Note: This bottom line focuses on therapeutic touch as an energy-based treatment. The following techniques have been excluded: healing touch, Reiki, and Qigong. Research examining the effects of physical touch in general, rather than as part of therapeutic touch, was also excluded.
Therapeutic touch (TT) is a four-step technique developed by Dolores Krieger, RN, PhD, and Dora Kunz in the early 1970s from traditional folk medicine.
TT practitioners make little to no actual physical contact with the person receiving treatment. Instead, they practice the technique by holding their arms at a short distance from the subject. The TT practitioner aims at detecting a person's energy field to fix any imbalances. Nurse Healers Professional Associates, Inc. offers primary training in TT and teaches a standard method. A formal certification course for this therapy is lacking.
There are four basic steps in TT: centering (focusing on the person to help calm them), assessment (detecting imbalances in the person's energy field), intervention (helping to produce a balanced flow of energy into the person's field), and evaluation (confirming and concluding treatment). Treatment sessions typically range from five to 30 minutes.
Several forms of the original treatment have been developed, one of them being healing touch and the Healing Touch Program®, developed by Janet Mentgen, RN in the 1980s. The goal of healing touch is to restore balance and harmony to a person's energy system. Other features of healing touch include empowerment, self-care, and the influence of the relationship between the practitioner and the person being treated.
It has been argued that the concept of TT, that there is a "life energy" or "life force," is a spiritual rather than a scientific principle due to its religious roots. Practitioners have been unable to provide a scientific explanation to support its potential effects, which has made it difficult for scientists to validate TT. But positive results in human trials, encouraging clinical experience, and case reports continue to lend support to the technique.
TT is commonly used in nursing practice for a wide range of health conditions. The strongest evidence supporting the use of TT is in the treatment of pain, anxiety, and stress reduction. There are inconclusive results in the treatment of Alzheimer's dementia, well-being in people with cancer, and wound healing. TT is generally recognized as safe, although its safety has not been proven.
Several studies have been conducted on TT; however, it remains controversial.
Therapeutic touch (TT) is viewed as a holistic therapy (impacting all aspects of health), due to the concept of connection of the human and environmental energy fields.
It has been suggested that practitioners have nine specific qualities if they want to practice TT. These include: an intent to help another, an ability to concentrate, an ability to center, a state of wellness, a feeling of compassion or love, transmission of the environmental energies, effortless effort, an ability of mental visualization, and a sense of confidence.
The "healing triangle" model has been described, establishing three necessary qualities for both providers and subjects to possess. These include patience, which combines perseverance, humility, and concentration; intention, in which subjects determine their will to get well; and imagination, which is a combination of the first two characteristics.
Subjects have described their TT experience as enhancing physical, mental or emotional self-awareness. The effects experienced after the treatment could be categorized into physical, mental or emotional, and spiritual effects.
TT practitioners make little to no actual physical contact with the subject. Practitioners typically hold their arms at a short distance from the subject, although they may physically place their hands on the subject's head, shoulders, or feet at the beginning and end of the treatment. The TT practitioner aims to detect a person's energy field and to fix any imbalances in it.
There are four basic steps in TT: (1) centering (focusing on the person to help calm them), (2) assessment (detecting imbalances in the person's energy field), (3) intervention (helping to produce a balanced flow of energy into the person's field), and (4) evaluation (confirming and concluding treatment). Treatment sessions range from five to 30 minutes.
In adults, TT has been given in single or multiple treatment sessions, lasting 3-50 minutes each. TT has been used 1-2 times daily, once to several times weekly, or once monthly, for up to 15 weeks.
In children, TT has been given in single or multiple treatment sessions, lasting 5-60 minutes each. TT has been used daily for three days or three times weekly.
Evidence Table
These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
There is some evidence to suggest that therapeutic touch (TT) may reduce anxiety and stress in adults with heart disease and mental illness. Some studies showed improvement in anxiety in healthy people. Other trials found that TT may lack benefit on pre-surgery anxiety in people with heart disease, and on pre- and post-surgery anxiety in people with breast cancer. However, the quality of these studies is questionable. Other research found that TT lacked benefit in reducing anxiety and pain in women undergoing procedures such as breast biopsy (removal of breast tissue). Further research on the usefulness of TT in anxiety disorders is needed.
Much research has been done on the use of energy therapies, including TT, for pain management. TT has demonstrated some benefits in reducing pain associated with surgery, burns, cancer, and arthritis. Although early evidence is promising, many studies on TT are of low quality. More high-quality research is needed to confirm findings.
Research has shown that TT may reduce stress response in children and adults. However, research in this area is inconsistent. Some studies found a lack of evidence of benefit that TT reduces anxiety in students. More high-quality studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness of TT for stress.
Many complementary and alternative medicines have been studied for the management of arthritis. Early research suggests that TT may benefit people with arthritis by reducing pain and improving hand function. However, overall evidence is weak, particularly for osteoarthritis. More research is needed before a firm conclusion can be made.
Early research found that TT was similar to placebo in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome in terms of muscle response, pain, and relaxation. More high-quality studies are needed before a conclusion can be made in this area.
Studies suggest that TT may benefit people with dementia. TT may reduce screaming or shouting behaviors, anxiety, and aggression, as well as promote relaxation. Research has found that massage and touch may treat conditions such as agitation, anxiety, and depression in dementia. Although promising, further high-quality research is needed in this area before any firm conclusions can be made.
Early research evaluating the effects of TT in type 1 diabetes has found a lack of evidence of benefit. Further study is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder that affects joints, muscles, and tendons, and has no definite treatment. Complementary therapies, including TT, have been used to help relieve pain. Early evidence shows that TT may reduce pain and improve quality of life in people with fibromyalgia. Further study is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Early study suggests that TT may produce a medium effect on physical and mental outcomes in people with headache. Early research suggests that TT may reduce tension headache pain. More research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of TT for headaches.
There is a lack of evidence to support the use of TT as a treatment for high blood pressure. Early research reviewed the effect of "laying on of hands" and found a decrease in blood pressure, which was attributed to the placebo effect of the study. Further study is needed before conclusions can be made for or against the use of TT in high blood pressure.
There is a lack of evidence to support the use of TT as a treatment for HIV/AIDS. More research is needed on the use of TT before conclusions can be made.
TT has been suggested to promote the flow of breast milk. However, early evidence has lacked significant results. More research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
TT has shown benefit in premature babies. In hospitalized newborns, TT reduced post-birth complications and decreased the average length of stay in the hospital. TT-trained nurses have also reported lower heart rate, improvements in breathing, sucking, and swallowing, and increased ability to rest and engage with the environment. More high-quality research in this area is needed to confirm these early findings.
Early evidence suggests that TT may benefit children with mental disorders. Hospitalized adolescents were able to communicate better and feel relaxed after therapy. However, more high-quality research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
There is a lack of strong evidence to support the use of TT as an additional therapy with rehabilitation. Although early results are promising, more studies are necessary before any specific conclusions can be made.
Researchers suggest that energy-based techniques may help promote relaxation. Early study suggests that TT may promote relaxation in people in pain. High-quality studies are needed before a conclusion can be made.
Early research has found inconsistent results on the use of TT for people who have had surgery. Benefits have included reduced pain and cortisol (a marker of stress), although a lack of benefit has also been observed for complications and mortality. Further high-quality research is needed in this area before any firm conclusions can be made.
Early research suggests that TT may benefit people with cancer in terms of reducing pain and anxiety, improving well-being, and reducing side effects of chemotherapy. However, available research is low in quality. Further study is needed before a firm conclusion can be made in this area.
Studies have found mixed results with respect to TT for wound healing. Some research suggests that TT may promote wound healing, while others found that TT lacked effect on healing. Further research is needed in this area.

