Medical Definition of Lithium
Lithium: A naturally occurring salt that, in purified form, is used to treat certain psychiatric disorders, especially bipolar disease The therapeutic level of lithium'the amount needed to treat bipolar disorders'is perilously close to the level that can cause toxicity, so monitoring of blood levels is required. Symptoms of lithium toxicity include diarrhea, vomiting, blurred vision, loss of coordination, and loss of motor control. Treatment of lithium toxicity involves immediately reducing or discontinuing lithium use under medical supervision.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

The Movie:
Director Tom Thurman's 2006 documentary Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride: Hunter S. Thompson On Film is a look at exactly what the title states, that being the films that Thompson's life and exploits inspired, primarily Where The Buffalo Roam and Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. Those looking for an in-depth documentary or biography on Thompson himself may walk away disappointed from this one, but for those who want some background information on the unique films that were made based on the late author's work, the film proves to be pretty interesting.
Made up of archival clips (many of which can also be seen in Breakfast With Hunter and Fear And Loathing In Gonzovision) and interviews with various writers, actors and directors inspired by the man as well as acquaintances and friends, the film does give us a quick biography to set the scene. We learn of Thompson's early days in Kentucky and how he became a juvenile delinquent before enlisting in the U.S. Air Force where he began his journalistic career. From there we're told of his early works and how he rose to prominence after covering the Kentucky Derby. Thompson would go on to commit suicide in 2005, and his ashes were shot out of a cannon across the grounds of his ranch as per his request thanks in no small part to Johnny Depp. Once the stage is set, the film switches gears and focuses primarily on the aforementioned films. Nick Nolte provides some appropriately gravelly sounding narration for the film.
Interviewees wrangled for the film include Bill Murray and Johnny Depp (the two actors who are best known for their portrayals of Thompson), Gary Busey, John Cusack, Benicio Del Toro, Harry Dean Stanton, and Sean Penn as well as authors, journalists and critics like Leonard Maltin, Ed Bradley, William Brinkley, and Tom Wolfe. Hunter's former wife, Anita Thompson, shows up to speak about her time at the Woody Ranch in Colorado that Hunter called home for so many years.
Highlights in the film include an eccentric Gary Busey harassing the director and trying to get him to interview him in a more interesting manner, Cusack talking about playing shotgun golf with Hunter on the ranch, and Thom Wolfe explaining why Thompson's writing is so important and comparing him to Mark Twain. Everyone who appears on camera shows an obvious admiration for the man and his work, and everyone has their own story about an encounter with him or about how he influenced them in one way or another. This doesn't lend the documentary a whole lot of serious critical depth or analysis but it does put a personal touch on the film that lends the picture some charm. The interviews with friends and those who knew Thompson on a more personal level are the highlights of the picture and it's in these segments that the movie really succeeds in painting a more intimate picture of the infamous scribe. Artist Ralph Steadman's recollections on his adventures with the late author are also amusing and at times even a little touching in a strange sort of way.
At under eighty-minutes in length, the film is a little on the short side but Thurman has paced his film well and he does seem to cover the ground he set out to cover. The documentary effectively takes us quickly through Hunter's life and then explains the significance of his work and his influence on the films that were made about him. Depp and Murray get a lot of screen time, which is understandable since they played him, and as interesting as these two actors can be they are, surprisingly, some of the weaker links in the picture. They discuss their take on playing the man but don't really get into the fine details though Murray's recollections of his meeting with Thompson is definitely amusing and it's obvious from Depp's reaction to some of the questions that he certainly had an affinity for the man. A few too many clips are used in the film and as such it does feel a bit padded in spots but aside from that, it does a decent job of examining the films even if it could have been a better picture by spending a bit more time on Thompson's life and times.
With that said and done, make sure you sit through the end credits if you're a Harry Dean Stanton fan.
Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride arrives on DVD in a solid 1.78.1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. While the newer interview footage looks nice, some of the older clips of Thompson from the sixties and seventies aren't in the best of shape. That said, they're all perfectly watchable even if many of them are faded and soft looking. The modern footage is bright and colorful and comes through without any heavy compression artifacts or obvious edge enhancement. Detail levels are fine if unremarkable and the movie looks fine on this disc.
The English language Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo track is far from fancy but it gets the job done without any serious issues. There are a few spots where, in the archival clips, Thompson mumbles a fair bit and as such is a little difficult to understand but that was the way he spoke a lot of the time and that's not so much a problem with the DVD as it is with its subject. Aside from that, things are decent. The newly shot interview clips sound nice and clear and while some of the older clips aren't quite as clean sounding as the newer material, most of them come through without any problems.
Aside from static menus and chapter stops, Starz has supplied a couple of television spots used to promote the film. Other than that, this puppy is barebones, which is a shame as it would have been nice to hear a commentary or see some deleted clips from the various interviews that make up the bulk of the feature.
While this isn't the best documentary on Hunter S. Thompson ever made, it is an interesting look at the films that his life inspired. The interviews are, for the most part, fairly interesting and while we don't really learn anything new about Thompson from this film, it's at least an interesting examination of his life, times and influence. Recommended for Thompson junkies, a solid rental for everyone else.

A judge declared a mistrial Thursday in the case of a former lobbyist caught up in the Jack Abramoff affair, the biggest setback in the government's long-running prosecution of the influence-peddling scandal.
The jury deadlocked over seven counts alleging that Kevin Ring lavished thousands of dollars worth of tickets and meals on employees of then-Republican Reps. John Doolittle of California and Ernest Istook of Oklahoma and on Justice Department officials in return for congressional appropriations and other assistance for Abramoff's clients.
The panel of seven women and five men also was unable to reach a verdict on an eighth count, on Ring's part in arranging a job that paid $96,000 to Doolittle's wife. On Tuesday, jurors said they had reached a verdict on that count, although they did not disclose what it was. In two more days of deliberating about the case, the jurors' agreement on that count came undone.
Ring, who declined to comment as he left the courtroom after the mistrial was declared, is a former aide to Doolittle. The ex-congressman, who has not been charged, was named by the government as an unindicted coconspirator in the case.
U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle raised the prospect of a retrial. Ring's lawyers objected, saying that cases pending before the Supreme Court could result in decisions that undercut the law federal prosecutors used in charging Ring. The prosecution said the government does intend to seek a date for a retrial but that it wants to meet with the judge and defense counsel about next steps. The judge set a status conference for Monday.
The protracted criminal investigation has sent Abramoff and former Republican Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio to prison and led to guilty pleas by 15 other people.
Ring's lawyers called no witnesses to the stand, instead making their case by eliciting testimony on cross-examination that was favorable to Ring from prosecution witnesses who were longtime associates of the lobbyist.
"It sounds sinister to talk about meals and tickets, near in time to when folks are being asked to take official actions," one of Ring's lawyers told the jury in closing arguments. "It is the way lobbying works, it is the way politics works. ... This is not a sign of a bribe. This is not the sign of a corrupt relationship."
During deliberations, the jurors asked the judge whether there was a legal limit on the dollar value of meals and tickets lobbyists could provide public officials. There wasn't, Huvelle said.
In a brief interview, Istook said Thursday only one person in the congressman's former office was accused of improper behavior. John Albaugh, a one-time top aide to Istook, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the House in the Abramoff scandal. He is cooperating with prosecutors.
The Justice Department also has two obstruction of justice charges pending against Ring alleging that he misled investigators who were looking into the Abramoff scandal. The trial of the two obstruction counts was severed from the others and that trial has yet to be scheduled.
Ring is only the second person implicated in the Abramoff scandal to fight the criminal charges at trial rather than pleading guilty and cutting a deal to cooperate with prosecutors in exchange for the possibility of a reduced sentence. The other was David Safavian, the George W. Bush administration's former chief procurement officer, whose convictions were overturned following a trial in 2006. Safavian was convicted again in a retrial and faces sentencing Friday.

