Models for risk prediction are widely used in clinical practice to stratify risk and assign treatment strategies. The contribution of new biomarkers has largely been based on the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve, but this measure can be insensitive to important changes in absolute risk. Methods based on risk stratification have recently been proposed to compare predictive models. Such methods include the reclassification calibration statistic, the net reclassification improvement, and the integrated discrimination improvement. This article demonstrates the use of reclassification measures and illustrates their performance for well-known cardiovascular risk predictors in a cohort of women. These measures are targeted at evaluating the potential of new models and markers to change risk strata and alter treatment decisions.
Red shading indicates an increase in risk category; and blue shading indicates a decrease in risk category. Total reclassified = 2022 (8.23%); total reclassified in cells with at least 20 observations = 2009. SBP = systolic blood pressure. * Case patients and control participants at 8 years of follow-up, ignoring censored observations. † Observed risk at 10 years is estimated from Kaplan–Meier curve by using observations within each cell. The reclassification calibration statistic compares the observed risk with the average predicted risk within each cell. The chi-square statistic for the model without SBP is 68.3 (P < 0.001); for the model with SBP, chi-square is 22.9 (P = 0.006). Reclassification improvement is 10.5% among case patients (99 − 40 of 560), whereas classification worsened in control participants by 0.7% (821 − 992 of 23 611), leading to a net reclassification improvement of 9.8%.
The dashed diagonal line is the line of unity; horizontal and vertical lines represent risk strata cut-points. SBP = systolic blood pressure.

To the Editor:
Readers of Cook and Ridker's paper should be given an opportunity to look at the unprocessed Women's Health Study data, not just the statistical analysis. Since their data appears to be well described by a lognormal distribution, which is expected when risk factors interact multiplicatively (1), a model of their data can be created. Continuous risk distribution curves for the Reynolds Risk Score and Reynolds Risk Score without systolic blood pressure fitted to their categorical data are shown in the Figure (available at http://s668.photobucket.com/albums/vv49/sngoonew/). There appears to be little difference between the two distributions, consistent with the minimal difference in ROC curve AUC's (2). I would ask Drs. Cook and Ridker to provide a similar graph based on the actual data so readers could judge whether the differences in risk stratification are likely to be clinically significant.
It is difficult to understand how reclassification analysis could tell us anything about accuracy that couldn't be learned from studying each model alone. The only additional information included is the correlation between individual risk estimates, which is best evaluated with a scatterplot (avoiding the categorization of continuous data). When multivariate models differ by a single risk factor, as in their example, discordance between individual risk estimates may be modest. However when multivariate models share few risk factors, the discordance can be substantial (3). It is known that the greater the discordance, the higher the reclassification rate (4). Discordance reflects the fact that different models assign different risk estimates to the same individual and accounts for almost all of the reclassification. Differences in accuracy are not required to generate reclassification and, when they exist, are best evaluated by specific measures of calibration.

We thank Drs. Steyerberg and Pencina for bring up an important point with regard to evaluating reclassification measures in the presence of survival data. When the outcome is time to an event, such as a cardiovascular event, care needs to be taken to accommodate censoring. The reclassification calibration statistic can easily be calculated using survival data, as indicated in our paper. The Kaplan-Meier estimate of the event rate as of 10 years, for example, can be used to obtain the expected number of events within each cell of the reclassification table. D'Agostino and Nam(1) suggest that with survival data, the degrees of freedom should be k-1 rather than k-2, where k in the setting of reclassification is the number of cells containing at least 20 individuals.
The use of survival data is more problematic for the NRI and IDI, which both condition on case-control status. A similar problem occurs for the c-statistic, but methods to accommodate survival data have been established (2). For the NRI, Steyerberg and Pencina propose using the expected number of cases based on the Kaplan-Meier estimate within each cell, the same calculation needed for the reclassification calibration statistic. While an estimated standard error is not currently available for this measure, a confidence interval as well as the standard error can be determined using bootstrap samples.
We suggest that both the reclassification calibration statistic and the NRI be computed for reclassification tables, even in the presence of survival data.

