Depression is a medical illness in which a person has persistent feelings of sadness,often with discouragement and a lack of self-worth.
Depression in the elderly is a widespread problem, but it is not a normal part of aging. It is often not recognized or treated.
In the elderly, a number of life changes can increase the risk for depression, or make existing depression worse. Some of these changes are:
Depression can also be related to a physical illness, such as:
Overuse of alcohol or certain medications (such as sleep aids) can make depression worse.
Many of the usual symptoms of depression may be seen. However, depression in the elderly may be hard to detect. Common symptoms such as fatigue, appetite loss, and trouble sleeping can be part of the aging process or a physical illness. As a result, early depression may be ignored, or confused with other conditions that are common in the elderly.
The doctor or nurse will examine you and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms.
Blood and urine tests may be done to look for a physical illness.
You may be referred to a mental health specialist to help with diagnosis and treatment.
The first steps of treatment are to:
If these steps do not help, medications to treat depression and talk therapy often help.
Doctors often prescribe lower doses of antidepressants to older people, and increase the dose more slowly than in younger adults.
To better manage depression at home, you should:
Depression often responds to treatment. The outcome is usually better for people who have access to social services, family, and friends who can help them stay active and engaged.
The most worrisome complication of depression is suicide.
Men make up most suicides among the elderly. Divorced or widowed men are at the highest risk.
Families should pay close attention to elderly relatives who are depressed and live alone.
Call your health care provider if you feel persistently sad, worthless, or hopeless, or if you cry often. Also call if you are having trouble coping with stresses in your life and want to be referred for talk therapy.
Go to the nearest emergency room or call your local emergency number (such as 911) if you are thinking about suicide (taking your own life).
If you are caring for an aging family member and think they may have depression, contact their health care provider.

Honey Boo Boo crash: Pumpkin rushed back to hospital
(TMZ) - Honey Boo Boo's sister Pumpkin has been rushed back to the ER after complications from a serious car accident last month ... TMZ has learned.
13-year-old Pumpkin was taken to a Georgia hospital last night -- and sources tell TMZ, it's because she's still experiencing serious pain in the wake of the January 6th car accident that injured several members of her family.
TMZ reports Pumpkin has been complaining of bad headaches, neck pain, and nausea -- all signs of head trauma. A rep for TLC tells TMZ, she was admitted to the hospital for a battery of tests.
As TMZ reported, Honey Boo Boo, Mama June, Pumpkin and Jessica were all passengers in the car, which was driven by Sugar Bear. Police later determined Sugar Bear was at fault.

Time to get cocky: It's Homecoming week
By Megan Sexton, email@example.com, 803-777-1421
A Friday night alumni rally in Columbia's Vista, the Cockfest pep rally and a pre-game alumni tailgate party Saturday morning highlight this year's Homecoming Week at the University of South Carolina.
With the theme, "Cocky for a Reason," Gamecock Nation will gather to celebrate all the reasons students, faculty, staff and alumni have to be cocky.
"Homecoming is always a great event because it is a huge opportunity not only for alumni to reconnect with their alma mater, but also an opportunity for many areas within the university to reach out and engage alumni of all ages," said Brad Muller, My Carolina Alumni Association's senior director of communications.
The festivities begin with Service Saturday on Nov. 3, a week before the Gamecocks take on the Arkansas Razorbacks at Williams-Brice Stadium at noon, Nov. 10. Along with university-wide events, individual colleges and programs are hosting parties, open houses and other festivities. Here are some of the highlights, listed by day.

Kelly and Chris were married at Sugarman Estate in Wailea-Makena, Hawaii on October 11. The bride wore a sweetheart a-line wedding gown with a lace bodice and ruffled tulle skirt, accessorized with shoulder-length veil in her half-up/half-down 'do, while the groom wore a gray suit, accessorized with a skull-themed bow tie. The maid of honor wore a short navy blue chiffon dress and carried a bouquet of roses, berries, dusty millers, and ferns. The ceremony took place at sunset with the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop stretching from the shores of Honua Kai Lani to the islands of Kahoolawe, Molokini, and beyond. The couple decided to write their own vows. "There are no words I could ever relay about how I feel about you . . . I could only think of a movie — Jerry McGuire — you literally complete me, you make me want to be a better man, you make me a better man, and even though it's taken 17 long years, it was worth the wait," Chris said. Fun fact: They dated in high school and went to Arizona State University together! That's why "I always knew you were the one," Kelly said. After wiping away the tears and sealing their commitment with a kiss, it was official! The reception followed underneath a framed tent decorated with hanging lanterns, overflowing centerpieces atop moss-covered wooden boxes, and "mahalo" (thank you) notes at each place setting.

