NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - U.S. hospitals may have a financial incentive not to implement strategies and techniques that are known to reduce surgery-related complications, according to a new study.
The findings do not mean that "any hospital out there is saying, 'we can make more money if we have more complications,'" said Dr. Atul Gawande, the study's senior author from Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.
But Gawande and his colleagues found that a hospital system in the southern U.S. ended up with more profit per patient - technically referred to as "contribution margin" - when its patients had one or more complications after surgery.
Depending on the procedure, between 3 and 17 percent of procedures will involve complications, which on average add about $11,500 of costs per patient, wrote the researchers in Tuesday's issue of JAMA.
Previous research had suggested complications actually hurt hospitals' bottom lines, but hospitals typically get paid per treatment and can get more money if - for example - a person getting their hip replaced ends up on a ventilator.
For the new study, the researchers reviewed how much money 12 hospitals located in the southern U.S. spent and received after caring for over 34,000 surgical patients in 2010.
In total, 1,820 patients experienced one or more complications after surgery that ranged from infections at the surgical site to strokes and cardiac arrests.
The researchers found the hospitals saw a profit per patient when patients were either privately insured or on Medicare, the federal health insurance program for the disabled and elderly.
On average, hospitals ended up with about $17,000 of profit for privately-insured patients who didn't have a complication after surgery. That compared to about $56,000 in profit for privately-insured patients who had one or more complications.
Among Medicare patients, the hospital profited about $1,900 when there were no complications. That compared to about $3,600 in profit when Medicare patients had one or more complications.
In contrast, the hospitals lost money - regardless of whether or not there was a complication - when their surgeons operated on patients who paid for their own surgery or were on Medicaid, the federal and state health insurance program for the poor. These people only made up about one in 10 of the hospitals' patients.
Overall, hospitals ended up with about $8,000 profit for every complication.
According to the researchers, despite the apparent profit, the hospital system included in the new study ended up losing money at the end of the year once fixed cost - such as light and water bills and other facility costs - were included.
But the per-patient profit is what hospitals worry about, Uwe Reinhardt, a healthcare economics researcher from Princeton University in New Jersey, told Reuters Health.
"These are (fixed) costs that are sunk. All you can hope is that you recover all or some of the cost of the patient care," Reinhardt said.
Nancy Foster, vice president for quality and patient safety policy at the American Hospital Association, told Reuters Health the study shows hospitals are actually punished when they introduce quality-improvement programs, because their loss would be even greater.
"The payment structure have been set in a way that sometimes when hospitals move to do something that is clearly in the patients' interests… They may suffer a financial setback from doing what's right for the patient," said Foster, who wasn't involved in the new research.
Gawande told Reuters Health that their results suggest it's in the hospitals' interest to move to a payment system that incentivizes the adoption of quality control measures, such as check lists. (Gawande is author of The Checklist Manifesto.)
One of those payment systems, says Gawande, is a bundled payment system, where hospitals receive one payment for a patient's entire stay.
Reinhardt wrote in an accompanying editorial that Medicare, which has been bundling payments since the mid-1980, may be considered a "smarter payer" than private insurers based on the findings.
"Medicare appears to have largely avoided rewarding hospitals financially for avoidable mistakes," wrote Reinhardt.
Gawande said his group has seen reductions in complications and deaths after working with the group of southern hospitals to renegotiate contracts with insurers and introduce quality-improvement programs.
"We don't know the answer to the next step of the question - whether the reduction will hold over time and whether it will help them flip from loss to gain," he said.

Viewpoint located in Pastoriza, in the parish of Carbia (Vila de Cruces). On days of good visibility, the summit of Monte Madanela (650 m) provides a panoramic view of inland Galicia with a range of up to 50 km.
The summit area of Monte Madanela was dominated in the 14th century by a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene; in 1493 it was granted, along with the Pastoriza estate, to the count of Altamiraby the last abbot of Carboeiro. The Madalena hillside features a "castro" (Celtic settlement) called A Eira dos Mouros, whose location is not at all strategic.
To reach Madelena, you have to turn off at km 30 on the PO-960 road and then follow the signposts.

One of the top leaders at the center of Naval Postgraduate School"s public shaming in November has landed a new job — with the Navy.
Leonard Ferrari, the ousted former provost, is being sent to the Navy"s Office of Naval Research Global in London, Navy spokesman Peter Vietti said.
Ferrari was paid throughout his administrative leave, said NPS spokesman Bill Clinton. More information about his new rate of pay and position will be available Tuesday, Vietti said.
Word of the move did not come from a press release issued by the school, but from sources at NPS who requested anonymity because of their positions.
"This isn"t a move that NPS is probably going to put on the Internet," said Pete Randazzo, president of NPS" civilian workers union and not one of the sources.
Ferrari was removed from his position in November, along with President Dan Oliver, after a report from the naval inspector general accused the Monterey school of not adhering to Navy and federal rules. Ferrari was placed on administrative leave.
He earned an average of $196,830 a year the five years he was provost, according to the Department of Defense.
The school is still dealing with the fallout of the naval inspector general report, which unseated Ferrari and Oliver and criticized their alleged shift from education of military personnel to outside research.
Interim President Jan Tighe sent a letter two weeks ago to Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus and Chief of Naval Operations Jonathan W. Greenert to reaffirm the school"s dedication to research.
Included in the letter was a faculty resolution that affirms its "long-standing commitment to graduate education," but declares "scholarship and the collaborative generation of new knowledge through research are essential components of the graduate education of students."
In April 2012, Oliver told the schools" board of advisers that Ferrari planned to accept a two-year position with the Office of Naval Research, or ONR. He said Ferrari would retain tenure at NPS, as well as work concurrently with the school on special research parks.
The ONR oversees quick-turnaround technologies and long-term basic research. Its objective is to "support a Navy and Marine Corps that can prevail in any environment," said Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Matthew L. Klunder before the House Armed Services Committee last month.
He said the global branches, such as the London office, establish connections with international researchers to "gain new perspectives, identify trends and forecast threats."
The school did recently appoint a new provost, Doug Hensler, who will leave his post as dean of Wichita State University"s business school. He has not responded to frequent requests from The Herald for an interview.
Efforts to reach Ferrari and Oliver were unsuccessful.
Phillip Molnar can be reached at 646-4487 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I've arranged the round-up in categories by type of the dishes and then by cuisine:
2. Priya of Priya's easy N Tasty Recipes sent Bread N Salmon Fish Pakora ,
which is her own creation , as she never likes gravies made with this fish(here we're very similar, Priya, Me too never liked it), she thought to make pakoras with this fish and leftover bread slices. Great Idea, Priya...I'll surely try this yummy recipe
3. Soma of eCurry sent Tandoori Fish . Tandoori is a traditional North and North-western Indian cuisine and Soma made this dish with home-made tandoori masala, not with store bought one. Amazing energy you have, Soma and in her place, she explains nicely about this amazing cooking technique, Tandoor and the ingredients of Tandoori masala.
4. Sudeshna of Cook like a Bong sent several entries, but I was drooling over this yummy Macher Dimer(Fish roe) Vada. This is an authentic recipe from Bengali cuisine. She gave a very good and elaborate explanation on Fish roe, which you all should check out. Just lovely, Sudeshna.
5. My contribution in this category is Fish Cutlet, a popular snack of Bengal and an authentic Bengali recipe. This is little time consuming but very enjoyable snack. You can please your guest or anyone with this yummy snack. Serve with cucumber-onion-tomato slices and a dollop of Bengali kasundi(mustard relish)..ummmm yumm
6. Another entry from my side, which is a side dish I make very frequently, Potato & Shrimp Fry. I don't know about the authenticity of this recipe, but my mom used to make this whenever we had shrimp at home. It goes very well with simple meal menu like, lentil, rice and this fry.

