Five Questions Left Unanswered After the 2013 ACM Awards
Stevie Wonder, John Mayer and John Fogerty were among those who made surprise guest appearances at the 2013 ACM Awards on Sunday (April 7). Perhaps more interesting, however, is who wasn't in attendance. Fans were left asking about a lack of screen time for three big country singers after Luke Bryan accepted Entertainer of the Year and credits rolled across the screen.
It's difficult to say any artist was snubbed, mostly because the night's two biggest surprises (Bryan and Florida Georgia Line for New Artist of the Year) were fan-voted. The CBS broadcast was full of surprises, and a closer look reveals even more curiosities and questions about the decision-making process.
Where was Alabama?
Garth Brooks and George Strait -- the last two ACM Artists of the Decade -- were on hand to honor Dick Clark, so why not include Alabama? The country group won the award in 1989 and is actively touring. Loretta Lynn ('70s) and Marty Robbins ('60) also won the honor, but Robbins is dead and Lynn tends to limit her travel in recent years, so their absence is understandable. The timing was perfect to bring back the men from Fort Payne, but it seems they were left out. Perhaps they declined, or maybe they were never asked. Either way, it was an opportunity missed.
Wow! What have Trisha Yearwood and Angaleena Presley been doing right?
Both women revealed a slimmer -- but still curvy -- figure during the 2013 ACM Awards. The Pistol Annies brunette walked on stage in leather, lace and garters. Ladies, forgive your men if they left drool on the remote control at that point. Trisha Yearwood looked similarly healthy (although she was more modestly dressed) when she introduced Kelly Clarkson's performance. Mrs. Garth Brooks admits she's cut sugar from her diet and has lost 20 pounds. Presley's road to a smaller waistline is still a mystery.
Um... where was Joe Diffie?
Joe Diffie's return to the ACM Awards was not as overdue as Garth Brooks' or Shania Twain's, but it was as expected as Blake Shelton making a dirty joke at his wife's expense. Possible explanations as to why the real Joe Diffie never stood up include: 1) He wasn't interested 2) He wasn't available or 3) He wasn't asked. All three are unacceptable. This was his moment, and his absence was awkward. It was like a wedding with no bride.
Who is that girl?
More than once viewers asked this question. Who was that girl performing behind Eric Church during 'Like Jesus Does'? Who were those girls singing and strumming guitars with Blake Shelton during 'Sure Be Cool if You Did'? While talented these three women are not yet famous, calling them only backup singers trivializes their efforts -- especially in Church's case. The same two women alongside Shelton helped him and his friends sing 'Boys 'Round Here' to open the show.
Where was Taylor Swift?
Yes, she was there -- she performed with Tim McGraw. But the lack of screen time for country music's biggest star was curious. The other four Entertainer of the Year nominees all performed their own songs, so why didn't Swift? Hunter Hayes was on stage so often you wondered if he had a twin brother. Brad Paisley even performed a cut from his 'Wheelhouse' album. John Mayer even took the stage, which in retrospect almost seems like a slap in Taylor Swift's face. The 'Begin Again' singer may have chosen to keep a low profile, but that would only prompt another list of five questions we'd like answers to.

Okay all you straight hair Sallys! It's your turn. Today we're going over the essentials for your bathroom. Whether you struggle with how straight your hair is or you love it, these are great things to have on hand for changing things up. As always if you have something you LOVE that you think we missed on this list, we would love to hear about it in the comment section below. Here we go!
- Sectioning clips. It's really important to section your hair when trying to build volume, assuming that's what you want to do. If you like the straightness of your hair and want to maintain it, you'll still get a shinier, smoother, sleeker blowout when you section it off.
- Blowdryer. That's pretty obvious. You'll want one with a cool button because setting the hair with cool air is what will make it stay longer.
- Filter for the shower. Vital. Straight hair can become heavier and straighter with film caused by different elements in our shower water. Keep that heaviness away by putting a filter in the shower. There are several options at Sephora.
- Teasing brush. Stop trying to get volume with a comb. You'll save so much time by getting one of these natural bristled teasing brushes.
- Metal core round brush. These serve as a curling iron when they heat up so you could avoid using an actual iron if you can get the right bend with one of these.
- Mason Pearson style brush. Massage your scalp and encourage hair growth with a Mason Pearson style flat brush. Actual Mason Pearsons cost a fortune but there are great alternatives out there. I like the ones by Denman mentioned in this article I wrote a long time ago!
- Extra-large sponge rollers or velcro rollers. These help set your hair and give you that major bounce you want, which you can't typically get with straight hair. Remember this tutorial?
- Emi Jay hair ties. One of my favorite tricks for straight hair is tying it up on top of the head for 20 or 30 minutes using one of these. Letting the hair dry a little while the follicles are going in an upward direction helps add a little more volume and keep the hair from laying super flat.
- Hot rollers. Obviously a straight haired gals best friend. May seem old-school but still a great way to get lasting waves.
- Various curling irons. Straight hair is a blank canvas. Never overdo it but definitely try different things. Challenge yourself and try not to use curling irons on super straight hair more than a few days a week.
Anything you want to add? xo

His Life's One Ambition
In his 1942 interview in American Artist, Dean Cornwell said: "The measure of the illustrator is his ability to take a subject in which he may have neither interest nor information, tackle it with everything he's got and make the finished picture look like the consumation of his life's one ambition."
So its not surpising that Cornwell produced a multitude of roughs, preliminary drawings and colour comps before tackling any of his finished pieces. He used photos almost exclusively for reference of small details - the actual subject matter he drew and redrew until he found it to be satisfactory. "Go to the source," he told his students, and "get the smell of the place."
For Cornwell, the secret to a successful illustration was not in how realistic a painting he could do - it was in how successfully he had composed the picture. "A composition is not just a nice arrangement with everything filling in the space," he said in his American Artist interview. "No matter how satisfying it may be from an abstract point of view it is meaningless in illustration unless it is built around and wholly expresses an authentic idea that motivates the particular picture."
* All of today's images were generously donated by my good friend René Milot, who scanned the originals from his private collection so we could enjoy them as well. Many thanks, mon ami!
You'll find larger versions of today's images in my Dean Cornwell Flickr set.

