5 Tips to Stay on Top of Your Hospital Bill
The Commonwealth Fund states that in 2007, 72 million Americans either experienced problems paying medical bills or accrued medical debt. Billing errors are often at the root of this problem, creating medical bills that patients can't afford. Interpreting a hospital bill can be complicated and reviewing it line-by-line can be time-consuming and overwhelming.
It pays off to be informed. There are medical billers, medical coders, doctors and other health care professionals involved in each hospital stay. Miscommunication on any part can lead to mistakes. What can you do? Start by following these tips:
1. Plan ahead if possible – If your hospital stay is planned, make sure you double check your coverage before your hospital stay. This will enable you to verify the cost of any procedures and the amounts that will be covered.
2. Don't leave the hospital without an itemized bill – Once you're discharged, it is harder to obtain, so make sure you have it in your hand before you leave.
3. Keep track of everything – It is important for you to know who is treating you and exactly what they are doing. Make sure you ask questions and take names. Note: if you are unable to keep track of this information, have a spouse, family member or friends do it for you.
4. Don't immediately pay the bill – Make sure you take the time to carefully go over the bill and understand what the charges are for. Once you pay the bill, it will be harder to re-coup your money if there are mistakes.
5. Make the hospital accountable – Don't let the hospital ignore the erroneous charges and assure you that your insurance company will pay for it. Mistakes are mistakes and the hospital needs to correct errors.

The year ahead looks bright, at least for DC Comics
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
As the new year continues to march forward, the wonderful people at DC Comics seem set to bring the world even greater comics than what have already come out of their "Rebirth" initiative. While Marvel may show some mild promise with its "All-New, All-Different and Now!" stories, DC has continued to outperform Marvel in sales, and a lot of the success they have experienced stems from their return to familiar and beloved concepts within the established New 52 universe, catering to both old and new fans alike and further deepening an already rich mythos. Tey have truly abided by the old saying: "If it's not broken, don't fix it."
The DC creative team has genuinely catered to its longtime audiences by respecting desires to see old favorite characters as they are remembered, while Marvel continuously reboots its core characters within the main universe instead of within alternate realities where only the most dedicated readers will be able to find them. While this is admirable from a certain perspective, in that many of the new imaginings of characters provide role models for minorities, it can be a potentially devastating business model for the constant shifting in main characters that will continue to lose fans as often as they are removed from main canon. Tat is, Marvel fans would be done a disservice for losing characters to whom they grow attached.
However, the biggest way by far that DC will remain the king of the comics industry is with its multiple crossovers, or storylines told across multiple titles, that are set for release in the first half of this year. Te year began with a resounding thunderclap as the event "Justice League vs. Suicide Squad," the first since "Rebirth," began last May, which was continued from its beginning at the end of December to give a solid start to this year.
In this story, the master manipulator Maxwell Lord IV, an enemy of Superman and leader of Checkmate, the U.N.'s peacekeeping force, frees the original Suicide Squad—composed of the unkillable alien bounty hunter Lobo, the insane magnetism master Doctor Polaris, the futuristic foe Emerald Empress, the unhinged and ghostly Johnny Sorrow and the international terrorist Rustam—for a plan of revenge against Task Force X commander Amanda Waller. Lord seeks the Heart of Darkness, which can awaken in everyone it touches their darkest desires. Together, only the Justice League and Suicide Squad can stop him, which seems to have been planned by Waller to gain legitimacy for her group in the eyes of the World's Greatest Heroes. Te effectiveness of the "Justice League vs. Suicide Squad" event lay in the fact that only Batman (of course) knew of the Suicide Squad's existence, and the fact that many of their greatest enemies had been hired by the government to carry out black ops missions in return for lessened sentences did not sit well with the rest of the League. However, the teams managed to overcome their differences and achieve a mutual respect for each other.
The events set the stage for the new Justice League of America series, a team that looks to be the most racially and gender diverse lineup yet. Batman and the gay superhero, the Ray, who can manipulate all forms of light, are the only white men on a team comprised of the freezing meta-human Killer Frost, who showed her good side in the fight against Max Lord, longtime member Black Canary, Lobo, Vixen—an African-American fashion designer and animal rights activist who can assume the powers of any animal she wishes—and Ryan Choi, who has taken up the mantle of the shrinking hero, the Atom.
The next major crossover, "Superman Reborn," finally begins to unravel the mystery surrounding Mr. Oz, who told Superman he was not who he thinks he is. Combining tales from the main Superman series, as well as Action Comics, it will integrate the Lex Luthor Superman into what is already being teased as an emotional thrill ride.
Finally, in what is set to be the most important crossover of "Rebirth," Batman and the Flash, the two greatest detectives, team up in "The Button" to find out what the mysterious, bloodied smiley-face button that showed up in the Batcave when Wally West returned is.
Longtime readers will know that this is the Comedian's button, and that this story could finally introduce the Watchmen into mainstream DC continuity, a moment fans have been eagerly anticipating since they discovered Dr. Manhattan was behind everything. We'll just have to see what comes of these stories, but one thing is certain: Marvel heads will roll.

