Telstra has published a post on its exchange blog, noticed by Ausdroid, hinting that the telco may launch Motorola's Atrix Android smartphone in Australia.
Check out our guide to the best upcoming tablets in 2011 and the best upcoming smartphones in 2011.
Titled "Coming to a (small) screen near you: The year ahead in mobile tech", the blog by Telstra's Executive Director of mobile products Warwick Bray specifically mentions the Motorola Atrix, which can be teamed with an all-in-one keyboard and 11-inch screen accessory that transforms the phone into a full laptop. The Atrix laptop dock runs by tapping the phone's processor, memory and mobile Internet connection.
The Motorola Atrix was first announced at CES 2011 and is an Android smartphone equipped with a dual-core processor that runs Android 2.2, has a full HTML 5 browser, and supports HD video. Along with a 1GHz dual-core processor, the Atrix also has 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a "gHD" display, a fingerprint reader, and a 1930-mAh battery.
Along with the Atrix, Bray also expects smartphones running dual core processors, and bigger, brighter screens, and a new range of tablets with screens ranging from seven to 11 inches. "We saw some very impressive Next G compatible tablets running upcoming Google Android software. Watch this space."

*Check out this week's Game Notes
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – After taking second place in the Samford Tournament this past weekend and earning three spots on the All-Tournament team, the TTU women's soccer team is back in action in Cookeville and ready for a Wednesday afternoon game against WAC opponent Louisiana Tech.
Coming off a split of games on the weekend -- defeating the Georgia Southern Eagles on Friday and falling to the Samford Bulldogs on Sunday -- the Golden Eagles face another team of Bulldogs in Louisiana Tech, who are 6-2 in 2010.
The Golden Eagles are perfect at home for the 2010 season, having defeated UNC-Asheville in their home opener on Sept. 5 in front of a record-setting crowd. They look to continue defending their home turf against LA Tech Wednesday in a game that will post as the first matchup between the two teams.
Another trend began to surface with the Asheville game. Sophomore Kris Cambron netted her first goal of the season against UNCA and also started the scoring for Tech in the game against Georgia Southern. Cambron has therefore scored goals in each Golden Eagle win during this still brief season. The Golden Eagles will look to the returning OVC Co-Freshman of the Year from 2009 to jumpstart their offense yet again against Louisiana Tech.
Prepped to face a challenging schedule in the WAC, where they will go up against teams such as Boise State, Fresno State and San Jose State, the Bulldogs will surely bring an intense and competitive atmosphere to Tech.
"We're looking forward to the challenge that Louisiana Tech will bring to Cookeville," said head coach Daniel Brizard. "They're using a tough non-conference schedule to prepare for the WAC, taking on teams like Arkansas State in the Sun Belt, Texas State in the Southland, and three teams from the OVC in Murray, Jacksonville State and us.
"Louisiana Tech has already proven to have a solid offense that will test our defensive line, so our defense is really going to need to come together in the backfield early on to keep them from building an attack."
Students attending the game are encouraged to come in large groups, ready to show their support the team. The best dressed group with the most signs and swag will receive a special prize to be determined by the soccer team. Extra consideration will be given to the group that is the loudest on game day!
Fans who are unable to make it to Cookeville for Wednesday's game can follow the LiveStats here.

March 5, 2002
Santa Barbara, Calif. - After giving up three runs in the first two innings against Cal Poly, it looked like it was going to be another frustrating outing for UCSB starter James Garcia. But, the senior from Torrance, returned to All-American form pitching shutout ball from the third inning on to pick up his first win on the season, in a 11-4 victory over the Mustangs in a non-conference game at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium.
The Gauchos, who improve to 11-9 scored in seven of the eight innings they batted in.
Cal Poly, who falls to 9-15-1, were only able to muster up five hits as a team and were held scoreless for six innings until scoring a run in the ninth.
Right fielder Kevin Miller hit his first home run as a Gaucho, a two-run blast down the right field line, to tie the game up at 3-3 in the second inning.
Ryan Spilborghs hit his eighth homer of the year, jumping on the first pitch in the bottom of the third, served up by losing pitcher Greg Bochy (2-3), to give the Gauchos a 4-3 lead in the third inning.
Center fielder Andy Campanella felt left out of the outfield home run derby, so he decided to hit his second home run on the year, a solo bomb launched over the wall in left field, giving the Gauchos a 5-3 lead in the fourth inning.
The Gauchos would go on to pad their lead by scoring two runs apiece in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings to lead 11-3.
Cal Poly scored a run in the ninth off Mike Sutherland, who came in to replace Garcia in the eighth, to make the final score 11-4.
Garcia, who went 10-4 earning All-American honors in 2001, had yet to find his groove in 2002. But Garcia, who went seven innings giving up only three hits, walking two while striking out two batters, has now only given up three runs in his last three outings. Garcia pitched two shutout innings in the two previous UCSB games.
Three Gauchos, Spilborghs, Josh McCanne and Matt Wilkerson had two hits on the day.
Cal Poly was lead offensively by Jason Barringer, who smacked his second homer of the year and also hit a double, to go 2-for-4 with three RBI on the day.
The Gauchos will now take the weekend off to prepare for the Pepsi Johnny Quik Classic, hosted by Fresno State from March 11-16 at Beiden Field, in Fresno. The Gauchos first opponent will be Illinois State in a 10:00 a.m. match-up on Monday March 11.

