text: Complete care for rehabilitation Patients seeking to recover from serious conditions may require a stay in a hospital with specialized services. Legacy Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon (RIO) at Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center is an inpatient rehabilitation facility offering the highest level of care available. We offer patients and their families a complete approach — round-the-clock medical and rehabilitation services in a caring environment, as well as therapy, skills training and counseling— all in one location. That approach offers an extra level of care that sets us apart from other programs. Patient finds 'sanctuary' Afflicted and paralyzed by a rare disorder, Brian Esparza, M.D., found comfort and inspiration at the Legacy Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon. "It was my sanctuary. I learned to walk there, so it is a huge place in my life." – Brian Esparza, M.D., and former RIO patient. Read Brian's story here. What is RIO? Under the direction of doctors who specialize in rehabilitation (known as physiatrists), we create a personalized plan to best meet our patients' needs that includes goals and a target date for discharge. Each week, the team meets to review and revise the plan to get the best possible results. Family members and patients are an important part of the team. Legacy Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon coordinates job training, counseling, and physical and occupational therapies in the same location. This coordinated approach gives patients the best chance for positive results. Legacy Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon has received a three-year accreditation from the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. Common diagnoses Our team at RIO can help patients through a range of conditions, including: Stroke Spinal cord injury Brain injury Multiple sclerosis Multiple trauma Amputation Burn Special technology RIO is the first in the Pacific Northwest to offer the ZeroG® Gait and Balance Training System, a robotic body-weight support system. The system prevents falls and uses dynamic body weight support to allow patients to practice walking, perform balance exercises and move from sitting to standing. Patients using the system may start exercising and walking faster, potentially shortening their length of stay. Why choose RIO? Patients and families may have many options for rehabilitation care. The levels of care and expertise of the staff varies within these programs. Understanding these differences can help you make the right choice. As an inpatient rehabilitation facility, RIO offers the highest level of care available. A 2014 study shows that patients treated at a medical rehabilitation facility such as RIO on average had better long-term results than those treated at a skilled nursing home. The study found that patients at an inpatient rehabilitation facility: Were discharged two weeks earlier than those at a skilled nursing facility Had fewer hospital readmissions per year for many of the conditions Had an 8 percent lower mortality rate Had 5 percent fewer emergency room visits per year AMRPA - read the full report Information on inpatient care options Determining the best place for you or your family member to transition to after being hospitalized for a traumatic injury or illness requires a thorough understanding of the wide variety of rehabilitation services provided in different healthcare settings. The purpose of rehabilitation care is to maximize recovery and meet individual goals.

Director: Mike Nichols
Stars: Anne Bancroft, Dustin Hoffman, Katharine Ross, William Daniels, Murray Hamilton, Elizabeth Wilson
Vacation destination: Mrs. Robinson's house
Ben (Hoffman) has just graduated college and he finds himself in what might be his last summer vacation, the bittersweet hiatus after college and before entering the real world, or, if you'd like to further procrastinate, grad school.
Ben is on the fence about what he'll do with himself after summer ends, but he's not on the fence about what he'll do with Mrs. Robinson. He gives in to the older seductress, but the plot considerably thickens when he realizes he's fallen in love with her daughter.
Hoffman's expertly acted predicament yielded a slew of Oscar nominations, including a win for best director, and is widely recognized as one of the greatest films ever made. Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson!

Im looking for some black out tail light cover does anyone know where i could find them form my 08
I think this is what you're looking for:
http://www.realtruck.com/auto_vents...kout Tail Light Covers&id=VA10573346713042008
Compare prices on those sites, including shipping. Don't forget to search eBay also. Good luck with the buy.
Dont get the covers they are a waste of money and they may be too dark. The best wy is to spend the money and find someone to sand them down, lay down some black paint and put a clear on top of that. It shouldnt cost you much money maybe 50 bucks but it will last longer and look a lot better.
X2, I definitely second this opinion.
Thank you all for the replys GO CHEVY

North State WWII Vet Receives Legion of Honor Award
REDDING, Calif. - A very high honor was awarded to a North State veteran Wednesday night.
89-year-old Ellis Booth received the Legion of Honor Award.
The award was established by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802, and was first awarded in 1804 for excellent civil or military conduct.
There are five degrees: Knight, Officer, Commander, Grand Officer, and Grand Cross.
There's also a Grand Master, which is France's President.
Booth was given Knight status at a ceremony at the Redding Veterans Hall Wednesday night.
Booth was drafted into the Army in 1943, and was captured during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944. He was held as prisoner of war for five months.
Booth told KRCR News Channel 7 quote, "I'm still trying to figure out why they (France) let me have it (Legion Award)."
Corinne Pereira, France's Deputy Consul General to the United States, traveled from San Francisco to present the award.
Pereira, who wasn't alive during World War II, said Booth received the award because he landed in Normandy in 1944 and helped free France. "We are very grateful and even people from my generation know what to owe to the American Army. We just want to say thank you before it's too late," said Pereira.
Booth has also been awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart.

By Matthew Sheffield | March 3, 2006 | 10:40 AM EST
At a conference speech Thursday, former vice president Al Gore announced the formation of a coalition of political, labor, and religious groups which will soon begin making ad buys on America's television channels warning of the dangers of global warming. Gore also called on the nation's TV outlet owners to match the group's purchases with equal amounts of time gratis. No doubt some will take him up on his offer. Can you imagine, though, if say, Newt Gingrich were to call on media companies to match spending for a program arguing for the need to cut federal spending? He'd have been laughed off the stage.

New Report By Fed Maps States With Highest Percentage Of College Debt
The latest Fed report on student loan debt includes maps showing how all of America's student debt is distributed geographically. Washington DC sure is smart, and broke!
These charts and maps demonstrate a few things: student debt, as a portion of our total national debt, is increasing; student loans are now more likely to be delinquent than any other type of loan; and Washington, DC is educated as ever. DC also has a higher percentage of consumers with student debt than any other state (25.9%), and the highest average student debt per borrower ($41,230).

