Steve Martin has become a first-time dad at the age of 67.
According to the New York Post, Martin and his wife Anne Stringfield, 41, welcomed their new addition in December.
"They've had a baby, and how they kept it a secret nobody knows," a source told Page Six. "Steve's very private." The source added, "They are thrilled. They worked hard to have the baby."
Martin and Stringfield, who is a writer and former staffer for The New Yorker, were married in 2007 after dating for three years. The ceremony took place at Martin's Los Angeles home and was presided over by Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey. Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels acted as best man, and guests included Tom Hanks and Father of the Bride co-star Diane Keaton, who were told they were attending a party.
Martin was previously married to actress Victoria Tennant from 1986 until 1994.
According to the Daily Mail, it was Stringfield who encouraged Martin to write his 2007 autobiography, Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life. In the book, he writes about his relationship with his own father, who passed away in 1997 at the age of 83.
"My father's attitude toward my show-business accomplishments was critical. After my first appearance on Saturday Night Live … he wrote a bad review of me in the newsletter of the Newport Board of Realtors where he was president," Martin wrote. The elder Martin also said, "I think Saturday Night Live is the most horrible thing on television," and said his son was "no Charlie Chaplin."
However, in 2008, Martin wrote, "In his death, my father, Glenn Vernon Martin, did something he could not do in life. He brought our family together."
A representative for Steve Martin declined to comment, and the actor had yet to confirm the news on Twitter.

"If I wanted to read shitty fanfics about stupid vampires I'd read twilight"
"Then all the super-sexy hot emo vampire romantic boys kissed me tenderly, "lets make this a memory one of the choir of Vamps spoke...."
"Despite its name Quizilla is generally used for looking at fanfics"
Quizilla is a gathering point for lonely goth girls and perverse old men masquerading as intelligent, attractive, popular young men who just like answering polls like "If you could she-rape any twilight guy, who would it be?". These old men are very successful with the 13-14 year old female audience, this is due to their hormones interfering with the part of their minds that says " what would all these popular attractive, well muscled, emo, romantic guys be sitting on a shitty quiz site answering stupid quizzes and reading fanfics like this, a similar phenomenon occurs when they listen to My Chemical Romance.

ROCKY RIVER, OH (WOIO) - The quest for the fountain of youth is never ending but, is often coming up with new possibilities offering a lot of promise.
The latest so called "magic potion" is sure getting our attention -- raising eyebrows in more ways than one.
A few pumps a day, a thorough massage in and...
"Look at her wrinkles after one week," said Cindy Scott, Nerium AD sales rep.
In as little as a few days some big promises from the latest age defying potion to hit the market...Nerium AD.
"Honestly I didn't think it was going to work," said a lotion non-believer. "I was very surprised at the results. Very surprised."
A group of friends in Ricky River were skeptical at first but sold on it now.
"They were doing research on all different kind of botanicals and this one really gave great results and it's very effective," said Scott.
Cindy Scott is so big on Nerium AD that she sells it now.
She says the what's different from other self proclaimed magic lotions is in the key ingredient, their exclusive nerium oleander extract, from a plant stem.
But also the company boasts if you don't believe in the endless before and after pictures, or what the ladies say, there's also scientific proof from an independent lab in digital face scans.
"After 30 days of use they saw it was reducing fine lines and wrinkles by 30 to 60 percent," added Scott.
It sure seems like the magic potion but local dermatologist Dr. Lydia Parker says hold on, her concern is that precious key ingredient the oleander plant.
While beautiful, she says it's known best for it's poison properties -- for killing cells. Which is good when you're talking about killing disease.
But when it comes to your skin she suspects it all translates into good old skin irritation at work here.
"It may cause a little swelling and inflammation which could give you some temporary poofing out of some lines," said Dr. Lydia Parker.
But for as many benefits there can be risks.
With Nerium AD, only on the market for a short time, it certainly has yet to be considered tried and true. But, for many what's more important is it has yet to disappoint.
The manufacturer of Nerium AD disputes any safety concerns citing scientific studies claiming it is entirely safe.

Microsoft apologized to users for a cloud service outage that took down its Hotmail, Outlook.com and SkyDrive services for some users for about 16 hours. Microsoft blamed the outage on a firmware update that went awry, resulting in a temperature spike.
This failure resulted in a rapid and substantial temperature spike in the data center that caused Microsoft's safety measures to kick in, blocking access to mailboxes and disabling failover, Arthur de Haan, vice president of test and service engineering in Microsoft's Windows Services unit, said in a blog post.

Beyoncé Biked the Brooklyn Bridge to Get to Her Last Barclays Center Concert
Kinda like the time Jay Z rode the subway to his Barclays gig.
The Instagram photos — there are four of them, collaged together — don't exactly show Beyoncé on a bike, but they sort of show her with a bike. So if the Blue Ivy conspiracy theorists are looking for new fodder, here you go. Just ignore the fact that a Google image search for "Beyoncé bike ride" clearly shows that Bey can and does ride bikes. And that there's a family precedent, like the time Jay Z took the subway to his final Barclays performance last October.

Congratulations to islander Guy Archambault who has been elected president of the USS Massachusetts Memorial Committee board of directors for 2008.

Two of our readers have been busy researching the origin of Barbara Morinho's "song."
Larry Lewis writes that it is actually a poem entitled "Hang Up The Baby's Stocking" by Emily Huntingdon Miller and has four stanzas. "It dates back at least to 1907 and likely much further than that." Barbara-Ann MacIntosh confirms the author and that it is a poem.
The first verse was in last week's column. Here are the others provided by Larry:
Dear! what a tiny stocking!
It doesn't take much to hold Such little pink toes as baby's Away from the frost and cold.
But then for the baby's Christmas
It will never do at all; Why, Santa wouldn't be looking For anything half so small.
I know what will do for the baby.
I've thought of the very best plan;
I'll borrow a stocking of grandma,
The longest that ever I can;
And you'll hang it by mine, dear mother,
Right here in the corner, so! And write a letter to Santa, And fasten it on to the toe.
Write, "This is the baby's stocking That hangs in the corner here; You never have seen her, Santa, For she only came this year; But she's just the blessedest baby! And, now, before you go, Just cram her stocking with goodies, From the top clean down to the
Get that recorded for the next yule season and it'll be a big hit.
Both Barbara-Ann and Larry also came up with the poser answer. Barbara-Ann wrote:
I remember you,
You're the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago, I remember you,
You're the one who said I love you too
Yes I do didn't you know ......
Larry added that "I Remember You" was recorded by numerous artists and co-written by Johnny Mercer, the masterful songsmith. I even have a version recorded by the Beatles live in 1962 in Hamburg, Germany. British singer Frank Ifield had a Top 5 hit in Britain with it that year and the Beatles, at that time, were still playing a lot of song covers. America's own Slim Whitman hit big with this tune, as well."
Thanks, guys!

