A Deal is Done: Washington Raises the Debt Ceiling and Ends the Shutdown
As co-chair of Invesco's Investors' Forum*, I and Invesco's investment professionals have been continually monitoring the political situation in Washington D.C., and we were pleased to see last night's passage and presidential signature of a Senate-led bill that raised the debt ceiling and ended the government shutdown.
What the agreement does
The agreement, which was announced on Wednesday, is by no means a long-term fix to the underlying issues that divided Congress. It raises the debt ceiling through Feb. 7 and funds the federal government through Jan. 15, ending the 16-day government shutdown and sending hundreds of thousands of furloughed employees back to work. As with other debt ceiling deadlines, that Feb. 7 date will be an approximate date, as the agreement preserved the Treasury Department's flexibility to enact extraordinary measures that buy it additional time to keep paying the nation's bills.
The agreement also creates a conference committee to discuss broader budget issues, such as whether to renegotiate the deep budget cuts that were enacted earlier this year due to the sequester.
What the agreement does not do
Defunding the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare," was the focal point of many Republican lawmakers during the past few weeks, but the agreement comes nowhere near it. Rather, it provides additional measures to confirm the eligibility of people who receive subsidies to buy health insurance. Therefore, the enrollment process that began Oct. 1 will continue.
Additionally, a new tax on existing health insurance plans will go on as scheduled, despite the desire of Democrats to postpone it.
Looking ahead to Feb. 7
While the agreement came in time to avoid hitting the debt ceiling, we would have liked to have seen a deal completed earlier — and we'd like to eventually see a deal that brings longer-term certainty and confidence to the markets. Ongoing political stress has taken its toll on the markets, hitting investor confidence and causing market volatility. And despite the fact that the US could have paid its immediate bills — for a time — after today's deadline using cash on hand and incoming tax receipts, that's a precarious position for the country to be in. We hope that lawmakers will approach the Feb. 7 debt ceiling deadline with this experience in mind.
As far as the rating agencies are concerned, the agreement to end the shutdown and raise the US debt limit ends the very near-term potential for downgrade by Fitch Ratings. Nevertheless, in its press release announcing the action to put the US rating on Rating Watch Negative, Fitch commented, "In the event of a deal to raise the debt ceiling and to resolve the government shutdown, which Fitch expects, the outcome of a subsequent review of the ratings would take into account the manner and duration of the agreement and the perceived risk of a similar episode occurring in the future."
Clearly further negotiations will be required next year with yesterday's action to "kick the can down the road." Fitch will factor in such requirements as it conducts its review.

Author's Note: I literally cannot see. My glasses are downstairs and my upstairs computer is placed FAR AWAY so I'm sorry if there are some weird mistakes.
Roxy and Dirk entered Buff Bob's Beef Barn ©, and were promptly seated.
Of course, here, they were Roasty™ and Beef Dirky™. Dirk had thought up the aliases, which Roxy immediately found ridiculous.
"So ridiculous," he smirked, "That they'll never suspect a thing."
And he was probably right. The two were undercover food inspectors for Buff Bob's Beef Barn©'s Quality Control department, and spent the year traveling from one Barn™ to the next. They quite enjoyed the job, even after 4 years of eating from the same restaurant.
"So, what're you getting?" Beef Dirky™ inquired. He hadn't opened his menu, and probably wouldn't: after Year 1, he'd grown tired of beef, so he'd been ordering the only meatless dish—The Beefalicious Broccoli Bowl™—at every location for longer than he wanted to admit. He also knew where to find the best Beefalicious Broccoli™ in the United States, but that was a secret. In contrast, Roasty tried to get as much variety as she could.
"The Burnin' Beef Bologna™…maybe," she mused.
When they received their food, they sat in their usual comfortable silence. But Beef Dirky was certain this location hadn't read the recipe, and had included Beef™ in his Beefalicious Broccoli Bowl™. Unacceptable.
He pushed his Bowl™ away, "So, how is it?"
"hw is waht?"
"Excuse me?"
"lol waht r u tlkn abotu!?!?"
"Roasty™," he was confused, "What are you doing?"
"hahaha whta." And she drunkenly flung herself over the tabletop. "u no u r rilly hawt their r so mny gud thngs abtu u."
"Roasty™… I can literally hear typos," he stated. "Like… I can hear your lack of capitalization and spelling mistakes… but you're talking."
"l0l i dan no," she started to laugh.
"I didn't know this was possible."
Then Roasty™ pouted and mumbled, "i js dndt no how 2 tell u…"
"Tell me what?"
"bef maks me drnk idk y i thnk it is a diseez," her voice quivered with uncertainty, "thts y nvr tlk drng r aftr meels i am alcohlix bt w/ bef."
"But why can I hear your typos."

