This thesis focuses on routine outcome measurement in occupational therapy; specifically the use of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) in inpatient geriatric rehabilitation.
The purpose of the first study (Chapters two and three) was to: 1) determine if routine COPM use was associated with improved functional outcome; 2) gather therapist perceptions on routine COPM use; and, 3) propose a template for summarizing COPM data. A cohort study with a therapist participant survey measured the difference in Functional Independence Measure (FIM™) change scores between an experimental group (n = 45) that implemented the routine use of the COPM for evaluation/planning and a historical "usual care" comparison group (n = 58). Using generalized linear modeling, it was found that both groups had significant changes in FIM™ scores over time (p <. 05). Differences between groups were not significant. Therapists perceived that the COPM facilitated treatment but experienced challenges in routine use. Therapists placed more importance on individual than group data.
The second study (Chapter four) determined if routine use of the COPM was associated with changes in five domains of practice: focus of care on occupation, knowledge of client perspective, clinical decision-making, clinician ability to articulate outcomes, and documentation. Twenty-four occupational therapists on eight geriatric rehabilitation units completed a before-and-after study with a repeated baseline. Domains of practice during three months of standard care (no COPM) were compared using Chart Stimulated Recall and chart audit as outcome measures to three months of intervention (COPM). Mean practice scores indicated a significant effect for time (p < .0001) but no effect based on the frequency of COPM use. Chart audit indicated that COPM use resulted in more occupation-focused issue identification.
This thesis challenges assumptions regarding the value of measurement and contains the first study to demonstrate that routine outcome measure use affects occupational therapy practice.

4 Comments
To say that I'm slightly obsessed with vintage glassware is putting it mildly. I love these, especially the glassware with red dots.
In regards to the one you labeled Dorothy Thorpe, it's more of a Dorothy Thorpe style/copycat. Her glasses have 1" silver rims. Not to say that these aren't cool; just not DT.
I have a growing collection of vintage shot glasses, similar to photos 1, 2, and 5. Some look like mini wine glasses and others look like tiny glass mugs. My apartment came with a long, low built-in shelf that makes for a great display area.
Etsy is a great place for vintage glass finds!
Beautiful Vintage Glassware!! Thank you for including mine!!

