solitary factor that worked My fundamental greater flare-up was triggered through sex after a UTI. I undoubtedly went to the doctor 5-6 times getting opposite antibiotics for the infection b/c it felt like it wasn't prospering away, it was solitary getting worse. The matrix yoke of times they weren't able to notice a UTI, so they referred me to a urologist and she confirmed that it was IC, not a lingering infection. She wanted to do a cystoscopy to way things are generally gone from cancer, but I hadn't heard anything unmistakeable about the resume in the forums so I was loath to shuck out the $1500 to save the formal diagnosis. At this unceasingly a once my symptoms were attractive severe. It was on my mind all the time. Sitting representing long periods made it worse, but nothing seemed to humour it better. Coition was out of the topic and I often on edge that I'd not hold gender again. All in all, a winsome glum familiarity which went on because about 3 months. After seeing the urologist and realizing that she couldn't in the final analysis helper me, I turned to the antibiotics b/c at least some people were getting forbear from them. I had noticed that my IC symptoms would get speculator after the UTI antibiotic treatments but then would become worse a a handful of days after stopping them. If I took the proper antibiotics with a view a longer patch of spell it seemed like it would work or at least step some evaluate of release when taking them. I ordered augmentin from an online dispensary that I found at drugbuyers.com, in all likelihood clickdrugs or medsmex. I didn't make a fuss about asking the doctors instead of a prescription as this wasn't the standard procedure of treatment. I fantasize the urologist was more apt to cast me on disquiet pills indefinitely than afford me weeks usefulness of antibiotics. I can't about what the dosage was, but I about intriguing them during 3 weeks to a month. The side effects do start to be seized up with you (disorientation/depression), but my symptoms had cleared up charming superbly when I stopped. I memorialize my symptoms improving after a two days and then drop by drop one more time a two weeks.

We're smack dab in the middle of phase two of Marvel Studios' cinematic universe and things are beginning to really pick up if you hadn't noticed. Phase one was obviously anchored by the build up and introduction of each member of The Avengers, a deal with paid off huge with one of the highest grossing comic book films of all time.
If phase two has been anchored by anything, it's taking risks and keeping mum on the big picture. We're only a short amount of time away from the release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and months from Guardians of The Galaxy, the biggest gambit since Howard The Duck quacked into theaters and ruined our lives. So far we've had Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World to keep us company, but the direction we're heading is no clearer than it was at the end of The Avengers.
That's not turning out to be a problem though, with money pouring in and fan response through the roof. Folks are hungry for any information on projects coming down the chute for Marvel, including Avengers: Age Of Ultron, and there seems to be no end in sight.
That's what got me thinking about the future of Marvel Studios a bit. What's really going to be worth a look and what's going to take some convincing? Without Spider-Man, The X-Men or Fantastic Four at your side, you need some creative juggling to garner mega-interest. But which of the fresh faced ideas coming from Marvel Studios have the backing from their source material to truly warrant a popular film series.
I thought I'd take a look and rank from weakest to strongest in terms of the original comic book material and how well it could translate to the big screen. It's a list made with love, care and guts that throws science to the wayside. If you have your own personal opinion or additions, feel free to add them. Enjoy the list either way:
Doctor Strange
The other Steve Ditko work from the early Marvel days, Dr. Strange has always been the most important lame character in all of the Marvel Universe. He's always the link with the spirit realm, helping other, more interesting characters connect with demons and other entities that transcend the real world.
In my entire time reading comics, I've only read one Dr. Strange story that didn't rely on other characters to make it work and I can only count two Dr. Strange stories that I would ever pick up again to read, particularly Dr. Strange/Dr. Doom: Triumph And Torment. It's a short read, but a great one with some quality work from Mike Mignola of Hellboy fame.
There's also Spider-Man: Fever, a unique work from Brendan McCarthy that calls back to the pair's Steve Ditko origins with a wild, surrealist story. Both are well worth a read, but I can't account for much else.
That's why I have to rank the property last. How can Dr. Strange command his own movie? Thor and Captain America were stretches at first, I'll admit, but they also had The Avengers to help boost their credentials. What does Dr. Strange have? A man servant? Some cool villains? Magic? Not enough for me. I would go out and say that Dr. Strange is a bigger gamble than both Guardians and Ant-Man based on the source material alone.
Ant- Man
If you take the film aside from the origins on the page, I would say you have an interesting film with one hell of a creative team attached. Edgar Wright and Paul Rudd could make a movie about the phone book and I'd be half interested.
But go back in time to the point when an Ant-Man movie was first announced and you'd meet a very different young fool, one who couldn't believe that Ant-Man would get a movie. And a solo movie on top of that.
Go head and name some of the great solo Ant-Man stories from comics lore. I'll wait right here. Oh you're back already? An empty room you say? That's right. Aside from a few random tales, there are no memorable Ant-Man tales to goad over. The most memorable for Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man, involved the creation of a psychotic robot and spousal abuse.
