Portland vs. LA - to whom I love the most?
Today I was asked whether I liked Portland or Los Angeles better. I often write about the pros and cons of each…er, mostly the cons of each, so I thought I'd actually punch out an unbiased, friendly, honest list of each!
So here we go.
Portland vs. Los Angeles Round 1: Pros
1. Family/Friends – Obviously, a large part of my heart belongs to Portland because some of my best friends still reside here. Drew, Jake, Josh, Joey, Kristen, Andrea (just to name a few – sorry if you got left out of the short party list) always have my back. It doesn't matter what time of night it is (Andrea and Kristen) they answer. They realize I don't live there anymore, and I feel like a welcomed visitor and brother when I'm home (Drew, come visit me 'cuz I owe you lunch now), and I can talk about all the old times and career highs I had in sports over a smoke and a brew (Jake – well he doesn't smoke or drink, Joey, Josh). Not to mention Tim and Jan (cough, mom and dad) still live in Gresham, and so that's a plus…and I'm totally underselling how great of a plus it is!
2. Nature – I live about 30 minutes from the foot of Mt. Hood, an hour away
fromthe lovely beaches of Oregon … okay, so that's stretch. They aren't beaches by California definition, but if you love hiking and viewpoints like I do, it's a plus, and I live 20 minutes from the Columbia River Gorge – for you non NW's out there, they filmed Twilight in that area. So that's a pro or con depending if you like the movie I suppose.
3. Breweries – We have the most per capita in the country I believe. Now, mind you, I haven't quite got to experience this yet unless my friends or parents bring home beer and ale, but the food is great in itself, and that leads me to the next point…
4. Downtown Portland – It beats LA any day. LA thinks they are hipster (looking at you Hollywood) but it's not. It's Clean Hip. In LA, everyone has clear skin, straight teeth, tightly trimmed beards, and unwrinkled clothing. In Portland, everyone wears flannel, big, ugly fake glasses, their beards grow wild, and there are enough tattoos and piercings to cover most skin. The atmosphere is amazing. We have Fire on the Mountain, VooDoo Donuts, Pioneer Square, The Pearl District, the Portland Rose Gardens, the Rose Garden, and a city transit system people use. Win.
5. Coffee – One word: Stumptown. The end.
Los Angeles:
1. Biola University – Uh, this one is easy. It's why I live in Los Angeles in the first place. Some of my (new) best friends go to this school. When people ask to describe the environment, I simply say, "Let's just say, some people in my wedding have been replaced – on both sides of the ceremony!" (Well, still no luck finding the wife, so maybe it's not here…I will not get a ring by spring, I will not get a ring by spring…or give one…).
2. Orange County – I love this place. It's full of beautiful, vintage towns (Orange) as well as my favorite beaches (Newport/Balboa, Laguna). The coffee shops are wonderful too, although they aren't quite Portlandesque. Also, there are a lot of cool viewpoints overlooking cities, some cool areas to hike, and it's the OC baby – the malls and restaurants are to die for!
3. Opportunities – I'm a coach at a successful football program in the LA County. I have met Britt Hume, Chris Tomlin, drove a member of Leeland around town, met Ali, a former Bachelorette, sat at a party with a film crew that handled Keith Urban's new music video, as well as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I'm meeting with Jayme Dee's manager, and the list goes on an on. I also temporarily interned at a major (although creepy) PR firm in Westwood, and I see (periodically) semi-famous stars. Except one time I ordered coffee with Chris Pine from Star Trek. Amazing.
4. Disneyland – I've been nearly or over 100 times. Uh, the magic is still magical. And now I know the trade secrets. I'm a seasoned pro…except the Beckers still one up me every time.
5. Traveling – Whether it was opportunity or simply location, I've had some awesome chances to see parts of the world I never would have though of before, thanks to the Biola Network – the unofficial name for your Biola friends you either know, barely know, or heard of – who live throughout the country. I've seen San Fran, the Grand Canyon, New York City, San Diego, and a lot more – thanks to the wonderful people of God's church who opened their doors for me. Amazing.
Round 1 Result: Tie.
Round 2: Cons!
1. Gresham, Ore. It sucks. From Urban Dictionary: Portlandand in regards to the Max transit system: "MAX= lightrail train, NEVER ride it in Gresham, you will be raped."
2. Townies. People that grow up in Oregon, never move, drive big lifted trucks or beat up cars from the early 90s, know nothing outside of Oregon hick life, chew tobacco and still go to Mt. Hood Community College.
3. Small Town Feel – Where I'm from, they like to think they're a small town. Everyone pretends to know everyone's business, and if they don't, they make it up. It's especially brutal in the churches around where I'm from. Don't get me wrong; there are some GREAT churches in Portland too. But…
4. Slow Drivers. Nothing irks me more than drivers who go 54 in a 60. Dude, getover. Pull over. Jump off the bridge. You're causing me an ulcer and everyone else around you.
5. Obesity – Face it Oregon, for every organic Whole Foods health nut, there is 5 overweight people in the boondocks. I hate how I get in trouble for saying this. Obesity is something that to some degree can be controlled. GET HELP! Stop ordering the Deep Fried special at KFC and stop using your motorized scooter at Albertsons. You're 35. The 90 year old is walking faster than the machine can move with you on it. Walk some more, eat healthy, and get help.
Los Angeles:
1. Fake Plastic. Dear women of Los Angeles please don't believe the "BiggerBreasts" billboard or the "Get Thin Now" ads – we're already skinny enough and full of enough plastic down here as it is. You're beautiful … if you just subtract the 5 layers of extra makeup and Botox. Thank you!
2. Rudeness: I've picked up the LA attitude, so I must apologize, it is an issue. But, you get use to it. If you don't move within .001 seconds of a light turning green, you get honked at. If you don't know what you're going to order before you get in the 10-minute Starbucks line, you get yelled at. If you say hi to those around you while walking around, you get shot. Well, maybe not…kinda sorta.
3. Lack of Clothing: To all women and girls. Please cover up your breasts and buttocks. Thank you.
4. Racial Diversity and lack of acceptance: Um, just because someone is black, doesn't mean they aren't good people. Just because someone is Mexican, doesn't mean he doesn't know English and is lazy. Just because someone is Asian, doesn't mean they can't drive and only work at donut shops (okay, most of the time it doesn't), and just because someone is old doesn't mean you need to talk to them as if they are already dead. They can probably sort of hear you…maybe.
5. Traffic. UGH. And yes, this is real, on a daily basis.
Round Two Results: Portland for the win.
Fun facts:
Oregon has about 4 million people as their population.
LA COUNTY has about 12 million.
Los Angeles and Southern California has teams that actually win. Portland doesn't. We also have at least 7 professional sporting teams, well, that's if you include the Clippers. Portland has 2 now, and no, the Winterhawks don't county.
LA has a lot more colleges, therefore, more college aged people, therefore more hip fun things to do.
Portland has a safe city you can walk in.
Overall win…Portland for the nostalgia, Los Angeles for the future…and thank God He has an ordained plan.

