text: « Return to Search Mass. Eye and Ear Ranked a Top Hospital by U.S. News & World Report July 15, 2014 Ranked in top 5 in ophthalmology and ear, nose & throat, first in New England Contact: Mary Leach 617-573-4170 BOSTON (July 15, 2014) -- Massachusetts Eye and Ear ranks as one of the top hospitals in the nation for both of its specialties in the 2014 U.S. News & World Report magazine's "Best Hospitals" survey. Mass. Eye and Ear ranked fourth in the nation and first in New England for both Ophthalmology (Eyes) and ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat). U.S. News & World Report has ranked Mass. Eye and Ear in the top 10 in one or both of its specialties since the magazine began publishing its annual survey of hospitals in 1990. This year more than 5,000 hospitals from around the country were surveyed and scored based on quality measures and reputation. "Mass. Eye and Ear physicians, nurses, clinicians and staff offer high-quality, compassionate, specialized care to patients every day. In addition, our clinician-scientists and researchers are making tremendous advances toward finding cures," said John Fernandez, Mass. Eye and Ear President & CEO. "These rankings are gratifying because they help spread the word about the quality of care that we provide and the impact our caregivers make on the lives of so many." In 2009, Mass. Eye and Ear and Mass General formalized a collaboration in ophthalmology and otolaryngology care, which is why the two hospitals are ranked together.

No. 82,1511
ROBERT D. HANNIGAN, et al.,
1. K.A.R. 44-6-141(e) is analyzed and discussed.
2. When interpreting regulations, the courts give great weight and judicial deference to the interpretation made by the administrative body charged with enforcing the regulations.
3. K.S.A. 21-4608(c) mandates consecutive sentences as a harsher penalty for crimes committed by a defendant while on probation, parole, post-release supervision, or conditional release.
4. K.S.A. 21-4608(f)(4) requires that sentences be aggregated for certain purposes. One purpose specifically mentioned in the statute is the calculation of an inmate's maximum date.
5. The Department of Corrections must treat an aggregated sentence as the sentence requiring the longest period of incarceration to reach the maximum date.
Appeal from Reno District Court; WILLIAM F. LYLE, JR., and ROBERT C. HELSEL, judges. Opinion filed December 3, 1999. Affirmed.
Michael C. Robinson, of Reynolds, Forker, Berkley, Suter & Rose, of Hutchinson, for the appellant.
Jon D. Graves, special assistant attorney general, of Kansas Department of Corrections, for the appellee.
Before BRAZIL, P.J., LEWIS, J., and MARLA J. LUCKERT, District Judge, assigned.
LUCKERT, J.: Johnny R. Carnes appeals the summary denial of his petition filed pursuant to K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 60-1501. Carnes disputes the Department of Correction's (DOC) calculation of his maximum release date, arguing the date should be February 7, 1997, rather than February 3, 2000, as calculated by the DOC. After hearing evidence, the trial judge denied Carnes' petition and concluded that the February 3, 2000, release date was correct. We affirm.
In 1982, Carnes was sentenced to concurrent terms for four cases, resulting in a controlling sentence of 5 to 15 years. In 1988, Carnes was released on parole. While on parole, he committed a new crime for which he was sentenced to the custody of DOC to serve a 1- to 2-year term with the sentence to run consecutive to his earlier sentence. Thus, his aggregated sentence was a minimum term of 6 years and a maximum term of 17 years. On May 25, 1994, Carnes was again released from custody; he was placed on conditional release. He was returned to the custody of DOC on July 28, 1994, as a conditional release violator with no new criminal sentence.
Upon his return to custody as a conditional release violator, DOC calculated his maximum release date as February 3, 2000. DOC determined this date by first determining the sentence begins minimum date. This was calculated by (1) starting with the sentencing date from his 1988 case; (2) subtracting jail credit (4 months and 1 day); and (3) subtracting penal credit (3 years, which is one-half of his minimum sentence). The result was a sentence begins minimum date of May 25, 1985. To this was added his controlling aggregated sentence, which was a 6-year minimum and a 17-year maximum. The resulting sentence end minimum date was May 25, 1991, and the sentence end maximum date was May 25, 2002. DOC then credited the maximum controlling sentence with the 2 years, 3 months, and 22 days of time Carnes had served beyond his parole eligibility date on the 1982 cases. This resulted in a controlling maximum release date of February 3, 2000.
Carnes does not dispute any aspect of credit granted to him for time served or the manner in which it was credited. Carnes' disagreement is with the application of the 17-year aggregated maximum term. He argues K.A.R. 44-6-141(e) should be interpreted so that the consecutive sentence of 1 to 2 years be run concurrent with the 15-year sentence. Under this interpretation, Carnes should have been released from custody on February 7, 1997.
K.A.R. 44-6-141(e) provides:
"Violator returned past conditional release without new sentence. When a conditional release violator is returned without new sentences and the conditional release date has been reached on all other sentences, the maximum term of each active sentence shall be added to each of the sentence begins dates. The sentence requiring the longest period of incarceration to reach the maximum date shall be identified as the controlling maximum date and its length of sentence shall be the controlling maximum term."
Carnes argues the 15-year sentence is the longest period of incarceration and, thus, establishes the controlling maximum date.
DOC argues that K.A.R. 44-6-141(e) cannot be read in isolation but must be construed consistently with K.S.A. 21-4608(f)(4) and other portions of K.A.R. 44-6-141. DOC interpreted the provisions, when taken as a whole, to require that the sentences be aggregated and that the aggregated 17-year sentence be applied as the longest period of incarceration.
Resolving the issue of the appropriate maximum release date requires this court to review the trial court's conclusions of law and interpret K.S.A. 21-4608(f)(4) and K.A.R. 44-6-141(e). These determinations involve questions of law over which this court has unlimited review. Gilmore v. McKune, 23 Kan. App. 2d 1029, 1032, 940 P.2d 78 (1997). In construing the relevant statutes, this court must apply the fundamental rule of statutory construction, to which all other rules are subordinate, that the intent of the legislature governs if that intent can be ascertained. The legislature is presumed to have expressed its intent through the language of the statutory scheme it enacted. When a statute is plain and unambiguous, the court must give effect to the intention of the legislature as expressed, rather than determine what the law should or should not be. In re Marriage of Killman, 264 Kan. 33, 42-43, 955 P.2d 1228 (1998). To determine the meaning of statutes and regulations, all provisions, in pari materia, must be construed together. State v. Bolin, 266 Kan. 18, 24, 968 P.2d 1104 (1998).
When interpreting regulations, the courts give great weight and judicial deference to the interpretation made by the administrative body charged with enforcing the regulations. See Pouncil v. Kansas Employment Security Bd. of Review, 25 Kan. App. 2d 740, 744, 970 P.2d 547 (1998). Under the doctrine of operative construction, "'[t]he agency's interpretation of a challenged statute may, in fact, be entitled to controlling significance in judicial proceedings. Further, if there is a rational basis for the agency's interpretation, it should be upheld on judicial review.'" 25 Kan. App. 2d at 745 (quoting Kansas Univ. Police Officers Ass'n v. Public Employee Relations Bd., 16 Kan. App. 2d 438, 440, 828 P.2d 369 [1991]).
There is a rational basis for DOC's interpretation and application of its regulation because that interpretation is consistent with K.S.A. 21-4608, which states in relevant part:
"(c) Any person who is convicted and sentenced for a crime committed while on probation, assignment to a community correctional services program, on parole, on conditional release or on postrelease supervision for a felony shall serve the sentence consecutively to the term or terms under which the person was on probation, assigned to a community correctional services program or on parole or conditional release.
. . . .
"(f) . . .
(4) When indeterminate sentences are imposed to be served consecutively to sentences previously imposed . . . the aggregated minimums and maximums shall be computed from the effective date of the subsequent sentences which have been imposed as consecutive. For the purpose of determining the sentence begins date and the parole eligibility and conditional release dates, the inmate shall be given credit on the aggregate sentence for time spent imprisoned on the previous sentences, but not exceeding an amount equal to the previous minimum sentence less the maximum amount of good time credit that could have been earned on the minimum sentence. For the purpose of computing the maximum date, the inmate shall be given credit for all time spent imprisoned on the previous sentence."
Through K.S.A. 21-4608(c), the legislature mandated consecutive sentences as a harsher penalty for crimes committed by a defendant while on probation, parole, post-release supervision, or conditional release. Blomeyer v. State, 22 Kan. App. 2d 382, 385, 915 P.2d 790, rev. denied, 260 Kan. 991 (1996). Under K.S.A. 21-4608(f)(4), the sentences must be aggregated for certain purposes. While the holding in Blomeyer limited use of the aggregated sentence to those applications specifically detailed in the statute, the calculation of a maximum date is one of the purposes specifically mentioned.
Consequently, when DOC applied the provisions of K.A.R. 44-6-141(e) requiring that "the maximum term of each active sentence . . . be added to each of the sentence begins dates," there was only one sentence begins date and only the aggregated 17-year sentence to be added. DOC was required to treat the aggregated sentence as "[t]he sentence requiring the longest period of incarceration to reach the maximum date." K.A.R. 44-6-141(e).
The trial court did not err by dismissing Carnes' 60-1501 petition. Carnes' reading of K.A.R. 44-6-141(e) is incorrect. DOC correctly calculated Carnes' sentence. Consequently, he is not entitled to relief.
1REPORTER'S NOTE: Previously filed as an unpublished opinion, the Supreme Court granted a motion to publish by an order dated February 11, 2000, pursuant to Rule 7.04 (1999 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 44).

