Freeso seems to be exactly what I need. A simple and light router for 5-6 subnets.
However I need one more feature: DHCP relay.
I am running various servers/clients, in VMware worksation 8, using different subnets.
On one of then I have a DHCP server to cover all the others. I do not want to use the built-in Freesco DHCP server, as I need to study the MS one.
I have found the non-packages DHCRELAY at http://www.freescosoft.com/fs.04x.non.php
I have been using a ready made floppy at http://it-experts.dk/blogs/rsj/archive/2009/01/25/freesco-routing-in-a-virtual-environment.aspx
Now I need some detailed help on how to get DHCRELAY on to that floppy.
Or detailed help on how to re-create a floppy with DHCRELAY included.
If you can help with the above, it would be greatly appreciated.

Film Festivals Offer The Life Lessons For Longevity/
By Kellie Ann Benz
Okay, I'll admit it. I think 'Jersey Shore' offered some of the best life lessons. I'm not too cool to reveal that I gleaned much from the leg-humping silverbacks who F-bombed their way into obscurity on that cautionary tale of a show.
Replace, if you will, their onenightstandpad with a film festival party, and you can see how they offered all of us a first rate how-NOT-to for which should be grateful.
I cite their example as a sobering reminder for everyone packing for their first film festival.
First, the good news. Film festivals are wicked wild fun. Truly.
Festival attendees are some of the most electric creatives you'll ever meet – and when actors or actresses are in attendance, some of the most beautiful humans you'll ever see with your own eyeballs - film festivals offer a throwback to Dominick Dunne-esque invitation only cocktail parties. At the best international festivals, the ribald wits congregate as safe harbour from a cruel, cruel world that only understands their stories when told in a linear three act structure. At the discovery-zone of regional indie festivals, you can feel welcomed into an exclusive club where only the cinematic smarty-pants go.
For the chosen ones with films competing, a film festival is the blue ribbon approval after the drudge of production, the maxed out expense of post, and the 'pick me' panic of festival submissions. Depending on where you're chosen, you could very well Duplass your way into a career.
Ask any one of the indie hopefuls whose films have received the golden handshake at Sundance, Cannes, Rotterdam, Venice, Palm Springs, Toronto and you'll get an exhausted 'phew' – a true sign that they had no way of seeing that life changing moment coming.
Here's the rub, anticipating that your life will change or that your film will sell or that you'll leave a film festival wealthy is guaranteeing that you won't. Murphy and his nasty little laws.
However, anticipating that you will meet people who you will work with in the future is Lena Dunham smart and precisely the way to use a festival to benefit your career.
Since the social make-up of a film festival often mirrors the social make-up of any community, I offer these quick glance personalities-types to find and/or avoid at any film festival:
THE MOVIE WATCHERS – Not the ones 'screening' films, the ones watching them. Native to the film festival circuit, this tribe's natural habitat consists of dark theatres and festival line ups. Easily identified by their traditional garb; hoodie/vest/toque* ensemble, un-environmentally friend coffee cup, dog-eared program and OCD attachment to their smartphone. If you make movies because you love movies, these are your future collaborators, industry pals and trusted confidantes. Make friends with these people.
*Toque is Canadian for knitted ski hat. Toque is also way cooler than knitted ski hat.
THE PRODUCED PRODUCERS – Good Producers are a rare breed. Find the ones who made the new movies you loved and introduce yourself. Exchanging a business card isn't betraying any Producer relationship you already have; it's ensuring that you diversify. Foolish are the writer/directors who put all their eggs in one basket, so save the I-don't-mingle hooey for the E raves*, and exchange twitter handles.
*Unless you're a starlet or undiscovered hunka hunka movie star, don't take the E at E raves. Note to Starlets and Hunka Hunkas – no one casts messy druggies, but they WILL sleep with you. You decide what you want.
THE COORDINATORS – Film festival staff are often a mysterious bunch. First, there are a lot of them, second it's questionable what they all do. Here's a hint, the people who coordinated the parties you're attending (mostly running around making sure you're having a great time) are the money people to know. Naturally, Festival Directors, Artistic Directors or any other variation thereof, you must thank and be gracious to. But the Coordinators are often the ones with extra comps, free passes, late night exclusive invitations, and other unexpected goodies. Here's the secret though – you don't know this and you must NEVER expect them to share. They loathe people who expect perks. Best way to get the inside track from the Coordinators is to be kind, polite, talkative and genuinely interested in who they are. Besides, today's festival coordinator is tomorrow's Development Executive or award winning filmmaker. These might turn out to be long relationships. Pay attention. Be real.
WRITERS – Screenwriters do actually Charlie Kaufman their way through most parties, that's their job. No one takes a gregarious screenwriter seriously. So getting screenwriters to release the death-clutch of their single malt scotch long enough to open up, could mean a future collaborator for you. Like Coordinators, pay attention, be genuine, exchange emails.
THE UN-PRODUCED PRODUCER – If the Producer you just met doesn't have a credit on the film they say they produced at the festival, it's not a titling mistake. Politely back away and keep mingling.
THE OVER-MARKETERS – We all want to market our films, find our audiences and feed our niche. Film Festival parties, however, are not always the best place to do that (your audience is much bigger than fellow filmmakers) If you run into someone who can't stop giving you all the crap they've invested in to promote their film – worse yet, that's not even in the festival – walk away.
NOTE ASKERS - if any filmmaker asks you for feedback or 'notes', don't walk away, run!
THE DRIVERS – Don't have an inside track to anything. Be polite, move on.
REPORTERS – This is a dicey one, because getting quoted seems like the goal. Your publicity, however, needs to be leveraged in unison with the marketing of your film. So tread carefully. This means keep a professional distance until you've seen the same reporter enough times for a natural friendship to develop.
The best thing you can do for yourself before you arrive at a festival is scan the delegates list and know who you want to meet, then stay open to who you might meet along the way. Take cards, keep notes, assess after your home who you want to follow up with.
A festival invitation should mark the beginning of a long run for your film and herald the spark of a career for you. In the film industry, longevity is the only goal worth pursuing.
Overall, I'll end with this; the age old manners your mother shamed you into for family dinners, also apply to film festivals – and your life in the film industry – be kind, pay attention, listen more than talk and most importantly, just like 'Jersey Shore' taught us all, keep your pants on.

Military and Civilian Hospitals Collaborate to Improve Care
Monday, May 28, 2012
Although it may come as a surprise to some patients, it's not too unusual to see service members providing medical care at Scripps Health, UC San Diego Medical Center or Sharp HealthCare.
The long and rich history of combining military medicine with civilian practices in San Diego goes back to as long as 50 years, according to the people active in running training programs for the local hospitals. It's evolved over time because the arrangement involves very little extra costs and offers vast benefits to the participants, they say.
On the front lines of a shared military-civilian care-giving role is Gynecologist Dr. Bruce Kahn, an adjunct associate clinical professor and director of fellows in minimally invasive gynecology. The experienced doctor of 20 years provides training in gynecological surgery for OB/GYN residents at Scripps Clinic. He oversees residents who spend 10 weeks in their third year of training and 10 weeks in their fourth year of training at Scripps hospitals.
As part of his duties Kahn teaches local Navy residents in conjunction with the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences Medical School in Bethesda, Md.
While he says the Navy does a great job with its surgical volume and generally younger patient population he can impart knowledge to the military residents about minimally invasive procedures and from a surgical specialty standpoint expose residents to more cutting-edge technology. As one example, he says 80 percent of the women having a hysterectomy at Scripps choose a laparoscopic approach as opposed to surgery. He can also teach military residents skills associated with robotic surgery.
Fulfilling Work
The longtime instructor who says he's been teaching since he finished medical school can explain why the involvement with military residents is both valuable to the patients and personally rewarding.
"When I have a resident with me I have to be working at a very high level to be their teacher," Kahn said. "I'm providing the absolute best care I can and that benefits everyone. From my perspective it's very fulfilling to me because I provide great care for the patients, and I teach the next generation of physicians. Having done it for so many years I would miss it if I didn't have the ability to teach."
As an added bonus Kahn says no money is exchanged in the sharing program other than what's paid to the residents by the Navy. An exchange of residents takes place, though, as the Scripps residents are required to participate in rotations at the Naval Medical Center San Diego.