PHOTOS: How Vanessa and Nick celebrated Camden's 1st birthday
(Yahoo!) - Camden Lachey's first birthday was a home run!
Vanessa and Nick Lachey's only son turned 1 on September 12 and they celebrated his milestone birthday in a big way. Sporting adorable matching jerseys created just for the special occasion, the trio hit the Cincinnati Reds's Great American Ball Park for a day of fun.
"Cam's 1st Birthday in Cincy was a success!" the former "TRL" host tweeted Sunday, along with the pic. "Beautiful day, lots of sweets, and so much Love! #TimeFlies."

In addition to a photo of them enjoying America's pastime, Vanessa also posted pictures of a cupcake tower — complete with a cute zebra decoration — from Nick's brother and 98 Degrees bandmate, Drew, and his wife Lea. A third photo was a snapshot of the birthday boy's new "Made in Ohio" onesie, noting, "It's true, haha!"
In Cincy for Cam's 1st Bday tomorrow. Talk about a #WelcomeHome! Thanks! Uncle @DrewLachey Aunt @LeaLachey1 pic.twitter.com/YsBUfuyd6P— Vanessa Lachey (@VanessaLachey) September 11, 2013
Thank You ALL for Cam's 1st B-day wishes & Love! U guys are the BEST! Check out his onesie! It's true, haha! pic.twitter.com/ZAuyOO0RsH— Vanessa Lachey (@VanessaLachey) September 13, 2013
The couple now resides primarily in Nick's beloved hometown, so Camden can grow up with his cousins and the rest of the Lachey family. And it's a sports household, which the baby learned at a young age.
In an interview with omg! last year, Nick said he has been grooming Camden to be a sports fan — and potentially a player — since he was just 48 hours old.
"Literally, two days after we got home from the hospital, I had him in his Bengals onesie and we were watching the game together," the proud dad boasted. "For me as a big sports and football fan, I remember sharing those memories with my dad when I was a kid and now it's exciting to be able to share this with Camden."
And Camden's name was selected in part because it had a special ring to it.
"We knew we wanted his initials to be C.J.," Nick said. "C.J. Lachey! Doesn't that sound like an athlete's name?!"
Well, it will be quite a while before young Camden's profession is determined, but we must say — Lachey sure does look good on a Reds jersey.

Betty from WA writes:
Hi, I have had a hard drive so that I can save material before I lose them, BUT how do I do it?
Hi, Betty. If I'm reading your question correctly, you've bought an external hard drive and are wondering how to back it up. If that's not right, please write to us again and let us know so that we can give you a correct answer.
First thing is to make sure that your external drive is at least as large as your computer's drive. If your computer has a 500 gig hard drive, then you want at least a 500 gig external drive for backup. Next, plug your external drive into your computer, and let it do its thing. Some of them have software built in that will install on your hard drive to communicate with the computer better.
Once that's all done, it's time for your backup. Your new external drive may come with a backup program, but my suggestion is to just skip it (unless it's one of the Western Digital Mybooks with one-button backup, that's just too easy to skip) and just use the Windows backup program. You can even schedule your backup to occur automatically at certain times. The following example is for Windows 7.
First thing that you do is find your backup program. I find it easiest to just click on the START button and enter BACKUP into the search box, thus:
You can see from this example that, when I got as far as "BA", the first and third options were both shortcuts to the backup program, which looks something like this:
Here you will not only perform your backup, but you'll also set your options for scheduling your backup. About halfway down, you'll see MANAGE SPACE.
This option will give you a break down of your backup and allow you to choose if Windows keeps all of your old backups on file, or only the most recent one. Next down from that, you'll see your backup schedule and CHANGE SETTINGS.
The CHANGE SETTINGS option will walk you through your backup wizard which will allow you to choose your backup destination, whether you want it to recur or just be a single backup, and if you want it to recur, how often.
Or, if you want to, just skip all of that jazz, go back to the top and click Back up now.
I would recommend backing up once per month, either manually or setting it up to recur on the same day every month.
I hope that this answers your question.

