Prevention of Sprains and Strains
Sprains and strains are caused by accidents. People don't plan on becoming injured, but there are some practices that may help prevent injuries. Muscles need to be warmed up before exercise and work.
Sprains and strains are caused by accidents. People don't plan on becoming injured, but there are some practices that may help prevent injuries. Muscles need to be warmed up before exercise and work.
A sprain is an injury to a ligament, while a strain is an injury to muscle or tendon tissue.
The purpose of muscles is to allow the body to move. A muscle attaches to bone on each side of a joint, either directly or by way of a tendon. When the muscle contracts, the joint moves through its range of motion. The muscle that you can feel moving underneath your skin is really made up of many smaller bundles of muscle fibers called fascicles. These, in turn, are made up of individual muscle fibers that are crosslinked to allow them to slide back and forth within the fascicle. Sliding together causes the muscle fibers to shorten and the muscle to contract and move the joint. When the muscle relaxes, the muscle fibers return to their resting position and as the fibers elongate, the joint may return to its previous position.
The transition of muscle to tendon happens gradually as muscle fibers give way to tendon fibers before the bony attachment occurs. The anatomy of each tendon is different and depending upon their location in the body, the tendon portion may be very short or very long. A strain is damage caused by an overstretched muscle or tendon, causing their fibers to be pulled apart, losing the ability to adequately contract. The severity of injury depends upon the amount of tissue that is damaged. The muscle fiber may be just stretched, partially torn, or completely torn apart.
The most common cause of a muscle or tendon strain is overuse, which weakens the tissue fibers. Muscles and joints may also be forced to perform movements for which they are not prepared or designed, stretching and potentially damaging the surrounding muscle or tendon. An injury can occur from a single stressful incident, or it may gradually arise after many repetitions of a motion. The damage can occur in three areas: the muscle itself, the muscle tendon intersection where the muscle fibers transition to tendon fibers, or the tendon itself.
Strains are described by the severity of damage in three grades:
Joints are stabilized by thick bands of tissue called ligaments that allow the joint to move only in specific directions. Some joints move in multiple planes. Therefore, they need more than one group of ligaments to hold the joint in proper alignment. The ligaments are anchored to bone on each side of the joint. If a ligament is stretched or torn, the injury is called a sprain.
The grading system for sprain injury is similar to that of strains.

Best of the City
The Editors | Photo: Greg Powers | December 27, 2013
From culture to design, food to fashion, an upcoming year has never looked so positively appealing.
Magic Man
If an artist can define a city in transition, Gabriel Mellan is it. His current work includes massive sculpture, photography and video. "I make big, loud and often heavy sculptures that sometimes move, illuminate and make noise," says the artist, who experienced childhood in DC and Maui before spending his teen years in Japanese public schools. His most recognizable work, an interactive sound column dubbed "Heptachord," challenges our capacity to appreciate our senses. The year ahead for the Corcoran College of Art + Design grad promises more pop-up exhibits at places like Union Market; a photography project in Finland; and filmmaking in China, Bangladesh and Nepal. "I'm really humbled to have a life that allows me to pursue my passion of art and teaching," Mellan says.
Bodies, Rest and Motion
Susan Shields can hardly believe her good fortune—or the fortunes of those who appreciate dance in the Washington region. As the director of the School of Dance at George Mason University, Shields will host 500 dancers and the public March 8-11 at the Center for the Arts as part of the American College Dance Festival, which lands in Fairfax this year. While four days of performances (including the Joffrey Ballet, March 7-8) are on tap, one of the biggest coups is the program on March 9 in the Concert Hall called A Life of Dance. Panelists for the forum include Robert Battle, artistic director of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater; Ashley Wheater, artistic director of the Joffrey Ballet; and Elizabeth Streb, artistic director of Streb and a MacArthur fellow. "We'll have some of America's biggest players in dance on hand to talk about the beautiful art form, how it has influenced their lives and where it's headed in 2014 and beyond," Shields says. 4400 University Drive, Fairfax, Va., 703.993.8883
Light Fantastic
The year ahead will see Maurine Littleton, owner of Georgetown's Maurine Littleton Gallery looking back—and forward. "This is our 30-year anniversary, and we couldn't be more thrilled with where glass, metal and ceramics are as an art form," says Littleton, whose father, Harvey, is recognized as the pioneer in the studio-glass movement. Littleton Gallery, which exhibits and reps artistic luminaries like Dale Chihuly and Ginny Ruffner, will launch an anniversary show in March, along with an Albert Paley display, to coincide with the artist's June exhibit at the Corcoran.

MemoryCare a unique facility treating memory loss patients
Published: Sunday, July 25, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 23, 2010 at 1:58 p.m.
Walking up the steps of the old stone house, shaded by tall trees, feels like coming home. Rocking chairs on the front porch beckon visitors and clients to sit a spell before stepping inside MemoryCare.