So What's The Skinny On Fats And Trans Fat?
I've read so much about "fats" over the years, but the medical advice only seems to be more and more confusing!
We were all told to eat margarine and not butter, and I followed that dumb advice for around twenty years.
Then we were told it that it was all a mistake and that we should now keep eating butter!
The very latest news however is that the latest margarines are more healthy than butter because they contain almost no trans fats.
Whereas butter is made from animal fat, so it contains cholesterol and high levels of saturated fat!
Why Do Companies Use Trans Fat?
Trans fats are easy to implement, inexpensive to produce and last a long time.
And they are thought to give a desirable taste and texture.
And many restaurants and fast-food outlets use trans fats to deep-fry their foods because oils that contain trans fats can be used for a much longer time in commercial fryers.
How Much Trans Fat Is It OK To Eat?
The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of trans fats you eat to less than 1% of your total daily calories.
That means if you need 2,000 calories a day, no more than twenty of those calories should come from trans fats.
That's less than 2 grams of trans fats a day!
Low Fat Diets?
Low fat diets and foods have been popping up everywhere in recent years, but I've read that the brain, which is a pretty important organ, needs them!
So maybe some of you can give us the skinny on fats and trans fats?
Your comments are very welcome and you don't need to sign in to comment.

This week we celebrate those who are leading the way through the tough times as we count down to naming the New Zealand Herald Business Leader of the Year. The winner will appear in the Weekend Herald on Saturday.
Longevity doesn't guarantee a place among finalists for the Herald's Business Leader of the Year.
But in the case of John Fellet - who has spent 20 years in Sky TV management and 10 years as chief executive - longevity has meant consistency and stability.
A focused strategy has played a big role in Sky Network Television's growth through its toughest year.
Subscriber growth has inched forward in 2010, falling just short of 50 per cent of homes.
Sky TV may have slowed - but it did not go backwards.
That is in marked contrast to free-to-air television which is still recovering from a big hit in 2009.
And reinvestment in technology over this past year - preparing for its big role as host broadcaster for the Rugby World Cup as well as the move into internet TV - means it is well placed to keep growing next year.
That's due in part to Fellet's strong leadership and the personal style of the American who moved to New Zealand on an 18-month assignment to Sky TV in 1990.
As Sky TV has grown it has set the pace for change in the television sector - and few have any doubts that Fellet is leading the charge with Kiwi pay TV.
On the face of it he's deeply focused on the business.
But his presentations to market analysts reveal another subtle trait - he has a bit of showbiz pizzazz.
He distances himself from Sky TV's political lobbying to keep away the biggest threat to Sky's future - regulation.
New Zealand's laissez-faire approach to regulation means Sky TV has been dominant in pay-television delivery and is becoming increasingly dominant in content rights.
Fellet's slow-burning tactic has been to keep the regulators at bay and keep up with changes in technology and the way people consume media.
He has ensured that change is at Sky's pace and has kept early losses from new media like internet TV to a minimum.
We would like to hear from you. Who do you think is a worthy Business Leader of the Year for 2010? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Serving all people by providing personalized health and wellness through exemplary care, education and research.
Our Services
Explore health content from A to Z.
I need information about...
Artificial Ventilation Techniques: Machines that assist or control your breathing are called ventilators. After the critical event which caused the breathing problems, most patients can be weaned from the need for ventilator assistance. Some patients are totally dependent on a ventilator and would die without its support. Other patients are partially dependent. If you remain either partially or totally dependent upon ventilator support, you, if able, your health care decision maker and your physicians may address the issues of whether or not to continue such support.
Brain Death: The absence of brain activity may be observed and documented by a variety of methods. When this occurs, the patient cannot recover and is considered medically and legally dead even though other vital organs may continue to function for a short while. Vital organs may be donated from patients who have suffered brain death to help save the lives of others.
Breathing Tubes: In order for artificial ventilation to take place, a tube must be inserted into your lungs. An endotracheal tube is a tube inserted through your nose or mouth into the windpipe. This technique is a short-term alternative. If artificial ventilation is necessary for more than a few weeks, a tracheostomy tube is often necessary. A tracheostomy is an incision through the neck into the trachea (windpipe) into which a tube is inserted. The tube can be used for both artificial ventilation and to suction fluids that might interfere with breathing.
Cardiac Assist Device: Devices such as ventricular assist devices or the intra-aortic balloon pump can be used to temporarily "take over" certain functions of the heart.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): When a person's heart stops beating (cardiac arrest), he or she dies within a very few minutes unless immediate action is taken. CPR was developed to help the heart begin to function again. It generally consists of external heart massage, artificial breathing techniques, medication and electrical shocks to the heart. Decisions about whether or not to perform CPR are determined by the physician and the patient or the patient's representative. Such decisions are based upon:
Coma: In response to a brain injury, a person may lapse into a state of deep unconsciousness (coma) in which he or she is unaware of surrounding events. The comatose patient has no conscious response to stimulation and no voluntary control of body movement or activity, although family members and medical providers may note reflexive movements. The comatose patient feels no pain or discomfort and the patient's eyes are often closed. Comatose patients may be kept alive with artificial ventilation, artificial nutrition and artificial hydration while awaiting determination of their final status. The comatose patient may worsen to the point of total absence of brain function. This is called brain death. If brain death does occur, no improvement can be expected. If brain death does not occur, then various levels of recovery can be expected. The level of recovery may range from completely normal to partial injury (such as paralysis) or to the persistent vegetative state.
Decision-Making Capacity: The ability to understand information and make critical decisions is vital for patients. Decision-making capacity is the ability to understand and appreciate the nature and consequences of a decision regarding medical treatment and the ability to reach an informed decision on the matter. Caregivers may assess a patient's decision-making ability in these ways:
Feeding Techniques: If you were unable to take food or food products by mouth, or if you were unable to digest your food properly, you may receive nutrition by one or more of the following techniques:
Enteral Feeding: Liquid food can be given through a variety of tubes inserted into the stomachs of patients who are able to digest food. A nasogastric or feeding tube may be inserted through your nose into your stomach. If it looks as if you will need to be fed artificially for a long time, a special tube, which is surgically inserted into the stomach, is favored. This is a good long term alternative and may prove more comfortable.
Intravenous (IV): IV solutions are used to provide you with fluid, vitamins, electrolytes and medication. A small tube is inserted into a vein in your arm or hand. The amount of calories that you can receive through this method is not enough to keep you alive for long periods of time.
Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN): TPN is a special IV solution containing enough vitamins, minerals and adequate calories to sustain life. This technique requires a special IV line and is generally used in situations when you are unable to take food by mouth or to digest it properly.
Hospice: Whether provided in the hospital, home or in a nursing facility, hospice treatment is a philosophy of care based upon a primary goal of comfort and emotional support for the dying patient, his or her family and significant others. The control of pain and other symptoms, both physical and psychological, is the foremost concern.
Hemo-Dialysis (kidney dialysis): The kidneys are essential to eliminate waste products and ensure that your body is in chemical balance. Artificial kidney techniques such as hemo-dialysis support you during kidney failure. Kidney failure may either be temporary or permanent. In either case, these artificial kidney techniques can effectively sustain life until your kidneys begin to function again or it is determined that a transplant or ongoing dialysis is needed.
Persistent Vegetative State (PVS): Although sometimes confused with coma or brain death, PVS is a level of unconsciousness that can occur after a coma. In this state of unconsciousness, the patient's eyes can be open and the patient may have normal sleep/wake cycles and reflexive body movements. However, the patient is unconscious. Patients in a persistent vegetative state usually do not need artificial ventilation assistance. They may require artificial nutrition and hydration if it is believed the patient would wish to be kept alive in such circumstances.

