For a certain segment of the population, museums are considered the spinster librarian of travel fun. But staid and boring are not words you would apply to exhibits coming to Michigan museums this winter.
Blustery days provide an ideal excuse to stick around long enough to really look and reflect on the artworks and artifacts.
In Detroit
You can spend a day playing sleuth with potentially forged works of art at the Detroit Institute of Arts. The hands-on exhibit, "Fakes, Forgeries and Mysteries," highlights ways in which curators determine whether DIA collection works are real, and if so, who created the piece and when. Bring a cell phone to access DIA Director Graham Beal's commentary of the exhibit (dia.org; 313-833-7900).
The sketches of another arts master, Picasso, are the focus of a highlighted exhibit, "Picasso," running from Dec. 4 to Feb. 27 at the Flint Institute of Art. Picasso created more than 2,500 prints and countless drawings; the exhibit presents 40 examples of the artist's graphic works from throughout his career, and a January lecture series complements the art with discussion topics such as The Cubist Epoch and the Spanish Civil War (flintarts.org; 810-234-1695).
In Kalamazoo
The works of more modern-day masters, specifically National Geographic photographers, can be found at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts. "In Focus: National Geographic's Greatest Portraits" features iconic photographs from the pages of the magazine, and runs through Jan. 2. This museum also is hosting a series of talks, tours and events related to the exhibit (kiarts.org; 269-349-7775).
While you may not be fortunate enough to take your camera to the most exotic places on earth, you can travel there, virtually, through a couple of other exhibits across the state — both featuring diverse ways people have chosen for expression and celebration.
In Traverse City
What various international celebrations say about the role of women is the focus of "Celebrating Women," running through Jan. 2 at the Dennos Museum Center in Traverse City.
Forty-two vibrant color photographs by international photojournalist Paola Gianturco look at rites of passage, spiritual beliefs and more. That's done through photographs of celebrations that feature a specific woman's role, such as the Reed Dance of Swaziland (women as virgins); Poland's Noc Swietojaysk Festival (women as magical); India's Kali Puja (women as warriors); Sweden's Festival of Sankta Lucia (women as kind), and others.
Concurrent exhibits include textile art featuring women's costumes, based on ethnic design, and "Memories," a collection of hand-stitched art by women in Peru (celebratingwomen.com; dennosmuseum.org; 231-995-1055).
In East Lansing
What those often-frightening masks worn in many cultural rituals actually symbolize is covered in the Michigan State University Museum exhibit, "Mask," running Feb. 13 through Jan. 22, 2012. The exhibit includes masks in the museum collection never publicly displayed and others collected from across the world.
As you're reminiscing about those younger days spent poring over toy catalogs to make that list for Santa, there's no better place to head than to "Toys: Batteries Not Included," also running at the MSU museum, through March 6. This collection features toys made or frequently used in Michigan, including Lionel trains, Daisy air rifles and Susy Goose Toys, a Jonesville-based company known for its play housecleaning sets.
(museum.msu.edu; 517-373-3559.)
The iconic model train is the toy centerpiece of "The Romance of the Rails," running through Dec. 23 at the Midland Center for the Arts. The exhibit also celebrates the golden age of the railroad through photographs by several artists and includes a train-themed interactive play area for kids (mcfta.org; 989-631-5930).
In Grand Rapids
The state's best place for a museum weekend, as getaway or tourist-in-your-own-town experience, has to be Grand Rapids, which is concurrently featuring two of the country's most buzz-worthy traveling museum collections.
The provocative "Bodies Revealed" is on display at the Public Museum of Grand Rapids through May 1. As a noteworthy addition to the full or partial bodies on display, all donated to science, local health care providers, anatomy professors and other experts often will be present to discuss the exhibit with museum guests. The exhibit allows for an inside peek into various body systems with a focus on how lifestyle choices affect health. (grmuseum.org; 616-456-3977).
Also, at the Grand Rapids Art Museum through Feb. 16, "Diana — A Celebration," will feature the life and humanitarian work of the late Diana, Princess of Wales. As part of the museum's 100th anniversary celebration, nine galleries will feature 150 artifacts from Diana's life, all on loan from her family, and including her royal wedding gown, famed designer dresses and family heirlooms, including home movies and personal photos (artmuseumgr.org; 616-831-1000).

Molecular oncology continues to unravel the fundamental interplay among normally occurring, growth-promoting genes (oncogenes), tumor suppressor genes, and cell cycle regulators that determines the balance between cellular growth and differentiation. Mechanisms that perturb this balance can result in malignant transformation and increasingly serve as molecular targets for manipulation.
Recent innovations in molecular technology provide an increasingly sensitive dissection of the normal mechanisms by which tumor suppressor genes modulate cell growth. For example, the protein product of the tumor suppressor gene p53 (located on the short arm of chromosome 17, 17p13) may exert its net growth inhibitory activity by binding to (and altering the function of) specific sequences of DNA.1,2 In response to certain types of DNA damage (eg, UV light), the p53 protein is upregulated, prolonging the G1 phase of the cell cycle and allowing the cell time to repair DNA breaks.3 Cells with aberrant net p53 expression

Now that most European leagues have seen their winter transfer window come to an end, we're left with our bi-annual dosage of transfer rumours that were pushed and pushed yet never came to fruition.
The influence of the media in purporting these possibilities is one not to be underestimated and the mere mention of a potential transfer can often see fans enter into hysteria.
For whatever reason, be it economical, sentimental or just downright logical, the following 10 moves are ones that didn't come off but should have.
If there are any players left out of the running that you feel should have been included, please feel free to note them down in the comments section below.

