According to Katz (2009), "All physician and other health professional activities have the goal of prevention. What is to be prevented depends on the context, and the patient's position on the spectrum from health to disease." The construct of prevention is described as follows:
Primary Prevention: Refers to health promotion, which fosters wellness in general and thus reduces the likelihood of disease, disability, and premature death in a nonspecific manner, as well as specific protection against the inception of disease. Examples of the former include the promotion of physical activity and prudent dietary practices; smoking avoidance or cessation; and the mitigation of stress. Immunization is a clear example of the latter.
Secondary Prevention: Refers to the detection and management of presymptomatic disease, and the prevention of its progression to symptomatic disease. Screening is the dominant practice in this space, exemplified by cancer screening (e.g., mammography, colonoscopy), and cardiac risk screening (e.g., lipid testing, blood pressure screens).
Tertiary Prevention: Refers to the treatment of symptomatic disease in an effort to prevent its progression to disability, or premature death.
The preventive services recommendations referenced in this document refer to primary and secondary prevention strategies.
In determining the clinical appropriateness of a preventive service, a distinct set of principles must be critically considered. Recommendations must be evidence-based and clinically meaningful: there must be scientific evidence that persons who receive the preventive service experience better health outcomes than those who do not, and that the benefits are large enough to outweigh the harms. For a detailed example of the methodologic, scientific and administrative process of making evidence-based recommendations for preventive services, please refer to the USPSTF procedure manual.

Spectroscopy and spectrometry have been around for a long time; in the 'modern' era, spectroscopic instruments have been with us in one form or another for over 70 years. This is particularly true for that old 'workhorse' technique, UV-visible. So, by now it might be expected that there was a standardization and calibration environment to make the assurance of spectral data quality a matter of routine. However, nothing stands still in the application of analytical science to assuring quality. Very often it is the simple steps that are so easily forgotten, but fundamental to obtaining good quality data.

History & Mission
CPE synthesizes the many interdisciplinary and technologically enhanced teaching and learning initiatives and programs that occur throughout NJIT and makes all these available to adults 24 years and older who are non-traditional students who typically study part-time.
While the specific focus is on working professionals at their places of work, CPE also offers select programs that allow adult learners to earn NJIT credentials on a part-time basis in pursuit either of complete NJIT degrees (graduate and undergraduate), stand-alone academic certificates (graduate, undergraduate, and non-credit) or individual credit and non-credit training courses. Part-time adult students associated with CPE study either at their place of work, at NJIT, and/or through online or blended means.
Each year CPE educates 9,000 students in degree programs and 7,000 professionals study through online learning and non-credit courses. Since 1990, NJIT has trained over 60,597 professionals associated with more than 564 companies' courses. As a result of this commitment and dedication to adult learners and corporations, 25% of engineers working in New Jersey are graduates of NJIT. Additional points of pride are:
- # 6 in Engineering/Computing Distance Learning (US News and World Report)
- A Top 25 Most Connected Campus (The Princeton Review)
- One of the nation's 25 "most connected" campuses (Forbes.com)
- Top National University (US News and World Report)
- An American Best Value College (The Princeton Review)

St. Louis, Mo. — Research shows one of the biggest obstacles to trying a new activity is lack of knowledge. The Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) new Discover Nature—Fishing program aims to help families and youths overcome that obstacle by empowering them with all the knowledge they need to discover a lifelong activity.
Discover Nature—Fishing rolls out in the St. Louis area during the month of May. "This program is designed to get people outdoors and trying something new—fishing," said Malcolm Royse, Discover Nature—Fishing Coordinator for MDC's St. Louis Region.
The program is based on studies that show a single exposure to an activity is rarely enough to make a lasting impression. It requires multiple contacts with that activity to get someone to stick with it. Discover Nature—Fishing consists of four progressive lessons that move newcomers through all the basics of the sport, and onto a path of fishing independence.
"Instead of being a one-time, get in/get out experience, this program is set up with four different opportunities for a family to get out and catch fish, learn different aspects of fishing, and ultimately acquire a lifestyle," Royse explained.
The main focus of Discover Nature—Fishing is kids 7-15 years of age, but it also emphasizes family involvement and encourages parents and guardians with youths 16 and over to participate as well. All youths must be accompanied by an adult. Adults new to fishing have the opportunity to learn the basics right alongside their children.
The classes are free and all fishing gear needed is provided. Each class runs two hours. After a class-room type lesson taught by trained Discover Nature-Fishing volunteers, participants then spend an hour or more fishing, putting what they've learned into practice.
The four classes include:
Discover Nature Fishing programs are currently being held at three locations; Forest Park, August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area in St. Charles, and Suson Park in South County.
To find a list of program dates and times please visit the Discover Nature-Fishing website at mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/discover-nature-programs/discover-nature-fishing. Those interested in registering for a Discover Nature-Fishing program should call 636-441-4554. To find out more information about Discover Nature-Fishing or to become a Discover Nature-Fishing volunteer, contact Malcolm Royse at email@example.com, or call 636.300.1953 ext. 4140.


text: The new "F as in Fat" report shows sobering data for Michigan. by Jason H. on Friday, October 12, 2012 According to the new report: F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2012, the adult obesity rate in Michigan could hit 59.4 percent by the year 2030. Click here to read the report on Michigan. Obesity is mainly caused by taking in more calories than are used up in physical activity and daily life. When people eat too many calories, or too much saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol, their blood cholesterol levels often rise. Being obese puts you at a higher risk for health problems such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes and more. Want to start getting healthy?

A lesson to be cautious about what you buy from sites like Kijiji.
A woman from the Laurentians, north of Montreal, is out several thousand dollars, after she tried to buy a car from the popular classified listing website.
The seller convinced the woman to deposit $4,200 to a Western Union account, before she even saw the car.
The representative at a Wal Mart, reportedly told the woman no one could withdraw the funds without a password she chose, according to QMI.
That money, however, quickly disappeared from the account.