The Ten Dirty Secrets of Getting Enlightened HTML version
Why dirty secrets?
Simple, because we never attract towards anything that is sober and decent.
Dirty is attractive, dirty is appealing, and dirty may be dangerous.
There is great appeal for sex and meditation since the beginning of the
I answered why 'dirty'.
Now why 'ten'?
Why 'ten dirty' secrets?
Why not twenty or hundred?
I don't know.
I like 'ten'.
It seems like 'Ten Commandments' of Jesus, that's why Ten.
Who knows people may know me for centuries for my "Ten Dirty Secrets of
Getting Enlightened"
Who knows?
Meditation is dangerous. Meditation may bring you to the point where there is
nothing good or bad. It may wash out whatsoever you have earned through lots
of hard work, and education. You may find that your securities are in fact
insecurities. And the relationships and love you are clinging right now are in
fact your insecurities and escape form loneliness.
You may lose your identity, and persona.
From centuries meditation is considered as something arduous and sacred. And
that keeps everyone away from meditation. For these people meditation is
going away from society, and to become a monk.
Renounce. Give up.
But it is very coward to run away from the society. Actually society is a test.
Only in this big madhouse your abilities can be test and you can find your
center. Or you may find that there is no center at all!
Otherwise how will you know that you become a Buddha?
Even a Buddha has to come back to society. So why leave society in the first

Hello, all! I'm very new (as in 3 minutes) to the site and, for right now, am looking for advice.
I've always found it very hard to remain monogamous in previous relationships. It has not been for lack of love in the relationship; it's the fact that I get bored very easily. I have not and will not ever cheat on a partner and I have beaten myself up and blamed myself for sabotaging any relationship; thinking it was completely my fault for its demise. It has not been easy and I'm still not sure what will bring me happiness.
My current predicament:
I have a pair of VERY close friends who are married to each other. I can genuinely say I love both of them with all my heart. We have gone on vacations together as well as naming me the godmother of their son. A little over a year ago I had a sexual encounter with my female friend. This has happened maybe 3 other times since then. All followed by: "PLEASE don't tell my husband!" I'm not a fan of lying, but that is something he should hear from his wife, not me. Recently her husband has confessed to having deep feelings, emotional and sexual, towards me, followed by: "PLEASE don't tell my wife!"
As I said, I deeply care for both of them and they both have made clear how they feel about me. I was wondering if anyone had any advice about how to, or even if, I should approach the both of them about polyamory. I really don't want to freak them out with talk that they are not comfortable with. Please help! My head is spinning!
Thank you all!

New Federal Rules Aim to Expand Health Coverage for Women
Federal health officials have announced new regulations that would require insurers to cover a range of preventive care services for women without co-payments or deductibles, including contraception. The new rules would go into effect in January 2013.
Planned Parenthood of New York City applauded the regulations. Spokeswoman Erica Sackin said the cost of birth control has long created a barrier to access for many women. "It can cost anywhere from $15 to $50 a month, which really adds up," Sackin said.
"Many of our patients tell us that they struggle to afford birth control and have to make unfortunate financial decisions such as choosing between buying groceries and buying their monthly pill pack." Sackin said.
Sackin hopes greater access will also help prevent unplanned pregnancies. She said 61 percent of pregnancies in New York City are unplanned.
The regulations are part of President Barack Obama's health care law. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said they'll also ensure access to screening for sexually-transmitted diseases and diabetes during pregnancy, breast-feeding support and supplies and counseling for domestic violence — all without cost-sharing.
But Leslie Moran, senior vice president of New York's Health Plan Association, urged consumers to read the find print and check with their insurance companies to verify costs and coverage.
"It's important to remember that no co-payments does not mean that there's no cost," Moran said. "In fact, adding services and eliminating cost-sharing such as co-payments can actually increase the bottom-line costs of your insurance premiums."
Moran said the actual increases for those services could be small, but that they can add up when combined with other factors that drive up insurance costs. She also noted that New York was ahead of the game and had already taken steps to ensure access to many women's health services, including coverage of mammograms and cervical cancer screenings.

