Growing the state's agriculture industry and helping New York's family farms prosper is the goal of the "Grown in New York" plan, unveiled today (March 5) by Senator Patty Ritchie, Chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee. Senator Ritchie was joined at a Capitol news conference by other members of the committee, as well as leaders of the New York Farm Bureau to announce a plan to strengthen the state's $5.2 billion agriculture industry by expanding markets for New York-grown products, improving the bottom lines of family farms, and investing in the future of farming.
"Agriculture is New York's leading industry, and Senate Republicans have been at the forefront of efforts to bolster agriculture and help farmers grow," Senator Ritchie (R-C, Heuvelton) said. "Over the past two years, we have worked to restore budget cuts to vital marketing, research, and educational programs farmers depend on to strengthen their bottom line. 'Grown in New York' is the Senate Republican plan to build on that success and help farmers grow and build for the future."
"Our Grown in New York plan will dramatically strengthen New York's critically important farming and agriculture sectors for years to come by reducing taxes on farmers and helping farmers expand their markets, boost productivity and increase their profitability," Senate Republican Leader Dean G. Skelos said. "The plan would also help keep farms in the family, remove burdensome and duplicative regulations, and ensure the future success of New York farmers."
New York Farm Bureau President Dean Norton said: "NY Farm Bureau has long held to the proven belief that when you grow New York's farms, you grow New York's economy. The efforts put forth today by Senate Republican Leader Skelos, Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Ritchie and their conference colleagues will do just that. We appreciate their hard work to lower the high cost of farming to help ensure the next generation of farmers can continue the time-honored tradition of providing healthy, local food to the people of this state and the world."
The Senate's Grown in New York plan would:
— Reduce taxes on farmers;
— Eliminate the burdensome 18-a energy tax surcharge;
— Curtail red tape and outdated regulations;
— Improve farmers' access to customers by expanding farmers markets and food hubs;
— Put more New York-grown products in schools and government facilities;
— Encourage the growth of New York's maple and wine industries;
— Put idled farmland back in production; and
— Improve farm safety.
Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I-Olean), Chair of the Legislative Commission on Rural Resources and a former Chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said: "All across New York State, from the tip of Long Island, to the North County, to my district in Western New York, the agricultural industry is a thriving and vital component of the economy, but we need to do more to support our farms. The average age of the farmer keeps increasing. According to national statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for every one farmer under the age of 25, there are five over the age of 75. We need to cultivate younger farmers. It needs to be attractive for them to stay or enter in the agricultural industry. Also, we need to keep promoting biofuel crops through tax incentives. These crops produce green, locally-produced energy and provide many jobs to Upstate New York. This package of bills will be a boon to our state's vibrant farms."
Senator Tom O'Mara (R-C, Big Flats) said: "We need to keep taking actions that keep our farmers competitive for the long haul. That includes encouraging our federal representatives to take every step they can to level the playing field with our Canadian neighbors who currently impose a strict and unreasonable tariff that keeps New York wines out of that potentially lucrative international market. We can't risk New York State's farmers being taxed, regulated and priced out of business. The 'Grown in New York' plan is a bold, common sense blueprint to keep New York a proud and strong agricultural state."
Senator Patrick M. Gallivan (R-C-I, Elma), said: "Agriculture is New York's most important industry and one of its most diverse, impacting every individual and family in the state. The Grown in New York plan will help ease the tax burden on family farms, and eliminate the costly bureaucratic redundancies and red tape that continue to stifle growth. This is a dynamic and forward-thinking approach that recognizes the immense economic potential of agriculture and agri-business for New York State and will allow this important sector to expand and thrive for generations to come."
Senator Michael Ranzenhofer (R-C-I, Amherst) said: "As the number one industry in the state, our family farms do more than just feed New Yorkers. They are responsible for providing food for people across our nation and all over the world. Like many other energy-using businesses, the costs of doing business for many family farms is increasingly burdened by high utility bills. That is why it is imperative to repeal the 18-a assessment, lowering the cost of doing business, because when farmers prosper so does New York's economy."
Senator James L. Seward (R-C-I, Oneonta) said, "Farmers deal with countless challenges every day and initiatives that ease their financial burden while enhancing safety are vital. The Rollover Protection System (ROPS) Rebate Program fits the bill, helping retrofit over 1,100 tractors with lifesaving equipment since its inception. Tractor rollovers are the primary cause of farm fatalities, the use of ROPS and a seatbelt reduces the risk of injury by 99 percent. State support of this program can mean the difference between life and death on the farm."
Senator David J. Valesky said: "New York State produces high-quality agricultural products, and it makes perfect sense to highlight them in the thousands of restaurants across the state. The Dine: Pride of New York program will benefit the agricultural and restaurant industries, both extremely important to the state's economy."

PATUXENT RIVER, Md., May 17 (UPI) -- Northrop Grumman's unmanned combat aircraft for use from aircraft carriers will undergo testing soon by the U.S. Navy.
The U.S. Naval Air Systems Command said two X-47B demonstrators will be put through flight paces this summer at Patuxent River, Md., from where they will perform arrested landings and catapult launches to validate ability to conduct precision approaches to a carrier.
"Testing at Pax River is a critical component of this demonstration program as we break new ground with the development of a carrier-based unmanned air system," said Capt. Jaime Engdahl, Navy UCAS program manager.
"The integrated test team, under leadership of AIR-5.0 (Test and Evaluation) and VX-23 (Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 23), are critical members of the Navy UCAS program team that will make this program a success."
The unmanned combat aircraft system program began as a project of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The aircraft is 38.2 feet long, has a range of more than 2,000 miles and a service ceiling of 40,000 feet. It can carry 4,500 pounds of ordnance.
The first X-47B arrived at Patuxent River late last year and has been performing taxiing tests while being readied for flight testing. It is also about to start electronic vulnerability testing.