The recently failed back-and-forth struggle by both political parties to reach a real compromise over the contentious sequestration has masked another looming subject that may prove to be just as controversial: Raising the minimum wage.
The recently failed back-and-forth struggle by both political parties to reach a real compromise over the contentious sequestration has masked another looming subject that may prove to be just as controversial: Raising the minimum wage.
In his State of the Union address, President Obama pledged to boost the minimum wage from its current rate of $7.25 an hour to $9 an hour, which is an admirable goal. How much the proposed increase in wages will help these low-paid workers is open to debate, however.
The federal minimum wage provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act requires employers to pay their employees the established rate, but it does not require them to hire more workers — let alone keep their existing ones when the threshold increases.
When wages rise, so does the cost of doing business. Most companies that pay workers minimum wage are in very competitive industries and are not able to raise their prices because competitors both here and abroad will undercut them. An increase in the minimum wage can actually decrease employment for the very workers it is supposed to help because it may result in reduced hours or layoffs so companies can maintain costs and remain competitive in the marketplace.
A recent study by Ohio University professors Richard Vedder and Lowell Gallaway found that an increase in the minimum wage has little to no effect on reducing poverty. In fact, most estimate that a 10 percent increase in the minimum wage reduces employment among low-wage earners by about 2 percent.
Therefore, Vedder and Galloway conclude that an increase in the minimum wage is disproportionately responsible for people living close to or below the poverty line losing their jobs. As a result, low-income workers become financially worse off than they were before an increase in the minimum wage occurred.
Another interesting fact about the minimum wage is that most of those earning it have part-time jobs. They are often teenagers or college students. The impact of an increase in the minimum wage for these part-time workers often results in a reduction in the number of hours they are allowed to work.
The vast majority of these part-time workers are not members of families living in poverty. Rather, they hold these part-time jobs to pay college tuition and earn extra spending money,
Of course there are economists who suggest that an increase in the minimum wage on low-income workers is a good policy. The fact that economists disagree is nothing new. It suggests why President Harry Truman once asked his staff to find him a one-armed economist because he was tired of hearing his economists say "on the one hand this will be the outcome in a particular policy change and on the other hand the opposite might occur."
Those economists who believe that an increase in the minimum wage can be helpful suggest that raising the minimum wage for people earning $7.20 an hour may not be the most efficient thing to do, but at least it helps redistribute income to those most in need.
This equity argument holds some validity because increases in the minimum wage may lead to price increases that are paid by a large portion of the general public. Those increases in prices are then passed on to minimum wage workers in terms of higher wages. The redistribution of income in this fashion may indeed have a short-term and positive effect on low-income wage earners.
Texas A&M economists Jonathan Meer and his assistant Jeremy West believe the effect will be negative because it may lead to slower economic growth. Their study found that it takes time to fire less productive workers — who oftentimes are earning minimum wage — because it is unpleasant and for other reasons.
Hence the immediate impact of an increase in the minimum wage is minimized. In the long run, though, the study demonstrates that there is a diminished tendency of firms to hire new workers after an increase in the minimum wage takes place. This in turn discourages economic growth, particularly among companies and organizations that hire relatively large numbers of minimum wage earners.
All of this seems to suggest that the policy of raising the minimum wage, while done for understandable and altruistic reasons, is often counterproductive. It hurts those it intends to help.
Minimum wage increases seem not to hold a candle to longer-range and more thoughtful approaches to growing the economy. In the long run, policies that promote economic growth have the greatest positive effect on workers at all income levels.

Synovial fluid analysis is a group of tests that examine joint (synovial) fluid. The tests help diagnose and treat joint-related problems.
Alternative Names
Joint fluid analysis; Joint fluid aspiration
How the test is performed
A sample of synovial fluid is needed for this test. Synovial fluid is normally a thick, straw-colored liquid found in small amounts in joints, bursae (fluid-filled sacs in the joints), and tendon sheaths.
After the joint area is cleaned, the health care provider inserts a sterile needle through the skin and into the joint space. Fluid is then drawn throughthe needleinto a sterile syringe.
The fluid sample is sent to the laboratory. The laboratory technician:
- Checks the samples color and clarity
- Placesthe sampleunder a microscope, counts the number of red and white blood cells, and looks for crystals (in the case of gout) or bacteria
- Measures glucose, proteins, uric acid, and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)
- Cultures the fluid to see if any bacteria grow
How to prepare for the test
Normally, no special preparation is needed. Tell your health care provider if you are taking a blood thinner, such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin) or clopidogrel (Plavix). These medicines can affect test results or your ability to take the test.
How the test will feel
Sometimes, the health care provider will first inject numbing medicine into the skin with a small needle, which will sting. A larger needle is then used to draw out the synovial fluid.
This test may also cause some pain if the tip of the needle touches bone. The procedure usually lasts less than 1 to 2 minutes.
Why the test is performed
The test can help diagnose the cause of pain, redness, or swelling in joints.
Sometimes, removing the fluid can also help relieve joint pain.
This test may be used when your doctor suspects:
- Bleeding in the joint after a joint injury
Goutand other types of arthritis
- Infection in a joint
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal joint fluid may look cloudy or abnormally thick.
Blood in the joint fluid may be a sign of injury inside the joint or a body-wide bleeding problem. An excess amount of normal synovial fluid can also be a sign of osteoarthritis or cartilage injury.
- Infection of the joint -- unusual but more common with repeated aspirations
- Bleeding into the joint space
Ice or cold packs may be applied to the joint for 24 to 36 hours after the test to reduce the swelling and

