodanno Boulevard onto the Brooklyn-bound lanes of Verrazano-Narrows Bridge's will be open for several months while the original ramp is reconstructed.
The work is part of the MTA's $50-million project to improve traffic flow from the bridge's ramps and approach roadways.
The temporary ramp, which opened on Thursday evening, will have little impact on traffic flow, according to the MTA.
"The only real change is that drivers will be shifted to the east as they enter the temporary ramp from Father Capodanno Boulevard," said Project Engineer Piv Lim. "The temporary ramp will have the same two-lane configuration as the original ramp. Traffic capacity will not change."
The work on this stage of the project is expected to take about 10 weeks, depending on weather.
Once the work is finished, the reconstructed ramp will have two lanes and -- for the first time -- two 8-foot safety shoulders. After the reconstructed ramp is completed, the temporary ramp will be removed.
Crews also will continue working on the ramp from the Staten Island Expressway onto the bridge's lower level.
Other work still to be completed as part of the project is the rehabilitation of the Staten Island-bound Lily Pond exit ramp and improvements to the Brooklyn-bound Staten Island Expressway roadway leading to the upper level of the bridge.
The project is being coordinated with the Staten Island Expressway improvement project, overseen by the New York State Department of Transportation, to improve traffic flow through the I-278 corridor and improve bridge operations, stated MTA spokeswoman Judy Glave.
Work on the MTA portion of the project is scheduled to be finished in 2015.

Preparing To Close on a House
|Email Print
I'm soon going to be a homeowner less than 6 hours if all goes according to plan. There have been a few hiccups along the way including the roofing certification (not good enough), some fees (title insurance is 30% higher than the good faith estimate), and some minor mistakes all around. The only show-stopper is the roofing certification so I'm hopeful all can be resolved for the close at 4pm. On a semi-unrelated note, my girlfriend's car overheated and was leaking "green and red" fluid which I took to mean coolant and perhaps transmission fluid. You might see a "buying a used car in under a week" article in the near future…
Roofing Certification
I received the roofing certification by fax this morning. Service was performed by Tri-County Roofing & Sheet Metal, Inc. located in Westminister, MD and according to the receipt they did a certification and a repair job. The cracked beam issue I mentioned earlier was repaired – itemized as "sister 2x6x8 to cracked tress," but there was no mentioned of the FRT (fire retardant treated) activation issue. I called up the company but the estimator was out of the office and they will call me back. We will need to get something in writing before close to get this resolved because I refuse to pay for the repairs. The addendum releasing the home inspection specifically "correct any damage to roof shingles, plywood, and support beams." It sounds like they corrected the support beam problem but not the plywood problem.
Update: The estimator for the roofing company assured me that the amount of chalky residue was normal for that brand of FRT plywood. The wood itself was in good condition and the roof appeared to have been replaced 10-12 years ago. But, the plywood is only 3/8″ thick, which is to code, and not half-inch – so there will be a little rolling. When the roof was first installed, they hadn't started using H-braces (braces connecting the tresses, adding stability to the plywood) so it also contributes to the rolling effect. He believes the roof will be stable for at least an additional five years, though that obviously is not guaranteed or warrantied. At least now it sounds like he did look at the FRT and did decide it was in good condition – which is, bottom line, what I needed a certified roofer to do.
Rent Back
The contract stipulates that the seller can remain in the house until July 31st at the latest, paying me my PITI as rent. The PITI works out to be about $65/day so they'll be prepaying the month of June at close and prepay July later on. The concern I have, which my agent needed to look into, was what about utilities? Since it isn't specifically called out for in the contract, I will assume they are covering it but double check this at closing.
First Time Maryland Homebuyer's Tax Break
In my research, I reported that first time buyers in Maryland receive a break on the State Transfer Tax, but the Settlement Statement prepared by my title company, Crown Title Corporation, had me paying my half of the state transfer tax. I shouldn't have to pay the $750 tax –
my agent is going to talk to the title company and get that settled. The title company responded by removing that item from the Settlement Sheet.
Title Insurance
The Good Faith Estimate prepared by the lender stated that the Title Insurance should be around $900. Now, they don't set that price, they guessed based on the value of the home – but when Crown Title came back and will be charging me $1,200 it raised a red flag. Why is it 30% higher? The insuring company is First American Title Insurance and if their website's rates are any indication, I would be paying $1,010 for the standard policy and $1,212 for Eagle coverage. So if I have Eagle coverage, this seems fair. If I'm getting standard, it looks like Crown is putting a little money into their pocket. Ultimately, I don't think I'm getting screwed but I didn't go into it as informed as I should have been (and as I usually prefer to be). I could've shopped around for title companies but that's how it goes sometimes. The Good Faith Estimate was probably a little low.
Preparing for the Closing Meeting
I don't think I can explain the final step (what to bring and what I will be doing) as clearly as this site has:please add your thoughts now! }

