"But I played safely, within myself, not taking too many risks. I knew he is a player who, if things are going well for him, can be very strong."
"I knew he was playing better than I was and I expected this kind of tough match, ... I could have won in straight sets but didn't, but mentally I think I was strong today and I was very consistent."
"It was very hot and humid out there and I started badly, my legs were a bit weak when we finished the first set."
"It isn't going to be easy, but we come here to win. Who knows how difficult it is going to be playing Australia on grass, but we have to accept it."
"I played well. I'm feeling good about my game. I had to play two matches in a day this week due to the rain, so I'm glad to be fresh for the final."
"It was a close match and then three minutes later it was over, ... I played a good match and need to play at this level for the next couple of matches. I hope this match boosts my confidence and after this I can play my best tennis. Sooner or later I know I'm going to play well again so I hope it's here."

Mexico...safe or dangerous? Where's the truth?
... Just try doing it without signs or GPS and you'll see how unending it can be.
Our GPS that gets us so safely through Phoenix and San Antonio could just as well be used as a door stop down here. It has a smattering of locations--just enough to fool novices like us into thinking it would be all we'd need.

it would have taken up a good portion of the day. But a comfortable bus ride is

If you are like me this morning, you are finding out that the Chargers struck a deal with WR Robert Meachem late last night. They signed him to a 4-year deal for $25.9 million with $14 million in guarantees.
Meachem will immediately jump in the starting lineup and take over the spot that Vincent Jackson vacated. Meachem will start opposite of Malcom Floyd and Vincent Brown will be the guy in the slot.
Meachem has never started more than 8 games, so this will be his opportunity to see more playing time. I think he will do well with Philip Rivers throwing him the ball and in Norv Turner's offense. I guess he won't be wearing number 17 anymore.
Meachem will be a big time deep threat which will open up the underneath routes for Antonio Gates. Either Gates will be open or you hit Meachem over the top.

NPC faces Refined/RevampedJun 1, 2013 Skin Pack 0 comments
The primary tester/suggester/advertiser for Integration has also taken up refining the faces some. Phoenix1213 has created two additional options in changing...
A Quest For Understanding: The Last Beacons of Hope
While we all enjoyed Oblivion, I think we can all agree that there was something missing from the formula. Choices and Consequences, memorable and interesting characters, quest diversity,more than one perspective, and a multitude of RPG elements. However with this mod there exists these beacons of light. They may be hidden by adversity, politics, stereotypes, fear, and hatred but.... If you can find these beacons and nurture their growth you can bring the light of diversity, intrigue, emotion, and understanding back to Cyrodiil!
This is a quest mod which takes elements from lore, past elder scrolls games, and quality western RPGs to bring you a completely new and improved questing experience!
1: Proper implementation into your game world. No giant buildings suddenly popping up in populated areas of cyrodiil, no sudden quest updates, no NPCs hunting you down to tell you about some grand opportunity. This mod will have no immediate impact on your world, there are countless things for you to do in this mod, but they are all for you to discover... not be forced on you.
2: New join-able guilds with quests and advancement systems unlike any other Oblivion guild.
3: More than 15,000 lines of dialogue
4:New, and interesting characters to meet, and develop alongside through dialogue, quests, and their reactions to both. Also we understand that aesthetics important like dialogue and gameplay; as such seeing as how the mod centers around the characters you meet we offer several facial options so you can customize your new friends and enemies to your liking.
5:Massive replayability thanks to a very non-linear and responsive quest and story structure.
6: Dozens of quests with diverse objectives, and ways to achieve them so the mod remains fresh all the way through, and even after.
The Shivering Isles DLC. Nothing else!
The topic for the non-integrated version
Possible isolated plugins with their own unique features and expansions on story/characters
Details, and background of features
Version 1.0 has been released as 4-11-11, with this the mod is finished, any further updates will be bug fixes, isolated add-ons, or technical updates.
In total, Integration: The Stranded Light offers more than 80 quests, five guilds, although of course not all quests are part of guilds. Additionally a whole lot of features, that will enhance Cyrodiil greatly.
An important aspect of Integration: The Stranded Light is discovery. A lot of mysteries and surprises are waiting for you to be found and solved. Over eighty quests. Five guilds, of which two are in direct conflict with each other. Choices and consequences. Very dialog heavy, including dialog trees, arguing and a lot more you won't see in Vanilla Oblivion. Use of the "Telvanni Tileset" and other resources for some unique places. The riddle of a lost city will play a role.
Changing the face of Cyrodiil sounds easy - just take a look at the smoldering ruins of Kvatch. How about changing the world for the better, for once? Every organisation begins small, with just a little headquarters somewhere. Though if you succeed in helping a guild to grow, attracting new members, an expansion may happen. Maybe an outpost here or there? What if their goal goes even further? There's enough unclaimed land on Cyrodiil's map for experiments!
Third-party optional add-ons:
(These are for the version with requirements, but they can easily be used with the Integrated version by changing the masters with Wrye bash)
As an additional gift there's also an Unique Clothes AddOn for EC available. Make sure to read the readme.
There's now another module: If you're unhappy with my faces, LazyMonk contributed an alternative to them. Use Wrye Bash's "Import NPC Face" feature for it. (Now if you're unhappy with both my faces and LazyMonks alternative faces, then I fear you'll have to edit the NPCs yourself .)
The Highly recommended Ohmes-Raht voice pack which gives Ohmes-Raht players and NPCs their own voice for greetings, combat grunts,etc.
3 small changes by Rylasasin. Read the readme for more info.
Better Telvanni normals by ishmaeltheforsaken. Improves tthe graphical quality ofthe telvanni tileset. (Alternate DL)

I like to thank everyone who refrained from doing bloody frustrating things. It was you for whom I created Integration: The Stranded Light. I hope you'll enjoy the mod. And especially I like to thank everyone who had contributed resources, most importantly Bleral! !

The No requirements version is now......
The quests, resources, installation, etc. are all reported to be working perfectly. All you need is Shivering Isles and the above download. Included in the above package is an installation option which will allow you to enjoy the quests, gameplay, stories, characters, and every amazing facet of Integration with NO impact on your game's core-gameplay experience!
Ever since I first heard about Integration I fell in love, so much so that any hoops I had to jump through to play it were not an issue, but what did disappoint me was how so many people were unable to play it due to some rather harsh and major game changing requirements. I liked the requirements, but I can understand the hesitation to try the mod with all that it required you to do, and I looked forward to the day that anyone and everyone could experience the pinnacle of quest/mission mods for themselves. Well that day has come. After roughly three months of development Integration: The Stranded Light Integrated is now available for all to enjoy. It's pretty much the same mod, just now with no requirements and no gameplay changes!

Hi. First, I have greathy enjoyed the mind challenging aspects of many of the quests in ItSL. I cannot see the walkthru videos... (public computer) so I am asking for some tips in specific quests from people who have already done them. I am stuck on a few. And not sure...
I have both Televani outposts established, and I visited each one later to check up. etc. Anymore to do?

help please ---->> same problem with house between the priory and hackdurt - found map, found her, but not find book...

