|Re: Atomic index/search for a phrase
|Thu, 07 Sep 2006 03:51:57 GMT
Which is more efficient with respect to performance? Indexing a phrase as it is and searcing with the help of a TermQuery OR Storing only single words in index and making use of quoted search phrases? Regards, Venkateshprasanna If you index "A Phrase" as untokenized, you would find it with a TermQuery for "A Phrase". You must use exact case. If you're using QueryParser, the text get analyzed and most analyzers lowercase. If this expression is quoted it would become a PhraseQuery with two terms, or if it is unquoted it would become a BooleanQuery with two TermQuery clauses - either way it would not match if you indexed the phrase as untokenized. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Atomic-index-search-for-a-phrase-tf1250772.html#a6183788 Sent from the Lucene - Java Users forum at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

There has been heightened interest in the prevention and minimization of perioperative infections1. These efforts have included, but are not limited to, the NSQIP (National Surgical Quality Improvement Program) and SCIP (Surgical Care Improvement Program). Notwithstanding this heightened interest, the substantial morbidity and increased costs of perioperative infections are best avoided.
A few recent clinical studies have indicated decreased infection rates in surgical procedures in which the surgeons employed intraoperative irrigation with an antiseptic solution. Brown et al. reported a reduction in the ninety-day infection rate in hip and knee arthroplasties from 0.97% (in wounds irrigated with 1 L of normal saline solution prior to closure) to 0.15% with a three-minute irrigation with dilute (0.35%) Betadine and a 10% povidone-iodine skin application prior to final closure2. Cheng et al. performed a prospective randomized spine surgery trial and reported no infections in 208 patients following irrigation with dilute (3.5%) Betadine compared with one superficial and six deep infections in 206 patients treated without irrigation (p < 0.01)3. However, there have been few such studies, and the antiseptic agents and their concentration have varied among the studies, presumably on the basis of which antiseptic solutions were readily available and on empirical practices. To our knowledge, there have been no in vivo studies comparing the efficacy or toxicity of one solution with that of another in a surgical wound model, and there have been few studies evaluating the effect of the concentration of these solutions on their efficacy and/or tissue toxicity during surgery. Howells et al. did evaluate the effect of irrigation solutions on the strength of the cement-bone interface in a cadaveric animal model and reported inferior cement fixation associated with irrigation with normal saline solution or povidone-iodine compared with hydrogen peroxide4. They theorized that the effervescent effect of the hydrogen peroxide better cleansed the bone, allowing for improved cement penetration and interdigitation, thereby improving the strength of the cement-bone interface. Several studies have indicated potential toxic effects of antiseptic irrigation solutions, especially where articular cartilage remains5-7. Von Keudell et al. reported chrondrotoxicity of povidone-iodine even at 0.35% strength if applied for longer than one minute to bovine cartilage explants5. Hirsch et al. found that povidone-iodine exhibited lower antibacterial efficacy and higher toxicity to human skin cells compared with a number of other antiseptic solutions in a cell culture environment7. Therefore, it is natural that questions have arisen regarding which antiseptic agent (if any) is the best for irrigation of an open wound and what concentration it should be used in. These are the core issues that van Meurs et al. have addressed.
Their basic-science laboratory study attempts to provide some scientific basis to guide the clinical selection of an antiseptic solution and its concentration to be used for irrigation of a surgical wound. In the model systems utilized, povidone-iodine antiseptic solution emerged as the best of the five agents that were tested. It possessed the best balance of providing bactericidal capability while minimizing cytotoxicity at clinically relevant concentrations. As explained in the article, the other agents possessed unacceptable cytotoxicity at the concentrations required to achieve sufficient bactericidal effect. Unfortunately, even povidone-iodine exhibited some cytotoxicity at the more effective bactericidal concentrations. It should be noted, however, that this was a study based on cytotoxicity in a cell culture environment, which may not precisely reflect cellular toxicity, tissue toxicity, or wound-healing interference in an in vivo environment. The toxicity tolerance of cells in a monolayer on culture medium may well be substantially different from the toxicity tolerance of exposed tissue in an in vivo surgical environment that is well vascularized. Similarly, the bactericidal effect of antiseptic irrigation in an in vivo environment, in which blood and other tissue fluids are present, is unlikely to precisely reflect the bactericidal effect of such a solution on bacteria suspended in the solution. These concerns were acknowledged by the authors in their discussion. Because of such differences involving the local environments and the actual tissue configurations tested, the validity of their conclusions must be considered in light of the experimental environment. Be that as it may, this study does contribute to the body of knowledge and provides scientific data supporting recent clinical studies indicating that wound irrigation with povidone-iodine solution decreases the risk of subsequent wound infections.
On the basis of the results of this study and the limited existing current body of information, wound irrigation with dilute povidone-iodine solution appears reasonable as a potential method to minimize the risk of perioperative infection in cases without retained articular cartilage. Before endorsing the use of any of these agents at any concentration for any specified period of time as a new standard of care for any particular type of procedure, however, we need further clinical studies; these should include animal studies investigating toxicity to various tissues as well as studies documenting the in vivo bactericidal efficacy of these various agents at various concentrations and under specific surgical conditions of use. Long-term studies are required to confirm the absence of any unsuspected or currently undetected deleterious effects of such a practice. To date, we are unaware of any clinically relevant complications of dilute povidone-iodine wound irrigation. If the simple, low-cost practice of dilute povidone-iodine wound irrigation is confirmed to decrease infection rates appreciably, and if substantial complications are not observed, then such a practice seems prudent to us, given the severe morbidity associated with perioperative infections. Until such additional data are available, the study by van Meurs et al. does contain additional basic-science data that provide a scientific rationale to guide clinicians in their practice of antiseptic wound irrigation. We intend to continue to utilize dilute povidone-iodine wound irrigation in arthroplasty procedures without retained cartilage, pending further investigations of this and other infection prevention practices.

