The Night Display feature automatically brightens the LCD monitor to suit the brightness of the subject, making it easier to frame the subject in dark conditions. Image Sensor/Processor: The camera is equipped with a 1/2.3" CMOS image sensor with 16.8-million total pixels, and 10.1-million effective pixels. Together, the 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and the DIGIC 5 processor make up the Canon HS System, which delivers clear, blur-free shots indoors or in low light up to ISO 3200. Optics: The ELPH 520 HS has a 12x optical zoom lens with a 4.0-48mm focal length (35mm equivalent is 28-336mm). Zoom: In addition to the 12x optical zoom, the camera features a 4x digital zoom. When used in combination, the total zoom is approximately 48x. The focal length when using the optical zoom and digital zoom together is approximately 28-1344mm. Digital Teleconverter: The focal length of the lens can be increased by an equivalent of 1.4x or 2.3x through the use of the Digital Teleconverter. The equivalent focal lengths of the lens (35mm equivalent) are 39.2-470mm when using the 1.4x digital teleconverter, and 64.4-773mm with the 2.3x teleconverter. The digital zoom and digital teleconverter cannot be used simultaneously. Recording Media: The camera records still images or moving images with stereo audio on microSD Memory Cards (2GB or less), microSDHC Memory Cards (4GB to 32GB), and microSDXC Memory Cards (32GB and higher). The camera does not have internal memory, nor does it include a microSD card, so you will be required to obtain a memory card before recording. Still Image Resolution/Compression: The ELPH 520 HS can record still images in JPEG format in 4 different sizes (Large, Medium 1, Medium 2, and Small) and 4 aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 3:2, and 1:1). For each resolution, you can set the compression to SuperFine or Fine. You can choose from the following resolutions: 4:3 16:9 3:2 1:1 Large 3648 x 2736 3648 x 2048 3648 x 2432 2736 x 2736 Medium 1 2816 x 2112 2816 x 1584 2816 x 1880 2112 x 2112 Medium 2 1600 x 1200 1920 x 1080 1600 x 1064 1200 x 1200 Small 640 x 480 640 x 360 640 x 424 480 x 480 Movies: Movies can be recorded in MOV format (Image data: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, Audio data: Linear PCM 2 channel stereo) in High Definition at 1920 x 1080 (24 fps) and 1280 x 720 (30 fps). You can also shoot in Standard Definition at 640 x 480 pixels (30 fps). Recording will automatically stop when either the clip file size reaches 4 GB or the recording time reaches approximately 30 minutes. Other movie options include iFrame Movie, Movie Digest, Miniature Effect, and Super Slow Motion Movie. Image Stabilization: The ELPH 520 HS is equipped with optical (lens-shift type) image stabilization. To correct the effects of camera shake, you can choose from the following Image Stabilization settings: Continuous: always applied for still images Panning: for still images when panning Hybrid IS: for Macro shots Dynamic IS: for movies, reducing strong camera shake as when shooting when walking Powered IS: for movies, for subtle camera shake, such as when shooting movies at telephoto None: no image stabilization Face Detection Technology: The camera's Face Detection Technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you're ready to shoot, then delivers perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash, and white balance are compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and backgrounds are properly exposed. Smart Shutter automatically shoots a picture after detecting a smile, even without pressing the shutter release button. Auto Focus Lock: If it becomes difficult to focus on the subject due to low contrast to the surroundings, close up and far away subjects in the same shot, or quickly moving subjects, you can choose to lock the focus or auto focus on an object at a similar distance, then shoot the picture after recomposing the shot. Focusing Range: The camera features the following focus ranges (from the end of the lens): Auto: 0.4" to infinity (W), 3.3' to infinity (T) Normal: 2" to infinity (W), 3.3' to infinity (T) Macro: 0.4" to 1.6' (wide) Infinity: 9.8' to infinity (W/T) Shooting Modes: Using the two-way switch on the top of the camera, you can select between the Smart Auto mode and other shooting modes. In the Smart Auto mode, the camera will automatically select the best settings for the scene, detect and focus on faces, and set the color and brightness to optimal levels. Other shooting modes to choose from include: Program, Movie Digest, Portrait, Smooth Skin, Smart Shutter, High-Speed Burst, Handheld Night Scene, Low Light, Fish-Eye Effect, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Soft Focus, Monochrome, Super Vivid, Poster Effect, Color Accent, Color Swap, Underwater, Snow, Fireworks, Long Shutter, Stitch Assist, iFrame movie, and Super Slow Motion Movie. Continuous Shooting: In the Continuous Shooting mode, the camera will take pictures at approximately 2.8 frames per second, as long as you hold down the shutter button. The image size is not limited, and the focus and exposure are determined when you press the shutter button halfway. Continuous Shooting AF will focus for each frame. Continuous Shooting LV mode fixes the focus at the position determined in AF Lock. The High-Speed Burst mode lets you shoot a series of shots in rapid succession (about 6.8 fps) by holding the shutter button down fully. The resolution is fixed to 1824 x 1368, and the focus, image brightness, and color are determined by the first shot. Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes: Evaluative: used for standard conditions. The area within the frame is divided into several zones and light is measured based on subject position, brightness, direct light and backlighting. Center-Weighted Averaging: averages the exposure from the entire image, but places more weight on the subject at the center Spot: meters the area within the spot AE point at the center of the LCD monitor or viewfinder Exposure Compensation: If you are shooting against a bright background or strong backlight, you may need to correct the exposure so that the subject doesn't come out too dark. You can set the adjustments from -2 to +2 in 1/3-step increments. Locking the Exposure Setting (AE Lock): You can set the focus and exposure separately to shoot. When the exposure is set, you can lock the setting, then compose the scene and shoot. This is effective when the contrast is too strong between the subject and background, or when a subject is backlit. Flash Exposure Lock (FE Lock), just as with the AE lock, lets you lock the exposure for shooting with the flash. White Balance: You can choose from the following white balance settings: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, and Custom. Flash Modes: The PowerShot ELPH 520 HS has a built-in flash with a range of 1.6' to 8.2' in Wide Angle and 3.3' to 4.9' in Telephoto. You can select Auto (flash fires in low light), On (flash always fires), Slow Synchro (illuminates subject in foreground while the slow shutter speed brightens the background not reached by the flash), or Off (flash doesn't fire). In the menu, you can turn on the Red-Eye Reduction lamp for the flash, and apply Red-Eye Correction to the images that have been taken. ISO Speed: The ISO speed can be set Automatically (ISO Auto), or manually to ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 or 3200. Lowering the ISO speed results in sharper images but there's a greater chance of subject or image blurring in certain shooting conditions. Raising the ISO speed results in a faster shutter speed, reducing blurred images. The images, however, will appear more coarse. My Colors: You can choose the look and feel of the photos you take by using My Colors to add the following effects to the image you are currently recording or have already recorded: Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, B/W, Positive Film, Lighter Skin, Darker Skin, Vivid Blue, Vivid Green, Vivid Red, and Custom Color. Self-Timer: The ELPH 520 HS utilizes a 10-second, 2-second, and a custom self-timer to allow the photographer to be included in the shot, or to avoid camera shake when using a tripod. The custom self-timer allows you to set the time delay to 1-15, 20, 25, or 30 seconds for up to 10 shots. Wink Self Timer: In addition to the standard and custom self-timers, the ELPH 520 HS can be set to record an image of a person approximately two seconds after detecting a wink. Face Self-Timer: The Face Self-Timer automatically detects an increase in the number of faces, and makes the appropriate adjustments. When the Face Detection Self-Timer is set, the camera waits for the photographer's face to get on-camera before it takes the shot. The camera will shoot, two seconds after the new face is detected. Playback, Editing and Print Functions Slide Show: Images stored on a memory card can automatically be displayed one-by-one using the Slide Show function. You can set the playback time for each image, and the transition effects when switching between images. If desired, you can repeat the slide show automatically. Index Display: This feature allows you to view 4 to 100 images at once on the LCD monitor so that you can search for an image quickly. Movies cannot be played in the index playback mode. Magnifying Images: Using the zoom button, you can magnify a photo up to 10x. Once zoomed in, you can use the "arrow" buttons to move around the displayed area. Playback Displays: You can choose from three types of displays: Simple Information: screen includes basic information about the image Detailed Information: screen include a histogram display as well as detailed information about the settings used when the image was captured. Focus Check: magnifies the area of a recorded image that was inside the AF frame so you can check the focus. Resizing Images: You can save images a lower recording pixel setting than the original image, saving the resized image as a separate file. Trimming: You can cut out a portion of a recorded image and save it as a new image file. Protecting Images: The protect feature allows you to protect important images from accidental erasure. You can protect images by the image itself or select All Images. PictBridge: Using the supplied USB cable, you can connect this camera directly to a PictBridge-compatible printer of any brand. You can also connect the camera directly to certain Canon SELPHY compact photo printers and PIXMA inkjet photo printers. In this way, you can make prints directly from the camera without having to connect to a computer.