Spanish Fluent Speakers Grade Tabs
Course Description
6th grade Spanish for Fluent Speakers is a course designed to provide beginning Spanish for fluent students with a solid foundation in the four major language skill categories: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The goal is to promote an understanding and clear appreciation of the Hispanic culture. 6th grade students are involved in a community of practice on advanced conversations, to describe the immediate environment, and to ask and answer questions using learned grammatically correct phrases and expressions.
At the end of 6th grade, students will be proficient by applying vocabulary, some spelling rules and constructed grammar structures in oral and written assignments and projects. Students will explore different kind of texts, story tales, fiction, anecdotes, legends and short plays through reading, writing and oral presentations.
6th grade student will read three books, newspaper and online articles, comment the reading material, write summaries and prepare oral presentations. Students also will engage in two research projects: The Spanish Origin and a Free Topic Research Project. In addition, the use of Rosetta Stone online and different technology activities will complement a fun and rich learning environment.
Units of Study:
Unit 1: Spanish Origin
Students investigate, learn and reflect in how the Spanish language became so widely spoken, where did it originate, and how did it spread across the globe to be spoken in so many countries, by so many people today. 6th graders connect language and culture by learning how Spanish language has one of the richest and longest histories of any of the world's languages. Students read and comment the book, "Me llamo María Isabel." On the grammar aspect, they immerse themselves by studying the parts of speech, and diverse spelling rules.
Unit 2: Day of The Dead Celebration
This unit focuses on an ancient indigenous Mexican holiday and it has the objective of enriching cultural appreciation, values and traditions from other cultures. Students also make linguistic and cultural observations by interacting directly with hand on activities while they prepare for the ceremony of The Day of the Dead. 6th grade students write a book summary and have an oral presentation. On the grammar aspect, students are involved in a writing workshop where they exercise the use and application of connective words, spelling rules etc.
Unit 3: The Story Tale
In this unit, students are introduced to characteristics of story tales that help them to develop an appreciation of this genre of Latino American fiction. Students read the fantasy book, "Tulia y la Tecla Mágica," and they practice writing summaries from information they have gathered and organized. Some tales are fantastic and others are more realistic. Students also plan and write their own story tales. On the grammar aspect, students are involved in a writing workshop where they exercise the present, past and future tenses.
Unit 4: Culture and Language Connection with The Real World
6th grade students reflect about language how the key component of culture. It is the primary medium for transmitting much of culture. Without language, culture would not be possible. Students learning their native language are learning their own culture; learning a second language also involves learning a second culture to varying degrees. Therefore, students read and comment different newspaper articles connected with the real world and work in teams by created a TV News Show. On the grammar aspect, students are engaged in a writing workshop where they learn the rules for accents in words.
Unit 5: Poetry
Students engage on hand on activities by learning diverse techniques for memorizing and performing a Spanish language poem in front of the group. Students also are guided with grammar tools in a writing workshop by learning how to put accents in words and solidifying their spelling abilities
Unit 6: Writing an Anecdote
In this unit, 6th grade students engage in diverse real and fictional stories include in two different books that create magic and a sense of wonder at the world. Stories and personal anecdotes can teach students about life, about us and about others. Storytelling is a unique way for students to develop an understanding, respect and appreciation for other cultures, and can promote a positive attitude to people from different lands, races and religions. On the grammar aspect, students are immersing in a writing workshop where they answer questionnaires, and exercise the use of punctuation.
Unit 7: Research Project and Oral Performances
In this unit, 6th grade students have the individual opportunity to connect with the Spanish language with different subjects and activities outside the classroom by selecting a research project. Each student can focus in a topic, investigate, write and create a keynote oral presentation. Consequently, 6th grade students learn the parts of a theater play, dramatize different dialogues, write a brief script and perform the play in front of class.