One of the movements that has been gaining some traction since the financial crisis of 2008 is the tiny house movement. Many consumers are becoming disenchanted with the idea of living in large homes filled with stuff. Instead, the idea is to turn to tiny houses.
Most of these tiny houses have between 65 and 874 square feet. Tiny houses take "small" to a whole new level. I know that some people would say that my home, at 1760 square feet, is small, but even the largest tiny house is half the size of my home. I'm trying to imagine living in a space that is half the size of my current home, which I am fairly comfortable in, and I'm not sure I could do it — although the idea of a tiny house, and the simplicity that comes with it, is intriguing.
Save Money by Living in a Tiny House
One of the biggest draws of living in a tiny house is that it's possible to save money. Some of the savings that can come with living in such a small house include:
- Smaller utility bill: You don't use as much electricity when you have a smaller house. Additionally, there is a good chance that you will use less water as well. There are some tiny house owners who find that such small homes allow them to live completely off the grid [3].
- Lower property taxes: Tiny home = smaller tax bill. You can buy a smaller lot, and have a smaller house that isn't appraised nearly as high as a larger home. In some cases, tiny house owners don't actually own property at all. Instead, they mount the house on a trailer, and move it with them, staying in RV parks or in other areas.
- No mortgage interest: One of the biggest expenses that homeowners face is the mortgage interest. By the time you pay the interest on a huge home loan over the course of 15 to 30 years, you are out hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most of the time, it's possible to buy a tiny house outright. You can have it delivered, buy plans and build yourself, or build from a kit.
- No need to pay for the space: If you live in a tiny house, you don't have the space to store lots of stuff. This cuts down on your need to buy expensive things to fill a larger house. You don't need as much furniture, or decor. It forces you into simplicity, and saves you money that way.
Living in a tiny house has it's challenges, though. Most of us are used to privacy, and the ability to spread out a bit. Tiny house living often comes with a specific lifestyle, including frugal living and often growing your own food [4]. It's possible to have computers in a tiny house, and you can find many other modern comforts. But you do need to be prepared to share your space, and that can be challenging — especially if you have children.
In truth, the larger tiny houses are similar in size to apartments. Many people also see the charm in them in terms of vacation homes, rather than full-time living arrangements. What do you think of tiny houses? Could you live in one?

In February 20011 Joanne Lynn, MD, discussed
the case of Mr M, a 47-year-old musician living for the previous 3 years with
a recurrence of advanced rectal carcinoma initially diagnosed 8 years ago.
At the time of the interviews with Mr M and his longtime partner, Ms L, an
interdisciplinary palliative care team had helped Mr M with pain control and
home services. An around-the-clock paid attendant supplemented volunteer help
from friends. Interviews with Mr M and his partner illuminated their frustrations
and distaste for the available hospice programs. His primary care physician
described the complicated care and treatment plans that had been suggested
and abandoned—including Mr M's enrollment and disenrollment from hospice
twice—as Mr M and Ms L came to terms with the close of Mr M's life.
Dr Lynn described the 4 necessities of treatment that Mr M's clinicians should
provide: (1) prevention and relief of symptoms, (2) assessment of treatments,
(3) advance planning and designation of a surrogate decision-maker, and (4)
preparation for the time near death. Dr Lynn further explored the process
of enrolling in hospice, and the need for changes in the organization and
financing of end-of-life care to better match the changing trajectories of
patients living with—and dying from—serious, chronic illness,
whether one with a short period of obvious decline (eg, cancer), a long-term
disability (eg, congestive heart failure), or a slowly dwindling course (eg,

Back at the beginning of September, Flipboard showed up in the BlackBerry World app store for a short time before being pulled, and the team promised that the app would be coming "soon" to "select BlackBerry devices". Flipboard couldn't just say that the app was coming for the BlackBerry Z10, because the Z30 was on the horizon, and it was meant to be an exclusive for BlackBerry's new device...

Day after storm, NFL determined to put fans first
CHICAGO -- As powerful as fans and even rival sports leagues believe it to be, even the NFL can't do anything about the weather.
Yet about 24 hours after the Chicago Bears closed out a dangerous afternoon at Soldier Field in light rain with a 23-20 overtime win against visiting Baltimore, more than a few people in the Windy City were still shaking their heads. And not just because of the 2-hour suspension of Sunday's game and still-gusting winds that lingered across the Chicago area Monday.
Instead, many wondered why the game kicked off at its scheduled noon start time, with the threat of lightning, high winds and a torrential downpour bearing down on the city's lakefront stadium.
Both the Bears and the NFL came in for questioning over the decision.

