Scared....Never done this beforeSep 4, 201210I am flying with American Airways out of MCI to Douglas, then to Florida! This will be my first time flying in a big plane! I will have my wife and kid with me and they have never flew before! My wife is afraid of heights including rollercoasters and this is sorta freaking her out just a big! I really couldnt sleep late night because it was also kinda of scaring me! LOL weird!hmmDontKnowposted on Tue, Sep 4This is what I suggest you do to put yourself at ease: open www.ifly.com/mci - at the top click on "Traveler Tips" - where you get your answers on travel procedures. Thereafter, click on "Terminal Map" under QUICK LINKS (at left), scroll down and read the detailed text regarding terminals & transfers. Do the same by opening www.ifly.com/clt for your Charlotte Douglas connection. Note: At MCI you will arrive via American Airlines at Terminal C (American Airlines is at gates 76-79); at CLT (if using the same airline) you will arrive at Terminal A. Note: if your connection to Florida is on another airline, you need to make sure that AA transfers your bags to the Florida connecting flight (not all airlines do). Make sure your wife is seated at the isle - so she won't have to look out of the window. You can do it - don't forget that airport staff is here to help you - ask!tusep12posted on Tue, Sep 4

Laguardia - JFK - International flightAug 10, 201210Coming in at Laguardia; will be taking taxi to JFK for an international flight. Have a 3-hour window. Will that be enough as I have to go through Customs at JFK? What if I only take a carryon bag?cometredposted on Fri, Aug 10For taxi or limo service from LGA to JFK (taking about 30 mins)contact either: taxi or limo, both take about 30 mins; or call the following three services, all of which take 45-60 mins: ETS Air Shuttle 718-221-5341; All County Express 914-381-4223 or 516-285-1300; NYC Airporter 718-777-5111. At JFK only international arrivals need to go through customs clearance. I suggest you open www.ifly.com/jfk and click on 'Terminal Map' under QUICK LINKS - to familiarize yourself with the terminals and airlines they serve.fraug12posted on Fri, Aug 10
\will \i make the connection\\!!!!!Jul 23, 2012107/23 Arriving from |HONOLULU to Lax AT 3.25pm AT TERMINAL 5. Have to makea connection at \TOM BRADLEY INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL AT 4.00pm. FLYING to Paris. Can anyone tell if I'm going to make it...very concerned!!!!\filipeposted on Sun, Jul 22Your concern is warranted. 1. Have you made sure that your first airline is transferring your bags to your second airline - not all airlines do, in which case your quoted time for baggage pickup and re-check-in at TBIT would not be enough. Do not take the bus as it runs the opposite way. Exit T5, turn left, pass T4 and walk around the bend to TBIT. Continue there to the Departure level, go through security check and on to your gate. Estimated time from gate to gate: up to 20 mins - not a good idea for an international connection.. Also, your Honolulu flight may be delayed, and check-in at TBIT may take more time than usual. I suggest you open www.ifly.com and click on 'Terminal Map'under QUICK LINKS, then scroll down to the text with all details.mojul12posted on Mon, Jul 23
TDravel between terminals 8 &7Jul 21, 201210My 89 yr old sister will be arriving at terminal 8 on a United Express Flight from SMX on 9/8 at approx 7:30 with 1hr-37min to get from Term 8 to Term 7 to board a United plane to BWI. Is this enough time for her to reasonably expect to make that connection? Your prompt reply will be appreciated before I finalize her ticket. Thanks, jdhjdhposted on Sat, Jul 21I presume you sister would change flights on arrival at LAX (Los Angeles Airport) from Terminal 8 to Terminal 7. These terminals are not connected, other than by a short walkway, necessitating her to leave T8 and go through security check at T7 before proceeding to connecting gate. As I presume that you sister is not very mobile, I suggest you contact United when making reservations and state that she will need assistance (should be done at least 48 hours prior to departure. Your time frame would sure suffice.sajul12posted on Sat, Jul 21
12 Year Old flying SoloJun 27, 201210is anyone on here flying tomorrow's flight 1210 from chicago to las vegas? If so, my daughter is coming off a connecting flight from boston and is needing your help to guide her to the right gate for this flight as she is no longer considered an unaccompied minor. she doesn't know how to read the monitors on the screen so if you are connecting to this flight, please help my daughter get home to me safely. Thank you!Mommyof3posted on Wed, Jun 27I searched Flight 1210 for tomorrow - turns out Southwest departs Chicago Midway airport for Las Vegas at 10:10am at gate B11. However, I could not find a flight from Boston to Chicago (searched both Chicago O'Hare ORD and Midway MDW airports. Your daughter's ticket should indicate arrival & departure time and gates and Airport Codes (ORD or MDW). I suggest you open www.ifly.com/ord or www.ifly.com/mdw & click on "Terminal Map" under QUICK LINKS - scroll down to the text and find terminal & connections. Arrivals & departures terminals/ concourses / gates depend on which airlines are used.wejun12posted on Wed, Jun 27

Asian stock markets moved higher Tuesday, with Australia and South Korea leading the gains, because of fresh signs that politicians in Washington could be closer to resolving a stalemate over the government shutdown.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said overnight that "tremendous progress" had been made toward a deal that would reopen the federal government and avert a potential debt crisis. The negotiations are taking place just days ahead of a deadline set by the Treasury Department to raise the federal borrowing limit.

