text: Testimony on Comparative Effectiveness Research Sara Rosenbaum, JD; Floyd J. Malveaux, MD, PhD; Feygele JacobsOn April 3, 2009, public testimony on comparative effectiveness research was given at a meeting of the National Advisory Council for Healthcare Research and Quality. The testimony represents the views of the presenter and not necessarily those of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) or the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Comparative effectiveness research is imperative to better understand and improve the provision of care for children with asthma. We recommend prioritizing studies that compare, with respect to both cost savings and clinical outcomes, the effectiveness of an integrated asthma counselor/environmental mitigation chronic disease management model with a non-integrated episodic model for children with asthma. Childhood asthma is a significant chronic disease that has reached epidemic proportions in heavily disadvantaged communities, placing a disproportionate burden on low-income and minority families and communities. Childhood asthma carries high direct and indirect clinical, social, and economic costs—;an estimated $20 billion in 2007 alone—in the form of preventable emergency department visits and inpatient hospital admissions, lost productivity, school absenteeism and family stress. Paradoxically, while much is known about effective integrated pediatric asthma management (including USPSTF recommendations for "home-based multi-trigger multi-component environmental interventions" for children with asthma), insurers continue to utilize coverage, cost sharing, and payment design strategies that treat asthma as an isolated episodic illness, and pediatric practice and public health have failed to systematically restructure their approach to emphasize an integrated chronic care/public health intervention.A proposed model of comparison is an integrated asthma counselor/environmental mitigation chronic disease model with a non-integrated, episodic model of care. This can be accomplished through a range of health services research- including interventions specifically designed to better understand novel treatment pathways and comparisons of the standard of care/ usual care with new models as proposed above. This research should include children of all ages (young children and adolescents) and racial/ethnic minority groups.The epidemic proportion of asthma among child populations at risk for social risk and heavy disease burden, coupled with the high costs associated with ineffective care, make asthma a prime candidate for comparative effectiveness research in pediatric health. The availability of a growing scientific and public health evidence-base, including appropriate models of integrated chronic disease management, also make asthma a priority where it is possible to improve the quality of life for children and families while reducing health care costs.For more information, please contact: Dr. Floyd Malveaux, MD, PhD (email@example.com) Current as of April 2009 Internet Citation: Testimony on Comparative Effectiveness Research: Sara Rosenbaum, JD; Floyd J.

Well, well, well. Talk about perfect timing. The day after Sean Lowe sent her packing on the St. Croix episode of The Bachelor, Tierra LiCausi posted photos of an "engagement ring" on her finger on Instagram.
Yes, my friends, there's a chance that the craziest woman to ever grace the cast of The Bachelor has actually found a man to put a ring on it, and it's hard to wonder how anyone could be stupid enough to settle down with this biatch.
Heck, even Arie Luyendyk, Jr. feels sorry for Tierra's fiance -- that is, if she really has one.
We've all witnessed Tierra dishing out heaping helpings of pure crazy ever since Sean's season started, and it's quite possible that posting photos of a fancy-schmancy ring that may or may not have been given to her by an actual man is her wackiest display of insanity yet.
More from The Stir: Emily Maynard Has a Soft Spot in Her Heart for 'Bachelor' Villain Tierra LiCausi
Yes, I'm accusing her of buying the ring herself and posting the photos in an effort to convince everyone she's happily engaged -- thus making it look like she's not the least bit upset about Sean dumping her. And you know what else? I'm thinking it's possible that Tierra might even believe she's engaged to a fake man.
She's delusional, people. And I'm calling her bluff on this one.
I mean, the girl faked hypothermia (or at least I think she did) for crying out loud, so what's to stop her from faking an engagement?
If she were really engaged, don't you think we would've heard about it by now? Why wait until the day after she's rejected on national television to share her happy news with the world? Duhhhhh. She wanted to rub it in everyone's faces that she has absolutely no problem finding someone to marry her. Unfortunately in this case, odds are good she's engaged to herself. (Or a HUGE idiot.)
Remember how she told AshLee that she was going to be married with kids by the time she's 32? She might want to go ahead and invest in one of those fake pregnancy pillows and a couple of baby dolls now so she's prepared when that particular birthday rolls around.
Do you think Tierra is really engaged?
Image via Instagram
Please remember what we saw on the show - all of it was edited for shock value. I didnt like her character on the show either - but I'm betting we really didnt see her true self. And maybe the producers of the show gave her the ring to let viewers think she and Sean were engaged. I hpe she will be at the women tell all after the final rose so we can really see who she is.
I found her amusing lol. Need to have the one crazy person to make you feel even better about your real life than the overall reality show manages to do just on its own. ;-)

