Getting tested for a genetic susceptibility to Alzheimer's, especially if the disease runs in your family, is a very personal decision. However, knowing the results, particularly if they do show an increased risk, may help you make the right decisions about your life now.
By Marie Marley
Alzheimer's Reading Room
Some people with such family histories, and some without such histories, wish to have a genetic test that will answer the question: 'Will I be next?'"
But the real question is "Would I Want to Know?"
Brett Blumenthal, writing on sheerbalance.com, presents some pros and cons of receiving the answer to this question.
Her "cons" are:
- Many of the tests are not accurate – plus, having a predisposition doesn't mean you're definitely going to get the condition.
- Alzheimer's doesn't have a cure, so why know about it?
- If you are predisposed to Alzheimer's you may end up obsessing about it.

The only "pro" she lists is prevention. As researchers have pointed out, however, "There is not yet scientific proof that any of their presumed risk factors, in fact, cause Alzheimer's.
Only if they are shown to do so could the new analysis be considered a practical recipe for preventing the disease."
Here are 10 reasons I propose that you might be better-off knowing:
- You can draw up health care documents (if you haven't already done so). These include a living will, which stipulates your wishes for end-of-life care, and a durable power of attorney, in which you state who may make healthcare decisions for you if you're not able.
- You can develop financial directives such as a general power of attorney (to give another person the authority to handle your finances should you become too impaired) and a will.
- You can conduct long-term financial planning, including how to pay for any medical or custodial care you may need, as well as how to finance possible placement in an assisted living or long-term care facility.
- You can do now the things you've always planned to do when you retire. Go ahead and make that trip to Europe or take up a hobby that has always fascinated you.
- You can resign or retire from your job or take an early retirement, if you can afford it.
- You can try to reduce your hours, if you can't leave work entirely.
- You can spend more time enjoying your family and friends.
- If you develop symptoms of Alzheimer's at least you'll know why and not expect so much of yourself. Cut yourself some slack.
- You can tell family and friends so they will understand and possibly avoid becoming frustrated or even angry about any difficult behaviors you may exhibit.
- You can do some serious thinking about your life and decide if there's anything else you want to do now.

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), which can spread easily and cause life-threatening illness and prolonged hospital stays, are arousing considerable concern in the medical community. The "superbug" known as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) may be the most visible and virulent HAI, but it is only one of many types. MRSA is particularly dangerous because it does not respond to most antibiotic therapies, but other HAIs also cause severe illness and even death, although they are more easily treated. Nevertheless, they too are increasingly resistant to at least one or more common antibiotics.
Medical device and pharmaceutical companies are seizing the opportunity to help hospitals with infection control. While interest in infection control isn't new, hospitals are under greater pressure to control HAIs, as bacteria become more resistant to existing therapies and payers tally the mounting costs of treatment for complications that might have been preventable. Infection control products, while often derived from supply categories sold as commodities, can command premium pricing if they are effective and face little competition.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates HAIs affect more than 1.7 million patients a year, causing about 100,000 deaths and generating up to $20 billion or more a year in expenses. In August 2007, Medicare, the federal program that pays for health care for Americans aged 65 or older, announced (in a final rule that has yet to be formally adopted) that as of October 1, 2008, it will not reimburse hospitals for treating preventable medical errors and accidents, including certain HAIs. Medicare cited the following HAIs and said it is considering inclusion of others: catheter-associated urinary tract infections, vascular-catheter associated infections, and mediastinitis after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (inflammation of the mediastinum, which is a group of structures in the chest, including the heart, trachea, and esophagus).
In addition, bills now pending in Congress encourage a coherent national strategy to fight anti-microbial drug resistance. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in July 2007 proposed guidelines for manufacturers of antimicrobial devices, requiring that clinical data has to support any claims that their product reduces or prevents infections.
Manufacturers of medical devices for surgical and intensive-care units are jumping on the bandwagon. A majority of the most serious bacterial outbreaks occurs in these hospital departments. Manufacturers have been coating invasive, basic hospital supplies like feeding tubes and IV systems with anti-microbial compounds. The concept isn't new, but it is being used on more products and with new kinds of compounds.
C.R. Bard, for example, expects infection control to play an important role in driving its device business forward, particularly its thriving urology unit, which comprises about 30% of the company's total revenues. While traditional urological drainage product sales rose 6% in the first nine months of 2007, Bard's anti-microbial-coated Bardex IC line of Foley catheters saw sales climb 11%.
In November 2007, Bard got U.S. regulatory clearance for a silver-coated breathing tube for ventilator patients. The device, which is called the Agento, is the first endotracheal tube with antimicrobial properties and Bard's first respiratory product. According to the CDC, 15% of patients on ventilators develop a lung infection known as ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and, every year, 26,000 die from it. Based on clinical data submitted by Bard, the FDA is allowing the manufacturer to claim that Agento reduces rates of VAP. The company has said that it is likely to coordinate the product's launch with the pending publication of clinical trial results in a major medical journal.
Cardinal Health estimates the infection control market is about $28 billion, and will be bolstered significantly by the new Medicare reimbursement rules. The company is gradually moving into manufacturing medical products, which includes infection control and which has higher margins than its drug and medical supplies distribution businesses. Cardinal already is the leader in U.S. sales of infection prevention products (gowns, exam and surgical gloves, masks, etc.); its supplies are used in 90% of U.S. hospitals and 50% of U.S. surgeries.
In May 2007, the company announced the $3.3 billion purchase of Viasys, a maker of respiratory devices, including several products that combat VAP. The deal closed in June. Cardinal also manufactures new central line kits that are specifically designed to reduce infection rates. The company's newly acquired data mining business, MedMined, specializes in automated electronic surveillance of HAIs in order to identify the location and type of infection. Cardinal says MedMined can help hospitals reduce HAIs by 13% in first year of use and 19% in second year. Cardinal projects the MedMined customer base, now at 250 hospitals, will grow by 40% in fiscal 2008.
Europe also represents an important international opportunity for Cardinal's infection control efforts, because the market there is only 50% converted from reusable supplies to disposables, which are considered important for reducing infection rates.
Other companies increasing their involvement in infection-control include Baxter International, a leading manufacturer of infusion pumps and accessories, and manufacturers of advanced wound-care therapies. These companies also hope to get a boost from the new Medicare rules. Baxter received FDA clearance in November 2007 for the first needle-free IV connector containing a silver anti-microbial coating, which helps to prevent contamination and the growth of pathogens at the point of entry into the patient's blood. Baxter plans to launch this product in the first half of 2008 as the first in a series of medication-delivery devices that aim to reduce the risks of IV-delivered therapy.
Wound-care companies, which have been using anti-infective agents for years, are trying new kinds of compounds. Smith & Nephew makes a wound-care product line coated with antimicrobial silver called Acticoat, which works against many kinds of microbes, including MRSA. While sales to date have been modest, in part because of the products' comparatively high cost, the company recently expanded the product line and is introducing a lower-cost version of Acticoat. In August 2007, it launched a post-operative wound dressing to apply following cardiothoracic, orthopedic, soft tissue, and other surgical procedures. The company sees silver-lined wound care products as a key growth component of its advanced wound management business, which constitutes 25% of total revenues and grew 8% globally in the third quarter of 2007.
Various kinds of silver products are increasingly used as anti-microbial coatings, because they are known to have activity against many kinds of bacteria and, when used in sufficient quantities, they don't induce resistance. Smith & Nephew licenses the silver compounds it uses for Acticoat from Nucryst Pharmaceuticals, which manufactures nanocrystalline silver under the trademark Silcryst. Nucryst has a proprietary technology that easily converts silver into a nanocrystalline structure, which enhances its infection-fighting abilities.
The start-up NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, which raised $20 million in an initial public offering in October 2007, is developing a class of antimicrobial compounds it calls Aganocides, for a wide range of infection-control treatments, including against MRSA. Aganocides destroy bacteria by attacking multiple infections at the site of infection; traditional antibiotics work systemically, that is, throughout the body. NovaBay is in early clinical trials with an Aganocide-based treatment against MRSA colonization in nasal passages prior to surgery and also is studying that drug for prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infections.