Celebrating 10 years of service this year, MemoryCare is a nonprofit organization founded by Hendersonville physician, Dr. Margaret A. Peggy Noel, to help residents of Western North Carolina suffering from Alzheimers and dementia and their caregivers.
Memory impairment affects close to half of the U.S. population over 85 and is one of the most common reasons for dependency in late life, Noel says. Unfortunately, she says, any type of effective treatment remains, sadly, far in the future.
Yet there truly are ways for families to enjoy a much better quality of life with a memory disorder we see that every day, she says.
Noel started MemoryCare in a tiny closet in 2000. Today it serves more than 3,000 people a year from 18 counties in Western North Carolina including Henderson, Transylvania and Polk counties. To help her fledgling organization grow strong, during its early years Noel accepted no salary for her physician services to patients.
Among all age-related diseases, dementia is unique in its impact on families due to the absolute dependency it eventually creates, and the extended duration of the illness, says Noel, who still works at MemoryCare and serves as its director emeritus.
Noel, a diminutive internist, chose to pursue geriatric fellowship training simply out of a love for working with older adults.
Recognizing the vast need for quality care surrounding memory loss, Noel volunteered her time for three years to develop a model that would uphold the dignity of persons living with dementia.
Just as vital, her vision for MemoryCare also incorporated family caregivers into the evaluation and treatment plans for patients suffering from memory loss.
Failure to do so leads to delayed diagnosis, poor management, and great frustration among caregivers, she says.
Initially Noel operated The Memory Assessment Clinic from a small closet in the offices of the Givens Estate, the United Methodist retirement community in South Asheville.
After receiving the nonprofits first grant during MemoryCares formative years, Noel hired a nurse.
Now, MemoryCare employs three physicians, a nurse, a physicians assistant, two social workers and several office staff.
Charming offices
Though not affiliated with the Givens Estate, Memory Care rents what used to be the Givens family mountain retreat home on the retirement complexs campus.
The house, except for state-of-the-art examination rooms, retains much of its original vacation home charm: original wood paneling, stone fireplaces, and wood flooring grace the facilitys interior.
Noels dedication to MemoryCare continues. Even now, she only accepts a partial salary a few days pay for her full week of working with clients and their caregivers.
My patients and their families have taught me so much and 10 years into my practice I was able, with the help of my community, to take those lessons learned and translate them into MemoryCare, Noel says.
Two family members
Marilee Shore, a Laurel Park resident, first heard about MemoryCare through a class she took on aging at Western Carolina University. It inspired her to volunteer at the organization.
As a result, when her husband Bob started having symptoms of memory loss about five years ago at age 79, she knew where to turn.
They concentrate on the whole person, not just from the neck up, says Shore.
Shore appreciates that MemoryCare is a family-centered operation.
During the Shores initial visit, which can take around four hours, Bob Shore received an examination and memory screening.
Although her husband didnt realize going into MemoryCare what was going on, his wife still remembers his comment after the consultations.
After the screening he told me, I answered all the questions and I passed all the tests! says Marilee Shore.
A former salesman for General Electric who enjoyed golfing, bridge, and barbershop singing, with his handsome face and hazel eyes, Bob Shore was often taken for a movie star, Shore says.
Before his memory loss set in, Bob served on the planning board for the Town of Laurel Park, and was involved in various civic activities.
He was friendly, outgoing, very sweet and thoughtful, says Marilee. The couple has lived in Henderson County for 22 years.
Some of the smartest people get this disease, says Katie Wiles, MemoryCares director of development. We help give caregivers the tools they need otherwise they just have a doctors orders and a prescription.
Shore appreciated the information she received on caring for her husband, including guidance on safety issues that affect the elderly and especially those with memory loss. Issues like finances and fraud, medicine and driving.
She was also reassured by the resources supplied through MemoryCares free lending library on all issues related to aging.
The library, which is open to the public, is just part of MemoryCares outreach.
Education for the community is part of our mission, says Wiles.
MemoryCare also sponsors workshops and informative presentations throughout the year around Western North Carolina.
In 2008, Marilee Shore brought a second family member to MemoryCare: her mother, Meice Hoffmeyer. MemoryCare helped Hoffmeyer with memory loss issues until she passed away two months ago.
Unlike Bob Shore, who has never really understood his limitations,
Hoffmeyer was completely aware of her memory lapses, Marilee says.
Different types of dementia unfold differently, says Dr. Virginia Templeton, MemoryCares Director.
Continuing support
Because dementia and Alzheimers disease are progressive, MemoryCare offers ongoing support to its clients and patients.
Some families visit MemoryCares facility every two or three months, others may need only one or two follow-up visits, says Templeton.
We can better determine diagnosis over a years time, she says.
No family is turned away because of financial issues.
Services cost $1,200 per year per family, and Medicare and/or insurance will usually cover the patient portion, around $200 to $300.
