Why Tories are fighting over the bones of St Boris
04 May 2012
Boris Johnson is now the most important Conservative in the land. He has achieved something no Tory has managed for 20 years - to become genuinely popular.
In a city where Labour voters outnumber Tories by five to three, he appears to have secured an eye-popping triumph. And that against a backdrop of austerity and tumbling Tory ratings.
Now a new battle is under way -- between rival Tory factions eager to claim Boris's victory as their own.
David Cameron's aides are keen to put him alongside Boris, so some of that unique stardust falls on the prime ministerial shoulders. Amusingly, some of Johnson's allies would rather keep Cameron at arm's length.
Meanwhile, the Thatcherites highlight Johnson's robust stance on Europe, tax cuts and law 'n' order. If only Cameron would muzzle Clegg and do the same, they argue, the Tories would sweep the board.
Their analysis ignores the fact that Brand Boris is more nuanced: It is also pro-immigration, backs a living wage and frets about rough sleepers. A Johnson ally says: "I would argue that Boris has come up with a formula that has eluded the Conservative Party for two decades: to combine bone-dry economics with social liberalism and compassion for those less fortunate."
The question now being asked by some MPs is whether the Boris magic would work if he took over as Conservative leader.
Mr Johnson made clear to the Standard this morning he will not stand in the 2015 general election. But his words did not rule out the possibility of getting back to Westminster later, perhaps in a by-election, to run for leader.
There are several Conservative MPs egging him to do it. For them the appeal is simply that Boris is a winner. And a big, thumping Tory victory is long overdue.

Why the Boris V George contest is hotting up
16 April 2012
Set aside the scrap between Boris and Ken. Because if our poll is right, MPs will soon be buzzing about Boris v George.
The big stories over recent weeks have been a gaffe-free (so far) campaign by a maverick but distinctly Tory candidate for London Mayor, and the shipwreck of George Osborne's third Budget, which seemed almost anti-Conservative to some MPs, with its attack on wealthy philanthropists, grannies and Cornish pasties.
Unluckily, for the Chancellor, his most damaging decisions have all coincided with Boris's rising stock. If there is a Johnson victory on May 3, nothing will stop Tory MPs gossiping about a topic that usually kept back for the silly season: Who will take over as Conservative leader when David Cameron stands down in, say, 2017?
Our latest YouGov poll contains plenty of ammunition for the pro-Boris camp. He is seen by over a third as the candidate for the rich, yet stands a clear six points ahead of Ken Livingstone. Clearly, siding with wealth creators is not a bad electoral tactic. Note too the irony that Labour has been attacking Boris's £250k part-time earnings as a columnist in the belief that voters would be outraged. Far from it: Londoners at least seem relaxed about people who are filthy rich and stick up for other rich people.
Boris is 10 points more popular than the Conservatives are in London, even though Labour is gaining on the assembly, which suggests his brand has broader appeal than the more cautious Cameron/Osborne. He's also miles ahead among women.
It would be hard for Johnson to stop speculation even if he wanted to - and there is little sign that he wants to. In the past year he has denounced the 50p rate, defended the City, attacked Ken Clarke's sentencing plans, called for a referendum on Europe and attacked housing benefit cuts as "ethnic cleansing". Some of these positions were clearly designed for his City Hall battle - but others looked like markers with the Tory Right.
Ask Tory ministers who will succeed Cameron and most will instantly name Osborne. But take a straw poll of backbenchers, a more right wing group, and you find few certainties and a lot of anxiety about Conservative values and policies, plus real anger about the Budget.
If Boris Johnson wins he will be the most successful Conservative in Britain today, with a mandate from the biggest British electorate outside a general election. Cameron and Osborne have yet to win a general election outright. The case for Boris is that he looks like a winner.

Osborne's West Country wipeout
23 March 2012
With both the granny tax and the pie tax looking like massive own goals, there surely had to be a sensible political motive behind George Osborne's Budget. After two days of head-scratching, and following the announcement of minimum prices for alcohol, I think I've worked it out: it's all a clever bid to rid the Lib-Dems from the West Country.
While much of the focus on charging VAT on hot food has focused on the fact it wiped millions off Greggs' share price, down in the South West it is being painted as pasty tax - an assault on the Cornish icon.
Lib-Dem MPs Stephen Gilbert (St Austell and Newquay) and Andrew George (St Ives) are far from happy about it, vowing Cornishmen would fight on the beaches to oppose the pasty tax.
It's a Coalition policy that is likely to hit them - and fellow Cornish Lib-Dem Dan Rogerson - at the ballot box. With the South West also a favoured hang-out of Britain's increasingly ageing population, so is the move to squeeze pensioner allowances - potentially allowing Tory MPs to sweep them away west of the Tamar.
Now the minimum pricing for booze has been unveiled, and that's got cider producers (predominantly based in the South West) up in arms too. It'll go down particularly badly in the Lib-Dem cluster of seats around Somerset, where cider is virtually worshipped.
My Friday afternoon theory is Osborne hopes these measures will make the Lib-Dems even more unpopular than they already are in some key heartlands, and is relying on Tory voters in the South West to stay loyal. If that happens, it brings an outright Conservative majority ever closer.

Budget talks - by video link from the US?
12 March 2012
The Quad is about to meet at No 10 for crunch talks on the Budget. But I hear that David Cameron is willing to hold further discussions by phone or video link from the United States if necessary this week.
That indicates that the negotiations between the PM, DPM, Chancellor and Treasury Secretary are far from settled. And all the sticking points are said to be about tax.
"I doubt if everything will be nailed down today," said a senior source. "But they would like to make significant progress this afternoon."
A clampdown on stamp duty dodgers and a squeeze on pension tax relief for high earners are both set to be agreed, I hear.
But the Liberal Democrats' Mansion Tax plan that would hit Londoners in big houses will probably be shelved for at least a year, pending a broad negotiation over taxes hitting the very wealthy, including the 50p income tax rate.
The suggestion is that the price for Mr Osborne announcing his intention to scrap the 50p rate on £150k+ earners, is a major review of all taxes on the very wealthy, including the Mansion Tax and Nick Clegg's new Tycoon Tax idea. In other words, yet another even longer negotiation.
Some Lib Dems have a brutally simple way of making it add up: If the 50p rate is found by the HMRC review to bring in £2.5 billion, then the new taxes on the wealthy should bring in the same amount, whether they are the Mansion Tax, the Tycoon Tax or a further pension squeeze.
This afternoon's talks are not the end of the discussion.

A broken-hearted Coalition?
14 February 2012
Kudos to Unison, seizing on Valentine's Day to keep up pressure on the Government over Andrew Lansley's controversial NHS changes.
The union put on a picture stunt earlier on, with 'David Cameron' and 'Nick Clegg' holding a broken heart.
Unison's "heartfelt" plea was "not to break our hearts by breaking our NHS".
But with the Commons in recess, senior Coalition figures may be wondering if the love has dropped out of their relationship.
Not only was Lib-Dem deputy leader Simon Hughes calling for Lansley's head on Sunday, but the welfare reforms are back in the Lords and expected to suffer fresh defeats (ping pong has started). Also in the mix are Budget discussions, with the Chancellor preparing his set piece for next month.
On that note, James Forsyth had a great titbit in the Mail on Sunday - the Quad of Cameron, Osborne, Clegg and Cameron were due to have a meeting tonight after unexpectedly finding their diaries clear. But there was an obvious reason, and once wives found out some quick rescheduling took place.