CAIRO (AP) — A referendum on a new constitution laid bare the sharp divisions in Egypt six months after the military removed the elected Islamist president, with pro-army voters lining up Tuesday outside polling stations, singing patriotic songs, kissing images of Egypt's top officer and sharing upbeat hopes for their troubled nation.
Sporadic violence flared across much of the country, leaving 11 dead, with protesters burning tires and pelting police with rocks and firebombs creating just enough tension to keep many voters at home.
Still, the first of two days of voting yielded telling signs that the national sentiment was overwhelmingly behind military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, whose possible presidential run later this year has grown more likely by the day. That a career army officer might be Egypt's next president has raised questions about the future of democracy in Egypt, but it also speaks to the fatigue felt by most Egyptians after three years of deadly turmoil and economic woes.
Standing in line to cast his ballot, Ismail Mustafa said he was voting "yes" in the hope of ending the turmoil that has engulfed Egypt since the 2011 ouster of the country's longtime autocratic ruler Hosni Mubarak.
"This is it, we have had it. I will vote 'yes' even if it is the last thing I do," Mustafa declared outside a Cairo polling station.
This week's balloting is a key milestone in a military-backed political roadmap toward new elections for a president and a parliament after the July 3 coup that left the nation sharply divided between Brotherhood supporters in one camp, and the military and security forces in another, backed by a large segment of the population that is yearning for stability after three years of turmoil.
It is taking place in a climate of fear and paranoia, with authorities, the mostly pro-military media and a significant number of Egyptians showing little or no tolerance for dissent. Campaigning for a "no" vote risked arrest by the police. Egyptians who have voiced their opposition to the charter, or even just parts of it, are quickly labeled as traitors.
Nearly 400,000 soldiers and policemen fanned out across the nation of some 90 million people on Tuesday to protect voters against possible attacks by militants loyal to Morsi. Cars were prevented from parking or driving by polling centers and women were searched by female police officers. Military helicopters hovered over Cairo and other major cities, while grim-faced, black-clad masked commandos stood guard outside polling centers.
Shortly before the polls opened, an explosion struck a Cairo courthouse, damaging its facade and shattering windows in nearby buildings, but causing no casualties in the densely populated Cairo neighborhood of Imbaba, a Brotherhood stronghold.
The Health Ministry said 11 people were killed and 28 were wounded in clashes between pro-Morsi protesters and security forces. The relatively low number of fatalities was well below the grim predictions of major violence in the run-up to the ballot.
The Brotherhood, now branded a terrorist group, had called for a boycott of the vote and vowed mass demonstrations to disrupt it. But Tuesday's widely scattered protests numbered no more than 200-300 people each, mostly teenagers and men in their early 20s, many armed with rocks, firebombs and bird shot.
The referendum is the sixth nationwide vote since Mubarak was toppled in a popular uprising in 2011, with the five others widely considered the freest ever in Egypt, including the June 2012 election won by Morsi. But this vote was tainted by criticism that many of the freedoms won during the revolution have vanished amid a fierce crackdown on Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood and a smear campaign against some of the activists who engineered the 2011 uprising but remained steadfastly opposed to the military's involvement in politics.
The new charter, drafted by a committee dominated by liberals appointed by the military-backed government, would ban political parties based on religion, give women equal rights and protect the status of minority Christians. It also gives the military special status by allowing it to select its own candidate for the job of defense minister for the next eight years and empowering it to bring civilians before military tribunals in certain cases.
The charter is a heavily amended version of a constitution written by Morsi's Islamist allies and ratified in December 2012 with some 64 percent of the vote, but with a nationwide turnout of just over 30 percent.
The current government is looking for a bigger "yes" majority and larger turnout to win undisputed legitimacy and perhaps a popular mandate for el-Sissi to run for president. El-Sissi has yet to say outright whether he plans to seek the nation's highest office, but his candidacy appears increasingly likely every day.
"The constitution is not perfect," said Ameena Abdel-Salam after she cast her ballot in Cairo's upscale Zamalek district. "But we need to move forward and we can fix it later."
Illustrating the high stakes, the government and the overwhelmingly pro-military media have portrayed the balloting as key to the nation's security and stability. Hundreds of thousands of fliers, posters, banners and billboards have urged Egyptians to vote "yes," while anyone displaying posters calling for a "no" vote risked arrest.
Long lines of voters began to form nearly two hours before polling stations opened in some Cairo districts, including Imbaba, where the blast outside the courthouse instantly whipped up anti-Brotherhood sentiment, with chants and shouting against the Islamist group.
The mood was generally upbeat, hostile toward the Brotherhood and hopeful that the charter would bring better days. In Cairo, a group of women voters sang the national anthem as well as patriotic songs dating back to the 1960s. "El-Sissi is my president," they chanted as some jubilantly ululated. A video clip posted on social networks showed women wearing the Muslim veil dancing outside a polling station to a popular song praising the coup that ousted Morsi.
In Assiut, a stronghold of Islamists and home to a large Christian community south of Cairo, voters posed with posters of el-Sissi next to Tawadros II, the Coptic Orthodox pontiff, as patriotic songs blared from speakers.
Many of Assiut's Christians have complained that Islamists, through intimidation and outright violence, prevented them from voting on the Islamist-backed constitution in December 2012. Not this time, they said.
"This time, we are not afraid of anyone," 30-year-old Heba Girgis said after casting her ballot. "Last time we were not heard. This time we said 'yes' and our 'yes' will prevail."
Manal Hussein, who comes from a village below the Giza Pyramids plateau west of Cairo, wore a dress in the red, black and white colors of the national flag. Her daughter wore an Islamic veil in the same colors.
"This vote brings to an end the era of the Brotherhood, who divided us and turned family members against each other," Hussein said. Outside a nearby polling station, 67-year-old Alaa al-Nabi Mohammed echoed a similar sentiment — that Egyptians have consigned Morsi and the Brotherhood's yearlong rule to the past.
"I am here to send a message to the world ... that we want to live and get our country back on its feet," he said.
Clashes with security forces appeared designed to create tension and a sense of insecurity.
In several semi-rural localities on Cairo's outskirts, the tactic appeared to work. Lines outside polling stations were short and an atmosphere of apathy appeared to prevail. In some instances, residents said they have been repeatedly warned by local Brotherhood leaders against voting. In more extreme cases, Morsi supporters pelted polling stations with rocks and sprayed them with gunfire on Tuesday, enough to scare voters away.
In Kirdassa, one of those Brotherhood strongholds near Cairo, turnout was weak.
"This is a place that is 80 percent Brotherhood, so what do you expect?" accountant and local resident Mohammed Mohammadi said. "They have been staging rallies nightly to urge people to vote 'no.'"
Meanwhile, a spending bill in the U.S. Congress would restore $1.5 billion in aid to Egypt, but only on condition that the Egyptian government ensures democratic reform.
The bill links the $1.3 billion in military aid and $250 million in economic aid to Egypt's sustaining its security relationship with the U.S. and abiding by the Egypt-Israeli peace pact.
A Senate Appropriations Committee summary of the bill said some of the aid would be given only if Egypt supports a democratic transition and holds democratic elections. The U.S. cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Egypt in October in response to the military coup that overthrew the Cairo government and to a crackdown on protesters.
Associated Press reporters Maggie Hyde and Mariam Rizk in Cairo and Sarah El Deeb in Assiut, Egypt, contributed to this report.