2. Main Course (Curry/gravy) :
I've categorise this section with recipes from different cuisines, as that was my intention of doing this event to learn authentic recipes from different places........
1. Ann of A delighted Foodie sent an authentic fish recipe from Central Kerala,
Mullan Vattichathu/Striped Ponyfish in a spicy,tangy yet mild gravy, she made it with ponyfish, which is very new to me, known as Mullan in Kerala. The color of the gravy is absolutely gorgeous, Ann
Gayathri and Renuga of Ideas for a wonderful home maker. Spicy Kerala Fish curry....In their blog, they blog on different areas like, home decoration, on kids as well as yummy recipes, everything in one place to make your home heaven in this World..keep the good work, you 2.
This cuisine is prevalent in the coastal parts of Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka. The manner in which Konkani cuisine prepares fish gives it another taste altogether. This is because of the marinating procedures involved in the process.
Fish recipes from Konkani Cuisine sent by one of the most active blogger in the blogosphere at least I know, Meera of Enjoy Indian Food. She sent us two recipes..
Kotambir Methi (in south canara style) :This fish curry is traditionally made with Indian Mackerel, but she used Mahi mahi or Rainbow trout fillet
Sungatha Fanna Upkari(fiery Prawn curry) : she shares that she has a great passion for seafood(here we have a similar taste bud, Meera) and how she had missed fish tastes after moving to US. We all had gone through this face, Meera. Even you find fish in US, it's not similar like India. The curry look really fiery, wow what a red vibrant color!! Just Lovely........
Himachali Cuisine :
Cuisine of Himachal is very similar to North Indian cuisine yet it definitely has a uniqueness of its own. Influence of Punjab and Tibet can be clearly seen in the Himachal cuisine. Himachalis are most hospitable, and inviting an 'acquaintance'(this could be someone they've just met!) home is a way of life. The host will then offer whatever food there is in the house, for they believe that a guest should not leave without eating. In case you have no time for it or turn down the offer for some reason, you will find something being stuffed into your bag – be it just green apples!
Andhra Cuisine :
Andhra Cuisine or the cuisine of Andhra Pradesh is reputedly known as the spiciest of all indian cuisines.
Jyothi of Shadruchulu sent her mom's recipe made in telengana style fish Curry. Telengana is a region in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Telengana cuisine is flavoured by red hot chillies and tamarinds.

Transition of DigiDelivery central site services scheduled for January 24-25, 2009
Chris Markle here from Aspera... This message is being sent to all DigiDelivery Administrators regarding the upcoming transition of the DigiDelivery central services from Digidesign to Aspera. The actual transition will occur sometime during the weekend of January 24-25, 2009. We'll provide a more concrete timeframe later next week.
* * *
This note contains important information about upcoming changes in the DigiDelivery world and asks you to do some things on your end to prepare for those changes. Please read this message in its entirety to help avoid any interruptions to your DigiDelivery-based operations.
Aspera will soon be transitioning the DigiDelivery Central Site services from Digidesign over to us. That cutover is scheduled for the weekend of January 24-25, 2009. We will be sending another notice in about a week and a final notice two (2) working days from the actual cutover date.
There are two (2) things you need to do prior to this cutover to ensure that this transition does not affect your file transfer operations:
1. Update the server software in your DigiDelivery unit(s)
After the transition, servers that are running server software version 2.1.3 or earlier will no longer be able to contact the central site for any purpose other than to update the server software to a more current version. This means that other things that require the services of the central site, primarily Server-to-Server relay, will no longer work.
To avoid any interruptions to your DigiDelivery services, please use the Check for Software Updates link in the DigiDelivery administration interface to update your server software to the current 2.2.1 version. If you have more than one server, remember to do this for each.
2. Update the client software for certain users
While we recommend that all users update their client software, this update is required for some of your users.
DigiDelivery client users that are on the same network as your DigiDelivery server (generally in the same office), and that are receiving deliveries from the server, will require updates to their client software in order for their receive operations to continue to run at the higher speeds of your local network. If the affected users do not upgrade to 2.1.1, their receive operations will be directed to the external IP address of your DigiDelivery server and will either: a) run slower; or b) fail completely if the server's external IP address is not accessible from your internal network.
Your users on other networks can continue to use the earlier 2.1 version of the client. As well, clients that only post (upload) to DigiDelivery servers, including from the same local network, can continue to use the older 2.1 client. This 2.1.1 release applies specifically to LOCAL users who RECEIVE deliveries.
If you are unsure of which case applies to you or your users, we recommend upgrading to this new version (2.1.1) since the updated client will work with the current central site as well. The update can be made at any time before the cutover.
The updated 2.1.1 clients are now available on the Aspera web site at http://www.asperasoft.com/downloads/digi-client.html. The upgrade is a very minor one but is very important for this subset of users.
We have also enabled a facility that will notify your 2.1 client users of the update. The notification check will occur whenever they start their 2.1 client. If they reply OK to this notification, they will redirected to Asperas download web site where they can download and install the 2.1.1 client. Their 2.1 client will still be running if they elect to just return to it and use it as-is. They will also be able to check a box in the notification that will tell the system to no longer remind them of this newer update. And obviously if they install the 2.1.1 update then to notifications will stop.
NOTE: Effective with this release, Mac OS9 is no longer supported. Macs running OS9 will have to remain on the older client (with the associated issues noted above) or have an OS upgrade to a supported OS X release.
If you and your users get ready by doing these two things, then you all should be unaffected by the cutover process.
If you have any questions about this, please contact Aspera Technical Support at firstname.lastname@example.com. Out support team will take questions on this specific topic whether or not you have a support agreement with us.
Thank you for your continued support of DigiDelivery.

