I know that I'm working on my Saga, but this is something I've had the idea for for a long time. I don't need as many main characters here, but LOTS of minor characters. Ones that I'm looking for are:
- A space Redwall version of Michael Jackson.
- A group of hypnotic bounty hunters (The leader has already been taken care of).
- Members of the Galactic Republic's Special Forces.
- Other Galactic military members.
- Other random people.
Alright, the story line starts off much like Ep. IV of Star Wars, but the main story won't be much like that.
I do need a main character (No big amount of equipment please) from a desert planet (male please) (He is already taken care of) whose parents are murdered by pirates, and he meets up with a pilot and former member of the Republic's Special Forces, Thornclaw Braveheart's descendant Rukh. Then, the two go to the planet's only spaceport, where they meet two pilots (One of them is taken care of, and we need his assistant), and travel throughout the galaxy in search of adventure and stuff like that.

Clothing: Darth Vader's Sith armour
Age: 56 seasons, but his life-support system keeps him virtually ageless.
Notes:vHe's Hypnotic,But Never Uses Hypnotism [Thorn's Note: Maybe he doesn't know how! :)].

Original method of Transportation: A small, private spaceship with the Salamandastron Coat of Arms on the side.
Preferred death: Fighting enemies without any allies around
Galactic Nations
Galactic Republic
Origin: Founded on the planet Mossflower by the Woodlander species. The center of government was Redwall Abbey, but after the Great Ungoli War, Mossflower was destroyed. Luckily, many of the major landmarks, including Redwall and Salamandastron, were literally dug out of the earth and transported in starships to a planet very similar, New Mossflower. During the trip through space, the landmarks and buildings mysteriously got larger.
Government: Galactic Congress, New Mossflower
Ruler: President Bernard Mardok (Squirrel)
Military: Governor's Guard (GG), Galactic Army (GA), Galactic Navy (GN), GRSF (Galactic Republic Special Forces), Galactic Police (GP)
Administration: Each planet of the Republic apart from New Mossflower has a Governor, protected by a division of the GG. Every Governor also has a Senator who reports directly to the Galactic Congress. Each planet is divided into 5 Districts, each controlled by an Administrator, who reports directly to the Governor. Also in each District there is one member of the GRSF.
Currency: Credits
Capital: Redwall Abbey, New Mossflower
Empire of the Marman Rim
Origin: Five years after New Mossflower became the capital of the Galactic Republic, a large mining colony in a mysterious rim of the Galaxy, situated around the star sytem Marma, rebelled against the Republic. After a 24-year long war (Now called War of Marman Independence), the Marman Rim declared itself free from the Republic.
Government: Imperial Council, Marma I
Ruler: Emperor Palaigos (Marman)
Military: Marman Army (MA), Marman Navy (MN), Marman Exterminators (ME)
Administration: As a military dictatorship, all government officials of the Marman Empire report directly to the Emperor. Each planet of the Empire has a Tyrant who rules with an iron fist, and is backed by a squad of Marman Exterminators. Also, the Emperor has the right to sent troops to destroy any rebels on any planet in the Empire without a vote from the Imperial Council.
Currency: Zar
Capital: Imperial Temple, Gelibolu
Genesis Droid Company
Origin: The Genesi of the planet Genesis built droids, and were one of the leading droid creation companies in the Galactic Republic. However, they wished for their own privacy, as all droid companies that manufacture combat droids have to be monitored by a squad of the GRSF. The Viceroy of the Company at the time, Eno Ikinna, brought the case to the Galactic Congress. After a year of debates, the Genesis Droid Company was given virtual independence; they could continue to manufacture droids without the monitoring of the GRSF, and without having to pay the yearly taxes to the Republic for ownership of the planet. Still, they were legally a part of the Republic, but independent in any way but the name.
Government: Genesis Droid Co. Board of Directors, Genesis
Ruler: Viceroy Qiorp Wneffe (Genesi)
Military: Genesis Sentry Droids (GSD)
Administration: The Viceroy is in charge of the Genesis Co. and has several Directors who monitor and are in control of different sectors that provide different parts to the Genesis Droids. Genesis Sentry Droids provide security, as many times before, criminals have tried to break into the factory.
Currency: Genesi Credit
Capital: Viceroy's Mansion, Genesis

On this adventure, we take you where the action is - past outstanding colonial architecture, among friendly locals, close to exotic marine life and into ancient rainforests. Amble along forest walks, haggle in some of Asia's best markets, discover perfect beachside paradise and make friends with welcoming locals. This trip introduces the best of Malaysia and gives an inside glimpse to this fascinating country.
Adventure through the lush Taman Negara National Park, where your local guide will explain traditional medicines made from the plants
Snorkel the turquoise seas around the Perhentian Islands, a paradise of unspoiled forests and white sands

Pedal out to the rice fields around Kota Aur and learn all about how local coconuts are harvested
With quality time in each destination, you'll get a real feel for each place and the freedom to make your own discoveries
There are some long days of travel by public bus. You will be pleased to know that public buses in Malaysia are quite comfortable. Stock up on snacks and drinks ready for the journeys.

