The Etymotic Custom fit headphones are an interesting premise. Buy a pair of standard Etymotic hf2 headphones, then go through a fitting process to make them unique to you. But is the end result worth the hassle?
To be honest you might as well stop reading now, we've got your verdict: they are one of the best sets of headphones we've tested here at Pocket-lint. Why? Well because not only are the very comfortable, but they also sound amazing. Better still because they fit your ear perfectly you don't have to have them that loud.
So now we've got our opinion out on the table, let's tell you about the process of getting them fitted and more importantly why we like them so much.
Users buying the headphones, which cost £99.99, will then be able to go to one of 300 approved ear impression outlets to get their custom moulding for a further £90. So on the table, yes, this is an expensive set of headphones.
The fitting is an interesting experience. You turn up, a man rams (read gently nudges in) a small cotton bud down your ear canal before filling it with blue goo. It's completely painless and fairly comfortable, although you do feel like you are underwater.
You then sit there for around 5 minutes allowing the impression to set before they yank it out of your ear (read politely remove), bag it and tag it. A couple of weeks later you get a pair of sleeves that are unique to you as they are an exact mould of your inner ear canal.
Why all the effort? The idea is that the earphone then fits you perfectly as its designed to fit your ear canal.
Once you get your sleeves back (the service takes around 2 weeks) then all you have to do is fit them to the company's hf2 headphones and away you go.
"Most Etymotic customers can achieve a comfortable fit with the array of ear tips we include with our products, but the hf2 custom fit delivers the same level of comfort that performing musicians require during live performances", the makers claim.
Getting them in your ear the first time can be a frustrating experience as it involves a bit of wiggling and making sure you've got the right earphone for the right ear is important - it doesn't fit otherwise.
Still after a couple of goes we soon got the hang of it, for us it's a case of going in at a 90 degree angle and twisting as we push the earphones into our ears (it's really not as scary as it sounds), you'll then hear/feel a pop and that's it your done. You are wearing a pair of headphones that no one else can wear.
The results of the hf2 speak for themselves, but the main benefit we've found is that because it's a perfect fit there is very little noise coming in from the outside world; noise isolation is excellent. This means you don't need to have the music up very loud and if you don't need to have it so loud it won't damage your ears.
Listening to the system on a number of devices from an iPod touch to a Denon Amp the results were impressive. We found the volume element cames to light very clearly when listening on a Mac. Of the 16 volume bars you get, we could comfortably listen to it with only one volume bar selected on an overland train, as a comparison a standard pair of Apple headphones requires it to be at 12 bars or over. The iPod touch required the level to be no higher than a quarter of a way across the volume slider.
But it's not just the sound levels, the headphones themselves are very good, lacking slightly in a rich bass that we prefer, they are by no means poor in performance and the sound barrier is more than enough to make up for it.
For those making phone calls via the iPhone, the hf2 also features an in-line microphone so you can use the headphones as a headset and this is good enough to make calls. In our tests the mic quality was akin to using the handset, although of course you have to factor into the account that these are wired not wireless headphones. You do get a clip to attach it to your shirt or jacket however.
As we said at the beginning these headphones are amazing, amazing in that they are comfortable; there is little or not movement making them ideal for runners, and that they sound great.
The fitting process is painless and the end result is that you get a pair of headphones that fit you and only you alone.
Our only complaint of the hf2's is that they could have been a bit bassier, but regardless of that, they still come highly recommended.
Top marks.

