New documents released in the case involving the deaths of two men at a homeowners association meeting in Louisville show people attending the meeting didn't notice anything wrong with the neighbor who is now charged with two counts of murder.
The Courier-Journal said video statements and transcripts from witnesses at the Sept. 6 meeting were released this week.
One of those attending, Sally Leezer, says 55-year-old Mahmoud Yousef Hindi was "smiling and seemed pleasant." She and her husband, retired Louisville police officer Raymond Leezer, both said they noticed a satchel Hindi was carrying. Hindi has told police he was carrying a gun and extra bullets in the bag.
Raymond Leezer and board member Horacio Urieta said after Hindi fired two shots, they pushed him against a wall, forcing him to drop the gun.

Police investigators are looking for a woman who stole $1,500 worth of hair weaves last week from a North Charleston beauty shop.
The theft was reported after 5:30 p.m. on June 25 at Star Beauty, 4959 Centre Point Drive.
A clerk told North Charleston police that he had walked to the back of the Tanger Outlets store when a woman went behind the counter.
Clad in a red, white and blue striped dress, the woman then quickly left the store, the clerk said. She got into a small gray car that contained other women who were in the shop earlier, the clerk told police.
The clerk discovered that a box of Brazilian hair weaves was missing from the shelf where it had been on display.
Investigators were using surveillance video to help develop suspects. No one had been arrested, according to the report.
Business owner Seung Kyu Hong said officers were getting a lot of tips and running down leads in trying to identify the women involved in the theft.
"They stole a bunch of them, a whole box," Hong said. "All the other ladies are looking for their hair."
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 843-740-2812.

Mid August I was talking to Paul O'Hara about making a mission to this full pipe, that hasn't been shredded in years. One weekday we drove west to scope out to see if it was even skate-able / what we would need to make it work. After the starring at the hell hole for a bit we decided we would go the following weekend. We brought 2 100ft ropes, 4 Bags of kitty litter and cell phones incase anyone cut the rope. The crew was: Sean Hernandez, Nick Sargent, Brad Edwards, Paul O'Hara & Myself (Dave Bachinsky). We all took a bag of kitty litter and repelled down. After a hour of cleaning, this is what we got into:

Canadian football coach Kyle Lynch was worried when he finally had time to analyze his team's hard-fought 43-33 loss to state-ranked Panhandle on Oct. 11.
He had wanted to keep Panhandle's high-scoring offense off the field by controlling the ball with his running game. But tailback Auston English, the Wildcats' main rushing threat, lost two first-quarter fumbles after mishandling the ball. Then, Canadian fell behind and was never able to get back to its game plan.
"We lost confidence in our running game," Lynch recalled the other day. "Auston looked uncertain of himself."
Any criticism of English this year requires an immediate qualifying statement. The junior tailback is fortunate to be alive. He fell 104 feet during a summertime mountain-climbing accident in Colorado, landing on a rocky ledge. He had to be airlifted by helicopter for treatment.
Miraculously, he escaped severe injuries, suffering eight major lacerations and hairline fractures on three lower vertebrae. Incredibly, he was cleared to play football this season.
Realistically, though, we shouldn't have expected to see the same Auston English that rushed for 1,702 yards last year. At least not right away. Not when he missed every two-a-day practice as well as the Wildcats' first game.
When English broke for a 78-yard touchdown on his first carry this fall and finished his first game with 166 yards and two touchdowns, it was easy to think he was better than ever.
But as the season progressed, it became obvious he was behind on physical conditioning. Although rushing for 135 yards a game, it became obvious he wasn't making the same sudden cuts that last year had left defenders grabbing air.
It became obvious that English was hurting. He had problems with his hip. Then his quadricep. Then his hamstring. In order to play on Friday nights, he was missing much-needed reps and running in practice.
"The doctors said I had a jammed hip, and that it was probably related to the fall," the 6-foot-4, 210-pound English said. "It was affecting my nerves, and that progressed down to my quad and my hamstring.
"I don't think I came back too early. I waited for the doctor's clearance. The doctor said the hip problem was something that probably wouldn't have come out until I got active again."
English sat out the Oct. 3 Spearman game and, after chiropractic treatment on his ailing hip, felt good for the Panhandle game. But he was out of shape, and the missed practice time led to the ball-handling miscues.
Fortunately for English, the Wildcats had an open date the week after Panhandle. "We've got to use the open date to get Auston back in shape and get him the practice reps he needs," Lynch said on Oct. 11.
Two weeks later - or Friday - West Texas High had the misfortune of being the first team to face a 100-percent-healthy Auston English. He had not played in two of the three previous weeks. He was in shape. The chiropractic treatments had his hip, quad and hamstring feeling fine.
The result was a career-high 347 yards rushing and five touchdowns in three quarters.
"Everything felt real connected," English said of last week's game. "It felt like my body was all going in the same motion. This was the first game I had felt 100 percent."
The old English - or perhaps a new-and-improved version - was on display last week. He made several cuts to avoid defenders, often bouncing an off-tackle run to the outside for big gainers.
"I wasn't sucking wind so bad, and that allowed me to concentrate on other things - like the cuts I need to make," English said.
"Our offensive line has really become a strong point. When I got close to 300 yards last week they said, 'You're going to get those yards.' The next play I went 59 yards for a touchdown. Those guys (linemen), they're always there for me."
The return of English could make Canadian a dangerous opponent for the upcoming playoffs. While English was struggling to regain his form or missing altogether, quarterback Riley Morris and receiver Tony Livingston emerged as a big-time pass-and-catch duo.
Add English's running to Morris' passing, and you've got a combination that can hurt a defense in multiple ways.
"We finally decided to quit saving him and get him ready to go," Lynch said of last week's heavy reliance on English. "We wanted to give him a lot of carries and let him get back in the groove."
English said he won't need any more medical attention after football season. He plans to play basketball, then defend his district championship in the shot put next spring. He still has a metal rod from a broken leg suffered in the final game of the 2002 football season. But as long as it doesn't bother him, it can come out any time.
For all these things, the preacher's son is extremely thankful.
"I want to have more fun now. What else are we playing for?" English said. "When you take a fall like I did, it makes you look at things differently. It makes you realize how fragile life really is. It makes you thankful for a lot of things."
Especially 347-yard games.

