text: I don't fear being dead because it is the equivalent of pre-birth and we've been non-existent for billions of years (or longer if you consider the possibility of previous universes). It is the transition to a permanent and eternal loss of consciousness and self-awareness that I find frightening. I've conceptualized it about 3 times during deep thought and the experience was kind of bizarre, almost an OOBE with a rush/cold sweat. It changed my perspective and created a focus on good health and prolonging life by most means, but it hasn't been too much of an inconvenience. It also manifested into existential anxiety for some time. Is the transhumanism movement similar to the life extension movement? I think it is possible, there are biological factors which effect life spans for different species and they might be altered. The problem is we will need strict population control for human life preservation to work. The current population level would need to be greatly reduced because there is too much strain on the environment/wildlife but also chaotic societies that will be better adapted with lower populations. video on the subject: IMPORTANT NOTICE: No media files are hosted on these forums.

It is inevitable and a certainty, and it happens to everyone, but eternity is a long time. A lot of people said no, but I think in at least some sense most of you do. We do so many things to hold onto life, which at least to me is a sign that we fear death.

Wireless industrial standard begins to take shape
CONTROL contributor Dick Caro, a member of the ISA committee developing a set of wireless industrial networking standards, reports to us the latest progress on SP100 activity from Karlsruhe, Germany.
Karlsruhe, Germany – The SP100.11a standards working group met here for four full business days to make progress toward the standard. By the end of the meeting, the committee had agreed upon an architecture, selected a single application layer and formed the editorial team to actually write the standard.
While cooperation among competing suppliers seems to be working very well, there continues to be a feeling that each of the two groups—CI (Collaboration Initiative, lead by Emerson) and WNSIA (Wireless Network for Secure Industrial Applications, lead by Honeywell)—will try to gain an advantage. After last month's user objections, the committee agreed that the Honeywell attempt to get its narrowband frequency-hopping spread spectrum physical layer adopted as an alternative would be deferred to Release 2. Meanwhile, Release 1, based on the CI recommendation using an IEEE 802.15.4-2006 radio with channel-hopping, continues to take shape.
The architecture of the SP100 network has been the subject of many heated discussions. The architecture adopted for Release 1 is a full mesh network in which all nodes may contain a routing function, but it can be disabled or omitted for simplicity or power conservation reasons. The mesh allows for a network to become physically large without installation of a higher-speed backbone, but each "hop" comes with a time delay that may prevent the use of the data from far points in fast control loops. This is why Release 1 is targeted at non-critical functions that can tolerate a latency (time lag) of 100 milliseconds. This limitation is often expressed as a control loop cycle time of about one second.
The Honeywell alternative architecture proposed at the Phoenix meeting included a wireless backbone and field-mounted SP100 access points that were interconnected using the IEEE 802.11s (still in draft stage) wireless mesh protocol. This architecture will most likely emerge in Release 2 of SP100.11a as an option. Honeywell has shown that its proposed architecture is more time-efficient than the full mesh network proposed for Release 1, and is more suited for faster control loops and even safety systems. However, it was agreed that nothing in the architecture for SP100, even in Release 1, would prevent operation with latencies as low as 10 milliseconds.
Application Layer
After presenting a proposal for the application layer (AL) in Phoenix, Honeywell delivered an almost complete document for consideration to the Application/Gateway Task Group in Karlsruhe. This AL is highly compatible with Foundation fieldbus, HART and Profibus, since it is based on the use of electronic device descriptions (EDD) taken from IEC 61804-3, an international standard now being balloted as ISA/ANSI 104.
SP100 AL will not specify any EDDs, but will allow the use of EDDs by applications connected through an SP100 network. All of the required AL services are included in this document, including a tunneling or encapsulation protocol for transmitting messages other than SP100. The remaining committee work is to convert the Honeywell document to the correct form for a standard. This committee also heard an alternative AL presentation from Rockwell Automation for its CIP protocol. It was generally agreed that CIP would be considered for a later release that was more oriented toward factory automation; however, CIP will be reviewed to see if any of its features are suitable for inclusion in Release 1.
The committee is planning to include a gateway function for SP100.11a. The gateway may be contained in a separate device, or it may be distributed to other network devices. The gateway is designed to translate from SP100 data streams to those of the supported networks—Foundation fieldbus, Profibus/PROFInet or HART. SP100 will not specify the translation utility, but will provide the network interfaces required so that the respective organizations can create one.
Since HART is using a wireless network totally incompatible with SP100, we cannot plan that that these signals can be communicated via the SP100.11a network in any way. All that we can do for wireless HART is to specify the gateway functions that a device could use to be compatible with the SP100 interface to the host control system.
The work of the Network/Transport Task Group has now been defined. In SP100, the mesh routing (intranet) will not be done in the network layer (NL), but is assigned to the upper data link layer. The NL will only handle routing between different SP100 network segments. The services that the transport layer (TL) will provide to applications are cyclic and acyclic reads and writes, alerting and multicast messages. The requirements for these services were obtained from the draft AL specification.
The exact protocol for the NL has not yet been formalized. Since the NL must allow routing between connected SP100 networks, it must provide routing services in the protocol stack. One such stack proposal is called 6LoPAN, which is designed to use a compressed version of Internet Protocol, version 6, over a low-powered, low-data-rate network. 6LoPAN has recently been approved by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the Internet standards body, as a draft standard for low-powered networks. A decision on the NL protocol must be made soon.
Physical Layer
Release 1 will have only one physical layer (PHY). This is similar to the original proposal by CI group members Dust Networks and Emerson. It will operate at 2.4 GHz using direct-sequence spread spectrum with added channel-hopping. This PHY will use IEEE 802.15.4-2006 radios.
The committee discussed the process of adding new PHYs in the future. The committee regards the radio itself as the most rapidly changing technology, and the SP100.11a specification must make the integration of new radio technology as seamless as possible.