Early Admissions Program
High school students who are able to take classes on Thomas More's campus may register in the Early Admissions Program (EAP).
Dual Credit
Thomas More College offers two faculty options for secondary schools that participate in Gemini. Typically, a member of the high school's faculty who meets the criteria set by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools will teach the course, sometimes in an Honors or Advanced Placement format. These faculty members must have a minimum of either a Masters Degree in the subject taught, or a Masters Degree in a related field with 18 graduate semester hours in the subject taught.
Gemini faculty members will work with the appropriate department chairs at Thomas More College, just as adjunct instructors on campus do. At a minimum, the syllabus and textbook must be approved by the appropriate department chairperson. All chairpersons are willing to support Gemini faculty and are prepared to work with them in sharing the college's expectations for course content, grading criteria and examination strategies.
In certain situations, a TMC faculty member will teach a TMC course on the high school campus. This is dependent on factors such as location and scheduling.

Hey its just a theory I am throwing out there, not original I know. Just saying that so far in the series there has been nothing concrete to disprove that its possible. Thus I am starting to wonder if it is supposed to be that way, the ambiguity I mean.
Whatever is going on I hope for all our sakes its impressive and enjoyable

Personally, I find the coma theory unlikely since it requires them all to be somehow connected somehow.
Anyway, know for some thoughts and speculation about this episode.
First off, Iwasawa's memories and everybody's past lives. It seems that Iwasawa didn't have a happy life either, and the way she talks about it, it's seems likely that everybody there had a craptastic life. Which offers an insight as to the real reason they're fighting. As the guy notes, 'it's not that they're afraid of reincarnating as something bad, it's more that they're protesting the unfairness of life.' In other words, something like a grudge/anger against the god who allowed this all to happen.
Next, Iwasawa's disappearance. Going back to my previous point, if the reason they are in that world is due to their anger, perhaps the loss of that anger takes them out. Or in another way, everybody their is asking themselves something like 'For what reason was I born? Why did I suffer through all that?' The seemingly lack of a reason is the source of their anger. But once they find an answer, they're at peace and can 'move on', so to speak.
Lastly, about their discovery about Tenshi. The very first thought that ran through my mind was 'if her powers come the through the same methods as theirs, then doesn't that mean she was originally a human too?' The actions of Tenshi and the NPC's were interesting as well, as they don't seem like simple automatons programmed to act in a certain manner. I wasn't expecting Tenshi's 'this almost makes me look like the villain' because it shows that she is capable of self-thought and not just a type of emotionless terminator machine. Yuri's comment that 'if that means there is no god... then this would be the worst case scenario' is interesting. I suppose it's because due to the harshness of their lives, they want to believe that there was at least some reason they suffered, and they want to find out what that reason is. If there was no god, then that would mean that the pain they went through was literally 'meaningless'.

Asking for opinions on this, but did anyone else think that as Tenshi was turning away from the owner-less guitar at the end, that she looked rather sad? That was another moment that intrigued me towards the end. I guess it is a little fast so try pausing if it helps, could just be a trick of the frames i guess.

Mmmm, really good episode. Production value is still top-notch and the performance scene was better than the one in the first episode, especially Irie rocking those drums. Alchemy is a great song too.
I like Yui a lot, the show was missing a cute and hyperactive character like her.
Iwasawa's final scene was nicely done, though not very sad because her character didn't get development other than the backstory. Now she is in a better place (????)
And Yusa got more screentime too . For some reason I really dig her character, my favorite after Tenshi.
And finally, the revelations about Tenshi's skills and how she acquires them. Very informative.

Disappointing as it is, the premise does seem to lean toward the coma/near-death hypothesis now. The heartbeat animation might very well be the first beat at the start of their successful "revival"/recovery or, the last, at the moment where their lingering wishes are satiated in this world, the moment where their lives end.
Angel might have been there the longest. Maybe something really horrendous had happened to her while she was alive that she has no hope of resolving it, so she simply chose to stay and be a guide for others. Her secluded attitude might have come from the numerous partings that she had gone through.
One by one members in the ending song will disappear. If we are lucky enough to get a happy end, or a not so happy one, perhaps there will be a similar sequence with the full cast in the end, with Angel too.
...Bah. If this were a VN I'd have the option of downing it all in one go. These tiny weekly bites is torture that can only be enjoyed by a masochist. =[

I'm just curious to how did everyone come to a conclusion that attacking Tenshi was the how things should be done
So far we are expected to take everything Yuri says as truth (and we are probably expected to doubt that)
My theory is Tenshi helped some people pass on to the next life (or revive) and everyone went into a major misunderstanding over that

I may be wrong about this, but this episode left me with a certain question...
That list they saw had everyone's names on it, right? And Otonashi only remembers his last name, as far as I know, so why didn't he try to check it? His name might have helped jog his memory.

