1969 Torino Talladega
One of 751 NASCAR Torinos
Talladegas Won the 1969 NASCAR Championship
Garage Find with Full Photo Documentation
Dry Stored Stored Since 1983
Numbers Matching 428 Cobra Jet
Factory Power Steering
Factory Power Front Disc Brakes
Factory Staggered Rear Shocks
Factory Competition Suspension
Although most people would think that Mopar with their far-fetched rear wings or dramatic front ends dominated the NASCAR tracks back in the late 60's but that was not the case. The (very humble by visual comparison) Ford Torino Talladega actually owned the NASCAR Manufacturer's Championship. With only 751 Talladegas produced they are very rare today. Examples like this one with the 'Day 2' modifications are incredibly rare and fun parts of their history.
This Talladega was stored in Central Montana back in 1983. It was an urban legend that was only brought back into the light a month ago. It has survived very well thanks to the dry garage and ultra dry Central Montana weather. What you see on this car is the accumulated dirt from 35 years of storage. The story goes that the second owner who bought the car in 1979 and used it sparingly before heading off to work in Alaska where he worked during the summer. Since Montana isn't a place for a Muscle Car in the winter the car remained inside. By 1983 he decided to call Alaska home and the car sat in storage. The first inspection of the car required shovels to clear the accumulated dirt from in front of the garage door. After making a deal the remaining debris was cleared away and the car left in its 'as found' appearance.
Under the hood the original 428 CJ has some 'Day 2' modifications like aftermarket valve covers, factory Ford Dual Point Distributor, chrome air cleaner, a block heater for those Montana mornings and headers. The original pieces are no longer with the car but are readily available since they were not specific to the Talladega.
The decision was made to make the car run to confirm condition of the drivetrain. To do this the cylinders were lubricated, oil changed, engine pre-oiled, fuel tank cleaned out and fuel changed. The engine fired up incredibly easy and while it could definitely use a tune up, it does run without any signs of serious mechanical engine issues. We did also replace the master cylinder to make the car mobile to lot drive. The tires are old and weather checked but do hold air (2 went flat after a week). The transmission shifts correctly. So mechanically the car is currently functioning. It would be best to do a full inspection and decide on your own the best way to proceed.
The body is straight and lines up well. I don't see any signs of rust in the panels. At some point very early on the car was in a front end collision. From what I can see the front end was replaced with pieces from another Talladega. The hood and fenders were previously Royal Maroon and have a single repaint in the Wimbledon White. The rest of the car has only been white. Again, the panels line up well, the doors shut nicely and visibly it is not obvious the car isn't all original. The correct brackets, panels, bumpers, grill, and seals are all there for the Aero Nose. These are extremely hard to find parts and are a cornerstone of the value of this car.
Inside the black bench seat interior is is surprisingly good condition. The cloth seat obviously has some splits but the original panels are in-tact and are in great condition. Thankfully the owner had the for-thought to place copious amounts of moth balls in the car. Not only did they keep any moths out, mice don't like it either so there doesn't appear to be any signs of them.
This car sits at a cross roads. Do you wash it and clean it up a bit and sport a 'Survivor' or do you pull it down to the uni-body and go for a full restoration?

Q: Random number generator does not work I am trying to create a random number in Python. For some reason the code shown below does not work.
import random
print random.random()

I receive the following error:

invalid syntax

If anyone has any pointers, I will greatly appreciate it.
P.S. The above code works on some computers (2 out of 30 in a room).

A: If python 3 is being used, then print is a function and must be called like
print (random.random())

This would also explain why the code works on two computers. They might be running a different version of python.

Scholarship Master Class With Isabelle Demers
On April 18, 2015, twenty-four individuals attended the masterclass for Southeast Minnesota chapter's scholarship students. Isabelle Demers, Professor and Head of the Organ Program at Baylor University, Waco, Texas, was our guest instructor. Four enthusiastic students had the opportunity to play a piece for Professor Demers. The selections played by the students were: Toccata in B Minor by Eugène Gigout, Antiphon from First Suite by Calvin Hampton, Prelude in A Minor, BWV 543 by J. S. Bach, and Epitaphe (24 Pièces en style libre, Op. 31) by Louis Vierne. She was kind, encouraging and insightful in her instruction. As a chapter, we are grateful to Professor Demers for this instructional time with these students.
A special thanks to the J. Isabelle Dyck Fund of the Rochester Area Foundation facilitated by the Southeast Minnesota Chapter of the American Guild of Organists for supporting these chapter students. With deserved respect, we thank our dedicated instructors, Lee J. Afdahl, Andrew Galuska and Brian Williams, for their fine work with these students. Finally, in gratitude we thank Lee J. Afdahl and First Presbyterian Church, Rochester, MN for hosting this chapter event.