Ed's Class War dog-whistle
25 January 2012
Ed Miliband won PMQTs today by playing the man as much as the ball. Most intriguing was his heavy use of phrases like "arrogant" and "smug" towards Cameron.
"Total arrogance! ... How bad do things have to get in our economy to shake him out of his complacency."
"He and his Chancellor are the byword for self-satisfied, smug complacency."
" .. put aside [your] pride and arrogance ... "
At first glance, these are just adjectives that the focus groupies have found to be toxic for the Dave brand. But it's actually a bit more than that.
I'm told by a shadow cabinet source that the key purpose is to reinforce Ed's message that Cameron is "out of touch". But subliminally they go further, by planting the idea that the PM is an over-privileged toff. Complacency implies he is insulated from the real world. Arrogance suggests he sees himself as belonging to an elite. Smugness, that it is an uncaring elite. Pride suggests his sense of superiority outweighs his sense of justice.
It's reminiscent of, but much more subtle than, the controversial tactics that Gordon Brown's people tried in 2007 and 2008, when they hired kids in top hats to follow the PM around. It all backfired, of course, and was (mostly) abandoned after a bit of a hoo-ha at the disastrous Crewe & Nantwich by-election in 2008.
My source insists the current campaign is legitimate because it is reflects Cameron's political choices, which Labour regard as favouring the few, arguing: "We can't use class war, but we can remind people that he has not experienced in his life what they have to go through in theirs, which influences what he does."
Some may well disagree, viewing it as "playing the man" rather than the issue. But what's undeniable is that it worked this afternoon. Cameron had no ready retort.

Making light of the economy
24 November 2011
As George Osborne prepares to deliver his autumn statement on Tuesday, the accepted wisdom is he'll have to downgrade growth forecasts and paint a bleak picture of the economy.
If he's looking for some light relief along the way, he could check out comedian Rufus Jones' representation of him as part of a campaign calling on the Chancellor to tackle food speculation on the markets.
Jones, who recently played Terry Jones in the BBC Monty Python film Flying Circus, hardly paints a flattering picture of Osborne - an interesting campaign tactic if ever I've seen one.
But running through the short videos on The Real George Osborne is an amusing fictional rivalry with Boris Johnson over the future Tory leadership. Incredulous that the Mayor is a serious contender, at one point Osborne declares: "Boris looks like a polar bear on wheels".
Whether it will succeed in getting the Chancellor to act on food speculation when the economy is flatlining is another matter.

"Serious mistakes" yet Fox is still running
10 October 2011
What an amazing afternoon of drama. Liam Fox gave a bravura performance in the Commons. Labour did not land a heavy blow, while senior Tories rallied behind him strongly.
A few moments later Downing Street released its reaction to the interim report by Ursula Brennan ... the statement talks of "serious mistakes" and implies that the Ministerial Code was not properly adhered to (a full copy is below).
Gosh. Ordinarily, such a hefty criticism from No 10 would kill a minister instantly. However the choreography of Fox making an apology first in the Commons means that the sting was pulled. Cameron can now say he was suitably severe, while Fox can say he has apologised already.
But the chase is still on. Fox's admission that he met Werritty abroad 18 times and 22 times in London raised eyebrows, and we still don't know exactly who was paying Werritty and why.
(Post script: Defence Sources have given briefings just now where answers to these basic questions were scanty and not very convincing. The general verdict of hacks present was that the smell is not going away.)
Here's No 10's statement in full:
A Downing Street spokesperson said: "The Prime Minister has now seen the interim findings of the Ministry of Defence's Permanent Secretary review into Liam Fox's relationship with Mr Adam Werrity, and discussed them with the Cabinet Secretary.
"It is clear, as Liam Fox himself said yesterday, that serious mistakes were made in allowing the distinction between professional responsibilities and personal loyalties to be blurred - and this has clearly raised concerns about impropriety and potential conflicts of interest. While the Permanent Secretary's initial conclusion is that no classified or other defence related official information was discussed with or given to Mr Werrity by the Secretary of State or the department, it is clear that much tighter procedures are needed within the department to ensure that the Ministerial Code is properly adhered to in future.
"Following these interim findings the Prime Minister has asked the Cabinet Secretary to work with the Permanent Secretary to complete the report, addressing all the remaining questions that have been raised by this issue."

Osborne acts for Fox's sake
Two interesting things emerging as Foxie fights for his life.
First, there is an operation going on to help him involving George Osborne's supporters. This morning we had Greg Hands, the Chelsea and Fulham MP, going on radio and TV. Hands is Osbrone's PPS.
Then, in the Commons Fox was backed by both Hands and Matt Hancock, another trusted Osborne-ite.
To be backed by one mate of the Chancellor is lucky. To get two in one day smacks of intrigue. Does Osborne hope for Fox's endorsement in a leadership contest in future (a valuable endorsement, especially if George is up against Boris Johnson).
Second, it emerges that Labour's defence team was treated to a freebie trip to Washington by the company run by Harvey Boulter, the same businessman that engineered a meeting with Fox via Adam Werritty.
To be fair to the Labour trio who enjoyed the all-expenses paid trip (shadow ministers Jim Murphy and Michael Dugher plus an aide) they declared it openly in the register of interests and are not under the obligations of ministerial duty.
But it is striking that Boulter seems to have been spending big bucks to seek influence across the political spectrum. This revelation does not get Liam Fox off the hook, but it muddies the water considerably and makes lectures about the need for long spoons a tad more difficult to press home.

The rabbit in Osborne's hat
03 October 2011
George Osborne is known for pulling out a political flourish in his big speeches and today was no exception.
It was not quite on the same scale as his show-stopping announcement on raising the inheritance tax threshold, but it was there all the same: a hint that Britain's historic and ambitious carbon emission reduction targets could be watered down.
The Chancellor vowed that Britain would cut carbon "no slower but also no faster" than fellow European nations, adding: "We're not going to save the planet by putting our country out of business."
This is much more significant than it might sound. Britain (and the EU) is currently signed up to cut carbon emissions by 20 per cent of 1990 levels by 2020, and by 80 per cent by 2050.
In recent months the Lib-Dem Energy and Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne has been pushing for the 2020 target to be raised to 30 per cent and has built a coalition of the willing who agree with him. But his views are not shared around the Cabinet table, and in May it emerged that Vince Cable is among those worried about over-ambitious plans hitting business. This is self-evidently Osborne's view too, and I understand Transport Secretary Philip Hammond is also in the same camp.
The major significance of Osborne's announcement is that far from not just going for 30 per cent cuts, Britain could actually water down its 20 per cent commitment if other European countries don't hit their targets.
Aides insist this is "hypothetical" and hope at least the 20 per cent target will be met, but also made clear that if a Europe-wide reduction ends up being only 15 per cent then Britain will re-think its policies to make sure the country isn't being unfairly hit.
Expect this to cause fireworks within the Coalition, as well as from green groups and Labour - Ed Miliband was a key supporter of the idea. It is hard to see how it tallies with pledges to be the "Greenest Government Ever", and will be painted as sacrificing global leadership in eco issues in the quest for growth.
Osborne will have to hope part of his peroration comes true: "We do all this because we know that the sacrifices our country makes will not be made in vain."