Is Craig "Darryl" Robinson Finally Being Utilized by The Office?
Actor Craig Robinson, star of the upcoming Hot Tub Time Machine, has been in Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, and Arrested Development. As a side-character on The Office since season 1, he's hardly been used. Could this finally be changing?
Last night's Office saw the Sabre sales team making more money than their co-workers, and their manager, Michael Scott. One of the best scenes featured newly relocated warehouse manager, Darryl, and an incredibly obnoxious Andy:
A similar moment was improvised and posted on FunnyOrDie about two years ago:
That Craig Robinson's comedic skills haven't been used for so long could root in some trouble he got into back in 2008. He was arrested for drug possession, and that was right after he had finished filming his first feature roles that offered real exposure. Regardless of why he hasn't been given his fair share of Office screen-time, it's good to see that those days are most likely over. So he likes to party? So what. Who cares? The man is funny.

Turkey toughens its stand on Syria
The Turkish officials have noticeably racheted up anti-Syrian rhetoric, including the top leadership in Ankara. Turkey claims it is going to deliver humanitarian aid to displaced people inside Syrian territory and that Damascus has been consulted. No confirmation from Damascus so far, though. A demonstration in front of the Turkish embassy in Damascus last week protesting against Turkish interference has been widely projected in the Turkish media as a hostile act. Turkish nationalist feelings would be aroused.
On Sunday, a Turkish military helicopter crossed into Syria on a reconnaissance mission. The Turkish TV speculated on the possibility that Ankara will create a 'buffer zone' in the border region on Syrian territory for providing shelter to displaced people rather than accept them as 'refugees'. Damascus has alleged that weapons are being smuggled into northern Syria, hotbed of current violence, from Turkey. Interestingly, Iranian media have picked up the Syrian allegation. Meanwhile, Turkish PM Recep Erdogan is planning to visit Cairo and has had consultations with Qatari emir who is, paradoxically, a charioter of the Arab Spring in Libya and Syria although a dictator himself.The heightened level of Turkish diplomatic activism has to be on the basis of some foreknowledge of US strategies in the coming period.

Could one among the factors behind the Turkish turnabout on Syria even be the Kurdish issue?
Kurds inhabit significant contiguous swats of Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran - the territory referred to as Kurdistan - and claim well over thirty percent of the total population of Turkey alone. This in itself is a big thorn in the Kemal pasha's "pure" state's side, not even to mention the PKK-led armed struggle of the past decades.
Could the reported Turkish blockade of migration from Syria be there primarily to prevent an influx of Kurds (a ten percentile minority in Syria)? Recent years have witnessed Turkish military incursions into Iraqi Kurdistan, Turkish-Iranian collaboration on the Kurdish issue, and so on.

Johan has a good point about the Kurdish dimension to Turkey's stance on Syria. I think the US position vis-a-vis Syria and Iran are more operative here though. Your point on the consultations between Ankara and Washington, DC seem logical; Turkey seems to me to be moving back into it's traditional Eurocentric orientation, and stepping away from it's bid to rejuvenate the Ottoman Caliphate in modern times. I would pay careful attention to Turkey's position on Palestinian movement toward a declaration of statehood in September. If they are silent or even mutedly supportive, I would read that as a partial payment to Israel and America for past misdeeds and as a signal to America and the West that they're back on the team, so to speak. My compliments on your work; I often disagree with your conclusions, but I value the supporting information that drives the positions you take.

@JadedCynic-Turkey has decided to champion the "cause" of the Palestinian Statehood. (http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=turkey-to-launch-international-mobilization-for-palestinian-state8217s-recognition-2011-06-24)
The New Meddle East is forming and Iran, Turkey, Syria, and later the AfPak make up the core of an emerging central Asiaian state-market blcok. With the EU in shambles the world needs a new set of the "Asian Tigers" to save the West's bacon.

The better of the animal acoustic organs – our derma – the sheath that protects all our centralized organs. The aboriginal 24 x 7 branch with zero-error accomplishment – manages assorted portfolios like protection, allowed system, sensation, calefaction regulation, dehydration control, aesthetics, communication, storage& synthesis, excretion, assimilation and baptize attrition to name a few. Though this sheath rejuvenates itself and undergoes complete advance already in every seven to ten weeks time, we charge to strengthen the accouterment by giving it the bare nutrients, affliction and protection. The better abstruse of admirable derma is its bloom and we charge to pay absorption and baby to its needs.
It is acute to analyze our Derma blazon to yield the appropriate measures to affliction it. In accepted there are two types of classification; the capital getting based on the breakthrough of beard of Sebum – a accustomed adipose and appropriately is classified into dry, accustomed and adipose varieties. Yet addition assay based on its acknowledgment to Ultraviolet radiation and in this allocation the types ambit from getting Pale and gradates through Fair, Light Brown, Olive Brown, and Brown to Black
Malnutrition, Dehydration, Carelessness, Exposure to radiation and aloft all the taken-for-granted attitude arise the bloom leads to assorted issues alignment from accustomed pimples to austere infections. Identification of blazon and all-important affliction with advice from experts based on the blazon prevents the accident of such Derma -diseases.
Qualified Professionals apostle four important methods of affliction namely Cleansing, toning, moisturizing and exfoliation. Facial Affliction Experts beyond the apple accept specialized in facials to specific type. For instance, the Facial Derma Affliction Spas and salons in New Jersey action absolute Adipose and Dry Derma Facials acquiescent acceptable results.
Cleansing helps in abatement of dirt, bacilli and asleep beef from the apparent layer. Cleansing affliction is conceivably one of the a lot of important things that can be done to accomplish the alone attending advantageous and beautiful.

Facial toning is done to restore the pH antithesis by removing the traces of clay particles larboard afterwards cleansing.

Hydration is the blessing for skin-care and moisturizing is actual important for it hydrates and prevents damp accident by creating a careful barrier.

