There are many lenders who are willing to give out bad credit personal loans. The difficult aspect for many individuals is finding these lenders. The number one spot to start your search is online. There are many online institutions providing this service. It is important that you find a credible source before filling out your application.
There are some things an online financial institution is going to require. If you are not asked for any of the following, it is best to move on to another source.
Regular and Reliable Income
There is not one credible source that is willing to lend you money that is not going to ask you for a verifiable source of income. Whether it is through paycheck stubs of tax forms, you must have an income. A lending institution needs to be able to prove you have the means to pay back a loan.
Thorough Application
The application is likely to be quite thorough and looks to obtain as much information as possible. It is important to fill in as many details as possible to improve your chances of securing the loan.
Be cautious of sites that are offering personal loans for bad credit that are only asking for a name, telephone number, and social security number as this are typical scams.
Finally, look at the fine print on the website. There are many unscrupulous lenders that will hide hidden fees on the page, Many times this is associated with an application fee. If a site is asking that you enter in your credit or personal checking account, it should be another one of those red flags popping up. Proceed at your own risk or find another lender.
Do not feel as though you have to be scammed or overcharged to fix your financial situation. Bad credit loans are meant to be a second chance, not an opportunity to knock you further down. Always read and research before you sign on with any lender to protect yourself.
Rules for Borrowing Cash Loans Wisely
Cash loans are very useful but they can get expensive. Here are the rules to make the most out of them.
Getting a cashloan could be one of the fastest ways to dig you out from a financial rut, but you have to borrow wisely in order to maximize their benefits. For one, you need to make sure that the cash loans you get are the most affordable ones you can find. Simply settling for the first loan lender you find will forfeit the chances of you getting the best loan deals.
Second, you need to make sure that cash loans make financial sense for that specific circumstance. If the need for cash is not very urgent and you can save up for that expense, you should just take cash loans to the back seat and reserve them for more important matters.
Lastly, make sure you can afford your cash loans and that you can pay it back on time. Don't take cash loans just to compete with the Joneses as that will set you up for more debts. Instead, use them to make your life better and to pay for your basic needs.

Vitamin A supplementation in HIV-infected women during pregnancy
Over 1000 new cases of mother-to-child transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) occur worldwide every day, making this the main route of transmission of HIV infection in children. Vitamin A deficiency also affects about 19 million pregnant women, mostly from the WHO regions of Africa and South-East Asia, and has been associated with an increase in the risk of transmission of HIV from mother to child.
During pregnancy, vitamin A is essential for maternal health and for the healthy development of the fetus. As vitamin A also plays an important role in immune function, it has been suggested that providing vitamin A supplements to HIV positive women during pregnancy may reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Results from studies to date are inconsistent however, with the majority providing no clear indication of benefit.
WHO recommendations
Vitamin A supplementation in HIV-positive pregnant women is not recommended as a public health intervention for reducing the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
Additional information for this recommendation can be found in the guidance summary and in the guideline, under 'WHO documents' below.
This is one of several WHO recommendations on vitamin A supplementation. The full set of recommendations can be found in 'Full set of recommendations'.

Declining demand for central business district office space has prompted analysts at Morgan Stanley to downgrade their rent growth forecasts.
The Morgan Stanley analysts, led by Lou Pirenc, expect prime gross effective rents in CBDs to fall 3 per cent in 2013, compared with their previous forecast of 0.6 per cent growth.
The downgrade comes amid a wave of white-collar job losses and weak business sentiment. The biggest downgrade was for Sydney, where the analysts now expect a 5.2 per cent decline this year, compared with the 1 per cent fall previously forecast.
In Melbourne, rents are tipped to fall by 2.7 per cent this year. In Perth and Brisbane, rents are expected to rise but less than previously forecast, by 2.3 per cent and 0.8 per cent, respectively.
The outlook for Canberra and Adelaide has improved, with smaller declines – of 3.7 per cent and 5.6 per cent respectively – now anticipated.
However, office markets are expected to improve in 2014. "On balance, we believe it is not unrealistic to expect a pick-up in demand in 2014 unless we see more severe macro signals," the analysts said.
Jones Lang LaSalle's figures for the December quarter showed the national CBD vacancy rate rose to 8.8 per cent in the final quarter of 2012.
Morgan Stanley expects the vacancy rate to peak at 10.8 per cent this year before easing to 9 per cent by 2017.
Even though the current supply planned and under construction was subdued, lower demand would lead to higher vacancy and lower rent growth, the analysts said.
JLL's full-year figures for 2012 show the extent of the weakening.
Space take-up was at a comparable level to the lows of 2009 and was about 20 per cent of the 10-year average at 55,900 square metres.
JLL's head of capital markets research, Andrew Ballantyne, said the result reflected a lack of confidence across corporate Australia.
Available sub-lease space rose during the year, to 1.14 per cent of total stock, but it remains well below the peak of 2 per cent in 2009.
The markets remained mixed, however, with the overall CBD vacancy rising in Melbourne (to 8.1 per cent), Brisbane (9.9 per cent), Perth (5.6 per cent), Adelaide (11.4 per cent) and Canberra (11.1 per cent). Only Sydney posted a fall, dropping to 8.4 per cent, according to JLL.
In light of the forecasts, Morgan Stanley cited a preference for
The downgrade follows the release last week of the Property Council of Australia/ANZ property sentiment survey, which showed that industry participants had turned negative on capital growth expectations in the office sector.

