Searching For Chiropractic Clinics Near You?
If you frequently deal with back pains, neck pains, spine, and sports injuries, you might be searching for the best chiropractic clinics near Newark Arkansas. Chiropractic care is considered a holistic and alternative treatment option that triggers the body's natural healing abilities. It is a non-invasive treatment option where millions of Americans are benefiting at the moment. The approach is shown to treat more than a dozen of different conditions. One of the best things about chiropractic care is that the method is 100% drug-free and helps heal your body naturally. The treatment option is effective in dealing with headaches, back pains, ear infections, neck pains, joint pains, arthritis, bowel irregularities, blood pressure, asthma, improved mental clarity, and a host of other conditions. With hundreds of chiropractic clinics near Newark, one should be cautious when selecting the best practitioner in the area. Here are important tips to consider when choosing the best chiropractic clinics nearby your location.
Despite the popularity of the treatment method, there are many misconceptions about the field of chiropractic care. Many patients are still confused when it comes to how the practice works and how chiropractic professionals are trained. In fact, most of the chiropractic programs incorporate an entire year of Ph.D.-level training in different subjects. Hence, a chiropractic doctor is a highly skilled and trained individual out there. Like with all other professions out there, there are many quacks operating in this industry too. That is why it is important that you perform extensive research before deciding to work with the right chiropractic doctor in your Newark area. Your homework is essential to choosing the best candidate for the job.
Middle Back Pain On Right Side - What To Do?
Having to bear lower back pain accompanied with stomach pain is an experience no one should ever have to go through. Scientists and doctors all over the world are groping around, mostly in the dark, trying to put their finger on the cause of lower back pain. So far as women are concerned doctors are sure that lower back pain accompanied with stomach pain is related to their menstrual cycles and this is something that can be dealt with a fair amount of ease.
However, doctors have admitted that it is not an easy thing to pinpoint the cause of lower back pain accompanied with stomach pain. They insist that a patient who can keep a track of the symptoms and report them to the doctor will make the process of diagnosing the cause and arriving at a better and effective treatment an easier task.
Some of the causes of lower back pain accompanied with stomach pain are related to the more common urinary infections and kidney or bladder problems, then again you may have a serious bowel problem. Whatever the cause of your lower back pain and abdominal pain you will soon find that it is very difficult to pinpoint and even more difficult to treat effectively. Most treatments available will prove to be temporary in nature and the condition will recur frequently.
If you happen to have lower a bloated or swollen lower belly, this may be a warning flag for conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome. Notice fresh blood or tarry looking stools? This would need investigating as well.
Your pain may feel like it's coming from the womb or any other of your internal reproductive organs. This would mean you would experience the pain in the middle of the lower belly, just above the line of public hair about as far up as the navel. There might be more pain to one side than the other - usually an indication of an ovary being inflamed etc. If you have pain when you have sex, you would feel that deep in your pelvic area. The possible range of conditions is varied. You could be looking at pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, fibroids or maybe even endometriosis. In any event, don't wait call your doctor immediately.
Most of the wellness and health benefits associated with chiropractic care are due to the chiropractic adjustments received by the patients. These adjustments are important to place your body in the proper position so that it can heal itself. In fact, chiropractic adjustments help reduce the stress placed on the patient's immune system. This will release energy that is vital for maintaining homeostasis and preventing diseases. The treatment option addresses the whole body of the individual thereby improving his or her ability to think and act more positively.
A professional Newark Arkansas chiropractor prides him/herself on taking a drug-free, natural approach to helping the patient improve his/her wellness and health in the long run. In fact, the entire principle is built on the basis that the body has an innate ability to heal itself under the right conditions. The chiropractic doctor will help create the right environment for the body to start healing itself. The practice focuses on keeping one's spine properly aligned at all times. The nervous system controls every organ and cell in the body. Hence, if the spine shifts out of its proper place, it should be brought back into alignment without delay to prevent issues in the nervous system which can manifest as various diseases in the body. That is where a professional and experienced chiropractic doctor comes in handy.
Back Pain Muscle Spasms - Finding the Culprits
A combination of chest and back pain should be taken seriously, for it may be life-threatening. Chest pain in particular can signify any number of emergency threats to your health, including but not limited to heart attack, pneumonia, angina, pulmonary embolism, or even cancer. Get to a doctor or go to the hospital as soon as you can.
Pay close attention to your chest pain and back pain symptoms. Make notes on the details of your condition, if you can. This may help with diagnosing your condition for the most effective treatment, especially if this is your first experience with these symptoms.
The main determination to make is whether the pain you are experiencing is the short-term result of a strain or injury, or indicative of a long-term, or chronic, condition.
Temporary Pain
A key point to bear in mind is that any severe muscle strain can impact muscle groups next to it. Upper back muscles and many chest muscles work together for the purpose of breathing. Muscular injury usually heals itself within a few weeks.
Drugs may provide short-term relief of inflammation and other symptoms. Rest may ease the suffering. Cold or hot compresses on the pain site may soothe the pain as well.
Various forms of massage may bring some relief, and some have found that chiropractic care helps them. Both massage and chiropractic place an emphasis on spinal alignment and muscle tissue stretching.
When this type of pain is due to heart disease or a similar condition, changes in lifestyle may be necessary in order to achieve long-term pain relief. Such changes could include exercise and diet. Again, the main thing to remember regarding back and chest pain together is to get yourself checked out by qualified medical help immediately.
The American Chiropractic Association states that there are more than 70,000 chiropractic professionals operating in the United States alone. With so many to choose from, finding "any" chiropractic doctor is fairly easy. But you don't need "any" chiropractic when it comes to treating your condition. In fact, you want the "best" chiropractor in Newark to treat your specific condition. This is a bit trickier than finding just any chiropractic doctor in the area. There are many things to consider when choosing the right professional to treat your condition.
When provided by a highly skilled and experienced professional, chiropractic care is quite effective in healing a wide variety of conditions. The right professional should have a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experience. A personal referral from someone you trust is a great starting point when searching for any type of professional near Newark Arkansas. Ask your existing health care team, friends, family members or co-workers for recommendations in this regard. You may also hop online and read patient reviews and surveys on professional chiropractors operating in your area. Make sure you do the homework properly before scheduling your first appointment with the potential candidate.
Don't forget to check the credentials and experience of the potential candidate. Chiropractors are also known as doctors of chiropractic (DCs). They are highly trained professionals who have completed nationally accredited graduate-level programs. In addition to their 4-year undergraduate degree, a chiropractor should have a 4-year doctorate degree – similar to doctors of osteopathy (DOs) and medical doctors (MDs). Make sure the candidate you choose is licensed and a graduate of an accredited school of chiropractic. Evaluate his/her experience before you work with them. These are some of the most important things to look for when choosing the best chiropractic clinic in Newark Arkansas.

