It was my first time staying at a hostel, so i had no idea what to expect. Getaway Hostel offered a great experience. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I felt safe and comfortable and was quite impressed by how organized and clean the building is kept. The kitchen area was pristine and the system they have to store guests' food is absolutely marvelous. will come back again.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience of Chicago Getaway Hostel! We're glad you found our staff to be very helpful and friendly as well as our facility to be clean and organized. Our team works very hard to give a great stay in Chicago - we're glad you found this to be the case! See you soon! -Mat Meadows General Manager

The staff at DC Lofty were very friendly and helpful. One felt safe and the location was convenient to major attractions. the atmosphere, facilities need major renovation, which perhaps adds to the perception of lacking in cleaning.

1. passerby (unregistered)
U create afolder called ringtones and move the songs u want.in.it.
2. Simpson (unregistered)
Yes, you can but you need to download 'tone picker'' via market app
3. Chin (unregistered)
i am using the Ringo Pro software to change the ringtone...
4. knowitall (unregistered)
Copy the mp3 file to any folder., eg bluetooth folder, go into the folder touch and hold for 2-3 seconds over the mp3 file u want to add as a ringtone. A menu will pop up; select the 'set as ringtone' option, & presto ur done!
5. yadda yadda yadda (unregistered)
no menu pops up saying save as ringtone ...oh well maybe someone somewhere knows how to get a ringtone onto a samsung galaxy ace...
6. shugo541 (unregistered)
my friend has the same phone and stuff... she text me with a crazy delight at the fact that she has finally managed to change the ringtone. I myself have only managed to change the notifications tone... which still for some reason only effects the Full Battery tone and email tone and not the sms etc etc... my friend is coming down this weekend, i will ask her then. Feel free to contact me asking by going on my youtube channel, it's easier than giving out emails and stuff. just like channel comment or inbox me :) i will try explain whatever she does.

8. valados (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 Oct 2011)
Is there any way to change the notification Ringtone with your own custom Mp3s??
9. tandaron (unregistered)
ok i have found a very easy way to set your own music as a ringtone you don't need an app or anything or need to make any special folders.
first thing you need to do is move the music you want onto you phone i.e. usb, sd card etc, etc....
once thats done go to your list of apps and look for the music one its one that is already installed on the phone.
once there go to the songs tab then find the music file you want as your ring tone.
hold your finger on the music file you want then you should see something that says use as phone ringtone and there you go all sorted.
don't ask me why you can't do this straight out of your folders but there you go have fun.
10. zypherjones (Posts: 2; Member since: 12 Mar 2012)
I tried every advice I read in this discussion about changing ring tones to your preference. The group ring tones I set is ok. The problem is on the phone ringtone. I set it to my preferred music and hit save but every time I receive a call the one i choose is not playing. There is a music sort of set on the phone that I cannot figure it out where it came from. Any body knows how to solve the mystery? Really appreciate it.
11. fixifiq (Posts: 1; Member since: 18 Apr 2012)
I have figured it out! At least for my Galaxy Ace, I don't know if it will work the same with you guys. Here's I did it.
First transfer the song you want into the phone. Then I move the location of the mp3 file to the "sound" folder or anywhere you want. For example, I put my desired ringtone in "media" folder.
Then open the contacts. If you want to set a group ringtone, press for like 3 seconds on the group name (eg: family) then lists of options will appear. Choose "Edit Group" option.
There is Ringtone option there, mine was firstly set to "Default ringtone". To change into your desired ringtone, click "Sound". A list of folders will appear. Look for the folder you saved your desired ringtone.
Your ringtone will be displayed and check the radio button next to the song you want to use then click OK.
That's how I did it! Hope it helps you guys!

For the Samsung ace: A WAY TO MAKE YOUR FAVE SONGS A RINGTONE
You know that music folder, the one that holds all of your music? simple play one of the songs and then press the little glowy rectangle with the two lines on it. There are six options, one should say "set as" with a square and an arrow. There should be another list of options. Set as: phone ringtone. Then check out your ringtone list and it should be there alongside the normal and boring tones on the ringtone list!
13. thatstrue (Posts: 3; Member since: 28 Mar 2014)
By the way, does anyone know how to fix an SD card problem?
I download songs via email because its the only way I can, the problem is that the notification "cannot download to SD Card" pops up. I have buckets of space.
Can anybody help me?????? Please??!
14. thatstrue (Posts: 3; Member since: 28 Mar 2014)
Also it can't play the songs. It says that the songs are "not the correct audio format" but they are Mp3 just like my other songs are. It managed to download one of my songs then rejected the other two that pended downloading. Should I reformat it? I don't really want to...