Why The Steelers Will Win Today. Or Not.
Sunday, January 23rd, 2011, 3:01 pm
If one looks at today's Jets-Steelers AFC title game it would appear that, karmically speaking, this one will go to the Jets. They are this year's Team of Destiny, the six-seed who went on the road and sent Peyton Manning and Tom Brady home early. They've recovered from a humiliating prime-time blowout to regain their swagger. They predicted on the HBO show Hard Knocks that they would win the Super Bowl and here they are, once again one win away from the big game. Add the fact that quarterback Mark Sanchez is in his second season and that Ben Roethlisberger and Brady both won Super Bowls in their second years and you have a compelling case for the Jets to win this game.
If, of course, you ignore reality and just go with the ethereal nonsense that rattles around in the brains of idiot sports fans like myself. I am usually a rational, pragmatic person. But when it comes to sports I am practically a voodoo shaman. I won't wash my jersey after a win, I (usually) don't drink during games, I ruthlessly analyze almost everything I do during a game to determine if the action will help or hinder my team. While watching my favorite sports teams I quite literally become temporarily insane.
As do millions of other fanatics. I'm cool with my fleeting mental illness, I've come to terms with it. I actually enjoy it, as it makes me feel that I actually have some control over the proceedings unfolding on the screen before me. But I'm not so far gone as to know, in my heart of hearts, that I don't. Last week I had a few beers after halftime when all looked bleak for the Steelers–they won. This week we won't be watching the game at Mark's house, as he's on vacation, so we're going to a friend's house where we watched the pens lose the Winter Classic. This seems like a classic karmic mistake…but what if their house is only bad luck for the Penguins? What if it's only bad luck for regular season games and is in fact holy ground when it comes to truly important contests?
What if, what if, what if. What I do know, in this calm before the storm, is that it doesn't matter if the Jets are a team of destiny, or if it's rare for a team to lose 2 conference title games in a row, or that they're due for a huge win while the Steelers have spoiled us the last 15 years. If you'll allow me a poker metaphor, just as the cards don't care who they're dealt to, the games are contested by the players on the field, not by the ghosts of days gone by. The game will be won by the team who plays the best today, and destiny and karma and predestination has nothing to do with it. Every game is it's own separate universe, and in a bit we'll all get to find out what happens.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to put on my Polamalu jersey (unwashed in months), get my Terrible Towel (the one I twirled during that legendary comeback playoff win against the Browns) and pick out a spot by the TV that seems to have the most in-tune vibrations coursing through it.

"I Lost 69 Pounds!"
Judith's Weight Loss Plan
Age: 33
Height: 5'10 1/2"
Weight: 185
Pounds lost: 69
Time at Current Weight: 24 months
The Diet: Breakfast is grapefruit juice and an apple. Lunch is fish and a green salad. For dinner, she has lentil soup or beans and rice and vegetables. Snacks are kashi (a whole-grain cereal) or a slice of protein bread topped with soy margarine and honey.
The Workout: Judith lifts weights and does aerobics at the gym three days a week and works out to a yoga or aerobic exercise video at home twice a week. Weekends, she goes hiking with her husband.
Stick-With-It Tip: "Recognize when you are eating out of habit, not hunger. Learn to tell the difference between feeling satisfied and feeling stuffed."
Biggest Temptation: Chocolate cake. "I let myself have it sometimes, especially when I'm a little depressed. You have to figure out which sacrifices you can live with—and which you can't."
What She Couldn't Wait to Wear: A tankini bathing suit. "I never thought it would fit. But I tried it on, and it looked fabulous."

text: Writer/director Mike Mills started working on the script for Beginners shortly after his own father passed away. As a way of wrestling with his father's death, Mike began to work through the myriad feelings and turbulence resulting from his mother previously passing away and his own father's subsequent coming out. In many ways the film became an autobiographical account of Mike's own thought process. In the interview Mike talks about having a Jack Russell Terrier similar to the one in the film, and how he, too, spoke to it, just like the character Oliver does in the film.

Chris Webber on Shaquille O'Neal joining the #SacKings ownership group:
The former Kings power forward joined Greg Anthony in a conference call this morning promoting NBA TV's season preview. He had this to say about his former nemesis and current Turner Sports colleague Shaquille O'Neal joining the new ownership group in Sacramento. "Yeah that's something," Webber said. "I've talked to the ownership group and Shaq is my boy. So as a friend, I'm happy he's an owner. As a King, it's disgusting."