Princess Angharad swallowed the apple pip by mistake, she felt it slipping down her throat and tumbling down inside her. She ran up the stone steps to her bedroom in the tower, to take off her clothes. She hung up her pink blouse, folded the skirt onto the chair, and stood in her petticoat, her fingers rubbing her belly, feeling for swelling. It was already starting to happen. She could feel the seedling stirring inside, rising up from the compost of lunch. She cried then, thinking of the tree that would sprout, branches pushing out of her nostrils, her ears, from under her fingernails, children snatching apples from her branches.
The door opened, it was Mari, she had heard the Princess' whines from her room under the stairs. Mari knew how to get rid of it, her cousin had helped her once, after she had swallowed an avocado stone. She made Princess Angharad lie down on the floor like a stiff starfish. She bent over and pressed her ear to the Princess' naked belly, listened to the gurgling and pulsing inside. Then she moved her head down and looked up the little hole that she found there, searching for the young tree with her eyes, her tongue, her longest finger.

we took the long way from the powell station by accident. unseasonably warm in the city, we were almost sweating by the time we found the entrance. a bustle of people smiling and asking for cards or email addresses. i'm not sure what i expected.
in some ways it was a throw back to the job fairs i worked as a peace corps recruiter. only now i'm on the other side of the table, waiting patiently – not for a job, but for more inforamtion on the volunteer and board opportunities bay area orgs have to offer.
the clarence foundation was my main interest. looking for board members, they were posted on volunteer match. a few other places caught my attention and they all mentioned today's fair. so after guilting my friend SL into it, we ventured over to the city and wandered around looking at the myriad of ways we could make a difference…big and small.
national radio project and hify and a mass of others that struck or didn't strike my immediate fancy. and they seemed interested. of course only time will tell. are we well matched, do times work out, are my skills useful? but the idea makes me feel good…focusing on life outside myself.
i had similar feelings in 2007, when i was looking for a job and suffering from heartbreak…my friend and volunteer life coach told me then to think about what made me happy…what allowed me to have perspective. and then, as now, one of the answers is living beyond myself – ignoring the call of narcissism (at least the wallowing kind…not necessarily the blogging kind).
and so i hope to be volunteering and/or "boarding" by february. a new challenge and a new way to look and be beyond myself…i guess we'll see.

