Asperger's, dyslexia and a host of other mental disorders are getting an official makeover.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders — published by the American Psychiatric Association — is being revised for the first time in almost 20 years. Known as the DSM, the manual is considered the main diagnostic tool among psychiatrists.
While some are touting the DSM's new edition — its fifth — as necessary and beneficial, others are concerned that there will be consequences for students seeking assistance for mental disorders.
Many universities' disabilities services are already preparing for the changes, which will be made public when the DSM-5 is published in May 2013.
Dorjes Jennette, a psychologist at the University of California – Davis' Student Health and Counseling Services, wrote in an email that staff will be trained to recognize and treat disorders according to the DSM changes.
"Changes to the DSM have the potential to improve the identification of problems causing significant distress and difficulty functioning among college students," she wrote. She added that this would help "expedite access to appropriate care."
Lorraine Wolf, director of Boston University's Disability Services, explained that she and her staff are already meeting more extensively with students.
"It's an opportunity to talk to students with [diagnoses] that may have changed or been lost under [the] new system," she said. "It's a good opportunity to understand the impact for the individuals."
Wolf added that, because the Americans with Disabilities Act is being revised in conjunction with the DSM, she doesn't foresee major changes in care.
"The ADA has shifted scope to broaden the range of eligibility," she said.
"We may come up with new forms for some of these changes. The main difference will be getting used to it, and getting used to new names," she said.
"But the process will be same. Students will provide documentation of the condition and explain how the illness affects them on campus, and we'll come up with services," she added.
While some conditions will be lumped together into broader terms — the name Asperger's will be dropped and the condition will become part of the autism spectrum disorder, while dyslexia will be one of several "specific learning disorders" — other conditions will be added to the list. Binge eating, hoarding and disruptive mood dysregulation are several of the new additions.
Still others, such as attenuated psychosis syndrome, will be dropped from the official list, at least until further research is completed.
The concern is that some students who initially qualified for care will no longer receive services under the DSM-5.
"The Asperger's name will be eliminated. There's a concern that mild Asperger's patients may not meet the new criteria," Wolf said.
Others are concerned that the elimination of attenuated psychosis syndrome, a condition used to describe young adults who have heard whispers in their heads, viewed objects as threatening or suffered other subtly psychotic symptoms, could put patients at risk.
"There were field trials for some of the disorders, but they failed trials," said University of California – Los Angelos psychiatrist Helen Lavretsky of the conditions that were dropped. "A lot of technicians were involved and the field made huge efforts to come to a consensus.
"Awareness to families and college counselors will still be raised by including these conditions that need further research in Section III," she added. Attenuated psychosis syndrome will be included in Section III.
But she said she believes that students "should, in general, benefit."
"We're on an upward slope — increasing number of students have been seeking services," said Hilary Gerdes, senior director of the Accessible Education Center at the University of Oregon, "This trend will probably continue."
Jennette agrees. "Students will get the recognition and validation of a more specific diagnosis, nudging students to access much-needed care," she wrote.
"The social implications aren't clear yet. Next year will be a test for this," said Lavretsky.
But Gerdes highlights that a diagnosis is "important, but not critical" to treating students.
"It's a labeling system. In the actual work we do, labeling is less important. What's important is what the students' barriers are," she said.

On Monday, the University of Evansville held a groundbreaking ceremony for new townhouse apartments, which will provide attractive on-campus housing options for approximately 150 upperclassmen.
The kickoff for the $8.5 million project took place at a 10:30 a.m. news conference in the Class of 1959 Gallery and Lounge in the Ridgway University Center.
"We're thrilled to break ground on this project, which represents the next phase of the University of Evansville' facilities master plan,"said UE President Thomas A. Kazee. "We look forward to offering our students a sophisticated, convenient living experience while enhancing the neighborhood around our campus."
Two townhouse buildings will comprise the "Frederick Commons"(between Frederick Street and Weinbach Avenue) and four buildings will make up the "Walnut Commons" (on the north side of Walnut Avenue and Rotherwood Avenue). Half of the townhouses will be complete and available for move]in in August 2013, with others following in October 2013 and January 2014.
The new townhouses are part of UE' facilities master plan, announced in March 2012, which will guide the University' building projects and renovations over the next decade. After an assessment of needs, which included interview and focus group sessions with UE students, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni, student housing emerged as one of four priority areas.
Each two-story townhouse apartment will house four students and includes the following amenities:
Students signed up to live in townhouses during the housing application process in February and March. All townhouses have been filled for the 2013-14 academic year.
UE has contracted with Buckingham Companies, an Indianapolis]based developer, to coordinate the construction and design phases of the project.
"We are thrilled to be a part of the University of Evansville' team in its efforts to provide an enhanced environment for learning, living, and community,"said Brad Chambers, president and CEO of Buckingham Companies. "Our focus for this project is to assist the University of Evansville in fulfillment of its current and long]term vision for campus growth and innovation and to make the University of Evansville a first]choice educational option."
Participants in today' groundbreaking ceremony included UE' Larry Kremer, chairman of the Board of Trustees; Thomas A. Kazee, president; Jeff Wolf, vice president for fiscal affairs and administration; Dana Clayton, vice president for student affairs and dean of students; Tyler Best, president of the Resident Students Association and a religion and political science major from Elizabeth, Indiana; Melanie Bacaling, member of the Student Housing Committee and a music performance and psychology major from Gurnee, Illinois; Brad Chambers, president and CEO of Buckingham Companies; and Jeff Beidl, development manager with Buckingham Companies.