By Joginder Tuteja, Bollywood Hungama News Network
More than a month after its launch, 'Bachchanalia' has finally arrived on stands. Thankfully, it has been worth a wait, as one finds out after flipping though this 300 page book which could well serve as a Bible for all Amitabh Bachchan starrers. Not that it takes an almost four hour read to figure this out. Spending 15 minutes on this book is good enough to appreciate what could be expected from this brilliant compilation that is easily the best that one has laid hands on when it comes to a book about Hindi cinema.
What works most in the favor of this book is its presentation. And for this, one has to credit Osian's Center for Archiving, Research and Development (CARD), which in association with Bhawana Somayaa is responsible for co-authoring the book. While Bhawana Somaaya has ensured that the text in the book makes for an interesting read, CARD is responsible for all the publicity material and memorabilia (e.g. Posters, Showcards, Lobby Cards, Trophy, Photographic Still, Song-Synopsis Booklet) which makes 'Bachchanalia' a complete reading experience.
The book follows a truly inventive structure, what with a page (or a half) dedicated to each and every film that Amitabh Bachchan has done in his career. So what one sees is a poster of each of his films, some of them belonging to the rarest of the rare variety like Pyaar Ki Kahani, Raaste Ka Patthar, Bandhe Haath, Gehri Chaal and many more. This is not all as there are also innumerous unseen stills from his movies that make one turn pages with a tearing hurry.
Other than the sheer visual appeal which is good enough to make one go for the book, what brings in further entertainment are the film's synopsis, a quote (either from Amitabh Bachchan or a member from the cast and crew of the film) along with trivia which is highlighted as 'Between The Shots'. In fact it's this trivia which is the most addictive of all since most of them indeed belong to 'Did You Know' variety. Icing on the cake is the write-up at the top and bottom of every page which lists down the movies (from both Bollywood and Hollywood) that made an impact in the year when a particular Bachchan film was released. Though these films may not necessarily hold any connection with a Bachchan film, for the readers who wish to keep a date with history, it acts as a good study material to explore.
True to it's title, 'Bachchanalia - The Films & Memorabilia of Amitabh Bachchan' sticks to narrating facts about the films that Amitabh Bachchan has done over a period of time and never once deviates into unnecessary tangents. What this means for a reader is that gossips and other irrelevant anecdotes about his personal life are not included in the writing, hence ensuring that the book remains clean, uncontroversial and still engaging for an average reader. While writing a book about an actor who has been THE face of Indian cinema for long now, any writer would be tempted to include spicier details to make the final product more 'reader-friendly' but Bhawana Somaaya makes a smart choice and stays within the domain of the book's concept, hence justifying the USP of 'Bachchanalia', which is 'Amitabh Bachchan and his movies'. Period.
A voluminous book which would easily weigh a few kilos and bears an international stamp to it, courtesy its design, layout, presentation and content, 'Bachchanalia' packs in a lot in those few words that add to the brief content on every page. Some of the most interesting ones are presented here:
* Muqaddar Ka Sikandar - Prakash Mehra had envisaged the film as a modern day take on 'Devdas'
* Silsila - Smita Patil and Parveen Babi were the leading ladies of the film before being replaced by Jaya Bhaduri and Rekha
* Major Saab - Ajay Devgan had directed parts of the film when the original director, Tinu Anand, was off sick
* Bombay To Goa - Shooting 'Dekha Na Haaye Re...' was a nightmare since Amitabh required numerous retakes
* Ek Nazar - Nadira was one of the first to detect something brewing between Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri at the film's sets
* Raaste Kaa Patthar - Amitabh was quite proud of his performance in this film which unfortunately didn't work
* Abhimaan - The film was earlier titled Raag Ragini and Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri had invested their own money in the project
* Chupke Chupke - Hrishikesh Mukherjee wanted newcomers for the parts played by Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri
* Don - 'Khaike Paan Banaraswaala' was earlier recorded for a Manoj Kumar film
* Shakti - Makers of the film were almost convinced to replace Smita Patil with Rekha mid-way during the film's shooting
* Adalat - Amitabh Bachchan and Neetu Singh did a 'Kung-fu' dance number in the film
There are minor factual errors in the book like Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag being shown as a 2008 release (whereas the fact is that it had released in 2007), Yaar Meri Zindagi being said to be stuck (when the fact is that this Amitabh Bachchan - Shatrughan Sinha starrer, after being stuck for decades, was finally released in 2008) or reference to Fashion stating that the film was 'based' on the true story of Delhi based model Geentanjali Nagpal (when the fact is that this incident just formed a small episode in the film).
However, in the bigger scheme of things when the book brings in an ocean of information with it (with a film by film account of each and every special appearance done by him along with it's poster), one can easily let such aberrations pass. Otherwise where else would one find movies like Jabaan, Charandas, Walayati Babu, Paan Khaye Saiiyan Hamar and, hold your breath, Film Hi Film (each of them starring Amitabh Bachchan in some role or other) being mentioned about in a single publication?
'Bachchanalia' is indeed special, and exclusive. A lethal combo that makes it a MUST for every cine follower who has claimed to be a follower (even if not a fan) of Amitabh Bachchan cinema. It's this very beauty of the book which makes it an irresistible read because it is not written from the point of view of a fan or a reader who could well be a fan. Instead, the book is a reference guide for each and every film that Amitabh Bachchan has done in a near four decade long career as an actor. The information which is presented is not just enlightening, it is also engaging and entertaining, and something that works in totality to make 'Bachchanalia' a book that should find a place on the shelves of every Bollywood aficionado.

