Digital Signage Deployment
What if your customers want to explore a more integrated go-to-market strategy and include print and digital signage? You need to know the basics, or at the very least who to partner with. If not, you can watch any potential profit you may receive fly out...
Digital signs certainly are nothing new; not in China, nor in Times Square NYC. But the rest of the country is starting to see what big-city New Yorkers have grown accustomed to: bright lights, seen live and in person (not on television). Electronic signage can be found on more and more. They are inside hotel lobbies, flashing menu choices at fast-food restaurants, and atop pumps at gas stations. (See a video of the70-inch HD screens at JFK Airport: www.myprintresource.com/video/10653667.) They're even in fancy restaurants: "Would you like to see our wine list?" asked a waiter, handing me an iPad to peruse.
In the motion-picture space, Screenvision boasts some 15,000 screens in US movie theaters. A smaller player is Cinema Scene Marketing, which uses Popstar Networks software to power its more than 500 TrailerVision displays in some 250 theater locations nationwide. (For hardware, Popstar employs AOpen Digital Engine series ultra-small form factor media players.) The complete digital marketing solution comprises of up to five different digital formats at a single location, including passive, 3D, semi-holographic projection, touchscreens, and digital menu boards for concessions. Cinema Scene distributes more than eight terabytes of media-rich data annually from a single, Cloud-hosted environment.
Nielsen has reported that digital signage in the US generates more than 237 million monthly exposures to people 18 years of age or older. Its benefits are numerous. For one thing, like its variable-data print cousin, digital signage can display content relevant to a specific site or region. Message content also can be changed and delivered quickly, pointed out Four Winds Interactive. Plus, complete network control of displays is available from one central location. Digital retail signs indeed are an up and coming trend, as contributing editor Joann Whitcher has reported on MyPrintResource, citing projections from market research firm iSuppi Corp. that show global shipments of retail digital signs set to rise to 2.5 million units by 2013, a 26.8 percent CAGR over 2008.
Printed signage is not going away, of course, but what if your customers want to explore a more integrated approach and offer the best of both worlds? You'll need to know some basics, the very least of which is with whom to possibly partner. It's either that, or watch potential profit fly out your window as someone else proactively takes the reigns on the project. In March, my "Bright Lights, Dynamic Content" story delved into the e-billboard marketplace. (link: www.myprintresource.com/article/10653592) As MPR's Jeffrey Steele also pointed out a few months ago, "Positioning your company in the emerging digital signage market is about much more than buying some screens and plugging them in." (www.myprintresource.com/article/10620346)
This article, however, is broader in scope and more about the pitfalls (see sidebar) that printers should beware of and sidestep. So, your customer wants to add a new digital signage network. Here's what to watch out for …
Supplement, Not Substitute
Not necessarily replacing its ink-on-paper cousins, digital signage can be the ideal complement to more static mediums, said Matt Schmitt, founder, president and chief experience officer at Reflect Systems, which has launched and supported some of the largest in-store digital media networks in North America, including BestBuy and GameStop. In an exclusive interview with Wide Format Imaging, Schmitt pointed out that while more can be done with digital in terms of offering media-rich experiences, one key is to choose display technology that does what it needs to do – no more and no less. "What's the purpose?" he asked. "What's it being used for?"

Canada Takes Gold at Pan Ams |
Canada - Men |
Two second-half intercept tries from Conor Trainor, both converted, were enough to earn Canada a 26-24 victory over Argentina and the gold medal at the Pan American Games. Argentina scored just as many tries as Canada, including one at full time to draw within two, but the conversion sailed wide. Canada also won its semifinal over the United States by a conversion Argentina led 12-7 at halftime. Canada's only first-half score was provided by John Moonlight, as was the opening try of the second half.Full Report to follow. |