HIGH BRIDGE — Solitude House was one of 20 historical sites participating in an open house today in observance of the Hunterdon County Tricentennial. Last Sunday, 19 sites participated.
The house was built circa 1725 although plenty of additions and modifications have been made over the years. It was home to the top brass of the nearby iron works, and two important political prisoners were kept there during the Revolutionary War — John Penn, the last colonial governor of Pennsylvania; and his chief justice, Benjamin Chew.
The house was purchased by the borough in 2002 and today's open house was hosted by the borough's Cultural and Heritage Committee and the High Bridge Historical Society.
The first tour of the day was conducted by volunteer Nancy Hunt, who showed off the many vestiges of remodelings and modifications that have spawned plenty of mysteries and theories. Outside, blacksmith William Barrett, representing the N.J. Blacksmiths Association, demonstrated his craft.
The 20 sites open today were the Prevost House in Alexandria Township, the 1759 Vought House in Clinton Township; the railroad station in Califon; the Red Mill and the Hunterdon Art Museum in Clinton; the Doric House, Samuel Fleming House, Choir School and the historic law office in the old courthouse, all in Flemington; Solitude House in High Bridge; the Township of Lebanon Museum; Oak Summit School in Kingwood Township; the James Marshall House in Lambertville; the Holcombe-Jimison Farmstead in Delaware Township; the Case-Dvoor farmhouse in Raritan Township; the Readington Township Museums; the railroad museum in Ringoes; Prallsville Mills in Stockton; the Tewksbury Historical Society's schoolhouse headquarters in Mountainville; and the Union Forge Heritage Association's museum in Union Township.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

www.mylessoncatalog.com This lesson follows the Standards in Three format. In fact, I've updated the format to now include a new section on Creating The Improvisation. Let's go through the four steps to this lesson. Step One: Reharmonization & Arranging In this step, I teach you how to arrange the song using big jazz piano chords. You'll also learn my steps to effectively re-harmonizing this song and others. With the skills you learn in this step, you are on your way to creating more rich arrangements on your own favorite pieces. Step Two: Learning The Arrangement Simply put, I will show you every note of the arrangement. After step one, I create and arrangement for the song, write it out and save it as both a MIDI file and PDF file (which you can download for free, of course). Now whether you read music or not, you will learn every single note of this arrangement because I 1) teach it slowly and 2) have a "virtual" on-screen keyboard that makes it easy for you to see every note that I am playing. Step Three: Creating The Improvisation In this new step, you can now see my "process" of creating an improvisation. It's really like getting inside my brain for an hour while we create licks and phrases together. Now, this is not just creating a lick. This section is also designed to teach you improvisation skills that you can take across a variety of songs and styles. Step Four: Learning The Improvisation If you want a "less talk...more playing" section, well look no further ...

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Clashes between anti-government protesters and the military continue on the second day after Thailand's prime minister placed Bangkok and surrounding provinces under a state of emergency.
Tension is building in an intersection on a main road in Bangkok. Troops of Thailand's military are shooting towards the Red Shirt protesters, but the Red Shirts are determined to stay and fight for their cause to overthrow Abhisit and restore democracy. which they believe has been robbed from them.
Prime Minister Abhisit is in a safe house amidst a series of violent protests staged by the Red Shirted, United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship. Abhisit and his deputy prime minister narrowly escaped when Red Shirts attacked his official car.
The Red Shirts' actions on Saturday in the city of Pattaya led to the humiliating cancellation of the annual summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
The Red Shirts had overpowered security at the Asian meeting and managed to break the glass wall of the Media Center. In response, many of the ASEAN leaders fled the meeting venue by helicopter.
Demonstrators Want Prime Minister to Resign
The anti-government protestors want the prime minister to resign. They say his government is corrupt and the election that brought him to power was rigged with help from the Thai military.
The ASEAN Summit was Abhisit's chance to show the international community that Thailand is back to normal after it experienced three changes in administration in a span of only 15 months. It was also his way of showing this country that he is in charge, but that is now in doubt as the protests continue.
Former Prime Minister Thaksin says he's prepared to return to Thailand from exile to lead a new government.
Political analyst and director of the Institute of Security and International Studies Dr. Thitinan Pongsudhirak says it is vital for Abhisit to prove the legitimacy of his position to restore order in the country.
"It would be an act of sacrifice if he does that to clear the slate," he said. "And if there are deep doubts that lead to instability then dissolving the house is one way to release pressure and move forward, but they have to make sure conditions are in place for workable and acceptable polls otherwise the polls will be problematic.
But the immediate outcome in the coming days are in the hands of the military. Whether it will launch a bloody, deadly crackdown on anti-government protestors, or abandon the current prime minister and government and stand down.

