Alternative routes to university
Access Programme For School Leavers
This programme is designed for students who have completed the Leaving Certificate examination but who were unable to go on to third level. The programme is open to students from schools in the Border, Midlands, Western Region and County Clare.
The programme normally takes place over a full academic year and is delivered on the NUI Galway campus. We also offer a programme in Sligo, in partnership with St. Angela's College of Education.
A range of academic and support modules are covered during the programme. Students are selected on the basis of their socio-economic status and academic potential.
For more information and to apply, visit the NUI Galway Access Office.

text: Chiropractic IdentityDefining who we are for health careFall 2012 Home article > a message from Dr. Burt An identity that fits us all A Palmer Doctor of Chiropractic is: the primary care professional for spinal health and well-being . It is clearly stated and clearly understood. When I graduated nearly 40 years ago I intuitively thought that we as chiropractors were the primary care providers of spinal health and well-being. I also have always believed that Palmer is the preeminent chiropractic college, and our brand tagline, The Trusted Leader in Chiropractic Education, sums up my feelings very well. We're taking our history, our philosophy and our mission and bringing them together in our identity statement and our tagline. Throughout my years of practice, I've struggled to come up with a concise statement about what chiropractors do. I like the Palmer identity statement because we're the ones who are firstline providers in spinal care. It opens the door to talk with patients about the scope of chiropractic care—that we're not only the primary care professionals for spinal health, but also for overall well-being. The identity statement is something the profession as a whole can embrace, not just Palmer chiropractors. Because it talks about spinal health and well-being, it bridges the gap between mechanistic- and vitalistic-oriented chiropractors. I'm going to put it on my website, on my patient education monitors and any materials used in my practice. The other aspect, besides using it to concisely explain what I do for my patients, is that it gives our legislators and the business community a way to identify what chiropractors do. Business people can use this to explain why they've added chiropractic benefits for their employees, including those like Standard Process Inc. who are providing in-house chiropractic care for employees and seeing benefits like fewer sick days and increased well-being and productivity. (See the Spinal Column on page 18.) The identity statement is one sentence, but it is very powerful. We need to make more people aware of what chiropractors do so they seek our care, and this is one of those statements that moves us closer to that in just nine words. To read all of the identity documents, go to our website at www.palmer.edu and click on "Who We Are," then "Our Identity." The identity documents are further proof that Palmer is demonstrating its role as The Trusted Leader in Chiropractic Education. We are making a concerted effort to provide the resources necessary to validate what we do. Speaking of resources, the Alumni Office is continuing to look at different services to provide to our alumni that will positively impact your bottom line. You'll find information about these services on page 3 and also on the alumni section of the Palmer website at www.palmer.edu/BusinessServices. We're in the process of revising our web pages. We're always interested in your feedback on the "For Alumni and Friends" section of the website. E-mail me at email@example.com if you have any suggestions. article >

Weather Channel produces "Tipping Points" documentaries
[media-credit name="Weather Channel" align="alignright" width="270″][/media-credit]
They're not just about highs and lows on the map any more. The Weather Channel announced Thursday it's latest original production, an ambitious-sounding six-part documentary series, "Tipping Points," for which it serves as the U.S. partner.
The aim is to chronicle what's going on with the Earth's rapidly changing ("destabilizing," scientists say) climate system. There's no mention of "global warming" in the project description, but melting icecaps and dying rainforests are among the critical examples.
The six hours will follow a group of scientists from the Amazon to Siberia and beyond as they "explore the perilous tipping points making our weather systems more extreme and unpredictable." According to the producers, "localized ecological systems are known to shift abruptly and irreversibly from one state to another when they are forced across critical thresholds… when pushed past the "tipping point," it will potentially lead to a chain reaction, putting other ecosystems around the globe in peril."

Driving too fast for road conditions is a leading cause of crashes involving teen drivers. Talk to your teens about the importance of slowing down and taking these additional precautions:
- Increase following distance when traveling on wet roads and snow-packed surfaces.
- Brake slowly and only when traveling in a straight line.
- If you hydroplane, take your foot off the accelerator and keep the wheels pointed straight ahead.
- Use low beams or fog lights when traveling in dense fog.
- Have your teen do lots of practice driving in a variety of weather conditions.
- As always, be sure all passengers are buckled up!
How to handle a crash
You can help teen drivers stay calm in the event of a collision by walking them through the appropriate steps ahead of time. Instruct your teen to:
- Take a deep breath and stay calm.
- Check to see that everyone is OK and call 911 to report the crash and any injuries.
- If you're able, move cars out of traffic and turn on the hazard lights.
- Notify your insurance agent immediately.
- Take photos of the damage. The State Farm® mobile app can help with this step.
- Wait until the police arrive to speak to anyone about the crash, get the other driver's information, and sign any documents.
- Ask if police will be filing a report, which will collect a lot of the information you need to file a claim
- Don't leave the crash scene until the police do.
Find more information from State Farm about driving safety tips for severe weather, and visit the Teen Driver Safety website for additional safe driving tips for teens.