The trip proved to be extremely successful for the Bisons and Lady Bisons.
Four school records were set along with 22 personal records and 13 season bests.
Lipscomb also had five runners win their heat races in this last Indoor meet before the ASUN Conference Championships.
"It was fun to come up here and compete so well," said Lipscomb coach Bill Taylor. "The Indiana people know the name Lipscomb University from our basketball team's victory this year. Those we spoke with were very friendly and very complimentary about our University. I'm glad we could put in a great showing here and add to the growing reputation of Lipscomb University and our Athletics program.
"I also want to say that Indiana knows how to host a meet. It was a busy day with more teams competing than I could count. Yet they ran the meet right on schedule all day long and did a terrific job. It was very enjoyable for us and we look forward to returning to an indoor meet here next year."
Nathan Brame led the charge for the Bisons winning his heat of the 3000m with a PR of 8:56.72. That time is also the new LU indoor record for 3000m, bettering former Bison Jordan Wilson's mark of 9:02.54.
Following close behind in the same heat, David Wolfe set a big PR with a time of 9:00.51, while freshman Trace Carlson also earned an all-time PR in the same heat with a 9:10.43. In the following heat, sophomore Jeff Hoover charged through late in the race to notch an exciting heat win with a new huge PR of 9:10.76. A freshman trio of Tyler Youngs, Hunter Hethcoat and Cormac Carolan-Tolbert ran 9:19.28, 9:29.79 and 9:30.37 respectively, all PR's for 3000m.
In the women's 3000m the Lady Bison's also found great success. Carolyn Latham ran an all-time PR of 10:33.30 in the first heat, less than 3 seconds from the current indoor 3000m record.
In the second heat Jenny Randolph had another great finish, winning her heat and posting a gigantic PR of 10:38.85. Two weeks ago Jenny dropped 24 seconds off her equivalent 1600m PR in the mile, posting a new school record of 5:12.08. This was the third meet in a row in which Jenny has won either her heat or the whole meet for her event.
Caitlin Anderson also posted an all-time PR for 3000m with a time of 10:42.54. Shannon Shoemake and Meagan Hoar ran season bests of 11:14.52 and 11:28.20.
Earlier in the day Shannon Shoemake ran a season best mile in 5:26.70, winning her heat the tough way by leading from the gun to the finish. Also in that race, Louisa Van Batavia ran an all-time PR of 5:35.78. Laura Stewart and Meagan Hoar ran season bests of 5:40.57 and 5:41.71.
In the men's mile Jeff Hoover ran a new PR of 4:36.43. Hunter Hethcoat ran a mile PR of 4:41.06 and Cormac Carolan-Tolbert ran a mile PR of 4:46.87. Chad Martin and Paul Wright finished with times of 4:49.19 and 4:19.59 respectively.
"On the men's side we were actually down some of our top guys (top distance runner Ryan Chastain and Andrew Jones who has the top 800m time this year)," said Taylor. " Others are stepping up and pushing the team forward. The team is supportive of each other and we are having a lot of fun. I expect that our outdoor season is going to raise up yet another level, especially as our training starts to really pay off. "
Valerie Winkler posted another heat win for Lipscomb in the women's 800m, running an all-time PR of 2:23.49. Catherine Beals also PR'd in her first race of the indoor season, running 2:33.38 and Paloma Floden ran a season best of 2:40.64.
Valerie also set a new indoor school record in the 200m with a time of 28.28. Sequina Caro also competed in the 200m, running a season best of 29.03.
Clint Carter led the men in the 800m, posting a season best of 1:58.38. Freshmen Ben Fennell and Aaron Todd, along with sophomore Jonathan Williams ran season bests of 2:02.24, 2:02.40 and 2:02.55.
Kristin Ratzlaff heaved the 20lb weight throw 32 feet for another school record as well.
"That is what this is all about for me right now," said Taylor. "We are a rapidly developing program. Our long term goals are to be one of the top Cross Country and Track and Field programs in the NCAA Division I.
"However, our focus in the present is on helping each athlete improve, earning one more point than ever before, taking one more second off, or going an inch farther than ever before. The fact that we are having a lot of performances that are massive drops in time is a bonus. The goal is to get better, whether it is by the second or the minute doesn't matter."
The Lipscomb teams will compete this weekend in the Atlantic Sun Indoor Championships at ETSU in Johnson City, Tenn.
"The conference is getting stronger and stronger every year," said Taylor. "Times that ranked in the top ten last year are in the twenties this year in many events. It's going to be tough for us to score, especially with our emphasis being on outdoor track, however I know the team is focused and will give it everything they have. I think at this point in our program's rapid development we are trying to scrape up points wherever we can at conference, and continue to focus on seeing new PR's and season bests."
Full results from the Indiana Hoosier Hills Invite can be found on the Indiana University website.

by 48THRiLLS » Fri Jul 03, 2009 4:55 pmJustice League: Cry for Justice #1 (of 6)
I am very unfamiliar with these characters so this comic had a disadvantage from page one. It did start off quite well but once the Green Lantern and Green Arrow bail it all gets fuzzy with me. There were a bunch of moments that were probably meant to be powerful but were lost upon me. The overuse of the word JUSTICE! was just silly... this was definitely for DC readers as it should be, I had a hard time caring about any of these characters It would have been much more interesting if it had the big 3 as the spotlight characters, that is who I think of when I think of the Justice League. I did however like the art, very beautiful to look at. One of the things I like about the group is reading books that are foreign to me and I base a lot on how easy a book is to read and enjoy with little or no prior knowledge... that is where this book fails, I have said it once and will say it again... I should not have to wiki a book to enjoy it.
by Chubbles » Fri Jul 03, 2009 7:17 pmI'll post my review later on, haven't had a chance to read it yet.
as for next weeks pick, overall it's a pretty shit week in terms of viable options as far as i'm concerned but there is one in particular that should not only generate interest in the group but also should make for some good discussion next week.
Wednesday Comics #1 it is!!!!!!!

It's going to be interesting to see how people review this, each story on it's own? Or an evaluation of the format. Maybe both.
by Chubbles » Fri Jul 03, 2009 7:20 pm
each story on it's own might be a bit much but i'm sure some people will name their favorites and least favorite within their review.
by Punchy » Fri Jul 03, 2009 7:22 pm
I don't mean in detail, just Yoni-style reviews for each story, a sentence or so.
by Chubbles » Fri Jul 03, 2009 7:26 pm
that's cool with me...i just hope it's better than most of the other dc books out...i am not a fan of their monthlies at the moment
by Punchy » Fri Jul 03, 2009 7:26 pm
I bet it will, it's got their top creators and it's not constrained by continuity.

I got a greeting card from my grandma once that said the exact same thing!
by thefourthman » Fri Jul 03, 2009 10:39 pmThe Justice League has been through some rough times lately, what with final crises, charter member's deaths and some guy named McDuffie. Fortunately, James Robinson is here to save the day, whipping up on his type writer like he had a big "S" on his t-shirt.
The book starts out with Hal giving the Justice League a speech about Justice. He never quite spells out what his particular concept of Justice is all about, but the reader can see the he is clearly looking at law, righteousness and fairness.
He, as others, are disturbed by the state of the DC Universe after the events of Final Crisis. More than any other story sitting on your local comic shop's shelves right now, this one actually feels like Final Crisis not only happened, but mattered. Sure Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman's stories are happening in a darker world, but those tales could have happened with out the events of Morrison's channel surfing epic. This book embraces Libra's mysterious mechanics and the tone has been set for a world that is surviving after Evil won.
At its core, this issue is all set up. The reader is given four expert portrayals of characters that cut a wide swath across the DCU. Robinson takes characters as big as Hal and Ray alongside characters as obscure as Congo Bill and Mikaal and shows how they react to the deaths of people that matter to them. The reader gets to crawl in their heads for a moment and then see them quite literally "Cry for Justice." It's just a little much. The saccharineness of the conceit may be meant to lighten the tone, but it comes off all a bit Creative Writing 101-ish.
It would be great to report that this is the single flaw of the book. To an extent it is. Often Robinson gets too clever for his own good and this is no clearer then during the Atom sequence of the book. Having two little blue and red guys is confusing enough, but the inner monologue gets muddled when he tries to give it a call and response feel. Between trying to capture the panache of Simone's characterization of Choi and the clumsy handling of a common comic book trope (even Superman/Batman has employed the back and forth narration more effectively making it all the sadder that the scribe behind Starman Secret Files #1 misses it so badly here), it gets confusing.
The two slight missteps are forgiven as Robinson pretty much knocks the rest out of the park. He reestablishes the comradery of O'Neil's green buddies. Ray Palmer becomes a fierce beast. The crazy blue alien Starman makes an interesting debut and then just to make the hardcore fanboys forget themselves and squeal for joy, he throws in Congo Bill. The stories are compelling and as half the proposed team for the book, the readers should be given a delightful romp through comic book nirvana.
Cascioli provides his incredible painted art. The character designs are iconic, his action crisp, and the storytelling and emotional resonance is superb.
The artist's only misstep comes during Robinson's biggest area of weakness. When he first bursts onto the pages of this comic, Ray is tiny and in costume, but when he grows back to normal size, he is in street clothes. Ryan is in costume at both molecular aspects. It is easy to assume that this was to make the two characters easily distinguishable, however there is no explanation for it. Surely, the internet's wrath will fall upon me for not knowing the history of the Atom and knowing that issue 324 of Amazingly Tiny Guy's Adventures showed that he does this, but there needs to be an acknowledgment on the page. Otherwise, the reader, like myself is ripped out of the book, hurting his suspension of disbelief. Given the less then clear script at this point, it only further exacerbates a problem.
Making it all up though is the back matter. Robinson provides an essay showing not only his vast knowledge of comic history, but also his intense love for it. When I read his reflections on the medium, I always wonder what it would be like if he had become a historian instead of a mere comic writer. His passion bursts in his prose in a way that only The Golden Age (hey DC, Absolute this already) and, of course, Starman have done in his comic scripting. As an added bonus we get Wein and Syaf on the "Origin of Congorilla", a competent way to catch newbies up to speed.
An interesting start to a Justice League story has been long overdue. Here's to hoping the spark of the writer ignites this story like his best work - his essay certainly shows the necessary enthusiasm.
Anyhow as far as scoring goes, the story gets a 7 - because the Cry for Justice crap is way heavy handed and the Atom sense is muddled as hell.
The art gets a 9, it would get a 10, but that muddled Atom scene seeps into the art and the artist should have told RObinson to figure some way around it - why the hell does Ray grow big into street clothes?
Overall 8
JLA worth reading again. Thanks Robinson.
by thefourthman » Fri Jul 03, 2009 10:48 pmdoes Zechs buy his comics at Tabu's store where they replace the innards of like JLA CFJ #1 with Dark Night Strikes back #1 or some shit?

