Decoding the Iran Nuclear Deal
Gary Samore

Read more about Decoding the Iran Nuclear Deal
On April 2, 2015, the E.U. (speaking on behalf of the P5+1 countries) and Iran announced agreement on "key parameters" for a comprehensive agreement on Iran's nuclear program. The E.U.-Iran Joint Statement is buttressed by unilateral facts sheets issued by the U.S. and Iran, which provide further details of the framework accord. Negotiators now turn to translating this framework accord into a final comprehensive agreement by June 30, 2015. Members of Congress and their staffs, as well as informed citizens, are now focusing on the Iranian challenge and assessing the framework accord. The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School has prepared this Policy Brief summarizing key facts, core concepts, and major arguments for and against the current deal aimed at stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The purpose of this Policy Brief is not to advocate support for or opposition to the tentative deal that has been negotiated, but rather to provide an objective, nonpartisan summary to inform Members and others in coming to their own conclusions. The team of experts who prepared this report includes Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and internationals, who have many disagreements among themselves but who agree that this Brief presents the essentials objectively.

Most men hang their suit trousers or dress slacks over a bar on the hanger their suit or sport coat came on. That's fine, but there is a much better way. Using a clip hanger such as shown, clip the trousers from the bottom and hang them upside down from the cuff. Hanging this way, the weight of the trouser which is mostly in the waist and seat area pulls on the cloth and releases the wrinkles over night. I find this saves me many, many pressings, and I use this method all the time.
There are no iron clad rules here, but there are general practices. Men that wear pleated trousers in general tend to like cuffs. Men that wear flat front trousers and especially the trimmer models of today almost always wear plain bottoms. Young men who like the very skinny trousers wear them quite short with plain bottoms and sometimes with a wide 2 inch or more wide cuff.
The degree of narrowing of the lapels in general has to do with the shoulder width or point to point. In the case of the classic cut suit the overall coat is cut smaller than a few years ago, but still keeping the classic look. Hence the lapels got narrower to keep the balance of the coat. On the modern cut coats the entire look is new and smaller in the shoulders, armhole, and chest. The lapels are in proportion to the coat with lapels in a 2 1/2" to 2 ¾" wide.
When we measure for a shirt collar size on a custom shirt, we take a measurement right against your skin. Then we add ½" to that measurement. The reason is you should be able to put several fingers inside the collar with the collar buttoned. That allows for a comfortable collar and still will look correct against your neck. Today's better ready to wear dress shirts allow for this extra ¼ to ½ inch.
Dry cleaning – don't overdo it.
COPIED FROM NET - There is no right answer here; an architect who wears a sports jacket to the job site in Orlando is going to soil his jacket much faster than a computer engineer wearing the same jacket in the Bay Area. My guidance here is when brushing, spot cleaning, and airing out no longer do the trick….take the wool garment into a quality cleaner. Dry clean when you must, not on a set schedule that will strip and weaken the wool fibers and damage their ability to crimp, thus unnecessarily aging the garment.

Watch Kanye West debut a new song in Manila
Last Saturday, Kanye West played his first live concert of 2016 in Manila, headlining Paradise International Music Festival in the Philippines. Since the show, multiple videos of Kanye's performance have been uploaded online, which includes renditions of tracks from 'The Life of Pablo', 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy', and Pop Style, one of Drake's new singles that he and Jay Z guest on as The Throne.
Yesterday, footage of a previously unheard song tentatively titled I Don't Want To Be Liked has surfaced. A piano-led, autotune-heavy freestyle, you can hear Kanye singing lines such as "I got my own vision and make my own decisions/ And don't ask for permission, and I am on a mission," before it transitions into Runaway.

Churu est une ville de la région du district de Churu, dans l'État du Rajasthan, en Inde. Elle est connue comme porte d'entrée du désert du Thar.

C'est le siège administratif du District de Churu.
La ville est accessible par la route nationale 65 reliant Pali à Ambala. Elle constitue une station de jonction sur la ligne de chemin de fer allant à Bikaner.

Près de la ville se trouve un siège religieux de la secte Nath des Sadhus, où se trouvent des statues en marbre de leurs divinités et un lieu de prière.