Young People, Farming & Food
An international conference on the future of the agrifood sector in Africa
19-21 March 2012 - Accra, Ghana
This conference, co-hosted by the Future Agricultures Consortium and the Institute of Statistical Social and Economic Research (ISSER), will critically examine:
- How young people engage with the agri-food sector in Africa as producers, entrepreneurs, employees, consumers and citizens
- Changes in the agri-food sector and what this means for young people
- The implications for young people of alternative policy approaches to the development of the agri-food sector.
Presentation slides from the event are now available as links from the conference programme.
Post-conference synthesis
- Details
- Category: Young People, Farming & Food Conference
These notes seek to synthesise understandings merging from the Young People, Farming and Food conference held in Accra, 19-21 March 2012.
Full document: Post-conference synthesis (PDF, 86kb)
Despite much praise for the ideal of evidence-based policy in African agriculture, too often the profile of certain "problems" and the imperative to address them quickly through policy, become separated from evidence and understanding. When this happens, policy advocates and policy makers rely heavily on "common knowledge", anecdote and narrative to develop and argue policy alternatives. Unfortunately this is essentially the position today in relation to the "young people and agriculture" problem in Africa.
While much concern is expressed from both the agriculture (e.g. aging farm population; loss of farm labour) and social perspectives (e.g. unemployment and underemployment of young people; migration to uncertain and risky urban environments), the search for appropriate responses is hampered because of:
- A lack of analysis that is theoretically and historically informed, conceptually sound and context sensitive;
- A very weak base of empirical research relating to either the nature of the "problem" or the potential impacts of particular policy responses;
- A limited cadre of researchers and policy advocates who are actively working on and informed about these issues.

"I regret that I must confirm my recent telegram in which you were informed your son, Cpl. Anthony E. Costa, Infantry, has been reported missing in action in Korea since 2 November 1950."
Unfortunately, Dominick and Nancy Costa, Anthony's parents, were among many parents who received this type of condolence letter from the Adjutant General of the Army during the Korean War.
Sgt. Anthony Costa, posthumously promoted, was among thousands of Americans who enlisted to support their country during the Korean War.
At 19, Anthony served as an infantryman with 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. Army records indicate he was captured by enemy forces on Nov. 2, 1950, south of Unsan, Korea, and classified as a prisoner of war. He later died of exhaustion and disease.
Although, the Costa family was devastated by the loss of a brother, son and nephew, it did not stop Anthony's nephew, Pfc. Lenny Costa, from following his footsteps 63 years later.
"Growing up, I had my uncle's picture and hat next to my bed, and I knew I wanted to join the Army," said Lenny, a cavalry scout assigned to the 1st Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division.
Although Lenny knew one day he would enlist, he didn't follow his dream right away. At 18 he was employed as a bouncer at New York nightclubs; two years later he moved to Tampa, Fla., becoming a disc jockey and body guard for visiting celebrities.
After an incident at work, Lenny, 31, made a life-changing decision to follow his childhood dream of joining the Army.
"I went to the recruiter and told her I wanted to join," Lenny said.
Although Lenny came from a line of infantrymen, he chose to become a cavalry scout.
Growing up, Lenny said his father never really expressed emotion but told him he was proud of him.
"Both of my parents were supportive," he said. "My mom cried and got a dog. My dad told me for the first time he was proud of me.
"I told the recruiter the story about my uncle and how I wanted to be in the (1st Cavalry Division) because of him," Lenny said. "She told me she would do what she could."
While attending One Station Unit Training at Fort Knox, Ky., Lenny told everyone he was expecting orders to the 1st Cavalry Division, but as he was nearing the end of his cycle, he was the only soldier left without orders and his hopes were falling. "Everyone had their orders except me, then my drill sergeant came out," Lenny said. "He called me over and said, 'Welcome to the Cav.' I was excited."
He arrived to the "Garryowen" Squadron in February 2010. "(Command Sgt. Maj. Mervyn Ripley) asked what I did before I joined the Army and when I told him I was a bouncer in Florida I landed a position on (the commander's personal security detail)," Lenny said.
Lenny's unit deployed to Joint Base Balad, Iraq, in 2011. Later that year, the brigade transitioned to Camp Buehring, Kuwait. Upon returning from his deployment, Lenny was diagnosed with severe post traumatic stress disorder and told he would be medically retired.
About a year later, the annual 1st Cavalry Division Reunion was approaching and Lenny remembered his uncle. He attended the reunion where he met Korean War veterans who served with his uncle. He also received paperwork in regard to his uncle's remains, historical information on his whereabouts, and even his uncle's posthumous award.
Although Lenny's time with the Army was cut short, he is proud he was able to serve with the same team as his uncle. "I did it for my family," Lenny said. "I feel like instead of bringing one Costa home, I'm going to bring home two."