rt3070 is a fairly new chipset, even if its not new it will take time for specific things such as rfmon to work.
I am not very familiar with the interface naming, but I believe when serialmonkey made their own versions (either hacked or from scratch) they (serialmonkey) may have separated the differences between usb and pci devices. Even at that usb and pci chipsets had different model numbers altogether.
The driver you are using most likely came from ralink's website, meaning its only capable of making a connection and that's about it (hence the sta in the driver name for station mode, I suspect).
I personally do not use airmon-ng that much as I personally see iwconfig can do just the same trick without having to make assumptions such as these when its incorrectly displayed. In many other cases airmon-ng is a handy tool I must admit if you aren't familiar with linux and/or networking in general.
rt2560/rt2500 are the drivers for ralink devices which do not have 802.11n capability, unlike yours. So I would not worry about airmon-ng incorrectly displayed and assumed the chipset/chipset range is detected much different than the driver/chipset of your device.
iwconfig calls the info from the driver, airmon-ng I believe has a set database of specifically matching ralink named chipsets and naming as it sees. In this case its probably because rt3070 isn't on the list (which is rt2870 as many posts from google show, but possibly rt3070 is usb version and rt2870 is pci/pci-e version) it will display the last one on the list/database. Meaning that airmon-ng or aircrack-ng suite hasn't been updated to take on 802.11n devices in the manner of which this specific area has shown.
bt4 pre final does not as yet support rt3070 for I presume modes other than station. This pretty much goes right across the linux distribution because ralink only releases station drivers. Your best bet is to wait for more hacks to appear and see if the work, whether it be upgrading kernel and/or using compat-wireless, etc.
Do keep in mind that rt2870/rt3070 was released much later than bt4 pre-final's release date hence the limited support.

It's a strange new world we live in when Russian leader Vladimir Putin is calling on the US and Europe to unite to end anti-Christian persecution.

Did Amanda Bynes get kicked out of her apartment building?
(NEWSER) – Amanda Bynes' increasingly strange behavior has finally gotten her booted from her apartment, an NYPD source tells In Touch. Days after she was arrested after allegedly throwing a foot-high bong out her window, "movers showed up and removed Amanda's belongings from her apartment," the source says. Bynes "was notified that she is no longer welcome as a tenant in the building in light of recent events."
And she might have been kicked out even without the alleged bong-throwing incident. "Even before her arrest, residents had constant complaints about the smell of marijuana coming from her apartment," the source says. "She had also cursed out residents and the doormen, and the smell of pot from her apartment was really annoying people." Meanwhile, on Twitter, Bynes admitted she recently had a nose job ... and randomly called her dad "as ugly as RuPaul."
My dad is as ugly as RuPaul! So thankful I look nothing like you both! I had nose surgery after my mug shots so my nose and I are gorgeous!— Amanda Bynes (@AmandaBynes) June 2, 2013

Managing offenders within the community requires knowing what inmates are doing at all times. Technology can help.
The Oklahoma Department of Corrections is testing a GPS-based monitoring system that uses GIS (geographic information system)
to analyze patterns of movement of both individuals and groups within the community. The Oklahoma field experiment is called
GeoShadow. NIJ-funded evaluators at Oklahoma University are working with the Department of Corrections to assess its effectiveness.
The toolkit that is part of GeoShadow is designed to let probation officers better assess an offender's location in the community,
identify patterns that lead to problem behavior as it unfolds, and improve corrections-based GPS monitoring systems. Knowing
an offender's movement patterns also helps assess treatment issues and make decisions about early intervention.