Chelsea Handler
Chelsea Handler is a stand-up comedian, cable TV host and the author of the memoir My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One Night Stands (2005) and the collection of essays Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea (2008). She grew up in New Jersey, and in the late 1990s moved to Los Angeles to start a career in comedy. Early on, she landed TV guest appearances and a regular stint on the cable comedy show Girls Behaving Badly (2002). Her career began to take off in 2005, with the publication of her memoir and with occasional "reporting" segments for Jay Leno's The Tonight Show. The next year she had her own show on the E! cable channel, The Chelsea Handler Show, which was followed in 2007 by Chelsea Lately, a late night talk show featuring Handler's smart-aleck commentary on pop culture. Like her contemporary Sarah Silverman, Handler specializes in raunchy comedy of the I-can't-believe-she-said-that variety. Besides her talk show, which ran on E! through 2014, Handler has done stand-up comedy tours, appeared in the web series In the Motherhood (2007, with Jenny McCarthy) and, in 2010, published her third book, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang.

Ok ok, so I've finally got around to doing a request, requested by many fans of "Black Veil Brides" a band that's been out for quite some time and made it's popular impression recently. This band is more of an alternative glam rock of some sorts, similar to KISS or Marilyn Manson. I don't really listen to this type of music due to so much screamo and hurt to my ears. This logo is pretty unique and cool. I love how the 'B's intertwine with the 'V', making it look ever so cool! I wonder who designed this; if it was one of the band members themselves, if you know, please leave a comment so folks are more aware of it's origin. Anyways, this was a fairly easy tutorial. I've had a few problems with the curves of the B's and the straightness of the V. Thanks so much for viewing and I hope all you BVB fans will enjoy this extremely requested tut. Peace out and good luck with your future draws! Love and peace.

cepAdhoc: Incisive comment on current EU policy issues.
cepPolicyBrief: Concise 4-page reviews of EU proposals (Regulations, Directives, Green Papers, White Papers, Communications) – including a brief summary and economic and legal assessments.
cepInput: Impulse to current discussions of EU policies.
cepStudy: Comprehensive examination of EU policy proposals affecting the economy.
Within the framework of the European Semester, the Commission wants to improve the surveillance and coordination of developments in social and employment policy. In addition, it wants to make EU funds available to combat unemployment and improve cross-border cooperation between employment services. It is also calling for an autonomous budget to absorb asymmetric shocks and the transfer of legislative competence regarding social policy to the EU.
The European Commission wants to set up a "Blue Belt" in the seas around Europe. It will strengthen the Single European Transport Area for Shipping by allowing vessels to operate freely inside the EU internal market with a "minimum" of red tape. For this purpose, the existing regular shipping service scheme is to be shortened and simplified and an EU-wide standard electronic cargo manifest ("eManifest") introduced detailing the status of the goods being carried - e.g. origin.
With renewables taking up a growing share of energy production, the European Commission wants support for renewables to be carried out more competitively. For this purpose, feed-in tariffs should be largely replaced by feed-in premiums and quota models. Degressive elements of the support system should mean that overcompensation and distortions of competition are avoided. Support for existing installations should not be changed retrospectively.
The EU Commission proposes an extensive overhaul of the digital single market rules. Part 3 of the cepPolicyBrief deals with the rules on roaming and cross-border connections within the EU.
Part 2 of the cepPolicyBrief deals with the notification requirement for telecomms providers, radio frequencies and virtual broadband access.
Part 1 of the cepPolicyBrief concerns net neutrality and the full harmonisation of the rights of end-users.
With the proposal for a Directive on a 2nd Payment Services Directive, the Commission wants to promote the European payments market and encourage transparency, security and innovation in relation to payments.
The Commission wants to restrict the level of interchange fees for card payments and eliminate anti-competitive business rules and practices.
The Commission calls for a Quality Framework for Traineeships (QFT) to improve the working conditions and quality of the content of traineeships as well as to increase the cross-border mobility of trainees.
In order to speed up the arrival of emergency services, in the event of an accident, by 40-50%, the European Commission wants to introduce an EU-wide, standard emergency system for road traffic ("eCall"). An eCall device inside the vehicle will allow an emergency call to be sent, either automatically in the case of a "severe accident" or manually by the occupants of the vehicle, via the mobile telephone network to an emergency response centre. The aim is to reduce the number of fatalities and severe injuries caused by road accidents.