SF Film Society (& 5 Others) Partner With Sundance #Artist Services/
Sundance Institute Artist Services Program Expands Self-Distribution Opportunities
to Filmmakers Supported by Six Additional Organizations
The Bertha Foundation │ BRITDOC │ Cinereach │ Film Independent Independent Filmmaker Project │ San Francisco Film Society
Artist Services Announces Collaboration with REELHOUSE, VHX, VIMEO and TUGG, Offering Filmmakers Additional Platforms and Tools
Los Angeles, CA — Keri Putnam, Executive Director of Sundance Institute, today announced that the Institute's Artist Services program – which provides Institute artists with exclusive opportunities for creative self-distribution, marketing and financing solutions for their work – has expanded to include selected films supported by one foundation and five nonprofit organizations. Additionally, these organizations will join with Sundance Institute in continuing to shape the program and the services it offers.
The Bertha Foundation, BRITDOC, Cinereach, Film Independent, the Independent Filmmaker Project and the San Francisco Film Society will each select films that they have supported to receive access to best- in-class digital distribution arrangements that have been negotiated by Sundance Institute Artist Services. These services are targeted for filmmakers who intend to pursue an independent release plan. In support of these filmmakers, the Institute will curate submitted films and work closely each organization, the filmmakers, and exclusive aggregation partner Cinedigm – New Video to develop independent distribution strategies. Furthermore, each organization will work with the Institute to expand educational opportunities to their alumni building on the model of the Artist Services Workshop that takes place each year during the Sundance Film Festival.
"Now more than ever filmmakers need to be creative and entrepreneurial in order to get their stories to audiences. Sundance Institute embraces cross-organizational collaboration in an effort to increase the collective impact on the field; it is in this spirit that we welcome the input of our colleagues to further help us shape the Artist Services program, " said Putnam. "Our hope is that it contributes to the long-term sustainability of independent film careers and a greater diversity of films reaching audiences each year."
With the addition of new partners Tugg, Reelhouse, VHX, and Vimeo, Sundance Institute is expanding its suite of digital platforms and tools offered by Artist Services. Current partners include ten digital retailers as well as Kickstarter , GoWatchIt, and Topspin Media. Tugg is a web-platform that allows fans to create screening events at their local theater. Direct-to-fan platforms Reelhouse, VHX and Vimeo, like longtime Artist Services collaborator Topspin Media, will work with Sundance Institute and its interested supported filmmakers to develop opportunities to sell their films and merchandise directly to end users. All four new partners will participate in the annual Artist Services Workshop on Monday, January 21, at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
Since the Artist Services program launched in January 2011, more than $3.2 million has been raised for nearly 100 Institute artists' projects via Kickstarter and more than 40 films are now accessible by the public on a variety of platforms and storefronts.
The exclusive aggregation partner for distribution participating in the Artist Services program is Cinedigm – New Video. The Artist Services initiative is made possible by The Bertha Foundation. These deals were brokered via pro bono legal services generously provided by law firm O'Melveny & Myers LLP, which has built the legal framework for the Artist Services program and participating filmmakers since its inception.
Sundance Institute
Founded by Robert Redford in 1981, Sundance Institute is a global, nonprofit cultural organization dedicated to nurturing artistic expression in film and theatre, and to supporting intercultural dialogue between artists and audiences. The Institute promotes independent storytelling to unite, inform, and inspire, regardless of geopolitical, social, religious, or cultural differences. Internationally recognized for its annual Sundance Film Festival and its artistic development programs for directors, screenwriters, producers, film composers, playwrights, and theatre artists, Sundance Institute has nurtured such projects as Born Into Brothels, Trouble the Water, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Amreeka, An Inconvenient Truth, Spring Awakening, Light in the Piazza, and Angels in America. Join Sundance Institute on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
The Bertha Foundation
"The Bertha Foundation has been a proud supporter of the Artist Services initiative since it began," said Rebecca Lichtenfeld of Bertha Philanthropies. "It not only gives films the much-deserved opportunity to reach broader audiences but it also offer resources for the filmmaker and producers that assist with their distribution strategies. We are looking forward to this next phase of the initiative and the support it will provide Bertha Foundation film grantees among others." http://www.berthafoundation.org/
"Wow. Thank you, Sundance Institute." remarked Jess Search, CEO Britdoc Foundation, "BRITDOC is delighted to be joining Artist Services and to be able to get some films we love to audiences who will love them also. Artist Services is just the kind of smart distribution intervention that independent filmmakers, independent organizations like ours and independent audiences need. Kudos to Sundance Institute for having put it together and we look forward to being part of the innovations to come." http://britdoc.org/
Philipp Engelhorn, Founder & Executive Director, Cinereach, stated, "Artist Services is a tremendous resource for producers who are committed to releasing their films with the same independent spirit it took to create them. We're thrilled that Sundance Institute has opened this door for filmmakers, and look forward to being part of the dedicated family of organizations coming together to offer collective support."
Film Independent
Josh Welsh, Co-President Film Independent, commented, "At a time when the biggest challenge isn't so much making your film as it is getting it out into the world in a meaningful way, the Artist Services program provides a great opportunity for us to continue supporting the filmmakers we work with in our Labs and at the Los Angeles Film Festival, and to help them fully reach their audiences." http://www.filmindependent.org/
Independent Filmmaker Project
Executive Director, IFP, Joana Vicente said, "It's been exciting to see how Artist Services has flourished in the past year, and to see how many projects are reaping its benefits. IFP is thrilled to be collaborating with Sundance Institute on this initiative, as Artist Services is the perfect platform for what we have been doing for years: supporting filmmakers' marketing and distribution efforts, ensuring that great independent work reaches and connects with audiences." http://www.ifp.org/
San Francisco Film Society,
Ted Hope, Executive Director of the San Francisco Film Society, said, "The Sundance Institute Artist Services program is the most robust set of options for any filmmaker recognizing the full responsibility of independence. It's an incredible privilege for SFFS to be invited to help guide filmmakers and their work into this new era." www.sffs.org/

