2010 Chrysler Sebring sedan – click above for high-res image gallery
Chrysler is so confident that you're going to go for the upcoming Sebring and Dodge Avenger that it's reportedly adding 900 workers and another shift to the Sterling Heights where the models are assembled. That's quite a turnaround, seeing how the factory was one of the eight slated for closure during Chrysler's bankruptcy. The updates for both cars include revised suspensions and interiors, with the convertible getting a Pentastar V6 to boot.
According to The Associated Press, the extra manpower will initially come from laid-off workers at Chrysler factories in Detroit, Michigan, Twinsburg, Ohio and Racine, Wisconsin. The 1,270 Sterling Heights workers currently employed at the plant have been living under a cloud of uncertainty regarding the plant's future, but with assembly of themodels secured, morale is on the mend. Perhaps the bigger question is, will the factory build the much-rumored, recently patent-submitted 200C?

Sony has launched its PlayStation Suite SDK beta in the UK, US and Japan.
The developer trial of its new software will allow PlayStation developers to port content across Android based devices such as Sony's own tablets, its Xperia Play smartphones, and the upcoming handheld PlayStation Vita.
The tech is part of a wider Sony initiative to find opportunities within the thriving tablet and social games space, which otherwise proven to be a threat to the established games hardware business.
Further on, the SDK will support PlayStation 3, and perhaps non-Sony devices based on Android. No dates have been revealed beyond the limited beta.
Earlier this month, SCE chairman Kaz Hirai said PlayStation Suite "isn't an ecosystem where we want to keep everything within the Sony family".
More on the beta can be found here. Sony says the numbers of the participants "are limited".

Implementing a Successful Printer Consolidation that saves your business money
If you are a small or medium business owner, learning how to save money in turbulent business times is critical. One way to do so is to look for methods of printer consolidation. Not only is printer consolidation generally overlooked as a way to cut business costs, but you can generally save around 65% of total printing costs just by consolidating. Many organizations have no idea how much money is being wasted by not consolidating its printing operations. In addition to decreasing hardware, paper, ink, toner, and maintenance costs, you'll also see a big slash in your electricity bill.
How to Start a Printer Consolidation Plan
To consolidate, we can follow four basic steps. These are:
Eliminating high-cost inkjet desktop printers.
Getting rid of inefficient or underused printers.
Sharing work-group printers between end-users within the business.
Replacing printers, scanners, fax machines, and copiers with multi-purpose machines.
By implementing this consolidation plan, we can generally save a great deal as small or medium business owners.By consolidating, a small business can save about $500 annually or even more. But even though this is a highly effective strategy, most organizations have no way of aggregating their total printing costs because no one individual is responsible for managing their printer sharing program. With no visibility, getting up the necessary executive sport for consolidation is nearly impossible. Printer costs are budgeted and tracked by each separate department, but instead they should be aggregated into their own budget category. IT doesn't manage printing costs — they only manage the hardware itself. Companies who fail to recognize the need for a printer consolidation initiative will be leaving a great deal of money on the table.
Barriers to Consolidation
There are 4 main barriers to printer consolidation.
Executives. Top-level management often wonders if consolidation is effective because they don't understand the real savings potential. There is no clear representation of end-user backlash and no general explanation of how they're going to save money in the long run.
Accountability. Cost-tracking responsibility is generally not assigned properly in a business. So printing costs will skyrocket and the organization has no idea because no one is accountable for printer costs.
Opacity of printing. How can an organization track cost-savings potential of printer consolidation? How do they track current printer spending? There is no clear way to keep up to date on how the company is spending money on printing, which is a major problem.
End-user needs. Unfortunately, end-users generally don't act as a key representative of implementing printer consolidation. This means that the people doing the printing — employees and management — have no way of seeing the benefits of printer consolidation, so they don't want to implement it.
Without any type of management, printing costs can become out of control. The organization does not realize how much potential there is to save money. Since IT doesn't have much reason to push consolidation efforts forward, and your executives aren't interested in doing so, either, there is no clear way to get the initiative off the ground.
Successful Implementation
However, it is possible to implement successful printer consolidation. First, we need to assign accountability for tracking printer costs to just one department. This way, costs can easily be accounted for and one department is responsible for doing so. Secondly, we need to manage inventory of printing devices carefully, keeping track of usage throughout the company, requirements for printing, and how much printing costs annually. Thirdly, we need to identity critical areas where we can eliminate or get rid of some devices that aren't being used effectively or simply use too many resources, like ink-sucking desktop printers. Fourthly, we need to educate executives on the importance of printer consolidation, communicating clearly just how much benefit there will be for the company in the long run. Finally, we need to plan for end-user resistance and look for counterarguments. For example, saving office space, only needing to operate one machine, working with just one company for service, and using multifunction machines to perform many tasks at the same time. Additionally, many machines are now cloud-based, so their usage can be tracked using basic software for management of printer resources.
Avoiding Wasted Printer Resources
Next, we'll need to convince users that printing in color or just on one side of the paper is usually unnecessary. But users are trained in bad habits, so it's hard to change easily. Unfortunately, a lot of printer resources are wasted on desktop printers, and their costs are 4 times higher than multipurpose devices that use laser ink. Desktop printers also put more demand on the hardware because they have a shorter life cycle. Multiple printer models put greater demands on consumables and don't implement the cost-effective method of consolidation. If we reduce the amount of desktop printers in the organization, we'll proportionally reduce power consumption and overall printing costs.
Environmental Benefits
Another benefit of consolidation is to the environment. Eliminating desktop printers enables the company to emit less carbon dioxide and use less power. There is less need for the same amount of paper, ink, and toner going into desktop printers. By going green, companies provide service to the community and the environment, helping the business to achieve positive social and environmental change.
Networking and Centralization
One last key of printer consolidation is networking and centralization. The supply of equipment and consumables is about 5-10% of the cost of owning a printer. Every day usage of printers, power cable, ink, toner, and paper, along with maintenance and repairs, represents the rest of the cost. By reducing the huge number of printers, we reduce the overall consumption of resources. Consolidating to as few models as possible by choosing multi function printers is key. Since printers are now network-friendly, it's easy to get them all onto one workgroup where employees can easily send print jobs.
Ultimately, companies that fail to implement a good printer consolidation plan are leaving money on the table — which is never a good business strategy. Instead of wasting valuable printer resources, employ print management software that is proportionate to your business' size and the needs of its end-users for printing. By doing so, you'll achieve ongoing cost savings, help the environment, and have a healthier, more thriving business on the whole.