Tradition / Theory
The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Bone healing, burn healing, cancer, childbirth, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, epilepsy, grief, heart disease, menopause, movement disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, multiple sclerosis, muscle relaxation, palliative care (focuses on quality of life), Parkinson's disease, postpartum care (care after childbirth), sarcoidosis (chronic widespread inflammation), sinus infection, sleep quality, trauma, well-being, well-being during pregnancy.
Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.
Therapeutic touch (TT) is generally safe for most people. It is believed that the sessions need to be shorter in children and that the technique should not be used to replace proven therapies to treat potentially serious conditions. TT is likely safe when given by a trained practitioner.
Use cautiously in people taking depressants, as TT may cause added sedation.
TT may cause low blood pressure. Caution is advised in people taking drugs or herbs and supplements that lower blood pressure.
Use cautiously in people with autoimmune disorders or those taking agents that affect the immune system. TT may affect white blood cell levels.
Use cautiously in people with fever or inflammation. TT may send "life force" into an already weakened person.
Use cautiously when TT is given by a practitioner who is upset or ill, as this may transfer to the subject.
TT may cause anxiety, crying, dizziness, irritability, nausea, restlessness, and tension headache.
TT may also interact with agents that affect the blood, agents that affect the immune system, agents that affect mood, agents that lower blood pressure, Alzheimer's agents, depressants, pain relievers, and sedatives.

HIGH POINT, N.C. --- Four members of the Lees-McRae College men's soccer team have been named to the Conference Carolinas Academic All-Conference team for the first time in their careers, announced league officials Thursday.
Lees-McRae (9-6-1, 5-3 CC) has enjoyed a resurgence this season, clinching a top-half finish in the league standings and the fourth seed in next week's conference tournament following a 2-0 win over Mount Olive College this past Saturday. The Bobcats stretched their winning streak to three on Wednesday night, earning a 3-2 victory over Lincoln Memorial University on Senior Night.
Scott Alford (Hillsborough, N.C.), Andrew Shoemaker (Raleigh, N.C.), James Smith (Eastbourne, England), and Ryan Gillespie (Holly Springs, N.C.) represented Lees-McRae as one of six schools with four or more honorees on the academic all-conference teams.
Alford has put together one of the best seasons of his career this fall, tallying six goals and three assists to rank second on the team in scoring with 15 points. The Hillsborough, N.C. native tallied two of his strikes on Wednesday night in the Bobcats' 3-2 win over Lincoln Memorial, pushing his career total to 15 goals, seven assists, and 37 points.
Shoemaker has played an integral role in the Bobcats' success this season, setting a career-high with five points, including a trio of assists while directing play in the center of the park. The Raleigh, N.C. native netted his third career goal this past Saturday, adding an insurance strike with a deft piece of skill to cement the Bobcats' victory over Mount Olive.
Smith has been a large part of Lees-McRae's rise over the last three years, tallying eight goals and 11 assists as the Bobcats' controlling midfielder. The Eastbourne, England native put together perhaps his best season in 2011, posting six goals, eight assists and two match-winners en route to a spot on the all-conference second team.
Gillespie is in the midst of perhaps his most influential campaign with the Bobcats, wearing the captain's armband for much of the season while directing the back line from the right back position. A native of Holly Springs, N.C., Gillespie tallied his fifth career goal earlier this season at Milligan, converting from the penalty spot to spur the Bobcats to a 3-2 extra time victory.
Lees-McRae returns to the pitch on Tuesday evening when the fourth-seeded Bobcats host the as-yet-to-be-determined fifth seed in the quarterfinal round of this year's conference tournament at 7 p.m. on Tate Field.

