Biden admits gun push has faltered
Vice President Joe Biden insisted to a subdued audience Tuesday that he and President Barack Obama "haven't given up" on gun control.
But his remarks came at the first White House event since the Senate's failed April 17 background checks vote. And all that he had to show gun control supporters by way of progress was a list of completed or mostly completed executive actions — and a set of new guidebooks for churches and schools on how to deal with a mass shooting situation.
Story Continued Below
Over the past two months, the White House has dramatically dialed back its gun push.
( PHOTOS: Politicians speak out on gun control)
Biden chief of staff Bruce Reed's Friday White House strategy meetings for representatives of gun control groups ended weeks ago. The barnstorming tour Biden pledged would pressure senators who voted against background checks hasn't materialized.
No new sponsors or votes for the background check bill have emerged publicly. Neither has any sort of timeline for when Congress might take up the measure again.
"I had hoped we would have assembled in this auditorium earlier," Biden said. "I had hoped we would have assembled here a couple of months ago celebrating the first in a number of victories that we will have."
( PHOTOS: Stars call for gun control)
So Biden conceded the obvious Tuesday: the White House gun push in Congress has faltered.
Instead, Biden claimed a partial victory based on what he described as an evolution in the mood of the country. More voters, he said, are willing to punish members of Congress who oppose gun control measures.

"I assure you, the one thing that each of us have been saying to our colleagues about these votes is the country has changed," Biden said. "You will pay a price, a political price, for not, for not getting engaged and dealing with gun safety."
Yet Tuesday's event illustrated how the White House and the gun control groups with which it has worked closely since January have grown apart: The groups received no briefing before the White House unveiled its report to the press on Monday.
The White House's public silence over the last two months has essentially ceded the issue to these outside groups.
"I don't know how much there is for [the White House] to do," said a representative from one of the groups that had been meeting with Reed. "The president doesn't twist arms and have lunch, there's no money to put a post office or a research facility in somebody's district. What do you do other than travel places — and now they don't even travel."
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said after Biden's speech that the White House now has less influence on senators than the gun control groups do.
"The five or six senators who are going to move our way aren't going to do so because of pressure from the White House," Murphy said. "They're going to do so because of political pressure from outside groups who have millions of dollars to spend against them."
Yet Murphy said it will still be necessary for Obama and Biden to speak more about gun control.
"The White House should be talking about this every chance that they get," he said. "I'm not disappointed in the level of interest, but if I could have the president and vice president talking about gun violence every day, I'd be happy."

Genetic Analysis: Psychiatric And Other Complex Disorders
The goal of the GCD program is to train postdoctoral (M.D. and Ph.D.) and predoctoral fellows in genetic epidemiology and statistical analysis of psychiatric and other complex diseases. Our mission is to train people who will be aware of all aspects of human genetic studies: study design, clinical aspects, phenotype definition, laboratory issues, and statistical analysis. The field of genetics is changing rapidly, and successful investigators must be competent in a broad array of techniques, must be able to speak the languages of fields outside their own, and must be able to collaborate effectively with scientists in other fields. Training has both a didactic and a research component. The didactic component includes both an academic program and a series of practical laboratory rotations.
The academic program comprises a series of academic courses in human genetics, epidemiology, statistical genetics, computer simulations, research communication skills, and responsible conduct of research. The laboratory rotations take place in a number of laboratories at Columbia University, where a rich and broad variety of genetic studies are being carried out. In the research component each Fellow works closely with a Preceptor on an independent research project of the Fellow's choosing; the Fellow prepares a clearly written research proposal, carry out the proposal, prepare an oral description of the study and its results, and prepare a publishable manuscript based on the completed study.
At the end of training, Fellows should understand: the biological underpinnings of genetic influences on disease risk; how to formulate testable hypotheses in human genetics and how to design studies to test those hypotheses; the critical importance of phenotype definition; the factors that go into selecting appropriate samples; issues of responsible conduct of research and Good Clinical Practice; the mathematical underpinnings of genetic analysis, including familial aggregation studies, twin studies, and segregation, linkage, and association analysis; laboratory techniques such as genotyping and sequencing, extracting DNA from blood, PCR, etc.; proper data management of genetic and clinical data through the use of a data base management system; how to use current genetic analysis programs, to interpret the results, and to test and evaluate new methods of genetic analysis as they become available; and microarray technology and other current molecular-biological techniques.

DOHA, Qatar -- Ryder Cup teammates Paul Lawrie and Justin Rose return to the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters this week with vastly different records in the event.
Lawrie is the defending champion and two-time winner, while world No. 4 Rose has failed even to make it to the weekend in four previous visits.
It is something the 32-year-old had wiped from his memory – and probably didn't appreciate being informed about on the eve of the tournament's Wednesday start.
"Have I never made the cut here? Haven't I? That's brilliant," an incredulous Rose told European Tour Radio after moving on from Abu Dhabi, where he finished runner-up to Jamie Donaldson on Sunday.
"I think that's one of my strengths. I don't tend to remember these things," he said. "Hopefully I can break my duck this year. Let's start there – that will be a decent goal."
Rose has also yet to score under 70 at the Doha Golf Club since making his debut in 1999.
That was one of a nightmare 21 successive missed cuts at the start of his professional career. But it was also the week that saw Lawrie triumph and five months later, of course, he also won the British Open at Carnoustie.
Last season the event had to be reduced to 54 holes because of strong winds. But in between the delays, Lawrie shot rounds of 69, 67 and then a superb closing 65 to beat Sweden's Peter Hanson and Australian Jason Day by four.
"It's always a place I enjoy playing," he said. "The greens always roll well and most of the time I control the ball well in the wind. It's very seldom you get a day with no wind at all and I have lots of good memories."
Lawrie's second victory helped secure his second Ryder Cup berth 13 years after the first, and both he and Rose grabbed crucial singles wins in Chicago as Europe staged its unforgettable fightback.
Rose returned to fourth place in the world rankings on Monday after losing that spot seven days earlier when Louis Oosthuizen won the Volvo Golf Champions.
The South African didn't play in Abu Dhabi, but is back in action now. He and Rose, the highest-ranked players in the field, go head-to-head in the opening two rounds just as Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods did last week.
Hopefully for them, the outcome will be different. McIlroy and Woods both missed the cut, of course.
Sergio Garcia makes his first appearance of the season and among those also taking part are reigning British Open champion Ernie Els, Martin Kaymer, Paul Casey and American Ryder Cup player Jason Dufner, who tied for ninth last week in the first leg of the circuit's Middle East Swing.