Dynamite Kid
Real Name
Thomas Billington
Date of Birth
December 5, 1958
Place of Birth
Vince McMahon reportedly has a rule about the cast of Total Divas. None of them are allowed to hold the championship while they are a part of that reality show. No word yet on why McMahon has that rule in place right now, but it is quite peculiar since WWE basically scripts a lot of their segments based on what is happening on Total Divas.
September 25, 2014
Despite not being a major topic of conversation among the internet wrestling community, the season premier of Total Divas did really well this week. They managed to draw in over a million viewers. If the show can manage to maintain that type of number, then there's a very good chance that the relationship between WWE and E! will continue. Rosa Mendes was added to the cast this year, so a new diva could be added if another season were to follow.
September 9, 2014
During a media interview to promote Total Divas, Brie Bella revealed that Daniel Bryan would not be needing the second surgery that has long been rumored to repair his neck injury. She stated that her husband was gaining the strength back in his right arm and could be back as soon as three months, which would enable WWE to have him make a surprise return at Royal Rumble 2015.
September 7, 2014
WWE wanted to create a buzz for Rosa Mendes and the upcoming season of Total Divas, and it looks like the company has accomplished that. Fans are talking about the preview clip where Rosa is naked on one of the episodes. She is in a hotel room, and Natalya Neidhart walks in on her. Obviously, the network won't be showing her fully nude, but it's enough to pique interest in the show.
September 5, 2014
Not a whole lot of fans are aware of this, but Naomi Knight has been missing in action for WWE for a couple of weeks now. The Total Divas star has now revealed that she has been on the sidelines because she needed minor surgery to help further repair her injured eye. Naomi last worked a tag team match on an episode of Monday Night Raw at the end of July.
August 30, 2014
There are speculations right now that Rosa Mendes could be on the receiving end of a push from WWE. She recently stated in an interview that she has never won a singles match via pin fall on television before. The belief is that she is planting the seeds for an underdog story line. Rosa chasing the championship could be a focal point on Total Divas.
August 23, 2014
At Summerslam 2014, fans witnessed the beginning of the feud between Nikki Bella and Brie Bella when the former turned on her sister and helped Stephanie McMahon win the match. The belief is that the feud was instigated by the producers of Total Divas. They wanted an intriguing story for the upcoming season of the show.
August 21, 2014
The camera crew for Total Divas was on hand this weekend to film the bridal shower for Eva Marie. Initially, some were under the belief that it was the actual wedding. However, it has now been confirmed that the official ceremony will be taking place later on this week. Footage from that event will more than likely be included in the upcoming season.
August 17, 2014
Rumors are going around that Ashley Flair has moved to the front of the line for a promotion from developmental to the main roster in WWE. There are some roadblocks in her way, though. Total Divas is set to become a major focus again very soon, so the writers will put an emphasis on them when writing Monday Night Raw. Flair might also have to wait a bit longer if Paige picks up more momentum in her feud with AJ Lee.
August 12, 2014
It looks like WWE will be utilizing the relationship between Cameron and her boyfriend a bit more during the next season of Total Divas. The belief is that something drastic will happen, where the couple will either break up or do a wedding. The heel turn and split from Naomi Knight was designed to put more attention into her character on the reality television show next season.
July 28, 2014
One of the ideas being floated around backstage in WWE is to turn Nikki Bella into a heel. The story would be that Stephanie McMahon finally gets to her by getting Nikki to believe that Brie Bella has left her hanging. Nikki would grow tired of being abused by the Authority, so she ends up doing a heel turn against her sister. The story would more than likely be featured on Total Divas as well.
July 22, 2014
TMZ has quite the fascination with WWE nowadays. The tabloid website recently reported that Nikki Bella, who recently received her real estate license, was spotted showing homes to Cameron and her boyfriend. The couple is getting pretty serious and is wanting to move in together. Cameron, who is one of the stars of Total Divas, stated that she wants a five bedroom place.
July 21, 2014
Since management did not want to have two divas matches on WWE Battleground 2014, the decision was made to have the match between Cameron and Naomi Knight take place on the kickoff show instead. The segment was needed for the upcoming season of Total Divas. Otherwise, the story would have been placed on the back burner once AJ Lee decided to make her return to WWE.
July 15, 2014
The big brawl between Naomi Knight and Cameron that you witnessed on Monday Night Raw this week was indeed the big breakup that has been teased over the last couple of weeks by WWE. As many already know, this story was set up for the sake of Total Divas, as producers wanted more dramatic stories for the reality television show. Since it is involved with another network, the belief is that WWE will get behind the story and put some emphasis on it.
July 9, 2014
While a lot of fans are hoping to see WWE giving Dolph Ziggler a push again, the on screen relationship between he and Summer Rae is more about the diva than the former world heavyweight champion. Management needed someone to pair her up with, so that she can continue her feud against Fandango and Layla El. WWE still wants to give her a nice push heading into the next season of Total Divas.
July 6, 2014
Over the last several months, the Usos have been given more of the spotlight. While some of that is due to the Total Divas connection, the main source of their push is due to Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso being backed by John Cena. The trio has grown close backstage. Cena doesn't often use his stroke with management, but he has encouraged management to push guys like Antonio Cesaro and Big E Langston before.
June 27, 2014
Taping has started for the next season of Total Divas, which means that WWE will start featuring a lot of the cast members on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown a bit more now. Rosa Mendes is the new girl on the block, so you can expect management to give her a bit of a push on television in the upcoming weeks. Rumors have it that she will play a big part on Total Divas, so her push in WWE could be very big as well.
June 21, 2014
There's some potentially bad news if you're a big fan of Daniel Bryan, as rumors are now surfacing that he might not be healthy enough to make a return at Summerslam 2014 as previously predicted. WWE wants to be very careful with his situation, as something negative could trigger a big storm with the mainstream media. Bryan is featured heavily on Total Divas and is one of the more known stars now in the industry.
June 19, 2014
Since the Total Divas writers are hoping to create a bit of a buzz for next season, there are talks that they will have WWE do a story line soon where Naomi Knight and Cameron decide to split up and go their own separate ways. Rumors are suggesting that Naomi will be the one to turn heel, even though Cameron has a more natural ability to get people to hate her.
June 19, 2014
Now that she has successfully defend the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox, it looks like Paige is moving on to another challenger. Based on a press conference video, it appears that the next challenger is Cameron. The move could be designed to help promote her new music. It could also be WWE filming footage for the upcoming season of Total Divas as well.
June 3, 2014
Aside from being one of the most known tag teams of all time, the British Bulldogs were cousins. Dynamite Kid's father was the brother of Davey Boy Smith's mother.
January 12, 2014
According to his daughter, the Dynamite Kid has been recovering well from a series of strokes. The former WWE star acknowledges that it will be a long road towards complete recovery, though.
November 30, 2013
WWE is reporting that Dynamite Kid, one half of the famous British Bulldog tag team with Davey Boy Smith, has suffered from a stroke several times over the last couple of days.
November 23, 2013
A picture has surfaced online of WWE legend Dynamite Kid in a wheelchair. Next to him is David Hart Smith, the son of his long time tag team partner Davey Boy Smith.
November 15, 2010
At Wrestlemania 2, Dynamite Kid and British Bulldog, accompanied by musician Ozzy Osbourne and Captain Lou Albano, defeated Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake, accompanied by Johnny Valiant to become the new WWE tag team champions.
April 7, 1986
Dynamite Kid got his start in Europe, but he didn't become an impact player until he went to work for Stu Hart in Canada. Since Stampede Wrestling had a working relationship with New Japan, Dynamite was able to book himself some dates in the country. It is believe that he will be working out of Tokyo for the next year.

I use them to listen to music on my laptop and work computer. The sound's great, but I can't move around freely because the cord is so freaking SHORT. It barely reaches my pocket, and even then it's on the brink of hanging above it. Because of this, I have to hold my phone in my hand while I'm walking to make sure it doesn't plummet to its death.

