Tigerwood Handle with a Morado Shaft - 37'' CS0122
This cane also has our Brazos Select Logo laser engraved on the handle.
To be sure, determining the right size walking stick or can be a subjective art form. What feels right for one person may feel horrible for another. However, with almost two decades of experience in making handcrafted, wooden walking sticks and canes, you can be sure that we have some opinions on the matter!
Cane sizing is best achieved by standing up nice and straight, relaxing your arm naturally to the side, and having someone measure the distance from your wrist to the floor.
Again, let me reiterate, the sizing recommendations listed above are only suggestions. For people needing step-by-step support, it's best to consult your doctor or another medical professional about your exact sizing needs.

Article content
Terry Brooks is a grandmaster of the fantasy genre, and his latest will both captivate and surprise readers. Epic fantasy usually details world building with a large cast of characters. The land of Shannara has been detailed extensively in past books, so Brooks takes a different route this time in The High Druid's Blade: The Defenders of Shannara, creating a more intimate and personal narrative with the story of Paxon Leah.
Paxon runs a shipping business, but dreams of exploring the world. He contemplates a better life for himself, his mother and his brash younger sister, Chrys. When Chrys overindulges, she ends up being abducted by a dark sorcerer named Arcannen. His powerful magic terrifies everyone, and his ultimate goal is to take out the power structure of the Druids, the watchers of the land.
A family heirloom, the Sword of Leah, is pulled off the mantle and Paxon rushes to grab his sister. He has no magic to help him with the rescue, and neither does his sister. What Paxon doesn't realize is that Arcannen doesn't want Chrys, he wants the sword, and he will do everything in his immense power to possess it.
Fans of Brooks' earlier work will be mystified not to see many of his usual side characters or heroes, family members of the Ohmsfords. Brooks has done an amazing job of conveying the sights, sounds and environment of the world with just a few characters. It's truly magical how he delivers these elements, and readers will feel like they have actually visited the land of Shannara when they turn the final page.
The novel is meant to stand by itself, and the story wraps up enough to leave the reader satisfied. Another book with these characters would be welcome, but it's nice to see a self-contained story from Brooks.

Okinawaology Blog
Hai Sai! Welcome to my Blog.
Hello, my name is Tom Corrao and I am the blogger behind the Okinawaology Blog. I created this blog to share and discuss all things Okinawan. I'm also the Public Relations Officer and Minkan Taishi to the Chicago Okinawa Kenjinkai. My experience with Okinawa is derived from the time I spent there during the 1980's and 90's (10 years) when serving in the United States Air Force. I've also been married to an Okinawan woman for 30 years now and have been immersed in many things Okinawan through both friends and family. I do not claim to be all knowing about everything Okinawan but I try hard and study the history and culture. I welcome everyone that is interested in Okinawa and hope that I can provide useful information to those uchinanchu that may be curious about their culture and heritage. I also welcome those who are not of Okinawan heritage but have experienced, or are experiencing, the islands culture while stationed there with the United States Military. Comments are welcomed and will be published as long as they are in good taste and on track with the purpose of this blog. My hope with this blog is to bring Uchinanchu people around the world a little closer to their cultural roots by expressing information that has started to fade in light of a more modern world. We should never forget our culture or the people who came before us and through the Blog my intentions are to meld the old with the new and implant knowledge that will help maintain the traditions and culture of an island people.

Itoman's Kohchi hara and Akahigi bara no Haka (The Kohchi and Akahigi Family Tombs)
In Okinawa tombs hold the remains of all ancestors of one lineage, from father to son, to grandson, to great- grandson, continuing down the family tree. This means a tomb will contain all family remains under the male members of the family name including wives who married into the family but not the sisters unless they never married.

Dallas Cowboys' Player Arrested In Teammate's Death
Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Josh Brent was arrested on a charge of intoxication manslaughter Saturday after the car he was driving crashed, killing his passenger, Jerry Brown Jr., a linebacker on the Cowboys' practice squad.
Police allege that Brent, 25, was driving at a high speed just after 2:20 a.m. local time in Irving, Tex. on Saturday morning when the vehicle hit a curb and rolled over. Brown was pronounced dead at the scene.
Brent was still in custody on Sunday pending $500,000 bail. If Brent is tried and convicted on the manslaughter charge, the second-degree felony carries a sentence of two to 20 years in prison. He had a prior DUI conviction in Illinois in 2009.
George Milner, Brent's attorney, described the bond amount as excessive. He was petitioning the team for payment of the bail to free Brent.
A moment of silence to remember Brown was held before the Cowboys game against the Bengals in Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon. Brown and Brent were college teammates at the University of Illinois.
It was the second consecutive week a player death occurred on the day before a full NFL schedule. Last week, Kansas City Chiefs' linebacker Jovan Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend before committing suicide at the team's practice facility.

Boy raises $50K for sick friend with lemonade stand
7-year-old Canadian gives back with help from his parents and
A 7-year-old raised more than $50,000 for his sick friend through a lemonade stand and the help of his parents and social media.
Quinn Callender, of British Columbia, started the stand after hearing that his friend, Brayden Grozdanich, needed a $20,000 surgery that would help him walk.
Brayden suffers from cerebral palsy. The surgery is far less invasive if performed in the United States.
"When I got home, I wanted to tell my mommy and daddy that I wanted to do a lemonade stand to help raise money to help him," Quinn told the CBC.
On Sunday, Quinn set up shop outside a local grocery store. Firefighters helped promote the stand.
Quinn's mother, Heather Roney, also created a page for donations on the crowdfunding site YouCaring.com.
As of Wednesday morning, 614 people had donated more than $55,000.
According to Roney, all proceeds raised above $20,000 will be used to help Brayden's family pay for travel and physical therapy.
Brayden's surgery has been scheduled for August.

