"I can confirm that the New York Police Department and the Office of the District Attorney returned Mr Strauss-Kahn's passport," Shawn Naunton, from the French politician's legal team, said after a brief visit to his Manhattan home.
Strauss-Kahn has been a free man since Tuesday when a New York judge agreed to a request by prosecutors to drop all charges against him.
The DA's office said it could no longer pursue the case because while Strauss-Kahn did engage in sex with a Manhattan hotel maid, her repeated lying to investigators made it impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt her allegations of sexual assault.
"As you all know, Mr Strauss-Kahn's freedom was restored on Tuesday and the criminal charges were dismissed. It's gratifying to return his passport to him today," Naunton said.
Strauss-Kahn is believed to be preparing to return to France, where until his arrest he was seen as a leading prospect to become president in elections next year.
Despite the dismissal of charges, the affair remains a dark cloud over his reputation. A spokesman at the International Monetary Fund, where Strauss-Kahn had to give up the leadership in the wake of his arrest, said that a visit was expected "as early as next week."

Ford raises F-150 prices, dealers begin ordering 2015 models
DETROIT, July 28 (Reuters) - U.S. and Canadian dealers on Monday began ordering 2015 Ford Motor Co F-150 pickup trucks, which are lighter than earlier models, priced higher and include additional standard features, the company said.
The launch of the new trucks with aluminum bodies is key for Ford as the F-150 pickups have been the best-selling vehicles in North America for 36 years and are profit centers for the No. 2 U.S. automaker.
The vehicle is on its way to continuing that streak this year.
Ford Chief Executive Mark Fields said last week the rollout of the new trucks was on target for first sales late this year, and he was confident they would launch without quality problems sometimes associated with new vehicles.
The base, or non-luxury, models - the XL work truck and the most popular version the XLT - will see prices rise $395 over F-150 pickups currently on sale. The XL base price will be $26,615 including destination charges, and the XLT will begin at $31,890.
Together, these two versions will account for up to 70 percent of F-150 sales, said company spokesman Mike Levine.
Levine said the higher prices were due to additional standard features in all five trim levels of the F-150, and not because of the greater cost of aluminum over steel.
The Lariat, the lowest priced of the luxury F-150s, begins pricing at $39,880, up $895. Levine said this version includes an eight-inch LCD screen and a rear-view camera as standard equipment.
The two highest-priced versions saw the biggest price increases. The King Ranch F-150 rose $3,615 to $49,460, and the Platinum version rose $3,055 to $52,155. Continued...

Just to clarify...
From 1115: "Lying under oath is perjury. And perjury, sir, is a crime."
As much as it pains me to say it, that's not quite right.
Explicit to the corpus delecti of "perjury" is the concept of "materiality." Lying under oath is at all times prosecutable, but it doesn't rise to the level of perjury unless the testimony offered has material relevance to a case.
This doesn't...uhm--materially alter the point 1115 is trying to make. Just a long standing quibble of mine. People get this wrong all the time. It's like the fucking 21st century! IT DID NOT START ON January 1, 2000, assholes! Your New Years' parties were thus TEH LAME!
This has been yet another generously offered public service.

With Kofi Owusu Aduonum
Real Madrid departed Camp Nou heads down and in silence last night. While five kilometres away Barcelona's fans spilled on to Las Ramblas in celebration, there was not a word from the men their team had defeated.
None of Real Madrid's players faced the media. José Mourinho did – on the night he suffered the worst defeat of his coaching career.
He conceded there could be no excuse. He also admitted he had spent the second half, during which he barely ventured from his dugout, merely watching the clock run down, knowing there was no way back.
"This is the first time I have ever been beaten 5-0," Mourinho said. "It is a historically bad result for us. It is not a humiliation but I am very disappointed. It is sad for us.
"But it is not difficult for me to swallow. What's difficult to swallow is when you lose a game because you have hit the post or the referee has been bad.
I have left here in that state before with Chelsea and Inter Milan but that was not the case tonight. It is easy for me to take because it is fair.
"We played very, very badly and they were fantastic.
We gifted them two goals that were bordering on the ridiculous. It is our own fault."

Ken and Julia Vaughan didn't plan to teach at Dakar Academy (DA) in Senegal, but like many other WorldVenture workers, the war in the Ivory Coast forced them to relocate. After 90 children from Ivory Coast Academy transitioned to DA, the Vaughans were asked by the administration at Dakar Academy to join them and teach. The Vaughans accepted the invitation.
"After the evacuation, many kids went straight from the war to DA," they said. "The kids didn't have any counseling or debriefing or anything."
The Vaughans were able to help these traumatized, stressed students, as they had also experienced the war trauma. When straight-A students started flunking, or children in a dormitory started panicking at the sound of fireworks (thinking they were gunshots), the Vaughans walked through the trauma and grief with them.
"We were able to see them, listen to those kids, and help them find some strategies to help work through some of those things," they said.
Since 1987, the Vaughans have taught the children of missionaries and other foreign workers. Julia taught art, even gathering her students to paint murals on the walls of remote village churches throughout Senegal. As an outreach, these murals encouraged Muslim villagers to step foot into churches they never would have before, just to see what Julia and her students had created.
Ken taught everything from Bible to science and math. One particular fifth grade class started with 13 students in a tiny classroom, but over the course of the semester grew to 23 students. Ken had to enter the room before the students, and no one could move around. However, the 23rd student was the daughter of a Pakistan ambassador. She loved to read, so Ken gave her "The Chronicles of Narnia," and eventually, through talks with Ken, she became a Christian.
"I was fine with having 23 kids in that little class if No. 23 became a Christian," said Ken.
Despite these highlights, the Vaughans faced many challenges, including having potential American supporters not support them because teaching TCKs was not "front line ministry." It took significant effort to educate people of the importance of TCK education, the Vaughans said.
Many students at DA struggled with perfectionism, which manifested itself in unhealthy ways. The Vaughans would help those students and sometimes point them to professional help.
"As missionary kids, they don't want to interfere with their parents' ministry and so they will hide problems that they have for those reasons," said the Vaughans.
Many Muslim students, the children of various government officials, attended DA because of its excellent reputation, and many of those students came to know Christ. Ken discipled one such student, Amir, who announced his commitment to Christ while the entire school cheered in excitement for him.
"It's been a joy to be able to take the gifts that God has given us and use it to grow the Kingdom in West Africa," said the Vaughans.
WorldVenture has previously explored the significance of third culture kid educators, including workers at Dakar Academy, as well as the myths many Christian Americans believe about TCK education.
WorldVenture has also featured many alumni whose years of ministry all over the world have influenced countless people for Christ. Read some of their stories here:

Technology Transfer: During the visit of China's president, and as China's new stealth fighter takes to the sky, America's top jet engine manufacturer agrees to provide Beijing with state-of-the-art aircraft technology.
The aircraft industry remains one of America's strongest manufacturing sectors, providing needed jobs and industrial sales. Already buffeted by the heavily subsidized European Airbus, it may also face stiffer competition one day from a Chinese behemoth buying what American technology it cannot steal.
General Electric plans this week to sign a joint-venture agreement under which it will share its most sophisticated airplane electronics, including technology from Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, with state-owned Aviation Industry Corp. of China, or Avic.
The agreement will supply the Chinese Comac C919, which is challenging Boeing and Airbus in the market for single-aisle jets with more than 100 seats. The C919, expected to carry up to 200 passengers, is intended to compete with Boeing's 737 and the Airbus 3200.
Analysts don't expect many sales outside of China. But the deal provides the base for a Chinese commercial aircraft industry expected to eventually challenge Western giants. China has surprised many in its ability to compete with the West in many areas.
Avionics are electronics that control an aircraft's basic in-flight operations. The risk is that in exchange for short-term sales, however significant, GE is providing a future industrial competitor with technology that also has military applications.
China recently rolled out its version of our fifth-generation F-22 Raptor fighter. Critics have said the Chinese J-20 will be in need of better avionics and more powerful jet engines to fulfill its ominous potential.
The GE deal supposedly forbids transfer of any technology to military applications. The joint venture to be headquartered in Shanghai will occupy separate offices from Avic's military division, and the computer systems involved are said to be incapable of transferring data to that division. Anyone working on the project is barred for two years from working on Avic's military projects.
Yet China's disrespect for intellectual property rights is legendary. So is its ability to hack into and retrieve information from computer systems worldwide. Paul Kurtz, who served on the National Security Council in both the Clinton and Bush administrations, recently spoke before the first open hearing on cybersecurity held by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Kurtz put industry's annual loss of intellectual property due to hackers at more than $200 billion annually. "American industry and government are spending billions of dollars to develop new products and technology that are being stolen at little or no cost by our adversaries," Kurtz said. "Nothing is off-limits — pharmaceuticals, biotech, IT, engine design ... weapons design."
As we've said, the Chinese will buy what they cannot steal, and we are all too willing to sell it to them for short-term gain. To do business in China, companies must share their proprietary technology with the Chinese. As a price for selling its cars there, General Motors, now a subsidiary of the U.S. government, had to share its technology with a Chinese competitor, SAIC Motor Corp.
We have seen the harmful effects of the transfer of "civilian" technology when we aided China's early space efforts. After the failed launch of a satellite built by Loral Space & Communications Ltd. and attached to a Chinese rocket in February 1996, Loral provided 200 pages of data to China's Great Wall Industry Corp. to correct the guidance system problems of their Long March rockets, which blew up 75% of the time.
A May 1997 classified Pentagon report concluded that Loral had "turned over expertise that significantly improved China's nuclear missiles" and that as a result "United States national security has been harmed."
According to the Pentagon, the technology that improved the Long March satellite launcher has also made the Dong Feng ICBM series more lethal.
Technology is fungible and can be used for good or ill. Whether enabling a future competitor or potential combatant, its transfer can come back to bite us.

