Discursivité et co-autorité en éthique clinique: regard critique sur le rôle et les fonctions de la délibération éthique en comité
Caenepeel, Didier
Jobin, Guy
Bibliographic Citation
Journal International de Bioéthique = International Journal of Bioethics 2005 September-December; 16(3-4): 107-133, 174-175
Clinical ethics, as instituted in committees, aims to solve ethical problems by means of interdisciplinary deliberation. Elucidation and deliberation are used a s pragmatic means whose finality is decision-making. This being so, it may be wondered if clinical ethics has not been pruned of its more global critical potential. Narrative approaches open some ways of thinking of this critical function, but they seem to us to be nevertheless still insufficient for the task. We propose to explore the heuristic and practical fertility of the concepts of discursiveness--more inclusive than narrativity--, and co-authority--that we will have to situate and relate to notions of power, expertise and normativity--, in order to give fresh thought to the role and functions of a clinical ethics committee in a health care institution, and consequently the possible contribution of clinical ethics both as deliberation process and critical reflection of practices. To achieve this result, we propose the following approach. First of all, we will identify the limits of current narrative proposals. Secondly, we will present the concept of discursiveness based on work that follows on from the ethics of discussion. Thirdly, we will expose our definition of the concept of co-authority in a discursive space which includes both the actors of the clinical situation and the actors of the deliberation. Fourthly and finally, we will draw the consequences for a critical theory of the role and functions of a clinical ethics committee.

Valentine's Day is about a lot of things. Some people think it's just a Hallmark holiday invented to sell things. Some people think it's about celebrating romantic love with flowers, chocolate, and dates at nice restaurants. For some families, however, it's just not a viable option to pass the kids onto a babysitter and go out for the evening — or, you may want to share the gift of love with your kids as well. But in a world drenched in romance, what are some Valentine's Day activities that are fun for everyone, kids included?
Parents can take the opportunity to use Valentine's Day as a way to teach children about love. Love in this sense doesn't necessarily mean romantic love — friends and family are just as vital to our lives. Taking the time to make gifts and compliment each other can really help kids understand the value of interpersonal relationships. For example, you might have the family write letters of appreciation or thanking each other for specific good deeds. You could even make each other candies or other sweets instead of just buying Valentine's candy from the store.
If you don't just want it to be a family event, you can have a Valentine's party for your kids as well and let them invite friends over. At these parties, parents can have the kids make Valentines for each other and provide red, pink, and white snacks (or have the kids help make them!).
Valentine's Day activities don't just have to be about you and your significant other. They can include the whole family! Scouring through the web turns up a bunch of ideas for Valentine's Day inspired games, crafts, and activities, and I'm sure you can even come up with a few of your own if you're feeling creative.

What is the significance of Hamlet titling the play written for the players "the mousetrap"?Act 3, SCENE 2

"The Mousetrap" is the means by which Hamlet obtains the proof he needs to verify the Ghost's claim that Claudius is a murderer. The play-within-a-play literally traps Claudius because the king's reaction reveals his guilt.
This scene is one of many references to traps and snares in the play as a whole. Polonius warns Ophelia that Hamlet's "tenders of affection" are "springes [snares] to catch woodcocks" (1.3.124). To thwart Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Hamlet tells Gertrude, "'tis the sport to have the enginer/ Hoist with his own petard" (3.4.229-230), meaning that one who makes bombs may be blown up by them. He will switch letters with the pair so that they will deliver a letter ensuring their own doom rather than Hamlet's.