Question on: Classical disintegration of particles, Landau-Lifshitz series on Physics
by MManuel Abad
Tags: classical, disintegration, landaulifshitz, particles, physics, series
|Share this thread:
Jan21-11, 11:19 AM
Hi there.
I'm a second-year physics student. I'm from Mexico (so please, forgive my english), and I'm on winter holidays. I've been studying Mechanics with the first volume of the "Course of Theoretical Physics", by Landau and Lifgarbagez, that awesome though hard book series. My study plan is to do all exercises and to explain every mathematical detail Landau skips in his exposition. Two days ago, everything was alright, but then I found, in chapter IV "Collisions between particles", something I cannot fully comprehend.
In the first section (from the last paragraph in page 43 in the 3rd english edition), Landau considers the disintegration of many identical particles, isotropically oriented in space and wants to know the distribution of the resulting particles in direction etc.
Please, I can't get the picture of the problem. ¿Can someone explain it to me?
I think it's this:
You have this bunch of particles, all identical, randomly oriented. Each of them disintegrates in two resulting particles of masses m1 and m2, with equal momentums in the C (center of mass) frame of reference, and the direction of m1 making the same angle phi (say) with that of m2 for every original particle. As a result of this, there's a uniform distribution of the directions of the resulting particles. But then there's the problem:
So far in the text, the angle [tex]\theta[/tex]0 was the angle the velocity (seen from the C frame) of one of the particles made with the direction of the velocity V of the original particle as seen from the LAB frame of reference (see fig. 14). Now, what does [tex]\theta[/tex]0 mean?? When you consider that system of particles disintegrating in the LAB system, are they moving with velocity V? In what direction? Is V the velocity of the center of mass of the system of particles as seen from the LAB reference frame?? Then [tex]\theta[/tex]0 is the angle, say, particle 1 makes with the velocity of the center of mass? But then [tex]\theta[/tex]0 varies with the resulting particle of mass m1 you choose, cuz they're resulting particles from different original particles differently oriented. If this is so, then how do they measure the solid angle d[tex]\omega[/tex]??? And another question: how do they obtain eq. 16.8?? I mean, I know they differentiate v2 and all that (paragraph between eq 16.7 and 16.8), but d(cos([tex]\theta[/tex]0)) is -sin([tex]\theta[/tex]0)d[tex]\theta[/tex]0!!! WITH A MINUS SIGN!!! When you substitute in eq. 16.7 and obtain eq 16.8, what happened to the sign???
Please, I need your help!!!
Jan21-11, 02:26 PM
Caveat: I may also have misunderstood key points, but I gave it a shot:
Please comment on this, e.g. I'd like to know if I am wrong on any point
I hope my latex expressions are not jumbled/incorrect. Seems to be quite problematic to construct a post containing several latex-expressions, since they are mixed togethereach time i change the post and click on preview. Seems to not even help using the browser reload
Jan21-11, 02:45 PM
Please observe that this paragraph contains text together with formulas.
To translate that in pure mathematical notations, you need to translate properly the words "the fraction is" and "the required distribution" that appear in front of equations 16.7 and 16.8 .
To do that you will write something like
Prob(T < T' < T+dT) = Prob(T < mv²/2 < T+dT) = ...
When you finally arrive at the last expression involving the speeds, you need to extract what is called "a distribution" in the proper way. To do that remember that a distribution f(x) is defined by:
Prob(x < x' < x+dx) = f(x) dx for dx>0
The sign that you are looking for is hidden in the fact that the above definition is valid for dx>0.
If you have other questions, please be a little bit more specific. (I have a headache because of another thread here)
At first sight, this is just a question changing coordinates from L to C and assuming isotropic disintegration in the C system for each particle. It is indeed interesting that the energy distribution in L can be derived and that the energy of the disintegration can be determined by statistical observations in L.
I would be interrested to know a practical application of this.
I don't see an example of disintegration leading to two equal mass fragments.
Spontaneous fission is already much more complicated.
The "gamma rays disintegrate" by electron-positron creation, but do that by transfering momentum to an existing charged particle. Could the Landau example be extended to this pair creation process??
Anyway, as usual, Landau is an excellent reading.
Solving all the exercices is an excellent idea, but you may need to postopone some to use your time more efficiently, unless you are very gifted.
Jan21-11, 09:33 PM
Question on: Classical disintegration of particles, Landau-Lifshitz series on Physics
Thank you so much!!! You both were very helpful, indeed!!!
Yes, I did the integration of the distribution in terms of T, and, as you say, I saw that when [tex]\theta[/tex]0=0 then T=Tmáx, and when [tex]\theta[/tex]0=[tex]\pi[/tex] then T=Tmín; then when you do the integration, the minus sign changes the limits of integration and voilà: you get +1, that is the whole distribution :D THANK YOU!!! And well, then!! I wasn't that far from the right explanation of the situation!!! :D Yeah, what you explained to me makes so much sense!!!
And lalbatros:
Thank you so much too!! You're explanation was something didn't occur to me, and a very clever one!!! And yeah, solving all the problems is indeed very good, but I think I'll take your advice and skip/postpone some of them: I've been "losing" so much time in them!!! D:
As you say, there might be practical applications of this, but I think it's too simplified, so it's more like "introductory". Not to mention that this is Classical Mechanics, and disintegration is a quantic process. As you say, particle disintegration is actually much more complicated. I don't know if Landau explains those phenomena deeper, but I believe he does, in his 3th volume: Quantum Mechanics. And about that electron-positron creation, I'm pretty sure Landau and Lifgarbagez have something to say in their 4th volume of these series: Quantum Electrodynamics.
Thank you so much again :)

Keeps your food cold,ha. This unit fairs well with the 20+ Kenmore it will replace. Seems that for the temps to match mine needed to be set at the max setting, more for the freezer that the fridge. Wish there was an adjustment to divert the cold to one compartment or the other. The layout is different and some plussed and a few minuses. To me the biggy is about dependability and performance, yes it keeps my food cold, thanks.