|Handsome Dan IX
Born September 11, 1953 and owned by John E. Sanders, Assistant Professor of Geology, after an earlier custody by physical education instructor, Alfred E. Scholz and Varsity Crew Coach Jim Rothschmidt. He made his mascot debut at the age of six weeks. The following spring, the dog nearly perished while attending to his crew duties. He missed a step while on the docks at Derby, and tumbled head-first into the Housatonic. Varied reports are that the dog was found head-first in the mud, with his tail wagging, and unable to move. Another is that he was doing a submarine bit by walking along the bottom towards shore in several feet of water. In any event, he was rescued, resuscitated and moved to a home on higher ground, with preference towards drier terrain at the Bowl. At his death, an autopsy reveled he succumbed to acute nephrosis with scarcely any kidney left. "His only other difficulty was having an enlarged athlete's, if you please, heart!" and he was also noted for his "dry jowls". (J.E. Sanders)

Most mutual funds are open ended, which means the investment company can issue and redeem fund shares to meet investor demand. By contrast, closed-end funds issue a fixed number of shares in an initial public offering (IPO), and investors who want to purchase shares after the IPO must do so on a secondary market, such as the New York Stock Exchange. In this regard, closed-end funds are more similar to stocks.
Although closed-end funds are much less common than open-end funds, they tend to be favored by more affluent investors, including many retirees (see chart). This interest is likely due to the potential for a regular income stream that may be higher than what might be obtained from a traditional mutual fund holding similar securities.
Unlike open-end funds, closed-end funds do not have to maintain cash reserves or sell securities to meet redemptions, so fund managers can invest in less liquid securities and use leveraging methods usually avoided by mutual funds. This approach may provide higher income but is associated with greater risk than open-end mutual funds.
Premium or Discount?
The market price of closed-end fund shares trading on a secondary market is determined by supply and demand, not by the net asset value (NAV) of the shares. The trading price may be higher or lower than the NAV. If the price is higher, shares are selling at a "premium." If the price is lower, shares are selling at a "discount." Although buying at a discount may be appealing, a lower discount does not necessarily make the fund a better value. It's important to understand the reasons for the valuation and assess the likelihood that the fund may meet its objectives, including any potential income stream.
Closed-end funds incur broker trading fees and charge management fees. They are generally not redeemable; the investment company does not have to buy back shares to fulfill investor demand. The value of all investments fluctuates with market conditions. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Mutual funds are sold by prospectus. Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus, which contains this and other information about the investment company, can be obtained from your financial professional. Be sure to read the prospectus carefully before deciding whether to invest.

Regardless of the sport, we can help the athlete to keep enjoying it by building strength, improving balance and flexibility, and increasing endurance Athletes of all ages and skill levels who have experienced pain or suffered an injury while participating in a sport can find state-of-the-art clinical care within the Spaulding Rehabilitation Network. As a leader in rehabilitative care, we use the latest technology and research to treat a range of conditions, helping patients return to their activities as quickly and safely as possible.
A simple change in training or a small correction in equipment may be all that is needed. If the evaluation shows a more serious problem, we will work with the patient and physician to create a comprehensive plan of therapy.
In addition, a Sports Concussion Clinic for children and adolescents is offered at Spaulding Outpatient Centers Orleans and Yarmouth. This integrated program combines a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation by a physician, the use of the ImPACT neurocognitive test, and individualized therapy and education plans to promote full recovery.
Using a multidisciplinary team approach, each patient at the Spaulding Network is evaluated individually to define their rehabilitative needs. This includes a thorough exam including a medical history, objective measures, and any necessary tests to determine the mechanical dysfunctions related to the injury. A plan of care is then developed with you to addresses any problems, impairments, and functional limitations. Goals are set for you with the aim of achieving the highest functional level you can. The inclusion of a home exercise program is part of all plans as part of the maintenance of progress made in the clinical environment.
Communication is vital to the sports injury rehabilitation patient's treatment team. The Spaulding Network ensures that there is regular communication between the therapist, athletic trainer, and your physician. This communication is critical to help ensure your treatments are advanced appropriately and that all involved are helping you return to sport as quickly and safely as possible.
Spaulding's program covers a range of conditions, including acute sports injuries, strains, sprains, muscle, tendon and ligament tears and repairs, tendonitis, hand injuries, shoulder dislocation and surgery, and foot and ankle dysfunction.
Our treatment plans start with hands-on care combined with customized therapy that often include:
In addition to rehabilitation following injury, our physical therapists can improve the performance of athletes of all ages by:
Our team consists of therapists, board-certified physicians, nutritionists, and spine care specialists; some team members are also certified athletic trainers.
The Sports Concussion Clinic team is led by a physiatrist with an extensive background in exercise physiology and a special interest in sports medicine, working closely with specially trained physical therapists (occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists as needed) to develop and implement each patient's treatment plan. In addition, support staff are trained to administer ImPACT testing.
Andrew Judelson, M.D., Program Director, Sports Concussion Clinic
Spaulding is dedicated to using the most innovative therapies in the field of Sports Medicine. In one emerging treatment, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is used to accelerate healing of tendon, ligament and bone injuries. To prepare the PRP, the patient's blood is drawn, and processed in a centrifuge to produce a concentrated platelet enriched and activated mixture. These concentrated, healing platelet cells are then injected into painful ligaments and tendons weakened by injury, kick-starting the injury site into healing mode.

