Birth, death and fetal death certificates are the source documents for
data on these events. Birth certificates are usually completed by hospital
personnel, while death and fetal death certificates are prepared by hospital
personnel, physicians, medical examiners and funeral directors. Certificates
of births, deaths and fetal deaths which occur in New Jersey are transmitted
through local registrars to the State Registrar for processing and filing.
Through agreements sponsored by the national Vital Statistics Cooperative
Program, information from birth, death and fetal death certificates for
New Jersey residents are sent to the State Registrar when these events
occur in other states. Information from certificates on out-of-state vital
events are provided under the program for statistical purposes only.
The birth, death and fetal death data presented in this report were
generated from data files available at the time of preparation of the
respective chapters. Any data pertaining to a vital event for which a
certificate was filed after that time or relating to corrections or revisions
made since the data were processed for this report are not included. Birth
and death computer files are periodically updated by Bureau of Vital Statistics
and Center for Health Statistics staff based on correction reports received
from local registrars and from quarterly data quality control analyses
conducted by the Center for Health Statistics. This report incorporates
data from the most recently updated files. Thus, data for the current
year presented in future reports of vital events may differ slightly from
numbers presented in this report.
Marriages and Divorces
Information on marriages in this report was obtained from marriage certificates
issued in New Jersey. Marriage certificates are filed with the State Registrar.
Divorce and annulment statistics were provided by the New Jersey Superior
Court, Chancery Division. Marriages are recorded by the place of issuance
of the certificate and divorces and annulments are recorded by place of
judgment. Marriages, divorces and annulments of New Jersey residents which
occur outside of the State are not included in this report, while marriages
and divorces of out-of-state residents occurring in New Jersey are included.
Reporting of cases of selected communicable diseases to the State Department of Health is required under the New Jersey Sanitary
Code, Chapter II and the N.J.A.C. 8:57. Cases of AIDS are reportable to
the HIV/AIDS Surveillance Program in the AIDS Epidemiological Services
Unit of the Division of AIDS Prevention and Control, while reports of
other communicable diseases are filed with appropriate units within the
Division of Communicable Diseases. Summary reports of cases of communicable
diseases by county of residence and selected demographic characteristics
are provided by these units.
Population figures for 1994 which are presented in this report and used
to calculate various rates are estimates developed by the U. S. Bureau
of the Census for the National Cancer Institute. Estimates were developed
for the state and the twenty-one counties by age, race, Hispanic ethnicity
and sex categories. These estimates may be revised by the Census Bureau,
as a series of estimates for the decade are developed. The current set
of estimates presented in this report have not been rounded. However,
it should not be presumed that they have the degree of accuracy which
such precise figures might imply. Official 1994 population estimates for
New Jersey and its counties are available through the Center for Health
Statistics and through the Division of Labor Market and Demographic Research
of the New Jersey Department of Labor.
Allocation of vital events by place of residence within the State is
sometimes difficult because classification depends on the statement of
the usual place of residence provided by the informant at the time the
certificate is completed. For a variety of reasons, the information given
may be incorrectly recorded. A common source of error is the confusion
of mailing address with residence address. The degree to which incorrect
information on residence has been recorded on the certificates is not
precisely known, but this issue is generally a problem only for certain
minor civil divisions. For this reason, municipality data are not presented
in this report.
The reporting of births and deaths is considered to be essentially complete.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), more than
99 percent of births and deaths are registered. Reporting of fetal deaths
is believed to be somewhat less complete. For later periods of gestation,
however, fetal death reporting is thought to be more complete (NCHS, 1994).
The completeness of reporting by residence is dependent on the effective
functioning of the interstate data exchange program for certificates fostered
and encouraged by NCHS. Research has shown that there is some degree of
slippage in receiving information on all births and deaths of New Jersey
residents occurring in other states. However, the number of missing events
is thought to be small, relative to the overall number of events.
The quality of the birth, death and fetal death data included in this
report is a function of the accuracy and completeness of the information
recorded on the respective certificates and of the quality control procedures
employed in the coding and keying processes. A query program in which
the individual(s) responsible for completing the certificate is questioned
about missing or conflicting information is carried out by staff of the
Bureau of Vital Statistics of the New Jersey Department of Health. This process is augmented by the data quality control
analyses performed by the Center for Health Statistics using all of the
NCHS edit criteria.
In order to participate in the national Vital Statistics Cooperative
Program, states had to achieve an error rate of two percent or less on
each certificate item for three consecutive months. The error rates relate
to both coding and data entry errors. New Jersey has met the error tolerance
requirements for the cooperative program. After satisfying initial requirements,
a monthly sample of records is used to determine that the error rate on
each birth certificate item is approximately four percent or less and
is no more than two percent of each death certificate other than the medical
cause-of-death information. Due to the complexity of the coding system,
cause-of-death coding has a five percent error tolerance level set by
NCHS. Multiple cause-of- death coding of New Jersey death records is performed
by NCHS staff.
Racial designations used in this report are white, black and other races,
which includes all racial groups other than white or black. The reporting
of ethnicity is limited to Hispanic and non- Hispanic categories. These
classifications are based on self- reports, or in the case of death records,
on reports from respondents, usually a family member, or from persons
responsible for preparing the death certificates. The race and ethnicity
of an infant are not reported on the birth certificate and are classified
for statistical purposes as the race and ethnicity of the mother.
A racial group (white, black or a detailed list of eight other races
and an unknown race category) and an ethnicity (Hispanic or non-Hispanic)
are reported for each individual for whom a vital record is filed. Thus
persons who are identified as Hispanic have also been included in any
analysis of data by race, in one of the racial groups or in the race not
stated category, if a racial group is not reported.
Apgar Score -- a summary measure of an infant's clinical condition based
on heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, reflex irritability and
color taken at one and five minutes after delivery. Each of the factors
is given a score of 0, 1, or 2; the sum of these five values is the Apgar
score which can range from 0 to 10. A score of 10 is optimal and a low
score (usually considered to be less than 7) is considered an indication
of potential health problems and raises concerns about the subsequent
health and survival of the infant.
Birth Weight -- the first weight of the fetus or newborn obtained
after delivery. Birth weight is recorded in grams.
Live Birth -- the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother
of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy,
which, after such separation, breathes or shows any evidence of life,
such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite
movement of voluntary muscles.
Low Birth Weight -- birth weight of less than 2,500 grams or
approximately 5 pounds, 8 ounces. Prior to 1989, New Jersey defined low
birth weight as 2,500 grams or less.
Marital Status -- the marital status of the mother for statistical
purposes is determined for data years after 1988 by the response to the
birth certificate item, "Mother married? (At birth, conception, or any
time between)".
Medical Risk Factors for This Pregnancy (NCHS, 1996):
Cardiac Disease - Disease of the
Acute or chronic lung disease - Disease
of the lungs during pregnancy.
Diabetes - Metabolic disorder characterized
by excessive discharge of urine and persistent thirst; includes
juvenile onset, adult onset, and gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
Genital herpes - Infection of the
skin of the genital area by herpes simplex virus.
Hydramnios/Oligohydramnios - Any
noticeable excess (hydramnios) or lack (oligohydramnios) of amniotic
Hemoglobinopathy - A blood disorder
caused by alteration in the genetically determined molecular structure
of hemoglobin (example: sickle cell anemia).
Hypertension, chronic - Blood pressure
persistently greater than 140/90, diagnosed prior to onset of
pregnancy or before the 20th week of gestation.
Hypertension, pregnancy-associated
- An increase in blood pressure of at least 30mm Hg systolic or
15 mm Hg diastolic on two measurements taken 6 hours apart after
the 20th week of gestation.
Eclampsia - The occurrence of convulsions
and/or coma unrelated to other cerebral conditions in women with
signs and symptoms of pre-eclampsia.
Incompetent cervix - Characterized
by painless dilation of the cervix in the second trimester or
early in the third trimester of pregnancy, with premature expulsion
of membranes through the cervix and ballooning of the membranes
into the vagina, followed by rupture of the membranes and subsequent
expulsion of the fetus.
Previous infant 4,000+ grams - The
birth weight of a previous live-born child was over 4,000 grams
(8 pounds, 14 ounces).
Previous preterm or small-for-gestational
age infant - Previous birth of an infant prior to term (before
37 completed weeks of gestation) or of an infant weighing less
than the tenth percentile for gestational age using a standard
weight-for-age chart.
Renal disease - Kidney disease.
Rh sensitization - The process or
state of becoming sensitized to the Rh factor as when an Rh-negative
woman is pregnant with an Rh-positive fetus.
Uterine bleeding - Any clinically
significant bleeding during the pregnancy taking into consideration
the stage of pregnancy; any second or third trimester bleeding
of the uterus prior to the onset of labor.
Previous Pregnancy Terminations -- from the mother's pregnancy
history on the certificate of live birth, a previous spontaneous or induced
termination of pregnancy at any time after conception that did not result
in a live birth.
Trimester of Pregnancy -- the first trimester includes the first
12 weeks of pregnancy, the second trimester encompasses the thirteenth
through twenty-fourth weeks and the third trimester is the period after
the twenty-fourth week through delivery.
Very Low Birth Weight -- birth weight of less than 1,500 grams
or approximately 3 pounds, 5 ounces.
Cause of Death Classification -- a system of specification of
the diseases and/or injuries which led to death and the sequential order
of their occurrence. The version of the system currently in use is the
International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (1977),
sponsored by the World Health Organization.
Fetal Death -- death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction
from its mother of a product of conception; the fetus shows no signs of
life such as breathing or beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical
cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles. In New Jersey, the law
requires reporting of fetal deaths of 20 or more weeks of gestation.
Infant Death -- death within the first year of life.
Maternal Death -- a death in which the certifying physician has
designated a maternal condition as the underlying cause of death. In the
Ninth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases,
(1977), the World Health Organization defined a maternal death as "the
death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy,
irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy, from any cause
related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from
accidental or incidental causes".
Neonatal Death -- death of an infant within the first 27 days
of life.
Perinatal Mortality -- for purposes of this report, includes
fetal deaths of 20 or more weeks of gestation and neonatal deaths.
Postneonatal Mortality -- death of an infant from 28 days to
one year of life.
Underlying Cause of Death -- the disease or injury which initiated
the train of events leading directly to death or the circumstances of
the unintentional injury or violence which produced the fatal injury.
All cause-of-death data in this report relate to the underlying cause
of death coded from the death certificate.
Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) -- a measure of the number
of years of life not lived by each individual who died before reaching
a predetermined age. For purposes of this report, the predetermined age
is 65. This measure weights deaths at younger ages more heavily than deaths
at older ages; the younger the age at death, the greater the number of
years of potential life lost. The YPLL for a population is computed as
the sum of all the individual YPLL for individuals who died during a specific
time period.
Communicable Diseases
Stages of Syphilis (Larsen and Kraus, 1990):
Primary Syphilis -- begins within approximately 30 hours after
infection; a primary chancre usually forms within two through six weeks
of infection. Both treponemal and nontreponemal antibodies appear one
through four weeks after the lesion has formed. Even without treatment,
the lesion usually resolves within two months.
Secondary Syphilis -- occurs within six weeks of healing of the
primary lesion. Disseminated lesions appear that are attributable to systemic
infection. Virtually every organ and tissue of the body are affected.
Whether treated or untreated, the lesions of secondary syphilis usually
resolve within 2 through 10 weeks.
Latent Syphilis -- this stage represents a conversion from an
acute to a chronic infection. After the first year, the host's immune
response suppresses the infection to the point where lesions are not clinically
apparent. A patient with reactive nontreponemal or treponemal tests in
the absence of clinical symptoms is said to have latent syphilis. A patient
is categorized as having early latent syphilis if the serologic tests
of that patient have been nonreactive within the preceding year or if
symptoms suggestive of primary or secondary syphilis were present during
that time. Other patients are considered to have late latent syphilis
and should be evaluated for potential asymptomatic neurosyphilis.
Verified Case of Tuberculosis -- is also referred to as a new
active case of tuberculosis. These cases are characterized by (1) any
bacteriological confirmation of the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
or (2) in the absence of bacteriological confirmation, for a diagnosis
of active pulmonary tuberculosis the patient must present a positive purified
protein derivative (PPD), or must exhibit a positive chest x-ray, or in
the case of children, must be epidemiologically linked to another active
case of tuberculosis. In the case of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, the
patient must show signs of clinical improvement while taking tuberculosis
medication (K. Shilkret, personal communication, 1992).
All Tables in the Report
Not Stated -- an inclusive term used to represent data which
are missing, unknown, not available, or not classifiable.
Rates and Ratios
The presentation of vital statistics in the form of rates and ratios
facilitates comparisons between political subdivisions with populations
of different sizes or between subgroups of a population. Crude rates are
calculated by dividing the number of events of a type that occur to the
residents of an area, e.g., births, deaths, fetal deaths, by the resident
population of an area or subgroup. The events are limited to those that
occur within a specific time period, usually a year, and the population
is, in general, the mid-year estimate of the resident population of the
area, although census counts as of April 1 may be used in decennial census
years. Crude rates are expressed in terms of occurrences within a standard,
rounded population, usually 1,000 or 100,000.
While the denominators for rates consist of the population at risk of
the events included in the numerator (e.g., births, deaths, fetal deaths),
ratios are designed to indicate the relationship between two counts in
which the denominator population is not at risk of the events included
in the numerator. An example of a ratio contained in this report is the
maternal mortality ratio in which the number of deaths due to maternal
causes forms the numerator and the number of live births provides the
In order to compare natality and mortality experience among various
ages and races or between the sexes, rates may be computed for subgroups
of the population. These are referred to as age-, race-, or sex-specific
rates and are calculated by dividing the relevant events within a subgroup
by the population in the subgroup. Death rates from specific causes may
also be calculated, with the numerator consisting of the deaths from the
particular cause in an area and the denominator comprised of the population
at risk of the disease or condition.
The numbers of births and deaths in an area are directly related to
the demographic characteristics of the area's population. In comparing
rates over time or among geographic areas, it is helpful to eliminate
the effects of the differences in the populations' demographic characteristics
on the comparison. This can be accomplished through adjustments of the
rates for the particular characteristics of interest. Since age is the
variable that has the greatest effect on the magnitude of rates (Shryock,
Siegel and Associates, 1976), the most common type of adjustment of rates
is for age. Direct adjustment of vital statistics rates involves application
of existing rates (age-, race-, or sex-specific) to a standard population
to arrive at the theoretical number of events that would occur
in the standard population, at the rates prevailing in the actual population.
These events are then divided by the total number of persons in the standard
population to arrive at an adjusted rate. Adjusted rates are index numbers
and cannot be compared to crude or other actual rates. The use of adjusted
rates is limited to comparison with other adjusted rates, based on the
same standard population. The standard population used in this report
is the United States 1940 standard million, derived from the counts of
the 1940 decennial census.
The definition of rates and ratios used in this report follows. It should
be noted that alternative forms exist for some of these statistics. Some
other states and the federal government may employ different formulae
for the computation of selected rates, in particular, the perinatal and
fetal death rates.
Age-Adjusted Death Rate -- Direct Method-the elimination of the
effect of age on the crude death rates for purposes of comparison with
other rates by applying actual age-specific rates to a standard population.
The resulting death rate in the standard population is age-adjusted and
can be compared to other death rates age-adjusted to the same standard
Age-Specific Birth Rate -- the number of resident live births
to females in a specific age group per 1,000 females in the age group.
Cause-Specific Death Rate -- the number of resident deaths from
a specific cause per 100,000 population.
Crude Birth Rate -- the number of resident live births per 1,000
Crude Death Rate -- the number of resident deaths per 100,000
Divorce Rate -- the number of divorces occurring in an area per
1,000 population
Fetal Death Rate -- the number of resident fetal deaths of 20
or more weeks gestation per 1,000 resident live births plus fetal deaths
of 20 or more weeks of gestation.
General Fertility Rate -- the number of resident live births
per 1,000 females aged 15 through 44 years.
Infant Death Rate -- the number of resident deaths under one
year of age per 1,000 population.
Infant Mortality Rate -- the ratio of the number of deaths to
children less than one year of age in a given year per 1,000 births in
the same year.
Marriage Rate -- the number of marriage certificates issued in
an area per 1,000 population.
Maternal Mortality Ratio -- the number of resident deaths from
complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium per 100,000
resident live births.
Neonatal Death Rate -- the number of resident infant deaths within
the first 27 days of life per 1,000 live births.
Perinatal Death Rate -- the number of resident neonatal deaths
plus resident fetal deaths of 20 or more weeks gestation per 1,000 resident
live births plus fetal deaths of 20 or more weeks gestation.
Postneonatal Death Rate -- the number of resident infant deaths
from 28 days to one year of life per 1,000 live births.
Total Fertility Rate -- the sum of the age-specific birth rates
of women in five-year age groups, multiplied by five. This rate yields
the number of children a cohort of 1,000 women would bear if they experienced
the existing age-specific birth rates throughout their childbearing years.
Caution should be exercised in the interpretation of rates and ratios
based on small numbers. Chance variations in the number of vital events
occurring in sparsely populated areas can cause rates to fluctuate widely
over time. For purposes of analyzing vital statistics rates for small
areas, calculation of three or five-year average rates and other statistical
methodologies for analyzing small numbers may provide more meaningful
Cause-of-Death Rankings
The cause-of-death rankings found in this report are based on the list
of 38 cause groups and a residual category employed in the cause-of-death
distributions by race-sex groups and age and by county in the report.
The one exception is that the cause groups Motor Vehicle Fatalities and
Other Unintentional Injuries are combined into a single category, Unintentional
Injuries, for purposes of ranking leading causes of death. As of the publication
of New Jersey Health Statistics, 1992, a minor change was made
in the grouping of certain infectious and parasitic diseases which removed
a few ICD-9 codes that had previously been included in the "Residual"
category and placed them in the "Other Infectious and Parasitic Disease"
grouping. This was done to make the groupings more consistent with NCHS'
presentation of mortality data.
The cause-of-death ranking of infant deaths are based on the NCHS List
of 61 Selected Causes of Infant Death (Singh, G.K., et al., 1996).