The backup battery charges in approximately 4 hours while a charged main battery (NB-9L) is inserted, or the camera is connected to an external AC adapter. AC Adapter: If you need to operate the camera for long periods of time during a slide show or when connected to a printer, it is recommended to use the optional ACK-DC70 AC Adapter Kit. Power Saving Functions: The camera is equipped with the following power saving functions: Auto Power Down During Shooting: The screen will turn off approximately 1 minute after the camera is last operated. You can "wake" the camera at this point by pressing the shutter button halfway to turn on the screen and continue shooting. After about 2 more minutes, if no buttons are pressed, the lens will retract and the power will turn off. Auto Power Down During Playback: The camera power down approximately 5 minutes after the last control is accessed on the camera. Note: The Power Saving Function will not activate during a slide show or while the camera is connected to a computer.

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs Traveler's friend Written by Dave Bar, Staff Writer - Creative, on 1/31/2013 10:58:00 AM While preparing for a trip to Scotland and England, I started looking for an ultra-compact camera with a respectable zoom range that could easily be stuffed into a pocket. I love my trusty Canon PowerShot G11, but it was just a little too bulky, and it has a somewhat limited 5X zoom. I wanted something truly tiny with a big telephoto zoom that would let me get close to distant subjects, as well as a reasonable amount of wide-angle capability to capture castle dungeon interiors. Oh, and I didn't want to spend a lot. Is that too much to ask? I found all that, and more, in the Canon PowerShot 520 HS. In addition to meeting all of the initial requirements, this little shooter has a big, bright 3" LCD screen. I discovered that the screen didn't wash out too easily either, even when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight (somewhat of a rarity in Great Britain). I was also surprised and impressed by its speed. Even when we were whipping around London on the top of a double-decker bus, I was able to get off plenty of crisply focused shots in quick succession. And that 12X telephoto zoom came in very handy for those long-distance close-ups of Big Ben. Almost all of my photos turned out far beyond my expectations. The size of this camera may be an issue for folks with large hands. Its controls are small and closely spaced. It took me a little while to acclimate, but the learning curve wasn't too steep. It also uses the less-common microSDHC memory cards, which meant having to buy additional memory since my other cameras use standard-size SD cards. But memory cards are cheap and plentiful enough these days that it wasn't by any means a deal breaker. Besides, microSDHC cards come with a standard card adapter that lets me use them in my other cams. All in all I think this little camera, with its speed, versatility, and solid picture quality, is a great choice for travelers wanting to go light. What are the Labs?