I have been accused of map hacking in a game of Ninjas On Battle.Net/Ninjas In Pyjamas (probably going to quit the game altogether, but that's besides the point).
Link: http://z6.invisionfree.com/wc3nob/index ... wtopic=572
Most of the forums is incredible spam; I mean spam beyond spam. I've now a bad rep with these people because of a recent false accusation of MH'ing which is based on a screen shot in the first post which people base my MH'ing on.
1) I have terrain set to the second option (Alt+T)
2) I have allies set to the second option (Alt+A)
3) I have never, do not, and would never map hack.
4) Most of the accusations are just flame like "of curs u mh'd" (one-line-posts), and "he totally did".
The only thing I care about now, is to get out of their with being proved not an MH'er. If there is something I'm missing (for ex: one claims creeps in the mid are visible), please let me know, anything you find.

If it exists, there is porn of it — no exceptions.
Allegedly originating from and popularized by the imageboard 4chan, this was the very first near-universally agreed-upon Rule of the Internet. It is so well founded and documented with irrefutable proof that even those with only a cursory awareness of the Internet are aware of this rule even if they don't know it has a name.
While the original architects of the Internet had grandiose goals of research and data sharing, we all know what Joe Everyman is going to use it for: pornography! Now, it's not that everyone online is just looking for pornography; it's just that it's very very easy to come to. Even if you're not looking for it! Don't believe us? Do a Bing image search (filters off) of, well... pretty much anything. Sometimes even with the filters on. Odds are pretty good that the results will include something Not Safe for Work.
The key reason the scope of it is so wide and bizarre lies in what some have come to call Rule 36: "If you've thought of it, then there's somebody out there with a fetish for it." (And incidentally, by "it" we mean "anything that exists in the world.") Even TV Tropes.
There's also Rule 35, basically a guarantee that Rule 34 will remain true because "if there is no porn of it, it will be made." This basically means that if you notice you can't find porn of something, and point it out, somebody will be happy to draw/write/find it for you in pretty short order, if only to maintain the Rule 34.
You might wish to keep a bottle of Brain Bleach handy while proving (or attempting to disprove) Rule 34. Don't say we didn't warn you. And if you DO go hunting to prove this rule false, say good-bye to your childhood first...
An Older Than Dirt trope as decades before the Internet was even conceived, publications known as "Tijuana bibles" circulated widely, featuring X-rated (and copyright-infringing) cartoons showcasing a mix of popular cartoon characters and movie stars of the day doing the Rule 34 thing.
The Audience Reaction (of the creators) - see next paragraph - to Rule 34 varies greatly from country to country. In Japan artist are proud of being 34ed (since it proves they exist...oh, wait.) In the USA, it frequently ends in litigation... with expectable results. In Germany, Rule 34 is known but factually nonexistent and limited to extremely well-known stuff note , so no rules can be given.
Compare Sexy Whatever Outfit (a non-pornographic Sister Trope), Memetic Molester, Perverse Sexual Lust, the fetish fuel wiki, Rule 34 Creator Reactions (a list of creator reactions to this applying to their work). See also Rule 63, which is both often confused with this and constantly overlapped.
Not to be confused with these other rule 34's (though overlap with this rule is guaranteed):
- US federal courts' Rule 34.
- Rule 34 of the Evil Overlord List: "I will not turn into a snake. It never helps."
- The Ferengi's 34th Rule of Acquisition on Star Trek: "War is good for business." One Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel is even titled The 34th Rule.
- Wolfram's Rule 34.
- Charles Stross' novel Rule34 (although that title is a deliberate Shout-Out).
- Lyons Township High School's rule book #34: No Pornography (which may or may not be a huge coincidence).
- Rule XXXIV of the Death Note (Death Note Owners are protected from other Gods of Death).
- Route 34 (Which happens to be the first place ever in any Pokémon game you could breed your 'mons, and Ditto, the ultimate Pokémon breeding machine, can be caught here.)
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs's Rule #34. While apparently not yet specified by the show, Gibbs has at least 69 rules, so a rule 34 undoubtedly exists.
See also Gone Horribly Right. (You wanted porn? You're welcome.)
Not to be confused with Rule 85◊: If it exists, there is pony of it.
No examples, please. Not only would such a list cover potentially every work ever, but we're also not interested in being the Net's "How To Find Rule 34 Stuff" — you will need to look elsewhere if you want to find that kind of thing. At most, you can see our pages for The Rule of First Adopters and Parallel Porn Titles to witness how the rule applied even before the Web was invented.
And go to The Internet Is for Porn for in universe examples.
Yes. There is porn of this article as well. No exceptions!
no exceptions...no exceptions...no exceptions...