Hôtel plus que miteux!!! Rideau de Douche moisi, pas d'eau chaude, chambre non fumeur et impression d'être dans un paquet de clope froide. Et serviette mise a disposition pas propre. A fuire de toute urgence.Avis certifié Hotels.com

Suffisant pour les petits budgets voulant realiser une etape entre los angeles et san francisco , tres facile d acces sur une route agreableAvis certifié Hotels.com
"This motel room was clean, had the basic amenities"
This motel was chosen because of its low price and the distance between my round trip destinations. We did not care about any extras, just a place to sleep on the way. The bed was soft, so I had a sore hip for a while after getting up for the day.Avis certifié Expedia
"a nice hotel in a nice suburb"
I really like this city and this simple nice Hotel. Room is clean and air conditioning is not so noisy and free Wi-Fi. It's just quiet and I felt so relax. I love it. They did not provide enough soap for 2 nights stay, but I can forgive this mistake because I please with many things else. I rate this hotel 4 stars over 2 stars popularity. May be my […] character fit in this farmer like city. May be I am lucky have a nice clean room without any broken thing. It was not much visitors but I look out the window at night, there were enough lights in parking lot; I felt safe! Staff did not speak English as the first language but provide just enough information I need and a smile that is just fine. If in my future come back this hotel and I have a similar this time experience. I will not hold back to give them 5 stars for excellence. The only thing is the location in middle of nowhere. I do not have much chances to visit again and again. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Simple but enjoyable accomodations"
The manager made our stay. We accidentally booked two rooms and she helped us solve the problem. She gave us some grapes from her little vineyard and brought things we needed to our room. This place is small and older, but the rooms are adequate, clean, and the price is fair. the bed was comfortable and the refrigerator was quiet. There was no coffee […] maker, so we brought our own. The pillows weren't as fluffly as I like. There were only two, but we got more on request. there is no ice machine but the manager said she would bring some to our room if we needed some. There was no clock. It was quiet and just a few blocks from the freeway. this is an OK place to spend one night on the way from here to there. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Mildew on the Ceiling"
What a dump! There was mildew on the ceilings and the sink had a slow drain.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"What you would expect"
Nothing fancy about this place but it got the job done. I feel like i got what i paid for. Would stay there again if I needed a place in the area.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"What a dump"
Filthy. No shampoo, no coffee, no hangers, no remote control and the one unwrapped plastic cup was in the sink when I arrived.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Falsely accussed!"
Everything was well until i got a call from the lady in charge of the hotel after we had left. Ridicously, she was accussing us of stealing her iron and leaving another one that didn't work in place of hers. First she said her iron was missing, then she said we switched her iron. Places like this should not be members of expedia.com! Their cleanliness […] was ok, but one of the beds blocked the bathroom door, space was very tight. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"One time was enough"
Not a very well keep up place.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"ok in a pinch"
This was a last hours stay with Salinas Rodeo crowd taking most of the rooms nearby. There was nowhere to sit outside and the bath floor and walls were not clean.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"below avrage"
ok room not verey cleanAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Short Stay in Greenfield"
It was quiet and clean. The microwave and refrigerator worked. The heater was not the best.Avis certifié Expedia
"2 nites of hell"
The service we received when we checked in was good. Then it all went down hill from there. The room had some kind of odor, the bathroom door would stick, the microwave was very dirty inside and smelled and there was no tray inside to warm the food up. There were families living there that were drinking in the corner rooms. One of the families was so […] drunk they got into a fight and you could hear it all in the next room (thin walls). The floor had hair from previous clients. This location was not close to where i had requested to begin with. Not happy with this hotel and with the service I received. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"not the best"
We were desperate for a place to stay the night and this place was close and cheap. There were a couple of concerns with our rooms, mainly a hole in the wall and an exposed light socket. there was also no toilet paper when we arrived. People arrived around 1 am and were loud, the walls were very thin and kept us awake most of the night. An okay location […] if you are tired of driving or running low on cash, but I would say it is worth the extra time and money to find a better one. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Budget Inn"
ok for 1 night, I would NOT stay longer than that. Good for someone alone & just traveling, would NOT have my family stay there.Avis certifié Expedia
+ NOTHING LIKE ADVERTISED, NOR CLOSE TO PHOTO ON-LINE. RUNDOWN. WALL PLUGS FALLING APART AND TAPED TO WALLS.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Good customer service"
It's OK considering the rural location, and the price was right, nice and quiet. Good hot water, the bed was comfortable. However, I miss not having the service of face tissue, and/or face towel in the bathroom. But customer service was great.Avis certifié Expedia