The frustrating vagaries of MLS officiating were on display yet again last weekend during the Chivas USA and Galaxy games.
Similar goalkeeping fouls in the pair of Sunday games resulted in penalty kicks yet nevertheless yielded two different disciplinary outcomes for the players involved -- Chivas USA's Dan Kennedy received a straight red card, while Sporting Kansas City's Tally Hall escaped receiving a card of any color at all. | 100% SOCCER BLOG
It's questionable whether either decision was a game changer - Chivas USA were comprehensively outplayed in the 4-0 loss to Kansas City, while the Galaxy were also poor in losing their MLS Cup rematch 1-0 to the Houston Dynamo in Carson.
But the two incidents again underscored the apparent inconsistency of MLS refereeing, widely seen as a blemish on domestic soccer by fans, coaches, players and even the league itself.
Kennedy was sent off in the 54th minute after taking down Paulo Nagamura and denying him a goal-scoring opportunity. Chivas USA, down 1-0 at the time, conceded the ensuing penalty kick and promptly collapsed in what became a four-goal rout.
Hall conceded the first half spot kick in the game against the Galaxy after bringing down Jose Villarreal, but Landon Donovan missed the ensuing penalty kick and the chance to put L.A. ahead in a game they went onto lose by a goal.
You could argue there was more intent to Kennedy's foul than Hall's challenge, which the referee said after the game was not reckless and therefore unworthy of any card, but don't tell that to Galaxy forward Mike Magee.
"I've never seen someone come out and clean someone out on a breakaway and not (get a red card)," Magee said. "He comes out and clobbers him."
But the referee also ruled Villarreal's final touch before being fouled was not going to result in a goal-scoring opportunity, unlike the Kennedy-Nagamura clash.
It was a distinction Galaxy coach Bruce Arena didn't agree with.
"The referee certainly screwed up that play big time," he said. "If he gave a yellow card you can understand that maybe, but remarkably he didn't give a card on the play."
Donovan, who saw little difference in the plays, simply pleaded for consistency.
"I saw a similar play earlier today with Dan Kennedy," Donovan said. "I think if it's not a red card (for Hall), then you don't give a red card in either case. If it's a red card, then you give a red card in both cases. We just want consistency from officials because we see today where no one really knows what the outcome is going to be."
Stuttering Donovan
With his stutter-step penalty miss, Donovan has now missed two consecutive spot kick attempts, consigning the Galaxy to one-goal defeat in each case and the loss of six points.
That's unprecedented for Donovan, who began the year with only three penalty kick misses in his entire MLS career.
But at age 31 and returning from a lengthy offseason layoff after citing burnout, Donovan may have bigger issues. He looked off form, lacked confidence and, perhaps most crucially, was a step or two slow.
Is this a question of conditioning or age?
Even Arena sounded unsure.
"I guess he's a little bit a ways still," Arena said. "I don't know exactly how to answer that, but he obviously has a ways to go."
The Galaxy now head out on a three-game road trip, their longest of year, and don't play in Carson again until the Seattle Sounders visit May 26. ... Lawndale's Kei Kamara has returned to MLS after failing to turn a loan move from Sporting Kansas City into a permanent deal with the EPL club. He could play Wednesday against Seattle.

text: I know the headline sounds like Charlie Sheen has made a serious commitment. You know, dating someone. I think it is fair to say that when Charlie Sheen "dates" it is more like you expect a date with Lindsay Lohan to go. Cash talks. Charlie spent the holidays with porn star Georgia Jones because nothing says the holiday spirit quite like having sex with a woman who made a bazillion porn films by the time she was 24. I love the photo of Charlie kissing the porn star while holding a lit cigarette and a cigar while she holds a cigarette and a beer. It was that kind of holiday. I will also point out that Georgia had no problems with making out with Charlie unlike Lindsay. You would think that for the $100K Charlie gave her, Lindsay could break her rule and at least give him a peck.

BC Volleyball Falls in Straight Sets to Lenoir-Rhyne on Saturday AfternoonOctober 11, 2008
Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College women's volleyball team dropped their second consecutive South Atlantic Conference match on Saturday afternoon, falling in straight sets, 25-16, 25-14 and 25-20 to the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears in Boshamer Gymnasium.
With the loss the Tornados fall to 9-10 overall and 1-7 in the conference, while Lenoir-Rhyne improves to 8-14 and 1-7 in the SAC with the win.
In the first set, Lenoir-Rhyne took their first lead of the set at 4-3 on a BC attack error and never looked back, pushing their lead to as much as eight points at 21-13 on a kill by Lindsey Cantu.
The Tornados struggled offensively, posting a hitting percentage of .000 percent in the first set, ultimately falling 25-16.
Again the two teams stayed even at the start of the second set with a kill by senior Jami Perry giving the Tornados an early 4-3 lead. Lenoir-Rhyne outscored BC 16-7 over the next 23 points to take their largest lead of the set at 19-11.
The Tornados tried to make a late surge, but it wasn't enough as the Bears held of the Tornados to win the set 25-14 and take a 2-0 advantage.
In the third set the Tornados refused to quit and jumped out to an early 7-3 lead on a kill by Perry. The BC lead would last until a Tornado attack error gave the Bears a point and tied the score up at 13-13. The two teams then traded points before a kill by Sam Freese gave Lenoir-Rhyne the lead for good at 17-16, as the Bears outscored the Tornados 9-4 to finish out the set and win the match.
Junior middle hitter and Pre-season Second-Team All-SAC selection Brooke Seaman led the Tornados with nine kills and five total blocks for the afternoon. Freshman outside hitter Chelsea Larsen had eight kills for the match, while Perry dished out 21 set assists.
Lenoir-Rhyne was led by Kassi Henry, who had a match-high 10 kills and three total blocks. Outside hitter Cantu had nine kills and a team-high 12 digs. Setter Hannah Stewart had a match-high 29 assists.
The Tornados will look to bounce back as they will return to action on Wednesday, October 15, when BC will play host to Newberry College at 7 p.m. Lenoir-Rhyne will be back in action on Thursday, October 16, when they will host Belmont Abbey at 7 p.m.