ding ding ding ding
although I do agree that the atom scene is horribly written (Zechs can be right about one thing)

This is a picture of my very first dress, made after the pattern "simplicity 4055".
I thought of sharing this project because it can be made by novice (I learned to sew by myself with it ! It wasn't really easy, but can be made).

Wow first project and no help! That is amazing awesome job. I like that you added the trim, that is brave for a first project. Looks like you are well on your way to becoming an expert. Great job and keep sewing!

Thank you very much !
I have to recognize I did unstitch some small parts 2 or 3 times and sewed again, luckily I had some free days ! I think sewing demands patience and perseverance, but I found it quite soothing… :)
Aug 8, 2013, 03.33 PMby MojoHollz
I am glad you found it soothing even when you had to remove stiches! Even people who have been sewing for 20 years still have to remove stiched sometimes, it happens. I would recommend getting a good set of straight pins (nice long ones with big heads). I do a lot of pinning before I stich my seams, helps to minimize mistakes. Also let the basting stich be your friend! Basting stiches are very easy to remove if you make a mistake.
Can't wait to see your next project!
Aug 10, 2013, 08.47 AMby Echoey
Thank you for your good advices !
It helps a lot, as I have no one around me that knows how to sew, I'm on my own :)
I am on a different project now, a dress from the fifties, but I take my time because it's not easy ! In France we have a proverb : "lentement mais sûrement", it means that if we do something slowly, it will get to an end for sure, but more carefully !

Alongside its role as a publisher of important historical records and new thinking the Association has always seen itself as a society of like-minded friends who enjoy sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm for the past. The summer meetings of the Association were very notable gatherings in the nineteenth century and they continue to be so today.
The Association holds two meetings each year, a week in mid-summer and an autumn weekend, visiting sites and monuments in all parts of Wales and, on occasions, in England, Ireland and abroad. Easter conferences with lectures on matters of current concern in history and archaeology are held on a bi-annual basis. It arranges a lecture in Welsh at the National Eisteddfod each year.

If you haven't been living under a rock, and have recently watched TV, you have seen a variety of advertisements for a whole slew of diet plans.
One of the major things that is trendy in the world of diet plans is the concept of the glycemic index. Many companies use the glycemic index as a major selling point for their diet plan, but the biggest question is: what is the glycemic index, and how does it help me lose weight?
Good for Weight Loss, but Bad for Your Health?
A glycemic diet plan is usually based on a meal plan that is built around you eating higher GI foods, which, means more processed and refined foods—like bagels and pasta.
The science behind a glycemic diet plan emphasizes the importance of carbohydrate foods, which provide more energy for your body.
Whenever you eat a carbohydrate food, it fuels your blood glucose levels, which gives your metabolism the energy it needs to burn fat more effectively.
The glycemic diet plan is definitely "hyped up" in the media, but research has shown that it does provide you with certain health benefits, if it is a GI plan that contains lower GI foods—like barley and beans—which are less refined and higher in fiber.
A big benefit of the lower glycemic diet plan has shown better glucose control for people with type 2 diabetes. This diet plan has also been shown to lower people's risk of getting the disease.
Diet plans with lower GI foods have also been shown to lower cholesterol, and to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Do the Benefits Outweigh the Drawbacks?
These are all great health benefits from a low glycemic diet plan, but are there any drawbacks to the media hype?
One of the biggest concerns among nutritionists is that the diet doesn't focus on other essential nutrients, like proteins and fat, when it comes to healthy weight loss.
It can also be tricky to monitor the balance of your meals in your diet plan when it comes to the glycemic index. Some foods have a different GI when eaten alone, compared to when they are combined with other foods.
Another potential hurdle to a glycemic diet plan is that each individual has different glucose responses, and what works for one person, may not work for someone else.
This is where seeing a nutritionist may come in handy, because they can customize a specific diet plan that will work for you, based on your individual glucose responses.
The Significance of the Glycemic Load
What's great about including the glycemic load in your diet, is the fact that the glycemic load takes into account what amount of carbohydrate is needed in a typical serving of food for glucose production, rather than what type.
Other than solely focusing on the glycemic index like so many other diet plans on the market, BistroMD places more emphasis on the importance of the glycemic load when it comes to healthy weight loss.
Basically, the glycemic load takes both the amount and the type of carbohydrate into account, and calculates how they impact blood glucose.
By including the glycemic load into your diet plan, you can eat more varieties of food, without hindering your weight loss progress.
When it comes to the hype of glycemic diet plans, it's okay to go with the hype. Just make sure you do your research, and that you don't neglect the importance of the glycemic load.

