Aurora, CO 80045
MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study?
Response: Subtle impairments in cognition are common with aging, even in the absence of clinically apparent dementia. Mild hyponatremia is a common finding in older adults; however, the association of lower serum sodium with cognition in older adults is currently uncertain.
We hypothesized that lower normal serum sodium would be associated with prevalent cognitive impairment and the risk of cognitive decline over time in asymptomatic, community-dwelling older men.

The 2013 legislative session is underway, and there are a number of policy changes under consideration. One hotly-debated issue involves whether the state should allow for multiple authorizers for charter schools (currently, only the State Board of Education may authorize charter schools). Moreover, several charter schools will testify before the State Board of Education in spring 2013 seeking charter reauthorization. As the issue of charter schools again takes center stage, we present an extension of our 2012 policy brief focused on charter schools. While our previous brief presented descriptive data on state's open enrollment charter schools, this policy brief takes the analysis one step further by presenting "value-added" data for these schools.

Last Sunday, Leslie Stahl used the coveted first segment on CBS's 60 Minutes to do a puff-piece on the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Her story, which included a minor scoop about the agency's work on cyber security, was covered all week in the tech press and gave DARPA another opportunity to strut its stuff on the national stage.
But it was a shameful piece of self-promotion, and adds another dud to the illustrious program's list of failures that includes a widely discredited 2013 report on Benghazi. That's unfortunate, because 60 Minutes has historically been at the forefront of investigative reporting, as the shocking and untimely death of Bob Simon Wednesday night reminded us.
DARPA is widely known to the public as the inventor of the Internet and the developer of a long list of military products used widely in the civilian world, from drones to robots to the Siri voice on your iPhone. It's also been a favorite topic for the national security and tech press for years because of the many dog-and-pony shows it puts on for the media. Opportunities like that can really get reporters' blood pumping (maybe that's why the web version of the DARPA story is sponsored by Viagra).
Stahl was just the latest to fall in DARPA's honey trap. In her twenty-minute segment, which included interviews inside the agency's glassed-in headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, she carefully avoided any mention of the agency's near-total dependence on private contractors and universities. Worse, she allowed agency officials to falsely obscure their past and their close working relationship with the National Security Agency and other elements of the surveillance state.
Her story focused on Dan Kaufman, director of DARPA's Information Innovation Office, also known as I2O. "DARPA Dan," as she called him, is "the man the Department of Defense has put in charge of inventing technology to fight [our] new Internet war." Kaufman told Stahl how his agency is using artificial intelligence—particularly a search program called Memex—to help US intelligence and law enforcement agencies identify and combat human traffickers, hackers and other criminal elements that use the "dark web" to spread and exploit misery.

Shared battlefield goals trump ideology among Syria rebels – for now
By Dasha Afanasieva REYHANLI, Turkey (Reuters) – Hardline Islamists fighting side-by-side with groups backed by the United States have made gains in northern Syria in recent weeks while showing rare unity, which some fear may be short-lived. An Islamist alliance calling itself Army of Fatah, a reference to the conquests that spread Islam across the Middle East from the seventh century, has seized northwestern towns including the provincial capital Idlib from government forces. The alliance, which includes al-Qaeda's wing in Syria, known as the Nusra Front, and another hardline militant group, the Ahrar al-Sham movement, is edging closer to the coastal province of Latakia, President Bashar al-Assad's stronghold. While the Islamist groups appear to be stronger than their Western-backed allies, it is a rare example of cooperation, just weeks after Nusra Front fighters crushed a previous U.S. backed rebel force in a blow to Washington's Syria strategy.
Egyptian president's Spain trip angers human rights groups
Rights groups slammed an official visit to Spain on Thursday by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, saying he should be shunned for his authoritarian rule rather than courted for business deals. Spain's King Felipe VI hosted the Egyptian leader to lunch at the royal palace after interior ministers from both nations signed an agreement to boost cooperation against illegal immigration, terrorism and organised crime. The visit, the first by an Egyptian head of state to Spain since 2006, comes amid mounting concern in the West over unrest in the Middle East with conflicts raging in Libya, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Spain's economy ministry said it had agreed to cooperate with Egypt on a possible high-speed rail link between Cairo and Luxor.

Nine years ago, while I was an undergraduate, I converted to Catholicism. Most people know that about me, and a lot of people think it's strange, and that's okay.
I read a lot then and I read a lot now; here are five books that helped me on my way (in addition to the numerous actual people I observed and whose example and conversation affected me):
- The Confessions of St. Augustine
- Granted, this great saint and theologian was trained in rhetoric in the classical Roman educational style, but his language draws the reader right in. He is so forthright in telling his own wrong-doings, the thought-process of his conversion and in describing the nature of God and how he discovered it.
- It's near-impossible not to be captivated by Augustine's style and emotion as unfolds the story. There is a lot I identified with and a lot that I learned that Augustine puts into words rather well.
- "Our hearts are restless until they rest in you, O Lord."
- After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre
- A tour-de-force modern classic of philosophy that goes through the history of the Enlightenment moral philosophers to explain why moral/ethical discourse today has gone astray and why we often have difficulty just talking to one another about it.
- He criticizes the Enlightenment, destroys relativism as a fall-back and proposes a modern Aristotelianism.
- When I was pondering the casual relativism so rampant on college campuses, no other book dealt with the philosophical difficulties therein so well or so broadly. In many ways, this book was for me intellectual permission to set a stance, to reject the proposition that there is no truth, but while maintaining respect for others.
- Interestingly, MacIntyre was not Catholic when he wrote this, but he did later convert.
- The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