The superb paper in this issue (page 278) from Chile by Mimica and co-workers on studies of lung puncture in 543 infants and children will serve as a landmark in promoting an old technique which fell into the discard with the advent of antimicrobial agents. The very low complication rate reported should do much to allay the fears of those who have refrained from employing this helpful procedure. The authors verify once again the increasing likelihood of obtaining a pathogen as one compares cultures from the nasopharynx with those from the trachea and finally from lung puncture. No one can deny that organisms from within an area of pneumonitis are more likely to prove to be causative agents than those present in the nasopharynx.
Several criticisms may be leveled at the present study, namely the limitations of the culture medium for Hemophilus influenzae and Mycoplasma and the inadequacy of the

Marubashi et al have presented their data regarding the effect of allograft size on thrombocytopenia after living donor liver transplant. The authors note that posttransplant thrombocytopenia contributes to bleeding, infection, and "a higher incidence of morbidity" and, for those with recurrent hepatitis C virus infection, it can be a contraindication to interferon therapy. The results of the study are based on the posttransplant portal venous pressure (PVP) measurements from a subset of patients. A separate smaller group underwent splenectomy, but their selection for splenectomy apparently was not based on PVP measurements. The authors found that recipients of smaller grafts tended to have higher PVPs after transplant and a persistence of relative thrombocytopenia. Among those undergoing splenectomy, platelet counts were consistently higher, regardless of the graft volume. The authors conclude that splenectomy at the time of living donor liver transplant is indicated in those recipients with relatively low graft volumes or high measured PVPs.

Yes, well, you see, the fact is there is this cow named Liesel on a farm near Trier, West Germany, and for about $14 a lick, airfare not included, she runs her tongue over the naked scalps of bald men every Wednesday in order to make their hair grow. That much is clear. It is also clear that Liesel the cow got into this humane pursuit because of Erich Schmitt, the West German hairdresser who owns her. "Hairdressers must remain open to new ideas," declares Schmitt, and he obviously means what he says. Without advertising, Herr Schmitt has acquired eight customers eager to submit to Liesel's ministrations five minutes each week, such is their craving to regain the hairs of yesteryear.
It all began with John Coombs of Salisbury, England. Coombs says he discovered the merits of cow licks—"by accident, certainly not by design"—on his Wiltshire dairy farm last November. He was feeding his favorite Jersey, Primrose, when dust from the feed settled on Coombs' bald head. Observing her master bending to fill the troughs, Primrose couldn't resist lapping at his scalp, and eight weeks later—shazam!—Coombs' wife noticed his hair returning. The good farmer was skeptical, but says now, "My hair is going up like the tide coming in."
Coombs decided to tell his story after he saw a television show on which volunteers had failed to grow hair by using bay rum, bear fat and an herbal concoction made from onion leaves. "My friends said, 'Good heavens, write in and say you can cure baldness,' " Coombs recalls. "So I did. It was like lighting a heap of dynamite." Swarms of journalists descended, compared Coombs' pate with photos taken before Primrose got her tongue on it, and verified his reforestation. Headlines promptly flashed across Europe, where hairdresser Schmitt took note and decided to try the Primrose path himself. So far the results have been sparse. Of eight test cases he assigned to Liesel back in February, only one has grown peach fuzz. Undaunted, the others still show up every Wednesday for their tongue lashings.
Although Coombs has applied for a patent, he concedes that being lapped by a cow can be a rough experience. The older the cow the harsher the tongue, says he, adding, "It feels like a file. My hair's as long as grass and the cow can get her tongue around it and pull it." But Coombs, an honest yeoman who still isn't sure what all the fuss is about, might not be the best spokesman for his process. "I've been bald for over a quarter of a century," he says. "I think baldness is dignified."

Im a college student, and after Mark posted about F.lux a while ago on the blog, I checked it out. I enjoyed how removing blue light reduced evening monitor strain on my eyes. Also, I have no proof, but I feel like I get tired sooner and no longer find myself spending late nights browsing on my computer. I longed to duplicate it on my phone as I am often up late doing homework only to be blinded by my phone when I get a text. Also, for a few minutes after i get in bed, I like to text some before finally falling asleep, but can't stand the blinding blue light from my phone. I've found the solution using an android app called Cf.lumen.
However, like I said this is for android phones. If you are an iPhone user I believe you can get f.lux for your mobile device. Im not sure how to do it, but I think you could find more information here.
Additionally, this app requires root access. If youre not sure what root is then you dont have it. To find more information about rooting and whether it is a good idea to do this to your device check this out.
This app is is only reported to have been tested on some devices, but its likely that it will work on most all modern devices. Cf.lumen works as an add on to the app Chainfire3D(pro). (All these apps are available in the market). And yeah, its the pro version...That means it will cost you a total of $3.99. I dont really mind paying for it though. These apps can do a lot more than just adjust the RGB and Kelvin of your screen. See the listing in the market of Chainfire 3d pro and Cf.lumen for info on all the goodies they can get you.
Finally, if you mess up your phone, its your fault, not mine.
If youre good with all that above, and youve got root access, go ahead and install Chainfire 3d (first you need to install the free Chainfire 3d, do not try to install the pro version first) from the market. Also, when you run these apps for the first time be sure to allow their superuser requests.
After installing Chainfire 3d, upgrade to the pro version by installing it from the market, and then install Cf.lumen from the market.
At this point if you haven't created any recent backups of your current ROM it might be a good idea to do that. Its different for different devices so just google how to do it if you're not yet sure.
Once everything is installed, If you havent already, open Chainfire 3d and allow its request for superuser. Then, Click CF3D driver and pick install and then install. After the reboot, if your network location settings are not enabled, do that now (From the home screen hit Menu>settings>Location and then check "Use wireless networks). Otherwise, start Cf.lumen, allow its superuser request, and then click Location. After it updates sun up/down times, go ahead and check enable. There are many additional settings in Cf.lumen and Chainfire3D to mess with. Enjoy!

Good news for coast: Nor'easter to weaken
NEW YORK -- Weather experts had good news for beleaguered Northeast Coastal residents Tuesday: A new storm that threatened to complicate Hurricane Sandy cleanup efforts today now looks like it will be weaker than expected.
As the storm moves up the Atlantic from Florida it now is expected to veer farther offshore than earlier projections had indicated. Jeff Masters, of the private weather service Weather Underground, said that means less wind and rainfall on land.
Even so, he said winds could still gust to 50 mph in New York and New Jersey this afternoon and evening.
And Lauren Nash, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service, said wind gusts might blow down tree limbs weakened from Sandy and cause more power outages. Tonight, gusts could occasionally reach 60 mph in coastal Connecticut and Long Island, she said.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie warned Tuesday that high winds could mean some residents who regained power will lose it again, and the wind could also slow efforts to restore power.

Chely Wright and her Wife Welcome Twin SonsDresden Shumaker
This weekend country singer Chely Wright and her wife Lauren Blitzer Wright became moms to identical twin boys.
According to news from their Reps, the Wrights named the boys George Samuel and Everett Joseph after their great-grandfathers.
In 20010 Chely famously became the first openly gay country star. She wrote a memoir, Like Me: Confessions of a Heartland Country Singer, about her experience of coming out and also released the album Lifted Off the Ground. She met her wife, Lauren, while doing advocacy work.
Chely and Lauren announced the news of their pregnancy on Howard Bragman's YouTube series, Gwissues. When she announced her news in January Chely explained that they "are due in July, but with identical twins you typically have to deliver a month early."
The boys arrived just a little early. "We are grateful for all the amazing medical care and the love and support of family and friends," Wright, 42, tells People.

