The BYOB strip club fills a very important niche in the strip club market. Because, I mean, we've all been at a traditional strip club, and the wine list is pedestrian. You know, half the whites from California, they're all screw tops and the sommelier couldn't tell a Sancerre from a sandwich. And I'm just sitting there the whole time thinking, 'I have in my cellar at home a 2002 Argentinean Malbec that would go perfectly with that 42-year-old's hysterectomy scars.'

Vogel said he expects that reserve forward Tyler Hansbrough, who sprained an ankle in the second half of Game 5, will be available on Saturday. Andersen, the backup big man who is 15 for 15 from the floor in the series and has made his last 18 shots overall, was suspended Friday night for shoving Hansbrough twice in the second quarter, then not backing away quickly enough for a referee who stepped in.
Dwyane Wade's aching right knee is still limiting him and Chris Bosh's numbers are nowhere near what the Heat would want right now, so the defending champions aren't exactly at their best, either. Still, the Pacers know that the challenge they're facing now — needing to go 2-0 against Miami in a three-day span to get to the finals — is enormous.

"One game at a time," George said. "We have to come home and play a good game. Everybody is going to have to step up and play a huge role. I know in the back of their mind they want to get the job done and be finished. So we're going to have to come out and bring it."
Or else, the Heat will be finals-bound, one more time.
"The close-out game," Heat forward Shane Battier said, "is always the toughest."

CINCINNATI – It was an emotional win for the Cowboys, who squeaked out a 20-19 victory at Paul Brown Stadium. The Cowboys scored 10 points in the final two drives and had other big highlights in the game.
Here are five plays that might go unnoticed, but played a factor in the final outcome.
(Plays listed in chronological order)
Field Goal Attempt – The Cowboys were moving the ball with ease on the first drive and on third-and-1 from the Bengals 19, they went play-action where
Missed Pass to Hawkins – The game was tied 10-10 late in the first half with the Bengals driving with a third-and-3 at the Cowboys' 15. Andy Dalton had Andrew Hawkins open over the middle but missed him on the pass, resulting in a field goal attempt. A touchdown lead would've been big for the Bengals in the long run.
Three Stops Near Goal Line – Here are three plays for the price of one. The Bengals led 13-10 and were looking for a 10-point lead. They appeared to score on Dalton's pass to Marvin Jones, but the officials said he went out of bounds first before the catch, nullifying the score. On the next play, Sensabaugh decked Jermaine Greshman for what appeared to be a touchdown grab. And then on third down, A.J. Green dropped a pass over the middle, forcing the Bengals to settle for a field goal.
Ogletree for Five – On third-and-2 with the Cowboys trailing by nine,
Quick Throw to Witten – This is the one Romo called the play of the game. It was third-and-5 from the Cowboys' 33 with 3:12 to play. It was unclear if they would've punted or gone for the fourth-down conversion. But Romo bought some time and then fired a pass to Witten in between two defenders for a first down at the 42. It extended the drive and led to

Marijuana and Morning Sickness
Guest blogger Jessica Katz: I am one of those unfortunate people who get sick -- very sick -- when pregnant. It's not morning sickness, it's 24-hours-a-day sickness. From the first moment I saw the plus sign until I was in the delivery room, I spent my whole first pregnancy puking.
I was EXTREMELY I'll during my first pregnancy. I'm a very small framed person and lost over 20 lbs in the first trimester alone. I vomited at least 4x an hour when I was awake for 9 months. I took zero meds, used homeopathic remedies and snacked on PB and crackers like nobody's business all day.
I think that the well-being of your unborn child trumps your comfort. Marijuana, medical or not, just has too many risks that could lead to heartache for your child at birth or later on in life.
During my first pregnancy I was hospitalized repeatedly for dehydration due to severe hyperemesis. So I can empathize with what you're going through. Zofran didn't work. Seabands didn't work. Nothing worked. But I was so sick that I told my husband it was a good thing we didn't own a gun and, at that point, I wasn't kidding. It felt like I was being tortured everyday. I couldn't sleep. I'd never even imagined someone could be that sick, let alone experienced it. Did I eventually breakdown and try marijuana? You bet. Did it work? Yes. Do I feel guilty about it? Not a single bit. How are my kids? They have performed above average on all academic measures thus far and have no problems focusing. :)
I just wanted to let you know that marijuana may make your child have a hard time focusing and all of that, but there is a HUGE possibility that your kid will have ADD anyways. Its not like it is that far off to smoke for nausea… Children are BORN w/ ADD everyday, and a little pot is not going to hurt. Like you said HEAVY pot users, you would not be a heavy smoker if you did it once a day or a week in order to feel a little better. As women we put our body through a lot of stuff. Suffering when there is a child inside of you is not good. If you cannot feed your child, because your puking means you are not giving it nutrients, and they take children away from their parents for that too.
I can't imagine the marijuana could be any worse for an unborn child than Zofran.
I smoked marijuanna my entire pregnancy. I had a healthy 7 lb 11 oz boy who is extremely bright and very calm. He is 8 years old now, tests in the upper 75th percentile in school and has NEVER, yes NEVER thrown a temper tantrum in his entire life (even as a toddler). I still smoke a little weed after a long day of work, homework, dinner, bath and bed time for my son. Its my way to relax and calm myself for a good nights sleep.
I was the same way and actually miscarried my first 2 pregnancies, but by the third pregnany I had started smoking marijuana and actually didn't know i was pregnant again until I was 11 weeks along. I smoked with all 6 of my children and they are fine and very intelligent. My oldest is 26 and just completed college not all that ago and is now surgical tech. at a very good hospital and I have 2 more in college now. My 18 year old also graduated high school with high honors and the other 2 are also doing very well in high school. And not to brag but my grandkids are also above average. So I say it's all gotta be politics, why else would they legallize something like alcohol and let the pharmacuetical companies to make things like oxycotin and other highly addictive and deadly drugs? Enough with the testing! It's been proven for centuries upon centuries already.
Oh yeah, and contrary to the beleifs of the non pot smokers, pot IS NOT addictive, at least not until the pharmacy companies get ahold of it and add other stuff to make it that way, kind of like what they do to tobacco! Also, if you don't like to smoke, try eating it. Either by itself or try adding some to your cookie dough before you cook them, but do put them up where your kids can't get at them. Also, certain strains of marijuana help some kids that are autistic with Amazing results.
I am a mother of 7 healthy, happy, smart,beautiful,children. I used marijuana during each and every pregnancy, it relieved me of my nausea and made for a much happier pregnancy. My children are all on the honor roll in school and have had zero side affects! Marijuana is much safer than prescription drugs. I would at least try it.
The irritating part of this article is the blind acceptance of the arbitrary government decree that marijuana counts as "doing drugs," but that other prescription medication does not. There is absolutely no rational reason for marijuana to be illegal, as it is not physically addictive (which "hard" drugs are, as well as nicotine); and cannot be overdosed on (which "hard" drugs can be, as well as alcohol). The only questionable issue during pregnancy is the smoke being inhaled, but based on the small amounts I've read that other severe nausea sufferers needed during pregnancy to relieve their symptoms, this would be minimal; and contraptions for removing the smoke, such as vaporizers, do exist.
I am interested in speaking with women about their use of medical marijuana for morning sickness and hear the benefits and effects. I work for a medical TV show and we are talking about this next week. Email: email@example.com