Intel Mobile Manners: Comment to Win a $250 Prize Package!Liz Stanley
Recently, a new study by Intel came out, showing how we as families use mobile technology in our homes…and how we design our lives around it. The information they uncovered is pretty interesting. (And here's a hint: Most of us think everyone else is doing it wrong.) What are the rules in your house?
Keep reading to find out about what Intel found, and tell us your family's "mobile manners" rules in the comment section and you'll be registered to win a prize package worth almost $250…which includes a gorgeous Epiphanie Clover laptop bag (the newest design from the super-hot Epiphanie), a "Great Get-Togethers book" by Anna Post, and letterpress stationery from Paperwheel Press. Leave a comment before midnight EST this Friday, April 29th, because the contest closes then (I really hope you win!)
How does your family's style jive with modern technology? Meaning, do you guys allow mobile devices in the family room? In kids bedrooms? At the dinner table? If you think about it, the way we're now designing social rules around mobile devices in the home is similar to the way our grandparents defined how the family would interact with the television.
Recently, my friend Laura heard Genevieve Bell, and Intel Fellow, speak about this at South By Southwest in Austin and Anna Post of the Emily Post Institute (and granddaughter of Emily Post) talk about this at Mom 2.0 Summit last week. The reality is, even though the concept of mobile devices is relatively new…smart phone are only 8 years old…a whopping 91% of Americans have a cell phone, laptop or tablet in their homes. And we just haven't completely figured out how to best integrate them into our family.
A new survey from Intel shows that one in five adults checks their mobile device before getting out of bed in the morning. Also, 92% of people wish people practiced better etiquette when using mobile devices. But only 19% of people admit to poor mobile behavior. (You can see the entire survey results here).
So what about you?
What's your family's smart-phone style?
Tell us your rules (or lack of rules), or just vent what you don't like to see, and you'll be registered to win this cool "mobile manners" prize package from Intel… a gorgeous Epiphanie Clover laptop bag (the newest design from the super-hot Epiphanie), a "Great Get-Togethers book" by Anna Post, and letterpress stationery from Paperwheel Press.
Leave a comment before midnight EST this Friday, April 29th, and tell us what your mobile manners style is. We want to know! (And we want you to win this awesome bag and prize package worth almost $250.)

someone who would only be desireable in bed once and then after that you'd be like "hey i have to leave the country for three years but maybe ill see you around" and then you never go back because that person was so ugly that they didn't deserve to be seen by you again.

New research suggests that neighborhood environment impacts child and parent obesity rates

The first of these studies describes the development of innovative GIS-based constructs for physical activity and nutrition environments. A follow-up study validates these measures by finding that adults and children who live in neighborhoods favorable to healthy eating and active living are less likely to be obese than those who live in less healthy neighborhood environments.

The "Drop Bag" is a collection of news and events from the Off the Couch sporting world.
The name refers to the drop bags that competitors use to get their post-race necessities from the start line to the finish line of point-to-point races.
Targeting a biker: Nicholas Voegeli, a cyclist from Sun Prairie, shared a harrowing account of being targeted by a motorist while on a ride in Dane County. According to his story, the driver intentionally forced him into the ditch on Highway C, at Happy Valley Rd. He concluded the piece in the Cap Times: "I felt hunted today, hunted by an opportunist who, recognizing no one else was on the road to witness his act, took his shot, confident of his escape. Thankfully, all I received was a couple of flesh wounds."
Scofflaw control: The Madison area tops the state in the proportion of commuters who travel by bicycle, a prominence that seems to lead to inevitable conflicts.
According to the Cap Times, police in Shorewood Hills issued about 20 citations to cyclists for failing to stop at a stop sign, and they plan to keep at it all summer. The story quotes the police chief, Dennis Pine, saying the village isn't demanding that bicyclists come to a complete halt and set a foot down at stop signs."All we're asking is that bicyclists slow down so they're able to stop if a car is there," says Pine.
I find it hard to argue with the law on that one.
Police release BAC in fatality: The latest update in the Dean Koenig case this week includes the release of his blood-alcohol level, tested after he allegedly struck and killed Wayne Scharenbroch, who was biking on Martens Road in Manitowoc County. Koenig was at 0.119% more than two hours after the crash, but said he had two beers during that time.
Paddling in Wausau: After that collection of grim news, it's a pleasure to note Wausau will host the USA Canoe/Kayak National Team Trials this weekend on the Wisconsin River. Haily Thompson, a 16-year-old from Stevens Point, will be among the local paddlers competing on their home course for spots on the national slalom teams. Find details of the event here, and a bit of a primer on the competition here.
Waiting for the check: The potential buyers of the Telemark Resort report that the financing to close the deal will be in place today or Monday, according to news from the north woods.