text: Thursday, April 11, 2013 FY 2014 Budget Recommends Removing Therapy From In-office Ancillary Services APTA is highly encouraged by the proposal within President Obama's fiscal year 2014 budget, released yesterday, to exclude therapy services, including physical therapy, along with radiation therapy and advanced imaging from the in-office ancillary services (IOAS) exception of the Stark self-referral laws. The Office of Management and Budget concluded that closing the loophole for these services would provide a savings of $6.1 billion over the standard 10-year budget window, providing further evidence that these self-referral arrangements lead to overutilization of Medicare services and should be addressed by Congress. On its own for many years and more recently as part of the Alliance for Integrity in Medicare (AIM) coalition of medical specialty, laboratory, radiation oncology, and medical imaging groups, APTA has long advocated for exclusion of physical therapy from the IOAS exception. APTA agrees with the Administration's proposal on physician self-referral and believes this issue should be addressed as part of any fundamental delivery system reform. APTA and its AIM partners continue to be gravely concerned about the ongoing misapplication of the IOAS exception to the physician self-referral law, believing this loophole results in increased spending, unnecessary use of medical services, and potentially compromised patient choice and care. Studies published by the New England Journal of Medicine, Health Affairs, and the Government Accountability Office, among others, have highlighted abuses that result from physician self referral. These ongoing issues serve only to erode the integrity of the Medicare program and undermine patient care. APTA and AIM now strongly urge the 113th Congress to follow the recommendations of the Administration budget and pass legislation to remove physical therapy, advanced diagnostic imaging, anatomic pathology, and radiation therapy from the IOAS exception. Comments Great effort on behalf of all of our members. THis continued to reflect poorly on PT care, so it is a move in the right direction. Posted by Kay Scanlon on 4/12/2013 2:40 PM "I am very concerned about the tremendous need for professional care that is going unrecognized. Physical therapy is and always has been critical to the success and the health of American citizens and our profession continues to impact and provide assistance to a variety of medical professionals all over the world. Countless generations have been provided high quality service and utmost care. Our profession has made leaps and bounds with or without the advancement of technology and will continue to invest in the lives of those we care for each day. Respectfully submitted, Heidi Harris P.T Posted by Heidi Harris on 4/12/2013 3:18 PM This is excellent news, and long overdue. Posted by LeeAnne Carrothers on 4/12/2013 3:20 PM Applauding for the APTA to continuing to shepherd the proposal to fiscal 2014 budget to close the loophole of "in-office ancillary services" exception of the Stark self-referral laws. Posted by Larry Greenberg, PT, MS, M.Ed. on 4/12/2013 4:26 PM Greatly news.looking forward to the final result Posted by Xiaobo Wang on 4/12/2013 5:20 PM I am very pleased that the APTA has successfully promoted the exclusion of PT from MD offices thus far. I hope the final results in 2014 reflect this exclusion, and doesn't get shot down prematurely. It's an uphill battle here in California with POPs, and a national closure to the loophole of self referral will be long overdue. Posted by Allen Ling, PT, OCS on 4/12/2013 11:08 PM If this goes through, what would happen to all of the physical therapists currently working for physician practices? While there are abuses of these arrangement, as there can be in any industry, having the opportunity to work so closely with physicians in the same practice can be incredibly valuable for the patient. I think instead of trying to restrict physicians from hiring PTs, we should be fighting for the right to own physician practices. Posted by James R. Barsky, PT, MSPT on 4/13/2013 5:49 AM I understand that there are abuses and these of course have to be fixed, but I also very much understand the very important nature of physical therapy. I am a physician who happens to have a physical therapist in my office, and our communication is a very crucial part of the practice. There have been times that I had wanted to send a patient in my office to physical therapy, but by discussing the case with the therapist in my office I have learned when it may have been inappropriate to do so, thus avoiding unnecessary care. Also, by working so closely with the physical therapist in my office I have learned how physical therapy can be extraordinarily helpful to my patients, whereas in the past I may not have even considered it and just done medical management. In general, I have learned a great deal by working with a physical therapist, and the idea that I may lose this saddens me. Those physical therapists outside my practice don't always communicate with me except for my original signature that may be requested for continuation of care. I think in many ways this will separate the communication of 2 important areas of healthcare in the outpatient world. Posted by Sonya Knight on 4/13/2013 6:47 AM I am a PT working in a physician's office and while I understand there are abuses, not everyone is abusing the system. The communication I have with the physician in my office has helped both of us provide better care for our patients. Once I begin my Plan of Treatment with my patients, I have the autonomy to decide what treatment they need and when they are ready to be discharged. THe physician has hired the staff he wants due to our expertise and values our experience. I do not receive any inappropriate referrals from him for PT. Posted by Stephanie Ford, PT on 4/13/2013 8:59 AM The doctor, therapist relationship has always been maintained as long as the M.D. desires it. I don't know any PT that does not drop what they are doing when a physician or their assistants call for info. Contrary to this is the M.D. not responding to the PT phone call when info is needed. This is particularly troubling when the surgeons don't respond when patient safety is the issue. I have worked side by side with the physicians in a military facility and it works great because it was pure relationship that focused on the patient not the financial health of the practice. The Starke self referral law was a good idea and still is. Physicians are rushing to include PT in the practice for all the wrong reasons. Abuses and patterns of abuse are evident. Referrals from the physician with PT owned practices come in with with less visits authorized on diagnoses that you know will require more. It's just a check in the block for the surgeon so they can say that conservative treatment was tried followed by surgery. Then the patient is channeled back to the PTs in there practice. It a manipulation that is well known to all practice administrators. The only way to lower costs is to stop the self referral and return the autonomy back to the Physical Therapists. Posted by Michael Bailey on 4/13/2013 10:03 AM I am greatly concerned that the skills attained by physical therapists (such as evaluation, diagnostics, developing and implementing an appropriate plan of care, and re-examination of outcomes to determine need for alterations