The conditions on your homestay will be more basic than in other places. Bathroom facilities are shared, and some will only have cold showers. However, the experience with a local family is a real highlight.
The climate in Malaysia is generally hot and humid, so be prepared for some balmy days no matter when you visit. It tends to be wetter and more humid from May to October, but the temperature remains fairly constant throughout the year.

Review submitted 24 Jul 2017
Intrepid is a great way to travel ! We didn't have to organise accommodation or activities and could leave these arrangements in the hands of the experts. We had a lot of fun exploring Malaysia, trying new foods and learning about the country's culture.

Advanced Strategy (CEMS6003)
This unit of study involves all essential aspects of global strategic management. It includes a strong emphasis on the application of theory. Students are expected to bring a prior understanding of the theoretical material to class to be prepared to discuss the boundaries of theories as well the limits to their application in certain business contexts. The unit is built around four broad strategic issues facing international business managers; (1) Whether to diversify the organization¿s activities across different countries and/or regions? (2) Where (in which specific geographic markets) should the organization compete? A geographic market can be conceptualized as a collection of buyers and sellers doing business in a specific geographic location. (3) What form(s) should the organization¿s international business activities take? and (4) When should the organization enter or exit a given geographic market? The unit explores each of these four broad issues and how, although relevant also for managers in domestic businesses, they are particularly important in the context of international business.

The Essence Festival will call New Orleans home for five more years.
Although Essence Communications, which owns the festival, and Mayor Mitch Landrieu's office have not made an official announcement about the commitment, the City Council voted Thursday to authorize the mayor to sign an "event support agreement" between the city and Essence Festival Productions. The agreement commits the city to pay certain fees and provide security services during the festival through 2019.
"This is good news for us," Landrieu aide Eric Granderson told the council. "Essence has agreed to extend their participation in having New Orleans as a host city for the next five years."
Essence's previous agreement with the city, a four-year renewal, expired this year. Under that deal, Essence received $1 million, a mix of cash and in-kind services, each year from the city and various agencies including the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism. The money is used to pay for police, fire and sanitation services during the festival as well as marketing and production.
Details of the new agreement weren't available Thursday.
The Essence Festival has been held in New Orleans since its debut in 1995. In that time, it was held outside the city only once, in 2006, when it shifted to Houston following Hurricane Katrina.
The four-day music and empowerment festival usually takes place over the July 4 holiday weekend, with events occurring primarily at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
The 20th anniversary festival this year, which featured more than 80 musical performances including a sold-out show by Prince, drew record attendance of more than 550,000.
At the end of the 2014 festival, the city and Essence had not yet reached a new contract, but Essence officials made clear they intended to keep the festival in the city.
"This is our home and Essence is better because it's held in New Orleans and in this state," Essence Communications President Michelle Ebanks said in July. "We're working through the (contract renewal) process, and once we work through all the details, we'll let you know the outcome."
Essence is considered a bright spot for the city's tourism industry, which slows down tremendously during the summer.
"The Essence Festival has been key in turning summertime in New Orleans into a much sought-after time to visit our city," said Mark Romig, president and chief executive officer of the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corp.
"We commend the mayor and the City Council as well as our industry partners for taking this step to help solidify Essence's presence for years to come."

davis31 replied to davis31's topic in Graphics and GPU Programming[quote name='Hodgman' timestamp='1345119059' post='4970122'] There's some tricks you could do in DX10/11 for this, but I don't know of any in DX9. The only hack I can think of is: If you can guarantee that you've got no overdraw ([i]two triangles covering the same pixel[/i]), which you can if you're doing a z-pre-pass, then you can render with additive blending and output black when you don't want to write data. [/quote] Yes, I had the same idea, but I'm not doing a z-pre-pass right now and I don't know if it would be too expensive. In any case, I'm pretty sure this solution would work, but I'll leave it as the last option [quote name='DJTN' timestamp='1345118997' post='4970121'] If you're using a pixel shader, you can create another technique that doesn't use the clip funtion and use it for those RTs. Rememeber that clip doesn't return anything for that pixel, nor does it write any information to the back buffer or depth buffer. On newer graphic cards it stops the execution entirely. [/quote] That would work. But is it possible to use different techniques, for the different RT when using MRT?? If it is possible, could you give an example or a resource explaining how to do that? I've not been able to find any :S
davis31 posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHello, a few days ago I introduced Multiple Render Targets (MRT) to my render. In the previous implementation I used the clip() HLSL function to perform alpha testing in my pixel shader. The problem is that now, when using MRT I want to use the clip on the first render target but not on the other ones. If I use the clip function it clips not only the first render target but also the other ones. Is there any way to specify which render targets should be clipped and which not? Or is there a way to specify "not drawing" as the return color of an specific render target? I'm using DirectX9. Thank you in advance, David
davis31 replied to davis31's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingOk, so I think I've enough information. I'll have to think what to do but I think maybe doing something less specific would be a better solution. I'm thinking about something related with Networks or maybe AI. It is not a problem if the campus is in the USA because I'll only take it if I get a grant that will cover everything (or almost everything). Let's hope I'm lucky :D Thank you all for your opinions and your advice! I still have some time to decide so let's see what happens!
davis31 replied to davis31's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingOk, let's clarify some things. First of all, answering to snake5 and also frob I would like to say that definitely NO! I've been playing games my whole life, enjoyed them and in the last years also programming them. So that won't be only a job but a dream I'd like to come true. Moreover I'm not really a fan of Mega-Enterprises games. I prefer indie and original games. You're really making me doubt! On the one hand I really like this Universities (FIEA looks so cool!) but on the other hand I don't want to close doors... I'd really apreciate more opinions about that! I've also seen that some of you talk about spending four years but what I'm searching is something specific of one or two years... maybe the Master concept in Spain is not exactly the same as in the USA. I hope that helps a little, thank you for your help!
davis31 posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingHello everybody! I'm a student of last year of Computer Sciences from Spain. Now I find myself deciding what to do in the future and after some thinking I've decided to take a Master Degree in Videogame Programming (or Developing or Designing or whatever they want to call it). There are some Masters in Spain but here game developing is still not so important and I think doing my Master in Spain wouldn't be the best idea. I'm telling this without knowing too much so maybe that's not true but that's what I think... So, I would like to know which Universities (not only in Europe but around the World) do you think that offer good Masters in Videogames. Thank you in advance!

