Disuse of the skeleton leads to osteopenia whereas increased use leads to bone accrual. The process, by which skeletal cells sense and translate force into an anabolic response, is called mechanosensing. Downstream responses to physical force in the skeleton have been characterised, however the identities of the mechanosensing molecules are yet to be elucidated. Discovery of the mechanisms which underpin bone accrual is important for understanding the pathogenesis of bone wasting disorders such as osteoporosis. The study of genetic disease, in which skeletal remodelling has been disrupted, can lead to the discovery of key molecules and pathways in this process. To this end, the focus of this thesis is the rare skeletal dysplasia frontometaphyseal dysplasia (FMD). Approximately 50% of FMD cases are caused by gain-of-function mutations in FLNA, which encodes the mechanosensitive protein filamin A, the other 50% of cases are unsolved. In order to find other molecules which make up the skeletal mechanosensory network, gene discovery was undertaken in FLNA-mutation negative FMD individuals. The same mutation in MAP3K7, c.1454C>T, was found in 15 unrelated individuals. A further three patients were found to have unique mutations in the same gene (c.208G>C, c.299T>A, and c.502G>C). MAP3K7 encodes TGFβ-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) which phosphorylates and activates components of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. The discovered mutations were shown to increase the activation of the kinase and promote the anabolic response of the skeleton. Furthermore, I showed that mice which express constitutively mechanically-stimulated Flna have a hyperostotic phenotype. Taken together this indicates that filamin A is a potential mechanosensor in bone and transduces the force signal through activated TAK1 to bring about an anabolic response in the skeleton. 2016-12-18T22:07:54Z Child Poverty Monitor: Technical Report 2016 http://hdl.handle.net/10523/7006 Child Poverty Monitor: Technical Report 2016 2016-12-13 Simpson, Jean; Duncanson, Mavis; Oben, Glenda; Wicken, Andrew; Gallagher, Sarah The Child Poverty Monitor and this Technical Report provide data on a set of indicators that assess aspects of child poverty in New Zealand and their implications for child wellbeing. In it are data on income and non-income measures of poverty, including measures that reflect increasing levels of severity. Other data include indicators related to health, living conditions, education, and a selection of economic measures used to assess how well we are doing as a nation that are relevant to the wellbeing of children and their families. The Child Poverty Monitor is a partnership comprising the Office of the Children's Commissioner, the University of Otago's New Zealand Child and Youth Epidemiology Service (NZCYES) and the JR McKenzie Trust. The purpose is to compile and share robust information on child poverty measures that are publicly available and easily accessible. Only by having the essential measures on child poverty in New Zealand compiled, published and disseminated annually can we tell how well we are progressing in effectively reducing child poverty in our nation. 2016-12-11T20:28:21Z Constipation: A commonly costly complex condition http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6933 Constipation: A commonly costly complex condition 2016-11 Duncanson, Mavis; Oben, Glenda; Wicken, Andrew; Morris, Simon; Adams, Judith; Gallagher, Sarah; Simpson, Jean Background: The 2015 New Zealand Child and Youth Epidemiology Service reports to NZ district health boards (DHBs) on the health status of children and young people found that constipation was a common reason for acute and arranged hospitalisations of New Zealand children, particularly in the 0–14 age group. Community prevalence may be as high as 30% and the condition results in a significant burden to children, their families and to health services in terms of resource use and funding. This poster includes the epidemiology of hospitalisations for constipation in New Zealand 0–24 year olds from 2000 to 2015 and considers recent evidence for good practice at a health service level. Methods: Analysis of data from the National Minimum dataset with Statistics New Zealand Estimated Resident Population denominator to describe hospitalisation rates over time and demographic characteristics of individuals hospitalised with a primary or contributory diagnosis of constipation. A rapid literature review summarises good practice in reducing hospitalisation rates for constipation. Results: Hospitalisation rates of 0–24 year olds for constipation rose markedly from 2007 to 2015. The increase in hospitalisation rates was observed in all age groups and ethnic groups, with consistently highest rates for 0–4 year olds. Among 0–24 year olds between 2011 and 2015 hospitalisation was least likely for those living in areas with low scores on the NZDep2013 index of deprivation, for Asian/Indian children and young people and for boys compared with girls. Conclusion: The common problem of constipation is contributing increasingly to use of health service resources in New Zealand. Cost-effective services can reduce this impact and contribute to better outcomes for children and families. Please add to the NZCYES collection 2016-11-14T03:38:44Z What's for dinner? Relative and absolute differences in food prices http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6932 What's for dinner? Relative and absolute differences in food prices 2016-11 Duncanson, Mavis; Boston, Grace; Parnell, Winsome; Simpson, Jean Background: Women with children experiencing food insecurity report difficulty affording healthy food and express concern that high fat processed food and sugar sweetened beverages are often less expensive than fresh foods and milk. The New Zealand food price index monitors changes in price of various food items relative to their price in 2006. This presentation will examine how prices of food items have changed over time and consider how this may impact on the diet of children and young people in New Zealand. Methods: Analysis of data from the 2016 Food Price Index to identify for which goods prices have remained most similar to 2006 and which goods have had the greatest relative increase in price. Weighted average retail prices in June 2016 were used to compare absolute differences in price of food items at that point in time. Results: The price of pastry goods such as pies, sausage rolls and custard squares increased 5% from 2006 to 2016, the price of processed meat increased around 10% whereas the price of beef and veal increased by 50%. The largest single rise of 65% was seen for fruit. The least expensive single item in the June 2016 list of weighted average retail prices was white bread and the most expensive items were fresh meats. At $3.98 a hot meat pie was the least expensive item in the 'ready-to-eat' food subgroup. Conclusion: Increasing disparities in the relative prices of foods is likely to have contributed to material hardship and food insecurity in New Zealand. For households with children highly processed foods may be the most economic food choices, and may be the only choices available to those living in income poverty.