MemoryCare asks families to cost share and pay a yearly caregiver fee a flat fee of $450. MemoryCare raises at least $450 of the remaining amount for each family.
For some families we are raising more because we waive the caregiver fee in full or in part, Wiles says. Currently, 55 percent of our patients are considered low income by (U.S.) Poverty Guidelines, and we waive 31 percent of caregiver fees.
For that fee, MemoryCare provides a number of services, including accurate diagnosis through cognitive testing and extensive physical examination, long term care planning, behavioral management, prescription of disease related medications, and caregiver training, counseling and support, to name a few.
MemoryCare is supported by a large donor base, and runs an annual campaign, as well as regular fundraisers.
A recent survey showed that 70 percent of MemoryCares caregiver clients think MemoryCare gives them the resources needed to deal with challenges and helps relieve personal stress related to caregiving, says Wiles.
Sometimes, due to stress, a caregiver a spouse in about a third of all caregiver cases will die before the patient, says Templeton.
They know were here when things change and they dont know how to help, she says.
Noel has found the journey of helping others an inspiring motivation to continue the work of MemoryCare.
It is a joy to assist a caregiver who is willing, in a combination of love and duty, to try to ease the difficult journey of someone afflicted with dementia says Noel.
A loved one with memory loss may have been an exceptional spouse, friend, or parent, but just as often, its a person who had significant shortcomings, Noel says. Nonetheless, time and again, she sees caregivers step up to care for their relative.
They give up their own life for someone who has no capacity to return the gift she says. They endure, often for years, caring for someone who has lost his or her value in the worlds eyes but not in their own.
With an aging Baby Boomer population, those affected by memory loss is set to increase. More than two-thirds of MemoryCares clients are cared for in the home, Templeton says.
The current health care system, Templeton says, simply is not set up to provide the kind of quality service that families receive at MemoryCare.
Its a square peg in a round hole, says Templeton. The health care system is not designed to help caregivers.
In 2009, a bipartisan Congressional task force known as the Alzheimers Study Group identified weaknesses in the current system, such as missed diagnoses, Medicares fee-for-service system that discourages and effectively prohibits between-visit care and support, and other vital interventions like caregiver counseling, says Noel. She hopes our health-care system will embrace more effective and holistic models for addressing the needs of persons with dementia as well as their caregivers.
MemoryCare is located at 100 Far Horizons Lane, off Sweeten Creek Road, in South Asheville. For more information, to volunteer or to make a donation, call 828-771-2219 or visit www.memorycare.org.

Wait a minute! Stop all the hype. It is time for a reality check. Listen as our panelists Steven Kelley, Martin Danner and Jack Greenfield enter the cone of silence to share their thoughts...
Welcome, welcome Friends to ARcast. Hey I am so glad you joined me today, because today we have the classic ARcast format. To start it all ARcast no. 7, and in this series we are talking about Model Driven Development. We are asking is this likely to gain wide spread adoption? Will it make building software faster, better or cheaper?
Well, listen up because we have some experts on the line who are going to give you their opinion. First up, Steven Kelly, Steven is the CTO of MetaCase and co-founder of the DSM forum. Steven is an organizer of OOPSLA workshops on domain specific modeling. Steve has authored articles in journals such as Dr. Dobbs and Object Spectrum. And he is a member of the editorial board for the journal of Database Management. Let's welcome Steven Kelley.
Hi, this is Steven Kelley from MetaCase. From selling the Model Driven Development, the model is dominant at a floor where, whilst worth stating that it should be quite self evident by now. So strange to hear Jack Greenfield disagrees. Jack said that in their DSL tool, he doesn't want model to be dominant over code. This might be related to what Steve Cook said in the ArcTalk Podcast, that Microsoft only expect their DSL tools to be able to generate 40 to 80 % of code. Of course the tools are at a pre-beta stage so far.
So, hope as they mature over a few versions, Microsoft will finally stop believing more on the approach and in that tool's ability to deliver a much higher percentage over product from models. That was certainly true for us back in 1995. It took our customers to show us that a 100% code generation really could be done. Since there is a possibility for misunderstanding here, let's make clear what we are talking about in terms of generating a full product.
Almost any product-chip today, would contain a large amount of third party or in house code which is not produced specifically for that project but is reused over many projects and often by many companies, That's not the code would expect to see modeled or generated, not as part of that project.
No what we are interested in is the new code needed for not product or project. Before, that would have been written by hand. Now we are aiming at a 100% generation of that code and often we can meet that target. May be hard to believe, until you see it, but I am sure it was hard for people to believe that coding languages like C could effectively replace assembler. Of course there is always the chance of some new feature in our next product requiring something not yet in our modeling language or generators.
That's no problem; we can either add it to the language or generators, if you think its going to be useful in the future. Or then if it's a one-off thing, we can simply code it by hand like we used to. This then is similar to how we use components now. Normally we convert through a high-level API. Though sometimes we need to dropdown to a lower level to do something special, providing that's the exception and not a rule, its not a problem. After all development of games and embedded software are still used to have it to drop right down to the level of assembler for a few critical tweaks.
