Dear Brewers Fans:
On behalf of everyone at the Milwaukee Brewers, I want to thank you for your tremendous support this year. More than 2.8 million fans attended Brewers home games in 2012, which once again placed us among the top teams in the National League. For the sixth consecutive season, over 2.75 million came through the turnstiles to cheer on the team, making the Brewers one of just nine teams in all of baseball to achieve that consistent level of fan loyalty and passion. It is no wonder that we have the most wins in MLB at home—106—over the past two seasons.
While we experienced a number of highs and lows this season, I hope you are as proud as I am of the way our team overcame some significant injuries and fought for the National League Wild Card during the final weeks of the season. We pulled within 1.5 games of the final Wild Card in the playoff chase and played meaningful games through the final weekend—up to Game 159. Earlier in the summer, it didn't look as if we would reach that point—and I am very encouraged by the tone that our end-of-season performance sets for next season. From August 20, the Brewers finished the season by going 29-13, tied for the best record in baseball with the Oakland A's over this time frame. I love that both our fans and our players never gave up on this season.
As I take a moment to reflect on this year—where we started and what we are taking with us into 2013—I see several statistics that are strong positives. We led the National League in three offensive categories: runs scored (776), home runs (202), and stolen bases (158)—a feat last accomplished 16 years ago by the Colorado Rockies. The home run total was the fifth time in Club history that the Crew hit more than 200 homers in a season, a record set in 2007 with 231. On the mound, our pitchers led both leagues with 1,402 strikeouts, falling just two short of an all-time MLB record. On an individual level, Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez were the most potent NL duo in terms of RBIs, totalling 217. Among rookies, Norichika Aoki led or was tied for the lead in many offensive categories, including hits, stolen bases as well as on-base, slugging, and OPS percentages. Yovani Gallardo was tied for second in the NL in Quality Starts, meaning that he pitched six or more innings while yielding three or fewer earned runs, with 25 (76 percent of his starts).
I am also excited by the performance of some of our new and younger talent, as well as by the performance of players we brought up who excelled at the Major League level. These young players assumed key roles during our resurgence, and they did extraordinarily well in pressure situations as we made our push for the Postseason. This is a credit to our Player Development and Scouting staffs under Doug Melvin's leadership, and through their hard work, we have great reason to be optimistic about the future.
As we look forward to next season, I am also committed to building on the tremendous efforts the Brewers organization and players have made in the community—efforts that you, the fans, have been particularly instrumental in assisting. We specifically would like to thank you for your support of Brewers Community Foundation. With your help, we raised more than $3.2 million this year and provided significant in-kind donations for more than 1,200 area non-profit organizations that focus on health care, education, recreation, and basic needs services. In addition to what you provided, we are proud to say that every single uniformed Brewers player and executive of the Club's front office staff contributed to Brewers Community Foundation in 2012.
The highlights from this season extended to events off the field as well. In August, we dedicated a new statue of fan-favorite and Hall of Fame play-by-play announcer Bob Uecker at the Home Plate Gate outside of Miller Park. His statue now stands among those for Hank Aaron, Robin Yount, and Commissioner Allan H. "Bud" Selig that celebrate and honor legends of the Brewers franchise. Bob's unique way of describing the joy of baseball has helped foster a strong bond for our Club in our community—a hometown guy who chose to stay in Milwaukee and share his passion for the game and life with us for more than forty years.
Over these past eight years, many exciting moments as a team were heard on the radio, viewed on Fox Sports Wisconsin or national telecasts, and witnessed at Miller Park. I know of no other place where the bond between a team and the community is stronger. For that, we have to continue to work hard to deliver on our pledges to you—to field a perennially competitive team that reaches the Postseason, where anything can happen; to deliver the best fan experience possible; to be an organization for which people want to work; and to be a leader in the community. We have had four winning seasons out of the past six, placing us among the most consistent winners in the National League, along with the Braves, Cardinals, Dodgers, Giants, and Phillies. This year, your unwavering loyalty carried us through a rough patch to the end of a season that had the true excitement of a pennant race. As we gear up for Spring Training and next season, we are thrilled to know that come Opening Day, your enthusiasm will be there to greet us at Miller Park—and I know it will help lead us to another winning season both on and off the field.
Go Brewers!
Mark Attanasio
Chairman and principal owner of the Milwaukee Brewers

When you create a hook with
make-hook, you must specify the arity
of the procedures which can be added to the hook. If the arity is not
given explicitly as an argument to
make-hook, it defaults to
zero. All procedures of a given hook must have the same arity, and when
the procedures are invoked using
run-hook, the number of
arguments passed must match the arity specified at hook creation time.
The order in which procedures are added to a hook matters. If the third
parameter to
add-hook! is omitted or is equal to
#f, the
procedure is added in front of the procedures which might already be on
that hook, otherwise the procedure is added at the end. The procedures
are always called from the front to the end of the list when they are
invoked via
The ordering of the list of procedures returned by
matches the order in which those procedures would be called if the hook
was run using
Note that the C functions in the following entries are for handling Scheme-level hooks in C. There are also C-level hooks which have their own interface (see Hooks For C Code.).
Create a hook for storing procedure of arity n_args. n_args defaults to zero. The returned value is a hook object to be used with the other hook procedures.
#t if hook is an empty hook,