About us
The German Record Critics' Award
The German Record Critics' Award ("Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik") was established in 1980 to set the "most rigorous standards for supreme achievement and quality" in the field of music recording.
The German Record Critics' Award Association consists of up to 156 music critics, writers, musicologists and editors in Germany, Austria and Switzerland actively involved in the assessment of CDs and DVDs. Its mission is to provide producers, composers, artists and music lovers with an honest guide to new releases of true artistic significance. The critics nominate from the latest releases in 32 categories ranging from opera to rock, folk, blues — even Indonesian Gamelan orchestra — produced by large and small, domestic or foreign record companies. These Nominations feature a wide range of performers, from newcomers to stars, and include bestsellers as well as rare little-known gems.
To remain independent from the commercial interests of the production companies, the jury officially registered as a charity in 1988. The Association is supported by the Minister of State for Culture and the Media. In January 2010 the office moved from Berlin to "Haus der Kultur" in Bonn, host for a variety of cultural institutions promoting music and cultural affairs. The members of the jury give their time voluntarily, alongside their professional jobs as jounalists, editors or musicologists. They broadcast programmes for public, private and online internet radio, write music reviews for newspapers and specialized magazines, do research on music history and even play music as DJs in international clubs.
"Annual Awards" ("Jahrespreise") are presented to as many as 15 outstanding productions, and "Certificates of Special Merit" ("Ehrenurkunden") are awarded to three artists and producers for lifetime achievement in recording.
With its "Quarterly Critics' Choice" ("Bestenliste") the German Record Critics' Award recommends new releases which merit special attention, either for the quality of interpretation or creativity, or for their value to the repertoire. These lists provide a candid picture of new releases of outstanding importance judged on purely artistic grounds. Every CD and DVD released during the past three months is eligible for selection in the following 32 categories:
1. Symphonic and Orchestral Music
2. Concertos
3. Chamber Music
4. Piano Music
5. Harpsichord and Organ Music
6. Opera I (CD, DVD, up to 1800)
7. Opera II (CD, DVD, Beethoven and later)
8. Choral (with and without orchestra)
9. Baroque and Pre-Baroque Music
10. Lieder and Vocal Recital
11. Historical Recordings
12. Contemporary Classical Music
13. Film Music
14. Spoken Word and Cabaret
15. Rock
16. Pop
17. Alternative
18. German-language Singer/ Songwriters
19. Folk and Singer/ Songwriter
20. Traditional Ethnic Music
21. World Music
22. Jazz (traditional)
23. Jazz (Swing / modern)
24. Blues and Blues-related
25. R&B, Soul & Hiphop
26. Recordings for Children and Youth (CD/ DVD)
27. DVD Productions (Opera & Ballet / Classical Music / Non-Classical)
28. DVD Jazz (concerts, documentaries)
29. Crossover Productions
30. Hard & Heavy
31. Club & Dance

As we noted in our 6 scary home pollutants to avoid post, formaldehyde is a big bad. Formaldehyde, a colorless, but pungent-smelling gas is used in all sorts of toys, such as pressed wood or plywood dollhouses and play kitchen sets. Not cool since formaldehyde is linked to numerous health problems, including cancer. That said, if your child's dream gift is a play kitchen set, and you want to avoid formaldehyde, you're left with just a few expensive choices. Most solid wood kitchens cost an arm and a leg; often $500+. But, if they're not expensive, there's a good chance they contain formaldehyde. What to do? Luckily, the gorgeous play kitchen sets from Heartwood Natural Toys won't completely break the bank, yet are still ultra safe for your child.

The realistic faucet is made with black walnut or poplar and the oven provides plenty of room to cook. A nice under cupboard area is perfect for storing pots and pan or could even become a pretend fridge. As a bonus for parents, this kitchen comes fully assembled.