And whatever we do, we will always be building on top of the stack of these lower levels of code, assembler, binary signals, analog signals, right down to the joys of quantum physics. The great thing in raising the level of abstraction is that these are then somebody else's problem.
They build compilers, assemblers and chips that automatically transform our input progressively down to the very lowest level where things actually happen. As Brain Sallack rightly pointed out that raise in the level of abstraction and automation is what makes our lives easier and more productive. In other words, domain specific modeling does to code what compilers did to assembler.
Our next panelist is Martin Danner. Martin Danner founded Arrowrock Corporation in 1998. He is a PMI project management professional in Microsoft Certified Solution Developer for the .NET framework and a Microsoft architect in VP. Let's welcome Martin Danner!!
Hi, this is Martin Danner with Arrowrock Corporation in Boise, Idaho. I want to start out today by talking about the modeling wars. Much is made about the feud between Microsoft Software Factories and UMG's model driven architecture framework for MDA. A fair amount of polarizing rhetoric is being bandied about including there are some sharp opinions on subject. One gets the impression that it is an 'either or or' proposition that you are either in the MDA camp or the software factories camp.
Well, I've had a close look at both and I can tell you that its remarkable how they share many of the same basic concepts. For instance, both describe a method for designing systems at some predefined level of abstraction and then converting that design into an implementation of one sort or other through a brief predefined transformation process.
Also, both employ the notion of viewpoints and views. Simply put, a viewpoint is the type of model say a class diagram whereas a view is an instance of that model for a specific system for e.g. a class diagram of an accounts receivable module. So what is all the fuss about? As far as I can tell, this is the main difference. In MDA, all the modeling is done using UML and its companion, Object Constraint Language or OCL.
The software factory on other hand has not constrained the modeling to any particular language. Rather it employs the notion of a Domain Specific Language or DSL. The DSL is custom-tailored to express the concepts of the domain being modeled. Unlike UML, which defines a single modeling language, there can be many different DSLs just as there are many different domains to be modeled.
What's more, you can invent your own DSL to create a modeling environment that perfectly fits the domain you are working in. Believe me when that little nugget of truth sinks in, you gets this 'Aha Moment' that's really quite liberating. Now I am not saying UML doesn't work. Actually it's a very useful tool. In fact, I use it all the time. . Now, the point I am trying to make is that UML may not always be the right tool for the job.
UML is designed to model a specific domain namely object oriented software systems. In another words, UML is a domain specific language designed to model object oriented software system. Think about it, this is really a key point to someone and I say it again. The UML is a domain specific language designed to model object oriented software system.
All well & good you might say because in the end we are all building object oriented system anyway. But you need to ask yourself why I should limit myself to this one level of abstraction. Sure, this software system should build in are object oriented, but is it possible even desirable to design your own software system and at even higher level of abstraction?
Let me explain what I mean. Imagine if you will that you can take your application domain and organize into reusable elements, where each element represents some well defined bit of functionality. Now take your elements and put them individual box to create your very own interesting modeling environment.
Next drag and drop those elements on to desired surface, configure each element is needed and wire them together in a way that represents the application you want to build. Finally with the push of button transform your design into a clean tight code, using template you know are good because you created them. Touch up your application if needed with your own custom code that comfortably coexists with the generated code.
Compile and serve with a garnish of system documentation also generated automatically and there you have it a fully baked software application built in a fraction of time from reusable assets. What I just described, the essence of the domain specific modeling, sounds like a dream at some distant future doesn't it.
Actually we have been able to do it for several years now with a product MetaEdit Plus from Metacase which was cofounded by one of our panelist Steven Kelly and now you can do it in Visual Studio 2005 using the DSL tools extensibility. Both products come with tutorials & samples to get you started. I have gone through them and found them be a very useful learning experience. Software factories are very similar to domain specific modeling but extended in important new ways.
For instance software factory might utilize multiple domain specific languages to model the system from different viewpoints. And then combine and transform those models in various ways to produce a variety of development artifacts that includes source code files, configuration files, SQL scripts, test cases, deployment manifest, and system documentation and so on. Also software factory expand generative programming capabilities to Guidance Automation.
Guidance Automation provides context sensitive just in time guidance in the form of templates, recipes and wizards for the creation of entire solution or individual project or even a single project item. The Guidance Automation tool kit (GAT) has kept low profile so far. But I understand that Microsoft's Pattern and Practice team will begin releasing, application blogs, its guidance packages in 2006. So you will be hearing a lot more about it soon.
Of course there is more to software factories than what I have just described, in fact if you pick up and read the book on software factories by Jack Greenfield & company, you will soon find that finally it goes really deep but don't let that discourage you. I recommend that while you are reading software factories book, or perhaps re-reading it, event for the tutorials from Microsoft's DSL tool and Metacase Metaedit plus product. You can start with something simple and expand your horizons from there.