Clegg demands £3 billion rich tax
19 September 2011
Good news for the wealthy is that the 50p top rate of tax could go under a deal between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives.
Bad news for the wealthy is that the Lib-Dems are demanding another levy on the rich if the Tories want to get rid of the 50p rate before raising the starting threshold for paying income tax to £10,000 to help the less-well-off.
Even worse news for the wealthy is that the Lib-Dems want the new levy, possibly a mansion tax or land tax, to raise as much as the 50p rate was intended to bring in not what it has actually added to Treasury coffers.
The 50p rate was expected to raise £3 billion a year.
But a review by Revenue & Customs is expected to find that many rich people have managed to avoid the top rate of tax and it has raked in far less than predicted.
So, if the Lib-Dems get their way, any rejoicing by the wealthy at getting ridding of 50p may be short-lived once they realise that many of them may be paying more under a new rich tax.

Balls: Lead the world, George
08 September 2011
Shadow chancellor Ed Balls was making an interesting argument about the economy on the radio this morning.
Essentially he was saying that George Osborne should water down austerity measures to show global leadership because only Britain has the right political climate for such a move.
He told Today: "You can't have credibility without growth. The problem is in the eurozone, politically they are completely stuck, they can't reach a political agreement about what needs to be done. In America, tragically with the election coming up, the Congress and President Obama are at loggerheads, they can't politically resolve this. The irony is the one country which has got the political strength to change course is Britain and to make that argument in the world, the problem is, it's almost the opposite problem.
"Our Coalition has decided the cornerstone is sticking to a deficit reduction plan which isn't working, has flatlined our economy. Our problem is, we can't argue for sanity in the eurozone, in America, if we are sticking to a failing policy in Britain."
I find it hard to believe that Labour would hail Osborne as a strong Chancellor if he tore up his deficit-busting plans and tried to paint it as a way of "saving the world" - as Gordon Brown might put it.
There was another eye-catching line from Balls on the same topic, which might have had Angela Merkel choking on her breakfast.
He said: "In Europe austerity isn't working but the German people are not going to face up to that unless they are led to do so...Here in Britain we should be leading those debates."

Banking battle ahead
30 August 2011
It looks like George Osborne has an unenviable choice on the horizon with regards to banking reform.
Today it's the turn of the CBI to warn against a large-scale shake-up once the Vickers Commission reports in the coming weeks. Director General John Cridland said it would be "barking mad" to take action while the economic recovery was so fragile. It follows a similar argument yesterday from Angela Knight, the chief executive of the British Bankers Association, who said "now is not the time" for new regulation.
Both are evidence of a mounting campaign to hold back from an overhaul when Vickers reports - the commission is expected to recommend ring-fencing retail and investment banking operations.
Osborne will have to decide whether to push ahead with the recommendations and at what pace, and while he might share the concerns of the CBI and the BBA, he has another factor to balance - the demands of the Coalition.
Earlier this month Lib-Dem Lord Oakeshott warned it would be "curtains for the Coalition" if no action is taken.
"What would not be acceptable is for Vickers to come out with a radical solution and then the Government not to implement it immediately and in full," he told the Standard.
"Every Liberal Democrat from top to bottom is united about that. It will be absolutely critical - a Lib-Dem red line, bottom line, sine qua non - whatever you want to call it. That will be crunch time for the Coalition. If the Vickers Report is kicked into the long grass, it will be curtains for the Coalition."
It will be interesting to see what Osborne comes up with.

Alicia Nordstrom, Associate Professor of Psychology, BA University of Rochester; MS Purdue University; PhD Pennsylvania State University
The study of psychology enhances one's knowledge and understanding of human behavior, mental processes, and social interaction. As our society becomes increasingly diverse and our economy more global, this knowledge and understanding will be necessary for success in the rapidly changing workplace. Therefore, the psychology major is relevant to any occupation that involves interaction with others. It prepares students who wish to obtain baccalaureate-level positions, as well as those who wish to pursue graduate study in psychology or related fields.
The field of psychology is exceedingly diverse and career options within the field are numerous. Therefore, the psychology major was designed with two goals in mind. First, in order to ensure a solid background in the methods, theories, and content of the discipline of psychology, all majors must take a required core of psychology courses. Second, great flexibility is built into our curriculum to allow students to tailor a program of study that best meets their individual interests and career goals.
Goals and Objectives
The psychology department has adopted the goals and objectives for undergraduate psychology programs specified by the American Psychological Association:
Admissions Requirements:
Incoming students seeking admission as psychology majors must meet the university's general admissions requirements as stated in this catalog.
In addition to the core curriculum, which includes Introduction to Psychology, students are required to complete at least 43 credits in psychology and three credits in Sociology (SOC 221 Cultural Minorities).

142 Evatt to Dixon
Cablegram PW23 CANBERRA, 23 March 1943
Arising out of last paragraph your S.45 [1] proposed relief organisation, glad if you would convey following personal message to Hull from myself:-
We are very concerned at possible exclusion of Australia from one of primary positions in connection with food relief proposals. Our approach to and work on these questions should be of greatest assistance to United Nations.
The suggestion that the executive is to consist of U.S.A., U.K., Russia and China would relegate important food producing countries like Australia to a secondary role. Our view in this respect is similar to that of Canada. [2]

Want to Implement a Big-Data Strategy? Don't Forget the People
By Naomi Weiser
With 300 million users, it definitely makes sense as to why Skype is so interested in big-data analytics.
"We just had enormous amounts of data and it felt like we weren't using it to run our business," explained keynote speaker and Microsoft's global head of business transformation, Yuval Dvir, today at TM Forum's Big Data In Focus Amsterdam summit, about Skype's big-data transformation. "We wanted to take the noise out and focus on what really mattered" (which, in Skype's case, was to focus on growth).
Describing big data as a "revolution," a word that infers great disruption to the norm, Dvir shared the challenges behind the implementation, citing the importance of having the proper strategy, business principles, traceability, transparency and a supporting infrastructure, in order to make this transformation happen.
But what I found interesting was how much emphasis Dvir placed on the cultural changes that had to be overcome in order to motivate and incentivize their employees to make sure they support the strategy.
It wasn't just about Skype recognizing that if they wanted to change the way people work by embedding data and the culture of data into their daily activities, it should be done gradually to avoid resistance. They also acknowledged the fact that not everyone has the skills to extract and use data, and can find it intimidating. Skype needed to bring the right data to the right people in the right format, acknowledging the fact that if the data isn't easy to use and accessible to everyone, they won't use it – an opinion echoed a few minutes later by Steffen Krause, technical evangelist at Amazon Web Services, who explained that tools need to appeal to end users since "not everyone is a data scientist." And one way that Skype ensured the tools would be more appealing was by involving their people in building the tools, incorporating ideas and feedback from different groups across the company to make them feel like "they owned them."
And the final message for implementing a successful big-data transformation with the potential to impact everyone in the company (and not just IT side)? Alignment to all parts of the business, tied together with top-down executive support, with Dvir admitting the impact that changes in organizational structure had on the transformation: "You had movement and then that vanished because there'd been a reorganization and the sponsorship had gone."
I read an ATKearney consultancy group report recently which stated that for every successful big-data implementation, there is an equally successful change management program. With so many companies recognizing the need to implement a proper big-data strategy but unsure how to get started, Skype's change-management story is one to keep an eye on.

