Are you owed money that you would like to collect?
If so, you can take legal action to recover it with Hinde Ginges Boyd Lawyers.
We can assist you with:
- Preparing a Statement of Claim – used to demand either payment or defence of the matter within 28 days (after the Statement of Claim is served); and with
- Entering Judgment against the debtor (when no action is taken within 28 days).
Once Judgment is entered, a number of procedures are available to enforce it. We can assist you with Writs (seizure of goods to sell in order to repay the debt), Examination Summons (requiring the debtor to attend Court to display how they will satisfy the Judgment), and Garnishees Orders (whereby the Court can order a third party to pay money to a creditor instead of a debtor), and Bankruptcy.
If an individual is declared bankrupt by the Court, a Trustee is appointed to take control of the bankrupt person's estate in order to turn the assets into cash and to distribute the proceeds of the estate to the various creditors in order of priority laid down in the Bankruptcy Act.
Bankruptcy proceedings are generally commenced in the Federal Circuit Court . We can assist you by attending to the preparation and service of a Bankruptcy Notice and in the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings should the Bankruptcy Notice not be complied with.
When a company is declared insolvent the Court has the power to 'wind it up' and appoint a Liquidator, whose responsibility is to turn the assets into cash and distribute it in the order set out in the Corporations Act.
Winding up proceedings are commenced in either the Supreme Court or the Federal Court. We can assist you by attending to the preparation and service of a Statutory Demand and by filing an Originating Process should the Statutory Demand not be complied with. If the Court is satisfied that the company is insolvent, it can then appoint a liquidator.

Jean Augustine became the first Black woman elected to the Parliament of Canada. An energetic advocate of social justice, she worked as the principal of an elementary school before entering federal politics. Among her accomplishments as an MP was the introduction of a motion, passed unanimously, to have February proclaimed as Black History Month in Canada.
Jean Augustine was born September 9th, 1937, in Happy Hill, Grenada, the daughter of Olive and Ossie Simon, a sugar cane plantation worker. The family was shaken when Ossie died of tetanus; Jean was a toddler and Olive was pregnant with her second child. The family moved in with an older woman called "Granny," where the Augustine children were encouraged to succeed in school. During her high-school years, she founded an all-girl band and also hosted her own youth program on a local radio station before graduating a year early.
An A student, Augustine expressed interests in music, radio broadcasting and teaching. She became a teacher, but the pay was low. After learning about opportunities in Canada, Augustine applied for a nanny position through the West Indian Domestic Scheme. The program, which operated from 1955 to 1966, enlisted women aged 18 to 35 with a minimum eighth grade education to fill the growing need for nannies in Canada. In exchange for working in family homes for one year, the young women were given landed immigrant status (see Citizenship). Augustine arrived in Canada in 1960 and worked for one year in the Forest Hill neighbourhood of Toronto.
Augustine was fortunate, however, for she had been placed with a Toronto pediatrician's family who were of a generous spirit, and they recognized that the new caretaker for their children was overly qualified for the job. They helped her find an office job at a medical-billing firm, and she took night-school classes at the Toronto Teacher's College and babysat for the family in her spare time. After earning her teaching degree, Augustine taught elementary school in the Toronto public school system. She eventually became one of the first black school principals in the country.
Augustine had long been active in black political and social organizations in Toronto, which began to emerge as a richly multinational and multicultural hub during the 1960s. The very first meeting of the Grenada Association was held in her apartment, and she also served on a committee that helped to organize the city's first Caribana Festival in 1967, which later became one of Toronto's most important annual tourist events.
Augustine's community service work led her into politics. She served on municipal task forces on drug abuse and crime, and became active in the Liberal Party, one of Canada's two main political parties. In 1985 she was named to the transition team for new Ontario premier David Peterson. As thanks for her service, Peterson made her chair of the Metro Toronto Housing Authority, the largest landowner in Canada. Augustine served in that post for six years, and came to the attention of the national Liberal Party leadership as a result.
Jean Augustine was nominated as Liberal candidate for the Etobicoke–Lakeshore district in Ontario on 25 October 1993. An enthusiastic, intelligent and charismatic woman, Augustine won the seat and became the first Black woman elected to the House of Commons. Of approximately 65,000 voters registered in the district, only 700 were Black. Augustine was re-elected in 1997, 2000, 2002 and 2004.
As a new Member of Parliament, Augustine tackled issues that were important to her riding, to women and to Canadians. Appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister of Canada (1993–96), she was Prime Minister Jean Chrétien's trusted voice on committees, at international meetings and in Parliament when he was absent from the House of Commons.
In the mid-1990s, Jean Augustine played a crucial role in establishing Black History Month in Canada. Though individual communities had held celebrations as far back as the 1950s — e.g., in Halifax and Toronto — none existed federally. However, in 1979, the Ontario Black History Society made significant headway when it convinced the City of Toronto to formally declare February as Black History Month. In 1993, the Society successfully petitioned the Ontario government to declare a province-wide celebration. Motivated by this victory, they approached Augustine about extending Black History Month across the nation. Augustine enthusiastically supported the idea. As she mentioned to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights:
I was an educator. […] I recognized that the classroom curriculum was saying very little about African Canadians. The same thing was done to Indigenous peoples — if there was any reference, it was either in the footnote or as a sideline. Black Canadians were not part of the script and were not shown contributing to Canadian society.
With that in mind, Augustine put a motion before Parliament to recognize February as Black History Month, asking, "That this House take note of the important contribution of Black Canadians to the settlement, growth and development of Canada, the diversity of the Black community in Canada and its importance to the history of this country." The motion passed unanimously in December 1995, and February was proclaimed Black History Month in Canada.
As a Member of Parliament, Jean Augustine served as Chair of the National Liberal Women's Caucus for three terms. She was also elected chair of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade in February 2002.
Augustine was appointed Secretary of State (Multiculturalism) (Status of Women) on 26 May 2002, making her the first Black woman to achieve a post in Cabinet. The same year, she was selected to be a member of the Queen's Privy Council of Canada. On 12 December 2003, she was appointed Minister of State (Multiculturalism and Status of Women).
After her appointment, Augustine told The Globe & Mail, "It says to others and ourselves that Blacks can be in every place in our society. It's important that no one be able to say that Blacks can't perform in every segment of Canadian society because we can."
In 2004, Augustine was elected Assistant Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons.
A member of the Citizenship and Immigration Committee over several terms, Augustine sat on international boards and associations related to women's rights, human rights, HIV/AIDS, economic development and industry, and immigrant rights, as well as racism and discrimination.
After retiring from politics in November 2005, Jean Augustine continued her career in advocacy. In March 2007, the Ontario government appointed her the province's first Fairness Commissioner. The Office of the Fairness Commissioner (OFC) ensures that qualified foreign-trained professionals (e.g., in medicine, teaching) can get the required licences to practise in the province.
During Augustine's tenure, the OFC influenced hundreds of improvements made to licencing procedures in Ontario — improvements that made the process easier to navigate, more transparent and impartial. After eight years at the helm of OFC, Augustine retired in March 2015.

