When it comes to competing game apps, the company behind Words with Friends has concluded, if you can't beat 'em, buy 'em.
Zynga Inc. announced Wednesday it is buying OMGPOP, which created Draw Something, today's the hottest downloaded game app.
Draw Something is crushing Zynga's top apps, according to the latest figures by AppData, which said Draw Something had 13.3 million daily active users last week, 5 million more than Zynga's top games.
David Ko, Zynga's chief mobile officer, said Draw Something was downloaded 35 million times since being launched six weeks ago.
Draw Something also tops the Apple App Store's lists for top paid, top free and top grossing apps. The app comes in a free version and a no-ads .99 cent version.
Draw Something players take turns figuring out what opponents have drawn on the screen of their iPhone, iPad or Android device.
Zynga didn't disclose how much it is paying to acquire OMGPOP, which also has more than 35 other game app titles. PC Magazine, citing AllThingsD,said the price tag would be $180 million, plus $30 million for employee retention payments.
Last year Zynga bought Newtoy, the company behind the Words with Friends app.

I hope that all our female readers had a great Mother's Day either as a recipient of a day off from your daily activities that go unnoticed and underappreciated or were able to spend some special time with your daughter(s), mom or grandma. Possibly you were the one lucky enough to get a round of golf in over the weekend while someone else cooked or straightened up around the house for once. In honors of mom's everywhere, this week's topic is dedicated on purchasing women's golf clubs. Hey, you men might as well listen too!
What is a women's (or ladies) golf club?
Let's answer the not so obvious question on what constitutes a woman's or also called a ladies golf club. There are really two camps that ladies golf clubs fall into. The first is often the way most ladies clubs are made. They start out as a men's model, but assembled with an L or ladies flex an inch shorter than the men's version. Lastly a smaller sized ladies grip is installed. Voila, all of a sudden it instantly becomes a ladies golf club. In some cases the club may have a different accent color such as blue, pink or green to differentiate it from the men's model.
The manufacturer may offer the driver in a highest lofted men's version to make it easier the get the ball airborne, but all other clubs are the same lofts as the men's. Not convinced, take a look at the specifications as that will tell you who they were really made for. Yet, there are many women who can play well with what amounts to as a modified men's club.
The other way in which women's clubs are created is using a whole new set of specifications. Plus this version are not sold in any form as a man's set making them exclusive to ladies. An example of this would be Hireko's iBella Bellissima collection.
The reason why you do not see more of the ladies exclusive type of set is the cost to the manufacturers. In order to make an exclusive new model requires additional tooling charges, when it is much easier to share existing tooling and accept the specification of a man's set albeit with a different flex shaft and smaller grip. Often times this type of set is produced with greater loft throughout the set, except for the wedges which are already high lofted.
Which is type of set is best for you?
This all depends upon your skill level. For beginners and slower swinging women golfers, the additional loft throughout the set as with the ladies exclusive set will be a godsend and here is the reason why. Women on average do not possess the strength or the swing speed as their male counterparts. Therefore it is much more difficult to produce enough height and back spin to achieve the distance they truly need.
The other thing to look at is the width of the sole or bottom of the club. Even though many men's clubs are being introduced with wider and wider soles, all sets devoted to women have very wide soles to begin with. The importance is women take more a sweeping motion and will almost assuredly result into the ball being struck low on the club face. In other words they lack the strength to take a divot. So it was imperative to move the weight lower, not only allow the ball to become airborne, but more importantly to provide a solid feel at impact. This is why a wider sole is beneficial as a higher concentration of weight is located there.
As we said earlier, there are fewer options available if you were looking to invest into a ladies exclusive set. If you are looking for less pastels and gender neutral colors, then you can still pieces together the right mix of clubs from the modified men's sets with a little homework.
Do you need 14 clubs?
While we along with every other manufacturer would more than love for you to purchase the allotted 14 clubs you are allowed to put into your golf bag, not all women will need them all. If you take a look at many ladies exclusive sets, they may offer what is called a short set.
Certain golfers may benefit from carrying even less clubs. This is especially true of many beginning women golfers who tend to have reduced club head speeds (those 60 mph and below). Having all 14 clubs doesn't produce enough separation in distance between each club, so why end up lugging the on the course?
10 Piece Beginner's Set
This is what a 10 piece set should look like with your tee club, one higher-lofted fairway, a couple of hybrids to bridge the gap to the irons like a #3 and 5 combo or a #4 and 6 combo, the easier-to-hit irons, a couple wedges and finally a putter. As you progress you can always add to that set (if they are offered) or graduate to the intermediate set.
13 Piece Intermediate Set
For more intermediate or advanced women golfers, having a full compliment of clubs can be justified. Here is an example of what a 13-piece set might look like. Certain clubs can be substituted to make your perfect set. After all it is your choice! But I would encourage the addition of more fairway woods and hybrids than the irons as the lower center of gravity and wider soles are much easier to hit solidly. Don't even think about a 3-iron, those should be outlawed and the reason why you do not see ladies sets with them today.
Of course if you want to add there is room for one more club such as a gap wedge, chipper or 60 degree wedge, probably in the order of their importance.
Grips and Shafts
Don't always assume woman need the smaller sized ladies grips that come standard on ladies clubs. Many prefer the standard men's size to accommodate their longer fingers or just feel more comfortable if they take a 10 finger grip. Golf Pride paid attention and introduced a ladies line of grips called Vyne where larger sizes are available. My suggestion is to use whatever size feels the most comfortable to you.
In regards to shafts, well the shaft doesn't care if it is a man or woman swinging it. But most ladies flex shafts are geared to hit the ball higher, with few exceptions. The key performance consideration is weight, while some shafts L-flex shafts tend to run more flexible than others. Preferences for brand and color may help sift through the myriad of models made available to you. More powerful women golfers can easily use men's flexes as some you out there can pound the ball past some of your male counterparts. There is no rule set in stone you have to use ladies flex if your strength indicates otherwise.
Know the difference between women's clubs disguised as men's clubs compared to those sets designed specifically for most women golfers. The lofts should give them away. Buy only the clubs you need, especially for slower swinging golfer as you will end up with several clubs that seem like they all go the same distance. Don't always assume because it has a ladies label attached, that it automatically mean's that right for you. Comfort in the hands and matching a shaft to your strength is paramount. Those are just a few things to look for when it come time to purchase your next or possibly first set.
4 Comments on A Guide to Women's Golf Clubs
I'm a 45 year-old female who just started playing golf last year. When I finally was ready to invest in a set of irons, I would have loved to have purchased a set designed exclusively for women, like your iBellas. However, I ultimately went with Callaway X-24 Hots. Why? Because I just couldn't stand the "girlied" up club sets available to women. Your ibellas are a prime example of that. I mean, a cubic-zirconia-type look? Blech! Since then, I've added to my collection by purchasing your XDS hybrids and your forged wedges (custom assembled, of course). But can't some club makers try to make clubs that aren't so darned glittery and girly?
While KimH certainlt has a point, I made an iBella 7 Wood for my wife last January – she absolutely loved it and demanded a full set for her birthday. Reasons? Great playing, great looking clubs that mede her feel special. While these may not appeal to all women, they are a real hit with my special woman.

