Medicare Is Unlikely to Restrict Coverage of Drug-Coated Stents
WASHINGTON -- An official at the agency that runs Medicare said the government insurance program would "probably not" restrict coverage of drug-coated stents in response to concerns that they increase the risk of blood clots -- a statement that could bring a little comfort to stent makers.
Coated stents relieve chest pains by propping open clogged arteries, and they release a chemical to prevent re-clogging. As of July, 89% of stents used in the U.S. were coated. Their use has plummeted, to 62% in September, after evidence emerged that they slightly increase the risk of blood clots a year or more after implantation, when compared with plain-metal stents.
In February, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said it was considering a process to restrict "off-label" insurance coverage for the stents in response to a December 2006 hearing by the Food and Drug Administration about clotting risk. Coated stents cost about $2,300, compared with roughly $800 for bare stents.
Any restriction in coverage would have been bad news for Boston Scientific Corp. BSX 0.00 % and Johnson & Johnson, JNJ -0.10 % manufacturers of the drug-coated stents sold in the U.S. In an interview at an industry conference here yesterday, Marcel Salive, director of medical and surgical services in the agency's coverage and analysis group, said "tangible action" by Medicare in response to the December panel wasn't likely.
The FDA and Medicare had indicated they were concerned about the use of such stents off-label, or outside the categories approved by the FDA. Coated stents haven't been rigorously studied in patients with heart attacks, small arteries or multiple clogged arteries, although the stents are used in these applications.
The FDA panel concluded there wasn't enough evidence to assess the risks and benefits of stents in off-label patients, who constitute roughly 85% of all stent patients, according to various estimates. Although the FDA hasn't approved the marketing of such stents for off-label patients, Medicare generally pays for such uses. Last year, the agency spent $4.3 billion on coated-stent operations.

This is the top version of the Moana Dress from Papercut Patterns which I made in 'Spring Silouhette' from Liberty London printed onto a lovely lightweight silk crepe de chine. I'm really pleased with how the fabric and pattern work together! It's a lovely patterm to sew up, with the dipped hem ruffle and all in one facing but I did make my life difficult by picking such a delicate fabric! I was really careful with the techniques I chose and am delighted with the finished top apart from a few fit issues around the armholes. Full details can be found on my blog here http://chainstitcher.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/liberty-crepe-de-chine-moana-top.html

As Jenn Anderson began to close in on her college decision over the past year, there were two constants — Bowling Green and Indiana. So when Bowling Green coach Curt Miller was hired as the new women's basketball coach at IU on March 28, the pieces of the puzzle began to fit.
As a result, the 6-foot-3 junior center from Westfield made the decision two weeks ago to become the first commitment for the Hoosiers in the Miller era.
"IU was recruiting her all along, and Bowling Green was as well with Curt Miller," Westfield coach Shane Sumpter said Thursday night. "I think she liked him, and it fell in place pretty well for her when he got the job. She spoke with him and then committed."
Anderson has been no stranger to Bloomington. Sumpter said she made an official visit to IU last year when Felisha Legette-Jack and the previous coaching staff were recruiting her, and she's made plenty of unofficial visits as well since her older sister attends Indiana.
Anderson averaged 20.5 points and 11 rebounds for the 14-9 Shamrocks this past season while shooting 61.3 percent from the field. She was named to the Indianapolis Star Super Team and will be a member of the Junior All-Stars South squad, which will play the seniors June 4 in Seymour.
Sumpter said she averaged better than 14 points a game as a freshman and has averaged a double-double every year since while playing in the Hoosier Crossroads Conference against highly-rated national recruits such as Brownsburg's 6-3 Stephanie Mavunga and Hamilton Southeastern's 6-3 Taya Reimer. Sumpter says Anderson can hold her own.
"As post players go, I don't know there is anybody better in the state as far as a back-to-the-basket post player," the Westfield coach said. "Stephanie Mavunga is highly regarded, but when you watch those two play, there's not a lot of difference, but I'm biased."
Sumpter says its Anderson's soft hands and soft touch that separates her.
"Tremendous hands, a soft touch around basket and probably the best hands that I've coached. If she gets a hand on it, she'll catch it," he said. "She has nice post moves and understands angles very well in post. She's really strong."
Here's a scouting report from just last month via Midwest Recruiting Report (MWRR):
Jenn Anderson, 6'3 F/C, Westfield High School 2013, Hoosier Elite – Imposing 6'3 physical force in the paint. Can utterly dominate opponents in the post with her size, strength, and skill. Establishes post position early in possessions and seals opponents off, at which point she is able to easily score off a variety of drop steps, hook shots, and pump fakes. Has excellent footwork and scoring touch in the post. Great rebounder, always boxing out her man and timing her jumps so that she gets the ball right as it comes off the rim. Solid position defender, using length and defensive instincts to shut down the paint. Needs to be more vocal. Tends to play passively at times, needs to stay up and maintain high energy level throughout the game.
Good start. Would like to see Coach Miller get on a roll.
3 weeks in and making an impact.
Just as I have said all along, coach Miller will recruit this state at a high level. Something that has been missing the last 6 years. We can only hope it is not to late for him to make an impact in getting someone to come in for next year's team, it will be tough! If anyone can do it, he can!!
Welcome to the Hoosier family Jenn. Nice job Coach Miller!
I'm hoping Coach will not automatically concede players to Notre Dame. That was so frustrating when I'd read how the former regime wasn't even recruiting a player because ND was interested in them. I always thought that spoke volumes about competitive fire.

