Shore Health Systems, Easton, MD
SESSION TYPE: Physiology/PFTs/ Rehabilitation I
PRESENTED ON: Sunday, October 21, 2012 at 01:15 PM - 02:45 PM
PURPOSE: Both Airflow Perturbation Device (APD) and Impulse Oscillometry (IOS) are devices developed to measure airway resistance. Each utilizes very different methodologies. Limited data exist comparing the devices, particularly in patients with abnormal pulmonary function. This study examines how the two devices compare both with each other and standard spirometry.
METHODS: Consecutive patients referred for pulmonary function testing were asked to consent to additional testing with APD and IOS. Subjects were seated, nose clips applied, and airflow was measured during normal tidal breathing through an antimicrobial filter mouthpiece. With APD, airflow is perturbed by a rotating wheel which briefly interrupts airflow at a frequency of 10 Hz. The mouth pressure to airflow ratio is used to calculate inspiratory and expiratory airway resistances. IOS analyses the reflection of pressure impulses of 5 - 20 Hz.
RESULTS: Forty eight subjects enrolled. Male:female ratio was 15:33. Three African-American and 45 Caucasians were tested; 34 patients were current or former smokers. Average BMI was 30.2 ± 6.7 (mean ± SD, range 17.7 - 42.4) and average age was 61 ± 11 years (range 37 - 86). Baseline spirometric values: mean FVC of 85% predicted ± 22, mean FEV1 of 84% predicted ± 30, FEV1/FVC of 70% ± 16. Average APD inspiratory resistance (APD ins) and expiratory resistance (APD exp) correlated well with R5 (R2= 0.802). APD exp correlated more strongly with R5 than APD ins. There was no correlation between APD exp-APD ins and AX (area of reactance) and very weak correlation with Fres (Resonant Frequency) (R2 = 0.17). APD and IOS correlated only weakly with spirometric values.
CONCLUSIONS: APD and IOS demonstrated strong correlation in a spectrum of patients with normal lung function and restrictive and obstructive lung disease. These airflow resistance measurements were not well predicted by spirometry.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: As a quick and effort independent test that correlates well with IOS, APD has the potential to provide easily obtained, useful information regarding lung function status not available through spirometry.

It was the year 2007 and it was June 25th. Lance, Rupert and Tyler were in a very respectable shop and were looking for a torch because they Lance was having balckouts at his house. Rupert and Tyler accompanied him because Lance didn't know what type of torch he wanted and needed advice.
So they went to the Science Discovery shop in the city centre. They were looking around and Tyler had pointed out some very worthy torched, but of course, Lance wanted a special torch, one that showed his personality. He picked up a long, thin, metallic torch like stick.
"Tyler, if you might cast your eyes over here, i do believe that i have discovered a torch of sufficient quality." called Lance. Tyler wandered over to Lance slowly.
"Fine, does it work?" queried Tyler. He was bored, they had been looking for torches for almost an hour and had only been in two shops.
"I have not put the utensil into use previously, i was merely waiting for your approval before i gave the tool it's debut usage".
"Well, just do it. We've been here for an hour and I'm bored stiff".
Lance reached for the torch and tried to flick the switch but it was stuck.
"Ah, the light bearing object seems to have a blockage in his switch mechanism." commented Lance.
Tyler leant into try and push the switch upwards while Lance was still trying and suddenly it moved. Flames leapt out of the top of the 'torch' and Tyler screamed as they came into contact with his eye as he tried to help.
"Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! screamed Tyler. "My eye! Aaarrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!". He collapsed onto the floor, still screaming.
Rupert leapt into action.
"Ambulance!! Someone call an ambulance! His eye is on fire! HELP!" he yelled. Meanwhile Lance was in shock as the flames were still flickering out from the top of the 'torch' (lighter). It slipped out of his hand as he fainted onto the floor in a crumpled heap. The flames from the lighter had caught onto the packs of playing cards with robots on them and the fire was spreading. The fire alarm sounded and before everyone knew it, the whole shopping centre was being evacuated. People in the shop who were staring at this spectacle turned and ran out of the shopping and into the fleeing masses who were crowded in the mall on this Saturday afternoon.
While people were panicking, someone had managed to find a fire extinguisher and aimed it at the fire that had turned the desk into a blackened lump of burnt wood and had melted the plastic night vision goggles. The shop manager was trying to wake up Lance but to no avail. He was out for the count. Tyler was still writhing around on the floor and the man with the fire extinguisher had turned the fire extinguisher on him. Then the paramedics arrived and took him away on the stretcher after giving him pain medication first and oxygen. Rupert thought about following, but decided to stay with Lance. He was woke up with an abrupt start when the fire extinguisher was turned on his head from point blank range. Rupert thought that the man was enjoying using the extinguisher. Maybe he would buy him one for his troubles.
"Lance?" asked Rupert in a quiet voice. "Can you hear me?"
"Excuse me?" answered Lance faintly. He still used sophisticated language, even though he had fainted after burning his brother's eye out. "What has occurred here?"
Rupert didn't wuite know how to put it. "Umm well, you set fire to Tylers eye and most of the shop. The whole place has been evacuated and Tyler has gone to hospital. Oh and you owe that man the money for a fire extinguisher." Rupert glanced over to the man who was still standing there and now was rubbing his fingers together as if to say 'Where's my money mate?'
Lance looked astounded. "Come on mate, lets get home", said Rupert, helping Lance up and they slowly paid the man and started off home.