Winter Blues
We had a very relaxing Christmas holiday. My first day back to work found me doing driver training and the weather conditions were awful. I have done skills training in the winter before but never taken a new driver out on my route with me in bad conditions. He did wonderfully but I found the stress exhausting. I have also worked with several drivers his age before, however since he used to play football with my son it made me feel ancient to work with him.
Mom has hit another bump in the road where I feel like I am dealing with a child rather than my mother. She's been forgetful and stubborn. Thankfully my sister deals with her stubbornness better than I do. She doesn't leave her chair unless she has to. She is forgetting to take some of her doses of medication and though she is very unsteady on her feet she only used the walker now and then. After the weeks of physical therapy for her good arm she has stopped doing her exercises. I'm hoping she just has the winter blues too and this will all pass, as it has before.
She has been obsessed with a Meals on Wheels bill that she didn't pay. As soon as a bill comes in she writes a check so she couldn't understand how she missed it. It turns out that she didn't miss it, I did. It came with a meal that was delivered when we were out, probably at physical therapy, and was put in the cooler with her meal since we weren't home yet when they came. I saw only the meal, not the white envelope in the white cooler. We used the cooler again this week when she had a doctor appointment and there it was. She feels much better knowing that it was my screw up and not hers. And I also screwed up in not reading her Medicare Part-D stuff closely at the end of the year. Her plan stopped paying for two of her prescriptions January 1st. Her other plan will cover them but only one month at a time so that will cost her more this year.
Twig started going to a preschool class for three year-olds and is so excited about it! He's only made a few classes so far because he keeps getting sick. His sister has been getting sick too. When Bean called school to say that Sprout wouldn't be there Friday the school secretary said to her, "She's sick AGAIN!?" The latest - Twig has Croup.
It would be nice if other parents would keep their little ones home when they are sick, like Bean does. I had three kindergartner's that coughed all over everyone they could all week, including me. I was constantly disinfecting handrails, seats and windows. They have learned to cough into their elbows but it seems to take three before they get their elbow up.
I've has to endure several meetings at work. Training, scheduling and cut backs. Gov. Paterson is cutting aid to schools and transportation is an obvious place to look to make cuts. I have enough seniority that I will be OK but may have to drive a new route. Others are understandably upset and need to talk about it. I've always had broad shoulders but I'm feeling weighed down.
On a positive note, I started dieting the 1st of the year and have stuck to it reasonably well. I'm down a few pounds and hope to fit into my bathing suit and shorts by winter break ;-)
I also have done fairly well at keeping up my genealogy blog, Apple's Tree. Several of John's family members have joined me in working on his family tree and on another happy note I have been corresponding with one of my cousins. She is connected to the line from which the letters come so it will be fun to swap information and opinions.

Most kids get sick a lot when they are first exposed to groups. Glad you are down a few pounds, that is happy and optimistic even in gloomy January. One foot in front of the other, and break will be here before you know it.ReplyDelete
Apple, I can relate to SAD. Winter is my one of my least favorite seasons. I don't know which is worse, fighting through weeks of too much snow and icy roads, or having a winter like this with little-to-no snow and gray, gloomy skies.ReplyDelete
Maybe it's time to find a tanning bed! :-)
I can soooo relate to the SAD. I've got it too. Bad. Each winter seems to get worse as I get older. We've had a mild but exceptionally grey, gloomy winter this year. I like the mild temps but oh how I'd like to see blue skies and sunshine! Sadly, there's none of that in the forecast short or long term. :-(ReplyDelete
Congrats on the successful dieting! I've had lots of good intentions but the SAD has kept me from being successful at losing weight :-(
My kids also went through that constant cold thing. It was really bad with my second daughter, who developed asthma when she was about 18 months old (we initially thought it was croup). When she got sick from other sick students, she would be sick a week with the cold and then another week or two with asthma. And on the SAD thing - I hope it helps if you think of your readers and fellow researchers sending all the good wishes your way they can.ReplyDelete
Sounds like you have been busy. Our state (Michigan) is cutting funding per student state wide so we are feeling the pinch here too. We only have 4 routes now and don't see how we can get any less so I think we will all still have our jobs. They are just talking about changing up the routes still which would leave me running a longer route. :(ReplyDelete
I'm glad to hear you are keeping up on your genealogy, it inspires me to work on mine. I really should do up a blog like you have to get distant family members active in the information I need.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a safe week.
Thanks everyone!ReplyDelete
Heather - a genealogy blog is a great way to share and save your family history. And we have a great community of bloggers who are always willing to help and encourage!
My high school route will have to be longer next year and I'm already at an hour now. They will most likely take my elementary route and split it up so I'll have to drive a longer route out in the country for that one too. At least I'm (hopefully) close to retirement.
I find winter really hard too. There's that urge to hibernate!! Everyday trials become that much harder to handle, but it helps to remember you're not alone!ReplyDelete
It's good that your sister shares the responsibility of caring for your mom. At least you have each other to lean on when the going gets tough.
Hang in there and keep focusing on the positives, Apple. Spring is getting closer all the while :)
Sending hugs.
So glad you posted Apple...and shared your struggles with SAD. I also struggle - especially during the gray gloomy days when there is next to no sunshine. I know that's a huge part of the reason why I prefer a job that has me "outside" instead of in - not to mention that I do love the kids (most of the time).ReplyDelete
So glad you have some help caring for your Mom. I am too far away to be much more than moral support for my sister...it's frustrating.
Hang in there...Hugs
Wonderful sharing. SAD is such a challenge. I keep 100 watt bulbs in every room of my house. I can not handle dim light or extended cloudy days.ReplyDelete
I will not talk about school, that is a forbidden soap box for me.
I do identify with you regarding your mother. I am an only child. I wanted to keep her at her home as long as I could, but when she started storing her shoes in the refrigerator and stuffing her meals on wheels down the drain pipes, we had to give in and have her move to an assisted living home. It was hard at first, but she being a teacher decided it was her duty to keep the aides on their toes and make sure they didn't forget anything. LOL... She just can't make decisions for herself or stay on track in a one on one conversation. Don't you love them.
SAD, yep, Carol has it too, might I suggest to all, the wonderful OTT light! I have a HUGE one, floor lamp model, can swing the light around and get it right over my head. And, it helps. I have even found that some nights I have trouble falling asleep if I leave it on tooooooo long. So I do research instead! LOLReplyDelete
As far as the mom thing, you have my empathy, we are just beginning to deal with this with Man's mother. We may have to go back north because of it. She now says that she talks to Man 2 o 3 times a week on the phone. HA! More like 2 to times a day, and sometimes, that is 2 to 3 times an hour. The last week we have spent up to 5 hours in one day on the phone dealing with her situation. We are in a current state of shock, it happened so fast. Man being an only child makes it even harder.

