PFC CSKA Moskva's first home game in the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League reunites them with familiar opponents in FC Internazionale Milano.
• The clubs met in the quarter-finals two seasons ago having also crossed paths in the 2007/08 group stage, the Italian team coming out on top in all four games.
• While the Russian side fought back from two goals down earn a 2-2 draw at LOSC Lille Métropole on matchday one – Seydou Doumbia scoring twice in the final 18 minutes – Inter must regroup swiftly after suffering an unexpected 1-0 defeat by debutants Trabzonspor AŞ at San Siro. They have since parted company with coach Gian Piero Gasperini, Claudio Ranieri taking his place.
Previous meetings
• Two seasons ago, on Inter's march towards winning the UEFA Champions League for the first time, the San Siro quarter-final first leg ended with Diego Milito having given the home side the edge. A week later, Wesley Sneijder's early free-kick earned José Mourinho's team another 1-0 win.
• The lineups at the Luzhniki Stadium on 6 April 2010 were:
CSKA: Akinfeev, Šemberas, Ignashevich, A Berezutski, V Berezutski (Odiah 14), Shennikov, Dzagoev, Mamayev, González, Honda (Rahimić 77), Necid (Guilherme 71).
Inter: César, Zanetti, Lúcio, Maicon, Samuel, Stanković, Sneijder (Muntari 86), Cambiasso, Eto'o, Milito (Balotelli 74), Pandev (Chivu 63).
• In 2007/08, Inter had to come from behind to win both group games. In Moscow they triumphed 2-1 thanks to second-half goals from Hernán Crespo (52) and Walter Samuel (80) following Jô's 32nd-minute opener for the hosts.
• Inter produced an even more spectacular comeback in Milan where they trailed 2-0 to goals from Jô and Vágner Love, Esteban Cambiasso and Zlatan Ibrahimović both scoring in each half to secure a 4-2 success.
Match background
• CSKA, taking part in the group stage for the sixth time, have won two of their six home games against Italian visitors, losing three. The most recent match came in last season's UEFA Europa League group stage when US Città di Palermo were defeated 3-0, Doumbia scoring twice with Tomáš Necid adding a late third.
• In the 2004/05 UEFA Cup semi-final they defeated Parma FC 3-0, progressing by the same aggregate score. Daniel Carvalho (2) and Vasili Berezutski scored for a CSKA side who went on to lift their first European trophy with a 3-1 final defeat of Sporting Clube de Portugal.
• In their last UEFA Champions League participation two seasons ago, CSKA won two home games in the group stage and lost the other. Before facing Inter they had seen off the challenge of Sevilla FC in the round of 16 with a 2-1 win in Spain after the home leg ended 1-1.
• In seven visits to Moscow for European ties, Inter have only suffered one defeat. That came in the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League group stage when FC Lokomotiv Moskva beat them 3-0. The Nerazzurri have four victories in all, the other two coming against FC Spartak Moskva, 1-0 in the 2006/07 group stage and 2-1 in the 1997/98 UEFA Cup semi-final second leg to complete a 4-2 aggregate success.
• Inter, competing in the tournament for the 11th time, have qualified for the knockout rounds in eight of the last nine years. Last season they failed in their quest to become the first UEFA Champions League winners to successfully defend their crown, going out in the quarter-finals to FC Schalke 04, losing 5-2 at home and 2-1 in Germany.
• In the round of 16 they suffered a 1-0 home first-leg defeat by FC Bayern München before rescuing the tie with a 3-2 away win. On their travels in the group stage the Italian club lost 3-1 at Tottenham Hotspur FC and 3-0 against SV Werder Bremen having first drawn 2-2 with FC Twente.
Team ties
• Keisuke Honda and Yuto Nagatomo are team-mates in the Japan national team.
• Chidi Odiah and Joel Obi play alongside each other with Nigeria.
• Zoran Tošić and Dejan Stanković are team-mates with Serbia.
• Vágner Love plays for Brazil together with Júlio César, Lúcio and Maicon.
• Wesley Sneijder was on the losing side against Igor Akinfeev and Sergei Ignashevich when Russia beat the Netherlands 3-1 in the UEFA EURO 2008 quarter-finals.

Many of you know that I have been associated with Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine for 33 years. Among my duties for many years was compiling the annual high school recruiting Super Team. In that capacity, I became acquainted in the late 1980s with Allen Wallace, the publisher of SuperPrep magazine, which covered recruiting nationally in the pre-Internet age.
I wrote for Allen for several years before throwing in the towel on recruiting prognostications. Truth be told, the cases in which I overestimated a player became so vexing that they overwhelmed the occasions when I guessed right on a prospect. Still, I continued as a subscriber and annually consulted Allen's opinions on which colleges signed the top classes each year.
This week, I received a letter that Allen was ceasing publication of SuperPrep after 28 years, based on, as he said, "the regrettable but indisputable conclusion that ever-declining subscribership prevents publication."
Wallace had in recent years aligned himself with Scout.com, which along with Rivals and 247 have taken the lion's share of business in the Internet age. Still, he hung on through 82 editions of SuperPrep (I have 76 of them in my bookcase), and it's disappointing to hear that this summer's preview edition will be the last. Please join me in wishing him well. Funny thing: I must have talked with Allen a hundred times over the years by phone but never met him in person.

Applying to Law School > Law School Admissions
Tier 1, 2, 3 ...
I think I am a little alarmed . . .after doing some research and talking to a few people, it seems that a student who graduates from a Tier 1 school will find a job. It also seems that a student who graduates from a Tier 2 school will find a job. Now, what about those students who graduate from schools below Tier 2? Can they find jobs?
Because of logistics and my ugpa (I have yet to take the lsat), I will be applying to Tier 3 and 4 schools. Should I let this stop me?
Any and all input/replies are appreciated. Thanks.
The statistics as to how many graduates are employed after graduation are available. Check out a local bookstore, you'll find them.
I've noticed that employment prospects look pretty good for almost any "Tier" school. The difference is in the average starting salaries.
You probably won't be unemployed if you're employable.
Upon graduation from law school and finding a job, work hard. Very hard.

