Objective: To evaluate joint task force criteria-based screening for severe obstructive sleep apnea (s-OSA) in commercial drivers.
Methods: Among a community-based cohort of licensed commercial vehicle drivers, we assessed utility of the joint task force criteria. We conducted full, 14-channel overnight polysomnography in all drivers, defining s-OSA as an apnea–hypopnea index of 30 or more per hour.
Results: One hundred of 104 drivers with successful polysomnography studies were predominantly obese (median body mass index = 32.8 kg/m2; interquartile range = 26.8 to 37.4) and had a median apnea—hypopnea index of 20.6 per hour (interquartile range = 10.0 to 34.2). Examination-based criteria were more effective (sensitivity = 80%; negative posttest probability [nPTP] = 17%) than symptom-based criteria (sensitivity = 63%; nPTP = 23%). Examination and symptom-based criteria combined had high sensitivity (97%) and low nPTP (7%), but poor specificity (19%).
Conclusions: Examination-based criteria missed 20% of s-OSA cases. Combining examination with confidentially reported symptoms improved sensitivity but required confirmatory polysomnography in 86%, supporting universal screening of all drivers.

Addressing mental health issues
Contributions from the Otto Bremer Foundation help lead campaign
"Almost everyone has firsthand knowledge of a friend or family member who has dealt with a mental health issue," said Charlotte Johnson, a trustee of the Otto Bremer Foundation. "Mental health issues have an impact on all our lives on both personal and community levels."
The Otto Bremer Foundation was one of the largest contributors to our Campaign to Transform Mental Health Care. Contributions helped fund a new mental health building on the Regions campus along with innovative new programming and Make It OK, a campaign to fight the stigma associated with mental illness. By the end of 2013, Regions Hospital Foundation had raised $6.3 million as part of this effort.
"The work Regions Hospital has undertaken on addressing mental health issues is multifaceted, from building quality facilities to reaching a broad public audience on achieving a better understanding of the issues and available support," Johnson said. "In all its work, Regions Hospital has been thoughtful in engaging those who have been impacted with mental health issues. It has then aligned this input with the most current research on how to provide respectful, effective services that are designed for long term results."
The Otto Bremer Foundation's role in the mental health campaign began in 2012, when its contribution launched the InReach program. InReach provides aggressive, short-term case management services to uninsured and underinsured patients with mental illness who have been frequent users of emergency room or inpatient mental health care. The program helps participants organize ongoing care and social services so they can stabilize their lives. "InReach is a big step in assuring that individuals are provided with a path to long term support as well as reducing the number of future emergency situations," Johnson said.
The Otto Bremer Foundation followed up this gift with a major contribution to the Make It OK anti-stigma campaign. As part of Make It OK, Regions has combined a robust marketing and media campaign with outreach efforts by partnering with the National Alliance on Mental Illness Minnesota, Twin Cities Public Television, local community organizations and the advertising firm Preston Kelly. "This particular campaign is focused on creating an environment in which the public feels more comfortable talking about mental health issues," Johnson said. "In this way, people will reach out and support friends or family members in open ways that recognize mental health issues for what they are—health issues, not character flaws.
"Historically mental health issues have not been fully understood and have often been overlooked or stigmatized. Increasing knowledge about the scope of mental health issues and effective treatment methods provides opportunities for the Otto Bremer Foundation to support programs and organizations that can make a real positive difference in people's lives."

Background: An effective enterovirus 71 (EV71) vaccine is needed to control the annual outbreaks of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in China. Adequate epidemiologic data relating to HFMD are needed to make decisions about appropriate public health interventions and implementation of the new EV71 vaccine.
Methods: We analyzed the population-based epidemiologic characteristics, clinical outcome and laboratory investigation of the 2011 HFMD outbreak in children based on the citywide surveillance system in Shanghai.
Results: The incidence rate of HFMD was 25.8 per 1000 in children <10 years of age in Shanghai in 2011, ranging from 2.5 per 1000 in the age group 7 to 9.9 years to 48.4 per 1000 in the age group 3 to 3.9 years. Children 1 to 1.9 years were at the highest risk of developing severe complications and most susceptible to HFMD. Boys and migrant children had significantly increased risks of contracting HFMD and developing severe disease. More institutional clusters/outbreaks occurred in the winter peak months than in the summer peak months. Migrant young children played a central role in the spread of HFMD in the community. EV71 was identified in 39.7% of mild HFMD outpatients, 47.4% of hospitalized patients, 92.1% of severe inpatients with complications, 50% of outbreaks and 38.8% of clusters in institutions.
Conclusion: HFMD and EV71 infections have a significant health effect on Shanghai children.