BERLIN (AP) — German prosecutors say they've charged a 26-year-old man with membership in a terrorist organization after he went to Syria to fight with rebel forces.
Harun P., whose last name wasn't given in accordance with privacy laws, was also charged with involvement in manslaughter and attempted incitement to murder.
Prosecutors said Thursday he traveled to Syria in September and joined the Islamic extremist group Junud Al-Sham. Prosecutors say he took part in a February operation to free fighters from a government prison in which at least two Syrian soldiers were killed.
He's also alleged to have unsuccessfully urged the killing of two people who wanted to bring their 16-year-old relative to Germany, because he feared she would inform on him.
He was arrested in Prague in April and returned to Germany.

Dennis V. Swayze, Age 89
Dennis V. Swayze, 89, of Coal City, on October 17, 2011, went to join his wife, Carolyn, before the throne of their Lord Jesus Christ. His passing was the result of the consequences of cancer.
Dennis was born August 25, 1922, in Newberry, Indiana, the son of Dora Frank and Dessie Laverne (Thomas) Swayze. He graduated from Linton High School with the class of 1940. After high school he served in the Seabees, a branch of the United States Navy, during WWII. He married Carolyn Hilburn, March 31, 1946, who preceded him in death in 2003. When he returned from the war, he went to Indiana State Teachers College and later to Indiana University to receive his master's degree in education. Dennis taught Industrial Arts at Marshall High School, Marshall, Illinois; Martinsville Junior and Senior High Schools, Martinsville, Indiana; and retired from Lawrence Central High School, Lawrence, Indiana.
Dennis was a man who enjoyed working with his hands. From building homes to making children's toys to gardening, big or small, he enjoyed doing them all. More important than all of these was teaching his family about having faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and trying to lead by example.
Dennis was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Carolyn Elizabeth Swayze; sister, Maudie Callahan; and two brothers, Frank and Richard Swayze.
Dennis is survived by his children, Richard Swayze (Kathryn) of Davison, Michigan, Michael Swayze of Coal City, and Lynette Whittington (Rick) of Coal City; grandchildren, Clayton Burrus (Angie), Toni Swayze, Erin Marshall (Benjamin), Kurt Swayze, Andrew Whittington (Nisha), Grant Swayze (Brittany), Abby Swayze, Gail Swayze, Anna Swayze, and Alex Swayze; great-grandchildren, Mason Tuttle, Noah Burrus, Colin Marshall, Keagan Marshall and Jakob Ley.

Commentary: Under Kelly, Eagles see a better wayBy BOB FORD
The Philadelphia Inquirer
December 30. 2013 9:57PM
PHILADELPHIA — As Chip Kelly retooled and rebuilt the Eagles football operation, changing everything from the offensive and defensive schemes to what the players ate and drank after practice, he also changed a lot of the players, too.
There were 22 newcomers on the 53-man roster this season, which isn't an unusual amount of churn for an NFL team, but it did mean that the locker room was split between the group that lived through the disastrous 2012 season and the group that didn't.
Kelly, a former Manchester Central player and UNH offensive coordinator, brought them all together and fashioned the team that went 10-6, clinching the NFC East title with the narrow win over Dallas on Sunday night. For every guy in the locker room, it was an exhilarating experience, but for the holdovers who endured 11 losses in the final 12 games the year before, it bordered on the unbelievable.
"We did change out a lot of the roster, but a lot of the guys who are here were 4-12 last year and, listening to them talk, it didn't end well for them," Kelly said. "That streak at the end of the year, they still had that taste in their mouths and they wanted to change it. They didn't change it by talking about it. This is the type of team that goes out and works."
The newcomers and the holdovers got it done as a single team, and earned their spot in the postseason on Saturday night in Lincoln Financial Field against the New Orleans Saints. It is sweet for all of them. For some, it is something even more.
"It can't get any worse than that," linebacker Mychal Kendricks said of 2012. "We knew there was only one way to go and that way was up. Once you've seen the bottom, you want to go up and we strived for that every day. Hopefully, we're going to keep going up, and really reach that upper room."
Kelly certainly gets his share of credit for the turnaround. The players who decided to throw in with the college coach and try to share his vision get their credit, too. It was a lot of work. The football gods also had their say in how the season went. Balls that bounced the wrong way in 2012 fell into the hands of the Eagles this year. Injuries that decimated the offensive line, unsettled the quarterback position and put LeSean McCoy on the inactive list for a number of games were not a factor this time around. Good teams sometimes make their own luck and the Eagles did plenty of that, catching some opponents at just the right time while the year before every break seemed to go against them.
"Any time you go through adversity with guys, it brings you closer and closer," said center Jason Kelce, who played just two games in 2012 before being lost to injury. "We have a really tight team and I think it helped to have been through the adversity we faced."
For the newcomers, they don't regret missing out on 2012, but the Eagles' 3-5 start was also a good taste of that adversity.
"I can never understand what those guys went through because I've never experienced it myself," said cornerback Cary Williams, who hasn't played on a team that finished with a losing record in five NFL seasons. "Just our six losses this year, it was tough to swallow those pills. But we worked to get better because we understood that there were going to be brighter days and other opportunities."
On the starting offense, only tackle Lane Johnson is new to the roster this season. The defense has five starters — Williams, Bradley Fletcher, Connor Barwin, Bennie Logan and Patrick Chung — who were brought aboard under Kelly. It's no wonder that new players and a new system took a while to settle in, but a ragged defense that gave up more than 22 points in each of the first four games has done so only once in the 12 games since.
As the game came down to its dramatic conclusion Sunday night, with the Cowboys having already gained more than 400 yards and needing just another 30 or so to attempt a game-winning field goal, the defense made perhaps its timeliest stop of the season — Brandon Boykin's interception to snuff out the final drive.
"I kind of thought (the Cowboys) were going to take it down and end the game and it was going to be a sad feeling, but the defense came up with the big play," receiver DeSean Jackson said. "One year away definitely shows you a difference. A difference maker in Chip Kelly came in here and we work hard and play hard on the field. Hopefully, we can end this story right."
Some of them don't understand because they weren't here to live it, but those who went through 2012 know this season feels right already. They certainly remember what wrong feels like, and this ain't it.