I wrap up by saying that I think Model Driven Development has a potential of becoming a disruptive technology that fundamentally changes the way that we all build software. Domain specific modeling in its more elaborate offspring software factories holds a great deal of promise. In the next and final installment of this panel discussion I will talk about whatever it takes for widespread adoption of a Model Driven Development to occur and I also share with you my humble opinion regarding the questions originally posted to this panel which is "Is Model Driven Development ready for prime time?"
One final comment, a request actually, I would really like to know your thoughts about the subject as well, any questions this discussion may have sparked. So please take a minute and add your comments to the Channel 9 Web pages for this podcast.
Our third and final panelist for this episode is Jack Greenfield. Jack is an Architect for the Enterprise Frameworks and Tools team at Microsoft. He was previously Chief Architect, Practitioner Desktop Group, at Rational Software Corporation, and Founder and CTO of InLine Software Corporation. Let's welcome Jack Greenfield.
Hi, this is Jack Greenfield with week3. I would like to respond to the comments that Martin Danner makes in this ARcast session. I agree with Martin that MDD has the potential to become disruptive technology that significantly improves the way we build software and I am looking forward to hearing his comments about what it will take to make modeling mainstream. I have to disagree, however with some of the other things he said, especially his claim that, software factories and MDA are similar when I said none.
To support his claim, he says that both use models to describe systems at a higher level of abstraction and then use transformation to produce the implementation. He later says that the result of this process after some manual touchup is a fully baked application. Well that doesn't sound like what we are doing in software factories today.
He also suggests that software factories and MDA, take in essence same approach to his views and view point. If you heard my comments in ARcast sessions 5 and 6, you"ll have heard me say several things and make it hard for me to agree with Martin on this topic. I repeat them here briefly because it is quite important to understand it why software factories are not MDA. First software factories can use models, they don't focus on models. Instead they focus on defining the development process for family related system, and then on supporting the process with reusable assets.
Yes, it's true that some of those assets may be models and modeling tools but software factories explicitly integrate modeling with more traditional development methods & practices. And some of these other assets may be templates or patterns or best practice guidelines or class libraries.
As I explained in session 5, we don't always know enough about every aspect of a problem domain to modeling. We can however identify some of those aspects and capture information that have each aspect should be addressed in the development process.
This focus on more traditional development methods & practices is not merely window addressing, in fact I believe it's critical to avoiding the over promising and under delivery that doom case to failures. MDA's integrate modeling with more traditional development methods and practices. The legitimate reason for concern in my opinion is that it will suffer similar fate.
Second, software factories can use transformation, they don't focus on transformation. Instead they focus on defining view points from which different stakeholders participate in development process. And on managing the artifacts appropriate to each view point the artifact management may at times involve transformation, such as transforming a logical data model into a physical one.
But more often than not it involves other types of operations across the relationships between viewpoints such as trace, validation or analysis. As I explained in session 5, the reason is that we don't always know enough about a given pair of viewpoints or about how they relate to each other to transform artifacts between them automatically. In my opinion recognizing the limits of our knowledge arbitrate problem domains in the limitations of the technologies we are offering to market place is critical to the success of Model Driven Development.
The general claim that applications of any type can be generated in new their entirety from models, fully baked is just not credible. Worse it undermines the credibility of legitimate efforts to improve productivity, to the pragmatic and judicious application of Model Driven technologies in the context of more traditional development methods and practices. MDAs focus on transformation gives legitimate father to the critics of Model Driven Development in my opinion.
Third I find it hard to agree with Martin's suggestions that software factory and MDA take essentially same approach to views and viewpoints. Yes the PIMs and CIMs defined by MDA can be seen as viewpoints.
However MDA does not explicitly incorporate the notion of view point. Nor does it provide a way to define or reason about viewpoint. In order to see PIM and CIM as viewpoints we first have to learn to think about software development in terms of viewpoints through some other methodology and then interpret MDA in those terms. More importantly the number of viewpoints we can ascribe to MDAs is fixed at 2. There is one PIM and one CIM.
MDA doesn't give us a way to reason about requirements or logical architecture or implementation or deployment or technical architecture or testing or operational management or maintenance or lifecycle processes for a family of systems, in terms of a set of certain view points and relationships among them. Software factories by contrast are explicitly based on view points and relationships between view points; in fact software factory is a methodology for defining and reasoning about viewpoints.
To say that software factories and MDA both use viewpoints is like saying that monkey and humans both use computer. Sure, we see monkeys playing with keyboards and they might appear to be using the computers but monkeys are presumably unaware of the significance of the computers.
And certainly can't be expected to design new ones. In short Martin's summary of software factories and MDA is essentially summary of MDA. I suppose that if we would have described software factories only in terms of MDA, ignoring the very real differences between them that I have just described then yeah, we can superficially claim that the two technologies are similar.
