Fox Uses Case Of Canadian Baby To Raise Specter Of Death Panels
Research ››› ››› FAE JENCKS
On Fox News' America Live, Megyn Kelly highlighted the case of a Canadian couple who Kelly claims has been "ordered to let their 13-month-old boy die." During discussion of the case, guest Wendy Murphy claimed the decision was "a cost issue," when in reality, the baby has no chance of recovery and doctors seek to avoid preforming a procedure that could increase the baby's discomfort and the risk of infection.
Kelly: Parents Ordered "To Consent To The Death Of Their Son"
Kelly Opens Segment By Claiming A "Board That Oversees The Government-Run Health Care System" Ordered Joseph Maraachli's Parents "To Consent To The Death Of Their Son. From America Live:
MEGYN KELLY (host): Well, they have been ordered to let their 13-month-old boy die. Little Joseph Maraachli, on life support, battling a neurological disease. The Canadian hospital that he is in wants to remove his breathing tube, saying that he is in a permanent vegetative state and that he should die in the hospital. A Canadian board that oversees the government-run health care system there has just agreed with the hospital and has ordered this child's parents -- ordered them -- to consent to the death of their son. [Fox News, America Live, 2/22/11]
Doctors Concluded Baby Has No Chance Of Recovery
Canadian Baby's Condition Irreversible, He Remains In A "Persistent Vegetative State." According to the Canadian news agency Postmedia News:
Joseph has been at London's Victoria Hospital since October, suffering from severe and progressively deteriorating neurological problems.
His brain is losing function and he can't breathe on his own or swallow.
After a battery of tests and various examinations, specialists in London concluded that Joseph has no prospect of recovery and is in a persistent vegetative state. [Postmedia News, 2/17/11]
Numerous Specialists Concluded That Joseph "Has No Prospect Of Recovery." According to Postmedia News:
One-year-old Joseph Maraachli has been at the Victoria Hospital in London since mid-October, suffering from a "severe and progressively deteriorating neurological state," according to medical reports.
Joseph's brain is losing function, his reflexes and responses to stimulation are abnormal, he can't breathe on his own or swallow. Over the past three months, he has been examined by various specialists, including pediatric neurologists who ordered MRIs and brain scans. The doctors have concluded that Joseph has no prospect of recovery and will only continue to deteriorate. A decision was made to remove Joseph's breathing tube, which is keeping his airway clear of fluids and secretions on which he would otherwise choke. [Postmedia News, 1/28/11]
Murphy: Decision "Is Absolutely A Cost Issue"
America Live Guest Murphy: Decision "Is A Cost Issue." From America Live:
MEGYN KELLY (host): Dr. London, do you think that there is something going on here in terms of Canadian health care system, which pays -- you know, they pay for all of the medical care. Do you feel like that's playing any role here?
DR. KATHLEEN LONDON: I can't believe that it would, because again, a tracheostomy is such a simple procedure, and the parents are saying they are going to care for this child at home. So I'm not really sure how this could be a cost issue or anything else. And I'm actually quite confused and wondering what details are we missing, and is there something else?
KELLY: What do you make of it, Wendy?
WENDY MURPHY: Well, look, I think it absolutely is a cost issue because putting in the tracheotomy will allow the child to live longer which costs the hospital that daily cost care. Please --
LONDON: No. They're taking him home.
KELLY: But he could come back.
MURPHY: No, but I understand. But they also then have oversight responsibilities. Whether the child were -- have a tracheotomy and stayed in the hospital or go home, they still have oversight responsibilities, which costs money every single day that that child is alive.
This is what I'm worried about with Obamacare. You know, it's not quite likely to be that bad. We don't really have death panels as people have come to understand that term. But we are going to have government agencies and panels making decisions based on cost, and that's a lot closer to the Canadian model than we've ever seen in this country. So we should be worried. It won't get this bad, but it will come close. [Fox News, America Live, 2/22/11]
Procedure Would Cause Discomfort, Increase Risk Of Infection
Doctors: Procedure Would "Likely Cause Much Discomfort" And "Increase The Risk Of Infection And Pneumonia." According to the Toronto Sun:
The baby's father and mother, Sana Nader, 35, wanted the same treatment for Joseph as was given to their daughter before she died, eight years ago at 18 months -- give Joseph a tracheotomy and ventilation, and allow them to take him home to die what would be a peaceful death.