I can't really say Iwasawa's "redemption" (for a lack of more appropriate term) struck me like a hammer and got me crying in a corner or anything, but for a scene based on one episode of buildup (with plot stuff mashed inbetween) I thought it set up a pretty well-done atmosphere. Though it's gonna suck for Yuri if every week we see somebody ditching her like this.
Also, Yui is reminding me of Fuuko for some reason.
And speaking of the teachers... is this the first time they're actually shown on-screen?

I personally thought the episode was pretty great, but I can't believe they did away with Iwasawa so soon after that incredible live concert that she was doing too.
I guess next episode they will explain what it was that she accepted and why she disappeared, because Otonashi notes that its apparent that living a normal school life isn't the only way for one to go.
The real question is... who's taking over Girl Dead Monster or are we looking at a possible resurrection here, since Girl Dead Monster has far more than just two singles scheduled. Iwasawa was the heart of that... I can't imagine anyone taking over.

The classic themes of "Fighting againt fate/destiny" that is so prevalent in Key's and Maeda's work makes itself very much present here, what with the close similarities between Iwasawa and Yuri's past lives. It is again one of human struggles against the forces of nature that seem too powerful for them, presented in a more humorous and offbeat sort of way, somewhat different than the usual stuff I've grown accustomed to from them.
The Haibane Renmei similarities to Iwasawa's disappearance is actually rather interesting. The most obvious conclusion to it was that it can be seen as a good thing to her own self-realization. Again the "finding yourself" idea is presented with the previous allusions to a purgatory state of existence. That is, while the deepest mystery is what happens when you do go away, the only accepted ways to do so is either to conform or to be "enlightened" so to speak. It would seem that you could either go with the flow or achieve or sort of "heightened" state of consciousness about yourself that leads to your "ascension" of sorts. Of course you could argue that it may not be ascending to heaven or some such, but you can't deny the possibility that another system is at work quite different from what the SSS believes. It might be probable that Tenshi herself knows what happened to Iwasawa, or at least the nature of such an event.
Given what happened to Iwasawa and what they learned about Tenshi, it seems likely that Yuri/SSS has got a lot of things wrong about the nature of their plane of existence, the concept of God and who Tenshi really is. The mere fact that Iwasawa's fate runs counter to what they perceive is the governing law of the world and to what the SSS is fighting for seems to hint that perhaps neither Tenshi nor Yuri fully understand the system at all.
At this point these are probably at the core of the plot itself: the nature of this "ascension" (similar in ways to Haibane Renmei's Day of Flight), the role of the SSS in all of this and Tenshi function in the world.
Despite my opinion that the comedy tends to get overblown at points and overpowers the plot and tension somewhat, it's very tight and solid writing from Maeda.

But the cut of unfunny jokes make it looked little better...
Seriously i'm not feel anything with Iwasawa death (or anything)... and not to mention her death supposed to be memorable i believe... Well at least i"m curious on topic Yuri said in the end...

I thought that the episode was very strong, but then I haven't seen any of the other Key works people keep mentioning; given their popularity though I'm willing to believe that this may be a step down.
I thought that Iwasawa's story was moving and thoughtful, although I felt it would have been even better if we'd had a little more opportunity to get to know her. Given the abruptness of that it's hard to believe that this really will be the very last that we see of her. If it is, though, she went out with a bang on a beautiful song..

Nice concert scenes in this episode once again. A bit disappointed that Iwasawa is the first one to go...
Lots of Haibane Renmei similarities indeed. It seems clear now that Tenshi isn't a bad guy, I guess she wants to help people attain peace/happiness so they can move on. This place seems more like a purgatory than anything. The question is: is Tenshi really an Angel? It's very odd that she had to create her guard skill by herself... maybe she's just an uptight class president
I'm wondering if the members of the SSS will be able to create their own special skills now that they had access to Tenshi's data. I doubt it, since Tenshi wouldn't remain much of a threat if they do.
I'm starting to find very odd the fact that Otonashi has no memories of his past life. It doesn't seem like anyone else is in the same case so far. We'll have to wait and see, but there is obviously something more to him (well duh, he's the MC).
Edit: oh and did anyone notice the City hunter reference? There was even a bit of the music playing ! I like TK even more now.