Alternative education loans, also known as private education loans, help bridge the gap between the actual cost of education and the limited amount the government allows a student to borrow in its student loan programs.
Private loans are offered by private lenders and there are no federal forms to complete. Eligibility for private student loans often depends on a borrower's and co-borrower's credit score.
Private education loans do not have the same benefits as the federal education loans, but are less expensive than credit card debt. Federal education loans offer fixed interest rates, flexible repayment benefits, and forgiveness options. For these reasons, we recommend students exhaust eligibility for federal student loans before resorting to private student loans.
Private student loans have variable or fixed interest rates, with the interest rate pegged to an index, such as LIBOR or PRIME, plus a margin.
The LIBOR index is the London Interbank Offered Rate and represents what it costs a lender to borrow money. The PRIME Lending Rate is the interest rate lenders offer to their most credit-worthy customers. To check the current index rates, please visit BankRate.
The Office of Financial Aid has collected a list of lenders that students commonly use for alternative education loans. Loan products vary by lender.
Merrimack College strongly recommends that a borrower contact the lender(s) for up-to-date information via the web address listed below.
Note: For the upcoming academic year, the Office of Financial Aid will not begin processing alternative loans until after July 1. Due to time limits on credit approval, it is recommended that families wait until after July 1 to apply for alternative loans.
You are not obligated to borrow from this list of lenders and may use any private lender of your choice.
The Merrimack College Office of Financial Aid recommends the use of private educational loan programs after all other types of financing options are considered.
Before borrowing an education loan, carefully consider present level of debt and repayment obligations on all loans. Determine how much is needed to borrow by working out a budget for educational costs and subtracting all other resources (aid offered and accepted). Remember, the ability to obtain loan funding is largely based on credit-worthiness, and with most programs, the co-signer's credit-worthiness.
To satisfy the requirements of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and the recently amended section on the Truth in Lending, private/alternative educational loans borrowers must now be provided with several disclosures from the lender. Borrowers must complete a Private Education Applicant Self-Certification Form when applying for non-federal loans. This form must be submitted to your lender during your application process. Please do not forward this to our office. When electronically applying on-line, the lender will provide the borrower the opportunity to fill out required information before they can proceed with the review and approval of the loan.
On the Private Education Applicant Self-Certification Form, borrowers will be required to complete the cost of attendance for the period of enrollment covered by the loan, as well as the estimated financial aid. Definitions are listed on the second page of the form: Cost of Attendance, Estimated Financial Assistance, Lender, Period of Enrollment, Private Education Loan and Title IV Student Financial Aid.
Note: Students may obtain their individual Financial Aid award on myMack under the Student Info Tab. For more information on the Cost of Attendance figures that students will need to use to complete the Self-Certification form, please refer to the Tuition and Expenses web page.
Students are eligible to borrow alternative loans to bridge the gap in what is not covered through their financial aid package. A student is limited to borrowing their cost of attendance less any other financial awarded (institutional, federal, state, outside scholarships). Students can borrow education loans to pay for tuition, fees, room and board, as well as books, and other personal or educational supplies. For questions on your individual cost of attendance, please contact our office.
Education loans are designed to pay for direct costs first. Any excess borrowed will be available to the student in the form of a refund check. Refunds are not available until after loans have disbursed, which occurs after the add/drop period. For the Fall semester, this is typically the first week in October. For the Spring semester, this is typically the beginning of February.

Following on the heels of the post on my path toward getting a nonstick wok, I thought about the various ways you can use a wok. It's such a versatile piece of cookware suitable for stir-frying, pan-frying, deep-frying, steaming, boiling, smoking, and roasting. (I think I forgot one because I've been told that are eight things you can do with a wok. Fill in the blank if you know it!)
I combed through the VWK archives and gathered a small collection of wok recipes. In the main, I avoid cooking food with lots of water in the wok because I'm reluctant to rebuild the patina. That's to say, I don't use my wok for steaming or long-simmered dishes (no stews!). The recipe roundup here is broken into cooking methods so you can plug in where you want.

New Internet consumer protection tool--SiteAdvisor.com
Their privacy policy is good--they don't keep a record of who goes to what site. One feature I'd like to see them add is the ability to not make queries for certain domains (such as Intranet web pages--their current design allows them to map out internal corporate web structures which they should not be able to get).
Their advisory board includes Avi Rubin, a well-known security researcher at Johns Hopkins University (and formerly at AT&T) who has done significant work on e-voting security, and Ben Edelman, formerly of Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, who is well-known for his research on Internet subjects such as domain name usage and China's web filtering, as well as his lawsuit against web filtering company N2H2 to defend his right to research its blocking list.
SiteAdvisor has a blog, too (though as of this moment it doesn't have a valid RSS feed, according to Thunderbird).