Guest essay by Eric Worrall
A press release for a new study suggests milk production in Britain will drop by 18.6% if we don't mend our wicked ways. But buried in the study itself is an obvious mitigation strategy.
How climate change will affect dairy cows and milk production in the UK – new study
August 22, 2018 10.23pm AEST
The unusually hot summer of 2018 has proved challenging for farmers across the UK. Among other things, the scorching weather and lack of rain has damaged crops, and the grass used to feed farm animals too.
For our recent study, our team looked at how climate change might impact UK milk production, given what we already knew about how it affects dairy cows. In particular, we wanted to quantify the effects of heat stress on milk production.
Using 11 different climate projection models, and 18 different milk production models, we estimated potential milk loss from UK dairy cows as climate conditions change during the 21st century. Given this information, our final climate projection analysis suggests that average ambient temperatures in the UK will increase by up to about 3.5℃ by the end of the century. This means that This during the summer, in some parts of the country, will lead to significant heat stress for cows if nothing is done to alleviate the hot weather's effects.
However, climate change projections also suggest the UK would experience more heatwaves, and these would lead to even greater losses of milk. For example, the hottest area (south-east England) in the hottest year in the 2090s is predicted to result in an annual milk loss exceeding 1,300kg/cow, which is about 18.6% of annual milk yield.

The abstract of the study;
Spatially explicit estimation of heat stress-related impacts of climate change on the milk production of dairy cows in the United Kingdom
Nándor Fodor, Andreas Foskolos, Cairistiona F. E. Topp, Jon M. Moorby, László Pásztor, Christine H. Foyer
Published: May 8, 2018
Dairy farming is one the most important sectors of United Kingdom (UK) agriculture. It faces major challenges due to climate change, which will have direct impacts on dairy cows as a result of heat stress. In the absence of adaptations, this could potentially lead to considerable milk loss. Using an 11-member climate projection ensemble, as well as an ensemble of 18 milk loss estimation methods, temporal changes in milk production of UK dairy cows were estimated for the 21st century at a 25 km resolution in a spatially-explicit way. While increases in UK temperatures are projected to lead to relatively low average annual milk losses, even for southern UK regions (<180 kg/cow), the 'hottest' 25×25 km grid cell in the hottest year in the 2090s, showed an annual milk loss exceeding 1300 kg/cow. This figure represents approximately 17% of the potential milk production of today's average cow. Despite the potential considerable inter-annual variability of annual milk loss, as well as the large differences between the climate projections, the variety of calculation methods is likely to introduce even greater uncertainty into milk loss estimations. To address this issue, a novel, more biologically-appropriate mechanism of estimating milk loss is proposed that provides more realistic future projections. We conclude that South West England is the region most vulnerable to climate change economically, because it is characterised by a high dairy herd density and therefore potentially high heat stress-related milk loss. In the absence of mitigation measures, estimated heat stress-related annual income loss for this region by the end of this century may reach £13.4M in average years and £33.8M in extreme years.

Here's a thought – even if the predicted warming occurs, why not import heat tolerant dairy cattle from regions which have already had to adapt to warm conditions?
NZ heat-tolerant breed launched in US
06 Jul, 2017 04:00 AM
New Zealand's Dairy Solutionz launched its Kiwipole breed at the Tulare World Ag Expo event in California earlier this year, in partnership with STGenetics.
Slick Pathos, Slick Eros and its brother Slick Himeros are believed to be the world's first homozygous slick dairy-type bulls available for export semen sales. The bulls will transmit the heat tolerance associated with the "slick gene" to all of their daughters.
Dairy Solutionz has developed the Kiwipole through natural breeding and introgression of the Senepol slick gene. The aim is a 100 per cent Bos taurus animal that potentially has the same heat tolerance as Bos indicus breeds, but without the negative milkability traits that can be present in the Bos indicus breeds.
The slick genes better regulate body temperature while maintaining milk yield under heat stress. University of Florida research shows the cows can generate up to four litres more milk a day (Dikmen 2014) with a calving interval improvement of almost two months (Ortiz 2015) for cows under heat stress.

The scientists who wrote this handwringing climate study are aware of the potential for importing warm climate varieties of dairy cattle, and the potential of future genetic advances. Not one word of this in their press release, though they mention this possibility in their study.
… These models were used to estimate milk loss in each grid cell without taking into account the type of dairy farming system (at pasture vs indoors). It was assumed that temperature and relative humidity were the same for all systems, and that no mitigation practices were implemented. We also assumed that cattle were not significantly different from the current UK breed types, even though breeding for heat stress tolerance is one of the proposed measures to mitigate effects of climate change on dairy farms …

Availability of milk for children is a serious issue in Britain; between Britain's green policy inflated energy bills and ongoing housing affordability problems, a lot of people in Britain are having a very tough time.
Why frighten people by exaggerating the problem?

Losing at Iowa discouraged writers and coaches just enough to keep Wisconsin out of the new Top 25 rankings this week, even after UW's impressive win last Tuesday. The Badgers are second among "others receiving votes" in both polls.
Duke is your new No. 1 team (again) across the board after losses by Louisville and Indiana last week.
So the Badgers remain unranked heading into a very important week that can reveal whether their upset win at Indiana was just a nice win, or an indication that the team is ready to contend for a Big Ten title.
AP Top 25 Poll | USA Today Coaches Poll
Wisconsin first takes on No. 13 Michigan State with first place on the line this Tuesday at 6 p.m. The Spartans (16-3, 5-1) Big Ten) hold a half-game edge over Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana (all 4-1 in conference). After that, the Badgers face No. 12 Minnesota (15-3, 3-2) at 1 p.m. on Saturday. The high level of difficulty is offset somewhat by playing both teams at the Kohl Center.
The stretch is also integral to determining the pecking order in the nation's top conference. However, it comes at a tough time for Wisconsin. The Badgers still will be without reserve center Frank Kaminsky, who is recovering from a nasty poke to his left eye, while backup point guard George Marshall is also ill and questionable for Tuesday.
Minnesota is the top offensive rebounding team in the country. Michigan State is strong inside with Derrick Nix and Adreian Payne. Therefore, redshirt sophomore center Evan Anderson is getting reps with the starters and top reserves in practice. Though Kaminsky's rebounding numbers are average, Anderson certainly cannot duplicate his outside shooting. That exchange compromises Bo Ryan's strategy of stretching the defense with a capable big man.
Looking at efficiency margins statistics and plus/minus standings, Wisconsin is very much in the thick of the race regardless of the hiccup in Iowa City. Even though UW plays at the slowest pace in the conference by far, the team's efficiency margin is +0.13 thanks to the Big Ten's most efficient defense. Additionally, with two road wins already, the Badgers are still in the top tier for plus/minus (at +2), meaning they have plenty of opportunities to move up in the standings by holding serve at home.
That is why this week is so important. When tournament time arrives, the Spartans and Gophers will be the ones jockeying with the Badgers for the better seeding.
We know that polls matter not to Ryan -- he asked a reporter after the Indiana game how high the Hoosiers were ranked. Yet if the Badgers can pull off even one of these "upsets" this week (UW is actually favored in both by Ken Pomeroy), you'll see Wisconsin occupying its traditional place in the Top 25 next week.