The district is roughly bounded by Nuttman Avenue on the north, Bluffton Road on the east, Engle Road on the south, and a railroad right-of-way to the west. These man-made boundaries follow the general elevation lines of the topography and help to create the sense of entering a special place, separate and exclusive from any other in the vicinity. This sense is especially heightened during the summer months when the trees that overarch the streets and shrubbery surrounding the residences soften the visual images encountered throughout the community.

How are students educated in schools in YOUR country, where you came from?
Each country has a different education system. In most of the Eastern countries, students are only forced to go to great universities, in spite of their careers and what they want to do in the future. Since I am a student in South Korea, I am forced to only get good scores on exams and surrounded with full of excessive competitions among students. The whole society forces us to go to a famous college and just to gain reputations.
However, many people detect that the current education system is on the wrong track; and although a lot of people stood up in order to reform it, not many significant changes have happened. So I am willing to make an organization to change the current education system and lead the students into the right way of future. Before I actually put it into practice, I really want to hear from all of you about what your countries' real purpose of education is and how students are educated in schools. It would help me learn about education systems from all around the world, from diversity of countries. I would certainly appreciate your participation!
When I was researching for education around the world, I came to a conclusion that every nation's education is deeply connected with different cultures and historical backgrounds. So if you know anything about your country's history or cultures related to education, I would greatly appreciate it.
P.S Since I am a middle school student and have assignments to complete, it would take sone time for me to answer your comments. If you don't mind, I might write you back little later.

Sep 14 2013: Having grown up in NYC and attended a Performing Arts High School, I was lucky enough to have a unique curriculum. k-8 here in NYC I think is pretty standard in terms of general primary education and curriculum. I can say the classes are usually upward of 25 tipping 30 often. This was true in HS, but the dual curriculum in music created a kind duality that I can really appreciate now.
One of the main things I find lacking in my academic experience was the notion of discipline and actually feeling committed to my education. I tested well and always had an appetite for learning, but things are not set up to encourage this for most. There is more often a sense of obligation twinned with learning and not an opportunity to explore, learn, or grow. Instilling youths with the resources to explore the world as they see it and go after and seek knowledge to those ends is absent. Inculcating discipline as a foundation life skill that is used in any academic or professional lens coupled with entrusting a sense of agency to the student to be a main participant in his/her learning went amiss throughout high school. It's all just going through the motions.
Academic subjects are treated as isolated bodies of knowledge. Integration of curriculum was something luckily was very much encouraged at the U of R where I studied at college but is practically absent in high school down. Lack of integration disadvantages a student in that the mechanisms for learning are separate and fail to reinforce each other. Integration also leads to deeper engagement with the materials across fields. Some 50% of minorities are not making it out of high school in part because engagement is not a priority in education. The crunching of numbers that has taken a front seat leaves students without an accessible and pragmatic skill set that an education is to provide.
School should be a place for a learner to be empowered and encouraged to claim the skill set he/she is taking into his/her future.

Atlanta's own Indigo Girls have gone independent to release "Poseidon and the Bitter Bug." Just like their last release in 2006, the pair decided to hold a free 30-minute concert at Criminal Records, drawing several hundred fans.
This time, instead of doing it outside, they were able to perform at Criminal Records' new locale and stage. They sampled several cuts from the new album, out today, as well as finishing again with their signature song "Closer to Fine," a fine singalong song from 1989, 20 years ago. An attendee posted video on YouTube:
I took some video of Amy Ray singing "Sugar Tongue." I apologize in advance for a couple of shaky moments. My cel phone went off a couple of times. I kind of did this on the fly!
They then spent the next hour signing autographs. When I went up to say hey real quickly, I asked them about going indie, and Emily Saliers said they were really happy. I said they can now sell 100,000 albums and make more money than if they had sold 1 million under the old way. "Well, we'd love to sell that much!" Ray mused. "50!" "I think you got at least 50 out of this," I said.
Criminal Records itself was having a busy day. Local metal band Mastodon was going to hit the stage a couple hours later. Probably not a lot of overlap there in audience!

I believe the correct title of the cd is "Poseidon and the Bitter Bug"

Mastodon. Look it up before you write it.

I swear it's almost like an Apple hostile world takeover in effect lol!
Exciting and Scary at the same time
This is just asking for rooms to get broken into. When you go on trips like this isn't the point to get away from.. Electronics, etc
Ok so who is going to be the first to jailbreak one of these?
If it "oops falls in the pool," then they'll "oops charge your credit card"
oops I dropped mine of the edge into the water. Can I have a new one?
My feeling is that these will somehow be anchored to the room.
They could also easily save money by using a cheap android tablet alternative..