Vandoren V16 Sax Mouthpieces
You don't have to be much of a detective to discern the meaning in Vandoren's statement that its V16 Series sax mouthpiece "captures the famous jazz saxophone sounds of the '50s and '60s." The V16 is obviously modeled after the classic Meyer of that era—what we mouthpiece geeks call the "New York" Meyer, differentiating it from later, inferior versions. Vandoren can't come right out and say it, since a competitor still manufactures mouthpieces bearing the Meyer name. But that's the implication, and it's a haughty claim. To Vandoren's credit, the V16 stands up to the comparison.
I've strayed on occasion, but for the most part, I've used the same New York Meyer 5M on alto for 35 years. In choosing it (or, to be more accurate, having it chosen for me) at the tender age of 10, I was following in the very hip footfalls of Cannonball Adderley, Lou Donaldson, Charles McPherson and Phil Woods, to name just a few illustrious Meyer devotees. Other manufacturers made great mouthpieces back then, but the sound of modern-jazz alto was (and still is) largely the sound of the New York Meyer. Over the years, other mouthpiece makers have sought to recapture the greatness of the vintage Meyers. Vandoren has gotten it right.
Vandoren's ebonite V16 alto mouthpiece is available with five tip openings: A5, A6, A7, A8 and A9 (each size corresponds roughly to its Meyer equivalent). All models are available in two chamber sizes, small or medium. The ebonite V16 tenor mouthpieces come in a single chamber size and four tip openings: T7, T8, T9 and T10. A soprano-model V16 is also available, and all V16s can be purchased in metal or hard-rubber versions. For review purposes, I focused on the A8 Medium, A8 Small and T7 models made of hard rubber.
Eyeballing a V16 alto piece side-by-side with my late-'60s vintage Meyer 5M, it's apparent that the V16 is largely the same in most respects: The shape, thickness of the rails, baffle, tips and profile are so similar as to be nearly identical. While the small chamber is round like my old Meyer, the medium chamber has an ever-so-slight "U" shape. The V16 also has a brass ring around the shank where the Meyer's etched double-line would be. Naturally, the V16 is polished to a beautiful black sheen, in stark contrast to my greenish old 5M. Sometimes I forget that mouthpieces can actually be pretty.
The V16 is similar to my Meyer in performance, as well. I'm accustomed to a smaller tip opening, so it took awhile for my embouchure to get used to the considerably more open A8. After spending time with it, however, I developed a fondness for the V16. While both the small and medium chambers were exceptionally free-blowing over the horn's entire range, I preferred the A8M overall. Of the two pieces, the medium chamber produced a fuller, harmonically richer tone with a stronger bottom, which, for me, characterizes the ideal alto sound. The small chamber gave me a smaller, drier tone. Both felt great to play.
In appearance, the V16 T7 tenor mouthpiece is the alto version on steroids. It even feels somewhat alto-like, making it a good choice for the doubler who prefers to keep a consistent embouchure when switching between horns. The T7 also gave me a tone on tenor similar to what I get on alto—dark, with a slight crystalline edge in all registers. I've never played a Meyer tenor piece I liked (admittedly, I've only played a few). I like the T7 very much, so in the case of the tenor version, the V16 has surpassed the original.
Like most saxophonists, I've spent way too much time searching for that elusive slab of hard rubber that will cure my sound of all its ills. Inevitably, I find the closest thing to a magic bullet is my Meyer 5M. It's nice to know, however, that if something happened to "Old Reliable," the V16 would be a worthy replacement.

I've always said that my favorite bands don't start really playing until the second set. Not literally, of course — but in terms of spirit, volume, passion, sweat. Phish's concert Friday at the Times Union Center started out nicely enough with a perfectly fine first set. In Set Two, everything changed. Guitarist and front man Trey Anastasio and company returned to the stage and threw themselves into a seering set with "My Friend, My Friend" ...

For all of you who had not heard of blokarting before, yes, it's a thing. In fact, it's a thing that's catching on quickly as one of the world's newest competitive hobbies. In case you haven't heard of blokarting before, it is a very much real sport by anybody's standards. It is a land-based sailing sport that allows you to "sail" with a compact land yacht, and has only increased in popularity since its invention in 1999 by New Zealander Paul "Guru" Beckett. Basically, think go-kart meets sailing boat. As a Canadian, I have to admit I had never heard mention of blokarting (although I'm sure it exists there too!) until I came to Europe, which isn't surprising considering of the 10,000 blokarts made annually, almost half are sold in Europe where chilly beaches and bracing winds are aplenty.
Anatomically, a blokart consists of wheels, a mast and sail, and weighs around 30kg. Most importantly, it is easily dismantled in just a few minutes without the need for tools, and travels in a carry-case meaning you can throw it in your car, take it with you on a train, and check it in as luggage when on a plane should you decide to purchase your own. Unlike other landyachts (apparently, there are not one but several types of land yachts - who knew??), you can actually steer your blokart as it comes with a steering wheel. This makes it easy to use in urban and suburban areas, as well as all other areas where there aren't huge expanses of nature around you - car parks, tennis courts, football pitches, and narrow beaches.
Which is exactly why blokarting has become a favourite past time of the Dutch seaside resort town of IJmuiden aan Zee. Cashing in at a respectable 55 euro per person for a full 2 hours of blokarting (including a brief tutorial), blokarting at IJmuiden is the perfect outdoorsy activity in a country short on mountains and nature reserves. It's a great way to get the adrenaline pumping in a safe an controlled environment.

In control and signal processing, adaptation is a natural tool to cope with real-time changes in the dynamical behaviour of signals and systems. In this area, strongly connected with prediction and identification, there has been an increasing interest in switching and supervising methods. Moreover in recent years, special attention has been paid to the ideas evolving round the theory of statistical learning as a potential tool of improved adaptation.
The IFAC workshop on Adaptation and Learning in Control and Signal Processing in 2001 gathered together experts in the field and interested researchers from universities and industry to present a full picture of the area. This proceedings volume presents papers covering the following subjects: Model reference and predictive control; Multiple model control; Adaptive control I/II; Adaptive control and learning; Learning; Adaptive control of nonlinear systems I/II; Supervisory control; Neural networks for control; PID design methods; Sliding mode; Adaptive filtering and estimation; Identification methods I/II.
For experts and researchers in the field of signal processing.

Cyprus To Ask for EFSF Aid Next Week: German Press
FRANKFURT (MNI) - Cyprus plans to ask for its own EFSF bailout next week, which would make it the fifth Eurozone country to seek outside aid, German business daily Handelsblatt reported Thursday, citing a diplomatic source.
The funds will be aimed at bailing out Cyprus' banking sector, the paper reported. However, a separate report in Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung said it was not yet clear whether the loan will be limited to recapitalizing Cypriot banks, or will constitute a full-blown government bailout program.
Neither paper cited the exact amount of funds Cyprus needs, though FAZ said the request was expected to be for less than E10 billion. The plans come as Spain is expected to make its own formal request for a bank bailout of up to E100 billion at a meeting of Eurozone finance ministers later Thursday.

American Showplace
The opening track of NYC-based organist Reuben Wilson's latest disc is called "Here We Go." It's an appropriate title: With the downbeat he comes out swinging hard, and from the soul jazz of "The Shuffle" through the '60s-style blues-a-go-go of "See See Rider" and the beboppin' "Wee," he doesn't let up.
Even when Wilson does relax for a few minutes, on the pastoral "Moonlight in Vermont," he and his trio (guitarist Bob DeVos and drummer Vince Ector) keep the groove slipping and sliding around seductively. And though Wilson is in charge, make no mistake, this album is about the chemistry of one happening trio. The musical round robin between the three makes for spirited exchanges throughout, especially the seamless solo handoffs on "A Good Idea" and the fizzy take on Erroll Garner's "Misty."
At 77, Wilson shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, Revisited is his fourth release in five years. Perhaps he's making up for the two decades when he was absent from the recording scene. Whatever the case, any collection of tunes from this elder statesman of jazz organ is well worth listening to.