SDB has been associated with a number of adverse effects on aspects of daytime functioning, including quality of life, behaviour, general cognitive functioning and memory. It has been documented that these difficulties can have a negative effect on school performance, but it is not known how children with SDB may differ from day to day in their school performance, or how their academic growth from week to week may be different from children without SDB. Furthermore, treatment of SDB by removing obstructive tonsillar and adenoid tissues can result in improvements in SDB symptoms, quality of life, and behaviour, but it is unclear whether this extends to school achievement. Previous research has used measures of academic performance such as parent and teacher report or standardised achievement tests. These kinds of measurements are not able to provide information about growth in academic achievement, and are not designed to be sensitive to treatment effects. The current research is a case series examining children on the waiting list for adenotonsillectomy (AT), a high risk group for SDB, using a multimethod-multi-informant approach to assessment. These children were assessed in domains where changes have previously been demonstrated after AT, i.e., SDB symptoms, quality of life and behaviour, as well as in academic performance, where results of previous research have been more equivocal. Methods previously used in SDB research to assess academic performance were used alongside alternative indicators of progress in literacy and numeracy. These measures were informed by evidence-based measurement approaches used to evaluate academic intervention, and were selected to probe skills specific to each child's school year. This approach has previously demonstrated sensitivity to treatment effects in interventions for neurodevelopmental disorders. Methods: 20 case children aged 3-11 years were recruited from the waiting list for adenotonsillectomy at Dunedin Public Hospital. 19 of these children were matched to controls for age, sex, and school year, including academic performance where possible. 44% of participants were male, and 46% were preschool aged. All children were described in terms of their symptoms of SDB using parent ratings on the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire, quality of life using the OSA-18 and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, behaviour using the SWAN rating scale and BASC-2 BESS , general cognition using the WPPSI-III and WISC-IV, and academic performance at matched time points both before surgery and at a follow up 7 months after surgery. In addition, an AHI was derived from home-based sleep studies conducted both before surgery and at a 3 month follow up. Academic performance was measured using parent and teacher judgements in relation to National Standards, performance on a standardised achievement test (WIAT-II Australian), and using the developmentally appropriate literacy and numeracy measures that were expected to be sensitive to changes across the study. The literacy and numeracy indicators were administered twice, one week apart, at each time point: twice before surgery (pre-'surgery'), twice at the 3 month follow up (post-'surgery'), and twice again at the 7 month follow up. These assessment points are similar to the timeline of previous SDB research. The current research takes both visual and statistical approaches to data analysis, allowing for examination of individual case-control pairs and within-subjects changes as well as group-level statistics. Results: At pre-'surgery', case children on average had more parent-reported SDB symptoms than matched controls (p = .001). This pattern was confirmed by AHI from overnight sleep studies indicating that the majority of case participants had clinically significant levels of SDB. As well as increased SDB symptoms, case children on average had poorer quality of life (range p = .001 - .032), behavioural and emotional functioning (p = .020), and memory (p = .001) than matched controls according to parent ratings. Teacher ratings did not suggest elevated levels of behavioural or emotional difficulties for either cases or controls and did not differ between groups, and mean general cognitive functioning scores were also similar between the groups. Typically used measures of academic performance, parent and teacher report and standardised achievement test scores, did not differ on average between case and control children, although case participants' scores on the WIAT-II mathematics composite score were in the 'low-average' range compared to norms. Comparisons of literacy and numeracy indicators between the two pre-'surgery' sessions suggested that in general, case children appeared to have more consistent performance than controls from week-to-week, but less growth in these skills. When looking at mean performance on the tasks at pre-'surgery', several control children were outperforming their matched case participant, but there was a lot of individual variation in scores. After surgery, case children had improved parent ratings of SDB symptoms (p = .001), quality of life (range p = .001 - .023), behavioural and emotional functioning (p = .008), and memory (p = .014). With the exception of SDB symptoms and memory difficulties, which remained elevated for case children in comparison to matched controls, case and control children no longer differed statistically for mean scores in any other domain of daytime functioning. Teacher ratings of reading in relation to National Standards improved for case children (p = .011), but no other typically used measures of school performance changed notably following surgery. Improvements in scores on the literacy and numeracy indicators suggested different patterns of growth for different academic domains and age groups. For preschoolers, case children showed evidence of linear growth in an early literacy composite that was steeper than for control children on average (p = .008). However, improvement in early numeracy scores suggesting growth in these skills did not differ between case and control participants on