Air Force Football: Starting Right Tackle Sevrin Remmo Weighs Just 240 Pounds
September 4th, 2014| by Lost Lettermen
There are undersized offensive linemen, and then there's Air Force's Sevrin Remmo.
The 6-foot-3, 240-pound starting right tackle confirmed his eye-catching weight with the Colorado Springs Gazette and talked about what it is like to play as a relative bean pole in a world of 300-pounders.
"I tend to fare less well when I have people running at a full sprint and running into my chest. But if I can get my hands on them and use my quickness that way I can be pretty effective in that front as well.
"I think it's a lot of fun running all over the field as a lineman and trying to get to the second level a lot. I think it's going to be effective for us."
Well, as long as he's having fun.

Lower Mount Bethel Township supervisors Monday night voted to apply for a grant to upgrade the township's website, as part of a joint project with Upper Mount Bethel Township, Mount Bethel Township and the Martins Jacoby Watershed Association.
Supervisor John Mauser said the township's application must be submitted by Sept. 9. He estimated the township's cost at $1,300 or less.
"I think we can get our money's worth,' he said. The grant money is not expected to be awarded until October.
The supervisors also discussed hiring Ken Brown as the township's emergency management coordinator at $800 and asked Brown if he could write a plan stating his short and long-term goals and how many hours it may take to complete them before the board makes a final decision.
The supervisors also interviewed members of Keystone Code Consulting and Enforcement, which the township is considering hiring for zoning services.
In an update on the possible resumption of stump-grinding operations in the township, supervisors' chairman Stu Gallaher said the decision rests with the Department of Environmental Protection, not the supervisors, who have so far approved the transfer of property between Ron and Sharon Angle and Gravel Hill Enterprises, subject to conditions on how stump-grinding operations could be conducted there, such as the number of trips in and out of the property per day.
One of the principals involved in Gravel Hill Enterprises, Gerald DiDomenico, of North Salem, N.Y., bought the former Stine Farm at a U.S. Marshals sale in 2008 for $241,000. At his last appearance before the supervisors, he said DEP has so far approved of the cleanup operations that must be completed before operations can resume.
The stump-graining operations have a long and troubled history in the township.

ESU Partners With Marywood University To Offer Master of Social Work
Due to a rapidly growing demand for social workers with graduate degrees, Marywood University in Scranton, PA will begin a partnership with East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania (ESU) to offer a Master of Social Work program on ESU's campus this fall. The program will be known as Marywood's Pocono Program at East Stroudsburg University.
"Our relationship with Marywood University will improve the quality of life in Northeast Pennsylvania," said Marilyn Wells, Ph.D., M.P.H, ESU vice provost and dean of the graduate college. "It's really designed to be an interwoven program, involving students and faculty in public service and leadership in the educational and economic development of the region. We anticipate new opportunities for service projects and research where the faculty and students are working side by side to serve our communities."
Marywood University has been one of the premiere educators of social workers in Pennsylvania since they began offering the major in 1969. The courses for the new program will be held at ESU on Saturdays to accomodate students already in the work force. Classes will be taught largely by Marywood professors, and the M.S.W. degree will be conferred by Marywood.
Students with a bachelor's degree in social work from an accredited program can apply for advanced standing in the master's program, which means they will be required to earn 39 credits. Students with a bachelor's degree in another field will be required to earn 60 credits for their M.S.W. ESU is working toward accreditation of its bachelor of science degree in social work, which will enable its graduates to later earn a master's degree in social work in a shorter span of time.
The program is beginning at a time when social workers are in high demand. According to the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, the profession is expected to add more than 161,000 social workers from 2010 to 2020. They are employed in a broad spectrum of settings, including schools, hospitals, substance abuse treatment facilities and community mental health centers. They work with clients across the lifespan including children at risk, families in poverty, and the aging.
"Social workers are initially trained to be generalist practitioners and then specialize through advanced training and education," said John Kraybill-Greggo, Ph.D., M.S.W., L.S.W., and A.C.S.W., associate professor and chair of the ESU Department of Sociology, Social Work and Criminal Justice. "In the health care field alone, the U.S. Department of Labor is predicting a 34 percent growth in the need for social workers and a lot of that has to do with the projected needs of baby boomers."
"Nationally, social work has been listed as one of the top professional programs for the next few years, in terms of need," said Lloyd Lyter, Ph.D., M.S.W., L.S.W., director of Marywood's Pocono Program. "Social workers are the primary providers of mental health services in the United States. There are social workers in virtually every kind of setting."
According to Dr. Lyter, there is already a lot of interest in the program from potential students at ESU. Both he and Dr. Kraybill-Greggo said both faculties are looking forward to collaborating on research, community work and symposiums.
To celebrate the program, key stakeholders from ESU and Marywood will participate in a signing celebration to mark this new joint venture on Friday, June 14 at 1 p.m. in ESU Innovation Center, located at 562 Independence Road, East Stroudsburg, PA.
For more information about the Marywood master's degree in social work at ESU, contact Ann L. Williams, Marywood University graduate admissions, or Lyter, director, school of social work and administrative studies.

WASHINGTON - Making good on a campaign promise, President Barack Obama announced Monday tax reforms that he says will level the playing field and prevent jobs from being exported.
Despite the move, however, some worry the president is stifling global competition.
For too long President Obama says wealthy Americans and companies have been allowed to walk through holes in the tax code, avoiding paying their fair share and reaping rewards for moving jobs overseas.
"It's a tax code that says you should pay lower taxes if you create a job in Banglaore, India than if you create one in Buffalo, New York," Obama said Monday.
He's now vowing to eliminate those loopholes and improve the government's ability to enforce the law by hiring 800 full time IRS employees devoted to catching businesses and individuals hiding income.
The president is also asking Congress to pass a law requiring overseas banks to disclose how much income their American clients are generating.
Obama says he'll assume banks that don't cooperate are sheltering tax evaders.
Combined, his measures will save $210 billion over the next 10 years, but some economists worry he's leading the U.S. in the wrong direction..
"This is foolishness," said J.D. Foster of the Heritage Foundation. "It's going to hurt jobs. It's going to hurt our companies ability to compete."
The president says he'll use money recovered through tax reform to reward companies that invest in the U.S.