"Glee" star Damian McGinty has said he is excited for Derry's City of Culture celebrations next year.
"The City of Culture celebrations are going to be fantastic for Derry," he told the Derry Journal.
The 19-year-old revealed he has been asked to sign up as a 'Cultural Champion' for 2013.
"I'm really happy to have been asked to become a Champion for the City of Culture," he said.
"Even though I spend a lot of time working in the United States, I am always keen to get home at any opportunity, and I am very proud of my home city of Derry."
"Like everyone else I was so happy when the city won the honor of City of Culture for 2013. There are so many talented people and creatives in the city. I know that from my own experience of the music scene at home.
"The city is bursting at the seams with talented musicians and performers. Growing up in Derry you are surrounded by music and that played a big part in moulding me into the performer that I am today.
"City of Culture will provide the creative community in the city with the platform to display the wealth of talent that exists here, talent that those of us from Derry have been aware of."
The Derry resident's fan base has increased thanks to his role playing exchange student Rory Flanagan on the FOX TV show. After taking part in "The Glee Project", the teenager won a coveted place on the show which guaranteed him a seven-show stint that has since been extended.

2007 Chevrolet Silverado HD & GMC Sierra HD
Capable doesn't mean uncomfortable with GM's all-new Heavy Duty pickups.
By February 23, 2007
Heavy duty pickups those quarter-ton (2500) and one-ton (3500) trucks that are the exclusive domain of U.S. manufacturers are all about work. They tow trailers. Carry campers. Haul tools. And provide a livelihood for millions of folks in the trades, be they plumbers, ranchers, electricians or any number of other professions.
Typically, these trucks have been all about capability, with much less attention paid to everyday driver comfort.
With the recent debut of the all-new and pickups, that has changed. These mechanically-identical heavy haulers are a capable as ever but significantly more comfortable, owing largely to effective new sound-deadening efforts and refined dashboards taken from the new GMT900 and Suburban people-haulers. Two instrument panels are available, a simple "pure pickup" design that's 3.5 in. lower than the last HD dash, and a more elegant premium dash that's 5 in. lower and a bit farther forward for an improved view out the windshield.
Beneath the skin of the new Silverado HD and Sierra HD is a stronger ladder frame (made of overlapping segments), with a hydroformed front section and more substantial crossmembers. As for the body itself, it's a bolder design with the more steeply raked windshield of the standard new Silverado (57 degrees) and cooling slots in the front bumpers. Moreover, there's much greater differentiation in the way the two brands look.
The GMC Sierra is a bit more muscular with a large open grille, whereas the Silverado looks more refined with a bar bisecting the opening (and providing a nice place to hang the Chevy bow tie). The only area of the new design that I don't particularly like is the rear wheel well, which has too much exposed area above the tire and below the lip of the fender. On a positive note, both pickups benefit from tighter body panel gaps, and the distance between bed and cab has been reduced by 50 percent to give the trucks a more solid overall appearance.
Speaking of cabs, the new HD pickups are available with three: the Regular Cab, an Extended Cab with a pair of reasonably large rear-hinged back doors, and the Crew Cab model with four large conventional doors. Two cargo box lengths are offered 78.7 in. and 97.6 in. along with five different wheelbases, ranging from 133.0 in. on the Regular Car Long Box to 167.0 in. on the Crew Cab Long Box. As you'd expect, a Silverado and Sierra with dual rear wheels on each side is also available, only as a 1-ton (3500) model with the long bed. Of note, the new "dually" cargo box is all steel, with hydroformed sheet metal outer fenders.
In the all-important power department, GM offers two engines in the new HD pickups. Standard is a 6.0-liter V-8, a pushrod iron-block engine that puts out 353 bhp at 5400 rpm and 373 lb.-ft. of torque at 4400 rpm. This smooth engine which has variable valve timing to enhance both fuel economy and performance mates exclusively to a new 6L90 6-speed automatic transmission with two overdrive gears for improved highway fuel economy. At 60 mph, the engine is turning 400 fewer rpm than did the last HD with a 6.0-liter.

Judy Caplan, Nutrition & Dietetics, answered on behalf of Academy of Nutrition and DieteticsFirst and foremost start keeping a food log. Keeping track of what you eat is the number one key to success. Next eat breakfast. Choose whole grains, lean protein and a serving of fresh fruit. Start moving more. Join a gym, purchase a used exercise bike or start taking the stairs. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables, lean protein and limit carbohydrates.
Jessica Crandall, Nutrition & Dietetics, answered on behalf of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
The old rule - less in and more out is easier said than done! A couple tips to help you reduce your weight are to pair your carbohydrate foods with your protein foods. Carbohydrates are our preferred fuel source and we do not want to decrease these too much but be aware of your portion sizes and pair with lean proteins. Use My Plate Method to help design each plate of food. 1/2 plate fruits and vegetables, low-fat or non-fat dairy, 1/4 plate whole grains, 1/4 plate lean proteins. Pair this with plenty of water and exercise and you will reduce your weight by 1 - 2 lbs. per week - which is a safe weight to lose weekly.
Joan Salge Blake, MS, RD, Nutrition & Dietetics, answered on behalf of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
When it comes to losing weight, calories are king. Based on the body of research evidence to date, the type of diet that you are on (low fat versus low carbohydrate) matters little as long as the calories are restricted. A study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found three strategies that helped with successful weight loss:
- Journaling: The women in the study who consistently keep food journals lost about 6 pounds more than those who didn't journal. If you have ever kept a food journal or log, you would have likely noticed that just the shear thought of having to write down and admit that you wolfed down a handful of potato chips standing in your kitchen late at night, could, well, take your appetite away.
- Don't Skip a Meal: Women who reported skipping meals lost almost 8 fewer pounds than non-skippers. When you skip a meal, you may become so intensely hungry that you are driven to eating anything that isn't moving. Avoid this ravenous state of mind by eating at least three healthy, well-balanced, calorie-controlled meals daily.
- Avoid Restaurants at Lunch: The women who ate out at lunch at least weekly lost almost 5 fewer pounds, on average, than those who didn't. This mirrors other studies that show that dining out frequently is associated with a higher body weight.
Losing weight takes a long-term commitment-- not days but months-- of sticking to a weight-reducing diet to lose any substantial amount of weight. Coupling a healthy, well-balanced eating plan with journaling your progress, eating meals regularly, and minimizing dining out until you reach your goal, may be the three key strategies that can help you actually reach your goal.