In May, less than two weeks before the release of his band's anticipated debut album, Roomrunner frontman Denny Bowen was in a Massachusetts hospital.
Despite the growing excitement surrounding his Baltimore quartet's new full-length album, "Ideal Cities," the 28-year-old Bowen had much more serious concerns.
"Basically, in a way, I had a weird mental break for a period of time," Bowen said last week, over the phone from Northampton, Mass., where his girlfriend lives. He paused before declining to go into specifics.
After a moment, he clarified the severity of the issue.
"I'll just say this. As a result of it, I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and [post-traumatic stress disorder]," said the singer, who added his life-long battle with chronic migraines compounded the stress.
Bowen, the former drummer of Baltimore post-punkers Double Dagger, cheerfully added things are "definitely on the upswing now," but he doesn't hesitate to call 2013 "one of the most stressful, most insane periods in my life." Now, after a respite, he feels refreshed and hopeful he can make up for lost time.
"We didn't do a lot of touring this summer as a result of the diagnosis and everything. I kind of wanted to take a few steps back," Bowen, who plays U+N Fest with Roomrunner at the Ottobar on Friday, said. "I tried to spend the summer rebooting myself."
From the enthusiastic tone in his voice, Bowen now seems wholly committed to Roomrunner, which, even before the hospitalization, was not always the case. Bowen said he started the band in 2011 to deal with two break-ups: a six-year romantic relationship and the bittersweet end of Double Dagger. After releasing a self-titled cassette, a 2012 EP titled "Super Vague" and "Ideal Cities," Bowen wondered if the band had run its course.
"Everybody was looking at me like, 'What's happening? What's going to happen now?'" Bowen said. "I didn't know how to handle it, to be honest — just where to go next. After the record came out, it was like, 'Well, that's that.'"
He didn't realize he had underestimated the power of his band's own sound. For Bowen, it turned out that writing "Ideal Cities" wasn't just an artistic release, but a life reboot.
"The same thing was happening [in my life] over and over. I was playing shows with Double Dagger. Playing shows with Dan Deacon. Living in the Copycat [Building.] It was kind of on auto-repeat for half a decade," Bowen said. "It was frustrating. I was trying to rediscover who I was as a person, as cheesy as it sounds."
So Bowen set out to write rock songs that were effective — and not limited — because of their simplicity. He cites bands such as Shellac and My Disco as influences.
"Bands like that can do something where they're playing a single note but it sounds so powerful," Bowen said. "That means so much to me."
"Ideal Cities" is another reminder rock music can make its point without the fat. Whether it's the driving, sludgy guitar riff of "Wojtek" or the aggressive, feedback-riddled opener "Bait Car," Bowen and his bandmates (including guitarist Jeff Byers, drummer Bret Lanahan and bassist Dan Frome) have one of the leanest, most potent rock albums of the year.
The band's lack of frills and Bowen's knack for writing sticky choruses quickly garnered comparisons to Nirvana throughout the media, which, unsurprisingly, grew tiring for Bowen.
"It was an obvious influence," he said, "but it got to a point where it started being this dismissive thing rather than a complimentary thing."
Like anyone being mentioned with a generation-defining band, Bowen would rather avoid comparisons. And why shouldn't he? With Roomrunner's brief-yet-unexpected hiatus earlier this year behind him, Bowen is concentrating on the future, which includes a studio session with his "hero," producer J. Robbins. He does not know where the recorded material will end up (a split single with Baltimore's Dope Body is in the works), but the fact Bowen is talking about future Roomrunner releases is encouraging enough. Months removed from his hospitalization, Bowen knows where his future lies.
"In a way, I can't give up on [Roomrunner]," he said. "I know what I can do is play music and write music. My decision now is to jump back in the pool."
If you go
Roomrunner performs Friday at the Ottobar, 2549 N. Howard St. in Charles Village, as a part of U+N Fest, a two-day festival. Doors open at 6 p.m. Pissed Jeans, the Gories and more will also perform. Tickets are $18-$65. Call 410-662-0069 or go to theottobar.com.