I have been trying all day to get Dios Mios 2.10 to work.
Lite works, and has worked but I just can't seem to figure out the issue with regular.
I'm using a Western Digital My Book Essential 2TB hard drive which is on the compatibility list and confirmed to be working (at least with DM2.5).
I created a partition which is primary, active, the first partition, and formatted to fat32 with 32kb clusters (and I did use the notepad trick to make sure it was 32kb).
I can get USBloader GX to recognize that the games are there and have tried to get them to work using both r1213 and r1215.
I have also installed DM2.10 by doing a "clean install" (Installed over default v10 mios).
I'm honestly at a loss for what to do at this point. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ryan: Sweet! This looks like a Polynesian paradise!
Morgan: (enthusiastic) Oh yeah...I like it. I've often dreamed of going to Hawaii during those long arctic blizzards.
Inukshuk: You're not too far off. Just another 3,600 kilometres south of Hawaii is the island nation of Samoa. Some might call it paradise, with its long stretches of golden sand, snorkelling lagoons and black lava pools.
Ryan: (suddenly nervous) Did you say...lava? Is this paradise ready to explode any second?
Inukshuk: These are indeed volcanic islands. You can still visit a half buried town where lava engulfed several churches and burned to ashes all the traditional Samoan wooden houses over 90 years ago. But there are other more pressing natural disasters lurking here, many of which may be worsened by climate change.
Ryan: Like what?
Inukshuk: Well, like tropical cyclones, coastal flooding, river flooding, landslides, storm surges...
Morgan: (interrupting) I know all about storm surges. I was in Tuktoyaktuk once when a big storm hit. It seemed like the whole Beaufort Sea was crashing into the shore.
Inukshuk: Your open water season is only about four months long. But when those arctic storms get blowing - look out! In a matter of hours, coastal water levels can rise up to seven times higher than normal. A single storm can knock out 20 metres of shoreline, threatening buildings, people, and wildlife habitat.
Ryan: Where do you hide from a storm like that way out on the bald tundra?
Morgan: All we could do was bolt the door, break out the cards and hope the roof stayed on!
Inukshuk: It's no different for Samoans when those tropical storms hit. Their communities are as exposed to the wild elements as yours. And their livelihoods are also based very much on the land and sea.
Ryan: So...if the environment suffers, the economy suffers, right?
Inukshuk: That's very true. From 1989 to 1993 Samoa was hit by severe cyclones every spring. The worst struck in 1992 - "Cyclone Val" they called it - which severely damaged 90% of Samoa's forests and destroyed about half of its coconut trees.
Ryan: Ouch! That must have put a lot of people out of work.
Inukshuk: Coconut farming is a major employer in Samoa. Fishing too. This industry also suffers whenever a cyclone hits. And climate change may add more punch to these storms.
Morgan: How's that?
Inukshuk: With changing atmospheric conditions, tropical storms may become more common.
Ryan: But cyclones are part of the natural scene down here aren't they?
Morgan: Yeah, just like blizzards up north?
Inukshuk: They are indeed. But they may become stronger and more frequent, damaging sensitive coral reefs beyond natural levels and allowing little time for healing between storms. These reefs are extremely important to small island states like Samoa because they protect the islands from strong waves and provide shelter and food for countless fish and other marine creatures.
Morgan: I've heard that climate change is causing sea levels to rise. How do corals feel about that?
Inukshuk: This is not good news. Rising sea levels are a problem for corals because many species can absorb sunlight only in shallow water. And if the seawater warms up too much, corals get stressed and expel the algae which help make food.
Ryan: The corals starve to death?
Inukshuk: Precisely. As the coral dies, it turns white. They call this coral bleaching, an impact of climate change already seen in Samoa.
Morgan: What do all those fish eat then?
Inukshuk: Not much. If the corals suffer, so do the small fish that feed on them...
Ryan: (interrupts) And so do the bigger fish that eat the small fish!
Inukshuk: And the people that eat the bigger fish. Are you getting the picture?
Morgan: Yes, and it doesn't look very rosy! What are Samoans doing to paint a happier picture of the future?
Inukshuk: You've heard the saying, 'Knowledge is power'?
Ryan: I hear it all the time from my history teacher.
Inukshuk: Well that's just where these people are starting. Kids in Samoa are learning about climate change in school and working hard to raise community awareness about this problem.
Morgan: Empower the kids. Great idea. But what about adults?
Inukshuk: At the same time, community groups and governments in Samoa are working together to keep tabs on climate change impacts and figure out ways to adapt to them. They're learning how to do scientific surveys of fish stocks, water temperature and coral bleaching.
Morgan: Sounds fine...but what good will all that do?
Inukshuk: These studies will help communities identify exactly where climate change troubles are brewing and plan ahead for them. Conserving the reef and protecting fish stocks will be a whole lot easier with better community support and information. In the meantime, they are exploring ways to reduce their dependency on fishing by looking at other ways of making a living.
Morgan: Like beefing up the tourism industry?
Inukshuk: Definitely.
Morgan: I'd be happy to support that cause if given a chance.
Ryan: I'll go too. We could do some serious snorkelling... (suddenly nervous again) That is, if you're sure about those volcanoes. Being dormant, I mean.
Inukshuk: Come and see for yourself. Samoans can't predict the future any better than you. But they are doing all they can to prepare themselves for change.

