For Teens with Diabetes
Teenagers typically want to spend more time on their own and have to juggle school, extracurricular activities, and friends. Diabetes management may not be the number one priority and changing hormones can mean more problems with blood glucose control.
That is why it is so important to get as much support as possible with diabetes management.
Check It Out
One way our team provides additional support is through our discussion board for teens. Other teens with diabetes may be going through similar things and this is a safe place where teens can ask questions and find out how others are dealing with diabetes. Plus, as a teen with diabetes, you may have a suggestion for someone else's problem.
Parents of teens have challenges too. For them we have a discussion board for parents as well as a support group of Joslin teens.
Tours of Fenway Park
In the summer, we organize tours of Fenway Park for preteens, teens, and their parents. These tours offer the opportunity for families to meet others with diabetes, as well as have a chance to interact with Joslin Pediatric staff. Joslin's Fenway Park Tours are led by a family support specialist as well as pediatric diabetes medical specialists.

There exists a prestigious academy with a history going back hundreds of years. Graduates are highly skilled and very much sought after for employment. For purely traditional reasons, the academy requires its students to become proficient in a skill or area of knowledge that has no use in the modern world. This could be Ancient Egyptian, an antiquated form of writing such as shorthand, knowledge of building or repairing antique steam engines, programming COBOL, etc. PCs who graduated from this academy must be sure to have this skill in their repertoire.

DAMASCUS, Syria (CNN) -- Syria hopes a series of indirect talks with Israel will soon lead to direct negotiations, President Bashar al-Assad told CNN's Cal Perry Thursday in an exclusive interview.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy (right) and Syria's President Bashar al-Assad meet in Damascus.
Al-Assad said that possibility was discussed during a summit attended by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and the leaders of Turkey and Qatar.
Word of the Syrian proposal came during a landmark visit to Damascus by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. He and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad took part in a summit Thursday that also included the leaders of Turkey and Qatar.
"The dialogue today was about the peace," al-Assad told CNN's Cal Perry in an exclusive interview. "I could not say we achieved something but starting the dialogue is a positive issue."
Al-Assad told CNN: "We are talking about the future, the role of Europe and especially France in particular during the next phase which is the direct negotiations," he said.
Syria and Israel have been involved in indirect talks in Turkey for the past few months. There have been four rounds of talks so far, and Syria hopes to begin a fifth round early next week, according to a senior official close to the negotiations.
The Syrian government has put forward a six-point proposal outlining goals for furthering indirect talks with Israel, a senior Syrian government official. The Syrian government handed the proposal to Turkey to pass along to Israel, the senior official said.
Israeli officials did not immediately confirm whether they had received a copy of Syria's proposals, but they did say they were trying to set up another round of talks with Turkish mediation.
"We are still interested in the continuation of the talks with a genuine intention to reach an agreement," an Israeli official said.
U.S. State Department spokesman Robert Wood said the United States wants to see Syria "play a more productive role in the region."
"I think it remains to be seen just how serious Syria is about engaging in peace discussions with Israel," Wood said. "If Syria is serious about it, about making peace with Israel, I think what is important is to see actions not words."
Al-Assad has consistently said the United States must be involved in the process before any direct talks can begin. He has also said there is no point in involving the U.S. before the presidential election in November.
The Bush administration hasn't "done anything, to be honest," he said. "Now it's too late. We have to wait for the next administration, after the American election, to see what we can do."
Al-Assad added that he would be happy to host whichever presidential candidate won the election but would not say if he thought Republican John McCain or Democrat Barack Obama would be better for U.S.-Syrian relations.
Sarkozy is the highest-level French official to visit Syria since their good relations froze after the 2005 assassination of the former Lebanese prime minister, anti-Syrian Rafik Hariri.
A U.N.-appointed commission investigating Hariri's assassination has implicated top Syrian officials. Syria has denied any involvement in Hariri's murder. Watch more about Sarkozy's visit to Syria »
Sarkozy said Wednesday the two countries were about to open a new page in their friendship, the official Syrian news agency, SANA, reported.
The French president said indirect talks between Syria and Israel were "excellent" for the two countries and for the region, and he expressed hope that they would lead to direct talks as soon as possible, SANA said.
The main issue in the Syria-Israel negotiations is the Golan Heights, which Israel seized from Syria in the 1967 war.
The senior official close to the negotiations said one prospect being discussed is a land-buyback plan to allow Syria to purchase the Golan Heights over a period of 99 years.
CNN's Cal Perry and Jordana Miller contributed to this report.