We bought it when we lived in Cincinnati and I worked for Procter & Gamble. It was a one day drive (when I was a lot younger)!
Best beaches we found are nearby.
Peaceful, quiet, family oriented resort. Less than five minute walk to one of the biggest and best beaches on the East coast.
My family had a great time staying at this place. It was very clean, had fast Internet, and two flat screen televisions with premium channels. A beach cart with umbrellas, chairs and boogie boards were provided. It seemed like the entire complex was in the shade which is great for late August. The large pool was cooler than the smaller pool and we spent most of our time there. We did try the smaller pool when the complex scheduled volleyball. It was a lot of fun. The beach was only a few blocks from the complex and it was an enjoyable walk.
We rented bikes for the week and had a great time riding at night. We biked to Hilton Head Ice Cream one night and went exploring closer to Fiddler's Cove other nights. We also rented Waverunners at Island Watersports. Our favorite restaurants were Marley's Grill, Michael Anthony's, The Crazy Crab, and the Frosty Frog. This was our second vacation at Hilton Head.
The only negative parts were that the beach had a lot of jellyfish. I was stung in both feet. It was the first time I was stung. The pain wasn't that bad. We also had to get out of the ocean twice because of sharks. When we were in the ocean, it was beautiful. Unfortunately, we weren't in the ocean that much. My wife thought the condo needed some updating. I didn't mind.
We had a great time on Hilton Head Island again this year. Condo is always clean and well stocked with amenities for the week. Very close to the beach, pools and tennis courts. We will be back again next year.
The listing of the property and conditions were accurate. The beach chairs and wagon to carry stuff to the beach was an extra bonus. We enjoyed our family time at the beach and the pool everyday. The information provided by the owners (including the binder w/ WiFi, TV info etc) was very helpful. Tom and Pat communicated with us on time and were very helpful w/ answering our questions. We would definitely return and recommend this property to others.
The condo was very nice. It was very convenient to the beach and pool. quiet location.
We have been coming down to Hilton Head in March for many years now and can't remember a year when the weather was this warm and dry ... it was perfect. We really enjoyed our daily routine of tennis matches and hanging out at the pool and hot tub. Fiddler's Cove has a lot of amenities and very friendly people. We found everything in your unit clean and in good working order (including very comfortable beds and sofas). The only minor challenge was unjamming the lower oven drawer to get at your extensive collection of pots ... and we could have used a little less noise from the leaf blower man ;-). But in all seriousness, we have no complaints and thought it was a great value (we give you 5 stars for that). Thank you for providing us a home away from home and a wonderful holiday. We would certainly recommend your unit to others.
This was our second time at Fiddlers Cove and first time in this unit. The kitchen was a little outdated but overall is was a very comfortable and cozy unit. I loved that it was close to the tennis court and pool! The owners leave a binder full of information about everything you need to know to enjoy your stay. My husband and I loved it and would definitely stay here again!
The property is mid island,and centrally located; easily accessible to all attractions on the island

Edit Article
wikiHow to Act Like a Dauntless from Divergent
You have adored Four, Tris and Christina all your life. You have tried to act fearless and so on. A definitive guide to being a Dauntless.
1Fit your role. Wear black all the time. Wear a biker jacket with tank tops and lots of chunky and chain jewellery. You will get lots of options from EBay etc.
2Get a tattoo. Make sure to get one that has a personal link to you but it also must be mysterious enough for people to ask about it. However, if you are concerned with real tattoos, you can just buy those fake press-on ones and apply them every week or so to make it look real.
3Piercings. If you are afraid or uncomfortable with piercings, you can always get ones that are fake and non-body piercing.
4Swagger. This is very crucial. Just wearing black, chains and tattoos don't make you Dauntless. Achieve self confidence. Walk confident and careless. It makes you noticeable.
5Attitude. Dauntless have lots of it. Don't be rude, but firm and confident in what you're saying and doing. If someone criticizes you, stare them down as if you're going to pulverize them. Then act as if you're trying hard to control your anger [Just like Four !]
6Skill. Join classes or self-teach to use any weapon that is safe enough. You can also carry fake knives with you. However, people may see you as a criminal if you are carrying knives and report you to the police, so try to not do this so often.
7Self-control. The Dauntless have always achieved in overcoming their fears. If you are afraid of the dark, deliberately walk into a dark room and stay there. Control your breathing and everyday lengthen your time. You will be fearless and less-panicky in frightening situations.
Community Q&A
Do I have to wear black all the time?Eliza WeinbergerIn Divergent, the Dauntless do always wear black, that being the color of their faction, but they do wear other colors with the black, like purple or red, especially in the movie.

- One more way is to stand up to that cheerleader at school who's been bullying since time immemorial. [ Ordinary acts of bravery ]
- If someone repeatedly insults you, just chill then threaten.
- Dauntless is not about being unafraid, it is about dealing with fear productively. If you are afraid of heights, don't let that stop you from taking a plane to see family. It's about dealing with problems instead of complaining about them and staying inactive.
- Remember, being brave doesn't mean you have to be reckless. In fact, it shouldn't. So don't be reckless and get yourself hurt!
- If you see someone being bullied and/or harassed step in and stand up for him or her. Remember the dauntless belive in belive in "ordinary acts of bravery and the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.
- Do not carry or use guns in public.
- While self-teaching, do it in a safe place.
- Do not leap off trains. Dauntless basically live for this stuff. You do not!

mrsfontenot Review
We love this! It was perfect for our older model dishwasher in our apartment. Our landlord didn't get us a new dishwasher so we took matters into our own hands and bought this to cover up the "ugliness" of our dishwasher. This does the job perfectly, looks like a brand new dishwasher and it now matches our stainless steel automatic open trashcan and other appliances in the kitchen. I highly recommend this product and it does look like real stainless steel, no one can tell the difference between it and the real appliances. It does not look cheap or tacky, it reflects things like real steel and it was soft and the magnetic back was strong and sturdy. The product itself was easy to use and easy to cut to make it the perfect fit, the sticker strips for the back are nice and strong very adhesive. You WILL need a box cutter and a ruler/yardstick. We have used this for 4 months now and have no problems with it. As far as the price goes, I would not pay full price for it even though it's great I think the price should be lower maybe $25 - $35 but not $%%. I got this item with free shipping as I'm an o club member and I had a lot of store credit to use so I only paid $20 for it which is how much it should cost and is how much I feel comfortable paying for something like this. However, if you really really need it then it is worth it and it will last.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Perfectly
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Perfect!
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The description of the product was very accurate.