Ford developing health care in the dashboard
DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford Motor on Wednesday announced its research partnership with WellDoc — a healthcare company that develops technology solutions to improve chronic disease management outcomes and reduce healthcare costs — around integrating WellDoc services into Ford vehicles through the automaker's SYNC voice-activated in-car connectivity system.
That SYNC system also will enable access to SDI's Pollen.com Allergy Alert application, Ford announced Wednesday.
"The car has rapidly evolved into a mobile office and entertainment center for many Americans," stated Venkatesh Prasad, group and technical leader of the Infotronics research and innovation team at Ford Motor. "Our goal is to further innovate the automotive space by incorporating health-and-wellness services into the car, thereby making them convenient and easily accessible to our customers — all while keeping their safety in mind. Delivering real-time, in-vehicle health management services is a revolutionary concept that we are proud to spearhead with WellDoc, a pioneer in the mobile health space."
The research project between WellDoc and Ford demonstrates how adults with Type 2 diabetes can manage their disease using the WellDoc DiabetesManager System through SYNC. People with diabetes can enter their data, such as medications, exercise and diet information, through speech-to-text interaction while in their Ford vehicle. Patients who utilize the DiabetesManager System benefit from consistent interaction across their cell phone, computer and now their vehicle. The WellDoc software-based system also will allow healthcare providers to access their WellDoc clinical decision support records while they're in the office, on their mobile device or in their Ford vehicle.
WellDoc's DiabetesManager, which has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, provides automated, real-time clinical and behavioral coaching based on patient data. The software-based system supports adult Type 2 diabetes patients and enables their healthcare providers to configure specific parameters and extend their care beyond traditional office visits by utilizing mobile phones, the Internet and soon automobiles.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Americans spend more than 500 million "commuter hours" per week in their automobiles, making it difficult to follow a daily health routine. By transforming the car into an access point that delivers health management content to patients in a safe, targeted and supportive manner, WellDoc and Ford are now enabling patients to maintain their daily routines even on the road.
Regarding the partnership with Pollen.com, developers enabled the Allergy Alert app for the iPhone to communicate via Ford's SYNC using AppLink technology, giving users voice-controlled access to location-based forecasts for four different conditions: allergy (pollen), asthma, cold and cough, and ultraviolet sensitivity.
Pollen.com's Allergy Alert app for the iPhone, which was launched in second quarter 2009, had more than 1 million users in 2010 with more than 80,000 downloads, putting it in the top 100 healthcare apps on iTunes. SDI expects the Allergy Alert SYNC app to be production-ready in third quarter 2011.

LONDON, July 7 (UPI) -- American Serena Williams topped Agnieszka Radwanska in three sets Saturday to win her fifth Wimbledon championship.
Williams won the first five games of the match but then dropped the second set before rebounding and upending her Polish opponent 6-1, 5-7, 6-2.
The win put Williams back on top in the tournament she won in 2002, 2003, 2009 and 2010, drawing her even with her older sister, Venus, who won the title in 2000, 2001, 2005, 2007 and 2008.
Williams employed a solid serve, which averaged 107 miles per hour, to turn back the determined Radwanska. Williams won 82 percent of her points when she got her first serve in. She served 17 aces to two for Radwanska, which helped overcome 36 unforced errors.
Radwanska, who was seeking her first Grand Slam title, won 61 percent of her first-serve points. She was the first Polish player to play in a major title match since 1939.
Roger Federer and Andy Murray meet for the Wimbledon men's championship Sunday.

I write to you today not as a Democrat, nor as the chair of the Gaston County Democratic party, but I write to you as a proud man and gay American.
I am proud of my country for electing a man who has the courage and vision to decree that all men and women are created equal, including those who are members of the LGBT community.
I am proud to have worked to reelect a statesman who puts politics aside to announce that the ability to love one another regardless of who that might be is greater than the philosophical and ideological debates on this issue that have divide this great nation.
I am also humbled. Humbled that this 42-year-old man may not have to fight for equality the rest of my life, but through the careful eye of justice and affirming words of my president, the tide of bigotry and hatred are shifting into a wave of love and mutual respect.
As a child, I knew I was different. As a teen, I struggled with the knowledge that I was less than human due to the simple fact that I was gay. And as a young adult, I wore the battle scars of inner turmoil and outer strife much for the world to see. I was beaten down but not defeated. I was oppressed but not deterred, and I was ridiculed but not forgotten.
Now, as a 42-year-old man, I can say that I am free. I am free to be who God intended me to be. I am free to love without the cruel intentions of those who do not understand. I am free to shout from the highest mountain top that I am loved, I am accepted and I am gay.
Mr. President, your words and actions over the past four years concerning LGBT equality have opened up the doors of acceptance and begun to close the door on discrimination. You have advanced love over hate and have made countless gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered men and women proud to be Americans, empowered to embrace their sexuality and emboldened to seek a place at the table of American equality.
Thank you, once again, for finally having the courage that countless leaders before you failed to demonstrate. Because of your words and your actions, millions of LGBT souls will no longer hide in the shadow, cry in the darkness or die alone. You are not only my president, but you are my hero.
Thank you, Mr. President, and God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.
Robert J. Kellogg

