Reviews of Oakmont East Nursing Center
Tim33 July 29, 2015
I am a friend or relative of a resident
I have a great aunt and an uncle at Oakmont East Nursing Center, and I wasn't pleased with them because I don't think they are receiving adequate care. You have one nursing assistant for about 7 or 8 different people. They didn't get the proper care that they needed.

I am a friend or relative of a resident
Neither I nor my family were impressed with Oakmont Assisted Living. When we went to visit my grandmother the facility was not clean, my grandmother's bed pan had not been cleaned, and her breakfast was still on her bed side table at noon. When my family went to talk to the director, all he had to offer us was the fact that "They had very limited staff." My grandmother was not receiving the full attention and care that she needed to be receiving on our first visit. We came back the next day and things were much better. My family took turns visiting every day for the next few months and things seemed to be better. Even though the facility had gotten better, my family made the unanimous decision to bring my grandmother home where we knew she would always be well taken care of. This is my only experience with an assisted living facility, but it was not the best.

Easy to Roll Joint
"This category is about something that everyone is doing… we are doing it, you are doing it, everyone is making their own Stoner Schematics. Wait! You might be asking yourself, what in the hell is this… Stoner Schematic? Well I am glad that you subconsciously reached into your head and spat out a question such as this for us. Stoner Schematics are Stoner's ('hence the name') Schematics (blueprints, instructions, whatever your vernacular…). It is what the Stoner creates, be it canabutter, some crazy rolling technique, or even just a great way to blow smoke… that is a Stoner Schematic."
——–> Got suggestions for schematics? E-mail Pistachio or E-mail Dignan
I think the art of joint rolling is a lot like origami in a sense that… I can't do it very well. Also, they both allow for people to use their creativity to make true masterpieces. For those of us who are not exactly the best at these "paper" arts, we have to resort to other methods. So, I have created a way that any toker can use to be just as good as the average roller. I dub this one: The Easy J.
Now I am sure there are people out there who have used a similar method to this one, but I really saw a need to put the steps down for reference. For my materials all you will need is: some type of plant matter (a grinder is nice here), a pencil / pen / or similar object (Allen wrenches work well, anything will suffice), something to create a filter (cardboard off of a paper box is more common but here I have organic rolling tips), and finally papers of your choice.

I don't know how, but accomplished Microsoft sleuth WalkingCat (@h0x0d) has uncovered a not-ready-for-prime-time Web page that's loaded with marketing-level information about extensions in Microsoft Edge. Microsoft pulled the page immediately, but @h0x0d posted screenshots and -- more spectacularly -- (presumably pilfered) sample code for two industrial-strength Edge extensions.
If the pilfered code actually works with a forthcoming version of Edge, Windows 10 fans have some much-needed good news.
You can see the screenshot posted on @h0x0d's original tweet. It's a page apparently directed at developers who are part of the Windows 10 Technical Preview. The teaser starts:
Extensions are here! Beginning with Build XXXXX in Windows 10 Technical Preview, a selection of extensions are available for Microsoft Edge… Maybe some text here about new extensions coming in future updates, and how you can get started on writing your own?
There are buttons for downloading extensions, and for the API documentation.
Scrolling further down the page, two sample extensions are on offer. One creates a Pinterest "Pin It" button. The other connects to the Reddit Enhancement Suite, a multipurpose search engine for Reddit.
@h0x0d had the presence of mind (and the time) to download both of those sample extensions and post them on the Mega site at Pin It Button and RES. They're full-fledged (possibly working?) extensions, not "Hello, World!" examples or stubbed-off placeholders. I've had a chance to download and look at both, and I'm stunned -- really, stunned -- at how much they look like Chrome extensions. @h0x0d had this to say:
Comparing Edge version vs. Chrome version of same extension, basically substitute "chrome" with "msBrowser", add few minor changes, done.
Of course the devil's in the details, but if Edge can reliably use Chrome extensions with minor mods, we may suddenly be looking at a whole new browser ballgame.
If they can only get the old security bugs worked out.

my mom started filing for me at age 17 and now the process has reached the point for im awaiting my visa date. but i turned 18 a few months ago. my question is, since the filing age usually freezes, will i get us citizenship because my mother is american? or the filing age is not used, but the current age is? please someone who knows can u tell me?
Most Helpful Guy
Was your Mother born here? Were you born here?
If your mother was not born here, went through the process of becoming an American citizen & you weren't born here you too must go through the process. If you were born here & have a birth certificate from an American hospital you are an American citizen.
That's how a lot of people have dual citizenship. Mother/Father born in the US or Mother/Father born elsewhere.
As far as I know 18 (if you were born here) is when you can sponsor a parent sibling to become a US citizen.
Either way you're safe. I'm sure a citizenship is the better choice but a green card works well to.11|00|0