PCM Failure
By 99lightning on
Vehicle2007 Ford Fusion SEL 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
ReviewI am an electrical engineer with a very well known company that designs electrical hardware (controllers, sensors/switches, etc). That said, all of our major parts are expected to last the life of the vehicle without failure under normal conditions. Ford electrical engineering dropped the ball when it came to the PCM controller. I have 94k miles on the car and the controller failed for no reason other than to just crap out. Control modules shouldn't fail for normal system operation or emergent behavior. Why wasn't this caught in the numerous design reviews or performance/reliability testing? 2 of my 3 vehicles are Fords, I can't say that my next is going to be. This was easily preventable.
Best FeaturesAll wheel drive
Worst FeaturesPowertrain control module I/O response to voltage transients, over voltage, under voltage, short to ground, short to battery, open circuit, intermittent shorts/opens, A/C coupling from adjacent circuits/plug coils, EMI susceptibility, and reverse polaity would be a start for all I/O. I would specifically test the plug coil I/O for failure conditions when the coil is about to open or short. Determine the voltage spike/transient levels that are causing the PCM output FETs to blow and protect against it. This is a big black eye for Ford given the vehicle movement towards more electronic control. Makes me question their more involved electrical systems, like on the hybrids.

Medina Montessori School provides a fertile educational environment for children of today who will live in their world of tomorrow. As the children progress from year to year in this program, they will enjoy "learning how to learn" and use what they learn as they explore our wide world of knowledge.
Dr. Maria Montessori was the first woman physician of Italy. Her method and the structure of Montessori schools are based on her personal experience and attentive observation of the ways all children learn. It was through her philosophy of "follow the child"* that she found early childhood learning is mainly through experience—physical and sensorial. This prepares the older-child-to-be for social and intellectual learning that is relevant for success in today's technological world.
MMS offers a two-observation procedure before enrolling a child in the school. It is best parents make a separate appointment, before bringing their child for a visit. This first visit allows for observation of all the aspects of the school and the program. The second visit is a relaxed approach. The child and parent become members of our class, joining the children for about an hour.

Most people's natural instinct when they see a tornado approaching is to move very fast in the opposite direction, but not professional storm-chaser Roger Hill has made a career out it. Hill says: "I have seen over 670 tornadoes and I get as excited about each one as if it were the first one."
Hill uses a Canon 5d Mark II with a 16-35 L series lens, a 24-105 F4/L lens, and a 70-200 F2.8/L lens and a lightning trigger to capture daylight lightning with two Gitzo tripods to weigh down for steady shots.
He says: "I try to get us in a position where the storm's structure is to the west/northwest. That keeps you out of the intense lightning area as well as where heavy rain would fall. I am looking for a lightning that has a dark background that provides contrast to allow the bolt to stand out. I like the storm to cover up the sunlight and provide a silloute of the storm so all the features are easily seen and photographed. Most storms do not produce tornadoes, so being there at the right time and on the right storm that produces one can also be a bit lucky."

Like a feather in the wind
Poem by: Elzeranova
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
Like A Feather In The Wind
As I drift through this life of mine
I often wonder silently,
Is my life not the wind, and I a feather so fine?
Though I am free I walk no path
I simply float and glide
I am placid and flowing
Through death I cause no aftermath
And on the gentle lake
lies my reflection
I am but a feather,
Wind is the journey I take.

If you want to win, these are the guys you should have in your lineup.
QB: Andrew Luck – Indianapolis Colts
Look for Luck to start the season strong against the porous Raiders defense.
RB: Adrian Peterson – Minnesota Vikings
We expect Peterson to bring his A game against the staunch Lions defense.
WR: Andre Johnson – Houston Texans
Johnson will be electrifying against the Chargers secondary on Monday night.
You may want to avoid these three players this week as they have tough match-ups.
QB: Jake Locker – Tennessee Titans
Playing the Steelers defense in Pittsburgh is not a fun way to start the season.
RB: Eddie Lacy – Green Bay Packers
We like the rookie but not enough to start him against the 49ers.
WR: Steve Smith - Carolina Panthers
The Seahawks defense is scary good so it's hard to imagine Smith having a big day.

I was hoping to transition from my Jawbone to the LG HFB-500 hands free car kit, but I cannot get my Nokia e71x to search for this device, or, if it is searching for it, it apparently can't find it when the car kit is sitting right next to it. Help?
Here's what I'm doing:
1. Putting the LG HFB-500 in pairing mode by holding down the call button for 5 seconds. The led flashes on for two seconds, off for two seconds, which indicates it's in pairing mode.
2. On my phone I got to Menu -> Settings --> Bluetooth. My bluetooth is on and my phone's visibility is set to Shown to All.
3. I cursor over to the Paired Devices Screen. Options --> New Paired Device.
My understanding is that at this point, a window should pop up that says Searching For New Devices and then my phone should find the LG HFB-500 and I should be on my way to hands free happiness. But when I select New Paired Devices nothing happens. I've tried disconnecting and blocking my Jawbone first, and the same nothing happens when I hit New Paired Devices.
Am I missing something? I didn't have this kind of trouble with my samsung ear piece or my jawbone ear piece.
Go to Solution.
I just tried again, after setting the HFB-500 aside for a couple of weeks, and this time it worked! I swear I took the exact same actions - the only differences I can think of is I did it just now at home in the evening, versus in the morning at work.