Cataplexy is a sudden, brief loss of voluntary muscle tone triggered by strong emotions such as laughter.
The condition is most commonly associated with narcolepsy, a sleep disorder affecting less than 1% of the general population.
Cataplexy occurs during waking hours. Attacks can be a barely visible weakness in a muscle, such as drooping of the eyelids, or as severe as a total body collapse. As cataplexy is a neurological problem, it can be misdiagnosed as a seizure disorder.
There is no cure for cataplexy, but it can be managed with medications and modification of potential triggers.
Contents of this article:
Here are some key points about cataplexy. More detail and supporting information is in the main article.
- During an episode of cataplexy, an individual is awake but temporarily paralyzed (either partially or fully)
- The brain's amygdala and prefrontal cortex contain neural pathways through which positive emotions are suspected to trigger cataplectic attacks
- Narcolepsy with cataplexy is currently thought to be an autoimmune-mediated disorder
- Cataplexy without narcolepsy is rare
- Onset of cataplexy typically occurs in childhood or adolescence
- Cataplexy is worsened by fatigue
- Cataplexy affects males and females equally
- Cataplexy can occur after the abrupt discontinuation of an antidepressant medication
- One difference between a seizure and cataplexy is that a seizure can occur at any time and is not primarily triggered by periods of strong emotion
- Sodium oxybate is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cataplexy
- The word cataplexy means "to strike down."
What is cataplexy?
During an episode of cataplexy, the individual can lose muscle control on both sides of the body, occasionally leading to full body collapse.
Cataplexy is a sudden loss of muscle control, usually on both sides of the body, triggered by strong, often pleasant emotions. While laughter is the most typical trigger, other triggers may include happiness, excitement, annoyance, surprise or a stressful event.
Cataplexy is most often associated with narcolepsy, but can occur with other rare disorders such as Niemann-Pick type C disease, Prader-Willi syndrome and Wilson's disease.
Occasionally, cataplexy can be seen in other medical conditions including stroke, multiple sclerosis, head injury and encephalitis.
The duration of a cataplexy attack is brief, lasting anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, followed by a rapid return of normal muscle tone and function.
Causes of cataplexy
The REM sleep disassociation hypothesis suggests that cataplexy is the muscle paralysis that normally occurs during REM sleep intruding into waking hours. The underlying cause of this intrusion is unknown, but a loss of hypocretin (also known as orexin), a neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of the sleep/wake cycle, is thought to be the major contributing factor.
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation in 2010 revealed that the loss of hypocretin is caused by an autoimmune response targeting tribbles, or trib 2 antibodies. This autoimmune response also kills neurons in the brain that produce hypocretin.
The frequency of cataplectic episodes varies from less than one per year to several per day, with the average person affected by cataplexy experiencing one or more per week.
Symptoms of cataplexy
Cataplectic attacks have a wide range of variability; they may be mild and barely noticeable or severe with full body collapse.
Cataplexy episodes may include:
- Facial twitching, flickering or grimacing
- Unusual tongue movements
- Jaw tremor
- Head or jaw dropping
- Knee trembling or buckling
- Drooping eyelid
- Speech difficulty.
It is important to note an individual experiencing cataplexy remains conscious, is able to breathe and can move their eyes.
On the next page, we look at the diagnosis of cataplexy and the available treatment options for the condition.

People of the Screen
Screens are everywhere. From chatting with friends to reading the news to (maybe) signing up for healthcare, we are interacting with our world through screens more and more and through traditional print less and less. And, as the speed with which new screen-related technologies are produced increases, the shift away from printed text as a primary source of information is only becoming more profound. What this means for teachers is that our understanding of literacy- reading and writing- needs to mirror this change in order for us to adequately prepare our students to navigate intelligently through a world of screens.
To accommodate this shift, it's important that we begin to think explicitly about teaching visual literacy skills. Visual literacy refers to one's ability to interpret, evaluate, use and create images and visual media. As screens proliferate and take on more important roles in our lives, they dictate not just how we "read" information but, with the rise of new technologies which allow regular people to create and share digital information, how we "write" it as well.
In his NY Times article "Becoming Screen Literate," author Kevin Kelly writes that the rise of screen culture heralds an important shift in how we interact with the world around us, similar to the way the invention of the printing press, "by means of cheap and perfect copies, elevated writing into a central position in the culture" and upheld text as "the engine of change and the foundation of stability." Only, this time (as Lawrence Lessig has also pointed out), it's not just a privileged few doing the publishing. The masses are picking up the tools and telling their own unique stories, and they're not just using words to write.
More and more, Kelly argues, writing today means digitally remixing images and sounds selected from a vast cache (known as the Internet), much the same way an author mixes individual words in a lexicon to form unique sentences, paragraphs, and stories.
In fact, the habits of the mashup are borrowed from textual literacy. You cut and paste words on a page. You quote verbatim from an expert. You paraphrase a lovely expression. You add a layer of detail found elsewhere. You borrow the structure from one work to use as your own. You move frames around as if they were phrases…
As moving images become easier to create, easier to store, easier to annotate and easier to combine into complex narratives, they also become easier to be remanipulated by the audience. This gives images a liquidity similar to words. Fluid images made up of bits flow rapidly onto new screens and can be put to almost any use. Flexible images migrate into new media and seep into the old. Like alphabetic bits, they can be squeezed into links or stretched to fit search engines, indexes and databases. They invite the same satisfying participation in both creation and consumption that the world of text does.
His article is actually quite fascinating (despite being 5 years old!) and underscores the idea that teaching visual literacy is not optional or "fluff" content. Furthermore, if we want to teach our students to be visually literate, it's important to remember that literacy means fluency in both reading and writing, coding and decoding, constructing and deconstructing. Whether we're talking about traditional literacy (i.e. print) or digital literacy (of which visual literacy, media literacy, and computer literacy are often considered subsets), these skills are complimentary, and reinforce one another.
Writing Digital Stories
One way to develop students' visual literacy skills is through digital storytelling. Digital storytelling is just what it sounds like- it's telling stories through the use of digital media. Telling a good digital story utilizes the same age-old storytelling techniques as telling a traditional story- it's got to have a strong beginning, middle, and end, create an emotional impact, etc. – but the tools and the product are different. Digital stories involve layering a narrative with images and sounds in order to create a direct emotional impact in the viewer, while written words can do this indirectly. Reading the word "bird" requires a kind of mental "translation" that viewing a picture of a bird does not. Asking students to create digital stories requires them to exercise critical thinking skills to write texts which utilize a variety of senses to effectively communicate a complex, layered message.
I recently asked my 8th grade ELA students to create "book trailers" for stories that they had read. With this project, I wanted to see that they could take a story and whittle it down to its essence- identify the main characters and conflict- while using the literary elements we'd been talking about- like mood and suspense- to successfully capture the viewer's attention and get them interested in reading the story.
First, the disclaimer: This is the first digital story project I've done with these students this year, and the timeline was a bit rushed. That being said, here's the process we went through, lumps and all:
1. Research examples. We checked out YouTube and found a ton of sample, student-made book trailers, of varying quality. Students got together in pairs, selected three sample trailers, and evaluated them using a rubric. (They were required to select at least one they thought was a bad trailer, and one they thought was good.) Students added their own comments, and then met in groups to discuss common elements of good and bad trailers. We made a list of these elements together as a class.
Now, this sounds like a really good activity- and it was- but it certainly didn't eliminate a lot of the same mistakes from showing up in my students' videos. After watching their completed videos we talked about why that was, and they pointed out that it's far easier to criticize than create. True that. Sometimes it just takes doing a thing to learn it. I'm looking forward to seeing them apply these lessons to their next project.
2. Write a script. Students wrote scripts for their book trailers. These served as the backbones of their trailers, on top of which they layers images and sounds. Writing a solid script relies on time-tested storytelling skills, and is one of the most important steps in the entire process. Digital storytelling is still storytelling, and a digital story can only ever be as good as the story it tells. Without a clear storyline or a strong emotional pull, viewers are left confused and/or disinterested. In the past, I've spent up to a week on this step alone with students. This time, however, due to time constraints, we kind of breezed through it, and I think it shows. This is definitely a step worth investing some time, and requiring multiple drafts is a good idea.
3. Talk about copyright. Since students would be using images and sounds they found on the web in their movies, which they would then be sharing with me and the world through YouTube, it was important that they understood which images and sounds are legal to use, and where to find them. There are many resources available for talking about copyright with students (Common Sense Media is a good place to start), as well as resources for finding copyright-friendly images and sounds. I introduced the topic with my students and supplied them with links to websites where they could find copyright-friendly material, but it didn't quite sink in. I got a lot of movies that (I'm pretty sure) clearly violate copyright law. This is something I struggle with, as it's difficult (and time consuming) to verify the legality of images and sounds sometimes, even with sources that are cited. It's definitely something I need to work on figuring out in the future.
4. Create a storyboard. This is where the digital part comes in. Students divided their stories into scenes, and then gathered ideas for images and sounds that could effectively underscore the narrative in each scene. They also decided when they wanted to speak the words of their narrative (what they'd written in their script), and when they wanted the words to appear as graphics on the screen. (Or, in the case of one video, when to appear on large, hand-written cards that the character holds up as they are spoken through a voice-over.) I think it's important to allow students to work on their storyboards as they search for material for their story, instead of separating the two into separate steps. You never know what you'll find until you start looking, and sometimes it's the unexpected finds that yield the best results. Once they'd settled on all of their images, music and sound effects, they recorded all of these ideas into a graphic organizer called a storyboard.
In the past when I've done digital stories, I've spent considerable time with students on discussing how a storyboard works- how it's a flat representation of a layered text. We talk about how to read one, and then I have them create one based on a video that we watch together. It wasn't until, again due to time constraints, I skipped those steps this time around that I thought, yeah, storyboards are actually pretty complicated visual tools, and I probably shouldn't have rushed through explaining them. Consequently, I ended up having a lot of one-on-one meetings with students to fix their storyboards.
5. Pick a tool and create! For this step, students were on their own. They had a week over vacation to put their movies together. Most used iMovie, although they were free to chose whatever tool they felt most comfortable with. Fortunately, most of them are pretty tech savvy (or have brothers or sisters who are) and they didn't express much concern about having to tackle this step by themselves. The results, however, show that they could have used a little guidance. Some students got carried away with the graphics, causing individual words to crawl interminably across the screen until they formed a complete sentence. Others had sound issues, and others who opted to use live actors could have benefitted from some instruction in the art of lighting and costume design. I think, were I to do the project again, I would ask students to peer review each other's film before the due date, and then give them some time to fix issues. After all, they proved to be highly skilled at critiquing other people's films.
And that's it!
Here are two examples of my students' book trailers. May they pique your interest!

