International News U.K., Gates Foundation Award Grant Money for Microbicide ResearchFebruary 24, 2009 The British government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation recently awarded more than 90 million British pounds -- almost $130 million -- in grant money to continue development on microbicides for HIV prevention, London's Times reports. The grant follows the results from a clinical trial of an experimental microbicide, called PRO 2000 and developed by Indevus Pharmaceuticals (Lister, Times, 2/23). Research presented earlier this month suggests that the vaginal gel is 30% effective in preventing HIV infection, though the findings were not statistically significant. A second, larger clinical trial -- involving 9,000 women and led by teams in Tanzania, South Africa and Uganda -- is expected to finish in August, with results reported by November (Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report, 2/10).

Diana Mini Tips #2
08:16As promised I finally scanned more of my Diana Mini photos (more on my lomography homepage). I've had this lot sitting around for AGES waiting to be scanned (sorry I'm so hopeless at getting scanning done).
I took them way back when my brother did a photo shoot for Hopeless....and you might recognise the model is the lovely Esme and the lane way who also happens to be on the cover of the current issue of Peppermint Magazine!
Anyways some more learning's and tips I've gotten from using the Diana Mini. I've now owned two versions both the original blue/black and the white.
- Film Advance: One of the main complaints for the Diana Mini is the film advance. I have had trouble with the film advance, I've learn NOT to force it because you will tear the film. The white version has improved film advance compared to the original blue/black. But still the white version tricks you into thinking you have advanced it enough and you havent and your film will come back completely overlapped with double or triple exposures. So my advice. The best you can do is either fix the film advance following this tutorial... or advance the film each time until you feel a bit of tension. That is usually enough to be on the next frame.Dont let it worry you out of using it though...after a few rolls of film you will get the hang of how to work it.
- Indoors: I haven't had any luck taking indoors photos - unless I use the flash. But personally I'm not really into using the flash, I prefer natural light. I tried a higher speed film (800 ISO) but that only came back super grainy. I guess you could also try a tripod and the bulb 'B' setting if you really wanted to do indoor photos but I haven't worried with it.
- Film & Light: I stick to using 200 or 400 ISO film and take photos in daylight for best results. My current favourite film is the Lomography 400 ISO colour.
- Diana Mini tips part #1 - I wrote this after my first few rolls of film through the Diana Mini

These are so beautiful, you are actually one of the most talented lomography shooters I've ever seen!
From Carys of La Ville InconnueThese are so lovely. I really love the softness dreamlike aspect of it. You're so right about the film advance! It's really tricky. I always get nervous about advancing the film because it feels like it's being forced too much and destroy the whole film.
Would love to see more of your work posted :)
Big dinosaur hugs,
Sisilia http://twonerdsinapod.blogspot.comThese are absolutely gorgeous, Liss. The Diana Mini seems like it really belongs in your hands. I've been thinking about getting one for a while now. I was going to ask you if you recommend a camera like this for my little sister, but judging from the tips I don't think it would suit a 7 year old who just wants to push the button. So I got her an instax camera instead.

This blog has made my morning (and put off my university work until this afternoon!). Have decided to buy a Diana Mini for the coming summer and to go mad - thank you for the inspiration!

FOREST CITY, Iowa – Winnebago County voters will head back to the polls this November to vote again on a new public safety center.
The county board of supervisors has approved a $4.5 million bond referendum on a 16,444 square foot facility that will include the county sheriff's office, E9-1-1 emergency management and a 22 bed jail. The Forest City Police Department will not be a part of the proposed building.
Voters turned down a referendum to spend over $5 million on a new public safety center in March. This proposal is smaller and less expensive. Winnebago County Supervisor Terry Durby says "It is a minimal bare bones facility that will meet the current needs of the county."
The new referendum will be on the November 4 general election ballot.

The unidentified body may be that of Hannah's missing little brother.
Authorities have said the 40-year-old DiMaggio had what they term an "unusual infatuation" with the 16-year-old.
Police previously warned that the car may have been abandoned and rigged with explosives. Evidence found in the rubble suggested DiMaggio may have fled with homemade explosives.

DiMaggio told Hannah Anderson a couple months ago he had a crush on her and would date her if they were the same age, said Marissa Chavez, 15, a friend who witnessed the remarks when DiMaggio was driving them home from a gymnastics competition. Chavez said Hannah was "a little creeped out by it."
DiMaggio argued with Hannah when he took her alone to Hollywood to celebrate her 16th birthday last month, Chavez said.