Birthday girl Jourdan Dunn celebrates her 24th in London
She turned 24 this week, and Jourdan Dunn was out again to celebrate her birthday once more in London. Looking every bit the supermodel, Jourdan stepped out in a Fringed stretch-cady minidress by Stella McCartney worth £2,725. Showing off her endless legs, the model headed to Coya restaurant for dinner before enjoying a boogie at Libertine.
She accessorised her outfit with black sandals and a matching clutch bag while wearing a brunette hair in a straight centre-parting.
Jourdan was seen leaving the club with her younger brother Antoine, who wore head to toe black for the occasion. Dunn was last reportedly in a relationship with footballer Daniel Sturridge but the pair split up because of their busy schedules, according to the Sunday People.
A source told the newspaper: 'The relationship is over, both have moved on. It's a shame as they got on really well but they just had too much going on. Jourdan will not be going to the World Cup.'
The most important man in Jourdan's life is her son Riley, who she had with ex-boyfriend Jordan Cummings, who was convicted of cocaine possession when their boy was just a few weeks old. Though they are no longer together, Dunn told the Evening Standard that she always wants him to play a role in Riley's life.
'We were together for five years, but whatever issues we have with each other it's not that important because it's all about Riley,' the model explained. 'We both come from broken homes, so even though we are not together we want to put on a united front for him, to be in each other's lives. 'I want Riley to have his dad in his life.'

have it and love it!
The Samsung Galaxy Tab is a 7 inch tablet running Google's Android mobile operating system (version 2.2 aka Froyo). It uses a customized version (TouchWiz UI 3.0) of Android's user interface similar to the ones used for Samsung's Galaxy S Android handsets. It will most likely have a similar hardware configuration to the smaller Galaxy S handset. With over 60,000 application to choose from in the Android market, a multi-touch on-screen keyboard, gyroscope and accelerometer, the Galaxy Tab competes directly with Apple's iOS-based tablet, the iPad.
The Galaxy Tab as a few advantages over the iPad: the included official Amazon Kindle application for e-books (available on all major platforms), microSD memory expansion slot (up to 32GB per card), front-facing 1.3MP camera as well as 3MP rear camera with flash, Bluetooth 3.0, it is able to make regular phone calls (though without earpiece -> use speakerphone or Bluetooth), higher pixel density display, dual-band (2.4GHz/5Ghz) 802.11n WiFi, HDMI output via the docking station, and a twice as fast graphics processor (PowerVR SGX540)
Though this looks a lot better than the iPad, I'm still not convinced I need this sort of form factor. That were different if the Galaxy Tab offered a real e-reader screen (in color and multi-touch of course). Perhaps next year's model will bring that? Until then, I'm staying away from this.

Hello Brock,
It may depend on how you are set up for receiving mail from the group.
I'm set to 'no mail' and view postings via the hort.net archives. In
order to reply to a specific post like I am doing now, I have to first
log on to Yahoo and go to the Yahoo archives. After locating the
message and opening it, then the option for replying is available. If
you receive mail directly in your mailbox, then simply doing an email
reply works. If you are set to 'no mail' you could, alternativly just
re the subject line and send the mail. Because of the manner I use the
archives, I go to the trouble to reply directly. It keeps the thread
option in the archives neater and easier to use.

Ravishing Hotel
We stayed at the Hyatt in Dearborn for the first time. I booked online so I wasn't sure what to expect. I chose it because of its excellent location. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Dearborn. The hotel was absolutely beautiful. The rooms were flawless, good size, spotlessly clean, and 100% quiet! No noise at all, despite being on a main street. The staff was friendly and helpful. I really can't say enough about my experience there.
It was my first time to Michigan, and this hotel and staff put me immediately at ease. We did order room service one night and it was prompt and hot, and the staff member who delivered it was very friendly. I would not stay anywhere else if I ever return!!
Unique Quality: Swimming Pool is magnificent.
Unique Experience
This past weekend I had the opportunity to stay with family and friends at the Hyatt Dearborn, In between all 3 families and kids we booked a total of six rooms. My family friends were very happy with their rooms and did not have any issues, however I did, the tv in my room did not work. I waited for the technician t come and fix it and as he finished doing his work on the tv I was sure it would work now, to my surprise it stil did not work. This is when I went down to the reception and discussed this issue with the Hotel Manager, Once I explained to him the whole situation and how much time it took to resolve , he right away upgraded us to a new room were the Tv was working properly but even upgraded us to a larger room which was almost like a suite. All in all I was very satisfied with the service at The Hyatt Dearborn.
Unique Quality: The Restaurant here is ravishing, offering excellent food and service as well as very refined wine.
Dearbon`s Number 1 Hotel!!
This is the place to stay in Dearborn. What a Wonderful experience. The personnel here was so friendly, they took care of everything, we really felt on vacation. The room was gorgeous and large. The swimming pool was big and beautiful. Had a wondrous time. Thank You Hyatt Dearborn, Will definitely come again
A nice Splurge
Have never stayed here myself, but have only heard good things about it. Also a choice hotel for all types of conventions.
Unique Quality: The Hyatt not only is one of the top hotels in southeast Michigan, but is also home to many bridal expos and numerous holiday parties including Halloween and New Year's Eve.
Directions: Located in the Town Center vicinity of west Dearborn, at Southfield, Michigan Ave and Evergreen.