WAITING FOR BILLY CRUDUP TO ARRIVE, I'm not sure what to expect. Several figures stroll by and I keep looking up, wondering if any of them are him: an unshaven guy in sunglasses, a clean-cut guy in a tailored blazer, a guy in track pants on his cell phone—nope, nope, and nope. When he does arrive, I'm pleasantly surprised to see him sporting a quirky moustache and a friendly grin, dressed in unassuming jeans and a T-shirt, looking far more approachable than any of the others.
Over the next hour, I realize how important being approachable—or rather, being grounded—is to this accomplished actor of stage and screen. He's quick-witted and eloquent, disarming yet entirely professional. Though his personal life has been expounded upon in the tabloids for the past few years, he hardly seems like a controversial figure—he's just a devoted dad to his two-year-old son, a very private boyfriend to Claire Danes, and a fine, New York-based working actor who's just glad his MFA from NYU paid off.
His fans—earned through his marvelous performances on the New York stage in The Elephant Man, Arcadia, The Pillowman, and many more, as well as memorable roles in films like Jesus' Son, Waking the Dead, Inventing the Abbotts, Stage Beauty, and Almost Famous—are in for an enormous treat this month, as a mammoth production of Tom Stoppard's trilogy The Coast of Utopia hits Lincoln Center. Joined by a huge cast that includes Ethan Hawke, Jennifer Ehle, Martha Plimpton, Amy Irving, and Richard Easton, Crudup will take on the trials of 19th-century Russian intellectuals in Stoppard's marvelous, mind-bending piece, first produced in London in 2002.
GOTHAM: So, did you enjoy the photo shoot for our cover? We hear you were very charming.
BILLY CRUDUP: Doing a photo shoot isn't my favorite thing…. It's a kind of performance, and I prefer to have a role when I'm performing. Some actors are great at being able to think of that environment as a performance, but I'm not one of them. I've never been too game for trying to create or perfect a "personality." I see so much energy put into style in our profession, and I've always felt that it's disproportionately weighed.
G: Well, your moustache looks great. How are people reacting to it?
BC: It's for the play. All of my friends are giving me tons of shit, which is totally understandable. And people I've never met before are thinking of me as the "moustache guy." It comes in red… it's awkward all around. If I weren't playing a character who needed an awkward moustache, it wouldn't be there.
G: How long will The Coast of Utopia run?
BC: Six-months. The performance schedule is incredibly complex. It's a trilogy: Once we finish rehearsing the first play and put it up, we perform it for a month, then start rehearsals during the day for the next play. After a month of that, we have four performances of the first play, two performances of the second, and gradually build up to where we're alternating. Eventually, we'll be performing the first two plays and rehearsing the third during the day.
G: That's a lot….
BC: Then we have a couple of days when we do all three in a row.
G: Isn't that an extremely intimidating concept to tackle?
BC: Actors get so few opportunities to do something ballsy, and all the actors involved are excited about the prospect of this kind of marathon. There are only three Saturdays in February when we do all three, and I'm only in the first two. So, comparatively speaking, The Pillowman—which was only two and a half hours long—was much more difficult for me.
G: How is the New York theater community going to fare, committing to nine hours of Stoppard in Russia?
BC: Right now we've got people spending 24 hours just to see three hours of Brecht [the playwright's Mother Courage, in Central Park]. Now, we don't have Meryl Streep, for there's only one Meryl Streep, but I suspect there are enough theater geeks in New York and the tri-state area to fill up three days' worth of shows. There are the fans of Russian literature, fans of live theater, fans of Stoppard, and then all of those people who want to say they saw it.
G: Did you see the London production?
BC: No, I didn't get over there for it.
G: Well, you didn't know you had to.
BC: Exactly. And, actually, had I known I was going to do the play, I probably still wouldn't have gone and seen it, because you can't help but be influenced by another performance. For something like this, when I'm the second person playing the part, I don't want to have a context. It's different when playing Hamlet or Othello, when context is really important. For newer plays, I don't see the benefit.
G: This is your opportunity to put a stamp on it.
BC: The director, Jack O'Brien, is fantastic. He did one of my favorite Tom Stoppard plays, The Invention of Love. He did such an incredible job of focusing the audience's attention on the emotional journey of the characters. And he kept all the literary humor for the people who would enjoy it, but didn't let it get in the way of the movement of the play—and that's really important for the play we're about to do now.
G: What do you think of Stoppard?
BC: When you're a student, studying acting, you study the great actors [and writers]… and one of the great contemporary writers is Stoppard. You can't avoid him. And, sentimentally, the first big production I was a part of in New York was Arcadia, and he was there for it… and that play really launched my career. I have an enormous amount of gratitude for that part he wrote.
G: So, you're committed only to this project for these six months?
BC: Yeah, I'm not doing anything else. I like that aspect of doing theater. It's one of the few chances you get as an actor of having a normal job. You're working nights and it's an odd schedule, but it's consistent.
G: And since you're a New York actor, it must be nice to work here.
BC: To be at home is perfect. You get so tired of being transitory. Trying to dive in and create a home for yourself somewhere else for six weeks, pulling up roots—it's discombobulating.
G: What are the challenges you face, as an actor, by being here and not in LA?
BC: The challenges are the same as they are for everybody. New York can be really oppressive. If you're not doing well psychologically or emotionally, the city often doesn't help. But by the same token, I've never lived anywhere I've felt a stronger sense of community. And that comes from everyone feeling like we're all in the most difficult and rewarding city in the world. When you're in Los Angeles, there's a sense of segregation. You have to make a concerted effort to break the normal patterns of behavior that take you from work, to dinner party, then home. You just don't ever interact with people who aren't like you. Whereas in New York, you don't have an option—and I love that. I like the way that challenges people.
G: How was studying at NYU?
BC: It was remarkable; I didn't ever want to leave. The teachers were the best in the country. I hadn't committed to being an actor until my first day of graduate school. I thought about teaching, but from the first day I started classes at NYU, I knew it was exactly what I wanted to do. My friends still make fun of me, because I'd be pissed when we had a day off.
G: And you're pretty much the artist of your family.
BC: Nobody in my family comes from a creative background. They've never made a living at it. There wasn't a template in my family to pursue acting as a career. But my mom was thrilled; she'd been taking me to the theater since I was a kid. That's one of the reasons it was so interesting to me. We'd take trips to see Fences or Starlight Express, and I developed a real appetite for theater. It was always a way of being well rounded. Once I started pursuing acting, she was a vigorous supporter—but my dad didn't know what to think of it. Until I started making money, it was awkward. My grandfather refused to admit that I was getting an MFA. He kept saying I was getting an MBA. He was scared for me.
G: Your friend Julianne Moore was on Gotham's September cover.…
BC: She looks hot!
G: You just worked with her and her husband, Bart Freundlich, on Trust the Man.
BC: That was another rare opportunity to get to work in New York, on a movie that was so lighthearted and good-natured, with my friends. I had one of the greatest experiences. Bart is a great friend of mine and one of my favorite directors to work with. We communicate very easily—something you definitely can't count on.
G: Is there a type of big Hollywood vehicle that would interest you enough to commit to it?
BC: There are tons of roles I've wanted that were big. The Coen brothers are doing a movie now—they make big movies that are extremely interesting. My career isn't totally designed to be under the radar. I just haven't gotten some of the things that have become huge and popular; and some of the things I thought would appeal to a broad audience, didn't.
G: Are people here respectful of your privacy as an actor?
BC: People usually only recognize me from my work, not from magazines. If they remember me, it's usually something obscure. I've got an idiosyncratic group of fans.
G: How do you like to spend your time in New York?
BC: I just discovered the Cloisters for the first time—you feel like you're in a different world. And, I have a Vespa… Manhattan just shrinks when you have a scooter. I spend my time walking around the West Village or Uptown running errands, or strolling through Washington Square Park with my son. One of my favorite things to do is walk from the East Village to the Upper East Side, with no particular agenda. It feels like you get to walk through 30 different climate changes. It's a great way to experience Manhattan. You go from neighborhoods filled with struggling artists to successful artists to insurance salesmen to the wealthy. It's an incredible journey.
The Coast of Utopia opens at Lincon Center's Vivian Beaumont Theater on October 17.

TPW Russ Roundup – Feingold Up By 4 In Wisconsin
Former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) holds a narrow lead over vulnerable Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in a rematch for the competitive Wisconsin Senate seat, a new poll finds Wednesday.
The Marquette Law School Poll found Feingold has a 4-point lead, within the survey's margin of error, over Johnson, 45 percent to 41 percent among registered voters.
Johnson faces an uphill battle for a district that went for President Obama in both 2008 and 2012, and could be pivotal in which party gains control of the upper chamber.
The poll's results have barely shifted from a survey in March, when Feingold was leading Johnson by 5 points, 47 percent to 42 percent.
But among likely voters in the general election, Feingold's lead widens, garnering support from 51 percent, compared to Johnson, who received 42 percent.
The difference between the two voter groups underscores the enthusiasm of Democrats and Republicans. The poll found that 84 percent of Democrats plan to vote in November, while 78 percent of Republicans will cast ballots in general election.
Charles Franklin, professor of law and public policy and director of the Marquette Law School Poll, said that while the likelihood of voting changes throughout a campaign, Republicans right now face an enthusiasm gap. He said voter turnout will be better projected after both parties hold their conventions and officially nominate their standard-bearers.
Gun control edges into Johnson-Feingold race
While his party is making a concerted push in Washington to block those on the terrorist watch list from buying guns, Democrat Russ Feingold is voicing reservations about the idea.
Meanwhile, Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson has pointed to ideology, not guns, as the root cause of Sunday's mass shooting in Orlando.
The thorny issue of gun control, which played out in the U.S. Senate Wednesday, hasn't yet flared dramatically in the Johnson-Feingold race, one of the most fiercely contested in the current campaign cycle.
But it is clearly on the table.
Feingold and Johnson say they want to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists. But turning words into legislative action is still part of what divides them in their rematch race for the U.S. Senate.
In a statement, Feingold said: "There are a host of common-sense, responsible safety measures we can take right now to help prevent tragedies like this from happening in the future."
"We need to implement solutions like waiting periods, ensuring background checks for all purchases, and doing away with these unnecessary high-capacity magazines that allow would-be killers to inflict massive harm in mere seconds," Feingold added.
"But before Congress implements measures related to the terror watch list, it must make sure it's not restricting the fundamental rights of American citizens without due process."
Republicans Want Feingold To Pull An Ad
Republicans are calling on Democrat Russ Feingold to pull his latest campaign attack ad against Sen. Ron Johnson because it comes two days after the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
The ad released Tuesday has nothing to do with the shooting at a gay Orlando nightclub that left 49 people and the attacker dead. Instead, the spot focuses on Johnson's votes in the Senate on trade deals and his accepting a $10 million deferred compensation package in 2011.
Johnson spokesman Brian Reisinger says Feingold is shameless for launching the ad and says this is a time for the country to come together.
Feingold spokesman Michael Tyler isn't addressing criticism of the timing. Instead, Tyler says Johnson has been hiding behind attack ads funded by outsider groups opposed to Feingold.
The ad released statewide on Tuesday, except in the Madison market, calls Johnson's accepting a $10 million payment for deferred compensation from his plastics company Pacur shortly before being sworn into the Senate in 2011 a "sweetheart corporate payout."
The spot then references five votes Johnson made in the Senate, saying they resulted in Wisconsin jobs being shipped overseas.