After an hour of gathering up his courage, a shy guy finally approaches the hot girl at the end of the bar. "Um, would you mind if I chatted with you for a while?"
She yells, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight, you pig!"
Everyone in the bar stops and stares. Completely embarrassed, the guy slinks back to his table with a red face.
After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes. She smiles and says, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. I'm a graduate student in psychology, and I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing public situations."
To which the guy responds as loudly as possible, "What do you mean $200 for a BJ?"

|Same here, maybe
It was either '72, because I think I was in kindergarten, or '74, because I thought the final was 49-0 only we left early when it was 42-0. So maybe we didn't leave early and it was only ever 42-0. I dunno. It's hard to tell when you're 5. Or 7.
Anyway, it was at once too much to comprehend and also quite a bit understated. The Big House is so big when you're little and it's full of people and you're coming in at kind of the middle, so it goes up a long ways and down a long ways ... but Minnesota back then was hardly a challenge, so it wasn't much more than a scrimmage, I think, especially not to the untrained eyes of a kid just learning about sports.
And then we left for the Land that Football Forgot, and I have not been back for a game. I had a chance in 2000, but, um ... it didn't seem like the right reason to ask permission to leave the state.
Anyway, I did see the 2008 48-42 loss to Purdue in West Lafayette. I had a friend at the time who liked to organize outings to games with people from both sides - at the time, it seemed cute, but looking back (and taking other things into account), it was maybe a bit sadistic. So I sat with a couple of Michigan-only fans in the crappy end zone section that was recently demolished, surrounded by Purdue fans, and watched a game that was exciting for about half the fans in the stands (obvs by then Purdue was selling a lot of tickets to away fans). I couldn't get my friend to understand why I wasn't excited by the win: a bad Purdue team (thankfully, Tiller's last) losing to a bad Michigan team. (I kind of root for the team that is better to win so that at least one of them has a chance at a good season ... so in football it's pretty much always Michigan.)

|Yeah, if you go back and watch,
CR7 found himself offside on a number of occasions, and on at least one, he basically just stood there, knowing he was so far offside he'd never get back. On another, he had 3-4 of his teammates with him. Nothing like timing the offside trap so that the entire attacking section of your opponent is offside.
Contrast that with Dempsey's goal, where IIRC the Portuguese defender is sliding to prevent a cross, but by his presence also preventing anyone from being offside.

|Let me be the first
to express my concern about the value of Ronaldo's playing career; if it's truly in the balance, I think we can all agree that the important thing is the health of the player, and naturally that would mean resting his knee, starting immediately, rather than putting further strain on it.

|In literal terms, I don't think there is one
At least one site has the US as 250-1 to win the World Cup ... in 2013, one oddsmaker had the longest shot to win the conference, Illinois, as 100-1. (I haven't seen 2014 odds yet?) So from that perspective, it's probably Purdue: not gonna happen, next question.
Even if you were looking at, say, the World Cup vs. the Hot New Play-Off Thing, the US is more like Northwestern, I think: once upon a time, they gave it a good run, but things were a lot different back then, and except for one crazy run where they came up well short, since then, they've never really had a chance at all. The quality simply isn't there.
With respect to getting out of the group stage, they probably have a better shot to do that than Michigan does to win the Big Tenteen, although the concerns could be similar: a lot of questions about offense, with a defense that's doing what it can but sometimes has unfortunate lapses. One really talented guy can't carry the offense himself; even with two or three really good players, you've still got other guys on the field that have to do their thing, too.

|Wigan players unable to convert chances?
(tries to find shocked face)
(fails badly)
Figueroa contributed well to the Latics, as Espinoza does now, but IIRC it's been years since they had a consistent goal-scorer that wasn't on loan from United. Injury troubles on the back line eventually dropped them to the Championship, and Coyle's mismanagement gave them a deficit that may have affected their playoff odds, but scoring pretty much overcomes everything if you can get it, and they haven't done that consistently ... so I'm not too surprised to see a couple of their name players continue that in international play.

|Purdue grad chiming in
One of the hotly-debated issues on Purdue blogs this year was exactly how much leadership they had in the first place: whether this was even more of a blow or whether it was addition by subtraction (see: Guptill and Di Guiseppe). Given Painter's consistent comments throughout the season, I lean toward the latter.
Purdue does return three of their four most efficient players, in Smotherman, Davis, and Stephens, but as with Carroll (9.9% of possessions), none of them were even in the Significant Contributor range. The two who were Major Contributors are Hammons and Scott, and neither of them posted numbers to be thrilled about. (Scott's ORtg was 91.4, using 25.8 of possessions, the highest figure on the team. MIGHT BE A PROBLEM)
With the offense at its worst since Painter's first year (cleaning up the mess that Keady left) and the defense rapidly approaching that, another hot topic has been whether Painter is a good coach/recruiter who's struggling to find the right combination, or if he just got lucky with Moore, Johnson, and Hummel, and basically rode that group to an extension he did not deserve.
People in the former camp ask for patience and want to give Painter a couple of years to straighten this out. Without knowing the details of the buyout clause in Painter's contract, I can't be sure if that will happen, but I would not be surprised if he had exactly one more season to fix things.
Purdue has finished alone in last place in the conference five times in league history. Painter was the coach for two of them: 2005-06 (the first year after Keady) and this year. If it happens again next season, I can't see Burke retaining him. Gutting the football and basketball programs at the same time kind of affects your ability to generate revenue, and Burke is sensitive to that.
If Painter stays, I agree that it will take a while to turn things around. I don't think there are signs in his recent recruiting classes that he can draw another group of Baby Boilers and rebuild the team quickly. If he goes, a quick rebuild is possible, depending on who's available and interested. The Purdue job can be a decent one, given the relative importance of men's basketball on campus (i.e. above football), but it might also be perceived as a position where the rebuilding task is greater than most coaches might want to try in a power conference.

|Did someone say "fan of Michigan and Detroit teams"?
But wait, there's more! As an added bonus, I also root for my alma mater, you know, the Big Ten school that backed into a CBI invite and had the worst power-conference football team in the country. (Also the one that lost a regular-season volleyball match in five sets at home to Northwestern (??) and got whacked in the regional final by Wisconsin after crushing overrated Missouri at Missouri and sweeping Illinois at Illinois.)
And as awesome as the FA Cup final was, that was followed shortly thereafter by Wigan being relegated to the Championship, sleepwalking through much of the first half of that campaign, and then collapsing in Europa League play after being in position to qualify for the knockout stage with two matches left and their destiny in their hands.