Measuring Tape Toilet Paper, $3.99
We're not quite sure why you'd need measuring tape in the bathroom but… actually, who are we kidding?

This stuff will help you and your lucky loved ones keep track of your health in the new year. Stay regular, stay healthy, y'all.
Batman Brake Light Decal, $0.43
Maybe you'll never be able to buy the Batmobile, but for less than five bucks, this is just as good! Except that, obviously, it's not, but we have to write something. Anyway, whenever you come to a stop, let everyone around you know who's the swift-fisted protector of Gotham (hint: It's you!). Don't have a car? Place it on your backside for a similar effect.
Great for your foodie or Sunday night football friend, these delectable-looking soaps come in drumstick and wing. All you need to go along with these (ironically vegan) soaps is some blue cheese shampoo! And yeah, we know that $5 is not really "under $5", but come on, are you really going to quibble with us over one cent? Oh, wait, this is the Internet – of course you are.
X-Men Comic Book Wallet, $3.50
Made from the actual comic book pages of X-Men #15, this bad boy will keep all your basics intact while you're out and about

Halloween, which is steadily catching up to Christmas as the
major American holiday, is around the corner, which means the
Halloween recipes have come out of hiding. Gnarled witches'
fingers. Edible eyeballs. Cat litter for dessert. No doubt about
it, Halloween recipes are fun. When else can you serve "bloody
fingers" or "wormy" apples and get by with it?
One problem with so many of these recipes is that they're sweet.
That's not a big deal if you're hosting a Halloween party and
serving desserts instead of candy, but if your kids are lugging
around pounds of candy from another party or a trick-or-treating
jaunt, the last things you need to serve them are cookies and gooey
Children have good imaginations, so making savory, "spooky"
treats is easy, especially for younger kids. Here are some ideas to
get you started.

LIVE CHAT With Kevin Carroll: Can a ball save a life & change the world? What are the social innovation values of sports? June 15, 4-5PM EDT
Join us for a LIVE conversation with Katalyst, author, and speaker Kevin Carroll.
This conversation will open at 4:00PM EDT, June 15th, 2011.
"Can a ball save a life & change the world? What are the social innovation values of sports?"
They chose their addiction over raising three sons. The pinnacle moment of my parent's neglect resulted in the three of us being "rescued" by a stranger, shuttled down to a greyhound bus station in Bowling Green, VA, in the summer of '65, placed on a bus alone (ages eight, six, and three) and sent on a 200+
mile, one-way fare to my grandparent's house in Philadelphia. Without parents in my life, I resorted to finding my life lessons from many sources: businessmen and laborers, winos and alcoholics, drug dealers and users, sport coaches, my peers and old-heads at the playground, merchants, war vets, school teachers, librarians, custodians, food service workers, other kid's moms and dads. I learned to be constantly on the lookout for any nugget of insight that would assist me on my quest to rise above my suffering and circumstances. I spent endless hours at the neighborhood playground and it became my sanctuary. That playground plus sports and play proved to be a catalyst in my journey from dysfunction and hardscrabble to becoming an author, a speaker and an agent for social change invested in the sport for peace and development movement.
Sport and play are common human denominators and equalizers. No matter where you go in the world - regardless of socioeconomic, political or religious system – sport and play are present. Stories abound about the use of sport and play as social innovation tools versus foes of the human condition - HIV/AIDS,
gender equity, social inclusion, homelessness, literacy, natural disaster, conflict and many others - and there are human catalysts who utilize it to inspire change and action.