Navy details two rounds of budget cutbacks for 2013
Round one is already in effect and includes a civilian hiring freeze, cancellation of conferences, cutbacks on training, and a reduction in IT spending for the Navy. Round two would involve unpaid civilian furloughs, operational reductions for deployed ships, and cuts to tuition assistance for sailors.
Sequestration effects becoming clear for DoD
DoD's operations and maintenance accounts will likely be hit first if sequestration goes into effect. Unlike its procurement and research and development activities, which can continue to function on funds obligated in prior years, O&M dollars generally get spent right away. In preparation for sequestration, the Pentagon has already let go of tens of thousands of temporary hires and is drawing up a contingency plan for one-day-a-week furloughs. Deputy Secretary Ashton Carter says the unpaid furloughs would begin in April and continue through the remainder of the fiscal year if sequestration is not avoided.
DFAS halts hiring ahead of possible sequestration
The Defense Finance and Accounting Service will implement significant cost-cutting measures next week to prepare for the possibility of automatic spending cuts due to hit government in March. DFAS plans to freeze most hiring, reduce travel and overtime, and temporarily halt new employee performance awards, according to DFAS Director Terri McKay.
Army freezes civilian hiring, cuts base spending ahead of potential sequestration
The Army has put an immediate freeze on civilian hiring and will begin terminating some temporary employees to reduce spending ahead of potential across-the-board budget cuts later this year. Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno and Army Secretary John McHugh also directed Army commanders and supervisors to reduce base-operations support spending.
Navy living out its 'heyday,' but rough seas ahead
Robert Work, the undersecretary of the Navy, says forget about the Reagan-era aspirations of a 600-ship fleet. Even with a smaller Navy, things are better than ever, he says, even if they're about to get worse due to smaller budgets and the threat of sequestration. "Yes, things might get worse. In fact, they probably will get worse. But this is the heyday of the U.S. Navy. And, if you're not excited, you ain't breathing," he said at the Surface Navy Association's annual symposium this week.
Pentagon issues dire warning to Congress about budget cuts
The nation's top military leaders warned Congress in unusually stark terms that its failure to pass a 2013 defense budget - coupled with the threat of automatic budget cuts - has pushed the Pentagon to the brink of a crisis.
Begin saving cash now, Air Force tells commanders
The Air Force orders commanders to start cutbacks in advance of the next budget emergency.
Air Force's sequestration hit would mean less of everything
Air Force commanders will get orders in the next few days to plan for the possibility of fewer flying hours, providing fewer office supplies and working on fewer IT upgrades. Part of the service's planning will be to figure out how many civilian workers would need to be furloughed and for how long.
Pentagon orders planning for civilian furloughs, other cutbacks
Defense Deputy Secretary Ashton Carter told DoD components Thursday to draw up plans for full-year continuing resolution, plus sequestration. The approach to deal with across-the-board cuts would be to freeze civilian hiring, cut training, travel and conferences and reduce business technology expenditures.
Pentagon moving to freeze hiring, delay contracts
The Pentagon will begin taking steps to freeze civilian hiring, delay some contract awards and curtail some maintenance to prepare for drastic budget cuts if Congress can't reach an agreement on a final spending plan, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday.
Sequestration 2.0 would mean furloughs for DoD's entire civilian workforce
New version of sequestration would reduce overall tab to DoD but compress across-the-board cuts into just seven months. A leading-think tank's "back of the envelope" calculations show the military would have to furlough almost every civilian.
Congress revises DoD's sequestration starting point
When lawmakers and the White House kicked sequestration two months down the road, they also made changes to how the cuts would be calculated. The Pentagon estimates the impact on the Defense budget would be gentler than before.
Pentagon Solutions: How DoD should plan strategy amid downsized budget
Dr. Andrew Krepinevich, president of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, joined Pentagon Solutions for an in-depth discussion of how the Defense Department can manage budget cuts without harming its strategic goals.
Sequestration worse than thought, Pentagon frets
As planning begins for sequestration, the military may have to cut billions more than previously imagined. DoD, like all agencies, is waiting for instruction from the OMB on how to reduce their budget.
Fiscal Cliff and FERC Order 1000, Monopoly Killer?
On this week's Capital Impact show, analysts discuss the fiscal cliff and its impact, and how a new court ruling will affect traditional utilites and power companies.
December 6, 2012
DoD begins planning for sequestration cuts
The Defense Department says it has begun planning for the roughly $500 billion in personnel and program cuts that will be needed if Congress and the White House fail to reach an deal that would avoid the double hit of tax hikes and automatic spending cuts dubbed the fiscal cliff.
Players in budget war game plot $500B in Defense cuts
This past summer, defense experts gathered into teams to map out how to cut DoD's budget by a half trillion dollars over 10 years. The results from the game provide some guidance on ways to make the cut happen in real life based on strategic choices, the organizers say.
Defense experts debate sequestration's impact
There's a little more than a month to go until sequestration kicks in, taking more than a $1 trillion from agency budgets over 10 years unless Congress finds a way to agree on a Plan B for deficit reduction. In this week's edition of On DoD, Jared Serbu, Federal News Radio's DoD reporter, talks with several defense experts about sequestration and the Defense budget in a second term under President Obama:
Warner hopeful feds won't feel a budget 'jolt'
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) told The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp that a large number of lawmakers from both parties support a plan that raises more revenues and recognizes that entitlement programs have got to be made viable over the long term.
Next few weeks critical to defining DoD in second Obama term
"Fog bank" of threatened automatic spending cuts makes predicting Defense policy under a re-elected President Obama difficult. But experts agree DoD is likely to take more cuts, with or without sequestration.