average. Year 1 and 2 case participants showed considerable growth in a phoneme segmentation fluency task that was not observed for their matched controls, but there were no clear patterns for any other literacy or numeracy tasks. Children in Years 3 to 5 had improvements in literacy tasks that for some participants were greater than their matched controls, but did not appear to improve in numeracy. Year 6 and 7 students, in contrast, demonstrated evidence of growth in numeracy tasks, but most did not improve in literacy tasks. Conclusions: This research is consistent with previous studies reporting that children with SDB are at risk for poor academic performance or growth. The literacy and numeracy indicators used in the current research provided information about academic performance in these children beyond what could be ascertained from more conventionally used measures. This finding suggests that these more sensitive measures of academic growth have potential for evaluating effects of SDB treatment on academic performance in a larger group of children. The current study has clearly demonstrated that children who are undergoing surgery for removal of tonsils and adenoids in Dunedin are likely to have more symptoms of SDB and related negative effects on daytime functioning when compared to similar children in the community. It also provides preliminary evidence that treatment of SDB in early childhood may help to improve learning trajectories in literacy skills, supporting existing evidence for early identification and intervention for SDB. Many children are affected by health problems other than SDB or behavioural difficulties that have been associated with poorer school performance. The literacy and numeracy indicators used in the current research show promise for assessing the effects of surgical intervention for SDB, and therefore have the potential to explore the effects that treatment of other disorders that can affect school performance, such as otitis media (glue ear) or ADHD, could have on academic achievement. 2016-10-13T20:12:43Z Intuitive eating in pregnancy http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6779 Intuitive eating in pregnancy 2016 Paterson, Helen Excess gestational weight gain increases health risks for mother and child in the short and longer term. Meta-analyses of trials designed to optimise gestational weight gain show positive fetal and maternal effects. However, studies show considerable heterogeneity in their interventions and effects. Intuitive eating, eating founded on hunger and satiety cues rather than emotional stimuli, is associated with lower body mass index in observational studies outside pregnancy. Higher levels of emotional eating have been associated with increased gestational weight gain. The aim of this PhD was to investigate if intuitive eating could be used as part of a non-dieting intervention for the optimisation of gestational weight gain, to improve the outcomes for mother and child. The Medical Research Council complex interventions framework was used as the basis of the research design leading to a mixed method exploratory sequential design. Phase one, a qualitative study, using a semi-structured interview with a cognitive think-aloud component, of 12 purposively selected pregnant women, investigated two objectives: (1) to explore the way women experience eating in pregnancy, and (2) to examine the content validity of the Intuitive Eating Scale in pregnancy. Objective one was addressed using a general inductive analysis of interview data. Four themes regarding eating during pregnancy were identified: How women feel, External influences, Changed eating by choice, and Motivation to change. Findings supported Phelan's model of pregnancy as a teachable moment for eating behaviours. Objective two was met by comparing women's 'think-aloud' responses for each item of the Intuitive Eating Scale ('during pregnancy' versus 'pre-pregnancy') using a directed content analysis approach to elucidate reasons for any differences. One core theme, food safety, was identified that potentially affected the content validity of the existing Intuitive Eating Scale; women reported that food safety issues altered their 'during pregnancy' answers to some items on the unconditional eating subscale. To standardise the way women interpreted the context for answering the instructions for completing the Intuitive Eating Scale were amended, an additional statement was added "Your answers may include consideration of food safety (e.g. listeria)". The amended instrument (IES-P) was used in Phase two. Phase two, an observational cohort study of 260 pregnant women at four time points was performed in Dunedin, New Zealand with two objectives: (3) investigate the test-retest reliability of the IES-P in pregnancy, and (4) investigate the relationship between intuitive eating and gestational weight gain. Bland Altman test-retest reliability of the IES-P, over approximately five weeks, showed a mean difference of -0.08 (95% limits of agreement -0.60 to 0.44) and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.79. Regression modelling demonstrated no statistically significant effect of baseline (mean 14 weeks) IES-P scores on gestational weight gain –1.2 kg (95% CI -2.65kg to 0.13kg, p=.075). There was no convincing evidence to recommend an intuitive eating component as part of a complex intervention study to optimise gestational weight gain. However, there may be a role for an intuitive eating intervention during pregnancy, for women who have high baseline levels of emotionally driven eating; this requires further research. 2016-09-14T21:06:05Z The Determinants of Health for Pacific Children and Young People in New Zealand (2014) http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6747 The Determinants of Health for Pacific Children and Young People in New Zealand (2014) 2016-08 Simpson, Jean; Oben, Glenda; Craig, Elizabeth; Adams, Judith; Wicken, Andrew; Duncanson, Mavis; Reddington, Anne This report focuses on the underlying determinants of health for Pacific children and young people in New Zealand and aims to: 1.

