Pittsburgh Knee Rules
The Pittsburgh decision rules can be applied to all patients with an acute knee injury in the past 1 week old, without prior knee surgery or ED evaluation.
- The Pittsburgh knee rules were derived to aid in the efficient use of radiography in acute knee injuries.
- Found in most studies to have a higher specificity than the Ottawa Knee Rule, which would mean fewer x-rays would be needed, while maintaining a sensitivity close to 100%.
- Not useful in children under age 12 as all these patients would require x-rays by the Pittsburgh decision rules.
- The Pittsburgh decision rules are not as well validated as the Ottawa Knee Rule with fewer external validation studies.
- Patients without criteria for imaging by the Pittsburgh decision rules are highly unlikely to have a fracture and do not need plain radiographs.
- It has a higher specificity than the Ottawa Knee Rule, reducing the number of false positives.
- Application of the Pittsburgh decision rules can cut down on the number of unnecessary radiographs by up to 78%.
Please fill out required fields.
Patients who do not meet the Pittsburgh decision rules do not need an x-ray. If one of the conditions are met, then x-ray is recommended.
For significant non-bony injuries, often crutches and a knee immobilizer can be helpful to assist with ambulation.
Critical Actions
Patients who do not meet the Pittsburgh decision rules do not need an x-ray. If one of the conditions are met, then x-ray is recommended.

|Unable to bear weight in ED? (4 steps, limping is allowed)
Evidence Appraisal
- Original study was published in 1994 and consisted of a retrospective chart review followed by a prospective validation study. The authors reviewed all patients who presented to the ED with an acute knee injury during a 10 month period, excluding those patients who had injuries more than 1 week old, had isolated skin injuries, prior knee surgery, or were returning for re-evaluation. They analyzed 11 clinical variables on 201 patients with knee injuries, 12 (6%) of whom had a fracture on x-ray. From this, they found that combining a fall or blunt trauma mechanism with inability to ambulate or age < 12 or greater > 50 yielded a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 63%. They prospectively applied these rules to 133 patients and had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 79%. Would have led to reduction in x-ray usage by 78%.
- Decision rule was prospectively externally validated and compared to the Ottawa Knee Rule in 1998. 745 patients with 91 fractures (12.2%) met the Pittsburgh inclusion criteria and yielded a sensitivity of 99%, specificity of 60% while the Ottawa inclusion criteria were met by 750 patients with 87 fractures (11.6%) with a sensitivity of 97% and specificity of 27%.
- A study in 2005 utilized the Pittsburgh decision rule with triage nurses and physicians. 152 subjects were prospectively enrolled in the study with 13 fractures identified (8.6%). All patients enrolled in the study got an x-ray. The Pittsburgh decision rule would have missed four of 13 fractures with a sensitivity of 77% and specificity 57%. However, one of those fractures was found only on MRI while two others were avulsion or patellar fractures of low clinical significance.
- Another study done in the Netherlands in 2013 comparing the Ottawa knee and Pittsburgh decision rules found that while both had a sensitivity of 86%, the Pittsburgh decision rule had a higher specificity of 51% while the Ottawa Knee Rule specificity was 27%.

From the Creator
- Why did you develop the Pittsburgh Knee Rules? Was there a clinical experience that inspired you to create these rules for clinicians?
- Back in the early 1990's, clinical decision rule research was just beginning. I found the Ottawa Ankle Rules to be a fascinating research and as a Chief Resident in Emergency Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, I thought that a knee rule would also be useful. Since this type of research was fairly new to emergency medicine, I derived our rule from retrospective data and then prospectively validated it.
- What pearls, pitfalls and/or tips do you have for users of the Pittsburgh Knee Rules? Are there cases when they have been applied, interpreted, or used inappropriately?
- The beauty of the Pittsburgh Knee Rule is that it is fairly simple to use. I have heard some Orthopedic surgeons do not like the rule since it does not utilize more physical exam findings. The rule simply uses age and the ability to ambulate for 4 full weight-bearing steps on a flat foot. This exam finding is different than the Ottawa Knee Rule, which just requires any weight transfer onto the foot. The inter-rater reliability of the full weight-weight bearing steps has been found to be equally high.
- What recommendations do you have for health care providers once they have applied the Pittsburgh Knee Rules besides imaging, or when imaging is negative?
- As in any Clinical Decision Rule, the provider must explain the rule to the patient and that it rarely misses fractures. For an Emergency Physician, it is often just easier to order an x-ray (or order it from triage) rather than taking the time to explain the rule. However, there are times, after I explain the rule and try to convince the patient they do not need an X-ray, if the patient still requests an x-ray, I still order it. In the future, as value-based care and bundled payments become more prevalent, these type of evidence-based rules will become more important.
- What is your criteria to determine full weight bearing steps, as required in your algorithm?
- Four full weight-bearing steps on a flat foot

"Hi Angel and Marc. Your advice often seems like it's tailored just for me. Your emails and articles speak to me as I contemplate making positive changes in my life. I was finding it hard to articulate the changes I wanted to make as I turn 50 tomorrow, and your thoughts have helped me finally make a decision I feel great about. Synchronicity perhaps, but I had tears in my eyes when I realized I had finally figured it out. Thank you. Keep sharing your wisdom!"
- Gail M.

