The Indian Health Service (IHS), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, is responsible for providing federal health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The provision of health services to members of federally-recognized Tribes grew out of the special government-to-government relationship between the federal government and Indian Tribes.
An Inconvenient Indian by Thomas King.

Nintendo is dropping some new carrots in an attempt to drive sales for the slow moving young 3DS portable gaming console and aging Wii home console this holiday season.
Sometime between now and the end of the year, Hulu Plus subscribers will be able to access the service via Wii and 3DS. As with other platforms that stream Hulu Plus, the service will be available for a separate subscription fee of $7.99. An exact date for the launch should be announced within the next few weeks.
Coming in late November to 3DS is a system update that will allows owners to shoot up to 10 minutes of 3D video as well as create 3D stop-motion animated videos. This same update will also include a new dungeon to Find Mii and new puzzles for StreetPass Mii Plaza. Other updates are expected at the same time though remain unannounced.
The big deal for Nintendo this holiday season is, and remains to be, the release of three marquee titles: Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 on 3DS, and Wii’s software swan song before Wii U replaces it next year, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Hulu and 3D video are neat additions on paper, but developing unique gaming software is what Nintendo does best – and frankly needs to do more of.
If you want to hear Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime talk through the updates and more, watch the video below.

this is marie
So, did anyone received keys? Signed up for this about two weeks ago and still no answer
It took them this fucking long to have a basic feature that makes the game playable?
Starring only those who actual made their own outfits
I got my wig for my Johnny Joestar. Hat's making progress.
Jojo is vidya
Who thought this was a good idea?
Is this the hardest 3D game in existence?
It seems whenever I ask for a harder game, people only respond with old 2D shit.
>Is this the hardest 3D game in existence?
No. This is.
Was Sonic 06 really that bad?
__like it could be a really fun open world CryEngine FPS from the developers of TimeSplitters, Crysis 2, and Crysis 3.__
Which platform? I hear the PS4 version is chuggy, and they're promising a day 1 patch.
Go ahead and stream if you want, but I'm also interested in your impressions of the game. In a word, is it at least "good"?
Come up with a joke based on Vergil's concentration mechanic because I think I am getting angry.
lol nvidia cards are stomping ass in Doom benchmarks. look at that little 960 go.
What are some games where you can form a skeleton army?
>people say Pyro is the worst class
>when this maggot exists
It's been 10 years and this is still the greatest video game opening of all time. Can this ever be topped?
I'm going to have a wonderful day on /v/! I can't wait to talk about new releases like DOOM!
So now that the ash has settled, what's your overall take on Dark Souls 3?
Also, hopes and ideas for the dlc?
It's okay. The bosses really steal the show this time around, but it doesn't help that there isn't any point in using heavy armor or heavy weaponry, when a set of light armor matched with a regular, upgraded straight sword will get the job done far more efficiently.
I could tell you.... if the game wasn't broken right now....

2008 Annual Report
2008 was a momentous year - where the “Call for Change” resonated with persons across the city and country. Much of the year’s debate was about new Presidential leadership for the nation, and Washington, D.C. as the nation’s capital was centrally caught up in that debate. The subsequent victory of Barack Obama was seen as a historic moment, with the election of the first African American as President. The city enthusiastically joined in with the rest of the country in celebration and a feeling of great expectation caused by the election.
The city itself reflected many of the challenges facing the nation. Tragic violence continued to plague the city. Homicides rose for the 2nd straight year, the first time since 1989 - 1991. Most troubling was the increase in the number of children as victims - with at least 19 having died violently. Since 2001 the number of those victims of violence rose over 40% in the city. The year started with the tragic Banita Jacks’ case, where a mother has been accused of killing her children. This case resulted in a surge of reports to Child Protective Services. Nor was the city immune from the stark economic realities that shook the country. Unemployment in DC rose to 8% by November, and forecasts of upwards of 10% by 20010 were made by the city’s Chief Financial Officer. The city closed a $131 million budget gap late in the year by freezing programs for expanding affordable housing, health care and transportation. This came amidst reports of a further $127 million budget gap for 2009. It was in this context - of a challenged, urban city facing economic upheavals not seen in decades, that local congregations and the Downtown Cluster of Congregations sought to serve.

The Council of Government’s 8th Annual Homeless survey found about 12,000 persons were in homeless in the metropolitan area - including almost 2,900 children. Over 6,000 were homeless in the city. This study did not account for the rise in the number of persons on the potential verge of homelessness by year’s end. A record number - more than 30,000 households - sought energy assistance through the city’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Demand was so high at a September “Joint Utility Discount Day” program that about 1,000 residents had to be turned away. By mid-year, the Cluster staff was finding that basic need requests at congregations was up sharply from prior years; applications for benefits of all types was up, along with basic service needs for mental health care, substance abuse, and other services. The year ended tragically when a homeless man who lived in the Foggy Bottom area was beaten to death. This came on the heels of reports of two other beatings of homeless persons. Given this array of dire, life-threatening needs presented to member congregations, the Homeless Services Unit continued its outreach efforts for its 23rd straight year.
The Unit is staffed by 3 full time Outreach Workers. The staff - Julie Turner, Juan Benavides, and Sharon Winfield, have been in their positions at the Cluster for over 20, 15, and 10 years respectively - making them the most experienced outreach team in the city. It is owing in great part to this experience, as well as their bi-lingual, multi-cultural capacity, that has made it possible for them to achieve significant results.
This team rotated between 8 congregation-based sites, as well as canvassed parks, commercial areas, and other public spaces where the homeless live. The staff saw 1,435 persons - 431 women and 1004 men. Women were 30 % of those served. The staff provided over 1700 emergency aid referrals for food, clothing, and shelter. The team was able to provide follow-up, in-depth case-management services to almost 300 persons as well as aid in making over 950 applications for Food Stamps, Social Security Benefits, Medicaid, and other assistance. 635 of these applications were successful; numerous others are pending. 300 persons were referred for substance abuse treatment, of which 122 received treatment. 198 persons were referred for mental health treatment, of which 110 actually received such care. 470 persons were referred for general medical care. More than 400 applications were made for transitional and permanent housing, of which 73 persons were placed into such housing.366 persons were referred for job training and placement, of which 128 obtained jobs, and 144 received training.
The goal of the Homeless Services Unit is to assist each person to meet life-threatening emergency needs, while addressing long-term needs in order to break the cycle of homelessness or poverty. This is achieved by the staff forging a working partnership with each person and family, and allowing them to identify and implement the steps necessary to regain control over their lives.