Remi's comment about reading the camera manual sounds very familiar to me!
What a magical experience to have this wonderful village to yourselves. I, like you, do not photoshop my photos, but the accidental hues of your images give the stone work an inviting warmth in a very cold winter. Bisous.

I love them! They have that look of sunset when there's that reddish light in the air.
Just love them!

Coming from you that is a mighty fine compliment, I'll take it and merci...

magic. thank you.
- January 21, 2013 at 9:27 PM
- Lost in Provence said...
Bisous to you too EE! I miss hearing more from you and am hoping all is well, including with your French Folly. I must say that I do the basics of photoshop on my photos but only to give them the air of what they looked like when I took them. Plus, I have had an amazing teacher in Remi so there is no need to guess or exaggerate...
- January 21, 2013 at 9:29 PM
- Lost in Provence said...
Well, that is exactly what it was! But somehow that mysterious button made it more so... :)

Orange is a "warm" color yet somehow I can still feel the cold. What a treat to have the place to yourselves. Now the trick really is to figure out that button, so you can replicate this effect at will!
- January 21, 2013 at 9:45 PM
- Loree said...
The colours are beautiful. They remind me of the colour of the buildings at sunset in my part of the world. BTW I read your previous post but have been unwell so I didn't comment. I wanted to say that it's a shame that your photos didn't get published but that you still take beautiful photos and just to have someone interested in them must already have felt like a reward.

You captured Les Baux in a different light, in more way than one,
meaning unlike the usual post cards.

Funny, I was just reminding my daughter at bedtime tonight about our October visit to Les Baux. It was quietish when we were there, but you must have been able to hear the ghosts on this day. You're photos are lovely. Did you ever figure out which button you pressed?!
- January 21, 2013 at 10:26 PM
- Linda Leyble said...
So beautiful Heather - who needs Photoshop in Provence???
I had to laugh when I read that you wouldn't ask Remi about how to remedy it - and what his reply would have been to you about reading the books he gave you!! That's my husband! He's given me books about my camera - and I know I should look at them every now and again - but there's a big part of me that loves to make mistakes and then learn by them (and sometimes my mistakes - like your orange crush - make the pictures even better!).
Great post!
- January 21, 2013 at 10:41 PM
- Barbara Lilian said...
What wonderful pictures, I wish I could find a button on my camera to make a mistake & produce such great pictures as yours.

The golden glow befits such emotional stones - honours them almost. Sometimes, things are just meant to be, it seems. And I'm sure Henrietta would have seen them with a golden glow anyway! xx

Oh my gosh that last photo you took is positively breath taking. I love all the architectural photos as well. I am pinning away. You are so lucky to be surrounded by such beauty!!

Beautiful as always, Heather! Love the rose tint. Very evocative! It looks very quiet, almost like a ghost town! Did you feel that you had to whisper, as you tip toed through the town? Cheers, Deborah - Melbourne.

Hello Heather:
Gosh, the pinky tinge is really beautiful and makes everything bask in a comforting glow. It is rather like being in front of a fire burning brightly! And, how perfectly lovely to have had the place to yourselves, that makes it so very enchanting.You really have captured something very special here, dearest Heather and, of course, you describe it so cleverly too.
- January 22, 2013 at 9:44 AM
- mademoisella coquine. said...
I'm so with you on keeping the photo enhancing to an absolute minimum. We ARE old-school..blame it on our generation ; ) !
My camera acts up from time to time and I understand how frustrating it as you click every button and turn the dial ferociously to get the settings back to "normal". I think in your case, your camera's little temper tantrum worked out quiet well. The pictures are beautiful. It's as if a golden sunrise is reflecting off of the buildings which makes them really warm and as Jane and Lance said above, comforting.
- January 22, 2013 at 11:43 AM

Heather you live in such a stunning area of our wonderful world. I think your photos are perfect and I hope your visitor had as much fun as I did seeing them.