But Joseph's doctors say while a tracheotomy -- an incision is made in a patient's airway, to help breathing -- may prolong the baby's life, it's futile in this case and would likely cause much discomfort. It would certainly also increase the risk of infection and pneumonia, they argue.
"The medical officials would not want this little boy to suffer," [Superior Court Justice Helen] Rady said. [Toronto Sun, 2/18/11]

Mechanical Engineers Take Top Awards At Conference
SOCORRO, N.M. October 27, 2009 – A group of 17 New Mexico Tech students made a big splash at the university's first visit to the Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Award Conference in early October.
Tyler Bushnell, president of the campus chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, said the event was an excellent opportunity for New Mexico Tech students to show off their abilities in academic competitions and professional situations.

"The conference was really a great opportunity to get one-on-one time with recruiters and figure out what employers want," Bushnell said. "We were able to network in the best way that I've ever experienced."
Department chairman Dr. Warren Ostergren said he was impressed with the students for performing well, but also for taking the initiative to learn about the conference.
"This is something they came up with on their own," he said. "The students in ASME were looking for opportunities and this was unique because of all the companies represented at the conference. It was a great opportunity to interface with companies that wouldn't normally come to New Mexico Tech as part of our career fair."
Bushnell said he was appreciative of financial support the students received from the university administration and from the Student Association to attend the conference in Long Beach, Calif.
Bushnell was on a College Bowl team that swept the competition. His team won every category and was crowned College Bowl champion.
"We had a really good showing at the College Bowl," said Bushnell, who was drafted onto the Disney Imagineering team. "In the history of the conference, no team has ever swept the competition."
The College Bowl teams were sponsored by various national companies that attended the conference's career fair. Students interested in competing visited the various booths, introduced themselves and explained why they should be selected for a College Bowl team.
Bushnell's teammates on the Disney team included students from Illinois, Florida and California. During the competition, the teams were given non-technical tasks that tested their creativity, innovation, interpersonal skills and abilities to work together as team.
Alex Plonczak was on the Lockheed Martin team that placed third place in the College Bowl. Erika Summers was drafted by the NAVSEA team; she earned the award for being the top woman in the competition. In all, five Tech students took part in the College Bowl.
The other students who attended were Kendra Valdez, Adam Anderson, Matt Swanson, Dylan Paiton, Joe MacGillvray, Rebecca Vikers, Francisco Vigil, Shannon Fraley, Miquela Trujillo, Joe Lawson, Bushrah Hussain, Clay Thompson, Anselmo "Mo" Gallegos and Austin Silva.
The student conference targeted careers, linking employers with future engineers. The HENAAC organization promotes science, technology, engineering and math careers, especially in underserved communities.
Each team was coached by recruiters and executives from the sponsoring companies. Bushnell said working with professionals was an amazing experience.
He also said New Mexico Tech got plenty of visibility through the College Bowl and the other functions.
"During the college and career fair, a lot of us were recognized," Bushnell said. "Three of us got awards during the final dinner and that gave us good visibility too. I think it was pretty impressive since it was the first time New Mexico Tech has made an appearance at the HENAAC conference."
Bushrah Hossain, a biology major and an ASME member, said the conference was a rewarding experience in many ways. She was invited to several job interviews, which she said was a fulfilling experience.
"I think it was a really good decision to go," she said. "I think we should definitely try to go on a yearly basis. It's a good opportunity for students."
Hossain said New Mexico Tech's visibility during the awards ceremony can only help future students who attend HENAAC events.
"Getting those awards really showed that New Mexico Tech has a lot of really smart students with a lot of potential," she said. "I think that really will help our school to be recognized by company recruiters."

International Expert on Adaptive Optics to Give Public Lectureby George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., March 5, 2007 – An internationally renowned expert on adaptive optics will give a public lecture later this month on the New Mexico Tech campus, which explores the ways that adaptive optics has revolutionized image-capturing techniques and technologies in astronomy and other scientific disciplines.