in that plan of care) that are currently being instructed as a Doctorate level education are being assimilated with the work of the 2-year technical degrees needed for radiation therapists. We, as physical therapists, should not be upset that some physicians view physical therapists as an integral aspect of patient health. Could it be that medical doctors that do not have this type of connection with physical therapists under-utilize us as a profession? Anytime a physician refers a patient to physical therapy it is that physical therapists responsibility to determine if therapy is appropriate or not. It is our responsibility to limit this "over-utilization," if it is really occurring. I hope that our energies can be used elsewhere, perhaps to promote the increase of the currently falling reimbursement rates by displaying and respecting the skills of physical therapists. In case anyone is wondering, I do not work for a physician owned clinic. Posted by Elizabeth Bannister, PT, DPT on 4/13/2013 11:48 AM There are abuses out there. The biggest abusers are the large hospital systems. Posted by Physical Therapist, PT on 4/14/2013 12:10 AM Physicians, including orthopedic surgeons who typically employ physical therapists, are selling their practices to hospitals as they prepare for the future "integrated" health system under PPACA (ObamaCare). Since hospitals are not bound to the same degree by the Stark self-referral laws as physician practices I wonder if removing the IOAS exception will really have the anticipated impact on medical spending? The hospitals, further, will show tremendous interest in capturing ALL physician referrals to therapy to better manage costs under arrangements such as Medicare ACOs and Patient Centered Medical Homes. Not sure that changes to Starke at this point will make much difference. Thank you, Tim Richardson, PT Posted by Tim Richardson on 4/14/2013 7:03 PM This is great! I have an orthopedic group with their own PT in the office and they abuse this constantly even so far as to not give the patients a choice as to rehab. These MDs have been reduced to stealing patients by calling them on their cell phone while in my office. These MD are earning big $$ in the OR. They need to stay out off my business just to earn a few more dollars. Now, I send my patients to another orthopedic group. When they take one of my patients, they cost me hundreds of dollars. When I take one of their patients to another Hospital, they loose tens of thousands of dollars. You think they would be smarter than that. I will not sell out and work for a MD. Posted by Mike Stewart on 4/14/2013 9:37 PM I have worked for years in POP facilities. The care model of having the referring physician in the same facility is much preferred by all our patients. Having quick access to the referring physician and not waiting for days to get a call back is priceless to our patients. Any referrals from the in house physicians are treated the same as outside referrals. We as PT's determine the length and plan of the treatment like any other practice. I have been unable to back the APTA for years now as they continued to fight to eliminate my job. I find it unfortunate tha APTA appears to only support the private practice physical therapists and not all physical therapists! Posted by Tom Bledsoe, MPT on 4/15/2013 10:41 PM I am a PT that enjoys having close working relationships with referring physcians. Limitation of physicians from owning a physical therapy practice to prevent self referral and abuse does not exclude developing strong communication with the therapists in which you refer. It also does not limit your ability to have a PT in office. It just does not allow you to profit from their presence. This is a necessary move in the right direction. Posted by Dallas Roberts, PT on 4/16/2013 12:19 PM I like many of you would love to see this come to pass. And those of you who are in POP situations may find that you can now keep that great relationship and be truly autonomous, by starting your own practice, in close relationship to the physician or physician group. However, I think many of you will find that when the financial incentive is not as great neither will be the quantity of referrals. I've been in private practice as well as the director of a hospital outpatient, and believe me you will soon find out, when you start a private practice, which physicians truly think you and your skills are indispensable and which were only feeding the hospital machine. Please who ever is posting as Physical Therapist, PT. Man up and use your real name or keep quiet, freedom of opinion, even if correct, requires having the courage to own it. Posted by Richard Luyster PT on 4/16/2013 5:14 PM I ventured out into private practice one year ago. I constantly talk to my referring physicians so the argument of close communication with referring physicians (POPTS argument) is an illusion in this modern age of the telephone. Over the past year, I have been approached by three surgeons to be their in house therapist. You have to ask yourself the question - why would they want in house therapy(could it be the money?). No, it couldn't be about the money. It's all about the close communication and convenience! If you buy that then I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you. P.S. I'm an Occupational Therapist but I'm in the same boat as the private practice PT's out there trying to make it out here in a POPTS world so I thought I'd give you my 2 cents worth. Posted by James Puett MS, OTR, CHT on 5/29/2013 8:07 AM Its all smokescreen. California Physical Therapy Association has agreed to pass legislation to legalize Employment for POPTs all in name compromise for Direct Access for private practice. This is a terrible compromise which will destroy small private practices. I have an outpatient clinic and I am hopeful my main referral sources continue to refer based on our expertise, great outcomes and costumer service. This is a sad day for private practice physical therapy in California. Despite over 11,000 letters from patients and private practices opposing this bill The CPTA is continuing to promote AB1000. Shame on the CPTA for selling out private practice. Posted by Michael Martines, PT, MPT, OCS on 7/10/2013 1:34 AM The PTs' that work in a POPS have an interesting prospective, worrying about their job security. I wonder if these POPS PTs' were as concerned when an autonomous PT in private practice gets driven out of business and files bankruptcy, all because the MD opens a PT clinic to improve his profit margin. Posted by John Twomey on 9/27/2013 5:28 PM Although there may be some fraud and abuse the real issue should be about quality of care and outcomes. I do not see how removing Stark exclusions is going to change that. There are other areas of fraud and abuse much larger than those that may misuse Stark. Each year CMS puts more (some would say burdensome) reporting requirements on providers to show QOC outcomes. Fair enough. The sad part in all of this is that those providers and therapists who provide quality care for and to their patients suffer at the expense of the few who take advantage of the (already flawed) system. Posted by Office Manager on 12/9/2013 8:36 PM This may be off the subject a little, but can anyone tell me where to find the latest on if a physican owned PT clinic can accept outside referrals? I am having trouble finding the latest info. Posted by b boyd on 5/4/2014 9:38 PM