Parents may think they put their kids' sleep problems to bed once their children are slumbering through the night. But studies show a quarter of school-aged children have nighttime issues. Dr. Jose Colon is a pediatric neurologist who specializes in sleep disorders at the Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida.
"Having a sleep disorder can directly give symptoms of ADHD."
Kids who don't get enough sleep are often tired, cranky, aggressive and my have trouble in school. All the result of being worn out and run down.
Number one on our list of sleep stealers: sleep apnea and snoring. It causes sufferers to briefly stop breathing throughout the night.
"Obstructive sleep apnea is common in the pediatric population. Three percent of children can have obstructive sleep apnea however about nine to ten percent can have what's called benign primary snoring which means they are snoring," says Dr. Colon.
In adults, sleep apnea is usually caused by excess weight. In children it's generally their tonsils.
"There are surgical treatment options available. Surgery is usually considered the gold standard for kids less than six or eight years old," says Dr. Javaad, a sleep specialist with Lee Physician Specialists.
The next sleep stealer is anxiety. Kids today face pressure to succeed. If stress is keeping them up at night, the best thing you can do is help them work through their fears.
Physical conditions like allergies, asthma and reflux are the next sleep stealers. If your child has them, plan to treat the ailments before bedtime.
The final sleep stealer: periodic limb movement.
"In period limb movement disorder you have a limb movement or limb jerk. Mostly it's of either the toes or the leg. For it to be called periodic you need to have a minimum of four leg jerks that are anywhere between one to 90 seconds apart," says Dr. Colon.
Clinical sleep disorders are best diagnosed by a sleep specialist.
"You make the diagnosis, you get started on the treatment and it's like your newborn. You get a good nights sleep and you're vitalized you're rejuvenated," says Dr. Khan.
With the right assistance, your youngsters should be snoozing through the night again.

Prostate Cancer: Some Facts
Prostate cancer is a male disease. It starts to appear at a gland in men's reproductive system. Like other cancer early detection can enhance the chances of survival. The prostate gland is a small walnut sized part of the male reproductive system which is responsible for creating the chemical components of the semen. This condition is characterized by uncontrolled growth of the abnormal cells in the prostate gland. Mostly every prostate cancer is adenocarcinoma, which formulates in glands. Other types of cancers normally originate in other parts of the body and then through the blood stream travels to the prostate and then impregnates the prostate with these germs.

HONOLULU - A federal judge said she's inclined to deny a motion by a North Carolina man to move his trial over a failed University of Hawaii concert that was supposed to feature Stevie Wonder.
Marc Hubbard's attorneys filed a motion last month to move the trial to North Carolina or Florida. The motion argues that Hubbard, a club and concert promoter from Waxhaw, N.C., can't get a fair trial in Hawaii because of negative publicity over what's been dubbed the "Wonder Blunder."
Authorities say Hubbard claimed he had connections to secure Wonder for a fundraiser for the university's athletic department. The school paid a $200,000 deposit, began selling tickets and later learned that neither Wonder nor his representatives authorized a show.
Thousands of tickets had to be refunded, leading to embarrassment for the school and various investigations.
It's not about the amount of publicity, but rather whether any of it is demonizing of Hubbard, to require moving the trial, Judge Leslie Kobayashi said at a hearing Monday in Honolulu. She agreed there has been a considerable amount of publicity over the incident, which "has its own nickname. It's infamous." But she said, "the publicity has to be of a certain tenor or type" that singled out Hubbard.
"In their pleadings, the defendant makes reference to various forms of publicity concerning the Stevie Wonder concert that was the basis for the crime charged in the indictment," Assistant U.S. Attorney Leslie Osborne Jr. wrote in opposition to the motion. "There is no indication as to what those articles say about the defendant, Marc Hubbard."
The motion also argues that it would be more convenient to hold the trial out of Hawaii because many witnesses would have a long way to travel. Kobayashi noted that technology could help address that.
Hubbard, on home detention as a condition of his release on $200,000 bond, listened to the hearing via telephone.
Kobayashi set oral arguments on the motion for Dec. 2.

I have been to VMworld the past two years and each year there are more vendors and customers attending. This just goes to show how VMware is growing as a company. Two years ago I believe there were about 12k people and last year there was about 16k people attending, that is in the US show only. All of the vendors are trying to get a piece of the pie because they notice the customer base is growing at a rapid rate. The company usually makes an announcement or two during the week and the stock price usually moves north just because of the new products that they are offering as well as there affiliated vendors/partners making announcements. I don't see any other company in the virtualization space that is a threat to VMware at this point, so if you can't beat em, join em. That is why there are so many companies that are partners and design products specifically to integrate with VMware. I feel we can easily see the stock price go over 100 by Friday, that is if the market also cooperates.
vmworld still goes down...hahaha, what a joke
you have been a joker since you became a short well below 90.
Motley owns VMW shares. They are good at picking the leaders in the field. They own AAPL GOOG AMZN. They also own BIDU, own/ recommended SINA SOHU. AAPL up over $11 AH on Friday. Tech looks strong. We will see tomorrow....
I can see VMW jumping quickly on any move up from here, any news will cause buyers to run in. With eanrings around the corner, we will be over $98 in a week.