Karen Ansel, Nutrition & Dietetics, answered on behalf of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
Losing weight can seem overwhelming. Your best bet is to make small changes over time rather than resorting to extreme crash diets which are difficult to sustain. Here are three tips to help you get started:
- Downsize your plate: portion sizes have increased dramatically in the past 50 years. As a result, we're all eating too much food which translates to too many calories. Eating off of a salad sized plate instead of a dinner plate is an easy way to instantly cut calories.
- Load up on vegetables: vegetables are naturally low in calories so you can eat lots of them. They're also high in fiber which fills you up and takes a long time to digest, so they keep you full for a long time. By making half your plate vegetables you can automatically lower the number of calories you eat and stay full too.
- Plan, plan, plan! Waiting until you're hungry to decide what to eat practically guarantees you'll reach for something high in fat and calories. By planning 3 meals and 2 small snacks a day in advance, you'll make healthier choices which will automatically bring the numbers on the scale down.
Kristy Lee Wilson - Sharecare Fitness Expert, Fitness, answered
When it comes to weight loss there is no one magical diet plan or specific food. In designing your nutritional plan, consider nutritious foods you like, or can learn to like, and that are available to you. In order to lose weight you need to take in fewer calories than you need to maintain your current body weight. Decreasing daily calorie intake to create a 500-1000 calorie per day deficit will result in an approximate 1-2 pound weight loss per week. This caloric deficit can be created from a combination of reduced food intake and increase in physical activity.
A well-balanced weight loss diet emphasizes foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats (or meat alternatives), and low fat dairy products. Focus on selecting foods that are nutrient dense. Nutrient dense foods are foods that provide you with the most amounts of nutrients for the least amount of calories. Fruits and vegetables are great examples of nutrient dense foods.
Also watch your portion sizes. Overweight and obese people generally need to learn how to eat less food at each meal. The goal is to eat enough food for energy, nutrients, and pleasure but no more. For dinner have one chicken breast instead of two, two slices of toast for breakfast instead of four, one sandwich for lunch instead of two, and one cookie for dessert instead of five. Low-fat foods are great choices but even too many of these can be disastrous to a weight loss plan.
Limit high-fat foods. High fat foods are accompanied by a lot of calories. Since high fat foods also tend to have a low satiety effect people tend to overeat these types of food – adding even more food and fat calories. Also try to limit your consumption of empty calories. Empty calories refer to those foods that provide calories with little to no nutrients. Potato chips, alcohol, candy bars, soda are all examples of empty calorie foods.
Drink plenty of water. Many times we mistake hunger for thirst. Keep a water bottle with you at all times throughout the day and sip from it regularly.
Ruth Frechman, Nutrition & Dietetics, answered on behalf of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
Truthfully, look at how much you eat out. Portions sizes are gigantic in restaurants. Look at the type of foods that you are eating. Think about sharing meals. Do you eat fried foods? One tablespoon of oil contains 120 calories. Fried foods can add a lot of calories. Do you drink sweetened beverages, such as regular soda or lemonade? A large beverage can be the amount of calories in small meal.
Michelle Theis , NASM Elite Trainer, Fitness, answeredOne basic thing you should remember is that you need to burn more energy than you consume. Just make sure that 'what' you consume is in the form of healthy, whole foods, putting as much color on your plate as you can. The brighter the better! Processed foods (most anything that is prepackaged in a box or container) contain a lot of refined sugars, excess sodium, simple carbohydrates and chemicals for added color or flavoring. Whole foods, meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and breads, etc., are packed full of nutrients, vitamins and minerals, fiber and complex carbohydrates that take longer for your body to process, thus creating a more satisfied feeling. Those nutrient-dense foods will give you the energy you will need to exercise and go about your daily activities... all the while burning calories. And you'll FEEL great too!Helpful? 4 people found this helpful.
Audrey Quick , NASM Elite Trainer, Fitness, answered
Eat lots of plant-based whole foods. The fiber in whole grains, starchy veggies, and legumes will fill you up at a much lower caloric cost than foods full of oils, meats and dairy.
Sanitize your house. Get rid of the high-calorie snacks, so that if you really feel like having something that you know won't help your weight-loss efforts, you have to work to get it. Keep lots of healthy alternatives on hand instead. If you are a binge-snacker, a bag of baby carrots does a lot less damage than a bag of potato chips.Helpful? 7 people found this helpful.
Janelle Gallo , NASM Elite Trainer, Fitness, answered
Proper nutrition is the key to weight loss. It doesn't matter the frequency of the exercise, the duration of the exericise, or the type of exercise unless you are eating properly. Nutrition comes first then exercise second. You won't lose weight unless you change the way you eat. This means eating smaller portions throughout the day. You want to eat 5 small meals a day and eat every 3 hours to keep blood sugars & insulin levels stable. It is the flucuating blood sugar levels that will prevent you from losing. Incorporate lean proteins such as eggwhites, chicken, turkey, fish with meals. Along with that you should be having complex carbohydrates that are low glycemic such as oatmeal, sweet potato, brown rice, quinoa, & legumes such as black beans, kidney beans, lentils, or chick peas. There is good fiber in these foods and will help keep you satiated. Adding fruits such as berries, apples, bananas are also good sources of antioxidants but be careful not to have too many since they do have sugar in them. Green vegetables are great also such as spinach, broccoli, asparagus, green beans, escarole, etc for more antioxidants and are cancer fighting. They are low calorie foods that also help keep you satiated. Lastly, good fats are also needed to help burn fat. These are nuts, nut butters, seeds, olive oil, fish oil, coconut & coconut oil, & avocado. Having omega3 fats are very beneficial for weight loss and for decreasing inflammation in the body. Basically, you want to have a lean protein, carbohydrate, and a good fat in each meal. This curbs hunger and helps your body stay stable with blood sugars & creates an environment for fat-burning. It is when you eat simple carbohydrates loaded with sugar that is refined and processed, that when you will get spikes in blood sugar and insuling preventing the body from burning fat and storing it more .Helpful? 8 people found this helpful.
Nichole Weaver , NASM Elite Trainer, Fitness, answered
Two words: Food Tracking. Weight loss can be as simple as calories in and calories out, let's keep it simple! Think of your nutrition and weight like a bank account that you actually want to create a deficit in. In order to create a deficit, you need to know exactly how many calories you will need to have in your budget for a normal day for your body to function. This is called your basal metabolic rate or BMR, it is dependent on your age, weight, height, activity level and gender.
Figure out your own BMR: http://health.discovery.com/centers/heart/basal/basal.html
BMR is the amount of calories needed to lay in bed all day or the basic functions of your body. If you have a very active life, you will need more calories. Knowing your BMR is a great place to start but it is also vital that you have a clear understanding of what you are taking in for calories each day. For weight loss it is imperative to start tracking everything you eat and drink that has calories. This will force you to get into the habit of conscious eating, reading labels, serving sizes and nutritional information as well as give you the knowledge of what you are taking in for calories. Track everything that you put in your mouth right down to the cream and sugar in your coffee or the butter on your toast.
Your nutrition is like a bank account--you want to create a deficit in your calories to lose weight. If you focus on cutting out 250 calories a day from your typical diet and focus on burning 250 calories through exercise you will lose 1lb of fat per week without feeling like you are starving yourself. This is because 1lb of fat equals 3500 calories so to lose 1lb in a week you need to cut out or burn off 3500 in that week.
By tracking your food, you will learn where your calories come from, where you can afford to cut back or spend a little bit more. You naturally gravitate toward the foods that will nourish your body and satisfy your taste buds while staying within your budget! Keep it real by making small, healthy but realistic changes to your daily food choices. Work with a Sharecare Elite Trainer to gain access to a dynamic food tracker that will help you figure out how to create your deficit! Everyone needs a coach along the way.