Temperature Monitoring
Temperature monitoring was determined to be one of the most important aspects to record. The project team installed six monitoring stations both upstream and downstream of the two developments to ensure adequate data were obtained. Temperature data is obtained between May 1 and October 1.
Temperature Monitoring Station Locations
At the beginning of the project, temperature monitors were placed in the Kinnickinnic River upstream (Site 3) of the potential Hans Hagen Development, and upstream (Site 2) and downstream (Site 1) of the Sterling Ponds Development. In 2013, the project took on a more narrow scope and eliminated all but Site 5. A Trout Unlimited temperature monitoring station (Site 1A) between Sites 1 and 2 has been operating since 1992.
The temperature of the water both above and below each development is important. Temperature monitoring upstream and downstream of the Sterling Ponds property is possible, as Sumner Creek (a small, intermittent tributary of the Kinnickinnic River) extends through the property. Temperature monitors were placed in Sumner Creek at locations upstream (Site 6) and downstream (Site 4 and 4a) of the Sterling Ponds Development. Three temperature monitors (Site 5) were placed in and around one of the Sterling Ponds storm water detention ponds (wet pond). As for the proposed future development, there is no particular drainage way running through this area. A temperature monitor may be placed at the constructed outlet of the property, but until then it may be difficult to determine where the surface water enters the Kinnickinnic River.
Proposed Future Development
Since the beginning of the project, the proposed future development has been put into a permanent conservation easement and we have noticed that the effects of Sterling Ponds are "absorbed" in Sumner Creek prior to entering the Kinnickinnic. Therefore, we narrowed the scope of the project to determine how well the storm water practices are working within the Sterling Ponds subdivsion.
Sampling Protocol
Onset HOBO Water Temp Pro Loggers were purchased for the temperature monitoring component of this study. The loggers are each housed in a metal protective structure, as shown on the right, to deter theft and vandalism.
Loggers at sites 1 and 3 will be left in place year round. All other loggers will be launched May 1 through October 15 annually. The loggers are programmed to take readings every 10 minutes. Date and time stamps automatically update to match the computer the logger is launched from, therefore, by using the same computer to launch each logger the date and time stamps are synchronized.
Temperature data is downloaded monthly to prevent loss of an entire season of data if something should happen to any of the monitors. Stream temperatures are taken with a hand thermometer during the time the data is downloaded to verify the accuracy of the monitor's readings.

Despite his reputation as that rarest of creatures, the Hollywood intellectual, new evidence suggests that Steve Martin reads — prepare yourself — thrillers and spy novels. That's the only conclusion one can draw from the story credit the comic actor receives on Traitor, an uneven but engrossing terrorist thriller that's one part Syriana and many parts John le Carré and Frederick Forsyth, two masters of the double-agent, hunted-man novel. Martin shares his story credit with screenwriter and director Jeffrey Nachmanoff, whose work here is strong enough that he may finally shake off the taint of having written The Day After Tomorrow. Imagine his relief.
Traitor's man on the run is Samir Horn (Don Cheadle), an American-born mercenary who at age 9 witnessed his Sudanese Muslim father being blown to bits by a Middle Eastern car bomb. The culprits are unknown, but years later, Samir is in Yemen, selling Semtex explosives to jihadists and, as a bonus, providing lessons on how to handle a detonator. "I'm going to teach you how to use them," he says, "without blowing yourself up — unintentionally, that is." It's a rare joke for the heavy-hearted Samir, who has a tendency to stare off into the distance — a Cheadle specialty. He's mulling over, perhaps, his time as a soldier in the U.S. Special Forces, a job (and a country) that he turned his back on after a tour of duty in Afghanistan led him to become an Islamic fundamentalist.
"Is he a devout Muslim?" FBI agent Roy Clayton (Guy Pearce) asks Samir's girlfriend (Archie Panjabi). "He's a Muslim," she replies. "I don't think there's a sliding scale." Clayton can't quite wrap his mind around a special-ops soldier turning terrorist, even as evidence pours in that Samir is behind a series of European bombings, including a deadly attack on a U.S. embassy.
In its well-written first hour, Traitor hops from continent to continent with Nachmanoff, in his directorial debut, nimbly juxtaposing terror-cell intrigue with moments of self-reflection from FBI men and bad guys alike. The screenwriter gives the best lines to the bad guys, including a cell leader (Raad Rawi) who sips expensive wine in French cafés and shakes his head at these foolish Americans. "Once upon a time, it was the Americans who were terrorists against the British," he says. "They've forgotten their history." Beyond such talk, the filmmaker steers clear of present-day politics, never mentioning Bush or Iraq or even the CIA. Instead he focuses on the unruffled procedural professionalism of the FBI agents pursing Samir.
In Europe, those FBI guys (including Neal McDonough as Clayton's partner) are on their game, but they seem to get dumber once they return to America. Realism and insight go out the window as soon as Samir crosses the U.S. border to set in motion one last plot.
Cheadle, who has a gift for playing outsized personalities — such as DJ Petey Greene from last year's Talk to Me, or the hyperactive killer in 1995's great Devil in a Blue Dress — is stiff and self-conscious here, as if it's taking all his concentration to keep Samir's convoluted backstory straight in his head. He isn't helped by the spy-novel goofiness of the terrorist's final plan, which calls to mind a similar scheme propelling Don Siegel's far superior 1977 thriller Telefon, in which a rogue KGB agent travels across America activating deep-cover Soviet operatives. Nachmanoff (and Martin?) has devised a nifty last-minute twist, but he appears to take little pleasure in the telling — almost as if he's embarrassed to be having fun with a subject as serious as terror. Creating an ingenious mad bomber isn't quite the thrill it used to be.

A Full Moon rises and awakens The Wolf Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon emerges from the depths, Frankenstein and his Bride are alive, The Mummy is haunting the pyramids, and Dracula is back from his coffin! Williams Pinball™: Universal Monsters Pack is available now on:
The Monster Bash pinball table was released in July 1998, featuring several classic Universal Monsters forming a rock band. It became one of the highest-rated machines of all time, not surprisingly, as it has a superb layout, mad rules and insanely stackable modes.
Released in 1992, the Creature from the Black Lagoon pinball table got its theme from the classic movie of the same title, a film shot in 3D in the early 1950s. The table is set up as a drive-in cinema typical of the era, with features like a snack bar, a rude driver whose van blocks the screen, and of course the Creature, lurking in his lagoon.
Take on the beautiful mix of pinball wizardry and nostalgia in these classic tables, now available on PlayStation 4 (November 5 in the US store), Xbox One & Windows 10, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Mac. Also available on iOS App Store, and Google Play.