Charter One aids Second Harvest
YOUNGSTOWN - To help thousands of local residents enjoy a healthy holiday meal this season, the Charter One Foundation has donated $10,000 to the Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley as part of its Carving Out Hunger program. The donation will provide 2,035 chickens for Thanksgiving dinner or an estimated 6,907 meals to people in need.
"We are proud to join our friends at the Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley for Charter One's Carving Out Hunger program to ensure thousands of hungry people have nutritious meals for the holidays," said Ken Marblestone, president of Charter One and RBS Citizens in Ohio.
In the first six month of 2012, there was an 18 percent increase in the number of people seeking assistance in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties compared to the same timeframe last year. Member agencies of church pantries and homeless shelters are filling more than 14,000 requests for emergency food assistance each week in the tri-county area, and the number is anticipated to increase as we move closer to the winter months and energy costs increase.
The chickens, which total 10,360 pounds and equal approximately 6,907 meals, will be distributed through the Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley's 153 member agencies in the tri-county area.

If we use Word like a typewriter, just entering text and printing and closing our files, we probably don't care about being able to select text. But as soon as you want to format, or you want to change the text that you've already entered in your document, you need to be able to select. You can select text using the mouse or the keyboard. You can select characters, words, sentences, and paragraphs, and you can select these things, even if they aren't next to each other, even if they aren't contiguous. To select any amount of text, you move the mouse so that your insertion point is in front of the text that you want to select.
So you'll click once, then you'll hold the mouse, and you'll drag. As long as you don't release the mouse button, you are still in the process of selecting. So when you have the text selected that you wish, go ahead and release the mouse button. If you start in the middle of a word to select, you'll notice that the entire word gets selected. Word assumes that if you move outside the boundaries of one word that you intended to select the entire word that you were working with. If I select a group of words, I can then hold the Ctrl key and select another group of words.
Now to select using the keyboard, just a random area of text, I can either Click+Shift and click somewhere else, or I can Click+Shift and use the arrow keys to select text. If I then wanted to select another block of text that's not contiguous, I can let go of the Shift, hold Ctrl+ Click and then select additional text. If you're going to select multiple non- contiguous blocks of text, you're better off using the mouse.
Now some shortcut keys with the mouse, to select one word, double-click in the word. To select one sentence, hold the Ctrl key down. Click anywhere in the sentence. You'll notice that Word knows where a sentence ends, because it ends with a period, a question mark, an exclamation point, some terminal punctuation. So Ctrl and click anywhere to select an entire sentence. To select a paragraph, move to the left until the pointer point back to a right pointing arrow and then double-click or triple-click anywhere in the paragraph.
You have to be fast on the triple click, or it treats it as a double-click and then a single click, but three clicks will select the entire paragraph. Now what if you have text that spans across pages or spans past the screen? I think this is one of the hardest things is as you scroll and pull down, the document will start scrolling fast and farther down you pull, the faster it will scroll. So if I pull way down, notice I get a pretty quick scroll, and I can easily select more text than I want to select.
Don't be afraid to use a combination where you click and then you scroll to the point where you want to end. Hold Shift and click again in order to select a specific section that's off the screen. But also remember, as I'm scrolling, faster perhaps than I want to, rather than letting go, I can always simply pull back up and stop the scroll and select the text that I want to select. To select the entire document, we have several ways to do it. You can go out to the left, and where we double-click to select a paragraph, we can triple click to select the entire document.
But the shortcut key for this is really easy to remember: hold Ctrl and hit A for all, and the entire document will be selected. There are other keyboard shortcuts that are worth knowing. Press Home to go to the start of a line, for example; End to move to the end of that same line. And if we hold Ctrl, it always amplifies the key that you're already pressing. So if I hit Home, I go to the start line. Ctrl+Home=, I go to the start of my document. Ctrl+End, I go to the End of my entire document.
Shift is used to select. So if, for example, I wanted to select all the text from here down, I can do that with the mouse. If I held Ctrl+End right now, I would go to the End. If I add Shift, Ctrl+Shift+End, I'll select all of the text between here and the end of the document. So Ctrl to amplify, Shift to select. If you're selecting entire your words or paragraphs, it's almost always faster to use the mouse, double-click or to triple click. If you're selecting irregular blocks of text that are not next each other, the mouse is also a better bet in combination with the Ctrl key.
But if you're selecting the entire document, or moving to the start or the end of a document or a line, the keyboard shortcuts are almost always the fastest way to move around. To be really efficient in Word 2010, learn to use text using both the mouse and the keyboard shortcuts and use whatever makes the most sense as you're editing your document.