From the day that a 14-year-old Ansel Adams first saw the transcendent beauty of the Yosemite Valley, his life was, in his words, "colored and modulated by the great earth-gesture of the Sierra." Few American photographers have reached a wider audience than Adams, and none has had more impact on how Americans grasp the majesty of their continent. In this elegant, moving and lyrical portrait of the most eloquent and quintessentially American of photographers, producer Ric Burns seeks to explore the meaning and legacy of Adams' life and work. At the heart of the film are the great themes that absorbed Adams throughout his career: the beauty and fragility of "the American earth," the inseparable bond of man and nature, and the moral obligation the present owes to the future.

The practice of bed-sharing — parents sharing a bed with their infant — is a hot topic. Supporters of bed-sharing believe that a parent's bed is just where a baby belongs. But others worry that bed-sharing is unsafe.
Many people use the terms "bed-sharing" and "co-sleeping" to describe the same thing, but there are differences:
Bed-sharing supporters believe — and some studies support their beliefs — that bed-sharing:
But do the risks of bed-sharing outweigh the benefits?
In some non-Western cultures, bed-sharing is common and the number of infant deaths related to it is lower than in the West. Differences in mattresses, bedding, and other cultural practices may account for the lower risk in these countries.
Despite the possible pros, various U.S. medical groups warn parents not to place their infants to sleep in adult beds due to serious safety risks. Bed-sharing puts babies at risk of suffocation, strangulation, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Studies have found that bed-sharing is the most common cause of deaths in babies, especially those 3 months and younger.
An adult bed has many safety risks for a baby, including:
Among older infants (4 to12 months old) who died due to bed-sharing, having an additional item (like a pillow or a blanket) on the bed increased the risk of death. Babies should always be placed to sleep on their backs on a firm mattress without any pillows, blankets, toys, stuffed animals, or other items.
Because of the risks involved, both the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the U.S. Product Safety Commission (CPSC) advise against bed-sharing. The AAP does recommend the practice of room-sharing without bed-sharing. Room-sharing is thought to help lower the risk of SIDS.
Besides the potential safety risks, sharing a bed with a baby sometimes prevent parents from getting a good night's sleep. And infants who co-sleep might learn to associate sleep with being close to a parent in the parent's bed, which can become a problem at naptime or when the baby needs to go to sleep before the parent is ready.
Some studies suggest that bed-sharing increases the risk of SIDS, especially in infants younger than 12 weeks old.
Factors that can increase this risk include:
It's safer to use room-sharing without bed-sharing. Experts note that parents and babies sleeping in the same room can reduce the risk of SIDS because they tend to wake up more often throughout the night.
To avoid the risks of bed sharing while enjoying the benefits of room-sharing, parents have lots of options. To keep your little one close by, but not in your bed, you could:
Despite the risks of bed-sharing, some parents decide this sleeping arrangement is best for their family. If you do choose to share your bed with your baby, follow these precautions:
If an infant and a parent are bed-sharing, keep the following people out of the sleep environment:
And nobody should smoke in the room, as this increases the risk of SIDS.
Eventually, the bed-sharing routine will be end at some point, either because the child wants to or by the parents' choice.
If you've been bed-sharing with your little one and would like to stop, talk to your doctor about making a plan for when your baby will sleep in a crib. Moving to a crib by 6 months of age is usually easier — for both parents and baby — before the bed-sharing habit is ingrained and other developmental issues (such as separation anxiety) come into play.

Single Vision Lenses
The single vision lenses we use are (in most cases) in organic plastic, high index 1.6, to ensure lightness and resistance to the bearer. All our optical devices include antireflection and scratchproof, to improve comfort in vision and duration over time. In case of high correction needed or particular assembling, we different material of lenses. Contact us forwarding the prescription and the model you like to verify which are the best options for you.
Progressive Lenses
The progressive lenses we use are Varilux®, manufactured by Essilor®.
We propose two levels of progressive lenses:
Varilux Comfort 3.0® is a very good quality of progressive lens, whose geometry foresees wide fields of vision.
The channel for the middle/computer distance and the bottom/reading part is wider than it is in a traditional progressive, allowing the patient to get easily used to the multifocal, particularly indicated for first-time bearers.
Varilux "X" Series® is the best quality of progressive lens available on the market.
A new technology, called Nanoptix®, is used to build them. The geometry of every single point of the lens is similar to a beehive, blending beautifully with the nearby points. This technology helps particularly patients that have a significant difference in correction between the two eyes. The field of vision is very wide, and the channel for middle/computer distance and the bottom/reading part is wider than it is in Varilux Comfort 3.0®.
Transitions® Lenses
Transitions® technology consists of a special coating that allows the lenses to turn dark under the sunlight. These lenses become tinted very quickly, while they turn clear a little slower. Unlike old photosensitive lenses, this new generation turns completely transparent when not under sunlight. Available colors: Grey, Brown, Green-Grey.
Sun Lenses
The neutral sun lenses differ in each frame, and are listed in every pair of glasses.
Rx Sun Lenses
The corrective lenses we use are high-index, produced by Essilor®, and can be colored in Brown, Gray or Green-Gray. It is possible to customize colors upon request.