|Another thing about Linehan
is that he does not insist on running the ball when the team is not good at it. In 2011 (let's forget 2012 - no, really), the Lions were 31st in rushing attempts, just 10 carries ahead of a 4-12 Tampa Bay team that was probably worse than their record. He didn't go away from the run because the Lions sucked, he did it because the running game sucked.
Of course he also had/has Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson and a bunch of receivers not named Calvin Johnson who can still get open from time to time, and Borges does not (although Borges has a TE who can catch, at least until he officially becomes a WR), and Detroit is running the ball more this season because they have a back who can run in that offense ... but that just means Linehan is tailoring his play calls to the ability of his players. He is not calling power run after power run and hoping that his opponents magically do not detect the huge POWER RUN indicator in six-foot-tall letters above the formation he's just sent in.

|1972 as well
although I was just 5, so other than "we played Minnesota" and "we beat them handily", I couldn't really remember anything else for sure. Oh ... also "the stadium is the most biggest thing ever." (Which is probably the case even if you are not five years old.)
For years I was convinced that we had left early and that it was actually a 49-0 game. (I lucked into a ticket when a friend's family had an extra one for some reason, and we moved three years later, so by the time I was old enough to wonder, it was too late to ask.)
So it was pretty much what you'd expect at the time: not Ohio? Then it'll be an easy win.
That turned out to be the only home game I've seen (see: moved three years later), so Michigan's averaging 42 points per home game I see in person. I should make plans for the Ohio game.

|What's interesting to me
is that the punting and field-goal decisions basically come from the same idea: never mind trying to win, just don't make the loss look too bad. (So you punt to make the other team drive farther for the next TD, or kick a FG to lose by 32 instead of 35.)
And it may be just perception - although I trust you more than my general ideas, because you have data at your fingertips - but it does seem like the current changes are only about punts. Coaches still love them some FGs, even if they are relatively long attempts (a 40+ kick in the NFL is no sure thing; in college, it's even less certain).

|Sure, in a normal game
but that's the problem that USF has. They're so bad that there are some situations where no decision is any good.
I mean, 6 for 26. They were 19 of 40 against McNeese State. If there were ever a modern team for which the quick kick was designed, it's USF.
|1 year 2 weeks ago
|South Florida's decision was definitely correct
They ended up averaging 2.5 yards per play, both passing (!!) and running, were 1-13 overall on third down (with the conversion by penalty, of course), and were facing a team with an offense nearly as bad as theirs. Their previous possession ended on a failed 4th-and-4 from the Spartans' 32, the only USF fourth-down attempt of the game. Their only hope to cut into that deficit was to give the ball back to MSU and force them to run some plays ... sadly, it didn't work out, but in this particular case, I think it was the right call.
On the other hand, on the second play of the fourth quarter, South Florida punted from their own 8 ... for 15 yards. (Sparty did get a touchdown on that drive, but not before ending up with a 3rd and 21.) So ... maybe the problem was not punting on third down.
We were watching that game in preparation for the big one. It was one of the worst offensive showings I've ever seen, and my family had season tickets to IU games in the late '70s.

|Carlson's long was 48
and he was no stranger to kicks from 40-49. (H/T Bentley. No Rose Bowl box? Anyway, it says 1938-78, but 1989-1991 are there too.)
Kicks by game, with misses in parens:
Notre Dame: none
1-1 under 20
That was some solid kicking.

|The thing about big schools
is that people who haven't gone to one seem to have this idea that every day, everyone on campus runs around in random directions all the time, so you can't possibly see anyone more than once, because OMG TENZ OF THOUSANDZ OF PEEPUL OMG. (The best is when they now live in NYC or San Francisco or Chicago and can tell you about how they always run into this one couple on the way home from work. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.)
But when you consider only the people that have classes at the same time on a particular day, and then only the people that actually get up and go to those classes, and then only the people who are heading to class in the same direction, from the same direction, suddenly it's not such a big group after all.
Exactly how this works probably differs a bit depending on how campus is laid out - at Purdue, campus was/is basically one area, so even if you live off-campus, you're going to head in basically the same direction, so the group of Potentially Identifiable People is larger. If your destinations are spread out more, you're looking at even smaller groups, probably to the point where you can look out your window and see Hat Guy going by and think "crap, he's the last guy on time to class, I'm late".

|makes sense
given that Indiana-Purdue is protected, it's probably easier to keep seven matchups the same across those two years and then do the same moving forward.

Stevens wouldn't leave for another NCAA job, but Lickliter and Matta had no trouble leaving the Horizon for the Big Ten. I would imagine the next coach will be more like the latter two than Stevens.

|Minor correction
In 1984, Purdue went to - and lost in - the Peach, not the Cotton. (It would be their last bowl appearance until the 1997 season.) The only team ever to appear in the Cotton Bowl as a member of the Big Ten was Ohio in the 1986 season. (Maryland, Nebraska, and Penn State went in their previous lives.)
The Peach Bowl was actually a cruel joke. I was a freshman at Purdue the following season; I can still remember seeing the occasional band member wearing their Peach Bowl jacket. With my Michigan background, I was accustomed to annual bowl games, and with Purdue returning senior QB Jim Everett and coming off a bowl appearance, I thought I'd be able to watch some quality football. (I was partly right - some pretty good teams came to visit Ross-Ade in those days.)

|The ninth-worst offense, actually
the worst and best rankings use the same order (rather than putting worst at the top and 10th-worst at the bottom).
The second-worst offense is a Gary Nord offense, which comes as no surprise to anyone, period.

go away, MSU.

|Purdue's monster-in-the-middle
is Mr. Hammons, btw.
This is good stuff. I think it reinforces the idea that context is really important for defensive statistics ... for example, Purdue's strong defensive efficiency (moreso in non-conference play after last night's beating) is really "Purdue's DE with A.J. Hammons at center". It isn't a coincidence that they're 10th in DE in Big Ten play and that Hammons has been in foul trouble in every conference game against non-terrible competition (fouled out against Iowa, 4 fouls against Illinois, MSU, and Ohio, 3 fouls including 2 early against IU).
|1 year 34 weeks ago
|well, that's the thing
A block simply means making contact with and appreciably altering a shot that is subsequently missed; it may or may not result in a change of possession. (And that's one reason to not get too caught up in analysis: a block can be deflected to a defensive teammate for a fast break, knocked into an offensive player's hands for a kind-of Kobe assist, swatted out of bounds, or who knows what, and all of them count as 1 block.)
It's like how blocking a kick doesn't count as a turnover in football. (Even stopping a fourth-down attempt isn't a turnover.) The name of the category is a simplification, so it covers some things it probably shouldn't and doesn't cover some things it probably should.