In 2005 the IBE, in conjunction with the Council for Industry in Higher Education, published Ethics Matters: Managing Ethical Issues in Higher Education.

Dilemmas and case studies
For short video clips of ethical dilemmas click here>>
Below are some case studies developed by the IBE that explore potential business ethics issues in the workplace. These can be used for teaching purposes, with acknowledgement of the Institute. You may also be interested in the Good Practice Guide: Developing and Using Business Ethics Scenarios, which contains over 15 scenarios.
(Im)moral management addresses whistleblowing issues and stages of moral development such as Kohlbergs theory
Criminal judgement addresses issues of employee criminal records, honesty and privacy
Whose interests? addresses issues of conflicts of interest, confidentiality and privileged information
Being old school addresses issues of diversity, discrimination, ethnic minorities in the police force
An offer you cant refuse? addresses issues of industrial espionage, unfair competition, and duty of confidentiality
The honesty challenge addresses issues of leadership, integrity and organisational values
5. IBE Student Essay Competition
As the current recession and banking scandals are blamed on unethical behaviour, it is more important than ever that our business leaders of tomorrow are encouraged to think about the application of ethical values to business behaviour.
However, only 20% of HR professionals believe that MBA candidates are adequately knowledgeable about business ethics. An IBE survey of Human Resource professionals across 40 large UK companies found that 80% felt business ethics should be taught as a compulsory module. The majority of business studies courses have ethics as an elective module, if it is taught at all.
The IBE has run a postgraduate and undergraduate competition for student essays on business ethics since 2003 to encourage ethical sensitivity and new approaches to corporate responsibility from the next generation of business leaders.
Find out more about the Student Essay Competition here>>
From 2010 until the 2012 Olympics, the IBE promoted a new student essay award in partnership with

An Old Binding
This log cabin made in 1993 was machine quilted, and I used my old preferred binding method - double-folding the backing onto the front of the quilt and sewing.

This is really a draft, but I somehow decided to post it. Here's a simple linked list in PHP, where only the add() method is slightly different. When you have an item to add it's placed on the "right" place – the result is a sorted list.
Few notes before the code! This list is designed for integers, but I plan to "extend" it somehow and it can be improved a lot. In my future posts I'll post something more about the complexity of the algorithm and an analysis of it.
class Node { public $data; public $next; public $prev; public function __construct($data, $prev, $next) { $this->data = $data; $this->prev = $prev; $this->next = $next; } } class LinkedList { protected $front = null; public function add($data) { if (!$this->front) { $node = new Node($data, null, null); $this->front = &$node; } else { if ($data < $this->front->data) { $node = new Node($data, null, $this->front); $this->front = $node; return; } $current = $this->front; while ($current) { if ($current->data < $data && isset($current->next) && $current->next->data > $data) { $node = new Node($data, $current, $current->next); $current->next = $node; } if ($current->data < $data && !isset($current->next)) { $node = new Node($data, $current, $current->next); $current->next = $node; } $current = $current->next; } } } public function printl() { $current = &$this->front; while($current) { echo $current->data, '<br />'; $current = $current->next; } } } $list = new LinkedList(); $list->add(13); $list->add(14); $list->add(15); $list->add(11); $list->add(12); $list->add(17); $list->add(10); $list->add(16); $list->printl(); |

Last time I checked, my son is a baby, not a motorcycle riding, hell raising, rock star who loves monsters.
PLanning on making our own, we bought the baby bullet and I'll be honest, I just loved the little smiles and the date dial jars. Hopefully it'll work out. It came with a recipe book and shopping guide, as well. We'll give it a shot.

I paint to explore personality and mood.
A crinkled up nose or fit of joyous laughter; the slicing of a single telephone wire through vast expanse of sky; the stripping away of extraneous matter to get at the heart of a person or thing - these are what inspire me to paint.
My work illuminates the mundane by exaggerating the awkward, calm, or introspective. By reconstructing and preserving an otherwise overlooked or forgotten moment, my painting process becomes an exploration of the 'personality' of that moment; and encourages the viewer to reconsider and reevaluate the ordinary interludes that make everyday life extraordinary.
Commission inquiries welcomed.

In 2011 Fox News' Dr. Keith Ablow brought a toxic mix of homophobia and pseudoscientific anti-LGBT talking points to new lows. The "Fox News Medical A-Team" member has been a prolific source of anti-LGBT misinformation, disguising his animosity toward gay, lesbian and transgender people as expert commentary on human sexuality. His bigoted rants against J.