---->>> What lore book(s)should I read? (My statue in Burma sports a rose - smile, was a surprise to me first time i saw it)
Finished medicine for the wife quest... was VERY HARD, but I analized to get the cure. Is a "meat Pact" and "Green Pact" something from Lore?
I did find a "date" for the guild guide, and completed the quest. Had three choices. Does it matter which one?
Thank you, whoever replies, in advance.
Everyone from the mod now has nothing to say and will only say I HAVE NO GREETING which means I can't progress with any quests.
That is a bug that happens if you leave (or enter) the Shivering Isles without the right variables being set. Go to the Shivering Isles door, and use it to enter/exit and the problem will be fixed.
There is also spell in this mod that allows you to teleport between different areas in the Shivering Isles, and in Cyrodiil.. Don't worry, it sets the right variables.
Will you ever release a version that doesnt need less annoying magic? Im already using a magic altering mod and they really dont play well together. I tried it and found it very awkward. The quests i found were good though. A Little unsettling without sound, im sure you could get a few volunteers to voice if you advertised the need a little.
What was the magic mod you were using? LAME works fine with SM(Supreme Magicka) the other popular magic overhaul. Did you try altering your load order? If you don't like LAME's changes to vanilla aspects(spells) you could load your other magic mod after it. To answer your question:
No there will not be a version without the current requirements. The best that could be done is if you go into tes4edit and edit out everything in LAME isn't needed for Integration.
Voice acting: bg(the mod author) already tried recruiting voice actors once and there wasn't much of a response. Very unlikely it will get voice acted. 24+ hours, mostly female characters... just doesn't seem likely.
hmm if you have play morrowind this will be easy enough IMO
Finally on moddb... you should post the walkthroughs on the tutorials section
I think tutorials is meant for technical stuff. I was thinking of just uploading the first walkthrough video here and then depending on how it turns out go from there.
As for tutorials, I guess maybe I could post this little introduction that bg wrote:

Head Start has been referred to as the nation's "premier" federally sponsored early childhood education program, and today it serves nearly one million low-income children. Designed to "narrow the gap" between disadvantaged children and their more affluent peers, Head Start provides comprehensive programming during the preschool period to improve children's social competence and academic readiness for school.
A wealth of developmental research highlights the deleterious consequences of poverty for young children. More specifically, because they are exposed to a wide range of psychosocial stressors, low-income children have been found to be at greater risk for developing emotional and behavioral difficulties than their middle-income peers. Empirical studies have documented prevalence rates of emotional and behavior problems among preschool children as high as 20 to 40 percent, such that four to seven children in any given Head Start classroom may require additional assistance in managing their emotions and behavior. Research has consistently revealed relationships between such social-emotional skills and children's academic and social success in school. Consequently, Head Start programs and other preschools in low-income communities report a pressing need for effective tools to build children's social-emotional skills in preschool settings. Indeed, the payoff of such prevention efforts may be high, as supporting low-income children's healthy emotional and behavioral development during the preschool years is likely to influence their chances for success in school and beyond, both for the highest-risk children in the classroom and for their lower-risk peers.
This study comes at an important juncture for the field of early childhood education. New advances in neuroscience have increased the public's understanding of the importance of early years of development, and policymakers have become increasingly focused on the role of early education in increasing preschool children's readiness for school. At the same time, there is a surprisingly thin base of rigorous research investigating how preschool programs can most effectively support children's social-emotional development as part of that effort. Without such knowledge, programs like Head Start will have difficulty improving children's school readiness.
Adapting a Preschool Social-Emotional Curriculum
In this study, an existing evidence-based curriculum was adapted for use with a special population by focusing on structural, cultural, and language issues. The findings indi-cate that adaptations can account for a specific population's needs while staying true to the core principles and components of the program.
National Evaluation of Three Approaches to Improving Preschoolers' Social and Emotional Competence
This demonstration tested the effectiveness of three program enhancements implemented at scale that were designed to improve preschool children's social-emotional competence. All three had positive impacts on teacher practice and on children's social-emotional outcomes during the preschool year, although to varying degrees and not necessarily in the expected ways.
Large-Scale Implementation of Programs to Improve Children's Social-Emotional Competence
This report describes the extent to which three different classroom-based social-emotional strategies and related professional development supports were implemented as intended in Head Start centers, as well as the degree to which teachers' practices changed as a result.
Building on theories of how children's development unfolds, researchers and practitioners have created a new generation of classroom-based strategies that are specifically designed to improve children's social-emotional competencies. Three basic theoretical approaches have been emphasized. In one approach, children are provided with very specific hands-on activities and lessons to build their knowledge of emotions and their ability to consider alternative solutions when faced with a conflict with a peer. In a second approach, teachers are trained in specific behavior strategies that support the social-emotional development of preschool children — for instance, praising children for socially competent behaviors and setting clear limits on children's behavior. In a third approach, children are supported and "scaffolded" by teachers to accomplish more highly regulated classroom behavior through pretend play. However, the majority of these programs have been tested only in single cities, with programs highly motivated to take up the intervention, and with training and technical assistance provided under the direction of senior academic researchers. Never have multiple social-emotional programs been tested on a national level in the context of a federal initiative.
Head Start CARES (Classroom-based Approaches and Resources for Emotion and Social skill promotion) is a national research project sponsored by the Office of Head Start and the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation in the Administration for Children and Families. The project is designed to test the effects of three evidence-based social-emotional program enhancements in Head Start settings. Using a group-based randomized design, this study used a lottery-like process to randomly assign 104 Head Start centers from metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas across the country to one of three differing social-emotional enhancements or to a "business as usual" comparison group. Two or more classrooms were invited to participate from each center. In each case, teachers were trained in the new approaches and then provided with coaches who helped them implement the new strategies in their classrooms. At the end of the research study, comparison group centers were given the opportunity to be trained in one of the new social-emotional approaches. This rigorously designed study on a nationally heterogeneous set of Head Start centers and classrooms will provide information that federal policymakers and Head Start programs can use to increase Head Start's ability to improve the social-emotional skills and school readiness of preschool-aged children.
This study has the potential to dramatically improve our understanding of: (1) promising approaches to building children's social and emotional development, (2) the processes by which the largest and most sustained effects on children's social and emotional development are likely to occur, and (3) the features of Head Start settings and families that contribute to successful implementation of these program models.
The project has finished its second year of implementation and has moved into an analysis phase. In the past few years, the project has:
In fall 2012, a new contract was established to track sample members through the third grade. From 2013 to 2015, information will be collected from parents to locate the children and families. In addition, a short parent survey about children's social skills and behaviors will be administered.

After my poor experiences with this vendor, I left appropriate feedback on Amazon. About 2 days ago I got an email from the president of AutoPartsDealer. He apologized for the poor shopping experience and explained that his business had expanded faster than he could keep up and the level of service had suffered. He also made a very generous offer and asked me to consider trying them again and retracting my feedback on Amazon.
I emailed him back the next day thanking him for his email and telling him that I would be interested in taking him up on his offer and trying AutoPartsDealer again.
I talked to him over the phone today and he apologized again and thanked me for the opportunity to make things right. I ordered a set of EBC Sport rotors for my truck and he said he would get them shipped out as soon as possible and get me the tracking information when they shipped.
Although the initial purchase didn't go well, I can definitely respect a person and a company that would admit fault and go out of their way to contact me to make things right. To me, that makes the overall shopping experience a positive one. The negative feedback I left on Amazon doesn't really apply anymore since things were made right so I was happy to remove it.
I'll let you all know how this turns out! If this goes well, I'd be willing to try them again for future purchases. Their prices are definitely competitive!
Original Post Below
I ordered a AFE Pro-Dry S 21-90044 filter and an AFE 28-10091 pre-filter from AutoPartsDealer.com. These filters were intended as a replacement for the oiled filter that comes with the TRD intake.
They were shown as in-stock and ready to ship when I placed the order at the end of March. Expected delivery was April 2 to April 7. On April 5 I received an automated email from Amazon saying that the items had not shipped and my card had not been charged. I emailed AutoPartsDealer.com through the Amazon site on the same day requesting an estimated ship date by April 7th. I didn't get a reply by the 7th, I still have not received any reply from them. I emailed Amazon again letting them know I did not receive any response and that I wanted to cancel the order.
Amazon replied that the order would be automatically cancelled but that I could further things along by emailing the seller to cancel the order, which I did. I requested that they confirm my order was cancelled. I didn't get any communication from AutoPartsDealer.com about it.
Today, I received a ship notification from AutoPartsDealer.com for an order that I cancelled 5 days ago. I emailed Amazon again this morning, and they have filed a claim on my behalf under their 'A-to-Z Guarantee'.
Amazon's customer service up to this point has been great. They respond to emails in less than 3 hrs. They actually read the message I send and respond to its specifics. There are portions of their reponses that are cut-and-paste standard responses to situations, but they do mention specifics from my emails. Its nice that they don't just send out cookie-cutter responses that may/may not fit the email.
Does anybody have any experiences with the Amazon A-to-Z? What can I do to make sure I don't get stuck with these filters? The Amazon claim is supposed to be reviewed by the 28th. The filters are en-route and should be here by the end of the week. I'm not going to even open the package.