Cloud seeding has not been placed on any Agenda of any December MCWRA meeting. My guess (and that is all it is) is due to letters sent by CPOA, BSVFB, and moi, as well as inquiries by the USFS and Dave Potter's office, and possible inquiries (unverified) by Cal-Trans and NOAA.
The next MCWRA Board of Directors is now Jan 25, 2010. I would advise keeping an eye on the MCWRA website
I will try to stay on top of this issue, and continue to use this blog to keep you informed. Weather reports for today, Saturday, 12/12 continue on the post below.

Richard Matheson's Hell House popped up in my Amazon recommendations after I browsed horror classics for my October reading. I dropped the others on my list in its favor because Richard Matheson's I Am Legend is, well, legendary. What Dreams May Come is also decent (don't quote me; I read it too long ago to fully recommend now). As for Hell House… not what I expected. It's suitably eerie, suspenseful, and intense, but it has a weird 1970's pulp-porn component with an uncomfortable level of sexual violence and humiliation. It's over the top in a way that verges on camp, but for something to be campy, it ought to be a little funny and this isn't.
On to the good stuff. Like Hill House, Hell House features a scientific exploration into supernatural events. Dr. Barrett, along with his wife, Edith, and two mediums (one active, Florence; one repressed, Fischer) hopes to crack into and destroy the vicious power which animates Hell House. The house sports an impressive list of paranormal activities and an intense body count. The windows have been bricked over, the power is sporadic, and it's populated by a cruel force which smashes furniture and possesses people. Or is it? Dr. Barrett intends to prove that the house is a maelstrom of energy which is only responding to the presence of the two mediums. To him, there are no ghosts, the violence is a product of Florence's desire to prove herself as a medium and connect with an actual presence in the house.
It's a great set up. There is a lot of supernatural…stuff, but the mystery of what's fueling the madness is enough to keep the pages turning. Early on, Matheson has some tongue-in-cheek awareness when the power goes out (because the power has to go out):
"Obviously the generator is too old," Barrett said.
"Generator?" Edith looked surprised again. "There's no electrical service here?"
"There aren't enough houses in the valley to make it worth the effort," Barrett answered.
"How could they put in a telephone, then?"
"It's a field telephone," Barrett said. He looked into the house. "Well, Mr. Deutsch will have to provide us with a new generator, that's all."
"You think that's the answer, do you?" Fischer sounded dubious. (31)
(I wouldn't get my hopes up about that generator.)
Soon after, a phonograph goes off randomly with Belasco's voice (Belasco was the house's former insane owner) welcoming them to his home. The phonograph distracts the group long enough for Matheson to write this shiver-inducing passage:
"Then, again, maybe [Belasco] was invisible," Fischer continued. "He claimed that power. Said that he could will the attention of a group of people to some particular object, and move among them unobserved."
"I doubt that," Barrett said.
"Do you?" Fischer's smile was strange as he looked at the phonograph. "We all had our attention on that a few moments ago," he said. "How do you know he didn't walk right by us while we were listening?" (39)
As for how Belasco rotted the house so thoroughly, he encouraged people to follow their vices. It started with orgies, but moved on from there:
"Still, it wasn't exclusively sex. The principle of excess was applied to every phase of life here. Dining became gluttony, drinking turned to drunkenness. Drug addiction mounted. And, as the physical spectrum of his guests was perverted, so, too, was their mental."
"People stayed here months, then years. The house became their way of life. A way of life that grew a little more insane each day. Isolated from the contrast of normal society, the society in this house became the norm. Total self-indulgence became the norm. Debauchery became the norm. Brutality and carnage soon became the norm." (58)
The house's norm eventually included necrophilia and cannibalism—betcha didn't see that coming! Needless to say, a very ill force haunts the house.
Altogether, I'd say this is a great read. Matheson's writing is clear and powerful. He leans on a few clichés, but does so in a slightly self-aware way that prevents a reader from rolling their eyes too hard. The characters can be frustrating: Dr. Barrett is rigid in his belief that THERE ARE NO GHOSTS; Florence, the house's plaything, is sweet and devout no matter what happens; Dr. Barrett's wife is consistently devoted; and Fischer, who should be the most interesting, spends his time shrouding himself from the house's influence. With Matheson's flare for writing jump-scares and gore, the story feels like it can go anywhere; it's not hemmed-in by a reader's expectation for a happy ending.
HOWEVER, some of the sexual violence is unsettling. Really disturbing. So whatever this blog's equivalent of a "parental warning" is should be slapped across the front of this book. By the end, Matheson is driving for sacrilegious shock value, so if you're squeamish or prudish, I can't recommend this book.
Overall: 4.4 It's made unflinchingly intense with moments of ridiculous camp, but also with moments of sexual violence and humiliation that will cross a line for some readers. It's the rest of the book that's earning the 4.4 rating. If you take out the pulp-porn, this book is what I'd expected from The Haunting of Hill House.
Translation: Read it.


