Using the Neuros Link
After unboxing, hooking up power, Ethernet (or WiFi) and an HDMI cable to connect the LINK to my Phillips 52-inch flat-panel LCD Digital TV, the familiar Ubuntu loading screen appeared, followed by an auto-login under the 'Neuros' user account and auto-launch of the open-source Xbox Media Center (XBMC) and customzied Firefox web browser set with the Neuros.TV site as the browser's default home page. However, before an on-screen interaction can take place, the wireless keyboard needs to be paired with the inserted USB keyboard receiver by pressing the sync buttons on both devices. Once connected, the keyboard has a fairly decent range (I was able to have keypresses detected up to 15 feet away) and because it's RF-based, does not require line-of-sight alignment with a reader (unlike the AppleTV or more television remote controls). Configuring the XBMC settings is easy and straightforward (for more details on XBMC, visit the XBMC website). Once the XBMC is set up, launching view web videos from its selection menu will bring the previously launched Firefox browser to the forefront.
Although the Neuros.TV web site is freely available for anyone to use, the LINK's default web page is app.neuros.tv, an AJAX-driven custom site that aggregates video search results from a number of providers, ranging from YouTube and hulu to commercial purchase sites like Amazon and Netflix. Results can even be collected from news sites like the Chicago Tribune and the New York Times to social media sites like MySpace and Yahoo as well as other video sharing sites like blip.tv. In fact, the site does such a good job aggregating results that it may become a popular bookmarked destination for any Internet-connected media junkie. The only concern I had with the app.neuros.tv site was its user registration requirement. While I'm sure Neuros' intentions are to enhance the user experience via future customization and customized search category optimization, I still felt uncomfortable with having Neuros be aware of knowing my media viewing preferences, especially since their use of this captured search data is not clearly understood. Of course, for the security-savvy user who would still prefer to use the fine Neuros.tv site, simply setting the browser's home page to www.neuros.tv will bypass this registration requirement.
After customizing and tweaking the LINK to the optimal viewing settings, I unleashed the device on my unsuspecting family to see how they preferred it to the AppleTV they had been using for over a year. It was through this test that I collected advantages and limitations of the LINK as well as formulate a number of programs I could write to further elevate the LINK to an enjoyable family media experience.
The most obvious advantage of the LINK above any other TV-connected media device my family and I have used is the wireless keyboard input and the immediate familiarity with the computer interface. We are predominantly a Linux family, so navigating around the XBMC, Firefox and the Neuros Ubuntu desktop were second nature. The Neuros TV service made locating web video content a breeze and we spent hours watching compelling video streams from numerous sources. After watching videos, my kids headed straight for Flash-based gaming sites which displayed fine (with caveats; see limitations below). I was able to easily pull down additional programs and dependencies via the Synaptic package manager to further customize the LINK system.
Perhaps the most annoying limitation of current configuration of the LINK is the CPU and video chipsets being employed. While the decoding works fine for standard definition content, frame drops and tearing occur on full-screen, HD media playback. Additionally, Flash-based content like games and interaction learning simulations slowed to a crawl when displayed in full screen mode. Speaking of full screen mode, the results returned by the Neuros.TV service are simply links to the web pages containing the flash player contents rather than a direct connection to the media itself. This requires users to re-center the page or hunt for the "full-screen" icon on the various players. And because the LINK is Linux-based, content sites that don't support Linux (like ABC.com's proprietary Move Networks media player) cannot be viewed. Finally, using the wireless keyboard trackball resulted in the typical jitter small trackballs generate, making precise coordination of the onscreen cursor an occasionally frustrating experience.
If the LINK had been a closed, proprietary media device, my family and I would simply have to accept these limitations and be reminded of them each time we used the LINK. However, because its open and I'm a developer, I was energized by the possibilities of how to easily circumvent these limitations and improve the interactive experience in exciting new ways.

Weiss encouraged by Tulo's progress
DENVER -- The simple action of running probably doesn't seem like much to most, but in Troy Tulowitzki's case, it's enough to make Rockies manager Walt Weiss feel Tulo may be ahead of schedule with his left hip flexor injury.
"I'm a little encouraged -- cautiously -- but I think it's a good sign to have him running like he is right now," Weiss said.
Tulowitzki hasn't been able to perform even the simplest of baseball activities since suffering the injury on July 19. And considering his history of lower body injuries, Weiss didn't give him much of a shot in returning from the disabled list when he was first eligible, which was Monday.
Yet the sight of Tulowitzki doing some light running pregame gave Weiss enough confidence to say his DL time "maybe won't be as long as I thought it would."
Tulowtizki underwent a dry needling procedure late last month in an effort to increase his blood flow and, in turn, speed up the healing process.
Tulowitzki had been playing at an exceptional level before landing on the DL on July 22. In 91 games before the injury, Tulowitzki led the Majors in batting average (.340), on-base percentage (.432), and slugging (.603).