Memorial Highway Dedication for Post 3 area
Troopers Killed in the Line of Duty
(Bowling Green, KY) - A Memorial Highway Dedication ceremony for troopers killed in the line of duty in the Post 3 area was held today in front of the Kentucky State Police Post at 3119 Nashville Rd. Bowling Green, KY. Kentucky State Police along with the families of those troopers killed and other guests were on hand for the unveiling of the signs that will name sections of roads in the post area.
On March 20, 2002 Governor Patton signed Senate Bill 18 which allows the Kentucky State Police Commissioner to request a state road or segment of a state road, to be
named in memory and honor of troopers who have died in the line of duty. Since 1948, 23 troopers have given the supreme sacrifice to insure the safety of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Senator David Karem was the primary sponsor of Senate bill 18, which passed unanimously in both chambers of the Kentucky General Assembly.
"It is our hope that these signs, as well as the 19 others that will be erected across the Commonwealth, serve as a permanent reminder to all of us of the courage and commitment Kentucky State Troopers face each day," remarked Kentucky State Police Colonel Rodney Brewer.
The locations of the Memorial Highways in the Post 3 area are as follows:
Warren County:
Lt. William C. Smith Memorial Highway (US 31-W mile post 9.000 - 10.567)
Lt. Smith was shot while trying to apprehend a murder suspect in Warren county on November 10, 1972 and died April 26, 1973.
Logan County:
Trooper Walter O. Thurtell Memorial Highway (US 431 mile post 1.485 - 14.887)
Trooper Thurtell was killed in an automobile accident while en route to answer a call for assistance in Logan County on September 29, 1972.
Butler County:
Detective Darrell V. Phelps Memorial Highway (Ky. 1153 mile post 7.980 - 15.166)
Det. Phelps was killed as a result of gunshot wound sustained when he and another officer were fired upon while they investigated a field of cultivated marijuana in a remote location of Butler County on August 7, 1981
Warren County:
Trooper William H. Barrett Memorial Highway (US 68-80 mile post 0.000 - 5.586)
Trooper Barrett was killed by a gunshot from ambush as he exited his cruiser in Warren County on December 19, 1971.