Scott Lang at least has the ability to be charming and fun. He's a reformed thief, reluctant hero, and pretty interesting fellow that's been an Avenger, died, and currently finds second life as a member of the new Fantastic Four/ Future Foundation. If it wasn't for FF, Wright and Rudd though, I don't think I'd have him above Dr. Strange.
Guardians Of The Galaxy
I keep calling the biggest gamble of the summer because it truly is the biggest since the return of The Lone Ranger. And poor comparisons aside, it's got a lot riding on it in terms of introducing characters you never thought you'd see on the screen.
The real credit for The Guardians making it to film isn't on the amazing cast or James Gunn in the directors chair, it belongs more to the 2008 series that spun out of the cosmic Annihilation event. If you ever get a chance to find the 2008 series, pick it up and read it immediately. It's fun and features some of the best artwork at the time.
It's a little convoluted considering the events of the cosmic Marvel Universe at the time, but the characters are there and what you see in the trailer is what you got on the page, give or take a few characters. The current run from Brian Michael Bendis is a worthy successor, but you really need to pick this up to get the full experience. Hopefully they'll make it available once the movie hits this summer.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier / Captain America 3
I included these together because there is very little information on Captain America 3 at this point and because The Winter Soldier really kicked off an important chunk of Captain America stories in the comic series. There has to be some sort of pour over into the third movie, much there's already some in Avengers: Age Of Ultron.
The work Ed Brubaker put into his run on Captain America is some of the best and I'll hit on him again in my next choice. But before the late 80s, I would dare you to pick out a memorable Cap solo tale. Ever since the John Byrne days on the book, it's been a steady climb that lead to The Winter Soldier and the pinnacle of Captain America's potential as a protagonist.
I mean sh*t, this is the story that helped kick Cap off into the mainstream when he was killed off shortly after. I think it's been watered down since with the mega crossovers and return of Steve Rogers, but Winter Soldier is a meaningful story and perfect for the film series.
Daredevil/Luke Cage/ Iron Fist/ The Defenders
The Netflix entries are going to be the kind of show everyone wanted out of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. and that's a very good thing. Luke Cage and Iron Fist both featured a renaissance of sorts at the hands of Ed Brubaker and Brian Michael Bendis, going from jokey 70s parodies of kung fu and exploitation films to characters that can hold a scene with The Avengers without a second thought.
But the main attraction here is Daredevil, a character basically begging for a chance to truly shine. Ben Affleck did his best to destroy those chances near the end of the last big comics boon in film, when anything and everything was being made. Luckily Marvel got the rights back and they are including him in their cinematic plans.
If I look at my collection, Daredevil is only rivaled by Batman for classic stories. There is a wealth and it's a crime that so many were cannibalized for the terrible film adaptation from before. Frank Miller's work on the series is legendary and took it from a silly crime fighting tale to a gritty noir. Kevin Smith of all people reinvigorated that feeling into the character in the late-90s and it has been a must read series ever since via the work of Brian Bendis, Ed Brubaker and Mark Waid.
If this set of series screws the pooch, I'm calling them un-filmable. There's no way. I almost feel like Alec Baldwin in Glengary GlenRoss, yelling about the leads being good. The stories are good, dammit!
Avengers: Age Of Ultron
If we were going with surefire greats that we knew were coming to the screen, this is a winner no matter how you look at it. The success of The Avengers really sells the success of this one outright, but when coupled with the source material, you get the possibility of something legendary. If you don't believe me, listen to Robert Downey. From Slashfilm:
This one is a very ambitious sequel. If you read it, it's dense, it's smart. Joss [Whedon] is a really smart guy. My 2-year-old is crazy about Hawkeye, and I think Jeremy [Renner] has a lot to do with the plot. There's always so many plates to spin to get these things half-right, and I'm really excited about this one.
Now of course he's paid to say those things, but he's not blowing smoke either. And to prove it, look no further than the source material.
And when I say source material, forget the Age of Ultron event-series we were just graced with because it has little to do with Ultron and Avengers 2 past the title. Instead, go back to 1998 and Ultron Unlimited. It's a fantastic story where Ultron returns to slaughter an entire nation, kidnap key members of The Avengers and pretty much raise holy hell until finally being stopped after one of the toughest battles the team ever faces.
I doubt you'd find a better duo than Kurt Buseik and George Perez during this run and it shows with this short four issue storyline. The team is pushed to its limits and it carries the kind of feel you'd expect to see on the big screen. Throw the other classic Ultron stories into the mix and you've got the recipe for greatness. But not the greatest upcoming adaptation.
Planet Hulk
This would be the crowning achievement for Marvel in my opinion. It would allow two things to happen: first, we'd finally have a great Hulk movie to watch in theaters and second, it would bring the best superhero story I've read to life. There's a wealth of great Hulk stories, probably more than any other Marvel hero. This one stands above the rest though.
Getting to Planet Hulk is uncertain at this point, but it is certainly possible. Rumors are always floating around with how the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy are going to get together in time for the end of phase three. And we know that Planet Hulk was kicked around as possible adaptation a while back.