Syracuse Lacrosse: Do They Have What it Takes in 2008?November 6, 2007
The Syracuse lacrosse team began practicing for the 2008 season in September. Although the official season begins in February, the Orange are hoping to rebuild after their first losing season since 1975 (5-8), which knocked them out of the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1982.
SU's performance last year was a big blow to Orange fans, but coach John Desko seems to be optimistic about the upcoming season.
"I'm really excited to be back here," Desko said in a press release. "After a season like we had all you can do is evaluate what went right and what we did wrong and try to figure out how to make it better."
So, what can we expect from the Syracuse team this year?
Coach Desko has eight of his eleven starters coming back including All-Americans Dan Hardy, Steve Brooks, and Mike Leveille.
He also held onto his top face-off man, Danny Brennan (the NCAA allowed him to compete as a fifth year senior) after loosing Jon Jerome who was ranked as one of the top ten in face-off win percentages.
The Syracuse team has found leadership in seniors Mike Leveille, Evan Brady, and Kyle Guadagnolo, who will be captains for the 2008 season. All three were key starters for the Orange last year.
Last year, a lot of problems were attributed to goalie Peter Coluccini. This year, fifteen freshmen have been added to the lineup, including goalie John Galloway, who was West Genesee High School's starting goalie during the 2007 NY State title game.
Although things are starting to look up for Syracuse, I don't know if they'll have what it takes to win against some of the other NCAA powerhouses. They do have a much deeper and more experienced team than last year, which should at least give them a chance and keep them from another losing record.
Good luck Orange.

If Lin can torch the lakers like he has the past three teams then i'm gonna have to go full out LINsane. The guy is sparking something special with the knicks right now and I gotta hope it continues.
opposing pgs wont really get tougher than deron williams...im sick of people saying it was just the nets. if tyson goes off on orlando thats a HUGE deal even if theyre 5-15.

Clean Air Day
The web site CleanAirNY.org has an email list worth subscribing to. Sponsored by the NY Dept of Transportation, the alerts tell you whenever NY is at risk of smog. You'll get an email the day before saying, "Hey tomorrow is a clean air day!" with advice on what to do: drive less etc.
It is common sense advice but what is cool is that they are keeping you updated on the air quality of NY, which changes daily.
It is nice to know when the city is especially smoggy since you may be able to plan around it, or AWAY from it….
As a NY green contractor we try to reduce our footprint by bicycling as much as possible. We have a diesel pick up that has been converted to run on vegetable oil from a local doughnut shop but whenever we can we use our bikes and foot scooters for small runs to the hardware store.

The MLB draft is coming up, and starts next week on Tuesday night, June 9. Besides having the #1 pick, the Nats also have the #10 pick. With Mike Rizzo in charge (maybe), the man who was a big part of putting together a solid Arizona farm system, there is hope that they will do something good with this pick. Over the course of this week, I'll profile several players that are potential picks for the Nats at #10.
Rich Poythress
Another position player that the Nats have been keeping their eye on is Georgia first baseman Rich Poythress. He's listed as #24 and #33 on the Law and Callis depth charts, respectively. He's big and he's strong, listed at 6'4″ and 245 lbs, and he's also apparently very slow.

Due to the higher number of revolutions per minute and therefore greater centrifugal forces created by performance enhanced motor set ups, the original clutch baskets tend to open up at higher motor speeds and fly apart with almost always disastrous results, in terms of what occurs within your engines crankcase when the contents of the clutch are distributed throughout the gearbox...To help prevent this happening we have clutch baskets with outer reinforcement rings. The ring itself is produced by sectioning pre welded tubing for added strength and is then welded in position around the clutch basket. This makes it almost impossible for the clutch basket to open up at high revs and the clutch circlip, which holds the whole clutch cluster together, remains in place.
We recommend slight modification to the clutch plates before fitting to avoid them catching on the reinforcement ring. Just simply take a small metal file and smooth them off a little!
Conclusion: THE value for money reinforced conversion clutch kit !
SIP-TIP: The strengthened clutch cluster circlip produced by SURFLEX is a must when using your newly reinforced clutch basket. Do not forget to order a new push rod, castle nut and also a new castle nut locking cage washer for reliable and enduring use of this clutch unit.

KEARNS, Utah (AP) — For a brief moment, J.R. Celski thought about what happened before the last Olympics.
When he sliced open his leg and wondered if he'd make it to the Winter Games.
He quickly put those worries aside. Now, he's heading to Sochi — this time as America's best hope at the short track.
"It's hard not to think about it," he conceded. "I had a moment."
Celski won the 1,000 meters at the U.S. Olympic trials Sunday, assuring he'll compete in all three individual events in Russia.
He'll compete at his second Olympics looking to add to the pair of bronze medals he won at the 2010 Vancouver Games, when Apolo Anton Ohno was ending his career as America's most decorated Winter Olympian.
"I've gotten the experience, but this time is completely different for me," Celski said. "Mentally, physically, I'm healthy. I'm going to ride that momentum. I look forward to doing some damage over there."
Celski lost just one race during the four-day trials at the Utah Olympic Oval, finishing second by half a blade length to Chris Creveling in the first 1,000 final on Sunday. Celski came back to easily win the second 1,000 final of the day.
During the trials before the last Winter Games, Celski's right skate sliced his left leg in a crash, spewing blood on the ice. He bruised his femoral artery and came within inches of severing it, which could have been fatal.
He bounced back five months later to make the podium in Vancouver.
But memories of the crash still pop up from time to time.
"Everybody gets those kind of thoughts in their heads," he said. "You've just got to push past them."
Celski will be joined on the men's team by Eddy Alvarez, Creveling, 2010 Olympian Jordan Malone and Kyle Carr. Alvarez became the first Cuban-American man to make a U.S. Olympic speedskating team.
"It's an incredible feeling," said Alvarez, one of seven former inline skaters to make the short track team. "Hopefully we bring back some gold."
Celski and Alvarez qualified for three events — 500, 1,000 and 1,500.
"I couldn't have asked for a better team than this," Celski said. "I'm so happy to bring these guys and go to Sochi and represent."
Malone fell in the quarterfinals of the second 1,000 and withdrew from the ensuing rounds knowing that he had accumulated enough points to secure an Olympic berth. He strained a hip tendon and bruised ribs in the fall.
Jessica Smith won both of the women's 1,000 finals, and she'll skate in three individual events in Sochi. She competed with a small tear in her left hip that she has deferred surgery on until after the Olympics.
Joining her on the women's team are 2010 Olympian Alyson Dudek and Emily Scott. The U.S. didn't qualify a relay for the games, leaving the American women with their smallest squad since the sport was introduced to the Olympics in 1992.
Smith and Scott each will compete in the 500, 1,000 and 1,500. Dudek will skate the 500 and 1,500.
Smith is the only Olympian to be coached by Jae Su Chun, who was accused by a dozen national team members of physical, emotional and verbal abuse in fall 2012. He also was alleged to have ordered speedskater Simon Cho to sabotage the skates of a Canadian rival.
Chun denied all allegations, and other members of the team came to his defense. Chun is serving a two-year suspension through October, but he was allowed to be in the stands during the trials as long as he didn't get inside the racing area. Smith relied on another coach when she was on the ice.
"He's helped my dreams come true," Smith said. "He's stuck by me this whole time, just like I've stuck by him this entire time. It's obviously paid off. I won every distance with his help and I wouldn't be skating at the level I'm skating without his help."