In 1993, the first New Bern City Swim Meet took place. Since then, there has been growth in the number of swimmers, records have been set and naturally, records have been broken.
In 1993, the first New Bern City Swim Meet took place. Since then, there has been growth in the number of swimmers, records have been set and naturally, records have been broken.
That trend continued Saturday at the 20th anniversary of the event.
Twin Rivers YMCA Aquatics Director Skip Nitardy said that roughly 160 kids swam in the races this year.
Six teams were competing: Twin Rivers YMCA, Taberna, The Emerald, Courts Plus, New Bern Country Club and River Bend.
�We had a very good turnout this year and the kids swam some really fast times and we had a pretty quick finish to it,� Nitardy said. �It is great to see because the kids work really hard and it�s great here at the end of the season to finish strong.�
Recent New Bern graduate Charles Pittman set a record for the New Bern City Swim Meet in the 13 and over age group, by swimming a 1:02:05 in the 100-Yard Individual Medley, his last race at the Twin Rivers YMCA.
Kayleigh Forbes, a 10-year-old, set the record in the girls� 9-10-year-old division for the 100-Yard IM with a time of 1:23:96.
The Taberna team of Peyton Hall, Samantha Packard, Ryan Skladan and Phillip Biro posted a record-setting time of 1:42:75 in the Mixed 8 and under 100-Yard Medley Relay.
Ashton Smith set a record in the 13-14-year-old group in the 50-Yard Butterfly, with a 32:39.
Finally, the team of Forbes, Avery Scoggins, Charlie Jones and Nathan Carroll were record breakers with a time of 1:15:65 in the Mixed 10 and under 100-Yard Medley Relay.
Pittman will be enrolling in the fall at North Carolina State, where he plans to major in mechanical engineering and minor in computer engineering.
He said he has no plans to swim, but may do something with State�s club team.
�I started swimming here at the Y after my freshman year of high school and Skip (Nitardy) is a great coach and it�s crazy to think I swam my last race here,� Pittman said. �I am happy because I did well, but also sad to be leaving.�
Pittman is the only swimmer leaving the Twin Rivers team, as everyone else is expected to compete in the meet again next year.
�We have a great group of little kids coming up and everyone but Charles (Pittman) is coming back next year,� Nitardy said.

Text description provided by the architects. The winning competition design for the Bell Lightbox and Festival Tower was conceived on an epic scale to create a city of cinema within the city that hosts one of the most important annual film festivals. It was also designed to reflect the heterogeneity and openness that characterizes Toronto. Located in the heart of the city's media and entertainment district, the architecture of the Bell Lightbox at the corner of King and John Streets injects energy into the precinct.
The Bell Lightbox, a horizontal, 5-story podium building, establishes its cultural image on the streetscape while the 42-story point tower, set back on John Street, commands the skyline. The two elements formally relate in the simple proportions of the volumes, common materials, and quality of detailing. The transition between the two occurs at the point where the roof of the Bell Lightbox meets the base of the Tower. The form and expression of the condominium tower creates a clean, contemporary figure with an illuminated light box at its top to enrich Toronto's evolving skyline.
The King Street elevation is a composition of projecting volumes and surfaces contained within a continuous loop of movement that begins with the street level canopy and then rises to the upper levels to culminate at the stepped roof. The canopy, with its metal soffits and LED lights, enhances the arrival experience. Extended sequences of horizontal montages of clear, fritted and translucent glass panels animate the upper surfaces and in project the silhouettes of people moving within to the street.
Inside the Lightbox, the design acts as a framework for human action and imagination in which the solidity of architecture and the ephemerality of the medium of film are fused. The flexible plan is based on the tradition of industrial loft buildings. Within this framework, the volumes of the cinema theaters (ranging from 80 to 550 seats) and spaces for gathering, display and production are arranged to promote movement and visual connectivity. A three-story central atrium features a red framed glass window into the master control booth. The architectural volumes of the five cinemas are expressed as black zinc clad buildings within the building, and the spaces between act as interior streets along which visitors are oriented. The cinema interiors are dark, unadorned and enclosed to focus the attention between viewers and film.
The main entrance leads directly to the main escalator, ramps and stairs which together weave a fluid sequence of movement to the cinemas above. On the fourth and fifth levels administrative and production spaces, library and archives are organized around a second, light-filled atrium. A generous café and restaurant, operated by Oliver Bonacini, occupy the first two levels of the corner at King and John. At street level, Canteen is wrapped by an outdoor café terrace. On the second level, Luma is integrated with the Blackberry Lounge.
The design culminates in the monumentally-scaled stepped roof. Inspired by the stepped roof of the Villa Malaparte in Capri featured in Jean Luc Godard's 1963 Contempt, this major new outdoor public space encapsulates the fusion of architecture and film.