Thank you so much everyone! I am out of town assisting Remi on a photo shoot so I hope you will pardon my not responding individually to so much kindness. :)

Oh, Heather....I know exactly what you're talking about, regarding this business of your French partner's asking "Well, didn't you read THE MANUAL??". the last time I was akseed this, I took advantage of my enterprisingly graceful grasp of both languages and replied "Non, Herve....je n'ai pas lu le F***ing 'manual'....got any more smartass questions, Buddy????"
In my particular case, I have a perfectly fine excuse for not doing so. the dang thing is in FRENCH (so, once again and after having been certified as "fluent" long ago while finishing a doctorate), I can't deal with it. The same goes for conversations with French plumbers, electricians, and any number of professionals with specialized vocabularies. I should emphasize that I CAN, indeed, carry on for hours with French Deconstructionists, but that's "where", so to speak, I learned the language. Not that I spend a lot of time with literary crtics in France, these days.
Personally?....I like your orange and sepia. I wouldn't change a thing.
As for my all-too expensive and dauntingly complex new camera? The French in-laws gave it to me last year. Madame Paris (I know....an overwritten script, but this is true) is their superannuated, 87 year old housekeeper, whom they can't fire or retire. They all refer to her as "The Bionic Nanny" (she did, intially, work as the nanny for Herve and his brother, 35 years ago). Having cannily taken advantage of the French health system, she's had both hips, both corneas, both shoulders, and one knee replaced. She rides a BIKE to the house twice per week.....and the distance is at least a mile.
They can't pay her in cash, since this would interfere with her pension or something. So?.....Madame Paris spends her days wandering through various rooms and making statements (to no one in particular) such as "I saw a pale blue cashmere sweater in the window of ______ store on ____ street. That would look so attractive on my oldest daughter-in-law. Her birthday is next week...she loves pale blue, don't you?".....and Herve's mother agrees that pale-blue is a lovely hue, and she resignedly makes a point of going out to buy the dang thing and leaving it somewhere VERY OBVIOUS in the house. This game goes on all the time. Madame Paris never has to buy presents for either of her sons, their wives, or her many grandchildren. the arrangement suits everyone just fine and is, apparently, perfectly legal. (to be continued).....
- January 22, 2013 at 3:35 PM
- david terry said...
(continued) A year ago, however?.....Madame Paris apparently came in one day, saw the very expensive camera on the dining room table (the dining room has huge expanses of french-doors at either end), decided that "thieves might come in and steal it!"......and she put it away. For some reason, she "put it away" in the back of a linen closet on the second floor. Go figure....
Herve's parents duly filed an insurance claim, got the cash, bought an even more expensive camera with the proceeds....and then found the first camera. They were so horrified at the prospect of trying to explain this (and their "arrangement" with Madame Paris)that they simply gave the damning evidence to low-tech me when I was there last Christmas, telling me to wrap it securely and put it in my suitcase NOW...."
So, I now have this very expensive and somewhat frightening (I'm very clumsy and fumble-fingered) camera on my hands, along with its thick book of French instructions. Thus far, I've taken a few pictures of the dogs with it, but I generally avoid it (although it sits incriminatingly on my kitchen table).
Just for the record?....no one's ever told Madame Paris about this entire debacle. I probably should emphasize that, for my very proper in-laws (a professor of 17th century literature and a physicist), this has been, indeed, a "Debacle!".
I grew up (and, for that matter, still live) in the South and thought I knew all about "complicated" arrangements and dealings between employers and any number of inherited old-folks who work as household "help"......but this mincey French business takes the cake, as far as I'm concerned.
amusedly yours as ever,
david Terry

I can only say that it is too bad Heather doesn't go on Facebook. If she did, she would see the many wonderful photos that you post, David. The last one was a study of white on white as in Westies on snow.
And I never read the manual either -- something my engineer husband does first thing whenever he gets any new equipment.
- January 22, 2013 at 9:32 PM
- david terry said...
Hey Miss Judith,
I guess youknow that Herve is an epidemiologist. I do know that he does all sorts of wonderful things for the WHO and the CDC, but I cn also attest that he is not worth beans when it comes to EXPLAINING complicated things.
Good luck to both of us, I suppose, and our scientifically-minded spouses....
I do take a lot of photographs, but I do it with the small, comprehensible Olympus that Herve regards as too "limited".
"Limited" suits my style (and technological capacities) just fine.

I do remember seeing a home with wiring that would adapt to central control. There were banks of power relays in the basement, and thermostat wire led to switches upstairs.