In 1987, Jean Augustine received the first Kay Livingstone Award from the Congress of Black Women of Canada. In 1994, Pride magazine awarded her with the Canadian Black Achievement Award. In 2002, she was sworn into the Queen's Privy Council, and in 2007 Grenada's University of the West Indies praised Augustine with their Caribbean Luminary Award.
Augustine was inducted as Member of the Order of Canada in 2007, "For her distinguished career as an educator, politician and advocate for social justice in Canada." Augustine was granted the prestigious appointment of Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2014, and in 2016 a Brampton, Ontario, high school was named in her honour. Augustine was granted an honorary doctor of laws by the University of Toronto, and has received honorary degrees from the University of Guelph, McGill University and York University.
Augustine is divorced and has two grown children. Back in Grenada, she is a well-known figure and object of national pride. After her impressive first House of Commons win, Grenadians presented her with a plaque that read simply, "From Happy Hill to Parliament Hill." She remains grateful to Granny, who died in 1967, and to her other family members and friends who have also passed away. "I know they would have been so proud to know that I've come to this country," she told Foster in Chatelaine, "and I've reached the highest place in the land."

I confess! In the interest of saving money, I've been shopping at Lucky's and other stores promising good quality organic boneless chicken at lower prices than Fresh Market. This Little Big Meal offer called out to me, so I decided to splurge. Guess what? There really is a difference in the taste and texture. I will start shopping the Tuesday sale again religiously in the interest of better tasting chicken! This meal was super easy. The website said to fry the chicken up in a skillet with a little oil. Besides the fact that the thought of standing over a hot stove frying chicken didn't appeal to me, it also sounded a bit greasy. I opted for a baked method and the results were amazing. I am on board every time they run this Little Big Meal deal.
1 Little Big Meal – which includes:
4 large butterflied chicken breasts with light breading
1 jar sauce (the LBM deal was for a brand called Lucini, but they were out – I chose Cucina Artica fresh spinach cooking sauce – very good straight from the jar, but I always taste and doctor it up)
1 pack Fresh Market shredded Mozzarella cheese
My add ins: sherry, butter, and jarred pesto sauce for sauce, bread, butter, oil, and pesto sauce mix for the garlic bread, and shredded 6 Italian cheese for on top.
1 box DeCecco pasta (I chose cavatappi) FYI DeCecco won the blind taste test on America's Test Kitchen as best tasting pasta.
1 package chop salad (again they were out of what it was supposed to be, so I got baby lettuce to make myself lunches for salad this week)
I also made some garlic bread from wonderful sourdough rolls I picked up at their bakery.
- Line baking sheet with foil and brush with oil (I use a grapeseed sunflower blend).
- Place chicken pieces on sheet and drizzle with oil. By the way, the picture is 1/2 of one of the chicken pieces, so it's a lot of chicken.
- Bake at 400 F, setting the timer for 10 minutes to rotate pan and check for even cooking.
- Meanwhile, boil water for pasta and heat sauce in pan. I doctored the sauce with a couple splashes of sherry.
- Chicken will be golden around the edges after about 25-30 minutes total cooking time. Remove from oven and spoon sauce over the pieces, reserving the remaining sauce to mix with the cooked pasta. After adding the pasta to the sauce, I added in 2 Tbsp. butter and 2 Tbsp. pesto.
- Top chicken pieces with shredded cheese. I had a little 6 cheese Italian on hand, so I used that and some of the Mozzarella.
- Return to oven and allow cheese to melt.
- For the garlic bread, I mixed melted butter, oil, and Knorr creamy pesto mix and dipped the pieces of bread in it, and baked them first on the lower rack, and then switching out with the chicken towards the end.
The Little Big Meal sells for $20.00 and is supposed to feed four. We have some leftovers, so the kids are happy! It's a lot of food. I also opted not to make a salad to go with, opting to use it for my lunches instead. I did purchase the rolls to make the garlic bread for an additional $4.00 investment in the meal.
All in all a success and a great reminder of why the Fresh Market chicken is worth spending a little more!

Benefit For Lejla Bekric
Sandmannd posted a topic in Benefits & Memorials-Lost & Found-Stolen ItemsHello Friends,Little Lejla is one of my neighbor girls, she lives down the street from me. While I know many folks in our office aren't ice fisherman, you can make monetary donations by sending to:Village Bank, C/O Pray for Lejla Bekric Benefit3350 Bridge St. NWSt. Francis MN 55010Helping those in need is a big part of my life, but more than that I can't image having a child going through something like this. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I don't know for sure if he did it or not but I lean towards him not doing it. Everything I saw and have read they produced no DNA on her. If he killed her there would have been blood and he's not smart enough to clean it up to the point where they would find nothing. I don't think he should get a pardon but with the way this case was mishandled he sure should get an appeal trial. Brandon for sure needs a new trial. A blind man could see his confession was a lie and he was pushed into it. I have a bigger issue with Brandon's trial. They were horrible with that. His original lawyer should be disbarred for what he did.
Yea, I binge watched it. I work the Public Defenders office as IT. It's pretty disgusting what WI did to this guy. I don't know if he's guilty or not but he sure didn't have a fair trail. His nephew's first defense attorney should be disbarred for what he did. Horrible injustice done throughout this show.
I don't deal with the cost. However, I believe all but the cost of retrieving your vehicle through the ice is covered by emergency response. It's built into your taxes. We are paid by tax dollars. So when we are called it's tax dollars at work. 90% of fire departments in MN are volunteer (paid on call) and most don't make much. We don't do it for the money anyway. There are no cut offs for saving lives. That being said, when you go out and there is an illegal burn (burning something without pulling a permit) you run the risk of being fined. You can be charged per vehicle used and per firefighter on the scene. I'm sure there's other situations where this can play a role but I haven't seen them yet. For instance, if police or continually called out for something that isn't really anything they could possibly charge. I doubt that happens much though. Most agencies are happy to answer a call to help no matter what.
With the "winter" we are having there's just no reason to head out. I don't know what it's been that far north as I haven't been checking the weather up there but I sure wouldn't feel safe on ice. Weather's been in the 50's. Even when it's in the 30's it's not making real good quality ice. As a first responder, I'll go out and rescue people whenever a call comes in. However, I have to ask people to please think before you go out. First, your life is NOT replaceable. Nothing, no fish, is worth risking your life for. Second, I'm sure all of you have family. Think of them. They will be missing a son, daughter, sister, brother, husband, wife, or worse, father or mother. Is it really worth that? Now when you go through and call goes out for help you are risking the lives of the first responders. Yes we train and we have gear to get out and help but that doesn't give us a 100% guarantee we are going to make it. We didn't ask to go on that ice, but we gladly do it because that's the life we chose. So we put our lives on the line because of something you chose to do. So was the possibility of a fish in the pan with risking your one life? What you mean to your family? The lives of those coming out to help you?
Vikings vs PackersVikes O-line was horrid. Kalil is a failure. Patterson needs to be shown the door.
Who woulda thunk the Vikes would have the #1 D in the league? Crazy!!
All they do is win on the road. Last year the won seven on the road total. This year it's been four in a row to open the season! Sure they haven't won at home yet, but they will. They blew a big lead last night but they came back and won. Nice road run so far puppies, keep it up.
Nice to see the tied at first. However, what happens now really depends on Teddy. If he can't come back right away they won't sit there very long. Hill has proven he's not going to be able to hold the team. If Teddy hadn't been taken out of the game it may not have gone to over time. That was a brutal and dirty hit on him. We'll see how he comes back.
Anyone watch the pregame and the tribute to Flip last night. It was a tear jerker for me. He might not have been born here, but he was a Minnesotan for sure. For all accounts he seems like he was a great guy through and through and always down to earth. As a fan I miss him. When he was fired I missed him sitting on the bench and I will forever miss him sitting on the bench. The team played great for a couple quarters and then went south. We'll see how the season goes. I doubt they'll hit the playoffs but should be better than last year.
Patterson should go. Could care less if he gets a 24 yard return when he gets to the 16 yard line. Diggs is awesome. Wallace needs to figure out how to play in this offense. The line needs to do a better job but a win is a win. Best part of a Vikes win is a Pack loss to go with it!!!
Viking Season 2015Walsh is looking like he's got his mojo back. Teddy was off but did do well when it mattered. Diggs looks to be the real deal. AP had a very solid game.