Lost Planet 2
Version and / or Patch Used: Benchmark Demo
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark - Test A Scene 1
Developer Homepage: http://www.capcom.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.lostplanet2game.com/
Lost Planet 2 is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the sequel to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition which is also made by Capcom, taking place ten years after the events of the first game, on the same fictional planet. The story takes place back on E.D.N. III 10 years after the events of the first game. The snow has melted to reveal jungles and more tropical areas that have taken the place of more frozen regions. The plot begins with Mercenaries fighting against Jungle Pirates. After destroying a mine, the Mercenaries continue on to evacuate the area, in which a Category-G Akrid appears and attacks them. After being rescued, they find out their evacuation point (Where the Category-G appeared) was a set-up and no pick up team awaited them. The last words imply possible DLC additions to the game, "There's nothing to be gained by wiping out snow pirates... unless you had some kind of grudge."
The extra Shaders manage to give us a nice boost at 2560 x 1600 which equates to 7 FPS. When you throw those extra MHz into the mix, that becomes a 12 FPS gain over the stock GTX 480 which is very impressive. Unfortunately we're still below that 60 FPS number we want to see.

(((blush))) I have news! At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to post this (shuffle, shuffle), but if there is anyone I would like to share this bit news with, it is the good people who actually visit my little corner of the cyber-world.

Yummy is a relatively new food magazine; this is only its fourth issue. So far, I have been happy with what I find between its covers. It has a fresh and contemporary vibe that I like, clean and hip food styling, and smart features.
So if you'd like to see what I like to hide in my larder, you can grab a copy at the newsstand. If not, there are lots of other interesting things to peruse. I know I'm going to be checking out:
- The shopping guide to our urban markets and specialty stores
- The gourmet take on bangus (milkfish) by fellow foodblogger Anne of Eat Bagnus (I love bangus!)

|MLBPA Press Release
Todays grants are part of the players previously announced $1 million, long-term commitment to help Haitians overcome the affects of this devastating disaster.
Recovering and rebuilding after a natural disaster is an ongoing and difficult process, and Major Leaguers are committed to making sure the needs of Haiti continue to be met, said Curtis Granderson, MLBPA representative and New York Yankees outfielder. As we approach the anniversary of the earthquake, we urge others to do their part to make sure the needs of Haiti are not forgotten.
The Players Trusts generous donation to PROJECT C.U.R.E. allows us to provide life-saving medical supplies and equipment to hospitals, clinics and partners on the ground in Haiti so that hurting patients can receive desperately-needed care, said George Roberge, vice president of operations for PROJECT C.U.R.E. We are very grateful for the Players Trusts continued support of our organization.
The Players Trust was one of the first to reach out to the people of Haiti after the earthquake, said Tim Bilodeau, Medicines for Humanitys executive director. In response to the recent cholera epidemic, the organization took action once again -- not only to help treat cholera, but also to prevent its spread. Through the Players Trust, Major Leaguers continue to demonstrate their steadfast commitment to save lives in Haiti.
PROJECT C.U.R.E. (Commission on Urgent Relief & Equipment) has been shipping medical supplies and equipment to a hospital in Marchand Dessalines to help fight the cholera outbreak. In addition to tubing, needles and catheters, these shipments also include much-needed IV fluids. PROJECT C.U.R.E. was founded in 1987 to help meet the need for medical supplies, equipment and services around the world.
Medicines for Humanity (MFH) has worked to improve maternal and child health in Haiti for more than eight years, and they will use the Trust contribution to cover the costs of oral rehydration salts, water purification tablets, doxycycline hyclate and zinc sulphate monohydrate. All of these items will help in the prevention of the spread of cholera. MFH has been a partner of the Players Trust since 2002 in providing lifesaving medicines and health services to people in the Dominican Republic.
In January of this year, Major Leaguers announced their pledge to provide grants totaling up to $1 million over the next five years to support the efforts of non-profit organizations working to help Haiti recover from the earthquake. At that time, the Players Trust announced $100,000 contributions each to Esperanza and Medicines for Humanity.
The pledge to Haiti matched the single largest financial contribution ever made by the Players Trust. In 2005, in a demonstration of their commitment to rebuilding the Gulf region following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Players Trust presented a gift of $1 million to launch the Volunteers of America Rental Housing Development Fund. That contribution, along with contributions from other organizations, was used to develop affordable rental housing in the Gulf Coast region.
About the Major League Baseball Players Trust
The members of the Major League Baseball Players Association created the Players Trust, a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation, to provide resources of caring to those in need by volunteering in causes close to their hearts and encouraging others to do the same. The foundation became the first of its kind in professional sports established and administered by the players.

Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina + More Step Up for CMA Fest Celeb Softball Game
Every year, country music kicks off CMA Fest by giving back. Before the acts and their hordes of fans descend on Nashville to indulge in great food and even better music, dozens of stars participate in the City of Hope's annual Celebrity Softball Challenge to raise money for cancer research.
This year, Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina, Florida Georgia Line, Chuck Wicks, Brett Eldredge, Krystal Keith and more have committed to step up to the plate and participate in the big game. The Softball Challenge benefits the City of Hope, a leading research and treatment center for patients who suffer from cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases.
In the 23 years since it was implemented, the annual City of Hope Celebrity Softball Challenge has raised more than $2 million for the organization.
This year, rival teams the Grand Ole Opry and After MidNite with Blair Garner will pit against each other at Greer Stadium in Nashville on June 8 at 9AM CT.
"We're so proud to be a part of this special event each year as we help support the amazing work City of Hope is doing to help those with cancer," said Garner (quote via Country Music Is Love). "We encourage country music fans to come out to the ballpark and watch their favorite stars as we battle it out for this great cause!"
You can purchase tickets to the face-off here. Don't miss your chance to see your fave country stars battling -- and hopefully talking some trash -- all while raising money for a good cause. Let's play ball!

