Understanding probability information about treatment risks and benefits is a vital component of patients' decision making capacity. This study demonstrates extensive misunderstanding of verbal descriptions of probability by medical inpatients of all ages, questioning the extent of their capacity for giving informed consent. Pictorial descriptions of probability were well understood, suggesting their adoption into clinical practice.

also a paint job is needed to avoid any coming rust specially because i always forget tools on my gerden when it start raining.
very nice, keep it goin'
Thank you for your comment,
The bolt and nut that attaches the handle to the rest of it is stainless steel, there are two lock nuts, one on each side of the handle bolt. The other bolts are just regular steel. I plan to paint it when it warms up outside. I use Rust-o-ileum and because of its contents only spray it outside.
thanks again,
Something I would add would be a wingnut for the "joint" for ease of fastening.

Windhoek — Namibia's Paralympics gold and silver medalist, Johanna Benson, finished in 3rd place after crossing the line in a time of 9.23 seconds at the Glasgow Indoor Grand Prix, in Scotland on Saturday.
The women's T37 60-m race was won by Britain's Katrina Hart who was followed by the 16-year-old Olivia Breen in 2nd place, leaving Benson to pick up the pieces in 3rd place.
National athletics coach Letu Hamholo, who helped train Benson ahead of the Glasgow event, said he was happy with the performance and the finishing time as well, adding that it was Benson's first participation in a 60-m indoor race and finishing 3rd "is encouraging enough".
"Johanna comes from a very long break and still needs a bit of time to recuperate and gain the fitness she had at the London Paralympics. But I'm happy with her time and I also liked her composure during the race. She quickly picked herself up from the starting line and bravely pushed to finish 3rd," said Hamholo.
The winner in the 60-m race pocketed £1500 and the 2nd placed athlete walked away with £1000, while the 3rd placed finisher takes home £500.

Nothing but praise for a clean well equipped apartment everything as described.all our needs met on arrival.When we needed help or assistance Ruthie available really accommodating.10/10
We had a wonderful stay in this apartment. It was roomy and had a beautiful view of San Francisco. It was so close to the pacific ocean, we walked there several times. I would definitely stay her again!
What a wonderful experience we had! Ruthie's home was fantastic and provided everything we needed plus more. It was nice to come "home" to a comfortable, familiar place each night. Many wonderful restaurants, shops, and groceries are nearby and the bus is one block away. The views are beautiful and tourist sites are within walking distance or a short bus ride just out the door. Thank you Ruthie for adding to our adventure in San Francisco!
We absolutely loved our stay at here. The apartment was unbelievably clean and neat, very spacious too. Ruthie left a lot of information of things to do while we're in San Francisco. She also left us directions to nearby restaurants and shops. I definitely plan on staying here again. What an amazing location too. It is better than what the description says. Thank you Ruthie for being available too! :)
I was in town for a week for a vey intense workshop and I must say that I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The description and pictures don't lie. The serene space was beautifully kept with tons of natural light coming in. The location is one of my favorites in the city. And I must say that the bed was so comfortable. In fact so much more then mine at home. I slept like a baby! I highly recommend Ruthie's space to anybody interested. She was very nice and always responded back promptly. I would definitely want to stay here again!
We have had a wonderful time in Ruthie's apartment! It was easy to find and located on a quiet street, a couple of blocks from the parks. Was nice to be away from the busy-ness of the city. The apartment was clean, comfortable bed, soft towels, hot shower and bath and toiletries provided. The kitchen was stocked with essentials that we were really grateful for (e.g butter, milk) and PG TIPS TEA BAGS!!!! I was so happy-as an English girl I was missing my hot tea - Ruthie thank you so much! There was also coffee and herbal teas.
The apartment was exactly as described, it is out of the city but the 38, 38L and 1 buses were easy to find and use, took about 40mins to get into city. I recommend downloading the 511 transit app, it uses your location and intended destination to calculate routes and we found it very helpful.
We really appreciated Ruthie's suggestions e.g. doing the coastal walk and Land's End trail, this is probably a missed gem for visitors staying downtown. The views out to the Pacific and Golden Gate Bridge were breathtaking - and the opportunity to walk down to a sandy cove for a paddle in the Pacific Ocean. There is also a table in the apartment with information books, leaflets and suggestions for attractions, places to visit and eat etc. if you haven't made plans.
We felt Ruthie had added the personal touch to our stay - in hotels you are just the next guest in a list of room occupants, but we really felt that Ruthie had thought about what would be nice touches to make our stay comfortable. We really appreciated the care she has put in to making the apartment a lovely place to stay and feel at home.
Wonderful location. Beautiful and comfortable home. Exactly as shown in the photos. Ruthie kept in contact before and after we arrived to make sure everything was find. Lots of wonderful maps and brochures to look over in the home, very helpful.