Texas Auto Insurance
The United States driving laws require all drivers to be financially responsible. Some states do not specifically require automobile insurance as a form of financial responsibility. These states will accept another form of proof of financial responsibility. However, Texas is one of the states that require insurance coverage. Driving without insurance or with insufficient coverage can result in fines, a suspended license or jail time. It's not worth the risk to break the law. Many states only require liability coverage. Other states require additional coverage that increases the cost of the policy but provides the insured with greater protections. Some of these additional requirements include:
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Even with laws requiring insurance coverage, there are still drivers on the roads without coverage or with inadequate coverage. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage (UM/UIM) protects the insured if they have an accident with someone who does not have enough financial resources to be held responsible for the costs associated with the accident. Texas does not require licensed drivers to carry UM/UIM. It does require insurance companies to offer the coverage. The insured must decline the coverage in writing if it is rejected as proof that the coverage was offered.
No-Fault Auto Insurance and PIP in Texas
Some states have no-fault laws that make it possible for individuals to be held accountable for their own damages in an accident but not for any other damages. In other states, at least one party will be held accountable for all damages resulting from an accident. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is coverage offered in no-fault states because will pay for the damages suffered by the insured when an accident is judged to be a "no-fault" accident. Insurance companies in Texas must include PIP in their policies or offer it as an additional coverage. If the insured declines coverage, it must be done in writing as proof that the coverage was offered.
Hands-Free Laws in Texas
Distracted driving has become a crime in many states. This is the result of wide spread cell phone use. Accidents caused by distracted driving can be deadly. Manufacturers have helped reduce distracted driving by installing blue-tooth devices for hands-free cell phone use. Unfortunately, there are still many drivers that text and drive or talk on the phone while driving. Many states have responded to this by enacting "hands-free" laws. The hands-free laws in Texas are as follows:
Highway Safety Laws
|No Cell Phone Ban (Handheld)
|School bus drivers w/passengers <17; novice drivers w/ Intermediate License, or within 1st 12 months of driving
|No Text Messaging Ban
|School bus drivers w/passengers <17; novice drivers w/ Intermediate License, or within 1st 12 months of driving
Affordable car insurance can be difficult to find. Know the laws to find out how much insurance is required. Keep in mind that the minimum requirements may not be enough to cover the costs of an accident. Use the quote generator below to compare costs of minimum coverage and then to see if you can afford more coverage.

Yvonne's new home
Yvonne wrote us recently to share with us her new home. She moved a few weeks ago and has a limited budget, but I think she's off to a great start. Her home has amazing features like the high ceilings and the original hardwood floors.
Yvonne did have a design question for us: "Even if I like my cream-colored bedroom, I think now and then it could use some color (with pillows or pillowcases, candles, flowers...). I thought of a dark purple, what colors would you suggest?". I love the idea of a dark purple, to add a touch of drama. You can pretty much do anything - a dark colour for drama, a bright colour for some life, a pale colour for some softness. I've found some photos of all white or cream bedrooms that have a touch of colour to help Yvonne decide.

Dubai, UAE: The World Health Organization's (WHO) Blood Transfusion Safety programme in the Department for Health Systems Policies and Workforce, WHO headquarters (WHO/BTS), has convened the WHO Global Consultation on Haemovigilance in Dubai.
The three-day event is being held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler's Representative in the Western Region at Meydan Hotel and attracted senior officials from the Ministry of Health, Red Crescent Authority (RCA), the Higher National Committee for Blood Transfusion and other departments.
In his speech which was read out by acting undersecretary of the ministry of health Dr. Salim Abdul Rehman Al-Darmaki, the Acting Minister of Health Abdul Rehman Al Owais emphasized the UAE's efforts to promote blood transfusion safety under directives from President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Their Highnesses, the Supreme Council members and Ruler of the emirates to maintain the UAE's leadership in this field.
This consultation is being jointly organized by WHO-HQ/Geneva, Sharjah Blood Transfusion and Research Center and the Government of the United Arab Emirates in collaboration with the International Haemovigilance Network and the International Society of Blood Transfusion.
This Global Consultation on Haemovigilance involved participants from developing and developed countries, including those with established systems (different models of haemovigilance systems will be highlighted) and those with plans to start haemovigilance.
A total of around 150 participants were invited to the consultation from over 50 countries representing all regions of WHO. The participants include senior policy makers from ministries of health, and representatives from key institutions, agencies and stakeholders in establishing haemovigilance systems – at national, regional or hospital level, e.g. blood services, public health institutions, hospitals, regulatory agencies and professional bodies.
Partners from key intergovernmental and international organizations working in the area of haemovigilance will also be invited, including the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines and HealthCare-Council of Europe, European Commission, United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-PEPFAR, Africa Society for Blood Transfusion, AABB, Asia Pacific Blood Network, Arab Society of Blood Transfusion Services, South Asian Association of Transfusion Medicine and Latin American Association of Transfusion Medicine.
The methodology of the consultation will include presentations, group discussions, and the identification of priorities for action and recommendations to different stakeholders. Broadly, three groups will be constituted for discussion on: 1) strategies for setting up or strengthening national haemovigilance systems based on appropriate models; 2) global mechanism/s for networking countries and organizations for sharing of data, information and experiences on haemovigilance; and 3) a standardized definition and tools for global haemovigilance reporting.
WHO Global Consultation on Haemovigilance aims to highlight the importance of national haemovigilance systems and international networking for global blood safety and availability; assess the nature and magnitude of current challenges and barriers to the implementation of haemovigilance systems, particularly in developing countries; provide a platform for countries to share experiences and learn lessons for developing national haemovigilance systems in a stepwise manner; define strategies for developing haemovigilance systems, including the harmonized reporting of transfusion-related adverse reactions and events, the collection, analysis and use of national data for continuous learning and improvement in the safety of blood donors, blood products and patients; build on existing international networks, discuss creation of global mechanism/s for networking countries and organizations to share data, information and experiences on haemovigilance; advocate and support the establishment of national haemovigilance, systems; harmonize global data collection as well as to organize joint activities and function as a forum for dialogue, advice and information gathering for all key stakeholders.