Gertrude Noone was a 44-year-old insurance policy clerk for Travelers in Hartford, Conn., in 1943 when she enlisted in the Women's Army Corps.
When she died peacefully Thursday morning at age 110 at an assisted-living facility in Milford, Conn., she was the oldest known living military veteran in the world -- a fact that made her proud.
"Oh, she loved it," Deborah Woods, a grandniece, said Friday. "She felt it was important to serve when she did during World War II."
Noone, who rose to the rank of sergeant first class, was chief clerk of the large dispensary at Ft. Myer, Va., by the time she left the Army in 1949. She then worked as an administrative assistant at a private psychiatric hospital in Stamford, Conn., until retiring in 1962.
Bob Johnson, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who has spent the last 19 years helping World War I and World War II veterans receive recognition and awards, said the title of the world's oldest known living military veteran passed to Noone when British World War I veteran Harry Patch died July 25 at 111.
Johnson first heard of Noone last fall and worked to have the Department of Veterans Affairs recognize her as America's oldest living veteran.
"As a World War II veteran," he said, "she was older than the two living World War I veterans living in the United States," Canadian-born John Babcock, 109; and Frank Buckles, 108.
Woods, who praised Johnson's efforts in getting recognition for her great-aunt, said one of the highlights of Noone's life came in March when Secretary of the Army Pete Geren visited her at her home at the Carriage Green assisted-living facility.
Honoring her in recognition of Women's History Month and the Army's Year of the Non-Commissioned Officer, Geren called Noone "a woman who has served with great distinction."
"What better representative of those two occasions," he is reported to have said. "She has lived a life that has been part of the history of our country and our Army."
One of 10 children, Noone was born Dec. 30, 1898, in Ansonia, Conn.
All nine of Noone's siblings predeceased her. The most recent was her sister Esther Balogh, who served as an Army nurse during World War II and died in 2003 at 103.
Noone, who never married, lived with Balogh for many years until 2002, when she moved into Carriage Green, where she joined the gardening club and participated in a weekly exercise group.
Although Woods said her "fiercely independent" great-aunt "was winding down a bit" over the last year, she continued to read the daily newspaper and watch CNN. She also made a point of voting in the presidential election in November.
"She voted for John McCain," Woods said, "but she wondered if maybe he was too old to be president."
As for Noone, Woods said, "she never gave into age, never complained about anything. She was a very upbeat person, smart as a tack and had a very clever sense of humor."
Indeed, Woods said, "she never thought of herself as elderly. She absolutely did not. Somebody told her once that she didn't look a day over 80, and she said, 'Do you think I look that old?' "
Noone will be buried with full military honors today at Mount St. Peter's Cemetery in Derby, Conn.

Bit by bit, the new sanctuary of Bob's Creek Baptist Church is being built — a project that has involved the entire congregation at some point, as well as a lot of faith in God's providence.
ZIRCONIA — Bit by bit, the new sanctuary of Bob's Creek Baptist Church is being built — a project that has involved the entire congregation at some point, as well as a lot of faith in God's providence.
To help things along (the building is now in the dry), a special dinner and auction on May 3 is geared to satisfy at least part of what is needed to complete construction.
"This is a debt-free project," says the Rev. A.D. Holloway, pastor at Bob's Creek Baptist Church. "It's been paid for as we go."
The suggested donation for the chicken and steak dinner provided by Outback Steakhouse is $10, though church member Terry Gilliland says no one will be turned away.
The congregation is hoping the dinner and some choice auction items will attract people from all over the area.
"We are a small church that has a desire to grow in the Lord," says Terry Maybin, who with her husband, Homer, has been a member of the church for three years.
"We are on a mission to get people involved and to help people make the most important decision in their life from a spiritual perspective," she adds.
"The new sanctuary is the next step that we need to achieve this mission."
A Kodiak Cutter bushhog and three different ticket packages to Charlotte Motor Speedway are among the items to be auctioned on May 3.
Two iPad Airs will be given away in a raffle, and vendors, such as Mary Kay Cosmetics, will be demonstrating products.
"There's a buzz in the air," says Holloway, who has been pastor at Bob's Creek for six years.
The existing sanctuary, a simple single-story white clapboard structure, is about 60 years old and seats about 50 to 60 people. The sanctuary building has no bathrooms, and the adjoining fellowship hall holds just one Sunday school classroom.
The new building, on property adjacent to the original buildings, will seat 250 and have 10 rooms for classes and child care, as well as a kitchen and fellowship hall.
"This will be a game changer for the history of Bob's Creek Baptist," Holloway says. "It will create opportunities that they haven't seen thus far."
The building is now awaiting insulation, as well as drywall, furniture, audiovisual equipment, plumbing and electrical work.
Gilliland, a member of the building committee, says about $100,000 is needed to obtain the certificate of occupancy, and about $24,000 has been raised to date.
Looking back
Bob's Creek Baptist Church was organized on April 22, 1948, under the leadership of W.R. Hester and Eugene Woods.
Sarah, Addie and Phil Jones donated the original land, and meetings took place in a brush arbor on the property until a church building was completed.
In 1989 church members purchased the property adjoining the original church property from Sheryl Davis, with the idea to expand.
In 2008, the church took a step of faith and began constructing the new church building.
"For a small congregation such as Bob's Creek, this has been a monumental task," Holloway says. "Their patience and perseverance have been exceptional.
"Even though it's a smaller congregation, it's bursting at the seams with talent and ability," he adds. Bob's Creek Baptist has about 40 to 45 members.
Both the land purchase and the construction thus far have been accomplished through available cash funds.
The exposed block work, which was started in 2009, has been stenciled in numerous places with "John 3:16" — perhaps a reminder of the true foundation of the church.
Church members have set a timeline goal — to hold the first service in the new building for homecoming, in late September.
"Even if we have to sit on buckets, we will have a service here for homecoming," Holloway says.
Josh Gilliland, 25, has "grown up with the church," and has pitched in on construction workdays, among other tasks.
Having taken drafting and architecture classes while at East Henderson High School, Gilliland has been fascinated with the building process.
"It's been really interesting being involved," he says. "It's cool seeing what I've learned being constructed."
Josh's father, Terry Gilliland, says he is amazed by the willingness of people to help out, and seeing how God will use people if they allow it.
"We've had so much outside help," Holloway says. "A big hearty 'thank you' goes out to everyone who has contributed.
"We want this place to be welcoming, and to make a statement about who we are," Holloway adds.
The new sanctuary will be set up for multimedia and PowerPoint presentations, and plans are to have video monitors in the nursery area downstairs so the services in the sanctuary can be seen and heard.
The main floor of the new building will have a sound room, a pastor's study, a baptistery with changing rooms and a large entrance hall, off of which are bathrooms.
"At this time, we are reaching out to our friends, fellow laborers and the community to partner with us to reach our goal," Holloway said.