News private bondholders may be required to take substantial losses on their holdings of Greek debt weighed on the Australian sharemarket yesterday, overshadowing a strong lead from Wall Street.
The S&P/ASX 200 spent most of the morning session around par, but losses mounted as the day wore on and the index closed 27.1 points lower at 4227.9, eroding some of Monday's 2.73 per cent gain.
The broader All Ordinaries Index fell 0.6 per cent, or 25.9 points, to 4287.7.
Around the region, Japan's Nikkei was down 0.92 per cent, while in late trading Hong Kong's Hang Seng was up 0.51 per cent and China's Shanghai Composite was up 1.82 per cent.
Expectations are building ahead of the final European Union leaders' summit tonight, at which a comprehensive package to address the Greek debt crisis is due to be announced.
Reports on Monday night flagged private sector bondholders will be asked to take a 60 per cent haircut on their holdings to spread the burden of Greece's bailout costs, sparking concerns about the vulnerability of some of Europe's largest banks.
"The extent to which that plan has a damaging impact on creditworthiness in general depends on how the recapitalisation process goes – it goes hand in hand," Altius Asset Management chief investment officer Bill Bovingdon said.
"It's a balancing act."
Sirius Fund Management portfolio manager Kieran Kelly was concerned the market had set itself up for a fall ahead of the final summit tonight.
"The market has run too far," Mr Kelly said. "I'm not convinced any solution that will come out of this [summit] will fix the fundamental problems."
Materials stocks were the only sector in the black on the major index, buoyed by strong gains in commodity prices on Monday night and a better-than-expected quarterly result from US earthmoving machinery company Caterpillar.
Mr Kelly thought the US quarterly reporting season had been unfairly overshadowed by continuing European ructions.
"The profitability coming out of America is quite amazing," he said.
"Corporate America has never been in better shape – piles of cash, good earnings reports, sound balance sheets.
"It makes you wonder what in fact drives stock prices longer term."
Brent crude hit its highest level in two months, up to $US92.07 a barrel, buoying Australian energy stocks Caltex Australia, up 10¢ to $14.08, and AWE, up 3¢ to $1.28.
Rio Tinto gained $1.00 to $66.63 while BHP Billiton was up 32¢ to $37.17.
Mirabela Nickel topped the major index, up 9.5 per cent, or 13¢, to $1.50 after it reported record production of nickel in concentrate for the September quarter.
It was an eventful day on the annual general meeting front, with both Pacific Brands and Foster's facing shareholder revolts on executive pay levels. Pacific Brands fell 3.5¢ to 59.5¢ while Foster's dropped 1¢ to $5.30.
Surfwear retailer Billabong International gained 31¢ to $3.91 after the company predicted strong growth for the 2012 financial year at its annual general meeting.
Sleep device maker ResMed dropped 39¢ to $2.61 after the company posted lower than expected revenue growth for the September quarter.
The major four banks were in the red, with Westpac down 16¢ to $22.00, National Australia Bank down 27¢ to $24.67, Commonwealth Bank of Australia down 6¢ to $48.72 and ANZ Banking Group down 16¢ to $21.55.
In a speech on Tuesday, Reserve Bank of Australia deputy governor Ric Battellino hinted strongly at the potential for an interest rate cut on Melbourne Cup Day if consumer price inflation figures today were relatively soft.
Consumer discretionary stocks have rallied more than 2 per cent in the past three trading sessions ahead of the numbers.
But Deutsche Bank equity strategist Tim Baker was urging clients not to get overexcited about the effect a rate cut may have on the market.
Looking at four past rate-cutting cycles, Mr Baker found equities did not tend to pick up until about a year after a rate cut.
"This analysis would suggest that investors are best to use the months after the first rate cut as opportunities to buy up sold-down cyclicals, in anticipation of a bounce over the following year," he wrote.

Re: st: hireg help

For why the SSC module -hireg- does not work as expected, you may wish
to email the author:
Paul H. Bern, Syracuse University
(taken from the help file) though he may want a reproducible example
of its not working beginning with e.g. -sysuse auto- as well.
I've noticed that questions on stepwise regression or the like
occasionally go unanswered on Statalist, perhaps because the practice
is inadvisable (i.e. don't do it!).
After a quick look, -hireg- seems to have some minor mistakes in the
code--e.g. it reports obs not used when option -nomiss- is specified
without reference to [if] and [in] restrictions--but I cannot easily
see the source of your reported error. As to the statistical validity
ot the output, I doubt I would ever use it myself... am I repeating
But here's another version that may work for you (caveat emptor), if
you save the code between the horizontal lines below to a file
"hireg2.ado" in your Stata's search path (e.g. /ado/plus/h). In my
version, groups of variables to be added are specified in quotes, not
parentheses, and I took out the options -xi- and -regopts- but options
for the regressions can still be specified after a comma, and I added
the option -quietly- to suppress regression output. For a demo, try:
sysuse auto, clear
hireg pr (mpg length turn) (disp for wei)
hireg2 pr "mpg length turn" "disp for wei", q
hireg2 pr "" "mpg length turn" "disp for wei", q
hireg2 pr "mpg" "wei rep78" if for==1, q
hireg2 pr "mpg" "wei rep78" if for==1, nomi q

"hireg dollarmargin (EDadmit surgical anyoutlier ortho cardiac surgcardiac surg ortho) (resbed DSH beds public forprofit levelone)"
the last 3 variables (public, forprofit and levelone) are omitted from the second model. No matter what variables I place at the end of the command, they are dropped from the output (i.e., multicollinearity is not the problem). It seems to work fine when I trim down the number of variables in the first model, but, of course, I need the output for all the variables. I'm using Stata 8.
Have you encountered this problem before? Does anyone have any advice? Someone posed this same question to the listserv in 2005, but it was not answered.

Leave it to the Kansas City Chiefs to shake it up once again.
On a night the NFL sent a memo to teams saying that premature agreements with pending free agents will be frowned upon until Tuesday, the busy Chiefs kept things interesting by making some news.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Chiefs have come to terms with Dunta Robinson on a three-year deal. Robinson, recently cut by the Falcons, was once considered a top cornerback. He never lived up to the huge contract the Falcons gave him, but he wasn't terrible, either. He could thrive being the No. 2 cornerback in Kansas City. Robinson was free to agree to a deal because he was released and was not technically an unrestricted free agent.
There has been some early thought that Robinson, who turns 31 next month, can play nickel or even help at safety for the Chiefs. If that is the case, the Chiefs could still look at Alabama corner Dee Milliner with the No. 1 pick. A trio of Brandon Flowers, Robinson and Milliner would be stellar. Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. likes the signing.
"He is pretty aggressive in all facets of playing the position -- which can be good and bad," Williamson said of Robinson. "It can get him into trouble and he, in turn, can have some coverage lapses. Even though he never lived up to the contract he signed in Atlanta, I would still say he is a starting-caliber cornerback as a No. 2."
Even as a starter, Robinson often plays the nickel spot in those situations.
And the Chiefs might not be out of the cornerback market. The NFL Network reports that the team has made contact with representatives of Miami's Sean Smith. That move had been expected. Smith would start in Kansas City if signed, and the signing would give the Chiefs a powerhouse cornerback group.
The agreement with Robinson continues a busy stretch for the Chiefs, who have been by far the most active team in the NFL in the past 10 days. Along with Robinson, the Chiefs have agreed to trade for quarterback Alex Smith, signed standouts Dwayne Bowe and Dustin Colquitt to extensions, put the franchise tag on Branden Albert, reworked the contract of Tyson Jackson and cut tackle Eric Winston.
The Chiefs also have the top pick in April's draft. While Milliner could remain on the table depending on Robinson's duties, the team might be leaning toward taking Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel, with a plan for him to play right tackle for now, depending on Albert's future.
Still, as the Robinson signing shows, the Chiefs can't be expected to quiet down as they begin the Andy Reid era. Everything seems to be possible.

