Depression is a medical illness in which a person has persistent feelings of sadness
,often with discouragement
and a lack of self-worth.
Depression in the elderly is a widespread problem, but it is not a normal part of aging. It is often not recognized or treated.
In the elderly, a number of life changes can increase the risk for depression, or make existing depression worse. Some of these changes are:
Depression can also be related to a physical illness, such as:
Overuse of alcohol or certain medications (such as sleep aids) can make depression worse.
Many of the usual symptoms of depression
may be seen. However, depression in the elderly may be hard to detect. Common symptoms such as fatigue, appetite loss, and trouble sleeping can be part of the aging process or a physical illness. As a result, early depression may be ignored, or confused with other conditions that are common in the elderly.
The doctor or nurse will examine you and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms.
Blood and urine tests may be done to look for a physical illness.
You may be referred to a mental health specialist to help with diagnosis and treatment.
The first steps of treatment are to:
If these steps do not help, medications to treat depression and talk therapy often help.
Doctors often prescribe lower doses of antidepressants to older people, and increase the dose more slowly than in younger adults.
To better manage depression at home, you should:
Depression often responds to treatment. The outcome is usually better for people who have access to social services, family, and friends who can help them stay active and engaged.
The most worrisome complication of depression is suicide.
Men make up most suicides among the elderly. Divorced or widowed men are at the highest risk.
Families should pay close attention to elderly relatives who are depressed and live alone.
Call your health care provider if you feel persistently sad, worthless, or hopeless, or if you cry often. Also call if you are having trouble coping with stresses in your life and want to be referred for talk therapy.
Go to the nearest emergency room or call your local emergency number (such as 911) if you are thinking about suicide (taking your own life).
If you are caring for an aging family member and think they may have depression, contact their health care provider.

Former Tour de France Deputy Director Albert Bouvet paid a visit to the BMC Racing Team before Thursday's stage, expressing his gratitude to the team and particularly world road champion Cadel Evans.
A Valuable Champion
Bouvet, a former French champion on the track, said he has enjoyed watching Evans race aggressively this year. "Thank you for honoring the rainbow jersey," Bouvet told the Australian. "You are the most valuable world champion the sport has had in the last 15 years."
Looking Ahead
Evans said he thinks overall leader Fabian Cancellara will keep the lead until the race hits the Alps this weekend. "I feel tomorrow won't be too much stress," Evans said. "I think Morzine (on Sunday) will be a bit of a shakeup."
Hot Day
BMC Racing Team's Steve Morabito said heat made Thursday's flat 187-kilometer stage difficult. "Everybody expected a rest day but in weather like this we were going to the cars every 20 km to get water," Morabito said. Mark Cavendish (HTC-Columbia) won in a bunch sprint.

Led by Steve Morabito and Brent Bookwalter's 13th and 14-place finishes, respectively, the BMC Racing Team placed four riders in the top 20 Wednesday on the first of two mountain-top finishes at the Amgen Tour of California.
Plenty of Options
Bookwalter said he rode the final five-kilometer climb of Sierra Road at his own pace. "If you overextend yourself at the bottom, you pay for it at the top," he said. "I wasn't quite good enough to stay with the front guys at the bottom, so I backed off and then made up some ground." Said Morabito: "I wasn't looking at my SRM. I was just looking at who was at the front and thinking maybe it would slow down after the first attack, but it didn't go like that." Chris Horner (Team Radioshack) soloed to win the stage. In the overall standings, Bookwalter (13th, 2:33 behind Horner) is best-placed of four BMC Racing Team riders in the top 20. "We have a lot of cards to play," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Michael Sayers said. "Any of those guys can get in a breakaway and be a threat. Every day from here on out is going to be decisive."

News National Museum takes possession of materials from Museum of the Workers' Movement
The National Museum in Prague has taken possession of 700,000 documents and other items from the Museum of the Workers' Movement. The materials map Czech and Czechoslovak political, social and cultural history in the second half of the last century. Among the acquisitions are the written capitulation of German forces in Prague on May 8 1945, the original manuscript of letters written by Communist journalist Julius Fučík shortly before his execution by the Nazis, a figure carved out of bread by Antonín Zápotocký when he was in prison and a bust of Lenin. Some of the items will go on display in the National Museum's main building, which is undergoing renovations due to conclude in 2018.