Frickinâ awesome things here. I am very glad to see your article. Thanks a lot and i am looking forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a mail?
I smoked a hit or two for unbearable morning sickness in my 1st pregnancy. She was an honor student, a well-organized leader, and now she's working on her doctorate.
I am usually not a person to give my story but if it helps someone then here goes, in 1981 I became pregnant with my first child and had the full 24/7 sickness I took the perscriptions for nausea which had unknown in the may cause birth defects so I opted out and decieded to smoke cannabis I still only gained 15 lbs during the 9 mo. but my daughter now 30 years of age with 3 children of her own 4point grade point average college graduate with art hanging in the Smithsonian…has never smoked a cigerette or done drugs of any kind. I belive that there is a plant for every purpose and God put them here for a reason.Education is freedom. I hope this helps.
PS i smoked everyday as needed.
I have to agree with the scientific "facts" and they are that mj does no harm to the fetus in small amounts during pregnancy. I had morning sickness 24/7 and I had high Keytones in my urine meaning my baby was starving to death! I started to take maybe 2 tokes and it would relieve the sickness and enable me to eat real well and healthy.
I was that way with both my pregnancies and they both were tested and in the "Gifted program at school" because they both are in the top 2% of the 5% of the Gifted people. As far as their growth goes they grew just fine especially from mine and their father's genetics combined.
Don't starve the baby and remember what one nausea medicine did back in the day - caused birth defects!
Woah! Those studies would happen to be *slanted* would they. I know tons of moms who have smoked while they were pregnant and their kids turned out fine. Marijuana is a hell of a lot and more effective than Zofran. Your body produces chemicals very similar to the chemicals in marijuana that bind to the same receptors and have a role in how your body manages pain, hunger, and perhaps other things. It should be said that endocannabinoids are not well understood. One study of 1000 mothers found that Alcohol greatly increases the risk of fetal death, that heroin has a moderate risk increase, cocaine has a minor risk increase and marijuana has a protective effect. In any case the stress from constant nausea and vomiting is SURELY more harmful to your baby than marijuana. Talk with your doctor more about this.
I have 3 healthy boys ages 16,10 and 9 mos old. I smoked different amounts of marijuana with each pregnancy. My oldest maintains a 4.0 gpa with devotion to basketball. My middle son well he is "gifted" his intelligence is off the charts. He does wear glasses but I don't feel my marijuana use contributed to that. Obviously my last baby boy is yet to young but so far he has the best temperment and is ahead according to his pediatrician. No allergy issues…been fortunate with minimal flu n colds! I look at marijuana as a natural form of medicine so I guess it depends on your perspective and I have a physician recommendation for medicinal marijuana

Door Number 3 Wins Dallas/Fort Worth Tourism Account
Door Number 3, an Austin-based full-service advertising agency, announced that they, in partnership with Dallas communications strategy firm, The LeMaster Group, won branding and advertising duties for the Dallas/Fort Worth Area Tourism Council (DFWATC) following a formal agency review. The council is a regional marketing association charged with promoting tourism for the entire area.
DFWATC officials said Door Number 3 and The LeMaster Group, can deliver an "insider's approach with an outsider's perspective." Jim Brothers, Chair of the Dallas/Fort Worth Area Tourism Council, said, "We were really impressed by their blend of strategic thinking and creative ideas. Their presentations delivered a room full of nodding heads."
"Our challenge is to make a very large and diverse region of the country feel personalized and accessible," said Door Number 3 Creative Director Prentice Howe. "Every piece of creative thinking we presented was built around this core strategy."
"The web will be a key component of our recommended media mix," said Door Number 3 president M.P. Mueller. "Travelers want to make easy choices that produce memorable experiences."
Jay Burress, of the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau, chairs the marketing committee for the DFWATC. He said a refocused regional campaign will allow for a "collaborative effort that loses the area's geographic boundaries and focuses on all of North Texas."