Steve Kroner subbing for Ron Kroichick for Round 3 of the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic:
They played in the same group Thursday and Friday. They played together again Saturday, and put on an electric show on the back nine of Lake Merced Golf Club.
Stacy Lewis and Lydia Ko will tee off in the last group for Sunday's final round of the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic. If Sunday's drama matches Saturday's theater, "Classic" will become an appropriate description.
Lewis is at 10-under-par 206 for three rounds, good for a one-shot lead over Ko. Each fired a 4-under 68 on Saturday, Lewis' round was bogey-free.
After three days together, Lewis joked that she and Ko might be "running out of things to talk about."
Lewis, 29, quickly complimented Ko, who turned 17 on Thursday.
"I love to play with her," Lewis said. "She doesn't take much time. We both kind of play fast. We got into a good rhythm there going back and forth."
Said Ko: "It's just really good for me as a rookie to play with a player like Stacy. It's a great opportunity for me to learn from another great player."
Ranked third in the world, Lewis churned out pars for the first 11 holes Saturday. Ko, No. 4 in the world, made birdies on the par-4 fifth and par-5 sixth to grab a one-stroke lead over Lewis.
Ko's lone bogey of the day came at No. 11, dropping her into a tie for first with Lewis. Then came a highly entertaining bout of "Anything you can do …"
Each woman birdied No. 12, a par-3, to get to 7-under.
Ko chipped in for birdie at the par-3 15th. Moments later, Lewis drained a birdie putt and both players were at 8-under.
"It was really fun watching Stacy play," Ko said. "It kind of made me feel like I needed to play better."
Lewis' said she and Ko fed off each other.
"I think it's made both of us kind of elevate our game," Lewis said. "It's a hard golf course, yet we're still making some birdies on it."
The birdie binge continued at the par-4 16th. Lewis coaxed home a putt from somewhere near the Daly City BART station. She estimated the putt was a mere 45 feet. Sure enough, Ko stayed even with Lewis by jarring another putt.
Lewis birdied the 17th, which Ko parred, giving Lewis her one-shot edge.
Two years ago, Ko became the youngest winner in LPGA history when she won the Canadian Open as a 15-year-old amateur. Lewis played with Ko in that final round.
"I was impressed then," Lewis said. "I think the best part of her game is … the maturity. Playing away from pins and not going after every pin. She is fearless out there on a couple of them, though.
"She definitely doesn't play like she's 17."
Golf Channel cameras captured Ko's father, G.H., reacting exuberantly as Lydia charged on the back nine. Dad caddied for daughter in last week's tournament in Hawaii in which she finished tied for 32nd.
"Last week, I was missing a lot of putts," Ko said, "so when he sees them going in this week, he's kind of surprised, and I guess the emotions are going."
Jenny Shin is in third place at 6-under after her second 68 in three rounds. She will join Lewis and Ko in the final group. Hee Young Park also shot a 68 and is in fourth, a stroke behind Shin.
Shin, Park or someone else could challenge Lewis and Ko on Sunday. That's one reason Lewis said she cannot afford to think of Sunday's round as simply a match-play duel with Ko.
"The golf course is so hard," Lewis said, "you can make a bogey really quick if you're just playing the person next to you.
"I think we're both going to probably stick to our game plans and (it's) going to be close coming down to the end. Hopefully, it's the good golf we saw today. I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun."

Poll – Was the Final Call of the Seahawks vs. Packers Monday Night Football Game the Worst MNF Call of All Time?
I'm a huge Seahawks fan - like so huge that I was jumping up and down in the middle of Buffalo Wild Wings as it appeared that the Seahawks had beat the Green Bay Packers in tonight's (Sept. 24) Monday Night Football game. However, after seeing the replay, it became rapidly clear to me, and the other Seahawks fans in the bar, that we had nothing to cheer about. Although the refs didn't see it that way, I can say that I did see it that way. Next thing I know everyone in the establishment, and those on TV, began throwing around the notion that it was the worst call in MNF history. I definitely think it is one of the worst, and since I'm a die-hard Seahawks fan, one I'm fairly embarrassed about. What do you think?

Word on the street is that Nissan will add $2,400 to the price of the Leaf next year bumping the total cost of the car up to $35,200. That still clocks in well below the cost of the Chevy Volt, which has a price tag of $39,995, and for the increased cost Nissan will be adding a few extras to the all-electric vehicle. The fast charging port and cold weather package will become standard in all Leafs and with the $7,500 tax credit from the government for this zero-emissions vehicle the new cost to consumers will be $28,520 – still pretty affordable.
With the new cold weather package, Nissan Leaf owners will be able to enjoy heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, heated side mirrors, larger vents for the rear passengers as well as a heater for the battery to zap it to life on cold winter days. The fast charging port will cut charging time in half for drivers and was previously a $700 add on. In addition to the new features — which Nissan says come in response to comments from drivers who have been out on the road already in their Leafs — they will be releasing the Leaf in a handful of new markets next year.
"Many enthusiastic consumers have eagerly anticipated ordering a Nissan LEAF of their own, and now we can make zero-emissions mobility a reality in more markets," said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America. "In response to direct feedback from Nissan LEAF owners, the features that customers want most will come standard on the 2012 Nissan LEAF – including quick charging and cold-weather features." New reservations will be taken starting this fall in Connecticut, Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York and by the end of the year residents in Delaware, Indiana, Louisiana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island will be able to pre-order the upgraded and more expensive Leaf.