Lazio (also known as Latium) is a hilly region with a varied landscape in central Italy.
Bordered by the Apennine Mountains to the east and the Tyrrhenian coast to the west, Lazio is filled with woods and pastures, hills and valleys, rivers and lakes, and as many as twenty-five nature parks and reserves. Much of Lazio's landscape was formed by the eruption of four volcanoes that showered the area with lava. Lakes formed in the craters, and the soil, rendered fertile by the lava, nourished vines, olives, fruit, and nut trees. The volcanic activity also left Lazio with hot springs, notably around Tivoli, Viterbo, and the world-class spa town, Fiuggi.
An interesting and evocative region, you'll discover volcanic lakes and hills, ruins, Rome (Roma), Vatican City, castles, Etruscan towns, tombs, and ruins, and much more. Each corner of Lazio is a milestone of history. Monuments, consular roads, aqueducts, imperial villas on various promontories or half-submerged in the sea are testimony of its past. Thousands of years of civilization make this region an incredible mantle of history.
Lazio is the center of Italy because Roma, the Eternal City, is the capital of Italy attracting visitors from all over the world to see its Roman ruins, Renaissance squares, museums, piazzas, fountains, and baroque churches. At one time, Roma was the capital of the largest empires in the history of the world. It was said that the empire of Roma was so large, that the sun never set on this empire because it stretched from Europe all the way through Persia, Asia, Africa, and beyond!
North of the Roma is the former homeland of the mysterious Etruscans, whose spiritual depth is revealed in their fine and evocative necropolis. Visit the Vulci ruins where you can view the best examples of Etruscan bronzes. You'll want to visit Tarquinia, whose archeological museum is second to none. The entire life span of the Etruscans is represented in the frescoes of the most splendid necropolis this mysterious people ever built. Or, explore their stone tumuli, usually located in idyllic forests or deserted valleys.
The hill towns of Lazio are unique and pretty, even surprising. And close to Roma, visit the Alban Hills, known as the "Castelli Romani", very chic, lush countryside, perfect! Not to miss are the Lakes of Bolsena, Vico, Bracciano, and Albano; or, you may choose to visit one of Italy's most glittering undiscovered gems, Ponza and the Pontine Isles.
Between Ostia and Roma there is the extraordinary Ostia Antica, an entire city preserved as it was in Roman times with streets, palaces, buildings, shops, stadiums, temples, and statues. Toward the south, beside the forest of Castelporziano, you can see the ruins of Laurentum, the first capital of Lazio and kingdom of the mythical King Latino.
There's just so much to see and do in Lazio. Whether you choose to explore the cultural treasures history has to offer, or succumb to relaxation offered by a vast variety of picturesque scenery and historic cities, a visit to Lazio is a must.

Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) was one of the greatest Italian architects of the Renaissance. â€All over the western world hundreds of thousands of houses, churches and public buildings †writes James Ackerman †descend from the designs of Andrea Palladio. He is the most imitated architect in historyâ€. This is particularly true in England (Inigo Jones and Lord Burlington) and in America (Thomas Jefferson). His buildings are concentrated in Vicenza (palaces and public buildings), in the Venetian countryside (villas) and in Venice (ecclesiastical architecture). Some of his famous villas are to be found not far from Venice: Villa Foscari (Malcontenta), Villa Barbaro (Maser) and Villa Emo (Fanzolo), whereas the celebrated Rotonda is near Vicenza. In Venice, Palladio built part of the courtyard of the Carità convent (today Gallerie dellâ€Accademia), the façade of San Francesco della Vigna, the Zittelle church and hospice (the first building ever designed for music), the church and the refectory of San Giorgio Maggiore and finally his last and most imposing church : the Redentore (1576-77) on the Giudecca island. Palladio is an extremely free and supple builder, who always appears clear, light and serene. He often shows great complexity deriving from the Roman classical tradition (the temple), an almost â€baroque†feeling in his buildings (the thermal bath) and the Venetian medieval tradition, with a sensitivity to Byzantine spatial complexity, particularly in his churches. He may therefore appear classical, mannerist, and neoclassical ahead of its time. Moreover he often exploits the natural environment, at the Villa Barbaro or Villa Rotonda for instance. As Nikolaus Pevsner writes â€For the fist time in the Western architecture landscape and building were conceived as belonging to each other, as dependent on each otherâ€.
To celebrate the quincentenary of his birth, the Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio, Vicenza and the Royal Academy of Arts, London, with the Royal Institute of Bristish Architects (RIBA), have organized a major exhibition in Vicenza (20 September 2008 †6 January 2009). It will then move to London (Royal Academy of Arts, 31 January †13 April 2009) and will finish in the United States of America in the autumn, 2009.

Improving volumes of its UK subsidiary JLR and the launch of new models in the coming months are attracting investors back to the counter of the passenger car and truck maker.
Between February and August 2015, Tata Motors lost Rs 1 lakh crore of market capitalisation following weakening sales in China, the erstwhile biggest market for its cars sold under brands Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR). With renewed investors' interest, the company has regained one-third of the lost market cap in a matter of two weeks.
JLR's wholesale volume shot up by 55 per cent and retail volumes grew by 3 per cent year-on-year in September 2015 after a dull patch between April and August. This was despite a 30 per cent drop in Chinese volume. A car delivered to the company's dealer is treated as wholesale, while sale from dealer to a car buyer is denoted as retail sales. In Europe and North America it recorded volume growth of 37 per cent and 59 per cent, respectively thereby offsetting the slump in the Chinese demand.
Another favourable factor is the 'transition effect' or the replacement of old models particularly in Evoque, Discovery Sport and Jaguar XF. Discovery Sport volume grew by 30 per cent in September.
The growth is expected to continue considering new products lined up by JLR for the current and the next fiscal. These new models will be available across various geographies. The company will benefit from a low base effect given low volumes in the past year. Jaguar XE, which is the company's first offering in the high volume market, is currently available in a few countries. Once it is rolled out globally, it will be a key driver for volume growth.
The company is expected to launch Jaguar F Pace (a crossover), Evoque convertible, Discovery replacement, Jaguar XJ replacement and a mid-size Range Rover in the next 18 months. JLR's management has guided for 5 lakh sales volume for the current fiscal, while many analysts have factored in volume estimates of 4.7-4.8 lakh. This provides enough headroom for earnings per share (EPS) upgrades if the company achieves the guidance.
The company's stock will also benefit from increasing interest from passive funds as its weightage in MSCI index is expected to double.
In the past six months, FIIs have reduced their holdings in the stock by 5 percentage points to 21 per cent. This increases headroom for FIIs to increase their stake in the company, and it may also lead to increase in its weight in the MSCI.

When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer, I didn't know what I was going to do. After the devastation subsided, I decided to take a very standard, western approach to my healing. Although initial efforts were successful, my cancer recurred a few months later. I endured many additional months of treatment before I started focusing on myself. I decided it was time to incorporate complimentary alternative treatments into my healing regimen, including massage therapy. I can't even begin to tell you how much it changed my life. My healing became a process, instead of something I simply had to endure. I hope that the articles on my website can inspire you to stay open-minded about your own healthcare.
If you were involved in a car accident, you might have thought about going to the emergency room to have yourself checked out for any potential injuries. However, you probably haven't yet thought about scheduling an appointment with a chiropractor, especially if you don't get chiropractic care on a regular basis.
However, even if you have never sought this type of care before, now is the time to set an appointment. These are a few reasons why it is smart to see a chiropractor after a car accident.
Relieve Soreness
Even if you did not suffer any major injuries during your accident, there is a chance that you are feeling a bit sore from being jostled around. Although you can generally take over-the-counter pain medication to relieve this pain -- as long as it is okay with your doctor -- this might not be enough to make you feel better. Seeing a chiropractor in the days after your car accident can help you get relief for some of this soreness and can help you start to feel normal again.
Handle Injuries Now, Before They Get Too Serious
There is a chance that you could be injured without even knowing it. In fact, the injury might not have even been picked up right away if you went to the emergency room after your accident. There could be damage to your ligaments, muscles, and other parts of your body, which can cause pain now or later on.
If you wait to get care, there is a chance that the problem could get worse. If you see a chiropractor, however, he or she can align your spine and fix any problems before they become serious.
Relieve Stress
Even if you aren't feeling any pain or soreness from your accident, there is a good chance that you are dealing with a lot of stress. Dealing with insurance companies, law enforcement and everything else related to the accident can really change your everyday life and can leave you with a lot on your mind. Many people don't know it, but seeing a chiropractor is a great way to relieve stress and feel your best, both after an accident and any other time.
As you can see, meeting with a chiropractor for an adjustment is a smart idea for just about anyone who has been in an auto accident. Just make sure that you tell your chiropractor about the details of your accident and how you are feeling so that you can get proper treatment for your situation.