text: # Unit tests I now take unit tests for granted and can no longer program effectively without them. Code without unit tests seems unfinished. But it took me a while to reach this position. You can't simply order developers to begin writing effective tests. They have to believe in them first. My motivation could be summarized as "make it hard for others to break your code." * What is a unit test? * Here's one useful definition I've seen: Unit tests are written by developers for the benefit of developers. In contrast, system tests are written by testers, to automate their requirements as representatives of users. This is a useful distinction so far as it goes. A unit test is usually written from the inside out, starting with the smallest possible units of code. A unit test guarantees the integrity of some self-sufficient unit of code, usually a class, or perhaps just a single function. A unit test is often invasive, looking inside a class, and asserting that its state remains valid as it is exercised. A user cannot write such a test. A system test, on the other hand, is written from the outside in, starting with the interfaces visible to the user. A unit test increases the coarseness of bugs, eliminating the fine-grained bugs that are hardest for a user to analyze, being buried too deeply. In addition to unit tests and system tests, we could also distinguish integration tests. These test middle-level interaction between different independent subsystems, or interactions between classes from different sources. These are less common, harder to write, and perhaps less essential. Yet a few of these tests can go a long way, especially when the subsystems do not have unit tests of their own. You may also have regression tests that that compare new results against past results. These tests have their place, but they are closer to a system test. You still need tests of your logic and design. Regression tests require more maintenance and are more likely to be discarded. Data may change, but the consistency of your design should not. In the end, I have not found it necessary for the test harness or framework to distinguish these different kinds of tests. All are invoked in the same way, on the same occasions. All are run frequently and should never break. * Ground rules * There aren't many essential rules to managing unit tests. Any test is better than none. But a test must be run to be useful. Tests should be an integral part of any build. Tests should run immediately after compilation, and if a test fails, the build has failed. Anyone downloading our code and building it should run the tests by default. We can even make it possible for a client to run all the tests, to look for bugs that depend on the environment. Of course, a failed test isn't really as bad as a failed compilation. A compilation error prevents others from compiling their code, and a broken unit test will only affect those using the tested code. But what if other developers are depending on that functionality right now? They still won't be able to trust any of their new work. The compilation might as well be broken. Kent Beck points out that a broken test means you still have an unknown amount of work to do. You might need a minute to fix the problem, or days. You might have a fundamental flaw in your design. My projects for the past few years have striven for continuous integration. Small frequent changes are checked into the repository all day long, and builds occur almost continuously. As soon as anyone decides the code is better than it was, the change is committed. We frequently update our personal working copies with all changes made by others. Some of us do repeated clean builds on our machines every day. This way we guarantee that all our changes are compatible with all others. Here are my preferred rules: -- o Run all tests before you check in code. o If you break a test and can't fix it right away, undo your changes. o Do not leave a test broken overnight. o You are not allowed to disable an existing test. _ I think most developers understand these rules. If they have written tests for their code, they don't enjoy seeing them broken, even for a while. It is sometimes easy to blame the test. If the coder has changed the behavior of the code, then the tests also need to be modified to redefine the expected behavior. It may be discouraging at times to see how often the tests break. But we realize how much worse it would be if so many bugs went unnoticed. * Testing in a framework * First of all a test framework should not get in your way. A test framework should make it easy to add and run tests, not become an burden in itself. Unit tests are expected to be relatively fast, but a slow test is better than no test. My last project took 10 minutes to compile, and over an hour to run all the tests. It is useful to have tests in a hierarchy, so that you can test only those packages you are currently modifying. A test framework usually runs tests in-process, but not necessarily. Each test is run inside a sandbox with a known environment. A single failed test does not prevent other tests from being run. After running all tests, the framework can also check for leaked resources, unfreed memory, unterminated threads, and open files. A test asserts the correctness of code. A failure causes some error condition that cannot be ignored. You can call an assert method defined by your test framework if you like. You should also be able to use the assert defined by your language, or to throw an uncaught exception. A test should never require a human being to examine some output and approve. Tests run silently unless they fail. Do not write to standard output unless you have an error to report. You might obscure an error message from some unknown library. A silent test is a happy test. If you have a logging framework, then you can selectively turn off informative messages while the tests run. Some java programmers put their test code in a class main method. Some prefer separate classes in separate packages. Some prefer to extend classes from the junit framework. In my builds, any of these classes can be added to a list of similar tests, depending on how they should be invoked. The developers do not have to write any complicated hooks or understand a complicated framework. If your C++ programmers prefer separate executables for each test, then they should be able to add the names of those executables to a list. If the exit code is non-zero, then the test has failed. Above all, don't let the awkwardness of the test framework become a excuse to avoid writing tests. Be tolerant and support as many styles of tests as you can. * xUnit * One very popular framework is the xUnit set of standard interfaces. There is jUnit for java and cppUnit for C++. This framework essentially makes it easier to build a tree of tests. A developer can easily select and run a single branch of the tests. I like this framework as an outermost integrator of tests. Individual tests can remain ignorant of the framework if you provide simple wrappers and bridges to the framework. The xUnit framework seems simplest for languages that allow runtime type inspection. In Java, your test class derives from a single TestCase superclass. You add an arbitrary number of methods that begin with the letters "test". You add the name of the jUnit test class to a list and you are done. The framework loads each class, inspects it, then creates an instance for each time it runs a "test" method. If all tests share a certain setup, you can define a "setUp" or "tearDown" method. (I rarely find these necessary.) The cppUnit framework looks heavier than the jUnit and not quite as functional. But C++ can still support a runtime inspection of symbol names in a platform-dependent way. The first version of the jUnit framework was just a few hundred lines of code. It isn't hard to write a framework of your own, but there may not be any reason to. Just keep it simple. Kent Beck and Eric Gamma give an excellent example of jUnit testing in "Test Infected: Programmers Love Writing Tests": http://members.pingnet.ch/gamma/junit.htm * Organizing tests * Many begin by arguing about where tests should go in the code tree, and how the files should be named. A consistent naming convention can make it possible for the framework to discover and run all new tests, without a separate list. Otherwise, I don't think naming matters much. I personally prefer the test code to be as close as possible to the implementation. If the tests are short, they can go into the same file as the implementation. If the tests are longer they can go into a separate file in the same directory. If the tests entail new dependencies that should not be required by the implementation, then you may want to put the tests in a subdirectory called "test." Don't let the tests get so far from the implementation that they are overlooked by a developer who modifies the code. * Getting started * Even if you do not currently run tests as a part of your build, you probably have some tests already checked into your repository, written for someone's personal use. Start with those. Your framework should make it easy to add tests that were not written for the framework. It seems to help if one developer has the responsibility for trying to integrate existing tests and making it easier for others to add new tests. You'll have a large amount of existing code without tests. You'll never have time to add tests for everything, but you probably won't need to. Your first priority should be to protect code with many dependencies. Test things you are worried about breaking. There is no need to test a set/get combination if it only saves and returns a single member variable. Add tests any time you modify code, yours or someone else's. If you aren't sure what the code does, make a guess, and assert you are correct. If you are correct, check it into the permanent tests. You'll know when your assumption changes. You will be able to modify the code without breaking that existing behavior. * Try writing tests first * The best tests are those that are written when the code is written. Tests help you improve your design and your API's. Try writing some tests first, before you write the implementation. Think like a user of your class, and make your API convenient for that user. What inputs will be most convenient? How should steps be combined or broken apart? Make tests that use your class in a typical way. Then decide how your code should respond to bad data, parameters out of range, or with zero length. Add tests that assert the correct behavior. Write tests that ensure errors generate the correct exceptions, by catching the expected exception and complaining if it is not thrown. When all your tests finally pass, you are done. You won't be distracted by features that you don't need. Your API's will reflect how they are used rather than how they are implemented. See Martin Fowler's book on "Refactoring" for great examples of how testing improves design: http://martinfowler.com/ http://www.refactoring.com/ * Unit tests for GUI's * GUI's are indeed a special problem, but with a very satisfying solution. Everyone has seen products that record mouse movements and button events. The tests are very tedious to maintain. They often depend on specific pixel locations or a particular layout. At best they depend on the existence of specific components, without specifying a layout. If you ever replace a radio box by a pulldown, the tests will still break. Instead, test the responses to GUI events, not the way the events are generated. To do so, you will almost be forced to improve the separation of your GUI code from your logic and underlying model. This is both a pro and con. Your code will improve, but you can't add unit tests to existing code until it does improve. Put your non-trivial functionality behind an API that does as much as possible without involving GUI code. If the user pushes a button, you can call a method that is used by no other component but that button. The method may contain only a few lines of code, but that's okay. Someday, you may want to call it for a different event, or with a different kind of GUI. Call these high-level methods from your unit tests as if they had been called from the GUI, in response to a typical series of events. Confirm that the state changes as expected. You won't be testing that your GUI calls the correct methods, but that is not where most of your bugs will hide. Remember, your unit tests are meant to increase the coarseness of your bugs. You're putting the remaining bugs at a high level where a user can understand and test them. You might consider making your GUI scriptable. I worked on one product with a GUI in a separate process from servers that did all the important work. GUI events caused TCL commands to be sent through a socket to the server. We could record these commands and save them to a script. The script was easily executed as a part of the tests, and also easily modified by hand. See this example for how it feels to develop a unit test for a GUI: http://www.xp123.com/xplor/xp0001/ * Why should developers like tests? * Tests define the problem you are solving. Tests limit the scope of what your code is expected to do. If you haven't tested something, you aren't promising that it will work. Tests provide documentation that never grows stale. You have example code of exactly how your code can and should be used. Tests are a warning to other developers that this much functionality must be guaranteed and protected. Tests protect you against code rot and give you the courage to make further changes, knowing that what you have already done will stay done. Recently I noticed that I was consistently spending more time writing my tests than my implementations. Many might think that this makes me more inefficient than before. Yet, I am spending much less time overall on implementation, especially if I count the reduction in time for stabilization and bug fixing. * How do you measure progress? * The first time your team adds unit tests systematically to the build, you will be unable to quantify how much it will help you meet your schedule. If you practice shipping your code in shorter iterations, you should be able to measure an improvement. When you agree on the features to be added over the next couple weeks, measure the amount of time you spent stabilizing these features, once your functionality was considered "code complete." This part of each cycle essentially detects bugs that were improperly tested before. If stabilization does not shorten with each iteration, then tests are not yet helping. If you ever see bugs recurring, after they were fixed once, then clearly unit tests are being neglected. * Peer pressure * Some of your developers will resist for a long time, and some will resist forever. Ordering them to write unit tests will just result in resentment and worthless tests. Peer pressure is much more effective. Eventually one of these guys will break someone else's test. It will no longer be possible for them to argue that the tests don't help. A bug was discovered almost immediately after it was introduced. Your enthusiastic coders should offer to show others how to write a test. They should be able to demonstrate how easy it is. If they help fix someone else's bug, they can leave behind a little test to ensure that the bug stays fixed. It will also serve as an example and a reminder. Bill Harlan, 2004