What do you suppose Ed, Art and Art Jr. did Monday night? One safe bet is that these Abreu family members gathered around a TV set to watch the national college championship football game between the Clemson Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide.
And why any particular interest in this game? They watched because they enjoy high-quality football but mainly because Ed, who is the son of Edward Leland Abreu, was a starting player for the South Carolina team some 39 years ago, in the Gator Bowl.
Editor's note: The following editorial is from The Denver Post and was originally published Dec. 30.
President Barack Obama's decision to punish Russia for orchestrating a hacking campaign meant to influence the 2016 election is a welcome move, and one that should be supported by good patriots everywhere.
I've written columns about some of the things we're doing at the city to make things better, but I haven't really shared with you the vision, the view from 50,000 feet that brings all of this together.
I'm going to take a swing at that today.
Las Vegas is a city with a proud and unique history. We have a great deal of wealth here. It lies in our culture, our people, our natural surroundings, our stories, our art, our architecture. Our wealth is beneath our feet and in our neighbors and all around us.
By Rick Kraft
I don't know much about cows, but I've been told that to get maximum production from a cow, she needs to have a regular routine. The more disruptions in a cow's routine, the less milk she produces.
This concept applies to humans also. Life needs to have a routine. Most of it needs to be predictable. Predictability and stability mixed with goals and adventures can lead to a great existence.
Artist angry over use of work
I am writing to you about two myths: one, the La Llorona myth and two, the myth that artists live on love and air sandwiches. I know a lot about both.

NBC Camps will host a volleyball camp this summer at Auburn Adventist Academy in Auburn, Washington. Our coaches are ready to help you elevate your game while having fun.
NBC Vollleyball will host a camp at Auburn Adventist Academy in Auburn, Washington this summer. This camp will help improve your volleyball skills, increase your confidence and leadership skills. Coaches will teach the game both indoors and outdoors at this location.
This volleyball camp has sold-out the last three years. Register now so you do not miss out!
As a junior, she was the team's Most Valuable Player when she hit .172 and finished with 902 assists, 32 aces and 230 digs in 99 sets. She set the school record for career assists with 2,679, a record that stood for 10 years (currently third). Also a letter winner in 1986 and 1987, she finished her career with 299 total games played, a .235 hitting percentage and 570 digs. In four seasons at EWU (1986-89), the Eagles had three 20-win seasons and were a collective 77-57 overall and 33-25 in league play. In 2008, she was inducted into the Tacoma-Pierce County Sports Hall of Fame. She is currently the Registration Coordinator for NBC Auburn basketball. Vick is a physical education teacher at Harrison Prep School in Tacoma, WA and is a mother of three great boys.
The NBC Difference
Unlike other camp programs where skills training falls under the expertise of the camp director, NBC Camps has built a program of training to help each camper walk out of camp a better player and person. Our site directors work as event managers helping to run a great week of camp and facilitating the implementation of our specific camp expectations. Our volleyball instruction is based on skill curriculum and talent development we believe are essential to take your game to the next level. Coaching at camp is much different than coaching a team. Since 1980, our goal is to give you the best volleyball and life skills instruction possible.
NBC Camps coaches are known for their hard work, great attitude, and commitment to helping you reach your potential on and off the court. Our curriculum focuses on helping you master even the most difficult skills as well as developing leadership, mental toughness, and confidence.
Complete Player Volleyball
This volleyball summer camp offers training in all aspects of the sport including leadership and confidence training. NBC's Complete Player volleyball curriculum is all encompassing to help athletes develop and master skills to play the game of volleyball with excellence. Complete Player camps offer overnight (complete program training) and extended day options for those who commute to and from camp each morning and evening. Camp is very rigorous and we only recommend commuting for those who live nearby.
Complete Player Volleyball Camp
Dates: July 30 - August 3
Age Group: Girls 11 – 18 years old
Check-in Time: 12:30 pm on July 30
Parent Orientation: 1:00 pm and 1:25 pm