Following is a list of current systematic reviews from the EPOC Cochrane review group. Included are the 'plain language summaries' and links to the full abstracts. Full text of the Cochrane reviews is available by subscription only. (The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2005 Issue 4. Copyright © 2005 The Cochrane Collaboration. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.)
Not included in this list are organizational interventions, structural interventions, or reviews to improve specific types of practice. All are available here.
Continuing education meetings and workshops: effects on professional practice and health care outcomes
Educational meetings are one of the most common types of continuing education for health professionals, and an important aim of continuing education is to influence professional practice. This review looked at whether educational meetings and workshops aimed at qualified health professionals were effective in improving professional practice or health care outcomes. The following types of planned educational activities were included: meetings, conferences, lectures, workshops, seminars, symposia and courses that occurred off-site from the practice setting. The review found that interactive workshops could result in moderately large changes in professional practice. Lectures or presentations alone were unlikely to change professional practice.
Educational outreach visits: effects on professional practice and health care outcomes
An outreach visit is a personal visit to a health care provider in his or her own setting. It is also called 'detailing', and is a strategy commonly used by pharmaceutical companies. The review found that educational outreach visits combined with social marketing strategies appears to change professional practice, especially prescribing. The effects are small to moderate, although potentially important.
Local opinion leaders: effects on professional practice and health care outcomes
Local opinion leaders can also theoretically influence the behaviour of their colleagues. However, exactly how they might influence them remains unclear. The review concluded that while most trials found some benefit from using local opinion leaders to improve practice, only a few found any important impact on patients' outcomes. If it is possible to identify local opinion leaders, they may be important agents for change for some problems, but not others.
Audit and feedback: effects on professional practice and health care outcomes
Providing healthcare professionals with data about their performance (audit and feedback) may help improve their practice.
Audit and feedback can improve professional practice, but the effects are variable. When it is effective, the effects are generally small to moderate. The results of this review do not provide support for mandatory or unevaluated use of audit and feedback.
Mass media interventions: effects on health services utilisation
Mass media information on health-related issues may induce changes in health services utilisation, both through planned campaigns and unplanned coverage. Further research could target how best to compose media messages, and whether they have a different impact on members of the public and health professionals. More information is needed on whether mass media coverage brings about appropriate use of services in those patients who will benefit most.
Interprofessional education: effects on professional practice and health care outcomes
Interprofessional education (IPE) is defined as any type of educational, training or teaching initiative involving more than one profession in joint, interactive learning. This review looked at the effectiveness of IPE compared to educational interventions in which doctors, nurses etc were learning separately from one another. Although a large body of literature was identified on the evaluation of IPE, none of the studies met the inclusion criteria for the review. More rigorous studies, such as randomised trials, are needed in order to provide reliable evidence of the impact of IPE on professional practice and health care outcomes.
Tailored interventions to overcome identified barriers to change: effects on professional practice and health care outcomes
Some strategies to change the practice or behaviour of health care professionals are successful in improving health care while others are not. One explanation may be that there are different barriers to change in different settings and at different times. Change may be more likely if the strategies are specifically chosen to address the identified barriers. Barriers could be related to the individual (e.g. uncertainty about the risks of a procedure); related to social issues (e.g. peer pressure to perform a certain way); or related to the organisation (e.g. no access to equipment). And to successfully change behaviour, barriers should be identified and a strategy developed to overcome those barriers. In other words, it is thought that strategies tailored to overcome barriers should be more effective to change behaviour than non-tailored strategies or no strategy at all.
Fifteen studies evaluated tailored strategies for behaviour change in health care professionals. The results were mixed. It is therefore, unclear whether tailored strategies are more effective than non-tailored strategies or no strategy. Due to a small number of studies, it is also not possible to determine whether strategies tailored to overcome organisational barriers are more effective than those that were not. It is also not clear whether all barriers or important barriers were identified and addressed by the strategies. More research about how to identify and overcome barriers is needed.
Capitation, salary, fee-for-service and mixed systems of payment: effects on the behaviour of primary care physicians
This review examined the impact of different payment systems on primary care physician behaviour. Three payment systems were included: capitation (payment is made for every patient for whom care is provided), salary, and fee for service (payment is made for every item of care provided). There was some evidence that primary care physicians provide a greater quantity of primary care services under fee for service payment compared with capitation and salary, although long-term effects are unclear. There was no evidence, however, concerning other important outcomes such as patient health status, or comparing the relative impact of salary versus capitation payment.
Target payments in primary care: effects on professional practice and health care outcomes
This review looked at the effects of target payments on the behaviour of primary care physicians (e.g. general practitioners and family physicians). Under a target payments system a lump sum is paid to physicians who provide a certain quantity or level of care. Two studies assessed the impact of target payments on immunisation rates. There was some evidence that target payments resulted in an increase in immunisations by primary care physicians. However there was insufficient evidence to provide a clear answer as to whether target payments were an effective method of improving quality of care.
Telemedicine versus face to face patient care: effects on professional practice and health care outcomes
Telemedicine is using telecommunications technology for medical diagnosis and health care. It includes transmitting test results down phone lines, using video technology for long distance consultations or education, and many other uses. The review found studies showing various forms of telemedicine are feasible, but there is not yet enough evidence to show the effects on health outcomes or costs of many expensive uses of technology. Overall, people self-monitoring at home or having video consultations were satisfied with their experience. More research is needed to assess the effects of the range of telemedicine techniques.
Guidelines in professions allied to medicine
The issuing of clinical guidelines to nurses, midwives, dieticians and other health-care professionals allied to medicine may reduce variations in practice and improve patient care. This review found that, despite limited research, there is some evidence that guidelines can improve care and that professional roles can be substituted effectively, for instance a nurse can perform the function of a physician in certain circumstances. Such interventions offer the possibility of reduced costs but further research is needed in all areas of this topic.
Organisational infrastructures to promote evidence based nursing practice
Organisational infrastructures may be important in the development of evidence based nursing practice. We did not find any evaluated infrastructure developments that were of sufficient quality to be included in the systematic review. There are no clear implications for organisational practice as there is no good evidence about the impact of organisational infrastructures on the development of evidence based nursing practice.
Teaching critical appraisal skills in health care settings
Critical appraisal involves interpreting information in a systematic and objective manner. This review looked at whether teaching critical appraisal skills to health professionals led to changes in the process of care, patient outcomes or health professionals' knowledge/awareness. The review found that teaching critical appraisal skills to health professionals improved their knowledge of these skills. However there was a lack of good quality evidence as to whether teaching critical appraisal skills led to changes in the process of care or to changes in patient outcomes.

Thanks for explanations. I agree that in general those lines of the code are not equivalent (for example light_view_matrix may contain some rotation)
But in this particular case the light_view_matrix contains only a translation:
Code :glLoadIdentity(); glTranslatef(-light_position_ws[0], -light_position_ws[1], -light_position_ws[2]); glGetFloatv(GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, light_view_matrix);
The light_view_matrix looks like this:
Code :1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 -light_posX -light_posY -light_posZ 1
So those lines of code give me the same result when I run the program. If I'm still wrong please give some example.

