The number of so-called Layaway Angels, who pay off strangers' debts as a surprise, are on the rise. Boguslaw Mazur / Shutterstock
Make way, Santa. "Layaway Angels" are stealing your thunder! Some generous consumers are paying off tabs at retail stores in displays of kindness that have moved some layaway shoppers to tears.
The number of secret Santas has been on the rise, according to a Friday story in USA Today, which cites the story of a Wisconsin woman who received a call from a Walmart (NYSE: WMT) store last week telling her that the remaining $100 on her layaway—including toys, slippers and cartoon DVDs for her five children—had been paid. "I cried," the woman said.
According to the National Retail Federation, layaway has roots in the Depression era, when some consumers had little to their name and retailers, in good faith, offered to let them make payments on merchandise they wanted to buy. When credit cards emerged as a popular payment method throughout the 1980s and 1990s, layaway began dwindling and some retailers eventually got rid of the program. But it re-emerged with the Great Recession in 2008, with Walmart relaunching its program last year.
Toys R Us encourages the donations with a program it launched in October: for each layaway balance paid off as an act of kindness, the company will donate $200 worth of toys—the approximate average value of a layaway order created at the store—to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, up to $1 million in toys, adds USA Today.
Apparently, the trend began last year at an Indianapolis Super Kmart store when a middle-aged woman walked into the store's layaway department and paid off as many as 50 customers' layaway balances (in memory of her late husband), and then handed out $50 bills to those waiting in line to pay.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

Trust the Dutch to do it right...
In 1995 a group of innovators in the Dutch music industry initiated a modest event to support and promote global dance culture alongside the country's own dance industry. Thirteen years later and Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) has become the biggest event of its kind in the world, expertly balancing a conference programme and a festival – essentially 2,000 professionals doing business by day before mixing with 90,000 party kids paying their respects by going crazy at the 44 venues littered across town.
This year's event featured performances from some of the biggest names in dance music, including Richie Hawtin, Sven Vath, Peaches, Trentemøller, Armin Van Buurin, Bomb the Bass, Digitalism, Josh Wink, Tommy Sunshine and Groove Armada, alongside scores of exciting up and comers.
Overall – 9/10
ADE is as if SXSW sped up the bpm and added more canals. It can't be easy putting on such a massive event, but organisers Buma Cultuur show their passion and respect for dance culture with a well-organised and executed festival. Everything seems to go without a hitch and even though venues are spread around town Amsterdam's accessible transport system and addictive, easy-going attitude means commuting between them seems like a breeze.
Ticket-wise, the business minded can buy a delegate pass (early bird passes this year were €200), which grants access to seminars and panel discussions during the day and all of the 700 acts playing across the city over four nights. You can buy tickets for all events separately – ranging from 35 Euros for big acts like Richie Hawtin to 10 Euros for the smaller events – but if you have a serious interest in dance culture and a Tasmanian Devil-like festival-mode the price of a delegate pass works out very reasonable.
The seminars included compelling discussions on 20 Years of House Music, Perspectives on Publicity, Artists Debates and Dave Clarke's infamous Demo Demolition, where producers braved the opinions of professionals.
Getting there and back – 8/10
Okay it's not on your doorstep, but considering many of the UK's airports fly to Amsterdam – and the train from Schipol Airport lands you at Central Station in less than 20 minutes – commuting time is on a par with Glastonbury. There are plenty of affordable hotels, guest houses and hostels but demand generally outstrips supply in Amsterdam so it's best to book as early as possible, otherwise prices make London look cheap and cheerful.
The Site – 10/10
Can there be a better location than roaming about Amsterdam looking for filthy electro? Avoiding clichéd areas like the Red Light district is a definite tip as it'll force you towards some of Amsterdam's brown cafes, tiny bars full of character and amazing beer, where you're more likely to find a heady Dutch atmosphere and new friends. Delegate packs included handy maps listing all the venues, but this could be easily matched with a little research and a marker pen. A dozen venues, like the legendary Melkweg and Paradiso, are situated around the popular Leidse and Rembrant squares, which are within walking distance of each other.
Elsewhere, some venues, like Flex (where Peaches played an exclusive DJ set) and OT301(where the incredible booty-bassists Detroit Grand Pubahs played in a semi-legal squat), involved a trek that limited the choices of an evening; but all the same Steve Bug and Josh Wink played at the MTV Studios, which was only accessible by ferry – how often do you take a ferry to get trashed on techno?
Atmosphere – 9/10
Amsterdam's history of tolerance and open-mindness lends itself well to ADE – even on cold, wintry nights you'll find warmth and welcome. Add 90,000 festival heads lapping up all that is cutting edge and popular and it's easy to see why this city has a reputation for partying.
Music – 9/10
Dr Lektroluv
It's hard to believe Dr Lektroluv is so little known in the UK. Notorious for his tight'n'sleazy electro sets, he totally smashes apart ADE's opening party at the Melkweg, cutting together dirty, bouncy electro, including tracks by Russian prodigy Proxy and Teenage Bad Girl. He does all this while wearing a green mask, a gold suit and mixing via a telephone. Genius.
An intoxicating two hour DJ set that saw Anders Trentemøller move between teasing out the chilling, minimal sounds of his classic album 'The Last Resort' and creating a mess of dancefloor bodies by distorting the likes of Rage Against The Machine and the Cure. Dark, menacing, but always compelling.
Addictive TV
Officially the world's best video DJ's, they kick-started a hyper set of visuals and rapid-fire electro with their gunfire-remix of the new Max Payne film, then followed it by knocking the collective heads of Quentin Tarantino and Queen's 'Another One Bites the Dust' together. Playing an exclusive set to under a hundred people in a sneakers shop, ATV's gig was typical of ADE's cool attention to detail.
The filthiest, dirtiest, sleaziest electro filth possible, the Italian duo played one of the sets of the festival. Bouncy, beautiful and completely addictive, Crookers were almost upstaged by the crazed Melkweg crowd when they dropped Proxy's new single 'Raven', and everyone knelt down before leaping back up and continuing to mosh on the break.
Ended ADE on a high, dropping tracks from their own 'Idealist' album with cuts by Beastie Boys, Alice Cooper before the stage was rushed by party heads (including Tommi Sunshine, typically shaded and with a girl in an x-rated bikini).
More sneaker shop madness: the nightly parties at the tiny K-Space store were legendary. Clubbers fought for space on benches and tables while exclusive DJ's played luscious minimal techno. Giles Peterson and Richie Hawtin even popped in, adding to the chaos and causing wide smiles all round.
The Felix Meritis on the Keizersgracht. The beautifully-designed and dignified building was the base for all delegates during ADE and where most seminars were held. Highly influential during the enlightenment (the name translates as 'Happy through Merit'), it served as a base for great minds to discuss and promote the arts. Very apt that it continues to do so via ADE.
Catching the time on your watch during an astounding Crookers set and realising that Bomb The Bass were playing thirty yards away at the Sugar Factory but knowing there was no way you could leave.