Young filmmakers in St Albans and Harpenden have addressed issues of drug abuse and mental health in their latest entries for this year's Film Festival.
Pupils from Sir John Lawes School in Harpenden and Fleetville School in St Albans are just two schools across the district who have entered into the Young Student Film category at the second St Albans Film Festival.
Hilary Greatorex, actress and the festival's schools' coordinator, said: "Last year, we had 60 entrants for the Young Student Film, which included applicants from Canada and the US. The winner was 12-year-old Oscar Simmonns, who is a pupil at Beaumont School.
"His short film 'Dog' was about a lonely old lady who befriends a toy dog. He went on to become the overall winner of last year's BFI Kids for Kids Award at the National Film Theatre in London for another film, 'A Spark', which he wrote, filmed and directed.
"We were incredibly lucky to find such a talent on our doorstep. He's hoping to make filmmaking his career, so he's well on his way."
"We want his story to inspire other young filmmakers like Oscar to enter - especially those from the local area."
Ms Greatorex is now keen to encourage school children with a passion for film to grab their phones, tablets or video cameras to put together a short film that they can enter into the of the second Film Festival, which takes place over the weekend of May 1 to May 4.
Schoolchildren can enter as an individual or a group or class from school, a club they attend such as a Brownies or Cubs group, or even a football or music group.
The deadline for entries to be sent in is March 1, and children will be in with a chance of winning a cash prize as well as seeing their film screened at the festival and attending the festivals' red carpet awards ceremony.
Entrants must be aged between five and 15-years-old and the film must be edited and no longer than 20 minutes.
Forms are available at http://www.stalbansfilmfestival.com/submissions.php and films can be sent in on a DVD or USB.
Alternatively, films can be uploaded at http://www.stalbansfilmfestival.com/submityourfilm.php or a link to the film with an entry form can be sent to email@example.com.

An expert science review panel recommended CSIRO boost support for oceanographer Trevor McDougall's globally significant climate research, just months before Australia's peak science agency dumped the award-winning scientist, documents reveal.
Two internal reports, obtained by The Canberra Times, show CSIRO also rejected the panel's recommendation the agency appoint a science advisory committee to clear up confusion over ''science vision at a higher level'' among executives responsible for running its marine and atmospheric research division.
DOCUMENTS: Read the expert review and the CSIRO response
The documents show an independent performance review panel - which included Professor Chet Koblinsky, head of climate programs for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the United States - praised Dr McDougall's research as impressive and world-renowned. His research had made important contributions to understanding ''world ocean circulation and its chemistry'', and had helped make CSIRO a world leader in this area, the report said.
But CSIRO said it was ''unlikely'' to increase funding for Dr McDougall's area of ''fundamental research'' and suggested there was already ''a slight imbalance'' to be rectified.
Sources at CSIRO told The Canberra Times there was ''one research scientist working in that area, and that was Dr McDougall, so if there was an imbalance, it was a case of one being one too many''.
Dr McDougall, who is regarded as one of the world's leading climate researchers, was made redundant by CSIRO last year, less than six months after receiving the peer-nominated Prince Albert medal for ocean research - his seventh major science award. He received the medal for recent research on ocean thermodynamics, which created new world standards for measuring the properties of seawater.
Last month, more than 160 of the world's top oceans and climate scientists signed a letter emailed to CSIRO chief executive Megan Clark, protesting at Dr McDougall's dismissal. The letter accused CSIRO of ''relinquishing its responsibility'' to global climate science, and abandoning ''high-impact research''.
Dr Clark did not reply, but The Canberra Times has obtained a copy of a letter sent to the group's co-ordinator, Professor Carsten Eden in Germany, by CSIRO's environment executive Andrew Johnson.
In a one-page reply, Dr Johnson defends the agency's decision ''to cease support'' for Dr McDougall's research as arising from CSIRO's changing research priorities.
''I can assure you that it was not taken lightly, or without regard for Dr McDougall's outstanding science,'' he wrote.
Dr Johnson said CSIRO had discussed ''alternative pathways for [Dr McDougall's] work to continue in an organisation whose mission more closely aligns with his aspirations''.
He said the expert panel's report suggested there was a risk of the division's research ''being spread too thin''.
It had also recommended it ''focus on a smaller number of areas in which to further develop the depth of research necessary to lead in the future''.
But according to the panel's report, one of those areas was Dr McDougall's ''fundamental research'' into ocean climate and chemistry.
It states, ''fundamental research is needed to understand circulation processes from the surface to the ocean bottom'' and warns it is ''absolutely crucial'' existing research be maintained and expanded.
The independent review of the Hobart division involved a team of six experts, flying to Hobart for a week of research presentations and assessments. The experts were Professor Andy Rosenberg, Professor Ron Prinn and Professor Koblinsky, of the US, Professor Jan de Leeuw, of the Netherlands and Australian scientists, Professor Dave Griggs and John Manners.
Their report also said the division's management structure was confusing to external clients.