Launch Vehicle: Terrier-Black Brant Mk 1
Launch Site: White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, USA
NASA Center: Goddard Space Flight Center

Principal Investigator: John Clarke (Boston University)
Boston University VeSpR FAQ
VeSpR is a telescope which was mounted inside a sounding rocket. This suborbital rocket took the telescope to a height of 300 km in less than five minutes -- well into outer space (defined as 100 km altitude), and above most of the Earth's atmosphere in order to observe ultraviolet (UV) light from Venus, which would have been otherwise absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere. In fact, this is over half as high as the Hubble Space Telescope. This rocket is re-usuable, and after the launch, the payload (the telescope) was recovered to use again.
Four minutes and ten seconds of data may not sound like a lot, but the telescope's optics are specially designed for spectroscopic observations. In fact, because the telescope is so efficient for UV light that, it can observe in five minutes what would take Hubble four hours to observe.

How to fit and repair taps
New basin taps are a great way to upgrade your bathroom. Look out for versions with an eco click mechanism, as they'll help you and your family control how much water you use. If one of your taps is dripping, try to fix it promptly - otherwise it'll stain your bath or sink and cause erosion inside the mechanism of the tap.
Practical planning - Bathrooms
Whilst planning your bathroom it can be easy to forget those little practical details. Think about the kind of look you want to achieve but also the space you are buying it for; a family bathroom will have different needs to a downstairs cloakroom.

Winners of the 2009 Open Architecture Challenge: Classrooms
Several months ago, Architecture for Humanity, in partnership with Orient Global, put designers all around the world to the test in their 2009 Open Architecture Challenge for the Classroom of the Future. The mission? Address the unique issues that schools everywhere are facing in order to provide innovative, cost-effective and sustainable learning spaces for students. Over 400 entries were submitted and the winners were just announced this week. Read on for our overview of the top 5 winning designs!
Challenge Winner: Teton Valley Community School
Designed by Section Eight [design], Victor, Idaho, USA
The Teton Valley Community School in Idaho is a unique collaborative school that needs additional and adaptable space. The design for the new school done by Section Eight incorporates sustainable construction, interactive outdoor space, gardens, recycled and eco-friendly materials, and efficient heating and cooling systems. This winning design will receive $50,000 towards the construction of the new buildings, and the designers will receive $5,000 to help implement the design. Upon completion, the Teton Valley Community School will not only serve as a place of education, but will teach students about sustainability as well.
Founders' Award: The Corporacion Educativa y Social Waldorf
Designed by Arquitectura Justa, Bogota, Colombia
The Corporación Educativa y Social Waldorf (Waldorf Educational and Social Corporation) is a local NGO that provides educational opportunities to 200 children and youth free of charge. In designing a school to accommodate ever increasing enrollments, the space is unwalled with a central terrace to act as an open-air classroom, and in each room a bench surrounds the classroom to seat overflow. The building itself is infused with natural daylight and constructed from natural materials with a strong focus on sustainable design.
Best Urban Classroom Upgrade Design: Rumi School of Excellence
Designed by IDEO, San Francisco, CA, USA
This New Jiya Community School is a place of education that teaches students the basics as well as how to be a successful member of society. The innovative classroom model and internet cafe, innovation lab and community rooms for adult education encourage entrepreneurial ideas. The classroom setup is airy and makes use of multi-tiered desks, reconfigurable walls, and open doors to the hallway to give students more space.
Best Rural Classroom Design: Building Tomorrow Academy
Designed by Gifford LLP, London, UK
This rural classroom design can be used for various community needs and provides flexible learning spaces, including a teacher's annex and folding doors that allow the room to adapt to the needs of the class. The building will be constructed from local materials using local labor and can serve as a building block for future expansions into a school campus. Passive solar design, natural ventilation and rainwater collection are the major sustainable design elements.
Best Re-locatable Classroom Design: Druid Hills High School

German World Cup ski racer Susanne Riesch will be forced to sit out the 2011-2012 racing season after sustaining a leg injury in hard fall during a downhill training run in Chile last Wednesday.
Back home in Germany on Saturday, Riesch underwent a two-hour surgery to repair a fracture of the left tibia, a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and a meniscus injury. Doctors expect her recovery to take around six months.
"The surgery went well and was absolutely necessary, because the meniscus was trapped in the fracture," Dr. Ernst-Otto Muench said after the surgery. "Given the overall situation of the cruciate ligament is replaced in a few weeks. Provided a favorable healing process, training on snow is possible in about six months."
The 24-year-old slalom specialist and younger sister of reigning World Cup overall champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch, has two career German national titles and seven World Cup top-five finishes.
"I knew immediately that I was seriously hurt," said Susanne Riesch of the crash. "The first surgery is done. Now I am recovering, and then it is time for the cruciate ligament. Then I'll focus on the rehabilitation to be able to attack in the World Cup full again."

Lightweight, super breathable, minimalist gaiters that keep your feet and socks in good condition. Function: The Outdoor Research Spark Plug Gaiters are minimalist gaiters that prevent debris from entering your shoe. This means less emptying out of shoes, longer usage out of your socks, and happy hiking or running. Sizing: I have a size L/XL gaiter, over my EU46, JP29.5, US11.5 sized Salomon X Ultra Mids.

Outdoor Research Ultra Trail Gaiters
Go either heavier or lighter. For me these gaiters did't work so well and I think there are better alternatives out there. To be honest I haven't used these as much as other gear that I review. This is partly due to their fit. I wear 46 (US 11.5) and got these in a large. I could put these on no problem (removing shoes first of course). The top of the ankle 'sock' has a small elastic drawstring. I would say that I have quite thin ankles with low body fat and the elastic is already tight. When… Full review

Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain Low Gaiters
Low in weight, high in performance—an easy-on, easy-off option to prevent rain, snow, or debris from entering your shoes or boots. Note: A quick check of of the Outdoor Research site lists this item a a current price of $33.50. It appears to have become unavailable on other sites recently.