Springfield, NJ (PRWEB) September 28, 2011
Gruskin Group™, one of the nation's leading design firms, has been awarded the project to design a new, mixed-use building for Kean University in Union, NJ. The proposed 102,275-square-foot building will serve as a gateway marking the main entrance to Kean's campus located at the intersection of Morris Avenue and Green Lane.
The six-story building, which is intended to provide both a stimulating and metaphorical environment for learning, includes a café and retail space on the first floor, classroom and administration space on floors two through five, and a conference center and rooftop terrace on the sixth floor. The building will serve as the home for Kean's new Robert Busch School of Design, as well as the University's expanding business programs.
"Our objective for this new building is to make a bold architectural statement and announce to visitors and the general public that they are about to experience something unique upon entering the campus. At the same time, the building design must establish the tone and quality of what can be expected beyond its demarcation as the University's primary entry portal," explained Kenneth A. Gruskin, principal and founder of Gruskin Group.
Among the building's most distinctive and modern design elements is its undulating glass building façade which stands in contrast to three opaque towers that not only serve a practical function, but also align with the three local geometries that define Kean's campus. For example, Gruskin Group designed the towers to house elevators, fire stairs, and bathrooms. In addition, the tower along Morris Avenue aligns with the grid that defines the primary road systems and the original Kean structures. The second tower defines the academic building's main entrance and follows the geometry of the main Kean University campus. The third tower's vertical plane faces the University's athletic fields and facilities.
"By responding to the local framework of the campus and city, the building is able to serve not only as a gateway building, but also as a critical part of the larger whole," noted Gruskin.
Among Gruskin Group's other planned features for the building are:
Kean University President Dawood Y. Farahi said: "Kean University is dedicated to the intellectual, cultural and personal growth of its students, faculty and professional staff alike. In particular, we are committed to preparing our students to think critically, creatively and globally. Gruskin Group's vision for the building's design is a compelling one that reflects these values."
About Gruskin Group™
Gruskin Group™ is an integrated design firm that builds unified brand experiences through architecture, brand development, visual communications, web/interactive, industrial design, interior design, strategic consulting, and sustainable design.
Named among the nation's top 250 architecture firms by Architectural Record in 2011, Gruskin Group has also been ranked by DDi magazine as one of the top 20 retail design firms in the U.S. for the past three years, and included in Commercial Construction Magazine's 2010 and 2011 lists of Top Commercial Architects.

Watchful waiting for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children with acute otitis media (WATCH) trial is a research project which aims to investigate appropriate treatment strategies for ear infections in Indigenous children in metropolitan areas to decrease their risk of developing chronic complications.
The WATCH trial will involve 500 children who have acute otitis media from 6 city-based Aboriginal Medical Services in New South Wales, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory. Each child in the study will either receive the 'watchful waiting' treatment technique (careful monitoring of the ear condition by a health professional with no antibiotics) or immediate antibiotic treatment. The effectiveness of each treatment technique will be evaluated based on follow up health centre visits and telephone surveys.

SIX people a day have parts of their fingers amputated in Britain after trapping them between a door and the door jamb. Most of the victims are children. Now a British inventor has a developed an unobtrusive plastic strip that seals off the gaps between doors and jambs in houses so that even the most determined child cannot poke a finger into the hole.
Steve Webb, a product designer, started work on the device three years ago after his daughter Emma, then 18 months old, trapped her fingers for the second time in a fortnight. "It was a horrific trauma the first time, but when she did it again, I was livid," says Webb.
Unable to find any suitable ready-made solutions, he tackled the problem himself. He says that every year the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents receives more than 30 000 reports of people trapping their fingers ...