Today Is The First Day Of The Rest Of My LifeSeriously, today is the first day of the rest of my life. I have decided today to get sober. I have drank alchohol almost everyday for about 30 years. Since I am 58 that makes for some serious drinking. My mother died from alcoholism and my grandfather was an alcoholic. My brother is an alcoholic and homeless somewhere in the world. For all I know he may be dead. So Alcoholism definitely runs in my family. Yesterday I drank 2 Pints of Tequila. Today I am not feeling well. I am sober but I am nauseated, shaky, dizzy and my liver feels sore. But I am not going to drink. I know that Alcohol will eventually kill me if I do not stop. So here I sit. Sipping ice tea and leaving this blog. I do not drive because I wrecked my car while I was drunk and was arrested. That fiasco cost me close to $9,0000! But did I stop drinking? NO! That was in 2008. In fact, I drank more after the accident. I was a smoker and I quit smoking. Stopping smoking was easier than this is going to be I think. But dang it, I am going to give it a shot. I am definitely going to need help and support. A friend from my church is going to go to AA meetings with me on Mondays after our bible study. Being a drunk and being a christian just is not an option. So I have decided to keep God and dump Alcohol because I realized I was worshiping Alcohol way more than I was worshiping God. So here I am. Wish me luck and a prayer won't hurt. Thank you.
"How can you who are so holy suffer? All your past except it's beauty is gone and nothing is left but a blessing I have saved all your kindnesses and every loving thought you ever had. I have purified them of the errors that hid their light and kept them in their own perfect radiance" ~ A Course In Miracles
So few see past relationships for what they truly are and build up defenses which only attract more of the same over and over again with monotonous regularity. Many look at what they gave in past relationships once the form changed or the relationship seemed to end all that you gave to that relationship.
This is yet another lie of the ego with one of it's ways to steal all the joy you could be experiencing.
The Truth is that ALL that you gave in any relationship was given to yourself and you take every bit of it wherever you go for all eternity.
No kind, loving expression was ever wasted no matter what the outcome.
However, you do have free will and are perfectly able to feel deprived and improvised if you see it that way.
You may feel that you wasted years of your life or gave gifts where they were not appreciated or received well.
This is your ego story and has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the Truth.
In Truth...
The more you give the more you accrue.
Suppose your parents opened up a bank account for you when you were born and made weekly deposits for you for years till now but you didn't know about it.
You could think of yourself as impoverished or lacking. You can tell the story of your poverty as fact and believe every word of it and therefore be totally at the effect of that story.
You could die a millionaire in a shack with dirt floors never knowing what was available to you all along.
In actuality, you have an Emotional Bank Account in which you have been making deposits of love, kindness, tenderness, affection, approval, appreciation, and all kinds of emotional currency.
Every smile you ever gave to another was a deposit into the account. with the God/Christ Consciousness purified from all the false attachments and any fear that cling to them.
You never lose by giving love for every bit of it stays with you for time and all eternity.
No one has ever made a fool of you; no one has ever taken advantage of you because what is given can never be lost.
I'll pray for you, welcome to recovery.
From one alcoholic Christian to another, you can quit and began to enjoy the life God wants to give you-after completely hitting rock bottom by getting drunk in front of my children & 6 grandchildren this past Thanksgiving,I quit. I promise you that He is faithful & wants you to breath & live the life He has for you through a sober mind. I have been drinking heavily for about 15 years(even lost a fantastic job working at my church), but wouldn't give it up. He promises to turn our ashes into beauty if we ask Him to-please allow Jesus Christ to restore you. Praying for you.

Although they're the experts, Amy, Julia and Emily are the ones who need help when it comes to love.
Dear Amy, Julia and Emily:
In last night's Miss Advised episode titled "What's Your Type?" the three of you were finally starting to learn more about yourselves when it comes to the relationships you acquire and maintain. However, as viewers who were rooting for you, we think that it would be an understatement to say that you've all been deeply "misadvised" when it comes to your own love lives! As a love and relationship site dedicated to living your best love life, we have taken it upon ourselves to share some of our wisdom based on what the show has depicted so far:
Amy: In last night's episode, you went on a blind date that did not go too well. Although, you thought that your date, Tim, was not your type, perhaps, we should point out what you did wrong. You need to learn when to wear your matchmaking hat and when to take it off — on with clients and off on dates. Stop being so desperate and such a hypocrite and start following the advice you give your clients.
Julia: Where do we even begin? Last night you invited love coach Annie Lalla over to help you "channel your inner self." And, while we think you should keep her around, it's important for you to realize that no one will ever love you until you love yourself. Stop trying to be a modern-day Carrie Bradshaw and start being Julia Allison! You're physically and emotionally too aggressive. Your need for attention is taking a toll on your personal life.
More love advice from YourTango:

2nd Anniversary and Chocolate Coins
Today is officially the second anniversary of my blog, and a celebration of another year of big changes. Welcome to my "new home" at Nourish the Budding Lotus. Many changes came about in 2010, and as a way to step forward with those changes, I have decided to move my blog and integrate it with my new career in therapeutic bodywork and energywork.
As some of you already know, I completed a massage certification at New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts in 2010 and am now venturing into my new career as a bodyworker in addition to maintaining my design business. I am very excited to see how this new direction will incorporate and enrich my life and look forward to sharing it all here on this blog.
As you will see, I have updated the design of the site, and I will continue to implement more user-friendly features very soon. Be sure to update your RSS subscriptions as well, so that you don't miss a new recipe or story!
And, as all anniversaries should be celebrated…I have included chocolates! I have been making these delicious chocolate coins for a few years now, and thought this would be a perfect occasion to share them with you. They are super easy to make but look oh-so-special displayed at a special event. So, happy anniversary to you all, and thanks for making this blog so much fun!

What does myopia mean?
Definitions for myopiamaɪˈoʊ pi ə
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word myopia.
Princeton's WordNet
myopia, nearsightedness, shortsightedness(noun)
(ophthalmology) eyesight abnormality resulting from the eye's faulty refractive ability; distant objects appear blurred
A disorder of the vision where distant objects appear blurred because the eye focuses their images in front of the retina instead of on it.
A lack of imagination, discernment or long-range perspective in thinking or planning.
Origin: From μυωπία, from μύειν + ὤψ.
Webster Dictionary
nearsightedness; shortsightedness; a condition of the eye in which the rays from distant object are brought to a focus before they reach the retina, and hence form an indistinct image; while the rays from very near objects are normally converged so as to produce a distinct image. It is corrected by the use of a concave lens
Origin: [NL. See Myope.]
Myopia, commonly known as being nearsighted and shortsighted, is a condition of the eye where the light that comes in does not directly focus on the retina but in front of it. This causes the image that one sees when looking at a distant object to be out of focus, but in focus when looking at a close object. Eye care professionals most commonly correct myopia through the use of corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses. It may also be corrected by refractive surgery, though there are cases of associated side effects. The corrective lenses have a negative optical power which compensates for the excessive positive diopters of the myopic eye.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
mī-ō′pi-a, n. shortness or nearness of sight.—adj. Myop′ic.—ns. My′ops, My′ope, a short-sighted person. [Gr.,—myein, to close, ōps, the eye.]
U.S. National Library of Medicine
A refractive error in which rays of light entering the EYE parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus in front of the RETINA when accommodation (ACCOMMODATION, OCULAR) is relaxed. This results from an overly curved CORNEA or from the eyeball being too long from front to back. It is also called nearsightedness.

China has among the highest rates of myopia and it's the only country in the world that does eye exercises, so it's probably not working all that well.
It's a potential way to increase the amount of light, in hopes of preventing myopia and allow kids to continue (their) education without inconvenience for them.
It's important to keep in mind that this type of study can never pin-point the precise causes of myopia in the way that is possible using purpose-designed clinical trials, nevertheless, the risk factors that were identified in the new study fit neatly with what has been learned in recent years from such trials.