And thank you, for doing a week on Cornwell and mostly thank you for giving us a daily morning inspiration! We all are very lucky to receive a multitude of carefully researched and selected works! Nice job!ReplyDelete
Thanks René for being so generous, otherwise nobody would ever see these.ReplyDelete
I wish more collectors would step forward, who knows how many unseen treasures exist?
These drawings of Cornwell's are gorgeous. For me they are more interesting than the finished paintings -- it's like seeing Cornwell's bones, his illustrative skeletal structure. Which I guess you could say about drawings in general -- It's just that in Cornwell's case particularly his stately finished work -- truly the product of another era --doesn't let me in as much as his drawings do. Many thanks to René for sharing his collection, & of course to you, Leif.ReplyDelete
Awesome week Leif!ReplyDelete

Finding diamond in a coal mine

Excellent post Rohit. A must read for new as well as seasoned investors alike. Thanks for sharing.

Rohit, I have recently started reading your blog and find it very informative. Thanks a ton for sharing all this knowledge.One problem I am facing is that I am not able to download any of the sheets that you have posted on google groups. I guess the google groups is no more active. How do I access those sheets that you have posted in your articles before?

Thanks Rohit for another excellent post. I love the way you ended your post "I think it is far more profitable for investors to look for diamonds in a diamond mine, than go searching for one in a coal mine"

Hi rohit
Kunal here nice to read ur views but my points are
1) Spicejet and indigo are very efficient company and to say they will loose money is painting every one with same brush
2) now airline models are very less capital intensive so even if they make 5-8% margin return on capital can be very good
3) If u see the situation of indian aviation market three players JET -26% share KFA -17% and AI -17% are in a position from where they have to survive (forget about additional capacity expansion ), and none of the outsiders will dare to launch airline after watching negative publicity that mallaya has . now spice and indigo gets free ride here. a market which is growing at 20% for next 8-10 years and only two or three are able to expand, so they will have 25-30% CAGR in rev.
4) when ever we buy equity we have limited liability only the money invested can be lost unlike mallaya we dont have to put our home on block . so here risk reward says even if spice makes loss for couple of years it will not loose too much as it is already discounted and if there might be a chance that with in next 12-18 months if u get couple of good quarters than u can have windfall profits . It can go to as high as 80-100 rs according to my assumptions.

I am actually reading the annual reports of several real estate companies and find some of them interesting and surprisingly clean!
Mr.rohit, what are those companies?

Hi Rohit
How do you calculate excess cash in a business for analysis?

hi rohit, i have read ur posts on MFs..one thing i need to ask abt ur mutual fund portfolio is diversification..i m commenting abt 5 funds u hav selected ( may possible tht u dnt have any positions in them right )
1. all ur funds are large caps nd multicaps..why?
2. dont u believe in core nd satellite approach which many magazines,papers are advocating these days
3. you are an aggressive investor nd ur MF portfolio doesnt reflect tht
4. u hav invested in growth style funds only..nt any value fund why? dont u think diversification in investment style is also necessary
5. i hav read abt MFs on many platforms, aggressive portfolio according to me would be - 1 large cap, 2 multi caps, 1 midcap, 1small cap/ midcap; among these funds min 2 must hav value investing approach..
do u see any flaw in dis strategy? please post ur reply..
because after reading ur posts i hav a feeling dat u cant go wrong on anything! i m quite eager to hear ur opinion on above points..sorry for posting my querry in this thread..

Hi indrajeet
I have not looked at the company so cannot on the specific, however i have found that the liquidation value approach really does not work as it generally not practical to have liquidation of company. so the assets which you see generally do not come back to shareholder
you can use liquidation value as one data point ..but i will more concerned if the management is using the assets productively and will create value in the future

thanks ..i liked the statement too after i wrote it :)

Hi kunal
I agree with you comments in the short to the medium term : 1-2 yrs. With severe losses we may see rise in prices and profitability. it really cannot go down from current levels further otherwise everyone will get wiped out.
so in effect spicejet and others could make money in the next 1-2 years and in that wave the market could reprice these companies as if that is the new steady state, analyst will sing praises and you can exit with good returns.
however as i happens in a commodity business, this period of rising prices will be followed by new capacity , more competition and drop in profitability again and we will have a repeat. so unless one exits in the next 1-2 years, an investor will not make decent returns over a period of 4-5 years.
even if the planes are leased, it really does not change the economics much ..you are changing the upfront cash flow with a ongoing lease expense. financially the transactions may be different, but economically it is same as everyone in the industry can lease and hence the return on capital will tend to the same numbers
again - i am not saying you will not do well in the next 2-3 yrs ..you could get a double or even triple too. but airline stocks are not good for the average investor