Hey! You should know that Pentax/Ricoh has released a newer version of this product: the Pentax K-70.
Pentax may be considered the underdog compared to DSLR giants like Nikon and Canon, but the weather-sealed, colorful 2013 release, the K-50, isn't a model to gloss over. Sitting pretty at about $780 MSRP, the K-50 has a feature set and capability range that may make its more expensive competitors blush.
Comparable to the K-30, the K-50 starts out at around $100 less than the price it's older sibling was introduced at. But don't let the cost or name fool you, there are quite a few features hidden inside the K-50 that makes it a mid-range DSLR worth considering.
Pentax K-50: Body and Design
Pentax scores first on the design—Pentax is the only manufacturer currently offering a weather-sealed DSLR to date. The sealing prevents rain and dust from getting inside the camera, making it an excellent outdoor shooter. The design also allows the K-50 to operate in colder temperatures, down to -10 degrees C. The weather-sealing also gives the camera's exterior a comfortable texture.
|The K-50 has a comfortable, durable design.
The weather-sealing isn't the only perk the Pentax designers thought of though. The K-50 includes a lithium ion battery—but it's also compatible with AAs. Lithium ion batteries are the clear winner in terms of battery life and expense, but the ability to stash a few AAs in the camera bag in case the battery does run out of juice is a nice feature.
Pentax also includes more modes on the K-50's dial than other manufacturers typically use. Bulb is a separate setting, which eliminates the sometimes lengthy process of dialing the shutter speeds all the way down to bulb in manual mode. There's also two different slots to save custom settings.
|Settings on the K-50 are easy to adjust.
The K-50 is very comfortable camera. The grip is a good size (plus it's textured). The index finger has easy access to the shutter, front control wheel, exposure button, on/off switch and a nifty little button to return all the settings to the default. The thumb rests comfortably between the mode dial and back control wheel.
At the back of the camera, there's the usual gamut of menu control buttons, with shortcuts for ISO, flash, timer/burst and white balance. There's also an option for live view to use the screen instead of the viewfinder and an autofocus/exposure lock.
Where the left hand rests, Pentax included a RAW button, so switching between file types can be done without ever accessing the menu. The autofocus switch includes both continuous, single and manual, again making adjustments faster.
When you do need to access the menu, it's straightforward and well organized. All the menu options are there no matter what mode you are in—if a certain option isn't available with the current settings, it's still there, so you don't end up continuing to search as you adjust to the new camera.
Pentax K-50: User Experience and Performance
|The variety of available modes and settings on the K-50 allow for some stunning images.
Pentax's DSLRs have more manual modes than their competitors; along with the usual manual, aperture priority, shutter priority and programed auto, the K-50 includes sensitivity priority as well as shutter and aperture priority combined. Sensitivity priority keeps the exposure and ISO consistent by automatically adjusting shutter and aperture as the light changes. Shutter and aperture priority is similar to full manual mode in that you can adjust both the shutter and the aperture, but unlike manual, the exposure is automatic. While you could achieve the same results using the the four manual modes, the two extra modes can simplify things a bit. The Pentax K-50 includes all the scene modes you would expect from a mid-range DSLR, along with a few nonstandard ones like Night HDR and Stage Lighting. Pentax included a few fun digital filters too, including selective color and retro. The K-50 can also take time lapse photos without an extra intervalometer.
For speed, the K-50 sits right in line with similar cameras. Start-up, autofocus and playback speeds are what you'd expect from a mid-range DSLR. There is a noticeable delay in viewing photos after a burt of ten shots or more, and while the playback isn't available right away, the camera is still ready for another shot. With a burst speed of 6 fps, the K-50 is a fairly fast shooter for the category.
There were a few instances where the K-50's performance wasn't quite consistent. When shooting in the morning on a bright, sunny day, the programmed auto couldn't decide between two different settings, and depending which setting the picture was taken at, some of those photos turned out almost black. Later that day, the auto white balance wasn't up to it's previous performance. But, it was on a 90 degree day in full sun, and we couldn't get the camera to act that way a second time.
Pentax K-50: Image Quality
For a mid-range DSLR that's a bit nicer on price, there's no sacrificing on image quality. Lines are sharp and the images are detailed. Action is frozen at fast shutter speeds.
Colors are accurate about 95 percent of the time with the vibrancy settings left untouched. One shot of a flower seemed over saturated, but the magenta color is one that tends to be difficult for most cameras to capture. Color can be easily adjusted from the quick menu using a preset or custom set.
The K-50's 18-55mm kit lens produced a surprisingly nice depth of field.The subject remained clear and sharp while the background had a nice, yet not unrealistic, blur.
|The colors on this flower are over-saturated, but many cameras have difficulty with this color.
In low light, the K-50 performed similar to other mid-range DSLRs. In ideal lighting conditions, ISOs as high as 3200 still produced excellent results, with the noise becoming distracting about 20000. In dimmer scenarios, the noise is noticeable a bit earlier. ISOs reach all the way up to 51200, but the highest settings shouldn't be used unless intentionally adding grain.
Video shot with the K-50 has nice sound and vibration reduction, but isn't otherwise impressive. The autofocus isn't available while recording (and the loud motor would probably be audible in the video anyway). There's also an audible click at the end of the footage from hitting the shutter to end the clip.
Pentax K-50: Conclusion
|Images from the K-50 have a nice depth of field.
The Pentax K-50 is uniquely weather-sealed and sits at a nice price without sacrificing image quality. The design is excellent and comfortable, performance is on track and image quality is quite good. The video isn't as good as a Canon and the autofocus is much louder than a Nikon, but Pentax offers several unique features that make the K-50 one of the top contenders for mid-range DSLRs.
Pentax is the only manufacturer currently offering colorful, weather-sealed DSLRs, and the K-50 is being introduced at about $780. Canon's T5i has many similar specs, but is priced above $1,000. The Rebel SL1 is more competitive in price with the K-50 and also offers a touchscreen, but has a slower burst speed. Nikon's D3200, as last year's model, is also competitive with the K-50's pricing and has more megapixels but also has slower burst shooting.
Overall, the K-50 is fun to use and offers some quirky and some excellent extra features that you won't find with another manufacturer. The weather-sealing makes the K-50 a great option for the outdoor shooter and the fast burst mode makes it a nice camera for sports.

Today is April 4th, forty-three years since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis, Tennessee. In 2000, National Jobs with Justice and the United States Student Association began the Student Labor Action Project (SLAP) Day of Action to recognize Dr. King's important work supporting the Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike in 1968.
Men and women throughout the Memphis community supported the effort of the workers to join the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees for collective bargaining rights, i.e. job security and protection from dangerous work environments. For a more detailed look at this struggle watch the film At the River I Stand.
We are living in a time where working, unemployed, and underemployed people are under attack from multinational corporations, who want all the rights and privileges of personhood with none of the responsibilities of being humane and just. Walmart, SodexhoMarriot, and the Red Cross are just a few anti-union companies that are destroying our communities with low wages and minimal, if any, benefits. Unionized public sector employees and teachers are also being targeted by corporate funded state and local governments supposedly to address budget deficits. These groups represent the few remaining organized workers with the political power to challenge the conservative Right-To-Work for less agendas. To be clear, without public sector workers there is no black middle class or organized working class, so many black folk in my generation would not have had access to any college education.
The struggle to protect public sector employees in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Georgia, and many other states are all of our fights. It is the same legislation dressed up in different language. Today you can Get Active by visiting the AFL-CIO We Are One website, click on your state, find out what is going on in your area, and make your voice heard. My family spent Saturday morning at the most amazing Atlanta Jobs with Justice community teach-in. Take an hour to do something to commemorate Dr. King's true dream, I promise you will not regret it.