When their debut, Horehound, came out last year, I figured that the Dead Weather would just be another notch on the bedpost of musical projects for drummer/singer Jack White (see also The White Stripes & Raconteurs). I was pleasantly surprised when I was greeted with a sleazy, leather-jacket wearing slab of 70's style rock (they even put some Zep-style blues raunch on a Dylan tune). It was simple, fuzzier than a moldy peach and most definitely rock but it still took me a few months to fully appreciate. I soon came to realize that what lay before me was a go-to rock record.
That's why I was chomping at the bit to pick up their latest album, Sea of Cowards. It's certainly more musically varied than their debut but the core elements are still there: thick distorted guitars and bass (with plenty of unrestrained feedback); the quirky organ & synthesizer melodies that make you wanna shake your ass; the simple but effective backbeat drumming raining with cymbal crashes. Lyrically and musically, each of these songs follow a most weird spiral inward, repetitiously meandering with (seemingly) no purpose until they flip the switch and the bands breaks out into a heavy, head-nodding groove. For me, the standout performance that claws its way to the top of this sloppy (in a good way) rock mess is the venom-spit vocal delivery from singer Alison Mosshart. Her vocal delivery on this album seems like the cue to let the band know when to turn it up and let loose for a few bars. Coupled with the occasional vocal duet from behind the drum kit, these chant-like mantras shake the listener with intensity. Here are the tunes I'm diggin' after the first few listens:
- The opener, 'Blue Blood Blues', steps in with a drunken swagger and a slippery guitar/bass line that serves as the perfect linkage for listeners from the last record. Some trippy, looped vocals at the track's end give way to the funky bass line intro of 'Hustle and Cuss'
- 'Jawbreaker' is another tune that comes in with a dirty, hip-swinging rock and roll feel before switching gears into a rapid-fire, stop & start descending drum fill/synth arpeggio that reminds me of the post-breakdown (~ 4:57 mark) drum pummeling of 'Dazed and Confused'.
- The truly bizarre 'Old Mary' simply because of it's foreboding, slurred organ drawl and killer final lyric (Carry this burden, now and till the moment of your last breath)
Just like the debut, I think that I will need a few months to digest this album as well. If the last record brought to mind 70's rock, it seems like the band has taken another half-step toward the 80s; the prominence of buzzy synth/organ lines is the most noticeable musical difference from their last offering. At first glance, it may seem like those crazy kids have simply found more ways to keep the retro-without-coming-off-as-trying-to-hard vibe going but I think that this record serves as a solid platform for The Dead Weather to continue building their own schizophrenic sound.

Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.
The Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the BNSF RR Swing Bridge across Bayou Boeuf, mile 10.2, at Amelia, St. Mary Parish, LA. This deviation allows the bridge to remain closed to navigation for eight hours on February 14, 2005, ten hours on February 15, 2005, and eight hours on February 16, 2005. The deviation is necessary to remove and replace the motor and transmission of the bridge.
This deviation is effective from 8 a.m. on Monday, February 14, 2005 Start Printed Page 4014until 4 p.m. on Wednesday, February 16, 2005.
Materials referred to in this document are available for inspection or copying at the office of the Eighth Coast Guard District, Bridge Administration Branch, Hale Boggs Federal Building, room 1313, 500 Poydras Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130-3310 between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The telephone number is (504) 589-2965. The Bridge Administration Branch of the Eighth Coast Guard District maintains the public docket for this temporary deviation.Start Further Info
David Frank, Bridge Administration Branch, telephone (504) 589-2965.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
The BNSF RR has requested a temporary deviation in order to remove and replace the motor and transmission of the Bayou Boeuf Swing Bridge across Bayou Boeuf, mile 10.2, at Amelia, St. Mary Parish, LA. The repairs are necessary to ensure the proper operation of the bridge. This temporary deviation will allow the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Monday, February 14, 2005, from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Tuesday, February 15, 2005, and from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Wednesday, February 16, 2005.
As the bridge has no vertical clearance in the closed-to-navigation position, vessels will not be able to transit through the bridge site when the bridge is closed. Navigation at the site of the bridge consists mainly of tows with barges and some recreational pleasure craft. Due to prior experience, as well as coordination with waterway users, it has been determined that this closure will not have a significant effect on these vessels. An alternate route is available by using the GIWW, Morgan City to Port Allen Alternate Route.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c), this work will be performed with all due speed in order to return the bridge to normal operation as soon as possible. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.Start Signature
Dated: January 13, 2005.
Marcus Redford,
Bridge Administrator.