Nostalgiaville Moves the 1950s Into the 21st Century
KINGDOM CITY - A popular tourist store off of Interstate 70 will close its doors in December to focus solely on its online store. Owners Ron and Judi Dunwoody opened NostalgiaVille USA in January 1996 and have watched tourists come in and out the front door for the last 18 years.
Click here to see photo gallery.
The roadside memorabilia store has brought in many people from across the nation and around the world.
Ron Dunwoody said the hardest part about switching to the online store will be missing the interaction with the public.
"When people come in here, especially when they're a little bit older, they want to tell the story of their first date in the '57 Chevy or their dad owned a '57 Chevy that they borrowed for that first date. We're just not going to have that interaction with the folks on the Internet."
NostalgiaVille USA will continue to sell off the in-store inventory at 20 percent off until closing time near Christmas. After that date, the business will continue celebrating the memories of the 1950s on the web at nostalgicstuffusa.com.

Oct 30 (Reuters) - A North Dakota woman told a local radio station that on Halloween she will give children she considers obese a sternly-worded letter for their parents along with candy.
The woman, who gave her name only as "Cheryl," said she would still hand out candy but planned to give some trick-or-treaters a sealed envelope with a letter for their parents, she said Tuesday in a call to a radio station in Fargo.
"I am not denying any of the kids candy," she said. "I am just hoping the parents are going to read this and think about it while they watch their kids get into bigger and bigger sizes of clothes," according to a recording of the radio show.
"As far as we know Cheryl is a local Fargo woman that thinks it is her mission to watch out for the overweight children of Fargo," radio host Corey Schaffer said Wednesday.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has said the percentage of children and adolescents aged 2-19 years in the United States who were obese in 2010 was 17 percent.
Schaffer, who goes by Zero as a host of the Y94 show, said the woman exchanged emails with the station for a couple of days and was scheduled in advance to call in Tuesday.
Schaffer said Cheryl's Halloween plan has sparked some "nasty, nasty responses."
Among the responses was "Ready, Eggs, FIRE." Others suggested she pass out healthier treats or not answer her door.
Cheryl's letter reads in part, "Your child is, in my opinion, moderately obese and should not be consuming sugar and treats to the extent of some children this Halloween season.
"My hope is that you will step up as a parent and ration candy this Halloween and not allow your child to continue these unhealthy eating habits."
Halloween has been a season of radio pranks since Orson Welles radio broadcast adaptation of "War of the Worlds" sparked fears of an East Coast alien invasion 75 years ago, but Schaffer said the station was not perpetrating a hoax and he did not believe Cheryl was either.
In the radio appearance, the woman said, "I just think that parents should take more responsibility for their kids becoming little fat kids."
Cheryl added, "I don't want to be the mean lady. I don't want to be the lady that everybody avoids." (Reporting by David Bailey; Editing by Greg McCune and Kenneth Barry)

Yarn Along

Isn't Taproot amazing! I think I've poured over this one longer than I've read any magazine ever. It's just beautiful! Your vest is looking good. We've had some more March like weather as well.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes!! I love it, the pictures, the contributions, the quotes, all of it is just wonderful.Delete
thats the second reference to Taproot today! Must check it out.ReplyDelete
Hurray for starting the front! I think I'm crazy because I'm knitting with alpaca! It feels too warm to be knitting it.ReplyDeleteReplies
It feels to warm to be knitting at all :) But I do love it.Delete
This is the second time today I have heard of taproot. Definitely going to have to check it out! I love the colours of your vest.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Claire, and yes, you should check it out, wonderful magazine.Delete
I'm waiting anxiously for my Taproot to get here! I love the color of that yarn. I can't wait to see how your vest turns out :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I was like that last week and then it showed up, I am sure it will be in your hands very soon. Thanks, I hope it looks good when it is done.Delete
Taproot arrived here too over a week ago, but I've been so busy that I've haven't been able to sit down to read it yet. Good for you about the vest. Last week, we reached into the 80s (crazy!) but the weather settled down just a tad into its regular (whatever that is) routine for March. I'm hoping not to see those 80 temps for another few months, but who knows. I say, keep going with the vest - you'll always use it next winter...ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree Ellen, I will keep working on it. I am sure I will wear it before next winter, summer nights can sometimes get cool around here.Delete
Hooray for casting off! I think where you live that a vest in March would be a good idea. Glad to hear you are enjoying Taproot!ReplyDelete
Happy Yarn along day.
the good news is that if the weather doesn't cooperate, you can put the vest aside until next year and have something to look forward to!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, exactly what I plan to do :)Delete
I read Taproot last week...sort of like leafing through some of the blogs I like.ReplyDelete
I've never been big on vests, but my little girl, who never seems to want to wear a cardigan, is very partial to them, and so I seem to be looking at many vest patterns suddenly!Replies
So true! Good luck wiht the best patterns, there are a lot out there.Delete
Such a fun project. Can't wait to see it finished.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Gretchen, me too :)Delete
yay for casting off, i hope you'll share the finished vest! i was feeling the same way when i picked up the shalom cardigan again, in a super warm and fuzzy yarn. but then i figured i'll probably end up falling into a snail's pace with knitting when the warm weather arrives, and it will be a beautiful sweater to finish for the fall :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Of course I will share it, that wouldn't be very nice of me not to :)Delete
Congrats on casting off the vest! I can't wait to see the finished product. :)I'm very intrigued by your book...ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, hopefully will finish it up in a week or two.Delete
I am really enjoying the book, I will post a bit more about it next week.