My Dog Has Died - Poem by Eloida Capuno
She passed away today
My dog of nine years
She went quietly as she
did when I first had her on a box
With her pleading eyes
And gentle stance
I may not be able to write
As beautifully as Neruda
In paying tribute to this
Faithful friend
Who kept watch over us
Day in and out
But the lesson I learned
I will forever keep in my heart
She maybe gone for good
And I will not be able to
Return the goodness of a beast
Who kept loving till the end
While i remained untouched
Cold and distant
My dog has died
And she was buried
Along with the sadness
I saw in her eyes
I knew I gave her less
Than she deserved
But she will always be
Remembered with fondness

Where does the money go?
The next wave of improvements
The industry is approaching the point where most of the efficiencies have been achieved in each individual area or function. The next wave of improvements will come from taking a more integrated view of operations: changing what is done in one part of the business to create improved efficiency and effectiveness in another. Work scheduling is an example. Get this right and it makes work execution in the field more effective.
As we move into AMP6 and beyond, there are numerous challenges facing the UK water sector when it comes to efficiencies. The main is the move to a totex environment.

I have seriously though about buying me one of these automatic tanners but I'll be honest, I really don't see the benefits of one. I mean, I flesh a deer cape and all then tan it in about 10 minutes with Rinehart Creme tan. What real advantage does an automatic tanner provide? How will it make my hides come out any better than they look now? Just curious, would appreciate any advice. Also, what does it cost to run one of these thing? Doesn't look like it would be very cost effective.
Return to Tanning Category Menu
Doesn't the cream take 8 or so hours to penetrate? Therefore, it actually takes longer to tan it than just rubbing in on in 10 minutes. Are there areas on the cape where the cream is less concentrated than other spots? You have thick spots, and thin spots on capes so what proof do you have that the cream penetrated %100 of every square inch of the cape, especially the thick areas? You don't. With a pressure tanner, you have a BETTER tan just for that reason alone. Oh, and it only takes 5 minutes to lock and load any auto tanner.
You can accomplish the same results just by doing the same soak in a static tank. Pickle or not flesh then Liqua Tan. I do prefer the 5-10 hour pickle in Pre Tan #110 shave it rinse, drain well Liqua Tan then mount. No neutralizing need and no expensive equipment needed to make it work, and a guaranteed skin life. Less hype great results.

Apart from giving full coverage to the Galaxy – FC Chelsea game on July 21 ESPN will also present a one hour documentary called "David Beckham: New Beginnings". During the game, a Beckham camera will follow solely what the player is doing on the field for visitors to espn360.com.
One comment on "Beckham saying hello and goodbye on ESPN"
It all just seems a little odd to me. It's good advertising for the Galaxy, but I wonder what his team mates really think… I don't think Real Madrid will miss him that much on the field, financially, thats a different story…

Patna, Dec 15 (IANS) Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Yadav has been allotted an official bungalow in the high security zone in the state capital, an official said on Tuesday.
"Tejaswi Yadav has been allotted the bungalow at 5, Deshratan Marg, located just behind 1, Anne Marg, the official residence of the chief minister," said an official of the building construction department, which allot bungalows to ministers and legislators.
Tejaswi, 26, is living with his parents at 10, Circular Road, the bungalow allotted to his mother and former chief minister Rabri Devi.
An official bungalow will also be allotted to Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad's elder son Tej Pratap Yadav, the state health minister, soon.
Earlier, it was reported that Lalu Prasad was not keen on separate official bungalows for his sons Tejaswi and Tej Pratap.
Tejaswi made his debut in the state assembly with a victory in Raghopur constituency while Tej Pratap won in Mahua.
According to RJD leaders close to the RJD chief, both Tejaswi and Tej Pratap will continue to stay at their parents' house even after they get to occupy separate official residences.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is at present staying at 7, Circular Road. He is likely to shift to the CM's official residence at 1, Anne Marg early next year.
Nitish Kumar vacated the CM's official residence in 2014 after he resigned following the ruling Janata Dal-United's defeat in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.

More than 90 percent of UK iPhone owners accessed mobile media in January. According to comScore, mobile email is used by 75 percent of British iPhone owners, making it the most popular type of mobile content consumed on the device.
iPhone users are often twice as likely as other smartphone users at using the following applications, according to the comScore iPhone report: accessing news/info via browser; email; listening to mobile music; accessing news/info via downloaded application; social networking; accessing weather reports; using web search.
"Consumers are clearly embracing the iPhone's touch screen keyboard," observed Alistair Hill, analyst, comScore.
"The penetration of email usage on the iPhone is more than double that of the smartphone category as a whole. Over the past several quarters, the UK smartphone market has been dominated by the N95, which lacks a QWERTY keyboard. As a result, we see smartphone users favour using their device for music and photo messaging, two activities for which these Nokia devices are particularly well-suited, more than email."
comScore data show that nearly 80 percent of UK iPhone owners accessed news and other information via a browser, four times the rate for all mobile phone users.
The App Store is also extremely popular among iPhone owners, with 55.6 percent accessing news and information via a downloaded application, compared with 22.1 percent of smartphone owners, and 6.3 percent of all mobile phone users.
The iPhone has also provided a boost to the mobile games sector, with 37 percent of iPhone owners downloading a game and 18.6 percent purchasing one. Only 5.6 percent of smartphone owners and 2.7 percent of mobile phone users purchased a game in January.
comScore also revealed today the demographics of iPhone owners, and found that 75 percent are males, mostly between the ages of 18-44. Smartphone ownership also typically skews male in the UK, with males comprising 65 percent of the audience.
"The iPhone is indeed an early adopter phenomenon in the United Kingdom," said Hill.
"While the device's ease of use is certainly contributing to the lift we see in mobile media consumption, the fact that the device requires a subscription package that includes an unlimited data plan is also a contributing factor. However, it is also important to note that while nearly all iPhone owners are consuming mobile media, the device is in the hands of only 2 percent of mobile phone users in the UK."
comScore data also shows that 55 percent of mobile media consumers are male, and 65 percent are between the ages of 18-44. 23 percent of mobile media users own a smartphone; and 3.5 percent, an iPhone.