Robert Q. Fugate, senior research advisor at New Mexico Tech, will speak on "Researching the Sky: The Revolution in Ground-Based Astronomy" at 2 p.m. on Friday, March 23, at the Joseph R. Skeen Library's Don & Rosie Tripp Conference Room.
The talk, which is free and open to the public, is co-sponsored by Skeen Library and the Rio Grande Chapter of the Special Libraries Association.
After a long career as a principal researcher and research director in the cutting-edge fields of adaptive optics and directed energy, Fugate joined the New Mexico Tech research community last year, when he retired from more than 35 years of federal civilian service with the U.S. Air Force.
As a highly esteemed member of the Air Force's scientific and professional cadre of senior executives, Fugate most recently served as technical director and senior scientist for atmospheric compensation at the Starfire Optical Range, a specialized research division of the Directed Energy Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque.
At the Starfire Optical Range, he was in charge of a research program on atmospheric propagation physics, which includes atmospheric compensation using laser-guided star adaptive optics and the acquisition, tracking, and pointing of lasers toward Earth-orbiting satellites.
The ongoing research program Fugate once headed continues to focus on the development and testing of sensors, instrumentation, and mount control of large-aperture, ground-based telescopes, such as the one currently in operation at New Mexico Tech's Magdalena Ridge Observatory.
Fugate is the recipient of numerous national awards, including the Air Force's Outstanding Civilian Career Service Award and the first-ever Distinguished Presidential Rank Award for Senior Professionals in the Air Force, putting him at the time in the top one percent of senior civilian executives in federal government. He also is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, and has written and published more than 100 invited articles, book chapters, and research papers.
In addition, Fugate has chaired and served on organizing committees for numerous research conferences on adaptive optics and directed energy topics.

If you are using mtables with variable abundances, then you will likely get totally unphysical results unless you note the following.
The mtable models are constructed using two kinds of parameters: interpolated parameters and additive parameters. Interpolated parameters are treated as one might expect: if the model is represented by a vector , corresponding to the model flux at various energies and stored at various values of the free (intepolated) parameter , then for a value of the parameter not on the tabulated grid xspec calculates the model value as
where are suitably chosen weights for, eg. linear interpolation. Ths is in contrast to the treatment of additive parameters: for an mtable, xspec needs the value of the model tabulated at only two values of the free additive parameter , 0 and . Then the model is calculated for some arbitrary as
i.e. it is assumed that the model scales linearly with the value of the additive parameter . This formalism was developed for emission models, where emissivities might be expected to scale linearly with elemental abundance. In the case of absorption models, the value of which xspec uses is a transmission coefficient, and this does not scale linearly with abundance. Rather, the transmission coefficient is related to the optical depth by:
and the optical depth does scale (approximately) linearly with abundance. For this reason, xspec has incorporated the etable models, in which the model builder supplies optical depths rather than transmission coefficient, linear interpolation is used to calculate the optical depth for a given abundance, and then the transmission coefficient is calculated using the above expression. The results:
(1) If you use an mtable calculated by xstar2xspec using varable abundances (i.e. any additive parameters allowed to vary) in xspec using the `model mtablexout_mtable.fits' command, you will get unphysical results. It is easy to see that if is non-zero (which it often is owing to 0 abundances) then you will never get deep absorption.
(2) If so, you should use the `model etablexout_mtable2.fits' command in xspec instead. Entering parameter, etc., in xspec is the same for etables as for mtables.
(3) BUT, the etable itself is supposed to be filled with optical depths, not transmission coefficients. The tables made by xstar2xspec are transmission coefficients, and they need to be converted. This is a simple transformation: replace the contents of every cell of the model extension of the mtable file () with -ln(). This can be done various ways. One way is to use the calculator inside of the ftools gui routine xv, one column at a time. This has been done for the various precalculated models on the website, and these are stored with the names xout_mtable2.fits.
Some Specific Examples, and a Discussion of the Analytic Model warmabs
When fitting to absorption spectra it is important to be aware of the inherent limitations of xstar when applied to the fitting of absorption. There are two distinct reasons for this: spectral resolution effects, and interpolation effects. In order to illustrate these effects, we reproduce here a discussion between TK and P. Oneill of Imperial College in which these questions are raised, and some of the issues are discussed.
I've been using some of the sample XSPEC models from the current version of XSTAR to model a warm absorber.