The cabinet theory isn't particularly interesting. I like the bar fight theory better - corruption of "Whose ear?" - if only because it's dumber and thus more likely to be true.

Kawann Short is very good at blocking kicks. This is probably not a surprise, given his strength and position, but is worth noting.
|1 year 51 weeks ago
|Morgan Burke's been doing that for 20 years
a little drinking isn't going to change it much. Well, other than the fact that the stadium is uphill from the bars (and some of the tailgating areas). Bad planning.
Burke's approach, and that of George King before him, was that by God this is Big Ten football and you are going to show up. Actually improving the quality of the product on the field wasn't really a consideration (Exhibit A: every single coach under those guys; Tiller had partial success by running an offense people hadn't seen before and getting lucky with Brees, as much as it pains me to say).
Hiring a guy with no I-A experience on nothing more than Tiller's say-so did a lot to kill attendance. True, bar drinking does have a way of keeping people from getting to the game itself, but who wants to sober up watching Purdue fart away a lead against a MAC school or get crushed in Big Ten competition? (Not every game can be as exciting as you-know-which-one ...) And really, there can't be more than a thousand or so in the bars. That wouldn't even make a dent in IU's Memorial Stadium.
Burke seems to assume that he can focus on building competitive programs in other sports (which, TBH, he's done a pretty good job at) and that football will simply take care of itself. Younger fans might prefer to watch BTN; older fans have been through this many times already, thank you, no need to spend money on another 6-6 team. (It was one thing to have optimism in the mid-'80s with Jim Everett, or in the '00s with NFL-caliber QBs and Curtis Painter. Now, though ...) Burke's fortunate that a number of Big Ten schools travel well, or there'd be a much more noticeable drop in attendance.
|1 year 51 weeks ago
|that is easy to explain
aside from his having played for Ohio: Purdue has been less unimpressive, compared to recent seasons, than pretty much all other Big Ten teams, and everyone likes to be the first to spot a potential trend, so he's simply jumping on the bandwagon. Purdue: sucks less than other Big Ten teams. (Also, thanks to Wisconsin's collapse, the East Division is terrible. All Purdue has to do to win the title - ha ha! - is suck less than Wisconsin and then get lucky in the title game. Hope has shown he can get about one good game a year out of the Boilers, although unfortunately for him, they can't play Ohio in Indianapolis - that's who the good game tends to be against.)
Purdue's done a fairly good job containing Denard in the past. That seems less likely this season, given the overall suckiness of the LB corps. But then Borges could easily counter that by calling more I-formation plays and making Denard turn his back on Kawaan Short. Of course, what he should be doing is running a bunch of spread option plays, because ever since Tiller brought basketball-on-grass to West Lafayette, Purdue has been surprisingly unable to defend running QBs, which is pretty weird given that they should be practicing against some of those very same plays every week, yes? (Well, when you have someone like Painter running option plays, it's, uh, not quite the same.)
Marve was definitely the better QB prior to the latest injury, which is why APQBHG struck him down. (With an injured knee, he's most definitely a downgrade from CTB.) Henry is really the worst option of the "three", but don't worry, Gary Nord strongly believes in rotating QBs, because nothing strikes fear in an opposing coordinator's heart like facing the third- or fourth-best QB on the other team, so I'm sure he'll get some snaps Saturday. They will likely be running plays.
Prior to the Marshall game, consensus was that at least Purdue was bashing weaker teams, something they did not do in the past, and possibly, if ND was good, the Boilers might actually have a 7-5 team or something this season ... and with the conference looking so poor, maybe they could make a run. After that game, the usual questions about the defense and Nord's play-calling arose. (Also also, poor special teams play. There's this thing with covering kick and with missing XPs.)
So who knows? Purdue played a solid defensive game in South Bend, and they've moved the ball pretty well against bad competition. If Michigan's defense plays that role, it could be a problem. Purdue also just took a four-touchdown lead against a terrible team and desperately tried to throw it away; if they allow Denard to do what Cato did, they will not have to worry about blowing halftime leads, because they will not have one.

|back in another life
I saw a game in SEC country against an SEC team, even if it was a bowl game and thus not at all the same thing. (The '87 Peach Bowl, Indiana and Tennessee. This was back when my allegiance was divided among hometown and 10 years of childhood and current school, and only one of those three was providing relatively cheap bowl opportunities.) I don't recall anything obnoxious from Tennessee fans - quite the opposite, actually - but of course Indiana, so even in the Bill Mallory era, I mean, why bother? (And still the Knight era, so anything like "you should go back to playing basketball" would backfire spectacularly.)
I saw two other bowls in SEC country, but neither against an SEC team (Florida State and then-independent South Carolina). It would be fun to go back and see one in a real stadium.

|Two field goals and a two-point return.
Michigan botches the snap on its eighth TD. A UMass guy grabs the ball and takes off. No one really chases after him because it's 55-6.
|2 years 2 weeks ago
|'hopefully' is not the right word
given that Indiana just beat them 45-6 at home. I'd say a thrashing is the minimum requirement - I would prefer to see a walk-on fourth quarter.

Final Design of NRHS New Business Model Now Available
In June, a special committee was charged by the NRHS Board of Directors to create a new business model that would a) stabilize the society's financial situation and b) transform NRHS into a modern society with a vital purpose. After working through the summer, the final results of the New Business Model Committee can now be publicly viewed and downloaded by visiting https://admin.nrhs.com/public//
Featured Programs
Significant Changes Coming As NRHS Stands at a Crossroads
Nearly 80 years after its founding, the NRHS stands at a crossroads. Just as the railroad industry transformed itself to adapt to changing times, so too must the NRHS form a new identity to survive. The society can no longer sustain itself with the same financial and membership model that has been used since 1935. Cost-cutting alone is not enough.
As a result, we have formed a New Business Model Committee that will design a concrete vision for our future, including a new financial model that provides long-term stability while strengthening our core mission of rail preservation. In September, this new model will be presented to the NRHS Board of Directors. The board will then make their final decision to approve or reject the new business model. See the complete story here.
2014 NRHS Election results Announced
The 2014 NRHS Election results were announced August 25 and Al Weber, District 6 Director, was named president for the 2014-2016 term of office. He will succeed Greg Molloy, who has served as president since 1994. Weber and all newly-elected NRHS board members will take office during the November 14-16 Fall Conference in Johnson City, TN.