Ledyard - Mayor John Rodolico takes his job as leader of this town of about 15,000 people seriously. He spends most of his days and many of his nights and weekends tending to municipal business, going to meetings and representing the town at various events.
But come a natural disaster, the mayor has an uncanny way of checking out.
On Wednesday, two days before a blizzard blanketed the region, Rodolico left town on a cruise. In October, during Hurricane Sandy, he was on a Chamber of Commerce trip in China.
"When he gets back, I'm super-gluing his butt to the chair,'' his assistant, Mark Bancroft, said Monday.
"He doesn't go away that often, but when he does ..." said Town Council Chairwoman Linda Davis, who as deputy mayor helped coordinate snow cleanup this past weekend.
Davis and Bancroft said the mayor is a hard worker who deserves his vacation. It's just a bit strange that bad weather hits when he takes one.
The day Rodolico came back to town in November after the hurricane, Davis said she asked him when he was going away again.
"He said, the second week of February, and I said, 'oh great, we'll probably get a blizzard,''' she said.
Rodolico has been in sporadic email contact, Bancroft said, but has no cellphone service.
"I know when he was in China, he was very frustrated that he couldn't physically be here.'' Bancroft said. "I'm sure he feels the same way now."
Despite the mayor's absence, the town is running smoothly, Bancroft said.
"We're just fine. We have a super staff that works for the town. They pretty much know what to do and we let them,'' he said.
The Public Works Department has 12 full-time and three part-time workers out clearing 142 miles of roads.
"Ledyard roads are in great shape compared to my street in Mystic,'' he said. "My street looks like a bomb went off."
Rodolico is on a cruise in the Gulf of Mexico and is expected back Saturday, which is also when snow showers are expected.

Texas-based medical device manufacturer
Cyberonics Inc.
) reported first-quarter fiscal 2015 adjusted earnings per share
(EPS) of 53 cents, reflecting an increase of 17.8% from the
year-ago number. However, adjusted results missed the Zacks
Consensus Estimate by 3 cents.
The year-over-year improvement in earnings was primarily driven
by strong revenue growth and a positive outcome on the operating
margin front.
However, without taking into consideration the one-time items,
Cyberonics' net income was $13.5 million or 50 cents per share, a
massive jump of 55.6% or 61.3% from the respective year-ago
equivalent numbers.
Cyberonics, Inc - Earnings Surprise |
Quarter in Detail
Revenues increased 4.5% year over year to $72.0 million in the
quarter, but missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.7%. The
year-over-year growth was aided by strong U.S. net product sales
and unit sales.
In the first quarter, worldwide unit sales increased 5% year
over year to 3,524 units. On a geographic basis, Cyberonics
recorded 4.4% growth in U.S. net product revenues to $58.8 million
and unit sales growth of 2%. International product revenues grew
14.5% at constant exchange rate to $13.2 million with unit growth
of 13.9% amounting to 1,024 units. Foreign exchange movements
favorably impacted international sales for the quarter by $500,000
on a year-over-year basis.
The company witnessed impressive sales growth in Europe and
Latin America. The expanded launch of Cyberonics' AspireSR
generator in the U.K. and Germany was on par with the company's
expectations. The company also experienced an estimated 20% growth
in sale of its VNS Therapy implants in Japan during the reported
Gross profit rose 5.2% to $65.6 million in the quarter.
Consequently, gross margin expanded 60 basis points (bps) to 91.1%
from the year-ago quarter.
In the reported quarter, a 12.7% increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses to $33.0 million and an 11.8% decline
in research and development expenses to $10.6 million led to a rise
of 4.5% in adjusted operating income of $22.0 million. However,
adjusted operating margin remained flat at 30.6% on a
year-over-year basis.
The company exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents
and short-term investments of $132.7 million, compared with $128.3
million as of Apr 25, 2014. Cyberonics has no interest-bearing debt
on its balance sheet. The company repurchased 189,000 shares in the
first quarter of fiscal 2015. It is now left with 551,000 shares
under its current buyback program. This program is expected to be
completed by the end of fiscal 2015.
Cyberonics reiterated its fiscal 2015 guidance. The company
continues to envisage revenues in the range of $300¬-$307 million,
reflecting annualized growth of approximately 10% (adjusting for
the single country order of $4.7 million and license revenues of
$1.5 million for fiscal 2014). The current Zacks Consensus Estimate
of $304 million falls within the company's guidance. Cyberonics
expects global unit growth of roughly 7%.
Fiscal 2015 EPS continues to be expected in the range of $2.33
to $2.39. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.37 lies near
the upper end of the guidance range.
The company also expects gross margin in the range of 90-91% and
income from operations in the band of $96-$99 million in fiscal
Our Take
Cyberonics reported a disappointing first-quarter fiscal 2015
results, with both the top and the bottom line missing the Zacks
Consensus Estimate. However, the company's year-over-year outcome
was impressive on both the earnings and revenue front.
We remain encouraged by Cyberonics' solid foothold in the
drug-epilepsy market, wherein the company achieved notable success,
especially in the European countries and Latin America. Meanwhile,
the company continues to reward shareholders with attractive share
repurchases. However, the company is currently facing headwinds
like fall in new patient activity and constant insurance related
Zacks Rank
Currently, Cyberonics carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Some
better-ranked stocks in the medical instruments include Alphatec
Holdings, Inc. (
), RTI Surgical Inc. (
) and Bacterin International Holdings, Inc. (
). While Alphatec and RTI Surgical sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong
Buy), Bacterin holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

GMP warning of phone scam
Green Mountain Power warned customers Thursday that several attempts to scam its commercial customers over the phone have been reported.
The caller claims to be representing Green Mountain Power and asks customers to pay their account balance by releasing credit card information or paying with a money card or other payment mechanism.
The caller also states that the customers would have electric service disconnected if they did not comply.
GMP said it follows very clear processes when working with customers about paying their bills and advises that it would not demand credit card information or alternate payment for any purpose.
This is clearly a phone scam, GMP said.
Any customer receiving such a call should not provide the caller with personal information, including account or credit card numbers, and should contact Vermont State Police or their police departtment.MORE IN Central VermontA new VPR poll finds that Secretary Hillary Clinton may have a tough time winning the last 30...