But I hope you can see from what I just said about software factories that's a bit like claiming their use unicycle & Ferraris are similar because they both have wheels. But the problem to such a claim is it, that if casts two things as similar, despite the fact, the differences between them are far more significant than similarities.
Martin also, claims that UML is domain specific language for modeling OO software systems. The problem I have with this claim is that for a language to function effectively as DSL in a Model Driven Development paradigm. The domain has to be narrow enough to allow the language to be fit to purpose. If the domain is too broad then the information captured by models expressed in DSL would be too general to support the kind of high fidelity code generation we are looking for.
I believe the track record of code generation from UML proves this point. Of course, high fidelity code generation is indeed possible when the UML is heavily decorative with stereotypes and tags. But at that point UML has merely become a DSL for some other domain. In other words an UML profile is just a kinky way of defining DSLs. In the book we suggest to term general purpose language. The languages like UML that are designed to describe almost anything.
So to sum up, calling on decorated UML & DSL is a bit like calling an Axe, a Scalpel. Sure they both cut things but the Axe is general purpose cutting tool. Whereas Scalpel is a cutting tool, has been carefully designed for a very specific purpose. And the attention paid to requirements of problem domain in case of the Scalpel, makes all the difference.
And the debate rages on what you think? Will these models really change anything? I remember using model types stuff for ages. It only seems to me that these tools were ok for certain things but, I don't know, I find it hard to believe that 100% of my application will never be generated by a model.
And there is always that the ways in which models are somewhat static over time. They don't really adapt the new ways of looking at things like you know the move from object oriented kind of base systems to component base system to service base system. I don't think the models have kept up. But who knows may be things would be different this time, may be. What do you think? Post your comments and we will see you next time on ARCast.
Oops, something didn't work.

Theater WaitWhat?
posted by June 19 at 11:29 AMon
From today's Seattle Times.
Sher's win catapults him to the top of the A-list of Broadway directors. Though he moved recently from Seattle to New York, and has various Big Apple projects in the works (including a new musical about martial-arts superstar Bruce Lee), Sher is contracted through 2009 to head Intiman, where he just staged the new play "Namaste Man."
Asked if his win helps his hometown company he said, "Of course it does it helps us attract better artists, better producers and other things down the road." He also mentioned that Intiman will develop "a big Disney musical next year," with the title to be revealed later.
A "big Disney musical"? At Intiman? Why?
It's not like Disney really needs the resources of a non-profit theater to develop its next Broadway flop, and Intiman certainly doesn't need its cultural capital devalued by producing Toy Story 2, starring Larry Ballard. (As much as I'd like to see that… )
I've got a call out to Intiman and am postponing my freakout until I have more information. Butreally? Seriously?
I can't believe it.
(Thanks for the heads up, Mike Daisey.)

The biggest challenge facing Twin County United Way in its annual fundraising campaign is the closing of so many factories where workers would donate a portion from their paychecks each week to the non-profit organization.
The goal this year is to connect with those people again and reach new donors who want to support United Way programs, said Mike Frazier, president of the TCUW board.
The Free Clinic of the Twin Counties will host an open house Sept. 30 from 6-8 p.m. at its new location at 140 Larkspur Lane, Suite C, in Galax.
HILLSVILLE — Carroll officials are preparing to make revisions to the subdivision ordinance to allow recreational vehicle developments, but they do not believe that the proposed RV resort along the New River Trail will proceed.

INDEPENDENCE — Grayson County officials gathered Sept. 15 to kickoff the Going Green program at the Grayson County Courthouse.
The Galax Recreation Center will host a "Buy the Bus" indoor yard sale Saturday in conjunction with the Lord's Acre Sale at Felts Park, in an effort to raise $50,000 to buy a new 15-passenger activity bus to be used for seniors and children.
The 1998 transit bus being used to take seniors and children on trips has more than 100,000 miles on it.
U.S. Rep. Rick Boucher spent nearly $30,000 in campaign funds to buy a crossover SUV last fall. Now his opponents in the 9th Congressional District race are trying to get their own mileage out of it.
The expense appeared in a fourth quarter 2009 report Boucher filed with the Federal Election Commission, along with several vehicle-related maintenance costs in the months since then.
HILLSVILLE — The new Carroll County emergency services director has served as both a volunteer and paid member in fire and rescue work, as a fire chief, and headed emergency services in South Carolina.
James "Mike" Mock Jr., of Pawleys Island, S.C., started transition Sept. 7 as successor to Joe Roma, who had been in the Carroll position for five years.
INDEPENDENCE — Gov. Bob McDonnell has declared September as National Preparedness Month, a time to encourage taking simple steps to prepare for emergencies in our homes, businesses and communities.
Preparing for emergencies is something that every citizen should consider, the proclamation states, and the Grayson County Board of Supervisors heartily endorsed the measure during a meeting Sept. 9.