I think the main problem here is that no one really ever knows what to do with the Hulk as a character. Even Joss Whedon is on record calling it "the toughest property to film." If this story provides anything, it is hope. A direct adaptation makes little sense, but throwing Hulk on another planet where he's less monster and more survivalist is a winning combo. And heck, if it's the Avengers actually exiling the green goliath like in the source material, you have a whole redemption element to use for the third Avengers film.
Make this happen. If anything, so we can finally wash the taste of Ang Lee's Hulk out our mouths.

► 2016 Mercedes G-Class G500 AMG Line - Footage
The new 8-cylinder powerplant in the Mercedes-Benz G 500 can point to an exclusive heritage. It is based on the new generation of V8 engines developed by Mercedes-AMG that have already coaxed exceptional levels of performance out of the Mercedes-AMG GT and Mercedes-AMG C 63. For use in the G-Class, the V8 has been modified to deliver 422 horsepower (310 kW) with torque of 610 Nm. Other standout attributes include a spontaneous response and high tractive power made possible, for example, by two turbochargers, which instead of being configured on the outside of the cylinder banks, are arranged between them in the V – the so-called "hot inside V". This layout allows a compact design, optimal response and low Exhaust emissions. If you love cars, you should subscribe now to official YouCar's channel: http://urlz.fr/lEd Go! It's free!

Child Counselor
Turning Leaf Counseling 0 Consultation, LLC, LPC, LCSW, PLPC
Working with young children means first earning their trust as well as the trust of parents, and second working with parents to understand what are considered normal stages of development. It is important also to work with parents regarding appropriate and long lasting discipline to help the child learn appropriate behaviors. Finally many children are very resilient and their ability to cope in difficult situations is beneficial to help the child move past any trauma they have experienced.
Child Counselor
Cheryl Pendell, MA, LPC, NCC, CPT
Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Play Therapist
A parent is only as happy as their saddest child. It is extremely painful to watch our children suffer and be at a loss of what is going on or how to help them. I am a certified Play Therapist and work with children ages 2 and up. When a child is acting out that is a sign that something is wrong in their world. Play Therapy is the preferred form of therapy for children under the age of ten and it is highly effective for children suffering from abuse, neglect, bullying, low self esteem, divorce etc. Play was a child's first language and we use play in session to gain insight into what is going on in a child's world when they don't have the ability to put words to it themselves.
Child Counselor
Walt Moon, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Is your relationship with your child going rapidly out of control? Have you found it more and more difficult to discipline your child? Are you worried that something might be seriously wrong with a child in your life? I can help. I have been working with children and teens for over twenty years as a counselor and a minister. I come from the perspective that God has made each child beautiful. I believe that out-of-control behavior is often a child's way of expressing things they have no other way to express. Together, we can explore new ways to interact with your child. I can help you find real-world interventions that are not only more effective, but that also work for you .
Child Counselor
Sara Minges, LPC, RPT
Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapist
Theraplay, a sensory type of play therapy emphasizing the parent-child relationship, is an approach I often use with 3-8 year old clients to treat issues of life transitions, trust, depression and attachment. Sand Tray Therapy, another type of play therapy, is also effective in helping young children make sense of their feelings and experiences. It involves the use of miniatures that represent hopes, fears and experiences, to let them "share their story."
Child Counselor
Matthew Luckenbach, MA., LPC., RPT, NCC
Licensed Professional Counselor
It can be very difficult as a parent to address all of your child's needs and issues. As a play therapist I have specialized training in utilizing an effective approach to help your child achieve healing and the family to restore relationships. Children often can suffer from the same issues that we can have as adults but express it in different ways. This is often misunderstood and requires a unique approach with parents to help find the ways to manage behaviors and explore problems within a child's life. My experience includes counseling children with an abuse or trauma history, ADHD, and Autism.
Child Counselor
Sherri Jacobs, M.S., LMFT, M.A., ATR
Marriage and Family Therapist, Art Therapist
As an art therapist, I use creative interventions for children and teens to express themselves. I spent many years working with children and teens in inpatient psychiatric and residential facilities. When children feel "heard," they can begin the process of healing from issues that might be plaguing them. As a marriage and family therapist, my goal is to offer tools for families to open up channels of communication with one another,and create environments in which each family member can thrive. As a parent of young children and teenagers, my combination of real world experience and years of working with children in a therapeutic setting has prepared me for this work in private practice.
Child Counselor
Sitka Stueve, LSCSW, LCSW, CCP, CCTP, SAP
Licensed Specialized Clinical Social Worker
I enjoy working with Children 12 years and older. Pre-teens and teenagers are going through so much and are living in a world that they receive so many messages by the media! It is hard to make good decisions with the onslaught of messages they are bombarded with. Counseling can help a young child to feel safe enough to open up and begin to address 'scary things' in their lives. It would be an honor for me to work with your child.