Sixth International Post-Polio and Independent Living Conference Program and Registration Information
A Fresh Look at the Type A Personality?
Margaret A. Backman, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, New York, New York
Incontinence Survey
We Call Ourselves Survivors
G.I.N.I. has been publishing since the 1950s. Copies of Toomyville Gazette, Toomey j Gazette, and the Rehabilitation Gazette reveal that through the years individuals who had polio have been called polio patients, wheelchair patients, polios, iron lung polios, multiplegics, respos, horizontals (severely disabled) vs verticals (non-disabled), upside down polios, polio quads, handicapped, physically handicapped, disabled, post-polio people, and polio survivors.
The 1980 Rehabilitation Gazette (Vol. XXIII) contained the article "Watch Our Words" noting that 1981 would be the International Year of Disabled Persons, not "handicapped" persons, or "crippled" persons. The politically correct article argues against generalizing which impersonalizes, negative images which reflect small expectations, words which imply people with disabilities are asexual, and labels which assign superhuman qualities.
Since that time, G.I.N.I. publications have consistently used terms such as people with disabilities, ventilator users, and polio survivors, never accepting the euphemistic "physically challenged." Over the years a few readers have expressed their dislike for the term survivor. With a better understanding of what it means to be a survivor, they may change their mind.
In 1993, Al Siebert, PhD, published The Survivor Personality (ISBN 0-944227-06-6), in which he describes survivors and their qualities.
Dr. Siebert first became interested in survivors when he served in the Army in the early '50s. Part of his paratrooper training was conducted by individuals in a unit that had survived capture by communists in Inchon. He realized that these survivors had characteristics "which tipped the scales in their favor." He "decided to work backward. I look for people who had survived a major, stressful personal crisis which was surmounted in some way by their own personal effort, and which resulted in them being stronger and more capable than they were before."
Dr. Siebert interviewed "hundreds of people, survivors of the World War II Bataan Death March; Jewish survivors of the Nazi Holocaust; ex-POWs and Vietnam veterans; survivors of cancer, polio (11cTpoke with Ed Roberts and Dorothy Woods Smith), head injury, and other physically challenging conditions; survivors of co-dependency, abuse, alcoholism, and addiction; parents of murdered children...."
The following extended excerpt from his book describes what he learned:
"I learned that most survivors are ordinary people with flaws, worries, and imperfections. When people call them heroes they disagree. We just did what any reasonably sensible people would have done,' say two women who were lost for a week in the mountains during freezing winter weather. We aren't heroes,' they keep saying to people awed by their survival.
"I learned that a few good people are born survivors. They are the natural athletes in the game of life. Just as some people are born musicians, writers, artists, or singers, some people are gifted in living. The rest of us need to consciously work to develop our abilities. Just as we would have to take lessons and practice diligently to become artists or musicians, we have to work at learning how to handle job pressures, difficult people, conflict, negative situations, unwelcome change, and crises.
"I learned that some of life's best survivors grew up in horrible family situations, and that many of the people least skillful at coping with life's difficulties have come from ideal homes. Many of the best people in our world have been through experiences that no public school could get away with arranging. They have been strengthened in the school of life. They have been abused, lied to, deceived, robbed, mistreated, and hit by the worst that life can throw at them. Their reaction is to pick themselves up, learn important lessons, set positive goals, and rebuild their lives.
"I learned that people seldom tap into their deepest strengths and abilities until forced to do so by a major adversity. As Julius Segal, the distinguished survivor researcher has said, 'In a remarkable number of cases, those who have suffered and prevail find that after their ordeal they begin to operate at a higher level than ever before ... The terrible experiences of our lives, despite the pain they bring, may become our redemption.'
"Lt. Commander Charlie Plumb, for example, was a navy pilot shot down early in the Vietnam war. He was held in a prison in Hanoi for six years in a stone cell 8 feet by 8 feet in size. He had no window to look out and nothing to read. He was frequently hog-tied, repeatedly beaten, and subjected to grueling interrogations. Yet, in retrospect, when he talks about his experience as a POW he says 'It's probably the most valuable six years of my life. Amazing what a little adversity can teach a person .... I really felt there was some meaning to that, to my experience itself.' "
Thriving vs. Self-Victiming
"I became curious about a fascinating difference in people. Some, like Charlie Plumb, can go through a torturous experience and say -It was horrible, but it was the most valuable experience of my life.' At the other extreme, some people who are healthy employed, and living in safe communities with their families, complain about their lives as though they were being tortured.
"The victim style is revealed in statements that, repeat this complaint:
If only other people would change, my life would be better. There's nothing wrong with that belief, of course, because it's true. Each of us can name several people who would make things better for us if only they would change how they act. It is extremely unlikely, however, that others will voluntarily change themselves to make your life easier. You are the only person on the planet that you can really do something about. Fortunately, you were born with an ability to learn how to handle unfair situations and distressing experiences. You can learn how to respond effectively to life's challenges. You can acquire a learning/coping response as an alternative to feeling like a victim who blames others.
A Teaching Challenge For Me: A Learning Challenge for You
Years of observing and learning about life's best survivors has convinced me that:
- A survivor style develops out of every day habits that increase chances of survival should it become necessary.
- A survivor style can be learned, but it can't be taught as one would teach a sport or skill.
- People trained to act, think, and feel as instructed cannot cope with life's unexpected challenges as well as a person with a self-discovered personality
A frustrating situation for a teacher! How can I teach what can't be taught? How can I offer expert advice about survivorship when people who try to do what an 'expert' says actually lower their chances of coping well with unexpected difficulties?
"My way of handling this teaching and learning challenge is to explain the situation and offer coaching tips on how to manage your own learning. If you've read many 'self-help' or 'self-improvement' books, you may have noticed that the authors often start by saying that none of the existing self-help books worked very well for them. It was only after they compiled their own list of habits or principles that they finally found the way to greatness, effectiveness, excellence, prosperity, wealth, love, power, and good digestion. Their book, they say, will save you from the time and struggle of reading any other books.
"The effectiveness of workability of any plan, however, comes from the learning struggle. Through trial and error you learn what works and what doesn't work for you. The best self-improvement comes out of real life, everyday experiences, not from books or workshops that tell you what to learn.
"Thus, my approach is to provide guidelines on how to learn good surviving, coping, and thriving skills. This is a book of useful questions and practical guidelines, it is not a book of instructions. It is a manual for discovering inborn abilities that no other human being can reveal to you. Only you can discover them. In the school of life the responsibility is on the learner, not the teacher."