Actor minister's role in TV crime series sparks row
The Civic Democrats failed to have a discussion of Defence Minister Martin Stropnický's involvement in a TV series included on the agenda of the Czech lower house on Tuesday. The party's Jana Černochová said that the character played by Mr. Stropnický – who is an actor – in a TV crime show presented soldiers as drug dealers and murderers, thus harming the Czech Army's image. For his part the TOP 09 minister said TV broadcast fiction, not reality. The speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Jan Hamáček, had earlier described the latest episode of the show Kriminálka Anděl as spitting in the face of the country's armed forces.
Czech car production set to reach record 1.2 million this year, says industry chief
Car production in the Czech Republic looks set to reach a record 1.2 million in 2014 the president of the country's Automotive Industry Association, Martin Jahn, said at a regional gathering of carmakers on Tuesday. That would represent year on year growth of over 6 percent and would be higher than the growth rate for Europe as a whole. Parts makers in the Czech Republic should record an even bigger year-on-year increase in output, said Mr. Jahn. The current record for car production is 1.195 million, registered in 2011.
Controls for Ebola begin at Prague airport
Controls for the disease Ebola began at Prague's Václav Havel Airport on Tuesday morning. Arriving passengers who have been in Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone in the previous 42 days have to have their temperature taken and undergo an interview at an anti-epidemic centre installed at the airport. If any indications of Ebola are detected, they will be taken to an infections clinic at the capital's Na Bulovka hospital.
Buffalo to retire Hašek's no. 39 jersey before game with Detroit
The NHL club Buffalo Sabres will retire the no. 39 jersey worn by Czech goaltender Dominik Hašek on January 13, the night the club play the Detroit Red Wings, with whom Hašek won his two Stanley Cup championships. The goalie spent nine seasons with Buffalo before being traded to Detroit in 2001. Hašek won the Vezina trophy as the league's best goaltender six times and the Hart Trophy as most valuable player twice while at Buffalo. He is being inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame on November 17 and will be the first Czech to receive the honour.
At least 30 percent of Czech playgrounds faulty, says consumer group
Thirty percent of children's playgrounds and sports grounds tested every year by the Czech Trade Inspectorate are faulty in some way, the head of the Czech Consumer Association, Libor Dupal, said at a news conference on Tuesday. Mr. Dupal said the actual percentage of dangerous playgrounds could be higher, adding that the Trade Inspectorate had limited powers when it came to such checks. The consumers group presented a guidebook outlining how operators could fulfill European norms with regard to playground and sports ground safety.
Rare Czech-owned northern white rhino dies at African sanctuary
A rare northern white rhinoceros owned by the zoo in Dvůr Králové, east Bohemia, has died of old age at a sanctuary in Kenya. A representative of the zoo said on Tuesday that there were no plans to end a breeding programme involving three other rhinos that it runs at the Ol Pejeta bush camp. The zoo launched the breeding project five years ago as part of efforts to preserve the subspecies. The rhino male that died on Friday at the age of 34 was one of only seven known to exist in the world.
Press: Zeman again refusing to invite rectors to traditional ceremony
President Miloš Zeman has again not invited university rectors with whom he has had disputes in the past to a ceremony on October 28 at which state honours will be presented. Lidové noviny reported on Tuesday that once again neither Mikuláš Bek of Brno's Masaryk University nor Libor Grubhoffer from the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice had received the traditional invitation. Mr. Bek refused to allow Mr. Zeman to appear before students ahead of general elections, while Mr. Grubhoffer declined to attend a conferral ceremony after the president refused to name a professor, saying he had carried an inappropriate sign during a gay pride parade. Last year a number of university heads stayed away from the October 28 ceremony at Prague Castle in solidarity with the two.
Remote-control device maps conditions at centre of munitions site blast
Police pyrotechnics experts on Monday were able to guide a remote-control device to the epicenter of a munitions depot in Vrbětice, which was destroyed by an explosion last Thursday. Using a thermal camera, they learned that there are still smoldering fires in the area burning at up to 140 degrees Celsius. They also learned that no dangerous substances were being emitted into the air at the site.
Sir Winton to be honoured in special ceremony
Great Britain's Sir Nicholas Winton will receive the Order of the White Lion in Prague on October 28th, in a special ceremony, the president's spokesman revealed on Monday. Prague Castle decided to honour Mr Winton, who saved hundreds Jewish children from the Nazis in the kindertransports to Great Britain ahead of WW II, in a ceremony of his own, out of respect for his age. Sir Winton is 105. The aim, the spokesman made clear, was to make the ceremony as comfortable as possible. A separate ceremony will be held for the other recipients.
Government approves foreign military missions for 2015 and 2016
The government has approved foreign military missions for 2015 and 2016. According to the proposal agreed, personnel should continue to serve, for example, in Afghanistan, Mali or the Balkans. The government did not back a plan, supported by President Miloš Zeman, for Czech soldiers to serve in the United Nations mission in the Golan Heights.