Actual rating: 2.5 stars
Amazon: Vampire thief Raylene Pendle doesn't need more complications in her life. Her Seattle home is already overrun by a band of misfits, including Ian Stott, a blind vampire, and Adrian deJesus, an ex-Navy SEAL/drag queen. But Raylene still can't resist an old pal's request: seek out and steal a bizarre set of artifacts (penis bones from mythological beasts). Also on the hunt is a brilliant but certifiably crazy sorceress determined to stomp anyone who gets in her way but only because she's on a mission of revenge. But Raylene's biggest problem is that the death of Ian's vaunted patriarch appears to have made him the next target of some blood-sucking sociopaths. Now Raylene must snatch up the potent relics, solve a murder, and keep Ian safe—all while fending off a psychotic sorceress. But at least she won't be alone. A girl could do a lot worse for a partner than an ass-kicking drag queen—right?
Raylene, OCD vampire thief, is tasked to get her hands on some bacula. Simultaneously, one of her good friends Ian is being pulled deeper into vampire politics, and her other good friend's search for his sister has led him to become rather... ghoul-like.
Fun book (like the first in the series), but it's all building action, no climax, no denouement -- and it isn't even a particularly long book! How frustrating not to get to the end of the bacula, the vampire politics, or the sister's story. So, my verdict? Read it, but read it with the next one at hand (which I don't believe is out yet, if it is even planned).
Hellbent is an awful lot of fun. The pace picks up rather during the last half, which left me wanting more, really, and I hope to god there will be more. Soon.
Basically, what I want is for Raylene to get up to more hijinks with the help and connivance of
(I can also complain loudly about nothing happening. I know. Shut up.)
I still love Adrian so much. He's kickass, sexually attractive both in drag and out of it, he's good for Raylene, he's just... Thoroughly capable. I want him and Ian and Raylene to mother-and-father their whole weird household, and preferably get together as a threesome (since Cherie Priest doesn't shy away from having a drag queen as a hero and lesbian relationships in the background, this looks more hopeful than I'd thought).
I'm not feeling Ian, still. Not as a romantic partner for Raylene, anyway. But I could be convinced.
My only problem with the two books is Raylene's narrative voice. Why is she telling this story, and to whom? I don't think there's ever an indication of that, a thing that has bugged me about first person narration ever since Lynn O'Connacht mentioned her pet peeves about it. And while her voice feels realistic with all her digressions and so on, sometimes it starts to feel like filler.
Oh, and she never, ever, asks about what pronouns Adrian would like her to use and when. She seems generally well meaning, but not informed.
This book was a total riot. On Raylene Pendle's second outing, the vampire thief gets contracted to steal a collection of supernatural penis bones. And in case you are cringing at the idea of a completely unironic penis bone search, I assure you that this quest is completely milked for all the jokes you can think of and then some. The wonderfully batshit crazy tone sets this series completely apart from all the other paranormal fantasy series out there.
When I read the first book in the series (that would be Bloodshot), I was rather pleased with the zany cast of characters. Hellbent ups the ante by introducing some more, and it occurred to me that Cherie Priest has done an awesome job of avoiding obvious stereotypes by treating her offbeat characters like normal people. She's got a drag queen, a schizophrenic rocket scientist, a trio of vampires with disabilities (one deaf, one blind, and one with OCD), and two homeless kids, and none of them are a punchline or caricature.
In sum: Awesome fun here, and it's done without being at the expense of a rather diverse group of characters.

The new version of Warden is designed to make it harder to predict exactly what its doing. Who does that hurt? Botters. Who is complianing aobut this?
Follow the Slashdot story back to its source, and you come to a blog related to a program that allows you to hide programs from Warden. Who uses that? Botters.