The grants are made possible by continued funding from the Mississippi State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts. "The grants awarded by the Commission to arts organizations across the state provide funding for the staging of festivals, theatre performances, and many other arts-related activities. With these funds, the organizations work diligently to help tell the unique story of their community, and to reinforce the value of building a creative economy," said Malcolm White, Executive Director of MAC. "Additionally, the arts provide a positive environment for learning, both in the classroom and in the community."
The Mississippi Arts Commission, a state agency, serves the residents of the state by providing grants that support programs to enhance communities; assist artists and arts organizations; promote the arts in education and celebrate Mississippi's cultural heritage. Established in 1968, the Mississippi Arts Commission is funded by the Mississippi Legislature, the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation, the Phil Hardin Foundation, the Riley Foundation, the Mississippi Endowment for the Arts at the Community Foundation of Greater Jackson and other private sources. The agency serves as an active supporter and promoter of arts in community life and in arts education.
The 10th annual Oxford Film Festival has been scheduled for February 21-24, 2013.

I don't mind a few rattlers, but last year I traveled the hill above the Homestead Mine (where you had made it in your Jeep). and I was running over them in bunches! Because they strike at heat, they tend to get a bit confused when a quad rolls over them, but can you imagine getting stuck or worse, having to walk out! No Thanks! I will do battle with one, or even two rattlers, but not in herds!

Thanks for that. What a great looking place.
I'm guessing that it rates high on your list of favorites, as it's on your masthead??
I have to admit that it has been the topic of many beautiful photos and wonderful history... mainly because the state has saved it by making it a park, but my heart is in locating places that would otherwise be lost and telling their stories. Happy Ghost Towning!
I know that some of you will be interested. If I have offended any - I apologize.

Anyone connected with Alma, Park City, Montgomery, Buckskin Joe, and that general area around Alma Colorado is being asked to help by sending via email your stories, your photos, and your experiences from personal history or general knowledge. It would be nice if you copied me so I could add them to my site but it is not necessary. You can also volunteer for an oral history.
I hope we flood them with information. Let's help them gather some great historical data. Send them an email.
DO IT NOW as time is short. It will be presented in September.
If you are curious about what type of information, see their good work here http://www.parkcoarchives.org
The bad news is you will have to wait a little while for the next installment of " Tales From the Past" titled, "How to Scare a Bear" as told to me over a beer in Ouray Colorado.
The good news is while I was gone I got numerous contributions from great visitors to the site and those comments are included. You will have to scroll to the bottom of the page to read new comments. Just click the links.
Rocky Mountain Profiles visitors updates and their contributions.
Fierro - NM- Celebrations Keota- Is it a ghost town? Gassy Colorado – No not really Gilman – Innocent fun ? And a request for information on the Eagle Mine at the Beldon siding on the Rio Grande. The bottom of the canyon from Gillman Grover – WOW - An offer to help you research Roggen – Peanuts in Pepsi? Russell Gulch – The mysterious Laura writes in and so does her son. Teller City – still there
Again THANKS to all of you that have signed my guest book and left comments. Many of you have direct connections to some of the Ghost Towns on my site. Always nice to hear from people that appreciate their history. I have begun posting some of those comments on the pages. This is a hobby for me so I must admit that seeing so many people getting pleasure from my hobby is very rewarding and quite honestly, pretty humbling.

There was a tiny little announcement of a game remake today at Sony's E3 press conference.
Post all discussion of said remake here. I'll keep this OP up to date with trailers and whatnot. If you have a piece of news, post it and I'll include it here (and if it's big enough, it'll go on the main site!). Last updated: April 8, 2016
What we know:
- The official title is Final Fantasy VII Remake.
- It will be episodic. This structure will allow some elements from the original game to be expanded upon, while others will be cut. Each episode will be of a "full scale" length, similar to the FFXIII games.
- It will be exclusive to PS4 at first. Releases for PC and/or other platforms are not out of the question.
- Yoshinori Kitase is producing, Kazushige Nojima is writing, and Tetsuya Nomura is directing. The director at Square Enix Visual Works is working on the modeling.
- Character designs are by Tetsuya Nomura and Roberto Ferrari. Some characters, like Barret, will see significant redesigns.
- CyberConnect2 and other outside studios are collaborating with Square Enix on this project.
- Some plot points and/or other elements might change. Cloud's crossdressing scene has been confirmed to be in the remake.
- The remake project started in June 2014 or earlier.
- The battle system will be dramatically different, though it will retain some familiar elements, such as the ATB and limit break bars. Characters can be controlled individually, or players may stick to one.
- Advent Children will be referred to as a source of inspiration.
- The game is being built with Unreal Engine 4.
- Nobuo Uematsu is not involved with the remake project.
What we don't know:
- If Sony is helping to fund the remake. They are said to have a "partnership" with Square Enix on this project, but outside of the timed exclusivity, the details are unknown.
- Whether it will be a turn-based or action RPG (UPDATE: the PS Experience trailer hints at an action RPG system, though it has some turn-based elements)
- Most everything else.
Rumor mill:
- "Miss Cloud" will be kept in. Likelihood of coming true: medium to high. ETA: CONFIRMED
- A big chunk of unverified "insider" information from a NeoGAF member. Key points: Zack, Yuffie, and Vincent may be integrated more into the story, and there's a good chance that the Welcoming Ceremony sequence and other scenes (side stories, Tifa and Cloud under the Highwind, Cloud beating on Aeris) might be changed. A lot of the other "info" is common-sense analysis. Likelihood of being true: low to high.
- CyberConnect2 (Solatorobo, lots of .hack and Naruto games, etc.) is involved in the development. Likelihood of being true: low to medium. ETA: CONFIRMED
- A planned 20th anniversary release in 2017 has been speculated in many corners of the internet. Likelihood of coming true: high.
- Unreal Engine 4 will be used as the game's engine. Likelihood of being true: medium to high. ETA: CONFIRMED

I teach: English, Turkish
Hello Turkish Learners! I am a professional Turkish Teacher and a translator with a master degree.I have visited so many countries to research... cultures and Turkish Dialects. Since I was a child, my dream was to travel to Asia and learn all the other Turkish Languages such as Kyrgyz Turkish, Kazak Turkish, Tatar Turkish, Tuva Turkish) as well as to research the similarities and differences between Modern Turkish and other Turkish languages. In the past, I worked as a lecturer in the School of Foreign Languages of Turkish Education at Kyrgyzstan Turkey Manas University for 3 years. During my appointment, I have taught all levels of Modern Turkish to the students who are from different nationalities such as Americans, Russians, English, German, Kazaks, Kyrgyz, Tatars, Mongol, Tuvas, Uighur Turk. I am also very fluent in Kyrgyz Turkish and Kazak Turkish. Currently, I am living in Turkey.I believe that with my experiences and love for languages, I can surely help you to speak up. As a patient and concise teacher, I: - develop and implement individual lesson plans for structured and conversational sessions. - use a variety of written and audio materials, primarily Elementary Turkish in 2 Volumes by Kurtuluş Öztopçu.- assign homework and provide regular feedback to students. - clarify complex grammar questions through examples from everyday conversations-make the language learning process less theoretical and more practical. Let me know your motivations and needs, and I will prepare an individual lesson plan for you.Just dream,you can learn language easily!Aysegul Read more