Here's what people have been saying:
"I was absolutely blown away! Not only is the system innovative and really well thought-out, but the presentation is very slick and professional."
"Sci-Fi games are hard to pull off, and even harder to do very well, and E.N. Publishing has set a new bar for content, dice mechanics, and playability."
"This is the best sci-fi toolbox system I've ever used. You can build a very wide range of universes, or multiverses, with N.E.W. A GM can choose what technology advancement level everyone has access to, choose where on the scale of hard/soft sci-fi the game will be, decide if psionics or cybernetics are present, and set the PC species and careers to make whatever they want. You can really make the game your own."
"I highly recommend this game for roleplayers. I have run the game frequently with a group and the system is efficient and allows for fast and exciting action scenes without being over complicated. It is this fast learning curve and versatility that captures the essence of a true science fiction roleplaying game."
"TLDR: Really awesome game! If you have the slightest interest in sci fi, pick it up and have a look!"
"I've played several RPGs and this one has my favorite character creation system. As you layer on the various options you get a real feel for the character and its history. I've never played a game that got me that involved and invested with a character even before play begins."
"This book is a fantastic read, and provides enough options and information to be useful in almost any sci-fi space setting. But better still, the material invokes a sense of nostalgia for so many space-based books, movies, and tv series. As a sci-fi buff, and a bit of a science geek, I loved reading through this for the detail, as well as the mood setting of it's examples of play."
Scott N May 02, 2019 11:12 am UTC
Nevermind I just noticed you raised the price $20 from the last book I bought, talk about sneaky.
Russ M May 02, 2019 7:32 pm UTC
I'm sorry, I don't quite understand the question? The book's price has not changed. The PDF is currently on sale at $10 but if you bought if before you can download the updated version for free.
Scott N April 25, 2019 7:22 pm UTC
Is there a discount for those who bought the Hardback before v1.2?
Jeffrey R July 09, 2018 6:11 pm UTC
Thank you to the creator for responding to my review. I apologize and stand corrected in regards to the word "inbuilt".
However, you did not address ***any of the other concerns I posted*** and failed to understand what I said about the vehicles - I did not say the rules for them were missing, I said that their descriptions and combat stats are missing.
Jeffrey R June 19, 2018 5:18 pm UTC
Received my print copy today.Looks good except for the small, 1" gouge under Russ Morrisey's name.
Mario G February 15, 2018 10:12 am UTC
Does the new 1.2 version include better bookmarking? I find the OLD core has great bookmarks, but NEW is a bit lacking and causing some issues for me
Matteo T November 20, 2017 1:06 pm UTC
Hi, two question:
1) what are the changes (additional material) in version 1.2?
2) the are discount option for those who have purchased the pod version of the 1.1? i don't mind the errata, but 1.2 have 22 pages more than the old one...
Russ M November 20, 2017 4:11 pm UTC
Hey Mattel,
There is an errata file on the official website which you can use as a changelog. Additionally, we added two EONS articles (some new weapons and some new armour).
The PDF upgrade is completely free. As yet there is no hardcover version. That's planned though.
Joseph P July 26, 2017 11:36 pm UTC
I bought the pdf to check it out, and now I think I'd like the hardcover. Any way to get that discounted to reflect previous purchase of the pdf?
(Same question for O.L.D.)
Russ M August 04, 2017 11:56 pm UTC
The hardcover is currently discounted by $20.
Erik Z March 28, 2019 8:26 am UTC
I don't think that this is a useful answer to the original question.
It would indeed be helpful if money spent on the PDF would be discounted when buying the physical copy later.
Concrete example: I got interested in the WOIN system, and normally, I simply would have bought the PDFs for ALL the major books in one go. But I'm reluctant since I'm paying twice for them if I later decide to buy the hardcovers as well (which I normally do if I like the system). So guess what - I only bought one book right now, which is probably bad for me and bad for the publishers...
How come Its not discounted to $20 for me as I bought version before this one in hardcover and pdf?
Jacob D July 23, 2017 9:46 am UTC
I just purchased this system and have been reading through it very excitedly. However, I was a little unsure at first because of the 3 star review on this site. After reading the PDF, I can certainly say to anyone trying to determine whether it not to buy N.E.W. that that particular review was written by someone who doesn't seem to have read the rules correctly on more than a few subjects.
Brian J April 21, 2017 11:41 pm UTC
Hey, I have a (very small) issue with the pdf. The artwork/pictures throughout the file seem to be of pretty low quality (low resolution files, I guess?). Even when completly zoomed out, so I can see the full page, I can see blurry spots and make out the pixels in the pictures. I do not have this problem with any other RPG pdf, not even with the one for O.L.D. which I bought together with this one...
Konrad Z April 21, 2017 12:18 am UTC
Where is teh EONS article "Resolve: Horror, Sanity, & Social Combat" The description text above says its inluded in the price but I'm only seeing one PDF after I purchased.
Is there any chance of a Printer friendly version of the PDF. Something without the backgrounds / border art, and page numbers in a black font.
Phil M October 25, 2016 3:46 am UTC
As I read it, you need to buy hardcover to get all the books bundled. Is that right?
Russ M October 25, 2016 9:43 am UTC
Or the PDF of the hardcover.
Stacie W October 20, 2016 2:33 am UTC
I got my physical copy in the mail and I am impressed at how good the standard printing is. It's nearly as good as the premium printing. In a way I couldn't really tell the difference when I set this book down next to a premium color book I had already gotten from here. The color turned out extremely well.
The only thing is that the overall look and quality of the physical book itself is marred by someone dropping my book and it landing right on the bottom corner of the book, squishing the corners in and making it all wrinkly. It's apparent that somebody dropped the book after it got printed. Even my copy of the Starship Construction Manual I ordered along with this book is marred in the same way.
Russ M October 20, 2016 10:40 am UTC
I asked DTRPG about what to do when a customer's book is damaged and they said this:
If you have any customers who are reporting the books damaged, have them contact Customer Service at: http://support.drivethrurpg.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Customer Service will need to work with the customers in shipping replacement copies.
So that's the first step. If that doesn't resolve it quickly, please do let me know, though.
Bobby J October 24, 2016 8:16 pm UTC
Write them, send pictures(if you haven't already) in your report. The customer support for printed material is fantastic. I've had a couple of books get damaged due to Lightning Source not packaging it enough, but the CSR's are understanding and work with you to replace your damaged one with a new one. Well worth it and one of the reasons I keep buying POD material from them.
Benjamin R October 10, 2016 2:00 pm UTC
Does the PDF include the other rulebooks (e.g. Future Careers, Equipment, Space, etc.?)
Russ M October 10, 2016 2:25 pm UTC
This book includes Future Careers, Future Equipment, Future Core, Space, and Building a Universe.
Joseph R October 11, 2016 10:18 pm UTC
So just to make sure I'm getting this straight; this Book/PDF containing within itself the collective works of rulebooks of Future Careers, Equipment, Space, etc?
Russ M October 11, 2016 10:50 pm UTC
That is correct. This hardcover book includes the existing WOIN rulebooks Future Careers, Future Equipment, Future Core, Space, and Building a Universe.
Thanks, Russ. I have purchased your RPG book.
Lee S October 07, 2016 5:53 pm UTC
Just a quick note, I recommend subscribing to ENP's 'EON' Digital Magazine for WOIN on patreon! There is additional content for their games added on a regular basis, i.e. Adventures, additional starships, new races, new android upgrades, etc.
Love the SciFi stuff Guys, keep it coming!!
John B October 10, 2016 5:15 pm UTC