Affluent investors tend to be skeptical of companies that proclaim they have a socially responsible strategy, wondering whether this is simply a public relations gimmick.
A new Spectrem Group survey polled investors with net worth between $1 million and $5 million, not including primary residence, and found that 31% considered social responsibility when investing.
Among respondents in that income group who did not consider social responsibility in their investments, 49% said they felt most companies claiming socially responsible corporate behavior did so simply for public relations purposes.
Only 19% of very wealthy respondents with a net worth between $5 million and $25 million, not including primary residence, considered the social responsibility of investments, and were similarly cynical about companies that claimed social responsibility.
Socially responsible investing encompasses an estimated $3 trillion out of $25 trillion in the U.S. investment marketplace, according to the Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment.
A separate Spectrem study found that 85% of affluent investors regarded socially responsible investing as investing in environmentally friendly investments or companies, while nearly two-thirds of respondents considered it to be investing in companies that support a specific social cause.
Other respondents focused on the kinds of companies whose products or practices they would not want to encourage.
In the new survey, age made a difference in respondents' willingness to consider socially responsible behavior of companies in which they invested.
Forty-one percent of investors in the $1 million-to-$5 million group under 45 and 35% of their richer counterparts age 46 and younger considered social responsibility when investing.
The question for these younger investors, then, is how to know when a company is behaving in a socially responsible way.
Spectrem noted in a statement accompanying the survey results that the nonprofit B Lab issues certification for companies — called B corporations — that meet comprehensive and transparent social and environmental performance standards. Certified B corps also must meet legal accountability standards.
Created in 2007, B Lab is funded by private, corporate and governmental entities such as the Rockefeller Foundation, Deloitte, the Prudential Foundation and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The organizers compare Certified B status to a LEED certification for green buildings, according to the B Lab website.
Some 800 companies across 60 industries in 27 countries have received B corp certifications.
Companies are required to take a survey of their socially responsible practices, and certification can cost between $500 and $25,000 depending on the size of the company.

The 2012 local sports scene was a mixed bag. The New Orleans Saints had a season they would like to forget after a bounty scandal rocked the organization.
LSU also had a disappointing start to 2012 after losing to Alabama, 21-0, in the BCS championship game in New Orleans.
The 2012 local sports scene was a mixed bag. The New Orleans Saints had a season they would like to forget after a bounty scandal rocked the organization.
LSU also had a disappointing start to 2012 after losing to Alabama, 21-0, in the BCS championship game in New Orleans.
But all of the news was not bad. It was a banner season for several area high school football teams and the Nicholls women's basketball team had one of the best seasons in school history. Throughout the year, there were many events that made the 2012 local sports scene a roller coaster.
The Courier and Daily Comet sports staff voted on the Top 10 local sports stories of 2012. Here is that list:
The 2012 season was one of promise for the Saints as they were trying to become the first team to play in the Super Bowl in its home stadium.
But those dreams were dashed on March 2 when the NFL announced it claimed it had evidence that the team operated a bounty system in which players were paid bonuses for hard hits and trying to injure opponents from 2009 to 2011. The NFL handed down tough punishment on the Saints, including the season-long suspensions for head coach Sean Payton and linebacker Jonathan Vilma, eight-game suspension for general manager Mickey Loomis, six-game suspension for assistant coach Joe Vitt and multiple-game suspensions for other players.
The cloud from the bounty scandal, also known as "Bountygate" hung over the Saints for the entire season. Without Payton and appeals hanging over the team the entire season, the Saints struggled throughout the season and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008. The Saints ended the season with a 7-9 record.
LSU's quest to win its third Bowl Championship Series national championship ended with a performance many fans would like to forget.
After winning the SEC title with a 13-0 record and being ranked No. 1 in the BCS standings, LSU earned a spot in the national championship game, and standing in its way was SEC West rival the Alabama Crimson Tide. The two teams met earlier in the season in battle of No. 1 vs. No. 2 with LSU winning 9-6 in overtime,
But in the national championship game, it was all Alabama. The Crimson Tide's defense shut down LSU's offense, limiting the Tigers to 92 yards of total offense in a 21-0 victory. The win gave Alabama its second BCS title in three years, while LSU finished the season at No. 2.
The 2012 high school football season was one many local fans will remember for quite some time.
The season started off on a sour note after Hurricane Isaac disrupted the start of the season. But some teams were able to take the field, and the Ellender Patriots made the most of it with a 26-7 win over Terrebonne to end a 32-game losing streak.
But in the end, three local teams — Houma Christian, South Lafourche and Vandebilt Catholic — had seasons that were some of the best in the history of the schools.
Houma Christian made the Class 1A state playoffs for the first time in school history in only its second season fielding a varsity team. South Lafourche headed into the Class 5A playoffs with a 9-0 record — its first undefeated regular season since 1966 — and captured the District 7-5A title. Vandebilt made the deepest run in the playoffs of any area team, reaching the Class 4A quarterfinals and featured one of the state's top players in quarterback Elijah McGuire (who led the state with over 2,600 yards rushing and 31 touchdowns).
Hurricane Isaac slammed into southeast Louisiana on Aug. 28, and the storm had a major impact on the local sports scene.
Seven high school football teams were forced to cancel their season openers as a result of the storm. H.L. Bourgeois, Terrebonne, Ellender, Vandebilt Catholic, E.D. White Catholic and Assumption were the only local teams to play the opening weekend. The storm also postponed the majority of the opening week volleyball matches and shortened Assumption's Bayou Classic to one day.
Nicholls' sports schedule was also altered because of the storm. The Colonels season-opening football game against Oregon State was postponed until Dec. 1, while the volleyball team had to cancel its tournament — the Bayou Invitational.
Behind the play of Sumar Leslie and KK Babin, the Nicholls State women's basketball team had what can be considered the best season in school history.
The Colonels returned to the Southland Conference Tournament for the first time since the 2004-05 season and made history along the way. By making a tournament record 14 3-pointers, the Colonels won their first ever postseason game by knocking off top-seed Central Arkansas, 79-59, in an opening-round game. Nicholls' tournament run, however, came to an end with a 66-57 loss to Stephen F. Austin in the SLC tournament semifinals.
Leslie, a first-team selection on the Louisiana Sports Writers Association's All-Louisiana team, signed with a professional basketball with the Ammerud Queens in Norway. Babin, a third-team pick on the All-Louisiana team, returned this season for her junior year and has helped guide the Colonels to an 8-3 record, their best start in school history.
Coming off a 1-10 season in 2011, the Nicholls State football team was looking for a better year in 2012.
Things didn't get off to a promising start as the Colonels' Sept. 1 season opener against Oregon State was postponed because of Hurricane Isaac. Nicholls and Oregon State played the game on Dec. 1.
It was the fifth game Nicholls has been forced to cancel because of a hurricane.
Once the team returned to the practice field, things didn't get much better. The Colonels dropped their first two games of the season, extending their losing streak to 12 games. After defeating NAIA Evangel University, 73-17, Nicholls closed the season losing eight-straight games to finish 1-10 for the second straight season. The Colonels have compiled a 2-10 overall record and 0-14 in the SLC the past two seasons.
Terrebonne High baseball star Justin Williams had a year he will never forget, starting the year by earning Class 5A all-state honors as a utility player and ending it by signing a national letter-of-intent to play baseball at LSU.
But over the summer, Williams made a name for himself on the national stage. Williams gained some national exposure this summer when he competed in the Perfect Game All-American Classic at PETCO Park in San Diego on Aug. 12 and at the Under Armour All-American Game at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Aug. 18. He won the home run derby at both nationally-televised contests.
Williams is ranked in the Top 5 of most national high school baseball recruiting lists for 2013. He is ranked as the nation's No. 3 overall prospect according to Perfect Game, and ESPN.com recruiting article ranked him as the second-best outfielder in nation and Louisiana's top baseball recruit for the Class of 2013.
After dominating the competition in the Louisiana Christian School Athletic Association for the past four years, Covenant Christian Academy decided it was time to make the jump to the Louisiana High School Athletic Association.
Covenant Christian was officially voted into the LHSAA on Jan. 25 and began competing in it for the 2012-13 season. Although the Lions would be a member of the LHSAA, they would not be able to compete in the state playoffs in any sports for one academic year. CCA's football team fared well, posting a 6-1 record in its first competition against LHSAA teams.
When the LHSAA finalized district for the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years, it placed Covenant Christian in a district with Houma Christian and New Orleans-area schools Crescent City, Ecole Classique, Country Day, Ridgewood and St. Martin's. CCA will be eligible for the playoffs and all-district honors for the 2013-14 season.
In a one week span in November, E.D. White Catholic wrapped up banner seasons in cross county and boys swimming.
For the second week in a row, E.D. White's boys and girls cross country teams pulled off the sweep by taking home Class 3A state titles.
The boys team scored 43 points to beat West Feliciana for the state title, while the girls team scored 31 to easily top South Beauregard. Winning state cross country titles is nothing new for E.D. White. The Cardinals have now won 14 state titles, including seven straight from 2002-08, while this year's state championship was the fourth overall for the girls team.
Two days later, it was the E.D. White boys swimming team leaving its mark, finishing as the Division III state runner-up. The Cardinals finished second to St. Charles Catholic by six points. E.D. White's boys team also finished as the state runner-up in 2000 and 2006.
Each year, the E.D. White volleyball team is in the mix for a Division III state volleyball championship, and 2012 was no different.
The Lady Cardinals reached the state championship match for the first time since winning it all in 2008, but unfortunately, they came up just a bit short against Ursuline Academy. ED. White battled for five sets, but in the end, Ursuline pulled out a 19-25, 25-20, 24-26, 25-16, 15-9 win and the state championship.
It was E.D. White's eighth appearance in the Division state championship match, finishing as the state runner-up in 2000, 2003-08 and 2012.

