(WIBW) - Two Kansas hospitals received Level 4 trauma center certificates Wednesday.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has designated Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems in Beloit and Sabetha Community Hospital with the certification.
They are the first to receive Level 4 trauma status in Kansas. They're both equipped to provide urgent care for seriously injured patients and have relationships with other trauma centers if a higher level of care is needed.
Complete news release from KDHE:
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has designated two Kansas hospitals as Level IV trauma centers. They are Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems in Beloit and Sabetha Community Hospital in Sabetha. Hospital administrators were presented their certificates at a meeting of the State's Advisory Committee on Trauma in Topeka today.
These designations are a landmark, as they are the first hospitals to receive Level IV trauma center designation in the State of Kansas. KDHE was given legislative authority earlier this year to begin designating Level IV trauma centers.
"Trauma center designation is one component of a comprehensive statewide trauma system designed to get patients with life-threatening injuries to a hospital with the necessary resources," said Robert Moser, M.D., KDHE Secretary and State Health Officer. "It means these hospitals have met essential criteria that ensure institutional performance and trauma care capability."
State trauma designation is a voluntary process that provides confirmation that a hospital has demonstrated its commitment to providing the highest quality trauma care for all injured patients. To earn designation, the hospital must have the necessary equipment and resources needed for trauma care.
The criteria for trauma center designation was established by the American College of Surgeons and endorsed by the State's Advisory Committee on Trauma. There are four separate categories of designation (Level I, II, III & IV) that are awarded by KDHE. Each category has specific criteria that must be met by a facility seeking that level of designation. Level IV trauma centers are community hospitals that provide urgent care for those who are seriously injured and have relationships with other trauma centers if a higher level of care is needed.
"A trauma center designation recognizes the hospital's dedication to providing optimal care for those who have been injured in their community. Designated Level IV trauma centers are a vital resource to rural communities when every second matters," said Moser.

Dr. Rajiv Shah led the efforts of nearly 10,000 staff in more than 70 countries around the world to advance USAID's mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies.
Under Dr. Shah's leadership, USAID applied innovative technologies and engaged the private sector to solve the world's most intractable development challenges. This new model of development brings together an increasingly diverse community—from large companies to local civil society groups to communities of faith—to deliver meaningful results.
Dr. Shah led President Obama's landmark Feed the Future and Power Africa initiatives and has refocused America's global health partnerships to end preventable child death. Feed the Future, alone, has improved nutrition for 12 million children and empowered more than 7 million farmers with climate-smart tools they need to grow their way out of extreme poverty. In April 2014, USAID launched the U.S. Global Development Lab to harness the expertise of the world's brightest scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. At the same time, the newly formed Private Capital Group for Development forges a more strategic relationship between private capital and development.
Dr. Shah also managed the U.S. Government's humanitarian response to catastrophic crises around the world, from the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Through an extensive set of reforms called "USAID Forward," Dr. Shah worked with the United States Congress to transform USAID into the world's premier development Agency that prioritizes public-private partnerships, innovation, and meaningful results. He currently serves on the boards of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as well as participates on the National Security Council.
Previously, Dr. Shah served as Undersecretary and Chief Scientist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he created the National Institute for Food and Agriculture. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, he spent eight years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he led efforts in global health, agriculture, and financial services, including the creation of the International Finance Facility for Immunization.
He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and the Wharton School of Business. He regularly appears in the media and has delivered keynote addresses before the U.S. Military Academy, the National Prayer Breakfast, and diverse audiences across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Shah was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He has served as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, been named to Fortune's 40 Under 40, and has received multiple honorary degrees.
He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife Shivam Mallick Shah and three children and has given up mountain climbing for family bicycle rides.
As we look to the future of the DAC, we will all have to adapt to a changing international environment. As important as it is, official development assistance (ODA) is no longer the prime source of capital investment for developing countries, and no longer has the principal role in filling savings gaps. For the United States, for example, our ODA this year will total about $30 billion, the world's largest level by far. And yet private Americans give some $40 billion each year to international relief and development efforts through civil society institutions, faith-based groups, academic institutions and corporate social responsibility. Another $100 billion is sent by American citizens and residents to developing countries in remittances. Equally important, some $1 trillion in investment capital flows from the U.S. to developing countries from all sources each year. Private capital flows have increased seven fold over the past decade.
As a result, we need to consider the new roles that providers of development assistance must fill in the development continuum. We need to use our resources to make strategic investments, targeting the constraints to growth in our partner countries. We need to use our convening authority to bring all parties – including governments, civil society, business, and international financial institutions – to the table. We need to reduce the risk for others, such as private investors and host governments, through innovative insurance schemes and capital investment funds. We need to take calculated risks ourselves where others may fear to tread, always aware that we must be good stewards of taxpayers' dollars.
For many young women in Ethiopia, opportunity is the missing link between poverty and prosperity. To address this gap, the University Preparation Camp for Ethiopian Young Women is committed to creating opportunities for young women and helping them achieve their ambitions of a university education and becoming leaders in their community.
We need to help raise voices of all citizens—and empower their governments to respond. That's the spirit behind today's launch—to build on President Obama's call for open government and inspire a global movement to end corruption and strengthen accountability. This Grand Challenge calls on the world's brightest innovators, entrepreneurs, and engineers to design breakthrough technologies and approaches to make all voices count. In fact, we've already seen some cutting-edge examples at work around the world.
We know we cannot prevent droughts or floods, but we can work much harder and more strategically to ensure these shocks don't devastate families or set back hard-won development gains. That is the goal behind today's launch of our Agency's first-ever Policy and Program Guidance on Building Resilience to Recurrent Crisis. With this policy, we take a step forward in essentially delivering results for the most vulnerable communities around the world.
HANOI -- It is an honor for me to join people who are so dedicated to making Vietnam a more inclusive society for people with disabilities. The theme of this year's International Day could not be more important. "Removing barriers" and being more inclusive – those are goals that resonate in every country, including my own. But they mean nothing without leadership in government and in society.
I am very happy to be here today to mark the handover of more than 5.5 million English language textbooks for students in primary grades 2, 3 and 4. Since 2009, USAID had been working very closely with the Ministry of Education to provide appropriate, quality textbooks and learning materials to students and teachers. These textbooks, and associated teacher training and support for using the textbooks, were made possible by joining Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU) with the Ministry of Education.
I'm delighted to participate in today's launch of the U.S. Agency for International Development's first policy on Youth in Development. At its core, this policy is about making youth around the world an important priority in the decisions and implementation of our work. Last year, the global population of youth surpassed seven billion people, more than half of whom are under the age of 30. A large majority – nearly 90 percent – live in the developing world. Whether we are raising awareness about HIV/AIDS, building roads, or expanding access to financing for entrepreneurs, the support and engagement of young people is necessary for long-term, sustainable development.
As supported by the United States, LMI has implemented programs through a variety of interagency partners on both sides of the Pacific. The U.S. Agency for International Development, my employer, is proud to have a prominent role in that support. Through bilateral programs in LMI countries and regional initiatives managed from offices in Bangkok, we have been particularly active in promoting cooperation on health, environment and water, and education. USAID is hardly the only agency involved, however.
This pragmatic, even utilitarian approach toward LGBT issues guides the work of my agency, the U.S. Agency for International Development. Our development assistance will never be fully effective unless we draw on the full contributions of the entire population, including marginalized groups such as the LGBT community, women, young people, ethnic and religious minorities, people with disabilities, indigenous people, and displaced persons.
For the LGBT community, this means supporting the political, economic and social empowerment of the community. It means protecting LGBT people during periods of conflict or humanitarian emergencies, when they're most vulnerable. It means mainstreaming these issues into our programs in food security, global health, climate change, economic growth, and democracy and governance. Most of all, it means involving the LGBT community in our partner countries, not just as victims, but as planners, implementers and beneficiaries of our programs under the watchwords, "Nothing about them without them."
I am honored to be here to mark another milestone in USAID's support to Ethiopia for land administration and land tenure. This issue is a cornerstone for Ethiopia's growth and transformation plan for land management and land tenure is linked to peace and governance, to agricultural productivity and food security, to conservation of natural resources, and matters to the majority of Ethiopians who reside and farm around the country, and especially to women who are heads of households.