All vehicles and personnel utilized by the towing contractor to execute the work under this chapter shall have the above-prescribed coverage.
Each towing contractor will indemnify and hold harmless the Township, to the extent permitted by law, from any and all claims for personal injury or property damage against the Township arising out of the operation of said towing contractor's towing or storage services under this chapter. The contractor will further defend the Township at the towing contractor's expense, in connection with any claim, demand, suit or action brought against the Township arising out of any services performed under this chapter.

When traveling or camping, you don't always have to stop or do your business everywhere. This emergency urine bag works like a portable urinal, very practical in all circumstances.
Not everyone is a fan of urinating in the wild. And even for those who don't mind, circumstances may not allow it. Hence the interest of this disposable urine bag, an accessory designed primarily for campers, but very practical for everyone. The applications of this bag are numerous: in public transport, in the car, in a crowded place or in any other place where you cannot do your business in an ordinary toilet.
This emergency urine bag is named after him. It is an emergency accessory only and in fact offers a rather limited level of comfort and ergonomics. This model is unisex. Beyond its flat appearance, this bag has a relatively large opening when you press on both sides. You will have no trouble getting your urine in any position.
This disposable urine bag is completely waterproof. Most importantly, it has a special material that absorbs urine, which solidifies in minutes. After use, you can store it in another bag or carry it safely to a discharge area or toilet. Its upper side is equipped with an automatic closing mechanism. Simply lightly press the head of the bag to activate this safety device. You do not risk overflows and leaks.

Welcome to Paraguay's 'Wild West,' a bastion for bootleggers, organized crime, and maybe even Islamic extremists
Will Carless
Ciudad del Este has a flourishing contraband industry. (STRINGER/PARAGUAY/X01499/Reuters/Corbis)
This is one bizarre place.
Eastern Paraguay's Ciudad del Este, meaning "City of the East," is the de-facto capital of the Tri-Border Area, where Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil meet.
But South Americans know it more as a sort of Wild West — a place where the rule of law matters little and where drugs, arms and counterfeit goods arrive by the ton.
Home to about 300,000 people, it's also served as a refuge for anyone from drug traffickers to bootleggers and, as GlobalPost recently discovered, an alleged predator priest.
This place needs to be on everyone's radar. Here are eight reasons why.
1. It's home to a massive piracy industry ...
The piracy trade's been bustling in Paraguay for decades. Last year, Paraguay was named one of 13 "notorious markets" worldwide engaged in counterfeiting and copyright piracy in a report by the Office of the United States Trade Representative, the agency that advises the president on trade policy.
The International Intellectual Property Alliance also highlighted Paraguay as a global scoundrel in the piracy trade. Software piracy alone in the country was estimated to be worth $73 million in 2012, according to the organization.
Professor James Cooper of California Western School of Law in San Diego, who has extensively researched intellectual property violations in Paraguay, estimated the full value of Ciudad del Este's piracy trade as far higher.
"Illicit unregulated financial activities make up an alarming part of Paraguay's economy," Cooper wrote in an email. "The country and its people deserve better."
Pirated goods are everywhere in Ciudad del Este. From the ubiquitous DVD stands to cheap knock-offs of European soccer shirts, phonies with names like "Bolex" stare out from all corners.
2. ... which the Paraguayan government does little to nothing about ...
The White House's trade representative made a scathing assessment of the South American country's efforts to quell piracy.
"The situation in Ciudad del Este has not improved over the past year or even the past decade," the representative's 2013 report states.
The International Intellectual Property Alliance report goes into more detail. The Paraguayan government has comprehensively failed to tackle both the production of pirated goods within Paraguay, or woeful customs enforcement at the borders with Brazil and Argentina at Ciudad de Este, the alliance says. Immediate change is "sorely needed," it concludes.
3. ... and which helps to fund organized crime
The links between piracy and organized crime in Ciudad del Este have been known for decades.
A 2003 report by the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress said the Tri-Border Area, or TBA, was an ideal location for organized crime.
"The TBA provides a haven that is geographically, socially, economically, and politically highly conducive for allowing organized crime and the corrupt officials who accept their bribes or payoffs," the report reads.
As in much of Latin America, the piracy, counterfeiting and money laundering operations in Ciudad del Este are largely under the control of organized crime groups, the report states.
As such, it concludes, millions if not billions of dollars a year are funneled from the city to crime syndicates.