Mothers and Lovers(2014)
A novel by Maria Flook
Maria Flook, author of New York Times Best Seller Invisible Eden, brings us another edgy, breezy-noir New England story. College professor April O'Rourke is in over her head when she moves next door to a family in trouble, including a teenage son, who has returned home from reform school. She is mesmerized by her young neighbor but his unorthodox bond with his mother has earth-shaking consequences for everyone. This sweeping novel overturns sacred traditions and maps the scissoring boundary lines of family ties and carnal attraction. Flook's authority shimmers on every page as she exposes the contemporary matriarch's role and its taboo off branches - the childless career woman as imposter, and the mother, herself, as lover.

Police and Cell Phones: Defining Unreasonable Search and Seizure
Today, the Supreme Court will hear two back-to-back cases that could have serious consequences for the way we think about privacy and communication in modern life.
The Court will consider a new question surrounding search and seizure as it relates to that most modern and most ubiquitous of devices: The smartphone. At issue is whether police need a warrant before searching the mobile device of a person under arrest.
As it stands now, the Fourth Amendment outlaws unreasonable search and seizure, and the Supreme Court has examined that Constitutional principle in relation to phone conversations and snail mail, in school lockers and home property. But the birth of new technologies is raising a whole new set of legal questions.
The first case before the Court is Riley v. California, which began in 2009 when San Diego police officers arrested David L. Riley for driving without registration. The officers found loaded weapons in Riley's car and gang-related messages on Riley's smartphone. The other case, United States v. Wurie, began in 2007, when Boston police officers used call logs from an arrested woman's flip phone as evidence of her guilt in drug and gun-related crimes.
These cases have found their way to the Supreme Court in part because police officers believe that smartphones are a vital source of evidence. Charles Ramsey, Philadelphia Police Commissioner, explains why he believes the government has a "compelling interest" in searching the smartphones of arrested persons.
"It is technology that we have to deal with on a regular basis in today's world," says Commissioner Ramsey. "I realize that there is personal information in smartphones, but when we do make an arrest it is very, very important that we're able to have access to information that would lead us to a criminal conviction in a particular case."
Commissioner Ramsey, who is also the president of the Major Cities Chiefs of Police Association, an organization that filed a friend of the court brief supporting warrantless smartphone searches, says collecting data and information from these types of mobile devices is critically important for law enforcement in this day-and-age.
"If it's a regular cell phone without smartphone technology, that's different because those phones don't have the ability to erase automatically or remotely like you do with a smartphone," he says. "But more and more people are moving away from regular cell phones. In fact, it's probably not even that easy to buy a regular cell phone anymore—just about everything is a smartphone. As this technology continues to advance, it's going to become more and more difficult for us to be able to preserve evidence of a crime."
According to Commissioner Ramsey, a warrantless smartphone search ensures that evidence can be collected in a timely manner before a suspect has a chance to destroy it—something that he says was done in Orange County, California.
"The sheriff's office there conducted a raid of a narcotics organization and a money laundering organizations," he says. "Others got wind of the fact that the arrests were going down and remotely erased all information from cell phones of every member of that organization. In fact, that particular drug organization had its own IT department that was capable of doing just that. Obviously, there was an awful lot of evidence lost as a result of that."
Commissioner Ramsey says this case in Orange County provides an example as to why the Supreme Court should allow law enforcement officials to search the smartphones of those under arrest without a warrant.
"Waiting to get a warrant is not always piratical," he says. "We're hopeful that the Court will take today's technology into consideration when making their decision."
While there are current laws against evidence tampering and obstruction of justice, Commissioner Ramsey says prosecuting someone under the existing statute for deleting cell phone data, photos, videos, contacts or other information that may be considered evidence in a criminal proceeding would be extremely challenging.
"It would be a very difficult thing to prove if you don't have evidence that the reason why they erased the information was to avoid criminal prosecution," he says.
Law enforcement officials already have the authority to search an individual's pockets and property on or near their person upon arrest, something that dates back to the common law era and is frequently referred to as the search-incident-to-arrest doctrine. Commissioner Ramsey and others in favor of warrantless smartphone searches argue that the practice would fall under the aforementioned doctrine.
"It's going to be a difficult case for the Supreme Court to sort through," he says. "Hopefully they listen to all the arguments and understand that at the time the Constitution was written, and the Fourth Amendment of unlawful searches and seizures, our founding fathers did not have to deal with the technology we deal with today."
Sophisticated technology is what makes the need for warrantless smartphone searches compelling, Commissioner Ramsey argues. He says that a mobile application is currently being developed that automatically configures an individual's GPS location and erases all data from a device if the location signal determines a person is in a police station.
"Technology is advancing so fast that it's difficult to keep pace, and it's going to create some serious problems for us in the future," he adds. "The technology itself has created the exigent circumstances that we're talking about here, and it's advancing every single day."
Technology Vs. Law
So will a warrantless smartphone search become a lawful practice? Providing the legal perspective for how the judges might rule is Stephen Cribari, a professor of law at the University of Minnesota.
"This is a very tangled legal mess," says Cribari. "I don't think there's a technological fix because technology advances so fast that once you fix it, it's going to change and you're going to have to fix again."
Professor Cribari says that the issue at the heart of this case is a question of privacy—do individuals have a expectation of privacy when it comes to the data on their smartphones that extends beyond the search-incident-to-arrest doctrine?
The professor says that Justice Sonia Sotomayor has already raised this question in the case U.S. v. Jones, which concluded that tracking a suspect's car by attaching a GPS device to it amounts to a search under the Fourth Amendment. In that case, Justice Sotomayor wondered whether an individual can have a reasonable expectation of privacy for information that has been knowingly exposed to the public.
"When you use [a smartphone] it's a data stream that goes into space and comes back," says Cribari. "We have to talk about in terms of analogies because very few people have the savvy to talk about it technologically. It's not like a letter—you're not sealing something up and putting a stamp on it, it's like a postcard because all of the data goes out, goes around, gets copied, reassembled and goes back. And yet, you want privacy in it."
Professor Cribari says that a similar issue was raised in the 1989 case United States Department of Justice v. Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. During the case, which took place during the very early days of the digital age, Justice Stevens described an interesting conundrum that has since been dubbed "practical obscurity." While some information may be technically public, if it is held in a variety of different locations and requires a great deal of effort to locate, the information is practically obscure and simultaneously public and sensitive.
Professor Cribari says he does not believe the Court will recognize piratical obscurity in this case.
"My students every year believe that because their data is personal and many instances intimate, it is therefore private," he says. "I don't think we can say the Supreme Court has ever protected the content of information—it protects where you say it and how you speak it."

Onlinesupport4computer.org pop-up is a scamming program that looks like as a very helpful application at first time. It claims to provide the facilities for online supports to short out various issues of the Computer. It generates fake alert warning notification that your System has been highly infected with the malicious infection. If you want to secure your PC from those infections then you have to call my online support service which provides the paid services. But unfortunately in this way this vermin tries to manipulate the online users for making money for the cyber hacker. So the Computer Expert advice, never trust such types of notification and do not attempt to call online support services. Onlinesupport4computer.org pop-up is a redirect virus which injected the mostly Windows based System such as Win XP, Win7, Win8 and the updated version Win10. It gets installed in to the System without the users' knowledge by the freeware program and other social techniques. It generates lots of issues once enters in to the System.
Onlinesupport4computer.org pop-up has the ability to deactivate the System security and other privacy of the PC.

It's been a rough week. It's been raining. We're all nervous about swine flu. And then, of course, there's the economy.
You seem like nice people in need of cheering up. Here's a piece from Funnyordie.com featuring Adam West:
West was in Milwaukee earlier this year and chatted with Inside Radio & TV columnist Tim Cuprisin about his feelings on his Batman image.
And thank you to USA Today blogger Pop Candy for the heads up. Did you laugh?