Jamie Spears and lawyer Andrew Wallet, who oversee the singer's affairs as co-conservators, allege the three men "are now working in concert to disrupt the conservatorship with utter disregard for Ms. Spears's health and well being," the papers say.
Text MessagingSpears's father says her cell phone records show "numerous telephone conversations" and text messages with her ex-manager Sam Lutfi and former boyfriend, paparazzo Adnan Ghalib.
"[Britney] innocently informs [Ghalib] of her destinations and that he then arranges for paparazzi to meet and film her to his financial benefit," Jamie Spears says. "[He] is harmful to Ms. Spears and to her recovery."
Her father also alleges that on Dec. 27 and 28, 2008, Lutfi tried to contact Britney through her hairdresser with the message that Lutfi was not responsible for creating the conservatorship.
He allegedly sent a text message to the hairdresser saying, "I've done everything I can to free her from this. Very close to getting her free now."
The restraining orders forbid Lutfi, 34, and Ghalib, 36, from contacting Spears or coming within 250 yards of her, her property or family members, according to the L.A. Superior Court papers.
Jamie Spears also got a restraining order against lawyer Jon Eardley, who was involved in challenging the conservatorship proceedings.
Previous Restraining OrdersA hearing on the matter is set for Feb. 23.
Lutfi was slapped with restraining orders by Jamie Spears's lawyers before. But in July, a lawyer for the singer said they were no longer necessary to renew because enough legal protection was in place.
Last October, Britney's father and Wallet were named permanent conservators by the court, granting them indefinite control over her life following her two forced hospitalizations in early 2008.