4. It's also a haven for drug runners ...
Paraguay is a major source of illegal narcotics for much of southern South America.
According to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime's 2010 World Drug Report, Paraguay is the world's second-largest marijuana producer after Mexico, and Ciudad del Este is a transportation hub for drugs entering and leaving South America.
Paraguay's counternarcotics agency reported last year that drug seizures in the country were up by 39 percent. Still, the nation remains susceptible to serious corruption. Those busts only account for a small portion of the illegal drugs originating in, and passing through, Paraguay,according to the United States Embassy in Asuncion.
5. ... and human traffickers ...
The U.S. State Department's 2013 Trafficking in Persons Report names Paraguay as "a source country for women and children subjected to sex trafficking, and for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor."
Ciudad del Este is a likely trafficking point, according to the U.S. Embassy.
While the Paraguayan government has made some steps toward combating human trafficking, it's still not even close to being in full compliance with global standards, the State Department says.
6. ... and even priests accused of molestation
As we've been reporting, Ciudad del Este even has problems within its churches.
In spite of numerous warnings, the city's diocese offered a top post to Carlos Urrutigoity, a priest accused of molesting young seminarians in the United States. Last month, the Vatican ordered him removed.
But that's not all. This sin city was also the last hideout for Aldo Omar Vara, an infamous former priest from Argentina who is accused of torturing prisoners during that country's dictatorship.
7. It might be home to fundraisers for radical Islamic militants ...
Numerous reports over the years have said Ciudad del Este is a bastion for extremist Islamic groups such as Hezbollah.
A 2009 book published by the RAND Corporation, Film Piracy, Organized Crime, and Terrorism, states that in 2004 a Ciudad del Este-based criminal, Assad Ahmad Barakat, was named by intelligence agencies as the key financier for Hezbollah in Latin America.
"The total value of the enterprise is difficult to estimate, but according to intelligence agencies, Barakat provided, and still provides, a large part of the $20 million sent annually from the TBA to finance Hezbollah," the book states.
That $20 million would account for about one-fifth of Hezbollah's annual budget.
8. ... though it also might not
Several media sources have built on the RAND book and other reports to paint Ciudad del Este as a terrorist hotbed.
But a May 2013 report by Al Jazeera heaped scorn on these accounts.
The Al Jazeera story accused other journalists of hysteria and of manufacturing links between Ciudad del Este and terrorism for the sake of headlines.
"A flourishing contraband industry does not indicate the presence of an Islamic terror den," wrote Belen Fernandez, a columnist and author of books such as Coffee with Hezbollah.
"Nor does potential ideological or financial support among TBA residents for Hezbollah — selectively designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by virtue of its effective opposition to U.S.-Israeli designs in the Middle East — suggest that the personal security of U.S. citizens is at risk."

One day, on a shoplifting spree, she meets Rachel (Sophie Reid) and the possibility of happiness, love and a future starts to emerge. But her pain goes deep and as the demons within her begin to surface, she wonders if she can allow herself to hope.