I don't remember when the last time I went from "hmm... what the heck is this about?" after ep2 to "aaah, so THAT'S how it is" in ep3 so much. But there have been several big-deal revelations in this last ep, and I feel like making several predictions even up to the final climax and ending. How's that for hubris?
What this afterlife is about: Obviously, it is about people who carry over some major grudge or unresolved issue like an unfulfilled wish. As long as you haven't dealt with this, you cannot pass on.
Is "being erased" a bad thing? No. It's rather the opposite, it means that you have finally resolved your issue, and you can finally "pass on". How do we know? Because we saw it happen with Iwasawa. And she went out and disappeared in her moment of completion and happiness. She finally found what she was looking for. She was finally able to sing the song she always wanted and even Yuri denied her in the beginning. It was no sad death, it was a _happy passing_.
How does Angel fit into this? This is the twist I liked the most. I'm pretty sure that Angel doesn't "work for god". She is just like Yuri and the others. Obviously she was Seitokaichou in her former life, and she feels that she failed. She's in this afterlife to atone, just like Yuri is in this afterlife to rebel and exact revenge. Evidence for it: Yuri's revelation that Angel is progressing just like she and her band of merrymen are.
But what about Yuri's earlier explanations? Yuri is wrong. This is the story she made up for herself, to live out her rebel+revenge issue. However, Angel's issue (keep a school safe as Seitokaichou) is diametrally opposed to Yuri (incite a revolution). Therefore they will have quickly crashed head-on, and the charismatic Yuri will have won followers where the very uncommunicative and introverted Angel could not. Which led to the situation on hand. The only one who seems to realize parts of it so far is...
What's the role of Otonashi? He will become the _mediator_ between Yuri and Angel. He was livid when they broke into Angel's apartment. He's also very curious about her and wants to know more. The upcoming triangle will be Yuri - Otonashi - Angel. All other characters are essentially irrelevant. And the role of Otonashi will be to somehow settle the issues between the two extremes of order (Angel) and rebellion (Yuri).
How will this story progress? Otonashi will learn more about both Angel and Yuri and be torn over it. I could even imagining a developing romance between them, in a true triangle fashion. He will manage to begin some form of relationship to Angel, and he'll also grow closer to Yuri while having his relationship increasingly strained with Yuri's henchmen, particularly when he continues to defend Angel.
And the ending? Otonashi will lose both Angel and Yuri by helping both of them pass on. It's his fate to reconcile both extremes with each other and helping them to leave this afterworld. However, in true key fashion, the ending will be very bittersweet: By doing so, he will also lose both girls he'll fall in love with. Unless, of course, they go for a cop-out ending of waking up out of the coma
What remains to be seen is how the "memory loss" aspect will play into this. I wouldn't even be surprised if in the end, Otonashi was the only "artificial" construct in the afterlife, created to resolve the Angel-Yuri battle. Or there's some more story on the meta-level, and the three of them somehow had dealings with each other in their former lives. Let's see.
In any case, my opinion on Angel Beats increased significantly after ep3. Let's bring it on.

