Nearly two weeks after the daring U.S. raid that caught Osama bin Laden by lethal surprise at his compound in Pakistan, it remains unclear how much direct control he had over al-Qaida's operations, according to U.S. officials and terror experts.
That, in turn, has raised questions about the accuracy of the intelligence community's previous assessments of bin Laden as well as uncertainties over how the terror group he founded will evolve now that he is gone.
Based on a vast trove of information removed from the walled-off compound in Abbottabad, including a personal journal, U.S. intelligence officials say that, contrary to previous indications, bin Laden was not merely a figurehead removed from terror planning or someone who had largely lost his grip on al-Qaida. Instead, there were clear signs that he maintained strategic, operational, and tactical control of al-Qaida.
"There were communications from other senior leaders going back to him, asking him for advice and ideas on who to use" for operations, said a U.S. official who is part of a national-security team reviewing the recovered material. Without being specific, the official added: "He needed to approve certain operatives for certain things. Senior leaders needed to come to him for permission to do certain things."
Even so, U.S. officials could not immediately point to evidence that any of the plots bin Laden mulled over in his compound actually became operational. And that raised questions about whether he was planning and directing specific acts of terror that his subordinates were carrying out -- which was loosely the process that led to the 9/11 attacks -- or whether he had become a kind of chairman of the board, several steps removed.
"We don't know yet the degree to which he was operational in the sense of day-to-day control versus operational in the sense of broad strategic oversight of operation," said a former senior intelligence official. "If I were still working there, I would probably say to them, 'Show me the details. What do you mean?' "
Current government officials dispute that earlier intelligence assessments on bin Laden were off the mark.
"CIA analysts have assessed for years that bin Laden was involved in operational planning, timing, and target selection for al-Qaida plots," the U.S. official said. "The CIA also assessed that bin Laden has, throughout the years, focused on different aspects of the group's operations at different times. Although he was physically isolated from the group's foot soldiers, he was able to guide their plotting."
The official said that plots sometimes take years to filter through the planning stage and get carried out, pointing to some of the ideas found in the bin Laden compound for attacking the United States, including targeting trains in cities such as New York, Washington and Chicago. "Just because we haven't seen them attack trains doesn't mean that they didn't intend to do so. We do know that al-Qaida has been focused on attacking the U.S. homeland," and that's what bin Laden wanted.
For years, government officials have mostly hedged in discussing bin Laden and his relationship to the core of al-Qaida. Before he was caught in Abbottabad, his trail had gone largely cold. One the one hand, they said the group remained dangerous and aspired to carry out spectacular attacks. Officials also said splinter groups such as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula posed the biggest threat to U.S. interests.
But the larger narrative painted for the public in recent years was that the group bin Laden led was under enormous pressure and its powers were diminished. Many intelligence officials also pushed the idea that al-Qaida had become much more decentralized, relying on freelance radicals who communicated via the Internet, among them Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical cleric believed to be in Yemen. U.S. intelligence officials had also suggested previously that bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al Zawahiri, was mostly in control of operations.
All of which raises a number of important questions: Is the intelligence community still trying to promote different narratives? Were U.S. intelligence assessments about the terrorist leader off target? What kind of control did bin Laden actually have?
Speaking at the Atlantic Council in November 2008, former CIA Director Michael Hayden said bin Laden was believed to be isolated. "He is putting a lot of energy into his own survival, a lot of energy into his own security. In fact, he appears to be largely isolated from the day-to-day operations of the organization he nominally heads," according to a transcript of the speech on the Atlantic Council's website.
Hayden told National Journal he stands by his comments. He said intelligence officials at the time questioned whether bin Laden could really have operational and tactical control over al-Qaida.
"We were very confident, turns out to have been very true, he didn't have electronic communications. And the courier network was … not so robust that it would seem to truly offer him tight tactical control," Hayden said. "This raises some interesting questions. What do they mean by 'more robust operational control,' particularly since he was doing this through periodic couriers?"
Michael Hirsh contributed contributed to this article.