Permanent Make Up - What is It?
The most advanced techniques of cosmetic tattooing are in line to provide you with your most desired face procedure through safe plastic surgery. By means of a permanent make up, enhancement of face color is achieved as the face procedure aims to to make the procedure work on the aims of on-the-go individuals. Most often than not, even the contour of the eyes, nose, and lips will be of better notice as the magic of the tattoo will give you.
How is permanent cosmetics achieved? First, there is a need to define that everyone can undergo the cosmetic procedure, regardless of age. Not only will it be helpful to 'enhance' but it will also be helpful to 'conceal' what is needed to hide (like scars and skin discolor). There are actually people who can not wear make up because they are allergic to any of its kind. Thus, the need to arise for permanent cosmetics.
Permanent Make Up - The Procedure
The skin is composed of layers of tissue that act as a protector of our body. The outermost layer called the dermis will be of our concern here. This layer will act as your access of tattoo application. It can actually be applied in any part of the body that you may wish although most of the procedures are done in the face. It is permanent because it cannot be faded by sweating and neither can it be washed off by soap and water. Fading is normal, just like your regular tattoo. That is why maintenance is required.
The first part of the procedure, which is the actual tattooing, will range from 1-3 hours. After which, a touch up takes place, but does not consume much time. The results may vary of course, however, the will always be of benefit as it is make up that will never bother reapplication.

Show your guests how to make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Lantern, or surprise the guest-of-honor with the whole crazy crew displayed over the party table. This quick and easy decoration will have all of your guests saying, "Whoa, dude! How'd you make that righteous turtle?"
Learn how to make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Lantern here!
You Will Need:
- Lime green round paper lantern (we used a 10 inch)
- Orange, blue, red, and purple crepe paper streamers
- Scissors
- Paper or cardstock
- Glue or tape
- Marker
Instructions: (Click on images to view full size)
1. Wrap a length of streamer around the lantern and cut it to fit. Don't attach it just yet.
2. Locate the middle of the streamer and cut openings for eyes. An easy way to do this is to fold the streamer in half and cut out a half-leaf shape. Repeat for the second eye. (You can also simply cut eye shapes out of white paper, and glue them onto the streamer.)
3. Lay the streamer on a flat surface, and tape a strip of white paper to the back, over the eye-holes.
4. Tape or glue the finished mask around the lantern, and it's turtle time!
You can stop here, or you can add a silly mouth using a marker and paper.
Now that you know how to make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Lantern, make the whole crew…
…using the streamers as masks!

I find it difficult to find eye shadows without the shine. Most palettes have a ton of shimmer colours but lack matte shades. Sometimes you just want a soft eye look without all the shine.
I picked up this Palette at my local Shoppers Drug Mart for a hefty price lol of only $5.99. I even used a little of the medium dark shade on my brows.
You can pick your Palette up at either your Shoppers or here.
Happy Blending!