"Wonder lies in the Bay and its watershed in full measure."
– Tom Horton, Bay Country
The Chesapeake Bay is more than a body of water, more than America's largest estuary. For those who live near its shores, the Bay provides a powerful sense of local identity.
In the warm months, it is a home for workboats stacked with pots or equipped with coiled trotlines looking to catch blue crabs. Swimmers and recreational boaters enjoy relaxed days exploring the Bay's waters and creating memories. In the colder months, the Bay even welcomes a few skipjacks whose crews still hoist their sails in pursuit of oysters as they have for generations.
For Marylanders, these cultural traditions offer ways of knowing the Bay that are as important as what science teaches us about it. Different people view the Bay through different lenses. Maryland Sea Grant has worked to fund and publish scholarly research by social scientists about these different ways of seeing and knowing. The scientists' findings offer to inform public discussions and consensus-building about how best to restore the Bay.
Some examples of social science we've supported:
- Michael Paolisso of the University of Maryland, College Park has argued that public discussions about Bay restoration often neglect to consider watermen, farmers, and others as "environmentalists." This means that conservation advocates may fail to take full advantage of these groups' strong ethic for preserving both the soil and the Bay. Read more in Paolisso's book, Chesapeake Environmentalism: Rethinking Culture to Strengthen Restoration and Resource Management, part of the Chesapeake Perspectives series published by Maryland Sea Grant. For sale through our Bookstore.
- Erve Chambers, also at the University of Maryland, College Park has questioned the often-expressed view that Bay cultures are "dying." According to Chambers, a characteristic that most defines the iconic Eastern Shore watermen is their resilience, their capacity to make do. Read more in Heritage Matters: Heritage, Culture, History, and Chesapeake Bay, also in the Chesapeake Perspectives series. For sale through our Bookstore.
Maryland Sea Grant also published Working the Chesapeake: Watermen On the Bay, a book describing in words and pictures the lives and work of the watermen who fish for oysters, blue crabs, finfish, soft and hard clams, and eels. For sale through our Bookstore. Sadly it's a depiction of a disappearing world.
The sense of place that Marylanders draw from the Chesapeake is also reflected in the robust body of art and literature about it. Photographers and painters have depicted the beauty of its landscape. Writers have transformed the Bay into a rich character, weaving it through plots and storylines.
The Chesapeake has served as a backdrop for key moments in our nation's history, including the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. An estuary that opens to the sea, the Bay provided an important, consequential highway between the Old and New Worlds in America's early days — and today.
Our webpage on Coastal Planning and Land Use describes efforts by Maryland Sea Grant Extension staff to help communities in the Chesapeake region plan for the future, through land-use policies and other means. The goal is to preserve the region's natural resources and the businesses and jobs that depend on them.
Maryland Sea Grant Extension has produced economic analyses of the value of recreational boating in Maryland.

Jeni426 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 61 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
UB FILM http://www.ubfilm.com
The company http://www.ubroadcast.com has created a seperate film division that will be a site all on it's own. We want to create a powerful logo that will brand the UB FILM name, seperate from ubroadcast.com. We are a new up and coming Production and Digital Distribution company that caters to filmmakers and young artists who are looking to make independent films, get representation with major agencies that represent the company, and festival submissions at academy qualifying festivals. The new division: UB FILM comes from the parent company: http://www.ubroadcast.com. I like the logo on that page, and would like to create something similar...but different enough so that UB FILM can be even more powerful and stand on its own as an individual company. http://WWW.UBFILM.COM has not been created yet... we need the logo for the splash page as we are currently working with programmers to make the site easy to navigate through and adaptable to uploading content, etc.
Our audience are young filmmakers who are interested in seriously making a career for themselves in Hollywood. We cater to all artists and industry professionals and would like the brand to encompass everyone. There is a social networking aspect to this site so we would like to incorporate filmmakers with producers, composers and actors, etc.
We would like a logo that is chic and very clean. Something bold, powerful, and with the coloring of red, White and black.. The best example I can give is THR (the Hollywood Reporter) logo. I love how powerful and straight forward their brand is. We want to make a powerful statement with UB FILM as it is the logo that will brand our entire network. I have drawn a mock version of the direction the splash page will be. Its not finalized and probably will be subjected to change; however, you will get the basic outline of the page with the attachment. I would like something that has the name "UB FILM" and then underneath the blocked letters, the catch phrase: WHAT DO YOU GET? Our Motif on the site is that users "GET" everything. "GET FILMS" "GET RESOURCES" "GET CONNECTED" ETC... If you could please create a logo that has "UB FILM" with "WHAT DO YOU GET?" attached to it.. either underneath it or beside it. If you wanted to play with some artwork: (a film slate, gold star, film oriented symbols etc.. I would be open to something like that.) But the most important thing I am looking for is a logo that is similar to the Hollywood Reporter with a catch phrase "what do YOU get?" underneath/attached to it.