Gov Neil Abercrombie's office recently announced that the state "will still tighten income eligibility for adults in QUEST starting in July, which means about 3,500 adults could lose health insurance coverage, but will cancel limits on hospital stays and the elimination of outpatient rehabilitation, optometry services and prosthetics." The administration announced last month that it would cancel cuts for durable medical equipment, such as wheelchairs and oxygen tanks. "We're extremely pleased with the Abercrombie administration's decision to keep outpatient rehabilitation benefits intact for QUEST beneficiaries," said Art Lum, PT, MA, president of the Hawaii Chapter. "This victory could not have been possible without the support of our chapter's membership and APTA staff, and the work of the chapter's legislative team."

I love cooking for Jeff. He's open to trying new food. He's not fussy. And he likes virtually everything. That is, except Shepherd's pie (can't say I blame him); broccoli (unless it's made with bacon or prosciutto); and oatmeal cookies (that's just inexplicable). I mean, really, who doesn't like oatmeal cookies? Jeff. That is, until he tasted my Oatmeal Everything Cookies.
I'm not entirely sure why, but I wanted him to like oatmeal cookies, maybe as much as I do. To me, not liking oatmeal cookies is sad; it's like missing out on something special. So I was determined to make an oatmeal cookie that Jeff liked. Really, really liked.
Batch #1: Oatmeal, Raisin, and Apricot Cookies
Jeff bites into the cookie and frowns slightly.
Me: "What? You don't like them?"
Jeff: "Well, they're good but they don't taste like a cookie."
Me: "What do you mean they don't taste like a cookie?"
Jeff: "They taste too healthy."
Batch #2: Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, and Walnut Cookies
Jeff: "Mmmm.... You put chocolate in this batch. These are much better."
Me: "See, I told you you'd like oatmeal cookies."
Jeff: "But those were walnuts, huh? You know what would be even better? Pecans."
Batch #3: Oatmeal Everything Cookies
Jeff: "Another batch of oatmeal cookies? Wow! What's in them this time?"
Me: "Not walnuts."
He takes a bite, and smiles slowly, then pushes the rest of the cookie into his mouth.
Jeff: "These rock! Seriously, what's in them?"
Me: "Everything."
Jeff: "Hey, that's what you should call them. Oatmeal Everything Cookies."
Oatmeal Everything Cookies
Makes approximately 40 cookies.
Print recipe only here.
Feel free to substitute your favorite add-ins. After all, they are "oatmeal everything cookies."
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, stir oats, flours, baking soda, salt. and cinnamon.
3. In a medium bowl, combine butter and sugars. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat until just combined. Beat in the dry ingredients. Stir in the cherries, chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans.
4. Drop 1 heaping tablespoon of cookie dough 2 inches apart (as they will spread) on the parchment-lined baking sheets.
5. Bake cookies for 18 minutes, or until golden brown all over. Transfer to a rack to cool. Cool completely before storing and place in an air-tight container.