P90 Points scored per 90 minutes at home/away based on this week's opponents QG% Percentage of games played where the player scored 6 or more points xPct The percentage of his team's goals a player has accounted for, multiplied by the expected goals for this week Rating Based on the player's rankings in the other three categories.
I've finally taken the plunge and tried to provide some hard rankings rather than just objective data. The rating column is based on a player's performance in the other three categories, currently weighted towards the xPct ranking, which I believe to be the best indicator of future success. Over the next few weeks I am going to be posting a few reviews to try and determine the best weighting for each of these factors but until then I simply going with 50% xPct, 25% P90 and 25% QG%. I feel this gives the best chance to recognise underrated players, without giving too much attention to players who have played sporadically (Drenthe kept popping up in the old rankings) and also avoiding overvaluing players who assist too many goals (who obviously pickup less points than their goalscoring colleagues).
I must say, I am surprised to see Ba come in second as he has a much harder fixture than Bale, Dempsey and even Rooney on paper, but when you're accounting for 59% of your team's goals (second only to Van Persie's 65%) you're always going to be riding high.
After last week's captain-gate I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention that Van Persie is still due for a rest at some point and Arsenal have to travel to Milan in midweek. You wonder though if he will try and power through until Gervinho returns from the ACN, although Chamakh is said to be fit again. I guess the lesson last week, if there was one, is probably to not be overly concerned with downside in the face of such extreme upside. Blackburn at home is about as good as it gets on paper and the risk of a 1 point effort was probably eclipsed by the potential spoils Van Persie could (and did) bring to your team. This week is less clear cut and the decision to opt for a Rooney or Bale is probably more logical. At the moment though, I am sticking with Van Persie (caveat emptor for all).
I will try and add to this tomorrow night with any late fitness or team news, but if nothing emerges, the rankings for the week will stay as they are above.

The federal government finally spoke up Monday in the San Diego Hospice bankruptcy case, saying it is owed $112 million for "false claims for payment" in 2009 and 2010.
The claim, which dwarfs all the others in the bankruptcy case, had been anticipated since late 2012, when the hospice's chief executive officer, Kathleen Pacurar, publicly acknowledged problems with Medicare billings that led to the hospice's liquidation.
Pacurar said that internal audits had found that the organization sometimes requested, and received, Medicare's $172-per-day hospice reimbursement for patients who did not meet the government's technical requirement that hospice patients have six months or less to live.
A whistle-blower lawsuit, filed by former hospice nurse Lori Rachac in December of 2012, further claimed that hospice officials sometimes falsified patient records to make it appear they were dying even if they were improving.
The four-page document filed Monday asks for a precise figure of $112 million, but does not explain exactly how it arrived at that amount. Though the government has been auditing the hospice since February 2011, the claim does not say what the investigation found, instead simply citing Rachac's lawsuit.
Sam Maizel, the attorney who represents the hospice's creditors in the bankruptcy case, said Tuesday that he would like to know more about how the government arrived at $112 million.
"We're certainly going to investigate the basis for the (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid) claim. It provides no evidence of how they've calculated the amount they've asserted," Maizel said.
San Diego Hospice filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Feb. 4 and transferred all of its remaining patients, and many of its employees, to Scripps Health and other local hospice operators in the spring. Its blufftop hospital and headquarters building in Hillcrest sold at auction to Scripps on April 30 for $16.55 million.
With no property or patients left at the hospice, all that remains in the bankruptcy case is to pay creditors.
A liquidation plan filed on May 17 lists between $18.7 million and $23.3 million in claims. Add in the government's $112 million request, and the total jumps to between $150 million and $159 million.
The liquidation plan states that the bankruptcy trust expects to have about $13.5 million to disburse once all sales are final and all commissions are paid.
If creditors approve the plan, an estimated $5.5 million to $6.1 million would be used to pay 100 percent of administrative and priority claims including about $1.7 million in lawyers' fees and $1.2 million in unpaid employee leave and other reimbursements.
That would leave between $7.3 million and $7.9 million to pay the estimated $124 million to $128 million in unsecured requests.
This amount, Maizel said, will be paid on a pro-rata basis. Given that the CMS claim represents 90 percent of the unsecured claims, that would mean the federal government is entitled to 90 percent of the remaining money.
However, the liquidation plan states that creditors have asked CMS to split its claim into two parts. The government, under the proposal, would receive an unsecured claim equal to the total amount of all other unsecured claims.
For example, if the creditors approve a total of $12 million in unsecured claims, then the government would also get $12 million, creating a total pool of $24 million. This arrangement would give the government a 50-50, rather than a 90-10 split of the remaining cash.
Maizel said he did not take the government's claim Monday as a rejection of the 50-50 proposal.
"I believe we are still negotiating," Maizel said.