6 January 2012 Second Term Oath of Office Ceremony Remarks Milwaukee Police Chief Edward A. Flynn
Mayor Barrett, Council President Hines, Executive Director Tobin: Thank you for your supportive words. Thank you, members of the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission for the renewed support and confidence you have expressed in me by appointing me to a second term. I said it four years ago and I repeat today, I will not let you down.
Today, just a few miles away from where we stand, Officer Frank Vrtochnick lies in a hospital bed recovering from grievous injuries he received on Christmas when his squad was struck by a reckless driver. Mercifully, he is out of intensive care but his wounds will take time to heal. I thank him for his service and thank his parents, Aggie and Frank, who are with us here today, for raising such a fine son.
Twice a year, the Milwaukee Police Department recognizes the courage of its officers. It has been my privilege to award to our brave men and women seven Medals of Honor, 12 Purple Valors for wounds received in action, twelve Combat Valor Awards, 31 Rescue Valor Awards, 42 Life Saving Awards and literally hundreds of other awards for Distinguished Police Service, Excellence in Police Service and Meritorious Service. Because of them, because of their courage and competence, their integrity and leadership, their respect and restraint the City of Milwaukee is a demonstrably safer place today than it was four years ago. You won't see their pictures on the front page of the newspaper, you won't see a multi-part series describing their exploits. But you will see them on the streets of your neighborhood protecting you every single day. I am proud of them. Every family member, every neighbor, every resident of this city is proud of them. And should be!
Four years ago, standing before you in these chambers, I made bold promises. I promised we would reduce the levels of crime, fear and disorder in the city. I promised that we would be community-based, problem-oriented and data-driven. I made a series of commitments to the commanders, the supervisors, and the officers of the Milwaukee Police Department and I set out expectations. I also promised the community an open, accountable, accessible police department responsive to its concerns.
Why was I so confident? Because I know and respect cops. The Milwaukee Police Department had been through some hard times. It had taken hits. There appeared to be some estrangement between it and some of its constituencies. Violent crime was a nagging problem. Technology was either obsolescent or awaiting implementation. But I knew I could count on the cops. I could count on their fundamental sense of duty, their ideals. I knew also that within the ranks of the department were people waiting for the chance to show what they could do, waiting for the opportunity to put the agency they had devoted their lives to on the path to greatness.
I said we were going to get to work. And we did. The men and women of your police department stepped up, and they stepped it up. Dramatic changes occurred in a dramatically short period of time. And dramatic results have been achieved.
Every single year, there has been a reduction in overall crime. For twenty years, the average number of murdered Milwaukeeans was 127. In the past four years, that average has been reduced to 81. The Milwaukee Police Department, working with its community partners, has reduced the number of property and violent crime victims in this city by 17, 700 in just four years.
This has not been an accident. A department full of hard-working, talented people committed to their community has made it happen.
Four years ago I said that the measure of our success would be results, not just activity. We've made deliberate choices. The public spaces had been abandoned to criminals. The only way to take them back was to create time for officers to be proactive, not just reactive. Rapid response to non-emergency calls would have to be secondary to saving lives, preventing crime and the reclaiming of public space. Foot patrols dramatically increased. Bicycle patrols were doubled. Squads did park and walks. Roll calls in the street were conducted. Officers now had time to stop suspicious vehicles and confront suspicious pedestrians. Has there been a slight increase in average response time? Yes. In the meantime, motor vehicle stops increased by 243%, pedestrian stops increased by 324%. I believe it's reasonable to assert that has something to do with saved lives and reduced crime.
But for officers to be proactive, they had to have accurate and timely information. They needed the technological tools to maximize their effectiveness. So the computer information system, with the help of an engaged private sector, was completely overhauled. As a result, for the first time in its history, MPD had access to up to the minute crime data on a daily basis. Every day, crime analysis meetings take place discussing patterns and trends of crime and adjusting deployments. Squads are equipped with Rapid ID units which allow them to verify the identity of suspects in the field. There are five times as many in-squad videos as there had been. Special vehicles have been assigned to the districts equipped with technology that allows them to scan hundreds of license plates checking for warrants and recovering stolen cars. Finally, an obsolete radio system has been replaced by one that is state of the art. Our implementation challenges have been well documented. But we stand as the first city in the nation to have implemented such a system while at the same time making sure that every officer in a field assignment has their own, personal hand held radio. Another first for the department.
I promised the community we would orient ourselves to their needs. We redrew the police district boundaries to align more specifically with neighborhood boundaries. We reorganized the Criminal Investigations Bureau along geographic lines, as well, to reinforce our community policing efforts. An emphasis on neighborhoods, coupled with the production of more useful analytical data, has enabled us to focus on the 10% of offenders who commit 50% of crimes and the 10% of locations that generate 60% of our crime numbers using not only district resources but the drive and commitment of our Neighborhood Task Force. The NTF consists of what used to be independent specialty units, productive but self-deployed. Now, driven by data, they are a core component of neighborhood safety and a mobile tactical resource of great value to our strategic vision.
While significant strategic and technological change was introduced and implemented so too was organizational change. We have committed ourselves to the notion that every officer is and must be a leader. The principal of dispersed leadership requires every officer to accept responsibility, not only for their own actions, but for those of their peers. It requires all of us to recognize we are responsible for our own morale and for the reputation of our police department. The introduction of the Leadership in Police Organization model has been a driver of internal cultural change. Coupled with policy modifications and the introduction of a Code of Conduct based on our core values, we have seen improvements in the professional behavior of our officers. Citizen complaints, despite a vast increase in proactive police activity, are down nearly 40%. Use of force incidents have been reduced by 9% and vehicle pursuits are down 66% All are tributes to the discipline and restraint of our officers, as well as showing the high degree of community support that exists for their efforts.
When I took command of this agency I not only knew that I could count on the cops I also knew I needed to depend on the supervisory and command officers. I relied on my experience that within every department there are those commanders waiting to be given the opportunity to get it right. So from the very beginning, I didn't just empower them in some theoretical sense. I gave the specific strategic direction and told them to develop the tactics. They would implement the vision with the tools at their disposal. Working hard and late into many nights, it was those officers in the command ranks who operationalized and legitimized our strategy. Our success is in no small sense a tribute to their tenacity and sincerity of purpose.
The days of Lone Ranger policing are long past. No police department can be effective for long with viable and active community and government partners. Our officers have forged productive collaborations with numerous community-based organizations. We believe the Community Prosecution partnership we have formed with the Milwaukee County District Attorney and the problem-solving partnership we have formed with the Milwaukee Department of Neighborhood Services Special Enforcement section are national models for the abatement of community nuisances and long-terms issues. The Milwaukee Police Department has achieved national prominence in its profession in a short time.
We are part of a project with the Urban Institute, studying how to employ field stops in a way that doesn't endanger community support. John Jay College of Criminal Justice is working with us on an offender re-entry project. Harvard's Kennedy School of Government has published a study referencing our reorganization of the detective bureau in support of community policing. Yale University Law School, funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance is studying how the police department is building community trust in order to co-produce neighborhood safety. Finally, both the Police Executive Research Forum and the International Association of Chiefs of Police are using the MPD as research partners in a number of grant applications they are seeking.
I promised much four years ago. But the men and women of this police department delivered that which was promised and much more. Their, and your police department is more effective, has more community support, is more technologically advanced, more transparent, more engaged with its neighborhoods, more restrained in the use of force and the subject of less complaint than at any time in recent history. Be proud of your sons and daughters. They deserve no less.
The MPD vision statement is "a Milwaukee where all can live safely and without fear, protected by a police department with the highest ethical and professional standards." Our mission is "in partnership with the community we will create and maintain neighborhoods capable of civic life." The control of crime, fear and disorder are but means to this vital end.
We know we're not done. We'll never be done. But we will never stop improving. We will never stop trying. We are the police and this city depends upon us. There's still too much crime. There are still too many victims. In too many neighborhoods, fear still reigns. But we are here for you.
Milwaukee faces challenges. We Milwaukeeans, will face them together. We can not count on federal support. We can't count on state support. We can't count on anyone but each other. I'm grateful for the financial support shown by Mayor Barrett and the Common Council. Because of their efforts, MPD has an academy class while other similar cites around the country are laying off officers. I pledge to you that we will deliver you results, and be prudent stewards of the public trust and public funds.
To the residents of Milwaukee, I pledge the department to continued partnership. Where there is crime, we will be there for you. Where there is fear, we will be there with you. Where disorder threatens, we will be there with you. We will never abandon you. Every man and woman in this department pledges to put themselves in harms way on your behalf.
Much has been done. Much more needs to be done. And we're going to get it done. Together. Now, let's get back to work!