Works Great, Excellemt Price, Easy to install
By Jimmy Buffett Fan
from Bama
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
I have had no issues with mine(2) and I use them during the day and night. They were easy to adjust to the proper height and my body building friend could not push the door open. Look at the measurements of the item to ensure that it will fit from under you door handle to the floor. Naturally, if something doesn't fit correctly, it is not going to work. I live in an apartment complex with no deadbolt and these add security and peace of mind. I use one on the front door and the other on the patio door. My floors are linoleum and somewhat slick. They are tight and there is no slippage. My only concern is after long periods of use that the plastic that fits around the door handle might break. The manufacturers could use another material; however, right now, I am very happy. They are so affordable, I will just buy more if they break. I'm glad I didn't take the advice of the negative posts. I surmise they weren't installed properly. One has to set the item(s) to the correct height. That was not difficult at all. I have recommended to friends who have already made a purchase and are satisfied.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Has a role in hurricane protection
By Cheng
from MS Gulf Coast
My neighborhood is pretty safe and my home security is good (famous last words!)so generally I only use them on two occasions, the first being hotel/motel security on road trips. We live on the MS Gulf Coast. New house (built after Katrina)has three entrances, all double doors with high impact glass. But two of them open inward so have little resistance to hurricane force winds. In addition to other locking devices we put the security bars on those two and exit via the other doors for evacuation. The bars give significant added support that could only be surpassed with much more expensive, involved and time-cosuming options. Will it be enough? We'll see.

The security bars concept is good. The problem with it is it was very difficult to line up the button on the bar with the exact hole on the bar you need for your doors knobHeight. I have a cane with same type of concept I know how the security bar should be adjusted but it is difficult. Once you finally get it adjusted it should work fine.

I was wondering if it's possible to use a combination of GCN controllors and wii remotes when playing multi-player games on the VC. For example if I'm playing Mario Bros. can one person control Mario through a Wii remote while the other controls Luigi through a GCN controller?
Yes you can.
I never add friend codes.

Well, sorry OSU fans, but news is news.
Moore had a rough game Thursday against Pittsburgh. He completed 15 of 27 passes for 164 yards and had two interceptions. He also was on the wrong end of a hard hit that resulted in a deep thigh bruise.
The acquisition of McCown likely pushes Moore to third on the depth chart. But all is not lost for Moore, a rookie free agent last season. If you read the above link you'll see that the Carolina brass still believe in him.
Moore played well in three starts for Carolina late last season after Delhomme, David Carr and Vinny Testaverde were injured.

Young students learn about science in college setting
Posted: 8:00 PM EDT Oct 04, 2012 Updated: 6:57 PM EDT Oct 05, 2012
Air is the key ingredient in a science lesson at Alvernia University in southwest Reading.
The Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania are teaching 250 Hispanic girls from Northwest Middle School in Reading about air and how it relates to science.
The goal is to give the girls a better understanding of science, and the chance to study in a college setting.

As Apple summons the tech press to its Cupertino headquarters to detail its future plans for the iPhone, we can't help but speculate on their announcements concerning applications for the phone built by third parties.
All signs point to Apple taking the wraps off a Software Development Kit (SDK) it had promised to deliver last month. When Apple does grant developers access to building native applications for the iPhone, it will mark a significant new direction for the iPhone since it was first previewed at the January 2007 Macworld Expo.
See also: Apple iPhone review
Back in the days before the iPhone's launch, Apple resisted calls to open the iPhone to third-party development, citing its desire to preserve the device's security and stability. By last summer's Worldwide Developer Conference, Apple had offered developers an alternative - they could create web-based applications that iPhone users would access through the device's built-in Safari browser.
While some software developers took Apple up on its web-based offer, others built native iPhone apps anyway. The catch was that, to install these third-party apps, users had to "jailbreak" their iPhones by intercepting the communication between the iPhone and iTunes. However this invalidates the warranty and runs the risk of future software updates rendering the phone inoperable.
In October, Apple signalled an end to this cat-and-mouse game, promising to deliver an iPhone SDK in February. That SDK is likely to be a major focus of Apple's forthcoming announcement. But the specifics of what Apple plans to say remain up in the air: how open will the iPhone be to third-party development? Will Apple place tight restrictions on third-party apps? Or will those restrictions only apply to paid-for apps? And when third-party applications do appear, that is of course assuming they won't be unveiled at Apple's announcement, what can we expect to see?
While we have to wait with baited breath to see exactly what Apple will say, here's our own wish-list of iPhone apps, ranked in ascending order of urgency, we want to see appear in native form.
25. Amazon Kindle client/e-book reader
Amazon's Kindle e-book reader is half brilliant and half failure. The brilliant part is Amazon's internet system, which allows you to easily search for and buy electronic books or periodicals and download them directly to the company's reader hardware. The failure part is the reader hardware itself, so poorly designed that it practically cries out for Apple to redesign it.