Engineered Hardwood frame construction allows for greater durability and strength. Mortise and tenon joints have replaced traditional dowel construction used in frame construction. The mortise (hole or slot) is cut into one member and the tenon or tongue from the adjoining piece fits tightly so that, when glued, these joints act as if the wood has grown together. This method of interlocking joinery provides greater stability with fewer joints. Frames are constructed of 7-ply engineered hardwood panels for increased strength and durability. Frames are glued and stapled.
Heavy gauge coil spring unit coils are linked together and attached to a heavy gauge border wire for consistency and longevity. Individualized coil seating units function independently of the other providing individual seating comfort for even support and weight distribution. Each spring is oven tempered to provide greater strength and durability.
The comfort soft seat cushion is designed and constructed to achieve a softer and supportive feel. A dense polyurethane foam core is laminated both top and bottom with a layer of soft foam and wrapped with polyester fiber to provide a comfortable seat and is encased in a non-woven ticking.
Loose back pillows are filled with a generous amount of polyester fiber. Non-woven ticking allows air to escape during use. The pillows are constructed with horizontal channels sewn in which minimizes shifting and settling.
Additional Options for this Upholstery product available in our Design Centers

I have knocked down my share of boxes in the past.
Now that I am a home owner I have lost a few, I dont b@#$ch to much.
Pay back I recen.
My brother picked on one for a few weekends, kept pulling it up with a truck.
Left it alone for a few weeks, went to pull it up one night.
The owner had dug a hole 3' x 3' drove in "T" fence posts (5 or 6) and filled the hole with concrete. Well the owner never out one back up after it got pulled.
Wonder why we aint jail?
Any way, I would not mess with one now.Be safe

I share your problems
I to have had problems with Mail box destruction. I lived in my house for eight years before my mail box was destroyed. Now it is maid all out of 3/16" steel The box lasted for 4 years until one day the hinges on one side was destroyed. I just brought it to the shop and reworked the hinges and put it out for more fun. I like your box and hop it makes it.

Great Mailbox!
Great Job, MTB!
A suggestion: form the reflective tape to show your house number. That'll help out first time visitors at night.
For people like Jeff and the .30cal bandits, a claymore tripwired to the post and some reactive tank armor would be good
I had mailbox problems too. You can't see my house from the road and my road curves perfectly for a car to line up. I got so mad I built a 3/8" plate mailbox and got a 6" diameter pipe to hold it. Sadly I never put it up because, living in Massachusetts, I would just end up in court when the "poor youth with a promising future" got ripped out of his moving car when he tried to take it out with a bat.Miller Econotig

Promising futureI would just end up in court when the "poor youth with a promising future" got ripped out of his moving car when he tried to take it out with a bat.
...The Rest Of The Story
Well, this post continues to have interest, so let me kick it one more time by telling the rest of the story (first, my humble apologies to any postal employee that this may offend - I love our mail carrier, he's a great guy):
I began this project like any good citizen would, by collecting the facts from the folks who would use the mail box the most, the Post Office. I visited our local office to ask them whether they had any standard designs, recommendations or other references. A bad idea. The first problem was simply getting inside someone's office to actually talk to a human. Apparently the Post Offices are a bit paranoid about folks going "postal"... After this experience I can see why.
The first person I talked to said it "was not her job" (I've come to find out that these are the first four words that begin any sentence uttered by a postal clerk). She then sent me to another Post Office. But, before I left she told me that what ever I was making was not going to work because the only mailboxes they would service had to be approved by the United States Post Office. Oky Dokey... off I go to the next bureaucratic...
So, I go to the next Post Office and after passing the Homeland Security screening (just short of a full cavity search) and after entering a bullet proof combination locked door, I finally sat down in front of the Post "Master". I figgered I'd gotten to the person who knew just about everyting. I told her why I was there and the first words she said: this "was not her job". We then talked about mailbox design. She pulled out some wrinkled forms that showed the precise height, offset from the road and a bunch of other irrelevant details. The more questions I asked, the more shrill her voice became.
Finally, we got around to the real issue. These folks don't like anyone putting a mail box on a post that can't be easily knocked over by a mail delivery car going 2 MPH. When I told her I was going to use a 4" steel pipe driven 5 feet into the ground, she went nuts, telling me that if her mail delivery guy hit the post it might kill him. I asked her if most of their mail carriers delivered mail while intoxicated. Wrong comment. At that point I was thinking of going postal, but simply told her that it sounded like a great way to clean out the gene pool - and, while she was sputter'in, I got up an left. At that point I decided to do what ever the **** I wanted to do - which, after thinking about these events - is what I should have done to start with.
There are lots of lessons learned from this experience and I'm sure you'all have your share to tell as well.MTBob

That's a great story Bob. It sounds like you had some fun with the build. There was a story about mailboxes and kids with bats on CSI last season. Kid gets killed and mailbox owner tries to hide it. I hope you'res don't get tested, cause at 20 mph and a swinging bat even with swivel I don't think that box is going to give.. I never understood what fun destroying others property would be.
Thanks for the great story.