Leaving Sunshine
Summary: Death can mean a shift in worlds. Some are better than the last, some are worst. The ones that involve magical ninjas are terrible for everyone involved. OC Self-insert set in Silver Queen's Dreaming of Sunshine Universe.
Chapter 1
This was the Naruto-universe.
I fumed silently over the new revelation. Really would've preferred the Pokémon-universe.
What did I remember about the Naruto-universe? It was a fighting manga franchise based off of basically magical ninjas who performed their dark arts with chakra. I only remembered up to Tsunade becoming Hokage in the original Naruto, and sparse, unconnected plot points in Shippuden. Plot details may not even be relevant though, as I had no idea where I was in this world's timeline.
I said I had gotten back into Naruto before my death. That may be too strong a claim. It was essentially just playing the new video games, watching some clips on YouTube, and watching Rock Lee and His Ninja Pals. Not sure how advantageous Rock Lee and Tenten's manzai comedy was going to be against giant snake people, or whatever the antagonists were.
Wait, if I was in the Naruto-universe that meant…
No video games. No T.V. No internet. Alright screw this reincarnation. I wanted a do-over!
Then I felt It. I was really lucky the old man's chakra was there, it acted as a buffer from the full force of It. A foreign energy crashed over my senses, invading my sensory organs by the sheer magnitude of it.
The two energies, invasive as they were, were like two very fundamentally different burglars. The old man's chakra quietly snuck in through my back door. This Chakra broke my front door and blasted apart all my windows simply by being there. It was basically the antithesis of all good feelings. It was a poisonous pain that enveloped every fiber of my being.
This warranted crying. By god it hurt. The other babies joined in a cacophony of wails. The old man's parental aura became that of a soldier's in an instant. He handed me back to my caretakers and immediately left in a blur. Sounds of destruction rang out.
What the hell was going on? Some kind of monster attack or invasion? I'd felt signatures of, what I was assuming people's chakra, being snuffed out in the distance.
Whatever it was, it solidified my position on becoming a ninja.
This was a fighting manga. There wasn't a reason for me to let that horrible, painful power that assaulted me scare me. No matter how terrifying or strong the threat, you could probably punch it in the face if you had enough ridiculous magic powers or training. And I'd done plenty of running in my previous life. I was going to deck my problems in the schnoz now.
Since I had nothing better to do, and because the discovery I was in an extraordinary reality made the idea of spending my time pranking adults sound trite, I decided to train. Since at this point a light fall could probably break my spine, I decided on messing around with this chakra stuff. I mean, I probably should have tried to learn the language more, but chakra was an energy force from another universe. That was awesome.
I may not have been a huge fan of Naruto, but that didn't mean I wasn't still a huge nerd. My interest shifted from Anime and Manga to Video Games and Live-action shows.
I had become an avid fan of fighting games and their oddly almost universal concept of chi. The idea that one could simply train hard enough to manifest their life energy into general superhuman feats, like punching an island asunder, or chucking plasma via Hadoukens really resonated with me. I was honestly a bit excited to actually be able to mess around with chakra, as it was vaguely similar.
In my crib, at night when no adults were around, I tried to concentrate and channel chakra into my tiny baby hand. Time came to a crawl, my eyes began to bulge, and my nonexistent muscles began to tense.
I was just squeezing my hand real hard.
I suppose I shouldn't feel too bad about that. I was sure there wasn't a social stigma against babies not being good ninja wizards. I also had no idea what I was doing.
Well then, I'd try and figure this whole chakra stuff out the way I've always solved my problems. Not through intelligent analysis or clever planning, but brute force. Try every conceivable way until it works!
Every night I would try new things, and every night I would continue to be unimpressed. But bit by bit my hand felt warmer, and warmer. I'd felt like I had an intangible, all-encompassing muscle that would keep growing bigger and bigger.
Finally, one day, there was an unmistakably bright, thin, blue-white aura coating my hand.
I let out a loud, baby giggle in pure jubilation. By Kishimoto's holy ghost I'd earned super powers! I was like the Immortal Iron Fist (or Batman, if you wanted a more mainstream, less accurate simile)! No radioactive animal bites or innate genius intellect (well, relatively speaking, adult mind and all), I'd gained strength through sheer work and willpower!
My brain quickly ran through things I could do with this new-found power. I remembered that in the Naruto-universe, one could use their chakra to stick to surfaces, even walk on water. That seemed to be a good start as any. I tried sticking myself to the wooden bars of my crib and my sheets.
...and nothing happened. In frustration I pressed against the surfaces with more force. I yelped and yanked back my hand in terror as the crib began to slightly tip in response.
Huh. At least I figured out how to use chakra to hit stuff real good.
What was I doing wrong? Did I need to do those lame hand signs? I examined my glowing hand. Trying to sense the same chakra I felt other people had I got… nothing, strangely. Were you unable to sense your own chakra like you were unable to smell your normal scent? Maybe, but you could use your own eyes to see yourself so you might be able to sense yourself.
I could definitely make out I had some sort of chakra signature myself; I didn't get any feelings from it though like I did from that old man and everyone else. I didn't feel there was a concentration of chakra in my hand, even though I could blatantly see it. Ugh, was I going to have to wait until I entered that Ninja Academy to get taught about chakra to find out what was going on?
Regardless I continued to practice this way. Even though I was sure I was doing something wrong, that invisible muscle I was exercising to make this Not Chakra slowly but surely got stronger. For now I'd assume it was my chakra pool, or whatever. When I learned to actually make chakra properly I'd probably have a sizable amount of it to play with.
By the time I was four months old I could walk. By the time I was three, I begrudgingly admitted to myself I barely understood Japanese.
I could say it was because I was so focused on my training I didn't have time for the lame and boring things like literacy and being comprehensible, but that'd be a half-truth to save face. I only trained in secrecy at night; I had plenty of time during the day to do whatever.
Honestly I was a bit terrified. Not of the learning, but the social interaction. I kinda felt shameful and stupid for being talked down to about something like really simple sentences. Whenever I'd feel uneasy about my language skills I'd just think of new spins and methods on my training. Funny, how the most obnoxious baby was now the quietest child.
On my third birthday though, when the only things I understood were "Happy Birthday Rin" and "Shinji stop crying" (that dork was a huge crybaby); I finally recognized that notion as ridiculous.
As the celebration of my third birthday was wrapping up I walked over to the small shelves with the children's books, grabbed a picture book, punched the butt of one of the shorter caretakers to get their attention, and shoved it in their face (as much as my height allowed).
The female caretaker turned and laughingly questioned for the identity of her assailant. Noting the book, she smiled warmly, took me by the hand to a table, and read to me.
"The three of us are going to the Academy Rin. We know you're all crazy about being a ninja, so try and stay away from us. You're so weird. You'll make us look bad." Ami, I recognized, head brat of the Bratty Bitch Trio, said to me.
"I barely even talk. And besides, if I'm so weird, wouldn't I just make you all look a lot cooler and prettier in comparison?" I replied, not looking up from my novel. The monster man had just ripped off the protagonist's fiancé's arms with a sick bloodline jutsu and beat her to death with them, it was pretty rad.
Kasumi and Fuki, the other members of the Bratty Bitch Trio, murmured amongst themselves, considering what I said. Reaching some sort of conclusion they looked to Ami and gave a nod.
"Even though you're obviously just thinking of excuses to stick with us, I guess we'll see if what you said is true." With that, the trio walked off.
I sighed to myself, something I noticed I did every time I communicated with the three. This was no way the social group I intended on associating with. It's just… what else was I supposed to do?
I was a girl now, so they accepted me on that alone. I couldn't talk to normal people in my past life, let alone kids! With no video games, kids shows, or Pokemon in this world I was at a loss of whatever the hell kids were interested in. Plus the three almost never partook in the physical games I'd long grown tired of, so I could sit around with them and quietly do whatever. Those are all terrible justifications but… ugh, being social is really not my forté.
They weren't completely irreprehensible monsters though; they were just… incredibly abrasive young girls. Doing what young kids did: classifying everything into groups. Having kinda accepted me into theirs, they helped me pick out clothes, which was rather helpful to one as fashion-blind as me.
They insisted on shoulder length hair, which I complied to, but kept in a single pigtail in the back so it wasn't in the way. Whenever they'd pick out a nice but blandly colored outfit for me, so I'd be less noticeable than them, I'd get it in bright red to spite them.
At any rate, the three were definitely going to get what was coming for them at the Academy, just like in all those High School movies. What was the ninja world equivalent of being covered in paint at prom, or hit by a bus?
Noting the time from the clock, I closed my book and got up from the playground steps. Today was the day us orphans decided our future.
When the kids at the orphanage were five, we had to make the decision what school we went to. I was six, barely scraping into this year's pool. If we went to the Ninja Academy we'd get our own digs, kind of apartment deals near the academy. Kids who didn't would just move to another part of the orphanage that accommodated older children better. What scared off kids from this apparent no-brainer were the stories.
When you lived in a village that specialized in ninjas, it was pretty easy to terrify the young. If one man could terrify the criminals of Gotham City, an army of Batmen could definitely scare stupid kids trying to get free digs.
Because you lived so close to the Academy the 'teaching' didn't stop outside of the class room. It was pure hell for five year olds. Have you ever had to do disarming maneuvers against attackers midst shampoo? Defend against genjutsu monsters under your bed? Disarm traps around your silverware? Catch fake kunai with your teeth as it shoots out of your soup?!
It was kind of absurd surviving that torture did nothing to boost one's grades; you weren't penalized for failing. It was a test of conviction, a ninja trial by fire. The 'consistent-advanced-character-and-aptitude-testin g-that-isn't-hazing-at-all-kids-don't-even-know-wh at-that-means-shh' usually stopped after a year or so. That was usually when all the freeloaders dropped out.
There was no way that was going to stop me though. Not even an Academy consisting of a clone army of the Bratty Bitch Trio! Okay, maybe that would, but nothing else could stop my dream of doing cool stuff with my ninja powers!
Kaoru, the woman who taught me how to read, was at the desk where you turned in your forms for sign-up. She gave me a familiar warm smile; she was a rather pretty woman in her mid-twenties.
"Hello, Rin-chan. I'm guessing by the fact you're turning your form in so early you're going to the Academy?"
"I couldn't live with myself if I didn't, Kaoru-san." I firmly answered as I handed her my form. This was after all an opportunity that didn't exist in my lifetime.
Her smile whilst still warm took on a resigned quality. "We've already talked about this at length before. Good luck. Remember though that you can quit whenever you want, so don't feel like you have to become a ninja no matter what when you get to the Academy."
I appreciated her respecting my decision, even offering future emotional support if I decided to quit. She felt I was too kind and adverse to conflict to be a ninja, a soldier. Honestly she wasn't too off the mark. Kaoru was the only person I really opened up to, felt comfortable with sharing. I really did hate people fighting with one another, and it was nigh impossible for me to hold a grudge or honestly hate anyone. It just didn't seem logical to me.
But hey, maybe the world needed more ninja like that.
"Ah, also! Remember that if you ever need help, food, someone to talk to, anything, I'll always be there for you."
"Not sure about needing someone to talk to, but I'll definitely think about raiding your fridge. I'm very grateful for everything, Kaoru-san."
I truly was.
I was at an introduction ceremony for a NINJA Academy.
I could easily contain my excitement. I had just kind of gracefully accepted that this was real, and I'd eventually be pretty awesome.
There were also a lot of children here, I couldn't express too much how much of a giddy dork I was inside. I regained my composure and remembered to scan and try and spot out any familiar faces in the crowd. The Third Hokage was there talking about learning and friendship and something called the 'Will of Fire', so I might be in the right time frame for what little I remembered about the Naruto storyline to be useful.
After two teachers had called out their class list, I was incredibly anxious about the fact that even if I was at the right place in the timeline, I might not even be in the class I had any knowledge about. I was biting the inside of my mouth in anticipation by the time the guy with the scar across the bridge of his nose came up.
"Right. With me are: Aburame, Shino…" That sounded familiar. Was that the dog face or the bug guy? The child who walked up to wait with the teacher was looking like a mini-drug dealer, with the shades and mostly obscured face. Hell yeah, it was bug face! I had not useless future knowledge! Now I only had to hope I could get into this class with all the relevant characters.
"… Inuzuka, Kiba, Kazama, Rin…"
I was so happy I could've energetically and awkwardly flailed around and called it dancing, ruining my reputation for the next few decades. I only displayed a faint smile to demonstrate my feelings as I walked up to where the others were waiting, and was content to bask as horrible-sneezing-accident read off the rest of the names.
One name he said made me pause.
Huh. The smart kid who controlled shadows, Shikamaru, had a last name. I never recalled that.
He also had a twin sister: Shikako.
I definitely didn't recall that.