Tin Oo, 88, co-founder of the National League for Democracy (NLD), spent almost seven years in prison and under house arrest under the military junta that ran the country before 2011, when military rule was replaced by a quasi-civilian government. In an interview with reporter Nay Rein Kyaw of RFA's Myanmar Service, the retired general, former commander in chief of Myanmar's armed forces and trusted patron of NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi discusses the NLD's effort to form a government after their landslide victory in Nov. 8 general elections.
RFA: What is your opinion of Aung San Suu Kyi's meeting with the president and military chief?
Tin Oo: It is something we have to welcome. It is good that they said they will transfer the nation's power peacefully and will collaborate with her in the future, but we have to wait and see whether they work as they said or not. We haven't heard anything about power transferring yet.
RFA: People have two concerns: 1. They didn't discuss how to solve problems in the country. 2. They didn't state a time frame for the power transfer. What do you think of these issues?
Tin Oo: Yes, we have the same concern. They only said they agreed to collaborate and they are pleased for the meeting. That's why I told you we have to wait and see. If they could discuss how to work together on solving the country's problems, people will be very delighted.
RFA: What is your understanding for time frame of the power transfer process according to constitution?
Tin Oo: They have said they will transfer it within 90 days. It would be good to transfer the power as soon as possible. People voted willingly and they want to see the implementation of the election result that their votes produced. Actually, parliament shouldn't be halted in the time between the two (outgoing and incoming) governments.
RFA: Do you think the NLD is ready to form a government?
Tin Oo: Aung San Suu Kyi and her group have plans, but they haven't spoken out about it yet.
RFA: How will the NLD choose a vice-president and president?
Tin Oo: They will be chosen by the party central executive committee.
RFA: Will there be current ministers in the new NLD government?
Tin Oo: I heard that there will be ethnic leaders as ministers and some suitable current ministers will be chosen. According to the process of national reconciliation, people from different organizations might be chosen as ministers as well, but no detail is announced yet.

Match ends, Blackpool 2, Ipswich Town 3.
Blackpool 2-3 Ipswich Town
- From the section Championship
Daryl Murphy scored deep in injury time as Ipswich secured a dramatic victory at high-flying Blackpool.
Stephen Dobbie put Blackpool ahead with a first-half header, before Frank Nouble drove in the equaliser and Paul Taylor curled in to put Town 2-1 ahead.
Steve Davies thought he had salvaged a point with a strike that found the top corner in stoppage time.
But there was still time for Murphy to head in the winner from Taylor's cross to give Ipswich victory.
Both sides were sluggish in their early efforts to gain a foothold in the game and it took 20 minutes before the first opportunity of note.
A period of pressure from Ipswich saw the ball fall to Ryan Tunnicliffe in a central position, eight yards from goal, but his effort deflected narrowly wide of the left-hand post.
That chance sparked some life into proceedings and three minutes later the deadlock was broken, with Blackpool taking the lead with their first meaningful opening.
A curling left-wing cross from Bobby Grant found Dobbie free inside the box and he steered a fine header past Dean Gerken and into the bottom left-hand corner.
And it could have been 2-0 to the Seasiders before the break as a long ball forward was flicked on by Ricardo Fuller into Grant's path but his stinging volley was brilliantly palmed away by Gerken.
Ipswich made two changes at half-time, with Taylor and Nouble replacing Luke Hyam and Jay Tabb, as manager Mick McCarthy adopted a more offensive approach in the second period.
The substitutions appeared to have an effect, with the visitors pressing forward in greater numbers and Blackpool happy to operate on the counter-attack.
On 61 minutes a right-wing cross from Carlos Edwards found Murphy free to the left-hand side of the box but the Irishman sliced his first time effort wide on his weaker left foot, in what was a big let off for the home side.
But Ipswich's bold approach paid dividends and with their next foray forward they were rewarded with a goal their efforts deserved.
David McGoldrick burst past Angel Martinez in midfield and his through ball found Nouble just inside the box and he duly bustled his way past Bradley Orr before finishing inside Matt Gilks's left-hand post.
The Seasiders looked lethargic and bereft of ideas, with Davies replacing Fuller as the hosts looked to stop the visitors.
But Taylor found himself in space inside the box on 84 minutes and he curled a delightful low strike into the bottom left-hand corner to make it 2-1 to the away side.
Davies thought he had rescued a point for the hosts late on but Murphy had other ideas.
Blackpool assistant boss Alex Rae said:
"It's very disappointing. We pride ourselves on our defence and to lose the game from bad defending is disappointing.
"We've scored a lot of goals in the last 10 minutes of games and I thought we'd snatched a point.
"We told them Murphy was a threat from set-pieces - he scored from one against Barnsley last week - but we didn't deal with him at all."
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy said:
"It's a reverse of what's happened to us in a couple of games. We had a pretty awful first half. I worked in training on what ifs.
"We had three up front and one behind and three or four different shapes.
"I did it for that reason. Very often we played 4-4-2 and you have to change the shape. It's paid dividends thankfully."