The improved confidence that the debt impasse will be crossed was most apparent in Australia, where the S&P/ASX 200 rose 1% to 5259.10. Miners were strong in Sydney, with BHP Billiton /quotes/zigman/180893/realtime AU:BHP +0.36% up 1% and Rio Tinto /quotes/zigman/182541/delayed/quotes/nls/rio RIO +1.11% /quotes/zigman/155899/realtime UK:RIO +1.13% 2.5% higher after it released its quarterly production report, which showed that its iron-ore output rose to a quarterly high.
Also, Rio Tinto Ltd. /quotes/zigman/176317/realtime AU:RIO +0.05% /quotes/zigman/182541/delayed/quotes/nls/rio RIO +1.11% jumped 2.5%, extending gains after it said
South Korea's Kospi /quotes/zigman/1652118/realtime KR:SEU +0.45% gained 1% to 2040.96.
Japan's Nikkei /quotes/zigman/5986735/realtime JP:NIK +2.02% lost some of its earlier gains as the yen strengthened against the dollar. The Nikkei was up 0.3% at 14,441.54 as the greenback weakened to /quotes/zigman/4867886/realtime/sampled GBPUSD +0.1431% $1.6598, compared with $1.65988 late Monday in New York.
The Australian dollar pushed higher to /quotes/zigman/19452682/realtime/sampled USDAUD -0.1188% $0.9535 from $0.9489 late Monday in New York. Australia's currency was helped by minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia for its Oct. 1 meeting, saying that although the central bank was open to the possibility of further rate cuts, there was little urgency to do so.
Hong Kong reopened on Tuesday after a long weekend, with the Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475/realtime HK:HSI +0.32% up 0.5% at 23,336.52, getting its first chance to react to a batch of Chinese economic data. Figures out Monday showed that China's consumer-price index rose 3.1% year-over-year in September, faster than a 2.6% rise in August. This followed trade data over the weekend that showed shrinking exports in September.

The headline economic figure for the week will be China's third-quarter growth numbers, due on Friday.
On Tuesday, the Shanghai Composite /quotes/zigman/1859015/realtime CN:SHCOMP -0.13% was down 0.2% at 2233.41, retreating after a 0.4% gain in the previous session.
Some stocks were reacting to earnings developments in Tokyo, with Fuji Heavy Industries /quotes/zigman/192845/realtime JP:7270 +2.17% rising 0.8% after a Nikkei report said that it had notched up a 250% year-over-year increase in group operating profit for the April to September period. Nikon /quotes/zigman/195445/realtime JP:7731 +1.25% fell 2.1% after the Nikkei reported that its consolidated operating profit likely fell 54% over the same period.

The Royal Arch Blaspheme
Second-tier USBM "supergroup" The Royal Arch Blaspheme made literally no waves with their 2010 debut, so naturally the laws of heightened self-importance required them to grace us with a second album here in 2012. Consisting of Krieg vocalist N. Imperial and Profanatica guitarist John Gelso on every instrument, II sounds exactly like you'd expect, if you'd heard the other acts of those who wrote it. This is raw, filthy, garbage-can black metal that gives exactly zero shits if you enjoy it, which is good, because the chances of that happening are slim to jack-fucking-squat. The Royal Arch Blaspheme crafts a suitably nasty sound, with the bass and guitar rumbles giving some particularly thickness, but they rarely put this to use in the form of a good song (or even good song section). Put simply, II is uneventful, uninteresting, and generally just kinda un.
The problem with this album isn't that The Royal Arch Blaspheme shows no ability – in the few cases where they get things right there's a lot to like – it's that they spend about 35 of these 42 minutes stuck in mid-paced, half-blasting, plain riff mode. It's as if the entire band has to come together to sound like some devilish metronome. (Most of the drumming could be played by that little monkey-with-a-snare-drum toy… seriously.) There is occasionally some big hit where chords are held out and drums make an impact (tortured, stretched passages in closer "Broken Word of God"), or a part where a quality tremolo harmony takes over (finale of "Ashes of the Holy Ghost") but most of the time I found myself wanting to yell "DO SOMETHING INTERESTING" at my speakers. Yes, there is virtue in simplicity, but even simplicity has to be comprised of parts that are worth at least half of one shit, and here it's a challenge trying to tell one passage apart from another, let alone separating these songs in one's mind.
The only track that gets it right all the way through is "Resurection of Depravity" (the band's spelling error, not mine). A mostly doomy affair, it moves from big, gross groove to hypnotic black metal to a coda that adds a really nice tremolo pattern to the original big, gross groove. This song working as a whole shows exactly how wrong The Royal Arch Blaspheme is going about things. They might want to write minimal, disgusting black metal like Gelso plays in Profanatica, but they're as inept at the style as that act. A full album of the groovy black-doom might actually be something to really enjoy, but unfortunately that's not what we have here.