Adult Day Care
Namkee G. Choi
Adult day care centers provide important health, social, and support services for functionally and cognitively impaired adults and their caregivers. The adult day care services are underutilized, however, because of the shortage of centers, caregivers' lack of awareness of and resistance to using services, and the mismatch between the needs of potential consumers and their informal caregivers and the services provided by the centers. To foster and support the expansion of adult day care centers, lessons learned from national demonstration programs need to be disseminated, and social workers need to be trained to provide essential services at the centers.
Aging: Public Policy
Jeanette C. Takamura
Public policy advances in the field of aging in the United States have lagged compared to the growth of the older adult population. Policy adjustments have been driven by ideological perspectives and have been largely incremental. In recent years, conservative policy makers have sought through various legislative vehicles to eliminate or curb entitlement programs, proposing private sector solutions and touting the importance of an "ownership society" in which individual citizens assume personal responsibility for their economic and health security. The election of a Democratic majority in the U.S. House and the slim margin of votes held by Democrats in the U.S. Senate may mean a shift in aging policy directions that strengthens Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, if the newly elected members are able to maintain their seats over time. The results of the 2008 presidential election will also determine how the social, economic, and other policy concerns will be addressed as the baby boomers join the ranks of older Americans.
Care Transitions, Patient Health, and System Performance in the United States
June Simmons, Sandy Atkins, Janice Lynch Schuster, and Melissa Jones
Transitions in care occur when a patient moves from an institutional setting, such as a hospital or nursing home, to home or community, often with the hope or expectation of improving health status. At the very least, patients, clinicians, and caregivers aim to achieve stability and avoid complications that would precipitate a return to the emergency department (ED) or hospital. For some groups of vulnerable people, especially the very old and frail, such transitions often require specific, targeted coaching and supports that enable them to make the change successfully. Too often, as research indicates, these transitions are poorly executed and trigger a cycle of hospital readmissions and worsening health, even death. In recognizing these perils, organizations have begun to see that by improving the care transition process, they can improve health outcomes and reduce costs while ensuring safety, consistency, and continuity. While some of this improvement relies on medical care, coaching, social services and supports are often also essential. Lack of timely medical follow-up, transportation, inadequate nutrition, medication issues, low health literacy, and poverty present barriers to optimal health outcomes. By addressing social and environmental determinants of health and chronic disease self-management, social workers who make home visits or other proven timely interventions to assess and coach patients and their caregivers are demonstrating real results. This article describes care transitions interventions, research into barriers and opportunities, and specific programs aimed at improvement.
Children's Health
Shirley Gatenio Gabel
The history of social work is deeply rooted in helping vulnerable populations improve their well-being, and children have been at the forefront of these efforts since the inception of the profession. Health is long understood to be critical to children's well-being. Social workers who are skilled in integrating different systems can play pivotal roles in engineering new and improving existing health-care infrastructures and can act as advocates for fusing health-service systems with other social infrastructures to optimize outcomes for children. This entry reviews trends in children's health throughout the world, particularly in the United States. It describes the dramatic improvements in reducing infant mortality, child mortality and morbidity from many infectious diseases as well as accidental and environmental causes, and the unequal progress in realizing children's health. The challenges that lie ahead that pose risks to children's health are discussed, including the health inequities created among and within countries by social, economic, and political factors. An argument for a comprehensive, integrated, evidence-based, and cross-disciplinary approach to improve children's future health is presented.
Diana M. DiNitto
This entry defines comorbidity and similar terms used in various fields of practice. It addresses the prevalence of comorbidity, suggests explanations for comorbidity, and discusses integrated treatment for comorbid conditions and the importance of the concept of comorbidity in social work practice.
Disability: Overview
Romel W. Mackelprang
Characteristics that we contemporarily define as disabilities have existed in the human population from earliest recorded history. Societal explanations for disability have varied greatly by time and populations in which disabilities have occurred. At various times in history, disability has been viewed as a blessing from deity or the deities, a punishment for sin, or a medical problem. Social workers have worked with persons with disabilities from the inception of the profession, and in recent years, social work has begun to embrace the concept of disability as diversity and to treat disability as diversity and welcome disabled persons as fully participating members of society. Social work has begun welcoming persons with disabilities as fully participating members of society, including valuable members of the profession.
Disability: Neurocognitive Disabilities
Lisa S. Patchner and Kevin L. DeWeaver
The multiplicity of disability definitions can be attributed to the heterogeneity of disability, its multifactoral nature, and its effects across the life span. Of particular concern to the social work profession are those persons with neurocognitive disabilities. Neurocognitive disabilities are ones where a problem with the brain or neural pathways causes a condition (or conditions) that impairs learning or mental/physical functioning or both. Some examples are intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and savant syndrome. Neurocognitive disabilities are the most difficult to diagnose often times because of their invisibility. Providing services for people with neurocognitive disabilities is very difficult, and people with these disabilities are among the most vulnerable populations in today's society. This entry discusses neurocognitive disabilities and current and future trends in social work disability practice.
Disability: Psychiatric Disabilities
W. Patrick Sullivan
The psychosocial catastrophe that accompanies serious mental illness negatively impacts individual performance and success in all key life domains. A person-in-environment perspective, and with a traditional and inherent interest in consumer and community strengths, is well positioned to address psychiatric disabilities. This entry describes a select set of habilitation and rehabilitation services that are ideally designed to address the challenges faced by persons with mental illness. In addition, it is argued that emphasis on a recovery model serves as an important framework for developing effective interventions.
Early Brain Development for Social Work Practice
Terri Combs-Orme
Development of the brain in the first 3 years of life is genetically programmed but occurs in response to environmental stimuli. The brain is organized "from the bottom up," that is, from simpler to more complex structures and functions, so the experiences and environment that shape early development have consequences that reach far into the future. This entry describes the ontogeny and processes of fetal and infant brain development, as well as major risks to early brain development (during pregnancy and after birth), with emphasis on the factors seen in social-work practice. Neuroscience research is changing social work practice, and understanding early brain development and the contributors to poor development is critical for social workers in medical, mental health, child welfare, and other practice settings.
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Elizabeth C. Pomeroy, Danielle Parrish, Angela M. Nonaka, and Kathleen H. Anderson
This article reviews existing knowledge on the assessment of children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) and available screening, prevention, and intervention services. The wide range of preventable conditions associated with FASD throughout the life cycle is described, along with associated high-risk maternal behaviors. In addition, cultural and social determinants are discussed, in an effort to inform social work practice. The differentiation of FASD and protective factors that have been identified as reducing negative outcomes for children and their families affected by prenatal alcohol exposure are also explained. Finally, multidisciplinary and culturally appropriate prevention services are emphasized as well as early diagnosis and strength-based intervention strategies.

