Photoshoot details
How much is a portrait photo shoot and do you have packages for portrait photography? The cost of your photoshoot is $300 which includes $140 redeemable on prints and products of your choice from our price list. Your shoot can be in our studio or on location, totally up to you. It's hard to say how much you'll want to take home until you've seen the results, which is why we don't ask you to commit to any products prior to your shoot. Let's start the fun process of discussing your photoshoot and go from there!
Where do we have our portrait photographs taken? The options are (almost) only restricted by your imagination! Our photography studio is located Townsville - you can choose to have your photos taken inside or at an outdoor location. These details depend on the sort of feeling you'd like to go for, who's going to be involved in your shoot and are best discussed over a cuppa at a design session (chat with one of our four photographers). Have a look through our portrait photography galleries for photoshoot ideas.
Why should I choose Insight Creative photography studio for our photoshoot? Insight Creative are a team. When you choose us to be your photographers you're getting the experience, knowledge and skills of all our team... we're all involved every step of the way. That all adds up to a massive amount of skills and experience you could not even dream of finding elsewhere! One of our photographers, Megan Marano, has specialised in photographing children for over 12 years (previously Megan Marano Portraiture). We can honestly say all kids love her, she is the best in the business and having four children of her own has most certainly helped! Plus... we love what we do. We laugh a lot and we're sure you will enjoy every minute. Also, not all photographers were created equal. There is a small group of Townsville photographers whose work is of exceptionally high standard and that includes us. We constantly keep up-to-date with the latest Canon cameras, Adobe software such as Photoshop and Lightroom and of course Apple Mac computers.
How much are your wedding photography packages? Our Townsville wedding photography package prices start from $3,900. We have options for extended photography coverage, two wedding photographers for capturing more details, custom-designed coffee-table photo books and your photos as digital high resolution images so you can print and share as you wish.
Do you only photograph Townsville weddings? We love to photograph Townsville weddings but we definitely love to travel too! We often photograph Ayr weddings and Ingham weddings and love to capture Magnetic Island weddings. If you're considering a destination wedding or a wedding outside of Townsville contact us for our travel costs and have a look through our galleries for recent Magnetic Island wedding photography and Haylea and Andrew's Fiji destination wedding photos!

We'll have a quote to you within two working days, then just check our availability and we'll book your time and date for your commercial photoshoot.
Why should I choose you for our commercial photoshoot?

We have years of experience with corporate portrait photography (headshots), business profile photoshoots communicating the story and brand, property photography - from new display home interior, exterior and detail shots to architecture award submissions. Our commercial photographers capture events through documentary style photography and commissions for fashion photoshoots for local fashion designers and editorial features appearing in local and national magazines.

It was the brains in E.T.'s homemade communication device, but by the time the little alien with the (dying) heart of gold used it to phone home in Steven Spielberg's 1982 flick, Texas Instruments' Speak & Spell was already a star by transforming educational toys and digital technology.
No kid today freaks out over a product that encourages learning, but the Speak & Spell – unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in 1978 – was at the forefront of the computer age, so it was cool for a kid to actually own one of these mini "laptops." Although simplistic by today's standards – it would say a word out of 200 in its 128-kilobyte memory (they were the 200 commonly misspelled words), and you would spell it by typing on the keypad – the Speak & Spell demonstrated important technologies that we take for granted today, like an LCD screen, expandability through removable cartridges, and solid-state memory. It was a tremendous feat for technology at the time. (Later on, TI also released the Speak & Read and Speak & Math alongside the Speak & Spell.)
While the Speak & Spell wasn't TI's first education toy (that honor goes to the Little Professor, a calculator-like device that taught kids math), it was the first consumer product to use TI's digital signal processor (DSP) technology for speech synthesis, and, according to TI, marked the first time a vocal tract had been duplicated electronically on a single silicon chip; without the need for tapes, the Speak & Spell could recall a word directly from memory.
In an interview with Vintage Computing and Gaming, Richard Wiggins – one of the four engineers who developed the product along with team leader Paul Breedlove, Gene Frantz, and Larry Brantingham – recalled there were initial doubts from TI's management. But the product proved successful and became an important part of TI's education business unit.
After various iterations and languages, the Speak & Spell made its final appearance in 1992 as the Super Speak & Spell. But the importance of the toy has found a home in many museums, including the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. Today, musicians like Beck have implemented Speak & Spell units with circuit bending in their music, where the guts have been modified to create new sounds (although E.T. could be considered the first to manipulate the device).
This year, TI celebrated its 30th anniversary working with DSP technology. Without these processors we wouldn't be enjoying the many consumer electronics that we can't live without today. And we can trace it all back to a toy that taught us all how to talk.