Some Questions and Answers
Prior to a recent speech to a small group of individual investors, my host asked them to submit some questions to me in advance. Here are the questions submitted with some brief answers.
Is it possible for the sitting president who is up for reelection to manipulate economic figures in order to create a falsely favorable (to him) improvement, or must he rely on promoting a complementary interpretation with stated numbers for a better public image?
He and his surrogates will put the most favorable spin on the numbers, but I doubt overt manipulation. The Civil Servants who create the numbers are very smart people dedicated to producing the most accurate numbers possible and would make a major stink if someone tried to bias that process. The risks and consequences of doing so would not be worth it.
How does the Fed lower its balance sheet?
The Fed shrinks its balance sheet when it sells assets, allows them to mature without replacing them, has loans repaid.
The total assets on the Fed's balance sheet grew from roughly $800 billion just prior to the financial crisis to just under $3 trillion. The growth was larger than it might have been because the traumatized banking system held onto the reserves created by the Fed rather than making maximum use of them in making loans and investments which create deposit money. The economy and financial system has adjusted to the Fed's current balance sheet. It won't be advisable to shrink it until more vigorous lending by the banking system threatens to be inflationary. At that point the expansion of the "money multiplier" will need to be partially offset by the Fed draining reserves, i.e. shrinking its balance sheet.
How much control does the Fed have on interest rates.
It has pretty close control over the Federal funds rate and other very short-term rates. It's influence (rather than control) over longer term rates depends on market sentiment, which, in turn, is based on economic conditions. Lately, economic circumstances and the credibility of the Fed have given it pretty much influence over longer term rates. That is the point of Mr. Bernanke promising low rates for an extended period of time. If that is believed, longer term rates stay low, as in a 2 percent rate on a 10 year bond. If growth and/or inflation pick up substantially, that rate will rise (and longer rates will rise more) whether the Fed likes it are not.
Recently, Bernanke made some very dovish comments which seems to favor the current political party . . . is the Fed chief politically inclined.
The Fed chief always wants the best economy possible and sustainable; so one might say that it favors incumbents. But, remember that while Mr. Bernanke was reappointed by the Democratic President, he was originally appointed as a governor and later as Chairman (and to the Council of Economic Advisors in between) by a Republican president. He wants the best legacy possible for himself regardless of which party might share the credit.
What was the most interesting/unusual experience you had as a FOMC/Bank President?
On a recurring basis, the most interesting aspect of the job was the FOMC meetings about every six weeks and the preparations with my economists leading up to those meetings. Budgets, other meetings, personnel issues, operation issues were all less fun. I enjoyed particularly some of the creativity we brought to our annual reports. For example, one year I included a picture of myself visiting three graves: Buddy Holly, Adam Smith, and Sam Houston. There wasn't room for Evita.
How will the EU troubles, specifically Spain's, potentially manifest themselves in our economy? What is the best fix? What correlations are there between our own fiscal policy/economic conditions and those of Spain, Greece, and Portugal?
Countries are tied together through both trade (imports and exports) and financial transactions such as bank loans security holdings and the like. As southern Europe drags all Europe into recession, European demand for U.S. exports will decline, thus affecting our exporters. Some U.S. banks may own European sovereign debt, or private debt, and U.S. mutual funds may as well. This train wreck has been so slow moving that I assume that banks and mutual funds and money market funds have lessened their exposure substantially. I don't expect the direct impacts on us to be substantial. The worrisome thing, however, is the absence of a reasonable way out of the European mess and the jeopardy it puts the Euro in. So far the "remedy" imposed by Germany as a condition to helping financially has been austerity. Austerity measures are shrinking the indebted economies, which hardly helps them with their debt. They need specific measures to curb government borrowing combined with measures to produce economic growth, presumably structural measures like labor market reform, etc. There is no easy way out. Asset sales, or privatization, would generate government revenue without shrinking the economy, but I don't know what is available to privatize. If they were a family, selling the family jewels would be in order.
Do we ever worry about inflation again?
Yes, but right now, based on recent and current policies, inflation is not a "clear and present danger."
What will the Fed look for to actually tighten monetary flows/economic policy.
Right now the Fed's dual mandate is skewed. Inflation is slightly above the official target, but isn't likely to accelerate soon, while unemployment is far above the implicit target, whatever that is. The Fed will start easing off the accelerator when those to goals are more evenly achieved. Faster GDP growth and faster employment growth will set the stage for an eventual change in policy.
What key indicators have traditionally signaled a healthy, robust economy that is vital and independent of monetary injections or government subsidy?
I would vote for entrepreneurialism, which the government can't do much to promote except stay out of the way. A related statistic would be rapid productivity growth, or more output per unit of input, or output per hour worked. Rising productivity is what gives us a higher standard of living, but in the very short run it competes with employment growth.
What do you think of Texas A&M's move to the SEC?
Beats me. I asked the President of A&M by phone the other day (a good man, by the way) and he said it was a long story.

Home and Away star Georgie Parker chooses family over fame
- From: Herald Sun
- May 07, 2014
AWARD-winning actor Georgie Parker says she ignored a Hollywood calling and chose family over fame.
Parker, a two-time Gold Logie winner and Home And Away star, told Confidential: "I'm really glad I've done it all here, and haven't had to go overseas. I never wanted to go to LA.
"I'm an Australian. My family and friends are here. That's my life.
She added: "I love my work, but I love my life."
Parker, 49, shot to prominence in drama favourites including All Saints and A Country Practice. She won Logie Awards for both shows, and took Gold Logie glory in 2000 and 2001.
Asked if she was ever tempted to try Tinseltown, Parker replied: "There was one Hollywood calling. I was asked, but I said no thank you.
"I've been very lucky. My career isn't that of a typical actor. I've been doing it for 30 years and haven't had to wait on tables in between jobs. I don't take that lightly.
"I want to keep doing this until I'm 80," Parker said, laughing. "That's my goal."
She also rejected the continual and insulting debate about a so-called use-by date for women on television.
"I think it's absolute bull---t, and I've never bought into it," she said. "I'm a feminist, but I'm an egalitarian. We're all here telling our own stories. We all get older.
"I love it and I'm proud of the fact I'm turning 50 this year
"Women should be proud of where they are in life no matter how old they are."