Why Reflexology?
Let's put it simply- 3 reasons why you should try Reflexology
You've never thought of going for a reflexology treatment, in fact you're not sure why you would have one or what to expect……
Here are 3 reasons you might like to try a session……
For pure relaxation and stress relief:
Do you find that you are busy at home, busy at work and generally don't have time to stop properly and relax? You may feel fine now but prolonged periods of stress can end up affecting your health and wellbeing. A reflexology session would give you an hour's worth of relaxation and quiet time all to yourself, enabling your mind and body to take a breather, phew! Clients find the treatment itself deeply relaxing, some fall asleep and many report a feeling of deep relaxation and a sense of calmness that lasts after the session.
You feel out of sorts and not quite right somehow:
You're not ill but you just don't feel right somehow and you can't put your finger on what is wrong. A reflexologist will gently massage all the reflex points on both of your feet, which will help stimulate the blood flow, boost circulation and eliminate toxins and
waste. One treatment or a course of treatments can be enough to rectify what was not feeling quite right and help prevent a more serious health concern.
You have a specific health issue you want some help with:
You have a specific health problem that you want improved or resolved. You may have already tried other therapies, or you may be under the care of your Doctor but so far you haven't found an improvement to the problem or know more could be done to help. By stimulating the specific reflexes and focusing on your particular problem a reflexologist maybe able to help alleviate your condition. By undertaking a full health & lifestyle consultation a practitioner really focuses their treatment on your specific needs, aiming to improve your condition as quickly as possible.
So, whether you are in need of some you time, feel out of sorts or have a specific health problem reflexology maybe a therapy for you to try.

Posted 3 years ago
Facebook, taking keen note of their prior success in the gaming space, has made a move that will keep them on the cutting edge in terms of gaming, and in the process, satisfy their game-playing members thirst for new games to entertain them.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a press release "Mobile is the platform of today, and now we're also getting ready for the platforms of tomorrow." He added "Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play and communicate."
Brendan Iribe, co-founder and CEO of Oculus VR said "We are excited to work with Mark and the Facebook team to deliver the very best virtual reality platform in the world." He added "We believe virtual reality will be heavily defined by social experiences that connect people in magical, new ways. It is a transformative and disruptive technology, that enables the world to experience the impossible, and it's only just the beginning."
Facebook is hoping to finalize and close the deal sometime during the second quarter.
Oculus, already quite popular, having received 75,000 orders for their virtual reality headset, are sure to see their popularity reach stratospheric heights, levels of which were unimaginable prior to this acquisition.

England. Singer-songwriter and guitarist Holly Golightly (she insists it is her real name) has always been a fan of classic Britpop from the 60s British Invasion era, as evidenced by her work as a member of Billy Childishs spin-off group Thee Headcoatees, and as a solo recording artist. While with Thee Headcoatees, Golightly was present for underground favourites such as 1992s Have Love, Will Travel and 1994s Girlsville. She launched her own solo career while still a member of the band, making her debut in 1995 with The Good Things. Straight away, the artist showed that she was looking to break free of the usual three-chord garage rock of Thee Headcoatees, mixing in blues rock and folk compositions alongside the expected styles. Golightly has since issued solo recordings at an average of a new album per year, including stand-out releases such as the 1996 all-covers set Laugh It Up! (featuring songs by Willie Dixon, Ray Davies, Mudhoney and the...

I was just wondering what everyone's take on "Dot Com Guy" was. I saw the ad for it for the first time just now and it intrigued me. Catchy tune lol

Checked out their website. Key word: FRANCHISE! Commercial is cool though.

I was snagged by their ad too... Has anyone here looked into their pricing? From what I can see they offer marketing, online backups, and a community of users.
Where's the "must have" service or product they offer? It looked to me like they basically just get a peice of your profits plus a monthly fee. I expect you could get better bang for your buck by advertising for yourself...

The potential of NADH autofluorescence as an in vivo intrinsic optical signature to monitor tissue metabolism is well recognized and supported by experimental results mainly in animal models. In this work, we propose a non-contact implementation of this method using large area excitation and employing a normalization method to account for non-metabolic signal changes. Proof of principle in vivo experiments were carried out using an autofluorescence imaging experimental system and a rat renal ischemia model. A hand-held fiber-optic probe was utilized to test the ability of the signal normalization method to address operational conditions associated with the translation of this method to a clinical setting. Preliminary pre-clinical in vivo test of the probe system was carried out using the same rat model.