Outdoor Research Women's Crocodiles
Worked amazing!! Mud, muk, even water. These things can do it all. I bought these for a trip to MT Marcy in the Adirondacks last fall. When we went there was snow on the ground but it was a fairly warm weekend (as far as Marcy in the fall goes) meaning it was muddy. I was wearing my Asolo heavy hikers and the Crocs. At on point I sunk in 3/4 way up my croc. but these things were amazing and my feet never got wet. I traipsed through streams, puddles, and mud without any concern and throughout the… Full review
Outdoor Research Men's Wrapid Gaiter
Gaiters are gaiters, but the instep strap on the OR's is the best. I've done the John Muir Trail now a bunch of times and the one thing I always end up tossing at the end of the trail (besides that WAG BAG) is my gaiters. Hasn't mattered which brand—I just end up wearing a hole on the inside ankle. Maybe you don't have this problem. I would recommend these OR gaiters if for nothing else, OR has come up with a remarkably durable in-step strap. They call it, "Bio-Thane" which I am learning… Full review
Rab Unisex Latok Alpine Gaiter
Breathable with fast and solid closing system but... These gaiters are breathable and easy to put in with a simple and reliable closing system: no zipper, just a strong velcro band. The front hook going below the laces is a feature I actually like. They are also comfortable to wear and adjustable. However, at first use I had one problem: the front hook of one gaiter ripped off. It's true the terrain I used them had vegetation above and below the unconsolidated snow, and my feet regularly sunk in… Full review
Outdoor Research Ultra Trail Gaiters
Lightweight fairly minimalist low gaiters, work OK to keep debris out of low-cut trail shoes. Fit is not superb on low shoes, but it works well enough. The cons I've encountered: Velcro tabs are supposed to be glued on the shoes, to hook on the bottom of the gaiter to keep them from riding up. I didn't bother when i first used the gaiters, and it's worked OK without them for hiking with my low hiking shoes, the rubbery grips inside at the rear works well enough to keep them in place — might be… Full review
Outdoor Research Stamina Gaiter
These gaiters are great for day hiking with trail shoes or light boots in the summer season. They are so light you hardly notice that you're wearing them. I would recommend this product for anyone who is tired of picking trail debris from their shoes and socks. These are the first trail gaiters I've tried, so I can't compare them to others. I've worn full length gaiters for years, and love them for keeping snow and water out of my boots. I never thought of summer gaiters until recently. I was tired… Full review

Comments about Camelbak Helena 100 oz. Hydration Pack for Women - 2012 Model:
This is a great hydration pack with ample room for day hikes. I bought this particular model because I needed something with the capacity to carry my camera and a lens or two. This does the job perfectly with the addition of a camera partition to keep it safe. I also have enough extra space for an extra layer and food for extended hikes. While this pack has ample space, it also has a sleek design that doesn't weigh you down. It's very adjustable to ensure proper fit as well. I am extremely happy with this purchase and I see it lasting for years to come. I would definitely recommend this pack.

Comments about Camelbak Helena 100 oz. Hydration Pack for Women - 2012 Model:
My wife and I hike 7-10 miles almost every weekend. She bought the exact pack (except hers is blue/gray) last year and loved it. I like to hike in sleeveless T's and my light bike pack straps always rub into my underarm area. I tried hers one day for a bit and had to get one. This pack has great staps, well padded and designed to curve in away from my underarms. No more rubbing. I'm 5'6" so I bought the womens' version built for a shorter torso. The great design distributes the weight to the right places. It has 2 easy to use open side pockets, perfect for carrying extra water bottles for our 2 Dobermans. It has all the right straps and belts to make for a comfortable but solid fit. I can even run with it when I need to without everything banging around on me. I highly recommend this pack.

Warfarin, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Warfarin (Coumadin) is an anticoagulant that acts by antagonizing the action of vitamin K resulting in the same coagulation abnormalities produced by vitamin K deficiency.
Warfarin reduces the levels of prothrombin and factors VII, IX, and X, thereby prolonging the prothrombin and partial thromboplastin times.
Warfarin produces its anticoagulant effect within 36 to 72 hours of initiating therapy, and the duration of action may persist for 4 to 5 days following withdrawal of drug.
Warfarin circulates almost completely bound to albumin (>98%), and its half-life ranges from 20 to 60 hours.
Abnormal bleeding is the chief complication of overdose.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring patients whose prothrombin time is inconsistent with the prescribed warfarin dose, particularly when failure to comply or surreptitious drug use is suspected.
Note: This test is not useful for evaluation of the patient with prolonged bleeding time suspected of exposure to rat poisons.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Therapeutic concentration: 2.0 to 5.0 mcg/mL
Toxic concentration: > or =10.0 mcg/mL
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not useful for evaluation of the patient with prolonged bleeding who are suspected of exposure to rat poisons.
Patients transfused with fresh-frozen plasma may have a disparity between their warfarin level (elevated) and a relatively normal prothrombin.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

This panel discussion focuses on the circulation of skilled immigrant professionals and the recognition of foreign qualifications in the United States and Europe.
This report analyzes how recent immigrants to France fare in the country's labor market over time. The research shows that new arrivals initially face a hostile labor market and ultimately improve their employment outcomes—but their process of labor market insertion and advancement is a slow one.
Many of Sweden's immigrants are refugees who lack the skills and education to gain employment soon after they arrive. Over time, however, newcomers to Sweden have improved their employment rates, displayed income growth similar to natives, and moved from low- to middle-skilled positions. This report assesses how new immigrants—refugees, labor migrants, and others—fare in Sweden's labor market.
This report assesses how new immigrants to Spain fare in the country's labor market, evaluating the conditions under which they are able to find employment, and their progress out of unskilled work into middle-skilled jobs. The report is part of a series of six case studies on labor market outcomes among immigrants to European Union countries.
This report assesses the labor market outcomes of new immigrants in the Czech Republic, focusing on trends according to year of arrival, country of origin, gender, level of education, and sector of employment. The analysis suggests that the challenge of reducing obstacles to immigrant workers' progression into more skilled employment are worth significant policy attention.
During this public briefing in Guatemala City (conducted in both English and Spanish), the Co-Directors of the Migration Policy Institute-convened Regional Migration Study Group, MPI President Demetrios G. Papademetriou and Senior Fellow Doris Meissner, presented the Study Group's final report, Thinking Regionally to Compete Globally: Leveraging Migration and Human Capital in the U.S., Mexico, and Central America.
This panel discussion focuses on the circulation of skilled immigrant professionals and the recognition of foreign qualifications in the United States and Europe.
This report analyzes mutual recognition agreements (MRAs) between countries, which allow professionals to transfer their skills and experiences across borders more effectively. The report, part of a series on the recognition of foreign credentials, evaluates existing MRAs and discusses the prospects for cooperation between the United States and the European Union.
This statement outlines the guiding principles and recommendations of the ninth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration, which focused on how public and private-sector actors can make smart investments in underutilized workers, including immigrants. A key goal: how to maximize the potential of those with skills of all types, including the often-overlooked middle skills.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A federal judge in Nashville has overturned the convictions of three men on the charge of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of children.
In his Wednesday order, U.S. District Judge William Haynes said his decision to overrule a jury was based on the government's failure to prove the men were part of a single, overarching conspiracy.
Haynes also faulted the government for failing to turn over thousands of pages of documents to the defendants before the start of trial in April.
Originally, 30 people were indicted in the case that spanned Ohio, Minnesota and Tennessee, but only nine of them stood trial.
The jury acquitted six but convicted Idris Ibrahim Fahra, Andrew Kayachith and Yassin Abdirahman Yusuf. Haynes acquitted those three Wednesday.