I really enjoyed this soup & will make it again. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I only used 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes & it was spicy enough for my family. I think ...
I felt this soup was okay but needed something. I just don't know what and everyone who reviewed seemed to love it as is.

It was great! I left out the mushrooms, used cous cous instead of orzo and fresh spinach instead of frozen. It was easy, tasty, and colorful but a bit salty.
The soup is even better the second day or third day. I used the fresh spinach and left out about 2 cups of water from the chicken broth. Also added a can of black beans it added a lot of flavor.

Here's what we're covering:
• Whether guest customers can collect points
Guest checkouts will not earn points
Many times a customer will make a purchase as a guest before returning to create an account. This customer will not earn points for purchases until they create an account.
The orders they place will appear in their customer profile within Smile, so you can always go in and manually issue them points for the purchase as a guest if you wish.

Google "shareholder meeting attack" and you'll be amazed at the number of stories that come up. Most of them are about non-violent attacks - protest groups, people launching hostile bids or shareholders complaining about executive salaries or positions. But, violent or not, looking at the Google results (and reading this blog post or listening to this podcast episode) you'll soon see why it's imperative for CEOs and prominent company executives to have executive protection and risk mitigation strategies in place.
In this episode:
What kind of businesses have a higher risk of protest or violent behaviour against executives?
Do these executives need protection just at meetings, or are there other situations where they might be at risk?
At what point should a board or an executive team bring in a professional to help or at least have their risk assessed?
Should people attending shareholder meetings or business breakfasts or similar go through a security screening, or is that taking things too far?