I just received it and unpacked it and the doors plastic shelving units rattle. They show this caddie which you can not utilize unless you remove it each and every time you want to put something in it. It does not come out with ease. The vegetable draws are so thin and you really can not regulate them. The light bulb got very hot while we were unwrapping everything. I really thought this was going to be an improvement. Maybe it is time to reevaluate this product. I am disappointed. This will be my last Whirlpool product I purchase.

About Me Avid Cook
Comments about Whirlpool Black Top-Freezer Refrigerator:
We needed to replace the old leaking "white" frig. Love that we can put the gallon jugs in the door and that the bins tilt when you open them. Roomy, adjustable shelves. Much nicer and bigger than what we have had in the past.Love that it is a "shiny black" but still holds the magnets, didn't know if it would!Delivery was fast and efficient! Thanks ABT, you always do a nice job and have quality merchandise.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'll soon file a warranty claim. Forty-eight hours after I turned this on with the default 3-snowflake *** setting my frozen foods thawed, ice cream melted, and the refrigerator area was just cool. An infrared thermometer confirmed that the freezer section was right at 32F and the fridge at 42F. After two weeks at 5-snowflakes *****, the half-filled freezer is still only 6F (recommended temperature is 0F) and the half-filled refrigerator at 40.1F (recommended is 37F). Something moans worse than the 34-year-old evaporator fan in the Whirlpool refrigerator this one replaced and the machine clicks and clacks disconcertingly. Also - the plastic drawers have a distinctly cheap feel. The can rack is useless for me. It's significantly deeper than my old refrigerator, and that one wasn't exactly shallow. I hoped this would be a simple replacement for my old, reliable Whirlpool - but it isn't.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

At a stand-up performance in Cincinnati on Friday night Kathy Griffin announced that her Bravo talk show had been canceled. And while there's been no further comment on the matter from her or from Bravo, it's pretty clear she wasn't joking.
The big question is: Where is she going now?
We think we know.
There are two very real possibilities: Griffin could be co-hosting of some kind of new show with Anderson Cooper or joining the lovely ladies of The View.
Last month, Griffin shot a test pilot for CNN with Cooper, whose talk show 'Anderson Live' was also recently (and conveniently) canceled. Griffin and Anderson have been doing New Year's Eve Specials on CNN for a few years now and they make a great team -- her outrageousness plays off his "proper guy" perfectly. They could make a great talk show together and give Kelly & Michael a run for their money.
Here's a little reminder of how the two of them work together:
And then, of course, there's The View. Rumors have been flying that Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Barbara Walters are leaving, but they've died down. We do know for sure, however, that Joy Behar is leaving the show, which means there's an opening for a brash red-headed comedienne and who else is there but .... Exactly. Kathy Griffin.
If she does join the morning coffee klatch and Elisabeth Hasselbeck is staying (hmmm ... maybe she was threatening to leave IF ABC hired Griffin since those two have had a long-going feud), just think of what great TV that will be. Here's a clip from 2010 when Griffin visited the show and got into a brawl little spat with Hasselbeck:
Would you rather see Kathy Griffin team up with Anderson Cooper or with the "ladies" of The View?
I'd rather not see her at all. Ever.
She's a horrible person... I hope she just gets passed over and lost in the hollywood files. The world would be so much the better without her vile.
Hope she just quietly goes away...she is horrible and not funny, just mean. In fact, she is a lot like Rosie O'Donnell and I can't stand her either.

Karin Fossum
Adult Fiction FOSSUM
Summary: Meet Inspector Sejer: smart and enigmatic, tough but fair. At the foot of the imposing Kollen Mountain lies a small, idyllic village, where neighbors know neighbors and children play happily in the streets. But when the body of a teenage girl is found by the lake at the mountaintop, the town's tranquility is shattered forever. Annie was strong, intelligent, and loved by everyone. What went so terribly wrong? Doggedly, yet subtly, Inspector Sejer uncovers layer upon layer of distrust and lies beneath the town's seemingly perfect façade. Critically acclaimed across Europe, Karin Fossum's Inspector Sejer novels are masterfully constructed, psychologically convincing, and compulsively readable. They evoke a world that is at once profoundly disturbing and terrifyingly familiar.

The Sony VAIO VGF-WA1 is a stylish tabletop radio that can stream digital music from your PC, but a few key feature upgrades would have made us like it even more.
Sony's thin, powerful Tap 11 tablet shows up the competition in terms of design. It's not ideal for everyone, but only a few tweaks away from being the runaway leader in this smallish category.
The Sony VAIO PCV-W510G is an attractive addition to any room, but it struggles as a fully realized TV-PC hybrid.
The simple Sony VAIO Port Replicator does the little things well but doesn't do enough for the money.
With slim 13-inch SSD laptops now well under $1,000, Sony's expensive, high-end Z series laptop is a tough sell, although the long-life slice battery and unique GPU/optical dock help make its case.
While there are certainly things to like about the Sony Vaio Duo 11, the design gets in the way of enjoying them.
Sony's unique attempt at a big-screen hybrid looks great and is reasonably priced, but it works better as a laptop than a tablet.
Pricing not available
There may be a lot of touch-screen tabletop Windows 8 tablet PCs, but the Vaio Tap 21 has the looks to compete.
The Sony Vaio Duo 13 is ambitious, but less universally useful than other Windows 8 laptop-tablet hybrids. There may not be a real need for a slider-style PC.
The superthin, superlight Sony Vaio Pro 11 is everything we expect from an excellent ultrabook.