Test ID: HGH
Growth Hormone, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of acromegaly and assessment of treatment efficacy (in conjunction with glucose suppression test)
Diagnosis of human growth hormone deficiency (in conjunction with growth hormone stimulation test)
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The anterior pituitary secretes human growth hormone (hGH) in response to exercise, deep sleep, hypoglycemia, and protein ingestion. hGH stimulates hepatic insulin-like growth factor-1 and mobilizes fatty acids from fat deposits to the liver. Hyposecretion of hGH causes dwarfism in children. Hypersecretion causes gigantism in children or acromegaly in adults.
Because hGH levels in normal and diseased populations overlap, hGH suppression and stimulation tests are needed to evaluate conditions of hGH excess and deficiency; random hGH levels are inadequate.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Males: 0.01-0.97 ng/mL
Females: 0.01-3.61 ng/mL
Reference intervals have not been formally verified in-house for pediatric and adolescent patients. The published literature indicates that reference intervals for adult, pediatric, and adolescent patients are comparable.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Acromegaly: For suppression testing, normal subjects have a nadir growth hormone (GH) concentration of <0.3 ng/mL after ingestion of a 75-gram glucose dose. Patients with acromegaly fail to show normal suppression. Using the Access ultrasensitive hGH assay, a cutoff of 0.53 ng/mL for nadir GH was found to most accurately differentiate patients with acromegaly in remission from active disease with a sensitivity of 97% (95% CI, 83%-100%) and a specificity of 100% (95% CI, 82%-100%).(1)
Deficiency: A normal response following stimulation tests is a peak GH concentration >5 ng/mL in children and >4 ng/mL in adults. For children, some experts consider GH values between 5 ng/mL and 8 ng/mL equivocal and only GH peak values >8 ng/mL as truly normal. Low levels, particularly under stimulation, indicate human growth hormone deficiency.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The test has limited value in assessing growth hormone secretion in normal children. IGF1I / Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1, Serum is recommended as the first test for assessing deficient or excess growth during childhood and adolescent development; reference intervals for Tanner stages are available. Suspected causes of dwarfism need to be diagnosed with the aid of provocative testing.
This test is not useful as a screen for acromegaly; IGF1I / Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1, Serum is preferred. Elevated levels of human growth hormone indicate the possibility of gigantism or acromegaly, but must be confirmed with stimulation and suppression testing.
Growth hormone is secreted in surges; single measurements are of limited diagnostic value.

Recently, I was introduced to the world of gingerbread house-making when I took a 6-hour-long workshop on how to construct one. Although that sounds like a long time, the class was so much fun that the time just whizzed by! My creation is shown here.
One of the things that impressed me about this activity is that there are so many features that you can include in your display and seemingly endless options in edible materials to produce the effects. For example, pretzels for fencing and doors, cereal for roofing shingles, peppermint candies for stepping-stones. . . . Just peruse grocery stores, candy stores, gourmet shops, baking shops, etc., for supplies. Anything goes, as long as it is edible.

A History of Showbiz Career Suicide

Joaquin Phoenix

A couple years ago, the Walk the Line star began showing up on talk shows sporting a shaggy beard and sounding incoherent, mumbling plans about giving up acting to become a rapper. Turns out the whole meltdown was an act, a two-year piece of performance art chronicled in the documentary I'm Still Here. But was he? Who'd take him seriously as an actor or co-worker after that? Fortunately, his strong performance in this fall's The Master is earning enough Oscar buzz that his years spent punking everyone have been all but forgotten.

Except as limited by paragraph (f) of this section, and after notice and opportunity for public comment, the Regional Administrator, or, if appropriate, State Director subject to EPA approval, is authorized to adjust the minimum levels of effluent quality set forth in paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2), (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section for trickling filter facilities and in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section for waste stabilization pond facilities, to conform to the BOD5 and SS effluent concentrations consistently achievable through proper operation and maintenance (§ 133.101(f)) by the median (50th percentile) facility in a representative sample of facilities within a State or appropriate contiguous geographical area that meet the definition of facilities eligible for treatment equivalent to secondary treatment (§ 133.101(g)).(The information collection requirements contained in this rule have been approved by OMB and assigned control number 2040-0051)
(1) Where data are available to establish CBOD5 limitations for a treatment works subject to this section, the NPDES permitting authority may substitute the parameter CBOD5 for the parameter BOD5 In §§ 133.105(a)(1), 133.105(a)(2) and 133.105(a)(3), on a case-by-case basis provided that the levels of CBOD5 effluent quality are not less stringent than the following:
(2) Where data are available, the parameter CBOD5 may be used for effluent quality limitations established under paragraph (d) of this section. Where concurrent BOD effluent data are available, they must be submitted with the CBOD data as a part of the approval process outlined in paragraph (d) of this section.
(f) Permit adjustments. Any permit adjustment made pursuant to this part may not be any less stringent than the limitations required pursuant to § 133.105(a)-(e). Furthermore, permitting authorities shall require more stringent limitations when adjusting permits if: (1) For existing facilities the permitting authority determines that the 30-day average and 7-day average BOD5 and SS effluent values that could be achievable through proper operation and maintenance of the treatment works, based on an analysis of the past performance of the treatment works, would enable the treatment works to achieve more stringent limitations, or
(2) For new facilities, the permitting authority determines that the 30-day average and 7-day average BOD5 and SS effluent values that could be achievable through proper operation and maintenance of the treatment works, considering the design capability of the treatment process and geographical and climatic conditions, would enable the treatment works to achieve more stringent limitations.