So I've got a great idea, but before I develop it, important question: How restrictive are you on applying the Paladin's Code? GMs go all over the spectrum on what breaks the code or not, what counts as as 'associating' with Evil...basically, if I want to play a Paladin, do I have any leeway or is Stick Up The Ass a class feature?
The only illumination in the moonless night was from the stars, and the only sounds in the filthy back alley came from the shuffling of feet, the occasional muffled swear, and the steady clicking of lockpicks. Joey Three-Thumbs was getting antsy - the new kid wasn't a bad sort, but he was awfully slow. And on a night like this, being slow could get them all caught or killed. It was going to be the biggest score in months, and Joey was glad all his rivals had caught mysterious illnesses and been unavailable to lead the mission tonight - thoughtful of them to save him some work. Iron Krunk and Dancing Daggers Dave - the guild's two most dangerous enforcers - stood guard while the newbie...Evan? Varian? Something with a V...methodically worked away one lock at a time from the mayor's back door. This was his test, his initiation heist, which was why the guildmaster had sent Krunk and Dave for 'extra security' in case he turned out to be a flake or coward. But the Hextorites wanted the mayor dead, and they'd paid extra to have it look like a robbery gone wrong, which mean finder's keepers on anything left in the house. Naturally, Joey would be getting the lion's share of the pot, but if Ethan hurried up, he might get a few coins...finally.The door creaked open, and Joey pushed ahead of Veren, Dave close on his heels. The mayor kept one overnight guard on duty, so the first order of business would be taking him out, before they went upstairs to the bedrooms. A soft thump came from behind, probably Krunk taking his frustrations out on the wall, but Joey had eyes only for the door ahead of him, and the poisoned blade in his fist. It opened silently, and he tiptoed towards the outlined figure of the guardsman sitting by the fire with his back turned...too easy...Sudden light from all around blinded him for a moment - he spun, and there were half a dozen City Guard with weapons drawn lined against the walls. He saw Dave go down under a pile of three more...they'd been made somehow, set up! Probably betrayed by the churchmen, but Joey had eyes only for the exit where Krunk could cover his escape. He dodged the guards' swords, leaped over the flailing pile of bodies and limbs that was Dave and his captors, only to skid to a stop as the doorway filled not with Krunk, but the body and bared steel of the 'trainee thief'. "Joey Three-Thumbs, you are under arrest for tresspassing, attempted theft, and intent to commit murder. Surrender, and the Shining One's justice may smile on you."His answer was a feral snarl at the betrayal, rushing forward with his blade ready. Valen Ironheart, Paladin of the Shining Order and deputized agent of the city guard, grinned cheerfully and brought his own sword up to meet the assassin. This bust had been too easy, he'd have to make a few more mistakes next time or else there'd be no challenge at all.
Okay, here we go:Rogue/Paladin. 100% legal. 110% awesome.
Creative.Rogue / Paladin approved.
Sweet.On that note, though, would you let me burn a feat slot for Devoted Inquisitor (feat from Complete Adventurer) while keeping everything else core-only? It adds a Save vs. Daze if I use Sneak Attack and Smite Evil on the same attack, but its main function is allowing me to multiclass freely between Rogue and Paladin. Without it, I'll have to stop taking Paladin levels once I take another Rogue level.
Neutral evil barbarian/sorceror
Neutral evil
I'm very much looking forward to making Valen's life difficult.
It's more than if we're partied, I'm obligated to either convert you to Good, or if you won't convert, kill you. 'Making life difficult' is sadly a binary choice when the other option is losing all your class features, and that bio snipped doesn't have much hope for the 'convert' option. :/
Working against a Paladin doesn't make you per se evil, no matter what Paladins may think.Just to take an example from my proposed character - imagine there's some evil book about evilly summoning evil things to do evil. This book is evil, you with me?A paladin - not necessarily Glyphstones - might think this thing should be burnt. I might think it should be sequestered in a library. I might even have been sent to make sure the paladin doesn't destory it (because its evil, sorry - forgot to mention that). But my actions aren't evil and his Detect Evil will register nothing.
Unknowingly associating with evil is fine, but willing and knowing tolerance is a violation. "
The paladin's focus on good has always bugged me, actually. There's two aspects to his alignment. Why can't he Detect Chaos at will? Why is he allowed to perform chaotic actions? Associate with chaotics?*shrug* Just annoys me.
Neutral evil barbarian/sorceror (in a roughly 80/20 split to start, will gradually evolve towards more of a 60/40 or 50/50 split as she levels). I checked with Shadow to make sure that the sorceror aspect was okay, because obviously wizard wouldn't make much sense. She's a dark elf (half elf, half drow, I kind of made it up), but in terms of rules she'll just be considered as a regular elf to keep it all within the core rule set like Shadow asked.Sae'Ka's cruelly serrated dagger didn't slice so much as it tore, and so it tore through the soft flesh of Wolfmarrow's throat as she held him from behind, his strength already having been sapped by the three stab wounds in his back, one of them right between his shoulder blades. The old warlord's lifeblood cascaded down over his chest, staining his white furs and marking the end of yet another roaming warband, though two more would surely spring up on the morrow to take its place. It was just as well, too, since Sae'Ka's band of misfits, monsters and rejects of society thrived on carnage and plunder. Unceremoniously, she discarded the old man's carcass and removed her helmet, throwing that to the ground as well so that she could breathe more freely. The air was thick with the scents of death and gore and smoke, a couple of her raiders having already began setting fire to whatever wasn't worth taking while the rest rounded up the few survivors. Sae'Ka would keep them for herself and her men to have fun with - which some had already started doing - until they reached a city where she could sell them off at the slave markets. Sometimes she even found a potential recruit or two amongst them, usually those who were already prisoners or slaves before her arrival, but there didn't seem to be anyone like that in this sorry lot.Every muscle in her body seemed to pulse and ache gratifyingly like they always did after a won battle. That fleeting, ambrosial feeling was like the most potent of drugs to her, and it was worth more than any amount of gold or weapons or slaves. The only trouble was that you couldn't hold on to it, it had to be payed for in blood; but then again, that was the fun part, wasn't it? "A few 'o da boys got some scrapes 'n bruises, 'oh 'n we lost Thorny. Spear through the gut, had to put the poor sod outta his misery meself. Kept his boots 'n buckler, he won't be needin' em no more." Rhorkiff announced with a wide grin that showed off his several missing teeth, looking quite satisfied while he waved the dented metal buckler around as if he was getting used to its weight on his arm or something. If the death of his companion had affected him in the slightest, then he showed no signs of it, but Sae'Ka knew that - much like herself - Rhor couldn't have cared any less. They were all in it for themselves, and death was as common to them as the setting of the sun.Sae'Ka pushed her matted silver hair out of her face and breathed in deeply for a few more seconds before replying, seemingly savoring the moment for just a little bit longer before getting back to reality."Good. Leave the dead to the wolves and vultures. And tell the boys to make it quick if they plan on sticking it to any of those bitches, I don't want to linger here long."
I'm assuming from the mention of Waterdeep that it at least starts in the FR? If not, some of the fluff here won't work.NG hf Cleric 1 (Deneir)/Rogue 1 (future advancement will all be as cleric)Ianna sat cross legged on the floor of the room, trying to blank out the cold flagstones. The scroll was written in a heavily idiomatic Elven but she judged the writer to be Thayatan originally, based on some of his word choices and sentence structure. The poem itself wasn't outstanding but for the moment she was glossing over the contents of the scroll and focusing on the writing itself. She held it closer to the lantern for a moment to decipher a character."He misforms some of his glyphs. And he doesn't use terminal characters consistently." She eventually announced, trying hard to make it a confident statement rather than a tentative question. "Thayatan minor nobleman, taught Elven by a non-native speaker. The poem's written in Elven because he's decided that it is a more romantic language and will impress this..." she glanced at the scroll again, looking for the name "...this Trisa.""Very good" her superior nodded "The ink itself was perfumed at one time though that has faded. However, I wouldn't expect you to notice that. For future reference, look how it has peeled from the scroll rather than flaked - that's an artifact of the scent adding, it makes the ink more viscous. But, as I say, very good.Good enough, in fact, that I think we can allow yuo out into the world without worrying about you embarassing us." This last was added with a wry smile, he knew how much it would mean to her.And mean something to her it did. As a street waif she'd been found in the priest's room when he woke up. She'd broken in to steal some of the books he was carrying but morning had found her sat entranced by the beautiful calligraphy and tracing unfamiliar alphabets with her finger. They'd phrased it as a punishment, her having to work for the temple for a while. But they had known from the start and she had realised soon after that the Temple of Deneir was where she belonged.And now she was a fully fledged priestess of Deneir and was allowed out in the world. Both to work on His behalf out there and to find interesting examples of the calligrapher's and writer's art and - and this had been repeatedly stressed - to bring them back if they could be legally acquired.She was looking forwards to it immensely.