RAMALLAH: Israeli forces yesterday shot dead two Palestinians during a Nakba Day demonstration in the West Bank, prompting a Palestinian warning of a halt in security coordination with the Jewish state.
The demonstration was held to mark the anniversary of the Nakba, or "catastrophe" of the 1948 establishment of the state of Israel on the former British mandate of Palestine.
"The Palestinian leadership cannot remain idle in the face of Israel's violations, the latest of which was the killing of the two young Palestinians today (Thursday)" near Ramallah on the West Bank, Palestinian security spokesman Adnan Al Damiri said.
"And all this prompts the leadership to seriously consider a halt to security coordination with the Israeli side," he said.
According to Israeli media, the Jewish state counts on coordination with the Palestinian Authority (PA) for its "targeted" killings in Gaza and to counter threats in the West Bank.
Security and medical sources earlier said Musaab Nuwarah, 20, and Mohammed Udeh, 17, died in a Ramallah hospital after being shot in the chest during a protest outside Ofer jail near Ramallah.
Israel's military said its border police had clashed with around 150 protesters, using "anti-riot methods and rubber bullets", although Damiri said live rounds were fired.
Protesters set fire to tyres and hurled stones at border police, an army spokesman said.
Other Palestinian rallies for Nakba Day were held in the northern city of Nablus, in Hebron in the south of the West Bank and in east Jerusalem, where police reported a clash and arrests.
Hundreds of demonstrators, some carrying Palestinian flags or banners calling for refugees to be allowed to return to their former homes, also marched in the Gaza Strip near the Erez crossing with Israel.
In Ramallah, where Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas and his PA has their headquarters, people stood in silence on the streets for 66 seconds while sirens wailed.
"On this 66th anniversary of the Nakba, we hope this year will be the one in which our long suffering ends," Abbas said in a speech broadcast late on Wednesday. "It is time to put an end to the longest occupation in modern history and time for Israel's leaders to understand that there is no other homeland for the Palestinians but Palestine," he said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday accused the Palestinians of teaching their children that Israel "should be made to disappear".
The Israeli answer was to "continue building our country and our unified capital, Jerusalem", said the right-wing premier.
"Another answer to the Nakba is our passing the Nation Law, clarifying to the world that Israel is the State of the Jewish people," he said in remarks relayed by his office.
Palestinian chief peace negotiator Saeb Erakat, in a commentary published in Israel's left-leaning daily Haaretz, said the PLO has officially recognised Israel's right to exist since 1988.
But "the concept of an exclusively Jewish state necessarily implies the negation of the Nakba", Erakat wrote.

Moms clean up Duvall's Taylor Park
by Kehly McCue
DUVALL - What do a group of moms do when their town park is in shambles and they have to drive to a neighboring town so their kids can play? They clean up their own park! That's exactly what the MOM'S Club of Duvall did on Saturday, April 7.
MOM'S Club is a national, non-profit organization specifically for stay-at-home moms. "MOM'S" stands for Moms Offering Mom's Support. Every year they host a service project that benefits not only the members, but also the community as a whole. This year they decided to get together and clean up Taylor Park in Duvall.
The members, as well as their husbands, teamed up with wheelbarrows, rakes, shovels and a power washer to tidy the park up. Leaves were raked and the picnic benches, gazebo and play structures were power washed. The grass was treated in hopes that it will come back green and healthy. The sidewalks and basketball court were power washed and are now moss free. There are also two new basketball nets for the basketball court. The final glorification item was 20 yards of new play chips.
Everyone worked hard, had a good time and are very proud of their accomplishments. MOM'S Club is appreciative of generous contributions from Duvall True Value Hardware, Red-e Top Soil of Redmond, Michael Skaggs Associates and Domino's Pizza of Duvall.
MOM'S Club invites everyone to visit the newly refurbished park and hopes that the families of Duvall enjoy the park this spring and summer. For more information about the Duvall Chapter of MOM'S Club, call Kehly McCue at (425) 844-4477.

A freeway has reopened early Friday after a shooting left two men dead.
The shooting occurred shortly after 10:30 p.m. Thursday on northbound Interstate Highway 880. The California Highway Patrol had been diverting traffic after closing the northbound lanes for several hours.

It's a Prius! It's an iQ! It's…well, we're not exactly sure. All Toyota's saying at this point is it's a conceptual "dedicated hybrid" model, and that it will make its world debut at the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The first teaser image released looks remarkably like the European iQ subcompact, but a closer look reveals a distinct B-pillar and a full-size door behind it — features the diminutive iQ lacks.
We're betting it's a compact hybrid five-door — which almost parlays into the whole "Prius Lite" and "Prius Crossover" rumors we heard earlier this year. Regardless, expect the conceptual Toyota to be lean, funky, and green (quite literally, it seems).
Stay with Automobile Magazine for the latest surrounding the Toyota hybrid concept and all the latest news from the 2010 Detroit auto show.