I think you mean Muzzy? I've never seen that show, but I do have a 5 year old and I regularly let him watch videos from CCTV's official video site which has full length episodes of things like Thomas and Friends in Chinese Mandarin.
My recommendation is to show your child 小小智慧树 link to video page here. This is a popular children's TV show in China and is educational, directed at younger children and has quite simple dialogue. Each episode also has a simple song and poem which my son found easy to sing along with.
On the video page you will notice their are videos marked 《小小智慧树》 followed by a date e.g. 20120928. These are the full length episodes.
I find showing my son these shows are much more valuable than having him stare blankly at cartoons as they encourage participation via dance, song and activities.

I am visiting Singapore in May. As a practice I always keep the passport with me wherever I travel. I think how can I show my identity if some officer ask about it. But sometimes I fell it is annoying to bring the passport. If I can leave it at hotel and travel, that make me easy. So I would like to know should someone keep the passport all the time (when travelling inside the country) even after entering in to the country? In this case Singapore.
Your passport is an important document and it should be kept safe at all times. One of the best ways in general is not to have it with you but keep it in the hotel safe.
This varies by location and in some places, it is safer with you. In Singapor, crime is very low and there should not be a problem to have it with you.
My strategy is to keep a photocopy of the important passport page with me. That copy is folded up and takes very little space. It is not an official document but has enough information to show who I am.
Note that in some countries you have the obligation to keep a piece of identification with you at all times. For a foreigner, this often means the passport but not necesarily. Any travel book of the location you are going to usually references the rule but to have the official word, consult the embassy.
I recommend you make a paper copy of your passport and carry that around. Leave your real passport at the hotel. I've traveled to many of the Asian countries (including Singapore) on business and never had a problem. I never needed to show it to anybody and I spent over 3 years total in Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Korea etc.
Usually you can carry a paper copy around in your back pocket for about 4 weeks before it starts to fall apart. If you're going to be there longer than that, you might want to bring a couple copies.
Enjoy Singapore and be sure to try the Durian.
In China hotels usually "demand" to see your passport on checkin.
In China I've had to show my passport before being allowed to use public access internet connected computers. I do not know if they would have accepted a photocopy.
I always carry my passport with me. I use either
All these locations are "invisible" externally, comfortable for me so that I do not notice that they are there.
If you do carry it, take the utmost care with its security. I have had pickpockets attempt to "access" my bags or pockets occasionally. On one occasion I had a small bag on my back, inverted so the front pockets were against my back and a man attempted to reach in and access the zipped pocket against my back as I walked.
FWIW I'd rate my key documents as: Passport, VISA card, baggage reclaim ticket, other including money.
Knowing where your local consulate/embassy is located would be helpful. In Singapore, both the American embassy and Australian high commission are located along Nassim Road, quite close to the Botanical Gardens. If you're from an EU country, knowing where one of the EU embassies are located would be helpful as based on my understanding, EU embassies will be there to help especially when you lose your passport.
Do ask if the hotel/hostel offers a safe deposit box, or if you could leave your passport at the reception. Carrying your photo ID like your driver's license or national identity card would suffice, especially if you intend to head to the nightclubs in Singapore. :)