Hello Magdalena,
Válvula de escape means: safety valve, cut-out valve, discharge valve, escape valve, exhaust valve.
La frase: Yo era elegible para la válvula de escape (I was eligible for the escape valve) ... does not make any sense.

Hi magdalena! I haven't heard the phrase before but "I was eligible for the "valvula de escape" (escape valve)" sounds to me like "I was eligible for the escape clause' in a legal context. I would assume your interpretation is correct.
**However, since Xóchitl L says it doesn{t make any sense then I suggest you wait for one of our legal translators to give an opinion.

Hola Magdalena,
I agree with you and Vicente about "escape clause'' in a legal context, since the definition makes complete sense.
A clause in a contract that specifies the conditions under which the promisor is relieved of liability for failure to meet the terms of the contract.
BUT the term "válvula de escape" makes no sense to me. I went to a Law School in Mexico and never heard of it. There is the possibility that it is a new legal term.

Maybe if you post the whole paragraph, we can figure out why such an absurd phrase is in that sentence. You need the antecedent of válvula de escape, i.e. the first time this phrase appears in the doc. or something that relates to it.
Further to the meanings of válvula de escape provided by Xóchi, there is a figurative or idiomatic meaning to the phrase:
válvula de escape Actividad que permite a una persona salir de una situación aburrida o librarse de un trabajo excesivo o problema.
However, this meaning does not seem to fit a legal frame. As I said, send some more context before we discard it entirely.
Also, elegible is misspelled there, which is very rare for a legal doc. Could there also be a possibility that it is claúsula en lugar de válvula?

This might not be a legal document. The use of first person sounds more like a letter or memo or statement written by an individual so the document and phrase may be informal.
The term "escape valve" is common in English and can be used informally to describe a form of relief from the pressure of a situation or obligation.
It is similar to "escape route".
If the subject "document" is not actually a legal document and the writer was attempting to express that he had an option to get out of a situation then the sentence makes sense to me, in English anyway, even if it is not the best choice of words.
Hello and thank you all.
I was able to find the phrase in the gentleman's Court paperwork. I will quote part of the sentence here: "The defense took the position that the Proffer was satisfactory for
"safety valve" purposes". It sounds strange but.....................
Again, thank you all..We live and learn.
Well, this is the legal forum, so I'm under the assumption that we are dealing with a legal document, not a word processor document or the like. And the post title is legal phrase.
I have never heard escape valve in the figurative meaning in English, as I stated it for the Spanish válvula de escape in my previous post.
As usual, Magadalena is the only one that can shed some light in the matter...
Will the mistery be solved? Stay tunned ...
I have seen a number of posts in this forum that were not of a legal nature.
Magadalena: Thanks for the additional information but how did you come up with the sentence " YO ERA ELEJIBLE PARA LA "VALVULA DE
The term safety valve also makes sense in the sentence "The defense took the position that the Proffer was satisfactory for
"safety valve" purposes", which I would take to mean that the proffer provided a fallback position.
For some reason the response did not go through.
Thank you Vicente for your responses. The words that needed translation came from a petition that the gentleman is making. He made in essence a rough draft in spanish and it needed translation.
When I made the request I had forgotten that I had copies of the Court proceedings. I went to them and read the part that was consistent with the spanish wording..It is indeed SAFETY VALVE.
We live and learn every day.
Thanks again.