Obama says USA has world's biggest and best cyber arsenal
Calls for new world no-hack order so we can fight the real bad guys – criminals
By Simon Sharwood 6 Sep 2016 at 06:00
United States president Barack Obama says the nation he leads has the world's foremost digital arsenal.
Speaking at a press conference after meeting Russian president Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in China, Obama said "We have had problems with cyber intrusions from Russia in the past, from other countries in the past."
He went on to say "we are moving into a new area where a number of countries have significant capacities. And frankly we have more capacity than any other country, both offensively and defensively." Which rather contradicts recent analysis of the USA's zero-day trove as rather small. Or means other nations have tiny zero-day hoards.
Back to Obama's speech, which continued "But our goal is not, in the cyber arena, to suddenly duplicate a cycle of escalation that we saw when it comes to other arms races in the past," Obama added. Instead, he hopes "to start instituting some norms so that everyone is acting responsibly."
He favours that approach because "We are going to have enough problems in cyberspace with non-state actors who are engaging in theft and using the internet for all sorts of illicit practices." The president therefore said "protecting our critical infrastructure and making sure that our financial systems are sound" are going to be priorities.
"What we cannot do is have a situation in which this becomes the wild, wild west where countries that have significant cyber capacity start engaging in competition, unhealthy competition or conflict, through these means, when wisely we put in place some norms when it comes to using other weapons."
Obama said such norms have "been a topic of convo with president Putin as it has been with other countries," then concluded by saying "We have started to get some willingness with a lot of countries around the world to adopt these norms but we have got to make sure we are observing them."
One example of Obama's hoped for world cyber order could be the US/China no hack pact signed in 2015, but quickly called into question. Other no hack pacts cover Germany and China, China and the UK and the USA and Australia.
Critics say such pacts look great on paper, but exempt businesses and therefore lack teeth because China operates a great many state-owned enterprises with security functions. The USA even runs a venture capital company, In-Q-Tel, established by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) specifically to to find useful tech for the intelligence community.
Absent any detail from Obama on the new world cyber order he's imagined, it looks like there are loopholes a-plenty allowing online operations to carry on even while pacts apply. ®

UPMC to Host Concussion Conference
Pittsburgh, August 18, 2015 -- Nearly 30 leading, independent concussion clinicians and researchers from around the United States will convene at UPMC Oct. 15 and 16 with a unique purpose: to propose standard guidelines on the best practices, protocols and active therapies for treating concussions today, resulting in a white paper to be published in a medical journal and shared nationwide.
For the first time in the relatively infant science of concussion, U.S. experts are coming together to discuss what the UPMC organizers call Targeted Evaluation and Active Management (TEAM) Approaches to Treating Concussion. Representatives from the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Defense, among others, also have been invited to participate.
"There's a gaping need for a consistency of care for concussions across the country, if not the world. To try to fill that void, we're thrilled to host a meeting of some of the greatest minds in concussion science and clinical care," said Micky Collins, PhD, executive and clinical director of the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program and the chairman of the conference to be held at the U.S. Steel Tower in Pittsburgh, headquarters to UPMC. "It is a privilege to bring together such a group, discuss the issues truly facing concussion health care today, and attempt to share with caregivers everywhere what we find to be the best evidence, science and practices in getting people better."
The white paper is intended to make scientific, clinical and therapy recommendations for other health care providers to replicate and researchers to study further.
Over the past decade, there have been summits and conferences abroad where participants agreed upon definitions, evaluations and on-field protocols, but this marks the inaugural U.S. meeting focused strictly on active therapies, treatments and best clinical practices for concussions.
"Never before has evidence-based science and clinical experience been brought to bear in advancing concussion treatment like we're attempting here," said Anthony Kontos, PhD, research director for the UPMC Concussion Program, associate professor in the University of Pittsburgh Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, and co-director of the meeting. "We believe that this meeting will bring together cutting-edge research knowledge and clinical approaches to this injury that will blaze a trail for concussion treatment moving forward."
The invitees cut across academic, scientific and health care environments. Among those expected to attend are Julian Bailes, MD, NorthShore University Health System (Chicago) and chairman of the medical advisory board for Pop Warner Football, and retired Gen. Peter Chiarelli, former U.S. Army vice chief of staff and an outspoken leader in research and treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI), mild TBI such as concussion, and post-traumatic stress.
"There have been numerous advances in our understanding of concussion treatment, and this conference should facilitate the implementation of best practices to make participation in all sports safe," Dr. Bailes said.
"I am honored to be among this group of leading concussion clinicians and researchers for a meeting that will be a critical step forward in the standard of care for concussions," Gen. Chiarelli said. "A published consensus statement on concussion treatment will give every patient the opportunity to receive the best care, no matter where they are injured. It's time to put aside our differences, collaborate and work together for the sake of patients everywhere."
Added conference co-director David Okonkwo, MD, PhD, professor of neurological surgery and clinical director of the Brain Trauma Research Center at the Pitt School of Medicine: "It is high time to assemble neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuropsychologists, emergency medicine physicians, physiatrists, athletic trainers, physical therapists and all the multidisciplinary health care professionals who are the primary caregivers to people, and not just athletes, troubled by concussions. Let's effect change and improve outcomes now and for the future."
UPMC received support to host this meeting because it is aligned with Pittsburgh's long-standing place at the center of the field: the first sports-medicine concussion program to open its doors (2000), a leading institution in concussion research and innovation, and a model clinic with successful assessment, treatment and outcomes amid its nearly 18,000 concussion-patient visits yearly.
"We are fortunate that we have this opportunity to carry out this idea of spreading better care practices and ultimately helping so many," Dr. Collins said. "We are looking forward to a wide-ranging, stimulating discussion that is overdue, and we feel our science, innovation and clinical experience make us well suited to serve as hosts.
The two-day meeting is fully funded by a grant from the NFL Foundation.
"Because of the vital nature of the concussion conversation, it's critical to support leading institutions in the country, like UPMC, that are promoting science in an effort to advance treatment, evidence and clinical experience," said Charlotte Jones Anderson, chair of the NFL Foundation and executive vice president of the Dallas Cowboys. "The NFL Foundation is dedicated to improving the health and safety of sports, youth football and the communities in which we live, and we look forward to learning from the experts who will meet in October to further that mission."
The conference will conclude with a panel discussion and media availability that is expected to be streamed live.