A poet friend put out a challenge for April, National Poetry Month. The challenge was to write a new poem every day for the entire month. I decided to take her up on the challenge. My side note is not all of the following are brand new, some are, others are older but have not been published or seen by eyes other than mine. Check back often as I will be adding at least one new poem every day!
Poem-A-Day: Day 1
I have tread dangerously close to the edge
yet again
dancing with the dark feet of arrogance & invincibility.
I knew it wouldn't create what I really wanted
when I started dancing that ancient dance,
every move timed and taken
with the exacting prevision of heartless repetition.
The familiar and the known are best friends,
seductive with memories of ease and this-is-just-how-its-done.
I lost myself, forgot for a moment,
my heart requires attention to grow.
I caught myself,
yet again
just before I slipped unconscious
off the edge and fell head first
into that quicksand of despair.
More than once is has snuffed out
the will to live with its greedy hands.
The stance now made out of shock and shame
I sit gasping on that edge,
the sliver of choice between life and death.
I close my eyes, wanting,
gathering all the parts of me
together here in this one place.
Despair bubbles and calls
reminding me how quiet it is in there.
My breath, voice and courage are all still in tact.
I stand, shaking,
peering over the edge into the familiar nothingness
and walk away.
Poem-A-Day: Day 2
It's getting late
and more than anything
I want it all back,
my passion and innocence.
I want the "before I knew
what I know now",
before my jaded eyes see
what's supposed to be
and trick me into
chopping off my right hand,
that it might be trying
to kill me.
And now it's just so late.
I'm loosing daylight
on this treacherous search
ignoring all the tell tale signs
of misdirection and regrets.
And trudging dangerously close
to an abyss
I'm so familiar with.
Turning toward
the unrelenting blackness,
about to give over and give up
reaching for the hand
that has been long time gone,
something moves and my reflection is
blinking back at me.
There is Life in those eyes.
Life that I was sure
disintegrated long ago.
I can do nothing but stare at her
and wonder
has she been there this whole time?
The darkness does not take her
but instead
gives her a place to be
like a back drop
the real picture.
I put a hand to my face,
she gazes through me
eyes shining,
a smile softly growing on her lips.
My fingers trace the smile
with a whisper,
recognizing the way
she is all Me.
Poem-A-Day: Day 3
No hands, no feet, no arms, no eyes.
The threads of what I know
disappear like smoke into the realm
of unknown circumstance.
I collapse fully
into the despair of the fight.
There is no way out,
no end.
A flutter brushes me here
such a small movement and then gone.
I reach for it but with what
I do not know.
Something bumps me
as if my solidness
is somehow real here
and I reach for this too.
And then
a door flutters open
brilliant golden light pours in
and I know.
I collapsed into my own darkness.
I gave into what I could not see
and let myself drown,
as It did what it does
and loved me unconditionally.
Poem-A-Day: Day 4
Shaking loose
the lies that have bound me together
all the misapprehension
and tears spilled trying to remain solid
pieces scatter the ground
caught on the wind and disappear
most of them weren't mine anyway.
from somewhere deep I cannot name
every fiber and cell
up through the Heart and out my hands
uncomfortable beingness
not familiar to anywhere I am
I am never what I have thought I was.
Shake the boughs
of the trees and watch the leaves fall
without restraint
or resistance to their chosen course
so must i
learn from their brilliant example
and embrace with grace my own steps forward.
Shakedown revelations
turn fears toward illumination
breaking through
the phantom shadows of doubt
perception opens
reality shifts with the current
I am always more than I think I am.
Poem-A-Day: Day 5
Eyes close, awareness lifts up and out
flight, rippling movement, soft connection,
drifting inward vision, a place where possibility
unfolds and blooms with flower-like simplicity.
Breath slows as first-eye clears space
for life stories told in simplistic rhyme
as translation becomes a single note,
giving definition to the indefinable
two syllables forever gifted,
one heart to another
repeated with loving intent
Thank you, Thank You, Thank you.
Poem-A-Day: Day 6
I Can
I Will
I Am
Those words flew from her
with the unshakable strength
of wings
that have always known how to fly.
Even with the loss of feathers
or broken bones
that indelible knowledge of flight
still lives and can never be forgotten.
And she remembers...
her voice carries her
like wings set free on the wind.
I Can
I Will
I Am
Poem-A-Day: Day 7
Secret stances
stealing glances from across the room.
I know they will take me somewhere new
and I want to go.
I lean that direction
but a familiar voice urges
I might be seen
and the hesitation leaves enough space to reconsider.
Now the stance
and movement are gone
leaving the same old posturing
in their wake.
I go back to what I was doing
but cannot shake the impulse
to let go
and lay a palm over my heart.
Before too long
with my body as a bridge
I have found something new
and those stances are not so secret anymore.
Poem-A-Day: Day 8
There is singing going on somewhere
Maybe in my heart.
Maybe at the depth of me.
Maybe in my toes.
There is joy going on somewhere
Maybe in the sun.
Maybe in the leaves as they fall.
Maybe in my toes.
There is change going on somewhere
Maybe where it can't be seen.
Maybe over there.
Maybe in my toes.
There is fear going on somewhere
Maybe every where I look.
Maybe right here.
Maybe in my toes.
There is peace going on somewhere
Maybe right next door.
Maybe on that frozen lake.
Maybe in my toes.
Somewhere there is Love going on
somewhere in the world.
Maybe it is whispering to me to join in
reminding me I am already a part.
Maybe in my toes.