Alberto Dorigoni, Pomologist at the Istituto Agrario di San Michele all'Adige in Italy's South Tyrol province, and Tom Auvil, Horticulturist at North American Plants in Lafayette, OR, offer some suggestions on what growers need to understand about transitioning to a multileader system.
Q: What do growers need to consider before going to a multileader system? Does it vary by crop?
Alberto Dorigoni: Do I want to build a fruit wall or large trees? Well, in the first case most of the time the size of my spindle trees is too large for it with some exceptions. In other words, multileader training is a quantitative tool: I can vary the number of leaders to shrink my tree canopy. The consequences are manifold, on management and mechanization. Most fruit trees species can be grown multileader.
Tom Auvil: The three basic systems in the Northwest are tall spindle, formal trained to horizontal wires, and multileader — two or more leaders per tree stump. The multileader is a very short fruiting limb up the leader/axis. The target number of leaders per acre is 3,200 to 3,800 leaders/axis per acre with a spacing of 16 to 24 inches between leaders in V-trellis canopies. Vertical would be about half and may not have the volume potential per acre as V. Strong-growing varieties such as 'Granny Smith' or 'Fuji' may need more space between leaders/axis than with compact varieties such as 'Honeycrisp.' The multileader systems may be more easily adapted to robotic harvest.
Q: What is the biggest mistake growers might make early on with a multileader system?
Dorigoni: [They] forget that a multileader is not meant to form ordinary big branches. Therefore, apple growers, worried about leaving enough room for tractors, choose wrong spacing between rows, 12-14 feet instead of 8-10 feet. [They] forget that that multileader needs more spacing on the row (about 1.5 feet/leader)
Auvil: Starting early to establish consistent even spacing. Some use heavy braided twine, others bamboo. In windy locations, anchoring the vertical guide to the trellis is important. If the leaders/axis slide down the trellis, "clumps" of leaders lead to clumps of leaves and fruit creating shade and production/quality problems. A "hack" is to apply a sticky, gripping paint material such as grafting paint (Doc Farwell's yellow cap as an example). A ketchup/mustard squeeze bottle dispenser is quick way to apply.
Q: Are there any varieties or rootstocks that are ill-fitted for multileader systems?
Dorigoni: No. Red and bi-color apple cultivars respond better than 'Granny Smith' of course. As for rootstocks, it is just a matter of choosing the right combination with plant spacing.
Auvil: High vigor scions on large canopy rootstocks will encourage feathers and branches to develop off the leaders. The goal is to form bourse/fruiting spurs [cluster bases or knobs] at every leaf node on the vertical leader, not branches. Good vertical growth is important, but not so much vigor that big branches are formed.
Q: What else can cause problems in production when it comes to multileader systems?
Dorigoni: [Growers] underestimate the importance of pruning in both winter and summer. Multileader is suitable to hand pruning and to mechanical pruning because trees produce weak branches that react mildly to headback cuts. On the other hand, weak branches, if left long, can cause unwanted fruit shading. It is like buying a race car to drive it off the road.
Auvil: As the number of leaders per stump/rootstock increase, so does the amount of manipulation and training required to establish a full, uniform canopy. One trick is to keep the growing points of the vertical leaders dominant, pinch competing growing points so there is limited competition to the vertical shoot. Keep the leaders/axis supported and the growing point upright. In second and third leaf trees remove bloom near the growing point from tight cluster to first bloom to encourage growth of the leader. Hand-held string thinners have been effective, though the results look scary for a couple weeks following application. Looks like a heard of deer/elk has grazed the block, but the result is surprising compared to untreated check.
Q: Is there anything else growers need to understand about multileader systems?
Dorigoni: Multileader requires major rethinking of the all standard parameters. New plant distances, different crop protection systems, and new simple machinery will eventually replace today's sprayers, platforms, and big trellis. Small will be more efficient than big and powerful.
Auvil: One of the things we are still wrestling with is the cost of trees versus cost/availability of labor at the right time. If three or four leaders require trading efficient (time and resource) canopy development for fewer trees, it can be a business decision of how much to spend on trees, versus the delay in production and the increase in doing the right thing at the right time. Craig Hornblow [Horticulturalist with Ag First New Zealand] summarized it well: "The biggest expense in orchard establishment is the time out of production," especially when looking at the marketplace and high value of many new varieties.
I have planted multileader systems in 2012, 2015, and 2016, returning to single leader trees in 2017, 2018. Grafting into a multileader system is much easier than growing trees into a multileader system. I think two leaders per stump is twice as difficult as growing one leader per rootstock/stump. Three leaders per stump are 10 times more difficult than one leader per stump to get a uniform, easy-to-manage system. Four leaders per rootstock/stump are 100 times more difficult than one leader per stump.