General Question
What's a good product for waterproofing leather?
I'm making some leather bracers. I bought the leather, the ink, cut the pieces and put them together, then I remembered something.
Back when I used to use this kind of stuff more, I noticed leather tends to wear out pretty rapidly when worn on the skin, mainly because the sweat would sink into the pores and basically rot it.
Now, i'm not going to wear these bracers as often as I used to do back then (When I was actively trying to be a stereotypical metalhead) or as long, but I'm going to sweat in them, because they're black, and thick, and thus tend to get hot.
I've looked into waterproofing on the net and found that the prevalent answer seems to be Sno-Seal, which is a beeswax waterproofing cream. Problem is they don't sell it here in Italy and thus I would have to find a replacement that is:
a) Suitable for the rough, untreated side of the bracers (the inner side).
b) Not damaging to the skin, even to sensitive ones (My skin is very sensitive, I tend to get rashes for every little thing).
c) Of a generic enough description that I can actually tell "I'd like this kind of product" to a shopkeeper and they will give me the Italian counterpart.
I've tried googleing "beeswax leather waterproofer" (in Italian of course) but most products bear the warning that they should not be used on suede and untreated leather, which either means that they wouldn't work or that waterproofing it that way would be considered a damage, even thought it would get the job done (I.E. it would ruin the texture of a pair of suede shoes, but it would make them waterproof, which is irrelevant to me, because I don't care how the inside looks, but only about points a) and b) ).

Ancelotti insists rookies are ready for Europe
Manager Carlo Ancelotti is confident his Chelsea youngsters are good enough to cut it in the Champions League - starting on Tuesday against Marseille.
Chelsea are short of experience with Didier Drogba suspended and Frank Lampard, Salomon Kalou and Yossi Benayoun all injured so Ancelotti will turn to his teenagers to provide back up.
The untested quintet of Josh McEachran, Jeffrey Bruma, Gael Kakuta, Fabio Borini and Patrick van Aanholt are all in contention to line up alongside Ancelotti on the bench but the Chelsea boss insists he is happy with the situation.
"I have a lot of options," Ancelotti said. "Obviously it is important to have experience in the squad but we want our young players to be able to play at this level and then the experience will come later.
"We have a good mix of young, improving players and others with enough experience to play a fantastic game.
"The decision for the game against Marseille is who plays on the right up front. Anelka and Malouda will start then I must choose between Kakuta, Daniel Sturridge or some other player. Josh McEachran is not ready to start, but maybe from the bench if he is needed.
"Up front, we have to consider that Sturridge and Kakuta are Chelsea [first-team] players. And McEachran also. It's normal to have injuries and this is not a problem for us."
Ancelotti, who only added Benayoun, 30, and Brazil midfielder Ramires, 23, to his squad after letting ten players go in the summer, lost his first game of the season against Manchester City at the weekend, when the introduction of youngsters Sturridge and McEachran failed to inspire a comeback.
"I said before Saturday it would be very difficult to remain unbeaten the whole season, so we are not so upset to lose our record," Ancelotti said.
"It was not the first time we have lost a game and it will not be the last, so I am not looking for a reaction from my players against Marseille. I just need them to play their football and pay attention."
French champions Marseille have struggled to find the form that won them the title last season and lost their opening Champions League match 1-0 at home to Spartak Moscow.

Does anyone know on what basis they call for the written test in Vidya Mandir school, Mylapore ? This is the only school which properly announces the date of issue of application forms every year for all classes. But they dont call for the test. Atleast they can give an oppurtunity for those who have applied to attend the test . I dont understand why are they issuing the forms to everyone and make them disappointed by sending the reject card. Has anyone had this experience ?
hi mam
this year i applied for 1 st std for my daughter, the same thing was happend, the interview date i did,t get call letter, but one of my friend's daughter got call letter , so based on that i went with my baby but they did,t allowed to meet principal, this is second time to me. i also don't know on wat basis they are sending call letter.
does anyone received a call letter from vidhya mandir,mylapore regarding the entrance test on april 17?
This is one way collecting free money from public. So they issue 1000 applications for 10 seats, see who is benefited and we parents spend lot of hours and travel money to get disappointed. Looks like we need more schools in the city with more transparent management.
Hi friends
Do they conduct entrance test for LKG Admission too?
Kalaivani S

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – The Von Maur location in Alpharetta will host a book signing Nov. 13 from 4- 6 p.m. with Carol Aebersold, the co-author of the bestselling family tradition "The Elf on the Shelf."
Selling over 2.5 million copies since 2005, "The Elf on the Shelf" has captured the hearts of children everywhere who have embraced the magic of adopting their very own scout elf, sent by Santa Claus. Written by mother-daughter team Carol V. Aebersold and Chanda A. Bell, the book tells the story of the scout elves sent by Santa with the mission to keep watch over children during the holiday season. This gift set includes a North Pole pixie-elf, hardbound children's book and keepsake box.
When children register their elf adoption at www.elfontheshelf.com, they receive an official adoption certificate and a special letter from Santa. As soon as an elf is adopted by a family and given a name, it receives its Christmas magic. The magic is critical, granting the elf the power to observe all the family fun each day during the holiday season and then fly back to Santa's workshop with a report each night. When children wake up the next morning, they race to see where their elf has decided to sit for the day ahead. This special hide-and-seek game creates wonderful family moments throughout the holiday season.
Inspired by their family's own pixie elf, Fisbee, who appeared each holiday season, Aebersold and Bell decided to share their family tradition with others. They joined forces with Christa Pitts, Bell's twin sister, and the three women started their own publishing company, Creatively Classic Activities and Books. What began with 5,000 copies and 18 retail partners in 2005 is now in well over 10,000 storefronts, and there are no signs of slowing down.
Creatively Classic Activities and Books, or CCA and B, LLC is a private, family-owned publishing company based in metro Atlanta. Launched in 2005, CCA and B is home to the bestselling Christmas tradition, "The Elf on the Shelf." CCA and B has ranked three times on Inc.'s 500/5,000 list and garnered countless regional and national awards and recognitions, including the 2010 and 2009 Book of the Year Award from Creative Child Awards, the Best Vendor Award by Learning Express in 2009 and the Best Toy Award by Learning Express in 2008. In addition, "The Elf on the Shelf" has soared to the top of multiple U.S. bestseller lists year after year, including the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Publisher's Weekly.