Wolferaine - DeathMature
Yes, she was immortal.... wait why was I sooo excited.... Neh. I was thrown into class and then suddenly turns out a kid is dead.
I jump out of my seat the teacher shouting after me. I wave a hand and no noise leaves his lips from the air not sending out his words.
I run straight to the room where someone had died. Don't ask me how I know.
I go and kneel next to the body of the dead harpie.
"What are you doing here?" the teacher shouts.
"Angel" I say then look back at the body. I put a hand to the head and mumble words to help his soul pass on.
"Hmm, I'm hungry" I say. I jump up and walt out the room everyonestaring after me.
I go to the canteen. "Can I have something to eat?" I ask. The women nods and hands over a pot of pasta.
I scoff it down, not even stopping when it burns my throat. I need to eat. I finish then go out side. I take off into the sky.
I need a break from that place. I begin to fly up then stop. I fly back down seeing the blue haired fallen angel.
I watch with curiousity. "I swear I've seen you before I call" I shout.
The girl turns and I gasp..... No.
"Sis" I say shocked and her eyes widen. I watch as memories file through her head.

Do you have 10 mins to spare?
Good Evening all,
As a few of you may know I have been studying for my master's degree and the time has come for me to conduct my dissertation.
I am here to ask a big favour...
I am looking for a number of participants to take part in my research which is around shopping and retail environments (so nothing controversial!!)
The experiment is based on a number of questions in order for me to gather opinions and should only take around 10 mins to complete....depending on how much or how little you have to say!
It would very much help me out if you would like to take part and I would greatly appreciate any time you can spare.
If you are indeed interested, please send me a private message and I will explain fully about the experiment.
I should mention that any research conducted is approved by the board of ethics and participants are free to withdraw at any time. All data is kept confidential and no names will be required so each participant remains anonymous. Also I am the only person who will have access to the data.
Thank you for reading so far and I hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes,

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I came to the US for my master's degree and now have a work permit. If I married my boyfriend, who is a US citizen, what would be the process that I would have to follow and what's the timeline I should have in mind? Also, do I need to have an attorney for the process, or is it something we can do ourselves?
After your marriage, you have to file certain Applications with USCIS (I-130, I-485, I-765, and I-131 if you wish to travel while waiting for your permanent residency). The time frame is rather difficult to predict, but from my experience is anywhere from 5-12 months until you are scheduled for an interview.
Keep in mind that if you are approved, you will be receiving a conditional green card for a period of 2 years and will have to file another petition with USCIS before your green card expires. Also, I do suggest hiring an attorney. It is always a good idea, because immigration laws are rather complicated and before you file anything you should have an experienced attorney review all the factors in your case.Ask a similar question
Thank you for the information and your advice. My following concern was that even if I do not receive my GC, would I get an EAD/work permit meanwhile, and discontinue my current H1b visa?
once you file everything you should receive your EAD within 3-4 months. Good Luck
Once you and your fiance have married, you can apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident. Your husband would need to file a petition for you, and you would simultaneously file your application for adjustment of status. If all goes well, the process, including your interview, should be completed within approximately six months.
Using the services of an experienced immigration attorney is a good idea. An experienced attorney will be able to advise you as to what documents you will need, guide you in getting them, and instruct you as to what things you will need to do to get the filing done quickly and with little aggravation. An experienced attorney will also be able to make certain that there are no potential problems, or to be prepared for those which might exist. While many people go through this process themselves, the assistance and guidance of an experienced attorney often proves invaluable.
Good luck to both of you!
This answer is of a general nature and should not be relied upon as final, nor is it intended as legal advice. A consultation with an experienced attorney is always the best way to go.Ask a similar question
There are several application forms you will need to complete and provide supporting documents. You will need to go for a medical exam and get fingerprints. You should get your green card in 6-8 months.Ask a similar question
If you both will live in Washington, D.C. after getting married, you will be interviewed at the Fairfax, VA USCIS office. Current wait time for an interview at that office is approximately 3-4 months. I agree with my colleagues that working with counsel makes the process much smoother.

FLASH MOB: Those in Glass Houses Should Not Throw Rave Parties (Forks)
Date: 2011-10-21, 8:30PM
Reply to: hissingswan (at) craigslist (dot) org
But since I don't own the home, I'm throwing one instead! Why, you ask?
6 years ago my ass of an ex dumped me in the fraking woods, deliberately abandoning me in a spot from which I couldn't find my way home. At the expense of $3500 to Callum County's emergency department, I was finally found at 4 a.m., but was in the hospital for over a week recovering from hypothermia and emergency surgery for the loss of two toes and a fingertip. Said ex and his lovey-dovey family skipped town with not even a good bye.
Well, after years of alternative therapy, and some new found confidence I found after a life altering trip to Italy to work on my Master's degree, I'm back. Further, thanks to Callum County Circuit court finally ruling in favor of my lawsuit against that freaky pack of suckers, I am now in legal possession of the whole contents of the abandoned mansion they once called home. They didn't show, I won by default. However, I was already in the illegal possession of most of the stuff in there anyways. Shouldn't have shown me where the hidden key and the alarm pass code was, suckers!
So, the art work, historical valuable objects, and any miscellaneous cash I found is long gone. (How the frak do you think I paid for going to Italy for my Master's degree?) What is left is closets upon closets of 6 year old designer fashions, all the furnishings, a CD collection from hell (who knew there were 73 CDs of Burt Bacharach?), a library full of books, a stocked garage full of tools, and other junk galore.
The court order says if it can be carried out, its mine. Which means its yours!
Party starts at 8:30. BYOB and BYOF - the kitchen is empty and I'm on a liquid diet, so suck it. Anyone over 6 foot 3 from the Rez WILL be made to wear a dress from my ex-BFF's closet. I have needle and thread and will make it fit. Hey, most cost over $2000 off the rack, so don't whine!
Rules: No fires - what-so-ever - so leave the bongs at home. I'll be hauling out the contents of the house room by room and throwing stuff out the windows to make it easier to get stuff on the front lawn. If something hits you in the head, its your own damn fault. If you must have sex, use the baby grand piano as the house is free of beds. I will be taking pictures, so exhibitionists are welcome. I suspect my ex was too busy jerking off on the keys of said piano, which is why he never let me to touch him. The piano stays, btw. I lost my virginity on top of it a few years ago with a turd from high school that my ex absolutely hated. I want to leave something for him to remember me by.
Since water has been shut down to the house for years, I will be setting up a Port-o-Potty in the garage on top of a 2006 Volvo S60's open moon roof. That car is NOT available as a party favor. It must remain in the garage when done. I'll leave the back windows down so guys don't have to wait in line to climb onto the roof.
Anyone still standing will be chased away an hour before dawn. You do not want to see my sparkling personality during the day.
To find the party, drive down Division highway leaving Forks about three miles. I'll have all kinds of pukey-pukey twinkle lights lighting up the driveway entrance at 8:30 on the dot. Don't try to show up early - you won't be able to find the way before then.