The Utah Medical Finesse II ESU2-110 Electrosurgical Generator is in excellent condition and certified to proper operating specifications.
Warranty: 6 Months - Parts and Labor.
The ESU2-110 Generator and smoke evacuation system has been designed to meet the highest performance and safety standards required for loop electrosurgery procedures. It has preset levels which have been selected for optimal performance of loop excision of the transformation zone (the LETZ procedure). The preset output levels provide added convenience while maintaining superior cutting performance.
- Integrated electrosurgical generator and smoke evacuation system in a single compact unit for operating areas with limited space.
- Controlled output circuitry maintains ideal cutting voltage for uncompromised histopathology.
- Automatically activating three-stage filtration system for efficient particle capture and odor control.
- Meet ANSI/AAMI HF-18 standards for patient lead isolation and system safety.
Integrated Smoke Evacuation: The Generator utilizes a design that integrates the electrosurgical generator and smoke evacuation system into a single compact unit. This results in an optimal design for operating areas with limited space, especially offices. It also allows simultaneous "single switch" activation of both modules by either the handswitch control pen or footswitch.
Controlled Output Circuitry: Incorporates controlled output circuitry to produce the best histological tissue specimen for the pathologist. Controlled output circuitry maintains the output voltage within the ideal cutting range to produce a specimen with minimal thermal damage at the margins. It also allows the generator to be set at a preferred 'cut' power output setting, but continuously adjusts itself to meet the minimum needs for optimal cutting. This eliminates any need to adjust the output setting when changing loop sizes.
Three-Stage Particle Filtration: The Finesse II utilizes a three-stage filtration system to evacuate and filter the smoke plume produced during electrosurgery. The filtration system includes an activated charcoal filter which absorbs odorous gases, and HEPA and ULPA filters which remove solid particles and aerosols. The three filters provide a minimum efficiency of 99.999% for particles at 0.1 microns.
Safety: Each system meets ANSI/AAMI HF-18 standards for patient lead isolation. This provides protection for both patient and clinician by reducing the possibility of creating an alternate current path that could result in shock or burn. In addition, the systems will sound an alarm and automatically shut off should an interruption occur in the connection to the dispersive pad.

Traumatic head injury, or brain injury, is the main cause of disability in people under forty. Although survival rates have greatly improved in recent years, due to the advent of new brain imaging techniques, such as MRI and PET scanning and advances in acute care, it's important to start head injury rehabilitation as early as possible to maximise long-term positive outcomes.
Recent developments in cognitive neuroscience have greatly helped doctors understand head injuries and brain damage. This has led to increasing survival rates and the need for a complex network of long-term head injury rehabilitation services. People with severe head injuries have a very wide variety of needs depending on the extent of their injuries and the exact nature of the damage in the brain. The nature of their disability can result in a unique interplay of problems involving physical, cognitive, and behaviour difficulties, requiring a combination of professionals to help them rehabilitate.
This article on head injury / brain injury rehabilitation is written by Jackie Griffiths, a freelance journalist who writes health, medical, biological, and pharmaceutical articles for national and international journals, newsletters and web sites.
Physical problems after head injury
The right hemisphere of the brain is responsible for movement in the left side of the body, and the left hemisphere is responsible for movement along the right side, so any brain damage that's more severe on one side is likely to result in more pronounced problems to do with movement on a particular side of the body. Problems resulting from brain injury can also include difficulties with vision, touch, taste, and the movement of facial muscles.
Cognitive problems after head injury
A head injury can cause people to have difficulties with their memory, concentration, speaking, processing and calculating etc. Short term memory is usually more affected than long term memory, meaning that people often have clear memories of the past but a poor recollection of events that have happened afterwards.
Behavioural problems after head injury
Friends and family can be surprised by the apparent changes in the person's behaviour or personality after brain injury. Patients may seem to have a lack of self-control and may become uninhibited so that things they may previously never have said or done are now spoken and acted out. This can be very distressing for family members if their loved one experiences sudden mood swings, acts impulsively, or appears sexually uninhibited. Other patients have great difficulty in expressing emotions and can appear cold and unresponsive.
Many of these problems spontaneously resolve themselves over time, however if the head injury has been severe and brain damage extensive, the individual may need help for many years with learning how to cope and overcome the effects.
The process of continued learning, improvement, and support, starting from immediately after the recovery of consciousness, and sometimes continuing until several years after, is called the process of rehabilitation.
Building and expanding upon a person's natural recovery process, head or brain injury rehabilitation often involves a wide variety of medical professionals, from nurses, doctors, and physiotherapists, to occupational and speech language therapists, social workers, and clinical psychologists. A vital part of the recovery process, research shows that patients get better long-term results if rehabilitation starts as early as possible.
The overall aim of rehabilitation after serious head injury is to enable individuals to move from a state of high dependence in hospital, to being able to function independently and successfully at home and in society.
While still in hospital, and immediately after the head injury, rehabilitation begins by helping the patient regain basic skills, such as washing, dressing, speech, and communication. Once they've been made medically stable the emphasis of rehabilitation changes, and family and friends play a more important part in helping them regain a level of normality and independence. Although progress is most notable and visible in the first six months, changes and improvements can continue for years – some research suggests that up to ten years after patients are still rehabilitating. Maintaining informal rehabilitation at home is very important, with research showing that people whose families actively engage in helping them with rehabilitation have better recovery rates.

Though not aimed specifically at architects, the Sun Seeker app, developed by the Australian app company ozPDA, offers valuable solar information that makes site visits all the more meaningful. The app's main function is to show sun paths in an overhead view, with sunrise and sunset times, as well as solar angles listed in a detail view. The feature architects will find most valuable is Sun Seeker's overlays of the current day's solar path, with the solstice sun paths, merged with live views from their smartphone or tablet's built-in camera and compass to show augmented 3D views. This can be particularly handy for architects who want to visualize where louvers might be necessary to block harsh low-angle sunlight in the summer months, and where to seek optimal solar gain in winter, without having to run back to the office to start up Ecotect. The next time you find yourself wondering if you'll need to spec window shades, seek out this app instead. • $5.99–$8.99; ozpda.com
For a demonstration of how the app looks on a smartphone, see the video below:

Brittany Murphy in a horror film? I guess everyone has to try it at least once, right? Unless you count Cherry Falls or The Prophecy II, but both of those were before she was "big".
It was announced during AFM that Murphy has signed on to play the lead in Mick Davis' 3:30 AM, a psychological horror film about a girl who moves to the country from New York after the death of her father and gets a job in what I would only guess is a haunted country hotel. The Variety article states the film is about the connection between dreams and reality, which is just far too vague for my tastes.
The only Mick Davis I could find out there is the man who wrote both the original and the David Goyer remake of The Invisible, so it's probably safe to assume it's the same guy. Davis wrote 3:30 AM, as well, and will direct it, with Milcoz and Future Films co-producing it.
Wake up early with Brittany Murphy in the Dread Central forums!