Posts Tagged eating disorders
Although there's no one surefire way to prevent eating disorders, these tips on Parents.com can help.click to comment
The following review is written by the wonderful Erika Breitfeller who interned for me in late June, 2011.
The Slender Trap: A Food and Body Workbook is an interactive manual that addresses both eating disorders and body-image issues. Written by author Lauren Lazar Stern, MA, ATR-BC, LPC, a board-certified art therapist and a licensed professional counselor, the book is interactive and extremely well written. The format of the book and its layout are easy to follow and convey a strong sense of support for readers throughout each section.
The book is broken down into an introduction followed by chapters on different topics with titles such as "Why I think I'm Fat," and "The Diet and Exercise Traps." The introduction is informative and factual and gives the reader an idea of the purpose of the workbook, and the workings and defining elements of expressive arts used to help readers who suffer from an eating disorder. I appreciate the sequence of chapters and how they're broken down; they start with some basics and slowly upgrade to more difficult topics readers can reflect on. Each chapter includes clever exercises that appropriately pertain to the topic being discussed. The author also includes a section after each exercise titled 'Process with Me,' which enables readers to reflect on how she feels while doing the exercise. The only criticism I have about this processing section was categorizing feelings using a thermometer analogy. The author utilized a temperature scale to process readers' moods after doing the exercise that to me could be misleading or confusing to some. I really enjoyed the personal testimonials from real women who were willing to share their experiences with eating disorders and body image issues. These testimonials make it that much more apparent that readers are not alone.
The author suggests The Slender Trap to those who are overwhelmed by what to eat or not to eat, or by how they look. I whole-heartedly agree with Ms. Stern that this book is a great read for any woman at any age who suffers from an eating disorder or some form of disordered eating or who has a distorted self-image. Reading this workbook can surely be an eye-opening experience, especially for those who may not have seen their eating habits and obsessions as a concern. The book reassures readers that many women feel the same way they do, and guides them towards confronting issues appropriately. At the very least, reading The Slender Trap can open doors for women and hopefully help them begin to tackle their issues and start the healing process.
Are you stuck in the slender trap? Or what has helped you get out of one?

Teen girls and young women everywhere have something to celebrate. Two new books are just what this dietitian has ordered to help you (or someone you know) feel better about the skin you're in, get sane about food, and nourish your body.
This week's blog highlights one of the book-- a great one called Food: The Good Girl's Drug: How to Stop Using Food to Control Your Feelings by Sunny Sea Gold, deputy editor at Redbook magazine and founder of HealthyGirl.org, a support site for girls and women who emotionally overeat, binge eat, or yo-yo diet. Sunny and I first met about 6 years ago when I was a contributing editor for Seventeen magazine. Having overcome a 15-year battle with binge-eating disorder, Sunny has bared all in her book, revealing her personal struggles, and rounding up advice from top experts to help young women everywhere know they're not alone, and that, they too, can overcome their food demons.
Through sharing her own story and those of others who have suffered with binge eating disorder, Sunny helps teen girls and young women identify the causes of their disorder, recognize and understand their eating problems, and relearn how to use food as fuel instead of using it to soothe their feelings.
The book is divided into three parts:
Part 1: Understanding What's Going on Between You and Food
Part 2: Let the Healing Begin: How to Start Getting Sane About Food
Part 3: Living Your Life Without Relying on the Good Girl's Drug
Helpful exercises that encourage readers to ponder their irrational thoughts, start a food and hunger journal, and track negative body thoughts are sprinkled throughout the book to help readers identify what the real problem is and how to work towards making healthful changes in their attitudes and behaviors that relate to food and their bodies.
Food: The Good Girl's Drug ends with a helpful resource list that includes information about support groups, books, reputable online resources, and eating disorder treatment centers.
As a registered dietitian who works with women and children, I find Sunny's book to be an invaluable resource and think it can be an extremely useful tool to help young women realize they're not alone when it comes to food, body, and self-esteem struggles. Readers will likely feel they don't need to surrender to their struggles and that, like Sunny and so many others, they too can get more sane about food, feel better about themselves and the bodies they live in, and have a more healthful, balanced, and fulfilled life.
In next week's blog (Part Two), you'll learn about another book designed to help younger girls overcome their diet dramas, so stay tuned!

PET owners who try to beat Britain's quarantine regulations by smuggling their loved ones through the Channel Tunnel could be in for a shock. The police are testing a device that can detect the heartbeat of an animal even when it is concealed inside a vehicle.
The detector contains a very sensitive microphone and a computer algorithm that picks out the sound of a heartbeat from background noise. It was developed by Lockheed Martin Energy Systems at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where it was originally used to catch people trying to get into the lab by hiding in lorries. Lockheed Martin has since sold several of the $50 000 detectors to prisons to prevent escapes.
"It can detect a millionth of an inch movement. The beating heart actually moves the vehicle in time with the heartbeat," says Leo Labaj, head of Lockheed's special projects office. ...