Have a listen to the radio spot up above, which was brought to our attention by a thread over on SportsJournalists.com. In it, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter shills for 5-Hour Energy, an energy drink marketed as a supplement that is more or less liquid crack for the bro set (and which is not without some baggage, having been cited in 13 deaths from 2009-2012).
Schefter is far from the only on-air ESPN talent hawking a product; we highlighted dozens of ESPN endorsements a few years ago, and we've also noted some other ESPN personalities shilling for a questionable sponsor. To ESPN's credit, they did finally update their endorsements list, though Schefter doesn't appear on it.
What's a little strange about this one is that Schefter is an actual reporter. He's not an ex-jock or ex-coach, like Keyshawn Johnson (Under Armor) or Bob Knight (Baden basketballs), nor is he a TV personality, like Chris Berman (Nutrisystem) or Dick Vitale (everything). He's a famously hard-working reporter, the sort of guy you'd stick on the most important stories on the beat—like, say, an NFL player dropping dead because he was popping energy supplements.
Update (5:05 p.m.): An ESPN spokesperson says Schefter's endorsement was approved through "the normal process."

Jessica Alba's New Year's body
Jessica Alba is spending New Year's in Mexico with her family. It's been just over 4 months since she and her husband Cash Warren had baby girl Haven; she looks great in a bikini already. Alba currently has no projects lined up for 2012. But first daughter Honor's photos were sold in 2008 to OK! Magazine for a reported $1.5 million. Does Haven get more or less? This is what you do when the acting jobs dry up.
Many of you have emailed me for comment on Haven since she was born in August. I generally try to stay away from the baby name discussion because, frankly, I don't like a lot of names that are actually quite common. It would offend many of you, I promise.
It is considered bad form to tell people what to name or what not to name their children. I know I should observe this rule. But when it comes to Haven, because I know the mommy groups pay attention to these things, please...reconsider.
Haven to me is like Destiny or Ethereal or Luminescent. So, like, future participants on that horrible show Tiaras & Toddlers. Per Duana, Haven won't be a Supreme Court Justice is what I'm saying. And I really, really want your daughter to become a Supreme Court Justice.

The following press release is from Find My Past.
* Records for Wales, Channel Islands and Isle of Man and military
serving overseas now online
Following the initial release of the Southern English records in January
2009, 1911census.co.uk now hosts the complete 1911 census records for
people living in England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of
Man. What's more, for the first time in a British census, full details
are available of British Army personnel and their families stationed
overseas. There were 135,866 people serving in the British Army and
36,804 people serving in the Royal Navy across the British Empire in
1911, including 69,785 serving in India.
The 1911census.co.uk website service has been developed by UK-based
family history website findmypast.com, owned by brightsolid, in
association with The National Archives. Completed by 36 million
householders on Sunday, 2 April 1911, the census records show the name,
age, place of birth, marital status and occupation of every resident in
every home as well as their relationship to the head of the household
and the online records include images of our ancestors' own handwriting.
For the first time the enumerators' summary books for the whole of
England and Wales have also gone online today, recording details of all
properties in the country in 1911 - a great resource for anyone
interested in local history or house histories. The 1911 census records
have been released three years earlier than the scheduled 2012 date as a
result of public demand for the 1911 census, which will be a key
resource for family historians.*
Debra Chatfield, Marketing Manager at findmypast.com, says: '"We're
delighted that the final records from the 1911 census have been
published online including the military records and the records for
Wales, the Isle of Man and Channel Islands. We hope people of all ages
will gain a huge amount of valuable information about their ancestors by
consulting the records and that they'll discover new chapters of their
family history that they previously knew very little or nothing about."
Oliver Morley, Director of Customer and Business Development at The
National Archives, commented: "It's wonderful to see that so many people
are discovering a new passion for family history through the 1911
census. Bringing this project to completion has been one of the most
exciting events for us this year, and to know that so many people have
been able to access part of their personal history online shows how
valuable it can be to make these records available via the web."

In this case, the bad guy really did wear a black hat.
In this case, the bad guy really did wear a black hat.
A bank robber sporting a black baseball cap with a skull insignia unsuccessfully struck a North Beverly bank on Monday afternoon, 20 minutes before police said he successfully robbed a bank in Ipswich.The suspect remains at large.
Police released two images of the robber captured from surveillance cameras at the Bank of America branch at 15 Enon St.
The man, who was alone, went into the bank at 1:17 p.m. on April 28 and handed the teller a note but left the bank without any money.
Police described the suspect as a white man in his 20s, about 5-feet, 6 inches tall with a thin build, shaved or closely cropped hair, a light complexion, and clean-shaven face. He may also be bowed-legged.
He was wearing a dark colored long sleeve shirt over a white crew neck shirt, dark jeans, white sneakers, a dark jacket and a baseball hat with a logo of "Ed Hardy" — a tattoo artist with a clothing line. On the right side of the hat was a skull with wings.
Ipswich Police, who also captured a surveillance camera image of the robber wearing the same hat, said the Sovereign Bank at 116 Central St. was robbed 20 minutes later. After handing over a note and telling the clerk "hurry up, hundreds and fifties" and "hurry up, hurry up" he fled on foot with an undetermined amount of cash.
Anyone with information about the Beverly incident should call Beverly police at 978- 922-1212.