Lexus tweaks current CT 200h for the final time; drops hybrid from US lineup
It has been six years since Lexus introduced the current generation of the CT 200h hybrid. For the 2018 model year, the current CT 200h lives through with some minor updates on its styling. We are hoping that it is the final facelift for the current generation, as Lexus somewhat signaled the impending arrival of the next-gen model by dropping the CT 200h from its lineup in the United States.
Perhaps the most glaring visual tweak made on the 2018 Lexus CT 200h could be found on its front end, particularly on its F Sport style spindle grille. On the 2017 iteration of the CT 200h, the grille features a horizontal bar. Likewise, although the grille looks as if it is one unit, it is actually interrupted on the mid-section. Meanwhile, the spindle grille on the 2018 CT 200h comes with a mesh pattern, and is now continuous from top section to the bottom.
In addition, the new 2018 Lexus CT 200h is now provided with signature "L" daytime running lights that now employ LED technology, as repositioned just above the single-projector headlamps. Moreover, the fog light bezels are now finished in metallic grey as surrounded by an outer frame with a triangular cross-section.Read the entire article Lexus tweaks current CT 200h for the final time; drops hybrid from US lineup
2014 Lexus CT 200h Facelift gets a price tag of £20,995 in the UK
Lexus is offering a number of upgrades to the CT 200h range, including improvements in styling, handling and equipment. Complementing the upgrades are significant cuts in prices and attractive finance options. The 2014 CT 200h S entry level S model is priced at £20,995, representing a £1,000 cut. Other five variants in the range have their prices trimmed up to £1,500.
The 2014 CT 200h is also available with excellent finance offers: the new CT 200h S can be availed from just £219 per month, while the high-spec Advance model can be availed from £259 per month via Lexus Business Drive contract hire. Aside from the affordable prices, the CT 200h boasts of exceptional fuel efficiency.
Across the CT 200h range, CO2 emissions were all below the 100g/km threshold, and in fact, the S version boasts of a new class-leading low of 82g/km – which means the range carries no charge for annual Vehicle Excise Duty. Business owners also get the lowest band for benefit-in-kind taxation, at 10 per cent for the first year.Read the entire article 2014 Lexus CT 200h Facelift gets a price tag of £20,995 in the UK
Updated and improved 2014 Lexus CT 200h is available from $32,050
The 2014 Lexus CT 200h compact luxury hybrid features revised exterior as well as updated features while still having an MSRP of $32,050, excluding a delivery, processing and handling fee of $910. The 2014 CT also boasts of providing impressive fuel economy at EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 43/40/42 mpg city/highway/ combined.
It also dons a new sporty look thanks to an updated front fascia that includes a full Lexus spindle grille, new front bumper, LED daytime running lights and updated fog lamp surrounds. Its exterior is further complemented by a new five-spoke 17-inch wheel design, new rear bumper design, LED rear license plate lighting and larger rear spoiler as well as aero-stabilizing fins, shark fin antenna and scratch-resistant clear coat. The cabin features a thinner Display Audio (DA)/Navigation screen which boast of next generation multimedia system like HD Radio real-time traffic and weather.
Models fitted with the optional navigation system get generation-two Remote Touch Interface. The hybrid now features standard six-speaker and premium 10-speaker audio systems. Offered as standard are a redesigned leather shift knob and sliding sun visors. Display Audio and Navigation both features Bluetooth 3.0 and dual USB. The steering wheel was also updated to provide a better feel.Read the entire article Updated and improved 2014 Lexus CT 200h is available from $32,050
Lexus introduces entry-level CT 200h S Grade
Lexus targets a wider range of customers with its new entry-point S grade, making the CT 200h more accessible but without downgrading its luxury and technologies that people have come to expect of Lexus models. The new CT 200h is equipped with new 15-inch five-spoke alloy wheels and a bigger rear spoiler, permitting it to cut its CO2 emissions to 87g/km.
Lexus revised the entire CT 200h model range for 2013. Lexus added to it to get to five model grades, raising the appeal of the only fully hybrid luxury compact hatchback in the market. It also made some slight equipment modifications along with the realignment of the grade structure. Premier, which replaces the SE-L Premier, gets a DAB digital tuner and electric front passenger seat adjustment.
Meanwhile, F Sport gets an electric passenger seat control plus Smart Entry and Start. Luxury (the replacement for the SE-L) gains power-folding door mirrors and Smart Entry and Start. SE, which replaces SE-I, gets power-folding door mirrors. All of the models will get a revised front armrest with more soft padding.Read the entire article Lexus introduces entry-level CT 200h S Grade
Although Lexus expects sales of its CT 200h hybrid to increase by 25% this year compared to last year, this figure still isn't at a level that the automaker would be pleased with. In an interview with WardsAuto, Lexus U.S. group vice president and general manager Mark Templin said that with the high demand worldwide not just for the CT but also for other models that use these parts, it makes it difficult for the company to "ramp up" as fast as it wants.
He said that the hybrid will likely reach the 18,000-unit range this year based on the supply that it could get. Last year, Lexus was able to sell 14,381 CT 200hs in the U.S. The CT hatchback, which uses the same powertrain as Toyota's Prius hybrid, is Lexus' smallest and most affordable offering in the U.S., with the 2012 model having a starting price of $29,120.
It is also available in Japan, China and Europe. In March 2011, Japan's auto industry became devastated by a calamity. This is the month that the CT hybrid was launched in the U.S. Toyota's production suffered. Toyota's plant in Kyushu, Japan, prioritized the CT and its Prius assembly-line mate. With the boost in production for the 5-door Lexus, its sales in the U.S. increased to over 1,000 units each month, exceeding its goal.Read the entire article Lexus says the new models using the CT platform are possible
Besides the GS F Sport project, Five Axis also wanted to show us that the smaller Lexus CT 200h can also be modified and revealed the first photos with the new vehicle which will be introduced next week at the 2011 SEMA Show. The new Lexus CT 200h comes with a completely new body kit, featuring a new front bumper, new side sills and a sick rear bumper with integrated exhaust system.The car also comes with a new paint, the JDSU 'Dark Passage'.
Moreover, the design is completed by the custom 19-inch Five:AD forged wheels, wrapped in high performance Yokohama Advan Sport tires.
Behind these tires we find the Stop Tech high performance brake kit as well as a new Tein Flex coilover suspension system. Inside, the car features uniquely appointed seats with laser etched ultrasuede ecodesign inserts, custom illuminated headlinder, upholstery by Turinmodel, custom touchscreen interface center console and 3M Crystalline window film by The Tint Factory.Read the entire article 2011 SEMA Preview: Lexus CT 200h by Five Axis
The new Lexus CT 200h F-Sport features a CT 200h hybrid premium, which has had its styling and handling improved. The tweaked suspension represents the key change on the Lexus CT 200h F-Sport. The coil spring rates were switched and the standard Showa shock absorbers have been replaced with Kayaba dampers to offer "more sports-oriented performance."
Body vibrations are minimized by the lateral dampers, which result to a more linear steering feel and better comfort. External modifications were done on the Lexus CT 200h F-Sport, including 17-inch alloys, a bigger rear spoiler, flared side skirts, a mesh front grille and revised bumpers.
A flat-bottomed steering wheel, aluminum pedals and scuff plates were added to the cabin. The F-Sport is based on the CT 200h SE-L trim level but it has gotten cruise control, black leather upholstery, heated front seats, electric driver's seat adjustment, auto-dimming, electrically retractable door mirrors and a rear parking camera.Read the entire article 2012 Lexus CT 200h F-Sport introduced in the UK
It seems that Lexus aims to boost its sales and the only solution would be to introduce new models. Due to the fact that consumers need smaller models, a perfect addition would be a small crossover, based on the popular CT 200h. The idea is not new to us, as back in July we reported that Toyota is planning to launch six new hybrids and one of them would be a new Lexus, dubbed CX 300h, which will hit the showrooms by the end of 2012.
The new crossover will look like a smaller RX and will take on cars such as the Audi Q3, Bmw X1 or the Infiniti EX. Few sources confirmed the fact that the new car will use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine featuring the Hybrid Synergy Drive system used in the Camry Hybrid and the unsuccessful HS 250h dedicated hybrid sedan.
According to German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, the small crossover will be designed for the European market, but this doesn't mean that it won't be offered in the United States. A smaller hybrid crossover would be the perfect addition to Lexus' lineup as the RX line made up 45 percent of firm's US sales so far this year.Read the entire article Lexus planning new small hybrid crossover based on the CT 200h, dubbed CX 300h
If you don't like the 2012 Lexus LS 460 Special Edition or the 2012 ES 350 Touring Edition, we have another proposal for you: the 2012 Lexus CT 200h F Sport Special Edition. As expected, the CT 200h F Sport Special is also the cheapest special edition, with a price tag of $37,995 plus the $875 processing and handling fee.
The new special edition of the Lexus CT 200h production will be limited to 900 units, each available for only the Premium model and in three colors: Nebula Gray Pearl, Starfire Pearl and Tungsten Pearl.
Moreover, the 2012 Lexus CT 200h F Sport Special Edition will include the following features: F Sport 17-inch alloy wheels with Liquid Silver finish, F Sport suspension with anti-sway bar and springs, Ocean Blue NuLuxe trimmed seats, TUMI tote and backpack both with F Sport embossed logo and Ocean Blue NuLuxe zippers and lining,Read the entire article 2012 Lexus CT 200h F Sport Special Edition unveiled, priced at $37,995!
For those who don't know, the Lexus CT 200h was launched in spring 2010 and since then the car attracted younger customers to the brand, contributing significantly to company's growth in Europe. As of March 2011, the Lexus CT 200h accounted more than 70 per cent of Lexus Hybrid Drive orders.
In order to boost the sales even further, the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show marks the debut of the new CT 200h F-Sport, a new version designed to appeal to an even wider customer base.
As expected, the new version will bring a sporty design and will come with design features such as front and rear aero bumpers, a mesh treatment for the upper and lower front grilles, new side skirts, a larger spoiler as well as a new set of 17-inch dark-finish alloy wheels and F-Sport side badges.Read the entire article 2012 Lexus CT 200h F-Sport: official details, photos and specs
The latest Euro NCAP test results give the Lexus CT 200h the top marks when it comes to safety. In several fields, the Lexus hybrid topped its class, with a 94% protection rating for adults. It tied with the Volvo V60. The Lexus hatchback got high scores when it comes to the categories of child protection and safety assist but it tested poorly on pedestrian rating.
In the frontal impact, the passenger compartment remained stable and the knee airbags gave good protection to the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger.
In the side barrier impact, it scored maximum points as all body regions were protected well. In the side pole impact, its chest protection was marginal based on the rib deflections of its dummies. Also well-protected were the three-year dummy (with 11.9 points) and the 18-month dummy (with 11.2 points) out of a total of 12.Read the entire article 2011 Lexus CT 200h achieves five-star rating at the Euro NCAP crash testing
Lexus is relying on the CT200h to capture the market and double the brand's sales in Europe. Most Lexus vehicles are too large for European roads and are simply too expensive but the CT has been ideally packaged and priced to attract younger European buyers. It also has low emissions figures, enabling buyers to be exempted from most of the taxes levied on the car's rivals.
Sales of the CT200h have yet to hit full swing but the rate of orders being placed by local importers indicate that it will be a hit.
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf said that Lexus Netherlands received 1,000 orders for the vehicle. This is lower than the 1,500 units that Lexus seeks to sell this year but it is a big rise when compared to the sales in 2010 of all Lexus models in that country totaling to only 700 units.Read the entire article Lexus is relying on CT200h to double sales in Europe
Lexus will undertake its "largest campaign in scope and diversity" to launch the CT 200h entry-luxury hybrid, according to Automotive News. As gasoline prices continue to rise, Lexus is taking this opportunity to appeal to younger buyers.
Lexus didn't divulge how much it intends to spend on the campaign; however, it's not expected to exceed what was used to launch the original 1989 LS 400 or the 2009 RX 350, which had more of a mainstream media push.
For the CT 200h, Lexus has prepared TV ad spots but the focus will be on social media, YouTube, iTunes and the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas.Read the entire article Lexus' campaign for CT 200h will be very diverse, widest in scope
Expect the Lexus to show off its wild side at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show where the carmaker has a 20,000-square-foot exhibit filled with displays of its high-performance products. Lexus will be highlighting sporty accessories and incredible horsepower.
Paul Rohovsky, National Manager of Events and Promotions at Lexus, said that Lexus has been the top luxury brand for over a decade due to its refined sedans and SUVs but he believes the company has so much more to offer. He said that Lexus brings new excitement to the brand with vehicles such as the LFA supercar and youthful Lexus CT 200h entry-luxury hybrid.
Its F Sport accessories give customers the opportunity to boost the performance on several vehicles. One of the head turners in the exhibit is the inspirational and aspirational 552-horsepower V10 LFA supercar.Read the entire article 2011 Lexus CT200h by Five Axis coming to the Chicago Auto Show
Aftermarket developer Modellista has set its sights on the Lexus CT 200h. For the F Sport version of the premium compact, Modellista prepared a sporty body kit that can be bought right at the showroom. Exterior modifications include a front bumper add-on element, a set of side skirts, and a modified rear apron with a fresh exhaust layout.
It also received new details, such as LED fog lights and chromed elements. The vehicle now features a set of 18-inch rims.
The stock vehicle is already very impressive. Lexus describes the CT 200h to have presented for the first time the company's "unique synthesis of quality, sophistication and high technology" to the premium compact segment. Lexus also designed this model to reel in a younger group of customers.Read the entire article Lexus CT 200h F Sport by Modellista