Historical Traveler Reviews Barcelona Center Hotel
Excellent hotel! Excellent rooms... The staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, including tour reservations, maps and recommendations around the city. We will definitely stay there again!!!
Five Great Nights
Our first two nights at the hotel were part of a tour package and the remaining three nights we were on our own. The hotel was ideally located, close to the Metro as well as many buses. Public spaces were comfortable and was pleasant to sit in them and talk to our fellow travelers.
Found the front desk staff extremely helpful, especially the young man who was on duty in the early morning. Each morning after the tour had left, I would come down with my list of sites my husband and I wanted visit, and he would patiently plot them out on the map for me; and always with a smile. The coffee show was a delightful place to have an expresso in the afternoon, and unlike many hotels, the prices were extremely reasonable.
There are many great restaurants within walking distance from the hotel.
Rooms were very nice, comfy beds, lovely bathroom and free in room safe. (In other areas of Spain we were charged 3Euros per day for use of the safe. If returning to Spain, I would most definitely stay at this hotel.
Excellent Location & Quality Rooms
This hotel is a couple of km's from the the Gothic area but within easy reach of it and all the other attractions due to the nearby Metro. It's easy to get to from the airport thanks to the mainline train that stops at Passeig De Gracia (4 stops from the airport) and which only costs 3-4 Euros. The rooms are very modern, clean, quiet and comfortable. Lots of black marble and modern floral displays. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The bar is reasonably priced and staff don't object to you taking part finished bottles of wine to your room. A real bonus is the close proximity to the Gaudi La Pedrera apartment block, which is worth going inside to see the roof and apartment. It's also close to his Casa Batilo. You can walk to the Sagrada Familia in about 30 mins. The breakfast bar is extensive and the fresh fruit paticularly good.
Loved the Hotel
Absolutely loved this hotel. Great Location, lovely rooms staff were very helpful as well. Breakfast was superb with lots of variety to choose from. Only downside (which is not a downside was that the channels on the tele - seemed to cater for the sport/football orientated but would definitely book this hotel again.
Excellent hotel at a good rate
We wanted a hotel in the Eixample area with a carpark and
were delighted with our choice. As we arrived during the rush hour we put the car in a public carpark until we reached hotel. The staff were fantastic and sent someone with my husband to move the car into their own carpark and bring up the luggage.
We booked a superior room at a very good rate through Hotelclub
on tripadvisor, which included breakfast. The room was enormous and very nicely decorated - good comfortable bed, huge tv flatscreen, good mini bar and loads upon loads of
wardrobe space. Very nice bathroom with bath and shower, also bidet, loads of useful toiletries ranging from comb to
razor to toothbrush apart from the usual. Best of all was an enormous walk in dressing room with huge mirror and good lighting PLUS your very own umbrella in case of rain.
If you want to be away from the busy Ramblas but well situated, this is a great place to stay. It's adjacent to the Rambla de
Catalunya where you can sit along the centre of the ramblas and
also just five minutes from the Passeig de Gracia. Buildings in this area are stunning and you will be walking with your head held upwards most of the time.
In the downstairs lounge there's access to the internet at minimal charge. Also a lovely range of big coffee table books to look at about Barcelona and the Costa Brava. There's also a good coffee shop within the hotel open until late.
Good breakfast with huge spread . All in all thoroughly recommend it. Friendly staff were the finishing touch.
Great hotel!
What a great place to stay in Barcelona! It's in the centre of town, but away from the noise and the cheap tourist beat. The nearest metro is Passeig de Gracia, 2 blocks away (about 500m). This metro is also on a direct line from the airport (Renf Line 10) so if you don't mind carrying your luggage two blocks, that's a cheap way to get to the hotel (taxi is 20 Euros weekdays, 30 euros weekends).
The hotel treated us like royalty. Nothing was too much trouble. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. What they didn't know, they found out. The room was immaculate, clean and elegant. Room service was quick and spot-on, also very reasonable priced considering the quality of the hotel.
We didn't use the restaurant. The breakfast is buffet style, beautifuly presented and high quality. Eat as much as you want.
At the end of a busy day, you can use the fantastic rooftop jacuzzi, with views over the city. You can see the spires of Sagrada Familia from here. There is also a sauna and a fitness room up here.
If you want a quality hotel and price is not a limiting factor, stay here.
Great Hotel
This is an excellent hotel for a city break due to all of the below:
Excellent Location
Efficient Service
Smart Decor
The highlight of this hotel is soaking in the jacuzzi on the rooftop of the hotel after a day of sightseeing round Barcelona
Well worth of a visit......
Great hotel to stay in barcelona
i was staying in that hotel in august for 5 nights
this is a very nice and butyfull hotel in the hart of the Eixample
the room is amazing and its got a flat panel tv. bathroom with off white & black marble and many mirrors framed with a cheery wood what gives it a nice warming feeling.
the nearest metro station is passeig de gracia (from here also you can take one of many Renfe trains if you are planning to travel outside of Barcelona ) and its about 10-15 minutes walking distance from the hotel. there is also another train station (FGC not metro )whice is one black away on provenca street and from there you can take the train to catalunya station and switch to the metro (i'm not sure if you have to pay again to get to the metro) the easiest way is also to take a taxi which are not expensive (from the hotel to sants train station is about 5 euro)
i didnt had a chance to eat the hotel breakfast but i know that its cost 17 euro (away too much) there are many places on pasaige de gracia that you can have a breakfast for 5-7 euro as well as starbucks.
there is a free internet conection in the room which is great if you bring your own loptop with you. at the looby they have a pc but to get online will cost you 5 euro for 15 minutes its better to look for an internet caf�.
if you like to eat like in America there is a place that called "vips" on passaige de gracia its also work as drugstore and open till late (i don't know why but their coke is taste so good :-)
watch for your wallet and keep your bag in the front instead of the back.
have a wonderful time in one of the greatest cities in the world
i did.
Hidden Gem!!
by louise and dan
we had orignially booked a different hotel, however due to bad reviews we cancelled it and found this on the website.
This is a beautiful hotel in a perfect location in barcelona. five minutes from the posh shops of louis vuitton and gucci etc.
daily we walked from the hotel to the area around the sagrada famillia, this was 20 to 30 minutes long and once there we enjoyed shops such as; starbucks coffee, and for sustinance mc donalds, pizza hut and kfc- brits abroad!!!
Back to the hotel- the rooms were spacious and air-conditioned, big flat screen tv, but not many english channels.
The bathroom was AMAZING it really made you feel glamorous.
on the second day we found the sun terrace on the 7th floor, complete with sun loungers, tables and parasols and two jaquzzis, which we spent most of our week in. these really helped us relax after a long day of sight seeing.
staff-- very friendly and helpful
bar/resturant- nice food, great surroundings
Taxis stop regularly outside the hotel, taking you to any destinations, and they were very cheap prices. we found this better than using any bus, train, etc, it was alot more convenient.
in closing, we would highly recomend this hotel. we would even use it again ourselves for future trips to this beautiful city.