An annual report is exactly what it sounds like - a formal report on a company's performance in the preceding year. A public company produces an annual report for its stockholders, the people and institutions who own the company.
Other interested parties, such as customers and potential investors, read this report, too. In fact, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a U.S. government agency, requires a public company to keep stockholders informed regularly on the state of its business.
An annual report is one of the most important documents a company produces and is often the first document someone consults when researching a company. It reports how the company did financially and often explains the scope of its business mission and management philosophy.
For these reasons (and because the SEC requires publication of much of the information in the annual report), companies take the development of an annual report seriously. They carefully consider its design and construction and even the paper to print it on. Today, many companies also produce Web and CD-ROM versions of their annual reports.
Guide to annual reports: Anatomy
Anatomy of an annual report
While most annual reports contain optional elements, all reports contain information the SEC requires.
Optional elements include:
Board of directors and management
SEC-required elements include:
Financial statements and notes
Optional elements
Financial highlights. Probably the most often-read section of any annual report, these highlights give a quick summary of a company's performance. The numbers appear in a short table, usually accompanied by supporting graphs.
Letter to stockholders. This letter may be from the chairperson of the board of directors, the chief executive officer, or both. It can provide an analysis and a play-by-play review of the year's events, including any problems, issues, and successes the company had. It usually reflects the business philosophy and management style of the company's executives, and often it lays out the company's direction for the next year.
Corporate message. Some analysts, business executives, and stockholders consider this message an advertisement for the company; others find it useful. However, it almost always reflects how a company sees itself, or how it would like others to see it. Here, the company can explain itself to stockholders, using photographs, illustrations, and text. This message may cover the company's lines of business, markets, mission, management philosophy, corporate culture, and strategic direction.
Report of management. This letter, usually from the board chairperson and the chief financial officer, takes responsibility for the validity of the financial information in the annual report, and states that the report complies with SEC and other legal requirements. The discussion attests to the presence of internal accounting control systems that cover effectiveness of operations, reliability of financial reporting, and compliance with federal laws.
Board of directors and management. This list gives the names and position titles of the company's board of directors and top management team. Sometimes companies include photographs.
Stockholder information. This information covers the basics, the company's corporate office headquarters, the exchanges on which the company trades its stock, the location and time of the next annual stockholder's meeting, and other general stockholder service information. Stockholder information is usually in the back of the annual report.
Mandatory elements
Auditors' report. This summary of the findings of an independent firm of certified public accountants shows whether the financial statements are complete, reasonable, and prepared consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) at a set time.
Management discussion. This series of short, detailed reports discusses and analyzes the company's performance. It covers results of operations, and the adequacy of liquid and capital resources to fund operations.
Financial statements and notes. These statements provide the raw numbers for the company's financial performance and recent financial history. The SEC requires three statements - statement of earnings, statement of financial position, and statement of cash flows - all covered in this guide (the statement of stockholders' equity is not addressed here). These statements include a comprehensive set of related notes that provide explanations, additional detail, and supplementary financial information.
Selected financial data. This information summarizes a company's financial condition and performance over five years or longer. Data for making comparisons over time may include revenue (sales), gross profit, net earnings (net income), earnings per share, dividends per share, financial ratios such as return on equity, number of shares outstanding, and the market price per share.
Guide to annual reports: Other financial reporting
Other financial reporting
The financial statements and related notes in the annual report are primary sources of financial information available to investors, financial analysts, and the public.
Other primary financial information sources include SEC Form 10-K , which the SEC requires companies to submit yearly. This audited form contains more detailed information than the financial statements in the annual report. Companies also provide interim financial reports to stockholders and file an unaudited SEC Form 10-Q quarterly. These quarterly reports provide briefer, more aggregated data for the quarter and year to date.
Companies provide summary financial information throughout the annual report and through news conferences and press releases. To obtain more financial information on companies, visit resources. Here, you will find Internet links and print and other resources to help you extend your investment-related education.

Oil prices fall on U.S. manufacturing worries
BANGKOK Worries about the U.S. economy following the release of a disappointing manufacturing report sent oil prices lower Tuesday.
Benchmark crude for January delivery was down 27 cents to $88.82 per barrel at midday Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract finished up 18 cents at $89.09 a barrel on the Nymex on Monday.
Manufacturing the U.S. shrank in November to its weakest level since July 2009, a trade group said Monday, because companies are worried about the "fiscal cliff" -- sharp tax increases and spending cuts that take effect in 2013 unless U.S. political leaders strike a budget deal before then.
Flaring tensions in the Middle East, including Egypt's widening political crisis and reports that Syria may be readying its chemical and biological weapons against rebels, kept prices from falling more.
There was no immediate threat to oil supplies, but there are persistent worries that fighting could eventually spread to a neighboring oil producer.
"Markets have to factor in the risk. They can't ignore at least the possibility of that sort of thing happening," said Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney.
Brent crude, which is used to price international varieties of oil, fell 34 cents to $110.58 per barrel on the ICE Futures Exchange in London.
Other energy futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange:
-- Heating oil fell 0.9 cent to $3.047 a gallon
-- Natural gas was unchanged at $3.591 per 1,000 cubic feet
-- Wholesale gasoline fell 0.9 cent to $2.717 a gallon.

Thinking about research based on a seven-point principle?
Elize S. van Eeden
Subject Group History, North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, South Africa
Ulrich D. Holzbaur, Laetus O.K. Lategan, Karyn Dyason, Deseré Kokt, 7 Imperatives for Success in Research.
Sun Media, South Africa, 2012
Content summary
The 7 Imperatives for Success in Research brings to mind some other '7s' one is able to find in the human made world of business, as a form of continuation of this number's respected position in the natural and the religious world. If the '7 imperatives for success' are not in management, then it's the 'how to' of successful business leadership or in customer satisfaction and even how to be business revolutionaries. These imperatives are usually voiced by highly successful professionals. The imperatives are certainly not intended as instant recipes for sometimes very complicated and challenging issues and activities, but actually as hints on essentialities in specific fields, and how people with experience and knowledge in such a field try to concisely but meaningfully transfer gained knowledge and life wisdom to the next generation.
All four authors involved in compiling the 7 Imperatives for Success in Research do have the credentials: all are amply blessed with the know-how and skills gained from years in respected positions in research environments. This 85-page publication consists of seven concise chapters, each dealing with one research imperative:
1. Understand research and its environment
2. Personal development and career advancement
3. Be the 'ethical' researcher
4. Develop your planning skills
5. Present your research results
6. Get published
7. Go beyond - The ivory tower
Merits of the publication - An assessment
Current research challenges, as well as the needs to educate the next generation of researchers and equally develop and build the capacity of researchers on all levels of research activities, have inspired the authors to define these seven imperatives as vital to successful research. The seven imperatives indeed cover the 'how-to' questions researchers frequently ask and which most only understand after many years of having engaged in research in a 'rest in peace'-like mode.
Target reader indication
The book is especially aimed at early career researchers, but claims to also be of value to research managers and research administrators. The authors in fact express the hope that leaders in the diverse research environments 'will engage with the book in such a rigorous manner that they will provide feedback' to the authors so that they can 'update and expand on the ideas and advice' in the book.
However, the approach to topics such as development of a research career and dissemination of research in 7 Imperatives for Success in Research is very basic, simplistic, cryptic and certainly not user-friendly. Perhaps it only serves in some way as a beginner's 'guideline' for researchers-to-be? If that is the core focus and the literature has indicated a substantial market for it, the authors should stick to the early researcher principle. The authors should not try to be everything to every corpus of the research environment because research environments can extensively differ from one another.
Questions that spontaneously arise from 7 Imperatives for Success in Research are: Should it only be utilised in a one-on-one basis by early career researchers, should it serve a purpose in training post-graduate researchers in workshops, should it serve as a module in a curriculum, or what? What gap in advice on ways of starting a research career and go about conducting research will this contribution fill?
General comments
Research approach - Learn by example
In order to situate the book within the research environment, the authors of 7 Imperatives for Success in Research should have been explicit on why such a publication is needed when there are already several on the market. Also, they do not touch on what can be learned from past and current literature on research in building a research career. What appears totally absent are the author's foci and how readers should approach the content of the book. The gap in the market the authors intend to fill (their problem question so to speak) should have been more explicit. In this regard the authors could have explained what they want to uniquely accomplish, differently from what so many others have already published in the field, such as Francine Berman (1993), Michelle N. Bushey et al. (2001), Sara Delamont and Paul Atkinson (2004), Alan Johnson (2011) and Kierstin Wesolowski (2011). The authors mainly use one source (namely that of one of the co-authors, Laetus Lategan) in all instances.
The authors appear to want to 'educate' potential and existing researchers on seven important imperatives without at all explaining how this publication with its unusual content structuring should be educationally and instructively approached to be of value. The bare minimum of information is concisely shared in sections in each chapter after which several assignments as discussion or 'homework' follow. Minimal follow-up hints, responses, additional reading suggestions or guidelines are provided.
Leaving 'empty spaces' for assignments in a publication of this nature for practitioners in the wide research environment to complete or debate on means the book reminds one more of an interactive student study guide usable for a limited period in the training process.
The overall impression one is left with of this well-meant publication is that it could be quite useful provided that the authors address the shortcomings indicated. In essence, the not-so-welcome critique boils down to two main concerns: insufficient information and lack of guidance as to how to approach and utilise the book. An 'early career researcher' might just perceive it as maze of incompletely structured and informed topics.