In Emacs, when I type
M-h (
mark-paragraph), Emacs selects the paragraph under point plus an extra line (typically right above the paragraph). Is there a way to ask Emacs to just select the paragraph?
Note: I have noticed this behavior under
shell-script-mode, but haven't checked if it occurs with other major modes.

text: There are approximately 300 different types of turtles, including seven species of sea turtles. It is estimated that turtles have existed for over 200 million years, making them some of the oldest living creatures on Earth! Turtles are best known for their hard outer shell, also called a carapace, which protects them. Turtles don't have teeth, so they use their sharp beaks to tear up their food. Currently, more than half of the world's turtle species are threatened or endangered due to centuries of poorly regulated trade, habitat loss and hunting. In addition to terrestrial threats, the more the ocean is filled with plastic and debris, the more it is becoming a treacherous environment for sea turtles. Did you know? Plastic bags, for example, can look like jellyfish underwater, causing hungry sea turtles to devour them. If you were a turtle, could you tell the difference? The bags are hard for the turtles to digest, and can be fatal if the plastic causes blockages in their digestive system. Research shows that young, ocean-dwelling turtles are eating twice as much plastic as turtles their age did 25 years ago. Since plastic bags are petroleum-based, they do not biodegrade. By recycling plastic bags or using reusable bags, we can decrease the amount of plastic in the ocean and other water sources, therefore helping out our turtle friends! Help us celebrate World Turtle Day by taking our 48 Days of Blue pledge to carry all of your purchases with reusable bags!

I started a new job a couple weeks ago and it's in NKY - so that means new lunch reviews! I had pretty much exhausted downtown - so it was about time. (Yeah - I totally got laid off just so you all could have new reviews.)
I actually used to work in the same area pre-Food Hussy - but a lot has changed! My standards of Roly Poly & Quiznos are gone so I have to find some new haunts.
My boss introduced me to the Grandview Tavern - it's right off Buttermilk near Better Bodies.
We started out with bread and butter - the bread was REALLY tasty and the butter soft - WIN!
I started with a salad ($1.95) and their house dressing (Sweet Basil Vinaigrette) - it was good - nothing too special but nice.
I got their special and I found out that pretty much every day - there's a tilapia special! I guess it's different daily - but nearly always tilapia. I decided to try it - there was some sort of aioli on it. It was fine - cooked well - the aioli tasted pretty much like straight mayo so that was just okay. I liked the way the veggies were cooked - kinda bendy but still with a little crunch.
Since this was my first day on the job - I did not taste any of the coworkers food - thought that might be overstepping boundaries. So above is one of their pizzas - I think the Sicilian ($12).
Grilled Chicken with Sweet Potato Fries...($10)
Half-pound angus burger...($11)
Why Should You Go? If you live in the area - it's a decent "bar & grille" type place. I wasn't shockingly impressed but it's a nice atmosphere and good food.

