<p> Research firm <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/02/idc-nokia-samsung-apple-are-the-new-top-3-handset-makers/">IDC</a> is reporting that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/19/nokia-q1-2012/">Nokia</a> has been dethroned as the world&#8217;s biggest phone maker by <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/26/samsung-q1-2012-earnings/">Samsung</a>. In the first quarter of the year, Samsung shipped 98.3 million mobile phones, with Nokia and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/24/apple-q2-2012-earnings-report-ipad-iphone-sales/">Apple</a> in second and third place. In the smartphone-only charts, the Korean company shipped 42.2 million of its Android and Windows Phone handsets, while Cupertino shipped 35.1 million and Nokia shipped a paltry-by-comparison 11.9 million.</p>
<p> Samsung, Apple and companies outside the top 5 all made big gains in the smartphone space, while Nokia, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/13/jim-balsillie-rim-plans/">RIM</a> and HTC all felt their numbers drop. Unsurprisingly, companies with big stakes in dumb phones suffered, with Nokia and LG losing big chunks of their market share to the big two and stalking horse <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/30/zte-announces-2011-financials-turnover-up-profits-down-politi/">ZTE</a>, which has bested LG for fourth place. After the break, we&#8217;ve got the official tallies that you can pore over.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="first"><span class="date">ScienceDaily (May 1, 2012)</span> ? On 5 and 6 June this year, millions of people around the world will be able to see Venus pass across the face of the Sun in what will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.</p>
<p>It will take Venus about six hours to complete its transit, appearing as a small black dot on the Sun&#8217;s surface, in an event that will not happen again until 2117.</p>
<p>In this month&#8217;s <em>Physics World</em>, Jay M Pasachoff, an astronomer at Williams College, Massachusetts, explores the science behind Venus&#8217;s transit and gives an account of its fascinating history.</p>
<p>Transits of Venus occur only on the very rare occasions when Venus and Earth are in a line with the Sun. At other times Venus passes below or above the Sun because the two orbits are at a slight angle to each other. Transits occur in pairs separated by eight years, with the gap between pairs of transits alternating between 105.5 and 121.5 years &#8212; the last transit was in 2004.</p>
<p>Building on the original theories of Nicolaus Copernicus from 1543, scientists were able to predict and record the transits of both Mercury and Venus in the centuries that followed.</p>
<p>Johannes Kepler successfully predicted that both planets would transit the Sun in 1631, part of which was verified with Mercury&#8217;s transit of that year. But the first transit of Venus to actually be viewed was in 1639 &#8212; an event that had been predicted by the English astronomer Jeremiah Horrocks. He observed the transit in the village of Much Hoole in Lancashire &#8212; the only other person to see it being his correspondent, William Crabtree, in Manchester.</p>
<p>Later, in 1716, Edmond Halley proposed using a transit of Venus to predict the precise distance between Earth and the Sun, known as the astronomical unit. As a result, hundreds of expeditions were sent all over the world to observe the 1761 and 1769 transits. A young James Cook took the Endeavour to the island of Tahiti, where he successfully observed the transit at a site that is still called Point Venus.</p>
<p>Pasachoff expects the transit to confirm his team&#8217;s theory about the phenomenon called &#8220;the black-drop effect&#8221; &#8212; a strange, dark band linking Venus&#8217;s silhouette with the sky outside the Sun that appears for about a minute starting just as Venus first enters the solar disk.</p>
<p>Pasachoff and his colleagues will concentrate on observing Venus&#8217;s atmosphere as it appears when Venus is only half onto the solar disk. He also believes that observations of the transit will help astronomers who are looking for extrasolar planets orbiting stars other than the Sun.</p>
<p>&#8220;Doing so verifies that the techniques for studying events on and around other stars hold true in our own backyard.. In other words, by looking up close at transits in our solar system, we may be able to see subtle effects that can help exoplanet hunters explain what they are seeing when they view distant suns,&#8221; Pasachoff writes.</p>