Goals: Ulysses primary science target was our Sun, but the solar orbiter's unique orbit and long lifespan produced three unexpected encounters with comet tails and a chance for bonus science.
Accomplishments: The spacecraft's May 1996 encounter with comet Hyakutake revealed comet tails are far longer than expected. The tail extended half a billion kilometers (more than 300 million miles) - more than three times the distance from the Earth to the Sun. The discovery marked the longest comet tail - streams of ions, gas and dust extending away from the Sun - recorded at the time.

It's important to remember that unusual healing practices may not provide any physiological benefit, and also that, because humans are very strange creatures indeed, a treatment needn't offer any scientifically measurable benefit. (If you're really sick, though, please go to the hospital.) With that in mind, here's a primer to some of the most common "alternative" healing practices in Portland, with analysis informed by the excellent research of Dr. Edzard Ernst, author of the Oxford Handbook of Alternative Medicine.
What it is: The practice of pricking the skin with needles to treat physical and mental ailments by manipulating the flow of "chi," or life force.
What it costs: Based on a quick review of the Internet, anywhere from $15-$35 per treatment at Working Class Acupuncture to $95 per session at PDX Acupuncture.
Does it work? Maybe. With the exceptions of pain and nausea, acupuncture has not yet been shown to be more effective than sham acupuncture (performed randomly, without regard to tradition) in any large, reputable study. That said, even if both acupuncture and sham acupuncture merely produce a placebo effect, they do so very effectively. So long as you don't run to your acupuncturist for chest pain, you should be fine.
Chiropractic Therapy
What it is: The manipulation of the spine to treat back and neck pain, and sometimes other disorders.
What it costs: Around $50-$100 per treatment.
Does it work? Yes! For back and neck pain, chiropractic treatments are as effective as any other tools in the modern medical arsenal. But like most medical practice, chiropractic care has its roots in some very strange ideas, some of which are still subscribed to by a minority of practitioners. If your chiropractor offers to cure your eczema, they're probably crazy.
Colonic Irrigation
What it is: The use of enemas to "cleanse" the body, usually of unspecified "toxins."
What it costs: $65 per treatment at Oasis Colonics, which also offers discounted packages of up to 12 enemas.
Does it work? Enemas have important medical uses, but they cannot "detoxify" the body. Barring serious organ failure, you are not being poisoned by the contents of your colon. If you must worry about pollutants in your environment, worry about your lungs and liver.
Craniosacral Therapy
What it is: The very gentle manipulation of the skull and the base of the spine to aid the proper movement of spinal fluid to treat conditions such as headaches, vertigo and learning disabilities.
What it costs: $70 for an hour of treatment by Dana Buhl, LMT.
Does it work? While the treatment is undoubtedly very relaxing, the little existing research on craniosacral manipulation failed to demonstrate any lasting therapeutic effect.
What it is: The treatment of pain through the application of heated cups to the skin that create suction.
What it costs: $65 at Exodus Spa & Salon.
Does it work? The only controlled study of cupping found the treatment had no effect on pain, but it does seem to generate an above-average placebo response. The treatments can leave round bruises.
Ear Candling
What it is: The insertion of hollow candles into the ear that, when lit, supposedly draw ear wax and "toxins" out of the body to treat various nose and throat ailments.
What it costs: $10-$20 at Exodus Spa & Salon.
Does it work? A 1996 study in Spokane found the candles removed no ear wax, and in fact left candle wax deposits in the ears of patients. In short, you're better off not sticking anything in there.
Herbal Medicine
What it is: The use of plants and plant extracts to treat ailments of all sorts.
What it costs: Varies.
Does it work? Yes, frequently. Much of our modern pharmacopeia is derived from plants to begin with—the English word "drug" comes from the Swedish druug, meaning "dried plant"—and many frequently prescribed herbal medicines, such as garlic for high cholesterol and cranberry for urinary-tract infections—have been proven to be very effective by rigorous studies. But be sure to buy treatments from a reputable source—some imported herbal supplements are contaminated with heavy metals—and keep in mind that herbal medications can have as many unpleasant side effects as anything from Pfizer.
What it is: The fanciful idea that disease can be treated by administering minute amounts of a substance that would in large amounts produce similar symptoms, diluted in water.
What it costs: Too much. Prices vary wildly, but in all cases you're just being sold water. Sometimes the water has a few molecules of some mineral, but so does the water that comes out of your tap.
Does it work? Hell, no. Not a single reputable study has found homeopathic magic water to be more effective than plain old water. But you shouldn't need science to convince you—the principles of homeopathy are patently absurd.
What it is: The use of hypnosis to treat a wide variety of ailments such as chronic pain and anxiety.
What it costs: $105 per session at Glancy Hypnosis; $160 per session from Geoffrey JN Knight.
Does it work? Depending on one's level of suggestibility, hypnosis has been shown to be very effective in treating anxiety, pain and hypertension, but its usefulness for quitting smoking is still disputed. Unless you're mentally ill, it couldn't hurt.
Massage Therapy
What it is: You know, massage. They rub your muscles.
What it costs: Anywhere from $55 per hour at Papillon Massage to $145 per hour at Aequis.
Does it work? Yes, especially for back pain, anxiety and depression and constipation. And it feels awesome. Few studies have been performed on specialized massage techniques such as shiatsu and reflexology, so think twice before paying extra. The normal kind should do.
What it is: Buddhist faith healing through the laying on of hands to transmit healing energies.
How much it costs: $45 per hour at Susan's Reiki for Life; $60 per hour at Awakenings Wellness Center.
Does it work? Of course not—or at least not more so than any other sort of faith healing. Being touched to the sound of singing bowls is nice, but you can probably find someone to do it for less than a buck a minute, even if they might not have a tiny rock garden or miniature waterfall.
GET IT CHEAP!Acupuncture:
Oregon College of Oriental Medicine offers $25 treatments at its Intern Teaching Clinic at 10541 SE Cherry Blossom Drive. See ocom.edu for details. The five Portland members of the Community Acupuncture Network (pocacoop.com) offer treatments for as little as $15.
Chiropractic Care:
University of Western States (uws.edu) operates a clinic at 221 W Burnside St. that provides free or low-cost care to uninsured and underinsured patients.
There are several massage schools in the Portland area. The largest, Oregon School of Massage (oregonschoolofmassage.com), offers $45, one-hour massages on its campus at 9500 SW Barbur Blvd. East West College (eastwestcollege.com) offers $25, 45-minute massages from its students at 525 NE Oregon St. Thai massage school The Naga Center (thaimassageinportland.com) offers $45, one-hour massages at 4423 NE Fremont St.