Carpet Cleaning Norwalk, CA – To maintain the quality of your carpet and ensure the proper care, it is important to schedule professional carpet cleaning one time every year. The standard recommendation from carpet manufacturers is once every 6-12 months. This will help remove deep dirt and restore the resiliency of the carpet fibers.
You should not wait until your carpet appears very dirty on the surface. The dirt on the surface is an indication that there are several pounds of dirt underneath. The dirt underneath is what does the most damage. Deeper dirt wears down carpet fibers and causes colors to fade. You cannot remove deep dirt with routine vacuuming and cleaning which is why you want to hire Norwalk carpet cleaners each year.
Local carpet cleaning companies in Norwalk are able to extract the deeper bacteria and soils from carpet using professional solutions and equipment unavailable for retail purchase. A good company will have years of training and experience in providing exceptional service to their customers.
You want to be sure the carpet cleaner you choose is familiar with your carpet construction and how to handle the needs of your home. Some services will use steam cleaning or chemicals for their process which is a less healthy cleaning method. The process of steam cleaning saturates carpet pads and requires soaps and toxins for removal of deeper dirt. Neither are good for your carpet or the health of your home.
Your best choice for carpet cleaning in Norwalk is Amazing Care Chem-Dry. We offer all-natural products and solutions safe your carpet and your home. Our process contains no soap and no chemicals and requires very little moisture to deliver superior results. You will love the service you receive from Amazing Care Chem-Dry!
Our carpet cleaning process begins with a consultation where we explain our service and identify potential problem areas and stains. We then deep vacuum your carpet to remove surface-level particles and soils before we apply our proprietary cleaning solution, The Natural®.
The Natural® is green-certified and chemical-free. You will find The Natural® on the FDA GRAS list and it is 100% safe for babies, pets and adults too! The Natural® uses "the power of carbonation" to lift deeper dirt to the surface of your carpet where it is exposed to our powerful Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) cleaning system.
HCE extracts dirt, solutions and allergens from the carpet and transfers it to disposal tanks via powerful suction hoses. HCE features The Carpet & Rug Institute Seal of Approval and is recommended by most carpet manufacturers.
Learn more about our carpet cleaning and rug cleaning and read about the additional services we offer throughout Norwalk, Long Beach and surrounding communities in Los Angeles County:
Amazing Care Chem-Dry upholstery cleaning features the same cleaning methods and solutions as our World Famous carpet cleaning.
We clean your furniture without excessive amounts of moisture and we don't use chemicals or soap either! The process is healthier for your furniture and it removes over 98% of allergens from upholstery too.
First, we vacuum the upholstery using a handheld tool. This removes dust, dirt and pet hair from the fabrics and upholstery on your furniture.
Then we mist The Natural® onto the furniture and cushions. The Natural® permeates the upholstery and pulls embedded particles, allergens and soils to the surface. Then we use handheld extraction tools to suction the dirt and germs off of the furniture for a healthy clean you will love!
Your furniture dries fast too! You will be able to relax comfortably on your chairs or couch within one or two hours after we leave.

I was just painting ice cream cones the other day! Are we both thinking of summer? Sweet treats and no snow? Well, no snow for me, not even a sno-cone but I think I just scored the last carton of Peppermint Stick ice cream in mid-Michigan so score one for me! (And yes, my cone had a little peppermint on it!) I like your quadruple-decker. Dream BIG!
I love seeing all these steps that lead to the beautiful fiished product! You make it look so easy Jenna!
Your ice cream cone has me eagerly anticipating spring! Love your pretty ice cream, no guilt……..See you tomorrow.
I know I sound like a broken record, but I love your use of color. This ice cream cone would look so darling in a little girl's room. Enjoy your weekend.
Jenna, how fun to enjoy an ice cream cone without calories! What fun items in your shop and they make perfect gifts!
You make it looks so easy, but I can't draw a lick, ha. That ice cream cone sure looks tatsy though. 😊
Jenna, Love your ice cream cones! It's ice cream weather today with a temperature of 78 today! All the poor plants are going to be so confused 🙂
So, so sweet…literally and figuratively!!! I want ice cream now, but I'm trying to lose "recuperation weight" so that I can fit my Spring clothes. Your talents abound, girl! You truly have a gift!

Well, here I am, your humble beer writer, coming to you today after…a week. I'm not going to sugarcoat it: unless you were the most ardent supporter of President Donald Trump, you likely found something in the first week of his presidency that upset you. Some friends of mine who routinely voted Republican attended protests this weekend. Some who are inclined further left of them felt like they were on a nine-day-long trek into the Event Horizon of a powerful black hole where each of your cells are stretched to oblivion.
Initially, when I set out to write this wrap-up, I intended it to be generally politics free, that is, to not allow anything political to dominate the discussion. But things have changed. There has been an ongoing discussion about politics in beer this week. From Good Beer Hunting making a stand they will be vocal about their particular views to Bryan Roth making competing cases as to why that can be good or bad for business. To investors backing out of a Sacramento brewery after an owner attacked the Women's March and the seemingly endless array of offensive, crude beer labels. To lagging sales of Yuengling post-Trump support. And changing regulations. So many changing regulations.
Beer, in essence, is politics, from start to finish. From who you support and how you support them to how you conduct your business, there are constant moments in which breweries must assess their own standing within their communities. And with more breweries now than in the history of the country, the chances that a brewery will bump up against opposition to something increases by the day. Here, read the science on it, with a hat tip to Beervana.
So how do you navigate an endless minefield? You could keep quiet about everything, but that is as much a statement of politics as is being loud and proud about a particular subject. You could become risk-averse in marketing, but you risk failing to stand out in an ever-crowded square (though, in the opinion of this bloggity blog blogger, being clever and generally inoffensive isn't as difficult as it's made out to be).
So, you do as you have to. Know your audience, but know that in a marketplace that values authenticity above other intangibles, if you fail to express support or derision over something it will likely hurt your brand. So, you might as well have the courage to speak up and speak out in the most appropriate way possible. It may be the biggest risk/reward gamble you can make as a brand. You are, as a brewer, part of your community, in some cases whether you like it or not. Make it count. And lord, don't issue a non-apology after your community gets after you. You might as well just own it in that case. After all, the beer aisle has become a record store.
Now, contemplate this pitcher of flavor as we move on to other things.
Wait wait, that wasn't a long enough interlude from that essay. Here, watch one of the prettiest shots I've ever seen.
The National Museum of American History has hired a brewing historian, Theresa McCulla, who has bonafides that include a PhD in American Studies from Harvard and a culinary degree. You may have heard about this position if you had any knowledge of beer whatsoever and your friends sent it to you. Too bad none of you suckers ever had a chance, considering her resume'.
Here is a list of the 25 most important American craft beers ever brewed. It's a list, so feel free to be mad online about it. Also, you you might want to check on that case of the #1 beer you have sitting around.
Say goodbye to bitter, old-school IPAs, Beervana says.
There are lots of reasons to look for new beers in the coming months.
Oskar Blues has announced its own priority membership reserve society, in a trend I only see as increasing both in number and scope from here forward. Stock up on those vintage and reserve bottles from your favorite brewery now, you never know when they might get paywalled.
I'll bet you like Brettanomyces. Here is some pretty serious scientific analysis on what exactly that yeast is and what it does to beer.
Wild-fermented ciders are looking to get a piece of the sour beer pie.
Like peanut butter? Well, here are eight beers to drink that have that ingredient. Hate peanut butter? Well, go away. Allergic to peanut butter? I'm very sorry.
Finally, I still don't know why people drink beer in the shower, but here's an ode to the practice anyway. I don't know, I guess I might as well try this since the world is going to end soon enough or something.
Stay tuned for next week(ish) when your humble Void writer attempts to get back on some sort of decent schedule for this wrap. As always, thanks for reading.