Jun 15 2011: Hello Kevin! (We briefly connected last summer in Denver, and spoke about our mutual Katalyst, Gordon MacKenzie.)
I never got into sports as a kid (or an adult) but do love to play, in general. What other analogies can you recommend that aren't sports-related. Could you say that creating art would be a good analogy?
Jun 15 2011: Hi Cami - it's great to reconnect with you! How about looking at other creative/inspiring outlets such as:
books (public library), music (school music program), art/design (future sole project & PENSOLE Design School). It's always about belonging + being inspired by the activity. Be well, Cami...

Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Why do Nicolock pavers make the best pavement?Not only are Nicolock pavers beautiful, but they provide the best pavement solution in freeze/thaw conditions, when installed over a compacted aggregate base. Installation over a compacted aggregate base results in a pavement that is strong, yet flexible enough to move as the ground shifts without breaking apart, rutting or heaving. In addition, they can be "unzipped" to allow for repairs or access to utility lines. Unlike asphalt and other surfaces, pavers are virtually maintenance-free. And, by definition, concrete pavers are about 3 times stronger than regular poured concrete.
What makes Paver-Shield™ better than the competition?Paver-Shield is not a thin veneer of color coating. Paver-Shield pavers are guaranteed to look great year after year, retaining their vibrant color and smooth texture. Products without Paver-Shield may look worn and faded over time with exposed aggregate on the surface.
Does the color go all the way through Nicolock pavers?All Nicolock pavers have color throughout. Those manufactured with our exclusive Paver-Shield™ process have an extra concentration of cement and pigment on the wear layer providing deep rich colors and a smooth, dense wear layer.
How do pavers compare with patterned concrete?Patterned concrete pavements are slabs of concrete that are embossed with a pattern. Therefore, they are prone to the same problems with freeze/thaw cycles, namely cracking and spalling. Also, unlike Nicolock pavers, patterned concrete pavements don't allow access to underground utilities or the ability to make repairs. At virtually the same price installed per square foot, Nicolock Pavers are clearly a superior choice.
What is efflorescence?Efflorescence is a whitish, powder-like deposit that may sometimes appear on the surface of the paving stones. It may appear immediately or within a short time after installation. Efflorescence occurs when natural salts come to the surface and leave behind a white deposit that can normally be brushed off. Left alone, normal wear and exposure to the elements will dissipate the efflorescence. This is not a product defect or harmful to pavers and walls and Nicolock accepts no liability for its occurrence. If there is a need to remove the efflorescence before it naturally wears away, best results are obtained by using an efflorescence remover which is available from most mason supply dealers. Do not use muriatic acid.
If a sealer is to be applied to the paving stones, it is recommended that any presence of efflorescence be removed prior to sealer being applied. Precautions for proper drainage of the paving stone system should be taken to minimize the occurrence of efflorescence. Follow proper installation methods.

Really liked this story--interesting plot involving dual FBI investigations. The story was really exciting until there was a hint of the suspect in each case, then the ending was just so-so and very expected. The excitement left as each investigation was brought to conclusion. 7 out of 10 for me.

On a textual level, the book is pretty good, but when you realize and understand the symbols on a deeper level, the book only gets better. While the reading level is somewhat difficult to understand at first, the risk is worth the reward. Definitely a good read.

Podiatric Health Section – Chair's Report
By Janet Simon, DPM
The annual POD Section meeting in Philadelphia was well attended and featured active discussion regarding the future activities of our section. The ongoing issue for our section relates to membership and its continuing decline. The fact remains that we are the smallest section in APHA and also have the smallest pool of professionals to draw members from.
During this year's meeting, it was affirmed that our member recruitment should be focused on students, a group that has much to gain by increased knowledge of public health and a group that has been under-recruited in the past. The Section, in conjunction with APMA, officially kicked off this student recruitment campaign by addressing the APMSA's (Student Association) House of Delegates on Feb. 5.
The Section is developing several parts to the student recruitment campaign. The Section wishes to subsidize as many of our student members as possible. We are asking you, our current members, to consider sponsoring one student or more. Student membership fees are $60 annually. I wish to recognize our first student sponsor, Bret Ribotsky, DPM, who has graciously subsidized three student members. I cannot stress the importance of increasing our membership numbers. This is a difficult time for our students financially, and the success of this recruitment campaign does lie with our ability to subsidize these initial memberships.
I know our current Section members know the value of our profession's presence in the public health family, and I hope you will consider sending us a check for at minimum one student membership. Contributions may be sent to APMA, Attention: Jim Christina, DPM, 9312 Old Georgetown Rd., Bethesda, MD 20814-1621.
We will also be asking our APMA state components to sponsor a student and would request that our section members make a personal request to their state associations to consider this sponsorship. An encouraging word to your state component president and executive director asking for their financial support of a student membership will be helpful to our recruiting efforts.
Another aspect of our student recruitment is assisting with the costs of student presenters at the APHA Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting is a great opportunity for students to make a presentation that certainly enhances their interprofessional network and resume. Unfortunately, for many students the financial burden associated with getting to the Annual Meeting is prohibitive. APMA will be assisting our student presenters with $500 stipends that should hopefully offset the burden.
While in Arizona for the APMSA HOD, I'll be meeting with Jeff Page, DPM, dean of the Midwestern University Podiatry College in Glendale and a long-time Section member. The Podiatric Health Section is interested in developing podiatry college relationships with one goal of having our colleges monetarily assist with the cost of student memberships. We know this goal can be achieved for the Chiropractic Section announced their success in Philadelphia of having two of their colleges commit to paying for APHA memberships for all of their students.
In closing, I am optimistic that our section will gain members this year and that our "new blood" along with our "old blood" members will become active in not only in our section but in APHA leadership opportunities. Speaking of "new blood," I wish to welcome our new newsletter editor, Emily Cook, DPM, MPH, and our new Web site editor, Jeremy Cook, DPM, MPH. These young physicians and surgeons presented initial data from projects cosponsored by the Massachusetts Podiatric Medical Association and the Massachusetts Public Health Association at the 2009 APHA Annual Meeting. We'll be hearing much more from them and are pleased to have them on board in our section leadership.