Camp Gladiator
Photo Credit: VisitFrisco.comLast Saturday, I participated in Camp Gladiator at The Ford Center at The Star. Camp Gladiator is a national workout training company and once a year they host a huge stadium dash challenge in multiple cities. You will not be shocked to hear the event at The Star was the largest turnout in the nation. Every hour they would run a wave of participants running through the stadium with additional challenges at certain intervals. It was a lot of fun. Thousands of people were there. It was a great family event with loved ones in the stands cheering us all on.
Rise Frisco Kickoff

Sunday morning was the kickoff of Rise Frisco, a new church. They meet in Cobb Middle School. Pastor Grant Diamond asked me to come and support their first service. Congratulations to Grant and everyone who has supported this church along the way. We are glad you are in Frisco.
Cowboys Training Camp

Monday afternoon was the official opening ceremony of Cowboys Training Camp at The Star. The reason I love this is because Frisco City Council and I get to go on the field and welcome the Dallas Cowboys. It opened with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders performing. Then the Frisco Police Honor Guard presented the colors. Reedy High School choir beautifully sang the national anthem. Next, they let me welcome the Cowboys back to Frisco. The stadium was filled with cheering fans. So I was smart enough to keep my remarks short because I knew they were waiting for the players to come on the field. This is officially the beginning of football season!

Toyota's Hydrogen Powered Truck
Photo Credit: VisitFrisco.com
Tuesday I went to the Toyota headquarters to see a hydrogen powered truck. Toyota has been working to develop hydrogen cars and trucks. The 18-wheeler truck they had on display could handle just as much payload as a diesel powered truck, had zero emissions and was very quiet when running. The Toyota development team, nicknamed Project Portal, told us one of the truck driver's comments is that the hydrogen truck does not shake or is not loud. The truck drivers finish their drive not as exhausted because they are not dealing with the vibrations and loud diesel engine. Also, another reason why Toyota is suddenly attracted to Texas with this new technology is because Texas has the largest supply of hydrogen. It turns out that hydrogen is a natural byproduct of Texas's vast oil and gas industry. Toyota is not developing hydrogen-powered vehicles for next year but for the future. They said they want to be planning 50 to 100 years ahead. According to them, the electric-powered Prius was thought to be faddish. Now, every major car company in the world has an electric car. Toyota wants to keep developing and pushing for the next generation of transportation. It is great to have Toyota located so close to Frisco and to have a strong relationship with this global leader.
City Council Meeting Breakdown
City Council meeting was busy. We recognized our Frisco Fire Department for their outstanding work. They just received another ISO 1 rating. This is an independent 3rd party which rates fire departments. They said it difficult to receive a 1 rating but even tougher keeping it. And that is exactly what our Frisco Fire Department has achieved. This ISO rating affects your homeowner insurance. Frisco homeowners receive a built in discount on their insurance because of this superior rating. Thank you, Chief Piland and your entire Fire Department, for not only protecting us but for lowering our insurance cost.
At Council, we also passed an ordinance to allow brewpubs in Frisco and for Frisco Flyers to build a private badminton stadium. However, the big news of the night was Frisco EDC announcing the sale of Park 25. Frisco EDC President Ron Patterson explained that real estate development was not in their core mission. Ron announced the property was being sold to the Cowboys so they can build their distribution center. This will house all merchandise and be another Cowboys development. We could not be happier that the Cowboys has continued to invest in Frisco. They had several opportunities to build this distribution center in nearby cities but they are staying in Frisco.
Mayor's Business Round Table

Wednesday we hosted another one of my Business Round Tables. It was sponsored by the Omni Hotel. Our special guest was Fehmi Karahan. Thank you Omni General Manager, Jeff Smith, for generously providing a ballroom and great lunch. We had 150 business leaders join us for the discussion on the 2500 acres recently purchased by Hunt Realty. Fehmi has joined with Hunt to master develop this beautiful land. We talked about the potential of this development and the importance of preserving its natural beauty.

On Wednesday evening I spoke at the Collin County Young Republican meeting. They wanted to hear what was happening in Frisco. These millennials especially wanted to learn more about our autonomous vehicles pilot program with Drive.ai. I received several questions on property taxes and what reform should look like.

Coming up next week is another Frisco Veterans Social. This one is sponsored by Balfour Beatty and will have a Purple Heart theme. We will be honoring the veterans who have received a Purple Heart and the sacrifice they have made. If you are veteran, you are invited to attend this free event of fun and fellowship. August 31st, 6:00pm at City Works.

Tallawah Drama Festival 2013
The Commuting Students bubbled to the top of the 2013 Tallawah Festival, taking home the night's top honours with the three-hander Osisi Abathathu (an excerpt from The Escape of Three Sisters). The production copped awards for Best Production, Best Director as well as Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress.
"This was the year of the woman," said Tallawah Chief Judge, Michael Daley. He pointed out that the four days of competition had featured several pieces with all-female casts. The strength of female driven products were in great evidence at Best of Tallawah on Sunday, November 9, 2013.
Daley, noted however, that there could have been greater diversity in the representations. Indeed, the number of spread legs (for childbirth, rape or expression of sexual freedom) that took place in the six productions comprising Best of Tallawah underscored his point.
Osisi Abathathu was among the female centred productions. It is a moving tale of three sisters who are attempting to evade pursuers but are unable to outrun the demons they carry within. The production copped the Best Director award for Tyane Robinson, who also wrote the piece while Carlyn Telfer earned the award for Best Actress and Paula Bird snagged the award for Best Supporting Actress. The third member of the cast, Shanese Watson, earned a high commendation for her performance.
Maya Wilkinson's Vessel also mopped up several of the night's awards. The production, a two-hander focusing on a woman whose postpartum psychosis leads to tragic results, went home with four awards including those for Best New Play and Best Set.
The Jamaica Youth Theatre once again proved to be a hotbed of talent, copping a few major awards and several high commendations. Additionally, although they lost out on the top spot, JYT got to share in the glory as Tyane Robinson, is also of their number.
Robinson also copped a Best Actor Award for his role in JYT's Hell Got No Fury Like a Scorn Woman. Despite the play's badly worded name which wobbles between English and Jamaican Creole, it was an engaging production which benefited from solid performances, good direction, lighting and costuming.
There were 24 productions in this year's installation of the tertiary students drama festival. Festival coordinator Dr. Brian Heap, noted that the organizers made the deliberate decision to scale back and focus on student drama. Heap pointed out, that Tallawah provides an opportunity to experiment that is generally not available in commercial theatre where failure can be expensive.
"Sometimes it can be a very important thing to fail," Heap said, explaining that failure can be a crucial part of an artist's development.
Interestingly, Hell Got No Fury Like a Scorn Woman, Vessel and Osisi Abathathu are all new works. Along with these three short plays, Best of Tallawah also presented two ensemble poetry pieces which were radically different from each other. First up was the dark 'Only the Good Die Young' presented by Preston Hall. Later the University Dramatic Arts Society delivered the riotous ode to sketeldom 'Dem Gyal'.
The evening also included Anancy and Fyah, a vibrant retelling of the folk tale peppered with pop references. Delivered by Michael Lewis of Taylor Hall, it was absolutely hilarious.
The 2013 Tallawah Festival took place at its home the Philip Sherlock Centre, University of the West Indies, Mona, November 5 - 10, 2013.