The song is called "L'Estaca" which you can find at the end of my pictures. ...

Parking is what I hear is the most frustrating to students on campus. The school is growing every day with more students and more buildings so it's hard to place parking locations while it's expanding within itself. There is hardly any room to grow but it's happening anyways.
It would be better if the parking lot was larger to accommodate more people.
BYU-I NEEDS to build more parking or put in a parking garage if they want people to come to their school.
There really aren't that many spots for free parking for when you have people that come visit you, like family or friends. It's really hard to find a parking spot where you don't need a permit and its free.
it's costly. I would recommend walking or riding a bike..

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Parking is a sore topic for many students. There are not as many parking lots or even parking spaces for the number of students owning cars. The parking lots that are available are primarily on only one side of campus, so if students do drive, they'll still end up walking across campus to get to class.
That being said, BYU-Idaho is a small campus. Students can cross from one side to the other in about 15 minutes on average by walking. Most housing complexes are only one to two streets away from the campus, if not just across the street. Even community housing for married students and students with a family is within a reasonable walking distance. There are still students who do have to travel a couple of miles to get to campus, either because they live in a nearby city or at a local residence outside the main parts of town—these students are who the parking is intended for. For most students, walking is less of a hassle, and they don't mind having to walk when they know they'll eventually end up walking across campus anyway.

Would like to get a list of advantages and disadvantages of using Stored Procedures. The main advantage of SPs seems to be precompiled and an abstraction of data from the application. Give me your thoughts....
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.
Correction: Whether they're precompiled depends on the database. In SQL Server, for instance, they're not. Stored procedures and parameterized SQL are both compiled before being run. A stored procedure can sometimes reuse an execution plan if a corresponding one exists...but so can parameterized SQL.
Edit: Here's what MSDN says about it:
Advantages: Provides a "public interface" to a database (another abstraction layer).
Also groups all queries at the same location, making it easier for DBAs to see how the database is queried and optimize it accordingly.
Disadvantages: May not be the best place to put complex logic. However, following the idea that complex logic belongs in application code and not in stored procedures, stored procedure become simply CRUD operations (each table has a "Create", "Read", "Update" and "Delete" procedure). In that case, stored procedures don't add any value to the application, they only complexify maintenance and become waste.
Queries are all grouped together, so it's harder to see the context of the application where they are being used. Analyzing the impact of a change is longer, and doing the change is longer as well.
Therefore: use stored procedures to encapsulate complex queries (complex joins, complex where clauses, ...). But don't use stored procedure for complex application/domain/business logic, and don't use stored procedures for CRUD either. So stored procedures should be used in a minority of cases rather than be the standard tool for all queries in an application.
Group code (including queries) to achieve "functional cohesion" instead of grouping by tool/technology. To allow a DBA to optimize a database based on how it is being queried, use a profiler.
By using SPs, you also avoid having to give users direct access to tables. All access can be controlled via the SPs.
With the current .Net 3.5 framework libraries, I would use Linq to perform most database operations. There might be places where SP makes more sense. But Linq has provisions to run an SP too.
On the topic of disadvantages of SP, check out the following link - an interesting analysis. Check the blog post's comments too.
Advantage: Stored procedures can be used to maintain data integrity and enforce database policy without relying on an external program to do so.
Disadvantage: Can make debugging more complex. Can also be sensitive to being dropped during copy operations, if not done correctly.
Just a few reasons I use stored procedures exclusively when building applications:
Another disadvantage is version control, because some of the business logic is now in the database side. Can you easily roll back to v1 (one year ago) from v2 (now)?
A feasible solution is versioning the stored procedure names. But now the database is a mess with old and new stored procedures.
Advantage: the DBA can add behavior that the application doesn't care about. For example, storing a modify date on each row.
Advantage: your database-related code is more likely to be written by staff who are interested in and skilled at database work.
The advantage I see in using Stored Procedures over writing the same logic within application code is that it can reduce the number of calls the application makes to the database.
A stored procedure can take in its arguments and make different decisions and actions based on those arguments instead of returning a result to the application, and then the application making a decision and decide it needs to perform another action and make another database call.
The bottle neck in performance is almost always inter-process communication. I try to make the minimal amount of calls to the database.
Advantage: the operations team has a hook to monitor or fix problems in production.
Advantages: SP's are used to excute set of sql statements. Disadvantages: Debugging is complex
Another advantage can be in large enterprise environments where you could have multiple client applications & environments (such as web, desktop, reporting tools spread over different OS's) that use the database. For some business rule changes the change can be made in the database and this would be effective in all environments.
Advantages -
It increases the load on server. If other applications or more than one application are using the same database server they become slow.
the simple answer would be as a follow: adv: it is the most powerful structure to encapsulating T-SQL Codes. it is not limited to SELECT, and it supports all the DML codes. it provides to receive inputs and to return outputs directly.
dis: it is not possible to call it in the SELECT, so you cannot run it for several records.