A kind, not showy dog toy, the toy Manchester Terrier can also be known as the English toy Terrier. Whichever its name, this is a small, slim, black and tan dog, with a good disposition.
The English toy Terrier, also known as toy Manchester Terrier weighs less than 3 kg and it is told apart from its larger cousin, the Manchester Terrier, for its naturally erect ears, which are more separated at the base, and narrowing at the tip. Unlike the Manchester Terrier, cropped ears disqualify for show; in addition, the ears of the English toy Terrier should never be wide, with a snub or bell tip. In general it is slightly longer than tall, and has enough bone and muscles to guarantee its agility and resistance. Invariably, it is short haired, black and tan, with a smart and alert expression. The eyes are small and almond shapes, set obliquely and shiny; the head is long and narrow, without visible cheekbones, and forming a snub wedge. The muzzle and skull are the same length. The neck is long, graceful and slightly arched; the chest is narrow but deep; wide ribcage; tucked in abdomen; the tail, wide at the base, sharpening at the end, low inserted, it can't surpass the hock end. Straight forelegs, closed elbow; compact and well arched feet; good back angulations; low hocks. The black and tan color is well defined, without one merging with the other, it has tan colored spots, rosettes on both sides of the chest, over the forearms, under the tail and at birth; white is highly undesirable in any part of the body.
Even in the puppy, the Manchester's intelligence and livelihood already shows.
An infrequent election, the English toy Terrier has maintained a regular fan base in England during years and is one of the authentically English breed. It is small but not fragile, and attractive for its shiny black and tan coat. The English toy Terrier is an affectionate dog that requires an affectionate owner to teach it and share its life. It can become aggressive and excitable if spoiled or inappropriately handled. As most toy, it needs correct handling and socialization to develop its charming personality.
The weigh at birth is 140 to 170 g. Dewclaws are removed during the first week. Puppies are usually born completely black, although a minimum of tan spots can be visible. Tan patches should be apparent at four weeks. Thumb and pencil marks usually take longer to appear. Ear carriage is important, since the candle light ears are characteristic to the breed. Never cropped, the ears can be erect after a month to six months. The ears that are not raised after six months should be "glued" professionally. (Doing it too early is not advisable). There can be teeth retention, which should be removed.
The puppy needs time to get used to walking on four legs. Never fragile or weak in appearance, the puppy could look awkward. The mother should be extrovert and kind, not nervous or unpleasant.
The English toy Terrier is a tiny company dog, easy to care for. Care is very simple, a little more than brushing every two days, and regular eye, ear and pad inspection. It is susceptible to tarsus dislocation, which can be corrected surgically. Skin is sensitive and it should be protected from cold and wet weather. Skin infections occur in the breed, which can be limited to a certain extent with due care. An unusual skin anomaly, called coetaneous asthenia, has been documented in the large Manchester, whose symptoms include soft, delicate, humid skin with pale coloration (due to its genetic proximity, this anomaly is also possibly in the toy). There have been cases of epilepsy and Von Willenbrand, although not very frequent. The English toy Terrier requires more physical exercise than other toy Terriers. It has some blood anomaly background as well as gingivitis and other dental and gum problems.
Don't run off to choose a puppy from the litter. The Manchester breeder can advise you about the individual personality of each. His advice is more valuable than your own impulse or evaluation.