Afghan police on Sunday arrested six men and seized suicide vests, assault rifles and more than 50 hand grenades during a raid on a residential building in central Kabul, senior officials said.
Kabul Police Chief Gen. Mohammad Ayub Salangi said an investigation was under way to determine the identities of the men he described as "terrorists" and what they were planning to attack.
The raid comes as British Prime Minister David Cameron meets in London with the presidents of Afghanistan and Pakistan to discuss prospects for peace talks with the Taliban. Cameron initiated the meetings with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari last year to boost cooperation among the countries and promote regional stability.
The talks, on Sunday and Monday, are expected to focus on preventing a Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan when British, American and other NATO troops withdraw from the country by the end of next year. Downing Street said the trilateral meeting will include Afghan and Pakistani army and intelligence chiefs for the first time.
Deputy Kabul Police Chief Daud Amin said police discovered the explosive vests and at least 55 hand grenades among other weapons in the house.
Recently, teams of Taliban suicide bombers carried out two spectacular attacks in central Kabul.
On Jan. 21, five Taliban suicide bombers attacked the traffic police headquarters, killing three policemen and wounding at least 30 people. All five attackers were killed in a nine-hour gun battle. That attack came less than a week after six Taliban suicide bombers attacked the gates of the Afghan intelligence service, killing one guard and wounding dozens.
In other violence, an Afghan government official said a roadside bomb killed a family of five, including two young children, on Saturday night in southern Afghanistan. The administrator for Miyanishin district in Helmand province, Shah Mahmood Shafa, said the family was driving through the district when their car hit the bomb.
Associated Press writers Mirwais Khan in Kandahar and Patrick Quinn in Kabul contributed to this report.

This month's PTJ provides many opportunities for physical therapy educators to refer to outstanding research, says Editor in Chief Rebecca Craik, PT, PhD, FAPTA, in her monthly Craikcast podcast. Craik also urges faculty and students to listen to the 43rd Mary McMillan Lecture, "Face the Storm," presented by Alan Jette, PT, PhD, FAPTA, in June at APTA's annual conference. Research topics in the September issue include predictors of chronic nonspecific low back pain, physical activity after total knee replacement, prevalence of McKenzie's classification categories among patients with extremity problems, walking activity in people poststroke compared with older adults without disability, and the use of electromagnetic fields used in stem-cell tissue engineering.

View APTA's new Managed Care Contracting Toolkit today to learn valuable information about joining a managed care plan, and securing and tracking contracts. A chapter on "doing the math" can help you decide which fee schedules, patient populations, and payment methodologies are best suited to your practice. The toolkit also breaks down the pros and cons of common methodologies that third-party payers use to pay for physical therapy services and offers information on negotiating contracts. APTA's Payment and Practice Management Department created the member-only toolkit to help PTs make informed decisions about joining a provider network.

text: Friday, October 05, 2012 Bill Aimed at Weakening NY Self-referral Law Vetoed On Wednesday, New York Gov Andrew Cuomo vetoed legislation that would have weakened existing state restrictions on physicians' ability to refer patients to facilities in which they have a financial interest. Assembly Bill 3551-A would have added some of the same exemptions found in the federal Stark law, such as the in-office ancillary exceptions for certain designated health services. The New York Chapter has been actively opposing the bill, which was approved by the state legislature earlier this year and sent to the governor in September. The Alliance for Integrity in Medicare—a coalition of provider organizations, including APTA, committed to ending the practice of inappropriate physician self-referral—sent a letter to Cuomo in July asking him to veto the bill. Comments Thank you for the APTA and the Alliance for Integrity in Medicare for their support in the Chapters efforts. A strong collaborative unified voice can lead to successes such as this. Posted by Matthew Hyland on 10/5/2012 11:50 AM The big question is, who sponsored the the bill, why he/she sponsored the bill and who is that person affiliated with? Posted by J Hansen, PT on 10/5/2012 12:08 PM Physicain should not be making extra income from physical therapy services done by physical terapist , I strongly believe no physical therapist should work for the physician owned clinics (POPS). This should not be allowed by APTA.The problem will be solved forever. Posted by Yalcin Ekren Cert.MDT. PT on 10/5/2012 11:02 PM Physical Therapists are the problems because if 10 of them refused to work for MD offices you will find 10 accept to work. So the problem is inside us just any Therpist should blame himself. All MD are making money from PT. Also many Physical Therapists are destroying our profession. Posted by Ahmed Elmansy -> ?MRa>H on 10/8/2012 12:29 PM Should a physician be able to refer to a hospital based PT? Why? Doesn't the hospital pay the physician based on his performance? Do physicians participate in profit sharing plans with the hospital? I am familiar with the issues surrounding POPS, and where I find myself career wise is being cognizant of ethical issues and monitoring myself and my conduct closely. I work in a small medical practice as a PT, autonomous in every way except my paycheck. The clinic is well equipped for a small clinic, and I accept referrals from outside sources and direct access patients as well. I determine care plans, based on my own evaluation, and send the evaluations to the referring physicians like anyone else. I fully realize some people have been unethical in this arrangement. When I accepted the position, I made it perfectly clear that I alone determine length, frequency, of treatment. Like any reasonable person, if there is a concern regarding and individual patient, I am more than happy to discuss that patient with a provider and act in the patient's interest. Don't private practice PTs get more money if they see people longer, more often? That's ethical though? Sounds strange to me... honestly. Posted by Leon Richard, PT, DPT on 10/12/2012 6:44 PM Leon, I agree with you on PTs needing to remain autonomous. But when the arrangement between the MD and PT is financially integrated, whether its a POPTS clinic, private clinic with under table kick backs, or corporation that hires MDs and PTs to work under one roof with a constant stream of referrals...well, that all needs to be looked at, exposed and allowed to be viewed and identified by the patient himself. The patient should be made aware of any and all financial relationships in full disclosure just like is done in other business deals and, ideally, with public elected positions. The patient then can make the decision himself. But there is so much corruption and back room hand shakes in my state, that any law that limits self-referrals is, to me, a good thing. Posted by Dino Bolos PT, OCS on 10/12/2012 11:49 PM Physicians were found to be from 1.7 to 7.7 times as likely to order diagnostic imaging when they owned the equipment in-house. See Kouri, B. et al. Physician Self-Referral for Diagnostic Imaging: Review of the Empiric Literature. American Journal of Roentgenology, vol. 179, October 2002. Everyone and every profession is capable of corruption. What we do as PT's is allowed by society, the law, and third-party payers on good faith that we will do it according to the ethical standards of the profession. A physician-owned practice is simply one of the avenues of corruption that can easily be avoided. The best way to make sure that patient care is entirely up to my ethics, and not influenced by my employer's productivity standards, is for me to run my own business. So I do. I make my own hours. I decide the intensity of my caseload. I even have a waiting list – no one can say I'm hanging onto a patient for the money. The less autonomy you have, the more you'll have someone breathing down your neck for productivity, and unduly influencing your clinical decisions.

Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Pomegranate Glaze
With cookies flying everywhere lately, I almost forgot to post this recipe for Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Pomegranate Glaze. That would have been a shame because this dish, which I created a couple of months ago, has skyrocketed to the top of my go-to recipe list.
Creamy, sweet, red-fleshed Garnet sweet potatoes are roasted until caramelized then drizzled with a tangy honey and pomegranate glaze. Then they're dotted with ruby red pomegranate arils, toasted walnuts, and savory thyme for a highly textured, flavorful, and aromatic side dish.
Pomegranates are easy to find now due to their popularity at Christmas time. But don't delay, since their season usually runs from late October through January.
I'm telling you, this is one side dish that can steal the show from an entree any night of the week.
So, tell me, how do you use pomegranates in savory dishes?
Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Pomegranate Glaze
Makes 4 servings
Print recipe only here.
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 4 1/2 cups)
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 sprigs thyme, plus 1 extra for garnish
salt and black pepper
Pomegranate Glaze:
mix 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice with 1 tablespoon honey OR
mix 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice with 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
If you prefer, you could substitute 2 tablespoons of pomegranate molasses* for the glaze.
1/4 cup lightly toasted chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons pomegranate arils
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking dish or sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up.
In a large bowl toss diced potatoes with olive oil, honey, thyme, and salt and pepper, until well coated.
Roast potatoes for 45-50 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium high heat, add pomegranate juice with honey or brown sugar; bring to a boil, then reduce until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. If you are using pomegranate molasses, then simply make sure it is at room temperature or warm before drizzling it over the potatoes.
Place potatoes in a serving dish, drizzle with pomegranate glaze and lightly toss until well coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts and pomegranate arils.
*Pomegranate molasses (also called pomegranate syrup or paste) is a thick sweet and sour syrup used in many Middle Eastern recipes. It can be found in Middle Eastern specialty markets. Or you can make your own. Elise of Simply Recipes tells you how here.

Many different way Susan.
Chicken fahsenjan is one of my favorite, sprinkle in salad just like that is another one, then of course put them in my baking bread or cake, juice them and make glaze for duck roast, ahhh the choices are endless. I can go on and on ...
Your sweet potatoes is worth trying...

Unfortunately the only pomegranates I have found around now are imported (from USA) which is a shame because they do seem so festive but I did indulge in one before Christmas for a pumpkin pomegranate and orange salad with spiced walnuts! I love the look of your sweet potato dish and will bookmark it!

I like how different the use of the pomegranates is. I feel like we always see the sweet potatoes and cinnamon combo. And it looks much lighter, like you could serve it at lunch.

I've yet to use them in a savory dish...oh, but I did use a balsamic vinegar that was infused w/pomegranate...does that count?

I must admit to being intimidated by pomegranates. I always savour them though when other great cooks use them in their dishes.

Very creative use of sweet potatoes. If I ever get to make Christmas dinner, I would definitely want to include a dish like this. Of course when I am finally given the privlege of making Christmas dinner, my family won't know what hit them. *grins evilly*

I have some homemade pomegranate molasses (a holiday gift from my cousin) that I'm going to use in some sort of tagine this week. Love using it with slow cooked chicken. The sweet potatoes look wonderful. I'm bookmarking to try soon. Happy new year, Susan.

Love pomegranate in green salads, with lamb roast and in home-made chutney.
Those date/pomegranate scones look really good. Have to try that!

I have to admit I have never used pomegranates in a savory dish. I usually pluck them from my parents tree without the patience to save them long enough to cook with them. We just open them in a bucket of water and seed and eat them. Although I love Pom juice and can totally imagine how wonderful a glaze it would make! I love your use of it with the roasted sweet potatoes.. beautiful photo's and color too Susan!
I hope you are having a wonderful Holiday season.. Ciao!!

I made this last night. yummy! I love pomegranate molasses - it's a staple in our pantry since I learned of it from the Splendid Table a couple years back. I'd almost put it on anything. (It's great on ice cream, or a spoon for that matter) This recipe was delicious - I added onions too. thanks!