Signs Of God, Design In Nature
A thorough examination of the feathers of a bird, the sonar system of a bat or the wing structure of a fly...
Human Body
When you look around you out in open air and in a broad field, you can readily see all objects farthest and closest to you in all their colors, shape, and size. This view, which you have obtained without making any effort, is produced as a result of numerous complex reactions and interactions in your body. Now let us look at these complicated operations closer.
The human eye has a fully automatic mechanism that works perfectly. It is made up of the combination of 40 different basic parts and all these parts have critical functions in the process of seeing. Any defect or disability in even one of these parts would make seeing impossible.
The transparent layer in the front part of the eye is cornea. Right behind lies the iris. Giving the eye its color, the iris adjusts its size automatically according to the sharpness of light thanks to the muscles attached to it. For example, if we are in a dark place, the iris widens to take in as much light as possible. When light increases, it shrinks to decrease the amount of light coming into the eye.
The automatic adjustment system in the iris works like this: The moment light comes to the eye, a nerve impulse travels to the brain and gives message about the existence and brightness of the light. The brain immediately sends back a signal and orders how much the muscles around the iris will contract.
Another eye mechanism working parallel to this structure is the lens. The duty of the lens is to focus the light coming to the eye onto the retina layer at the back of the eye. Thanks to the movement of the muscles around the lens, light rays coming to the eye from different angles and distances can always be focused on the retina.
All the systems we have mentioned are far smaller yet far more superior to the mechanical devices designed by the use of the latest technology in order to imitate the eye. Even the most advance artificial imaging system in the world remains extremely simple and primitive compared to the eye. When we think of the effort and knowledge that has been put into developing these artificial imaging systems, we can understand with what a superior creation the eye is made.
If we examine a single cell in the eye at the microscopic level, the superiority of this creation will be further revealed.
Let us suppose that we look at a crystal bowl full of fruit. The light rays coming from this bowl to our eye pass through the cornea and iris and are focused on the retina by the lens.
So, what happens in the retina so that the retinal cells can perceive light?
When light particles, also called, photons, strike the cells in the retina, they produce a cascading effect like a row of dominoes carefully arranged one after the other. The first of these dominoes in the retinal cells is a molecule called 11-cis-retinal. When a photon of light interacts with it, this molecule changes shape. This forces a change in the shape of another protein, rhodopsin, to which it is tightly bound. Now, rhodopsin takes such a form that it can stick to another protein, called transducin, which was already present in the cell, but with which it could not interact before due to its shape's incompatibility. After this union, another molecule called GDP also joins in this group.
Now, two proteins-rhodopsin and transducin-and a chemical molecule called GDP have bound together.
However the process has just begun. The compound called GDP now has the proper form to bind to another protein called phosphodiesterase, which always exists in the cell. After this bonding, the shape of the molecule that is produced will trigger a mechanism that will start a series of chemical reactions in the cell.
This is a schematic diagram of a rod cell. The stacked disks contain rhodopsin, the complex of opsin protein and 11-cis-retinal. At the synaptic body, the potential difference generated as the ultimate result of the retinal isomerization is passed along to a connecting nerve cell, creating an electrical impulse that will be transmitted to the brain and interpreted as visual information. 4
This mechanism changes the ion concentration in the cell and produces electrical energy. This energy stimulates the nerves lying right at the back of the retinal cell. Consequently, the image that came to the eye as a photon of light sets on its journey in the form of an electrical signal. This signal contains visual information about the object outside.
In order for seeing to take place, the electrical signals produced in the retinal cell have to be transmitted to the center of vision in the brain. Nerve cells however are not directly connected to one another: there is a tiny gap between their junction points. How then does the electrical stimulus continue on its way?
At this point, another set of complex operations takes place. The electrical energy is transformed into chemical energy without any loss of the information being carried and in this way the information is transmitted from one nerve to the next. The chemical carriers located at the junction points of nerve cells successfully convey the information contained in the stimulus coming from the eye from one nerve to another. When transferred to the next nerve, the stimulus is again converted into electrical signal and continues its way until it reaches another junction point.
Making its way to the center of vision in the brain in this way, the signal is compared to the information in the center of memory and the image is interpreted.
Finally, we see the bowl full of fruit, which we viewed before, by virtue of this perfect system made up of hundreds of small details.
And all these amazing operations take place in a fraction of a second.
Moreover, since the act of seeing takes place continuously, the system repeats these steps over and over. For example, the molecules playing a part in the chain reaction in the eye are restored to their original state every time and the reaction starts all over again.
Of course at the same time many other equally complex operations are taking place in other parts of the body. We may simultaneously hear the sound of the image we are viewing, and depending on circumstances we may sense its odor and taste and feel its touch. Meanwhile, millions of other operations and reactions have to continue without interruption in our body if we are to go on living.
The primitive science of Darwin's day knew about none of this. Despite that however, even Darwin realized the extraordinary design in the eye and confessed his despair in a letter he wrote to Asa Grey on April 3rd 1860 in which he said:
The biochemical properties of the eye that have been discovered by modern science dealt a greater blow to Darwinism than Darwin could ever have imagined.
The complete process of seeing that we have summarized in barest outline here is even more complex in its details. However even this summary is enough to show what a glorious system has been created in our body.
The reactions taking place in the eye are so complex and so finely tuned that it is quite unreasonable to think that these are a product of chance occurrences as the theory of evolution claims.
Michael Behe, a recognized professor of biochemistry, makes this comment on the chemistry of the eye and the theory of evolution in his book Darwin's Black Box:
But as we have seen, the theory of evolution is unable to account for a single system in a single living cell, much less explain life as a whole.
Having utterly demolished the hypothesis that life is 'simple', science demonstrated to humanity a very important fact.
Life is not the product of unplanned happenings. It is the result of a perfect creation.
The perfect creation of a superior Creator, Who brought life into being, Who is God, the Lord of all the Worlds.
It is He Who created both humans and all other living beings. And man is responsible to our Lord Who created him.