Au centre de la ville se trouve un fort construit il y a environ 500 ans.

La ville est réputée pour ses grandes havelîs ou Hawelis (nom donné en Inde aux grandes demeures, petits palais ou maisons de maître construits en encorbellement très décorés, parfois fortifiés que l'on trouve au Râjasthân et au Goujerat.

Géographie et climat

La ville est organisée autour de Kalera Bass et entoure de nombreuses régions telles que Chandani Chowk, Adarsh-Nagar, Balmiki Basti, Mochiwarah et Subhash Chowk.

Proche des dunes de sable mouvantes du désert du Thar (où l'on trouve aussi quelques collines calcaires) la ville est soumise à un climat extrême, avec des alternances de gel en hiver et de pics de chaleur intenses en été ; la température a par exemple atteint 50,3 degrés en , un record (de mémoire d'homme).

Churu est construite a une altitude moyenne de 292 m (958 ft). Elle est entourée de grandes dunes de sable mouvantes, mal fixées par une végétation de milieux arides facilement surpâturée.
Les arbustes sont les Phoge et le Kair (Capparis decidua aussi dénommé Karira), les arbres sont les Khejri ou Khejra (Prosopis cineraria), le Royara et le Babul qui sont adaptés aux dunes de sable.

Les pluies tombent principalement de juin à septembre.

Histoire
Fondé vers l'an 1120 par le clan Nirban de Rajputs, ce lieu était une oasis située au milieu des dunes de sable dorées, ouvrant sur les pistes du désert du Thar. Il aurait été nommé Churu en l'honneur du nom « Chauhans » dans la région de l'Etat du Jangladesh. Il fut par la suite dirigé par les chauhans rajputs. Lors de la guerre de 1871, la région passa sous la domination de Bikaner.

Avant l'indépendance de l'Inde (1947), cette région faisait partie de l'État de Bikaner.
Le district a été créé en 1948 et comprenait trois tehsils - Churu, Rajgarh et Taranagar, lors de la réorganisation de l'administration de l'État de Bikaner.
Il y a maintenant six tehsils, comprenant Churu, Sadulpur, Ratangarh, Sujangarh, Sardarsahar et Taranagar.

Administration

Environ 6 Tehsils se trouvent dans le district de Churu, regroupant plus de 900 villages, 248 panchayats et environ 2 millions d'habitants.

Économie
L'économie de la ville et de ses environs repose principalement sur l'élevage, l'agriculture vivrière et la broderie faite main par des femmes de la région, qui complètent ainsi les revenus nécessaires aux besoins des familles, car dans ce climat aride, les rendements agricoles sont faibles et aléatoires.
La principale source de revenus des zones rurales périphériques à la ville de Churu provient des produits laitiers.

Churu abrite un petit marché où sont vendus quelques produits agricoles de la région, sous l'égide du comité du marché des produits agricoles de la ville. La Food Corporation of India a ses entrepôts à Churu. La ville est le principal point d'approvisionnement des villages environnants pour de nombreux produits.

Il n'y a pas d'industrie de taille moyenne ni de grande zone industrielle. De petites et moyennes entreprises, rares, à petite échelle sont produisent à petite échelle des dalles et des tuiles de granit issues des carrières locales, ou broient des graines de moutarde cultivées à proximité dans des champs irrigués.

Patrimoine architectural
Construites par des princes râjputs ou des commerçants mewâri, ces Havelis comportant parfois des centaines de petites fenêtres sont dans cette région aussi ornées de peintures a fresco (dans le Shekhavatî, à Mandawa ou Jhunjhunu), souvent à but didactique, montrant des scènes religieuses ou des objets occidentaux, trains, voitures, aéroplanes.

À Jaisalmer, elles sont réputées pour leurs décors de pierre finement sculptés.ornés de fresques peintes, notamment Kanhaiya Lal Bagla Ki Haweli et Surana Haweli, avec des centaines de petites fenêtres.

Il a aussi de beaux chhatris (pavillons ou tourelles de forme carrée coiffés de dômes, typiques de l'architecture indienne).