Bagging Rights
A well-heeled crowd gathered at the Nixon Library for Working Wardrobes' annual Baubles & Bags event—a morning that mixes fashion and charity. (What else?) The affair included an ever-so-tasty brunch, a silent auction and boutiques galore—and attendees couldn't help but nab a few new looks to add to their closets. The highlight, of course, was the fashion show—and credit goes to the nonprofit's members, partners and volunteers for that. They donned their model alter egos—along with casual apparel and eveningwear from The Hanger shops—and strutted their stuff on the runway. All told: The day of style supported the nonprofit's work to provide career development and wardrobe services for women and men in need. Photos by Katie Sarpolis of Zomea Photography

It seems like the input field for writing your messages in a chat application is always placed at the bottom of the conversation.
Do we have any argument for this seen in a UX perspective?
It seems like the input field for writing your messages in a chat application is always placed at the bottom of the conversation.
Do we have any argument for this seen in a UX perspective?
People read from left to right and from top to bottom. Chat applications normally place texts from top to bottom. The newest chats placed at the bottom. Placing the input at the bottom, therefore, is logical.
I don't see it as more than logical.
While in another situation, like a comment thread on a blog, the most recent entry can be on top.
Both situations feel natural for me. Note that my example is with left to right text, but I'm sure it would be very similar with right to left text.
When multiple messages are ordered in order of writing, it is natural to put the latest one at the bottom. This mimics how physical writing works - imagine a long paper sheet or a guestbook where people come by from time to time and leave a note.
Everyone would write their note just under the last note, and it would end up automatically ordered from oldest to newest.
Thus, it is natural to put the input closest to where the result will appear, so the text box goes to the bottom.
You could argue against the "latest last" ordering. For instance, Facebook orders its feed "latest first". Interestingly, with comment threads of individual posts, the comments are ordered "latest last" despite that.
The reason is not related to any language but the nature of the information and the focusing point for getting a general overview of changing any situation.
Conversation is not a static information like the text in book. Placing text on the bottom will let user to get the latest message and ongoing conversation.
The computer console is also working with the same logic the last written piece of information is the last and newest information. From my point of view, there are also other implementation of the same concept.
The stock information or latest news will be positioned to the bottom of the screen because it is the best place that you can keep focal point to the changing information while having a general overview information.
Subtitles are also performing better if it is positioned at the bottom of the page than putting it the top of the screen, and Japanese are also using the same way. Do you mind if we are going to move the subtitles above the screen? Are you going to perform better in that case?
I do not have data but definitely have some connection with that too.
English speakers read from top to bottom.
In order to comment on a Discussion, it is advisable to read the conversation before commenting. By placing the conversation before the input field, we increase the likely-hood that users read before commenting.
In some websites, it is the opposite - The input field is first, then the most popular comment is after it and comments follow in popularity order. The reason for this design is that the website wants the most distinct possible comment threads (they want everyone to state their opinion). After stating your own opinion, you will read others opinions and +1/agree/disagree with them.
Because in all instances, people read from top to bottom - unless you are reading upside down. A chat is context sensitive. Like a conversation, you need to know what happen before in order to contribute your two cents or form a reply or challenge a statement etc. So having the input at the bottom is only akin to what happens to a chat in real life.
As oppose to search.. you really don't care what has happened, you just want that information you are searching for NOW! - I wish real life could be like that.
Whoa! People who are conversant with certain written languages will read from left-to-right, and from top-to-bottom. Other written languages do things differently. This arrangement is only natural for people who read/write certain kinds of languages. I suspect that the input-at-the-bottom started with GUI coders who happened to read/write one of these languages (like English). And, that it continued, because a lot of people just copy what they see others do.
Some of the information contained in this post requires additional references. Please edit to add citations to reliable sources that support the assertions made here. Unsourced material may be disputed or deleted.
I think it's due to:
It would probably work ok to have the input box at the top, if messages scrolled downwards - but it would feel a bit surprising.
Reading a chat session is similar to reading any other script, or book. Writing (Replying) on a chat, is appending to the previous text/ chat. Since it is an append to the last, it makes sense to have the message input closer to the context...
One aspect that has not been mentioned in the other answers is that there may be some form of 'race memory' going on from the days before VDUs when teleprinters were the norm.
In the case of teleprinters / early computer terminals, the most recent text was printed on the current line and the paper scrolled upwards so you could see it. This was my first experience of communicating with a computer, and I'm still coding, so data entry at the bottom is quite natural for me.
While a small proportion of the population would have used computer terminals at the time, the concept was very familiar to a wide population from the humble typrewriter, telex machines in offices, TV shots of football results coming up on a teleprinter, and visual references in films set in that time.

I've just installed crunchbang linux (based on Debian) on some really old hardware (we're talking single cores and DDR memory here) for a simple home server.
However, seeing as the hardware sucks (or for some other reason) X cannot start gdm. This really doesn't bother me because the server won't have a display, I will be ssh'ing in via my workstation. However it's a problem because when I reboot the machine it gets stuck on an X error message (something like "Cannot start X blah blah") and needs direct input to continue. Is there a way I can disable (or even remove) X and the X server from my machine so that I only ever boot into a command line? Is it safe?

I remember a release when tracker was one of the innovations of Ubuntu. What happened to it?
Metatracker, usually referred to as Tracker, was introduced in 8.04 (an LTS release), but removed, I believe, in 9.04. I can only speculate as to why it was removed, but my guess would be multiple bugs, such as 100% CPU when the tracker daemon failed, or the slow start up on less powerful systems due to the indices updating.
I run it on my system and haven't noticed any slow downs, but my laptop is reasonably powerful.
Best choice they could do to remove it. This is the first thing I do on a new installation. If you have a lot of file, usually your system becomes completely unusable. At least with the default settings.