Folks, it appears as if many of you are still struggling with some basic wiki concepts. This is fine, but we are headed into midterm, and you should be more adept at writing on the wiki by this point.
I propose a face-to-face session or two so I can help you over any hurdles that you still find too high. The purpose of this post is to gauge interest.
We could schedule this session for an evening or during the day — or both if there is enough interest. Please indicate below your interest and a couple of times that would work for you, and keep in mind my teaching schedule.
- @Grlucas: I would love to have a face-to-face session or two. I have never been fond of online courses but due to the nature of this degree it is inevitable. I have always learned much better through the traditional setting. My schedule is very flexible; I have no classes Monday, and my TH classes are 9:30 to 3:15. On Wednesday I have one class at 9:30. I am free at every other time!
- I'm in! MW 1-3 and TR nights would work well for me. —Jules Carry (talk) 07:02, 26 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: I'm available for a meeting Monday between 9a-12pm and Wednesday between 10:45am-12pm KhajadaNeal (talk) 07:41, 26 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: I am interested. I am available T/R anytime after 10:45 AM and M/W after 3:15 PM. --Bridgette96 (talk) 15:45, 26 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: I'm available Monday/Wednesday from 12:30-2:00 and Tuesday morning until 11:00. Would missing these meetings count as an absence, or are they optional? I'm at work or in class all of the other times. --Cavaliergirl96 (talk) 16:36, 26 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Cavaliergirl96: They would be optional, though certainly everyone should attend. —Grlucas (talk) 16:43, 26 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: I am available Friday mornings/early afternoon from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9:30-10:30. MarinChristina (talk) 17:22, 26 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: My schedule is really weird, so if I can't attend I will try to meet up with you during your office hours or get with another student who is able to attend. When I'm not in class, I'm at work. If you decide to meet in person, I can try to request off and be there!
- @Grlucas: I would like to attend! I don't have any classes on Monday. So I can meet on Mondays.Vada.amerson (talk) 17:58, 27 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: Hey Dr. Lucas, I would like to meet face to face. I can meet you on Wednesday before my 2:00 class. Tami Marie (talk19:11, 27 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: I think a face-to-face session would really help. Would this be available to students on the Cochran campus, since you only have office hours on the Macon campus?--Daisja30 (talk) 21:34, 27 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: FACE TO FACE is everything that I need and more! Monday works for me 1-3,Tuesday i'm available from 1-2. I just need a set time and i will definitely be there VincentH81 (talk) 12:02, 28 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: I thins a face-to-face session would be good. The best time for me would be on Monday since I do not have any classes on Monday but if that does not work, Tuesday after 10:45 am would be good. Wednesdays and Thursdays are tricky for me since those are the days that I have the most classes to attend to. MGray1196 (talk) 11:42, 28 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: I would like to meet face to face also. I only have a class in Cochran at 12:30-1:45. I live on the Cochran campus as well.--TSmith2020 (talk) 19:59, 28 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: Yes! I am on board with a face to face session. I am available Monday 9 am - 3 pm, T/R 9 am - 1:30 pm and Wed 12:30 pm - 3: 30 pm. I look forward to a finalized date, time and place. Thank you.--Amayesing77 (talk) 12:41, 29 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: I would love to be able to have a face to face session. I am all online, so no other classes interfere. My only request, if it is at all possible, is that if there is a face to face session that it be later in the day (after 5), or on a Wednesday/weekend. Tprouty93 (talk) 15:20, 29 September 2019 (EDT)
- @Grlucas: I would love a face to face session however I am only in Macon on Wednesdays after 11am. HashondraJames (talk)

Watering the Tulips
September 19, 2012
"Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?"– Job 31:15
Election time is upon us again. Many issues are being discussed relative to who one should vote for. In the opinion of this author, one issue which has steadily been forgotten needs to be brought back up. In years past, Christians have spoken out against the infanticide, called abortion, which is taking place right here in America. Nobody would ever suggest that Adolf Hitler or Saddam Hussein had the "choice" to murder all of the people they did. And yet, right here in America, people (sadly, sometimes even professing believers) maintain that a woman should have the "choice" to commit the same crime as these wicked men.
Almost 40 years have passed since our government legalized the murder of infants in the womb. Since January 22, 1973, over 55 million children have been murdered in the very place that should be the safest place on Earth – their mother's womb. To put that in perspective, it is estimated that Adolph Hitler murdered 11 million people. None of us would ever vote for a man like Adolph Hitler. And yet, this year Christians will vote for candidates that have put their stamp of approval on the murder of 5 times the amount of people that Hitler murdered. Has our conscience been seared with a hot iron (1 Timothy 4:2)? I think it has.
Our text verse is one of many verses which prove God's attitude towards the unborn. Simply, life begins at conception. There is no other time that life can begin logically, medically, scientifically or, more importantly, Biblically. God alone is the giver of life and this begins at conception (Psalms 139:13; Jeremiah 1:5). When Elizabeth heard Mary's salutation, the Scripture tells us that her "babe leaped in her womb" (Luke 1:41). John the Baptist is referred to as a "babe" before he was ever born. It has well been said, "Abortion doesn't make you unpregnant, it makes you the mother of a dead baby". If the Bible is true (and it most certainly is), this is as true of a statement about abortion as has ever been made.
If anybody today was for the mass murder of two year olds, there'd be no discussion here. Nobody in our churches would even consider that there was ever a reason to kill a pre-kindergartner. And yet, in the eyes of God, there is no difference. Abortion is as much murder as any other taking of life. This is why God had penalties in the Mosaic Law for a child that was killed in the womb (Exodus 21:22-25). If a man hurt a pregnant woman so that her unborn child died, his life was required. God's attitude towards the life of the unborn is clear in the Bible.
The longer sin is tolerated, the more accepting we are of it. We know this is true in our own lives. Christians by and large stood against abortion on January 22, 1973 when Roe v. Wade was decided. However, 40 years later, it's almost forgotten. Oh, theologically we may oppose abortion. But practically, it's less of an issue than taxes, national healthcare or social security. What a sad state we are in today. Child of God, millions of American citizens have been murdered in the past 40 years – more than all of the world's wars put together. Stand up and oppose the legalized infanticide that is going on in America today. Remember this ever so important issue when you examine candidates. You can find out where their heart is really quick by finding out their position on this important issue.

