Anne McTiernan, M.D., thanked the other member of the
subcommittee, I-Min Lee, M.D., and their consultant, Dr. Katie Schmitz, with
assistance from her pre-doctoral student, Rebecca Speck, and their CDC liaison,
Candace Rutt. The subcommittee's focus has been to look at physical activity
effect on cancer risk and the role of physical activity in cancer survivorship.
The subcommittee formulated three research questions:
What are the associations between physical activity and
incidents of specific cancers?
What are the mechanisms explaining the associations between
physical activity and cancer and how does physical activity relate to cancer
independently of its effects on overweight and obese individuals?
What are the effects of physical activity on cancer survivors,
including long-term and late effects of treatment, quality of life, and
Cancer is not a specific disease as every type of cancer is
different. Because of this fact different cancers had to be looked at separately
with a focus on cancers that had been studied in terms of physical activity. The
most studied include, breast, prostate, colon and rectum with a majority of the
data from breast, prostate and colon. The subcommittee's goals were to determine
the evidence of dose-response of physical activity in cancer and to identify
subgroups that may differ on physical activity effect and cancer risk. Also,
the group reviewed the independent and combined effects of overweight
individuals and any relationship between physical activity and cancer risk.
The majority of the data reviewed was epidemiological data
through 2001. A preponderance of the data suggests that colon cancer in
particular is reduced in risk with increasing physical activity. Studies that
combine colon and rectal cancer do not show the same protective benefits.
Two-thirds of the studies show reduced risk of breast cancer with increased
physical activity. The data for prostate cancer seems to initially suggest that
there is no benefit of reduced risk. Reviewing the Women's Health Initiative
beneficial effects in reduced risk of breast cancer were found in subjects with
lowest BMI. In looking for special subgroups that had differing levels of risk
no consistent pattern was found.
Dr. McTiernan introduced Dr. Schmitz who reviewed the
subcommittee's work on cancer survivors. In studying this issue three types of
outcomes were of particular interest: prognosis or reoccurrence and mortality
among survivors, long-term and late effects of treatment and quality of life.
The data on cancer reoccurrence is limited as there were only
three studies in the literature. Review of this limited data did show a
dose-response effect for individuals that did activity equivalent to walking
three to six hours per week.
An additional set of outcomes the subcommittee dealt with
focused on the effects of cancer treatment. For purposes of the group's work
only individuals that had completed cancer treatment were researched in order to
focus on the effects of physical activity among cancer survivors and how it
relates to possible benefits in their quality of life. The data suggests that
physical activity may be useful for the growing population of adult cancer
survivors who are preventing reoccurrence and mortality in a dose-response
manner and improving long-term or late effects of treatment. It also appears
that both aerobic and resistance training would be useful to improve these
outcomes. It is unclear if aerobic activity has more benefit than resistance
training or vice-versa. These conclusions are based only on adult cancer
survivors, as there is not enough data to address childhood cancer survivors.

Rosemont, Ill . — The Chicago Wolves home winning streak didn't make it safely into 2012 as the Charlotte Checkers picked up a 4-1 American Hockey League victory Saturday night before 7,612 at Allstate Arena.
Charlotte goaltender Mike Murphy delivered 29 saves — including 14 during an intense third period — to bring the Wolves five-game home winning streak to a close. Forward Anton Rodin produced Chicago's goal at 10:24 of the third period.
Kevin Connauton and Chris Tanev earned assists while goaltender Matt Climie stopped 17 shots for the Wolves (16-12-1-3), who finished 2011 with seven wins in their last 10 games.
"I was disappointed with the way we started," said Wolves head coach Craig MacTavish. "We played a bit better in the second, but we just couldn't get it done tonight."
Midwest Division-leading Charlotte (19-11-2-1) took the lead for good on left wing Nicolas Blanchard's goal at 5:45 of the first period. Defenseman Brett Bellemore fired a shot from the right point toward the slot, where Blanchard deflected the puck past Climie (9-5-0) for the goal.
The Checkers boosted their lead to 2-0 on Jerome Samson's power-play goal from the point at 12:43 of the second period. Charlotte made it 3-0 late in the second period as center Zach Boychuk tracked down a deflected puck in the left circle and wristed it into the net.
The Wolves goal came at the 10:24 mark of the third period. Connauton, working from the left point, slid a pass to Rodin in the right circle and the rookie from Sweden blasted the puck past Murphy (12-7) for his fourth goal of the season.
The Wolves play their first game of the New Year against Lake Erie at 7 p.m. Saturday at Allstate Arena.
Charlotte: 1, 2, 1 — 4
Chicago: 0, 0, 1 — 1

Five Different Scorers Lead Flyers to Win
Kimmo Timonen had a goal and two assists, Steve Mason made 32 saves and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Ottawa Senators 5-2 Tuesday night.
Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier, Wayne Simmonds and Adam Hall also scored for Philadelphia, which is 4-0-1 in its last five games after a 4-10-1 start.
Clarke MacArthur and Kyle Turris both had a power-play goal for the Senators, who have lost two in a row.
Timonen and Simmonds scored 23 seconds apart to snap a 2-all tie in the third period.
First, Timonen got his first goal of the season on a nifty move to give the Flyers a 3-2 lead. He skated in from the left side and stuffed a backhander past Robin Lehner.
Simmonds then scored on a turnaround slap shot from the slot, and Mason stoned Turris on a penalty shot with 5:06 left to preserve the two-goal cushion.