Rather than looking at this as a way of the TIP calling into the JIP to update counters, I started thinking about this as the TIP deciding what has changed in its state and informing about the change to the JIP. Then JIP decides to update its state (basically the counters) based on this information. This is a really good separation of ownership. However, Arun, Rahul and I looked into making this change into the current code base and fell out of confidence with respect to the level of change it was causing. Given this point, we now feel that my original suggestion [here|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1143?focusedCommentId=12784077&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_12784077], while agreeably not as good as Owen's, is a *safer* and more localized change to implement than the alternate proposal. And we suggest taking that approach to fix this JIRA. A rewrite of this status update code is really long overdue, and it would anyway be done in the manner Owen is proposing, but in a separate JIRA.

Dickens 2.0
A plot description of A Christmas Carol would be superfluous for anyone who has lived in this country for at least one holiday season. Those who didn't grow up with the Charles Dickens novella have undoubtedly encountered any one of the hundreds of adaptations the 1843 book has undergone for film, television, and the stage, from a Bill Murray comedy to a 3-D animated film to a Dr. Who special. Its presence is an inevitability. If Dickens had achieved immortality, he would be the world's richest man on royalties alone, though if he truly believed in his book's morality, he would give most of his riches away. Each year, Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre (180 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables) produces its own musical theater version of the classic, courtesy of Earl Maulding, who co-wrote the script, music, and lyrics, as part of the company's family programming. A cast of roughly 20, including several prodigious kids, will take the stage in period costumes to re-enact the ghostly morality play in all its timeless humbuggedness. Maulding's version, which aims to appeal to younger generations as well as their parents, is filled with creatively imagined sequences, including a surprise entrance from the second spirit and an homage to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. Seriously. Showtimes are 2 p.m. Saturdays from December 1 through 22, with special shows at 7 p.m. December 22 and 3 p.m. December 23. Tickets cost $22.50. Call 305-444-9293 or visit actorsplayhouse.org.
Saturdays, 2 p.m.; Sat., Dec. 22, 7 p.m.; Sun., Dec. 23, 3 p.m. Starts: Dec. 1. Continues through Dec. 22, 2012

Washington D.C., Oct. 28 : Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is amazed by Lamar Odom's ongoing recovery and has termed it as 'remarkable.'
Talking to reporters after a Lakers practice, Bryant said "He's (Lamar Odom) a brother above everything else, adding that it was important to see him get back on his feet, TMZ reports.
The 37-year-old said that it was amazing to see him doing so well and it truly was remarkable.
Earlier, Bryant even visited Lamar in the hospital at Las Vegas after the brothel incident in Nevada. (ANI)