Zacks Industry Rank Analysis Highlights: Columbia Banking System, Western Alliance Bancorporation, Bridge Capital Holdings and Bank of Hawaii
Mar 15, 2013, 09:30 ET from Zacks Investment Research, Inc.
CHICAGO, March 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Stocks featured in this week's Zacks Industry Rank analysis include Columbia Banking System, Inc. (Nasdaq: COLB), Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE: WAL), Bridge Capital Holdings (Nasdaq: BBNK) and Bank of Hawaii Corporation (NYSE: BOH).
Zacks Industry Rank Analysis is written by John Blank, PhD, Chief Equity Strategist, Zacks.com.
Take a Look at Western Banks
Inside this West Region Bank industry are 41 banks. There have been 15 positive revisions to annual earnings recently, and only 4 negative revisions.
What really struck me is 19 of 41 banks in this group have a Zacks Rank of #1 or #2. Half of West Region banks are ranked at a Buy or Strong Buy based on earnings estimates. That has to mean a strong set of positive, regional economic undercurrents is in play, which an investor can benefit from.
This Western region does benefit disproportionately from a number of positive economic trends inside the USA.
- Housing construction and home prices are now rising well above the national average. Industrial, Retail and commercial has rebounded too.
- The IT industry is concentrated on the West Coast.
- This region enjoys demographic growth above the national trend.
- Throw in fresh support from strong positive job growth numbers. This was one of this region's concentrated problem areas.
In light of all positive trends, this region's banking system stands to reason as a place to find a good stock.
Take a read through the following brief descriptions of four candidates. I chose each one based on its current Zacks Rank (#1 or #2) and Zacks Rating (Outperform), its diverse location, and overall sentiment scores.
I also wanted banks that reflect well the underlying fundamental trends in play.
Note that Q1-2013 quarterly reporting arrives for these banks in the third week of April -- a month away.
Columbia Banking System, Inc. (Nasdaq: COLB)
Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) with an Outperform rating. This bank offers a dividend yield of 2.0%, and +14% EPS growth over the last five years. It reports quarterly earnings on April 24, 2013.
COLB is a registered bank holding company whose wholly owned subsidiary, Columbia State Bank, It conducts a full-service commercial banking business.
Headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, the company provides a full range of banking services to small and medium-sized businesses, professionals and other individuals through banking offices located in the Tacoma metropolitan area and contiguous parts of the Puget Sound region of Washington, as well as the Longview and Woodland communities in southwestern Washington.
Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE: WAL)
Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) with an Outperform rating. The bank has seen notable consensus earnings estimate revisions over the last 30 days. It reports earnings on April 18, 2013.
WAL is the parent company of BankWest of Nevada, Alliance Bank of Arizona, Torrey Pines Bank, Miller/Russell & Associates, and Premier Trust. These dynamic companies provide a broad array of banking, leasing, trust, investment, and mortgage services to clients in Nevada, Arizona and California.
Staffed with experienced financial professionals, these organizations deliver a broader product array and larger credit capacity than community banks, yet are empowered to be more responsive to customers' needs than larger institutions.
Bridge Capital Holdings (Nasdaq: BBNK)
Zacks Rank #2 with an Outperform Rating, but it was a Zacks Rank #1 a week ago. Small Cap Value stock. Supports the Info Tech business in the Bay area. NO dividend. It reports earnings on April 25. 2013.
BBNK is the holding company for Bridge Bank, a full-service business bank that is dedicated to meeting the financial needs of small and middle-market, and emerging technology businesses in the Silicon Valley, Palo Alto, Sacramento, San Diego, and Fresno business communities. Bridge Bank provides clients with a comprehensive package of business banking solutions delivered through experienced and professional bankers.
Bank of Hawaii Corporation (NYSE: BOH)
Zacks Rank #2 with a Neutral rating. Unlike the other banks above, it offers a healthy 3.6% dividend. It reports on April 22, 2013.
BOH is a regional financial services company serving businesses, consumers and governments in Hawaii, American Samoa and the West Pacific. The company's principal subsidiary, Bank of Hawaii, was founded in 1897 and is the largest independent financial institution in Hawaii.

Official says sounds of police activity halted his rampage
NEWTOWN, Conn. — The gunman in the Connecticut shooting rampage was carrying an arsenal of hundreds of rounds of especially deadly ammunition — enough to kill just about every student in the school if given enough time, authorities said Sunday, raising the chilling possibility that the bloodbath could have been far worse.
Adam Lanza shot himself in the head just as he heard police drawing near to the classroom where he was slaughtering helpless children, but he had more ammunition at the ready in the form of multiple, high-capacity clips each capable of holding 30 bullets.
Gov. Dan Malloy said the shooter decided to kill himself when he heard police closing in about 10 minutes into the attack.
"We surmise that it was during the second classroom episode that he heard responders coming and apparently at that decided to take his own life," Malloy said on ABC's This Week.
Police said they found hundreds of unused bullets at the school, which enrolled about 450 students in kindergarten through fourth grade.
"There was a lot of ammo, a lot of clips," said state police Lt. Paul Vance. "Certainly a lot of lives were potentially saved."
The chief medical examiner has said the ammunition was the type designed to break up inside a victim's body and inflict the maximum amount of damage, tearing apart bone and tissue.
Newtown officials couldn't say whether Sandy Hook Elementary School would ever reopen. The district was considering sending students to an empty school in nearby Monroe.
Also Sunday, a Connecticut official said the gunman's mother was found dead in her pajamas in bed, shot four times in the head with a .22-caliber rifle. The killer then went to the school with guns he took from his mother, got inside by breaking a window and began blasting his way through the building.
Federal agents have concluded that Lanza visited an area shooting range, but they do not know whether he actually practiced shooting there.
Ginger Colburn, a spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, would not identify the range or say how recently he was there.
Investigators have offered no motive for the shooting, and police have found no letters or diaries that could shed light on it.