An Aussie police computer has been ordering the arrest of kids, aboriginals and other ethnic minorities.
Musa Konneh was arrested, handcuffed, strip searched and spent a night in the police cells after the police computer system said that he had breached his bail conditions by not reporting to police.
Konneh had been on bail for the terrible crime of riding on the train without a ticket but the case had been chucked out of the Children's Court four days earlier. The court knew this but the copper's computer system failed, again.
Now, according to AP, a class action has been filed in the Supreme Court against the NSW government over this and other arrests which came at the inspiration of the dodgy computer system.
The Public Interest Advocacy Centre and the law firm Maurice Blackburn is asking that other young people banged up for a breach of bail conditions to sign up to the class action.
Its case is that the cops were insane to arrest people when their COPS database was about as accurate as Macworld covering a security flaw in an iPhone.
There had been problems with COPS for years, and Blackburn's NSW managing principal, Ben Slade thinks that there could have been more than 200 kids falsely arrested in similar conditions.
So far 22 people had been paid $2.7 million in compensation for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment because of the computer problem.
However there is something else connected to the arrests – apparently there were a lot more demands for the arrests of children and Aboriginals. Konneh was from Sierra Leone. It looks like the computer might have been programmed to be racist.

Anthony Russo, the supervisory senior resident agent for Augusta's FBI office, said not only has the number of mortgage fraud investigations increased but so have the dollar amounts of the scams.
The FBI has 1,416 open mortgage fraud investigations across the country, Agent Russo said. In half, the losses top $1 million, he said.
In comparison, five years ago, the FBI had only 400 mortgage fraud investigations, he said.
On Friday, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported that the number of U.S. homeowners in danger of foreclosure rose to a record high in the second quarter of 2008. According to the association, more than 4 million homeowners, 9 percent of all mortgage holders, were behind on their payments or in foreclosure at the end of June.
The rate of foreclosure proceedings also increased again. Almost half a million homeowners were in foreclosure in the second quarter of the year, the association said.
The rise in foreclosures is bringing out criminals, Agent Russo said. The FBI has 160 agents assigned full time to mortgage fraud cases.
One of the scams investigators see most often is called foreclosure rescue, Agent Russo said.
In this scam, a person convinces a homeowner facing foreclosure that the home can be saved by signing over the title. Once the scam artist has the title, he can take out a line of credit for himself.
It's possible such a promise could be legitimate, but it's doubtful, Agent Russo said.
In another scam, someone gets a homeowner desperate to sell his home to give the bottom price he will accept. Then, with the help of a fraudulent appraisal, the person sells the home for an inflated price, keeping the difference.
The homeowner and the buyer might never know, Agent Russo said, but if the buyer defaults and the mortgage lender forecloses, the lender cannot recoup the value of the loan because the property is not worth the value of the mortgage.
Another variation is a straw purchase. Someone obtains a mortgage using false identification with the intent of defaulting on the loan. Once the property is sold on the courthouse steps, the criminal can buy the property from the lender at a reduced price.
Another scam is driven by a crooked home builder who offers to sell a house at an inflated price and waive the down payment. The mortgage lender is cheated into believing, for example, that it is making a $200,000 loan for a $240,000 house, Agent Russo said. The lender is misled into believing there is $40,000 equity.
There's also what's called flipping, which is done with the aid of a fraudulently inflated appraisal. A property is bought and quickly sold at a higher price without any substantial improvement to the property, Agent Russo said.
The biggest scam right now is in mortgage rescue, he said.
People need to be cautious not to get drawn into a mortgage fraud scheme because those who enable others to carry out scams are considered just as guilty, Agent Russo said.
Several people have been prosecuted for mortgage fraud in Augusta, including attorney William O. Key Jr., who is serving a 14-month prison sentence. Agent Russo declined to say how many mortgage fraud cases are being investigated by the local office.