Trudy Lieberman, a long-time health care and consumer journalist, is a contributing editor to the Columbia Journalism Review and has blogged about health care for cjr.org since the beginning of the presidential campaign. The views expressed are her own.
A few year's back, a joke on the cocktail circuit went like this: you know the world is topsy-turvy when the best rapper is white; the best golfer is black, and the Germans don't want to go to war. Tuesday's vote in Massachusetts that sent Republican Scott Brown to the Senate taking over the seat held by Edward Kennedy for nearly fifty years produced a new twist to the old joke.
Things are indeed upside down when the advocates for a single-payer, national health insurance system supported a Republican. On Sunday, one of those advocates, Diane Cooper Bridges, sent a letter to the president and to his adviser David Axelrod saying:
"Democrats are voting for Scott Brown b/c MA residents know for sure how regressive and oppressive life is under the failed MA plan, especially in this recession that is not getting any better unless you are a banker or a broker on Wall Street or a member of the U.S. Congress. And we know that the national bills are worse than the MA plan."
For months a small band of single-payer supporters have tried to get the attention of their elected officials, telling them that their state's much hailed health reform law, which became the model for the national bill Congress is crafting, was not working according to the official version that sometimes appeared in the nation's news media. For the most part, those people were dismissed.

University of Tennessee officials told the AJC on Friday that there's no connection between 5-star WR Cordarrelle Patterson signing with the Volunteers last month and one of Patterson's coaches recently joining Tennessee's football staff.
Patterson played at Hutchinson (Kan.) junior college and was ranked as the No. 1 overall JC prospect in the nation. Up until the final hours before signing day, nearly every recruiting analyst was predicting for Patterson to sign with UGA.
Last week, the Tennessee Rivals website Volquest.com reported that Hutchinson assistant head coach Brandon Staley "will have an undisclosed role in the Tennessee football program." It immediately sparked speculation, especially among Tennessee fans on this message board, that Staley was part of a delayed "package deal" involving Patterson.
We asked Tennessee for some clarification.
On Friday, Tennessee athletics spokesman Jimmy Stanton told the AJC that Staley is an 'intern" within the football program and said that there was "no correlation between his hire and Patterson."
We also contacted Cordarrelle Patterson about his coach going from junior college to Tennessee with him.
"It feels pretty good to have a coach over there that I already know," Patterson told the AJC. "[Staley] coached me in junior college and it was a pretty good experience."
Were the twosome a "package deal" to the Volunteers?
"No, I didn't know anything about that," Patterson said. "He [Staley] went … he did that a couple of days after I signed. I don't even want to get into all of that."
Now there were always rumors that Tennessee had inside position with the NFL-bound WR because his high school quarterback, Justin Worley, already plays for the Volunteers. What about that? "That wasn't as big of a factor as everybody thought," Patterson said. "But it is pretty nice to have a player and coach on the team already there that you've already bonded with."
Patterson on why he picked Tennessee: "It just always felt like home for me. I felt that way deep down for a long time. When I went on my visits, all those other schools started jumping ahead of Tennessee. But when things winded down, I knew Tennessee was the best place for me."
Patterson on which school was runner-up: "Shoot, I don't know. You could put Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss in there together."
Patterson on which non-Tennessee coach was the nicest: "The Ole Miss coach [Hugh Freeze] is a good guy. I wish I could've gotten to know him a lot more. He came in there at the end. I wish I could've gotten to know him like the Tennessee coaches." Not the nicest? "Probably the KU coach, Charlie Weis. He was kind of mean. He was straight forward, yelling and screaming, and all this stuff. I didn't have time for that."
Back to the package deal issue: Tennessee was part of one of Georgia's all-time most infamous "package deals." In 2010, then-Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin started a two-for-one special finished by Derek Dooley that successfully poached Georgia's No. 1 overall prospect, WR Da'Rick Rogers, who was a longtime UGA commitment. How did they do it? Tennessee also offered Da'Rick's high school QB and best friend, Nash Nance.
UGA has also had success with "package deals," including a couple from 2010: The Bulldogs secured their commitment with LB Alec Ogletree after offering a football scholarship to his twin brother. Also, on signing day in 2010, UGA abruptly offered and signed little-known Wilcox County WR Lonnie Outlaw, who was the cousin and best friend of QB-DB Nick Marshall, who signed with the Bulldogs last year (both Outlaw and Marshall are currently enrolled at junior colleges).
Last year, UGA made a surprise late offer to Isaiah Crowell's best friend since kindergarten, Quintavious "Cootie" Harrow. At the time, Crowell's mother said she was thrilled for Harrow, while adding the famous line, "I'm not selling my son's soul to the devil."
This year, Avery Young's high school coach from Florida denied he was part of a UGA "package deal" gone wrong. Or part of any type of package deal involving the 5-star OL who broke UGA's heart when he picked Auburn on signing day. A few weeks after signing day, Young's high school was named the new football coach at Cedar Shoals High School in Athens. One of the references on his job application was UGA's Mark Richt.
However, UGA did land its top OL target, 5-star John Theus, after signing his brother at long snapper the year before. What about Georgia Tech? There was speculation that 4-star basketball recruit Robert Carter was part of a "package deal" involving the son of his AAU coach, who transferred to play for the Yellow Jackets last summer.
What do we think about package deals? We love them. We'd do them all day long in exchange for 5-star recruits. Derek Dooley deserves harsh criticism. Not for the alleged package deal for Cordarrelle — because that was brilliant, if true. No, he should be criticized for not wheeling and dealing MORE. Tennessee has lost seven assistant coaches since the end of last season. Dooley had room and leverage to make some magic happen and land an army of 5-star recruits.
Like every year, we look forward to seeing plenty of more package deals this year, especially with how talented-loaded the state of Georgia is for 2013. We would not be surprised to see UGA or Auburn (or even Alabama) consider finding some departmental position for former Troup High School head coach Charles Flowers, who is a mentor to LB Reuben Foster, who is ranked as the nation's No. 2 overall prospect and committed to Alabama but still flirting with UGA and Auburn. Flowers was fired at Troup last month apparently over the improper transfer of a player to the school. Flowers, who is still very well-respected within the state, is considered be a "father figure" by Foster, who has vowed not to play at Troup next year without his coach.
The nation's No. 1 overall football prospect, Grayson High School's Robert Nkemdiche, has stopped short of calling himself a "package deal" with his best friend since the sixth grade, David Kamara. But it sure sounds like one. After Big Rob went public with his wishes a couple of weeks ago, Kamara got offers from Clemson, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. UGA may have missed out on gaining inside position on Nkemdiche by not signing his older brother last summer.
Switching over to basketball, we also would not be surprised to see UGA's Mark Fox or Georgia Tech's Brian Gregory take a close look at Miller Grove High School coach Sharman White, who has been courted by other colleges, including Memphis, in past years. White has impeccable credentials after leading Miller Grove to four straight state championships in basketball. He also happens to be the coach of the nation's No. 21 overall prospect, power forward Tony Parker, who is uncommitted.