About North Coast
Beyond Napa and Sonoma in the north you find a couple of other counties producing great wine. Among these are Mendocino and Lake County. The northernmost California winegrowing regions, these two counties are right above Napa and Sonoma, geographically. Yet, wine-wise they are very different – both from their southern neighbors and from each other.
Notable FactsMendocino has a high amount of organic vintners and vines. The first winery to settle here was Fetzer, which practices organic viticulture and holds some of the most vineyard land in the area. Mendocino has many pockets of micro-climates while Lake County, being smaller in size, is less diverse climactically. As for the grapes, Chardonnay is the most popular in both counties, but there are also some excellent Sauvignon Blancs, particularly in the Lake County. In red wine, Zinfandel leads the way, followed by Rhone Blends and Petite Sirah. The reds in both counties are complex and sumptuous. Anderson Valley is a sub-AVA of Mendicino and is quite well known for its excellent cool climate, producing the delicious Roederer Estate sparkling wines and some wonderful cool-climate Syrah.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

WSJ Cheers Appellate Court Decision That Allows Businesses To Hide Workers' Rights
Blog ››› ››› SERGIO MUNOZ
The Wall Street Journal applauded another anti-worker decision of the extremely conservative U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and touted its escalating attacks on the National Labor Relations Board.
The D.C. Circuit is considered second only to the Supreme Court in importance because it has jurisdiction over the bulk of challenges to government action and regulations ranging from national security to environmental law. It is currently skewed to the far right, due to a highly successful court-packing effort by the Republican Party. The results have been predictably devastating for government protections that offend big business sensibilities.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) - frequent bogeyman of the right - has been a victim of this ideological bias, and the WSJ highlighted the D.C. Circuit's radical decision invalidating the president's last two nominees to the NLRB when commentating on a more recent judicial "smackdown" of worker rights. From the WSJ:
[T]he D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, ruling in National Association of Manufacturers v. National Labor Relations Board, struck down the NLRB's diktat that businesses put up pro-union posters in the workplace. That, the court said, violated employer free speech rights in place since Congress's 1947 Taft-Hartley Act. It got worse.
Before even getting to the heart of his opinion, Judge A. Raymond Randolph wrote, "Although the parties have not raised it, one issue needs to be resolved before we turn to the merits of the case." That "one issue" is of course the now-famous Noel Canning case, the D.C. Circuit's January opinion which held that President Obama's non-recess recess appointments to the NLRB were illegal, and thus hundreds of past and current NLRB rulings are illegitimate. While the poster rule was not affected by Canning, the appeals court felt the need to remind the NLRB of its current, weak status. Ouch.
The specific case that the WSJ used to attack the legitimacy of the NLRB in general, National Association of Manufacturers, is disturbing in its own right, if sadly typical of an appellate court that has proven to be hostile to regulations that seek to curb corporate excess. Utilizing a strained reading of the First Amendment, the D.C. Circuit held that a NLRB rule that required employers to display a notice informing workers of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) of 1935 impermissibly compelled employer speech.
Because the NLRA is a law that protects workers' right to collectively bargain, any effort to explain it would by necessity have to explain the legality of unions. It was this government advisory of long-standing worker rights that the WSJ smeared as a "diktat that businesses put up pro-union posters." The WSJ did not bother to mention that the notice not only explained "pro-union" law like the NLRA, but also specifically advised that workers can "[c]hoose not to do any of these activities, including joining or remaining a member of a union." Thus, the WSJ is cheering on a D.C. Circuit opinion that isn't just anti-union, but one that keeps employees in the dark altogether.
Beyond the ramifications for an educated workforce, however, it is the First Amendment implications that have court-watchers even more concerned. The compelled speech reasoning that led the D.C. Circuit to uphold the right of employers to block government efforts to advise their employees of statutory rights could easily be extended beyond the NLRA. As reported by Reuters, this finding of an employer's right to not inform its workers of their rights to join - or not join - a union could apply to other public service advisories:
In a decision that could inspire challenges to other mandated workplace postings, a federal appeals court has found that a National Labor Relations Board rule requiring employers to notify workers of a right to unionize violated protected speech rights.
Jeffrey Hirsch, a law professor at the University of North Carolina and a former NLRB attorney, said that employers could apply the court's rationale to challenge other workplace notices mandated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Occupational Safety Health Administration.
"But there may not be as much hunger to go after those notices," he said. "They've been around for decades and everybody is used to them."
But Hirsch's optimism that anti-regulatory advocates might be shy from using the D.C. Circuit's roadmaps for challenging government action appears to be belied by the Noel Canning opinion that the WSJ praised, an opinion completely unnecessary for the holding of National Association of Manufacturers. Instead, citing Noel Canning served no purpose rather than as a reminder of Republican success at fueling a judicial vacancy crisis and overturning precedent.
Taking advantage of Democratic compromise during the last administration to confirm very conservative judges to the court, the GOP has now engaged in unprecedented obstruction of all of the current president's judicial nominees, a blockade that has kept the D.C. Circuit controlled by Republican appointees. The infamous Noel Canning opinion is perhaps the prime example of the D.C. Circuit's subsequent anti-regulatory tear. Reaching beyond its normal fare of gutting the intent of progressive legislation and striking down accompanying regulations, Noel Canning took it upon itself to reinterpret the recess appointment powers under the Constitution, thereby rendering suspect hundreds of recess appointments and untold decisions of these appointees dating back centuries.
The D.C. Circuit's Noel Canning reference was basically just an invitation for more challenges to NLRB decisions, a call that has already been heeded. This new anti-worker decision, therefore, is the least of labor's problems. The pressing need to confirm a more balanced judiciary - especially on the D.C. Circuit - once again becomes self-evident for everyone concerned about corporate control of the courts.