My wife Michelle and myself have been doing a lot of work over the last few weeks sourcing new products for our Club Shop and getting them in stock in time for people to be able to buy in time for Christmas. Michelle will take a leading role managing the stock and ensuring online orders are sent out etc. and she will be opening the shop up on Thursday at Heritage Park from 4pm to 7pm and we will also have the Club Shop open on Saturday 10th December at our game against West Auckland. If anyone wants to buy products from the shop but doesn't want to attend the game, then you can get admittance to the shop via the side gate (next to the turnstiles) from 4pm and the shop will be open until 6pm. All our products are available to view and order online https://bishopafc.com/shop/ and if any of our products require ordering then orders placed by 6pm on Saturday will be delivered to us by Wednesday 21st December and we will deliver all to all local locations by 24th December.
If you haven't decided on how you are seeing the New Year, why not come down to Heritage Park where from 7pm till late we will have a live band and food for only £20 per person. Contact us on email@example.com or telephone us on 01388 604606 for more information.
Saturday is our last home game of 2016 and we hope as many people as possible can get to the game and support the team. Last Saturday was a disastrous day for us as the team never got going at Marske and we deserved to get beat but let's face it we had a run of five games without defeat before the Marske game and the team are more than capable of another run of victories.
As you will hopefully have seen, we have started filming our home and away games and we would like to put together a team of people who would be prepared to film the games and edit and publish the videos online. If you are interested or know someone who is then please get in touch!
On Monday we had a Board meeting and welcomed Dave Mills to the Club. Dave will be leading our commercial activities and we had a great discussion on our plans for the New Year. Welcome to the Club Dave!

More information on this game will be onsite soon.

For any reason. Even if you expect the user to be non-technical. Let me go into a longer rant, only partially on the topic. I witnessed a smart but non-guru user install a certain brand new Debian-like distribution on her home box today. That person is a physicist doing medical research, with no sysadmin experience but familiar with quite a bunch of Unices. The machine was known to be good except for the disk, which in turn was checked on an identical box before. The trouble she faced consistent of a number of _random_ breakages with totally no usable error messages: * In about 1/3 tries, parted failed with whatever the error message was hidden by the installer's GUI. Tell me, how she was supposed to figure out what's wrong? (Skipping the fact that something as dangerous as parted should never be allowed to break in a common setup [1].) * At some point during the main installation phase (with nothing but a progressbar shown), the installer coughed up and barfed a window full of a Python backtrace right in the user's face, then died. I looked at the dialog, but couldn't figure out what went wrong, either. Perhaps taking a look at the logs (HIDDEN FROM THE USER) would be insightful, but the friend claimed that if the installation is supposed to be graphical, she's not going to let me do everything by hand [2]. Where's the goddamn meaningful error message? * Two times, a dialog simply popped up, saying: "The installer has crashed". Just that. Without a single damn word about the cause, or even just a mention of what it was doing at the time. The friend muttered something about Ubuntu being as flaky as Windows, then rebooted and started the installation anew... * The GUI network setup tools simply ignore any failures. After choosing a SSID from a list (the list shows that the hardware and kernel-side stuff was working ok) then clicking "Activate", the dialog simply shows nothing for ~20sec and then acts as if everything was in working order. What was wrong? Can you tell me from the provided information? Current vanilla text-mode Debian will give you a message after every action. With Ubuntu, you need to dig deeply to force the system to reveal what's going on. Finally, I had to leave; the friend hasn't succeed yet. [1]. A 50GB unformatted primary partition, the rest being on extended: two 50GB unformatted ones, 50+GB ext3 on /home, 1GB swap, 7GB ext3 on /. [2]. Get a reflex of going into mkfs/debootstrap mode at the smell of the first installer trouble and people will start spreading evil rumors about you :p --End of rant-- Now, let's go into your question: > Starting RAID devices ... > /dev/md0 has been started with 3 drives. > /dev/md1 has been started with 3 drives. > /dev/md2 assembled from 2 drives - need all 3 to start it > /dev/md3 assembled from 1 drive - not enough to start the array. > /dev/md4 has been started with 3 drives. > ... done assembling RAID devices: failed. An user who has just the basic idea what RAID is will know what's going on instantly. When they'll call you, you will be able to help them right away. > Starting RAID devices ... failed (see log for details). Now, you'll have to explain to the user how to get to the log. And what if the system is inoperative (with failed RAID, it almost certainly will be)? You can't be too verbose, but if you hide the most important parts, it will be a great disservice to the users. -- 1KB // Microsoft corollary to Hanlon's razor: // Never attribute to stupidity what can be // adequately explained by malice.