India are moving closer to accepting the use of technology in cricket and adopting the same position as the rest of their principal competitors.
The Decision Review System — the process that allows teams to ask for an umpire's decision to be checked on television replays — is absent from this series because India still do not trust it sufficiently to embrace it.
England required six wickets for victory at the start of play today, with India needing 333 more runs to complete a world-record chase and take a 2-0 lead in the Investec Series with only two matches to play.
Memorable Test matches between England and India
Memorable Test matches between England and India
1/7 1971 - The Oval
For the first time ever, India won a Test match on English soil. Fans surged onto the pitch in celebration before the winning shot had even crossed the boundary.
2/7 1976 - Delhi
Captain Tony Greig masterminded England's first victory in India since the Second World War. It remains one of England's greatest performances against the Indians.
3/7 1980 - Mumbai
Ian Botham stole the show in a one-off Test in Mumbai, taking 6 for 58 and 7 for 48, as well as adding 114 with the bat.
4/7 1993 - Mumbai
After a strong first innings of the third Test of England's 1992-93 tour of India, The hosts hit back with force. Vinod Kambli's 224 went a long way to helping India claim the Test by an innings and 15 runs, completing a 3-0 series whitewash.
5/7 2007 - Trent Bridge
After staving off defeat in the first Test at Lord's on the final day, India turned up at Trent Bridge and produced one of their finest performances on English soil. Sachin Tendulkar top-scored with 91 as the tourists posted 481 to wrestle control of the match in their first innings. The Indians eventually won the Test by seven wickets on the final day. The result would prove decisive as India went on to win the three-match series.
6/7 2008 - Chennai
Tendulkar was again the hero as India successfully chased a monumental target to win by six wickets. The little master hit 103 not out as the hosts chalked up the 387 runs needed for victory. It remains the highest fourth-innings Test total ever recorded in Chennai and ranks among the highest successful fourth-innings chases ever.
7/7 2011 - Edgbaston
Alastair Cook hit 294 as England made 710 - 7 declared - their third-highest Test total ever. Big knocks from Andrew Strauss and Eoin Morgan also helped the cause after the hosts had bowled out the Indians for just 224. England eventually won by an innings and 242 runs before Tea on day four.
Both sides were hoping for no nasty surprises from umpires Rod Tucker and Marais Erasmus on the final day, yet there have been mistakes in this match, notably against England batsman Gary Ballance.
He was given out wrongly in both innings and he will not be the only one mystified at why India continue to resist DRS, especially when statistics say that it has led to more correct decisions than were made before its introduction.
Their stance differs from that of every other major side in world cricket. While India's intransigence frustrates most of their rivals, their power and influence are such that it would be virtually impossible to make them conform.
Yet Rahul Dravid, one of the greatest batsmen the country has produced, is confident India will accept DRS sooner rather than later.
"They're getting there," he said. "I have a feeling there have been some discussions around the DRS. It is more to do with the predictive element [used for lbw appeals] and whether that is 100 per cent accurate. I hope at some stage that India will explore that avenue, hopefully as soon as possible. I know things have changed, with regard to technology.
"We are moving with the times and we need to try to embrace it to get as many correct decisions as possible. I think we're getting there slowly. India are warming to the task, at least I think they are."
Traditionalists — of which there are a significant number in India, according to Dravid — believe the umpire's decision should be sacrosanct and that its arrival has removed some of the charms from the game.
Opponents point out that the game is far more professional today. For this lobby, it is unacceptable to have the result of a Test determined by the wrong call of an umpire. DRS was brought in to eradicate the umpiring howler — which is precisely what it does. With DRS, Ajinkya Rahane would have survived when he was given out in the second innings at Lord's, even though the ball had bounced off his arm guard. With DRS, Ballance would have been reprieved twice.
And with DRS, Shikhar Dhawan would have fallen cheaply for the second time in the match when he was plumb lbw to Moeen Ali on the fourth afternoon.
"I have not always been confident with the way the predictive part has worked but if it does improve decision making then it's worth a try," Dravid told BBC Test Match Special. "It's worth going down that route.
"I hope some more research is done to verify what the accuracy of the predictive path is. The Indians have a phlegmatic view and they take it [wrong decisions] as part and parcel of the game. Rahane got a bad decision at Lord's that could have been crucial had India not gone on to win the game but there was no rancour or bitterness. They see it as part of the game and how the game has always been played."
India's financial muscle places rival boards in a difficult position. As much as they might want cricket's most powerful country to accept DRS, they cannot play hard ball. India would always have the option of cancelling tours or series, leaving their opponents without the guarantee TV revenue.
Cash-strapped boards feel unable to take that risk, so the uncomfortable status quo remains.
As part of the controversial recent reforms to the way world cricket is governed, the England and Wales Cricket Board have strengthened their ties with their Indian counterparts. If they can persuade them to adopt DRS, it would be a far more significant result than whatever Alastair Cook's team can produce in the remainder of this series.Reuse content

Evaluating the impact of computerized decision support on racial/ethnic disparities in hypertension outcomes
The Foundation's initiative, Finding Answers: Disparities Research for Change, was designed to use research and evaluation to test hypothetical solutions for reducing racial and ethnic disparities in health care settings and actual disparity reduction outcomes in ongoing programs.This project will evaluate the effectiveness of a planned computerized decision support (CDS) intervention aimed at medical providers to overcome clinical inertia when treating blood pressure for hypertensive patients. The investigators of this study hypothesize that racial and ethnic differences in blood pressure outcomes are largely attributable to differences in providers' aggressiveness in managing patients with hypertension based on patients' race and ethnicity. This study will test if the use of CDS to remind medical providers of poorly controlled hypertensive patients to intensify their hypertension therapy will improve overall rates of blood pressure control and reduce the previously documented racial and ethnic disparities in blood pressure outcomes among the hypertensive patient population.