Talk:Germinal (novel)
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Hi, I made a minor change to the wording: I got rid of the bit about a "fit of anarchist fervor" because it doesn't make sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 23:07, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi all. I'm currently going through Emile Zola's Les Rougon-Macquart adding more information for each novel. I've done the first five novels in the cycle and the seventh (incidentally if anyone thinks this is too much information please say so!) Zola's most famous novel is titled "Germinal", after a month in the French Revolutionary Calendar, but all current Wikipedia references to both the novel and the month point to this page. Since the "what links here?" stats line up pretty much equal between articles pointing to either of the two meanings, I was wondering if a disambig page might be a better idea here, and if so, how does one go about doing that?
Please forgive my asking such newbie questions, but, well, I am one.
Its probably not necessary until more information is added to both the calendar entry, and the book entry. Germinal is a good book. Lirath Q. Pynnor
-- Yes, but I want to expand the book entry to about eight or nine long paragraphs, which will mean the page as it currently stands will be one line about the month and then a much, much larger amount about the novel. I'm very firmly of the opinion there should be 2 separate pages and I just wanted to know what the procedure should be - what you're saying is just to do it and let someone else who knows what they're doing disambig the entries later? Fosse8 06:09, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Okay, now it's kind of all over the place. The French- and German-language links are interesting, both those Wikipedias have different approaches to this page. Help? Someone? I don't know what I'm doing Fosse8 08:56, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
If the page only has one line about the month, then the month does not need its own article. Lirath Q. Pynnor
Okay, I think it's alright the way I've done it now. The foreign-language links are still a bit crazy though. Fosse8 10:48, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I have thought about memory > bigger then I have > ( now I have 2GB ) > > Sorry for wrong question. > Proper question is: > If I will have more memory in my computer should I do sth to use all my > new memory with sbcl ? I wouldn't worry too much; sbcl seems to claim 8Gb of memory by default, and to fall over with a surprised expression if it then discovers the hard way that there isn't that much available. The option you'll find most useful is the --dynamic-space-size runtime argument, which lets you tell sbcl how many Mb to reserve. I've found it very useful to restrict the allocation to 256Mb because: a) it starts up _much_ faster b) that's all that's spare on the server that runs my applications c) that's really all it needs for what I'm doing anyway In your case, if you need more rather than less, you can easily specify something like -dynamic-space-size 4096 to tell it to reserve 4Gb, which ought to be enough for anybody :) The relevant manual page is http://www.sbcl.org/manual/Runtime-Options.html - you'll find it useful to read through the runtime and toplevel options anyway, just to know what's available. There's a further option of compiling sbcl with a different default allocation. You'll find a discussion on that subject in this list's recent archives if you want to go to that extent, but the runtime option will almost certainly be sufficient - it's also a bit more flexible if you want to start the same binary with different allocations at different times. Hoping this helps, James

Kelly Qualey and her teams lack of competence caused my mom and I more heartache than i can describe. When she had failed us miserably and cost me thousands of dollars she quit and Lutheran Social Services was the only other service available. They are EVEN WORSE. Kelly was found in contempt of court for failing to file mandatory paper work and deserves worse. She closed her company took the money and ran. She even screwed her own attorney but he deserved to be screwed. My poor mom has been stripped of every shred of dignity and now is dying of depression in a nursing home. Thank you to the failed guardianship program and the attorneys who put her there. She deserves a negative rating for her ethics and complete lack of moral compass. And she got a new job in banking. That is scary!

Terrible! If you can avoid this organization, do! The head of GFAS is as unethical as they come. She makes decisions based on favoritism, not what is best for her client. She spent a total of 15 minutes with my mother before making major decisions about her care. She admitted in her year-end report that she had only visited my mother 3 times, yet she made many major decisions affecting my mother during that year. All of her decisions benefited one member of my family not my mother, her client. She consistently showed preferential treatment of some family members over others. She insinuated false accusations toward family members resulting in limits to their visitations. My rating is ZERO

|Season 4
|Season 4 (Change Is Coming)
|When TechTV and G4 merged in March 2004 to become G4TechTV, many knew that change was coming. And for awhile, everything seemed to stay somewhat stable. On February 15, 2005 TechTV was removed form the network name and in September, G4's longtime CEO was replaced and everyone had felt the change. With the addition of The Man Show to the network, everyone knew that a network once concentrated on video games and technology would soon become something different.
Icons had been dedicated to providing the back story to all things video games. Each episode concentrated on someone or something important or influential to the culture of video games. However, that trend changed in October 2004 when in it's third season Icons aired it's first non-game related episode covering Mark Cuban. Some argue that this was an experiment for the future, while others don't even consider it an official Icon's episode. (Others would argue that Dungeons and Dragons from Season 2 was it's first, but that did tie in the video games it had influenced and created) Then one year later, after the CEO change Icons again went against the video game grain by airing an episode devoted to the films of horror director George A. Romero. While the following two epsiodes covered video game systems, the final episode of the season covered the movie re-remake of King Kong. While the movie was made into a game, the episode concentrated on the movie and movie history.
Also during 2005, the same group that produced Icons worked on 9 episodes of a show called Game Makers. These episodes while similar to Icons in that it covered the video game industry, they were different in that each episode took you behind the scenes on the creation of the game. Most Icons episodes occasionally discussed this detail in process while concentrating on the history and public impact the topic created. Game Makers gave the audience the blood, sweat and code that went into game creation. Some beleive that this would be the eventual direction that the show would head in that Icons would concentrate on the pop culture while Game Makers would continue to cover only video games. These rumors were never confirmed or denied.
In it's shorest season ever, Icons was beginning to lay it's foundation towards it's totally different future. Old time fans would eventually become angry at the eventual change, while the new direction would add a few new viewers to it's fanbase. At least G4 allowed fans to enjoy the old Icons episodes being repeat under it's new name Game Makers, while the original Game Makers have yet to be seen again.