Coaxial Cable Basics- Construction and Operation
Coaxial is a term derived from the construction of the cable, as illustrated here. In a coaxial cable an electrical impulse signal is transmitted along the cable length between the center conductor and the outer conductor. The center conductor and the outer conductor share the same center line or axis hence the term coaxial.
Shielding Effectiveness is the relative ability of a shield to screen out undesirable interference. In coaxial cable, the outer conductor provides a shield to keep interfering signals from getting in and to keep signals from leaking out to become undesirable interference for nearby devices. Shielding Effectiveness is measured in dB with higher values indicating better shielding properties. The table below illustrates the relative shielding properties of various shielding types.
Notice as the shielding density increases there is a correlated increase in the shielding effectiveness value. The best shielding effectiveness value can be found in a rigid coaxial cable due to the solid tube construction of the outer jacket. In this type of cable the limiting factor for shielding effectiveness is the quality of the connector attachment.

Colorado's Bakhtiari becomes first "local" off the board
Former Colorado Buffaloes left tackle David Bakhtiari became the first player with ties to the state of Colorado to be drafted when Green Bay made Bakhtiari the 12th pick of the fourth round Saturday.
Bakhtiari, 6-foot-4 and 299 pounds, was a three-year starter for the Buffs and gave up his final year of college eligibility to declare for the 2013 NFL Draft.
The native Californian started at right tackle as a freshman and then, as a sophomore and junior, he replaced current NFL starter Nate Solder of the Patriots at left tackle. Lacking the preferable size for a tackle, Bakhtiari may be projected as a NFL guard.
"I feel like I can play tackle (at the NFL level)," Bakhtiari said. "But it's whatever the organization wants. I'm all about the team."