Forest Whitaker, most recently seen in front of the camera on CBS' short-lived spin-off Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, is back behind the scenes for his next TV project.
TNT is developing the drama project H.I.K.E. with Whitaker's Spirit Dance Entertainment production company. But Whitaker is not only an executive producer on it, he's also co-writing the drama along with Amanda Green (Law & Order: SVU). Marc Levin is a consulting producer.
H.I.K.E., which stands for "Home Invasion Kidnapping Enforcement," will follow tough female cop Maggie Tarrant as she runs a Phoenix-based law enforcement team while simultaneously juggling her home life as a wife and mother.
Whitaker has been busy in recent years splitting his time between acting and producing. He was also an executive producer on Sundance Channel's Brick City.

The NVIDIA Quadro Plex 7000 array, and Quadro 6000, Quadro 5000 and Quadro 4000 GPUs feature the new NVIDIA® Scalable Geometry Engines and leverage NVIDIA Application Acceleration Engines (AXE) to enable the world's fastest performance across a broad range of CAD, DCC and visualization applications(2). Rated at an unheard of 1.3 billion triangles per second in raw performance(3), the Quadro 6000 enables users to interactively work with models and scenes that are five times more complex than ever before.
"For over a decade Quadro has been the choice of professionals around the world. We've also built Engines like AXE to enable the creation of next-gen applications," said Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional Solutions Group, NVIDIA. "When you couple these technologies with our Fermi architecture, the result is a new Quadro family that's exponentially better than anything the market has ever seen."
Redesigned from the Ground Up to Accelerate Entire Workflows
Combining high performance computing capabilities with advanced visualization, the new Quadro GPU is the world's first professional graphics solution with Error Correction Codes (ECC) memory and fast, IEEE double precision floating point performance. These are intended for applications demanding the highest accuracy, such as medical imaging, finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics.
"In high-end visual effects development, fast iteration is essential," said Olivier Maury, research and development engineer, Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). "By using NVIDIA Quadro GPUs, we are seeing up to eight iterations each day of complex fire, dust and air simulations, representing speed improvements of ten to fifteen times. NVIDIA CUDA and Quadro GPUs have entirely changed the way we solve complex visual effects challenges."
The new Quadro GPUs are built on industry standards, including OpenGL 4.1, DirectX 11, DirectCompute and OpenCL. In addition, Quadro leverages technologies that are unique to NVIDIA -- such as the company's portfolio of Application Acceleration Engines (AXE) and NVIDIA CUDA parallel processing architecture. The result is that software developers are able to create and deliver the next-generation of professional applications that incorporate compute-intensive tasks. Among these tasks are ray tracing, physics simulation, computational fluid dynamics and real-time video effects processing.
"NVIDIA isn't just working on building better graphics hardware, but the software tools needed to drive the needed advancements that are now changing the industry," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst, Enderle Group. "NVIDIA was committed to building tool after tool this past decade in order to drive the market where they needed it to go, and their efforts are paying off."
The new Quadro professional solutions introduced today include:
Scalable Visualization Systems:
Quadro Plex 7000, with 12 GB (total) of memory and 896 CUDA cores
Board and Desktop Workstation Solutions:
Quadro 6000, with 6 GB of GDDR5 memory and 448 CUDA cores
Quadro 5000, with 2.5 GB of GDDR5 memory and 352 CUDA cores
Quadro 4000, with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory and 256 CUDA cores
Mobile Workstations:
Quadro 5000M, mobile workstation GPU with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory and 320 CUDA cores
Additionally, all Quadro products are compatible with the new NVIDIA 3D Vision Pro active shutter-glasses solution, also announced today, for the highest-quality stereoscopic 3D immersive experience.
Widespread Adoption
Workstation OEMs and System Integrators, including Dell, HP, Lenovo, BOXX Technologies and NextComputing, are among those that are offering the newest Quadro solutions. Quadro products are also available from value added resellers through master distributors PNY Technologies in North America and Europe, Leadtek in Asia Pacific, and ELSA in Japan.
"As the first professional-class GPUs to integrate high performance computing with advanced visualization, NVIDIA Quadro combined with Dell Precision workstations are poised to transform workflows," said Greg Weir, senior manager, Dell Precision Workstations Product and ISV Marketing. "With this technology, we are enabling our design, research, animation and film customers to deliver higher quality results in less time."
"NVIDIA continues to push the envelope on delivering cutting-edge graphics solutions,"said Rob Herman, director of product marketing, worldwide ThinkStation Business Unit, Lenovo. We're actively incorporating these latest graphics into our newly upgraded ThinkStation C20 and D20 workstations to deliver innovative, 'visual supercomputers' to our customers."
Availability and Pricing
The Quadro 4000 ($1,199 MSRP, USD) and Quadro 5000 ($2,249 MSRP, USD) are available immediately through all channels. The Quadro 6000 ($4,999 MSRP, USD) and Quadro Plex 7000 ($14,500 MSRP, USD) will be available this fall. Mobile workstations based on the Quadro 5000M will be available in the third quarter of 2010 from HP and Dell.

In three days our soul-winning marathon will begin! Our good friend Sam Ward will be returning to Croatia for 16 days. I'll pick him up at the airport at 2:00 on Saturday. He told me, "brother Johnny bring some tracts while we are in the capitol because I want to spend a few hours to get started." I guess jet lag and all we will begin the marathon on Saturday!
Last year God did incredible things! We had a total of 76 saved in 10 days. When brother Sam left, the church here was on fire! We are all excited about what God is going to do. We have a goal to see 100 people saved and 10 baptized! For Europe that seems impossible, but we know nothing is impossible for our God.
I know I have not blogged in awhile. I hope to be more faithful about it in the future. I'll be giving updates through out our soul-winning marathon. Please be praying for this. Brother Sam and I will spend 5-7 hours a day soul-winning. We need God's power and we need your prayers!

It has been in general use in America since the 1970s.Marius is a Roman family name which was derived either from MARS, the name of the Roman god of War, or else from the Latin root mas, maris meaning "male". Gaius Marius was a famous Roman consul of the 2nd century BC. Since the start of the Christian era, it has occasionally been used as a masculine form of MARIA.