The industry of movies happens to the most growing industries all over the world. This is since the movies happens to be among the best choice of most individuals for the purposes of entertainment. It is very hard for you to find an individual who don't like watching movies. There are various types of genres which are present in the recent days and which suit viewers of different ages as well as mentalities. You can either watch movies in the theatre or on the Putlocker. It's also very possible for you to either purchase or rent disks for movies and play hem using computers or players. However, there are sites which will make it possible for you to Watch series online Putlocker movies and they are becoming more and more popular. The reason for this is that it is possible for you to get numerous content in the internet and also all the movies which have been produced till this day. It will also be convenient for you since you can watch them at any place you want. You can't get a lot of content in disks store that are offline though the disk will allow you to watch at any time you want.
For you to be able to stream movies online, there are various things which you will require apart from the computer with adequate space of hard drive as well as memory and an internet connection with a high speed. However, these are just some of the things which are very indispensable for you to watch movie online in a smooth way without any interruption due to low performing computers or a slow connection to the internet. You will at least require a broadband connection since the connections for dial-up will either not play properly or won't load the movies. In order for you to ensure that you have the best viewing experience, consider having flat monitors with high resolution. The movies that are being produced today have effects of high qualities, and hence they may fail to play on resolutions with low resolutions.
You will also require some software's that are basic on your computer for you also to be able to watch movies online. It is also recommended that you have some additional streaming media including the real player as well as the quick time. Media for streaming is such a media which is played on the computer of the viewer as it is being delivered from a database stored on the server.

Is SUMATRA going to be something like HOUDINI? SUMATRA Sumatra (codename) is Softimage's next-generation 3D system, introducing the first application of Non-Linear Animation (NLA). Sumatra is based on a new,fully-threaded architecture that for the first time integrates modeling, animation,rendering, and compositing into a single seamless environment.

CVS and FX production 17 years, 7 months
Daniele Colajacomo
Daniele Colajacomo
we're using it in a production environment, it's cool, but still you need to know who's working on what... - given that, it's a good way of always having the whole project up to date. Because we're in different locations, cvs also substitutes a "release" mechanism: when I commit it is because I want others working remotely to see my part of the project. In that respect it's powerful: everyone working on their local copy of the project, which gets updated by others releasing their sections. But again you have to know who's working on what of course: if we're both painting a texture map cvs will tell me we've both changed it, but the problem still remains.... Also don't consider it as a viable mechanism for merging ascii files (i.e. scripts code). I don't even know why they bother advertising that, maybe in some rare instances it is useful, but I can't see it as something to be relied upon... d John Coldrick wrote: > This may be a silly question, but if you don't ask...:) > > Has anyone out there ever heard of CVS being used in a CG production > environment to manage projects with multiple users?

sticky mouse problem - any solutions? 17 years, 8 months
Daniele Colajacomo
Daniele Colajacomo
Does it ever happen that as you tweak channels through a slider, or drag a keyframe in the channel editor, your mouse has to move a certain number of pixels before Houdini 'reacts' - at which point the keyframe/value snaps to your mouse position and from then on it moves smoothly? This is MOST annoying of course, because to get tiny movements you need to first move the mouse too far just to get some reaction from Houdini, then you have to backtrack close to the original position and go from there. This doesn't always happen though, sometimes things just work... so I'm wondering if anyone out there has had the same experience, and has found a solution for this aggravating behavior. Thanks! dani

converting gdp ref? 17 years, 8 months

Hi, I've spent a lot of today staring at houdini's spinning wheel wondering just what: "converting gdp" really means?

Isosurface SOP 17 years, 8 months
Hwee K
Hwee K
>The main drawback, however, is that, unlike metaballs, >there is no micro-polygon tesselation by the renderer, >so your edges will always be saw-toothed at some scale, >and your conversion to renderable geometry will be heavy. This might not be a problem now that we have VEX. A surface shader could be written to show the implicit surface through a dummy plane covering the viewport. The rendering engine would be built-into the shader - just need to plug the same iso-expression into it. I definitely agree the controls and interface to this SOP need to be expanded. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

hi all, has anybody been able to run Houdini under Windows 2000 with a GeForce 2 GTS card? Sidefx support has been unable to help me. I had Houdini running with the same card on an older computer that uses WindowsNT, so I'm not sure what the problem is. have tried the lastest official and unofficial Nvidia drivers. the funny thing is that every thing else runs - hscript, imageviewer, etc - only Houdini won't startup. if anybody can help, feel free to email me directly. I read the digest version of the list, so may not reply right away if you mail to the list. I'll really like to get Houdini up and running before my license expires! thanx!