Amazon Kindle: hands-on first impressions
Since Apple's not in the business of doing Amazon's work for it, how about this instead: Amazon takes the part of Kindle that's brilliant - its internet and payment services - and sticks them on a piece of hardware with a design that's approximately 1 billion percent better than what Amazon's selling. Will people really buy and read books, magazines, and newspapers on their iPhones? If you're Amazon, it's worth a try.
NEXT PAGE: More native apps for the iPhone we'd like to see including Photo Booth, a digital spirit level and Unit Converter
As Apple prepares for its announcement regarding the iPhone, which is expected to include the Software Development Kit (SDK) it promised to deliver last month, we round-up the 25 most useful native iPhone apps we'd like to see.
24. Photo Booth
OK, so this is an Apple application. But we've found that if there's one app on our Macs that people can't resist playing with, particularly if they're of the kid persuasion - it's Photo Booth, OS X's built-in snapshot software. Adding a similar program to the iPhone that lets you apply funny filters and effects to photos you take with the iPhone's camera would probably be a big hit, especially with the younger set. And if Apple doesn't step up to the plate, what's to stop a third-party developer from responding to the void?
23. Screenshot utility
Perhaps this one is largely of interest to those of us who spend our time writing about the iPhone, but we've noticed that writing reads even better when it's accompanied by images of what's on the iPhone's screen. A screenshot application would allow us to reproduce such iPhone screens without the muss and fuss of jailbreaking a phone to install a similar Apple-unauthorised tool. And while the benefit to folks in our line of work is clear, we're sure that people who might want to include iPhone screen grabs in everything from presentations to QuickTime movies would welcome such a tool as well.
22. Digital level
Remember that spirit level in the garage, hanging there mocking you while you're upstairs, 60 feet away, trying to make sure your latest Picasso acquisition is hanging straight and level on the wall? Thanks to the accelerometers in the iPhone, you've actually got a pretty good replacement sitting right in your pocket. An application just needs to read and display the values from the accelerometers, and you could then easily see exactly when anything you're trying to hang is level. Sure, it won't replace a professional-grade, four foot aluminum level, but for odd jobs around the house, which are you more likely to be carrying when you need it?
21. Airfoil for iPhone
Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil 3 is a terrific tool for streaming any audio that runs through your Mac to an AirPort Express Base Station or Apple TV and its attached audio system. Wouldn't it be lovely to have a similar capability available on your iPhone? We'll answer that question for you - yes, it would.
20. Unit converter
If you find yourself routinely having to convert yards to meters, ounces to teaspoons, and Fahrenheit to Celsius when you're on your Mac, Dashboard's Unit Converter widget can handle all the work for you. A similar converter on your iPhone would let you handle the same tasks on your next trip abroad while also figuring out just how strong the pound is against the dollar.
NEXT PAGE: A better calculator, a radio client and a dictionary/thesaurus are just some of apps that make it in to our wish list
Although you love your iPhone to pieces, there's probably been a few moments when you've wished it had some more really useful native apps on it. For example a radio client or dictionary. We certainly have. Here's our round up of the 25 native apps the iPhone needs urgently.
19. Blogging client
If you've ever wanted to write up a blog post without having to contend with clunky web interfaces that aren't designed for the iPhone, then you may be in need of an iPhone-native blog client. Though the iPhone's onscreen keyboard probably wouldn't be ideal for cranking out thousand-word missives, a native client would likely make frequent bloggers very happy indeed.
18. Finger-paint tool
At first glance, a finger-painting app might seem like just another program to keep the kiddies busy on long plane trips and car rides, but it could also come in useful for adults too. Imagine you need to draw a quick diagram for someone, but you don't have a pen and paper handy. Just pull out your iPhone and scribble away on the screen. Your idea would take shape in no time.
17. Radio client
Sure, you've packed your iPhone with great music, but what good does that do you when you want to tune into the ball game or latest presidential debate? With a built-in internet radio client, you've got the best of both the pre-recorded and live-audio worlds.
16. A better calculator
PCalc is a snazzy £9.50 calculator that blows the iPhone calculator away. Heck, even OS X's Calculator can do advanced operations. How about a new calculator for geeks who aren't satisfied with the mind-numbingly simple calculator in the iPhone? Sometimes when you're on the go, you've just gotta do math.
15. Dictionary/thesaurus
Of course, a dictionary and a thesaurus are among the best weapons in a writer's arsenal, but anybody could benefit from having that kind of information at their fingertips: crossword enthusiasts, Scrabble players, nit-pickers who like to argue about word definitions. There's plenty of space on the iPhone for an extensive dictionary, and it would certainly be faster than having to fool around with the web.
14. Video player
The iPhone can play MPEG-4/H.264 videos, but what about DivX, MPEG-1, or other file types? Palm OS and Windows Mobile smart phones are much more flexible in their ability to play numerous video files - a VLC-type player would be a great addition to the iPhone, and do away with lengthy transcoding in many instances.
13. Twitter client
Social networking service Twitter and the iPhone go together like peanut butter and jelly. While there are a number of good web-based Twitter apps, having a native iPhone client would likely be speedier and easier to use, not to mention immensely popular among Twitteroholics. If nothing else, it would certainly edge out the unwieldy and potentially costly option of Twittering via SMS.
NEXT PAGE:A dedicated RSS reader, A voice over IP client and a SlingPlayer are just some of the iPhone apps that made it in to our top ten.
With Apple expected to unveil the Software Development Kit (SDK) for the iPhone, which it promised to deliver last month, we look at the 25 most useful native iPhone apps we'd like to see available.
12. Simple photo editor
It's great that you can upload iPhone photos to a .Mac web gallery, but wouldn't it be greater if you could tweak those pictures before you send them packing? With a simple photo editor that offered color balancing, bare-bones levels control, cropping, straightening, and the ability to convert images to black and white, you could.
11. Flickr uploader
The iPhone's camera is better than many of those you'll find on other cell phones, but the primary ways you share photos taken with that camera are e-mail and .Mac; it would be nice if there were more options. A native program that would allow you to take pictures shot by the built-in camera, as well as ones synced from your iPhoto library, and upload them to photo-sharing service Flickr seems like a natural fit for the iPhone.
10. PDF/Comic Book Viewer
Someone give us a dedicated reader for rich-media documents. The PDF viewer inside Mail is okay, but what about a program with support for PDF bookmarks as well as some innovative navigation tools to make it easier to read PDFs on the iPhone? And while you're at it, do iPhone-toting comic book geeks a big favor and add support for reading comic books in PDF, CBR, and CBZ formats, so we can stay abreast of Spidey's adventures on the go.
9. Dedicated RSS reader
For those that live or die by their RSS feeds, even the best web-based client can never take the place of a good native program. When you're mobile, that goes double. A native RSS client would ideally let you easily download your feeds and then peruse them even when you don't have network access, but in order to compete with existing web-based readers, it'll likely need to take advantage of some sort of syncing.
8. VoIP
A Voice over IP client (à la Skype) has been among the top requests for iPhone apps since the device's introduction, so we've no doubt that such an application would be wildly popular. It would be a great option, especially if you happen to live smack in the middle of a mobile phone dead spot.
7. VNC client
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) lets you control other computers remotely - think Apple's Remote Desktop software and Leopard's Screen Sharing feature. Since the iPhone is a portable computer, it would be great if you could use it to, say, control your home server while on the road.
6. Voice notes
The iPhone can do nearly everything you can think of, except record your voice. This seems a glaring oversight, given that the device has a microphone, a fair amount of storage space, and is powered by OS X. Adding voice note capabilities shouldn't be that hard. Nonetheless, the lack of an Apple-provided solution opens the door for other developers to step in. The ideal application will automatically time- and date-stamp each voice note recording, and offer a method of synching them back to your Mac. Going a step further, the voice-note application could use the Maps' new position estimation feature to also stamp a location on your voice note recording, so later on, you can listen to what you said and know where your were when you said it.
NEXT PAGE: A Mac controller, a document editor and an AIM client all feature in our list of the 25 most urgent native apps for iPhone but just which one made number one? Read on to find out.
We're sure you've had one of those moments where you wished your iPhone had a few more native apps on it. Well, so have we. So much so in fact, that we've put together a list of the 25 most urgently needed iPhone native apps.
5. SlingPlayer
The Slingbox lets you watch your TV from anywhere in the world, so long as there's an internet connection. Sling Media offers players for Macs, PCs, and phones using Windows Mobile and Palm. So why not iPhone? Granted, the iPhone's EDGE data connection may not provide a very good TV-viewing experience... but Wi-Fi sure does. The notion of pulling out an iPhone to watch a football match while sitting in the airport or a Starbucks (or anywhere really) certainly has its appeal.
4. Text macro tool
As good as the iPhone's keyboard and word recognition are you still wouldn't want to use it to write the Great American Novel. That's where a text macro tool - much like TypeIt4Me or TextExpander on the Mac - comes into play. Define your often-used words and phrases as shortcuts, then just type those shortcuts wherever you need them. No more pecking out "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in your offer of an extremely low-cost tower in the London area" as a reply to every spam e-mail you receive; instead, just tap out !nospam, and your text macro tool does the rest of the work (and for the record, you shouldn't be responding to spam anyway).
3. Mac controller
If you've ever used Salling Clicker, then you'll understand this app. Running on your iPhone, it lets you remotely control your Mac by, for example, changing iTunes playback, running your Keynote or PowerPoint presentation, controlling Front Row, or even perhaps displaying and interact with your Mac's user interface. With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support, you'll even be able to control your Mac from long distances -perfect for those times you left that key file at home and need to e-mail it to yourself in your hotel.
2. Document editor
Sure, you can view files e-mailed to you using the iPhone's built-in Mail program. But what about editing those documents or maybe even creating ones of your own? The iPhone needs a built-in document editor, one that lets you create documents as well as modify those sent to you by others. This is a feature best addressed by Apple (a mobile version of TextEdit, anyone?), but in the absence of that, a mobile text editor or word processor would be heavenly. Especially if Apple ever lets us use its snazzy Bluetooth keyboard with the iPhone.
1. AIM client
E-mail and SMS are great for keeping in touch, but they are no match for the speed and dynamic nature of instant messaging. It seems unlikely that Apple will bring iChat over to the iPhone after all O2 makes a lot of money from SMS, so that would be shooting Apple's partner in the foot. But someone else should create an AIM or multi-service client such as Adium for the iPhone.