"Like a utility such as electricity or water, cloud computing allows users to only consume what they need, to grow or shrink their use as their needs change, and to only pay for what they actually use," wrote U.S. Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra in his official blog this week, as he announced the launch of Apps.gov "to help continue the President's initiative to lower the cost of government operations while driving innovation within government."
Describing the new site as "a one-stop source for cloud services – an innovation that not only can change how IT operates, but also save taxpayer dollars in the process," Kundra stressed that his hope for Apps.gov was to give agencies more rapid access to innovative IT solutions, so that they can spend less time and taxpayer dollars on procedural items and focus more on using technology to achieve their missions.
His vision is most easily summarized in this paragraph:
Apps.gov is an online storefront for federal agencies to quickly browse and purchase cloud-based IT services, for productivity, collaboration, and efficiency. Cloud computing is the next generation of IT in which data and applications will be housed centrally and accessible anywhere and anytime by a various devices (this is opposed to the current model where applications and most data is housed on individual devices). By consolidating available services, Apps.gov is a one-stop source for cloud services – an innovation that not only can change how IT operates, but also save taxpayer dollars in the process."
Kundra underlined that, as with Data.gov, the new site "is starting small – with the goal of rapidly scaling it up in size."
He acknowledged that along the way, it would be necessary to address various issues related to security, privacy, information management and procurement to expand the Government's cloud computing services.
"Over time, as we work through these concerns and offer more services through Apps.gov, federal agencies will be able to get the capabilities they need to fulfill their missions at lower cost, faster, and ultimately, in a more sustainable manner," Kundra wrote.
The federal government spends over $75 billion annually on IT. As Kundra wrote, this technology "supports every mission our government performs— from defending our borders to protecting the environment."
"IT is essential for the government to do its work," he added, "and it is essential that we have access to the latest and most innovative technologies."

Carjacking victim shot in east Denver, 2 suspects at large
DENVER — Two carjacking suspects were able to flee the scene after shooting their victim in the chest in East Denver Thursday morning, according to police.
The incident was reported around 4:15 a.m. near 2602 Jasmine Street. Police said the victim was transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition after sustaining a gunshot wound to the chest.
Police also said the two suspects fled the scene in a green and gray Chevy Blazer that may have extensive front end damage. Police have described the suspects only as a male and female, and believe the Colorado license plate number on the Blazer is 082YJF.
While further details about the carjacking were unavailable, a quick scan of the crime scene from just outside the police perimeter showed a light-colored station wagon up on the curb with its right back seat door ajar.