AFI Movie Report
Two Lovers
By Deidra Burton
Known for his crime infested thrillers, James Gray takes a new approach in directing a modern Brooklyn-based romance drama, starring Joaquin Phoenix (villain of the film, Gladiator) as Leonard, who plays a bipolar loner who falls for his lovely-yet wishy-washy manipulating neighbor, Michelle (Gwyneth Paltrow).
Gray narrates a New York tale of love, greed, and family loyalty as viewers watch love's complications take their toll on a simple man faced with splitting decisions.
Audiences should find familiarity in the pragmatic illustration of characters. The plot develops a sorrowfulness for Leonard as he suffers through depression and suicidal modes on bipolar medications. A middle aged man who lives at home, once longing for his long lost runaway fiance, transitions into a passionate lover of two women.
His girlfriend is a longtime family friend named Sandra played by Vinessa Shaw (best known for her 2006 role in The Hills Have Eyes ), who is initially attracted to him. Simultaneously, Leonard wishes to become the successor of an unstable relationship Michelle has with her married boyfriend. While Leonard facades his half of the happy relationship with Sandra, the more level and less obtrusive of females in the love triangle, Leonard persists bending over backward for in response to Michelle's every call for help. In fact, failing to recognize Michelle's manipulation, Leonard is willing to postpone his evolving career in the family business, a beautiful girlfriend, and family for a lucky brush with a blond bombshell. All is close to lost on an uncertain discussion, sparked by careless spontaneity.
Phoenix, a Golden Globe Award winning actor and writer/ director, Gray, are no strangers to working with each other in film. Two Lovers is a third collaboration for the Jewish duo. It began in 2000 with The Yards, where Phoenix posed as best friend to an ex-con, played by Mark Wahlberg who rejoined forces with Phoenix and director, James Gray, for last year's We Own the Night.
AFI is a national institute providing leadership in screen education and the recognition and celebration of excellence in the art of film, television and digital media. Celebrating its 22nd year as a program of the American Film Institute, kicking off the awards season each year, AFI FEST offers a crucial avenue of exposure to the entertainment community, while providing appreciative audiences with a festive atmosphere and the very best of world film, right in the center of the film capital of the world.
The Tale of Despereaux: No Ordinary Tail
By Deidra Burton
Does a long anticipated, articulate, trailblazing pioneer with sizable ears, destined for change sound familiar? Leave politics out of this, please! Universal's new animated film in theaters, December 19th is no ordinary tale of a mouse named Despereaux (voiced by Matthew Broderick).
Refusing to cower, a mouse emerges from the pressures of a panic-stricken world at birth to see through the cloud of conformity with big brown eyes and hear the fretful noise of conditioning with furry oversized ears. Obstacles turn out to be Despereaux's advantage over the other mice and rats, one whom he once befriended, named Roscuro, voiced by Dustin Hoffman. After an annual soup celebration gone wrong, a longing princess (Emma Watson of the Harry Potter sequels) is in need of a friend to be her lantern during a dark spell, the kingdom of Dor fell under since the tragedy of The Queen.
The original novel, "The Tales of Despereaux" was authored by Minneapolis writer, Kate DiCamillo. After publishing her third children's book in 2003, she won the Newberry Medal in 2004 (the highest award in children's literature). DiCamillo is noted for her debut children's novel, "Because of Winn-Dixie" (2005).
A Cartoon Respectful to Kids?
Sigourney Weaver narrates the cold, hard truth about the many cautions of sustaining individuality. Weaver opened up to the press about concerns about her narrative tone of voice and alarming dialogue."I will always be with them, take care of them, and get them back to the light," said Weaver about the sometimes frightening themes of the film.
Cast and crew are confident that children will understand the symbols of integrity in the film. Every actor prepared for their animated character by taking their roles seriously and left behind all jovial spirits applicable to past animated projects. Many of the actors in the film had prior voiceover experience. Dustin Hoffman was heard in the animated film Kung Fu Panda and Sigourney Weaver in Wall-E. When questioned at a Los Angeles press conference about the dark tone of the film, 18 year old Emma Watson (Princess Pea) suggests that the many messages get through to kids "without insulting their intelligence."
Previews and billboards, this month, have portrayed the film to be a family fun filled adventure in 3D. Before you cram the minivan, viewers, be sure to have filled up on enchanting fairy tale bliss. Then check your humor at the door. Sit back, relax, and get ready for a tall, glass of thick bureaucratic satire.
Moviegoers have said that it should be left to parents to teach kids about the fundamentals of society. Animated movies have always supplied at least an hour and a half of magical euphoria for kids to enjoy while mom or dad catches some shut eye.
"We were aiming for a classic", said producer and screenplay, Gary Ross, whose 2003 movie, Seabiscuit, received seven Academy Award nominations. With chefs and rat oppression in common, will The Tale of Despereaux stand a chance for an award or will Ratatouille remain the top rodent pick of all time?
Last year Ratatoiulle won an Oscar, Grammy, and Golden Globe. What is predictable is if the little ones were blown away by the motion effects of Stuart Little, another lovable animated mouse, then the full blown visuals on every frame in T.O.D will wow them. Otherwise, help the kids out by avoiding another snooze.
Perhaps staying home with popcorn, viewing a home DVD of The Mouse Detective would be fun and safe from the horrific tales of discriminated mice.
Who would dare stop a beautiful actress with a keen business sense and smarts to boot? No one and nothing, yet, for Misha Harris. A canny USC graduate with Real Estate chops from Los Angeles, Misha caught the acting bug and has since been off and running. Harris plays the diva role in her latest theater production, The Old Settler. Harris shares her journey to the Hollywood scene and how she determines her own fate in the industry.
What led to your involvement in the theater productions at the Beverly Hills Playhouse?
Well I actually have been studying at The Beverly Hills playhouse since 1999, so I was aware that maybe someday I could be involved in the theater arm if I really honed in on my craft and if the opportunity presented itself. The Old Settler originally started to develop when a couple of actors and I began to take scenes from the play and perform them in class. We would get critiqued by our acting teacher, make changes and adjustments and one day decided it would be great if we could take this to Camelot Artists and put up the first Camelot play that would be fully cast and directed by African Americans.
When did you know you wanted to be an actress?
I had been involved in a successful commercial real estate career and got tired of the whole corporate scene. I wanted to do something more creative with my life. Before I started acting I attended Culinary School at UCLA because I love to cook but at that time I didn't want to make a career out of it. One day I was chatting with a close friend of mine and former Beverly Hills Playhouse student that knew I harbored a creative side and encouraged me to pursue acting classes. Being raised in LA all my life, I was a bit reluctant to pursue the Hollywood scene…but he insisted and said to just try it out. So I enrolled in Beverly Hills Playhouse and I've never looked back. Everything started happening very quickly; I started doing background work, and since I had already professionally modeled in high school and college I was already familiar with "auditioning", going on calls, and having an agent. I quickly joined SAG and AFTRA and not long after that I booked my first recurring role in "Fashion House" and soon after that another recurring in "Watch Over Me"
What was your previous occupation?
After graduating from USC in Social Science/Economics, I went into real estate. First I sold houses and then I started working as a receptionist for a Commercial Management Firm. I worked my way up being an Assistant Property Manager to Director of Operations at USA Networks.
You have come a long way in drama. Describe how you feel about the transition from business professional to actress?
Well now instead of real estate being my business, acting is my business. I think if you have a business mind to start off with, you can treat your acting as a business also. I feel I have gotten much further at a faster pace by being professional and treating my goals in acting the same way I treated my goals in commercial real estate. It ain't called show business for nothing!
Do you enjoy playing the diva or are there opposite roles that you feel more comfortable with?
I love playing diva roles! I think they are so much fun! The important thing to remember about playing divas is that you have to show their vulnerability. Divas, like everyone else, have sides to them that they are ashamed of or not confident about, and the diva attitude is sometimes a cover for that which I find very interesting. I would love to play opposite of that also. I think I just love playing characters! It's almost a lesson in psychology when you study a specific person and what has brought them to the place there are now in their lives. It's also fun sometimes to not be Misha Harris and be someone totally different!
Do you know anyone like your character in The Old Settler, Lou Bessie?
I think everyone has a little Lou Bessie in them. Lou Bessie just isn't a diva but is someone who had a difficult time in their life and is determined to overcome that and be successful; however success is defined for that person. I have a lot of Lou Bessie in me and I'm sure if some of your readers treat themselves and go see the play they can find a little Lou Bessie in them if they are completely honest with themselves.
Are there any future projects we can expect from you in the near future?
This Spring I will be hosting an episode of "Get out, Way Out" on HGTV, and continue to be involved in projects that are fun and help me grow as an individual, not just as an actress. I'm planning on being involved in more film and television roles and if a great play pops into my life…I'm in!!

Buyers's guide to housewraps & vapor or moisture or rain barrier products:
This article describes choices and properties of moisture barrier or housewrap products. Page top photo: DuPont Tyvek HomeWrap® house wrap is shown during the removal of a problematic fiber cement siding installation, courtesy Galow Homes.
This article series discusses best practices construction details for building exteriors, including water and air barriers, building flashing products & installation, wood siding material choices & installation, vinyl siding, stucco exteriors, building trim, exterior caulks and sealants, exterior building adhesives, and choices and application of exterior finishes on buildings: paints, stains.

