This B&H Kit has been assembled to provide you with a flexible, cinema-style camera package capable of shooting and recording in either FHD or UHD. The kit includes one Panasonic Varicam LT 4K S35 Digital Cinema Camera in EF Mount, Panasonic OLED Viewfinder, Panasonic Cinema-Style Shoulder Mount, Grip Module for handheld operation, PL Mount Adapter, 512GB expressP2 Media Card, and a USB 3.0 P2 Memory Drive.
The Varicam LT features a S35 sensor that features dual native ISO ratings. This allows you to shoot in normal and low light levels without needing to introduce gain to the image. Plus, when you record using V-Log you can capture up to 14 stops of dynamic range. The camera comes with an EF mount, but the kit includes the PL mount adapter, greatly expanding the choice of lenses that you can use. The shoulder mount and grip allow you to hand hold the camera comfortably, and the grip module provides start/stop, iris control dial, and two user-assignable buttons to control the camera.
Panasonic's Cinema VariCam LT 4K S35 is a single Super 35-sized sensor digital cinema camera with a lightweight magnesium body and interchangeable lens mount. It shares the same sensor as the Varicam 35, which features dual native ISO ratings of 800 and 5000. The camera is capable of capturing 14-stops of dynamic range when using V-Log and recording up to 60 fps at 4K, and up to 240 fps at 2K.
You can record your footage to high-data-rate files using the camera's built-in expressP2 card slot (expressP2 cards not included) while simultaneously recoding proxy files to the camera's SD card slot. The proxy files can incorporate color grading changes that the high-resolution files do not, making it easy for post to see your intent, without baking the look into your high-quality, camera-original files. The camera features selectable gamma curves, allowing you to get the most out of the sensor. It supports recording using AVC-Intra, AVC-Intra 4K, and Apple ProRes codecs. The 3.5" control panel can function as an LCD screen or be used to control the camera's functions.
The Panasonic Viewfinder for the VariCam LT features a 720p OLED display that more accurately shows the notable skin tones the camera captures. The camera monitor always remains on regardless of whether the viewfinder is in use or not.
This robust viewfinder features a metal composite build, heat dissipation bars on the rear, focus dial, a 1-9 stepped, indexible diopter dial, and two assignable preset buttons. The preset buttons can be programmed with functions such as "with or without LUT display."
There is an SDI connector for connecting to the camera for video display, and a Hirose port for connecting to the camera for power. The included camera-mounting bracket allows for versatile adjustment, including extending the viewfinder out horizontally.
A key accessory for the VariCam LT, the Cinema-Style Shoulder Mount from Panasonic not only serves as a shoulder support for the camera, but also as a 15mm LWS rod baseplate for building up your rig. The camera interfaces with the Shoulder Mount via an included ARRI standard sliding quick release plate for easy attachment and removal on set, while the shoulder support itself complies with the VCT-14 standard, allowing you to mount the entire rig to compatible tripod plates. For accessory mounting and support, the Shoulder Mount features front and rear 15mm rod clamps, with ARRI standard rosettes near the front rod clamps to support an optional Grip Module or other third-party hand grips. In addition to the VCT interface, the V-wedge has a 3/8"-16 threaded hole for mounting your rig to other tripod and dovetail plates.
The Grip Module for VariCam LT is a right-sided handgrip and extension arm for shoulder-mounted operation of the VariCam LT digital cinema camera. It attaches to the VariCam's optional cinema-style or ENG-style shoulder mounts, but will also attach to any shoulder rig or rod support system that features an ARRI standard rosette. The Grip Module includes an ergonomic handgrip and a telescopic arm that extends from approximately 8.3 to 10.4". The handgrip features a REC start/stop button, iris control dial, and two user-assignable buttons for quick access to frequently used camera functions. Integrated into the grip is an 11" coiled control cable with a 12-pin Hirose connector to interface with the camera.
Among the variety of optional accessories Panasonic has released for the VariCam LT is a robust PL Mount Adapter. The camera's EF mount can easily be switched out for this adapter, and the flange distance remains the same.
The 512GB B Series expressP2 Memory Card from Panasonic supports the high-quality, high-frame-rate recording of 4K/120 fps and HD/240 fps. The card features 10 Gbps data transfer speeds, capable of recording 4K footage and high-frame-rate VFR images up to 240 fps in HD without sacrificing the durability you've come to expect from P2 media cards.