Fax Modulation solutions are available for Group 3 Fax optimized for a wide variety of platforms. This includes complete and robust implementations for ITU-T modulations V.34, V.17, V.29, V.27ter, and V.21 channel 2. Contact us to discuss your fax modem application requirements.
VOCAL's fax modulation software is optimized for DSPs and conventional processors from TI, ADI, Intel, ARM and other vendors. Our software is available for licensing as a standalone algorithm or library. Custom solutions are also available for your unique application requirements.
As an option, these modulations can be combined with VOCAL's V.34Fax to provide image transfer rates of up to 33600 bps. The V.21 channel 2 and V.27ter are the minimum requirements for Group 3 Fax. For non V.34fax, V.21 channel 2 is used to transfer T.30 control frames. The "high speed" modulations V.27ter, V.29 and V.17 are used for the "compressed image" transfer. The term "compressed image" is used loosely here, as the high speed data may in actuality be other data, such as in the case of binary file transfer (BFT).
Using the Command Set Controller (CSC) in VOCAL's T.30 library or with VOCAL's facsimile service Class 1 Command Set(EIA-578 and T.31) all of the facsimile modulations and data streams can be controlled. The T.30 library could in turn be controlled by VOCAL's facsimile service Class 2 Command Sets T.32 (Fax Class 2.1), EIA-592 (Fax Class 2.0), or industry standard (Fax Class 2). With Fax Class 1, most of the protocol is executed in software, with the advantage that any changes don't require hardware modifications. This is in contrast to Fax Class 2, where image processing is handled by the modem.
Facsimile service class 2 command sets (T.32, EIA-592 and industry standard fax class 2) available.


Anthony Award winner Lori Rader-Day has a new mystery novel out today and Kerry Hammond is here to give us her review.
The Day I Died by Lori Rader-Day hits bookstores on April 11 in Paperback, published by William Morrow. It's the author's third standalone mystery novel and the first that I have read. What drew me to the book was the main character's profession. Anna Winger is a handwriting analyst, which is an extremely interesting profession and a perfect one to allow her to be caught up in all sorts of criminal investigations.
Anna Winger and her son Joshua are new to the small Indiana town where they find themselves. It's clear that they move frequently and it's also clear that Anna is on the run from something or someone. She tries to keep a low profile and with the help of a friend, she gets jobs analyzing handwriting. It may be a company who is looking to hire an employee or a woman wondering if she should marry the man she's dating. She explores the curves and angles of the handwriting sample to gain a larger picture of their personality in order to guide her clients.
When a local two-year-old boy goes missing, Anna is asked by the local sheriff to analyze a ransom note. She becomes entwined in not only the investigation but the local people and the town itself. This is something she tries desperately to avoid because it's only a matter of time before she needs to move on to the next town. But this time it's different, events have managed to draw her back to her past, back to where it all started, back to the day she died.
This book grabbed me right from the beginning, not just for the plot but for the writing as well. Rader-Day is a great storyteller. She created just the right amount of suspense to get me hooked. Then she fed me all of the details and descriptions so that I could follow along on Anna's journey, finding the clues as she did, and uncovering the answer at the same time. I think it's time to go back and read her first two novels.

Q: Dynamic Datasets with Amcharts I'm trying to get Amcharts to render my charts dynamically.
You can see the main custom bar chart at this address:
https://karmacover.com/app/template-dashboard.php
I have a var where I store my url callback:
var jsonSelected = 'https://www.karmacover.com/app/jsonp.php?callback=?';

On the front end side I have a dropdown where I want to select the chart dataset type and render dynamically:

                        Top-up Cycle
                        Calendar Month
                        Calendar Year
                        Financial Year

and the selected option changes the value of the url and call the draw function:
$('#topUpCycle').click(function(){
    var jsonSelected = 'https://www.karmacover.com/app/jsonp.php?callback=?';
    drawgraphs();
});

I can see the triggers are working and trigger draw function with the changed url, but nothing happens:

I hope you guys can really help me on that. Thanks a lot in advance! :)

Sad Dads May Lead to Crying Infants
More factors should be considered than depression among moms, experts say
By Steven Reinberg
TUESDAY, June 30, 2009 (HealthDay News) -- Don't automatically blame mom: A crying, colicky baby can be just as much the result of dad's state of mind, Dutch researchers report.
Other studies have found that depression among mothers can be related to excessive crying or colic, a common problem with newborns, but the researchers said that little was known about whether fathers' emotions and behavior also have an effect.
"Up to now, almost all attention went to the prenatal effects of maternal depression on child development, leading to the development of detection and treatment programs that focused on mental well-being of mothers," said lead researcher Dr. Mijke P. van den Berg, a psychiatrist at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam.