Christmas food is as diverse as the cultures and customs present around the world, but Christmas food is a mix of tradition and modern day fun too. You must admit--Christmas Food is different than everyday food. Christmas Food is not just another compilation of predictable Christmas recipes; however, getting creative with serving Christmas food is very easy to do when you remember that the colors themselves are often enough to evoke Christmas imagery in the minds of most people.
Some great Christmas recipes are pineapple cheese ball, vegetables Christmas tree, Christmas cheese-spread and Christmas tree spread, which are also easy to prepare. The recipes kept from a generation to another differ from household to household, but they can significantly differ from province to province. People cook according to the same Christmas recipes and end up with the same table decorations most of the time. However, even though traditions with regard to Christmas recipes are great, they are not the same across States. Besides the savory dish, Christmas recipes include lots of cakes, pies, sugar, and candy, which are important for the little ones. Here's where Christmas baking and Grandma's recipes for the kids is great. Some of the best Christmas food is also the easiest to make, but do you agree that no one makes anything better than Grandma? And, particularly, at the Holiday? Ever notice that these Christmas recipes have just the right touch; the right amount; the right taste—and, sometimes, the recipe isn't even written down; however, Grandmas' --just know. It is a refreshing collection of innovative recipes. Food, fun, family friends and Scrabble, the perfect recipe combination for a great night of Delicious recipes and memory-making.
Santa Claus, the Christmas tree, sending Christmas cards, and singing carols have all been inherited from the cultures of the West. Traditions such as Biscuits, Christmas cake and milk (sometimes liquor) may be left out for Santa to consume during his visit. This means a red fur-coated Santa Claus riding a sleigh, carols such as Jingle Bells, and various snow-covered Christmas scenes on Christmas cards and decorations appear during the Christmas Holiday season. Several people use cookie cutters in the shape of a Christmas tree, Santa Claus or Rudolph to make their treats for Santa, as Christmas friendly as can be and the compliments from your guests will flow freely too. My favorite has to be the little Christmas tree/angel/Santa shape cookies that you can buy and are decorated with icing. I would have 1 or 2 cookies, and put out the rest for "Santa" with his glass of milk. Sometimes the reindeer would have cheese-cubes and the elves got carrot slices!