Old school seafood house. No imigination to the menu. Broil or fry everything then add paprika. It used to be better. Pleasent waite staff.

While the others at my table said they liked their dishes, I didn't like my combo dinner one bit. House salad had wet lettuce and one tablespoon of blue cheese dressing that tasted funny. Crab cake was gooey, indicating lots of filler. Shrimp scampi had four off-tasting shrimp swimming in a sea of oil. Mac and cheese was light on cheese flavor and about 1/5th as good as Stouffer's frozen. Stewed tomatoes was more like tomato gumbo (with chunks of celery for some reason). Chocolate mousse was some sort of phony whipped cream plus cocoa. I won't return.

This as my 4th or 5th trip to Kelly's. With each eperience the service and food gets worse. There were 3 adults and 1 (7yr. old child) in our party. The child was given a regular menu. Aftter 10 Minutes I requested a children's menu. One of us ordered the ribs and crabcake combo. Totally inedible. The ribs were pure gristle. INSTANT mashed potatoes. ? Why? also the potato salad was NOT good. Have learned now to not go there again but just wish that the owners would take the time to read some of these comments and do something about it.
Posted by Debbie on 03/26/2012
I have been going to Kelly's for years. I have noticed a change over the last couple years. It's a shame. This was a landmark here in the northeast for years. I was going to take my sister for her 60th birthday. Thought maybe it was just me who thought things have changed. I guess not. I will find somewhere else. I wish the owners would just get a new chef or bring back the old one.
Posted by Joe S. on 02/22/2012
If nothing else, Kelly's is consistant. Lousy food & lousy servive. My wife & I went to Kelly's to satisfy her craving for seafood. Even though we're in our early 60's I think we were the youngest diners in the place. My wife's meal, other than a soggy salad was decent. Mine however, was awful. I ordered the sirloin steak & a baked potato w/butter. What I got was a slab of fat & gristle masquerading as steak & the tiniest baked potato I ever saw, with of course, no butter. I was almost finished by the time our air head waitress got around to bringing me some. It was the worst piece of steak I've ever had in a restaurant. When we were ready to leave air head waitress brings us someone else's check. We finally had to track her down to get the right check. You couldn't pay me to go back to Kelly's.

Well should have believed the previous reviews. Went her tonight and all was true, waited almost 45 minutes for food to show up and we got the all u can eat crab legs, they were tasteless and over cooked and rather small for 37$ we also were told when we asked about the wait on the crab legs that in order to request a refill on the crab legs our plate had to be cleared or down to a few legs. Took us hours to eat another one of us got a grilled chicken salad where the chicken was overlooked and hard. So dissapointed in this place definitely our first and last time. Go to hilltop crab house for good crabs and crab legs!

When my wife and I first moved up into the Northeast back in the mid 90's we simply LOVED Kelly's. After a couple of years we noticed changes, bad changes. The first was the poor quality of food. The lobster tails seemed to get smaller and smaller. The steak was a lower and lower quality. Next we noticed that the service was getting poor. Our waitresses would disappear into the back and we would lose track of them. Any time we needed something our waitress was mia. One time we waited 35 minutes just to pay our bill. The food itself became an issue when I ordered a blackened spicy salmon dish that was inedible. The fish was overcooked and over peppered. I asked the waitress if she could stomach it and she couldn't. I sent it back but was never offered a replacement dish. The final straw came when we spent nearly 3 hours in the restaurant. Most of that time was spent waiting, waiting for the waitress to place our order, waiting for the food to be cooked and to be served and finally waiting to pay our bill. The calamari I got was stuck together and rubbery. My wife's vegetables were overcooked and mushy. We have not been back in at least 5 years and have NO plans on returning.


text: I have asked my doc numerous times 'what can I do or take to not be tired?' and all he can say is SLEEP. I am so fatigued its rediculous. My doc says its the toll of RA and Lupus in my system that runs me down. I walked less than a block to the movie store and came home and took a nap, I get sooo tired doing minimal activity. Its hard enough just getting out of bed, I have to sit there for a half to one hour before I feel ready to walk. I think Im hitting a big flare up now, Ive been getting more and more sore and tired. I take B-complex, drink the green tea, one cup of coffee every morning, Ive stoped my daily vito's because they are making me bloated. Is there anything that can give energy-naturally??? In dire need of wake up time.