* Not a teacher
Flat means that the track is plain (no hurdles, no uphill/downhill etc.). (1st example)
Sorry, I might have misinterpreted your question, I was a little bit confused by the context.
Retired Academic
Why do we use "flat" to mean "exactly" or "and no more", as in "He finished the race in 4 minutes flat" or "I'll be there in nothing flat"? What is "flat" about an exact time span?

I think entry 5 here provides some insight into this - Flat | Define Flat at Dictionary.com. I mean, in a way "flat" does mean "exactly" - you are just talking about its figurative meaning vs. literal.
I accept that words take on extended meanings through figurative and metaphorical usage. What I'm curious about is how the basic meaning of "flat" came to be associated with 'precision' or 'exactness', and particularly in relation to time span or duration. I've never heard it applied to quantity of space or number (*I paid five dollars flat.* / *From here to there is two miles flat.*) Why just time, and how does 'flatness' relate to time, and what aspect of flatness aids my understanding of precision or exactness?
I believe it comes from volume versus time measurements in some industry in which piles were made. A flat bushel of grain, or a flat vessel of sand, is more exact than a hilly shaped pile. Perhaps in sand timers the term was expanded to include time measurements, and then the other volume measures fell out of general public use. In French, the equivalent is "cinq heures pile" or "Five o'clock 'pile'" meaning flat, or exact.
I think the same. In that case it states that it lasted exactly 4 minutes.
The "4 minutes flat" has been covered but I'm surprised no-one has mentioned "I'll be there in nothing flat". I have never heard that usage at all. If I were telling someone that I would arrive very quickly, or in a very short period of time, I would say "I'll be there in no time at all". I have never heard your example.
Probably means the same as "I'll be there pronto.'

#76 Great
That was gorgeous! I could feel the song and the music pouring out of your every movement! Great job!
#74 me too
I dance there too and we have great choreography and we are good..and we do mix old style with the new...I agree and other studios like us too!
#73 What ??
The choreographers from this studio are amazing. They have won countless choreography awards from many competitions. All of their dances have GREAT use of stage. I find it very interesting that judges on a regional and national level have have given this studio so many top awards. I guess you are entitled to your opinion.
#72 running!
wow she does run alot... I noticed quite a few girls from that studio with a large percentage of running in their solos...how odd!!
#71 disagree
This is my sister...this number was truly choreographed for our grandmother who lived with us and passed away 2 days before Heather had to compete in Vegas finals. She is a pro and one of her dances still won top number of the entire competition. Also, If you know anything about dancing...it is more than just tricks..which by the way she can do :o)
This was ok but I dont think it was worth 451 votes maybe if you learned to dance a little more instead of running back and forth across the stage it would be better

But being rubbished by Cowell is the whole point of American Idol, and the reason the show has been the biggest thing on TV for the past five years. Each successive season seems to tap into a vaster ferment of delusion, a wilder and more desperate underworld of gibbering no-talents, and it has fallen to Cowell alone to sort them out. Randy is too impermeably jovial, Paula too scattered and all-mothering; only nasty Simon can deal the death blow. "Your future involves not singing," he promised one teenager, a spotty boy who had augmented his vocal performance by dismally hopping about with some feathered juggling sticks. The boy came roaring out of the audition room with tears and curses — "Fuck him! [bleeped, of course, by Fox] He said that I sum up Minneapolis! That it's my fault Minneapolis has no talent!" — but even here (poor kid!) one could see the justice of it: Cowell had stung him into life, out of the drabness of his dreaming and into full-color reality.
Cowell is no respecter of the vulnerable, and as well as inducing paroxysms of piety in his show-biz peers ("The whole thing, it's terribly sad to me," lamented Rosie O'Donnell recently), his cruelty has spawned a secondary industry of victimhood. Special Olympian Jonathan Jayne and his equally special friend Kenneth Briggs — described by Cowell as looking "like one of those creatures that live in the jungle with those massive eyes" — got booted off Idol straight onto the couches of The View, where their hurt feelings were massaged by the ladies. Then Jimmy Kimmel sent them to the Super Bowl. The aforementioned Ian Benardo was interviewed by Larry King, as was Chris Henry, whose pure castrato voice had moved Cowell to suggest that he should be singing "in a dress and stilettos." (Growled Larry: "Was that rude, Chris?") Cowell is also reliably lecherous. When a shapely contestant leaves the audition room, his eyes make a quick dip asswards — the camera never fails to catch it.
Without him, though, all would be chaos. In our lifetimes we have seen the abolition of ordinariness. No more middle ground — if not Fame, nothing. Give me Idolhood or give me death. They flirt, they plead, they scream: "I'm begging you on my knees . . . I'll do anything . . . I've worked so hard . . . If I don't get this, that means I was WRONG! Please! PLEASE!"
No, says Simon. That's a No. Their eyes jolt, they struggle for oxygen. In the words of Ted Hughes, "Collision with the earth has finally come." They stagger out, consigned to the hell of nonentity, into the arms of Ryan Toothpaste. Not all of them come apart, of course: some, like the man who dressed as a boxer and sang opera, or like "Pantherman" from the auditions in Los Angeles, are invincible fantasists, and a good Cowelling only tunes them up. These ones are easy to spot; they come cartwheeling in, high-fiving the universe, mad saints of self-belief. Here no corrective will suffice: with these ones, nothing can be done.