A state that is 90 percent dependent on oil revenues cannot afford to lose 200,000 barrels of production each day – and continue to prosper.
Yet that has been the state's fate under the ill-advised oil tax policy known as ACES.
Since ACES passed in 2007, North Slope production has fallen almost 31 percent while production is up everywhere else in the nation. ACES caused Alaska to miss out on the oil boom brought about by high oil prices.
That should concern every Alaskan interested in good jobs, a sound economy and a bright future. It certainly raised my hackles, which is why I joined with other Alaska businesses, Native leaders, unions and a broad cross section of individual Alaskans to form the Make Alaska Competitive Coalition three years ago to advocate for a change to ACES. We funded our efforts with our own pocketbooks as MACC accepts no money from oil producers.
We thought our mission was complete when the legislature passed — and the governor signed — the More Alaska Production Act earlier this year. But opponents of tax reform collected enough signatures to force Alaskans to vote on MAP during the 2014 primary election.
So we're back in the fight — but with a new name. Under state law, MACC must form a ballot measure group to continue to fight for Alaska's future. We're calling our new group "Keep Alaska Competitive — Vote No on 1," and we hope you will join our effort. You can find out more about our group and our activities at www.KeepAlaskaCompetitive.com. I am the treasurer of the ballot group.
Our role will be to work with groups, organizations and businesses to dispel the myths and misstatements surrounding oil tax reform.
The new law increases the base tax rate from 25 to 35 percent, directly ties incentives to additional production and eliminates the crippling progressivity feature of ACES. In short, it rewards companies for producing more oil, which is what Alaska needs most.
It is key to commercializing our natural gas. The proposed Alaska LNG project can never happen without a healthy oil industry to pay the bills and keep the costs down. Without the oil, the gas can never compete.
MAP fulfills the four principles Gov. Sean Parnell laid out in January of being fair, simple, competitive and tying incentives to more production.
The new law is a good business deal for Alaska because it puts Alaska back in the game. It shifts Alaska's tax rate from the high end of the global spectrum to the middle so we can better compete for the investment dollars we desperately need to stop our oil decline.
With oil prices at $100 — where they are today — only 16,000 barrels of additional production per day results in more state revenues over a five-year period than what Alaska would have collected under ACES.
We know the oil is there in huge amounts — at least 77 billion barrels of oil equivalent in place on the North Slope. While all of it is expensive, and much of it is technically challenging, Alaska has a 35-year track record of overcoming challenges and pioneering technology that has proven itself over and over again.
Which is why MAP is already producing results, even though it does not go into effect until Jan. 1, 2014. Repsol, BP, ConocoPhillips and new entrant Caelus Energy have all responded with additional development plans, which will result in new production, new opportunity and new jobs for Alaska.
At Dowland-Bach, we invest in our people and our long-term relationships. That's what oil tax reform does. It asks us to give up a little right now to guarantee good jobs, a booming economy and a prosperous future.
Alaska cannot afford to return to a failed tax policy. I'm voting No on 1 next year — and I hope you will join me.
• Lynn Johnson of Anchorage is a long-time Alaska business man and treasurer of the newly formed ballot measure group, Keep Alaska Competitive – Vote No on 1.

Hey out there!
I'd like to see if there are any other Controls guys out there in a similar circumstance...
I work for a school district that maintains 162 schools with more being built.
In our HVAC shop, we have 4 control guys...that means 2 with lots of DDC experience, one in training (doing very well) and one pneumatic expert who's trying to learn DDC. The rest of our shop consists of 2 boiler guys, 2 refrig guys and the balance is pipefitters with primarily construction backgrounds.
About 70 or more schools are strictly old pneumatic, waiting on DDC someday. The rest of the schools have every conceivable mix of DDC and DDC over pneumatic you can think of! We seem to have every generation of JCI controllers and lots of NCM's, FX-JACEs and NAE's. We also have 15 schools with ALC, couple with KMC, couple with Siemens and one with DELTA. We have many schools with a mix of systems too!
I've heard of other school districts zoning there people into quadrants of their district. We don't, we take care of any of our schools, everywhere and we're very spread out.
I personally love my job 'cause I'm never bored! But it seems that we could use a couple more control guys...
Looking forward to hearing back!

It was enough for me a year ago to move over to duckduckgo for good. It works well enough 98% of the time. My only gripe with it is its layout, or should I say the style attributes set on its layout. I don't like the hover crap on the results, makes it hard to select text.

NEWTON — Revenge is a strong word.
Newton senior Joey Wright stepped on the mat for the 285-pound championship match at Saturday's 2014 Little Hawkeye Conference tournament. Four days earlier, Wright lost by a pin to Norwalk's Trystan Minnis in the very same gymnasium at Norwalk.
"Wresting Minnis in the finals and winning felt really good since he beat me on Tuesday," Wright said. Minnis had pinned Wright in regular season action.
Wright recorded two wins by pins in the quarterfinals and semifinals Saturday. That set up a match for the championship with Minnis. Wright built up an 8-4 lead through two periods. A reversal to start the third put Wright in front 10-4 on his way to a 10-7 win and the title.
Wright, who had been sidelined with a medical situation, returned to the mat the past couple of weeks for the Cardinals. He moved into the 285-pound weight class and in came out as a Little Hawkeye Conference champion.
"It feels really good to be back on the mat wrestling. It felt really good to go back to Norwalk and win a championship," Wright said.
Sophomore Hunter Versteegh won his first Little Hawkeye Conference championship, claiming the gold in the 113-pound division. He also went up against a Norwalk wrestler he had faced and defeated last Tuesday.
Versteegh made quick work of Tyler Hirl of Norwalk in the 113-pound title match. Versteegh had pinned his other two opponents on the day as he advanced to the championship. He turned Hirl and recorded the winning fall at the 1:07 mark.
"It was pretty intense," Versteegh said of winning a conference championship. "It was fun. Our whole team did really well at the conference tournament."
Newton had two other LHC champions — seniors Koby Hull at 106, who was a two-time champion, and Ray Schroder at 195. Junior Dakota Dawson finished second at 138 pounds.
Newton finished fourth as a team and had seven wrestlers place in the top three in weight classes, earning All-Little Hawkeye Conference honors.
"This is a wonderful group of hardworking individuals. Every wrestler that we have goes out there expecting to give six minutes of there maximum effort, and tries the best that they can," said Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm.
"For me that's the most important thing. I love seeing the improvement that these kids are making, and could not be more excited to work with each of these kids through districts and beyond."
Sophomore Bryce Tish avenged a quarterfinal loss to Reed Hillenga of Dallas Center-Grimes as the two squared off in the 132-pound third-place match. Hillenga pinned Tish in 2 minutes, 8 seconds to open the tournament.
Tish worked back in the third-place match. He turned the tables on Hillenga. Tish pinned Hillenga in 1:47 to claim the bronze medal.
Junior J.T. Thongvanh lost in the semifinals at 170 pounds. He bounced back with a major decision, 11-3, over Norwalk's Blake Hoover for third place.
Alex Bentley, a sophomore, two losses on the day came against the same opponent. In the quarterfinal round, Nick Beebe of Oskaloosa beat Bentley 6-1 in the 126-pound division. Bentley won his next two matches to reach the third-place match, losing 5-1 to Beebe.
Just the opposite for sophomore Cole Peters at 120 pounds for the Cardinals. Peters rolled to a 10-2 major decision over Kyle Sadler of Grinnell to open the tournament then lost twice. That put Peters and Sadler in the fifth-place match. Peters pinned Sadler in 5:16.
Jordan Henning, another sophomore, finished fifth at 182 pounds. Henning pinned Carter Terpstra of Pella in 1:51 in the fifth-place match.
Newton won one and lost one fifth-place match by injury default. Freshman Caden Manning earned fifth at 220 with an injury default over Ryan Kennedy of Norwalk. Cardinal senior Earl Kimmel was unable to compete in the 160-pound fifth-place match after suffering an injury early in the tournament.
Freshman Justice Borger lost two in a row and was done for the day for Newton at 145 pounds.
Newton's varsity wrestlers turn their focus toward Class 3A district tournament action. The top two finishers in each weight class at district qualify for the Class 3A state tournament.
The Cardinals are excited about the Feb. 15 district tournament because they will wrestle at home. Newton hosts the Class 3A District 7. Joining Newton in the tournament are Iowa City City High, Iowa City West, Marshalltown, Oskaloosa, Ottumwa, Pella, Cedar Rapids Prairie.