NPR: The Forgotten, Fascinating Saga of Crisco ]
The composition of crisco has been surprisingly dependent on nutrition. One wouldn't think that a company producing a fat product that is used in deep frying and baking would be so concerned with consumer health. I'm not saying this is a bad thing.
In my experience with "dieters" and other health and nutrition professionals I believe they are sometimes too absolute. For example, everyone knows someone who is a chronic dieter, someone who cycles on and off a diet but never really loses any weight. This person has most likely said something like "I'm on a diet, I can't eat any chocolate." To this I say that you are right in the sense that you might want to decrease the amount/frequency of chocolate indulgence (because of additives like milk and sugar), but you by no means should ban it from your life. Diets should be all about learning moderation. This way you satisfy your cravings and get all your nutrients without going overboard. Moderation prevents cycling, it is a sustainable diet. Eat less, eat better, enjoy what you eat.

The death toll from an outbreak of fungal meningitis linked to contaminated steroid injections has risen, leaving many people in our area to wonder, "Am I at risk?" Innae Park has more on this outbreak and what potential impact, if any, it will have on New Yorkers.
UNITED STATES -- With over one hundred people infected and the death toll rising, the fungal meningitis outbreak is striking fear in many. However, physicians say the alarm is not warranted.
"It is not a flu pandemic that we were talking about a couple of years ago," said Dr. Theresa Stephan Hains of Buffalo State Weigel Health Center. "It is very, very rare and primarily affects typically hospitalized patients who would be severely immune-suppressed for some reason. This is not a disease of the general population."
That's because those diagnosed with the infection thus far were directly injected with the steroid methylprednisolone acetate. The shots to relieve back pain were created by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts and thousands were sent out to 23 states, including New York. The three clinics to receive the injections were in Rochester, Mount Vernon and Mineola and so far, no cases have been reported from our area.
Some of the infection's symptoms include a headache, fever, stiff neck, weakness or numbness, slurred speech or increased pain or swelling at the site of their injection. However, these resemble symptoms of viral meningitis as well, so anyone exhibiting these is urged to check with a physician.
"You don't go to your doctor and ask for pills. It's typically anti-fungal treatments that would be given intravenously," said Stephan Hains.
New England Compounding Center, the pharmacy in Massachusetts, has recalled all its products and shut down production as the FDA investigates.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 28178240:MV8yMDYwMjQ2XzM0NjU3NDczX0JDMjlENzk2] "Dan" is not your real name. Some first names are given to both boys and girls, like for example "Dana". It's possible when President Bush was told your name, he was expecting you to be a boy, and when he saw a girl instead, he concluded you were a cross-dressing fruit, hence the negative reaction. [/quote]
Original Message
Ok,this event has stuck with me over the years and I have thought about it nearly every day since it happened. I would definitely consider it top 3 weirdest things that have ever happened to me.
My dad was a Secret Service agent (recently retired) and because of this, I was "privileged" enough to meet a lot of our Presidents/V.P's/dignitaries/etc. None of the times I met any of them was very significant, except for this one:
We went to the White House Christmas Party in December of 2001. I was 18 or 19 at the time (my birthday is the 12th and I don't remember what day the party was), and was a recently converted Christian (I got saved at about 4am on 9/11/2001, but that is a different story). All of the families of the staff and secret service agents got to go to this party, and have their picture taken with President Bush and the First Lady, and we were all standing in line to go in for the picture, before the dinner. The room where they were taking the pictures was a rather large meeting room with nothing in it besides a large Christmas tree, the Bush's, an aid or two and the photographers (and a few SS agents). When we were next in line to go into the room, I heard the President say my name from around the corner "Dan, where is Dan?", the way an uncle would say that before he saw you and then say "there he is" (my name is not Dan, changed for the story). Apparently, (I am assuming this because I have never asked him) my dad told the aid that was taking us into the room my name, and she told the President, and he just said that to try and be affable or friendly or whatever.
I thought right off the bat that was weird because my two brothers were there too, but he only said my name, so I am not sure why my dad only told him my name (if in fact my dad told the aid that).
As we walked around the corner into the room, that is when things took a terrible turn. As I rounded the corner my eyes scanned the room, the first thing I noticed was Laura Bush, smiling, warm and friendly looking. Then I saw President Bush, who, once again said "which one is Dan?" smiling his goofy smile. My dad introduced me first, because he was asking for me, and I will never forget what happened next. His face went from a kidding-around, smiling, joking demeanor to hard and frowning in an instant. The best way I could describe his reaction was if someone introduced you to a person as "here is the person that killed your father". The smile dropped immediately. His face went from friendly and jesting to anger, disgust and almost a "I can't believe you let him in here" type of look. I felt my face flush as I shook his hand and smiled, but inside I wanted to run away as fast as I could. He didn't say a word to me, just stared me down. I have never felt as awkward in my entire life as I did at that moment, and so out of place. The rest of my family shook his hand and his smile and joking manner returned, and I am almost positive that no one else saw what happened, because if they did I am sure they would have said something about it by now. As we walked out of the room I looked back over my shoulder (I was almost in a state of shock at this point) and he was staring at me with that same death-look on his face. We went back into the dining hall and finished dinner, and the whole time it was all that I could think about. "What just happened?!" "Was that real?!" "Did he see some kind of evil in me?!" type questions poured through my thoughts over and over.
Also that night, George H.W. Bush came to the dinner for just a second, said hi, and left. But as he was leaving, he went over to my brother and rubbed his shaved head, making my brother turn a beet-red color and all of the people standing around laughed hysterically. I would have laughed too, if I hadn't been so shaken up by what just happened to me. Instead, I just sat in silence the rest of the night, completely disoriented as to what took place.
Looking back on the whole thing I still have tons of questions that I cannot come up with answers to, like:
If my dad didn't tell him my name, how did he know it?
If my dad did tell him, why did he just tell him my name?
Why did his look/demeanor/everything about him change so violently?
Did my family notice? If so, why have they never said anything about it?
Assuming it did happen like I remember it (which if it didn't I am officially crazy), what does it mean!?!?!
Is it possible that he saw in me something that triggered him to know that I would discover the truth about the NWO,9/11, etc?
Did it have anything to do with me being a Christian? I have read how the devils knew who Jesus was, and even one said "Paul we know, Jesus we know, but who are you?"
Is it possible that it was a demon-type situation that recognized a child of God and got offended?
At the time, I thought he was a stand-up guy, that was a Christian and was going to save our nation from the terrorists that did the attacks on our soil. I know now the truth about 9/11 (I found Loose Change in 2006 and have been researching it since then), and that he was likely a big part of the attacks, not the one to save us from them. Like I said, I think about this nearly every day and still have more questions than answers. Well, that is my story and I am sticking to it, anyone else have similar experiences or any insight into what happened to me? Thanks for reading GLP, you guys rock!