Re: If Boba used earth weapons.......
Jetpacks do, infact, exist. They do not last very long, but he could still use one.
Message Boards - Boba Fett Fan Club → General → If Boba used earth weapons.......
Jetpacks do, infact, exist. They do not last very long, but he could still use one.
id say for replacin the EE3 the MP-5 with a few illegal mods to it hehe. and when i was in the army they showed us some protype body armour with a helmet with a HUD and everything was sweet, had where ur weapon could b fired around corners and stuff. cant really think of a replacement for jetpack thou well nothing i can talk about hehe classified.
Jot did it look anything like this? http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r102 … future.jpg
Sorry for the small size.
i dont know much about body armour but the ceramic plate sounds good.also the spetchnaz kevlar body siut with little ceramic plates inside it.
he can have a steyr AUG,the one with a grenade launcher,an FN 7.62 rifle ,walther SMG,parker hale sniper rifle,glock pistol,SIG saur pistol,ruger 44 magnum revolver,the spanish mini version of the MG42,lots of grenades,some sort of remote recon device,french 66 mil rocket launcher.kukri,sykes fairburn commando knife,claymors,barnet crossbow,and some sort of short sword.the best ones are antiques.i dont know of any which are made to be used in war anymore.obviosly he wont be carring all this at once!
Boba would use the AS50 which is a semi auto sniper rifle that can shoot clean through 2 metal plates concrete and is also as acurate as a spring bolt rifle
He'd have a concealed sidearm hidden somewhere, probably a PPK.
Walther ppk? No, too weak. IMI Desert Eagle in .50AE, .44 magnum, .357 magnum. Or the Jerico 941 (a.k.a. The Baby Eagle) in 9mm, .40S&W, or the 45ACP. He'd probably use the new dragon skin armor, it can withstand a heavy beating from 7.62x39 AP, and 5.56 AP rounds.
Ah, hadn't heard of the baby Eagle. I was choosing the PPK because of concealability. And since the Baby Eagle is smaller and packs much more of a punch I guess it would be the natural choice.
i imagine fett would have swat gear, night vision, the whole nine. but nothing heavy. fett needs his mobility.
boot knife. alot of non lethal weapons.
No way a Desert Eagle they are terrible weapons. For a close combat weapon it would have to be a Katana.
Unless there is also a gun called a katana, I do not think that Fett would use it. He never used light-sabers, so I do not see why he would use a sword. Perhaps a wakizashi.
He has got light sabers he may have used them, but he has wrist blades and has probaby used swords or long knives in combat before. If he used a sword that is probably what he would use though.
A katana would be a waste of space. If he did use a sword, it would likely be a wakizashi, which is shorter than a katana.
I don't think Boba would use swords, the closest to blades he would use would be his wrist blades possibly a KA-BAR knife hidden in his boot.
I once had a weird dream where I saw Boba Fett fighting of a bunch of rabid moose, and he was using an MP40 and dual Colt .45s from WWII.
But besides that, I think that he would use a Barret M-107. That's the most powerful sniper EVER! It is so strong, one shot can cut a man in half! It can fire 7 shots in 10 seconds (or 10 shots in 7 seconds; I always mix those up so much, I'm not even sure which one is right), and has more than a mile and a half range.
dude, thats sweet! where did you hear that?
I would like to know that aswell; I looked it up on a myriad of sites and I cannot find that.
WOW--um to say you guys know your weapons would be an understatement.
I don't know much about guns, but I could see him with an AK47 or Gatling gun. As for melee weapons...I could see him using something a katana, but I do agree from previous posts that that kind of sword might be too long for his taste/use. Pretty much anything MI would do.
I saw this story from space.com a while back :
http://www.space.com/businesstechnology … rrior.html
Oh yeah, jetpacks do exist--did you guys see the Rose Parade this year (aside from all the Star Wars stuff AND Boba!)? I think I read there is one kind that is powered by the quick breakdown of hydrogen peroxide by silver. The "exhaust" is steam and oxygen. But the flight time is limited depending on the person's carrying capacity for the necessary fuel supply. There's a few others I read about on Wikipedia.
I could picture Boba in a Hummer. NOT one of those sissy Hummers that have never been off-road--a REAL Hummer.
Ohhhh reading all this, I'm getting an idea for another topic thread...
Did you see the vehicle I posted? I can definately see him driving that. And draco, on that link it says M82/M107. Basically the same gun.
yes Jetpacks exist they've existed for a while now basically you have 2 tanks each connected by a tube that goes down and splits into 2 which are the thrusters each tank contains a different chemical one goes in first and then the othe goes in causing a small explosion carried down the pipe and creates thrust lifting you off the ground. As to which chemicals are in it 6hey are still testing many different chemicals, one of the most common though is hydrogen peroxideor some thing like that. However it is pretty big and I don't think Boba would wear it.
I could be wrong cuz this is all off the top off my head from when I read a Science Magazine. Yes, I'm into science it's what makes us know the world goes round.
It can fire 7 shots in 10 seconds (or 10 shots in 7 seconds; I always mix those up so much, I'm not even sure which one is right), and has more than a mile and a half range.
I don't think sniper's would even need to fire 7 rounds in 10 seconds. The most snipers would need would be like 5 shots at the most. And just for the record, the farthest shot was done by a Canadian at a range of a mile and a half. Our Canadians may not have the best equipped but we sure are trained good.
Okay,my older brother who use to be a cop( some of you know him as Infamous) said that a K-bar would definately be the blade of choice. SIG Sauer for a handgun,CAR-15( a shortie version of the M-16),and a MP5 machine pistol.They are light weight,sturdy and workman like...
Then you would add on body armor and visual and audio aids,and demolitions according to the job,and perhaps a little hazmat gear.He said Fett would want to be efficient not over burdened with unnecessary gear.Think SWAT team or Navy SEAL.
Hiya! I thought that was you...
*knows virtualbettie and Infamous*
Did you see the vehicle I posted? I can definately see him driving that. And draco, on that link it says M82/M107. Basically the same gun.
I stand corrected--that DEFINITELY trumps the Hummer!
Nice to see you on the boards, my vod sends his regards.

Niagara County Legislator David E. Godfrey has been drumming up support for the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station and the work of the Niagara Military Affairs Council.
"We need to make this base the base of choice not only for the governor but for the Department of Defense," Godfrey told the Wheatfield Town Board at its Aug. 27 meeting.
Even though Department of Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's visit to the base on Aug. 9 was a plus, his talk was "middle of the road" and the reality is the 107th Airlift Wing of the New York Air National Guard is still targeted, Godfrey said. He noted that the state has five guard bases and one, maybe two, will have to close.
Godfrey, who is a member of the Niagara Military Affairs Council, said both Niagara and Erie counties, plus local government, have to come together to promote new missions for the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station. The base is run by the Air Force and also is the home of the 914th Airlift Wing of the Air Force Reserve.
Niagara's base has the longest runways as well as room to expand, Godfrey pointed out. The base also has an economic impact on the area of $200 million annually.
NIMAC Chairman Merrell Lane confirmed this week that Hyjek & Fix LLC, a lobbying firm based in Washington, D.C., that has represented the group for about 17 years, is now working for the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs. As such, it will represent all five bases.
Lane said the possibility of Empire State Development grant funds being available for the fight to retain bases in the state is being investigated.
NIMAC is waiting to see what the strategy will be for the bases in New York, Lane said. He added that there is no specific information yet on the Air Force's plans for the base in general, although Panetta did say he considers Niagara an important base.
The Niagara County Legislature on Tuesday approved by a 10-3 vote the hiring of Capitol Public Strategies at $5,000 a month for the rest of year. Legislature Chairman William L. Ross said the firm, which is based in Albany and is expected to merge with a Washington firm, was hired by the county several months ago to work closely with county's Center for Economic Development. Tuesday's action extends the contract. The firm was hired to assist the county in seeking ways to improve economic development and bring new business, such as air cargo, into the county, but also among its duties will be working on behalf of the base, the county's largest employer.
"We did everything we could back in 2005 to retain the base," Ross said, referring to the fight against the federal Base Closure and Realignment Commission. "We'll continue to work along those lines. ... We know where our bread and butter is."
Lane said another round of possible BRAC suggestions for closing isn't expected until 2014 or later, so it's too early to launch an all-out public campaign like the one in 2005, but it's definitely a possibility for the future.
"We will be ready for whatever the Air Force decides to do," he said.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, traveling at a time of what some analysts say are profound and lasting changes in the US-Israel relationship, is carrying a couple of high-priority messages to America's closest ally in the Middle East.
On his first visit to Israel as Pentagon chief, Secretary Panetta's first order of business appeared to be to air US concerns about Israel's growing isolation from its neighbors – some of whom are also critical partners of the US.
In meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Secretary Panetta is sharing his concern that Israel is endangering its own security with the recent deterioration in its relations with neighbors like Egypt and Turkey.
Panetta is carrying another message from the White House to his Israeli interlocutors: Find a way to resume peace talks with the Palestinians.
"Panetta is carrying water for the White House with this message that the Israelis need to re-engage in the peace process," says James Phillips, senior research fellow for Middle Eastern affairs at the Heritage Foundation in Washington.
The US desire to see peace talks under way once again has more to do with US relations with the region than with any strong prospects for the Israelis and Palestinians to actually make progress towards a peace accord, Mr. Phillips says.
"Every White House wants something going because it's easier for the US to operate in the Arab and Muslim worlds when there's a peace process," he says. "This administration is no different in wanting the Israelis and Palestinians to get up on the two-seat bicycle, even if everybody knows there's no chance of a comprehensive settlement any time soon."
Panetta is also scheduled to meet in the West Bank with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minster Salam Fayyad.
Panetta's visit to Israel, part of a swing through the Middle East before he attends a NATO ministerial meeting in Brussels, comes just six months after former Defense Secretary Robert Gates made a similar trip. Mr. Gates was the first US defense secretary to visit Palestinian leaders in the West Bank.
But Gates was also reported (by Bloomberg's Jeff Goldberg) to have told a summer national security session at the White House shortly before he stepped down that Israel is an "ungrateful ally" that has given the US little or nothing – particularly concerning the peace process – in return for America's rock solid security guarantees.
Gates also reportedly said that Mr. Netanyahu was endangering Israel's security by failing to address his country's deteriorating regional relationships.
In that sense Panetta's warnings of Israel's growing "isolation" may have a worrisome echo for the Israeli officials he meets.
Some analysts, like Heritage's Phillips, are of the view that US-Israel military-to-military relations are stronger than ever, and that any flat notes should be heard as reflecting diplomatic differences between the two countries.
Noting that Panetta publicly made his "isolation" comment before arriving in Israel, Phillips says it could be the US defense secretary wanted to "put that particular US concern out there" before his military meetings. "Maybe that's a message that's really better for the politicians," he says.
But others say there is no getting around the fact that the US-Israel strategic partnership is changing – and that recent turbulence in the relationship reflects not only a changing region but – to some degree and on some issues – diverging national interests.
In a new study analyzing the US-Israel partnership entitled "Crossroads," Haim Malka of Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies concludes that "rising tensions in the bilateral relationship" reflect one key reality: "The US and Israel have changed and continue to change, but the two countries' relationship has not kept pace."
For one thing, the US must treat Israel less as a dependent, Mr. Malka says. And perhaps with something of an echo of Robert Gates, Malka concludes that the US and Israel must develop a relationship "that contains clearer commitments of what each side will do for the other – with an implicit understanding that there are limits to those commitments."