Some things last the test of time. That includes the rich, 500-year-old Jesuit heritage upon which the College was founded.
What's the best way to learn about life at Le Moyne? Explore, investigate and discover our beautiful campus for yourself.
Submit your application for undergraduate, graduate or continuing education programs today.
Put your mind to work – for yourself, for your future, and for your world.
Everything you experience teaches you something about yourself and the world around you. Savor as many as possible.
Your gift to Le Moyne today is an investment in countless tomorrows.
Relying upon the knowledge base about politics that the discipline of political science provides, and integrating that with the commitment of Jesuit education to social justice, the political science major takes as its central focus training of students for a life of active citizenship.
Consequently, political science at Le Moyne includes:
The Department of Political Science has as its objectives not only educating students to the political concerns of society but also encouraging them to be active, engaged participants in democracy. We take seriously the Jesuit mission to educate students for the service of others. Politics should be at the heart of efforts to work for social justice.
In keeping with Le Moyne's Jesuit heritage and our nation's democratic creed, the faculty of the department is committed in our various courses, classes, and pedagogical methods to the following goals:
Guided by this vision, we have developed a unique curriculum that emphasizes small classes and active, student-centered pedagogies; includes courses that focus on student interests and concerns and cut across disciplinary boundaries; and incorporates experiential elements into the coursework.
The Political Science Department offers a number of special programs to make it easier for students to double major as well as to encourage them to build leadership skills.
Our department works particularly closely with the History Department and, as a result we have worked together to develop a special joint degree program of Political Science/History. Further, Political Science is an excellent major to combine with an Education Minor, either in elementary education or secondary education.
If you would like to learn more about courses, requirements, and opportunities in Political Science, please see the Le Moyne College catalog.
The Department of Political Science has as its main objective educating students to the political concerns of society. The coursework covers the wide range of topics associated with the discipline, and provides solid preparation for such career choices as graduate school, law school, business, journalism, education and public service. To facilitate academic focus the department offers four concentrations: Pre-Law, Public Service, International Relations/Comparative Politics, and General Study. Whatever career path is chosen, however, the department's primary mission is to prepare students for a life of active and informed citizenship.
Students in the State Politics course traveled to Albany to discuss the SAFE Act and visit the New York State Court of Appeals.
The Political Science Department offers internship opportunities to all majors. Internships are intended to be experiential learning with two major goals: enhancing the intern's specific skills (for example, research and writing ability, computer proficiency, teamwork skills, and public service) and expanding his/her areas of knowledge (for example, the law, political campaigning, child welfare services, and economic development). Placements are aligned with a student's interests, his/her academic coursework, and his/her career and/or graduate school plans.
Students can choose a 3-6 credit on-campus placement or a 12-15 credit option in Albany, NY with the NYS Senate or NYS Assembly, or in Washington, D.C. with the Washington Center. Local interns select from a wide range of possible placements: in the offices of law firms and district attorneys, in not-for-profit organizations and government social service agencies, for local and national legislators and party organizations. Off-campus internships cover an array of governmental and non-governmental setting: Congress, news bureaus, financial businesses, the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, Environmental Protection Agency, foreign embassies, and lobbying organizations.
The Department's commitment is to provide a worthwhile experience that advances your college education and prepares you for your life after graduation.
Service Learning combines community service work with self-reflection and academic study to offer students an innovative, hands-on, relevant, and rewarding learning experience. Both service learning and internships are valuable learning experiences, but they differ in their goals. Internships are intended to help students gain work-related experience by placing them in professional environments. In contrast, the goal of service learning is to connect students with the local community by having them work in non-profit organizations committed to improving the quality of life of others. The work is valued not because it will lead to a job, but because it strengthens the student as a citizen. It connects the student to the community, and it provides an opportunity for the student to learn from the service of others.
The Le Moyne College Model United Nations Club participates every year in the Model UN Conference at Harvard University or other Model UN conferences. Model UN is an educational simulation and academic competition in which students learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations by representing assigned countries and writing briefs on particular international issues.
The goal of Le Moyne College's Pre-Law Society is to educate students and faculty alike in the area of law. It sponsors panels, speakers, films, and student events towards that goal. We hope that students of any major who possess an interest to attend law school after Le Moyne College or enter a career associated with law benefit from the activities of this club.
Amnesty International is a nonpolitical organization dedicated to the work of advocacy on behalf of prisoners of conscience. Amnesty International promotes campus networks so that during the academic year students can participate in the organization's work. The purpose of the campus network at Le Moyne is twofold: to help in the work that the organization carries out and to allow students to learn about the world situation regarding prisoners of conscience.
Pi Sigma Alpha is the national political science honor society. Le Moyne has an accredited chapter of the society (Tau Alpha). The goals of Pi Sigma Alpha are to honor outstanding students and to support and promote extracurricular activities related to public affairs. Students who are political science majors, have completed at least 10 hours in the major and who possess a G.P.A. of 3.3 (overall and in the major) are eligible for membership.
The Political Science Academy, which is open to all students, aims to develop and promote student awareness of, knowledge regarding and participation in the political system. Field trips, speakers, topical discussions and debates, workshops and social activities are planned throughout the academic year.
Membership in the Democrat Club is open to any member of the Le Moyne community who desires to meet, listen to and share the ideas of the Democratic Party. Events and activities of the club include an annual student voter registration drive, films, speakers, current event discussion sessions and campaign participation on behalf of Democratic candidates.
The Republican Club was formed to make known and promote the principles of the Republican Party on campus. Among its goals are the development of political skills and leadership abilities needed for future service to the party and the community, the recruitment of students as members of the club and Republican Party and the election of Republican candidates at all levels of government. Membership is open to all students.
Liberty in North Korea is a non-governmental organization that rescues North Korean refugees hiding in China and resettles them in South Korea or the United States, so that they can avoid being forcibly repatriated back to North Korea. LiNK also seeks to raise awareness of human rights issues in North Korea through media production, conducting research, and through semi-annual tours. The organization has produced several feature-length documentaries, including Danny from North Korea and Bridge to North Korea in 2013 and The People's Crisis and the SHIFT campaign video in 2012. http://www.libertyinnorthkorea.org/

Political Science coursework helps develop the skill sets and content knowledge that employers value: the ability to present ideas clearly (verbally and in writing), cogently (using reasons and evidence), and persuasively; the ability to collect and analyze qualitative and quantitative date; interpersonal skills (teamwork, coalition-building); and the ability to think critically and solve problems creatively - outside the box.
An off-campus experience, whether in an internship, in a study-abroad program, or in a service-learning course, applies those skills and knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world situations. Finally, a four-year program of one-on-one departmental advising personalizes your major in order to help you clarify and pursue your post-graduate plans, whether towards a career or further schooling.

Kingstonian boss Alan Dowson was left fuming after a refereeing horror show cost his side dear on Monday night.
Ks crashed 2-1 at home to in-form Met Police, two days after going top of the Ryman Premier League with a 3-1 triumph at Carshalton Athletic.
The result ultimately hinged on Charlie Collins' controversial opening goal for the visitors five minutes before half time, that left both Dowson and counterpart Jimmy Cooper – who celebrated 10 years in charge of the Blues with a win – baffled.
Ks were awarded a free kick on the edge of the Met Police box and took it quickly only for the referee to blow his whistle again – seemingly for the kick to be retaken – only to allow play to continue.
In the confusion, Collins raced clear to fire his side ahead before the lead was doubled in similar fashion after the break when Blues striker Bradley Hudson-Odoi latched on to a clearance from a Kingstonian corner to fire past Ks keeper Rob Tolfrey.
Ryan Moss pulled a goal back for Ks with 18 minutes to go, but despite laying siege to the Blues goal they could not get back on level terms.
"It is the worst decision I've ever seen," said Dowson.
"I've not had an explanation for it, but the ref did say he had a nightmare game and I think he was worse than that.
"But that is no good to me now. It has cost us.
"It puts a downer on things having gone top, but we've got to bounce back.
"We have done that all season, so it shouldn't be a problem. It was just a disappointing night."