In our recent review of Sharp's 37LE320E, we listed a series of rival models that made the Sharp look expensive. And it turns out we could have added the LG 42LE4900 to that list. For despite costing just £529 versus the Sharp's £600+, it's five inches larger; uses the same edge LED illumination technology; and also adds the Freeview HD tuner and online services that were both so conspicuously absent from Sharp's disappointing effort.
In fact, on paper the 42LE4900 is a potentially huge bargain by any standards. Surely there must be a catch somewhere?
If there is, it's not obvious from the TV's exterior. In fact, the set is very glamorous, thanks to its sub-30mm depth, polished finish, and tasteful little downlight emerging from the bezel's bottom edge.
Its connections humble many more expensive TVs too. Four v1.3 HDMIs kick us off, but other notable highlights are an Ethernet port and two USB jacks. Especially as the Ethernet provides both DLNA PC networking and access to LG's NetCast online service, while the USBs prove able to handle an impressive variety of multimedia files - including DivX HD.
The 42LE4900's screen is a full HD affair, able to deliver a claimed (though doubtless fanciful) 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The set even provides enough calibration tools to earn an endorsement from the independent Imaging Science Foundation (ISF).
These tools don't, it has to be said, extend to the full colour management system found on models higher up LG's range - a fact that rather surprised us given the ISF's usual liking for decent colour management facilities. But you can still adjust, among other things, noise levels, the dynamic contrast engine, skin colour adjustment, and gamma settings.
If all these fine-tuning options scare you, fear not. For LG provides a handy Picture Wizard feature on the 42LE4900 which guides you through picture set up via a series of easy to understand test signals. This isn't quite as precise as fine-tuning everything yourself, but most people will be more than happy with the Picture Wizard's results.
John, can we assume you have completely given up measuring input lag?
oh dear!
All I can say is that if you see one of these cheap for heavens sake don't buy it! Every one I have had the unfortunate time to fault find on has had a failed main processor board which is not repairable in any shape or form so they are bin fodder! Symptoms include failed HDMI inputs, completely dead processor board apart from the on screen graphics which means no inputs at all on any socket, no sound via HDMI or scart with the audio amps working the list is typical of this manufacturer! And all they do is bring out a new model! Great service guys. Rubbish reliability!