The corruption in Albany must end: An interview with GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick LazioTuesday, August 31st, 2010
By Fern Sidman
For New Yorkers who are angered and frustrated by the corruption that has plagued politics in Albany for many years now, the upcoming gubernatorial mid-term election races offer viable alternatives in terms of candidates. Having represented New York's 2nd congressional district for four terms from 1993-2001, Republican Rick Lazio is challenging Democrat Andrew Cuomo for the state's highest office. With a platform predicated on bold reforms and a concrete plan to battle corruption, I sat down with Mr. Lazio to discuss some issues effecting New Yorkers.

What would your reaction be if you have seen the following on page 10 of a novel?
Mine was along the lines of "we've got some interesting sci-fi author here, let's go on!". Or something close to that, as far as I can remember my first encounter with Neal Stephenson more than twelve years ago that started with Cryptonomicon and continued with titles such as Snow Crash and Anathem.
Stephenson never failed to satisfy and he has always delivered more than I expected as a curious reader. His latest book, "Some Remarks: Essays and Other Writing", a compilation of his short, and some not so short, essays and stories, is full of little surprises and a lot of depth. For the reader, it is quite a remarkable experience to see how Stephenson's style has developed throughout the years, the author of Anathem has notable differences compared to the author of Cryptonomicon.
As with any other Stephenson book, it is not easy to recommend this book to many people because even among Stephenson fans, I believe there are some differences: some like his more action packed techno thrillers, whereas some find the juicy stuff in his books where he does not refrain to step into the darker and heavier areas of metaphysics and quantum mechanics. Luckily, this compilation of essays and short stories has enough diversity to satisfy any kind of Stephenson fan. As for the 'outsiders', I would suggest the very short essay titled "Time Magazine Article About Anathem". In less than 4 pages, Stephenson accomplishes his feat by portraying the very core idea of one of his major works by using a striking analogy and then very gently forcing the reader to think about the consequences of some disturbing trends.
If you consider yourself a nerd, a geek, or someone with insatiable curiosity towards technology, modern world and how it came to be, philosophy, Newton, Leibniz, history, pop culture and why some writers who think the only way to exist is to have a source of income by lecturing at the universities cannot understand other writers who sell enough books to make a decent living, then I bet a bottle of champagne that you'll have a lot of good time reading this book.

Off the back of some fairly ordinary brown bitters at my local 'spoons, I wanted to spice my week up with something a bit more exciting. Something that would make my tongue quiver with its eager-to-please undulations of flavour and intensity. Something that would make my tongue submit to its passionate all-consuming... I'll stop there before this turns from a beer blog to a lurid take on a man's struggle with objectophilia.
With this in mind, I turned to Great Divide's Titan IPA for some solace. It's been sitting back, catching some rays, "chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool and shooting some b-ball outside of the school" for a while now, so I thought it about time to start makin' some trouble in the neighbourhood.
I believe I bought it on my last visit to Beers of Europe (towards the back-end of summer), which means it's getting on a bit for an IPA (BBF 11/04/10). With winter rapidly approaching I'll likely be feeling less and less inclined to pop the top of an IPA. Time to get my 'drink on' ASAP then, I thought, before it became a malty shadow of its former self.
Blurb: Titan IPA is a big, aggressively hopped India Pale Ale brewed for hop disciples. It starts out with piney hop aromas and citrus flavours, and finishes with a nice rich, malty sweetness that is balanced with a crisp hop bitterness.
Sounds great! Let's dig in.
Remember that aroma I mentioned earlier? (Not that you're likely to forget in the space of a few lines, but this is a beer blog). Well, on closer inspection there's grapefruit and an upfront woody, pine note. It has some toffee malt sweetness, but it's almost totally eclipsed by this dominant oily hop overtone.
In terms of flavour, it's of the same mould: grapefruit hops; lemon; orange peel; before progressing to a delicate bready, toasty malt undertone. It's 6.8% so it doesn't punish the palate (or the liver), but rather ties it up in silk and treads on it with high heels, rather than ball gagging it and lashing it with cow's hide, (it's all good, it just depends what you're in the mood for, there are no judges here) like a BrewDog Hardcore for example.
Let's face it, it's called Titan IPA. It doesn't fool around, it's not meant to. It's one-track minded but the guys at Great Divide have managed to subdue it just enough and bottle it thus.
Turns out the preamble is longer than the actual review but like this beer, some things just have to get down to the nitty gritty.
Post scriptum. I'm not one for beer/food pairings, but this goes quite nicely with a mature cheddar. I only happen to impart this to you since I was chomping on a block while writing this. Student life's great, ain't it?