I've been using the grid18 models with the abundances fixed at their default values. I found that using the XSPEC model "mtablexout_mtable.fits*powerlaw" gave different results (less absorption) than when I used "etablexout_mtable_2.fits*powerlaw". I thought that these should provide the same results, so long as the abundances are not changed. Am I using these tables correctly, or is there perhaps a problem somewhere?
The problem is that variable abundances, they are treated as additive parameters in xspec tables, really can't be treated accurately using either type of table. If you use an mtable, then the transmittivity in a bin, i, at a given ionization parameter and column, is:
where is the 'zero abundance' version of the model at that ionization parameter and column, is the abundance of element j, and is the model calculated with that element set to unity (relative to cosmic). The first problem with this approach is that tranmission doesn't scale this way with abundance. If you double the abundance of an element, you should double the optical depth. Doubling the transmittivity has both the wrong qualitative and quantitative behavior. But an even bigger problem with this is that the whole thing, , multiplies your continuum. It is almost guaranteed to bigger than 1 if some of the are non-zero. So this is totally the wrong formulation to use when the abundances vary.
In the case of an etable the transmittivity is:
where etc.
This is better, since it predicts the correct dependence on abundance, i.e. that the optical depth scales approximately linearly with abundance.
But it is important to remember that what you are trying to simulate is a 'real' photoionized gas with some abundance set that fits your data. What you are using to fit to your data are , which in the case of xstar are models calculated with only hydrogen and helium, and the set of , which are supposed to be calculated with pure element j.
The first problem is that the cooling, and therefore the temperature, depends on the element abundance in the gas, and this is not linear. The temperature couples back into the ionization balance, and that affects the opacity, transmittivity, etc.
The second problem is that, while it is straightforward to calculate a model with no elements heavier than H and He, it is not straightforward to calculate a model with pure iron, or calcium, say. That's because H and He havs nice simple cooling properties at low temperature, and their opacity is simple, etc. Pure iron models at best are likely to be very different than H+He+Fe models, or from a cosmic mix. So what I do is make the using H+He+element j in cosmic ratios. But the problem with this is that then the opacity due to H and He are present in every , and , particularly at low ionization parameters. So if you sum over cosmic abundances using an etable you are including the H and He opacity with every one of the . At high ionization parameter (log(1?) this should not be a problem because H and He are ionized sufficiently that they do not contribute to the opacity. But at low ionization parameter, the model spectra calculated using etables will have significantly more low energy opacity due to the multiple counting of H and He than they would in a real xstar model with the corresponding parameters.
The strategy to use at low ionization parameters therefore is to use the etable to find a reasonably good fit to the spectrum with xspec, and then run xstar2xspec and make a very small table, i.e. just 1 column and 2 ionization parameters (xspec needs tables to have at least 2 entries), with constant abundances, set to the values which come from the fit. Constant abundance grids (such as grid19) when used as mtables do not suffer from any of these problems.
I attach 4 figures to illustrate these problems. All use the mtable or etable from grid18. All are plotted between 0.6 and 0.7 keV, power law continuum, index=1, norm=1, log()=1. The continuum level at .6 keV is 1.66.
Comparing these shows the big problem with mtables with variable abundances: they give a transmittivity which is 1. In this case, the transmittivity is 10.
Here again, the problem is that even the pure oxygen mtable has the transmittivity of the 'zero abundance' model, , which really has pure H and He and therefore has unit transmittivity. The line never can go black. The only model which is nearly correct is 3, but here again you have the problem of multiple counting of the H and He opacity. But at this high ionization parameter that is negligible. Anyway, I hope you understand the problem.
It is straightforward to use xstar2xspec to calculate grids without variable abundances. THEN you can use mtables, and there should be none of these problems.