Fresh troubles may be ahead of the suspended/dismissed former general superintendent of Assemblies of God Nigeria, Rev. Paul Emeka, as the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami has officially taken over his prosecution for forgery from Assemblies of God.
Emeka was alleged to have forged a University of Derby Professorial Certificate which he purportedly claimed to had been awarded to him by the authorities of the University of Derby, Derbyshire, England, on August 2, 2005.
He allegedly presented himself to the Assemblies of God Nigeria as a professor from
University of Derby, and based on the information he presented to the church, he was made one of the trustees of the church.
Sometime in January 2015, the church (complainant), upon investigation found out that Rev. Emeka (defendant) allegedly forged the professional certificate he presented to the church, because University of Derby, where he claimed to have received his professorship title, sent a disclaimer letter on January 15, 2015, through Mr. James Eaglesfield, the head of Governance and IT Portfolio, that it had no record of the name Paul Emeka in the university's Conferment Committee archives, and that they did not know of him receiving a title of professor.
"The name Paul Emeka does not appear in the university's Conferment Committee archives and we do not hold a record of Paul Emeka receiving a title of professor.
"The University of Derby did not issue the attached certificate and none of the signatories are, or have been, post-holders at the University of Derby," the university declared.
The Incorporated Trustees of Assemblies of God Nigeria on discovery that the said certificate was fake, petitioned the Nigeria Police Force.
In November 2015, the Nigeria Police completed its investigation but failed to charge Emeka to court due to manipulations by the former Inspector General Of Police, Mr Solomon Arase, who was recommended for appointment by then President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Orisetjafor.
Emeka was Ayo Orisetjafor's campaign manager for South-East when he contested for the position of the president of CAN.
The Registered Trustees of Assemblies of God Nigeria filed a direct criminal complaint against Emeka at the Upper Area Court, Gudu, Abuja in a case No. CR/1081/15, in pursuant to Section 88(1) and 90 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.
On February 4, 2016, presiding Justice Umar Yusuf Kargarko ordered the Nigerian Police to arrest and produce Emeka for trial.
"It is hereby ordered that the police shall bring the said investigation report together with the suspect before this Honourable Court," Kargarko ordered.
The police refused obeying that order despite the acknowledgement of the receipt of the court order by the Inspector General of Police Monitoring Unit on February 17, 2016.
It was on this note that the Attorney General of the Federation, who was complained to by the counsel to the Incorporated Trustees of Assemblies Of God Nigeria, Barr Ifeanyi Nwaeze, directed the Director of Public Prosecution, DPP, to take over the prosecution because certificate forgery and use of forged documents are crimes against the state, punishable under Section 363,364 and 366 of the Penal Code.
Offence of forgery with fraudulent intent is punishable under Section 364 of the same law with 10 to 20 years in jail.
At the resumed sitting of the court yesterday, lawyers to Rev. Emeka came to present the order for stay of execution given by Justice Ogbonnaya of the Federal High Court, Abuja, but they were shocked to notice the presence of prosecution sent by the Attorney General of the Federation.
The prosecutor from the Ministry of Justice, Mrs I. A. Charles Okolie told Justice Kagarko that the Attorney General of the Federation had given an approval for the federal government to prosecute Rev. Emeka.
The presiding judge told Barr J. U. Ajii, counsel to Emeka, that he could not disobey the directives of the Attorney General of the Federation.
The court adjourned the matter till September 19 to enable the Attorney General prepare and amend the charges to read 'Federal Republic of Nigeria Vs Rev Dr Paul Emeka.'
Fresh troubles may be ahead of the suspended/dismissed former general superintendent of Assemblies of God Nigeria, Rev. Paul Emeka, as the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami has officially taken over his prosecution for forgery from Assemblies of God.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/1/2012 (2045 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
IT'S a disconcerting and frightening scene at any time, but even more so when a club's leading scorer exits the ice clutching his throat after taking a shot to the neck.
Winnipeg Jets ace Blake Wheeler was taken to the hospital Saturday afternoon after being nailed in the throat on a shot by New Jersey Devils forward Petr Sykora with just over 13 minutes left in the second period. The Jets confirmed later in the day that tests on Wheeler's neck and throat were negative, although his status for the upcoming two-game road trip to Ottawa and New Jersey is uncertain. He leads the squad with 32 points on nine goals and 23 assists.
The Jets are already without two of their top defencemen in Dustin Byfuglien and Zach Bogosian. Byfuglien won't be available for the road trip, Bogosian might be -- and the club did call up Paul Postma from the St. John's IceCaps early Saturday. Postma was summoned as Mark Flood was the latest Jet to catch the flu bug, but Flood fought off the sickness to play against the Devils.
The 22-year-old has six goals and 21 assists in 30 games with the IceCaps and will stay with the Jets on their trip east.
PENALTY SHOTS APLENTY: The Jets had another penalty shot called against them Saturday when Ron Hainsey got tangled with Patrik Elias in front of Ondrej Pavelec. Elias would miss on his attempt, but it marks the third time in the last six games the Jets' goaltenders have faced shooters on penalty shots. Boston's Shawn Thornton beat Pavelec in the Bruins' 5-3 win over the Jets on Jan. 10, and Montreal's Lars Eller did his spinarama move for a goal against Chris Mason on Jan. 4. Winnipeg lost all three games.
Asked if the referee said anything to him after the infraction, Hainsey said:
"No. Obviously I don't want a penalty there, but that's the way it goes."
THE VIEW FROM THE OTHER SIDE: Quotes from the Devils' dressing room:
"Obviously the heads-up play by (Adam) Larsson on the winning goal and then the big goal from (Kurtis) Foster off the faceoff. We knew we needed contributions from some different people tonight with some of the guys we have out of the lineup, and at the end of the road trip we got that." -- Devils head coach Peter DeBoer
"It was a good win for us. I think we played pretty good all game. We had a lot of quality chances on Pavelec. He made some good saves to keep them there... Got a little burst at the end. We got a little luck, we battled real hard. A little chaotic, but we got it done." -- Martin Brodeur, New Jersey goaltender.

STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS -- (Senate - February 13, 2008)
Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, I have sought recognition today to introduce Nino's Act, to provide for the continuance of successful treatment for children who are required to leave National Institutes of Health, NIH, research studies. The NIH provides the greatest medical research in the world on innumerable diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's. The NIH also conducts excellent research on diseases that affect children. To conduct that research many brave children must partake in research studies including observational, or natural history, studies and clinical trials to test experimental therapies. This participation is critical to understanding diseases and ultimately finding cures at the NIH.
To participate in the trials and studies, children and their families often make considerable sacrifices. Families will travel great distances to receive treatment that may provide relief from the child's illness. In many cases, parents and doctors will have tried many treatments for the child's disease about which little may be known or understood. The NIH studies represent an opportunity for both the medical community to learn more about the disease and the child to be studied and potentially treated by the best researchers in the world.
When the experimental treatments are successful, it is cause for great celebration for the child. The joy, however, can end quickly as the studies come to end but the children who have been part of them continue to be stricken by these terrible illnesses.
Nino's Act seeks to transition children out of the NIH studies as they end so they don't experience a gap in their important treatment. This legislation continues the successful treatment initiated in NIH studies by providing access to the same prescription drugs for children who are required to leave NIH clinical studies due to the studies ending, researcher leaving, or other reason. Often drugs that are used successfully in these studies have not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration or have not been approved for treatment of the child's specific disease. As such, it is nearly impossible for children to get access or insurance coverage for these drugs. This bill makes that access possible by requiring Medicaid to cover the cost of treatment in the event that the children's health insurance does not.
On occasion, insurers will cover the cost of the treatment for these children if they have adequate insurance and the FDA has approved the drug for off-label uses. More often then not, however, children do not have health insurance, or have insufficient insurance to obtain these drugs. As a result, children suffer their diseases without relief from the treatment as established in the clinical NIH studies. To ensure that these children have access to successful care post-study, Nino's Act requires Medicaid to cover the cost of treatment for these children. While Medicaid access is traditionally based on income, due to the importance of these drugs to the child's well-being the income component will be waived. To ensure Medicaid is not unnecessarily covering medication, Nino's Act requires the physicians participating in the research to certify the treatment as successful and essential.
This important issue was introduced to me by Lori Todaro of Newville, PA. Lori's son Nino suffers from Undifferentiated Auto-Inflammatory Periodic Fever Syndrome. This disease takes a devastating toll on those who suffer from it. The auto-inflammatory disease can cause joint inflammation arthritis, Crohns, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and cyclical high fevers. Treatment for Periodic Fever Syndrome is experimental at best; Lori and Nino have visited a number of doctors and tried many medications in an effort to control the disease.
In 2003, Nino was fortunate to be selected to take part in an observational study at NIH in Bethesda, Maryland for Undifferentiated Auto-inflammatory Periodic Fever Syndrome. During the course of the study, Nino was given a new medication and his condition greatly improved. Before he participated in the study he was being fitted for wheelchairs and was home schooled because his symptoms were so disruptive and unpredictable. The NIH treatment allowed him to resume a normal life and enabled him to attend school and play soccer. While Nino's treatment was successful he could not remain part of the study indefinitely and was encouraged to seek coverage for his treatments through his private insurer. Initially, the Todaro's insurer would not agree to cover the cost of the experimental drug and only after an intense lobbying effort by Lori, did the insurer agree to cover Nino's prescriptions.
Nino's story is a successful one, but also serves to highlight the issue that children and their families are facing as they transition out of NIH studies. For many, NIH trials are a source of hope for relief from the worst diseases known to man. The excellent doctors and research teams at NIH make invaluable contributions to our understanding of complex and debilitating diseases. This legislation seeks to amplify the NIH's contributions by allowing America's sickest children to continue their successful treatment under Medicaid coverage. I encourage my colleagues to work with Senator Casey and me to move this legislation forward promptly.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the Record.

New Hong Kong Restaurant in Phoenix Is Up For Sale
Pork Stomach and Black Pepper Pot from New Hong Kong Restaurant
Laura Hahnefeld
Don't freak out yet, but according to a post on the New Hong Kong Restaurant website, the owners of the well-loved Chinese restaurant are looking to sell. Citing age and a "large amount of traffic in the restaurant," the owners are searching for someone to buy their business.
Yup. Okay, now you can freak out.
Widely regarded as one of the best Cantonese restaurants in town, New Hong Kong Restaurant owes its success to one man: the restaurant's chef and owner Jian Yu, who came to Phoenix with his family in 1997. Originally from Kaiping in China's Guangdong province, Yu worked at various Chinese restaurants around town — earning a fan base among the Valley's Chinese residents — until eventually taking over Hong Kong Restaurant about a decade ago. He was the one who added the "New" to the name.
Here's the full post from the restaurant's website:
We personally want to Thank-You for all the support you have given us over the years. From just a small buffet restaurant to the Best of Phoenix Chinese Food! We are so proud of the achievements over the years, but sadly, the time has come. Age has caught on to us, and we cannot handle the large amount of traffic in the restaurant. As the owners of the restaurant, we are looking for someone whom we can pass this legacy onto.
The website also offers a phone number and e-mail interested parties can use to contact the owners.
Now, if you'll excuse us, we have some mourning to do.