New report highlights rise in certified pre-owned sales, projects continued growth in 2014.
McLEAN, Va., June 17, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Certified pre-owned (CPO) sales should surpass 2013's all-time high of 2.1 million vehicles this year, says the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Used Car Guide in the May edition of NADA Perspective, a monthly industry trends report.
After growing rapidly at the beginning of the 2000s, CPO sales experienced incremental gains in the years that followed. Hindered by higher costs and limited awareness, CPO sales increased by a marginal 200,000 units from 2003 to 2011, and deliveries consistently fell between 1.5 and 1.7 million units over the period.
"Sales for certified pre-owned vehicles really began to take off in 2012, due in part to recovering auto demand and an increased awareness of CPO vehicles among the more value-conscious post-recession consumer," said Jonathan Banks, executive automotive analyst of NADA Used Car Guide. "As consumer awareness continues to grow and late-model supply increases, CPO sales are on pace to hit another record this year."
Already in 2014, CPO sales through April are up 11% from last year and well ahead of the 3% rise in new and used vehicle sales. Per NADA Used Car Guide's used vehicle supply forecast, late-model supply is expected to grow 8% in 2014 and another 9% in 2015. Combined, the 17% increase through 2015 will act as an additional catalyst for CPO sales.
Brands experiencing the largest increases in late-model supply have also realized some of the biggest gains in CPO sales. For example, NADA estimates that late-model supply for Kia and Subaru grew by 17% and 13% in 2013, respectively, figures exceeded only by VW's 20% rise. Kia and Subaru were also at the top of last year's leaderboard for non-luxury CPO sales growth, as deliveries for the two increased by 72% and 45%, respectively. CPO sales for VW rose by a more modest 9% in 2013.
With demand and supply now moving solidly in the right direction, CPO vehicle sales should achieve meaningful growth over the next few years. Cultivating consumer understanding of CPO benefits will play a lead role in dictating how quickly and how high certified sales grow.
Many shoppers are unaware that CPO vehicles are rigorously reconditioned to factory standards and come with an extended warranty. CPO affordability is also a concern, but NADA's analysis shows that actual CPO premiums are lower than those considered tolerable by consumers in a recent AutoTrader.com study.
"To maximize growth, manufacturers will need to enhance marketing efforts that clearly outline CPO benefits to consumers," said Banks. "Having a better understanding of CPO premiums should help certified consideration as well. To help with this, shoppers can go to nadaguides.com to get a realistic idea as to what CPO costs are by brand and model."

This High Flyer Just Dropped a Bomb
Matthew is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
You can draw a pretty nice correlation between watching birds and watching stocks. From a distance watching birds can be quite entertaining (just ask my cat), sometimes they soar majestically and then there are those that mistake the window for who knows what. Stocks can act in much the same way, flying high after one earnings report and seemingly hitting the window the next. Like their feathered friends, quite the mess can come from out of nowhere.
That's one reason why I like to watch high flying technology stocks from a safe distance at first. You never know when they're going to drop said mess right on your portfolio. For a while now I've been watching InvenSense (NYSE: INVN) before adding shares of this mobile player to my paper trading portfolio. Their most recent quarterly report was interesting to say the least.
The big bomb dropped on shareholders came by announcing that Founder, CEO and Chairman Steven Nasiri would be stepping down the very next day. While he'll continue to serve on the board and serve as an executive of the company through the end of the year, it's an odd turn of events. He's being replaced by fellow board member Behrooz Abdi. The problem is that there were no further details and that wasn't received well by the market.
Investors don't like uncertainty and kicking the founder out of the company for no apparent reason causes a lot of concern. If they said he was going to pursue other interests or even wanted to spend time with his family it wouldn't seem so odd. Something happened and until we know more it's a fairly bright red flag.
While the goings on in the C-Suite caught the market's eye, the underlying business is doing just fine. More of their motion sensor technology is making its way into smartphones and tablets as evidenced by a 28% year-over-year rise in revenue and a 19% increase in net income. Meanwhile their cash stash rose by 5.5% and is now 16% of their market cap. Shares might seem expensive at about 30 times trailing earnings but looking ahead that number drops to a mid-teens ratio by 2014.
A good reason for the falling multiple is that they are expecting a 35% rise in revenue next year. While that guidance is down from the 40% to 50% range they had been estimating, it's still a pretty healthy clip. Not to mention that it is based on existing product wins leaving room for some upside potential. That upside could come if the company can branch out from their current customer base.
While said customer base is a who's who of the mobile industry they do lack one key customer in Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). What's interesting is that InvenSense attaches most of their sensors to products running on ARM Holding (NASDAQ: ARMH) chips. That company just happens to supply the chips that are typically in Apple's mobile products. Instead of attaching an InvenSense sensor, Apple instead uses STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM). This is an opportunity for InvenSense if they can match their technology to Apple's desire for maintaining superior margins.
InvenSense is still a very small and very fast growing company. For some context, STMicroelectronics generates about $2.2 billion in revenue each quarter while InvenSense generates just $200 million per year. Meanwhile, Apple's cash hoard could generate enough interest income to buy InvenSense whole in just one year. Finally, while ARM enjoys a premium multiple thanks to their cozy relationship with Apple, its InvenSense that analysts expect to grow earnings faster over the next five years at 25% annually against 18% for ARM.
Despite the potential for a lot of future growth, the abrupt CEO departure just doesn't sit well. I'd like to watch the company one more quarter just to make sure there are no more nasty surprises to be dropped on shareholders. The future is bright, and the price is right but something still seems amiss.