By Michael Hiestand, USA TODAY
Versus will formally announce Tuesday that being outspoken or outrageous — or is it obnoxious? — can lead to getting your own national TV talk show.
Even while you're still an active NFL player.
Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens, new Cincinnati Bengals teammates whose respective VH1 reality shows recently wound down, will now move on to their own The T.Ocho Show, a taped talk show on Comcast-owned Versus that kicks off with a preview Tuesday night.
Ochocinco says the show will focus on football but might also touch on "baseball and hockey. With my love of soccer, I'll throw that in. And porn. I'm doing amateur porn, so I'll throw that in. … Do you understand how dangerous this is for us to have a stage like this?"
Says Owens: "There will be topics where Chad and I will get in trouble. We'll talk about issues that aren't talked about in the mainstream media. It's an opportunity for two of loudest mouths who've been in the league."
Well, yes, when you put like that. The show, billed as the first-ever weekly national talk show featuring active NFL players, will be previewed Tuesday night and run for the next five weeks on Tuesday nights with Owens and Ochocinco doing segments in Versus' The Daily Line show (11 ET). On Oct. 12, The T.OchoShow debuts as a stand-alone, to follow Versus' NHL games starting at 10:30 p.m. ET.
The idea for the show, says Versus programming vice president Andy Meyer, became obvious "the minute" that Owens signed with the Bengals and "their Batman and Robin relationship got going." That pairing, he suggests, will serve as a sort of booster rocket for two players who were already well off the media launch pad: "They'd already had significant accomplishments as personalities."
Meyer adds that "we'd love this to be the creation of a new genre of television" where athletes can speak "without layers of editors and beat writers filtering them out."
Owens sounds game. "Some guys get on TV shows and put on their media hats and turn their back on players," he says. "I'm not going to be a brown-noser for nobody. This is something probably a lot of people don't want to see. There'll be jealous people who'll criticize it, just like they criticized my reality show."
That reality show was so behind-the-scenes that viewers saw Owens in sessions with his therapist. The Versus show, he suggests, will also offer up subjects that usually stay behind closed doors. "I don't want to get into a race issue, but when you look at the media talking about (player) holdouts, it's usually about African-Americans," says Owens, noting heavy coverage of New York Jet Darrelle Revis' holdout before he signed a new contract Monday. "When do you see Caucasians shown just trying to get their money? Why is that never talked about? We'll stick out our chests and advocate for guys trying to get paid for what they deserve."
Owens says he's been told he's "a natural in front of cameras" but doesn't see himself going into sportscasting after retiring from the NFL. Ochocinco, who culled through 85 bachelorettes for his The Ultimate Catch VH1 reality show — "it's just what I do in offseasons, but with cameras following me" — figures he'll "go for the whole 9 yards" in post-football media. "Now, I'm setting myself up so I can do whatever I want."
But Ochocinco suggests for now, he and Owens have a unique angle: "What will be refreshing for everybody is we play the game. You'll live the game through us."
Or at least get a taste of its woofing.
Theismann is back:
The NFL Network, on its eight late-season prime time games, will get Joe Theismann back to calling NFL action.
He'll work in a three-man booth with returning NFLN game announcers Matt Millen and Bob Papa.
ESPN dropped the longtime analyst from its Monday night games in 2007 and offered to let him call college football, which he declined in hopes of landing an NFL on-air spot.
Theismann, who will continue to appear on NFLN's NFL Playbook studio show on Thursdays, said Monday he doesn't "really know the thought process" behind his hiring for NFLN games that starts with Baltimore-Atlanta on Nov. 11. "But I'm ecstatic. I really am."
Eisen's new role:
The NFL Network will formally announce Tuesday that its most prominent face, Rich Eisen, will this season host its four-hour Sunday morning NFL pregame show. Eisen replaces Spero Dedes, who will call some CBS NFL games.
Eisen, through a new multiyear NFLN deal, will continue to host NFLN's Sunday afternoon highlights show. But he'll no longer work its Sunday night wrapup. "I loved that show more than any other in my career," said Eisen Monday. "But there's only so many hours in a day."
Eisen will also produce weekly podcasts, the first-ever for the NFL's website.
Captain Courier?
CBS tennis analyst Jim Courier, on CBS' U.S. Open coverage Monday, discussed (ESPN2 analyst) Patrick McEnroe announcing Monday that he's stepping down as U.S. Davis Cup team captain. "Davis Cup means the world to me," said Courier. "I'm definitely interested in the job. So hopefully, they'll give me a call and we'll chat about it."
Another way to chat with Courier: He'll be featured in a Lunchtime Live USATODAY.com online chat — open to all at 12:30 p.m. ET Thursday.