The bluesman Curtis Salgado, the inspiration for John Belushi's "Joliet Jake" Blues, performed at the Utah Arts Festival on June 22.
Less than a month later, he had surgery to remove a cancerous mass from his lung. The same type of cancerous mass had been removed from his lung in 2008.
"I'm doing fine," said Salgado, who underwent a liver transplant in 2006 after being diagnosed with liver cancer the previous year.
The 59-year-old singer and harmonica player said in a phone interview he is fortunate to have avoided chemotherapy, since each time a cancerous growth was found, it was removed through surgery. He darkly joked that one day he might end up as just "an ear and one arm."
Salgado, winner of the 2012 Blues Music Award for Soul/Blues Artist of the Year, released his latest CD, "Soul Shot," on Alligator Records last year.
It's a rich sampling of soul music that Salgado enjoyed while he grew up in a musical family. Even though it is technically a soul record, his signature sound is still there.
"You find the blues in all music," he said.

"I ordered my daughters birthday invitations from here for the 2nd year & just like the 1st time, they are so unique & beautiful!! Not only that, but they arrived almost a week ahead of the given delivery date!!! How amazing! This is definitely where I will always order from in the future. :)"
"I am in love with these invites! Ordered them for my daughter's 1st birthday and I've been getting so many compliments on them!"
"I had a hard time finding a birthday invite that would suit my boy/girl twins until I saw this one! It's simple, cute, and allows you to change the script to work for 2 babies rather than one. I'm so pleased!!"
"This invite was perfect for my one year old daughters birthday! It was very easy to customize and the options that were made available to enhance the photo I used simply made the invite!!! The quality of the cardstock was great! My final product was sophisticated, unique and made with great quality!!"
"The turn around on this beautiful card was unbelievably quick, even with my grammatical issue their proof readers caught (thanks for that especially!). Beautiful quality. Everyone loves them. Thank you!"

Brandeis Bulletin
More information about courses and requirements is available in the Bulletin
Peace, Conflict, and Coexistence Studies
About the Minor
Students can construct an individually tailored PAX minor in consultation with the PAX program advisers.
Requirements for the Minor
Students are to take six required courses, configured this way:
A. Two core requirements (comprehensive course or project).
1. SOC 119a (War and Possibilities of Peace).
2. Either PAX 89a or 92a (Internship in Peace, Conflict, and Coexistence Studies) or a senior honors thesis.
The internship consists of at least 10 hours a week in a social-change organization in the greater Boston area, elsewhere in the United States, or if the student is abroad, an appropriate equivalent. The intern is supervised by a PAX professor or staff person; keeps a daily journal; presents and does the reading of a bibliography on the topic of the internship and its larger framework; and writes a paper of 15 to 20 pages at the end of the internship.
The student is expected to meet weekly or biweekly with the supervisor and to e-mail weekly or biweekly if doing the work away from Brandeis. Internships are organized around, but not limited to, those we find through the Hiatt Career Center.
Internships in the sociology department (SOC 92a and SOC 89a) with a PAX focus will be evaluated for credit toward the PAX minor on a case-by-case basis.
The senior thesis is undertaken in the student's major, on a topic central to peace, conflict and coexistence studies. With the department's permission, a member of the PAX faculty committee will serve on and represent the PAX program on the thesis committee.
B. Two or more core electives: at least two courses (and up to four) from this list. Core electives must be taken in at least two different departments.
Core electives include courses that offer critical analyses of violence and nonviolence and that consider information, ideas and examples of productive ways of resisting violence and working toward peace and justice (what in the peace studies field is called "positive peace," as distinct from "negative peace," which is the absence of war but not of conditions that appear to lead to war).
These courses offer perspectives on major institutions and possible alternatives, explore some strategies for change, and encourage students to envision and work toward a world based more on positive peace than on negative peace or war.
C. Maximum of two related electives: No more than two courses from this list can count to meet requirements for the minor, and they must be taken in different departments.
These courses relate directly or indirectly to international, domestic, organizational, intergroup, interpersonal or personal conflict and also include consideration of perspectives that promote understanding, reconciliation and transformation. They need not focus on violence and nonviolence, positive peace, or encouraging students to envision positive peace.