"This study showed the importance of taking paternal factors and well-being during pregnancy into account, next to maternal," she said.
The report is published in the July issue of Pediatrics.
To see how parental depression was related to excessive crying, van den Berg's team gathered data on symptoms of depression among parents of 4,426 infants who were 2 months old. Excessive crying was defined as crying for more than three hours a day on more than three days in the past week.
Overall, just 2.5 percent of the infants in the study fit the excessive crying criteria. But, the researchers found a 30 percent higher risk for depression among parents whose infant cried excessively.
"This finding could not be attributed to co-existing depressive symptoms of the mother, which is already known to be a risk factor for excessive infant crying," van den Berg said. It could be related to genetics, a depressed father or, indirectly, through factors such as marital, family or economic stress, she said.
In fact, a dad with symptoms of depression was twice as likely to have an infant who cried excessively as was a dad who was not depressed, the study found.
"Fathers do matter, so take care for the mental well-being of fathers during pregnancy," van den Berg said.
Dr. Jon Shaw, a professor and director of child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Miami Miller of School of Medicine, said that the study shows how depression can lead to infant's excessive crying.
"This study demonstrates in a paradoxical way the importance of fathers, in that fathers' measurable depression during pregnancy is a risk factor for excessive infant crying at 2 months of age," Shaw said.
"This seems to be related perhaps to the enduring effects of fathers' depression on the family ambience, the parental relationship, child parenting and, perhaps as the authors suggest, there may be a genetic factor involved," he said.
The U.S. National Institute of Mental Health has more on depression.

Varon seeks to provide a more nuanced view of antebellum America that shows the North and South were not (at first) fundamentally antagonistic societies. Many in the North could live with slavery, their concerns were focused more on the problems of industrialization and workers' rights than on slavery per se (though it's true in the latter half of the period, the anti-slavery side raised the specter of slave-labor competition to rally support). In the South, while slavery was arguably the most important pillar of the economy, the slave-owning class was very small, and class and regional divides make blanket generalizations about the Slave Power inadequate. For example, in the years just after the Revolution plans were noised about in Virginia for the gradual emancipation of slaves (it was, unfortunately for subsequent history, never seriously pursued). Simultaneously, in the North, there was a general movement to deny the franchise to black Americans, and otherwise deny them equal status.
1. Disunion as prophecy: In this guise, disunion adumbrated apocalypse. Like the prophets of Israel, American politicians bewailed the consequences of disunion (war, chaos, widespread death and terror) to encourage a final solution to the problem of slavery.
2. Disunion as a threat: An especially potent weapon in Southern rhetoric but also found in Northern quivers, the threat of disunion was used to cow political opponents. It was a threat not seriously contemplated except by the most radical partisans (such as Southerner Robert Rhett or the Garrisonian wing of the abolitionists).
3. Disunion as accusation: Here, disunion was used to accuse opponents of treason or of fomenting slave rebellions and disrupting the harmony and future prosperity of the country. As such it was used by all sides: Proslavery advocates (mostly Southerners); abolitionists, who were feared because of their radical ideas about social and gender equality (though there were degrees of commitment, as in any mass movement); and anti-abolitionists, who were antislavery in the sense that they didn't want to see its spread beyond its current limits but were against the abolitionist agenda(s).
It's important to remember that the North was not a bastion of racial equality much less a redoubt of abolitionist crusaders. Its racism could be quite as vicious as any Southerner's. Even among abolitionists and antislavery activists (e.g., Lincoln) black Americans were too often considered little children or hardly better than savages. And the best solution to the slavery problem? Return them to Africa; at the very least, keep the races apart because they could never live together.
4. Disunion as a process: In this manifestation, disunion was part of a process most clearly articulated by that great advocate of nullification and slavery as a "positive good" John C. Calhoun. He invoked disunion as a way to rally Southern and anti-abolitionist interests, and build up an impregnable consensus to resist antislavery agendas. A similar development occurred in anti-slavery circles that eventually coalesced in the late 1850s into the Republican Party.
5. Disunion as a program: As the 1850s passed and all sides became radicalized, the North painted the South as hell bent on disunion; the aggressors in a campaign to destroy the Union and perpetuate slavery in the U.S. and expand it into Latin and South America. Southerners, meanwhile, painted their Northern cousins as plotting to force the South to secede and then launch a war of conquest that would abolish slavery and destroy the Southern way of life.
I have written elsewhere on this site that my knowledge of U.S. history between the Revolutionary and Civil Wars is abysmal so I found this book extremely informative and well argued. Varon doesn't call for her argument to support more weight than it can and presents a fascinating and nuanced account of the factors that led up to the bloodiest conflict in American history. Inevitably, the book also invites a comparison between the politics of the era and our modern predicaments. Specific comparisons break down quickly but I chose the quote in the previous paragraph because the zeitgeist it describes in the decade before Fort Sumter could be applied to today's discourse. Americans don't yet have anything as fundamentally divisive as slavery (or as obviously immoral) to radicalize most people but the impulse to demonize opposition and the desire to paper over different interests in the interests of "bipartisanship" are alive and increasingly strong. And the question that faced our forebears is the same one facing us - Is this union ("the last, best hope of the world," to paraphrase Lincoln) worth preserving?
I'm sure better read readers can find holes in parts of Varon's argument or details to quibble about but I would recommend the book to anyone interested in this critical period in U.S. history (and read it in conjunction with Sean Wilentz's The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln, which offers a related but broader view of the same period).