Students at Parkersburg High School were touched by the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut. The A Capella choir wanted to give the grieving community the gift of song.
"Just to know kids lives were taken so close to Christmas. It's hard," Rebecca Cooper, PHS student says.
For families in Newtown, Connecticut, it's not going to get any easier this Christmas.
"I hope they know there's people out there that were actually upset and it's not just them and it's not just the victims and the families, that everybodys hearts go out to them," another student, Laken Rummer says.
And students at Parkersburg High School are showing their support by donating a tree. Decorated with 26 green and white ribbons, it honors the Sandy Hook Elementary victims.
"We immediately felt the pain and the hurt being in our school, hearing the news, working on beautiful Christmas music that spoke the very theme that would touch many lives and that was the theme of peace throughout a hurting world," explains PHS A Capella Choir Director, Pam McClain.
While this may be a gift small in size, the Parkersburg High School A Capella Choir wanted to give an even bigger gift to the Newtown community, and that gift, is the gift of song."
"We really wanted to somehow contribute and pay tribute to those lives who were singing with the angels. So we sang over this tree," McClain adds.
"Whenever we're singing the songs, I don't just feel connected to those who have passed away, I also feel connected to the whole community. I felt like together we could get through it and be together through them and live in honor of them," Emily Cramer, PHS student says.
The school has been in contact with Newtown and is making plans to send the tree there.

US Labor Department announces 3 National Emergency Grants to assist more than 750 workers in Puerto Rico affected by recent plant closures
WASHINGTON The U.S. Department of Labor today awarded three National Emergency Grants totaling more than $4 million to the Puerto Rico Department of Labor and Human Resources that will assist more than 750 workers affected by recent plant closures and resulting layoffs in Puerto Rico.
"The services provided through these federal grants will help these dislocated workers improve their re-employment prospects by providing training to prepare them for careers in high-demand industries," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis.
A $1,928,745 grant will assist more than 400workers affected by the closure of three Bluewater Defense Inc. locations and of Legacy Pharmaceuticals International, all located in eastern Puerto Rico. The funds will provide employment and training services to prepare dislocated workers for jobs in the advanced manufacturing, financial services, information technology, health care and retail industries.
A $1,061,970 grant will provide employment-related services to about 200 workers affected by the closure of Checkpoint Caribbean Ltd. in Ponce. The funds will provide dislocated workers, many of whom are also eligible to receive Trade Adjustment Assistance, with access to "wrap-around" and supportive services unavailable through the TAA program.
A $1,136,000 grant will assist about 160 workers affected by the closure of Bumble Bee Foods LLC in Mayaguez. The funds will provide employment and training services to assist the dislocated workers in obtaining jobs in the construction, energy, hospitality, retail and transportation sectors.
National Emergency Grants are part of the secretary of labor's discretionary fund and are awarded based on a state or territory's ability to meet specific guidelines. For more information, visit http://www.doleta.gov/NEG/.

I just saw Dr. Rahal's interview earlier today which he spoke briefly of strip and fue. He did mention a fue robot, I am not sure if he has one yet or if he was mentioning Canada in general. I didn't have surgery with the Robot, it was through the motorized SAFE fue method I believe. But for those who want to see the doctor talk about the methods, check it out here.
Zen, Mickey, Capelli, it's brutally hard being patient. I am devoting so much time back on forums to look for the whys, hows, ifs and what not day n night. I need to find peace but have obstacles ahead.
Me and my wife have had marital issues due to this. We had a court marriage when we got married 1+ years ago. A reason was, I wanted to look best for our memorable professional photography for our event so I opted for hair restoration to get things sorted so I could. So, she has been waiting for the special family event and knows how important this is to me. At the same time, since I didn't have the funds, her family took up the tab to make her happy so we can all have this event which they booked for this October. It is right around the corner. Again, I am here trying to avoid it because of the issues. I just don't want my photos taken for such an event as I am still waiting and getting paranoid. I don't know if concealer would help or would be apparent ruining our pics. So, you can imagine the stress I am in. I am frustrated and feel emotionally helpless because I thought I can get away from my worries but am having issues fulfilling a promise. Even if I could, I wouldn't be able to squeeze a procedure in between to save my ass and hope for instant miracle growth. I might just go with a ceaser look which I passionatley do not want but what can you do at this point. I can't flaunt a sticking up from the front hairstyle I wanted right now. As much as I am trying to be patient, it is making things unhealthy for me and folks around me as I am struggling to cope with it for the time being. The end of September would conclude a full completion of 12 months since my procedure.
I will continue to update again soon. Zen, I wont stop reporting to remain consistent. Thanks for the feedback everyone as always.

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate your dedication to the updates, so thanks for that. And, thanks for posting the video of Rahal's interview. I didn't know he had one of those robots.
As far as your hair and photos go, have you considered trying the style you want, but with Toppik or Dermmatch artfully applied? Since you have plenty of hair at your hairline, I'm sure those products would be very effective.
I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. I can definitely understand as my hair is very important to me as well and something like this would affect me in the same way. I would say give Toppik a shot. I know people with much less hair than you and their hair improves tremendously after applying Toppik. Maybe try it out and have someone take photos to see if you like the look. It should get you by for October and then you can have a second procedure. I wish you all the best!

Sean, if it going to be only 1000 grafts as a Rahal guarantee work then try to ask them done manually. It would be much safer in my opinion. Good luck Bro, keep us updated about your coming procedure and how many grafts are you going with? I really feel your situation Buddy.
P.S. I wouldn't trust an ARTAS robot on my head, motorized tool would be much better than a robot if i had to choose one of these two, at least there is more control with the surgeon's hands lol...

Sean, don't let it get you down dude. You hair is much improved and if you decide to have it touched up it will get even better. I have never used Toppik, but sounds like it might help you. Hang in there buddy.

I admit that I have not read this entire thread but I am a bit confused on this one. I read posts of people saying "Keep your chin up", "I feel for you", etc. Then I looked at your 8 month result and your hair looks absolutely phenominal. Now, I know it only matters what you feel about it but you have a great head of hair now (and actually had a pretty darn good one even before you sat in the chair). I just dont get what you are seeing that is making you dislike your hair so much. If YOU dislike your hair, then 80% of us on this site mine as well pack it in and never leave the house

Cant decide,
I agree that Sean's hair must be enviable for many on this forum, but I think the issue is yield. He had a little over 3000 grafts implanted mostly at his hairline. That's a lot of grafts for a relatively small area.
I couldn't guess what his yield percentage must be, but I'd venture to say that it's lower than what should be expected from a world-class surgeon like Dr. Rahal, FUE notwithstanding. While I wouldn't consider his procedure a failure, I think it was reasonable for Sean to expect a denser result, and I can understand why he would be disappointed given that expectation.