The Vulcan FlipStart is a 1.8-pound handheld PC that runs Windows XP Pro and integrates a QWERTY keyboard, and is likely to make Sony and OQO sweat just a little.
Does the name "Vulcan FlipStart" jog any brain cells? It was announced as vaporware around the same time the OQO model 01 made its debutalmost four years ago. Vulcan Portals is a company built under Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen's watchful eye. At that time, micro-PC processing parts and technology, as a whole, weren't up to speed, delaying the FlipStart's launch. Well, the time has finally come for this micro PC, and the FlipStart E-1001S ($1,999 direct) has materialized as a 1.8-pound handheld that runs a full version of Microsoft Windows XP Pro.Sony VAIO UX Series and OQO model 02. Like them, it's equipped with a QWERTY keyboard and all the wireless technologies you can think of. Unlike the OQO and Sony systems, the FlipStart is a clamshell, meaning that the 5.6-inch screen flips open instead of sliding upwards. This shape protects the screen from nicks and scratches where the Sony's and OQO's designs leave them susceptible. The exterior is made up of ABS plastic, and, as you can imagine, the unit is pretty thick. It measures 4.0 by 5.4 by 1.3 inches and weighs a scant 1.8 pounds, ideal for cradling in your hands. In comparison, the OQO model 02 comes in at just under a pound.
Once you flip open the FlipStart's miniature lid, you'll notice that the 5.6-inch screen is nicely lit. It's by far the biggest screen of the three (the OQO's is 5 inches and the Sony's is 4.5 inches). The resolution is 1,024-by-600, which gives you a nice widescreen format for stretched videos. An integrated QWERTY keyboard looks intriguing, but can be challenging. There are two ways to type on this thing: You can lay it flat and attempt to finger-type (not touch-type), which is not impossible. Or, ideally, you can thumb-type, as on the OQO and Sony. The keys are bumpy, but no bumpier than those on the OQO, and they're definitely more responsive than the flatter keys on the Sony UX. The FlipStart's keys are also more spread out, so typing on it takes a little time to get used to. I tend to get a better response thumb-typing with keys that are closer together. My colleague Dan Costa found that he types faster on his Treo 650. Either way, there is always a huge learning curve when you're dealing with miniature thumb boards.
The number keys are situated across the top of the thumb board, as on a desktop keyboard. The Space Bar, Shift, and Enter keys are all oversize, which makes typing easier. As on the Sony and OQO, you have left- and right-click mouse buttons ay the top left corner of the keyboard. The somewhat stiff pointing stick is on the right. The FlipStart also has a miniature touchpad adjacent to the pointing stick, which is unique for a micro PC. For nighttime surfing, the keys are backlit, with an ambient sensor. Additional keys include a single Ctrl-Alt-Del key that's handy for stalled applications; a toggle key that switches between open windows; a desktop key that minimizes all applications; and media playback buttons (Play, Stop, Rewind, Fast Forward, Volume)all keys unique to the FlipStart.
The FlipStart has a SideShow-like display. Yes, a secondary display on top of the lid, with immediate access to Microsoft Outlook. The display is not exactly SideShow, the cool Windows Vista feature that's used effectively on the ASUS W5fe. Instead, the FlipStart's display runs independent of Windows, using its own small, embedded ARM processor and 8MB of flash memory. One small caveat: It syncs with Outlook only. It doesn't work with music, RSS feeds, or photos, even though it's a color display, and it won't work with other Windows mail clients such as Windows Mail and Outlook Express. In order to sync with Outlook, the FlipStart has to be put to sleep; if you shut it down you can't get real-time e-mail and calendar information. To me, the addition of a secondary display is questionable. The unit itself is already tiny: Can someone truly be too busy to flip open a 1.8-pound laptop? Regardless, Vulcan has informed me that it is working with other third-party developers to add other applets, which may make the display more useful.
The FlipStart is made for frequent flyers. It has the wireless capabilities to keep you connected at all times. Its key wireless component is a built-in cellular modem (to be supported by an as-yet-unnamed carrier). As long as you have a cell-phone signal, you can surf the Net and access e-mail (at up to 780 Mbps in Manhattan). At $60 to $80 per month, data plans aren't cheap, but neither is the FlipStart. For faster throughput, the unit has integrated 802.11b/g. Bluetooth is also built in, for use with mono and stereo Bluetooth headsets. Ethernet or wired connectivity requires the use of a dock, which is included with the unit. In addition to the Ethernet port, the dock has two USB ports, VGA-out, and a line-out port, but it doesn't quite match up to the innovative docking station on the OQO model 02.
The FlipStart itself doesn't come with many ports. Like the OQO and Sony, it has a lone USB 2.0 port. I couldn't connect USB-powered optical drives and 2.5-inch hard drives to it, because it simply didn't provide enough current for them. External mice, flash drives, and keyboards are okay. Vulcan will have a compatible external optical drive for those that need one. Otherwise, you'll have to find drives that run on AC power. (The OQO suffers from the same current limitation.) Aside from the USB port, the FlipStart has a headphone port that doubles as a microphone port. There's also a scroll button for long Web pages and spreadsheets. Like the Sony UX Series, a webcam is situated near the hinge for use in webcasting and video chatting.
Ideally, you'll want to stay away from heavy-duty applications with the FlipStart; it runs an older 1.1-GHz Intel Pentium M 733 with an older chipset (915GM). Still, the processor is better than the VIA processor found on the OQO. The Sony, with its Intel Core Solo, has the top processing speed of the three. I did find it troubling that the FlipStart comes with only 512MB of RAM, and it's not upgradable. You could run Windows Vista without its 3D Aero interface, but ideally, you'd stick to Windows XP Pro. The native resolution is too low to run Adobe Photoshop CS2, but I did manage to finish my video-encoding tests in a reasonable time (5 minutes 20 seconds). I'd suggest that you stick to light-duty tasks and not get fancy. It can handle checking and composing e-mail, Web surfing, running Microsoft's office suite, watching a downloaded video, and running remote desktop apps. The FlipStart's battery life is not bad at all. It managed the movie Titanic right up to the closing credits, running down in 3 hours 16 minutes. With light-duty tasks the battery will probably last you in the range of 5 to 6 hours, good enough for a coast-to-coast flight.
Overall, the Vulcan FlipStart E-1001S is a decent traveling companion, with its light weight, solid battery life, QWERTY keyboard, and built-in cellular wireless capability. Vulcan still needs to improve on certain things, such as adding upgradable RAM, more apps for the secondary display, and better accessories. After more than four years' incubation under Paul Allen's supervision, the FlipStart E-1001S has emerged as a very good for first version.