Alabama Black Belt Adventures is offering hunters a chance to take home more than a trophy.
MONTGOMERY | Alabama Black Belt Adventures is offering hunters a chance to take home more than a trophy.
The organization, a public-private partnership that promotes outdoor recreation and tourism in Alabama's Black Belt, is sponsoring a "big buck" photo contest for deer harvested in the 23-county Black Belt region.
Winners will be selected in three categories — youth (up to 12 years old), free chase (public or private lands) and high fence. Each photo will be posted on Facebook, and in each category the two that receive the most "likes" will be chosen as finalists. Alabama sports reporters will then pick the winners. The winner in each category will receive a $100 gift card to Bass Pro Shops.
Photos should be sent to email@example.com. Submissions should include the name of the county, the contest category and a short paragraph on the hunting experience.
As hunters take to the woods in search of big bucks, Alabama's Black Belt will reap major economic dividends. A report commissioned by Alabama Black Belt Adventures and released earlier this year found that the region takes in about $972 million in direct and indirect economic benefits a year from hunting and fishing.
With most of the state's trophy bucks coming from the Black Belt, the region attracts hunters who also spend money on lodging, food and other goods — economic activity that in 2011 supported 11,000 new jobs, according to the Southeast Research Group of Montgomery.
"Black Belt counties make up about a third of Alabama, but they account for more than half of the total hunting and fishing dollars spent in the state," said Pam Swanner, project director at Alabama Black Belt Adventures. "For us, deer season is a classic win-win — good for hunters, good for the Black Belt. We encourage people to spend time and money in Alabama's prime hunting grounds."

It is pretty sweet but what is with all the TIE's? Just for s**ts and giggles?
It's funny to me how folks always focus on the Tie Fighters in my collection and yet there's just as many X-Wing Fighters that never get mentioned. No love for the Rebels, huh?
Anyhow to answer your question...
The reason for the number of Tie Fighters is simple:
Some folks are army-builders of "trooper" action figures. (I am)
Some folks are collectors of package variants (I am not)
Some folks keep the packaging for most of their toys (I do)
Some folks like to display their stuff loose (I do not)
The point is, collecting comes in all different kinds of styles and mindsets.
Suffice it to say that despite my age (40), I still collect STAR WARS toys like an 11 year old kid hoping to one day re-enact the movies in his bedroom.
I just really took "We count 30 Rebel ships, Lord Vader!" literally!
Besides... having ONLY ONE Tie Fighter or X-Wing or Snowspeeder in my collection just seemed... wrong to me. Some ships need to be in squadrons, bay-bay!!!
The UP-SIDE is that certain STAR WARS vehicles (Luke's Landspeeder, Sandcrawler, Millennium Falcon, Darth Vader's Tie Fighter, Slave I, etc.) DO NOT appear in the films as squadrons or in large numbers. So I was quite content to simply buy ONE of each of those vehicles for my collection.
The same holds true for armies. Yes, there are 500 Imperial Stromtrooper action figures in my collection (it's insane but true).
But there is also only ONE Chewbacca figure in my collection. There is only ONE Darth Vader. There's only ONE Han Solo, ONE Luke Skywalker, ONE Princess Leia (in each of their various OT outfits). And of course, there are only ONE C-3P0 and R2-D2 in my collection.

Well folks, I've finally done it. A curry that I can't say, "I could have done it better."
This non-descript, brown curry, is the best thing I've ever made, ever!
Fred's base, Shah's mix and a few years of all the members help on here has led to this.
No set recipe, just cooking as I normally do, flying by the seat of my pants and I found it !!!
The extra oil, came from the paste.
Spiced oil, Fred's base, a heaped tsp of mix, blanched onions, bunjarra added at the very end..
(There was a bit more than that going on, but you know what I mean.)
What with Andy Murray winning today, then this.... Very happy right now.
This site, is without doubt the absolute BEST place to be if you want to learn curry. FACT.