The road rage attack took place on the side of a road in Spanaway.
By the end of it, the victim suffered two fractured eye sockets, a broken nose, broken jaw and multiple other facial fractures. He is scheduled for surgery today.
Pierce County sheriffs detectives are looking for the man who pummeled the other driver during the incident Monday.
The victim was driving in the 17900 block of Pacific Avenue East about 4:10 p.m. when, thinking the driver behind him was being aggressive, tapped his brakes a few times, the department said.
The victim then pulled over to the side of the road, followed by the other driver.
Michael Howard was pulling out of the Brown Cow latte stand when he saw the cars stopped. He said he thought the men were friends until one began punching the other, who had his arms raised and was trying to apologize.
When he got within arms reach, (the second driver) sucker punched him, Howard said Thursday.
Howard said the second driver then got on one knee, grabbed the victims hair and began pounding his face into the ground. He was about to land his fourth punch when Howard leaned heavily on the horn.
I dont think Ive ever seen such a look of hate, and I had a tour in Vietnam, Howard said.
The second driver tried to get Howard out of the car but he stayed inside. When Howard saw the man was about to drive away, he said he reached for his pocketknife and went to cut the mans back tires so he couldnt flee.
Howard said the driver kicked him in the face and punched him twice before driving away.
The driver was described as black, in his 20s, about 5 feet 8 with a slender build. He was wearing a green and brown fleece coat. His car was a dark green or gray sedan, possibly a Chevrolet or Ford.
Tacoma-Pierce County Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and charging of the driver. Tipsters can call 253-591-5959.
Howard said he is offering a $500 reward for the mans arrest.

Feds Asked to Determine "Natural" Chicken
The United States Department of Agriculture is pondering changes in the regulation of "natural" chicken. The major poultry producers in the nation — Perdue, Pilgrim's Pride, and Tyson Foods — have taken different sides in this argument. Perdue claims that its competitors, Pilgrim's Pride and Tyson, are injecting water and salt into their poultry, increasing the weight of the chicken artificially.
California Faces Total Meltdown
Governor Schwarzenegger of California on Wednesday ordered furloughs for 156,000 of the state's 237,000 employees. The estimated savings from these furloughs is $150,000,000 per month — only $80,000,000 of which comes from savings in general revenue — a drop in the bucket compared to the overall state deficit which stands at $19,000,000,000.
Obama Near Last Stage of Plan
Anthony Martin at the Conservative Examiner has described the Obama Plan for the systematic removal of our remaining American liberties — brick by brick. Each step is intimately connected with the operation of the free market.
Judge Will Not Strike Down Ariz. Law Before It Goes Into Effect
Federal District Court Judge Susan Bolton, during the course of a July 22 hearing, made it clear to parties attacking and parties defending the new Arizona immigration law, SB 1070, that she will not issue a ruling that invalidates the entire law before it goes into effect on July 29. Her questioning of ACLU lawyer Omar Jadwat may provide some insight into Judge Bolton's rulings in the case. The judge asked Jadwat: "Why can't Arizona be as inhospitable as they wish to people who have remained and entered the United States illegally? Who am I to stop the state of Arizona?"
New Tax Burdens for Selling Gold
Gigantic congressional bills, crammed with every goodie needed to buy a senator or congressman, filled with little rewards for special interest groups who help the right people, and often jammed with just plain foolishness, are the hallmark of how business has been conducted for many decades in our capitol. The massive healthcare bill passed by Democrats last winter is an excellent example of this messiness. Section 9006 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act amends the Internal Revenue Code so that, beginning in January 2012, a Form 1099 will have to be filled for all purchases of gold which exceed $600. This, of course, has nothing to do with health care at all. It does have to do with collecting yet more money from Americans in income taxes: $17 Billion over the next ten years, the Joint Committee on Taxation reports.
Labor Unions Hire Picketers
Organized labor has increasingly moved away from its original stated goal: representing industrial workers against the "ogres" of big business.
Is the Tea Party Movement Racist?
The Tea Party movement is consciously constructed around the founding principles of the Declaration of Independence — all men are created equal. These words were echoed 87 years after the Declaration of Independence by Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator of African Americans.
Census Employees Face More Unemployment
The federal stimulus program, intended to create jobs in the American economy, has largely been funneled into government jobs that do not create goods or services and — in fact — may hinder the private sector from growing (as government activity often does).

Rated 5 out of 5 by RAyala Awesome release
If you want an awesome release that is simple, durable, & smooth, this is the perfect release. It's not to big and bulky like other releases. I've been hunting with it for 2 years in South Texas where there is a lot of red dirt that sticks to everything. Nothing affects the performance of this release.

One more question for you: I see games hit the 'archive' about 5-7 hours after they're played (from what I can figure). Let's take Saturday's Coyotes game for example, I can watch the Archived (1600kbps) game. However, the 'Live' 3000/1600/800 kbps version remains up for a few days after the game's been played. Any way to grab those streams? I saw a 'calendar.xml' file that may be interesting.... If you could look into it, would be greatly appreciated (as it fixes the 'hole' issue between 'live' and 'archive')!

DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- Traffic fatalities in Iowa rose slightly last year, compared with 2009, but the figure was far below the record of 912 set in 1970.
The Iowa Transportation Department put 2010's number at 391, based on preliminary data. The 2009 figure was 371.
State officials told The Des Moines Register that the troubled economy, high gas prices and better highway safety combined to keep the total below 400 for only the third time since World War II.
Also, Iowa State Patrol chief Patrick Hoye says troopers are focused on cutting violations that lead to fatalities, including drunken driving and speeding.

Northern Michigan Events: In addition to the comedy shows for Northern Michigan's audiences, the festival will present some new events and free fun for families in Traverse City, making Front Street an exhibition of the best fun of Northern Michigan's winter.
Here's the cool part—the Traverse City Winter Comedy Festival is closing Front St. to traffic Friday through Sunday to hold a bunch of winter games and events for the whole family in downtown Traverse City:
The festival is packing in fun for kids of all ages, including family comedy shows to be announced in the upcoming weeks. Kids are also invited to celebrate National Cherry Month with the ever-popular "Make the Bake" pie event sponsored by Grand Traverse Pie Company. This free event for kids 12 and under gets underway at 2 pm on Saturday at GT Pie on Front and Park, right by the sledding hill.
Travor Tkach, executive director of the National Cherry Festival, said, "We're also excited about bringing back WOW!Fest's most popular events: the Soup'r'Bowl, the Bed Race, and Ice Sculptures up and down Front Street. We like bringing good things to the community during February, National Cherry Month, and the power of the Cherry Festival, we'll be sure there's snow on Front Street, no matter what the weather."

Walk in the footsteps of the ANZAC's on our moving & memorable Gallipoli experience. Join fellow Aussies & Kiwis & pay tribute on our 5 day tour to commemorate the ANZAC arrival in 1915. First spend a day exploring Istanbul. Then head to Gallipoli where you'll tour the battlefields & sleep under the stars before attending the sobering Dawn Service. To top off the experience, visit Lone Pine & Chunuk Bair to pay your respects & get back to Istanbul for a tour of Old Istanbul's sights.
Length: | 5 days |
Accommodations: | Hotel, Sleep under stars as per itinerary
Meals: | , Breakfast as per itinerary
Sightseeing: | Turkey, including Istanbul & Gallipoli |
Transportation: | Modern, air-conditioned coach |
Welcome to Istanbul! Make your way to our centrally-located hotel & check-in any time after 2pm, then get ready for a cultural & historical experience like no other. This afternoon, take time to relax or maybe do some exploring, then this evening we'll meet up with your Tour Manager & travel buddies for your pre-trip kick start meeting – where you'll learn all about the adventure you're about to start. Istanbul is literally a city where East meets West & such a great place to visit. From icons like the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar & the Hagia Sofia, there is so much to be discovered here. Tonight, if you feel like exploring you could head to the Grand Baazar for some shopping – it's an unforgettable shopping experience. Your Tour Manager will give you plenty of pointers about where to head. With carpets, jewellery, spices, music, electronics & more, the place is buzzing, so make sure you've got your haggling hat on as there are some amazing bargains to be had.
This morning, we'll start on our pilgrimage to the site of the region's bloody battle, Gallipoli, where your ANZAC adventure begins. Access may be restricted during the afternoon, but we'll have you in prime position to access the site as soon as it opens. Tonight feel the buzzing atmosphere with many other travellers as we "camp out" under the stars at ANZAC Cove, where World War I troops landed & await the Dawn service tomorrow morning. Note: Camping out at Anzac Cove will get chilly, and could be wet, so make sure you bring warm clothes, a waterproof jacket & a sleeping bag to keep you snug. There's also 8kms of walking involved so bring your comfy walking shoes.
We'll wake up before sunrise to experience the magical & very moving ANZAC Dawn Service, before we walk in the footsteps of the soldiers up the very same cliffs as the ANZAC troops did in 1915. We'll pay our respects to the thousands of fallen heros later today - at Lone Pine we participate in the Australian Memorial Service, followed by the New Zealand service at Chunuk Bair. After this truly unforgettable experience, we'll return to Istanbul for our last night of the trip.
After breakfast, we'll head out to explore the city on a guided tour. There is so much to see & experience here so get ready for an action packed morning. First up, show you one of the city's major draw cards & one of its iconic buildings, the stunning Blue Mosque. It's an amazing building with a series of domes & minarets dominating the skyline, complete with a breathtaking interior of tens of thousands of blue tiles. You'll stop for a look at the Hippodrome of Constantinople – an outdoor square once the centre of sporting & social events during the Byzantine (Roman) Empire. After this we'll take a look at the famous Hagia Sofia church (now a museum) to give you a feel for the ancient Constantinian empire. We'll then head the Basilica Cistern for a look at the ancient underground cisterns that lie beneath the city. If you're up for it, you could experience a bit of Istanbul's nightlife! Try your hand at backgammon in a sidewalk cafe & watch the crowds go by as you sip on Turkish coffee. Chill out in a tea garden, or take to the time-honoured tradition of the hammam (steam bath house) get scrubbed down on heated marble stones.
It's time to swap emails with your tour mates this morning as your 5 day ANZAC adventure ends after breakfast.
All these highlights along with city sightseeing are included in your tour price!