The 2014 Subaru Outback provides one of the most spacious rear compartments of any mid-size crossover, and the front matches the competition as well. Both headroom and legroom in both rows is adequate even for tall adults, and the reclining rear seat adds flexibility as well. There's no third-row option, but the tradeoff is a large 34-cubic-foot cargo bay that turns cavernous (expanding to 71 cubic feet) when the 60/40 split rear seatback is folded down.
The Outback will comfortably hold five adults, and even with the front seats pushed back on their tracks, there's enough legroom for six-footers in the rear seat. It's easy to get in and out, too, through tall and wide rear doors that open wide. The legroom comes from a longer wheelbase than previous Outback models (though overall length stayed the same) and a taller roofline, boosting headroom. The front seats are well shaped and offer good support on long trips, though the tallest drivers may find the bottom seat cushion a little shorter than they'd like.
Inside the car, plenty of trays, bins, and cubbies provide storage space for all the mobile phones, sunglasses, papers, soda cans, and loose change that accompany any road trip these days. Almost every Subaru seems to be fitted with the optional sturdy rubber all-weather floor mats for muddy hiking boots and wet gear--and Subaru prices them reasonably as a result. The company has also put a lot of thought into roof storage. The rail system has crossbars that pivot back and lie flat along the rails when not in use, to reduce aerodynamic drag, and there's an enormous variety of third-party accessories--ski holders, kayak mounts, storage boxes, bike racks, and more.
Last year, Subaru improved the standard seat fabric, ditching the previous brocade-curtain fabric and making the seats more comfortable. There's also an optional "light matte wood grain" trim to give the interior a bit more sophistication on high-end models. Still, the interior is practical, durable, and utilitarian rather than glamorous and high-design--which Subaru owners value. High-contact points like the center console and the lower door panels have hard plastic surfaces that can scuff, but assembly quality is first-rate, with no rattles or squeaks. If it matters, every Subaru Outback sold in the U.S. is assembled in Indiana.
The Outback still suffers from Subaru's Achilles Heel--wind noise around the large, usable door mirrors--but engine noise is sufficiently muted under most circumstances. Overall, the refinement is acceptable if not the most hushed and soothing vehicle on the market. You'll know when the engine is at full power, and the Outback is hardly as quiet as a church or meditation center, but you won't find it tiring to travel in.

Zucchelli: Calvin Klein is a legend
Italo Zucchelli praises Calvin Klein for "changing his life".
The Italian designer has been the men's creative director of Calvin Klein Collection for over a decade, receiving the offer from the eponymous designer himself before he left his brand.
It's been a whirlwind journey for Zucchelli, who praises Klein's influence on him during their time working together, which followed a stint at Jil Sander.
"I knew fashion was my passion. [Calvin Klein is] a living legend and in my opinion, a genius. I worked with him for three years and learned a lot from him. He's my mentor. He changed my life," the fashion star gushed to WWD.
"It was interesting for me to see how the same aesthetic could be translated in a very European, conceptual, arty way from her [Jil Sander] and a very American, immediate, to-the-point way from him. There are a lot of similarities, but the way it's expressed is different, and what I do is a mixture of both."
Zucchelli has now formed his own recognisable aesthetic, using fabrics such as PVC and Neoprene for his designs. Ahead of designing the label's collections he travels around the globe, taking in the sights of cities like Berlin and Tokyo for inspiration.
He sees his chosen textiles as a reflection of what the future holds for the industry.
"I think fashion is supposed to move forward so the fascination I've always had with fabrics and materials can help push a new message," he added. "Fabrics represent the soul of the clothes. I like to push with innovation and that's what the materials have always been for me."
Zucchelli has stayed true to Calvin Klein's casting methods, choosing "strong, masculine" men to model the clothing. The same goes for his outlook on celebrities.
"I like handsome guys like Bradley [Cooper] and Alex [Skarsgård], people who can really represent what I do in the best way - the athleticism, the Americanism. But at the same time, I also like characters like Jared Leto," the designer noted.