Washington Area Community Investment Fund (WACIF)
The Downtown Cluster of Congregations, which assisted in the founding of the Fund in 1987, remains a committed investor, seeking to help low-income persons, new immigrants, non-profits and others succeed in getting critically needed capital, and to acquire the economic skills and services necessary to succeed.
Since its inception in 1987, WACIF has provided over 215 loans totaling more than $15 million to an array of housing programs, daycare centers, and local small businesses. Its loans have helped to leverage better than $125 million in other public and private investment funds. Altogether, over 1,500 units of affordable housing have been preserved or developed as a part of these loan activities. Almost 150 small business have been aided through technical assistance as well, helping to create some 450 full and part time jobs. WACIF provided significant technical assistance in 2008 to individuals and small businesses, child care providers, and community based development organizations - these efforts generated new loans, jobs, housing, and child care slots. In July and September it sponsored free workshops -“Preventing Foreclosure: How to Save your Home the Right Way”. The Fund is active not just in the city but makes its loans and programs available metropolitan wide.

Improving public awareness of available safety services continued to be a priority for the Downtown Cluster of Congregations. A series of major fires in 2007 and early 2008 - damaging Eastern Market, a public library, and a 5 alarm blaze displacing over 200 low and moderate income residents in Mt. Pleasant in February of 2008 made clear the need for improved fire safety planning and services. The Mt. Pleasant fire, in addition to displacing hundreds of residents, caused tens of millions in damage to an adjacent historic church. The Cluster hosted a meeting with Chief Rubin, distributed contact numbers to member congregations and the community on how to schedule fire safety inspections and how to receive smoke detectors. The Cluster urged the swift repair of fire hydrants, hundreds of which remained in need of service by year’s end. Tragically a horrific fire at the very start of 2009 resulted in 6 deaths - the most from a fire in the District since the 1980's.
The Cluster also continued to call for other public safety efforts - such as improved pedestrian safety. The Executive Director served on the Advisory Committee to the city’s Master Pedestrian Plan. Many intersections and streets in the downtown seemed designed to favor moving traffic through neighborhoods more than assuring the safety of people crossing. 2007 had ended with a 10 year high with 26 pedestrian fatalities in the city. Cluster staff continued to urge improved sidewalks, better engineering, increased education and traffic enforcement. In early 2008, the city began requiring secured, sheltered walkways by construction sites.
The Cluster reported to local Postal authorities “gang-tagged” equipment in need of cleaning and repair. Gangs remained a very violent and deadly threat in DC’s neighborhoods. To that end, the staff also urged the city fund effective programs for evenings and weekends at the city’s recreation centers, as a means to engage District youth successfully. Deadly gang violence continued in the region, particularly impacting Columbia Heights.
The Cluster vigorously opposed proposals at year’s end to extend alcohol service hours for the upcoming Presidential Inaugural to 5 am - concerned that it would result in causing more people to be victims of crime, or become intoxicated. It joined with at least 2 US Senators in urging the city maintain its 2 AM limit on service of alcohol. The City Council moved back from a 5 am to a 4 am last service time for the upcoming Inaugural. The city’s legal counsel also maintained that any establishment having a “voluntary agreement” that limited its hours of service would remain in effect during the Inaugural period.

Services to Congregations
Local congregations continued to face uphill struggles in their efforts to operate. Numerous Capitol Hill congregations were adversely impacted by parking regulations put into effect around the newly opened baseball stadium, limiting parking to 2 hours as early as 7 AM on Sunday mornings. Many church visitors come for services that go on throughout the morning and into early afternoons. After citing the overwhelming adverse impact this would have on numerous congregations such as the historic African American Ebenezer United Methodist Church, the city amended its parking limitations, lifting its new Sunday restrictions, given that few games occur on Sunday afternoons and that far less demand for parking was generated than was feared.
The 3rd Church of Christ Scientist continued its efforts to be allowed to raze it’s 1970's modernist building that had been declared a historic landmark in late 2007. This poorly designed and poorly constructed building has cost the congregation enormous funds simply to heat and cool properly, much less maintain its walls, roof, and physical structure. The Cluster strongly supported the Church’s right to free exercise of religion, as allowed under federal law. The Church of Latter Day Saints was precluded from moving forward with a new chapel as a matter of right at a site on 16th Street when a “zoning overlay” was imposed, after the property was purchased and cleared for construction. The Cluster supported congregations’ rights to build appropriate worship facilities in face of these obstacles amidst concerns that these land use regulations were precluding the free exercise of religion.
[ top ]
The Cluster sent numerous public service flyers to local congregations for posting and distribution, as well as to the media in order to spread the word on opportunities for assistance, health, and financial education. Utility Discount Days, Youth Law Fairs, Financial Literacy Fairs, and health care screenings were amongst the types of events the Cluster sought to make the community aware of given growing needs throughout the city amidst rising unemployment and the widening financial crisis.
[ top ]
he Cluster, as with major underused or vacant publicly-owned sites in the past, continued to urge the government to move forward on re-developing decaying or underused sites. The Old Post Office Pavilion, a historic structure that has lost many of its retail tenants and continued to suffer neglect of its structure, was urged to be put out for bid for re-development and historical restoration. The Cluster’s Executive Director called for consideration of the construction of a new headquarters for the FBI Building, allowing the current several block site in the heart of downtown to be redeveloped for mixed use and providing the FBI with a new, state of the art building, given the out-dated and poor condition of the current site. These projects could generate potentially hundreds of new jobs for District residents, as well as generate tens of millions in new revenues for the city.
Staff continued to aid small businesses and civic groups seeking to revitalize their neighborhoods. These efforts included urging the city to tackle vacant sites, seeking improved lighting to enhance safety, as well as traffic adjustments and improvements to sidewalks to encourage pedestrian activity, shopping and services.