Most people are blissfully unaware that their thyroid exists. Until they have a problem. But how can you tell if you actually do have thyroid problems?
What Are Thyroid Problems?
Thyroid problems are caused by issues with your thyroid. The thyroid is a small gland that sits at the bottom of your neck. It has a narrow middle section connecting two wing shaped side pieces.
Most of the time, you don't know it's there. And it doesn't cause you any problems. Unfortunately, this can quickly change. Though this gland is small, it plays an important role in your health.
Your thyroid gland produces hormones. These hormones affect the metabolic activity of your body. If you have a thyroid problem, this alters your body's metabolism.
That's why, when this gland goes haywire, it can wreak havoc on your entire body. Making sure that your thyroid hormones are in balance is one of the best things that you can do for your health.
Side Effects of Thyroid Problems
Many people don't even realize that the gland is malfunctioning until some pretty noticeable side effects begin to crop up. Anyone can develop a thyroid impairment that leads to hormonal imbalance.
Even children and teenagers can have problems with their thyroid - but thyroid problems leading to hormonal imbalance is more common in women. Your thyroid is the gland that gives you many different hormones.
Each of these hormones is important for your overall health. Two of the most important hormones the gland produces are known as the T4 and T3 hormones. Without the right amount of these hormones, it causes some big problems.
Lump or Swelling
One of the first outwardly noticeable signs that something is wrong with your thyroid is a lump or swelling at the base of the throat. Some women with thyroid hormone imbalance report feeling like their ability to swallow food has been impaired or they feel pressure toward the bottom of the neck.
This is because when the thyroid is having problems, one of the symptoms of that can be swelling and this causes the thyroid to become enlarged. As it grows in size, it puts pressure on the windpipe and can lead to a goiter on the outside of the throat.
Some women with thyroid hormone problems can develop nodules on the gland. If your thyroid swells, that's a common sign that it's not producing enough of the hormones that it's supposed to make.
Thyroid Problems Affect Your Weight
Your thyroid plays an important role in your ability to maintain a healthy weight as it's in charge of keeping your metabolism working. If the hormones produced by this gland get unbalanced, then it can lead to gaining or losing weight.
This weight loss or weight gain is usually rapid enough to be noticeable. It can be one of the most often recognized signs that something is wrong with the thyroid.
One reason that a thyroid hormone imbalance can cause weight gain is because when the levels aren't right, it can make you feel hungry, even if you've just eaten. This leads people to eating more calories than they should.
Low Levels of Thyroid Hormones
If your thyroid isn't producing enough of the hormones, you'll notice that you feel fatigued. You'll also notice mood swings - especially sadness or depression. You might struggle to lose weight even when you're barely eating enough calories.
You'll feel cold even when in a warm environment. Brain fog, thinning hair, constipation and dry skin are all signs that you're lacking hormones.
If your thyroid produces too few hormones, then you'll experience fatigue that is crippling - even if you sleep well. This imbalance can also lead to depression.
You need your thyroid levels accurate in order to help keep the serotonin levels where they should be. Without that, you don't get the much needed feel good effects from serotonin.
If your thyroid levels are too low, this is known as hypothyroidism.
High Levels of Thyroid Hormones
On the flip side, if your thyroid production is too high, you'll have an excessively fast heart rate, your skin may get clammy, you'll feel hot all over or have hot flashes, fatigue and you'll lose weight rapidly.
If your thyroid levels are too high, this is known as hyperthyroidism. And the reason that either of them can change your weight is because
If there's too little or too much hormone, then the metabolism changes. While some people might joke that having a thyroid problem that causes weight loss could be a good thing, the health risks associated with it can be serious.
A thyroid imbalance that's hyper where you're producing too much of the hormone can cause you to feel anxious. You might feel like you have the jitters and can't sit still. This is because the overabundance of hormones hits your system all at once and this influx can impact your health and ability to function.
Other Thyroid Problems
When these hormones are out of balance, it can also cause constipation or diarrhea, depending on which type of imbalance you have. Some effects of a thyroid hormone imbalance have a crossover when it comes to symptoms.
You can have insomnia, cognitive problems or menstrual cycle changes with either type. If you've noticed changes in your weight and suspect that you're experiencing thyroid problems, then you need to get your levels checked.
What to do if You Think You Have Thyroid Problems
You'll want to ask your doctor for a TSH test, which is the thyroid-stimulating hormone test. If your thyroid feels enlarged or you notice a goiter or thinning hair or eyebrows, then you also need to have a TPO test done.
This stands for thyroid peroxidase antibody and this test checks for autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto's Disease, which specifically targets the thyroid function and can cause changes in weight.
Without a normal thyroid hormone balance, you simply can't function well. If you have a family history of thyroid health problems, you need to get tested to see if you also have it since it can go undetected for years. You want to try to catch a malfunctioning thyroid before it wreaks havoc on your health.