Mobile CRM Design, Part 2: Refining the M-Commerce Experience
Nov 5, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Mobile CRM Design, Part 1: Different Devices, Different Rules
Now that mobile app developers have the basics of user-friendly design down, we've moved into the m-commerce industrial age, according to Pradeep U.N., Symphony Teleca's vice president and global head of design and innovation. [*Correction - Nov. 12, 2013]
Specifically, the mobile app vendors and retailers that rely on this channel are now experimenting with more sophisticated tactics -- not just for kicks, but because mobile is increasingly becoming the first face of a company for many consumers.
For these consumers, an m-industrial age just doesn't cut it anymore.
Great Expectations
"The truth is, we are moving away from the 'buttons and clicks' paradigm that is focused on optimizing for efficiencies," U.N. told CRM Buyer.
Now, m-commerce companies are looking at creating an "intelligent emotive experience," he said, using "elegant typography, visual motion and contextual relevance."
These new experiences also take into account the growing expectations for the mobile user experience, Bob Egner, vice president of product management at EPiServer, told CRM Buyer.
"The more people use their mobile device, the higher the expectation," Egner said.
"They want to be able to find exactly what they want quickly, meaning retailers need to optimize and personalize content so that consumers are able to find what they're looking for with minimal effort right away," he said. "This also means that mobile app designers need to develop search capabilities that are robust enough to present exactly the results users are looking for."
Start at the Beginning
Where to begin? The very beginning is Egner's recommendation.
"It all starts with a phone that the consumer holds in their hand," he explained. "As a designer, you need to imagine the consumer holding the phone in their hand and offer them the ability to have the touch point on the screen large enough where they can hit it with their thumb," he advises.
"Consumers don't want to have to worry about stretching or pinching the screen size to be able to get to the particular design element they wish to interact with," Egner added.
Only then, experts say, do you move onto the actual content. It is at this point that developers need to step back and make sure the content is not drowned out by the other efforts to reimagine the mobile experience.
'The Content and the Audience'
"Too often we are seeing over-thinking in terms of placement, space and navigation, losing the content in an attempt to reinvent the mobile experience," said Christan Summers, director of creative and strategy at Raison d'Être.
"Rather than force users to reorient their expectations, creative's main consideration should always be the content and the audience," Summers told CRM Buyer.
"The same principle applies in mobile design," she explained. "In terms of creative, we already know what works: negative space, simple design, image-driven buttons, demographically driven messaging -- all taking the audience into true consideration. Know who you are talking to, what you are selling/promoting, and create the design around that."
Indeed, Summers said, it is better to remain on the conservative side of the spectrum than venture too far into the experimental realm if the content appears to be at risk of being overlooked.
"Too often, we don't give our audience enough credit and keep trying new things that just translate to confusion and noise for the user," she said. "In the end, just as with more traditional interactive design, it is the content and the audience to whom we are talking that makes the differentiating factor from one site, application and campaign to another."
*ECT News Network editor's note - Nov. 12, 2013: Our original published version of this story mistakenly attributed Pradeep U.N.'s comments to Pradeep Chaudhry. Symphony Teleca spokesperson Katie Kennedy told CRM Buyer that Pradeep Chaudhry was head of the design function at Symphony Teleca. However Chaudhry is the company's CFO, and Pradeep U.N. is vice president and global head of design and innovation. It was Pradeep U.N. who provided input for this article. We regret the confusion.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. The week of May 6-10 is Children's Mental Health Awareness week.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. The week of May 6-10 is Children's Mental Health Awareness week. Pathways Community Health provides mental health services to children and families across their system of care. To bring awareness to mental health issues, they will provide information and bubbles for children to celebrate Children's Mental health Awareness week in their Camdenton office.
Children can experience a variety of mental health issues including: mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. There are many causes that lead to these disorders and illnesses including physical and sexual abuse, severe emotional trauma, and neglect. According to the Mayo Clinic, many adults have trouble identifying if their child is living with a mental illness because signs and symptoms can be attributed to normal child behavior.
It is important to recognize child and adolescent mental health problems and to reduce stigma around treatment. Mental health problems are just as important as physical health or learning issues. A child's development of good social, emotional and behavioral health is part of their overall healthy development. Recognizing mental health needs of children and adolescents early on and treating with effective methods could mean a healthy and long life in an otherwise hopeless situation.
Pathways Community Health is a member of the Compass Health network and provides mental health services and addiction recovery programs in communities across Missouri. In Camdenton, Pathways's Navig8 program provides addiction recovery services for adolescents. Compass Health uses extensive and individualized treatment plans that focus on the young person as well as the family.
For more information about Pathways its services and programs to prevent and help those living with a mental illness, call 1-888-403-1071 or visit their website at www.pathwaysonline.org or on Facebook at Pathways Community Health.

Regardless though as Mao pointed out he's all messed up in the head trying to make up for what he did.
Which is interesting because now that he's thrown off the "mask" that people hate him for what kind of person will he be now?

He'll probably stop trying to justufy everything he does and stop being all happy all the time. His mercy is probably gone completely and he'll do whatever it takes to get the job done. If Lelouch is supposed to become more likable in season 2 than I would expect Suzaku to become more dislikable.
And what Mao pointed out is that he really wasn't concerned about helping people as he was about making himself feel good.

I don't think it will be like that really. It isn't said what is going to make Lelouch more likable after all. I think Taniguchi would realize that doing something like that wouldn't get the message across.

I thought Lelouch was already likeable enough. He's fighting to make a better and safe world for his sister. Everyone already likes him.
And the message is that if you want to change something you go out to do it right?

Not really. I've seen enough people criticize him to the point where it isn't all that clear exactly how good of a person he is even though some may see it otherwise. I think they may make him seem less dark than he is, though I worry a thing like would be harmful to his character.

The only way I can see that work is if they reverse Lelouch and Suzaku's season 1 attitudes then.
Since in Season 1 Suzaku was always smiling and laughing compared to Lelouch who was more serious and such but I see where your coming from.

A switch like that would be too drastic a change for both of them I think. While I believe is at his core a kind person, to get rid of everything that makes him who he is would be a bad idea I think.
They'll probably take some middle ground with both of them.

And a hypocrite is someone who pretends to have principles but behaves otherwise....not sure if Suzaku really falls into that because he seriously wants to kill himself and prevent other people from doing what he did. Forgot which Drama it was that Suzaku wanted to speak out to Lelouch about it.

He claimed that he joined the army because he doesn't want to see people die, but really he's just looking for a place to die.
He claimed that he want to change Britannia from the inside, but really all he wants is to die.
He seriously wants to kill himself. Yes. Does he admit it? No.
He's always covering it up with pretty lies. We know he want to die because Mao dug out this fact. He never admitted it. Never. Not even after Mao dug it out.
Pretends to have principles but behaves otherwise?
That's what Suzaku has always been doing throughout the first season!
You seem to think it's a noble thing to seek death, but forgetting he's doing it while claiming he's doing things for greater good. From the moment we know he want to die, every merit he has done is meaningless, and every ideal he claimed to have is lie. People saving? Change Britannia from the inside? Nah. These sorts of ideals are only lies to cover his true intention- to get killed.
Suzaku is trying to justify himself. Said by the director Taniguchi.
The part that he wanted to speak out to Lelouch was picture drama 9.
Better watch it again, because you're selectively remembering (and twisting) things to make him look good. The whole picture drama is to show us how sick Suzaku is, how he live in the past and couldn't move on, and how he keeps forcing his opinion on others.
He tried to tell Lelouch? Yes. Did Lelouch stop him? No.
Why didn't he say it? Because he's afraid to do so.
And now he's bickering and whining about how things might have changed if he did tell Lelouch.
Who's fault is it, for not saying these words he think are so important?
Who's paying the price?
Lelouch of course! Who else? It's all so natural!
"Might"s and "if"s. All thinking and nothing practical. He's living in the past and pays no attention to present. Living in regrets and kept dreaming what might happen if he could change the past. And someone else has to pay the price for not living up to his dreamt up world.
Prevent other people from doing what he did? Oh what a pretty excuse. Just because "killing dad" happened to be part of Lelouch's plan, it doesn't mean it'll be totally meaningless and at the end Lelouch will sit there and whine for 7 years like him. He stabbed his dad in a quarrel, thinking it will stop the war but results in Japan conquered. Does Lelouch's plan only include walking into Wakamoto's room and stab him?
Who has the right to foretell Lelouch will fail?
Who has the right to foretell Lelouch will regret it like he did?
Who has the right to judge what is right and what is wrong?
Suzaku of course! Who else? It's all so natural!
Of course Suzaku has every right to judge others! He became omnipotent because he killed his dad!
I killed my dad and regretted it. Therefore anyone, no matter what he do, as long as it involve dad-killing, he will regret it. Therefore I'm stopping you, Lelouch, for your own good. It's even better to leave you dead than to let you do this.
This is Suzaku's reasoning.
We've reached the conclusion- this is wrong. I must correct you. For Nunnally, and for Euphie.
This is the exact line he said in the picture drama.
Out straight insane. Let's see how many twitched thoughts are in this line:
1. What conclusion? Conclusion for what? St. Suzaku say it's conclusion then it's conclusion?
2. Who's to judge what it wrong?
3. Who has the right to "correct" other people? Is Lelouch his son or a pet of his?
4. What does he know about Nunnally's and Euphie's thoughts? Nothing. Nothing at all.
5. For Nunnally and Euphie? Did they ask him to "correct" Lelouch? It's purely revenge. Just say so. Stop wrapping selfish intentions with pretty lies like "for their sake".
And before anyone takes Lelouch's "For Nunnally" into argument, I'll explain it first. The sentence is unfinished when he says "for Nunnally":
I'm doing this for Nunnally, therefore I'll move on, no matter what.
I'm doing this for Nunnally, therefore, if Nunnally isn't here, everything I done is meaningless.
He never said it's "right" to do anything because it's for Nunnally. He's only stating the fact that even though he know he will be hated, he will take the blame and move on because he has Nunnally as a support in his heart.
--It's for Nunnally. Therefore I have the strength to move on.
Suzaku's is:
I'm doing this for Nunnally and Euphie, therefore you're wrong and I'll correct you.
--It's for Nunnally. It's for her own good.
See the difference?
And he's out to do it. Forcing his crooked thoughts on others, as always. Using pretty excuses- for the sake of others, as always.
It's like he stumbled on a stone and fell, then sit there and whined for 7 years. (His time stopped. He refused to move on since 7 years ago. This is the fact stated in the picture drama.)
Now he automatically assumes everyone who walk on similar road will also stumble, fall, and whine like him.
(The most important thing is, which road is similar is also decided by him. Whether it's similar or not doen't matter. It's the same because he says so.)
So he will "correct" anyone who tries to walk on it by kicking him off.
It doesn't matter if that person will stumble. Because Suzaku believes he will stumble, then he must stumble, and Suzaku must stop him before he stumble.
And it's for that person's own good. For the good of people around him.
I don't know if there's a word for this kind of person.