Favorite thing The second day of the wedding had all the women together, having mehendi applied. The floors of the room were covered with mattresses and pillows so we could all sit comfortably. The elder women in the family played and sang traditional folk songs and brought delicious foods throughout the day.
Favorite thing The Prince Of Wales Museum or Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastusanghralaya as it has been recently renamed after the famous Maratha warrior king Shivaji is built in the Indo-Saracenic style in honour of the then King George V's visit to India and built by George Wikket.
Entrance is Rs.10 for adults and the timings are from 1015 to 1800 hours everyday except Mondays when it is closed. Free audio guides in English, French and German are available for foreigners who have to pay a slightly higher entrance fee to see the museum. Photography and videography is allowed but you have to pay an extra Rs.30 for the permit.
It has three main sections: Art, Archeology and Natural History. It also houses a vast collection of Chinese jade pieces, Victorian Oil paintings and weaponry from the Mughal era.
A new wing of the museum called the Premchand Roychand Gallery was recently inaugurated and is now open for viewing from the 26th of November 2002.
Worth taking a peek into Indian Art and History!!!
Favorite thing We were travelling with an English family with 4 very blonde children aged 6 - 16 years.
As we left the caves I became aware that a small group of about 7/8 Indian youths were following us.
I was the only adult close to the children and lingered to keep an eye on them - but all the lads wanted was to have their photograph taken with the little blondies.
I, we all, had such a lot of happy fun taking the photos - on the cameras the Indian boys offered - but I really regret not having a pictiure of that happy, spontaneous friendly gathering myself.
So - if people stare - don't run away - they most probably want to be friends!
Favorite thing Depending on the service rendered, 5% of the total cost is appropriate. There is a service charge of 10% in most up-market hotels. While hiring taxis or autos, there is no need for tipping since they are all run according to metres. If you wish, tip at your discretion.
Favorite thing Since in 1668 the British East India Company received this lands from the crown and founded the modern city, Mumbai (former Bombay, from the portuguese name "Bom Bahia", Good Bay) has been filled with many architectural samples from the Metropoli.
It's weird to see such British buildings and double decker buses in such a tropical and hunid atmosphere. Most of them are a bit ruined by the high humidity, but certainly keep that old colonial air that makes them so interesting...
Fondest memory That would have to be just hanging out with my friends and meeting their family. The days where all the women sat around, the elder women played folk music and we all had mehendhi applied was very special.
Favorite thing On the fourth day of the wedding, the couple sat together under a tent of beautiful fabric. its poles garlanded with fresh flowers. The bride's sister sat next to her, the priest and the holy book in front of them. The guests sat on the floor behind the couple, talked and walked about freely. That people walked around and talked during the ceremony was a surprise to me. One of the cousins urged me to get up and walk to a spot to take this photo, assuring me that it was not rude, disrespectful, etc. She seemed to be right, as I got in no trouble at all for taking this photo.

D-AIR® STREET Protection when you need it
D-air® Street is the Dainese airbag designed for use on the road. D-air® Street works without any physical connection to the motorcycle and comprises two systems - one that's installed on the bike, called M-kit, and one that's fitted in the jacket, called J-kit. This architecture enables rapid crash response times and effective protection throughout the dynamics of a road accident.
Tests carried out in accordance with the current European Standards for back protectors (EN 1621-2) show that D-air® Street reduces the impact forces transferred by 72% compared with traditional level 2 back protectors.
D-air® Street protects riders and pillions on the road, recognising and activating in the event of:
Thanks to its intelligent triggering algorithm, D-air® Street can assess the violence of a crash and only trigger when actually necessary in the scenarios considered. It won't, for example, trigger for impacts at speeds of less than less than 7 kph.
HOW D-AIR® STREET PROTECTSD-air® Street comprises M-kit and J-KIT.
The J-kit consists of:
- Pneumatic system comprising two high-pressure airbags with a total volume of 12 litres and two cold-technology gas generators.