Purpose: To investigate whether patients with primary open-angle glaucoma combined with high myopia (POAG-HM) have short-term intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations at resting conditions over 24 hours and after dynamic exercise.
Methods: Prospective Control Clinical Study. Eighty eyes of 80 high-tension Chinese POAG patients only on prostaglandin analog locally were categorized as per their degree of myopia (myopes 6 D or more, n=30 and between −0.76 and −5.99 D, n=29) or without myopia (n=21). Twenty-four-hour IOP fluctuations at resting conditions were observed in protocol 1, and IOP fluctuations after 10-minute exercise at 20% maximum Watt (Wmax) and followed by 5 minutes of exercise at 60% Wmax were observed in protocol 2.
Results: Twenty-four-hour IOP fluctuations at resting conditions were not statistically significant among groups (P=0.58). After 10 minutes of moderate (20% Wmax) exercise, patients with POAG-HM had significant IOP decrease (3.50±2.76 mm Hg) over other subjects (analysis of covariance, age, as a covariate, was controlled, P=0.02). After 5 minutes of heavy (60% Wmax) exercise, patients with POAG-HM had significantly a greater postexercise IOP decrease (7.57±3.47 mm Hg) than other groups (P=0.00).
Conclusions: High-tension POAG patients with high myopia on only pharmacological glaucoma therapy have significantly greater IOP fluctuations after moderate and heavy exercise and do not have greater 24-hour IOP fluctuations at resting conditions.

About Your Hosts
Billy FitzGerald is a native Bostonian, who migrated to Alaska in the early 1970's pursuing a long-time dream of adventures in the Alaskan Wilderness.
Ute (Menzel) FitzGerald was born in a small village in southern Germany. A devout patron of traveling, Ute had journeyed to the far corners of Europe, Africa and South America, before arriving in Alaska.
Billy and Ute FitzGerald founded their guide service in 1984. This was the culmination of ten years living and working in the Alaskan wilderness from the Brooks Range to the tip of the Alaska Peninsula and including the entire arc of the Alaska Range.
Mr. FitzGerald worked for outfitters, sport fishing lodges and commercial fishermen. He hunted, trapped and survived seven winters of dog mushing and mountain wilderness travel. It was during a three-week dog mushing adventure on the Ruth Glacier where he met and married a similar spirited soul, his wife and best friend, Ute.
Living the Alaskan dream, they built a beautiful log home in the wilderness and raised their children, Sean and Alexandra, in the same adventurous tradition that carried them to Alaska and intertwined their destinies. Besides thirty five years of wilderness adventures in Alaska, Billy and Ute have traveled and hiked in many different parts of the world, including the Black Forest of Germany, the French and Swiss Alps, the Dolomites of Italy, traversing the Andes of South America and hiking the hills of Ireland and the British Isles. Within the U.S., extended sojourns include the Appalachian Trail in New England, Yosemite National Park, Bryce Canyon and Arches National Park, Poly Poly Park on the island of Maui and several day-long adventures in the Rockies.
The village of Talkeetna has been their home and base of operations since 1977. It is the perfect launching point for all types of backcountry adventures. Every climber destined for the highest peak in North America, Denali, comes through Talkeetna. In a twenty-minute airplane ride from the Village Airstrip you can land in very remote, wild and challenging country. It is paradise for raising a family and owning a wilderness adventure company.
Experience, Dedication and Commitment to the Resource:
Billy FitzGerald is a licensed commercial pilot with over 3000 hours of flying time in the Denali National Park area including the Alaska Range and the Talkeetna Mountains.
Mr. FitzGerald has accumulated over 3000 days in the field over the past 35 years and has become a valuable resource to agencies considering development in the vicinity of Denali National Park.
Billy FitzGerald is earnestly proactive. He is a member of several boards created to provide a conduit for communication between land managers and backcountry recreational users. His participation has resulted in many positive changes and actions.
Billy has worked together with planning teams from Denali National Park, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and independent contractors while representing the community of Talkeetna.
He has achieved recognition and awards for work he has done to reduce human impacts on moose populations.
He has flown low level surveys along the proposed Alaska Natural Gas Line for companies hired to locate live eagle nests and identify critical habitat along the intended route.
He has worked with biologists capturing, collaring and monitoring sharp-tailed grouse migration patterns in central Alaska.
Mr. FitzGerald is currently working with the non-profit group Cook Inlet Keepers flying biologists out to remote locations for stream study and water quality evaluation.
Mr. FitzGerald co-founded the Talkeetna Airman's Association.
He served 18 years on the Talkeetna Community Council, Inc. board of directors.
Mr. FitzGerald currently serves as a board member and chairman of the Finance Committee for the Northern Susitna Institute in Talkeetna.

An illustration of women's underpinnings from a 1910 catalog in my collection. Note in particular the "mono-bosom" brassieres in the upper left and right corners.
2 Comments on 1910 Underpinnings from Catalog
It is quite amazing how we as a society still strive to become thin. In these photos we see the under garments used to help women stay thin. Today we still search for these same answers only now the under garments have become a bit more appealing to the eyes.

Everyone loves The Beatles and if there is still someone unmoved by the Fab Four, he or she soon will be once they get their hands on The Beatles: Rock Band video game, which is being released exactly a week from today on the easy to remember date of 9/9/09. That date also happens to be the same day that the much anticipated remastered Beatles catalog on CD arrives in Amoeba Music. Not only will gamers of all ages take to this game, especially those who are already fans of Rock Band or Guitar Hero, but most likely people who have never played a video game in their lives will start now with The Beatles: Rock Band.
The game comes complete with 45 instantly recognizable Beatles songs, including "Get Back," "Day Tripper," "I Want To Hold Your Hand," and "Back in the USSR." The game's scenes and settings include playing in the Cavern Club and at Shea Stadium! This game will convert young kids to the music of the Beatles and older Beatles fans to the world of gaming; overall, even further broadening the fanbase of the Fab Four.