The emails start to arrive around the first of the year and dribble in for the next six to eight weeks. They all have a variation of the same question:
"How do I get my race to be part of the Runner of the Year series?"
This is the 27th year for the series, and the standards for inclusion have stayed more or less the same since Mike Beebe started the series way back when. Still, it's good to review them as runners and race directors come and go over the years:
• The schedule starts with the Shamrock Run, which was held Saturday, and ends with the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. There's a certain amount of tradition with those events that signifies the start and end of the racing season. There are obviously well-run events in December, January and February, but I'm always afraid of bad weather influencing a race. In other words, people shouldn't drive through a snowstorm just for the chance to earn Runner of the Year points.
• The races should be spread out a bit; something close to once a month is the ideal. I do make exceptions for the Subaru Buffalo 4-Mile Chase and the Checkers Mile, because they tend to attract an elite field.
• It's good to have a variety of distances. That's a little tough in an age when 5-kilometer races tend to dominate the calendar, but the current list does have everything from one mile to a half-marathon. The system usually comes up with worthy champions, which is the goal.
By the way, some wonder why the Buffalo Marathon doesn't make the list.
It's mostly because elite runners come in from out of town to dominate the overall results, so including it wouldn't influence the series standings very much.
• Experience counts. In other words, races need to show they can put on a well-run event a few times before they are seriously considered for the series. Sticking to this rule has helped the series avoid a couple of disasters.
The scoring rules remain the same. Winning a race earns 12 points, second place gets nine, third earns eight, and so on down through 10th place. Age-group points go 3-2-1 for first-second-third.
The results are faithfully updated by Jeff John of Buffalorunners.com, where you can find the complete standings at the website.
Jeff also has proved to be very helpful when it comes to providing points of view on the rules of the series. We've had some bizarre circumstances come up over the years. I always know I'll get an honest opinion on what to do from Jeff, and it's always appreciated.
Chris Walters and Jennifer Koeppel-Acker were the 2012 champions.
By Thanksgiving, or perhaps a bit sooner, we'll know who takes this year's titles.
Race numbers rise
Fritz Van Leaven remains the ultimate source for statistical information on races throughout the region. The local running official charts participation of events in Western New York, Southern Ontario and Northwest Pennsylvania.
The news concerning 2012 for the sport was almost all good – again.
The number of races was up to 286, up from 271 the year before. The number of participants went from 97,993 to 113,878, an impressive jump of almost 16,000 entries.
The most popular race, as usual, was the Turkey Trot at 12,510 finishers.
Longer races dominate the top 10, but a couple of 5Ks showed amazing growth. The "It's a Wonderful Run" in Seneca Falls had 2,711 finishers – entries went above 3,000. The race has become the major part of a weekend-long festival and thus is generating some good-sized tourism dollars. The Lindsay's Legacy 5K was up to 1,762 finishers, and thus can claim the title of Western New York's biggest 5K.
A few other noteworthy stats from Van Leaven's report:
• The Girls on the Run 5K went from 453 finishers to 788 in a year. The growth of that very worthy program has been astonishing.
• The NCCC Thunderwolves 5K increased from 53 runners to 171, a jump of 223 percent. That was the biggest increase by percentage.
• The biggest debut race was the Sarah Johnson Memorial 5K in Wilson, which drew 508 runners. Both the Buffalo Undy 5000 and 50-Yard Finish Half-Marathon drew 503 finishers to tie for second.
• The News' Runner of the Year series drew 12,510 runners in its 12 races, a jump of 5.3 percent over 2011.
Race calendar
• Slush Rush 5K, Williams Center at SUNY Fredonia, 9 a.m. today, 673-3451.
• Flight for Air Stairs Climb, 38 flights, One HSBC Center, 10 a..m. Saturday, (585) 666-1394.
• Olean YMCA Polar Bear Half-Marathon, 1101 Wayne St., Olean, 1 p.m. on March 10, 373-2400.
• St. Patrick's Day Dash, 3 miles, 319 W. Third St., Jamestown, 9:15 a.m. on March 16, 488-2203, ext. 230.

text: Some people in the primal community might say not to be concerned, but your LDL is very high relative to your HDL, and that should be something of concern. This seems to be a common question around here, but have you had a full thyroid panel? T3 is necessary to activate the LDL receptor, and if someone is hypothyroid then you can see high cholesterol just from this alone. Other reasons can be leptin resistance (which I doubt you have because you are primal and have pretty low triglycerides), a genetic condition called familial hypercholesteremia, or inflammation and active infections. I think inflammation is the biggest reasons for high LDL for a lot of people, as LDL transports cholesterol to cells in the body for repair and growth. You may even be too active and constantly inflaming yourself (see mark's whole 'chronic cardio' articles). I would recommend getting a hemoglobin A1C test, a C-Reactive Protein test (measure inflammation in the body - very important), and a full thyroid panel. Make sure you do not have any infections either. Also, make sure you oils are high quality primal sources and that you are not consuming too much fructose/alcohol/anything else inflammatory.

How often have you heard people say that life doesn't come with an owner's manual?
It's true. Life doesn't come with a specific owner's manual for you. So why not write one?
This question hit home for me recently when I decided to make an eye appointment, but let me take a step back.
I got my first pair of glasses about 4 years ago. Now, I'm getting headaches and eye strain again. My problem is that I don't know when to go get new glasses. If I'd had glasses for years and years, I would probably know when it was time to get new glasses. Unfortunately, as I have so little experience with glasses, I didn't really think of it. I just thought I'd been having more headaches than normal.
How was I supposed to know this? Well, I could ask someone, or I might just muddle about until I learned it. But when I do learn it, I need to further develop my "owner's manual".
I think that learning how my body and mind worked and developing my own owner's manual was one of the things that led me to start writing for this site. We get bombarded by a LOT of advice on how to live our lives. Some of it is good, some of it is horrible, and much of it works for only certain people. How can we tell the difference?
Trial and error.
It's not easy, but it works. It just takes time. And once you learn what works for you, then you're ahead of most other people.
Have you written an owner's manual for your life?