Mountain West Conference unveils new logo
The Mountain West Conference unveiled a, um, different logo — and even gave that logo a nickname.
In a press release, the conference claims the logo signals in the ushering in of "a new era in the 13-year history of the Mountain West." The MWC also saved fans the trouble of trying to come up with a nickname for the logo. The conference has dubbed it "The Rock."
"This initiative is emblematic of the evolution of our league," MWC commissioner Craig Thompson said in the release. "The overwhelming majority of the people we spoke to said the Mountain West is bold, feisty and highly competitive, and we strongly believe these qualities are reflected in our new brand identity and our new logo."
The new logo will be worn by all of the conference's teams and be displayed on playing surfaces across the league.
The MWC's website said: "Since its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been at the forefront of progress and innovation."
You know, like Thomas Edison and IBM.
"Today, we're taking it one step further."
The new logo coincided with the unveiling of the league's new tagline: "This is our time." A new website is planned for a July release.
The Mountain West this summer will lose BYU (to independence in football, and to the West Coast Conference in all other sports) and Utah (to the Pac-12). TCU leaves for the Big East in 2012.
Taking those spots in the MWC are Boise State (2011), Nevada (2012), Fresno State (2012) and Hawaii (2012).

This is also a high appreciation for the collaborative struggle, especially of the community of the 21 villages in and around Tripa Peat Swamp. This decision is also proof that the law enforcement in environmental issue became a valuable effort and is expected to be momentum of law enforcement in a broader sense.
- Based on the decision of the Administrative High Court of Medan, WALHI Aceh request the Governor of Aceh to immediately follow up on the decision by cancelling the Plantation Permit issued to PT. Kalista Alam in Tripa Peat Swamp. Further, the Governor of Aceh is expected to evaluate all existing permits of various plantation companies in Tripa Peat Swamp, which are allegedly violating the procedures.
- WALHI Aceh also hopes that the entire legal cases, both civil and criminal cases currently undertaken by the Ministry of the Environment against several plantation companies in Tripa Peat Swamp, as well as the reports of the community and the Coalition for the Protection of Tripa (TKPRT) to the police, can be seriously processed and followed up upon.
We thank you very much for all supports and attentions.

UH Manoa forum focuses on allegations of human organ harvesting in ChinaUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Geography Department
Two international human rights experts will speak October 29th at a UH Mānoa forum, "China's New Genocide," focusing on alleged large-scale, systematic harvesting of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners in China. It will be held Monday, Oct. 29 from 3-5 p.m. at the UH Mānoa Architecture Auditorium, Room 205.
David Matas, international human rights lawyer in Canada, will speak about his independent investigation into the subject. He has served on the Canadian delegation to the United Nations Conference on an International Criminal Court, and the Canadian Delegation to the Stockholm International Forum on the Holocaust.
Dr. Kirk Allison, Director of the University of Minnesota's Program in Human Rights and Health, will discuss medical ethical issues of international organ transplantation in relation to illicit organ harvesting in China. Dr. Allison is an authority on medical ethics, human rights, and public policy.
The forum will discuss how such a horrific practice could take place there, and examine the challenges posed by these crimes to medical professionals, patients, and citizens outside China. The event is sponsored by Associated Students of the University of Hawaii and the UHM College of Social Sciences and Geography Department.
Other UH groups that helped plan this event are the Falun Gong Club and Amnesty International. For information, please contact Prof. Hong Jiang at 956-8164 or email@example.com

|Lesson Author
Milford, Pennsylvania
Through the use of extensive modeling with John Berryman's Sole Watchman, students will understand the steps involved in the analysis and interpretation in poetry. The teacher will model how to summarize and analyze the poem, construct a thesis, and develop an essay. Students will review and discuss a sample essay complete with comments that highlight strong writing decisions. After reading and interpreting Berryman's The Ball Poem, students will construct a 3-4 page essay on this poem.
Beth Hewitts Writing Onstage: Giving Students an Authentic Model was the driving force behind not only this unit, but many of my writing lessons. Hewitts claim that When we write with students, they benefit (6) led to the creation of a model-heavy classroom during writing lessons. A structured model unit such as this can provide great help to students who struggle with the writing process, teachers who are just getting into spontaneous writing, and educators who would like to work extensively with editing and revising.