Good morning world. Yes, Obama was elected yesterday.
What has happened to the state of politics in the USA now? Will people continue to stay engaged? And what were the triggers that led to the highest voter turnout in ages? I believe there were a few things that led to this: the internet, the state of our country, and an Obama campaign that stayed optimistic and focused on resolving our country's issues. It's no question that negative campaigning, while dramatic, is fleeting and doesn't manage a sustainable interest. It's like a sugar high and both are unhealthy.
My mom, I'm proud to say, voted for the first time in her life for an American president after becoming a US citizen a few years ago. Though she's lived in the US since 1970, she is still working on a strong command of the English language. Yet, she had a point-of-view on the key issues being debated. Where, in the past, we avoiding talking politics, we talked genuinely about the economy, health care and education in the days proceeding the election. Something was stirred.
Yesterday, as my mom routinely picks up my nephews from elementary school, my nephews called to say hello on their way home. One of them had a mini-election in their classroom and Obama won handily 17-3 (this in NM which voted Republican in the '04 election). 10, 9, and 8 years old, they were screaming for Obama to win (even though their parents seemed to oppose the candidate). Something was stirred. I thought more about creative ways that teachers could introduce the notion of a political system at an early age.
This is indeed a new era in the American political system which has (to a pleasant surprise) created a sense of ownership and participation among the masses. The streets of SF were alive and with energy last night - hooligans - but, for an election?! Something deep was stirred and there is great momentum in the country right now. As Obama mentioned yesterday, this first step is but a chance to enable change. There is a responsibility we all carry now. But, no doubt, there is even more confidence in our abilities after yesterday.
Congratulations to Mr. Obama, his family, and the entire campaign. I'm giddy.

Sins of the Mind
I saw this movie on TV when it was released, in 1997. One of those utterly forgettable made-for-television-films. However, two years ago there was a case which brought this movie back to mind. A young woman, with a large aneurysm, very difficult to treat. The aneurysm had ruptured twice, and it seemed likely it was going to bleed again. Every time a brain aneurysm bleeds, there is a 50% chance of instant death. So something had to be done. She underwent three operations, the aneurysm was approached from both sides, and finally it was successfully clipped. Unfortunately, the procedure resulted in damage to both of her temporal lobes.
As a result, the young lady started behaving oddly during rounds. She started exhibiting uninhibited sexual behavior, speaking in a suggestive and seductive manner, as well as touching and grabbing male doctors. I started dreading the morning rounds because it was always an awkard situation. How to respond? Getting angry or reprimanding her was useless, because she did not consciously think she was doing anything wrong. Nonchalance was the only way to deal with it, and that seemed to work reasonably well.
She was suffering from Kluver-Bucy syndrome, a condition caused by bilateral (both sides) temporal lobe injury. She was eventually discharged from our unit and transferred to another hospital for rehabilitation, but to this day I don't know how she recovered. It would be interesting to know whether she was finally discharged and returned to normal life, and whether the hypersexuality persisted, and how she manages with it. Now that I think about it, I'll try to find out, and if I do, I'll let you know.

With Newcastle now scouring the French football leagues for good bargains it's not surprising that Arsenal could be int here for the same players.
Benjamin Corgnet – top French midfielder interesting Arsenal and Newcastle
Arsene Wenger has brought in a lot of French players in his time as the Arsenal manager, and it seems that both clubs are now keen on Dijon midfielder Benjamin Corgnet.
Newcastle were said to have made an offer for the Dijon midfielder in early January, and that was said by the Dijon manager at the time to have been a large bid from Newcastle, but it was still turned down by the French club.
The 24-year-old was born in Thionville, France and was signed by Dijon after he was spotted playing for amateur club Monts d'Or Azergues in the Championnat de France amateur 2, the fifth division of French football.
It's clear that Newcastle are after an attacking midfielder this summer, and only a couple of days ago we were linked with 22 year-old attacking midfielder Romain Amalfitano, who is a free agent in the summer and the news was that Newcastle were ready to offer the lad a three year deal.
Corgnet looks to be a very good player and there are now a number of Premier League clubs taking notice, including Arsenal and Newcastle .
The 5'11" Corgnet is a very good all around player, and has a phenomenal work rate, and he can also score the goals and has 9 goals this season so far for Dijon.
Of course Newcastle have scoured the French market and we expect some unknown players to be signed up after Chief Scout Graham Carr has continued to check out up and coming players across the English Channel this season.
Since joining Dijon Corgnet in 2010, he has played 60 times for the French side and scored 10 goals, and this season he has made 27 total overall appearances with 9 goals, and has been Dijon's star player.
This is not the first time Newcastle have been linked with this player, and in early January we reported that Dijon had turned down an offer of £4.5M from Newcastle for their player.
It looks to us that Newcastle are really interested in acquiring this player in the summer, and at the time their manager Patrice Carteron had this to say:
"We had a direct approach from Newcastle, but he is of the same approach as us and wants to continue to grow and play a full season in Ligue 1."
"We would allow him to leave at the end of the season. Newcastle's offer was very high."
It wouldn't surprise us if Newcastle get this lad into the club early in the summer.
Comments welcome.