SAN DIEGO -- More than 900 runners and volunteers converged on San Diego State University (SDSU) July 29, for the inaugural Joggin' for Frogmen 5k run, a memorial event honoring 31 American warriors who gave their lives in a helicopter crash Aug. 6, 2011 in Afghanistan.
Twenty-two men associated with Naval Special Warfare (NSW) forces, including 17 SEALs, were among those killed. NSW men were part of a joint and combined team of U.S. Army aircrew, U.S. Air Force para-rescue and combat controllers and an Afghan security element.
The event kicked off at 7 a.m., just over a week shy of the one year anniversary of the highest number of U.S. forces killed during a single event in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Guest speakers included Army Ranger Sean Parnell, John Kelsall, father of fallen SEAL Jonas T. Kelsall and ultra marathon runner Mike Rouse who all offered memories and motivation.
Rouse ran for 24 hours non-stop prior to the start of event in honor of his close friend, Jonas.
"Those men made the ultimate sacrifice so we could enjoy ourselves today," said Rouse. "We didn't do this for ourselves or for our own profit, but to those who we want to thank and support."
The main sponsors for the event were the Veterans United Foundation, Navy SEAL Foundation, Special Operations Warrior Foundation, USO and Navy Federal Credit Union.
"We raised a lot of money for our foundations and that was our main goal," said Trisha Snelgrove, Joggin' for Frogmen creator and race director. "This year we ran in honor of the 31 heroes and next year we'll run for another group of warriors."
Some participants, like Hospital Corspman 2nd Class (FMF) Eugene Lewis, ran to honor fallen best friends. His best friend from high school, Special Warfare Operator 3rd Class Denis Miranda, was one of nine military personnel killed when his helicopter crashed in Zabul Province in Southern Afghanistan Sept. 21, 2010.
"Denis and I grew up together. I buried my best friend and now I plan on honoring his memory with running races and gaining support for his family and the other fallen heroes," said Lewis. "We're going to continue to build his legacy with word of mouth and our organization 'Team Denis Miranda.'"
Volunteers gave their support by cheering on the runners and directing them through the course around SDSU. The U.S. Navy Parachute Demonstration Team, the Leap Frogs, performed an aerial demonstration to conclude the event.

Implementing Wellness into Mental Health and Addiction Recovery: The Addressing Wellness Through Organizational Change (AWTOC) Approach [English and Spanish versions]
Document Type
Psychiatry Issue Brief
Publication Date
A Spanish translation of this publication is available to download under "Additional Files" below.
There are many opportunities for clinicians and leaders in mental health and addiction treatment programs to champion more discussion about wellness and integrate evidence-based treatments that can decrease patient morbidity and mortality. However, many clinicians and staff may not feel trained and prepared to help individuals adequately address wellness goals, to integrate wellness into their routine clinical practice, or to make appropriate referrals to community resources. To address this service and training gap, the UMass Department of Psychiatry developed the Addressing Wellness Through Organization Change (AWTOC) approach, based upon the Addressing Problems Through Organizational Change (APTOC) model developed by Douglas Ziedonis, M.D., M.P.H. which has been used previously to address tobacco cessation (Ziedonis et al., 2007).

LAKEWOOD, Colo. – No. 23 BYU-Hawaii men's tennis dominated Colorado Christian University 9-0 on Monday at Meadow Creek Tennis Club.
"Colorado Christian put up a great fight," BYU-Hawaii head coach Dave Porter said. " [The Cougars] had wonderful sportsmanship. There was great camaraderie between the teams as players prayed together following the matches."
After traveling through the night, the Seasiders (7-3) started a little slowly in doubles as they made the adjustment from sea level to high altitude. Peng Dai and Wei-Feng Lee paired for an 8-2 victory in No. 2 doubles, while Colton Pate and Ibrahim Karmadzha added an 8-2 victory of their own in No. 3 doubles. Guillermo Ucelay Pueyo and Simon Guillin finished the doubles sweep with an 8-4 victory over the Cougars' (7-5) Ryder Serle and Chase Gebhart.
Guillin started the singles victories for BYU-Hawaii with a 6-0, 6-0 sweep of Caleb Rold. Lee followed with 6-1, 6-1 win on No. 4 singles and Dai added a 6-0, 6-1 victory moments later on the sixth singles court.
The top three players each had closer matches. Karmadzha took a 6-4, 6-3 match with Serle, while Volodymyr Kashytski added a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Gebhart. Ucelay completed the sweep with a 6-1, 6-3 victory in No. 3 singles over Nic Moime of Colorado Christian.
The Seasiders play tomorrow at 2 p.m. MDT against Colorado State Pueblo.

First of all, I would like to apologize for the long hiatus of the site, and it is largely due to the piling assignments and projects I had to accomplish for the summer term. I do hope you would be able to understand, grades don't just earn by themselves you know.
Speaking of grades, our professor has an assignment for us this weekend: to go to the mall. Yes, MALL. Her's the catch. We had to rent a wheelchair, and ride on it for an hour, and note the reactions we get from the people. We should play the part of a person with a physical disability. How would shopping feel for us? How would going to the bathroom be so difficult? These are what she wants us to ponder upon.
I have to admit, I am very excited about this activity. Last semester, I did not have a chance to act out like a child with autism for an extra credit assignment, but now, we are actually required to do so. I am looking forward to the results of this little experiment, though I do not think there would be much a notable reaction because I think, people have already gotten use to seeing people in wheelchairs. Maybe it is how they would interact with them that I will take note of. Anyway, I would post my observations and reactions soon.

Congratulations to Casey & Josh! Casey is in the military and after being stationed in Alaska and away for almost 7 years, it was not a surprise that over 350 friends and family members joined this amazing couple on their wedding day to celebrate. And even though I'm an Auburn fan, I loved that Casey rocked her Ole Miss cowboy boots. AND they included their adorable fur-baby in their wedding portraits! YES! Such a great day and a gorgeous country chic wedding!
Lovely ceremony and reception at Bretz Wildlife Lodge & Winery in Carlyle, IL.
Carlyle Lake made for a great setting for wedding portraits!