Being fat can help you live longer
According to new research, the death rate among men and women, aged 70 to 75, is lowest for those classed as overweight. Being underweight is associated with the highest mortality.health and fitness Updated: Feb 15, 2010 17:57 IST
According to the new research, the death rate among men and women, aged 70 to 75, is lowest for those classed as overweight. And those pensioners classed as obese have the same risk of death as people of 'normal' weight. However, being underweight is associated with the highest mortality.
It is thought that fat reserves could help frail older people recover from bouts of illness such as pneumonia.
Obesity is a well known risk factor for a range of fatal illnesses including cancer, heart disease, stroke and diabetes. However, the latest study by Professor Leon Flicker suggests that losing weight once you pass 70 can dramatically increase your chances of dying.
For the study, the researchers looked at 9,240 adults, aged 70 to 75. They found that those overweight were 13 per cent less likely to die from any cause over a 10-year period, compared with those of normal weight.
Those underweight were 76 per cent more likely to die, while obese elderly people had the same mortality risk as those of normal weight.
"This study has demonstrated that, for people who have survived to the age of 70, the risk of death is lowest among those with a BMI [body mass index] classified as overweight," the Daily Express quoted Professor Flicker as saying.
"Those in their seventies who were classified as normal weight had a higher risk of death than the overweight group," Professor Flicker added.
The link between weight and mortality applied to the most common causes of death. "Even after removing the effects of early mortality, those who were overweight were still at lowest risk. This is a finding consistent with the observation that weight loss in older age groups is associated with greater incidence of death," Professor Flicker said.
He admitted it was not clear why excess weight appeared to protect the elderly from death. "We can only hypothesise, but it may be that, as we age, the presence of nutritional and metabolic reserves - ie fat - are advantageous," he said.

1. Yes, he doesn't share my views on abortion, but so what? After all, aborted babies go to heaven. If they grow up, they might go to hell. Abortion on demand is the best form of evangelism ever invented. So, with Obama we'd continue to get over a million babies into heaven year, and Supreme Court Justices to insure that it goes on for another generation. Obama would push for more and more federal funding for abortions, which means we would be using state money for evangelism! How cool is that?! And I'm sure the ACLU would never call him on it. Yes, I know the Bible talks about "Thou shalt not murder" and caring for "the least of these," but let's not get legalistic and impose our Christian morality on others.

Logvinenko [ Perception 31, 201 ( 2002)] asserts that Adelson's wall-of-blocks illusion [ Science 262, 2042 ( 1993)], where identical gray-cube surface tops appear to differ in brightness, arises when the surfaces surrounding the cube tops are shadow compatible, creating a concomitant illusion of transparency. We replicated Logvinenko's main findings in the chromatic domain across three experiments in which observers match cube tops in hue, saturation, and brightness. A second set of stimuli adjusted cone-excitation ratios across the apparent transparency border [ Proc. R. Soc. London 257, 115 ( 1994)], which enhanced lightness and brightness constancy but only when the stimuli varied in both chromaticity and intensity.

Diablo III, has resigned from the company. Morrisroe was the driving for behind the game's fan-lamented visual style, but Blizzard assured MTV Multiplayer in an email that any outcry over color and rainbows in the world of Diablo had nothing to do with his departure.
"Regarding Brian, he recently resigned to form a startup technology company (outside the game industry)," the email read, continuing, "This change won't impact the game ... we're really pleased with the look and feel that Brian helped create for Diablo III, and the new person we bring onboard will work with the other artists on the team to maintain the art style moving forward." Funny – the job posting doesn't mention anything about "must own fire-retardant undergarments" or "must possess an ability to weather fans' lamentations over your use of a color palette." Oh well, whoever Blizzard hires will find out soon enough.

Obviously, I didn't want that to happen. My spine was about 54 degrees, and now is down in the 30 degrees. I am so much better and my quality of life is so much better now. I have a wife and four daughters and they all come here as well. My one daughter was also diagnosed with scoliosis and her quality of life has improved immensely as well.

I suffered from fibromyalgia, lower back pain and ovarian cyst pain. After receiving chiropractic care with Integrative my ovarian cyst surgery was canceled because the cyst shrunk in size and the pain disappeared. My fibromyalgia pain has also disappeared. What I like best about the office is the drug free treatment and the friendly, courteous and carrying staff.
~ Lourdes
I have been dealing with sinus congestion and seasonal allergies for many years. Surgery had minimal effect and medications had more side effects than I desired. My life is different since starting chiropractic care because I'm no longer taking medication! I have NO more sinus headaches or migraines.
~ Lauren
I had reached a point that I could no longer work out in the yard for more than 15 minutes. I couldn't lift anything heavy and some days I would use a cane because my hip and knee hurt so much. I no longer need to do that. It is progressively getting better each week. I have also learned so much about the spine and how the body works. I've never been to a chiropractor who teaches his patients what happens to their bodies, what is being done to correct it and what you can do as a patient to help the process. Thank you Integrative for caring about my wellness!
~ Jenn
I came in because of horrible lower back pain. I had terrible sciatic pain. When I sneezed, I was brought to my knees it hurt so much. Everything has changed since starting spinal decompression. My pain is minimal, if even there. I can pick up my child again. I have no problems sneezing, coughing, or sitting for a long time. Everything used to be uncomfortable, but it's not anymore.
~ Emily
I originally came to Integrative because of major migraine headaches that I have had for years. I have been coming to Integrative for two months, and NEVER have migraines now.
~ Denise
I could not lift my left arm from my side. I had headaches and severe jaw pain and was taking pain killers that caused many other issues. Since getting chiropractic treatments I can now function with no prescription medications! I have improved TMJ function and before I could not open my mouth at times. Integrative provides a friendly and professional atmosphere and when you leave you feel better!
After experiencing a severe and chronic pain in my neck and shoulder I went to see an orthopedic doctor. A subsequent MRI showed a bulging disk in my neck. The only treatment options they offered me were pain medication and surgery. Chiropractic realignment of my neck alleviated the pain in my shoulder and much of the pain in my neck. Chiropractic adjustment is a noninvasive option that is working for me and is drug free.