Special recognition goes to Rev. John Mack, who served as Pastor of First Congregational Church, U.C.C. for 23 years, from 1984 to 2007, and was a long-serving officer of the Cluster. He died in January. He helped to expand numerous services for the needy in downtown Washington, his church serving as a central site for a number of homeless programs, as well as being a model for an inclusive church.
The Cluster welcomed as its 44th member: Soka Gakkai International - USA Buddhist Association. Located on Massachusetts Avenue, NW, it opened in the city in 2007 with great hope and expectation for its ministries. A complete listing of member congregations is on the agency’s website at www.downtowncluster.org.

Everton have been given planning permission to build a new 52,888-capacity stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock; the application now passes to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government; Everton could potentially play there in the 2024-25 season
By PA Media
Everton have been granted planning permission by Liverpool City Council for a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Due to the scale of the development, the detailed application for the 52,888-capacity ground now passes to Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government Robert Jenrick’s office for consideration.
If there is no objection at that level, and the proposals do not get “called in” for scrutiny higher up in Government, then the club would look to start work this spring or early summer.
There is a 150-week build plan in place which will potentially see the Toffees start the 2024-25 season in their new riverside stadium.
After a number of false starts over several years, Everton considered 52 locations to move to from Goodison Park and Bramley-Moore Dock was deemed the only viable option.
The project has gained widespread public support although objections were raised by heritage body ICOMOS, acting on behalf of UNESCO, as well as the Victorian Society and Historic England – with the latter having had input on the design.
But the council’s report concluded the plans – which integrate a number of historic features – could actually deliver “heritage benefits” by “enhancing degraded on-site heritage assets, improving access to the World Heritage Site and unlocking access to the history”.
Everton believe the new stadium can play a key role in Liverpool’s recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, with the stadium and a multi-purpose redevelopment of Goodison Park generating a £1.3 billion boost to the local economy.

Dr. S and I tried to work through the conflict. For me, she knew, dependency implied obligation and control — so I wouldn’t let her, or let myself, be close. I didn’t disagree, but how was I supposed to rescue my desire to be held from my fear of being crushed, my desire for love from my desire to please?
How was I supposed to find a way through that wasn’t out? I experienced my imminent departure like a fact in my body, and any effort to explain it further filled me with a saturating boredom. Dr. S was not a boring person, and I didn’t think I was, either, so the boredom provoked our mutual suspicion.
Still, I felt loyal to my malaise, like the child who refuses every doll, game or excursion — stubborn in the unhappy dignity of her disinterest.
Dr. S knew better than to pressure me to stay, but she did not fulfill my fantasy of a reparative final session. I thought I wanted her to bless my departure. Instead, she spoke wistfully of all the work we might do if I kept coming back, as if the work we’d done already was not enough. When I left her office, tears blurred my vision, and the clouds above Central Park looked like faces pushing against fabric. I’d been afraid of disappointing Dr. S — and then I did. But the disappointment I perceived in her was different from the disappointment I so chronically endeavored to avoid with others. Together we had created a situation that I could abandon in favor of my own desire, however primitive, without recrimination.
It must be strange, for the analyst, to exercise so little control over her patients: After years of tenderness, we might walk out the door without looking back. And yet, it is precisely this conscious renunciation of control that makes the analyst different from the other people in our lives, potentially transformatively so. Once I left, life quickly flooded the space where our sessions had been. I fell in love, I became a writer. I was waiting for a punishment, meanwhile, that never came, and the quietude diffused the guilt and shame of failure. I could feel, finally, the stirrings of an independence I did not have to justify by winning. Leaving Dr. S made it possible to imagine going back — both humbled and emboldened by our mutual capacity to abide the separation. To let it breathe.
I was gone only for a little more than a year, and when I went back to Dr. S, we saw each other once a week. Six years have passed, and our relationship is now one of the most reliable — and mysterious — in my life. I told her recently that I’m not sure what analysis is for, or how and how much it’s made me better. “You’re still so ambivalent about it,” Dr. S observed. But I don’t think that’s quite true. I’m not ambivalent about my time with her: I know I want to be there, in the suspended circle of her attention.
I’m just reluctant to articulate its purpose, especially in public, because analysis has become a refuge from the pervasive demand that I use my time productively, or render my life as a progress narrative for search committees, potential partners or the pages of a magazine. In analysis, I’m allowed to be uncertain and without the right words. This time, I haven’t decided how long it should last. I’m able to practice living without particular ends in mind — which is not the same, I’ve learned, as living without desire.
Lately I’ve been reading the Puerto Rican feminist Luisa Capetillo, especially her 1911 manifesto on free love, repeating one line like a mantra: “querer es poder.” The translation I have renders it as “wanting is doing.” But I keep lingering over other possibilities: “wanting is power,” or, more modestly, “to want is to be able to.” Desire is the minimum condition for any true transformation. But desire cannot be demanded from us by others, or by the voices of others we’ve internalized to discipline our own spirits. We all have to figure out how to want the help we need. The choices we make about how to get it matter less than how close we can feel to the force of our choosing.