Jane: Uhh, can't be bothered
"Uhh, can't be bothered" I say walking over to the coach and falling on to it. I'm tired to the bone and who cares about a new weird being coming to the hotle.
"Your a shapeshifter" th elf says looking at me shocked. "An true immortal one at that"
"What about it?" I say opening me eyes to look at her. "I'm tired and confused so leave me allown"
I then turn into a kittne and curl up in a ball to sleep. "That's just cute" I hear Tallie whisper.
I growl slightly and hiss before trying again to sleep.
"Well that's new?" I hear Regan's voice say as he walks into a hotel.
"How many vampires are here?" the elf says annoyed.
"Was two now three?" Mark says and I swear at that moment he put an arm round Tallie.
I can't help but laugh. I feel myself being picked up and I open an eye to see Regan.
"I'll take sleepy here to her room" he says holding me gently in his arms. I yawn and strech.
"Sleep, jane" he whispers storking my fur lightly.

- Bogus meter reader warning
Published: 21 May 2015 1:03pm
Charters Towers and Ayr residents are urged to be aware of a man posing as an Ergon Energy meter reader a company spokesman said today.
Corporate Communications Manager John Fowler said the warning follows separate incidents in both communities this week in which a man asked to enter properties to read electricity meters.
"Earlier this week, a man driving a white Toyota Hi Lux utility tried to access gates to Charters Towers Airport claiming he was there to read meters. As the gates were locked he asked for a cash payment for non-access but was refused.
"Then on Wednesday a customer in Ayr spoke to a man at her gate who claimed to be there to read the meters. She told him where her dogs were and he then left. The concerned customer rang Ergon and described him as being tall and wearing hi - vis clothing," he said..
Meter reading is undertaken by contractor Skilltech and their staff are required to wear identification and show it upon request he said.
'If people have concerns about anyone claiming to be a meter reader, we urge them to always ask to see official identification for security reasons."
Mr Fowler said impersonators use the trusted Ergon Energy name to solicit information, money or gain illegal access to properties.

Eminem's "Recovery" earns top spot on R&B/Hip-hop charts
By Gail Mitchell
LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - During the past 12 months, the R&B and hip-hop charts have been rife with comebacks, buzz-drawing upstarts and hitmaking assists.
Working his way up the comeback trail after the mediocre "Relapse," Eminem hit a peak with the refreshing sequel, "Recovery" (Web/Shady/Aftermath/ Interscope).
Thanks to the popularity of his hit "Love the Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna -- this year's chart-topper on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs recap -- and his earlier single "Not Afraid," Eminem ends the year reigning over multiple recaps: Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artists, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artists-Male and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Album Artists.
"Recovery" is No. 2 behind Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" on the year-end Top Billboard 200 Albums recap, with 2.7 million in sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's a grand return that set the stage for Eminem's Grammy Award nomination for album of the year.
Other members of the 2010 comeback class include Usher and Chris Brown. Usher had not one but two releases to show naysayers he definitely meant business after the lackluster sales of his 2008 album, "Here I Stand."
His new album "Raymond V Raymond" (LaFace/JLG) ends the year at No. 6 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums recap. The set spun off the hit singles "Little Freak," with the ubiquitous Nicki Minaj; the pop/dance-centric "OMG," featuring Will.i.am; "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)," featuring Plies; and "There Goes My Baby," which ranks No. 2 on the year-end Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs recap and No. 1 on the Adult R&B Songs tally. Usher's "Versus" EP came in at No. 45 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums recap.
Brown, following his sentence for domestic abuse, worked on resurrecting his career. The tide shifted for Brown in June when he performed a medley of Michael Jackson songs at the BET Awards and broke down during "Man in the Mirror."
Weeks later, Brown's single "Deuces," featuring Tyga and Kevin McCall, propelled him to No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Recorded after the release of his 2009 "Graffiti," the song no doubt spurred renewed interest in that particular project: the Grammy-nominated "Graffiti" claims a respectable No. 28 on the year-end Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums recap.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
John Henry Bullins, of Castle Hayne, died peacefully on Tuesday, April 14, 2015, at the age of 83.
John was born in Stokes County on Aug. 9, 1931, in the town of Walnut Cove, the oldest son of the late Buck and Phoebe Lawson Bullins. He was also preceded in death by two brothers, Joe and wife, Mary and James and wife, Sarah.
In his younger years John lived in Winston Salem and worked 10 years for the home office of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts establishing new stores in southern states/cities. The next 33 years he was employed with Forsyth and the New Hanover County Board of Education.
John was very active for several years with the Lions Club of Wrightsville Beach as well as Hanover Lions Club. He served three combined terms as president for the two clubs. It gave him great pleasure to play Santa for children who came to the park at Wrightsville Beach at Christmas. He enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity of working alongside fellow Lions and being a part of initiating and carrying out projects in the local communities and for the Lions Cottage at the North Carolina Boys and Girls Home at Lake Waccamaw. Raising funds for the blind was also very rewarding. John enjoyed NASCAR racing, watching wrestling and gardening. He was a championship bowler and a motorcycle enthusiast in his younger years.
John came to faith in Christ as his savior when he was 57 and was an active member and elder of Oak Grove Presbyterian Church for 12 years, serving with the gifts God had given him. He enjoyed doing projects alongside others to improve the building and grounds and fundraising to make the complete restoration of the building and grounds possible. He then served 12 years in the same capacity at McClure Memorial Presbyterian Church in Castle Hayne.
John suffered a stroke in 2009 and so ended his many years of activity. He did not lose his gift of never meeting a stranger and making people laugh and feel happy and cared about.
To be thanked and recognized for their graciousness and being there for us are our neighbors, friends, and family. We would like to especially thank our niece Jennifer Wilkes who untiringly was there for us and Lower Cape Fear Hospice which provided wonderful care.
John is survived by his loving wife of 27 years, Nancy Gore Bullins; one daughter, Linda Alexander and husband, Bob, of Winston-Salem; one son, Gary Bullins, of Winston-Salem; grandson, Cameron Alexander; great-granddaughter, Riley, of Winston-Salem; grandson, Scott Alexander and wife, Jill, of Winston-Salem; special cousin, Mary Meijboom and husband, Bert, of Pilot Mountain; stepson and friend, Jeff Clemmons and wife, Jan; granddaughter, Lacey Clemmons; grandson, Linden Clemmons; and our pet, Sophie, his protector and friend.
The family will see friends from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, April 16, 2015, at Wilmington Funeral & Cremation. Funeral services will be conducted at noon Friday, April 17, 2015, at the funeral home. Burial will follow at Oleander Memorial Gardens.
Memorials may be sent to Lower Cape Fear Hospice, 1414 Physician Drive Wilmington, NC 28401 or Boys and Girls Homes of North Carolina, 400 Flemington Drive, Lake Waccamaw, NC 28450.
Please leave online condolences for the family at Wilmington Funeral & Cremation.