"I want to show you something," said my guide. "It's very Korean, and a little bit strange. You'll probably think it's silly." We were walking, on an autumn evening that turned crisp after dusk fell on a bright and balmy day, down Isadong-gil. This is a crowded, traffic-free street in the centre of Seoul – or so you assume, until a rogue scooter or van shoots across your path. It leads through a retail gauntlet of high-quality and mostly affordable craft shops to Tapgol Park. Here, 15th-century stone pagodas commemorate the kings of the Joseon dynasty, who united the Korean peninsula after 1392 – which has plenty of resonances in 2012.
We'd already listened to the fluent English patter of the double-acts who run the wayside stalls that cook and sell the nutty traditional sweet called "dragon's beard".
I imagined some ritual in one of the tea-houses, hidden down alleyways just off the main drag. Instead, we turned off into a small courtyard that hosted a sort of mini-mall, and went upstairs. There, gaggles of shrieking teens (well, it was Saturday night) clustered around automatic photo booths. They seemed – by the extravagant period outfits hanging all around – to have been hijacked by a theatrical costumier. The deal is that you pay a few thousand won (the exchange rate runs at 1,800 to the pound), select your historical fancy-dress, and leave giggling over the evidence of how fine you'd look as – in my case – a 17th-century Korean nobleman.
Korea surprised me, not least in its civic sense of humour – quirky, surreal, sometimes raucous and often, yes, a bit silly. Laughter has helped its citizens ease their rapid passage from the war-wrecked wasteland of the 1950s to today's urban and ultra-modern "Asian tiger".
It is one of the qualities that takes the edge off the daily stress of Seoul. Take the cheap and efficient subway (and you should: a single ticket costs 60p, while maps in Roman as well as Korean script, aid the foreigner). Just before a train arrives in the station, a merry little fanfare plays. You enter the clean, comfortable carriage with a smile. London Underground, take note.
Less than 60 years ago, this was a flattened battleground. In 1953, an armistice halted the war that divided the nation and it still, technically, continues. Since then, South Korea's capital has mushroomed into a 10-million strong metropolis, the core of a wider conurbation double that size. Just a few kilometres beyond Seoul, meanwhile, North Korea under its new leader Kim Jong-un still languishes in nuclear-armed poverty. Although many young people seem to care little about the unification question, trippers flock to the Demilitarised Zone to gaze through telescopes at their deprived neighbour at the Odusan Unification Observatory – surely one of the world's weirdest tourist spots.
This year, the country's per-capita GDP will surpass the EU average of around US$30,000: an astonishing ascent. Given that breakneck growth, veterans of other Asian urban giants might expect to find in Seoul a smog-choked, high-rise hell of neon and concrete grey. And, if you want outlandish skyscrapers, swish retail complexes and nocturnal dazzle, the city will satisfy big-time.
For a splash of glitz, try the pedestrian streets around Myeongdong, where Japanese tourists on shopping trips snap up designer labels beneath corporate HQs.
To glimpse this tigerish Seoul at its proudest, take the cable car up Namsan ("southern mountain") at night, with an electric rainbow of signage spread below. Even that short trip will show you why Seoul feels different from its counterparts elsewhere. Namsan rises on its green tuft abruptly for 260 metres, right from the heart of the capital.
On a hilltop viewing platform, hundreds of couples have attached padlocks to the railings as a token of undying love. Having savoured this inner-city idyll (which comes with obligatory fast-food outlets and even a teddy-bear store), you may descend again through trees into the metropolitan hubbub on an emission-free electric bus, for a lordly 30p.
Seoul feels cleaner, and greener, than many east-Asian rivals. Through autumn or spring, you may breathe freely and walk briskly – humid July or August would tell another story, which is why the 1988 Olympics were deferred until late September.
Some enlightened urban planning has – belatedly, perhaps – begun to mitigate the effects of the growth spurt: in the cleaned-up and now fishable Cheonggyecheon urban waterway, lined with paths and plants, that cuts through the heart of downtown, or in the cycle tracks that run along the broad Hangang – Seoul's Thames or Seine. You can hire bikes for a riverside spin, stop for a snack at one of the stylish cafés at the ends of bridges.
Hilly parks dot the suburbs south of the Hangang, the preserve of Seoul's richer half. But it's in the north-of-the river quarters, where most visitors congregate, that the paradoxical pleasures of "green Seoul" can be most easily enjoyed. Immediately north of the business and consumer hub, wooded mountains topped with rocky outcrops soar into the sky, a dream-like landscape transplanted from some antique scroll. Wild and dramatic scenery rears over the hooting, throbbing centre: rare in any sprawling city but, in booming Asia, surely unique.
Between the skyscrapers and mountainsides lies the green oasis of the palace district. Of the six royal residences, Gyeongbokgung is the largest and most varied, Changdeokgung is the most sumptuously designed and Changgyeonggung is, perhaps, the most peaceful.
Here, in the far-flung estates of the Joseon monarchs – first constructed in the 15th and 16th centuries, now immaculately restored – finely carved audience halls and living quarters, temples and pavilions, nestle amid gardens landscaped with a painter's eye.
In autumn, as the leaves turn to a dozen reds and golds, take the "secret garden" tour at Changdeokgung and you will feel like you've slipped into the decoration on a screen, or the pattern on a plate. Among the stars in this arboricultural heaven are ancient Chinese scholar and gooseberry trees, and venerable mulberries. One juniper dates back to 1250.
The Bukchon neighbourhood, squeezed between a couple of palace compounds, is an urban village noted for its one-storey hanok houses, each built around a small courtyard. Its survival, across the road from the downtown frenzy, shows not only that many citizens of Seoul seek to preserve tradition in the face of galloping development, but that they can wield enough civic muscle to prevail. Thanks to a long campaign by residents, Bukchon remains a delightful low-rise warren for wandering in narrow lanes, eating at Korean restaurants (shoes off, legs crossed) and browsing in the art galleries that have sprung up across the area. It also offers quiet homestay accommodation in hanoks. For the equivalent of £33 per night, I unrolled a mat on the floor, a stone's throw from the Changdeokgung palace walls.
At the western edge of Bukchon, tree-lined Samcheongdonggil rises past galleries and cafés through Seoul's version of Soho or Chelsea. Stop along the way, with the city's trend-surfers, for a good coffee or a glass of wine (pricey, like everywhere in Asia).
Then head into Samcheong Park, which is steep and forested and serves as a kind of taster for the Bugaksan and Inwangsan mountains, both of which peer down into the city from 350-metre peaks. A little further north, for stalwart hikers, lie the trails of the Bukhansan National Park.
Imagine if Hampstead Heath or Arthur's Seat grew overnight into the Peak District or the Grampians, and you will begin to grasp how spectacular, and special, is Seoul's highland hinterland.
With more huffing and puffing than one might wish for after ambling through an arty quarter, I climbed through the trees to Prospect Point and looked down over the high-rise city. In the shadow of towers of corporate power, the curved, carved roofs of Gyeongbokgung recalled an era of less frenetic, if riskier, authority. At twilight on a day of gazebos, gardens and forests, I felt I could adopt the lifestyle of a Joseon-era aristocrat. After all (don't laugh) I have the photos to prove it.