Type: Soft Reusable Sensor
Manufacturer: Masimo Corp
Brand: Lncs Dbi
Lot #: 11DBR and 10HC8
Cat #: 2653
False readings on Masimo LNCS DBI finger probes used on Philips Viridia and Intellivue Patient Monitoring Systems, recorded problems with Masimo Lot 11DBR and 10HC8. However, recently we tried a different lot number (11DFX) with the same results.
Two lots of Masimo LNCS DBI probes are extremely sensitive to slight movement. These are not reprocessed and exhibit the problem immediately upon use. When monitored patients detach from this style of finger probe, the monitoring system may continue to interpret changes in impedance on the Masimo cable as pulsatile waves.
Philips Healthcare bedside monitors in the Viridia and Intellivue with Philips Fast SpO2 may interpret the impedance changes for extended periods (recorded up to seven minutes) thus giving the primary medical staff false diagnostic monitoring, trigger erroneous physiologic alarms, or record data in the EMR [Electronic Medical Records] that is not consistent with the patient's condition during hospitalization.
Clinical Engineering Department is investigating problems reported with the use of Masimo LNCS DBI pulse oximeter probes and Philips Viridia and Intellivue monitors. Reports from nursing staff members came to the CE [Clinical Engineering] Department's attention within days of standardizing Masimo manufactured probes on all systems for which Masimo states it offers a compatible probe. Masimo representatives conducted an exchange of all probes mentioned. Clinical Engineering heard reports of false signal readings a few days after the exchange.
Initially brought to the CE Department's attention during rounds with the Intermediate Medical Care Unit (IMC) at the hospital, Clinical Engineering immediately asked to speak to staff members who had observed the reported problem. IMC was the first department to report false signal readings from the Masimo LNCS DBI sensor. Several staff members reported that in various rooms with various bedside physiologic monitors, patients would remove the SpO2 [Saturation of Peripheral Oxygen] finger probe or it would detach from their finger. When these style probes were detached, SpO2 readings would continue with a pulsatile, non-physiologic wave or an oxygen saturation reading of approximately 84%, or the combination of the wave and low SpO2 reading.
While the staff reported these problems to a Clinical Engineering Technician, the problem recurred in an adjacent room and staff members observed that though the probe rested between the mattress and side rail, detached from the patient's finger, the bedside monitor displayed a non-physiologic waveform and SpO2 of 84–87%. The waveform persisted at most for a recorded six minute interval while the erroneous oxygen saturation continued the entire time. During this window, Clinical Engineering worked with the nurse educator to determine why the false readings continue. At one point the probe was placed on an end table, horizontally without noticeable movement. This did not resolve the problem. This instance of erroneous readings was resolved only when the probe was placed back on the patient's finger.
Though this was the first time Clinical Engineering observed the reported complaint, Clinical Engineering and a Masimo representative have reproduced this problem in other situations in an attempt to determine the likelihood of external interference from fluorescent or ambient light or other sources of electromagnetic interference or movement. The most pronounced example of why Clinical Engineering concludes that movement is a key element of these false readings occurred under evaluation with Masimo and Clinical Engineering: A Masimo DBI probe was covered in a black bag and placed horizontally on an empty bed. When the mattress top was depressed as much as three feet away from the probe to a depth of no more than one and one half inches, the Philips bedside monitor began to record pulsatile waves and an oxygen saturation consistent with reports and previous observations.
A DBI probe from another lot (11BEW) was used without excessive sensitivity in this trial to determine if Masimo has issues with the two lots the hospital received. No reports of recurrence have been brought to Clinical Engineering.
As a measure, Masimo, attempted to swap out 120 sensors, but the result was the same. As a final step until we can get some answers to why the DBI (Boot) sensor is not compatible, Masimo will immediately change out the DBI sensors for the LNCS DCI Clip Finger Sensor that seems to be working ok.
In discussions with Philips, the Masimo LNCS DBI has not been validated for use with Philips Healthcare technology.
Manufacturer response for Soft Reusable Sensor, LNCS DBI (per site reporter)
Coordinating review and testing, compatibility testing. Masimo told us the probes were compatible but we found out that the DBI sensors have not been tested against Philips Fast SPO2 algorithm.
Type: Cardiac Angiography Pack
Manufacturer: Medline Industries, Inc.
Brand: Angiography/angioplasty Kit
Lot #: 11CB833
Other #: reorder # DYNJ33727
The blade in cardiac angiography pack had no safety cap and two of the 32oz graduated bowls were punctured by the blade. The pack was not used and was replaced by a new pack.
Type: Cardiology Data Management System
Manufacturer: McKesson
Brand: Horizon Cardiology
Fluoro from a previous catheterization was missing from Horizon Cardiology. McKesson (vendor) researched, and found numerous studies which were not migrated by McKesson from old to new long term archive in 2008. Vendor letter and spreadsheet of missing studies was forwarded to Risk Management.
Type: Catheter, Mapping, Cardiac
Manufacturer: St. Jude Medical
Brand: Refexion Bi-directional Decapolar
Lot #: 3328191
Cat #: 402800
The catheter did not show all poles on the 3D Ensite (ESI) mapping equipment. There was artifact on the electrograms and they would not match up on the screen. A new catheter was used; procedure was successful and patient recovered well.
Type: Catheter, Mapping, Cardiac, Reprocessed
Manufacturer: Ascent
Brand: Daig Supreme Fixed Curved
Lot #: 156061
Cat #: 401443
As the Diag Supreme Fixed Curved EP Diagnostic catheter was removed at the end of the procedure it was noted that the tip was separated from the rest of the catheter and was only attached by the internal wires. The catheter was removed completely. There was no harm to the patient. This was a reprocessed catheter on its third reprocessing cycle.
Type: Catheter, Ultrasound, Intravascular
Manufacturer: Boston Scientific
Brand: Atlantis Sr Pro
Lot #: 14258155
Cat #: 338942
Other #: H74938942D
Patient was undergoing cardiac stent procedure. IVUS catheter used to view stent placement in RCA. IVUS then removed and approximately 5cm noted to be missing and retained in the RCA. Snare used for attempt to retrieve tip, unsuccessful. Patient required transfer to tertiary care center for possible removal of catheter tip.