Prazosin and polythiazide (patient information)
- 2 Why is this medication prescribed
- 3 How should this medicine be used
- 4 What special precautions should I follow
- 5 What special dietary instructions should I follow
- 6 What should I do if I forget a dose
- 7 Side effects

Prazosin and polythiazide should not be the first medicine you use for high blood pressure. Your medications must be carefully adjusted to treat high blood pressure. If you have not been on any medication for high blood pressure before prazosin and polythiazide, check with your doctor again before taking it.
Why is this medication prescribed
The combination of prazosin and polythiazide is used to treat high blood pressure. It is a combination of two medicines. Prazosin, an alpha-block antihypertensive, works by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily through the body. Polythiazide, a thiazide diuretic ('water pill'), causes the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
How should this medicine be used
The combination of prazosin and polythiazide comes as a capsule to take by mouth. It is usually taken two to three times a day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take prazosin and polythiazide exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
The combination of prazosin and polythiazide controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Continue to take prazosin and polythiazide even if you feel well. Do not stop taking prazosin and polythiazide without talking to your doctor.
What special precautions should I follow
Before taking prazosin and polythiazide:
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to prazosin, polythiazide, other thiazide drugs, chlorothiazide, sulfa drugs, doxazosin, terazosin, or any other drugs.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Nuprin) or Naproxen (Aleve); beta-adrenergic blockers such as atenolol (Tenormin), carteolol (Cartrol), labetalol (Normodyne, Trandate), metoprolol (Lopressor), nadolol (Corgard), propranolol (Inderal), sotalol (Betapace), and timolol (Blocadren); clonidine (Catapres); corticosteroids (such as prednisone [Deltasone, Orasone, others], betamethasone [Celestone], cortisone [Cortone], dexamethasone [Decadron, others], hydrocortisone, or methylprednisolone [Medrol, Solu-Medrol, others]); guanadrel (Hylorel); guanethidine (Ismelin); indomethacin (Indocin); lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid), medications for diabetes; other medications for high blood pressure; probenecid (Benemid); reserpine (Serpalan, Serpasil); verapamil (Calan); and vitamins and herbal products.
- tell your doctor if you have or have ever had asthma; liver, thyroid, or kidney disease; high cholesterol; diabetes; gout; difficulty urinating; or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking prazosin and polythiazide, call your doctor immediately.
- if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking prazosin and polythiazide.
- you should know that this drug may make you drowsy or dizzy. Do not drive a car or operate machinery for 24 hours after the first time you take prazosin and polythiazide or after your dose is increased.
- remember that alcohol can add to the drowsiness caused by this drug.
- plan to avoid unnecessary or prolonged exposure to sunlight and to wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen. *Prazosin and polythiazide may make your skin sensitive to sunlight.
- you should know that this drug may make you dizzy when you get up from sitting or laying down. Be sure you get up slowly.
What special dietary instructions should I follow
Follow your doctor's directions. They may include following a daily exercise program or a low-salt or low-sodium diet, potassium supplements, and increased amounts of potassium-rich foods (e.g., bananas, prunes, raisins, and orange juice) in your diet.
What should I do if I forget a dose
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. Check with your doctor if you have missed two or more doses.
Side effects
Mild side effects
Prazosin and polythiazide may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- dizziness
- drowsiness
- weakness
- tiredness
- blurred vision
- ringing in the ears
- stuffy nose
- bloody nose
- headache

What storage conditions are needed for this medicine
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of emergency/overdose
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
What other information should I know
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your blood pressure should be checked regularly to determine your response to prazosin and polythiazide.
Before having laboratory tests, tell your doctor and the laboratory personnel that you are taking prazosin and polythiazide. This drug interferes with some laboratory tests.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
Brand names

What we have here is a used uDAC-2 (not the asynchronous USB or tacky gold-plated version). I bought the original uDAC a few years back, and bought the uDAC-2 upgrade kit as soon as it was released.
I swapped out the original uDAC board for the uDAC-2 board that's in there now with the official Nuforce upgrade kit, been using it since.
No cosmetic blemishes, works fine. I'm the original owner. Since you guys are responsible for my upgrade to a Dr. DAC 2 I figured I'd let you have a crack it it before it goes to eBay/Amazon
Includes the USB cable that came with it, and I'm throwing in the original uDAC board from the upgrade since I don't need it. Might be good for a DIY project or something.
$75 USD shipped USPS w/tracking, CONUS, Paypal only, I'll deal with any fees.
EDIT: Would consider swapping for a Grado SR60/80.