Here is a rotoworld post. LOL, where can I find the an application for the job?
http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/n...-job-away?rw=1Jet's can't even give the GM job away
Appearing on FOX NFL Sunday, Jay Glazer said the Jets "can't give the position away" when talking about their general manager vacancy.
"They're calling back candidates who already turned them down," added Glazer. "Their cap situation, personnel, QB and the circus turned a lot of candidates off." One of those candidates could be 49ers director of player personnel Tom Gamble, who was once considered the odds-on-favorite for the job but may have spurned the Jets. ESPN's Adam Schefter mentioned earlier on Sunday that ex-Bears GM Jerry Angelo is a "name to watch."

What criteria is used to select an Ubuntu release codename, and who is ultimately responsible for the decision?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free.
The Ubuntu Wiki has lots of information about the naming system at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames. According to Mark Shuttleworth, the "Adjective Animal" system started as a joke and stuck. It's Mark that announces the new names, usually on his blog at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/

And besides the great taste they add to your recipe, they are really a very healthy menu item.
Did you know:
- and this one I really like the idea of... they can boost metabolism making weight loss easier and quicker!
Step 1: Let's get to chopping
Slice off the stem end of the jalapeño, unless your recipe says to use it for presentation purposes (in which case you wouldn't be chopping it up to begin with so none of thin information would apply).
Place it on a firm surface and insert the knife into the middle. Pull the knife through the end so you have halved the jalapeño.
See those seeds and membranes? That is where the heat is, mixed up all along that center vein. You can determine how much or how little heat you want to add to your recipe by how much of this you remove.
I always remove the seeds, they aren't the main supplier of the heat. But you can decide how much of the center membrane to leave in when you chop it to determine the heat factor.
(w/ref other places I won't mention, a little can be nicely-warm)
And I have never had a bad reaction or even seen one, but I have no doubt it does happen, and probably with some frequency.
I have always "assumed" that through some chemical reaction the capsaicin in the peppers was neutralized by the bleach. Of course assuming is NEVER a good idea, and I really don't like just making an assumption about it, but I have never found any research to explain why the capsaicin stops burning after exposure to the bleach.