High School Graduation
- Percentage of incoming ninth graders who graduate in four years from a high school with a regular degree.
- Percentage of incoming ninth graders who graduate in 4 years from a high school with a regular degree.
Core Measure Impact
High School Graduation
Thematic Map
High School Graduation
High School Graduation estimates the percentage of incoming ninth graders who graduate within 4 years and are considered regular graduates. The National Center for Education Statistics collects enrollment and completion data and estimates the graduation rate for each state. The rate is the number of graduates divided by the estimated count of freshmen 4 years earlier. This estimated count of freshmen is the sum of the number of 8th graders 5 years earlier, the number of 9th graders 4 years earlier and the number of 10th graders 3 years earlier, divided by 3. Enrollment counts also include a proportional distribution of students not enrolled in a specific grade. The 2013 ranks are based on 2009 to 2010 school year data. Due to item non-response, data for Connecticut was imputed for 2009–10 and data for California and Nevada were imputed for 2008–09. Imputations are based on prior year rates.
Education is a vital contributor to health as people must be able to learn about, create, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Education can also help facilitate more effective health care visits as patients must be able to understand and participate in their care for optimal results.[1] The connection between education and health has been well documented and spans almost all health conditions.[2] Educational attainment is also a strong predictor of overall adult health and life expectancy.[3] Education is strongly tied to higher earnings, which is associated with lower rates of uninsurance, allowing for greater access to quality health care. The breadth of health determining factors which education affects is so large that investments in education have the potential to improve health and save more lives than medical advances.[4] Each additional year of education is associated with an increase in many health promoting behaviors, and policies aimed at increasing education levels could have tremendous impacts on health.[5] Increasing educational attainment in a population has been shown to improve the health status of the population.[6]
The high school graduation rate varies from more than 90.0 percent of incoming ninth graders who graduate within 4 years in Wisconsin and Vermont to less than 58.0 percent in Nevada. The national average is 78.2 percent, compared to 75.5 percent in the 2012 Edition, an increase in the high school graduation rate of 4.0 percent.