Child Counselor
Kristal Krahl-Camp, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Children are not miniature adults. The way they see the world is different. They often don't have words to express how they are feeling so you will often see them act out with negative behaviors. Helping children learn to express themselves in healthy ways, learn about their emotions, and work through the issues they struggle with is very important to me. The things they go though as a child can and will shape who they are throughout life. I hope to make it as positive and healthy as possible.

TBs are beginning to bloom out here now. Good show in the garden. Hardly
anything is branching, but the clumps are compensating with lots and lots of
stalks per clump. I posted a couple of siblings from this cross last year.
They were better. I like the golden heart and shoulders that came from L
d'A and which the wind aided in showing, but it's missing substance. The
taupe color isn't something I like all that well either, though I'm
surprised that I don't really hate it. One of the siblings last year also
had it and it wasn't as objectionable as I'd have thought there either. I'd
envisioned a muddy color from the cross. It sort of fits that, but it isn't
especially muddy.

Quick Overview - CorVel Corp (NASDAQ:CRVL)
CorVel helps control healthcare costs for worker's compensation, group health, and auto / liability claims. Their customers include employers, third party administrators, insurance companies, and government agencies. They have two main business lines: 1) Patient Management (51% of revenues) - controlling claims by active management of patient treatment and 2) Network Solutions (49% of revenues) - a medical savings solution with bill review / repricing and PPO management. CorVel is a hidden gem, ignored by Wall Street with no analyst coverage. Market Cap = $987 MM, PE (TTM) = 32.4 (at closing price of $47.16 on 12/27/2013).
Recommendation - Buy CRVL
Revenue from CorVel's medical cost savings solutions will grow as the Affordable Care Act drives insurers to step up their focus on reducing treatment costs. As revenues grow, economies of scale will drive margin expansion. CorVel should continue to buy back shares building on its strong track record of share count reduction (4.6% CAGR share count reduction over previous 4 years).
Sell targets for different investment timelines are listed below. Sell targets are based on the Risk Based Valuation (see details below). Returns are based on the closing price of $47.16 on 12/27/13.
- Investors with a < 6 month timeline should sell above 54.1 for a 14.7% return
- Investors with a 1 year timeline should sell above 61 for a 29.4% return
- Investors with a 3 year timeline should sell above 84.7 for a 79.6% return
- Investors with a 5 year timeline should sell between 79.5 and 171 for a 113.1% to 262.5% return
Investment Thesis
The investment thesis for CorVel is based on three key points:
#1: The Affordable Care Act will continue to drive higher revenues for CorVel's medical cost savings solutions - CorVel has shown a strong uptick in its Network Solutions business (+15% revenue growth) as the Affordable Care Act is implemented. This effect was highlighted by CEO Gordon Clemens on their most recent earnings conference call:
I''ll speak first to the markets for our services. As we're all well aware the Affordable Care Act, the implementation has implications for every aspect of any healthcare or healthcare insurance services. Both providers and payers are under pressure to reduce costs. The first impact on CorVel from the legislation has been an increase in the demand for our network solution services, specifically our proprietary mid check select hospital bill review services, we see opportunities in each segment of the market place, whether that is in the private carrier market, Medicaid or Medicare.
CorVel's services allow providers and insurers to closely monitor and minimize patient treatment costs. Demand for cost containment services will rise as the Affordable Care Act accelerates adoption of Value Based Purchasing (VBP). VBP is an approach to healthcare reimbursement that seeks to reduce costs and improve the quality of care. In a VBP payment model, when providers deliver quality care below a "reasonable" benchmark cost, they can earn a share of the savings. Providers may have to pay a penalty if the cost exceeds the benchmark. In some cases, providers receive a fixed payment for the benchmark cost amount. They get to keep all savings below the benchmark and are responsible for any costs above the benchmark.
#2: Margins are expanding as revenues grow - CorVel's margins have been increasing as revenues grow. Quarterly revenue growth in the September quarter was 13.2%. Margins expanded across the board. Gross margins increased by 1.14% from 21.65% to 22.89%. Operating margins increased by 2.36% from 10.29% to 12.65%. Net margins increased by 0.98% from 6.29% to 7.27%.
#3: Strong track record of stock buybacks and share count reduction - In the most recent quarter, the CorVel continued its stock repurchase plan by repurchasing 372,000 shares of stock at an average price of $33.42. On an inception to date basis, the CorVel has repurchased approximately 32 million shares for $321 million.
Risk-Based Valuation
The risk-based valuation for CorVel estimates a worst case, expected, and best case investment return over a 5 year time horizon.
Stock Price = (Revenue * Net Margin / Shares Outstanding) * P/E … based on 5 year forward projections
The waterfall chart below shows the relative impact that projected changes in revenue, net margin, shares outstanding, and P/E have on CorVel's estimated valuation (expected case, 5 year forward view). Net margin growth has the greatest impact, driving 69.5% price appreciation. Revenue growth drives a 33.8% positive return, decrease in shares outstanding increases return by 33.4%, and P/E contraction reduces return by 23.7%. The net result is a 113.1% expected return.