You are getting married, you have decided on a date – what next?
Even though your wedding day might be a year or more away, now is the time to start planning it. You want to be sure it is the best day of your life and for this to happen you will need to do some careful preparation.
Planning your wedding can be very stressful – but you can take all the stress out of the day with meticulous planning – treat it like a project and by the time you wedding day comes along, you will be able to relax and enjoy the day with your friends and family.
Like any major project, the more planning you do upfront, the better the end result.
it is a good idea to firstly think about the style of wedding you have in mind. Will it be indoors or outdoors, a garden setting or traditional format, the numbers of guests, the food and refreshments, the space and opportunities for photographs and of course, the weather.
Once you have decided on the style of wedding, you will want to look at venues. Visit more than one venue to give you some comparisons – remember you are looking for a unique experience and you want to get a feel for the place to see if it suits the style and theme of your wedding. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
Also, be prepared to book early to avoid disappointments so you get to have the date of your choice.
Here are a few tips to include in your planning to ensure a successful day.
• Confirm the venue has been specifically designed for weddings and events
• Are there facilities to protect you and your guests from inclement weather?
• Plenty of opportunities for photographs (indoors and outdoors)
• Plenty of space for your guests to mix and mingle
• Soft background music to ensure your guests are comfortable while the formalities take place
• Quality sound system for the after wedding party festivities
• Provide transport for your guests
Following a few simple rules will find you in the last few weeks leading up to "your day" free to enjoy the last minute details and you and your partner will approach the day refreshed and relaxed.
Another good tip to avoid all the work landing in your lap is to ask family members and friends to assist, especially where you think they may be specifically suited to a task that you may not necessarily be good at, or even like.
There will be lots of small details as you get your arrangements in place and if you do everything yourself, you will approach the day feeling tired and frazzled! People love to help and to feel part of your special day – so don't be afraid to ask or enlist their services.
How often have you heard? "How I wish I had asked for help instead of trying to do it all myself"…
The more you plan in advance the more you will enjoy your special day.

The drought is over as Poly High's wrestling program won its first Moore League championship in 24 years with a 37-24 victory over defending champion Millikan on Thursday night.
The Jackrabbits led 30-7 with four matches to go and, despite a rough patch between 113-126 pounds, senior captain AJ McKee (132) fittingly ended the historic evening with a pin of Millikan's Andres Chavez.
"We're all very excited to be part of something that hasn't happened since 1989, and it's a credit to all my teammates and coaches for pushing each other every day to get better," McKee said. "It is a big relief that it's over and we can now concentrate on bigger goals. But it's something in time that I am sure I'll take a lot of pride knowing that we changed the expectation level here at Poly."
Clancey Baker got Poly off to a quick 3-0 start as the meet kicked off at 138 pounds with his 3-0 victory over Erick Cortez. Joseph Magdelano (145) fought through an injury to squeeze out a 2-1 victory over Millikan's Sebastian Merelle.
Joseph Chavez (152) got Millikan as close as it would get the rest of the night at 6-4 with his 12-2 major decision over Tracy Williams after having Williams on his back for much of the match.
But Poly won six of the next seven matches to all but put the meet and Millikan's chances of a repeat out of reach.
"We had some guys step up like we expected and others did not, but Poly beat us because they're the better team this year," Millikan coach Marshall Thompson said.

New Yorkers weekend in the Hamptons. North Germans escape to SYLT. They've come en masse since the nation went crazy for seawater bathing in the mid-1800s, and today around 600,000 people a year swell a year-round population of 23,000, thankfully only 50,000 at a time. In recent decades Sylt has carefully cultivated its reputation as a playground of the moneyed elite. Every minor celebrity for decades has been caught in flagrante delicto by the paparazzi, fuelling the gossip press each summer and adding to the prestige of Kampen village.
Cross under grey North Sea skies to disembark in main resort, Westerland, and you might wonder what all the fuss is about. The answer is a broad beach of pale quartz sand that fringes the entire west side of an elongated island tethered to the mainland by its railway. The sheltered east coast looks over the mud-soup of the Wattenmeer, while the north arm around the port of List is a restless sea of sand dunes. Flashy restaurants and boutiques aside, Sylt is an island of simple holiday pleasures: dozing in one of 11,000 Strandkörbe, the cute wicker beach-seats for two; dawdling through lanes of postcard-pretty Keiten; nature walks among Germany's largest sand-dunes at List; sea cruises from Hölm or any number of watersports. And, of course, people-watching at Kampen.

Dún Chaoin is renowned for its scenery and its surviving Gaelic culture. The spectacular views of the Blasket islands, the rugged cliffs which make up the coastline, the picturesque, narrow, winding pathway leading to the pier and the splendid sunsets are featured in many calendars, postcards and tourist brochures each year.