Identification and charaterization of an iNOS-inhibitor
Search Medline for
|November 11, 2004
Nitric oxide (NO) prevents atherogenesis and inflammation in vessel walls by inhibition of cell proliferation and cytokine-induced endothelial expression of adhesion molecules and proinflammatory cytokines. Reduced NO production due to inhibition of either endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) or inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) may therefore reinforce atherosclerosis. Patients with end-stage renal failure show markedly increased mortality due to atherosclerosis. In the present study we tested the hypothesis that uremic toxins are responsible for reduced iNOS expression. Lipopolysaccharide-induced iNOS expression in mononuclear leukocytes was studied using real-time-PCR. iNOS expression in mononuclear leukocytes was blocked by addition of plasma from patients with end-stage renal failure, whereas plasma from healthy controls had no effect. Hemofiltrate obtained from patients with end-stage renal failure was concentrated, fractionated by preparative reversed phase chromatography, analytical reversed phase chromatography in the displacement- and gradient-mode with trifluoroacetic acid as well as triethylammonium acetate as ion-pair reagent. The chromatographic procedures revealed a homogenous fraction that inhibits iNOS expression in mononuclear leukocytes. Using gas-chromatography/mass-spectrometry the inhibitor of lipopolysaccharide-induced iNOS expression was identified to be phenylacetic acid. Plasma concentrations of phenylacetic acid were determined by magnetic nuclear resonance. In healthy control subjects plasma concentrations were below the detection level, whereas patients with end-stage renal failure had a phenylacetic acid concentration of 3.49 ± 0.33 mmol/l (n=41). It is concluded that accumulation of phenylacetic acid, a metabolite of phenylalanine, in patients with end-stage renal failure inhibits iNOS expression.

Cheesy Manicotti
Preparing manicotti used to be a true labor of love. Store-bought pasta just wouldn't do, so I'd laboriously prepare crepe-like sheets of manicotti pasta. The sauce was a homemade marinara, which simmered for hours. Then I discovered egg roll wrappers in my grocers' produce section. Not only do they eliminate a tremendous amount of preparation time, but the resulting dish tastes just as good as my original recipe. And, they don't require any precooking.
Today's supermarkets have an unbelievable assortment of pasta sauces, allowing busy cooks to cut preparation time without sacrificing quality. Combining the jarred sauce with the seasoned diced tomatoes gives the sauce the chunky consistency of homemade marinara.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine ricotta, 2 cups grated mozzarella, Parmesan, eggs, salt, black pepper and parsley in a large bowl. Mix well.
Note: The prepared, uncooked manicotti can be frozen in the baking dish, well covered with foil, for one month.

The sophomore foward Trevor Mbakwe left the Marquette program for good.
It's kind of like Brett Favre but the opposite. The poor kid has been debating on whether he should leave the team or not for the past year. Several months back, he announced that he would be leaving the team for a DII Minnesotan program for "personal reasons."
And now, he's decided not to return for personal reasons. Coach Buzz Williams has said that he's had a great summer working out with the team and he's being doing well academically. So it's decidedly not a physical or school-related issue.
I find it interesting that the guy goes through a summer of work outs and then leaves the team a month before the season starts. It's a shame that he's gone because that makes our front court even greener.
Good luck to you, Trevor.

Man held in school threats probe
A British man has been arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill 200 people which led to schools in America beefing up security.
The 24-year-old, from South Shields, South Tyneside, was in custody after apparently posting a message on Facebook two days ago.
According to reports, the post was made anonymously on an online memorial page. That led schools in Warren County, Tennessee, to tighten security, with limited access to premises. According to reports around 3,000 pupils were absent from school the next day.
A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "At 2.12pm today police received notification that a man had posted threatening information on Facebook.
"A 24-year-old man from South Shields has been arrested on suspicion of threats to kill and is currently in custody. The message is believed to have been posted on Wednesday.
"There is nothing to suggest he posed any physical threats to any schools either here or in America. We are currently seeking advice as to who has jurisdiction in this incident."
Bobby Cox, director of Warren County Schools, Tennessee, updated parents on Facebook, telling them: "We received notice of violent threats directed at Warren County High School late Wednesday evening. We put an action plan together with the local authorities to ensure the safety of our schools and our campuses across the system. We wanted to make sure that we had all the facts before we sent a mass message out via our calling system to you. Currently the Sheriff's Department is working with the TBI (Tennessee Bureau of Investigation) and Homeland Security to trace down the person who posted the message."
Security was being increased at schools and access was to be limited, Mr Cox said. "In the world we live in we can never be too cautious and must take all threats seriously."
Kirstin Helm, of the TBI, said the agency was unaware of any arrest. "Agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation are working with Facebook to try and identify the individual who posted the threat," she said. "So far, we have not identified anyone."
The memorial page was set up for a local student who died in October, a Tennessee newspaper said. Someone wrote on it using a false name. The Chattanooga Times Free Press said police were posted to 11 schools in the local area. Mr Cox told the newspaper: "It's sad that it kept kids home from school when they should be learning and having the best days of their life."