What the hell...
Ok here is the link. =)
I'm glad you liked it. =)I'm going to see him next month. With all new material! Yeah!
hehe :)
and this one on Apple
I just had my apple headset replaced cuz the right speaker was busted and it created this annoying buzz in that ear! (and what a hassle it was) And there are so many features available on all my previous phones that don't exist on this thing! Like I can't delete calls individually, and only 2 call lists instead of three (incoming and outgoing can not be separated) it's all or nothing, and the calendar event alert is not customisable! oh and a bunch of other things. He bitches about video messaging, funny cuz I was using the internet on my CDMA cellphone in 2001, blisteringly fast, sharing same bandwidth as calls, cellphone internet has been getting slower ever since! I was a magazine editor on a great huge MacIntosh back in 1988, I used to be a hardcore MACcer :) I had an LCIII that worked great until I sold it for 300$ in 2000! Great resale value for a 10 y/o computer! I also feel the incredible "need" to buy a macbook AIR, but I'm denying myself :)
Ah Swedish, I want my Firefox to have an instant voice translator function, I'm sure it will shortly :)
Did you see him in person?
In his other video posts, he tried several variations on the Moses story, mostly without the GPS part. I think it's quite hilarious: 40 years for 300 miles!!!! Come on now, it is so nonsensical that it is simply funny! :)
Archaeologically speaking, there has never been one shred of evidence unearthed that points to such an exodus, scientists have been looking long and hard. Will we find such evidence someday in the future? maybe yes maybe no. I don't think there will ever be any evidence found.
Exodus is one of my favourite parts of the bible, because without it we wound say things like:
-ten commandments make no sense because don't kill means don't kill Jews, but nonjews, ah, do what you like.
-how many people were killed in the name of god you say? 1, 2... how about millions!
-wasn't god cruel when he killed moses right before the end? He learned his lesson, don't trust god
-mana from space? Now that is ridiculous. I mean, if you can make mana out of nothing why haven't you been more creative, like sundaes for everyone. But they aren't kosher probably.
-water from a stone. Now, why is that a miracle, it happens all the time.
So you are not using your brain if you can't find some other explanation for forty years in the dessert except 300 miles or they got lost. How about they killed, stoned each other, bickered, fought and were lazy because they couldn't listen to moses any more who probably kept them in the dessert on purpose because he wanted to be in control and this was the only way. Man are bad with change.
yep those are funny too! Frankly, everything from the bible is funny when it comes down to it. But I like the simple and effective, but also original, how many other comics have come up with that one! :)
So... are you headed for a religious comic career as well? :)

(DAYTON, Iowa) — As the search for Kathlynn Shepard, 15, entered its third day Wednesday, new details emerged about the man accused of kidnapping her and a younger girl from a school bus stop before he killed himself in his truck in a secluded area.
Police have identified Michael Klunder, a registered sex offender from Stratford, Iowa, as the sole suspect in the girls' abduction. He was found dead on Monday evening, four hours after he allegedly kidnapped Kathlynn and her 12-year-old companion as the two got off a school bus around 4 p.m. Monday, Lt. Robert Hanson of the Iowa Department of Public Safety told ABC News.
Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames.
Klunder had spent years in and out of prison, including time served for a 1991 conviction on charges that he kidnapped and assaulted a woman, and kidnapped two 3-year-olds. The children were later found alive.
Klunder allegedly drove the girls around in his truck for hours on Monday, crisscrossing large swaths of the rural areas near the town of Dayton, police said.
Around 5:30 p.m. Monday, just as authorities were about to issue an Amber Alert, police learned that the 12-year-old had escaped from the parked truck and hid out in the woods, and then made her way to a nearby house and called for help, Hanson said.
That girl, who has not been identified, was taken to a hospital and later discharged.
Around 8 p.m. police located Klunder's pickup truck and found him dead inside.
There were, however, no signs of Kathlynn.
Hundreds of police officers and volunteers have been scouring a network of rural roads and trails in the search for 15-year-old. Police have deployed aircraft and dogs as part of the effort.
Police are treating the search for Kathlynn as a rescue, but as the days pass the chances of finding her alive dwindle, police said.
Kathlynn is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, and weighing 160 pounds. She was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and a Vikings cap.
The kidnapping comes less than a year after two young cousins were abducted less than 90 miles from Dayton. Lyric Cook, 10, and Elizabeth Collins, 8, went missing while riding their bikes in July. Their bodies were found by hunters last December in the Seven Bridges Wildlife Area of northeastern Iowa.

Submission + - IBM exposes future networked healthcare devices (networkworld.com)
coondoggie writes: "IBM came out with a study today that looks at what future healthcare applications and devices, be they PCs, tablet or smart phone might look like. The study notes that medical device makers have in the past few years successfully targeted consumers who are extremely health or fitness conscious as well as those who need to be regularly monitored because of a serious health problem. But the IBM study says those devices and services could now go a step further and integrate mobile and home-based devices with web-based resources, electronic and personal health records to help people make more well-informed medial decisions and actually help manage their healthcare situation more proactively."

NPR rings OE Subaru manufacturer?
Posted 30 October 2012 - 12:33 PM
Listed on the Small Car Performance website (they are local to me in Tacoma) they state they have sourced OE Subaru rings from the Manufacturer - they don't list who the manufacturer is but I have found out they are selling NPR rings calling those rings OE for Subaru.
I know they (NPR) do supply OE rings for some Japanese makes, but I have never heard anything conclusive who makes the Subaru rings. Searching here I have not found a lot of info on whether these rings are any good or not.
Can anyone chime in with regards to the NPR rings? Good, Bad, no issues?
Posted 30 October 2012 - 12:59 PM
I like to know and find OEM suppliers of critical engine parts too and finding OEM manufacturers often seems harder than it should.
Posted 30 October 2012 - 02:16 PM
As Gary said, specs and suppliers change from time to time. The manufacturer that made the original rings for a certain engine may not even be in business anymore. The vehicle manufacturer just finds another source. There is usually a test cycle to determine which rings they find suited to their needs, then they make a deal for an order based on cost and production times.