Oh, that looks so lovely - both the colours and the flavours! I don't use pomegranates enough but do use them successfully in a rocket and fennel salad sometimes to add sweetness... and colour!

This sounds like a fresh approach to cooking sweet potatoes :), I usually just cook them with apples, but pomegranates sound like a delicious alternative.

A few weeks ago, Microsoft announced its quarterly financial results, which set new records for both revenue and income. As I have discussed in this column before, these developments are a shock only to the large contingent of critics who have been writing off the Redmond giant for years by dismissing its franchise, especially in this "post-PC" world. The fumbled Windows 8 launch and the announcement of CEO Steve Ballmer's resignation added the hope for legitimacy to their condemnation until the numbers rolled in.
Microsoft's huge numbers were driven by excellent results in businesses, especially server-side technologies, where the company's franchises continue to grow. An important contributor to this growth is the rapid climb of Windows Azure the company's cloud platform.
When Azure was first released in 2010, it had all the trappings of a me-too product meant to compete with Amazon, Google App Engine (GAE), and the upcoming clouds from IBM, HP, Oracle, and ATT. But unlike many of those products, especially unlike GAE, Microsoft made sure that Azure played well with all technologies, even those not sold or even endorsed by the company. This surprising break from past traditions of exerting tight control on new platforms enabled users to run Linux and Java on instances of Azure. At the time, GAE offered nothing comparable. The OS of the GAE VMs was a custom Linux implementation, and Java was only partially supported (many AWT classes were blocked). As to databases, Google offered its proprietary technology, while Azure offered instances of SQL Server in the cloud. For the first time in recent memory where Microsoft and Google competed in a major technology sector, Microsoft had the more open product.
Azure kept evolving quickly. A subsequent release enabled sites to run Azure on local hardware, thereby merging local and remote clouds in ways that most other vendors could not. As I'll touch on shortly, this integration has now been made even tighter to the distinct benefit of developers.
As a result of these smart decisions, all-Windows shops became early adopters of Azure, followed by enterprises that were running back-end technologies on Microsoft platforms. Slowly at first, but steadily afterwards, Azure worked its way into second place (behind Amazon) as the cloud provider of choice. (According to a study cited here, Forrester projects Amazon holds 71% of the cloud-hosting platform market; while Azure holds 20%).
In the last year, Microsoft has been tailoring Azure and retooling its programming products to make the platform the first choice of developers. It recently announced Azure SDK 2.2, which enables several important activities, ranging from the convenient (single sign-on for cloud instances, optionally tied to an Active Directory instance) to the exceptional (remote debugging of a cloud-based app from within a desktop instance of VS 2012 or 2013). This last capability (see image) means that you can spin-up a remote VM instance to run, say, a regression suite of tests. When one test fails, you can replay it from the debugger and make the corrections directly from your desktop.
As the company told me last week, they expect to move ahead with even tighter integrations between Azure and Visual Studio. This is where the traditional tight integration between Microsoft's dev tools and its larger product line pay off well.
I should note that if you have a subscription to MSDN, you likely can try these capabilities for free. The higher-end subscriptions include from $50 to $150 in credits for Azure machines. The latter number would enable several instances to run 7x24 and be used for dev, testing, and continuous integration (or even continuous delivery) of small projects. Go to Windows Azure, sign up for a free trial, and login using your MSDN credentials. You should get credit there and be able to proceed without providing a credit card.
I am encouraged to see Microsoft make good choices driven by user needs rather than the politics of proprietary technologies. This not only benefits all parties, but it could well make Azure the cloud development platform of choice.

The capital city for 13 dynasties, Xi'an has prospered through the years with the emergence of the Silk Road. It is the birthplace of China's many ideas, discoveries, civilizations and traditions, thus making China a big influential force in the world. Take a step back in time and be astonished by Xi'an's inexhaustible monuments and cultural relics. Top 5 Must Do's Terracotta Army In Xi'an lies the famed Terracotta Army, one of China's most globally recognisable icons. Dating back to 210 BC, this form of funerary art is a collection of detailed terracotta sculptures depicting Emperor Qin Shi Huang's armies who continue to guard him in the afterlife. The Drum Tower and The Bell Tower Never worry about telling day from night in Xi'an. These two towers will have you covered. The Bell Tower takes its name from the large bronze-cast bells struck at dawn, whilst the Drum Tower is named after the huge drum beaten at sunset. The Great Mosque of Xi'an Islam was introduced in China during the Tang dynasty, and the Great Mosque was constructed in 742 as the first mosque in the land. The architecture is heavily Chinese-influenced, with attractive pavilions and parks complementing the mosque complex. Qin Opera The oldest of the Chinese operas still performed today, Qin opera's expressive drama and straightforward performances accompanied by music keep it highly popular amongst locals. The plots are based on historical legends, so skimming the synopsis is enough for you to follow the story. Yang Rou Pao Muo The signature dish of Xi'an is a must-try experience by itself –lamb soup is poured over shreds of flat, unleavened bread, along with meat, noodles or scallions, and seasoned with picked garlic or chilli. Not a mutton fan? There's no need to feel sheepish when asking for the beef version.