Rip Van Winkle Bluetooth Low Energy Wakes Up, Then Sleeps Again
Bluetooth Low Energy (LE, or BLE, or Smart) is all about sending and receiving data just like any other Bluetooth device, but doing so using much less power. It's ideally suited for M2M applications where a device wakes up, transmits or receives data, then goes back to sleep. The Bluetooth SIG specifies myriad application profiles from healthcare ("Blood Pressure Profile") to Sports and Fitness. At the recent DESIGN West 2013 conference, editor-in-chief Chris A.

Overcoming Advanced Signaling Integrity Issues in High-Speed Systems
As signaling rates continue to increase, maintaining signal integrity has become a much greater challenge for developers. Migrating a system to a next-generation interface operating at 5, 8, 10, or 12 Gbps brings with it increased sensitivity to attenuation and jitter that can severely curtail reach and reliability.
Increasing Precision in Diagnostic Equipment
Precision is at the heart of every diagnostic device. The precision of a system is the degree to which the system will consistently provide the same result given the same operating conditions. Precision is crucial – whether a system is a complex magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensor, an embedded tire pressure sensor, or a low-cost blood glucose meter – because it serves as the foundation for both accuracy and reliability. For example, if a meter's readings between two equivalent samples vary significantly, it will be difficult for the system to determine an appropriate response.
Consolidating Systems for Reduced Cost & Complexity in the Factory
Using virtualization to host multiple discrete workloads on a single computing device is an important trend in manufacturing today, leading to reduced cost and complexity in the factory environment. This white paper describes the benefits of system consolidation along with the technical requirements for implementation. Read now to learn more.
High Density Digital Signal Processing with ATCA
Traditional methods of digital signal processing in military and aerospace applications have used specialized FPGAs, multiprocessor VME or OpenVPX solutions. Advances in microprocessor technology and accompanying software could mean that AdvancedTCA® (ATCA®) has the potential to replace some of those expensive highly specialized elements in complex signal processing applications.

Visual Processing in Rugged Environments
Complex visual processing is becoming an important part of rugged industrial applications. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) of manufacturing lines, Infrared Thermography (IRT) in oil refineries, and traffic safety enforcement are some examples of the ways image and video processing improve quality, efficiency, and safety. However, visual computing in rugged environments has its challenges. Most applications are resource-intensive and include extensive 2D and 3D graphics processing. Tough environmental conditions require fanless designs that limit power and present thermal dissipation challenges. Customers are also pushing for smaller sizes and lower costs.
Improved Graphics Performance Changes the Cost Equation in Digital Signage
The quality and flexibility of digital signage is a function of the graphics processing capability of the media players that drive the displays. To deliver a high level of graphics performance, media players tend to incorporate discrete graphics processing units, although some players use the graphics engine on the CPU platform. Discover how 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processors provide retailers improved graphics performance and anonymous video analytics to deliver audience messaging at lower cost and watt.

This Japanese-Korean grill-it-yourself spot distinguishes itself with a focus on offal--or horumon, meaning something that's thrown away. "Yakitori-horumon" (basically, grilled variety meats) is a restaurant style invented by Korean immigrants to Japan shortly after World War II. Here, it's beef, beef, and nothing but beef. Try a few cold dishes--like sesame-seeded raw beef liver, or boiled Achilles' tendons in chile oil--before turning to your tabletop grill. Bits of wine-dark heart sputter and smoke beefily; sweetbreads turn firm but creamy over the fire. Add a plate of kimchi or crudités with spicy mayo to counteract all that cow.

A large consortium that includes electronics retailers and only today buy real cialis online without prescription manufacturers, the EPA and the Natural Resources Defense Council has agreed to levitra and diarrhea start labeling TVs with environmental impact ratings that are based on criteria beyond energy efficiency such as mercury, lead and other toxic content.
The labeling system is www.markwellgroup.com.au being called E-PEAT-for-TV after the E-PEAT labeling system for computers that is used for all government computer purchases. The rating system will be developed by the Institute of cialis discounted Electrical and Electronics Engineers and administered by the Green Electronics Council and should start appearing on TVs in the next 18 to 24 months.
The labeling system met a lot of resistance from manufacturers, but the long timeline to get the labels in place will most likely be to their benefit. Many consumers will be buying new digital TVs as the cialis for women switch from analog to digital broadcast signals takes place on June 12, which means lots of sales long before the labels show up.
No word yet on the exact criteria and ranking system, but it will likely be similar to the standards used for the original E-PEAT.
via Green Inc.
written by Carl Hage, May 30, 2009
Note the EPEAT test is not a score that quantifies (measures) the amount of toxic or green materials, etc.-- this is a count of brownie points for doing or not doing certain good or bad things, meeting or not meeting some minimum (including energy star). In other words, this is a count of qualitative measures (how many stars were rewarded for green activities), so comparisons mostly measure the size of corporate greenwashing programs. The same problems exist for all the other products. A product from a high scoring company might be much worse for the environment than a product from a lower scoring company, since the EPEAT scores aren't measurements.