SHEPHERDSTOWN - Sometimes things are better off the beaten path, or in the case of the 2013 Freedom's Run, off the path unrun.
With the government shutdown closing national parks normally used in Freedom's Run, today's races will take a new route, keeping runners entirely in West Virginia.
"Runners' safety is the primary concern," said race director Dr. Mark Cucuzzella, adding the new course stays on low traffic roads.
The new course begins at McMurran Hall at Shepherd University and leads runners along River Road. Half marathon and marathon runners will continue to Knott Road, where they make a loop to return to Shepherdstown. The marathon completes the course twice.
"It probably is one of the most scenic roads, most peaceful roads around here. I wanted to share that with people," Cucuzzella said.
As a runner himself, Cucuzzella regularly runs River Road and said he wanted to bring people to his backyard. Cucuzzella loves to train on the new course, especially for the Boston Marathon.
"I've run it a lot in the last week marking it," Cucuzzella laughed.
The new course might be pretty, but it can be pretty tough, too. A few inclines thrown into the scenery will put the runners to the test.
"You want something that challenges you," Cucuzzella said.
A new path to take hasn't deterred participants though. About 2,220 runners registered for the races as of Thursday, with 300-500 more likely to join. Many supported the change to keep the race from being canceled.
"The majority are going to run," Cucuzzella said. "They really like it. It's beautiful."
About 30-40 participants chose to defer their registration until next year's race so they can run the original course.
With the recent rainy conditions, Cucuzzella thinks this course might be safer for runners.
"Being on the road is probably better conditions and safer than being on the towpath," he said.
"I hope it doesn't flood. It's just one thing after another," he laughed.
This year's group of runners includes everyone from Shepherd alumni, a former Freedom's Run winner and a marathon winner in all 50 states.
"We're privileged to have a couple really good, quality runners," Cucuzzella said. "It's like a family-type event."
Dave James, the Freedom's Run 2010 winner, didn't make it a mile the first time he ran in 2000. By 2001, he completed his first marathon. He's now ran more than 100 marathons and ultramarathons, and he's a three-time member of Team USA among other accomplishments.
"He's one of the best ultramarathoners in the world right now. He just loves our race," Cucuzzella said, happy to have him back this year.
One of Cucuzzella's running partners, Chuck Engle, ran three marathons since Sept. 1 and all three have been under 2 hours, 40 minutes. Engle, who's flying in from Oregon, is the only person to win a marathon in all 50 states in under three hours.
"He just loves running," Cucuzzella said of Engle. "He loves meeting people."
It's no surprise the race sparked the interest of so many quality runners and so much positive feedback.
Runner's World named Freedom's Run one of the top 25 half marathons in the event's fifth year.
"It says a lot about the event," Cucuzzella said. "We feel pretty good about that."
As the runners take a new route, Freedom's Run is sure to have the same crowd and fun offered any other year.

In the following video, Fool consumer-goods/industrials analyst Blake Bos discusses how the current natural gas boom has spurred interest in hydrogen-fueled cars.
The expansion of natural gas infrastructure resulting from increased gas production would make it easier in the future to support hydrogen-powered vehicles, Blake says.
There are environmental concerns regarding the production of hydrogen from natural gas. However, Blake shares research that points out a potential long-term issue with the current battery technology that Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA ) and other manufacturers use. Blake also identifies international companies that are embracing hydrogen technology, including Honda (NYSE: HMC ) and Toyota (NYSE: TM ) .
Tesla's plan to disrupt the global auto business has yielded spectacular results. But giant competitors are already moving to disrupt Tesla. Will the company be able to fend them off?

SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, Pa. -- A lime shortage has sent the price of limes way up in recent weeks and doubled the price restaurants pay for them.
The limes are also smaller than usual.
Buyers say a drought in Mexico, where most limes are grown, plus disputes between drug cartels are driving prices up.
One Lancaster County restaurant, El Serrano, says despite the increased cost, its margaritas will continue to have a lime on the lip of the glass.