Hulk Hogan was left twisted like "'The Exorcist'" after his unsuccessful back surgeries.
The wrestling legend recently filed a lawsuit for over $50 million in loss of earnings against the Laser Spine Institute LLC (LSI) in Tampa, Florida, claiming their unnecessary operations on his spine cost him a lucrative contract with the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment).
Hulk - whose real name is Terry Bollea - insists the procedures carried out between February 2009 and August 2010 severely damaged his already injured back and left his body contorted like the possessed character Regan MacNeil in the 1973 horror film.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "The people who worked on my back, Laser Spine, said I didn't need a fusion. So they cut on my back one time and I felt pretty good after a couple of weeks. I called (WWE owner) Vince McMahon and said, 'Man I'm good to go, let's do this deal.' So we started planning, then suddenly I was like, 'Ah, ah, my back!' That put the deal on hold. Then they cut on me six more times and they kept cutting more bone away, until I had to have a spinal cord stimulator put in my back. The stimulator has wires that go up your back and stops the pain. They put that in my back because my body was twisting like 'The Exorcist'. I couldn't pull my head around front, my body was all contorted."
Hulk, 59, had thought he'd found "heaven on earth" after being told by the Laser Spine Institute he didn't need his spine fused together.
But the multi-time world champion was in so much agony he went to see different doctors who were astonished by the state of his back.
Hulk - who now works for 'TNA IMPACT Wrestling' - explained: "Everybody else said I needed a fusion. When they're asking you if you're ready for a fusion, they say make sure you've done every option - rested, trained, proper nutrition. Then if you can't eat, you can't sleep, you can't work, if you can't have sex, if you can't even function in life, then fusion is your only option. The Laser Spine people came along and said, 'You don't need a fusion.' I thought I'd found heaven on earth ... But after the surgeries I was in so much pain that I finally went and got the fusion. The doctors looked at me and went, 'Oh my god! What did they do to you?' They'd cut so much bone away the new doctors didn't know if they could piece it together but they did and I'm OK now."
Part of the multi-year deal with the WWE would have seen Hulk wrestle John Cena in a dream match at the company's annual showpiece 'Wrestlemania'.

I remember a sign I saw outside of a dive bar one of the first few days after the storm. "BRUISED, BUT NOT BROKEN," it read. Ironic that a dive bar was preaching recovery, but that's exactly what we were going through. It's why I was back in Long Beach.
By then, the garbage piles had turned two lanes into one and one-way streets into roadblocks. The mattresses were piled up next to couches, bookcases and even a crib. They sat on still-sandy streets, blocks away from a beach that was suddenly dumped in front yards and strewn throughout homes from Atlantic Beach to the East End.
As I drove from Long Beach Road to a half-empty, still-soaked home on Arizona Avenue, I saw house after house dumped on the sidewalk. To a lot of people, they may just be furniture waiting for collection, but to those that have had to physically carry their memories and treasures into the street, they're much more than wood, plastic and metal.
The hardest part for me wasn't carrying out the futon where countless friends have slept, passed out or hooked up. Nor was it cleaning out the garage that hosted beer pong, flip cup and far too many late-night sing-a-longs. It was the little things that I hadn't used or thought about in ages that hurt the most. Like throwing out the pee-wee hockey trophy that ended up left on the floor of my bedroom or finding my childhood tricycle in the foul-smelling crawl space that was flooded from top to bottom for days after the flood waters subsided. The hardest part – the thing that finally broke me after 10 days of dealing with a broken town and a half-broken house – was finding the only picture I had of me and my grandma was nothing more than a twisted, water-soaked remnant.
I didn't know how to come back from that and I thought back to driving to the house and seeing those piles and wondering how many last memories or forgotten trophies were in those piles. I realized that some of Long Beach will never come back. Some were washed away with Sandy's waters and it's hard to blame them. The bungalows and street-level houses were covered from floor to roof and insurance can only cover so much financially, but how do you rebuild a life that was 10, 20, 30 or even 40 years in the making?
The town-wide sadness weighed me down and the emotions of losing the last physical memory of my grandma pulled at me from the inside out. I lost it. I kicked a nearby trash can and screamed "God damnit!" at the top of my lungs. After two days of carrying furniture and pulling up carpet, I was completely exhausted. But there was more to do and so we pressed on. We pulled up more carpet and I somehow managed to fit my 6-foot-6-inch body into a crawl space that even an average-sized 5-year old would have difficulty maneuvering in.
After all the lugging and pulling was done, our pile stretched from the curb to the garage door and from our house all the way to end of the neighbor's. My dad made a comment about never knowing how much stuff you have. I chuckled and tried to look on the bright side as some good Samaritans drove by offering fruit and coffee and bottled water. There'd been a lot of those cars the past few days, I thought. They were just your average residents of surrounding towns doing what they could to help those stuck waterless and foodless, emptying out their homes. They had sandwiches and bagels and batteries. I didn't know if the National Guard gave it to them or if they bought it themselves, but every time one of them stopped to yell and ask if we needed anything, it was a reminder that even though people would flee and homes would change, Long Beach would still be there.
I guess that's what stuck with me more than anything since Sandy. I remembered the neighbor who spent the night at his sister's house researching how to get our electric garage door open. And the people up and down the block who stopped to see how we were doing; people I hadn't seen in years who spoke to me like I'd been their day-in, day-out neighbor for the last 15 years.
Before we drove away, I remembered the sign. "BRUISED, BUT NOT BROKEN."
We'll be back. If I know anything, I know that.