Spring times are pretty symbolic with renewal - A time for us to freshen and rejuvenate ourselves and our homes. Our bathrooms, which are the most visited places at our homes, shouldn't be left to muddle with dirt and germs. That's why we believe that there is no better place to start spring cleaning than our bathrooms. It's neither that easy nor an exciting thing to do, but it definitely is a rewarding chore which will surely refresh your mood. Read along and see how to spring clean your bathroom, making it thoroughly tidy.
Before we start cleaning the bathroom, the first thing to note is to clear off any unnecessary clutter. You know this step would been much easy if you already have a daily bathroom cleaning routine. But we are not starting this as a major 'sorting' and 'organization' process. Instead, we are doing a simple 'move' of clearing off things that don't belong to the bathroom space anymore.
So, let's start with the countertop, tossing off any unnecessary or expired items in the trash. Take a bin or basket to put away things that don't belong there and a garbage bag for things to be collected. Using an organizer such as a shower caddy is highly recommended.
Once your countertop is cleaned, we now move to the cabinets. The bathroom cabinet sadly becomes a place for hoarding needless items, and, because it has a door, we are more than happy to shut it closed, conveniently forgetting the garbage being stored.
Your countertop only needs to have the most needed things up there.
Besides that, it is also completely out of our immediate sight, due to which we neglect it and have no intention of clearing it out. As a result, the mess starts to go overboard with misplaced items, dirty leaks, and messy surfaces. So how do we tidy them up?
Begin with emptying the contents of the drawers and cabinets. Once done, spread them all out on the floor, making it easy to sort and place them in their rightful place – the garbage bin or a basket to store, you decide. With all the clutter done away with, we now get to the step of actual cleaning.
Vacuum the insides of your cabinet now that all the contents are cleared out. Any scraps of paper, hair, dust, or makeup will easily come off. If you find yourself staring at some sticky or gooey mess, chin up and make use of a scraper.
The leaked spill can be anything – from your shampoo, conditioner, or wax, and can be pretty stubborn given the time and nature of spill. So, instead of using a sponge, a scraper will be handier and efficient in scraping it out.
With all dirt and debris removed, take a good microfiber cloth and add a tinge of soap or vinegar and wipe the surface. Similarly, clean other hardware such as the knobs and hinges.
Now that your cabinets are tidy, wipe the collected items and store them inside properly. In order to prevent future hoarding and messy spills, invest in a few bins and a shower organizer. The containers will not only hold your toiletries and accessories separate, but they also look great and are time-saving to clean.
You can also fashion out old shoe boxes and baskets as organizers. Naturally, combs and dryers can be placed in baskets while conditioners and shampoos, which can accidentally spill, can be placed in plastic containers.
A genius idea is to use a shower organizer such as the ShowerGem Shower Caddy to store all your bath essentials in a single place. Hated suction cups? Fret not, the simple and elegantly designed bath caddy is quite easy to install without drilling with the help of a powerful glue. What's more; spring cleaning your bathroom just gets a whole lot easier when using the ShowerGem, as they can be conveniently clipped on/off the wall.
An all-purpose cleaner spray can come in handy when cleaning the countertops and vanity. Spray a good amount of the cleaner on the countertop and the sink. In fact, a solution of dish-washing liquid and water will also do. However, avoid vinegar as it can affect your counter surface, especially if it is granite.
Then, take a wet rag using it to gently rub the counter, removing stains and reaching every nook and corner. When cleaning the basin, scrub in a circular motion starting from the top to the bottom. Once done, rinse off the soap and wipe both the basin and counter with a clean dry cloth.
It isn't exactly cleaning the bathroom when you leave your vanity with a dusty and spotty mirror! In little less than 5 minutes of your time, you can have a tidy and sparkling mirror.