Willison takes on jwz and WinerMay 20, 2003
One day soon I will make a post that is non CSS–related. It will happen, I swear it.
On to business. Simon Willison has taken on two of the most vocal critics of CSS in the past few weeks, Dave Winer and Jamie Zawinski. Both of the mentioned debates generated a flurry of controversy, and catalyzed argument on whether to use CSS or not.
Simon's examples are coded well, documented well, and generally make a good point: using nested tables to achieve visual effect is a concept whose time is coming to an end.
The more I see examples like this where existing design techniques are converted to CSS layouts, the more I see two very tense camps forming. There are people who use CSS daily, who wouldn't give it up for the world, and who realize that quirks and bugs aside, browser support is solid enough for use. There are also people who haven't bought into it yet, who see the somewhat inconsistent support amongst browsers, and deem the whole thing a waste of their time.
A note to both camps: table–based layouts still work. They aren't going anywhere. CSS–based layouts also work, as more and more people are proving. It boils down to this — consider who you're designing your site for, and use the appropriate tool.
If you want heavier page loads and tough code to edit, but absolutely guaranteed consistency amongst browser back to 1997, chose tables.
If you want elegant code that's a snap to edit later, but can cause headaches as you learn the quirks of today's browsers, chose CSS.
People who turn this into a silly all–or–nothing debate are missing the bigger picture here: the user doesn't give a damn about how you built the site. They want it to load fast, they want it to navigate well, they want it to look good, and they want it to work. The rest of this is, ironically, just semantics.
Reader Comments
You hit the nail on the head. As with any holy war that has been waged online (and this is rapidly becoming one) the users are being forgotten. I have been eagerly eating up every bit of CSS knowledge I can from your blog and many, many others. I am implementing things (my homepage is a close proximity to how Eric's used to look). I even took one of my most popular sites and made it almost 100% CSS (for the homepage) - and I am about to process the logs and see if I have had any drop off in users. This is the real question to me - what impact will I have on my user base? Especially when there are other sites out there providing similar information. Forcing a captive audience to upgrade a browser is one thing, but an audience that has options, that is another thing entirely. I'd like my sites to still be around by the time users have the most recent, standards compliant browsers…
Those last three paragraphs are so true. Very well spoken, Dave.
I am not anti-CSS. All my new sites are CSS-based. The people who cast it that way were wrong. They must not have actually been following what I was doing. If you read the archive of Scripting News you'll see. But people generally don't read. That, imho, is a bigger issue than whether one uses CSS or not.
Dave, thanks for replying. I had been wondering about the extent of your comments, since such a minor post generated such a huge amount of traffic. For an outsider in the coding community like me, it's been weird to see that kind of response. I assumed there must have been a precedent, since that post alone sure wasn't enough to cause interest on that level.
Well put, Mr. Shea!
I must say, though, that I'm quite dissapointed that your site is not accessible to the deceased OR the unconscious AND is not viewable on Timex Indiglo! And you call yourself a web developer?!? Haven't you heard of, like, Jakob Zeldman?
Kris, you have no idea how close to the mark that statement is. It seems there are people out there who have a very rigid definition of what makes a successful site, which may or may not be based on reality. Anything that doesn't fall into that narrow band of 'acceptable' in their minds becomes a complete failure, and sometimes they even feel the need to tell me about it.
I'm a 'big picture' type person, and can see the good and bad in just about everything. I have a hard time relating to people who get so wrapped up in small details that they ignore the rest of it. Web design is about compromise and finding a happy medium; you can't make 'em all happy, every time.

I have a variable contains a path that I get from Windows registry.
The key contains .bmp file's path.
- Code: Select all
CREATE reg_BmpName 256 ALLOT
reg_BmpName GET-REG: "HKEY_USERS\%user1SID%\Software\MySoftware\LastBmp"
Now, I want to show a hint (for 10 secs) with new image's name.
- Code: Select all
THINT: "The new image is:%crlf%%reg_BmpName ASCIIZ>%" 10
The problem is that it show entire path of the file and not only the name.
For example, it will show:
- C:\Documents\Bmps_For_me\Very_good_Image.bmp
- Very_good_Image.bmp
Now, can I extract substring Very_good_Image?
How I can count for 27 chars and then extract the rest of the string?
The name start always from 28° char.
I hope I made clear myself.