THURSDAY, May 17 (HealthDay News) -- Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) feeding tubes significantly increase the risk of new pressure ulcers and do not promote the healing of existing pressure ulcers in nursing home residents with advanced cognitive impairment, according to a study published in the May 14 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
To investigate whether PEG tubes prevent or help heal pressure ulcers, Joan M. Teno, M.D., of the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Providence, R.I., and colleagues conducted a propensity-matched cohort study involving nursing home residents with advanced cognitive impairment. The Minimum Data Set was examined to see whether 1,124 residents without a pressure ulcer, with PEG insertion, developed a stage 2 or higher ulcer; and to investigate the improvement of pressure ulcers in 461 residents with a pressure ulcer. Each resident with a feeding tube was matched to three without a PEG tube.
The researchers found that hospitalized nursing home residents with a PEG feeding tube were 2.27 times more likely to develop a new stage 2 or higher pressure ulcer, after adjustment for risk factors. The likelihood of having an existing pressure ulcer heal was significantly lower for those with a PEG tube inserted (odds ratio, 0.70).
"Feeding tubes are not associated with prevention or improved healing of a pressure ulcer," the authors write. "Rather, our findings suggest that the use of PEG tube is associated with increased risk of pressure ulcers among nursing home residents with advanced cognitive impairment."

Jean-Eric Vergne understands Red Bull's decision to promote his Toro Rosso teammate Daniel Ricciardo to its A-team for 2014 rather than him.
The Frenchman is adamant he has demonstrated the potential to be a Red Bull driver, even though he accepts Ricciardo was stronger than him in certain areas. He admitted he has known for some time that he would "probably not get a seat" and is set for a third season with Toro Rosso next year.
"I understand," he said when asked if he accepted Red Bull's decision. "He [Ricciardo] is better than me on certain aspects, but I think I'm better than him in certain aspects as well.
"Right now, it's a bit disappointing but who knows? In the future, maybe it will be a good thing to stay at Toro Rosso and get one more year to learn everything and get more experience."
Vergne insists he does not regard 2014 as an opportunity to prove Red Bull wrong.
"I don't need to prove that I can be in the seat, when you look at Daniel's results and mine they are really similar," he said. "I ended up with more points last year and I have more points than him right now.
"It does not mean I am a better driver and he has done some things better than me but he has more experience. Looking at his performance and mine, I think I could get the seat as well."
Despite his disappointment, Vergne stressed that he does not envy Ricciardo his opportunity. Instead, he is focusing on the fact that Red Bull opted to promote one of its junior drivers as encouragement for the future.
"Of course I'm not jealous, I am really happy for him. Red Bull took the right decision to take a Red Bull driver next year," he said. "[For me] it's really about having the best season possible with Toro Rosso."