Balance your way up the dike as you will your feet to stick. Hand holds are almost non-existent, and foot work is technical and fun. The bolts are not "sport climb" close, but skidding down the wall isn't dangerous so long as you wear pants. As far as aesthetic lines go, they don't get prettier than this. Pitch 1: Follow the dike described above. You will encounter a slippery crux between the 3rd and 4th bolts. After the crux it eases up slightly, but don't let your guard down. One more quite hard move gains a good edge below the anchor, mantle and take a deep breath. Pitch 2: Rarely done. Step left from the belay to a solution pocket. Aid past 3 bolts, mantle on the ledge, and belay from a tree on the right.
Between Ethereal Buttress (Ethereal Crack, 5.10d) and Echo Roof. You can't miss it.
Quickdraws for first pitch. May need gear for second pitch. Two rope rap from ledge.
It's a gorgeous line. If you time it right, there's a free biner for your effort. I have to say thanks to Ben R. for being so relentless about getting us onto this climb. Maybe when I grow up I'll make it from #3 to #4 on the 1st attempt. Until then I'll be more than overjoyed to get my butt repeatedly handed to me. Gear Beta, a Red Bull for the belayer, "keep a weather eye".
A killer climb.... I just sent yesterday (I tried it once last year).... A very slippery and technical climb, and it's not over after bolt #4, though getting there is the crux for sure.... It's cool to have such a hard route with pretty much no hand holds to speak of.... Highly recommended....
Evil Slab!
Love, love, love it despite the fall between the 3rd and 4th bolt. It doesn't end until the chain anchor either, which is not to mention a mantel to the chains. It's great to find a route that is not all about power!
When Al Comeau was trying to free this route, he took a lot of time(remember EB's) . We wanted him to re-name the route "inchworm".
Hell yess.
In Ed Webster's book this route is rated 5.11c and in the Jerry Handren book it gets 5.11a. I think its a really hard one to rate due to its slippery nature. If you hit the right foot holds and nail the right body positions its not too bad, if anything is off, so are you. I called it 5.11c because its hard, but if you are a slab queen (or king) you might just walk it... When i climb it i could care less what they grade it I'm just happy to clip the next bolt or if I'm really lucky, the chains...
Gotta remember the inside out right foot cross step and the crux goes better.
this is by far my favorite .11 i like how it is a more of a technical climb rather that power and pump. i love the cross step movements and the crux is thin and slippery but very fun. anywhere after the second bolt makes a safe fall. i took one whip the first time going through the crux (bolt 3 to 4) and it was by far the safest slab fall i've had with no skidding on the slab.
Nice ! Always gotta remember to get to the belay before the water seeps get you. i love that the only real hold on the route is the belay ledge
The falls on this are suprisingly fun and safe after the second bolt. There is no longer a second pitch. Bolts were chopped.
Anyone know if the second pitch was ever climbed free?
Chopped ? Really ? I almost got P2 free around '90 or so. It will go for sure, 13a or so. Maybe they fell out
You too John? I came within about 35' of freeing that second pitch myself...
A bit closer to 3.5' really.very close but no go.