Wed. on Lynn Camp
9/18/08 Lynn Camp
Today was pretty much the same as Mon. and Tue. except for a few minor differences. The first and the largest difference was the fact that Steve Moore and Matt Kulp in their attempt to be finished on Thur. (Which Steve M. Said would Happen) worked me like a borrowed mule. as Gerry said on Mon "I worked my BUTT off". We were able to move all of the treatment stations and set them up for the final treatment starting early Thur. morning. We had a few less people helping, but everone jumped in and got the job finished by 5:30pm.
Josh & Adam from GSMNP along with Doug from NC west Fisheries and I started the day by hiking (bush wacking) up Marks Creek carring live rainbows and cages to set-up. That was a pretty much a butt kicking hike.
Alan Monsarrat also a member of this forum started out by collecting more stations and cages from higher up Lynn Camp to be put on Marks.
After lunch I rejoined Alan M, Steve Moore and Collen from Oragon, to go and collect 7 more stations from up Lynn Camp. After collecting these 7 and seeing that our bear friend had destroyed one station to the point of not being able to reuse it, Alan M. and I joined John Hammond and one other gentleman from TWRA to hike back up Marks creek to set-up 4 more stations.
This may not seem like a lot of work being done, but you have to remember there were other people working in other areas that I cannot report on. However I do know this at 5:30 when most of us came back together, there were a lot of tired, dirty people walking out.
In other news todays efforts was capture on video by WBIR, Heartland Show. Bill Landry arrived at 7:45am with crew and it will be shown in about 6 weeks. I hope you all get to see it.
I wasn't able to take any pics today, as I have said everyone work their butts off and trying to get everthing finished for Thur. was the upmost important for everyone.
I want to, on behalf of everyone that volunteered this week, thank Steve M. and Matt K. for the invite I believe we all learned something, had fun, meet great (like-minded) people from all over the US, and worked on a great project that will give us great fishing for native Brookies in the near future. On that note Lynn Camp will reopen in 5-7 years and as Matt and Steve both stated it will be one of the best, if not the best Wild Brook stream in the park. That is when all of their efforts will be truly rewarded.
Now on a personal note: I was able to see my first GSMNP bear driving in and then another one leaving, both small (120lbs or so). And I have meet my new hero, Mr. Steve Moore, he has dedicated 27yrs to our beloved park and I have found that noone other then the creator himself knows more about the fisheries therein. My hat goes off to his dedication, and service, but more importantly his love for those waterways and the creatures that inhabit them.
It is awsome to get a first hand, behind the scenes look at the hard work and effort that goes into keeping what we have great and making it better for us and our kids.
Yours humbled;

If I can just amplify a bit.... (I'll try and keep the character count down)
That trail up Mark's Creek is pretty much just a primitive trail. Take the Lynn Camp trail and cut it down to about 1 1/2' - 2' in width, then lower the canopy down to about 6' and bring the undergrowth in on all sides to about 3' wide. You don't have to do any bushwhacking but you do have to work your way around, over and through fallen trees, etc. -- all the while carrying 5 gallon buckets loaded with equipment and/or wearing backpack frames outfitted with 5 gallon holding/transport tanks. On Monday, we just hiked up carrying in the station equipment in the 5 gallon buckets. I can't imagine what a pain it was to haul in rainbows on those backpacks!!
On a side note... Steve, if you got up near #17 on Mark's then you got a pretty good idea of what Beech Flats looks like. There's a stretch about a quarter mile below #16 that looks exactly like Beech Flats.
Glad to hear that WBIR-TV showed up to do a Heartland Series episode! I regretted that I was unable to get any pictures -- there just wasn't any time. Maybe now folks will be able to see just how complex and professional this effort is.
Wouldn't it be nice if Byron could get them to share some of their photography so he could post it here for all the message board members to see?

Thanks you Guys for your service and hard work for our sport and environment.
Also thank you for the GREAT report...you guys made me hurt with you.
I appreciate you.
Indian Flats Prong
Thanks to all that are contributing to the cause.
Question: Just what portion of the streams are still closed? I got the impression from some it includes Lynn Camp Prong above its falls and all of its feeders, but the the GSMP web site limits closings to Indian Flats Prong at the Middle Prong Trial crossing and its tributaries upstream.

Lynn Camp Prong is closed from the confluence with Thunderhead Prong and everything upstream. There is a chain with a sign strung across the stream. If you are fishing up from the Middle Prong it is easy to see.....if you are just walking up the trail you have to look off the bridge to the left to see it.
Thunderhead Prong and Sams Creek are both totally open to fishing.
Daniel --
Has there been any official statement as to why the gorge itself is closed? The final neutralizing station was set up at the base of the cascades to prevent any spill or seepage into the gorge. The stretch from the confluence to the cascades is short but awesome and I can't see where anyone could fish their way up the face of the cascades so there shouldn't be any real threat of contamination or species transference.
Was it just convenience thing?
I know it's just 3/4 of a mile in a park of over, what (?), 700 miles of streams... still it was my favorite spot -- in spite of the fact that my rotator cuff will probably never be the same again...