|Child Custody: Is a custody battle best for your children?
By Anita K. Cutrer
Beware of letting your children get involved in the case through an extended custody tug-of-war -- it will backfire on you.
Look at this time as an adventure and opportunity of trying to improve your parenting skills in order to improve the quality of the relationship you have with your children. Your children simply can't lose in an effort such as this.
1. Conservatorship
In those extreme circumstances which warrant a sole managing/possessory conservatorship arrangement, the sole managing conservator (the "custodial" parent) is the person who is granted all of the rights, privileges, powers and duties of a parent. The possessory conservator (the "noncustodial" parent) has only limited parental rights when he or she has actual possession of the children. There may be some instances when a non-parent may be appointed as a sole managing conservator or possessory conservator, although this rarely occurs in a divorce case. When it does occur, one or more of the grandparents of the children may be appointed as an additional possessory conservator. In addition, there may be more than one possessory conservator with specific rights to possession of the children at certain times.
2. The Court Must Determine the Rights and Duties of Each Parent
The courts also like to allow the primary caretaker to have the overriding say the selection of schools, physicians and the right to direct the moral and religious training of the child or children, after appropriate notice to and/or discussion with the non-custodial conservator.
3. Things are a-Changin'
4. The Court Will Establish a Possession Schedule for Each Party
5. The Best Interest of Your Children
(A) the desires of the child;
The Texas Family Code provides that the court, upon application, shall confer with any child 12 years of age or older and shall consider their desires. Even so, the child's desires do not affect the discretionary power of the court. The decision of the court will still be based on the welfare of the children, which is of paramount importance.
6. Assessing Your Motives
The key to success in this type of case is simply hard work. You are asking the attorney to become a partner with you in this venture. You are asking for emotional commitment, a physical commitment and a time commitment to a demanding case. If your motives are questionable and your commitment is not complete, we will be reluctant to become a part of the effort to seek the primary conservatorship of your children.
7. Parenting is an Extremely Difficult Full Time Job
Take time to consider that primary conservatorship of one, two, or three children is an enormous responsibility. It is much easier to visit your children every other weekend than to see your children on a day-to-day basis, feed them, clean them, be with them when they're sick, nudge them about their grades, have the economic responsibility of their care, maintain the house, as well as, perhaps, holding down a full time job. It is neither an easy job nor a small one. It's a job you really have to want.
8. Create a Win-Win Situation for Your Children
Keep in mind, there is nothing wrong with discovering you should not be the primary conservator. There is certainly nothing wrong with admitting you were wrong as long as you love your children and want the very best for them. Why spend thousands of dollars in a custody fight that you cannot win or that you should not win, even if you could? That money would be better spent for the benefit of the children. You must be honest with your attorney, and your attorney must be honest with you. If you decide somewhere along the line you do not want to pursue this fight, you must tell us. Correspondingly, if there's a time when we think that you do not have a chance to succeed, we promise to tell you.
Making Your Case for Primary Conservatorship
A contested custody battle should be your last resort.
1. Personal Assessment as a Parent
2. Paint a Picture of Your Children's Relationship with Each Parent
3. Get Involved with Your Children
It is important to determine what activities your children will enjoy with you. If you require them to perform activities that they find unpleasant, they will look upon the time spent with you as unpleasant. That is counter-productive.
The expenditure of funds in entertaining children is often necessary, but not essential. Try not to be subject to the criticism that you're trying to buy the favor or your children. The money you spend should be on things other than material possessions for the children.
Children tend to use parents against each other during a lengthy custody proceeding. Do not allow your children to put you in a position where you are in a spending war with
4. Know Your Child's School and Activities
How much do you really know about your children? We intend to find out. For example, what size dress does your daughter wear? What size shirt does your son wear? Who is your daughter's music teacher? Who is your son's assistant principal? What is your daughter's favorite color? What is your son's favorite ice cream? You should know the answers to all of these questions. If you don't, you should work on your knowledge of your child's life. As a part of the process of preparing for this case, you are going to learn about those things, and retain them so that you have the ability to testify in court as to those facts. You should be able to talk about your son's best friend, your daughter's boyfriend, if she has one, and what things your children like about their various friends. The only way you can find out those things is to spend time, individually, with each child, talking to them, but not interrogating them.
5. Be Able to Communicate to the Court about Your Relationship with Your Children
When asked to describe their children, most people do a terrible job. They have a difficult time doing much more than saying, "He's a great kid". You should make the judge believe your child is "a great kid" by helping the judge understand and visualize him.
You have to remember that the judge who hears your case has heard hundreds of cases. You have to humanize yourself and your children so the judge can see that the names on the paper represent people who are alive, children who are real and people who care about and love those children. You should practice describing your children. Think of their imagination, sense of humor, or sensitivities. Write down those qualities. Then describe those qualities aloud.
6. Keep a Journal of Events
As noted before, you also need to keep a record of the time you spend with your child. Your record should reflect the times you have with your child, or in some cases, the times you did not have. Such a record will be a quick reference for you and your attorney in determining if visitation privileges are being carried out.
7. Look for the Best from Your Spouse as a Parent as Well
8. If a Social Study Investigation is Required, Cooperate Fully with the Investigator or Case Worker
Change of Custody on a Temporary Basis in a Modification
In a modification, the court may not render a temporary order if the effect is to change the designation of a sole or primary joint managing conservator appointed in a final order unless it is necessary because:
Change of Custody on a Final Basis in a Modification
In a final trial, the standard for making an order that has the effect of changing the primary caretaker is somewhat easier than on a temporary basis. However, the Courts do not like to make major changes without cause, so be ready to clearly prove the following:

I use an addon called tidy plates that will show a cast bar on your current target on their nameplate, as well as details such as an HP bar and the enemy's current target, on all enemies within range. You do need to have name plates on (v key) for this to work. I personally can't live without it.
Is there an addon that will show cast bars for an enemy you're NOT targeting, or otherwise tell you that someone, somewhere is casting a spell you might want to interrupt (via reading the combat log, perhaps?) I know that you can if you set the enemy as focus, but I usually focus the tank as dps or healer (or the healer as tank) so various other macros work properly.

If you watch your target's spellbar, anything that CANNOT be interrupted will have a shield icon on the end of the cast bar. Everything else is interruptable.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly believes the 22nd-ranked Fighting Irish showed signs against Michigan State of the defense resembling the squad that was so dominant last season.
Kelly said during a teleconference Sunday following Notre Dame's 17-13 victory over the Spartans that the Irish played better along the defensive line, among the linebackers and more physical play overall.
He says the biggest improvement, though, was the Irish focused on doing their jobs and not trying to do the jobs of others. He says that was a point the coaches stressed heading into the game. He says the coaches expected more from the players and got it as the Irish defense held the Spartans to 254 yards total offense.
Notre Dame's next opponent is No. 14 Oklahoma (3-0).

Strathnairn Arts is a not-for-profit arts association supported by the ACT Government that provides working spaces and facilities for a range of artists and crafts people and community groups.
Strathnairn Arts is on the north-western rural outskirts of Canberra. Located 900 metres past the Magpies Belconnen Golf Club turnoff, it is a facility which has been used by artists for decades but remains one of Canberra's best-kept secrets.
The property was originally part of a land grant awarded to 19th century explorer Charles Sturt. In the early twentieth century it became a mixed working farm until the lease was resumed in 1974. In the 1979 it was allocated to the arts group Blue Folk with Dominic Mico as Director, who produced community arts programs for children and adults.
The organisation became the Brindabella Arts Community in 1984 and struggled. Alan Watt, then the head of the Ceramics workshop and ANU School of Art was approached to set up studios on the property with the idea of providing opportunities for the best young artists to remain in Canberra. Almost 20 years ago Michael Sainsbury (resident Manager/Caretaker) set about cleaning up and restoring the buildings and developing the kilns, ultimately offering a diverse range of firing options to potters.
Strathnairn Arts has grown into a strong community of artists working in diverse mediums. Painters, sculptors, potters, textile artists, printmakers, wood workers and installation artists have been very fortunate to have this unique rural setting as their base.
The Strathnairn Homestead Gallery features regular exhibitions of woodwork, photography, sculpture, glass, textiles, ceramics and mixed media. Adjacent to the gallery is a small shop which displays and sells a range of works each weekend.
Strathnairn Homestead Café serves a selection of light lunches and delicious homemade cakes. Wood fired pizza is also available every Sunday (weather permitting). Please call 0448 259 901 to make a booking.
In the last few years Strathnairn has developed an exciting Artist in Residence program, which continues to enhance the artistic working environment at Strathnairn and to encourage greater involvement of members and the public through workshops, exhibitions, demonstrations and other activities.
Each November, the Strathnairn Arts Association holds its Annual Members Exhibition in the gallery, showcasing the work of members. A full program of exhibitions runs throughout the year.
Objectives of the Association
- To encourage and support artists and craftspeople in their continued practice.
- To provide studio facilities and work environments which will enable Association members to continue working.
- To promote the activities and reputation of the Association and its individual members through exhibitions, demonstrations, lectures, writings and seminar/conference participation.
- To encourage general public interest and involvement in the arts through workshops, exhibitions, demonstrations, and other activities.
- To invite artists to participate in the activities of the Association in order to enhance the vitality of an artistic working environment and the reputation of the Association.