I am a native Turkish speaker and also a certified Turkish-French, French-Turkish interpreter.I'm a graduate of Marmara University , one of the best of Turkey, 2010. I have worked as a Turkish, French and English teacher in Turkey and abroad. I think that it's a very important plus to be graduated from a Language Teaching Department to teach Turkish or other languages because i have already learned ''how to teach''.I have a lot of experience in teaching Turkish to my foreign students in some language teaching centers and many online tutoring websites. I have been teaching to adults and young learners Turkish, English and French online and face to face lessons for all levels more than five years. In my opinion, each Turkish language ,instructor must be very good at explaining Target language's grammar rules because each language has a different form from other languages. I can speak fluently French and English and make comparisons between Turkish, English, French and Arabic also and this enables me an effective teaching style. My lessons are firstly based around making the student understand perfectly the grammar rules secondly the pronunciation and thirdly the speaking , because the learners can't speak correctly without learning the grammar rules and the pronunciation.If learners demand me, i can make a lesson for just to develop listening, speaking or reading skills. I also encourage my students to practice what they learned by giving homework tasks to complete and evaluate these homeworks. I have always been fond of interacting with different people from all over the world and discovering different cultures. I know that I learn a lot while teaching as well.Teaching Languages is my biggest passion.I'm looking forward to meet with you arkadaşlar. Don't hesitate to cantact me. See you soon.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP". My beeper.
"Code Blue, Francis Tower, Dialysis"
A Code Blue! I grab my stethoscope, and rush down two flights of stairs to the dialysis unit. The doors open, and it is a frenzy of activity there. My senior is already there. I'm the cardiology resident. That makes me the second code team leader. I dread the days I arrive before my senior.
A code team consists of the cardiology senior who is the code team leader, the cardiology intern, the critical care fellow who is the airway and central line technician, the critical care senior, respiratory techs, nurses, phlebotomists and 2 pharmacists.
A nurse is performing chest compressions, while another bagging.
"57 year old man with diabetic endstage renal disease on intermittent hemodialysis, admitted for diabetic foot. Coded 20 minutes into dialysis", his nurse tells me. In short, diabetes has killed his kidneys, his feet, and is slowly killing him.
The crash cart arrives. Within seconds electrodes are placed on his chest.
"Hold CPR. Check for pulses and rhythm!" the code team leader shouts.
PEA! Pulseless electrical activity. No shock indicated. As I try to recall the ACLS algorithm for PEA, my senior is shouting orders for epinephrine and stat blood tests.
"Resume CPR!"
I climb on the bed, straddling the patient and resume compressions. One and two and three and four and ….
"No pulses".
Damn! Inadequate compressions. I press harder, someone responds with "Good fem pulses". Under my hands, I feel his chest give to my pressure.
Crack. Crack, crack.
I feel his ribs break as I squeeze life sustaining blood out of his heart into the rest of his body for him. In a kidney failure patient with renal osteodystrophy, the bones are brittle. Fractures are almost expected during CPR. Nonetheless it is a sick, unforgettable feeling.
The critical care team successfully places a central line. A tube going into the right neck directly into the vein that feeds the superior vena cava.
Hold CPR. Suddenly, "Weak pulses!". He's back. How long I wonder. They package him up, and ship him 4 floors up to the medical ICU.
4 days later, I receive a call. He passed on.
Now, 18 months later, on a bad day I still get nightmares about that morning.
"Crack. Crack, crack." I shall never forget.

|Pioneer Day Parade circa 1970
Paris, Idaho
I didn't realize that it was Pioneer Day yesterday until last night so today I just wanted to take this time to pay tribute to my Pioneer ancestors. If it were not for their faith, fortitude, and courage; I would not be here.
James and Maren Kerstina Arff Poulsen made their way to Zion with the Joseph Horne Company. On the 27th of July in 1862, 570 individuals and 52 wagons were in the company when it began its journey from the outfitting post at Florence, Nebraska. They arrived in the Salt Lake valley October 1, 1862.
Robert and Matilda Louisa Kelsey Price crossed the plains with the Milo Andrus Company. 620 individuals and 38 wagons were in the company when it began its journey from the outfitting post at Florence, Nebraska (now Omaha). They arrived in Salt Lake 12 September 1861.
There were about 400 individuals and 52 wagons in the company when it began its journey 1-3 June 1853 from the outfitting post at Keokuk, Iowa. This company included a California company. They crossed the Missouri River on July 11. They arrived in the Salt Lake Valley 6-16 October 1853. My great-great-grandfather William Henry Piggott was 11 years old at the time.
My 3rd great-grandmother Mary Edwards White Cannon Taylor crossed the plains with her second husband Charles Barber Taylor sometime in 1850. They were accompanied by her daughter Elizabeth Edwards Cannon; my 2nd great-grandmother; age 5, and their son Charles Edwards Taylor age 1.
Jacob and Dorthea Christen Jensen Madsen and their children; including my 2 year old 2nd great-grandfather Niels; crossed the plains in mid 1857.
Henry Needham and Sarah Mathias Bake and children traveled with Captain Ira Eldridge's Company leaving the 1st of July 1861. Sarah walked nearly all the way across the plains, bare-footed, but a cow stepped on her foot and broke it so she had to ride the rest of the way, arriving in Salt Lake Sep 13, 1861. My 2nd great-grandmother Rebecca Hannah Bake was four years old at the time. Her memory of that trip and the hard times that followed was very vivid.
My 2nd great-grandfather John Thompson Barker arrived safely in Salt Lake City on 26 Sep 1862. The details of his trek across the plains is not known.
Jane Maria Pickett crossed the plains from Missouri arriving in Salt Lake some time in 1862 with her step-mother and uncle.
Samuel Newton Henderson was a nine year old orphan boy when he made the journey from Nauvoo, Illinois with the Pioneers. He made the trip with Mr. and Mrs. Gates in the Daniel Spencer/Perrigrine Sessions Company. She didn't have any children of her own and Samuel's grandfather Samuel, Sr said it would be alright if little Samuel went with them and she could raise him. 185 individuals and 75 wagons were in the company when it began its journey 18 June 1847 from the outfitting post on the Elkhorn River about 27 miles west of Winter Quarters, Nebraska. They arrived in Salt Lake 24-25 September 1847.
Jonathan Pugmire and his 5 children including my 3rd great-grandfather Joseph Hyrum Pugmire who was 13 at the time, left from Nauvoo 1846 bound for the Salt Lake Valley. Joseph's mother, Elizabeth Barnes, died on the 2nd half of the trip, en route from Winter Quarters to Salt Lake. She died at Florence, Douglas, Nebraska.
September 29, 1847 the Jonathan Pugmire family arrived in Salt Lake with the Captain Edward Hunter's company.
Samuel Henderson and his second wife traveled with the Easton Kelsey Company. 100 wagons were in the company when it began its journey from the outfitting post at Kanesville, Iowa (present day Council Bluffs). They originally departed about June 10, 1851 but turned back due to Indian trouble. They left again June 29, 1851. Luman A. Shurtliff was captain of the 1st Fifty and Isaac Allred was captain of the 2nd Fifty.
And those are my Pioneers. If you have Mormon Pioneers in your tree, you may find the following links helpful.