Editor's Perspective
By Emily A. Cook, DPM, MPH
Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
As I write this article, I find myself reflecting on my own journey into public health. As a student at the California College of Podiatric Medicine, I gave very little thought to public health. Like many others I was focused on course work, surgical eponyms, and residency placement. The latter concern was addressed with my placement at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center program. At first I saw residency as wholly different from school. With time I recognized the familiar pillars of medical academia: education, surgical training and patient care. I've recently completed a two-year fellowship and MPH. After a marathon of education, I have joined the real world. Very quickly I've come to realize that the field of public health touches upon every aspect of my professional life.
I owe much of this realization to my time at Harvard School of Public Health. My experience there changed my perspective and has provided me with tools that I routinely utilize. It even afforded me the opportunity to collaborate with the state department of public health. The skills learned during the pursuit of my degree help me to manage clinical trials, design studies, as well as fully understand journal articles. Despite my own story, I don't think that a MPH degree is requisite to understanding and contributing to the public health field. I also believe that both institutional and private foot and ankle specialists can play an important role in public health. The days of the ivory tower monopoly over public health have ended, and today, any motivated and deliberative individual can make a meaningful contribution.
So how does a podiatrist or podiatric surgeon fit into public health? There are many ways that our profession is involved, both locally and globally. The first and broadest area is that of education. As specialists we have keen understanding of pathology of the lower extremity as well as its effect on the rest of the body - share that knowledge. Organize a lecture on diabetic limb screening to the general public and primary care providers. Perhaps a presentation to local universities or high schools about proper training will interest runners. Regardless of the topic or audience, education is always a meaningful public health initiative. If you currently participate or plan to participate in medical missions abroad or in under-served areas you can provide training to the local physicians. In this way your contribution lingers in their community. Whether you realize it or not, as a health care provider you already are involved in public health:
You are already participating in a public health role but may benefit in refining it. It may even improve your practice and overall professional satisfaction.
As a free tool to promote collaboration and public health, we have started the American Public Health Association: Podiatric Health Facebook Group: www.facebook.com. I hope you and your colleagues will consider joining.
Members of the podiatric community are diverse in their backgrounds and interests. We challenge you to make the most of those qualities and have an impact on population level health.