Southwest Wake News
Wake County schools ask for $39 million more from commissioners
Calling it a test of the community's political will, the Wake County school board unanimously approved a budget proposal Tuesday that asks for a $39.3 million increase in local funding to support pay raises for teachers.
Also on Tuesday, the board received news that repair work on the Beltline will not result, as originally feared, in changes in school times for multiple schools this fall. School administrators recommended new times for five schools but said those changes are not related to the Interstate 40 work.
Most of the heated rhetoric was over the budget proposal's call for the Wake County Board of Commissioners to fund an across-the-board 3.5 percent pay raise for all school employees.
"I'm not interested in having an average school district or an average quality of life," school board member Bill Fletcher said. "We want to have an excellent school district to help continue to support our excellent quality of life in our community. To do that we need to make sure our teachers are going to be compensated properly."
Board Vice Chairman Tom Benton said that Wake is at a "watershed" moment on whether the community will support public education.
"Average is not good enough for us," he said. "We have the wherewithal to do better by our teachers. The question is going to be if we have the political will to do better by our teachers."
Joe Bryan, vice chairman of the board of commissioners, said in an interview after the meeting that the school board's request will have to be balanced against competing needs such as operating libraries, having enough sheriff's deputies and maintaining the social safety net.
Bryan said the $39.3 million increase, the equivalent of a 3-cent increase on the property tax rate, is a lot to ask taxpayers who already face a 4.5-cent tax increase to finance the school bond construction issue approved in October.
"It's certainly going to be an uphill climb," he said. "It's a big lift to ask for coming off the heels of the recession."
Last month, Wake County Superintendent Jim Merrill unveiled a $1.3 billion operating budget for the fiscal year that starts in July. It was his first budget proposal since being hired in June.
Merrill wants $366 million from the county, a 12 percent increase over the current allotment. Merrill said the increase will help the state's largest school system begin recovering from the cuts made during the recession and the slow recovery since then.
The extra $39.3 million would pay for items such as expanding the number of students served in pre-kindergarten programs, hiring literacy coaches to work with struggling students, giving additional money to high-poverty schools and hiring graduation coaches to help keep students from dropping out.
But the most attention has been given to Merrill's $29 million plan to give across-the-board pay raises. It's the first step toward Merrill's goal to raise Wake's average teacher salary of $45,512 to the national average of $56,383 – an increase he has said would require an additional $130 million in local dollars by 2020.
A beginning teacher in Wake gets $35,189 a year. Most of the pay comes from the state, with the county supplementing the base pay.
School leaders said they're only trying to move pay back to 2008 levels. Since 2008, teacher pay increased with a single 1.2 percent raise, while inflation has measured 8 percent and health care costs have gone up as much as 39 percent.
"This is not a raise," said school board member Jim Martin. "This is barely catch-up."
School leaders pointed to the resignations of more than 600 teachers by midyear, a 41 percent increase compared with the same time last school year. Benton predicted there will be "monumental defections from the teacher ranks this summer."
"We can't say to young people today that you will have a living wage if you choose to work in our classrooms," he said. "And that's frightening."
While the budget was adopted, the board held off until May 6 on approving the bell schedules for the 2014-15 school year to give more time for public comment. The proposed changes:
• Durant Road Elementary and Durant Road Middle in Raleigh shift 15 minutes earlier, moving to an 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. schedule.
• Green Elementary in Raleigh starts 50 minutes later, moving to an 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. time.
• Kingswood Elementary in Cary starts 10 minutes earlier, moving to a 9:05 a.m.-3:35 p.m. time.
• West Lake Elementary in Apex begins five minutes earlier, going to a 7:40 a.m.-2:20 p.m.
David Neter, Wake's chief business officer, said an analysis conducted by N.C. State's Institute for Traffic Research and Education showed that the road work that will begin later this year on the busy 8-mile Interstate 40 Beltline section across South Raleigh won't require changes in school times.

I havent even seen these yet, but I am very anxious to get the whole slew of them. Pardon any puns, there is definately something classic about these. It makes me remember the TF's as they truly were. Much more so than any of the modern lines. Not that I have any negative thoughts about any of the current lines, they just never actually made me want to go out an buy them. These remind me of the ones that I grew up with.
DP: The Devastator giftset you speak of is a repainted repack of 5 TF Energon figures that were all sold individually.
I only picked up Superion and he's been in storage for quite some time now. He didn't hold together as strong as I thought he would. The leg assembly was wanky and he would fall from time to time.
Transformers movie preview toys!Hm. There's a couple of plot points on the back of the cards, so I didn't post the pics here.More pics here.

With a 219-196 vote, the House has approved legislation, H.R. 2354, that would restrict EPA's ability to act in several key areas, including pesticide suspensions and cancellations related to endangered species protections, pesticide product brand names and Clean Water Act (CWA) permits for pesticide use on or near water.
The restrictions were included in the FY12 Interior and Environment Appropriations bill, which funds EPA, among other agencies.
The bill includes language that would amend the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide & Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the CWA to exempt FIFRA-compliant pesticides from requiring a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit under the CWA.
Pesticide stakeholders see the permit as a large and unnecessary time and cost burden, given the protections already afforded by FIFRA, and have been seeking a legislative fix.
The appropriations bill language is essentially the same as that contained in stand-alone legislation (H.R. 872) approved by the House. That bill is now in the Senate where Sens. Boxer (D-Calif.) and Cardin (D-Md.) have placed a hold on it.
The committee report accompanying the appropriations bill says that requiring NPDES permits for pesticide use "would have far-reaching implications and move beyond the intended application of the Clean Water Act."
An amendment offered by Rep. Calvert (R-Calif.) and adopted by voice vote, also addresses a significant concern for pesticide stakeholders — restrictions on pesticide use to protect endangered and threatened species.
EPA has been consulting with federal wildlife agencies regarding the impacts of a number of pesticides on endangered and threatened species. In one case, dealing with Pacific salmon and steelhead, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is examining the impacts of 37 pesticides on 28 species. So far, it has issued four biological opinions (BiOps) covering 24 of the pesticides.
NMFS has found that some of the pesticides jeopardize the continued existence of one or more species and/or their critical habitat. In the BiOps, it recommends a number of steps to address that jeopardy.
For the first BiOp, covering chlorpyrifos, diazinon and malathion, in April 2010, EPA asked the affected registrants — Dow AgroSciences, Cheminova and Makhteshim Agan of North America — to voluntarily accept certain restrictions on the use of their products, including buffer zones. They refused and are challenging the validity of the BiOp in federal court.
More than a year later, EPA still has not decided how it will respond to the lack of voluntary compliance, but has indicated that cancelling the pesticides in question is an option.
However, Rep. Calvert's amendment would preclude that option. It states: "None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to modify, cancel, or suspend the registration of a pesticide registered or reregistered under section 3 or 4 of (FIFRA) in response to a final biological opinion or other written statement issued under section 7(b) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973."