Message the act directly through the platform before paying a deposit through our secure and simple booking platform.
Let our acts take centre stage and blow you and your guests away with their performance.
Hiring a band for your event needn't be expensive. Many bands have different performance options and lineups to accommodate every type of event. This can make all the difference to your budget without compromising on a great performance that will have your guests up and dancing all night long.
Headliner helps you source and book great musicians, bands and DJs for your wedding, party or corporate event. Find and hire a local band for under £1000 for your event.
One thing you can count on is the movement of time, days, months, and years. You can also count on the occurrence of special occasions, events, parties, celebrations, and ceremonies along the way.
Just think, there are milestones to celebrate such as a 21st birthday, a 50th wedding anniversary, the day one actually gets married, and/or the day one graduates university. Aside from milestones, there are holiday parties, feel-good backyard gatherings, professional engagements and corporate events (i.e. festivals, fundraisers, fairs), fancy galas, family reunions, intimate dinners, and more.
All of these instances have one thing in common – inviting and booking live entertainment and performers enhance them all. Hiring local bands under £1000 not only boosts attendance or increase donations at fundraisers, they also keep guests entertained.
We've all attended uninspiring, boring events, at least once or twice in our lives. And, we've all likely said to ourselves, "It was a cool event, but the only thing missing was some type of entertainment."
While having fun is the easy part, trying to hire a bands under £1000 has been a stressful and difficult process for some time. From having the time to research acts and sending emails to negotiating terms and prices, securing live entertainment was once an overwhelming task.
That was until Headliner.io was launched.
With a vision to make booking live entertainment simpler and more accessible, Headliner was launched in June 2015. Essentially, Headliner is an online marketplace that connects world-class artists with event professionals and bookers looking to hire a bands under £1000.
Being seasoned music industry professionals and understanding the plight of musicians, along with having experienced the challenging consumer side of trying to book wedding bands under £1000 for their special day, the founders incorporated two major components to benefit both sides:
Gone are the days of sifting through pages of search results, missed phone calls, delayed emails, and bad contracts. Simply put, Headliner has eased the task of hiring bands under £1000 for parties, special events, ceremonies, or other occasions requiring live entertainment.
Headliner's streamlined process for finding a bands under £1000 for hire, to them actually showing up to your event, starts with a simple artist search.
Bookers can either search the 'Artists of the week', which is presented on the search page or use the 'Refine Your Search' feature to find and narrow down an exact match by using the following search criteria: event location, event date, price range, act name, performance type, genres, and event types.
For those who take to Google to search "how to hire a bands under £1000 near me" or "bands under £1000 near me", need to search no further. Searching on Headliner, anyone can zero-in on specific locations to find the acts they are looking for.
Throughout the searching process, bookers have the ability to click on any musician profile to acquire more information. From bios, videos of them in action, and their preferred event types to learning their specializations, listening to their music, and viewing their availability calendar. It's never been easier to hire a bands under £1000.
Bookers can also use the 'Wish List' feature to curate a collection of their favorite Headliner acts. Whether used to organize choices to make a final decision or to simply revisit profiles, creating a list of potential acts will definitely come in handy.
All carefully vetted, musicians can be messaged directly through the platform, with details of your event. A free no-obligation quote can be requested as well (no booking fees); responses are typically received within 48 hours.
Once a decision has been made to book a bands under £1000, the act can be confirmed by paying the requested deposit through a safe and secure booking system. As an added bonus, all payments are held in an escrow account, only to be released to the musician 48 hours after the event. This is to ensure 100% satisfaction.

Claude Shannon
A young freethinker, Claude Shannon (BSE EE/Eng Math '36, ScD hon. '61), published "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" in 1948. It was a landmark paper that posed a fundamentally new idea which propelled the world into the information age. Shannon was a fresh, exciting voice at Bell Laboratories when he wrote that paper. Today, he is considered the father of information theory and has been compared to Einstein. His study of logic and Boolean algebra at the College of Engineering convinced him that both subjects had applications in relay switching circuits used in telephone exchanges. It became the subject of his MIT master's thesis, "A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits," one of the most important master's theses of the century. Shannon received the National Medal of Science and the IEEE Medal of Honor, which are but two of his many awards.