CLEAR LAKE, Wis. — Marsha Scheuermann met her husband Dave in an Internet chat room where they shared their passion for the 1960s TV sitcom "The Andy Griffith Show." Eventually they fell in love and married.
Today, they live in a replica of Sheriff Taylor's home, and they run a bed-and-breakfast there called the Taylor Home Inn.
"We love the show," Marsha Scheuermann said. "The word fan doesn't quite do it. You got to use the whole word - fanatic."
Guests at the inn are greeted by a "Welcome to Mayberry" sign on the front door as the show's theme song - "The Fishing Hole" with its distinctive whistling - plays in the background.
The door opens and there's Andy's front room just like it looked on TV - the couch and chairs, Look magazines on the coffee table, an RCA Victor black-and-white television, and a bottle of Col. Harvey's Indian Elixir herb formula medicine. (Remember when Aunt Bee bought the tonic for strength and vigor, and got a little tipsy?)
Craig Luns, 37, and his wife, Stacy, of Farmington, Minn., recently spent two nights there.
"It was kind of surreal," he said. "It seems like you are right inside the television show."
The inn is located in Clear Lake, a town of about 1,000 people some 90 miles northeast of the Twin Cities. Scheuermann estimates that the inn cost $250,000 to build and furnish.
"I thought they were crazy at first," said Dave's mother, Rosemary Scheuermann, "but it is the most wonderful, relaxing place to come."
Guests have three choices - Aunt Bee's room, Opie's or Andy's - and they appreciate the old-fashioned wholesomeness.

Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
With teams using more than 100 unique apparatuses to launch globular projectiles a half-mile or more, the 27th annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin event is our pick as November's Weird Festival of the Month.
- Airports, airlines work hard to return your lost items
- Expert: Tourist hordes threaten Sistine Chapel's art
- MGM Grand wants Las Vegas guests to Stay Well
- Report: Airlines collecting $36.1B in fees this year
- Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
"It felt like I walked into a different time era, like it was a time warp," said Roger Byrd, 57, of Prior Lake, Minn. "I just forgot about living in 2006."
Even the family dog has a Mayberry moniker - Ellie Walker, after Andy's girlfriend.
The Scheuermanns have watched many of the nearly 250 episodes of the show up to 200 times, scanning for details to make the home authentic.
Take the stone fireplace. It's 12 feet wide, because Dave Scheuermann watched Andy walk across the room and counted his strides, figuring three feet for each step.
Food is served on Blue Willow plates like Aunt Bee used, in a dining room decorated to match the TV scenes - right down to a ceramic pelican that Opie won at a fair and the pictures on the wall.
"The Grandma Moses picture - it took us four years to find it," Scheuermann said.
Scheuermann and her husband met in 1997 on a Web site set up for fans of the show, in a chat room called "Sarah, get me the courthouse," a reference to Mayberry's unseen telephone operator.
People used the chat room to rehash the shows. "We all took names of the characters of the show. Dave was Orville Monroe because Orville Monroe was the funeral director in Mayberry and Dave is a funeral director. And I took on the name Eleanora Poultice because that was Barney's music teacher," said Scheuermann, who teaches music part-time. "You'd sit there and giggle because you would realize someone else was as sick as you are."
Eventually, the two met in person at Mayberry Days in Andy Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy, N.C. The friendship blossomed into a relationship and the couple married in 2001. They started building their home a year later.
"I had wanted to own a bed-and-breakfast for years," Scheuermann said. "We thought, 'Wouldn't it be fun if we could do Andy's house?'"
Right now they are working on recreating Andy's courthouse office in the basement of the 7,400-square-foot home, along with replicas of Deputy Barney Fife's room and Wally's Filling Station.
Luns, who stayed at the inn in June, will return when the work is completed. "I can't wait," he said.