Where Americans earn the most income
Where are Americans taking home the most?
The Census Bureau answered that and more in recently released new survey results that breakdown incomes down to the ZIP code. Check out the gallery above to see where Americans are earning the most.
The numbers included above are the median family income for each ZIP code, meaning they represent the income of a family smack in the middle of the income spectrum.
The "median" family has an equal number of families earning more or less in their ZIP code. Median income figures tend not to be inflated by a small group of high income individuals, as happens when reviewing the average or mean income.
The numbers used in the gallery above come from the Census Bureau's five-year American Community Survey, the deepest look the Census Bureau offers aside from its decadal review.
Here's what you should know about these numbers and how we've used them.
Because a ZIP code area may not include many families, these numbers are prone to large margins of error. In some cases, they're nearly meaningless because those margins are so high.
To make this exercise in comparative wealth useful, we discarded results where the margin of error was greater than 20 percent of the annual income for a ZIP code. Doing so meant leaving out all ZIP codes with fewer than 1,000 families and discarding many lower population ZIP codes. Including them would have meant putting forward numbers we knew to be very unreliable.
The numbers used here are for family income, as opposed to household income. The Census Bureau defines a family as two or more people related by birth, marriage or adoption living in the same household. While this definition fails to count some families, it does offer a picture of incomes in an area that doesn't have the same distortions as accountings of household or individual earnings alone.
Users can do their own digging into the Census numbers through the American Factfinder service.

Universal data concentrator supports Ethernet, 6LoWPAN RF mesh and more
IPv6-based communications are becoming the standard choice in industrial markets such as smart meters and grid automation. The universal data concentrator design provides a complete IPv6-based network solution integrated with Ethernet backbone communication, 6LoWPAN mesh networking and more. The 6LoWPAN mesh networking, which adopts an identical layering architecture to the WI-SUN FAN, addresses key concerns such as standards-based interoperability, reliability, security and long-distance connectivity.
How to design 1-phase shunt electricity meters using standalone metrology ADCs
As processing requirements for electricity meters gradually increase, it becomes increasingly difficult to find one device that meets both the processing requirements for adding advanced metrology features to smart meters while also accurately sensing metrology parameters, such as RMS voltage, RMS current and active power. To deal with this design challenge, one option is to use a separate metrology microcontroller and a standalone ADC.
How to design high-accuracy CT-based split-phase electricity meters using standalone metrology ADCs
As processing requirements for electricity meters gradually increase, it becomes increasingly difficult to find one device that meets both the processing requirements for adding advanced metrology features to smart meters while also accurately sensing metrology parameters, such as RMS voltage, RMS current, and active power. To deal with this design challenge, one option is to use a separate metrology microcontroller and a standalone ADC.
Battery and system monitoring for smart meters
Over the last few years, the industry has been moving from mechanical to fully electronic meters. We have seen more and more functionalities such as metrology with ultrasonic technology, leak detection with audio patterns, communication with low power and long range radio being added to smart meters. These new functionalities allow utilities to deliver new services such as condition-based maintenance and remote monitoring of meters, which lead to efficient management of the network and better customer experience.

Polyphase Current Measurement with Isolated Shunt Sensors
Shunt sensors are rapidly replacing current transformers as the preferred current sensing solution for electricity meters(e-meters) around the world.
Precision temperature measurement in heat and cold meters
PT100/500/1000 Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) are widely used in grid infrastructure and factory automation applications where high precision temperature measurement is often required. Technical requirements include either 20 mK precise Differential Temperature Measurement (DTM) for heat and cold meters from 0 to 180°C or better than 400 mK precision over the full range of -200 to 850°C for industrial sensor transmitters.
Ultrasonic Sensing for More Accurate and Precise Water Flow Meters
Ultrasonic sensing techniques have been popular in smart water meters because the technology avoids any moving parts which are prone to degrade over the lifetime of the product. The MSP430FR6047 microcontroller (MCU) family takes ultrasonic sensing solutions to next level of performance delivering <25ps of accuracy, detection of low flow rates <1 liter/hour and high precision of <5ps.
Single-chip Smart Water Meter with Dual-band RF and InfraRed port
Hundreds of millions mechanical water meters are deployed around the world today. Market pressure pushes water utilities to add intelligence and allow for automated readout and billing on top of water waste control. RF-enabled electronic flow measurement modules provide a cost-effective solution without full meter replacement and are the main building block for fully electronic smart water meters with impeller principle.

Design details for TI design TIDA-00834 and Links to TI designs customer can refer when designing AIM.
Anti-tamper Techniques to Thwart Attacks on Smart Meters
Non-technical losses ("theft") account for billions of dollars of revenue loss for utility providers around the world as individuals are able to hack meters to slow or stop the accumulation of energy usage statistics. This loss has driven increased requirements for enhancing the protection designed into new smart meters. This training session will discuss different methods of attacking smart meters and how TI's analog portfolio can be used to detect or even prevent these attacks. In one scenario magnets are used to saturate any transformers present in the system.
Wireless Network Challenges and Solutions for a Smarter Grid IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) is now part of the smarter grid through the adoption of IPv6 communications networks. These 6LoWPAN-based networks address key concerns such as standards-based interoperability, reliability, low power, and long-distance connectivity.

This video captures an eight-year-old boy riding a tricycle on a highway in Brazil while drivers do their best to avoid, you know, hitting him.
The boy reportedly found the adventure to be 'cool,' while welfare officials would like to have a few words with his family.
Our first question: why exactly is an eight-year-old riding a tricycle? Isn't he a little old for that?