NEWS- Unquashed: Judge upholds subpoena of <i>Hook</i> reporter
New York Times reporter Judith Miller spent 12 weeks in jail for refusing to testify about a confidential source when she was subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury. Will Charlottesville's Courteney Stuart soon find herself behind bars?
As the Hook reported last week, the Charlottesville Commonwealth's Attorney's office has subpoenaed Stuart to testify about a public drunkenness case on which she reported. However, there were no confidential sources or weapons of mass destruction. But a judge's refusal to quash the subpoena has turned a misdemeanor case into a First Amendment challenge.
Stuart appeared in Charlottesville General District court November 19 before Judge William Barkley with a motion to dismiss her subpoena to testify about a case she'd reported on in an October 11 issue of the Hook.
"I cover crime," Stuart told the judge. "This is drunk in public– a minor crime. This week I'm also covering a capital murder. Am I to be called to testify in every crime I cover?"
Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Claude Worrell argued that Stuart should be on hand as a "rebuttal" witness, to "reply to any discrepancies" in the testimony of witnesses in the case.
"We're not asking her to disclose any confidential sources," said Worrell, sidestepping the issue of privilege reporters routinely invoke.
"This interferes with my ability to do my job and violates my First Amendment rights," Stuart told Barkley.
To no avail. He denied Stuart's motion, saying it's premature to quash her subpoena 10 days before the November 29 trial, but he said Stuart could raise the issue again.
The charges stem from the September 28 arrest of Richard Silva and his fiancée, Blair Austin, who were charged with public swearing and intoxication after they shouted at a police officer whom they contend nearly ran over them in a crosswalk. In addition, Austin was charged with obstruction of justice, also a misdemeanor.
The couple– and their friends who witnessed their encounter with Charlottesville Police Officer Mike Flaherty– allege that Flaherty so violently knocked Austin to the ground that the friends called 911 to report him.
Stuart, whose story quoted multiple witnesses blasting the behavior of of Officer Flaherty, was not a witness to the events.
"I believe the police should be doing their own investigation," says Rutherford Institute founder John Whitehead, whose civil liberties organization has offered to represent Stuart. Virginia, he says, recognizes only two exceptions to First Amendment protections of the press: if the state needs a reporter's testimony to solve a crime ("That doesn't seem to be true here as there are other witnesses," says Whitehead) or if the defendant needs it to prove his innocence.
As for calling a reporter to testify in a misdemeanor case, "I don't agree with it," says Whitehead. "You just don't mess with the press. You don't want reporters to feel intimidated, philosophically. And Constitutionally it's a problem."
"I think it's frightening," says Stuart. "If the Commonwealth wants to use journalists to trap people on the stand, it's an outrage."
"What I find startling is that taxpayer money is being used in the Commonwealth's Attorney's office for such a low-level case," says Hook editor Hawes Spencer. "It certainly gives the appearance of desperation."

ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 21 (UPI) -- Casey Anthony, who was acquitted in Florida of killing her daughter and admitted check fraud, will not make her post-probation plans public, her lawyer says.
Charles Greene suggested to ABC News the end of court supervision Friday does not mean Anthony can return to an ordinary life.
"People ranging from the media to people with lawsuits against her to people with just a fantastic obsession with her search for her on a daily basis," Greene said. "People have a fascination with her life that, for some people, borders on psychotic."
Anthony, 26, was charged with killing Caylee Anthony, 2, and dumping the body near her parents' home in Orlando, where the little girl's skeletal remains were found months later. During her trial last year, she suggested Caylee drowned accidentally and her father insisted on hiding the body.
She spent months in jail awaiting trial. Anthony was sentenced to one year on probation for stealing checks from a friend.
Anthony, who is unemployed, has been living somewhere in Florida and, for the most part, has kept away from the public and news media. She still faces a lawsuit brought by Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez. When Caylee's disappearance was first reported, Anthony told police she had been kidnapped by a babysitter with that name.
Witnesses said during the trial Anthony before her arrest partied hard while her daughter was missing.
Greene said he hopes Anthony someday gives her version of events.
"There's things she wants to say, but they need to be on her time, her terms, her conditions," he said. "I hope that one day she says more."

The ear is a complex structure that consists of three sections: the outer, middle, and inner ears. The outer ear is the part we see. It is the external canal that picks up the vibrations from sound and transmits them through the eardrum to the middle ear. The middle ear contains three small bones that take these vibrations into the inner ear, which contains the nerve endings that make hearing possible. The inner ear is also involved in maintaining balance.
The middle ear is connected to the nasal cavity and the throat by means of a I passageway called the eustachian tube. This allows excess secretions from the middle ear to drain away from the ear and into the nose and throat. If the eustachian tube is not draining properly, these secretions build up in the middle ear, with the result that pressure in the ear rises and the ear becomes painful and, often, infected.
Young children are more likely than others to develop middle ear infections because in infants, the eustachian tube is oriented more horizontally than vertically, making drainage more difficult than it is in older children. Fluids can collect and become blocked, creating an ideal environment for bacterial growth.
Most children outgrow ear infections as their bodies mature and the structure
of the inner ear changes. As a child grows, the eustachian tube begins to curve
downward, allowing fluids to drain more easily. When the eustachian tube develops
its characteristic mature curve, fluids drain readily and infections are less
of a problem. When fully mature, the eustachian tube has a pronounced downward angle (see illustrations below)
Figure A: Infant
Figure B: Older Child
Structure of the Ear: In infants, the eustachian tube extends almost horizontally from the middle ear to the nasal cavity and the throat. (figure A) As a child grows, the eustachian tube develops a downward curve. (figure B)
Ear infections are often a complication of a common cold or other upper respiratory infection, such as infection of the adenoids, tonsils, or sinuses. They are sometimes accompanied by coughing, runny nose, sore throat, and, occasionally, vomiting and diarrhea. Depending on the cause of the infection, a fever may be present.
A child who can talk will be quick to tell you, "My ear hurts!" Babies and toddlers will "tell" you by pulling or tugging on their ears, by rubbing or hitting their ears, or by fussing and crying. A young infant may simply be irritable or run a high fever for no apparent reason.
Another common symptom of ear infection, which your child may not have the words to express, is a feeling of fullness and pressure. This is caused by the excess fluid pushing against the eardrum. Your child may have a slight hearing loss in the affected ear. In most cases, this is temporary. However, if ear infection and hearing loss occur repeatedly, they can cause long-term problems. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, recurring ear infections with hearing impairment may slow speech and learning development, even if there is no permanent hearing loss.

Corot painted four large panels, representing 'Morning', 'Noon', 'Evening' and 'Night', to decorate the studio at Fontainebleau of his friend and fellow painter Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps. They are the largest decorative cycle by the artist to survive intact, and a bravura demonstration of his skill in improvising landscape compositions that are subtly interrelated in both colour and form. To Decamps's astonishment, Corot completed the cycle in a single week. The paintings were later owned by the British painter, Frederic Leighton of Stretton.