Great doc; great pix
When I lived in Charlottesville I always enjoyed Dr. John Hong's morning appearances on Channel 29. Now that I don't get local stations anymore (thanks, DirecTV), I'm thrilled that he has a column in the Hook ["Dr. Hook"].
I just wanted to say how much I like his candor in discussing anything; it's refreshing and needed in this mealy-mouthed PC age. He puts a humorous spin on serious subjects, and slips some education in there while we're not looking.
P.S. Loved-loved-loved the two hilarious photos of Paul Curreri and Devon Sproule [June 9: "Loud & Clear: 2005 local music issue"]!

OCEAN CITY — The Liquor
Control Board for Worcester County (LCB) is allegedly under investigation by
the State Comptroller's Office for possible collusion and potential violations
of the Sherman Act.
It was revealed this
week that three local liquor licensees were charged three different prices on
the exact same day for the exact same product by the LCB, which, according to
Purple Moose Saloon Chief Financial Officer and Worcester County License
Beverage Association (WCLBA) Executive Director Charlene Elliott-Carr, is "very
much against the law."
On April 16, 2010, the
LCB allegedly offered a discount promotion on Stoli Orange vodka, which would
make the product, which is listed at $28.99 per bottle (retail), just $5 per
bottle for the licensees.
Elliott-Carr says that
specials like this are not rare. She said they are fine so long as the specials
are offered to all the license holders, which the LCB is required to do under
the terms of Maryland State Law and the Sherman Act.
However, she said that
the promotion wasn't offered to her establishment or fellow WCLBA board member
Gary Figgs, chief financial officer at Seacrets.
"If anyone had the
chance to buy a bottle of liquor at $5 a pop, they would jump at the
opportunity and buy as much as they could, but they didn't offer it to us and
from what I heard they didn't offer it to other people either, and that isn't
the way they are supposed to be doing things," Figgs said.
Harborside co-owner Chris
Wall purchased 240 bottles of Stoli Orange from the LCB at $5 a bottle, while
on the same day Elliott-Carr purchased 120 bottles of Stoli Orange for the
discounted price of $11.99, while Figgs paid $22.99 per bottle at Seacrets on
the same day.
Elliott-Carr explained
that the LCB's price to the licensees can fluctuate dramatically.
"In this instance, 28.99
is the retail price and that is the price they would sell it in their retail
locations, but our price range could be 85% of this price or 23% above beverage
journal prices," Elliott-Carr said. "In this case based on what Gary
[Figgs] paid, the price was 27% below retail. Why I paid $11.99 is beyond
me? I guess this was done to appease me, because there is not any rhyme or
reason to the discount."
Reports surfaced this
week that the comptroller's office was conducting an investigation of the LCB,
as field officer Anthony Hatcher has been reportedly seen at local
establishments going over invoices and other related records.
"Yes, he's been here,
but I don't know the full capacity of what they are investigating at this time,
but there is something going on," Figgs said.
The comptroller's office
declined to comment on the status of the investigation, but a spokesperson made
it clear that, "it is our policy to not make any sort of public comment
concerning the nature of any investigation whether ongoing or not."
As disdain continues to
grow toward some of the practices of the LCB, licensees are worried that the
prices could simply skyrocket at the busiest point in the season.
"They just bumped up the
mark-up price 5% going into the summer," said WCLBA President and Buxy's Salty
Dog owner Doug Buxbaum. "There are people who are concerned that the price
could go up another 5% tomorrow. If you are a monopoly, which they are, you
have to offer the same price to everyone. And the fact of the matter is that
they don't answer to anyone, and they are only supposed to be in business to
disperse the alcohol. If you have a monopoly and your eight stores are failing,
what does that say about your business?"
Elliott-Carr says that
in some cases the LCB has tried to encourage licensees to buy more of certain
products, which the LCB buys direct from the supplier, rather than from the
"The way it works is
this: the supplier sells it to the wholesaler, who then sells it to the LCB,
who then turns around and sells it to the licensees," said Elliott-Carr. "In
some cases, the LCB has asked the license holders not to buy certain products
so they can go directly through the suppliers and skip the wholesalers
altogether because they make more money that way."
Elliott-Carr says that
the April 16 occurrence is a "clear case of price discrimination" and is a
violation of both Article 2-B and the Sherman Act, which is a federal law
passed in 1890 that protects consumers from the tactics and practices used or
implemented by companies or entities that have a monopoly.
"The LCB has gotten out
of control," said Elliott-Carr. "Some of the numbers just don't make sense and
a lot of people are really starting to believe that this is the time for them
to be abolished. The referendum in 1998 failed, but the money was really good
then coming back to the community. Now the money is basically gone, it's not
viable anymore.
County Commissioner Bud
Church said that in order for the LCB to be abolished, legislation would have
to be passed in Annapolis.
Although some point to
the failed attempt in 1998, others believe that the LCB's local contribution
has become so low (this year reported to be only $110,000 compared to $415,000
last year) that arguments could be made to convince lawmakers that the LCB is
no longer a viable entity in Worcester County.
"It has turned into
something that it was never intended to become,: said Elliott-Carr. "These practices
have to stop because it certainly appears that they keep doing illegal things."

Today's generous estate tax exemption has created an unexpected problem among clients: failure to take advantage of the portability of a first-to-die spouse's unused estate tax exemption. Unknown to many, portability is available only if you ask for it, and failure to elect portability can leave a surviving spouse's estate facing an unexpectedly heavy tax burden, even if no estate tax was due upon the first spouse's death. Luckily, the IRS has provided a limited reprieve for certain clients whose inadvertent failure to make the election could leave them on the hook for an unnecessary estate tax bill. The relief provided by the IRS, however, is limited in both time and scope, so the time to learn the rules of portability is now.
The Rules of Portability
Portability simply allows a surviving spouse to make use of both his federal estate tax exemption and the exemption granted to a first-to-die spouse. Because every decedent is allowed an exemption of $5.34 million in 2014, this allows a married couple to shelter a combined $10.68 million from any federal estate tax liability.
This generous estate tax exemption, however, can often cause a problem for surviving spouses when the entire estate of the first-to-die spouse is sheltered from estate tax. Clients and advisors alike commonly overlook a key requirement for obtaining the benefits of portability: you have to ask for it. Even if no estate tax is due upon the death of a first-to-die spouse, the executor of the estate must elect portability by filing an estate tax return on Form 706 within nine months of death (a six-month extension is available if necessary).
Failure to make the election can eventually cause the estate of the second-to-die spouse to bear the entire tax burden, especially because the surviving spouse often inherits the bulk of a deceased spouse's estate, thereby increasing the value of his own estate. While many clients may believe that the value of their estate could never exceed the $5 million mark, they may be overlooking the fact that the value of the first-to-die spouse's estate will be included in—and potentially taxed with—their own eventual estate.
Revenue Procedure 2014-18
Because failure to elect portability has become common among the estates of decedents who either owe no estate tax upon the death of the first-to-die spouse or expect that a single $5 million (as indexed) exemption will be sufficient to shelter both estates, the IRS has granted an extension of time to allow retroactive portability elections. This extension can be especially useful to same-sex couples that have only recently become eligible to take advantage of spousal portability.
The relief provided by the IRS in Revenue Procedure 2014-18 is limited to situations where the estate of the first-to-die spouse was not required to file an estate tax return for any reason other than to elect spousal portability, meaning that it is limited to situations where the estate of the first-to-die spouse was completely sheltered from estate tax.
To take advantage of the extension, the first death must have occurred between Dec. 31, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2013. Further, the deceased must have been a U.S. citizen or resident who was survived by a spouse. To make the retroactive election, the surviving spouse must file Form 706 with the IRS by Dec. 31, 2014, and state that the filing is being make pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2014-18 in order to elect portability under IRC Section 2010(c)(5)(A).
Without this relief, the only way that a client can retroactively gain the benefits of portability is to request a private letter ruling from the IRS—a procedure that can prove time consuming and costly. Therefore, clients meeting the specific criteria developed by the IRS should be advised to retroactively elect portability before the deadline even if they are uncertain whether their estate will exceed the applicable exemption amount.