We all know that we may get sick some day. Even if we eat well, exercise regularly, and make responsible choices, at some point we may find ourselves coping with a car accident or a long-term illness. Life is unpredictable.
When we face injuries or serious illness, we know that we're likely to need treatment in a hospital, followed by a period of recovery. We may need continuing physical therapy or ongoing treatments. Since that's a typical pattern for so many conditions, you'd think a rational health-care system would be set up to offer support throughout the whole process of illness, treatment, and recovery.
Over time, the US health-care system has evolved in several separate organizations or systems. Health experts call them "silos." Hospitals, primary care docs, specialists, home health agencies, skilled nursing facilities. Each of them has its own vocabulary. They have wildly different fee schedules and financial incentives. The payment system generally doesn't pay extra for the time and effort needed to gracefully transition patients from one setting to the next ... so, it comes as no surprise, the transitions are clunky.
"The US health-care system hasn't made sense for decades, and anyone involved in it knows that," says Amanda Twiss, an expert in health-care analytics and the founder of Outcome Concept Systems Inc., which specializes in gathering and analyzing data on home health. "Right now the incentives are for various health-care providers to transfer patients rapidly to the next provider, with very few integrated transitions of care. We must have better management of transitions, and increased alignment of incentives to do the right things, particularly for our chronically ill patients. This will happen, but the form it will take may vary."
It's easy for Twiss to envision the way that the health-care system ought to work. "If incentives were aligned, there would be more population-based health care. The choice of a setting would be more neutral. Whether home-based care or a long-term care facility or a hospital, you would do whatever was most appropriate for the patient's needs."
The Accountable Care Act includes incentives and pilot projects designed to shift the system toward an integrated continuum of care. In addition, experimental initiatives are fermenting throughout the health-care system. There are many different ways to reach this goal, Twiss says, and runs down a list of alternatives: "Some hospitals are now investing in call centers and support services post-discharge, because they see it affects their ratings on consumer satisfaction surveys," she says. "Various state Medicaid agencies are driving value-based purchasing in long-term care. Recently at a conference panel one hospital mentioned their discharge planners are now looking closely at home care providers' quality and outcomes, and the hospital is starting to be more discerning about where they send their patients."
Meanwhile, as consumers, we may or may not have access to innovative health-care systems that attempt to manage care transitions more effectively. Twiss's advice: seek additional information. "Go to websites such as Home Health Compare and Nursing Home Compare and look at the overall quality of local organizations," she says. "They have scores on quality measures posted online. You can look at the results of satisfaction surveys." In addition, she recommends asking for opinions and personal experiences from your physician and from other people you know, just as you would do when making any significant decision.
Prepare Ahead of Time, Research Options
Howard Gleckman, the author of Caring for Our Parents, has heard many stories from family members who weren't prepared for sudden health-care decisions. "Suppose you're the only child of a widowed mother. She's been living at home independently until she falls and fractures her hip; then she's in the hospital for a few days. One morning you're visiting her and the discharge planner says, 'great news, your mom's going to be discharged by two pm today.' You have a choice, you can have her discharged anywhere you want, but you have no idea what to do."
The hospital discharge planner is often a social worker, sometimes a nurse. She comes in each morning and there's a stack of folders on her desk of people who are supposed to be discharged that day. "Discharge planners are in a very difficult situation," Gleckman says. "They are expected to discharge patients rapidly, but they usually don't have very much information about the patients they are discharging, or about the various settings the patient could be discharged to."
His suggestion: start exploring possible care options at the very start of hospitalization. "Most hospitals have a social worker on staff, not just for discharge planning but so people can begin to work with them as soon as a family member is admitted. So, go talk with them," he says.
Often the social worker will have some idea of how long a hospitalization is likely to last. She'll be able to analyze the potential next steps. Can the patient go straight home? That will depend on many factors: the patient's condition, what sort of continuing care is needed, the physical environment at home, whether friends or relatives are available to help. Home health agencies can send in trained nurses and physical therapists to help people recover in their own homes.
Or, it may be that a short or longer period of nursing home care or assisted living is the most appropriate next step. In that case, the social worker should be able to make suggestions to get you started. "In most communities there are a number of knowledgeable resources available to you," Gleckman says. "You don't want to just get a list and start walking from nursing home to nursing home. There should be a local Area Agency on Aging; they are of variable quality, and some of them are quite good. There are private not-for-profit information referral services, often religiously affiliated, but they will help anyone. Just start by googling 'senior services' and the name of your town."
Since these days so many families live many miles apart, a new profession has evolved to help people care for their aging parents: the geriatric case manager. He or she is a trained social worker or nurse with experience in evaluating care options and making recommendations to fit a particular situation. "It depends on where you live, but generally it costs $350 to $500 for someone to do this additional assessment. They recommend specific places if someone needs skilled nursing care or assisted living," Gleckman says. "The advantage here is that you're getting an expert opinion from an objective source. People sometimes recoil when they hear the fee ... but compared to the potential cost for a long period of care, it is trivial."
Before making any final decisions, Gleckman recommends visiting a long-term care facility and sensing the atmosphere. "Forget the fancy lobby," he says. "Some of the best nursing homes I've ever been in are a bit shabby." It's not essential to talk with the director of nursing or the marketing person, he suggests, but "you do want to pay close attention to the aides, because they are the people who do the actual care."
Gleckman recalls one particular visit to a nursing home. "A nurse's aide offered to show me the way to the person I had come to visit. As we walked down the hallway she stopped and hugged one of the residents and then another, and warmly asked them how they were doing. At that moment I said to myself, 'If my mother needed a nursing home, this would be the one.'"
In the neighborhood where I live, there happen to be two skilled nursing facilities, only a few blocks away. I find myself thinking that it wouldn't hurt to stop by sometime soon, get acquainted, learn a bit about the way they function, their specialties. To start learning more about these resources now, just in case I, or a friend or family member, need to rely on them someday.