Posted: October 24, 2007 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Oct. 24, 2007) – The American Council on Exercise (ACE), America's nonprofit fitness authority, strongly recommends and supports recent information from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that individuals with heart or lung disease, older adults and children AVOID prolonged or heavy exertion due to unhealthy to very unhealthy Air Quality Index (AQI) levels. Everyone else should REDUCE prolonged or heavy exertion during this time predicted to last through Friday, October 26 because of the San Diego fires.
"During exercise, where mouth breathing plays an important role, the body's normal air filtration process is much less efficient, and more pollutants reach the lungs, said Robyn Stuhr, ACE Executive Vice President and Exercise Physiologist. "These pollutants may interfere with the body's ability to carry oxygen, forcing the heart to pump harder, irritate the eyes, constrict air passages and lower the body's resistance upper respiratory illness and colds."
Certain pollutants can damage the cells lining the air spaces in the lungs. Damaged cells are shed and replaced, but if this depletion occurs repeatedly, the lungs could become permanently damaged.
Stuhr recommends air conditioned fitness facilities with appropriate filters for exercisers. Otherwise, focus on stretching or low-intensity activities which can help provide stress relief without overtaxing the lungs.
"I've seen people running through areas covered in ash, that can't be right," said Jessica Matthews, an avid and regular exerciser. "I run on Mondays and Wednesdays and I have to admit, I'm going stir crazy not being able to get out there. Exercise is such a stress reliever and especially now, we could all use it."

You are herecontent / Lawmaker yields as antiwar group turns up heat
Lawmaker yields as antiwar group turns up heat
People's Weekly World Newspaper, 06/22/05 18:23
Author: Tim Wheeler
BALTIMORE – Members of Baltimore Pledge of Resistance went to the district office of Rep. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) June 17 to demand that he speak out against the Iraq war. The group met for several hours with Cardin's chief administrative aide Chris Lynch.
Cindy Farquhar told Lynch she was "disappointed" that Cardin did not sign on to the Woolsey Amendment, named for Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.) requiring President George W. Bush to announce an "exit strategy" to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq.
"We're long past the idea that providing a better helmet is 'supporting the troops,'" she said. "We are also asking him to join in pursuing the investigation of the Downing Street Memo. There are 120 House members who have signed Conyers' letter to Bush on that memo."
Lynch asked, "What does the Conyers' letter do?"
Maria Allwine, a Green Party candidate for the U.S. Senate replied, "It asks Bush to answer the Downing Street Memo's allegation that he 'fixed' intelligence on Iraq. Mr. Bush doesn't feel he needs to answer it." Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) is the leading Democrat on the House Judiciary committee.
If Cardin "can't even put his signature on a letter demanding that Bush answer those questions, I can see that Cardin doesn't represent me," Allwine said.
As the meeting proceeded, other POR members began reading aloud and attaching to a mock "memorial wall" the names of the 1,700 U.S. soldiers and thousands of coalition troops and Iraqis who have died. "Presente," they said after each name.
When 5:30 p.m. arrived, another Cardin aide announced that the office was closing. Those who refused to leave would face arrest, she warned. Many departed but Farquhar, Allwine, Baltimore Veterans for Peace leader Ellen Barfield, and peace activist, Max Obuszewski made clear they would not leave until they heard from Cardin.
Finally, Lynch telephoned Cardin. The aide returned about 7 p.m. to tell the POR delegation that the Congressman had agreed to three of the four proposals: He would sign on to Conyers letter, endorse Rep. Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) "timetable" for withdrawal from Iraq; and would call for the closing of the U.S. Detention Center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Cardin conveyed that he wants to meet with the delegation on the fourth proposal: voting against future funding of the war.
"Everyone believes it was a clear victory," Obuszewski told the World. "One reason we went to Cardin's office is that he is running for the U.S. Senate. We want to get the dialogue going right now."
Their success, he added, dramatizes the importance of individual and organized group visits to lawmakers during the upcoming July 4 congressional recess. With public support of the war plummeting, he said, many lawmakers, even those who supported the war, can be convinced to support peace initiatives.
Cardin is the leading candidate to replace Democratic Sen. Paul Sarbanes who is retiring. The Republicans are pinning their hopes of picking up that Senate seat on Michael Steele, Maryland's first African American lieutenant governor.

Absinthe |
Emile Pernot, Pontarlier, France
Convert: USD | Other
70cl 75% abv (150 proof)Roquette 1797 is a complex and spicy absinthe, based directly on a late 18th century manuscript recipe. It represents the first serious attempt in the modern era to recreate an absinthe from the very birth of absinthe, when the drink straddled the line between liquor and potion, when it was as much magical and mysterious elixir as fashionable aperitif.