Across the United States, college administrators are poring over student essays, recommendation letters and SAT scores as they select a freshman class for the fall.
If this is like most years, administrators at top schools such as Harvard and Stanford will try hard to find talented high school students from poor families in a push to increase the socioeconomic diversity on campus and to counter the growing concern that highly selective colleges cater mainly to students from privileged backgrounds.
Top schools often offer scholarships that not only include free tuition, but also free room and board for top students from poor families — meaning it can be less expensive for these students to attend Harvard than a state school or a community college, says Caroline Hoxby, an economist at Stanford who tracks these students.
Each year, however, colleges are confronted with a paradox: No matter how many incentives they provide, enrollment of highly talented, low-income students barely seems to budge.
After Harvard offered what was, in essence, a free college education to students whose families earned under $40,000 a year, Hoxby says, "the number of students whose families had income below that threshold changed by only about 15 students, and the class at Harvard is about 1,650 freshmen."
Hoxby says some college administers had confided to her that they had reluctantly come to the conclusion that the pool of low-income students with top academic credentials was just limited, and there wasn't much they could do to change that.
But in an analysis published with Christopher Avery in December, Hoxby has shown that this conclusion isn't true. There is in fact a vast pool of highly talented, low-income students; they just aren't ending up in top schools.
Hoxby says in an interview that she asked herself why talented students might escape the attention of college administrators, when the administrators were looking so hard for these students.
"The students whom they see are the students who apply," she says, of admissions officers. "And if a student doesn't apply to any selective college or university, it's impossible for admissions staff to see that they are out there."
Hoxby found that the majority of academically gifted low-income students come from a handful of places in the country: About 70 percent of them come from 15 large metropolitan areas. These areas often have highly regarded public high schools, such as Stuyvesant in New York City or Thomas Jefferson in the Washington, D.C., area.
Low-income high-achieving students at these schools have close to 100 percent odds of attending an Ivy League school or other highly selective college, Hoxby says.
The reasons are straightforward: These schools boast top teachers and immense resources. They have terrific guidance counselors. Highly selective colleges send scouts to these schools to recruit top talent. And perhaps most important, students in these schools are part of a peer group where many others are also headed to highly selective colleges.
Hoxby and Avery found that top students who do not live in these major metropolitan areas were significantly less likely to end up at a highly selective school. These students were far less likely to find themselves in a pipeline that ended at an Ivy League school.
"Imagine a student who is the only student who is a likely candidate for a place like Harvard or Stanford or University of Chicago — and he's not just the only student in his or her high school, but he's the only student that that high school has graduated like that in, say, three or four years," Hoxby says.
Without mentors and academically talented peers, Hoxby says, many of these students fail to apply to schools that can offer them a premium education free of charge. And because the students are widely dispersed across the 42,000 high schools in the country, college recruiters have a hard time finding them.
Hoxby is working on interventions to reach these students and to give them a clear picture of their choices. She doesn't believe all these students need to necessarily end up at a highly selective college, but she wants them to clearly understand that they have that choice.
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm Steve Inskeep.
We're getting into the time of year when colleges pick their next freshman class. Schools are always on the lookout for bright kids from poor families. They want to increase the diversity on campus.
That's not always so easy though. And NPR's science correspondent Shankar Vedantam has been looking at some research that tries to understand why.
Hi, Shankar.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: Hi, Steve.
INSKEEP: OK, students at top universities tend to come from wealthy families, upper income families; that's the trend. What makes it so hard to break that trend?
VEDANTAM: Well, colleges have been trying very, very hard over the years to try and change that trend. So colleges send out people to the top high schools and they try and recruit students and say please apply to our institution. Many are offering very generous incentive programs. So a couple of years ago, for example, Harvard said if your family income is under $40,000, you cannot only get free tuition at Harvard, you can get free room and board.
I spoke with Caroline Hoxby. She's an economist at Stanford University. And I asked her what effect this incentive had on the enrollment of high achieving poor students at Harvard. Here's what she told me.
CAROLINE HOXBY: Well, enrollment didn't change very much. The number of students whose families had income below that threshold changed by only about 15 students, and the class at Harvard is about 1,650 freshmen.
INSKEEP: Wow, that's less than a one percent change, and you've taken the economics totally out of this. It's basically free to go to Harvard and they still don't have high achieving students showing up in any numbers.
VEDANTAM: Yeah, it was incredibly frustrating. And some college administrators told Hoxby that they had reluctantly come to the conclusion that there were only so many high achieving low income students, that it was a fixed pool, which is why increasing the incentives didn't make a difference really in the enrollment rate.
Hoxby said she decided to conduct a study and she said she started by asking herself what are the constraints that might keep a school from learning about a highly qualified student from a poor family?
HOXBY: The students whom they see are the students who apply. And if a student does not apply to any selective college or university, it's impossible for admissions staff to see that they are out there.
VEDANTAM: So what Hoxby found in her study is that the vast majority, 70 percent of low income high achieving students who end up going to these top colleges, they come from 15 metropolitan areas. So if you're a student at Stuyvesant in New York or Thomas Jefferson in Northern Virginia, these are high schools where you have college counselors. You have, if you're a kid, you see lots of peers going off to top colleges. College staff come to visit.
There's a whole process that encourages you to apply to these top colleges. And Hoxby and her colleague, Christopher Avery, find that if you're a high achieving low income student at one of these high schools, your odds of going to a top college are close to 100 percent. But if you're a high achieving low income student outside one of these metropolitan areas, your odds of going to these top colleges really plummets.
HOXBY: Imagine a student who is the only student who is a likely candidate for a place like Harvard or Stanford or University of Chicago, and he's not just the only student in his or her high school, but he's the only student that that high school has graduated like that in, say, three or four years.
VEDANTAM: So the thing to remember, Steve, is that there are 42,000 high schools in the United States. And what Hoxby and her colleague are finding is that outside of these big metropolitan areas, there is actually a vast reservoir of high achieving low income students who would be very good fits for the top colleges but are simply not applying.
INSKEEP: But they're in Indiana. They're in Kansas, wherever, and they don't have the connections or the expectations, you're saying, to even apply in the first place.
VEDANTAM: That's exactly right, that there isn't a mechanism, there isn't a social mechanism, there isn't a peer group that basically says this is what you do when you have grades that are this good.
INSKEEP: So what are colleges going to do about that?
VEDANTAM: Well, Hoxby is trying to come up with a way to reach the students. And she's actually conducting a separate study where she basically says let me take results from the SAT or the other standardized tests, which can identify these highly qualified students; and let me try and find a way to reach out to them. And so she's conducting a study where she's reaching out to the students and explaining to them, you have options to go to these top colleges.
Just because the sticker price at Harvard says 40,000 or 50,000 dollars a year, that doesn't mean that's what you will have to pay. For you the price might actually be zero.
She's not saying, by the way, that every one of these students has to be applying to an Ivy League college. But what she is saying is these students need to understand what their options are.
INSKEEP: There needs to be some micro-targeting.
VEDANTAM: Exactly.
INSKEEP: Shankar, thanks very much.
VEDANTAM: Thank you, Steve.

Cruise Holidays of Lakeville
(888) 506-5060
Shore excursions are a wonderful part of any cruise: they provide the opportunity to learn about a different culture, try a new adventure or simply take in the sights of a port of call. When you and your loved one cruise as a couple, shore excursions offer a chance to explore a destination together.
Couples who appreciate history might enjoy excursions that focus on the fascinating remnants of ancient cultures, such as the former Greek port of Ephesus, just 20 miles from the cruise ship dock at Kusadasi, Turkey. You can view the remains of a massive outdoor theater; the Library of Celsus, which once held 12,000 scrolls; the Basilica of St. John; and the lone column that is all that remains of the Temple of Artemis. Only an estimated 15 percent of Ephesus has been excavated, and work on this vast outdoor museum continues daily.
It takes two to tango, and couples sailing to Buenos Aires, Argentina, have the opportunity to watch experts perform the romantic dance at a tango show. Better yet, your ship may offer shore excursions that include lessons in the seductive, passionate dance. If dance isn't for you, another option is a tour of the city's colorful "barrios," or neighborhoods.
Alaska's ports buzz with activity during the summer cruise season, so a couple might enjoy heading a short way out of town to enjoy the spectacular natural scenery. Opportunities to hike nature trails, skim over the water in a kayak or navigate forest paths on an all-terrain vehicle are never far away – your ship is sure to provide a choice of such excursions.
Couples who cruise to the Caribbean, Mexico or Australia have a terrific selection of beach-oriented shore excursions that offer sun, fun and a bit of romance. A quiet afternoon on a beach of soft, white sand; riding on horseback through the sparkling surf; parasailing high above the coastline; or diving down to visit a world of colorful sea life are just some of the possibilities.
Every cruise offers great shore excursion options for couples to enjoy together. For help in selecting yours, talk with a Cruise Holidays expert.