Chair Taylor
will call the meeting to order.
Chair Taylor
will address the Board and present the Chair's Report.
President Delaney will address the Board and present
the President's Report.
Chair Taylor
will address the Board and ask for approval of the Board of Trustees June 20,
2006 minutes.
Approval of the minutes.
MOTION and second required.
Board of Governors passed a policy which stated that:
Neither the tuition nor out-of-state fee may be lower than the rate in
effect for 2005-2006.
As a result of this policy, the University must alter
its schedule of tuition and fees for out-of-state students, keeping the
out-of-state fees the same as last year while adding in the 3% in-state tuition
increases. The attached schedule of tuition and fees shows the resulting costs
to out-of-state students.
President Serwatka will address the Board and present the modified schedule of
tuition and fees.
RECOMMEND: Approval. MOTION and second required.
new tuition and fees regulations are being presented by the University for
approval by the Board. The new tuition regulation incorporates the tuition
rates set in item 5. The new fees reflect fees previously approved by the Board
and those miscellaneous fees approved by the President on behalf of the Board.
After the full Board
of Trustees has voted to adopt the select regulations
(tuition and fee regulations) and the Board of
Trustees has provided copies to the Board of Governors, the
select regulations will become effective upon the Board of Governors' approval
or 60 days after being provided to the Board of Governors, whichever occurs
President Stone will address the Board and present the approval of regulations.
RECOMMEND: Approval. MOTION and second required. A separate MOTION and second are required for each of the two regulations.
University of North Florida's Board
of Trustees is charged with approving and submitting the PECO
plan for the University in consultation with the President. The attached
schedule shows UNF's proposed one-year and five-year capital requests (PECO).
Each of the items included in this proposed request is consistent with the
University's strategic plan.
Vice President Shuman will address the Board
and present the PECO submissions.
Through this action the Board would approve
amending the recently adopted Master Plan to include the purchase and use of
the AOL building on Kernan Boulevard.
This building would allow UNF to address the need to add additional classroom and
administrative space. It would also
eliminate the need for other renovations, as noted in Item 7a. (motion and second required)
President Delaney will address the Board and
present the amending of the Master Plan to include the purchase and use of the
AOL building.
MOTION and second required.
The Board of
Governors has requested input from Boards of Trustees on a process to be used
in appointing new trustees to local university boards. Chair Taylor and
President Delaney have outlined a system for providing the BOG with potential
nominations that involves input from the University administration and review
by members of the current Board.
Chair Taylor
will address the Board and present a recommended trustee appointment process.
DISCUSSION: No MOTION required.
When UNF put
together its first set of requests for 2007-2008, the University thought that
its requests for more teachers and more nurses would become part of a
system-wide effort. But based on communication with the BOG staff, the
administration learned that the system was taking a different approach:
supporting the increase of nursing faculty as opposed to nurses and relying
solely on SUCCEED grants for increasing teacher supply.
elements of these initiatives were central to our strategic planning, Academic Affairs,
in consultation with President Delaney decided to (a) incorporate the most
important elements of nursing and teacher preparation into UNF's unique LBRs,
(b) reprioritize and recalculate what the University was asking for in two of
the other three initiatives (coastal and ecological research and community-based
learning) and (c) completely eliminate the request for support for the global
health initiative.
address the Board and present the resubmission of the LBRs.
DISCUSSION: No MOTION required.

Tell me if you've heard this one before. A straight person or a white person or an able-bodied person or a cisgender person or a man says that gay people or people of color or disabled people or trans* people or women are the true oppressors, because somehow
- a gay person reacting angrily to homophobia
- or a person of color reacting angrily to racism
- or a disabled person reacting angrily to ableism
- or a trans* person reacting angrily to transphobia
- or a woman reacting angrily to sexism
is, first of all, a problem, and second of all, a problem that is equal to or greater than homophobia, racism, ableism, transphobia or sexism.
The main complaint of these privileged persons seems to be some variation of "We can't criticize them without getting in trouble!" or "They're taking away our freedom of speech."
The latest iteration I've seen is a quote attributed to Voltaire currently circulating on Facebook in the form of meme-style text on a sketch of a giant hand crushing a tiny crowd of tiny people. The quote says, "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."
I agree with this sentiment, but I was disappointed by the comments on one of these Voltaire quotes. Apparently, some of my fellow PHC family members believe that, according to this standard, women, people of color, disabled people, and LGBTQ people "rule over" them.
I sincerely hope that these comments were not meant seriously, though even as a "joke," they are not funny.
If these commenters are correct, then black lesbians with disabilities should hold more clout in this country, proportionally, than any other demographic.
Of course, that isn't true. And neither is the implied statement that men or white people or able-bodied people or straight people are not allowed to criticize women, black people, disabled people, and LGBTQ people.
These commenters think that an angry response to oppression counts as actual oppression.
If you make a negative comment about gay people, and someone tells you that you are being hateful or inaccurate or ignorant or oppressive, you aren't being oppressed. You aren't being deprived of your freedom of speech. The other party is merely using their freedom of speech to respond to you.
If you are a straight, white, able-bodied, cisgender man, you possess immense privilege. There's nothing wrong with being straight or white or able-bodied or cisgender or a man, and the vast majority of the world will happily affirm you in your identity as all of these things. But there is something wrong with feeling entitled to your privilege, as if you deserve special treatment because you are any or all of these identities. And when someone who is not straight or not white or not able-bodied or not cisgender or not a man complains about the inequality in society, you are a jerk if you claim that that person complaining about inequality is the one perpetuating it.
You have the right to squander your freedom of speech on hateful, inaccurate, ignorant, oppressive statements. And we have the right to call you on your bullshit. It's how free speech works.
Welcome to America.