Campers will be staying in dorms. You do not need to request a roommate before camp begins. When you sign up for a room, have your preferred roommate with you. If you have no preference, we will match you with someone of the same gender and similar age. Each room has 2 beds available with additional floor mattresses if you want to room with more than one other person. These rooms are not air-conditioned and we suggest you bring a fan.
AAA has a huge gym complex which is used as one of the gym training stations as well as the Intensity station and for the nightly evening programs. The cafeteria facility provides an all-you-can-eat salad bar with fresh fruit, hot entrees with beverage, sandwich and cereal stations. (The cafeteria at Auburn Adventist Academy serves primarily vegetarian meals, however there are meals provided during the week that are not vegetarian).
I love camp here at NBC because everybody was very supportive and the staff was amazing.
I loved the intense workouts and I got better because of it.
Camp was really fun, I would have liked the camp to be longer and I wanted to focus more on hitting and serving more though.
I learned how to encourage my team.
Loved the high expectations, and good overall message!
The structure of the camp was great.
The staff was wonderful. Very helpful and made the whole check in and out process great!
It was well organized and on schedule. We appreciate this. We were provided with a good amount of information. Thank you!
Great message about values, teamwork,unselfishness!
Times need to end and start on time so kids who don't stay the night can be included and parents can make a schedule. You teach the game well.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself and gained confidence in my game. Loved the competition.

The trailer for the upcoming adaptation being undertaken by Baz Luhrmann has been released today!
Personally, I am an enormous fan of the book and if the film delivers on what the trailer is offering, then Luhrmann has created the greatest adaptation seen yet.
The trailer starts off with music by Florence and the Machine, and highlights what makes Jay Gatsby's character so magnetic to narrator Nick Carraway. Then the tone switches with a fantastic cover of 'So Happy Together' by Filter. It then begins showing us the darker undertones of the film, eventually we begin to see the darkness that lies within Gatsby himself.
The film centers around Nick Carraway, a Midwesterner now living on Long Island. Nick finds himself fascinated by the mysterious past and lavish lifestyle of his neighbor, Jay Gatsby. He is drawn into Gatsby's circle, becoming a witness to obsession and tragedy.
The Great Gatsby stars Leonardo DiCaprio as the iconic Jay Gatsby. Toby Maguire as the enigmatic narrator Nick Carraway, and Carey Mulligan will be playing as the delicate Daisy Buchanan.
This trailer has gotten me really excited to see The Great Gatsby, what did you think of it?

Jungle Lodge
Great location but ...
We stayed two nights here, choosing it because of its nearness to the ruins. The plan was to be able to visit early in the morning before most other tourists arrived, but for several reasons that plan never came off. Nevertheless it was still very convenient to be staying here and that convenience probably outweighed the couple of things that niggled us. One of these was the less than friendly service we received from the reception staff; this was the only time in Guatemala that we felt that people were anything other than happy to welcome us and to provide a good service (this wasn't however the case with the restaurant here, whose staff were polite and helpful). The other niggle was that the place seemed almost deserted, especially at mealtimes, and we felt a bit self-conscious eating almost alone in the large dining room or drinking by ourselves in the bar.
On the plus side our room was a good size and had all the basic necessities. We had one of the en suite bungalows (much cheaper rooms with shared bathrooms are also available). Its décor was a little drab but it had plenty of cupboard space and two double beds with mosquito netting (although in practice we found the screens gave us more than enough protection as there seemed very few mosquitos in the immediate area of the lodge).
The bathroom had a large walk-in shower but no plug for the basin, and was very incongruously tiled with images of English garden birds! We had a small area of decking with two wooden chairs which were useful for drying my swimsuit after a dip in the pool. And the pool (photo 2) was one of the nicest parts of the lodge – a good size and nicely shaded, with plenty of loungers (especially as we were, again, the only people around).
Unique Quality: Don't be surprised to find yourself sharing your room here with one or two "local residents"! We had a friendly little lizard popping out from behind the wardrobe a couple of times, and a not so friendly large spider on one of the beds when we arrived – the bell boy shook him out of the door and we never saw another one, thankfully.
You will also be very aware of the local wildlife at night, especially the somewhat eerie calls of the howler monkeys.
More prosaically, there is internet access in the lobby, although the computers are a little elderly and there's a charge of $3 for 30 minutes.
Directions: Inside the National Park and very near the visitor centre
Oh Well - You Can't Have Everything
With our late morning arrival at the Jungle Lodge, two long afternoon walks to the temples, darkness by 6:30 PM, another morning walk and then check-out before 1 PM, we did not have a great deal of time available for a proper look around our choice of accommodations. It was therefore with some regret that we discovered this beautiful hotel swimming pool as we waited for our return mini-bus ride back to Belize! Never even got to dip our feet in!
We did however enjoy sitting out on the chairs in front of our little room. It was nice to stare out into the jungle, watch the Oscellated Turkeys (at first, I half-wondered if they were Peacocks) as they strolled past and we could also hear the echoing crys of the male Black Howler Monkeys in the tree-tops as they staked out their territorial claims.
The Jungle Lodge was great for us!
Were We Glad for This!
Our original plan for visiting Tikal had been to find cheaper accommodations in or around El Remate, the small village located about 30 miles from the Mayan temples in the National Park and then to try to arrange transportation in. However, given our time constraints and lack of Spanish, we decided to cut out the complications and head straight for the centre of the NP, taking our chances on finding accommodations in one of the three hotels located there. On our late-morning arrival, our mini-van took us first to the Jaguar Inn (they were full but had covered hammocks and tent sites available for about US$7), then the Tikal Inn a couple of hundred feet away (also full) and finally to the Jungle Lodge. We were in luck here, because they had spare double rooms with shared bath facilities going for US$40, credit cards accepted (Note: a 5% surcharge is applied to all credit card payments)!
Unique Quality: The Jungle Lodge is actually the hotel closest to the trail leading into the Mayan temple site and it consists of 50 rooms situated on lush tropical grounds. I was totally amazed at the quality of the buildings and grounds that we suddenly found ourselves in! There are a number of separate bungalows spread around the property as well as the row of cheaper double rooms that we managed to get ahold of. The shared bath was very plush, separate rooms for 'Girls' and 'Boys' with tiled floors, very nice sinks, big mirrors, clean toilets - couldn't ask for anything better.
The hotel also had a spacious dining room with attached bar (see my 'Restaurant' tips) which also accepted credit card payments - lucky because I only brought a limited amount of Quetzales (7.6 Q = 1 US$) with us. Our room had two separate beds and a ceiling fan to help the louvered windows with the cooling. Because the hotel is located in the middle of the jungle, along with everything else at Tikal, power is supplied by a diesel generator from a nearby research lab and is switched off between 10 PM and 6 AM. Note: on the 'Other' contact email address below add a ".com" on the end - VT does not allow enough space for the full goods!
Directions: One of three hotels located at the central area of Tikal National Park, only a 10 minute walk from the entrance to the Mayan temples.
Within Tikal National Park
This lodge is located within Tikal National Park. The main thatched building houses the front desk, bar-lounge and dining room. The bungalow accomodations have private bathrooms (with hot water), electricity and small porches. And, they have a pool!
Accommodations are only available as part of a package tour of Tikal. But, they do offer one-night packages. Extra nights are only $35.
Unique Quality: This is within the park...you can't get any closer (unless you hide 'til after closing and sleep on top of pyramid 3--people have claimed to have done this---I dunno). This place is in the middle of the jungle and you can fall asleep (or stay awake) listening to the birds, monkeys and, perhaps, a jaguar.