I've got Fallout 3 GOTY on my PS3, backed up via Backup Manager, and when I launch it I find it takes a good few minutes to load a saved game. If I load the game from disc, it takes only a few seconds. I've switched from PS Groove 1.1 to Hermes V3 and back and it makes no difference. It's mentioned that loading times are longer on Fallout 3 on the compatibility list so I know it's not my console. I assume they're talking about saved game loading times as actual data loading times seem to be the same. But does anyone know of a fix for this? Or if it's likely to be fixable by a groove upgrade? It's kind of annoying as I play Fallout 3 to death. And presumably since they use the same engine, this may affect Fallout New Vegas.
I've also done the usual thing of deleting all non-backup Fallout 3 content on the drive and starting again, no joy.

Backyard Monsters Hints for FaceBook
Check out our guide to the popular Facebook game, Backyard Monsters.
Click here to go to our guide
Always start the game by doing the quests (except 'monsters' quests) as this will give you the resources that you need in the early stages of the game.
Bases cannot be completely destroyed and can always be repaired. Walls and traps have to be rebuilt. Monsters and resources are the only things you lose in the housing.
Truces are a great way to get our of a difficult combat situation, or to buy yourself time to recover between attacks.
For a truce to be effective, both players have to accept it. You can request a truce by clicking on the map room and finding the player you are in conflict with. Should they reject your offer, you have to wait 2 days before trying again. If they accept, it will last for 14 days.
When starting a new game, you are automatically protected from attacks by other players for 14 days - effectively a truce situation. Should you attack someone yourself, this will of course void the truce.
Finally, if your base is getting pummeled, or you are being constantly attacked, the game will often instate a period of protection to give you some respite.
To get shiny in Backyard Monsters, you can always just purchase them (with real money). Another way is to complete the offers that appear in game under 'get more shiny', such as filling in surveys or downloading certain things.
Another popular way to get shiny is to pick mushrooms - you usually get a proportion of these for every bunch picked.
If you throw Project X with the 10M Putty Rage from your catapult it will do the most damage. If you use the Monster Lab, Project X can be given the ability to release acid when it is killed damaging ALL the buildings around it.
Pick mushrooms if you want more shiny, don't worry about running out of mushrooms as they grow back every day.
How to get a lot of shiny
1) go to backyard monsters
2)then find mushroom
3)thenpick it (make sure it has shiny)
4)when you see the word your worker stuck gold
5)lastly reload and you will see the mushroom you pick when you pick it the shiny is still there
Use the hatcheries to create the monsters that are required to evolve your champion for the next 6 stages.
Pick mushrooms if you want more shiny, don't worry about running out of mushrooms as they grow back every day.

Very nice indeed! I've only tried it with some relatively simple files, but it seems to work a treat. Questions : Is the source to gzz.vob.*; available? (scratch that question if it's in the CVS - I've not yet checked) What's with the Python material? Are you just using this for debugging? I've done a basic general purpose command window (Swing) using Jython which may be useful - it's already usable but a bit buggy (I want to be able to create nodes etc in Ideagraph by typing in commands, or to be able to run external py scripts). Is the license for the whole of the gzz material going to be LGPL? (I though I saw a ref to regular GPL somewhere, perhaps I'm confused).