Running away is a common threat with young children.
Running away is a common threat with young children.
Parents tell them to do something. The child doesn�t want to. An argument ensues. The child throws a temper tantrum and threatens to run away.
Did you ever threaten to run away when you were a child?
Have you ever threatened to run away � or even actually done it as an adult?
It can happen after a severe argument, a breach in trust or a dumb decision.
The same can be true when it comes to God telling us he has something for us to do. We don�t want to do it, so we ignore God and walk away.
God wanted Jonah to be his prophet to Nineveh. God had heard things were happening in Nineveh that were very upsetting, so God wanted Jonah to warn the Ninevites that if they didn�t stop it and repent, God would wipe them out.
When Jonah heard this, he not only said, �No!� he said, �Heck no!� You see, Jonah had a deep-seated anger toward the Ninevites.
Jonah refused to see the big picture. He ran, not because of personal danger. Rather, he ran from his calling, his vocation, as a prophet of God. He ran because of a conflict of wills and purpose. God wanted to redeem the people. Jonah wanted to see the people destroyed. Jonah wanted God on his side, and God wasn�t.
Even if we try to run from God � physically, emotionally or spiritually � God still knows who we are and where we are.
Yes, we can pretend to ignore God, but we are never out of his presence.
As Paul reminds us in Acts 17:28, �In him we live and move and have our being.� God is at the very root of our existence.
When God calls people to do something for him, some folks react like Jonah. They attempt to run and hide.
Their reasoning is like Jonah�s: �I don�t like that person and I want nothing to do with them.�
Or it might sound like, �That doesn�t sound like any fun at all� or �I don�t have the time to do that.�
But when it comes to God�s call, let�s remember it is not all about �me.� It is all about God and what God wants.
I have reacted like Jonah on occasion during my ministry. Years ago, I stopped doing ministry as a full-time calling so I could pursue a new avenue: teaching computer science.
It was something I wanted to do, and I was good at it � but it wasn�t what God wanted me to do. God wouldn�t let go. He used several different people and circumstances to get my attention and I returned to full-time ministry.
You see, God�s will is going to be accomplished. I would encourage any who would attempt to run and hide from God to not bother. If God really wants you to do something, you will eventually recognize he has called you for a special purpose.
Different people react differently when they hear God�s call. If you are a person like Jonah, you might want to run. But remember, if you must run, don�t run away from God; run toward him.
The Rev. Mark Broadhead is Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church and First Presbyterian Church of Crestview's pastor.

Adaptation of type Diabetes Guideline for Primary Care, Saudi Arabia
Search Medline for
|July 10, 2012
Diabetes is a serious condition with potentially devastating complications. The impact of diabetes is felt in both developed and developing countries. Local studies show that the overall prevalence of diabetes in adults aged 30 years or more is 24%. Thus, Saudi population can be regarded as a moderate to high risk population for diabetes mellitus. A survey seeking the opinions of primary care physicians on the most important guidelines needed ranked Diabetes guideline highest. It is the most frequently encountered chronic disease in primary care. A search for international guidelines began. Guidelines had to be recent to be considered for adaptation. The highest scoring guideline in most domains of the AGREE was NICE, followed by the Canadian guideline, while the ADA scored quite low. The main guideline used for adaptation was the NICE, while the rest were used to fill the gaps. The guideline contents were analyzed. The developers looked at the sources of evidence and the quality of recommendations. The SORT taxonomy was used to classify LOEs. Gaps were identified and when answers were not found in the other guidelines, other sources of evidence were used to fill the gaps. The guideline included screening, diagnosis, management (both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, and managing complications. It also included areas specific to primary care, such as when to refer patients. Overall, the adaptation process highlighted important gaps for research in Saudi Arabia.


text: Higher 2013 Crop Insurance Premiums? September 29, 2012 05:54 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email USDA has an open-ended commitment to back up claims Do crop insurance companies have enough money to pay out billions of dollars in claims? Absolutely, says William Murphy, administrator of USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA), adding that in his 30 years in the business, he's never fielded so many questions from farmers on the subject. First, insurance companies are coming off 15 profitable years and should have the means to pay claims. USDA is there to back the claims if they lack the resources to pay up. RMA "stress-tests" companies annually to make sure they can handle back-to-back years of crop calamities, such as this one, before reinsuring them. Finally, USDA steps in to partially pay claims when they far exceed premiums, so companies are not put out of business and farmers get their money. Losses to balloon. The big question is whether premiums for 2013 will hit the roof due to be record payouts this year. Surprisingly, rates are unlikely to move up sharply in 2013. At press time, it was uncertain whether the new rates, to be announced in September or October, will include this year's losses. "We don't adjust rates every year," Murphy says. One year of losses is not expected to have a major impact on rates, which are calculated using up to 20 years of data. In 2011, RMA lowered rates for corn and soybeans based on lower losses in recent years than the historical average. The calculation will continue next year, as only part of the new and lower rates were introduced in 2012. Lower rates using the new methodology will be offered for the first time in 2013 for wheat, grain sorghum, rice, cotton and camelina. Estimates for final loss numbers range from $10 billion to $40 billion. Rex Williamson, a crop insurance agent in Payne, Ohio, acknowledges that rates could go up in some areas. But in his market area in the eastern Corn Belt, he says, "I don't think rates will go up for 2013." Premiums might be another matter, says Tom Zacharias, president of National Crop Insurance Services. Because premiums are based on both rates and insured liability, they could be higher in 2013 because the price of grain is likely to be higher in early 2013 than it was last year. Liability levels are based on February futures prices and the coverage farmers choose. Zacharias says it's like insuring a 2013 Lexus versus a 2000 Honda Civic. The rate might be the same, but because the value of the Lexus is higher, it costs more in total dollars to insure it. Similarly, higher-value crops cost more to insure, but your payout is much higher in years you face losses. Another reason rates are not likely to skyrocket is politics, in the view of Dan Sumner, ag economist at the University of California, Davis. "If [RMA] starts putting rates up, there will be some political pushback," he says. Beyond the new rate methodology, Murphy sees few changes for 2013. But one thing is certain: "The 75% of crop growers who participated this year will go up in 2013. It always does in the year following a crop failure." Get Ready for Means Testing Government support for crop insurance, both rate subsidies and payments, is under attack. But the 2012 farm bill is unlikely to contain a cap on subsidies by size of operation or income level, says Michael Parrish, director of government affairs for Monsanto. "This will be one of the major fights, however." Parrish notes that the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a critic of direct payments, shifted its emphasis to crop insurance subsidies once direct payments were stripped from the bills that passed the Senate and the House Agriculture Committee. Anything is possible in the Senate-House conference committee, but most do not see a cap on crop insurance in the final bill. However, Parrish expects other critics of farm program spending to join EWG in calling for a cap on crop insurance subsidies and payouts. "I think [Congress] will go to means testing for crop insurance in 2014–15," says Farm Journal economist Bob Utterback. The reason is exposure to the increasing national debt following enormous claim payouts this year by the government. "This is the real story," Utterback adds. "We can't expect open-ended liability."