Just one day out of the hospital, 10-year-old Brennan Simkins sketched a game plan to go back to fourth grade. Then, he would play golf and go fishing.
Brennan returned to class at St. Mary on the Hill Catholic School on April 17 for the first time since he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in January 2009. He received four bone marrow transplants and has been in remission since February 2011.
In July, the Simkins family returned to Augusta from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., where Brennan had undergone his fourth transplant. Since then, he has had limited exposure to public places while building up his weakened immune system. In mid-February, he began weaning off autoimmune suppressants and stopped the medicine completely March 20, said his mother, Tara Simkins.
During that time, Brennan was hospitalized again for severe intestinal issues. He was discharged April 12 and sat in St. Mary Principal Joe McBride's office the next day.
That day was the first in more than three years in which Brennan hadn't worn a blue face mask to protect him from germs. On the drive home with his mom, he made plans to golf and fish.
"We pulled in the driveway and he said in the back seat, in that little stoic voice of his, 'Mommy, I have so much to look forward to in my life,' " she said.
The Simkins family helped inspire a fundraising campaign for pediatric cancer research that has galvanized support from the local community and across the nation. The Press On to Cure Childhood Cancer Fund recently donated $303,420 to a pediatric cancer genome project at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Washington University in St. Louis.
Through March, Press On has invested more than $770,000 toward initiatives for acute myeloid leukemia and neuroblastoma, the disorder fought by Patrick Chance, Brennan's friend who died Jan. 9 and is one of the inspirations for Press On.
Press On's success is a result of hard work and community support, Simkins said. Donations poured in through large events, grassroot efforts and collections as small as lemonade-stand earnings.
Brennan attends school about two days a week, sitting in class with his friends and playing touch football on the playground. His first day back was a surprise to the pupils.
After the principal announced over the loudspeaker that the school was receiving an answer to its prayers, pupils from the lower level classroom wing lined the hallways. They cheered for their friend as Brennan walked up the stairs to his fourth-grade class.
"You keep fighting and you do your best and you never quit," his mother said.
In June, Brennan will travel to Memphis as a special guest at the FedEx St. Jude Classic golf tournament. This summer, the Simkins family will visit Normandy, France, where the Army's 101st Airborne Division landed during World War II.
The Normandy trip, granted by the Make a Wish Foundation, has been Brennan's dream since he watched the TV miniseries Band of Brothers after his first cancer relapse. He and his brothers, Nat and Christopher, nicknamed themselves "the band of brothers."
"(Visiting Normandy) was the No. 1 thing on his list," his mother said. "Brennan watched others fight hard for their lives as hard as he fought for his."

Mutant bluebell is one in a million, says expert
By Adrian Darbyshire in Environment
This mutant bluebell is a real one in a million.
It was found by our photographer John Maddrell lurking among the carpet of spring blooms in the lawn of his home at Ballahane, Port St Mary.
John said: 'I was walking up the drive when I noticed this rather strange looking bluebell. In fact, I didn't think it was a bluebell to start with as it looked like a plant that had seeded itself. On closer inspection I found it was this bluebell mutant.'
Andree Dubbeldam, wildflower expert with the Manx Wildflower Trust, confirmed that it was a rare mutation.
He told the Manx Independent: 'I'm not sure from the look of it what species or hybrid it is, but its funny look is the result of a mutation.
'I have seen it once or twice in bluebells and orchids, but it's still a bit of a one in a million.'
Native British bluebells, which are a feature of Manx glens and English woods, are under threat from their invasive Spanish relative. The upstart Spanish variety was introduced by Victorians as a garden plant but has been growing wild and hybridising with the British species. Most of the bluebells in John's garden are of the Spanish type but he has native ones too, and hybrids of the two.
The true British bluebell has sweet scent, narrow bell-shaped flowers on a distictive drooping stem like a shepherd's crook while the Spanish interloper has no smell, an upright stem and conical bell-shaped blooms.