Specify Events and Data Columns for a Trace File (SQL Server Profiler)
This topic describes how to specify event classes and data columns for traces by using SQL Server Profiler.
To specify events and data columns for a trace
On the Trace Properties or Trace Template Properties dialog box, click the Events Selection tab.
The Events Selection tab contains a grid control. The grid control is a table that contains each of the traceable event classes. The table contains one row for each event class. The event classes can differ slightly depending on the type and version of server to which you are connected. The event classes are identified in the Eventscolumn of the grid and are grouped by event category. The remaining columns list the data columns that can be returned for each event class.
On the Events Selectiontab, use the grid control to add or remove events and data columns from the trace file.
To remove events from the trace, clear the check box in the Events column for each event class.
To include events in a trace, check the box in the Events column for each event class, or check a data column that corresponds to an event.
If the trace is going be correlated with System Monitor or Performance Monitor data, both Start Time and End Time data columns must be included in the trace.
When you include an event class, every associated data column is also included to the trace, if you have checked the box corresponding to an event. If you checked the box for a particular column, only that column is included in the trace.
To remove data columns from an event class, clear the check boxes from the data column in the event class row, or right-click on the column header and select the Deselect column option.
Optionally, apply filters to the trace. For more information, see Filter Events in a Trace (SQL Server Profiler)

ABOARD MITT ROMNEY'S CAMPAIGN PLANE, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's campaign tried on Tuesday to play down talk that he will receive the kind of significant bump in the polls that candidates traditionally enjoy after their party convention.
"I just think all bets are off about any kind of past performance being a predictor of the future," senior adviser Stuart Stevens told reporters on Romney's campaign plane headed for Tampa, Florida.
He cited the threat to the convention from bad weather, the late date in the campaign season in which conventions are now held and the fact that the Republicans' and Democrats' gatherings are being held back-to-back.
Romney dropped into the Republican event in Tampa to watch his wife Ann make a speech on Tuesday night. He will return on Thursday to make his closely watched acceptance speech and kick off the final stretch of his campaign to defeat President Barack Obama in the Nov. 6 election.
The two men are running very close in opinion polls.
"I think it's extraordinary we're going to the convention tied or with the lead," Stevens said. "I think if the election were held tomorrow, we'd win and win pretty easily."
The Romney campaign is aiming to present a more human side of its candidate in convention speeches t o contrast with the Obama team's negative portrayal of Romney as an out-of-touch rich man.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll on Monday showed that Romney has work to do.
Obama far outstripped Romney on who is more eloquent by 51 percent to 21 percent. Obama also gets higher likability numbers, by 54 percent to 26 percent. But in bad news for Obama, three-quarters of Americans said the economy is on the wrong track.
Stevens said the momentum favors Romney because Obama has focused his efforts on attacking the Republican and not defending his record of the last three-and-a-half years.
"They've talked about everything but that, and that's why all of this effort they've had hasn't worked," Stevens said. "And they spent all this money and they've talked about all this stuff, and it just doesn't matter."
The Democratic convention where Obama will be officially nominated to seek re-election is scheduled for next week in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Editing by Alistair Bell and Jim Loney)

2014 All-Mopar Southern Nationals
This is the Southeast's Must-See Event.
Hot is a relative term, but if you attended Mopar Muscle's All-Mopar Southern Nationals this year (2014), you know what hot is. This Mopar Specific event is held each year during the Memorial day weekend, and features racing, a car show, and a swap meet--We are even planning on more exciting stuff for next year.
The event is held at the South Georgia Motorsports Park, which is just North of Valdosta, Georgia, and is a great venue for an event like this. The racing started Friday afternoon, and lasted well into the night (11:00 p.m. curfew ended the day). The next morning, the pits started to fill with more mopars as guys showed up to win their portion of the race payouts. Just in the Pro class, it took no less than 8 rounds to make the finals.
Some vendors began setting up their swap spots on Friday night, but Saturday and Sunday is when the show and swap meet portion of the event really takes off. The quality and amount of Mopar-specific parts that were available, could easily help any enthusiast finish their project. Did you need an NOS '69 Charger rear quarter panel? There was one there. If you were looking for Max Wedge parts, we saw some. Even A-Body guys and racers were able to find some parts that they needed.
Finally, the car show area was filled with top-notch Mopars. We changed the judging procedure this year, allowing the participants to choose what they felt were the Top 25 Mopars in the show field. Sunday was the day when the Brat Pack Mopar Club of Tampa, Florida, spent the day judging each class of the car show. The guys really had a tough job, as the cars were outstanding
That brings us to next year's show, we want to hear what you have to say, and what you think we can do to make the All-Mopar Southern Nationals and even greater show. If you have a comment or suggestion, please e mail it to email@example.com.