- Eat less. Sounds obvious but those two words make the difference in weight loss. Instead of two cups of pasta, go with one and add more veggies. This small change can save over 200 calories!
- Understand serving sizes. Many people think a serving is larger than it really is. If you indulge in cookies, a standard serving equals just two cookies not six.
- Eat fruit for desserts or snacks. Try melons, berries, apples or pears.
- Eat more vegetables. Veggies are low calorie and weight loss friendly. Eat them at the beginning of a meal to fill you up on fewer calories.
- Beware of health halos. Just because a food is labeled as natural, fresh, organic or "gluten free" doesn't mean it's calorie free or even a healthy food. Read the nutrition facts panel to see how a particular food fits into your meal plan.
Lisa Marie Rosati, Herbal Medicine, answered
Great Question! Some nutrition tips on how to help lose weight would be:
- Drink a big glass of water 15 minutes before each meal.
- Eat a medium size salad first before eating your full meal. Be mindful of the salad dressing. There can be a lot of hidden calories in dressing.
- Don't wait until you are famished to eat. Hungry " yes ", famished, " no ". We tend to shove the first thing in our mouth when we cross the threshold from hunger to ravinous. This can sabotage our efforts to lose weight.
- Keep washed and ready to eat fruits and cut up vegetables on hand at all times in the fridge for quick grabbing.
- Try to avoid " Low Fat " or "Fat Free" labeled items which tend to be loaded with hidden sugar and chemicals to help the " food like substance" taste good.
- Try not look at the whole weight loss goal at once. Each time you choose to honor your body and your health by eating a nutritious and healthy meal you win! I always pose this question to my clients, " How do you eat an elephant?" One bite at a time, of course! By looking at each healthy meal as a step forward in the weight loss journey, you will give yourself the empowerment to continue moving forward towards your ultimate weight loss goal.
- I coach my clients by helping them " crowd out " the unhealthy foods they eat by eating more of the healthy and nutritious foods they love each day. By adding more healthy, fresh and delicious foods to your daily diet you tend to naturally crowd out the unhealthier choices.
- A great rule of thumb when choosing your food is to eat as much " a-live " food as possible. Anything that was made by God and was grown out of the earth.
- Eat as many foods in their natural state. They are jam packed with nutrients that your body needs and craves! This entails shopping the perimiters of the super markets. Take a look at your local market.
- Avoid eating processed foods as much as possible. This means avoiding the inner isles of super markets. Your best foods are found at the perimiter of the food store.
- Breathe fresh air deeply into your lungs on a daily basis. Its a great de-stressor and has been shown to uplift mood.

Nutrition and activity level are key for losing weight. There are a million different diets out there that claim they have the answer, but the biggest factor in weight loss is calorie intake. If you eat less calories than you burn, than you will lose weight. Since this is the case, I find it necessary for individuals trying to lose weight, to record their calorie consumption.
You may ask, how do I know how many calories I burn on a daily basis? This is based on many things, including your activity level, weight, height, and age. There are many websites out there that can help you calculate this number or you can do it yourself, by going to the following website.
If you need any assistance calculating this number, I too would be happy to help you.
Once you have come up with your number, you will want to consume about 500 calories less a week, to lose 1 pound a week, since 1 pound = 3,500 calories.
With that being said, not all calories are created equal. Meaning, not all calories will give you the feeling of fullness or give you the nutrients you need to keep up an active lifestyle. To help you lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle, I suggest the following nutrition tips.
- Eat Breakfast- We have heard it all before, but breakfast is a key meal as you are breaking the fast from the night before. It is setting your day up to be successful or a failure. If you don't eat breakfast you will be hungry and craving all types of foods high in sugar or salt.
- Consume fresh vegetables (not canned) at every meal
- Get your daily recommended amount of fiber
- Men = 38 grams/day
- Women = 25 grams/day
- 55% of your diet should be from nutrient rich carbohydrates, such as whole grains, vegetables, and fresh fruit.
- Include Omega 3 fats in your diet, such as walnuts, fish, or olive oil.
- Drink 8-10 cups of water a day, which will help distend your stomach and signal to your brain that you are full.

- Eat your Rainbow! Variety is key and if you add fresh food that is diverse in color, it will enrich your diet in key vitamins and minerals.

After the first nut unthreaded from its respective bolt, subsequent increased loads on the opposite bolt then stripped the threads of the other nut that had partially unthreaded from its bolt. Furthermore, there was no evidence of cotter pin installation. In general, a properly torqued nut and connecting rod bolt will not loosen under normal operational conditions. The engine underwent a field overhaul 735.31 hours prior to the accident. At 233.59 hours prior to the accident, the cylinders were removed for a blow by condition during an annual inspection; however, the aviation maintenance technician who performed this work stated that he did not remove the connecting rods from the crankshaft. Review of the autopsy results and impact damage to the wreckage indicated that the occupants' use of shoulder harnesses would have significantly increased their chances of survival.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Reviewing first year of immigration policy under Obama
Published on Tue, Mar 02, 2010
The Immigration Policy Center today has released a thoughtful and detailed analysis on the Obama administration's work on immigration. The report focuses on all the key areas: worksite raids, E-verify, detention, immigration benefits, reform, etc.
Here's just one quick excerpt on specific issues such as enforcement and border strategy.

Secure your departmental apps
Throughout this workshop, we've been looking at resiliency and security for hosted applications. The feedback we've had back from you is that a track record of security and privacy are at the heart of creating a feeling of trust towards a service provider. What's also plain is many of you feel that these issues are not at all …
security policies and procedures
Hosted apps, a solution in search of a problem. Once you download and run someone elses code on your machine, then security is out the window. How about implimenting single-sign-on and locking down the database to authorized users, eg, staff, accounts, warehouse etc ...?
Convenience vs Security, IT staff made obsolete by SaaS/Cloud
I will be the first one to say it: Many people that work on only ONE aspect of IT that maybe covers development of portals, etc. are worried that they'll be out of a job, so we'll say anything to keep management from making the decision to go that way. Though, there is much truth to the defensive stance against the cloud, as it has yet to prove itself.
Now, on the other hand, security is not an issue for management/"decision makers" because it's "not their problem". Well, until all that medical data that was stored in some unstable country gets out....
The "cloud/SaaS" technology has come and gone in many different forms, First, the Terminal, then to personal computers, then to thin clients, then back to full workstations, now "THE CLOUD" etc. etc. There's also an option to run your own cloud, as many "cloud people" say. How is this different from thin clients, or roaming profiles? Not very.
It is a cycle, and as soon as "everyone" has gone to the elusive "cloud" they will want their data (and privacy) back on their own servers/machines.
It is cyclical, and is annoying to many extents.
Ah well.