There is a campaign underway to help consumers understand the risks and benefits of selected procedures commonly used in care. The Choosing Wisely campaign is a collaboration of more than 70 professional organizations whose intent is to bring best evidence into the public spotlight in order to help consumers take a more active role in decisions that affect their health and safety. By focusing on the patient-clinician relationship, the goals of this national initiative are as follows. "Choosing Wisely aims to promote conversations between clinicians and patients by helping patients … [Read more...]
Choosing Wisely: Are We Capable as a Nation?
Webster defines decision as "a choice that you make about something after thinking about it: the result of deciding." In healthcare, we should be so lucky to have clear language around terms that are driving clinical care today! Patient engagement and shared decision-making are two terms that are used repeatedly but rarely with a description of what the terms mean or the related expectations for improving outcomes. But we are allocating time and resources to initiatives with these labels and expecting care delivery to be transformed. Decisions in Care Sometimes decisions are fun. … [Read more...]
21st Century Partnerships
Clinical Linkages' blog, 21st Century Patients, is resurfacing after a yearlong hiatus. The new format will emphasize the critical importance of supporting the clinician-patient partnership today. Healthcare is in the midst of dramatic changes that are placing considerable pressure on the clinician-patient partnership. Without effective partnering between patients and clinicians, healthcare becomes an impersonal space despite sophisticated technology, medications, and a retail approach of customer service. Patients, families, and clinicians alike recognize that this undercurrent is … [Read more...]
Ebola: America Driven by Fear
Ebola is a nasty disease. But ignorance is worse. If you doubt this statement, take look at film clips from BBC World on the struggle to bring calm, through the use of the evidence, to the many frightened people in West Africa. Why, in America, where we have access to a 24/7 news cycle, has fear taken control of our brains? A recent Wall Street Journal article is a case in point. The article is about the nurse who volunteered to care for people with Ebola in Sierra Leone. It is a disheartening look at what misinformation does to people. It drives politicians to mandate rules so their … [Read more...]
Ebola: Are We Relying on EHR to Tell the Story?
Ebola — this word has its own hashtag, millions of tweets, hundreds if not thousands of articles in the past month, and the power to frighten many people. Fear is playing a large role in how this disease is perceived, which is a poor foundation for managing its spread. Communicating Key Information Electronic health records (EHR) are essential tools in clinical care. When written words in an electronic record become the primary way information is shared among busy clinical staff, I believe we inject increased risk into clinical care. The nation is following the Dallas case almost minute … [Read more...]
Are We Returning to a Life Before Penicillin?
Life before antibiotics is a scary thought, but a clarion call for behavior change has come from the Center for Disease Control (CDC). We are on the verge of an era without antibiotics to cure infection. Dr. Srinivasan calls this a "post antibiotic era". To appreciate the staggering implications of this message, imagine the outcome of the following two scenarios without effective antibiotics. Your 8 year-old daughter is playing with the cat and suddenly the cat bites and scratches her. Despite carefully cleaning the wound and making a quick trip to the urgent care for antibiotic coverage … [Read more...]
CMS Requirements Will Be "Trick" for Hospital Budgets this October
October means fall leaves, Halloween goblins…and a new "spook" if your local hospital is one that will receive less money from the government. This new Halloween treat will last for a full year however, not just one night. The new healthcare law requires CMS to monitor quality and safety in hospitals and to rank order their results. The legal mandate is to deny payment to hospitals that fall in the bottom quarter of this list. They are designated worst performing and will lose money as a result. A New Beginning or a Cliff? The law has mandated pay for performance based on three categories: … [Read more...]
A Revolution is Coming for 21st Century Patients
Colonists and Patients July 4th is for celebrating America's independence from England. We picnic, enjoy fireworks, and watch parades…its great fun. The Revolutionary war was anything but fun. It was gut-wrenching marches in stifling heat or blowing snow often with only rags tied on the soldiers' feet because the boots were worn through. It was unthinkable that a people as varied in interests, wealth, and skills could come together for their desire to be free and beat the most powerful army in the world, but they did. Then the real work began, creating a government that would work and live … [Read more...]
Would You Remodel a Building Without a Blueprint?
Not likely. If you have been through a remodeling experience in your organization then you know it takes time, clear communication and above all a plan to enact the vision of the new facilities. Having been through this process, I recall the angst living amidst changes in the environment. In fact, there was more than one meeting where frustrations aired and the group had to be re-centered on the intended vision/outcome. Whew! Adopting EBP without a Blueprint? Evidence based practice needs a blueprint to work. It is one thing to say we need to translate the current evidence guideline on … [Read more...]
Listen! Say Our Patients
Patient engagement is the new mantra. Several posts on 21st Century Patients blog have addressed this phrase and the confusion surrounding the term. Likewise, there are can be no defined outcomes for "engagement". Although a meaningless phrase it is here to stay – subject to various interpretations and possibly used as a weapon for someone's benefit. I suggest we step back a moment and really look at our clinical care areas for the presence of "engagement". What do you see? Where are the eyes and ears? Perhaps you can identify with the scene in the Emergency Department of this story in … [Read more...]