Alabama's Iron Bowl victory celebration was subdued somewhat Saturday with the news that wide receiver Kenny Bell had broken his leg.
TUSCALOOSA — It almost was a perfect night for No. 2 Alabama as the Crimson Tide defeated rival Auburn 49-0 in the Iron Bowl on Saturday.
The key word? Almost.
The celebration at Bryant-Denny Stadium was subdued somewhat with the news that wide receiver Kenny Bell had broken his leg.
Alabama coach Nick Saban said following the game that Bell will have to have a rod inserted in his leg and be out "at least five or six weeks" before he can start running again.
Bell was taken to the locker room early in the second quarter. After a long T.J. Yeldon run that set up the Crimson Tide inside the Auburn 10-yard line, Bell began hobbling back to the sideline before collapsing to the turf. After writhing in pain as trainers attended to him, he was helped off the field and put no weight on his left leg.
He came out of the locker room in the second half on crutches with his leg immobilized.
"He's a playmaker for us," Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron said of Bell. "But we're going to have some younger guys step up and make plays."
Kevin Norwood, who had two touchdown receptions in Saturday's win, said seeing Bell go down was painful.
"Kenny Bell has worked hard all season and off-season" he said. "It hurts us to see him go down. We know that he wants it. It's a shame.
Bell is one of the Tide's deep threats and is second on the team with 431 yards and three touchdowns on the season. He caught one pass for 15 yards during Saturday's game before getting hurt.
Alabama's senior class in 2012 has been nothing short of stellar.
Since arriving at campus, the Crimson Tide is 47-5, have won two national championships and, with a win in next week's Southeastern Conference championship game against No. 3 Georgia, could play for a third.
The 47 wins are a school record by one class and also is more than any other team in a BCS conference.
The significance of that, along with beating Auburn the final time they step on the field at Bryant-Denny Stadium, was not lost on Saban.
"I feel great about the seniors being able to close out their career here with a pretty memorable victory for them," Saban said. "This is a great rivalry game, and for our players to be able to win this game is always a big thing for our fans, our players and all of our supporters, and I was really pleased with the way we played in the game."
Linebacker Nico Johnson was one of the seniors who relished Saturday's win.
"I didn't think my senior day would come this fast," he said. "It's real exciting.
"I just hate the fact that it's my last game at Bryant-Denny."
Looking back at his career at Alabama, the Andalusia High School product still is amazed at what his class has been able to accomplish.
"I just wanted to be successful," he said. "Honestly, I really didn't think I would play for two national championships in the time that I've been here, but I've been blessed."
The Iron Bowl was a big topic Saturday on Twitter. Here's a look at some of the best tweets during the game:
• "The state of Alabama might lead the nation in one category: Best place to watch a big college football game." — AP Sports Writer John Zenor (@jzenor)
• "This one is gonna get ugly." — WBRC Sports Director Rick Karle (@RickKarle)
• "Western Carolina put up more (of) a fight than #Auburn is now." — Decatur Daily Sports Editor Mark Edwards (@DailyEdwards)
• "If the current paths continued for couple more years, Auburn would be annexed and turned into Alabama's JV team." — AP Sports Writer Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP)
• "Saban can name the score at this point, but may need to use logarithms." — Tuscaloosa News Sports Editor Cecil Hurt (@CecilHurt)
• "Only way Iron Bowl could be more embarrassing is if there's a running clock in the 2nd half." — Alabama Media Group Reporter Jon
Solomon (@jonsol)
• "If you want to see what it looks like when a team quits, tune in to the Alabama-Auburn massacre. Parental guidance suggested." — @ESPN_SEC
• "Things I never thought I'd hear… 'That's the end of the third quarter, Alabama 49, Auburn 0.'" — Tuscaloosa News Sports Writer Aaron Suttles (@AaronSuttles)
• "Gene Chizik won't talk about future. Right now, his biggest concern is probably getting a ride back to Auburn" — Paul Finebaum (@finebaum)
Earlier in the week, sports writers and editors across the state weighed in how they thought Saturday's Iron Bowl would go.
Of the 23 who participated, 22 picked Alabama to win by an average score of 40.6-8.7. The only writer to predict a shutout was Alabama Media Group's Jon Solomon, who picked Alabama to win 41-0.
As for The Gadsden Times' staff predictions, sports editor Kim Craft picked Alabama 42-7, sports writer Nick Johnston picked Alabama 34-7, and sport writer J.J. Hicks picked Alabama 45-6.
• Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron moved into sole possession of second place on the career touchdown passing list. His 44 touchdowns through the air is just four behind the school's all-time leader John Parker Wilson.
• Auburn lost eight SEC games for the first time in program history.
• Auburn allowed a touchdown on its first defensive series for the fifth straight SEC game.

We can understand why Anthony Epps would be upset.
We doubt anyone wants to have their name in the paper for being arrested for DUI. The same would be true for whatever punishment is handed down from the courts if that person is found or pleads guilty.
Last week, we reported on the outcome of Epps' arrest, which included a fine, court costs and participation in an alcohol dependency program. For what it's worth, we considered at least one portion of that outcome as positive news: Epps had completed a DUI education program prior to his sentencing.

Halle Berry More Trouble on the Home Front
As if stalkers and court drama wasn't enough, Halle Berry is also having some serious problems with her home in the Hollywood Hills ... and now she's on the hunt for a new place to live ... temporarily.
Halle was spotted checking out some swanky beach pads in Malibu today ... and sources connected to the actress tell us she's looking for a short term rental while her Hollywood home is under repair.
We're told Halle wants to be in a safe and secure area ... especially with TWO dangerous fans on the loose.
As we previously reported, Halle ultimately wants to move to France to be with her fiance Olivier Martinez ... and she wants to bring her daughter with her ... but she needs a judge to sign off, first.
Until she sorts that situation, guess the beach will have to do.

Despite the Name, Drop Not So Steep
With the country inching closer every day to the edge of the fiscal cliff, the precise calendar for the rest of the legislative year, and the beginning of the next one, is becoming increasingly important.
The cliff's scheduled spending cuts and tax increases—due to go into effect in the New Year if Congress can't agree on a deficit-reduction package—represent the beginning of a steady tumble rather than a sharp free fall, since policy makers face a number of other fiscal challenges with different deadlines in 2013.
The timing of the decisions and their effects, then, won't be as neat as the metaphor suggests. There is more than one important date, with some—due to quirks in the political calendar—bringing the cliff further forward than is commonly understood, and others pushing it out well into next year.
Falling Over the Fiscal Cliff
See some scenarios for how different groups of people may be affected by the tax changes that will take place if the fiscal cliff isn't resolved by the Jan. 1., 2013, deadline.
Q: So, a simple question to begin: What's the first deadline for Congress?
A: The fiscal cliff's tax increases would go into effect Jan. 1, 2013, but the first real deadline is two weeks earlier. Congress is expected to adjourn for the year on Friday, Dec. 21. And according to rules in the House of Representatives, lawmakers must have at least three days to review a major piece of legislation before being asked to vote on it—though there are ways around that requirement.
If Congress follows its rules, a bill would have to be introduced by Dec. 18 at the latest, if lawmakers want to wrap up before they are scheduled to leave town for Christmas. To hit that target, serious negotiations would probably have to begin by early next week.
Q: What exactly happens at the end of the year?
A: The primary pieces of the cliff—tax increases and spending cuts—would kick in over two days if policy makers don't act.
On Jan. 1, 2013, new tax rates and rules would go into effect on a range of things from investment income to wages, because of a number of expiring tax provisions. That means wages earned beginning Jan. 1, 2013, would be subject to higher individual income-tax rates and payroll tax rates.
On Jan. 2, 2013, $110 billion in spending cuts are scheduled to begin, prompted by the 2011 Budget Control Act. The cuts are designed to be sweeping and hit a number of different federal programs, but unlike the tax provisions, they might not start immediately. Many believe the White House could backload the cuts to later in the year, giving policy makers more time to negotiate. The White House hasn't said publicly whether this is an option.
Q: If there is a deal, would it be smooth sailing from there?
A: Possibly not. The federal government is scheduled to bump up against its borrowing limit in late December or early January, but policy makers can use emergency measures to buy more time until February or March. The debate over whether or how to raise the debt ceiling—currently $16.394 trillion—could become another battlefield on which the White House and Republicans will fight. That would be the case if the debt-ceiling question isn't resolved this year, and it is likely to happen if the current negotiations end up leaving the big questions unresolved.
Q: So let's say Congress somehow dodges all these land mines. Then what?
A: They wouldn't have much time until the next potential problem. Congress has agreed to fund the government only through March 27, 2013. If no deal is reached to fund it beyond that date, there could be a partial government shutdown.
Q: If Washington reaches a deal by the end of 2012 to avert the cliff, what is the timing for the bigger, structural changes to Medicare and the tax code that people are talking about?
A: The White House and Republican leaders have discussed a "two-step" process that would require an initial set of agreements by the end of 2012 and then more discussions and changes some time in 2013.
The White House has said it wants to set an Aug. 1, 2013, deadline for major revisions to the tax code and entitlement programs such as Medicare. Republican leaders haven't endorsed that date, though it seems to be within the window they are looking at.
That would give policy makers enough time to work through details of any proposals, but is far enough from the 2014 elections to protect vulnerable lawmakers who might otherwise balk.
Save the Date(s)
Upcoming budget milestones:
Dec. 18, 2012 Last date for any bill to be introduced to Congress, which is expected to adjourn for the year on Dec. 21
Jan. 1, 2013 New tax rates and rules under fiscal cliff kick in
Jan. 2, 2013 $110 billion in fiscal-cliff spending cuts due to begin
December 2012 or January 2013 Federal government due to hit $16.394 trillion debt ceiling
March 27, 2013 Funding of federal government expires
Aug. 1, 2013 White House's suggested deadline for resolving major changes to the tax code and entitlements