2004 Field Season: Day 7
June 29, 2004
Three main excavations are under way right now. One is called AD5/7-1, and that's the hominin fossil site. Another is called CL1-1, which has unearthed a concentration of stone handaxes near the Site Museum. And the other is called Site 15, which we mentioned earlier as the place of an elephant, gazelle, and possible zebra butchery. Although Olorgesailie is famed for its great concentrations of handaxes, many of our excavations look for smaller groupings of stone tools and animal bones that give us a somewhat simpler record of early human activity and preservation of the remains. In most cases, the handaxe accumulations occur due to many complex events - matters of both hominin behavior and geological processes. We'll talk about that again another day.
To begin here, let me explain the names of the sites we're currently digging. Site 15 has an easy name - it's just a number. The reason is that it's part of a large series of excavations that we began in our very first field season, in 1986. Our original goal was to focus on one target layer, an ancient soil (or paleosol) in upper Member 1. This was the beginning of a new style of excavation. Rather than digging one site containing a large cluster of stones and bones all in one spot, we decided to dig many sites along a single, thin layer. The purpose was to discover how early humans used an entire landscape - or at least a several kilometer stretch of it that we could follow and excavate along an erosion slope. The stone tools, of course, were our guide as to where early humans were active on that landscape, over the course of maybe 500 to 1000 years when that soil was forming. Sometimes we found absolutely nothing in some of our excavations, but this told us something interesting, since these places where early humans avoided stood in contrast with the real "hot spots" of activity.
In our original survey, we marked off areas as we walked along the paleosol layer, and at number 15 the top of a fossilized elephant femur (thigh bone) had eroded out from the layer. Since it was exposed on the erosion slope, it was easy to spot, and a couple days later we began an excavation there. It became Site 15. Over several seasons of excavation, we found most of the elephant skeleton, over 2300 stone artifacts with it, and butchery cut marks on the elephant's ribs. We keep digging on digging at Site 15, and we keep finding interesting things. We'll see what happens this year.
Since those first years, we've expanded our digs to many different layers. So we needed a way to keep track of where and in what geological members the new excavations were located. We decided to use a combination of letters and numbers. These give the area, the geological member, and the excavation number of the site. For example, CL1-1 means the site is in Locality C (the region near the Site Museum); the target layer with the stone tools is in Lower Member 1; and it's the first excavation we've done there - in Locality C and Lower 1. This may sound complicated, but it works really well for any researcher who hears the site name; they know immediately the general vicinity of the site and the time frame.
In the afternoon, I had to leave for Nairobi to prepare for the release of the article in Science about our early human fossil discovered last year at Olorgesailie. On arriving in the city, I checked email and answered questions from reporters who already knew about the paper, which comes out this Friday. To be honest, I'd rather be with the rest of the team to carry on with the digs. But the field crew certainly knows its business, as they've all been well trained and the day-to-day operations are well organized by Muteti Nume, our experienced foreman. I look forward to seeing what's going on when I return tomorrow.

Super 9 ice cream for S$20.00.
In the past, Gobi purchased ice cream from one of the best ice cream makers in Singapore. The culinary team always found it challenging to influence the ice cream makers to make creamery that didn't contain any chemical stabilisers and bring the sugar content to less than 15%. Chemical stabilizers leave a metallic aftertaste which wasn't acceptable for Gobi's culinary team especially when the team had made a breakthrough in it's Poire William Creme Brulee by substituting alcohol with enzyme producing a far superior taste. Gobi made it's own vanilla ice cream since 2005. In 2015, the team expanded the creamery program producing limited quantity of sorbets using low fat cream, low sugar and most importantly no stabilizers.

AKVIS MultiBrush 5.5.1344.6870 ML Software | 26 MB
AKVIS Magnifier is an efficient tool for increasing image resolution. AKVIS Magnifier allows resizing images without noticeable loss in quality. If you attempt to blow up a picture (increase its resolution) using the standard Resize command of a photo editor, you will notice that the resulting photo is blurred and pixelated. The reason is that the input photo didn't contain enough information for the new size. AKVIS Magnifier will cope with this problem and deliver good results. Featuring advanced enlargement algorithms, Magnifier enlarges digital pictures to super-high resolution for producing stunning poster-size prints. The algorithm keeps edges smooth, sharp and clearly defined, while improving image appearance by removing unwanted noise and compression artifacts.
Portrait Enhancement Made Easy
AKVIS MultiBrush makes it easy to retouch photos and enhance portraits in Windows and Mac. Featuring a collection of healing and enhancement brushes, cloning and stamping tools, AKVIS MultiBrush helps artists, photographers and home users to perform portrait enhancement, retouch image flows and remove unwanted objects from digital pictures. Available as a stand-alone product or a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, AKVIS MultiBrush removes wrinkles, scars, scratches, and enhances imperfect skin on portraits in the most natural way. Spots, stains, and dust are easy to mask and remove.
Healing and Retouching Images
Chameleon Brush heals skin problems and removes dust, spots and scratches without affecting background texture, lighting or colors. This unique brush is similar to Adobe Healing Brush, yet offers more flexibility and customization options.
AKVIS MultiBrush is indispensable when you need to revive old black and white photos. Using a set of brushes, especially Chameleon Brush and Stamp, you can restore many old, damaged scanned images. The program can remove dust, scratches, and spots from the surface of an image. Your family photo album will have a second life.
Impressive Collages with Artistic Cloning
The Artistic Cloning mode of the Chameleon Brush tool makes AKVIS MultiBrush truly unique. This innovative mode makes it possible to clone parts of a picture in a really smart way. Sample, adjust and re-source parts you're about to multiply through the image, and create impressive collages with little effort.
Original Image Preservation
There are many more tools in AKVIS MultiBrush to retouch and enhance portraits, restore scratched pictures, and create artistic collages and compositions. All pens and brushes found in AKVIS MultiBrush feature automatic adjustments to preserve the original's color and tonal range, texture and brightness, lighting and shadows. As a result, the restored part of the image or the cloned object blends into the original background seamlessly and looks absolutely natural.
An Artist's Studio
MultiBrush can not only be used to edit photos, but also to add various creative effects and even create a picture. The program includes Artistic Brushes — a set of tools for creative people: Oil Brush, Artistic Spray, Artistic Pencil, Felt-tip Marker, Chalk and others.
With these wonderful tools, which mimic the work of actual brushes, you can decorate a photo, for example, by drawing an edge or adding some interesting detail, which will add zest to an image. You can even create a new image, made completely in oil or chalk.
Additional Features
The program is easy to use and learn, even for a novice to graphics programs. The toolbar contains two sets of brushes, the palettes help configure settings. It's possible to edit an image's channels, and work with layers (raster and artistic), which open up practically unlimited possibilities for editing digital photos. One of the most useful features of AKVIS MultiBrush is full control of the history of all actions through checkpoints which can be used to quickly return to any state of an image.