Wadi HIBI
Trip to Wadi Hibi is about half an hour drive from Sohar. Driving from Globe round about in a direction left while coming from Muscat, the drive test centre and Galfar training camp are en route lined on both sides by date palms. As the rows of trees ends, the drive to wadi hibi starts. Steep slopes and inclines form part of the terrain alongwith some steep curves. Barren rocky hillocks line up both sides and there is inhabited area in between before we reach the wadi just before Wadi hibi. The nature has been remodelled in the last one year (that was the last we had been there). We walked into the shallow stream which hardly flowed. A few tadpoles and fishes occasionally stirred the otherwise stationery water.

YIKES!!!!!! The capabilities of our iPhones and technology as a whole never ceases to amaze me!!! better watch random iDevices laying next to your macbook or porta-PC in university and or starbucks now!
Wow this is incredibly powerful and it could be used for good and bad but I bet it would mostly be used for bad.
How is it able to tell which key you press, it's not like each key on a keyboard is set up to make a different vibration
I could use this. Mahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahah ahahahah
(Dr. Evil)
This is nonsense. No vibrations are the same for two keyboards. You'd need to callibrate the iphone for every keyboard and surface its on. There are way too many variables to standardize such a technique. They probably tested this in a really controlled environment.
It has nothing to do with the type of keyboard from what I understand....it's all about the distance from *any* keyboard...if it's a few inches to the left of the keyboard, the vibration from the A key will be stronger than that of the L key. That along with how precise the accelerometer is will allow you to decipher the keys pressed. It's really quite fascinating.
Also, we're not looking at 99+%, but only ~80% correct prediction rate. This cannot be reliably used as-is in incredibly sensitive (e.g., one-try logins) situations... Honestly, it's probably enough effort to get the whole thing working accurately enough that only high-level espionage firms and/or hackers would use it. I'd also anticipate that they would be going after things secured by more than a static password (that can be keylogged by far easier and/or more conventional methods).
Will this kind of thing affect iPhones that are not jailbroken? I'm thinking that if Apple can authorise an App that runs tethering in the background then something like this may also go unnoticed.
I mean, gimme a break guys! The number of points of failure make this impossible for any practical purpose unless you are an agent of the CIA -- in which case you already have a good bag full of tricks to gather intel that are much more reliable.
That's not going to happen. I work in the field of robotics and automated systems, It have a lot of variables so it can be possible. A lot of things can influence the gyroscope around that iPhone, air, noises, voices, frequencies, just the simple movement of the mouse or keyboard, all of those things and more cause vibrations. If you tell me that maybe with the camera can detect the movement or keyboard due to one specified pattern, ok maybe I can believe it, but with the gyroscope just detecting vibrations... naaaah I got to see that by myself. How it can detect the vibration on one specific key, ok like I read in someone post here, each key have his own vibration, just pressing that key with strength or harder can affect the detection, if it is possible I need to say.
"However it goes to show that there's a huge security problem...The app just needs to somehow be installed on the iPhone." How can you say there is a HUGE security problem and then say the app needs to be SOMEHOW installed? To install an app someone would need to know your iTunes password first, and if they have that then you are already doomed.
I'm fairly sure Geohot never spelled his name with a number 0 in it.
Google: geohot
About 3,690,000 results (0.07 seconds)
Google: geoh0t
About 5,380 results (0.07 seconds)
Anyways, great article. This is a really cool concept. I'm sure as accelerometers become more and more advanced that we might actually see technologies such as this.

HOPKINTON - A black bear that has been roaming through many communities in Rhode Island was spotted in Hopkinton Tuesday morning.
The Department of Environmental Management received a call at 5:37 a.m. reporting that the bear was spotted near Reynolds Court, according to Gail Mastrati, a spokesperson for DEM.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆö On Tuesday night, the South Kingstown School Committee held a work session regarding methods to improve the yearly percentage of students graduating from the high school. Invited to speak were the high schoolŌĆÖs administrators and teachers who specialize in helping at-risk students fulfill their graduation requirements.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō The Coastal Resources Management Council postponed a public hearing on proposed experimental coastal erosion control measures planned for Tuesday until July.
It was nearing 9:30 p.m. when Anne Maxwell Livingston, council chair, said she wanted to postpone the hearing, the last item on the councilŌĆÖs agenda, to allow for more discussion time between the coastal council, South Kingstown town staff and South Kingstown town councilors.
NARRAGANSETT- The chambers of the town hall were filled with anxious residents waiting for answers regarding the offshore wind turbines during a work session Wednesday with the Narragansett Town Council and Deepwater Wind.
NARRAGANSETTŌĆöThe University of Rhode Island is working with Green Fins LLC to develop a new industry in Rhode Island raising tuna stocks. The concept is to develop a process by which Rhode Island companies can spawn tuna and raise them for sale.
NORTH KINGSTOWNŌĆöThe town council held a discussion Monday evening regarding the upcoming move of the old town house from its current home next to Cranston Murphy Funeral Home to the Wickford Elementary School site on Boone Street. In April, the Historic District Commission voted unanimously to allow the move so that the funeral home could expand its operations while preserving the structure.
EXETERŌĆöGraduating from high school often leaves students awash in a flood of emotions, from excitement and anticipation to nervousness and even fear. It is a new world beyond high school, but for Exeter-West Greenwich Valedictorian Nathan Stromberg and Salutatorian Ashley Peltier, their memories with teachers and classmates will always remain.
KINGSTONŌĆöAs family members filed into the Ryan Center at the University of Rhode Island this past Saturday, imminent graduates mulled about in the structureŌĆÖs underbelly, giving high fives and relating stories about all the times they spent together in and outside of the classroom. The Exeter-West Greenwich Senior High School Class of 2013 was ready to move on.
NORTH KINGSTOWN—When one hears the word 'tsunami,' dramatic images of devastated coastlines and rushing surges of sea water come to mind. Although less damaging than the tsunamis that struck Indonesia in 2004 or Japan in 2011, Wickford Harbor was struck by a so-called 'mini tsunami' earlier this month, and local scientists have been trying to figure out the cause.
Chuck Ebersole, a member of the Wickford Yachting Club, witnessed the mini-tsunami first hand on June 13 when the tide began to sweep out of Wickford Harbor.
NORTH KINGSTOWNŌĆöSchool committee members engaged in a lengthy debate regarding technology costs at North Kingstown schools on Tuesday evening, scrutinizing the purchase of $172,000 worth in laptops and equipment. The school department has deemed the purchase necessary in order to comply with the upcoming PARCC assessments, which are scheduled to replace the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) testing in 2014.