The expressP2 card features an individual serial number for media tracking, an internal raid configuration, and error correction functionality to protect your footage from data loss. The solid state construction provides the media with shock, vibration, and temperature resistance and the well-established PCMCIA connector used by the P2 system has a proven track record of 30,000 insertion / removal cycles for reliability.
The Panasonic AU-XPD1 P2 Memory Card Drive is a compact, single-slot P2 card reader/writer that uses a USB 3.0 interface, which is fast enough to accommodate expressP2 card data transfer rates up to 2.4 Gb/s. It is compatible with P2 and expressP2 memory cards, as well as microP2 cards when using the optional AJ-P2AD1G adapter. Two USB 3.0 ports are provided on the device; one for transferring data and one for powering the device from your computer or an AC adapter. For computers without USB 3.0 support, the device is backwards compatible with USB 2.0.

Democrats to Aid Republicans on Mo. Gun Bill
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - With the help of some Democrats, Missouri's Republican-led Legislature appears to be in position to override Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of a high-profile bill that seeks to nullify federal gun-control laws in Missouri and make criminals out of federal agents who try to enforce them.
The Democratic governor contends the bill violates the U.S. Constitution.
Several of his fellow Democrats told The Associated Press that they don't disagree, but they say a "no" vote on gun-control legislation in some parts of Missouri could be career ending.
The Republican-led Legislature is to meet in September to consider a veto override.
The gun bill originally passed with comfortable margins in the House and Senate.

How Not to Make Mistakes With Medications
The numbers are simply staggering: Every year 1.5 million people are sickened or severely injured by mistakes with medications, and 100,000 die. And yet all of those deaths are preventable. What's the answer? We have to protect ourselves. Here are some quick tips that will help you or a loved one.
Find out the name of your medication
Don't just take your prescription to the pharmacy to be filled. Pharmacists do their best, but they're only human and are capable of making mistakes. If you know the name of the medicine you're supposed to be taking (write it down so you don't forget, as many medications tend to have long, unpronounceable names), you can double check the pharmacist's work when you pick up your medications. Also double check your refills to make sure the medicine looks like the last batch you received.
Ask questions about how to properly use the medication
There are a lot of variables with each medication, including where they should be stored (refrigerator or room temperature), what the dose should be, how often you should take the medicine, whether to take it with food or on an empty stomach, what to do if you miss a dose, what possible side effects you can expect, and if there are any other medications or foods you should avoid or limit that might react badly with the medication. Ask lots of questions and take notes in case you forget any of the answers.
Know what your medication is supposed to be treating
You're more likely to take the medicine properly if you know what it's supposed to be treating. If you think it's for an intermittent symptom and only take the medicine when you're experiencing that symptom, you could be missing out on key doses if you were supposed to be taking the medicine on a regular basis.
Read your medicine labels and follow the directions provided every time you take a dose
You might think you remember how much medicine you're supposed to take, but our memories are often faulty, especially as we age, so don't take any chances on the size of your dose. Check every time so as to leave no doubt that you're taking the medication properly. Many medications come with a measuring device, and you should always use it to ensure accuracy.
Checking the label for the name of the medicine every time you reach for a dose is also a good idea, especially since many prescription bottles tend to look alike. Always check to make sure you're taking what you think you're taking.
Keep all of your healthcare providers informed
All of your doctors need to know what medications you're taking so they can provide you with the best care possible. For example, if your cardiologist prescribed a new medication for you, let your general practitioner know so they have it in their records for you. That way they can be on the lookout for any potential side effects and be sure not to prescribe you any other medicines that might react badly with your current regimen.
Keep a list of your medications with you at all times
You should also provide your emergency contact with this list so they can let the emergency personnel know what medications you're on if anything happens to you. That way they know whether to consider side effects, nasty combinations of drugs, or just to avoid giving you anesthesia or medicine that doesn't get along with one or more of the medicines or supplements already in your system.

Senior Fall Prevention & Awareness
The grandparents might give you a hard time about breaking a hip when they try certain activities, but it's no laughing matter. Falls are the top cause for fractures in seniors in America, including hip fractures and other severe injuries, although women are more likely than men to suffer fractures from falling. But broken bones aren't the only thing to worry about. Falls are also the #1 cause of traumatic brain injury, which in turn can lead to a further increased risk of both severe, and even fatal falls.
And it's expensive to boot. In 2010 alone, roughly $30 billion were spent in direct medical costs on seniors who had been injured as a result of falling.
September is senior fall prevention & awareness month, but it's something we should always be vigilant in monitoring. While falls are a serious concern for seniors, it is never inevitable that someone will fall. Here are some things you can do to help make sure the older loved ones in your life are less likely to suffer from a fall.