Tall, strong, and confident, this painted Western Fir tuteur is ideal for vines that like to stretch skyward. The crisp white framework is a pretty foil for greenery with (or without) showy blooms—it's equally effective supporting Beans or Peas in a vegetable patch, displaying Clematis in a perennial bed, creating the focal point of a formal herb garden, or topping a large square planter wherever you need a vertical accent. Easy to assemble with a Phillips screwdriver. Measures 81″ tall and 2′ square at the base.
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the Shipping Details box for each item. Please refer to the Shipping Details box to determine the earliest shipping time. Unless you specify otherwise, fertilizers, tools, and other non-plant items are shipped with your plants or bulbs. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at expected time of delivery.
We guarantee to ship plants that are in prime condition for growing. If your order is damaged or fails to meet your expectations, we will cheerfully replace or refund it. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-503-9624 or email us at [email protected]. Please include your order number or customer number when contacting us.

Assembling this tuteur, we were diappointed but not completely discouraged by how easily the wood split. Indeed, some of the pieces came with visible splintering straight out of the box. Even so, it looked good and was serviceable when we got it together and installed in the garden.
Two days later, roughly 50% of the surface of the white tuteur was yellowed. The yellowing is all over, not just near the ground, and it happened so quickly that it suggests the glue failed when exposed to sunlight. It now has an awful appearance, and we're torn between painting it (while in place - obviously not ideal) or tearing it out and replacing it. If you're hoping for the sort of longlasting white finish you might get from a sprayed-and-sealed outdoor product, you'll be disappointed.
However, since this is a relatively affordable product, and it does look good (at least for the first week...time will tell beyond that!), you might consider priming, painting, and sealing the tuteur before you set it out to save yourself this trouble.

As another reviewer wrote, the tuteur is made of wood (softwood lath) that can split easily. I'm not sure what else it could have been made from without being too heavy. I solved this problem by using a manual screwdriver (even though the instructions recommend electric). I find that I can control speed and direction much more easily that way. It was not at all difficult, and I'm a 69-year-old woman.
I wasn't crazy about the look of the dark screw heads, and there was some sap bleed-through in the white, so I spray-painted it with white outdoor enamel before putting it in the garden bed. Looks great. Plus the paint cures any minor splitting that might be present.

After nearly two years of research and development, NORDYNE is pleased to announce the launch of iQ Zone™, the first zoning system to work seamlessly with the company's 24.5 SEER iQ Drive® air conditioners and 22 SEER iQ Drive® heat pumps.
To develop iQ Zone, NORDYNE partnered with Airzone, a leading manufacturer of innovative zoning systems. Airzone incorporated their ultra-communicating technology with the patent-pending iQ Drive controller for simple installation and operation. iQ Zone will control up to 8 zones and 32 dampers in the home.
Simple and ultra-communicating.
Traditional zoning systems interpret On/Off status from up to eight wired thermostats and send power through two wires to each individual damper. iQ Zone works differently in that it is a network of microcontroller-based devices that communicate with each other, similar to a computer network. This provides unsurpassed data processing and, ultimately, home comfort.
"We're really pleased with how iQ Zone is performing in the field," says Rob Hawk, iQ Zone brand manager. "The daisy chain wiring makes installation extremely easy, and a single control board reduces components that contractors need."
Hawk adds that iQ Zone uses a sophisticated error management system. "This system pinpoints where the error is in the whole installation, greatly reducing the time needed during a service call."
12 percent efficiency gain.
In addition to the comfort created by having individualized zones in the home, iQ Zone has another outstanding consumer benefit – extra efficiency. At up to 24.5 SEER, iQ Drive systems are already the most efficient split systems available. Adding iQ Zone to the system increases efficiency up to another 12 percent.
To learn more about iQ Zone and iQ Drive systems, dealers should talk to their distributors or visit www.iqdrive.net.

Redding Woman: Mother to 12, 34 Grandchildren, 69 Great-Grandchildren & 7 Great-Great Grandchildren
REDDING, Calif. - Mother's Day is a special day for all moms, but imagine being a mother to 12, a grandma to more than 30, a great-grandma to almost 70, and a great-great-grandma to seven.
85-year-old Lucy Warren of Redding lives that reality and called her self "the richest mother in the world."
Warren married the father of her children, Robert Loyd, in 1947. They settled in Redding and started having children.
"I thought I'd have two but it didn't work out that way," Warren said. "Instead, they had 12 children – six boys and six girls."
"The oldest is [now] 65 and my youngest will be 49 in May," she said.
After 20 years of marriage, Robert passed away. Warren became a hard-working single mom to her 12 kids.
A few years later she met the man who would become her second husband.
"When he came over to take me out to dinner [...] I thought, well I'll never see him again, especially with wall to wall kids, you know?" Warren said.
He did come back and the two were married for 29 years.
Now, widowed again, Warren spends her time playing bunco, and of course with her kids and all her grandchildren.
"34 grandchildren, 69 great and 7 great-great. The 8th one's on the way in September," Warren said.
For Mother's Day, she said she mostly gets a stack of cards, but loves the visits from family members who still live nearby.
"We always have fun. I have comedians in my family. When they get together, it's hilarious. I have fun with them. I quit babysitting though," Warren said, laughing.

Immaculate Heart Radio has some of the most wonderful volunteers who give of their time and talent to help share the Catholic faith with millions over the airwaves. One of these volunteers, Michael Ochoa, volunteered at our recent pledge drive for 12 hours – each day! Armed with enthusiasm and a couple of energy drinks, Michael took calls from our generous listeners from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day of our two-day pledge drive.
When asked why he decided to volunteer for Immaculate Heart Radio, Michael said, "I volunteer because that's what I do when I believe in something. I believe what Pope John Paul II said about needing to use all mediums to evangelize, and I believe Immaculate Heart Radio does that. I am typically an outgoing guy and love to interact with people, so I love helping with the pledge drives because I get to speak with people who enjoy the programming as much as I do. "
Michael is an active member of St. Joseph's parish in Clarksburg, CA and a charter member of their Knights of Columbus council. He works for the State of California and used some of his vacation time to devote 2 full days to Immaculate Heart Radio's pledge drive.
"I enjoy learning about my faith, I love the Catholic programming on Immaculate Heart Radio and like everyone I'm just trying to live my faith to the best of my ability each day."
If you would like to join Michael in volunteering at our pledge drives – whether for an hour on one day or for 12 hours each day – our Fall Pledge Drive will take place October 3-6 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. If interested, contact Nicole Cardin at firstname.lastname@example.com or 866-774-3278 ext. 247.