Who's that bird? Willow
A previous version of this story incorrectly spelled the first name of Makenna Barickman, the sixth-grader who suggested the winning name of name Willow for Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center's Eastern screech owl. Barickman's suggestion was submitted by the sixth-grade students from Maplewood Elementary School.
And the winner is ... Willow.
That's now the name of an Eastern screech owl that was rescued from Erie's Gridley Park and has become the newest education bird at Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center near Saegertown.
A contest was held to name the bird, which couldn't be returned to the wild because of a wing injury.
Tamarack received nearly 100 name suggestions for the owl, and the center's board narrowed the list to five finalists for the public to choose from.
The winner was announced Sunday during an open house at the center.
Officials said Willow received 440 votes, followed by Athena with 376, Luna with 363, Sylvia with 87 and Lilith with 56.
The winning name was offered by Makenna Barickman, whose sixth-grade class at Maplewood Elementary School submitted the name, officials said. They previously said "Willow" was a reference to the owl's camouflaged feathers, similar to the colors of willow tree bark, and her ear tufts resembling fallen leaves. The injured mother owl was discovered after a tree with her nest was cut down in 2010 in Gridley Park. Her three owlets weren't hurt and were eventually released at Presque Isle State Park.
She was cared for at Tamarack and has become a special ambassador for the center. As an education bird, Willow will visit schools, clubs, camps, churches and organizations for a fee to teach about her species, officials said.

Lin, a sophomore, has gone 15-0 with the Greater Middlesex Conference first-singles title, for Highland Park and has dropped only one set this season – to Dylan Karchere-Sun of South Brunswick. Lin later defeated Karchere-Sun in the GMCT final, 6-4, 6-1, for the title.

Assorted ramblings from the world of entertainment:
The Fabulous Food Show got a little bad buzz earlier this month when Cleveland Chef Michael Symon posted on Facebook that he wouldn't be at this year's event at the I-X Center (it appeared the promoters gave the hometown hero a low-ball offer or no offer to return).
Martha Stewart previously had been announced for the food event, but the rest of the lineup was released this week, and it's an impressive guest list.
The "top" chef is likely to be "Top Chef" judge Tom Colicchio, who will do cooking demos and sign autographs on Saturday, Nov. 9, the same day Stewart will be there.
Opening day on Nov. 8 will feature Alex Guarnaschelli, the newest "Iron Chef" and a regular judge on "Chopped"; Hugh Acheson, who has been both a judge on "Top Chef" and a competitor on "Top Chef Masters"; and Marcus Samuelsson, winner of "Top Chef Masters" and the author of "Yes, Chef," which won both the IACP award for Best Literary Food Writing and the James Beard Foundation Award for Writing and Literature. Samuelsson also will be there on Nov. 9.
The Nov. 10 lineup is light by comparison. Jason Roberts, who has served as emcee at the food show's main kitchen theater for several years and appears on ABC's "The Chew," will get his own cooking demos this year. Also scheduled is Sunny Anderson, host of such Food Network shows as "Cooking for Real" and "How'd That Get on My Plate."
Tickets start at $26 for the food show, which will be combined with an International Beer Fest this year. Additional information is available at www.fabulousfoodshow.com.
If anyone is planning on taking my advice and going to see Dawes today at Kent State University, the original press release listed the start time at 8 p.m., which is what I quoted last week.
WKSU-FM, co-presenter of the Kent State 'Round Town Music Festival, says the music starts at 6 p.m., and lists two opening acts, Good Old War and Liz Frame & the Kickers, so it might be best to get there early. The show is free and outdoors on the KSU Green near the Student Center. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate.
Those who don't want to drive to Kent can catch some good music a little closer to home that also is free, assuming you are a Youngstown State University student or a member of The Summit (90.7 FM) public radio station.
David Wax Museum will perform at 8 p.m. today at Kilcawley Center's Chestnut Room. Go to the band's website (www.davidwaxmuseum.com) to check out the video for "Harder Before It Gets Easier," which has a Peter Gabriel "Sledgehammer" vibe, or go to The Summit's website (www.913thesummit.fm) to find a link to the band's live session at the station's Audio Technica Studio C.
The band has earned raves from appearances at the Newport Folk Festival and South By Southwest, and Boston Magazine recently named the group Best Live Act of 2013.
I'm sure The Summit gladly will accept any new members who want to get into tonight's concert.
I caught the David Mayfield Parade show Saturday at Musica in Akron, which turned into a family affair.
Mayfield's parents, David and Valerie Mayfield, were working the merch table, and they joined their son on stage for the traditional bluegrass song "Mama Don't Allow" with Valerie on mandolin and David Sr. taking a turn on his son's guitar. It segued into a less traditional bluegrass song - a fiddle / mandolin / acoustic guitar arrangement of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long."
The younger Mayfield displayed some guitar wizardry that would wow an AC/DC fan, not to mention a twisted sense of humor that at times made the show feel like Zach Galifianakis leading a hootenanny.
I'll say it again - the Newton Falls native who lives in Warren when he's not on the road needs to play a show closer to home.

After a few drier days, this weekend will mark a return to warm, muggy mornings.
"It'll be back to what we'd expect for a June morning," Bay News 9 Meteorologist Juli Marquez said.
Temperatures were at their coolest on Wednesday and Thursday, thanks to cloud cover that pushed the thermometer down to 86 or 87 degrees, Marquez said.
But they'll swing back up Friday, topping out at 90 degrees. Saturday and Sunday should reach 89 and 88 degrees, respectively. Marquez said that's pretty typical for June.
"It's not like we're going to be too hot or too cool for this time of year," Marquez said.
What's even more typical is that hit of steamy air you'll notice when you step out your door this weekend. The last few days were dry, but as moisture returns the weekend will feel noticeably muggy.
Thanks to a sea breeze, we'll likely see some afternoon showers and thunderstorms as well. Heavy rain is possible in inland areas, Marquez said.
Friday's rain chance is the weekend's lowest at 20 percent. Saturday will carry a 30 percent chance of rain, and Sunday's rain chance is 40 percent.