Encourage Them to Exercise Regularly
Balance and fitness go hand in hand, so it's more important than ever for people to stay fit and active as they get older. General fitness is necessary, but there are also classes geared specifically towards helping seniors build and maintain balance. Encourage parents and grandparents to take these classes if at all possible.
While some bone deterioration may be inevitable as we age, there are ways to make sure we don't lose any more than we need to. Strength and balance training are both essential, but diet is also key. We all need to make sure we're getting a healthy dose of all our vitamins on a regular basis, especially calcium and vitamin K, which helps transport the calcium to our bones.
No matter what we do, we tend to lose some of our eyesight and hearing as we age. Make sure the seniors in your life are getting their eyes and ears checked regularly, as trouble seeing or hearing can result in serious falls. Other kinds of ear trouble can also impair their balance.
Stay Vigilant
If you don't live with your senior loved ones, be sure to visit them regularly and take note if they appear to be having trouble sitting down, standing up, or walking. If they always appear to be holding onto furniture or walls, talk to them about it and see what can be done to help them.
If they live in an assisted living facility or nursing home, be sure to talk regularly with their caregivers about their fall risk and what measures are being taken to reduce that risk. If they're taking any medications, be sure to stay informed about what those medications are and any potential side effects.
September is fall prevention & awareness month, but people fall all year round. Educate yourself, educate your loved ones, and make sure you have a system in place to help prevent falls.

4 Ways to Prevent Pneumonia in Seniors
Fall is in the air. Some of the leaves have already started changing and many of us have experienced reduced temperatures when we step outside, letting us know that winter is coming.
It can be a great time of year, but it can also be a dangerous time of year, especially for seniors. Not only do ice and snow pose an increased risk of falling, but the colder air tends to bring with it colds, flus, and other viruses. While they may be nothing more than nuisances to the rest of us, these diseases can be life threatening to seniors whose immune systems may not be as strong they once were, especially if the virus gets into their lungs and causes pneumonia.
Here are four ways you can help protect your loved ones from pneumonia:
1) Immunizations
There's a reason medical professionals encourage everyone to get their flu shots every fall, especially seniors and those with weakened immune systems. There's no such thing as a guarantee against getting sick, but getting immunized is one way to stack the deck in your favor. By making sure the seniors in your life get their flu shot every year, you're decreasing the chances they'll catch something that could turn into pneumonia.
2) Hygiene
There's no need to seal seniors in a bubble to prevent infection, tempting as it may be at times, but by practicing good hygiene, you can help reduce the chances they'll get sick. Wash your hands regularly in warm, soapy water, or use hand sanitizer. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze and wash your hands or apply hand sanitizer immediately afterwards. Stay away from seniors if you're sick or if you've been around other people who have been sick – you don't want to accidentally act as a carrier for a nasty cold or flu.
Also make sure seniors are taking good care of their teeth and mouth. In addition to colds and flus, other types of infections, including dental or oral infections, can also turn into pneumonia, so make sure seniors are still seeing the dentist regularly.
3) Stay Healthy
Sometimes it's easier said than done, but by constantly practicing general good health, we reduce our risk of getting sick. That includes eating our veggies, keeping our sugar and alcohol intake to a minimum, avoiding tobacco products, and exercising regularly. All these practices, not only help keep our immune system strong and ready for action, they also help us feel great by giving our body all the things it needs, while avoiding the things that can be harmful.
4) Educate Yourself
Know the early signs of pneumonia in seniors so you can act as soon as possible. Rather than a cough or fever (although you should certainly be on the lookout for those symptoms as well), seniors are more likely to experience weakness, dizziness, or confusion. Since these can be common signs of aging, especially in those with dementia or Alzheimer's, pneumonia often goes undetected until it's too late. Be on the lookout for any changes in their health or attitude and talk to their doctor if you've noticed anything unusual that could point to a serious health risk.

7 Reasons Senior Dental Health Is So Important
Many people tend to think of dental health as something that's separate from and unrelated to the rest of our health. Maybe it's because dental insurance is generally sold separately from health insurance, but the fact is the health of our teeth and mouth is a vital component of our overall health. If our mouth isn't healthy, we're not healthy. Although everyone should be on top of their dental health, below are seven reasons senior dental health is so important and why.
Pneumonia can be deadly for seniors, many of whom are already suffering from a weakened immune system. A link has been found between pneumonia and poor oral health, which can leave bacteria in the mouth that gets inhaled into the lungs, where it develops into pneumonia.