Macular Degeneration Health Center
Age-Related Macular Degeneration Overview
What Are the Symptoms of Macular Degeneration?
In its early stages, macular degeneration may not have symptoms and may be unrecognized until it progresses or affects both eyes. The first sign of macular degeneration is usually a dim, blurry spot in the middle of your vision. This spot may get bigger or darker over time.
Symptoms of macular degeneration include:
- Dark, blurry areas in the center of vision
- Diminished or changed color perception
If you experience any of these symptoms, see an eye specialist as soon as possible.
How Is Macular Degeneration Diagnosed?
Age-related macular degeneration can be detected in a routine eye exam. One of the most common early signs of macular degeneration is the presence of drusen -- tiny yellow deposits under the retina -- or pigment clumping. Your doctor can see these when examining the eyes. Your doctor may also ask you to look at an Amsler grid -- a pattern of straight lines that resemble a checkerboard. Some of the straight lines may appear wavy to you, or you may notice that some of the lines are missing. These can be signs of macular degeneration.
If your doctor detects age-related macular degeneration, you may have a procedure called angiography or an OCT. In angiography, a dye is injected into a vein in the arm. Photographs are taken as the dye reaches the eye and flows through the blood vessels of the retina. If there are new vessels or vessels leaking fluid or blood in the macula, the photographs will show their exact location and type. OCT is able to see fluid or blood underneath the retina without using dye.
Early detection of age-related macular degeneration is very important because there are treatments that can delay or reduce the severity of the disease.
What Treatments Are Available for Macular Degeneration?
There is currently no cure for macular degeneration, but treatments may prevent severe vision loss or slow the progression of the disease considerably. Several options are available, including:
- Anti-angiogenesis drugs. These medications (Avastin, Eyelea, Lucentis, Macugen) block the development of new blood vessels and leakage from the abnormal vessels within the eye that cause wet macular degeneration. This treatment has been a major change in the treatment of this condition and many patients have actually regained vision that was lost. The treatment may need to be repeated during follow-up visits.
- Vitamins. A large study performed by the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health, called AREDS (Age-Related Eye Disease Study), showed that for certain individuals, vitamins C, E, beta-carotene, zinc and copper can decrease the risk of vision loss in patients with intermediate to advanced dry macular degeneration. However, the ingredients of vision supplements may change with the completion of the AREDS2 study. This study sought to see if adding other vitamins and mineral to the supplement would improve results of the AREDS. The first addition was omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil), and the second was a combination of two carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, which are found in leafy green vegetables and highly colored fruits and vegetables. The research showed:
- Beta-carotene did not reduce the risk of progression of AMD.
- Adding omega-3 to the AREDS formula did not reduce risk of progression of AMD.
- The AREDS formula was still found to be protective with less zinc added.
- People that took a formula with lutein and zeaxanthin and who may not have been taking enough in their diet showed further improve with the new AREDS formula.
- In general, people who took lutein and zeaxanthin instead of beta-carotene had more of a benefit.
- Laser therapy. High-energy laser light can sometimes be used to destroy actively growing abnormal blood vessels that occur in macular degeneration.
- Photodynamic laser therapy. A two-step treatment in which a light-sensitive drug (Visudyne) is used to damage the abnormal blood vessels. A doctor injects the drug into the bloodstream to be absorbed by the abnormal blood vessels in the eye. The doctor then shines a cold laser into the eye to activate the drug, damaging the abnormal blood vessels.
- Low vision aids. Devices that have special lenses or electronic systems that produce enlarged images of nearby objects. They help people who have vision loss from macular degeneration make the most of their remaining vision.
Researchers are studying new treatments for macular degeneration. The following treatments are considered experimental and have been used less often since the development of anti-angiogenic medications have developed:
- Submacular surgery. Surgery to remove the abnormal blood vessels or blood.
- Retinal translocation. A surgical procedure used to destroy abnormal blood vessels that are located directly under the center of the macula, where a laser beam cannot be placed safely. In the procedure, the macular center is rotated away from the abnormal blood vessels to a healthy area of the retina, thus preventing the formation of scar tissue and further damage to the retina. Once moved away from the abnormal blood vessels, a laser is used to treat the abnormal blood vessels.