Renteria keeping hopeful mindset for Cubs
CHICAGO -- Maybe on Saturday, Cubs manager Rick Renteria will take the train to work. On Friday, his first day at his new home office, Wrigley Field, he drove, and he finally got to see his new office.
"I got a desk and a phone and everything I need," Renteria said.
This is Renteria's first big league managing job, and the 52-year-old has been very positive but also low key about his role.
"I feel pretty calm, quite frankly," he said prior to Friday's game. "I'm not too worried about anything, just got to go play the game. We still have to play the game."
Renteria opened the home portion of the schedule against the Phillies and former Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg, who is very familiar with Wrigley Field's elements.
What can Renteria do to change the Cubs, who have four straight losing seasons?
"Hopefully, it's just the mindset," Renteria said. "I'm a pretty positive individual, and I think I try to make sure we understand we have to stay focused and grind out every game and every piece of work we do does matter, every at-bat matters, every out matters, and there's a way to approach the game, win, lose or draw. Hopefully, I bring an attitude that's a fighting attitude and wants to win."
The Cubs may not be predicted to finish high in the National League Central, but Renteria is optimistic.
"For us, not winning is disappointing for any manager or team," he said. "That's the goal. I know if we fall short of that, it'll be disappointing because we want to win and the club wants to win.
"Every club wants to get into the playoffs, and our mindset is to get into the playoffs," he said. "Most people might think that's unrealistic, but these kids here are playing pretty well. We had a decent spring. What do they say? 'Hope springs eternal?' We'll see where we're at when it's all said and done."

I'm trying to set
TERMINFO="$HOME/.terminfo" within my
.bashrc script. The reason being is that my terminal isn't in the system
terminfo location, and so I have its
terminfo file in my home directory.
The problem here is that the change doesn't take effect for the current shell, only subshells. I'm guessing it's because readline is being initialized before bash reads the
.bashrc file.
So is there any way to solve this issue? Perhaps some way to re-initialize readline so the changed
$TERMINFO takes effect?
I'm trying to avoid doing an
exec bash after setting it, as then I have to make sure I don't end up in a re-exec loop, and that's just ugly (though doing
exec bash after setting it does work).
EDIT: This is not a issue running the script. I know for a fact the
.bashrc script is being run and that
$TERMINFO is being set. Running
echo $TERMINFO after the shell has finished starting shows the correct value.
EDIT2: It appears this might be bash or readline library version related. I can't duplicate the issue with bash-4.2.20 and readline-6.2_p1, but I can with bash-3.2 and readline-5.1.3.
"No" is an acceptable answer if it's not possible. But it would be nice to know what's going on that causes the answer to be "no".

Like I said, I don't have much in here yet, but I'm planning on adding more. I'd like to hear what you'd like to see on the shirts.
You've probably noticed that so far I just have two slogan shirts and no image shirts. Well, I'm a bit hesitant because I'm not sure if putting sprites on a shirt would be violating copyright or if I could claim the combination as "intellectual property" or any such set up. If anybody knows one way or another can you let me know, either here, or by email? Thanks
And there definitely will be a Spider-elf shirt or two since I know I can do that one legally. ^__^