Rescued Kitty, Jacques!
Hi all,
i'm new here! And I recently rescued a stray cat, he climbed a tree and could not get down so I got the ladder and coaxed him down, I immediately fell in love him, he is so sweet and just loves to cuddle and sit on our lap. Naturally I first made a vet appointment, and isolated him away from my other two cats. I ordered a panel of blood work to check for feline AIDS, and leukemia, because the vet noticed he had gingivitis and wasn't sure if there was underlying causes. My question is this: could gingivitis be something totally unrelated to a serious disease? The vet really scared me by saying it, but I think she had to in order to be on the safe side and I'm glad I agreed to it because I wouldn't want him to live with those diseases. I lost one cat to feline AIDS after he was attacked by an infected cat. Just looking for some advice.
PS. They put him on Clavamox to clear his infections (he has a claw that was ripped out and got infected as well as a sore on his mouth) Also it it weird he is so friendly so i alerted the vet clinics around where i found him incase he had a previous owner, but no calls yet, so looks like i will be keeping him!
Thank you kindly for reading.
Thank you for rescuing this kitty
Did the vet give any indication of how old this kitty is? Gingivitis could be caused from poor diet or genetics.
Have you also contacted the local shelter and had him checked for a microchip? Somebody may be missing him terribly.

While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions. Stephen R. Covey
yes she said maybe 16 months, and i can understand how poor diet would be the culprit if he's be out and around as a stray. i called vet clinics, and shelters and gave them his description and my contact if anyone is missing him, also my vet checked for microchip and there wasnt one so for now i just wait for his blood results, he seems perkier with the antibiotics now, i'm just praying he doesnt have AIDS or leukemia the vet really terrified me when she said the gingivitis could have much more serious underlying causes like a serious virus...

The Great NFL Debate: Luck or Manning?
Who would you rather have: Peyton Manning for two years (and possibly two Super Bowl rings), or Andrew Luck for 10 years and a potentially limitless ceiling?
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
I ... it's week seven of the NFL season and the government is reopened which means the biggest problem Washington goes back to being the Redskins defects I'm Kevin Clark the Journal's NFL were there with me is my editor Geoff Foster Jeff Piaf probably the most anticipated game of the sheer the Broncos go to Indianapolis that's a big deal this is a good start is to play Indianapolis in the Broncos and talk much a contented said ... the testimony of pain at his side did manage to both stocks so ... debate has been renewed the call stop the bad one Sandy a go last week ... maybe the Colts didn't make the right decision drafting look first overall and dumping ... Peyton Manning and the coming off a four neck surgeries I don't know that it's on sports court Wednesday ... to know ... what I did this ... on a rare case of sports for both teams actually benefit right ... the Colts team they were to win fourteen there were only thirteen starts that season and a lot of times besides ... not having according to Curtis painter problem cannot dinner last year for ... missing the need to completely redo ... overhaul roster ... get a guy who people are saying is the biggest profit since John Elway right seems like a no brainer and save thirty million dollars in the process ... and then you know the Broncos they need to make the playoffs the winning team in the plant and Tim Tebow ... that means they have a lot about to go out and say I don't ... yet know what to know all think we're back a minute and a very good team which is what happened Tokyo here's my thought Peyton Manning was coming up for next years we know that the question that the arms ... who gets what he does have a strong arm and probably assuming only two of us ... drive inverter that or we'll we'll bring gab are only ... ninety two Mr Rosen of God and one in ten yards from the lights for this ... family would get seven Krosby on twenty twenty are still extant ... that's insane is really the sort of Dink and dunk and ... it says intellect which is getting into these insane numbers of seven touchdowns in one game when every whatever it is where the number is he's done it this year ... and has been selected as football smarts ... and coal to see you know part of being a decision maker ... is being oversee things happened the future that Coulter debt are going to go there were ... ten and six use your native maker on a visit ... from coast to win two straight Super bowls Creatura follows a baby can be insanely are so stacked so I think I would rather have that ... that now so that philosophical question as affair ... would you rather have ... the potential for ten years of greatness at the Colts have or guaranteed two or three years of absolute number one top contests it so hard that unemployment would flop ... no is obvious that look good early on Friday I remember ... the names first in the lead to a terror threat ... you know Mark Sanchez's first year in the lead people were saying he was committed to its franchise stars the yen is a little hard to tell a lot but honestly ... I think I would ... go a lot to like everything I see nothing he's getting better it's getting more accurate and he brings that since our intellects of the game in the way he prepares the way he approaches to pump Oil in sports is to win championships and I think that to the block is coming in with the quarterback class that has a couple guys there who are maybe just as good as him ... he will never be used as pigment ink is pain Manning is probably the best quarterback of all time ... so I think that in general you take the two or three years of unseen success of the front was about to have no we didn't know is gonna be like this was coming up this next surgery ... but I think they're all ... I'd much rather wanted to be a profit center and of course ... so ... they are different strokes for different bands like yes so op upset pick to win ... Wells allowed interesting games this week one team I think this may be getting too many points in terms of the points for his Buffalo at Miami Miami is now look back to the last two weeks to surf on back for another coming up by a camera in the bond that can run the ball and then lost the Saints lost the Ravens and Buffalo pretty strong last weekend with them was the quarterback so I would say that ... this is the most insane pick them going in May ... maybe all year maybe my lecture ... I think Jacksonville at home is going to beat the egg the Chargers I mean I think Justin II Raymond ... who was suspended for the first four games this season is at a different dimension I think he's he's getting seventeen yards per catch ... the Chargers had the twenty eighth best past effects or weaken the NFL shore weak emotional win on the Wesco's ... charges over the line up for mention cause ... I really like any might mimic liking ... this alot if I did find them ... okay now one twenty seven point underdog debt will will will see what have I really think the Jaguars performance at home in the day with a look so bad right so I think has enough going on said ideally unless they don't ideas in fifteen fifty was in love with the most jugglers ... anyway that's it for us ... good luck with weak said ...