I found this collection of items at a thrift shop in Parksville, BC earlier this year, and was told they arrived at the shop together, from the same donor. I knew it would be a challenge to figure out how all of the pieces fit together, if they fit together. But if I couldn't figure it out, then perhaps I could receive some assistance from some of my readers who I just know would love a good jigsaw challenge like this one.
Here's what I have:
1) Postcard photograph of young woman and man, labelled "Sister & Brother. Sister is Dead."
When we look at the reverse of the post we see that it is a Solio postcard, never sent through the mail. Solio postcards were made from 1903 through to the 1920s. We can narrow that time frame that the postcard was produced to after 1907 since the postcard back has a centre line dividing into the back into two: one side for the address, the other for correspondence.
2) A letter dated "Aug the 30 1881" No addresses provided, no envelope. The greeting reads, "Dear sister and Brother," and is signed off, "Mary King." The letter describes the fact that Mary is leaving Mrs. Parr in search of work. She tells her sister and brother that she doesn't have a new place yet but they can write her at Olney and she will have them forward their letter to her. She asks that they give Minnie a kiss for her.
3) A report card, written on "First National Bank, Olney, Ill" stationery, dated April 15, 1896.
"Miss Bahr: Please find your grades...[listing of grades and subjects]. Yours truly, RN Stotler."
4) Obituaries cut from newspaper. Two obits for Dr. J. C. Shafer, one dated Dec. 30, 1930. One obituary for Dr. E. L. Palmer, dated March 23, 1926, along with a photo from the newspaper.
So, you probably can tell, this is going to be a long analysis of clues. We'll start with items #2 & #3 in Part One of this blog post.
Robert N. Stotler was a cashier at the First Bank of Olney as well as the Superintendent of Schools in Richland County, IL1. Miss Bahr was obviously a student.
The only viable match I have been able to find for Miss Bahr is Minnie Bahr, born in either December 1873 or 1877 in Noble, Richland County, Illinois2 3 . She was the daughter of Fredric Bahr and Tiberia King. The only problem I have with Minnie, is that if the report card was hers, and she was born in 1873, that would make her 23 years old at the time of the report. Far too old, I think, to be finishing her second year of high school, her highest grade attended4. If she was born in 1877, as many of the censuses report, then it is a possibility, although I think it may still be a stretch. The original date on the report card was preprinted 188_. When the report card was written, the digits 96 were written over the final 8 and the blank space. I am fairly sure it reads 1896. These details could be firmed up by locating Minnie's birth record and trying to find student records for Noble School. Perhaps an archive in Richland County would have these.
What do you think? Is this Minnie, "Miss Bahr?" Her mother's maiden name fits in nicely with the accompanying letter signed "Mary King." Of course, these items may not even be connected, except perhaps, geographically. How they made their way to Parksville, BC is unknown, but perhaps we can eventually figure that out as well. I will look into Tiberia King and possible King connections in Part Two.

Online Roulette: Top 4 Roulette Tips to Always Win
Below are five tips to help you to win at the roulette table online. There are numerous roulette systems online but without following these tips, you are at a higher risk of losing:
1. Know When to Stop
There are many people who get to their set goal in profit but then think "Oh, another $100 will not hurt." But it can and more often than not will hurt your casino bank balance. You need to be strong and stop once you have hit your goal. That bring us onto the next point:
2. Set a Goal and Stick to it
This is similar to the previous point: You need to set yourself a realistic goal that you will attempt to gain in one roulette session and then when you hit that goal, stop for the day. But what goal should you set? I suggest that you stick to the following:
Day 1: $100 Day 2: $150 Day 3: $250 Day 4: $350 Day 5: $500
Generally, you shouldn't exceed $500. Only move onto the next goal if you reach the previous goal. By this, I mean that on Day 1, you must reach $100 before you move onto the next goal. There is no point in having an unattainable goal.
3. Do NOT Use a Basic Martingale System
This does not mean that an advanced and adapted Martingale system will not work. But do not use the simple and basic Martingale system. You might have 2, 3, 4, 5 or more good spins but it will go horribly wrong at some point and you will lose… EVERYTHING.
4. Find a System that Works for YOU
There are numerous systems out there but system a might work for someone and system b might work for another. You need to test systems to find the one that works well for you. If you are planning on paying for a system, which is highly advised, then you are better off purchasing a system that gives you several methods so you are at a higher chance of finding a system that will work well for you.
Good luck in your ambitions of making money with the roulette online.

Update: Vote in our poll below
HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — The punishment for this blow will be severe. It has to be. It better be.
There is no logical explanation for the wicked elbow Metta World Peace delivered to James Harden with 1:37 to play before halftime of the Lakers-Thunder game.
Even if the player formerly known as Ron Artest pleaded temporary insanity, it would explain the foolishness he unleashed on an unsuspecting Harden after his fast-break dunk. The chest pounding celebration is one thing. But hauling back with and unleashing that elbow on a totally unsuspecting Harden has all of the elements of a player gone completely off the edge, even if it was just a momentary lapse.
And I don't want to hear that it was just playoff intensity and that MWP didn't mean to swing his elbow the way he did and smash it into the side of Harden's head. Whatever his intention, the result was dreadful. And it's not a joking matter. If Harden was knocked unconscious no one would be joking about this on Twitter.
There is no overreaction to a shot like this. There is no other context that needs to be understood. The video (above, in slow mow and from a couple of different angles) says it all. And I'd say the same if Pau Gasol or Matt Barnes had thrown that elbow. There's no place for it outside of the UFC.
That's why the penalty should be swift and severe, at least a vacation for the remainder of the regular season … for starters!

Micromanage tops Dover Stakes
Wilmington, Del., October 4, 2012 —Repole Stable's Micromanage, an impressive winner in his recent career debut at Saratoga, tops the $75,000 Dover Stakes at Delaware Park this Saturday. The mile-and-70-yard event for 2-year-olds has attracted a field of ten. Four colts who have placed in the Dover Stakes have gone on to win the Kentucky Derby the following year. Count Turf won the Dover in 1950; Carry Back finished second in 1960; Foolish Pleasure won in 1974 and Spectacular Bid finished second in 1978.
In his only career outing, Micromanage posted a 5-length triumph in a seven-furlong maiden at Saratoga on September 1. The Kentucky-bred son of Medaglia d'Oro conditioned by Todd Pletcher is a half brother to the multiple graded winning filly Indescriable, who won the Doubledogdare Stakes at Keeneland in 2009, and Elaflaak, who won a 2-year-old stake in England in 1999.

UPDATE: One Person Hurt After Shooting Outside of Press Bar in Downtown St. Cloud
ST. CLOUD - One person was hurt and taken to the emergency room after being shot outside the Press Bar in downtown St. Cloud on Saturday morning.
Officers responded to the call at about 12:30 a.m. and found a 31-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds.
Police say the victim was an employee of the Press Bar and told two women to leave the bar because they were underage. He later saw one of the woman walking toward the door with the suspect and followed them out. Once outside, a verbal argument started, with the woman and suspect both spitting on the victim before he was shot multiple times.
The victim was taken to the St. Cloud Emergency room and remains in the hospital at this time.
Police arrested the suspect in relation to the incident and is currently working to locate additional witnesses and evidence.
Police say the suspect has identified himself as 24-year-old Courtney Terell Holmes from Mississippi. However, investigators believe the suspect isn't providing his correct identity and are currently working with state agencies for information.
As of Sunday afternoon, the suspects true identity hasn't been confirmed.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact St. Cloud Police at 320-251-1200, or the Tri-County Crimestoppers at 320-255-1301.
Crime Tips can also be texted to the Tri-County Crimestoppers. Enter 274637 ("Crimes") into the destination box, start your text with TRITIP, enter a space, then type in the tip information.