I read the Mitsubishi guys love the NPR piston & ring sets.
Posted 30 October 2012 - 03:17 PM
Posted 30 October 2012 - 04:21 PM
I'm running NPRs in my franky. 240psi on all 4 cylinders... I'd say they're decent.
Wow, that is a lot of cylinder pressure. Stock EJ25D and DP EJ22 heads? How thick of head gasket .051"?
I was wondering what kind of cylinder pressures the Franks put out.
Posted 30 October 2012 - 04:35 PM
Posted 30 October 2012 - 05:03 PM
Posted 30 October 2012 - 05:14 PM
Someone correct me if I am wrong but doesn't 240psi equate to about a 16:1 compression ratio?
There is, however, no formula to calculate compression ratio based on cylinder pressure
Posted 30 October 2012 - 05:18 PM
Someone correct me if I am wrong but doesn't 240psi equate to about a 16:1 compression ratio?
Calculated it at about 11.2:1 given the shaved heads, thin HG, and displacement.
Posted 30 October 2012 - 05:42 PM
I've tested a few stock EJ22 engines and they come in at about 190 - 200 psi. Stock compression ratio is supposed to be about 9.7:1.
As a ratio, that works out pretty evenly.
Of course these numbers mean nothing scientifically. :-p
16:1 compression would be way outta the ball park for an N/A EJ engine though.
Posted 30 October 2012 - 06:32 PM
Need engine management?
Posted 30 October 2012 - 08:14 PM
If you have 240psi cranking compression....that's excellent, and the cam would have to figure into that calculation.
Need engine management?
Yes I do lol. Looking into PP6 and dyno tune through Pre.
Posted 30 October 2012 - 08:37 PM
Combustion Chamber Volume: 41 cc's
Piston Dish Volume: 12 cc's (would that actually be measured like (negative) -12 cc's
Posted 30 October 2012 - 10:57 PM
Posted 31 October 2012 - 12:51 AM
Yes I do lol. Looking into PP6 and dyno tune through Pre.
I would rethink that. PRE is less than stellar in my experience - I have quite a few of their unhappy customers. They couldn't tune a PP6 on a 92 SS. I'm building him a MegaSquirt because it runs so badly...... You should see the hack work they do! I just opened a tranny they replaced third gear on to find three gear teeth left inside of a very dirty transmission case. Luckily no damage was done but the customer was right to be concerned when two teeth showed up on his drain plug. I found another inside when I opened it.
Talk to Jared of PDX tuning. Or I can let you know when I get all the bugs worked out of my MegaSquirt build.
Posted 31 October 2012 - 10:43 AM
I like NPR Rings just fine. Use them all the time.
That's what I always use too.
Posted 01 November 2012 - 07:31 PM
It says Fuji right on it, So I think it gives cred to these being OE.

Dear Henci Goer,
in Slovenia we are in the middle of public discussion about reorganization of the whole maternity care system with gynecological care for healthy women included. Group of different health care professional produce problematic document, Ministry of Health praise it, and in six weeks anybody can comment it.
As the representative of only non-governmental organization dedicated to improve conditions of becoming mother I'm kindly asking for clarification.
They insist that maternity unit with less than 1000 births per year is potentially dangerous because doctors and midwives don't have enough experiences to recognize rare complications and are not skilled enough to help when CS, vaginal breech delivery is needed. So they say that the criteria for maternity unit is: more than 1000 birth per year (and something like 3-4 CS per week, 1-2 vacuum extraction per week, 1-2 breech and twins per fourteen days) – in such circumstances, they say, health professionals would have enough skills and experiences. And maternity units with less than 1000 births per year should be closed.
They say that with fewer procedures per year per hospital we put future mothers and their babies into danger – in small maternity units health professionals slowly lose their ability to recognize complication and to answer properly.
I think the first problem is to take procedures of maternity unit and not procedures of individual doctors. In the same hospital some of them are having more CS then others, the same for breech babies.
(In Slovenia we have some doctors and midwives who suggest vaginal birth if everything else is OK with mother and baby ... and some who suggest CS in advance – I know about scientific data about breech birth.)
What is the proper solution to enable the particular doctor in the maternity unit to be ready as a professional to recognized complication and to react on it in the best way? Is there really any scientific data about how many procedures per year (CS, vacuum extractions) doctor need to stay in excellent form? What about sending them on regular training (once per year ... or something like that) into the tertiary hospital where there are women with high/er risk to practice ... or?
This is very important for our goal: we would like to help with establishing first freestanding midwifery birth center in Slovenia and we are working towards circumstances for home births, too. And of course we would like to have good maternity units/hospitals with doctors to help with CS and other procedures when needed ... in reasonable radium. If the small maternity units are closed, there will be a problem with finding good location for birth center(s); and this would be also problem of background for home births. With centralization of maternity units - on the grounds of safety – we will lose an opportunity to broaden the choices of women to deliver at home, in birth center(s) or in hospital; we'll be limited to the proximity of big centers.
So, maybe you can help me with your opinion.
And thank you in advance.
Best wishes,
Society Natural Beginnings www.mamazofa.org
Here are some basic data about Slovenian maternity system:
Slovenia: 21.856 babies born in the year 2009
Perinatal mortality for 2004 was 7,4/1000 births (for babies with birth weight over 1000 g 4,6/1000 births
maternal mortality (0-4 women per year):
1998-2001 12,5 /100.000 live babies

I'm not sure if any of you have heard the controversy going on with Applebees, Pastor Bell and a recently fired waitress. Apparently, Pastor Bell refused to pay her automatic 18% gratuity and wrote a snide comment on the receipt about how she gives God 10%, why should she give her 18%. The receipt was posted to reddit, the pastor was outed and Applebees subsequently fired the waitress for posting the receipt online.
People seem to be outraged that Applebees fired the employee, however the employee did violate the customers privacy. If you take a look at Applebee's facebook, twitter or various internet sources there are thousands of people saying they'll never go back. I'm not sure why you'd go there in the first place. Their food is terrible. But alas, what do you think?
Do you think Pastor Bell is Springs? Should the waitress have been fired? Will you boycott Applebees?