- Meanings and history of the name Jamarius
As Jamal means "beauty" in Arabic. Jamal al-Din al-Afghani was a political activist who promoted pan-Islamism in the 19th century, Marius somewhat is derived from something rather familier which means male so the alternative is that this should mean 'male beauty' but as it is invented it's up to the parents who name their child this to decide that.

Who Are You?
John 1:19-28
Early New Years' morning I tripped in a drive way and chipped my arm and the lower part of my side is bruised; last week my car was damaged in an accident; what I remember about New Years' Eve it was the most awesome time I had with my two best friends, and with the accident it was a great night with four of my friends–if one of them had been hurt it would have torn me a part; you see sh..t happens, material items are unimportant, accidents happen, that is life, but what is important are the people. Items can be replaced. Items are nothing. People are everything.
I have two items that mean the world to me–a cross with a stone in its center, given to me by a young homeless guy in the Haight who had the opportunity to sell it for a hundred dollars and saw me and said, "I want River to have it because he loves us," and a bracelet given to me by a friends mom. For as I looked at it I saw a beautiful piece of jewelry and than I realized it was a gift from a lady who has struggled with me, and I thought, "she likes me", and that meant more to me than anything. Those are the two items that mean the most to me. What matters is the people in our lives. It is easy to understand accidents they are black and white. But an illness that is illusive, not detectable, that is a different story.
These past months I have been struggling with a fever, weigh loss, and getting weaker. I have been afraid, scared to death. I am so unsure of myself, I question, I doubt, and I keep on going. I have felt judgement from all circles–and people giving one opinion after another. Face book is horrible. I broke down and cried in front of my physician the other day and she said: "F….k them, you are sick, you are recovering, but it is going to take time, just take it easy, and remember who your friends are, you have found that out in this time, in a few months you will be back to yourself."
Throughout this time people have commented, "You never judge me," over and over, and I realize that is my greatest gift, and it comes from being judged through the years, it is a gift that is priceless, but it has come with a price, a great price, and I would not trade it for anything.
More importantly I imagine Jesus coming to me in the middle of the night in so many ways as I have sweated off my fevers, and his smile is that of saying "I love you," and that is all that matters, and there is no judgment.
And the words of Abraham Lincoln come to me from his first inauguration:
"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it we must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory–will yet swell the chorus of the union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels our nature."
Those words are a reminder of what we can be. Let the "better angels of our nature" guide us as friends of all.
Deo Gratias! Thanks be to God!

Car description
This classic first-generation 1986 Toyota 4Runner DLX with 2.4L 22R-E electronically fuel-injected engine and manual five-speed overdrive transmission has low mileage for its age, and is among the cleanest remaining on the road. It has been well-maintained and is in great condition. The engine starts easily, runs quietly and smoothly; the transmission shifts smoothly and precisely. The 4WD was rarely used, and is therefore in near-mint condition. Four brand new Pathfinder Sport S AT LT235/75 R15 all-terrain tires (not shown in photos) are included in the sale, allowing this truck to be driven anywhere.
Factory options include AC (functional, original R12 system), AM/FM cassette radio (functional), variable-assist power steering, power brakes, tilt steering wheel, and adjustable interval wipers. Port-installed option package included divided rear seat and seat belts (not standard on the DLX), matching cloth seat covers, running boards (since replaced by SmittyBilt 3" step bars), and special Hurricane style wheels with larger tires.
Always located in Texas, and in the desert southwest(El Paso)from 1988 to 2009, this truck is virtually rust free. The original Toyota jack, tool kit, owner manual, and the owner's well-used Toyota Truck and 4Runner 1986 Repair Manual are included with the purchase. Original purchase documents and receipts for all purchases, including professional engine rebuild and custom repaint,document thefull history of the truck andwill be included with the purchase.
This truck is in great shape mechanically since maintenance was done solely, andconscientiously,by the mechanical engineer owner for nearly 31 years. Oil and oil filter changes, air filter changes, and lubrication of chassis and driveline components were done at manufacturer recommended intervals using premium 10W40 motor oil(Pennzoil, Valvoline), Toyota filters, and molybdenum-disulfide lithium based grease. Manual locking hubs and wheel bearings were serviced and repacked at recommended intervals using Toyota parts. Original owner had complete rust treatment done to the truck pre-delivery.
The professionally rebuilt 22R-E engine in this truck is barely broken-in with less than 62,000 miles: An unfortunate timing chain failure at 116,420 miles in late 1993 required the engine be fully rebuilt by a certified Toyota dealer technician using all new Toyota parts. Engine was bored 0.020" oversize, and new pistons, rings, valves, water pump, reground crankshaft,crankshaft/rod bearings,and a complete new timing chain assembly (chain,sprockets,tensioner, dampers, and cover) were installed in the rebuild. A complete new clutch, hoses, drive belts, and throttle sensor were also installed with the rebuilt engine.
In preparation for sale, this truck has been fully serviced: All chassis and drive train grease fittings have been lubricated, oil and filter changed, new air filter installed, and brake/clutch hydraulic systems have been purged, fluid replaced and systems bled. The clutch master cylinder was also replaced to make this truck fully 100 percent complete mechanically. Steering linkage is tight and in good condition with factory-specified free-play.
A custom repaint using premium PPG acrylic urethane products was done in 2005. The original factory paint was sanded off, and one coat DP74LF epoxy primer and four coats ofPrimaK36 acrylic urethane sanding primer were applied. After block-sanding the primer coats, three top coats of ConceptDCC single-stageacrylic urethanein the originalToyota Red(Code 3D7, PPG 72574)were applied, the final coat being mixed 50/50 withConceptDCU clear to improve durability. The final finish was then color-sanded to remove orange peel and other imperfections. The fiberglass back cover, originallymatte red from the factory,now has the same paint coverage and gloss as the rest of the truck.
All originally black DLX parts, such as front grille, park light housings, door handles, door mirrors, B pillar trim, sliding window frames, tail light housings, and rear gate lock bar, were removed and refinished in body-color acrylic urethane to prevent future UV deterioration. Bumpers, bumper caps, side moldings, and stone guards were removed and refinished usingacrylic urethane inStrong Black, either satin or gloss. At the time of repaint, most weatherstrips, rubber bumpers, and plastic clips on doors, rear gate, and under the hood were also replaced, along with badges on the front grille and rear gate. After twelve years, the repaint is in great condition, and still has outstanding gloss retention (See photos).
This truck is set up for towing with a Valley Class III 2" X 2" receiver hitch (ball mount and ball not included), and a Kelsey electric trailer brake controller mounted under the dash. A properly designed and assembled electrical harness is permanently installed to a seven-wire weatherproof trailer connector mounted below the rear bumper.
A few minor issues should be expected for a 31 year old vehicle: Some interior plastic parts are showing UV deterioration; this has resulted in a couple of interior trim items being missing. The original dash cover has been covered with an aftermarket cap. (See photos.) The original mud-tolerant vinyl floor coverings are like new except for a small worn area in the driver-side foot well, and some isolated contact areas of wear and tear. The driver-side seat upholstery has minor wear (See photos). Headliner is in great shape except for one small, repaired tear. There are a few easily retouched surface defects in the paint, and four very small dings/dents in the driver-side door, hood, and tail gate (See photos). There is some superficial rust on the exterior passenger-side A pillar that was discovered during preparation for sale; otherwise, the truck is completely rust free. The power rear window functions only with the interior console switch.