Sometimes Facebook can be an amazing support network and a way to connect with other moms for friendship and parenting advice. Other times it can turn into another battleground for the mommy wars.
Parenting has changed so much since our parents' generation, and social media plays a huge role in that change. It's hard to imagine parenting without around-the-clock access to much needed parenting advice, information, and the ability to connect with other moms. As a society, we have never been more interconnected, but the way we connect via social media outlets like Facebook can be both a blessing and a curse.
Kirk Voss, a Utah-based licensed marriage and family therapist says that Facebook can provide moms with a sense of connection and community. Voss says that it is human nature to seek out a sense of security, validation, and a feeling of being loved and appreciated. "Women, whether working from home or raising children, or both, very often seek those three things through a social connection with other women — and that's where Facebook becomes so meaningful for moms." Voss says, "They can connect with a community of other moms, nearby or distant, and feel a sense of validation, empathy, confidence, reassurance and appreciation."
Tina Hakala, mother of three in Michigan, loves the feeling of connectedness that Facebook provides her. "Connecting with other moms on Facebook has most definitely made me a better mother. It has increased my patience, given me a host of lactation consultants and midwives to get advice from, and it makes me feel like I'm not alone in this crazy, wonderful whirlwind of parenting."
To moms who are feeling like they are the only ones pulling their hair out at the end of the day, seeing Facebook posts by other moms can be comforting. "Facebook puts things in perspective for me when other parents rant about losing their minds. It makes me relax and be more patient with my own kids," Hakala says.
Voss says that Facebook can be a good outlet for a mom to share her feelings and experiences with a community of people who know exactly what she is going through. He adds, "Almost instantly, moms can hear words of encouragement, reassurances that things will work out, suggestions for almost any parenting dilemma, and most importantly, words of empathy and validation when life gets hard." The feeling that we're all in this together is what brings many moms to Facebook day after day.
While some moms view Facebook as an invaluable tool in their parenting arsenal, other moms see it more negatively. Cristina Wong, mom to one in Arizona, thinks that Facebook can be a source of unnecessary drama: "Topics that would have never come up in regular conversation come up on Facebook, and responses are there for everyone to see."
Wong says she has lost friends over disagreements on Facebook. "I find that people say things in ways they never would face-to-face and have no problem gathering a lynch mob when they disagree on a topic." In the world of Facebook, it can be easy for moms to broadcast opinions on hot-button topics, leading to another battle in the so-called mommy wars.
"Sometimes we start out wanting very simple advice on a certain topic, and the comments that follow can become overwhelming, depressing, or unhelpful," cautions Voss. Unsolicited advice from others can often leave us feeling lectured or judged, rather than supported.
Andrea Engelman, mom of two, thinks it's possible to discuss parenting topics and still keep it friendly. "Remember that everyone only wants the best for their children, even if we might disagree on what's best. Sometimes we might even learn something from someone we previously disagreed with," Engelman says.
Voss points out that it is important to keep our Facebook relationships in perspective. "While Facebook can be a fun, comforting and bonding network, it shouldn't become our main source of connection." Facebook should be a means to supplement our interactions with other people, and not completely replace that social connection.

The researchers, led by Lilian Calderón-Garcidueñas of the National Institute of Paediatrics, in Mexico City, and the University of Montana, studied a group of 30 children aged 7 or 8 who had lived in Mexican cities their whole lives. Some came from Mexico City, a place known for its extremely high levels of air pollutants, while others lived in Polotitlán, a city with a strong air quality rating.
The researchers tracked the children for two years, using an array of tools — including brain scans — to measure volume of white matter, neuroinflammation, and cognitive performance in the youths. They found that the brains of kids from cleaner Polotitlán looked healthier than those of Mexico City children, and performed better too. On tests of complex reasoning, knowledge integration, and verbal and working memory skills, the Mexico City kids scored lower than did the other children. The researchers conclude:
Children who appeared to be healthy and had no risk factors for neurological or cognitive deficits, but who are residents in a highly polluted atmosphere, exhibited selective impairment in IQ subscales tapping on attention, short term memory and learning abilities. ...
If cognitive abilities are reduced during the critical childhood developmental years as a result of air pollution, it will have enormous detrimental effects on society.
While scientists have a good sense of how city smog harms the lungs and the heart, its impact on brain functioning has been poorly understood until late. The recent work of Calderón-Garcidueñas and others in her field is starting to inform this knowledge gap. In a study from 2008, Calderón-Garcidueñas and colleagues found that 56 percent of otherwise healthy Mexico City kids had lesions of the prefrontal cortex, compared with less than 8 percent of youths from a low-polluted region. At a recent professional meeting, covered by science reporter Janet Raloff, Calderón-Garcidueñas noted a troubling similarity between the types of brain abnormalities she's finding and the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease.

Finding the ideal location for the FRITZ!Box
Placing the FRITZ!Box in the ideal location lays the foundation for a stable and fast wireless network in your home network. Smartphone and tablet users are especially dependent upon solid wireless reception. Since they change location often, ideally the wireless network should cover all rooms. This means that you must select a location for the FRITZ!Box where the range of the wireless network is not already limited by certain factors. The following can be used as guidelines:
- If possible, position the FRITZ!Box in a room that is centrally located. The FRITZ!Box has omnidirectional antennas; this means that the signal is emitted spherically in all directions, and the FRITZ!Box is located in the middle of this sphere.
- Do not position the FRITZ!Box directly in the corner of a room.
- Position the FRITZ!Box so that it is as unobstructed as possible, i.e. not directly in back of or under an obstacle such as pieces of furniture or a heater.
- Position the FRITZ!Box as high in the room as possible, for example on a shelf.
- Position the FRITZ!Box so that there are as few obstacles as possible between it and the other wireless devices. In particular, metallic objects or objects containing water (for example a refrigerator, radiator, houseplants) significantly reduce the quality of the wireless signal.
- Position the FRITZ!Box so that it is away from other transmitters (for example microwaves, baby monitors, wireless speakers, Bluetooth devices).