Device 1:
Type: Implant
Manufacturer: Thoratec Corp
Brand: Heartmate II
Model#: Heartmate II
Device 2:
Type: Telemetry
Manufacturer: Spacelabs Medical, Inc.
Brand: Spacelabs Telemetry Transmitter With Ultraview
Model#: 90347-05
Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) patients are hooked up to telemetry but the system we have shows interference on the EKG monitors. Therefore, there is no way to know what the patient's heart is really doing for the monitoring Techs. This problem is happening with all the LVAD patients in the hospital.
Type: Network, Wireless, Physiological Monitoring
Manufacturer: GE Healthcare
Brand: Enterprise Access
Other #: Z10020-006 (Primary Synchmaster)
Sixty five days after the brand new General Electric (GE) Enterprise Access patient Monitoring System Network went down at 0200 hours in the morning. GE was contacted and their technician determined that the Synchmaster was out. The network was down for approximately 5 hours. When the system was switched over to the backup Synchmaster it also did not work. The primary data cable was then switched from the primary Synchmaster to the backup Synchmaster; again no system functionality. The hospital Biomed personnel were asked to reboot all 88 access points and this along with the switch over to the backup Synchmaster put the telemetry system network back online. We believe there are two design issues:
(1) If the primary Synchmaster fails there should be an automatic switch to the back up Synchmaster without needing to turn the primary "off" and the backup "on", and
(2)There should not be any need to "re-boot". This failure affected over 250 of potentially 300 patients as the entire telemetry, wireless monitor network when it went down.
Manufacturer response for Network, Wireless, Physiological Monitor, Enterprise Access:
Representatives of GE switched out the primary Synchmaster for a new Synchmaster. They are also reviewing the entire system.
Type: Electrosurgical, Cutting & Coagulation & Accessories
Manufacturer: Angiodynamics, Inc.
Brand: Rita Starburst Console
This is not really a device report - rather a failure of response of manufacturer rep. We did not receive the software upgrade or notification of need for software upgrade so the probe would not work properly. Malfunction could not be identified until after probe had already been placed in patient. Company rep did not arrive for procedure nor return phone calls about need for new software.
Manufacturer response for Rita Starburst Console, Rita Starburst Console (per site reporter)
Manufacturer will be providing software upgrade prior to next scheduled procedure. Since original sales rep non-response company has been VERY responsive to issues relating to needed software upgrade. We consider this matter now resolved.
Type: High Power Single Use Laser Fiber
Manufacturer: Boston Scientific - Marlborough
Brand: Flexiva 365 High Power Single Use Laser Fiber
Lot #: 1ML1020702
Cat #: 840-392
MD using Holmium laser lithotripsy for right ureteral stone. While using laser, approximately 2 mm size piece of the end of the laser fiber tip broke off. The surgeon notes that no fragments were visualized in bladder following basket extraction. The operative note states: "Ureteroscopy was carried out to the mid proximal ureter and there was no evidence of retained fragments. The safety wire and cystoscope were then used to deploy a 4.8 French x 26 cm double-J ureteral stent, which was deployed in good position. The bladder was emptied. The patient was taken to recovery room in stable condition."
Type: Laser, Surgical
Manufacturer: American Medical Systems, Inc.
Brand: Greenlight
Model#: CTS1188347
While the greenlight laser was in use, power was raised from 100 watts to 120 watts and a message flashed asking "Did you want to raise power?" with "Yes" or "No" on the screen. "Yes" was selected and power was raised. It was then noticed that power and time used was reset on screen. Laser tech support was called and they stated it was possible that there was a glitch in the software and there was nothing they could do to retrieve lost information. Support stated that the fiber would have to have been removed from the machine to have lost the numbers. Doctor was able to add Joules displayed before the loss to the numbers at the end of case to approximate the power and time used.
Type: Pack, Sterile, Surgical
Manufacturer: Cardinal Health
Cat #: SNU12VAMWM
The sterile venous access pack was opened in preparation for inserting a PICC catheter. The tech preparing the tray, donned in appropriate head covering, noticed a hair under the gauze sponges. The tray was immediately removed from the procedure room and another tray was prepped. The hair was discovered prior to the patient entering the procedural suite.
Type: Wound Dressing
Manufacturer: Centurion Medical Products Corp
Brand: Sorbaview Shield
Cat #: SV353UDT
Other #: Stock# 57015711
Our facility has documented several events that occurred with the dressing used to secure the peripherally inserted central catheter or PICC line on patients. Beginning last summer our facility stopped suturing in PICC lines. This was because of advice received from the CDC and the INS that suggested this practice be stopped. Last year we documented seven cases where the dressing was intact, but it was discovered that the PICC line was pulled out or partially pulled out. One such event stated patient found with PICC line dc'd; Pt sometimes confused; and sometimes pulls at lines, tubing, bedding; RN feels the Sorbaview dressing did not adequately secure the PICC line. Another such event stated, PICC line accidentally pulled most the way out; patient got up from chair; line caught on chair. No suture at site; Hub pulled out from under the Sorbaview dressing. Dressing was intact.
Since the beginning of this year we have had three such events reported. With the last event reported two months ago. The event states, "This event report is being prepared to document the failure of the SorbaView Shield to secure the patient's PICC line. This patient was preparing to be discharged and the PICC line was to be removed. When RN was removing the PICC line, it was noted that the line was only in the patient's arm approximately twelve inches, which was much shorter than it should have been to be a properly placed PICC. It was obvious the PICC line had slipped out sometime during the hospital stay due to failure of the SorbaView Shield dressing to secure it. There was no consequence to the patient as she was not using any IV fluids or IV antibiotics that needed to be infused through a central line." Because of the number of reported events this report has been filed.
Type: Catheter, PICC
Manufacturer: Medcomp
Lot #: MBCQ060
Cat #: MR17012601
The product is a MedComp 2.6 FR Dual lumen PICC. On the 23 gauge lumen, the junction of the clear extension piece and the white Luer piece had fluid leaking around the junction. We just began using this product about 4 or 5 months ago, and our utilization has not been very high to date. The loss of this catheter was costly for the patient. This particular patient required a catheter exchange. She continued to require central access and the family and service did not wish for her to return to the operating room for a new line. The day after the catheter was exchanged the patient decompensated with a septic type of picture and was transferred to the ICU. To date the blood cultures have remained negative.
Type: Catheter, PICC
Manufacturer: Bard Access Systems
Brand: Broviac Catheter 2. 7 Single Lumen
Lot #: REVA0630
Cat #: REF060040
The physician ordered a dressing change and an application of medication to the patient's broviac catheter site. As the nurse removed the dressing, it was noted that the broviac catheter was broke in half. The catheter was immediately clamped by the nurse and then discontinued by the physician.
Type: Infant Crib
Manufacturer: Stryker
Brand: Strykercub
Model#: FL19H
Cat #: FL19H
No patient involvement with this event. After patient was discharged, housekeeper was cleaning an infant crib when metal coated bars were noted to be peeling. Peelings very sharp and dangerous. Crib taken out of commission due to safety concerns. Manufacturer notified. Sample shavings available.
Type: Port, Catheter, Implanted
Manufacturer: AngioDynamics
Cat #: CT96STSD
During the placement of the AngioDynamics Vortex Smart Port (ref CT96STSD), the blue protective cover of the metal tunneling device was not removed, but inadvertently left on the tunneling device during the tunneling. It moved down the tunneling device and was left over the catheter in the subcutaneous tissue. The blue cover was not visualized on fluoro or x-ray. The port and catheter was removed ten months later because the patient did not need the port any longer. However, the blue cover was not visualized and was not removed. Approximately two weeks later the patient returned for removal of a retained foreign body.
Device problem that contributed to the user error:
1. The blue tunneling cover is the same color as the blue locking mechanism.
2. The blue tunneling cover is not marked with a radiopaque marker.
3. The blue tunneling cover can slide down the tunneling device. It is not a Luer or twist off cap.
Type: Pump, Infusion, Elastomeric
Manufacturer: I-FLOW CORPORATION
Brand: On-q
Model#: CB-6004
Lot #: 112951
I-FLOW On-Q Pain Pump Model# CB-6004, Lot#112951, Exp. Date: 2/13. Pump returned as defective because the "Select-A-Flow" rate controller spins freely and will not click into a specific rate. Without a definite click, the medication will not flow from the pump.
Type: External Rib Fixation System
Manufacturer: Synthes
Brand: Synthes Matrixrib
A patient who presented post MVA with significant flail chest on the left side initially did not require mechanical ventilation but deteriorated. Then patient required mechanical ventilation and was showing no progress towards weaning from mechanical ventilation. Per adopted trauma service protocol, the patient and his family were offered operative fixation of his rib fractures to correct the flail segment. The family after full discussion of risks and benefits and after a second opinion had been obtained from thoracic surgery decided to proceed with the operation. Multiple rib segments were stabilized with an external fixation segment without problems. An intramedullary stent was used to stabilize a posterior segment of 5th fib, with comminuted segments, in close proximity to the spinal column. The patient subsequently demonstrated paraplegia. CT scan indicated that the stent was in contact with the spinal cord at the T4 level. The patient was returned to the OR for removal of the intramedulary stent. Intraoperative exploration indicated that the stent had exited the intramedullary canal at the site of a fracture. Following removal, the patient continued to demonstrate significant neurological deficit. Neurosurgery was consulted and MRI/MR Angiography of spine was completed, which indicated spinal cord trauma.
Type: Bone Densitometer
Manufacturer: GE HealthCare
Brand: GE Lunar Prodigy Advance
The GE Lunar system had to be reset. When it was reset the population comparison group needed to be selected. The comparison group "USA" was selected, not "USA/NHANES" This caused the wrong calculation of bone loss. Staff reported that when the comparison group is selected the list of comparison groups is so long that one needs to scroll through many selections and the proper reference database is not seen easily. The list of comparison groups includes many countries outside of the US that would not be selected in the US. If the list was not as long it was felt that there would not be the risk of selecting the wrong reference database. Staff suggested that the list be modified for US users so that so many unneeded comparison groups do not appear.
The result was incorrect data for 223 patient exams.
The settings were corrected. The manufacturer was contacted and instructions were given on how to correct and reanalyze the data. The exams were reanalyzed to correct the results.
Type: Catheter, Radionuclide Applicator, Microspheres
Manufacturer: Sirtex Medical, Inc.
Brand: Sir-spheres
Sirtex 2.8 French micro catheter used in Nuclear Medicine was occluded and drug could not be delivered in full. A patient was prescribed a dose of 3 GBq received approximately 0.7 GBq Y-90 microspheres (Sirtex SIR-Spheres) for the treatment of cancer in the left lobe of the liver. Based on the residual activity measured at the completion of the treatment, the patient may have received 20 – 23% of the prescribed dose. Instead of the intended absorbed dose of 63 Gy to the left lobe of the liver, the patient received less than 14.8 Gy. The most likely root cause of the occlusion was that a relatively high concentration of Y-90 SIR-Spheres occluded the lumen of the Sirtex micro-catheter. The AU (authorized user) terminated the therapy administration because an occlusion in the micro-catheter prevented the delivery of the microspheres to the treatment site. An incident report was filed by Sirtex, the Y-90 microsphere manufacturer, several days after the event. Once adequate decay in storage has occurred (estimated 60 days), the Y-90 delivery set and shipping vial used in this medical event will be returned to the manufacturer (Sirtex) for analysis. Full decay time is estimated to be 60 days. Once received by Sirtex, the analysis takes about 2 weeks. This event was reported to the U.S. NRC Operations Center. No adverse effects on the patient are expected from this under dose. The patient was subsequently successfully treated with compensating dose activity of 2.6 GBq of Y-90 microspheres to left lobe of the liver.