Diemetradon Hatchling
Idles about.
Pit-pattering footsteps; vocalizations (on-click)
Can be found around Golakka Hot Springs, near Elder Diemetradons.
Im not sure what the obsession with commenting on how you got a rare, but wouldnt strategy and a pets usefulness be of more benefit.
As advised I killed off all diemetradon's with no hatchlings and got a few to spawn after a pass or two. First was poor and second was rare! I count myself lucky as there were 2 others looking for then when I went. I have to admit I was hoping it would be a bit bigger but it's still really nice. You don't see many being used in battles and to me that's a plus. :)
Got the 341 strength one to try out surprising opponents with Quick Attack. Claw is really powerful but being slow you would do well to slow your opponent with Screech. It looks cooler than it is powerful, but you can often surprise your opponent when using non popular pets and you will rarely face this one in PvP. Don't be afraid to try it out!
Just got my rare! After hours of looking I checked the comments here. The strategy that ultimatly worked was.
When you get there kill any diemetradon that donesnt have a hatchling. If one loads with a hatchling grab the hatchling and mark the diemtradon with a raid symbol leave it alone it will pop a new hatchling shortly keep flying around and finding more Diematrdons without hatchlings.
This strategy got me a rare in 20 minutes, only ended up finding 3.
i had the same questons earlier. It means power/power amd power/balanced.
Got it around my tenth spawn. Got a rare tree python and parrot in the process. There were plenty around and kept respawning.
What does p/b or p/p mean?
Like everyone said mark the Elder Diemetradons with babies and kill all the others. I had no mothers at first then one showed up. On second pass I had two then three. On about the 12th pass I suddenly had about 9 mothers spawn. Took about an hour and a quarter to get my rare (P/B) although I may go back to see if I can get a P/P breed. Also got a rare spotted bell frog as a second.
Got an uncommon a while back and I came back today to try for a rare. Took about 20-25 mins of farming and I finally got a P/P rare at 38, 50. I saw many "mothers" and only killed or battled the babies. I only killed one "mother" due to aggro and all the hatchlings kept spawning after I defeated or killed them.
The same "mother" spawned a new hatchling about 5-10 mins after I got my rare.
Just got my rare after about 1 hour farming. When I got to Terron Run there were two "mothers" with hatchlings, both were poor quality... I marked the mothers with a raid icon and killed all the others that did not have hatchlings, that made new creatures respawn... at the end I had four mothers. This approach works to get Infested Bear Cub as well.
I managed to catch a common one on my fifth try, I think they look really cool and prehistoric; however I'm not going to even try to get another one that's an uncommon or a rare after three and a half weeks without seeing anything save two poor quality Diemtradon Hatchings I just gave up. I'm just going to wait for a pet stone to raise the quality. The drop rates better!
Just got mine 10 min ago. Killed Elders on my way to the camp site at 38.57,65.74 (was expecting to camp there for a while) but he was standing there waiting on me when I got there. Not a rare but uncommon is good enough. :)
Omg..I just got a second one at the edge of Golakka Hot Springs. Wasn't even 15 min between them. It a common.
Finally! After many trips to Terror Run, got him at 620 pm Zangarmarsh time or 920 EDT at 27 58.5 aver the border in Golakka Hot Springs. He is a P/B, out of possible P/B, P/P or B/B and I am over the moon :) Thanks for posts, so I knew to kill all but the mom to make him spawn!
Caught him first try! was stoked by this. Found him in Terror run around the base of the trees.
I have tried the 'mother' method and it works. DO NOT KILL the ones with hatchlings, they will in fact keep spawning them. Mark them and kill off the non producers ; )
Spitting on people who kill the mothers only confuses them
I killed off battlepets and critters while waiting for Hatchlings to spawn. Stopped killing Elders to see what would happen and got five Elders that spawned babies.
39, 66 by abandoned camp; 40, 65 and 40, 68 east of camp; 29, 73 SW wall of zone; and 35, 62 Galakka Hot Springs. Got my rare quickly after that since wasn't waiting for Elders to respawn, just did the rounds.
Lucked out and found a rare on the first attempt just west of Terror Run. Second two pets added to the battle were just common Ash Lizard and Long Tailed Mole.
Ironic that the pet journal states that the hatchlings are abandoned at birth, and yet they spawn with the older dimetradon mobs... Sense you no haz, blizz.
If you've got lots of players questing with diemetradons, camp on the round, flat rock at 31,68 just west of the broken campsite. There are 4 elders nearby that can be culled to each provide hatchlings, so rather than running all over the place you can confine your camping to one location and have fresh hatchlings every 5-10 minutes.
Barkoren's method is the best! I used this on all the elder's I saw south of Golakka Hot Springs, and into Terror Run. Three minutes later, I went back to where I started, and there was the little guy just waiting for me. Common.

So I am finally living in my new place, and totally loving it.
I had a subletter for the summer, so all the communal areas are already moved in to and full of stuff, and everything is pretty disorganized. As my first real, grown-up (not college) house, I really want it to feel like a home, not a hodge-podge of stuff, so I am trying to decide what I want to do to help get everything organized.
The kitchen has almost zero storage space, so the first thing we are going to need is a cabinet with doors for dry food storage. I think I am going to buy some cute glass spice jars from Target, which are more sustainable than the plastic ones (because now I can buy bulk spices) and much cuter. I am also going to get some magnetized hooks to hang oven mitts off of to free up some drawer space. And I am going to figure out a way to organize all the pots and pans so that they aren't all thrown in together, stacked up on top of each other, so that to get one thing out you have to move everything else.
For the bathroom I want to get a glass soap dispenser, that will be more sustainable, and cuter than the grimy plastic one we have now. I also want to get a cute toothbrush holder, but that isn't something we need, just something I want :P
The living room needs some pillows to help tie the mismatched furniture together, and we also need one more small chair of some sort to complete the room.
In the dining room I want to buy some bar stools to go along the island that it shares with the kitchen, so that whoever is cooking can have company :)
And then up the stairway and down the hallway I want to make fake picture frames out of poster paper and poster board, and put up a bunch of photos.
That is my plan for this house. I am excited to get started transforming it, as soon as our subletter officially moves out :D