At 58 years old, Bill Z. worried he was running on borrowed time. His father died of early heart disease. His mother died of cancer. Although Bill felt well, he wondered if his body harbored a killer that could sprout at any time. He had read about computed tomography (CT) scans that screen your whole body for disease and he wondered, "Does it really work?"
Like most things in medicine, the answer to Bill's question is yes and no.
What Can a CT Scan Tell You?
A CT scan uses x-rays to produce three-dimensional computer images of the heart, lungs, intestines, and other vital organs inside the body. From these pictures, a doctor can find a tumor or other irregularity. In fact, doctors commonly use CT scans to look for suspected problems in a sick person. However, using CT scans to screen for abnormalities in a healthy person involves a much more complicated balance of potential benefit and harm.
What About Total Body Scanning?
Questions arise among the experts when CTs are used to scan the whole body for disease rather than specific areas. While scanning specific areas of the body to look for certain conditions (such as scanning the heart to look for heart disease) may be appropriate in some patients with risk factors, this is different than scanning the entire body without a clear purpose. Many of us will have small abnormalities that can be found with this whole body image that may or may not be signs of a serious condition.
Doctors have even created a term, "incidentalomas" for tumors—often benign—that are found "incidentally" by regional or whole body CT scanning. These incidentalomas may be found in the thyroid, parathyroid, kidneys, adrenals, liver, kidneys, or brain. Finding an incidentaloma can lead to further testing or even surgery, and it is more likely to lead to anxiety and cost than improved health outcome or saving of life.
What some providers worry about is whether doing CTs in normal people will generate a high number of false positives and false negatives. False positives occur when a scan of a healthy person's body finds something that looks suspicious for disease (such as an incidentaloma) but turns out on further exploration to be benign. This outcome can generate needless worry and cause side effects from other tests now needed to "rule out" a problem.
False negatives occur when something appears normal at the time of the test, but the person actually has a disease that will manifest in the near future. In other words, the test fails to pick up the disease and the person is "falsely reassured." Experts argue that currently there is just not enough experience with total body scanning in normal people to know if the false positive and false negative rate is low enough for this to be a good test.
What Are the Controversies?
Other doctors argue that since we have the technology of the CT scan, why not use it to obtain information about their health status so patients and doctors can use this to make decisions.
The risk of exposing yourself to unnecessary radiation concerns many patients. However, the US Food and Drug Administration points out that "the radiation from a CT scan may be associated with a very small increase in the possibility of developing cancer later in a person's life." This is something to keep in mind if you are a healthy person who is trying to decide if you should have a whole-body scan.
It is also believed that this type of CT screening is unlikely to discover serious disease in people without symptoms. The potential harm may be greater than the presumed benefit. The FDA states that currently there is no data demonstrating that whole body CT screening of individuals without symptoms provides a greater probability of benefit than harm.
What Are Other Issues to Consider?
Currently, many radiology centers offer total body CT scans. The cost varies depending on where it is done. It is not covered by health insurance.
Also, since total body scanning is relatively new, no one knows how often it should be done. For someone with risk factors, like a family history of heart disease, repeated screenings over time may be helpful. Again though, the answer is unknown.

Exercises are a very important part of
treatment for a
rotator cuff disorder
. If pain, weakness, and
stiffness in your
are related to problems with your rotator cuff, a
doctor will usually first recommend nonsurgical treatment.
Exercises, combined with periods of rest, ice, and heat and taking nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (
), resolve most rotator cuff
problems. If the pain in or function of your shoulder does not improve with
these methods, surgery or other treatment may be considered.
need to avoid certain motions and everyday activities that make your problems
worse, such as reaching into the backseat of your car or stretches that pull
your arms toward your back. Be careful when you begin your exercises. Slow down
or stop the activity if needed.
Exercises also play a role when
your rotator cuff is treated surgically. You will work with your doctor and physical therapist to plan an exercise program that helps you
regain as much strength and flexibility in your
shoulder as possible.
you start these exercises, talk with your doctor or physical therapist. It is
important to be consistent and do the exercises as directed.
But stop exercising
and call your health professional if you are not sure you are doing them
correctly or if you have any pain. Any discomfort you feel during exercise should not last more than 2 hours after you finish. And pain should not wake you up at night.
Clicking and popping during
exercise are not necessarily cause for concern. But a grinding sensation may
point to another problem.
If your shoulder is sore after you
exercise, ice it.
If you have had surgery to repair a rotator cuff tear, you
will not usually begin any active exercises until at least 3 to 6 weeks after
surgery. Active exercise might be allowed right away after surgery for tendinitis. Be sure to follow your surgeon's advice on when exactly these
exercises are appropriate. Also, most people wear an immobilizing
sling or shoulder brace after surgery. You will need to ask your doctor about getting
help taking it off before you exercise and replacing it at the end
of the session. A friend, family member, or physical therapist may be able to
help you if your doctor approves.
You should master the
stretching exercises and be able to put your shoulder through its full range of
motion before you begin strengthening routines. Do the stretching exercises 5
to 10 times a day.
The list below links to specific stretching exercises
with pictures and instructions. The
pendulum swing
is a good exercise to start with.
Start strengthening
exercises only after you have your doctor's approval. Usually
these exercises are started gradually as soon as you can do the stretching
routine without pain. But these and other similar exercises usually should not
be done until at least 6 to 8 weeks after surgery.
For any strengthening exercises where your arms start
at or stretch from your sides, the motion should be on a diagonal about 30
degrees to the front of where your arms would make a T when raised 90
degrees to the side.
The list below links to specific strengthening exercises
with pictures and instructions.
The shoulder
blade (scapula) is one of the main bones of the shoulder joint. It stabilizes
the shoulder from the back side. If the scapula doesn't move well, it puts a
lot of pressure on the rotator cuff and related muscles, which can cause
strain. Also, if the scapula is not moving properly, there is an
increased risk of impingement in the subacromial space.
exercises can help you keep or improve strength around the shoulder blade to
help with rotator cuff function.
The list below links to specific
scapular strengthening exercises with pictures and instructions.