Are you:
If you answered "yes" to all three, you may be interested in the Ancient Order of Hibernians in America. Besides being the oldest Catholic, lay organization in the country, the "A.O.H." is the largest Irish, fraternal organization in the world.
The A.O.H. originated in Ireland during the dreaded days of the "Penal Code" imposed by Oliver Cromwell. Our organization began by protecting the lives of Ireland's priests - ensuring the preservation of our Faith. This tradition was continued by Irish immigrants as they faced the hardships of assimilating to the then Protestant culture of early America.
Today, the A.O.H. is still promoting the Catholic faith and the culture of Ireland. As well as thriving on the National and State levels, the A.O.H. is alive and well here in Rochester.
American men, 16 years of age or older who are practicing Catholics of Irish birth or descent are eligible for admission into The Ancient Order of Hibernians in America, Inc.

Dallas, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/09/2013 -- ReportsnReports.com adds "Healthcare Analytics/Medical Analytics Market – Trends & Global Forecasts to 2017 " new market research report to its store.
Healthcare organizations have large amounts of data but often do not have the tools to bring the data together for useful business information and planning. Healthcare analytics is the systematic use of data and related business insights developed through applied analytical disciplines such as, statistical, contextual, quantitative, predictive, cognitive, other including emerging model to drive fact-based decision making for planning, management, measurement and learning. Analytics may be descriptive, predictive or prescriptive.
Healthcare analytics involves application of statistical tools and techniques to healthcare-related data in order to study past situations such as operational performance or clinical outcomes to improve the quality and efficiency of clinical and business processes and performance.
The healthcare analytics market is showing a double-digit growth due to supportive elements such as digitization of world commerce, the emergence of big data and the advance of analytical technologies. Healthcare organizations can differentiate themselves through data analytics. Factors such as, federal healthcare mandates, wide scope of predictive analytics and improvements in the financial and operative function are driving the installation of healthcare data analysis in hospitals. While, the major concerns of this market are the security of data, privacy of individual patients and lack of manpower with cross-functional analytical skills. The healthcare analytics market is estimated to be $3.7 billion in 2012 and is growing at a rate of 23.7% from 2012 to 2017 to reach $ 10.8 billion.
Healthcare payers as well as the providers are leading the users of health care analytics for a range of functions from suggesting the most accurate diagnoses, cost reduction, fraud prevention, revenue generation, service improvement to real-time view of the business. The major driver for business analytics is the return on Investments (ROI), with a median of five years, from 10.0% to 1,000.0%.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) offers incentives for hospitals and physicians who adopt technology and document related to patient safety, coordination, and quality of care. Data analytics tools are becoming an attractive purchase for decision makers, even in an economic climate forcing hospital budget cuts, layoffs and closures.
Healthcare Analytics provides several benefits across payers and providers, which are expected to increase, as the healthcare data analytics market is still in the nascent stages. In addition, as the analytics penetrates the Asian market there would be niche benefits, which would be discovered, based on the needs.
The healthcare analytics market is a well-established market in the U.S. It is showcasing double-digit growth compared to other healthcare IT market. The European market is the second largest market, growing at a lower rate due to the economic crisis. The Asian market is relatively new to the healthcare data analytics, however, the increasing initiatives and outsourcing will drive the market. Australia and New Zealand are developed market in terms of healthcare IT, and are setting an example for the use of healthcare data analytics.
The major players in the market are Verisk (U.S.), Medai (U.S.), MedeAnalytics (U.S.), Optum Health (U.S.), Truven Health (U.S.), McKesson (U.S.), Cerner (U.S.) and other larger players such as IBM (U.S.), Oracle (U.S.).