you let some of the rage against Suzaku escape your heart Koshimizu?
still, I somewhat wonder if that's Suzaku anymore. (Read: for the love of god Taniguchi, make the pain go away! I never want to see that mental disease pretending to be a human being appear before me ever again! O_<) Even picture drama 9 is basically Boku-Suzaku talking until the very last line. This new Ore-Suzaku though, he might not be a hypocrite who cares about things like right and wrong, he might just be a killer. At least that path was open to Suzaku in the cave, and he can be that in R2 so long as he doesn't pull back from how he acted then.

A very nice explanation on season 1 Suzaku. I think that depiction is pretty much exactly what Taniguchi wanted us to see in Suzaku's character.
Well, it seems as if he went back into Ore-Suzaku permanently. I think there may be a few parts of the old personality left, but most of it is probably gone.
I am rather curious if he'll still convince people anymore, or just kill them and be done with it. The scene of him in the trailer looked like a cold killer to me.

Same here, while it will be nice to see him being a badass and a much needed rest from all his preaching, the fact that he no longer has a cause worth believing in anymore will still probably lead me to hate him, even if I might respect him slightly or be amazed by his performance. Lelouch, hopefully, will still possess his moral ambiguity and grand ambitions to keep the show interesting and thought-provoking

You don't think killing your own father as kid would mentally scar someone and cause them to be irrational? I mean how old was he when he did that? Granted Suzaku is wrong but he clearly has severe mental isssues from what he did so I don't see why people hate him for it. I mean he's certainly not as mentally strong as Lelouch is but him trying to stop someone from walking the same path that in his eyes brings only pain and misery is exactly something to hate someone for? Well I guess so since you do but I can't understand it. In fact I can't see why you can't see it like I do. Oh no am I a Suzaku too? Assuming people will react the way the you do to a situation is human nature.
Of course I'm not suggesting that Suzaku is the hero he thinks he is. He's wonderfully flawed just like nearly every character in the show. That's what Code Geass is.

Well, at the very least Lelouch accepts his flaws, as will Suzaku in time. Much like Lelouch's comment in episode 5, this war between the two of them and their respective factions will be decided by who wins in the end. Good, Bad, it won't matter one manages to end the other and shape the world as they see fit when it's all said and done. This debate can go on for a while yet, and it's likely we'll never come to a complete agreement about which character is better, what will decide that will be which one who manages to succeed, and that's all. BTW, this lends credibility to Lelouch's arguments if you hadn't noticed

Now, if Suzaku decides to stop trying to be a wolf in sheep's clothing and just acts like the wolf he is, (since clearly he's not just going to walk away from the stage, from this personal war of his) I think a lot of us are willing to forgive him. But otherwise he's living a lie and is the worst kind of selfish person imaginable: one who refuses to even admit that they're selfish.

But that doesn't change the fact that he became a jerk.
Who has the right to judge what is right and what is wrong?
I don't see how people kept missing that.
St. Suzaku decides what will bring misary.
St. Suzaku guide you off the wrong track.
He's forcing his opinion on others, and kill them if they don't agree.
I don't see anything wrong in getting hated for that.
I can't see why you can't see it like I do. Therefore I'll correct you!
That's exactly Suzaku's thoughts.

Yes, excellent explanation on him. I wonder how he'll be in season 2 though.
Lelouch's progress is something I look forward to as well. C.C. could also use some more development I think and Kallen is pretty much guarenteed to get more development since her story was moved.

The 2019 Mitsubishi L200 Review
2019 Mitsubishi L200 New Review : The 2019 Mitsubishi L200 Review
Rumors of a new being in the works have been confirmed with the debut of the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 today. The 2019 Mitsubishi L200 will slot between the crossover and the full-
size SUV. The 2019 Mitsubishi L200 reboots a name from the past, and leaves truck bona fides behind for crossover comfort.
The new vehicle is a mid-size crossover SUV with front-drive roots, seating for five, and a base inline-4 engine. It will be sold in base, Premier, and RS models. With a set of drive modes offered to the driver, the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 will be able to tailor its stability and traction systems to driving conditions. We expect most shoppers will upgrade the front-drive 2019 Mitsubishi L200 with one of two all-wheel-drive systems.
Wireless smartphone charging and USB ports are available on all models, as are an 8.0-inch touchscreen for infotainment, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and hardware for in-car wireless data.
No EPA fuel economy figures or prices have been announced. The 2019 Mitsubishi L200 goes on sale early in calendar-year 2019. Though Chevrolet has shown us the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 midsize crossover SUV in carefully retouched photos and under stage lights, we haven't seen it in natural light until now. One of our spy photographers caught a few examples of the new crossover on public roads. They include the top-end Premier model and the more entry-level LT version.
Overall, we in the office agree that the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 looks better in its natural environment. The myriad creases are softened ever so slightly, making it look less busy. Also nice to see is that the Premier (seen in white) doesn't look overly bulky with its body color cladding. The LT also doesn't look too downmarket. In fact, it looks pretty much like the RS, but with chrome and smaller wheels.
Here is imperative tip on 2019 mitsubishi l200. We have the finest substance for 2019 mitsubishi l200. Check it out for yourself! You can gather The 2019 Mitsubishi L200 Review guide and read the latest 2019 Mitsubishi L200 New Review in here.