Alarming statements come from US Congressman in Illinois who supports illegals and open borders.
In an interview with MSNBC, Luis Gutierrez threatens a militant uprising among immigrants over the halted amnesty order and the Republican Party's support of Donald Trump.
He said, "The militancy that will be activated throughout the immigrant community in terms of voter registration, voter participation, voter anger at the Republican party – you're going to see it in an unprecedented manner."
It isn't the first time Gutierrez has encouraged a violent uprising – when Donald Trump held his rally in Chicago, Gutierrez called for a "huge protest to drive Trump out of the city," a mission he and MoveOn.org achieved.

Title – Beyond Compare
Author: Linda Hoyland
Characters/Pairing: Aragorn, Eldarion
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Book/Source: LOTR book-verse
Disclaimer - These characters all belong to the estate of J.R.R. Tolkien. This story was written for pleasure and not for financial gain.
Beyond Compare
When Aragorn was an infant, the fairest sight on Arda was his mother's smile; when he was a boy; his greatest treasure was his favourite pony; as a young man; Arwen's beautiful eyes.
Later, the plains of Rohan had seemed fair; but lovelier still was the White City he hoped to rule. In time, such wonders paled, and nothing then seemed fairer than Imladris with his loved ones' smiles welcoming him home.
Aragorn had seen many wonders, but this sight was the greatest of all. His infant son's milk smeared face was beyond doubt the greatest treasure that Arda held.

Don't Know What To Do?

- Role play how to say no
- Family Meetings
- Build self-esteem
Talking To Children About Drugs and Alcohol
The issue of drugs and alcohol can be very confusing to young children. If drugs are so dangerous, then why is the family medicine cabinet full of them? And why do TV, movies, music, and advertising often make drug and alcohol use look so cool?
We need to help our kids distinguish fact from fiction. You may be wondering, "When should I be talking to my child about drugs and alcohol?" It's not too soon to begin. National studies show that the average age when a child first tries alcohol is 11 while for marijuana it's 12. Many kids start becoming curious about these substances even sooner!
In today's complex and busy world, it is frustrating how few chances there are to have conversations about drugs with our children. To ensure that you have regular get-togethers with your children, try to schedule regular parent-child rituals and family meetings. Rituals may consist of having meals together at least once or twice a week, playing games, going to the library, or to get ice cream together once a week. These can all be opportunities to help the family catch up and establish better and more open communication that is essential to raising drug-free children.
Role play how to say noRole play ways in which your child can refuse to go along with his friends without becoming a social outcast. Try something like this, "Let's play a game. Suppose you and your friends are at Andy's house after school and they find some beer in the refrigerator and ask you to join them in drinking it. The rule in our family is that children are not allowed to drink alcohol. So what could you say?"
If your child comes up with a good response, praise him or her. If they don't, offer a few suggestions like, "No, thanks. Let's play with Sony PlayStation instead," or "No thanks. I don't drink beer. I need to keep in shape for basketball."
Family MeetingsFamily meetings held once a week can also be extremely valuable. Suggestions for making these successful include having a mutually agreed-upon time once a week and clear ground rules to make everyone feel they get a chance to talk without fear of being criticized or punished. Ground rules that help are: Everyone gets a chance to talk; one person talks at a time without interruption; everyone listens; and only positive, constructive feedback is allowed. To get resistant children to join in, combine the get-together incentives such as post-meeting pizza or assign them important roles such as recording secretary or rule enforcer.
Build self-esteemKids who feel good about themselves are much less likely than other kids to turn to illegal substances to get high.
As parents, we can do many things to enhance our children's self-image. Here are some pointers:
- Offer lots of praise for any job well done.
- If you need to criticize your child, talk about the action, not the person. If your son gets a math problem wrong, it's better to say, "I think you added wrong. Let's try again."
- Assign do-able chores. A 6-year-old can bring her plate over to the sink after dinner; a 12-year-old can feed and walk the dog after school. Performing such duties and being praised for them helps your child feel good about their self.
- Spend one-on-one time with your youngster. Setting aside at least 15 uninterrupted minutes per child per day to talk, play a game, or take a walk together, lets them know you care.
- Say, "I love you." Nothing will make your child feel better.
Another way to talk to your children about drugs is to take advantage of everyday "teachable moments."
If you and your child are walking down the street, and you see a group of teenagers drinking and hanging out, talk about the negative effects of drinking alcohol.
Watch TV with your children and ask them what they think.
Whenever you see an anti-drug commercial on TV, use it as an opening to talk with your children about drugs. Ask them what they think about the commercial.
Most importantly, you can take some simple everyday actions that can make a big difference in children's lives:
- Listen to what they are saying
- Look at them when you are listening, make eye contact
- Find out how their day was, what happened in school, or with their friends
- Go to their events, i.e., sports games, plays, school shows
- Play games with them
- Talk with them
- Know who their friends are
- Know where your children are
- Set clear expectations for their behavior
- Be consistent in your training and discipline
- Give them lots of encouragement
- Create ways to have meaningful participation in their lives
- Ask them for their opinions
- Show them that they matter
- When they do well, praise them
- Talk to them about the dangers of substance use and abuse!