Senate Democrats have introduced the "Buffet Rule," a bill that would require the top 1/10th of 1% of income earners to pay no less and 30% in federal income taxes; a rate similar to that paid by most of the remainder of American taxpayers. Some Democrats in Congress think there will be too much Republican opposition to the bill and that the voters will have to decide the matter by who they vote for in the current election cycle.
This leads me to wonder… What will the 1% say or do in order to get the rest of America to vote against their own interests and in the interest of the mega rich? After all, the majority of Americans do want the rich to pay at least the same tax rate as the teacher or mail carrier, and in Warren Buffet's case, the same as his secretary.
I suspect that before this election cycle is up, we will see some of the 1%'s old antics reappear. The kind that comes from their puppet organizations who serve to keep the huddled masses divided. Organizations such as the NRA, who will scare rural voters and gun enthusiast by saying that the Democrats are coming to take their guns away. It doesn't matter that the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits such an act from ever happening. It doesn't matter that a new amendment repealing the second would be required and that two thirds of the states would have to ratify such an amendment, thus making it improbable at best. They'll use it and it will raise millions upon millions of dollars for them and the votes that millions of dollars worth of lobbying and propaganda can buy.
Or will it come from the right's radical friends at the American Family Association or some similar religious extremist group that will encourage us all to ignore the establishment clause in the constitution, and codify their religious views; views that would deny equal rights to some Americans. I'm talking about same sex marriage here. Yes, there are still an awful lot of Americans who simply don't understand homosexuality because it has been forced underground for centuries by repressive measures and discrimination, and those Americans who don't understand it could easily find themselves scared into voting against their own economic interests despite the fact that same sex marriage would in no way affect them.
Could it be some nation a world away, whose military can barely threaten the nations in their own region, that scares us in voting for their candidates? Will it be the 1%ers buddies in the defense industry who will convince us all through the corporate media, that such a country poses a grave danger to the United States and that another war in inevitable? They will say that the left is too soft on defense for wanting to focus on things that matter to Americans rather than starting another war that in reality, will only serve to line the pockets of the rich and their corporations at the expense of the poor of both nations.
This election cycle, I do not want to tell anyone how to vote. Rather I would encourage everyone to see through the hype that the right uses time and time again to gain the votes of the 99%. Don't let the scare tactics of the right stand in the way of an America where economic and social equality can become a reality. Vote and demand equality in America!

'Hope Against Hope' explores education in New Orleans
New Orleans did not volunteer to become a laboratory for experiments in revitalizing public school education. But the widespread destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 led to a series of actions that have almost completely altered the city's schools.
The Louisiana Legislature placed many New Orleans schools, already underperforming and troubled, in the state-run Recovery School District. Most are now charter schools. »Read Full Article