I am setting up a "network" of related blogs and will be producing a variety of written, audio and video content for these pages.
The target market for these initial two blogs are technical people. I'm not selling anything to them, just providing content.
I need two website logo/banners designed for a couple of blog sites I'm setting up. They are similar in theme/style/etc, so I want the two banners to look similar, but not identical.
The two sites are:
Sean on IT - seanonit.com
Sean on Startups - seanonstartups.com
The header area is 104em or 1040px wide. Height is more of a design issue - not too big obviously. I also want favicons for each site (or one for the whole network).
A couple of sites that do similar things with full length banner logos are:
Those are just a couple of examples. A rough draft of seanonit.com is up and I'm going with a pretty heavy black theme at the moment, but I'm not stuck on it. Fell free to innovate with colour.

Nebraska Wins Best New License Plate Award
Omaha, Neb., June 18, 2013
The Automobile License Plate Collectors Association (ALPCA, Inc.) has overwhelmingly voted the Friends of the Union Pacific Railroad Museum license plate from Nebraska as the best new plate in the United States. Last year, Nebraska introduced a beautiful license plate to increase support for the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, which also coincided with 150th Anniversary of the creation of the railroad.
Since 1970, ALPCA has recognized a state with the best new license plate design of the year. This year marks the 42nd anniversary of the award and the first award for Nebraska. "I am pleased to announce that the Great State of Nebraska is this year's recipient of ALPCA's Best Plate Award," said ALPCA President Greg Gibson. "Nebraska's outstanding Railroad plate topped plates from twelve other states."
ALPCA members worldwide were asked to vote based on two judging criteria: the overall attractiveness of the license plate design and its legibility as a tool for public safety and law enforcement. ALPCA's Best Plate Award Coordinator Gus Oliver said, "Many of the members commented about the combination of attractiveness and simplicity of this plate. I knew it had an excellent chance of winning the moment I first saw it."
"The Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles is honored to have assisted with facilitating the production of the Union Pacific Railroad Museum license plate," said Rhonda Lahm, Director for the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles. "The plate not only honors the significant contribution the Union Pacific Railroad makes to the State of Nebraska, but also displays the urban and rural diversity of our state."
"The Friends of the Union Pacific Railroad Museum Board and all who work or volunteer at the museum were proud to be a part of Union Pacific's 150th anniversary celebration during 2012," said Eileen Davis, board president – Friends of the UPRR Museum. "A specialty license plate for Nebraska residents seemed a fitting tribute since Union Pacific is integral to America's history, providing the connection from east to west that helped build this great nation."
About the Friends of the Museum
The Friends of the Union Pacific Railroad Museum is a non-profit 501(c) organization whose mission is to assist with providing financial and volunteer support for the museum. The Friends have a Board of Directors which represents the community at large and provides input for the daily operation and management of the museum. The Friends are funded by gift shop sales, daily donations, memberships, special events and grants. They assist with providing the financial resources for all permanent and special exhibits, advertising, outreach programs and the volunteer corps which serves at the museum.
About the Union Pacific Railroad Museum
Visitors to the Union Pacific Railroad Museum journey through more than 150 years of American history while viewing one of the oldest corporate collections in the nation. Housed in a historic Carnegie Library building in Council Bluffs, Iowa, visitors discover an extensive compilation of artifacts, photographs, documents and equipment from one of our nation's most ambitious endeavors - constructing the transcontinental railroad and settling the West, simultaneously chronicled in museum exhibits. Among the most popular museum exhibits are the transcontinental railroad's construction; "America Travels by Rail," which celebrates the height of passenger travel; the Lincoln Collection, featuring artifacts from President Abraham Lincoln's rail car and funeral; and the technology and innovation that sustain Union Pacific as a railroad industry leader. The Union Pacific Railroad Museum also promotes a sense of connectedness shared by generations of people whose personal and family histories have been touched by the railroad.

One of America's most recognized companies, Union Pacific Railroad links 23 states in the western two-thirds of the country by rail, providing a critical link in the global supply chain.