Sunlight streams in through large windows that look out on a sweeping Pacific Ocean vista. Artworks stand waiting in various stages of creation, while mobiles twist and dance in the sea breeze. This space, known as Atelier Hayakawa, is where Canadian multimedia artist Kirsten Woest comes to dream, to teach and to create.
Located just a few kilometers from her home in the historic castle town of Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, Woest shares the studio with two other artists.
"I'd been outgrowing my space at home and was looking for something when a mutual friend introduced me to the two women, one of whom specializes in illustration and the other in glass and ceramics," Woest says. "It is the perfect location and atmosphere, directly facing the ocean. I use the studio mainly for hand-dyeing and as a space to paint or make collages."
Woest finds solace in her art. "As a foreign woman living in a traditional city, simple daily tasks can be challenging: filling out forms, reading labels, understanding neighborhood etiquette, or just being singled out for being different," she confides.
"After years of trying to fit in to Japanese society, I understand now that I need to embrace the differences. For me, this space is important as I can share and create under my own terms. In my classes and events, I'm competent and confident. The atelier helps me to achieve balance in my life."
Upon learning her family background, it comes as no surprise that Woest is an artist. "My father was a textile designer and painter, and my mother worked in interior design. As for my older sister, she's a professional singer-songwriter."
So much creative energy in one family meant life was never dull growing up. "When we were kids, our house was always the cool place to hang out. Walls were carpeted and mirror-tiled and semi-completed artwork was always piled about," she recalls with a wry smile.
The daughter of German immigrants, Woest grew up trilingual and multicultural in Quebec and Ontario. As artists themselves, her parents strongly counseled their daughter to gain a universal education at college and ensure that she had employable skills. "That advice helped bring me to this place I am today."
Drawing on her linguistic talents and love for adventure, she completed two degrees in languages and education at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, taking advantage of her studies to attend sister institutions in Germany and France.
After graduation, she sought a new challenge north of the Arctic Circle, taking a teaching position in one of the remotest spots on earth in the town of Inuvik in Canada's Northwest Territories. "I worked with First Nations, Inuvialuit and a mishmash of students from everywhere else."
Due to its location, the town experiences 24 hours of sunlight at the height of summer, followed by total darkness for weeks at a time in the middle of winter. "There was just one road into town and that's where it ended. Life there was amazing and it altered my perspective on culture, education and politics."
Woest was pleasantly surprised to find that the high school had very sophisticated art facilities. She was originally hired as a language teacher, but when the faculty learned about her artistic background she was asked to take on art classes, too. "Since art was always a huge part of my life, being able to teach it was extremely gratifying."
Heading into her late 20s, she returned to university in Montreal for her own art studies. Craving a financial injection and a change of pace, Woest then headed to Japan in 1998 after being hired by a language institute in Odawara, teaching both Japanese students and training other teachers. There she met her husband, an Odawara native.
In between adjusting to Japanese life and moving next to her in-laws, Woest had two children and taught English privately. "As my husband is an only son, I knew from the outset that there would be pressure to stay close to his family." To create a living space to meet everyone's needs, they co-designed a thoroughly Canadian home that includes a cozy workshop space and a connected apartment for her husband's parents.
"As an artist, I was always doing some creative project, for my own pleasure or with my children. Little by little, my language students started asking me to show them, too. A series of workshops just mushroomed from there. I was teaching activities from making soap and masks to dyeing pysanky eggs (using wax resist dye) and other traditional crafts. In the beginning, I offered any activity that the children or I were interested in, but now I have narrowed down my workshops at home to the most popular: hand-dyeing, scrapbooking, camera lessons and pysanky (ornately designed Ukrainian Easter eggs).
"My biggest weakness is also my biggest strength," she says. "I easily jump from one thing to another. I love photography, dyeing, painting and tinkering with any resource available, and I rarely focus on one medium. I think the two main constants in my work life are teaching and creativity."
Woest's skills helped her find a role at the children's kindergarten. "In those days, my Japanese skills were negligible and it was a struggle to fit in. But then I heard about the class photo albums, which are made by a committee of parents and presented to every student at the end of the year. That was a natural way for me to make a contribution. I not only took most of the photos, but also organized regular scrapbooking workshops for parents. As a result, my social circle widened and my Japanese ability also got a boost."
Meanwhile, her artistic pursuits were slowly but steadily taking over the house. "Whenever we had guests over, there would be supplies to shove into corners and hand-dyed items soaking and hanging on the veranda and in the washrooms. It was colorful, but certainly not practical!" she says with a grin.
Although Woest continues to hold weekly workshops at her home, she realized the time had come to either restrain activities or broaden them. "And that's when Atelier Hayakawa came along three years ago."
She says that sharing with two other artists means learning to give and take, but since all three have a different area of interest, they all use the space in different ways. "It's not like an open gallery, where visitors can come and go anytime. If any of us want to hold a workshop or exhibition, we discuss the schedule and work it out."
Just like an artist's creative energy, Woest notes that the activity level ebbs and flows. While each artist typically works alone, they also collaborate on joint events where all three women display their work. "We also make the studio available to other groups or individuals who need a creative space. We've had exhibitions, discussion groups, live painting events, private and open workshops, some video and photo shoots, and of course the occasional party."
Once the space and social circle available to her expanded, Woest felt a renewed sense of purpose in Japan and began joining in local art fairs, markets and craft cooperatives. "I started to get to know other artists and crafters in the community — Odawara has many! There is a wonderful sense of camaraderie. By working together we all widen our audiences and support each other. Interaction with others regarding one's work is an important part of growth.
"There are times where I can slip into feelings of isolation and stagnation with my limited language ability and cultural differences, but I remind myself to stay active by joining and organizing events in the community. Being involved is the best way to feel like a contributing member of Japanese society and it is important for me to know that, in some small way, I am making a difference."
Not one to be content with the status quo, Woest is starting to branch out to other neighboring towns. She is a regular instructor at Ashigara Art Festival's family-oriented workshop series in November. Many participants are surprised to find a foreign instructor in the lush Ashigara mountains. "Some participants can even be hesitant to join in, exclaiming that they don't speak English."
Lessons are in Japanese, and regardless of language, participants can easily learn the fun of dyeing without many words.
"I am sure that participants are learning a lot more than just dyeing. For many, it is their only experience spending time with a foreigner living in Japan. I think many leave the workshops with a deeper awareness of what life may be like for someone like me."
According to Woest, one of the most rewarding aspects of working with other creative people is the chance to learn from each other. As a foreigner, she feels she brings a fresh and unique perspective, and also respects what others can offer. "For example, dyeing is extremely popular here, but the approach and techniques are quite different, as are color pairings and sensitivities. I never force my approach on participants, but I try to encourage people to be free in their ideas, avoiding a cookie-cutter approach."
She continues to evolve and try out new activities and projects. She has just recently opened her shop on Etsy, an e-commerce site where each individual has their own shop and sells art, handmade or vintage items. Among her offerings are hand-dyed items, prints and postcards with her original photography.
She says she is looking forward to her next creative endeavors and is excited to reach new audiences in the future. "I lead a very busy and full life. Sometimes I wish I had more free time, but I realize that it is precisely the variety and the activity that make me happy. Although it is a constant challenge to keep my niche in Japanese society, I think I can only thrive when I am involved in the community."
She pauses and then smiles. "And all this has helped my Japanese, too. So I guess that makes me trilingual . . . and a half!"