ST. JOHNS � Prosecutors in Apache County have agreed not to use statements a 9-year-old St. Johns boy made to police as they pursue murder charges against him.
Defense lawyers had asked a judge to throw out a 1-hour videotaped police interview in which the boy admitted to firing at least two shots each at his father and another man, arguing that the boy was illegally questioned without an attorney or family member present.
In court documents released on Tuesday, prosecutors agreed not to use the statements unless the boy takes the stand in his own defense and contradicts them. Prosecutors said their decision doesn't mean they agree the statements were illegally obtained.
The boy is facing two counts of premeditated murder in the Nov. 5 deaths of his 29-year-old father and 39-year-old Timothy Romans at the family home in the eastern Arizona town of St. Johns. Police say he used a .22-caliber rifle to shoot the men as they returned home from work.
The boy, who turned 9 last month, told police that he had been spanked five times the night before the shootings because he didn't bring home some papers from school. While in custody, he told a state Child Protective Services worker that his 1,000th spanking would be his last, according to police reports. Prosecutors say the child was not prompted to make the statement and agreed with defense attorneys that anything said to the CPS worker should be suppressed as well.
Along with the police interview, defense lawyers also want the judge to throw out any evidence gathered from the crime scene, including a weapon, spent cartridges, blood samples, photographs and forensic material. The attorneys claim the search warrant is invalid because the magistrate who signed it was a friend of the boy's family.
Prosecutors said merely knowing the victim does not alter the neutrality of the judge. If the court finds the magistrate did not act impartially, prosecutors said the evidence should still be allowed at trial because law enforcement acted properly in obtaining it.
Apache County Superior Court Judge Michael Roca has not ruled on either defense motion.
The boy, who is not being identified because of his age, was in court Tuesday for a status conference. Dressed in blue sweat pants and a matching sweat shirt, he frequently turned to family members and smiled. He was brought in cuffed at the legs, and his hair was partially blond, a change since his last appearance in court in November.
His mother, who has been attending the hearings, was out of state Tuesday and listened to the hearing by phone.
The boy's attorney, Benjamin Brewer, appeared frustrated with Roca's concerns about an amended request for the boy to have a therapist. Roca has twice rejected defense requests for a therapist, saying he was worried about several aspects of the proposed arrangement, particularly one that would keep the therapist from having to testify about exchanges with the boy.
�I'm not really very big on this,� Roca said.
Brewer suggested that Roca make whatever changes he felt necessary in the request to make sure the boy has someone to talk with for emotional support, stress management, relaxation and healing.
�I'm going to make sure (the boy) gets the services he needs,� Brewer said.
A counselor from the probation department has been visiting with the boy, but the defense has objected to the visits. Brewer has said any statements the boy makes to the counselor are not protected and could be used against him in trial.
Brewer also pressed Roca to allow the boy to have a picture of his mother while in detention, but the judge did not respond. Brewer has said the boy is having a difficult time adjusting to his mother being away.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Jan. 21.
Roca has said he won't rule on �substantive issues� until he decides if the boy is competent to stand trial. A psychologist who examined the boy for the defense says he's incompetent. The boy also has been examined by a prosecution expert, but those results haven't yet been disclosed, though the deadline to submit the report to the court has expired.
The boy has been held in juvenile detention since his arrest, but has been allowed at least one furlough to spend Thanksgiving with his mother.
A spokesman for the Romans family, John Andreas, said the family's initial feelings of anger over the shootings have tempered a bit. Andreas also expressed some compassion for the boy, saying each time the family travels to St. Johns for court it's more and more shocking to see such a young boy accused of murder.
�I'm hoping that he'd be able to get some help and maybe lead a productive life later,� Andreas said.

Tel Aviv - A resounding victory at the polls Sunday for Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's referendum to remake the country's constitution and weaken the secular forces in government has spurred Israeli uneasiness about deteriorating ties with an important regional ally.
Though the referendum was about advancing civil liberties in Turkey and weakening the influence of the secular army, the wider-than-expected margin of victory was also seen as a broad approval of Erdogan's foreign policy shift toward Israel.
After years of cozy strategic ties, Erdogan upset Israelis with his criticism of the war against Hamas, and with his backing for a protest flotilla that hurt Israel's international standing by challenging the blockade of the coastal strip in a deadly clash with soldiers. The two countries are still at odds over an international probe of the incident.
Sunday's vote confirms the public largely supports the prime minister's new aggressive stance against Israel, analysts said. It has also boosted expectations that the Erdogan's Islamist party will win next year's general election.
"He has a renewed mandate from the public to attack Israel, so bilaterally, it's not good news," said Alon Liel, a former Israeli diplomat in Turkey.
The confrontational tack has boosted his standing in the Middle East and in the Muslim world, but frustrated Israelis, some of whom started to compare him to Iran President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad earlier this year.
"We are shifting between total panic and an attitude of, 'let's see what happens,'" said Anat Lapidot Firalla, a Turkey expert at the Van Leer Institute. "I don't think a lot of people see [the election results] very favorably. They don't see the democratic aspect of [the election]; they see it as a trick."
Israeli analysts noted that the referendum on the constitution confirms that Erdogan is one of Turkey's most influential leaders since Kamal Attaturk, the founder of the secular state. That should be a wake-up call for Israelis who doubted his staying power
"[Israelis] are going to have to look at Erdogan differently - that he's not a passing phenomenon. People in Israel thought he was a wild politician who was putting Turkey's future in jeopardy by being too Islamic," said Meir Javedanfar, an Iran expert based in Tel Aviv.
"Since the secularists are weaker and it seems the military is going to have a weaker hand, it means that new times are upon us and Israel has to deal with a new reality of a genuinely popular democratic Islamic movement, which has relations with Israel.
This is something that the Israeli government is not used to."
Javedanfar said Israel should continue to patch up relations with Turkey. For all the disputes, maintaining diplomatic ties with a country of 75 million Muslims still has significant symbolic value for a country that is at odds with Iran and other militant Islamic groups.
"Letting go of Erdogan would be yet another gift for Iran and [a problem] for Israel," Javedanfar said. "You're going to lose a Muslim country with which we've had relations for decades, and our relations with them are a thorn in the eyes of those who accuse Israel of having a problem with Islam and Islamic countries."
Liel takes a positive view on the regional implications of the changes, and says that Israelis shouldn't be so quick to fear Erdogan. "All of this is creating a Muslim country that we didn't know before," he said. "Instead blaming him because he's getting closer to Iran, this referendum indicates that he is modernizing and democratizing the country in a way that is an alternative model to Iran."
Amikam Nachmani, a professor of political science at Bar Ilan University, said Israelis shouldn't feel unease about the changes. He explained that the referendum was the latest battle in a decades-old struggle between the secular elite and religious conservatives.
"Whoever wants more democracy in Turkey, whoever wants Turkey to be in the European Union, shouldn't be surprised when Turkey becomes more conservative and more religious as a result of democratic reform," he said.