I have made some comparisons between vturb=0 models and those with vturb=100. I find that vturb=0 gave very different results (much less absorption) to the vturb=100 grid18 etable. I hadn't expected to see the large difference with a change from vturb=100 to vturb=0. Is this expected behaviour?
vturb can make a significant difference in the results of xstar modeling of absorption spectra, and the reason is at least partially due to numerics. In calculating the energy dependent opacity Xstar simply evaluates the profile function for the line at each grid energy. So if the line width is less than, or comparable to, the xstar grid spacing, then maximum depth of a given absorption line in the mtable may be very different from the true depth at line center. Obviously this problem is more severe for small vturb, i.e. narrow lines. The total line equivalent width does not depend on vturb, but the numerics do not reflect that unless the line is broader than the grid resolution. And the limiting resolution is the internal xstar grid spacing, which corresponds to 420 km/s, since this is what is used in constructing the table. This is another flaw in the use of tables for fitting to spectra.
There is now subroutine which calculates xstar warm absorber (called 'warmabs') and warm emitter (called 'photemis') spectra and which can be called as an xspec `analytic' model. This calculates absorption spectra `on the fly', and so will evaluate the profile function on whatever grid you use in xspec. So you can choose to resolve all the lines if you want, using the 'dummyrsp' command with a very large number of bins. It is available on the xstar web site, look for the link under `XSTAR news'. It also does not suffer from the problems discussed previously about the approximations inherent in variable abundance. It calculates the opacity directly from a stored library of level populations calculated for a generic power law grid.
One drawback of this routine is that it brute-force calculates Voigt profiles and opacity for all the lines and bound-free continua which are above a certain threshold in strength, and so it is time-consuming. Currently calls to this routine can take up to 30 seconds on a slow or busy machine. It will be much faster on a faster machine, or if there are few elements with non-zero abundances, or if only a narrow spectral range is of interest, or if the ionization parameter is frozen.
Another drawback to this routine is that the current version assumes constant ionization throughout a slab of given ionization parameter and column. Real slabs will have lower mean ionization in the deeper, shielded regions, and this lower ionization material will absorb more efficiently. This means that the current warmabs assumption results in an underestimate of the opacity, particularly at low energies, for slabs with large column. This will be remedied in future versions of this routine.
Yet another issue which deserves mention is that of interpolation and grid spacing in the interpolated parameters as implemented by xspec. Many of the available xstar grids were calculated with models spaced 1 decade apart in column. This has the potential to lead to inaccuracies in the model spectrum calculated by xspec, since it will interpolate between grid points. Sparsely gridded models may miss important details. Grids 19b and 19c provide an example.
I have compared the grids with the warmabs analytical model. These are in firgure 5. 19c is the solid line, warmabs is the dashed line, and 19b is the dotted line. The model here is the same model that I used to fit the data using 19c (ie, it has 1.4e20 of wabs also). I hope you can get some info from this. The parameters used for these models were: log=1.27, N=5.89e22.
OK, so what I see from your plot comparing the models is that:
1) grid19b and grid19c give qualitatively different results near the best fit parameter values in the strength of the absorption near the K edge of oxygen. This seems to me to be clear evidence for the errors introduced by interpolation in a sparsely gridded table in column, as I suggested.
2) grid19c and warmabs agree well at energies above .8 keV, except for the lines. This seems to me to be a comforting check on the validity of warmabs.
3) there is disagreement in the strength of the absorption below 0.8 keV. We decided that the assumption of a constant ionization slab made in warmabs would tend to underestimate the absorption, since the ionization balance would be lower in the shielded parts of a real slab, hence more absorption. This is the sense of the disagreement, and so seems to make sense. Of course, there is still some interpolation involved in the use of grid19c, since your best fit values for N and are not precisely on the grid values. I have compared warmabs and grid19c for the nearest grid values, and the effect of interpolation does not appear to change the sense of the disagreement. So this is a strong argument for fixing up warmabs so that it does not make the uniform slab assumption.
4) There is also disagreement between grid19c and warmabs about the strength of the lines. I think this is due to the effect of energy binning: Your energy grid must be rather coarse, i.e.R=E/Delta(E) 100. If you make the same plot with a grid resolution of R=10000, things look better. I attach these plots: figure 6=warmabs, figure 7=grid19c. But there is still disagreement, and this I think is because the grid19c results have the intrinsic xstar internal resolution, which is much less than 10000, and so information is lost about the line profiles, while warmabs calculates the lines specifically for the resolution requested, and so should be more accurate.

BRADENTON, Fla. – Tommy Hunter had a solid outing the last time he took the mound Wednesday, but he was disappointed with his lack of command.