|Associate and Associate of Applied Science in Medical Laboratory Technician
This program is designed to provide students with the skills necessary to function in the medical/hospital lab setting. Laboratory tests play an important part in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. Medical laboratory technicians perform a wide variety of tests and laboratory procedures that require a high level of skill. The medical laboratory technician analyzes the blood, tissues, and fluids in the human body by using precision instruments such as microscopes and automated analyzers.
Technicians assist in performing complicated chemical, microscopic, and bacteriological tests including: blood cholesterol level; microscopic examination of the blood to detect the presence of diseases; and cultures of body fluid or tissue samples to determine the presence of bacteria, parasites, or other microorganisms. Technicians may also type and crossmatch blood samples. Each student will be prepared for entry-level medical laboratory positions in the medical lab and hospital setting. Download Program Course Sheet [1]
The Herzing University Medical Laboratory Technician program has a responsibility for the welfare of patients treated or otherwise affected by students enrolled in the program, as well as for the welfare of students in the program. To fulfill this responsibility, the program has established minimum essential requirements that must be met, with or without reasonable accommodation, in order to participate in the program and graduate. Discrimination is prohibited on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, religion or veteran status.
The information below reflects aggregated data from all of the Herzing University campuses that have students enrolled in the specified program in the specified time period. The information does not reflect data regarding individual campuses unless only one campus had students to report. The reporting period used to obtain this data was 7/1/2012-6/30/2013. If there were less than 10 graduates in a program, median loan debt and on-time completion data were not disclosed for that program to protect the privacy of those students.

Beyond hundreds of downloadable apps, adding a range of functionality from social networking to restaurant recommendations, bonuses include a sharp 3.2-inch touchscreen display and 3.2mp camera. Speedy Internet surfing is also a given, as is WiFi capability and video playback/recording, with support for enjoying music and photos integrated, too. Slightly above-average feature readout aside, extensive third-party support really makes it worth keeping on speed dial.www.t-mobile.com / $199.99 PSP GOHalf the size and 40% as chunky as the original, this slick revamp of the popular portable gaming system also stashes the device's d-pad and buttons on a slider located beneath its 3.8-inch screen. More poignantly, however, models additionally ditch the disastrous Universal Media Disc (UMD) format for digitally downloadable amusements. The console's 16 gb of internal memory readily await music, videos and photos, plus new episodes of Gran Turismo and LittleBigPlanet. Our only complaint: Price, as, ergonomics aside, there's presently scant reason to upgrade.www.playstation.com / $249 iPhone3GSAsk Apple, and the "S" represents "speed." We'll go with "sucker" instead. Not that the multimedia-friendly mobile handset-which now loads applications/websites twice as fast and adds an enhanced 3mp camera, better battery life and video recording capability-fails to deliver. But from a digital compass (which rotates maps to the direction you're facing) to multimedia messaging and laptop tethering, upgrades are mostly iterative. As such, you're paying a needless premium. Nevertheless, rocking a feature set this dope, we'll take two, natch.www.apple.com / $199.99 (16GB), $299.99 (32GB) Zune HDAfter having its ass handed to it by the iPod in the portable media player space, Microsoft is doing what any respectable mega-corp would do-responding with a ridiculously over-the-top alternative.

We also dig the TV's four HDMI inputs (great for hooking up your Blu-ray player and PlayStation 3) and ability to pull photos off SD cards via a built-in slot. But the crowning feature?

Sure, if you're at the stadium with your pals and pitchers of beer, it's a blast, but then again, so is pretty much everything else in life. The Bigs 2 knows that, which is why they've arcade-ified baseball, giving players the ability to leap over barns to catch a pop fly, throw a ball quicker than greased lightning and run faster than a sober Paula Abdul would a happy hour. Realistic? No. But then again, is shooting your way out of a dungeon full of zombies? That's what we thought.

A strengthening heartbeat
Your baby is now around 19 centimetres long and weighs about 300 grammes, around 0.6lbs. Her heartbeat is much stronger now and you may be able to feel it yourself if you lie quietly and rest one hand on your abdomen. Your partner may be able to hear the heartbeat if he places his ear on your tummy.
By now her skin become more opaque and is well covered with vernix. She's beginning to prepare her immune system by forming white blood cells, or leukocytes, to help fight disease and infections, and you are passing on your own immune cells to protect her from viruses you've already had for the first few months out of the womb.
You baby is continuing to put fat onto her bones in preparation for birth and her legs are growing to their proportional length – so get ready for her kicks to grow stronger over the coming weeks.
What's happening with Mum?
By now you've probably begun to show enough for other people to notice your pregnancy and may have put on between 4.5 and 6.5 kilos.
You might experience some swelling in your ankles and feet as you become heavier, you can help temper this by drinking plenty of water and resting with your legs elevated. Better news is that the blood supply will also increase to your clitoris, so you may find that sex is particularly enjoyable at this stage of your pregnancy and some women even experience their first orgasms or multiple orgasms.
On the other hand you may be completely turned off sex, which is also perfectly normal. Discussing how you feel about sex honestly with your partner can help you both work through this time of your pregnancy if one or the other of you is not interested in sex.
NB: All pregnancies are different and fetal growth rates vary, this is meant only as an approximate guide to development. If you have any concerns about your developing pregnancy then speak to your doctor.
Caring for your pregnancy
Calcium intake - Calcium is one of the most important minerals for pregnant women, yet many pregnant women simply don't get enough.
Pregnancy for dads - If your partner has been a bit slow to realise his role in pregnancy so far then it's time to nudge him in the direction of this article.
Pregnancy experiences
How to prepare for a girl? - Hi all I have a boy who is nearly five and though I hoped for another one it looks as though I maybe having a girl. Help. I have no idea how to cope with changing girls. Is my house going to turn pink overnight?
Georgina's a little worried, but there's plenty of good advice for her on the forum.
Why not join in the discussions and share pregnancy experiences and advice with other ThinkBaby members in the pregnancy folder?
If you haven't already started your own pregnancy blog it's not too late to start one now. You can email the web address to family or just keep it to yourself. Here's where to start your own blog?