Research Highlights
November 2010
Power Plant Pollution's Bedtime Story
Aerosol particles form in nighttime plumes from coal-fired power plants
Gases given off at night from power plants get converted into ultrafine organosulfate and organonitrate particles by morning, contributing to haze and air quality problems. Credit: Scott Butner. Enlarge Image
Results: Many studies show how daytime emissions from coal-fired power plants lead to ultrafine particles, linked to climate and health issues. But few studies watch what happens at night, when conditions favor different reactions. Now, thanks to a team of scientists led by Dr. Rahul Zaveri of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, we know pollutant gases given off at night, which remain concentrated in the atmosphere, can react with naturally occurring compounds to form troubling aerosols.
Why it matters: These ultrafine aerosols are a major component of haze and contribute to health problems, such as chronic bronchitis, and are enough of a concern that the Environmental Protection Agency regulates their concentrations. These pollution particles are also implicated in climate change issues at regional and global scales. The present work will lead to better computer models for air pollution, which do not currently take into account the nighttime birth and growth of ultrafine particles.
Methods: The team of scientists performed 17 research flights using the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Gulfstream-1 aircraft during the 2002 New England Air Quality Study field campaign. During the day, regional surveys were performed in the southern New England and Mid-Atlantic states. The nighttime data were gathered over the Boston urban area and in the Salem Harbor power plant plume. Repeated aircraft sampling in the power plant plume was guided by a constant-altitude Mylar balloon (filled with helium and air) that was released near the power plant at sunset. The balloon was equipped with small, light-weight instruments to measure temperature, pressure, humidity, and ozone. The balloon also carried a GPS transmitter to allow the scientists onboard the aircraft to locate its position as it floated downwind through the course of a night.
On the evening of July 30, 2002, the team tracked the Salem Harbor power plant plume with the help of the balloon for a period of 7 hours over a distance of 170 miles, from Boston to about 85 miles south of Martha's Vineyard. The specialized instruments onboard the aircraft sampled the plume for aerosol particle size distribution and composition as well as concentrations of pollutant gases such as sulfur dioxide, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
In analyzing this data, a multi-year task, the team found that at night, the concentrated power plant exhaust creeps atop the temperature inversion in the air where the atmosphere is relatively calm, allowing time for different kinds of chemical reactions that might not occur during the day. In the absence of photooxidation, ultrafine sulfate particles form from the small amounts of sulfuric acid that is often directly emitted from the power plant. Additional aerosol mass composed of organosulfate and organonitrate chemicals can then form via nitrogen oxide-initiated oxidation of VOCs from natural vegetation (e.g., isoprene) in the presence of highly acidic ultrafine particles.
What's next: Further laboratory, field, and modeling studies are needed to fully understand the complex nighttime aerosol chemistry in the atmosphere, and how the nocturnal pollution contributes to poor air quality, health problems, and climate change.

Stanczyk just loves the artistry and historicity of heraldic symbols. But, it was a bonus! At the site was a 1764 map of the Poland/Lithuanian Commonwealth.
As a double bonus, I looked at the whole website:
http://www.wawrzak.org/news_updates.htm and it is a site dedicated to Szlachta (Polish Nobility). It has Polish/English text. Very nice find for those with blue blood coursing through their genealogical veins.

Add your team's files
Move your files into Dropbox to keep them secure, and start sharing them with your team.
Adding your files to Dropbox is easy, especially with the Dropbox desktop application. Just drag and drop files and folders into your Dropbox folder, and we'll take care of the rest.
Everything you store inside Dropbox is private until you're ready to share it.
Adding files to Dropbox
The best, and easiest, way to upload lots of files to Dropbox is with our desktop application. It can handle files and folders of any size or number, and if you ever lose your Internet connection or shut down your machine, it'll pick up where it left off when it comes back online.
To get started:
- Download and install the desktop app.
- Follow the prompts to log in to your Dropbox account.
- Drag and drop your files into the newly created Dropbox folder.
- That's it - we'll take it from here.
Once files are added to your Dropbox folder, we'll start syncing your files to our website. You can keep an eye on the syncing progress from the Dropbox icon in your computer's system tray or menu bar, or check on individual files and folders. If a file or folder is still syncing, it will have a little blue icon with white arrows next to it. When syncing is completed, your files will have little green check mark icons next to them.
Tips for migrating lots of data
In most cases, adding files to Dropbox is as easy as dragging and dropping files into the Dropbox folder on your desktop. It can handle files and folders of any size or number and, better yet, if your computer ever loses it's internet connection during a sync, Dropbox will pick up right where you left of once it comes back again.
Note: If you're moving large amounts of data into the folder, the initial sync may take some time depending on your Internet connection. Please be patient!
If you're worried about the initial sync hogging your bandwidth and hard drive storage, here are a few tips:
- Try moving over active files first - that way, your team won't miss a beat. For older files, you can move them into Dropbox in stages. Some teams like to sync large batches of documents overnight, or during the weekend.
- Look into a 3rd party data migration provider. A quick internet search can turn up some reputable vendors that help companies move data to services like Dropbox.
- Use Selective Sync to move files off your hard drive and onto the Dropbox website (see below).
Saving your hard drive space using Selective Sync
When you start saving files in Dropbox, they'll take up hard drive space just like regular files do. If you're worried about running out of hard drive space while migrating data to Dropbox, use our Selective Sync feature.
Selective Sync is how you choose which folders are synced to a computer. Here are some important things to keep in mind:
- By default, your folders are saved on our website and on your computer. Just like your other folders, they will take up space on your hard drive.
- With Selective Sync, you can decide to have certain folders not sync to your computer. These folders will not show up in your Dropbox folder, but will still be available on the Dropbox website.
- Selective Sync needs to be set up on each computer individually. This way, you can choose which files are accessible on each.
We recommend using Selective Sync for files and folders you don't access very often, but it is also great for moving large amounts of data to Dropbox during your initial migration.
To free up hard drive space using Selective Sync:
- Add your files and folders to your Dropbox and wait for them to sync (see above for details).
- Click on the Dropbox icon in your system tray or menu bar.
- Click on the gear icon and then select Preferences.
- Go to the Account tab and pick which account (personal or work) you'd like to manage.
- Find the "Selective Sync" section and click Change Settings.... You'll see a list of all the folders in your Dropbox. By default, they will all have a checkmark next to their names, indicating they're saved on both your computer and on our website.
- Deselect the checkmark next to the folder's name if you want to remove it from your hard drive.
- When you click Update, the files will automatically be removed from your computer, but will still be available on our website.
Important: If you delete files from your Dropbox folder instead of using Selective Sync to free up space, they'll be deleted from your other linked devices. They'll also be deleted from the devices of anyone you've shared the files with. Be careful!