Ordered. Hurricane Matthew arrived shortly after the order. Did not know how it would impact the order. Parts arrived while I was still wondering. Well Done!
It took longer than usual for my order to come. When I checked the tracking site I saw that its was in route and should have been dilivered. I drop a note to CABINET Parts and asked if it got lost. They replied back immediately that it should be delivered
Great source for hard to find hinges.
Ordered the complete replacement hinges(2) they recommended because the original hinge was no longer made. I found that I needed only the one mount that I had specified originally and they said was no longer made but they supplied with both assemblies.
Note: You can find a link to the compare item tool at the top right of the website.

MONTPELIER, VT. >> The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife says the state's turkey hunt was about average last year.
Statistics released Monday by Fish and Wildlife show that 5,874 turkeys were taken during Vermont's three hunting seasons — the spring youth hunt, the regular May spring season, and the fall hunt.
Turkey Project Leader Amy Alfieri says turkey reproduction was above average in 2015, but severe winters and wet springs over the past couple years may have contributed to a lower-than-average harvest this fall.
Biologists estimate Vermont's wild turkey population is between 45,000 to 60,000 birds.

Posted on 01/28/2009 3:14:28 AM PST by Sub-Driver
Food Stamps Will Stimulate the Economy More than Tax Cuts, Pelosi Says Wednesday, January 28, 2009 By Ryan Byrnes
(CNSNews.com) Food stamps and unemployment insurance will provide more economic stimulus than tax cuts, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday during a telephone press conference.
(F)ood stamps and unemployment insurance, which affect the people in the states, are necessary at this time when funds are short and the economy is down, (and) actually have the most stimulative effect on the economy, Pelosi said. Food stamps first, unemployment insurance next, infrastructure after that, and it goes on from there.
During the press conference, Pelosi laid out the contents of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which is expected to be passed in the House Wednesday. employment insurance have the most stimulative effect on the economy, and as a result are given the greatest priority in the stimulus package.
Actually, those investments bring a bigger return than the tax cuts, she said, adding: but tax cuts where we have them to the middle class we think will give us our biggest return.
The 20-minute news conference also included Govs. Edward Rendell (D-Pa.) and Jim Douglas (R-Vt.).
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will devote $20 billion to provide nutrition assistance to modest-income families and to lift restrictions that limit the amount of time individuals can receive food stamps, according to a summary of the plan released last week by the House Appropriations Committee.

