The End of (Economic) History
AbstractSome papers, for reasons which remain at least partially obscure, leave a persistent trace in intellectual history. Such is the case with Keynesâ paper âEconomic Possibilities for our Grandchildrenâ, although it never attracted much attention within the economic profession, besides reference here and there to the power of simple economic calculations: A possible explanation is that Keynes, in freeing himself from economic rigor, is attempting to unveil his moral philosophy. Because a great economist is not necessarily a great philosopher we should not ab initio expect the result to be at the level we are accustomed to in reading Keynes. What matters is not so much the way Keynes answers the questions he poses but the nature of the questions themselves. Could the very functioning of the capitalist system lead to the solution of the economic problem and hence to the end of capitalism itself? This paper sustains that the answers given by Keynes to these questions are grounded on three elements: arithmetic, the neurosis of capitalism and the communism of the elites. On the first element, Keynes is right; one may even argue that his reasoning anticipates Solowâs growth model. The second element is rooted in the context in which Keynes was writing and grounded on a false interpretation of Freudâs work which led him to a simplistic analysis of human needs. The third element unveils his aristocratic view of society. What is remarkable in âthe economic possibilitiesâ is the powerful intuition of Keynes and even more remarkable the nature of the questions he poses. Each and every economist should try to answer the question of the ends of the economic system and of its possible end. What is deceptive is the naivety with which Keynes deals with human needs and even more deceptive his arrogance and the questionable moral which goes with it.

Is that elitism in the air? :)
Is that elitism in the air? :)
There's many new players that want to get to Wrath, they don't want to spend 6 months playing "old" content. That's what this program is for. And more than that, if you can start a DK at 55, what makes you think you can't level a rogue to 55 and start one there? The game implications are the same.

Undated_ It's called Oklahoma's Promise, and
it's helped thousands of students go to college. However, the number of kids
who qualify for that promise could shrink significantly.
Monday, after a
heated debate, the House approved a bill that would lower the income cap for
families who qualify. It pays for tuition at a 2-year or 4-year public college
or university in Oklahoma.
Right now, a
student's total family income must be at or below $50,000 when they apply,
which can be as early as 8th grade. By
the time they enter college, the family income cannot be higher than $100,000. This
new bill would reduce that college entry-level income cap to $60,000
It would take
effect in the Fall of 2014. However, this change wouldn't affect to anyone
already attending college and in the program; it would only affect incoming
college freshmen for that year and the years after.

He said he was

A lot of people
are saying this legislation goes directly against Governor Fallin's goal for
our state to produce more college grads. The author said that's actually all
wrong; her bill goes hand in hand with that goal.
She said there
are a limited number of applicants to the program, and her bill would ensure
availability for low income students. In a statement, she writes lawmakers
arguing against her are "actually arguing to take scholarships from low
income families and give it to families who can afford to send their children
to college."
Opponents say
those in favor simply want to save some of the $60M it takes to run the
program, so they can move forward with $120M tax cuts.
Either way,
Cassidy Morgan is thankful for the program for paying his tuition.
"I didn't
have to worry about that," Morgan said. "So, I could worry more on what I
wanted to do with my life."
Legislation was passed in 2007 to increase the income cap to $100,000, in
order to protect families that experience life changes in the years between
enrollment and going to college. Early numbers predict there would be about 500
kids per year that would qualify now, but not if this is signed into law.
All of our local house members voted in favor of the bill, except Joe
Dorman of Rush Springs. He said the legislation sends
the message that lawmakers aren't willing to invest in middle-class students
who want to go to college.

More From The Magazine
You just launched Made Market. Tell us about it.
It was created specifically for DoubleTree by Hilton, crafted to be synonymous with the brand: fun, approachable, and convenient. Guests don't always have time to sit down for table service. This all-day eatery combines the ease of a market with the allure of a brick-oven gastropub. The first one debuted in January at the DoubleTree by Hilton Tulsa Downtown.
You travel constantly for your job. Which destinations do you have your eye on?
Istanbul is one of my favorite cities; it has become an incredible magnet for great food and design, and always provides a richly diverse cultural experience. We actually just placed a Turkish design director there to handle new activity in the region. I also spent some time in St. Petersburg, Russia, where we have exciting new-build projects under construction. I was pleasantly surprised to see a restaurant, nightlife, and cultural vibe coursing through this magnificently scaled city.
How has the mid-market hotel segment changed?
Guests want a hotel that embraces the local culture of their destination. We are rolling out our mid-market brands to new parts of the world, and we spend a lot of time custom tailoring the brand design narratives to be relevant and achievable.
How many projects do you have in the pipeline?
We have an incredible number of projects occurring at the same time. Our global new construction pipeline includes nearly one thousand hotels and many are in locations that are both exciting and pioneering, so they demand a lot of time and energy to get opened. In terms of renovations, just in North America last year, our design team conducted over three thousand design reviews for renovations, conversions, and changes in ownership.
Is there one project you recently opened you are excited about?
Opening new luxury projects around the world is always an exciting event, and we have just completed the Waldorf Astoria in Berlin (shown). I love Berlin, and this Waldorf will certainly make an impact on the future growth of the brand throughout Europe. The recently opened Hilton Columbus Downtown in Ohio (see pages 86 and 124) is another important one because it is a paradigm shift for this type of hotel (much like our new airport hotels around the world), completely changing the level of design, service, and guest experience for these previously overlooked segments. It has a locavore dining experience and guestrooms with artwork located in some unexpected places, so it is not your typical ho-hum convention center experience.

text: Home > Medical > Arthritis > Living with arthritis Updated 23 June 2014 Arthritis and travelling Whether you are travelling to work in a car pool or setting off on a long trip, planning ahead seems to be the key to travelling successfully if you are an arthritis sufferer. 0 All you need to know about knee osteoarthritis Sponsored by Whether you are travelling to work in a car pool or setting off on a long trip, planning ahead seems to be the key to travelling successfully if you are an arthritis sufferer. Car travel Cars with automatic gearboxes and power steering go a long way to making driving as painless as possible. Cars with four doors and automated window openers can also make life easier. Remember to take a pillow, a headrest and medication with you in the car. Do not leave medication in the boot of the car, where it can be damaged by high temperatures. If you have any other aids, such as a walking stick, keep it in the car with you. If you are travelling with a wheelchair, make sure that it can be accomodated in the vehicle in whichyou are travelling. If you are part of a car pool, offer your vehicle, but ask someone else to drive. Suitable insurance arrangements should be made to accomodate this plan. Air travel There is quite a lot you can do to make your life easier when travelling by aeroplane. Communicate any special needs when you book your seat. If getting to the toilet is a problem, book a seat as close as possible to it. If you need special assistance when boarding the plane, tell the airline in advance and arrive at least two hours and a half before the departure of your flight. Request an airport wheelchair if you have difficulty walking. Tell them if you need in-flight assistance. If you need more legroom, book a seat on the emergency exit. Do this when you book your ticket. Use porters to carry your luggage. As these may not always be available, invest in luggage with wheels. Book your luggage through to your final destination, so that it becomes the problem of the airline instead of yours. Make sure that you have medication in your hand luggage in case your luggage gets misplaced. Take the name and telephone number of your doctor with you in case you need prescriptions faxed to you while you are away. Take extra doses of your medication with you in case your return is delayed. Try and book a direct flight. If this is not possible, splitting your journey in half and spending a night in a hotel en route. Train and bus travel In South Africa, train and bus travel can be a painful experience for the traveller with arthritis. Sadly, special needs are not always given the attention they deserve. If you have no choice, enquire about any assistance staff will be able to give you. If you require assistance, it might be necessary to take a travelling companion with you. The high steps many buses have make travelling by bus problematic for people with arthritis. If this is unavoidable, book a midweek trip, when fewer people will be on the bus. Remember to take medication and a pillow with you. General tips Choose a vacation suited to your interests and abilities. If you have difficulty walking long distances, a guided bus tour or a week at the seaside might be better than a trip including many walks. Communicate your needs to the hotel. Enquire about elevators, staircases, bathroom accessibility, bedside telephones and wheelchair accessibility. Don't try and do too many things in one day. If you plan a busy day, plan to take things slowly the following day. You need to take time off to rest. For this reason rushed package tours are not a good idea. Pack lightly. Most hotels have laundry services. The last thing you want to do is to drag heavy suitcases about for weeks on end. Remember to take enough medication for your entire trip and more. Do not keep these all in the same place. You can easily buy another pair of jeans if your luggage gets lost, but replacing your medication could be more problematic. If you are planning to be away for a longer period, e.g. more than four weeks overseas, ask your doctor for a brief letter stating your diagnosis and usual treatment, including any special information such as drug allergies. Such a letter could be very helpful if you become ill and require medical care while in a foreign country. If you have any life threatening allergies, remember that a Medic Alert bracelet may be a life saving investment. Take warm clothing if your destination has a cold climate. One really warm jacket and a warm pair of socks should see you through. When you are travelling, comfort takes precedence over fashion. Remember to take all the aids you might need, such as a raised toilet seat, a special pillow, long handled brushes or reachers and a warming pad.

Stepping Stones
These stones sit in a bed of bark chippings and lead through the green area between our junior and infant buildings at school. We often take our children out to walk along the stones, to play games, balance and help each other step over the wide gaps between each stone. On one side of the stepping stones is a smooth tarmac path and on the other, a small grassy area, that due to our heavy clay soil, is frequently (this term anyway) waterlogged and boggy.
Sometimes, and unsurprisingly recently, the wet weather makes our tarmac pathway impassable, with two metre wide puddles that can reach over and into a five year old's welly boot. Impressive flooding. Despite various different attempts at drainage, the massive puddles remain and the stepping stones then become the most practical method of navigating this area.
They don't look like the best way to get from A to B. Not the quickest or simplest. Big flat slabs of stone, some are smooth with wear and some are rough. The end stone is polished, partly by design and partly by bottoms that like to slide down it to land in the bark chippings. I would be lying if I said that I had never tried that myself: it is a very pleasing method of getting from one end of the pathway to the other. A little challenge to hop along: don't put your feet down in between!
I like the fact that sometimes what looks like the silliest way to get somewhere at one moment can be the most practical at another. I love the fact that I sometimes watch parents and four year olds climbing over the stones, and I love that the fun route becomes the sensible route. Other days I hear parents berating their children, "Hurry up! We don't have time for the stepping stones today!"
Today was the penultimate day of term, of our school year, and we have spent most of this week concentrating on having fun. I think my school is pretty good at keeping the fun throughout the year, not just in the last weeks of term or on special events. But even when it's central to what you believe, the hoops that we have to jump through, rigorous hoops set there by government agencies and which are imperative not to fail…those hoops can sometimes take a lot of the joy out of teaching and learning.
I believe what I think most teachers believe fundamentally, but what is so hard to do in our current educational climate: we learn when we are happy, when learning is relevant to us, when it is interesting and when we are having fun. Learning at a young age should be safe but exciting. There should be some risk, while each child should feel safe and confident to take the risks there. All our children should be happy in school, should feel loved and valued. They should be happy to go to school, keen to be there and confident that they are a vital piece of the jigsaw puzzle. And we as teachers must remember that the most important thing we do is to facilitate learning, not impart knowledge. Children will learn despite us. We need to be the people that show the different ways, the tarmac path, the swampy grass, the stepping stones and help our children to be able to make independent choices.
And wouldn't it be wonderful if the fun way was always the best way? I try to do that when I teach and I try to do that when I work. I forget this when I am off duty and I almost always forget this when I am thinking about myself and my own choices. The fun way can be the best way, the sensible way. We are allowed to enjoy what we do. We are allowed to be happy and we are allowed to make those choices that most directly influence our happiness.
Obvious really. Except that I am rubbish at doing it, stupidly enough. I get preoccupied with making the RIGHT choice and the BEST decision and being SENSIBLE. I try to look at everything from every possible angle and by doing so, I often miss the most important viewpoint of my life. Which is my own view point, of course. Stupid! I know I do it because I fear that I am not sensible enough. That I am childish at times, because I want to have fun and I want to be happy and want everyone around me to have that same joy. So I worry that if I base my decisions on my instinct, then I am going to doom myself and my children to some silly consequence, something dreadful and NON-SENSIBLE. Saying it out loud is making me think again.
I am so fearful, so often, that if I don't take the sensible route, that I won't make the best decisions for my kids, for me, as an adult. I realise that adulthood to me doesn't equate instinctively with fun. That is a shame. Perhaps that is what I love in my job, working with children of three and four and five and six and seven. Fun is what it's all about. And I am good at that with them, good at enjoying the moment in that part of my life. Just not so good at it for off-duty me.
I think I need to stop feeling guilty about choosing to walk along the stepping stones, just because they are there. I think I am allowed to take the fun route sometimes. Doesn't have to always be the tarmac and path, and sometimes, I am telling myself, the stepping stones are the better way.

Revolution Brewing? Never Thought it Would Come to This…
Communist Revolution: I Never Thought It Would Come to This
I never could understand it. How could anyone believe in a totalitarian tyranny that destroys freedom, starves millions and executes millions more? Apparently, a lot of people do — or at least, believe in their version of it. The long march through the institutions was completed some time ago, and both academia and media have a near monopoly on the transmission of biased news, cultural demolition and the ability to affect public attitudes. The "closing of the American mind" is just about complete. Moonbattery blog has an article today called "Brainwashing Works." The author, Dave Blount, points to a sign in NYC's Penn Station where a graffiti artist has penned "Kill All Republicans!" This sentiment is not an isolated occurrence. Twitchy.com reports daily the most vile bile from the left, the unhinged hatred, the desire for violence against Republicans and conservatives. The Democrat Media Complex has created a vast swath of human botnets, which can be set off in mass to launch denial-of-liberty attacks on any and all who oppose the New Progressive Order. Like computer botnets, the human variety is programmed and programmable and act in concert, unhindered by scruples or actual thought.
Lately swarms of human maggots on Twitter have tweeted their joy at the death of General Norman Schwarzkopf yesterday, expressing hope that he died painfully and is now burning in Hell. They have said similar things about former President George H.W. Bush, who is in the hospital with a serious illness, hoping that he dies "in agony." I do not recognize this leftist human scum as fellow citizens, but as traitors, agents of hostile foreign powers and ideologies. With the election of one of their own to the presidency, they are now emboldened to finish off the Republic, and as Blount notes at Moonbattery, are now in a rush to disarm us. A generation ago, Diane Feinstein's proposed gun control bill (to photograph and fingerprint all gun owners) would have resulted in widespread outcry and alarm. A day or so after its announcement, there is hardly a peep from the populace.

Legendary jockeys Pat Day, Ramon Dominguez, Jacinto Vasquez and Walter Blum headline the lineup for the inaugural Jockeys and Jeans event, which will be held from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. on Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs under the big tent just north of the paddock.
Proceeds from the luncheon and auction will benefit the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF), a 501(c)(3) organization that provides financial assistance to 59 former jockeys who have suffered catastrophic on-track injuries.
Tickets are $35 and may be purchased online at
or by calling retired jockey and author Dr. Eddie Donnally at (818) 653-3711.
"We help quadriplegics, paraplegics and riders with brain injuries and other severe injuries," said Nancy LaSala, the Executive Director of the PDJF. "We are always looking for ways to raise awareness of the PDJF. This is something (former) jockeys are putting on for jockeys, and I applaud them for wanting to do something locally."
Dominguez, who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a spill at Aqueduct in January of 2013 that forced his retirement, will be the event's featured speaker. The 37-year-old Dominguez is an unpaid advocate for the work done by the PDJF on behalf of disabled riders.
Dominguez retired with 4,985 victories, winning Eclipse Awards as Outstanding Jockey in 2010, 2011 and 2012. His situation has raised awareness within the Thoroughbred industry of the long-term effects of concussions and head injuries on jockeys.
Other former jockeys expected to attend include Kentucky Derby-winning jockey Mike Manganello, a former leading rider at Tampa Bay Downs; Patricia Cooksey, who rode more than 2,100 winners; Diane Crump, the first woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby; and Barbara Jo Rubin, the first woman to win a race at a recognized track.
Also expected are four-time Tampa Bay Downs leading jockey William Henry; Eibar Coa, who won more than 4,000 races before a racing accident three years ago ended his career; William Klinke, a former Tampa Bay Downs jockey known as "The Colonel;" Michael Straight, who rode his first winner in 2009 at Tampa Bay Downs a few months before becoming paralyzed from the waist down in a spill at Arlington; former Tampa Bay Downs jockey Darrell Brown; and Julia Brimo, who has made a remarkable recovery from a career-ending cervical spinal cord injury suffered in a spill at Keeneland.
Fans attending Jockeys and Jeans will have an opportunity to have their picture taken with the jockeys, enjoy a barbecue luncheon and beverages and bid on unique racing memorabilia. Attendees will receive an autographed commemorative poster. The gates will open at 11 a.m. There will be a general autograph session at 3 p.m. on the first floor of the grandstand.
Tampa Bay Downs jockeys will donate a mount fee on the day of the event.
O'Connell earns Trainer of the Month Award
. With about 75 horses in training (40 at Tampa Bay Downs and 35 at Calder Race Course in Miami) and 30 employees, including her long-time Tampa Bay Downs assistant Brian Smeak, trainer Kathleen O'Connell qualifies on most fronts as a small-business executive.
A lifelong love of horses has enabled the Zerillo's Italian Grill Trainer of the Month to establish a niche as one of the leading Florida-based conditioners in the business. Last year, during the 2012-13 Oldsmar meeting, she earned her 1,500
career victory with then-3-year-old gelding This One's for Mel.
But things were just starting to heat up for O'Connell, who became the first female trainer to sweep either division of the Florida Stallion Stakes when her then-2-year-old Florida-bred filly Scandalous Act won the Desert Vixen Stakes, the Susan's Girl and the My Dear Girl for breeder-owner Gilbert G. Campbell.
The O'Connell-Campbell combination almost went 6-for-6 in the Florida Stallion Stakes series, as their homebred gelding My Brown Eyed Guy captured the Dr. Fager Stakes and the Affirmed before finishing off the board in the In Reality.
For good measure, O'Connell sent out Campbell's youngster Secret Kitten to victories in Calder's Catcharisingstar Stakes and Cassidy Stakes.
O'Connell has achieved numerous milestones since starting her own stable in 1981. The Detroit native won the 1998-99 Tampa Bay Downs training title with 26 victories and shared it 11 years later with Jamie Ness, each saddling 51 winners.
O'Connell became the only woman to be leading trainer at Calder during the 2009-10 season, and three years later was the first female trainer inducted into the track's Hall of Fame.
After winning the Grade II, $350,000 Tampa Bay Derby in 2011 with owner-breeder Gilbert G. Campbell's Watch Me Go, O'Connell got the opportunity that spring to make the hallowed walk to the paddock to saddle the colt for the Kentucky Derby.
And last year – after Scandalous Act proved herself the top Florida-bred juvenile filly – the popular "K.O." made her first Breeders' Cup appearance with the filly in the Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita.
All memorable occasions, to be sure, as was her 1,500
career victory last season at Tampa Bay Downs with This One's for Mel. But on a personal level, O'Connell says it is hard to top the evening of March 9, when she received four major honors at the annual Florida Thoroughbred Breeders' and Owners' Association Florida Champions Gala in Ocala.
Joseph and Arlene O'Connell, her parents, attended the awards banquet while visiting from their hometown of Eagle, Mich. Although her parents do not follow horse racing on a regular basis, it meant the world to have them share in the recognition.
In addition to Scandalous Act's Florida-Bred Champion 2-Year-Old Filly honor, O'Connell collected hardware as leading Florida trainer of state-breds at Florida tracks by earnings ($1,623,507), wins (63) and stakes victories (seven, tied with Martin D. Wolfson).
"My parents are not into the sport like a lot of people. I think I have one picture of my dad in the winner's circle," O'Connell said. "So it was really special to have them with me at the banquet."
One horse that has raced locally, the Joan Scott-trained Ruler of Love, was the Florida-Bred Champion 3-Year-Old Colt/Gelding.
With five victories at Tampa Bay Downs since March 7 – including an 18-1 upset by 4-year-old gelding Ten Pointer on March 16 and 6-year-old mare Sing Me a Lullaby's 11-1 score on March 22 – O'Connell had climbed to third in the standings with 23 victories.
"We always try to have a diversified stable, and we have a good group of horses this year," said O'Connell, who has nominated 10 to the Florida Cup on April 5. "I feel very blessed to have made a living at something I'm so passionate about.
"When it quits being exciting, that's when it is time to quit," she added. "It's not like anyone is making a fortune off it. I've sacrificed relationships and my own personal family (life), because the hours are incredible.
"But since I'm the only one in my family who never graduated from college," she added with a grin, "I feel the urge to excel. I went to the school of hard knocks."
While Scandalous Act may not be ready for the Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore Fillies on Florida Cup Day – she underwent surgery to correct an entrapped epiglottis soon after she returned to training following her sixth-place Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies finish – O'Connell is optimistic My Brown Eyed Guy (Ocala Breeders' Sales Sophomore) and Legal Laura (Sophomore Fillies), both of whom have been training extremely well, will be ready for the April 5 showcase.
O'Connell is also high on the future prospects of her 4-year-old Kentucky-bred filly Street Gem, who is 5-for-12 lifetime including a pair of stakes victories at Monmouth.
"The Tampa Bay Downs meeting is always tough, but we've made a good representation," O'Connell said. "I've loved Tampa for years, and it is always an honor to be recognized."
On today's card, jockey Antonio Gallardo rode two winners, scoring in the third race on 5-year-old mare Sugadadeze for owner William Rivera and trainer Saul Matos and in the fifth on 3-year-old filly Unspoken Rule for owner Arindel Farm and Tampa Bay Downs leading trainer Jamie Ness.
The long-shot special came in the eighth race, when jockey Olaf Hernandez piloted 4-year-old filly Jill's Image to a front-running victory for breeder-owner Rise Family Stable and trainer Alejandro Reyes. Jill's Image paid $86 to win.
Thoroughbred racing at Tampa Bay Downs resumes Friday with a 10-race card beginning at 12:25 p.m. There will be a Pick-5 carryover of $22,968.90 and a Super High-5 carryover of $11,161. The track is open every day for simulcast wagering, no-limits poker action in The Silks Poker Room and golf fun and instruction at The Downs Golf Practice Facility.

First of all I'm really upset with Michael because four times he promised to come visit me and every time he blew me off with no notice. Now most of me doesn't trust him at all :( and I feel really alone.
Secondly, as soon as the ip place figured out I was not only not eating all of my meals but purging as well my life and freedom there was over. They panicked, not knowing how to deal with Ed's. They took me from my room, locked the door, and sent me to the solitary room near the nurses station with no shower or bathroom or even a sink. If I needed to use the bathroom they had to let me in and they watched. Showers I wasn't allowed to have. Going down to meals i wasn't allowed and I had to eat everything they brought up to me, no matter if it was celiac friendly or not.
I wasn't allowed to have cups or my doc approved hydration drink. I passed out 3 times. One time I hit my face, giving myself a black eye and nasty bruise along my cheek bone. My blood pressure was 54/38. Instead of chopping it up to the mess they had me on which lowered my blood pressure they said it was my fault for not eating and drinking (which I had been). I tried to explain but was written off as a liar. They told me to drink more water (and my hydration water my dad brought), and I said ok.
Three days later they said I was drinking too much liquid. They took away my water and hydration drink. Thursday night I passed out again and again I was told it was my fault for not eating or drinking enough water. I said I was eating ( I got in big trouble if I did t finish everything they brought up to me). And explained they had take my water drinks away so I couldn't stay hydrated. They did t listen, didn't care and I was written off again as a liar.
Finally I think they realized I was way out of their league ( something I will discuss later) and they desperately wanted to be rid of me. They said if I didn't go pho at michaels place and agree to go to my moms on the nights I'd otherwise be alone that they'd get a court order saying I couldn't make my own medical decisions and send me away. So I agreed and it's been hell ever since.
Anyways, more later.
I really miss you. Some I will post on the new island but will try to write most here. Will talk again soon. Thanks for sticking with me through all the darkness.
Who else is gonna absolutely rock crop tops when they reach their goal weight? I have several...
good god.

How Vine Is Beating Cinemagram
GIF creation app Cinemagram has seen a significant uptick in interest -- but is losing the battle of the buzz to its upstart rival, Twitter's six-second video app Vine. That's according to London-based startup PeerIndex, a Klout-like service that assigns social media scores to companies and individuals. A day after the Vine launch, Cinemagram had a PeerIndex of 70, with Vine just edging it out at 71. SEE ALSO: Why is Vine So Hot? Ironically, Cinemagram had been having one of its best months ever.

Next Big Thing
Looking for an e-book reader? You have more choices than ever before--though the number of models we
While it doesn't necessarily beat the Kindle Paperwhite, the $119 Nook GlowLight is an excellent e-reader that's strongly worth considering if you don't want to buy into the Amazon ecosystem.
Bigger, sleeker, and more advanced than the first time around, this encore YotaPhone has updates to both its Android and e-ink faces.
Pricing not available
The YotaPhone's second screen is an interesting concept and one I'm quite keen on. Both the E Ink screen and the rest of the phone need serious refinement, however.
Pricing not available
The mooted new tablet is roughly A4 size, and takes doodling in class to the next level.
As rumors swirl that Amazon is developing a new Kindle with an integrated light, Barnes & Noble's new $139 Simple Touch with GlowLight is already a reality.
Expect some incremental improvements to new e-ink e-readers this holiday season, but superslim designs are probably a year or two away.
The next-generation Amazon Kindle will have a glowing front-lit screen, according to reports.
iRex has announced a new line of digital readers that feature next-generation technology--but they're very expensive and geared more toward businesses than average consumers.
The software giant will invest $300 million in a new Barnes & Noble subsidiary, giving it a 17.6 percent equity stake in the company. The Nook digital bookstore will be bundled with Windows 8.
What's in store for e-ink this year? Not much--but expect improvements nevertheless.

VIDEO: Emile Hirsch After Dentist
Friday, August 26th, 2011
1) Does Emile look exactly like Jack Black or is it just me?
2) Feel for him. I think everyone who's ever had dental work done (in his case, wisdom teeth out…ouch) has had a moment like that…it just isn't on YouTube.
3) With that said, wow is this funny!

Designed to provide relief from:
Who Has Hemorrhoids?More than 32 million people deal with hemorrhoids each year. Affecting equal numbers of men and women, hemorrhoids are more common after age 30, but can happen to anyone, at any age.What Are Hemorrhoids?Hemorrhoids (Hem-uh-roids), also called piles, are a very common problem, and while they can be uncomfortable, they are usually not serious. Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in your anus and lower rectum. Veins can swell inside the anal canal to form internal hemorrhoids, or swell near the opening of the anus to form external hemorrhoids - you can have both types at the same time. Itching, discomfort, burning, swelling and painless bleeding during bowel movements are all common symptoms of hemorrhoids. Affecting equal numbers of men and women, hemorrhoids are more common after age 30, but can happen to anyone, at any age. About half of people over age 50 have hemorrhoid symptoms. Many women develop hemorrhoids during the last 6 months of pregnancy and immediately postpartum. Hemorrhoids may be the result of a number of issues, however straining during bowel movements, poor diet and the increased pressure on the pelvis and blood vessels during pregnancy are common causes.What Are Vasoconstrictors?Several hemorrhoid products include vasoconstrictors,such as phenylephrine, to decrease swelling of user's hemorrhoid. Although effective in dealing with hemorrhoids, such products' labels advise that the product not be used without first asking a physician if the user has high blood pressure. Most people are aware that certain prescription medications can raise blood pressure, or interfere with the process of high blood pressure treatment. Fewer, though, realize that over-counter medicines - common remedies like cold medicine, cough syrup, and allergy pills - can also have similar effects. Many well known and easily accessible treatments have been shown to cause negative blood pressure effects. Several medicinal ingredients, like vasoconstrictors, can cause direct alterations in blood pressure, causing blood vessels to tighten, immediately raising blood pressure.Helpful TipsThere are a number of remedies to ease hemorrhoid discomfort. The following treatments can help relieve hemorrhoid symptoms within a few days. If your symptoms do not subside, if they worsen or if you have severe pain or bleeding, consult your physician immediately.

Campo Santo announces its first game: Firewatch
Campo Santo, a small San Francisco game studio composed of former Telltale, 2K Marin, and Double Fine developers, announced its first project: a first-person, single-player game called Firewatch. According to Camp Santo's announcement, you'll play as a man named Henry and explore the Wyoming wilderness after taking a summer job as a fire lookout.
"What is supposed to be a peaceful respite from your complicated life takes a turn when you start to question some of the things that are happening to you," Campo Santo says. "Your only human connection is over a handheld radio, which you'll use to speak with Delilah, your boss, about the things both of you are experiencing."
That's very little information, but I'm already intrigued, especially because Campo Santo's founder Sean Vanaman is from Wyoming, meaning we might get a more personal, Gone Home-type of story.
Firewatch will be published by Panic Inc. on PC, Mac, and Linux. Campo Santo says it would "love for it to come out in 2015."
You can keep up with the Firewatch's development on the company's blog. You can also order a nifty poster for the game designed by Olly Moss, who's also a member of Campo Santo.

Current Insights On ABI And Diagnosing PAD
- Volume 26 - Issue 9 - September 2013
- 6435 reads
- 3 comments
This author offers pearls on how measuring the ankle brachial index (ABI) can facilitate the accurate diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and help salvage limbs.
How does your podiatry practice test for peripheral arterial disease (PAD)? Blume and colleagues in Podiatry Today reviewed a long list of noninvasive testing options.1 These include ankle brachial index (ABI), toe brachial index, segmental pressure measurements, skin perfusion pressure and laser Doppler pressure, color duplex imaging and ultrasonography, plethysmographic waveform analysis, transcutaneous oxygen content and cutaneous oximetry.
This extensive list might seem daunting but ABI screening stands out as one of the least costly options available. A doctor, nurse, skilled medical assistant or technician can perform ABI testing quickly and easily in an office setting. Therefore, podiatrists should take some time to reconsider their role in diagnosing PAD along with recently updated guidelines for ABI screening.
PAD: A Costly And Underdiagnosed Problem
Peripheral arterial disease is a challenging and serious manifestation of systemic atherosclerotic changes with narrowing of the distal extremity arteries. Timely diagnosis of PAD is of paramount importance to the podiatric physician for improving quality of life and preventing limb loss, morbidity and mortality. A strong marker for cardiovascular disease, PAD is associated with coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease.2 Over 10 million people in the United States have PAD with over a 10 percent prevalence in people over 60 years old.3 The cost of treating PAD in the United States is quite high and the estimated cost during 2010 was between $164 and $300 billion.4
The long-term survival of diabetic foot ulcer patients with PAD is especially poor. A recent study in Diabetes Care followed 247 patients with diabetes without previous amputation for a decade.5 The authors found age and PAD were significant predictors for first major amputation with surprisingly high levels of cumulative mortality at one year (15.4 percent), five years (45.8 percent) and 10 years (70.4 percent). The approximate five-year mortality rate of PAD (64 percent) is greater than prostate cancer (9 percent) or breast cancer (14 to 18 percent).6
Despite high costs to society and high levels of mortality, it is amazing how little attention PAD receives in the press and media. Unlike breast cancer, peripheral arterial disease is not often associated with pink ribbons or local 5K races. According to Desmond Bell, DPM, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Save a Leg, Save a Life Foundation in Jacksonville, Florida, "One of the real issues patients are facing is that PAD is under-diagnosed and under-recognized among practitioners."7 Although the Southern Arizona Limb Salvage Alliance toe and flow model is gaining acceptance among some practitioners, there is still much we can do for improving PAD diagnosis and treatment.
What Is The Most Effective Way To Measure ABI?
The ABI is the ratio of the ankle pressure (numerator) over the higher brachial pressure from two arms (denominator). However, there are various methods of calculating the numerator. The podiatric physician should be aware of which methods their assistants use to calculate ABI. The most common method is high ankle pressure, which uses the higher of the two systolic ankle pressures as the numerator. Other methods include using the lower ankle pressure, averaging the two results, or reporting only the posterior tibial artery systolic pressure.
An ABI test is a reproducible and fairly accurate measurement of the ankle and brachial systolic pressures. Although vessel calcification can falsely elevate values, ABI testing displays excellent sensitivity and specificity for arterial disease. Khan and coworkers reported that the ABI, in comparison to angiography, has a sensitivity of more than 90 percent and a specificity of more than 95 percent for diagnosing 50 percent stenosis in the lower extremity arteries.8
I would like to congratulate the author on the good work and update on ABI.
It was enlightening.
What happens in a low flow (where ABI should be low) and associated with calcified vessel (where ABI would be falsely high)? In such a combination, the ABI may show in normal range. Since most of diabetics have calcified vessels, this combination is likely.
What do we do?

Hello Dr. Nayak,
The point you raise is the very reason why I do not rely on ABI as a diagnostic tool versus a cursory screening tool.
I have seen too many instances in my practice where patients revealing "normal" ABIs had, in reality, significant to severe PAD when referred for further testing.
In my opinion, if significant PAD is a concern (as a contributing factor for non-healing of a wound or in a clinically worrisome patient at risk for amputation), I would refer to a vascular specialist (interventionist or surgical) and/or order more diagnostic non-invasive studies, such as pulse volume recordings with segmental waveforms for starters. Skin perfusion pressures would also be clinically superior to an ABI in such a case.
Kind regards,

Very well done article.Reply to this comment »

Realization: There are ten days of class left in the 2010-2011 school year.
I have started my summer job full force, and start grad school tomorrow night, so they are a pretty jam-packed ten days (plus finals). My apologies if Things for Teachers becomes a little low on original stuff until mid-June.

bird watching vacation in Ohio. In northeast Ohio you will find a hidden treasure called The Wilderness Center near Wilmot. They have 6 nature trails to choose from and a wonderful nature center. You'll walk around Wilderness Lake on the Pond Trail. Take a boardwalk over wetlands on Sigrist Woods Trail. Hike through an old apple orchard in lowlands on Fox Creek Trail. The Belden & Blake Trail is a wooded trail where you will find spring flowers and a marsh. Walk along a ridge in upland forest on Sugarcreek Trail. Find yourself in total solitude walking through prairie and woodlands on Pioneer Path. The different terrain make these trails a bird watchers paradise. When you need to relax you will find a bench in the nature center where you look out a huge glass window at bird feeders and many birds right in front of you. They have piped the bird calls inside so you can enjoy a symphony of tweets. There are picnic areas so pack a lunch and enjoy an entire day there. Check out their calendar for special hikes such as:
August 20, 1 p.m. Butterfly Walk
August 23, 2 p.m. Butterfly Walk
August 30, 10:30 a.m. Butterfly Walk
September 4, 2-4 p.m., Wildflower Exploration
September 5, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Wildflower Exploration
September 7, 10 a.m., Wilderness Walk
September 15, 2 p.m., Wilderness Walk
The Wilderness Center is near the world's largest Amish Community so there are many other activities to warrant a vacation in the area.

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why, I got out of bed at all.
There are people, who continuously strive to challenge themselves. They push their limits, in order to be more than what they already are. They look problems in the eye, and tackle it with the intention of becomg stronger, smarter or more sucessful.
I am not one of those people.
I only aim to work harder, to beat others. As competitive as that sounds. An even greater factor of how hard I work, is determined by how many people think I can do it. When one says that I am not capable, I am somewhat triggered into giving it my all. My mother tells me I won't even pass, I get an 'A'. She acts as if it is some kind of miracle, I get some Academic Excellence award. She tells me that I got lucky, I get the same award for three years.
I have this monster in my head, telling me to just give up. It tells me I am ugly, I am miserable, I am worthless. Since I was little, I have called it 'Stan'. As in, "Standing on my hopes and dreams'. Yeah, I thought I was a clever little ten year old. Stan tells me that I am good for nothing, that my past is who I am, and that I deserve all the pain in the world; I agree with the last part.
And this is the reason I keep holding on. In spite. Everything that Stan tells me, makes me stronger. It gives me a reason to hang in there. So I can say to myself, I won.

Snope has apparently 'debunked' the Islamist prayer rumor.
Then again, it's Snopes. Liberal AND not always correct.
Their proof is that the ACTUAL Jummah happens before the DNC.
Which DOESN'T mean they haven't invited him to give a prayer, keep that in mind.
Hey, look, it's the old Conservative trope of "those who debunk convenient rumor are liberals! It's all a conspiracy, man!" lol.
It's not a trope.
So STFU.
Seriously. You have issues.
Snopes hasn't exactly been debunking the VIRULENT rumors that Democrats have been spreading about Republicans. So, get over yourself.

Ah, summer. There's nothing like hitting the open road and taking a good, old-fashioned family car trip. But when you have a child with type 1 diabetes, road trips can be fraught with worry. Will your child be OK for that long on the road, especially if you hit traffic? Never fear. With a little planning, your road trip can be a happy and healthy one for all.
What to Pack
Four to six weeks prior to the trip, discuss your travel plans with your child's healthcare team for pointers on how to manage your child's diabetes while traveling.
Certified Diabetes Educator Marlisa Brown, RD, suggests packing snacks. "Make sandwiches and pack fruit, cheese sticks, water and juice," she suggests. That way, if you're stuck on the road for a long time, a quick meal can be provided.
"We go on four to eight-hour road trips all the time," says Moira McCarthy, whose daughter has type 1 diabetes.
Here are the essentials she never leaves home without: blood glucose meter, extra batteries, glucose tablets, strips, needles, cell phone, prescriptions to use at an out-of-town pharmacy, if needed, and insurance cards.
McCarthy always carries treatment for severe low blood sugar in case her daughter can't ingest anything. And she avoids extremes in temperature, which could damage insulin. "I always carry insulin in a cooler so it doesn't overheat in the car," McCarthy says. She also doesn't let the insulin come into direct contact with ice. In general, it's a good idea to check the temperature and storage information for your insulin and testing supplies to avoid problems.
You might even want to consider storing your supplies in two different bags just in case one is lost or stolen. Better safe than sorry.
Know Where to Stop
When you have a child with type 1 diabetes, a GPS unit or mobile phone with navigation can really come in handy to find nearby restaurants to stop for meals, snacks, or even injections. If you don't have GPS, do your homework beforehand and plan stops along your route.
How to Stay on Track
When McCarthy is on the road, she tests, tests and re-tests. "Remember: Your kid will be less active during the trip, which can affect their (blood sugar) levels." She makes it a practice to check before the trip, halfway through and when she arrives at her destination. Follow your healthcare professional's advice for frequency of blood glucose monitoring.
Make Car Rides Fun
Classic car games such as I Spy or Slug-Bug can help the time pass more quickly. Of course, portable DVDs, books on tape, or gaming devices are also great, too … but they're not as fun (or as bonding) as a family game you can all play together.
With a little prep, your family can have a safe road trip to remember.
Disclaimer: The experiences and suggestions recounted in these articles are not intended as medical advice, and they are not necessarily the "typical" experiences of families with a child who has type 1 diabetes. These situations are unique to the families depicted. Families should check with their healthcare professionals regarding the treatment of type 1 diabetes and the frequency of blood glucose monitoring.

Embellished, embroidered or sequined – black can be quite a charmer. While the colour has always been a favourite, on the ramp and off it, this season it has been raised to another pedestal altogether. Elie Saab portrayed many version of the dress – pastel yellow, deep plum and emerald green. But the darker counterparts that satin with panels of lace stood out for us.

Is email is dead - this year social media became more popular than email. Is there a future for email?
email is great for sending information at the speed of light. But is it the best way to convey understanding, reason, conversation - is it effective communication.
Are there better ways of communicating that replace email ?
OR is it because of poor email etiquette that people are turning away from email?
is there a new generation entering the workforce who don't use email but do use facebook and IM.
Perhaps pen and paper is better in some circumstances

Oct 20 2011: Hi Peter. All I intended to say was usage of Social media 'during business' is still restricted in most of the companies across the world.
Social media 'for promoting business' is definitely a powerful tool, but email is still preferred mode of communication 'during business' for sending files, reports, sharing company confidential information etc. Outside consumer goods domain such as engineering goods, capital goods etc, conventional emails, paper brochures, real world exhibitions are still preferred.