California's Walking Program
By Stephen C. Wan DPM, FACFAS, CPMA president (Respectfully submitted for CPMA)
In order to demonstrate tangible health and financial benefits of a sustained walking program, members of the California Podiatric Medical Association (CPMA) have been utilizing a walking program protocol to assist their patients combat obesity and its co-morbidities. The patients were typically recruited to join the program once their foot and ankle symptoms were resolved. The initial starting walking distance and numbers of steps were tailored to the tolerance of the patients with periodic and gradual increases without causing overuse symptoms.
Baseline figures in height, weight, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar and cholesterol levels were taken prior to initiation of the walking program and then retaken during follow-up visits at three month intervals. The patients all had initial diagnoses of one or more of the following: obesity, diabetes, increased cholesterol, increased BMI and hypertension.
Risk-reduction in the above categories started after the first three months of embarking on the Walking Program, eventually resulting in either discontinuation or significant reduction of medications. The cost savings in medications (antihypertensives, oral hypoglycemics, insulin preparations, statins) ranged from $31/month to $265/month.
The Walking Program protocol was a collaborative effort between the patients' podiatrists and the patients' family physicians or internists and conducted at no extra charge to Medicare, third party payers and the patients. The Internists/FPs tracked the lab results while the podiatrists:
a) monitored the incremental increases of the walking mileage/frequency with instructions on terrain, speed and proper shoe-gear.
b) treated foot and ankle pathologies and symptoms as they arose in order to keep the patients ambulatory and motivated to continue with the walking program.
All respective treating physicians would typically communicate with one another via phone and fax. The initial recruitment of all of the above patients was the responsibility of the podiatrist. While the compliance with the walking program has been tracked every three months in a face-to-face meeting with the patients, phone consultations have been provided as needed.
On initial recruitment to join the walking program, the consultation typically occupied 20 minutes.
On each subsequent visit, the estimated additional time to discuss the walking program and review of patients' performance indicators typically ran approximately 6-10 minutes.
California School of Podiatric Medicine and the Uganda Sustainable Clubfoot Care Project
By Ajitha K. Nair, MPH, CSPM Class of 2010
Students at the California School of Podiatric Medicine (CSPM) will be traveling to Uganda for one month in April 2010 to evaluate and learn from the Uganda Sustainable Clubfoot Care Project (USCCP). The USCCP was created through a partnership between the University of British Columbia and Makerere University in Uganda. Since 2000, the USCCP has been providing congenital clubfoot treatment and educating the community and practitioners.
CSPM students will be assisting USCCP by performing a survey focused on barriers associated with clubfoot treatment. This project will teach students how to conduct survey studies as well as basic epidemiologic principles. The first week in Uganda will involve conducting parental and health care worker focus groups. Health care focus groups will allow CSPM students to gather key information about the population and help identify perceived barriers to clubfoot outcomes in Uganda. Parental focus groups are geared toward identifying barriers to treatment, satisfaction of treatment, and compliance. Based upon the responses from focus groups, CSPM students will develop a survey, which will be pre-tested on parents during the second week. Final modifications of the survey will be made so that it can be put to use during the last half of the month. Weeks three and four will consist of surveying all parents attending clinic who are willing to participate.
In addition to conducting research, students' objectives include rotating through the clubfoot clinic at Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda. They will gain a greater understanding of the pathoanatomy of clubfoot deformities, how to implement the Ponsetti treatment, Steenbeek foot bracing, and common errors associated with clubfoot casting. Furthermore, clubfoot classifications and the Pirani clubfoot scoring methods will be emphasized. Finally, this practical experience will give students a greater understanding of the differences between other health care delivery systems.
In preparation for the research, students have begun to formulate a preliminary survey and are conducting literature reviews to gather information that may be of assistance including similar studies performed. If you have any feedback or are aware of any funding resources that the students may be able to apply for, please feel free to contact Ajitha Nair at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Janet Simon, DPM, chair of the APHA Podiatric Health Section, interviewed Jacqueline B. Truong, DPM, MPH, on how she integrates public health into her practice. Dr. Jacqueline Truong recently graduated from the Cambridge Health Alliance residency program and is a podiatric surgeon at the Western University of Health Sciences College of Podiatric Medicine under the Department of Surgery, Biomechanics, and Podiatric Medicine. She is a graduate of the Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine.
1. Briefly describe your background leading to your interest in public health and podiatry.My interest in public health came before I knew about podiatric medicine, and the decision to pursue an MPH degree was deeply rooted in my desire to affect change in the quality of life for people through health. I fell naturally into epidemiological research in infectious disease because of my background in microbiology. This eventually became a large focus for me as I became more involved in the field of public health. But as I moved forward in public health initiatives, I felt my career in public health lacked a certain level of interaction with the very people I was trying to help. That is when I started to seriously consider a career practicing medicine. In my search for the right career path, I stumbled upon podiatric medicine, which now affords me the opportunity to pursue my goals in affecting people's health through both the practice of medicine and public health. 2. How has your interest in public health affected your career pathway/choices?To quote Robert Frost, "I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."My desire to pursue a career that would embrace both my research background in public health, and podiatric medicine, has led me down a road "less traveled by" other young practitioners leaving their residency training – the road of academic medicine. I knew that I would need an institution that could support my interests by providing me with the resources and opportunities I would require to build my career. In my job search during the last year of residency, I stumbled upon a few such institutions – one of which is where I am now currently employed. The choice to enter into academic medicine rather than private practice was a difficult one, as it would mean leaving a well trodden path with predictable variables and entering into less charted territory. In the end, I followed my passion because that is where I truly believe I could make the greatest contribution to medicine. 