Can he play on the wings? Only midfield position I'm concerned about is the Right wing. With Obertan failing to find consistent form and Raylor's lack of pace, its the only MF position at the moment that I feel needs strengthening. That is under the assumption that Arfa won't be deployed in that position ofcourse.
Our defence need's strengthening the most Bring in a couple young prospects as cover.
How Raylor gets a start ahead of Benny tells you absolutely everything you need to know about Pardew. Benny will leave at the expense of an honest, workaday, but no star quality journeyman in Raylor. Benny is the closest thing we've had to the second coming of Beardo and Pardew is going to blow it.
Take today, we should be going all out, guns blazing against Wolves, but we will make it difficut for ourselves by not having our best players on the pitch and negatively worrying too much about the opposition, a la Allardyce, instead of imposing ourselves.
Pardew prefers artisans to artists and doesn't know how to play a system to suit the good technical players Carr has assembled for him.
It's like asking Cabaye to be a Sunday park player.
Messi would have a hard time getting a gig under Pardew, just ask Tevez and Madscherano, 2 world class players dumped in favour of Harewood and Mullins.
This is why pardew's highest achievement has been finshing 9th one year.
Hard work is very laudable and a much needed quality and attribute, but if you can't incorporate a flair player in your team, you are never going to reach the heights, as fear of flair fixes a certain mindset, but not a winning mentality.
Pardew mirrors Allardyce in just about everything.
We have some great players who maybe are partially succeeding (not taking in to account the 2 recent thrashings and the embarrassment at Brighton) in spite of Pardew, not because of him.
Pray to god I will be proved wrong and Benny plays a blinder in a front 3 with BA and Cisse.
Never happen with Pardew.
jesperfugslag: @3
Do you mean "Releasing" and not realizing?
Sorry just noticed your post @7!
Is this old news though! Typical that Arsenal are after the same players we are! While Liverpool just want to buy the players off us we already have!
You,ve more or less predicted the scoreline for the game today and i agree!
It is,nt going to be as easy as everyone on here seems to think though!
Rotonda – Agree with you on most of those points! Especially the worrying too much about the opposition like Allardyce! Very good comment.
Buts lets not take away from the fact Pardew has done a top job, but I feel if we are to utilise the fortune we've had this season, it's by using the best players at our disposal, not average try hards, essential as they are at times.
I would say that pardew's strength is that he is a good motivator, maybe even exceptional on a few occasions, ie manu and stoke. That you can't deny in any shape or from and both matches were superb management.
However, if Pardew could only lose the so so rigid formula of 442, playing long ball, playing a high line with slow turning defenders etc and have a plan B and make more adventurous game changing subs, not putt on more defenders when we are losing a game, so we don't lose by even more, then you could really start to believe in him.
As someone said the other day, Willo turns slower than a pregnant woman in heels. If a man on the street sees that, why can't the man who has the power to react and change the system not?
spaqretheman –
We should abandon a few threads to the neggers and let them get on with it.
There are far more positive vibes from blog contributors than negative ones, it's just that the neggers seem to take great delight in posting and re-posting the same comments over and over again and I for one cannot be bothered to re-post time and time again, putting a positive perspective on Pardew et al.

Workers may be exposed to harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun,
particularly while working outdoors. This exposure may increase the chance
of developing serious health conditions, such as skin cancer.
Where there is a risk to health and safety from sun exposure during work, a
person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) must ensure that this risk
is managed appropriately. The risk of sun exposure cannot be fully eliminated.
Therefore, it must be minimised, so far as is reasonably practicable, by
establishing effective controls.
This quick guide provides information for PCBUs on how to identify and assess
the health risk from solar UV radiation, and if so, how to effectively manage and monitor this risk.
The complete guide can be found here.