Cohen Courtside: Magic vs. Cavaliers (3/23/12)
By Josh Cohen
March 23, 2012
In Cohen Courtside, Josh Cohen examines the state of the Orlando Magic after games this season. He will tackle sidebar storylines and focus on topics that stretch far beyond the box score. There will also be some analysis on league-wide subjects.
ORLANDO -- The Orlando Magic are 18-8 at home this season.
That's not supreme, but definitely respectable.
But if you look inside that record a bit more comprehensively, you will detect something rather impressive.
The Magic have not suffered any letdowns at Amway Center during this compressed season. They have thoroughly thrashed and smashed every inferior opponent, including Cleveland on Friday.
Sure, Orlando has had its share of devastating defeats (Boston Massacre, Boston Collapse and lopsided road defeats to the lowly Hornets and Bobcats). But never has the "bullied" knocked off the "bully" on the Magic's home court.
In the eight defeats at home, Orlando lost to Chicago twice and Boston, Oklahoma City, the L.A. Clippers, San Antonio, Atlanta and Indiana once. The Bulls, Thunder and Spurs all have better overall records than the Magic, while the Clippers, Hawks and Pacers are all playoff-bound teams.
On the other hand, the Magic have trounced every non-playoff team at home and have won against Miami twice, the L.A. Lakers, Indiana, Houston and Philadelphia (all adversaries that would be in the postseason if it started today).
Most NBA teams endure unanticipated disappointments over the course of an NBA season. For instance, the Bulls lost to the Blazers at home recently, the Thunder slipped against the Cavaliers and Blazers at their building and the Spurs were destroyed in a contest at AT&T Center to the meager Kings.
Some of you may argue and say, well Josh, what difference does it make if the Magic can deliver knockout punches against weaker, more substandard competition?
My quarrel with that stipulation is that it's very easy to walk into a game, be expected to dominate and at times underestimate or devalue a shoddy adversary.
This week was proof in the pudding, especially after such a frustrating and dismal performance against Chicago. Orlando rebounded to crush two noticeably weaker opponents, Phoenix and Cleveland at home.
The Magic have not had a real scare from any second-rate opponent this season at the AC. And in those eight home defeats, three of them went to overtime.
There is a popular adage in the NBA: Beat the teams you are supposed to beat and win a handful of the games that you know will be more competitive and complex.
Orlando has accomplished this thus far. It has never left Amway Center in shock. The Magic have never sent their fans home asking, "How in the world did that happen?"
Thanks to all the great fans that come watch the Magic, Amway Center is categorically one of the loudest, most enthralling arenas in the NBA. Many players talked about that during NBA All-Star Weekend last month.
As long as Orlando continues to deflate the fragile visitors, it will be in a very comfortable position at regular season's end.
For now, the Magic will go on the road for a pair of games in Toronto and New York. And as we all know in the NBA, winning in a hostile environment is a far different chore than triumphing in the comfort of your own home.
We will find out if Orlando is up for the task.
How do you think the Magic will do on this upcoming two-game road trip?Latest Opinions