Applying to middle school in New York City is usually not just as simple as enrolling in your neighborhood school. Many districts offer a choice of schools and students must fill out an application. Some districts have zoned schools; others do not, but even in the districts with zoned schools, there are always other options.
How do parents find out about these options? The Department of Education sponsors middle school fairs in all districts that offer school choice. At these evening fairs (from 5:30-7:30 p.m.) families and 5th-graders meet representatives from each school. While fairs are a great way for parents and students to meet with staff and students and to ask questions, they are no substitute for attending a school tour or open house. Check schools' websites, or call schools to find out about their tour and open house schedule.
This year fairs will be held during the first two weeks of October, beginning on Oct. 4. (See the schedule below and here.) Middle school directories listing all schools in the district, including some which are open district or citywide, are not yet online but will be given out to 5th-graders this month, according to the DOE's website.
Districts 3 on the Upper West Side, District 15 in Park Slope, and District 22 in Midwood, and a few others, generally offer well-attended forums where principals talk about their schools. Check with your district family advocate (listed on our district pages) or your school's parent coordinator, to find out if your district is hosting one. We'll post dates on our calendar as we get them.
Key dates and application deadlines are outlined on the DOE's website. For students interested in applying to selective or accelerated programs, Oct. 21 is the deadline to register for the OLSAT test (administered in districts 17, 20, and 22 in Brooklyn, and in district 24 and 30 in Queens), and for the talent test programs in District 21, including Mark Twain, which is open citywide. Other districts and schools have different guidelines. Some schools select students based on a review of their grades, attendance, standardized test scores, and teacher recommendations; others require an onsite test or interview.
Charter schools have a separate application process and timeline. Most accept applications until late March with admissions lotteries held in April. Charters give preference to continuing students and to those who live in the geographic district.
Check out our reviews on Insideschools for guidelines, and be sure to ask about admissions requirements when you visit schools. The directory listings are not very specific. We offer tips on our middle school "how to apply" page as well as a list of some selective programs and how to find options outside of your district. And, our blogger Liz Willen chronocled her sons' searches in Middle School Muddle.
Other parents are always a great source of information about schools. Parents of sixth-graders (and other school search survivors): please share your insights in comments below!

The High Line, an Elevated Escape
By Pooja Shah
Welcome to Manhattan, a famous city where steel gray buildings, skyscrapers, and millions upon millions of people dominate the landscape. To evade this monotonous lifestyle (and, don't get me wrong, I love New York City, but everyone does need some sort of break) people seek out what they lack: an escape.
One such escape, that's pretty incredible, is the High Line – which starts in the Meat-Packing District. Having recently visited the place, I can tell you with certainty that it's worth a trip. The High Line used to be elevated railroad tracks before it was converted into essentially a mile-long park. The tracks connected directly to factories so that freight cars ran right inside the warehouses.
Now vegetation covers the tracks and there is a pebble walkway through the shrubbery. Stairways are located at various streets to provide access to the High Line. En route, one will find the Hudson River on one side, various built-in benches, vendors, and even a grassy area to sit in.
Interestingly enough, because of the renovations and reinvention, real estate value has increased and prices for apartments have risen. The redevelopment project also created many jobs for people and now the result is an amazing place created for leisure.
There are events constantly going on at the High Line. After seeing the website, I am certainly interested in attending one of them! Kids will love the area because it is big enough to play in and adults will love it because it's a great place for a simple stroll.

WASHINGTON — GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney was wrong to suggest he was a lifelong hunter even though he never took out a license, campaign rival Mike Huckabee said Sunday.
"I think it was a major mistake," said Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor. "It would be like me saying I've been a lifelong golfer because I played putt-putt when I was 9 years old and I rode in a golf cart a couple of times."
"I think American people are looking for authenticity," Huckabee added. "Match their record with their rhetoric."
A message left Sunday with a spokesman for Romney was not immediately returned.
Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, was dogged last week about his hunting activities after he remarked at a campaign stop that he has been a hunter nearly all his life.
The next day, in response to an Associated Press inquiry, his campaign said Romney had gone hunting just twice _ once as a teenager in Idaho and last year with GOP donors in Georgia. Officials in the four states where Romney has lived also told The Associated Press that he never took out a license.
Romney explained later that his staff was wrong and that he had hunted rabbits and other small animals for many years, mainly in Utah. Hunting certain small game there does not require a license.
On Sunday, Huckabee said Romney's comments undermined his credibility as a candidate.
In contrast, Huckabee said, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, also in the 2008 race, showed his honesty by recently reaffirming he supported abortion rights.
Last week in South Carolina, Giuliani defended his record favoring the use of public money for abortions. South Carolina is early voting state dominated by conservatives who oppose abortion rights.
"Now, I disagree with him. I don't think we ought to use federal tax dollars for abortion, and I wouldn't if I were president," Huckabee said.
"But I thought it was at least a statement of extraordinary honesty and candor on the part of Giuliani that he would go into South Carolina, a very pro-life environment, and just say, look, this is who I am. I'm not going to change just to get your votes," he said.
Huckabee spoke on "Face the Nation" on CBS.