That wasn't a problem on Monday night, when Hunter absolutely breezed through six scoreless innings in the Orioles' 4-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Orioles' right-hander walked the first batter he faced on five pitches, then immediately picked up a double play and a three-pitch strikeout to get out of the first. He really wasn't in trouble again, which certainly helped his chances of making the club's rotation.
Hunter allowed just one hit – a two-out double by Neil Walker in the fourth – while striking out five. Hunter threw 70 pitches, 42 for strikes. He was so efficient that he had to throw another 15 pitches in the bullpen after his outing to get to his target of 85.
"It was definitely fun," said Hunter, who missed much of the exhibition season due to lower back discomfort. "This was baseball, going out for six innings and still having something left."
Former Oriole Erik Bedard matched Hunter for six scoreless innings, but the Orioles broke through against Bedard in the seventh. Mark Reynolds had a RBI single and later scored on an error by Pirates third baseman Pedro Alvarez. Bedard allowed seven hits and two runs (one earned) in six innings.
"Both pitchers looked like they were ready to start the season," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of Bedard and Hunter. "Tommy was good. Tommy had a good look in his face. Guys understand what time of year it is and what's going on. He was really focused tonight."
The Pirates scored an unearned run in the seventh against Jim Johnson, which was set up by a Matt Wieters' throwing error. Wieters got the run back in the eighth with a RBI single.
The Orioles added a fourth run in the ninth – again unearned – on a RBI single by Blake Davis. The Pirates attempted to rally in the ninth, with two on and two out, but Darren O'Day struck out Garrett Jones to end the game.
The Orioles improved to 10-9-5 for the spring.

In the old galleries under the Doss Trento, where the main road that goes around Trento once passed, there is now a museum dedicated to the history of Trentino.
In this picture you can see the so called "black gallery", where a multimedial exhibition is now held; the gallery contains also a collection of old objects about Trentino.
Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol consists of two provinces: Trento and Bolzano-Bozen. The region was part of Austria-Hungary (and its predecessor, the Austrian Empire) from 1815 until its annexation by Italy in 1919. Together with the Austrian state of Tyrol it is represented by the Euroregion Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino.More informations on Wikipedia

Ashes 2013: Australia can upset England - Matthew Hayden
- From the section Cricket
Former Australia batsman Matthew Hayden says the current team can beat England in this year's Ashes despite going into the series as underdogs.
Australia, beaten in the 2009 and 2011 Ashes series, suffered a 4-0 whitewash by India in March.
But Hayden told BBC Sport: "Australia are capable of anything when it comes to the Ashes.
"They have to be workmanlike, build pressure and be in a position to take England on."
Hayden, who played 103 Tests for Australia between 1994 and 2009, said much would depend on the fitness of England batsman Kevin Pietersen, who is battling to recover from a knee injury in time for the first Test at Trent Bridge on 10 July.
"For me he is the key player and would be a huge loss," said Hayden. "He has had longevity in the sport. He has played against Australia many times, has taken us on and has won."
Australia's mauling in India has left the team at arguably its lowest ebb since the mid-1980s, when they lost eight and won only two of 13 consecutive Test series before pulling off a shock 4-0 victory in the 1989 Ashes in England.
Their 16-man squad features only five players who have played an Ashes Test in England and lacks proven pedigree following the recent retirements of Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey and the ongoing struggle to replace stellar talents such as Hayden, Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Adam Gilchrist.
Following the India series, England all-rounder Ian Botham described captain Michael Clarke's unit as "the worst Australian team I can remember".
Hayden, however, thinks Australia's players are well suited to English conditions and will raise their games for the Ashes showdown with their oldest foes.
"England won't make the mistake of taking us for granted because we are a very talented nation of cricketers - we have a very good fast bowling unit and we are competitive," said Hayden, who won three of the four Ashes series he contested between 2001 and 2007.
"On form, England have a great chance of winning the Ashes but we are a very dangerous side and this is a big tournament for us," he said.
"We go there knowing that the Ashes series has a lot riding on it. It's something we talk about often in Australian cricket teams.
"It's always about this series for us as young cricketers so these guys will come dreaming of winning the Ashes."