'Honour pledge on cheaper Chinese visas', says BA chief
British Airways CEO, Willie Walsh, has called on the government to 'Honour pledge on cheaper Chinese visas', over concerns that UK 10-year visas are less competitive that it's European neighbours.
The government must honour its pledge to make it easier and cheaper for Chinese business leaders and holidaymakers to visit the UK, demanded, Willie Walsh, the chief executive of British Airways owner IAG.
Visa for Chinese visitors to the UK
In a letter to Home Secretary Amber Rudd – published just days ahead of Prime Minister Theresa May's official visit to Beijing – Mr Walsh said the UK needed to adopt a "step change" on China.He pointed out that, in October 2015, when President Xi Jinping was on a state visit to Britain, the government said it would trial a reduced price, 10-year visa for Chinese visitors, but that there had been no action on this pledge.
Biometric visas issued by Schengen countries
The letter also called on the government to implement two proposals made by the UK China Visitor Alliance: for the UK to recognise biometric visas now being issued by Schengen countries, and for the granting of visas to the parents of Chinese students studying in the UK."We need a step change on China," said Mr Walsh. "We make it hard for Chinese tourists to visit. The USA charges £119 for a 10-year visa while Britain charges £767."Making it easier for Chinese businesses and tourists to come to the UK is critical to boosting our economy and enhancing global trading links, especially post Brexit. We continue to lose out on the new jobs that Chinese investment and affluent tourists bring."

UK at a 'competitive disadvantage'
In 2016, the UK issued 480,000 visas to Chinese visitors while France, Germany, Italy and Spain together issued 1.5 million.IAG pointed out that Schengen visas cost 99 euro and offers free access to 26 countries, putting the UK at a "competitive disadvantage".According to the Daily Telegraph, Mr Walsh's call is being backed by Michael Ward, the managing director of Harrods, who said the delay in introducing the lower price 10-year visa was "having an adverse impact on British business"."As we move towards the date of our departure from the EU, it is essential for businesses across the country that we remove unnecessary complexity, cost and delays for Chinese consumers who choose to visit the UK," he said."With more Chinese consumers wishing to visit the UK than ever before, this requires immediate action from the government to avoid further damage to the economy."Mr Walsh's call comes in the wake of a bilateral agreement, signed recently between the UK and China, increasing the maximum number of weekly flights between the two countries from 100 to 150. Recent data showed that, in 2016, about 122 million Chinese made trips overseas in 2016, up 4.3 per cent on the previous year.