And perhaps last leaks...
Posted via CB10
In 2010, BlackBerry once again tried to go the flip phone route and before it was called the BlackBerry Style and possibly even before it was called by the Oxford codename, BGR got a look at the then dubbed 9670. We ran a poll asking whether or not folks thought BlackBerry should release the Style and a full 81% of respondents said BlackBerry should skip it. It ended up getting released though and it even came on Halloween for Sprint. Kevin however, still has one of these and to this day, wishes BlackBerry would release a new purple device. He loved it!
And perhaps last leaks...
Posted via CB10
I'm sorry but I don't do hypocrisy and I won't pretend to be ok with anyone that bashes any brand that I choose to use. I also don't live in the past and if BlackBerry, CrackBerry or any other company is wise they will not focus on the past. The future is racing towards us faster than ever before especially in the tech industry so let's stop wasting time on yesterday's success and live for today!
BlackBerry Q10 KEEP THE FAITH
Is there a nice way to say that KM has always sucked up to and bent over backwards to defend one J. Geller. It has always seemed to me that someone needed to get KM on the couch about this. Stockholm Syndrome? BGR obviously has long been a go-to source for leakers, and that fact as much as any other establishes the merit in trying to cut these generally malevolent leaks. BGR has at least enough sophistication to disguise some of its animus toward BB by intermittently saying some seemingly nice things but its part of the larger design to denigrate the enterprise. I remain a huge KM fan, notwithstanding the irritating avatar. But I've never understood the compulsion to pal around someone who has been waiting at the funeral parlor for BB's wake to begin for many, many years.
LOL !! Couldn't agree more.
I used to view them daily before I found the greatest BB site in the free world :)
The feigned appreciation/accurate reporting of BB by BGR in the odd and I mean VERY odd complimentary articles makes me sick. I click over to them every few months to see just how much I don't miss their bias.
Kevin I don't know why you give them air.
Hey, I said be nice in the comments here! And we're looking back here at the BB leaks they've done in the past vs. anything opinion based, etc.
I understand why you are posting this article, and believe me, it's fun to reflect on these sorts of things.
Unfortunately, a lot of people find it hard to forgot the animosity that BGR has toward the favourite brand, of many of us, that we have come to cherish, respect and admire.
Guys, I know a lot of us do not like BGR, but if you just start pouring in the nasty comments, you'll be to them what you see them to you.
Come on #TeamBlackBerry. We are about class! Let's be the bigger person.
Sorry for the double post! :/
Quality Poultry - Channel PIN: C004B64D1
I usually agree with this logic, but not in this case. Shame on CB for this article...
BGR deliberately only posts negative news about BlackBerry, usually a couple days late, which makes it worse because it brings the bad news to the forefront a second time. They also rarely ever write about the good news and when they do, they spend half the article bashing BlackBerry.
This CB posts seems very BGRish in the sense that it is click and comment bait. Everyone here knows how CB readers feel about BGR and their garbage articles (even the non - BlackBerry ones). For you guys to go out of your way to make this post, it's disappointing. CB has always done a very good job avoiding click bait articles. Either you don't know your readers well enough, or you fell victim to BGR's ways.
Posted via my Z10
kevin... you often "amaze" with your allegiances.... BGR?
BGR - and more specifically Johnny Boy Gellardt - or whatever his name is, has been one of the biggest and most vicious attackers of BlackBerry for years..... both in print and whenever his roly poly balding being makes its way, in front of, the lights on CNBC - where he not only becomes a "reviewer the smartphone industry" but morphs into "#1 smartphone industry stock analyst" to wear another hat in bashing BlackBerry....
I, personally, would rather see you hype iPhones on CrackBerry then give this iTard cretin any kind of attention... WOW...
I don't know where to start. You said a lot of what I was thinking so I'll just add to your comments.
- Kevin I really like you and your writings but I would say this is a mistake this post
- BGR is the "Little Finger" (Game of Thrones reference) of BlackBerry. Plays nice for a bit then stabs you in the back.
- BGR does not deserve their name ever being posted on this site IMHO
- This post should have been "The 10 things BGR has done to try and ruin BlackBerry"
- Kevin you knew this post would cause problems so you thought you would add, "BG just got engaged, so throw him a congrats while you're in there!". Not many CB'er want to be civil with BGR. I don't care if is dog died, not gonna be civil.
- Kevin, not sure your "relationship" with BGR but maybe you should rethink it. Or at least keep it in the closet.
K, done rant. Sorry Kevin I really respect you but I had to let it out. If my close friends make a bad decision then I will always tell them to there face
Here one:
These are just two that instantly came to mind.
Johnathan has a HATE on for BlackBerry
Nice addendum, Brian
CB10 from the Z30
While I like your approach in taking the high road, IMO BGR doesn't deserve it for the anti-BBRY slant they put on pretty much every article they publish even remotely related to BBRY... and don't get me started on the trolling and incessant BBRY bashing that happens on that site. SMDH
Posted via CB10 from my amazing Q10
FYI.. We're doing some big work behind the scenes to improve this new pagination / slideshow thing for when we want to put it to use. With the current build images go a bit wonky if they don't meet the right format, so with some of the images we used ones we had on CB... but if you click through to the links in the captions you'll go back to the original posts which have more images, specs, etc.
This is one hell of a way telling Blackberry and it's new boss about the past glory of leaks.
I agree with John Chen, good its being taken seriously and leaks do have a material impact on Blackberry.
So let's stop revelling in the blog for 2 days ruining about leaks.
Get on with the show
Posted by the Crackberry Pirate
No, he didn't really. There isn't just ONE leak for a given device. There's many leaks. CB has had posted tons of leaks over the years. BG was pointing out that in many of those cases he had posted the first leak about that device, which in a lot of cases was absolutely true. Subsequently, CB may have followed up with many more.
With yesterday's slide show, I included a lot of our favorite leaks/exclusives, which weren't always the "first" leak of a device. Let's say for example device reviews.. those are all leaks too, and massively exclusive as they're the first hands on review of a new device, but there definitely were images/etc. leaked of those devices in advance of those reviews.
It's semantics and definitions... but it's all good. I'm kinda having fun just looking back through old BlackBerry history here. AND... there's so many NEWER people on this site who missed years of this history, that it's fun to bring it all up again. BlackBerry History 101.
Honestly I see where you're coming from but this is strictly about device leaks. We all know how biased and how badly BGR bashes BlackBerry but they used to be solid with device leaks. As I recall the whole site really started with BlackBerry leaks... anyway, their opinion articles and "reviews" are all lean towards all things Apple. They don't have a lot of original info anymore but instead link to others' original content
Posted with a Verizon Z30 running 10.2.1.2228 and CB10. [URL="bbmc:C0004F9BB"] My channel with zero subscribers [/URL]
One thing that insiders will tell you is that Blackberry was at times quite unkind to these fledgling enthusiast and leak sites. For many a tech blogger this left a bad taste that continues to this day. Again same is true of wireless carriers. BB was pretty 'overbearing' in their hey day. From device and software testing burdens to purchase requirements. BB made many enemies on the way up. Focusing on the fact that so many are taking a shot at them on the way down is allot like the teacher grounding the kid that finally stands up and punches the bully in the nose. History paints the present. And don't get me started on how BES users had suffered under RIM.
It is strange how "committed" many BlackBerry fans are, even though for most of it's history it has not really embraced it's fans. The STORM is still what I consider BlackBerry's turning point... they sold a TON of these and made the company a lot of money. But in the end it created a lot of negative feelings towards BlackBerry devices, both from Verizon and customers who taught they were buying an iPhone killer. But got a device the was VERY BUGGY and ended up having a hardware design flaw that BlackBerry never addressed for all of those STORM1 owners.
Oh yeah memories. Remember learning about adjusting the screws. You're correct, they also never addressed the fact that the underlying metal button would heat up and begin to burn into the screen after a short while. Heck the only hardware design flaw they ever really publicly addressed was the faulty track balls on the Tour. Not even the faulty headphone jacks on the 98XX devices. I believe the manufacturer used an overly flexible tin which stretched out over the course of 90-180 days and would cause not just loss of sound by device shorts (mine would always bring up voice control). Hard to believe how far they've come with the Z10/Z30.
That was Bla1ze! He did the captions on the top ten. I wrote the intro / conclusion. Fixing.. :)
BGR is a very well known BlackBerry Basher site. Not just by comments from people, but the authors themselves continually manipulate the news to give BBRY a bad name.
I hope BlackBerry gives Crackberry a ' First Look ' exclusive deal instead of leaks.
This would be more than helpful since Crackberry has shown such loyal support to BlackBerry through the good, bad and ugly times.
Time to show some back.
BlackBerry...Get it done!!!
Posted via CB10
It seems to me that the articles in BGR about BlackBerry have been less bias than usual, but the readers are the same and the site is filled with trolls.
That's because Geller was told off by BlackBerry, and he got really pissy and then actually USED the BB10 phones, and while not to his liking, he might just be liking it more than he'd like to admit.
Anyone of my friends who has played with my Z10 who is an Apple or Android user really likes my phone, some say it's just not for them, some want more apps (even though now you can download Snap and the APK's and MOST apps do work) and a majority of my friends love it, and will be upgrading in the next few months to either Z30's or Q10's. Z10 got knocked a lot for a poor battery.
It's just too bad, like Geller, people see the blackberry of old, and want nothing to do with BlackBerry anymore.
Lol didn't know that,,,,, but ya the only thing I didn't like about the Z10 was the battery life. It's the main reason I got the Z30 as soon as it came available.
Reminder, please keep the comments nice in here or I'll turn them off. This was meant as a post in good fun about LEAKS!!! :)
I understand why you are posting this article, and believe me, it's fun to reflect on these sorts of things.