The dos and don'ts of an effective resume
Wednesday, August 24, 2011 1:16 PM EDT
Wednesday, August 24, 2011 1:18 PM EDT
(ARA) - In today's highly competitive job market, millions of people are preparing resumes in an effort to find employment. Before jumping headlong into a job search, it is important to consider the type of information that is appropriate to include on your resume.
Jeannine L. Moentmann, paralegal and adjunct Instructor at
Brown Mackie College - St. Louis
, teaches students how to write effective resumes that make potential employers want to learn more about them.
Moentmann specialized in employment law for six of her 15 years as a paralegal. In addition to her ongoing legal work, she currently teaches law and
business courses
in the Criminal Justice program at
Brown Mackie College - St. Louis
. "Most people think the purpose of a resume is to get a job, but the real purpose of a resume is to get the interview," she says. "A resume is the employer's first look at you. It must stand out among the potentially hundreds they will receive for an open position."
"Each resume should be tailored to the individual job description. You can highlight specific areas of your background that target the position," Moentmann continues. The Bureau of Labor Statistics supports this recommendation in the "Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition," advising applicants to emphasize the experience, accomplishments, education and skills that most closely fit the
job they want
Resume content
As you compile your information, keep in mind the following sections available to showcase your qualifications.
* Header: Include your name, address, phone number and email address. "Your email address should not amuse or confuse a potential employer," states Moentmann. "I recommend creating a professional sounding email identity for your search."
* Career objective: Optional; a brief statement of the contributions you can make to a specific organization. A well-written career objective can add value to a resume; however, it can also disqualify candidates if the objective does not match the job description.
* Summary of qualifications: Optional; an overview of your most valuable career talents, skills and accomplishments. Leading with a summary makes the resume easier to read and ensures your most impressive qualifications are not overlooked.
* Employment history: Included in most resume formats; add each relevant employer's name and location, and dates of employment, job title, significant duties, accomplishments and promotions.
* Skills and accomplishments: Optional; highlight relevant skills, including software or equipment proficiencies, and aptitudes such self-motivation, working well under stress, teamwork, etc.
* Education: Include college information; omit high school information, especially among older candidates.
* Honors and activities: Optional; highlight professional and educational accolades, membership in professional organizations and volunteer activities.
* Personal data: Optional; consists of hobbies and interests; exercise caution when deciding the information you want to share. Federal and state laws prohibit employers from asking questions about race, age, marital status, ethnicity and religion. It is not appropriate to include this type of information.
* References: A separate document that lists three to five professional individuals that can positively discuss your qualifications, skills and abilities.
You can now choose a resume style that best highlights your value as an ideal candidate for the open position you are seeking.
Chronological resume
The chronological resume is the most common format, with a focus on job history. The most recent positions are listed first. "The chronological style works well for someone who has experience in the field they wish to find employment," says Moentmann. Many people choose to include a career objective in the chronological resume. "If used, it should be concise, customized for each job opening and focused on how you can contribute to the organization," Moentmann says.
Functional resume
The functional resume highlights groups of skill sets instead of listing chronological career experience with each employer. You can categorize key job skills and past accomplishments under relevant headings, such as supervisory and management skills, computer skills, etc. "Each heading would include a summary of appropriate skills and accomplishments," continues Moentmann. "Functional resumes work well when a candidate's skills are transferrable from one field to another or when entering the work force for the first time."
Combination resume
Some applicants prefer to blend the two types of resumes. The combination resume highlights valuable skills and accomplishments as the functional resume does. It also includes an employment history as in the chronological resume. "It's a good way to highlight capabilities and capture the reader to make them want to look further," Moentmann says. "For those who are switching careers, it's an opportunity to explain transferrable skills."
A resume is often a one-page document, however it can extend to two pages as years of experience grow. A well-written resume reflects professionalism and competence in your chosen career. A good resume is also never finished. "My own resume is a constant work in progress," says Moentmann.