Walk purposefully, like you know where you're going. That's right; don't look at your map! Could you be any more obvious that you're a newbie? I'm sure building 9 is around here somewhere…
Where has my memory gone since I finished Year 12? One thing's for sure- it's definitely going to be making a comeback, now that I've started my Bachelors in Professional Communication at RMIT.
People and names
After a month at uni, I think I'm settling in and actually really enjoying it. It's very different to my Catholic, all-girls high school.
· It's co-ed, which is a welcome change.
· You use your lecturers' first name- there's no "Miss/Mrs/Sir" here.
· There's definitely more freedom.
If you don't turn up to class, no-one calls home to see why you wagged and you're not issued with a late slip. In fact, sometimes you're lucky if your lecturer/tutor even knows your name let alone remembers what you look like. For a few weeks my cinema tutor could've sworn my name was 'Amy'. But to his credit, this week we began a correct first-name basis!
Self-directed learning
Another key difference about uni is that it's all self-directed learning. No-one really tells you what your homework is, what you should be studying, how often to study or even when the mid semester tests are coming up.
And if you ask about any of the above, in my experience, the tutors simply respond "Check the course guide/look it up/it's not my problem you've been spoon fed for the last 13 years!!!"
But once I worked out I'd have to start 'helping myself', things have been less confusing. Assessment tasks are coming up in the next few weeks, so the results of my 'self-directed' learning shall soon be discovered.
Extra-curricular stuff
What I have learned is that to make the most of being an RMIT Communications student you have to get involved in extra-curricular activities. That's right- you actually need to do something more than just sit back comfortably in your course. Remember that annoying saying "you only get out what you put in"? Well, it's pretty spot on.
I've joined the:
· Student Union
· Syn Community Radio station
· RMITV station
· The performing arts club.
· Written my first article for RMIT's student magazine, 'The Catalyst'.
· Started my own blog
· Become one of "those" people on twitter
Doing these extra activities is especially important for a communications course because:
- You're constantly confronted with anxiety about the changing face of journalism because of social media.
- You gain valuable experience in the field you want to work in
- It's fun
- You get to meet new people!
New people
I think meeting new people would have to be one of the best things about university life. They are diverse, interesting and talented. All have their own unique 'story' and similar interests to you because you do a similar course, so finding some 'common ground' is easy.
My first month of uni has been a time of excitement, a little anxiety, early morning starts and once a week late finishes, enlightenment and inspiration.
Let's just say, if it wasn't for my uni course, I most likely wouldn't be writing this blog post right now!
For a few weeks my cinema tutor could�ve sworn my name was �Amy�. But to his credit, this week we began a correct first-name basis

The full report is titled "Primary Care Interventions to Prevent Tobacco Use in Children and Adolescents: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement." It is in the 15 October 2013 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 159, pages 552-557). The author is V.A. Moyer, on behalf of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
This article was published online first at www.annals.org on 26 August 2013.
Summaries for Patients are a service provided by Annals to help patients better understand the complicated and often mystifying language of modern medicine.

The summaries may be reproduced for not-for-profit educational purposes only. Any other uses must be approved by the American College of Physicians.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) developed these recommendations. The USPSTF is a group of health experts that reviews published research and makes recommendations about preventive health care.
Tobacco use, most commonly in the form of cigarette smoking, is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Smoking increases a person's risk for heart disease, lung disease, dental disease, and some types of cancer. Nicotine is the addictive substance in tobacco; it can make quitting very difficult.
A person's path to daily smoking and nicotine dependence can be described in 5 stages: susceptible to smoking (never smoked), initiation (trying the first cigarette), experimentation (repeatedly trying cigarettes, may show signs of addiction), established smoking (regular smoking, likely to show signs of addiction), and nicotine dependence.
Children and adolescents are susceptible to smoking initiation and experimentation. Although it can take up to 2 years to develop nicotine addiction, some children and adolescents develop addiction more quickly. Many strategies aim to discourage people from using tobacco, including public service messages, restrictions on smoking in public, taxes and age restrictions for tobacco purchases, education, and counseling by health care providers. The USPSTF wanted to develop recommendations about whether children and adolescents should receive interventions to prevent tobacco use as part of routine primary care.
The USPSTF reviewed published research on the effectiveness of primary care interventions on the rates of starting and stopping tobacco use in children and adolescents. It also looked for studies of the effect of these interventions on health outcomes, whether young smokers continued to smoke as adults, and the harms of these interventions.
The USPSTF found that interventions, such as face-to-face or telephone interactions with a health care provider, written materials, and computer applications, can lower the risk for smoking initiation in school-aged children and adolescents. The USPSTF believes that the harms of such interventions are small or none.
The USPSTF recommends that primary care clinicians provide interventions, including education or brief counseling, to prevent school-aged children and adolescents from ever trying a first cigarette.
These recommendations do not address what primary care clinicians should do for children and adolescents who are already regular smokers.

Regarding the article by the Rev. David Hegg "What is happening to the U.S.?" (May 26): To write negatively about the young American generation is very unfair, and untrue.
We read about the young American generation risking their lives to save others. They join the American forces to protect the country and excel at colleges and universities.
The "empty-self" Americas are the very few. We know that it is in the order of creation that "empty-self" people have existed throughout history.
Some are born with nervous disorders, unbalanced personalities and mental deficiencies. But the majority of people, old or young, are people with honor, integrity and respect for mankind and to the living God.
The article is sadly negative and does not represent the young majority.
What is happening in the U.S. is a youth trend for generosity to support hospitals, help victims of natural disasters, feed the hungry, treat the sick, live the American spirit and support underdeveloped countries to form democratic governments.
It hurts, to a certain extent, to read that the U.S. started to expect less from few young people when the majority live with no limits to be proud, brave, giving, sharing and full of optimism.
If the intention of the article is to direct and help the young who are not in conformity with the American culture, using encouraging and optimistic remarks can be proved to be more effective and raise the bar.
The great quality of the American young should not be undermined.

Sunblogging: Day 4 of the Sundance Film Festival
Day 4 — and dare I say it? It looks like it is not snowing! Oops, too late, here comes another wave. The other day, I wrote about a film being "predictable". As I think about it, I don't think there is anything wrong with a film being predictable. When we see the ending we expect, it reinforces our view of the world and we leave the theater feeling secure. Unpredictable endings can be unsettling. When I saw the George Clooney film, Up and Away, in which the plot at one point takes an unusual twist, there was an audible gasp from ... Read More »

The Nerve-Wracking Rescue of Kidnapped Heiress Barbara Mackle – Part 2 of 3
Word got out that Robert Mackle's daughter Barbara, age 20, had been kidnapped in the early morning hours of December 17, 1968. Everyone in Florida and throughout the nation who knew of the Mackles was shocked and paralyzed. Their concern and fear during the early Christmas season of 1968 paralleled the emotions felt 36 years earlier when the Lindbergh baby was kidnapped and then found dead. On Marco Island, in the Mackle brothers' brand new development, no one could talk or think of anything but the kidnapping. It was as if a local child had been taken. All radios were ... Read More »

Just before 11 a.m. today, it was announced officially after a manual recount at the office of the Supervisor of elections, that incumbent Ted Forcht did not gain sufficient votes to maintain a seat on the Marco Island City Council. The recount was called because of the narrow margin of winning votes received by the other incumbent, Chuck Kiester. Since the difference between them was less than .25%, this review was mandatory under Florida law. As a result of the recount, Chuck Kiester received two more votes to keep his lead, while Ted Forcht gained only three – not enough ... Read More »

The amount of energy we receive from the sun is spectacular by any measurement. It's hard to imagine, but the earth only receives one two-billionth of the sun's total energy.