Well said :)
There is nothing fun or good about bgr in relation to blackberry, sorry.
SurePress was awesome :)
Posted via CB10
Man people get soo defensive. If you don't like a site don't go there. Isn't it that simple? Also, the point of this is a fun retrospective... I love seeing how the Storm was groundbreaking for its time. Even though now thinking about my old Storm 2 makes me want to punch a wall.
Part of the point I made above about BES users and having no choice but to use a BB device 2008-2010 made many of them quite hostile to BB and helped lead to the revolution of BYOD. Now imagine hosting a BB enthusiast site and getting weekly cease and desist and takedown letters from that same BB. Imagine spending more on attorneys fees to deal with threats of suit or prosecution for doing nothing illegal than for all other business expenses combined? Bloggers did not sour on BB overnight and for no reason. Carriers are in some cases making common sense business decisions with regard to BB, in some cases they are downright hostile. Again, sometimes you need to understand the history, The Storm debacle destroyed any last shred of good will between Verizon and Blackberry. The do business together, but little else.
By the way even if it won't be cool for leaks... I think J. Chen is doing the right thing on the leak. By the way Kevin... any news on if BlackBerry could release new OS for everyone everywhere at the same time??? even if here in Canada the carriers are pretty fast on this!
Posted via CB10
Can't stand BGR at all... And I will keep it clean, but seriously, who would want to marry geller? Anyways... This list does have a lot of great nostalgia. Between yesterdays post and todays, it was a great walk in the park and sad that Chen wants to stop the leaks, but whatever. You can't please everyone and honestly, leaks will never stop. MS, Apple, Samsung, Google you name the top consumer technology companies and they have all had leaks, nothing will ever stop it
Your mom should have a sit down with the team at BGR.
Posted via CB10
I will add this. The BlackBerry design on all those leaks remind me of iPhone. Had not changed in a very long time. Minor tweaks here and there. One of many reasons why people jumped BlackBerry to another platform. Got bored of the same ol same ol. Let's hope BlackBerry comes in strong before the end if the year with solid designs and OS to win back public support.
I had the 8900 Kevin, and it's everything you said it was.
A very underrated device.