After graduating Cum Laude from Willamette Law, Breckan opened a practice in Salem, Oregon, and provided services in a variety of practice areas, including criminal law where as a new attorney, she negotiated a favorable plea deal for a client in a very high profile criminal case. She continued to practice remotely from Washington after relocating in 2008.
Since her admission to practice in Washington in 2009, she has represented clients in almost all types of personal injury cases including motor vehicle accidents, nursing home negligence, wrongful death, and premises liability cases. She has also advocated for workers' compensation claimants, including those involving RCW 51.32.185 firefighter presumptive occupational disease claims. Breckan also obtained experience on the defense side of civil litigation in Washington, which increased her effectiveness as an advocate for injured people by providing key knowledge in how defense counsel and insurance companies handle cases.
Her better half, Ryan, was stationed at Ft. Lewis prior to his taking an honorable discharge so they could focus both on his career in the private sector and Breckan's practice. During his most recent deployment, Breckan focused her energies on being a part of the military community, which included providing pro bono services to local soldiers and their families, including assisting in estate planning and family law matters. She continues to support the military community, and has expanded her volunteerism into the civilian world through several venues. Breckan is also currently the volunteer attorney advisor to the Yelm Food Cooperative, a quickly expanding venture in Yelm, Washington.
On a personal note, Breckan is originally from Wasilla, Alaska where her passion for helping people was instilled in her from a family committed to public service and volunteerism. Her grandmother, May Carter, was the first US Commissioner in Alaska, and her grandfather, Pat Carter, began the first program in that area to help reform adolescents who were struggling with behavioral issues. Her mother, Colleen Scott, remains an active part of the community as a certified CASA volunteer and through service on the Library Needs Committee for the City of Wasilla. When she is able to visit Alaska, Breckan enjoys spending time with her mother, sister (Jocelyn Scott-Williams), and six nieces and nephews. Both Breckan and her mother have been active in the horse community since Breckan was a child, an interest which continues to this day. Breckan and Ryan currently reside in Yelm, Washington with their three horses, german shepherd, and very large cat.
"I observed that, in a lot of law offices, it seemed as though the attorneys were either passionate and disorganized, or organized yet ambivalent. I have always wanted to be an advocate for people and am elated to provide the competency, care, and commitment that clients deserve from their advocate. That is the foundation for effective advocacy: waking up every day loving what you do, and having the discipline to do it efficiently." -On why she decided to open a practice.
Hourly ($325-375/hour), contingent (33-40%), Fixed (sometimes), Retainer (sometimes)

Maybe Norfolk State just vibed the NCAA Tournament off its natural axis for every favorite, but as the slight favorite Saint Marys Galloping Gaels reflect on their own one-and-done, the inscription
Everything in Moraga right now has a tinge of the giddy about it, because the basketball program is now considered a standard-bearer for mid-major programs.
Randy Bennett said all the right things about Purdue, about the NCAA Tournament, about whatever he had to say about whomever he had to say them.
Saint Mary's returned home to crowds of Gaels fans in Moraga.
When you get Randy Bennett liquored up (and so far, only a few have ever seen it), you can surely get him to admit that his greatest goal as Saint Marys head coach is to become the next Butler, Xav

Gag Reflex Alert: Rich Kids Of Instagram — A Novel?
Back in August, eyes around the globe collectively rolled after the Rich Kids Of Instagram-inspired show was announced. Well, get ready to grimace your way into the weekend: The RKOI are striking again, making the jump from yet another screen to — you'll never guess — a book. Our thoughts instantly went to the coffee-table flipbook category, filled with shots of popped bottles and Ferraris, but it's quite the contrary.
The people behind the wildly controversial Tumblr are actually penning a novel. That's right, come summer '14, what they promise as a "dishy and hilarious tale about the intersecting lives of the world's most extravagant, unapologetically uber-rich teenagers" will hit shelves. Could this be the first of a RKOI series? Let's hope not. The book, dubbed Rich Kids of Instagram: A Novel is available now for pre-order, in case you're, er, interested. Excuse us, we can feel our breakfast slightly coming up.

Warning: Missing argument 2 for translate() in /home2/rareexc/public_html/seobrien/wp-includes/l10n.php on line 20
What's going on??
Warning: Missing argument 2 for translate() in /home2/rareexc/public_html/seobrien/wp-includes/l10n.php on line 20
What's going on??
I've got this one too. Something is calling the translate() function in the wp-includes/l10n.php file, but isn't passing is an argument for $default.
The problem does not seem to be in the wp-includes/l10n.php file. There are a few wrapper functions which call translate(), but all of them seem to have two appropriate arguments.
Does anyone know where translate() might be elsewhere in the wordpress files?
Investigation continued...
The warning still appears on my blog's mainpage after I turned all plugins off.
I didn't find "translate(" anywhere else but in wp-includes/gettext.php, and in that file, the function is completely different: with one argument translate($string).
Still stumped.
I don't know if this is the same for you guys, but I was using WP-Translate, and got the same error you did after upgrading (actually, I had to rename the WP-Translate directory to deactivate it to get WP to work after teh upgrade).
The place that I got the error was in my footer, where I had added the code for the flags for the translator -- I removed the code and the error went away (so JUST disabling the plugin wasn't enough).
Unfortunately, I don't know php well enough to know what call is missing or misinterpreted, so will wait for more folks to have problems with this plugin. :)
hope this helps.
Nice, pearce!
That's exactly what it was. WP-translate is somehow broken. Thanks.
I'll go look at the plug-in files and see if I can find anything.
Just to clarify, here's the (temporary) solution for this issue:
<?php translate(2); ?>
It is most likely in one of the following files: Header, Page Template, Sidebar, or Footer.
If you still can't find it, try searching for:
<?php translate(1); ?>
<!--<?php translate(2); ?> **Commented out: WP-Translate plug-in causes php warning.**-->
Note: This problem may occur for anyone who has used WP-Translate or one of its derivatives, like Robs Translator.