Each spring semester, student leaders of the current year work together with department Faculty and Staff to choose new leaders for the following year. These positions range from Executive Director of a club to Marketing and Front of House positions, as well as many others. Each of these positions are key opportunities for students to gain practical experience while participating in club and department activities and events. Clubs and Organizations THE BOOT AND BUSKIN THEATRE CLUB Boot and Buskin is the oldest theatre group on campus. Founded in 1949, Boot and Buskin has been the primary vehicle for student theatrical activity for over sixty years. Boot and Buskin productions are faculty directed and professionally designed. Participation is open to all students, regardless of their major or minor. There are three main stage productions each term. A student staff of 10-12 provides management and technical support to these shows as well as for other events in the performing arts center. MAJOR ARCANA Students who were interested in producing their own theatrical season founded Major Arcana in 1984 and the group has been flourishing ever since. All Major Arcana productions are directed and designed by students from a variety of majors. Typically they produce two or three shows per semester as well as sponsoring an assortment of other creative events and workshops. From student-authored works to contemporary classics, pretty much all genres get represented here, with a tilt towards the comic and modern. THE LE MOYNE STUDENT DANCE COMPANY Students seeking on-campus opportunities in dance and performance organized the Le Moyne Student Dance Company in 1995. The group presents a main stage concert at the end of each semester representing styles from tap, jazz, to ballet, to modern with pieces choreographed by students and local dance instructors. Participation is open to students in all majors following auditions. DOLPHIN STEPPERS The Dolphin Steppers use various creative mediums, including step routines, to help bring about a greater understanding and appreciation for diversity on campus and the surrounding community.

What's the "must" read books you recommend?
Recently we took our vacation and I'm heading to equip my time with reading so I'm now wondering which book to read in this 3 weeks vacation.
Thanks for advance.
Saima N
Jan 18 2013: If you are going on vacation, enjoy the sites and gather experiences the place has to offer....Then maybe you'll be able to write your own book!
- +1
Jan 18 2013: Thank you for the note Saima, but actually I'm into writing an article that might be published in my college magazine.Jan 24 2013: 13 and 1/2 Lives of Captain Blue Bear by Walter MoersJan 22 2013: read quran, words of god the last revelation,Jan 22 2013: The Complete C S Lewis Signature Classics
Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
The First Epistle of John (The Bible)
Man of The People by Chinua AchebeJan 21 2013: Dostoiévski's Crime and PunishmentJan 21 2013: The Master and his Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World- By Iain MnGilchristJan 21 2013: It really depends on the amount of time you plan to devote to reading during those 3 weeks.
The Giver by Lois Lowry is good for roughly a solid day of reading. A fiction book about a future dystopian society and the life of a child growing up to realize what has been lost by people.
While considered a children's book, I always found the ideas rather adult which inspire introspective thought.Jan 21 2013: A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking
Cosmos - Carl SaganJan 18 2013: I found my life changed by a book called Maasai Days, a nonfiction book about a tribe in Africa that only lives on milk and beef.Jan 18 2013: ray bradbury - fahrenheit 451
written in 1953, still actual and fresh today
p.s.: just now realized that for a vacation, this might be not as ideal as it first seemed
Jan 18 2013: You might want to go to a site like..........librarythings.com and look around at what people say about the books you are considering to read.
- 0
I also recommend to not just take one kind of book.
I usually take several genres along on any trip............a brainteaser book to help my mind, a magazine or fiction book, to entertain myself, and some spiritually upbuilding book or magazine to feed the soul. And if I vacation in an unknown place, I take along a travel book to guide me.Jan 18 2013: The Grapes of Wrath The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Collected Malthus Steps to an Ecologyof the Mind The Conquest of Mexico and Peru Science and Sanity The Teaching Company Tapes on Egypt by Bob Brier
Okay that's a bit much and one isn't a book Okay and just to skim -The Portable JungJan 18 2013: This depends on how old you are and your interests.
My fourteen year old son on his last vacation worked on Hawkings' The Brief History of Time. My eldest daughter's favorite book was called There Once Was a World. My younger daughter is an academic quantum physicist and mainly likes to read in her field.
An interesting recent book I read last year is Clay Shirky's Here Comes Everybody.
If you are an aspiring artist, Steven Pressfield's War of Art and Turning Pro are short, possibly inspiring reads. Creativity, by Mihalyi Czikzentmihalyi is also interesting.
I like almost anything by neuroscientist Oliver Sachs. Similarly almost anything by Steven Pinker. And you can't go wrong with Tolstoy short novels. Or compendia of personal essays by the great writers of the personal essay.Jan 17 2013: The Art of War - Sun Tzu
Barbarians - Terry Jones
Both these books can change your views on many economic and social issues.
Jan 18 2013: there is a book too? i saw the barbarians tv series, very good indeed
Jan 19 2013: I never saw the tv series, what kind of graphics did they use for that?