Old age
Old age consists of ages nearing or surpassing the average life span of human beings, and thus the end of the human life cycle. Euphemisms and terms for old people include, old people (worldwide usage), seniors (American usage), senior citizens (British and American usage), older adults (in the social sciences[1]), the elderly, and elders (in many cultures including the cultures of aboriginal people).
Old people often have limited regenerative abilities and are more prone to disease, syndromes, and sickness than younger adults. For the biology of ageing, see senescence. The medical study of the aging process is gerontology, and the study of diseases that afflict the elderly is geriatrics. The elderly also face other social issues such as retirement, loneliness and ageism, unlike younger people.[2]
Because "the precise onset of old age varies culturally and historically", old age is "a social construct" rather than a definite "biological stage".[3]
The boundary between senior and old age cannot be defined exactly because it shifts according to context and to society. People can be considered old because of certain changes in their activities or social roles. Examples: people may be considered old when they become grandparents, or when they begin to do less or different work—retirement. Most countries have accepted the chronological age of 65 years as a definition of 'elderly' or older person.[4]
German chancellor Otto von Bismarck created the world's first comprehensive government social safety net in the 1880s, providing for old age pensions. In the United States of America, and the United Kingdom, the age of 65 was traditionally considered the beginning of the senior years because, until recently, United States and British people became eligible to retire at this age with full Social Security benefits. In 2003, the age at which a US citizen became eligible for full Social Security benefits began to increase gradually, and will continue to do so until it reaches 67 in 2027. Full retirement age for Social Security benefits for people retiring in 2012 is age 66.[5] Originally, the purpose of old age pensions was to prevent elderly persons from being reduced to beggary, which is still common in some underdeveloped countries, but growing life expectancies and elder populations has brought into question the model under which pension systems were designed.
Changes associated with aging[edit]
The changes associated with old age comprise both physical changes and mental changes, often interactive.[6]
There is often a general physical decline, and people become less active. Old age can cause, amongst other things:
- Wrinkles and liver spots on the skin due to loss of subcutaneous fat
- Change of hair color to gray or white
- Hair loss
- Reduced circulatory system function and blood flow
- Reduced lung capacity
- Reduced immune system function
- Changes in the vocal cords[7] that produce the typical "old person" voice
- Heightened risk for injury from falls that otherwise would not cause injury[8]
- Hearing loss. Of individuals 75 and older, 48% of men and 37% of women encounter difficulties in hearing. Of the 26.7 million people over age 50 with a hearing impairment, only one in seven uses a hearing aid
- Diminished eyesight. It becomes more difficult to read in low lighting and in smaller print. Speed with which an individual reads may also be impaired.[citation needed]
- Reduced mental and cognitive ability[9]
- Depressed mood[10]
- Lessening or cessation of sexual activity[11]
- Greater susceptibility to bone and joint diseases such as osteoarthritis and osteoperosis
- Memory loss is common due to the decrease in speed of information being encoded, stored, and received. It may take more time to learn new information.
Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, is found in old age. It is a general term for memory loss and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 50 to 80 percent of dementia cases.
- Behavioral changes can include wandering, physical aggression, and verbal outbursts due to diseases such as depression, psychosis, or dementia. Although current Alzheimer's treatments cannot stop Alzheimer's from progressing, they can temporarily slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and improve quality of life for those with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. Today, there is a worldwide effort under way to find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset, and prevent it from developing.
According to Cox, Abramson, Devine, and Hollon (2012), old age is a risk factor for depression caused by prejudice (i.e., "deprejudice"). When people are prejudiced against the elderly and then becomes old themselves, their anti-elderly prejudice turns inward, causing depression. "People with more negative age stereotypes will likely have higher rates of depression as they get older."[12]
It must be stressed that each individual is different, and health issues that affect one elderly person may not affect another.[13]
Demographic changes[edit]
In the industrialized countries, life expectancy has increased consistently over the last decades.[14] In the United States the proportion of people aged 65 or older increased from 4% in 1900 to about 12% in 2000.[15] In 1900, only about 3 million of the nation's citizens were 65 or older (out of 76 million total American citizens). By 2000, the number of senior citizens had increased to about 35 million (of 280 million US citizens). Population experts estimate[citation needed] that more than 50 million Americans—about 17 percent of the population—will be 65 or older in 2020. The number of old people is growing around the world chiefly because of the post–World War II baby boom, and increases in the provision and standards of health care.
The growing number of people living to their 80s and 90s in the developed world has strained public welfare systems and has also resulted in increased incidence of diseases like cancer and dementia that were rarely seen in premodern times. When the United States Social Security program was created, persons older than 65 numbered only around 5% of the population and the average life expectancy of a 65 year old in 1936 was approximately 5 years, while in 2011 it could often range from 10–20 years. Other issues that can arise from an increasing population are growing demands for health care and an increase in demand for different types of services.[citation needed]
Of the roughly 150,000 people who die each day across the globe, about two thirds—100,000 per day—die of age-related causes.[16] In industrialized nations, the proportion is much higher, reaching 90%.[16]
Psychosocial aspects[edit]
According to Erik Erikson's "Eight Stages of Life" theory, the human personality is developed in a series of eight stages that take place from the time of birth and continue on throughout an individual's complete life. He characterises old age as a period of "Integrity vs. Despair", during which a person focuses on reflecting back on his life. Those who are unsuccessful during this phase will feel that their life has been wasted and will experience many regrets. The individual will be left with feelings of bitterness and despair. Those who feel proud of their accomplishments will feel a sense of integrity. Successfully completing this phase means looking back with few regrets and a general feeling of satisfaction. These individuals will attain wisdom, even when confronting death.[17][18][19] Coping is a very important skill needed in the aging process to move forward with life and not be 'stuck' in the past. The way a person adapts and copes, reflects his aging process on a psycho-social level (Griffiths,Y & Thinnes,A).
Newman & Newman proposed a ninth stage of life, Elderhood. Elderhood refers to those individuals who live past the life expectancy of their birth cohorts. There are two different types of people described in this stage of life. The "young old" are those healthy individuals who can function on their own without assistance and can complete their daily tasks independently. The "old old" are those who depend on specific services due to declining health or diseases. This period of life is characterized as a period of "immortality vs. extinction." Immortality is the belief that your life will go on past death, some examples are an afterlife or living on through one's family. Extinction refers to feeling as if life has no purpose, an individual could have lived past all family and friends and feel a great loss.
The Disengagement Theory is a mutual withdrawal between elders and society that takes place in anticipation of death. Older people become free from work and family responsibilities allowing them to enjoy the rest of their lives peacefully. They begin to interact less often and activity levels are decreased. However, not all older adults prefer to be disengaged (Berk, 2007). The process of aging and the ways with which it is dealt are directly related to the society to which the aging person belongs. Therefore, disengagement theory is mostly connected with societies that do not place an emphasis on the value, importance, and respectibility of its elders. Many modern societies for example, value high efficiency and contribution, neither of which the elderly are able to provide as well as their younger counterparts. In many ways, they are seen as burdens to these societies, which triggers mutual disengagement between the elderly and the rest of society. According to the disengagement theory, the elderly who disengage take it upon themselves to do so for the benefit of society.
In response to the Disengagement Theory, The Activity Theory of Old Age is a theory of aging which states that the psychological and social needs of the elderly are no differenct from those of the middle-aged and that it is neither normal nor natural for older people to become isolated and withdrawn. This theory is also often called the Implicit Theory Of Aging".
Life expectancy[edit]
In most parts of the world, women live, on average, longer than men; even so, the disparities vary between 9 years or more in countries such as Sweden and the United States to no difference or higher life expectancy for men in countries such as Zimbabwe and Uganda.[20]
The number of elderly persons worldwide began to surge in the second half of the 20th century. Up to that time (and still true in underdeveloped countries), five or less percent of the population was over 65. Few lived longer than their 70s and people who attained advanced age (i.e. their 80s) were rare enough to be a novelty and were revered as wise sages. Accidents and disease claimed many people before they could attain old age, and because health problems in those over 65 meant a quick death in most cases. If a person lived to an advanced age, it was due to genetic factors and/or a relatively easy lifestyle, since diseases of old age could not be treated before the 20th century.[citation needed]
Assistance and care[edit]
According to the Journal "Demography", there is a rise in the elderly living alone if not with a spouse. Individuals 75 and older have decreased in amount needing help taking care of themselves. Many new assistive devices made especially for the home have contributed greatly to this. Some examples of devices are a medical alert and safety system, shower seat (making it so the person does not get tired in the shower and fall), a bed cane (offering support to those with unsteadiness getting in and out of bed), and an ADL cuff (used with eating utensils for people with paralysis or hand weakness).[citation needed]
However around 25% of individuals 85 and older say that they need help with their activities of daily living. There are many options for long term care to those who require it. There is home based care where a family member, volunteer, or trained professional will aid the person in need and help with daily activities. Another option is community services which can provide the person with transportation, meal plans, or activities in senior centers. A third option is assisted living where 24 hour round the clock supervision is given with aid in eating, bathing, dressing, etc. A final option is a nursing home which provides professional nursing care.[citation needed]