Medical History and Physical Exam for Colorectal CancerSkip to the navigation
Exam Overview
You can help your doctor diagnose and treat your condition by being ready to answer the following questions:
- What are your main symptoms? Although
colorectal cancer does not always cause symptoms,
common symptoms include:
- Abdominal (belly) cramps.
- A change in your bowel habits (either constipation or diarrhea).
- Blood in your stools.
- Narrow stools.
- Unexplained weight loss.
- Fatigue.
- Loss of appetite.
- How long have you had the symptoms?
- Are your symptoms getting worse?
- Do you smoke or use other types of tobacco?
- What foods do you typically eat? Do you eat a lot of processed foods and animal fats?
- Have you ever been told you have cancer, either colorectal or another type?
- Has anyone else in your family ever been diagnosed with colorectal or another type of cancer?
- Do you have any type of inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease?
- What drugs do you take? Make a complete list of all your prescriptions and any over-the-counter drugs, and take the list with you to your appointment.
During a physical exam, your doctor will:
- Take your temperature and weight.
- Listen to your heart and lungs.
- Inspect your abdomen for signs of a tumor, enlargement of your liver, or swelling.
- Perform a digital rectal exam.
Why It Is Done
A complete medical history and physical exam will help your doctor find the cause of your symptoms. It will also help decide whether you need more tests.
The results of the medical history and physical exam may mean that a person needs to begin routine testing for colorectal cancer earlier than age 50 and have it more often. Your doctor may recommend earlier or more frequent testing if you:
- Already have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
- Have a first-degree relative (parent, brother, sister, or child) with an adenomatous polyp or colorectal cancer.
- Have had adenomatous polyps removed from your colon. This type of polyp is more likely to turn into cancer, though the risk is still very low.
- Have inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.
- Have a rare inherited polyp syndrome.
- Have had endometrial cancer or ovarian cancer.
- Have had radiation treatments to the abdomen or pelvis.
What To Think About
If your medical history and physical exam lead your doctor to suspect colorectal cancer, you will need more tests. These tests may include colonoscopy, fecal occult blood testing, sigmoidoscopy, biopsy, and complete blood count.
Complete the medical test information form (PDF) (What is a PDF document?) to help you prepare for this test.

Salem School Board has a new chairman
SALEM — During his year as chairman of the school board, Bernard Campbell helped oversee a successful push for a $75 million high school renovation plan as well as the passage of five new union contracts.
At Tuesday night's re-organizational board meeting, the rest of the board thanked Campbell for his service as chairman and unanimously elected Patricia Corbett to serve in that role over the coming year.
"We've finished a year that has been very busy," said Campbell. "It will be my great pleasure to have (Corbett) succeed and lead us forward over the next year. She has been very helpful over the last year, especially with the changes to the superintendent evaluation process."
Corbett praised Campbell for his leadership over the past year.
"I think the community has a lot of faith in you as a member of this board," said Corbett.
Campbell said he looks forward to working with Corbett on the school board as well as seeing the progress of the high school renovation project over the coming three years.
"As a graduate of Salem High School, I can't begin to say how happy I was that that passed," Campbell said.

On April 3, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech at the Mason Temple in Memphis, Tenn. The speech, now known popularly as "I've Been to the Mountaintop," dealt specifically with a strike involving Memphis sanitation workers and, more broadly, discussed America's failure to live up its own ideals.
Toward the end of the speech, King brought up the threats against his own life, wondering aloud what might happen to him "from some of our sick white brothers." Although he said he wanted to live a long time, he went on to argue that his own longevity was immaterial to the moment. "I just want to do God's will," King said. "And he's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know that we, as a people, will get to the promised land."
Thereafter, King headed to Room 305 of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, where he would spend his last night. The room is faithfully re-created by designer Scott Davis for Ron OJ Parson's Chicago premiere of Katori Hall's 2009 drama, "The Mountaintop," a critically acclaimed hit in the United Kingdom and a critically savaged flop on Broadway, despite the presence of Samuel L. Jackson and Angela Bassett.
At first you think that Hall's intent is to offer a backstage view of an iconic figure: We see King fretting over his speech and the poor attendance, using the bathroom, calling out to Ralph Abernathy for Pall Mall cigarettes, and, most notably, flirting with an enigmatic young girl named Camae who has shown up with room service for the motel's celebrity guest. Since there are only two characters in the play (in Parson's production, David Alan Anderson plays King and Lisa Beasley plays Camae), it does not take long to realize that this waitress is bringing a lot more than a late-night snack. For all the chatting about King's stinky feet and his need for a simple human connection with a lithe body, the decompression and demystification are merely setups.
Hall (an American who was still in her 20s when this play hit in Britain) has written a play riffing on the end of King's "Mountaintop" speech, a play that asks the question: What if, that night, the great civil rights leader had a premonition of his own death?
I'll skip the further details; those are best experienced as a series of surprises. Still, how revealing (or forced) you find that premise will, I think, largely dictate your opinion of a play that was received in sharply different ways on either side of the Atlantic. More about that in a moment. But there's no question that Parson's Court Theatre production, which opened Saturday night, is a superior endeavor, not least because Parson, a fan of thrillers, had the guts to embrace the tense theatricality of Hall's irreverent, even outlandish play.
Many would fear playing King, and Anderson understandably takes his time to fire up. But once Beasley, a hugely talented newcomer who is remarkable here, shows up with nourishment, the scenes really crackle with energy and sexual tension. Parson amps up the sound effects, moves the action at a rapid pace, plays around fearlessly with Davis' hypertheatrical design (Mike Tutaj's projections complete the picture), and generally embraces all the risks that this audacious play demands.
"The Mountaintop" worked better in the U.K. than on Broadway, I think, mostly because of distance (although the Broadway prerequisite of celebrity casting and the need for excessive spectacle was doubtless another issue). Similar factors were in play with the overblown play "Enron," although the tone was very different there.
In general, Europeans are far more receptive to American culture painted with broad theatrical strokes — 'The Mountaintop" is very much a play that sees King as a cog in a giant postmodern cultural wheel. Although realized with real pizazz in this production, the conclusion still puts one in mind of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." Once the play moved stateside, where King's life and death are known in more detail, and where the events of that night remain raw, painful and specific, Hall's writing seemed more forced and overly emblematic.
On Broadway, King was not easily seen as some metaphoric construct in a play blending humor with murder. After all, here was a man who perhaps would still now be alive, if hate had not intervened.
A true assessment of the writing probably lies somewhere between those reactions; come to think of it, Chicago productions of dramas first seen in London and New York often end up in that mid-Atlantic place. Hall is a young writer and, when you watch her intermittently overwritten play, you can see that immaturity.
It's a tad glib and invulnerable. Symbols feel tossed and blended and the anachronisms forced. The writer overreaches. She has not fully decided what she wants to say.
To be honest, I found myself resisting the basic metaphor. King was a man ripped from this world with shocking ferocity and immediacy; it is not easy to get your head around the notion of him dreaming of his own demise in advance, or even seeing its validity a point of theatrical departure.
Then again, there is that speech. There is the force and sheer theatrical audacity of Hall's writing. And, as time passes, the context of this event must now become part of an ever-expanding cultural frame of reference. In this fine Chicago production from a director who really understands the relationship between tension and truth, "The Mountaintop" is well worth a climb.