Well, Fox needs to hire somebody to get the recruiting jumpstarted. He needs to get someone that can recruit these Ga. kids and keep them in-state. If that is what it takes to get the top rated players, then UGA needs to get on board. Fox is a good coach with subpar talent and he would do a lot better with superior talent. Also speeding up the play might attract some more players. This is not Nevada and this is the SEC. The talent level has to get better if he plans on competing on a consistent basis. He cannot compete with Kentucky or anyone else if he keeps bringing in the 1,2and 3 star players. Football teams problem seems to be the offensive coaching staff and the lazy recruiting by RG. UGA brings in good talent but, it should be a whole lot better. Both sports could use better RC if they want to compete consistantly.

If you want to waste a scholarship on a friend, at least the friend is going to get an education. Giving a coach is like bribery. But it is not as bad as Auburn's payment to Scam.

Patterson is going to do one year and he's NFL bound so I'm ok with him not coming to Georgia.Dooley will be fired in the next couple of years so I really dont care about what he does.He's not going to be given enough time to fix the mess that he walked into on Rocky Top.

I'd considering hiring the Troup coach as a graduate assistant. I'm definitely on board with Coach Fox hiring the Miller Grove coach. He should've done that a long time ago.
March 16th, 2012
7:26 pm
When UGA offers a package deal, they expect the 2nd part of that package to contribute.
Zander Ogletree has played snaps at FB and will continue to. Q Harrow is blowing people up on special teams.
Is Nash Nance still on the roster?
March 16th, 2012
7:36 pm
Good luck to Patterson @ UT, but I know for a fact that he was one of the guys that the UGA coaches were confident that they were getting as late as Sunday before NSD. I guess if it's ok to give a recruits girlfriend a job then I am ok with a coach dragging along with a recruit. Speaking of that, surely CMF could find a place for the Miller Grove coach!
March 16th, 2012
7:39 pm
Package deals are a part of the recruiting game. Good for Dooley.
@ross 7:26 post. In Uga's case – some of your package deals don't even make it to the school – see Outlaw.
As for Nash Nance – the beautiful thing is that he left for an Ivy league school – opening up a scholaship. But to be honest with you – I am now thinking maybe Tennessee did UGA a favor by stealing Da'Rick. This guy is an unbelievable talent….. and an unbelievable pain in the BUTT! Yeah, we did UGA a favor here.
March 16th, 2012
7:43 pm
White would be a good hire for UGA even if Parker didn't come. White has the respect of coaches and players in the state of Georgia. Best thing that could happen to get Fox over the hump in recruiting.
March 16th, 2012
7:43 pm
Can't blame them I guess, but it just drives my disgust for Tenn that much deeper. He is a one and done anyway. He would have been a star at UGA though, with MM at DB!!