Tamari Soy Sauce Organic
If you think of soy sauce as the salty brown liquid that comes with Chinese take out, think again and, please, experience the mellowness and richness of good soy sauce that awaits. People today are discovering and insisting upon authentic, traditionally brewed soy sauces of which there are two types, shoyu and tamari. What is true soy sauce and how do you select and use it? Shoyu is the Japanese word for soy sauce made of soybeans, roasted wheat, sea salt, and koji (Aspergillus oryzae), mold spores that when exposed to moisture begin growing giving rise to unique enzymes that create the fermentation process. This is the all-purpose cooking and condiment soy sauce made since the 1600s in Japan. A true shoyu's most prized quality is not its own flavor, rather its strong ability to harmonize and enhance the flavor of foods. Its complex natural gives it a deep flavor and beautiful bouquet. These qualities are the result of long, slow fermentation. Fermentation is the process of koji enzymes breaking proteins down into amino acids and carbohydrates into simple sugars, so it's an easily assimilable food requiring little energy of us to digest. Tamari literally means liquid pressed from soybeans, originally it was the thick brown liquid that pooled in casks of fermenting soybean miso. For centuries this tamari was a rare delicacy reserved for special occasions. Eventually producers learned to brew tamari as a liquid soy sauce that had similar characteristics as the original by-product of miso. This tamari is brewed from whole soybeans, sea salt, water, and koji (Aspergillus hacho). Tamari is wheat free and popular with those who have wheat allergies.

Inside The Lies #3
New live footage of Perry, Stephen, and Dave in South America plus more behind the scenes action of the band in the studio recording with producer Rich Costey
I love how they creatively mesh together so well. As the old saying goes "Great Minds think alike" and that shows with this band right here in this video. It is great to see that a band that has been together so long, although was apart for a while, can still make music as great as they did in the beginning and never lose sight of who they are and where they came from. That is so important I think when you are watching and listening to these bands because as they become bigger and forget their roots you can almost hear it and see it in their music that it's starting to take over them and that should never be the case. Music should never be your life, your life should be "ABOUT" the music, and the creativity behind it. Every song tells a story. If you're making music your life than you're living for the pay check and not living life and telling the story. At least that's how I see music and view it when I listen and watch videos or go to concerts. I see musicians put their heart and soul into performances and I can see how songs touch them and that is, to me, what the art of music is about.

Clearly it isn't in the best interest of anyone to allow hostility to get out of control. A simple solution would be to have a mod come in and clean things up but this situation left me wondering how Stack Overflow itself could help diffuse hostility? Maybe you could look into implementing something similar to what Hacker News does by adding an ever increasing delay to posting comments as the number of comments increase.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
This was a question about some very doubtful micro-optimization, and in the end there still is no clear use-case. The OP did throw in some totally unrelated (as it turned out) code, after many requests for clarification.
In the end, if I look over the comments (I guess I was in your "mob" as well), I see no unacceptable behaviour. Let alone hostile. Just a lot of good advice going unheeded, and an OP who is very insistent on doing the wrong thing, only reluctantly explaining the issue.
In the end, an SO "mob" just tried to rescue a very bad question.
If you find an case of out of control hostility then flag it for a moderator. I don't think comments should be delayed, this would hamper needed clarification/communication even in cases where there were several comments.
Stack Overflow has to contend with a problem that afflicts all helping communities: annoyance and repeated stupidity. Or at least repeated apparent stupidity.
This question is a fine example. The OP asked about a micro-optimization that would in the vast majority of cases be deeply pointless. He didn't include a use case, and he didn't indicate why he though this was an important thing to optimize.
In theory none of this is a problem. But many people who read that question said to themselves "Again?!?".
Stack Overflow sees a lot of these, and most of them are asked by relative newcomers who don't really know what they are doing, or what they should be doing to optimize. Telling them not to bother, and pointing them at the reason why is doing them a bigger service than answering the question.
A really experienced poster would know to say "I know this is usually stupid, but I think it is important in this case because...".
To be sure, the OP hasn't posted a bunch of these before, but I'd give dollar to donuts that the users responding in the comment thread have dealt with a bunch of them. A tendency toward curtness is natural, though it should obviously be held in check.
Here is a place where a gentle comment could help both to remind the commentariate to be nice and to smooth the posters ruffled feathers. If it goes beyond that stage, flag for a moderator.
To analyze this particular case
The initial comments were polite, but of the "Are you sure you want to do this?" variety.
The OP responded with "I'm going to process a lot of data.", but still with no suggestion of why this seemed like a good idea. (He may have thought "a lot of data" was a reason, but that doesn't help his case.)
After that the comments get more strongly worded, but there are still helpful in intent.
The OP eventual gets fed up enough to post
Frankly I find the OP's intransigence more troubling then the admittedly hot-n-heavy attempts to help the OP figure out if this was or was not a good idea. Scolding and berating people who are trying to help you is not a way to make friends.