Spurs bring coaching programme to SA
Entertaining and attackingSpurs are renowned for playing an entertaining and attacking style of football, and the club's coaching programme shares that philosophy, coaching players to play the game with the same style and approach as superstars such as Gareth Bale, Mousa Dembele and Emmanuel Adebayor. Commenting on the announcement of the partnership Mark Jones, head of Spur's global coaching programme, said in a statement: "The club has a long association with South Africa, and through our ongoing relationship with SuperSport United we are aware of the huge amount of talent and passion for football that exists across the country.
Goal"Our goal is to deliver the best learning environment possible to encourage and develop the skills and techniques of all those players that attend the courses, whatever their level," Jones said. Janet Larsen, Investec South Africa's head of marketing, said the partnership was "an extension of an already strong relationship we have with Tottenham Hotspur. The development of talent, combined with a passionate team spirit, makes this a great association for Investec.
'A wealth of football talent'"This programme will be beneficial to young South African soccer players, who will be exposed to a wealth of football talent and greats of the game, who will share their skill and knowledge with these aspiring youngsters," Larsen said. The first course will take place at St David's School, Johannesburg from 10 to 14 December and will be attended by Tottenham Hotspur ambassador and former club captain Ledley King. Each course will be run by four professional full-time coaches from the club's coaching programme, who be assisted by several South African coaches, to ensure all those attending have the chance to learn how to play "the Tottenham Hotspur way".
InformationMore information on the courses taking place across Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town can be found at www.tottenhamhotspur.com/coaching-sa. Tottenham Hotspur has enjoyed a long relationship with South Africa, and toured the country in 2003, 2007 and 2011. In addition to Investec's association with the club, which is now in its third season, Spurs also has an established relationship with Supersport United, partnering with the South African club to deliver an elite youth development academy. For the past six, Spurs have also worked with SOS Children's Home, the world's largest orphan charity, to finance the construction and upkeep of an orphan house in Rustenburg. SAinfo reporter

Stephen Colbert's Jack White interviews are the funniest thing I have seen all year (and I include all the comedic films I've seen, although I exclude Bill Maher and Jane Lynch's performance of Anthony Weiner's sexting). White is the perfect foil for Colbert, with his deadpan, catatonic, and totally unimpressed demeanor. Together, they create comedic, musical gold.
Here's part one of the three-part interview:

Philips SAA7130HL
An alternative solution is the SAA7130HL decoder from Philips. Although I would consider this chip not an alternative but the newest electronic analogue. It is also a highly integrated low-cost single-chip solution that suits perfectly for capturing analog and digital broadcast. It transfers different types of multimedia data via the PCI bus. The analog signal is received by a 9bit ADC, decoded by multi-string combo-filters and scaled along horizontal and vertical axes. The decoded image is displayed in YUV and RGB formats. Analog audio signal is transferred via the connection cable to the system sound card.
Philips decoder exists in four different modifications today: 7130HL (basic or the simplest modification), 7133HL, 7134HL and 7135HL. The comparative table below is a pretty interesting thing to check out, that is why I decided to put it here:
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that NICAM digital encoding is implemented only in 7134HL and 7135HL modifications. So, I believe it makes sense to pay special attention to the TV-tuners built on the latest chip modifications, because stereo is always better than mono.
Now I would like to list the major specifications of the Philips SAA7130HL chip:
- NTSC/PAL/SECAM decoding;
- 5 analog video-Ins: CVBS and S-Video;
- Video digitizing by two 9bit 27MHz ADC;
- Adaptive comb-filter for NTSC and PAL, which also works for non-standard signals;
- Automatic TV signal detector;
- Three-level detection of the copy protection system - Macrovision;
- Brightness, contrast, saturation and hue control;
- Universal bandwidth filter;
- Horizontal and vertical picture scalability including the enlargement and reduction of the picture size;
- Adaptive anti-alias filtering;
- Two types of alternative settings for active video image scaling;
- Playback in YUV and RGB modes;
- Gamma-correction, black stretching.
Even by simply comparing the useful functions of the chips we can conclude that the solution from Philips is better suited for work with SECAM standard. In the long run it should result into better image quality in our case. The real tests will show though, how the things actually stand with the image quality. We will offer you captured TV images for all 6 TV-tuner models reviewed today, so that you could take a closer look and make your own conclusions about this or that card.