The Senate on Wednesday will hold six hours of debate and votes on four different Republican budget resolutions, in an apparent attempt to demonstrate that they will not be supported in the Democratic-led Senate.
A fifth budget measure up for a vote, from Senate Budget Committee ranking member Jeff SessionsJeff SessionsSenate panel advances measure to protect medical marijuana states Sessions is the nicest man in town — but don't mistake that for weakness Sessions: Trump's attacks on me were 'hurtful' MORE (R-Ala.), is based on President Obama's budget and is seen as an attempt to embarrass the White House.
"We are going to see, from some of my colleagues on the other side, truly extreme plans, and I hope they will be voted down tomorrow," Conrad said on the Senate floor. "Tomorrow will be an interesting day to discuss different members' views of the fiscal future of this country."
"We will then have a chance to debate tomorrow longer-term plans, and I'll be interested to see what some of our colleagues say about some of the truly extraordinary and extreme budget plans that are being offered by my colleagues on the other side."
Senate Majority Leader Harry ReidHarry ReidConservative Senate candidate calls on GOP to end filibuster Ex-Reid aide: McConnell's 'original sin' was casting ObamaCare as 'partisan, socialist takeover' GOP faces growing demographic nightmare in West MORE (D-Nev.) dismissed the GOP plans as gimmicks.
"These are not issues that are serious in nature, they are all just for show," he said. "All these ridiculous budgets they have are non-binding. The president doesn't have to sign them."
"They are really, really absurd," he said. Reid claimed that one plan makes $7 trillion in accounting errors.
But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnellMitch McConnellGOP senators: House agreeing to go to conference on ObamaCare repeal Ryan drops border-tax proposal as GOP unifies around principles Pence raises million for PAC at fundraiser: report MORE (R-Ky.) argued that "the Senate has not passed a budget as required by law. Fortunately we will be having budget votes tomorrow on a number of different Republican alternatives. We believe that the law ought to be followed."
McConnell pointed out that procedurally the budget votes are allowed under the 1974 Budget act which allows any member to bring up a budget if the Budget Committee fails to report one. He said this is confirmation that Reid's argument that the top-line spending number in the August debt ceiling deal does not constitute a full "budget."
"I know that our friends on the other side of the aisle said that because of the Budget Control Act we already have a budget, but the parliamentarian does not view that as the case or we wouldn't be allowed to have these votes that will occur tomorrow," he said.
One of the four GOP budget resolutions to be debated Wednesday is H.Con.Res. 112, the budget resolution approved by the House in March.
Also up is S.Con.Res. 37 from Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.); S.Con.Res. 42 from Sen. Rand PaulRand PaulTrump's attacks stun Republican senators Overnight Tech: Trump touts new Wisconsin electronics plant | Lawmakers to unveil email privacy bill | Facebook funds group fighting election hacks Bare-bones repeal plan gains steam in Senate MORE (R-Ky.) and S.Con.Res. 44 from Paul and Sens. Mike LeeMike LeeHow do you get lower cost drugs? Give the FDA a bigger stick The Memo: Justice Department veterans reeling over Sessions drama Overnight Cybersecurity: Facebook invests in group fighting election hacking | House panel advances DHS cyber revamp bill | Lawmakers mull cyber insurance for small businesses MORE (R-Utah) and Jim DeMint (R-S.C.). The Sessions resolution based on Obama's budget is S.Con.Res. 41.
Sessions said Tuesday that Democrats were showing a lack of leadership on the budget by failing to produce their own resolution.
"The party running the Senate has neither written nor offered a budget plan for our nation's financial future, preferring instead to call for higher taxes to fund endless government growth and waste," he said. "The budget votes expected this week will once again bring into crystal focus that the party running the Senate is refusing to meet its financial obligations and responsibly plan for the economic future of the United States."
Under an agreement read by Conrad, the resolutions will be debated concurrently for six hours, which will be followed by individual votes on motions to proceed to these resolutions. But none of them will be considered if the motions to proceed fail.
Sen. Dean HellerDean HellerTrump's attacks stun Republican senators Bare-bones repeal plan gains steam in Senate Overnight Healthcare: Senate rejects repeal-only ObamaCare plan | Ads target Heller, Capito over vote | Dem says ObamaCare repeal effort moving US 'toward single-payer' MORE (R-Nev.), one of many Republicans who has criticized the Senate for failing to pass any budget resolution for the last three years, asked to amend the orders of the day by also voting on his bill, S. 1981. That bill would block pay for members if Congress fails to pass a budget resolution.
But Conrad objected to that request.

Final confirmation of the 2020 renewable energy target is expected to trigger a wave of wind farm projects around Australia, giving electricity retailers such as
Hydro Tasmania and Indian-owned REpower each have huge wind projects in early development worth more than $3 billion in total.
Pacific Hydro, Wind Prospect and others have hundreds of megawatts of more advanced projects that are awaiting commitments by electricity retailers to buy the power offtake.
Origin, Australia's biggest energy retailer, scrapped a process to sell or joint venture its Stockyard Hill wind project in Victoria which would cost up to $1 billion to build.
The decision could improve the outlook for other wind ventures looking to lock in power sale contracts.
Origin can still decide to develop the project later but is likely to have plenty of other opportunities to source externally the renewable power it requires under the renewable energy target legislation.
Power retailers can choose to build their own renewable plants, buy power from a project developer or purchase renewable energy certificates on the market to meet their liabilities under the legislation.
Origin's record in actively managing its portfolio suggested it would select the most advantageous path rather than build its own plant, Tony Wood, energy program director at the Grattan Institute in Melbourne, said. "What they have done is make a conscious commercial decision that, on balance, they are better off doing that," he said.
The Climate Change Authority last month recommended the 2020 renewable energy target for large projects be maintained. Final confirmation of that decision is awaited from Climate Change Minister
"The key thing there is, no question, about reducing the target and that it should be a fixed target. That will get some certainty back into the market," Lane Crockett, general manager for Australia at renewable energy producer Pacific Hydro, said.
"For someone like Origin, if they are parking their Stockyard Hill project for a while, then there are plenty of other opportunities in the market in the meantime," he said. Pacific Hydro has about 400MW of wind ventures in Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia worth $800 million-$900 million that it describes as "shovel ready".
Mr Crockett said other companies also developed plants to an advanced stage in recent years before a glut in renewable energy certificates and uncertainty over the target stalled final approvals. "Now it's the market that's the one final barrier to bring them to fruition," he said.
REpower, one of the companies that was in the bid process for Stockyard Hill, lodged its development application for the $1.3 billion Ceres wind farm in South Australia this month and the project is a year away from financial closure. The company's smaller Rugby project in NSW is at a similar stage.
The Ceres project "certainly does need the support of federal policy like RET to attract the right type of investment to commercialise the project," REpower chief executive Chris Judd said. He said confirmation of the RET would help spur interest in the power offtake.
A Hydro Tasmania spokeswoman reiterated strong support for the RET but said its $2 billion Taswind project on King Island hinged more on acceptance by the local community.
AGL said it had a number of wind farms under development and a decision on whether to proceed "would only be made following confirmed certainty around the RET and based on market conditions, which we expect to improve over the next couple of years".