The Twin County Airport Commission will hold a meeting on Monday at 1 p.m. at the Crossroads
Institute in Galax.
This meeting is being held to discuss the future
development of the airport, with regards to the Wildwood development area near the Airport at Exit 19, in particular the lengthening of the runway.
Some representatives will be present to detail the steps involved with a project of this magnitude.
HILLSVILLE — There is a pall lingering over Woodlawn that some residents fear might impact health and property values, they told the Carroll Public Service Authority Monday.
The rotten-egg stench became a problem soon after the Woodlawn sewer system went online. Residents report fighting the stink, to no avail, with air fresheners and others said they can't sleep and can no longer stand to eat at home due to the stomach-turning stench.

My regards to Douglas Adams for the title, it seemed appropriate.
There have been some heated discussions recently in the forums here lately about how some have been treating others. The threads seem to be running like an Ebola virus through an African village. This disturbs me, as my wife will tell you I don't like conflict very much. I tend to try to avoid it if I can. This means that I think it will be a while before I will be able to visit the forums again. The only thing that has been worse than those arguements has been the Democrat-Republican campaigns for US President. I'm washing my hands of the matter and won't be visiting for a while.

1. Somebody really likes "Transformers." For a smash hit film series, Michael Bay's giant-robot franchise gets awfully little love, at least in public. It's like porn; everyone claims to find it loathsome, but in secret, someone is watching it and making it a huge success. Last week, of course, "Transformers: Age of Extinction" cruised easily to No. 1 because no other wide release film was willing to challenge it. This weekend, it faced three new wide release challengers and still came out far ahead of all of them. It lost 64 percent of last week's business and still grossed an estimated $ 36.4 million, more than $ 15 million ahead of its nearest rival, and enough for a ten-day total of $ 174.7 million. If everyone hates these movies so much, who are the 22 million people who've already paid good money to see the fourth installment? Show of hands, please, and don't be shy.
2. Eric Bana is not a movie star. Sorry, Hollywood. We know you've been trying for a decade and a half to make the handsome, talented, Australian actor into a household-name leading man, but he's just not taking. "Hulk," "Troy," "Munich," "Time Traveler's Wife," "Star Trek," and still… meh. So it's not much of a surprise to see that the little horror movie "Deliver Us From Evil" grew no bigger by having Bana as its lead. It debuted in third place with just an estimated $ 9.5 million, for a measly $ 3,116 per venue. That's about half the per-screen average of second-place opener "Tammy" and a third the average of "Transformers."
3. It's still ladies' night at the cineplex. Still, you can see why its makers thought "Deliver Us From Evil" might do well against "Transformers." Horror appeals primarily to women audiences, and Bana is easy on the eyes, so maybe women would come out to see it as an alternative to the testosterone-heavy "Transformers." Same with the raunchy road comedy "Tammy," starring Melissa McCarthy and Susan Sarandon. Yes, there are guys who think McCarthy is uproarious, but none of them was going to go see "Tammy" unless a woman dragged him to see it. Unfortunately, the movie earned weak reviews and even weaker word-of-mouth (a C+ grade at CinemaScore), so despite the movie's second-place opening (with an estimated $ 21.2 million), it's not likely to grow into a hit the size of McCarthy's "Identity Thief" or "The Heat."
4. It's not just men who are staying home. The lack of guy appeal at the movies is an issue this column has been noticing throughout this slow-sales summer. But there's little of appeal to kids, either. The new "Earth to Echo" hoped to remedy that, but kids didn't think much of the sci-fi adventure and let it debut in sixth place with an estimated $ 8.3 million, or just $ 2,554 per screen. Even the leftover "How to Train Your Dragon 2," now in its fourth week, did better, coming in fifth with an estimated $ 8.8 million. It's worth remembering that, a year ago at this time, "Despicable Me 2" opened with $ 83.5 million and even Disney megaflop "The Lone Ranger" debuted that same week with $ 29.2 million. No movie this week was anywhere near that big, let alone any family movie this summer; when kids are out of school, what are you supposed to do?
5. "America" First. Two years ago, Dinesh D'Souza's "2016: Obama's America" grossed $ 33 million, a huge sum for a documentary. This year, the stakes aren't as high (there's no bitterly contested election battle this time), and neither will the rewards be, for D'Souza's newest doc, "America: Imagine a World Without Her." He was smart enough, however, to put "America" first in the title this time, especially since the film was going wide (in its second weekend) over the Independence Day holiday weekend. Indeed, the movie went from three screens to more than 1,110, resulting in an estimated $ 2.7 million, good for 11th place. No doubt many more moviegoers will be happy to imagine a world without America next weekend, as long as that land is overrun by the rampaging chimps of "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes." Meantime, this week saw a sales slump of 30 percent from last weekend; it may take a lot more than apes to save the summer.