Rain washes out tilt vs. D-backs in third inning
TEMPE, Ariz. -- The weather played havoc with the schedule for the Angels on Friday, chasing them inside for their morning workout and delaying the start of their game against Arizona by a half hour. The game finally started, but it was washed out during a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the third by a torrential downpour.
The weather even featured some hail on Friday afternoon, but manager Mike Scioscia was thrilled that the game got underway. Starter Joe Blanton threw three innings and got his work in, and Scioscia made sure that the D-backs got their own pitchers a chance to work before calling it quits.
"Believe me, we milked about every pitch we could out of today," said Scioscia, who later relayed that Blanton finished up his workday in the bullpen. "We got something accomplished."
The rain was bad enough in the morning that Scioscia was unsure if the Angels would get the game in, and he said that the alternative was for Blanton to throw a simulated game. The Angels had originally scheduled six of their regulars to play, but they pulled all of them two hours before game time.
Scioscia met with Arizona counterpart Kirk Gibson before the game, and they discussed which pitchers had to work and how much of the game they could get in. The top of the first went by without incident, but it started pouring in the bottom half and became heavier by the third inning.
"During the regular season, you would play through it," said Scioscia. "But it's something you don't really deal with in the spring. You very rarely have to except when some pitchers need some work. If it was a situation where he needed 90-to-100 pitches, it wouldn't have even been worth doing."
Moments after the players left the field, solid pieces of hail began coming down, instantly validating the decision to scrub the rest of the game. Kaleb Cowart, one of the Angels' best prospects, said he was inside once the hail started coming down and that the conditions weren't that bad on the field.
"It wasn't the best in the world. It got a little bad in the end in my last at-bat," said Cowart. "You've got to hang with them just like you do sometimes during the season. It was raining a little bit. It wasn't too bad. The wind was kind of cold, but that's part of the game. It got a little slippery, but not too bad."

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- A preview screening of "42," the new film about Jackie Robinson, on April 11 in Kansas City will benefit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and the Kansas City Sports Commission.
The event will feature a VIP reception with actor Harrison Ford, who plays Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey in the film. Before Robinson broke Major League Baseball's color barrier in 1947, he spent the 1945 season playing for the Kansas City Monarchs, the famed Negro Leagues team.
As mayor Sly James would point out at a news conference on Wednesday: "Before Jackie was No. 42, he was No. 5 with the K.C. Monarchs."
The advance screening will take place at AMC BarryWoods 24, 8101 Roanridge Road, Kansas City, Mo., 64151. Events will include a pre-viewing Red Carpet VIP reception with Ford and co-star Andre Holland, and a post-viewing panel discussion moderated by sportswriter Joe Posnanski.
Individual tickets are available for $42 and $72 with multi-ticket VIP sponsorship packages at $10,000 and $25,000. Tickets must be purchased online by April 9 at 42kansascity.com.

Gov. Jerry Brown's campaign for Proposition 30, his sales and income tax increase, more or less promised voters that it would solve the state's chronic budget problems.
It was a somewhat specious contention, although apparently an effective one, since voters did pass the measure.
Scarcely a week later, though, we were told by the Legislature's budget analyst, Mac Taylor, that there's still a deficit in the current fiscal year's budget, albeit a relatively small one.
He added that despite the billions in new revenue from Proposition 30, the budget will be "pretty restrained" for at least the next couple of years.
After that, Taylor said in an annual fiscal appraisal called "California's Fiscal Outlook," the state could see a rosier budget picture, including potential surpluses that would give politicians "more choices."
But that brighter future, he quickly added, is based on certain assumptions, such as the state's economy recovering briskly and, most importantly, Brown and legislators resisting pressures to ramp up spending on programs and services that have been reduced in recent years.
That pressure will be difficult to resist, since interest groups that backed Prop. 30, and helped Democrats strengthen legislative control, are the ones bringing it to bear.
Brown has said he wants to permanently reduce the state's baseline budget. And Prop. 30's taxes would finance that markedly lower level of general fund spending, about $90 billion to $95 billion a year currently.
But that's many billions, perhaps as much as $25 billion, short of what the budget would have been had recession not clobbered state revenue.
The budget's stakeholders want to get back up to that level, or even higher, and that might be possible later in the decade as Prop. 30's new taxes interact with an improving economy, assuming it picks up steam.
However, another factor also comes into play. The state has about $35 billion in what Brown has called a "wall of debt" from years of deficit spending – money owed to schools, to bankers and to special state funds.
Those debts would, if repaid, eat up most of Prop. 30's projected – and temporary – revenue.
Moreover, the California State Teachers' Retirement System is clamoring for billions of dollars to shore up its battered trust fund, the state has a big unfunded liability for retiree health care, it must pay several billion dollars a year to cover health care for the poor after Obamacare subsidies disappear, and schools will automatically consume a substantial portion of the new money.
Viewed in that context, Prop. 30's proceeds are already spoken for – unless, of course, Brown, et al., cave in to the spending demands and set the stage for more deficits and debts in the future, or try to seek another tax increase.

Using Clinical Alerts to Decrease Inappropriate Medication Prescribing

- How to Read a Study Record
The Beers list identifies medications that should be avoided in persons 65 years or older because they are ineffective, pose an unnecessarily high risk, or a safer alternative is available. In a recent study, we found a high rate of prescribing of Beers list medications to hospitalized patients. At Baystate, 41% of medical patients received at least one Beers list drug classified as "high severity," meaning it carried a high risk for an adverse drug reaction, while 5% received 3 or more. Some Beers drugs have been associated with delirium and falls. When compared to Baystate patients who did not receive a high severity medication, those who did had an increased risk of mortality (7.8% vs. 5.2%), longer length of stay (5.5 days vs. 3.9 days) and higher costs ($11,240 vs. 6243).
Specific Aims:
- Quantify the impact of synchronous electronic alerts on physician prescribing of high-severity Beers' list drugs to hospitalized patients over the age of 65 years.
- Compare physician reactions to each drug-specific alert
Project Description:
We will develop a series of clinical alerts in CIS, Baystate's computerized provider order entry system, to reduce the use of potentially inappropriate medications among hospitalized elders. We will randomize providers to electronic alerts or usual care. Whenever a provider randomized to alerts attempts to place an order for a high-risk medication on the Beers list and the intended recipient is over 65 years of age, a synchronous alert (i.e. a "pop-up") will inform the physician about the risks associated with the medication and will propose safer alternatives.
We will collect data on physician ordering and patient outcomes comparing the number of Beers list prescriptions from providers receiving electronic alerts to those not receiving alerts. Our anticipated outcome is a decrease in inappropriate prescribing during the period when the electronic alerts are activated. Other potential outcomes include decrease in length of stay and a decrease in falls.