Final Results (PDF)
REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. –The Penn men's golf team rolled to the team title, and senior captain P.J. Fielding took medalist honors at the Quakers' Rehoboth Beach Fall Invitational. The 36-hole event was held Monday at the Kings Creek Country Club, which played 6,480 yards at par-71.
Penn shot 296 on Monday morning and followed up with a 282 in the afternoon, finishing at 578 to defeat second-place Monmouth by 21 strokes. Saint Francis (Pa.) was third, at 600, while Mount St. Mary's was fourth at 603.
"I was very proud of my team yesterday at the Rehoboth Beach Fall Invite," said Head Coach Bob Heintz. "With an individual victory by P.J. Fielding, a tie for second by P.J. Collier, a tie for fourth from Ben Cooley, and top-20 finishes from Tomas Agrest and Geoff Locher, we showed great depth and toughness up and down the lineup. We also played 14 shots better in the second round of the day after a mediocre morning effort. To shoot minus-2 as a team in the afternoon on a challenging, narrow layout like Kings Creek was a fine accomplishment, and ultimately separated us from the pack. I am hoping we can build on this and ride some momentum into next week's event in Virginia."
Fielding rolled to the individual title, shooting a first-round 68 and following up with a 69 in the second round to finish at 137 which was seven strokes ahead of the rest of the field. FreshmanCollier tied Monmouth's Ian Thimble for second; Collier shot 75 in the first round and matched Fielding with a second-round 69 for a two-round total of 144.
Cooleycontinued his hot play from Penn's first tournament, shooting a first-round 76 but coming back as Penn's third player under 70 in the second round with a 69. His two-round 145 had him tied for fourth in the field with La Salle's Tyler Fewall and Monmouth's Brady Goodling.
Agrest was fourth in the lineup with a 77-76--153, which tied him for 16th overall, while sophomore Austin Powell carded 85-75--160 and tied for 34th. Two Penn players were in the field as individuals -- Locher, a senior,shot 75-76--151 and tied for 13th overall, while freshman Patrick O'Leary carded 81-78--159 and finished 33rd.
Penn is at the Patriot Classic this weekend, a 54-hole event that will be played Saturday and Sunday in Lorton, Va.