Pacific Rim - WonderCon Footage
Reported by Jay Cochran - 2013.04.29
This was originally intended for only WonderCon, but after listening to so many of you asking for more of the movie online, I think it's time for me to show you more footage. Enjoy, my friends!
- Guillermo del Toro
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanitys resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroesa washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankinds last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
Pacific Rim stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Robert Kazinsky, Max Martini, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Brad William Henke and Diego Klattenhoff. and will be released both in 2D and 3D with the release date of July 12th, 2013.
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim.

I mean, to me, one of the great things about Franklin Roosevelt was that during the Second World War, he called the presidents of the big companies in the United States into his office and yelled at them. And said that if there is price gouging, I'm closing you down. And he knew these people. The president of US Steel comes in to see Franklin Roosevelt, and Franklin Roosevelt thinks, "Here comes Stinky! Who sat next to me in Latin class at Groton and tried to copy off my paper!" But someone like Clinton or Obama goes, "Oh my God, the president of US Steel is coming to my office!" That to me is the downside of coming from nowhere. That might be — I don't know, I don't know Obama — but that would be a more logical explanation for Timothy Geitner and Larry Summers. Who in my opinion should not have been within a billion miles of this financial crisis that they helped create. Robert Rubin! These people should be in prison! They shouldn't be in the Oval Office advising the president!
You would include Geitner and Summers? Well, Larry Summers, I don't know his private dealings. I know that he was the president of Harvard. But Robert Rubin? You know, if someone has millions and millions and millions of dollars, it's really simple: you don't earn hundreds of millions of dollars, you steal it. You earn $12 an hour. These people should not be advising.
Business is not the same thing as economics. The country doesn't seem to realize this. It's the opposite. People say, "Business is very complicated. Only a genius can be in business." Business is the simplest thing on the planet. It has one purpose: to make a profit. It's really simple. Economics is really complicated. Politics is complicated. There's a million values in politics and economics. There's only one in business. And so I think it's terrible to bring businessmen into these types of decisions. They don't care about most people. Forty-seven percent! Romney doesn't care about — I hate to use this phrase — he doesn't care about 99 percent of the people! He doesn't care about them, he doesn't even know who they are! Of course he doesn't care about them! That videotape, whatever it's called now, the thing that Mother Jones got? That was a shock to people? People are moronic. That wasn't a surprise to me.
. . . Can I ask you a question? Is Elizabeth Warren going to win?
I don't know. I think it's too close to call. I can imagine that you're more for Elizabeth Warren than for Scott Brown? Yes, good guess! I love Elizabeth Warren. Scott Brown looks to me like an aging waiter . . . . Like a failed soap-opera actor. There are tons of people like this in LA and New York — these guys who were very good looking when they were young, they thought they would become actors, and they're still coming to your table telling you the specials.

Madhuri: Being number one or two never bothered me
Her roles in upcoming films 'Gulab Gang' and 'Dedh Ishqiya' are not stereotypical.
New Delhi: Madhuri Dixit will be seen in a new avatar in her two upcoming films and the Bollywood actress says she no longer wants to do roles that require her to run around trees. The 45-year-old 'dhak dhak' girl, who ruled the film industry in late 80s and early 90s, made a comeback to acting after a four-year-long hiatus in 2007 with 'Aaja Nachle'.
She says her roles in upcoming films 'Gulab Gang' and 'Dedh Ishqiya' are not stereotypical.
"Both the films have very tight scripts and very mature roles- exactly the kind of films that I want to do now. I can't run around trees anymore. That is something that I won't enjoy doing. I feel now things are beyond beauty and that is the right way. I can't portray caricatures on screen," she
said during a session of 'Agenda - Aaj Tak'.
Madhuri, who made her debut with 'Abodh' in 1984, went on to star in films like 'Tezaab', 'Beta', 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun', 'Dil To Pagal Hai', 'Devdas'.
She also said that the industry has changed a lot from what it was when she left.
"Our industry has changed. Women are all over and doing great work. When I left the industry, Farah Khan was a choreographer. When I came back, she had become this super successful director. There is Zoya Akhtar, who made last year's best film 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'. Now I see so many women as assistant directors, creative directors, camera persons. It is a positive step," she said.
To her, the reason behind so many women-centric films like 'Kahaani', 'Fashion', 'The Dirty Picture', being made is because of the change in the society and audience.
"The debate of heroine versus hero has been going on forever. But films have really changed. It is not that there have not been women centric films before but not as much as we are seeing now. Women in the society has changed and that is being reflected in films. Even the audience has changed," she
When asked about pay scale of actress' in Bollywood not being at par with actors, Madhuri joked, "I think we have to form a group and need to take care of it."
Moreover, the 'Dhak dhak' girl says she has always enjoyed her work and tried to keep herself away from the politics of the industry.
"Being number one or number two never bothered me. I did not believe in all that. I had this in mind that whenever I go on the sets, I have to give my best. Whenever I gave a good shot, that was a special moment for me.
"I never got into the politics of the industry. I was always kept away from it and enjoyed being being part of it," Madhuri said.
With some many good films and commendable performances to her credit, the 45-year-old still looks the same and has always been very down to earth. The actress says its her family that has helped her to be like that.
"My family, their values and education have kept me grounded. I am not a frog in the well. There is a life outside the industry and I have always been very curious about it. I love meeting people and talking to them. For me it is not about 'I, me and myself'," she added.