Sri Lanka officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, is an island country in the northern Indian Ocean off the southern coast of the Indian subcontinent in South Asia; known until 1972 as Ceylon, Sri Lanka has maritime borders with India to the northwest and the Maldives to the southwest.
Sri Lanka has a documented history that spans over 3000 years. Its geographic location and deep harbours made it of great strategic importance from the time of the ancient Silk Road through to World War II. Sri Lanka is a diverse country, home to many religions, ethnicities and languages. It is the land of the Sinhalese, Sri Lankan Tamils, Moors, Indian Tamils, Burghers, Malays, Kaffirs and the aboriginal Vedda. Sri Lanka has a rich Buddhist heritage, and the first known Buddhist writings were composed on the island. The country's recent history has been marred by a thirty-year civil war which decisively but controversially ended in a military victory in 2009.
Sri Lanka is a republic and a unitary state governed by a presidential system. The capital, Sri Jayawardenapura-Kotte, is a suburb of the largest city, Colombo. An important producer of tea, coffee, gemstones, coconuts, rubber, and the native cinnamon, Sri Lanka is known as "the Pearl of the Indian Ocean" because of its natural beauty. Sri Lanka has also been called "Pearl of Indian Ocean" because of its shape and location, and "the nation of smiling people". The island contains tropical forests and diverse landscapes with high biodiversity.
The country has had a long history of international engagement, being a founding member of SAARC and a member of the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Nations, the G77 and the Non-Aligned Movement. It is also the only country in South Asia that is currently rated 'high' on the Human Development Index.
In antiquity, Sri Lanka was known to travellers by a variety of names. Known in India as Lanka or Sinhala, ancient Greek geographers called it Taprobane and Arabs referred to it as Serendib (the origin of the word "serendipity").Ceilão, the name given to Sri Lanka by the Portuguese when they arrived in 1505, was transliterated into English as Ceylon. As a British crown colony, the island was known as Ceylon; it achieved independence as the Dominion of Ceylon in 1948.
Private detectives and investigators in Srilanka find facts and analyze information about legal, financial, and personal matters. They offer many services, including verifying people's backgrounds, tracing missing persons, investigating computer crimes, and protecting celebrities. Private detectives and investigators work in a number of environments, depending on the case on which they are working. Some spend more time in their offices conducting computer searches and making phone calls, while others spend more time in the field conducting interviews and performing surveillance.
Detectives in Srilanka, are like police officers, who don't wear a uniform, nor drive patrol cars, nor patrol; instead, they spend much of their time compiling information and evidence for the cases they are assigned. They wear plain clothes, usually a suit and tie or casuals or depending upon the requirement at the time. Because private detective is a higher ranking and higher paid position than police officer, it requires more experience and knowledge and risk adaptability in any situations.
Performing general investigation, whereas some are specialized in certain types of crime. Special detectives focus on cases involving suspicious deaths. Once they rule a death is not by accident or suicide, but in fact a murder, they then proceed to delve further into the case and work until they either solve it or can go no further. They work closely with their respective units, which collects, analyzes, and reports the physical evidence, freeing up the detective's time to focus on suspects and witnesses.