ANC: Put disruptive members behind bars
"We have got a team of about 18 NEC [national executive committee] members all over the place who are dealing with ill-discipline in the nominations process," ANC spokesperson Jackson Mthembu said on Tuesday.
"If they need to initiate disciplinary measures, they will do so through the relevant structures. If they need to call the police, they will do so as well."
Mthembu was commenting on a report in the Star on Tuesday that a prominent ANC member allegedly threatened to shoot his fellow Gauteng branch members following a disagreement over the nomination process.
The branch was holding its nomination conference prior to the provincial conference, and ahead of the party's elective conference in Mangaung in December.
Mthembu said he was not aware of the incident.
"We do not condone such actions. If a member does that, then they belong behind bars."
On Monday ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe said the NEC team was "actively dealing with complaints with the mandate to resolve them".
"All of this is intended to minimise queries in the conference [in Mangaung] to the barest minimum."
The Star reported that the incident took place at the Adelaide Tambo branch, Olivienhoutbosch, Pretoria.
The disagreement between members erupted over claims that the audited membership for the branch had been tampered with.
There was reportedly conflict between members supporting a second term for President Jacob Zuma, and those who wanted Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe to replace him.
The branch's nominations process was postponed, and its leadership lodged a formal complaint at the ANC's Luthuli House headquarters in Johannesburg on Monday.
The City Press reported on Sunday that the ANC had proposed an amendment to its constitution to allow it to immediately expel members convicted of fraud, theft, or corruption.

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.

When Health Management Associates assumes control of Munroe Regional Medical Center from the Marion County Hospital District in the fall, the hospital district won't just go dark.
When Health Management Associates assumes control of Munroe Regional Medical Center from the Marion County Hospital District in the fall, the hospital district won't just go dark.
In fact, the citizen trustees appointed to oversee the hospital district say the process of handing over Munroe to the Naples-based company is a complex process of tying up loose ends.
There are vendor contracts that must be cancelled, outstanding patient bills that must be collected, employee pensions that must be closed out and more. But the hospital district doesn't have any paid staffers to handle these chores.
So the trustees recently tapped former Sheriff Ed Dean -- who has experience in the law, finance and business -- to help them deal with this tsunami of details.
And they got an unexpected bonus when Dean agreed to do it for free.
"They asked me, and I thought about it. It is a rather large task they have ahead of them for the wind-down," Dean said Thursday. "I came back to them and said I think I can help you but let me volunteer my services and see what I can do."
He quickly discovered that it won't be an easy task.
For instance, like every hospital, Munroe has to submit to audits to ensure that its admissions were proper. The hospital must justify each of the hundreds of admissions that Medicare audits.
HMA won't provide the staff and resources to justify admissions made before it took over Munroe, so it falls to the Hospital District to do so. Dean probably won't handle those audits himself but will recommend a course of action, which may involve hiring a firm with experience defending hospitals in these audits.
Dean will also have to recommend what to do about the 1,000-plus contracts that Munroe currently has with vendors and workers.
"HMA has to determine which ones it will assume and which ones it will not," Dean said. "And then the ones it will not assume, we will have to unwind."
In addition, there are years worth of financial and public records that must be preserved and protected, and the pensions of Munroe employees will have to be closed out when they become employees of HMA and enroll in that company's pension plan.
Dean said he has started talking to officials at other hospitals who turned their operations over to HMA to tap into their experience dealing with identical issues. Those include Bayfront Medical Center, which became an HMA property last year, and Sparks Regional Medical Center in Arkansas.
In many ways, Dean is well suited for this work.
A lawyer by trade, he provided legal services to several hospitals throughout Florida, including two in Sarasota and the publicly owned Marion County Hospital District here.
He also worked as an executive in the private sector. He was vice president of operations for Townley Manufacturing southeast of Ocala from 1975 to 1979; was vice president of Kysor Industrial Corporation; returned to Townley Manufacturing in 1983; and co-founded Pro Poly of America, a manufacturer of fire truck components, in 1996. Along the way, he also founded his own law firm, Dean & Dean, P.A.
Dean is best known, however, as the longtime sheriff of Marion County. Although he had never held public office and had never been a police officer, Dean was appointed to fill the remainder of Sheriff Ken Ergle's term when Ergle was arrested for embezzling public funds.
Even during his time as sheriff, Dean was involved in several high-profile efforts to transform local health care services.
When local hospitals complained that their emergency rooms were clogged with thousands of patients who simply didn't have any access to routine medical care, Dean led a private effort to create a community clinic that today serves thousands of low-income people a year under the name Heart of Florida Health Centers.
Complaints about poor inmate care at the Marion County Jail also prompted Dean to expel the private medical group that was providing the service and create a new group made up of local medical professionals.

I might get hold of a su200 for really cheap. Is it worth getting? I read there are a lot of annoying short comings, and it is useless when using samples at 44.1 khz - in order to use the effects, the samples have to be 22 khz or lower.
I can however see some usefulness in the loop remix function. Does anyone have any experience with his sampler?
Is it worth $50?

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- The San Diego Chargers say their game Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals will be blacked out in Southern California because nearly 11,000 general admission tickets remained unsold at Thursday's deadline.
It will be the second straight blackout and third this season for the Chargers (4-7) who are nearing elimination from playoff contention for the third straight season.
The team also says "many" higher-priced club-level seats are available. Those don't count toward the numbers needed to lift the blackout.
It's believed the Chargers lose roughly $1 million in ticket revenue when that many tickets remain unsold.
Earlier this year, several corporate sponsors stepped up to help save the Chargers the embarrassment of having an NFL Network game against the Kansas City Chiefs blacked out on local TV. Those sponsors guaranteed the purchase of roughly 10,000 tickets to lift the blackout.
More than 9,000 general admission tickets remained unsold 72 hours before last week's game against Baltimore. The Sept. 23 game against Atlanta was blacked out when 9,200 tickets remained unsold at the deadline.