City Blogger: Steven Allweis
- 03 September 2013 10:01
- Posted by @viewfromablue
Following the recent announcement of the team of eight City Bloggers from around the world who will be writing for us this season, it's time for the next piece courtesy of Steven Allweis - the man behind the excellent View From A Blue blog...
He was there. Always there. Not flashy, not courting the limelight, not attracting attention.
Whilst our attacking stars grabbed the headlines, their eye-catching talent and dazzling quality clear for all to see, one man slipped largely under the radar. He has been an instrumental figure over the past few seasons in our growth and success, yet he was barely mentioned when talk centred on our most important players. He was Gareth Barry. And he was a true unsung hero.
Of course, our creative midfielders and strikers, on form, are a thrill to watch: Sergio Aguero's spellbinding ability to glide past defenders with his low centre of gravity, David Silva's majestic guile around the box, Jesus Navas's terrifying turn of pace and direct approach. I could go on. But whilst they are captivating and destructive to the opposition, Barry's influence, often in the shadows of a game, patrolling in the background, went unnoticed.
During the title-winning season and again last year when others dipped below expectations, Barry was always there, providing the balance to the side. His reassuring presence in front of the defence, shielding without fuss, was the platform to enable our more creative stars to cause havoc further forward. He didn't desire praise from afar. He just did his job. And he did it superbly.
He may not have been blessed with pace, but his reading of the game, his anticipation of danger and his clever use of the ball more than compensated for that.
...View From A Blue
When our attacks broke down, he was perfectly in position, mopping up in midfield, regaining control and getting us started again. It wasn't flamboyant, but it was essential.
As MCFC's very own Head of Content, Chris Bailey, said on Twitter last season after another midfield masterclass: "Those who know the game understand Gareth Barry is top, top class."
Perhaps he was one of those players you needed to see live every week to truly appreciate. Watching on TV, when he was often out of shot, maybe didn't convey his excellence. The amount of times non-City supporters criticised him was nauseating, their lack of appreciation for Barry painful. But he was a rock for us since joining and the players respected that. Who better than David Silva, the creative genius himself, to back that up by voting for Barry as his player of the season when we won the Premier League.
There are certain individuals who aren't glitzy on the pitch, who don't surge past defenders or produce thunderous strikes from the edge of the area, yet their contributions shouldn't be neglected. At City, James Milner is another who never receives the credit he deserves. Putting rivalry aside for a fleeting moment, Michael Carrick keeps Manchester United ticking, Claude Makelele at Chelsea was an essential cog in their success for many years and even Arsenal, for all their stylish football in the year of the title-winning Invincibles, required Gilberto Silva to give them a solid foundation. Not many notice them going about their business, but that shouldn't diminish their importance.
As the transfer deadline loomed last night, Barry moved on to Everton and while, sadly, he has left us, his contributions won't be forgotten. So thanks, Gareth, for everything you achieved at City; for your understated authority, your consistent excellence and your unfussy control of midfield. You were a star. It's about time you got the praise you deserved.

We will be digging in on "how to draw chibi Typhlosion", step by step. I had fun creating this tutorial, but I find the chibi Snivy to be my favorite Pokemon tut created this week. I've been getting bugged like crazy to do more chibi Pokemon tutorials, and since chibis is my forte, I say "why not?" I really appreciate all the comments ya'll leave me, as I read EVERYONE of them! Sorry for not replying them on sight since I have so much work on my hands, it's almost impossible. With time, I'll reply to them; you can chat with me on Livestream or in the DragoArt private IM box if you'd like. Anyways, let's move onto this tutorial, since lots of you are dying for more of these little buggers. Thanks for viewing and enjoy the tutorial. Don't forget to let me know how you did!

If you live an hour or more away from a loved one who needs care, you might wonder what you can do to help. Start by understanding options for long-distance caregiving, ranging from coordinating services to providing respite for a primary caregiver.
Long-distance caregiving can take many forms. From afar, you might:
You might also arrange to stay with your loved one while his or her primary caregiver goes on vacation.
You can take many steps to be an effective long-distance caregiver. For example:
Careful planning can help you effectively use your time with your loved one. For example:
Many long-distance caregivers feel guilty about not being able to do enough or spend adequate time with a family member in need of care. If you're feeling guilty, remind yourself that you're doing the best you can. It might be helpful to join a support group for caregivers. You might benefit from the tips of others as well as the knowledge that you're not alone.

Kibbud Av VaEim UMoraam 6:11 cites two opinions on this subject. Chida and Sdei Chemed argue that indeed in that case the child should use a different title for his father; by contrast, the Ben Ish Chai (in his responsa Torah Lishmah) says that "Abba" is inherently a respectful title.
(It is interesting, too, that we find the amora Shmuel calling his father "Abba" when that was his personal name - Berachos 18b.)

Please suggest me some references in this topic.
Also, are there good results regarding homeomorphisms of $S^1, S^n$ which are more explicit in nature/expression ?

The patient-centered medical home is a model of care emphasizing care coordination and communication to transform primary care into "what patients want it to be." Research shows that medical homes can lead to higher quality and lower costs, and improve the patients' overall experience. "The patient-centered medical home model of care allows us to engage our patients who then participate in their health care decisions," said Mamdouh Mickail, M.D., Morehouse Community Medical Centers' Medical Director, Pediatrician and General Practitioner. "It is the coordination of care and pre-visit planning that improves the patient's experience."
Each patient's care is tended to by clinician-led care teams, who provide for all the patient's health care needs and coordinate treatments across the health care system. Medical home clinicians demonstrate the benchmarks of patient-centered care, including open scheduling, expanded hours and appropriate use of proven health information systems.
"The patient-centered medical home raises the bar in defining high-quality care by emphasizing access, health information technology and partner ships between clinicians and patients," said NCQA President Margaret E. O'Kane. "PCMH recognition shows that Morehouse Community Medical Centers has the tools, systems and resources to provide their patients with the right care at the right time."
Morehouse Community Medical Centers, Inc. is among only 147 practices/clinicians recognized state-wide under the PCMH 2011 Program. Parnell said, "It was a long hard process to earn this Recognition, but well-worth the time and effort, which will improve the quality of care provided to our patients."
NCQA is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality. NCQA accredits and certifies a wide range of health care organizations. It also recognizes clinicians and practices in key areas of performance. NCQA is committed to providing health care quality information for consumers, purchasers, health care providers and researchers.