The ASPCA is assisting in the forensic evidence collection, removal, transport and sheltering of more than 60 fighting roosters from a property in Spencer, Indiana. Other animals including dogs and farm animals were also seized from the property. We're assisting at the request of the Indiana Gaming Commission, the Gaming Control Division and the Monroe County Humane Association.
At the property this morning, responders discovered rooster remains and roosters showing signs of starvation and other conditions requiring medical attention. The roosters were housed in outdoor pens or tethered outside with no access to water.
The animals were transferred to a temporary shelter where they will receive veterinary care from the ASPCA's medical team. ASPCA veterinary technicians, animal handlers and responders are also assisting on the scene and at the temporary shelter.
A search warrant, issued by Owen County Circuit Court, was executed Wednesday morning for the removal of the birds, as was an arrest warrant for Jeffrey Russell Pierce, 26. Pierce was arrested on charges of possession of fighting animals, promoting an animal fighting contest and possession of animal fighting paraphernalia.
In Indiana, cockfighting and the possession of birds for fighting are Class D felonies, each punishable by up to three years in a state prison and a maximum $10,000 fine. Possession of implements is a Class B misdemeanor with up to 180 days in a state jail and a maximum $1,000 fine.
The ASPCA is also assisting the Indiana Gaming Control Division in documenting animal related evidence for the criminal case and lending the services of its Field Investigations and Response and Veterinary Forensics teams. The Indiana State Police, the Indiana Board of Animal Health and the Owen County Prosecutor are also assisting in the operation.
"Cockfighting is a brutal blood sport where the unwilling participants—the roosters—are forced to fight, often to the death, for the entertainment and financial gain of their owners," says Terry Mills, Director of Blood Sports for the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response team. "The ASPCA is proud to lend our expertise in animal fighting and forensic evidence collection to local authorities to help put an end to this disturbing activity and secure justice for the animal victims."
If you know of animal fighting or other cruelty in your area, please report it.

Christine Buonefet was always pretty good at picking up the clues and hints that crafty authors drop along the way. But in 2002 she found her concentration slipping. "I kept having to go back and re-read chapters over and over to get what was happening," she recalls.
Her husband, Ralph, and daughter, Linda, began noticing other disturbing things. "She wasn't eating very well," Ralph says. "Plus, she was just grumpy," he confides in an aside. "Oh, don't hold back, let it all out," Christine laughs.
Changes were becoming apparent in other ways as well. At the Baldwin Senior Center in Stratford, where Christine has been a long-time volunteer, Social Services Coordinator Beth Paris noticed that "Christine was forgetting to complete assignments, and—even more worrisome—she seemed kind of down." With Christine's permission, Beth contacted Linda, recommending that the family seek help from Bridgeport Hospital's Center for Geriatrics in order to get to the bottom of the mystery: What was going on with Christine?
At the Center, the first step for Christine was a geriatric assessment by a team of "detectives" including a geriatrician (a physician specializing in the medical care of older adults), a geriatric nurse practitioner and a geriatric nurse.
What's So Special About a Geriatric Assessment?
"This specially tailored assessment is designed to determine the total physical, emotional and mental well-being of older adults who are affected by the conditions that can arise as we age," says Beata Skudlarska, MD, Chief of Geriatrics at Bridgeport Hospital.
Christine's geriatric assessment involved gathering clues about her life to help solve the mystery of her disappearing memory. And like all good detectives, the team at the Center for Geriatrics began with basic research.
"We always start with a physical examination, and by asking about the patient's personal and family medical history," says Christine Tocchi, APRN, MSN, C-GNP (Certified Geriatric Nurse Practitioner). "We want to know if anyone in the family suffered from depression, heart disease, diabetes or other conditions that can affect physical and mental health."
Then there are tests and screenings that can help evaluate the patient's lifestyle. "To learn about patients' nutritional health, for example, we'll not only ask what kinds of foods they normally eat—we'll also ask if they have an illness or condition that made them change the kind or amount of food they eat, or if they usually eat alone. Information like that often tells us a lot about the patient's situation," says geriatrician Vivian Argento, MD.
The physical evidence is usually pretty straightforward. But how do you evaluate someone's emotional and mental condition? What kinds of questions can reveal something that's so elusive? Experts in the field of Geriatrics have created screening tools that can give them a pretty good idea of what's going on in an older person's mind.
Here are a few of the many questions asked:
A separate questionnaire for family members can detect problems and solutions that they are uniquely able to identify. And finally, a review of all the patient's overthe-counter and prescription drugs and supplements is always a part of the hunt for clues.
When the team reviewed the results of Christine's assessment, they came up with the solution to the mystery of her disappearing memory: She was seriously depressed. "And I didn't even know it!" Christine exclaims.
Dr. Skudlarska prescribed two medications: one an antidepressant and the other designed to improve memory function. Little by little, Christine returned to her old self, outwitting mystery authors and working on crossword puzzles. Her appetite returned, and so did her sense of humor.
"I go back and take the geriatric tests again every three months, and every time my scores go up," Christine says. "Now I just feel good!
"If you're getting older, and you're not feeling right, you don't have to put up with it, she adds." "The geriatric assessment team at Bridgeport Hospital figured out what was wrong with me, and they can help you too!"