Research Protocol Assessment of Hip, Spine and Lower Limbs Digital Radiograph Measurements in Pediatric Population: using PACS integrated Computer Software (TraumaCad from OrthoCrat ™).
Introduction The integration of the PACS system into many medical institutions created a plethora of digital measurements to assess anatomic and deformity parameters for torso and limbs.
A number of commercial digital software is being offered to supply the medical practioner with tools to assess normal and pathological bony architecture land marks.
The relevant architecture of the pelvis (hip joint), spine and the length and alignment of lower limbs may be measured using these digital software's.
The validity and accuracy of digital work in comparison to conventional radiographs has been studied recently, mainly with lower extremity axial alignment, the digital length and anatomical angles measurements were found to be more reliable in terms of intra observer reliability than conventional radiographs (1, 2).
Study purposes
- To compare the, accuracy and reliability of specifically designed digital software (TraumaCad from OrthoCrat ™) measurements using wizard guidance, to those produced by using the tool bar (ruler and angle guide tools) of the DICOM folder.
To assess intra and inter observer reliability of the TraumaCad software for different pediatric orthopaedics conditions.
Methods *Twenty hip joins radiographs (AP views) of patients who suffer from Cerebral Palsy (10) and Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (10) will be measured using the TraumaCad software hip joint wizard, and than again using basic tools of the DICOM folder.
**Twenty spinal scoliosis radiographs (AP and Lat views) will be measured using the TraumaCad software templates.
***Ten digital radiographs of long leg standing (AP views) from normal and from patients with deformities will ne analyzed for length and angular differences using the LLD wizard.
The following parameters will be measured *Hip joint radiographs: Acetabular Angle, Central Edge Angle, and Reimer's Index **Spinal radiographs: Cobe Angle (AP views), Coronal Balance, Sagital Balance. ***Long standing views: length of Femur and Tibia, mLDFA, mMPTA, mLDTA, JLCA, (the "Baltimore numbers").
All measurements will be taken by 4 senior orthopaedic surgeons after consensus conference for the technique.
Intra observer reliability will be tested by repeating the same set of measurements on 2 different dates, after all radiographs are randomly mixed and done at least 2 days apart. High resolution single computer will be used for all measurements by all participating surgeons.
The intra and inter observer reliability for the hip joint measurements will be calculate to compared between TraumaCad software wizard and the DICOM measurements tools.
All measurements using TraumaCad software will be analyzed for intra and inter observer reliability using accepted statistical tools.
The study will be supervised by the department of statistics of TAU for maximum statistical significance.

For a race that has a motto: America's Ultimate Challenge, the race shirts are downright boring.
Having run the race many times in the 1990's and 2000's the race shirts were much better designed and were an item to be cherished in one's collection of shirts. Not so anymore, pure blah as far as the design goes.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
i was driving to my left turn lane and all of a sudden she got near me we bumped our car i got out of the car to check for any damages she came out too and insisted on my insurance which at that time i had no insurance so she just got upset and told me to just go so i left the scene and so did she a month later i received a letter from the police department stating i need to complete a police report from that incident . I went to the police station and was given a ticket for no insurance and failing to report incident what can i do she set me up she did mention she has a bill for her car before for damages done in the past i feel as she is using this opportunity to pay off her debts using me as a reason please help i am so terrified what will happen?
All accidents must be reported and all drivers must have insurance. You knew you had to have insurance but did not, yet still drove and listened to someone even though you knew better about failing to report this.
Get this taken care of and report it and get insurance ASAP--if you show up with proof of insurance at the court hearing, you'll receive a small fine.
Of course she is taking advantage of you--if you had insurance, the company would defend your interests. This time, you are on your own. Make a deal with her. Tell her to get you 2 estimates of damage and make sure it is from THIS incident. If you don't have a major problem with them, split the difference and pay her, as you don't have any options.
As long as no one was injured, this should be it. IF you do settle with her, please make sure you have her sign a release that releases ALL claims, including personal injury, in exchange for accepting whatever sum you pay her.
This is the conundrum, pay for insurance and they handle everything versus not having insurance and hire a traffic court lawyer, pay a traffic court fine, pay for damage and hire a lawyer to draft a release. It makes paying for insurance seem like a deal. It is and that's why it's the law.
Hope this helps.

You should have contacted an attorney before going to the police station but obviously it's too late for that. You should hire one now. The leaving the scene charge is a Class A misdemeanor, a criminal offense. The No Insurance ticket carries a minimum fine of $500 if convicted (assuming this is your first such ticket). If you appear in court with after-acquired insurance, you will be eligible for supervision and a lower fine, but will still be required to carry SR-22 thereafter.