As if phishing scams aren't worrisome enough, there's another new twist to keep you awake at night: pharming.
Pharming's a bit like phishing, but harder to detect. Phishing is when someone sends you an email claiming to be from eBay, Paypal or a bank or another company with which you do business. The emails includes a clickable link that takes you to a Web site designed to look like it belongs to the business. Once there, you're urged to provide information ranging from account and social security numbers to passwords.
To avoid falling victim to a phishing scam, all you have to do is avoid clicking on the hot link and filling out the requested information. Pharming is different in that it actually implants software into the recipient's computer itself or corrupts servers directing Internet traffic so that legitimate traffic is sent to fake addresses.
Pharming works because it replaces the numerical address of the site you are trying to reach with a fake one that takes you to another site mirroring the authentic one.
How can you tell if you are on a real site? Try this:
· Make sure the site displays a padlock symbol.
· Click on the lock symbol.
· Check the address displayed. Is it the one you are trying to reach?
· Don't neglect to check the portion that starts with: http. In this case, it should start as "https."The simple act of keeping your antivirus program and firewall up-to-date can go a long way toward preventing pharming.

The tinniest amount of Sth swell is being chopped up by freshening northerlies, with some 1-2ft max NE windswell trying to develop.. There's barely a rideable wave on the GC's most open beaches, and to make matters worse the wind is into it already. D'bah isnot even 1-2ft on the sets. Far northern end GC beachies are the only other options to even contemplate or some Tweed Coast sheltered spots, but in truth it really is tiny wind dribble we are talking about.

Is it just me or has russian TV (rt.com) been kicking ass at exposing Western exploitation?
Everytime I see Lew Rockwell on TV, its always on RT. Theire frontpage looks pretty darn good. Breaking stories that western mainstream media is not allowed to report on.
Do you think the Russians are funding this tv station/website to win as much Western support as they can?
And is that ok? It seems to be truth coming out. I mean, they have Lew Rockwell on for goodness sake. Western Media is not allowed to have him on, for the most part.
current examples:
Too badd all of this is an attempt to advance Russia's political agenda. Whoy wouldn't you want a military isolantionist in office when the U.S. sphere of influence is one of your greatest obstacles toward hegemony?
"Whoy wouldn't you want a military isolantionist"
An isolationist believes in free trade and travel?
I am not sure who owns russia today. A russian billionaire bought the evening standard newspaper in london a few years ago. When he bought it he made the paper free, this put two other newspapers out of business. The evening standard newspaper is pretty decent, especially considering it is free. But then i don't buy newspapers but i read them when they are free. I get my news from the internet. I am not sure if we can equate the russian buying the london newspaper and russia today as a russian government psy op on the west. It would be interesting to see who owns it and what sort of relationship it has with the russian government.
Russia Today is completely owned by Ria Novosti, the State news agency.
Their news are usually a mishmash of gobbledygoock and good quality journalism: you space from interviews with people like Marc Faber to "breaking news" about Bigfoot-like entities.
So why do they give news the Western media are not "allowed" to give? Very simple. Despite all the hugging with an inhebriated Boris Eltsin in the '90s, Russia has a deeply seated, amply justified distrust of the US. People in Russia believe (rightly) the only thing keeping the US from stabbing them in the back is their nuclear arsenal: that's why it was kept in tip-top shape even in the darkest days of the early '90s. They also know a thing or two about "exporting" political systems and engineering "revolutions".
Russia Today is seen by the Kremlin as a counterweight of sorts to the all-powerful US media machine. That's why RT will post new stories you are unlikely to read on the Washington Post or The New York Times.
So you are saying that russia today is funded by the russian people via a tv license fee? The BBC has a bbc world service which is akin to a global propaganda broadcast. So russia today is the bbc world of russia? I can't say that i have watched excessive amounts of russia today, but from what i have seen they have a very impartial view, as would be expected from a news agency. Even on matters involving their own country. Although i have not seen them cover their own country as much i have the west.
That's why I (poorly) typed "military isolationist", rather than just "isolationist".
"That's why I (poorly) typed "military isolationist", rather than just "isolationist".
So a military isolationist is someone who what? Doesn't keep endless wars going?
Lincoln was a military isolationist. He put up machine guns to stop MD from seceding and to prevent their citizens from interacting with citizens of the southern states. Although he wasn't anti-war or nativist, he was a protectionist and would gladly use the military to keep people in.
I agree with Dr. Paul that it's the neocons who are isolationists.
Whoa, whoa, take it easy fellas, I'm on your side!
What would you call him? Non-interventionist? Does that label raise your hackles, too?
Although i have not seen them cover their own country as much i have the west.
Is it really their country? Have you noticed most show hosts will say 'we' and mean the United States? It's an English language television, so it isn't exactly like BBC World. All anchors, most hosts, many journalists, and most interviewees are Western. It isn't so much Russian TV as it is Russian-funded TV.
It seems to be an attempt by Russia to give greater exposure to views that are otherwise actively sidelined in the Anglo press. Not views that come from Russians but from sidelined, dissident Westerners. I think it works because they don't pick and chose, there isn't any particular ideological profile anyone needs to fit — if you're being sidelined and what you're saying is inconvenient for Western governments they will air you.
I can't approve of the way it is funded, but I do like the product.
Press TV (Iran) said that The Japanese PM had sent the Russian PM a memo pertaining to the U.S. "executive level media blackout" order of Ron Paul.
It is a shame that if it is made public knowledge that Japan, Russia, and Iran want Paul covered more. It will make him look like a foreign candidate.
Because Israel has nothing to do with our elections, like the CIA has nothing to do with elections in the 3rd world.