Hand Signals
Posted 11 December 2006 - 01:36 PM
Take note, there seem to be signals that are counter to what many would consider safe riding. The two most obvious signals I can see are the signals for Speed Up and the other for Tighten Formation. In group riding, if the leader speeds up that is his choice, but ride your own ride. If you want to speed up to, that's up to you. Also, in group riding, adequate spacing is just as important for bikes as it is for cars. There should be approximately 3 seconds between bikes in ideal situations. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend the use of those two signals.
For group rides:

Additional signals to be used
Add these signals that are not displayed:
1) Foot off peg means a road hazard on the side of the foot off peg
2) Tapping the helmet means LEO's in vicinity (coppers)

Raise your left arm up and down with your index finger extended upward. This indicates the leader wants to speed up.
I won't be using this one. When I start to get farther away, that means I wanted to speed up. Brake lights lit up or me getting closer means I want to slow down. Follow accordingly.

but more like the whole hand upright (not the fingers bent 90° to the palm).
we've use the opposite of "show down" as "speed up" for years. arm extended out above the shoulder, palm up, and pump the arm upward. wrist motions are also hard where arm motions are easier. but that's a HOG site, so perhaps they're used to parade formations? anyone else notice that their helmets have the SMV decal on them?

Okay, I changed the link
"Dedicated to the women who RIDE THEIR OWN motorcycles "
I don't know what's 'normal' for this -- but I've always used:
Add: Point at gas tank -- means next exit/stop, pull over.
Another tip -- don't expect everyone to know what the hand-signals are -- go over them before the ride.
I added another link that contains the type of signal you asked for, and a few more