Hayden urged Australia's players to learn from England's example in 2005, when a pace attack of Simon Jones, Matthew Hoggard, Andrew Flintoff and Steve Harmison drove the hosts to their first Ashes triumph in 18 years.
"Whether it is with bat, ball or in the field it is about building and developing sustained pressure through partnerships," Hayden said.
"We saw that through the successful Ashes series in 2005, with Flintoff, Hoggard and co developing really sustained periods of pressure in their bowling line-ups.
"They won the Ashes back on the strength of good, consistent team bowling efforts but to master simplicity is, obviously, very difficult."
Australia's tour of India was thrown into disarray when four players were suspended for failing to produce a presentation to team management.
Hayden believes publicity of the affair did Australia no favours and urged them to keep any issues in-house during the Ashes.
"If I was in the Australia cricket team right now I would be investing in the solid culture of the group, making sure that they stay really tight," he said.
"When they arrive in early June in England the tabloid media will be licking their chops at the thought of having kangaroo blood shed."

Friday, June 01, 2012 - Wank Party 2012 #6, Part 1
Kaja Kolomaz, Tomek Sirnad, Roman Ditrich, Albert Kroka and Radim Valovy are our featured models in Wank Party 2012 #6. Here we have part one, with the guys walking over the bridge to an island on the Vltava River, for some soccer practice. Having arrived at the pitch they remove their tee-shirts and set about some stretching exercises, led by Albert, before beginning their practice. In reality it is a short practice with a bit of a kick-about and then some practice at taking penalties. The guys then collect their shirts and go off for a refreshing shower. In the shower they wash themselves and each other, paying particular attention to the washing of the cock and balls. We get some great views of overhanging foreskins as the stand there with water running over the bodies. Then the guys collect their towels and move out of the shower area. Dressed in just the towels it seems that the guys have noticed something bulging under Radim's. They remove his towel, exposing a very stiff cock, which Roman wastes no time taking hold of and wanking. Kaja, Albert and Tomek remove their towels as Roman leans forward to kiss Radim as he wanks him. Roman then drops to his knees and begins to suck on Radim's big, hard cock. Meanwhile Kaja is playing with Tomek's dick too and grabbing for Alberts. Soon the three of them are hard and Kaja sits on the bench so that he can suck on Tomek's cock, with Roman continuing to work on Radim's. Then Kaja turns so that he can suck on Albert as well. Radim wants to taste cock too and goes down on Roman. Kaja's cock is standing at full attention as he sucks Tomek and Albert in turn. Kaja and Radim both do a great job of sucking their friends, with Albert and Tomek kissing each other. Then Tomek moves so that Roman can suck his big, hard cock and Radim moves to join Albert and Kaja. Albert lays down on the bench, so that Kaja can suck him and he can take Radim's cock in his mouth at the same time. Very soon Kaja climbs over Albert and they begin to 69. Kaja's ass is nicely presented to Radim, which he eagerly starts to finger. Roman pends over and has his hole teased by Tomek's throbbing oock. But Tomek isn't ready to fuck yet, instead he starts to rim Roman's willing hole. Radim's finger is working well to loosen Kaja's hot hole so, as we leave the guys at the end of part 1, things have progressed very well and they are ready for more, in part 2.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
We sent Rudy Bodlak out on the streets to see what he could find. He interviews some guys, to find out their views on doing sex for money, and to see if maybe they will go with him. He doesn't have much luck until he encounters Anton Malac, who after much discussion goes off with him. Rudy takes Anton in search of somewhere quiet so that he can get him to show his body. When they have found somewhere Anton is persuaded to drop his pants, for money. So we get to see him in his undies. After ensuring that he has the money in his hand Anton takes his undies down and shows a very nice cock. Rudy wants to push him further and suggests that maybe he be allowed to touch that cock. Anton eventually agrees, but tells him to be quick. Rudy feels that cock and begins to wank it, with no complaints. He then suggests that he kiss it. This he does, and begins to suck on Anton's cock, getting it nice and hard. After sucking a while he persuades Anton to reciprocate. Rudy's cock is nice and hard and Anton goes down on it, sucking the head into his mouth. He certainly sucks it well, making Rudy feel so good. Things are going very well so Rudy pushes for the final step. He wants to fuck Anton and has little problem persuading him. Rudy slides his dick into Anton's ass and fucks him nice and hard. Anton seems to be enjoying that cock and soon he is sitting on it and riding it, working his ass up and down over the shaft. Rudy is soon ready to blow his load and Anton opens his mouth to take that load and suck the cock dry. What a great scene, out in the open with both guys very good indeed.