Cheerleaders get go-ahead through June 2013
Smiling brightly and excited about their win in Judge Steven Thomas' 356th District Court in Kountze, cheerleaders from Kountze High School exited the courtroom Thursday, Oct. 18, ready to display their run-through banners containing Bible verses at Friday football games.
After weeks of litigation, Judge Thomas ruled the cheerleaders would be allowed to display their banners at school games at least until a jury trial scheduled for June 24, 2013.
"Today is a good day," said cheerleader Kierra Moffett, who took the stand and gave emotional testimony at a previous hearing Oct. 4. "I'm very happy with the decision."
Moffett said the cheerleader's new run-through banner at this Friday's football game on Oct. 19 will read, "Things which are impossible with men, are possible with God" (Luke 18:27).
The cheerleaders set off a national debate and brought down media attention when they produced the banners containing Bible verses at school functions, leading the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a nonprofit based in Madison, Wis., to send a letter to Kountze Independent School District (KISD) threatening a lawsuit.
After seeking legal advice, KISD Superintendent Kevin Weldon, himself a Christian, banned the signs.
"I was in between a rock and a hard spot," he said.
Attorneys with the Liberty Institute rushed to the cheerleaders' aid, arguing the cheerleader's banners were protected by the first amendment and free speech.
"Students and teachers do not shed their constitutional rights to free speech when they walk through the school house gate," said Liberty Institute senior counsel Mike Johnson. "So if you're in the hallway between classes or you happen to be on a football field and you're a student, you're still an American citizen and you don't shed your rights to free speech."
Johnson and attorney David Starnes argued fervently in the Kountze hearings, reading Bible verses and saying the Supreme Court's ruling in the Santa Fe vs. Doe case did not apply to the Kountze cheerleaders.
In Santa Fe vs. Doe, the Supreme Court ruled that student-led or student-initiated prayer in school functions was unconstitutional according to the establishment clause in the First Amendment.
"I think there's a widespread misunderstanding of our constitutional rights," Johnson said just before the ruling. "I think the phrase "separation of church and state" has run amuck through the culture, and most Americans believe that it's somehow a provision of the constitution. It is not."
The case prompted Attorney General Greg Abbott and Texas Gov. Rick Perry to decry KISD's banning of the signs. Johnson said their support might have been a factor in Judge Thomas' decision.
"I think it does have some influence when the highest authority in the state says that this is in compliance with the law," Johnson said. "I think that has the desired effect here and it echoes the arguments we've been making from day one."
Attorney Tom Brandt, representing KISD Superintendent Weldon and his school district, said Abbott's opinion matters little in the Kountze case. He said the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Establishment Clause of the Constitution is undeniable.
"It's another lawyer's (Abbott's) opinion, basically," Brandt said. "There's only nine lawyers that we really need to be concerned about, and those are the nine sitting on the United States Supreme Court."
Brandt argued that such an open display of religion at a school function may have been an "innocent" expression of one's faith initiated by the cheerleaders, but that display is still government speech under the law as interpreted by the Supreme Court.
He said KISD was trying to obey the law by banning the signs, hinting the case may have just begun to make its way through Texas courts.
"If we're wrong, so be it," Brandt said. "The judge will tell us. Other judges might tell us as well, but we're trying to, in good faith, go forward and obey the law and try to get this controversy behind us to go back to educating kids."
Both Starnes and Brandt agreed that, after the June 2013 jury trial, the decision could be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, and may take years to finally resolve.

Robert H. Frank's Non‐argument for Higher Tax Rates
In The New York Times, Robert H. Frank of Cornell University repeated his perpetual argument that high tax rates on the rich do no harm to demand (not supply) because the rich can just draw down savings, year after year, to pay more taxes yet maintain a showy lifestyle. Then he resorts to the old trick of asserting there is no "credible" evidence that tax disincentives and distortions have any ill effects on the economy.
Frank asks, rhetorically, if an increase in top tax rates might reduce economic growth. And he replies, "There's no credible evidence that it would." This is a timeworn trick among people too intellectually lazy to look for a single academic study or statistical fact.
As I have shown before, Mr. Frank has a history of abusing bogus statistics culled from dubious sources.
To simply assert "there's no credible evidence," however, is much worse than distorting the facts.
It amounts to claiming that he has the ability and the right to suppress facts not to his liking.
Over the past year I have repeatedly cited several major studies showing that pushing the highest marginal tax rates even higher is extremely dangerous to economic growth; Stanford economist Michael Boskin lists half a dozen of them in his latest Wall Street Journal op-ed.
For Mr. Frank to assert that such studies are not "credible" simply reveals his own inability to find credible evidence to support his own untenable position.

The Pilot School, also known as the Flying School, is the most important of the vehicle schools in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, unlocked after "Verdant Meadows" with the purchase of Verdant Meadows. Unlike all the others, completion of all the lessons with at least Bronze medals is required to continue the storyline.
Pilot school consists of several lessons teaching the player how to fly planes, helicopters, and at the end - how to use a parachute. The work pays off later when the Rustler, Stunt Plane, and Hunter are unlocked respectively for achieving Bronze, Silver and Gold. By completing lessons, the player will earn/increase their Flying Skill.
The ten lessons to pass are:
You'll have to lift-off and pass to three coronas to complete the test. Finish in 30 seconds or below to get a Gold medal.
Fly through the corona and activate the landing gear and land in the designated place and avoid to let the nose of the Rustler touch the ground or it'll incur damage penalties. Finish in 30 seconds or below to get Gold medal.
Take off and climb to pass through the first corona. Then, fly a circular course through the field. Do this in a minute to get a Gold medal.
Do the same routine on the last test but land to the designated area. Finish this in 1 minute and 20 seconds to get a Gold Medal
Piloting a Hunter, press X to accelerate to climb upward. Release X to level off. After that, rotate the helicopter 180 degrees. Push the left analog stick forward to tilt the helicopter at a 45 degrees and press and hold X to go forward. Fly through the corona to pass the test.
Pass through the first corona by pushing the left analog stick foward and pressing and holding X. After that, land on the runway to pass the test.
Destroy three targets in the field and then two trucks running at the back of the Snake Farm. Then, destroy remaining vans in the field and land the helicopter at the designated area. Finish this in 1 minute and 30 seconds to get a Gold Medal.
To do a loop-to-loop is to press the analog stick down and pass through 2 coronas in 21 seconds to get a Gold Medal.
Fly through the first corona, then push the left analog stick directly left quickly to do the barrel roll. After that, fly through the last corona to finish the test. Finish the test in 18 seconds or less to get a Gold Medal.
Skydive down to the target and deploy the Parachute, glide to the target zone to get a medal. Landing at the center of the target zone will get you a Gold medal.
The reward for all Bronze is a Rustler, for all Silver a Stunt Plane and for all Gold a Hunter.
Access to the areas of airports which contain planes will be available.
Note: Restricted areas (restricted until after flight school) of airports can often be accesed by parking a car against the gate, while on top of the car you will be able to jump high enough to jump to the top of the gate and climb over.