Seen on a building in West #London. #nofilter
Seen post-running this morning.
1 year ago on July 04, 2013 at 07:52pm with 2 notes
Via williamjh
So, here is what I've been up to for the past couple days. Sorry for keeping you all at bay with photos from my phone, but now I have access to a computer with a camera card reader on it, so I can upload bigger and better images.
On Wednesday, after I arrived at Gatwick Airport, I took the train into London Victoria Station, where I changed to the tube to reach my friend Dan's house. Dan's family lives out in Chiswick, a charming suburb of west London with a busy high street and a lot of Greenspace. This morning I mailed a couple post cards from the Chiswick post office, which gave me the opportunity to walk past Turnham Green, a large public park that was the site of a battle during the English Civil War. Walking past a place whose claim to fame occurred more than a hundred years prior to the American Revolutionary War on July 4th really makes America look young.
In addition to green space, Chiswick has just about everything you could ask for in a suburb community: shops, a few restaurants with character, and—of course—a good local pub. Last night after dinner, Dan and I went down to the Tabard for drinks. Following my grandfather's advice to "order a pint of bitter," I had a nice English-style ale, served as God intended (i.e.: 50–55℉ and fermented naturally, without the assistance of carbon dioxide from the tap). I'm too used to being bowled over by the strong flavors present in American craft beers, so I think I need to drink more cask ale to appreciate it, but I did enjoy my pint.
Yesterday afternoon, Dan and I went into central London to do some sightseeing. First up was the Tower of London, where the Yeoman Warders (known better as Beefeaters) give wonderfully entertaining tours. Its amazing how much living history England possesses, and by being one of London's most prominent tourist sites, the Tower is perhaps the best example. Elizabeth I was the first monarch since the Tower's construction not to have used it as a residence—probably from the bad memories of being imprisoned there for a year by her half-sister Mary I. Nonetheless, despite the Tower's diminished importance, it's formal name remains Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, and the Yeoman Warders are all retired military officers with distinguished records. Also, the Tower is the home to the Crown Jewels, and its role as a prison didn't end until the 1950s. Far from an ancient historical site, the Tower continues to play a role in the British state, no matter how diminished that role may be.
After we left the Tower, Dan and I walked along the south bank of the Thames to the Tate Modern. On the way, we passed through some of the eclectic streets of Southwark, where architectural styles clash and trains run over head while Borough Market bustles bellow (where I got coffee with another friend this afternoon). However, by the time we got to the Tate Modern, I was quickly succumbing to the effects of not having slept on the flights to England. After viewing the paintings and installations on the first floor, we hightailed it back to Chiswick where I took a nap before dinner and the aforementioned pub visit.
Today, I woke up early to go for a run, and after a late breakfast, Dan and I went to the British Museum. As much as I wanted to see the Reading Room at the center of the Museum, it was playing host to a special exhibition on Pompeii which cost some twenty pounds to get into, so instead we contented ourselves with viewing some of the other antiquities, particularly those in the East and South Asian galleries, the Rosetta Stone, and the Elgin Marbles. All controversy surrounding the latter two exhibits aside, it was really quite amazing to see these artifacts up close.
After leaving the British Museum, we went to have afternoon tea in the area. I had a pot of Oolong Tea with my Parma ham and arugula sandwiches, a scone with fruit marmalade, and a delicious lemon cake to finish it off.
I'm beginning to feel like I'm going to fall asleep in my chair, so that's all for now. Tomorrow, I'm going to Eastbourne to hike along the top of Beachy Head, so expect photos of chalk cliffs and the English Channel.
I went to the post office here in Chiswick to mail two cards to AMUR'CA (Happy 4th, everyone!). These are some things I saw on my way back.

Good morning Ireland! I took this photo from the international arrivals level of Dublin Airport's Terminal 2 (at the far left you can see the left wingtip of our plane). I'm here transferring to a flight to London Gatwick Airport. We landed at 4:50, so the airport is just beginning to come to life. In a precisely opposite manner, I'm just beginning to feel tired since it's just now passing midnight in New York. In the grand scheme of trips I've taken—12 hours to Beijing; 8 hours driving to Northern Michigan; 37 hours on a train from Shanghai to Kunming—our 6 hour flight from New York to Dublin is short, and I didn't end up sleeping for any of it. When I couldn't fall asleep after dinner, I ended up finishing Peter Hessler's excellent book *Country Driving* and then flipped through *Lonely Planet* until we began our descent into Dublin.
Whoops, posted this on the wrong blog!
EDIT: Haha, I'm actually pretty sure now that the plane on the right of this picture is my ride to London now that I'm at the gate and taking a closer look at the angle.
I'm about to board Aer Lingus Flight 104, the first of two flight I have to take to get to London. (Damn the lack of inexpensive direct flights!) Next time you hear from me I will be on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
God I hope not, but I just Wikipedia'd him and the Koch Bros. and I don't think there's any relation. CRAFT BEER REMAINS UNTARNISHED*, GUYZ

Bacsinszky Wins First Tour Title
Published October 25, 2009 12:00
LUXEMBOURG, Luxembourg - Timea Bacsinszky had never made a Sony Ericsson WTA Tour final before but in her first she performed brilliantly, taking out Sabine Lisicki in straight sets for the BGL Luxembourg Open crown.
Bacsinszky's best career results on the Tour before this week were four semifinals, two last year and two earlier this year. So, unseeded and going into her semifinal match here against the red hot Yanina Wickmayer, things didn't look great for her. But the Swiss fought hard to snap the No.5 seed's eight-match winning streak in a photo finish on Saturday, 36 62 75.
Lisicki, the No.6 seed, was just as daunting on paper, some phenomenal results this year at some huge events - winning Charleston, the quarterfinals of Wimbledon - putting her as the clear favorite. And the big-serving German had just survived a gritty encounter against one of the toughest competitors in the game, former Top 15 player Shahar Peer, in the semifinals a day earlier.
Bacsinszky came out firing in the final, winning the first four games in a row and staying on serve from there to take the first set, 6-2. The second set stayed on serve until 4-4 when Bacsinszky broke again for 5-4 and a chance to serve for the title. Lisicki broke back but was again broken herself, then lost, 62 75.
"I'm really happy with the way everything went today. I played in a smart way and just went for it. I wasn't nervous at all," Bacsinszky said. "It's great to win my first title. I don't think I've realized what it means for me yet. For now I just want to stay focused because I have another tournament next week."
"Timea played well. My leg was hurting a bit but I still tried to fight. I rushed too much today and I could tell that I was tired from my semifinal," Lisicki said. "I didn't take my chances but you can always learn from something like this."
Bacsinszky also launched her official website, www.timea-b.com, on Sunday.
Two of the biggest stars of the women's game started the week but neither made it out of the early rounds. Caroline Wozniacki, the top seed, was forced to retire in her first round match with Luxembourg's Anne Kremer due to a left hamstring strain; Kim Clijsters, playing for the first time since her dream US Open run and the No.2 seed here, lost to Patty Schnyder in the second round.
"I felt good going into the match, but the injury suddenly happened," the 19-year-old Wozniacki, ranked No.6 in the world, said. "Sometimes injuries are unpredictable. I was looking forward to playing here and doing better than I did last year, and I'm sad this happened today and I had to retire."
"Patty played extremely smart today. It's tough to force errors on her and break through her game," Clijsters said. "I made more errors and my first serve wasn't working the way I would have liked it to. I had my chances in the first set and I tried to fight through. It's disappointing when you're not playing your best."
Czechs Iveta Benesova and Barbora Zahlavova Strycova won the doubles title earlier in the day with a 16 60 107 win over fellow Czechs Vladimira Uhlirova and Renata Voracova, taking five straight points from 5-7 in the match tie-break to seal their second title as a team, having won Stockholm last year. Benesova and Zahlavova Strycova now have five Tour doubles titles each.

Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was the architect of Indian Constitution.
He was born on 14 April 1891 at Mahu near Indore in Madhya Pradesh in a low caste family of harijan.
His father's name was Shri Ramji Sukhpal and his mother's name was Bhimabai.
He was brilliant from his childhood. Dr. Ambedkar received his early education in a nearby village school.
He had to suffer every moment due to his caste.
Dr. Ambedkar was married at an immature age of fourteen with Ramabai.
He joined Alfinston College, Bombay and obtained his degrees there.
The Maharaja of Baroda was highly impressed with his talents and he awarded him scholarship for further studies
In 1916, he obtained the postgraduate degree in Economics.
In England he received the degrees of M.Sc., D.M.S. Law and Ph.D.
His caste, however, always stood in his way. Then he started practicing law. Now his main concern was to fight against untouchability.
Ambedkar was deeply hurt at the differential treatment meted out to the harijans.
His major victory was to seek the right to fetch water from the tank.
In 1930, he represented the untouchables in the Round Table. As a result of his efforts the harijans were granted reservations of seat in the election.
He is rightly called the Founding Father of Indian Constitution.
Dr. Ambedkar died on 6th December 1956.
He was honoured with Bharat Ratna posthumously—the highest civilian award of India.

Owner/friend Cruz Salinas was in need of an identity for his business as well as help with such things as a store sign, graphics, flyers and more. He expressed his needs for something minimal and simple. With the opportunity of this much creative freedom I'm more than proud to be the graphic designer for Plainview and looking forward to the upcoming projects we have planned.

I agree with fixing Blink.
I agree with fixing Blink.
For teleports, well if mages can go anywhere, what's the point of mounts?
Also anticipating Mirror Image, I wonder what the clone abilities would be: whether the same or arcane/fire/frost (Telestra in the Nexus)??
But familiars I don't think would work in WoW when Blizz split the concept of a magic-user between having/not having a pet (warlock and mage). They would be neat, but having any buffs will encroach upon on what makes the warlock unique (summoning a permanent magic pet). There is JC for some familiar-like stuff, although temporary.

a bit tasteless
Just doesn't have the spicy kick you expect. Bland. Texture too chewy
20 September 2014
Tasteless and too thick
It's too thick so the texture is chewy rather crispy. A bit too oily and bitter. Definitely not what I'm looking for.

Awful. Just terrible compared to the unearthed pepperoni you just discontinued. Please bring it back quickly.

Dare to be Digital winners announcedPosted onAugust 17, 2012
Dare to be Digital winners announced
The three BAFTA-nominated winners of Dare to be Digital were revealed at the climax of Abertay University's international student game design competition.
A record-breaking audience played the 15 games over three days at the free Dare ProtoPlay games festival in Dundee.
The three games who now compete for the exclusive BAFTA 'Ones to Watch' award at the 2013 BAFTA Video Games Awards are:
– Starcrossed, for Windows Phone 7 by Kind of a Big Deal (team leader Kimi Sulopuisto, Petri Liuska, Andrew MacLean, Minttu Meriläinen, Vili Viitaniemi)
– Pixel Story, for PC by Loan Wolf Games (team leader Martin Cosens, Luke Harrison, Ashley Hayes, Thomas McParland, Benjamin Rushton)
– Project Thanatos, for PC and virtual reality headset by Raptor Games (team leader Hugh Laird, Andrew Coles, Tom Kemp, Tom Laird, Alexandra Shapland)
Kimi Sulopuisto from Kind of a Big Deal said: "This is the biggest thing I've achieved in my life. I'd absolutely encourage anyone looking to make their own games to enter Dare to be Digital – you've nothing to lose, and you could win so much."
Martin Cosens from Loan Wolf Games said: "This is absolutely amazing. For anyone wanting to make games, I'd say don't hesitate, just do it. Don't let anyone curb your ideas or hopes, as things like this can happen – you can get into Dare to be Digital, and get nominated for a BAFTA."
Hugh Laird from Raptor Games said: "We were hoping and praying we'd get nominated for a BAFTA – it really justifies nine weeks of hard, hard work. And we didn't expect to win the audience award, which is just the icing on top."
Johnny Minkley, BAFTA Games Committee member and Dare judge, said: "I'm hugely impressed with the standard of all the games on show and the professionalism and passion of all the Dare to be Digital teams.
"It was a hard choice for the judges, but all three BAFTA nominees are strong games and very different games. It will be a really tough decision for the judges to pick the final BAFTA winner at the Video Games Awards next March."
Loan Wolf Games were also the winners of the brand new £25,000 Channel 4 prize. They will now be funded and supported to complete their game for a full commercial release.
Raptor Games also won the public vote for the Intel Visual Computing Tools Audience Award, with each team member receiving an Intel Ultrabook.
Kind of a Big Deal were supported to take part in Dare to be Digital by the Scottish Government as this year's Nordic competitor, as were the Chinese and Indian teams.
Professor Louis Natanson, who leads computer games education at Abertay University, said: "The entrants to Abertay University's Dare to be Digital get better and better every year, and all 15 teams have done something incredible – built a professional, playable and exciting game in just nine weeks.
"The BAFTA-nominated winners – Kind of a Big Deal, Loan Wolf Games and Raptor Games – stood out from the tough competition for their exceptional game design, playability and commercial appeal, but all 15 teams have the experience now to enter the games industry or start their own businesses.
"We look forward to seeing, and playing, many successes from them in the future."
This year's Dare ProtoPlay festival was also expanded to include Dare Indie Fest, a conference for budding entrepreneurs and a showcase of games from independent companies.
Dare Indie Fest was presented by the Abertay Prototype Fund, which provides grants of up to £25,000 to small and startup games companies.http://prototypefund.abertay.
Over 40 games were available to play for free throughout the Dare ProtoPlay weekend, including the 15 student games and new titles from independent game developers from across the UK and as far afield as Romania.
Continued Scottish Government support of £85,700 enabled teams from China, India and Finland to take part in Dare to be Digital this year. Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop officially opened the Dare ProtoPlay festival.
Support from EventScotland enabled Dare to be Digital to expand into the City Square marquee.
The event was also supported by Ukie, Dundee City Council and Interactive Tayside.