unfreakin believable..words fail me
imagine a box of rocks ...
The Left can't be that stupid....they are accomplishing exactly what they intended: A stupid and dependent electorate..
However - they overlooked the consequence of DESTROYING THE ECONOMY AND REPUBLIC..
It appears that soon - the "French Solution" to our political "aristocracy" will have to be applied.
Using her "logic", armed robbery will stimulate some personal economies even quicker.
will the lame scream media pick this up and ridicule her for this? Probably not. I think a Republican needs to parrot these words to expose the hypocrisy of the media.
Ah, so, according to Pelosi, food stamps, condoms, the sponge and "the pill" will stimulate our economy.
LOL- What?
None of these people have any idea what they're doing. It's like being governed by teenagers. Lots of power, no mature intellect or reason directing it. Just whatever impulse strikes them from one moment to the next.
Miz Pelosi really doesn't know how "things" work. She really doesn't at all grok economics. No wait.. someone's gotta be feeding her these stupid ideas.. Aha. Oh Hillary....
Is this a good time to start the "Atlas Shrugged" plan?
These weenie dictators we now have in office only have power if they have money.
Stopping our money from going into their pockets will put their communist shenanigans to a halt.
I am downsizing my life. If my family brings in less in income, less money will need to be given to the dictators.
Money and power are the only things they care about. If we take away one, they will lose the other.
and make a whole new class of idiots that depend on the government for their very existence (if you can call living off the government existence).
This carbon unit is a traitor, no bones about it.
With Food Stamps and Unemployment payouts expanding on many orders of magnitude over the past, it will BEHOLDEN a majority of Americans to the liberals.
This plan will purchase votes to keep the libs in power for the foreseeable future.
And look at her statement "...but tax cuts where we have them to the middle class we think will give us our biggest return.
Notice the "us", statement? The "us" statement is the libs, and their "return" will be votes that will again keep them in power forever.
Does this woman have a brain?
river rat wrote "However - they overlooked the consequence of DESTROYING THE ECONOMY AND REPUBLIC.."
No, they aren't overlooking it, they don't care. They will get theirs, even in the USSR the rulers were rich. And a poorer, more dependent electorate is more controllable, less mobile, less threatening to government.
Good Nancy. Thank you for reminding us that this past election was about how much free stuff everyone would get if they voted for Democrats.
At first I thought this was satire...then I realized it wasn't.
Is this woman for real!?
Come on, Nancy girl -- finish the thought: "People in the states of stuporous brain-dead subsistence and permanent government dependency," a.k.a. your core constituency.
This is utterly idiotic for several reasons:
Not so long ago, everybody knew this. What happened?
"Using her logic, armed robbery will stimulate some personal economies even quicker."
LOL. This woman just needs to come out everyday and pontificate. She is proving our point that democrats are morons!!
Taking from the producers - giving to the non-producers!
Welcome to Socialism!!!
We have gone Galt in our family too. Not sure how it will work though, when the 'giants' of industry all are lining up in DC for bail-outs, instead of taking a stand for capitalism. Very sad.
Infrastructure is code word for heavily unionized, no-show jobs ridden, wildly over budget, make work projects.
No thanks Nancy
Moron. Yes you dummie, food stamps will stimulate the economy by offering business more money to give jobs. Oh, maybe I have that backward.
Typical trickle UP economics. Which defies the laws of physics even in thought.
"Let them eat cake", proclaims our modern-day Marie-Antoinette.
Pitchforks. Torches.
Folks, this situation is about to explode.
I'm stunned.
Actually, they have not gone nuts. What they are doing is calculated, intentional, and well thought-out. The world is now run by a loose superclass of political and bureaucratic elites who have never worked an honest day in their lives.
It's the modern-day equivalent of medieval royalty, and what they are doing now is a brilliant capitalization on an intentionally-manufactured economic downtown to cement their power by making us, their peasants, ever more dependent on the crumbs they throw to to us.
Soma in Aldous Huxley's
Brave New World
"..there is always soma, delicious soma, half a gramme for a half-holiday, a gramme for a week-end, two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous East, three for a dark eternity on the moon..."
Yeah, all those welfare leeches will infuse the economy with all those tax dollars. How does someone this stupid and ignorant about basic economics get into the position she now holds?! Unbelievable!
wow, this is a joke, right?
Obamanation full steam ahead...
I'm not sure, but I think I'm going to steal that...
The Female Joe Biden-but without the punchline!
Please, let's stop calling it a stimulus bill.
To use a FReeper's quote from the other day..........
"Dumber than a box of hair."
If this is true, why don´t we just put the whole country on welfare?
A true liberal never misses an opportunity to expand the grip of government and reduce the scope of private enterprise.
These folks are absolutely deranged.
Sic Semper Tyrannis
The problem with that is, she and many others (think Harry Reid) have been "proving" that over and over for the last 8 years. The more they "prove" how idiotic they are, the more power they're amassing.
First the government mismanagement creates an equities bubble, then a housing bubble, and now a condom bubble! The fallout from that could be ugly.
Folks, we have to stop kidding ourselves and making the excuse that these people are doing what they are doing because they are stupid.
They are not stupid. What they are doing is an intentional, well-considered agenda to cement their power for the foreseeable future.
And it's working magnificently.
The peasants who vote for these charlatans are dumber than a box of hair, but the politicians most certainly are not.
Well...the dems have spent 30 years dumbing down the populace...I guess it is finally paying off.
Pelosi is a danger to herself and others.
Every day, more nuggets of "wisdom" from the Left. Isolate and narrow the number of actual taxpayers into an small and insignificant part of the electorate and pander to the rest. A socialist's dream. William Z. Foster and Gus Hall must be smiling now.
Is it any wonder people are asking for big daddy government to save them?
Commies have destroyed our self reliance and our work ethic.

I own stock in LVS and started looking at AERL. Does every gamer have to use a company like AERL?
I would like to know if this is only for the high rollers. It seems like LVS long plan is to welcome the regular people in to buy food and tshirts also. I am trying to get a feel for this stock as a retail investor.
IMO, I would suggest you not buy! Stick with the real concession holders....MPEL, LVS or WYNN.
You do a disservice to yourself by not understanding the VIP/junket part of the biz in Macau. Do some DD on your own and if you still have questions I know the board can bring you up to speed.
I got it now. I looked at the charts and AERL has trended down since it became active. The number of vip prospects increases every day in China and the stock still trends down. LVS is going to be the play. Invite the masses.