Hello Everyone,
I am new here..but what a fun group I have noticed..I have lurked here for some time.
Here are my positions and thoughts.
QASP I was in deep a few months back and got out and lost 4K. Just began to think it was dilution, dilution, dilution. Then in the last few weeks I have noticed some very positive PRs coming out.. I went back in..not quite as deeply. But it looks like dilution big time on Thursday...so I am so..see-sawing on this one. I will hold for a little while longer.
BEHL: I made a ton of money on this one way back..bought in at .0025 and sold at .05. I was very happy. Then bought back in at .035 thinking it would rebound...and...well still waiting. I think long term they will do well...but it might be a long time.
MGLG: Let's not talk about that one..went in knowing it was a gamble. It did not pay and I was out 5k. But...BEHL at the same time was going up..so it covered my losses..not that it really made me happy though.
ACAS: I have been in ACAS since the mid 3's and am doing very well....looking forward to some Divi's this summer. I believe this will continue to climb all summer.. perhaps reaching 7 or more.
AIB: looking at the 3 month chart I believe this is on a nice dip and will rebound as much as a dollar or more in the next 2 months. Take a look at its 3 month chart. Very intriguing.
LYG: Went into this one with some apprehension. Picked it up in the mid 3's and I think it will edge up this summer as well. It has already said that it believes that this year will be a profitable one.
IFSL: Sub-penny stock that looks real good...please tell me why this one is not going up...I have no idea... They are posting profits..yet it sits there like a dead fish at the bottom of the boat.
HIMX: This is an outstanding stock...No debt and solid profits along with dividends. I have swing traded this for the last two years with very good results. Watch for it to dip back in the high 2's. I think 2.85 would be a good purchase. I think it will continue to go up 2 steps back one for the rest of the year.
Well that should give you an idea of the stocks I am playing with currently. I will have more questions and discussions for you guys in the neat future. I look forward to having fun with all of you on the board.

A seven-liter is now a 427 CID small block? Mike
Price point is expected to be GREATER than the current ZL1 model, which starts around $53k I think.
So now what makes a small block different than a big block these days? I thought it used to be dictated by CID size (with the 400 CID small block aside). Mike

2013 Honda CR-Z: New Car Review - Video
Describing the 2013 Honda CR-Z isn't straightforward. Honda describes it as a sport-hybrid, but it's really not very sporty, nor does it offer the same levels of fuel economy that most hybrids have. "Quirky," we think, is the word that best describes this little gas-electric runabout.
Comfortable Cabin
Despite its small size, the interior layout of the CR-Z can accommodate a tall driver and a passenger, with comfortable seats made from quality materials. You read it right -- one driver, one passenger, no back seat. The CR-Z is a 2-seater with a rear compartment that can hold, at most, a couple bags of groceries.
There are two trim levels: base and EX. Our preference is the EX, which will give you a powerful 360-watt audio system and the option of Honda's satellite navigation system with a 6.5-inch touchscreen. All CR-Zs are equipped with steering-wheel-mounted controls, Bluetooth connectivity and a USB input for your iPod.
Hybrid Motion
For propulsion, the front-wheel-drive CR-Z has a sophisticated drivetrain comprising a 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine connected to Honda's Integrated Motor Assist Hybrid System. In a nutshell, the 130-horsepower system, with its recently upgraded lithium-ion batteries, gives the CR-Z added thrust when accelerating. When the brakes are applied, the system directs juice back into the battery pack via regenerative braking. And for an extra dose of efficiency, an idle-stop feature shuts the engine off at rest and reengages it when the brake pedal is released.
The CR-Z has three driving modes -- Sport, Normal and ECON. There's also Honda's Plus-Sport feature that gives the CR-Z an extra kick when needed. Furthermore, the CR-Z is the only hybrid in the U.S. market with a standard 6-speed manual transmission. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is optional.
Fuel economy is good but not astounding for a hybrid. The Environmental Protection Agency rates the manual transmission CR-Z at 31 miles per gallon city/38 mpg hwy. The CVT comes in at 36 mpg city/39 mpg hwy.
A base CR-Z costs $19,975. The EX begins at $21,655. Other cars to look at include the Toyota Prius C, a real mileage champion with a back seat; the Mazda2, which isn't a hybrid but is an economical fun machine; and the Kia Rio with a low, low price and big 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
The Final Say
The 2013 Honda CR-Z fits somewhere between a spirited hatchback and an around-town commuter while delivering some of the latest in-car technology. Well configured on the inside and eye-catching enough to stand out from other subcompacts, the CR-Z is aimed at the urban driver who cares about the environment but still wants to experience the joys of motoring.

OAKLAND, Calif. � The attorney for a 14-year-old California boy says his client has been charged with murder in his older sister's shooting death that authorities say came during a dispute over laundry.
The teen's attorney, Adante Pointer, said Thursday that the charge includes a gun enhancement and his client also faces three counts of felony gun possession.
Pointer says Alameda County prosecutors have decided to charge the boy as a juvenile and not as an adult. He's scheduled to appear in court Monday.
Authorities say the boy shot his 17-year-old sister inside an apartment building in Oakland's Chinatown neighborhood Jan. 23. The siblings were each parents of young children.
The boy surrendered to police Wednesday.
The Associated Press normally doesn't name minors suspected of crimes.