Mudbug Love
Authentic Cajun cuisine in the heart of town
In February, it seems all eyes turn to the South, particularly New Orleans, as Mardi Gras celebrations commence. With it comes the traditions and Cajun flavors that give Nawlins its fame. Luckily you don't have to drive any further than south Tulsa to enjoy the flavors of the Big Easy.
Cajun Ed's is the restaurant side of Hebert's Specialty Meats. This is always a great combo because you know anything you order off the menu is going to be super fresh. It's also nice to know you have a place to go to get the ingredients to create your own Cajun feast at home. The inside is brightly lit and festive, with store items on the right and some nice wooden high-top tables to the left. Cajun Ed's is a popular lunch stop and has a wonderful menu containing all the delights that Louisiana has to offer.
We started our journey into swamp country with an appetizer of boudin balls. Boudin (pronounced boo-DAN) is a type of sausage, and at the same time, it's not a sausage. Contained inside a sausage casing is pork, pork liver (don't let this frighten you -- it's subtle), rice, and a unique blend of spices. It is a savory surprise, with what seems like a million flavors hitting your taste buds all at once. Cajun Ed's boudin balls were outstanding, with the outer coating forming a nice and smooth cornbread crunch and the inside packed a punch. A really great way to start a Cajun feast, and for $4.95 for four nicely-sized balls, it was a slam dunk.
Cajun cuisine is something that I don't feel like I get to have very often, so when I do it, I do it right. My first order of business was to sample the turducken ($11.95). The mythical turducken is a carnivore's dream, with a layer of turkey, enveloping a layer of duck. It doesn't stop there. Then, past the turkey and the duck is a layer of chicken and then a pork sausage stuffing. To eat turducken is killing three birds with one bite, showing Mother Nature who is truly the top predator. As with most Cajun cuisine, it is an over-the-top creation, but the question remained: does it taste good?
The turducken meal arrived with heaping helpings of green beans, studded with onion and bacon, dirty rice and maque choux (pronounced mahk-shoo). The mound of sides made the delicate slice of turducken seem small. However, as I took my first bite, I understood why. To have in your mouth three types of bird is a lot for the ol' tongue to process. It was a bacchanalia of piquancy.
Though the turducken was legendary, I must not overlook the sides, which could easily stand alone. The dirty rice was en pointe with a perfect blend of flavors. The maque choux, another Cajun specialty, was superb with its blend of sweet corn in a light creamy sauce with green pepper and onion.
Now we came to the ultimate Cajun cuisine -- the crawfish. Each year people wait with bated (or baited?) breath for mudbug season to begin, which is usually in March. But with the recent mild fall and winter, people are able to get their crawfish fix early. My beau had never really experienced crawfish in their purest form -- boiled up with potatoes, corn and other seafood. Cajun Ed's Boiled Seafood Platter ($21.95) comes with crab legs, fresh gulf shrimp, corn, potatoes, and crawfish.
The whole mudbug can be intimidating, but here are some simple tips to successfully conquer the crawfish. First, snap the little guy in two where the head meets the rest of the body. Press on the head a bit to loosen it up. Once separated, you have a couple of options. Perhaps you've heard the term "suck the head." It's pretty simple. Once you've got the head in your hand, put it to your lips on the open end and give a healthy slurp. Inside is a "heady" mix of flavors from the boil water and from the crawfish itself. It's nice flavor prep for the next step.
You've dealt with the head, now to tend to the tail. Pinch the very end of the tail between your thumb and index finger and at the other end you'll see the tip of treasure you seek. Delicately pull on this exposed meat while pinching the tail and blammo! The tail meat is all yours to savor. Crawfish meat has a similar flavor profile and texture to crab. It's sweet, not briny, and tender. It may seem labor intensive, but it's really fun foregoing all food etiquette, getting your hands dirty all for the sake of a small piece of tail.
Along with a nice haul of crawfish came crab legs and some of the freshest, most delectable peel-and-eat shrimp I've had in a while. The corn on the cob and potato were largely overshadowed by the bounty of crawfish and seafood.
Maybe dealing with the whole crawfish isn't your style. You can still reap the benefits of the taste of the crawfish without all the rigmarole by ordering Cajun Ed's Crawfish Half-and-Half Platter ($10.95). The platter includes a heaping helping of crawfish, coated in that sweet yet spicy cornbread coating and fried to perfection. This is crawfish with all the joy and without all the work. The other half of the platter, however, is a thing of beauty -- crawfish étouffée.
Etouffée is a distinctly Cajun concoction that is full of flavor and rib-sticking goodness. It is usually made with shellfish, with crawfish being the most authentic choice. A thick sauce, or roux, is created by mixing the trinity -- green peppers, onion and celery -- with flour. To get the distinct mahogany color, it is necessary to stir and watch the roux with care. Cajun Ed's offering was as authentic as it gets, with the bold flavors that only enhanced the sweet, delicate crawfish.
Cajun cuisine is an often-imitated cuisine. It's understandable because the flavors are so haunting. Though imitations are a quick fix, there is no substitute for the real deal. Tulsans are lucky that they have a place to satisfy the Cajun cravings. Because if you want to know what Louisiana really tastes like, look no further than Cajun Ed's.