As an old Harley rider I'm familiar with group riding. Say what you will about Harley riders they have group riding down pretty good. Unlike the solo high mileage riders, Harley club riders tend to go on a lot of group organized rides. They seldom ride solo. I've gone through a few of the handouts and whatnot that I've been given on group riding over the years so here is some of it. Let's start with a short video:
MSF Group Ride Video
Now on to the copied stuff. None of this is original from me.
The following are a few common sense guidelines when riding in a group. Some are extremely basic but may be useful for the first time group rider or even for some of the more experienced riders who have simply not had an opportunity to give it much thought until now or do not ride in groups. Most of the following discussion is intended for group rides of around ten bikes or less. Larger groups may necessitate some modification and/or additions. Whenever possible it is best to match the skills, machines and riding/speed preferences of the group even if it requires splitting the main group into two or more sub-groups.
1) Your first priority must be safety. The fact that you are now riding in a formation should not increase your risk or that of others. For that reason everyone must ride their own ride in a manner that keeps them in their comfort zone. Never exceed your capability or comfort zone just to keep up. If the pace is too quick for you - back off until you feel comfortable. The group will eventually slow to your pace. There is no need to rush to avoid becoming lost or separated from the group.
If you do get separated, do what hikers do, go to the last fork or intersection where you saw the group and wait. The group will backtrack their route and the sweep will pick you up. If the riders have radios then use them to get information. Do not simply keep going to try to catch the pack. If you are on the wrong path, take a wrong turn or shot past a turnoff you will be riding away from the group and even at a slow clip they will never catch you since you are riding away from them. Get a buddy. It is a good idea for each rider to have a buddy in the group to ride with and who can notify the leader if he has a problem along the route.
2) Discipline is essential. When riding in a group, you automatically forfeit some personal autonomy. You should normally maintain your relative position within the group unless doing so would compromise safety. Randomly changing positions is an indication of an undisciplined rider, increases risk for everyone else and should not be condoned. There may be times when changing your position in the formation is the safe thing to do. But before you do, you should have a good reason and it shouldn't be frequent.
3) Trust your leader. This is a two-way deal. You should trust your leader and he must be competent to lead. A good leader will always take into account the equipment, experience and skill level of each rider. He needs to tailor his riding accordingly. A common practice I would like to see more of is a concise briefing by the leader just before the ride. Depending on the nature of the ride and the familiarity of those within the group, this briefing may only take a minute or two. As a minimum, the leader should outline the route and establish the overall tone for the ride. Questions should be addressed before the helmets go on.
The leader or organizer has complete responsibility for the riders following in their wake, and not taking that position seriously is a disservice to fellow riders and dangerous in the bargain. The leader is tasked with monitoring the group for problems and communicating unsafe conditions to everyone on the ride. The role doesnt mean you have to be the best or fastest rider. Taking your fellow riders outside their comfort zone is irresponsible, and should you find yourself on a ride where thats the case, get out of the group ASAP. Unless you signed up for one, a day spent trying to peel the chicken strips off your tires could prove disastrous to you and others in the group.
4) Pay attention and don't assume. This is so basic and elementary that it should not need to be addressed. However, far too many accidents have occurred during group rides where someone just stopped paying attention for a split second and ran into the person in front of them. Be aware of your spacing behind the rider in front in terms of time. Know your own reaction time and stopping capability and don't ride any closer in point of time. Never assume the rider in front will continue at his current pace and never look away for any longer than an instant.
When accelerating from a stop, especially in conjunction with a turn, don't assume the rider in front will continue to accelerate just because his brake light went out and he started to roll. He could subsequently see something that causes him to stop while you are looking over your shoulder for traffic and run into him. Unfortunately, this scenario has also played out all too often.
5) Each rider is directly responsible for the rider behind them. This enhances mutual support. If the rider behind you starts to fall back, so should you. If you lose sight of the person behind you, slow down for a while. If that doesn't work after a period of time - turn around. Something has obviously happened and he probably could use your help. As you can see, if the last person in the formation had his engine quit (ran out of gas) or crashed eventually the entire group would be at his aid. For larger groups the leader should identify smaller units that would stay together for such situations. If it is necessary to stop or if you decide to take a different route, it is essential that someone in the group knows where you are.
6) Type of formation (staggered, trail, line abreast) and spacing. This depends on your environment (weather, road type and condition, speed, congestion, etc.), and your mission. One extreme would be in heavy stop and go rush-hour traffic at very slow speeds. A close staggered formation with no less than nose/tail clearance (unless stopped) might be the smartest formation. In city traffic a closely spaced formation will discourage cars from "cutting" in. Leave them room and they may be tempted to cut-in. Better to tighten up the spacing a bit so cars perceive the group as a homogeneous unit.
The other extreme would be a "spirited" ride out in the hill country on a twisty open road with no traffic. Here the smart formation might be an extended trail just keeping the guy in front and in back of you in sight.
Side by side or line abreast is strictly a "show" formation suitable for funerals, processions and such and has no place in an informal group ride. It diminishes your margin of error and increases risk of a collision. However, when pulling up to a stop, stopping two abreast is probably a good idea.
Unless briefed otherwise, during the course of a typical informal group ride your position (formation and spacing) should be fluid and dictated by the overall situation. You might find yourself going from a close staggered to an extended trail formation and back again all in a relative short amount of time.
At times you may want to have increased spacing to avoid road hazards like rock chips while at the same time desire to keep the formation relatively tight. Two bikes riding close staggered in trail with other groups of two works well in this case.
Sometimes when on a two-lane road riding staggered and you find yourself on the left track it is a good idea to move over to the right momentarily when on-coming traffic passes. This is especially true for larger vehicles like 18-wheelers. This is to have a little more distance and time in case something falls off; he veers towards you, or throws a "grit blast" in his wake.
7) Establishing the spacing. Because there are so many variables that could dictate the optimum spacing, number two in the formation should normally set the spacing for the group. Nobody else is in a position to logically set or change the spacing in a fluid environment. As such, the number two rider should be experienced and have a solid understanding of group ride dynamics. In city traffic you may need to frequently make minor deviations to the group spacing to avoid running in the blind-spots of other vehicles.
Although you may be number five and can't see number two, you would only need to maintain the spacing that number four has on three. In other words, set your own spacing based on the spacing taken by the guy in front of you. Don't exceed your comfort level in order to maintain spacing.
8) Speed and lanes. It depends. The leader initially sets the pace but the slowest rider should normally determine it. If everyone follows the guidelines above then speed will take care of itself. A modification to this might be on country rides where there is a pre-ride agreement that the faster riders will be in the front of the group and the slower riders in the rear, and that the faster group will wait at all turn-decision points until the second group catches up. A common misconception is that going slower is always safer. Not true. On the superslabs, going slower can get you killed.
With few exceptions, the leader must tailor aggressiveness and average speed to the lowest level of capability in the group. Capability is defined and limited by skill, experience, machine or a combination of all three. Speed preferences should be discussed and agreed upon before the ride begins.
On multilane roads the group should strive to be in the same lane as the leader. However, don't compromise safety to get there. If a car cuts into the formation, analyze the best course of action to get back in formation. You might just want to ride it out behind the car for a while if other options aren't obvious.
Normally on superslabs the leader should be in what he considers to be the safest lane for conditions. Many times with modern bikes and competent riders this is the furthest left lane going just slightly faster than the general traffic flow. This limits, but doesn't negate your vulnerability from the rear by the hyper-speeders. Generally the right lane has the most hazards in the form of exiting and entering cars at sometimes drastically different speeds. A middle lane also has its hazards. In a middle lane, you are subject to crazies on both sides of you and it is difficult to isolate" the threat.

Group Riding Dynamics
Reprinted from the American Motorcycle Association.
From the August 2008 issue of American Motorcyclist.
You ask:
I often ride in groups of three to six motorcycles, and were often on freeways. Sometimes, when changing lanes, the lead rider will keep the same position in the lane (Generally, in the left wheeltrack), and sometimes, a different lead rider will change positions depending on which lane hes in (left wheeltrack in the right lane, right wheeltrack in the left lane). My question is: Where should the lead rider be, and does it vary from lane-to-lane on a freeway? And should the rest of the riders re-stagger when and if the lead riders position changes? Simon Morris, AMA No. 807523, Winter Park, FL
The Motorcycle Safety Foundation Responds:
The whole group's formation should be dynamic, yet follow a few basic guidelines.
If the road is straight and there are no unusual traffic or surface conditions, the staggered riding formation allows a proper space cushion between motorcycles so that each rider has enough time and space to maneuver and to react to hazards, while keeping the group compact. The leader should ride in the left third of the lane, while the next rider stays at least one second behind in the right third of the lane; the rest of the group follows the same pattern. If the group is using this pattern, the leader should remain in the left position, even after the group changes lanes, so the other riders aren't continually changing their positions in response.
However, if the leader feels that the center third of right third of the lane is the best position for the road and traffic conditions, then the leader can signal the group to adjust to a single-fine formation, with a 2-second following distance throughout. A single-file formation should be used on a curvy road, under conditions of poor visibility or poor road surfaces, entering/leaving highways, or other situations where an increased space cushion or maneuvering room is needed.
The more we learn and talk about group riding the better off (and safer) we will be while riding in a group. Ride safe!

I find it better to just avoid groups larger than four or five and only if they have similar skills.
I agree with that. The smaller the group the better IMHO.
I really enjoyed the visit with you in La Pine. You have a great shop.

Take a look at these pictures as Dome Technology crews inflate a giant three story balloon on the south side of the Evansville Museum.
Crews started inflating the balloon around 7 a.m. Friday morning. Work was originally scheduled to start Thursday afternoon but was pushed back.
After the balloon is ready, the company, based out of Idaho, will spray a layer of polyurethane on it so that it will harden and keep its shape.
Once that hardens, they will eventually spray a thick concrete slurry that will become the dome.
When finished the dome will be an immersive theater.
This is all part of the $14 million Evansville Museum expansion, which is set to be complete sometime January 2014.

Oilers at Canucks, G6/07-08
This is Brett Callighen as a member of the Rhode Island Reds in about 1976. He was maybe 23. Callighen came out of nowhere to have a nice pro career and played left wing with at least one above average center in his time in Edmonton.
Tonight's an important game for this club. They are starting to look like the down slope on a rollercoaster ride and although it hasn't reached "they've traded Ryan Smyth and they are bleeding out at an arena near you" proportions there are lots of signs that this team is in a slump.
The defense looks like the Marx Brothers, the goaltending looked like they had just smoked a spliff in a Cheech and Chong movie and half the forwards looked like they would rather spend some time in Springfield.
Fresh meat from the farm to ponder, the kids that are alright are all that, and the veterans we love (like Horcoff) are showing up as always.
Plus Hemsky's about to explode.