HSBC to pay $1.92 billion to settle case
Chronicle News Services | December 11, 2012 | Updated: December 11, 2012 10:20pm
Photo By Spencer Platt/Getty ImagesDelta Air Lines' stake in Virgin Atlantic will up its share of the lucrative trans-Atlantic travel market.
Photo By Scott Olson/AFP/Getty Images(FILES) This November 30, 2010 file photo shows a sign marking the location of the Groupon headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. On June 29, 2011 the Indian subsidiary of online deals giant Groupon has accidentally published email addresses and passwords from its subscriber database, the company and reports said. Groupon said in a statement sent to AFP that it "was alerted to a security issue" affecting its Sosasta.com subsidiary on June 24 and that it "corrected the problem immediately."

The US Treasury said December 11, 2012 it had sold off all of its remaining shares in insurer AIG, four years after the government laid out $182 billion to rescue the company in the financial crisis. The Treasury said it earned $7.6 billion on the sale of its final 234 million shares, taking the government's net profit on the AIG bailout to $22.7 billion.

HSBC to pay $1.92 billion
HSBC Holdings, Europe's largest bank, has agreed to pay $1.92 billion to settle U.S. probes of money laundering in the largest such accord ever.
The settlement, announced Tuesday, includes a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, the London bank said. The United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority said the bank will have to employ an independent monitor to oversee compliance with antimoney-laundering requirements.
HSBC has been in talks with U.S. regulators over allegations it laundered funds of sanctioned nations including Iran and Sudan, prompting Standard & Poor's to question whether the lender is too big to be managed effectively.
Keystone XL work halts
TransCanada Corp. must temporarily stop work on part of its Keystone XL pipeline while a Texas judge evaluates a landowner's challenge that the line can only be used for crude oil and not bitumen obtained from Canadian tar sands.
Michael Bishop, who granted TransCanada an easement across his property in Nacogdoches County, obtained a temporary restraining order from Texas state court Judge Jack Sinz. The order blocks the company from working on Bishop's property for two weeks while allowing work on other sections of the pipeline to proceed.
TransCanada, based in Calgary, Alberta, has been battling landowners and environmental groups at multiple sites along the southernmost leg of its 2,151-mile pipeline between western Canada and the Texas gulf coast.
So far, none of the legal challenges has permanently halted construction work on the pipeline.
U.S. gains from bailout of AIG
Four years after a bailout that fueled resentment against Wall Street, American International Group's rescue has come to an end with the U.S. government raising $7.6 billion in its final offering of the insurer's shares.
The Treasury Department is selling 234.2 million shares at $32.50 each in the sixth offering since the 2008 rescue. The proceeds boost the U.S. profit on the rescue that began in 2008 to $22.7 billion, according to the Treasury Department, which injected capital through the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
The cost of the 2008 bailout swelled to $182.3 billion. AIG stock has gained more than 45 percent this year.
Job openings hit 4-month high
U.S. job openings rose to a four-month high in October, showing companies kept expanding in the face of looming tax increases and budget cuts.
The number of positions waiting to be filled rose by 128,000 to 3.68 million from the prior month, the Labor Department said Tuesday. The trade deficit widened as exports slumped the most in four years, other figures showed.
More openings lay the groundwork for the accelerated job growth needed to bolster consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of economic activity. Employment gains so far have failed to satisfy Federal Reserve policymakers, who are meeting this week to consider further easing to spur the economy.
Delta to buy stake in Virgin
Delta Air Lines has agreed to buy a 49 percent stake in Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd. for $360 million to boost its share of the lucrative trans-Atlantic travel market.
The carriers will begin a joint venture on 31 daily round-trip flights between North America and the United Kingdom, using Virgin Atlantic's base at London's Heathrow airport. The Virgin Atlantic stake has been held by Singapore Airlines since 1999.
The deal positions Delta and Virgin Atlantic to grab a bigger slice of flights across the North Atlantic, the world's richest lode of premium passengers.