Senator Steinberg tackles balancing the state's budget and other issues in the second year of the 2011-12 session
Tackling the balance of the state's budget deficit, passing public pension reform, focusing on reinvestment in higher education and water infrastructure are all high on the list of issues Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg plans to focus on as the Legislature begins the second year of the 2011-12 session. The Pro Tem outlined these and other goals during his weekly interview on KFBK. "We're not quite out of the tough times yet but I really can see around the corner for the first time. And my hope this year is that we not only do all that we have to do to 'hold on,' but that we actually start building again. There are so many positive things to do in California," said Steinberg. Listen to the entire interview here.

In a nursing home, like Oak Park with 100 beds, Governor Doyle's new proposal to raise the bed tax from $75 to $125 a month doesn't sit well.
"It wouldn't be bad if those dollars matched by the federal government would all go to health care," says Scott Frank of Oak Park Nursing and Rehabilitation, "But he's planning on taking half of that and putting it toward the deficit."
Executive Director of the Wisconsin Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (WAHSA) says, "In addition, the rate increase that is being proposed is entirely funded by the bed tax increase and so it is viewed as a double whammy."
Sauer says Medicaid covers about 65 percent of all nursing home residents. But costs are going up about five percent and Doyle is only providing a 1.4 percent increase, funded by the bed tax.
Frank says there is another solution. "If he could really tax all long-term care providers, not–profit and for-profit, for real estate tax and create it through Medicaid, we could then match those dollars and that would really impact us a lot."
But Doyle's tax may help him reach another goal.
In his budget address Tuesday night he said, "Tonight, I'm setting an ambitious goal for our state: in the next eight years, let's reduce the number of people in nursing homes by 25%."
"I think that's great if it's fitting and it is affordable," says Frank, "But for example, here we really only have one resident that would fit and be able to have it more affordable to be sent home. The others would be much more expensive."
Sauer adds, "We think the numbers are vastly overstated about the number of people in nursing homes today who could be served elsewhere at a more cost effective rate."
That's why they both agree if Doyle's proposal goes through, he will close the door on the elderly.
"We'd have to downsize the population we take care of on Medicaid, there's no doubt about it," says Frank, "That means less access for those who really can't afford care."
Sauer says admissions to nursing homes have increased by 90 percent in the last 10 years.
He also says on average, privately paid nursing home residents already pay $50 more than they should to pay for the Medicaid shortfall.

Here's what's so odd: Per capita income has tripled in America since World War II, but levels of life satisfaction remain about equal. Japan has experienced a six-fold increase in income since 1958, but contentment among the Japanese has remained largely stagnant. Studies indicate that many individuals in capitalist societies feel unhappy and disadvantaged, despite how much they own.
Why is this? America has an unhealthy obsession with acquisition. We've created a monster called "hyper-consumerism" and it's out of control. Large numbers of us believe that we work just to make ends meet, but we spend a great deal of our income on designer clothing, expensive jewelry, bass boats, motorcycles, and other items we don't really need.
This "own it all" mentality is so integral to our culture that we no longer even bother to question its necessity.
"Keeping up with the Joneses" has become a full-time job resulting in the Sisyphean task of constantly trying to surpass what we already have. Many people struggle to make ends meet but have a house filled with costly and unnecessary possessions. Upward mobility is great provided it doesn't turn into an unquenchable compulsion. In America, however, it's become a mental illness. We live in a marketplace in which we are bombarded by ads and commercials. We're urged to buy everything from Sudoku toilet paper to Star Wars cufflinks to electronic cleaning putty to Justin Bieber life-size standup posters. The price is always right and easy term payments are instantly available.
Seems harmless enough, right? Sadly, the damage is worse than you think. A culture built on hyper-consumerism is one in which people will do anything to acquire the means to get what they want. This includes behaving immorally in their business pursuits and stepping on anyone who keeps them from maximizing their earnings. These people spend lavishly and run up astronomical credit-card debt without blinking an eye. In extreme cases (such as those witnessed on "American Greed") they create Ponzi schemes and rob from their friends and families in their quest for success and material goods. Bernie Madoff immediately comes to mind.
When consumption is focused on satisfying basic human needs (food, shelter, clothing, health care, education) it is not consumerism. But when one indulges their every whim with the impulse purchase of yachts, diamond dog collars, trips to Vegas, and dolphin-piloted racing zeppelins, consumption becomes a disease.
Personally, I think we need to return to a simpler lifestyle. I'm not talking about giving up on capitalism. Nor do I think poor people should throw in the towel and learn to love poverty. But I believe that we need a balance between consumption and other human pursuits, a slight shift away from consumerism and toward something else.
Maybe the shift could go from "a desire to obtain" to "a desire to experience." For example, if we stopped shopping for a moment and focused on adventures like physical exercise or digging in the garden, this would have a more lasting effect on our happiness. Who knows, maybe we could one day set a precedent of sorts for a society that no longer needs $200 dollar shoes to benefit from a simple stroll, or an $800 dollar rototiller when a shovel works just fine.
Sound too utopian for you? I don't expect that we will be moving away from a consumerist mindset overnight. But those who embrace this lifestyle will one day understand that there's more to life than drowning in manufactured need. When a person can Just Say No to the purchase of an apocalypse survival kit, a ruby-studded hoodie and canned unicorn meat, it opens up a new world of possibilities.

|Computer usage in interior design: professional applications and pedagogical implications
|Curry, Zane Douglas
|This study surveyed professional members of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID ) and Institute of Business Designers (IBD ) , ascertained computer competencies desired for entry -level employment by interior design graduates , and determined demographic characteristics such as type of practice , computer use , size of firm , etc . This study also compared competencies desired by professional interior designers with the computer competencies required by the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research (FIDER ) first professional level degree accredited programs , and surveyed FIDER -accredited programs and determined how interior design students were being instructed in computer applications . Questionnaires were mailed to 640 ASID and 160 IBD randomly selected professional members . The instrument contained questions concerning size of firm , type of practice , educational background , computer applications , and attitudes toward the use of the computer in the future of the interior design industry . A separate questionnaire containing questions concerning pedagogical methods , media , and requirements was mailed to representatives of the 73 first professional level degree programs accredited by FIDER . Forty -two percent of the IBD and 20 percent of the ASID professional members , and 63 percent of the representatives of the FIDER -accredited programs returned questionnaires . The data indicate that professional interior designers require an awareness level of student achievement for computer systems . However , professional interior designers indicated that interior design graduates should be competent in the use of computer -aided design /drafting (CAD ) (73 .4 % ) and word processing (57 .4 % ) , and the majority believed that the use of computers will be increasingly important in the future . Of the 46 FIDER -accredited programs , with a total enrollment of 5 ,315 students , the majority (73 .9 % ) required a level of student achievement for computer systems higher than the "awareness" level recommended in the FIDER standards and guidelines . FIDER -accredited programs , as a whole , are currently meeting the entry -level computer skill requirements of professional interior designers . Professional interior designers indicate that the use of computers in the future will continue to escalate and will be essential to the interior design graduate . Therefore , educators must continually evaluate curricula , methods , and media to stay abreast of industry standards .