United States Patent 3,660,323 PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE MASS Roger C. Raguse, Michigan City, Ind., assignor to The Scholl Mfg. Co., Inc., Chicago, Ill. N0 Drawing. Filed Mar. 30, 1970, Ser. No. 24,003 Int. Cl. C08c 9/08 U.S. Cl. 260- 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Pressure sensitive adhesive mass particularly useful for adhesive tapes, the mass including a blend of a polyisoprene, a polystyrene-polyisoprene-polystyrene block copolymer, natural rubber, and conventional additives in controlled amounts to provide an adhesive composition which evidences improved adhesion to the backing coupled with satisfactory physical properties in all other respects.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the invention This invention is in the field of pressure sensitive adhesive compositions employing both natural and synthetic rubbers in controlled amounts to provide a mass which exhibits better adhesion to the backing than comparable masses heretofore tested while retaining other desirable physical properties.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART US. Pat. No. 3,239,478 describes a block copolymer adhesive composition of the type which is included in the adhesive of the present invention. However, the pressure sensitive masses described therein, while being useful for various industrial purposes are not particularly suitable for use in the manufacture of surgical types because they do not have the combination of creep resistance, tack, adhesiveness and sufficiently low allergenic reaction toward the skin.
Some attempts have been made to modify the properties of such block copolymers by using them in conjunction with synthetic isoprene polymers. While some improvements have been achieved along these lines, it developed that the modification of the adhesive characteristics of the block copolymer by the isoprene polymer reduced the adhesion of the mass to the backing. This is particularly important when a surgical tape is applied in overlying convolutions, when it is important that the adhesive mass on one surface have an atfinity for the outer backing material of the next adjacent convolution.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an adhesive mass particularly suitable for the manufacture of surgical tapes, the adhesiveness stemming primarily from a combination of a polyisoprene polymer, a polystyrene-polyisoprene-polystyrene block copolymer and a controlled, critical amount of natural rubber. Specifically, it has been found that the addition of from to by weight of natural rubber, such as pale crepe rubber toa blend of polyisoprene rubber and a polystyrene-polyisoprene-polystyrene block copolymer very substantially improves the adhesion of the mass to the backing without detracting from its tack, holding power, low creep and absence of allergenic reactions.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent from the following description of certain preferred embodiments thereof, although variations and modifications may be effected :without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the disclosure.
3,660,323 Patented May 2, 1972 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the formulation of the adhesive mass of the present invention, the first step consists in forming a blended mixture of the adhesive components and modifiers, after which this batch is blended with one or more tackifiers in typical rubber blending machines.
The initial batch contains a mixture of a cis-l; 4 polyisoprene having a Mooney viscosity (ML4' at 212 F.) of between and with a polystyrene-polyisoprenepolystyrene block copolymer having a center block of polyisoprene having a molecular weight of from 15,000 to 250,000 and a terminal block of polystyrene at each end of the center block, each terminal block having a molecular weight of from 5,000 to 125,000. The mixture of these two synthetic rubber adhesives should contain at least 30% by weight of the polystyrene-polyisoprene-polystyrene block copolymer. Amounts in excess of 50% by weight do not provide any improvement in properties, and make the composition more expensive. To this mixture of polyisoprene polymers there is added a natural rubber composition which is preferably pale crepe rubber although other types of natural rubber can be used if color can be tolerated in the adhesive. It has been found that the addition of pale crepe rubber in an amount of 20 to 25% by weight of total polymers (polyisoprene plus block copolymer plus rubber) provides a balance of properties in the adhesive mass making it extremely suitable for use in surgical tapes.
The initial batch also contains zinc oxide in an amount of from 35 to 45% by weight of the entire batch, a plasticizer in an amount of from 1 to 3% by weight of the batch and an antioxidant in an amount up to 1% by weight of the entire batch. Lanolin is particularly prefered as a plasticizer but other materials such as hydrogenated polybutene of a molecular weight of about 3,000 to 20,000 or white mineral oil, or similar plasticizers can also be employed.
The composition also contains an antioxidant of which there are many on the market. A particularly preferred one is known as Agerite Gel which is a mixture of alkylated diphenylamines in combination with a petroleum wax.
The original batch is then blended with suitable tackifiers in an amount such that the tackifier constitutes from 25 to 35% by weight of the entire mix-ture. For the purposes of the present invention, any of the tackifiers which are normally used in adhesive tape formulations can be employed such as a dehydrogenated rosin, a hydrogenated rosin, mixtures of the two, or esters of the same such as the glycerol ester of hydrogenated rosin. In addition, suitable tackifiers such as the polyterpencs can also be employed.
The following specific examples illustrate the improvements which are achieved with the improved compositions of the present invention.
Example 1 In this and in succeeding examples, the initial batch which was to be combined with the tackifiers totaled 240 parts by weight. The polymeric constituent totaled 115 parts by weight, and the remainder consisted of 95 parts by weight of zinc oxide, 24 parts by weight starch, 5 parts by weight of lanolin, and 1 part by weight of antioxidant.
In this example, the 115 parts by weight of the polymeric materials contained 56% by weight of cis-1; 4 polyisoprene (Natsyn 400 24% by weight of the polystyrene-polyisoprene-polystyrene block copolymer (Kraton 1107) and 20% by weight of pale crepe rubber. This batch when combined in the ratio of 240 parts by weight to parts by weight of two rosin type tackifiers (55 3 parts by weight of Staybelite ester No. and 55 parts by weight of Nirez 3098 LM resin), after milling produced an adhesive mass which evidenced definitely a higher adhesion toward the backing than the same type of composition but without the pale crepe rubber.
Example 2 In this test, all of the ingredients were the same as in Example 1, with the exception that the content of the pale crepe rubber was increased to by weight of the three polymeric materials. After milling with the tackifiers, this adhesive mass evidenced excellent adhesion to backing.
Increasing the amount of natural rubber to a value in excess of 25 by weight of the polymers serves no useful purpose, as it tends to destroy the balance between the improved adhesion to backing and the adhesion to skin.
The adhesive masses of the present invention can be laid on any suitable backing material such as cotton fabric or rayon acetate and provide the improved adhesion to backing which is characteristic of the materials of the present invention.
I claim as my invention:
1. An adhesive compoistion having improved adhesion to a backing consisting essentially of a blended mixture of:
(1) a batch containing a mixture of (a) a synthetic cis-l; 4 polyisoprene having a Mooney viscosity of from 75 to 95,