LOUISVILLE — If the Monarch boys basketball team was regularly on ESPN, some hyper studio analyst undoubtedly would be breaking down before-and-after footage of Ben Beauchamp's 3-point mechanics.
Some tweaks to his mechanics have turned the Coyotes junior from decent to deadly this season, and it was never more evident than in Tuesday night's 57-41 home rout of Horizon.
Beauchamp drilled all four of his 3-point attempts in the first quarter, converted 6 of 9 overall and finished with 25 points and 11 rebounds. He had outscored the Hawks by himself entering the fourth, as Monarch (18-4, 13-2) kept intact its chance for a straight-up league title matchup Thursday at Fairview.
"He actually has more games than not when he comes out like that," said Monarch forward Marcus Stewart, who got the start on senior night. "It's pretty incredible."
Beauchamp has a noticeably quicker release this season on his perimeter shots, making him appear as if he is open even when defenders are in close proximity.
"It's something I've definitely been working on over the last six months or so," said Beauchamp, who outscored Horizon 25-23 through three quarters. "I realized my shot was pretty slow, so I had to adjust over the summer and the offseason, and it's finally paying off."
This was even more of a whitewash than it looked, as Monarch led by 27 entering the fourth before calling off the dogs. It was a stark contrast to the teams' meeting last month, when Horizon (10-12, 6-9) played the Coyotes to within 63-56.
But that was before the quick-triggered Beauchamp and the Coyotes were on this much of a roll.
"His release is just through his own work, but we have worked on him getting a little more elevation," Monarch coach Ken Niven said. "He shot more of a set shot when he walked in here, and we changed that and put a little more jump into his shot.
"He struggled with it really bad last year until the end, and now it's starting to pay dividends."
Beauchamp was the only player on either side to score in double-figures, and he also handed out six assists — many on backdoor cuts. One of those was to Stewart, who started for the first portion of the season but has been a reserve since Kyle Billingsley returned from injury and Jay MacIntyre arrived from California.
"It was nice, since I hadn't started since the beginning of the season," Stewart said. "But I'm not complaining that I don't start."
The Coyotes' other senior, regular starter Alex Krason, registered nine points.
Horizon had no players in double figures, as the Coyotes limited Dillon Harshman, who scored 16 in the initial meeting, to five.
"We came out focused and played very well," Niven said. "I'm excited about going down (to Fairview) and playing them. We'll give it our best shot."
Monarch fans can only hope Beauchamp didn't use up all of his best shots Tuesday.
"I was feeling it tonight, especially in the first half," Beauchamp said. "We have great zone offense, so if team's play a zone, we're bound to get open looks."

What is Cardiac Rehabilitation?
Cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) is a medically supervised program that helps improve the health and well-being of people who have heart problems.
Rehab programs include exercise training, education on heart healthy living, and counseling to reduce stress and help you return to an active life.
Cardiac rehab can help you:
- Recover after a heart attack or heart surgery.
- Prevent future hospital stays, heart problems, and death related to heart problems.
- Address risk factors that can lead to coronary heart disease and other heart problems. These risk factors include high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, overweight or obesity, diabetes, smoking, lack of physical activity, and depression and other emotional health concerns.
- Adopt healthy lifestyle changes. These changes may include following a heart healthy diet, being physically active, and learning how to manage stress.
- Improve your health and quality of life.
Your cardiac rehab program will be designed to meet your needs.
The Cardiac Rehabilitation Team
Cardiac rehab involves a long-term commitment from the patient and a team of health care providers. The cardiac rehab team may include doctors (such as a family doctor, a heart specialist, and a surgeon), nurses, exercise specialists, physical and occupational therapists, dietitians or nutritionists, and psychologists or other mental health specialists. Sometimes a case manager will help track your care.
Working with the team is an important part of cardiac rehab. You should share questions and concerns with the team. This will help you reach your goals.
People of all ages can benefit from cardiac rehab. The lifestyle changes made during rehab have few risks. These changes can improve your overall health and prevent future heart problems and even death.
Exercise training as part of cardiac rehab might not be safe for all patients. For example, if you have very high blood pressure or severe heart disease, you might not be ready for exercise. However, you can still benefit from other parts of the cardiac rehab program.
Ask your doctor whether cardiac rehab can help you prevent a future heart problem and improve your health.

Welcome to Backpack the Sierra
When the leaves fall
Sep 25, 2015, 9:09 AM
by Paul Wagner
It's now officially autumn, and that means that backpacking in the Sierra is a slightly different ballgame.
First of all, the days are actually shorter, and you really notice this on the trail. We found ourselves climbing into our sleeping bags at night when it was dark, and then checking our watches to find out that it wasn't quite 8 o'clock yet.
It made for some nice long snoozes, especially since the sun didn't come up behind the peaks until after 7 a.m. When was the last time you spent 10 hours in bed just relaxing?
The fall colors are spectacular in the Sierra, that's for sure. But don't be misled by all this warm sunny weather. It can get cold at night, and a storm can change your outlook overnight. Make sure you check the forecast before you head out on any trips.
And this time of year, it's always a good idea to have a shortcut planned out in case you need to escape some nasty weather.
Getting hit by a snowstorm when you are two days from the trailhead is not as much fun as it sounds.