Pesticide container recycling program begins 23rd year
LINCOLN—More than 1,000 tons of plastic pesticide containers have been recycled as part of a more than 20-year University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension program aimed at turning these potential threats to Nebraska's environment and landscape into useful products.
"In 2013, the program recycled about 35 tons of containers, adding to a running 22-year total of about 2.2 million pounds of plastic pesticide containers in Nebraska...which is well over 1,000 tons," said UNL Extension pesticide safety educator Clyde Ogg.
"We're going to keep adding on to that total as this very successful and collaborative program starts year 23," said Ogg.
The Pesticide Container Recycling Program recycles 1- and 2.5-gallon plastic pesticide containers and 15-, 30- and 55-gallon plastic crop protection chemical drums.
"These are farm and ranch pesticide containers that could otherwise end up stored and forgotten in barns or sheds or be improperly disposed of by casting them aside on creek banks or by burning them," said Ogg, who coordinates UNL Extension's Pesticide Safety Education Program.
"The program's ethos has always been to provide a cost-effective, cooperative, and environmentally responsible way to properly dispose of and reuse these containers."
Plastic from the collected containers is turned into industrial and consumer products like shipping pallets, drain tile, dimension lumber and parking lot tire bumpers.
Details of recycling sites and program guidelines are online at http://pested.unl.edu/recycling.
"Teamwork and cooperation has kept this program viable and successful over many, many years," Ogg said, citing cooperation from UNL Extension educators and collection site managers statewide.
"The commitment of the people that increasingly understand that this program is a simple and effective way to care for our environment is incredibly valuable. Most of the container collection sites are at agricultural chemical dealerships or community recycling centers, which volunteer to take on this additional responsibility," he said.
The program accepts pressure-rinsed or triple-rinsed 1- and 2.5-gallon plastic pesticide containers. They must be clean and drained, inside and out. Caps, labels, booklets and slipcover plastic labels, which can't be recycled as part of the program, must be removed. Those items should be disposed of as normal, solid waste. Glued-on paper labels can be left on the container. Rinsate should be returned to spray tanks.
Of the 32 sites involved in the program, 18 accept 15-, 30- and 55-gallon plastic crop protection chemical, crop oil and adjuvant drums.
Drums must be thoroughly rinsed before delivery to collection sites and should not be cut or opened in any way. Mini-bulk, saddle tanks and nurse tanks, which can be made of fiberglass or plastics not compatible with the recycling program, are not accepted.
Eight sites collect year-around, 12 collect May through August, eight collect on specific dates, and four are by appointment only.
Program funding is by a national coalition of agri-chemical manufacturers through the Agricultural Container Recycling Council, Lexington, Va.
County collection sites, by category, are listed below. Sites accepting 15-, 30- and 55-gallon plastic drums are noted.
Year-round collection sites:
Buffalo—Kearney Recycling Center, Kearney, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Lincoln—City of North Platte Transfer Station, North Platte, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
May-August collection sites:
Dawson—All Points Cooperative, Lexington, accepts drums

By Stephen Kalin
CAIRO (Reuters) - Newly inaugurated President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi reappointed Egypt's prime minister on Monday, signaling continuity as he sets out to fix the economy and overcome political divisions after a long period of turmoil and bloodshed.
In comments carried by the state news agency, Prime Minister Ibrahim Mehleb said the current government would stay on in a caretaker role until he forms a new cabinet. Consultations had not yet begun, he said, although officials have said many of the leading ministers such as finance are likely to be unchanged.
Sisi, who as armed forces chief toppled Islamist President Mohamed Mursi last July following mass protests, was sworn in on Sunday in a ceremony with low-key attendance by Western allies concerned by a crackdown on dissent.
While Sisi quit the military in March, a lower-than-expected turnout in last month's presidential elections fell short of giving him a strong mandate to take tough measures to repair an economy wounded by three years of instability and regular violence which has scared away foreign investors and tourists.
Keeping the main ministers in place could allow Sisi to implement quickly the kind of reforms that the United Arab Emirates - one of the Gulf Arab states that gave Egypt billions of dollars in aid after Mursi's fall - has been encouraging.
Fawaz Gerges, Professor of Middle East Studies at the London School of Economics, said Sisi had to tackle the problems that are undermining Egyptians' living standards and state finances.
"He knows that he has a one year honeymoon and that's why he has to deliver in terms of jobs, in terms of lowering inflation, in terms of the debt," he said. "That's why he's keeping Mehleb in place and that's why he's keeping the major portfolios."
One of the most important figures in Egypt's drive to resuscitate the economy is Finance Minister Hany Kadry Dimian, who is expected to stay on in the new administration.
Educated at Columbia University in the United States, he was described by a senior European diplomat as the only ministry expert able to deal professionally with the International Monetary Fund during a failed attempt under Mursi to secure a $4.8 billion loan.
Reuters reported on Friday that Western consultants were advising Egypt's government - apparently with Sisi's blessing - on an economic reform plan which could serve as a basis for restarting talks on a IMF loan deal.
Sisi has consulted a number of international figures in economics and business including Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. One of his first meetings as president was with Central Bank Governor Hisham Ramez on Monday. They discussed ways to increase foreign exchange reserves and policies to ensure the stability of the Egyptian pound, the state news agency reported.
Reserves were at $17.284 billion at the end of last month, up from a critical low of $13.5 billion last year thanks to the Gulf aid but well down from $36 billion before a revolt that toppled President Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
The driving force behind the consulting project is the UAE, which along with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait has showered Egypt with aid totaling more than $12 billion in cash and petroleum products since Mursi's removal.
As de facto ruler since last summer, Sisi has driven Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood underground with a crackdown in which hundreds of its supporters have been killed and thousands jailed, polarizing the most populous Arab nation.
However, Egypt's oldest and best organized Islamist movement has survived official repression for decades. Sisi also faces a violent threat from militants based in the Sinai peninsula who are believed to have access to weapons smuggled from chaotic Libya. These have stepped up attacks on police and soldiers since Sisi ousted Mursi.
Mehleb, 65, was appointed prime minister in February after serving previously in housing portfolio. A civil engineer, he is a former chairman of Arab Contractors, one of the region's largest construction companies, and worked briefly in Saudi Arabia before joining the government following Mursi's overthrow.
The Egyptian pound strengthened slightly at a central bank sale on Monday to 7.1402 pounds to the dollar from 7.1403 at its last sale on Thursday, and it remained steady on the parallel market.
The gap between the pound's rates on the official and black markets has narrowed markedly since Sisi's election, with the currency appreciating markedly against the dollar at unofficial rates. Egypt's benchmark stock index closed up 1.1 percent.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A Customs agent in San Diego has pleaded guilty to allowing his brother-in-law, a convicted immigrant smuggler, into the United States.
U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy announced Tuesday that Thomas Silva pleaded guilty to concealing a person from arrest. He was a nine-year veteran of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Silva admitted allowing convicted immigrant smuggler Julio Cesar Landaverde into the U.S. from Mexico in April and entering inaccurate information about Landaverde's car to help him evade arrest.
Silva also pleaded guilty to collecting insurance money by claiming his pickup truck had been stolen when in fact he had driven it to Mexico. He agreed to pay more than $7,000 in restitution to Farmers Insurance.
Silva could get five years in prison fines of up to $250,000 when he's sentenced in December.