Another Teeny Tiny House: The Don Vardo
Here's yet another teeny, tiny house that you could own for $22,000. Like the houses built by the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, the Don Vardo, built by Portland Alternative Dwellings, is super small (7x10 feet). And it's super green.
The Don Vardo has a desk, a kitchen nook, a double bed, and radiant heated floors. And it's made from all sorts of green materials: reclaimed wood, paperstone, etc.
Noticeably missing? A bathroom and a shower.
Unfortunately, we think that pretty much disqualifies it for full-time living. In fact, Portland Alternative Dwellings markets the tiny home as the perfect "writing/guest studio" on its website. As a guest studio, we think it would be a sweet, cozy little place to stay. However, better park it close to the main house in case any guests need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

As much as I would like to live in a smaller place, I think these places are ridiculously unrealistic. I'll stick with my 655 sq foot apartment thanks!
Well, I have a tiny house. I really do.
But this looks liek a toy house.
Very expensive!

That won't work since Vector3 and Quaternion are value types, not reference types and additionally Transform.position and .rotation are properties.
Change your methods to
That will work because Transform is a class and therefore a reference type.
In the case that you want to save an arbitrary Vector3 and Quaternion you have to use the
When using out the variables don't have to be initialized when passing to the function but you can't read them inside your function until you assigned them.
When using ref the variables have to be initialized and can be read inside the function. They just act as a reference type.

What is the 4AT?
The 4 'A's Test or 4AT is a screening instrument for delirium and cognitive impairment.
The 4AT is free to download and use.
The 4AT is designed to be used by any health professional at first contact with the patient, and at other times when delirium is suspected. It incorporates the Months Backwards test and the Abbreviated Mental Test - 4 (AMT4), which are validated short tests for cognitive impairment. The primary aim of the 4AT is to assist in increasing detection rates of delirium in acute general hospital settings, though it can be used with patients with possible delirium in other settings. Its main features are:
The 4AT underwent several waves of piloting before reaching the form it is in now. The performance of the 4AT has been examined in two published studies (see References), and is also being tested in a multicentre study. In parallel with the formal studies, the 4AT is also being evaluated in practice in several clinical units globally. The 4AT was first published in September 2011 (version 1.0: see Archive), and an updated version (1.1) was published on this website on 1st May 2014.
Notes on version 1.1: The updated version of the 4AT is unchanged with respect to the testing items and scoring. The updates involve the interpretation of a score of zero on the 4AT, and the guidance notes. Regarding a score of zero, version 1.0 stated: 'delirium or cognitive impairment [is] unlikely'.Version 1.1 states that a score of zero suggests that 'delirium or severe cognitive impairment [is] unlikely'. This change was made because some people who show no errors on both Months Backwards (to 7 months) and the AMT4 may show some cognitive impairment when tested using more detailed and longer assessments. This issue also applies to other brief cognitive screening tests, eg. the 10-item Abbreviated Mental Test and the Mini-Mental State Examination. Note that the change to the interpretation of a score of zero in version 1.1 applies only to the detection cognitive impairment, not to delirium.
Authors: The 4AT was designed by Prof Alasdair MacLullich, Dr Tracy Ryan and Dr Helen Cash of the University of Edinburgh and NHS Lothian, Edinburgh, Scotland. We thank the following colleagues for generously contributing their time and expertise during the initial development and testing of the 4AT: Dr Atul Anand, Dr Daniel Davis, Dr Fergus Doubal, Dr Duncan Forsyth, Dr Kyle Gibson, Dr Aditya Hosakere, Prof Bree Johnston, Mr Colin MacDonald, Dr Katie Marwick, Dr Johanna Paddison, Prof Emma Reynish, Dr Jeyakumar Selwyn, and Dr Susan Shenkin.
The authors welcome any comments, suggestions or criticisms. Contact: Prof Alasdair MacLullich (email@example.com; @A_MacLullich).
Are you using the 4AT? Would you be willing to undergo a brief web survey to help in the development of the 4AT? If so, please email
Disclaimer: responsibility for the interpretation of scores and any actions rests with the clinical team using the 4AT.