Do you know that poor dental hygiene can possibly lead to heart and other diseases? Do you know how good oral hygiene affects the rest of your body? There are many recommendations that not only affect the risk of heart disease but probably also affect the risk of other inflammatory diseases.
As we learn more and more about chronic illnesses (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia), we realize that inflammation in the body seems to be a central mechanism causing these problems. If we look at cardiovascular disease (heart attacks, strokes, and circulatory problems in the legs and even in the brain), we see that inflammation in the blood vessels decreases the diameter of the blood vessels and therefore decreases the space for blood to flow to the vital organs. When this occurs, the function of the organs is decreased and this is what leads to all the chronic illnesses listed above.
Getting back to dental care, we know that poor hygiene increases bacterial growth around the teeth and in the gums. This causes inflammation that increases the risk of tooth decay and gum recession. Most of the bacteria in the mouth are harmless. It is when you do not brush or floss regularly that the bacteria multiply and grow out of control, resulting in infections and inflammation. The overgrowth of bacteria spills into the bloodstream and can cause infection and inflammation in other parts of the body This includes Endocarditis (infection/inflammation of the lining of the heart), coronary artery disease (blockage of the blood vessels that supply the heart with oxygen and nutrients), Alzheimer's disease (it is known that people who lose their teeth before 35 years of age have an increased risk of dementia), and more. Gum disease has also been linked to premature birth and low birth weight.
Now that you know the negative effects of not taking the best care of your teeth, what can you do to prevent these problems from occurring?
? Brush your teeth at least twice a day
? Replace your toothbrush every three to four months
? Floss daily
? Eat a healthy diet and limit between-meal snacks
? Schedule regular dental checkups and have your teeth cleaned professionally by a dental hygienist every six months
? Watch for signs and symptoms of oral disease and contact your dentist as soon as a problem arises
Remember, taking care of your oral health is an investment in your overall health. If you're concerned about heart disease prevention, ask your doctor about proven ways to reduce your risk - such as stopping smoking and maintaining a healthy weight
As most readers may know, cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer in the USA and most of this is preventable (as are most of the other chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and dementia). From many of my other articles you know that eating a healthy diet and exercising daily is the foundation for healthy living and avoiding illness, including cancers. Use of any type of tobacco product (cigarettes or chewing tobacco) increases the risk of many cancers including mouth, head and neck, lung, gastrointestinal, bladder and colon. Cigarette smoking also increases the risk of all the cardiovascular diseases, dementia, and is also linked to erectile dysfunction since it decreases blood flow to all the vital organs.
In summary, we can see how taking care of our teeth affects our overall health. By adopting healthy habits, eating healthy food, exercising daily and avoiding tobacco we can live a better quality and longer life to enjoy all the people and things that make us happy.
So please start the New Year off with a few healthy resolutions and be well in 2013 and beyond.
Please write Dr.Sal@Leememorial.org with any questions or concerns about this or other health related topics.

[Ed. – The article points out that Americans overall are heavily opposed to this.]
A majority of Democrat voters now say that the 12 million illegal aliens currently residing in the United States should be given the right to vote.
In a new poll by Rasmussen Reports, a majority of 54 percent of Democrats said illegal aliens in the U.S. should be given the right to vote so long as they pay taxes. Illegal aliens paying taxes ensures the identity theft of Americans.
Likewise, 53 percent of self-described liberal voters said they too support giving the 12 million illegal aliens in the U.S. the right to vote.