This article series includes excerpts or adaptations from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, by Steven Bliss, courtesy of Wiley & Sons.
Installed carefully, any of the sheathing wraps can perform well and keep water out of walls.
The three main choices are traditional asphalt felt, Grade D building paper, and the newer plastic housewraps. The optimal product will depend upon the siding choice, building details, and climate.
With any sheathing wrap material, however, the key to good performance is to carefully lap the material to shed water.
This job has been made easier by the introduction of a number of peel-and-stick membranes for use around windows, doors, and other trouble spots. General performance characteristics of sheathing wraps are summarized in Table 1-1 below.
Asphalt roofing felt, has a perm rating of around 5 and moderately good water resistance, making it suitable for use as a sheathing wrap. However, unlike plastic housewraps, asphalt felt will absorb water when wet.
Once wet, its permeability jumps from around 5 to as high as 60. In the event of water leaking into the wall, asphalt felt may help store some of the water, and its high permeability when wet will promote drying to the exterior. Housewrap, in contrast, tends to trap any liquid water that gets behind it.
Some contractors find felt easier to install and weave into flashings because of its rigidity and narrow roll width.
Felt, however, tends to get brittle and deteriorate under long-term exposure to UV radiation [not that there is much UV radiation exposure of felt when it is located underneath building siding-DF] and is more prone to tear during installation than plastic housewraps. For situations where prolonged exposure is expected, plastic housewraps are better suited. Otherwise, asphalt building felt remains a valid choice for modern homes.
Although traditional 15-pound rag felt weighed 15 pounds per 100 square feet, the material sold today as No. 15 felt is made of recycled cardboard and sawdust and actually weighs only 7 to 8 pounds per square. Most of the lightweight building paper sold has no ASTM rating.
ASTM-rated No. 15 felt is either a minimum of 7.6 pounds per square (ASTM D4689) or 11.5 pounds per square (ASTM D226). Similarly, the unrated variety of No. 30 felt typically weighs only 15 to 20 pounds per square versus 26 to 27 pounds for rated Type 2 felt (ASTM D226).
Grade D building paper is an asphalt-impregnated kraft-type paper, similar to the backing on fiberglass insulation. Unlike asphalt felt, it is made from new wood pulp, rather than recycled material. Its most common use is under stucco in the western United States.
The vapor permeance of Grade D paper is similar to asphalt felt. Its liquid water resistance ratings range from 20 to 60 minutes, as measured by using the boat test (see Water Resistance in "WATER RESISTIVE BARRIERS ON BUILDING EXTERIOR WALLS").
Because Grade D paper tends to deteriorate under prolonged wetting, the trend in three-coat stucco is to use two layers of 30-minute paper. Because the paper tends to wrinkle, the two layers tend to form a small air space, creating a rain-screen effect.
There are a wide range of plastic housewraps on the market. Most are nonwoven fabrics made from either polyethylene or polypropylene.
Some synethetic house wrap products have perforations to let water vapor pass through and the others are designed to let water vapor diffuse through the fabric itself.
Photo at left: two brands of housewrap (DuPont Tyvek HomeWrap® and Owens Corning PinkWrap®) are exposed during the removal of a failed fiber cement siding installation job. Photo provided courtesy of the repair contractor, Galow Homes [4].
Because there is no single testing standard for plastic housewrap performance, it is difficult to make apples-to-apples comparisons. However, published performance data and limited field studies suggest the following:
The table below, excerpted from Kaellner (2006) cited above and at REFERENCES, lists 27 housewrap products, giving manufacturer, air retarder rating, air leakage rates, water vaper permeance or perm rating, structural integrity, UV exposure rating, thickness, and flame/smoke classification for these products (listed in order of lowest to highest Perm rating: Vorted / Weather Trek, Rufco-wrap, FirstWrap, Weathermate Plus, Dri-Shield, Weathermate / Air-Gard, Prime Wrap, Barricade Building Wrap, GreenGuard RainDrop, Typar, PinkWrap, GreenGuard Classic Wrap, ProWrap, Tyvek ComemrcialWrap, GreenGuard Ultra Wrap, WrapShield,Tyvek StuccoWrap / DrainWrap, Tyvek HomeWrap, R-Wrap, Two-Ply Super Jumbo Tex 60 Minute, Super Jumbo 60 Minute, Fortify, Two-Ply Jumbo Tex, Two-Ply Jumbo Tex HD 30 Minute, Jumbo Tex HD 30 Minute, Jumbo Tex.

In the last few years, manufacturers have responded to the need for an air space and drainage plane with a variety of housewrap products that are either wrinkled or corrugated to provide an integrated air space. These include products intended primarily for stucco, such as DuPont's StuccoWrap®, and others developed for siding, such as Raindrop Housewrap, which is a plastic drainage mat from Pactiv, Inc. (see "Resources," page 47).
The air space created by these products is minimal, ranging from 0.02 inch thick for StuccoWrap to 0.008 for RainDrop®. Although these materials may allow for some drainage, it is unlikely that they will provide any measurable airflow to promote drying.
A more promising approach is a 1/4-inch nylon matrix, called HomeSlicker®, which has vertical drainage channels and installs between the sheathing wrap and siding. The material is rigid and thick enough to resist compression by the siding but thin enough that windows, doors, and trim can be installed without furring.

How was your experience?
Excellent storytelling and music! I loved it! My only suggestion would be that the box office be aware that valet parking is required. We called ahead and they told us to park across the street but that parking facility told us to valet. It wasn't a big problem and I would see this play again!

For those who haven't read Homer's epic in a while, the Odyssey depicts Odysseus' ten year journey to return to Ithaca after the end of the Trojan War. About everything that can go wrong does go wrong on his voyage, including shipwrecks, run-ins with Cyclopes and Sirens, enslavements by a sorceress and a jealous nymph, and a really bad decision involving a bag of winds. So, using the Odyssey as an analogy, here's the tale of my own journey.
The First Draft – This was my siege of Troy. It took forever and had its ups and downs, but ultimately ended in triumph. I had finished the first draft of my first novel! I celebrated with a bottle of Chateau de Beaucastle. Life was good. All I needed to do was finish another draft or two and I'd be home free, right? Yep, bet that's what Odysseus thought too.
|First Draft Triumph!
|Defeating the Cyclops Seemed a Breeze!
|Curse that Bag of Wind!
The Fourth Draft – Here's where I had to trim it down. Big time. It was excruciating. I ended up rewriting the first 100 pages from scratch to front-load some conflict and introduce my antagonist earlier. And I had to make some painful cuts. I had reached the straights of Scylla and Charybdis, and whichever path I chose, a whole lot of story was going to die. Though scathed, I came through it after killing a whole lot of my darlings. The novel was 22,000 words shorter, and it was tighter.
|Scylla or Charybdis?
|Tie Yourself to the Mast and Press On!
|Ithaca Looks Close!