Hey everyone, Alexicon1 here. Last patch I detailed the changes to cards and their effects on the metagame. The response was quite positive, so here I am with round 2, but now I'm talking about the monthlies. There is plenty to talk about here, and some of these cards are definitely doozies. If you haven't read an "Under The Hood" before, in this segment I discuss card additions and changes to the game not necessarily been specified by Counterplay. I'll run over each change, and a basic breakdown of the effect on the game.
So sit back, relax and enjoy the first breakdown on the 2-mana Common card: Azure Herald.
This is one of those cards that has a use all throughout the game, where its effectiveness doesn't drop off as the game advances from the early game, through the mid-game and ends up at the late game. In those first few turns you can drop this and go face a little bit without much undue damage, and this minion is quite tanky for a 2-drop, surviving a Phoenix Fire and as well should take 2 hits to clear off.
I fully expect this card to become a staple of Healyonar (for whoever plays that) and feature in Control decks, because with Reva currently terrorising the ladder, every bit of health counts. We may see this card feature in many decks for that sole reason, a good Reva counter. It's still good enough to play on Turn 1 - a 1/4 body is good enough to trade with 2/3s alongside your general, with the option of playing it later for the healing effect. It's just like a Turn 1 Mystic - reliable when you're just starting, and useful forever.
Good start Counterplay: now let's see what we can do with the 1-mana Rare, Zyx.
I liked this card the moment I saw it for its synergy with Kara's BBS, whose change I covered last edition - for 2 mana you get 10 stats (a pair of 2/3s). An almost better Gloomchaser, this will be very nice as a Turn 1 play. Even better if you have 2 in hand as that is 4 minions, a 4/8 for 2 mana which can always take another mana tile.
This card could also see use in Swarm Abyssian as this accomplishes Swarm's goal perfectly, it's a better Lilithe BBS, although without Wraithling synergy. Throwing this out to try and reach for a Snowchaser to infiltrate first turn is also a very nice bonus. A really good value card overall, definitely expect this to see play in certain archetypes.
So, with No. 2 done, let's move on to one of the more interesting monthlies I've seen in a while: Ironclad.
Here is a very interesting one, I was quite surprised when I saw this one. This seems to be partially directed at salvaging Vetruvian's overnerfed Siphon Energy and synergises with a Dying Wish Vetruvian deck. Although the cost is quite high for a relatively weak minion stat-wise, it makes up for it with quite a potent effect, which may see use with Vetruvian, and perhaps Abyssian for a pseudo-3 mana minion when used with Darkfire Sacrifice for an board-wide dispel.
Although a powerful card, I don't actually expect it to see much play except for a few archetypes. Perhaps if it was 1 mana cheaper it may see more play, but yes, this seems like damage control for Vetruvian's removal options.
Next up, we have probably the most synergistic card of the lot: the 4-mana Legendary, Decimus.
First of all, I have to say I'm loving the art of this card, getting a real butcher vibe out of it. And Counterplay have answered our prayers and given us damage synergistic with Starhorn! This is a strong minion stat-wise, and coupled with an amazing effect can be free damage in the late game when Starhorn's BBS is active every turn. Spelljammer procs for 4 damage, amazing burst potential with this.
To be completely honest, this might see use in Fast Songhai, as Songhai need the card draw anyway, why not add some damage to the enemy? That and Starhorn of course. This can be a huge danger point and can be the subject of a deck and become a win-con.
That's it for today everyone, I hope to see you guys and gals next time, and be sure to check out Turn 1 Mystic for more quality Duelyst content. But before I go, we had a teaser posted on the @PlayDuelyst twitter about the Cryptographer, the card designed to honour the 20 people (including me) that solved the Seven Sisters riddle.
The card is below, feel free to theorise on its effects!
Until next time,

Senator Kabiru Marafa on Thursday countered the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, on the primaries for the election of candidates for next year's general election in Zamfara State.
The senator spoke against the backdrop of the altercation between Oshiomhole and the Independent National Electoral Commission over the primaries in Zamfara State.
INEC had in a letter to the APC said the party has no candidate for any of the elections in Zamfara State.
But Oshiomhole countered with a response that the party produced consensus candidates.
Marafa, speaking with newsmen on Thursday, said there was no truth in Oshiomhole's position.
Marafa, a member of the APC from Zamfara State, said there was no consensus candidates in as at the deadline given by INEC.
He warned the leadership of the party not to delve into what can be contested in court of Law.
He blamed the current problem in the state on Governor Abdulaziz Yari, lamenting that the situation in the state is as result of gross negligence.
According to Marafa: "The only thing I saw that is wrong in the letter of the National Chairman of the party is that there was consensus.
"There was no consensus until the close of primary elections.
"If you force any consensus on us, people are going to revolt."