Subject: Re: De Meherenc de Montmirel royal gateway- new
Date: 13 Jan 2005 11:21:12 -0800
References: <email@example.com> <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Denis Beauregard <> wrote in message news:<>...
Dear Monsieur Beauregard. Thank you for your interest and your
question. Adrien de Meherenc, seigneur de La Conseillere was married
twice, firstly to Jeanne du Pont (1579) and secondly to Elisabeth de
Clinchamp (1590). According to a document in my possession, no
children were born from the second union. This document is a typed
genealogical chart of the senior and La Conseillere-Montmirel lines of
the Meherenc from the family archives of the Marquis de Saint-Pierre,
chef de nom et d'armes. I was very surprised to read in the Alain
Contant article of SGCF which you mention in your question that
Elisabeth de Clinchamp was assigned as the mother of Jean de Meherenc,
seigneur de Montmirel et de La Conseillere, since I was actually able
to obtain a photocopy of this chart through Me Contant himself who had
received it directly from the marquis de Saint-Pierre at his request.
I double checked today with Alain Contant and he confirmed that Jeanne
du Pont was indeed the right mother and that he had not received any
new information to the contrary. In fact he admited that it what a
minor "glitch" that escaped his attention. From memory, but I would
need to verify since I do not have the source at hand, I recall that
Maintenue de Noblesse de Normandie also made clearly Jean de Meherenc
de Montmirel and his siblings the children of Jeanne du Pont.
Taking advantage of this post, I would like to point out that the
Meherenc line offers many other very promissing gateways to be
researched, among which :
-ANNE DE GROSPARMY who was from the family of the Cardinal Raoul de
Grosparmy , bishop of Evreux (+ 1270), an important French councillor,
and of his nephew Raoul de Grosparmy, bishop of Orleans (+ 1311). The
Grosparmy were seigneurs de Beuville, Benneville, barons de Flers,
etc. Anne has a good chance of being a descendant of Raoul de
Grosparmy, seigneur de Beuville married in 1404 with Denise de
Tournebu, dame de Flers, daughter of Guillaume de Tournebu, seigneur
de Marbeuf and (m.1369) of Marie Paynel de Moyon, dame de Milly (with
mother Harcourt-Beaumesnil). According to "Quartiers genealogiques
d'Olivier Laurent" (in RGN # 66, p. 205), Anne de Grosparmy was
daughter of Jean, seigneur de Benneville and Jacqueline de Sillans.
-ISABEAU DE MALHERBE, dame du Breuil et de La Vaquerie. Aside from
being an heiress, she was from an ancient and distinguished normand
family which gave the renaissance poet Francois de Malherbe
(1555-1628). Although her exact placement within the Malherbe family
has not yet been investigated, she is, like many contemporary members
of that family, most probably descended from the marriage of Jean III
de Malherbe (living 1327) and Jeanne Bacon de Formigny, herself
daughter of Jeanne d'Estouteville (senior line).
Looking foreward to develop those new potential lines with your
Jean Bunot

New Book
My new book (with W. Keith Campbell) is called The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement (Free Press, April 2009). We diagnose the problem (What is narcissism?), identify its causes (What kind of parents make narcissistic children? How do sites like MySpace and Facebook shape personality?), document its symptoms (overconfidence leading to economic troubles, plastic surgery on the increase, people hiring fake paparazzi to look famous) and, finally, propose some treatments. To find out more about the book, click here [link to: http://www.narcissismepidemic.com]. To buy the book from amazon.com (or think about it), click here [link to: http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/1416575987].
First Book
I've written a book about all of my research on generations, called Generation Me: Why Today's Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled — and More Miserable Than Ever Before. It uses data from 1.3 million young people to show the real differences among generations on things like self-esteem, individualism, anxiety, and sexuality. I use lots of examples from the media (movies, songs, TV shows) and stories from real people. To find out more about the book, click here.

Btw, my last input was referenced to your Albus theme. Just took a look at Azure.
May i?
My first overall impression is quite good. Imho, there are some minor things to tweak to be done here.
Lobster is a dope font, i love it. But it's not a good choice for a shop cause it doesn't communicate as clear enough as necessary. At least for the navigation and maybe the product names i'd go for something less fancy.
Generally speaking, imho the typography is a tad small – shops should be as barrier-free as possible. The "login / create account" part up there is at the edge of legibility.
The 5 columns product teaser is a bit tricky due to the inconsistent alignment. I'm sure there are a number of options to make this easier – also tricky, the black cart button is the outstanding element in the box.
The single product page
I find the doubling of nav background and product name background a bit unhappy, the product one somewhat kills the overall balance. Furthermore the dashed lines in the description don't really support the information structure. Tried a subtle 1px line like below already?
Last not least a color thing: the actual information (Brand: Apple) is a mid grey while the less important part Brand is displayed in black. There's no chance for highlighting the price anymore, except going for a deep red tone. But what if you've got a reduced price?
Think you should rebalance the colors according to information importance there.
Apart from that you shouldn't drop your work at all. Take a fresh start tomorrow or next week and you'll get your head around the things that don't work yet!
Regarding the blog category template
I think you've choosen a layout that makes it quite tough for content to really pop up.
There is no real visual guide for the reader to determine what to read. The headlines are too small above the images to stand out and the images get a bit lost underneath them.
Plus the "Read more" link is the most prominent element throughout the page. And no matter what kicking images you've got there, due to the repitition of the button they just won't be able to work against it.
Hope that helps a bit.

So, you're suggesting that someone should design a theme based on your requirements so that you could buy it for 40$?
I suggest that there is a demand for a breed of themes out there that hasn't yet been satisfied.