Extremes, book two of the Retrieval Artist series by Kristine Kathryn Rusch furthers the adventures of Miles Flint, and his former partner, Armstrong Police Detective Noelle DeRicci. In Extremes, DeRicci is sent to investigate a death on the course of the Moon Marathon. At first, it appears to be a simple case, but DeRicci quickly realizes that this death is anything but simple. Meanwhile, Miles Flint is settling into his life as a Retrieval Artist, and learning what cases he should–and shouldn't–take. The former partners paths cross in the most unlikely of ways, but not before all of Armstrong is threatened with survival. Does Extremes live up to the promise laid out in The Disappeared, or does it fall tremendously flat?
The characters introduced by Rusch in The Disappeared make their glorious return, and Flint is very much new to the role of Retrieval Artist in this novel. Rusch spends an extraneous amount of time (perhaps too much) detailing Flint's new life, and his struggles with making himself comfortable. When a client approaches him, he plays very-hard-to-get, keeping readers in the dark about the proposed job until more than halfway through the novel. Alternatively, DeRicci's investigation into the death of a Marathon runner very quickly turns into a murder investigation with far-reaching implications. The mystery surrounding the death is well handled, though the ultimate reveal leaves a bit to be desired. The characters in Extremes are decidedly excellent, and continue a narrative that will obviously use the entire series to explore. The Retrieval Artist novels are very much individual chapters in a larger story.
Once again, Rusch avoids the temptation of dwelling on exposition to fill in the past. The scenes where history is revealed is necessary, and brief. A few more species are alluded to, though very little detail about them is revealed. In fact, Extremes is very much a singularly human story–there is virtually no alien influence at all in the novel, which is a good thing, as it avoid detracting from the central mystery. The technology revealed isn't particularly futuristic, though sets it apart from current levels of technology. The Retrieval Artist novels provide a timelessness that is difficult to match in current science fiction. So many of today's stories are set so far into the future that technology has seemingly leaped into the realm of magic, or they are set in essentially the modern day, or very-near future so that some scientific breakthrough is about to change modern society in ways we can only imagine. It's refreshing to see a story that's still accessible and familiar, yet beyond our current reach; it gives us something to strive for.
Unfortunately, Extremes doesn't quite live up to the excellence set forth in the previous installment of the series. The mystery is a good one, though the clues come together a bit too quickly, and readers will likely put the pieces together faster than the book does–primarily due to several characters each holding a piece of the solution. The plot moves rather slowly–even more so than in the first book. Still, this is nitpicking, finding faults that are minor. Overall, the book is a solid mystery, and a worthy read–if not quite as good as The Disappeared. It still furthers the Retrieval Artist story, and will continue to draw readers into the continuing saga being weaved by Rusch, one long chapter at a time.

Citus DataAdobe Illustrator / HTML
Design is inherently an iterative process, and even while on a short 1 week timeline to create custom artwork and design this new section section of the existing Citus Data website, Lotus worked in tight feedback loop with Citus Data.
Wireframes, icons and designs were discussed in real-time via Slack and Google Hangouts to ensure that the team had approval as quick as possible to design and prototype the deliverable for Citus Data.
As part of developing an easy-to-follow guide for new customers, Lotus delivered custom icon artwork to be used on the designs.
As part of this project, Citus Data also wanted an eye catching an informative illustration of their new data sharding product to be used on branding materials, including their homepage for launch. Lotus developed this illustration, which is animated on the Citus Data website as an SVG vector graphic with CSS3 animations.