<p>Not content with viewing this year&#8217;s transit from Earth, scientists in France will be using the Hubble Space Telescope to observe the effect of Venus&#8217;s transit very slightly darkening the Moon. Pasachoff and colleagues even hope to use Hubble to watch Venus passing in front of the Sun as seen from Jupiter &#8212; an event that will take place on 20 September this year &#8212; and will be using NASA&#8217;s Cassini spacecraft, which is orbiting Saturn, to see a transit of Venus from Saturn on 21 December.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are fortunate in that we are truly living in a golden period of planetary transits and it is one of which I hope astronomers can take full advantage,&#8221; he writes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p type="articleSubhead">Jennifer Lopez calls latest castoff a &#8216;fighter&#8217; for speaking her mind during the show.<br/>By James Montgomery, with reporting by Christina Garibaldi</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1684170/american-idol-elise-testone-jennifer-lopez.jhtml"> <img type="photo" src="http://www.mtv.com/shared/promoimages/news/a/american_idol/2012/elise_testone_jlo_043012/promo/281x211.jpg"/> </a> <br/> <i type="articlePhotoCaption">Elise Testone</i> <br/> <i type="articlePhotoCredit">Photo: MTV News</i> </p>
<p type="articleText">
<p> <a href="/news/articles/1683992/american-idol-elise-testone-eliminated.jhtml">Elise Testone&#8217;s ouster</a> from <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/topic/american_idol/">&#8220;American Idol&#8221;</a> last week wasn&#8217;t exactly shocking &#8212; after all, she&#8217;d practically built &#8220;a vacation home&#8221; in the bottom three (thanks Jimmy Iovine!). But that doesn&#8217;t mean she ever really expected to go home either. </p>
<p>&#8220;I never really allowed myself to think about it,&#8221; Testone told MTV News. &#8220;But, you know, it happened. I don&#8217;t take it to heart; it&#8217;s a TV show, you know? It&#8217;s dramatic. People agree, they don&#8217;t agree. No matter what you do, people are going to respect you and people aren&#8217;t.&#8221; </p>
<p><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:764602/cp~vid%3D764602%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A764602" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed> </p>
<p>It&#8217;s telling that Testone mentioned the whole agree/disagree thing, mostly because, during her time on the show, it seemed like the &#8220;Idol&#8221; judges could never truly agree on their critiques of her performances. And, of course, that led to Testone frequently disagreeing with their assessments. And now, much like fellow castoff <a href="/news/articles/1681819/american-idol-erika-van-pelt-struggle.jhtml">Erika Van Pelt</a>, she&#8217;s letting her displeasure about that fact be known. </p>
<p>&#8220;I can look at it like they&#8217;re contradicting themselves, or it could be mistaken for I&#8217;m just not finding the balance,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So, they&#8217;ll bring one thing to your attention, and then they&#8217;ll pull back and they&#8217;ll bring <i>another</i> thing to your attention, [and] that might contradict the other thing, but it&#8217;s probably because I&#8217;m not balancing out the advice that they&#8217;re giving, if that makes any sense. Sometimes it didn&#8217;t make sense. &#8230; I have to say my least-favorite comment was &#8216;Elise is back!&#8217; because I&#8217;m like, &#8216;I really never went anywhere.&#8217;&#8221; </p>
<p>Still, Testone said she&#8217;s eternally grateful for her time on &#8220;Idol&#8221; &#8212; she mentioned bonding with Stevie Nicks as a highlight, joking, &#8220;She&#8217;s basically my best friend at this point&#8221; &#8212; and added that she&#8217;s exiting with her head held high, mostly because she never was afraid to speak her mind. </p>
<p>&#8220;[I talked to the judges] on a few occasions, especially J.Lo,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I was like, &#8216;Are you mad at me? I&#8217;m not trying to talk back in a rude way!&#8217; It&#8217;s just that, being older, and knowing the direction I want to go in, I feel comfortable. Maybe because of my experience with music or my age, I thought I could talk to [the judges]. And I thought that people would respect that in a way, like, &#8216;This girl is speaking up for herself, trying to figure out a clear answer.&#8217; </p>
<p>&#8220;And Jennifer was OK with that,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;She was like, &#8216;No, I totally understand. I like that you&#8217;re a fighter and you stand up for what you believe in. That makes me respect you more.&#8217; She always says she respects me as an artist, so that&#8217;s great.&#8221; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>?</p>