Oh the tragedy! Many Americans may not be too familiar with Katie Price, but over in the UK, Price is widely known for her television appearances, her lackluster singing career, and her published books. With so many hobbies, we can only imagine that this little harlot has plenty of money to spend which is evident in her newest toy, a Bugatti Veyron .
Price laid out £1million - or around $1.6 million at the current exchange rates - on this beautifully fast supercar and plans on ruining it by painting it pink to match her other vehicles. Yeah, she has other pink cars to boast of. A close source to her said: "She will anger petrol-heads worldwide by turning such a beautiful, iconic machine bright pink. But at least it will match her other cars." Just goes to show that money can't buy taste.
In addition to the high cost of the supercar, it seems Price has also purchased a rather expensive "F1" license plate. The Sun doesn't say anything about the F1 plate slapped right on the front of the car, but it looks very similar to the license plate auctioned off in 2008 to Afzal Kahn (Kahn Design owner) for £440,000 (about $880,000). We don't know for sure, but with the amount of money Price throws around, we wouldn't be surprised.

Contained Places
The Township of Rama was first named in 1820 and was originally part of York County, but was transferred to Ontario County when it was established in 1852. At that time it was incorporated as an amalgamated municipality with the neighbouring township, Mara. The two townships were later reincorporated as separate municipalities in 1869.
Ontario County was dissolved upon the formation of the Regional Municipality of Durham in 1974, and both townships were transferred to Simcoe County. As part of the municipal restructuring of Simcoe County, Mara and Rama Townships were reamalgamated to form Ramara in 1994.
A portion of Rama Township was allocated to form what became the Mnjikaning First Nation 32 Indian reserve of the Chippewas of Mnjikaning First Nation. Prior to 1836 when the lands were surrendered by treaty, many natives were living on the narrow strip of land that separates lakes Simcoe and Couchiching between Atherley and Orillia. After that time, the local Indian Agent began purchasing lands in Rama Township and the natives were relocated there.
The geographical makeup of Rama and Mara is best shown in a map of Ontario County circa 1951 from Ontario Archives from which the sketchmap on this page has been taken.
Research Tips
The primary source for basic documents (vital statistics, land records, wills) for people who lived in the Province of Ontario is the Archives of Ontario, 134 Ian Macdonald Blvd, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M7A 2C5.
Early Records
Civil registration did not begin in the province until 1869. Before then there may be church records of baptisms and burials. For the most part these are still held by the denomination who recorded them. Copies of marriage records made pre-1869 had to be sent by individual clergymen to the registrar of the county in which the marriage took place. These marriage records are available through Ontario Archives, on micorfilm through LDS libraries, and on paid and unpaid websites, but because they were copied at the registrars' offices, they cannot be considered a primary source.
Vital Records after 1869
Birth, marriage and death registrations are not open to the public until a specific number of years after the event occurred. Births to 1914 are now available [October 2012]; dates for marriages and deaths are later. Birth and death registration was not universally carried out in the early years after its adoption. Deaths were more apt to be reported than births for several years. The more rural the area, the less likely it would be that these happenings were reported to the authorities.
Land Records and Wills
Information on how to access land records and wills is best sought on the Archives of Ontario website. An ancestor's land holding might be found on Canadian County Atlas Digital Project if he was in occupancy circa 1878.
Association for the Preservation of Ontario Land Registry Office Documents (APOLROD). A list of Land Registry Offices for all Counties of Ontario.
The original censuses are in the hands of Library and Archives Canada. All of the original census (1851-1911) images are online with the exception of that for 1861. Not all of them are indexed. Later censuses are not yet available. Census divisions were redrawn as the population increased and more land was inhabited.

I don't know if someone posted this before or has looked it up but here's a page I found interesting and might answer some questions.
link [or read below]
Low-Glycemic Diet for Acne
Lowglycemicdiet A low-glycemic diet may help improve acne, a new study reports. In addition, the low-glycemic diet may also result in weight loss and body mass reduction.
Researchers from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, explained that although the pathogenesis of acne is currently unknown, recent studies suggest that dietary factors, including the glycemic load, may be involved.
The study investigated whether a low-glycemic-load diet improves acne lesion counts in young males.
Researchers recruited 43 male acne patients aged 15-25 years for the 12-week, parallel design, dietary intervention incorporating investigator-blinded dermatology assessments.
The experimental treatment was a low-glycemic-load diet composed of 25 percent energy from protein and 45 percent energy from low-glycemic-index carbohydrates. In contrast, the control situation emphasized carbohydrate-dense foods without reference to the glycemic index. Acne lesion counts and severity were assessed during monthly visits, and insulin sensitivity was measured at baseline and 12 weeks.
The researchers found that at 12 weeks, the mean total lesion counts had decreased more in the low-glycemic-load group than in the control group. The experimental diet also resulted in a greater reduction in weight and body mass index and a greater improvement in insulin sensitivity than did the control diet.
The authors concluded that the improvement in acne and insulin sensitivity after a low-glycemic-load diet suggests that nutrition-related lifestyle factors may play a role in the pathogenesis of acne. However, further studies are needed to isolate the independent effects of weight loss and dietary intervention and to further clarify the underlying mechanisms.
The glycemic index is a numerical index that ranks carbohydrates based on their rate of glycemic response (i.e. their conversion to glucose within the human body). Glycemic index uses a scale of 0 to 100, with higher values given to foods that cause the most rapid rise in blood sugar. Pure glucose serves as a reference point and is given a glycemic index (GI) of 100.
Foods with a high GI are those that are rapidly digested and absorbed and result in marked fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Low-GI foods, by virtue of their slow digestion and absorption, produce gradual rises in blood sugar and insulin levels and have proven benefits for health.
The theory behind the glycemic index is to minimize insulin-related problems by identifying and avoiding foods that have the greatest effect on blood sugar, especially for those with diabetes.
Low-GI diets have been shown to improve both glucose and lipid levels in people with diabetes (type 1 and type 2) and reduce insulin levels and insulin resistance. Low-GI diets may also have benefits for weight control because they help control appetite and delay hunger.
Reliance on GI may lead to over consumption. GI should only be used to rate a food's carbohydrate content. If it is used as the sole factor for determining diet, individuals may easily end up over consuming fat and total calories.
A major criticism of the GI-diet is that the reference food used to determine the glycemic index, white bread, is popular only within a particular culture. Even proponents of this diet acknowledge that the glycemic index tests were developed for people who eat at least 50 grams of carbohydrates per day. Results for people whose foods do not feature large amounts of carbohydrates have not been investigated.
The GI value of a meal featuring every major food group is difficult to predict. Consumers should note that the GI diet is not approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and that following the USDA's Food Pyramid is one potential way to eat healthfully, although some might disagree.
Some junk foods, including chocolate, potato chips and many candy bars, have low GI indexes. However, some suggest that this might be due to small portion sizes. The safety of this diet is not yet well-researched, but consumers should avoid excessive consumption of these generally unhealthy products if they choose to abide by the GI diet. Most of the information about the GI diet available on the Internet is also promoting a product related to this weight-loss plan. Consumers should critically evaluate the bias of information about the GI diet available on the Internet.
Integrative therapies with strong, good or unclear scientific evidence for the treatment of acne include vitamin A (retinol), zinc, guggul and tea tree oil.