Hi Everybody!
I want to ask your advice....Would you have found it helpful too have been given a directory of foods which are safe to eat. Ie if you have allergies or asthma in your family then you should avoid peanuts during preganancy, which foods contain unpasterised milk, ie some feta cheeses are allowed and some are not. I know how important oily fish is for the healthy development of the babies brain but then the guidelines restrict the amount of fish because of the mercury content. So fresh tuna is restricted but tinned tune is fine. All in all I found it all quite confusing. I am actually a state registered dietitian by background and thought i knew quite a bit about food! However when it came to being pregnant i found myself questioning everything. I often wondered if other pregnant women have the same concerns about foods. Which leads me back to my question 'Would it be useful to have available a directory of foods which are 'safe'. I would appreciate your honest thoughts.
Posted: 19/01/2009 at 14:07
I would say that my midwife did give me a little leaflet thing about what I should and shouldn't be eating but it wasn't until I was 10 weeks pregnant and before that it was mostly guess work - what other people had told me and what I found on the net, so yes a bit of info early on would have been great - obviously the first 3 months are a vital stage in the development of the brain and so on - and I was totally oblivious!
Hope that helps

Uncompromising PositionsPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
When composers stick to an artistic vision despite outside pressures to conform, we call them uncompromising. In this usage, uncompromising is a term of respect — even if we don't particularly like what the composer is doing, we admire that level of determination and focus.
There is a tradition of praising Americans for their uncompromising values, a trait that is seen as particularly powerful in this country. Certainly the last presidential election showed that the majority of Americans favor a leader who scorns compromise in favor of a clear-cut vision of right and wrong.
But there is also a strong tradition of compromise in this country. As the late historian Shelby Foote noted, this nation's government was founded on the principle of compromise, the principle of various parties arguing their points of view and hammering out something that everyone could agree on. The founders of this government, while recognizing the limitations of negotiation, felt it was far preferable to dictatorship.
Many cultures throughout history have placed a high value on compromise. Master Kong noted that when one reflects upon oneself, one realizes the necessity of concern for others. Jesus encouraged his followers to turn the other cheek, and to love their neighbors as they loved themselves. The Buddha taught the concept of Anatman, in which all things are interconnected and interdependent, so that no thing — including ourselves — has a separate existence.
By contrast, cultures that value uncompromising behavior have frequently imposed their wills on others, often engaging in acts of senseless destruction in order to have their way. (Futurist Manifesto: "War, the hygiene of the world.")
In my world, the uncompromising composer is a Romantic fantasy, and a not particularly attractive one at that.
Why a fantasy? Compromise is a fact of our daily lives — We may not want to breath the polluted air in our urban environments, but we do it anyway, because of the cultural benefits we gain. We may not like the horrendous work conditions that the IMF has fostered throughout the world so that a few corporate executives can feel like kings, but we continue to wear the clothes that are sewn together in distant sweatshops, because we don't have the wherewithal (practical and ethical) to make our own.
Those two examples may not be relevant to you, but I guarantee there are other compromises you engage in daily without thinking, or you wouldn't be able to survive.
That's why the desire to be uncompromising is a fantasy. Why do I find it unattractive? Because I am an adult – only infants refuse to adjust themselves to interests and needs outside of themselves. The universe does not revolve around any one of us – the belief that it should is simply immature.
So here's to the composers who engage in intelligent negotiation with their cultures, not for personal gain, but for cultural enhancement. There are a lot of problems in the world composers can't solve. The one skill we spend our lives honing, though, is the ability to convey ideas through sound. It's a form of communication — not the same as language, but communication nonetheless. We can use that skill, if we choose (and I do), to foster enhanced communication among unlikeminded individuals.
If our goal is to prove our incompatibility with the rest of our species, then compromise is evil.
But I believe it is better to look for common ground, even though the search for common ground can be incredibly difficult. If there is even a slight chance that we can find it, it will be worth the trouble. I don't see any incompatibility in being honest and forthright about our values while giving a fair hearing to others.
Mind you, I'm not talking about young composers, who often need to go through a period of ignoring the outside world in order to hear their own voices. But once those voices are found, they should be used to speak to others, not to themselves.
I'm also not saying that there is no place for composers who stubbornly stick to their guns, even when their guns are pointed in destructive directions. I think it's important for our culture to have some impervious people, and I'm perfectly capable of being very stubborn when the time is right. I'm just tired of hearing the term uncompromising tossed around without any regard for its meaning and implications.
So for those of you who insist on being uncompromising composers, best of luck to you. Just do us all one small favor.
Please make sure you know exactly what you are fighting for.