BUTTE - A Boy Scouts official says the Butte troop will continue to operate as normal and that safety measures have been implemented to protect scouts.
This week, the Boy Scouts of America released more than 20,000 confidential documents about sexual abuse towards young members. One case involves a leader of Troop 27 in Butte during the 1960s.
The Scout Executive of Boy Scouts of Montana says over the last 30 years the program has become safer. Adults are screened and receive training before registering with the Boy Scouts.
Its young members also receive training about potential inappropriate situations.
Scout Executive Gordon Rubard says, "We're doing lots of things to make it progressively safer and safer for our members. Reports indicate that in the past our system didn't fully work to protect our scouts. That's something we take very seriously and we want to do everything in our power, not to have that happen again."
The Butte man involved in the sexual abuse documents had previously been found guilty of a molesting charge, involving two little girls.

THE UNITED DEFENDERS LEAGUE ~ OUR MISSION ~ WE THE ARCHERS-ERRANT OF NATIONSTATES pursue native freedom and justice for its regional communities. Loyal and unswerving to its noble cause, we defend the native will from those who threaten its independence. A body of moral agents whose judgment is not corrupted by the collective interests of contributing regions but instead, governed by a higher body of intransient defender law. The United Defenders League emerges from the clouds of the interregional conscience –circling in anticipation of regional foray. ~ OUR ORGANIZATION ~ The United Defenders League is an idealistic defender organization managed at the individual as opposed to the superregional or regional level. What does this mean? It means as a defender organization we are not established formally as a defense pact between member-regions, nor are we any specific region's military, but instead, we are a group of defenders uniting to pursue a shared cause to defend regions and secure justice and security in NationStates. Although historically, defender organizations have generally been superregional or regional, the United Defenders League is distinctly individual for several reasons: (1) Without member-region's specific interests entangled with the decision-making of the United Defenders League, what is right and just is more clearly attainable without the moral murkiness of self-interest, (2) In a superregional organization, members are allied with the United Defenders League by regional affiliation and may not actively support defenderism – this bloats an organization with members who have no interest in, nor sympathy for defending, (3) Security pacts are essentially rendered valueless with defender idealism – in practical defenderism, the internal security of a region is partially tied to the military might and influence of its interregional allies, but defender idealists will intervene without the need of a 'pact' or any mutual interests. Therefore an idealistic defender superregional organization would be offering security to regions that they would receive anyway, which is basically short-changing member-regions. There are three overarching ways in which you can participate further in the United Defenders League, (1) You can apply to become a Member, as a member you can actively defend and liberate regions, recruit new defenders and act as a diplomat on behalf of our institution, (2) You can apply as a Herald, which is essentially a diplomat. The United Defenders League establishes treaties with regions, customizable to what regions wish, these treaties may request allowances for posting on Regional Message Boards, World Factbook Entry advertisements or simply an exchange of updates. Because of the rules of NationStates, recruitment for individual-led organizations are limited basically to word-of-mouth outside of feeders, therefore all offerings of World Factbook Entry and Regional Message Board space is highly appreciated but not necessary for relations, and basically is charity for a good cause (*ALL REQUESTS FOR TREATIES ARE TO BE MADE HERE*), (3) You can apply as a Member of our Militia, so you can be contacted to assist if unusually large numbers are needed for a liberation of a region. If none of these options suit you, and you wish to merely remain as an observer of our public forum, please follow this link and post a simple "welcome" thread for yourself and you will be masked as an observer shortly. ADDITIONALLY: If you are a defender from a different military organization than the United Defenders League (e.g., TITO, FRA, E-Army) and wish to have access to the operational sector of our forums without becoming a member, please apply for Military Liaison masking. --------------------------------------------------- Application Areas: Members | Heralds | Militia | Military Liaisons | Embassies --------------------------------------------------- |