For years, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recognized August as National Water Quality Month, a time for us all to think about both the positive and negative impact we have on this resource.
We love the occasion, for obvious reasons, but oftentimes can find ourselves overwhelmed with seemingly endless ideas for how we can make and encourage positive change. In fact, this post comes at the midway point of the month, as it took just that long to whittle down our original list of 1,000 to a more manageable list of the five items below.
With that, here are five ways you can more effectively use water during the back half of National Water Quality Month:
1. Find & Fix Even The Smallest Leaks
If there has ever been a home immune to leaks, drips, and drops – we have yet to see it. And while the leaks may be small, as little as one drip per minute, from one faucet per day, can waste away more than 100 gallons yearly. To see how quickly this can get out of hand when multiplied by multiple homes, faucets and drips – check out this calculator from the US Geological Survey (USGS.) If we all commit to fixing those tiny leaks in our individual homes, our world as a whole will be in much better shape.
2. Order All The Replacement Air & Fridge Filters You'll Need In One Fell Swoop
In September, the kids head back to school. October we spend winterizing our yard and home. November and December, of course, are a holiday blur. This makes August the perfect time to buy those air filters and fridge filters you'll need to carry you through the balance of the year. Get it done now and you won't need to think about reordering again until we hit 2015!
3. Nominate Someone Close For The Ice Bucket Challenge…With One Caveat
Will the ice bucket challenge ever stop? Probably. But certainly not by the end of National Water Quality Month. While gimmicky, this challenge – launched in support of the ALS Foundation – is also an example of a viral charitable campaign that has unequivocally worked. Through today, this challenge has raised more than $41 million for ALS research, with no signs of stopping. So while the getting's good, nominate someone close to you, but include one caveat. In addition to accepting the challenge of being covered in freezing cold water, make the nominee share one hot tip for conserving an equal amount of water. A tip, like, fixing a leaky faucet.
4. Keep A Water Bottle Close By…No Matter What…
Whatever you do this month, whether it's enjoying the final few summer nights, heading out for that one final summer road trip, or even taking promotional photos for that British costume drama from the early 1900s that you're starring in, always have that bottle of water close-by.
5…But Always Strive For The Most Eco-Friendly Option
We love both pictures of the Downton Abbey cast, including the oopsies with the water bottle to the left and the self-deprecating version below where the cast had a bit of fun while driving awareness for WaterAid UK. But if we could offer just one suggestion, it would be to replace those plastic water bottles with more eco-friendly versions, including those found at our online store. Not only will eco-friendly water bottles pay for themselves almost instantly, they'll help to reduce the risk of spent plastic bottles winding up in oceans and landfills!
What ideas do you have for wising up water usage during the back half of National Water Quality Month? I invite you to share via a comment below.
I also invite you to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter or +1 us on Google+ to stay up to date on our latest ideas for improving water quality, in addition to being among the first to see our fridge filter sales and discounts!