With the firing of Manny Acta and Scott Radinsky earlier in the season, the Indians are set for a complete overhaul in the coaching staff. With the hiring of Terry Francona the Indians have already started making some changes. Interim manager and bench coach for the last few years, Sandy Alomar has been retained for an undisclosed position while third base coach Steve Smith and batting coach Bruce Fields have been let go. The Indians have yet to announce any formal changes outside of Francona, so it is yet to be known whether or not they will exchange pitching coach Ruben Niebla or bullpen coach Dave Miller for coaches chosen by Francona himself. Former Columbus Clippers manager Mike Sarbaugh finished the year as the team's interim bench coach, but will almost certainly go back to 2013. He didn't take over the job until long after the end of the AAA season, so he was already spending each game in the Indians dugout.
There have already been some rumors and speculation about possible replacement coaches, the strongest being about former Houston Astros manager Brad Mills. The Indians have had interest in Mills for awhile now, as the looked at him as a possible manager before hiring Acta in the first place. Now that the Astros are cleaning house before their move to the American League, Mills is available again and has a lot of close ties to new manager Francona. Mills spent six years under Francona as the bench coach for the Boston Red Sox. The most likely job for Mills would be bench coach, but that position has been tentatively filled by Alomar. Alomar is unlikely to accept a demotion to base coach and the same is true of Mills. One position that is open is that of batting coach, which Mills could possibly take over, although that is unlikely.
An unorthodox move that could work out is the transition of Alomar to pitching coach. After catching Major League pitching for more than 20 years, there are few people around baseball more capable of taking over the Tribe's staff. He could be given the bullpen coach job or the full time pitching coach job where he would be able to stay in Cleveland and still work with Carlos Santana while having his main focus on helping out the Indians young relievers. This would allow Mills to become the bench coach with holes at the base coaches and hitting coach.
While Francona may want to bring the whole bunch back together in Cleveland, he will be unable to bring his old hitting coach from Boston, Dave Magadan, as he was recently signed by Texas to be their new hitting coach. Hitting coach will probably be the most important decision for the Tribe as the team is mostly filled with young players who would benefit greatly from a good teacher.
If Sarbaugh does not go back to AAA, I wouldn't be surprised to see him be instated as the new third base coach. It is not the most important position on the staff, but is a good introductory job for a potential future manager. It would be a step up from his current position in Columbus and help he see how things are done at the Major League level on a day to day basis. If he is promoted, Aeros manager Chris Tremie should get a shot in Columbus after the fantastic things he did with a fluctuating roster in Akron this year. Akron was the most successful part of the entire Cleveland Indians organization, winning the Eastern League title by beating the Trenton Thunder.
Whoever the Indians decide to hire, they are expected to make their decisions soon, so the entire coaching staff can get some input on the make-up on the roster. Hiring Terry Francona was the most important move and retaining Sandy was the second. Now the most important thing is to get a group of people together that can work as a team and bring the Indians back to excellence.

Barbara Rich, 78 - February 05, 2012
Barbara F. Rich, 78, of Willamina, OR, passed away Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012, at her home.
Private family graveside services took place on Friday, Feb. 10, at Restlawn Memorial Gardens at Salem, OR.
Rich was born one of four children to Ted and Thelma (Stauffer) Wells on Aug. 16, 1933, at Blue Springs.
On Nov. 26, 1948, she was united in marriage to Ken Rich of Gothenburg, at Kearney. To this union, six children were born.
She and her family moved west in 1953 to Willamina. Besides being a homemaker, she was employed with the service industry, and worked for the Willamina School District as a cook for 22 years. She baked the best homemade rolls and cinnamon rolls, according to family members.
Rich was a member of the Willamina Civic Club and the Good Cheer Club.
She enjoyed spending time with her friends and had a passion for animals and loved to garden, said family members.
Rich was preceded in death by: two sons—Ronald Rich in September of 1996, and Darold Rich in January of 2001.
Survivors include: her husband of 63 years, Ken; daughters—Carole Crites of Sheridan and Connie Milton of McMinnville; sons—Rodney Rich and Duane Rich of Sheridan; two brothers—Jack Wells of Willamina and Derry Wells of Grants Pass; a sister, Beverly Youngs of Kelso, WA; brothers-in-law—Allen Rich of Gothenburg and Robert Rich of Salem; 11 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

An old-fashioned welcomePosted by Jon Champion on 28/01/2010
Even as someone lucky enough to visit the great citadels of English football on a regular basis, I am really looking forward to my trip to Turf Moor on Saturday. And not just because of the quality of the fish and chips outside the ground or even the pies within!
Whenever I have been to Burnley over the years, I have always been struck by the authenticity of the experience. The Clarets were founder members of the Football League in 1888. Turf Moor was their home then, just as it is now. As a backdrop, the Pennines take some beating, while the stadium itself, with its steep stands and old wooden seats, radiates history and noise.
The dressing rooms are spartan by today's standards of luxury. The corridor that runs outside them is dimly lit and heavily populated by people scurrying in and out of a myriad of tiny rooms housing boots, laundry and memories.
Contrast that with the majority of Premier League venues, where the players' environment is all subdued lighting, plunge pools and brushed steel - there is no comparison. When Chelsea's multinational squad strut off the bus ahead of Saturday's teatime's live game on ESPN, they will be stepping back in time.
Indeed, the last Chelsea team to turn out at Turf Moor - back in 1983 - would have encountered similar conditions. For the record, Burnley won that game 3-0, with a brace of goals from Northern Ireland's World Cup hero Billy Hamilton. Playing at right-back for the Clarets that day was 21-year-old Brian Laws. Saturday sees him make his home debut as Burnley's manager.
It's not the easiest job to have walked into. Owen Coyle is a hard act to follow and money is clearly tight. Three months without a Premier League win has seen much of the early-season optimism drift away. The last four home matches have ended in 1-1 draws and, for the first time, Burnley are in the bottom three, but if they are to save themselves, most of the salvage work will have to be done on their own pitch. They need Turf Moor to be as partisan and unwelcoming as possible.
They will hope to give Chelsea a stiff examination. The leaders have breezed through January and barely noticed the loss of their African players, but Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou are now back in the mix. They entertain Arsenal next weekend but can afford no slip-ups at Burnley or Hull before that capital collision.
So Saturday is all about antiquity of surroundings, while ESPN's Monday Night Football comes from the most modern of settings as Sunderland face Stoke at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland have forgotten how to defend and therefore how to win, but Stoke will arrive still buzzing from their FA Cup win over Arsenal. Only two points separate them in the Premier League table.
It will be a night for reunions. Six current Potters - Sorensen, Higginbotham, Collins, Delap, Whitehead and Lawrence - used to be Black Cats, and Stoke's assistant manager, Peter Reid, was the man who led Sunderland to consecutive seventh-place finishes in the Premier League.
Steve Bruce's men haven't won in the League since beating Arsenal more than two months ago. Victory over the Gunners was a bad omen for them; their aim now is to make Stoke suffer a similar fate.
Time for Ronaldo to face realityPosted by Dave Roberts on 28/01/2010
So Cristano Ronaldo is not happy at his two match ban, which he sees as 'excessive'. I've only one thing to say: 'Oh Diddums!'
Peyret: Ronaldo - Angel or Demon?
Each time I replay the weekend's incident which left Partick Mtiliga with a broken nose I wince more and more. Ronaldo knew perfectly well what he was doing, his glance towards his opponent prior to throwing the forearm smash providing enough evidence to confirm his guilt.
He sized up Mtiliga, waited for the perfect moment and unleashed an intentional strike to the player's face while doing his very best to make it look so accidental every Ronaldo fan on the planet can critcise my views for life. The fact is however, if he had been still wearing the red of Manchester United, he would have faced an automatic three-match ban for violent conduct.
Yes, I have to admit to taking a little satisfaction from his latest reaction as Karma at last seems to have appeared in the life of the Portuguese star. There is no doubt he is a hugely gifted player, and one I'd have in my team at an instant, but he has finally got his comeuppance.
Ronaldo has constantly flaunted the rules with his pathetic diving. He doesn't just wait for contact, nor invites it, the former United charge has become the master of going down like a sack of spuds at the mere presence of another human being. His contorted faces of pure petulance when things don't go his way another talent he could without.
So yes, I take joy in seeing him contort again to the news of punishment and hope it serves to remind him that there is more to the game than just talent. Try self control. However, my personal satisfaction is a little tempered at my disappointment at the Spanish Association's (RFEF) acceptance that the 'flailing forearm' was neither wilful nor reckless. Come on, I ask you? For observations stated previously, I cannot go along with that one.
Therefore it is left to Spain's Sporting Disciplinary Committee (CEDD) to hear Real's appeal. Let us hope for the sake of the game they have sufficient backbone to take a leaf out of the English FA book and add to the punishment for a 'frivolous appeal'.
Something tells me I shouldn't hold my breath too long as the glitz of the appealer and pedestal height of the appealee, may well result in Senor Ronaldo pulling on the white jersey to face Espanyol next weekend.