UASIN Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago has signed new laws to regulate alcohol brewing and consumption in the county. The county assembly last week passed the new laws banning operations of bars located near schools and hospitals in Eldoret town.
"That is the law now. We can not even change anything from what was passed by the assembly and I have already endorsed the new laws," Mandago said.
He was speaking to the press at Kipkenyo in Eldoret yesterday. Mandago said the problem of alcoholism among youth in the region is worsening and should be tackled through the new regulations.
"The government is now investing alot in youth programmes. There are so many jobs coming up and if the youth are dunkards who will do those jobs?", he said.
Mandago said the new laws were discused extensively by the county assembly. He said the executive will partner will the assembly to educate residents on the new laws.
Under the new laws no bar will be allowed to operate within the distance of one kilometer from education institutions or medical facilities in the county.
County Speaker Isaac Terer said the new laws ban the sale of alcohol in plastic satchets in the county.
"It will no longer be allowed to have traders operating bars or selling alcohol near education institutions or hospitals. This will help to curb influx of alcohol into the education institutions to be abused by the youth," he said,.
Terer was speaking to the press in his office in Eldoret yesterday. He said the pubs operating near hospitals are a nuisance because of loud music. Terer said the county administration in the region will implement the new regulations.

Wednesday, February 5, 2014
The U.S. Forest Service needs volunteers from across the state to fill vacancies on the Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests Resource Advisory Committee (FMS RAC).
The FMS RAC oversees spending of Title II funds under the Secure Rural Schools Act in Berkeley, Newberry or Union counties.
The FMS RAC works closely with the U.S. Forest Service and county officials to recommend projects that will benefit forest health, fish, wildlife, soils, watersheds and other resources; maintain roads, trails and other infrastructure; or control noxious weeds.
I cannot emphasize enough the important work that the FMS RAC does for the local communities that surround our national forests, said Rick Lint, forest supervisor for the Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests.
The time commitment for each RAC member is small, but the impacts can be great and extremely rewarding.
Nominees are needed for the following categories:
Category A
Organized labor or non-timber forest products harvester;
Replacement (can be outdoor recreation, energy and mineral development, fishing group, commercial timber industry, non-timber forest products harvester);
Developed outdoor recreation, off-highway vehicle users or commercial recreation activities; or
Commercial timber industry.
Category B
Archaeological and historical interest;
Replacement (historic interest, environmental group, dispersed recreation group, wildlife group, hunting group or watershed association);
Nationally recognized environmental organization; or
Nationally or regionally recognized wild horse or burro interest, wildlife or hunting organization, or watershed association.
Category C
Replacement (state-elected official or designee, county or local elected official or designee, public at large, school official or teacher, American Indian tribe);
Hold state-elected office; or
American Indian tribe(s).
This is a really great opportunity for people to be involved in the management of the Francis Marion & Sumter National Forests, said Lint. Were hoping to get a diverse group of nominees to send to the Secretary of Agriculture for his review.
The application form AD-755 is available at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/scnfs/AD755/.
Interested candidates must submit their application by Feb. 28, 2014 to:
Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests, Attn: FMS RAC, 4931 Broad River Road Columbia, S.C. 29212.

Last month, we gave you an up-close look at World Products' new LS1X "Warhawk" cylinder heads, then bolted a lightly ported preproduction set onto on a largely stock '02 Z06. To optimize the new heads' performance potential, VMax Motorsports and installer/tuner Real Performance Motorsports (RPM) supplemented them with an intake/exhaust package comprising Kooks headers, a rowdy Comp camshaft, and a FAST intake manifold with a ported LS2 throttle body.
This time around, we'll dyno-test the combo to see how it fares in the area of real-world power generation. Follow along to see if this latest combatant in the LS cylinder-head wars truly lives up to its martial moniker.
On The Dyno
When the Z06 finished shrieking on the chassis dyno, and the final tune was completed, it was clear the C5 had been transformed into a small-cube monster. Maximum rear-wheel horsepower came out to 461.6 at 6,500 rpm, while torque registered 398.5 at 5,400. Clearly, with such an aggressive cam in the smallish LS6, the combination was set up to make big power up top. And since the peak horsepower number came at an owner-mandated rpm limit of 6,500, it's entirely possible that revving the engine 200 rpm higher would have yielded over 470 rwhp.
More important than the peak gains of 115.0 rwhp and 56.5 lb-ft were the improvements recorded over the duration of the pull. On average, the new combo exceeded the stock configuration by 60.3 hp and 53.9 lb-ft. Even more impressive, torque exceeded 370 lb-ft for the entire run. With its broad, flat torque curve and vicious high-rpm pull, this is an engine that should excel in any driving environment, be it on the street or at the track.
"The test was a success, both from a power perspective and, ultimately, for the end user," comments VMax's Pete Incaudo. "World's final product is very similar to what we tested here, with the major difference being the spring/valve package. [Production LS1X heads use Manley units, whereas our test units were equipped with REVs.] As a World Products dealer, we can provide customers with any of the finished World packages or work with them to create a custom package to meet their horsepower goals."
"The transformation from a stock Z06 to a heads/cam configuration was amazing," says car owner Kevin Turner. "Compared with my 500-rwhp '99 Firehawk, the Z06 with the World heads feels very similar in overall power and has tremendous pull through both the midrange and up top. Even with the big cam, the car starts right up, idles fine, and can be driven anywhere without fear. The amount of time that [RPM's] Brian Lohse spent tuning it to achieve the best overall combination of torque, horsepower, and driveability shows."
"The most impressive part of the test was the midrange punch that the engine put out," Lohse says. "Given that the heads are designed for the street, I have no doubt that World or VMax will develop a CNC-porting program capable of making over 500 rwhp on small-cube combinations and exceeding 600 horses on stroker motors. Although more power could have been gener-ated with a slightly leaner air/fuel ratio, the customer requested a tune with an AFR in the mid-11s to keep cylinder temperatures down, in the event he decides to road-race the car."
Overall, our test proved that the LS1X Warhawks are legitimate contenders in the aftermarket LS head market, matching up favorably with some of the best castings currently available. With the recent release of its LS7X heads for big-cube applications, World Products now appears ready to wage battle on all fronts.
Dyno Results
Testing was performed at Real Performance Motorsports in Lewisville, Texas, using a Dynojet Model 248C dyno optioned with a Commander wide-band 02 sensor. Pulls were made between 3,200 and 6,200 rpm for the baseline test and between 3,200 and 6,500 rpm for the follow-up test.