Nearly five dozen colleagues, friends and family packed the conference room of the D. Samuel Gottesman Library on Tuesday, November 12, 2013, to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Saul R. Korey, a founding faculty member of the medical school and namesake of its department of neurology. In all, approximately 75 members of the Einstein community turned out for the memorial event — with nearly 20 individuals viewing the ceremony via an Internet livestream set up in the library, and founding chair of medicine Dr. Irving London listening in by telephone.
Dr. Korey died in September 1963, at age 45, from pancreatic cancer — just eight years after Einstein opened its doors. In that short time, he created an environment for collaboration across disciplines that was decades ahead of its time. And he created a team of researchers and clinicians who embodied his philosophy and carried it forward, leaving an indelible mark at Einstein and beyond.
"Dr. Korey made sure that everybody who was a neurologist was trained as an investigator and as a compassionate clinician," said Dr. Mark Mehler, current chair of the Saul R. Korey Department of Neurology during his welcoming remarks. "He introduced and lived the concept of translational medicine 40 years before that term was even coined."
"Saul Korey was one of the first to use biochemistry to study human disease and to understand the effectiveness of multidisciplinary research. These days, we refer to such work as 'bench to bedside,'" added Dr. Lewis Rowland, chair emeritus of neurology at Columbia, who also addressed the crowd. Dr. Korey had attempted to recruit Dr. Rowland to Einstein; the two were close friends and colleagues.
The ceremony also featured a 14-minute video detailing Dr. Korey's influence, and an opportunity for those in attendance to share their personal remembrances or reflections on Dr. Korey's influence at Einstein. This latter portion of the event was led by Dr. Isabelle Rapin, an early Korey recruit and professor emerita who spearheaded the project to honor Dr. Korey's memory.
She recalled her interview with Dr. Korey, and the comical mishaps leading up to that meeting, where he asked her, "What research are you going to do?" She said, "It wasn't 'will you do research'; it was 'what will you focus on?'"
Exhibit wall commemorating Dr. Korey's legacy to EinsteinDr. Korey's first neurology resident and professor emeritus Dr. Herbert Vaughan recalled watching Dr. Korey in action during rounds. "He was the most charismatic clinician you could possibly imagine, and really connected with patients."
Not everyone who spoke knew Dr. Korey personally. Some arrived shortly after his death, and others are current faculty who have heard stories about Dr. Korey and felt his influence.
"I came to Einstein in 1968 as an ID [Interdisciplinary] fellow and joined the group of Bob Terry, a first-line member of Dr. Korey's research team," recalled Dr. Cedric Raine, professor emeritus of pathology, speaking to the attendees via video. "Even though Dr. Korey had left us five years earlier, everyone still talked about him as though he was still with them. There was a lingering respect, which was almost palpable."
Dr. London, who recruited Dr. Korey to Einstein, also shared his thoughts from afar, noting, "It did not take Saul long to demonstrate his mastery of the field of neurology, both clinically and in terms of research opportunities."
Following the ceremony, those in attendance – who included Dr. Korey's widow, Doris, and his elder daughter, Dr. Cathie Korey – were invited to view a commemorative exhibit, which will be on display at the library through December 12, 2013.

Wyoming House Representative, Cynthia Lummis, voted against the Violence Against Women Act yesterday, citing "Constitutional infirmities" for her lack of support.
Wyoming Public Media reports Lummis heard concerns from both Wyoming law enforcement officials and members of the Wyoming bar, stating provisions in the VAWA allow tribal courts to arrest and prosecute non-Natives who are accused of abusing Native women on reservations.
The possible imprisonment of non-natives by tribal courts is a major sticking point, especially when the Department of Justice reports more than 85 percent of violent crimes against Indian women are committed by non-Indians.
Though the bill permits non-natives to move their cases to federal court if they don't feel their Constitutional rights are being upheld, Lummis said she felt the bill needs to be refined.
The bill was also rejected by Wyoming senators Mike Enzi and John Barrasso for the same reason. Republicans in the House of Representatives had introduced an alternative version of the bill that did not expand tribal judicial oversight, but that version failed.
Other components of the Violence Against Women Act establish resources for victims of gender-based violence, and expands protections for victims of violence related to gender identity.
Despite rejection from all three Wyoming Congressional representatives, the bill was passed and now goes to the President.

Treadmills, elliptical trainers and bikes continue to saturate the fitness equipment market. When I attended the recent Health and Fitness Business conference and exhibition, I was disappointed with the absence of any truly revolutionary products in the hardlines category. This annual show is typically where equipment manufacturers unveil their next year's product offerings to retail managers, buyers and owners. Most retail owners also bring along their top sales consultants, buyers and managers.
By all accounts, the retail channels for fitness products are healthy again, with attendance up dramatically from the past several years. The conference hall was packed with small companies selling sales and retail management software and the larger platform makers of strength, cardiovascular, yoga and other associated products.
I discovered that nearly every manufacturer of hardline equipment (treadmills and strength) now offers elliptical products, bikes and in some cases, bundled sales programs in each of these categories. I was struck by the number of new companies with floor space selling these products in addition to long-term players. In talking with many of these vendors, I learned that the treadmill market is still very strong ($2.81 billion in 2004), and ellipticals remain one of the fastest growing equipment categories at $280 million. Many new companies feel established vendors aren't addressing the consumer-friendly treadmills at a lower price point between $1,200 and $2,200.
With technology becoming more affordable, I've noticed that many companies are using key selling features to win the hearts of consumers. These features include on-board flat screen TVs, more customized user programs and controls and much improved display screens that are larger and backlit for aging eyes. There is also a trend toward simplifying the user interfaces on the consoles across all platforms.
Strength equipment is split down the middle. Some manufacturers are offering old school and basic plate-loaded equipment. Others have created highly sophisticated selectorized home gyms that can be customized to accommodate different user sizes and be adjusted to a variety of resistance modes. In many cases these strength machines are being sold on space savings, safety and customizable sizing, padding color choice and exercise options.
I also noticed a small but growing trend in vibrational strength-training equipment. This equipment supposedly helps increase lean muscle and bone density through a process that requires non-traditional exercise.
A majority of strength-training and accessories companies are marketing the core and sport-specific training features of their machines. This includes a combination of new programs such as yoga and strength to traditional programs using medicine balls. This continues to appeal to weekend athletes as well as Baby Boomers looking to improve spinal and abdominal integrity as they age.
The accessory side of the industry is also moving toward total solutions packages that provide strength, flexibility, mobility and even relaxation in bundled offerings. These include everything from packaging with balls, mats and DVDs, to tubing, and portable stability and athletic training devices with customizable programs that are activity specific. This category in particular understands consumers are increasingly more time starved, mobile and want portable equipment that can be used anywhere with elegance and simplicity.
Another trend is the increasing simplicity of both strength and cardiovascular products. For the past decade, companies have raced to provide more programs, more options and more technology for the end user — features for the sake of having features. It appears that many companies are realizing that consumers are overwhelmed by owner's manuals and have little patience to push five buttons to simply get going. Most companies, while still offering programs and customization, have added quick start programs, and easy-to-read pictorial renderings of specific exercises for strength equipment. This is welcome news to an American population that sees exercise as complicated and overwhelming.
Note: Before you start sending me e-mails, understand that there were several new products offered by new and established companies at the show. I will research and test them so I can cover them in a future article. The point is that many of these new products have not proven to be a magnet for exercisers in clubs and in homes — yet.

Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2011) — Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) President and CEO John J. Castellani issued the following statement today on President Obama's Executive Order on drug shortages:
"President Obama's Executive Order regarding prescription drug shortages echoes a priority of America's biopharmaceutical research companies – the well-being of patients and their ability to access life-saving prescription medications.
"Patient access to innovative treatments is the cornerstone of our industry. That is why the critically important issue of drug shortages demands our collective attention to ensure patients can access the medicines they need in the most expeditious manner possible. America's innovative biopharmaceutical companies have long worked to prevent drug shortages in advance, and will continue to work closely with the FDA to prevent manufacturing disruptions.
"The implementation of the President's Executive Order must effectively strike a balance between addressing a complex set of rare but nevertheless concerning issues in the manufacturing process while promoting a market environment that fosters accessibility for these needed products. Addressing anticipated occurrences of a drug shortage early in the process helps both health care providers and manufacturers identify treatment alternatives more efficiently, and we will continue to work with FDA to improve upon existing reporting requirements.
"Additionally, price gouging by secondary wholesalers is unacceptable. The 'gray market' presents serious concerns for patient safety as it cannot be assured that the products obtained by providers in this manner have been handled in a way that maintains product integrity.
"While the majority of drug shortages involve generic drugs, with FDA specifically referring to an increase in shortages among 'older sterile injectable drugs,' this problem concerns us all and requires our combined attention.
"As FDA, Congress and other experts have noted, the factors that contribute to drug shortages are complex and multidimensional, and it is important for all of us who provide life-saving medications to work collaboratively to minimize unexpected disruptions in the supply of vital medicines.
"In the instance a shortage is anticipated, an innovator or generic manufacturer is encouraged to notify the FDA in order to address, avert and mitigate drug shortages. In the event there is a discontinuation of sole source, medically necessary drugs, companies are required to inform FDA six months in advance. Manufacturers have stepped up the voluntary reporting of anticipated events that might lead to drug shortages, and according to the FDA, in 2011, this early notification helped prevent over 99 shortages.
"Patients concerned that their medicine may be in short supply have several options available, including visiting the FDA's Current Drug Shortages page to see if the drug has been reported in short supply or talking with your doctor, who may be able to offer another effective medicine.
"It is critical that we seek a more comprehensive understanding of the many circumstances that can lead to a drug shortage as industry, Congress, FDA, patients, providers and other stakeholders try to identify meaningful ways to help alleviate, mitigate and address this critical problem. PhRMA and its members have worked — and will continue to work — diligently to this common goal."

A very very very rough translation.
Spoiler for Ladies and gentlemen, we may have a new Gar:
This was translated by a crappy translator who is still learning the language with absolutely no context behind anything of what is happening. Pretty much, I just took the last 6 pages (1 image) and translated them to the best of my knowledge. I hope it matches whatever spoilers were posted, since it would be a bit embarrassing for me if it didn't. Now to actually read what has been posted >.>:
Edit: Just so people know, there were a few parts where I was definitely confused. One of which was the line regarding Canaria. I wasn't sure if Dahak defeated them (as in, this was the one that destroyed their community) or if Canaria sealed him away and she was surprised it was even possible (for some reason, I thought this was the case beforehand).
I was also confused a bit about the Yellow River. The Yellow River is a river in china which is notorious for having corpses in it. I can't remember if there was something drastic with it or if it were purely deaths from natural disasters, though. I took "Souvenir of the Yellow River" (If that's even the actual translation) to mean a corpse (as in, Izayoi was essentially dead before he challenged Dahak to the game), or if Dahak was giving him a souvenir before he became a corpse. Again, take it for what it's worth.
Yet another thing is that I wasn't sure if Dahak shook him off and Izayoi stopped the blood with the tensing of his muscles, or if he stopped Dahak from shaking him off by using his muscles to hold onto him.
I'm also not sure who spoke in the first line. It might be Amalthea, it could be Shiro Yasha (Byakura or something in her unsealed form, I guess?), or some random person. No idea.
As a side note, I do like the Strength/Wisdom/Courage lines Dahak states at the end of the novel :x

Thanks so much for this! ^^v
Hope Izayoi manages... >.<
P.S. Not sure if someone knows this already, but... Seems like the manga of this (the MANGA, not the SPIN-OFF) LN is in progress. Yup, a team picked it up!

Thanks for the translation Enigmatic.
Apparently if you clear all the conditions of the demon lord's game he'll be enslaved and revived if he died in the game. I have no source though (if you consider JP wiki trustworthy) and don't remember it being explained in the LN, but that's the explanation for Pest and Leticia still alive, apparently it's from author's twitter (read from somewhere on the internet).
But yeah, I can't see how Izayoi will beat this guy. Even if he has a chance, he's too heavily injured and in no condition for a fight like this.

Maou says he puts up best fight he has ever seen any human as.
Thinks it will be interesting if he makes a pact with him and lets him live.
Become something like Jin and Pest.
Izayoi is pushed even more so far into a corner that makes him tap his untapped potiential ( told by carnia)
Which leads him to injure maou/get away from him.

And if izayoi truly is dead, can he be summoned just like pest. As we know izayoi is not a normal human being maybe he is a much more higher being than we originally thought. If he can be simonned then i want kurousagi to be the one who summoned him. As a servant izayoi can never disobey kurousagi.

But in between these two, I'm rooting for the second option. Though being a summon wouldn't hurt too, if he could be summoned at all. (Ignore this rant, I've just started reading summaries this week o.o still confused)
Jokes aside, I don't think he's dead yet... He tried/is trying to stop the blood flow from wounds.
He'd better live through this one.

Hey James. The metal fuel line right next to the tank is the main feed line. The metal line on the outside is the return line. I've attached a picture of the pump to show which is which. The wider fitting is the supply line and the narrower fitting is the return line.
I have since found a better way to attach the rubber fuel hoses. These allow for a better connection and you can use the same size hose. DMCH uses the same type of fittings.

Associated Press
Ever since Dashiell Hammett introduced us to Sam Spade in "The Maltese Falcon" 83 years ago, hundreds of writers have adopted his formula, flooding the bookshelves with wisecracking private eyes who work both sides of the law, disrespect authority, icily stare down gun barrels and conceal an immutable code of honor beneath a cynical outer shell.
This can get awfully tiresome, but every now and then a writer comes along with the imagination and skill to make the whole thing feel fresh and new again. That's what veteran crime novelist Timothy Hallinan has accomplished with his latest series of novels featuring Junior Bender, full-time Los Angeles burglar and part-time private eye-style fixer for the city's criminal element.
The first book in the series, "Crashed" (2012), was great fun. The new one, "Little Elvises," is even better, with an intricate high-stakes plot, a compelling subplot and heart-pounding suspense.
As the story opens, Junior is in a fix, or rather, a bunch of them. The ex-wife he still yearns for has a new man in her life. His precocious daughter, who just turned 13, has acquired her first boyfriend, and Junior doesn't approve. The daughter of Junior's eccentric landlady has run off with a cad, and she needs Junior's help to bring her home. And an LA Police Department detective is going to frame Junior for invading a judge's house, pistol-whipping his honor's wife and stealing their jade collection unless Junior finds a way to get the cop's elderly uncle out of a murder rap.
The uncle, a record producer in Philadelphia back in the 1950s, got rich by recruiting a bunch of no-talent pretty boys, fixing their hair and teaching them to curl their lips to make them look like Elvis Presley, and foisting their abysmal howls on teenage record buyers. (Those with the misfortune of remembering the likes of Len Barry, Johnny Caswell and Johnny Madara know this really happened.) Hence, the book's title.
Along the way, Hallinan introduces us to a drugged-out, pain-impervious hit man, a nonagenarian puppet master who rules the LA underworld, a tabloid reporter who uses his job as a cover to blackmail the rich and the famous, and a host of other characters as dangerously outrageous as the murderous crew obsessed with obtaining the black bird in Hammett's 1930 masterpiece.
Bruce DeSilva, winner of the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Award, is the author of "Cliff Walk" and "Rogue Island."