Seeing elected officials try to come up with novel and inventive way to address problems is always welcome. It is an approach that should be encouraged. But just because an idea reflects thinking "outside the box" is no guarantee it is workable or sound.
So, it is with Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper's notion of training farmers and ranchers to fight fires on federal lands until government personnel can get to the scene.
There is nothing wrong with training more people in how to address wildfire – although many farmers and ranchers probably already know a thing or two about the subject – and he is probably correct about the importance of the first hour of a fire.
But, the governor's comments came in the context of his questioning whether the state can afford its own fleet of firefighting aircraft; and in the light of that question, they make no sense. Weighing the cost of air tankers is of course legitimate; suggesting that training farmers and ranchers as firefighters is a viable alternative is not.
For one thing, farmers and ranchers are thinly spread. And in the tinder-dry conditions Colorado sometimes experiences, one or two people with spades are simply not comparable to a slurry bomber. Besides, farmers and ranchers typically have enough to do already, particularly when drought and weather have set up prime conditions for wildfire.
Consider another example: It would not be a bad idea if everyone old enough to drive were given first-aid courses. But, it does not follow that we could then dispense with ambulances, paramedics and emergency rooms.
The idea that local landowners would be the first line of defense for federal lands is philosophically problematic as well. It is only human nature for people to become possessive about things that are both familiar and beloved. As such, it is easy for residents of Southwest Colorado to think of the San Juans as "our" mountains. And in many ways that fosters a healthy respect for those peaks.
But that kind of possessive instinct can also lead to the thought that nearby federal lands are in fact ours to do with as we please, and that folks from out of the area are somehow interlopers or trespassers.
Making neighbors responsible for defending those lands from wildfire would only heighten that sense of ownership – and spawn a sense of wariness toward outsiders and strangers.
The fact is federal lands are the property of all Americans – even those who never use them or perhaps never even see them. They are not "ours" just because we might be near them.
Of course, that argues for a greater federal role at least in paying to fight wildfires. After all, federal lands do not belong to the state of Colorado either.
There might also be other approaches. This year's Black Forest Fire was the most destructive in Colorado history. It destroyed almost 500 homes, burned more than 14,000 acres and generated more than 3,000 insurance claims for a total of almost $300 million. In dollar value, it was still not as costly as last year's Waldo Canyon Fire, which cost more than $450 million.
Those costs are sure to be reflected in insurance rates. Sums like that – not to mention the human suffering involved – also suggest increased funding for air tankers; other ways to improve fighting wildfire could be good investments for state residents and perhaps even for insurance companies.
But, as the size and speed of recent fires suggest, we cannot ask Colorado's dwindling number of farmers and ranchers to accept primary responsibility for battling wildfires on public land.

Ray J has been coy about whether his new song, "I Hit It First," is about ex-girlfriend and sex tape co-star, Kim Kardashian. But in the Justin Timberlake tradition of putting ex-girlfriend look-alikes in music videos, Ray J cast a Kardashian doppleganger for "I Hit It First," first obtained by TMZ.
"She might move on to rappers and ballplayers/But we all know I hit it first," the R&B singer croons in the video, which also features his co-star mugging behind a recording screen.
Kardashian became a tabloid staple in February 2007 with the release of a sex tape she made with Ray J in 2003. She sued Vivid Entertainment for releasing the video but ultimately settled with the company for $5 million. "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" premiered later that year.
Ray J took to Twitter to say that people were taking the meaning of the song too seriously. Kim has yet to comment.
Lol have some fun! It's not that serious!! #LIVE!!— RayJ (@RayJ) April 6, 2013

FUMAÇA PRETA's hard hitting, free-wheeling debut LP brings together elements of tropicalia, psychedelic rock, fuzz funk, musique concrete, acid house, radiophonic electronics, hair metal, voodoo and African, Brazilian and Latin rhythms. Beaming down from another planet and sonically stretching across decades, 'FUMAÇA PRETA' will be released on Soundway Records on 29th September.
FUMAÇA PRETA (pronounced Foomassa Pretta – meaning Black Smoke) started as a studio experiment when Alex Figueira, a Portuguese-Venezuelan producer and percussionist, invited some old friends to join him in the tiny analogue studio he built on the back of his house in Amsterdam.
After producing 2 critically acclaimed 45s, Fumaça Preta continued to work in the Barracão Sound Laboratory, swiftly producing their debut album. All musical boundaries collapsed during recording as the band drew upon their vast array of varied influences.
Live, FUMAÇA PRETA becomes a quintet that swerves in and out of endless musical avenues but never loses the rock solid heavy psychedelic groove that drives them.

Review for SLB Radio Productions, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA, USA
I've been a listern of the Saturday Light Brigade for many years. I've also been at some off site broadcasts, such as the Allegheny County Music Festival at Hartwood Acres, the Storywalk, and National Adoption Day the Allegheny County Family Court. I have admired Larry Berger's ability to relate to people of all ages and engage them in conversation and games. Over the years, SLB Radio has expanded its education prgrams by engaging schools, scounting groups, and other organizations. Larry Berger and his team have successfully used radio broadcast to teach young people the value of the medium in having their thoughts and opinions heard. I consider SLB Radio to be one of the special assets of Pittsburgh.

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats and Republicans sparred Wednesday over whether voter ID laws, attempts to purge voter rolls and restricted early voting were legitimate efforts to stop fraud or mainly Republican strategies to hold down Democratic votes.
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist said the state GOP aimed its efforts at Hispanics and African-Americans. They cited as one example the elimination of early voting on the Sunday before the election, when members of those groups historically vote after church.
At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican on the panel, defended Republican efforts to clear the rolls of ineligible voters and was backed by two Republican secretaries of state — Matt Schultz of Iowa and Ken Bennett of Arizona.
"I believe voter ID laws are common sense measures to prevent voter fraud," Grassley said.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., had sharp exchanges with the Republican secretaries of state over their attempts to find ineligible voters.
"Do you have evidence of non-citizens voting in Iowa?" Durbin asked Schultz.
"Since August 2012 six people have been arrested," Schultz said.
Responding to another question from Durbin, Schultz said 1.6 million Iowans voted in the last election.
"There are six cases," Durbin repeated.
Schultz said: "That is what we have so far. We just started the investigation in August."
Under prompting from Grassley, Schultz said he has been trying to get access to a Homeland Security Department database that tracks who is a legal resident eligible to receive government benefits. He said he has been stonewalled by the federal agency.
Bennett said Arizona prosecuted about 15 cases in the past 18 months of people who voted in Arizona and another state in the same election. But he added that counties have removed hundreds of people from voting rolls each month when jury forms found they were not citizens.
Bennett said 2.3 million people cast ballots in Arizona during the last election.Comment on this story
Nina Perales, vice president of litigation for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, complained that across the country "thousands of letters have been sent to persons who have been erroneously identified as non-citizens because of the use of flawed driver's license databases."
Gilda Cobb-Hunter, a Democrat in the South Carolina legislature, said attempts to impose a voter ID law would have suppressed the African-American vote, because "a voter residing in the easternmost part of my district would have to incur the costs of traveling approximately 70 miles roundtrip to the county seat to obtain a photo ID."