What about this one? http://themeforest.net/item/wordpress-for-writers/2353429?WT.ac=search_thumb&WT.seg_1=search_thumb&WT.z_author=dwoolf
Yeah, i like that one a lot. Unfortunately no word about support for post formats and embedded media (i've got lots of videos, sound- & mixcloud as well as images in my blog). Bummer 2: no portfolio.
Already thought about using one theme for the blog and another one for my works.
Then HELM was also a mouth-watering option. Unfortunately it's impossible to keep the fullwidth option throughout all templates (cats/tags) so that was a no-go either. That's also one of the most common downers for me…
i didn't mean to insult anyone – hence i should elaborate a bit further.
First off, i've been following the Wordpress theme corner intensively for over a year now. That means it's one of my first daily excercises to check out new themes. Almost every day. I think i've seen each and every single item available for Wordpress.
Why? I've been looking for a theme similar to the ones i referred to in my first post here. And i'd be glad if you could hook me up with something that doesn't only look minimalistic but also works in a similar way. No luck so far.
Asides i even bought a theme already and had to face the fact that all those bling-bling features were exclusive for certain custom post types, it didn't even have a tag template, stuff like that. Bummer.
PS: i wanna buy a theme cause i'm sick of coding my own. And the level of complexity that comes with most of those framework driven themes require a master in rocket science to just strip off something here and there. Been there, done that, failed.
About TF being a bit disconnected from the 'real world'.
During the last year i noticed certain approaches towards Wordpress theme development became standard here at TF. Turns out some of those common practises are actually quite bad practises, however they are spreading and spreading. (like that one http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/hello-devs-using-pages-for-blog-layouts-is-bad-practise/69800)
You know, i started participating here at the forum in order to encourage people to make something else than the usual TF DNA theme. Back to the themes i posted earlier, look closely to those sites and i can assure you there is nothing comparable available around here. Which is a pity.
And whenever somebody comes around with a really different theme it instantly gets tons of sales, however the next 10 themes will all be more or less the same again.
Heck, i've been a bit distracted while writing, hope it still makes sense
No its a good place, its not bad, you are mis-understanding.
Im just saying everyone has there own likes and dis-likes, even the reviewers.They are only human after all, and just because you, I or the girl next door likes something, does not mean the reviewer will like the concept.
Reviewers should objectively judge according to certain rules that apply for design, typography and usuability and not put their personal preferences above this judgement. Imho.
But if i look around i find lots of themes with horrible typography, barely readable, inlegible, inconsistent, not even roughly following the rules of typography (which objectively exist) that i wonder what kind of judgement has been applied there. Except the one of personal preference.
Which would be bad. Really bad.
At the end of the day, its all about reviewers likes and dis-likes.
If a reviewer does not like simplistic designs he/she will not accept them, ive seen some designs where people have asked for input and they look amazing to me, ive even thought i would buy that… and they get rejected.
Yet i see some themes on here where i think, really that passed!
Its all about who you get reviewing your item, what they like and obviously the quality of the theme.Also it makes me laugh how they can reject your theme for being to simular to some already within the marketplace when 85% of them look the same anyways lol…
The more i'm reading here the more i'm under the impression that this place is nuts. Or rather a market disconnected from the real world that is simply feeding itself.
greenline said
The concept in these is nice, but I do not like too much the typography…Personally, I like small characters, I do not like to scroll too much to see more content, I personally prefer to have most of the content from the beginning…but that's only my opinion.
Of course we all have our personal preferences, but when it comes to readability and legibility there's a set of rules to follow. Which is often getting kicked in the nuts with themes on TF.
If you're interested, here are some further links:http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/10/07/16-pixels-body-copy-anything-less-costly-mistake/ http://informationarchitects.net/blog/responsive-typography-the-basics/
UBL said
Ive submitted designs like these, the reviewer discard them.
I'd love to check those out! Sp, am i getting it right that the fact that almost every theme here has the same layout is a case of reviewers' restrictions? Oh my, that'd be one big fail.
To be entirely honest, i don't get it.
"- Please look into how you're using white space—both micro and macro. It needs to be intuitive, consistent and frame the content correctly in the manner you seek. - Overall typography and visual + typographic hierarchy needs additional refinements and improvements before it will be ready for Theme Forest."
Taking this into credit there are lots of themes available around here which are much worse in above aspects than your theme demo.
I notice that almost every theme is identical in terms of overall layout and typography. Here's a little roundup of sites with a twist and well balanced used of fonts.
Some are also great excerpts of how responsive typography should be handled, reading long articles there happens very naturally in an engaging manner. Make sure to check out their archives, category templates as well. All in all very focussed on content without too many visual distractions (yes, i'm talking about sidebars).
I demand more themes in that direction around here!

The newest motorway casualty, Welcome Lodge was thought up after Welcome Break were sold by Granada. Granada had insisted all the Welcome Breaks had Travelodges and Little Chefs, but due to franchise complications this had to change.
As part of a wider-scale change, in 1999 Welcome Break started replacing the Welcome Lodges with a licence use of the better-known brand Days Inn. The changeover was planned to be quick, but there was little action and it wasn't until April 2009 that the final Welcome Lodge changed at Charnock Richard.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Despite the November chill the room was warm and cosy with a very comfortable bed. Very quiet hotel.
Room Upgrade
The friendliness of the staff; the help that was extended to us as disabled people; the bed; the room; the outlook; the restaurant; the breakfast room; the bar; the relaxation that we had due to the hotel staff: The coffee; both at dinner and breakfast:
Good food & polite/helpful staff Some decor & gardens look somewhat 'tired'
Spacioous room, satellite tv in room
Comfortable room, warm welcome, good breakfast. Lack of information about the immediate locality (lots of info about other places!)
The staff were very pleasant and helpful and everyone made the effort to chat and make residents comfortable.
Staff all very pleasant and helpful, despite multi tasking because of lack of numbers Hotel could have been warmer. Despite nice furnisjhings and being clean the coolness gives a feeling of being unwelcome
The food was excellent and the staff very friendly The hotel had an old fashioned style which could be updated . the paper in the ceiling of the bedroom was coming offand the grouting in the bathroom was mouldy but these are minor points .
It was like stepping back in time to a former era. The ambience was lovely and we had a excellent meal next to an open fire which was the highlight of our visit. Our bedroom was beautifully furbished and the hospitality provided was first class. The only complaint we would have is that the bed (which was a kingsize) was rather hard.
Extremely nice staff and a warm welcolme from a fellow Lancastrian. The hotel has been refurbished to a good standard and made for a pleasant stay. I needed an early breakfast and special arrangements were made to accommodate me. It was dark when I arrived and I left before daybreak, so didn't get a chance to admire the view!
Friendly helpful staff . Great food. Superb location.
Good food and relaxed atmosphere with comfortable lounge area led to a very pleasant stay.
The front of house staff were excellent, very helpfull. We were provided with a front door key which didn't work and we felt bad having to get the night porter out of his bed.
excellent location---and food,---very friendly and informal staff. Ample parking--great local atmosphere.
I found the level of service from the staff very high as they were very welcoming and very attentive. I was upgraded room free of charge as the hotel was quiet that evening which was a nice touch. Having a drink in front of the open fire was a real luxury. My only dissapointment was that I was not arriving until 7.45pm and I was told the kitchen closed at 8pm. I felt a bit as if it was suggested I have something to eat before I arrived. A party of 4 young people also came into the hotel around 8.30pm looking for a meal but were turned away. I think in the current economic climate the hotel should not be turning away potential business
Superbly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff, phenomenal bar with lots of character, great location, and fantastic food (breakfasts and suppers)! We would happily return - and stay longer!
Nice location, good food Small room, over priced
I had planned a golfing outing at the Royal Dornoch Golf Course and wanted a bit of a splurge, something besides the B&B route. You filled the bill magnificently. Wonderful staff, lovely room, excellent all around.
CLean, friendly, attention to detail good, staff pleasant and happy with their work
The Bed! The cat!
As a lone traveller, the staff made me feel very welcome, comfortable and were very helpful. The location was also great! There was no phone in my room (the only room in the hotel without a phone), having said that, the hotel let me use their phone free of charge to call home!
Comfortable, welcoming, nice atmosphere - lovely fires & upstairs lounge
The friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff. The meals were of a very high standard.
outside sitting area bar too small restricted menu if staying for more than one night