The couple celebrated Dec. 28 at the Four Leaves Winery with a bevy of friends theyve made from their involvement in a variety of local organizations such as the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Durango, Rotary Club of Durango (hes a past president) and Durango Chapter of the American Association of University Women (shes the current president).
Theirs was a more, shall we say, exotic courtship than most. They met while both were working for the CIA, he in Tanzania and she in Kenya, when he came to Nairobi for some dental care. While it wasnt necessarily love at first sight, they ran into each other again while back in Washington, D.C., and three months later tied the knot before heading off to a joint posting to Tunisia.
It became a life of adventure on the Dark Continent, until they moved to Dallas, where she became a travel agent and returned to college to earn her doctorate in the humanities, and Dwight Burgess returned to Africa on and off as a contract worker for the CIA.
And then Guillain-Barre syndrome struck him, leading to a dramatic air transport to London and several years of treatment to overcome most of the symptoms, which include paralysis, unsteady gait and breathing and swallowing difficulties. Its incredibly rare, with only 0.001 percent of the population diagnosed with the autoimmune disease.
Looking back, Katherine Burgess said marriage is like a roll of the dice. Theres just no way to really know how well its going to work when walking down the aisle. Shes glad to know her roll turned up aces, if thats not too much of a mixed metaphor.
The party was low key and convivial just what guests needed at the end of the holiday season. And it was a reminder of the amazing cross section of people who have elected to make Durango the place to spend their golden years, and of the talents they have.
Many more healthy and happy years, Dwight and Katherine.
Happy Capricorn birthday greetings go to Tami Bradshaw, Garrett Moore, Paige Moore, Wyatt Moore, Mark Ugai, Chelsea Wendland, Isabelle Washburn, Terry Clark, Megan Shacklett, Marissa Campano, Joan Duncan, Mark Ugai, Melissa Cooksey, Eric Schadt, Caleb Anderson, Jim Ruetschle, Robb Bourdon, Zane Bourdon, Jasmine McCoy, Sydney McCoy, Ben Root, Ken Marshall, Jennifer Schadt, Ruth Shock, Mitchell Serwe, Harold Sparks, Alfred Rudolph, Carol Warren, Sara Rolph, Don Brown, Joyce Boyer, Jack Schuba, Scattie McGrath, Niall Byers, Sonja Bayley, George Spicer, Jon Powell and Martie Anderson.
Extra greetings go to three of my favorite ladies Mary Orsini, Nancy Conrad and Virginia Miller Cavanagh.
Briggen Wrinkle has had a busy few months as the new executive director of the Community Foundation Serving Southwest Colorado. She announced at her first public function in September that she was looking for four new board members, an important and time-consuming task when you want a working board.
And now they are on board. The newbies are Mike Hudson, a consultant and volunteer with the Boulder Foundation; Greg Riley, a gas and oil operator and rancher in Ignacio; June Russell, a certified public accountant, who recently moved here from Hawaii; and Melissa Zureich, executive vice president at First National Bank of Durango.
Christi Zeller, who has served on the board for the last year, has been elected to the position of vice president of the board.
I used to think the important number regarding the foundation was the value of the assets it administers. And while that number matters, there are others that matter so much more.
In 2011, while keeping operating costs at 8 percent of income, the foundation granted $1.3 million in the five counties it serves $400,000 in grants, $354,000 in scholarships and $561,000 to support programs.
It provides a fiscal sponsorship for about 25 nonprofits that gives them 501(c)3 benefits with the Internal Revenue Service, ranging from Dumpster Beautification to Durango Friends of the Arts, Regional Substance Abuse Prevention and Womens Health Coalition.
On the donor-advised fund side, for those who want philanthropy to be a sustainable effort, there are about 30 funds administered by the foundation. One of these funds can be started for as little as $2,500, so theres no need to be überwealthy.
Tim Walsworth, former president and CEO of United Way of Southwest Colorado, likened the organization to the communitys checkbook, while the foundation is its savings account. A large number of local nonprofits, almost 70, have savings accounts, or endowment funds, with the foundation, including the Adaptive Sports Association, Boys and Girls Club of La Plata County, Trails 2000 and the Womens Resource Center. (Just to give you an idea about the wide variety of organizations who have created funds with the foundation.)
New in 2012 was the Cornerstone Fund, an unrestricted fund created to support the ongoing overhead of the foundation and replenish its community grants fund. Its not the sexiest giving, but keeping the lights turned on is perhaps one of the most vital ways to help an organization whose mission you support.
If 2013 is the year for you to start your familys or your organizations fund with the foundation, call Wrinkle at 375-5807 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Rock n roll has been the soundtrack of my generation, so you can imagine my interest in A Perspective on the Evolution and Legacy of Rock Music and its Impact on American Generations, which former Los Angeles broadcaster Bob Griffith will present at 6 p.m. Friday at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Durango.
Griffith, who has spent more than 30 years in radio station operation and management, has had a front-row seat for much of rocks history. Hell have some fun with it, Im sure, but hell be taking a serious look as well.
One of the questions hell be asking is Did this genre of music lead or follow American culture from the late 20th century through to today? The music, the lifestyle changes, the characters and the tragedies that gave many young Americans their first taste of mortality are all included in his program.
The presentation is free. The fellowship is located at 419 San Juan Drive, southwest of Needham Elementary School.
Trying to stay warm in front of a roaring fire during this bitter cold for their anniversaries are Charlie and Martha Diehl, Warren and Marilyn Holland, Winston and Mary Marugg and Coy and Niki Bryant.
Heres how to reach me: firstname.lastname@example.com; phone 375-4584; mail items to the Herald; or drop them off at the front desk. Please include contact names and phone numbers for all items.
I am happy to consider photos for Neighbors, but they must be high-quality, high-resolution photos (at least 1 MB of memory) and include no more than three to five people. I need to know whos who, left to right, and who to credit with the photo.