When the burglars broke into our Bensonhurst apartment in the spring of 1979, they took a lot more than the Adler electric typewriter and a pillowcase. They also stole our sense of security. The apartment that had been home no longer was. We felt as though we lived in a hostile world of strangers: evil people ready to seize all that was ours and laugh us in the face. And frankly, I was going to miss that Adler. It and I had aced a whole slew of courses in public administration and political science, finally earning me the spot of honor on the dean's list the last semester I attended college.
When I checked the mail that day, a strange item had arrived. A law school in Minnesota that I had applied to earlier in the year had sent us a notice that they were willing to consider my application if I sent a $100 application fee. They already had the application sent in with LSAT scores, typed up on the now stolen Adler.
Had our apartment not been broken into, I would have thought a lot longer and harder about moving to Minnesota to pursue the study of law. I didn't realize the adjustments we would have to undergo to leave Brooklyn and live in St. Paul with its small Jewish community. My mother-in-law, who had been raised in Mississippi, tried to warn me, but I would not listen. I sent the fee. I couldn't wait to get out of Brooklyn.
Upon acceptance, I left my position at the City University and my wife quit her job. We hired a mover and packed our goods.
The first premonition that this might not work out smoothly came the day I sat in the office of the law school to sign loan papers. I felt awful inside. Something was wrong – though I did not know what it was.
In law school, I found the work a lot harder than anything I had done in college. Even the discussion about the legal ramifications of the loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior only a few years earlier found me eventually snoozing on the desk in the class on torts that covered the issue.
My favorite activity in law school was sitting in the school cafeteria, munching on a peanut butter sandwich (the only thing I trusted the cafeteria not to mess up), drinking coffee and regaling my classmates with tales about New York and Brooklyn. That wasn't enough to get me passing grades.
So in August 1980, I found myself without a job, kicked out of school, stuck in a strange and foreign place with a wife who had found a secure job with the county and who was not moving back to New York. And I was stuck with a debt that I had to pay off.
I had no connections in the Middle West and no desire whatever to learn to talk Minnesotan or to involve myself with Midwestern culture. That day in the law school office and the bad feeling kept coming back to me. One day my former law school buddies, whom I had regaled with stories about New York, dropped by to say hello. I found myself doing the same thing in our apartment in St. Paul as I had done in the cafeteria in law school, and then the thought struck me. Why should I tell the stories for free?
So I sat down with a pen and paper and started putting to paper all sorts of things that had happened to me as a child in Brooklyn. The first thing I remember writing about was a snowball fight. But I felt I needed training of some kind, something to help me with a new and different craft. Well, it wasn't that new a craft. A good lawyer has to be able to write a convincing brief of his case, something that another lawyer — a judge would buy. Writing clearly and convincingly is a big part of good lawyering.
Nevertheless, writing stories is not exactly the same thing as writing a legal brief, so I enrolled in an evening course at a junior high on St. Paul's east side, a course on writing children's books. The teacher was a cigarette smoking lady from the south who insisted on using only the kindest terms in commenting on the works of the other students in the class. She went over the things that writers need to know about getting ideas on paper and conveying them to others as stories. Here, I was not reading the works of others; I was producing work for others to read. I was expected to bring something new each week. And I did.
I learned the difference between a vignette and a story, what point of view means and how to stay within it, and ideas about plotting. This course was taught before people had come out with computer programs to produce plots. It was like learning how to do a square root on paper or figure concepts in math with a slip stick instead of using a little calculator to do all the hard skull work.
We all enjoyed Emily Crofford's class so much that we signed up for a second course, and we were looking forward to a third, but apparently Emily was not going to be teaching at the school – for whatever reason. I suggested that we get together somewhere on a regular basis instead. She thought about it and the very next week she let us know that we were all invited to be members of her brand new writers' group that would meet twice monthly on Wednesdays at her home.
I spent many a Wednesday evening there, munching on lemon sours or chocolates, and drinking a cup of coffee, critiquing the work of other writers or having them critique mine. The fact that I had to bring something to Emily's house was often a motivator to write when nothing else was. Even when my marriage fell apart and I was living on the streets in St. Paul, I managed to get to her writers' group – even if I had to walk all the way from downtown St. Paul where I spent most of my days.
It was only after I had secured a position as a manager at a Burger King that I stopped coming regularly to Emily's writer's group. I know it is hard for many to believe but managing a restaurant — even a fast food joint — is mentally demanding work, and I could no longer turn out stories like I had in years previous. Nevertheless, I never completely stopped and was always made to feel welcome in her home in Highland Park.
Emily had been a journalist in Little Rock before moving to St. Paul with her husband to raise a family. And she had gotten stories written and published, mostly with Carolrhoda Books. Many of her stories were stories that we heard first in her sunroom. We critiqued them. She listened and sometimes explained to us what she intended. Then she would remember what she had taught us. Your audience is not at your dinner table listening to your story. You don't get a chance to explain the story to your reader. It has got to be clear the very first time.
Emily was also something of a mechanic. She had grown up on a farm in northern Louisiana and knew how to fix all sorts of things. Taking computers apart was nothing for her. Her intimate knowledge of how a farm operated managed to make its way into most of her fiction. So did her meticulous research into history.
I remember her reading from her manuscripts in a soft southern voice that was the voice of a story teller, a grandma who sat around the fire regaling her children and grandchildren with tales of yesteryear from around the world. She wrote a number of very good stories. In my opinion, her best stories are found in a collection, Stories of the Blue Road. She also wrote a story about the New Madrid earthquake that struck in 1811 and 1812. I still remember her telling us how she had combined the research for that story with a trip to Arkansas and Missouri, where she met longtime friends from her journalism days in Little Rock.
I would write a review of that story, but it was not her best work. A number of very good ideas that I remember from the writers' group never made it into the story that was published in 2000. It was the only one of her books that I was able to get. When I read it, I hear Emily reading about a teenaged girl with a harelip who has to cope with the terrible earthquakes that struck her home. I hear Emily reading about a steamship that bypassed New Madrid on its way to Natchez, how the river split and ran in two directions at once, and how a man who had suffered loss asked the hare lipped girl to marry him. When I read the story, I always hear Emily talking, a sound I shall not hear again.
Perhaps the story suffered from the illnesses that plagued Emily in the year 2000. Perhaps that wonderful sense of concentration on bringing more to the reader was going. I do not know, and shall never know. She passed away in that year.
I'm glad I didn't have to say goodbye to her when we left for Israel. I'm glad she didn't live to see the Twin Towers fall in New York. She lived in simpler times. Dare I say this of a woman who had to struggle in the Depression ridden south? Yes. She lived in better times.
If you want to get to know this fine lady a little, listen in your mind to her words, spoken in the musical tones and soft drawl of southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana, as she set the stage for the earthquake that destroyed New Madrid on 16 December, 1811.
"Their blessings were many, but something was terribly wrong. An army of squirrels was leaving, people said, running at such a pace that when one fell, those behind it trampled it to death. Enormous gars, catfish, and turtles had come up from the bottom of the river, and snakes had crawled out of their hibernation holes. Some said the creatures sensed that the comet was about to fall into the Ohio at the point where it flowed into the Mississippi, which would set in motion Earth's final days."