BRADENTON, Fla. - The Pirates made their first round of spring training cuts on Monday and Jameson Taillon, the organization's top pitching prospect, was among them.
Taillon, who is expected to start the season at Class AAA Indianapolis, split the 2013 season between Altoona and Indy. Taillon was 4-7 with a 3.67 ERA in 20 games (19 starts) for the Class AA Curve, striking out 106 and walking 36 in 1101/3 innings. He went 1-3 with a 3.89 ERA in six starts at Indy.
"It's disappointing," Taillon said of returning to minor league camp, "but there just aren't enough innings to go around for everyone."-
Taillon appeared in only two Grapefruit League games this spring, had no record and a 3.38 ERA in just 22/3 innings.
Carlos Paulino, who caught for the Curve last season, also was sent to minor league camp, along with ex-Curve infielder Matt Hague.
Paulino batted .220 in 99 games with the Curve and also appeared in three games with Indianapolis a year ago.
Right-handed pitcher Casey Sadler, an Eastern League all-star a year ago when he went 11-7 with a 3.31 ERA in 23 starts (130 innings) with the Curve, was optioned to Indianapolis.
Shortstop Alen Hanson and left-handed pitcher Joely Rodriguez were optioned to Altoona. The switch-hitting Hanson, considered the Pirates shortstop of the future, batted .255 in 35 games with the Curve in 2013.
He batted .281 in 92 games at Bradenton (Class A) before being promoted to the Curve.
Rodriguez split the 2013 season between West Virginia and Bradenton, combining for a 9-8 record in 24 starts.
Tim Williams of PiratesProspects.com reported earlier that Stetson Allie probably will start the season with the Curve.
A former high draft pick by the Bucs, Allie has switched from pitcher to third base and has shown some good power numbers early in his career.
Camp notes
One-time Curve catcher Milver Reyes received the 2014 Chuck Tanner Award prior to Monday's game with the Orioles.
The award is given to a member of the Pirates minor league staff who best exemplifies Tanner's optimism, work ethic and leadership.
Reyes has been in the Pittsburgh organization 15 years and is in his second as manager of the Gulf Coast League Pirates, the Bucs' rookie team.
Reyes had a 10-year playing career in the minors, advancing as high as Indianapolis. He played for the Curve parts of four seasons - 2006-2009 - as a backup catcher.

Yesterday the Brewers unveiled the new Wall of Honor display on the north side of Miller Park outside left field. The brainchild of former Brewer player and current Brewer official Craig Counsell, the Wall is meant to commemorate players (plus Uecker and Selig) who left their mark on the franchise. Individuals earn a spot on the Wall by meeting the following criteria:
- 2,000 or more plate appearances
- 1,000 or more innings pitched
- 250 appearances as a pitcher
- Winner of a major award (MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, or Fireman of the Year)
- Manager of a pennant-winning team
- Individuals recognized with a statue on the Miller Park Plaza
- Members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame who have played for the Brewers
Those standards seem mostly fair, although I'm not sure those who already have their own statues need even more recognition. Based on those criteria, the Wall already contains 58 members – much more inclusive than the highly exclusionary Walk of Fame,s creation.)
All 58 Wall members are commemorated with tasteful plaques that briefly describe their accomplishments. When I first read the list of inductees,re doing something right, or at least have a positive WAR. The plaques do a nice job of putting relatively modest accomplishments in context and make the case these guys are on the Wall for a reason.
In no particular order, here are a few honorees that interest me.
As you are no doubt aware, Hank Aaron played the final two not particularly productive seasons of his career for Milwaukee's upstart franchise – or as his plaque says, "retired as a Brewer." I wonder if the Kansas City Chiefs have a plaque of Joe Montana anywhere. I mean, it's great that Aaron lent a little bit of his legend to the Brewers even though he will always be remembered as a Brave. It just seems a little generous to honor someone who had such a fleeting association with the organization. I guess you have to make accommodations for someone of Aaron's stature.
Sixto Lezcano was before my time, so I don't have an emotional connection to him as player, but I couldn't help but notice he got a pretty big ovation during the pre-game ceremony. I do wish I knew more people named Sixto. His plaque says Lezcano was the first player to hit grand slams on two different opening days, in 1978 and 1980. That's the kind of sports stat that's both completely trivial and kind of neat.
I had no idea who Johnny Briggs was until reading his plaque, which says he had a career high of 73 RBI in 1974 and ranked fifth in extra base hits that season. It seems like they were stretching a bit with Briggs, but we can all agree he really pulled off the bushy sideburn look better than anyone else in the last 40 years.
Bill Hall – yep, he sure was a Brewer for a period of time. The plaque devotes a chunk of space to his 2006 Mother's Day homerun, which is certainly worth remembering. Other than that, Hall had some really good seasons in the middle of his career, so this seems like honoring a guy just for hanging around. Fair enough, but I imagine this plaque will earn more than a few eye rolls by fans wondering what the big deal is.
Brewers fans love Counsell, and with good reason. I just think the last line in his plaque should be, "This Wall was his idea."
Overall, the Wall of Honor strikes me as a decent way to recognize players for their service, most of which was remarkable. Even the Jahas and Halls of the world had something to contribute, and there's nothing wrong with giving them some credit. If you visit it, it will count as the something new you learn every day. Two word review: pretty cool.

Chilean journalist reflects on Falklands' sovereignty dispute
The benefit of encouraging opinion makers to visit the Falklands was demonstrated when an article translated as "Petrol sets the Falklands on fire" appeared on the website lanacion.cl, written by recent visitor and Chilean writer and journalist, Raúl Sohr.
More than 2,000 words in length, and with headings such as Petroleum, The Military Situation and The Diplomatic Front, the article gives a very reasonable and balanced account of a number of aspects of our existence, beginning with the Argentine Government's attempts to interfere with shipping to and from the Islands and the loss of up to 11 million US dollars annually suffered by businesses in Punta Arenas.
Reflecting that there appears to be no obvious solution to the sovereignty debate, Raúl says the discovery of oil will add to the intransigence of both sides, with countries in the region like Chile being forced to take sides, at least in some aspects.
He says: "It is the nature of such conflicts that they rarely benefit anyone, but can harm many."
The comments from his Chilean readers which follow also are of interest, with one writer claiming 89% of Chileans supported the British in 1982, because they knew that if successful in the Falklands, General Galtieri's next step would have been to invade Chile.
One Chilean who says he is convinced it is both right and much better for us to be British, goes back in time to mention that the Argentine Government took advantage of Chile being engaged in defending its borders to the north to take Patagonia from Chile, and adds that to those who believe Argentina has always owned all the territory it currently claims, it should be pointed out that Mendoza was founded by the Chileans, who also formed a large portion of San Martin's army of liberation.
The tendency in South America for historical disputes over territory to live on well past their sell-by date is also demonstrated by one obviously Argentinean writer who urges: "It should not be forgotten that the British tried to take the whole of Argentina by force in 1806 and 1807," and goes on to claim that it was because of this failure that "the dirty British" took the Falklands in 1833.