Bobby Manc: The Man City deityPosted by Jon Champion on 14/01/2010
Their new-found wealth notwithstanding, there truly is no other club quite like Manchester City. Black and white would be more appropriate colours than the cherished light blue because they only seem to deal in extremes.
There is no middle ground for City's followers. It's either desolation or delight. The glass is never half-full or half-empty, only brimming over the edge or totally drained.
A straw poll of fans and officials in the wake of Monday's impressive display against Blackburn uncovered a general belief that world domination cannot now be far away. After December's messy divorce from Mark Hughes, January has brought a whirlwind romance with Roberto Mancini.
No other manager in the club's history has begun with four consecutive victories, and when the urbane Italian strolled along the corridors of power at Eastlands late on Monday evening, still wearing that now familiar scarf, he was greeted like some sort of deity.
So anxious are Manchester City's followers for sustained success that reason may have temporarily deserted them. Yes, they've made a perfect start under their new mentor and things look promising, but when this observer dared suggest a touch of realism and pointed out the accommodating nature of their recent fixtures, he was dismissed as some sort of spoilsport lunatic!
They may well be right, but if Roberto Mancini had been allowed to choose his early games, he might well have picked Wolves, Stoke, Middlesbrough and Blackburn. The Carling Cup semi-final ties against their neighbours and Premier League games in February against Liverpool and Chelsea may be a more accurate indicator. So too will be ESPN's live game this Saturday at Goodison Park.
Cruelly deprived of their best players for much of the past year, Everton are beginning to find their feet. They led twice at the Emirates last weekend and both the Gunners' goals came courtesy of hefty deflections. The signing of Landon Donovan provides new impetus and genuine quality. They will be no-one's soft touch from here on in.
Therefore we may start to get a clearer picture of where City stand. What Mancini has unquestionably brought is greater defensive rigour. Extra training sessions at Carrington have centred on establishing two banks of four when defending and the manager's mantra demands those lines of midfielders and defenders should never be more than ten yards apart.
In Mark Hughes' last four games, City conceded ten goals; in Mancini's first four matches, they've let in just one – and Morten Gamst Pedersen's effort for Blackburn on Monday elicited immediate anger from the Italian on the touchline.
There's also the Tevez factor to consider. A United substitute has rapidly become a City star, relishing the trust placed in him and happy to hog the limelight.
Others displaced under Hughes – and I'm thinking in particular of Martin Petrov – have been given a fresh start. And then there was the left-field selection of Benjani, who promptly set up 3 of the 4 goals against hapless Rovers.
So, all in all, a terrific start for Bobby Manc, as the fans have taken to calling Mancini. But Manchester City wouldn't be the club it is without a history of false dawns, so a little perspective wouldn't go amiss. We'll know more in a week's time.
The 'Big Freeze' is snow jokePosted by Jon Champion on 07/01/2010
According to our overworked weather forecasters, we are now in the midst of Britain's coldest spell of weather for nearly 30 years. Another week or so of this and the comparison will be with the 'Big Freeze' of 1963 when, so my ageing relatives tell me, the nation had to do without football for a full six weeks.
Inactivity led to innovation. Leicester tried - and failed - to protect Filbert Street with a tent, Chelsea used a tar-burner, whilst Blackpool employed a flame-thrower.
These days, pitches have better heating systems than most houses, and the majority of postponements at our well-appointed stadiums come about because the surrounding roads and pavements have yet to enjoy similar luxurious treatment.
All of which is a roundabout way of saying that any blog looking ahead to this weekend's football may be rendered redundant by an army of Health and Safety officials - and that would be a pity because ESPN's two live games have plenty to commend them.
Saturday teatime sees Manchester United visiting St Andrew's to face a Birmingham City team defying expectation. A run of 11 Premier League games without defeat is Blues' best in the top division since 1908…12 would be a club record - and if Alex McLeish names an unchanged team for a ninth consecutive match, that would be a first in the history of the Barclays Premier League.
By contrast, Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to ignore the attraction of saying "same again" for the 100th time in a row, although given the dreadful nature of their FA Cup exit against Leeds, perhaps that's not a shock.
What is surprising is the way all the leading teams are passing up the chance to seize the title baton and run with it. Arsene Wenger reckons the Premier League could be won with as few as 78 points this year, and that is unheard of.
Two weeks ago, Birmingham would have beaten Chelsea but for a dubious offside call against Christian Benitez. Manchester United have every reason to feel concerned over what awaits them in Bordesley Green.
Then on Monday it's off to Eastlands for ESPN's other live fixture. Manchester City versus Blackburn could be a foretaste of the Carling Cup Final.
Roberto Mancini couldn't have asked for a more accommodating sequence of games with which to ease himself into the manager's chair. Blackburn have gone eight matches without a league victory - too long for comfort - but they showed at Old Trafford earlier in the season that they can be obdurate, and Sam Allardyce will have them well prepared.
City's list of injured and absent will also be a factor, although reinforcements would seem to be on the way, quite possibly led by Patrick Vieira.
The club's reporting of an annual loss of £92 million passed without rigorous comment this week, but it appears recruitment will continue apace. At this stage of the Abu Dhabi 'project', the balance sheet is immaterial. It's to be hoped the beating heart of a unique club remains strong amidst the cascade of cash.