Bone loss is a natural result of aging. Unfortunately, the effects of bone loss are usually not noticeable until it is too late. Therefore, you will want to focus on prevention rather than cure when handling osteoporosis. Exercise is an essential aspect of prevention, as well as consuming enough calcium and vitamin D.
Vitamin D And Calcium
An essential aspect of avoiding osteoporosis is by consuming vitamin D and calcium regularly. While there are supplements that will help you meet your dietary requirements, it is best to get the recommended amount of calcium and vitamin D from your diet. However, calcium and vitamin D will not be enough. You will also need to lead an active lifestyle to keep your bones and muscles strong.
The Role Of Exercise
Exercise is essential for strengthening the muscles and bones because both parts of the body respond to stress by becoming stronger. Strong muscles are essential to preventing broken bones because they provide support for bones, making it less likely that they will fracture when they have weakened.
Being in better shape also reduces the risk that you will fall. By being stronger and more agile, you will be less likely to suffer the falls that could lead to broken bones. With osteoporosis, when fragile bones break, they will take much longer to heal.
Weight-Bearing Exercises
You should get a minimum of 30 minutes of regular exercise a day to strengthen your bones. This requires weight-bearing exercises such as walking and running. Weight-bearing activities force your body to resist gravity. Regular strength training is also essential, because strength training causes the muscles to pull on the bone, which strengthens the bones. If you are not sure about the degree to which you should exercise, it is recommended that you sign up for a gym membership that offers aerobic classes. Being guided through exercises in a group setting can make it easier to develop a sense of what an adequate 30-minute workout is. Tai chi and yoga classes are especially recommended because they will allow you to exercise, but are not too strenuous and will give you time to get back into shape.
Unfortunately, lost bone cannot be replaced. Therefore, for the effects of osteoporosis, the goal is with prevention, rather than cure. One of the most important professionals to help you prevent osteoporosis is an orthopedist. Orthopedists are trained to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal disorders using surgical and non-surgical techniques. Contact a company like Gotham City Orthopedics to learn more.Learn More
As medical technology increases lifespans, it is important to also extend quality of life. Most seniors want – above all else – to stay in their homes. A few simple geriatric exercises, and important rehabilitation after any falls, injuries, or sicknesses, can make independence last for the longest time possible.
Exercises to Extend Health
As you age, your vision, balance, and dexterity decrease, leading to risk of falls or other injuries. Stretches, strength training, and aerobic exercises can help aging bodies to retain their quality. Balance exercises are especially important.
At home, seniors can practice stepping over soft items like pillows or stuffed animals to keep their footwork and balance up to par. Encourage your aging parent to walk as much as possible, even if they are just able to hold onto the counter or a walker for balance. Until balance comes back, practice standing on one foot or shifting your weight back and forth from foot to foot can help, too. Walking heel to toe, or on a straight line, like a piece of masking tape laid out on the floor, can also assist in redeveloping balance and coordination.
For more advanced balance training, core exercises can help with control and muscle groups that will help seniors stay on their feet. Sports like tennis, bowling, or tai chi can keep seniors light on their feet. Cycling helps with balance and coordination, but should only be undertaken by the most fit seniors, and always with the proper equipment.
Rehab After Falls or Injuries
Rehab after falls or injuries is important because it prevents one injury leading to another. Recurrent falls are a major danger for seniors. 70% of accidental deaths of people over the age of 75 are from falls. Most post-fall exercises are similar to fall-prevention exercises, but they should be performed under the supervision of a physical therapist or occupational therapist.
Walking is the best exercise for improving endurance and strength. Posture exercises can assist with keeping bones and joints in alignment, which helps with reducing injury, as well.
Rehab After Sicknesses
Sometimes, everyone forgets that rehabilitation is crucial post-illness, just like after an injury. When a serious sickness, like pneumonia, puts a senior down, atrophy can take its toll the same way as it affects one after a fall. Getting back up to speed and strength requires hard work and a plan. Physical therapists, like those at Hand & Orthopedic Rehabilitation Specialists, are trained to design programs to help people regain their independence after a setback.Learn More
If you watch professional sports, then you have probably heard the phrase "torn ACL" before. However, it isn't often explained what a torn ACL entails. Is there surgery involved? Therapy? A torn ACL is an incredibly common injury that affects many more than professional athletes, so it is important to understand what they are, even if you aren't in the NFL.
What is the ACL?
The anterior cruciate ligament (more commonly known as the ACL), is a ligament in the knee. Rigorous physical activity can result in a torn ACL, which is both incredibly painful and immobilizing. If the average person tears an ACL, then they might have to undergo therapy in order to heal it. However if an athlete tears an ACL, then they are likely to undergo serious surgery in order to repair the damage. This is because they cannot afford to wait for it to heal naturally with only some light therapy. In order to perform out on the field, athletes need to get their ACLs healthy as fast as possible.
How do you tear your ACL?
If you "hyperextend" your knee, then there is a good chance that you will tear your ACL. Hyperextension is what happens when the angle between two specific body parts becomes too large. The human knee has a natural bend limit and is not meant to extend past a certain point. If that does happen during physical exertion, then you can tear important ligaments inside your leg, resulting in a torn ACL or PCL. Some specific actions that tear ACLs are: landing hard on one foot or a knee rotating incorrectly while landing.
PCL injuries are not as common as ACL injuries, but they are very similar. The two make up a pair of important ligaments in the leg, and damage to either can make motion of the knee incredibly painful or even impossible.
How do you fix a torn ACL?
As was mentioned earlier, therapy and surgery are both valid solutions for a torn ACL. If the situation is severe, then surgery might be required regardless of whether you are an athlete or not. Therapy can take many months to complete, and the aid of a specialized orthopedic surgeon might be required.
What is orthopedics?
Although it is commonly discussed as "sports medicine," orthopedics is the general field of surgery relating to the musculoskeletal system, which is responsible for moving the human body. The connection to sports stems from the fact that athletes commonly suffer from muscular or skeletal injuries due to their high levels of physical activity. Additionally, their high visibility in the media means that any injuries they suffer are widely publicized.