Morning Star Bamboo Flooring is one of the best bamboo floors on the market today. It is produced from old growth bamboo reeds that are at least 4 years old, thereby increasing hardness. Morning Star Bamboo Flooring creates a naturally beautiful and ecologically friendly product that evokes a feeling of luxury.
Quick Highlights:
To make strand bamboo, shredded bamboo fibers are compressed under extreme heat and pressure. This manufacturing process yields flooring that is even harder and more dense than traditional bamboo floors. Available in a variety of colors to complement and décor, all Morning Star strand bamboo products are finished with premium coating and backed by a 30 year warranty.
And, since bamboo is a naturally sustainable grass that re-grows spontaneously after harvest, you can feel good about making an environmentally friendly flooring decision.
It's simple...

Best Uses
We got this floor because we wanted a very durable material to put on the living room and kitchen. The flooring is hard to dent compared to other flooring options and looked very nice once installed. However, it has been 2 months since we installed and the scratching problems happened right away, it is ridiculous how easy it scratches, we don't have pets. I had some cheap laminate floor before that we never noticed scratches before, but with this floor we are going to have to buy a lot of rugs to put around which definitely defeats the purpose of having nice bamboo flooring. I have tried the scratch repair spray and it doesn't help.
Best Uses
Installed 250 square feet over the course of two days. I was skeptical at first that all the boards were the same length, but after several rows, I noticed that this created very little waste (Ended up with about only one board length of waste). End pieces became starting pieces. All the boards clicked together with minimal haggling. I like that all the lines are very symmetrical. The color variations were subtle, so I opened up 3 boxes and alternated. Some were slightly darker, some had more grain, and some were more uniform. It was enough to make a pretty floor. The boards cut very well from the top down. They splintered a bit from the bottom up, but not bad -- the baseboards will cover it. The color is very similar to Brazilian cherry, but this is a solid product. It feels much more substantial.
Best Uses
I'm more the satisfied with this flooring, so now we are going to install it on our steps and upstairs landing.
Service and delivery comments:
Wonderful people to work with, everything came on time.
Best Uses
replaced all rugs in living room and dining room

went in easy,looks great,but sratchs easy.
Level the floors before installation.
Best Uses
I layed this flooring in the Living, Dining Room, Office and 2 halls. It's very hard to keep this product clean. It picks all dust particles and it scuffs very easily....
This is an amazing flooring, looks fantastic and I have dog tested it to the max and its a very tough floor.
Prep was the difficut part, but do not be afraid, its all doable by the average joe. The Lumber Liquidators flooring people were great! Nancy spent a bunch of time with me, answerd all my questions and some were not easy to answer, she gave me confidence to press ahead...
Floor is hard and durable. Very easy to install. Much easier than the laminet floor I installed 2 years ago. I recommend wearing gloves to avoid some bamboo splinters from back side of flooring. I highly recomend this floor.

Art prints & frames, handmade in England since 1982
Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky was born in Moscow in 1866 and is credited with painting the first purely abstract works. Although many of these works were painted more than a century ago, they remain as current and visually powerful today.
These prints look fantastic matched with one of our hand-finished, contemporary frames and they're the perfect way to introduce colour and energy into a modern space.

Sometimes best intentions go unrewarded. Take the case of Richard Rodriguez, Jr., an employee at the Santa Clara School District in San Jose, California. Aware that he always turned heads in his 1953 Club Coupe, Richard thought it might be a good idea to take the Coupe to some of the schools to show the kids. He envisioned it as being a motivational tool for them, hoping to use his classic car to show them that with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible. Richard's positivity and optimism was instead greeted with cruelty; the beloved coupe that he used for road trips to Santa Cruz and San Francisco was vandalized in the parking lot of the school by some of the students. Fraught with frustration and dismayed by the violence, Richard did receive a blessing in the fact that his insurance ended up paying for all the damages done to the classic car. With this blessing in disguise, Richard began to channel his experience into a more productive light, as he began tearing the car apart and preparing for the ultimate rebuild! "I just went crazy on it, from top to bottom, and from inside and out; I did everything," explains the bomb enthusiast with vigor.
No stranger to the Bomb scene, Richard actually has quite a few builds under his belt, including a '46 Plymouth, '40 Buick, '51 Coupe, the '53 Club Coupe being featured here, and a few others. "This is my fifth or sixth car with full undercarriage," a proud Richard boasts. Beyond the Bomb scene, Richard's love for the culture of Lowriding stems all the way back to his childhood days, where he watched and helped his father in several builds, finding the passion in himself in the process. Among those builds were Bombs and Impala's and one particular '62 holds a special place in Richard's heart. An eight year-old Richard cut his teeth on the '62 Impala alongside his father and the work they did on that car was nothing short of epic. "We showed the '62 convertible at the San Jose Fairgrounds and got first place," says Richard in an excited tone. "It was the last show that was done at the fairgrounds."
While the Impala served as his initial proving ground, his love for Bombs is unmatched, and all of his builds have been within those model years. Currently he's got a frame off project going in his garage as well. "That one is bone stock original," says Richard, intending to keep it that way. During the build of "El Muerto," Richard found out that his '53 Chevy wasn't just another Coupe; it was a '53 Club Coupe. "The Club Coupe was and upscale business coupe," says Richard. This news served to fuel his curiosity and after doing some research on the car, he found out that his Club Coupe needed a piece of trim that went above the quarter panel window. What he thought was a complete exterior wasn't, and Richard set out to find the missing piece. "It's a one year only trim" says Richard with a grin. Realizing the scarcity of the piece, he knew he had an uphill battle ahead of him, and wondered if he was ever going to find the missing puzzle piece to his Club Coupe. "It took me five years to find that trim, and once I found it, it cost me a lot of money," says an exhausted Richard. "If I would have known the rarity of the car, I would have probably gone all original on it."
Richard would like to thank Cario Delgado and Peter Campos, and would like to give a special thanks to his wife, Victoria, and the kids for putting up with him at the swap meet and letting him spend late hours in the garage.