Heart Center: MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive technique used to detect heart defects. MRI uses a powerful magnet, radio waves and a computer to take very clear pictures of the heart and blood vessels in the chest.
Some patients experience claustrophobia from lying in the magnet for a prolonged period, so a sedative is provided to calm them. Cardiac MRIs performed on young children often require general anesthesia.
Before the Scan
Before bringing your child to Children's for an MRI, it is important to talk to them about the scan and to discuss what they can expect. Depending on your child's condition, he or she may require sedation. If they are older, it is important to stress the importance of following the MRI operator's instructions. The day of the exam, technologists will further explain the scan to your child and will be happy to answer any questions.
Since the MRI machine is a large magnet, be sure your child is wearing comfortable clothes with no metal snaps or zippers. Remove all metal hair barrettes and earrings, and check any toys or stuffed animals for metal parts before bringing them to the MRI area.
Children are encouraged to bring a favorite music CD or video to watch during the MRI scan. In rare instances, though, the music and/or video may interfere with the scan of the body part being examined.
During the Scan
The MRI machine is a large magnet in the shape of a tunnel. While your child is lying on a table in the middle of the tunnel, nothing will touch or hurt him or her as the pictures are being taken. The technologist will explain that when we start to take the pictures, your child will hear loud knocking or banging noises. Your child must remain still during these noises.
The process can be as short as 20 minutes, but sometimes it can last up to 2 hours. Several series of pictures will be taken, and each one could last between 30 seconds to 7 minutes. During these times, your child must remain perfectly still. The technologist will talk to your child between each set of pictures to ensure that he or she is okay.
As long as they are not pregnant, parents are encouraged to accompany their child into the scan room. We only ask that you remove all jewelry and metal. Parents will be given earplugs during the scan.
Sometimes an IV of clear fluid also is used during the test to allow a small amount of contrast material to appear on the pictures. The IV will remain in place until the scan is completed, and if your child experiences any discomfort, they should tell the technologist.
If your child is unable to hold still for his or her pictures and was scheduled for an MRI without sedation, you will most likely need to reschedule your appointment with sedation and return at a different date. It is of paramount importance that your child remains still throughout the entire process to ensure accurate pictures are taken.
After the Scan
Once the MRI pictures are complete, your child will lie on the table a few moments longer while a radiologist checks to make sure there are enough pictures. Sometimes a set of pictures will need to be repeated, and this usually takes only five to 10 minutes. After the doctor checks the pictures and confirms the scan is complete, the IV will be removed, if your child required one, and you may leave.
The contrast material supplied by the IV will exit your child's body through his or her urine within 24 to 48 hours after the procedure. The color of the urine should remain normal.

Why am I reminded of a Tyra photo shoot. Or should I say every Tyra photo shoot.
I prefer her old stuff rather than what ever she's doing now
Asians can hear, and see what you're visually thinking.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE OR A MEME! This is the absolute complete truth!!!!
Asians hide their mind reading abilities by having completely expressionless faces so they don't accidentally show facial expressions when people think things they don't like, find funny, astonishing, etc, and Asians segregate so their not nearly as susceptible to that happening.
Asians also segregate, and are untalkative to avoid accidentally saying things that are similar to what people are thinking and going to say.
All Asians are keeping their mind reading abilities a secret, they don't want ANYONE to know they can read minds! They value hiding it more than their own lives!!!
Try thinking, and visually picturing things as wild as you can when you are around Asians, and look for Asians who give people dirty/particular looks for what appears to be for completely no reason, it works if you try enough!!!

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A man who admits to shooting the suspect accused of stealing his SUV could face second-degree murder charges.
Gail Gerlach, 56, says he shot at his 1997 Chevrolet Suburban just once after seeing 25-year-old Brendon T. Kaluza-Graham taking the vehicle.
Gerlach told police he saw the suspect pull out of his driveway. He followed Kaluza-Graham on foot and allegedly saw the suspect raise his arm. Gerlach says he fired when he thought he saw a gun. The suspect died instantly when a bullet hit him in the head.
Investigators finished searching the SUV Tuesday night and did not recover any weapons from the car.
Gerlach does not have a criminal history and was legally allowed to carry a concealed weapon. Kaluza-Graham had several run-ins with the law before his death. Police say they found two sets of shaved keys, a flashlight and a screw driver on his body.
"I don't think what he was doing was right. He shouldn't have been taking people's vehicles but he didn't deserve a death sentence," Brendon's uncle Pat Kaluza said. "I think he was shooting to kill. He obviously knew what he was doing and aimed to where he'd kill Brendon. He should be charged I think."
Police say the case is classified as a second-degree murder rather than manslaughter because of intent. They say this was no accident.
"We investigate crimes as police, and the most appropriate crime would be murder. Not to say he did commit murder, but that's the closest crime," Lt. Mark Griffiths of the Major Crimes unit said. "Manslaughter is accidental or reckless."
No one has been arrested or charged yet in this case.