Patient complained of a burn on left hand and left hip that occurred during MRI scan.
Type: X-ray System, Cath/angio
Manufacturer: Philips Healthcare
Brand: Allura Xper Fd10
Model#: Allura XPER FD10
The Philips Allura XPER FD10 system has an intercom system for communication between the operative suite and the control room, but the intercom in the control room only has a desk-top speaker and microphone. In a noisy environment, this speaker and microphone are not able to provide enough volume/control to be able to listen to to the Cardiac Cath Lab suite conversation/directions. We have asked Philips to provide a headset option which is available from the OEM of the intercom system but have not had a timely response. The OEM of the intercom is Hago Electronics. Philips has OK'd the modification of the Hago intercom.
The local service manager and sale rep have sent the request to the production floor to see if it is possible to make the modification.

Thanks in advance for any testing or comments.
Very cool Jeremy!
Am i correct in understanding that pawns on reaching the backboard don't change to a new piece?
Also, I do not see documentation for the checkboxes available in the options window, so alas I am unsure what those check boxes toggle.
Promotion might have been, eh, overlooked. I've never really played a real game using this thing. :-) En passant capturing is supported, though, I'll fix the promotion bug as soon as possible.
Attached is my options dialog for the Stockfish engine. Yours doesn't look like that?
Best, Jeremy
Yes, Ok, gotcha.
Yes, that's the image I see.
I just replaced the archive at the location linked above with a version which fixes the promotion bug. Sorry about that.
Note that underpromotion is only available if you type the move in (e.g. c8=N in algebraic or c7c8n in coordinate). Otherwise, you're getting a queen.
Sooo, if that's the image you see, those are options for the Stockfish engine and are probably documented on the Stockfish website (http://stockfishchess.org/) — I'm just passing along the stuff that the engine tells me about. Certain options, like MultiPV (to enable more than 1 principle variation in analysis) or Threads (to control processor usage) are fairly widespread. Others are engine-specific, so you have to find the engine documentation to get a good idea of what those things do.
> or let two computers play against one another
singularity is near!
your presentation at CodeControl was very cool :)
bravo !
Coming soon:
- view game score from White's perspective (it's currently relative to the side to move)
- option to output PV in coordinate notation, which is easier to parse and map in Max (see below — very simple LCD rendering of the engine's "thoughts" during the famous game Morphy vs. Anderssen)
It's so great !
I'd love to test this on windows !!
ha! unbelieveable, love it, can't wait to try this!
I've uploaded a new version to http://www.expr-i0.net/uci_130327.zip .
- changes (hopefully improvements) to UCI engine output parsing, more information now available
- option to display UCI engine score from White's perspective (so, absolute). On by default.
- option to output UCI engine PVs in coordinate notation (rather than algebraic) to facilitate move parsing. Off by default.
- ensure that running UCI engines are analyzing the position on the board.
- some minor improvements to the help file (particularly in the parsing subpatcher).
LATER (file above was replaced)
- minor fixes to 'info' output parsing
- complete rewrite of IPC code to accommodate engines with buffered output. Engine loading is now much faster as a side effect.
- 'load' message opens a dialog if no arguments are supplied
- 'id' info is reported by the engine (name and author)
- more helpfile fixes (non-multiPV case was missing)
Thanks in advance for testing and feedback!
(below is another stupidly simple rendering, this time World Champion Vishy Anand's beautiful win as Black over Levon Aronian at this year's Wijk aan Zee tournament)
(by the way, you can read more about the UCI protocol and download the spec here: http://www.shredderchess.com/chess-info/features/uci-universal-chess-interface.html . It might assist you in writing your own parsing patcher for the data streaming from the uci object, but probably not that much)…
I'm seeing a series of fine art prints here, Jeremy. The N greatest chess games ever played.
I'm mostly interested in perfecting my ballpoint pen emulation for the time being, but if any wealthy patrons would like limited edition archival prints, they know where to find me. ;-)
Barring any further bug reports, the version of the object at http://www.expr-i0.net/uci.zip is definitive for now. Getting a Windows version going may take a little while, but that's what's next.
Best, Jeremy
i was about to say it, the impressive part of the otherwise ugly image is that it really looks like ballpoint pen.
stupid question– what are those pictures you keep posting? are they the traces of pieces on the chessboard during a game or something more abstract?
Cool! Unfortunately Max gets these errors here when trying to load the engines:
uci: load error: could not execute Macintosh HD:/Applications/Max 6.1/packages/uci/misc/critter-16a
uci: load error: could not execute Macintosh HD:/Applications/Max 6.1/packages/uci/misc/stockfish-231-64
The whole package is in "Macintosh HD:Applications:Max 6.1:packages:uci", read access is granted…
Max 6.1
Osx 10.6.8
@Terry McDermott: in every position (so after every move played in the game), the UCI chess engine (Critter in this case: http://www.vlasak.biz/critter/ ) starts "thinking" and sends a number of lines of potential future play (principle variations = PV), each with a score (in floating point pawns). The (very simple) patch I made basically draws these PVs (as many as are sent within 2-3 seconds), uses the score to determine a color [more white = in white's favor, more black = in black's favor, blue = LCD bug, basically means very much in Black's favor]… and that's it. Add a little random jitter to the pen positions and voilà, ballpoint pen sketches.
So the drawings are basically maps of what could have happened after each move. Some of the lines did happen, some didn't. So it's slightly more abstract, but not much!
Best, Jeremy
@jko: are you in 32- or 64-bit mode — you can determine that by following the instructions here: http://osxdaily.com/2009/09/07/how-to-tell-if-youre-running-the-32-bit-or-64-bit-kernel-in-mac-os-x-snow-leopard/ ? I just verified that everything loads on a 10.6.8 machine in 64-bit mode.
Here are a few things to try from the Terminal:
> cd /Applications/Max 6.1/packages/uci/misc/
> ./critter-16a
Does the engine execute? If you see something like "Critter v1.6a 64-bit, by Richard Vida" printed, then it worked. Type 'quit' to exit the engine. If that didn't work. Type:
> ls -al
and look at the permissions on the left-hand side of the listing. Mine are "-rwxr-xr-x". If you are missing the 'x's, the file isn't executable for some reason (your unzipper might have trashed them). Try:
> chmod 755 critter-16a
and see if that fixes the problem (for Critter — you'll have to do the same with Stockfish, of course).
Thanks, let me know what you find. I have a 32-bit 10.6.8 machine kicking around that I can test on, too, if you don't get any further after trying this stuff out.
Best, Jeremy
Hi Jeremy
It's the 32 bit kernel. (do you think I should try to switch to the 64 kernel generally? It's an old machine but it does what I need it to so far…)
Enginge executes with this message:
jkomac:misc jko$ ./critter-16a
Critter v1.6a 64-bit, by Richard Vida
hardware POPCNT disabled
File permissions are good.
Thanks for your help, best, Joerg
BTW: tried to load the Hiarcs Hiarcs13.1SP and the Hiarcs13.1MP as well (I use these here with Sigma), also no success.
@jko, thanks for that.
If you were running the 32-bit kernel, Critter would say "Critter v1.6a 32-bit, by Richard Vida", so I suspect that you are actually running the 64-bit kernel!
I know that HIARCS 13 & 14 both work in 64-bit mode (the changes I made to the IPC in the last version were due to HIARCS's buffered output, in fact). And I just installed Max and 'uci' on my 32-bit 10.6.8 box and could successfully load and run Critter (the version of Stockfish which I put in the archive is 64-bit only, so you'd need to get the 32-bit version from their site). So this is a puzzle.
Is there anything in your Console.app which looks relevant?
Thanks, Jeremy
@jko: OK, here's an idea. It might be the spaces in the path names. You could use a packages folder in your user documents folder to test this, so that the path to the file is /Users/jko/Documents/Max/Packages/uci/misc/critter-16a , without any spaces. Please give that a whirl.
Strange: Because I have
uname -a
Darwin jkomac.local 10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun 7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
I'll be offline for some days now and will get back to you next week. Happy Easter!
Ha, twas the Spaces in the paths! Got it working now, thanks!
Great, I'll fix that and update the archive. The 'stat' tool that I'm using to verify executability is apparently stricter about spaces than the other parts of the IPC chain.
Thanks, Jeremy
OK, a general fix for paths containing spaces is now included in the object at http://www.expr-i0.net/uci.zip
Thanks for helping me find that (embarrassing) problem, Jeremy
You asked for it… At long last, the Windows version is finally available. :-)
http://www.expr-i0.net/uci.zip now contains 32- and 64-bit Windows binaries, an updated helpfile and some Windows UCI engines to play around with (in addition to an updated Max external). Thanks for checking it out, and please let me know if you run into any trouble. I'm not 100% satisfied with the quality of the images on Windows, so there may still be some changes in that regard, but it should be otherwise feature-equal with the OSX version.
Best, Jeremy
Anyone had a chance to try this out on Windows who cares to lavish praise/indifference/scorn on the project? Like, does it work?
oh…i loose!
(win 32bit)
I'm not sure I understand. Windows 32-bit is working for me. But maybe you just mean that the computer beat you. :-) Don't feel bad — even the free engines provided in the download are tendencially stronger than human grandmasters.
You guess right… i just can not beat max!…max/msp at last takes revenge for all these painful hours of experimentation …Jeremy this object is INCREDIBLE! THANK YOU!
Jeremy, hope you don't mind, I added the package to my new Max Package Downloader (https://github.com/natcl/max_package_downloader)
For easy download and update from within max !
Permission granted! Thanks, Jeremy
Hi Jeremy
Building something to paste in Openings and play Chess by sending moves via email I realized that the back / forward function stops working after a certain count of moves. See attachment. Would be perfect if you look into and see if there is an easy fix (or if it's just here) before I start building a FEN history by myself….
Best, Joerg
Thanks for the report. I'll check this out and get back in the next day or so.
Good find, it's a tiny little bug in the FEN parser. I'll push new versions out later today, thanks for helping to track that down.
Updated package is now available here.
Wonderfull Jeremy, thanks a lot!
So attached is a maxproj that can do 2 things:
1) we use it to play remote chess by sending moves via mail: Start a new game or paste the move sequence you got into the textedit box. Make your move, it'll be appended to the text. Copy everything in the textbox and paste it into an email, send, done, wait for reply. If you don't need to recreate the game you can also just append your move in the mail using the short Notation a1a2. If you paste it in the patch later the parser will tidy it again. (You could also send pgn files but this way it's very simple to reply without opening the patch if the game is still on your table).
(a co-player told us he played chess in a tournament by sending moves via postcards, 3months timeout for 10 moves – nice)
If you use back forward the textedit field will be cleared not to mix it up completely….
2) Paste in games from wikipedia (eg: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_bekannter_Schachpartien) or whatever. You can basically paste in everything as long as the moves contain start field and end field "11. Qd4xe5??" will work as good as "d4e5", as long as it's a valid move and there is no spaces inside. "Qe5" will not work! You can paste in a lot of moves at once (text will be ignored, but alternatives not, so just copy the lines that contain real moves). Hit enter or click the button, if it can not be parsed you'll see the problem move below the board. Use the back forward buttons to see what happened in the game.
You might want to remove the german attribute in the js box in order to output english Shortnames (RBQKN)
If there was still pm-Option I would ask you to challenge me that way but I can't find it anymore, is it gone?