Vol4life, I agree with you about Da rick, He seems like trouble just waiting to happen.How much ore time will they give little dooley? The vol offense could be very good this year if you can keep bray and the receivers healthy.

Best "package deal" assistant coaching hire in the last 30 years was Ed Manning at Kansas – worked out pretty well for them. I didn't realize this happened in football as well.

Mark Fox will be toast next year just like Darrin Horn at South Carolina as this year.
March 16th, 2012
8:21 pm
Coach Fox should've hired Sharman White yesterday. It would get him Tony Parker and an actual connection to the state's high school coaches, which is something he really lacks with the good 'ol boys he has as assistants now. I hope someone puts a bug in Fox's ear. We need Parker.
March 16th, 2012
8:25 pm
Package deals happen all the time!! If CRG had not been so lazy, UGA would have had R Nkemdiche close to locked up; his brother should be a red-shirt freshman @ UGA, but UGA was too late to offer!! CRG, c'mon man!! You have such a great area to recruit from, but many times either your too late to offer or not spent enough time w/ the potential recruit!! Lagdawg is so, so correct is saying Coach Rodney Garner has gotten lazy in his job!! Too many high profile recruiting losses. too many guarantees that UGA loses, and too many times, the prospects have said they offered too late!! UGA will not catch up w/ AL or LSU if CRG continues that trend!! I would be furious if I were the AD, but I'm not (so far from qualified!!), so be it!!!

I think if coaches want to do package deals for players knowing how many scholarships they've got, that's their prerogative. However, package deals involving coaches are sleazy ("if you hire me, I'll bring my player along" smacks of ownership), and should be illegal if they can be proven.

I like the Don Leebern package deal. He is married don't have to split 1/2 with her and he lives with Suzanne Yoculan the (I bet still bendy) ex-Gym Dwags coach.

How did UGA secure a commitment by Alec Ogletree by offering Zander? Alec had been commited to UGA for almost a year before UGA offered Zander . Zander is proving his worth also.

There is a difference between "committed" and "signed". Rodgers was "committed" to UGA for a year but he signed with UT at the same time as Nance. Alec signed with UGA at the same time as Zander.

If the Vols needed to hire the JC coach to get Patterson away from Ga then more power to them, but what's with all the Lying about it.
If you feel you need to lie about it, then maby you shouldn't have made the deal in the first place.
It's obvious who young Dooley is emulating, (Saban). If you can't get it done with integrity, then get it done any way you can, right?
Say what you want, but it's obvious that Mark Richt is running one of if not the cleanest program in the SEC.

March 16th, 2012
11:06 pm
He isn't the first package deal nor will he be the last one, but Dooley is fighting for his job. UT never really expected Dooley to be successful, he was hired to be a program manager until the NCAA issues were dealth with, apparently they are and for him to keep his job he needs to win big, but they will struggle to be bowl eligible again and will be fighting UK for 5th in the East. But a question for the UT fans here, will the coach be retained when Patterson leaves for the NFL after this fall?
March 16th, 2012

Paul in NH you can spat all the crap you want. Fact is, is that Alec was all dawg no matter what happened to Zander. Having said that, I have no problem with package deals. I however have a big problem when a school offers the kids coach a job in order to lure that kid to the school. That is about as sleazy as it gets and please don't give me that bull about Patterson commiting before his coach was given a jot at Tennessee. Therefore I have absolutely no problem with calling both Cordarrelle and Brandon Staley a ball face liar.