Pfizer Inc., the world's biggest drugmaker, was asked by U.S. regulators how it recorded high profit overseas and losses at home when 40 percent of its sales were inside the U.S.
In a May 9 letter filed today, Securities and Exchange Commission staff asked New York-based Pfizer to explain why earnings before taxes outside the U.S. were $15 billion in 2011 while losses within the country were $2.2 billion. By piling up profit in low-tax jurisdictions overseas, Pfizer has been able to cut its tax rate reported to investors and boost results.
"These operating results appear to be inconsistent with your domestic and international revenues, which in 2011 were $26.9 billion and $40.5 billion, respectively," wrote Jim Rosenberg, the commission's senior assistant chief accountant.
Pfizer is one of the most aggressive U.S. companies reporting income in countries with lower tax rates than the U.S. as a way of reducing their effective tax rate, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The drugmaker had the second-highest amount of profit kept overseas, $63 billion, behind only General Electric Co., according to securities filings as of March.
Pfizer is among the companies that have lobbied U.S. lawmakers for a tax holiday that would allow it to bring some of the overseas profit back to the country at a lower tax rate. Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, argued for such a holiday in his Oct. 3 debate with President Barack Obama.
Not Helpful
In its response to regulators, Pfizer wrote that giving more information about how it distributed its earnings among various locations wouldn't be helpful to investors.
"The geographical mix of revenues is not a good indicator of the split between domestic and international pretax earnings for purposes of financial statement presentation, especially for a multinational company that manages its operations on a global basis," wrote Loretta V. Cangialosi, Pfizer's controller.
"We do not believe that disclosure regarding the reasons for the geographical split of pretax earnings would be meaningful or useful to investors," she wrote on May 22.
In 2009, according to the correspondence, Pfizer cut 9.4 percent from its tax rate by designating profit as overseas. And in 2011 the company reduced the rate 3.3 percent.
Pfizer is slimming down by divesting its animal health and infant nutrition units to focus on producing new medicines to replace revenue from its best-selling cholesterol pill Lipitor, which until it lost patent protection last year was the top drug in the world with about $9.6 billion in 2011 sales.
Pfizer has paid all the taxes it is legally obligated to, said Joan Campion, a company spokeswoman.
150 Countries
"We conduct business in more than 150 countries and face significant competition from companies located outside the United States, including many competitors located in lower tax jurisdictions," Campion said in an e-mail. "At all times and wherever we operate, Pfizer complies with the appropriate tax law."
Pfizer said in an Aug. 27 letter that it would add more disclosure, including a line saying, "the jurisdictional location of earnings is a significant component of our effective tax rate each year as tax rates outside of the U.S. are generally lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate." The company would also explain how tax breaks in Ireland, Singapore and Puerto Rico lower its rates.
"We believe the disclosures provided are sufficient and have received a response from the SEC that it has no further comments on those filings," Campion said.
Pfizer is not alone in getting these questions from the SEC. In December, the commission questioned Google about its earnings in other countries.
Florence Harmon, a spokeswoman for the SEC, declined to comment.

Three U.S. Turtles Receive International Trade Protection
Will Help End Runaway Trade of Eastern U.S. Turtles for Asian Meat Markets
BANGKOK, Thailand— Countries voted today to accept a U.S. proposal to regulate and monitor international trade of Blanding's turtles, spotted turtles and diamondback terrapins. The decision, designed to curb overexploitation of the freshwater turtles for Asian food and medicinal markets, was made at an international meeting of the parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The protections come in response to a 2011 petition from the Center for Biological Diversity, which documented the harmful turtle trade, leading to the U.S. proposal.
"I'm so pleased that the nations of the world are acting to save freshwater turtles in the United States," said the Center's Collette Adkins Giese, an attorney and biologist who works to save endangered reptiles and amphibians. "International protection is vital for the survival of our wild freshwater turtles, which are suffering from overexploitation, habitat loss and other threats."
Most of the more than 2 million wild-caught, live turtles exported from the United States each year supply food and medicinal markets in Asia, where native turtle populations have already been depleted by soaring consumption. Adult turtles are also taken from the wild to breed hatchlings for the international pet trade.
Overexploitation has caused population declines in almost all turtle species, with many now either protected as endangered under the Endangered Species Act or under consideration for such protection. In 2012 the Center petitioned for protection of the spotted turtle and Blanding's turtle under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, along with 51 other reptiles and amphibians, which are among the most endangered groups in the world. A recent study estimates that half of all turtle species worldwide are threatened with extinction.
"Turtle traders are depleting U.S. populations at a frightening rate. It's got to stop soon or we're going to lose these incredible animals from the wild," said Adkins Giese. "Commercial trade only compounds the problems native turtles already face from habitat destruction, water pollution and being hit and killed by cars."
Today's vote comes during the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP16), now meeting in Thailand. The three turtles were added to a list called "CITES Appendix II." For species included on this list, international trade is regulated by a system in which permits are issued only when trade has been determined to be nondetrimental to species survival. CITES-listed species are also subject to mandatory reporting requirements.
The United States is a turtle biodiversity hotspot, home to more types of turtles than any other country in the world. As part of a campaign to protect this rich natural heritage, the Center in 2008 and 2009 petitioned states with unrestricted commercial turtle harvest to improve harvest regulations. In 2009 Florida responded by banning almost all commercial harvest of freshwater turtles from public and private waters; in 2012 Georgia approved state rules regulating the commercial harvest of turtles and Alabama completely banned commercial harvests. The Center has also petitioned to list several species of imperiled freshwater turtles under the Endangered Species Act.
The Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) is a medium to large turtle targeted by the pet trade because of its beautiful yellow chin and throat. It once ranged through much of the Great Lakes region and the northeastern United States, but the only large remaining populations are found in Minnesota and Nebraska. Blanding's turtles have suffered extensive slow declines from habitat loss, road mortality and intense predation on eggs and hatchlings.
The spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata) is small, black turtle with yellow spots on its smooth shell — an attractive animal that's another unfortunate favorite in the pet trade. It ranges from southern Ontario and Maine southward only from the Atlantic Coastal Plain and Piedmont to northern Florida and westward through Ontario, New York, Pennsylvania, central Ohio, northern Indiana, and Michigan to northeastern Illinois. The turtle has likely suffered a 50 percent overall reduction in population size, with much of this loss irreversible because of habitat loss.
The diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) is the only species of turtle that resides exclusively in salt marshes. It is a medium-sized turtle with concentric markings on its shell and gray skin with dark blotches or stripes. It is found along the Atlantic Coast of the eastern United States from Cape Cod, Mass., to the Florida Keys and west along the Gulf Coast to Corpus Christi, Texas. Scientists have observed declines as steep as 75 percent over a 20-year period due to loss of nesting habitat, human collection for meat and pets, and incidental mortality in crab pots.