his collection of recipes and travel anecdotes has been gathered from years of travel and visits to fish markets, fish stands, cafes, restaurants and the kitchens of hospitable locals.
Jacqueline Hagan has travelled extensively with her husband and wherever they venture they take a fishing rod or seek out neighbourhood options for eating fish. This collection of recipes and travel anecdotes has been gathered from years of travel and visits to fish markets, fish stands, cafes, restaurants and the kitchens of hospitable locals. Some of the recipes are light and healthy, with lots of fresh herbs, salads and vegetables. Others make heartier meals, just right for those evenings when you are famished after a long hard day out in the sun, swimming, kayaking, playing cricket or walking. The recipes in this collection will surprise and delight you. Beautifully designed by award winning designer Elissa Webb, this publication with its meticulous and exquisite illustrations will make an ideal Christmas present.
Jacqueline Hagan was temporarily distracted from the pursuit of herring while she pursued a career as a psychologist and management consultant. Along the way, she married a geologist who also happened to love fishing and, together, they set off to discover the world.
Several years later, she and the fisherman returned home to Western Australia with their two sons, where they handed down the pursuit of herring to the next generation. Jacque now lives in Fremantle, where she and the fisherman spend each summer on their boat at Garden Island. In winter they travel to Europe and South America, in search of new and exciting recipes for the next summer's herring catch.


Keeping Bitcoins safe from theft is probably one of the things Bitcoin holders worry the most about. Historically, there have been a number of recommended best practices like paper wallets, BIP 38 wallet cards and cold storage. Although these remain relatively safe ways to store Bitcoins, implementing these solutions can be complicated and difficult to manage for day-to-day transactions. Recently, some companies have begun introducing multi-signature HD wallet services, where 2-out-of-3 signatures are required to sign transactions. These solutions offer security and usability, with the assurance that Bitcoins will remain safe, and the ability to transact with ease. In fact, the website P2SH.info tracks the adoption of multi-sig, and it has been growing exponentially in recent months.
Which brings us to our guest: Arianna Simpson, an Account Specialist at BitGo, a company that provides a simple multi-signature HD wallet solution for individuals and businesses. We talked to Arianna about BitGo and the services they offer, discuss different use cases for multi-sig HD wallets and make projections about the evolution of the wallet space from different angles.

Seniors' Falling Injuries Are Preventable
Seniors Falling
Eleanor Kusel never gave much consideration to the bumps in the sidewalks or the rugs lying on the floor of her apartment. But after the 75-year-old San Franciscan fell and fractured her pelvis while getting out of a car, she began to notice the many hazards that could cause her to fall again.
"I never thought about it until this happened," Kusel said of her recent accident.
Kusel is not alone. One out of every three Americans 65 years and older falls at least once a year, with 10 percent fracturing a bone, dislocating a joint or incurring some other serious injury, said Dr. Mary Tinetti, Chief of Geriatrics at the Yale University School of Medicine.
After three months of bed rest and therapy, Kusel is gradually moving back into her daily routine. She's resumed her volunteer work at a local hospital and is once again making her way around town.
But she may be one of the luckier ones. Nearly one-half of the older Americans who incur a serious injury never fully recover and many lose their ability to function independently for the rest of their lives, said Dr. Bree Johnston, assistant clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco's department of geriatrics. A good proportion end up in nursing homes, making falls and the injuries that result one of the most substantial health threats facing older Americans.
The problem could be even more pressing: A study published in May 1999 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that falling injuries among the elderly are on the rise.
Finding a Cause
While common sense dictates that falling accidents are the result of household hazards such as slippery bathroom floors or poorly lit stairwells, that's not what some researchers have found.
In a recent study, Yale University researchers identified hazards in the homes of 1,100 people who were 72 years or older. After following the study participants for three years, the researchers compared the number of falls with the kinds of household hazards they initially identified. The result: household hazards did not affect the number of falls people had.
"We were quite surprised because this is counter to conventional wisdom," said Dr. Thomas Gill, associate professor of medicine at the Yale University School of Medicine, who led the study.
Instead, a person's health may have more to do with how frequently they fall and injure themselves, he said. Weak leg muscles, poor vision and medications that compromise balance may put elderly people at risk for falling. People should ask their doctors about the possibility of lowering the dosage of certain daily medications -- such as sleeping pills, antidepressants and blood pressure medications that could impair a person's sense of balance -- or eliminating them completely.
Gill presented his findings in May 1999 at the annual meeting of the American Geriatric Society. The study is currently under review for publication.
What You Can Do to Help Prevent Falls
Remain active
Weight training to strengthen leg muscles
Tai chi for balance and strength
Wear flat, wide-toed shoes
Eat calcium-rich foods
Take calcium supplements
Preventing Falls and Injuries
Maintaining muscle strength through exercise may be the key to fall prevention. "Many elderly are scared of falling, so they restrict their activities and that can begin a downward spiral," Johnston said. "Paradoxically, what people need to do is to keep exercising to maintain their function to keep from falling."
She recommends strengthening leg muscles through weight training. She also advocates tai chi, a calm form of Chinese martial arts, which has been shown to reduce fall frequency because it promotes balance and strength.
Choosing shoes that are flat and have a wide toe is also important in fall prevention.
Because falls aren't always avoidable, older Americans should prepare themselves, Johnston said. Eating calcium-rich foods and taking calcium supplements to keep bones strong will play a big part in determining how people fare during and after a fall.
"If elders can stay active rather than becoming sedentary, they will do much better in their later years," she said. "There's hope. It is never too late."