3. What benefit do you feel your public health knowledge brings to your current professional position?I feel I have a much better understanding of the research process, including methodology, design and critical analysis of the current literature. On a smaller scale, my background in public health has helped me on more than one occasion to bring to my patients the most current, evidence-based medical treatment plan. 4. What advice do you have for podiatry students who are interested in public health and considering further education in this field?I recommend any student who is interested in public health to talk with physicians who are currently involved in public health efforts in order to gain a better appreciation of the diversity of career paths in which podiatric physicians practice. Also, find public health mentors, who are not practicing medicine to gain a broader perspective of public health. I think they will find that there are many avenues of interest that have yet to be explored. When applying for a Master in Public Health, be aware that you will need to designate an area of interest. They are as follows: biostatistics, environmental health sciences, epidemiology, general public health, health policy & management, population & family health, and sociomedical sciences. Many public health programs require that you have has some related or paid volunteer work experience in the area of interest you designate prior to applying for the program. I would recommend getting a Masters in Public Health in the areas of epidemiology or biostatistics if you are interested in any form of research. Finally, be resourceful in your pursuit as you will likely come across a path in which few have crossed. You will need all the resources at your disposal to forge your way forward. 5. What research projects do you hope to work on that incorporate public health principles?I hope to work on research projects that will explore unanswered questions regarding health as it relates to quality of life and mobility in efforts to increase public awareness of critical health issues within the field of podiatric medicine.
Pathomechanical Metatarsal Length Pattern
By Dr. Philip H. Demp, Temple UniversityAdjunct Professor, School of Podiatric Medicine, Dept. of Podiatric OrthopedicsAdjunct Professor, College of Science and Technology, Dept. of MathematicsAdjunct Professor,College of Engineering, Dept. of Mechanical EngineeringFellow, Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (UK)Before I update, let me offer a short review. Thus far, I have shown that the positions (coordinates) of the five metatarsal heads have a complete unique relationship (configuration) that can be represented by unique conic curve types. The conic types are circle, ellipse, hyperbola, parabola and degenerative. I then used the ideas of movement of force and pressure from the fifth metatarsal head to the first metatarsal head and the conic curve types among non-human Primates. My pilot study was able to discriminate (diagnose) between a pathomechanical and healthy configuration of the metatarsal heads.UPDATEI am presently working on validating a larger study and associating clinical conditions with pathomechanical configurations of the metatarsal heads. This means using a larger sample size beyond the pilot study to a higher level of validation. Also, the medical literature suggests that a pathomechanical configuration of the metatarsal heads (a pathomechanical variation of the metatarsal lengths) can be an etiologic agent for a wide range of clinical conditions such as plantar keratomata, hammer toes, plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, overlapping toes, hallux valgus, diabetic ulcer, etc. A pathomechanical configuration without symptoms is considered to be latent.
Hospital Costs for Bone Marrow Transplants, Other Common Procedures Up Sharply
Hospital costs for bone marrow transplants shot up 85 percent from $694 million to $1.3 billion between 2004 and 2007, according to a recent report from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
Data from AHRQ shows that 10 procedures experienced rapid cost increases between 2004 and 2007. About 75 percent of the rise was due to increases in the number of patients who underwent these procedures, and 25 percent resulted from higher costs per case treated.
In addition to bone marrow transplantation, the procedures with the most rapid increases in hospital costs included:
These findings are based on data described in Procedures with the Most Rapidly Increasing Hospital Costs, 2004-2007. The report uses statistics from the 2007 Nationwide Inpatient Sample, a database of hospital inpatient stays that is nationally representative of inpatient stays in all short-term, non-federal hospitals. The data are drawn from hospitals that comprise 90 percent of all discharges in the United States and include all patients, regardless of insurance type, as well as the uninsured.
Potentially Avoidable Hospitalizations for Many Conditions Drop Dramatically for Seniors
The rate of hospitalizations that could have been potentially prevented with better outpatient care fell faster for seniors than for younger patients between 2003 and 2007, according to a recent report from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
The federal agency compared hospitalization rates for 11 chronic and acute conditions that can usually be controlled outside the hospital if patients have access to good outpatient care and follow doctors' instructions, such as taking medication at the right time. The analysis compared potentially preventable or avoidable hospitalizations for patients age 65 and over and ages 18 to 64.
The rates of hospitals stays for the following conditions declined faster for seniors than for younger adults:
· Angina (43 percent decrease vs. 39 percent).
· Uncontrolled diabetes (21 percent vs. 5 percent).
· Dehydration (20 percent vs. 16 percent).
· Short-term diabetes complications, such as hypoglycemia (19 percent decrease vs. an increase of 10 percent).
· Amputation of the feet or legs, usually because of diabetes (17 percent vs. 3 percent).
· Bacterial pneumonia (16 percent vs. 8 percent).
· Congestive heart failure (14 percent vs. 9 percent).
In contrast, the rate of admissions for high blood pressure increased at a roughly equal rate, but the hospitalization rate for seniors with urinary tract infections increased by 15 percent, while it increased by only 1 percent for younger adults.
These findings are based on data described in Potentially Preventable Hospitalization Rates Declined for Older Adults, 2003-2007.
The nominating committee for the APHA's Governing Council is looking for the following candidates for leadership roles in the organization:

Marco A. Rubio-Ardila, DPM, 58
Dr. Marco A. Rubio-Ardila passed away on Jan. 24, 2010, at Valley Baptist Medical Center Brownsville, with his loving wife and close friends at his side. Marco was raised and lived in Hawaii. He was a veteran of the U. S. Army, proudly serving his country during the Vietnam conflict as a medic. Upon completing his service, he returned to Honolulu and studied at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He received his Bachelor of Nutrition Science in 1975 and his Master of Public Health there in 1977. He received his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine in 1982 from the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine.
As a captain in the U.S. Public Health Service Commission Corps, he joined the Brownsville (Texas) Community Health Clinic to initiate the Podiatric Service in July of 1982. He then opened the Podiatric Service at Su Clinica Familiar in 1983, serving in Harlingen and Raymondville. He was the first podiatrist to have surgical privileges at Brownsville Medical Center (now Valley Baptist Medical Center). He was an active member of APHA since 1975, and received national recognition through his receipt of the Dr. Stephen Toth Memorial Award in both 1981 and 1997.

On Sunday, in a game that was a much bigger win for Chicago than a loss for Los Angeles the Blackhawks notched a 3-1 victory. In Game 1 the Blackhawks had a favorable scheduling advantage because the Kings just finished off their last hard fought series on Friday night. It was a quick turnaround for Los Angeles but they played well.
Home ice in the playoffs can make a difference. The Hawks are a perfect 7-0 this season and 18-2 dating back to last year in playoff games at the United Center. Again the Blackhawks took care of business when needed. Being down a game and having to play a rested Kings team on Wednesday would have been a difficult challenge. Now the Hawks will look to build off a decent performance and defend home ice.
The first period was about even, the Hawks found their legs quickly despite being off since last Tuesday. To their credit the Kings played with energy and had a solid opening frame but trailed entering the second period. The Blackhawks scored first as Brandon Saad was in perfect position to tip in a well placed shot by Nick Leddy.
Then early in the next frame Jonathan Toews scored what appeared to be a goal. The call on the ice by the referee standing near the net was a good goal, but was later waved off. It was an "only in the NHL" moment. Unfortunately for the league many of those "moments" seem to happen in the postseason when media scrutiny is the highest.
On the play, Toews drove the net and the puck came off his stick and hit the skate of Kings defenseman Slava Voynov. The puck then slid in past a sprawling Jonathan Quick. At about the same time the puck crossed the line Toews made contact with Quick who was at the top of the goal crease. The puck appeared to be past Quick who moved toward Toews when they made contact.
A goaltender interference call is not a reviewable play. So logic would say the call on the ice should stand but nothing can be taken for granted in the NHL. It should be noted the referee closest to the play was in great position to make the call.
After the celebration started the referee skated toward the official scorer and put on the headset as to converse with the Toronto War Room. After quite a few minutes the announcement was made the goal was disallowed because of incidental contact with the goaltender.
Joel Quenneville was screaming behind the bench and his club must have felt a letdown because from that point on the Kings were in control of the period. Things then went from bad to worse for the Blackhawks because about one minute after the no goal ruling the Kings scored to tie the game.
The NHL to their credit began video replay way back in the 1991-1992 season, and was the first major sport to do so. Unfortunately the league still hasn't gotten the process correct.
The NHL seemingly walks an impossible fine line between trying to shield their on ice officials from added scrutiny, thus they only use video replay on certain plays. There are quite a few goal scoring plays which can not be reviewed. All of which could make a huge difference in a game.
Goaltender interference is one of those calls and on Sunday instead of leaving the on ice call stand, which appeared correct, the NHL found a way to change it.
Here is the written explanation from the league:
At 3:22 of the second period in the Kings/Blackhawks game, the referee consulted video review to see if Jonathan Toews' initial shot entered the Los Angeles net. It was determined Toews' initial shot did not enter the net. The referee's original call on the ice was "good goal" but a discussion between the on-ice officials resulted in a "no goal" decision because Toews made incidental contact with Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick before the puck crossed the goal line. This is not a reviewable play therefore the decision on the ice stands - no goal and no penalty.
My thinking is the NHL was scrambling to justify the process and they are wrong on many levels. The rule book falls short and if video review is going to be used it needs to be implemented on goal scoring plays. Nothing is more important than getting the score correct.
It isn't logical to believe the on ice officials were not influenced by the opinion of someone in the Toronto War Room. If not why was there a lengthy discussion involving a headset?
The rule book needs to be changed and more plays should be eligible for review. If a player reached onto the goal line to grab a puck with his hand which was about to enter the net that would not be eligible for review either.
On Sunday everyone involved with overturning the goal looked bad. In my view, and to make matters worse, that goal would have likely counted during the regular season. Goals matter then too and the wrong score could prevent a club from qualifying from the playoffs.
Breaks come into play for both sides and that was what happened Sunday.
About seven minutes later with the Kings coming on and the Hawks back on their heels Duncan Keith let a shot go from just inside of the blue line. Marian Gaborik's stick got in the way and the puck was deflected and then seemed to bounce off the ice and up and over a startled Quick. Once the Hawks regained the lead they seemed to settle down and then the Kings lost some of their steam.
It was yet another game whereby the Hawks didn't play at a high level for all three periods. The middle frame has been their worst throughout this postseason. What was different on Sunday is the Hawks came back to control the third period in a very effective manner.
The Kings were probably running low on gas but the Blackhawks played solid defense while staying aggressive. Los Angeles' managed a meager four shots on goal during the final 20 minutes.
As has been the case Corey Crawford was very good. He made some big stops and also was fortunate. Crawford got lucky on a Tyler Toffoli breakaway as he beat the Hawks netminder only to send a shot off the outside of the post from close range. Crawford was also aided by some good plays by his defensemen, but most important was the fact he outplayed Quick.
Brandon Bollig was back in the lineup and Peter Regin made his second consecutive start.
Bollig felt contact on a scrum and took a fall to the ice which drew a penalty. The officials bit and the Hawks scored their opening goal on the resulting power play. It was a smart time to go down easy as Bollig used his head.
Joel Quenneville was able to better utilize all four lines and spread the ice time out over 12 forwards. That should be useful as the series progresses.
When Andrew Shaw returns Quenneville will have to decide who will not dress. Shaw skated over the weekend and it remains to be seen when he will be cleared to play. Regin won only two of 12 faceoffs and to remain in the lineup his percentage probably needs to get better.
As Regin kept losing draws, Marcus Kruger only took two faceoff attempts, which is curious. Maybe Kruger has suffered a hand or wrist injury.
The Blackhawks will expect to face a bigger push from Los Angeles on Wednesday night. The two days off should benefit the Kings.
It shouldn't be overlooked the Hawks passing was good, especially considering being off for a few days. The Blackhawks defense came through with 25 blocked shots which was 10 more than Los Angeles. The Hawks were ready to play but they will need to string together a full 60 minute performance at some point.
Both rosters are full of players who know how to win the big games. Hopefully the players will decide the outcomes, not the officiating.