Facebook Friendships and the Good Life
Filed under: Popular culture | Tags: Aristotle, Facebook, friendships, Mark Zuckerberg, The Social Network
Comments (4)
For Lent this year, I gave up Facebook. My reasoning was multifold. In part, I was starting to worry how much time I was spending "piddling" on the computer during the long Boston winter. I wanted to spend more meaningful time on the computer, and replace the time I was wasting on Facebook with reading books (which has been largely successful until I started reading War and Peace; now I am craving FB again). But I also watched "The Social Network" right before Lent started and found Mark Zuckerberg's character pretty reprehensible. It was the final scene that struck me most, where Zuckerberg is in the lawyer's office, and the pretty young lawyer has just left, and he sends a friend request to Erica, his ex-girlfriend, and keeps refreshing the page, waiting for a response.
Zuckerberg's character went from reprehensible to sympathetic. I could not but help feel pity for a guy whose only possibility for "friendship" was through Facebook. A couple of years ago, the New York Observer interviewed some Facebook holdouts who were critical of such alleged "friendships" that Facebook offered:
Cary Goldstein, 33, the director of publicity at Twelve books, is another proud Facebook holdout. "I don't see how having hundreds or thousands of 'friends' is leading to any kind of substantive friendships," he said. "The whole thing seems so weird to me. Now you really have to turn off your computer and just go out to live real life and make real connections with people that way. I don't think it's healthy."
Yet the number of people not on Facebook is steadily declining. So as Lent comes to an end and I prepare to reenter Facebook, I've started thinking more about the nature of Facebook friendships from an EverydayThomist perspective. I've addressed this question before using Cicero, but I think the question demands further examination in light of the rising importance of Facebook in people's lives.
It is not too much of a stretch to say that friendship is at the heart of Aristotle's ethics: "For without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods," he writes at the beginning of Book VIII of the Nichomachean Ethics. Following Aristotle, Aquinas also places friendship at a central place in the moral life by identifying charity, the mother of the virtues, as friendship with God.
What is friendship? For Aquinas, it is a particular type of love. Following Aristotle (Rhetoric ii, 4), Aquinas writes,
To love is to wish good to someone.' Hence the movement of love has a twofold tendency: towards the good which a man wishes to someone (to himself or to another) and towards that to which he wishes some good. Accordingly, man has love of concupiscence towards the good that he wishes to another, and love of friendship towards him to whom he wishes good (I-II, Q. 26, art. 4).
Most generally, a relationship of friendship is one characterized by mutual well-wishing and benevolence. Friends are those who wish good for one another. But friendship goes beyond benevolence. For both Aristotle and Aquinas, friendship demands that one see the friend as another self, and demands a certain "affective union" between oneself and the friend (II-II, Q. 27, art. 2).
Because of the intimacy that is prerequisite to friendship, friendship demands contact with the person who is our friend. It seems that for Aristotle, one needs actual physical contact to sustain the friendship: "Those, however, who approve of each other but do not live together seem to be well-disposed rather than actual friends. For there is nothing so characteristic of friends as living together." In Book XI, Aristotle provides further support for the idea that friendship demands a certain physical society:
Surely it is strange, too, to make the supremely happy man a solitary; for no one would choose the whole world on condition of being alone, since man is a political creature and one whose nature is to live with others. Therefore even the happy man lives with others; for he has the things that are by nature good. And plainly it is better to spend his days with friends and good men than with strangers or any chance persons. Therefore the happy man needs friends.
Friends, for Aristotle, must share a life together. Friendship, he says at the end of Book IX, delights in the sight of the beloved. Friendship is an intimate partnership.
"And as a man is to himself, so is he to his friend; now in his own case the consciousness of his being is desirable, and so therefore is the consciousness of his friend's being, and the activity of this consciousness is produced when they live together, so that it is natural that they aim at this. And whatever existence means for each class of men, whatever it is for whose sake they value life, in that they wish to occupy themselves with their friends; and so some drink together, others dice together, others join in athletic exercises and hunting, or in the study of philosophy, each class spending their days together in whatever they love most in life; for since they wish to live with their friends, they do and share in those things which give them the sense of living together."
As Paul Wadell writes, "The test of any friendship is our willingness to let our life be shaped by it, not only to spend time with our friend and be present to her, but also to succumb to the friendship, to make ourself vulnerable to it because in some way our life is created from it" (Friends of God, 34).
The question, it seems, is whether Facebook satisfies the demands for a "shared life together." For Aristotle, the society of friendship is clearly physical, but he, of course, did not know the possibility of a virtual society. Can we agree with Aristotle that friendship demands contact, but also conclude that the virtual "contact" provided by Facebook satisfies this demand? After all, it may be true that we do not stay friends with people that we lose contact with, but Facebook makes it possible to never lose contact and hence, to never lose the friendship.
It is hard to see, however, how the intimacy that friendship demands is satisfied by Facebook. One possible reason is that we are corporeal creatures, and hence, our friendships demand a great degree of corporeality. To be a human self is to be embodied. It is impossible to see the friend as another self without somehow sharing in bodily life together: eating together, touching each other, hearing each other's voices, looking into each other's eyes. Facebook friendships can only palely imitate this corporeal intimacy with pictures, wall conversations, and likes and dislikes, but at the end of the day, the Facebook friend can never be "another self" because the friend is always disembodied.
We are social creatures, and the intimacy that we human creatures demand is a very physical intimacy. And this is what makes the end of "The Social Network" so tragic: Zuckerberg's isolation is a physical one, one which he tries to fill virtually but can never find satisfaction. You get the sense that what he wants at the end of the movie is not money, nor power, nor fame, but somebody to eat dinner with, to converse with, to touch his arm consolingly, to bear with him. The man with thousands of friends is actually friendless.
From an Aristotelian perspective, friendship is clearly the basis of a good life. Maybe the end of "The Social Network," however, reveals more about the corporeal nature of the good life than it does about the friendship made possible by Facebook. If Facebook keeps us from a shared life with our friends, it can be antithetical to the good life, as we see with Zuckerberg. But Facebook need not replace true friendship. Like so many things in life, Facebook may only become bad when used excessively.
So, as Lent comes to a close, I am looking forward to getting back on Facebook. I think I'll probably use it less, but I bet I'll always use it some. I have, however, enjoyed this time of abstinence and the opportunity it provided to reflect more thoroughly on the nature of friendship and the good life.

Area of Special Focus: Transition Age Foster Youth
The Children's Advocacy Institute
is working to improve outcomes for youth aging out of foster care by increasing the quality and quantity of programs and services available to that vulnerable population. Each year, 30,000 of the nation's foster children "age out" of the foster care system and are expected to become independent, self-sufficient and contributing members of society with little or no assistance from others. These are young adults who experienced significant psychological trauma during their formative years — including being neglected and/or abused; being separated from their homes, friends, families and most things familiar to them; and enduring multiple placement in homes and institutions, interrupting (among other things) their educational progress. Particularly those foster youth who live their teen years in group homes do not benefit from normal growing-up experiences that most of us took for granted, but which prepared us for adult life, such as seeing an adult pay bills each month, do the laundry, buy groceries, pay taxes, arrange for car insurance, or undertake the dozens of other mundane tasks required to be a responsible, self-sufficient adult.
The foster care system itself creates huge barriers to the normalcy of a child's growing-up experience, causing foster youth to miss out on many rites of passage experienced by their peers. Many foster youth lack control over even minor aspects of their lives, giving them little opportunity to make decisions about their lives. Unlike their peers who were not raised by the foster care system, most foster youth alumni do not have a strong familial support system to offer guidance and to which they can go for help if they experience the difficulties that typically face young adults. We essentially abandon our foster youth in the wilderness when they age out, with no resources, no map or compass, and no one to serve as guide.
The consequences of our failure to adequately prepare foster youth for life on their own are woven throughout every aspect of their lives after foster care. They are evident in the bleak outcomes and challenges these youth face in the areas of educational attainment, employment, housing, homelessness, physical and mental health issues, credit issues, and identity theft.
Major law and policy changes are needed at the federal and state levels in order to give these youth -- our youth -- a meaningful opportunity to become financially independent and self-sufficient after leaving foster care. CAI's efforts in this area include impact litigation, legislative and regulatory advocacy, research and publication of special reports, and more.