University of New Mexico sophomore Devonta Tabannah will rejoin the football team next week, coach Bob Davie announced Wednesday.
Tabannah, a cornerback, was suspended for a violation of team rules on Aug. 27. He will rejoin the team Monday when it prepares for the Sept. 15 game at Texas Tech. In late August, Tabannah was arrested and charged with driving under the influence.
"My decision to reinstate Devonta is based on research of similar circumstances and suspensions involving other student-athletes around the country, as well as the manner in which Devonta has handled his mistake," Davie said.
"Hopefully, he will take advantage of his second chance and others can learn from his mistake."
Tabannah has agreed not to operate a motor vehicle until January 2013 as part of his penalty.

The residential housing association recently held a BBQ pork rib contest. The rules were that RHA would provide the ribs, but ribs had to be cooked on campus. Contestants also had to provide 2 sides and bread was not considered a side. RHA did not have a hard time finding judges for this event. Volunteers were RHA president, Martavian Beall, RA Brandon Veasy and resident, Christopher Walton. Once the winner was decided the ribs and sides were enjoyed by all that were present.
Congratulations went out to the winner Benjamin Luke Smith and his crew for winning the RHA BBQ pork ribs contest.

GMAT vs GRE
What are the tests and what are the components of each?
The GMAT or Graduate Management Admission Test is a standardized and computerized test used in the selection criteria of more than 1500 institutions of higher learning located in many different countries. The GMAT is divided into four parts – quantitative, verbal, integrated reasoning, and an analytical writing section.
The GRE or Graduate Record Examination is used as in admission selection criteria for many graduate schools in the United States and in other English-speaking countries or where English is used as the teaching language. The GRE is divided into six sections – an analytical writing section, two verbal sections, two quantitative reasoning sections, and either an experimental or research section.
Many business schools use the GMAT as selection criteria into their MBA, Master of Accountancy, and Master of Finance programs. How each institution uses the GRE varies widely and there is even variation among departments within the same institution. For example, if one is applying to the liberal arts school in a university, the verbal components of the test might only be considered or carry much more weight. Some schools only use the GRE as a formality for admission requirements.
The answer varies on a case by case basis. First of all, you should check the admission requirements at the schools to which you are applying. If they require or prefer one test over the other then your decision is made. Most business schools prefer or require the GMAT, but many will accept the GRE as well. If you are going the liberal arts route then the GRE is probably required.
If you do have a choice, it might be a bit easier to score well on the GRE, but a lot depends on personal preference and strengths. For example, the GRE verbal is based more on vocabulary while the GMAT verbal is more grammar, reasoning and logic based. The GRE math focuses on number problems while the GMAT math is more word problem based.
Other considerations are cost and availability. The GMAT is more expensive while the GRE is offered in more test locations worldwide. Plus you should consider test timing because there might be a conflict between the test date and the due date for submitting your school application.
One important caveat: even though a business school might accept the GRE as an alternative to the GMAT they might PREFER the GMAT, and this preference might not be stated anywhere. The reason for this is that most business school applicants take the GMAT, and in order to be seriously considered and compared a GMAT score is needed. All that being said there seems to be a general trend among business schools in accepting the GRE as a viable and equal option.