Plan aims to help Utahns with criminal pasts start anew
By Brooke Adams
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Jan 22 2013 01:01AM
Everywhere Beth Linker turned, a criminal past haunted her.
It came up when she sought a better job and when she tried to volunteer, despite the fact that Linker served a brief prison sentence, completed parole early, and has remained drug- and crime-free for more than 10 years.
Linker tried to get that past swept clean through Utah's expungement process only to be told she was not eligible given the number of her felony convictions for drug-related crimes and an initial failure to complete her first probation.
That's when Linker turned to the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole, which pardoned her crimes in March. But even with that decision in hand, Linker has been unable to clear her record, stymied by a redundant, complicated and expensive process — one Utah lawmakers will look at refining in the 2013 legislative session.
Last session, lawmakers created a committee within the Utah Substance Abuse Advisory Council to study issues related to expungement of drug-related offenses. That group came up with recommendations embodied in HB33, sponsored by Rep. Eric K. Hutchings, R-Kearns.
It would allow a specified number of drug-possession felony and misdemeanor offenses to be eligible for expungement and also clarify that a pardon granted by the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole — which granted 17 pardons in 2012 — has the same legal effect and authority as a court ordered expungement.
"It is certainly a good first step in a direction towards giving opportunity where opportunity is deserved and not having to be so rigid … about who gets a break and who doesn't," said Scott Reid, an assistant attorney general who was co-chairman of the Drug-Related Offenses Expungement Committee.
"This doesn't reduce anybody's sentence," said Santiago Cortez, a past chairman of the Utah Support Advocates for Recovery Awareness and committee co-chairman. "This is for people who do the right thing. … In many cases, we've made thousands of dollars of investments to make these people productive citizens and then when they get to the workforce they have barriers."
A costly, complicated process • The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification receives 700 to 800 applications each month from people seeking to expunge their criminal records. Given that volume, it takes the bureau 10 to 12 weeks to let applicants know if they are even eligible to proceed.
Some crimes can't be expunged, such as capital murder, first-degree and violent felonies, and registerable sex offenses. Utah law also limits by type and number the convictions a person may have to be eligible for expungement and requires any sentence, probation, fine or restitution to have been met. In addition, the law requires a clean record following the last conviction and waiting periods of varying length, depending on the crime, before a person can seek an expungement: 10 years for any alcohol or drug-related offenses, seven years for eligible felonies, and three to five years depending on the classification of a misdemeanor offense.
The proposed bill would create a five-year waiting period for a felony drug offense.
Fees begin to pile up right from the start: There is a $50 application fee and then a charge of $56 per conviction for a certificate saying the crime is eligible to be expunged. A five-page checklist lays out the process applicants must follow; victims, prosecutors, Adult Probation and Parole and judges may all weigh in on whether or not to grant an expungement.
"It's very expensive and it's very difficult," Cortez said.
If a person is denied an expungement, he or she can seek forgiveness from the Board of Pardons.
"It's the last opportunity that is available for somebody who is trying to get their record cleansed," said Jesse Gallegos, a board member who served on the Drug-Related Offenses Expungement Committee. In many cases, "They have remarkably turned their lives around and gone on to receive college degrees and are prohibited from employment in their requisite field because of their criminal records."
The bill would recognize the board's authority to forgive a criminal past, ending what is now a duplicative expungement process and reducing expenses for those who get a pardon.
"We are not changing anything about the process and not changing anything about the crimes we are willing to look at," Gallegos said of the bill.
Pardon not enough • Although Linker, 48, received a full and unconditional pardon, she was nonetheless required to apply to the Bureau of Criminal Investigations and go through the entire expungement process, paying fees and charges at each step.
Linker said there is little uniformity between courts, and the number of forms to complete is overwhelming. Linker said she filled out one set of forms available online at the state-court website, only to be told by both a district court and a justice-court clerk that they had their own preferred forms that she would need to fill out.
Linker hit a financial wall at the courthouse, where she learned she would be charged $179 for each expungement. Linker, who works as a medical biller, applied for a fee waiver, but a judge turned her down.
"At that point I hung my head in defeat," said Linker, who estimates her expenses from start to finish topped $1,500.
She still has not been able to complete the process because she can't afford the court fees.
Aaron Bryant's effort to clear his record was even more costly. Bryant, 30, racked up five criminal cases with multiple charges in each case, most associated with his substance abuse. After spending nearly eight months in jail in 2005, he turned his life around.
Bryant got a job and enrolled in college. He finished an associate's degree, a bachelor's degree in social work and is now working on a master's degree in social work at the University of Utah, which he will complete in August. He also is working on a master's degree in public policy at the U.
Bryant, who wrote a memoir about his life called A Synchronous Memoir of Addiction and Recovery, works full time for the Assessment and Referral Services in the U.'s Department of Psychiatry.
But like Linker, Bryant has found his criminal background hinders his ability to get certain jobs. He turned to the parole board after learning he could not get his record expunged.
"It was my understanding it was kind of a long shot, but I still submitted the application and they agreed to hear my case," he said.
The board granted Bryant a pardon in January. It took him another eight months — and $3,500 — to finish the expungement process.
"It ends up being you are granted a pardon, but then it really doesn't boil down to that," Bryant said. "It is quite a bit more complicated than that. A lot of people weren't even aware that when they gave a pardon there was still so much that had to happen. They kind of assumed that if you were pardoned, you wouldn't have to have judges and prosecutors sign off on them."