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
My sister was paying for lunch at her prestigious law firm cafeteria, when I broke the exciting news to her that I was moving in with my boyfriend.
Instead of "Congrats" or "Wow – that's a big step," she said, "You know if you break up, you can't stay with me. You know that right?"
My sister had her hands full with a new baby boy and a husband in a crowded apartment near K-town. But secretly, maybe she didn't think it would work out.
I was possibly too dependent on Lance*. I had just moved to the city and was still struggling with rent at my apartment at the time. I was interning and waitressing.
Lance lavished me with fancy dinners and offered me cheap rent to move in with him. I liked him and thought it was a way to save money and spend time more time with him.
After three-and-a-half years, my soon to be ex-boyfriend, Lance, told me, "I know your sister said you can't stay with her."
It was a year that nothing was going right. I let go from a job that wasn't the right fit, which was a blessing and a curse because I had no idea what I wanted to do.
So that summer, I mostly spent time in bars with foreigners getting drunk and watching the World Cup. I didn't even like soccer, but it was an excuse to get out of the house.
I didn't know it right away, but Lance and I were slipping apart as a couple.
Lance would pester me about job-hunting and getting serious about finding something. Instead of taking his advice, I bought the Jet Blue "All You Can Fly" pass to San Francisco, Long Beach, Houston and Austin to see family and friends in September. It was to recharge and figure out my life direction. I knew after traveling I wanted to stay in New York, but I still didn't know my career path.
Lance had his shit together. He billed a hundred percent at his PR company and impressed his boss and colleagues. I often complained to him I wasn't getting ahead, but he would remind me that he was eight years older and had struggled to get to where he is now.
From the beginning, I always had less money than Lance. He always had a stable job, while I struggled. We were at different points in our lives. I had only worked at literary agencies as an assistant and didn't aspire to become an agent. I didn't know what I wanted to do.
I returned from my cross-country vacation to our small 300-square foot studio apartment in Greenwich Village with high ceilings and brass plumbing.
Although Lance was on the lease, it was my home too. I knew all the doormen and neighbors and slept comfortably next to Lance every night. I could barely do a cartwheel and half in the place, but somehow we made it work with a combination of my grandmother's painting and my international magnets on the refrigerator to his Thomas Pynchon novels and his oversized foreign film poster I never remembered the name of.
We loved watching trashy movies together at home over a glass of wine and cooking new recipes together. We had built a tiny life together.
But after I returned, I noticed weird things about Lance. He would stay out later than usual with his friend Mark. When I would innocently ask him who texted him, he would say nobody. I was jealous and suspicious of his actions. Was there someone else or was he getting bored of me?
The breaking point was when I realized Lance and I hadn't had sex in three months. I confronted him when I got home one night.
It just got awkward. We were best friends on paper but the sex was terrible. Like putting bottle caps on Cokes all day at a factory. A job neither of us enjoyed any more.
We tried to have sex one last time, but it wasn't even worth it. He was attractive, but I would tighten up when we would have sex. It would hurt. He was too big and foreplay was laughable. I suggested using lube, but Lance was a clean freak and hated spilling lube on the sheets. He moved paper towels next to the bed to clean up, which didn't add to the sexiness.
We finalized our break-up in the typical talking-hugging-crying manner because our sex life sucked, he thought I was aimless and was a money drain on his life and we didn't see a future together any more.
I tried desperately to move out by early November, but could only find a disgusting place near Gates off the JMZ with the subway train literally outside the window. Lance gave me an extra month to move out.
Although we were broken up, he still truly cared about me.
Every day when he was at work, I would slowly get rid of things from my storage unit. Old clothes and books I would never read. I would spend hours taking the subway to see apartments on Craigslist to Crown Heights, Morningside Heights (too expensive to be so far north), the West Village (a creepy old guy would live in the living room, while I could stay in the bedroom), and Williamsburg (where I eventually moved).
In the middle of all this, I tried to get full employment as a hostess at a nearby French restaurant, but quit after a few shifts after finding out they had changed the schedule around and weren't giving me enough hours to live off of. Lance got me drunk off of whisky and beer to cheer me up.
It was a weird time because I would hang out separately with my own friends bitching about my situation. But Lance was still my best friend. I would still buy groceries for us to cook. I would still go out with Lance and his friends occasionally.
His friend Mark joked, "I know this is a hard time, but I'm excited for you. It's going to be fun." He proceeded to divulge funny one-night stand stories that I would soon live up to.
We still watched the same TV shows like Top Chef and screamed at the chefs that we hated. Yet, when we walked down the street, I tried to hold his hand, but then tossed it aside when I realized we weren't together.
We still slept in the same bed because his love seat was too short and uncomfortable. I would want to be spooned, but then turn away. Together but apart.
It was strange but exciting when I finally got my own apartment.
Lance was a neat freak who never let me leave a dirty dish in the sink. When I collected books from my job at a literary agency, he would complain incessantly until I put them in storage. He would threaten to grab all my clothes and things and shove them down the trash compactor when I had too much hidden in the closet. At least he always put the toilet seat down.
Lance helped me the first weekend of December to move into my place in South Williamsburg. I was going to live with two guys, both movers for art museums and galleries in the city.
My ever-helpful sister gave me a teapot and an air mattress to tide me over before I got my own bed. That first night I remember sleeping with three coats over me because my blanket wasn't thick enough.
As I stared up at the dark ceiling alone for the first time, there was an emptiness in my stomach that I wouldn't be able to find another guy, but I knew in my heart that I would move on eventually.
I had been reconnecting with old friends, who told me Lance was a jerk. All these weird habits I thought were endearing about him were actually annoying.
For example, Lance would always ruin the end of a TV show, movie or book without apologizing. And he would always brag about a better restaurant when you would be talking about a great Italian place you found in Soho. Everything was a competition to him. If I was still with him, I would never win.
I knew I had moved on when I started to sleep with my arms splayed out like a starfish and not reaching for Lance in the middle of the night. The next guy I'm with, I want him to share his life with me, instead of competing against me.
*Names have been changed.

Citing strong sales of its new handset models (Nokia 6300, N95 and E65), Nokia reported net revenue of EUR 12.587 billion and diluted EPS of EUR 0.32, excluding special items, growing 39% from Q2 2006. However, Nokia Siemens Networks had a challenging quarter. Some highlights for Q2:
- Nokia device volumes of 100.8 million units, up 11% sequentially and up 29% year on year. Nokia estimated device market share was 38%, up from 36% in Q1 2007 and up from 34% in Q2 2006.
- Nokia now expects industry mobile device volumes in 2007 to grow by 10% or more from the approximately 978 million units Nokia estimate for 2006.
- Nokia device ASP of EUR 90, up from EUR 89 in Q1 2007, however, the company expects this to decline, primarily reflecting the increasing impact of the emerging markets and competitive factors in general.
- Nokia's year on year market share increase was driven primarily by strong gains in Europe, Middle East & Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Nokia's market share in China was at approximately the same level year on year. Nokia had strong sequential market share gains in Europe, Middle East & Africa, China, and Asia-Pacific and to a lesser degree in Latin America. Nokia's market share was down both year on year and sequentially in North America.
- Nokia Siemens Networks posted Q2 net sales of EUR 3.4 billion. The company said sales were negatively impacted primarily by competition related issues as the price competition in the infrastructure market was unusually aggressive. Net sales were also impacted by challenges related to the start of operations, including delayed purchases by customers to a greater extent than expected, increased management focus on integration, and implementation of the previously announced compliance program, which also required certain management attention.
- Nokia Siemens Networks second quarter operating profit was negative EUR 1.3 billion, with an operating margin of -36.8%.
- Due to the weak performance, Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks are accelerating and increasing the new company's annual cost synergies target. The new aim is to achieve the approximate EUR 1.5 billion of annual cost synergies by the end of 2008 rather than by 2010. A further EUR 500 million of annual cost synergies are also being targeted.

Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE)
Independent Educational Evaluations
The Individuals with Disabilities Educational Act (IDEA) gives parents the right to request an evaluation that is completed by an unbiased third-party when they do not agree with the results of their child's school-based assessment, at no fee to them.
These evaluations can be academic, emotional, behavioral, social or communication related.
Psycho-educational Independent Educational Evaluations
At Gentry PBS, we have expertise in conducting psycho-educational IEE's for students from preschool through high school. We provide comprehensive evaluations for a number of psychological and learning issues including:
- Learning Disabilities
- Emotional Disabilities
- (e.g., anxiety, depression)
- Attention and Focusing
- Problems (e.g., ADHD)
- Autism Spectrum
- Disorder
- Asperger's Syndrome
- Cognitive and Developmental

- Augmentative or Alternative Communication (AAC)
Behavioral Evaluations and Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBA)
If your child has been demonstrating problem behaviors at school, his or her IEP team should have conducted a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) to determine why these behaviors were occurring. If an FBA was conducted on your child and you question the results or do not agree with the behavior support plan, you are entitled to request an independent FBA. The Gentry PBS staff include licensed psychologists and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) with expertise in conducting FBA's and developing social and behavioral interventions.
How to request an IEE
In order to obtain an IEE, you should write a letter to your school administration and special education director stating that you disagree with the school district's assessment and are requesting an IEE. You can find sample IEE request letters on the internet if you search for "sample IEE letters."
For more information regarding parental rights or the Independent Educational Evaluations, please call Dr. Gentry or Dr. Long.

Internet And Its Role In Easing Unemployment Problems
When you want some information, gone are the days when you asked your teacher or referred books, it's the internet which comes to your aid. Anything that you want to know about under the sun needs to be just looked for in search engines. Search engines can give us pages and pages of information but choosing the right page is left to us. For example, if we wanted to know something about a certain disease, typing out the name of the disease will open up many sites offering to give you information but some sites or links from professionals would always be the place you should look for.
If you need to read up reviews, that doesn't necessarily require professional expertise. People who have used a certain product can put their opinions on the internet and it is for the reader to either take the review positively or not.
Some of the websites on the internet are created by professional designers. They are called web designers and in a big place like Newport you could find many possible offers of a good web design Newport. Looking up the designers previous work and experience would give you an idea as to how good he or she is at web design NEWPORT.
Other jobs such as online sales and marketing, teaching or tutoring students in different subjects, and consulting can be very lucrative if there is a good level of customer satisfaction.
Today, the concept of content writing and online journalism has grown by leaps and bounds that there is no dearth of jobs for writers nor is there any shortage of manpower.
The Internet has been very useful in this manner by bringing down the unemployment rate in many countries and we also see that the internet has permeated into every corner of the world.

They would question on why you do not want to be weighed, ask you questions on how you have been eating and things. They cannot force you do do anything you do not want to but they make take it as a red flag warning and they may jump to bigger things like hospitalisation. I know when I was at CAHMS a few time I refused to be weighed (Have EDNOS too), refused to show them my arms (self harm) and refused to tell them of any of my thoughts, they took it serious and I landed 2 months in a psych ward.
But again, they cannot force you and they cannot put you in hospital unless you are a clear danger to yourself or others. They will probably just question you on it. Good luck x