I've been absentee but had to stop and quickly put up a link to an article interviewing economist Zvi Bodie, who says that people who need the arguably or historical higher return of stocks probably can't afford to take on the associated risk of stocks:
"You can't handle the truth about stocks" on CNNMoney
Brodie more or less says that most people are better off saving a higher percentage of their salary, investing 100% in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), and retiring later -- even if they have a long time horizon until retirement. In other words, he turns what most pundits on financial planning and what many, many of us are doing on its head.
Read the article, and then come back here to comment on what you think of Brodie's advice!

[Editor's Note: In case you are not familiar with blog carnivals, a blog carnival is a multi-blog event in which a number of bloggers aggregate their articles within a certain theme or subject area into one post. The "host" of the carnival writes up the post on his or her blog and includes links to the various articles. Hopefully, this helps readers as they get a "one stop shop" of articles. I post a weekly recap of the blog carnivals in which I have participated—and try also to cull out a few articles that I'd like to share with you here.]

Success Stories: Dry Cleaner and Part-Time Janitor with Third-Grade Education Accumulates More than $2,300,000
In 2004, Geno Morlacci died at age 102—and left $2.3 million to the University of Great Falls, where he had worked as a part-time janitor. Morlacci never had more than a third-grade education. He immigrated to the United States in 1921 at age 19, to help his father run a tavern; he then worked in dry-cleaning for 20 years; and he started his own a dry-cleaning business in 1948, which he ran until he sold it in 1962. He handled every part of his dry-cleaning business—pick-up, delivery, cleaning, and pressing—with his only outside help coming from a cashier. After selling the business, he went into semi-retirement, taking on a part-time job as a janitor at the university, which he left when the university decided it needed full-time help. How did he do it? As best as I can tell: I don't know squat about the dry-cleaning business, but it doesn't seem likely that Morlacci was earning a huge income there. One writer specifically stated he, as a newspaper reporter for the Deseret Morning News, "probably ma[d]e a lot more than Morlacci did cleaning clothes 18 hours a day." So Morlacci's path to millions seems to be summed up as extremely diligent saving and investing over many years. I wish it was a little clearer what he did with his investments and, for instance, at what price he sold his business and what he did with that lump sum. Now with some of the previous Success Stories on this blog, folks have commented that it seemed pointless to retire or pass away with so much money and then just give it all away. That's not really my takeaway—and I'm not really trying to judge what Morlacci or others do with their money (though you're welcome to comment on whatever you like!). The point for me is really a broken record: if you save and invest for many years, a million or a couple of million dollars is certainly in reach. And this appears to hold true even if your income is low. And if your income's not low, you really have no excuse. (Sources: Will of 102-Year-Old Janitor, Dry Cleaner Leaves $2.3 Million to University; University benefactor recalled as simple, thrifty man; Geno Morlacci set an example for all to follow.)

Man Bites Dog — Beats Airline in Dispute Over Canceled Flight!
I don't know if this is much of a personal-finance blog post, but it's too good a consumer story not to mention and link: A Flier Strikes Back (in Fortune magazine). The article describes our "hero," Mitchell Berns—and his beatdown of Delta Airlines. Delta canceled Berns' direct flight from Las Vegas to New York City and rescheduled him for a redeye that connected through Boston, claiming "snow" as the reason for cancellation. Berns noticed that other airlines were still making the same flight as scheduled. So he asked Delta for a refund. Delta told him that weather-related cancellations were not its fault and could not be refunded. Undaunted, Berns booked a JetBlue flight that was departing at the same time as his canceled Delta flight and got home to New York on schedule. Berns found out that the National Weather Service report said snow was expected at 5:00 a.m. the next morning, hours after his canceled Delta flight was supposed to have landed. This of course explained why he had no problem getting another flight with another airline. So he took Delta to small claims court and won a $938 judgment. Check out, A Flier Strikes Back, for the rest of the details! Berns reported that pursuing the refund took him about four hours. This is a good reminder that it can be worthwhile to take the time to push back when a store or even an airline does not provide the product or service for which you have paid!
Frugality Tips from a Setsuyaku No Tatsujin
I don't ordinarily think of BusinessWeek as much of a source for frugality tips, but the September 15, 2008 issue of BusinessWeek mentions some frugality tips from Japan in its article, A Nation of Yen-Pinchers. In particular, it features some of the ideas from a leading Japanese personal-finance blogger named Yuki Wada, a setsuyaku no tatsujin—master penny pincher. Inflation is a big problem in Japan, where gas costs $7.15 a gallon and average household spending is expected to go up about $840 for the year. So Wada and other Japanese bloggers writing on how to save money are quite popular! Wada's tips mentioned in the article include: I'm not sure how many of these might be for me, but I was interested enough to try and find Yuki Wada's blog. It didn't come up quickly (though other articles about her did). Perhaps it's in Japanese and inaccessible to me in any event. Yuki Wada's overall tip, from the article, is:I tell people you shouldn't be thrifty just in response to rising prices. It should become a daily habit.
Is It Better To Think Short-Term When It Comes to Saving?
The September 15, 2008 issue of BusinessWeek includes a Plus column tidbit titled, Short-Term Thinking May be a Saver's Best Friend. It discusses research by Professor Utpal Dholakia of Rice University and Professor Leona Tam of Old Dominion University—and their conclusion that "those who planned savings for next month did far better than those who tried to plan further out." In one of their experiments, people were asked how much they would save the following month and reported (on average) $287. This in mind, they then went on to save (on average) $440 that following month. But when asked to plan ahead four months, people said they would save (on average) $946 over that time. And they then went on to save (on average) a grand total of only $123—which translates to $30.75 per month. If I've read the experiment description in the article correctly, people concentrating a one-month savings goal did more than 14 times better than those concentrating on a four-month savings goal. Professor Dholakia indicated he was "shocked" by the results. In advising that people concentrate on saving for the following month, he told BusinessWeek: Don't plan in advance because it makes you overoptimistic. You think: "I might get a windfall or a raise." And not only do people who give a savings estimate for four months from now estimate too high but they become more risk-seeking. The risk-seeking behavior seems to include making riskier (and impliedly inappropriate) investments and preferring jobs with high pay but low job security. In other articles reporting on the same study (Study: When saving, it's best not to think long term and Lower Stress by Saving A Little From Each Paycheck), Professor Tam echoed the advice to concentrate on the following month: "[Y]ou have more control over it. You can actually formulate how to do it in more concrete ways." She elaborated: The easiest thing to do is to be a smarter consumer and make spending and saving decisions thoughtfully on a daily basis — that extra cup of coffee every morning, carpooling with a co-worker and cutting out the 'extras.' I'm trying to get ahold of a copy of the study to learn more, but so far, this seems like pretty interesting stuff. Though I don't know the details of the study yet, my initial reaction is to take the buzzworthy headlines and synopses advising not to think long-term with a grain of salt. I'd suggest interpreting the study to mean we should approaching savings goals like this: From the concededly brief news articles on Professors Dholakia's and Tam's study that I've read, this would achieve the gains of short-term thinking—without sacrificing what I would still call the necessity of longer-term thinking. After all, if you are only thinking about the coming month, it may be harder to identify an issue such as a need to make more money that may drive you to reconsider how you look at your current job. And remember, if you follow what I think is one of the best ways to save—automating your savings—this might well shield you from some of the problems revealed by Professors Dholakia's and Tam's study.