List View in Mac OS X Mountain Lion
List view in Mac OS X Mountain Lion has little triangles to the left of each folder, known as disclosure triangles, which let you see the contents of a folder without actually opening it. This view also allows you to select items from multiple folders at once and move or copy items between folders in a single window. Finally, it's the view used to present Spotlight search results.
To display a window in List view, click the List view button on the toolbar, choose View→As List from the Finder's menu bar, or press cmd+2.
When you're in List view, the following tips can help you breeze through your folders to find what you're looking for:
To disclose a folder's contents, click the triangle to its left or, if it's selected, press the right-arrow key. The figure shows the result of either clicking the triangle to the left of the iTunes folder or selecting (highlighting) the iTunes folder and pressing the right-arrow key.
If you press Option+right arrow, all the folder's subfolders also expand. The Option key was pressed before the right-arrow key in the figure, so the Album Artwork and iTunes Media folders are expanded. Had any of the sub-folders (Cache, Download, and Automatically Add to iTunes) contained files or folders (they didn't when the screen shot was captured), they would have been expanded as well.
Click the column header to sort items in List view. Notice the little triangle at the right edge of the selected column (the Name column in the figure). That's the column's sorting indicator.
If the triangle points upward, the items in the corresponding column sort in descending order; if you click the header (Name) once, the triangle points downward and the items are listed in the opposite (ascending) order. This behavior is true for all columns in List view windows.
You can change the order in which columns appear in a window. To do so, press and hold a column's name, and then drag it to the left or right until it's where you want it. Release the mouse button, and the column moves.
The exception (isn't there always an exception?) is that the Name column always appears first in List view windows; you can move all other columns about at will. In fact, you can even hide and show columns other than Name if you like using the View Options window.

Although former Hollywood It Girl and notorious trouble maker Lindsey Lohan was released from formal probation last month, the 25-year-old remains in the legal limelight.
On Monday Today Entertainment reported that Lohan's camp strongly denied that she shoved a woman in a West Hollywood nightclub in the Standard Hotel last Thursday.
"Lindsay was never at the club and the whole thing is one big lie. Whomever started this will be held accountable for their malicious and unfounded accusations," Lohan's spokesman Steve Honig told Today Entertainment.
West Hollywood police said they were investigating the battery report by a woman who claimed Lohan shoved her in an argument over a man at the nightclub.
Sgt. Chris Bowman said a detective has the report and will check the story's validity, according to CNN.com.
"It's just an allegation," Bowman said.
In March, Judge Stephanie Sautner ended Lohan's formal probation for a 2007 cocaine possession and drunk driving charge.
Though Lohan remains on informal probation for a 2011 jewelry theft case, she may be on the comeback trail. She recently hosted a highly-rated episode of "Saturday Night Live" and will appear on the TV musical show "Glee." She's also slated to portray legend Elizabeth Taylor in a Lifetime TV movie.