Comments about Valley Yarns 414 Valley Cowl:
It was fun to make this. I love the design and how versatile it is.
The gauge and sizing suggested for the yarn I used wasn't correct. 45" to begin with is WAY TOO SMALL. I went with the suggested hook size and follow the stitch count(168) even though the length was close to 65", and it came out exactly as the picture. I'm very happy with the result.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Valley Yarns 414 Valley Cowl:
I crocheted this as a gift. I loved that it gave several different yarn options and I found one in the list that worked best for my purposes. I found the sizing suggested seemed on the small side but it was fairly easy to increase the sizing since tips for that were provided.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Two-Year College Libraries Movie Reviews
Now,I've been a regular listener to the "Festival of nine lessons and carols" for many years now,and it's been my wont to spend Christmas Day wandering the snowy hills and glens near my home.Come 3pm I make quite sure to tune my portable radio (a very good Roberts "R972" if you are in the market for excellent broadcast sound on the move !) into the BBC to catch the solo (must surely rank as one of the most nerve-wracking program openings of all time !) treble's first ethereal annunciation of "Once in royal David's city".It always gives me Goosebumps and strangely this lone voice from one of England's greatest Christian chapels is quite simply the catalyst "sine qua non" that makes you (wherever in the world you may be ) feel that Christmas Day is truly upon you,and it's impossible to envisage a future festive season from which this absolute institution will be absent.
Until now,I've just had to use my imagination to actually visualise the service as it takes place in the incomparably beautiful King's College Chapel,Cambridge.Therefore,what an absolute treat to sit back and watch this beautifully presented disc,and finally see the choir and clergy stand ready for the procession in front of the glorious painting,"Adoration of the Magi" by Rubens.It's almost worth while pressing "pause" right there and then and just admiring that gorgeous still image for about half an hour or so ! In fact,you might just wear out that pause button because there is a host of sumptuous images to come and despite the fairly restricted camera angles available due to the unusually long oblong shape of the chapel,we get some stunning shots of the windows and plenty of that near-miraculous "fan-vaulted" roof that apart from defying gravity almost defies belief that it was actually built (in 3 short years from 1512-15) by human hands.
Forgive me if I leave the technical and scholarly analysis of the actual singing (glorious,in my humble opinion)to other reviewers with rather more of a musical education than I've experienced,and just tell you that I found the whole viewing of this year 2000 service a most moving and marvellous experience,despite the fact that I was watching it almost exactly three months out of season.Amongst several highlights for me was the lovely rendition of "In the bleak mid-winter".Naturally it's the Rossetti poem we all know and love,but perhaps the arrangement by Harold Darke (the choir's conductor during the war years) is not the usual one that you,or I are most familiar with.Nevertheless,it's quite gorgeous and I really thought the choir sung as a completely integrated body in this particular carol.Also particularly affecting was the touching rendition of the anonymous (set to music by B.Chilcott) "Shepherd's Carol".There is that lovely line in the second verse "Silence more lovely than music" ,which as a sentiment is completely disproved by the beautifully floated delivery from our talented choristers !
There is a menu option that allows you to cut out all the readings and spoken parts and just listen to the music in sequence,but useful as this is,I think it's a shame to so drastically edit the service as broadcast,and besides the delivery of the various college and city representatives are attractively earnest and sincere.One big surprise was the appearance of the renowned singer Robert Tear (himself a former choral scholar at King's and now Honorary Fellow) who read (most effectively) a poem by William Drummond.
The two superb bonus items on this DVD are the fascinating "time-capsule", first ever TV broadcast of the service from 1954 when Boris Ord was Director of music.The sound is understandably a bit "care-worn" but when the quality of performance is as good as this it doesn't really matter,and your ears soon adjust to the audio soundworld of nearly half a century ago.Amazing to see the iron control that Ord has over the choir and this seems to be a hypnotic rather than physical influence on his part.
The second bonus is a most civilised and charmingly courteous conversation between the three most recent Directors of Music that takes place in the studious and scholarly atmosphere of a room overlooking the college quad.The legendary Sir David Willcocks and the only slightly less legendary Sir Philip Ledger and Stephen Cleobury (Director of the 2000 service) gently reminisce about their respective periods in charge of the choir.I found it fascinating to listen in on their shared anecdotes and it really gave me some good insights on the pleasures,pitfalls and profound pride that is involved in running such a national choral treasure.
I can wholeheartedly recommend and endorse this Christmas "cracker" of a DVD to you,and quite honestly,if it has the effect of putting me in the festive mood on September the 25th;then just imagine what it will do for you on the day itself !
I normally wouldn't even write a review. Someone has done a fine job of that but I noticed two things - the gentleman didn't have surround sound and also was involved in the broadcast of this in some way in the past. So, I thought that some people might be hesitant to purchase based on those issues.
Please, if you want to hear something glorious do yourself a favor and purchase this DVD! Somehow they not only captured the terrific voices, the grand organ but they also were able to intelligently capture the reverberations off of the stone walls. You will believe that you have a ticket to the actual performance.
Caveats: The audio options are DTS 5.1 recording and 2.0 PCM Stereo. The 2.0 stereo is quite good but the DTS option is the only way to fly. So if you don't have DTS decoding you might want to pass - until you get it.
(...) Naxos of America is distributing this in the U.S. (originally a BBC/Opus Arte production). (...) This is a pity as the time to market this title was two months ago. I've also seen this listed as Chorus from King's (1954). This does this DVD a disservice as it would appear to be just some old recording made into a DVD. (...)
The choir is best known for its annual radio broadcast of "A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols" which began in 1929 and has been heard on public radio stations in the USA since 1979.
Quite frequently, BBC Television have recorded a holiday program which is like Nine Lessons and Carols but is not "it." "It" is the live radio broadcast. Full stop. This recording is of the television program.
The 1954 recording will be of interest to King's fanatics and choral directors who will enjoy the leisurely tempi of Boris Ord, the director of music in that day. And the conversation will be of interest mainly to the hardiest fans of King's and its choir and musical leadership.
The glory of this DVD is the carol service with readings from the recorded-for-television program in 2000 which is given a sumptuous visual treatment with audio to match, and a wide ranging array of Christmas music from the very well known to the ought-to-be-very well known.