A lot has been said about how data was used to predict the result of the 2012 US election.
A lot has also been made of the Obama campaign's ability to use raw data (and online platforms) to its advantage.
This article, however, is the first time I've seen some real detail on exactly what that data machine looked like and what it achieved.
It's a long piece – and it spends a lot of time looking at the personalities behind the programming – but for some really eye-opening stats skip down to the 'what they actually built' section on page 2.
Some choice facts and figures from there –
- 30,000 Reddit users registered to vote through Obama's site after he did an AMA there
- The campaign used data from DVR boxes (akin to a Sky+ box) to target ads at viewers who had watched certain things, for example the TV debates
- They designed a Twitter tool that could calculate a user's influence, cross-reference it with other data (like if they were in a battleground state) and target DMs accordingly
- Facebook fans were told if friends certain hadn't voted and encouraged to get them to do so
- The campaign created a 'quick donate' function similar to make repeat donations as easy as buying from Amazon or iTunes

Around here, we believe there's no better restaurant recommendation than the one we get from another Disney fan. So, in our quest to provide the very best information about Disney restaurants, we've created the DFB Choice Awards!
Over 500 readers sent in their nominations, and thousands have voted for the top nominees to create this list of Disney Food Blog readers' choice restaurants and food items.
Thanks to all who submitted nominations and voted for the 2010 DFB Choice Awards!
Best Disney Table Service Restaurant — Le Cellier Steakhouse
Le Cellier Steakhouse, in Disney World's Epcot World Showcase, offers great steaks, hearty side dishes, incredible wines, and some top-notch desserts. It comes up time and time again as a favorite of DFB readers, and the place consistently books up 6 months in advance. In 2011, dinner here will be changed to a "signature" meal, meaning it will offer a slightly higher-end menu and cost 2 Disney Dining Plan credits as opposed to the 1 for lunch.
Best Disney Quick-Service Restaurant — Sunshine Seasons
Sunshine Seasons in Disney World's Epcot Future World has two things going for it — great variety and great quality! With stations featuring Asian food, Sandwiches and Bakery, Soup and Salad, Grilled items, and "Grab & Go" items, there's something for everyone. Be sure to try the strawberry shortcake!
Best Disney Snack — Dole Whip
Available in pineapple and vanilla versions (and even orange swirl once in a while!), dole whip non-dairy treats are cool, refreshing, and — even better — low-cal!
You can find dole whips and dole whip floats in three locations in Disney World and in Disneyland's Adventureland.
Best Disney Steakhouse — Le Cellier Steakhouse
Another win for Le Cellier Steakhouse! This time beating out Disney World's Yachtsman Steakhouse and Disneyland's Steakhouse 55 for this title!
Our favorite steak at Le Cellier is the filet with mushroom risotto — a tender cut done extremely well. I've ordered this steak multiple times and have always been pleased. Plus, the mushroom risotto is outstanding (I recommend ordering it as a side if it doesn't come with your meal)!
Best Disney Seafood Restaurant — Flying Fish Cafe
Disney World's Flying Fish Cafe is truly one of my favorite restaurants, so I'm so excited to have this in the list of DFB Choice Award winners!
Featuring seafood dishes that change seasonally (with a specialty of potato-wrapped snapper), innovative side dishes, and some great dishes for land-lubbers like me, the whimsical decor and incredible service of this restaurant makes Flying Fish an all-around winner.
Best Disney Restaurant for Vegetarians — Boma
Always a top-rated Disney World restaurant, Boma, at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, is a buffet with variety that doesn't quit. Dishes inspired by African flavors, spices, and cooking techniques are offered here, giving everyone a little something new to try.
Flavorful, vegetarian items abound on the dinner buffet, including delicious soups, salads, fresh fruit, desserts, and African specialties. The breakfast buffet is just as good! 😉 Book early, though — this one fills up fast!
Best Service in a Disney Table-Service Restaurant — Victoria and Albert's
Disney World's top restaurant (5-diamond rated!) has unmatchable service. At Victoria and Albert's, each table is taken care of by two servers, and the multi-course meal is something you're sure to remember fondly for years. Have something you particularly enjoy? Let your server know; maybe that menu item will be a part of your next course!
Best Kids' Menu at a Disney Restaurant — Chef Mickey's Restaurant
One of the best places to guarantee your little one autographs from Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto, and Goofy, Chef Mickey's Restaurant offers breakfast and dinner buffets (sometimes lunch during busy seasons) with specialty items everyone loves. Pluto's blintzes are a favorite for breakfast and Mickey's cheesy potatoes have had guests asking for the recipe for years. For the kiddos, the buffets offer Mickey waffles, all kinds of cereals, donuts, rice krispy treats, and pizzas — among other kid-food favorites!
Twirl your napkin and cheer along with your favorite Disney characters at Chef Mickey's!
Best Disney Breakfast — Kona Cafe
Found at Disney World's Polynesian Resort, Kona Cafe is a casual dining restaurant that packs a punch for breakfast! Guest favorites like Tonga Toast and the Big Kahuna breakfast bring Polynesian flavors to the table in mouth-watering packages. The best part? This restaurant often doesn't book up too fast, so it's a good bet for a last-minute trip. Don't let that be a guarantee, though — we always recommend making reservations as early as possible.
Best Disney Character Meal — Crystal Palace
Narrowly beating out Chef Mickey's and Tusker House, Crystal Palace in Disney World's Magic Kingdom offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets packed with several guest favorites. The addition of rarely seen 100 Acre Wood friends like Pooh Bear, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore makes this location a true winner! (Try the puffed french toast — it's my favorite!)
Best Eat-While-You-Walk Item — Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar
Mickey Premium Bars are the quintessential Disney experience. A chocolate coated vanilla ice cream bar in the shape of everyone's favorite mouse, these can be found in every Disney theme park and resort! No matter where you are, you're not far from a Mickey Bar! 🙂
Thanks to everyone who voted for making their views known! Hopefully this helps everyone planning trips for 2011 to book restaurants and grab snacks loved by other Disney fans. Looking forward to seeing who wins next year!
Just as a reminder: These nominees and winners were chosen via thousands of votes by Disney Food Blog readers. If your favorite didn't make it into the top spot, don't forget to nominate it again next year!