Constraints influencing sports wheelchair propulsion performance and injury risk
The Paralympic Games are the pinnacle of sport for many athletes with a disability. A potential issue for many wheelchair athletes is how to train hard to maximise performance while also reducing the risk of injuries, particularly to the shoulder due to the accumulation of stress placed on this joint during activities of daily living, training and competition. The overall purpose of this narrative review was to use the constraints-led approach of dynamical systems theory to examine how various constraints acting upon the wheelchair-user interface may alter hand rim wheelchair performance during sporting activities, and to a lesser extent, their injury risk. As we found no studies involving Paralympic athletes that have directly utilised the dynamical systems approach to interpret their data, we have used this approach to select some potential constraints and discussed how they may alter wheelchair performance and/or injury risk. Organism constraints examined included player classifications, wheelchair setup, training and intrinsic injury risk factors. Task constraints examined the influence of velocity and types of locomotion (court sports vs racing) in wheelchair propulsion, while environmental constraints focused on forces that tend to oppose motion such as friction and surface inclination. Finally, the ecological validity of the research studies assessing wheelchair propulsion was critiqued prior to recommendations for practice and future research being given.
Wheelchair sports such as basketball, rugby, tennis and racing e.g. 100 m through to the Marathon, are becoming increasingly popular for many athletes with disabilities and spectators, with the pinnacle for these athletes being the Paralympic Games. A potential issue for many wheelchair athletes is how to maximise the training-related gains in performance while minimising the risk of injuries
This narrative review/current concept article aims to: 1) use the constraints-led approach of dynamical systems theory to identify key constraints affecting wheelchair propulsion; and 2) critically evaluate a sub-set of relevant articles from the research literature on hand rim wheelchair propulsion during sporting activities; with the overall goal being to propose ways in which to improve wheelchair sporting performance and reduce injury risk. For the purposes of this review, performance measures can be viewed as direct (time to complete a set distance in a race, distance thrown during throwing events etc.) or indirect (VO2peak, strength, muscular power etc.). While injury rates are often defined as the number of injuries per 1000 hours of activity, no studies have compared the injury rates of Paralympic athletes under different forms of constraint. Thus, we used injury risk which is much harder to define. In this paper, insight into injury risk was mainly provided by the nature of the internal and external forces acting upon the body. As we found no studies that have directly utilised the dynamical systems approach to interpret their data in Paralympic athlete studies, we therefore thought it appropriate to conduct a narrative review of the literature for how common alterations to the three levels of constraints under which wheelchair locomotion is performed may alter performance and/or injury risk. While numerous organism, task and environmental constraints could be examined in such a narrative review of the literature, we have focused on selected examples of each of these constraints that we feel have the most relevance to these athletes. Specifically, organism constraints examined include player classifications, wheelchair setup, training and intrinsic injury risk factors. Task constraints examined the influence of locomotion (court sports vs racing) at various speeds, while environmental constraints focused on forces that tend to oppose motion such as friction and surface inclination. Finally, the ecological validity of the research studies assessing wheelchair propulsion was critiqued prior to recommendations for practice and future research being given.
Research methods
Relevant literature was found by inputting the keywords
Dynamical systems theory
The constraints led approach views the outcome and coordination of movement as the result of the manner in which the three levels of constraints (environmental, task and organism) under which the movement is performed interact
Figure 1
An example of how the three levels of constraints interact and create functional variability (adapted from Davids et al., 2008)
An example of how the three levels of constraints interact and create functional variability (adapted from Davids et al., 2008).
Organism constraints refer to unique characteristics a person has, such as level of disability, that influence the manner in which their movements are performed. In Paralympic wheelchair sports, the wheelchair-user interface can be viewed as the organism through which performance and injury risk need to be evaluated. Environmental constraints are global extrinsic factors that can impact movement co-ordination whereas task constraints are more specific to performance and include task goals, specific rules associated with a sport and activity related implements or tools
The concept of functional movement variability is another dynamical systems theory principle that may be relevant to coaches, sports science and medicine staff who work with Paralympic athletes. Functional variability can be viewed as the ability to adopt a flexible (variant) movement control strategy that enables the athlete to perform at a consistently high level even when the interaction of the three levels of constraints have changed
Organism constraints
Constraints discussed in this section reflect those factors influencing the wheelchair-user interface. Selected articles on player classification, wheelchair set-up, training and intrinsic injury factors and their impact on wheelchair locomotion are examined.
Player classification
The wheelchair sports of basketball, rugby, tennis and racing are all included in the Paralympics and each sport has functional classifications which takes into account each person's organism constraints, i.e. the extent of their impairment. This is one of the most critical issues in wheelchair sports as the functional classification allows the grouping of players with a similar level of functional capacity based on their ability to perform movements. This aims to eliminate competitive inequalities due to the greater or lesser severity of the impairment of different athletes
Under the system used by the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF), players are categorised based on their physical capacity in terms of playing skills, and the trunk movement and stability observed during pushing, pivoting, shooting, rebounding, dribbling, passing and catching
Figure 2
An example of a low point wheelchair basketball wheelchair