In this scene from 'Toy Story 2,' Hamm shuts off the television with the remote. When we get a look at the TV, however, there's no reflection of him or Rex to be found.
- 'Mission: Impossible 3' (2006)
During the Berlin scene, Zhen Lei (Maggie Q) has no goggles at first but then suddenly has them on her head. For the remainder of the scene, the goggles are either on her head, over her eyes, or completely absent. Now that's impossible!
The US President receives a blue binder when the X-Men pay him a visit him at the end of the movie. After they leave, shots of the President at his desk alternate between sheets of white paper spread out and the blue binder still closed. Only Quicksilver has that type of speed!
- 'High School Musical 2' (2007)
This scene still boggles the mind. One moment, Zeke is sitting on a stool big enough for his feet to dangle from it. A second later, it's become a mini-stool. Didn't anyone on the set notice? Zeke, speak up for yourself!

Man, we miss Kevin McCallister and his crazy antics. In this scene from 'Home Alone 2,' he's being chased by Marv and Harry through New York City. To evade them, Kevin buys a necklace, breaks it and throws the pearls on the ground. Problem is, the "Sticky Bandits" end up slipping on twice the amount Kevin had originally put there.

Regulators May Consider Relaxing Corporate Loan Rules, BVR Says
European regulators may apply less stringent rules to loans to medium-sized companies to maintain the flow of credit, according to Germany's association of cooperative banks.
"From what I hear, loans to medium-sized companies, the Mittelstand, will continue to be treated under Basel II rules when Basel III takes effect," Uwe Froehlich, president of the Bundesverband der Deutschen Volksbanken und Raiffeisenbanken, said today at a conference in Frankfurt. "Loans to those companies would not be burdened additionally."
Global banks are preparing for stricter rules on capital and liquidity from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, known as Basel III, even as the debt crisis in Europe hurts the economy. The International Monetary Fund said European banks may shrink assets by as much as $4.5 trillion through 2013 if policy makers fail to implement pledges to fight the debt crisis, curbing lending and economic growth.
Germany's BDI federation of industries said in an Aug. 22 statement that its members are concerned they will bear the brunt of Basel III requirements as loans become more expensive.
The U.K.'s Financial Services Authority relaxed the amount of funds British banks must keep in reserve, in an effort to spur lending and stimulate credit growth, the FSA said in a Sept. 27 statement on its website.
Basel III rules are designed to help prevent a repeat of the taxpayer-funded bank rescue that followed the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. German banks plan to implement the standards next year.

Another great book from Cathie Linz. The characters of Marissa and Conner were great. Just loved Conner's mom and grandma! This book is a definite buy!
I liked the book, but I think that her previous book was better. I also think that the ending could have been a little more detailed like the rest of the book.
It was a good book- there were a couple of inconsistencies that bothered me- little ones- like there was one time she called Ruby Mae "Rita Mae".... and one time she called Connor "Logan"... Sometimes everything was too convenient for these 2 romantic leads- they kept running into each other everywhere. However, I did like their story, despite the way too buttinski town. I recommend it for something light to read.
Tempted Again by Cathie Linz pens another sexy tale that will sure keep you smiling. Librarian Marissa Bennett is forced to start over. After the end of her marriage, she needs calm and security. Marissa goes home to Hopeful, Ohio to take a job at the local library. Her first day back in town has her crashing the Founder's Day Parade. As her luck would have it she gets pulled over by her former high school crush Connor Doyle. The man that up and left her after taking her virginity. Connor Doyle left the rough streets of Chicago for the quieter pace as a small town sheriff. Things are going smoothly until Marissa makes her grand entrance back in town. Next thing Connor knows she has moved in next door to him and he is seeing her everywhere. Marissa is slowly getting her life back on track and the last thing she needs is having the hots for her former flame and current neighbor. Connor has his sights set on Marissa and knows he has his work cut out for him but he knows that Marissa is worth everything to him. Tempted Again is a book that delivers a great funny and sizzling story. Everyone deserves a second chance and Connor and Marissa are perfect examples. Their verbal battles led to some smoking hot passion that burns up every page. I love the wit and charm of all the characters in this book. Cathie Linz has become a most buy for me when I want a funny and hot read.

Retrial for caretaker in missing Fla. girl case
MIAMI (AP) – Prosecutors in Miami have decided to retry the caretaker of missing 4-year-old foster child Rilya Wilson on a murder charge.
A jury in January convicted 68-year-old Geralyn Graham of kidnapping and child abuse but could not agree on a murder count. Graham was sentenced to 55 years in prison for the convictions, but prosecutors said Friday they will try her again for murder.
A judge set a September trial date.
Rilya vanished in December 2000 from Graham's home but her disappearance wasn't noticed for 15 months, largely because a Department of Children and Families caseworker neglected to check on the girl. Rilya's body has never been found.
The state's case hinges largely on jailhouse informants who say Graham confessed to them. Graham insists she is innocent.