Ethereum scaling protocol Polygon has developed a new Type 1 prover allowing ecosystem chains like optimistic rollups to unlock zero-knowledge proof (ZK-proofs) layer-2 functionality.
Polygon co-founder Brendan Farmer spoke exclusively to Cointelegraph after Polygon announced that its next-generation Polygon zkEVM Type 1 prover will be available as open source to Ethereum ecosystem participants.
Farmer said the development of the technology, which was built with the help of Toposware, was a year in the making and unlocks the ability to generate ZK-proofs for mainnet Ethereum blocks at an average cost of $0.002 to $0.003 per transaction. The Type 1 prover is dual licensed under MIT and Apache 2.0 and will be available on GitHub.
“A Type 1 prover is kind of the final form of a zkEVM. It allows us to take any existing chain, whether it’s the Ethereum layer 1, an optimistic rollup or an alternative L1, we can upgrade that into zkEVM L2 that can connect trustlessly to Ethereum and Polygon’s aggregation layer and participate in the Polygon ecosystem,” Farmer explained.
Farmer added that industry participants have historically suggested that a layer-1 prover is not practical and would be cost-prohibitive. However, the team has since managed to provide efficiency and cost.
“We’re proving real mainnet Ethereum blocks at an average cost of two- to three-tenths of a cent per transaction. I think that that’s orders of magnitude lower than what people were expecting.”
The development has some interesting implications for the broader Ethereum ecosystem. Farmer explained that the technology allows the generation of ZK-proofs for any Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chain.
The Polygon co-founder added that the technology serves as a public good for the Ethereum ecosystem by removing the need for users and services to maintain a full node.
“Imagine a world in which we actually generate proofs for Ethereum L1, and instead of having to run a full node, you can verify a zero-knowledge proof like in your browser. And so, you’re getting full node security guarantees without actually having to run a node and deal with kind of the hassle and headache,” Farmer said.
Polygon’s announcement outlines the framework of zkEVM originally proposed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. These rank from 1 to 4, reflecting the level of compatibility with Ethereum and its EVM.
A Type 1 prover is considered to have “the highest level of compatibility with Ethereum,” allowing the generation of proofs for EVM chains with modifications or migrations. These proofs preserve execution logic like storage structure and hash functions.
The technology will also allow optimistic rollups, popular Ethereum L2 protocols that bundle transactions off-chain and submit proofs to mainnet, to tap into the benefits of the Type 1 prover. One widely cited drawback of optimistic rollups is a seven-day period within which funds are locked up.
“We see a lot of optimistic rollups choosing to use this prover and join the Polygon ecosystem because it’s a much better user experience. If you look at the cost that users pay to use third-party bridges to avoid the seven-day withdrawal delay, it’s a tremendous cost in aggregate, like eight figures,” Farmer explained.
“Being able to avoid that and to provide a more capital-efficient solution for users is a huge advantage.”
When questioned why Polygon opted to make the technology open source, Farmer said that making the technology available to the wider ecosystem was in line with the “ethos” of Ethereum.
“Our view is that if you want to look at who’s aligned with Ethereum, look at what they do, not what they say. We think that this is a huge public good, and it’s something that should be open source and should be available to anyone,” Farmer said.
Cointelegraph also spoke to Polygon co-founder Jordi Baylina in December 2023, who outlined the layer 2’s goal of amalgamating its scaling networks and technology to complete its “Polygon 2.0” cross-chain coordination protocol in 2024.

There have been a lot of case studies published on how business intelligence (BI) tools have helped the bottom line performance for retailers, but few have examined the impact on head-to-head competition between prime players.
The battle ground in the video rental market is shaping up to be a full scale throw-down between the top two players, with BI tools playing a central part in their strategy. The story line features price optimization, customer segmentation, and promotion management-- and how it ultimately plays out could serve a textbook reference for years to come.
Before you write off BI tools as a minor factor in this match, consider the background of the key players involved. Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, was a high-school math teacher, and has been a vocal proponent of customer intelligence since the company’s early days. Illustrating its passion for behavioral analysis technology, the company launched the Netflix Prize last year. The contest, which offered a $1 million prize for building the best technology to predict customer preferences, generated more than 12,000 entries.
Blockbuster CEO Jim Keyes is also considered somewhat of a data junkie. While he was racking up 36 consecutive quarters of same store sales during his tenure at 7-Eleven, he reportedly relied heavily on BI tools to drive product assortment decisions. One of Keyes' first moves after taking over at Blockbuster was to shake up the IT staff and bring in Keith Morrow as CIO. Morrow worked with Keyes at 7-Eleven and is considered to be one of the brighter minds in the retail space.
To fully appreciate the complexity of the arena these two are competing in, you have to keep in mind that they are working with multi-tiered subscription pricing that has to factor in the fulfillment cost of serving the customer. The data layers get even thicker for Blockbuster when you add in the fact that Total Access members can return and substitute titles at store locations.
The battle between the two video rental titans has been shifting on a quarterly basis, with the edge apparently going to the company that better adjusts its pricing model based on consumption and customer behavior.
Building on its cross-channel Total Access marketing plan, Blockbuster appeared to be mounting a comeback in the battle by cutting into Netflix’s base of online subscribers. The company's online subscriber base reached 3.1 million by the end of September last year, but then the company abruptly announced that it was changing gears.
The company’s new management did some analysis and realized that those online customers they were spending big bucks to attract weren’t so profitable after all. After raising its prices on high volume subscription plans, Blockbuster lost about 500,000 subscribers and saw its stock price take a hit. However, Keyes made it clear that this was a calculated move, calling the price increase “a conscious effort to prune the tree, and in other words, we were willing to walk away from some of our subscribers, those at the far end of the usage scale who are not willing to pay a higher price for unlimited free exchanges,” adding “we were happy to see them move to the competition.”
Right around the same time Blockbuster was raising its prices for heavy users, Netflix was stepping up its customer acquisition strategy by launching a $4.99 subscription package. In July of last year, Netflix lowered the price on two of most popular subscription packages by $1. The change was expected to benefit the majority of Netflix’s customer database, which consists of more than seven million members, and hopefully stop them from jumping ship and moving over to Blockbuster.

People can be fixated on the signs of aging on their face. The reason is obvious — every morning your face is staring right back at you in the mirror, and it’s easy to see the wrinkles, sagging, and sun damage. From facelifts and brow lifts to myriad skin tightening procedures, the face gets plenty of attention.
But when you put on that sleeveless top, it can seem as if you forgot something, your neck. Sagging and banding on your neck can be every bit as striking as on your face, but it often is a forgotten target of attention.
Dr. Kearney can fix that with a neck lift.
Why does the neck sag?
The neck is unique in that it doesn’t have large muscles like the legs or underlying bone structure like the arms. Plus, it is at the mercy of gravity every waking minute. This makes the neck one of the first areas on the body to show signs of aging. As our muscles and tissues loosen with age, the neck is where the first signs often show up. It starts under the chin with excess skin and sagging skin in the lower face, basically your average double chin. On the neck itself, the skin sags, and it has an attribute that doesn’t happen elsewhere, muscle banding. This forms deep creases on the neck.
Who should have a neck lift?
A person who would be right for a neck lift is someone who doesn’t need a full facelift. Most of the signs of aging are showing on the lower part of the face and down into the neck. If the problem is mainly fat accumulation under the chin (double chin), then the new injectable Kybella could be a good option. It dissolves fat when injected under the chin.
However, if the problem is loose skin and muscle banding, a neck lift is the only option to tighten things up.
How does Dr. Kearney perform a neck lift?
If the sagging is more manageable, Dr. Kearney may make an incision under the chin only. He can remove excess fat and tighten the muscles. But in most older patients, the incision is made behind the bottom portion of the ear and extends back to the hairline. This allows Dr. Kearney access to all of the muscles and tissue involved in the full length of the neck. He pulls up the skin and underlying tissue, removes the excess, and then reattached it. To correct muscle banding, muscles may be repositioned.