Rush (mis)reads the news: Following pattern of distortion, Limbaugh contorts global warming article to falsely accuse NY Times of liberal bias
Research ››› ››› JEREMY SCHULMAN
Following his familiar pattern of distorting newspaper reports in order to construct a picture of alleged liberal bias, nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh falsely charged on his August 26 show that The New York Times had deliberately mischaracterized a climatologist's views to "further the agenda" of those who believe "the Bush administration is not going far enough to find reasons to blame humanity for global warming."
On August 23, the Times reported that Colorado State University atmospheric science professor Roger A. Pielke Sr. recently resigned from a committee of the Bush administration's Climate Change Science Program (CCSP), which is preparing to issue a report on atmospheric temperature trends. But the Times incorrectly described Pielke as "[a] scientist who has long disagreed with the dominant view that global warming stems mainly from human activity."
Beginning with an August 23 post on his Climate Science weblog, Pielke objected to this characterization and explained that he does, in fact, believe that human activities -- including the release of greenhouse gases -- contribute to global warming. On August 25, The Fort Collins Coloradoan accurately reported Pielke's objections to the Times article. The Coloradoan reported that Pielke "left the committee in a disagreement about views presented in a chapter for which he was the lead author." On his weblog, Pielke also cited as reasons for his resignation "an improper narrowing of the focus of the CCSP" committee and "the premature reporting of selected versions from the report to the media and policymakers prior to its actual finalization and public release."
On August 26, Limbaugh read portions of the Coloradoan article on the air, correctly pointing out that it described an error on the part of the Times. But Limbaugh grossly misrepresented the Coloradoan's explanation of the error in the Times story. According to Limbaugh, the Times had falsely claimed that Pielke resigned from the CCSP committee because he believed strongly that humans cause global warming. But as the Coloradoan clearly noted, the Times had actually -- and erroneously -- reported that Pielke was a skeptic of the idea that humans cause global warming -- exactly the opposite of what Limbaugh claimed.
As the Coloradoan article explained, Pielke "took exception to the Times' characterization that, as a scientist, he has 'long disagreed with the dominant view that global warming stems mainly from human activity,' as written in the lead paragraph of the [Times] article." Although Limbaugh read this quote on the air, he went on to insist:
LIMBAUGH: Bottom line is, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago -- The New York Times could lie about this guy [Pielke] and thereby create an impression that the lead guy on Bush's environmental team quit because he disagrees with Bush and because he thinks the Bush administration is not going far enough to find reasons to blame humanity for global warming and that would have been it. This guy could have called The New York Times, demanded a retraction, he would have not gotten it, and that would have been it. The difference today is that when The New York Times or any other news organization lies about someone, there is plenty of opportunity for them to go and correct the record when the original publication that made the error will not touch it anymore. And this is, this is such a great thing.
It is exposing that they have an agenda. It is exposing that they will lie to further the agenda. It is exposing that they will misquote and take out of context to further the agenda.
The Coloradoan article that Limbaugh read also quoted the August 23 post on Pielke's weblog, in which he wrote, "The reference to my perspective and to the reasons I resigned from the Committee are mischaracterized and erroneous in the New York Times article." The Times has since published a correction, which it also attached to the version of the story on its website.
In the same post, Pielke took issue with the Times' assertion that he believed that landscape changes, rather than greenhouse gas emissions, are responsible for global warming. On his weblog, Pielke wrote, "This is a completely bogus statement of my conclusions on climate." He argued that global warming is a complicated issue and that "[l]andscape change is only one of a number of climate forcings." The Coloradoan reprinted this quote in a passage that Limbaugh did not read to his listeners.
Pielke further explained on his weblog that, contrary to the Times' characterization, he indeed believes that human-produced greenhouse gases result in global warming:
The well documented increases of atmospheric concentration of CO2 [carbon dioxide] are due to anthopogenic [sic] emissions of this gas. This comes from vehicles, industry, biomass burning and other sources of combustion. CO2 warms the Earth's climate system radiatively (i.e. it is a global warming effect).
Though Limbaugh claimed that Pielke's success in correcting the record is an example of how the availability of weblogs "is exposing that they [the Times] will lie to further the agenda," Pielke himself does not appear to agree. On August 26, an hour-and-a-half before Limbaugh's broadcast, Pielke posted his response to an email he had received from the author of the Times article, Andrew Revkin. Apparently satisfied with Revkin's email, Pielke suggested that Revkin's errors were the result of a "miscommunication between both of us." He added:
It is clear now that the misrepresentation of my views on climate change in the NY times [sic] article were entirely inadvertent. There was no political or other motive, which needs to be recognized by everyone. The politicizing of the disagreement on other blogs and in the media that has occurred is completely inappropriate.
A continuing pattern of distorted news stories, imagined liberal bias
Limbaugh's misreading of news articles to find supposedly hidden political motives goes well beyond global warming. Recently, he has used this practice to falsely accuse journalists of liberal bias in their coverage of Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. On August 12, for example, Limbaugh claimed that the Associated Press had labeled Roberts an anti-Semite. But as Media Matters for America documented, the AP did no such thing.
Similarly, on August 17, Limbaugh blasted The Washington Post for what he said was the paper's accusation that Bush administration lawyers stole a file containing documents written by Roberts during the Reagan administration. After reading the first few sentences of an August 17 article, Limbaugh charged:
LIMBAUGH: So you have four stories in The Washington Post today about what a rotten conservative Roberts is, and what a bunch of sneaks the lawyers are who stole some papers from the Reagan library, which obviously proves the guy's a racist. Because they're about affirmative action.
Limbaugh read, but apparently ignored, a sentence that noted: "Archivists said the lawyers returned the file but it now cannot be located." He did not, however, read three paragraphs in which Post staff writers Jeffrey Smith and Jo Becker reported that archivists were accepting responsibility for losing the file:
Nonetheless, [assistant archivist for presidential libraries Sharon] Fawcett said, "we are quite confident that the records were returned to us." Asked why, she said that while the attendant does not recall seeing the affirmative action file in question put back, the marker was not in the box after the lawyers departed. "It would have been very difficult, given the circumstances in the room," for the lawyers to have retained the file because they were separated from their bags, she said.
Instead, the folder was evidently lost later when all of the Roberts documents were transferred to new, acid-free folders and reorganized in anticipation of their disclosure to the Senate and news media.
It is "very difficult to believe it's anyone other than ourselves responsible for this loss," Fawcett said.
Moreover, Limbaugh's claim that the article insinuated that "the guy's a racist" appears to be based solely on the fact that, as the Post correctly reported, the missing documents pertained to affirmative action. However, the article contained no suggestions or implications about Roberts's personal views on race.