Rome is a fascinating city for its architecture, culture and history. What better place to rent an apartment than in the Colosseum area? All the apartments to rent in the Colosseum area are of the highest standard, and ensure a comfortable stay as you explore the sites that Rome has to offer. By taking self catering accommodation in the Colosseum area, you will have the best of both worlds, such as first class facilities close by to all the attractions, and a great deal of independence.
Holidays in the Colosseum area, Rome, will forever imprint this impressive Roman amphitheatre on your mind. Even now, it seems to dominate the buildings around it, and one can only imagine the effect that it had on people one or two thousand years ago. It is visited by millions of tourists every year, and as such, can feel a bit of a circus at times. Go with the flow though, and you will be duly rewarded by this ancient testament to man's ingenuity. Outside, you may find people dressed in Roman uniform or gladiators clothing, which make for some great photo opportunities.
With such an ancient, full and colourful history, there are an abundance of places to visit in Rome. The Imperial Forum is one such place, as is the Pantheon. Whilst both these attractions can be enjoyed by simply visiting them and walking around, using a guide of some form would be greatly beneficial in order to learn a little more about the place. The Vatican City, which is technically a small country in its own right, is also a popular tourist destination. The Papal apartment may be off limits, but you are able to walk around the gardens, and look at some magnificent artworks. The food in Rome is exquisite, and so if you do not wish to use the cooking facilities in the self catering apartment in the Colosseum area, there are many places that you can eat at.
Rome in general has a mild climate that means that it is possible to vacation here at any time of year. However, it is important to know that some months are better than others in this regard. July and August are hot and occasionally humid, and so if visiting then, it would be advisable to ensure that any self catering accommodation in the Colosseum area has air conditioning or some other form of ventilation. Likewise, in the winter months, you may need to check if an apartment has heating of some sort. Generally speaking, the spring and autumn months are the best time to visit with temperatures in the comfortable low twenties degrees Celsius.
If you are flying into Rome for your holiday, then you will more likely than not land at the major airport Fiumicino (FCO). The airport has flights via British Airways, BMI, Alitalia, easyJet and Ryan Air and these depart from UK airports such as London Heathrow (LHR), Manchester (MAN), East Midlands (EMA) and Edinburgh (EDI).

Using the sport of volleyball to restore relationships with God, self, and others. And to develop leaders in building His kingdom
Cory Romine has been coaching club volleyball for the past seven years and just finished his first year as the Head Coach for the varsity volleyball team at Calvary Chapel high school (Costa Mesa, CA). He has been following Christ for the past six years, but in the past three years alone has felt a radical change in the maturity and growth in his faith in the Lord. He has been an awesome part of the FCAV family and shows what it means to coach with God. Romine is a great example of someone...
Sallie Mclaurin grew up in Oklahoma and started volleyball her sophomore year of high school. She developed a passion for the sport and continued in club volleyball for three years before college. Her love for volleyball continued into college at Oklahoma University where she played middle blocker from 2010-2013.
Cullan Maher is from Southern California and got involved with FCA VOlleyball through a friend who met Daniel Rich, the Director of California FCA Volleyball.

How to tweet in MandarinJune 21,2013BEIJING Lunch had run late, and by the time we got back to our hotel, Hung Huang was already in the lobby waiting for us. Blunt, opinionated and wickedly funny, Huang is one of the countrys top fashion editors. But she is better known for her acerbic posts on Weibo, a microblog, where she has 7.5 million followers. As we introduced ourselves four journalists on a three-city tour of China she passed around a picture that someone had texted her.
It was a photo of President Barack Obama and President Xi Jinping of China walking side by side. Mirroring that photograph was another image: Tigger and Winnie the Pooh, matching their stride and shape. We all laughed uproariously. Huang planned to post it on Weibo.
Just then, though, an anonymous message on WeiChat a new, peer-to-peer cousin to Weibo arrived. It contained a warning said to be from the state news bureau. Please reinforce monitoring and management of all postings with regard to the Xi-Obama meeting, it read. Please clean up all attacks, riddles and comics.
I dont even know if this warning is real, Huang said. But she immediately decided not to post the picture. The risk that it crossed an invisible line between commentary that was acceptable to the government and commentary that wasnt was too high. She looked at it again. It is so benign, she sighed.
It is nearly impossible today to visit China without hearing about the importance of Weibo, which was started in 2009 by Sina, a large, Shanghai-based Internet company, and which has since gained close to 600 million followers. Thanks to Weibo, the government can no longer control the flow of information, at least not like it used to. When a disaster takes place, the best information invariably comes from the Weibo community. Microbloggers have exposed municipal corruption and raised environmental concerns. The government cant get away with a hand-wave anymore, says Kai-Fu Lee, the former president of Googles operations in China who now runs Innovation Works. (Lee has an incredible 43 million followers on Weibo.)
Perhaps more important, Weibo has empowered the average Chinese, maybe for the first time, to express an opinion and to confront differing views. For thousands of years, the Chinese didnt believe they had vocal cords, said Huang. Now they have found their vocal cords.
Yet despite the undeniable progress that Weibo represents, there is still that invisible line, the point beyond which every Chinese microblogger cant go. Nothing is written down, of course; people who use Weibo need a sixth sense, in Huangs words.
Lee, whose posts are often uncontroversial, nonetheless had his Weibo account shut down for three days in February when he poked mild fun at a new state-run search engine; he has also had some posts censored. When our group spoke to him, though, he seemed to view the line as simply part of life in China, a friction in the system that had to be tolerated, like a lot of other silly frictions.
Survival is the prerequisite to making a difference, he said. There are bloggers who have had their accounts removed. I want to be near the line but not cross it. It was counterproductive, he believed, to go over it.
Huang was less patient. She, like Lee, had spent years in the United States and has a Western attitude about free speech. If you look at China now compared to 20 years ago, there is a huge amount of freedom, she said. But I dont see it as a glass half full. It needs to get better.
The larger question is whether the kind of self-censorship that the line represents impedes China in other ways. Does the fear of taking a risk on Weibo spill over to other areas of life? Does it have the potential to hold back China?
My friend James Fallows, the longtime national correspondent for The Atlantic, who lived in China from 2006 to 2009, believes that it does. In an email he sent me a few days later, he argued as he had in his 2012 book, China Airborne that most modern societies try to minimize the taboos and maximize the areas of acceptable debate. He wondered whether the Chinese approach expanding the areas of acceptable debate slowly and even fearfully would wind up placing a ceiling on the overall potential of the Chinese system. He added, I suspect that the very effort of maintaining the line is one of several tensions that will determine whether China 10 years from now is a fully rich and mature country or just a bigger version of what it is now.
Meanwhile, Huangs instincts about the image she showed us was right. Although Fallows was able to post it on his blog at The Atlantic, those who put it on Weibo found it quickly removed.
Benign though it surely was, it had crossed the line.