The Great Marathon Mythby Ian Kemp
NOTE: This article is the highest-read and most reference article on the Cool Running web site. The original was written in 2002, and I have finally got round to updating it, in 2013, due to the transient nature of the links and sources quoted within. This version is dated 27 September 2013. I encourage school students to study this example to understand how a compelling story can completely displace the historical evidence.
Being of a curious nature I have always been interested by the legend of the Marathon - you know, the story that a Greek runner was sent to Athens to announce the Athenian victory at the battle of Marathon. As one who is keen to run marathons myself, what interested me most was our hero's alleged death from exhaustion on completion of his run. Why did this hardy soul die when so many ordinary people today can quite evidently complete a marathon run with little more than a few blisters? My curiosity was heightened by the fact that there seem to be differing versions of the story, and I had even seen it suggested in various email forums and web sites that the the run in fact never took place!
So I resolved to investigate the great marathon mystery. But where to start - well, where better than today's standard port of call for all things trustworthy and untrustworthy put on an equal footing: http://www.google.com/ !
Let's start with the simple version of 'the myth' - as stated by US running author Jeff Galloway, writing of the Athens Marathon:
In 490 BC, the first battle for democracy was fought at the Greek village of Marathon. Though overwhelmingly outnumbered by an invading Persian horde, the citizen-soldiers of Athens won and preserved the classical Greek way of life. Legend has it that the Athenian messenger Phidippides ran twenty-five miles to Athens, carrying news of that stunning victory. The modern marathon commemorates his feat.
The version I was brought up on came from TV commentators at the 1968 & 1972 Olympics. This was as Galloway said, but also had Pheidippides (or Phidippides or Philippides) calling "victory" (Greek: "Nike") before dying at the completion of his run. This British Olympic Commentator version of the story is recounted on the Ancient Olympics FAQ Page:
The traditional origin of the marathon comes from the story how a herald named Phidippides ran the 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to announce the Greek victory and died on the spot.
Algis' Timelines of History has a rather different variation on the story - in this one Pheidippides runs a double marathon, but this time his run is BEFORE the battle of Marathon not after it:
490BCE Sep 2, Phidippides of Athens set out on his 26-mile run that inspired the Marathon. Phidippides was sent to seek troops from Sparta to help against the invading Persian army. The Spartans were unwilling to help, until the next full moon, due to religious laws. On Sept. 4th, Phidippides returned the 26 miles to Marathon without Spartan troops.However this source hedges his/her bets by then repeating the Olympics Commentators version:
Pheidipiddes, a hemerodromi or long-distance foot messenger, was dispatched to run 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory. He reached Athens and proclaimed: "Rejoice! We conquer!" Then he dropped dead.My question... why?
An even more embellished telling from Wood Middle School has Pheidippides running from Marathon to Sparta (140 miles), then back (140 miles), then to Athens (25 miles) at which point he collapsed and died after gasping 'rejoice'.
In 490 B.C. Persia's fleet of 600 ships loomed off the Greek Shores not far from Athens. According to legend, the general of the Athenian troops sent his fastest runner, Phidippides to ask for help from Sparta.
Phidippides ran for two days and two nights to reach Sparta, about 140 miles away. He gave the message to the Spartans. The Spartans agreed to send troops, but not until after their religious festival was completed in nine days.
"Phidippides ran back to Athens, but the general couldn't wait that long, so he ordered his troops to advance on the Persians. The Persians were no match for the Athenians and 6,400 Persians were slain. The general then ordered Phidippides back to Marathon to spread the good news. The distance between marathon and Athens was approximately 25 miles. Phidippides made the distance, managed to gasp "Rejoice!" then he collapsed and died…. The first marathon completed."
This text was online at the Wood Middle School web site back in 2002 but has subsequently been removed. Which is a shame, because they showed more awareness of history than many professional writers :-) However I'm prompted to wonder, after the two 140-mile ultras the 25 mile might have been considered a light recovery run, so why would he cark it? Maybe the pace got away with him?
So what is the truth? Was there a Pheidippides? Did he run before the battle of Marathon, or after it, and did he stage a heroic death scene as a touch of tragedy to temper the Athenian's victory?
The level of confusion over the story is perhaps not surprising as we are dealing with events well over 2000 years ago. So the only option is to consult the primary sources. In this case the primary source is the writer Herodotus (born 484 BC - 6 years after the battle of Marathon) - who's 'Histories' is the authoritative account of the Battle of Marathon (among many other things).
Herodotus of course didn't have access to the web, but the authoritative translation of his 'histories' (translation by George Rawlinson in 1942) has been placed on the web - I used the plain text version published by MIT http://classics.mit.edu/Herodotus/history.mb.txt
Sections from the English translation are included as the appendix to this page. The basic facts from Herodotus are as follows:
The Athenian generals sent Pheidippides, a professional runner,
to Sparta to ask the spartans to help fight the Persian army, who had arrived by ship at
Marathon. Pheidippides completed the 145 mile journey and arrived in Sparta the day
after he left Athens. He delivered the Generals' request, then returned to Athens with
the Spartan's reply - which was that due to observances they could not leave Sparta until
the full moon. Upon receiving this news the generals decided to attack the Persians anyway,
the result being an Athenian victory against seemingly overwhelming odds.
Having been beaten in the field, the Persians returned to their ships and set sail for Athens - to attack it while undefended. However the Athenians marched the 25 miles overland and succeeded in reaching Athens before the ships, at which the Persians thought better of their plan and beat a retreat by sea.
Note that there is no mention of a messenger being sent to Athens after the Battle.
After it was all over, 2000 Spartan troops arrived at Marathon and were much impressed by the Athenian victory. Their hasty journey along Pheidippides' 145 mile route took them three days.
So there you have it - Pheidippides was more than a mere marathon runner - according to the nearest historical account we have, he completed back to back ultramarathons each of over 200km in extent.
In 1982 John Foden and four other RAAF officers decided to run the REAL Pheidippides course - 147.2 miles along a route agreed
by a consortium of Greek scholars to the most probable route taken by our Bronze age
This led to the establishment in 1983 of the International Spartathlon race over
the Pheidippides route. The inaugural run marked the emergence of one of the top runners of our age -
Greek runner Yiannis Kouros, who won the event with a margin of more than 2˝ hours over
some of the world's top 24-hour runners. Kouros is a very well-known name among the ultra
running fraternity world wide, as he has since gone on to set records and
win events all over the world - including a massive course record at the Taupo 100-mile
race in 2002.
There is more about Kouros' win and his subsequent career at the UltraOz web site:
Meanwhile, the Spartathlon is still being staged annually in September - you can read all about it
at the official web site
By the way, for those interested in the military and historical significance of the Battle of Marathon, I can recommend these two web sites:
Finally, we should ask: where did the Great Marathon Myth originate?
Well according to Nigel Kennell, writing on the ancien-l forum in 1996,
The story of a victory run from Marathon to Athens first appears in Plutarch's Moralia (347C) over half a millenium later than the Persian Wars; he gives credit to either Thersippus or Eukles. Lucian, in the second century AD, says that a PhiLippides ran from Marathon.How Plutach's version arose and morphed into today's myth is a study I will leave to future investigators.
Source: The Internet Classics Archive: http://classics.mit.edu/Herodotus/history.mb.txt
Translated by George Rawlinson
And first, before they left the city, the generals sent off to Sparta a herald, one Pheidippides, who was by birth an Athenian, and by profession and practice a trained runner. This man, according to the account which he gave to the Athenians on his return, when he was near Mount Parthenium, above Tegea, fell in with the god Pan, who called him by his name, and bade him ask the Athenians "wherefore they neglected him so entirely, when he was kindly disposed towards them, and had often helped them in times past, and would do so again in time to come?" The Athenians, entirely believing in the truth of this report, as soon as their affairs were once more in good order, set up a temple to Pan under the Acropolis, and, in return for the message which I have recorded, established in his honour yearly sacrifices and a torch-race.
On the occasion of which we speak when Pheidippides was sent by the Athenian generals, and, according to his own account, saw Pan on his journey, he reached Sparta on the very next day after quitting the city of Athens - Upon his arrival he went before the rulers, and said to them:-
"Men of Lacedaemon, the Athenians beseech you to hasten to their aid, and not allow that state, which is the most ancient in all Greece, to be enslaved by the barbarians. Eretria, look you, is already carried away captive; and Greece weakened by the loss of no mean city."
Thus did Pheidippides deliver the message committed to him. And the Spartans wished to help the Athenians, but were unable to give them any present succour, as they did not like to break their established law. It was then the ninth day of the first decade; and they could not march out of Sparta on the ninth, when the moon had not reached the full. So they waited for the full of the moon.
Nevertheless the Athenians secured in this way seven of the vessels; while with the remainder the barbarians pushed off, and taking aboard their Eretrian prisoners from the island where they had left them, doubled Cape Sunium, hoping to reach Athens before the return of the Athenians. The Alcmaeonidae were accused by their countrymen of suggesting this course to them; they had, it was said, an understanding with the Persians, and made a signal to them, by raising a shield, after they were embarked in their ships.
The Persians accordingly sailed round Sunium. But the Athenians with all possible speed marched away to the defence of their city, and succeeded in reaching Athens before the appearance of the barbarians: and as their camp at Marathon had been pitched in a precinct of Hercules, so now they encamped in another precinct of the same god at Cynosarges. The barbarian fleet arrived, and lay to off Phalerum, which was at that time the haven of Athens; but after resting awhile upon their oars, they departed and sailed away to Asia.
There fell in this battle of Marathon, on the side of the barbarians, about six thousand and four hundred men; on that of the Athenians, one hundred and ninety-two. Such was the number of the slain on the one side and the other. A strange prodigy likewise happened at this fight. Epizelus, the son of Cuphagoras, an Athenian, was in the thick of the fray, and behaving himself as a brave man should, when suddenly he was stricken with blindness, without blow of sword or dart; and this blindness continued thenceforth during the whole of his after life. The following is the account which he himself, as I have heard, gave of the matter: he said that a gigantic warrior, with a huge beard, which shaded all his shield, stood over against him; but the ghostly semblance passed him by, and slew the man at his side. Such, as I understand, was the tale which Epizelus told.
After the full of the moon two thousand Lacedaemonians came to Athens. So eager had they been to arrive in time, that they took but three days to reach Attica from Sparta. They came, however, too late for the battle; yet, as they had a longing to behold the Medes, they continued their march to Marathon and there viewed the slain. Then, after giving the Athenians all praise for their achievement, they departed and returned home.
Ian has run a few marathons and a couple of ultras but is very unlikely to ever complete a 220km run. But then again, maybe one day...