Carla Berube ran her first practice session Nov. 1. Two weeks later, tapping off at the Skidmore Invitational, the Tufts women's basketball squad shut down the hosts, 50-30.
Foes have failed to reach 40 points against Tufts eight other times since, the Jumbos' in-your-face ball pressure serving as the foundation for a 22-0 start entering Saturday afternoon's NESCAC showdown at fellow unbeaten Amherst (21-0).
Tufts is ranked fifth in Division 3 — one place behind Amherst.
Berube stressed making stops from Day 1 and her players have bought in. As a result, Tufts leads the nation in scoring defense (42.5 points per game).
"They love it, and they get after it," said Berube, who is 209-72 in her 11 seasons on the Tufts bench. "Ball pressure is really important."
The Jumbos attempt to force three to five shot-clock violations per game.
"[We] always try to have our offense fueled off of our defense, and forcing turnovers," said senior captain Bre Dufault, who likely will spend part of the afternoon defending her best friend since third grade, Amherst captain Bridget Crowley, a fellow Minnechaug Regional graduate.
Amherst has won a staggering 76 straight games at LeFrak Gymnasium and owns a 39-game winning streak against NESCAC foes, including a pair of wins over Tufts last season.
"Every game is important, but to have two teams this far along in the season undefeated, it's really remarkable," said G.P. Gromacki, Amherst's sixth-year coach.
Amherst has a stellar sophomore in Megan Robertson, a 6-foot-2-inch forward from Tewksbury who leads the team in rebounding (9.2) and blocked shots (2.9) while averaging 12.0 points per game. But senior guard Marcia Voigt is "their go-to player," according to Berube. She leads the team at 13.0 points per game.
Tufts is led offensively by sophomore guard Hannah Foley of Acton, who is averaging a team-high 12.0 points per game, while connecting on 38.5 percent of her shots from beyond the arc.
The Jumbos' 22-0 start is "sort of the elephant in the room," conceded Berube, "but the players are mature, they understand that it is one game at a time. One game is not going to hurt our season."Craig Larson can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Waterford police are still searching for a woman who they say stole a shopping cart with a senior citizen's purse in it Tuesday while the shopper was picking out a melon at a local Meijer.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Pontiac-area resident Deborah Lynn Simmons, 49, who police believe is the suspect in the theft. She has a lengthy criminal history of similar incidents that reaches back to 1985, said Waterford Police Chief Dan McCaw. He added Simmons' arrest warrant is related to absconding parole.
Authorities were called around 3:30 p.m. to the Meijer, 4200 Highland Road, by a 90-year-old Pontiac woman who told officers she was looking at produce and turned around to find her cart missing.
A short time later, the woman's cart was found a few aisles over. Two bank envelopes containing cash and a wallet with credit cards inside the woman's purse were missing.
Meijer security video shows the Simmons looking at the cart while the 90-year-old's back was turned. Next, she is shown grabbing the cart, walking away with it, taking the money and cards from the purse and walking out of the store.
McCaw said by 1 p.m. Wednesday, the police department had gotten more than 40 calls from people who either wanted to donate money to help the elderly woman or identify the suspect.
Since then, police department employees and the agency's benevolent fund are going to replace the money that was stolen from the victim.
"It's a sad situation that we have people that prey on the elderly, but there are people out there who could care less about other people and that's why they do these types of things -- they're going to take advantage of every opportunity to satisfy their desires, whatever they might be," said McCaw. The suspect has a lengthy criminal history, added the chief.
"We've had several people call in, upset, saying, 'That could've been my mom, or my grandmother."
On Facebook, readers were outraged that something like this could happen. Angela Maria Williams said she could relate.
"My mom is 80. I take her shopping for her groceries for this reason alone. This makes me so sad and I ... have been a victim of theft and I am sure this ... does this on a full-time basis," Williams said.
Waterford native Pete Czank, who said he "never had to worry about this type of garbage," fears situations like Tuesday's are "what children from Waterford have to look forward to."
Sally Sears Chappell Lathrop, writing on The Oakland Press' Facebook page, commented that social media may have helped spread the news of the theft to someone who knows the suspect.
"This is why I love (Facebook). Her closest acquaintances are going to know what she did," Lathrop said.
The Meijer theft is the exact reason why Waterford's McCaw said he stresses the "Policing is a partnership" motto.
"Most of us think with common sense, sympathy and rationality -- we've had people wanting to help, saying they knew who the suspect was -- but criminals don't think that way, they're just opportunists who prey on anybody," McCaw said.
Waterford police warn shoppers to be aware of their surroundings and make sure their valuables are close to them at all times. Anyone who may have seen this incident is asked to call Waterford police at 248-618-7550.

HARVARD – The Harvard Education Association and the District 50 school board have reached a tentative two-year agreement.
The contract, covering the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years, ends six months of negotiations.
Details are being withheld until teachers and the administration approve it.
Union leaders will present the deal to their members in a meeting Wednesday. If teachers approve, the deal will go back to the school board for ratification, likely at the regularly scheduled Jan. 16 meeting, the district said in a news release.
"Everyone's pleased that we've reached a tentative agreement," District 50 spokesman Bill Clow said. "We're glad we got to this point, and we're ready to move forward."
Negotiations began in June, and the two sides brought in a federal mediator in October.
"They got to a point where they felt like bringing in a mediator would help move things forward," Clow said.
Clow declined to comment on what specifically held up an agreement and a union representative referred questions about negotiations to Clow.
Board President Richard Stoxen could not be reached for comment.
Approximately 2,500 students go to District 50 schools, which include Harvard High School, Harvard Junior High School, Jefferson School, Crosby Elementary and Washington School.
The Harvard Education Association has about 130 members.

Now that we're deep into June, our minds are going to backyard barbecues and picnics.
Picnics are that unique dining experience, perhaps sitting at a table on our own back deck or maybe we'll have a wicker basket packed with goodies on a blanket in the park. Either way the event calls for some unique and tasty food.
We're going to start off this column with a croissant sandwich recipe and pair that with a versatile salad. When thinking of sandwiches we want something tasty and unique, that we can put together in a short period of time. For our salad recipe there are several different ways to go and we will discuss them all.
Turkey and Toasted Pecan Croissants
Yield 4
4 Tbl unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup toasted pecans, finely chopped
1 1/2 tsp orange zest
4 croissants, sliced in half
6 ounces cooked turkey breast, thinly sliced
iceberg lettuce, cleaned and dried
balsamic vinaigrette
optional: four slices Swiss cheese, or your favorite
In a medium bowl, combine butter, pecans and orange zest, mix until well blended. Spread this mixture onto half of each croissant, top with the slices of turkey, (cheese on top of the turkey if you choose). Now sprinkle 1 teaspoon out balsamic vinaigrette on top of the turkey and cover with the lettuce and the rest of your croissant.
Our second recipe is going to be a pasta salad or a broccoli slaw, depending on which way you want to go.
Picnic Salad Foundation
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
3 Tbl cider vinegar
2 Tbl sugar, half white sugar and half brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
Whisk all ingredients and set aside.
All the rest
4 slices smoked bacon, cooked crispy and chopped on large pieces
1 1/2 ounce Monterey Jack cheese, small dice
1 1/2 ounce Colby cheese, small dice
1/2 red onion, small dice
1 cup frozen sweet baby peas
1 cup broccoli florets, blanched, chopped
To make broccoli slaw add one 12 to 16 ounce bag of shredded broccoli slaw combined with all the above ingredients.
For pasta salad cook up 6 ounces of tricolored rotini, drain cool and mix with all the above ingredients. You should also add one or more cups of chopped cauliflower. With the pasta salad dressing may thicken as it is absorbed into the pasta. If that happens, feel free to add in two or 3 tablespoons of whole milk and mix well.