Finntroll is a folk metal band from Helsinki, Finland. They combine elements of black metal and folk metal. Finntroll's lyrics are mostly in Swedish, the only exception being the song "Madon Laulu" on Visor Om Slutet. Finntroll's first singer Katla decided to use Swedish over Finnish since he was part of a Swedish-speaking minority in Finland and the sound of the language seemed to better suit the band's "trollish" outfit. Despite several vocalist changes, this tradition has since been continued. According to bandmembers Vreth and Skrymer, they took their name from an old Finnish legend where Swedish priests coming to Finland had an encounter with a wild-looking man who killed most of their party. The survivors came back bearing the tale of the Finn-Troll. Finntroll's lyrics mainly deal with legends and tales revolving around the fictional Troll-King "Rivfader" and the trolls fighting against the Christians who entered their lands and spread their beliefs. A recurring theme is the story of two priests named "Aamund" and "Kettil". The first three full length albums feature a rather short but fierce song about the two men who constantly get themselves into trouble with the trolls, only to get beaten up and mutilated over and over again by the wrathful followers of Rivfader.

Regardless of pretty much anything - IN YOUR OPINION, what direction is MOST important (VITAL) to the success of the Miami Dolphins next year?
IMO, it's WR hands down.
Wide Receiver
Running Back
Regardless of pretty much anything - IN YOUR OPINION, what direction is MOST important (VITAL) to the success of the Miami Dolphins next year?
IMO, it's WR hands down.
2015 Goals:
1) Win the next game.
2) See goal #1
"The problem with internet quotes lies in verifying their authenticity."
-Abraham Lincoln
Im torn here Bump. I want to agree with you and say WR, but I also think we need another beast of a pass rusher to go with Wake.
Crush your enemies...see them driven before you...and hear the lamentation of the women.
Ricky Williams: the greatest back in Miami Dolphins history
We can certainly use talent in just about all those spots, but the WR corps is so bare, I can't really see the case for anything else. Sure, we could use a seam threat TE, but Fasano is a better TE than anyone on our WR corps except Hartline and possibly Bess. We need a 2nd pass rusher for sure, but our sack total shows that it's not absolutely critical right now. WR talent is so thin that it's almost like asking a LT to block Julius Peppers with only one arm ... oh, wait, sorry.
Way too many holes to think one player at a specific position will make much of a difference. we need 3 or 4 really good players at WR, CB, TE, DE, and OL in that order. We also need to be thinking about upgrading line backer as that will be a big hole next offseason. Upgrades would be nice at RB and safety too. Other than that we're in pretty good shape....
Get us a dependable kicker and we're 9-7 last year...minimum.
Wideout is the only answer. Not a single one of our WRs has a unique skill set, no defender fears them, and our 3rd most productive receiver had eleven catches. That is beyond unacceptable.
Wideout; this team is only going to go as far next year (and all subsequent years) as Ryan Tannehill will take us. And in order for him to even have the opportunity to succeed, he has to actually have some competent pieces around him, most notably, Wide Receivers who can create separation and get into the painted grass.
Define "success". Going to the superbowl? Entering the playoffs? Having a winning season? Tannehill showing further growth?
I believe the biggest hole on our team is pass rusher. The days of getting by with only 1 are done. See whats happened to the Packers in the playoffs the last 2 years. As well, good pass rushers are a rarity in free agency, mostly its flawed or old players that end up hitting it. Granted, a Peppers or Mario Williams will sometimes end up there, but its usually due to odd circumstances.
All that said, i voted wideout. With our schedule i dont see us making the playoffs. I wouldnt hate a winning season and continued growth from Tannehill. A playmaker at wideout would do wonders for our 2nd year quarterback. And we have proven to have a stout defense(though not dominate) without a second pass rusher. In that light, wideout is the most important piece to achieving success next season.
By the way, who was the joker who voted for offensive lineman? You on here Ireland?!?!?!?

If beef steak needs to sit outside the refrigerator before cooking, should the same thing be done for tuna steaks too?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The same logic applies. The smaller the temperature difference between uncooked and cooked, the easier it will be to get an even amount of cooking all the way through. Especially with a fast method of cooking like broiling.
I think you have slightly more latitude with cold tuna, particularly because my favorite way to grill tuna is ahi style, nice and rare in the center. This requires a very good and properly handled piece of fish, but since the main problem with un-warmed proteins (pre-grilling) is that the center does come up to temperature evenly, it might be ideal if that's what you're going for.

I'm really curious to discover some new unusual snacks.
I'll start out with one that i recently rediscovered:
Joray's fruit rolls:
We used to eat these as kids and as much as i've searched i've never found another brand that was edible compared to these; made in brooklyn, super thinly rolled, with plenty of artificial colors and flavors. They may not be organic but they are far superior to the competition.