Doctors performed several facial surgeries on 5-year-old Lena Dickerson after a dog named Hemmingway mauled her face when she was only two at a Disneyland petting zoo, her attorney said.
She faces at least five more procedures in the next 10 years to minimize the scarring to her face, said Valencia-based attorney Michael Bishay.
Bishay and Jerome Konell, of Konell Ruggiero and Konell in Los Angeles, filed the suit Tuesday in Orange Country Superior Court against Disneyland on behalf of Lena Dickerson and several family members. Bishay and Konell are requesting damages for past and future medical expenses, physical and psychological suffering, and punitive damages against the Walt Disney World Company.
The cost of the damages could "certainly be in the millions," if the family wins the suit, Bishay said.
After years of living in Valencia, the Dickersons moved to live with family in Illinois for emotional support.
"All have experienced great psychological trauma from not only the attack but also watching Lena's face get mauled by Hemmingway," the lawsuit states.
In October 2006, Lena's face was attacked by German Shepherd-Labrador Retriever mix, a dog that was noted by the Orange County Animal Shelter as being unsocial, according to the lawsuit.
Walt Disney World Company is in part charged with failing to conduct a background check on Hemmingway. The dog came into the shelter as an unliscenced stray and with aggressive behavior, Bishay said. Five days after Hemmingway was put up for adoption by the shelter, Disney employeees adopted the dog.
Hemmgingway bit Lena's face a couple of times, attacking the area around her eye, before her father jumped on the dog to pry him off, the suit claims. She was rushed to the University of California-Irvine Medial Center's emergency room where her wounds were taped and glued. After her wounds became infected, further surgeries were necessary, according the lawsuit.
Calls to Disney from The Signal were not returned Wednesday.

Learn about bird migration during Purple Martin Palooza
Grab a pair of binoculars and head out on a grand tour of the nesting purple martins around Presque Isle during Purple Martin Palooza, starting this weekend.
Bird watchers who register for the free event join an environmental educator and a field biologist from the Purple Martin Conservation Assocation on a three-hour pontoon boat tour to learn about and see the birds. Participants are asked to dress accordingly for the weather.
Purple martins, a bug-eating breed of swallow that roosts by the thousands at Presque Isle each year, nest in North America before migrating to Brazil during their non-breeding season.
Purple Martin Palooza is Friday and Saturday, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., starting at the Pontoon Boat Station, Presque Isle State Park. The event continues Aug. 19 and 21. The event is free, but participants must register by calling 833-7424. For more details, visit www.purplemartin.org.

Season ends in bright sunshine!
Under blue skies and in warm sunshine, the final weekend of a deplorably wet Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier season brought just one change in league positions as Lindum moved up into fifth place above Woodhall Spa.
Haxey, already crowned champions, lost to Bracebridge Heath who sealed the runners-up slot with a 67 run win. And at the bottom of the table, Market Deeping gained the points they needed at Skegness to stay above Boston and avoid finishing at the bottom of the table.
Bracebridge were restricted to 185 for nine at Haxey but six wickets from Jason Trembath saw the home side bowled out for 118, of which Paul Bell hit 62.
In a higher scoring match at Richmond Drive, Skegness reached 242 for nine, Adrian Gordon making 53. Gordon then took four wickets but Market Deeping hung on to finish 191 for nine.
Boston may be propping up the league but the Mayflower team went out on a high note with a winning draw at Grimsby who bowled their opponents out for 241 but fell 47 runs short of their target for the loss of eight wickets. Despite Boston's lowly position, opening bat Jonathan Cheer ended the season just two runs short of 800.
Conrad Louth hit the day's only century as Bourne beat Sleaford who nevertheless hung on to fourth place, finishing six above Lindum. Jack Berry put in a man of the match performance for Bourne with 55 runs and bowling figures of 5-28.
Lindum completed a steady climb up the table with victory over Louth who were out for 103 chasing the Lincoln side's total of 227 for eight. And Hartsholme notched up the same score for the loss on nine wickets as they sent Woodhall down to sixth place with a winning draw at Ashby Avenue, Kit Spence the unluckiest batsman of the day when he was out on 99.

"We're excited to be the first to offer customers this service that combines the power of Oracle's enterprise planning in the Cloud solution with all the services customers need included for one low monthly fee," said Paul Johnston, General Manager of Qubix. "Yes, there are other cloud offerings, but these typically don't include the implementation services, the training, ongoing support and consulting customers need, so we've re-imagined how service should be delivered in the Cloud world and simplified everything." he went on to add that the new Qubix service includes:
• A subscription to the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Services
• A choice of Express, Professional or Enterprise implementation packages
• Training to maximize user engagement and productivity
• On-going Support and managed services
Qubix packaged subscriptions start at £12 per user per day for an entry-level budgeting, planning and forecasting solution, increasing to £29 per user per day for an enterprise-grade solution.
Using this cloud based service; companies can reduce costs and complexity while accelerating the speed of delivery without compromising any features or capabilities.
Neil Sellers, Director of Qubix, added, "We want to make planning, budgeting and forecasting simple and affordable for all businesses, no matter what their size or complexity."
By tapping into the benefits of the Cloud, businesses no longer need to purchase and set up hardware and software, which greatly accelerates the deployment time and significantly reduces costs. Qubix estimates that the total cost of ownership savings for a typical customer will be between 30% - 40% over a three year period.
The new service means businesses can take advantage of all the benefits of Cloud SaaS, providing an enterprise-wide, multidimensional planning, reporting and analysis solution, without compromise. This has been proven, in some instances, to reduce planning and budgeting cycle times by up to 90%, thus promoting faster & better business decisions.