Here's Rays outfielder Wil Myers, in the fourth inning of today's playoff game against the Red Sox, doing God knows what.
The play resulted in a ground rule double for David Ortiz, and sparked a five-run inning for the Sox, much to the delight of these two dorks:
Either Myers decided to Bartleby this play for unknown reasons, or he was "called off" by someone in the Red Sox bullpen. We kind of hope that it's the latter, because we are all for baseball players doing things that will undoubtedly annoy curmudgeonly sportswriters.

Scottish Premier League star David Goodwillie could be on his way to England to play for Blackburn Rovers, as a £2 million offer was accepted by his club Dundee Untied.
But the Barclays Premier League side has competition from another Scottish club, as Rangers have pitched a rival bid.
Dundee manager Peter Houston confirmed the interest on both sides, but added that while Rangers have offered a similar amount, Blackburn is the club leading the race to sign up the Scottish striker.
"I'm led to believe he's just about there with Blackburn," said Houston.
"It's no secret Blackburn are interested in him. The clubs have agreed a fee. David Goodwillie is likely to go if he can agree terms.
"The chairman is happy with the offer Blackburn have made. I think Rangers have made an improved offer but he hasn't said to me whether he's happy with that or not.
"It's between the two clubs just now but certainly the only club that has spoken to David is Blackburn Rovers, and David's advisers haven't agreed a fee yet. I don't know what the Rangers offer is. I have heard it's very similar but only the add-ons from Blackburn are better, that's all I know."
Goodwillie, 22, has made 117 appearances for Dundee United, has began to feature for Scotland at international level and earned the SPFA Young Player of the Year award last season.
The deal is expected to go through on Monday, as Houston said yesterday: "I just spoke briefly to the chairman and he says it's almost there and it could happen tomorrow. I don't think it will happen today. It's getting there."
But the Dundee manager was disappointed to be letting the young forward leave, especially for the amount of money placed on the table, even with the extra add-ons, worth £800,000, tied into the contract
He said: "I told the chairman from yesterday I didn't want to hear anything that was going on.
"I know I'm losing David, I knew David wasn't going to be playing.
"If he'd been playing in England in the Npower Championship the way he has been playing in the SPL, a Premiership club would probably have paid more money.
"I think they've got a bargain."

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Lipscomb men's golf team closed its spring regular season with a ninth place finish in the Bluegrass Invitational Sunday with a three-round team total of 899 (295-300-304).
"It was a good weekend for us, but a little disappointing" Lipscomb coach Will Brewer said. "We struggled, especially in the first round, with our putting. And for the most part, we couldn't get much going in any of the three rounds."
The Bisons were led by Paul Kleine-Kracht's 21st place finish. He posted a 73-77 on Saturday before closing with a one-over par 73 in the final round Sunday for a 223 total.
"Paul really played well for us," Brewer said.
Caston Roberts has been swinging the hot stick for the Bisons as of late and kept that trend on Saturday, carding 74-72. But on Sunday, Roberts fell back with a 79. His 225 total placed Roberts in a tie for 32nd.
Stoney Crouch and Tyler Leroy each posted 228 and finished 45th. Crouch shot rounds of 76-75-77, while Leroy fired 75-76-77.
Sydney Chung opened with a one-over par 73 in round one. He then followed that with a 79 and 77 in the final two rounds. Chung finished 53rd after posting a 229 weekend total.
Lexington native Taylor Combs fired the second-best final round total for the Bisons with a 74. He shot 78 on the opening 18 holes before carding an 82 in the second round.
"Taylor hasn't played a whole lot this season, but we thought his knowledge of the golf course could really help us this week, and it did," Brewer said. "We have really been working on his swing technically, and it is starting to pay off. He has really been striking the ball much better in the last few months.
"He didn't play too well on Saturday, but he did shoot 74 today and finished strong."
Kentucky, serving as the host, took home the Bluegrass Invite crown after shooting 12-under par, 852.
"There were three really good teams in this field," Brewer said. And if we had played well, we should have finished fourth or fifth.
"The greens were tricky. All of the guys struggled to make the birdie and par putts like we have been doing all season. We did not score well this weekend."
The Bisons return to action on April 20-22 in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship in Braselton, Ga.
"The players are still on a learning curve and I hope they are storing this in their memory banks for the next event," Brewer said. "We are making progress each week. If we can put something together and have good putting, I think we can finish in the top two-thirds of the conference and use that as a benchmark for the future."

BARCELONA (Reuters) - South Korean telecom executives have a message for European cousins who have long looked on in envy at the highly connected Asian market: Be careful what you wish for.
South Korea, the world's most wired country with 30 percent of its 50 million mobile users on superfast networks, has inspired many European operators ahead of their own rollout of networks based on LTE, or fourth-generation technology.
But SK Telecom Co Ltd , the country's largest operator with more than half of the market, and second player KT Corp , told Reuters that although the rollout of faster networks had been good for consumers, they were still struggling to make money on the technology 18 months after launch.
"Our European colleagues complain that the explosion in data has not fully happened for them, that it did not come to reality," Suk-Chae Lee, the head of KT Corp, told Reuters at the Mobile World Congress on Tuesday.
"In Korea, they are data crazy. We have unprecedented demand. We cannot handle it. But the issue we have is that they are not willing to pay enough. So, the fundamental problem is, can we make any money out of it?"
South Korea is often held up by European governments as the model they would most like to replicate, with superfast networks enabling millions of people to shop online, communicate and become more productive.
The country has three operators who have been forced to fight for every consumer, spending heavily on marketing and handset subsidies and continually offering more for less to lure in and keep their subscribers.
"The traffic increases but the revenue does not necessarily follow," SK's chief technology officer Jae W Byun said in an interview.
"We have seen about a $13 increase in average revenue per user compared with 3G. So, it is good money, but it may not be enough to justify the huge investment needed in LTE."
Byun added that the profitability of LTE would improve as SK expects the number of subscribers on the technology to grow to 60 percent by the end of the year, from 30 percent currently.
European operators such as Telefonica SA
Their optimism will be tested when 4G services reach more subscribers in Germany, France, Scandinavia and Britain this year.
In contrast, in the United States AT&T Inc
The lessons from Korea are not all harsh, though.
SK's Byun said rolling out faster networks could enable a mobile operator ranked number two or three to become market leader because the improvement to the consumer is so significant.
But he also noted that once one operator launched 4G, others had to follow quickly or face being left behind.
"If you want to change the game, then take a risk and invest," said Byun.
Customers of both firms on average consume 1.8 to 1.9 gigabytes of data per month, with users spending hours watching video on YouTube, browsing the web and social networking on smartphones and tablets.
According to research from Cisco, an average smartphone user on slower 3G networks consumes around 342 megabytes. South Korea's leap to 1.8 gigabytes followed an 80 percent jump in mobile data traffic on 2G, 3G and 4G networks in 2012.
"LTE is very beneficial to the people but still the big question remains, can we go on?" KT's Suk-Chae Lee said. "It is a blessing to customers but it is a curse on the operators."
The problem will likely get worse, with analysts at Citi predicting 70 percent of the country's mobile users would be on 4G networks by 2014.
SK says it cannot predict when the network will break even because it depends on marketing costs. Its rival noted that with technology developing so quickly, companies have to continually develop new infrastructure, giving less time to recoup the cost.
"The question remains, how do you build out a network while ensuring that the builder gets a minimum return for their investment?" KT's Suk-Chae Lee said. "It is a dilemma."