Hi all 🙂 Happy Thursday!! Hope your week is going good. I keep chanting in my head about how ready I am for FALL! I'm just REALLY tired of the heat. Not to mention, I can't hang in the sun anymore with this skin issue so I don't like being hot when I don't want to be. Logical huh?
This post is quite random but it is thing on my mind so it's what I'm posting
Yesterday, while in a doctor's office (yes, I was triyng a new doctor. She basically told me I need to find some miracle dermotologist probably in another town, great..) I came across this chandiler! I thought it was really unique! So, while waiting a few hours, I snapped a pic :/ I need a fun chandiler for my dinning room. It is the only fixture in the house we haven't replaced!
Akin's Natural Food is a store very similar to Whole Foods. Though, it is not quite as big. There really aren't NEAR as many store locations. There are a few in Oklahoma and a few in one or two other state. Sorry folks! However, the one by my office is expanding and now has MANY more items! I really like Whole Foods but it is in no way convient for me. It is across town. So, I'm going to Akin's a bit more often. I've seen things Whole Foods doesn't have & things they do…vice versa as well. Even if you don't have a Whole Foods close, check out a natural food store because they probably do have some same or similar things that you might be looking for!
I was so in shock of all the new things they had, I took these pics…they had two other cold sections along with this one… Some of the produce section..
You know, I've come across several blogs that post which items you should buy organic and which don't really matter. Well, I came across this article the other day on the Washington Post. It says that there really have not been enough studies to indicate that organic foods are making people healthier. Should we just encourage people to eat fruits and veggies versus recommending them to pick organics? I would really prefer NOT to comsume any pesticides. I do by some organic and some not. It really depends where I am and sometimes if something is on sale, I will stock up. I came across this article posted on the FDA's site about washing and pesticides coming off. This article on Martha's site is a good one. It tells you time in your life when you should aim to buy organics. It also tells you which items are most likely to have pesticides and which items are least likely to have pesticides. Check it out. This came to mind, because while at Akins, by the produce section, they had several sprays for removing pesticides off. Do they work? I have no idea. I'm willing to do some research though.
While at Akins, these were a few of my favorite things I bought yesterday..
Food Should Taste Good chips (website here)- Jessica first introduced me to these. I tried the tortilla ones and LOVED them. Yesterday, I bought the sweet potato ones and I love those too. They really are SO good and they are good for you! Well, as much as a chip can be 🙂

Drew's All Natural Poppy Seed Dressing (website here) – It.Is.So.GOOD
Dominext Eggplant Parm Bites (website here– I am a HUGE eggplant parm fan. I get it when we are out to eat if the restaurant has it. I came across these in the frozen food section and they are ALL natural. They only have 30 calories per bite. Of course I tried them as soon as I got home. I loved them. Hubby even commented how good it smelled. I figure it is pretty healthy for a frozen finger food. Hey, at least we won't resort to pizza rolls or bagel bites as we have many a time.
Last night, hubby had steak and I had salad and cauliflower. Yes, I used the poppy seed dressing. It was delish! When Brent and I went to a cooking class back in January, we made a delicious baked cauliflower. Cauliflower is really good for you and by seasoning it up some, can be yummie. I couldn't find my recipe from the cooking class but I looked one up and made it. It was great and very similar to the one we had! A lot of people are creating things that make cauliflower seem similar to mashed potatoes. Yet, MUCH more healthy. I'm thinking of trying to do something like that soon. Here is what I did….
Before going in oven..
My husband is going to say dont post that picture..because it doesn't look good. Well, it may not but it SURE tasted good! Give it a try! I really should start using my camera and not my iphone. Sorry
This is the recipe I used. I found it a Epicurious.com.
1 small head of cauliflower (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter rimmed baking sheet. Cut cauliflower in half, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices in single layer on prepared baking sheet; sprinkle with salt. Roast until cauliflower is slightly softened, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in lemon juice, mustard, and lemon peel.
Spoon mustard-lemon butter evenly over cauliflower and roast until crisp-tender, about 10 minutes longer. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. If desired, rewarm in 350°F oven until heated through, about 10 minutes.
Transfer cauliflower to platter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
What should I make tonight? Decisions, decisions…
Tomorrow night we are going to dinner with a group of friends 🙂 Our friend Jen is leaving for a vacation so we wanted to hang with her before! Saturday night, we will probably eat movie popcorn for dinner because we are going to see the Time Traveler's Wife, WAAAAHOOOO!! (Just kidding on the popcorn for dinner part, well maybe!)
Have a good day!!
xoxo ~ Megan

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will face no further action from the Football Association following his sending-off against Southampton on Saturday.
The 54-year-old was sent to the stands by referee Craig Pawson for encroaching on the pitch during stoppage time of his side's 1-0 win at St Mary's.
Unlike players, however, there are no automatic bans for red-carded managers and any additional punishment depends on the referee's report.
In this case, Mourinho appears to have taken the referee's decision without any further comment or reaction and the matter is closed.

I have formatted my system six times in this week. My system is continually restarting. Re-installation of Windows dose not work. Is there any way to make my system well and to stop this problem?
Do you hear any beeps or noises before it re-starts? Or any errors? I would start testing for the fan. That issue is very common with computers when they overheat. Open the case, and place a fan directly towards it while you work. If it stops rebooting, it's the fan.
Sounds like you are getting the Blue Screen of Death and windows is automatically restarting. Follow the procedure in Saikat's link to ensure it doesn't automatically reboot.
As the above people mentioned it is probably a hardware issue.
By the way, it doesn't restart every 2 hours does it? If it does, use a different operating system than Windows 7 RC :)
Sounds to me like it could be a hardware issue too. Maybe the power supply or hard drive. I would explore other options like different operating systems before replacing anything though.
If re-installing Windows doesn't help I don't think those steps will help; it sounds like a hardware issue to me. See if Saikat's advice helps, but if not I'd recommend booting up a Linux CD and seeing if the rebooting happens on that platform as well. I recommend Ubuntu:
If this restarts in the same way we'll know for sure that this is a hardware issue.
I had this problem in Windows XP once. The solution is actually simple. Check out the advice given in this link.