I have never seen the chapel and choir shown as magnificently as it is here. This DVD is the very closest thing to being in the chapel as the afternoon light fades to blackness, and this choir of sixteen boys and fourteen men, carries your spirit into places you can only imagine.
(I produced the original Christmas Eve radio broadcast in the USA over two decades ago, so I have been to the chapel and heard the choir often over the last twenty-five years. This is a "must have" recording, and if you don't have a DVD player, then this recording alone should be the strongest encouragement to do so.)
Surround sound is included, and based on a couple of hearings, I guess I'm going to have to invest in that new technology to hear the remarkable acoustic of King's Chapel even more wonderfully than it already is in stereo.
[Update as of 2/26/02: A "[...] colleague" encouraged me to upgrade to surround sound, and needing no more excuse than that, I have, and can report that the result produces in me the same emotional effect that being in the chapel for Evensong does. It just takes my breath away.]
A remarkable accomplishment in terms of program, images, and sound. In a word, "awesome," but in the original sense of that word.
for any parent and/or student plannning to attend college. This could literally save you thousands!
And what happens after high school? Well, you start making decisions more-or-less on your own that will affect the entire future course of your life. It's scary and one is tempted to duck out... but the decisions have to be made.
What college? What major? College at all? Go to a college that looks good on a resume, or one that actually fits your own needs or desires? And many others.
Daria is stuck choosing between two schools -- the prestigious Ivy League-ish school that boyfriend Tom's family almost owns and which he will certainly be attending, and which Tom will attend, or the rather less prestigious school that her parents attended.
Jane is panicking; she had intended to attend Boston Fin Arts College, but now she's beginning to have second thoughts; essentially, beginning to doubt whether she's good enough.
And so on.
For what is apparently the last hurrah of the series, we see the characters all being gloriously themselves; one of the first things Daria says as she and Jane share a pizza is "I wanted some sisterhood, just so long as it didn't involve my actual sister."
Daria's acceptance speech as she receives a surprise award at graduation is a masterpiece of anome and sardonicism, summing up neatly some of the core concepts of the series.
Daria, as a character, resonates deeply with many viewers, of course -- all too many of us barely survived high school intact (sometimes even in physical terms), and the loner who ignores or even actively disdains the values and enthusiasms of the majority and suffers for it is a classic archetype (or stereotype, depending on what you think of the character).
Daria, of course, is the uninvolved sardonic onlooker carried to the extreme -- so far, sometimes, that she herself becomes the butt of the joke.
This is probably not the place to begin with Daria; too many of the situations in this film depend on knowledge of the characters and of what has gone before -- but for the experienced Daria viewer, or for the newbie willing to take certain things as givens, it's a fitting farewell to the characters and milieu of the series.
(A follow-on of Daria and Company in college/later life might be fun. Or, of course, it might be a disaster...)
Included are two episodes of the MTV series, "Lucky Strike", in which the teachers go on strike and Daria winds up substitute teaching, and "Boxing Daria", which was the final episode of the last season on MTV, and which examines Daria's relations with her parents and looks back to her childhood to give us a slightly different take on the givens of the sereis.
((Also included is an easter egg featuring an early Daria appearance on "Beavis and Butthead" (she is the cousin of one of them) -- but, since it's "Beavis and Buttheead", i'm not going to tell you how to find it...))
There is one particular scene in COLLEGE that is quite outdated (and which some will find offensive) where Keaton's character is dressed in blck paint. Be forewarned and take it for what it is.
You haven't unless you've seen how Buster does it, and he does it with style!
Spend your money on a tank of gas for your car.
Once the company gets your credit card number, they put you on an automatic mailing list. You start receiving more of their collection, and the box has no invoice, just the tape. If this happens to you, look carefully at your next credit card bill. You may have gotten the first one at a bargain price via those seductive TV ads, but they charge full price for each of those.
You also have to research the web site on the box to find return information. If you don't do it within 30 days, you're sunk. When you do call to cancel, you get a hard sell to buy more products, and you have to insist to get taken off the list.
It's too bad this business practice leaves such a bad taste in your mouth, as the product is pretty good. So enjoy, but be careful.
I was a little disappoined with The Big Broadcast of 1938. The only really funny bits in the film are the W.C. Fields scenes. Ben Blue comes off as annoying in this film and Hope just doesn't seem to have a chance to show off his talents. There are some musical numbers that seem to make things drag. Overall, it looks like a very hastily put-together mish-mash of unrelated scenes.
The W.C. Fields golf scene is one of the funniest I've ever seen.
She opens with an interview - she is wearing a cut off sweatshirt with just the bottom 1/8 of her breasts swaying. She segues into a talking about sports and her fencing. This leads to her first segment - fencing in the nude - she is wearing just her protective gear and nothing else - which covers her breasts and vital crotch area. This falls away and Sunare is revealed in her full glory! The next segment starts with her dressed again in a red sweater and red panties. She moves around teasing the viewer until she takes off the sweater completely for nice complete views of her nicely sized and shaped rack. Then she proceeds to remove those panties - and the camera gets in tighter for brief close-ups of her muff and the very attractive "gear-box" within it. (Freeze frame to stop the action!)
This video definitely deserves an Oscar and I rank it Number 2 on my best list... with number 1 having the TV OFF.
It just doesn't get any better than this guys -- YOU WILL LOVE EVERY SEX-CRAZED MINUTE!! These young, gorgeous, hard-bodied college girls get OUT-OF-CONTROL! Each of these sexy co-eds are HOT HOT HOT, totally REAL -- not models or actresses faking it! -- and caught on tape taking it ALL off & doing things you always WISH the girl next door would show you.
I'm never getting suckered into buying another boring Girls Gone Wild video ever again!!!
It was non-stop in your face heaven from start to finish -- This is a video you will watch OVER & OVER again!
My only complaint: Why can't there more videos out there like this one!?!?!?! 5 out of 5 stars

$1.2 million to construct a 2,000+ sq. ft. deck 20 ft. off the ground to house 660 sq. ft. of restrooms. What can one see from 20'ft high that one cannot see from the beach? What a waste of tax dollars!
The restrooms located at 20 ft. high, however, require the elderly and handicapped people to negotiate 4 winding ramps totaling 200 feet long to reach them. Absolutely ridiculous!
This deck will become a magnet for the homeless with a blanket and a sleeping bag.
This so-called observation deck will only be approx. 10 ft., not 20 ft., off the ground.
What can one expect to see from this deck that one cannot see from the beach?