The Cupertino City Council on Tuesday night unanimously approved the massive, 176-acre Apple Campus 2 project nicknamed the "Spaceship," a project expected to both make architectural history and increase traffic in the city south of San Francisco.
The nickname comes from a 2.8 million-square-foot, ring-shaped building of glass and steel as the project's centerpiece, which will be surrounded by 100 acres of green space and powered largely by solar and alternative energy. Apple hopes to finish the project by 2015 or 2016.
The council's vote for final approval is set for Nov. 15. And it's expected to pass easily, as city leaders and Apple executives say the future masterpiece is a nod to the legacy of Apple's late founder, Steve Jobs.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"We are humbled by the task of completing it," Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer said at a Wednesday news conference, without disclosing just how much money the company would spend on the project.
Apple CEO Tim Cook also tweeted out early in the morning that he was pleased with his company's new "home."

Our home for innovation and creativity for decades to come. Cupertino City Council Gives Unanimous Approval for Apple's New Campus — Tim Cook (@tim_cook) October 16, 2013
While the vote was unanimous and many had known the "writing was on the wall" for the project's approval in the works since 2011, there has been apprehension about the added traffic the project's 14,000 employees would bring.
"There are a lot of concerns about the project," Cupertino city spokesman Rick Kitson acknowledged. "There is also a lot of support for the project."
But at Tuesday night's council meeting, there were more in support for Apple Corp.'s project than against it, even if that support came with some concerns.
Ria Hutabarat Lo of Sunnyvale said the buildings will give the tiny city of Cupertino some panache.
"I was recently in Australia, and I met a teenager who said he'd like to visit California, and go to the tourist hot spots of San Francisco and Cupertino," she said as the crowd laughed. "And I think that Apple 2 campus can really provide a focus for employment and general interest and even tourism within Silicon Valley. ''
Still, Hutabarat Lo said she has some concerns with the plan, such as the streetscape design and surrounding transit network that "undermines local connectivity and that dramatically increases traffic congestion." She was also worried about widening roads that are already too oversized and too congested for her, or her children and elderly relatives to cross.
That's why she asked the council to remove minimum parking requirements for Apple and to require the company to implement a parking cash-out program which has been so successful at other companies such as Genentech.
For its part, Apple has already promised to underwrite a number of roadway improvements to alleviate the congestion throughout Cupertino - an affluent city of about 50,000, which is a 45-minute drive from San Francisco - and vowed to raise the percentage of its employees who will be using public transit or Apple's shuttle buses to commute to work.
Apple, under the project, will demolish the closed, 171-acre Hewlett-Packard campus that Apple acquired on property bounded by North Wolfe Road, Tantau Avenue, Calabazas Creek and Homestead Road.
Also, Apple may also be in talks with Caltrans about paying to widen I-280 to accommodate freeway commuters, Kitson said. Among the city's top concerns are three left-turn lanes that would run from the campus entrance onto southbound North Wolfe Road.
The planning commission has already suggested several options for addressing that issue, including fining Apple $500 each time an employee made an unsafe lane change at that spot.
The first phase of Apple Campus 2 project would include construction of the giant, 60-foot-high circular building, which would have a central garden courtyard featuring orchard trees and a 1,000-seat amphitheater. Also 10,980 parking spaces would be created, along with 2,000 bike parking spots, a 100,000-square-foot fitness center, jogging trails, an on-site bike-sharing program and solar panels.
The second phase would add 600,000 square feet of office space in buildings meant for research and development, with a 100,000-square-foot laboratory and testing area, a restaurant, parking and energy generation plants.
"I am just amazed at the amount of our residents coming out to support this campus," former mayor Sandra James said at Tuesday's city council meeting. " I don't think I've ever seen a development before Cupertino in our history where you had so many members of our community to come out to voice their support. And the cross-section of the community is amazing."