Released: Feb 01st, 2005
Running Time: 72
Director: Donny Supreme
Company: Urban Adult Entertainment
Cast: Mercedes Ashley, Jack Luvv, Wade Sunset, Chloe Black, Crenshaw Connie, Destiny Diamond
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Black girls.
Blunt-smoking, 40-ounce-drinking duo of Wade Sunset and Jack Luvv cruise through the mean streets of Los Angeles banging (fake) street hookers and other urban broads. The sex is amateurish, and the production values are sub-par, but the package as a whole has some charm to it that's worth noting. Sunset and Luvv create a couple of characters that viewers may care about.
Now, if they can only fill it with some better sex, they might get something worth stroking to.
Granted, the title does have its moments - like when the boys give Chloe Black a drenching double pop. And when Mercedes Ashley and Destiny Diamond arrive to join the boys for a foursome, we get a glimpse of some professional potential.
But the boys have a ways to go to compete in today's hardcore market.

"Kirkus' review of The Mill River Recluse played an important role in encouraging readers to take a chance on a first novel by an unknown author."
— Darcie Chan, independent author of The Mill River Recluse, which sold more than 500,000 copies
After many years as a journalist—investigating presidents, congressmen, and labor union officials, examining the military-industrial complex, civil rights and social justice issues—I never imagined that the most challenging and rewarding story would be about my own family.
Growing up in San Antonio, I knew little about my Kallison grandparents in whose home my mother and I lived for the first twelve years of my life. They were two of 23 million men, women and children—two million of them Jews ...
A man receives a telegram. From it, he learns his mother has died. The telegram requests that he travel to a nursing home 50 miles away to attend to the details of her burial. Reluctantly, spitefully, he makes the trip, then returns home as quickly as he can to spend time with his girlfriend, for whom he has no feeling.
Thus opens Albert Camus' debut novel, The Stranger (1942), a book that exemplifies that old saw about idle hands and ...
The Day of the Dead is a holiday that, unlike its predecessor Halloween, has been long overlooked in much of the United States and other dominantly Protestant nations. Thanks to fast-changing demographics, though, it is finding its place on both the secular and sacred calendars here.

Ryan North's September book, To Be or Not to Be, reveals what a trailblazer the 32-year-old Canadian writer, webcomics creator and computer programmer is. A highly ambitious, multioptional narrative based upon Hamlet, with 110 possible death scenarios illustrated by 65 artists ("a lot of them are friends, so it wasn't too hard," North quips), To Be or Not to Be was met with a blank stare when North presented it to his agent, who warned that "choose-your-own-adventure books are ...
To the 12-year-old me, reading was drudgery. It was difficult, boring and stupid, more like work than entertainment. That attitude dug an intellectual hole that took me years to escape.
Did I have a learning disability? Who knows? It was the '70's and the concept was fairly new. In the motivate-or-dismiss paradigm of the day, I couldn't get it so I was disciplined for being "lazy" and marginalized as "slow." I took it all personally, withdrew, and found refuge ...
My wife often says I'm a contrarian, and I'm afraid I have to disagree with her.
That pretty much sums up my learning curve. It's been hard, but I get there eventually.
When I saw a front-page article in the New York Times about David Mamet "self"-publishing through his agent, my knee-jerk reaction was: Well, that's not self-publishing! Unfortunately, I was not looking in the mirror.

The Urban Bestiary grew out of an honest sense of mission: It is my passionate belief that daily connection with the natural world makes us healthier, more vibrant, more intelligent and even happier.

This book is a kind of literary instruction manual for living well in the urban wilds. When I look around ...
By now, the canonization of Tracey Garvis Graves has been well-documented among the chat-room classes. Her self-published debut novel from 2012, On the Island, hit No. 7 on Amazon's top 100 and became a New York Times best-seller. MGM optioned it, and Variety wrote about the deal, leading to a contract with Penguin, which re-released the book through their paperback imprint Plume. This September, her latest novel, Covet, will appear in hardcover through another Penguin imprint, Dutton.

If it were done with photographs of a real person, and the copy had subtitles on the photos reading "I lost my panther print suitcase" and a subhead near the logo saying "There's an easier way to explain", then this would look a lot better, but it would still take too much time to understand.
I agree, the drawing is crude and almost unfinished. It seems like a sketch idea that was chosen because of lack of time. It wasn't even refined or completed.
I like the idea. And do you wann know why? Because you have to read the copy to understand it. A paradoxon i know.
Good ad.
Sure, the illustration looks crude...but so does a lot of other illustrations from high paid artists.

Los Angeles, CA – 10/07/2013—
Stressful situations are an unavoidable part of everyday living. Chronic stress can manifest physical maladiessuch as headaches, muscle pain and tension, fatigue, or upset stomach, but overtime also contribute to the development of heart disease, obesity, high bloodpressure and diabetes. For this reason,reducing stress levels are necessary for an improvement in overall wellness.
One suggestion for reducing stress is to try meditating, or focusing themind on something other than the stress trigger. "Research suggests that daily meditation maylater the brain's neural pathways," says Chicago psychologist Robbie MallerHartman. This refocusing can help aperson feel more resilient to stress, and enable them to relax during periodsof high anxiety. Meditation can be donealone, or can be found as part of yoga and Tai-Chi classes, whichleads to the next suggestion for stress reduction.
Physical activity, in addition to staving off the other healthissues that arise from chronic stress, can help reduce stress levels andimprove happiness in those who exercise regularly. Several studies have shown improvements insleep quality, an increase in levels of alertness and enhancements inconcentration, all things that can help reduce levels of stress.
Psychologists and therapists alike recommend reaching out into aperson's social circle for help in managing stress levels as well. Numerous support groups are available if aperson feels uncomfortable talking to friends or family, but socialization hasbeen shown to reduce levels of stress in greater amounts than trying to dealwith issues alone.
While not a preventative measure, reducing stress levels will have apositive effect on a person's health. Ifalready suffering from heart disease or high blood pressure, lowering chronicstress will aid in the treatment of these conditions, and improve overallphysical and mental well-being throughout the person's life. The above suggested steps to reduce stresslevels are excellent health practices for anyone, whether they're chronicallystressed for fantastically free.