To date, dental implants were contraindicated for people who did not have well-controlled diabetes. The conventional wisdom was that uncontrolled diabetes led to higher rates of implant failure because of the slow healing times and increased risk of infection associated with the condition. However, a newer study has found dental implants are as likely to be successful in people with uncontrolled diabetes as those with well-managed blood sugar levels. Here's more information about this development.
A New Study Involving Long-Term Outcomes
A study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association followed 117 patients who all had about 2 implants each installed. The patients were placed in three categories based on their A1C levels, with 20 of them listed as having poorly controlled diabetes (A1C levels over 8.1 percent). The doctors assessed the patients after a healing period that lasted four months and then at regular intervals in the year following the procedure.
At the end of the year, the doctors found there was no significant difference in the survival rate for implants in patients with controlled diabetes versus those with uncontrolled. These results could mean that people who were previously turned away by dentists for implants because of concerns regarding unregulated blood sugar levels may now be eligible for the procedure.
Why Controlling Diabetes is Still a Good Idea
Making an effort to get blood sugar levels under control prior to undergoing surgery for dental implants is still a good idea though. One reason is that healing times continue to be significantly increased in people with uncontrolled diabetes. The study found that it took an average of 7.3 months for the implant post to integrate with the bone in people with uncontrolled diabetes versus about 4 months for those in the other two groups (no diabetes and well-controlled).
While longer healing times didn't appear to affect the implant's survival rate, it can have a negative impact on other areas of your life. For instance, people with dental implants typically have to follow a restricted diet for a period of time while the implant post integrates with the bone. The longer a person has to follow this diet, the higher the risk the individual may not get all the vitamins and minerals needed to stay healthy. A restricted diet may also make it difficult to keep blood sugar at a healthy level.
Another issue is that people with uncontrolled diabetes are 3 to 4 times more likely to have gingivitis and periodontal disease, which other studies have shown can cause dental implants to fail after several years.
Still, dental implants can be extremely beneficial for diabetics, especially if the lack of teeth is interfering with their ability to manage the condition. If you have uncontrolled diabetes, speak to a dental implant specialist about whether or not this procedure is right for you.Learn More

Escape On Venus
With his beloved princess, Duare, at his side, Carson Napier has once again managed to escape the scheming webs of Amtor's fearsome powers - only to fall prey to a hideous race of humanoid amphibians, ruled by the dread king Tyros the Bloody.
But Carson is far more than a fugitive and a captive: he is the only Earthman to have penetrated the forbidding clouds surrounding Venus, there to become a pirate, an explorer, and finally a prince of her cities. His determination to survive the horrors of the savage world that fate has cast him onto, and to bring his lovely bride home to her people in safety, take them both through some of the most thrilling and courageous adventures ever penned by the Master of Adventure.

New System Promises Versatile Concussion Testing
Associated Press - September 18, 2013 6:23 pm
A Kansas agency and a University of Kansas center for mental health research are cutting ties.
The University of Kansas is giving a test drive to a new system that its creators believe offers a better way to assess head injuries in student-athletes.
The system is called C3 Logix, and has been under development the past two years by Cleveland Clinic's Innovation Group. The system uses an iPad2 as the assessment tool and incorporates more standard neurocognitive exams with balance and vision tests.
The result is what Cleveland Clinic's Jay Alberts believes is a more comprehensive way to determine whether someone has a concussion.
Kansas isn't alone in trying it out. Several schools and a handful of prominent hospitals, including Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, are also giving it a try.