A video that TMZ alleges is of Beyonce's younger sister having an altercation with the superstar's husband, Jay Z, has surfaced online.
In what the site says is surveillance video from an elevator taken the night of the recent Met Gala in New York, a woman who resembles Solange Knowles enters just before a man who appears to be the rapper. Words seem to be exchanged, and then the woman lunges at and begins striking him before an unidentified man grabs and holds her.
A woman who resembles Beyonce calmly stands in the corner of the elevator during most of the altercation.
It is not yet known what caused the fight.
CNN has reached out to representatives for Solange, Jay Z and Beyonce. Solange's rep is not offering comment.
A representative for The Standard, the hotel where the incident is believed to have occurred, released this statement to HLN:
"We are shocked and disappointed that there was a clear breach of our security system and the confidentiality that we count on providing our guests," the statement said. "We are investigating with the utmost urgency the circumstances surrounding the situation and, as is our customary practice, will discipline and prosecute the individuals involved to our fullest capacity."
Beyonce and Jay Z recently announced their "On the Run" tour, which is scheduled to take them to 16 cities this summer. One fan tweeted, "They better make it to Baltimore first lol" (Baltimore is one of the cities slated for the tour), while another retweeted that and added, "Yo ain't trying miss the show over no damn solange."
The memes also came fast and furious, as well as tweets with the hashtag #WhatJaySaidToSolange.
One featured a picture of Solange and the caption "Solange attacks Jay Z? The first hit she's had in years."
Another used photos of actor Jake Gyllenhaal courtside with Beyonce and Jay Z at a recent basketball game. The caption imagined Beyonce saying to Gyllenhaal "…And then Solange was kicking him and screaming in the elevator" before Jay Z turned to the actor and said in the caption "…And she just stood there," gesturing to Beyonce

Here, in Lusitania (as they sometimes call Portugal), the food is usually rather simple, which definitely does not mean tasteless. The local cuisine puts more stress on the extraction of flavour from a specific, high-quality product, than on the complex marriage of flavours and culinary techniques. Fortunately we don´t lack fresh fish, seafood, good wine or cheese. The Portuguese coffee is excellent as well.
Occasionally you can also find something very tasty in the realm of sugar and eggs. My last discovery is called arrufada (from the Portuguese arrufar for sulk, fuss, get angry). These are sweet buns usually sprinkled with sugar. But do not worry! The buns are not so fussy as their name suggests. I suppose this funny name comes from the little picky eaters. These sweet arrufadas are sometimes the only thing kids want to eat!
In the past these sweet bread rolls were eaten mostly on festivals, fairs and were very popular during Easter. Today you can buy them in almost every bakery in Portugal.
We love to eat fresh sweet bread for breakfast, so I decided to give them a try. It proved to be a very interesting recipe, although my idea of adding some sweetened condensed milk changes a little the "all-Portuguese" original. The crust is nicely browned and very delicate. The crumb is light, sweet, rich in flavour and, of course, as befits a Portuguese roll, intensely yellow. ;)
Arrufadas come from Coimbra, the city famous for its university - one of the oldest in Europe (est. 1288 A.D.). In the South of Portugal the buns are almost always sprinkled with sugar but in the Northern part of the country you can also find some coconut on the top. But most of Portuguese people will call the latter version pão de deus (divine bread). To avoid excessive sweetness I sprinkled my bread rolls with black and white sesame seeds.
Wet ingredients:
50 g (1.75 oz) butter, melted
75 ml (2.5 fl oz) milk, warmed
3 eggs, slightly beaten
200 g or 150 ml (5 fl oz = 2/3 cup) sweetened condensed milk
Dry ingredients:
500 g (17.5 oz) white wheat flour type 65 (you may substitute it with bread flour)
grated peel from 1/2 lemon
25 g (1 oz) light brown sugar
1/3 teaspoon salt
2 and 1/2 teaspoon dried yeast
1 egg, beaten with 3 tablespoons of single cream (10% fat) to brush the top
sugar or white and black sesame seeds to sprinkle
Sift all the dry ingredients. Put in a bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour all the wet ingredients into it. Mix in the bowl and then knead on the counter until you have a smooth and elastic dough. You may do all of this in a bread machine on "Dough" cycle. Cover the dough and leave it to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in volume.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Slightly flatten it with the palms of your hands, form a long roll, and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Form each piece into a roll (here I found an excellent tutorial). Put the rolls seam side down on the baking paper and leave to rise to double in volume again (it takes about 40 min).
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180ºC. Brush the rolls with a mixture of egg and cream and sprinkle with sesame seeds or sugar. Bake until they are golden brown for about 25-30 min.

Report: Howard Kurtz had financial ties to 'Daily Download'
Documents unearthed by Gawker show that Fox News host Howard Kurtz had a much deeper financial relationship with Lauren Ashburn's now defunct "Daily Download" website than he has previously stated.
Kurtz and Ashburn's short videos on "Daily Download" first came under scrutiny last May when Kurtz incorrectly said that gay NBA player Jason Collins had hid the fact he was engaged to a woman. Kurtz was fired from the Daily Beast and left his position as host of CNN's Reliable Sources soon after.
In comments on Reliable Sources and to the Huffington Post, Kurtz said that despite heavily promoting the site, his relationship with "Daily Download" was that of an adviser, an "unpaid honorary position with no oversight," and that he was paid only as a freelancer and had no role with the parent company.
But that's not the case, Gawker reports. In documents they obtained from the Maryland Public Broadcasting Commission, each host of the "Daily Download" was allocated $100,000 in the initial budget and a revised budget showed even more pay (although Gawker says the documents indicate Kurtz intended to donated at least half of it back).
The site, which was funded through the Knight Foundation and other donors, closed down in November when Ashburn said the grant from MPT and the Knight Foundation ended.
(WATCH: Kurtz career highlights)
In their report, Gawker says the "Daily Download's" ultimate purpose was to launch Ashburn's television career. After appearing regularly on television (and frequently on Kurtz's program) to promote "Daily Download," Ashburn followed Kurtz to Fox News where she is now a regular contributor. Kurtz is host of a new media show called "Media Buzz."
"[W]hy would Kurtz dissemble about his actual duties, and Ashburn conceal the amount of money the project received?" Gawker's J.K. Trotter asks. "After all, in the larger scheme of dumb media controversies, running an unsuccessful website is pretty small beer. Lying about it on your own media ethics show, however, is not."