Flower Farm Wedding
photography by: Jake McBride
Explosions of flowers everywhere
We are always focused on gorgeous shots of milestones throughout the event. Jake couldn't have had a better wedding to photograph due to the joint forces of the ultra creative team of Lyndsey Hamilton and Matthew Robbins
From the amazing Lyndsey Hamilton who was the planner at this wedding: White Flower Farm is owned by the bride's father, Eliot Wadsworth. WFF is a world-famous flower farm that grows and exports rare and exotic flowers. The farm also raises livestock. The caterer, Marcey Brownstein, actually used the farm raised beef for the reception meal! "We worked with Eve from the beginning of the planning: hiring all the vendors, orchestrating the details and coordination, and executing the production of the wedding day. The ceremony took place at Litchfield Congregation Church, then guests returned to the farm for the tented reception. The bride wore Vera Wang and then changed into a party dress. The bridesmaids also wore Vera Wang and their dresses were altered to a short version of the original design."
Planner: Lyndsey Hamilton
Designer: Matthew Robbins
Bridal Gown: Vera Wang
Shoes: Manolo Blahnik

It is well-documented that Alagille syndrome affects multiple organs, such as the liver, heart, kidneys and skeleton, but we are just starting to explore how it affects the pancreas. Researchers previously thought that the poor growth and malnutrition associated with this disorder were only a result of bile flow stoppage (also called cholestasis), which in turn contributes to the body's inability to absorb fat. Now medical professionals are beginning to realize that the pancreas may also be playing a role in fat malabsorption in AGS.
The pancreas is important for the digestion and absorption of nutrients. It is made up of two separate parts, each with a unique function. The first, the endocrine pancreas, makes hormones — including insulin and glucagon — that help regulate the body's sugar balance. The second part, known as the exocrine pancreas, makes enzymes that help digest food and release the bicarbonate that neutralizes stomach acid. If the pancreas is not making enough of these enzymes and acid buffers, a person is said to be pancreatic insufficient.
Children who are pancreatic insufficient do not properly absorb fat from food, which is called fat malabsorption, and excrete fat in their stools. Stools of children with fat malabsorption are often loose, greasy and not well-formed. Based upon past and ongoing studies of Alagille patients, we estimate between 30 and 40 percent of children with Alagille syndrome are pancreatic insufficient, which may, in turn, contribute to their poor nutrition and growth.
Pancreatic exocrine function can help determine if your child is pancreatic insufficient; it can be tested both directly and indirectly.
A healthy child older than 6 months should absorb more than 93 percent of his or her dietary fat. It is not abnormal for healthy infants to excrete up to 15 percent of dietary fat. If a child is absorbing less than 93 percent, he or she is said to be fat-malabsorbing. Pancreatic insufficiency is one cause of fat malabsorption. Liver disease can also be a contributing factor.
If tests determine your child is pancreatic insufficient, he or she will receive pancreatic enzyme supplementation. Pancreatic enzymes supplements, taken before meals, help to digest or break down food so the body can absorb nutrients.
Doctors can indirectly assess pancreatic function with a 72-hour stool collection, in combination with a three-day dietary record, to determine how much fat a child is absorbing from the food he or she is eating. Because this collection is usually done at home, you will be given the supplies and instructions you need. All stools are collected in pre-weighed containers for 72 hours and frozen. Everything your child eats during these three days must be weighed and recorded. The laboratory then determines the amount of fat absorbed (coefficient of fat absorption). Unfortunately, this test cannot distinguish between fat malabsorption due to liver disease and fat malabsorption due to pancreatic diseases.

Mom on Dealz » Kids Frugal Fun & Crafts » Kids Frugal Fun-Egyptian Cartouche
Kids Frugal Fun-Egyptian Cartouche
As a former teacher I love doing crafts with my son and integrating learning into them. Each week I bring you a craft that is fun, educational, and frugal! November 4th is King Tut Day to celebrate the date of the discovery of King Tutankhamen's Tomb. My first public school job was 2nd grade so we did A LOT of Egytian lessons. One of my favorites was always helping the kids create their own cartouche. A cartouche is a basically a name plate for royalty in Ancient Egypt. I usually had my students copy heiroglyphics to spell out their name but since Will is a bit young for that, I have tweaked this craft to fit his age. If you have missed past kids frugal fun crafts, check them out here! Also, don't forget to read the entire post to see educational activities at the bottom!
Egyptian Cartouche
Construction Paper
1 Piece of Cardboard
1. Cut an oval from the construction paper and the cardboard.
2. Glue the construction paper on top of the cardboard.
3. Write your child's name on the paper.
4. Have your child browse the magazine and pick out pictures that represent their favorite things.
Educational Activities:
- Language Arts: Help your child identify the letters of their name on the cartouche. When browsing the magazine, have your child also find pictures that start with the same letters as their name.
- Social Studies/History: Explain to your child that Ancient Egyptians used Heiroglyphics to communicate and record history. Tell them that heiroglypics is basically "picture writing". Have your child describe other family members by drawing pictures or finding more pictures to represent them in the magazine.
- Math: Have your child count how many letters in their name and how many pictures they cut and glue on the cartouche. Also discuss the shape of the cartouche (an oval).
A wonderful way to store this as a keepake is to use a laminator. By laminating your child's crfts, they will stay in great shape for years to come!