No, these are not baseball statistics. They are SON statistics!
This is Andrew's second summer working as a lifeguard at White Water, our local water theme park. All the guards receive extensive initial training (which they pay for) and then weekly on-going training that includes practice in rescuing people and dealing with all kinds of emergencies. Last year, Andrew worked all summer without having to personally handle any crisis situations.
One month into this summer, it's been a different story.
First of all, he got the highest possible grade on his Ellis audit. Ellis is the organization that trains and certifies the White Water lifeguards, and they show up occasionally (incognito) and audit a guard. That is, they watch him carefully to see how he's doing his job, and sometimes they do or create some situation to see how the guard responds. Generally, guards don't know who is being audited; they only find out after the fact when they are told by their supervisor what grade they got.
Andrew is certified as an LG2 (he began his lifeguarding "career" as an LG1 last summer), which means he can work the wave pool in addition to all the other rides and slides. The wave pool is huge and six feet deep at one end. It's the setting in which more serious incidents are more likely to occur, so some additional training and experience is required for those guards. I think there are four to six guards on the wave pool at a time.
One day a few weeks ago, Andrew was working the wave pool, when a male guest hollered at him, "This lady's having a seizure!" Andrew immediately stopped the wave machine and jumped in. The woman was quite large (350+ pounds), on an inner tube, and completely unconscious. Andrew got her to the side of the pool, and then it took some six guards and/or guests working together to get her out of the pool and onto a backboard. An ambulance was called, and she was beginning to come around by the time the EMTs arrived.
Andrew was taken into the office and told he could go home, but he didn't want to. The management questioned him to make sure he was OK emotionally and able to continue doing his job, and he was fine. But I will say that when he got home that night and shared what had happened, he was a pretty somber fellow. I think the fragility of life really hit him.
Then just a day or two later, he was not working and went to White Water as a guest to hang out with friends. As he was walking by the wave pool, there was an emergency. A female guard had jumped in to save a kid who was drowning. She had followed protocol; first turning off the wave machine and notifying the office of the emergency, which should have brought immediate assistance. She had jumped in and – alone – gotten him out of the pool. Now she was working on the kid alone, performing CPR with a crowd of guests around, but STILL no help had arrived, and Andrew was appalled. He stepped up, took charge, ordered the crowd to back away and give them space, and maintained control of the situation till more help arrived. He was obviously not in uniform, and when a belligerent guest asked him who he thought he was, Andrew said (very firmly), "An off-duty guard. Get over it." The guest dropped his 'tude, the boy recovered, and management commended Andrew for his stepping in to assist as he did.
White Water guards wear lanyards with their whistles on them, and when they save someone in some way, they are issued a bead to display on their lanyard. Andrew received a bead for his rescue of the woman who had the seizure.
A couple weeks ago, he was again on stand at the wave pool in the afternoon. He'd been treated rudely by some guests, and he was pretty fed up with the antics of a group of young people who obviously couldn't swim and were clowning around, pretending that they were drowning and hollering at him. I'm sure it's difficult to stay calm when you're being provoked like that, you can't retaliate, and you have to discern who is and who isn't really in danger. The guards at the wave pool have to scan their assigned area every ten seconds, and on one of Andrew's scans, he saw a young lady (who clearly couldn't swim) fall out of her tube and begin to go down. It was like the boy who cried wolf. The guy with her was trying to save her, but he was actually drowning both of them, so Andrew and another guard, Haley, both jumped in and did a two-man rescue. Both guests were OK.
Andrew later asked his head boss about a bead for that "save," and John told him he'd take care of it "tonight." Afterwards, Andrew felt bad about having asked about it, and he texted John. Here's a copy of their conversation:
A: Hey John, I'm sorry about asking for the bead so soon after everything happened. That was selfish of me. If you choose not to give me one, I understand.
J: Ha! It wasn't selfish at all. Well deserved my friend. The only reason I said "tonight" was because I figured you'd jump at the chance to go home. I'm super proud of you. You have handled yourself so incredibly well in some very pressure-filled situations. You'll get it tomorrow if you're here. = )
A: Okay, haha. Thank you! I just didn't want you thinking that a bead was my main motivation for saving someone. = {
J: Andrew… You're one of my favorites and one of the best and most exceptional kids I know. You're an incredible lifeguard, but you're a better young man. I know beads don't motivate you to save people. Maybe free food, but not beads. = )
A: I'm not going to say that I cried, but I came pretty close [referring to when he read John's comment previous comment]. That means a whole heck of a lot to me and I appreciate you and everything you do for us lifeguards probably more than you'll ever know. Thanks for making me look forward to coming into work every day. = )
Wow! How's that for an atta-boy?!? I'm so proud of our exceptional, incredible son that if I were wearing a dress shirt, my buttons would pop!

Is low-energy laser an effective treatment for lateral epicondylitis? Do stretching programs prevent the development of contracture following stroke? Can the use of the flutter valve reduce postoperative respiratory complications? Rigorous answers to these questions can only be provided by properly designed, properly implemented clinical trials. Unfortunately the literature contains both well performed trials which draw valid conclusions and badly performed trials which draw invalid conclusions. The reader must be able to distinguish between the two. This tutorial describes key features of clinical trials (or "methodological filters") which confer validity.
Some studies which purport to determine the effectiveness of physiotherapy treatments simply assemble a group of subjects with a particular condition and take measures of the severity of the condition before and after treatment. If subjects improve over the period of treatment, the treatment is said to have been effective. Studies which employ these methods rarely provide satisfactory evidence of treatment effectiveness because it is rarely certain that the observed improvements were due to treatment, and not to extraneous variables such as natural recovery, statistical regression (a statistical phenomena whereby people become less "extreme" over time simply as a result of the variability in their condition), placebo effects, or the "Hawthorne" effect (where subjects report improvements because they think this is what the investigator wants to hear). The only satisfactory way to deal with these threats to the validity of a study is to have a control group. Then a comparison is made between the outcomes of subjects who received the treatment and subjects who did not receive the treatment.
The logic of controlled studies is that, on average, extraneous variables should act to the same degree on both treatment and control groups, so that any difference between groups at the end of the experiment should be due to treatment. By way of example, it is widely known that most cases of acute low back pain resolve spontaneously and rapidly, even in the absence of any treatment, so simply showing that subjects improved with a course of a treatment would not constitute evidence of treatment effectiveness. A controlled trial which showed that treated subjects fared better than control subjects would constitute stronger evidence that the improvement was due to treatment, because natural recovery should have occurred in both treatment and control groups. The observation that treated subjects fared better than control subjects suggests that something more than natural recovery was making subjects better. Note that, in a controlled study, the "control" group need not receive no treatment. Often, in controlled trials, the comparison is between a control group which receives conventional therapy and an experimental group which receives conventional therapy plus treatment. Alternatively, some trials compare a control group which receives conventional treatment with an experimental group that receives a new therapy.
Importantly, control groups only provide protection against the confounding effects of extraneous variables in so far as treatment and control groups are alike. Only when treatment and control groups are the same in every respect that determines outcome (other than whether or not they get treated) can the experimenter be certain that differences between groups at the end of the trial are due to treatment. In practice this is achieved by randomly allocating the pool of available subjects to treatment and control groups. This ensures that extraneous factors such as the extent of natural recovery have about the same effect in treatment and control groups. In fact, when subjects are randomly allocated to groups, differences between treatment and control groups can only be due to treatment or chance, and it is possible to rule out chance if the differences are large enough – this is what statistical tests do. Note that this is the only way to ensure the comparability of treatment and control groups. There is no truly satisfactory alternative to random allocation.
Even when subjects are randomly allocated to groups, it is necessary to ensure that the effect (or lack of effect) of treatment is not distorted by "observer bias". This refers to the possibility that the investigator's belief in the effectiveness of a treatment may subconsciously distort the measurement of treatment outcome. The best protection is provided by "blinding" the observer – making sure that the person who measures outcomes does not know if the subject did or did not receive the treatment. It is generally desirable that patient and therapists are also blinded. When patients have been blinded, you can know that the apparent effect of therapy was not produced by placebo or Hawthorne effects. Blinding therapists to the therapy they are applying is often difficult or impossible, but in those studies where therapists are blind to the therapy (as, for example, in trials of low-energy laser where the device emits either laser or coloured light, but the therapist is not informed which), you can know that the effects of therapy were not produced by the therapist's enthusiasm with the therapy, rather than by the therapy itself.
It is also important that few subjects discontinue participation ("drop-out") during the course of the trial. This is because dropouts can seriously distort the study's findings. A true treatment effect might be disguised if control subjects whose condition worsened over the period of the study left the study to seek treatment, as this would make the control group's average outcome look better than it actually was. Conversely, if treatment caused some subjects' condition to worsen and those subjects left the study, the treatment would look more effective than it actually was. For this reason dropouts always introduce uncertainty into the validity of a clinical trial. Of course the more dropouts, the greater the uncertainty – a rough rule of thumb is that if more than 15% of subjects drop out of a study, the study is potentially seriously flawed. Some authors simply do not report the number of dropouts. In keeping with the established scientific principal of guilty until proven innocent, these studies ought to be considered to be potentially invalid.
To summarise, valid clinical trials:
- randomly allocate subjects to treatment and control groups
- blind observers, and preferably patients and therapists as well
- have few dropouts.
The next time you read a clinical trial of a physiotherapy treatment, ask yourself if the trial has these features. As a general rule, those trials which do not satisfy these criteria could be invalid and should not be considered to constitute strong evidence of treatment effectiveness (or ineffectiveness). Those trials which do satisfy these criteria should be read carefully and their findings should be committed to memory!