Figure 3
An example of a high point wheelchair basketball wheelchair
An example of a high point wheelchair basketball wheelchair.
Very little research has been conducted to examine performance differences in wheelchair team sports athletes of different classifications. Malone and colleagues
Players in different classification categories may also have somewhat different injury risks. According to a study by Reid, Elliot and Alderson
Chair set up
With the increased popularity of wheelchair sports, new wheelchair designs are being continually developed to improve aspects such as acceleration, maximal speed and turning capacity and to prevent tipping over so to fit specific sport needs
For example, a comparative study by Coutts
Lowering the seat, and therefore decreasing the vertical distance between the axle and the shoulder, makes more of the hand rim available for the push cycle, increasing the push angle and contact time between hand and rim. Kotajarvi et al.
A low seat angle achieved by increasing the wheel camber, as shown by the wheelchair in Figure
Figure 4
An example of a low point wheelchair rugby wheelchair
An example of a low point wheelchair rugby wheelchair.
As the results of these and other studies provide some indication of the effect of altering certain aspects of chair design, coaches and sport scientists should seek to use such information when determining the optimal chair design for these athletes. As the organism level constraints for each athlete may change somewhat over time due to training, injury or the effect of neurodegenerative diseases, continuing assessment of chair design should be performed. The interested reader should also consult Burkett and Mellifont (2008) who used a similar theoretical approach when seeking to improve the performance of the six-strong Australian cycling team at the 2004 Paralympic Games by testing the effect of a number of potential changes in bike setup.
Strength and conditioning training is an important component for most Olympic sports, with many more Paralympic sports also starting to utilise this mode of training in order to reduce the organism constraint of their disability. While a variety of exercise modes have been shown to significantly increase muscular strength and power and aerobic fitness in non-athletic individuals with a disability
Turbanski and Schmidtbleicher
Injury to the individual will act as an organism level constraint that may alter movement patterns, reduce subsequent performance and further increase the risk of future injuries to the same area. Many studies have described the importance of studying propulsion biomechanics to prevent injury not only in sport performance but also in daily life for wheelchair users. Since Paralympic athletes use their upper extremity for all mobility and daily functional tasks (with many of these individuals using wheelchairs for their mobility needs), an injury to the upper extremity from sport use can be detrimental to all activities of daily living and their overall quality of life
The shoulder girdle is the primary source of power in most activities performed by wheelchair users but it is designed for freedom of movement rather than repetitive loading so manual wheelchair users are prone to many injuries of the upper limb, especially to the shoulder
However, there is some evidence that the stroke patterns used by wheelchair athletes may be associated with injury risk
Although included in the organism level constraint section, we must reinforce the importance of how the three levels of constraints interact to alter the injury risk (by example, altering stroke patterns and mechanics) and that injury risk is not isolated to the organism alone. To gain more insight into the determinants of injury risk, an examination of the interaction of intrinsic (organism) and extrinsic (task and environmental) constraints need to be considered. Some of the task and environmental constraints that may potentially have an effect on an individuals' injury risk and performance are in the sections to follow.
Task constraints
Wheelchair athletes participating in sports such as basketball, rugby and tennis would encounter a range of task and environmental constraints that differ to those encountered by track athletes, as they must frequently accelerate and decelerate, change direction at speed and perform sport-specific skills to adjust to the task constraints during the course of a game. It would appear likely that these differences in constraints encountered would alter hand rim propulsion biomechanics in ways that may impact on the overall training required to maximise performance as well as the injury risk to the upper extremities. Differences and similarities in wheelchair propulsion at various speeds between wheelchair racing and court sports will therefore be covered in the following sections.
Wheeled sports
The most important goal for wheelchair racing is to obtain and sustain a greater average velocity than your opponents. An example of a class T54 wheelchair racer is shown in Figure

Unsurprisingly, a number of studies
In order to obtain maximum speed (momentum), the athlete must be able to apply an increasingly large propulsive force to the hand rim over an ever-decreasing period of time to achieve a high net impulse
Court sports
Unlike wheelchair racing where the specific movement dynamics may involve starting, accelerating, steady-state wheeling and deceleration phases, the task constraints in wheelchair ball sports like basketball, rugby and tennis also involve braking, change of direction, striking, catching, physical contact with opponents and/or blocking
Goosey-Tolfrey et al.
The results of these studies examining the effect of different task constraints type of sport (racing vs court) and indirectly the effect of speed have a number of implications. They suggest that to develop sufficient levels of functional variability to perform well in different competitive conditions and tasks and minimise injury risk, Paralympic athletes need to train utilising some variations of the three levels of constraint that they will likely encounter in competition. If such specific training is not performed e.g. wheelchair rugby players only performing straight line rather than change of direction sprinting or training not reflecting the time-motion characteristics of the sport, performance will be reduced and injury risk likely increased.
Environmental constraints
A variety of environmental constraints, for example increasing resistive forces, may pose a range of difficulties for those in hand rim propelled wheelchairs. Although wind, temperature and humidity may all be environmental constraints that influence wheelchair propulsion, the friction of the surface beneath the wheelchair and between the user and the wheelchair as well as the incline of the surface appear to be the most commonly assessed environmental constraints in this area
Friction and surface inclination
Friction is an important type of force between the user's hand and the hand rim as well as the wheel and ground that will have an impact on wheelchair sport performance and injury risk. For example, a sufficient amount of axial force, the portion of the total force that is directed toward the axle, is needed to help maintain friction between the hand and the hand rim, otherwise the hand may slip
Goosey-Tolfrey (2010) found that because of the limited hand function that wheelchair rugby players often possess, these players may need to use adaptive equipment in the form of gloves and or hand rim modifications to increase the hand-hand rim friction so to improve their ergonomics of propulsion. Research by Coutts
Koontz et al.
The study by Richter et al.
Figure 6