Third and fourth ingredients are named meat products
Inadequate meat content, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is maize (corn). Corn is a difficult to digest grain of limited value in dog food, and which is also commonly associated with food allergies. Even if this had been a decent grain, however, we would still note that grains are not a natural foodstuff for canines and are of very low quality compared to meat (on which dog foods should instead be based). Rice, the second ingredient, is a decent quality grain - but still further grain.
The first true meat ingredient does not occur until 3rd on the ingredient list, which gives us little confidence in the overall meat content of the food. Chicken, the 4th ingredient is not a meat meal, but instead is inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once this is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. As ingredients are listed in order of weight, it is thus unlikely that this ingredient is truely amongst the most prolific in the food and would be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list. At wet weight only the 4th ingredient in the the food, it is likely that the true amount of this ingredient is significantly lower and it is unlikely to make up a significant portion of the food.
Corn germ and potato protein boost the protein content of the food to it's minimal level, but plant protein is of very low quality compared to meat.
Beet fibre (pulp) is a controversial filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
Glucosamine and chondroitin, although specified on the ingredient list are not present in useful quantities for any therapudic purpose (as is the case for all dog food products) and we consider highlighting these to be a gimmick. We note the food has added vitamins and minerals, but no information is given about these and may include synthetics.

UPDATE – Statement from Wisconsin GAB received at 4:30 regarding this story.
Today, the GAB contacted Waukesha County Corporation Counsel regarding claims that ballots and election materials from the June 5 Recall Election would be destroyed today. The Waukesha County Corporation Counsel's office indicated that these materials would be transferred to offsite storage today. All further questions should be referred to Waukesha County Corporation Counsel or Clerk. The G.A.B. is not authorized to provide Waukesha County with legal advice regarding the public records law, nor does the G.A.B. have any authority to enforce the public records law.
In a must-read Brad Blog article this morning; emails from Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus to election protection group legal counsel created a firestorm. Nickolaus referenced what would amount to illegally destroying election materials in the face of open records requests; which would preserve the ballots beyond the statutory-defined 30 days:
Unless I receive a court order by noon on Monday, August 13, 2012 directing otherwise, I will proceed to retain or destroy the election materials from the June 5, 2012 Recall election according to state statute and GAB guidelines.
This statement appears to be contrary to the GAB advice to County Clerks, sent in a July 3 email:
Ultimately, each county and municipality is subject to the application of Wisconsin's public records laws and individually responsible for compliance therewith. Failure to comply with public records laws does expose the counties and municipalities to civil penalties and potential attorney's fees. It is strongly recommended that you each obtain adequate legal counsel to appropriately comply with these public records requests, as well as maintain the chain of custody and integrity of the June 5, 2012 election materials.
Badger Democracy contacted Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel for comment at 8:30 this morning. Schimel stated he knew nothing of the requests prior to this morning, expressed his concern about the Nickolaus situation, and "…now is not a good time to be destroying any election materials." When asked about the Nickolaus emails, Schimel stated he would contact County Corporate Counsel Thomas Farley and call back with an update.
At 10:15 am, Corporate Counsel Farley called back Badger Democracy with only the following statement, citing attorney/client confidentiality:
Kathy Nickolaus, my client, will act responsibly.
Within minutes, DA Schimel called Badger Democracy with further information. After discussion with the County Clerk's office, Schimel stated "Nothing is being destroyed today. Measures have been taken to preserve all election materials from the recall election, and things are on hold at this point."
Schimel also expressed his concern in the situation in light of Nickolaus not seeking re-election for another term. Kathy Nickolaus is out of the office today, and unavailable for comment. Badger Democracy phoned Nickolaus' private number and left a message. Updates will be posted if she responds.
Kathy Nickolaus likely sent the threatening email without consulting counsel. It would also appear that the DA and Corporate Counsel in Waukesha County are in damage control mode again – because of ever – vigilant citizen election protection groups…and Kathy Nickolaus. The pressure should be maintained in light of this information.

Axios's Sam Baker says that the initial reports about Obamacare enrollment this year will prove to be misleading.
"People keep saying enrollment is going well. It's not. Sure, the number of people signing up each day appears high. That doesn't mean much when the enrollment period is half as long as it was last year. In about two weeks, open enrollment is going to end, and the overall number is going to be low, and a lot of the public is going to be confused about what happened, after they kept hearing about how enrollment was so much stronger than last year. That hasn't been the case since the first week of the sign-up window, and it certainly is not the case now."
So far, nearly 2.8 million people have signed up for 2018 coverage, compared to 12.2 million who signed up last year.