Key assumptions for the risk-based valuation are summarized below:
Best Case Assumptions - Basis
- Revenue: 10% vs. 13% mrq, growth driven by Affordable Care Act
- Margin: +5% over 5 years, margins expand as revenues grow
- Shares Outstanding: 5% reduction vs. -4.6% four year CAGR
- P/E: 0% increase in P/E, P/E remains the same as growth potential stays high
Worst Case Assumptions - Basis
- Revenue: 2% vs. 13% mrq, Affordable Care Act impact diminishes over time
- Margin: +2% over 5 years, price competition limits margin expansion
- Shares Outstanding: 1% reduction vs.- 4.6% four year CAGR, share buybacks slow
- P/E: 20% decrease, P/E contracts as growth slows
Expected Case Assumptions are all set at the average of the best and worst case assumptions
Risks to the Investment Thesis
#1: Emergence of alternative cost containment services / technologies - As the Affordable Care Act increases the reward for reducing medical costs, new service and/or software solutions will be developed. These solutions could take customers away from CorVel if they provide more value than CorVel's solution.
#2: Increased in-sourcing of cost containment services - Insurance carriers and large self-funded employers could decide that they could do a better job than CorVel. They could develop an internal capability to manage medical costs.
#3: Pricing Pressure - Competition for market share could force CorVel to lower pricing in order to retain customers. This would have a negative impact on their margins and earnings.

A Visit Before Christmas
A Batman & Wonder Woman Story
Author's Notes: It's time for another BMWW story! I admit that it's out of season and summer is still going strong in a majority of the country, but I figured I'd get a head start.
Please note that I live in the west coast(Northern California specifically)and we never have snow unless it's up at the top of the mountains or at Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. And though I've been to Pennsylvania during winter, my recollection of the weather isn't that great. So forgive me for my little screw ups when it comes to the weather. And besides, Gotham is a different city anyway.
Also, this is a story thrown together, but I felt it was a really cool idea to expand upon.
If you do review, thank you, but it's not necessary.
And now on with the story!
The graveyard was covered in snow. It was late December and the winter time in Gotham was usually very snowy and cold.
Today was a bit different. The sun was out amidst the light fog, but the brightness was still covered.
A lone figure dressed in a pair of black slacks, black shoes, a gray sweater and a black leather jacket walked purposefully through the graveyard. In his black-gloved hands he carried two red roses, and though he knew they wouldn't last in the cold for more than a day or two, he always made sure to bring them before Christmas.
He finally reached his destination. The large gravestone with the name WAYNE was inscribed on it. Thomas and Martha were underneath the large letters with their dates of birth and the date of their tragic death listed below.
Bruce Wayne took off his sunglasses, though he didn't need them on this foggy afternoon, he always felt it was best to wear them on this occasion. He placed them in the inside pocket of his jacket and kneeled down and placed both roses under both names. Bruce closed his eyes for several moments and said a silent prayer for his parents.
He stood up and a slowly backed a few steps away. Looking at the gravestone he took a deep breath and sighed.
"Mom, Dad, I wish you were there a month ago."
He paused before continuing. "I finally settled down."
Bruce stopped himself and allowed a small smile to form. He finally 'settled down', he was married now. He felt the wedding ring on his ring finger underneath the glove he wore. Things had changed in the last year of his life, he had 'died', but in reality was sent through time, through much trials and tribulations on his journey through time, he came back and became Batman again.
And finally after dealing with a great many issues, he finally found time for love. He always thought he could never love or find happiness; mainly because of his mission as the Bat. Yet, for the first time since his childhood, he found both and felt alive and even stronger because of what he found and who he had married.
"You know I always thought I would never love." He took another breath and watched as the air he breathed out of his mouth appeared because of the cold.
"I always put my mission first. But after all that I've been through this last year…"
Bruce closed his eyes. He could still see all of the events that had happened in his life, but despite all the tragedies and hardships; the final image always ended with a brightness that symbolized hope and a better tomorrow.
"I found love and finally have seen that there can be a bright future." He smiled. "The mission just became a lot more hopeful."
Bruce stared at his parents' grave. He was always aware of his surroundings and being in the cemetery was no exception. He could hear a soft landing behind him. He didn't have to turn around; he knew she was here, for him and for his parents.
"I knew you would be here." The voice behind him spoke softly.
Bruce smiled and decided to turn around. He saw his wife, his princess, his Wonder Woman. She was wearing a white winter coat, a red sweater underneath and blue jeans and black shoes. No matter what she wore; she always looked exquisite.
"Alfred told you?" He noted that she was holding two white roses in her white-gloved hands.
Diana Wayne smiled. "No. I just knew. He's actually parked in front of the main gate."
"You flew?"
Diana walked forward and stood in front of him and held his right hand in hers.
"No. I let him drive me here, but I floated over the rest of the way."
Bruce smiled again. She wanted to be as quiet as possible for him during his private moment with his parents.
He let go of her hand and let her walk towards the gravestone and watched her crouch down and place her white roses next to his red ones. He watched silently as she bowed her head in respect.