QQ Moar...
Shamans get buffed in nearly every single patch in one way or another. I haven't seen a nerf aimed at shamans since I started caring enough to read patch notes in BC. Just in this last patch they added the ability to throw down 4 totems in one GCD.
Also...I don't see rogue, mage, priest, lock, or druid in there... I guess that means we need more buffs too. I wouldn't mind having 7% more HP...
My mistake. I meant to QQ about the need to buff Ret Pallys...
I'm glad you read the article and found where it said there were zero Rogues, Mages, Priests, Warlocks, or Druids represented. I must have missed that part.
Shaman are persistently one of the least played classes in WoW. When a class is powerful, it draws players, when a class isn't powerful, it stays largely unplayed. Shaman had a brief moment of OP before BC, got nerfed to the ground, then have slowly been brought back to balance. The totem change to Shaman was to fix something broken.
So tell me where's the QQ in "saw zero Shamans" - that's just fact. If Shaman are fine, splain that to me Lucy
Lemons: "Shamans get buffed in nearly every single patch in one way or another. I haven't seen a nerf aimed at shamans since I started caring enough to read patch notes in BC. Just in this last patch they added the ability to throw down 4 totems in one GCD."
Allow me to school you then.
Patch 2.2: Shaman got bug fixes including lowering the damage of a lower rank of a spell so it never beat the higher rank, instead of buffing the higher rank... no major nerfs here.
2.3: The great "you resto shaman can go to hell, and we're screwing elemental too..." patch.
All healers get 1/3rd of their +healing as +damage. In the VERY SAME PATCH Shaman get their lightning bolt and chain lightning cast times reduced by 17%. They also nerf a talent deep in the elemental tree so the cast time is not better for elemental. Blues tell us it is a buff and everyone points out that a shaman with +312 damage will end up losing damage from the change in the co-efficient. Blues refuse to believe the math and try weird explanations for calling it a buff. People threaten to find more busses...
The devs cave in and have to manually change the co-efficient to what is was before.
Note that will be important.
2.4 call of thunder loses 1% crit. Rogue stun chance that is a direct comparison recieves no such "bug fix"
Shamanistic rage now can't be dispelled. Yea. Oh and they cut the uptime in half, have a nice day. If the team you needed it against didn't have a dispel, they just got one at the 50% mark for free. 15 seconds is almost stupid. Still is but at least it is a 1 minute cd now...
3.0 Remember that little change in 2.3 with lightning bolt? Yea, they removed the adjustment to spellpower they put in. So same gear shaman lost almost 17% damage. This is at a time when a bunch of classes suddenly got massive increases. The changes to shaman itemization that had str become bad and agility good were addressed on tier gear by taking away the str and adding that much AP. Not agility, AP.
3.1 Sated changed to 10 minutes. Flurry lost 5%.
Yes there was a lot of good things in there. But often the 50% rule hit shaman buffs. It is a change that is 50% buff and 50% nerf, so you don't really get better.
Now take this class and put it in a serious arena competition. Try.
Resto can be interrupted better than any other healer. (Paladins can bubble or hide behind a pillar with a beacon on target healing themselves) This same healer's survival technique removes his mana regen. (earth shield replaces water shield)
Elemental is a turrent and has almost jack all for mobile attacks. Against melee they have a single move with a long cd that doesn't even bother warriors or dks that much. They are pretty much hosed in the mobile fights called arena.
Enhance is a joke in arena. You know any other melee that is told by the experts that the best way to handle another melee is to run? Other melee try to take the initiative and beat the other melee, enhance runs and hopes the healer can keep them alive. If the wolves are on CD, you lost. Those things pack healing, anti-cc, and dps in a ball of ghostly goodness, but without em, the enhance shaman is hoping to beat 2-handers or stunlocks with pure dps from 1 hander and a lucky proc with a 3 second internal CD. I wish rogues had poison have a 3 second shared internal CD...
You can tell shaman to QQ more. Feel free. But when you notice there were NO shaman in that tourney, while the other classes at least showed up, but were not in the final, then you get the clue. No serious arena player bothers with shaman. They are a handicap.
"When a class is powerful, it draws players, when a class isn't powerful, it stays largely unplayed."
Not that I don't agree that shamans need some help in PVP but this statement is flat out wrong. When a class is Powerful AND easy to play, it draws a lot of players.
Lemons your an idiot.
The only thing putting me off making a shaman is the fact that they are a joke in pvp atm, sure in pve i hear they are one of the most fun classes to play.........but pvp is something i do inbetween raids + its fun. If a class just gets pulverised by pretty much every class you would think it would be buffed. Except i have seen shamans BOTTOM of the arena representation from the START of TBC and nothing has changed :(
I hope they change shamans like they changed ret for wotlk, if they make atleast enhance or resto pvp viable (not OP just not bottom of the list) then yea i could definatly see myself rolling a shaman, untill then i just cant see myself sticking with the class.