Wisconsin stomps into a Big Ten Championshp birth with 62-14 win over Indiana
The rest of the Leaders Division will have to wait another year because the Wisconsin Badgers will be the Leaders' representative in the Big Ten Championship for the second straight year after a 62-14 win against Indiana at Memorial Stadium.
Last season was the inaugural year for the Championship in Indianapolis, so make it 2-for-2 for the Badgers (7-3, 4-2).
It's gotten to the point where the Hoosiers (4-6, 2-3) dread playing the Badgers as they've been outscored 204-41 in their last three games against Wisconsin. Not only that, but the Badgers racked up a school-record 566 rushing yards in the win.
What It Means: Everyone talked about quarterback Curt Phillips in the week leading up to the game, but what they should have been talking about is the Badgers running backs. Montee Ball (198 yards) and James White (161 yards) helped UW have the best rushing day in school history. It's safe to say the offensive line is peaking and that Indiana is one of the worst tackling teams in the country. No matter who it was out there, the Badgers were running people over. Even back-ups Melvin Gordon and Jeff Lewis recorded a touchdown. Phillips didn't have to do much, but he was poised and most importantly didn't make any mistakes. The defense continued to do what they do as they held Indiana to their lowest point-total of the season and only 294 total yards.
Player of the Game: Montee Ball (27 carries for 198 yards and three touchdowns)
Ball scored three touchdowns (77 career TDs), surpassing Ricky Williams (Texas) for second on the NCAA's all-time touchdown list. With just two more scores, Ball will break the record held by Miami of Ohio's Travis Prentice. He may not be Heisman worthy, but the Doak Walker Award Finalist does have six games of 100+ yards and 16 total touchdowns this season.
Highlight of the Game: Ball's roommate and good friend, White, had a pair of touchdowns that were just electric. The first came right before halftime when he broke off a 69 yard scamper to break open the game for the Badgers. Another came in the fourth quarter on a 50 yard touchdown. Ball doesn't have chance at the Heisman this year, but does White in 2013?
Stat of the Game (7): The amount of passes attempted by Phillips. Of those seven, he completed only four. Everyone in the country knew the Badgers were going to run, but it leaves you wondering if a similar gameplan will work against much better defenses going forward.
What's Next: The schedule gets a bit tougher with undefeated Ohio State (10-0) coming to Camp Randall. OSU will be coming off their bye week and will have had an entire extra week to prepare for the Badgers run game. Wisconsin hasn't had a lot of success against good teams this season, going 2-3 against projected bowl teams. A win against Ohio State would help the nation determine if they're really primed for a return trip to Pasadena.

Time is running out. It isn't until someone who is close to you is diagnosed with a terrible disease or a loved one is nearing the end that one starts to take a look at their own life and realize how little time we have left on planet earth.
I recently thought I would save some money by switching to the "light" version of internet access with my provider. "Really how much difference will it make?" I thought.