All you have to do is use spray a glass cleaner liquid or a solution of dishwashing liquid and water on your mirror. Then, take a clean and soft cloth to wipe off any white or dirty spots that form on the mirror.
With faucets, there are two things that you need to check. First, if your faucet looks dull having lost its shine, take a cloth spritzed with cleaning liquid and gently scrub the surface. If it is metallic in nature, you can even use a bit of vinegar. After which take a soft cloth and wipe it off clean.
Second, check if the faucet isn't clogged and the water pours freely. There may be some mineral or dust in your water that can lead to a residual build-up on its head, affecting your water flow.
Take a solution of water and vinegar with a 1:1 ratio in a plastic bag and fasten it around your faucet (the aerator part where water comes out). Leave it overnight and voila! You will find that the scum of mineral particles have all cleared away.
The next big thing to clean is the shower and tub area. Take a good cleaner; more convenient if it's available in the form of a spray, and spread it evenly over the surfaces, covering the shower area, the surrounding walls, shower head, shower caddy, etc. Let it sit for a good 10-15 minutes or as stipulated by the instructions on the bottle. Later, splash it down with a good amount of water and wipe it clean.
You can also make your own cleaner liquid by taking a mixture of 1:1 proportion of dishwashing detergent and vinegar. Pour the mixture and take a good scrubber, see to it that it is not too rugged as it may scratch the ceramic finish of your bath.
Nicely scrub the surface to remove any residue or soapsuds. For better cleaning, especially when dealing with stubborn dirt and grime, run a hot shower for a minute or so prior cleaning. The hot steam will loosen up the dirt clinging on to the walls or tub which then can be easily scrubbed away. After that, follow the previous procedure of cleaning – spray the cleaner and rinse it off. You can also clean the ShowerGem caddy in a similar manner.
Cleaning the toilet can be a task which many of us dislike and get annoyed with. Talk about the risk of splashes!! No one wants to get a spill of that water, clean or not. But worry not, as there is a simple trick that can guarantee you minimal to no splash. Simply pull the flush before you start cleaning. The flush will make the water level much below the original state, thereby, preventing any accidental spillage. And also, the water is now clean.
Take your toilet brush and plunge in down the hole, nicely scrubbing the dirt. Pour some toilet cleaner or bleach and scrub the inside of the toilet bowl, especially the underside of the rim and the siphon. Let it sit for some time, say around 10-15 minutes, and rinse it off.
Instead of cleaning liquids, you also use pellets when giving your toilet bowl a spring clean. Simply drop them and use your toilet brush to scrub the surface. There are also little bars which can be added to the flush tank, which will keep your toilet clean and disinfected with every flush. They work for up to 5 months while continually disinfecting and deodorizing your sanitary ware keeping them clean and tidy.
Check for dirt behind the toilet, below the knobs, near the wall, and on top of the flush. If there are stubborn stains below the toilet seat, lift the cap and remove the cover by unscrewing it. Once done, you can clean the bottom of the seat thoroughly. The hard-to-reach places can be a bit irritating, but this is where a steam cleaner can come in handy.
A steam cleaner can work efficiently to clean every spot on the toilet bowl without trouble. But if you don't have one, simply take a toothbrush and a mix of vinegar and water or bleach, and get those areas around the base of the toilet. You can also fashion out a spray with a paste of baking soda and water – just spray on the unclean areas and let it dry. Then use vinegar and wipe it off, using a wet rag.
With your toilet interior cleaned and scrubbed to every inch, you may think that you are done. Nope, there is another area you've missed. Many of us tend to ignore the toilet exterior, but it needs your attention equally. You can get a variety of cleaning solutions that are available in the market. Spray the exterior of the toilet with the cleaner and scrub away any lingering dirt. Rinse off the surface and wipe it clean with a dry rag.
That concludes some of our proven bathroom spring cleaning tips. With it, we're sure that your bathroom cleaning will not only be better but also thoroughly tidy and easy-to-follow.