2005 Ford Focus ZX4
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
The product fit perfectly in my car. I was a little worried that it wouldn't, but it did. It took a little while to splice all the wires to the new stereo system, but it wasn't horrible. I haven't had any problems at all since buying this product.
Pros: The wires colors matched up with the wires I was splicing them to so that made the process very simple. Also the wires all had a little cap on them which was very convenient.
Cons: It took a while to splice all the wires, but was not horrible.

Government begins at the grassroots
People who want to change what their government does to or for them must start by knowing who good legislators are. This starts at the lowest levels of government known as grassroots. That's us, we are the grass roots!
The path to more responsible government is to really know who you have elected in the past and to show your approval or disapproval at the ballot box. Listen to the candidates and hear what they say. Does Councilman X or Commissioner Y spend your money wisely? Do they make themselves available before important issues are voted on? Can they explain what they did on an issue and why they did it? Do they treat your tax money as theirs or yours? Do their past decisions show they know the value of a dollar? Are their values consistent with yours? Does past performance merit re-election?
Some of our elected officials aspire to higher offices and some are worthy but, some are not. If we pass on a poor legislator from the City Council to the County Board of Commissioners we have no one to blame but ourselves If we pass a poor Commissioner on to the state legislature, we have no one to blame but ourselves. If we pass a good one on, we can all congratulate ourselves because everyone benefits.
The glad handing and back slapping season will soon be on us and when a politician asks for your vote look him/her straight in the eye and say "Why should I vote for you? What are your priorities? Do you spend money wisely? What are your plans for the next legislative session." Specifically how do you intend to help our city/county? "When an important vote is going to be taken are you going to listen to the voters who put you in office or are you going to vote without knowing what we think? How will you communicate your intentions to us so we can discuss your position(before a vote is taken) if we disagree with it?" These are all perfectly legitimate questions and should be easily answered by any political candidate. You may or may not like the answers which makes the choice of who to vote for easy.
We the people have control of our destiny, but its up to each of us to take seriously the election process, know the candidates and exactly what they stand for or against. Vote for those who will do what you want done. The upcoming election is especially important and every issue you vote on and every candidate you vote for will determine our path forward.