SCENAR: Therapy for Musculoskeletal Pain
By Jeffrey Tucker, DC, DACRB
I work every day with chronic pain clients and I am often not satisfied with the results. I search for educated answers and I look for innovative therapy for clients to improve there problems. This has led me to use many cutting edge modalities early on in my practice, such as being in a multi-disiplinary practice, laser, kettlebells, ropes, suspension training, vibration and percussion, radial shock wave therapy, instrument-assisted soft tissue tools and SCENAR therapy. SCENAR is an acronym for Self Controlled Energo-neuro Adaptive Regulator:
SC = Self-Controlled. The device establishes a biofeedback link with the body and changes the electric impulses, depending on the measured reaction from the body.
EN = Energo-Neuro. The effect of SCENAR is based on electric impulses of a specific shape, patterned after the natural nervous discharges of the human body.
AR = Adaptive Regulator.
SCENAR therapy sends low frequency electrical impulses into the tissues, causing a variety of responses based on the type of electrical wave and frequency settings. Therapeutic outcomes include increased circulation, decreased swelling, decreased pain, increased function and decreased healing time.
My first profound experience with SCENAR therapy occurred in my office with a 56-year-old male who presented with acute neck-shoulder pain related to being rear-ended in a motor vehicle accident. During the history, he neglected to mention he had a chronic shoulder problem for the past five years. While performing the examination, I asked him to "raise both arms over your head" in preparation to do an overhead squat evaluation. He said, "you've got to be kidding!" He was so used to living with only 90 degrees of right shoulder flexion that he forgot to tell me about his shoulder dysfunction. I was overwhelmed when he described all of the previous physical therapy and other treatments trying to resolve the problem without improvement.
My first conscious impulse was that this shoulder problem must not be coming from his neck or shoulder, but then where was it coming from? I am a chiropractic "product" of the late 70's and early 80's. That means I was taught lots of diversified adjusting along with modalities and nutrition. And just like you, I have an immense longing, a hunger, to help patients to get something back that is lost (become pain-free, increase range of motion, a better night's sleep, a more shapely body). I recognized early on that the body has many areas of vulnerability – the lumbar spine, the cervical spine, the shoulders, the knees and the elbows. No matter what area a patient has pain in there is often a kinetic chain effect of muscle/fascial imbalance on movement patterns. I understand pain in one region of the body is likely caused by dysfunction in another region of the body. This can be especially true for neck-shoulder dysfunction. I continued to document and perform my evaluation process with him - including static posture assessments, ROM, ortho- and neuro-testing, functional movement assessments, and fascial, muscle and joint biomechanics.
The obvious findings were Janda's "upper crossed syndrome," characterized by a rounding of the shoulders and a forward head posture. He had ROM limitations in the cervical spine and right shoulder. There was some cervical soft tissue swelling. The Standing Shoulder Flexion Test performed with the head, thoracic spine, buttocks and heels against the wall caused early and excessive low back arching indicative of overactive erector spinae, pectoralis major/minor and latissimus dorsi muscles. To further assess his soft tissue/fascial component and initiate some treatment (the first encounter with this case was on a Friday mid-morning) at the same time, I decided to start with the Self-Controlled Energy Neuro-Adaptive Regulator (SCENAR). I was particularly concerned about this client's acute pain, which is the most common complaint to be dealt with in the SCENAR therapy.
Using the Tool
With my client in the supine position, I used the SCENAR directly on the skin over his entire spine and paraspinal muscles, feeling for fascial restrictions. I detected restrictions over the latissismus dorsi attachments at the thoracolumbar fascia. Repeatedly moving the device over the skin allows the practitioner to release fascial adhesions and improve glide over isolated muscles or within muscle groups. At the same time, the device generates electrical impulses that are physiologically similar to neuro-impulses. The client feels a comfortable "buzzing" sensation over the skin that is set to their tolerance. SCENAR treatments help block the transmission of pain impulses in the nerve endings of the peripheral nerve fibers, and reduction of the edema around the nerve fibers leading to reduction of pressure effects on nerves and vessels. This improves normal tissue viscosity. The body tissues directly influenced by the SCENAR are the skin, the fascia, the muscular system, lymphatic system and the nervous system. The glandular, digestive and bony systems are indirectly influenced by concentrating on acupuncture points.
My second session with this client occurred on Monday (first session was on Friday). The patient said, "I want to show you something," and he lifted his right arm overhead to a full 180 degrees. He added, "I was going to call you over the weekend but I wasn't sure if it was real and going to stick." Here we are months later and the chronic shoulder issue is resolved.
The SCENAR technique is especially useful for covering the entire posterior surface of the back and paraspinals. The variable sensations that the device delivers provides sufficient force to overcome the density of the erector spinae muscles and spinous ligaments and can be applied over the nerve trunks. Although patients usually report feeling relaxed, the device has a stimulating effect upon the nerves. A sensation is conveyed from the site of application on the body that can travel outward for 2-3 inches or further. I find the SCENAR device helps to detect trigger points, altered sensations and painful damaged soft tissue areas.

For many B2B companies, the ability to grow correlates directly with the ability to effectively expand the sales team.
If each member of your team has his own approach to selling your company's products and services, replicating success and scaling your company can be difficult.
In contrast, if all members of the sales team follow a proven, predictable sales process – with appropriate allowances for individual selling styles – it's much easier to scale your sales team more quickly, efficiently and successfully.
Teach new sales reps a proven methodology with a predictable success rate and you'll reduce the ramp to profitability and improve sales rep retention. You'll allow strong reps to find success more quickly; and with sales talent, success begets more success. It also allows you to determine more quickly whether a rep has the ability and desire to be successful. Imagine the cost benefits of knowing whether a new sales rep will succeed within 30-60 days versus the average six months.
Before you can establish a repeatable sales process, complete these four fundamentals.
Identify your ideal clients. Run a report of your most profitable clients over the past two years. What do they have in common? Consider the size of their companies, the most common role/title of your buyers, the predominant industries represented, the combination of products and services purchased, and buyer demographics such as age, gender and educational level.
Determine how to find more of those ideal clients. You must find an ongoing source of "look-a-like leads," which may be purchased lists, leads generated through inbound marketing, or leads generated through trade shows or networking activities. Define the most efficient solution for gathering the volume of leads your growing sales team will need each month to exceed targets.
Identify easily provable benefits for these ideal clients. Have testimonials, client results and case studies ready to prove your benefits deliver.
Document the sales process in place today. How many calls does your sales team need to complete to make contact? How many of those contacts result in a meeting? How many of those meetings result in a proposal? And what is your close rate?
Test one strategy against another to continuously improve performance. Test the performance of one script against another. Test one follow-up approach against another (e.g., email versus handwritten note card). Test the use of one "provable benefit" you mention on your initial call versus another. And by all means, document everything.
With these fundamentals and comparative test results in hand, you're now ready to create your sales playbook – a proven, step-by-step process your sales team will use to most efficiently locate, qualify and ultimately sell the value of what you provide in a systematic way with a predictable outcome.