Romeo's Modern Rustic Room
My Room
Name: Romeo (7 weeks)
Location: Los Angeles, CA
I wanted Romeo's room to have a rustic, vintage yet modern feel to it and I didn't want it to be too "babyish" either. The room has a hip animal theme to it as well.
I chose gray, blue and brown for the color palate and kept everything fairly neutral. The deer head decals are from an Etsy shop and when I saw them I knew they would fit the theme perfectly! We had a friend cut out fun faces in each deer to make them a little more lively.
My husband works at a design studio and as gifts we received two beautiful custom art pieces for his room. I felt so lucky to have such unique art work that really makes his room so special. I also ordered a California chalkboard map and had our friend draw our favorite places to visit in California onto the map. It's a fun and unique room that will hopefully inspire our little man to dream big :)

What a great room for little Romeo. And my daughter has the same crib! How do you like it?
Those faces on the deer are awesome!
I was about to say those deer heads are creepy, but then I saw the cute faces. Well done.

Hi Forum,
My personal laptop is Lenovo THINKPAD T500 2055, and its main specifications are as follows:
- Intel Core 2 Duo processor T9400 (2.53GHz 1066MHz 6MBL2)
- 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Module 4 GB (2 x 4 GB) 1066MHz DDR31066/PC38500 DDR3 SDRAM SoDIMM Kingston.
- 2 GB Intel Turbo Memory hard drive cache.
- ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 with 256MB.
- 160 GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm.
- Windows 7 Ultimate with the latest Service Pack (x64).
My problem precisely and concisely is that I am NOT happy nor satisfied with the performance of my laptop at all, and I need your assitance and advices to boost my laptop's performance.
I feel that my laptop is not fast enough especially when I run the virtual machine (VM) and do some programming work. I am not satisfied nor happy at all with the application load time nor the process response time.
BTW, there's no viruses or malicious software that are affecting my laptop or its memory.
Therefore, I want to improve the performance of my laptop and increase its speed, and I do have some questions:
Q1) Upgrading to Solid-State Drive (SSD):
a. Will SSD really make a great noticible difference in my laptop's performance?
b. What is the best SSD brand or model do you recommend for my laptop?
c. Are there any issues or problems with the SSD and T500?
Q2) Upgrading the CPU:
a. What is the fastest and the most powerful CPU model that is compatible with my laptop specifications?
b. Will the new CPU make a significant noticible difference in my laptop's performance?
c. Are there any issues or problems might occur if I upgraded the CPU?
Q3) Which one do you think has really more significant impact on the laptop's performance: CPU or SSD ? In other words, If I can afford to upgrade only one of them, Which one do you recommend me to upgrade: the CPU or SSD?
Q4) Are there any other suggestions or recommendations you would like to give me please in order to improve the performance of my laptop?
Thanks for your consideration of my request, and I very much look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience !

A. You will very definitely notice the difference.
B, Beats me which one is best (there are hundreds of thousand of post across the internet on that topic) but I am using an Intel 320 Series 160GB drive in a T400 and have been very satisfied with the performance.
C. No
If you install an SSD, remove the Intel Turbo cache, it was never really worth the trouble in the first place..... and is quite useless when you are running an SSD.
Replacing the CPU is up to you, but I wouldn't even think about it until you understand the impact of installing an SSD.
I just got several of these systems that originally shipped with SSD and T9900 cpu. I must say I'm very impressed... not that the specs of your system look slow, they are quite good too, but the T9900 really screams with an SSD drive.
On one hand I'd say go with the upgrade, but you might be better to do what I did and get a complete system because these chips aren't cheap.

Criminal charges against Rod Blagojevich could be changing.
A grand jury is expected to hand up a new indictment, with the underlying accusations staying the same.
The problem is that the Supreme Court may strike down a federal law cited in the original indictment.
Blagojevich is scheduled to go on trial on June 3.
Prosecutors say the new indictment should cause little or no delay.

Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your American Beech.
If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen.
First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width.
Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through.
Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
Next, separate the roots of your American Beech gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole.
The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil.
Then make sure the plant is exactly vertical in the hole.
To make it just right, use a level.
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets.
Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps.
Water your American Beech again after the transplant is complete.
To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each plant to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

University of Washington Alumni Association
Meet. Learn. Cheer. Travel. Act.
Columns Votes - March 2007
Alumni Vote: Who Has More Pride?
In our March Columns alumni vote on who has more pride, we found that both Huskies and Cougars have a lot of devotion to their alma matersand for a few alumni of both schools, perhaps too much. When the voting period expired on March 15, the system was suffering from voter fraud. Over one million votes had been castmore than double the actual alumni population of the two schools.
At that time, the vote was a tie, with 50 percent voting for the Huskies and 50 percent voting for the Cougars. During the balloting, we found that there had been multiple votes cast from the same computer addressesas many as 5,000 votes came out of one computer in one day. The ballot stuffing came at a rapid pace. Sometimes more than 500 votes were cast in 10 seconds.
Both Huskies and Cougars took advantage of computer loopholes to write scripts that cast multiple votes. At noon on March 15, when voting ended, 1,083,703 ballots were cast, with the Huskies getting 542,034 votes and the Cougars getting 541,669. UWAA computer staff estimate that there were between 15,000 and 20,000 valid votes. The rest were votes generated by computer scripts.
Self-selecting polls that use the Web or toll-free numbers are never statistically valid. However, they can give an indication of alumni sentiment. Along with the votes, we received more than 5,000 comments from Huskies and Cougars that have provided valuable insights into why they are proud of their institutions.
Both Huskies and Cougars felt that their student experience was a major factor in how they demonstrated their pride. Going to a diverse, urban school was different from a rural, residential campus, they said.
I believe that the homogeneity of Pullman translates into a sense of sameness among Cougar alumni, which can also be interpreted as pride. The UW, conversely, has a much higher degree of cultural diversity by nature of its setting within a major metropolitan area. While Cougs have all spent time in the same places, walking the same paths in the relatively isolated town of Pullman, Husky grads have taken advantage of all the diverse opportunities that Seattle offersbut they have fewer shared experiences, wrote one Husky.
When you attend WSU, you get to experience the whole going away to college experience and live it up. You are more likely to form lifelong friendships at WSU. The majority of UW students live off campus; once class is over they are off back into the depths of the city away from campus. In Pullman, no matter where you live, you are never more than 10 minutes away from campus. You are more likely to run into friends and colleagues around town, which brings WSU students closer together. Having that type of atmosphere definitely made me feel at home away from home. Like the majority of WSU alumni, when I think of my time at WSU, I think of all the positive experiences I had and the great people I met, which make me proud of being a WSU alumnus, said one Cougar.
The state of Washington is fortunate to have such loyal alumni from two excellent universities, says UWAA Executive Director Chuck Blumenfeld, 66, 69. Both institutions will better understand how they are perceived by their own alumniand those of the other schoolby analyzing these comments.

3. Support the "Students First" initiative
4. Get a UW license plate

The Fundera office moved to Tribeca, and I absolutely love it down here. The buildings around City Hall that I pass on my commute are beautiful to say the least. It is quite the change from the last seven years in Cheslea/Flatiron.
Last night was a Keezy night.
Custom 404 pages for Fundera.
Today, I'm very excited to announce the launch of Fundera.
As most of you may already know, I left my job at GroupMe back in September. My time there affected my life immensely, and leaving definitely deserves blog post in itself, which I will write soon.
For now I'd like to focus on my new endeavor as Head of Design at Fundera, and the product we made public this morning.
Fundera connects you with the best lenders for your small business. Our sole mission is to help small business owners get the capital they need to grow. Let us do the hard work of finding the best and most experienced lenders, so you can get a loan fast and get back to what matters most.

Currently, I'm using the Paper iPad app by 53.
I'm also eagerly counting the days until my Pencil comes in the mail.

Above is a VT220 serial console that I'm now using as a terminal for my MacBook Air at the GroupMe office.
Much credit goes to my spirit animal, JSTN, who not only inspired this project, but was also a huge help during the difficult setup.

I like their food a lot, but the name always sounded dirty to me.
Who's A is the chick filling?
Is it her own or . . . ? . . . and what is she filling it with?
Wait, so we're saying that I missed out on some awful chicken? Damn!
I actually kinda laugh whenever I see a free-standing Chick-Fil-A or Panda Express cause back east these places were only in mall foodcourts and nowhere else ............... and both are terrible but hand out free samples at almost any given time.