Wilbekin's hot hand from the free-throw line lifts The Rock
Published: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 12:17 a.m.
In a championship game dotted with top-tier prospects and Division-I signees, Mitchell Wilbekin did not need a high-flying dunk or a barrage of 3-pointers to spur The Rock to its first state title on Saturday.
A 6-foot-1 point guard, Wilbekin instead sealed his team's 64-56 win in the Sunshine Independent Athletic Association finals against tournament host Jacksonville Arlington Country Day with 13 routine shots from the free-throw line.
Known by his coaches for his calm demeanor on the court, Wilbekin drilled 10 of his attempts from the charity stripe to finish with a game-high 15 points and wrap up SIAA Tournament MVP honors in the process.
"He's a very savvy point guard, and he plays beyond his years," The Rock coach Justin Harden said. "The way he plays, he's already a senior, because he's always under control. He reads the ebb and flow of the game."
Led by Wilbekin, the Lions made 25 of 31 shots from the free-throw line just a day after struggling to make 11 of 23 shots in an overtime semifinals win against Potter's House.
While Wilbekin again paced The Rock with team-best 13 points and five steals, including six points in the extra period, Harden was concerned his 32-win team's weakness would reappear in its title matchup.
"We just needed something special," Harden said. "I addressed it after the game on Friday night. We know that free throws have been our nemesis in the four games we lost this year. … Sometimes in championship games, it brings out the best in some guys."
With just two of his free-throw makes coming in the fourth quarter, Wilbekin did most of his damage against the Apaches' defense early on with drives into the paint. The Lions held just a one-point lead at halftime but eventually pulled away began to pull away with the foul count mounting on Arlington Country Day's frontcourt.
"He's was getting fouled quite a bit and was pretty aggressive taking the ball to the basket," Harden said. "So he did a good job. He knocked down eight of his first 9 free throws."
Though the Lions entered their 33-4 season supported by Wilbekin and 7-foot Kansas signee Joel Embiid, winning their state title has been an elusive pursuit in recent years. A non-FHSAA member since the 2010-2011 season, The Rock finished in third place at the SIAA tournament last year after falling to the Apaches in the semifinal round.
"It's everything to our boys program right now," Harden said. "We hosted the event the past two years, and we were young. We got beat by ACD both years in the tournament semifinals. And so we just looked at it as the same opportunity as any of the FHSAA teams had to win their state championship."
GLENN FEIDANGA, THE ROCK: A senior, Feidanga scored 10 points and brought down 13 rebounds in the Lions' 64-56 win Saturday against Arlington Country Day in the SIAA title game. The 6-foot-8 forward also had a strong performance on the boards in Friday's semifinals against Potter's House with nine rebounds and five points.
CLIF BRYANT, TRENTON: The senior catcher went a combined 6-for-10 at the plate last week with eight runs and eight RBI in wins against Cedar Key, Lafayette and Hilliard. Bryant also led the Tigers in extra base hits with two home runs, including a grand slam, and four doubles.

ASHLEY COHRS, OAK HALL: Highlighted by a six-goal outburst against Eastside, Cohrs scored nine times and dished four assists last week to help the Eagles beat the Rams and Trinity Prep.

The new Botswana book from bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith, this is Mma Ramotswe's fourteenth wonderful adventure.
As Botswana awaits the familiar blessing of the rains and the resumption of the eternal cycle, seismic upheaval is taking place at the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Not only is Mr J. L. B. Matekoni attempting to reform himself into a modern husband, but after her marriage to Phuti Radiphuti, Mma Ramotswe's challenging but irreplaceable associate Mma Makutsi has joyful news.
With the arrival of an heir to the Double Comfort furniture empire and Mma Makutsi busy with motherhood, cobras and a senior aunt, Mma Ramotswe must grapple alone with tea-making, detective work and a new uncertainty. Disturbing developments over the will of a local dignitary, Edgar Molapo, point to fraud and a shocking family secret, while tracing the source of a smear campaign against the Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon, in which notorious troublemaker Violet Sephotho may or not have a hand, proves to require a keen eye and an open mind. But the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is resilient and adaptable, and change brings salutary lessons: that our enemies are not always obvious, that a snake under the bed may be an ally, and that a mother's love conquers all.
About the Author

Perrin Front Adjustable Sway Bar 22mm - WRX 2008 / Legacy GT 2005-2009
Take your vehicles handling to the next level with PERRIN Performance sway bars. Upgrading your sway bar is the easiest way to improve vehicle handing. Sway bars increase roll resistance and modify vehicle balance. In general, adding a larger rear sway bar increases over steer, and adding a larger front sway bar increases under steer. Upgrade both front and rear sway bars to reduce body roll and tune vehicle balance to your preference.
Availability date:
PERRIN Performance sway bars come in two different sizes. 22mm and 25mm. Driving enthusiast will enjoy the feel of a 22mm bar while true racers will like the rigidity of the 25mm.
PERRIN Performance sway bars incorporate multiple end link mounting holes which allow the installer to custom tailor your driving experience. This PERRIN sway bar increase stiffness by a minimum of 50% overstock. Adjusting the end link mounting position on this sway bar can increase that stiffness to as much at 215% over stock.
Perrin Performance sway bars feature centering rings that prevent sway bar movement in hard cornering. This keeps your sway bar centered and ready for the next corner.
PERRIN sway bars are CNC precision bent from solid 4130 chromoly steel. The entire bar is heavily powder coated to fight corrosion and give it a great red finish. We laser cut and MIG weld our bar ends for precise placement and superior strength. This type of bar end will never fail and offer you a lifetime of superior handling.
All PERRIN sway bars include custom polyurethane bushings for a crisp response and better turn in. Special spiral cut pockets carved into the bushing surface extends the interval between re-greasing.
A sway bar is an automobile suspension device. It connects opposite (left/right) wheels together through short lever arms linked by a torsion spring. A sway bar increases the suspension's roll stiffness—its resistance to roll in turns, independent of its spring rate in the vertical direction.