Local Organizations 'Bag' Kids Against Hunger Program
Recently, Wanda Day, President of the Sunrise Rotary Club and Event Chair Wayne Purvis gave local residents an opportunity to participate in the 'Kids Against Hunger' project. Steve Popper, a Naples Rotary Club member brought the program which bags food for those in need to Southwest Florida in August 2007. Since then, over 6,000,000 meals have been packaged locally. Although Kids Against Hunger bagging events are held periodically in Naples, it was the first event for Marco Island. Supported by the Sunrise Rotary Club, Marco Island Chamber of Commerce, and the Kiwanis Club, over 200 people representing organizations such as ... Read More »
Veteran's Community Park Tree Project
Recently a group of residents met at Mackle Park to discuss applying for available grant monies through the State of Florida to plant trees at Veteran's Community Park. Carla Mickes explained the various processes and requirements for grant applications as gathered from Parks and Recreation Director, Bryan Milk and Leslie Sanford from the City of Marco Island's Public Utilities Department. The goal of the committee is to plant trees in small clusters in different areas of Veteran's Community Park to enhance the park's visual appeal and increase the usability of the park by offering shade during the summer months.

Handy Household (and other) Hints
One of the reasons I was always a fan of the Olde Farmers' Almanac, was for its Handy Hints. I can't claim to have discovered the following, but they work for me. Has the grout between your tiles turned a weird shade — does it resist cleaning? This takes a bit of time, but people to whom I have recommended this hint have found it worthwhile and relatively easy to do. Purchase flat, acrylic paint in the color you wish, and simply apply to the grout. There is no need to be extra fussy – just make sure the grout ... Read More »
Robert College
The year was 1860. Abraham Lincoln was elected President of a young United States of America; South Carolina seceded from the Union; a possible Civil War was looming in the future. In Europe, once a mighty Empire, the Ottomans were in a slow but certain decline. In Istanbul, the capital city of the Ottoman Empire, a young American missionary, Cyrus Hamlin was busy trying to establish an American School, having arrived there in 1839. A graduate of the Bangor Theological Seminary in 1837 by way of Bowdoin College, Mr. Hamlin was born in Waterford, Maine to the prominent Hamlin family ... Read More »
Book Review: The Healing of America
This book is a must for anyone confused by talk of health care plans. Well, I guess that just about covers everyone. T.R. Reid's "global quest for better, cheaper, and fairer health care" is an easy-to-read explanation of the choices that exist and some of the tunnel-visioned, mind-blocked people who will be making them. Reid begins with the sad tale of 32-year old Nikki White who died prematurely of lupus. Once diagnosed, she could not get heath insurance. She had too much money to qualify for medical welfare assistance, yet could not afford to pay for doctors' services and medications herself. ... Read More »

Swinging in the Breeze
Loft and getting the ball to fly high is a result of swinging the club head down and contacting the ball on the downswing. A downward blow creates backspin which, in turn, produces lift. The golf club goes in an upward motion on the backswing, reaches the top of the swing and starts downward until it reaches the bottom of the arc where it begins to travel upward. When a person fails to meet the ball on the downswing or at the bottom of the swing, the club head starts upward and contacts the middle or top of the ball ... Read More »

Top Role Playing Games of 2010
- 1
- 2
Welcome to VideoGamer.com's top role playing games of 2010, a list of the best videogames, generated by editorial reviews and popularity on the site. Here's a look at our favourites...
Remember, this list is in descending order! VideoGamer.com is always open to hearing about your opinion. Would your list be different? If so let us know on the Forums or tweet us @VideoGamerCom.
Phantasy Star 0
Phantasy Star 0 doesn't quite live up to the memory of Phantasy Star Online from 2000, which if nothing else, highlights just how far the genre has come in the last ten years.
White Knight Chronicles
There's a lot to enjoy here if you can look past the flaws. Ultimately, however, there are better JRPGs out there, and White Knight Chronicles is far from the spectacle we were all expecting.
Mass Effect 2 - Kasumi - Stolen Memory
Kasumi, and this DLC, is nothing more than a disappointing distraction. Is it worth the cash? Probably, just about, if you're in love with Mass Effect 2?
Alpha Protocol
Alpha Protocol sounds incredibly alluring, combining the best elements of the RPG and action genres with a refreshing concept. In executing that concept, however, the game falls apart at the seams.
Final Fantasy XIII
You can't escape the feeling that, in trimming the fat from the series, Square Enix has nicked FFXIII's bone. It's not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination; but it's too linear.
Resonance of Fate
RPG fans who lean towards story and character development may want to stick with Final Fantasy, but for those willing to try something different, Resonance of Fate could be just the ticket.
Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days
Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days sees the unashamedly hardcore strategy game return to the PSP in style. It is a bottomless pit of gameplay that will command your attention from start to finish.
Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening
Dragon Age enthusiasts should consider Awakening an essential purchase. It offers more of the same - no bad thing - in a great value package.
3D Dot Game Heroes
3D Dot Game Heroes wraps you up in a blanket of nostalgia and whisks you off to a world that just isn't seen in video games today.
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
While clichéd, the story is entertaining, the battle system is refined and the visuals are impressive. It's very Dragon Quest. There's no denying the quality of the role playing on offer.