Pine Mountain – Two Ways
Pine Mountain sits in the shadows of the Belknap Range. It's Alton's "Other Mountain." You have to drive off Rte. 11 and climb Mountain Road to find it. It's a little bumpty-bump at 1400-feet high, but the views rival those from Mt. Major – full access to Lake Winnipesaukee and numerous mountain ranges. Every once in a while, I say skip Major (and the overflowing parking lot) – and just go climb Pine.
There are two ways to get up Pine Mountain. One is an old jeep trail off Mountain Road. The other is around the bend on Avery Hill Road through the Morse Preserve. There's a big brown sign and a gated trailhead just up the road. Not far up the trail there's a kiosk and a map.
Evelyn H. & Albert D. Morse, Sr. Preserve
The trails all around Pine are named after a few people who have the same name or some variation thereof. That's fine, but they're all mouthfuls. I found it easier to think of the trails by the roads they began from. Wilder and I got into the woods from the Avery Hill Road trailhead. That trail has two loops built into it, a little loop about halfway up and a big loop that touches the summit.
I let the happy trail dog lead the way through open fields and birch trees and rock walls. This whole area used to be the Avery Farm. There was lots of woody stem shrapnel and overgrown meadow from last season and I was already on high tick patrol. I've been hearing stories of people finding ticks on the warmer days this February, which is alarming. But it is what it is. Embrace the little bastards. They're here to stay. Fortunately, we never found any.
We came to the first loop and Wilder decided we'd go left, into a grove of birches. The trail was either mud and rocks or a thick crust of crunchy ice pocked with rocks and fallen branches. We had to watch our step while maintaining a pace fit for a perked up pup.
Soon we reached the second loop, the actual climb up standard Belknap terrain, exposed rock and wild blueberry bushes poking out of the snow. It was chilly out and there was a breeze, but the sun beat down and I had a sweat going under my jacket. Our feet were wet and muddy. But it was a fun kind of muddy. There were views to the left through the trees, but once we got to the top, there was nothing between us and the lake but the wind.
The view of Lake Winnie from Pine Mountain is from below the bay, so we could see a lot more of it than one can from Major. On our left, we could see almost every Belknap mountain, from Major and Straightback, out to Piper, Belknap, and even Gunstock, its summit ski lift shining in the sun. Across the lake we could see the entire Ossipee Range.
And northbound, beyond the lake, like an epic painting, centered in the canvas, the southern White Mountains – Passaconaway, Whiteface, even Tripyramid prominent and golden in the noontime sunlight. And.... not a soul around. Wilder and I dawdled on the summit for a good ten minutes before the wind told us to get going.
We continued down the second half of the summit loop through more young growth and blueberry ledges. The path cut back and forth down the mountain. It was a peaceful, sunny hike. Soon we were following our own pawprints again. We raced through the field that the little loop covered and we were back at the trailhead in no time.
Bonus Hike: Mike Burke Trail
Just across the street from the Morse Preserve trailhead, there's a parking lot and a loop trail through the Alton Town Forest. We walked straight into the woods, which took us into the loop counter-clockwise. We followed blue signs that read PUBLIC TRAIL and occasionally saw white diamonds. The place was abandoned, so I let the wild one run around off-leash. Off into the trees he went, nosediving off rocks into piles of leaves and snow and swelling brooks.
About halfway around, we climbed a hill to a giant boulder, then veered left and began the return, following a rock wall. The trail got messy around the end. A little too rocky and muddy – and the blue signs were hard to find. Fortunately, the white diamonds were prominent. Both Wilder and I had slip-ups and mis-steps, so I leashed him to keep him from landing in some swampy trap.
We got back to the parking lot and there was a car there. Bootprints led across the street to the Morse Preserve trailhead. Maybe we'd see them at the top, I thought, because we were gonna climb Pine Mountain again!
Mary Jane Morse Greenwood Trail
We hiked up the old jeep trail off Mountain Road, through tall bushes and small trees. The tire tracks were still matted into the overgrowth. The summit of Pine Mountain was always just out of view.
This trail is a short, fun climb. I turned around often to look out to Lake Winnie, a sheet of solid white all the way to the Whites, banked with forest green and bright sky. The road followed the ridge, then turned and climbed. It levelled out again for a while, then cranked it in for a final climb. We got under treeline and Wilder sniffed out some mooseprints crossing the trail.
We had to inch up the final stretch, which was steeper and icy. But then the tire tracks were a red carpet to the superb summit area. We caught a brief glance of our hiker friends moseying down the backside of the summit loop trail, so we had the place to ourselves yet again. We didn't linger long, though, as the promise of snacks and water and car heat awaited us below. Wilder was so hungry he stopped on the way down to eat some snow, too busy to pose for a picture.
Next time we'll bring the snacks up to the top of Pine Mountain. I like the sound of that.

Southeast Queenslanders are being asked to support local prawn farmers with white spot disease triggering a ban on the removal of uncooked shellfish from the region.
Seafood prices are expected to fall in the coming weeks and months as over-supply issues add to the woes of the struggling industry.
The state government implemented a movement control order on Thursday to stop the removal of uncooked crustaceans from the southeast, in a bid to stop the spread of the disease.
It followed the detection of 31 prawns in Moreton Bay infected with white spot virus, which causes the disease.
Agriculture and Fisheries Minister Bill Byrne said it posed "absolutely no risk" to humans because it died during cooking.
He has urged locals to go out and buy local seafood to support the hardworking farmers who were doing it tough now their produce could no longer be exported from the region.
The movement control order will last three months.
Fishing is still allowed in Moreton Bay but all prawns and other shellfish need to be cooked in order to leave the exclusion zone.
Biosecurity officials are conducting tests along the Queensland coast to see if disease has taken root elsewhere.

Actually the little one was captured on Snapchat video at a dance recital Friday night (05-20-16).
If you're wondering, the music the 4-year-old is getting' down to is "You Can't Stop the Beat" from the musical Hairspray.
Check out the clip above. She's the 3rd one from the left and the only one pretty much on beat.

Marou Chocolates in India
In 2011, when two Frenchmen, Samuel Maruta and Vincent Mourou met in Vietnam, they discovered a mutual love of the country and a passion for the local cocoa beans. In the three short years since Vincent and Samuel started Marou, they have become known one of the best known artisan bean to bar chocolate makers in the world. They combined their experience as French chocolate makers with the great cocoa origin of Southern Vietnam. Mourou can quite easily be referred to as the "Ferrari" of Chocolates.

The Problem With Tax Havens
A tax haven (or "fiscal paradise" in french) seems like a benign, if rampant, breach of the law. It's just a matter of shifting money around, right? Except when a secret company/tax haven is used to shield the activities of a notorious African dictator. Suddenly, the mysterious offshore world no longer seems so harmless.