Conn. lawmakers seek consensus on Newtown bills
Tags: Newtown shooting law changes gun laws Sandy Hook Elementary School
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- State legislators face the task of sifting through more than 100 bills, reams of letters and emails, and hours of public testimony to come up with recommendations for policy and law changes following the deadly school shooting in Newtown.
Three subcommittees of a special legislative task force on gun violence and children's safety have until Feb. 15 to present their suggestions on changes affecting guns, mental health and school security, to the General Assembly's top leaders.
They hope to hold a vote on emergency certified legislation at the end of February.
Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney says the subcommittee focusing on state gun laws is planning to hold a final informational meeting with police and public safety officials on Monday to get more information before it begins deliberations.

Understanding Back Pain -- Diagnosis and Treatment
How Is Back Pain Diagnosed?
Before a doctor can begin treating back pain, he or she may do tests to diagnose what is causing your problem. Unless you are totally immobilized from a back injury, your doctor probably will test your range of motion and nerve function and touch your body to locate the area of discomfort.
Blood and urine tests will make sure the pain is not caused by an infection or other systemic problem. X-rays are useful in pinpointing broken bones or other skeletal defects. To analyze soft-tissue damage such as disk herniation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans may be needed. A CT scan can be done instead for those who cannot have an MRI. X-rays and imaging studies are not usually indicated for first-time back pain caused by an overuse type injury and are generally used only for checking out direct trauma to the back, back pain with fever, or nerve problems such as weakness or numbness in the arms or legs. To determine possible nerve or muscle damage, an electromyogram (EMG) can be useful.
Unfortunately, there is not always a direct correlation between the findings on imaging studies and the amount of back pain. Many older people have findings on CT scans and MRI, yet do not have back pain.
What Are the Treatments for Back Pain?
Back pain treatment goals are pain relief and restored movement. The basic treatment for relieving acute back pain from strain or minor injury is to modify your activities. An ice pack can be helpful, as can acetiminophen (Tylenol), aspirin or another nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to reduce pain and inflammation. After the inflammation subsides, applying heat can soothe muscles and connective tissue.
Bed rest, which used to be advised for the treatment of back pain, is not only unnecessary for most cases of back pain, but it is actually potentially harmful, making recovery slower and potentially causing new problems. In most cases, you will be expected to start normal, nonstrenuous activity (such as walking) within 24 hours to 72 hours. After that, you should begin controlled exercise or physical therapy. Physical therapy treatments may employ massage, ultrasound, whirlpool baths, controlled application of heat, and individually tailored exercise programs to help you regain full use of the back. Strengthening both the abdominal and back muscles helps stabilize the spine. You can prevent further back injury by learning -- and doing -- gentle stretching exercises and proper lifting techniques, and maintaining good posture.
If back pain keeps you from normal daily activities, your doctor can help by recommending or prescribing pain medications. Over-the-counter painkillers such as Tylenol, aspirin, or ibuprofen can be helpful. Your doctor may prescribe prescription strength anti-inflammatories/pain medicines or may prefer to prescribe combination opioid/acetaminophen medications such as Vicodin or Percocet. Some doctors also prescribe muscle relaxants. But beware, these medications have their main effect on the brain, not the muscles, and often cause drowsiness and dependence. Other medicines such as antidepressants and anticonvulsants are sometimes prescribed to help with pain related to irritated nerves. Although often used, steroids taken by mouth are not recommended by the American College of Physicians (ACP) for the treatment of acute low back pain.

August 7, 1998 Nairobi Bombing: MSF Joins Emergency EffortWhen a bomb went off in the five-story American Embassy building in Nairobi, Kenya, on the morning of August 7, 1998, MSF teams reported immediately to area hospitals to help handle the huge influx of wounded civilians. Fifteen MSF doctors and nurses responded within half an hour following a Government request for urgent help. Some of these medical professionals were based in Nairobi, and others had stopped in Nairobi on their way to missions in Burundi and Sudan. An MSF eyewitness to the bombing reported a deafening sound and giant black cloud, followed by chaos. "People driving in cars stopped suddenly to take the injured to the hospitals," she said.