Reds capitalize after call to sink Marlins
Cozart scores tying run on overturn; Ludwick follows with go-ahead hit
MIAMI -- The offense-deprived Reds have had plenty of trouble crossing home plate lately, and Thursday night was no different vs. the Marlins. But this time, when their path to the plate was allegedly blocked, a controversial new rule and a lengthy replay review paved the way to victory.
A 3-1 Reds victory won't be remembered for Johnny Cueto's pitching, some nice defense behind him nor Ryan Ludwick's two-run single that put his team ahead. This one was all about Rule 7.13, which was instituted before this season to prevent home-plate collisions.
"I'm not saying that the rule is good or whatever, but according to the rule, in my opinion, they got the call right," said Reds shortstop Zack Cozart, who was the subject of the disputed and game-changing play.
Trailing 1-0 and generating little against Marlins starter Tom Koehler, opportunity finally came in the eighth inning for the Reds. A leadoff pop fly from Cozart was dropped by second baseman Jordany Valdespin for an error. Devin Mesoraco followed with a pinch-hit lined single to left field.
Reliever Mike Dunn took over to face Billy Hamilton, who sacrifice bunted. Dunn fumbled the ball for an error that left everyone safe and the bases loaded. With one out against another reliever in Bryan Morris, Todd Frazier lifted a fly ball to Giancarlo Stanton in medium-range right field. After the catch, Cozart attempted to tag up and score from third base.
"The way things have been going offensively for us, I was trying to make something happen," Cozart said. "The pitcher on the mound had good stuff. Frazier got the ball out there, and I went home."
Stanton's throw easily beat Cozart to the plate, and he was tagged out by catcher Jeff Mathis without sliding for what was originally ruled an inning-ending double play. Cozart immediately protested, and Reds manager Bryan Price indicated that Mathis was blocking the lane to the plate for the runner to score. It became a crew-chief review.
"In my view, and the way I interpret the rule, that was wrong," Cozart said. "I really didn't know what to do because he was in front of the plate. It was kind of an awkward thing to not be able to slide or anything. I had a good idea the call would get overturned."
Following a six-minute, 10-second review, the call by home-plate umpire Mike Winters was indeed overturned, because it was determined that Mathis violated Rule 7.13 in blocking Cozart's path to the plate. The runner was ruled safe and the Reds had the tying run on a sacrifice fly.
"The throw clearly beat our guy, Cozart, and he was out by a fairly reasonable margin," Price said. "The catcher from the inception of the ball going off the bat had taken away the entire plate. He had separated the plate with his feet. His body was in the middle of the plate. It's not a tough call to make, but it's a tough judgment to have to take. We're trying to protect the catchers; I get it. I imagine in the offseason there will be some serious discussions about changing that rule."
After Hamilton stole second base, Ludwick's lined two-run single to center field off Morris provided the go-ahead runs.
"To lose a ballgame tonight on that play is a joke. It's an absolute joke," said Marlins manager Mike Redmond, who was ejected after the overturned call for arguing. "I don't think anybody who plays this game should feel good about winning that game. And I would say that if had been reversed. That guy was out by 15 feet. It was a great baseball play."
The wins haven't come easy or often for the Reds these days. If victory should come because of a break in their favor after a controversial replay review, they won't complain.
"We've been scuffling, it's no secret, to score some runs," Cozart said.
Losers of 10 of their previous 12 games, the Reds had only scored 24 runs in those games.
"We needed this one," catcher/first baseman Brayan Pena said.
The three-run eighth made a winner out of Cueto after he allowed one run and four hits over seven innings with one walk and nine strikeouts. A two-out homer to left field in the first inning by Stanton was his only blemish. Hamilton threw out Casey McGehee at the plate trying to score on a double later in the first inning. A diving play by right fielder Chris Heisey prevented another run from scoring in the fourth.
"The only thing that we have to do is just stick together, we have to continue to grind and stay competitive," Cueto said, with Pena translating.

The 1940 US Census Community Project is a multi-faceted one and, while there is a great need for individuals and genealogy societies to help index the images once they are released on April 2, 2012, one other area open for volunteers is the 1940 Blog Ambassador Program.
Bloggers Help Spread the Word
FamilySearch has set up a new way for all bloggers to participate in the community effort to not only index the 1940 US Census images as quickly as possible, but to also raise public awareness of the release of the images.
If we're to succeed in providing a fully-indexed 1940 US Census as a resource for the genealogy community, we need messengers to help inform the non-genealogy community about this project.

[Spoiler] "Whisper" Lee Sang-yoon confesses to Kang Shin-il
Lee Sang-yoon made a confession to Lee Bo-young's father Kang Shin-il .
On the latest episode of the SBS drama "Whisper", Lee Dong-joon (Lee Sang-yoon) promised Sin Chang-ho (Kang Shin-il ) that he would re-trial.
Sin Yeong-joo (Lee Bo-young) knew her father won't live long and asked Lee Dong-joon, "Should I lie that his surgery went well and that he will be alright or tell him this summer will be his last".
Sin Yeong-joo couldn't visit her father although he'd woken up so Lee Dong-joon went in instead of her. He started to talk about his condition but Sin Chang-ho said, "I know prosecutor, can I make it through this year?"

I have found so far two english translations, an older one from the Pali Text Society and a more modern one by Bhikkhu Nanamoli.
I took a look at the Nanamoli one and I'm a bit worried that the language is so modern, it loses some of the technicalities of language that appear to be present in the older PTS translation.
Any thoughts?