Video reblogged from Gay Christian with 5,651 notes
From Jezebel:
Back in August, during a Springfield City Council public hearing on amending the city's nondiscrimination ordinance to include sexual orientation and gender identity protections, Rev. Phil Snider of the Brentwood Christian Church lashed out at the council for "inviting the judgement of God upon our land" by making "special rights for gays and lesbians."
He goes on to invoke the bible and morality and the end of days a few more times before suddenly appearing to lose his train of thought.
And then something pretty amazing happens.

U.S. blows up Mississippi River flood levee
Water began to pour out of the hole after the explosion and is expected to flood 130,000 acres of Missouri farmland in order to spare the towns.
Tue, May 03, 2011 at 12:07 AM
DEBATE: The deliberate destruction of the levee ended days of fierce debate and legal wrangling over how to cope with the rising flood waters of the Mississippi and nearby Ohio River. (Photo: ZUMA Press)
BIRDS POINT, Mo.- Flames shot up and a loud boom was heard on Monday as the U.S. government blew a hole in a Mississippi River flood levee in a bid to save several towns in Illinois and Kentucky from being inundated.
A witness said water began to pour out of the hole after the explosion and is expected to eventually flood some 130,000 acres of farmland in Missouri in order to spare the towns.
The deliberate destruction of the levee after nightfall and during a driving rain, ended days of fierce debate and legal wrangling over how to cope with the rising flood waters of the Mississippi and nearby Ohio river.
Carlin Bennett, a commissioner in the rural Missouri county that will bear the brunt of the flooding, estimated the U.S. government action will cause $1 billion in property damage.
"It's going to be like a mini tsunami through here," he said. "We can't really imagine it right now."
The state of Missouri petitioned all the way to the Supreme Court in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the action. The states of Illinois and Kentucky opposed Missouri, joining the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in pushing for destruction of the levee in hopes of saving several towns in their states.
One town the Corps hopes to save is Cairo, an historic community of 2,800 people located at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi. The town was largely empty after a mandatory evacuation on Sunday.
Located at the southern tip of Illinois between Missouri and Kentucky, Cairo was an important destination for runaway slaves during the Civil War. Both Missouri and Kentucky were slave states and Illinois was a free state.
Its population is more than 60 percent African-American and a third of its residents have incomes below the poverty level.
"I'm very relieved," said James Wilson, spokesman for Cairo mayor Judson Childs. "I wish they could have done it 3 days earlier." He said some people in the nearby town of Olive Branch already have lost their homes to flooding.
But Deborah Byrne, a minister in Charleston, Missouri who owns 550 acres of the farmland in the path of the waters released by the explosion, said it would take years for the county to recover from the controversial operation.
"It's not just 130,000 acres and rich landowners. There are many families connected with these farms. This land has come down through many generations."
Witnesses near the spot where the levee was breached on Monday said the flood waters were already so high that it was hard to tell where the Mississippi River usually ends.
Trees were standing in water along the banks and water swelled along the sides of the highway. Flood waters covered farm fields and rain was relentless all day, with a cold wind.
On top of the levee, reporters in TV trucks waited along with army personnel. Across already flooded fields could be seen the lights of U.S. Army corps barges, where the explosives were detonated to blow up the levee. Flood water covered the road entering the town of Cairo.