Saudi Arabia's powerful interior minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz late Thursday was named crown prince after the death of his brother Sultan. According to AFP, 78 year old Nayef is seen as more conservative than his half brother King Abdullah, 87. Nayef also suffers from health problems.
According to experts on the Saudi monarchy, Nayef was treated abroad in April for cancer. The new crown prince is also known for his close relations with the kingdom's religious establishment and is believed to oppose reforms that could liberalize the Saudi society.
He is known for his suspicion and mistrust of Iran.

Avoiding material hardship is a primary objective of social policy, sometimes made explicit though a constitutional right to a decent standard of living. However, perceptions of "a decent standard of living" vary across countries and over time. Hence no commonly agreed measure of poverty across OECD countries exists. As with income inequality, the starting point for poverty measurement is equivalised household disposable income provided by national consultants (see "Definition and measurement" under EQ1. Income inequality). People are classified as poor when their equivalised household income is less than half of the median prevailing in each country. The use of a relative income-threshold means that richer countries have the higher poverty thresholds. Higher poverty thresholds in richer countries capture the notion that avoiding poverty means an ability to access to the goods and services that are regarded as "customary" in any given county.
Poverty is considered in terms of the poverty rate and poverty gap. The poverty rate is a headcount of how many people fall below the poverty line. The poverty gap measures the extent to which the income of the poor falls below the poverty line. The poverty gap is the mean aggregate income shortfall relative to the poverty line.
The average OECD country poverty rate was 11% in the mid-2000s (Figure EQ2-1). There is considerable diversity in country experiences. Poverty rates are around 15% in Poland, Korea, Ireland and Japan, and 17-18% in Mexico, Turkey, and the United States, while they are below 6% in Denmark, Sweden and the Czech Republic. Different thresholds change poverty rates considerably. Based on a threshold set at 40% of median income, the average OECD poverty rate falls to around 6%. The average poverty rate rises to around 17% for a threshold of 60% of median income.
The OECD average poverty gap was 29% in the mid-2000s (Figure EQ2-1). The poverty gap is largest in Mexico, the United States and Switzerland, with a shortfall around 38%. At the lower end, in Finland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Belgium, it hovers around 20%.
Countries with higher poverty rates tend to have higher poverty gaps. The two measurements have a solid positive correlation of 0.60. Within this broad tendency, there are some notable outliers. Poverty gaps are well above OECD average, at 30% or more, in some of the countries characterised by relatively low poverty rates, such as Iceland and Switzerland in particular. Equally, poverty gaps are below average for some countries like Australia, Canada, Greece and Ireland which have higher than OECD average poverty rates.
Poverty rates generally increased over the period from mid-1980 to mid-2000s (Figure EQ2-2). Rates fell for eight countries and rose for 16 countries. The biggest falls were registered in Belgium and Mexico, whereas the other countries had small poverty declines of around one percentage point or less. The largest rises, between 4 and 5 percentage points, were experienced by Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and New Zealand. There is no clear pattern of difference of poverty rises between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s and the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s. The increase was about 0.6 points in each sub-period.

Figure EQ2-2: Data in the left figure refer to changes in the poverty headcount from around 1990 to mid-1990s for Czech Republic, Hungary and Portugal; no data are available for Australia and Switzerland. Data in the middle figure refer to changes from the mid-1990s to around 2000 for Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Ireland, Portugal and Spain (where 2005 data, based on EU-SILC, are not comparable with those for earlier years); and to changes from 2000 to 2005 for Switzerland. OECD24 refers to the simple average of OECD countries with data spanning the entire period (all countries shown above except Australia and Switzerland).

Directed by Elia Kazan, SUNDOWN BEACH marked the first Broadway venture of the newly-formed Actors' Studio. The cast featured several young actors who went on to notable careers, including Julie Harris, Cloris Leachman, Martin Balsam, Nehemiah Persoff, and Phyllis Thaxter. The play concerned the rehabilitation of World War II fliers suffering from combat trauma. Despite some public support, the play received mostly negative reviews and closed in less than a week. Much of the Bessie Breuer collection consists of letters offering emotional support in the wake of the production's failure. Among the correspondents are writers John Dos Passos and Stark Young, as well as Julie Harris. There are also several typed pages of notes from Breuer to director Elia Kazan, apparently written during the play's rehearsal process; Kazan's replies to Breuer are pencilled in the margins.

Dixie is our resident guard llama. She keeps watch over our four-legged family! She can be a bit of a handful (due to her mischievious nature), but she is a sweety at heart.
SOLDPearl was born Sunday, July 8th, 2007. Pearl is an absolute sweetheart who is also terribly shy. She will let her best friend, Gloria, come up and greet people, but Pearl is always too timid to say hello herself.
(Photos Courtesy of Joyful Llama Ranch)Gloria is a friendly little cria from the Joyful Llama Ranch. She is about the same age as Pearl. Gloria is the daughter of Michele, and will be a future "power packer" llama! Gloria loves neck scratches, and will usually be the first one to come up and say hello to you.
SOLDMichele is Gloria's mother. She doesn't have much pack experience yet, but we are working on her! Michele consistently breeds amazing packers!
WINCHESTER (aka "The Mattress")
Winchester is our perfect packer, and a "black beauty!" This gentle gelding will do whatever you ask, and is a pleasure to pack with! He is the main llama we like to use for our llama hikes.
Punkin was a rescue llama. She is on the small side; shy but sweet. She has a full pack coat and excellent conformation, so we are conditioning her to become a future packer! Punkin is also turning out to be an excellent guard llama!

Marci is one of the llamas we have adopted. She is a fiber llama who hums constantly, and is quite the doof. We love her!
Curious George is Jillian's baby, and one of the sweetest llamas in the world! He is like a 500 lb. lab puppy trapped in the body of a llama. Thus, George has no boundaries, and can be a bit of a handful, especially considering his large size. He means well, and we are working on teaching him proper manners! George's best friend is Judge.
Another wonderful cria from the Joyful Llama Ranch! Judge could be Pearl's twin, both in looks and in personality. He is a very shy llama, but that could also be because George's beyond-outgoing personality tends to overshadow him. Judge is unique in that he has beautiful blue eyes.
More photos and descriptions coming soon!