Most types are also available in smaller size for motorcycles. Nebraska residents may order the Friends of the UPRR Museum plate online at www.clickdmv.ne.gov.

Once the power center of the world, the Eternal City shines and inspires anew if you take your time with it. (Just don't order cappuccino afternoon.)
Author Joe Keohane Photography Mark Read
IT'S THE TREVI FOUNTAIN that does it. You'll be strolling aimlessly around Rome's alleyways at night, ideally with an almond gelato in hand, and all of a sudden, there it is: the Trevi, packed into an undersize square, the light off the water flickering up against the Baroque masterwork, gazed upon by young Roman lovers sharing bench space with tourists. It's one of the city's—which is to say one of the world's—leading tourist attractions, but nothing can prepare you for the sensation of just happening upon it.
Many a Roman holiday has been ruined by outsize ambitions. It's more important to feel it than to see it. In Rome—a single syllable that once encompassed the world—stylish businessmen wander down narrow mazelike streets originally trod by distant ancestors, and workaday Romans chat idly in the shadows of great monuments to lost power and faded glory. Here, the weight of history subtly imbues even the most pedestrian routines of city life. Three days here is all the evidence you need that though the Eternal City has lost its imperial reach, it has lost none of its power.
Are you doing a story on fashion in Rome for the March edition?
How do I buy a copy if I live in Rome?
Another question – Do you ever need video/films shot in Rome as I am a Rome based film maker who knows Rome and other parts of Italy very well.? I also speak fluent Italian
Many thanks
Anya Camilleri

More data to recommend putting statins in the drinking water?
Now we have a new meta-analysis that concluded primary prevention is a good idea. See here for a discussion of that study which reported a reduction in cardio-vascular mortality and all cause mortality in so called low risk patients. On the other hand (clinicians may yearn for the mythical one handed epidemiologist) a large meta-analysis by Dr. K. Ray and colleagues found no benefit in terms of all cause mortality.see here.
A few years ago I felt reasonably confident that I could a)determine a person's cardiac risk with a risk equation and b) advise that person about taking statins to lower his risk. I am much less sure about both those two things now but I still obstinately take pravastatin. In regard to risk equations I said all I can say about that in this several years old post entitled "Individual risk assessment,a peculiar,elusive,ambiguous concept." I would add another modifier, "faith based".
So how good can the risk equations ( yes there are more than one for predicting risk of coronary heart disease events and death ) be when studies perched on the highest rung on the ladder of evidence based medicines give contradictory results?

James, I enjoyed reading your old post from 2007 on the topic of individual risk evaluation.

"More data to recommend putting statins in the drinking water?" Looks like not a good idea. I've read lots of articles about statins and most of them have a detailed information about its side effects. I hope they change their mind with their plans. It's not a good idea. For sure many people will protest with this idea.

I suspect the question mark after the title did not adequately reflect the sarcasm intended.
- Roy M. Poses MD said...
It looks like the latest meta-analysis was deliberately designed not to answer the main question, that is, do statins decrease mortality for patients without known underlying coronary disease? Instead, it was designed to answer a question that probably makes no sense: if a patient with no known coronary disease takes statins, and then has a specific decrease in LDL, does such a patient have a lower risk of mortality? See: http://brodyhooked.blogspot.com/2012/05/statins-in-water-supply-continued-why.html

Thanks for your comments.I was not aware of Dr. Bordy's critique and he certainly raises an important point.When knowledgeable folks poke around inside the details of meta-analysis often the published results seem to be less black and white than the publication's summary indicates.