While perusing my google reader I came across Basil Lemonade from Love and Olive Oil. This sounded very refreshing, and I have unlimited supply of basil. The drought is pretty bad here, and our grass is fried. But, the basil plant and rosemary are trucking along. I was happy to find another way to use basil!
I changed the recipe a little bit. I felt it was a little bit too sweet, and added more water.
Basil Lemonade
1/8 c of sugar
2 lemons
handful of basil
Make simple syrup by combining an 1/8 of cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in the microwave, and heat until the sugar is dissolved. About 1 minute. Meanwhile, squeeze 2 lemons in a pitcher and add the basil. Then muddle the basil and lemon juice. Once the simple syrup has cooled add to the lemon juice basil mixture. Add another cup or 2 of water and refrigerate. Serve over ice.

It was obvious that the box was in the way, that it needed to be put back.

It was up to me to tell him that he should put away something he got out in the first place.
"That's the point," I said, now in tears, "I don't want to have to ask."

Part of the role of your Napa County Creek DUI lawyer is to assess the prosecution's case. One way that he or she can accomplish this is by watching the actions of the prosecution during pretrial conferences.
Your Napa County Creek DUI lawyer can look to see if the prosecutor makes a lot of notes during the conference. Many times, one prosecutor may not be assigned to handle the case from start to finish. For this reason, the prosecutor who is currently handling the case must take care to provide adequate notes so that the next prosecutor will have a clear understanding of what has occurred to date. If your Napa County Creek DUI lawyer observes the prosecutor writing extensive notes, he or she may assume that there may be something good or bad that has been revealed about the case.
Determining the Tone of the Notes
Your Napa County DUI attorney may be able to determine whether the notes that the prosecution are good or bad for your case by the tone of the next pretrial conference. A prosecutor who takes a rigid line likely suggests that the notes are bad for you, but a softer approach may mean that the prosecution believes that problems may be foreseen.If you would like to learn more about this note-taking process, a DUI attorney may be able to help.
Contact Our Napa County DUI Attorney
Contact Blackie Burak at 1-866-BLCKDUI to schedule a confidential consultation with an experienced DUI attorney who may be able to explain how note-taking can affect your case.

HOBOKEN, N.J. — Places long accustomed to the routine beatings of hurricanes have shaped this country's traditional response to them: evacuate during the storm, then elevate the buildings or retreat inland to protect against the next onslaught.
But what works along vast expanses of shoreline is less suited to cities that are densely populated. Jolted into a new reality by Hurricane Sandy — which hit not only communities of bungalows but urban areas stacked with high-rises — experts said that coastal cities must figure out a new approach to hurricane preparation and recovery.
The mayor of this city of 50,000 across the Hudson River from New York, badly damaged by the storm, is pushing federal and state officials to make it a test case for a new model of hurricane resilience, one that could be translated to other cities in the Northeast that rising seas have increasingly turned into flood plains.
Most bluntly, Mayor Dawn Zimmer said, that means accepting and planning for the likelihood that most residents will not evacuate, even under an official order. And it requires adjusting federal flood-insurance guidelines to recognize that it is not possible to elevate an entire city. About two-thirds of Hoboken lies in the flood zone on new federal maps, but apart from the rare single-family homes, most buildings are apartment complexes or attached houses that cannot easily be mounted on pilings.
"The rules don't work," Mayor Zimmer said. "They're looking at a fairly suburban approach. We need to carve out an urban approach. Because today it's Hoboken, tomorrow, Boston."
Under Ms. Zimmer's proposal, federal disaster agencies would not give money to homeowners to have their houses lifted. Instead, the money would go to the city to pay for what she calls a universal solution: building permanent walls to the north and south of the city, where the hurricane sent surges that, as she said after the storm, "filled the city like a bathtub." The city is also proposing a removable wall installed along the Hudson waterfront and floodgates in the city.
In the event that a storm overwhelms power substations, Hoboken also wants to be able to disconnect from the electrical grid — something utility companies have traditionally opposed — and transfer to its own mini-grid, which would rely on a mix of energy sources — diesel, solar, wind and natural gas. Among other things, that would power a system of lights in windows that residents who remain in their apartments could use to signal distress.
And rather than offer to transfer development rights horizontally — that is, to buy out homeowners in the flood plain and move them farther inland — Hoboken is considering transferring people vertically, moving them out of basements and ground-level apartments. Lower floors might be left vacant, or used for parking garages.
The mayor's plans, which she was scheduled to unveil officially in her State of the City speech on Wednesday evening and which would require the support of various federal and state agencies, were shaped by the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.
Officials estimate that less than half of Hoboken residents evacuated before the storm. The city, without cellphone or landline communication or electricity, relied on volunteers to ferry pots of water to high-rise buildings, and bring prescriptions to elderly people too afraid to venture through dark hallways. Those experiences were replicated in high-rises in parts of New York and Atlantic City.
As the water lingered for days, the mayor drove around with the National Guard, trying to identify people who were stranded in buildings and needed help. Residents and businesses are still cleaning out "garden style" basement units that were overwhelmed by water.
Experts said the problems would only increase for cities in the Northeast as sea levels rise. "Even a traditional nor'easter is going to cause some flooding, and when we get bigger storms, there's going to be that much more damage," said William Solecki, director of the City University of New York's Institute for Sustainable Cities at Hunter College. "What to do with cities as they transform to a higher risk than they previously imagined is an emerging challenge that people have to reconcile."
Ms. Zimmer has discussed her proposals with representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Flood Insurance Program and is hoping that both can provide money from their hazard-mitigation program. She is also applying for grants from the state, which will parcel out the recovery money that Congress approved last month.
Experts said the key element was a wide variety of solutions and redundancies. Hurricane Katrina, for example, showed that a reliance on "hard" solutions alone, like levees, can fail.
"If you're going to put together this kind of integrated approach, you need to think about a whole range of events that could happen, and think about how you might end up with the fewest regrets," said Armando Carbonell, chairman of the department of planning and urban form at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in Cambridge, Mass. "It's very tricky and very new, and it's getting away from a single engineering criteria that says just build it 10 feet higher and you're absolutely safe."
Ms. Zimmer's plan also includes installing microgenerators — off the ground, and powered by the city's own grid — at grocery stores, hospitals, police and fire stations and senior and public housing.
The plan would also include "green" components, like planting green roofs to absorb rainwater, which floods the city even in routine storms. Rutgers University has already developed a plan to put porous pavers and "rain gardens" on city streets.
The mayor is also seeking money to buy two old industrial plots and a parking lot to install tanks to catch water in the southwestern end of the city, which suffered the worst flooding of the storm, despite being landlocked. Additional pumps would back up an existing one that was flushing out 75 million gallons of water a day after the storm.
"It's very hard to change cities that have been developed for a certain way for 100-plus years," said Adam Zellner, who works with Greener by Design, a New Jersey firm working with Hoboken and recovery agencies. If it works, he said, "It's a great demonstration because if you look at cities between Philadelphia and Boston, a lot of them have development patterns that are very similar."