The continual updating and completion of the BGEM Web site will be crucial to scientists. More than half of the approximately 25,000 genes in the mouse are thought to be involved in the development and function of the nervous system, but scientists have determined the function of only 30 percent of them. Many brain disorders, such as tumors and some psychiatric diseases, are also believed to be caused by gene mutations that arise during development of this complex organ.
A report on the development and availability of the BGEM appears in the March 28 issue of PLoS Biology. The Web site is http://www.
The similarity of the mouse and human brain make this map useful to researchers who study the development of the human brain and the origin of brain tumors from gene mutations, according to Tom Curran, Ph.D., co-chair of Developmental Neurobiology at St. Jude. "The BGEM represents a new strategy for exchanging information among researchers that will accelerate our understanding of the human nervous system," he said. "I foresee a time when researchers will be able to do certain studies to confirm hypotheses using a computer interface that links our data to many other kinds of gene information, without the need to go into a regular laboratory."
The BGEM is a growing, encyclopedic collection of tens of thousands of images as seen through a microscope. The images are obtained at distinct time points and show where and when specific genes are expressed at each of four developmental stages. Gene expression is visible because special tags called probes bind to messenger RNA (mRNA)--the decoded form of the gene--and release a signal that can be seen using a special microscope. Gene expression refers to the production of mRNA, which becomes the blueprint the cell uses to make the protein coded for by that gene.
The BGEM links these images with the most up-to-date information on those genes, such as their function, location on chromosomes and exact DNA sequence. The BGEM gathers this information through direct links to the scientific databases PubMed, LocusLink, Unigene and the Gene Ontology Consortium, which is housed at the National Center for Biotechnology Information in the National Library of Medicine. In turn, the BGEM images are used by the Gene Expression Nervous System Atlas (GENSAT), which seeks to document the expression of all genes in the nervous system. GENSAT is supported by the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke (NINDS), and a partnership of 14 institutes and centers of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which have formed a consortium to accelerate breakthroughs in understanding the nervous system. St. Jude undertook the BGEM project under subcontract from Rockefeller University (New York) on behalf of NINDS.
"A researcher who discovers a previously unrecognized gene that is expressed during brain development can rapidly determine how it fits into the overall scheme of brain development," said Craig Brumwell, PhD, the GENSAT manager in St. Jude Developmental Neurobiology. "The BGEM helps researchers skip over much of the drudgery of digging up information from the literature or from other databases."
The BGEM already contains detailed information and images of the expression of hundreds of genes that play key roles directing brain development, controlling the expression of other genes, guiding protein production and transporting molecules within the cell.
A key part of the BGEM's success was the development at St. Jude of bioinformatics software that routinely searches scientific databases for new information on genes linked to brain development, said Perdeep Mehta, Ph.D., the group leader in bioinformatics at St. Jude's Hartwell Center for Bioinformatics and Biotechnology. Bioinformatics is the use of computers, software and other technologies to gather, organize, format and use large amounts of biological information. "Our ability to link images of gene expression patterns to information on those genes in other databases increases the value of each new gene discovery," Mehta said.
This integration of multiple research approaches and information provided by the BGEM was key to the success of a St. Jude study of the origin of human brain tumors in children. The team used a technique called microarray analysis to study gene expression patterns in samples of human brain tumors called ependymomas. By comparing the gene expression patterns in human ependymomas with those in the normal developing mouse nervous system provided by the BGEM, the St. Jude investigators demonstrated that specific brain cells, called radial glial cells, likely gave rise to ependymomas.
"Our demonstration that identical-looking ependymomas that arise in different regions of the central nervous system are distinct diseases because they arise from different stem cells is an important insight," said Richard Gilbertson, M.D., Ph.D., the senior author of a report on this work that appeared in the October 2005 issue of Cancer Cell. "This suggests that treatments should be designed to kill the underlying cancer stem cell population. If you kill only the cells making up the bulk of the tumor, the disease will likely return, because you haven't eliminated the source of the tumor.
Further, our comparative analysis of malignant and normal developing tissues provides a new method of mapping stem cells of solid tumors. The contribution of the BGEM was invaluable to our work and likely will lead to important discoveries that will improve the treatment of brain cancer."