ASUS finally announced its flagship AMD Radeon graphics card, the Matrix HD 7970 Platinum. The card basked in camera flashlight at this years biggest tech tradeshows, and is released to the market with the new Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition ASIC, that includes PowerTune with Boost technology. Available in two variants, the base model (1000/1050/6600 MHz core/boost/memory), and Platinum (1050/1100/6600 MHz), the card uses a strong 20-phase VRM that draws power from two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. The VRM features sophisticated load-line calibration features with manual LLC factor control (fine-tune protection against V-droop during voltage-sensitive overclocking sessions). Apart from manual LLC factor tuning, the card features VGA Hotwire, clearly labeled points on its PCB that let you outfit it with manual voltage tuning circuitry. The card provides software voltage control via GPU Tweak, too, but is restricted to ~1.3V. The PCB features an LN2 mode switch, which loads an extreme cooling-optimized BIOS. A fan-override button shoots fan speed to 100% without software interference. Lastly, the card is cooled by a triple-slot ROG-styled DirectCU II cooler that covers most hot components, including the GPU, memory, and VRM. An additional LN2-optimized VRM heatsink is included in the package. Prices start at US $490.
unlucky me, then i suspect there was 2 variant HD7970 DCU II/TOP products released by Asus i don't think so, i believe this card (rog brand products) will still attract enthusiast user to get it , especially if this card labeled as limited edition, frankly i don't know whether this card is limited or not .
Who wanted a custom 7970 with beefed up VRMs already bought the R7970 Lightning... This card is late to the game
Better late than never, because its late, that may mean they have put a lot of time/effort/thought into it, so it could be very good as a guess.
Great game... but I find it kind of odd to bundle this card with a game that will not utilize its full performance.
It might be a 7970, but it could be an 8970 ready, if they have been holding out to have it compatiable to drop in a Venus XT with a few tweaks?
Well this has a dual link... our Lightnings do not. So i would say this is the best card out right now for 7970s.
Does anyone have a clue when we can expect this card to arrive at Newegg? Or about how long it usually takes a card to be available after being announced?
AFAIK its the same card, but AMD got strict with implementing their voltage limits on the later cards so you need to get a copy of the older BIOS. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=168143
LMAO... reviews to prove that? OC records broken with it? etc... Since when was a piece of hardware "the best" simply because it has some "better looking" spec chart... Other than that, Hell, it might be, I just want some hard facts first. Still haven't bought any GPU yet, the Lightning was high on my list as it's really cheap in my country, cheaper than some old release-spec stock R7970s... if this comes close in price and performance, and no concrete news on the R8000s series is out during the following week, i might just go for it.
Thanks buggalugs, I was a bit worried since with the 680s and even the 7990 from Powercolor, the actual card was released months after the announced release... Does anyone know if the non-Platinum version of the cards are binned? I've heard the Platinum cards are binned so that there would be headroom for overclocks. Also, does anyone know if ASUS has solved their issues from the DCUII Top cards?