No two music styles are more divergent than classical and rap, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Common will try to bridge that gap in a performance Saturday night.
It marks the first time the symphony has ever collaborated with a rap star. The concert will take place at Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park.
ARTS ATL spoke to Common this week about the special concert, what he hopes it will achieve and how hip-hop has evolved since he first burst on the scene 25 years ago.
ARTS ATL: Classical and hip-hop music are very different genres with different audiences. Do you see this concert as an opportunity to bring the two genres together?
Common: Yes, I see this as an opportunity to bring people who love music and appreciate art together who may not always get a chance to experience it in one way or the other. A lot of people who see hip-hop shows don’t get to see classical performances and vice versa. This is a chance to bring the worlds together and show just how beautiful music can be and how wonderful it is to combine great art to create a new experience. We want to give audiences something they may not have ever experienced before.
ARTS ATL: What can we expect from this performance?
Common: When I think about the audience, I think about them experiencing songs they are familiar with but also presenting songs that are new in a great way. I will go through a catalog of music — I view it like a DJ sometimes in that you have to play the songs people know and love, then you also have to play songs that are progressive and different. I like my performances to be a journey — to have the elements of live music, improvisation, a narrative and theatrics. I want the people who experience this concert with the ASO to enjoy a combination of hip-hop and soul music, and progressive music with a great orchestra with a history of my music and tracks that have yet to be released.
ARTS ATL: Can you tell me about your upcoming album Let Love?
Common: The album is called Let Love, and it’s inspired by my book titled Let Love Have the Last Word (2019). It’s creative and progressive — people who have liked my albums Like Water for Chocolate (2000) and Be (2005) will feel the musicianship these albums contained, along with the storytelling and soul elements. This album really digs into places that I’ve never been to. Writing a book and being an actor has allowed my storytelling to rise to new levels. It’s been inspiring for me because I wanted this album to be very personal but at the same time relatable for others. There are many soul artists featured — I’ve always liked featuring vocalists I wish I could sing as good as. Many of the songs end with the word “love.” A few examples: “Good Morning Love” and “Guided Love.”
ARTS ATL: You’ve been making hip-hop since the ’90s. How have you seen the genre change over time?
Common: In the ’90s, I noticed that the process of making an album seemed to take longer. You wouldn’t find people coming out with several mixtapes and albums in one year. The avenue of getting the music to the audience has changed, and so have the promoting and marketing aspects. With so much music out there, I think it’s different in that there are so many albums currently out and continuing to be put out that it’s less concentration on one project. For example, when The Notorious B.I.G. put an album out in the ’90s, everyone in the West Coast was checking it out. I feel like in the ’90s you were able to give more attention to the artist, and the artist was able to develop — they were able to put out a follow-up single to the album, then go on a tour, etc. You could feel the evolution of the artist. Now, people’s attention is short, and albums don’t have that type of life anymore.
ARTS ATL: “H.E.R. Love” serves as a sequel to 1994’s “I Used to Love H.E.R.” Can you tell me about this evolution?
Common: The song “I Used to Love H.E.R.” is 25 years old and is about the culture of hip-hop. “H.E.R. Love” is me telling about my perspective of hip-hop from an evolved perspective — a matured perspective that understands the culture has to grow, expand and change. Just like people in your life are going to change and grow — I felt that was an important thing for me to talk about with hip-hop. It is also to honor all that hip-hop has brought to my life. I really wanted to honor the culture and the evolution of the genre; I respect that a lot of newer artists are bringing what they bring and doing their thing. Hip-hop doesn’t sound like it did in the ’90s, but it shouldn’t. The music has to evolve, and the new generation should be able to express themselves the way they want. And that’s what’s going on.
ARTS ATL: How do you feel Atlanta is doing compared to the rest of the U.S. in hip-hop?
Common: Atlanta brought a whole new sound to hip-hop, and it’s so true to the city and an expression of the South. Atlanta has been able to own that and bring out various artists that have been successful with that sound. One of the things I respect about hip-hop is that you have different people from different places expressing who they are and what they feel — they aren’t trying to sound like a place they’re not. Atlanta brought and developed its sound — the city has a prominent place in the hip-hop world. There’s several great artists from other places, but Atlanta’s really bringing it.
ARTS ATL: What’s your favorite part about being in ATL?
Common: The people and the food.