Stylized illustration of stroke pattern classification during wheelchair propulsion. The hand contacts the rim at the top, is constrained to follow the hand rim during the push but the user is free to choose how to follow through between pushes. In the arcing pattern, the user's hand travels back along the hand rim between pushes (adapted from Richter et al.
Specificity using the constraints approach
The constraints-led approach suggests that to get the desired result and reduce injury risk during training, the organism, task and environment constraints of the movements performed in training should be similar to what is expected in competition. As biomechanics aims to provide insight into the underlying causes of human movement and to relate these causes to performance, and consequences such as injury, human movement should be studied under realistic constraints to action. On this basis, simulating manual wheelchair propulsion on lab-based ergometers can then be considered a deflection from reality which may alter the movement and/or performance and consequently the relationship between the parameters under study
The laboratory ergometer has been used in many research studies examining wheelchair propulsion
The predominance of lab-based ergometers studies may be due to historical constraints in instrumentation
A number of researchers
As the number of wheelchair users who are participating in wheelchair sport is growing worldwide, it is important to increase the understanding of the biomechanics of wheelchair propulsion to improve performance and decrease the risk of injury. The constraints-led approach is a useful tool when examining the outcome and coordination of a hand rim wheelchair user's movement, and will assist the Paralympic athlete and coach better develop their overall training programme.
No single constraint can be considered in to isolation, so how the three levels of constraint interact is paramount to understanding wheelchair propulsion performance and injury risk during sport. The interaction of organism constraints such as players' disability, classification level and chair set up will likely be important factors to consider when developing the appropriate training programme required by a wheelchair athlete to perform at their best whilst also reducing the risk of injury.
It is evident that while wheelchair athletes in racing and court sports all need to accelerate and achieve high speeds, they have very different task constraints that need to be considered, along with environmental constraints such as friction both between the user and wheelchair and wheelchair and ground. Unfortunately, very little empirical evidence is available on what constitutes appropriate training for these different groups of Paralympic athletes' and how they may use functional variability when adapting their propulsion biomechanics to the variations in environmental conditions.
It is clear that much of the literature is almost 20 years old, based on using wheelchairs on ergometers, and even using able bodied individuals as subjects. Much research still needs to be done to fully understand the biomechanics involved in hand rim wheelchair propulsion in sport especially with the ever evolving wheelchair technologies. This research needs to use the appropriate subjects, be performed in ecologically valid, real-world environments and investigate the vast array of wheelchair sports that are now available.

I tried to stay still but it was very hard,Ipeered from behind the Caterpillar to see what they looked like. it was a very wierd creature. I looked looked like a dog but. it was bigger, there were black. But they eyes shone red.
"Where is she, We have to find her" The first one growled
"Dont blame me I told you to she wasnt here I said check the Hatters house you know he has been spying on human world waiting for Alice" The secand shot back.
"I checked there those Mad people are having a tea party and only tell me about the Riddle Lets go back to the Castle" With they turned away. I sighed with relife I wanted to go home, home to safety.
"Can you help me get home?" I whispered
"Dear Melody where is home ? with your mother? or your Grandma? or with with Hatter?" he questioned me, I didnt know how to awsner.
"Melody, you can only leave once you figure out where your home is"
"But I do know where my home it is with my grandma's house there is no oter home" I stated back hoping it was true.
But he began to dissapear in the smoke "If you belive so new Alice you will do fine" I tried to find my through the smoke, and ended up out side the Hatters house again.
He stood up at the Table "Melody Hide you have to hide! She knows your here" He ran over to me. he grabbed my wrist but I cried out in pain, so he picked me up and put me over his shoulder and ran into his house. He ran straight up his stairs and into his bedroom and set me down on his bed.
"Hide Melodys she here. Isabella has come for a new hat you cannot be seen ok?" The hatter seemed Frightened for my well fare so I nodded. I got up and hid in his Warbdrbe when he lfet the room. Trying to steady my breathing.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
In 2007, My wife and I contacted a J.K. Harris representative because we owed back taxes after getting bad advice from an accountant. J.K. Harris assured us that they would be able to assist us to resolve the issue. After spending $3000.00 and receiving no real assistance to solve our tax problem, we had to solve the problem ourself to the tune of $20,000.00 dollars (refinanced our home). My wife and I have been unable to get our money back from them.
Currently J.K. Harris is running advertisements constantly on television about how they are helping resolve tax problems and it causes me much pain, discomfort, and suffering to see those commercials in light of what they did to my family. I would like to do Public service announcements or start a class action suit against J.K. Harris for my family and those that I have read about online. Can you give me some direction on how to bring the indiscretions of this company to the light of day similar to how their commercials are spreading in the public?

Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX
PURPOSE: Introduction: Studies have shown strong association between insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus(DM) and sleep apnea (OSA). Ethnic variance in the prevalence of DM in patients with OSA documented by full polysomnography (PSG) has not been well described. The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of DM in a cohort of Hispanic and Caucasian patients with OSA and to assess PSG related differences, particularly in REM sleep, in that cohort if any.
METHODS: A retrospective chart review of 521 selected patients (255 Hispanic, 266 Caucasian) with OSA was carried out. All patients had undergone full night baseline PSG. We excluded charts of patient who underwent split-night studies and those who did not have any REM sleep. DM was assessed based upon patient self-identification on our standard sleep and medical history questionnaire.
RESULTS: Of 521 patients 32.43% had self-reported DM –there was a significantly higher proportion of DM amongst Hispanics vs. Caucasian (36.86% vs. 28.19% respectively; p = 0.008). Patients with DM, as a group were older, in both ethnicities. No differences were seen in any of the PSG variables such as AHI, REM AHI, O2 nadir, and minutes spent with O2 saturation <85% between patients with DM and those without, in either ethnic cohort.(table 1).
CONCLUSION: There is a high prevalence of DM in a unselected cohort of patients with PSG-proven OSA. The prevalence is significantly more in the Hispanic population.Differences in PSG parameters do not account for presence of DM nor are they predictive of the observed ethnic differences.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Patients with OSA should routinely be screened for presence of glucose intolerance. Routine PSG parameters do not reliably differentiate those patients with DM from those without - further studies are needed to define what other PSG findings, if any, may prove to be helpful in predicting presence of glycemic intolerance.