5 Smart Beverage Swaps
Written by Melinda Hershey, Health Educator Drink Plain Coffee Instead of a Latte
Could your morning latte be to blame for your stalled weight-loss efforts? Since many flavored coffee drinks contain 400 calories or more, it could be the culprit. Drink a Low-Cal Energizing Drink Mix Instead of an Energy Drink
These days, the grocery store coolers are lined with dozens of varieties of sugar- and caffeine-infused energy drinks. The cans claim numerous "energizing" benefits, and these drinks may even contain added vitamins, but all you're really getting is a hefty dose of caffeinated sugar water (and hundreds of calories to boot). Drink Unsweetened Tea Instead of Sweet Tea
Tea has countless health benefits by itself, but you're not doing yourself any favors by loading it up with hundreds of calories of added sugar. Tea tastes wonderful in its natural state; it sometimes just takes some getting used to! Drink Seltzer Instead of Soda
It's hard to avoid soda. Most of us probably see some kind of soda advertisement or bottle several times per week, whether it be at a gas station, grocery store, or social function. Soda packs a hefty caloric punch that adds up fast: A typical 24-ounce bottle can contain up to 500 calories! Drink Mocktails Instead of Cocktails
It's fine to let loose and have a few drinks with friends, but remember that not all alcohol is created equal. Toss back a few sugary margaritas and you're looking at consuming nearly 1,000 calories--and that's before you even touch the deep-fried bar food!