Best motion detecting video software out there. These guys could easily charge for this, and I would pay. But it's FREE! Woohoo! Beats ZoneMinder, hands down, in simplicity, customizability, and System resource usage (not a hog).
Motion is a great piece of software. We've written a tutorial on how to build a surveillance camera with a Raspberry Pi and motion: www.codeproject.com/Articles/665518/Raspberry-Pi-as-low-cost-HD-surveillance-camera
Great software for Raspberry pi and Ubuntu. 2 questions: Can I switch off the LED from attached webcam? configuration of IP cam, I cannot unchoose Video0. when preview it gives always webcam preview also when ip is selected. what I have to do?
Most features work great! I'm using a Logitech C615 HD USB webcam and motion handles 1080p just fine. My only problem is that "video_pipe" and "Motion_pipe" functions don't work with Ubuntu 12.10 and I need these so that I can use Motion for security and GoogleTalk/Skype at the same time.
good job

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Cal Poly (21-14, 5-4 Big West), which has won five of eight series and is all alone in third place in the Big West Conference standings, visits Big West co-leader Cal State Fullerton (24-12, 7-2 Big West) for a three-game series this weekend at Goodwin Field (cap.: 3,500).
First pitches are set for 7 p.m. Friday, 6 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday. All three games of the series will be aired live on ESPN Radio 1280 with Tom Barket providing the play-by-play. Audio and video streams as well as live stats will be available on www.gopoly.com.
Cal Poly returned 16 letter winners, including five position starters and five pitchers, off its 2011 squad which finished 27-26 overall and third in the Big West at 15-9. The Mustangs started the year 0-6 before winning 27 of their next 44 games.
Cal Poly is off to a better start in 2012 with series sweeps against Oklahoma State (3-0), Loyola Marymount (4-0) and UC Irvine (3-0) as well as series wins over Washington (2-1) and San Diego State (3-1). The Mustangs, 7-1 in February, posted a 10-8 record in March, including series losses to Minnesota and Long Beach State, and are 4-5 so far in April after winning one of three games at Cal State Northridge over the weekend and falling 5-3 to Fresno State on Tuesday.
The Cal State Northridge series was to open Friday afternoon at Matador Field, but rain postponed the game and the Matadors and Mustangs played a doubleheader Saturday. Cal State Northridge claimed the opener 6-5 in 11 innings while Kyle Anderson pitched seven strong innings as Cal Poly bounced back with a 6-1 triumph in the nightcap. The Mustangs stranded 15 runners on the basepaths in the series finale Sunday, won by the Matadors 6-3.
Cal Poly let a 3-1 lead slip away in the ninth as Fresno State scored four times for the win, handing the Mustangs their first loss of the season in 21 games in which Cal Poly led after eight innings.
Cal State Fullerton won two of three games at UC Irvine last weekend, bouncing back from a 4-1 setback in the opener for 13-2 and 5-3 triumphs. The Titans also rallied with seven runs in the seventh and eighth frames to turn 2-1 and 6-5 deficits into an 8-6 win over Pepperdine in Tuesday.
Cal Poly's top hitter through 35 games is junior center fielder Mitch Haniger, who went 8-for-13 in the Cal State Northridge series, had 10 hits in four games last week en route to Big West Player of the Week honors and added three more hits in Tuesday's loss to Fresno State. He currently is hitting .343 and leads the Mustangs with seven home runs and 37 RBI.
Sophomore third baseman Jimmy Allen sports a .341 average with nine doubles, two home runs and 20 RBI. He went 7-for-14 in the Cal State Northridge series and has produced a pair of seven-game hitting streaks this season. Senior shortstop Mike Miller (pictured above) is hitting .336 with 10 doubles, four triples, 22 RBI and 35 runs scored. He had a 14-game hitting streak earlier this season. Sophomore left fielder David Armendariz is hitting .311 with six doubles and 17 RBI while freshman right fielder Nick Torres has a .286 mark with 10 doubles and 20 RBI.
Cal Poly's pitching rotation for the weekend series includes junior right-hander Joey Wagman (5-2, 2.40 ERA) on Friday, senior southpaw Kyle Anderson (6-1, 2.08 ERA) (pictured above) on Saturday and junior right-hander Kyle Brueggemann (4-3, 4.76 ERA) on Sunday.
Cal State Fullerton, coached by Rick Vanderhook (first season, 24-12, Trinity University '03), returned 16 lettermen, including six position starters and two pitchers, off a team which went 41-17 a year ago, finished first in the Big West Conference at 19-5 and was selected to participate in the NCAA Fullerton Regional, posting a 1-2 mark.
The Titans have played 12 games against top-25 teams, losing two of three at No. 1 Florida but winning series against No. 15 Texas Christian and No. 6 Texas A&M and splitting two games against No. 14 Arizona State. Cal State Fullerton also has won series against Utah Valley, Long Beach State, Oral Roberts, Cal State Northridge, UC Davis and UC Irvine. The Titans have won 10 of their last 13 games.
Top hitters so far in 2012 for the Titans are third baseman Richy Pedroza (.328, 17 RBI), center fielder Michael Lorenzen (.317, 12 doubles, 24 RBI, 11 steals) and first baseman Carlos Lopez (.317, 10 doubles, 19 RBI). The pitching staff is paced by right-handers Dylan Floro (5-3, 2.32 ERA) and Grahamm Wiest (3-3, 3.24 ERA) along with southpaw Kenny Mathews (4-0, 3.10 ERA). The closer is Lorenzen with a 0.63 ERA and 12 saves.
Cal State Fullerton captured NCAA College World Series titles in 1979, 1984, 1995 and 2004, has appeared in the NCAA postseason 33 times, including 20 straight, has reached the College World Series 16 times and has claimed 25 conference championships.
Cal Poly and Cal State Fullerton have met 92 times on the baseball field since the series began when both teams were California Collegiate Athletic Association members back in 1966. The Titans hold a 59-33 advantage, though Cal Poly has enjoyed some recent success with six victories in the last 15 meetings over the last five seasons, winning series at home in 2007 and 2011.
Cal Poly was ranked No. 22 by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper after its 7-1 start and No. 27 last week after sweeping UC Irvine.
A year ago Cal Poly posted its sixth winning season in the last eight years, and a third-place finish in the highly competitive Big West Conference at 15-9. The Mustangs have finished in the upper half of the league standings eight times in the last 10 years. Cal Poly was 7-4 against top-25 teams in 2011 and finished 19-7 at home.
Cal Poly is 11-1 on Saturday, 5-1 in shutouts, 20-1 when leading after eight innings, 16-3 when outhitting its foes and 14-4 when making fewer errors than the opposition this season.
Next week Cal Poly plays at Fresno State on Tuesday at 6:05 p.m. before returning home to host Pacific for a Big West series April 27-29.