(Reuters) - Panasonic Corp (6752.T) will slash a significant portion of its mobile phone business as it struggles to make headway in the global smartphone market, dominated by Apple Inc (AAPL.O) and Samsung Electronics Co (005930.KS), the Nikkei said.
Panasonic, which sells mobile handsets in Europe and Japan, has been facing sluggish sales in Europe. It will close its mobile phone operations in the region as early as fiscal 2012, the Japanese business daily reported.
Domestic cell phone sales are also struggling because the firm lagged behind rivals in releasing smart phones, the daily said.
Panasonic will consider selling the Japanese cellphone business or forming a partnership with another company, it added.
The company has already begun restructuring its business by shutting down its domestic cell phone factory in Shizuoka Prefecture and moving production to Malaysia, the Nikkei said.
The company sold 5 million smart phones and generated some 130 billion yen ($1.62 billion) in sales from the mobile phone business in fiscal 2011.
The total cost of restructuring the business segment may total 100 billion yen, the Nikkei said.
As of July, Panasonic projected a net profit of 50 billion yen for the current year through March, a turnaround from the previous year's net loss of some 770 billion yen, it added. ($1 = 80.1650 Japanese yen)

I just want to give extra kudos to U.S. Rep. John Spratt for receiving the Distinguished American Award from the Nation's Capital Chapter of the Air Force Association. He is truly deserving of this honor. Over the years, Congressman Spratt has been a dedicated supporter of South Carolina's military bases.
He worked diligently to secure more than $100 million in building projects for Shaw and helped the base remain a viable force in our state. Congressman Spratt has also helped local National Guard units obtain the Army's top-notch artillery system.

Tom Waterhouse sued by bookmakers
Tom Waterhouse has been sued for allegedly withholding almost $250,000 of profit from betting agency Bet247.
Bet247 alleged in a writ filed with the Supreme Court of Victoria that, despite an August 2011 deal, Mr Waterhouse withheld from it profit of $247,979 from August 2011 to December 2012.
The deal was made between the two bookmakers after the betting agency Sports Alive went into liquidation, and its customers told they could transfer their accounts to Mr Waterhouse. In exchange, the writ says, Mr Waterhouse agreed to pay Bet247 a profit under certain terms.
The plaintiff also claimed interest on the allegedly unpaid profit.
The writ, filed on Monday, contained a declaration that Mr Waterhouse's betting house distribute profits within 10 business days after the end of each month, that its profit calculations were shared with Bet247, and that further enquiries and an assessment of the accounts were made.
Mr Waterhouse has been at the centre of controversy over sports betting television advertising. His firm has shelled out millions of dollars to grab market share from larger and mostly foreign-owned rivals.
He was recently cleared of any wrongdoing over the More Joyous scandal, which saw the horse's owner John Singleton accusing him of obtaining sensitive information about the horse's health from his mother, trainer Gai Waterhouse.
Ms Waterhouse was fined $5000 after appearing before Racing NSW stewards over the case.
Marketing and communications manager for www.tomwaterhouse.com, Warren Hebard, said: "We are yet to be served but in any event we deny the claim."

Both epidemiological data and intervention studies have shown a role for dietary omega-3s in health management. Individuals who have the lowest intake of omega-3s are at greater risk for cardiovascular and related conditions. Patients with these conditions, as well as those with joint issues and mood disorders, benefit from taking omega-3s in excess of the recommendations for healthy individuals. As indicated below, the consumption of phospholipids in conjunction with omega-3s may bring additional health benefits.
Compared to fish oil as a triglyceride or as an ethyl ester, omega-3s from phospholipids produced the highest incorporation of total omega-3s, EPA, and DHA into the plasma phospholipids. In fact, the same increase in plasma EPA (146%) and DHA (43%) occurred after ingesting 62% less omega-3s from a phospholipid-rich krill oil compared to fish oil. The increased absorption was related to how phospholipids are digested. Fatty acids esterified to phospholipids are broken down by pancreatic phospholipase A2, which preferentially allows for the absorption of fatty acids in the sn-2 position. With phospholipids, there is a 50% increased chance of having an omega-3 on the sn-2 position over other triglycerides and ethyl esters. Krill oils in recent studies have been used as the phospholipid-based arm of the studies. Three clinical studies showed that small to modest amounts of krill oils produces significantly efficacious results compared to using fish oil at more than double these amounts.

It's official: Patrick Stump is a married man.
Stump, known best as the singer of Chicago-area pop punk quartet Fall Out Boy, married girlfriend Elisa Yao in Chicago Saturday (Stump's publicist confirmed the news). Later that night, Stump and fellow Fall Out Boy members Pete Wentz and Joe Trohman headed to Angels & Kings, where Wentz is a co-owner, and stayed until closing. Stump's dogs, for some reason, were also at Angels & Kings, which is located in the Hard Rock Hotel.
Fall Out Boy went on hiatus in 2010, but Stump has said in past interviews that the move was not permanent. The Glenbrook South High School alum, who was the best man at Wentz's wedding to Ashlee Simpson in 2008, released his debut album "Soul Punk" last year.
Stump is an admitted Prince fan and was on hand September 24 for the "Purple Rain" singer's concert at the United Center.