Warren Buffet's "10 Ways to Get Rich"?
The front cover of Parade magazine features a photo of a smiling Warren Buffet next to the headline, "10 Ways to Get Rich: Warren's Buffett's Secrets That Can Work For You!" For me? Really? Okay, tabloid-style headline aside, if you've been reading me long enough, you know I'm a big fan of Warren Buffett. So I promptly stole away the Parade magazine before my wife got to the paper or before my kids could strew it all over the house (a process which takes them approximately 3.6 seconds)—and retreated to somewhere I had half a chance of getting through the article. The article is based on a new book that is coming out later this month, The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life. It's an "authorized biography," and the author, Alice Schroeder apparently spent hundreds of hours interviewing Buffett for the book. Hundreds of hours? Pretty sweet. So here were the 10 "secrets": I wouldn't call any of these secrets, and I'd be willing to bet that most of these nuggets of wisdom appear in past books, articles, writings, and quotes about or by Buffett (and in his annual letters to shareholders). And I think most of these are pretty self-explanatory, except perhaps, "Never suck your thumb." The article describes that one as being decisive and acting quickly. Get the information you need to make a decision—but then move forward and making that decision on an appropriate timeline or with an appropriate deadline. The article explains that Buffett "calls any unnecessary sitting and thinking 'thumb-sucking.'" But what was both interesting and powerful in the article for me was the many personal stories woven into the "secrets," illustrating how Buffett learned that particular lesson or how he implements it for himself. For instance, in the article's description of the first point, "Reinvest your profits": In high school, [Buffett] and a pal bought a pinball machine to put in a barbershop. With the money they earned, they bought more machines until they had eight in different shops. When the friends sold the venture, Buffett used the proceeds to buy stock and to start another business. By age 26, he'd amassed $174,000—or $1.4 million in today's money. Nice! These are what make the article definitely worth checking out: 10 Ways to Get Rich: Warren's Buffett's Secrets That Can Work For You!

In all the controversy over colonial flags and British Council advertisements on the MTR, it is curious that the many yarns of polyester swathing the citizenry of Hong Kong in the livery of English football clubs have escaped mention.
It would be a stretch to label the English Premier League (EPL) neo-colonialist. For a start, most of its clubs' owners, and players, are not British. But as Britain's biggest cultural export these days, it is unsurpassed in its global reach; and for the local expat that means fending off one-word questions such as "Chelsea?" or "Liverpool?".
Call me churlish - I'm Scottish and nobody ever says "Aberdeen?" - but it seems obvious to point out that in embracing English football, Hong Kong has spurned its own footballing heritage. After all, the city has the oldest professional league in Asia and had a handy "national" side when most other Asian countries still couldn't kick their grannies. Furthermore, pre-EPL, important local matches attracted crowds of 30,000. Nowadays, the average first division gate is just over 1,000. Heavens, in the 1980s fans even had the cojones for the odd riot.
It doesn't help that those in charge of football in Hong Kong have such a knack for making a Horlicks of everything, or that "national" coaches rival David Beckham's hairdos for getting the chop. But consider this: EPL teams make £1 billion (HK$12 billion) in broadcasting revenues every season; in Hong Kong, clubs pay Now TV to show games. Time to get back to watching football in the flesh. Polyester optional.