The company is working on a stylus which will feature extendable nib with multiple tips and a built in light sensor
AppleInsider has secured some patent pictures of the new stylus being developed by Apple. The company is currently working on this new stylus which is going to come with an extendable nib with multiple tips and a built in light sensor. This nib is quite flexible and is perfect for drawing extremely thin lines with its ability to work entirely from within the chassis. Multiple touch zones such as a paintbrush can also be delivered by the nib.
The exposed nib extended out of the stylus' body enables the tablet's GUI to produce different output color, opacity, etc. Moreover, the nib or the individual strands can be extended with the help of an actuator and this allows the tip to act as a paint brush. We are assuming the stylus will have some kind of a collar system inside because both the nib and the miltuple strands tip will extend out of a single hole. These strands will not be as simple as they sound; they will probably feature light-transmissive tips through which data could pass. The patent for this advanced stylus was issued in year 2012 and has finally been granted status today.

LOS ANGELES (AP) "Bachelor in Paradise" cast member Corinne Olympios said her team's investigation of the reality show was completed to her satisfaction.
But Olympios said Thursday that she declined an invitation to return to the ABC series when it resumes production.
Earlier this month, taping was halted on the show after unspecified allegations of possible misconduct. A subsequent review of show videotape by producer Warner Bros. found no evidence of that, the studio has said.
Warner declined further comment Thursday.
In a statement, Olympios said her intent has been to understand what happened during a June 4 taping she couldn't recall.
"While I never filed complaints or accusations against anyone associated with 'Bachelor in Paradise,' my team and I felt it was very important to be thorough in getting to the bottom of what had occurred," she said.
Olympios said she welcomed changes made to the show and was grateful to have participated in the spinoff of "The Bachelor."
While she understands media interest in the matter and appreciates fans' concern for her well-being, it's "best if I keep any further thoughts private for now," she said.

Satire is number one in 'Urinetown,' which opens at Barn Theatre in Montville on Nov. 9
Cast members rehearse a musical number for TheatreZone's upcoming production of Urinetown in collaboration with Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers on Monday, Oct. 8, 2018. Naples Daily News
No question about it: "Urinetown" may be one of the worst titles of any musical.
That fact is emphasized, more than once, in the show itself.
In a running gag, two of the characters – gruff Officer Lockstock (yes, he has a partner named Officer Barrel) and a precocious urchin named Little Sally – stop the action to comment on the plot, the characters, and the appropriateness of that title.
This is a case of breaking the fourth wall between characters and audience. This show smashes that wall to teeny-weeny bits and then shooting the bits into outer space, as Alan Van Antwerp gleefully noted.
"The tone of this show is difficult to capture," said Van Antwerp. "It has minimal sets, and the characters are silly. But it has a message."
Van Antwerp is directing a production of "Urinetown" for the Barn Theatre in Montville. The award-winning musical by the team of Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann runs from Nov. 9 through Dec. 1.
See also: Love, their way: Psychedelic Furs perform songs from their 40-year career
The setting for the musical is a city where a drastic water shortage has forced lower-class residents to use only public pay toilets. Any insubordination results in people being sent to Urinetown, an unspecified location from which no one returns.
Lording over the city is a conglomerate headed by an unscrupulous businessman, Caldwell Cladwell (Tom Schopper), who has the local politicians under his control.
Complications arise when Cladwell's daughter, Hope (Danielle Pennisi), falls in love with stalwart Bobby Strong (Stephen Kalogeras), who works at the filthiest public urinal in the city.
Throughout the show, Officer Lockstock (Tim White) and Little Sally (Allie Acquafredda) offer their commentary and periodically spoil plot points well in advance of the action.
Van Antwerp said that "Urinetown" is a satire of capitalism, populism, corporate greed, and even the musical form itself. He observed that the Act I finale is called simply "Act I Finale."
"It's my favorite number," he said. "It's chaotic and crazy."
In that sense, it follows the tradition of "epic theater" that was championed by playwright Bertolt Brecht. Van Antwerp explained that epic theater destroys the illusion of reality by interrupting the story line to address the audience directly.
The production personnel at the Barn approach the show from a place of love. Van Antwerp said that he, musical director Jack Bender and choreographer Megan Ferentinos have been involved in 10 different stagings of "Urinetown."
"I hope by now we know what we're doing," Van Antwerp said with a laugh. In a more serious tone, he added, "This is not an easy show to do. The songs are long and very wordy. They're challenging in the way that Gilbert and Sullivan is challenging."
In casting the show, Van Antwerp said he was careful to select performers who could handle that tone and the outrageous dialogue with a straight face.
"There's a fine line between funny and not funny," he said. "What makes (the movie spoof) 'Airplane!' so funny is that Leslie Nielsen and Peter Graves are so sincere. It's the same here. We lucked out with this show. We have a really good cast."