I load a huge-huge image with imageWithContentsOfFile:, so I have to set up an activityIndicator during the process.
Is there any way/any delegate callback I can use to be informed about the end of this loading process?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
You could start an activity indicator, load your big image into memory in a background thread and then go back to the main thread and stop the indicator.
Short answer: Nope. sorry!
Long answer :
You could open the file in a background process (an NSOperation?) bit by bit using C style methods i.e. fopen, fread etc) and fire notifications back to the main thread during the load. Then create the image and fire a notification that the image is ready?
If you want to have a delegate & be informed of the progress of the load, you can use an

For macro of reflecting things you need a as big as possible lightsource.
If the stuff is really reflective, put another piece of paper on top and leave just a small opening to take the photo through:

Intrinsically Safe Gas Detectors
What is an Intrinsically Safe Gas Detector?
An Intrinsically Safe Gas Detector is one which is intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere where, due to the nature of the environment or the industrial process taking place, there is the risk of an incendive spark from electrical apparatus causing an explosion.
These gas detectors are designed so that the energy produced in the event of an electrical fault is insufficient to cause an incendive spark.
An Electrical Safety Barrier Device must be used to connect power and signals between the gas detector and the 'Safe Area' (i.e. the area outside the potentially explosive atmosphere where mains powered equipment exists). This is necessary in order to preserve the safety integrity of the installation by limiting the power entering the potentially explosive atmosphere to a safe level - refer to the Accessories section for details of suitable barriers.
Examples are the water, pharmaceuticals and chemicals industries.
Status Scientific Controls offer the following ranges of intrinsically safe gas detectors:-
Type FGD3 Series
The FGD3 series gas detectors are powered from an intrinsically safe dc power supply and provide an industry standard 4 to 20mA output signal.
They are available for detection of the following common gas types - follow the links below for further information:-
- Flammable Infrared Gas Detector
- Carbon Dioxide Infrared Detector
- Flammable Gas Detector (including Hydrogen) using 'pellistor' sensor technology.
- Oxygen Deficiency Detector
- Hydrogen Sulphide Detector
- Carbon Monoxide Detector
- Chlorine Detector
- Nitrogen Dioxide Detector
- Ammonia Detector
- Sulphur Dioxide Detector
- Nitric Oxide Detector

I have had the Bomber letter sized Circa notebook for about 9 months. While I have some of the filler's, I make my own pages to suit my style of organization. This allows me to keep track of the things I need, based on what kind of job I am doing. I added dividers, pocket folders, and calendars. I can keep a large amount of information, and because of Circa, I can add pertinent items in EXACTLY where I need them. The only thing I don't like it the pen loop, in that it stretched out, and hang out to the side of the notebook.

Disappointed with color of Bomber Jacket Notebook
By Linda Lee
from Orlando, FL
I was very excited about ordering the Bomber Jacket Circa Foldover Notebook. I loved the look and the dark brown rustic leather with the complementary plaid inside the notebook. When I opened the package, I thought I had the wrong product! The Bomber Jacket leather of the notebook I received is so dark that it appears to be black leather! It doesn't appear to be dark brown at all. Also, the full grain look of the rustic leather in the catalog is missing. I was so disappointed that I put it back in the box and haven't even used it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

What a pleasant surprise. To me, organizing is mundane, but then I opened up the box to this beauty and it was like Christmas. I paired mine with copper rings. It's a really sharp combo, and the quality is impressive. I kind of look forward to my morning planning now.

I love this notebook & I love the Circa system. The pages are high quality and fountain pen & rollerball inks do not bleed through. The cover is great quality and has a stylish look and feel to it. I put the 1 1/2" platinum discs on it and it holds my Circa planner in addition to all the pages I need to track my Property Management business. I wasn't sure how much the masculine look would appeal to me, but after reading the other reviews decided to try it. I am very happy with my purchase!
Quality Product

This is the second item in the "Bomber Jacket" line that I have purchased and I continue to be impressed. The circa system is great and this is an impressive and sturdy cover for it. My only suggestion would be to include some pockets on the rear cover for additional card/paper storage. But only a suggestion, great product!

I bought my first Circa product in 2001 - a black leather junior notebook - and have used it everyday since. It is more beautiful than ever because leather - good leather - wears over time to a lovely patina. I have been wanting to get a Bomber cover but couldn't justify it because my old one is in perfect working condition still. I saw it was on sale and finally just went for it. One of the things that drew me to it was the lining. I have a thing for men's wear fabrics. Also, the size is perfect for stuffing into a purse. This cover is so aesthetically pleasing. I will love it just as much as I still love my fifteen year old one. Thanks, Levenger, for such nice products!
Stylish, classy and versatile!

I purchased one of these notebooks for myself and loved it so much that gave two as gifts to colleagues. My friends' reaction was very positive as well. I love the leather, the inside details, and the versatility of this product. I am a big fan!!

Don't be offended Paul. There was not any finger pointing intended by my comment. It was simply stating that it was easy to make a video without any mistakes in riding technique through creative editing and it took more courage to leave a few mistakes in. If we rode perfectly all the time without any crashes or bobbles riding the tandem wouldn't be near as much fun or the trails would be so boring we might as well road ride.