Lodging Near Lassen Volcanic National Park in California
Summer is the most hospitable season at Lassen Peak and vicinity, with its alpine scenery and wildflowers; in winter, the park is insulated by 400 to 700 inches of snow. Sightseeing and active recreation are main attractions year-round, but in summer the entire park is accessible. Accommodations within the park include reservable and first-come campsites. Private campgrounds and cabin lodgings are also available on the north side of the park. In addition to historic Drakesbad Guest Ranch, within the park itself, you'll find several other types of accommodations nearby.
Antlers Motel
The small lumber town of Chester, on the south side of Lassen Park near the shores of Lake Almanor, is the best supply stop for many miles around. In addition to several good restaurants, Chester's high points include Bodfish Bicycles and Ayoob Department Store, the latter a classic in the general store genre--your one-stop shopping destination when you need new socks, cowboy boots, cookware, gas canisters for your cook stove or a waterproof tarp. New in 2008, Chester's inviting Antlers Motel offers the motel basics but does it well, from the woodsy ambience and helpful proprietors to very clean bathrooms, flat-screen TVs with satellite, free Wi-Fi, in-room refrigerators and full-size coffee makers. Right across the street is the Holiday Market, where you can stop for picnic and first aid supplies. As of 2010, regular rates are $53 to $78 in summer and slightly lower in winter. Pets are welcome, with a deposit. Antlers Motel 268 Main St. Chester, CA 96020 530-258-2722 antlersmotel.com
Bidwell House
This very inviting inn was once the summer home of an illustrious gold rush-era couple. Wisely seeking to escape the Sacramento Valley's summer heat, John and Annie Bidwell of Chico established their retreat--originally a tent--in the open mountain meadow near the Feather River, much of it now inundated by Lake Almanor. The Bidwell House was later moved to its present location at the eastern edge of Chester, where it became headquarters for the Stover-McKenzie Cattle Company. Since 1991 it has been a comfortable, welcoming bed and breakfast offering 14 distinctively decorated rooms and suites. Organic coffee or tea is served in your room in the morning, and a full gourmet breakfast is available. As of 2010, regular rates are $85 to $165, but discounts and specials can reduce prices substantially. Bidwell House 1 Main St. P.O. Box 1790 Chester, CA 96020 530-258-3338 bidwellhouse.com
Mill Creek Resort
This mom-and-pop cabin resort in the woods is a favorite of locals--the kind of place that takes pride in being "where it's not happening." Clean, homey housekeeping cabins come with bedding, towels, cookware, dishes and eating utensils, plus picnic table and grill outside. No TVs, no phones. Cabins as of 2010 are $80 to $110 per night, and RV and tent campsites are also available. Dogs love it here and especially enjoy taking a swim in Mill Creek. For a big night on the town, grab a locally famous burger and shake at the general store, restaurant and post office. Mill Creek Resort 530-595-4449 888-595-4449 (toll-free) millcreekresort.net
Drakesbad Guest Ranch
A night at Drakesbad Guest Ranch in Lassen Volcanic National Park's Warner Valley may convince (or remind) you of the pleasure of living under kerosene lanterns instead of electric lighting. Making an art of rustic simplicity, historic Drakesbad offers pine-paneled rooms that are basic but quite comfortable, each featuring a private bath or half bath. Visitors who miss a bathtub can soak in the hot springs-heated pool. And basic is good enough, given that the point of being here is to get outside for hiking, horseback riding, fly fishing, canoeing--or volleyball, badminton, ping-pong, horseshoes or family board games. Rates in 2010, including three hearty family-style meals a day, start at $155 per person per day, double occupancy, for adults ($931 weekly) and $85 per day for children ($504 weekly). The regular season is late June to September; slight discounts are offered during brief early and late shoulder seasons. Plan well ahead, because Drakesbad is often booked a year in advance. Drakesbad Guest Ranch Off-season mailing address: 2150 N. Main St., Ste. 5 Red Bluff, CA 96080 866-999-0914 drakesbad.com

Geoff Lawson new GM and VP for Leesburg National Conference Center
Hotel and conference center guru, Geoff Lawson, was named the new general manager and vice president for the National Conference Center and West Belmont Place Event Center on Aug. 26.
Lawson brings copious amounts of experience to the table as general manager, regional manager and vice president of four different hotel chains, the most recent being Pompan Hospitality Inc.
For the past two months, he has served as the interim GM for the National Conference Center, a corporate training facility in Leesburg.
Lawson replaces Kurt Krause, who retired from his post as GM last August to explore other opportunities. Krause had served the center for nearly seven years. He was first named to the position in 2006.
Now Lawson enters the scene to take over.
An active member of the International Association of Conference Centers, Lawson spent eight years on the IACC North American board of directors. Two of those years were spent as president of the IACC board.
With his experience in hotel and conference center management and his time spent as interim GM, Lawson was the logical choice, according to the National Conference Center.
And he brings a well-rounded experience. He has marketed and overseen hotels, conference centers and catering venues.
"There is no one more qualified to provide the leadership and direction needed to take The National Conference Center and the West Belmont Place Event
Center to the next level," said Sam Haigh, president and CEO of LaKota Hotels and Resorts.
Besides Pompan Hospitality Inc., Lawson headed Bristol Hotels, Princess, Hotels and Resorts and Dolce Hotels.
Now he'll bring his skills to manage the National Conference Center, which has 250,000 square feet of meeting and group function space.
The National Conference Center has turned into a central place of planning since its founding.
And West Belmont Place, a catering complex, has become a hub for events in Loudoun and the surrounding areas with its 16,500- square-foot ballroom.
With so much to oversee, Lawson has some big shoes to fill. But those who named him to the post aren't worried.
"Over the past eight weeks, Geoff has demonstrated exceptional ability to guide our highly motivated team, as we renovate and re-energize The National Conference Center and West Belmont Place Event Center," said Haigh.

Sons Of Anarchy Game Resurrected
Back in November 2012, "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter said his efforts to get a video game going were "dead."
However, now it appears the project has been resurrected. According to a new Tweet from Sutter, there will "definitely" be a game based on the popular FX TV series:
"I cannot give you anymore details, but I will tell you that there will definitely be an SOA game. And it's pretty f**king awesome."
Sutter says the currently unannounced and untitled "Sons of Anarchy" game will be a first-person action/adventure game. He's also made some pretty bold claims in the past, which were encouraging. That all being said, we have no idea if this particular project is the same one Sutter tried to get off the ground several years ago, or if it's a completely different idea.
We have no details just yet, so don't ask about targeted platforms or a release date. Let's just hope it turns out well.