Like English language al-Jazeera, Russia Today mostly caters to foreign viewers. Officialy it's "an internation broadcasting service".
Also another thing: the former KGB bureaucrats now running Russia know perfectly well the value of information as a weapon. They know very well the never-ending campaign against their country waged by the West is centered around "freedom of speech". So, as the consumate counter-intelligence types they are, they got back at the West in the best possible way: "here are the news your governments and their cronies in the media don't want you to read". Part of this campaign involved the famous leaked CRU files: when servers around Europe and the US were being "mysteriously" blacked out, servers in Russia continued to host the files depsite international pressure (I personally suspect Russia had more than a hand in the whole affair, but that's just a personal consideration). For Putin it was a small but significant victory: who's the bad guy now?
Together we go unsung... together we go down with our people

I've always been skeptical of Russia Today. Of course they want anti-American people on the network (who may be tangentially correct on this or that issue, as I would also be classified as anti-American and proud of that due to what America currently stands for). I think it's essentially a propaganda network.

"We installed a 36-inch pipe in the ground at the Dawson Street well, but we have run into unsuitable soil," Trent Lard, vice president of Sweitzer Engineering, told the council. "Once we excavated, we found the soil was just muck. When we designed this project, we originally planned to use restrained joint piping, but it takes several months to get it. In an effort to save time and money, we redesigned the pipe using off-the-shelf duct line piping, but we can't use that in this muck because the pressure would just push the plug off. Now we have to go back and install a bell-pipe system."
Lard explained that the original $44,000 bid would have to be increased by $28,400 to a total of $72,400.
"We don't really have a lot of choices, do we?" council member Harold Posey said.
"So where are the funds coming from?" council member Louise Howell asked.
Mayor Ron Casey said he would prefer taking the money from the 2007 Special Local Options Sales Tax (SPLOST) or the city's rainy day fund.
"Well, how much money do we have in SPLOST?" Howell asked.
No one knew for sure, but council voted to approve the expenditure, taking as much as possible from SPLOST funds and the rest from the rainy day fund.
After a few minutes discussing a proposal to replace the city park electrical system, Posey raised the issue of finances again.
"We don't even have a budget yet," he said. "I'm hesitant to approve any additional expenditures until we have a budget. Some things we have to pay — payroll, taxes and operating expenses — but I think we need to table anything that isn't urgent."
Council voted to table discussion about replacing the electrical system at Kingston City Park, paving roads, building football and soccer fields at the YMCA, and purchasing new galvanized trash cans for the downtown area at more than $750 per can.
"There's a couple of these items that we've just got to fix," Casey said. "We have to unstop the drains, install some culvert-to-culvert pipes and do some ditching. When CSX came through this last time, they stacked up all their crossties and the ones that were broken in half, they threw in the ditch and stopped it up. Now we have to unstop it. Then there's road paving that has to be done and we have to get some new signs for downtown."
After much discussion, council:
• approved hiring day laborers to unclog the drains;
• learned that the purchase of signage for downtown had been approved at the last meeting; and,
• scheduled a public hearing on Thursday, May 23, to hear an appeal from Thomas Herd for reinstatement to his former position of assistant maintenance director.