The treatment given to our men who saved the country from the LTTE. DISGUSTING
Tuesday, 17 August 2010 - 11:33 AM SL Time

A retired army officer who was a resident in Kiridiwela, Papiliwala has died in police custody our correspondent reports. This person died after he was taken to police custody last Saturday.
The police stated that he was under the influence of liquor at the time of arrest and he jumped out of the jeep when he was taken to Police Station. However Judicial Medical Officer who carried out post-mortem decided the cause of death due to a severe concussion due to a blow to the back side of his head.
The deceased was a retired Army officer who lived at No 47, Kirindiwela, Siyambalawatta.
A relation of the deceased speking to `Lankatruth` said, `This arrest took place 500m away from our home. There are eye witnesses as well. He was assaulted following arrest. However Police claimed that they arrested the person near the post office. The police produced evidence froma few pavement hawkers to justify their claim. However, the evidence they produced is contradictory. The evidence is not compatible with the post mortem report. So it is obvious that the death occurred due to police assault`

I am not speaking about LTTE but when innocent Tamils were bombed even children, I remember AL justifying murder of innocent women and children with the state line labeling them as tigers, innocent teenagers were jjailed without charges destroying their future and the so called patriots cheered. So thaking away the rank and medals does not look that bad although I dont agree with it. I feel sorry for SF bbut I am also laughing at the so called patriots.

Goaltending is even more important than usual in a lockout-shortened season. A quick save or a heads-up play can change the tide of a matchup that almost acts as a playoff game in the 48-game season.
Several goalies are excelling, but a number of them are struggling. Those would include Miikka Kiprusoff of the Calgary Flames and the two goalies for the Washington Capitals: Michal Neuvirth and Braden Holtby.
There isn't much time for goalies who are playing badly to turn it around, as coaches are ready to make the moves necessary to get their teams into the divisional race as quickly as possible.
Thankfully for these teams, they haven't faced that problem yet this season.
It's always important to have a hot goalie going into the postseason, and these six goalies have shown that they are ready to lead their teams through the season and into the Stanley Cup playoffs.

After the 2016 US election
The 2016 US election is over and most of the results are in. Barring incident, Barack Obama (#44) will hand over to Donald Trump (#45) at noon on January 20th 2017; transition activities are underway. Following a relentless campaign, Hillary Clinton conceded and called for unity. The Republican Party has also secured the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as electing more governors. Voter suppression during the election continues to be an issue. Reaction to Trump's victory has ranged from protests to shock, and there are many questions about what he will do in office regarding issues such as Obamacare. Some are drawing parallels between the election result and Brexit. The press is also contemplating the future of the Democratic Party and their road ahead. [more inside]

The first female White House chef, a naturalized Philippina named Cristeta Comerford, was appointed by George W. Bush - who told Philippine President Gloria Arroyo, "I am reminded of the great talent of our Philippine Americans when I eat dinner at the White House." Despite the urging of American food icon Alice Waters, President Obama has left Comerford in charge of the White House kitchens - though he's keeping quiet about it. But on the basis of the wines served at Obama's Inauguration Day lunch, oenophiles are still hoping for change. (more First Food posts here and here )

"The Mass Observation movement was founded by a group of 1930s' British intellectuals who believed the most revealing way to document an event was to document the peripheral activities surrounding it. The Mass Observers carried out their greatest project on May 12th, 1937, when they dispatched more than 200 observers throughout London to monitor the coronation of King George VI."

A San Antonio man who pretended to be a Texas police officer while demanding free sex from a prostitute has been sentenced to 35 years in prison.
On Monday, August 7, a San Antonio judged sentenced Raul Garza III, age 42.
Garza was convicted of "felony impersonation of a public servant" by a jury. This wasn't his first conviction; previously, Garza had been convicted of burglary and robbery, according to public records.
Last year, while Garza was driving a vehicle similar to a police car, pretended to be a deputy, according to San Antonio prosecutors. Then, he solicited free sex from a prostitute. The hooker obliged, but later called police.
The reason she called police: she alleges he requested sexy photos of her 10-year-old daughter. Even hookers have boundaries.
Garza denied impersonating an officer and claims that he simply refused to pay the prostitute.