ELYRIA — Lorain County Commissioner Tom Williams said he felt like he was back in junior high school on Monday after his fellow commissioners refused to name him president of the Board of Commissioners for the second year in a row.
"It's childish," Williams said.
Commissioner Lori Kokoski, who nominated Commissioner Ted Kalo to serve a second year as board president, said she didn't believe Williams had earned the right to lead the board. She said Williams doesn't communicate well with her or Kalo and has repeatedly blindsided them by bringing up issues at meetings without informing them beforehand.
She also said that Williams had stopped being her friend on Facebook.
"I knew I wasn't going to get the position, but that shocked the hell out of me," Williams said after the meeting. "I never thought at a government meeting someone would get upset about Facebook."
Williams said he dropped Kokoski as a Facebook friend in December 2012 after family members of other Democrats began making personal attacks against him on the social media site. Williams declined to publicly identify who had made those comments on his Facebook page.
Kokoski said she doesn't know anything about attacks on Williams, but she said that he has done a lot to undermine his fellow commissioners in recent years, including turning a dispute over Lorain raising sewer rates in Amherst Township into a political issue. Both Kalo and Kokoski are Democrats, while Williams, who is seeking re-election this year, is a Republican.
"I don't think he did anything to earn it," Kokoski said. "He always tries to make us look bad. There's no camaraderie. It's always him against us."
She also pointed to a comment Williams once made about only trusting one person in county government — his former administrative assistant, Neil Lynch — as a reason why he shouldn't lead the board.
"That's like paranoia," she said. "He doesn't trust people in county government. He thinks everything's a big conspiracy."
Up until last year, the commissioners had traditionally rotated the position of president and vice president each year. But when Williams was due to become president in 2013, Kokoski instead nominated Kalo to serve as president, bypassing Williams.
At the time, Kokoski, who was re-elected vice president of the board Monday, acknowledged that she wanted to punish Williams for the divisions she believed he created on the board.
Kokoski said Monday Kalo has done a good job of serving as president, a post that carries with it membership on several boards, including the Lorain County Solid Waste Management District Policy Committee and the county's Data Processing Board.
Williams said he would have liked the chance to serve on some of those boards, particularly the Data Processing Board. In recent years, he has unsuccessfully pushed to create a county-wide information technology department.
Kalo said he didn't see anything all that controversial in Williams being passed over as board president.
"It's no different than any other political setting," he said. "The majority sets the leadership."
Williams also cast blame for being denied the board presidency on Lorain County Democratic Party Chairman Anthony Giardini.
"I understand you take your orders from Giardini," Williams said to Kalo and Kokoski during the meeting. Both denied the accusation.
Giardini, who wasn't at the meeting, said he had nothing to do with who the commissioners named president.
"I have never talked to Ted or Lori about Tom Williams serving as anything on the commission," he said. "Tom Williams doesn't even believe what he said. He said it only because he thinks it will score some points with certain voters to have a bad guy."

The New York Yankees say Yogi Berra has been released from a hospital after tripping and falling in the clubhouse before a spring training game.
The 85-year-old Hall of Famer was taken by ambulance to the hospital as a precaution around noon Thursday. The Yankees say he was released about 4 p.m.
General manager Brian Cashman said Berra caught one of his sneakers on the carpet and fell on his backside.
Cashman, manager Joe Girardi and executive Gene Michael were present as Berra left the Phillies' spring training home, where the Yankees played Philadelphia.
Paramedics in the clubhouse tended to Berra, a former catching great who is an instructor at spring training. Cashman said Berra was in "good spirits" and did not want to go to the hospital. The general manager added that Berra spoke to his wife, Carmen, before leaving.
"We're going to make sure it's going to be fine and is fine," Cashman said.
The Yankees' clubhouse and the nearby area were closed off just before 11:30 a.m. by Yankees' security officials. About 25 minutes later, Berra was placed into an ambulance, which soon left for Morton Plant Hospital.


text: I am having trouble finding out what the differences between the smoke hallow models the 31062e 30166e, 30166e-m, 30167e, 30168e. They seem to be just yearly incremental name changes, but there are tons of 30162e for sale everywhere, very few 30166e for sale(menards has them, is that what the "m" is for?), and the 30168e is on sale at many places like home depot. The 30168e seems the logical choice as it seems to be the newest. But the 30166e-m can be had much cheaper while the 30162e is the same price as the 30168e. What are the differences, are any better then the others? Online they look the same with slightly different handles? Anyone know?

Your staff that delt with me was fantastic from the moment i went to your shop at the NCC centre in Manchester very helpfull and give me the best advice and took time to show me which bike would be best for my needs. also when i bought the bike they priced matched it and when it was reduced again 2 days after i bought it they also gave me a refund to match the new price. WHO ELSE in this time of hardship would do that ? i don't know of any company/shop/dealer who would have done that. NOW THATS WHAT I CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE. (sounds like a cd title) nothing is too much trouble for them and when i told them at the shop i was told help the customer and they might come back. well i will and so will my family from now on

How do I ready ^C from the keyboard??? If this is some daemon program you can't. Perhaps that should be a daemon. Just make console client that will read commands from keyboard and send to your program. In single threaded client you can handle ^C if you like in signal handler without problem. That can be gui program if you like , but console one should be enough. You can implement eg: status, start, pause, quit and so. For now quit will be just fine, later you can add more commands. Make one listener thread in your program for such connections and that's it. Or just use telnet (this isn't safe though), but you can restrict connections.

1. With the new season of Dowton Abbey airing stateside this January, the cast has been making the rounds on their press tour. They stopped at Bravo last night to appear on "What What Happens Live." The whole show was a hoot, but Jezebel has the best bit. They've got a video of Rob James-Collier answering whether his character, Thomas the hot scheming footman, is a top or a bottom. He's vers. Check out the video here.
2. In October "Homeland" star Damian Lewis called Ian McKellen "fruity." McKellen's response: piss off, I'm a legend. Well played Gandalf, well played.
3. So—breaking news here—1. It turns out Madonna was dating some dude and 2. They broke up. Who knew? But actually, I had no idea until just now.
4. S.O.B of the year, George Zimmerman, beat his domestic violence charge. So much for karma, maybe it'll be back in 2014.
5. Louisiana really needs to rethink its policies, because they're making the AIDS epidemic worse. It'd be shocking if it weren't so predictable.
6. Hey guess what. Trailer for the Dr. Who Christmas Special. Boom! You're welcome!