Read Full Report »
A health care system that contains costs and drives value must include a good public plan if the broad goals of reform—universal insurance and improved value—are to be achieved. Private insurance and public insurance have distinct strengths and weaknesses, and thus should be encouraged to compete side by side to attract enrollees on a level playing field that rewards plans that deliver better value and health to their enrollees. Public insurance has a better track record at reining in costs, while preserving access; it has pioneered key quality and payment innovations that have often set the standard for private plans; it is essential to set a standard against which private plans must compete to drive value and can be a source of stability for people. Private plans are a source of new benefit options, and continuing pressure for innovation in benefit design and care management strategies.
According to opinion polling, most Americans want public and private insurance competing side by side so that they can choose the best option for themselves and their families. Both should have a chance to prove their strengths and improve their weaknesses in a competitive partnership.

Integrating Family Financial Security into Cradle-to-Career Pipelines: Learning Lessons from Promise Neighborhoods
With support from Citi Foundation, PolicyLink and the Promise Neighborhoods Institute at PolicyLink (PNI) joined forces with five PNI communities (Brooklyn, New York; Los Angeles, California; Chula Vista, California; Orlando, Florida; and Indianola, Mississippi) to design and carry out strategies for embedding financial security into their pipelines of supports. The collaborative effort set out to embed the concepts of budgeting, emergency savings, saving for college, credit access, into existing PNI programs. The goal was to enhance the overall outcomes of Promise Neighborhoods by empowering youth and their families to gain control over their financial lives and thus, their economic futures. This report documents the early lessons from each promise neighborhood site and highlights the importance of including a financial security strategy as an essential part of a cradle-to-career continuum.
A Developmental Pathway for Achieving Promise Neighborhoods Results
This important tool was developed to help Promise Neighborhood communities and the field at large better understand the external conditions and developmental milestones that are needed to build the cradle to career continuum and to achieve the goals/outcomes set forth in Promise Neighborhoods. The tool illustrates the developmental pathways necessary to achieve the Promise Neighborhoods vision.

I was very happy to know he got a break with Sargunam's film - Vaagai Sooda vaa. And more than anything else this was a deadly song. Super lyrics to say the least. I had a ball while working on this song. A song like this doesn't come to me all the while and am super glad that Ghibran chose me to sing this one.
And I wonder how a poet, a man, is able to suss out what a girl could feel at a given point in time and write lyrics. And maybe for the first time I heard Modaiketthan, a type of a keerai in a song. I know this one, and the director was surprised I did, when I recognized this one and giggled. Modaiketthan was a regular in my home when my grandad was around. He used to say its excellent for the joints. Especially if you had knee problems or maybe even back problems. Not too sure now if it was either or both. Modaiketthan Rasam vechu madakkathaan paakkuraen.. What lyrics. Kick everything :p
Ghibran is on Twitter @MGhibran. Do let him know if you liked the song and the album.

San Isidro, Lima Travel Guide
San Isidro Summary
- Along the Costa Verde, a popular spot particularly during the summer
- Several attractive parks and gardens
- A hot spot of restaurants, bars, and shops
- Home to ancient ruins
- Tons of hotels
- Lively business district
- Lots of tourists, despite being a residential area
- Heat can become intense during the summer months
What It's Like
Situated next to Miraflores, San Isidro, along with its neighbor, is one of the most popular places to stay in Lima. Though San Isidro is largely a residential neighborhood, it caters to tourists with its multitude of restaurants and bars, its high-end shopping (particularly for jewelry), and its proximity to the beach. It is also somewhat of a business district, and thus attracts visitors to its convention center and large corporations.
San Isidro is a pedestrian-friendly area, with several parks, including Parquet el Olivar lined with ancient olive trees. Huallamarca, a site of ancient temple ruins, can also be found in San Isidro.
Where to Stay
Most tourists stay in Miraflores or San Isidro so visitors will have no trouble finding a hotel; many hotels are high-end, but there are some budget-friendly options in the neighborhood. Many visitors like to stay near the beach, but staying near the parks is also nice, and inland hotels are closer to the golf course and the ancient temple ruins.

This interactive, online module reviews the basics of the the electromagnetic spectrum and makes the connection between radiation theory and the images we get from weather satellites. Students will learn about: the electromagnetic spectrum; electromagnetic waves; the electromagnetic spectrum and radiation theory; and how satellite radiometers "see" different sections of the spectrum. The module is part of an online course for grades 7-12 in satellite meteorology, which includes 10 interactive modules. The site also includes lesson plans developed by teachers and links to related resources. Each module is designed to serve as a stand-alone lesson, however, a sequential approach is recommended. Designed to challenge students through the end of 12th grade, middle school teachers and students may choose to skim or skip a few sections.

GBS syndrome
I am posting this same story all over again, hoping that someone could actually help me. It is not about me, this is about my best friend. The story goes like this... In january this year, she was diagnosed with GBS syndrome. First tingling sensation, then numbness first in her hands, than her feet, then legs and she was admitted to hospital on time, did LP and results shown she has GBS. She was in Spain at that moment, coz she is professional volleyball player who was playing in Spain at that moment. She was in hospital for one month, received treatment by IVIG for 5 days. She completely lost her reflexes, could barely walk, make small steps. In one month she got out from the hospital on her own two feet, without wheelchair, without any assistance. She got back home where she had to take 4 weeks treatment for lyme disease. After that, we have been taking some light walks, nothing hard because she completely lost her strength. Now, 7 months after GBS story, she was under some heavy physical work, preparing for new season. Now the problem is the pain, the heavy pain she feels, the tingling sensations and burning the she feels both in her arms and legs. Soemtimes she says she has problem with heavy legs, and very often get into pain crisis because of that pain she feels. She is very active, has two trainings per day so she is always under heavy training. Now, my question is what can she do? She is taking painkillers but that doesn't do well, where should she go to? What should she do about that problem? Is it normal for athletes to have that problems with gbs? In our country neurologists are not so familiar with GBS syndrome, so please, if you could help me, i would be thankful. She is really suffering and the worst thing is when you watch someone so close suffer so much without opportunity to help him....
Thank you very much in advance.
Thank you very much in advance.
First of all, i am really sorry for your friend and hope she gets better. Do you know if she has noticed any change in her pain recently? Is it getting worse, better or is it constant?