What an incredible visual treat that was! For years I didn't even consider going to the Stitches West Conference because it was for knitters. What a mistake! There is yarn everywhere, so much more than at a weaver's conference. The crowd itself is wearing an amazing array of handmade apparel that will knock your socks off!!
And, oh, I can't believe the handknit socks!
Stitches West is produced by The Knitting Universe of which Knitters Magazine is part. You can see their photo album of the conference and fashion show here on Flickr. I loved seeing the "DoubleStitch Twins" and their elegant hand-knit outfits. So glamorous! Or visit the Knitting Universe website here and check out their show schedule.
With permission from the following vendors, I took some photographs to share a bit of the color and flavor of the event with you all.
Shelridge Farm had such a beautiful booth, showing us what is possible with a little wool and a couple of sticks! To read about their "Soft Touch" knitting yarns, see photo galleries, and a list of fiber resources,
visit their website here.
And I couldn't help but show you some of those handknit socks referred to above.
Courtesy of Shelridge Farm.
This display from Brooks Farm on the main aisle was stunning.
These ladies at LanaKnits are modeling garments knitted from their beautiful hemp yarns They were lovely and gave me encouragement to dig through the bargain bin!
Visit their website here and read about "the most versatile fiber on earth".
Green Mountain Spinnery had every color you could want. They told me that some of their fibers are "dyed in the wool". I highly recommend that you visit their website and take the virtual tour, here.
I love baskets and really enjoyed visiting with the owner of Maendeleo Imports. I did not buy any baskets, because I may already have too many according to my husband. Check out their website here.
Find out about their Fair Trade business and if they will be coming to a show near you soon.
Thanks to my friend, Stella, for driving me over to the show in Santa Clara. It was an hour-long drive through the mountains where snow was falling. Snow is a rare event here, and I had never had this experience.
We both took classes and walked around the vendor hall until late afternoon, until we had been so saturated with colors and patterns that we had to retreat.
Stay tuned, in the next post, I'll show pictures of what I bought and the result of my classwork.

FactSet Research Systems Inc. (NYSE:FDS) (Nasdaq:FDS), a leading provider of integrated financial information and analytical applications to the global investment community, today announced its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
For the quarter ended February 28, 2013 revenues increased to $213.1 million, up 7% over the prior year. Included in this total was $2.7 million of acquired revenues from StreetAccount. Operating income was $56.2 million compared to $67.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Net income was $44.5 million versus $46.7 million a year ago. Diluted earnings per share was $1.00 compared to $1.02 in the same period of fiscal 2012.
Adjusted operating income for the quarter was $71.9 million, up 7% over the prior year. Adjusted operating income excludes a non-cash pre-tax charge of $15.7 million for stock-based compensation related to the performance-based options granted in connection with the acquisition of Market Metrics in June 2010. These options vested in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 when the Market Metrics business accelerated to achieve stretch revenue growth targets.
Adjusted net income advanced 8% to $50.6 million. Adjusted net income excludes the after-tax charge of $11.0 million related to the Market Metrics performance-based stock options and $4.9 million in income tax benefits from the reenactment of the U.S. Federal R&D credit. This tax law change was retroactive to January 1, 2012 and resulted in cumulative income tax benefits of $4.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
Adjusted diluted EPS rose 12% to $1.14. Adjusted diluted EPS excludes the net effect of a $0.25 decrease for the vesting of performance-based options partially offset by an $0.11 increase in diluted EPS from the reenactment of the U.S. Federal R&D credit.


BRIDGEPORT - Bridgeport police say a school bus driver and an aide are doing fine after power wires fell onto a bus at Mead Street and Central Avenue on Tuesday.
Police say a dump truck was heading out of Bridgeport Hospital when it hit the low-hanging wires.
The wires then fell onto a passing school bus, electrifying the bus and a fence.
"Anybody who touched that fence would have been electrocuted," said Bridgeport Police Capt. AJ Perez.
Police say the bus driver and an aide were the only people in the bus at the time. They say the two stayed in the bus and remained calm as the fire department and United Illuminating Company shut off the power.
Police say power was cut off in a small, isolated area of Bridgeport Hospital as a result of the incident but say power has since been restored.

TAMPA, Fla. — A man was taken to the hospital after he was struck by lightning while on a personal watercraft.
It happened around 3:40 p.m. Monday near the Davis Island Yacht Club, located at 1315 Severn Ave., according to Tampa Fire Rescue.
The man's condition is not yet known. He was out of the water and being helped by bystanders before transported to Tampa General Hospital by paramedics for treatment, Tampa Fire Rescue said.
Radar imagery around 3:30 p.m. showed a strong thunderstorm moving through downtown Tampa and the Davis Islands area, with a couple of lightning strikes reported.
As the storm passed by, Ken Hardy says he looked out over the water from the yacht club and saw the man on a Jet Ski get hit by lightning. It was when the man slumped over that Hardy and another man went out to rescue him.
"He was not initially responsive," Hardy said. "He was in the water, he was wearing his life jacket. That probably saved his life...We pulled him right in the boat, and my partner administered CPR."
Florida is the lightning capital of the U.S. given its location, according to the National Weather Service. The state is surrounded by warm water, and all of the necessary ingredients for thunderstorm development come together quite frequently. In turn, those storms produce lightning strikes.
If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning.

As May is getting closer more details are being revealed about the organization of the Eurovision Song Contest 2003. This time mostly about the stage.
In the interview to the Estonian newspaper SLÕhtuleht the press secretary of Eurovision 2003 Ingrida �mite said that set design is almost ready. “We have done many technical tests and have ordered special materials even from England to test them“, she said.
She added that stage will be technically very complicated. First time in the history of Eurovision Song Contest the green room will be placed exactly above the stage. �mite explaines: “ Nobody is going to run along the corridores when called. Also no elevator will be used. The solution will be different.”


One of our national clients was experiencing issues with a failed impeller motor assembly, that was effectively stopping all new product deliveries to the wharf.
With our industry partners, we were able to remove the failed assembly, conduct all necessary repairs, including motor re-alignment and impeller balancing.
The urgent repairs were achieved within a tight timeline to ensure our client was ready for the decanting of the next vessel.
These photos below illustrate the crane lifting the assembly back into position, securing the assembly, and the final testing and sign off our repair works.
Well done and thank you to our team at Lascelles Wharf, Geelong.