The Magnetospheric IMaging Instrument (MIMI) comprises three sensors: the Ion and Neutral Camera (INCA) provides images using energetic neutral atoms (ENA) and ions; the Charge-Energy-Mass-Spectrometer (CHEMS) determines the mass and charge state of ions; and the Low Energy Magnetospheric Measurement System (LEMMS) measures ion and electron distributions using a dual field-of-view telescope (Krimigis et al, Space Sci Rev,114, 2333-329, 2004). Measurements by MIMI after Saturn orbit insertion on 1 July 2004 have elucidated several new features of the planet's magnetosphere. These include: (1) A dynamical magnetosphere with an11-hour periodicity. (2) The first remotely-sensed radiation belt inside Saturn's D-ring. (3) Abundant water products in the magnetospheric plasma > or = 10 kev/charge, but little nitrogen (N+/O+<0.05); neutral gas is found to be a major mechanism for particle loss. (4) Injections of plasma in the ~4-11Rs and also >20Rs corotate with the planet and can last for several days. (5) Activity (possibly analogous to Earth's substorms) occurs in Saturn's magnetotail in the 20-40 Rs region during large magnetospheric disturbances; this has not been observed during quiet times. (6) Field-aligned electron beams occur in the dawn to early morning sector as close as ~10 Rs, and map to latitudes of observed Saturn aurora. (7) A gas cloud around Titan with dimensions > 1 Rs, with strong high (~3200 km) altitude ENA emissions forms a continuous, asymmetric ``halo." (8) Titan's emission is centered on moon--hot plasma interaction with the exosphere; changing intensity depends on variable (x10-100) ion population and magnetic field orientation about Titan. (9) Upstream ion events have been measured to large (<50 to > 800 Rs) distances; several are enriched in oxygen ions, suggesting a magnetospheric origin. The observations will be presented and discussed in the context of current models of Saturn's magnetosphere.

A woman was killed and two others were injured in a crash that closed a busy stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike for several hours Wednesday.
The crash happened around 4 p.m. when a car struck the concrete median in the westbound lanes of the turnpike in Wallace Township, Chester County, between the Downingtown and Morgantown interchanges, state police said.
The car overturned several times, causing the two passengers to be ejected from the car.
One of them, Wanda Ledesma-Rivera, 42, of Columbia, Lancaster County, died at the scene. The other ejected passenger, Kristina Fisher, 25, of Reinholds, and the driver, Raquel Davila, 46, of Columbia, were transported to Reading Hospital for treatment of moderate injuries, police said.
The westbound lanes between the Downingtown and Morgantown interchanges were closed for approximately six hours.

At first, Nick Saban's decision to send the Crimson Tide back indoors for practice today seemed like another break from the heat wave. But about 45 minutes later, a storm hit Tuscaloosa. So that could have been the reason.
Anyway, Alabama was in full pads today. It was the final workout before the start of fall classes tomorrow, meaning the final two-a-days session was yesterday. As for the intensity after yesterday's team meeting called by veteran players? Saban will be available after practice to answer that himself.
What you need to know: After missing last night's practice while ill, big right tackle D.J. Fluker was back today, an indication that the bug wasn't too serious. This team dealt with the flu enough last season to learn a lesson, so it's doubtful he'd be back otherwise.
Meanwhile, running back Blake Sims (foot sprain) and cornerbacks Demarcus Milliner (ankle) and DeQuan Menzie (hamstring) remained out practice today. While Sims isn't a must-have at practice, the continued absence of Milliner and Menzie is a concern for a secondary that figures to need their services immediately.
Keep an eye on: The beauty of an indoors practice is the media gets a front-row seat for two positions usually on the far end of the outdoor fields: Quarterback and wide receiver. In such a setting, I'm constantly impressed by the talents of Julio Jones, who makes sideline catches and often tip-toes down the sideline as if he's barely trying. But it's worth mentioning that freshman DeAndrew White continues to stand out in his first preseason camp. He's got track-star speed and was credited with a big play in Saturday's scrimmage.
Noteworthy: Freshman Corey Grant remained with the cornerbacks today. He started camp at running back. ... And the long-rumored move of wide receiver Mike Bowman to tight end finally happened this week. He was still at tight end today. ... The secondary appears far from settled, as multiple players are shifting to multiple spots, seemingly from snap-to-snap. I'll continue to stress that walk-on Will Lowery appears to be in the mix, but so do freshmen Jarrick Williams and Nick Perry. There is an opportunity at safety right now that is rare given the depth Alabama is building across the board. ... Another walk-on, Rob Ezell, is spending his time holding kicks in practice. It's unclear if he'll take that role or not, since backup quarterback AJ McCarron held in the spring.