Recently, I have been wrapping my mind arou d writing up some Star Wars based rules for the game, as the game rules system is very modular and supports that sort of thing. So far, I have finished the basic Army asses for the C.I.S, and Republic armies as well as a min expansion for the currently release Bounty Hunters and am nearly done with the writer on The Jedi.
If there is enough interest, I will gladly post the Star Wars conversions somewhere where people could grab it from. Additionally, I would greatly appreciate any and all advice or help in troubleshooting the rules and balancing the stats out, so if you like to help -- don't hesitate to let me know!

Unexplained Mysteries of World War II
Here is the publisher description of the book, "From Germany's invasion of Poland to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, from D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge to Iwo Jima and Bataan, the legendary battles and encounters of the Second World War have been the subjects of innumerable books. Yet, within the history of World War II, a wide range of mysterious, baffling, oddly coincidental, and inexplicable events remain. Now, critically acclaimed military historian William Breuer presents the first comprehensive book to focus on this vast, intriguing, and unexplored area. Over a period of years, Breuer collected materials from newspapers, magazines, military reports, correspondence, and interviews with the participants. His painstaking research uncovered a wealth of fascinating, at times startling, true tales: captivating cases of strange coincidences, curious happenings, and peculiar premonitions - all as vital a part of the war's history as its great campaigns, strategic designs, and high-level decisions. "
It is this part ("captivating cases of strange coincidences, curious happenings, and peculiar premonitions") which bugged me about the book. I did not find the various prominition or coincidence tales "unexplained" at all. Examples of this are Churchill deciding to switch seats in a car saving his life, Mrs. Eisenshower's predictions of her husbands greatness, a sailor who begs to go on a mission and is refused saving his life, etc. There were millions of soldiers and civilians involved in World War II. The sheer numbers indicate statistically that by chance some coincindences, near misses, correct dreams, etc. would happen.
In a response I made to a comment on my Caesar Assassination post where a reader argued that soothsayers had acurately predicted Caesar' death, "And the National Enquirer makes lots of grim predictions too. Will future historians ignore the 99% of the time that the tabloid was wrong and claim the 1% successful predictions as great prophecy? And then as historical fact? How many times did those old soothsayers make inaccurate predictions? History ignores those and highlights that one successful guess!"
Of course, Breuer ignores the stories of soldiers who made predictions and had dreams which did not happen. He ignored the many times that soldiers had preminitions, acted on them, and got hurt while had they did what they normally did would have been OK. I would think that the majority of preminitions (which were wrong) were never written down or even orally passed on.
Again, I liked this book. I stated some of my reasons already. But this sort of preminition/coincidence type of tabloid history bugs me. I wish it had been left out. There are enough unexplained World War Two stories out there to have left this sort of content out.

Why would the author want to leave that out? While I have not read the book myself I am sure I will. I think that is what he was/is focusing on. That is the point of the whole book is it not? Simple because of the amount of people involved that by mere chance they were correct?
I now look forward to finding this book to read. As a newly introduced Military Historian I think it will be a great a read simply based on what you have said.

"That is the point of the whole book is it not?"
No, the majority of the book focuses on missing people and why military leaders ignored obvious intelligence which would have changed history. That is some serious and real unsolved mysteries.
Only about 20% is tabloidish and should have been left out.
Enjoy the book.

Thanks for sharing the some serious and real unsolved mysteries on - Unexplained Mysteries of World War II .
Enjoy the reading....... :)

I really like your website. I've been collaborating on a timeline of the history of Wold War 2 at http://timelines.com/topics/world-war-2, on a website called http://timelines.com. Anyone is free to contribute to it and enhance it with images, videos, or commentary.
Our idea is to create an interactive historical record of anything and everything, based on specific events that combine to form timelines. We're trying to achieve a sort of user-created multimedia encyclopedia, in which no event is too big and no event is too small, and where each event can contain various types of resources, such as video, images, maps, etc. It's also a good way to direct traffic to your blog because your events will pop up along with anything else that's thematically related. We're also planning on creating an embeddable version of our timelines in the near future.

I have not read the book and don't intend to for I have no reason to read it unless it was written by a ex- veteran of WW ll, my self didn't fight in this war I was about 3 years to young, but remembering listening to the radio ( no TV at that time)when news broke saying how Hitler had killed so many Jews by gassing them, very soon after the war it was shown pictures of furnace with human bones still in them that had not burned up completely, it was in the movies show the horror that the Nazis did to so many people not only Jews but other
The person who made the comment ( because of the amount of people involved that by mere chance they were correct ) I believe this person is a none believer, how do they say "seeing is believing "
I don't believe I would want to read a book that of some ones thoughts how events happened
thank you