Frederick police are still investigating the accidental shooting death of a toddler and they have not determined whether or not charges will be filed in the case.
On Oct. 28, emergency crews responded to the 3-year-old boy's home after his mother told 911 dispatchers that her son had apparently fallen, wasn't breathing and was bleeding from his head.
The boy, Sheine Steine, was pronounced dead later that day, and the Weld County Coroner's office determined that he died from an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound.
First responders found a Glock .40-caliber handgun near the boy. Steine's step-father, Jeremy McCollem, owns the gun and was not home at the time of the shooting, police said. Steine's older sister was also not at the home.
Frederick Police Chief Gary Barbour said on Friday that the investigation is ongoing, and the department will soon take the case to the Weld District Attorney's Office to determine whether or not charges will be filed.
Barbour has not released details on how the boy got a hold of the gun. The coroner's report has not been released.

CoQ10 – health benefit or benefit fraud?
In 2009, Boots the Chemist promoted a Coenzyme Q10 product under a blaze of energy-boosting publicity. To their great surprise, the high street favourite retailer was hit by a concerted campaign rubbishing the claim that CoQ10 generates energy in the body. A clear case, claimed the critics, including eminent professors of physiology, of bad science and a very misleading claim. Fact is, CoQ10 does help the body's cells release energy… but not the type of get-up-and-go energy so celebrated with superfoods like wheatgrass juice. Here is an explanation of the type of energy that CoQ10 reputedly produces, taken from an article on the DC Science website – one of the more vociferous critics of pseudo science and natural health but a useful explanation.
Coenzyme Q10 (also known as ubiquinone) is a relatively small molecule. It cooperates with cytochrome enzymes (big proteins) to synthesize a molecule called ATP. This is a chemical form of energy that can be used to do work, such as making a muscle fibre contract.
The word "energy " here is used in the sense that a physicist would use it. It is measured in joules or in calories. The meaning of the word 'energy' is described nicely in the Wikipedia entry. For example, when an electric current passes through a resistor (like a kettle) the electrical energy is converted to heat energy, and the energy used is potential difference (volts) X current (amps) X time. In other words energy is power (in watts) times time. So another unit for energy is kilowatt-hours (one kilowatt-hour is about 3.6 megajoules).
Energy in this sense has nothing whatsoever to do with the everyday use of 'energy' to indicate your vitality, or how lively you feel.
Furthermore there is not the slightest empirical reason to think that CoQ10 makes you feel more lively.
So what are we supposed to think?
The explanation above clearly raises some key issues about vitality and health claims. People who take CoQ10 regularly often report heightened energy levels and feeling 'great' on the supplement. The anecdotal evidence (not admissible in the court of empirical reason) supports the 'feeling energised' claim and has been consistent enough over the last ten years or so to contest the placebo effect… the explanation doctors and medical scientists normally give in this context.
Surely, if CoQ10 does what it is believed to do (as above) then the body, we assume, operates at a more efficient level than if it was lacking CoQ10. Hence, we experience a higher level of vitality. If only some of the critics actually tried the supplements they condemn so readily, they might experience the same levels of vitality and well-being that others have felt, and so question whether there could be some truth in the claims made. In other words, just because clinical studies have not confirmed something, doesn't, by definition, make it false.
Getting to the heart of the matter
So what clinical evidence is there to support taking CoQ10? Here are examples taken from the website About Alternative Medicine.
· Double-blind research suggests that CoQ10 may reduce symptoms related to heart failure, such as shortness of breath, difficulty sleeping, and swelling. CoQ10 is thought to increase energy production in the heart muscle, increasing the strength of the pumping action.
· In one study, 641 people with congestive heart failure were randomized to receive either CoQ10 (2 mg per kg body weight) or a placebo plus standard treatment. People who took the CoQ10 had a significant reduction in symptom severity and fewer hospitalizations.
· A study randomized 55 patients with congestive heart failure to receive either 200 mg per day of CoQ10 or a placebo in addition to standard treatment. Although serum levels of CoQ10 increased in patients receiving CoQ10, CoQ10 didn't affect ejection fraction, peak oxygen consumption, or exercise duration.
A longer-term study investigated the use of 100 mg of CoQ10 or a placebo in addition to standard treatment in
· 79 patients with stable chronic congestive heart failure. The results indicated that CoQ10 only slightly improved maximal exercise capacity and quality of life compared with the placebo.
· Lower levels of CoQ10 have also been observed in people with Parkinson's disease. Preliminary research has found that increasing CoQ10 may increase levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is thought to be lowered in people with Parkinson's disease. It has also been suggested that CoQ10 might protect brain cells from damage by free radicals.
· A larger 16-month trial funded by the National Institutes of Health explored the use of CoQ10 (300, 600 or 1200 mg/day) or a placebo in 80 patients with early stage Parkinson's disease. The results suggested that CoQ10, especially at the 1200 mg per day dose, had a significant reduction in disability compared to those who took a placebo.
· In a 12-week randomized controlled trial, 74 people with type 2 diabetes were randomized to receive either 100 mg CoQ10 twice daily, 200 mg per day of fenofibrate (a lipid regulating drug), both or neither for 12 weeks. CoQ10 supplementation significantly improved blood pressure and glycemic control.
· A small study looked at the topical application of CoQ10 to the periodontal pocket. Ten male periodontitis patients with 30 periodontal pockets were selected. During the first 3 weeks, the patients applied topical CoQ10. There was significant improvement in symptoms.
- A small study looked at the topical application of CoQ10 to the periodontal pocket. Ten male periodontitis patients with 30 periodontal pockets were selected. During the first 3 weeks, the patients applied topical CoQ10. There was significant improvement in symptoms.
Clearly, CoQ10 can have beneficial effects and so is worth trying as a supplement, even perhaps as a preventative before degenerative illnesses creep in. The same could probably be said for Coenzyme A supplementation. CoA is reputedly the master coenzyme that helps raise levels of CoQ10. CoA and CoQ10, as supplements, are catalysers, helping the body create Coenzyme A or CoQ10. But whatever the defenders of good science say, people on these coenzyme supplements often report restored levels of vitality… even those who were skeptical beforehand. So where does that leave the placebo effect?

(1) Huh? unsigned char c; while(cin>>c) cout<<c<<'\n'; gives exactly what I expect
(2) The value of (unsigned char)0 *is* 0; not the value of the character '0'
- What exactly do you expect? Moreover, your thought experiment is incomplete, as you have provided no assumptions for the behavior of (cin >> c). I am sure that our expectations coincide on assumption that cin is empty
- But the text form of (unsigned char) 0 is the string "0", not the character '\0'.