Ed Snell's '52 Willys Is Like A Chicken With Teeth
To hear Ed Snell tell it, he's always been a hot rod nut-when he was kid, he built his own race cars and drove them for a hobby. Then he took about 30 years off to make some bread and raise a family properly without any outside distractions. But the bug began to munch on him again, and he was "looking for a hot rod to play with." Now that he had means, the idea of specific fantasies built to order somehow equated to an iteration of the '32 Ford Coupe. So how come we're looking at a Willys? According to Ed, it "was everything I wanted."
Ed used to be a CPA. Do you think that had anything to do with his Mercury-to-Pluto decision? Or was it more like do we need another '55 Chevy, no matter how cool that notion is, when the sight of something as obscure and pristine as the Willys will stay on your mind forever? Right!
We appreciate Ed's unusual approach. The Willys feeds his pragmatism as well as his sense of aesthetics and the need for the occasional bloodletting. Arizona Street Rods built it for someone else, who sold it to a soul who actually drove it. Three years later, Ed made his marks on the Aero Ace, put it back in circulation, and drove the daylights out of it. The Ace has since logged more than 14,000 local miles behind that custom-built Banjo steering wheel.
We were taken with the Ace because the last time we saw one this clean was in 1955. It has all the social amenities: thoroughly modern and effective cooling and ventilation, a far-reaching sound system, power assists, suspension from a 280Z, and a fuel-injected engine. "There's room enough to carry six adults, it's fast, good-looking, reliable, and comfortable," says Ed. "That adds up to a lot of fun." Like it was in the old days, when you packed all the goodies inside the car, under the hood, and out of sight.
"I enjoy all the smiles and thumbs up, and I hear a lot of stories from people who had similar cars in their youth. Its uniqueness and the expert craftsmanship in the rebuild as a street rod are appealing. The old guys like it because it looks stock, and hot rodders like the running gear," Ed opined.
The unaltered sheetmetal and original badging foster that stock appearance, and it remains understated in the wake of the big 'n' little Budnik wheels, wet burgundy paint, and that smooth biscuit-colored interior. The whole thing works so well that you don't even mind that there's a '52 Willys underneath it all.
Driving his lightweight really gets Ed off. Its springy seats, wind wings, and the oversize steering wheel suck him right back into the '50s (Ed's 60), but the modern underpinnings give the ancient chassis a new and much livelier feel. As part of the last run of Willys cars built (1952-55), his Ace is basically a unibody construction that was augmented with front and rear subframes to support the 280Z suspension components. The front end is established by towers and MacPherson struts and the rear by a custom-built subframe. Though the narrowed 9-inch turns 4.11:1 gears, the overdrive automatic bites the hard edge off those cogs and makes cruising much more congenial.
Figuring that this little opus is a real featherweight (approximately 2,800 pounds) and that it's hauling 350 lb-ft at the rear wheels, the Ace jumps off the mark and hits the mainline like a '40s-vintage Willys Gasser, albeit a decade after the fact. Retiree Ed Snell has the stones to own and drive something much less predictable than a '32 Ford or a '67 Camaro, and look where it got him.

"Things were turned upside down. There were terrifying things in the air… they found their way into Black Angels." —George Crumb
George Crumb's Black Angels, inspired by the Vietnam War, draws from an arsenal of sounds including shouting, chanting, whistling, whispering, gongs, maracas, and crystal glasses. The score bears two inscriptions: "in tempore belli" (in time of war) and "Finished on Friday the Thirteenth, March, 1970."
Crumb was born in Charleston, West Virginia, in 1929. He studied at the Mason College of Music in Charleston and studied for the Master's degree at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. He continued his studies at the Hochschule für Musik, Berlin, and received a DMA from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Crumb's music often juxtaposes contrasting musical styles. The references range from music of the Western art-music tradition to hymns and folk music to non-Western musics. Many of Crumb's works include programmatic, symbolic, mystical and theatrical elements, which are often reflected in his beautiful and meticulously notated scores.
Crumb has been honored with festivals devoted to his music from Los Angeles to Moscow, and from Scandinavia to South America. He is the winner of a 2001 Grammy Award and the 1968 Pulitzer Prize in Music, and was named Musical America's Composer of the Year in 2004. He retired from his teaching position at the University of Pennsylvania after more than 30 years of service. Awarded honorary doctorates by numerous universities and the recipient of dozens of awards and prizes, he makes his home in Pennsylvania. Crumb's music is published by C.F. Peters and the ongoing series of "Complete Crumb" recordings, supervised by the composer, is being issued on Bridge Records.
About Black Angels, Crumb writes:
"Black Angels was conceived as a kind of parable on our troubled contemporary world. The work portrays a voyage of the soul. The three stages of this voyage are Departure (fall from grace), Absence (spiritual annihilation) and Return (redemption).
"The numerological symbolism of Black Angels, while perhaps not immediately perceptible to the ear, is nonetheless quite faithfully reflected in the musical structure. These 'magical' relationships are variously expressed: e.g., in terms of length, groupings of single tones, durations, patterns of repetition, etc. ... There are several allusions to tonal music: a quotation from Schubert's Death and the Maiden quartet; an original Sarabanda; the sustained B-major tonality of God-Music; and several references to the Latin sequence Dies Irae (Day of Wrath). The work abounds in conventional musical symbolisms such as the Diabolus in Musica (the interval of the tritone) and the Trillo Di Diavolo (the Devil's Trill, after Tartini)."
Kronos' recording of Black Angels is available on the Nonesuch recording of the same name.
" Kronos has built an international reputation taking on extreme musical challenges like this one, and it is hard to imagine any other ensemble topping this gripping, technically exacting and superbly choreographed performance. "
- Kyle MacMillan, Denver Post
" George Crumb's scorching, Vietnam War-haunted string quartet, "Black Angels," was violinist David Harrington's inspiration to form the Kronos Quartet in 1973...Crumb's score hasn't lost its power to jolt -- bowed gongs, tuned water glasses and shouted text alternate with shrieking and whispering string writing -- and the evocative lighting by Laurence Neff and creative sound engineering of the amplified strings by Brian Mohr set the quartet's riveting performance in even bolder relief. "
- Joe Banno, Washington Post
" A collective gasp was heard among audience members during "God-Music," when Mr. Harrington, John Sherba and Hank Dutt, on raised platforms, bowed crystal goblets lighted from beneath as Jeffrey Zeigler played a haunting cello soliloquy...a vivid, powerfully realized staging. "
- Steve Smith, The New York Times

Laurence Neff, lighting and stage designer
Brian Mohr, sound designer
Calvin Ll. Jones, technical director
Kronos' 2008 production of George Crumb's Black Angels was supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts as part of American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius, with additional support from the Williams Center for the Arts/Lafayette College. Kronos' original staged version was commissioned by Hancher Auditorium/University of Iowa in 1988.