Education Projectors Buyer's Guide
Just about every projector made supports a Kensington lock feature. Projectors with this feature have a small, metal reinforced hole somewhere on the case of the projector that allows you to attach a cable lock to secure the projector to a larger more secure object. While this is a deterrent to the opportunistic thief, it is not likely to slowdown the professional who will come prepared to cut the cable.
Perhaps one of the more creative solutions to theft prevention was first introduced in the
|UK Orange Education Projector
If you're mounting your projector on the ceiling, consider using a secure mounting device that can make it difficult to remove without the proper tools. If you're sharing equipment using an A/V cart, consider using your Kensington lock to secure the projector to the cart. It will not stop a determined thief, but it will significantly reduce the risk of loss through opportunity.

I have a post on today's roster movement up over at the FanHouse.Â
One thing I forgot to mention in that post is that Bruce MacLeod lists Ty Conklin as the starter tonight against Montreal. This is in keeping with the goaltender rotation announced yesterday. For the record, I recant my comment about a goaltender controversy in this post. Garth argued me into a corner on that and then the news broke about the rotation.

Ho, Ho, Ho: More Family Antics
Sunday night was a busy time for representatives of the sprawling Stanley Ho family.
First, the law firm that says it represents the 89-year-old patriarch, Oldham, Li & Nie, issued a statement saying attempts to reach a settlement among Mr. Ho's four families were unsuccessful.
It also said Mr. Ho, known to many in Hong Kong and Macau as the "King of Gamblers," instructed the law firm "to take all available action" to see that his casino interests are divided equally among the four families.

Ho Chi Minh City was formerly named Saigon, until the communist North Vietnamese invaded it on the 30th April 1975, winning the war against the capitalist South. Now it's the largest city in Vietnam, with over 9 million people living there. Now imagine: one every two has a motorbike. Yes, the roads are a mess.
This is truly a hidden gem, but I think it's worth it only if you're already around the area.
Right at the heart of the city, this pagoda is a place of worship for the locals, whom you'll find lighting up incenses and praying to the gods. The atmosphere is pictoresque in its dark and smokey rooms with plenty of figurines to admire.

Warren Haynes' long-anticipated solo album, Man In Motion (Concord Records), is a timeless collection of songs that crackle with modern vitality yet draw on his deepest roots as an artist.
The disc pumps fresh blood into the heart of soul and blues, stoked by Haynes's Herculean prowess as both a powerhouse singer and guitarist — a reputation he's earned as a member of three of the greatest live groups in rock history: The Allman Brothers Band, The Dead and his own Gov't Mule.
In a sense, the vocal-driven Man In Motion is an album he's been aching to make since he first dreamed of becoming a musician.Read more

Back To Newsroom
The songs "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas," "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" are staples of American holiday music written by Johnny Marks. The "Rudolph" song itself came to Marks from a story book written earlier by his brother-in-law, Robert May. Further, some of the inspiration for Marks to write this song based on May's book might have come from yet another family connection—his father, Louis B. Marks, a prominent engineer and inventor who in 1906 became the first president of the then-new Illuminating Engineering Society (IES). The Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute now houses the Louis B. Marks collection of technical books, journals and other materials, transferred to the LRC by the IES in 1993. Could the younger Marks have been thinking about his father's career when he wrote this familiar and "illuminating" song about a red light that saved the holidays?
Interestingly, LRC research on perception under headlamp illumination of different colors under inclement weather like blowing snow (http://papers.sae.org/2001-01-0320) confirms that the red color of Rudolph's nose was a very fortunate circumstance. LRC researchers John Bullough and Mark Rea measured peoples' ability to perform a driving task while looking through a simulated nighttime snowstorm. The headlights in that study could be red, yellow, white or blue-green, meaning people had to look through visual noise illuminated by different colors while performing the driving task. Performance was best under the red light and worst for the blue-green light. Bullough's and Rea's results showed that the light reflected by blowing snow when driving at night is least distracting when the color is red and that sensitivity to conditions like their simulated snowstorm may be influenced by rod photoreceptors in drivers' eyes, which are more sensitive to "blue" light and less sensitive to "red" light. In other words, the light from Rudolph's red nose could help make rooftops more visible by making blowing snow less visible!
About the Lighting Research Center
The Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is the world's leading center for lighting research and education. Established in 1988 by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the LRC has been pioneering research in solid-state lighting, light and health, transportation lighting and safety, and energy efficiency for more than 30 years. LRC lighting scientists with multidisciplinary expertise in research, technology, design, and human factors, collaborate with a global network of leading manufacturers and government agencies, developing innovative lighting solutions for projects that range from the Boeing 787 Dreamliner to U.S. Navy submarines to hospital neonatal intensive-care units. In 1990, the LRC became the first university research center to offer graduate degrees in lighting and today, offers a M.S. in lighting and a Ph.D. to educate future leaders in lighting. With 35 full-time faculty and staff, 15 graduate students, and a 30,000 sq. ft. laboratory space, the LRC is the largest university-based lighting research and education organization in the world.