text: Aortic Aneurysms An aneurysm develops when a diseased blood vessel dilates or "balloons" outward. Arterial aneurysms can be found in many locations throughout the body but typically involve the abdominal aorta below the kidneys. Risk factors for developing an aortic aneurysm include hypertension, smoking, high cholesterol, emphysema, genetic factors and male gender. An abdominal aortic aneurysm can develop in anyone, but it is most frequently seen in males over 60 with one or more risk factors. Aneurysms usually develop slowly over many years and often have no symptoms. They are frequently discovered during a work-up for vague abdominal or back pain. The larger the aneurysm, the more likely it is to rupture. If an aneurysm expands rapidly, tears open, or blood leaks along the wall of the vessel, symptoms may develop suddenly. Small aneurysms without symptoms can be followed with periodic ultrasound evaluation to detect changes in aneurysm size. Surgery is generally recommended for larger aneurysms and those that rapidly increase in size. The goal is to perform surgery before complications or symptoms develop. Another condition affecting the aorta is called a "dissection". This problem occurs when there is a split in the layers of tissue that comprise the aortic wall. Blood can then "dissect" between the layers and cause bleeding or obstruction of blood flow to vital organs. Risk Factors Men are four times more likely than women to develop an abdominal aortic aneurysm; it's the ninth leading cause of death in men over age 55. The most common risk factors for an aortic aneurysm or dissection include: Age - Aneurysms usually affect patients who are 50 to 80 years of age Atherosclerosis (aka hardening of the arteries) – The large majority of aortic aneurysms are associated with this condition High blood pressure - Increased pressure inside the arteries can create stress on weakened areas within the wall of the aorta Injuries and hereditary disorders - This includes Marfan's syndrome, a connective-tissue disorder that is occasionally associated with sudden death due to aortic dissection Smoking – Smoking at any time in your life increases your risk for developing an aneurysm and other manifestations of atherosclerosis Symptoms Most aneurysms, especially small ones, have no symptoms. In fact, less than one quarter of aneurysms present obvious symptoms until the time that it ruptures. Vague symptoms can occur as the aneurysm begins to enlarge and press on nerves, organs or other blood vessels. For an aortic aneurysm, common symptoms generally include: Throbbing or pulsation in the abdomen Abdominal pain - if severe, this could mean the aneurysm has ruptured Back or flank pain – if severe, this could mean the aneurysm has ruptured An aneurysm that occurs in the chest (called a "thoracic aneurysm") may have the following symptoms: Pain between the shoulder blades, lower back, neck or abdomen A dry persistent cough Hoarse voice (due to pressure from the aneurysm on the nerve that stimulates the vocal cords) Symptoms of a thoracic aneurysm or acute aortic dissection are frequently misdiagnosed. Screening and Diagnosis Even if an aneurysm does not cause symptoms, it may be detected during a routine physical examination. An abdominal aortic aneurysm can sometimes be felt in the abdomen and thoracic aneurysms can often be seen on a routine chest X-ray. Ultrasound of the abdomen is a highly accurate screening tool that can be used to make the initial diagnosis. More sophisticated imaging technology, such as computed tomography (a "CT scan") or magnetic resonance imaging (an "MRI") is then used to further evaluate a newly found aneurysm. Treatment Highly trained and experienced physicians within the St. Joseph Hospital Vascular Institute are able to offer the latest treatments for thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms as well as acute (sudden onset) and chronic (long duration) aortic dissections. In short, acute aortic dissection may require immediate surgery, but in some situations aggressive blood pressure control with IV/oral medication is also appropriate for certain types of aortic dissections. Chronic aortic dissections are generally followed with periodic imaging, and repaired if complicating circumstances arise despite good blood pressure control. Large or rapidly growing thoracic aneurysms usually require surgical repair. Without surgery, the risk of life-threatening aneurysm rupture increases with time and with aneurysm size. There are two types of surgery offered at the St. Joseph Hospital Vascular Institute to repair an aneurysm: Traditional surgery - Involves an incision in the chest or abdomen through which the aneurysm is opened and replaced with artificial graft material. This method of aneurysm repair offers proven and durable results with a low incidence of long-term complications. However, recovery from this relatively invasive procedure usually requires more time than less-invasive alternatives. The vascular specialists in the Vascular Institute can also perform an open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair using a less-invasive approach in which the skin incision is made in either the right or left flank area. This surgical approach offers better exposure of the abdominal aorta and its arterial branches, as well as results in a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery than the traditional open repair. Endovascular surgery - Involves two relatively small incisions at each groin to expose the common femoral arteries. A stent graft is then inserted through the femoral arteries and appropriately positioned using catheter/guidewire and video techniques. Once the stent graft is deployed within the aneurysm, it effectively diverts blood flow away from the aneurysm sac. Thus, pressure within the bulging aneurysm sac is reduced and the risk of aneurysm rupture is greatly diminished. This type of minimally invasive surgery has a relatively short recovery time and in general causes less physiologic trauma to the body. However, there is increased risk of blood vessel trauma using this technique and long-term periodic imaging is required because there is a small chance that the stent graft may move (i.e. migrate) or that blood flow may enter the aneurysm sac from the ends of the stent graft or from back-bleeding arteries, causing it to once again become pressurized and potentially rupture.

BOSTON, Mass. – A 5-1 run in the final 11:32 of the fourth quarter proved to be the deciding factor as the Leopards of Wentworth Institute of Technology (2-0) rallied to defeat lacrosse by the final of 10-9 Thursday afternoon at Wentworth Institute.
The run gave the Leopards a two goal advantage (10-8) with 4:37 left in the match. UMB's Donny Delpha (Walpole, Mass.) made it a one score game with just over a minute and a half remaining, but the Beacons were unable to capitalize in the final seconds as Wentworth's defense managed to hang on for the win.
Ryan Coakley fueled Wentworth's comeback as he recorded three straight goals in less than a minute. Ryan McGoff (Charlestown, Mass.) gave the Beacons their eighth goal of the contest in the opening minute of the fourth quarter, which at the time extended UMB's lead to three (8-5).
McGoff had another strong afternoon as he finished with a team-best three goals, while also picking-up one assist as well. Henry Bristol (South Hadley, Mass.) tallied a career-best 22 stops as he face over 50 shots from the Leopards attack.
Delpha ended the day with a pair of scores while four other Beacons each found the back of the cage once. For Wentworth Jared Proulx made just seven saves to earn the victory. Sean Paradis and Bryan Peterson each scooped-up five groundballs for the Leopards, while Ed McDonald (Waltham, Mass.) and Bristol each collected a game-high six.
Despite being outshot in the first half UMB went into the break with a 4-2 lead with the Beacons scoring the first and last goals of the first quarter, then the only two goals of the second. After the intermission, the Leopards began to claw their way back into the game, but UMB did manage to keep their distance on the scoreboard. After each squad recorded three goals in the third, it all came down the fourth, which belonged to Wentworth despite the Beacons last attempts to tie the game.
The Beacons return to action tomorrow when they travel to Clark University for an 8 p.m. non-conference game.