Nursing Students Revive Teacher Who 'Died' During Class
October 29, 2013
Tough and stubborn. Those are the words friends and family use frequently when asked to describe Amy Hunter. After Oct. 16, they've added "survivor" and "blessed" to the list as well.
Hunter, 36, was teaching an anatomy class at Uintah Basin Applied Technology College that day when her heart stopped beating and she fell backward onto her desk.
"For a second I just thought she was giving us a first aid test," Union High School senior Rachel Richens said.
Heidi Bangerter, who is studying to be a certified nursing assistant, knew better though. She remembers thinking Hunter was having a seizure. Then she determined something far worse was happening.
"So I said, 'I'm calling 911,'" Bangerter said.
"I just jumped up as fast as I could and ran down to the office," Richens added. "I told them our teacher had collapsed and we needed help.
"When I told them it was Amy Hunter, you could see the look of just shock and almost horror on their faces," Richens said. "Like, 'Oh, she's got a bad heart.'"
Hunter was born with a congenital heart abnormality called Epstein's malformation of the tricuspid valve. Over the years, she's undergone three valve-replacement surgeries and has even had a pacemaker implanted.
When the UBATC office staff learned Hunter had collapsed, someone grabbed the automated external defibrillator from his storage cabinet and headed for her classroom. They also summoned help from the practical nursing class across the hall.
"We have labs every Wednesday with the nursing students," said Alicia Tegan, a registered nurse and UBATC's director of practical nursing.
"I don't run the labs, so I'm not normally here, but I teach pharmacology and was here that day teaching the students how to give shots," said Tegan, who is a certified emergency room nurse with a master's degree in nursing and 25 years experience.
In the classroom with Tegan that day were four emergency medical technicians, another emergency room nurse and a nurse who works in the intensive care unit at Ashley Regional Medical Center in Vernal.
They all converged on Hunter's classroom, as did trained EMTs from other departments on the UBATC campus.
"It didn't look good," said Tegan, who has known Hunter since she was a little girl. "She was completely unconscious. We were not hearing a heartbeat."
The other ER nurse began chest compressions, and the ICU nurse held Hunter's airway open until a device could be inserted by an EMT to keep it open. Then the automated external defibrillator was set up.
"We did shock her twice," Tegan said, noting that there was "a lot of relief" when a heartbeat was detected.
"I know she had someone watching over her," she said.
Given her medical history, the fact that Hunter had a heartbeat when she arrived at Uintah Basin Medical Center was "a huge deal," according to Dr. Greg Staker.
"She died and they got her back. The fact that someone started CPR on her had a huge impact in saving her life," said Staker, who was part of the medical team that spent more than two hours stabilizing Hunter for transport to University Hospital.
Staker admits he didn't have much hope for Hunter's survival when he helped load her onto a medical helicopter for the flight to Salt Lake City. He had even less hope when he called University Hospital the next day and was told Hunter had been put on a lung bypass machine.
But Hunter, a competitive barrel racer despite her heart condition, has proven to Staker and everyone else just how tough she is. She is now off the lung bypass machine and is being weaned off the sedatives that kept her in a medically induced coma, her husband said Friday.
She even removed her breathing tube and asked her nurse if she could keep it out for a while, Josh Hunter said.
"She's getting better one baby step at a time, but I'm still amazed that we've come so far in eight days," he said.
Amy Hunter's family believes divine intervention put the right people in the right place at the right time to bring her back.
"This past week has been surreal," said her sister, Jodi Reinhardt. "We keep hearing about people who were there that day who weren't even supposed to be there.
"If Amy would have been driving, or if Amy had been in her office, or if Amy had been anywhere else at that time," Reinhardt said, pausing to regain control of her emotions, "she probably wouldn't be here with us."
Hunter has moved to the top of the transplant list because a new heart is the only thing that will save her life, her sister said. A benefit dinner and auction is set for Nov. 15 in Roosevelt to help offset some of the medical expenses.
Reinhardt said even if people cannot contribute, her family would like them to at least consider organ donation.
"There are families out there with people they love who will not live without (organ donation)," she said. "And I hope that families who let their loved one be an organ donor will know how much they are blessing and helping another family."

Strum! Tune! Rock! TC Electronic PolyTune Released Today!
Mark this date as the day guitar tuning changed forever because TC Electronic's revolutionary – and now multi-award-winning – PolyTune™ guitar tuner is shipping worldwide. Now everyone can find out why the guitar world is going PolyTune™ crazy…!
When TC Electronic unveiled PolyTune at this year's NAMM show we confidently predicted that it would be the product of the show, and guess what? PolyTune was named 'Best in Show' at NAMM 2010! That was just the start of it, though, because it opened the door to a flood of other awards in the guitar media.
Guitar World gave PolyTune its Platinum Award, Guitar Player bestowed its Editor Pick on the tuner while Guitarist gave it its Choice Award and Premier Guitar its Premier Gear Award. But there's even better news because from today PolyTune is available worldwide and should arrive here at Dolphin Music very soon - so make sure to order your PolyTune today!
Now everyone can experience the biggest revolution in tuners in the past 30 years!
So what is all the fuss about?
Put simply guitarists and bass players can forget the old days of string-by-string tuning. TC Electronic's PolyTune is the quickest and easiest way to tune your guitar because it is the world's first polyphonic guitar tuner. This cutting-edge tuning technology revolutionizes tuning and accomplishes what has been deemed 'impossible' until now: tuning all strings simultaneously! Simply strum – PolyTune™ will tell you which strings need tuning – tune up and you're ready to rock!
PolyTune™ has an amazing chromatic tuner as well, rivaling the best current tuning technology out there, with an amazing +/- 0.5 cent accuracy. MonoPoly, another unique new TC Electronic technology, recognizes whether you play one or more strings and seamlessly switches between the polyphonic or the chromatic tuner on the fly.
PolyTune™ offers unprecedented visibility using an ambient light sensor, which automatically matches the intensity of the super bright LEDs to its surroundings. This ensures that the PolyTune™ display can be seen in any lighting conditions. So whatever the gig, whatever the light, whatever the situation, guitarists can now strum, tune and rock in an instant.
True Bypass makes sure that PolyTune™ preserves the integrity of your precious tone. It allows for the signal to flow unaffected when the pedal is bypassed and for silent tuning once engaged.
The PolyTune™ pedal chassis features a diecast aluminum box, heavy duty footswitch and 108 LED display, all built to endure life on the road.
Quite simply, PolyTune™ is the greatest innovation in guitar tuners for over 30 years. Tuning could not be easier or quicker.