Rich, poor spar at Qatar climate talks
DOHA, Qatar (AP) — The first signs of tensions emerged at the U.N. climate talks on Tuesday as delegates from island and African nations chided rich countries for refusing to offer up new emissions cuts over the next eight years which could help stem global warming
The debate mostly swirled around the Kyoto Protocol — a legally-binding emissions cap that expires this year and remains the most significant international achievement in the fight against global warming. Countries are hoping to negotiate an extension to the pact that runs until at least 2020 but several nations like Japan and Canada have said they won't be party to a new one.
Marlene Moses, chairwoman of a coalition of island countries, said she was "gravely disappointed" with rich nations, saying they have failed to act or offer up any new emissions cuts for the near term. The United States, for example, which is not a signatory of Kyoto, has said it would not increase earlier commitments to cut emissions by 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020.
"In our view, these actions are an abdication of responsibility to the most vulnerable among us," Moses said.
In its current form, a pact that once incorporated all industrialized countries except the United States would now only include the European Union, Australia and several smaller countries which together account for less than 15 percent of global emissions he Japanese delegation defended its decision not to sign onto a Kyoto extension, insisting it would be better to focus on coming to an agreement by 2015 that would require all countries to do their part to keep global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F), compared to preindustrial times.
"As we have been explaining, only developed countries are legally bound by the Kyoto Protocol and their emissions are only 26 percent," said Masahiko Horie, speaking for the Japanese delegation.
"If we continue the same, only one quarter of the world is legally bound and three quarters of countries are not bound at all," he said. "Japan will not be participating in a second commitment period because, what is important, is for the world is to formulate a new framework which is fair and effective and which all parties will join."
The position of Japan and other developed countries has the potential to reignite the battles between rich and poor nations that have doomed past efforts to reach a deal. So far that hasn't happened, but countries like Brazil are warning that it will be difficult for poor nations to do their part if they continue watching industrialized nations shy away from legally-binding pacts like Kyoto.
"This is a very serious thing," said Andre Correa do Lago, who heads the Brazil delegation and is the director general for Environment and Special Affairs in the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
"If rich countries which have the financial means, have technology, have a stable population, already have a large middle class, if these countries think they cannot reduce and work to fight climate change, how can they ever think that developing countries can do it," do Lago said. "That is why the Kyoto Protocol has to be kept alive. It's the bar. If we take it out, we have what people call the Wild West. Everybody will do what they want to do. With everyone doing what they want to do, you are not going get the reductions necessary."
Many scientists say extreme weather events, such as Hurricane Sandy's onslaught on the U.S. east coast, will become more frequent as the Earth warms, although it is impossible to attribute any individual event to climate change. The rash of violent weather in the U.S., including widespread droughts and a record number of wildfires last summer, has again put climate change on the radar.
"It's probably not a coincidence," Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, vice chairman of the U.N. climate panel, told The Associated Press. "Climate is defined by trends and not by single events so it's never possible to attribute a single event to a changing climate. But what is clear over time is that the climate context is evolving and in that climate context many extreme events become either more intense or more frequent. And the kind of things that we have seen in the U.S. are likely to happen more in the future, together with heat waves and that kind of thing."
Meanwhile, a United Nations report warned that thawing permafrost covering almost a quarter of the northern hemisphere could "significantly amplify global warming" at a time when the world is already struggling to reign in rising greenhouse gases, a U.N. report said on Tuesday.
The U.N. said the potential hazards of carbon dioxide and methane emissions from warming permafrost has until now not been factored into climate models. It is calling for a special U.N. climate panel to assess the warming and for the creation of "national monitoring networks and adaptation plans" to help better understand the threat.
In the past, land with permafrost experienced thawing on the surface during summertime, but now scientists are witnessing thaws that reach up to 10 feet deep due to warmer temperatures. The softened earth releases gases from decaying plants that have been stuck below frozen ground for millennia.
"Permafrost is one of the keys to the planet's future because it contains large stores of frozen organic matter that, if thawed and released into the atmosphere, would amplify current global warming and propel us to a warmer world," said UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner in a statement.
Kevin Schaefer, of the University of Colorado National Snow and Ice Data Center, said 1,700 gigatons of permafrost exist. The lead author on the U.N. report, he warns that that melting could permanently amplify what is already a worrisome threat.
"The release of carbon dioxide and methane from warming permafrost is irreversible: once the organic matter thaws and decays away, there is no way to put it back into the permafrost," Schaefer said.

STANWOOD — The victim was 73 years old, an Army veteran living near Stanwood.
On June 7, he was folding clothes at a laundromat in the Viking Village shopping center.
Unbeknownst to him, a man in his 20s was watching, with ill intentions.
The suspect "came up behind him in the laundromat, hit him in the back and demanded his keys and wallet and everything he had," Stanwood Police Chief Rick Hawkins said.
A struggle ensued.
The older man was tumbled over a laundry cart. He suffered five broken ribs.
The suspect took off with the victim's pickup truck.
The robbery was reported about 4:45 p.m.
Stanwood deputy Tracy Peckham was almost off her shift, Hawkins said.
She had to act quickly, to gather enough information to give the night shift something to go on.
"We didn't have a lot," Hawkins said. "We didn't have a license plate to start with."
The victim could provide some details, but he was pretty shook up, Stanwood Sgt. Ryan Gausman said.
Deputy Adam Malaby had the graveyard shift that night. He had a description of the stolen truck and the suspect.
The robber had last been seen in the truck, southbound on 88th Avenue NW, running a red light to cross Highway 532, Hawkins said.
Malaby has been a police officer for 16 years. He previously worked in directed patrol for the sheriff's office, a unit that targets criminals deemed most likely to cause harm.
Malaby also served in the U.S. Marine Corps.
He called Gausman, his boss, on the sergeant's day off.
Malaby told Gausman: "I decided I'm going to find that guy."
"We get incidents all the time where we're looking for suspects, but what happened, that struck a chord with him," Gausman said.
Malaby knew that Island Crossing was a place where stolen cars show up, so he headed south. There was the truck, ditched outside a gas station.
"He knew it was a good place to look," Gausman said.
"And it worked," Hawkins said.
Malaby started talking to folks in the area. He told them about who he was looking for.
A man matching that description happened to be in the gas station.
Malaby called for backup. The man was interviewed, along with several others.
The investigation is ongoing, Hawkins said Thursday. Detective Johan Kingsberry is building a case, piece by piece.
Police obtained a judge's permission to search the recovered truck. Evidence inside could help them make an arrest, Hawkins said. The case file is more than a half-inch thick, and that's not all of it, either.
The victim is recovering.
Malaby's instincts came in handy, Hawkins said.
"It was good police work, simple as that," he said.