Butkovitz, who's seeking a third term, easily beat back challenges tax-overhaul advocate Brett Mandel and attorney Mark Zecca on Tuesday in a city where Democrats outnumber Republicans nearly 9-1. In November, he'll face businessman Terry Tracy, who was unopposed for the GOP nod.
Still unsettled are the nomination battles for mayor in Pittsburgh, Scranton, Harrisburg and York; a contested statewide judicial primary and special elections for a pair of open seats in the state House of Representatives.
The balloting is mostly limited to Democratic and Republican voters, who will choose party nominees for the Nov. 5 general election. Political observers predict only one in five registered voters will cast ballots.
With the fate of the state's voter-identification law pending in the state Supreme Court, voters will be asked to show a photo ID but allowed to vote even if they do not have one.
The only statewide contest is between Allegheny County Judge Jack McVay Jr. and Philadelphia Municipal Court Judge Joseph C. Waters Jr. for the Democratic nomination for an open seat on the state Superior Court.
Waters, 60, is a retired Philadelphia police captain who will mark four years on the bench in July. McVay, 56, a Pittsburgh resident and a licensed pharmacist, is serving his sixth year in Allegheny County's family-court division.
Both Democratic candidates and Vic Stabile, a Harrisburg lawyer who is unopposed for the Republican nomination, have received favorable recommendations from a state bar panel.
Despite the localized focus of the other primaries, they are the first step toward choosing judges, school board members and municipal officials who make decisions about public schools, local taxes, criminal justice, police protection, road repairs, land use and other governmental actions that can have serious consequences for residents.
"These are the elections that really touch you the most," said Jerry Feaser, the director of elections and voter registration in Dauphin County, which includes Harrisburg, the county seat and the state capital.
In Pittsburgh and Scranton, the planned departures of incumbent mayors Luke Ravenstahl and Chris Doherty have resulted in four-way Democratic primaries in both cities.
The Pittsburgh contest features state Auditor General Jack Wagner, city Councilman William Peduto, state Rep. Jake Wheatley and community activist A.J. Richardson.
In Scranton, the Democratic candidates are city tax collector Bill Courtright, former University of Scranton women's center director Elizabeth Randol, former city community development director Joseph Cardamone and truck driver Lee Morgan. Competing for the Republican nomination are financial consultant Garett Lewis and entrepreneur Marcel Lisi.
In Harrisburg, a prosecutor said Monday he would file misdemeanor charges against a longshot candidate for mayor who admitted defacing an opponent's campaign posters with black spray paint.
Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico said he would charge mayoral candidate Lewis Butts with criminal mischief and criminal conspiracy for defacing some of bookstore owner Eric Papenfuse's campaign signs. In a brief telephone interview with The Associated Press, Butts asserted that some of his own signs were disappearing and being replaced with Papenfuse signs.
Papenfuse, City Controller Dan Miller and Butts, a community activist, are challenging incumbent Mayor Linda Thompson's re-election bid in the Democratic primary.
York Mayor Kim Bracey is opposed by city council President Carol Hill-Evans for the Democratic nod.
Also Tuesday, voters in legislative districts in western and central Pennsylvania will fill two vacant seats in the House of Representatives in special elections.
The seats were vacated by former Rep. Eugene DePasquale of York County, who was elected state auditor general, and former Rep. Matt Smith of Allegheny County, who was elected to the state Senate.
The winners will finish terms that run through November 2014.
Polling places across the state were scheduled to be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

I'm officially at 31.
Gaw, I wish i had your resources Anton
I laugh when I read how Hasbro thinks half the market is kid purchases!
I finally snagged one for junior and must say, this figure as a toy, sucks ass.The torso is so loose he can barely stand and the helmet falls off when the figure is tipped upside down. And did they mold the head in black and then add the flesh toned paint? Already the paint has rubbed away on the tip of his nose leaving a black spot.
The past few times I've been to Target, there is at least 2-3 younger kids checking out the basic figures, lightsabers, etc. After all, if the adult collectors don't buy the Luke, Mace, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and R2 repacks, then who does? Kids.

Helping Homeless Families Help Themselves
The Bakersfield Homeless Center creates a strong safety net for homeless and at-risk families by providing a broad continuum of services which begins with basic shelter. Last year, close to 2,000 individuals found a warm bed waiting at the Shelter. Once crisis needs are met, programs are offered to foster self-sufficiency. We provide shelter today and the tools needed to independently maintain shelter for a lifetime.
In these tough economic times the need for food continues to rise and many who have traditionally been self-sufficient, have suddenly found themselves seeking assistance for basic needs such as food baskets, or hot meals. Last year the Bakersfield Homeless Center provided 146,629 meals for individuals in our community. This constitutes a daily average of 401 individuals from both our sheltered clients as well as hungry members of the community.
At the Bakersfield Homeless Center we treat the symptoms of homelessness while building healthy relationships. It is through these relationships that people in crisis find the courage to seek and find the help they need. Transitional services, including drug and alcohol counseling, medical, dental and mental health care, child care, after school programs, housing and job placement assistance are all made available. Our services help homeless individuals and families develop long-term solutions with lasting success.

The Google Voice app for Android has received an update in the Market, which brings, among other enhancements, the ability to send text messages to multiple recipients. I love Google Voice and use it every day, but this is one feature I have been missing dearly. I often find myself sending the same or similar texts to multiple friends and familty and it always irked me that Google Voice did not allow this. With today's update, this is no longer an issue.
Here is the full changelog from the Market:
- Prefetch voicemails so they can be listened to even when there is no data coverage
- Allow sending text messages to multiple recipients
- Improved text message notification
Please find links to the updated app after the break.

Outside of the main story, players also have a Gears of War 2, Horde mode-style feature to look forward to. This cooperative mode, called Escalation, has players survive as long as they can against ever-more-difficult waves of enemies. Additionally, a rather robust competitive multiplayer component is on hand. Somewhat disappointingly, the competitive multiplayer side, like the campaign, does very little to move the third-person shooter genre forward, however.
Still, multiple classes with sub-specialties, the ability to unlock new attributes through experience, and customizing and mixing and matching load-outs and characteristics makes for a rewarding time despite a lack of endeavor. Add to the persistent character improvement classic game modes such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, zonal control game types (control multiple power nodes or just one node), and objective-oriented modes (six ways to play in all) keep the competitive portion of the game fresh and interesting.
In terms of presentation and design, the development team at High Moon Studios did a great job of giving players lots of well designed Transformers to play as and against. The setting of Cybertron, though very linear in layout, is often breathtaking to behold; I was impressed by how clear their vision for the legendary robot planet was. Visually, this game looks great on HD consoles and PC. Sound design is also quite good. The voice acting and mix of voice sounds bring the characters to life, and the classic transformation effects, weapon sounds, and ambient noise add significantly to the feel of the title. Controls are very straightforward, though not brilliant. Regardless, transforming in and out of vehicle form is done at a touch of a button, and keeping the heat on your enemies with your varied arsenal is pretty easily done. The only real complaints I have concerning controls is that some weapons take a bit too long to fire and reload; in a game this action-packed and frantic, this becomes a frustrating issue.
Transformers: War for Cybertron is exactly what I thought it would be: a well made homage to the Transformers IP that fails to innovate but succeeds, nonetheless. True Transformers fans should really consider this title, as it tells the origin story of their favorite sentient mechas. However, if youre not necessarily a fan and straightforward third-person shooter mechanics arent your bag, you may just want to pass on this one.