Eastern Towhee
Pipilo erythrophthalmus
About This Animal
SIZE: 7 inches
RANGE: Eastern US
HABITAT: Dense thickets and brambles in clearings and edges of woods
DIET: Seeds, insects and berries
ON EXHIBIT: Cove Forest and Delta Swamp in River Journey
The male has a black head, throat, back and tail set off by a red eye and a dark beak. The flanks are rusty red with a white belly. The female is brown where the male is black and has a brown eye. This bird is mostly a resident in its range and does not migrate very far. It is named for its call, which sounds like "towhee." They are often seen on the ground near backyard feeders scratching for food.
Eastern towhees are protected by the Migratory Bird Act and their populations are stable. The Tennessee Aquarium has a pair in the Delta Swamp and Cove Forest and they have bred in both exhibits.

A 43-year-old Fallbrook man was brought before a judge on November 30 and charged with strangling to death his ex-girlfriend on the eve of her birthday, November 23.
Michael David Robles pleaded not guilty and denied the special allegation of lying-in-wait, which would make him eligible for the death penalty or life in prison without parole.
Prosecutor Kelly Mok told the judge that Robles was seen by a neighbor lurking around his ex-girlfriend's Carlsbad home that evening, and hiding in the bushes there. Although he was confronted by the neighbor and he ran away once, Robles came back and hid again, according to the prosecutor.
Robles slipped inside the home of Kathleen Cary Scharbarth, 34, when she walked her boyfriend out to his car that night, and when the woman came back into her home, that's when he confronted and killed her, the prosecutor said.
Scharbarth's 13-year-old daughter was reportedly asleep upstairs at the time. Michael David Robles buried Scharbarth's body in a shallow grave in Fallbrook, the prosecutor alleges, and then he went to Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's home on November 24.
Robles had allegedly purchased tickets to fly to Mexico on November 25, the day he was arrested.

At least thirteen states use GPS to track accused abusers. The technology is proven, inexpensive and saves lives. It's time for San Diego to track all of the restrained (those with DV restraining orders) as well as sexual predators (everyone on Megan's List) with GPS units.
You could not put a GPS on someone just because they have a RO on them. #1) it would violate due process of law because they have NOT been convicted of a crime.
Although the standard for issueing a RO is SUPPOSED to be high, the fact of the matter is the judges issue them like they are candy and do NOT follow the legal standard requried for issuing them- they are issued many times without meeting any legal standard, and #2) it would be impossible to work because there are 50 RO's given out at 220 W Broadway every single day. They last for up to 3 years. You simply could not track so many of these people.
Good points Surf Pup. I had no idea they issued that many restraining orders. At that pace, there really would be no cost effective way to keep track of the offenders.
This case is just sickening. It sounds like he was enraged after the restraining order being issued and that set him off. I hope the jury keeps in mind his callous behavior of murder and within hours sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner.
There are a lot of RO's given out. IMO RO's mean nothing. They are pieces of paper with no way to enforce them. Sure, if there are blatant violations you could try to get a contempt of court charge, or even misdemeanor charges, but there must be solid evidence for that and to be honest a few days in the can are not deterents to a person bent on murder.
There is really no defense to someone that is willing risk everything to kill with you premeditation. Nothing.
No one can defend themselves against a person bent on killing you with premeditation and udner stealth, a sneak attack-like what happened here.
Best advice is to buy a firearm and learn how to handle it.
The part that kills me is this woman had a daughter who will never see her mother again, will never have that bond for life with her natural parent. Reminds me of the guy that killed 8 people in Seal Beach last month-including his wife-over custody of his 8 year old son. Now the son has no mother - and a father that will be in prison for life if he is not executed.
Sad when the heart drives people to do such unrational injustices.
Cute white chick>>??
I have no idea what you're speaking of, there is no pic of the victim here, how do you know she is whhite????? Or cute????
I don't think he race or gender have as much to do with this act as much as her mentally unstable BF who killed her with premeditation.
So sad that cordedpoodel plays the race issue here. Did race have anything to do with the brutal killing of the young mother on the City College campus a year or so ago? Nope. The accused perp and the vic were both Hispanic. But that one brought plenty of rage against our DA, Bahnee D, for her failure to prosecute the guy for his prior attacks upon his wife/GF (I forget which.)
If there's any lesson to be learned here it is that young women must be careful, very careful, about whom they date. A few dates often lead to cohabitation, pregnancy, single parenthood, and a host of other ills. The case of the City College killing had to do with a young girl taking up with a man twice her age, bearing his child, and losing her life at his hands. Why?
To get a feel for how such a murder affects the family and the community, please download the following . . . and PLEASE write a letter to the Parole Board.
In this case the killer was a law enforcement officer and a CREEP. We need to teach women in particular and everyone in general how to defend themselves. Not much one can do when a cop has the drop on you though . . .

Signs of development can be seen in the urban areas of the country. But in the far rural regions, examples of poverty remain a poignant reminder that there is still a lot of work to be done to ensure children live healthy and fulfilled lives.