Ah, nonconference games, where teams that won just half their games last season can be labeled as three-touchdown favorites.
It's time for another season of Big Ten picks, only because I didn't actually wager any money on last year's predictions. Batting .410 would be good for Detroit Tigers star Miguel Cabrera, but that's all I was against the spread (34-49) with last year's picks, and was 66-25 (.725) straight up.
Better luck this year ...
Indiana (-24) vs. Indiana State, 7 p.m. (BTN)
The Hoosiers were 4-8 last season, but have an offense that can keep up with much of the Big Ten. There's talk of Indiana playing as many as three quarterbacks. Do any of them play defense? Indiana 38, Indiana State 20
Minnesota (-14) vs. UNLV, 7 p.m. (BTN)
The Gophers needed triple overtime to win last season's opener against the Rebels, also on a Thursday night. Minnesota has sophomore quarterback Patrick Nelson back and could build on last season's 6-7 record. Minnesota 31, UNLV 13
Michigan State (-27.5) vs. Western Michigan, 8 p.m. (BTN)
Even though Andrew Maxwell was named the starting quarterback, he likely won't be the only one that plays. The Broncos, under first-year coach P.J. Fleck, should be a perfect team to work out the offensive kinks on. Michigan State 34, Western Michigan 10
Michigan (-31.5) vs. Central Michigan, 3:30 p.m. (BTN)
The Wolverines have just one game to fine tune their pro-style offense before Notre Dame comes to town. Devin Gardner, Fitz Toussaint and Jeremy Gallon all should have huge games. Central Michigan is busy breaking in a new QB. Michigan 41, Central Michigan 7
Purdue (+10.5) at Cincinnati, noon (ESPNU)
The Boilermakers lost to almost any team with a pulse last season, but still made a bowl after a 6-6 regular season. The Bearcats are no pushover, 10-3 last season and Tommy Tuberville takes over. Cincinnati 34, Purdue 14
Illinois (-21.5) vs. Southern Illinois, noon (BTN)
The Illini didn't have much fight last season, finishing just 2-10 in 2012 and one of those wins was against Charleston Southern. So this matchup against a FBS opponent could be just what the doctor ordered. Illinois 28, Southern Illinois 10
Ohio State (-35) vs. Buffalo, noon (ESPN2)
Braxton Miller's Heisman campaign begins with a home game against the Bulls, who went 4-8 last season. The Buckeyes were 12-0 in Urban Meyer's first year. Bowl ban is gone and Miller should be even more dynamic. Ohio State 51, Buffalo 13
Wisconsin (-44.5) vs. UMass, noon (BTN)
Gary Andersen's first season in Madison begins with a the gift from past schedule makers. UMass has virtually no chance of slowing down Melvin Gordon and James White. And that's even with Montee Ball gone to the NFL. Wisconsin 49, UMass 7
Penn State (-7.5) vs. Syracuse, 3:30 p.m. (ABC/ESPN2)
Nittany Lions coach Bill O'Brien has to figure out how to replace Matt McGloin, the Big Ten's leading passer in 2012. Having Allen Robinson, the league's top pass catcher, back should help. The Orange have even more question marks. Penn State 24, Syracuse 13
Iowa (-3) vs. Northern Illinois, 3:30 p.m. (BTN)
This is a rematch of last year's season opener, which the Hawkeyes actually won. Iowa still ended its season with six losses in a row, though, after beating Michigan State. Meanwhile, Northern Illinois went on to the BCS. Northern Illinois 24, Iowa 17
Nebraska (-29) vs. Wyoming, 8 p.m. (BTN)
Taylor Martinez's senior campaign (he's been around forever, no?) begins with a cakewalk. Wyoming went 4-8 in the Mountain West last season. Any defensive concerns can be put on hold for a couple weeks. Nebraska 45, Wyoming 13
Northwestern (-6) at Cal, 10:30 p.m. (ESPN2)
The Wildcats won 10 games last year and return 17 starters, including Kain Colter and Venric Mark. Yet, Northwestern is favored by less than a TD against a three-win Bears team that has a first-year coach and a freshman QB. Something's amiss. Northwestern 41, Cal 17

The San Diego Chargers have a chance over the next few weeks to keep alive one of the weirdest Philadelphia sports trends going.
If the Chargers beat the Denver Broncos this weekend, and then go on to win the Super Bowl, they will be the fifth straight team to have beaten the Eagles in the Eagles' home opener, and then go on to win the Super Bowl.
Strange? Yes. True? Absolutely.
The streak began in 2010, when the New Orleans Saints beat the Eagles in Week Two. Obviously, that win propelled them all the way to Super Bowl champions that season.
The Green Bay Packers made it two seasons in a row the next year, as they went from the 5th seed in the playoffs to a victory in the Super Bowl -- beating the Eagles in the Wild Card round along the way.
The next two teams to do it? The New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens, both of whom beat the Eagles in the home opener, then went on to win the big one as heavy underdogs.
The eeriest part is that none of the teams were expected to win it all the season they beat the Eagles. The Chargers keeping the streak alive, however, might be the biggest surprise of them all.
The Chargers were not supposed to compete for a playoff spot, needed a number of things to happen in Week 17 just to get into the postseason, and were underdogs against the Cincinnati Bengals last weekend.
So if San Diego walks away with the Lombardi trophy this season, don't be surprised if teams are fighting next year to make a Week One trip to Lincoln Financial Field.

Rorty and the Philosophical Tradition: A Comment on Professor Szubka
Brian Leiter
University of Chicago
February 8, 2010
U of Chicago, Public Law Working Paper No. 298
I agree with Tadusz Szubka's thesis that there is a "partial" continuity between Rorty's work in the 1960s (esp. The Linguistic Turn) and his later pragmatic philosophy in which he repudiated "analytic" philosophy. I suggest additional support for the thesis of continuity comes from an examination of Rorty's undergraduate and graduate education. I then argue that the real puzzle about Rorty's intellectual development is not why he gave up on "analytic" philosophy - he had never been much committed to that research agenda, even before it became moribund--but why, beginning with Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature (PMN), he gave up on the central concerns of philosophy going back to antiquity. Many contemporary philosophers influenced by Quine's attack on the analytic-synthetic distinction and Sellars' attack on "the Myth of the Given" (the two argumentative linchpins of PMN) didn't abandon philosophical questions about truth, knowledge, and mind, they just concluded those questions needed to be naturalized, to be answered in conjunction with the empirical sciences. Why didn't Rorty go this route? The paper concludes with some interesting anecdotes about Rorty that invite speculative explanations.

WOODINVILLE--A car driven by 32-year-old Michael J. McKee of Woodinville crossed the center line, rolled into a ditch, and struck a large cedar tree near the 22300 block of Paradise Lake Rd. on June 3 at about 9:50 p.m.
McKee and a front-seat passenger, 14-year-old Christine M. Aurelius, both died at the scene from head trauma. Two juvenile males riding in the back seat were airlifted to Seattle's Harborview Hospital, suffering from multiple injuries. The boys were identified as 17-year-old Ryan W. LaFond of Snohomish and 13-year-old Kyle A. Munson.
Police said none of the victims in the accident appeared to be wearing seatbelts.