Treasure Hunter Vision 3030
Because you asked for it!
Inspiring. Incredible. Amazing. A young girl's metal detecting success story with her Treasure Hunter Vision 3030 from a couple of years back!
Armed with nothing but her Treasure Hunter Vision 3030, her 3rd grade education, her boundless curiosity, and quiet determination, this 8-year old blew seasoned detectorists out of the water with her haul over a three-month hunting season.
My Grandaughter, this Spring has been detecting with me most days for the last 3-months. The beach here can be a lucrative spot, in the mornings and late afternoons, so there are usually a number of other hunters. She has consistently gone behind myself and other Metal Detectorists with the 3030 metal detector that I purchased for her, and picked up valuable target after target right behind myself and my friends with our thousand dollar machines. She found two large carat diamond rings, her total cache by the end of the holiday was over 50k - Not too bad for an 8yr old girl.
Perry Stewart, Miami South Beach
The following is a review of Treasure Hunter's Vision 3030 and Vision-Pro
Review By Lost Treasure Magazine
The All-Vision Pro & MD-3030 detectors have been designed to provide features sought by today's treasure hunters. For example, visual target ID is a feature many coin and beach hunters find extremely useful but is typically not found on sub-$200 detectors. Treasure Hunter incorporated this as well as other features such as depth reading, tone target ID and "turn-on-and-go" operation into their detectors while keeping a tight reign on the over-all price.
Both units tested include VLF circuitry, an LCD display with target ID indication, a waterproof 8" coil, 1/8" headphone jack and use 2 9-V batteries. Discriminate and All-Metal search modes are found on both models, with the MD-3030 also having a Notch search mode. The search coil is hard-wired into the control housing on the All-Vision Pro and removable on the MD-3030 (this allows optional coils to be sued when they are available in the future).
The most obvious difference between the two models is the shaft/housing design. The MD-3030 uses a straight shaft with a handgrip on the housing and an adjustable armrest. The shaft length is adjustable by turning the collar in sliding the two-pieces to the desired length. The All-Vision Pro uses the more familiar S-rod with the control housing mounted on the shaft just in front of the handgrip. The shaft length is adjustable through a locking collar/spring-clip system. Both designs serve their function - selecting one is a matter of personal preference.
The MD-3030 is controlled by 7 touch pads on the control housing, an ON/OFF switch, and a volume control. There are three search modes - All Metal, Discriminate and Notch - selected through the 3 mode touch pads. Sensitivity is adjusted by pressing the SENS touch pad and then using the UP/DOWN touch pads. The Discriminate and Notch controls work a bit differently than on other detectors. When you switch to the DISC mode, maximum discrimination/rejection is in effect (appears as a single black segment on the far right side of the display). At this setting only copper, clad or silver coins (and targets of similar properties) will produce an audio/visual signal. To accept more targets, press the UP touch pad to add additional black segments beneath the types of targets you are interested in finding. Remember that as more target types are accepted, you will wind up digging more trash as well as good targets. Use the discrimination circuit to eliminate most of the trash in a given area so that you can find more good targets in a given amount of time.
The MD-3030 also features a 3-tone target ID system in which iron, foil, nickels and some jewelry produce a low tone; most rings, pull tabs, screw caps and zinc pennies a medium tone; and coins and silver jewelry a high tone.This is a nice feature especially if you are hunting in dim or no light conditions such as on a beach after the crowds have left and you cannot see the LCD display.
The All-Vision Pro is simplicity itself in that in only has two knobs to adjust. The DETECTION DEPTH control turns the detector on and adjusts the units' power output or sensitivity. The TRASH ELIMINATION control is used to select what targets are accepted and which are rejected. The LCD display provides the probable ID of detected targets, battery condition and a dual-segment pinpointing system (segments come in from both edges of the meter and when they come the closest together, the target is directly beneath the center of the coil).
Field Test
The timing for this field test worked out perfectly as the detectors arrived the day before I flew back up to Pennsylvania. My son Paul, who has been my detecting partner since he was old enough to walk and has become quite a proficient hunter in his own right, wanted to get involved in conducting this field test so we sat down and read over the instruction manual.
We opted to go to a large public park nearby with a section for children called "KidsBurg" which had the usual assortment of climbing equipment, swings and slides in a wood chip base which would target recovery a snap. As we unloaded the detectors from the car we noticed someone else from the local club already hunting the area. Paul turned the MD-3030 on, selected the DISC mode and adjusted the discrimination to accept everything other than Iron and Foil. Signals were not plentiful; however, the MD-3030 did ferret out several coins at depths down to 7". Pinpointing was accomplished by "wiggling" the coil over the area where a detected target was found and watching the depth indication on the LCD display. When the shallowest indication was received, the target was under the center of the coil. Practicing this at home on targets you've buried in the yard will payoff in terms of being able to recover targets in the field faster and with less damage to the area you are hunting in. We spent an hour or so at this location and picked up a number of coins - some had obviously been there a while and missed by other detectorists showing that no place is ever worked out.
Returning to South Carolina, I took both detectors to several local parks and schools to see what might turn up. There hasn't been much rain lately so I stuck to the areas with sand, gravel or wood chips to make target recovery easier. Alternating between the two detectors and in some cases comparing signals, I spent several hours hunting these sites. Coins were recovered in each location, and most cases, very little trash turned up due to a combination of discrimination setting and checking the target ID reading before recovering targets.
The current line of (Treasure Hunter) metal detectors won't replace your top-of-the-line detector but that was never their goal. They provide affordable detectors ranging from $89 to $599. Their metal detectors are great for the beginner and some of the more advanced models provide room for growth as well as making a great replacement unit to your primary detector. Both come with a 5-year warranty.
Be sure to mention that you read about their detectors in Lost Treasure!
What makes the 3030 metal detector so powerful? Good Question, this metal detector is equipped with Treasure Hunter's patented Z-100 microprocessor that is able to discriminate iron from silver at depths exceeding 9 inches.
The Vision 3030, has full spectrum discrimination with the added function of disc/notch - select for or against ranges in phase response. In other words, you can set the detector to only detect silver, or only detect copper, etc., etc.
The oversized LCD screen provides target ID, as well as target depth readout. Because of the powerful Z-100 processor, the Vision 3030 metal detector has better discrimination at greater depths than almost any other metal detector in the same price range.
The beloved 3030 by Treasure Hunter amazing depth and discrimination accuracy continues to astonish experts by their remarkable performance, every time.
We have a very limited number of TH Vision 3030 metal detectors available with the "Accessory Package A." Due to the high demand for these highly accurate, easy to use, deep-search metal detectors, we have only a very small number left in stock and, unfortunately, because Treasure Hunter cannot keep up with demand, they will be sold out way before Christmas this year.
Do not get left behind; once they are gone, they are gone...