Family vacations can be more fun than ever when parents and children plan them out together. (NAPS)
(NAPSI)—Multiple studies confirm that many Americans don't take all their
paid vacation days. One theory is that the pressure people put on themselves
to plan a perfect getaway leads them to plan nothing at all. After all,
dreaming of the perfect family vacation is one thing, actually planning it
The Problem
Factors like where to go, what to do and how much to spend are all reasons
vacation planning is daunting for many families, but a recent study found it
may help to skip the Internet research and call the kids instead.
Your Kids May Have the Answer
The Kidpinions study by FamilyFun magazine and HomeAway, the world's
leading online vacation rental marketplace, surveyed hundreds of parents and
kids. Nine out of 10 parents said their kids play a role in vacation
"People always ask adults their opinion, but what's really cool about
including kids in the research is that we found making memories is just as
important to them as it is to their parents," said Melanie Fish, HomeAway's
family travel expert. "Young people value experiences over 'stuff,' and
families are planning vacations together."
Forty-three percent of kid respondents said they'd prefer to go on
vacation rather than receive a physical gift for their next birthday. The
survey also showed that kids and parents share the same vacation vision. In
fact, both parents and kids have "pool" as the most important amenity when
choosing where to stay, followed by having enough rooms for everyone to claim
their own.
Tips For Your Trip
Elizabeth Shaw, editor in chief of FamilyFun magazine, offered advice on
how to make the planning easier and a vacation more memorable.
1. Let each person in the family
plan a day. Have each family member get a turn or two to choose what to
do. It helps everyone feel like they're part of the process and reinforces
the idea that sometimes things are planned just because it will make someone
else happy.
2. Choose a special place to sleep.
Traditional accommodations have plenty of perks, but seeking out truly unique
places to stay, such as a tree house (they're out there) or even a castle
(it's possible), can be what sets this year's trip apart from all the rest.
The good news? HomeAway.com can help you find both.
3. Write down a daily memory.
Bring along some printer paper and a nice marker. Write the name of the trip
across the top—for example, "Cape Cod 2017"—then take turns each night
writing down one favorite memory from the day. When you're home, scan it and
upload it to a photo service such as Minted.com.
It'll clean up the smudges and send you a frame-worthy digital print.
With more than 2 million vacation homes for rent around the world,
HomeAway is investing in finding out what kids and parents want on vacation
as part of its mission to help families disconnect from everyday life and
spend time reconnecting with each other.

Liposuction (lipoplasty) is a surgical procedure to remove unwanted fat deposits in certain areas of the body, such as the buttocks, thighs, neck, face, cheeks, arms, hips or abdomen.
As part of Cedars-Sinai Medical Group, a trusted name in healthcare, the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Program offers liposuction treatment for patients wanting to reshape one or more parts of their body to a desired shape or size.
Surgical Procedure
The time necessary to perform liposuction surgery depends on the size of the area where the fat is to be extracted, the anesthesia used and the surgeon's technique. Surgeons usually make a tiny incision and insert a suction tube beneath the skin to extract the fatty tissue. Several methods and techniques can be used to achieve this, including:
- The tumescent technique: surgeons inject a medicated solution into the fatty area. This solution of intravenous salt, lidocaine and epinephrine is used to help reduce blood loss and remove fat more easily, and it acts as an anesthetic.
- The super-wet technique: a fluid injection technique requiring less volume of medicated solution, usually equivalent to the amount of fatty deposits to be removed. The super-wet technique often requires general anesthesia.
- Ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty: a tube is used to produce ultrasonic energy. Once this energy passes through the fatty area, a tiny explosion occurs in the walls of the fatty cells to help liquefy the fat.
After Surgery
Following surgery, patients may experience some pain and discomfort around the incision site. Surgeons prescribe medication to ease these complications or use other methods to resolve these issues. To prevent fluid buildup and to control swelling, surgeons insert a small drainage tube beneath the skin for two days.
When patients are able to, they are asked to walk around to prevent blood clots from forming in their legs. Patients are also advised to avoid any strenuous physical activity the first month following surgery or until their body has fully recovered.