Plum Jam
It is almost the end of summer, and if by any chance you happen to have a fruit tree in your backyard or in your garden, this is probably the exact and perfect moment to collect all of its ripe fruit. The memories from my youth regarding the wild plum trees that grow in my parents' garden are unforgettable; no, I will never forget how much my father busted my balls every damn August to have me pick up all the fruit that I could. I had to collect plums from the ground, I had to shake the tree, and collect more plums from the ground, I had to climb the tree without braking any branches and fill several plastic grocery bags with ripe fruit. I would get sticky, sweaty, bored and pissed! Now that I think about it, moments like that helped me develop my cursing skills: left alone for hours at the time in the field, surrounded by flies and bees feasting on the juices, the dog jumping trying to grab my feet (or simply eat me off the tree), I would loudly express my deep disappointment for what I was convinced being nothing more that a variation of under-age-child-labor. Eventually, at the end of my rant, I would have picked a few tens of pounds of purple wild plums, I would have earned the despise of a few Saints, but also at least, I would have granted myself a somewhat unlimited number of plum-jam treats, from that moment until most likely the following summer.
Now, a few decades later, I regard those moments as very important lessons about life, nature and family… and cursing.
I cherish the memories of finally entering the kitchen with my load of fruit; my mother would be waiting for me with a nice snack, maybe some cookies and a glass of cold milk or some watermelon, the place would be clean like a surgery room, and a pile of gigantic pots would be sitting on the stove; time to wash and pit!
After a time out of a few minutes in fact, still with cookie crumbs stuck to my cheeks, I would step up onto my stool in front of the kitchen sink, my mom on the left so I could see her knife, the old Hitachi radio blabbing in the background (never, ever, ever put a TV in the kitchen!), and together we would wash and pit every single plum that deserved entering the pot. And for the next few hours, life would revolve around the kitchen, the pots boiling and bubbling on the stove would be the main feature of the whole house: everybody, sooner or later, would eventually make a few "passes", spoon at hand, in front of the stove.
So, because tradition to me is very important, I felt entitled to enslave my kids for a few hours during our latest trip to Fiesole,
and have them collect as much fruit as they could. Debi and I then spent the rest of the day in the kitchen with my mom, for me to dust off my memories, and for the wife to get going with this very important yearly celebration.
Get your kids and go pick up some fruit, or take a stroll through your local farmer's market, make a party out of it, and prepare for winter: a very few things can be better than a fresh jam tart, warm out of the oven, and your favorite pair of house socks in the cold months.
Wash and pit only the ripe fruit. Avoid using fruit that is not ready, as it will raise the acidity level of the jam. Eat the fruit that just calls for it... Nobody expects you to spend hours working without delighting yourself with some fresh, sweet bites. You also have a bottle of grappa at hand, be smart and make the best of it.
Start cooking the fruit on a medium heat, just for the juices to start spill out and the pieces to settle in the pot then, when it starts boiling add the sugar, lower the flame a bit and stir well. Make sure not to burn the fruit on the bottom of the pot, it will add an undesired bitter taste that might upset you.
Cook for about three hours (the timing largely depends on the kind of fruit), or until the desired thickness is reached. Jam should not be runny, and should not be thick, you can though exercise the right of choosing the way you like it (we cooked ours for over 4 hours). If you are worried about the sugar content, start with a smaller proportion, maybe 1 against 1 1/2, and if you'd like you can doctor the jam up while getting to the end of its cooking time.
When the jam is ready, let it sit for a while, let's say about 1 hour, stirring often to facilitate the cooling process, then start filling up the glass jars. Do not fill the jars to the top, since you will have to cover the jam with the grappa; not too much is necessary, but enough to cover completely the fruit and function as your preservative. Cover the mouth of the jar with Saran Wrap and tightly close the cap. Store in a cool, dark place like a basement or a wine cellar.
When ready to eat, just pop the cap and with a spoon, stir the grappa into the jam, this will help soften the fruit that might have been sitting still for a while. Well done, now go bake a tart, or just spread it on a slice of bread, or dilute in a non stick pan with some rum or cognac, reduce, and pour over some vanilla ice cream.
Buon Appetito
Debi and Gabriele

NEW YORK -- Next spring's fashion trends have been established and they are pretty. That may sound like good news to the average woman, but to the fashionistas trailing the designer shows here and abroad over the past several weeks, pretty is a damning adjective.
What the style mavens want is innovation, edge and shock. What they are getting are replays of the same feminine notes. Those clear notes, however, will make it easy for women to follow fashion into next spring.