text: Hello All! This might be simple for some but I've never done this before so I would love some suggestions from any one of you. I'm trying to do a simple delete checked records using ASP and an odbc datasource. You know, when you go to a site and you see check boxes next to each entry and a button at the bottom that says "Delete all checked entries". Simply put, I'd like to find out how to code that delete all checked entries feature into my asp scripts. Right now I'm just deleting each individually where ID = (blah). But I'd like to delete more than one at a time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Get ready for a Halloween treat, Peanuts fans.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," Utah-based The MAiZE Inc. has designed "Peanuts"-themed corn mazes at more than 90 farms across the country, the Washington Post reported last month.
>> Read more trending stories
According to the Post, "several of the mazes will feature political slogans, such as 'Snoopy for Prez'" in honor of the upcoming presidential election.
Guests also will get a chance to watch the iconic "Great Pumpkin" special, first broadcast in 1966, at the farms. (And if you can't make it to one of the farms, don't fret: The special airs at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday on ABC.)
Macy's will open its doors at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, one hour earlier than last year.
Macy's announced the news Monday after BestBlackFriday.com confirmed the 5 p.m. opening with five different Macy's locations across the country. Most stores will close at 2 a.m. Friday, then reopen at 6 a.m. Friday, the AP reported.
"In 2015 and 2014, they opened at 6 p.m., so this is one hour earlier than last year," said Eric Jones of BestBlackFriday.com. "Whether other major retailers decide to move up their opening time on Thanksgiving remains to be seen, but Macy's is the first one to make their decision."
Last year, Walmart, Target and Kohl's all opened at 6 p.m., according to BestBlackFriday.com. Toys R Us and Best Buy opened at 5 p.m., the website reports.

A nonprofit organization started by an Oregon-based family seeks to put a smile on the face of every child in a wheelchair.
Ryan and Lana Weimer, the founders of Magic Wheelchair, have five children, three of whom were born with spinal muscular atrophy, which requires the use of wheelchairs their whole lives.
>> Read more trending stories
Ryan Weimer wrote on the nonprofit's website that he and his son were talking years ago about Halloween costumes. His son said he wanted to be pirate.
"During a magical thinking moment I realized, 'Keaton has this wheelchair he cruises around in, and every pirate needs a ship, so let's just build one around his chair,'" Weimer wrote.
Since then, Weimer has made the biggest, "baddest" costumes possible for his sons, Keaton and Bryce.
"When you know that you have few memories to make with your kids, you want to make priceless ones," Weimer told NBC News.
Once news of the costumes spread, Ryan began receiving requests from parents around the world asking if he would transform their children's wheelchairs into "magic."
The Weimer family project became a hugely successful nonprofit, called Magic Wheelchair. The group has made costumes in which wheelchairs have been transformed into a Mario Kart, a SpongeBob boat, a "Frozen" ice castle and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles van.
"Giving families and kids those experiences that we've been able to have year after year, it's awesome. I love it," Weimer told BuzzFeed News last year. "My kids are seen as superstars and not looked at with sympathetic eyes or sadness."
Teams of volunteers in communities nationwide help build the incredible costumes and create unforgettable moments for children during Halloween. It takes hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to make children's dreams come true through the project.
"When we have challenges and trials and hard times, those are the things that define us," Weimer told NBC. "It doesn't matter your circumstances, you can still make beautiful things ... and it's great to see other people get behind that."
Magic Wheelchair made eight costumes for children last year, two in Georgia and six in Oregon.
Weimer said he doesn't want Magic Wheelchair to make the costumes for Halloween only. He told ABC News that the group wants children to "roll in (the decorated wheelchairs) all year round" and to even "go shopping with Mom in a dragon."
"It's not a cure," Weimer, who has also worked as a nurse, told Buzzfeed. "I wish I was smart enough to come up with something like that. It's a cure for a day. It helps them forget. It helps other people see them as kids, and not just a kid in a wheelchair."

For the first time in nearly 70 years, visitors can sleep in Dracula's castle.
Bran Castle will play host to two people who are lucky enough to be chosen to spend the night there on Halloween night.
The contest is part of a promotion by Airbnb.
The pair will have dinner and wine before retiring to their red velvet-trimmed coffins, according to the Associated Press.
But if coffins are too much, the guests will be able to sleep in beds.

The contest to find two brave souls to spend the night in the creepy Romanian castle started Monday.
Applicants were asked to imagine what they would say to Count Dracula if they met the vampire of legend.
The chosen will be flown to Romania and taken to the castle in the Carpathian Mountains.
Bran Castle hosts more than 630,000 visitors a year.
The event will be hosted by a descendant of writer Bram Stoker, Dacre Stoker, who will portray Jonathan Harker, the character in the elder Stoker's novel who encounters Dracula in the novel.
The contemporary Stoker will welcome his guests with the same words Dracula uses,"Welcome to my house! Enter freely. Go safely, and leave something of happiness you bring," the AP reported.
There are rules for the winning pair. There can be no garlic or silver jewelry with the notation that "The count is not a fan of mirror selfies." Also, no crosses are allowed and all curtains need to be closed before sunrise, according to the contest rules.
Vlad the Impaler, the Romanian king used by Stoker as the inspiration for Count Dracula, did not own Bran Castle, but it is believed to have been used by him during his battles in Transylvania. It is also tradition that he was imprisoned in the castle for two months in 1462 when he was captured by a Hungarian king.
Vlad Tepes impaled his victims as punishment.