Welcome to the FINAL FOUR of the 2011 MocOlympics! Wow, time really flies huh? First allow me to congratulate the top players this year. Each of you WILL be receiving a prize for making it this far! (we'll deal with addresses and whatnot later). So congrats to you all!
Now then... Round six starts NOW and will end at 11:59 pm, MOCpages time (Sunday) November 27th. No entries will be accepted after this time.
Your entry MUST:
Be titled "MocOlympics (may be shortened to MO) round 6 "You" vs "Your opponent." You may title it anything you wish after that but that must be the opening of the title.
Near the TOP of the entry you must state what category you are playing in and you must have a WORKING link to both the MocOlympics group AND your opponent's page. If you post your entry first then their homepage is fine, if they post first then link to their entry please. (You do not have to change it to their entry after they post but it would be nice to them if you did. Again, not needed and you will NOT be docked in any way if you don't. Your choice)
You must add your entry to the group pool (no, you don't need to leave any links, adding it to the group is good enough). Once you add it to the group, that's it, it's OURS and NO changes may be made. We STRONGLY suggest that you get feedback from others before adding it to the group. If any changes need to be made please do so BEFORE you add it to the group pool. The judges will NOT look at it until it's added to the group.
Once you and your opponent have posted and added to the group, the judges will vote on the mocs. There will be SIX judges for each matchup. You must receive 4 out of 6 votes to advance to the next round. In case of a tie, a 7th judge will be brought in to break the tie.
Your judges are:
Chris Phipson, Matt David, Mr. Xenomurphy, Stacy Sterling, Dave Kaleta, El Barto
Alright, if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Here are the categories...
George G. vs Jason Corlett in:
Forced Perspective: Create a false sense of scale in your moc. We're leaving this category WAY open to allow for creative freedom. As long as your forced perspective is the focus of your moc, you're good to go.
Leda Kat vs Giovanni Seynhaeve in:
Movie Poster: Create a LEGO version of a movie poster! It doesn't have to be a blockbuster movie, any flick will do. Just try to stay as true as possible to the original. Please include a copy of or at the least, a link to, the original. You can build this as a mosaic, a 3-D model with figs (minifigs or other scales, we're not picky), or however you'd like.
Good luck to our final four players!

Copy and paste error above, my fault. This round there are SEVEN judges, not six.
Master Kelso has gotten his domestic issues (his house, not... the other kind) back in order and is back in full swing.
So you'll still need 4 out of the 7 votes to advance to the finals but he's one of the "official" judges.
(Mark, good to hear that you're finally settled. Hope you don't have to live out of boxes for too long!)

Lighting Arena to be held next February at Middle East Electricity in Dubai
Two of the world's leading commercial lighting companies, Netherlands-headquartered Philips and Germany's Osram, have lent their support to the Lighting Arena at Middle East Electricity 2004, the region's power and electricity industry trade show and conference, to be held in Dubai next February.
Show organizer, IIR Exhibitions, said the forum will be 50 percent larger than previously. The arena, which is heading for a sell out with 70 percent of exhibitor space already booked, will include a German national pavilion. An Italian pavilion is also on the cards.
"Almost a third of all participants this year showcased lighting products and 35 percent of visitors networked with lighting suppliers. In addition, almost half of all visitors to the show said they were very interested in the vertical lighting show—clear indications of the demand for an expanded and dedicated arena," said Sarah Woodbridge, Exhibitions Director, Power and Energy Division, IIR Exhibitions.
"It has been estimated the Middle East will require more than one trillion dollars in investment over the next 20 years, mainly in the utility sector. With so much being spent on infrastructure projects the business opportunities for commercial and industrial lighting companies are huge."
"The arena will provide a sector specific forum for the latest technology and brands, many of which will be making their regional debut at the show." The Lighting Arena will focus on the full spectrum of commercial and industrial lighting. It will spotlight the latest products, including energy efficient and specialty lamps and ancillary equipment. It will also highlight new commercial opportunities in the region.
The Lighting Arena will be one of three vertical forums at Middle East Electricity 2004, to be held from February 15-18 at the Dubai International Exhibition Center (DIEC). The others will focus on power generation and new and renewable energy. — (menareport.com)

Understanding Swoopo.com and digital cameras
You may have heard about Swoopo in the forums or seen the ads on websites and blogs. Swoopo.com is a concept that became popular in Europe and it is now picking up momentum in the USA. Already Compete.com has their website as one of the Top 3000 in traffic.
The most important thing with Swoopo.com and camera shopping is to make sure you understand that this is not an eBay alternative. It is not your typical online auction site. They are not a traditional auction site.
Swoopo is like a cross between Vegas and buying lottery tickets. If you take only one thing from this blog post, it is this:
"Every Swoopo auction has exactly one winner who gets a great deal and everybody else who bids loses actual money."
It is not for traditional bargain hunters
If you are the bargain hunter type who loves bargains and our Camera Deals blog, Swoopo is probably not for you. Unlike bargain hunting where you only spend money if you find a good deal you like, Swoopo is the opposite. You spend money no matter what and maybe, maybe, you win a great deal.
Entertainment and Excitement personality types
If you are the type who can spend hours and hours in the Vegas establishments and love the thrill of the game and the chase, then Swoopo is probably a good match for you. You will lose money, but you may hit the jackpot. There are no guarantees of winning anything ever!
How do you join?
1. You register (FREE) - must be 18 or older
2. You buy bids in packs of 30, 50, 100, 300, or 700. Each bid costs $0.75.
3. 30 times $0.75 = $22.50 - that's the minimum you have to spend to "play"
4. At this point, you should assume that the $22.50 is LOST.
5. If that makes you uncomfortable, EJECT now!
6. If you are comfortable with that, then you buy your first bid-pack
7. Find auctions you are interested in
8. Each time you bid, the auction price goes up a little bit, and you are charged $0.75
9. Each time there is a new bid, the auction is extended by a few additional seconds
10. You can place automated bids with the BidButler
11. When there are no new bids, a winner is declared
How they make their money
+ Digital cameras often have penny price-increments
+ Each new bid raises the price of the camera by 1 cent, but the bid costs each bidder $0.75
+ So if a digital camera that is worth $500 in the open market receives 1000 bids, it means Swoopo takes $750 (1000 times $0.75) in bid earnings and only spends $500 on the prize = $250 profit
+ the winner of this example would pay $10 (1000 times 1 cent) plus reasonable shipping (eg $13 S&H for the Nikon D5000 kit) to get her/his camera