How to succeed in social networking and collaboration
Enterprise social networking and collaboration efforts come with high failure rates. Here's how to beat the odds.
As pervasive as social collaboration is in employees' personal lives, enterprise-wide social networking and collaboration platforms are still uncommon, and platforms that drive business value are a rarity. That has been the experience of Tony Byrne, president of The Real Story Group, a vendor-independent analyst firm in Silver Spring, Md., which focuses on Web content and social software. CIOs interested in helping their companies layer social collaboration into business processes soon discover making these tools work well is -- as usual -- more about understanding what people need than simply implementing the technology.
In this SearchCIO.com interview on leveraging social networking and collaboration in the enterprise, Byrne discusses the importance of homing in on specific business applications and of getting IT involved in the implementation -- as well as why integration of social tools remains a problem.
Enterprises are littered with the remains of social networking and collaboration software that never gained traction. At companies where these applications work, what's the secret of their success?
Tony Byrne: The organizations I've seen that have been successful focus a lot on very specific business applications that they insert into a business process. And they let people know the value of them. So, it could be social Q&A, which we know can be very useful in mergers and acquisitions. It could be innovation management [what people used to call "ideation"], which is particularly useful in expanding the scope of your research and development outside of your R&D group. It could be around effective knowledge base management, which seems workaday and boring, but in cases like CRM [customer relationship management] can be very important. It could be expertise location, which we know from case studies of very large multinational professional firms can dramatically improve responsiveness to client requests.
And the common mistakes enterprises make?
Byrne: What you don't want to do is drop a social collaboration platform into the enterprise, give it to everybody and expect that you will get all this value out of it. These platforms are a useful service, but they are not actual applications -- they are kind of a helper application. You have to think about the specific ways in which your employees can use this social collaboration application and then customize it for the business. Or, in the case of the more sophisticated platforms, you have to think about how to take this mass of capabilities -- from Wikis, to profiles, to commenting, to instant messaging -- and shape it into specific business applications that solve real business problems.
That's how you deal with the so-called adoption problem. The goal is not adoption; the goal is business value. If you can actually help people in their day-to-day work, they will use the tools.
Who should be involved in using social networking and collaboration to drive value, and how do companies know which applications to leverage?
Byrne: That is one of the big questions of 2012 right now. I have heard a lot of answers and, quite honestly, I am not comfortable with any of them. There are people who say this is transformational; you should have a chief collaboration officer. I am not into that. Businesses don't need another person in the C-suite. I think what you have to do is look at your existing set of leaders and identify ones who have a vested interest in this.
You have to think about the specific ways in which your employees can use this social collaboration application and then customize it for the business.
Tony Byrne,
president, The Real Story Group
People tend to see these sorts of technologies as the anti-ERP and outside the CIO's domain. I think the CIO has a very important role to play, particularly if you are thinking of doing things enterprise-wide. Also, CIOs can act as an honest broker in helping the enterprise figure out which are the highest value applications.
The other person who is really critical, and who I find is getting more and more involved in social networking and collaboration, is the director of HR. As the HR people figure out how to automate the case management stuff they do, they are being asked to do more in terms of workforce development. Collaboration and social networking go hand-in-hand with workforce development, so HR is on the frontlines of this, and often intuitively sees the value of social networking and collaboration. Sales and marketing and R&D are the other clusters where the use of these tools can immediately show value. Getting them involved is a good idea.
We hear the application question a lot from our clients: "How do we build a roadmap of viable, useful applications?" They can't just jump into this because, if they do, they will fail. And it is a different story in different places. But one constant -- and here is where I differ from some gurus in this field -- that I have seen as a key to success is a very supportive and interested IT operation.
How are they supportive? What do these IT teams bring to the table?
Byrne: They are helping lead people through this thicket of buzzwords and confusion. They help sort this out into concrete projects, which IT is generally pretty good at. They see across the organization. They see commonalities. They often are already trying to rationalize these tools; they know they don't want 12 different Wiki platforms. The other interesting thing about IT teams is that very often they have early, successful adopters of these social networking and collaboration tools.

Now the downside is that IT may overestimate their business colleagues' ability to pick up some of these interfaces and play with them and do useful things with them. But I have seen things turn out really well where IT was playing a leadership role, in particular where their approach was not to just stifle interesting things that were happening, but to allow innovation. These are the IT teams that are willing to work with existing projects that may even have started as shadow IT, and to say, "Look, we're not coming in here to impose a solution; we are coming in here to bring specific applications that are going to add value." And that is a whole different conversation.
Is it useful for IT to do research to uncover where some of this activity is going on?
Byrne: Absolutely, that is how it often starts. IT will find these tools being used tactically here and there throughout the enterprise. And sometimes employees will come to them, and say, "How come I can't see this information in X collaboration platform when I am working in Y? Can you integrate these?" And, at that point, businesses realize they need some kind of enterprise strategy. And, by the way, that enterprise strategy usually does include multiple vendors and potentially different silos, but at least you've made a conscious decision to accept that rather than let it happen willy-nilly.
Is it possible at this point to integrate these various systems?
Byrne: With enough time, money and painkillers, yes. But people really underestimate the difficulty in doing this. And the reality is the vendors are not particularly interested in creating really open systems. They have APIs [application program interfaces], where you can extract information out of them, but that is not the same thing as being able to have a services-oriented architecture where I can rip out the present mechanism in one system and replace it with something else. That level of abstraction and interoperability doesn't exist. There are some interesting standards; there are a lot of interesting ways to share information, but it is still an issue.
One of the things we see quite often is what we call the "triple P," or proliferating profile problem. This is when there are multiple different systems within an organization that have decided to let employees have profiles, with their pictures and interests and all of their activities. It is a replica of the same problem that we have in public social media. In an ideal world, there would be a single profile standard and a way to bring all of these activity streams together. But, as you can imagine, vendors are falling all over themselves to say, "We are going to be the profile warehouse for your enterprise. Somebody else can work with us, but we are not going to work with them."
Let us know what you think about the story; email Linda Tucci, News Director.