She stood up and turned around to look at her husband of one month. She felt a strong warmth inside her as she looked at him. She approached him and grabbed both his hands and turned them both so that they facing face his parents' grave while still holding both of each other's hands.
"I heard everything you said…" She whispered.
Bruce looked her in the eyes. "You did?"
She let a caring smile form. "Yes, and I know how much talking to your parents means to you."
Bruce's look on his face showed one of affection and his eyes had love on them. "It means a lot to me."
Diana let go of his hands and wrapped her arms around her husband and gave him a hug. They held each other for several moments. They gave each other a soft kiss before looking at his parents' grave again.
Bruce gently held her left hand and used his thumb and forefinger to gently move up and down her ring finger feeling the diamond wedding ring she wore.
She turned and faced the grave while holding Bruce's hand. She looked at Bruce and he nodded at her.
"Mr. and Mrs. Wayne." Diana spoke with a respectful tone.
Bruce smiled at her and listened as his wife spoke to his parents.
"I want you to know that I will always be there for your son." She took a deep breath before continuing. "I love him and promise to take care and protect him."
She turned and had a small smirk form. "Even if he doesn't need protection. I'll do so anyway."
Bruce smiled and shook his head. He loved Diana and always knew she would be there for him. He would never admit it, but there were occasions when he did need to be protected. And he would do the same for her, even when she didn't ask.
"Merry Christmas to you both." Diana turned and released her hand from Bruce's and wrapped her arm around his.
Bruce looked at his parents' grave one last time. "Merry Christmas, Mom, Dad."
He turned his head to look her in the eyes. "And Merry Christmas to you, Diana."
"Merry Christmas, Bruce." She smiled. "Let's go home."
They both turned and slowly walked out of the cemetery. Holding each other close and knowing everything would be alright.
As they continued to walk, the sunshine finally appeared that day, shining it's rays of light onto the snow covered city. Making these last days before Christmas a joyful time.

MF Global was a major global financial derivativesbroker. MF Global provided exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures andoptions as well as over-the-counter products such as contracts for difference(CFDs), foreign exchange and spread betting. MF Global was also a primarydealer in United States Treasury securities. On October 30, 2011, a unit of theNew York-based brokerage reported a "material shortfall" in customer funds.Customer accounts with $5.45 billion were frozen Oct. 31, the same day theparent company - MF Global Inc.- filed the eighth-largest U.S. bankruptcy. The shortfallin customer accounts may be as large as $1.2 billion, or 22%, according to thetrustee overseeing liquidation. MF Global improperly mixed customer funds andused them for its own account for at least several days before the bankruptcyand even transferred funds outside the country.The brokerage used a large number of complex andcontroversial repurchase agreements or "repos" for funding and for leveragingprofit, many off their balance sheet. In other words, MF Global STOLE from investors. This,despite the fact that MF Global was widely regarded as one of the most highlyregarded and trusted names in its line of business. The message here is that tangible assets offer investorsthe ultimate trust. When you own gold and silver coins, you own something REAL,something SOLID. Something you can keep with you and that no one can just takewithout you ever knowing it, like the crooks at MF Global did.

I sure it was given to the media, just like Presidential speeches , then leaked to Drudge.
Shoot, *I* could have leaked Ubama's speech!
[repeat ad nauseum without any substance]
Hope he remembers to push the defrost button on the teleprompter cause all this hot air is surely gonna fog it up.
The rest of us are still listening to our doubts and our fears.
If you wanna hang out youve got to take her out; cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.
If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.
If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine.
Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.
Oh yeah, that's why Drudge has a man crush on Obama.
While we have our fears about Obama as president, it's quite possible that he will be easier to beat in the general election.
Stay tuned. This may work out for the best, with Obama taking care of the wicked witch, then McCain taking out Obama.
The witch may be back in 2012 but she and Bill are done for this election cycle.
I hate this communist pig 10 times worse than I ever hated Bill Klinton and that is saying a LOT.
Naive to the bone.
Obama just doesn't have the gravitas to go this nasty this early.
Iused tothink I could atleast "tolerate" him...but, that's fading fast.
Uh, Drudge certainly has been pimping Obama...
of course, Hillary wanted to reintroduce the Fairness Doctrine which was of utmost concern to Drudge...so much so that hey talked about moving offshore for a time.
"this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war"
and terrorists celbrate the nomination of a spineless empty suit and continue to plan their next attack.
Simple, to steal Hillary's thunder
Drudge has been looking just like that lately, only minus Chrissy Matthews' giggles and tingles up his leg.
Guaranteed just like Social Security.
Before long, we will all be totally and utterly at the mercy of the central planners. And, we will all be equal...in poverty.
Thanks for posting that, I sent it off to everyone in my address book.
This quote reminds me of Reagan's words: "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness."
It sounds like many Americans, uneducated and uninformed, have been hoodwinked into believing that right is wrong and wrong is right and, as such, they are now willing to sentence their fellow countrymen and their children to a thousand years of darkness.
After 54 hard-fought contests across 58 states......
You only get one sheet, and only after Sheryl Crow has used it first!!