NFL Makes a Big Push To Keep Fans in Seats
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and league officials went on the offensive Friday, citing the advantages of the in-game NFL stadium experience, and outlining new initiatives to get fans into the seats.
While NFL attendance was steady last season (the total in the regular season was up slightly), there's growing concern among teams that in the age of plasma televisions and rising ticket prices, there's a bleak outlook for in-game attendance. Goodell, speaking at a meeting with sports editors at the NFL's headquarters in New York, said the in-game experience is still a better experience than staying home. He said he's spoken with many fans who have offered an array of suggestions to keep fans coming—one this week, for instance, suggested the league needs more health food.
But don't expect the league to focus much on kale. Instead, the league is unveiling a wave of technological initiatives to go along with improved wireless Internet and newly built giant videoboards. Eric Grubman, the NFL's vice president of business operations, said one shift will be the mandate for all teams to have a camera in the locker room, which will presumably show dramatic speeches or pumped-up players during pregame. Grubman cautioned that the league wouldn't mandate content and every team would determine what is shown.
Grubman said the league is also working with teams to control ticket prices, suggesting that the league's motto is "a ticket price for every fan." In addition, Grubman mentioned a "frequent flier" program, adding discounts or other perks for season-ticket holders could keep fans from fleeing to the secondary market.

The Tigers have been rolling of late. Winners of seven out of the last ten games, Detroit won its third straight series after beating the Colorado Rockies 5-0 in the series finale on Sunday. The lone blemish in the series came in the first game when the Rockies exploded for eight runs in the top of the 10th inning in a 12-4 win.
Aside from the one disastrous inning the Tigers' pitching was dominant allowing only six other runs during the three-game series. The Tigers are now just two games under .500 with a record of 32-34. They made up ground on both the White Sox and Indians. After both teams lost on Sunday the Tigers trail the division leading White Sox by 3 games and the Indians by 1.5 games.
Here are some of the top performers from the Rockies series:
Feel free to check out both of the websites linked above, and listen to the show (embeded below or via download). My segment starts at about the 30:30 mark, and lasts about 15 or 16 minutes.

The Tigers defeated the Chicago Cubs 5-3 on Thursday afternoon to take the series and lift their record to 30-33. The Tigers were supposed to shred the American League Central en route to their second consecutive division crown, but this series win, after taking the series from the Cincinnati Reds over the weekend, marks only the second time this season that the Tigers have won back-to-back series.
In fact, we have to go all the way back to April 12 to remember this feeling. The Tigers swept the Boston Red Sox to open the year, then took two of three from the Rays, and then pretty much fell off the radar. They've won a few series in the mean time, and even swept a couple of them, but they hadn't put back-to-back wins together in those 17 series.no comments
I've seen a lot of overreaction by Tigers fans across the net to Ryan Raburn's recall from the minor leagues. He hadn't hit well in Detroit, he hadn't hit well in Toledo, but many feared that the skipper would automatically pencil him back into the lineup the moment he returned to the locker room.
Hopefully Jim Leyland put some of those fear to rest today when he announced to the press that Raburn wouldn't be taking over at second base. Chris Iott of MLive has the tweet:

Ryan Raburn will not be the everyday second baseman. Jim Leyland: "He's got to do something." #Tigers— Chris Iott (@Chris_Iott) June 14, 2012
Blisters seem like the silliest injuries for pitchers, where we usually think of elbow or shoulder damage, but they're incredibly tough to deal with, especially when they're as large as the one Drew Smyly developed during his last start on Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds.
So Smyly and the Tigers have no choice but to let the finger blister rest and heal over before he can resume throwing. Detroit will make his DL stint retroactive to June 11, so he'll be eligible to pitch again on June 26. Smyly's immediate replacement in the rotation hasn't been announced, but I think the hope is that Doug Fister will be feeling well enough with his side strain to be activated in time to pitch on Saturday.no comments
First things first: Jhonny Peralta isn't an above average fielder at shortstop. He doesn't have spectacular range and he doesn't make plays with the flair of Troy Tulowitzki or Asdrubal Cabrera ,* but he does do one thing well, and that's make the plays that are expected of him.
*Rod Allen raves about Asdrubal Cabrera's glove, and he certainly makes you say 'wow' time and again, but his career UZR/150 is a pretty bad -10.2. Peralta's career UZR/150 at shortstop is -2.9.
Peralta has always been a bat-first type of player; the type of player who's bat more than makes up for his defensive shortcomings at one of the lightest-hitting positions in the game. But I don't necessarily think that this lumps him into the group with Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, Brennan Boesch, and Ryan Raburn (at second base). Guys who are truly terrible at their position defensively.no comments
Apparently Double-A is no big deal for Nick Castellanos. The Tigers announced on Tuesday that they were moving up their top position player prospect from Advanced-A Lakeland (where he hit .405/.461/.553 in 55 games) to AA Erie.
Castellanos made his first appearance with the Erie SeaWolves last night, and was immediately inserted into the starting lineup as the cleanup hitter. But Nick didn't allow the bigger stage to bother him. He singled in his first plate appearance of the game, hit a sacrifice fly that drove in a run, and smacked a double (number 18 on the year).
One game is obviously a tiny sample, and we can't come near to making any conclusions about how he'll adjust to AA pitching, but instant success is always encouraging. At just 20 years of age, Castellanos is crazy-young for AA (he was young for A+ too), so we shouldn't be disappointed if he doesn't continue to put up a 1.000+ OPS against the near-major league caliber pitchers he'll see.no comments

Omicron Theta system
Redirected from Omicron Theta star system
this wiki
The Omicron Theta system was a remote, uninhabited star system in Federation space.
Prior to 2328, colonists from Earth established the Omicron Theta colony on the planet Omicron Theta. The colony's primary mission was scientific in nature. A being known as the "Crystalline Entity" destroyed the colony, as well as all life on the planet, in 2338.
That year, a Federation cruiser, the USS Tripoli, responding to a repeating signal located the inactive body of Data on the planet.
Twenty-six years later, the USS Enterprise-D diverted its course briefly to this system in the search of answers as to Data's origins and the events leading up to the death of the colony. In the course of their investigations, they recovered the body of Lore. (TNG: "Datalore")