And for the second night in a row, the Whitecaps were done in by four errors.
Kane County handed West Michigan its fourth consecutive loss with a 7-6 10-inning win on Thursday night before a crowd of 5,182 at Fifth Third Ballpark.
On Wednesday, the Whitecaps also committed four errors in a 7-6, 15-inning marathon loss against the Cougars.
"You make four errors, you don't deserve to win," West Michigan manager Ernie Young said. "That's just the bottom line."
The Whitecaps appeared to be on their way to a victory in the bottom of the eighth after Steven Moya's long sacrifice fly to right field drove in James Robbins for a 6-5 lead.
But Kane County tied it in the ninth after Whitecaps left fielder Jason Krizan threw the ball away attempting to get Julio Aparicio advancing to third on Angel Franco's bloop single to left.
The Cougars then scored the winning run in the 10th on Orlando Calixte's RBI single to right. It was his fourth hit and fourth RBI of the game.
"Made a bad read. I should have never thrown the ball," Krizan said. "It slipped out of my hand and I pulled it a little bit."
COUGARS 7, WHITECAPS 6Next game: West Michigan (Alex Burgos, 4-1, 2.14) vs. Kane County (Jason Adam, 3-5, 4.70), 7 p.m. Friday at Fifth Third Ballpark
Radio: WBBL-FM (107.3)
Kane County also scored a run in the seventh after Moya committed a fielding gaffe in right.
"Guys have got to come to the ballpark and see what they're made out of," Young said. "When you make mistakes to beat yourself, that's not good. I don't care what level you're at, at some point, we're 100 games into the season and now is the time to start thinking about the game a little bit more."
Before Wednesday, West Michigan hadn't committed a multi-error game since July 10.
"This team is, in my opinion, the best defensive team in the league," Young said. "But the errors that we made the last couple games, that's unacceptable."
The loss spoiled a solid night for designated hitter Ryan Hamme, who went 4-for-5 with three RBIs and two doubles.
"Two tough ones in a row. Just got to bounce back," Hamme said. "We've got a long season, got to try to finish up strong."
The Whitecaps jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the third.
Hamme made it 2-0 with a bases-loaded double to right that scored Luis Sanz and Jeff Rowland. Castellanos followed with an infield single that plated Hernan Perez, and Krizan's chopper up the middle drove in Hamme.
After Kane County trimmed the lead to 4-3 in the seventh, Hamme stroked a double to right-center that drove in Rowland.
West Michigan closer Bruce Rondon (2-2) was saddled with the loss and a blown save despite striking out three.
Whitecaps starter Kyle Ryan allowed three earned runs and struck out eight in six innings. He was relieved by Nathan Newman, who also gave up three runs in 2 1/3 innings, but those were all unearned.
"It's definitely frustrating," Krizan said. "The good thing about baseball is there's always tomorrow."

ExxonMobil is "probably further" than 25 years away from bringing algae-based fuels to the market due to the technical challenges in scaling up the technology, said Rex Tillerson, chairman and CEO, whose company has committed $600 million into its algal fuel venture. "What we've come to understand is the hurdle is pretty high and the hurdle seems to exist at the basic science level, which means it's even more difficult to solve," Tillerson said.

Yeah, the burgers and hotdogs really side-track me to not look at the puzzle piece first.
Go for the puzzle as the main!
The missing piece puzzle idea is great, but don't really like the other stuff on the design. How about taking the puzzle and making it the main thing in the design?

Surry School Greenhouse Repair/Renovation
Goals/Benefits -
The goal of the project is to renovate a greenhouse that is part of the Surry Elementary School campus in Surry, Maine. The greenhouse is a metal frame structure approximately 20' long by 10' wide covered with 8 mil plastic. The greenhouse has been used intermittently but is in need of some repair. The plastic needs to be patched in places, one of the doors needs to be replaced, some new fluorescent lights need to be added and a non-operative oil heater needs to be removed. Renovation of the greenhouse is a joint project of the 4th and 5th grade classes at the school and the Surry Garden Club. The greenhouse would then be used to start garden plants that would be transplanted to existing raised beds at the school. Lettuce, kale and other leafy greens would be planted early and used in the school cafeteria. Tomatoes, peppers and other transplantable produce would be started in the greenhouse and then moved to the raised beds for harvest over the summer and into the fall with the produce being used in the cafeteria.
This project is one of a number of joint projects of the school and the Garden club. The intent of these activities is to expose children to the benefits and joys of gardening/horticulture. Past projects included planting of tulips and daffodils for school beautification, distribution of sugar maple saplings to all students on Arbor Day (including a presentation on maple syrup collection/production), distribution of day lilies to all students and staff at the end of school in June, and presentations of hydroponic growth of plants.
While the 4th and 5th grade classes will be the classes primarily involved with the project, all students will have the opportunity to use the greenhouse.