Just sharing this in case someone else happens to run into this.
I'm using Limit Login Attempts along side WebsiteDefender WordPress Security and ran into a minor issue. WDWS removes login error message and changes the style setting so the error box or message don't display at all.
Honestly, I'm torn between the security of having no login error messages displayed (so no potential hacker gets info), and having my users go insane not knowing why they can't log in.
For now I've changed a single setting on one of WDWS's stylesheets (acx-styles-extra.css) so the login error form does display. However, WDWS still removes the error message for regular login failures, so the error box shows up but has no message. However, LLA messages come in a different way (or don't call whatever wp login error message hook) so they still show up. Not the most user friendly, but I'm good with that for now.

China Arrests 2 in Milk Scandal as Number of Sick Infants Rises
BEIJING -- Chinese police arrested two men on suspicion of contaminating milk used to produce baby formula with a toxic chemical, as the number of infants reported sickened by the bad milk powder jumped to 1,253 and authorities disclosed a second baby's death.
Ministry of Health officials said on Monday that two infants had died from kidney problems after ingesting milk powder contaminated with melamine, the same toxic industrial chemical linked to tainted dog food exported to the U.S. The milk powder was sold by Shijiazhuang Sanlu Group Co., one of China's biggest producers, which is 43%-owned by Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd., of New Zealand.
The crisis raises questions about China's ability to regulate its products even after reforms enacted in the wake of tainted exports of pet food, toothpaste and drugs starting last year.
Government officials have announced a nationwide investigation. On Monday, local police in Sanlu's hometown of Shijiazhuang said they had arrested two brothers who had been selling three tons of contaminated milk a day to Sanlu, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency.
The brothers, surnamed Geng, ran a private operation collecting milk from farmers for resale. They allegedly began putting melamine in their milk late last year, after their milk was rejected by Sanlu "for failing to meet Sanlu's standards," Xinhua cited a police spokesman as saying. Xinhua didn't elaborate, but experts say nitrogen-rich melamine, used to make plastics and fertilizers, is sometimes illegally added to food products to boost their apparent protein levels.
Xinhua cited the police spokesman as saying the brothers could face charges of "producing and selling toxic and hazardous food." The men couldn't be reached for comment. It isn't clear how much of the tainted milk they might have been responsible for.
One of the infant deaths caused by the milk powder occurred in May, the other in July, but officials didn't link their deaths to the milk until after Sanlu notified central-government authorities in September. Sanlu had known of a problem with its products as early as March and was aware of the melamine contamination starting in early August, according to officials. Authorities say that 340 infants are still hospitalized, including 53 who are seriously ill, while another 913 are mildly ill.
In Sanlu's first public comment on the matter, on Monday Zhang Zhenling, the company's vice president, read a letter of apology at a news briefing. "The serious safety accident of the Sanlu formula milk powder for infants has caused severe harm to many sickened babies and their families. We feel really sad about this," Xinhua quoted him as saying.
Fonterra, Sanlu's part-owner, said it pushed for a recall as soon as it learned of the problem Aug. 2, but some have questioned why it didn't disclose the information to the public. On Monday, Chief Executive Andrew Ferrier defended Fonterra's actions, saying that revealing the problem before Chinese officials did would have been "totally irresponsible."
"This is just a huge tragedy, and we just have to focus on getting the product off the shelf and to be very, very concerned about the implications of this," he said.
New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark said she was told of the problem on Sept. 5 and three days later ordered that authorities in Beijing be notified. "As you can imagine, when the New Zealand government blew the whistle in Beijing, a very heavy hand then descended on the local authorities," she told Radio New Zealand.
Baidu.com Inc., China's most popular Internet-search site, said it had been contacted twice by a public-relations firm representing Sanlu, on Sept. 9 and 12, asking Baidu to block negative news about Sanlu from its site. Baidu said it had rejected the request. Baidu didn't name the public relations firm, and Sanlu couldn't be reached for further comment.

If you have have a way of resizing your canvas, you can implement this easily.
Create a camera class (or constructor function, in the case of JavaScript), and make it have properties like zoom, position, maybe even speed and acceleration.
Then, when you are rendering it, call this:
You can now move your camera around the world, without actually moving the world.
And for zooming... You must have a way of scaling your entire canvas, before/after of rendering anything:
There are different implementations of the
In most implementations, though, you'd want to save the state of the canvas, scale, render, and then load the state back. Why? Because scaling with a factor of 0.5 two times in a row wouldn't give you a picture two times larger, but a picture 4 times larger. You're not setting a constant scaling factor by calling

Only on the amount that is past the 50/50 split, which starts around $1.50/unit. XTXI, not counting the LP units that it owns, gets 23% of the total cash paid out by XTEX (for every unit outstanding, roughly $2.56 is paid out, with $.60 going to the GP and $1.96 going to the LP).The amount they make from the 2%, 15% tier, and 25% tier is rather miniscule, totaling around .15/unit.

Tumble.io is a weird site I built + designed awhile back. The whole concept is to have a few words describing a set of links, and then just an unordered list of links. Hard to make links too interesting, so I'm hoping by keeping it simple and posting interesting content, I'll keep people coming back.