Yes, that's the most known study. It has even been cited in many popular magazines, although apparently derms aren't reading those. There's also been a study on how a similar diet helps PCOS/PMS issues.

Yeah. There's some discussion in the thread from a few months ago about DIM not helping or making the OP's acne worse. I think it's by lollypolly. One of our Vegans.

I felt my body jolt awake, and if it weren't for his arms, I probably would have rolled off the bed. I jumped out of my dream and into reality. I knew it was a good dream, but I just couldn't remember it. How is that possible? It was happening not even a second ago, and I just couldn't remember it.
His arms tightened around me as he moaned and stretched his long limbs against my body. I tried to open my eyes, but they were stuck shut. He pulled me closer, tighter, until I couldn't breathe. "Joe!" I screeched playfully.
His muffled laugh was hot against my neck. "Good morning, love," he whispered, his lips pushed against my ear. I flinched at his playful touch on my sensitive skin. "How was your slumber?" He asked in his stupid British accent. Finally, I had unglued my eyes and they were adjusting to the room around me. How had I gotten to my room? I had expected to wake up on the bathroom floor…
He moved his hand up my body and then squeezed my face together. "Hello little Demetria." He mocked, squeezing my cheeks, pretending to make me talk. I laughed and tried to protest, but he kept going. "You are a beautiful person, Demetria. Why you so bad to yourself, huh? Why you so bad?"
I stopped laughing. What was he trying to do? And suddenly, it came back to me. He had helped me off the bathroom floor last night. I tried to talk to him, but I was too weak. He must have freaked out. I had cut, I had purged, I was a mess. He'd never seen me like that. Oh no.
I tried turning to face him, and he loosened his grip so I could roll over. We stared into each other's eyes for a while. I listened to his breath and felt his chest rise and fall against mine. This is what it feels like to be alive. Why don't you want to be alive?
I tore my eyes away from his and focused on his bare chest. "I'm not bad to myself." I whispered, reaching out to play with his few chest hairs.
He took my head in his hands and tilted it up, so that our eyes met again. "We're gonna fix you, babe. We'll do it. Together." I smiled at him, and I tried, I really did. I tried to imagine me being different. I tried to imagine looking in the mirror and seeing a beautiful face, a beautiful body, a beautiful girl. It just wasn't happening. I didn't see how that could happen.
"Let's get out of bed." He declared, throwing off the covers, skillfully moving his body over mine and landing on the floor. "We've got lots to do today, babe." We always had "lots to do". He just didn't want me in bed all day. But that's really all I wanted.
"I have work." I mumbled, still tangled in the sheets, refusing to show any part of my body to the light of day.
"I'll drive you then." He offered back.
He put his face up close to mine, a clever distraction, and ripped the covers off. I screamed and writhed in protest, struggling to get them back, but he had completely stripped them off the bed. "Joe! Stop it! I don't have to leave yet! Joe, give them back!" I sat up and jumped on his back, trying to grab them back from him. It wasn't until a few seconds into our play wrestling match that I realized I was completely naked. My heart dropped to my throat. What happened last night? There was no way he would take advantage of me when I was like that. Would he?
We both suddenly realized at the same time, and I slowly maneuvered myself back onto the bed. He gave in, sat down on the bed behind me, and wrapped the covers around me. We stayed like that for a while, his arms wrapped around my whole body, moving up and down, warming me, because I hadn't noticed, but I was shivering.
After a few minutes he whispered, "So you don't have to leave yet do you?"
I shook my head in response, drifting back into sleep with the hypnotizing circles his arms were making around my body.
"Dem, it's 10:00."
My eyes shot open, and my body projected me into a standing position. "It's what?!" I scrambled around, dropped down to my hands and knees, searching for my phone on the floor. I must have a million missed calls. For all I know, I'm probably fired by now. "Where the fuck is my phone? Where is my phone?" I stopped in my tracks and realized he was perched on the bed, softly laughing. "You're seriously laughing at me right now? I could be fired at this very moment, Joe. Where's my phone?"
He continued to laugh and I continued to search, opening every drawer, looking through every bag I had. After around just two minutes of frantically searching, I had had enough.
"Is this a joke?" I was standing in front of him with my hands on my hips, glaring into his creased eyes. He was still smiling at me. Even though I had put on a t-shirt to cover my bare-nakedness, I was still pretty bare-naked. He wasn't really amused anymore. He was turned on. Oh my god. He was completely turned on. He looked like he had x-ray vision or something, taking in every bit of my body with his hungry, hungry eyes. I blushed under his scrutinizing stare.
"What are you doing?" And he refused to answer, still looking at me like that.
"This is starting to creep me out. Joe, what's going on? I need to get to set before I get fired!"
"You look so hot right now." A smile played on his lips and I realized he was not listening to a word I was saying.
I moved closer to him, and his eyes got wider. I put my face as close as I could to his. "Joe! Do you hear me? I am going to get fired!"
He grabbed me around the waist and in one swift motion, pinned my down on the bed beneath him. I wiggled and squirmed under his ridiculously strong frame, screaming, and yelling, but he was secured on top of me.
His face was hovering over mine, with his mouth hanging open. My lips were parted slightly, because my heavy breath couldn't keep them closed. It took me a few seconds to catch my breath, as we breathed into each other's mouths, his lips directly above mine, but never touching.
"I'm officially fired." I breathed into his mouth.
"Except that today's Saturday." He breathed back, the biggest smile on his face that I've ever seen. I was honestly ready to slap him. I was ready to roll out from underneath him and deprive him of sex until I got him back for this horrible prank. But I couldn't. That face was so- so- I don't even know the word. Delicious. His face was delicious, as was every other part of his body, and I wanted to eat and snack and munch on it until I was bursting with it. I wanted to be fat with him. I didn't need food when I had him.
"I'm gonna kill you." I said. But it already came out as a moan, as he was reaching down and slowly pulling my t-shirt over my head. His eyes locked with mine and he gave me a reassuring smile.
"We'll save that for later…"

Asian stock markets were mixed Monday, with reassuring data from the U.S. helping Singapore touch its highest level since before the financial crisis, while Panasonic Corp. 6752.TO -3.66% Panasonic Corp.