IMO, CreditKarma.com is not a place to directly manage your credit. It merely offers information to help you manage your credit. Although, it would be nice if they offered a more direct avenue for refuting charges (however, that would introduce liability for them; something a site like this wants to avoid in its early years of life. Perhaps, that'll change down the road).

Take 2: Paddington
"I'll never be like other people, but that's alright, because I'm a bear. A bear called Paddington."
I don't often watch things twice in such a short period of time but that's life…
What strikes me this time around is the weakness of the plot compared to the marvellous attention to detail. Paddington's issues with Nicole Kidman pale in comparison to the enchanting vision of London painted here.
I also loved the little tricks used to provide back story without reverting to simple flashbacks. The scene with the projector is beautiful, as is the train in Mr. Gruber's shop. The doll's house coming alive feels like a Wes Anderson trick but it's not out of place. All these elements also help lift the film out of reality, making the whole notion of a talking bear more plausible.
The use of the scenery to convey emotion is also charming, and proves an easy way to give the film depth. The way the 'found' part of the lost and found sign lights up when the Browns meet Paddington; the leaves painted on the wall of their house falling off when he's gone; it's simple but effective and doesn't feel like a gimmick.
If they can dial back the wacky plot then there's material for a unique franchise here. However it's going to take something special to maintain this level of creativity and a big part of me hopes they don't make a Paddington 2…

Another E3 has come and gone, and there is still no word of Beyond Good & Evil 2 being anything more than an idea for Ubisoft and Michel Ancel, the mind behind the original game. The announcement of next-gen systems seemed like a perfect time to announce a follow-up to the critically-praised action/puzzler, but despite rumors that BG&E2 would be officially announced at E3 2013, no such update was offered.
However, series creator Michel Ancel still sees a future for the series on next-gen, and believes that current hardware couldn't match his vision for the project.
Speaking with Gamereactor, Michel Ancel spoke once again on the prospects of Beyond Good & Evil 2 on next-gen consoles. While the designer wouldn't confirm that development was underway for BG&E2 specifically, he did give an explanation for why fans never saw the sequel on the previous generation:
"I think [on current platforms] Beyond Good & Evil 2 was possible, but it'd be painful. It's always possible to do anything on any kind of console, but sometimes you need to spend your energy not on the optimizations or things like that.
"Now that we have the [new] consoles around the corner we're working on them. We're trying to see how we can get the power out of those consoles because there are still things we need to understand on those consoles, but yes, Beyond Good & Evil is a project I always have in mind and I hope good things will come for this project very soon."
The previously leaked concept video gave us the first hints that Ubisoft's plans for BG&E2 were looking far too advanced for the Xbox 360 and PS3's potential, and company-wide, the publisher seems to be taking their time with their most demanded franchises. And with the next generation of hardware on the horizon, BG&E may not be the only Ubisoft franchise with big announcements incoming.
Going by Ancel's comments, it seems that the developer is working on letting the hardware do the heavy lifting in making a massive game world or story possible. While it may have been possible to bring Ancel's vision to life on previous consoles, the difference in potential is far greater than the simple specs would imply (a claim we've heard from the team behind yet another long-demanded sequel).
Although fans would likely be happy with any continuation of the original game' story, or even an explanation of how the leaked announcement trailer will or won't be related to the finished product, Ancel is taking his time. Ubisoft has maintained that "it will happen when it will be perfect." And recalling the kind of worlds and planets Ancel is imagining for BG&E2, the wait could end up being more than worth it.
We'll keep you updated on Beyond Good & Evil 2 as official word is released. For now, take to the comments to tell us what you'd like to see from the game, and whether Ancel taking his time with the sequel is a good sign.