See also: 'Love/Sick' is a dose of laughter
For all its unconventional aspects, "Urinetown" actually manages to make a point, according to Van Antwerp. In fact, he argued its message is even more timely in 2018 than when it premiered in 2001.
"The show is set in 'the near present future,' " Van Antwerp said. "That's a joke, but it's not a joke. With the concerns about the environment, think about how close we are to living in a town like Urinetown.
"It's topical for other reasons," he continued. "The hero and heroine could stand for the generation that thinks they have a solution, but really all they have is their ideals. There are other points, but we'll let the text speak for itself."
When: Nov. 9 through Dec. 1
Where: The Barn Theatre, 32 Skyline Drive, Montville
Tickets: $25 ($23 for seniors and students at matinees only)

Heroic woman who was scarred for life by a horrific acid attack returns to the scene of the crime
Her boyfriend of seven years paid an accomplice to attack her at the bus stop near her Suffolk home
A BRAVE woman has returned to the place where acid was thrown on her, leaving her without an ear and scarring to her face, neck and hand.
Adele Bellis has gone back to the bus stop where she was stood when she was attacked using sulphuric acid, to put up a giant poster for her new book.
The book, titled Brave, tells her story in a bid to help other women recognise the signs of domestic abuse and seek help.
Her ex-boyfriend, Anthony Riley, 26, had abused her in the six months leading up to the attack at the bus stop near her home in Suffolk.
He was jailed for life after he paid accomplice Jason Harrison, 27, to throw acid on the 24-year-old in August 2014.
One year on from the attack she told The Sun on Sunday: "He wanted my face and he didn't get that, I still have it and I'm still here.
"He couldn't beat me then and I won't let him beat me now."
The attack left Adele without a right ear, with permanent scarring and partially bald.
She decided to put the poster for her book in the spot where she was brutally targeted to show her attackers that she will not be beaten.
She said: "I wanted the advert at the bus stop where the attack took place to prove to everyone that I would not be broken by what happened.
"He thought that day would ruin me but that place is now actually advertising the book, so a big positive has come out of it.
"On that day I thought my life was over but standing there with my book advertised at the bus stop was a very proud moment.
"To think I was standing there two years ago after this happened to me - it shows how far I've come."
After the attack she spent most of the following year having intensive treatment, and stayed in a specialist burns clinic.
She did manage to get to the bus stop after Riley was convicted last year, and now she is able to go past it as if it were no different to any other bus stop - such is her strength of character and positive mentality.
She said: "It doesn't mean anything to me now. It's like any other bus stop.
"Sometimes I think I should feel scared, but I don't."
Adele has said she also wants to use her experience to teach children about domestic abuse and to campaign for greater support for victims.

SPRINGFIELD – Majority Leader Kimberly A. Lightford (D-Maywood) responded to Gov. JB Pritzker's first Budget Address on Wednesday with the following statement:
"The governor presented a plan that delivers on his commitment to education, restorative justice and social services. I am especially excited about the increase in education funding that prioritizes investment in some of our neediest districts across the state including additional funding for early childhood education and grants for low income college students.
"While we do have some work ahead of us, this is a good place to start. I look forward to exploring the governor's proposal further and finding ways to making a lot of these promises a reality."

Marc Platt and Sega will collaborate in making a new feature film based on the video game of Shinobi.
It is the age of the CGI and nothing seems impossible to make these days. With the success of major superhero movies and fantasy movies, video games are also setting foot in the premises. This year, Warcraft and Assassin's Creed, and Tomb Raider reboot are already in works and it only seemed plausible that Sega hit video game Shinobi will also get the spotlight.
Variety reported that producer Marc Platt of Marc Platt Productions is partnering with Adam Siegel, along with Stories International President and CEO Tomoya Suzuki to develop the adaptation of the Sega video game Shinobi. The producer will be working with Stories International Inc., the production arm of the Sega Group to make the movie a possibility.
The original Sega video game was launched in 1987, based on a character named Joe Musashi, who became a skilled ninja with the Oboro clan, as he fought off an evil ninja syndicate known as Zeed. The game then led to a number of sequels such as Shadow Warrior and The Revenge of Shinobi.
Talking about the project, Platt said that Hollywood has never truly explored the world of Ninjas. By making this movie, they will pay homage to the culture and the characters and the video game which is the original inspiration for the movie and also bring this fantastic world to the movie goers.
There is yet to be a screenwriter and director to be signed on for making the movie. According to an initial report by Sega, Shinobi is one of the video games that the company wants to adapt into feature film. Tomoya Suzuki is also attached to the project and expressed him excitement for working with Sega and Platt.