Device: Semi-Rigid Fiberglass softcast using the Ponseti Method
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Comparison of Two Different Cast Materials for the Treatment of Congenital Idiopathic Clubfoot Using the Ponseti Method: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
- number of casts required to correct the clubfoot deformities [ Time Frame: time required for the foot to be ready for a percutaneous tendo-achilles tenotomy (if necessary), or when dorsiflexion of the ankle greater than or equal to 15 degrees (Pirani=0) was achieved ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- need for percutaneous tendo-achilles tenotomy [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- total time in casts (weeks) [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- ease of cast removal [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- time of cast removal [ Time Frame: number of minutes required for each cast removal ]
- method(s) of cast removal [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- other concerns about the casting material (e.g. appearance, weight, cleaning, water resistance), and complications relating to the casting material. [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Assigned Interventions
|Active Comparator: Plaster of Paris (POP)
|Device: Plaster of Paris (POP) casting using the Ponseti Method
|Active Comparator: semi-rigid fiberglass softcast (SRF, 3M Scotchcast)
|Device: Semi-Rigid Fiberglass softcast using the Ponseti Method
Detailed Description:
Congenital idiopathic clubfoot is the most common congenital deformity in children. It can be a major cause of disability for children, as well as an emotional stress for parents. The Ponseti method of clubfoot correction, consisting of serial manipulations and casting, is now the gold standard of treatment. It has traditionally been described using plaster of Paris (POP) above-knee casts; however, recently semi-rigid fiberglass softcast (SRF, 3M Scotchcast) has grown in popularity. There are currently no randomized controlled trials to prove its efficacy with respect to POP.

On Your Porch Lyrics - The Format
Review The Song (10)
i was on your porch
the smoke sank into my skin
so i came inside to be with you
and we talked all night,
about everything we could imagine
cause come the morning i'll be gone
and as our eyes start to close,
i turn to you and i let you know,
that i love you
well my dad was sick
and my mom she cared for him
her love it nursed him back to life
and me i ran,
i couldnt even look at him,
for fear i'd have to say goodbye
and as i start to leave he grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me,
whats left to lose,
you've done enough
and if you fail well then you fail,
but not to us
cause these last three years,
i know they've been hard
but now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun
even if it's alone
so now here i sit,
in a hotel off of sunset
my thoughts bounce off of sam's guitar
and thats the way it's been,
ever since we were kids but now,
now we've got something to prove
and i,
i can see their eyes
but tell me something,
can they see mine?
cause whats left to lose,
i've done enough
and if i fail, well then i fail, but i gave it a shot
and these last three years,
i know they've been hard
but now its time to get out of the desert and into the sun
even if it's alone
even if it's alone
i was on your porch last night,
the smoke it sank into my skin

wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/31/10
This song seriously reflects my life and my best friend's life. He's a guy and we talk about everything with each other, and we know that we love each other but when we tried to be boyfriend and girlfriend it didn't work out because he moved away and his dad's was really sick but his mom nursed him back. Also, we met up this past summer at a beach/island in north carolina, sunset beach, and he was staying in a hotel off the island with our friend sam...yeah, so it really gives me hope for our future.
:) | Reviewer: Charlotte | 7/5/10
This song gives me a lot of hope for my future. It makes me realize that if anyone I know and love fails at anything, that I'll always be there for them and to look at something from all perspectives(out of the desert, and into the sun).
clean slate | Reviewer: ginee | 12/4/09
this song is pure magic. it's got this flow to it that makes it sound like liquid.
its a song that i can completely identify with.
starting highschool, being alone without any kind of love interest or super-close friend, its like i need to grow up & learn to be alone, even though being alone scares me to death.
<3 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/2/09

When Hawaii Works, Hawaii Wins
In the first half of 2011, we stabilized our financial situation by making prudent use of the resources we had and making tough decisions with a constant eye on the future. From December 2010 to the end of this fiscal year on June 30, 2011, we overcame a $214 million deficit, and for the first time in three years, we are entering the new fiscal year in the black. Still, big challenges remain.
Our Administration has gone through a detailed process examining all government activities. With the budget we have, we are implementing a comprehensive action plan to meet our current and long-term challenges.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TwHF) proved more effective than the anti-inflammatory drug sulfasalazine in a study of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
"The mechanism of action (of TwHF) is not fully understood but seems different from currently available drugs," Dr. Raphaela Goldbach-Mansky, from the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland told Reuters Health.
TwHF, the researcher added, "may become an addition to the currently available treatment options for rheumatoid arthritis in the future."
Doctors often prescribe sulfasalazine or other anti-inflammatory drugs for the initial treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. However, many patients discontinue the drugs due to lack of improvement or side effects.
The Chinese herbal remedy TwHF (also known as "lei gong teng" or "thunder god vine") has shown promise in treating other "autoimmune" disorders and inflammatory conditions.
In the current study, reported Tuesday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, Goldbach-Mansky and colleagues randomly assigned 121 patients with rheumatoid arthritis to take either TwHF three times daily or sulfasalazine two times daily for 24 weeks.
Many patients in both groups discontinued treatment, the researchers report. However, among those who continued treatment for 24 weeks, improvement in joint symptoms was greater with TwHF (67%) than with sulfasalazine (36%) and adverse effects were similar.
The rapid improvement in joint symptoms may make TwHF extract an attractive and affordable alternative to anti-inflammatory drugs, the researchers conclude.

She called the interview "no-holds barred," "exhausting," "emotional" and "difficult." Winfrey said her interview with Armstrong was "the biggest interview I've ever done in terms of its exposure" since her 1993 live interview with Michael Jackson. Winfrey said she was surprised Armstrong "did not come clean in the manner that I expected," but felt Armstrong "answered the questions in a way that he was ready." "I can only say I was satisfied by the answers," Winfrey said. When asked if she thought Armstrong had been "contrite," Winfrey said she will "choose not to characterize," and people should "make their own decisions about whether he was contrite or not." Winfrey said she thought Armstrong was "thoughtful" and "serious." Winfrey e-mailed Armstrong about a potential interview, and the two met in Hawaii over the holidays, where they were both vacationing. Armstrong agreed to appear on her show shortly after. "I stayed over [in Hawaii] an extra two days in order to accommodate his schedule and he came to visit me in Maui," Winfrey said. Winfrey's team has decided to turn the interview into a two-part series. The first part will air on Thursday. Armstrong had repeatedly denied in the past that he had used performance-enhancing drugs. Armstrong testified, under oath, that he had never doped. ON BREITBART TV Oprah: Armstrong 'Did Not Come Clean In The Manner I Expected'

Offer: Creating Sustainable Microfinance: A Panel Discussion
Moderated by Caitlin Weaver, Chair of the Microfinance Club of New York
Panelists Include:
Camilla Nestor, Vice President of Microfinance, Grameen Foundation
Bill Abrams, President, Trickle Up
Beth Ellen Dunphe, Director of Development, Project Enterprise
While Mohammad Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his
pioneering microfinance work in Bangladesh just three years ago, the
popularity of providing the poor with collateral-free loans and other
financial services to support their businesses is at an all-time high.
New microfinance models seek to make lending even more direct. Yet as
the practice of microfinance has begun to mature and expand, so too
have concerns over how to implement it most effectively. What are the
implications when a nonprofit organization offers microfinance to an
impoverished community but does not provide basic health or social
services? Can a single microfinance model work on different
continents? How might nonprofits, lenders and governments ensure that
micro-loans lead to lasting change not just for the borrowers, but for
their entire families and communities?
These are among the questions to be addressed at this panel discussion