Smooth Move: Camel Targets Hipsters With "Williamsburg" Cigarettes
Smooth move, Camel. You may think you're being smart by touting Williamsburg, the Brooklyn hipster enclave, on your new cigarette packaging. You think you're appealing to youngsters who feed on Brooklyn pride and the idea of "authenticity." But newsflash: hipsters hate being called hipsters and probably aren't going to associate themselves with products that imply it. In fact, if you want to rope in the 20-something skinny jeans crowd, you should probably make yourself as completely uncool as possible. [Refinery 29]

The open letter from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella shows that the Ballmer era is indeed over and he's ready to shake some trees, rock some boats, insert your favorite cliché here, to change course at that company.
The letter makes it pretty clear that Nadella is looking to reverse course on what Ballmer was doing, particularly at the end of his run. It doesn't get clearer than in this statement:
"More recently, we have described ourselves as a 'devices and services' company. While the devices and services description was helpful in starting our transformation, we now need to hone in on our unique strategy."
Translation: get lost Ballmer, go play with your new basketball team.
Nadella is basically saying that "Devices and Services" is not his vision; software and productivity in a new mobile-first, cloud-first market is. I would not be surprised if the screwball reorg done by Ballmer just before he left is completely undone, to which I say good.
Changes are coming because Nadella said it will happen. "Over the course of July, the Senior Leadership Team and I will share more on the engineering and organization changes we believe are needed," he wrote.
Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference takes place next week in Washington, D.C., and the Microsoft Global Exchange (MGX) conference takes place one week later. That's a conference for Microsoft employees, so if there's a time for Nadella to preach the new gospel, that would be it.
Nadella also hinted at faster release cycles, which Ballmer had already begun to accelerate before his departure. "Software Engineering will evolve so that information can travel more quickly, with fewer breakpoints between the envisioning of a product or service and a quality delivery to customers. In making these changes we are getting closer to the customer and pushing more accountability throughout the organization," he wrote
His reference to accountability throughout the organization and the possibility of a reorg could mean layoffs. Microsoft now tops out at 125,000 employees after the Nokia deal. That company could use a trimming.
Quite a bit has changed at Microsoft since he took the helm, and I interpret this letter to mean a lot more is coming.

For those of you wondering, I looked, and Bhut Jolokia, a.k.a. the infamous Ghost Pepper, will indeed make an appearance. I'm gonna check out the Chocolate Beauty Hybrid, considered one of the sweetest bells available. Representing the
other vegetables fruit, we go from a miniature Yellow Pear tomato all the way to the Big Zac, which start at 3 pounds for one. Holy caprese salad, Batman!

Playoff waters still murky in Section 4-AAA
With the baseball season winding down to its final games, the playoff picture for several teams in the Mid-Mon Valley is still not clear.
And while the playoff waters are murky in many areas, they are downright muddy in Section 4 AAA, where four teams are very much alive for two spots.
The top three teams in each section qualify for the WPIAL playoffs, plus all ties.
All four teams control their own destiny because they all have games remaining against one another.
Tied for second at 6-4 in the section are Belle Vernon Area, Elizabeth Forward and Thomas Jefferson. One game back is West Mifflin.
BVA (10-7, 6-4) hosts Carrick (1-10, 1-10) today before closing the season at EF (12-5, 6-4).
EF, meanwhile, goes to TJ (10-7, 6-4) today before hosting BVA.
TJ has EF today and goes to West Mifflin (9-7, 5-5) Monday.
West Mifflin goes to Ringgold (3-10, 1-9) today and then hosts TJ Monday.
Any two of those teams that can get hot and pull off sweeps will be in the playoffs.
"We knew when we lost to South Park (last week), every game we had from there was a playoff game for us," said BVA coach Dan Palm.
EF is in the best position because it plays the two teams it is tied with. If the Warriors can sweep, they will finish in second place behind unbeaten South Park (18-0, 11-0).
The possibility exists that, depending on how each team's final two games turn out, all four could lend up 7-5 and qualify.
In Section 2 AA, Bentworth (8-5, 7-5) is currently in fourth place in the section. However, if the Bearcats win their final two games against Burgettstown (5-8, 4-8) and Beth-Center (6-7, 6-6) and either Brownsville (11-4, 8-4) or Chartiers-Houston (10-6, 8-4) lose one of its final two games, Bentworth would make the playoffs in its first year after moving up from Class A.
In Section 2 A, while Monessen (6-9, 5-4) is still celebrating making the playoffs for the first time in 26 years, Frazier is keeping its fingers crossed.
The Commodores (6-8, 4-5) can get into the Class A tourney with a win over Geibel (1-11, 1-8) today and a Monessen loss to Bishop Canevin (6-3, 6-2) on Monday.
Like Monessen, Yough is celebrating a playoff berth for the first time in several years.