To help determine levels of current School Travel Plan (STP) activity in Hampshire and to assist in the determination of Planning Applications (where a STP is required) the County Council has devised assessment criteria for schools developing and implementing STPs (defined below).
Level One – Working Towards a School Travel Plan (STP)
A school that has taken ownership of travel issues and is keen to implement measures to address and resolve them.
(Two out of three criteria to be met to define a school as level one)
- School Travel Initiatives in place, for example:
- HCC approved walking initiative
- HCC approved cycling initiative
- STP presentation to school by STP coordinator or delegated other
- Named contact within the school for STP
Level Two – Draft School Travel Plan (STP)
A school that has prepared and submitted a draft STP (that includes specific targets and actions) in consultation with the school community. (Both of the criteria to be met to define a school as Level Two)
- Representative Working Group established with terms of reference
- Draft STP produced and submitted to the School Travel Plan Co-ordinator, including:
- Outline of current situation and survey
- Specific measurable targets
- Action plan (including dates)
- Plans for monitoring
Level Three – Active School Travel Plan (STP)
A school that has had its STP adopted by the school community, and submits annual progress reports with supporting evidence of achievements. School requiring a STP as part of a Planning Application will need to achieve Level Three for their STP to be approved by the School Travel Plan Co-ordinator.
(Both of the criteria to be met to define school as Level Three - Schools should also have taken part in the annual hands-up survey)
- STP adopted by the Full Governing Body and included within the School Development Plan
- Annual review of STP and targets and evidence of progress achieved

Every couple of years, we get the pleasant task of endorsing Joe Souki for the Waihee-Wailuku state House of Representatives seat.
This year there is even a bit more excitement because there is talk Souki may serve again as speaker of the House. He now holds the exalted title of Speaker Emeritus (a fancy way of saying former speaker) but there are members of the Democratic caucus who would like to replace Calvin Say - and Souki is the logical candidate.
Souki served as speaker for five years, beginning in 1993.
As we've written here previously, what we like most about Souki is that he is everybody's representative. As we wrote when we endorsed him in 2008, "Mr. Souki is known for even helping constituents with views he doesn't support - he'll give advice on the best way to get your ideas heard. He is simply Maui's gem and takes seriously his role of representing all of his constituents."
He will work with anyone to benefit his constituents. We remember former Republican Gov. Linda Lingle thanking Souki and Sen. J. Kalani English for their parts in helping craft an economic stimulus plan during her tenure.
We've referred to him as the best legislator in the state and it is hard to imagine anyone who could do a better job as speaker. In conclusion, we'd sum up by using a couple of lines from another old editorial about Souki: "He isn't flashy. He's far from charismatic. Joe Souki is a legislator who knows his job and does it. Go get 'em, Joe."
We'd urge voters to send Souki back for another term as the representative from state House District 8.

Not claustrophobic, but don't feel I should have to share my seat with some fat slob. Sorry the little numbers on the bench don't prevent huge asses from coming onto the seat I paid for.

COBA student recognized at statewide HR conferencePosted November 12, 2013
Senior Kayli Huddleston received the 2013 Excellence in Education Scholarship at the Human Resources Southwest Conference, held in Fort Worth Oct. 20-23, 2013.
Huddleston was selected for recognition from a group representing more than 30 student chapters of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). She enjoyed having the opportunity to learn from the more than 2,000 human resources (HR) professionals who attended the conference, which is one of the largest of its kind in the nation.
"I am eager to learn all I can about the human resources field," says Huddleston, business management major from San Angelo. "I have had great classroom preparation, but the conference gave me a more real-world concept of the inner workings of HR."
Huddleston was presented with a $1,000 scholarship in addition to the net proceeds from the conference's silent auction. She will graduate this May and hopes to pursue an entry-level career in human resource management in either the Fort Worth or the Austin area.

Your Take: Ever Taken a Megabus or Bolt Bus?
|Email Print
I was reading a short little piece on $1 Megabus tickets when I thought back to my experience with one of these buses. I forget the name of the company (it was neither Megabus or Bolt Bus) but I purchased a $20 ticket from Baltimore to New York City to visit my parents when, before leaving Baltimore, the bus broke down. The oil cap had broken and the bus driver was trying to find a way to cap it, including stuffing a rag in it, so that he could make the trip. He only spoke Mandarin Chinese and I acted as translator for him and the passengers. It was a disaster and I opted to not take the bus since I'd rather skip the trip than face potential breakdown on the New Jersey Turnpike!
The most amazing part of that ordeal was one passenger who said "This has happened to me four times, this is unbelievable!" To which I thought to myself… I would've stopped using this company after the second time, assuming the first was a fluke. The Megabus and Bolt Buses look much nicer and with Megabus being owned by Coach USA, I'm inclined to believe they're a more professional and well-run organization.
That said, have you taken one of these buses and what did you think of it?