I'm all about saving money (as well as time) and part of that is using what you have instead of just buying more. It not only saves money since I don't throw out a bunch of food that has gone bad, but it also helps me get more creative with my meals. You won't usually find me going to the grocery store to buy recipe ingredients. Instead I look over recipes and compare the ingredients to things in my fridge or pantry.
If it's in the ballpark, I'll give it a try. If I have a little bit of something leftover, I'll toss it in and see how it turns out. The other night The Kid wanted fries or hash browns. I didn't have potatoes, but I did have sweet potatoes. I grabbed those along with the leftover adobo sauce from the Mexican bowls. I searched the pantry for something that made me think "Mexican" and ended up with black beans and cumin.
Suddenly I had a spicy sweet potato hash. It took all of 15 minutes from start to finish. I added a side of steamed green beans and stirred in a protein – dinner was served! Should we call them hash oranges since The Kid wanted hash browns? 😉
Spicy Sweet Potato Hash (AKA Hash Oranges)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium sweet potato (~280g), cut into small cubes
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup fresh green beans (~115g), cut into pieces
- 1 Tbsp adobo sauce
- 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 roma tomato (~88g), diced
Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Swirl the pan to coat it and add the sweet potato cubes. Cook for about 3 minutes and stir them a bit so they start to cook evenly. Sprinkle in the oregano, cumin, cinnamon, and garlic.
Cook for another 1 minute and pour in the 1/2 cup of water. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes until the potatoes soften. While the potatoes are cooking, steam the green beans in the microwave. After 5 minutes, remove the lid from the potatoes and add the green beans, adobo sauce and black beans. Heat for about 2 minutes until warmed.
Remove from heat. Toss with a protein like grilled chicken, if desired. Divide equally into bowls and top with the diced tomato.
Makes 4 servings at approximately 191 calories each (without the optional protein) – 6g protein, 35g carbs, and 3g fat.

Building Design
"But I thought you guys did utility work?" We get that question a lot. When you build water and wastewater treatment plants, you can also build other buildings. In fact, we can point to numerous banks, administration buildings, maintenance buildings, and fire stations across the state of Indiana that were designed by Midwestern. We can assist with new construction, rehab, plan review, and inspection services. We also routinely partner with quality architects for joint ventures.

On Monday, June 25, Canada's Minister of Health, The Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor announced PREVNet will receive $550,000 in research funding to support an initiative aimed at addressing dating violence and promoting healthy relationships.
From March 2018 to March 2020, Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) funding will support four PREVNet projects designed to build educators' capacity to address dating violence while on the job, as well as in specific cultural settings in provinces across the country. In a 2015 Canadian study, 51 per cent of victims aged 15 to 19 years, and 46 per cent of victims aged 20 to 24 years, were victimized by a current dating partner. These age groups were also more often victimized by former dating partners.
Projects will cover critical subject areas, including: risk factors for gender-based violence in adolescent relationships; mental health; communication; conflict resolution; personal and interpersonal boundaries; victim blaming attitudes; the role of media and social norms; dominance, power, and privilege; the role of peers and of media; and more.
"PREVNet is pleased that the Public Health Agency of Canada has invested in this innovative project. Together with partners from across the country and across sectors, we are excited to co-create with educators the tools that they need to promote healthy relationships among youth that are free from abuse and violence," said Dr. Wendy Craig, Scientific Co-Director of PREVNet.

Context 24 has ended. I am home. Not quite recovered. And am now processing all that happened over the weekend.
On a whole, the convention was a successful one for me and the bizness (Apex). Sold some books. Promoted the press. Sat on four panels and shared my kernels of editing/publishing wisdom. Made a handful of awesome new friends. Met some important people. Networked.
* I finally got to meet Seanan McGuire after writing her many checks for her stories and poetry (Seanan is at least 2.5 times as lovely and charming as you might imagine).
* I finally got to meet David Hartwell. He's an even more successful and famous editor than me (*cough*)! What a nice gentleman. And patient, as I climbed over him at least 25 times during the weekend (the dealer room folks thought it wise to not give the Apex table an entry/exit point… so the only way was through David and filk legend Tom Smith).
* Hanging out with my crew: Maurice Broaddus, Jerry Gordon, Jenn Stark and that guy who follows her around, Janet Harriet (please, only one T), Elaine Blose (next year the hotel won't screw me over… you know what I'm talking about), Lawrence Connolly and his mug of happiness, Professor Tim Waggoner, Stephen Zimmer, Daniel and Trista Robichaud (one of whom took off their shirt for the Apex/IHW party), that one dude whose name I don't know but who always stands in the corner and stares at me all night long with surreptitious sidelong glances.
* A hearty welcome to new members of my crew: Awesome Dawn (you don't know what a hug truly is until Dawn gives you one), Lesley Conner (only when drunk or when buying Apex books), Nora, and Seanan "Komodo Dragon" McGuire. Sorry, the choice to join is not given, it is chosen for you.
* Nick Winks and his drive-by jibes and insults.
* After six years, I'm finally comfortable doing panels.
* Michael West doing a random break dance head spin while holding copies of his books in his hands—for a crowd of young ladies

Properly administering anesthesia requites a great deal of training, skill and competence. That said, general, local, spinal and epidural anesthesia still presents risks. Anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists are required to adhere to care standards because of this. When they deviate, a patient is at great risk for injury. When they do sustain injuries, they are liable for all damages.
If you or someone close to you has been injured due to anesthesia error, it is important that you are fully compensated and are able to recover and hold the medical professionals responsible.
Philadelphia, Lehigh Valley, Lancaster, Reading, New Jersey and New York Anesthesia Malpractice Attorneys
We at Soloff & Zervanos, P.C., are prepared to put our decades of experience to work to do everything to help you or your loved one fully recover the compensation you deserve if you have suffered an anesthesia error injury. This includes:
- Spinal anesthesia errors
- Allergic reactions to local anesthetic
- Improper choice of anesthetic
- Contraindicated anesthetic agent
- Failure to monitor vital signs
- Inadequate anesthesia
- Medication errors
- Aspiration pneumonia
- Esophageal intubation
- Positioning injuries
- Improper monitoring
It is important to realize that as prescription and anesthesia options become more diverse, the standard of care must be applied on a case-by-case basis. This means fully understanding all effects of medications working together. When doctors fail to correctly prescribe, the result can be extremely hazardous or even fatal.
We are prepared to bring the approach that has yielded success in hundreds of cases to work for you.
An example of our success:
$8 million wrongful death settlement to the estate of a five-month-old child who suffered severe brain damage while being administered anesthesia during surgery. Soloff & Zervanos, P.C., was instrumental in helping to obtain this multimillion-dollar settlement against a major hospital in central Pennsylvania.

So wrong … in the best way! As Twitchy reported, twerky Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" is out and "Blurred Red Lines" is in. You see, President Pass-the-Buck not only slammed Congress on the world stage Wednesday, but he also absurdly claimed that he didn't draw the red line over Syria. The world totally did that.