GCMB Releases Pain Management Clinic Licensure Application and Guidelines per House Bill 178
The Georgia Composite Medical Board published the application and guidelines for the state's new pain management clinic license on Friday, June 21, 2013. The application is available for download at the Board's website.
The application implements House Bill 178, the Georgia Pain Management Clinic Act, which was signed on May 2, 2013 by Governor Nathan Deal. Passed with overwhelming majorities in the state House of Representatives (150 to 15) and state Senate (44 to 5), HB 178 requires that all pain management clinics operating in Georgia are licensed effective July 1, 2013.
The new law defines a pain management clinic as any medical practice that advertises services in the treatment of pain, uses the word "pain" in the name of the clinic or practice, or has more than 50 percent of its annual patient population for chronic, non-terminal pain by the use of Schedule II or Schedule III controlled substances. Each pain management clinic location must be licensed individually.
The application process includes payment of a $500 application fee, a criminal background check, and other forms & documents. Clinics must be wholly owned by licensed physicians, with exemptions for qualifying clinics that were already operating in Georgia on June 30, 2013. Clinics and practices owned or operated by hospitals do not need to be licensed, but must file an annual notification with the Board.
Pain Management Licenses can now be searched & verified online here

For most people across the world, Easter week came and went without a hitch, with many families spending quality time together to worship. But one public celebration in Guatemala did not go quite as well as planned. A video has gone viral showing an actor dressed as Jesus Christ falling from the cross and onto the street in the middle of a crucifixion reenactment.
According to the Huffington Post, the incident took place on Good Friday in the town of Santa Barbara, Suchitepequez. The event was intended to be a recreation of the Biblical story wherein Jesus Christ is crucified on the cross. The demonstration is called "la actividad de los judíos," which can be loosely translated to "the activity of the Jews." Unfortunately for those watching and those involved, the meaningful tribute turned into a near tragedy. Hundreds of spectators watched in horror as the likeness of Jesus Christ fell four meters from the top of a wooden cross.
The actor playing Jesus initially climbed to the top of the cross on a ladder with the assistance of another man. As part of the demonstration, Jesus Christ was supposed to be strapped to the cross and left to hang there on display. But almost immediately after the ladder was removed, the Jesus actor was unable to stay secure on the flimsy scaffolding, which was only supported by a few ropes. The cross teetered and Jesus Christ fell fast to the ground. Fortunately, the actor was able to grip one of the ropes on the way down, slowing his descent considerably.
Certain news outlets reported that the man playing Jesus Christ was not injured during the fall, but nothing has been confirmed for certain. It does not appear that the actor hit the ground especially hard, but many of the audience members witnessing the reenactment rushed to his side to see if he was okay. The video does not reveal any aftermath. The original video caption claims the height of the cross may actually have been higher than four meters.
Since the frightening footage of Jesus Christ falling from the cross hit Facebook, it has amassed thousands of views and comments, and many thousands more on YouTube. It was originally shared by a Facebook page titled "Operaciones especiales México."
Though the image of a religious messiah like Jesus Christ taking a tumble could be shocking and offensive to some, that didn't stop several Facebook viewers from making light of the situation with some altered images from the video.
Commenters on YouTube left a number of irreverent jokes as well, with multiple users saying something to the effect of, "They don't make nails the way they used to."
One Facebook commenter noted that the cross itself is much too high, both for general safety precautions and in comparison to typical representations of the crucifixion. He observed that the wooden structure might, in fact, be a telephone pole that was re-purposed into a cross. Either way, it appears that whoever planned the reenactment did not take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of their representation of Jesus Christ, especially since he appeared to only be clinging to the cross with his own strength.
However, one tradition in the Philippines involves actors portraying Jesus Christ and actually being nailed onto a cross in an attempt to recreate the suffering endured by the Biblical savior. Others walk the streets and willingly whip themselves in the back with bamboo sticks to mimic the brutality Jesus faced before the crucifixion. Read more here.

Anti-Racism Group Threatens Lawsuit Against University of Minnesota for 'Redskins' Name
By: Aj Mansour | KFAN.com
Minneapolis, MN -According to a report from Sports Illustrated, the University of Minnesota is facing a potential lawsuit over the November 2nd Minnesota Vikings vs Washington Redskins game at TCF Bank Stadium.
According to the story, "The National Coalition on Racism in Sports and Media announced Thursday that it may sue the university if it doesn't bar the "Redskins" name and associated face paint and jerseys from the stadium."
This report follows a slew of push back that we've already seen surrounding the Week 9 match up. To date, the University has a solid relationship with Minnesota's Native American Community.
The Minnesota Vikings have not commented on whether or not they will take action to appease the requests.

By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY
Magic is hot, but will it sell on the big screen?
Hollywood finds out Friday when it unveils The Illusionist, a drama about a magician whose powers seem to border on the mystical.
The Hugh Jackman/Christian Bale thriller The Prestige opens eight weeks later. Directed by Christopher Nolan, the movie centers on two magicians in London at the turn of the 20th century who are bitter rivals.
Though magic has been a staple of Hollywood fare, most recently in the Harry Potter franchise, analysts say it's rare that magicians themselves are the subject matter.
"Magic isn't usually as commercially appealing at the box office as it is, say, on TV," says Brandon Gray of Box Office Mojo.
"Those tricks (on television) are being performed in a more realistic setting, while movies use more effects and set-up. To have these two movies coming out within two months of each other is pretty unique."
Some magic acts have found solid success on TV, including David Blaine with his occasional specials and Criss Angel with his Mindfreak series on A&E.
Orange Lemon Egg Canary, a play about a woman who falls for a hard-drinking magician, hit the New York stage last month.
And books on magicians are new on shelves. The biography Escape!The Story of the Great Houdini (Greenwillow, $18.99) came out last month, following May's The Book of Story Beginnings (Candlewick, $15.99), a novel about a magical tome found in a farmhouse in Iowa.
Paul Giamatti, who plays a Viennese inspector determined to discover the secrets of the magician played by Edward Norton in The Illusionist, says he's surprised by the surge in magical subject matter.
"It seems like it's everywhere," he says. "Maybe there's a need to escape in something like magic, given the times we live in. I'm a fan of it, and I have no idea how they do any of it."
Conveying that mystery on the big screen, however, can be a hard sell, acknowledges Neil Burger, director of The Illusionist, which is adapted from a short story.
For his film set in Vienna in the early 1900s, Burger researched magic tricks that were popular at the time and re-introduced them with a few digital flourishes.
"The difficulty of doing magic on film is that film is magic," Burger says. "It's already a trick. Audiences are so sophisticated, and they know how the trick is done already; it's digital effects."
Burger says he wanted to make a movie less about magic acts and focus on the people who perform them — and believe in them. He says he hopes audiences find something magical in the chemistry of his stars.
"Paul and Ed are the De Niro and Pacino of our generation," Burger says. "They show us what's its like to get that chill when you see a great trick being performed. If you're going to do a movie about magic, it's got to capture the belief in magic. That's more important than any trick."