Galeria has 2 items on its menu that are both outstanding. The tuna and the salmon tartare. They are on the "appetizer" page but I found them sufficient for a regular meal. With a glass of white wine, both items make for a delightful dinner or lunch

I ate there last Friday night. It was unbelievable. The portions were huge and the food was excellent. I never expected to find such a high end restuarant in a small city. What a pleasant suprise. Certainly worth going to anytime.
We ate there twice, it was so good! Steak once, fajitas once. Both meals were absolutely delicious! The dining room was very beautiful, it overlooks beautiful garden, and the wait staff speaks English, so no hand gesticulations, or looking up phrases in our cheat sheet of Spanish words! We were greeted warmly, and the food was fantastic!
My wife dined here three times while on vacation - we were that pleased with the Galeria. The owner of the B&B where we were staying warned us the the Galeria was expensive; however, we felt that the prices were reasonable compared to what we would have paid in the USA for comparable quality. We had the salmon salad, steak... More
This place has the best food in Grecia as far as I am concerned. The meat is excellent, also all the other food they serve. Never had a bad meal there, and I have been a few times there for dinner. Definitely worth the money.
I have eaten at this restaurant more than once, the first time I had steak and was very disappointed in the quality of beef that a steak house would serve. Nowhere in Costa Rica, that I have found, has good steaks. I have been back 2 other times and stayed away from the beef so I was very happy with... More
Consistently outstanding food and service. The chef knows his stuff, and the front is welcoming and professional. Always a smile on each employee :)
First off the food was excellent. I had the Ahi Tuna Steak and it was amazing. They also serve may other good items like fajitas. Did not try the steak. They also have a strawberry salsa like sauce that they will bring to the table with the meal that is very tasty as well. The service was slow but very... More
First, the food there is simply wonderful especially the steaks. Quite possibly the best in Costa Rica, a place not famed for great steaks. Here the steaks were very tender and so tasty that you could almost cut them with your fork. The atmosphere at Galeria is warm, friendly (bilingual which is always helpful) and inviting. If you get the... More
I have had the good fortune to dine in fine restaurants from Australia to Budapest, and all over the US. In Grecia, where I now live most of the year, I savor my meals at Galeria. Great menu, and the best service anywhere.....I have been there amny times and not once was I disappointed in any way.

Scott Liljenquist has spent the last 10 years of his life booking Disney trips for families in Utah and around the world.
"We do thousands of trips a year," explained Liljenquist. He's part owner of Mouseketrips, a travel agency dedicated to all things Disney. He thinks this is a good move for Mickey Mouse fans.
Liljenquist said, "I think most adults will see this as a very wise and prudent gesture."
Disney didn't give a concrete reason for the change in policy other than to finally create a rule all their parks will now abide by. It answers the question, 'what's the minimum age?' which wasn't identifiable before. Liljenquist thinks it's a new rule for the new age we're currently living in.
"I think they're worried about liability and they're worried about having younger children and should something happen what happens to the Disney name and what happens to Disney in any kind of legal action as well," explained Liljenquist.
Some have complained that Disneyland acts as a babysitter for locals, but at least one parent we spoke with says it should be a safe place where kids can get some free time from their parents.
Mike Gossard is the father of a 12-year-old. He told ABC 4 News, "You're not going to drop off your little, little ones for babysitting. We're talking about kids who can wonder around, have a few bucks in their pocket and know how to have a good time without mom and dad."