Attorney General Lockyer Files First Lawsuit Against Telemarketer for Calling Phone Numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry
(SACRAMENTO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today filed a civil complaint against a California company that placed commercial phone calls to California consumers who had registered their phone numbers on the national Do Not Call list. The lawsuit is believed to be the first filed in the country against a company for phoning numbers on the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) registry, which went into effect last month.
"This lawsuit should put all telemarketers on notice to get a copy of the Do Not Call registry and take the law seriously," Lockyer said. "Millions of Californians registered their phone numbers on the national list to reclaim their privacy and family lives from telemarketers. If you're on the FTC's registry and still getting calls, report it so we can continue to aggressively enforce the law to protect Californians."
Filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, the complaint alleges that American Home Craft, Inc., a home improvement company and licensed contractor, violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by placing telemarketing calls to California phone numbers listed on the FTC's Do Not Call Registry. The complaint also alleges American Home Craft violated state law by engaging in unfair competition.
Based in Hayward, with offices in Sacramento, San Diego and Irvine, the company is alleged to have placed illegal phone calls to dozens of California consumers. The Attorney General's Office accesses the FTC list daily to monitor complaints filed by California consumers and identify companies that are violating the Do Not Call laws. Dozens of complaints were filed by Californians in 12 area codes near the company's four offices.
The investigation by the Attorney General's Office also revealed American Home Craft never attempted to purchase the Do Not Call registry. Since September 1, the registry has been available for businesses to purchase so that they can remove from their internal marketing lists all phone numbers that are registered on the national list. Because businesses were given 30 days to scrub their lists of registered phone numbers, the federal law was scheduled to go into effect on October 1. However, a court order temporarily shut the program down. As a result, the Attorney General's Office and the FTC are focusing on violations that were committed on or after October 17.
As president of the National Association of Attorneys General, Lockyer took the lead in filing a friend of the court brief on behalf of 46 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico defending the federal statute in the two challenges brought by telemarketers. The cases have been joined, and oral arguments are expected later this month in federal court in Tulsa, Okla.
Under the TCPA, the court may award up $500 for each violation, and up to $1,500 per violation if the act was willful. California's unfair competition statute provides for civil penalties of up to $2,500 per violation. The actual amount of penalties obtained against American Home Craft will depend on the number of violations proven at trial, but the Attorney General's complaint asks the court for at least $100,000. When California's Do Not Call law goes into effect January 1, 2004, the Attorney General will be able to file lawsuits under the state statute and obtain penalties of up to $11,000 per violation. The suit also asks for a permanent injunction, requiring the company to abide by the law.
While most telemarketers are covered by the registry, there are exceptions for charities, political groups and, under the pending state law, small businesses with five employees or less. However, even exempt organizations are banned from calling phone numbers listed on the national Do Not Call registry if they use a professional telemarketer to sell goods or services on their behalf.
Federal law also, and the state law will, allow a company that has an "established business relationship" to continue calling a customer for up to18 months after the customer's last purchase payment or delivery – even if the customer's number is on the national Do Not Call registry. Companies to which a consumer has made an inquiry or submitted an application are permitted to call for three months. However, if a consumer asks a company to not call, it must honor that request even if it has an established business relationship with the consumer
Telephone numbers placed on the national Do Not Call registry will stay on the list for five years unless a consumer changes numbers or removes them from the list. The federal law requires businesses to check the list every 90 days and remove from their marketing lists all new numbers that have been added.
Lockyer said that although there are still companies violating the Do Not Call law, consumers who have registered their numbers are reporting a dramatic drop in the number of unwanted phone calls. He urged Californians who wish to block unsolicited commercial calls to register their numbers by visiting the FTC's website at www.donotcall.gov or calling 1-888-382-1222.

When Ken Parent, principal of Balfour Academy, told me to contact Bob Diehl about Hendersonville Printing Company sponsoring a bear for our school, I was under the impression someone else would be doing the painting. I've seen the bears downtown and they are always fabulous.
When I spoke to him and he expressed an interest in the Balfour Art Academy doing the painting, it was a big surprise. I was a little apprehensive because it is a big project to take on. How do you start it, who will work on it and how do you paint it to suit someone else? It was an opportunity for my students and for our school that I couldn't pass up.
Diehl and I spoke about the expectations for the bear. He suggested a Benjamin Franklin theme since Franklin was a printer, inventor and founder of an educational institution. We discussed a few things he would like to see incorporated, such as bifocals and the tri corner hat, but left the rest to us.
We knew we wanted to represent printing and education, but also the Union Fire Station he founded, to represent our Firefighter Academy. We began our project with a combined history and grammar lesson with Ben Franklin as the subject, thanks to one of our history teachers. I told my students about the project and formed a team of those interested to begin planning.
I had them research Ben Franklin and his accomplishments, inventions and discoveries and then separate fact from fiction. I drew a template of the standing bear and had the team research the time period and come up with a design for his clothing. We had to decide how we would represent his endeavors tastefully, without taking away from the bear.
When the plain white bear arrived it was a little overwhelming, but the students' excitement grew. The final product would end up on Main Street, representing our school, for everyone to see. My intermediate art students really took the lead on the project. Jacob, Hannah, Ashley, Katlin and Tyler started the prep work and doing the under painting on the bear. Tyler Pacilli designed the outfit and between the two of us, we worked on the clothing, fur, hair and details of the bear.
As an artist, it was hard to let go and entrust such a project to students who don't have experience painting a three-dimensional structure like the fiberglass bear. As an educator I had to give my students that experience; after all, it is just paint and we could paint over any mishaps.
As "Ben" started to take form my confidence grew in the project and in my students as well. Students and teachers from around the school would stop in to see the progress. It was really something to see the transformation from week to week and we took pictures to document our progress. When Diehl came to pick up the bear, he was very pleased.
The end result was beyond what I could have imagined. With the generosity of Diehl and HPC, our students were able to be a part of something that the entire community will be able to see. It made such an impact on them that someone in the community actually believed in us enough to entrust this project to us and sponsor it. Being a part of this project is something they will be able to remember forever. We hope to have the opportunity to work in conjunction with HPC printing in the future.

Benjamin Franklin Bear has been in the back of my mind for the last few years, but the proper venue for his emergence did not present itself.
I recognize Benjamin Franklin as a significant player in the formation of our country, its public responsibility and its governmental structure. Additionally, he was an amazing man on multiple fronts including scientific, governmental, educational and printing. I found it significant that Franklin signed his name with the annotation "PRINTER."
Franklin provided a great opportunity to combine educational research, art and printing in a manner that would be informative and contribute artistically to the community. All that was needed was for the proper beneficiary and artist to reveal themselves to my concept.
That happened at the Chamber of Commerce Morning Update meeting when the principal of the Balfour Academy spoke to the group about the astounding achievements being realized at the academy. Parent's description of how Balfour embraces students who are under-performing in a traditional learning environment and turns them into academic stars and career-ready contributors to society brought the concept of Benjamin Franklin Bear to the forefront of my thought process.
I approached Parent after his talk and asked him if the Balfour would consider a partnership with Hendersonville Printing Co. and CopyWorks to bring Benjamin Franklin Bear to life and as they say, the rest is history.
I feel Martina Zinn's leadership of the students in researching, designing and painting the bear achieved an extraordinary result. Highlighting the achievements of Benjamin Franklin on the buttons and colonial coat of BFB achieved a unique combination of Art and History that should be of interest to the visitors of Hendersonville as well as the bear's final owner.