Welcome to day 2 of the 7-day journaling series. Today, I'm asking you to consider your sacral energy: where your vitality comes from … Write on each prompt for as long as it feels comfortable, and then move on to the next one. If there are prompts that don't feel pleasing to you, feel free to skip them; but I would recommend returning to them at a later date because it is likely that those prompts that are most unappealing are the ones that you need to interact with the most.
* Who are you friends with? How connected are you to them? What emotions are attached to these people?
* Describe your first memory of having fun. Describe the sights, sounds, and smells. Describe the feelings that you have attached to that memory.
* What emotions does the word "indulgence" invoke for you? Is this a positive or negative word? Are you aware of why you feel that way? In what ways do you indulge?
* What have you sacrificed for someone else's happiness? What were your reasons for doing that? Describe how that made you feel at the time… How does it make you feel now? Was it worth it? Would you do it again?
* When you were growing up, did your family encourage you to have fun and "be a kid," or were you encouraged to be serious and responsible? How does that influence your life now?
* What do you do for fun now? How do you feel when you are doing those things? Or, do you feel like your life is lacking fun?
* What excites you?
* How would dancing naked in front of a mirror (alone) make you feel? Have you ever done this? What, if anything, made this feel uncomfortable?
* Finish this sentence. I am beautiful when… (List as many things as you can think of).
* If you were to make changes in your life that would leave you feeling more beautiful, what would those changes be? How easy/difficult would those changes be? What barriers do you have that prevent you from making those changes?
I will be sharing some of my own Sacral Journaling excerpts here over the next few days. Please share some of your writing too! Also, I would love to hear of any realizations or epiphanies that come as you're writing.

Sony was not the first…But STARS will be the last!
With the New Year and events in the news, all business leaders should be most concerned about cyber-security. With State-sponsored terror attacks new on the horizon, imagine our surprise to find that Sony was not the first. An article in December 15th's Businessweek magazine titled, "Now at the Sands Casino: An Iranian Hacker in Every Server". Shockingly, a little publicized precursor to the Sony attack occurred on Feb 10th, 2014 at the Sands Corporation. Read all about it at http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-12-11/iranian-hackers-hit-sheldon-adelsons-sands-casino-in-las-vegas
The minute the hack attack started, the Sands IT department drastically severed all ties to the Internet and turned off all computers using Windows Active Directory. Luckily, " Sands was able to keep many core operations, the hackers weren't able to access an IBM mainframe that's key to running certain parts of the business. Hotel guests could still swipe keycards to get into their rooms. Elevators ran. Gamblers could still drop coins into slot machines or place bets at blackjack tables." (Businessweek magazine, December 15, Page 64)
The common denominator in the Sony and Sands attacks is the Windows server platform. When looking for a school management system that you know will be secure, STARS stands alone. STARS is the only enterprise grade solution built on the IBMi platform on the market. All our competitors use the same Windows server platform that is consistently compromised. All STARS clients should sleep soundly knowing that their core business operations and data are safe…even from hackers.

By Dan Webb, Dec. 2017
Southern Utah has this ability to make you feel like you are alone in the universe. As I slid my way through the slot canyon it seemed like I was the first to explore this alien world. Logically I knew that thousands of people have hiked this canyon before me. But the beauty of the red rocks is that for just a moment I felt alone.
Every so often I get the urge to leave the city. It itches and crawls its way into my head until I find myself driving south to escape. Ever since Afghanistan I have never fully felt comfortable or safe in the city. The wide open terrain of southern Utah is my antidote.
Recently, the San Rafael Wilderness area has been my go-to destination. Having hiked Goblin Valley just a few months ago, I decided to find a slot canyon this time. An internet search of slot canyons in the area showed Little Wild Horse and Bell's Canyon as an easy place to run away to.
Your phones GPS will take you to within a few meters of the parking lot for Little Wild Horse. Any car or truck can make this journey, the roads are well-maintained. From that parking lot it's about a 10 minute hike to the mouth of the slot canyon. You will approach a trail head marker telling you that if you turn left you will enter Bell's Canyon, and turning right will place you in Little Wild Horse. It seems the popular route is to start with LWH canyon and loop through Bell's. You will need about 2-3 hours for LWH if you turn around at the top, and around 4-5 to make the whole loop into Bell's. The entire hike is moderately difficult, but with a little water and good shoes, almost everyone would be able to complete the trek.
It is impossible to keep a comfortable temperature in the slot canyon. The sun and exercise warm you up, then you enter a sunless corridor and the temperature drops. I finally stopped removing my outer jacket and then putting it back on every 5 minutes, and just resigned myself that I would be toasty during the hike. This is southern Utah in the winter. The temperature during the day was brisk and quite enjoyable to exercise in. The temperature at night made me realize I'm not as tough as I thought I was. If you want to learn from my mistakes then get a hotel room; Hanksville and Green River are both close enough to drive to after a long day of hiking.
You have to move slowly through a slot canyon. If you auto-pilot your way through, you miss one gorgeous rock formation after another. If you are looking at your feet you will run into a wall. If you are looking up at the walls you will trip on a rock. And if you are looking at your camera, like I was, you will run headfirst into a boulder. In LWH canyon there are some tight squeezes, but it never gets too narrow that you have to worry about making it through.
Take the three and a half hour drive from Salt Lake. Sweat out the contamination of the city. Run your hands across the smooth red rock as you hike. Look at the tell-tale signs of natures awesome power as you come across huge boulders that were left behind during massive floods. It takes just a few moments of isolation in the desert and I feel heavy weights being lifted off my shoulders.