Buenos dias llevo años usando la pantalla de datos sin la aplicacion, lo que no sé si tiene o no consigo sacar es la cadencia de palada sin tener que usar ningún sensor a parte. hay opción de que de la cadencia con el reloj puesto en la piragua?
Filipe de la Fuente

It looks very good and the several screens are well thought but the main reason I tried it was to register the cadence with an external sensor, and it doesn't show. Always zero. The sensor is detected.

Congratulations on your new Garmin Watch and Sorry you are having an installation issue. This is a data field and after installation Dozen Datafield does not show up in the app list but needs to be installed to the Garmin Row or Kayak app as a Connect IQ data field. If you need further step by step help on installing a data field visit my website or contact me directly. Thanks Brian

30 avril 2020 | Version 4.5
Was able to download this fairly easily and followed the instructions to get the data field to show in my "Kayak" activity. A couple of silly questions because I am new to Garmin and to Kayaking. 1- what is cadence? Is it equivalent to a stroke? 2-I have a Fenix 5 plus, is the Kayak activity the ideal one to use with this data field or would "rowing" or "sup" be better(or does it matter?) 3-what advantages,if any, are there to downloading this developers full app?
Haris Subacius
7 janvier 2020 | Version 4.5
Does everything I need. Nautical speed and distance. Combined with cadence. Now if only garmin would enable cadence in their kayak app. Have to use SUP at the moment.
26 décembre 2019 | Version 4.5
Any one can help me please. I got Fenix 5x an kayaking app dos not count stroke. Haw can I fix this problem. Thank you.

Pair the DozenPaddle datafield with the Paddle Activity App or Rowing and you Will see Cadence. The builtin Kayaking App requires a cadence sensor that is why you are not see any stroke rates. This is a stupid restriction that Garmin imposed on activity type "Kayaking", requiring an external sensor.

I love the setup and want to give it 5 stars but every time I hit the resume later button, my buddy regularly likes to get out and explore so I want to stop the program without having to end it and start a new one, but it crashes my watch every time and when it finishes resetting the data field is gone so it's become pointless sadly.
24 avril 2019 | Version 4.2
I enjoy many apps from this developer (fbbbrown). I tend to favor the datafields over the independent app due to a little more flexibility with pairing other datafields. The only thing I wish this did was add the number of strokes to the summary data in Connect IQ similarly to how steps are added for Dozen Run/Walk. It's not something that I care to know while kayaking, but a nice metric to show how much I actually worked going down a given river.
Manuel Alejandro Mahler
21 décembre 2018 | Version 4.1-upd3
Great app to kayaking. The colors in each range of HR or cadence is an amazing detail. Would be great if we could chose others data like lap time or lap distance in order to do interval training more easily
David Evans
2 mai 2018 | Version 4.1-upd
In several responses the developer says "It is not an app, dozen paddle is a datafield and needs to be added to the ROW or SUP built in app as a single data screen." It would be great if there was an explanation of how to do this somewhere. I have tried to figure it out for an hour and failed miserably.
6 avril 2018 | Version 4.1
I have downloaded the App, but it does not appear on the watch. When I connect with Garmin express, it says the watch, but it does not appear on any menus. I have tried restarting teh watch several times and have removed and re-added the app. Any ideas?
18 mars 2018 | Version 4.1
I am not able see the app on fenix 5s. Am I doing something wrong? I have synced it several times and restarted several times. How do I see the app on the watch?

3 février 2018 | Version 4.0.2-upd
Great app, all the right fields and layout is really good. Definitely recommend this one. Only thing is I can't work out how to set it to use my Fenix 5 itself for cadence rather than an external cadence device, which seems to be the default. I know my watch can do it coz it works for SUP app etc, but CAD is always 0 on the Dozen Kayak Field. Pretty frustrating..
Nick Papa
29 novembre 2017 | Version 4.0.1-upd
Awesome, but having an issue with the data fields showing as they do in the reference pictures. I don't get any of the AHR, HR, Speed, average speed, ET, CAD, etc. I have a Forerunner 920xt
17 octobre 2017 | Version 4.0.1
Everything's ok, but Cadence=0 on my Quatix5. I think my watch has the cadence sensor. Paddle sensor works on SUP standard datascreen but not in this one.

Wladimir Klitschko KNOCKOUT SHOCKER: Fres Oquendo Ready to Put Champ on Blast – Boxing News
"No one deserves the Klitschko fight more than me," says long-time heavyweight contender Fres Oquendo.
WBA #5 and WBA #12-rated Oquendo (35-7, 23 KOs) can make a strong case for being the next to face WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko on April 6 in Hanover, Germany.
"I'm seeing these newcomer kids talking about how they deserve to fight Klitschko. I haven't lost a fight legitimately since 2006. In 2003, I had a world-title fight and lost an outrageous robbery against Chris Byrd. Byrd went on to lose the title that I should have won that night to Wladimir. So, if they hadn't stolen my title from me that night, I would have already had a fight against Wladimir! Me getting the fight against Wladimir is boxing karma making things right."
39-year-old Oquendo, who began his career in 1997, has won countless regional titles and is still stopping the opponents he's supposed to stop. He took out capable veterans Robert Hawkins and Joey Abell in his two latest appearances.
"I'm still as sharp as I've ever been and I know how to get to Wladimir. I've been trying to get him in the ring for years because I see what you need to do to beat him. Plus, if you put my resume next to anybody else's that they're talking about it's like a joke. Nobody else deserves this fight as much as I do. So let's get it done, call my promoter, Bobby Hitz, so I can start training to go over there and kick his ass."