Heart disease
While heart disease can sometimes seem like an isolated incident in an otherwise healthy individual, in fact there are often warning signs we ignore because we don't think they're related. But studies have proven that gum disease and heart disease are connected, even to the point where common problems in the mouth can be as effective at predicting heart disease as cholesterol levels.
So if you want to make sure your senior loved ones (and yourself) don't suffer from heart attacks or strokes, make sure you're all brushing your teeth, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly.
Periodontitis, which is a severe form of gum disease, hinders the body's ability to use insulin, which can lead to diabetes. But it can go the other way, too, because high blood sugar (a common effect of diabetes) can lead to gum infection.
Denture-induced Stomatitis
When the tissue underneath a denture gets inflamed, it's known as denture-induced stomatitis. It can be very painful and can be caused by poor dental hygiene, dentures that don't fit right, or a build-up in the mouth of a fungus known as Candida albicans.
Gum disease
Gum disease has been linked to a variety of health problems all over the body – not just the mouth. It can be caused/exacerbated by a wide range of habits, including poor dental hygiene, an unhealthy diet, tobacco products (cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco), and dentures and bridges that don't fit right. Other illnesses, such as diabetes, anemia, and cancer, have also all been linked to gum disease.
Dry Mouth
Dry mouth is a common side effect of many medications, as well as radiation for those getting treated for cancer in the head/neck regions. While dry mouth may seem like a minor annoyance, it's actually a serious health concern. Saliva not only helps us digest our food, it also helps keep the mouth clean by controlling bacteria and preventing infections in the mouth. So if you or your loved one is experiencing dry mouth, be sure to tell your dentist immediately.
Root Decay
Root decay is very common in elderly patients as the gum recedes from the tooth and the root (which doesn't have any protective enamel) is exposed to bacteria and food acids. As with everything else, this could be an indication of and/or precursor to a larger health issue, so if you or a loved one are experiencing any tooth pain, make sure to get it looked at right away.

Top 5 Senior Scams and How to Avoid Them
It's an unfortunate fact that seniors are prime targets for scammers. They are perceived as being more trusting and many of them have acquired savings and valuable assets to help get them through retirement. The combination is too tempting for many scammers to resist. Below are the five most common scams targeting seniors and how you can avoid them.
Congratulations! You're a Winner!
Everyone likes to win. With all the stories of big lottery winners taking home millions of dollars, it's exciting to think about what we would do if we won a lottery or giveaway of some type. Scammers take advantage of this by contacting unsuspecting targets and telling them they've won some sort of sweepstakes, but with a catch: the target has to pay to cover the taxes and fees before they can get their prize.
Winners never pay in order to receive their prize. That would defeat the purpose. Legitimate sweepstakes and lotteries have other forms of income to pay their bills, such as the tickets purchased by everyone who enters the lottery. Any time someone tells you that you have to pay to get a prize, hang up and report the incident to the National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) right away.
An Exciting Investment Opportunity
Because many seniors are more concerned than ever about saving/investing for retirement, they are prime targets for investment fraud. Scammers will often call the target claiming they have a great investment opportunity for them with little-to-no risk and big returns.
If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Always consult a reliable, trustworthy financial analyst before making any big investments.
You Haven't Paid Your Taxes
This scam has been targeting all age groups – not just seniors. Someone calls pretending to be from the IRS, saying the target has not paid their taxes, and if they don't pay immediately, they'll face serious consequences, such as a revoked drivers' license or arrest.
The IRS does not call or email citizens. They use the postal service, and they should never be pushy or aggressive, which scam callers usually are to intimidate their targets into paying up. If you get a call or email claiming to be from the IRS and threatening you for not paying your taxes, feel free to hang up or delete the email, because it's not legitimate.
I Need You to Bail Me Out
Another common scam is when the conperson calls pretending to be a relative who has been arrested abroad and needs to have money wired to them to bail them out.
In reality, that relative may never have been to that country at all. Be sure to contact other family members to confirm that person is really there and that the situation is legitimate. No one wants to leave a family member hanging in their hour of need, but you should never wire money anywhere without first confirming the person is who they say they are.
We Can Fix Those Windows For You
Some scammers show up on your doorstep offering home repair services you don't need … or didn't think you needed. These scammers get their targets to pay upfront for work that will be done at a later date. In reality, the work is poorly done or never done at all.