Mmmmmm....looks delicious.ReplyDelete

This recipe gave me a sudden craving for chicken and waffles.ReplyDelete
Yadi I.-ReplyDelete
Did you really have to put chicken and waffles in the same sentence?! Love that combo! Looks like it is back to the frying pan for me:)
OMG this looks amazing! yummm butter milk batter...Nothing beats a really crispy fried chicken drumstick. total comfort food. Stunning photos and thanks for sharing your recipe!ReplyDelete
Southern fried chicken, now I'm craving it!ReplyDelete
I just made this fried chicken this evening and it was SO GOOD! I was craving some super salty, spicy chicken, so I added quite a bit more salt and spices to the batter and it definitely hit the spot! The trick to drizzle buttermilk in the batter worked perfectly, and it was so thick and crunchy!ReplyDelete
Thanks for this recipe, it will definitely be my go-to any time I make fried chicken!
Yeah! I am so glad you enjoyed it. Extra spices is good and so is a bit of cayenne or tabasco:) Thank you for leaving a comment and letting me know. .
I've been craving fried chicken since seeing the Help. And I've tried this method before - where you add buttermilk to the flour mixture but it never works for me. I can't get the flour/buttermilk to stick to the chicken and the parts I do get to stick fall off in the oil. Any tips?ReplyDelete
Mommy Tanya-ReplyDelete
Once the chicken has brined in the buttermilk, coat each piece in the flour/buttermilk mixture and then let it dry on a rack for 20-30. This will help ensure a good crust. Make sure your oil is hot enough and you should have some crispy and crunchy southern fried chicken to enjoy!

Followed the recipe to a T and the compliments I received from a crowd of 6 guys just never stopped!ReplyDelete
I served this last night and woke up to a list of text messages (of compliments) and a friend stopping by at 7:45am to pick-up leftovers. You can do the math, but I'd recommend making this.
P.S. I had no issue with the 3T. of buttermilk adding to the flour mixture. Came out perfect for me.
I am so pleased you enjoyed the recipe! Tell your friend that picked up leftovers that cold fried chicken is really good with a drizzle of honey:P
- AnonymousJune 30, 2012
That chicken look delicious! I have fried chicken in the past but I could never get a crunchy crust! I can't wait to try this recipe! I do have one question: How significant is the baking powder to this recipe? I currently do not have any and I am wondering if I should go out and purchase some. Please let me know. Thanks!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
The baking powder reacts with the buttermilk to make for a crunchy, crispy crust.Delete
- ErinAugust 01, 2012
Can you use boneless with this same recipe?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, but the frying time will be less.Delete
- ErinAugust 01, 2012
How much time would I reduce it by?Delete
It will depend on which type of cut you are using. For boneless thighs, about 5-7 minutes per side. For boneless breasts, about 8-10 minutes per side.Delete
First time making fried chicken (always a bit intimidated by it) and it turned out delicious! You inspire me and keep me cooking. Thank you!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh, thank you.Delete
- AnonymousAugust 28, 2012
Am i able to use ghee instead of shortening when frying my chicken?ReplyDeleteReplies
I cannot speak from experience and I do not know how the taste will be altered, but ghee does have a smoke point of 485° F and is suitable for deep frying.Delete
Thanks for visiting my blog! I love hearing from family, friends, and bloggers, so please leave a comment. Happy cooking!

I downloaded "First Greek Book". I've got the alphabet mostly memorized, and can transliterate the Lesson 1 words and give the names of the letters. So, on to Lesson 2. It talks about the cirumflex, which (always?) goes on long syllables. How does the circumflex indicate which syllable gets the most emphasis? And the grave, can anyone describe in real life terms what makes that different from the acute?
Does the long symbol over a vowel make it do this, for example: a without long symbol sounds like o in rot, a with long symbol sounds like a in race ?
After getting the pronunciation down, what would be the best way to begin learning Lesson 3 and so on, completely understand each lesson, or just understand the basics and quickly move to the next lesson?

The Alamance-Burlington Board of Education held an open forum March 14 at Cummings High School. During this time, 23 people spoke candidly to the board on a wide range of topics from safety and bullying to curriculum and pedagogy. I was personally excited to see so many concerned citizens, parents, teachers, and students in attendance and participating! board member Steve Van Pelt agreed, �I was pleasantly surprised by the large audience who attended the forum. There are some ideas that have stuck with me, and I will encourage the board to pursue them,� he said.
ABSS staff will be following up with individuals on specific issues raised at the forum. Other topics will be considered for future board meeting agenda items and for potential policy-changing needs.
The most impressive moment of the evening for me was seeing the boldness of Jon Wilking of Mebane, an Eastern Alamance High School student who shared several personal concerns.
At each monthly meeting our agenda contains a public comment period where citizens may continue to share input. School board meetings are held on the fourth Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at Central Office. Additionally, the board agreed last May to hold similar public forums on an annual basis.
These efforts convey the comments of board member Pam Thompson, �The Board of Education needs to be open-minded and approachable to the teachers, parents, and students of Alamance County. We must convey by our actions and words that we are elected to serve them.�
Tony Rose is chairman of the Alamance-Burlington Board of Education.