A Simpler Time Part III
He was wrong. There was no way. First of all, the man died more than 50 years ago. Secondly, what would Clark Gable be doing in Vancouver? He placed the purloined poster and frame on his dinner table. The cracked and aged wooden surface of the table blended in well with the poster design. This piece of appropriated art belonged in his apartment, at least it felt like it did.
"The frame," Barry said out loud to absolutely nobody. "Clark Gable, or, a police officer who looked like Clark Gable touched the frame. His fingerprints must be on there." No sooner did the thought cascade from his mouth to his brain, did he realize how absolutely ridiculous that ideation was. Even if it really was Clark Gable, if somehow, a man who's been dead for 50 years had ran into him, and allowed him to walk off with a stolen picture, so what?
His cell phone beckoned with the sounds of Christmas. It was June. He needed to change that tone. Barry reached into the shallow pockets of his grey twill coat and pulled out a modest cell phone. It didn't have a large screen with six million colours. It didn't have a connection to the internet. It had a dial pad, a send button, and an end button. Low tech cell phone. There's an oxymoron for you.
"Hello, Barry speaking."
"Oh hey there Barry. How are you?"
Barry recognized the voice, but he didn't really.
"Hi, I am good. Who is this?"
"Oh geez Barry. You are a character you know that?"
Barry knew that … that drawl in the man's speech. He had heard it a dozen times, but it wasn't someone he knew. Not personally.
"Well anyways Barry, I was just in the neighbourhood and I thought, you know who I haven't seen in a while? Barry! And why, he lives just up in that apartment over there."
"Yes Barry. Goodness, did you really not recognize my voice over the telephone?"
"Jimmy Stewart?"
"Gosh, now I know you're just pulling my leg."
Barry didn't understand. None of his friends knew who Jimmy Stewart was, and even if they did, they couldn't pull off an impression like this. He didn't know what to say. That's because he didn't really know what was happening.
"Well, what do you say Barry? Or do you have a girl up there and maybe I should leave you alone?" Jimmy asked with a chuckle. The kind of chuckle that comes from a polite, shy, and honest middle class man.
"Nothing bad can come from this right?" thought Barry. "Really, what is the worse that can happen? He will meet some guy who does a great Jimmy Stewart impression. He's had worse nights."
"Uh, no Jimmy, no girl. Just…" Barry couldn't find the words to string together. "Just…haven't heard from you in a long time. You caught me by surprise, that's all."
"Oh well, it hasn't been that long has it. Anyhow, that's real great to hear. Let me swing by the market and pick up something for us to drink. I will be there in a short while."
"Yeah, sure. See you soon Jimmy."
"Alright Barry, I will see you real soon."
Barry put his cell phone back in his pocket. He looked around his apartment. The floor was clean, there was nothing was sitting in the sink, and he barely had any furniture to attract dust. He was ready as he could be.

Neil Lennon has parted company with Scottish Premiership champions Celtic after talks with the club's board regarding his future, strengthening talk that the former Northern Ireland international is set for a management role in the Premier League.
As quoted by the BBC, Lennon said: "I have parted company with Celtic. I can't thank Peter Lawwell and the board enough for their backing and support.
"The club are in a very strong position and I wish the fans and the club all the very best for the future."
Lennon departs Celtic having enjoyed a hugely successful four years as manager, having experienced a trophy-laden spell with the Bhoys during his playing career.
He guided the Scottish side to three Premiership titles in 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 after taking charge in 2010 in a caretaker role following the sacking of Tony Mowbray. Having won all of their remaining games that season, Celtic appointed Lennon on a permanent basis in June that year.
Lennon also experienced success in the Scottish Cup, clinching the trophy in 2010-11 and 2012-13, but a move to the Premier League has beckoned for some times and his agent confirmed on Thursday that Lennon had left the club.
The former Manchester City, Crewe, Leicester and Nottingham Forest star, who ended his playing career with Wycombe Wanderers, has been linked with the vacant roles at both Norwich and West Brom, and the bookmakers have installed him as favourite to take over at Carrow Road despite Malky Mackay also being considered for the job.
Former Celtic striker Henrik Larsson is currently the heavy favourite to take over in Glasgow, although the vacancy could interest former Manchester United manager David Moyes should the Scot wish to make an instant return to management.
Moyes was sacked by United in April following a dismal debut season after he succeeded compatriot Sir Alex Ferguson.Reuse content

PIP is a selling feature only. It impresses people.
I had my older HD TV set up with antenna and satellite input and could watch from two sources - PIP. I think I did it twice. Why would I want to watch a little bitty picture in the corner at the same time as a large HD picture. Duh, nope. And swapping back and forth just didn't turn me on. For that I can use the recall/back function on the remote.
My new Sony 55'' SXRD does not have PIP. And I don't care.
As far as getting two pictures on your TV, you called it. You need two seperate sources such as broadcast antenna and cable, or cable and DVD, or whatever. I suppose some people will get two boxes for this function. But these people usually have more money than sense.
None of the setup/connection guides that came with my TV, or my Cable HD box have a connection guide that works.
My new setup is Comcast's Motorola set top box (STB) with HD and DVR. I have a new Samsung HDTV with PIP.
I have the STB connected to the TV via an HDMI cable. The DVD player connected via 3video+2audio cables. Both work fine.
No basic antenna or coax cable connection into the new HDTV. In fact, I removed the splitter that used to send a separate signal to the VCR for analog recording (set up before digital cable boxes could be programmed.) That was the second signal for my old PIP TV
The PIP won't function without two sources - so what's the point of getting PIP on an HDTV unless you're going to get two HD STBs? I guess I could watch a DVD & broadcast TV at same time, but that's pointless, when you can pause a DVD. (haven't tried)
I know better than to send both the HDMI AND a coax cable from the STB to the TV -- they'd only get me PIP with both pictures being the same. wouldn't they?
Is my only choice to split the signal before the STB and send one non-digital, non-HD signal directly to the TV... limiting my PIP viewing to one input being basic analog? Are there people getting two HD boxes? I'm starting to re-think my decision to get an HDTV without a built in cable card - at least I could have watched two HD channels.
In fact, many of the my new HDTVs functions dont work without an antennae or coax cable connected. For example, the timer doesn't work - because the only options are that it turns on and uses antennae or cable input signal. It won't default to the HDMI input at startup.
My STB remote has a PIP function, but Comcast literature says its reserved for future use - although they instruct users to use the PIP SWAP button for monitoring two programs so both are recorded by the DVR. So, if the box is monitoring two signals simultaneously, shouldn't it be able to broadcast those two signals? Am I missing something? I can't get an answer from either the TV manufacturer or Comcast.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Is there some way to connect an HD/DVR STB to an HDTV with PIP that I am missing?