Never pay for services before you've received them. Most licensed contractors don't go door-to-door soliciting work, but if you're not sure, you can always ask for their business card and do your own research later.
What To Do When A Loved One Can't Go Home From The Hospital
No one likes hospitals and every patient is eager to get out of there as soon as possible. Once they escape the uncomfortable, sterile environment full of strangers, they just want to go home – to retreat to their own space. It's perfectly normal for patients to want that, but what if it's not an option?
For some aging patients, especially if they're very sick, they may not be able to take care of themselves, and if they live alone, going home after the hospital could be dangerous. At that point, if you're the caregiver, you'll have some tough choices to make. No one can make them for you (though you can certainly ask for advice), but the decision will ultimately be yours and you will have to make it based on the needs of your loved one.
Home Care
In the best-case scenario, you might be able to hire someone to come in and help your loved one around the house. If your loved one needs help cooking and cleaning, but is otherwise healthy and self-sufficient (i.e. you don't need to worry about them accidentally leaving the oven on or not being able to get out of bed on their own), a home nurse might be a good option. This is also a possibility when your loved one does live with someone (such as a partner or an adult child) who can look after them, but needs some help with the caretaking.
Whether or not this is an option will also depend on your financial situation and where your loved one lives. In some of the more rural areas, it might not be possible to get someone out there.
Assisted Living Facility
The last thing most patients want to do is move from a hospital to another strange environment, but if you've decided assisted living is the way to go, you're going to have to convince your loved one it's in their own best interests. Assisted living is a great option for people with a variety of needs. Most of them have different levels of care, so if your loved one is still relatively self-sufficient, but needs some help with daily tasks, an assisted living facility can be ideal. If they need more extensive care, they can also probably find what they need in an assisted living facility.
Nursing Home
If/when your loved one gets to the point of needing professional medical attention on a regular basis, they might need to go from the hospital to a nursing home. Like hospitals, nursing homes maintain a nursing staff 24/7. They cannot perform surgeries or run many of the tests that hospitals can perform, but they can help take care of patients with chronic and/or deteriorating medical conditions.
The worst-case scenario is hospice. This is for when it has become clear your loved one will never get better. Their condition will only continue to deteriorate until the end, and while keeping them in the hospital might delay the inevitable, few people would prefer to die in a hospital. Hospice can give them the care they need while helping to make them as comfortable as possible in their final days.

What You Don't Know About High Cholesterol CAN Hurt You
High cholesterol is one of those things that easily sneak up on you. There's just something about human nature that makes us want to bury our heads in the sand rather than receive bad news – as if it can't hurt us if we don't know about it.
When it comes to our health, a large part of the problem is the lack of information available, and much of the information we do have access to is conflicting. But knowledge is power, so here are 8 things you need to know about cholesterol to help you and any loved ones you may be caring for.
1) There are no symptoms that come along with having high cholesterol until it's too late, which is why it's vital to get your levels checked regularly.
2) When you do get your cholesterol checked, make sure you get your HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels measured, not just your total cholesterol, which doesn't tell you much of anything. Your cholesterol numbers might be slightly higher than the average, but if it's mostly HDL and low LDL, you have nothing to worry about. On the other hand, if your overall cholesterol is low, but it's mostly LDL with low levels of HDL, that's something you should be concerned about. Also keep an eye on your triglyceride numbers, which you want to be lowest of all.
3) The body makes most of its own cholesterol – only about ¼ of the cholesterol in our body comes from the food we eat. Because of the specific form cholesterol takes in most of our foods, most of it doesn't get absorbed, so you don't actually need to worry about foods that are high in cholesterol, especially since they are often among the most nutritious foods available to us.
4) That said, genetics do play a factor. Some people are genetically predisposed to make more cholesterol than others, and in some cases, the ratio of HDL to LDL might be less than favorable. Diet and exercise both play a role, but it's always a good idea to check your family history and be sure to remain vigilant about getting your levels checked.
5) While we tend to focus on high cholesterol, it's important to remember that there is such a thing as cholesterol levels that are too low. Cholesterol is vital to maintaining our health – it helps carry nutrients around the body and HDL actually helps keep our arteries clean. So don't get too focused on getting your cholesterol as low as possible – if it's in the healthy range and you have a good ration of HDL to LDL, you're fine and you don't need to worry about it.
6) Cholesterol levels tend to rise as we age and women in particular tend to experience higher triglyceride levels after menopause, so be on the lookout for all of those warning signs.