You can chug Gatorade G3, scarf down PowerBars or choose any of a number of specialized recovery products following your AJC Peachtree Road Race training runs and the race itself.
Or you can drink chocolate milk.
That's what I do.
What's not to like about it? One of the greatest non-alcoholic drinks in the world – up there with Milo's sweet tea, Coke and quality root beer – provides health benefits that are perfect post run. Sign me up.
Side note: This will be my last blog about drinks for a while as I know Yvonne wrote about water a few weeks ago.
I read about chocolate milk as a post-run drink a while ago, and thought it sounded interesting. The article mentioned that chocolate milk had a good blend of proteins, carbohydrates, sodium and calories to help the body post-run. Every now and then, I would think back to the article, and that I should buy some chocolate milk to drink after my runs. Now I do in those little school lunch cartons.
When I was looking for blog ideas last year, I came across the first academic study that claimed chocolate milk aided in muscle recovery. Nine cyclists showed better endurance (time to exhaustion and total work) following exercise when drinking chocolate milk versus recovery-specific drinks. This year, I found a second academic study with similar findings. Thirteen soccer players were tested, and chocolate milk performed similarly to a high-carbohydrate recovery drink in terms of muscle recovery responses.
These articles reporting on the studies offer some general details about the protein-carbohydrate ratio and the benefits of cocoa – NPR WebMD/CBS. Read up, then drink up.
Maybe you have noticed that races have caught on. The Atlanta Marathon and Georgia Half-Marathon both have given bottles of chocolate milk away at the end, and I am sure other races do to. It's a very good way to end a run and good for you to…
However, I must say after running 13 miles, I am partial to a cold Coke (note to race organizers, please have cold Cokes after your long race). And I have plenty of experience with post-race drinks. I've had the basics – water, Gatorade and Powerade. I've had beer (or multiple beers, thanks to the Atlanta Beltline). I've tried those protein recovery drinks and homemade smoothies with protein powder. I am sure I've followed cold runs with coffee or hot chocolate. I just wrote a blog about how much I enjoy chocolate milk and how it's good for you, too. It's what I usually drink. Still, when you're exhausted after a half-marathon, nothing beats a cold Coke, even in the Thanksgiving cold.
Let us know what you drink after a run. I have my favorites, but am open to suggestions.

Just donated $10 to Haiti via phone.
The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories. As the day went on, the teacher noticed Timmy sitting quietly in the back of the class.
"Timmy, do you have a story?"
"Yes, ma'am, my daddy told me this story about my Uncle Bob. Uncle Bob was a pilot in Vietnam and his plane got hit. He had to bail out over enemy territory and all he had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a machete. He drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break and then he landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. He killed seventy of them with the machine gun until he ran out of bullets, then he killed twenty more with the machete till the blade broke and then he killed the last ten with his bare hands."
"Good heavens, what kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?"
"Don't F—K with Uncle Bob when he's been drinking."

Who are your River Phoenix "successors/heirs/whatever"?
Last days I've been talking to Bree about this.
We all (riophiles) really know there will never be another "River Phoenix", but it's something I like to talk about (I always LOVE talking about River, you know me, I can talk for hours), about "mines" or others' ones (press, other riophiles, non-riophile people). And I would like to know yours (if you "have" them) and the reasons why (not only appearence but that too).
Don't be afraid to confess, I've even read "Robert Pattinson" in some sites and I still alive so… I'm very curious :)

Feb 3, 2014 MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The start of the winter Olympics in Sochi is just days away.
The opening ceremony is set for Thursday, and about 19 Minnesotans will be part of Team USA.
One of those athletes grew up in Afton. At 22, Jessie Diggins is now the youngest member of the U.S. cross country women's team.
Jessie Diggins on MPR January 28, 2014. She mentions how her love of skiing started with MYSL!
Here is the transcript:
Kids can track their kilometers throughout the season to earn kilometer award pins. This is an incentive to get out and ski during our brief winter! Clubs set their own standards for awards (gold, silver and bronze). A sample from the Hyland Club is 100k gold, 50k silver and 25k bronze.

FLOWERY BRANCH–Phase one of coach Mike Smith's plan to keep the Falcons rolling into the playoffs backfired badly.
The Falcons still can get the next part right.
The idea was that the Falcons would go all out to win against the Buccaneers on Sunday even though they already had the NFC's No. 1 seed wrapped up. So the Falcons played their starters from start to finish and still suffered a 22-17 loss to NFC also-ran Tampa Bay in the Georgia Dome.
Instead of being buoyed by victory, the Falcons were cut down by a bad loss. Rather than maintain momentum, the Falcons saw it halted—and they couldn't shrug it off to sending out their backups.
The Falcons won't be able to do anything about it until opening the playoffs on Sunday, Jan. 13 against either Minnesota, Seattle or Washington at 1 p.m. at the Georgia Dome. But Smith has a plan to keep his players and coaches sharp until then.
The Falcons had a bye week in the 2010 playoffs before the Packers pounded

Return to story
Fredericksburg is the latest area locality to launch a system for sending alerts about everything from severe weather to school closings directly to residents' e-mail or mobile devices.
Area residents can now go to fredericksburgalert.com to sign up for a wide variety of messages to be sent to e-mail accounts, cell phones with texting capability and pagers, from various departments in City Hall.
The service is free, and is paid for with a $40,000 grant of federal Homeland Security funds distributed through the Virginia Department of Emergency Management.
The city used that money to purchase the alert system from a company called Cooper Industries.
Stafford, King George and Caroline counties and the University of Mary Washington already offer these services through the same provider.
Spotsylvania County is preparing to launch a similar service. Fire and Rescue Chief Chris Eudailey said the Board of Supervisors could vote to award a contract for the services in the next two months, and the county would begin working on implementation after that.
While many localities use the system mostly for severe weather and emergency alerts, Fredericksburg officials are hoping to broaden its scope to allow city residents to choose alert feeds for a wide array of city services.
Battalion Chief Charles Sterne, who has managed the project from the city fire department, said the capabilities will grow as more users sign up for the alerts, and as city departments discover new ways that they can be used to disperse information.
He and Fire Chief Eddie Allen suggested that people who sign up today should check back on a monthly basis to see if new feeds that interest them are available.
At this point, residents can choose from a vast menu of alert feeds.
FREDericksburg Regional Transit offers information on schedule and route changes.
Parks and Recreation offers feeds on registration, pool and parks information and sports and event cancellations.
The city schools offer feeds with school-specific news, as well as a general school closings feed.
The public works department has established feeds relating to fire hydrant flushing, construction projects, snow removal and other services.
By collaborating with established alert systems in Northern Virginia, the city is also able to offer alerts on traffic conditions in Fairfax and Arlington counties for commuters.
The city can distribute major emergency alerts to anyone who is signed up for the system, no matter what feeds they have checked, Sterne said.
And if users opt to give their physical address as part of registration, city officials can send geographically targeted messages about emergencies in their immediate area.
There is a separate feed for river flooding warnings, and there are several choices for weather alerts. Residents can ask for only severe weather alerts, such as thunderstorm or tornado watches and warnings, or they can ask for broader weather alerts, which include heat and flooding advisories.
All weather information comes from the National Weather Service, not the city. That's why, when a brief but severe storm hit the city on Friday, no weather alert went out over the system, because the NWS never saw it coming.
Sterne said about 300 users have signed up for the system so far. That includes city employees, who will use internal feeds to communicate with each other. For the fire department, this replaces a less-efficient pager alert system.
The alert system can be set up to send text-based messages to an e-mail account, cell phone or other mobile device, but it does not send audio messages.
The city's reverse-911 system still operates with that capability, but it's not as fast; reverse 911 can make only 24 calls at a time.
Emily Battle: 540/374-5413
Email: email@example.com
Area residents can now sign up for the following electronic alert services:Fredericksburg: fredericksburgalert.com Stafford County: staffordalert.com King George County: kgalert.com Caroline County: carolinealert.com University of Mary Washington: alert.umw.edu
Users should be aware of what charges they will incur for incoming text messages before signing up a cell phone.

The biggest skill that I apply is dealing with a large variety of different people. It is important to understand those with different background and effectively getting a team moving in one direction. In my case now, I'm working with associates but it is about helping everyone understand your goals. Also, another similarity is long hours but learning how to keep going even when things get tiring.
My transition experience has been good. People challenge you every day and you have to understand your role and why you are doing it. "Why?" is the most common question asked in a Fulfillment Center every day. The company pushes you to always improve processes and understand the system. You need to operate at the speed of the internet.
My best moments have been when things have gone wrong at Amazon. As frustrating as it can get, there are always stories to take away from the times when you had to fix something that wasn't going the way it was supposed it. When things don't go right, we're part of it and we get to look back and laugh about it later.
Amazon is very military friendly. They understand you and they value the military experience and leadership that you bring. They understand the situations you have been in. You are constantly pushed to make processes better. They push and stretch you a little bit more than the day before. I enjoy that and military veterans are going to look for that environment. There is exponential growth every year for the company and there are lots of opportunities. There are a lot of people getting out of service and they are looking for opportunities to advance - Amazon is the company for that.