Dementia and driving
If your loved one has dementia, deciding when they can no longer drive is a difficult decision. They may react in different ways:
- They may be aware they are having problems, and they may be relieved to stop driving.
- They may feel their independence is being taken away.
Signs that Driving May No Longer Be Safe
People with signs of dementia should have regular driving tests. Even if they pass a driving test, they should be retested in 6 months.
If your loved one resists you getting involved in their driving, get help from their health care provider, lawyer, or other family members.
Even before you see driving problems in someone with dementia, look for these signs that they may be at risk for driving badly:
- Forgetting recent events
- Mood swings or getting angry more easily
- Problems doing more than one task at a time
- Problems judging distance
- Having trouble making decisions and solving problems
- Becoming confused more easily
Signs that driving may be getting more dangerous are:
- Getting lost on familiar roads
- Reacting more slowly in traffic
- Driving too slowly or stopping for no reason
- Not noticing traffic signs or not paying attention to them
- Taking chances on the road
- Drifting into other lanes
- Getting more agitated in traffic
- Getting scrapes or dents on the car
- Having trouble parking
Steps to Take
It may help to set limits when driving problems start. Stay off busy roads, or do not drive at times of the day when traffic is heaviest.
Do not drive when the weather is bad. Do not drive long distances. Drive only on roads the patient is used to.
Caregivers should try to lessen the person's need to drive without making them feel isolated. Have someone deliver groceries, meals, or prescriptions to their home. Find a barber or hairdresser who will make home visits. Arrange for family and friends to visit and take them out for a few hours at a time.
Plan other ways to get your loved one places. Family members or friends, buses, taxis, and senior transportation services may be possibilities.
As danger to others or to your loved one increases, you may need to prevent to them from being able to use the car. Some ways to do this are:
- Hiding the keys
- Leaving out car keys that will not start the car
- Disabling the car so it will not start
- Selling the car
- Storing the care away from the home