- Full Modular
- 80 PLUS GOLD Certified
- 100 - 240 V 50/60 Hz
Great power supply. Customer service was not as great. 06/28/2013
This review is from: XFX P1-750B-BEFX 750W ATX12V 2.2 & ESP12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply
The power supply runs cool and quiet. Gives it's rated power without any problems. It's an excellent power supply with quality components and excellent performance. The full modularity is a plus for cable management and the cables look clean enough without the need for sleeving.
I'd have to say my worst gripe about the power supply wasn't the power supply itself, but the customer service. The box was missing cables. First I tried going to XFX's website to try to contact customer service, but there was no obvious contact email. The customer service number wasn't to call center, but to a voicemail which I left a message for but never got a call back.
To reach customer service, I had to browse through the newegg reviews for XFX products until I came across the email for the rep on newegg. I got in contact with Mark. Because of delayed response times and them not knowing their own products, it took about 2 weeks to finally get the cables I needed. Overall, I'm not sure if I'd buy from them again for all the trouble that they make you go through to reach a person and then communicate with them over days at a time.
Other Thoughts:
The quality of the power supply for the price can't be beat. It's almost worth the trouble of going through customer service for any issues. Hope that nothing goes wrong and you will have a great product.

Decision makers
- Georgia Governor Nathan Deal
Replace the DeKalb County school board
As current DeKalb County school students, we are aware our schools could lose their accreditation due to incompetence and lack of attention given to financial operations in our system by many members of the current DeKalb Board of Education. For students who graduate from unaccredited schools, it can be a nightmare to get into college. It does not seem possible that the people who created the problem (many on the current school board) can reasonably solve the problem. Let us start fresh with a new board.

Trendelenburg's sign
|This article needs more medical references for verification or relies too heavily on primary sources. (November 2012)
Trendelenburg's sign is found in people with weak or paralyzed abductor muscles of the hip, namely gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. It is named after the German surgeon Friedrich Trendelenburg.
The gluteus medius is very important during the stance phase of the gait cycle to maintain both hips at the same level. Moreover, one leg stance accounts for about 60% of the gait cycle. Furthermore, during the stance phase of the gait cycle, there is approximately three times the body weight transmitted to the hip joint.[citation needed] The hip abductors' action accounts for two thirds of that body weight. The Trendelenburg sign is said to be positive if, when standing on one leg, the pelvis drops on the side opposite to the stance leg to reduce the load by decreasing the lever arm. By reducing the lever arm, this decreases the work load on the hip abductors. The muscle weakness is present on the side of the stance leg. A Trendelenburg sign can occur when there is presence of a muscular dysfunction (weakness of the gluteus medius or minimus) or when someone is experiencing pain. The body is not able to maintain the center of gravity on the side of the stance leg. Normally, the body shifts the weight to the stance leg, allowing the shift of the center of gravity and consequently stabilizing or balancing the body. However, in this scenario, when the patient/person lifts the opposing leg, the shift is not created and the patient/person cannot maintain balance leading to instability.