The formula may have had nothing to do with it, but my litter of 7 puppies all became "chow hounds" who are always hungry and will eat anything–to this
day! And, of course, they were crazy for this formula.
Here's the formula as it was given to me by Catherine Wright who founded the Calkerry line of Kerry Blue Terriers back in the 40s. And by the way, I've
compared it to many other puppy formulas, and it stacks up well nutritionally. It is also the only one I have found with honey.
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 12-ounce (3.5 dl) can evaporated milk (NOT condensed milk!)
- 1/5 can (2.5 ounces or .75 dl) warm water
- 2 tablespoons (3 cl) of honey
- 1 tablespoon (1.5 cl) corn oil*
- 2 drops of Nutri-Pet liquid vitamins (or similar brand) for newborn puppies
*omit if stool is white (which indicates the onset of diarrhea)

Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo benchmarks
DisplayThe scientific display measurements allow us to inspect the quality of this extremely important component in such a great depth that is not possible with the naked eye. Armed with a colorimeter device and some specialized software, we study the various aspects of smartphone and tablet screens, such as their brightness, color temperature, gamma, color gamut and accuracy.
Screen measurementsOur 'Screen measurements' table is like a quick, yet very detailed overview of a display. With just a quick glance, you can discover a great deal of important data, including the maximum brightness, contrast ratio, gamma, color temperature, etc. Hover over each category to learn more about it and what makes it important!

Viewing anglesA high-quality display shouldn't exhibit significant image quality deterioration when viewed at an angle. That is why we find it important to measure each display at an angle of 45 degrees and calculate the percentage by which each aspect (brightness, gamma, etc.) has altered from its normal reading.

Color chartsSometimes, it's easier to get an idea of how good a display is by comparing its measured colors to reference ones. The 'Color accuracy' and 'Greyscale accuracy' charts will give you just that, with the latter providing a visual representation of the color temperature and gamma. The 'Color gamut' chart, on the other hand, will show you just how much of a deviation there is from the colors' reference points.
The CIE 1931 xy color gamut chart represents the set (area) of colors that a display can reproduce, with the sRGB colorspace (the highlighted triangle) serving as reference. The chart also provides a visual representation of a display's color accuracy. The small squares across the boundaries of the triangle are the reference points for the various colors, while the small dots are the actual measurements. Ideally, each dot should be positioned on top of its respective square. The 'x: CIE31' and 'y: CIE31' values in the table below the chart indicate the position of each measurement on the chart. 'Y' shows the luminance (in nits) of each measured color, while 'Target Y' is the desired luminance level for that color. Finally, 'ΔE 2000' is the Delta E value of the measured color. Delta E values of below 2 are ideal.
These measurements are made using Portrait Displays' CalMAN calibration software.
The Color accuracy chart gives an idea of how close a display's measured colors are to their referential values. The first line holds the measured (actual) colors, while the second line holds the reference (target) colors. The closer the actual colors are to the target ones, the better.
These measurements are made using Portrait Displays' CalMAN calibration software.
The Grayscale accuracy chart shows whether a display has a correct white balance (balance between red, green and blue) across different levels of grey (from dark to bright). The closer the Actual colors are to the Target ones, the better.

Performance BenchmarksIf there's one thing smartphone consumers value extremely highly, that's lightning-fast system performance. But how do you tell if a device has the necessary power to carry you through the seas of demanding apps and beyond? The answer is simple - through synthetic benchmarking! Thankfully, there are now tools that are professional enough to give us a good idea about the punch our devices really pack.

Camera SpeedA good camera is the one that's always there when you need it. Quality matters, but so does speed, and that is why we do a series of tests to determine if a smartphone's camera has what it takes to be a reliable tool in your photographic activities. We measure camera speed by running the cross-platform benchmark program CamSpeed, and by performing our own proprietary speed test.

Battery LifeNothing can replace a reliable, long-lasting battery that can easily carry you and your smartphone through at least a day of heavy usage. Of course, you can always get one of those chubby battery cases, but how uncool would that be? Instead, we'd suggest that you take advantage of our battery life ratings, which are based on our own, custom-designed battery test, to see how the phones compare.
We measure battery life by running a custom web-script, designed to replicate the power consumption of typical real-life usage. All devices that go through the test have their displays set at 200-nit brightness.