BELVIDERE, Ill. (WIFR) – Some local students are using Friday Night Football to give back to Harvey victims.
Belvidere North Clubs will be collecting donations at tomorrow night's game against Jefferson. A table will be set up at the stadium before and during the game to collect canned food, baby items, hygiene products.
"Seeing how this is bringing our nation together, seeing what people are going through, and how it's impacting makes me want to be able to do more even coming together as a community. We're a small community of Belvidere, but seeing how we can come together is really inspiring," says Nicole Brattan, a senior at Belvidere North High School.

Website for NPO Quebrar o Silêncio
QUEBRAR O SILÊNCIO - in English "Breaking the silence" - is the first Portuguese Non Profit Organization dedicated to help boys and men overcome sexual abuse trauma.
The association started on January 2017 and on their first week they received close to 50 contacts for help. Only 14 months after that, a few men already have a new life after receiving support.
Ângelo Fernandes is a very good friend who happens to be one of the most courageous people I ever met.
As the association was planned to launch, a website was needed to publish their communication.
I was given the opportunity to contribute to the project by helping to build their website.
The website would be built using WordPress and I had only one experience with the platform, a few years ago.
I know very little about PHP, the language WordPress is written on.
The deadline was tight and I needed to articulate with Ângelo's availability for continuous feedback and approval on every stage of the work.
First we listed the key contents. I inserted each one in cut paper pieces and gave it to them, so they could prioritize the identified elements. This image was the first arrangement.
After that I drew a homepage wireframe and as they matured ideias, the elements were rearranged.
Next task was to find a theme and as fewer external widgets as possible, that worked well together to deliver the content needs.
Turns out WordPress came a long way since I first tryed it, and it was easier than I though it would be, to creat the child theme and to find decent widgets to work with.
When the structure was stable and approved, I designed a very simple UI, with a fixed width layout, as requested.
Ângelo was pleased with everything except the colour scheme. But instead of iterating, Ângelo asked to do it himself. As he is a graphic artist, I prepared a CSS override where I grouped the similar graphic elements, so he could try different tones until he was happy.
In this case, Ângelo belongs to the target audience. So more than building the website with a client, I built it with a user. And my user turned out a good UI designer :-)
Final product
As in all other frameworks, as soon as you finish your first project, you're ready to start over and do it better. And we'll do that in the future.

Your stay your way
Essential's programme: "All In" for maximum results or "Time Out" afternoons, you decide.
Our team of first-class fitness, food and health professionals have devised a wonderful new relaxed programme in Mallorca. Unlike Ibiza which is a full life transformation "All in" programme and has full group participation all day with smaller intimate groups, here you have a choice designed for those who like the option of a less intense experience.
Our mornings are for the whole team to join in until lunch time, then optional activities in the afternoon.
Groups in Mallorca can range up to 30 people plus day campers and weekend guests.
Play hard, rest hard
At The Body Camp we play hard and rest hard. The afternoons and evenings are devoted to deep relaxation which includes recovery time for yoga, meditation, cookery school and reading (dribbly sleeps around the pool are also popular!).
You can enhance your stay by booking our incredible massages, beauty treatments and alternative therapies throughout the week. Whatever you choose, the experience will help you to reconnect with nature, your emotions, health and happiness and will push you physically further than you thought possible.
Diverse fat burning training
No day will be the same nor training session repeated. Our focus is on intense fat burning activities in the morning and low impact fat burn and recovery in the afternoon. Your muscle tone will improve, and lean muscle weight gained. Other benefits may be decreased cholesterol and triglycerides (fats in blood), lower blood pressure and resting heart rate.
Cycling & extra training classes can be booked as additions to the programme should you wish to go harder. The gym and studio are open to all our guests day and night.
Exercise, relax and discover the island of Mallorca
Our fun fitness activities are mainly based in the extensive grounds of our boutique hotel; however our hikes and cycling options cover the islands coves and mountains as well as enjoying the vibes of the gorgeous towns and villages. Hiking, mixed fitness circuits, boxing, body resistance, team games, functional movements, stretch, yoga and meditation feature in our weekly plan as well as some surprise classes that are completely different.
Mindfulness will be running through everything we do here as will our essentials mind guide to work from.
Our "no weigh" philosophy
We don't use weighing scales at The Body Camp, as our focus is on fat loss, fitness, strength and conditioning, new habits, personal peace of mind and happiness.
There are many reasons why weight fluctuates daily, including salt intake, glycogen stores, hormones and water retention. The number on the scales does not reflect body composition. We will teach you how to achieve a lean body by building muscle and reducing body fat in a healthy, conscious and adaptable way that you can easily put into your daily life at home through food and movement.
Please feel free to take your weight and measurements at home if you wish.
Awesome health and fitness journey
Losing weight is a given at The Body Camp but it's what you will gain from your time here that is difficult to put into words and very individual to each person. We know that you will have an unforgettable and magical experience. Our aim is that you return home with a better understanding of yourself, your fitness capabilities, food preparation and effects on your wellbeing and the tools to continue your health and fitness journey.
All guests are welcome to bring their own bikes and cycling kit for the afternoons. We will also supply you with a great hire company and cycling guides should you wish to arrange this before you arrive for delivery at the camp.

Turkey Brook rises near the Fir and Pond Woods nature reserve in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire.
The brook is named from the hamlet Turkey Street, which is recorded as Tokestreete (1441), Tuckhey strete (1610), Tuckey street (1615), and Turkey street (1805) (probably street of houses, i.e. hamlet, from Middle English strete, associated with a family called Toke or Tokey).
The modern form of the name Turkey, not in use before the 19th century, is no doubt due to folk etymology.[1]
The brook flows in an easterly direction and is joined by other streams including Cuffley Brook, Cattlegate Brook and the Small River Lea. Along its course it flows through Cuffley, Crews Hill Golf Club, Clay Hill, Whitewebbs Park, Forty Hill and Albany Park before merging with the River Lee Navigation below Enfield Lock.
The brook is mostly shallow, fast flowing and clean and can support wildlife. Coarse fish including dace use the brook to spawn.