7) The National Cholesterol Education Program recommends adults over 20 get their cholesterol levels checked every 5 years, but those who are at risk (especially people over the age of 45) might need to get their levels checked more frequently.
8) High blood pressure and smoking are also both associated with higher levels of cholesterol, so if you have a loved one who smokes and you know they have high blood pressure, try to be extra vigilant about making sure they get their cholesterol checked regularly and keep their diet and exercise regimen as healthy as possible.
Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels is not only good for helping to prevent heart attacks and stroke, but also dementia and a whole host of other potential health problems. It's just one more reason to educate yourself on the facts of cholesterol so you can protect yourself and those you are caring for.

10 Decorating Tips for Assisted Living
Just like you take time to decorate any space you move into, you should be sure to help your loved one to decorate their new space when they move into an assisted living facility. It's their new home and it should feel like home, but it also needs to be safe. Here are 10 things to consider when helping your loved one decorate.
1) Consider your space.
The first thing you need to do before undertaking any decorating project is to consider the space you'll be decorating. Take measurements so you know exactly what you're working with as far as floor space, wall space, etc.
2) Almost anything can be storage.
Moving to an assisted living facility usually means downsizing. If someone has been accustomed to filling a big house with their possessions, moving into a one- or two-bedroom unit will be a big change for them, but you can make it easier by finding clever ways to store things that don't need to be on hand or on display at all times. Ottomans and trunks can provide storage space while also being decorative and serving another purpose in the space. Storage space doesn't have to be limited to closets and under the bed.
3) Remember to prevent falls whenever possible.
This means no rugs or anything cluttering the floor, clear visibility and plenty of lighting throughout the unit, and plenty of sturdy things to hold onto as they make their way through the apartment.
4) Colors matter.
The colors we are surrounded by can have a significant, if subconscious, effect on our health and wellbeing. Blues, greens, and yellows are most often associated with healing, so be sure to include those as much as possible in your space.
5) Use round, non-glass furniture.
Falls should be prevented whenever possible, but even the best layout can't prevent all falls. If they do happen, falling onto sharp corners and/or glass furniture can make the damage so much worse – even fatal. So use round, non-glass furniture throughout the unit.
6) Avoid busy patterns or designs with dark spots.
Busy patterns can cause confusion and agitation in those with dementia or Alzheimer's, while dark spots can look like holes or splotches of dirt to those with impaired vision.
7) Don't forget tactile.
Decorating is about more than what we see. Texture plays a big role, so aside from making the resident comfortable, you should also consider using different fabrics, such as felt, denim, and lace. They can excite the senses and help boost memory.
8) Encourage social interaction.
If the resident loves certain games, keep those games readily available so they can be pulled out and played any time a visitor comes. Place interesting artwork and memorabilia in various places to encourage conversation.
9) Bring the outside in.
This is especially important if the resident can't make it outside much. By including artwork that's evocative of nature, as well as actual plants (if permissible) you'll create a more healing environment that has been proven to boost overall mood, as well as health.
10) Have Fun
Decorating is a creative way of expressing yourself and the personality of the person/people inhabiting that space. Above all, never forget to have fun with it and include the input of the person/people who will be living there.

What Are the Risk Factors of Glaucoma in Seniors?
The term glaucoma refers to various eye disorders, all of which are progressive and tend to result in damage to the optic nerve (which is a bundle of roughly one million nerve fibers that are responsible for transmitting visual signals from the eye to the brain). Glaucoma is considered to be loss of vision as a result of damage to the nerve tissue.
Primary open-angle glaucoma is the form of glaucoma patients experience most often, and it's caused by an increase in the pressure of the fluid in the eye. Such pressure can cause gradual damage to the optic nerve over time and loss of nerve fibers. It can ultimately result in vision loss and even blindness.
1) How Old You Are
Most people over 60 are at risk, but African Americans tend to experience an increased risk after age 40. After these markers, the risk for glaucoma goes up each year.
2) Your Race
African Americans are more likely than Caucasians to develop glaucoma and to experience permanent vision loss as a result. Asians are more likely to develop angle-closer glaucoma, with people of Japanese descent being especially more likely to get low-tension glaucoma. Latin Americans are most at risk in very elderly populations.
3) Your Family History
If your family has a history of glaucoma, you're more likely to develop it yourself.
4) Other Medical Conditions
Having certain medical conditions can increase the chances you'll also develop glaucoma. Heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and low blood pressure have all been linked to glaucoma. Many people worry about high blood pressure (which can cause vision loss from glaucoma if left untreated), but few people worry about their blood pressure getting too low (hypotension). Nevertheless, hypotension is as serious a medical condition as hypertension and can cause damage to the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss.