Aplio i-series is designed to deliver outstanding clinical precision and departmental productivity. Crystal-clear images with enhanced resolution and penetration as well as an abundance of expert tools help you get your diagnostic answer quickly and reliably.
Aplio i-series' innovative architecture has been engineered to prepare you for the challenges of today, and the future.
Three technologies that work together to cumulatively optimize image quality:
Multi-Sync Pulser:
Advanced technology for beam transmission.
Multi-Beam Receiver:
Enables wide area reception of signals.
Multi-Harmonic Compounding: Provides excellent beam processing power.
With Aplio i-series intelligent Dynamic Microslice (iDMS), the transducer elements are controlled separately to create a thin slice beam with continuous focus from near field to far field.
*Optional on i700iDMS Demo
Aplio's i-series 24 MHz transducer with extended bandwidth and iDMS Dynamic MicroSlice technology provides excellent detail and definition in the near field for a wide range of examinations.
Aplio's ultra-wideband i-series, provides superior sensitivity and resolution for both near and far field. The ability to use one transducer across a wider range of patient types can potentially reduce cost, while providing better imaging regardless of the patient condition.
Especially useful for breast imaging and MSK with the added feature of high-frequency Shear Wave Elastography
The extraordinary powerful multiplexing architecture of the Aplio i-series uses parallel signal processing to handle extreme large volumes of data at high speed.
This opens a new world of possibilities, from comprehensive real-time Quad View for CHI and Shear wave to premium Elastography applications which require fast and independent processing power.
Each of Aplio i-series imaging technologies provide you with improved* image quality by reducing clutter, strengthening signal and improving visualization. All functions work hand in hand with other imaging modes for uniformity across all applications.
SMI is a technology that expands the range of visible blood flow and provides visualization of low microvascular flow never seen before with ultrasound. Compared to conventional Doppler technologies, the advantages of SMI are high frame rates, high resolution, high sensitivity and fewer motion artifacts.
This gives clinicians a new way to reveal minute vessels when evaluating lesions, cysts, inflammatory diseases and tumors. SMI offers an efficient tool for fetal assessment and patient monitoring during treatment phase.
*Available on the Aplio i-series, 500 and 300 Platinum, Xario 200 Platinum
CEUS is capable of providing real time, high-resolution perfusion information and is one of the advanced technologies for differentiation of focal liver lesions. The contrast agents are microbubbles of a few micrometers in diameter and stable enough to circulate in the body with intravenous injection.
*Using FDA-approved contrast agent. Available on the Aplio i-series, 500 and 300 Platinum.
Using this semi-transparent glass effect can help physicians assess different layers of tissue and position of vessels all at the same time. Shadow Glass combined with functional data may help to better understand pathology.
*Available on i-series only
By attaching a magnetic sensor to standard transducer positioning information becomes available. Precise volume rendering and accurate measurements can be performed including distance, angle and volume.
*Available with the Smart Fusion kit on i-series only.
MultiView allows you to work in multiple imaging modes including color Doppler and CEUS. This concise quad display with Fusion shows the live ultrasound image in sync with multiple views of the pre-loaded data.
A wide range of MultiView options* provide high-resolution cross sections, helping you to better understand anatomical relationships or the extent of a given lesion.
*Availability dependent on system
Aplio's i-series iSense design can help boost productivity during daily routine exams as well as more most complex cases. It's smaller and lighter, design makes it easy to maneuver. With over 36 cm panel height adjustment, lateral slide and a fully articulating monitor arm, Aplio i-series helps you to optimally adjust the console to virtually any scanning position.
Aplio's RAW data capability enables you to efficiently scan and acquire images (even on a remote access tablet) and then manipulate multiple image parameters, measurements and annotations later.
The Aplio i-series can adapt to nearly every clinical users situation with the ability to move low, high and everywhere in between.
The Aplio i-series supports global panel movements of 40° either direction for positioning, locking positions every 4°.
Local precise movements of panel when scanning Monitor rotation up to 383°.
Aplio i-series, large tablet-style touch screen with three interactive zones allows you to quickly browse and select the desired function, while the rest of the display remains unchanged.
Aplio i-series allows you to remotely operate the system from a wireless tablet. This is especially helpful during MSK and vascular exams where it can be difficult to scan a patient and reach the panel at the same time, without losing sight of the monitor.
The wireless tablet is also ideal for scanning in mobile environments, sterile situations and for infection control to protect the system from possible contamination.
Engineered to help you get the information you need to make confident decisions quickly, the Aplio i900 elevates cardiovascular imaging to a new level of imaging precision and productivity.**Compared to the Aplio 500 Platinum
The Aplio™ i800's innovative iBeam architecture. Beam slicing with iDMS (Intelligent Dynamic Microslice) reveals more detail at all depths by electronically sharpening the imaging slice thickness.
Aplio™ i700 helps you provide better quality care in a short amount of time. Combining outstanding imaging with exceptional ease of use and a wide range of expert tools, Aplio i700 is designed to optimally meet your clinical needs.

I'm trying to fix two warnings when compiling a specific program using GCC. The warnings are:
warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
and the two culprits are:
unsigned int received_size = ntohl (*((unsigned int*)dcc->incoming_buf));
*((unsigned int*)dcc->outgoing_buf) = htonl (dcc->file_confirm_offset);
char incoming_buf[LIBIRC_DCC_BUFFER_SIZE];
char outgoing_buf[LIBIRC_DCC_BUFFER_SIZE];
First off, let's examine why you get the aliasing violation warnings.
Aliasing rules simply say that you can only access an object through its own type, its signed / unsigned variant type, or trough a character type (
signed char,
unsigned char).
C says violating aliasing rules invokes undefined behavior (so don't!).
In this line of your program:
unsigned int received_size = ntohl (*((unsigned int*)dcc->incoming_buf));
although the elements of the
incoming_buf array are of type
char, you are accessing them as
unsigned int. Indeed the result of the dereference operator in the expression
*((unsigned int*)dcc->incoming_buf) is of
unsigned int type.
This is a violation of the aliasing rules, because you only have the right to access elements of
incoming_buf array through (see rules summary above!)
signed char or
unsigned char.
Notice you have exactly the same aliasing issue in your second culprit:
*((unsigned int*)dcc->outgoing_buf) = htonl (dcc->file_confirm_offset);
You access the
char elements of
outgoing_buf through
unsigned int, so it's an aliasing violation.
Proposed solution
To fix your issue, you could try to have the elements of your arrays directly defined in the type you want to access:
unsigned int incoming_buf[LIBIRC_DCC_BUFFER_SIZE / sizeof (unsigned int)];
unsigned int outgoing_buf[LIBIRC_DCC_BUFFER_SIZE / sizeof (unsigned int)];
(By the way the width of
unsigned int is implementation defined, so you should consider using
uint32_t if your program assumes
unsigned int is 32-bit).
This way you could store
unsigned int objects in your array without violating the aliasing rules by accessing the element through the type
char, like this:
*((char *) outgoing_buf) = expr_of_type_char;
char_lvalue = *((char *) incoming_buf);
I've entirely reworked my answer, in particular I explain why the program gets the aliasing warnings from the compiler.