Cyberbullying is using information and communication technologies to deliberately and repeatedly behave in a manner intended to harass, threaten, humiliate or harm others. Part of what makes cyberbullying especially damaging is the ability of an abuser to attack at any hour of the day or night, in any place, and to make their attacks very public. Research suggests that between 20 – 30% of students will experience cyberbullying and between 10 – 20% of students will be a cyberbully at some point.
Victims of cyberbullying are in a vulnerable state, so how you respond to your child, and how you report the incident(s) to your child's school, are likely to be significant factors in either making the problem stop or worsening the situation.
Your first task is to listen to your child without judgment, blame, or attempting to jump in and 'solve' it. Gently ask questions to discover how long the cyberbullying has been going on, the names of those involved (if known), and the forms of cyberbullying used. If there is evidence of the cyberbullying – saved text messages, posts, websites, etc. – have your child show these to you and save these for documentation should it be needed.
You also need to ask your child to be entirely honest with you about any forms of retaliation they make have taken. Hopefully, they have done nothing to retaliate, but often kids and teens lash out and this significantly complicates matters. Let them know that the truth will come out when their cyberbully is confronted, and they will be in far worse shape if they haven't been transparent about their own behavior. If there is evidence of their actions, document these as well.
If your child did not come to you right away, do not place blame, just let them know you are grateful they've come to you now. There are many reasons that youth suffer silently, they may be afraid you'll react by restricting their online access, they may be embarrassed that they can't take care of the bullying themselves, they may be afraid that you'll handle things in a way that escalates the bullying, or that you won't understand and minimize the problem.
You may also learn about the cyberbullying from another source, or suspect that cyberbullying is behind behavioral changes you see in your child. In either of these cases, find the time when you can be alone and unrushed with your child to bring up the topic.
Acknowledge your child's pain. Recognizing your child's pain and hearing you affirm that what happened wasn't fair or right is important validation. Being cyberbullied is alienating enough; do nothing that makes your child feel any more isolated. Bullying hurts and that hurt is exhibited many forms — anger, embarrassment, betrayal, frustration, confusion, fear, and reprisal.
Reactions may also differ depending on who is doing the bullying, how pervasive it is, who witnessed it, what the nature of the bullying was, if bystanders lent support or not, and so on. Help them see that bullies' actions are not a result of a fault within your child, but a fault of the bully.
If your child or teen retaliated with their own cyberbullying, you also need to include a full discussion about the inappropriateness of their behavior and what the consequences will be. The assertion that "the other kid started it" is irrelevant. Your child cannot blame their choices and behavior on anyone else and must be held accountable. If they want justice for what was done to them, they need to expect the same yardstick to be applied to any cyberbullying they committed.
Once you understand the scope of the problem, and how your child feels, assess what help your child may need.
Help your child take preventative measures online to block cyberbullies from contacting them, and report cyberbullies to the service providers where the cyberbullying occurred. Responsible sites should take immediate action against cyberbullying incidents.
If your son or daughter experienced cyberbullying, chances are high that the negative fallout has spilled over into their school experience – whether or not the cyberbullying actually occurred while your child or their abuser(s) were on school grounds.
Take immediate steps to address the issue. Don't wait to see if the cyberbullying goes away. Your child needs to know that you can and will help them with this problem. Ideally, you are already informed of your child's school's cyberbullying policy. However, it's more likely you have a vague idea there is such a policy and little to no idea if the policy actually helps protect victims or risks exposing your child to greater bullying.
Start by contacting the school's vice principal, or whoever is in charge of disciplinary measures, and ask what steps are taken when cyberbullying is reported, how well other victims have been protected, and what steps are taken to ensure the cyberbullying doesn't escalate.
School staff should be very open and supportive in their answers and you should feel free to ask the questions you need in order to feel comfortable about reporting the incident, and assured that you know what to expect every step of the way. If your questions aren't met with open understanding, or you believe the school will not handle the issue well, step back and reconsider your options. The last thing a cyberbullying victim needs is for the problem to get worse.
Next, discuss what you learned from the school with your child or teen and chart out the best course of action. Cyberbullying robs victims of their sense of control; by including your child in the process of resolving the issue you help them regain that control.
If your child is guilty of retaliation cyberbullying be particularly mindful as you weigh your course of action. Many schools have a zero cyberbullying tolerance and both bullies – the instigator and your child the responder – may be in for the same punishment. Schools may also be obligated to report cyberbullying acts that step over the boundary of the law.
If reporting the incident to the school is the best course of action, you can now move forward in reporting and documenting the incident(s) following the guidelines you received from the school in your previous conversation.
Simultaneously, you may want to help your child or teen increase the strength of their friendships to reduce the feeling of isolation victims often experience. Depending on how deeply the cyberbullying has impacted your child, you may also choose to set up appointments with the school's counselor or ask the school's counselor for names of therapists who have expertise in working through the effects of the cyberbullying.
Cyberbullying may also be criminal. Physical threats of harm should be reported to police immediately. Laws vary by state, but cyberbullies may be guilty of cyberstalking, computer trespassing, and other crimes. If the situation warrants it, contact your local law enforcement.

Self-styled "corporate geek" and head Facebooker Mark Zuckerberg has been on a mission to extend the image of his "platform" (or is it just a website?) for some time now with software application development initiatives designed to lure in the programming cognoscenti.
Zuckerberg wants to make it easier for coders to build apps on Facebook by providing back-end hosting tools that will enable third-party apps to connect to the wider community.
The recently staged Facebook Parse Developer Day was specifically targeted at so-termed third-party app developers. Parse itself is a cloud services firm that Facebook acquired to help provide a hosted back-end infrastructure for programmers to build its mobile application upon.
NOTE: Facebook already provides tools designed to guide developers into the process of connecting with the data that exits upon the social network itself — this plan is hoped to do more than that.
"What Facebook is trying to do with Parse is to give developers new tools to build and grow their apps," said Zuckerberg.
So with more than 1 billion active users on Facebook, Zuckerberg is saying that programmers should be able to focus more on the front-end application user experience and less on aspects including server management, services connection management, and building push notifications — although these functions will indeed remain crucial.
The analytics tools available through the Parse division will enable programmers to monitor various application attributes and activities such as whether their software creation is enjoying more user traction and interest on Android or iOS, or even whether certain human demographics are attracted to an app and therefore spending more money within the app than others.