Now that's conservation....
McCain is no Reagan Conservative. I am liking Bob Barr right now. I know of no one in my church that will be voting McCain.
McCain hates evangelical Conservatives.
In 1971, Congress and the President passed a law that officially coined the name, "Memorial Day" and officially marked the last Monday in May as the official day. Many of the Southern States, however, have adopted their own dates:
Mississippi celebrates "Confederate Memorial Day" on the last Monday in April.
Alabama celebrates "Confederate Memorial Day" on the fourth Monday of April
Georgia celebrates "Confederate Memorial Day" on April 26.
North and South Carolina celebrates "Confederate Memorial Day" on May 10.
Louisiana celebrates "Confederate Memorial Day" on June 3.
Tennessee celebrates "Confederate Decoration Day" on June 3.
Texas celebrates "Confederate Heroes Day" on January 19.
Virginia celebrates "Confederate Memorial Day" on the last Monday in May.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Relax Airport Casablanca
I was set up in this place by Royal Air Maroc during my long layover and I have to say that it was way better than sitting in the airport for 14 hours. There was some construction going on but I found the whole place to be suitable for me while I was in transit. I looked online while staying there and several people gave horrid reviews, I really don't think it was as bad as most people said it was, then again I didn't pay for it. So I would label it "Functional" for those traveling due to it's proximity to the airport and the free shuttle. I would also like to remind people that you're in Africa, so knock your expectations down a notch or two.
If you're not in transit to or from the airport, don't stay there.

We have had 1/2 inch of rain so far from Floyd. No wind, and very heavy
cloud cover. Floyd is heading up the coast towards Delaware.
It looks like our long drought is over.
We are under tropical storm warnings at the moment but Floyd is expected
to come this way. We have bad beach erosion in the past few years. We
are less than thirty miles from the ocean and just might end up with
beach front property.
As can be expected, we are getting calls like crazy from people wanting
trees removed before the storm hits. The calls are rather entertaining.
(you have to be here) Looks like it's time for a hurricane office party!
I know some of our fellow robineers are in the hit zone too.
Best of luck to all those with shade and greenhouses. At least hostas in

This invention relates to disk drive memories and more particularly, to a method for maintaining a minimum of head/arm movements over the disk surface.
Conventionally, read and write commands to disk are performed immediately upon issuance of the command. Read commands generally must be performed immediately to assure smooth operation of a program. However, write commands, which occur when modified data is to be rewritten to disk, need not necessarily be performed immediately. Nevertheless, such writes to disk have been conventionally performed on an "as occur" basis. As a result, a number of head/arm movements over the disk surface occur which require substantial travel to accomplish the various write commands.
By their nature, such extended head/arm traversals over the disk surface consume time, during which, the disk is rendered unable to respond to a read command. When this occurs, program execution waits until the requested data is read.
In this invention a temporary file is provided for the storage of modified data and further provides a buffering arrangement for data which is to be rewritten to disk. Because the modified data is stored in the temporary file, there is no immediate need to rewrite it to its final position on disk. Thus the accepted procedure of writing on an "as occur" basis is unnecessary.
As the temporary file is employed during substantially every "write" operation, it is desireable to station the disk drive's read/write head directly over the track (or tracks) in which the temporary file is stored. Furthermore, the temporary file track is generally placed midway between the innermost an outermost disk tracks so that head movements to other tracks can be minimized.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a disk drive system wherein the head/arm structure is positioned over an often-used track and head/arm write excursions are minimized.
It is another object of this invention to provide a method for minimizing head/arm excursions by performing a plurality of write actions in a single head/arm excursion.
The method of the invention is performed on a disk drive with at least a rotatable disk and a head/arm mechanism movable moreover. The disk has a plurality of concentric tracks, including innermost and outermost tracks and an intermediate track positioned therebetween, with the intermediate track including often-used records. The method reduces movements of the head/arm mechanism through the steps of:
a. positioning the head/arm mechanism over the intermediate track;
b. moving the head/arm mechanism away from the intermediate track to another track to perform a requested read operation;
c. moving the head/arm mechanism, after the read operation, further away from the intermediate track by a determined distance to a further track;
d. moving the head/arm mechanism back to the intermediate track from the further track and performing write actions in tracks over which the head/arm mechanism moves in its traversal back to the intermediate track. The position of the further track may be determined dependent upon the rate of read requests recently experienced by the disk drive.
FIG. 1 is plan view of a disk surface showing various track positions thereon.
FIG. 2 is a high level flow diagram of the method of the invention.
FIG. 3 is a high level flow diagram of the invention's method when it is applied to a "disk sweep" operation.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a schematic view of a magnetic disk 10 is illustrated over which read/write head 12 is positioned. Disk surface 14, in the well known manner, comprises a plurality of discrete recording tracks with track 16 being an innermost recording track and track 18 an outermost track. Track 20 is an intermediate track and is generally placed approximately midway between tracks 16 and 18. Track 20 will generally include the most-used data on the disk surface. In particular, it will contain the aforementioned temporary file.
The temporary file includes copies of both unmodified and modified data for the purpose of enabling recovery of the computing system in the event of a failure. Notwithstanding the fact that track 20 is most-often used, read/write head 12 must be moved about the surface 14 of disk 10 to accomplish read and write functions on other tracks.
In general, a read command is immediately executed, with head 12 being immediately moved to the track in which the requested data is positioned. For instance, assuming that track 22 contains data which is to be read, the arm structure (not shown) attached to head 12 causes head 12 to traverse the distance d to track 22 (i.e., "read" track) where the requested data is then read. In the prior art, head 12 would then be moved to another track to either perform a write or read function depending upon which command is pending and in the sequence that they were requested. In this instance however, the temporary file enables a number of modified records to be queued in a buffer, awaiting their time to be rewritten to disk.
It has been found preferable to accomplish some of these rewrites during a portion of a head excursion in connection with a read operation. Furthermore, it has been found preferable, after the read operation, to move head 12 a little further away from intermediate track 20 by a determined distance and then to cause the writes to occur as head 12 is moved back from there to track 20. This enables the write queue to be reduced during each read excursion of head 12. On the other hand, it is preferable to the functioning of a parallel computing system that read commands are immediately executed upon receipt. Thus, if read commands are being received on a rapid basis, the movement of head 12 to perform the queued write functions will be preempted to avoid significant delay of the operation of the system.
To further minimize head-arm excursions, head 12 may be incrementally moved past the "read" track (track 22) by a determined amount to accomplish the nearby write functions on its return excursion. However, that determined amount may be made directly dependent upon the number of read commands recently received. To implement this function, a "write time" of duration T is assigned and is the period of time for performing writes to disk. The rate of read commands is also accumulated on a continuing basis, with the rate "r" being the number of read commands per time T. A radial overshoot R of head 12 past a "read" track is calculated from the function: ##EQU1## It can thus be seen that radial overshoot R varies inversely the number of read commands experienced during time T. As the number of read commands increases, R decreases. In other words, it is known that the average minimum time for read operations by head 12 can be accomplished by maintaining head 12 approximately centrally located between the innermost and outermost tracks 16 and 22. This, of course, disregards any write requirements of the system. Thus, as the rate of read commands increase, it is less desirable that head 12 be moved further away from intermediate track 20 to prevent the required read commands from efficiently being executed. The distance D of the further excursion of head 12 from track 20 is given by the relation:
D=R (d).
Thus, in summary, head 12 is moved to a read track 22 to accomplish a read function. Then, assuming a queue of modified data awaits to be rewritten to disk, head 12 is moved further to a track (e.g. track 23) which is a distance D from intermediate track 20. At this point, head 12 is then moved back towards track 20 and the writes to be accomplished within the tracks encompassed by distance D are performed along the way.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a more detailed flow diagram of the method of the invention is described. Initially, head 12 is positioned over a most-used track, e.g., track 20 (box 50). The system then maintains a record of the rate of read commands experienced during time T (box 52). If there is no read request pending (box 54) for a track remote from track 20, the program recycles to box 50. If there is a remote read request pending, the system moves head 12 to the read track (e.g., track 22), and the read is accomplished (box 56). The system then inquires as to whether there is another read request pending (box 58) and if so, it performs the requested read. If there is no read request pending, it inquires into whether there is a write request (or requests) pending (box 60). If no, the head is moved back over the most used track (box 50). If write requests are pending, the system calculates R and D (box 62) and finds those disk addresses for records to be rewritten between the most used track and the track (e.g. track 23) at distance D therefrom, (in the direction of the read track). Again, as before, if a read request is pending, (box 66), it takes precedence and is immediately performed. If there is no read request pending, head 12 is moved to track 23 where the data queued to be written is then recorded in the tracks over which head 12 traverses on its way back to track 20 (box 68). The program then recycles and continues as above stated.
Under certain circumstances, it may occur that too many data records to be rewritten have been accumulated in a write buffer. In such case, a "disk-sweep" function is performed to "clean out" to-be-written data queue. This method is shown in the flow diagram of FIG. 3. Preparatory to carrying out this method, the system maintains a record of whether the inner or the outer sides of the most-used track, is most frequently accessed (box 80).
In response to a "disk-sweep" command, the system then moves head 12 in the direction of the most frequently accessed inner or outer side of disk 10 (box 82). Here again, if any read requests are pending (box 84), they are immediately performed (box 86) and the system recycles. If there are no read requests pending, the queued writes are performed (box 88) as head 12 is moved back to the most used track (box 90). The system then inquires whether all writes are complete (box 92) and if the answer is no, it then moves head 12 to the less frequently accessed inner/outer side of disk 10 and does the writes queued for that portion of the disk surface (box 94), (recalling that any read request will immediately cause an interrupt to occur and the read to be performed). Once all writes have been accomplished, the program exits.
It should be understood that the foregoing description is only illustrative of the invention. Various alternatives and modifications can be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variances which fall within the scope of the appended claims.