Dennis Tito sees his human Mars-flyby mission shaping future spaceflight, even if it doesn't fly
If Dennis Tito has his way, when NASA launches a stripped-down version of the robotic Mars Curiosity rover toward the red planet in 2020, a middle-aged married couple with good mechanical skills and "resilient" personalities will be offering first-hand commentary to reporters at Cape Canaveral on what the planet looks like from 100 mi. up.
Even if the Inspiration Mars Foundation that Tito is bankrolling for two years from his own deep pockets never gets its human Mars-flyby mission off the ground, the world's first space tourist believes it will have given the U.S. space endeavor a much-needed boost. Benefits will accrue via technical data for future attempts, possible medical breakthroughs needed for deep-space travel and, yes, inspiration.
"You reach an age where you say 'OK, it's put up or shut up,'" says Tito, 72. "You've been successful. Now, what are you going to leave behind? What are you going to leave behind to your kids [and] to society? I have five grandsons. Should I leave them all my money, or should I do something like this."
Building on Mars and Venus fly-by trajectories he drafted for the Mariner program as a young engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory—before he made his fortune as a financier—and a 1998 professional paper on free-return Mars trajectories, Tito and experts he hired for the purpose have concluded that it is possible to send a two-person crew around Mars and back to Earth in 501 days, provided they leave in January 2018. The projected route will take them in toward the Sun as close as Venus before swinging around the dark side of Mars for a direct return.
No new technology would be needed, but existing technology would have to be "customized" for the task, and fast. Topping the list are environmental control and life support systems (ECLSS), and the thermal protection systems (TPS) needed to handle the space environment between the orbits of Venus and Mars, and the fastest reentry into the atmosphere ever attempted.
Tito has hired Paragon Space Development Corp., a Tucson, Ariz.-based life-support house, to work the ECLSS problem. Paragon is also the signatory on a new Space Act agreement with NASA's Ames Research Center for help with the TPS that will be necessary to protect the crew as they hurtle back into the atmosphere at 14.2 kps, and to evaluate the best strategy—including aerocapture and skip-entry—to bleed off that speed for a safe landing.
According to a peer-reviewed paper prepared by Tito's group for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the mission would require no maneuvers except small course corrections after a trans-Martian injection burn, and would allow no aborts. Briefing reporters at the National Press Club on Feb. 27, Tito said the mission would use low-Earth-orbit launch and human-spacecraft technology, outfitted for the long duration of a flight to Mars. The 10-ton crew vehicle—a capsule to best handle the reentry heat and an inflatable or rigid habitat—would contain all of the ECLSS and other gear the crew would need to stay alive. That would include 3,000 lb. of dehydrated food, exercise equipment to mitigate the effects of long-term weightlessness, and compact equipment derived from International Space Station gear to recycle water and maintain the atmosphere. There would be no spacesuits or airlock, and the crew would have to endure the travel in about 600 cu. ft. of volume.
"It's not going to be a very easy trip," says Jane Poynter, chairwoman and president of Paragon. "One way to think about it is this: It's a really long road trip. You're jammed into an RV [driving] the equivalent of 32,000 times around the Earth, and you can't get out for about a year and a half."
Poynter and her husband and Paragon co-founder Taber MacCallum have experience living in an artificial closed-loop environment as veterans of the Biosphere-2 experiment, where they spent two years with six other "crewmembers" simulating some of the conditions the Inspiration Mars crew will face. Among those were mood swings and loss of energy, as well as interpersonal tensions that led some members of the crew to avoid speaking to each other unless absolutely necessary.
Tito says the rigors of the anticipated mission—and the desire to represent all of humankind—suggest a couple with a long marriage behind them would be ideal, provided they have the mechanical skills to maintain the ECLSS and other hardware. They would also need "factors of personal accommodation and behavioral self-knowledge, sometimes referred to as resilient personalities," according to the group's IEEE paper.
MacCallum, who is Paragon's chief technical officer as well as its CEO, says automation will be kept to a minimum, particularly in the ECLSS hardware, for simplicity and all-important reliability. The crew will maintain and repair the hardware, which will be inside the pressurized volume to avoid the complexity and weight of spacewalking gear. He and Poynter plan to try out for the job, he says.
Dr. Jonathan Clark, the mission's chief medical officer, says he hopes to have a crew and backup screened and selected within a year to allow plenty of time for training and conditioning, and to develop a "tailored" medical program for each crewmember. A former NASA flight surgeon, Clark says the mission will draw on NASA's experience selecting astronauts and the latest in genetic and proteomic screening to develop medical regimens to keep them healthy.
One critical problem will be space radiation, long identified as a major deep-space hurdle. The crew vehicle will carry its upper stage along to interpose between the Sun and the crew, which will also probably have some sort of water-shielded shelter against high-energy solar coronal mass ejections. For cosmic background radiation, Clark says, data derived from the Mars Science Laboratory transit to Mars suggest the mission would be "in that ballpark" of the NASA lifetime limit on astronaut radiation exposure for middle-aged crewmembers, which would boost by about 3% their chance of developing cancer at some point.
"The real issue is in understanding the risk," says Clark, whose wife Dr. Laurel Clark was killed in the Columbia accident. "The crew would know about it. They would have to decide. But you can have an excess cancer risk from smoking, from living in certain locations. So ultimately it's going to have to be those personal decisions."
While post-flight cancer can be treated, the risk of returning to Earth will be acute. TPS experts at NASA Ames will be working for the mission under a reimbursable Space Act agreement. Tito says he does not know how much it will cost him personally to fund the early stages of the effort through 2014, and he concedes the biggest expense will come when it is time to begin buying a launch vehicle and other hardware.
The Tito group based its initial calculations on a Falcon 9 heavy rocket for launch. SpaceX, which plans to fly the 27-engine heavy-lift variant of its commercial cargo rocket for the first time this year, says although it does not have an "official relationship" with the Inspiration Mars Foundation," it "will always consider providing a full spectrum of launch services to interested customers."
Tito's non-profit foundation is examining a range of options for the launch vehicle, crew capsule and habitat, working under a tight deadline. To cover the overall mission, which Tito says he believes will cost less than the $2.5 billion NASA is spending on the Mars Science Laboratory operation, the foundation will raise funds from industry, individuals and others willing to make "philanthropic" donations to spark interest in the U.S. space program. "I don't think it's going to be a real difficult problem," he says.
By comparison, NASA officials say a planned 2020 robotic Mars landing mission, using a solar-powered version of the Curiosity rover, is capped at $1.5 billion, with room for $80 million worth of U.S. instruments and perhaps another $20 million in foreign contributions.
At that rate, Tito says, the next free-return Mars-flyby opportunity in 2031 could be seized by China or another spacefaring nation. But even if the obstacles to meeting the 2018 deadline prove too great, he says, "the benefits go to the public," and NASA can use them in its own deep-space human-spaceflight program later on.

June Kathryn Vilmanyi, 86, of Bushkill, passed away peacefully in her home after a long struggle with Alzheimer's.
She was born in Moscow on Jan. 9, 1926, and was the daughter to the late Wayne and Dora Webster Learn. She met her husband, Daniel Vilmanyi, at Johnson & Johnson in New Brunswick, N.J., where they both worked. June and Dan were married on Oct. 14, 1950. They raised their family of three daughters in Bridgewater, N.J.
June was a member of Pluckemin Presbyterian Church in Pluckemin, N.J., while living there and since has been a member of Middle Smithfield Presbyterian Church, Milford Road, East Stroudsburg. She, Dan and their family enjoyed many beautiful years at their summer home on the Delaware River. She moved with Dan to Winona Lakes upon his retirement in 1987.
June loved living in the Pocono Mountains, where she enjoyed bird watching and entertaining her family and friends. She was an outgoing, energetic woman who brought joy to all who knew her. She was the love and light of Dan's life, a devoted wife for 62 years. She will be missed more than words can express.
Preceding her in death, in addition to her parents, is a daughter, Kathy June Vilmanyi.
She is survived by her loving family: her husband, Daniel Vilmanyi of Bushkill; her oldest daughter, Doreen LoCicero and her husband, Robert Perkins, of Miami, Fla.; her youngest daughter, Susan G. Vilmanyi and her husband, Frank Zarb, of Bayside, N.Y.; one grandson, Benjamin Daniel LoCicero of Miami, Fla.; and nieces, nephews and cousins.
A public visitation will be held from 4 p.m. until the time of the service Thursday, Nov. 15, at Middle Smithfield Presbyterian Church, 5205 Milford Road, East Stroudsburg.
Funeral services will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday at the church, with June's pastor, the Rev. Jeff Brower, officiating. Private cremation will take place at the convenience of the family.
The family is grateful to the Visiting Angels home care providers, who took excellent care of June during the last stages of her life.