Hello there,
i know I posted a question about 24-70 settings earlier (http://www.nodalninja.com/forum/show...-d700-afs24-70) and the best - but not perfect - settings so far where those posted by 2BsCalifornian:
"24/155, 28/153, 35/143, 50/134, 70/139 are the correct settings, I think, for the D700 + 24/70mm f/2.8 combo"
i'm assuming the A value is 100mm (as written in the support section for a 14-24 lens)
could anyone using a d700 with nikon grip on it verify them and maybe post something more accurate?
Also - did you try to shoot with a 50mm 1,4 G? I need a a shallow DOF for a shot so this lens and tons of consecutive photos should do the job - the problem is, i'm a having a really hard time trying to figure out all the settings by my own.
Thanks a lot

Meeting Overview
Purposes, Personas, Conversations - Practical Techniques for Everything You Create
One of the most important contributions of technical writing has been the realization that everything we write is part of a conversation between author and reader. And as we have all moved from paper to screen, from large screen to small, from static writing to dynamic exchanges, conversation has become even more important as the way to think about writing (and all product design).
Come spend an interactive evening with Ginny Redish, working through real examples to see the power of the conversation model. You'll see how to make sure that your purposes are measurable, specific, and focused on your readers / users / site visitors. You'll see the value of always having those people with you (even as "mini-personas").
And you'll see how walking those personas through their conversations helps you get the right interaction, the right design, the right copy to both satisfy their needs and achieve your goals. You'll come away with new tools for everything you create – from emails to blogs to web content – even to hardware and apps.

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
You can only really hope to log this and raise alerts. Users who can administer the hardware can always stop the service and bring a database up in single user mode etc. They can give themselves elevated permissions etc.
It's a common requirement to segregate administrative duties so that server admins cannot see confidential files or confidential data.
However, because every administrative role can typically elevate their rights or create other users, requiring users to use least privilege accounts for their daily work and auditing what is done with elevated accounts is really the only way to deal with it.

Is there any list of game names anywhere, so i can choose a name for my game and avoid (legal) conflicts with other games as much as possible?
closed as too broad by Josh Petrie♦ Jul 21 '13 at 14:56
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I'm not sure if it's complete but I guess you can complete it yourself if you want/need:
Looks like there are TONS of pages *__*
For your licence problem, a google search might be more useful.
Also, from comments :
I think the only thing you can do to make sure you got a licence not registered is to register it. The laws of different countries and other things makes it hard to check if you have legal rights on a licence you're creating a name for. If you can't find anything on google, check again, check variants. Then if you don't find, maybe try a legal move. They will tell you if it's already taken. Or they should.
Contact a lawyer for details relative to your country laws and international laws.
You can use Google to fast-discard some names, but if you are doing something seriously and professional I really encourage you to pay some legal advocates/experts to do that. There exists many registry for products and brand names, and all this stuff is too much complex to be managed by someone that is not an expert.
If you are starting a game I also suggest you to take a PROJECT name and leave the decision of the final PRODUCT game to a more advanced stage.
There is a much easier way around this: go onto Google, or your favourite search engine, and search for
Using a longer name with more elements in it should open your options. For example (and I have no idea if these are real game titles because I just pulled them out of my ahem!! Moving right along...):
Although it isn't a definitive way to check, "Googling" your game name ideas can help to prevent the majority of conflicts. Reserving a matching internet domain name will usually do the trick though (especially for computer games).
An important note about using Google to check names: If your game name includes multiple words, enclose it "within quotations marks" to instruct Google to handle your phrase as a single keyword. This will save you a lot of time because fewer (if any) results, that are also more relevant, will be returned.
(Study exercise: Try using http://www.Google.com/ to search for both the game names I suggested above, or something similar of your own creation, and try it with and without enclosing "quotation marks." You'll be running four queries in total.)
You can try Mobygames, they're trying to build a comprehensive index of all games.

Unanswered: How to get value of a combobox in a proxy store?
I have a store that sends a parameter to my controller. When I define my store
proxy: { type: 'ajax', scope: this, url: 'My/GetData', extraParams: { parametervalue: Ext.getCmp('Combo').getValue() //something similar } }
I want to get the value of the combobox when the grid is loaded. It also works with paging, so when the user hits next page the store loads the second page "with" the selected value in the combobox, which it passes to my controller.

So the store is already created so the getValue is going to happen too soon correct? You could have a beforeload event listener to add in a param.
Or when the change event fires on the combo, add that value to the extraParams of the store.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Very nice deal. Hitachi by WD. Hitachi used to make decent drive, now I'd say they're average.
Wow, prices are almost back to pre-flood level!
@sbaylus: Prices aren't back to pre-flood level. I bought a couple 2TB drives for this price a year ago. Okay... they were 5400rpm, but still...
@sbaylus @kacia: I second that. I bought two Hitachi 2TB's in May 2011 for $69 each. I now wish I had bought a dozen at that price.
FYI, the best value right now seems to be in the 3TB range, where you can find drives floating around the $150 mark ($50/TB, $20 less than this drive).
I'm not sure if any of you are interested but I found this external 2tb for 90 bucks.It is also usb 3.0 and 7200rpm if you care about those things.
@zollars23: I wouldn't consider 2x prices to be almost. However, according to heuristic reports, production should return by end of year; however, we'll be used to current prices by then so it might not drop