I believe I can fly
Is Jim Carrey version of "I believe I can fly availible on cd?
Talking about flying....
There is a new ultra light helicopter.
It's called the mosquito.
I saw it on TV today.
It's similar to a gyrocopter
It takes 200 hours approx. to build.
Yeah, Jim is the best!
Very unexpected interpretation of the song!
[Victor Hugo said "It's a very sad thing to know that nature talks but humans don't listen"]
its every single film they try to translate to becomes screwed up. at first it was only between english and chinese but its not !!! how do they expect people to get the movie when the translation makes no sense whatsoever???!!!!
i wish they could TRY to translate properly

Sandy M's review of Mine (Holton Woods, Book 3) by HelenKay Dimon
HelenKay Dimon has become one of those authors whose books I anxiously await and have a hard time doing that. I want her next one now! Of course, she has a voluminous backlist, so I still get some of her great stories while I wait.
Sandy M's review of Traveling Light by Lynne Branard
Contemporary Romance published by Berkley 10 Jan 17
Not your typical romance, Traveling Light is an easy, quirky, and fun afternoon read. It is also the way our main character, Alissa, grows after leading a not-so-exciting life.
Stevie's review of Death Notice: A Novel by Zhou HaoHui, translated by Zac Haluza
International Crime Fiction published by Doubleday 05 Jun 18
I'm always intrigued by the forms storytelling takes in other nations, languages, and cultures, so I jumped at the chance to read a highly popular detective story from China, newly translated into English for the first time. The original copy I received was a sampler, with excerpts from each chapter, and while I was taken by the style, there wasn't enough of the story to follow what was going on. I was suitably intrigued, however, to demand that a full version be tracked down so I could properly enjoy and review the whole of what is the first instalment of what promises to be a gripping saga.
Veena's review of Breathless by Celeste Bradley & Susan Donovan
Historical Romance published by St. Martin's Griffith 12 Jun 18
These two authors have done a masterful job of blending two love stories and two time periods flawlessly. Our modern-day protagonists, Brenna and Fitch, have an off-the-charts chemistry and a strong dislike of each other. Brought together by their search of the love story behind the erotic paintings by Le Artiste, they set off on a journey of discovery that will take them from America to England and then the Spanish Coast of Catalonia and a love story for the ages.
Stevie's review of The Princess Deception (Princess Affair, Book 3) by Nell Stark
Contemporary Lesbian Romance published by Bold Strokes Books 15 May 18
Shakespeare's Twelfth Night has spawned a lot of pastiches and reinterpretations, but I'm always happy to read, or watch, more. Especially, as in this case, when the author manages to put a different slant on the story. The book takes one of the central premises of the play, the heroine who masquerades as her twin brother, and brings it thoroughly up to date by making her a success in her own right and who takes on the disguise to protect her family, rather than to allow herself more freedom. In fact, this Viola finds the role of Sebastian far more restrictive than the life she has been living as herself; however, she is prepared to make the sacrifice for the good of not just her immediate, royal relatives, but also her native country and its closest neighbour.

Stevie's review of Old Baggage (Mattie Simpkin, Book 0) by Lissa Evans
Historical Women's Fiction published by Transworld Digital 14 Jun 18
What's a woman to do when the cause to which she's given the best years of her life is now a historical curiosity to most people, and merely an incident from which to move on from to those she fought alongside? Mattie Smith is a former suffragette, now reduced to giving talks on what it was like to be a suffragette or rattling around her house on Hampstead Heath, while beyond the garden wall, others from the campaign have families on which to devote their energies. Even her one remaining companion from the old days, the woman who she shares her house with, has a job besides helping Mattie at her evening lectures. Florrie Lee, known almost universally as The Flea, is a health visitor, and while her reduced circumstances mean she is forced to live with the often abrasive Mattie, with whom she is hopelessly, unrequitedly, in love, she does at least have a definite purpose for getting out of the house every day.
Kristie J's review of Adrift (Kill Devil Hills, Book 4) by Sarah Darlington
Young Adult published by Amazon Digital Services 30 May 17
This is another new-to-me author and a freebie on Amazon. It's the fourth book in the series. I think I would have been better served reading some of the earlier books, because I was somewhat lost and didn't know information that happened in previous stories that was important. It says it can be read as a stand-alone, but for full enjoyment and fairness to the book, I wouldn't recommend it.
Veena's review of Gambler: The Coalition Rebellion Ziem 2 by Justine Davis
Sci Fi Romance published by Bell Bridge Books 24 May 18
Another fantastic tale of courage and fortitude in the face of danger with a kick-ass cast of characters and enough twists and turns to make you dizzy. As many of you know, I am a huge fan of futuristic space opera romance. Ms. Davis has fast become one of my favorite authors in this genre with her tales of the various worlds that are a part of the Coalition of planets.
Stevie's Duckies Do Series review of The Signal Airships Series by Robyn Bennis
Military Steampunk Fiction published by Tor Books May 2017 – May 2018
I've been intrigued by the idea of this series since sometime before the first book came out, although it took me until the imminent release of the second to actually start reading them. Set in a world that resembles ours in a previous century closely enough to feel familiar, yet far enough removed to feel just that little bit alien, it gives us steam-powered airborne navies fighting an endless war – only varying from year to year in terms of which countries are allies and which are enemies. Our companions, as we explore this world, are Josette Dupre, an auxiliary officer in the Garnian Royal Aerial Signal Corps – currently at war with the forces of Vinzhalia – and Lord Bernat Manatio Jebrit Aoue Hinkal, a down-on-his-luck and short-of-funds aristocrat, whose uncle just happens to be a high-ranking general in the Garnian army. When the pair are sent on seemingly impossible missions, they must learn to work together – and to figure out which of their crew and supposed allies are really to be trusted.