Footrot occurs when bacteria makes its way into the soft flesh in between cattle's feet, making cattle in hot, rugged and moist climates more susceptible. Photo by John Maas. Summertime: Bulls are turned out with spring calving females on pasture for breeding, stocker cattle enjoy their last stop on grass before transitioning into the feedyard, and bred fall cows spend their days grazing without a care in the world – it's almost like paradise.
But as the longer days heat up to the dog days of summer, things can turn south if cattle producers don't keep a firm hand on cattle health.
"Complications with cattle health can be enough to take the fun out of summer," says John Maas, former veterinarian with the University of California at Davis Cooperative Extension, and chairman of the Beef Quality Assurance Advisory Board.
Footrot interdigital phlegmon
Footrot is a multi-factorial condition that can turn a sound animal lame in a short 24-hour time window and can be detected through tenderness and swelling of the foot. The infection occurs when the soft, sensitive tissue between the toes of cattle's feet is irritated and infected by Fusobacterium necrophorum or Bacteroides melaninogenicus bacteria that make a living in the absence of oxygen. Since F. necrophorum is found present in feces and healthy rumens, cattle are literally at risk of contracting footrot with every step.
A simple rule of thumb: Anything that causes irritation to your own hands would irritate the sensitive portion of cattle's feet.
"Stubble in fields, sticks, little stones – anything like that gives an entry way for the bacteria," says Maas. "Excessive moisture and heat can cause their feet to crack and chap, making cattle in those environments more susceptible."
And while bacteria have the ability to proliferate damaging toxins throughout the irritated area, if detected early, common antibiotics such as Tetracycline and Penicillin can clear up the infection quickly. Neglect the problem for too long and it only takes 5 to 10 days to turn urgent.
"If bacteria gets into deeper tissues, like joints, tendon sheaths and the bone itself, all bets on treatment resulting into a full recovery are off," he says. "Once it gets into these tissues, it becomes a very serious issue that may require surgery or even humane euthanasia."
While footrot isn't 100 percent preventable, there are steps producers can take to minimize its occurrence and severity. According to Maas, this can be done with a supplement program.

Eight militants dead, air strikes intensify.intensified in·ten·si·fy
v. in·ten·si·fied, in·ten·si·fy·ing, in·ten·si·fies
1. To make intense or more intense: during the past two days in Abyan, Hadramout and Bida'a.
The Ministry of Defense confirmed on its website that two militants were killed in an air raid in Qotn city in Hadramout on Tuesday night.
The ministry said the raid targeted the two militants in a vehicle loaded with large quantities of explosive devices. The ministry indicated that the militants were prepared to carry out acts in Hadramout using the explosives. The ministry reported that the raid resulted in two dead, and the vehicle sustained damages.
Air strikes in Al-Masaneh area targeted Abdullah Awad Al-Maseri, known as Abu Osama Al-Maribi, a leader of Al-Qaeda in Beida'a.
Sheikh Ahmed Sheikh Ahmed (b. October 26, 1973 in Islington, London) - not to be confused with Al-Jazeera editor-in-chief Ahmed Sheikh - is a British web developer, music blogger and DJ. Zaid, a tribal leader in Rada'a district, said, "Planes flew sporadically spo·rad·ic also spo·rad·i·cal
1. Occurring at irregular intervals; having no pattern or order in time. See Synonyms at periodic.
2. Appearing singly or at widely scattered localities, as a plant or disease. on Tuesday in Al-Masaneh in Beida'a governorate and carried out air raids on militants on a motorcycle, resulting in immediate death." He said one of the two dead militants is Al-Maseri.
He also said air raids on Tuesday occurred in the Sailat Al-Garah and Walad Rabee'a areas, but no information was provided about casualities.
State-run Saba News Agency reported that Al-Maseri, considered one of the most dangerous leaders of Al-Qaeda in Beida'a, was in charge of an explosive plant.
The agency said the air raid resulted in six militant deaths, representing different nationalities. The militants are Abu Ja'far Al-Iraqi, a Bahraini; Abu Al-Bara'a Al-Shorori, a Saudi; Abu Mosa'ab Al-Maseri, an Egyptian; Abu Hafsa Al-Maseri, an Egyptian; Abu Hafsa Al-Tonesi, a Tunisian; and Ibraheem Al-Sakhi, a Yemeni.
The Ministry of Defense said a security campaign, launched in coordination with the People's Committees--civilian fighters who back the military--arrested eight suspects linked to Al-Qaeda. One of them was reportedly caught in a closet, in Al-Salam area, Jaar, on Tuesday after storming several houses.
The ministry reported that preliminary investigations with previously arrested militants led to the location of those arrested Tuesday. This increases the number of caught militants to 16.
Air raids on Al-Qaeda strongholds come after Al-Qaeda affiliates spread in Abyan, carrying out of a suicide bombing Noun 1. suicide bombing - a terrorist bombing carried out by someone who does not hope to survive it
bombing - the use of bombs for sabotage; a tactic frequently used by terrorists
suicide bombing n → this past week that resulted in more than 45 deaths of People's Committees' fighters in the governorate. The bombing occurred during a condolence service by Abdulatif Al-Sayed, head of the People's Committees in Jaar.

diaryofmu.com presents PEACHES DIARY from Diary of Mu on Vimeo.
A very beautiful Peaches mini doc by Diaryofmu.
None of us can stand perfectly still. No matter how hard we try, our bodies constantly make small adjustments, causing us to sway slightly as we stand. What is it? What is it that scares us? What defines who we are? Who we want to be and what's our story. That explosive night we swayed to the call of the PEACHES. For a while we let go the burden of our existence, merging with hers thus empowering our awareness of the world, our awareness of love. It feels like we're justified by keeping those two. More space, less clutter, more time to be who you want to be and not who you have to be. Frankly, we can't imagine a world with no possessions, but we sure as hell can imagine one with less crap than we already have. The PEACHES diary invites you to stay alive. Take a BITE. "

I was mired in so much twisted stuff with my family, with EJ, trying to protect myself and figure out what the hell was going on around me…in fact that pretty much describes everyday of my life before I met you. You cut through all the fog, it only looked like my life got crazy with Arianna and all that drama after we got together. The truth is everything was simple after I fell in love with you, I don't know how I got so lucky to find a man who is so warm and generous and loving first time out of the gate. I promise to never forget what a gift you are, I'm honoured that in a few hours you will be my husband. All my love, Will

Chicken and Chickpeas
Chickpeas give an unusual flavour to a chicken casserole as well as making it more substantial.
Serves 4
|1.15-1.35kg roasting chicken, quartered
|225g chickpeas, soaked overnight and drained
|25g butter
|2 tablespoons oil
|1 large onion, peeled, halved and sliced
|2 cloves garlic, crushed
|1 x 400g tin Italian tomatoes
|275ml stock (made from the giblets)
|1 bay leaf
|1-2 tablespoons tomato purée
|1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
|Preheat the oven to 170˚C/325˚F/gas mark 3.
|Need help with conversions?
|There is no list of equipment specified for this recipe.
This recipe first appeared in Delia's Frugal Food.
Place the chickpeas in a saucepan with enough fresh water to cover them to a depth of about 5cm, then bring to the boil. Do not add any salt at this stage. Simmer (uncovered) for about 30 minutes, skimming after about 10 minutes.
While that's happening, heat the butter and oil together in a flameproof casserole, then dry the chicken quarters on kitchen paper and fry in the hot fat over a medium heat until they're evenly browned. Using a draining spool, remove them to a plate and in the fat remaining in the pan gently fry the sliced onion and crushed garlic until softened.
Now return the chicken to the pan and pour over the tomatoes and stock.
Then drain the cooked chickpeas, reserving their cooking liquor.
Add them to the chicken mixture with 150ml of the liquor as well. Net add the bay leaf, tomato purée and Herbes de Provence, and season.
Bring up to simmering point, cover and transfer the casserole to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for a further 30 minutes.
Taste and add a bit more seasoning if necessary before serving.
Onion rice is nice with this.

Zucchini Bread
This morning I made zucchini bread with some dumpstered zucchini. Even now, I still have 2-3 pounds of zucchini to deal with! I used a recipe off the internet, used about 1/3 whole wheat flour, and sunflower seeds (also dumpstered) instead of walnuts. I didn't have any cinnamon, but it tastes pretty good anyway. Next time: less sugar.
The zucchini bread is in honor of my friend Steven, who is coming to visit this weekend!