Dare to be Digital 2012 – the race for a BAFTA begins
The race for the unique BAFTA 'Ones to Watch' award begins today with the launch of Dare to be Digital 2012, the world-leading computer game design competition for students.
15 teams of five students have to build a brand new game in just nine weeks. All the games go on show to thousands of members of the public at the free Dare ProtoPlay computer games festival on 10-12 August in Dundee's Caird Hall.
Hosted and run by the University of Abertay Dundee, Dare to be Digital gives exceptionally talented students a life-changing opportunity to be mentored by games industry experts – and to take the stage at the BAFTA Video Games Awards as winners.
Professor Louis Natanson, who leads computer games education at Abertay University, said: "This year's Dare to be Digital is shaping up to be the best ever. Competition to even get into the contest has been incredibly intense, with over 100 teams applying from 13 different nations.
"The 15 teams have a major challenge ahead of them – to build a game to put on show to thousands of members of the public at our free video games festival, Dare ProtoPlay, in August. We wish them every luck because this is a very tough, but very rewarding, challenge as they look to start careers in the games industry."
The 75 student finalists will receive mentoring from members of Dare's Developer Accord, hugely respected games companies with global reach: Blitz Games Studios, Codemasters, Cobra Mobile, Denki, Digital Goldfish, Jagex, Outplay Entertainment, Rare, Ruffian Games, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Ubisoft.
Professor Natanson added: "We're delighted at the strong support our partners in the games industry continue to show for Dare to be Digital and our free Dare ProtoPlay computer games festival.
"The students who start Dare today have a very good chance of being hired by some of the most exciting, most successful games companies in the world. We look forward to seeing their finished Dare games – as well as great, great things from them in the future."
The games are developed for a wide range of platforms: Android tablet, iPad, iPhone, PC, PlayStation Vita, Smart Goggles, Xbox 360, Xbox Kinect and Windows Phone 7.
Last week the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop confirmed the Scottish Government's continued support for Dare to be Digital, with £85,700 enabling teams from China, India and Finland to take part this year.
The full list of nations represented at Dare to be Digital 2012 is: China, England, Finland, India, Ireland, Israel, Scotland and Spain.
Dare to be Digital runs from Monday 11 June for nine weeks, with the Dare ProtoPlay computer games festival open to the public from Friday August 10 to Sunday August 12 in Dundee's Caird Hall. Last year saw over 9,000 people of all ages – from toddlers to grandparents – enjoying the fun-packed weekend.
At Dare ProtoPlay three winning teams are announced, who become the sole nominees for the BAFTA 'Ones to Watch' Award, a category created specifically for Dare to be Digital.

Bill, named after Clemson child born with congential heart defect, requires birthing facilities to give every newborn child a pulse oximetry test.
A bill designed to help facilities detect problems with the lungs and hearts of newborns that ultrasounds may miss has been signed into law.
Governor Nikki Haley joined with Senator Alexander, representatives from the American Heart Association, and Emerson Rose's parents, Jason and Susan Smith of Clemson, Wednesday in a ceremonial bill signing for S.341, the Emerson Rose bill. S.341 requires birthing facilities in South Carolina to perform a pulse oximetry test on every newborn child between 24 and 48 hours of life.
Sen. Larry Martin, R-Pickens, was a co-sponsor of the bill.
He said the inexpensive test uses cord blood to make sure the newborn's lungs and heart are healthy.
"It's a simple test, and from that simple test, it can detect a heart defect you would otherwise not know about in an infant," Martin said. "Upon birth, they would do just a minor blood test with the cord blood. Very easy to do, but it can really save an infant's life, if they know that the defect exists. Otherwise you don't know until the baby dies. That's just one of the things that came out of the unfortunate, unexpected death of an otherwise healthy baby."
Emerson Rose Smith was born with a congenital heart defect and passed away only 76 days after she was born.
Susan and Jason Smith vowed raise awareness and money to fight congenital heart defects and established the Emerson Rose Heart Foundation, in memory of their daughter.
"They're a wonderful couple," Martin said. "They had researched this. Some other states had done it, and they wanted to do this in memory of their child who died. I thought it was a wonderful idea."
"While I am blessed to be a governor, I am also blessed to be a mom and this bill pulls on my heart," said Gov. Nikki Haley. "Due to Jason and Susan Smith's dedication to making a difference and the action we are taking today, Emerson Rose's name is going to live on and positively influence the health of babies across the state."
Performing a pulse oximetry test can give caregivers insight into the lungs and heart of newborns and head-off complications not detected by ultrasound.
The Emerson Rose bill continues Gov. Haley's commitment to keeping South Carolina's babies healthy – from improved access to care for expecting mothers, to reducing elective pre-term deliveries, to ensuring that expecting mothers with drug or alcohol problems get the treatment they need.
The bill unanimously passed the House and Senate.