Former county commissioner remembered
July 9, 2008
A former Leavenworth County commissioner, Leavenworth mayor and community activist died Sunday at age 69.
Robert L. "Bob" Adams, who served two consecutive terms on the County Commission from 1997 to 2005, as Leavenworth City commissioner from 1993 to 1997, as Leavenworth mayor in 1995 and 1996 and as a former Lansing-Leavenworth Area Chamber of Commerce president, leaves behind a lasting memory for many of the county residents he came in contact with through the years.
Former 3rd District County Commissioner Joe Daniels Jr., who sat next to Adams for four years, said Adams was "always very much looking out for the welfare of the county. He tried to serve in that vein."
Daniels added that Adams was a big supporter of regionalism; he sat on the board of directors for the Mid-America Regional Council, an association of city and county governments for the bistate Kansas City region, and he represented the Board of County Commissioners as an ex-officio member of Leavenworth Area Development, the economic development engine now known as Leavenworth County Development Corp. and the Leavenworth County Port Authority.
"He was a strong supporter of everything we did," current Port Authority chairman Terry Andrews said Tuesday. " : He was very forward-thinking and had a vision that was way ahead of his time in many regards."
Andrews added, "He was a good person. He always listened to both sides of an argument. I never once, as long as I knew him, saw him angry."
Adams, who, for many years, ran an Amoco Service Station at Fourth and Limit streets in Leavenworth just like his father, Gilbert Adams, had done before him, took a job with Dodge before beginning work in local government in the 1990s.
He was also active as a member of the board of directors for Cushing Memorial Hospital and devoted a lot of time and effort to the Leavenworth County 4-H Club.
"He was such a wonderful human being and such a friend of 4-H," Beth Hecht, a county extension agent, said of Adams. "He's going to be very much missed."
Hecht said, as a former 4-H member himself, Adams was instrumental during the years the county 4-H program served as a full-scale prevention program for the state's Juvenile Justice Authority.
"He saw the difference it (4-H) can make in kids lives and in families' lives, and he was such a believer in that," Hecht added. " : I have tremendous respect for the man as an individual."
Services for Adams will be at 10 a.m. Thursday at the First Baptist Church, 13th and Osage streets, Leavenworth.

Stevens Civil Engineering Students Design Bridges for Exit 11 of Garden State Parkway
Soon you might drive over the work of a team of Stevens undergraduate engineering students and not even know it.
For their senior design requirement, five Stevens seniors helped the engineering consulting firm The Louis Berger Group in independently replicating the design two highway bridges for Exit 11 of the Garden State Parkway, where the firm holds the contract to provide complete design and construction support.
Civil Engineering majors Stefannye Barragan, Daniel Garcia, Freddys Hernandez, Esteban Roldan and Hui Zhang – working as "structural sub-consultants" for project sponsor The Louis Berger Group – independently designed the structural components of two parallel bridges situated 12 feet apart with identical structural designs and minor dimension differences using the Parkway's design criteria. One bridge will carry the northbound Garden State Parkway and the other will carry the southbound side.
The bridges – which the team estimates will cost more than $2.6 million to build – consist of super-structures featuring steel plate girders and composite reinforced concrete deck slabs, and sub-structures featuring integral abutments supported by driven piles with mechanically stabilized earth walls.
The team is responsible for their independent structural design of the bridges, considering criteria like safety, serviceability, constructability, economy and aesthetics in finalizing their design.
Location poses one challenge.
"The soil doesn't provide much support for the foundation, so skin friction from the driven piles were used to support the structure," said Hernandez.
They also have to work within the dimensions outlined by The Louis Berger Group's roadway engineers which set a height clearance under the highway of 15.5 feet.
"This limited the girder depth to 40 inches and drove all other dimensions of the super-structure," said Hernandez.
Although the bridges have yet to be built, the team's design has already been a success.
On April 7, competing against student engineering teams from dozens of other regional universities, the design won first prize in the Civil Engineering category of the Lower Hudson Valley Engineering EXPO, an annual event organized by the New York State Society of Professional Engineers (NYSSPE) to introduce high school students to the field of engineering.
The students are thankful for the bridge and highway design knowledge and business skills they gained in the two semesters they worked on the project.
"This project provided a very realistic simulation of how a project would be executed in a design consulting firm and gave the team experience in project execution and delivery," said Hernandez.
Some of the students will start working in the transportation design field after graduation, so the project also provided a great foundation for their early work.
"This is the kind of project a transportation design firm would want their new hires to have worked on before," said Hernandez.
The team's faculty advisors are X. Frank Xu and Leslie Brunell, Stevens professors in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Ocean Engineering.
The Louis Berger Group – a Morristown, N.J.-based consulting firm that provides engineering, architecture, program and construction management, environmental planning and science, and economic development services – has sponsored Stevens senior design teams in the past, involving Civil Engineering students in an array complex, real-world design projects.
"The Stevens senior design projects are a great opportunity for the students to show all that they have learned during the time at Stevens," said Stevens Class of 1987 alumnus John Tan, P.E., Director of Structural Design at The Louis Berger Group. "This year's group exhibited excellent problem solving skills in applying their Stevens engineering education, especially in structural and geotechnical engineering."