Deadline to enter is Oct. 26 at 11:59 p.m. CET.
Last year, Airbnb hosted a similar contest, to spend the night in the catacombs of Paris.
With Halloween approaching, many people are bringing out their holiday and fall decorations.
One favorite decoration are pumpkins, often carved with frightening and creative designs. And among those are Trumpkins, pumpkins carved in the likeness of Donald Trump, which have returned after becoming a trend last year.
Less than three weeks before Halloween and less than one month before the presidential election, Trumpkins of all shapes and sizes are popping up at American households everywhere.

With Halloween just around the corner, lots of children will be traveling from door to door in search of yummy treats. And we want them to have fun and be safe! So, AT&T offers these top tech safety tips:
1. Be prepared: Make sure your child's cellphone is fully charged. And make sure it's not on mute!
>> Read more trending stories
2. Create lines of communication: Save ICE (In case of emergency) numbers into your child's speed dial on the cell phone, such as your number, a neighbor and/or a grandparent. And make sure your child knows how to dial 911 and provide important information such as their location and landmarks.
3. Stay connected: Set periodic alarms on your child's cellphone to remind trick-or-treaters to check in at home.
4. Set up a wireless route: Create a 'trick-or-treat' patrol in your neighborhood by having parents stationed along the trick-or-treat route and have them text each other as kids reach certain points.
5. Use apps for safety: Apps such as RedPanicButton and AT&T's FamilyMap provide ways to quickly locate your child in case of an emergency.
The stores are full of candy and the pumpkins are fat and orange – it's Halloween season! Here are 10 tips to help you and your trick-or-treater reach maximum candy intake.
Keep costumes safe
To quote Edna Mole in The Incredibles, "No capes!" Capes, sashes and other low-swinging, easily untied costume pieces can increase the chance of tripping and falling. Costumes and accessories should be flame-resistant and kept away from candles.
Makeup over masks
While many of the comic-book superheroes wear masks, take a cue from their cinematic counterparts and go for makeup instead. Masks can make it hard to see. Choose FDA-approved makeup and test it on a small area first to avoid serious reactions. Make sure to take it off before going to bed.
The priority is the accessory
While your trick-or-treater will do their best to bring home a double-fisted haul of treats, it's much safer to have one hand free for protection and balance. If they have an accessory that's an important part of the costume, make sure it's easy to carry and doesn't have any sharp points.
Don't keep the ingredients to yourself
If you're the parent at home handing out homemade treats, make sure you tell visitors what is in them. An allergic reaction and trip to the hospital is definitely not how a parent wants to end Halloween night.
Individually wrap your candy and include a note with your name and address. In the event that the candy ends up being contaminated, your candy can be easily separated from the others.
Check out your haul before digging in
To be on the safe side, make sure your trick-or-treaters eat only factory-wrapped treats, and only after you've checked them for tampering. Throw away unwrapped treats and homemade treats made by people you don't know.
Drive carefully
Trick-or-treaters can range all over streets and roads in their search for the elusive candy trove. If you're driving in a trick-or-treating area, reduce speed and watch for rampaging hordes of candy seekers.
Walk carefully
To help out those driving around during trick-or-treating time, put reflective tape on costumes, bags, strollers, wagons, wings, landspeeders, rocket boots and any other form of pedestrian-fueled transportation you might be using. Carry a flashlight to increase visibility and reduce the risk of tripping over curbs.
Don't go it alone
While it might be tempting for a trick-or-treater to hoard all that candy for themselves – in their Gordon Gekko costume – young candy-hunters need adult supervision. Older kids can go out in groups in well-lit, known areas, but they should check in regularly and never go door-to-door by themselves. Make sure children know your cellphone number, their home telephone number and address in case you get separated.
Lights on
While a spooky, dark house might be the best fit for a Halloween theme on the block, chances are if there are people in there, they just want to be left alone. Make sure you only knock on doors of houses with lights on, and don't let children enter a home unless you are with them.
Don't feed treats to the pets
All forms of chocolate — especially baking or dark chocolate — can be dangerous, even lethal, for dogs and cats. Symptoms of chocolate poisoning can include vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, increased heart rat, and seizures. Halloween candies containing the artificial sweetener xylitol can also be poisonous to dogs. Even small amounts of xylitol can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar, a subsequent loss of coordination and seizures.
If you were a fan of the Disney Channel original movie "Halloweentown" and were disappointed that you couldn't join Marnie and Aggie there in real life, be disappointed no more.