About fluid in the abdomen
This page tells you about fluid in the abdomen (ascites). There is information on
Ascites (pronounced ay-site-eez) is the medical name for a build up of fluid in the abdomen. The abdomen is the area of the body below the ribs and lungs and above the hip bones. It contains many of the body's organs, including the stomach, small and large bowel, pancreas, liver, spleen, and kidneys.
Around the organs of the abdomen there is a sheet of tissue called the peritoneum. It is made up of 2 layers. One layer of the peritoneum lines the wall of the abdomen. The other layer covers the organs in the abdomen. The layers produce a small amount of fluid, so that the organs in the abdomen can move smoothly.
Sometimes fluid builds up between the 2 layers of the peritoneum. This makes the abdomen swell.
There are a number of possible causes of fluid in the abdomen (ascites). It may develop when
- Cancer cells irritate the lining of the abdomen and make it produce too much fluid
- The lymph glands in the abdomen become blocked so that they can't drain fluid out of the abdomen as they usually do
- Areas of cancer in the liver raise the pressure in nearby blood vessels, forcing fluid out of the blood vessels and into the abdominal cavity
- The liver is not working normally – it can't make blood proteins as it should, causing fluid to leak out of the veins and into the abdominal cavity
- The heart is not working normally
A number of conditions can cause fluid in the abdomen, including liver disease, heart disease and cancer. This page is about ascites due to cancer. This is usually a sign that the cancer has spread and is advanced. Cancers that can cause ascites include
The main symptom of fluid in the abdomen is swelling. This often develops over a few weeks but may happen over a few days. Symptoms include
- Clothes feeling tighter, or needing to increase your belt size
- Bloating
- Feeling uncomfortable
- Abdominal pain
- Back pain
- Difficulty sitting comfortably and moving about
- Feeling sick
- Loss of appetite
- Indigestion
- Constipation
- Needing to pass urine often
- Shortness of breath
- Tiredness (fatigue)
Your doctor will examine you and ask you about your symptoms. You will have tests to help find out what is causing the fluid build up in your abdomen. These may include
- An ultrasound scan
- Sampling the fluid from your abdomen to check for cancer cells and infection
- Blood tests to check your general health and how well your liver and kidneys are working
- A CT scan
To take a sample of fluid, your hospital doctor puts a needle into your abdomen using an ultrasound scan to guide them. They use a syringe to draw out some fluid and send it to the laboratory to be examined under a microscope. In the lab, they will look for cancer cells in the fluid.

You're right, Laetitia. Your CH does not look like mine, but I'm not sure yours
is the imposter. I bought both CH and HARVEST OF MEMORIES as named
cvs last year, and they both bloomed this year only one day apart and looking
*very much alike*. They are planted in the same bed within 10' of each other.
The only notable difference between them was the fact that CH bloomed on a
very short stalk hidden down in the fan, while HOM bloomed on a normal
sized stalk.
I'm going to go ahead and post pics of my HOM now, and I sure would
appreciate all the experts who read this list taking a look at my CH (which I
posted a couple days ago), my HOM, and Laetitia's CH. Please help us sort
this out and figure out which is which.

dLife - Inhaled Insulin
Inhaled Insulin: The Facts
In early 2006, Exubera became the first inhaled insulin product cleared for U.S. sale – marking what was arguably the biggest advance in insulin therapy since the drug was first administered to a patient in 1922. A powdered insulin administered through the mouth via an inhaler, Exubera was approved for use in type 1 and type 2 adult patients (i.e., over 18) who take insulin for use at mealtime. But Exubera faced an uphill battle winning widespread physician and consumer adoption, and in October of 2007, manufacturer Pfizer announced that it would pull the product from its portfolio.
Other Products in the Inhaled Insulin Pipeline
There are several other inhaled insulin products and inhaler systems in various stages of product development and/or clinical trials:
Eli Lilly and Co. in partnership with Alkermes, Inc. is developing the the AIR® Inhaled Insulin System (AIR® Insulin System). It is currently in stage 3 of clinicial development and is being studied as treatment for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Kos Pharmaceuticals Inc. – Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) is continuing its inhaled insulin study.
MannKind Corp. – Technosphere Delivery System will be submitting final approval in 2008 for the new inhaled Supra-Rapid Acting insulin. It will be for mealtime insulin delivery for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It is expected to be a first in a new class of medications.

- Counsel's Corner: News From Reed Smith
- Excerpt from: Make–Whole Claim in the Amount of 37% of Loan Balance is Enforced by Delaware Bankruptcy Court:
Good news for lenders. Judge Carey of the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware enforced a make-whole premium equal to 37 percent of the outstanding principal balance on a loan. He determined that, under New York state law, the calculation was not "plainly disproportionate" to the lender's possible loss and was negotiated at arm's length between sophisticated parties. In addition, Judge Carey held that a make-whole claim was not equivalent to "unmatured interest," which is unauthorized under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, but instead was a claim for liquidated damages. This is an important and favorable decision for lenders, especially in the current low interest rate environment. The case is In re School Specialty, Inc., No. 13-10152 (Bankr. D. Del. April 22, 2013).

Some of them are selling their own in house ads, but plenty are straight up MFA sites with zero content. One site profiled in the article <snip> has serious Adsense TOS violations. They have snipped up the Adsense code to display a column of 10 Adsense ads. The guy who runs the site is standing there with his picture in Business 2.0, raking cash by abusing Adsense and taking money that should go to real content providers.
What say you ASA?

If your sites generate more than 750,000 page views per month, AdSense for domains is for you
check the link below
there are 12699 parked domains there, are you believe if any of that [stupid] domain names can have 750,000 page views/monthly

I can't see much of a future in a company thats business model is based on spam and fraud.
Follow it through and you can find what appear to be AdSense ads for escorts and all sorts of other "entertainment"
Any chance we'll be seeing AdSense on adult sites anytime soon? Could be a great money maker for them.

The problem I see with type-in traffis is the domain landers - the pages that appear in your browser upon hitting "go" next to the browser address box - are not being appropriately optimized for the keyword or keyword phrase imbedded in the domain.
If my domain is LocationHotel.tld I would hope that the lander would function like this:
A - If it's a single click lander (you type in the domain/URL) the browser loads a page populated with 10+/- paid website links, hopefully with understandable verbiage associated with each link. A single click on any of the displayed links leads the "direct navigator / type-in navigator" to your advertised hotel information or hotel registration site.
Concrete example: MiamiHotels.tld (not mine). Someone looking for hotels in Miami types in MiamiHotels.tld. That's likely someone very focused on finding a hotel in Miami. They might not register a room on the spot, but chances are pretty good that they're in the hunt. Just like any other click - AdWords or SERPs - they might just be looking.
IF the lander that appears in the browser is nicely populated with links to Miami hotel sites then you have your best shot at a visitor conversion:
Concrete example of good link on lander: "LinkToHotelWebsite - Lowest rates of the season for XYZ hotel in the heart of Miami on the beach".
2 Click landers are a different matter.
Example of 2 click lander: Person types in MiamiHotels.tld.
FIRST PAGE LANDER: Loaded with off topic links: "Free Music Downloads" "Mortgage Refinancing" Etc. AND MAYBE 1 or 2 links to hotels in general. I've seen many such landers. I'm certain they're less productive of conversions. THE ESSENSE of domain landers working is that they should have relevant, directly on domain topic links.
Here's the rub: Not all PPC domain monetization firms do it well. Some are better than others. The industry is actually getting better, but they appear to advance in jerky motions. The firm I'm not using is playing with their landers. It's a debacle: The links are on topic (I hand optimize the lander for links that are relevant) BUT the images and the "generic verbiage" they are playing with are totally off topic. Still, one can only hope that the direct navigator will focus on the on topic first tier links and will click through to the related ad feeds.
Domain PPC, like any other form of PPC, provides an opportunity for fraud. Frankly, a domain PPC firms that accepts all manner of domains, such as typos of trademarks and the like, is opening the doors to corruption. What do I mean?
Well, the person who has no qualms about making money off of typos of other peoples trademarks - or websites - might not have qualms about using click bots or having his/her friends click a few links every day or hour. It's all a matter of conscience.
Click fraud is a serious issue. There's a lot that needs to be addressed. The "take all comers" approach to domains - or AdSense membership - isn't the best approach IMHO. However, I believe in the underlying intelligence of the system - be it domain parking or AdSense - in that they are designed to work and do actually work. Google and others are in the hunt for good domain portfolio providers for good reason. The conversion stats are pretty good.
The real issue is the people participating in the programs. Are they focused only on making money for themselves or are the equally focused on helping the advertiser? Win-win is pretty good stuff when you can make it happen.
Believe or not - in October/November 2005 - the PPC feed providers did the same thing with the domain parking services that they've been working on with AdSense and "smart pricing": They upgraded or downgraded the domainer's revenue payout based upon the indicia of domain quality and domain conversion data.
I'm a happy little camper, pleased to report that I got a gold * on my domain ROI report card. Success, however, isn't quite the same without a hug from mom, her pat on my head and her making me a chicken salad sandwich as a reward. :) I work extra hard to hugs, head pats and chicken salad sandwiches.
You listening AdSenseAdvisor? Chicken salaaadddd . . .
[edited by: Webwork at 12:31 am (utc) on Jan. 5, 2006]
I can imagine a time when all versions of PPC will allow for greater advertiser control/selectiveness - in choosing quality websites for contextual advertising and quality domains for PPC on domain landers.
You see, I'm inclined to believe that a more selective system will be good for you (higher ROI for the advertiser) and for me (higher payouts for quality domains and domain related quality websites. :)
While the operation that I outlined in the Adwords forum here (see link 2 posts above) seems clearly against the Adsense TOS, you can do essentially the same thing using Google's parking program.
The only real differences are:
- No nonsense phrases on the official program - only keywords and ads.
- No crosslinking between sites in the official program
- Official Google program vs. do-it-yourself
The ultimate insult to Adwords advertisers is that some of the sites in the Google parking program are classified as "search". (You got keywords? You got ads? You got a Google search box? You got a "search site"!) And they get thrown in to "Search Network", which they've convinced many advertisers is safe ground.
I'm probably going to pull-back to Google Search only, until/unless Google gives me the ability to remove parking sites from so-called "search network".
I do want the AOL, Ask Jeves, etc. traffic. Don't want parked domains.
Search : impressions on search results pages generated by Google and by Google Network search partners.(Includes AOL, Earthlink, Ask etc)
Content: impressions on content sites in the Google Network. On these sites, your ads are displayed alongside content relevant to your keywords.
ParkedPages: Impression on Parked pages.
Each Type should have their own maximum bid and the advertisers can choose to opt out of any these categories.