Is the glass half empty or half full? We've all heard it a million times. And we all know that attitude is everything and how you see things determines how you deal with them. But is having a positive attitude really better? Or should we all strive to simply be realists—to see things as they really are and deal with them accordingly.
One good reason to cultivate a positive attitude has come to light. According to Newsweek, "Researchers at Yale University found that people with an optimistic outlook lived 7.5 years longer than those with a gloomy view of what lies ahead. In their study, a positive attitude was more important than lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels."*
But is attitude predetermined, like the color of our eyes, or is it something we can moderate? To find out, we talked to Charles Kovess, author, lecturer and expert in motivational behavior (kovess.com). Charles has dedicated his life to helping people find the passion and positive energy within them. According to Charles, "Our actions are driven by our beliefs. So how we see things drives our behavior. If we have negative feelings, we will have negative behaviors."
A positive attitude is better, says Charles, "because it gives us greater energy." While negativity is draining and paralyzing, a positive attitude gives us the will to work around obstacles and ultimately succeed.
And the road to attaining a positive inner attitude? According to Charles, it's a challenging process. "It's like training to run a 26-mile marathon. It requires similar amounts of dedicated work and repetition. The key is to understand balance in life. There cannot be positive without negative. There cannot be up without down."
Charles offers tips for cultivating and maintaining a positive attitude:
1. Become aware of your feelings and choose positive, not negative. Initially you might feel like you're faking, but eventually it will be real.
2. Remind yourself that there is always balance. You are bound to meet negative people. Don't let them throw you.
3. Be grateful for all experiences, because we grow through the negative more than the positive.
4. Get some exercise. Go take a walk! The fitter you become, the less negative elements impact you. And fitness increases our energy so we have more energy to handle whatever the universe cares to throw at us.
The bottom line is, you can choose to have a positive attitude. And when you do, chances are you'll have a longer, healthier and more successful life.
Charles Kovess is a well-known motivational speaker and author of Passionate People Produce (Hay House). To learn more you can visit his website at www.kovess.com.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 45-year-old Jasper woman was indicted and pleaded not guilty Tuesday on nine counts of mailing hoax anthrax letters after investigators linked her to the white powdery substance received by the Jacksonville offices of U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson last summer.
According to the indictment, between June 24, 2011, and June 28, 2011, Kathryn Allen mailed threatening letters containing a white powdery substance to the senators' offices.
She also mailed similar letters to the Hamilton County Correctional Institution, the Hamilton County Health Department, the Hamilton County Tax Collector's Office, the Florida Department of Children and Families, and to three private citizens, according to the indictment.
Field and laboratory testing determined that the white powdery substance was not hazardous.
Prosecutors would not say what the motive was for the nine letters, but said the nine people or agencies that received them are not in danger, and furthermore, the target of the alleged plot was none of them. They would not elaborate.
"The fact that this person would send this off under the presumption that it's anthrax is a very serious offense," Channel 4 crime analyst Ken Jefferson said. "Not so much because it was mailed to the senators, but because it was the threat of anthrax is what makes it a federal offense."
Allen was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday morning at her home in Jasper. She made her first appearance in court Tuesday afternoon and was released on $10,000 bail.
Allen's husband said his wife did not send those letters, but would not say anything else.
"Law enforcement did its job. Now it's a legal matter and will be decided in the courts," Nelson's office said in a statement.
"We appreciate law enforcement's diligence in working to apprehend the suspect and helping us continue to serve our constituents," Rubio's office said in a statement.
A tentative trial date of Oct. 1 was set. If convicted on all counts, Allen faces up to 45 years in federal prison.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
Marriage counseling typically brings couples or partners together for joint therapy sessions. Working with a therapist, you'll learn skills to solidify your relationship. These skills might include communicating openly, solving problems together and discussing differences rationally. You'll analyze both the good and bad parts of your relationship as you pinpoint and better understand the sources of your conflicts.
Talking about your problems with a marriage counselor might not be easy. Sessions might pass in silence as you and your partner seethe over perceived wrongs — or you might bring your fights with you, perhaps even yelling or arguing during sessions. Both are OK. Your therapist can act as mediator or referee and help you cope with the resulting emotions and turmoil.
If you or your partner is coping with mental illness, substance abuse or other issues, your therapist might work with other health care providers to provide a complete spectrum of treatment.
If your partner refuses to attend marriage counseling sessions, you can go by yourself. It's more challenging to mend a relationship when only one partner is willing to go to therapy, but you can still benefit by learning more about your reactions and behavior in the relationship.
Marriage counseling is often short term. You might need only a few sessions to help you weather a crisis — or you might need marriage counseling for several months, particularly if your relationship has greatly deteriorated. The specific treatment plan will depend on your situation. In some cases, marriage counseling helps couples discover that their differences truly are irreconcilable and that it's best to end the relationship.
Making the decision to go to marriage counseling can be tough. If you have a troubled relationship, however, seeking help is more effective than ignoring your problems or hoping they get better on their own.

Padres select SS Trea Turner with 13th overall pick in the 2014 MLB Draft
SAN DIEGO - The San Diego Padres today selected shortstop Trea Turner out of North Carolina State with the 13th overall pick on the first day of Major League Baseball's 2014 First-Year Player Draft. Executive Vice President/General Manager Josh Byrnes made the announcement.
Recommended by Padres Area Scout Tyler Stubblefield, Turner hit .321 (69-for-215) this past season for the Wolfpack, collecting 12 doubles, three triples, eight home runs, 65 runs scored, 26 stolen bases along with a .418 on-base percentage as well as a .516 slugging percentage in 54 games as a junior in 2014. The right-handed hitting infielder ranked among the Atlantic Coast Conference leaders in several offensive categories during the 2014 season, including: runs (1st), stolen bases (1st), home runs (T-4th), slugging percentage (T-4th) and total bases (54, T-5th). Additionally, his numbers at the plate this last season earned Turner Louisville Slugger First-Team All-America honors for the second consecutive season. Turner entered the 2014 season ranked by Baseball America as being the third-best college player in the country.
As a sophomore in 2013, the 6-1, 171 pound Lake Worth, Florida native led the Pack in batting average (.368), runs (66), hits (84), triples (4), total bases (126), walks (38), OBP (.455) and stolen bases (30) and took over as NC State's all-time stolen base leader after just 94 career games (117 total). As a freshman in 2012, Turner was a consensus Freshman All-America selection after he led the nation with 57 stolen bases in 61 attempts. Entering this season, Turner was rated by Perfect Game as the fastest college player in the country as well as being the top athlete.
Turner becomes the third college position player selected by the Padres with their number one overall pick in the last four years, joining outfielder Hunter Renfroe (13th overall) in 2013 and infielder Cory Spangenberg (10th overall) in 2011. The 20-year-old was rated as the second-best shortstop and ninth-best overall prospect by Baseball America among all players in the 2014 Draft class.
The Padres will make one more selection on the first day of the draft with the 51st overall selection. The 40-round draft will continue tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. PT with rounds 3-10 and will conclude on Saturday, June 7, with rounds 11-40.