Following our previous publications concerning the vitamin A and the vitamin C content of mothers' milk, cows' milk and cows' milk mixtures for infant feeding, the present paper concerns a corresponding investigation on canned milk.
From three to six samples were obtained of each variety of imported canned milk obtainable in Batavia in the retail trade and their vitamin A and vitamin C content was determined, according to the method described previously. The milk was diluted in the manner indicated on the label as adapted to infants about 3 months old.
It is not likely that in the preparation of canned milk there is any appreciable loss of vitamin A or of carotene, as heating has a destructive effect on vitamin A substances only when it is possible for oxygen to exercise its influence, which is avoided as far as possible in the process of canning milk.

More good news for oceans as Italy pledges millions of euros for sea protection 16/09/2016 00:00:00
Words Are Not Enough 07/09/2016 00:00:00
Nairobi, 11 February 2013 - Let me first say how delighted I am to see so many young people here at UNEP's headquarters for the Tunza Youth Conference.
Some of you have made marathon journeys to get here and others have made it by bus.
But no matter where you are from, you share a common passion and a common conviction to share ideas and make the change the world so urgently needs.
UNEP attaches great importance to its youth engagement - you are the future leaders, movers and shakers on a planet where the science tells us there is a great deal of fresh and forward-looking leadership needed.
Where we need to move at a far faster pace to resolve the challenges before seven billion people
And where sometimes we need to shake governments, business, cities and others out of complacency, past patterns of development and sometimes paralysis about what can be achieved.
Let's face it, no country is on a path to anywhere like a sustainable future - but let's also acknowledge that there is a lot more going on than many realize.
Just last week the Guardian newspaper reported that over the last three months in Spain wind farms produced more electricity than any other power source for the first time ever-amounting to a quarter of the country's power generation.
Carbon dioxide emissions fell by 13% in the past five years in the United States, because of new energy-saving technologies and a doubling in the take-up of renewable energy.
China is expected to investment over $1 trillion in the green economy including renewable over its latest five-year plan
As a result of government policy, the 50,000 solar water heaters in Barbados saved the country over $63 million in foreign exchange in 2010
In Germany, on 25 May 2012, solar power generated 22 gigawatts of electricity per hour, enough to meet half of national electricity demand
There are many, many more encouraging signs that a transition to a low carbon Green Economy is underway.
Is it enough, no but it is good start towards the Future We Want which is where you come in.
We need renewable energy but the world needs your energy more than ever.
Indeed it is my desire that when you leave the Tunza conference here this week that you take the fire lit in your various meetings and debates and ignite it back home in your communities and countries.
It can be in organizing a youth moment, a lobbying organization or the setting up of a green entrepreneurial business like the many showcased in Tunza Acting for a Better World: GEO-5 for Youth which you are launching today.
Or perhaps through the world of academia in fields such as engineering or natural resource management or economics, you can catalyse positive change or perhaps as sports men and woman, musicians you can combine one love with the love for the environment.
I have, if you don't mind, a few asks around which I would hope you can mobilize.
Climate change - later this week we will have the pleasure of Christiana Figueres coming to the UNEP Governing Council.
Christiana is the head of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and she has a tough job right now trying to get over 190 countries agree to a new climate treaty by 2015.
Can we mobilize Tunza youth behind her endeavors so that a strong and meaningful agreement is swiftly put in place and nations are more accountable for what they have signed up to?
At the very least, use social media and other communication avenues to back her work and support her team as they navigate these deep waters over the next few and very short years.
We have to get a deal that really will keep a global temperature rise under 2 degrees C this century - combating climate is do-able: all the science and research UNEP is producing shows that to be the case.
Secondly Tunza magazine - I know you were asked to bring copies from your countries of your favourite youth publication.
During your brainstorming, please provide concrete and creative suggestions how we can make Tunza magazine more up to date and funky if you will.
And thirdly food waste.
A few weeks ago UNEP and the Food and Agricultural Organization of the UN launched Think-Eat-Save: Reduce Your Foodprint!
It is a new global campaign to reduce the 1.3 billion tonnes of food lost and wasted every year - at least a third of all the food grown simply never gets to peoples' tummies.
It is an ethical, economic and very much an environmental scandal and there are lots of reasons behind it.
Supermarkets that do not think we want to buy funny-shaped potatoes or bananas with a brown fleck on their skin.
Or labels that lead to us throwing perfectly good milk down the drain cause we think it is off - when it takes 1,000 litres of water to grow the crops, to feed the cow to make 1 litre of milk.
Or power outages in East Africa than means more than a fifth of all the fish caught off the coast spoils cause refrigeration systems go down.
We need the Tunza network to get behind this campaign to build awareness of this frankly stupid situation.
Please go to the web site to learn more http://www.thinkeatsave.org/
It will be the central theme of World Environment Day 2013 5 June.
And finally water - the UN Secretary General has requested youth world-wide to initiative a campaign on water - perhaps through the lens of the Think-Eat-Save campaign or another pathway you can support this aim.
All of these issues dovetail with the central theme of this conference - Health and the Environment.
Let me wrap up here by saying that I hope you find the next few days fun and inspirational and that you enjoy the grounds and atmosphere of this very unique UN headquarters.
And also by thanking our partner Bayer who have been supporting Tunza many years.
Next week the world's environment ministers will be here, meeting some eight months after Rio+20 where I know some of you were also in June last year.
Big UN conferences can sometimes prove frustrating when you know what the problem is but there seems to be a lack of energy or cooperation to fix things.
Yet Rio+20 did have a few positive outcomes which if really implemented could change our current unsustainable path.
The enablement of the Green Economy, a determination by a club of governments to start buying eco-friendly goods and services and a decision to work toward a new and more inclusive set of targets for the world - the Sustainable Development Goals.
Last but not least upgrading and strengthening UNEP - your platform for engagement, your headquarters for environmental action and very much your home this week and beyond.
I look forward to your youth statement to be presented to the 1st ever universal session of the UNEP governing council.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your participation at this conference and to our partners represented here for your continued support and work to strengthen young people's awareness and engagement on the environment.
And with these few remarks....I would like to call upon our partner Frans Labuschagne from Bayer to say some words.