<p>Elder care can be triggered by many different types of situations. Your mother has Alzheimer?s and needs help in caring for herself or your father is growing very old and slowly losing the ability to care for himself. When you?re confronted by such issues, providing them care at home is often the most viable option. Seniors prefer home care over other types of elder care because this allows them to maintain their independence for as long as possible without putting their safety at risk. </p>
<p> Aging in place becomes possible because there are caregivers who can provide home care services. Seniors benefit from this arrangement because they receive the right type of care, which is based on an individual plan. Many seniors can still function on their own and need only little or occasional help (such as cooking, cleaning, home repairs, etc.). But there are also seniors who need high levels of home health care services, such as those who are ill or who want to shorten their hospitalization days. They may need this type of care over a short term or a long period of time. </p>
<p> Home care incorporates a wide array of health and social services. Care at home can be provided either by health care professionals (also known as skilled nursing care or home health care givers) or by their own family and friends (often referred to as voluntary caregivers or primary caregivers who provide informal care). In general, home care is used when referring to custodial care or non-medical care often provided by individuals who are not doctors, nurses, or other licensed and qualified medical workers. This is also known as non-medical home care. This type of service is usually more general and is provided with the goal of assisting the seniors with the activities of daily living (ADLs) such as grooming, dressing, light housekeeping, cooking, transportation and the like. These services do not require providers who are skilled or licensed.</p>
<p> The term home health care, on the other hand, is often used when referring to care services provided by licensed individuals. Such services can only be performed by licensed personnel such as wound care, IV therapy, post- surgical care, and many others. </p>
<p> Nowadays, those who provide care at home have even improved their services to include not only personalized care services, but also services that give emphasis to the development of social connections among seniors. Some of the important reasons for this approach are:</p>
<p> -Many elders have a strong preference to stay in their own neighborhood and in regular contact with people of all ages. </p>
<p> -The importance of community for seniors who live alone or are isolated from other people for other reasons. </p>
<p> -Support services, which include home care, home repair, grocery shopping, transportation, and assistance with daily living activities, have become more affordable and accessible to elders. </p>
<p> Geriatric Care Management</p>
<p> There is no doubt that family caregivers know a great deal about what their senior loved one?s needs. However, there are times when it becomes very difficult and overwhelming to decide about which type of services to hire and how to coordinate them. Asking for professional advice can be invaluable, especially for first-time caregivers. In fact, they don?t need to do this alone. </p>
<p> There are geriatric care managers who can help them. These are nurses, counselors, social workers, or gerontologists. You can locate a geriatric manager by inquiring from your local Area Agency on Aging (AAA), rehab center, hospital, multi-service private home care agency, or community service center. </p>
<p> Geriatric care managers are experts when it comes to evaluating individual needs, working with families, and managing problematic family situations. By visiting a senior?s home they are able to assess each individual?s needs and determine whether he is eligible for resources or not. Family and friends who live far away from their senior loved one would find geriatric care managers very helpful in overseeing their senior?s care. The following are some of the things that geriatric care managers can do for you:</p>
<p> -Assess whether or not your senior needs home care services. </p>
<p> -Coordinate home health care and hire caregivers.</p>
<p> -Develop an individual care plan around the specific home care services required. </p>
<p> -Monitor, reassess and adjust care services.</p>
<p> -Provide assistance to families in managing their legal and financial matters. </p>
<p> -Secure long-term care, adult day programs, senior housing, and respite care for family caregivers.</p>
<p> -Provide assistance in managing complex government benefits.</p>