*** BUY MATCH TICKETS | Join Wasps FC Amateurs ***
Quote:Eric Browett
Why would you pity a season ticket holder of the champions of Europe and England? If they are being honest most people would prioritise winning over everything else. I'm the first to admit I'd like Sarries to be more adventurous at times and move the ball rather than kick chase, but if you asked me if I'd swap it for winning, no way.
I'm full of admiration for the way Wasps play, and at its best, as against Quins, it's mighty effective even on 35%-40% possession and territory. But you have to do it against the Cleremonts and Toulons, and dare I say it, Sarries, before you can start feeling sorry for me.
I've watched plenty of pretty Sarries teams and individuals over the years to know which I prefer.
Quote:Sarrie North (formerly South and Rous)
Bizarrely, if BB is accepted as a hugely knowledgable rugby expert, I enjoy watching Sarries win especially against the best opposition, in which I include the current Wasps team. I enjoy the physical confrontation in the game and when Sarries are able to release a highly talented collection of backs I enjoy watching them run in the tries that others say aren't scored. Clearly, like Eric, I'm a philistine.
I wish Wasps well for the season and I suspect we will see you again at the business end in one or more competitions which I will approach with the same degree of trepidation that I did this match. Meanwhile thanks for the company of the Wasps supporters who joined us at AP today, all very friendly and good company
Yep, lousy view from W16. Couldn't see anything without looking at the big screen. Might as well have watched it on BT Sport. Still think we need our forwards to be nastier and generally obnoxious, respectfully copying the Sarries style if necessary. We look too nice if that makes sense. Not sure Sarries were 3 tries and a BP win better than us but we just have to take it and learn from it.
Quote:Eric Browett
Sweet Caroline is always belted out sometime around the 70th minute and always during a break in play. Not sure if we do it if we're losing! Not saying it's right or wrong but i enjoy it and would honestly still enjoy it at oppo' ground if we were losing.
Quote:only two tv's
The thing that annoys me most about Carley is he doesn't talk to the players during play to help the game flow.
undeserved yellow card to Bassett, but otherwise a very impressive display.
Quote:Dave Berko
I thought the yellow card was very harsh. He grabbed his shirt (just watched replay).
maybe they thought Josh bassett was Chris Ashton
undeserved yellow card to Bassett, but otherwise a very impressive display.
It's very difficult to justify any tackle which is illegal in the NFL being anything less than a yellow!
Next week we cannot underestimate Zebre but a good chance for R&R for some of the lads.

Most of the writing on the Indian side of opinion is whether or not Warren has a legitimate claim to her Delaware and Cherokee ancestry. Strong language has emerged on the subject, rightly due to the fact that so many Americans claim Indian heritage without any idea of what being an Indian is all about. But between the Indian and non-Indian sides of the coin are a million slices of what-ifs and others. Example one: I met a woman whose husband was enrolled in Coweta Creek and got support for his considerable higher education costs. Beyond that, he knew next to nothing about his tribe. He was born into an African American family, married an African American and had a couple of wonderful children. His wife's question to me was how she could get the children enrolled after they had been informed the children lacked sufficient blood quantum. This mother was interested in her children's education and wanted them to have all the benefits they might be due as a result of their father's heritage. I did not have good news for them. Example two: my brother married a lovely French woman when he was in Europe with Patton in World War II. They married and had four great children. None of these children was enrolled in our nation because enrollment descends from the mother. Since my father's father was Stockbridge Munsee, my brother or I could have enrolled in that tribe, but my nephews and nieces lacked sufficient blood quantum to enroll. Either way, with their 50 percent blood quantum, they could not be called Indians in the parlance of our nation. I am not enrolled in Stockbridge Munsee in addition to my home Seneca Nation because Indians may not be dual citizens among tribes. I can choose one or the other, or as in my case, my mother chose my tribal affiliation when I was born. I can admire the Stockbridge Munsee from afar but I cannot join without leaving my natal nation. When Elizabeth Warren's mother told her she had Indian heritage and Elizabeth did not question it, should she have known that when she entered a political campaign years in the future that she would not only be questioned, she would be ridiculed, and that a Pandora's box of ugly behavior would emerge? And how quickly it emerged. How rapidly it spread. It seems there is a thin film of resistance that holds civility in check, but once the surface is pierced, all sorts of anti-Indian rhetoric and reprehensible behavior emerge, as if at the ready and simmering. The displays went well beyond addressing Elizabeth Warren's character or any genuine concern over claims to Indian identity by the undeserving. Of course the Indian opinion, as would be expected, was a spectrum of views while the Cherokee Tribe took a neutral position. Warren's opponent Scott Brown has apologized for some of the behavior of his staff, which was seen performing in a video, whooping and chopping the air. Meanwhile the Massachusetts senate race has taken on national interest because of its controversy. The free publicity is worth gold. Example three: I have another brother who married a Hawaiian and his children think of themselves as Indians as well as Hawaiians. They know they cannot be enrolled, but still they will not throw away their father's blood. They are proud of who they are and as Native Americans they have every right to be. But being Native American and being a member of a nation are marked by a chasm of difference. They can never be Indians. Does that mean the nation should change its ancient law that says who we are is who our mother is? It is a serious question with many arguments and sides. Tribes across the country are discussing citizenship, a standing that does not necessarily relate to blood quantum or as in the case of nations with no blood quantum, tribes ask how many generations will elapse before no trace of Indian heritage remains? It seems we are unprepared to settle these questions because there are many sides to the question of identity—it is not a coin but an icositetrahedron with 24 faces—as if the coin with its two sides grew into many planes. But that is what is really there when we address the question of Indian identity. It isn't that we should open the gates and let all the people in who say they have a claim to identifying as an Indian; but it isn't that we should close the gates and keep all the people out who under current tribal rules have no claim. The question is, what is it? Laura Waterman Wittstock, Seneca Nation, is a retired nonprofit executive and journalist. She currently hosts the live weekly radio interview program, First Person Radio, on KFAI-FM in Minneapolis, MN
The Elizabeth Warren Situation Is More Complicated Than Many Think
A ton of ink has been spilled on the subject of the Elizabeth Warren run for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts.

Lyrics: Owens, Howard
Music: Owens, Howard
Played on 11 June 1969 by Garcia, Lesh, Hart and Constanten (with John Dawson, David Nelson and Peter Grant) at a concert billed as "Bobby Ace And His Cards From The Bottom Of The Deck." The list is from DeadBase - no known tape of the performance exists. These are the lyrics from the original Buck Owens version:
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
I won't be much when you've got through with me
Well I'm losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Well I thought the day I met you you were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
Now the pace we're living takes the wind from my sails
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Well every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
There ain't no way to slow you down
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