5) Physical Injuries In And Around The Eye
Getting hit in the eye isn't just extremely painful, it can also cause the pressure in the eye to escalate, either immediately after the injury and/or some time after the incident itself. Severe trauma to the eye can also dislocate the lens, which causes the drainage angle to close, thereby increasing pressure on the eye and causing all sorts of problems.
6) Other Risk Factors Related To The Eye
The anatomy of the eye itself varies slightly from person to person and the unique way your eyes are constructed might put you at an increased risk for glaucoma. For example, how thick your cornea is and the appearance of your optic nerve can both provide an idea of your personal risk for glaucoma. Conditions you might have developed over time, such as retinal detachment, tumors and any kind of inflammation in or around the eye, can all cause and/or exacerbate glaucoma. Some studies have also suggested you might be at increased risk for glaucoma if you've experienced a lot of nearsightedness.
7) Use Of Corticosteroids
Use of corticosteroids for an extended period of time has been linked to secondary glaucoma.
Glaucoma is a frightening prospect that can seriously inhibit our independence along with our vision. Because age is a primary factor in the development of glaucoma, you should be especially vigilant in looking out for it as loved ones get older, especially if they have one or more of the other risk factors.

Tips For First Time Caregivers
Becoming a caregiver is something we rarely plan for. Few children say, "I'm going to be a caregiver when I grow up," but when faced with age and/or chronic illness, many people do turn to their grown children or other family members for help in dealing with their newly-fragile state, including some of the more basic aspects of day-to-day care.
If you now find yourself thrust into the position of caregiver and don't know where to begin, we've got some tips for you:
Get Informed
Whatever medical issues your loved one is dealing with, you should make sure you at least know the basics. What are the typical outcomes? Treatments? Side effects of the medications? You should know as much as you can because you're going to be the one dealing with them. This can mean a quick internet search (or very intensive internet search, depending on your research style), asking a librarian or bookseller for book recommendations, and talking to medical professionals who specialize in that field.
It should also mean you're present at doctor's meetings. Patients often fail to ask their doctors the right questions (or any questions) or they forget to mention symptoms. As a caregiver, you are responsible for acting as your loved one's advocate and nowhere is that more important than the doctor's office. Not only do you have to keep the doctor informed of all developments, but you are in the best position to make sure the patient takes all their medication when they're supposed to, gets the prescribed exercise, eats right, etc.
Get Help
Aging can be a lonely time of life for many people, but sometimes the caregiver can also be left feeling isolated. Even if you're surrounded by friends and family, they might not understand what you're going through or the specific challenges associated with being a caregiver.
Fortunately there are communities out there to provide support, advice, and a sympathetic ear. There are online communities as well as ones that meet in person. You can check MeetUp.com to see if there are any groups in your area already meeting to discuss these things. If not, you can start your own group. Either way it's important to know you're not alone.
Take Care Of Yourself
As any mother will tell you, when you're caring for someone else, it can be easy to forget to take care of yourself, and what little time we do spend in self care can often leave us feeling guilty. But the fact is that taking care of yourself is an important aspect of taking care of your loved one. If you're not at your best, then you won't be able to provide the best care. So make sure you eat right, exercise regularly, and take time to enjoy some of your favorite hobbies every now and then. You and your charge will both be better off for it.
And remember there's no reason you can't make taking care of yourself part of taking care of your loved one. You're probably in charge of their meals anyway, so while you're cooking up something delicious and nutritious for them, make some for yourself. Consider what exercises they're capable of and exercise together. Do a puzzle together. Read out loud to them. Taking care of them will be a lot of hard work, but there's no reason it can't also be fun every now and then.

Six months old
Senegal Parrot
Long Island, New York, USA
his is Maui. She's a six month old Senegal Parrot and she lives on Long Island, in New York, USA. Maui is just the cutest, friendliest, most loveable little creature. If you pet her beak, she will gently pet your face in return. If you take a nap, she will nap with you under the covers. If she's eating her favorite rice pudding, she'll share some with you. Maui loves to sit on the windowsill and keep an eye on the neighbors, and sing to her bird friends who live on the roof next door. She is also a little acrobat, swinging upside down from her jungle gym on one foot. What a show off! Maui's unconditional love make her little acts of mischief forgivable (such as pretending to be the phone so I will pay her attention--you should hear her ring! and changing the time on my watch when I'm not looking--what a clever bird!)