With the assistance of ram-air, the ZX-10R motor produces 200hp peak-horsepower at the crank, making it a popular track weapon and canyon carver. For 2010, Kawasaki (like many of the motorcycle manufacturers) is choosing not to make any significant upgrades to its liter-bike offering, instead opting to freshen up the ZX-10R with styling cues from the ZX-6R.
Team Green loyalists will be glad to hear that the ZX-10R will get some upgrades beyond the 6R bodywork, in the form of an upgraded Öhlins steering damper, smoother gearbox, and redesigned blacked-out exhaust pipes. Videos, photos, and specs after the jump

Currently: rewrite of CPU_Frequency_Scaling#CPU_frequency_driver
Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary end
CPU frequency scaling enables the operating system to scale the CPU speed up or down in order to save power. CPU frequencies can be scaled automatically depending on the system load, in response to ACPI events, or manually by userspace programs.
- 1 Configuration
- 2 The CPU frequency driver
- 3 Scaling governors
- 4 Fine-tuning governors
- 5 User-space tools
- 6 Troubleshooting
- 7 External Links
Configuration of CPU frequency scaling is done through three mechanics:
- The CPU frequency driver
- The scaling governor
- Fine-tuning of the governor through user-space tools
Since kernel 3.4 the necessary CPU frequency driver modules are loaded automatically and the recommended ondemand governor is enabled by default. This leaves the user with a functional, on-demand, CPU frequency scaling setup requiring no intervention from user-space.
User-space applications like cpupower, acpid, laptop-mode-tools, or GUI tools provided for your desktop environment, may still be used for advanced configuration.
The CPU frequency driver
In order for frequency scaling to work properly, the operating system must first know the CPU(s) specification. To accomplish this, a kernel module must be loaded that can read and manage the CPU p(ower)-states.
Available drivers
- CPUFreq driver which utilizes the ACPI Processor Performance States. This driver also supports Intel Enhanced SpeedStep (previously supported by the deprecated speedstep-centrino module).
- CPUFreq driver for certain mobile Intel Pentium III (Coppermine), all mobile Intel Pentium III-M (Tualatin) and all mobile Intel Pentium 4 P4-M on systems which have an Intel ICH2, ICH3 or ICH4 southbridge.
- CPUFreq driver for certain mobile Intel Pentium III (Coppermine), all mobile Intel Pentium III-M (Tualatin) on systems which have an Intel 440BX/ZX/MX southbridge.
- CPUFreq driver for K8/K10 Athlon64/Opteron/Phenom processors.
- CPUFreq driver for mobile AMD K7 mobile processors.
- CPUFreq driver for FSB changing on nVidia nForce2 platforms. (AMD K7, Socket A)
- This driver supports Processor Clocking Control interface by Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft Corporation which is useful on some Proliant servers.
- CPUFreq driver for Intel Pentium 4 / Xeon / Celeron processors. When enabled it will lower CPU temperature by skipping clocks. You probably want to use a Speedstep driver instead.
You can check if the appropriate module for your processor has been loaded with
lsmod, part of kmod.
[user@host ~]$ dmesg | grep powernow [ 4.748680] powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor (4 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) [ 4.748709] powernow-k8: 0 : pstate 0 (3200 MHz) [ 4.748710] powernow-k8: 1 : pstate 1 (2500 MHz) [ 4.748711] powernow-k8: 2 : pstate 2 (2100 MHz) [ 4.748712] powernow-k8: 3 : pstate 3 (800 MHz)
Scaling governors
Governors can be thought of as pre-configured power schemes for the CPU, they alter the CPU's predefined power state that is exposed through the CPU frequency scaling driver. These governors can be built into the kernel or be made available as separate modules which must be loaded to be seen by user space applications. Users can load as many governors as desired, only one will be active on a CPU at any given time.
For Desktops and most systems, the ondemand governor can provide the best compromise between heat emission, power consumption, performance, and manageability. For Laptops or other mobile systems, the conservative governor can provide significant savings in power consumption.
cpufreq_ondemand governor is loaded by default.
Available governors:
- Dynamically switches between the CPU(s) available clock speeds based on system load
- The performance governor runs the CPU(s) at maximum clock speed
- Similar to
ondemand, but the CPU(s) clock speed switches gradually through all its available frequencies based on system load
- Runs the CPU(s) at minimum speed
- Manually configured clock speeds by user
The governors ondemand and performance are built into the kernel and do not need to be loaded as modules to be activated. If you want to use one of the other governors, you have to load them with modprobe. For example:
# modprobe cpufreq_powersave # modprobe cpufreq_userspace
Or, add a file specifying the desired governor(s) to /etc/modules-load.d/ and reboot.
/etc/modules-load.d/cpufreq_gov.conf # Load cpufreq governors cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_userspace
Fine-tuning governors
Improving on-demand performance
Changing the on-demand governor's threshold
On-demand governor sampling_down_factor
Tuning conservative governor
User-space tools
Changing the CPU frequency scaling properties from the defaults set during boot can be done through several user-space tools.