LOYOLA MAROON VOL. XLV Loyola University. New Orleans. La., Friday, April 18, 1969 No. 22 CAP to develop future academic plans By GARY ATKINS (Maroon Desk Editor) A Council for Academic Planning (CAP) was appointed this week to coordinate the development of long-range academic plans for Loyola. The council was appointed by the Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., as part of two studies of the university being conducted by the consulting firm of Cresap, McCormick and Paget, Inc. One study involves the development of long-range academic planning coordinated by CAP, which will be advised by two members of the firm. The study will begin next week with CAP'S first meeting; the final report is due in September, 1970. The second phase involves a study of the administrative organization of the university, including the Boards of Regents and Directors, the university president and vice-presidents, and major administrative units. CAP, consisting of students, faculty and administrators; will coordinate all the work related to academic planning, which will include ad hoc committees to solicit viewpoints about the university from past and present students, faculty, staff and community leaders; study teams to investigate and review specific topics such as university life, programs at other colleges and national trends in education; and task forces to develop recommendations on programs and policies. CAP consists of 15 members: seven faculty, four administrators and four students. Those who have been appointed to CAP are: Administration-the Rev. Thomas Clancy, S.J., vice-president for academic affairs; Dr. Frank E. Crabtree, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; Ted Pfeifer, registrar; and Jerome Dickhouse, assistant vice-president of research; Faculty—Allan I. Boudreaux, professor of accounting; Mel Ivey, director of choral activities in the School of Music; Blanche Zink, assistant professor of education; Thomas Sponsler, assistant professor of law; David Keiffer, chairman of the physics department; Ignatius D'Aquila, assistant professor of visual arts; and the Rev. J. Emile Pfister, S.J., chairman of the theology department; The Student Council failed to recommend four names for student positions at its regular meeting this week. A special meeting was scheduled for yesterday afternoon to select the four. According to a list of procedures for CAP drawn up by the consulting firm, the council will meet monthly to receive reports from its study teams and decide on any new action it would like to take. Individual members of CAP will also serve on the study teams and task forces. Some of the questions that will be considered by the study teams will be information about students, faculty, finances and academic programs. They will also attempt to answer questions such as what is Loyola today, who it serves and what will it be in the future. The lists of procedures recommends four study teams to study: 1. programs at other institutions, so Loyola can know of "educatonal opportunities, real and potential (at other schools) that will compete for students and for support;" 2. national trends, to take into account in any planning "significant movements and experiments in academic programming and instruction" at other schools; 3. instructional techniques to assess methods Loyola faculty are now using in classrooms and to study current patterns of instruction; 4. university life, to study the environment since the atmosphere "in which students study for formal class work has an influence on the educational effectiveness of the institution." The consulting firm has developed a schedule for each study team and task force to meet so that the final report can be compiled by September, 1970. The study will be one of the most comprehensive Loyola has ever had. Father Clancy said that Loyola has operated in the past with "general goals such as excellence, undergraduate education,etc," but that this plan would be more specific. Of course, long range planning will have to be "much broader in aspect" than things some students often mistake as academic planning, such as reducing philosophy and theology requirements, he said. "The long-range planning will have to consider structures," he said. "We have to first set our goals and then translate them into action." He cited a similar comprehensive long-range planning study conducted at Southern Methodist University in 1964 as an example of the type of survey to be conducted at Loyola. At SMU, consultants recommended changes in university structure involving millions of dollars—for example, having graduate students comprise 25 percent of the total enrollment, forming a freshman college, and so on. The joint study at Loyola, involving both the academic planning phase and the evaluation of administrative organization will cost between $40,000 and $50,000 Father Clancy said. The administrative evaluation will be a follow-up three-month study to the study conducted last summer by Cresap, McCormich and Paget. The» study last year was developed in coordination with Heald, Hobson and Associates of New York and resulted in several administrative changes, including the abolishing of the post of executive vice-president and the creation of the post of academic vice-president. Father Clancy said that this year's study of the administration will be more thorough than the one last year. He also said that the Cresap, McCormick and Paget firm is one of the largest educational consultant firms in the United States. Conducting the administrative study will be Miles A. Stejskal, who has helped in many of the more than 500 educational studies conducted by he firm, and James E. Gordon, an associate with the firm. Dr. Randall M. Whaley and Dr. Neil G. Soslow will direct the academic planning study. Dr. Whaley has served as chancellor of the University of Missouri-Kansas City and Dr. Soslow has been engaged in several educational consulting projects for the firm. FATHER THOMAS CLANCY, S.J.

Looks like seeing Javier Bardem in a tux wasn't reason enough for many Americans to tune into the Oscars this year. The Academy Awards telecast on ABC was the least watched in over twenty years. The decline in viewship might have had something to do with the fact that many A-list celebrities were notably absent from the show—no Salma & Francois or Brangelina on the red carpet this year—and were replaced by the likes of Miley Cyrus and The Rock. Wow. When even Hollywood's biggest night can't draw out the

"There's sort of an accepted myth [in the film business]," Will Smith told the Birmingham Post in 2005, during a press junket for his film Hitch, "if you have two black actors—a male and a female—in a romantic comedy, people around the world don't want to see it. So, the idea of a black actor and a white actress comes up—and that's a problem in the US." The solution, Will concluded, while revealing a bit of insider Hollywood racism?