On 9/4 my XBox Live account was stolen and then migrated to Russia and my credit card charged for Microsoft points. I Promptly called Microsoft and they put it into investigation and locked the account. While on the phone with the rep. we managed to get the password reset and I gained control of the account again. After a couple of weeks the account was given back to me with full control, 10/3, and my money refunded except for one big issue.................the account is still migrated to Russia. I was told today on the phone there is no way for them to migrate it back to the United States. As an 8 year subscriber to XBox Live with multiple purchases, downloads, and my gamerscore I find this practice completely ridiculous. Why have an option for a migration if it can not be reversed?! It is an open door for criminals to completely *** loyal customers. I was told I could receive compensation but that doesn't mean anything if I can not have the full functionality of my account back. Because it is in russian I can not read anything, watch any videos, use netflix or download anything.
Is this anyway to treat a loyal customer? I don't think so and I am severely disappointed that I am being told nothing can be done. They put the account back into investigation to have it migrated back but I was told multiple times it isn't possible. So I don't know what they hope to achieve except offer me the loss of my 8 years of XBox gaming and the option to use a new account. I'm furious!! And yes this is my original account I am posting from it via the translator in google chrome.
If anyone wants to try to help, spread this story around or complain to Microsoft about this ridiculous business practice please do!
I seem not to be the only one to have their account compromised around this time.
I just read some more info and ti seems I will not be able to buy any content or renew my subscription even if I could read Russian as the card used has to have a Russian address. So in 8 months time this account will be completely dead!
I was reading up online trying to find you a helpful answer, but i cannot find very much.. I did find that you can migrate your account once every 12 months (that sucks ***) and that you should be able to change your language back to english from the dashboard, by turning it on without signing in, moving all the way to the right of that menu, and pressing A, then press A again, then go down twice and press A, english should be at the top. I would keep talking to microsoft support about this region change thing, they should be able to undo that.
Thanks for trying to help, I talked to them about the 12 month thing but the issue is they could speed up the migration but the migratable countries do not include the United States :(.
I also did change the language to english on the dashboard so at least my games and the main console page is in english. Everything that is xbox live related though is still in Russian. It sucks a lot right now. I was on the phone with support for an hour or more yesterday and even the manager told me there is no way for them to change it back.
I really appreciate you trying to help though I just don't see why they can't change the region back it's ridiuclous. I was told it was against some laws on multiple occassions but when I asked what law they could not tell me.
Funny thing is I just found someone who had their account migration reversed, even though it was UK to the US.
quartertothree.com/.../showthread.php 2nd Post BDGE
surely they could migrate you somewhere where they can migrate you again to US. I know its backwards but by that logic I mean why not?
Hey guys! So here's the deal with migrations: the only regions you can migrate to are the 9 new ones listed on the site. I don't believe phone support will manually move someone else, but they would be the only people to contact about it (support.xbox.com/contact-us). No one here on the forums will be able to assist you with this particular issue. Also, make sure to reference the SR# from the investigation when you call back.
Xbox Community Ambassadors TeamJoin the community!
That is part of the logic I considered as well CISphil but it seems to not be true. And Gwyther i'm aware of not being able to manually move someone or even acquire help on the forum for this issue. I contacted phone support as I said and was told flat out by the representative and their manager that it is impossible to move the account back to a United States account.
However today I called again and got a lady who was extremely helpful and went through more of the investigation with me. She says it has been escalated and the case is remaining open and I should receive an answer within 3 days. Also I got in contact with the other user who had their account hacked and then migrated to UK and successfully migrated back to a US account. So there does seem to be hope despite what phone support originally told me. It is a shame when so many people are spouting misinformation to me though and swearing up and down nothing can be done.
About an hour ago I received an email from a member of the "Exceptions" team and they should be calling me this week to further discuss the case.
Gwyther could you please keep the thread open until then as I would like to post up the resolution positive or negative, preferably positive. I don't know if there are rules for threads staying open or not........And Gwyther thanks for replying and trying to help I do appreciate it :)
Something is being done with it now it seems as my account went from 8 months of xbox live to zero now. I keep being asked to add payment information and all my friends and online games are not available at the moment. Looks like action is being taken.........../crosses fingers
SentnelAlso I got in contact with the other user who had their account hacked and then migrated to UK and successfully migrated back to a US account.
That's not possible, either, since the UK isn't one of the migratable regions any more than the US is. Whatever that user thinks happened, it wasn't a UK migration followed by migration back to the US. (Maybe there was simply UK profile info filled in.) Really, you need to expect that you won't be migrating your stolen, recovered profile out of Russia unless there have been major, unannounced changes in profile management and support... but a support agent is in this thread telling you that that hasn't happened.
Page 11 www.quartertothree.com/.../showthread.php
And really I should not be sitting here expecting my account to not be migrated back. That is completely unacceptable for Microsoft to have this option without any sort of confirmation or protection in case of a security breach such as this. You know what happened when my account got compromised I got one email saying my email address was changed and that was it. A simple security measure such as an email with a link to click to confirm the change sent to the original email address would have prevented this entire situation. Just simple practices such as two layer authentication as I just mentioned could have saved a large number of accounts on here.
Like I have said before I have been a subscriber to xbox live since it's infancy and to think for one second that a compromised account can not be rolled back to it's original settings prehack is inexcusable. What would you do if you lost your 8 year old live account? I have been a loyal customer for years and I expect some form of help in this. And it is obvious I am not a random or isolated case there are numerous people on here having the same issue so it needs to be addressed. I'm doing everything in my power to get this changed back and I will not stop trying until that happens.
I got a call yesterday from the XBox exceptions team with the same information as I have been told previously. There is no way to migrate the account back to the united states at the moment. We are working on it and do not have a timeframe for when it will be fixed. We do not know the exact code or law that prevents us from doing this.
They did give me a 3 month code for xbox live gold though...........but I won't be using it I have no desire to play xbox anymore unless I have my original account back in full working order. Having 8 years of games and DLC unavailable to me just completely killed my desire to play. I'll go back to PC gaming there are a lot of good releases coming soon with Star Wars The Old Republic and maybe even Diablo 3.
And I have to think that there has to be a security breach or something going on at Microsoft. My friend just got hacked as well and his credit card charged of course he was lucky and didn't have his account migrated. And considering all the cases of this on this forum it really points to something. I'll continue to update as things progress.........