Remember when your office got a new coffee pod machine?
There was a bounce to everyone's step, a twinkle in the MD's eye, a sense of purpose as the team united in a caffeinated high.
Just imagine how ruddy brilliant your nine-to-five would be if you moved into Google's new digs at 6 Pancras Square, King's Cross, London.
With 800 engineers moving in this week, followed by a larger shift of 2,000 employees over the next year, here's what Google's workers will be surrounded by.

Day in and day out, the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government is on the front lines, supporting the public's right to know. FOG has been educating, advocating and litigating for transparency and accountability in our government for almost 25 years.
Compiled by The Associated Press
The Plattsburgh Press-Republican, of Albany, NY, on new college campus policies on consenting to sexual encounters (Dec. 6):
Maybe this will help. At least it's a step in the right direction.
For decades, college students had a wink and a nod governing their sexual conduct on and off campus. If the woman didn't scream too loudly, convention said, it must have meant she approved of the groping male's efforts.
A number of years ago, when our oldest son, Stan Adam, moved from Seattle to Denmark to find his way with Microsoft, that created an opportunity for us to travel long distances to visit him.
Editor's note: The original version of this column first ran in New Mexico newspapers last year. It's been updated with more recent developments.
Perhaps you missed Popular Science's article, "The 25 Best Nerd Road Trips," which included three stops right here in New Mexico.
The political punditry in the aftermath of the recent elections has focused on the inevitable political maneuvering while missing an essential point: citizens are tired of the bickering and rhetoric and are desperate for real solutions to real problems.
The Kansas City Star on national defense (Nov. 30):
Between Thanksgiving and events in Ferguson, Americans might have missed the rhetorical gymnastics on display after Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced his resignation.
The White House and congressional Republicans flipped and flopped, jockeying for partisan cover and gain. Meanwhile, America's ability to engage on an increasingly complex and chaotic international stage is compromised.
An item I read years ago in Readers Digest concerned the pin-dot community of Costilla, on the New Mexico-Colorado border. Apparently, in the olden days, maps weren't as precise as they are today, as we lacked satellites. There was a perennial discussion as to which state Costilla belonged to: New Mexico or Colorado?
Seems you can't even talk about the weather without stirring up some politics these days.

About one in three business owners say they use their own funds or personal credit for their business, according to a recent Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business Index survey. Yet as a business seeks to grow, obtaining business credit is essential and can help finance purchases, build a credit history, supplement cash flow and preserve savings.
The Portland (Maine) Press Herald on "social pressuring," (Nov. 18):
Americans treasure free speech and the ability to share their opinions, but we understand that our vote is private. When we step up to fill in our ballot, sometimes behind a red, white and blue curtain, we do so knowing that our choice is ours alone, and who we voted for is nobody's business unless we want to tell them.

Airline legroom battles escalate: Quick! Who has more legroom … discount carriers or the traditional legacy carriers? If you answered discounters, you are correct. "Struggling higher cost airlines have cut their service so deeply that low-fare carriers offer superior service such as in-flight entertainment and leather seats," writes Scott McCartney, The Middle Seat columnist for The Wall Street Journal (subscription required). He continues: "The turnabout now extends to legroom, as discounters like JetBlue Airways and Southwest Airlines offer more than the older airlines." Indeed, as many of the legacy carriers put seats back into planes to try to staunch losses, the legroom edge has tilted to the discounters. Who has the most in economy class? United's "Economy Plus" is the tops, McCartney reports, though that seating section is generally reserved for full-fare paying customers or the airlines elite-level frequent fliers. Economy Plus features a 36-inch "seat pitch," or the measure of the distance from one point on the seat to the same point on the seat in front of it. Following United's Economy Plus, however, were a long list of non-traditional carriers: JetBlue, Delta's Song, Frontier, Midwest and Southwest. At the bottom of McCartney's list? Northwest, whose seat-pitch on its DC9-30 jets is just 30 inches. And, of course, there was last month's legroom brouhaha between United and American, in which United launched a whole ad campaign targeting AA's seating space. Posted 8 a.m.
What should you do when flying goes "wrong?" If you travel regularly, you know that it's not an "if" but a "when" as to whether something will go wrong with your flight. What do you do when that happens? The Chicago Tribune (free registration) takes a look at the issue, offering advice that is not new � but explains some of the golden rules of what to do (and what not to do) when your travel plans go amiss. First, take a breath and calm down. Says the Tribune: "Too often travelers go ballistic at an airline check-in counter when they don't get their expected upgrade or learn that their flight has been canceled. Screaming at the bearer of bad news will get you nowhere. A calm approach can elicit help from the agent." But what if you aren't able to get what you're hoping for? Make sure to get names and details of what went wrong and who helped you (or did not) during your encounter. You may not be able to undo what's been done, but these details will help should you decide to later plead with your airline for reimbursement or other compensation. Posted 8 a.m.
It's not only in the USA where they take bomb jokes seriously: A 20-year-old British soldier was arrested Saturday at England's Manchester Airport after he made a joke at the check-in counter about having a bomb in his bag, according to Ireland Online. "The man was arrested in the check-in hall at Terminal Three, intending to travel to Germany where he is a serving soldier, when he stated that he had a bomb in his bag," said a Manchester police spokesman. The man was released on bail. British Airways confirmed that the solider had been booked on Flight 1682 from Manchester to Dusseldorf. "We advise members of the public not to make comments like that because we do take these matters very seriously," said a BA spokeswoman. According to the Manchester Evening News, the man joked to the check-in agent: ""Take care of that. It's got a bomb in it." Posted 8 a.m.
United looks to Asia: United plans to shift flights from domestic routes to Asian destinations as rapid economic growth there fuels passenger demand, CEO Glenn Tilton said Friday, Reuters/Airwise reports. "In particular, we see great opportunities for United in the Asia Pacific market," Tilton said. "As the middle class and their disposable income continues to grow in Asia, more and more people in this market are traveling to the United States." United and other major carriers have increasingly begun looking at overseas flights as a money-making refuge from the domestic market, where competition from low-cost rivals has sent fares — and profits — plummeting. United officials say air traffic from China to the USA grew by 15% in 2004, with another 10% increase expected this year, according to the Rocky Mountain News. Posted 10:30 a.m.
Georgia throws a bone to Delta: The Georgia state government gave Delta Air Lines a break last week when it voted to cap state fuel sales tax for the Atlanta-based carrier. The legislature also eliminated the sales tax for food and nonalcoholic beverages sold in flight, reports The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (free registration). The bill, which takes effect July 1 and runs through 2007, will cap state fuel taxes at $15 million, about $7 million less than the carrier paid in 2004. The airline will save an additional $3 million annually from the elimination of meal and beverage taxes. Other carriers are eligible for the fuel caps, but none are expected to spend enough in the state to qualify. Posted 10:30 a.m.
Continental's 787 plans remain intact:Despite uncertain contract negotiations with flight attendants, Continental will push ahead with plans to buy 10 of Boeing's new 787 "Dreamliner" planes starting in 2009, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports. The nation's No. 5 carrier also said it plans to boost its fleet this summer by leasing eight Boeing 757-300s and speeding up the delivery of six Boeing 737-800s into 2006.Posted 10:40 a.m.

Nine Tournaments with Even More Madness
John McGraw was known as an egomaniac who loved to cheat, but his natural sneakiness almost made our nation a better place. While managing the Baltimore Orioles, he took it upon himself to integrate the bigs... by presenting African-American Charles Grant as Cherokee Charlie Tokohama (while Native Americans were second-class citizens, at least they were allowed play). McGraw and Grant went on to win titles, but not together as Grant was ousted before he could reach the majors.
Every Pop Warner kid should know that Fritz Pollard and Bobby Marshall became the first two black pro football players in 1920, but a year later Pollard became the NFL's first black coach. The league's second black coach was soon to follow — a mere sixty-eight years later. And even then poor Art Shell had to work for frickin' Al Davis.

The following table is a guide to the principal political parties and coalitions of the world. All countries that were independent on Dec. 31, 1998, are included, except the Vatican City State. In most instances parties are included only if represented in elected parliaments (in the lower house in bicameral legislatures). (Party names may be condensed or omitted for reasons of space or to more clearly indicate party groupings.) The first column under "Parliamentary representation" indicates the number of seats obtained in the most recent general election and excludes nonelective seats and seats still undecided. If only a portion of the seats were at stake, the figure given indicates the total number of seats held by each party after the election. The column in parentheses represents the number of seats won in the penultimate election. Single-party penultimate election results may be combined if a coalition was formed at the most recent election. The date of the most recent election...READ MORE

Homelessness activists take over Finglas apartment block
Homelessness activists have taken over an unoccupied apartment block in Finglas, Dublin 11.
The apartment building is located on the site of the old Premier dairies on the Finglas Road.
The group, calling themselves Premier Love Project, aren't part of the Home Sweet Home group who took over the Apollo House earlier this month, but say they are associated with them.
Colin McGettrick posted a video of the takeover on Facebook.
He told the Irish Times: "I've been on the housing list for 17 years and still haven't been housed."
"There are people out there living in tents, cars, vans, that's who we want to ideally house."
"There are people dying on our streets and there are people being treated like dogs. There's people in desperate circumstances out there. Austerity has ripped people apart. There are people in their graves over this government's policies and that's what is driving us. We want to change the housing policy in this country whatever way we can. We're going to keep on occupying Nama buildings."

API Application Programming Interface
You can send commands to VoxCommando by many different methods: UDP, TCP, HTTP, or command line. To use TCP or HTTP you need to enable and configure the TCP plugin.
Message formatRegardless of how messages are sent to VoxCommando, the message itself will always be a single string using the following format:
Action Type&&Parameter1&&Parameter2&&Parameter3 etc.
Here are some sample messages:
Perform Basic Actions
TTS.Speak&&Hi there!
Emulate a voice command using the VC.TellVox action
Note: Spelling must match your tree phrases & payloads exactly!
VC.TellVox&&Play artist Buck Jones
Triggering Events
VC.TriggerEvent&&MyEvent.Name&&I am Payload 1&&and I am Payload 2
By default VoxCommando listens for UDP messages on port 33000, but you can change this in options.
You can send messages to VoxCommando using any program or device that can send UDP messages such as EventGhost, Vera, iRule, VoxWav, and many other remote programs and apps etc.
You can send UDP messages from the command line using VoxCommando.exe or udpsender.exe.
To send messages from Vera home controllers, you can use the Luup programming script in your Vera triggers and automation scenes. Please see this forum post as well as this one for more information.
Other home controllers that allow Lua scripting may work similarly if they can send UDP messages.
You can send UDP messages to VoxCommando from iRule, Tasker, etc. Please consult the documentation for the device or application you are using to learn how to send UDP messages.
You can send UDP messages to VoxCommando from EventGhost using the Broadcaster plugin.
You can also send UDP messages using TellVoxCommando.exe which facilitates the formatting of the messages for basic commands. TellVox can sometimes be handy for testing, but usually we just test commands from within the command editor, which is more powerful.
Command Line
Command line tools essentially allow you to send a message to VoxCommando using UDP. You can either use VoxCommando.exe or the small utility udpsender.exe which is part of the "extra tools" available on the Download Page
You can create a TCP server with the TCP plugin.
HTTPTCP plugin.
In the TCP plugin settings, you can enable a web server, choosing the port. If enabled in settings, the web server will run whenever VoxCommando is running.
It is also possible to start and stop a web server using TCP actions within your commands.
HTTP requests to VoxCommando take the form:
http://[your IP address]:port/api/{see message syntax above}
Note that in the example shown in the plugin settings, the IP address 127.0.0.1 refers to the standard loopback IP for local host. If you're sending requests from a different computer on your network, you'll need to know the true IP address for the machine running VoxCommando.

Q1 Produce Sales Trend Positive: 'FreshFacts' Report
Over the first quarter of 2010, dollar and volume performance for produce were mostly positive, according to "FreshFacts on Retail," the quarterly research report of the Washington-based United Fresh Foundation.
Over the first quarter of 2010, dollar and volume performance for produce were mostly positive, according to "FreshFacts on Retail," the quarterly research report of the Washington-based United Fresh Foundation. Sales data shows that while produce prices remained relatively flat, shoppers increased their produce purchases compared WITH a year ago resulting in over 3 percent growth in sales and volume.
Produced in partnership with the Perishables Group and sponsored by Del Monte Fresh Produce, "FreshFacts on Retail" measures retail price and sales volume trends for the top 10 fruit and vegetable commodities, as well as value-added, organic and other produce categories.
Highlights of this quarter's report include:
—Vegetables volume sales increased 5 percent and fruit increased 1.5 percent in the first quarter of 2010 vs. the first quarter of 2009
—Six out of the top 10 fruit categories experienced dollar growth, and the citrus category is leading this trend with a 11.7 percent gain in weekly dollars per store
—The largest volume growth in the top 10 vegetable category was peppers, up 9.4 percent despite a 2.1 percent increase in price
—Both value-added fruit and vegetables experienced increases in dollar and volume sales
Fresh-cut fruit, which represents more than three-quarters of the total value-added fruit sales, increased weekly dollar sales by 14.8 percent, compared to 10.8 percent of the entire value-added fruit category.
Trays, representing more than 20 percent of the total value-added vegetable sales, saw the strongest performance gains among the subcategories, with a 12.1 percent increase in weekly dollar sales and 12.5 percent in weekly volume.
Organic vegetables outsold organic fruit in dollar and volume sales.
In addition, the report features a quarterly spotlight on how produce assortment is changing, as gauged by two measures: impressions, which evaluate how the presence of different categories changed, and an assessment of bulk and packaged sales to see how the use of packaging is changing in the produce department.
The complete "FreshFacts on Retail" report can be downloaded free of charge to all United Fresh members ($50 for non-members).
For more information about how to obtain the report or suggestions for future category spotlights, contact Patrick Delaney, United Fresh communications manager, at 202-303-3400, ext. 417, or [email protected]. For questions about specific data contained in the report, contact Kelli Beckel at the Perishables Group at 773-929-7013.

The Nurse in the female ward was one of the medical staff who looked after the residents who were admitted to hospital following the coach crash on the way back from the Lake District in November 1969.
After being hospitalised, the women interned in the ward were generally well behaved with one exception: Ena Sharples. Out of concern for her friends, Ena had insisted on being seen last in casualty, and ended up fainting and being brought to the ward in a wheelchair. As she ordered the irascible pensioner into bed, the nurse warned her that she would "cop it when the dragon comes breathing fire at you", referring to the ward sister. Later, when Ena was holding vigil at a poorly Minnie Caldwell's bedside, she tried in vain to get her to rest. The matter was referred to Doctor Matthews, who asked the nurse to send Ena to him so that he could set her mind at ease over Minnie. When Ena demanded that the doctor come to see her instead, the nurse momentarily lost her rag, reminding Ena that it was Bonfire Night and the doctor had been on duty for 14 hours. Shamed, Ena apologised and left to respond to the summons.