'Speech' sets the scene
Published: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 3:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 3:29 p.m.
Imagine all the things that could be.
Go back to school, you could be a doctor or lawyer. Save money, and you could be rich(er). Learn a new skill, and you could be popular at parties. Teach a child, and she could be president someday.
Sometimes in life, a small decision that seems insignificant — or even wrong — can turn out to be the most right thing that can happen. And in the new book "The Speech" by Gary Younge, you will see how an off-the-cuff choice created a legacy.
The year 1963 seemed to be a "turning point" in the civil rights movement.
Before that, there were sit-ins, Freedom Riders, and boycotts. "[r]ace overwhelmed almost everything," writes Younge. But in early summer that year, it got worse: Alabama Gov. George Wallace personally stood in a schoolhouse doorway to keep black students from attending college. In early fall, four black girls died in a church bombing. And before winter arrived, John Kennedy was assassinated.
But in between these seminal events, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. made a speech.
For King, speechifying was routine. In all of 1963, he made "at least" 350 speeches, and many of them had a similar theme: aides noticed that he often used the words, "I have a dream," and they were tired of it.
So on Aug. 27, 1963, the night before the March on Washington, when King asked for advice on the speech he was to give the next morning, they told him to ditch the dream. He'd "used it too many times ... "
The next day, when King took the podium in front of the Lincoln Memorial, it appeared that he might have listened. His speech took people "to church," but they'd already sat through other speeches.
Then, witnesses claim, singer Mahalia Jackson shouted for King to "Tell them about the dream ... "
In "The Speech," Younge asks that question, too, and his skinny little, information-packed volume has the answer.
But in getting to the reason why that speech is one of the more memorable in American history, Younge sets the scene by mixing little-known facts with common knowledge about the civil rights movement. He then explains how the March came together, why the speech became an iconic event, and the important impacts that it still has, 50 years after it almost didn't occur.
Reading a book about a speech might seem like a narrow focus, but this book has so much more. For students of history, I think, as well as for people who were there that August day, and especially for those who weren't, "The Speech" could be what you need to read next.

MarketLive(R) Performance Index(TM) Vol.16 Reveals a Solid Increase in 3rd Quarter Revenue and Promises a Strong 2011 Holiday SeasonReport Details Early Season, Peak Buying and Last Minute Frenzy Strategies for Successful Holiday Season Results (October 19, 2011)
PETALUMA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/19/11 -- MarketLive, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise-class eCommerce technology and services, today released the MarketLive Performance Index Volume 16, Q3 2011 Update: Anticipating the Holiday Rush. The quarterly report examines Q3 performance data from more than 100 retail sites.
Online retailers saw robust increases in traffic and revenue during the third quarter, according to the report. Findings include:
- 16% increase in visitors
- 18% increase in revenue
- 5% increase in conversions
- 15% increase in the "1-and-out" rate, which measures the percentage of visits ending after just one page and likely correlates with increased traffic
According to MarketLive CEO, Mark Pierce, "It will be critical for merchants to find ways -- beyond just slashing prices -- to engage holiday shoppers who are likely to research and shop heavily online. Those who succeed in doing that will see larger gains in conversion and sales."
The report offers innovative customer-centric strategies for the 2011 holiday season through early purchase incentives, an emphasis on customer service and a cross touchpoint experience. These include:
- Early season: Encourage immediate purchases by promoting preseason bargains and playing up the scarcity of popular items.
- Peak buying season: Emphasize the value of stellar customer service by promoting site-to-store purchasing and providing prominent, detailed information about delivery cutoff dates.
- Last-minute frenzy: Connect with shoppers on the go by using social media to inform them about in-store holiday happenings -- and tying your mobile store locator to those events.
The complete MarketLive Performance Index Vol. 16 report is available for download at http://www.marketlive.com/marketlive-communications/2011/performance-index/volume-16/67197-form.html
For more holiday strategies and insight into consumer behavior this holiday season, MarketLive will be hosting its 2011 Consumer Shopping Survey and Holiday Strategies Webinar on October 26th, presented in conjunction with the e-Tailing Group.

The launch of the discount offer is on the back of the carrier's new network which the company seeks to introduce via the offering. So, the offer is applicable only for flights on the company's new network. Also, with the discount offer, the cash-strapped carrier is expected to mop up some cash, and more so in such a scenario, more and more customers will opt for air travel over rail transport.
The limited seats under the scheme are available on a first-come-first-serve basis and can be availed through either the company's website www.spicejet.com or via travel agents and travel portals.
Other than the Rs. 1 base fare, company has also announced discounts on other flights depending on the travel date and the flight. Soon, after the announcement of the hefty discount on air fare, website of the company was down due to heavy traffic.

Taylor Swift Explains Her Cat-Carrying Habit
Taylor Swift has been spotted carrying Olivia Benson the cat around on her arm twice in one week, and the habit was beginning to rub off on other celebrities (and basically build into one of the greatest mysteries of our time). In earth-shattering news, Taylor explained to "Access Hollywood" that the reason for the feline accessorizing is that Olivia hates spending time in her cat carrier. "She freaks out when she's in there. So I was just like, 'OK, all right, we're gonna just do this!'…It was like a ten foot walk from my door to the car! What I thought was funny about those pictures is that, like, the cat is looking straight at the cameras!" So now we know for sure that Olivia is not a perfect robot-cat who never goes on a whiny scratching fest and that she has an untapped talent for modeling. Now that Taylor mentions it, that pink contraption behind her in the picture does look like a cat carrier wielded by an assistant. Now, only one question remains — where on earth is Meredith?