ARM Cortex-A73, ARM Mali-G71
ARM Cortex-A73 is the fastest ARM processor yet (30% faster than ARM Cortex-A72), ARM Mali-G71 is the fastest ARM GPU ever (50% faster than ARM Mali-T880). Sampling on 10nm before the end of this year, to be in flagship devices from early next year.
ARM Cortex-A73 enables more efficiency and performance for Mobile SoCs, at under 0.65mm2 per core (on 10nm FinFET process) the ARM Cortex-A73 is the smallest and most efficient 'big' ARMv8-A core. 30% faster, 30% more power efficient compared with ARM Cortex-A72. Size and efficiency improvements enhance the ability of silicon providers to use the Cortex-A73 in ARM big.LITTLE configurations. These improvements create further opportunities for designers to scale big cores along with the GPU and other IP in a single SoC. Ten partners have licensed ARM Cortex-A73 so far, including HiSilicon, Marvell and Mediatek. In addition to smartphones, ARM's latest premium IP suite offers the increased performance density and throughput required for other consumer electronics applications such as large-screen compute devices, industrial gateways, in vehicle infotainment and smart TVs.
ARM Mali-G71 GPU enables 50% better graphics performance (compared with Mali-T880), 20% better power-efficiency, 40% more performance per mm2. The Mali-G71 scales efficiently up to 32 shader cores, twice as many as the Mali-T880. The uplift means the Mali-G71 surpasses the performance of many discrete GPUs found in today's mid-range laptops. The product is also fully coherent, helping to simplify software development and efficiency. To power immersive VR and AR experiences on mobile devices and leading silicon providers including HiSilicon, MediaTek and Samsung Electronics have already taken licenses. Bifrost, the third-generation ARM GPU architecture, is the foundation of the Mali-G71. The architecture is optimized for Vulkan and other industry-standard APIs, building on innovations from the previous Utgard and Midgard architectures.

A data freeze is the capture of publication data used and produced by an Analysis Working Group and the distribution of this information via a Publication page. A data freeze allows published results to be reproduced at a later date if desired.
- For disease marker papers (a global analysis publication), the DCC is responsible for working with the AWG to put together a publication page referring to all the published data in the publication.
- For disease follow-on papers, where the TCGA Network is one of the authors, the authors have the option to ask the DCC to host a publication page referring to published DCC data. The DCC is not responsible for creating the publication page. Authors are responsible for creating a publication page using a DCC supplied template. Two weeks notification to the DCC is required prior to generating this publication page.
- For disease follow-on papers, where the TCGA Network is not one of the authors, the DCC is not involved with the publication page.
Older archives submitted to the DCC are periodically transferred to backup tapes and removed from the file system. Data freezes incorporate specific revisions of archives that may not always remain as the latest archive versions and could be rendered inaccessible for download by being removed from the file system. It is imperative to retain these archives on the file system so that publication analyses can be reproduced to match the outcome reported at the time it was published.
Capturing a data freeze involves marking which archives need to be frozen under a data freeze set and also linking the freeze set to a publication.
The relationships between publication, data freeze set and archive are described as follows:
- A publication can have one or more data freeze sets (for example, an analysis group uses sample subsets that reference different archives).
- A data freeze set can belong to one or more publications (for example, one data freeze set is used to write two papers).
- A data freeze set can span one or more disease studies (for example, lung study = LUAD + LUSC).
- A data freeze set can contain one or more archives.
- An archive can belong to one or more data freeze sets (for example, the same COAD archive is frozen for a colorectal and cross-cancer comparison data freeze).

For collaborative partnerships
Although water is a renewable resource, it is also a finite one.
Today our cost of water is incurred in its treatment, pumping, delivery, and in treatment of waste. Water rates across the country are extremely diverse and most are rising rapidly. With rising water rates, the irrigation industry is coming under the microscope as a large water user and at times a water waster ( especially when systems are observed watering in the rain) . Now is the time to act and advocate for the responsible use of water.
What is the solution?
As environmental responsibility becomes a higher priority across the country, SMART Watering Systems (SWS) has become a leader in providing environmentally sound irrigation solutions. In just under five years, we have already saved clients millions of litres of water by updating irrigation systems to include new controllers, master valves and flow sensors, tracking weather systems to adjust flow accordingly, and making recommendations for collecting and redistributing rainwater.

Autumn in the Smoky MountainsPosted by Five Oaks Riding Stables in Pigeon Forge Stables Blog | August 27, 2012
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking areas from which to view the vibrant colors of the autumn foliage. However, many tourists who are looking to see the best fall foliage the Smoky Mountains have to offer are misled by the idea that the peak foliage time, with the brightest and most concentrated colors, happens in the middle of October.
In actuality, the coloration of the leaves happens gradually in the Smoky Mountains. First, the higher elevations exhibit their fantastic display of color. The bright colors then gradually move down the slopes of the mountains and the leaves at different elevations turn. This means that in 2012, any time between September 14th and November 7th is the perfect time to enjoy the foliage.
One of the best ways to experience the brilliant foliage is to go horseback riding in the Smokies. While horseback riding, you will be able to witness gorgeous views of the surrounding landscape. You will also get the chance to experience the majesty of the autumn season in a personal, close-up manner. Horseback riding in the Smokies can truly be a magical experience, especially when the leaves are at their most beautiful.

Today was one of those days where I woke up and knew that all would be right in the universe if I could just go back to sleep. I didn't think it was going to be a bad day or anything. I just knew that all my problems would be solved if I didn't get out of bed… But, as I had work and no real reason not to get up, I hauled myself into the shower then threw on some random clothes (which involved a major fight with a pair of tights) and grumbled as I fought with my hair dryer (he won).
And then something amazing happened. I managed to pick out a decent outfit with absolutely no thought involved. What what's even more amazing is that this is probably the least expensive outfit I've ever worn! Nearly everything is from Target – even my undies, Dear Readers. Even my undies.
Dress | Mossimo @ Target
Sweater | Mossimo @ Target
Tights | Target
Boots | Steve Madden
Earrings | vintage
In case you're wondering, yes I know it's July, but it feels a lot more like autumn here in Northern California – hence the tights and the sweater. Also, apparently I work in an igloo. Tights are my way of saying, "Eff you, Julember! I'm still gonna wear this dress!"