It Saves to be Green – Tax Incentives
Though famous for saying, "It's not easy being green," Kermit the Frog may be singing a different tune in today's economy, where going "green" often comes with significant opportunities for tax incentives and savings.
Both the federal government and many states, including Arizona, provide a range of tax credits and other financial incentives for builders to go green. Key among these incentives are federal's energy-efficient commercial buildings tax deduction and energy investment tax credit, and the State of Arizona's commercial and industrial solar tax credit and renewable energy tax incentive program. Unfortunately, many builders and real estate professionals have been slow to reap the benefits of these green project incentives, often leaving cash on the table.
Federal Level
Energy-Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction
Enacted as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the federal energy-efficient commercial buildings deduction provides owners with an immediate tax deduction for all or part of the cost of installing certain energy-efficient property. The deductible amount is up to $1.80 per square foot for the installation of interior lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation, hot water or building envelope systems that are installed as part of a plan to reduce the amount of power used by 50 percent or more, in comparison to a reference building as defined in the Treasury Regulations. The deduction is available for property that is "placed in service" before Dec. 31, 2013, and covers "green" projects such as the installation of automatic lighting controls, efficient insulation, and the use of recycled water for cooling and restroom facilities.
Energy Investment Tax Credit
The federal energy investment tax credit is aimed at encouraging taxpayers to produce and use energy sources other than oil or gas. Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), businesses are entitled to claim a 10 percent or 30 percent credit for installing systems that generate energy for the business' own use. A 30 percent credit is available for the installation of equipment using solar energy to generate electricity or to heat or cool a building, fuel cells that generate electricity, and small wind energy property. A 10 percent credit is available for the installation of a solar system for lighting a building, certain combined heat and power systems, and equipment using groundwater for heating or cooling. In order to claim the credit, the taxpayer must either construct or reconstruct the property, or be the first user of the property, and the residence must satisfy certain performance and quality standards set forth in the Treasury Regulations.
State Level
Arizona Commercial/Industrial Solar Energy Tax Credit
Under Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS), an income tax credit is available to businesses that install one or more solar energy devices in an Arizona facility. The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the cost of the solar energy device, with up to $25,000 of tax credit available for a single building. The credit is available through the Arizona Department of Commerce (ADOC), which is authorized to certify up to $1 million in solar energy credits per year. Solar energy devices qualifying for the credit generally include devices designed to provide heating, cooling or daylighting, or to produce electrical power from solar energy.
Arizona Renewable Energy Tax Incentive Program
Effective Jan. 1, 2010, the State of Arizona began offering a tax incentive program aimed at encouraging renewable energy product manufacturers to relocate to Arizona, or expand their local operations. The program provides income and property tax incentives to businesses in the solar, wind, geothermal or renewable energy industries that make certain qualifying investments in manufacturing or headquarter operations in Arizona. Qualifying businesses may receive a refundable income tax credit, as well as real and personal property tax reductions. The credit is available through the ADOC, which is authorized to certify up to $70 million in income tax credits for a five-year period, beginning on Jan. 1, 2010.
The green tax credits and incentives highlighted above represent only the surface of potential tax and financial benefits available to companies committed to green construction. However, because the ability to claim tax incentives and credits for green projects often involves some pre-planning, certification or record keeping requirements, consulting with a professional tax adviser prior to undertaking a green construction project is advisable.

I am very excited to announce to the community the first educational webcast on KVM hosted by the Open Virtualization Alliance (OVA). You do not need to be a member of the OVA, the webcast is open to the public and free for you and your clients.
The OVA is a consortium of over 225 companies that was formed to foster the adoption of open virtualization technologies. Open virtualization is important to our clients because it enables technology choice based on business and technical requirements, avoids vendor lock-in to a single platform, and offers lower cost to virtualize and manage their virtual machines. Whether it's enterprises consolidating infrastructure, deploying private clouds or service providers offering massive public cloud infrastructures to their clients, server virtualization is critical to the design. And for that reason, enterprises and service providers are looking for open and cost-effective virtualization solutions that meet a wide range of technical and business requirements.
KVM has emerged as an impressive enterprise-grade alternative to expensive proprietary virtualization solutions. Many leading independent software vendors (ISVs) are committed to KVM and KVM-based solutions. But much more remains to be done before the market fully realizes the benefits of this technology. And this is how the OVA helps with its first educational webcast.
Free and open is not the reason you should register for the webcast though, it is the amazing expertise we will have access to:
Gary Chen (@garychen147)
Adam Jollans (@adamjollans)
Vijay Sarathy (@vsarathy)
and more from OVA members Acronis and Fujitsu.
I invite you to join me to learn more about KVM as an Enterprise-Grade solution with record-breaking performance, superior scalability, advanced security and lower cost.
Webcast: Understanding KVM as an Enterprise-Grade Solution
Register for this webcast at: http://www.openvirtualizationalliance.org/news/index.html
Let's show our support of the OVA and invite our colleagues, clients, and friends of affordable and open innovation to this webcast.

This game really pissed me off.
But the Pacers really didn't deserve to win this one.
Longest game ever, damn.
That refs arrogant face!! ****
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
I don't know what the ruling is if it hits the side of the backboard. If it's the back, it's clearly out of bounds.
**** that noise.
At the very least review it dammit! That was a turnover, in the crunches of crunch times, how can you not at least review it?!
I feel like I was just robbed or something. What a frustratingly bizarre game.

The diagnosis of PD depends upon the presence of one or more of the four most common motor symptoms of the disease. In addition, there are other secondary and nonmotor symptoms that affect many people and are increasingly recognized by doctors as important to treating Parkinson's.
Each person with Parkinson's will experience symptoms differently. For example, many people experience tremor as their primary symptom, while others may not have tremors, but may have problems with balance. Also, for some people the disease progresses quickly, and in others it does not.
By definition, Parkinson's is a progressive disease. Although some people with Parkinson's only have symptoms on one side of the body for many years, eventually the symptoms begin on the other side. Symptoms on the other side of the body often do not become as severe as symptoms on the initial side.
Find out more by reading detailed descriptions of Parkinson's symptoms below:
