The electronics titans square off in a tangled tale of mobile technology, centered on Apple's iPhone
The iPhone 6 Plus is too big for everyone to love it, but it's Apple's best phone this year. If your budget and your pocket can make room for it, give the iPhone 6 Plus serious consideration.
The iPhone 6 delivers a bigger screen while remaining easy to handle, with plenty of features to satisfy everyone -- and the promise of Apple Pay on the horizon to potentially sweeten the deal even further.
Sharon Profis compares the security, ease of use and availability of some of the most popular mobile payment options.
One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.
Apple skips 4K and goes directly to what the company calls a 5K display in this expensive, extravagant all-in-one iMac desktop that will appeal to photo and video professionals -- or anyone else looking for the best possible screen resolution.
With the latest version of iOS and an NFC-equipped iPhone, you'll finally be able to pay for transactions with Apple Pay.
Pricing not available
The new Apple iPad Air 2 gets a number of upgrades, including Touch ID, a custom CPU and a thinner body.
Apple's flagship all-in-one desktop, the 27-inch iMac, now has a stunning 5,120x2,880-pixel-resolution screen
We celebrate the launch of the iPhone 6 with "iPhone 6 You Up". All night.
For iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners, Apple Pay is a super-secure alternative to plastic cards. But are retailers ready?

Police say two males entered the store at 320 N. Second St. in Patterson and one of the suspects produced a weapon, demanding money from the cashier.
The employee was not injured, and the suspects fled with an undisclosed amount of cash and miscellaneous items from the store.
Deputies are investigating the incident and are busy reviewing surveillance video and other undisclosed evidence at the scene. One of the suspects was described as a younger black male. One of images provided by police show a male entering the store through the front door wearing a white shirt, a black and white jacket and a white baseball cap.
Investigators will be looking at other surveillance footage in the area and are asking the public to help identify the suspects seen in some surveillance photos.
"We don't have a lot of information at this point," Patterson Police Detective Mike Fisher said. "We're looking to see if the public can help."

A pair of servicemen, both Olympians, are competing in this week's World Cup of Modern Pentathlon, currently underway in Palm Springs.
Army Spc. Dennis Bowsher and Air Force Reserve Maj. Eli Bremer are set to compete in this week's event.
They carry on a legacy of service member pentathletes in a list that includes Gen. George S. Patton, who competed in modern pentathlon at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. Helen Patton, the general's granddaughter, offered the keynote address at Tuesday's opening ceremony.
After the opening ceremonies, both Bowsher and Bremer were greeted by retired Army Lt. Gen. Herbert Temple, Jr. who also spoke at the competition's kickoff. During his speech, Temple challenged all the athletes to "be audacious."
Throughout the week athletes will compete in five events including epee fencing, 200mm freestyle swim, show jumping, laser shooting, and a 3km cross-country race.
Bowsher, who is stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado, competed for Team USA in London at the 2012 Olympic games and placed 32nd overall with a point total of 5324. He is training for the next 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Bowsher completed Basic Combat Training at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri, and is trained as an Army 88M Motor Transport Operator for his occupational specialty.
He applied for and is now part of the Army's World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) which offers elite-level athletic training to soldier-athletes in Olympic sports. Soldiers are selected from active duty, Army Reserve, and the National Guard. On the Army WCAP website, the program is described as "A program that provides outstanding Soldier-athletes the support and training to compete and succeed in national and international competitions leading to Olympic and Paralympic Games, while maintaining a professional military career and promoting the U.S. Army to the world." The program falls under the Army's Recruiting Command and is an outreach tool to promote a positive image of the Army.
Bremer competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and comes to the Palm Springs event from Colorado Springs. According to his website, Bremer is a 2000 Air Force Academy graduate and competed for the Academy in swimming and fencing. After graduating, he was part of the Air Force's World Class Athlete Program, which is similar to the Army's WCAP detailed above. He earned an MBA from University of Colorado in 2006 and co-founded a corporate motivational training company, 5Ring Insight, in 2008. He continues to serve as a reservist and reports to Robins Air Force Base in Georgia when not in Colorado Springs.
Both athletes will compete in the Men's Qualifying Round on Wednesday at venues located at Sunrise Park in Palm Springs. During the qualifiers, athletes compete in four out of five events with equestrian show jumping left for the finals and mixed relay days only.

New development planned for fall 2013
September 18, 2012
DEARBORN / September 18, 2012---Beginning fall 2013, students at University of Michigan-Dearborn will have a new option for housing - The Union at Dearborn. The $30-million Urban Campus Communities (UCC) development located at 760 and 780 Town Center Drive, directly across Evergreen Road from the university campus, will include apartments for more than 500 students.
The 231,791 square-foot buildings that will be built on the property will be marketed to UM-Dearborn students and will feature space leased by the university for student life activities, including meeting rooms, student gathering spaces, group study rooms, offices for student organizations and a cabaret-style theater.
A public groundbreaking and community celebration will be held on site on Monday, September 24, at 3 p.m.
We are excited to be redeveloping this property in Dearborn, in collaboration with UM-Dearborn, said Larry Winokur, managing member, UCC. The Union at Dearborn is a great example of how successful public-private collaborations can work to enhance a community and bring new residents into the city. We are thrilled to be working with great Dearborn community institutions, like UM-Dearborn and Ford Land, to make this happen.
Our students have expressed an interest in housing for many years, so we are pleased that this development allows students the opportunity of adjacent housing to enhance their university experience, said Daniel Little, chancellor, UM-Dearborn. With the reduction of state funding and our commitment to minimizing tuition increases, this public-private collaboration will allow the university to continue to invest in its academic mission, while transforming the campus experience for all students. The Union at Dearborn also will provide greater access for students wishing to pursue a Michigan degree in southeastern Michigan.
We are proud to be a part of this effort and to see these buildings being reused to serve both the community and student body, said Donna Inch, Ford Land chairman and CEO. The level of teamwork and dedication from everyone involved in this project has been impressive.
The Union at Dearborn also will bring a newly revived, 24/7 presence to the community, with economic growth expected for the surrounding businesses. This is such an exciting development for the City of Dearborn, said Dearborn Mayor John B. OReilly, Jr. We are thrilled that UM-Dearborn students soon will be able to call Dearborn home throughout the year and we look forward to welcoming them to our community.
Asset Campus Housing, a leader in the management of student housing facilities nationwide, will manage the property. Leasing is expected to begin in the coming weeks. Room styles will include fully furnished studios, two, three, and four-bedroom options. Final lease arrangements and rental rates will be available in the coming weeks. The facility will feature public laundry on each floor, as well as fitness and collaboration areas. Additional information is available at www.unionatdearborn.com.
UCC finalized the purchase of the property from Ford Land on Thursday, Sept. 13, 2012. The development is privately owned and operated. It is not owned or operated by UM-Dearborn.

Dear Angry Relatives of Hospital Patients
Dear Angry Screaming Family Member,
You know who you are. You are the ones who rant and rage and accuse the staff nurses of being uncaring and oblivious without having any understanding of what is actually going on in that ward.
Those of you who think that elderly patients are being ignored and discriminated against by front line staff really need to walk a mile in a registered nurse's shoes. The registered nurses are being forced to take on a lot more patients than they can handle. Full stop.
You would not be able to do any better. Not at all. I know that to be a fact. If you were in the nurses shoes and working 14 hours non stop as they often do your patients would still be neglected and left unattended. The nurses have to make extremely tough decisions as to who gets care. We are not ignoring people nor are we oblivious. So many members of the public seem to think that we are oblivious to all the suffering around us. We are spread to thin. We do not hate elderly people. We do know when someone cannot feed himself and we understand that it is our responsibility to ensure that our patients do not starve.
You, however, have no understanding whatsoever of what a our job involves, how much responsibility we have on our shoulders or just how much we have going on at once. Over a decade of hospital nursing has clued me in to just how little the public knows. You do not understand the consequences of what happens when the nurse loses her focus. It's not 1970 anymore. The patients now are sicker, more complex. Things are moving a lot faster and every last detail of everything I do needs to be recorded for the solicitors. I can't fight this. Believe me when I say that you do not have the faintest idea. This is especially goes for those of you who have not nursed in a hospital since 1980. If you walked onto a ward in 2009 and tried to take on 12 patients + as I do every shift, you would be fucked. You would fail 100% even if you pushed yourself harder than you think you could be pushed. You would fail. Your patients would be neglected. Go on, give it a try or shut the fuck up. If there are 5 self caring well patients on the ward you get 2 nurses. If there are 35 totally dependent medically unstable wandering, confused crashing patients on the ward you still only get 2 nurses. The number of staff never change no matter what is happening.
Today's nurses did not invent complex interventions, polypharmacy, and the indignities of old age. We did not make your mum old. We do not have a say with the staffing levels. We did not give your dad dementia or a poor appetite. The doctors have each of my patients on pages and pages and pages of drugs and it takes them 20 minutes to swallow one pill, and sometimes they ALL are on 12 or more at least. They can take 20 minutes to swallow one pill as a result of cognitive problems rather than a physical swallowing problem. I might have 10 people like this, all due to have drugs at the same time at regular intervals throughout the day. It is an impossible time consuming task. If I get every pill into them I have neglected and harmed my other patients. If I don't get those drugs into these people than I have neglected and harmed them. It is a no win situation that I did not create. I am just responsible for any bad outcomes that occur.
When you experience what it is like being one nurse trying to feed five patients at once whilst being constantly interrupted as well as dealing with emergencies and admissions simultaneously then you will start understanding what is going on hospital wards and why people are being left with trays in front of them when they cannot feed themselves. How very dare you accuse a staff nurse of intentionally starving a patient without understanding what else she has on her shoulders at that moment in time.
You (as the nurse) will also have countless drugs and interventions due at this same time and at constant and fixed times throughout the day. The consequences for screwing any of this up are dire.
A simple assessment missed because I was running around making sure everyone was fed and toileted will probably lead to a life threatening situation later in the shift and a court date for me. Everything is always happening at once and nothing can wait. I am not god. I cannot astroproject and be 10 places at once. I cannot make patients disappear so that I can have a better chance of caring for my others. I cannot create an additional nurse out of thin air to help me. All I can do is aim to hit the to priority stuff, work hard, skip meal breaks, beg for mercy and a miracle.
My own beloved Uncle Richard was admitted to my ward once. I had 18 patients that day and he was in the other nurse's group of 17 patients. He never forgave me until the day he died for not getting into that room of his to check on him for 10 hours. If you understood what was going on with the 18 patients I was legally responsible for and how alone I was you would understand why I could not go and see to Uncle Rich. How every fucking dare you stand there and yell and say "you wouldn't treat my loved one like this if he was your dad". Fuck off. You have absolutely no idea about what is going on here do you?
Sometimes a miracle happens. There are days when I have less dependent patients than usual and my chances of getting everyone cared for properly are upped. I might even get them all cared for well and get a cup of tea. These rare types of shifts keep me going. Unfortunately the gods of nursing only allow this to happen once every few years or something.
You (as the nurse) have a million things to do. YOU HAVE to start with the things that could be lethal if they are not dealt with right away and then work your way down the list. Other than that you have absolutely no control. That list is top heavy and you won't have worked your way through the top priority stuff before the end of your shift. And things will be no better for the oncoming shift. You can't look stressed or the patients will panic. You (as the nurse) do not have the right to additional help but you are responsible, possibly at risk of criminal negligence if you fail.
If a childminder was forced to look after 12 or 20 children at once you can bet your bottom that she would bring additional help in or refuse to do it. A staff nurse does not have this right. We just have to move fast and do 10 things at once. This does not allow for hand holding and washing etc no matter how much the nurse wants to be doing those kinds things. Would you force a childminder to take on the care of 15 infants alone with 1 untrained helper only who is not allowed to do a lot of care? Would you interrupt her every 2 minutes while she was dealing with this? Would you then accuse her of being lazy and uncaring when one of those infants was left to cry, or left in a soiled nappy? Would you? It seems to be part of British culture to do this very kind of thing to staff nurses. It is sick.
I am a mother. At one time I had 4 children under the age of 6. One of those kids has special needs. The days I spent at home caring for them with no help while my husband worked long hours away would break most people. I found it easy. I was a nurse before I was a mother you see. It was easier than caring for 4 medical patients in a hospital that is for sure. I always have to take many many more than 4 medical patients when I go to work. Always.
If my own father was my patient on top of 10,15, 20 others he wouldn't see much of me either.
Seriously. You just need to fucking stop with the "You wouldn't treat him this way if it was your father" line. You have no idea what you are talking about. You are unable to see the big picture. You are only thinking of your loved one. I am aware of and responsible for the clinical picture for 25 people. What is happening with every single patient affects every single other patient. Whether or not you get that bedpan or painkiller in a reasonable amount of time is dependent on what is happening with the other patients. I couldn't control this situation if you put a gun to my head.
If another patient could not breathe and had a fast irregular heart rate and my father was asking for a pain killer at the same time I would HAVE to sort the short of breath heart patient first and then hopefully be able to get to my father. Hopefully. It would be entirely dependent on what is going on with all the other patients too.
I probably would not even be able to grab the o2 mask for the heart patient without being stopped for 5 commode requests....and the patient waiting for pain killers is still waiting.....and this is all happening during that 20 minute window I have to feed 7 people. The ambulance has just shown up to transfer a patient during this as well. The more patients I have to take, the more screwed everyone gets. Multiply this scenario I have just described by 5 times an hour for 12 hours straight. Then maybe you will start to understand what a shift is like for a staff nurse.
There is never a time during most of these shifts when the nurse is left alone, free of interruptions to go around and check on ALL his/her patients and make sure that they have everything that they need. Every single minute of many of these shifts are overbooked with multiple jobs that could get a nurse struck off and a patient harmed if they are missed. No matter how badly you (as the nurse) want to get around to everyone I can guarantee you that it isn't going to happen and that it will be out of your control. Most shifts are like this. And even though it is out of your control you are still responsible for any bad outcomes. All I can do is work hard, prioritize, skip meals and push push push myself. We are not oblivious, uncaring, and thick. We are overwhelmed. It is triage people. Triage. Not holistic care.
You also have to remember that most of the staff on the wards are not nurses. Most of the time at least half of the ward staff on any given shift are unqualified. They are usually hard working and caring people but not nurses. Most things can only be done by a nurse however. Yet the public seems to think that everyone walking around in uniform is a nurse. What the fuck is that all about?
The public need to be realising all of this rather than abusing overwhelmed nurses who are run off their feet most days. I know that you would do no better if you were in my shoes.
As a matter of fact I am also convinced that you would do a heck of a lot worse. I know you would.
If you have a problem or a question about your loved ones care that is absolutely fine. We are 100% cool with that and want to help. I may not be able to stop and talk to you for the duration of my shift but I will stay over at the end unpaid to speak to you. I do appreciate your concerns. I have received information off of relatives that have saved my arse on a number of occasions.
I never have a problem with people who are unhappy with the care they are getting because I know that their concerns are legit. I have never in all my years of nursing seen a patient intentionally neglected because of complaining. I have seen people who have praised the hospital over and over again in the local paper get neglected because someone else on the ward was sicker and there were too few nurses.
I also get that even the most reasonable person can lose it and lash out when their loved one is ill. But there is "lashing out due to grief" and then there is completely and utterly psycho. Lately we are overwhelmed with psychos. Make no mistake about it, these are daily mail reading nutters of the highest order.
Lately we are getting too many people that are running onto the ward screaming and calling pregnant nurses who have just worked a double shift with no break fucking whores, fucking niggers, stupid miserable uncaring fucking cunts. And these are the family of members of broken elderly medical patients that we got better and nursed back to health.......What brings on these outbursts? Call bell took more than 2 minutes to get answered (3 staff trying to answer 10 call bells). The tea trolley girl missed bed 4. We ran out of pillows and cannot get anymore. Medic is dealing with a cardiac arrest on another ward and also has 10 crashing people to see after that and cannot come and tell family of a patients x ray results right now.
You can only imagine what the relatives of the ones we can't help are like. I cannot even begin to describe their behaviour here. It is like they took their language classes at the militant medical nurse school of polite conversation.
This kind of abuse of staff is increasing like crazy lately. Is it something in the water?

what could help? I have had 3 relatives in different hospitals recently, one paediatric ward, no problems, really excellent (mind you parents mostly did the feeding and washing part), and two adult, not so good but you could tell that the nurses were run off their feet just coping. It was incredible, no point complaining, it felt we were all in the trenches together. But as a relative is there any way to complain or comment that would have any useful effect? We don't know about what staffing levels are or should be, we just see people rushing past doing several things at once. Shouldn't the nmc/gmc report on staffing levels and the dangers caused? People might listen at the moment. Sara

"I wrote this on the beach after getting a text from a colleague. I can't even let go when I am away for god's sake. I haven't even unpacked yet."
Yet another sign of unimaginable stress levels. Don't accept it, there other things you can do and still call yourself a good nurse. Talk to any member of staff in the icu or specialist areas and see how many would work on a ward again - they are not bad people but understand the system will not change until nurses stop just complaining and vote with their fucking feet.

If anyone needs a holiday it's you. So have it. Move away from the laptop.
And seriously, Anne, it's time for you to look for another job. It's killing you. I'd never, ever, ever work on a ward again and every time I read your blog I remember why. It's not worth your sanity.
Take care of yourself.

Hi Anne
I work in complaints for an acute trust and would so love to cut and paste your post as a response to some of the letters we receive! (Slight problem is there is no way our Chief Exec would sign it - because that would mean taking responsibility for the problems there are - shame)

Staff : patient ratio's decide whether patients get good care or not. Full Stop.
The general public do not understand the workload that rests on a Registered Nurse's shoulders on the majority of wards.
Nurse Anne - you define it very accurately, throughout all of your posts. The stress is evil. I moved to A&E where it is slightly better.
I recall an on-line petition to Downing Street a while back regarding safe ratio's,...
...the Prime Ministers Office responded that...
"The Government believe nurse leaders should have the freedom to determine their own staffing ratios according to local conditions"
There is a new, current petition on-line regarding safe ratio's. I urge EVERYONE to sign it.
(especially relatives with complaints who choose to hammer the nurses a little bit further)

There's a lot of entitlement in the UK these days. Teachers, university lecturers and the rest are having to put up with the relatives of students and students themselves being very keen to exercise their "rights" without paying due attention to their obligations.

Today's nursing students are talked to as though they are children. As a student you are supposed to be 'supernumery' but of course in reality you are not. You must sign to say you are of 'good character' and be polite and courteous at all times or harsh punishment will follow (however other members of staff can be as rude, arrogant and sarcastic as they like to students without any fear of being similarly disciplined and boy don't some of them take advantage of that). As a student I was shouted and screamed at by various members of staff at all levels. I was asked extremely personal questions about sex and my private life. Are such individuals really suited to nursing? (You bet I refused to supply them with this information!) I was bullied, bawled at and ordered to stand to attention. I was forced to listen to my 'betters', who I was supposed to 'respect' indulging in crude and vulgar conversations - I was forbidden to spend quiet times revising so had no option but to listen to this juvenile drivel.) Oh I had plenty of obligations as a student but seemingly no rights at all. Like many of my peers I had previously had a good job where I was valued, respected and addressed like an adult but naively I believed nursing was a dignified and worthwhile profession and would be a way of giving something back to society. In the end I was so disgusted and disillusioned that I left, never to return.

I agree I am an RGN and I work for our trusts nurse bank I cover all wards including the A&E department within our trust. I have on a number of occasions had to look after 15 medical patients, two terminals (one with a syringe driver) two with PEG Feeds two with Hickman Lines and one with a PICC line, not to mention countless IV's to go up and other poorely patients. The Chief Executives response to cut backs within our trust was to state in a Local Newspaper that it would not compromise patient care, Bulls##t! Although I am a more than a competent Nurse, I feel that it is difficult to give the expected level of care when you have so many patients with so many needs to look after on my own. The trust thinks that if they tell the public what they want to hear then all will be well, WRONG it is patients care and possibly the nurses pin numbers that are being compromised due to being put in such a demanding and potentially dangerous position, But do the higher authority care? DO THEY HELL.

Johann Tschopp held his grip on 11th place overall Friday after the most difficult day so far at the Giro d'Italia. But the BMC Racing Team rider said he knows he faces an event tougher challenge on Saturday's penultimate stage.
Santaromita In The Break
Earlier in the 198-kilometer race that featured five categorized climbs – including two ascents of the Category 1 Alpe di Pampeago – BMC Racing Team's Ivan Santaromita was part of a 17-man breakaway. BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said it was beneficial for Tschopp to have Santaromita up ahead. "Ivan was able to give Johann a ZipVit bottle and gel to him in between the climbs so that was really good," Baldato said. Roman Kreuziger (Astana Pro Team) soloed to the stage win while Joaquin Rodriguez (Katusha Team) held onto a slim 17-second lead over stage runner-up Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Barracuda). Tschopp said though he is still suffering the effects of a cold, he is giving his best effort. "I fought hard to stay close to the favorites on a tough day," he said. "In the end I'm satisfied I could finish near the best riders and keep my position in the overall. Tomorrow's stage there will be two big climbs. I know already Mortirolo – but we won't ride on the same side. I know about the Stelvio, too, since we were there in the Giro in 2005, but I don't remember the roads exactly."

Environmental Studies
The major in environmental studies examines the interactions between the natural and built environment. It encapsulates the fundamental social aspects of sustainability, environmental impact, law, ethics, development, energy use, economics and politics.
For more information on the program structure and content, view the Science Undergraduate Handbook.
Major outline
In planning for an environmental studies major, it is essential that you enrol in GEOS 1001/GEOS1901 ('Earth, Environment and Society') and at least one of the following units of study:
The core intermediate unit in environmental studies is GEOS2121/GEOS2921 ('Environmental and Resource Management'). All students wishing to complete the major must enrol in this unit. Your second year units will form the prerequisites for your third year units, so it is a good idea to plan ahead and have an idea of which senior units you plan on taking, in order to take the relevant prerequisites in your second year. You should consider the following units of study: BIOL2009/2909, BIOL2010/2910, BIOL2022/2922, BIOL2024/2924, GEOS2111/2911, GEOS2115/2915, GEOG2321, GOVT2228, LWSC2002, RESC2031.
To successfully complete your environmental studies major, you must take at least 24 credit points from the following units of study: ENVI3111/ENVI3911, ENVI3112/ENVI3912, ENVI3114, BIOL3007/BIOL3907, GEOS3014/GEOS3914, GEOS3520/GEOS3920, RSEC4231. This must include at least 12 credit points of ENVI-coded units.
ENVI3114: Energy and the Environment
GEOS3520: Urban Citizenship & Sustainability
BIOL3007: Ecology
GEOS1001: Earth, Environment and Society
ENVI3111: Environmental Law and Ethics
ENVI3112: Environmental Assessment
GEOS3014: GIS in Coastal Management
BIOL2024: Ecology and Conservation
GEOS2121: Environmental and Resource Management
Graduate opportunities
With a major in environmental studies, you can pursue careers in government funded organisations, in local government, or in the multitude of private environmental consultancies seeking graduates with science-based skills and specialist knowledge in environmental issues.
Employment opportunities also exist with conservation and environmental groups. There are increasing career opportunities in consultancy work for large government and industrial organisations, smaller community-based organisations involved in preparing environmental impact statements, monitoring and rehabilitation.
Further study for major
If you are interested in furthering your specialisation in environmental studies, you may wish to undertake an honours year in either biology or geography, a postgraduate coursework program such as the Master of Science in Environmental Science or the Master of Environmental Science & Law, or a postgraduate research program (Masters or PhD) in a related discipline such as biology or geography.

A nutritious diet that includes lots of fruits and vegetables might not be the greenest in its environmental impact, according to a new study from France.
After analyzing the eating habits of about 2,000 French adults, and the greenhouse gas emissions generated by producing the plants, fish, meat, fowl and other ingredients, researchers concluded that widely embraced goals for the health of people and for the health of the planet are not necessarily perfectly compatible.
Growing fruit and vegetables doesn't produce as much greenhouse gas as raising cattle or livestock, the study confirms, but people who eat a primarily plant-based diet make up for that by eating more of those foods.
"When you eat healthy, you have to eat a lot of food that has a low content of energy. You have to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables," said Nicole Darmon, the study's senior author from the National Research Institute of Agronomy in Marseille, France.
Greenhouse gases - which include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide - are produced by machines that burn fossil fuels. That gas is then released into the atmosphere, where it contributes to climate change.
All food production - including the use of farming equipment and transportation - is estimated to be responsible for 15 to 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in developed countries, the authors write in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Scientists have long advised people to switch to a plant-based diet to benefit the environment and their own health.
To more closely examine that premise, Darmon and her colleagues used food diaries from 1,918 French adults to compare the nutritional quality of people's real-world diets and how much greenhouse gas they produced.
From the diaries that were kept for seven days between 2006 and 2007, the researchers identified the 400 most commonly consumed foods. They then used a database to find out how much greenhouse gas was emitted to produce each one - measured as the grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per 100 grams of food.
All aspects of a food's lifecycle were taken into account, including how it was cooked, Darmon said. "The only step that wasn't taken into account was the transport from the supermarket to the home," she added.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the average car emits about 423 grams of carbon dioxide every mile.
Overall, about 1,600 grams of carbon dioxide were emitted for every 100 grams of red meat produced (not including pork). That's more than 14 times the amount of greenhouse gas emitted during the production of fruit, vegetables and starches. It's also about 2.5 times as much greenhouse gas as that generated by fish, pork, poultry and eggs.

The UTC Learn (Blackboard) system is functioning as expected.
UTC Learn is your virtual classroom environment. Most of our instructors are now incorporating Blackboard as part of their classroom instruction, whether it's online, face-to-face, or hybrid, so it made sense to change our focus from a product name (Blackboard) or a modality (UTC Online) to the focus of learning...thus UTC Learn. We are very excited about the changes. UTC Learn is the new name for our Blackboard learning management system.
If you have concerns about the services provided by UTC Learn please contact the UTC Dean of Students or a higher education representative in your state of residence.

Pressure helps blood flow through blood vessels. Hypertension occurs when this pressure gets too high. When this happens in the blood vessels in the lungs, it is called pulmonary hypertension.
Pressure may rise for any number of reasons. It creates a potentially serious condition. The right side of the heart needs to pump harder to move blood against the pressure. If left untreated, the right side of the heart can eventually fail.
The blood vessels in the lungs are very sensitive to oxygen. The lower the level of oxygen, the narrower the vessels become. Higher pressure will be needed to push blood through the narrow blood vessels. Pressure will also increase when there is more blood in the lungs than normal.
There are many different causes of pulmonary hypertension in children, such as:
- Birth defects that affect the heart (eg, septal defects , leaky heart valves)
- Deformity of the chest wall (pectus excavatum)
- Conditions like scleroderma , sickle cell disease , lupus , HIV
- Chronic lung disease
- Blood clots in the lungs
Pulmonary hypertension can also be inherited. This is called familial pulmonary hypertension. In other cases, the cause is unknown.
Risk Factors
Risk factors include:
- Being born with a heart defect or a deformity of the chest wall
- Having certain conditions (eg, scleroderma, sickle cell disease, lupus, HIV)
- Having heart or lung disease
- Having a family member with pulmonary hypertension
- Living in a high altitude
Symptoms include:
- Progressive shortness of breath
- Blue coloring of skin around mouth, hands, and feet
- Chest pain or pressure
- Fast heart rate
- Chronic cough
- Fatigue
- Fainting and dizziness
- Ankle or leg swelling from fluid retention
If your child has any of these symptoms, talk to the doctor right away. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions.
The doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include the following:
- Blood tests
- Blood gas determination —to check the concentration of gases in the blood
- Chest x-ray —a test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the chest
- CT scan —a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures inside the chest
- Cardiac catheterization — a test that uses a catheter and an x-ray machine to assess the heart and its blood supply
- Pulmonary function tests —a group of breathing tests to see how well the lungs are working
- Echocardiogram —a test that uses sound waves to look at the size, shape, and motion of the heart
Most cases of pulmonary hypertension are due to another condition. In this case, the doctor will treat the underlying cause.
If the doctor cannot determine the cause, your child may be treated with medicine, such as:
- Medicines to lower blood pressure in the lungs
- Anticoagulants to prevent blood clots from forming
- Diuretics to help the body eliminate extra fluid
- Oxygen therapy to increase the oxygen getting into the blood stream
- Nitric oxide to relax the muscles in the arteries of the lungs
Your child may also need oxygen therapy. In severe cases, a lung transplant may be needed.
To help reduce your child's chance of developing pulmonary hypertension, take these steps:
- If your child has a condition that can lead to pulmonary hypertension, get proper treatment.
- In adults, smoking is a risk factor for pulmonary hypertension. Encourage your child to avoid smoking.

Green Hills Ventures, Llc and Emanuel Martinez
Fund: GreenHills Ventures
Posted by mlinderman on 2007-11-14
"On October 7, 2007 Mlinderman posted a message on this website (The October 7th Posting") concerning the Company's engagement of GreenHills Ventures, LLC and Emanuel Martinez to perform the required due diligence on the Company and to assist in identifying certain investors from GreenHillsVentures Wealth Management Group (which is a separate and distinct entity from the GHV Fund, LP, an early stage venture fund). I hereby unequivocally retract and rescind the October 7th Posting.
The Posting made reference to a $15,000 fee that was paid by the Company to GreenHills Ventures.
I think and believe that the fee received by GreenHills Ventures was used to cover only a portion of the actual out-of-pocket expenses and the Company has been advised the actual expenses incurred by GreenHills Ventures went over the fee paid for completing its due diligence and preparing a due diligence package and certain investor presentations for use by the Company. I also note that GreenHills Ventures and Emanuel Martinez succeeded in bringing an investor group to the Company with the appropriate background and expertise, but ultimately that investor and others decided not to invest in the Company.
The Company apologizes for making the Posting in haste and causing questions to be raised regarding the ethics and the good reputation of both Emanuel Martinez and the GreenHills Ventures team.
I do not and have never meant to suggest that GreenHills Ventures or Mr. Martinez acted unethically, or illegally, or improperly in connection with its agreement with the Company. Accordingly, I hereby retract the October 7th Posting in its entirety"

Poor at Following Up
Fund: GreenHills Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2013-01-21
I was contacted by one of the GreenHills' analysts, Sumit. He informed me they found my company's profile on Gust and were interested because they had just made an investment in a similar space and thought there were some synergies between our companies. Initially, this confused me because after describing what their new portfolio company did, it didn't seem to be very compatible. I asked Sumit for some references, which he said he would get together over the weekend and send over a few days later. About a week later, I received a call from Manny. He told me he wasn't sure why he was calling, other than because Sumit asked him to. They didn't seem very organized. He pitched me GreenHills, I described a little of what my business does, and then I asked for a few references that I could speak with, perhaps the company they just invested in as well. Of course, I never received any contacts to reach out to or letters of reference. This firm seems to be disorganized and poor at following up on their promises. Not the type of money I would want involved in my business. I would suggest doing thorough research with any VC firm and their partners before moving the process forward or you could be strung along as in this example.PRIVATE: Members Only
Use Caution!
Fund: GreenHills Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2012-11-09
We were introduced to GreenHills and Manny. Despite the concerns I had from the comments posted here, we continued to have discussions with them. We eventually received a very detailed, professional term sheet which had, as expected, a commitment fee. Before signing the term sheet, we asked for references from other private companies that had actually secured investment from GreenHills. Manny supplied a couple of references for other companies that were in a similar stage as us (had secured term sheets but hadn't completed due diligence or received any actual money from them), but Manny was not able to provide any reference from any company that had actually completed a financing with them. As I pushed for real references, GreenHills then got very quiet. Surprise, surprise. We never signed the term sheet since we could not effectively reference them. I can't say whether they are a scam or not, but definitely do your homework and make sure you get real references if you decide to proceed. I would also look into a case that is being brought against GreenHills by a company called 10-Acious in Kentucky. Reading through the complaint is fascinating stuff and certainly will make you wary of GreenHills!PRIVATE: Members Only
Accepts Commitment Deposit and Then Defaults on Its Contractual Obligations
Fund: GreenHills Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-11-29
GreenHills solicited us as a potential funding candidate. GreenHills required and accepted a commitment deposit of several thousands of dollars. A long due diligence process was required which the company completed and submitted to GreenHills. GreenHills then began defaulting on its contractual obligations by not returning calls and emails and it became obvious after 15 months of not much going on that GreenHills accepted our money and basically left us holding the bag. GreenHills appears to practice this behavior on a regular basis from what we have seen posted on this site.PRIVATE: Members Only (1872 Characters)

Similar Experience
Fund: GreenHills Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-09-30
I actually read all of the posts before "signing" a diligence agreement with GHV and took all the precautions we could - we got a very reduced "fee", went back and forth on the contract multiple times over legal terms, asked for precautions, talked to others, etc, all trying to hedge our bets. Manny and his team (to remain anonymous as some of them are advisors to GHV and not official employees of GHV) legitimately seemed like nice guys and seemed interested/excited in what we were doing. We entered into diligence with them, and spent the next 2 months putting together all of the information they asked for. We built up a good relationship, they asked us questions and for further information, we had lunches, drinks, etc. I believe they even put together an investment memo on our company. I was convinced that this was a fair process and that others were wrong about their previous experiences with GHV. Then, however, one day they went silent. They claimed to be drafting a SPA for us but simply stopped returning emails and phone calls. We never received a formal response one way or another. I would have been fine with them "passing" on the deal but would 1, have liked to know why and get some feedback considering we paid their fees, and 2, would have liked to have been given a response up front instead of waiting around for 2 months for them to get back to us. It was a huge waste of time, and in my mind, an example of some of the worst business etiquette I have ever experienced. Not to mention we turned away other investors because we felt bad about breaking the terms of our arrangement. I used to be on the investor side of things and we would AT THE VERY least give honest feedback even to companies we never went into any sort of process with. I legitimately enjoyed our time in working with GHV until this latest happening and thus I was giving them the benefit of the doubt before posting anything here. That said, with still no response on their end, I felt it was only duty to post about our experience. To have taken up our time, money, and our resources and not even give any official response one way or another just seems unacceptable.PRIVATE: Members Only (333 Characters)

I was solicited by an associate of Greenhills to present to Mr. Martinez. I pitched and received 2 days later what has now become the standard MO for Greenhills. I got a consulting agreement from them requiring me to pay them $12k in return for locking me up to only taking money from their investors or having to pay a "break up fee" of a percentage of whatever I raise elsewhere.
The most troubling part is I asked them for references. This was requested 3 weeks ago and so far nothing. Wouldn't a successful firm have at its finger tips a list of people who would take a reference call"
Never a good sign. Does anyone have a positive funding experience with Greenhills that they are willing to share publicaly"PRIVATE: Members Only

The previous poster is dead on. We went through an initial meeting where Mr. Martinez posed as a VC, and then we got the "term sheet", which was essentially a non-refundable, no recourse consulting deal for them under the guise of "due diligence". Once I was done laughing, I got angry, and then just moved on. Don't bother making calls there or taking calls from there.PRIVATE: Members Only

GreenHills Ventures solicited our company to make the introductions to potential investors. Emanuel Martinez at GreenHills Ventures, LLC requested our company to pay them $15,000 upfront for introductions to potential investors. After they collected the money, they prepared the ugliest power point presentation, I have ever seen. I called them non stop for several months asking them to provide the service that we paid for. In the end of one year period Emanuel Martinez finally set up one presentation. I could tell, it was a setup to get him off the hook. As I expected, that was the end of it. They are very experienced rip off artists. Please do not let this happen to you.PRIVATE: Members Only

Now that you know what snowshoeing can do for you, let's get you started on what you need.
Snowshoeing does not have to cost you a lot of money. There are certain things, however that you will need to enjoy your new sport.
Winter Gear

Carvedilol (Coreg)
What is Carvedilol?
Carvedilol is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers affect the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
Carvedilol is used to treat heart failure and hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also used after a heart attack that has caused your heart not to pump as well.
Carvedilol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
In This Section:
What is the most important information I should know about Carvedilol?
You should not take this medication if you are allergic to carvedilol, or if you have asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, severe liver disease, or a serious heart condition such as heart block, sick sinus syndrome, or slow heart rate (unless you have a pacemaker).
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using carvedilol. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Do not stop taking carvedilol without first talking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse.
Avoid drinking alcohol within 2 hours before or after taking extended-release carvedilol (Coreg CR). Also avoid taking medicines or other products that might contain alcohol. Alcohol may cause the carvedilol in Coreg CR to be released too quickly into the body.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medication even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Carvedilol?
You should not take this medication if you are allergic to carvedilol, or if you have:
- asthma, bronchitis, emphysema

- angina (chest pain)
- low blood pressure
- kidney disease
- liver disease
- a thyroid disorder
- pheochromocytoma (tumor of the adrenal gland)
- circulation problems (such as Raynaud's syndrome); or
- a history of allergies

How should I take Carvedilol?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results.

If you are switched from carvedilol tablets to carvedilol extended-release capsules (Coreg CR), your daily total dose of this medicine may be higher or lower than before. Older adults may be more likely to become dizzy or feel faint when switching from tablets to extended-release capsules. Follow your doctor's instructions.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medication even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
Your blood pressure will need to be checked often. Visit your doctor regularly.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using carvedilol. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.

Carvedilol Reviews
Copyright © 2014 Everyday Health Media, LLC
Carvedilol FAQ
In This Section:
Can carvedilol make you tired, sluggish, and cause weight gain?A: Carvedilol is used to control heart rate and blood pressure, so it is possible to experience fatigue or low blood pressure with this medication. Weight gain was a side effect seen in clinical studies but the amount of weight gain was comparable to the patients who were not given carvedilol. If you are experiencing side effects that affect your daily activities or a sudden weight gain, you should consult with your physician to rule out any other causes. Back to Top
Could my carvedilol be causing the intense ringing in my ears?A: According to the drug manufacturer, tinnitus (ringing in the ear) has a very low incidence. They report the side effect occurring in patients between 0.1 - 1% of the time. Those percentages translate to ringing in the ears happening between 1 out of every 100 patients to 1 out of every 1000 patients. If you believe your tinnitus is related to your medication, consult your prescriber. They may consider changing your therapy; temporarily stopping it to see if your symptoms resolve; or working on finding an alternative cause. Jeff O'Connell, PharmD, RPh Back to Top
Can carvedilol (6.26 mg, twice daily) make blood sugar readings go extremely high? (250-400)A: The prescribing information for carvedilol indicates that it can cause hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in 5-12% of patients. Increased blood sugar monitoring is generally recommended. Contact your health care provider to review your blood sugar readings and make any necessary adjustments to your medications. Do not stop or change the amount of medications without talking to your health care provider first. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse. You may also find helpful information at http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/carvedilol Sarah Lewis, PharmD Back to Top
Is there a substitute for Carvedilol?A: Coreg (carvedilol) (http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/coreg) is an alpha and beta blocker that relaxes blood vessels and slows down the heart. Coreg is used for high blood pressure and heart failure. (http://www.everydayhealth.com/hypertension/understanding.aspx). For more information about an alternative for Coreg (carvedilol), consult wtih your doctor. It is important when your doctor prescribes a new medication, be sure to discuss all your prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs, including dietary supplements, vitamins, botanicals, minerals and herbals, as well as foods you eat. Always keep a current list of the drugs and supplements you take and review it with your health care providers and your pharmacist. If possible, use one pharmacy for all your prescriptions and over-the-counter products. This allows your pharmacist to keep a complete record of all your prescription drugs and advise you about drug interactions and side effects. For more specific information or if you have concerns about the Prozac not working effectively, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action.