Former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has admitted his surprise that Roman Abramovich sacked the club's "most successful" and "dearest" coach in Jose Mourinho, and insisted the decision shows the Russian billionaire owner hasn't changed his ways.
Abramovich and the Chelsea hierarchy decided to relieve Mourinho of his duties in December following the club's worst start to a season since the 1978-79 campaign, just six months after the Portuguese tactician led the Blues to the Premier League title.
Before he did that, though, Abramovich publicly backed Mourinho in October - the first time he has shown support for a struggling coach at Chelsea in such a manner - although subsequent results led the Blues owner to replace Mourinho with interim manager Guus Hiddink.
Villas-Boas - who was himself sacked by Chelsea after less than a year in charge of the club in 2012 - has now spoken out over Mourinho's departure from the team, saying he found it "incredible" Abramovich got rid of the best manager his club have ever had.
Speaking to beIN Sports, he said: "The only thing that has been quite incredible to see is that it was applied to everybody. It was applied for their dearest coach and their most successful coach.
Chelsea vs Everton - player ratings
Chelsea vs Everton - player ratings
1/13 Thibaut Courtois: 6
Only had to deal with one test in the first half, but rose to the challenge in fine fashion when he made a diving save to deny Lennon. Couldn't do too much about the first two goals, with his defence massively letting him down, but was caught ball-watching ahead of Everton's third.
2/13 Branislav Ivanovic: 5
Did well to get forward and help in Chelsea's attack while tracking back when needed. But the right-back let himself down late on when he completely failed to mark Funes Mori for Everton's third, although he went forward and was then involved in Chelsea's late equaliser.
3/13 Kurt Zouma: 6
Was superb in the first half, as he made several clearances and used his pace to cover for Terry twice. A rare slip which allowed Lennon a shot at goal and his failure to track the run of Funes Mori and indeed Lukaku ahead of Everton's third was costly.
4/13 John Terry: 6
On what was his 700th club appearance, the Chelsea captain started the game having to be helped by Zouma after being outpaced by Lukaku, and then scored an own goal when he failed to sort out his feet in time to deal with Baines' cross. However, he salvaged his day with a well-taken equaliser late on which appeared offside on later inspection.
5/13 Cesar Azpilicueta: 6
Defended well enough while proving important when Chelsea went on the attack in the second half in search of goals, regularly linking up with his teammates to help create chances with his overlapping runs.
6/13 Nemanja Matic: 5
Making his return to the starting line-up, the midfielder lost concentration at time, giving the ball away and being unable to dominate despite being paired with another defensive player in Mikel. Was hauled off for Oscar in the second half.
7/13 John Obi Mikel: 4
Was sloppy, like Matic, at times during the first period and was forced to use his strength to try and control proceedings in the middle of the park although he was lucky to escape a booking for it. He then disappointed when he failed to apply any pressure on Mirallas ahead of the winger's goal.
8/13 Willian: 6
Another hard-working performance from the Brazilian which saw him have the only shot of the first half although it was saved and come close to scoring another in the second with the score locked at 2-2
9/13 Cesc Fabregas: 8
Started the game further up the pitch in the 'hole', and despite losing possession once, the Spaniard linked up well with his teammates to create attacks - nearly scoring with a back-heel effort as Chelsea trailed 2-0. But he really flourished when Oscar came on, dropping deep and first providing the long-range pass that Costa scored from before getting a goal himself. His revival under Hiddink continues.
10/13 Pedro: 5
Appeared to be trying hard to impress following his disappointing showing against West Brom. Although he made his presence felt across the midfield areas while making sure he didn't ignore his defensive duties, he needs to be stronger to avoid giving away possession - exemplified by when he was outmuscled by Mirallas. His improvement in the second half, however, shows he still has something to offer Chelsea.
11/13 Diego Costa: 8
Hardly had an impact in the first half, aside from nearly carving out a chance for himself and being involved in Willian's chance, but sprung into life in the second period. The striker used his pace to outmuscle Jagielka and score before setting up Fabregas for Chelsea's second.
12/13 Kenedy: 7
Injected pace into Chelsea's attacking play and nearly created a goal for Costa, but the striker couldn't convert. He then started the move that ended in Terry scoring.
13/13 Oscar: 6
His substitution in the second half allowed Fabregas to return to his more comfortable position beside Mikel while the Brazilian then started the move that led to the Spaniard's equaliser and was involved in Terry's goal. An inspired change from Hiddink although he has to take the blame for allowing Deulofeu to send the cross into the area for goal-scorer Funes Mori.
"So in the end, we have seen nothing different. Roman has sacked basically every coach he had and is no different - it happened even to the best.
"The same criteria he applied to me, to Rafa Benitez and for all the other coaches, he has applied to Jose as well. And it's [now] a new chapter."

How much strength has EUR/USD?
EUR/USD is enjoying powerful support in the 1.1100/1.1050 – here one can find January low, late March and early April highs and May minimum. During the past week the single currency has managed to confidently overcome the 100-day MA below which it used to trade for a year.
The pair has 2 main drivers of growth: weak statistics from the US and rising 10-year German bund yields. The top in the euro will be confirmed only when demand for these securities picks up and their yields turn down.
Traders keep closing short positions on the euro: dollar's exchange rate has prices in strong policy divergence between the ECB and the Fed, and now these expectations are being played back. Even the expected absence of the Fed's rate hike in June will affect the US dollar. EUR/USD may rise to 1.1535/1.1585 и 1.1600 before the sellers get active once again. Near-term support is at 1.1200.
However, risks for the euro remain: Greece will soon run out of money. In 2 weeks the nation will once again be on the verge of default. Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis claimed that he may call for the emergency meeting of the Eurogroup to ask for the delay of the debt repayments which are currently set on July and August. In the long-term if the euro keeps rising, this will hurt the euro area's economy.
Next week there will be even 3 speeches of Mario Draghi – one on Thursday and two on Friday. In his last speech the ECB's President repeated that the central bank aims to conduct QE in full volume. In addition, pay attention to the release of German and the euro area's economic sentiment indexes on Tuesday as well as the European PMIs on Thursday.

Eagle Bar Diner
If you're looking for service with a smile, this is not the place. On every occassion we've eaten here the service has not been good -we've either stood at the front waiting for ages to be seated, had our food literally thrown on the table or found it impossible to get a waiter's attention to pay the bill. However, their milkshakes, burgers & fries are fantastic, which is why we keep going back.

Had a wonderful meal at Spoon. The fillet with foie gras was superb and if you have a sweet tooth, the desserts are a must! Good service & attentive sommelier with a great choice of wine made it a very pleasant evening over all. Of course it's pricey, find a restaurant at a five star hotel that isn't!

Mezz Mezz in Mezza… Wla A7la By Radisson Blu Hotel Cairo Heliopolis
Radisson Blu Hotel Cairo Heliopolis has convened its Mezza Lebanese Restaurant Grand Opening Ceremony May 22nd 2014 @ 7:00 pm.
The Opening moment we believe where the red ribbon is cut, giving us the new feeling of a new fresh start full of hope is always memorable. Therefore we didn't found a better memory than sharing it with the Lebanese Consul, Antoine Azzam as a dear guest of honor who revealed his missing for a real Lebanese cuisine and atmosphere. His majesty added according to the hotel's service and atmosphere "the house is beautiful with its habitants and your hotel is beautiful", which was a great motivator especially on such a day.
The celebration started @ the outdoor terrace where was a Lebanese music and low lights system atmosphere giving the place a cozy sensation besides the grilling and fresh baking bread that took place, feeling at home. Some time was trimmed for guests to be welcomed by a welcoming special drink and appetizers, invited by our staff and managers as well as introduced to each other.
All were waiting for the surprise and the celebration candy who was one of the most famous and professional belly dancers; Shams. Shams had put the celebration on fire for a full one hour waking all guests up and predisposing them for chilling and entertaining to the blast with her rousing performance and sexy suits.