More quote details and news » soared after returning to a profit in the third quarter.
Singapore's FTSE Straits Times Index was last up 0.3% at 3300.97, lower than the 3319.19 it reached earlier in the session—the index's highest level since January 2008.
Singapore "has always been seen as a safe-haven. So even though the economy barely grew last year, it still managed to perform well," said Lorraine Tan, vice president, Asia research at S&P Capital IQ in Singapore, who currently has an underweight rating on the market as she said it could lose out as investors move into more cyclical markets.
Stocks across the region started the session by tracking Friday's gains on Wall Street, where reassuring numbers pushed stocks up to new multi-year highs. The effect of the positive economic data wore off some on some markets, with Australia and Hong Kong ending the day slightly lower.
On the employment front, January employment numbers came out slightly lower than expected; however, this was offset by upward revisions to figures for November and December. In addition, the Institute for Supply Management's January manufacturing data was better than expected.
"The economic momentum in the U.S. is quite good," said Khiem Do, head of Asian multi-asset at Baring Asset Management in Hong Kong. "The U.S. is basking in good news at the moment because the debt negotiations have kicked the can down the road."
In Asia, markets are anticipating a number of economic events. The Reserve Bank of Australia will complete its first policy meeting of 2013 on Thursday, though only two economists out of the 16 polled by The Wall Street Journal expect the central bank to cut rates, as signs of improvement in the global economy reduces to the need to reduce the cost of lending.
Later in the week China will start to release economic data for January, with numbers on inflation and trade balance scheduled to come out on Friday just before the Chinese New Year public holiday gets under way.
The yen strengthened against the U.S. dollar in the morning trade, though by late in the Asian day it had softened so that it was steady on the day—the dollar was last at ¥92.81.
Japanese stocks were supported throughout the session by the 1.2% gain that the dollar made against the yen on Friday, with the weaker currency supporting a 0.6% rise in the Nikkei Stock Average. The market ended at 11260.35, its highest level in almost 34 months.
Earnings reports continued to influence shares in Tokyo, after two of Japan's most high-profile electronics companies reported third-quarter earnings.
Panasonic Corp. soared 16.9% after swinging back to profits, due to aggressive cost cutting measures and a weaker yen. The company's ¥61.4 billion net profit in the October to December period reversed the ¥197.6 billion loss in the same period last year, beating analyst expectations.

My Wedding Story
It was (literally) love at first sight. I'm the kind of person who likes of what is different. Nothing can be the same. I'm romantic, simple, delicate and I wanted a dress that would describe myself. So, I found "Mrs. Karena Royale". So me, so perfect, so elegant, everything I was looking for. It was a P.E.R.F.E.C.T day. I'm truly grateful.

Olympians Turn to Tinder for Olympic Village Trysts
It's all snow and ice at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, but that doesn't mean things aren't getting steamy. American Jamie Anderson, who took home the gold medal in this year's slopestyle snowboarding event, told Us Weekly that the dating app Tinder "is next level" for athletes in the Olympic Village. In other words, the app is extra popular right now in Sochi.

(Rebloggable by request.)
A. That's nice of Shira to say, but why would we do that?
Let's say that you're a nerdfighter and you're living in poverty. (Lots of nerdfighters are.) Why would I exclude you from the community just because you don't have access to the same resources as someone who is wealthy? That would go against the inclusionism that's the core of nerdfighteria.
(I'm not just saying this in a feel-good, altruistic way: It would also be a terrible business decision, because at some point in the future you will probably not be poor, and you will be able to support our work by contributing directly or buying a poster or a book or an album or whatever. But you will never know that you like the stuff I make if you were denied the opportunity to watch it in the first place.)
What makes a lot more sense to me is going to the community and saying: Hey, some of you can pay for this and some of you can't. That's cool. If you can pay for it, please do, and in exchange we'll be able to turn off ads for everyone, which is nice, because ads are gross and annoying and I hate them. If you can't pay, that's okay, too.
YouTube's apparent forthcoming paid subscription model isn't built like that at all: It's built to be exclusive and paywalled, which I don't think works for creators who want to build the awesomest possible audience.

Securely Erasing an iPhone
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: In your article last week on resetting and erasing an old iPhone before selling it, I was concerned when you mentioned that the erasing process "should only take a few seconds." Does this actually securely erase my data? It seems too quick, and I thought that a secure erase required the iPhone to write over every bit of the memory—in fact I thought Apple changed this years ago in response to somebody discovering that they could get information even off a "wiped" iPhone. I know when I used a tool to "securely wipe" my computer hard drive before I sold it, it took a lot longer than "a few seconds" to do so. I'm very concerned about the confidentiality of my data—is there another method I should be using to wipe my iPhone before I sell it?
- John
A: The Erase All Content and Settings option built into the iPhone is definitely a secure erase method, so there's nothing you need to worry about.
You are correct that the original iPhone did not securely erase user data at all, prompting Apple to change this behaviour in iOS 2.0 to actually do a bit-by-bit wipe of the flash memory—a process that took anywhere from 1-3 hours, depending on the capacity of your device.
However, with the iPhone 3GS and iOS 3.0, Apple introduced hardware-level encryption expressly for the purpose of facilitating a fast, secure wipe process. This was likely inspired by the advent of the "Remote Wipe" feature introduced with Find My iPhone at the same time; it only made sense that if you lost your device, you wanted to be able to ensure that it was securely wiped quickly to prevent the process from being interrupted once it began.
The standard hardware encryption doesn't specifically protect your data during normal use, since it uses a generated device-specific encryption key rather than anything tied to your device passcode (see iOS Encryption and Data Protection). However, since everything stored in your device's flash memory is encrypted with this key, all that the Erase All Content and Settings option needs to do is securely wipe the encryption key—a process which takes mere seconds—and everything else in your device's memory is left as an unintelligible glob of encrypted data, even to somebody who decides to take the memory chips out of the device and forensically examine them.
This hardware encryption has been included in every iOS device released since 2009; even with the latest version of iOS, however, pre-2009 devices such as the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and first- and second-generation iPod touch still use the old, slower bit-by-bit secure erase method.

Even though you erase everything from your iphone using the reset all content and settings process. Hyster gravity mobile says they can jailbreak your phone and use their software to get old information like text and call logs is this true.
Posted by shane on June 20, 2013 at 10:18 AM (CDT)
@Shane (#1): While this was much easier to do with pre-2009 iPhone models, it is virtually impossible with any relatively modern iOS device.
As explained in the article above, Apple introduced hardware encryption into the iPhone with the 3GS and iOS 3.0. This means that the data that is stored on your iPhone is encrypted in the flash memory. A device key is stored on the iPhone that is used to access this encrypted data. The "Reset All Content and Settings" simply wipes that encryption key, leaving the data unreadable through normal means. Anybody trying to recover data through normal data recovery tools would get chunks of gibberish.
Note that there are tools available for law enforcement agencies and forensic examiners that could be used to get around the iOS Data Protection encryption on an iPhone that has not been erased, but these work by accessing the existing encryption keys, not breaking the encryption itself. This is in fact how almost all cryptographic data recovery services work, since encryption keys are usually password-derived, and those passwords can be brute-forced. Keep in mind, however, that there have been recent reports that even law enforcement and other three-letter-agencies are bumping up against the cryptography employed in the iPhone even for those devices that haven't been erased, and therefore still has the encryption keys stored and secured on the device.
However, once an iPhone is erased by the "Erase all Content and Settings" process, the encryption key permanently and securely gone – removed using a hardware-level feature called effacable storage designed expressly for the purpose of facilitating secure, low-level erasure of flash memory.

Of all corporate citizenship initiatives, Interbrand has found that green efforts are currently the most visible – and often times, the most inaccurately communicated. Indeed, organizations like Greenpeace have made it part of their mission to call out the many brands that present themselves to consumers as "green," but which are quite the opposite in practice. The reverse is true as well. Take Nokia, which has consistently ranked high in terms of green performance, and yet trails behind competitors in terms of customer's perception of its efforts.
It is because of this frequent misalignment between brand performance and perception that Interbrand (with performance research conducted by Deloitte) has decided to offer a thorough and accurate green ranking, which we will be launching on Interbrand's website on July 26, 9:00 a.m. EST. Our goal is to create a score that effectively measures leading brands' green efforts and to ensure that those brands' excelling in this area receive credit for their initiatives.
We invite you to head to our website on July 26 to view our table, methodology, key findings, and insights. You may be surprised by what you see...