Ceres had just taken a 2-1 lead in the fifth on Martino Bertolotti's double to right center, putting runners in scoring position with one out.
The Bulldogs (3-4, 7-5 overall) threatened to bust it open with their big hitters looming, but 2007 all-league Offensive Player of the Year Robert Cope and clean-up Tyler Cummings weren't given a chance.
Facing the sun in right field, Leasure managed to get under Josh Edwards' deep pop fly near the warning track and knew that Nick Welsh was tagging up at third base.
"At first I didn't see it, but I just got a good jump on it," Leasure said. "I got a little momentum going to help me throw it harder and get it down there quick."
Leasure masterfully executed the inning-ending assist, as he gunned down Welsh at the plate.
"It was a big play and that's how you win," Sierra coach Jack Thomson said. "You don't win because of fancy coaching decisions; you win because you make plays."
And guess who led off the Timberwolves' deciding four-run in the bottom half of the inning?
Leasure worked a full-count walk to jump start the scoring burst and scored on a two-error play that followed Jonathan Davis' sacrifice bunt.
A pitch later, Jacob Angelo roped a shot down the third-base line and legged out double, driving in Davis in the process. The no-out rally continued with Dylan DeBrower getting hit in the helmet by a pitch. He and Angelo both scored on wild pitches.
"That was huge," Angelo said of Leasure's lead-off walk. "All the momentum was already on our side and it doubled after that. That was huge for him to make a great play like that and come up and get on base.
"He had a phenomenal day today. He started it off for us, and we couldn't have done it without him."
Ceres answered in the sixth with Cummings' two-run homer to right. He was 3 for 3 with three RBIs.
Angelo finished 2 for 4 to lead Sierra (4-1, 7-4). Jordan Louie drove in the Timberwolves' first run with a single to left to make it 1-1 in the first.
Andy Scott was solid in his seven innings from the mound, striking out 10 while walking four and scattering six hits. In the seventh, he walked the first batter but recorded consecutive assists to second on grounders toward and clinched the victory with a three-pitch strikeout.
"Andy really gave us a lift, he pitched really well," Thomson said.
The series ends in Ceres Thursday.

I know this is a little outdated but...
I'm trying to get php3 running on an NT webserver running IIS 3 and currently hosting about 30 sites. I installed php3 as per the instructions, and it all seems to work. However certain scripts that work fine on my 98 and ME boxes running apache don't work at all on the NT server. For instance, a very simple counter script gets an "input/output violation", and it makes reference to both the counter text file itself, and the script that uses it. Also, a news script that stores all the news items in a directory. It says "Opendir, no such directory" or something to that effect. The directory, however, IS there. Basically, it seems to be anything that requires file manipulation that doesn't work. Finally, authentication doesn't work. How come?
Any help GREATLY appreciated.

Make It a Song Song Song[CD]
~ Liz Buchanan
Product Notes
'Make it a Song, Song, Song' is Liz Buchanan's first collection of original tunes and classic favorites. Children will love to boogie to the jazz beat of 'Antelope Dance' and sing with familiar tunes such as 'If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands' and 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight.' There's a terrific train song, 'Chugga Chugga Ding Ding,' and parents will love the updates of camp tunes such as 'Boom Dee Ah Dah.' Liz has lots of friends playing and singing with her on the album, including a jazz band, flute and mandolin, and a whole gang of kids! An award-winning singer, guitarist and songwriter, Liz has led sing-along programs for young children in the public libraries in Arlington, Massachusetts, and surrounding towns for almost 20 years, as well as singing programs in preschools and elementary school classes. In 2001, she was named a finalist for Best New Artist for Young Children by the Children's Music Web organization. Liz is also a children's theater director and acting teacher. She is excited about original musical play for kids and families, 'Music Island.' Here's what others have to say: 'Liz's CD is WONDERFUL! My five-year-old and I put it on the other day and we both loved it. Liz has a great voice!' -Elizabeth Greenbaum, Articulture, Minneapolis, MN 'I enjoyed the train harmonies on 'Chugga Chugga Ding Ding' and I especially enjoyed 'Boom De Ah Dah.' The children's voices were wonderful!' -Duncan Wells, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia 'We are constantly humming Liz's tunes. It's a great collection.' -Tina Egan, East Greenwich, RI 'This is our girls' favorite CD. When we need to hurry them out the door in the morning, we promise they'll get to hear Liz in the car!' - Ken Kimmel, Newton, MA.