Alfonso, it is incredibly clever and ingenious!!!
Amazing, it works. Very Clever.
Finally! I can now beat the cody problem that wants me to play on the weekend. Smart and subversive. My new favorite cody problem.
If I had read 3) more carefully, I would not have used to solve the Rubik's Cube problem like I did. My apologies.
Freepass functionality has not been working for the past few weeks due to a change in the underlying Cody machinery. The fix to get freepasses working again is very simple but I am hesitant whether I should take this change in Cody machinery as a sign from above and let this problem quietly expire. If you believe freepasses are useful please let me know in the comments, and if you believe they interfere too much with the normal Cody balance and I should let this functionality expire please let me know as well. Other thoughts/suggestions are also welcome (I could implement a maximum number of freepasses per user per week, for example, if that would help avoid abuses)
I would prefer that it be kept up, if possible, with a limiter, like you mentioned, of one or two per user per week. The reasoning is there are many problems on Cody which can no longer be solved (some older ones, due to Matlab or Cody upgrades) or which were never solvable without hacking due to poorly written test suites. Since these problems typically aren't removed from Cody, newer players shouldn't be handicapped by never being able to solve all posted problems.
Can you get this working on the Simulink problems? :-)
just an update: it would seem that Cody has now perhaps between 30 and 50 nodes/servers instead of the old ~5 nodes running Cody solutions. This just means that you need more patience/persistence to get a freepass. The recommended "optimal" balance would now be to send ~7 correct solutions to this problem, and then submit freepass.please solutions to your secondary problem until you hit the right server and get a passing grade (on average you would need another ~7 freepass.please submissions until you hit the right server). I will update this post if I get a better estimate on the actual number of servers running cody solutions
Cody has had some improvements recently, and it appears that this no longer works. The function will sometimes return successfully, but I can't get more than four in a row. The error description is: "No public property version exists for class cody.verifyCode." Is this problem now dead, or can it be revived, perhaps with a maximum per user per time period as mentioned in other comments here?
And, better yet, I now get that cody.verifyCode class error randomly when trying to solve other problems.
Hi Grant. Many users reported cody.verifyCode problems in comments. In the last couple of days I've got it about 10% of the submissions. I guess it's independent from free pass problem.
@Grant/Jan. This could still be related so just to play it safe I am temporally taking this problem down until I can have it fixed/updated
does this hack still work?
Nice one
this problem is working again
This problem no longer works. Not sure why though.
Cody no longer allows freepass.please as a solution.

Calendar view of Milestones and Tickets
Macro for the Trac Wiki Ticketing system to display Milestones and Tickets in a calendar view.
This Macro is hosted here
20091029 google calendar style update
Bugs/Feature Requests
Existing bugs and feature requests for WikiTicketCalendarMacro are here.
If you have any issues, create a new ticket.
Can someone please add some installation instructions that work with 11.5? What is the location where the macro must be copied to could be a good start. I copied it to plugin directories. No indication anywhere where the wiki-macros location is in 11.5.
See For Trac 0.11 section in the Installation section bellow -- jay.w.xie at gmail.com
Port to Trac 0.11.1
Hi there, I ported this macro to work with version 0.11.1 along the lines of WikiCalendarMacro. Unfortunately I'm familiar with java, php or c but didn't do any python coding yet. It's up and running on my production system for about a week and I didn't experience any problems yet ... but that doesn't count much. If anyone could do a little quality assurance, I would be very thankful.
Thanks in advance.
Greets, Alex (alex [at] goldstift [dot] de)
For Trac 0.10 and before
Simply download the attached WikiTicketCalendarMacro.py at the end of this page to your projects "wiki-macros"-folder and reload your webserver.
For Trac 0.11
This macro should also be copied into the "plugins" folder, so download the attached WikiTicketCalendarMacro.py at the end of this page there. Then enable it in trac.ini or the "Manage Plugins" page under the "Admin" tab.
Afterwards you should be able to use the macro in your wiki
Excerpt of the source documentation:
Activate it in 'trac.ini' [components] WikiTicketCalendarMacro.* = enabled format: WikiTicketCalendar([year,month,[showbuttons,[wiki_page_format]]]) displays a calendar, the days link to: - milestones (day in bold) if there is one on that day - a wiki page that has wiki_page_format (if exist) - create that wiki page if it does not exist arguments: year, month = display calendar for month in year ('*' for current year/month) showbuttons = true/false, show prev/next buttons wiki_page_format = strftime format for wiki pages to display as link (if there is not a milestone placed on that day) (if exist, otherwise link to create page) default is "%Y-%m-%d", '*' for default examples: WikiTicketCalendar(2006,07) WikiTicketCalendar(2006,07,false) WikiTicketCalendar(*,*,true,Meeting-%Y-%m-%d) WikiTicketCalendar(2006,07,false,Meeting-%Y-%m-%d)
To fix encoding problems for e.g. german users add the following code to the script:
import locale def expand_macro(self, formatter, name, arguments): loc = locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL) locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, 'english') . . . locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, loc) return Markup(table)
If you want to use one of the latest patches be sure to fix the daylight saving problem and change:
duedatestamp = time.mktime((year, month, day, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1)) duedatestamp_eod = time.mktime((year, month, day, 23, 59, 0, 0, 0, -1)) to duedatestamp = time.mktime((year, month, day, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)) duedatestamp_eod = time.mktime((year, month, day, 23, 59, 0, 0, 0, 0))
I can not offer any patch here because the maximum count of external links is reached for this ticket.

Purim is over! Put away the masks and take an aspirin if necessary: it's time to prepare for Passover!
Passover in 2015 begins at sundown on Friday, April 3. That's the "first night" or "first seder."
Note: In this blog, I assume that my main audience are beginners: people who did not for whatever reason get a Jewish education as children and who are looking to engage with Jewish life as adults. If you are looking for directions for keeping a frum house for Pesach this blog is not for you. However, if you are not sure what "frum" and "Pesach" are, you are in the right place (and you can click the links to find out what those words mean.)
1. WHERE WILL YOU BE FOR SEDER? Traditionally, Jews attend at least one Passover seder every year during which we tell the story of the Exodus and make it fresh again. So, if you do not yet have plans for attending a seder, it's time to seek one out. If this will be your first seder, do not try to host it. Check with your rabbi or synagogue office: who has a place at the table for you? If you have a mentor or Jewish friends, you can ask them, too. There may be a communal seder you can join for a fee, but be aware: tickets sell out, so call early! If you will be a guest at the seder table, here is an article about that. If this is not your first Passover, and you are going to host your first seder, here is an article for you.
2. GET RID OF YOUR CHAMETZ! Cleaning for Passover is the main way we prepare for the holiday, and it is a part of the experience of the season. We have to get rid of all our chametz. Chametz is any product with wheat, oats, spelt, barley, or rye that might at some point have gotten wet and swelled. We deal with the "might have gotten wet" part by just getting rid of all products containing those five grains. For instructions on cleaning for Passover, read Cleaning for Passover: Begin in Egypt.
3. SHOP FOR MATZAH: One of the names for Passover is Chag HaMatzot, the holiday of Matzah. We eat matzah during Passover. If you don't particularly like matzah, you can fulfill the obligation by eating it at the seder, but if you want to have some at home, it's a good idea to grab a box before they sell out. You can learn more in this article: Passover Shopping Tips.
Some readers may be thinking, gee, party planning, housekeeping, and shopping: is this any way to prepare for a holy festival? Passover is the quintessential Jewish holiday, because the spiritual part is hidden within seemingly mundane tasks. Over the four weeks between now and Passover, I'm going to use this blog to uncover some of the spiritual growth possibilities hidden in those to-do lists.
In the meantime, trust the process! Prepare for Passover! And let's see where we are when the moon is full again.