Yes thats right, a Tyra Banks sex tape rumor has been running rampid over the internet. To download and watch Tyra in very hardcore action. Sounds like a ton of fun.

Ado-Ekiti — Former President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday visited the State House Abuja where he worshiped at the Aso Chapel together with President Goodluck Jonathan.
Obasanjo's visit came at a time of heightened tension between his loyalists and those of President Jonathan over perceived rift between the two leaders. But the former President stormed the presidential villa Sunday in company of two of his children and billionaire Femi Otedola.
A source present at the chapel said Obasanjo read the second lesson of the service and led a prayer session.
The sources said at the end of the service, Obasanjo visited the Children's Church in company of Jonathan where he offered prayers for the children.
Obasanjo later followed Jonathan to the official residence of the president where they had lunch together before the former leader left the villa.

AUGUSTA, Ga. --- Four people are behind bars after two meth busts in Augusta. The first happened at 1914 Starnes Street, and just an hour later there was another bust at 923 Holden Street.
At the Starnes Street bust, authorities found a small lab inside the house and boxes filled with meth. Michael Carroll was arrested in that bust for trafficking, possession and manufacturing; and Jonathan Carroll was arrested for disorderly conduct.
At the Holden Street, a tip led deputies to a house where 42-year-old Holly Evans and 37-year-old Harry Harrell were allegedly found inside "cooking" the meth at a fireplace.
Authorities are still in the process of investigating, but say they do believe there was also some drug dealing at the home on Holden Street.
Investigators are looking into whether there is a connection between the two busts.

In a week Steve Grand went from being an unknown to the latest viral celebrity after uploading his first music video, "All-American Boy," to YouTube.
The song, a country-tinged pop-rock ballad, could have easily gone unnoticed as just another innocuous love song from an aspiring singer.
But Grand, who effortlessly oozes All-American boy appeal (dashing good looks, plenty of muscle, boy-next-door charm), turned heads for singing his tale of sweet, unrequited love -- for another man.
TIMELINE: Summer's must see concerts
The 23-year-old singer-songwriter doesn't have a label, manager, agent or publicist to back him, which makes amassing more than 1.2 million views in 10 days (he uploaded the video on July 2) an impressive feat.
"This is all very grass-roots. All I did was upload the song on YouTube and share it on Facebook. It got around pretty quickly," Grand said by phone from Chicago, apologizing for sounding tired due to lack of sleep after a whirlwind of press interviews.
"[I thought] if it's good, it'll make the rounds," he continued. "If it's not good, it won't and I'll try something different."
It made the rounds, and beyond ...
In the music video Grand is longing for a close male friend. They share a night of tender moments – stolen glances, affectionate touching, skinny dipping – that lead to a quick kiss. But Grand's pal, despite perceived flirtations, is straight and returns to a girlfriend.
"He smiles, his arms around her / But his eyes are holdin' me, just a captive to his wonder," he sings.
The clip is raw and a heartbreaking tale of love that surpasses sexual orientation -- though it's a story that countless gay men can likely connect with.
RELATED: Best albums of 2013 so far | Randall Roberts
Grand financed the video himself, even maxing out a credit card in the process. "I took everything I had, and everything I didn't have, and made this video with that. There was no Plan B," he said. "There was no going back."
The video, which despite its polished look only cost $7,000, caught the attention of major outlets like BuzzFeed, Huffington Post, the Associated Press, Billboard, Slate and ABC's "Good Morning America," which interviewed the singer.
Most outlets have championed Grand as a "gay country star" – a label he's only partially OK with.
"I actually didn't set out to write a country song," he said. "I'm not really concerned with labels, honestly. I was really surprised when I saw I was being labeled as a a 'gay country star' and people saying I was the first."
"There have been people that have done it before, and I certainly don't want to take anything away from them. It's not important to me whether I'm the first or not," he continued. "I just wanted to create something really beautiful that resonated with people all over the world. The song has done all I could ask for."
While Grand isn't the first openly gay singer out there, his country-tinged song is widely gaining traction for its groundbreaking potential in a genre that has been particularly shy about breaking gay acts.
When country singer Chely Wright came out in 2010 atop a tidal wave of publicity that included a high-profile magazine cover, talk show blitz, memoir and album, her album sales dropped by as much as 50%.