I stopped reading when I read B, G and R in the same word.
Peace out
@ SK... are you equally "grateful" for all of the hate lobbed at BlackBerry over the years by BGR - both in print and on CNBC with the rest of the "Cramerica BlackBerry Bashing Apple Media Complex"?
iBGR sucks... at least it's BlackBerry posts suck... really bad!!!
I am sorry Kevin... but they really get to my nerves...
Worst thread EVER on Crackberry. What's next? Top 10 best quotes by Adolf Hitler?
I totally had to Google that. Lol.
"All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach."
"Iz he talking about ze iPhone userrrs...???"
"No Q10?" -> "Buy from Chen... "
Lay off everyone - any of us old timers remember going to BGR on a regular basis and seeing some really worthwhile things. To be truthful I haven't looked at BGR a great deal over the last couple of years (the last thing I really remember reading there was the 9900 review) and know the pro-iPhone sentiment has set in, but you have to remember that the iPhone is the defining handset of our modern era and he's from the only admirer.
Congrats Geller, and thanks for the leaks over the years and making CrackBerry even better in the process by keeping the CB team on their toes!
Posted via CB10
BlackBerry leaks aka N4bb was a better website for exclusivity than bgr. Also they never talked crap about the brand.
Didnt bgr get banned or ignored at a BlackBerry event. I can't remember cause it's not worth remembering. Maybe we can go down nostalgia with that funny moment.
I would have preferred funny/quality moments like when you decided to grow your hair than this.
BGR should be more like B"G"R ... (in case it isnt obvious I am ridiculing the use of the word genius here)
BGR? Why are we legitimizing a shamelessly biased outfit that has nothing but sensationalist drivel for BlackBerry? Ignore them Kevin.
Posted via CB10
We may not all enjoy or agree with BeeGeeAre comments about our favorite company but you have to appreciate their dedication to mobile market place.
Thanks for the share!
Posted via CB10 & my kick ass BlackBerry Z30
Whats up with this place lately... as if CB promoting junk accessories for the iPhone (typo) wasn't enough, now we're 'saluting' BGR, a site that continually and without basis bashes BlackBerry...
He was trying to get Seacrest's autograph on the "Typo situation".... I have no idea what his end game is on this BGR thing....
CB10 from the Z30
And the page hits just keep rolling in ROTFL!!! Way to go Kevin lol good business.
Every site has a bias to some extent that's life the sooner we realize that the better off we'll be lol.

Blaize...you cats have an interesting sense of reality up north....
CB10 from the Z30
Oh no, trust me , we got it. We just dont love promoting Apple loving BB Bashing morons like BGR
I remember handing the storm to my Boss and saying "it's here but you're not going to like it"
I think that was the same day apple knew they had beat BlackBerry, there was just no comparison between the two devices. If they had of done the Z10 then they would still be a big player now.
Posted via CB10
Those tools are constantly putting down BB, show nothing but pics of older BB's in all their news stories, giving the image that BlackBerry still sells phones w/ a ball. They have nothing but negative spin about BlackBerry devices, the company, and anything BlackBerry is even remotely involved in. As far as I'm concerned, all the hate you see in this thread towards BGR is well EARNED, not deserved, as BGR has more than gone out of their way to paint BlackBerry and their users in a negative light.
Sorry Kevin.....but BGR has earned the animosity of this community with their biased journalism (and I use the term journalism VERY loosely).
Posted via CB10
Who gives a flying leap what BGR used to be. Today, the company you purport to love is on its death bed and BGR is sitting beside the bed with the eulogy in one hand and a pillow in the other hand. People read what they are writing and buy it as truth because of their past. There should be no good will toward them on this site. Rather don't mention them at all.
It's been so much fun to re-visit the leaks and all the devices of the past. My journey from OS5 to OS10 has been fantastic..

I'll start us off with my favorite memory. I remember when "peezy" first came to Miami, we were all so excited. He stayed longer and longer, and did not produce, yet still talked trash that he simply couldn't back up. Well, really, there is nothing good at all about this memory, but it just reminds me how disapointing and worthless Joey Porter was, and still is.

I am looking for ideas for a tilting trailer to haul a dragster. The dragster itself will be 200 inch wheelbase and will be between 4 and 5 feet wide. Weight will be between 1200-1500 pounds.
I would like to use a 4 inch drop axle to keep deck height as low as posible and to keeps ramps from being too long I would like the deck to tilt without unhooking the hitch. I would also like to use a single axle and keep GVW under 3000 lbs to avoid yearly state inspections.(PA) I relize single axle and 3k weight may not be doable.
Anyone here ever build a trailer like this or have plans they could share,ideas??

Tilting Trailer to haul Slingshot Dragster
i haven't built a trailer in quite a while, but i found this on google search. http://www.rhscales.com/trailerandtowingparts.pdf
I shows 3,500# 4" dropped axles in many sizes. The rest would be engineering a tilt system and latching mech. I think i would go with hydraulic to operate the tilt as drag cars have more weight in rear half, unless you plan on backing or winching it on rear first. Just a couple ideas after a couple of drinks.