Really smooth gradual animations on the web are such an anomaly, you may do a double take when you encounter one on a site. However, I think they can be really quite compelling, like the slowly changing header on this page. In this movie I'm going to show you how to put the @keyframe statement and animation properties we discussed in the second movie of this chapter to work and create this precise effect. If you're unfamiliar with the @keyframe statements and animation properties, please review that movie before continuing. All right! I have the main.css file from Chapter 3/ 03_03/_css folder of the exercise files open in my code editor, and I'm ready to start coding my @keyframe statements.
The first of which, we'll set up a range of color values. So I'm going to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page just to have it placed correctly, create a little space here, and let's start out with our vendor-specific versions first, and the syntax here for an @keyframes statement that uses a vendor-specific prefix is to enter @ and then the vendor prefix, which in the first case is -webkit-, the name of the property keyframes, and then as you may remember, we need to enter a unique name for this animation.
I'm going to call this spotlightBG, and we'll start putting in our rule. Now I want to slowly rotate between five different background colors. So I'm going to enter in five different declarations, one for each of the background colors at a different point on the timeline. So let's start off right at the beginning at 0%, and we'll make this background color white. Now the other values I'm going to enter are all light pastels that I picked from actually working with Adobe Kuler, which you can find at kuler.adobe.com, a great resource.
Enter a new a line, and let's put in my 25%, and we'll start this one by triggering this background color change at 25% of the duration, and we will enter in our next color value, and you can see how this is going to go, so I'll copy the 25% line and paste it in again and change this value from 25% to 50%--so the halfway mark--and then change the color value, something slightly different, again, starting off with ff and then d4da.
Let's paste that in one more time, this time we'll move to 75%, and again, change the background color, this one is 99d2e4. One last time for pasting it in. Let's change the percent to 100% and the background color to d8cab4. Okay, so that is the keyframes statement for just webkit, now let's do the same thing for our three other browsers. I'll copy that entire rule and then paste it once, change the -webkit prefix to the Mozilla prefix, -moz, paste it again, change the prefix to the one for Opera, and finally paste it one last time and get rid of the prefix altogether.
Now let's set up the CSS rule that targets the div containing the Student Spotlight title and the artist's name. That's a div with the class of student, and we'll establish the original background color. This is the value that's actually going to be changing, and we want it to be the same as the color we start off with, which is white. Next, we want to enter in our animation rules. Again, we'll start with the -webkit vendor prefix, add the property name animation: and the first thing on our line of values that we want to enter in is the name of the animation, which is spotlightBG, followed by the duration.
If I were doing this for real, I would probably set the value really high like 40 or 50 seconds; however, for demonstration purposes, let's set it at 10 seconds. Now I want this to continuously repeat, so I'll enter in the keyword infinite, and I want it to bounce back and forth, so when it reaches 100%, it will then go to 75%, 50%, 25% and back to 0. So I enter in another keyword, alternate. Okay, so let's copy that line and paste it three times and then enter in our other vendor prefixes, -moz and -o and remove the vendor prefix for the final entry.
All right let's save the page, and let's head back to the browser. This is the final version. Now let's go to the version we've been working on, which is found in Chapter 3/03_03 and labeled spotlight.htm. Now you'll notice that at this point the background is not changing, but let me reload the page, and we start to see some change. Okay, it's not bad, but there are definitely a few moments where the contrast between the artist name and the background gets perilously close to one another.
So why don't we create another animation for the student-named text color to run parallel with our background animation and see if we can keep the content always readable. So back into the code editor. At the bottom we'll create a new rule, again, this is going to be an @keyframes setup, so let's start with @-webkit-keyframes and give it a unique name. In this case we'll just call it studentName, and here I think we only need three values, a beginning, middle, and end.
So we'll start with 0%, open our curly brace, put in color, and we'll start with a gray value, which is the original color used, which is d6d6d6; and then for the 50% mark, we'll change the color to a slightly darker gray, and at 100% mark let's make the color half of that, 333. Again, we'll need to copy this and do our vendor prefix versions, so let's paste it once, change -webkit to -moz, paste again, change -webkit to -o for Opera, and one final time and then remove the vendor prefix totally. Good! Now we're ready to build out the CSS rule for the paragraph tag within the student div.
So we enter our selector div.student space p for paragraph, start our curly braces, and we'll start it off with the same color that we began our animation, and now let's add in the animation itself. The name before our animation comes next, the duration, how we want it to repeat, which is infinitely, and the direction, which will be alternate. All right! Let's do that copy thing, and that vendor prefix replace thing. Let's save the page and take another look in the browser.
One more reload, and you can see the student name gradually changing, as well as the background changing. I think that's much better, and you could certainly tweak the values more to match your own designer's eye, but this is working for me. We've really just scratched the surface of the potential of CSS3's animation possibilities, but hopefully this colorful example will give you the tools and inspiration to start exploring.

The country's leading soccer publication stated simply: "A day to forget."
"It was the most shameful performance of all times," said Almir Rogelio, 32, who was waiting at a newspaper stand for a friend. "I honestly woke up and didn't even want to remember what happened."
Bruno Magalhaes / AP
"It was a tragedy. Sad, very sad, the greatest defeat of all the history of the Brazilian national team," wrote Tostao, one of Brazil's forwards in the 1970 World Cup and now a sports columnist for the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper.
Niklas Larsson / Bildbyran / ZUMA
"It was embarrassing. They have some nerve with the Brazilian people. We deserved so much better," said Manuel Alves, 58. "The worst was all the money spent, having so many other problems that need to be fixed."
Leo Correa / AP
Although few thought Brazil's humiliating loss would spark renewed mass protests, it is sure to put a severely sour taste back into the mouths of the nation's fans.

"Soccer is just an illusion and we need to wake up to reality," he said.

One posted an image of famous Brazilian superfan Gaúcho da Copa handing over his famous mock World Cup trophy to a German fan:
While another Brazilian referenced one of his country's most enduring attractions:
Movie buffs compared the semifinal match to the climax of The Avengers:
Others made enjoyably dumb jokes:
While others poked fun at ill-fated Brazilian goalie Júlio César.
Americans, though, did what we always do: found a way to make the whole thing about us, with the help of new national hero Tim Howard.