Extreme Makeover: Mom Edition
We treated three Family Circle readers to confidence-boosting transformations with fresh haircuts and color — gorgeous makeup too. Then we dressed them in body-flattering clothes. We swear they look 10 pounds thinner. Talk about a happy Mother's Day!
Christine Burda, 42, Date Night Chic
"Over the past few years, I had lost all confidence in myself. Now, with this new look, I feel it's the year for me to make a big change."
About Christine: A single mother of two about to embark on a new career, Christine is stuck in a style rut. She likes her everyday clothing, but wants to kick things up a notch for date nights.
Style Solution: Emerald is the color of the year, and Christine rocks it! The shade flatters her skin tone, and the cut of this bright sheath complements her curves. Add ankle-strap pumps and she's set for an evening out.
Clothing: Dress, Muse Apparel, $136. Shoes, Chinese Laundry, $70. Cuff, Towne & Reese, $35.
Her Beauty Boost: Christine was ready for a dramatic new look. Tricomi shaped her fine locks into a classic bob, which gives her hair fullness. To add movement, he left it slightly longer in the front. Subtle honey highlights soften Christine's dark hue, and peach-colored blush accentuates her chiseled cheeks.
Stephanie Nevin, 39, Casual Yet Sophisticated
"I love our life, all our children and my work, but I have little time for me. Just throwing on comfortable clothes and some moisturizer is all I do lately. I'm ready for something new and different, just as long as it's easy."
About Stephanie: This blogger and mom of five (ages 3 to 20) is on the go 24/7. She usually throws on jeans, a tee and a cardigan, and puts her hair in a ponytail. Stephanie describes her ideal look as casual enough for a school pick-up yet polished enough for an impromptu work meeting.
Style Solution: A blazer is a go-to topper — it makes anything, even jeans and a tee, look pulled together. This structured knit jacket in an eye-catching hue slips on just as comfortably as Stephanie's cardigan, but appears much more refined. We swapped her basic blue jeans for a skinny white pair, highlighting her great shape.
Clothing: Jacket, Mossimo for Target, $30. Shirt, Ann Taylor, $48. Pants, Old Navy, $34.50. Shoes, Ann Taylor, $68. Earrings, Blu Bijoux, $36. Cuff, Kanupriya, $75. Bag, Jessica Simpson Collection, $98.
Her Beauty Boost: Tricomi decided that Stephanie's hair needed just a trim, which gave her versatility as well as the option to pull it back. Warren brightened her color with warm, golden-blond highlights. For a finished (but not overdone) face, Franson applied lightweight foundation, followed by black eyeliner on her top lids and a vibrant lipcolor.
Laura Ciavolino, 42, Polished Edge
"I was in desperate need of a makeover! I was always in a sweatshirt and jeans and didn't even know what size I was. Now I can't believe I feel and look so good in a dress!"
About Laura: Somewhere between raising 8-year-old triplets and working as a nurse practitioner, Laura stopped thinking about her appearance. Still, she's tired of her lackluster basics and wants a new style that reflects her sassy personality.
Style Solution: Laura has killer legs and wanted an edgier look, so we begged her to try on a dress, something she never wears. A wrap style did the trick: It's quick to throw on and is super stylish. The geometric pattern conceals trouble spots while the cinched waist creates an hourglass silhouette.
Clothing: Dress, Ann Taylor, $128. Heels, Franco Sarto, $89. Necklace, Emma Mckinstry, $47.50. Clutch, Olivia + Joy, $78. Bracelet, Coldwater Creek, $40.
Her Beauty Boost: Laura has a hectic schedule and needed an easy-to-maintain hairstyle. Warren warmed her brunette mane and wove chestnut streaks throughout. The color and modern, layered haircut don't require major upkeep or frequent salon visits. Franson also opted to keep the makeup simple. He used a color correction cream to even out her skin tone and conceal dark spots, and a neutral palette of eyeshadows.

It was originally released by Billy Preston (as "All Things (Must) Pass"), on his Apple album Encouraging Words, after the Beatles had rejected the song in 1969 for what would become their Let It Be album. "All Things Must Pass" was influenced by the music of the Band, after Harrison had spent time in Woodstock, New York, in late 1968, following the completion of the Beatles' White Album. Timothy Leary's poem "All Things Pass", a psychedelic adaptation of the Tao Te Ching, provided inspiration for the song's lyrics. Widely regarded as one of Harrison's finest compositions, on release "All Things Must Pass" was viewed as a statement on the break-up of the Beatles, and its rejection by his former band has provoked much comment from biographers and music critics. Author Ian MacDonald described "All Things Must Pass" as "the wisest song never recorded by The Beatles". The subject matter deals with the transient nature of human existence, and the lyrics have been quoted frequently following Harrison's death in November 2001. Jim James, Sloan Wainwright, Yusuf Islam and Paul McCartney are among those who have covered the song. Please note the text from Wikipedia is imported without editing or authentication.

Simpkin, Marshall, and Co., London. 1880. pp 59-60
129. ROAST CHICKEN. - Procure a nice plump chicken, which draw and truss, and cut the sinews; pass the spit through under the skewer as usual, and set it down before a clear fire: after being there five minutes, have ready a pat of butter, in the bowl of a wooden spoon, with which rub the chicken all over; if the fire is too fierce, put it back a short distance, that it may roast of a yellowish-brown colour; when a light smoke arises from the chicken, which will be in about twenty minutes from the time it is put down, it is done; but to be quite sure whether a bird is done, the better way is to press it lightly with your finger and thumb; should it feel quite set, it is sufficiently cooked.
130. BOILED CHICKEN. - Put a quart of water to boil in a saucepan, with a saltspoonful of salt, and two ounces of butter; when boiling lay in the chicken, which keep gently simmering for twenty minutes, when it will be done.
By adding a few vegetables of each description to the water, and straining it when you take out the chicken, you have a very excellent broth either for the sick or healthy, especially if, after skimming off the fat, you add a little vermicelli, which must be boiled in it five minutes.
As it is very improbable that a sick person would eat the whole chicken at once, I have annexed a few receipts, by which a chicken would suffice for four meals.
First, put a tablespoonful of rice in a stewpan, with half a pint of light broth; let it boil gently until the rice is in pulp, then put in the wing or leg of the previously-cooked chicken, which let remain to warm about five minutes; should the rice be too dry, add a little more broth; serve the fowl and rice together upon a hot plate. Secondly, if wanted plain, set it in a stewpan, with a few spoonfuls of stock, and let it warm, gently. Thirdly, it may be folded in a sheet of paper lightly oiled and warmed very gently upon a gridiron; and, Fourthly, plain broiled upon a gridiron, and served with a little light gravy.

Earlier today Stephen Curry executed what can objectively be described as a stunning play during the Golden State Warriors 106-99 defeat of the Los Angeles Clippers. In the fourth quarter, Curry fired a half-court bounce pass that split two defenders and caught Jarrett Jack in stride for a reverse layup that had no other choice but to go in.
Dunks, blocks and buzzer beaters are all breathtaking in their own special ways but we're with you, striped-shirt-blue-jeans-guy. A good bounce pass is a thing of such beauty it makes us want to throb with excitement bordering on violence when we see one, too.