District athletic directors said a new policy would not likely form in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling allowing drug testing of athletes in public schools. The court's decision came this week in a 6-3 vote that gave schools the right to carry out random drug testing, saying that students who participate in sports are open to such scrutiny. New Braunfels Athletic Director Tim Kingsbury said the school district does not have a random drug testing policy for athletes and the issue has not been formally discussed by district officials. He said he did not believe the recent court decision would have an impact locally. "It just doesn't seem like something we would need to implement in our district," Kingsbury said. "First of all, it would single out athletes and that could be seen as unfair to select one group. Why not also test students who are not involved in sports or students in other extra-curricular activities like band or debate?" "I think students who arc involved in extra curricular activities tend to be the ones least likely get involved with drugs." "The other aspect is that drug testing would be prohibitive as far as cost is concerned," he added. Smithson Valley Athletic Director Larry Hill said he has not discussed the drug testing issue with Comal Independent School District officials but said he does not foresee it becoming policy in the near future. "If a kid has a drug problem, then we would want to do whatever we could to help him or her," Hill said. "But the biggest drawback with random drug testing is that it does not seem economically feasible. I don't know of any school district in the state that has drug testing or that qpuld afford it." Hill added that the court's ruling unfairly targets athletes but that it was not unusual because athletes already are expected to meet higher demands under the no-pass no-play law. Canyon Athletic Director Larry Nowotny said drug testing could be useful in certain cases but he would be against a random testing policy if it was not a student-wide policy. "It has been studied in the past, and there are instances where it would be appropriate, but as a general policy for athletes, it is not easy to do because of costs and legal ramifications," Nowotny said. The dreg testing issue stemmed from an Oregon school district's policy that required students who wanted to participate in interscholastic athletics to provide urine samples under monitored conditions at school. The program applied to all students whether suspected of drug use or not. Speaking for the court majority, Justice Antonin Scalia defended the ruling, saying "school sports are not for the bashful. Students who voluntarily participate in school athletics have reason to expect intrusions upon normal rights and privileges, including privacy." NB All-Stars split series with Yoakum AL 10-year-old boys play for little league title tonight From staff reports GONZALES — The New Braunfels American Little League All-Stars are one game away from taking the District 31 title in the 10-year-old boys division. On the verge of elimination Thursday, the NB All-Stars came back to win the second game of a double-header against Yoakum, forcing a showdown for the title tonight. The game starts at 7 p.m. in Gonzales. NB All-Star Coach Michael Garrott said the title will likely come down to pitching. "I think whoever comes out with a strong performance at the mound will win it," Garrott said. "Both teams have to be a bit tired. These kids have played seven games in less than two weeks. They will have to dig deep one more time." The NB All-Stars have come back from deficits to win four of their seven games so far in the tournament. On Thursday, Yoakum edged the NB All-Stars in a seven-inning game that had been delayed by rain. The team played to a 7-7 tie after five innings on Wednesday when officials halted play. The game resumed with Yoakum at bat, a runner on first base and two outs. Pitcher Matt Schulke got the NB All-Stars out of the inning, but Yoakum came back to score the winning run in the eighth inning on four walks. For the game, the NB All-Stars had 11 hits and one error to Yoakum's IO hits and six errors. In game two, pitcher Justin Delgado shut out Yoakum with three innings, giving up no hits. Chad Gregson led off the first inning with a single and was driven in by Delgado for a I -0 lead. The NB All-Stars broke open the game in the fifth inning with five runs. Peter Lingamfelter, Jimmy Quiroz, Chris Hailey, Gregson, Zeb Vick-nair and Jimmy Rodriguez led the sixth-inning barrage. Yoakum came back with three runs in the sixth inning but pitcher Jory Werth entered the game and preserved the 6-3 victory. The NB All-Stars collected eight hits in the game and had only one emir. Yoakum had three hits and one error. "The kids came back after that first loss which we could have easily won," Garrott said. "They never got down, and they played wonderf ul baseball when everything was on the line." Coach Garrott said he will start Jimmy Quiroz at the mound tonight. "Regardless of the outcome tonight, these kids will be winners for what they've already accomplished," Garrott said. "They've already proven they are winners." Lefty with zip Herald-Zeitung photos by THOMAS GODLEY Jory Werth, a New Braunfels American Little League All-Star, will be a key player in the team quest to capture the District 31 championship in the 10-year-old boys division. The NB All-Stars must beat Yoakum. The game begins at 7 p.m. tonight in Gonzales. Fishing for flounder is not so common Where have all the flounder gone on the mid to lower Texas Coast? That's a popular question among saltwater anglers. "We haven't seen a gtxxl Hounder run in several years," said Captain John Woolen. Woolen, who guides fishermen from Corpus Christi to the land cut says, "I fished over 2(X) day last year and caught only one flounder." (There are many other guides who didn't catch any.) As for me, I managed to catch only one last year. In years past, flounder were plentiful and easy to catch either with a flounder gig at night or on a rod and reel. But now it's a rare occurrence to even see a flounder on the mid lo lower coast. I asked over a dozen long-time fishing guides for their opinion on where the flounder are, and here's some of what they said. Too much harvesting in years past has killed the flounder. Commercial fishermen have been allowed to over-harvest them. Flounder are extremely vulnerable in the mid to lower coast because the water is normally clear enough and shallow enough to gig them. The upper coast still has a great flounder population because of three factors: ■ very little commercial fishing ■ deeper waler ■ off-colored water I have been told that the Gulf Coast Conservation Association (GCCA is targeting flounder restocking in tile near f uture much the same as they did trout and redfish. Hopefully their efforts along with those from the Texas Parks and Wildlife will bring our flounder population back. There's no question that their work on trout and redfish has been successful. Saltwater fishing for them is better now than it has been in 20 years. But for now, if you're looking for some good flounder action, my suggestion is to try the upper coast, specifically Sabine Lake. It is not uncommon for anglers to catch easy limits year round (Keith Warren is the host of "The Texas Angler" television show which broadcasts statewide. Catch "Vie Texas Angler" on Sunday mornings at 11:30 and Friday mornings at 10:30 on USE. You can contact the Texas Angler at P O. Box 310601, New Braunfels, TX. 7H131-060I.)

Team members are: (front, left to right) Chad Weimar*, Colin Johhson, Michael O'Brien, Dylan Befinger, Edward Rodrigue*, Even Rodriguez, (back row) Coach Russell Hansmann, Logan Jones, Brent Green, Coach John Green, Jared Collin*, Dustin Williams, Javin Walker, Manager Chris Weimar*. Drew Sobber gar also was on the team. First round NBA draft pick Smith a big deal for Warriors TORONTO (AP) — No one made a big deal about Joe Smith when he first got to Maryland in 1993. Sure, he had gtxxl size and an impressive physique, but the top prep player dial year from his home state of Virginia was a guy named Jerry Stackhouse, who went to play for Dean Smith aking with a highly touted big man, Rasheed Wallace. In two seasons with the Terrapins, Smith blossomed, and on Wednesday night he became the top pick in the NBA draft, ahead of the two Tar Heel sophomores. "When I got to Maryland, no one expected me to have as successful a season as I had," Smith said after the Warriors made him only the third sophomore ever selected first. "I came out and surprised everybody, even myself. My confidence just skyrocketed from Game I, and it never went down." Smith, who at 6-fool- IO played center in college, but will be a power forward in the pros, led a crop of 19- and 20-year-olds at the top of the draft One, fifth pick Kevin Garnett, is just out of high school. Alabama's Antonio McDyess was taken second by the Los Angeles Clippers, then traded along with Randy Woods to Denver for Brent Barry, the 15th pick, and forward Rodney Rogers. Stackhouse was selected next, by Philadelphia, followed by Wallace, chosen fourth by Washington. McDyess, Stackhouse and Wallace all left school after two seasons. Minnesota went fifth, producing the biggest question mark of the draft, Chicago high schooler Kevin Garnett. The rail-thin 6-10 forward is only, the fourth high school player ever selected in the NBA draft. ;