Central African Republic: Security Council reinforces UN office, backs African Union peacekeeping role
Unanimously adopting a new resolution, the Council adjusted the mandate of the UN Integrated Peacebuilding Office (BINUCA) in the five key areas: support for implementation of the transition process; support for conflict prevention and humanitarian assistance; support for stabilisation of the security situation; promotion and protection of human rights; and coordination of international actors.
The 6-page text also welcomed the decision of the African Union to authorize the deployment of an "African-led International Support Mission in the CAR" to be referred to as MISCA, and looked forward to its swift establishment, "which will represent a major contribution towards creating the conditions for a stable and democratic CAR exercising authority over its national territory and assuming its responsibility for the protection of its civilian population."
The members urged Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to submit within 30 days, in close cooperation with the AU and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), a written report on the planning of MISCA.
The plan is to include a possible option of transforming the AU Mission into a UN peacekeeping operation "subject to appropriate conditions on the ground."
The 15-member Council also urged "the holding of free, fair and transparent presidential and legislative elections" to be held within 18 months after the beginning of the transition period which took effect on the 18 August.
The Council tasked BINUCA to work with all parties to facilitate the full implementation of the Libreville Agreement - signed in the Gabonese capital of Libreville on 11 January - as part of its mandate to help consolidate peace in CAR, including support for security reform and reintegration of ex-combatants.
It also expressed readiness to consider "appropriate measures" against those who undermine peace, stability and security, impede the political transition and fuel violence.
Plagued by decades of instability and fighting, the CAR witnessed a resumption of violence last December when the Séléka rebel coalition launched a series of attacks. A peace agreement was reached in January, but the rebels again seized the capital, Bangui, in March, forcing President François Bozizé to flee.
There is now a transitional government, headed by Prime Minister Nicolas Tiangaye, entrusted with restoring law and order and paving the way for democratic elections. But armed clashes in the north-east have increased since the beginning of August, and the country is facing a dire humanitarian situation that affects the entire population of some 4.6 million.
In addition, there are continued reports of gross human rights violations, committed by the Séléka coalition and the Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), including the deliberate killing of civilians, acts of sexual violence against women and children, and the destruction and looting of property, including hospitals, schools and churches.
In this latest resolution, the Security Council members stressed that the Séléka and the LRA, as well as other perpetrators of these attacks "shall be brought to justice."
They demanded "safe and unhindered access and the timely delivery" of humanitarian aid to persons in need, and an end to the recruitment of children.
The Council also called all the groups to issue clear orders against sexual violence, and to investigate and hold the perpetrators accountable.
The resolution also reiterated the Council's condemnation of the devastation of natural heritage, noting in particular that poaching and trafficking of wildlife are among the factors that fuel the crisis in the country.

Next year's Social Security raise? Less than $4 a month
WASHINGTON — Millions of Social Security recipients and federal retirees will get a 0.3 percent increase in monthly benefits next year, the fifth year in a row that older Americans will have to settle for historically low raises.
There was no increase this year. Next year's benefit hike will be small because inflation is low, driven in part by lower fuel prices.
The federal government announced the cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, Tuesday morning. By law, the COLA is based on a government measure of consumer prices.
The COLA affects more than 70 million people — about 1 in 5 Americans.
The average monthly Social Security payment is $1,238. That translates into a monthly increase of less than $4 a month.
More bad news for seniors: Medicare Part B premiums, which are usually deducted from Social Security payments, are expected to increase next year to the point in which they will probably wipe out the entire COLA.
By law, the dollar increase in Medicare's Part B premium cannot exceed a beneficiary's cost-of-living raise. That's known as the "hold harmless" provision, and it protects the majority of Medicare recipients.
But another federal law says that the Part B premium must raise enough money to cover one-fourth of expected spending on doctors' services. That means that a minority of beneficiaries, including new enrollees and higher-income people, have to shoulder the full increase. Their premiums would jump.
Millicent Graves, a retired veterinary technician, says Medicare and supplemental insurance premiums eat up nearly a third of her $929 monthly Social Security payment. And don't tell the 72-year-old from Williamsburg, Virginia, that consumer prices aren't going up. She says her insurance premiums went up by $46.50 this year, and her cable TV, Internet and phone bill went up, too.
"I just lose and lose and lose and lose," Graves said.
More than 60 million retirees, disabled workers, spouses and children get Social Security benefits. The COLA also affects benefits for about 4 million disabled veterans, 2.5 million federal retirees and their survivors, and more than 8 million people who get Supplemental Security Income, the disability program for the poor. Many people who get SSI also receive Social Security.
Since 2008, the COLA has been above 2 percent only once, in 2011. It's been zero three times.
"This loss of anticipated retirement income compounds every year, causing people to spend through retirement savings far more quickly than planned," said Mary Johnson of the Senior Citizens League. "Over the course of a 25- or 30-year retirement, it reduces anticipated Social Security income by tens of thousands of dollars."
By law, the cost-of-living adjustment is based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W, a broad measure of consumer prices generated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It measures price changes for food, housing, clothing, transportation, energy, medical care, recreation and education.
The COLA is calculated using the average CPI-W for July, August and September. If prices go up, benefits go up. If prices drop or stay flat, benefits stay the same.
The numbers for July and August suggest COLA of just 0.3 percent. The numbers for September are to be released Tuesday.
Some advocates complain that the government's measure of inflation doesn't reflect the costs many older Americans face.
For example, gasoline prices have fallen by nearly 18 percent over the past year, according to the August inflation report, while the cost of medical care has gone up by more than 5 percent.
For seniors who don't drive much, they don't get the full benefit of low gas prices, said Max Gulker, a senior research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research. Many seniors, however, spend more of their income on health care.
Graves said she appreciates lower gas prices, but she doesn't drive much.
"I just have to rely more each month on cashing in investments," Graves said. "I'm lucky I can do that."