A meme that I read frequently, especially in developer forums on JVM languages, is how much more productive developers are once they move on from Java, due to no longer having to deal with the language's verbosity. I've seen this precise claim made in forums for Groovy and Scala, and would surely find it in forums for all the other JVM languages that claim to improve on Java. I've never bought the argument. To me, it's the kind of specious claim that concision translates into productivity. Concision and the underlying technology that makes it possible often implies other trade-offs that have costs not the least of which is readability. Another contributor, dynamic typing, can allow runtime errors to occur that would be caught with static typing. I could go on the bottom line is that there are lots of factors that determine the productivity of a given language, and verbosity is just one of them. I'm not even sure it's one of the major ones.
The problem is that measuring productivity is invariably viewed as more of an art than scientific work. It has a kind of fuzzy aspect to it that defies accurate measurement. Or so one would think. But my co-author on this editorial, Peter Hill, leads a group of researchers in software engineering who do in fact have hard data on the topic. The key unit of measure is a function point, which is a measurable amount of functionality that can be determined during the requirements phase of a program. It measures many components such as the number of logical files, interface files, external inputs, external outputs, and external queries. It is an approach has provided consistent sizing of software projects for more than 35 years. Essentially, it measures the gross amount of functionality based on measurable artifacts. Once a project's size in function points is determined, then you can measure many other aspects and compare them with other projects known to be of roughly the same size.
Peter's group, ISBSG, a non-profit software research group, has gathered data on 6,000 projects, using functional size as the key sizing measure. From this data, they can see how many hours it took to take each project to completion and how those hours mapped to languages, on projects that were primarily written in one language. Table 1 shows what his research turned up.
Table 1: Development hours per function point of software, ranked by principal programming language.
|Hours Per Function Point
|Visual Basic
*refers to classic ASP. Included for comparison purposes.
(Courtesy of ISBSG.)
The numbers are remarkably noncontroversial. They seem to suggest that higher-level languages are generally more productive than lower-level languages. However, in contradiction to this trend, languages designed primarily for business purposes COBOL and ABAP actually reduce productivity when compared with general-purpose programming languages. Hill is quick to point out that language is not the only factor affecting these numbers. The kinds of projects (you would not expect much cross-over between projects in C and ASP), the size and nature of the teams, and many other factors all contribute.
Nonetheless, while I would expect C to be less productive than C++ and both languages to be less productive than Java, I am surprised by the comparatively low showing of C#. I would have estimated it to be closer to Java in terms of productivity, especially since I think it would be used in similar kinds of projects. Its placement below VB, though, seems predictable.
Hill is a cautious fellow, and he won't provide stats on languages until he has a large base of projects to draw from. So, I suspect it will be quite a while before we know how much lift scripting languages or the Java alternatives actually provide. In the meantime, though, if you can estimate the number of function points in your upcoming projects correctly, this table can help you forecast an accurate timeline for project completion.

Bill and Mary Andra are pleased to announce the marriage of their daughter Colleen Mary to Wilburn Norwood Jonas, son of Joseph and Lillian Jonas. They were married in Elko, Nevada on 27 September 1946.
Colleen is a 1946 graduate of Preston High School. She is currently pursuing a degree at Brigham Young University.
Norwood attended North Cache High School. He is currently employed at Pet Milk in Richmond.
The couple will make their home in Richmond.
While short and sweet, I think that is what their announcement may have been like. What else is in there between the lines? Norwood and Colleen met at the Persiana in Preston, Idaho. A dance hall on the second floor of the building. William and Mary Andra were not entirely pleased with Colleen's selection of a spouse. The poor boy from Richmond who smoked and drank was not an appropriate mate for their daughter. Not only that, she loved him so much that her parents did not see this as a good influence on her even while they dated for a couple of years before. While not entirely supportive, they allowed their daughter to make her own choices after having a number of clear, frank conversations with her. If this is what she wanted, then she could do as she pleased. But she was well aware that much heartache and pain could be in her future, at least as her parents predicted.
With so little support from her parents, many of her siblings liked "Nor" for the most part. He worked hard and provided for his family and that is most important.
Joseph Jonas had died 14 years earlier and would not be around for this occasion. In fact, Norwood saw his father electrocuted before him on that fateful day in Ogden, Utah in 1932. Norwood often took his father his lunch at that time because they lived in railroad housing not far from the switchyard where he worked. Nor walked up the tracks and his father saw him coming. He stepped down from the locomotive they were working on to the track and started walking toward Norwood. A Mr. Child who had been warned earlier to move the line had not done so and Joseph hit his head. Norwood saw his father thrown back to the ground. Mr. Child made the mistake that killed Joseph that day and every time he saw the family he always apologized for the death. If that wasn't a burden to live with for Mr. Child, it was for Norwood. His brother, Ellis, indicated that was the day the lights went out in Norwood. Nor's mother, Lillian, also indicated Norwood was never the same after that day.
The family lost their housing with the railroad and moved back to Richmond, Utah. There the family had to live in two train cars placed side by side for years to come. Finally the family could afford to move into a little home of a few hundred square feet, but that was after most, if not all, the children were gone. Lillian (nee Coley) was a humble, faithful widow who did what she could for her children. Much relied upon the good people of the ward in which she lived, but the boys had their crazy days without a father. The Jonas brothers were known to be a rough, mean bunch. The meanness only exacerbated by alcohol.
Colleen had graduated Preston High School and followed her parents suggestion by enrolling at Brigham Young University. I think the parents probably hoped some good boys would come along. However, Norwood and Colleen could not bear to be that far apart and Norwood came down to pick her up at school after only a few days or weeks there. They drove back north and would eventually take Lillian and run to Elko to "elope".
Norwood attended North Cache High School but never graduated. Only one of his siblings would graduate from high school (Ellis). Norwood was bright and able to keep up with school. So much, he attended with classes with his older brother, Irwin, who was two and a half years his senior. Norwood even shows in Irwin's class pictures. But the life of the widow was hard and the boys found employment as soon as they can to help with the family expenses.
The two would be happily married for years to come. The first child would not come for 6 years after the marriage. Norwood and Colleen enjoyed the social environment and party of friends, often hosting Bridge and other card games at their home. Children would arrive in 1952 (Douglas Norwood), 1954 (Sandra, written about at this link: Baby Sandra Jonas), and 1960 (Jackie).
I really don't know much for sure of this period. Other than they seem to have lived the usual family life. Alcohol would eventually come to cause the majority of problems within the home and which would eventually take Norwood's life in 1975.
Colleen's journals from 1944-1946 can be found here. Colleen's Journal 1944-1946. I also wrote about the journal at this link: Colleen Andra's Journal. While short in its entries, it tells more than anything I could have ever found out otherwise. Everyone, keep a journal, even if only one sentence a day. That one sentence tells scores of information decades later. I treasure every word. I wish she had such a journal extending through every year.