You can apply even if you get other types of funding, eg:
Repayments start the April following the completion of your course. You pay back your loan (plus interest) when you finish your course and earn more than £21,000 a year. Your repayments will stop if your income drops below £21,000 a year.
Your annual repayment amount will be 9% of any income you earn over £21,000.
You can get help and money advice from the Money Advice Service.
You pay interest from the time your first payment is made until you pay your loan back in full.
Making repayments
Your employer will work out your repayments and take them out of your salary with your tax.
Access to Higher Education (HE) course
Student Finance England will 'write off' any outstanding Advanced Learner Loan balances you owe for an Access to HE course once you complete a higher education course. This means you don't have to repay it.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – On the second and final day of competition at the ECAC Division III Championships at Springfield College on Friday afternoon, the MIT men's track and field team finished well, placing highly in a number of events. The Engineers wrapped up the weekend in fifth place with 40 points, moving up significantly from where they sat yesterday.
The first up for MIT was the 4x100 relay that finished in second place with a time of 41.66, the best time the quartet has raced this season. The relay, that was composed of junior Michael DuPlessis (Wantagh, N.Y.), freshman Michael Kaba (Jackson, N.J.), senior Josh Duncavage (Austin, Texas) and junior Tyler Singer-Clark (Falmouth, Mass.) finished six one-hundredths of a second behind Oneonta's relay and were just three one-hundredths of a second shy of breaking the MIT varsity record of 41.63 that has remained untouched for over two decades.
Junior Justin Bullock (Detroit, Mich.) finished 18th in the 1500m in 3:59.26, cutting over ten seconds off his time from last weekend's New England Outdoor Championships. Freshmen States Lee (Charlotte, N.C.) and Derek Barnes (Coto De Caza, Calif.) ran their signature event, the 400m, taking fourth and 11th place. Lee finished first for the Engineers with his time of 48.42, just narrowly missing his own MIT freshman record of 48.20, while Barnes followed soon after with 49.17.
Senior Patrick Marx (Grand Rapids, Minn.) and sophomore Samuel Parker (Menlo Park, Calif.) competed in the 800m, crossing the line in second and ninth place respectively. Marx ran a 1:52.17, coming in less than half a second behind the first place finisher from Keene State and cutting a few hundredths of a second off his seed time. Parker completed the event with a time of 1:53.76, which was just off the time with which he was entered. In the 400m Hurdles, Kaba came in fifth place in 53.10, while classmate Adrian Samsel (Whippany, N.J.) finished with a 55.10.
Singer-Clark returned to the top in the 200m, running a time of 21.37 to take the win and improving on his season-best time from the New England Division III Championships by three-tenths of a second. He also broke the previous MIT varsity record of 21.53 that had been the mark to beat since 2005.
Next up for MIT is the 2013 NCAA Division III Championships, the final meet of the outdoor season, which will be held at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse from Thursday through Saturday, May 23-25. The full entry list for NCAAs will be announced at the end of the weekend. The Engineers will look to improve on their performance at last year's championships, where they tied for 68th place.

College Eating: How To Make Better Microwave Popcorn
Microwave popcorn is a college dorm staple – when your kitchen is limited to a microwave and a mini fridge, what choice do you have? But did you know there's a way to make it that's healthier, tastier and much, much cheaper?
Here's what you need: popcorn kernels and a paper bag. That's it.
Fill the bag with about 1/4 cup of kernels, fold the top of the bag over a couple of times and microwave on high for about 2 minutes.
If you prefer, you can add some oil to the bag beforehand, but your bag (and your microwave) will get pretty greasy, and it's not necessary for the popping process. We prefer to add oil or butter after the popcorn is popped.
This is the fun part. You can stick with the classic butter and salt, or experiment with other toppings. Here are a few suggestions:
- Nigella Lawson's Party Popcorn – One of our favorite ways to eat popcorn, this sweet and spicy recipe combines melted butter with paprika (we use both sweet and smoked), cinnamon, cumin, sugar and salt. We also like to throw in a little chili powder.
- Olive oil, za'atar seasoning and salt – We love this lemony, nutty flavor combination.
- Olive oil, fresh ground pepper and a little grated Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil alone – A great way to really enjoy a flavorful oil.
- Caramel Popcorn – Try Emma's recipe that can be made entirely in the microwave.
- Peanut Butter Popcorn – Faith's recipe for peanut butter caramel could be adapted for the microwave.
If you know someone who is heading off to college, a homemade popcorn kit would be a great gift – a jar of kernels, some paper bags, olive oil, salt, maybe some other spices for topping experiments and nice bowl for snacking.