I guess the year is half over. Hard to believe, isn't it. We'd been enjoying some near perfect weather. But the mad monk flew in from the other side of the pond on his broomstick, bring a full night of rain last night, and quite chilly temperatures this morning. As the day has worn on, the clouds have burned off, and it's quite comfortable now. The Monk will be performing some of his signature spankings the coming week, starting this afternoon.
Yesterday, I saw poor Franky loaded down with some heavy take away food for Boris and Miro. I told Miro, 'it's not nice to make Franky into your personal slave.' When I ran into him half an hour ago, Miro said, 'that's what he is, my slave.' I highly, highly recommend Miro as a subject for a MM licking. Might teach him a thing or two.
Today, we publish Part One of our June Wank Party. I'd determined to post three Sneak Peeks. But it's such good one, I've thrown in a bonus. Take a look. I'll present the final First Look next week.
Also, today, I want to repeat, I love, love the erotic solo of Viktor Manda. Viktor is a big ol' Slovak 'Boy Next Door.' Miro stuck the magic vibrator up his bumper chute, and a few pumps and strokes later, Viktor got that glazed eye, 'duh' look on his face and it was onto glory. I'm really trying to get him back for more. Only time will tell.
With the first day of June comes part one of Wank Party 2012 #6 with Tomek Sirnad, Roman Ditrich, Kaja Molomaz, Albert Kroka and Radim Valovy. We also have Viktor Manda's erotic video, Dmitry Karnik's erotic video and Gregor Pacon's session stills.
We also have three good guys in castings today, Marek Kontar, Rado Cemus and Michal Furis. All look very good, in their different ways, so picking the best is a very difficult task.

Ladakh – Of Poetic Panoramas
Posted by Pensive Polaroid in Tales from Travels on August 19, 2011
Ladakh, a land where Nature takes charge, dabbing its emotions with strokes of beauty and uncertainty, in a metric expressing of it's gallantry in the chilling winds, impregnable majesty in the mountains, oft flirting with safety in the narrow ornamental winding paths adorning the rise of her dun bosom, and oft being a haven in its cradle of immovable cliffs . With rivers gently caressing the land, deserts amidst snow capped mountains and a vivid biodiversity, Ladakh is a treat to the inquisitive soul, and is at once humbling and overwhelming, educing poetry out of expressions of enthralment and stunned silence in the admiration of tangible metaphors of infinity and eternal magnificence.
In my insignificant attempt to bring her beautiful visage through the brunt of space and time, I present with utmost humility a series of panoramas I stitched which act as my reminiscence. I invoke the words of great Bards, for my own cannot carry the multitude of emotions that would deem fit such a demanding muse.
Cloud Connected
(Ladakh is an intense drama with clouds as the prime dramatis persona.)
"Full many a glorious morning have I seen,
Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye.
Kissing with golden face the meadows green,
Gilding plain streams with heavenly alchemy."
– Sonnet 33 : Shakespeare
The ever changing textures and contours of a dense cloud cover could put Rorschach's name to the test. It's a beauteous sight, beholding the swirling ocean of clouds crashing against the mountains. The journey to and from Ladakh, too, is an experience of sorts, where the aircraft takes you over this Valhalla.
A tryst with tranquility
(Traditions mark the lives of people in Ladakh. This one in particular is a fish pool where passersby drop crumbled comestibles for their Piscean pals )
"So are you to my thoughts as food to life,
Or as sweet-season'd showers are to the ground;
And for the peace of you I hold such strife
As 'twixt a miser and his wealth is found."
– Sonnet 75 : Shakespeare
There are few occasions in life where one can stand still and wander, gathering their thoughts and trying to fathom the immensity within and its worthy opponent beyond. Were it not for the six foot fence that stood between me and this landscape, I might have drifted into an oblivion of time.
Mackenna's Cold
(A view of Khardung La Pass, the highest motorable road on Earth. It stands at a chilling 18,300 feet above sea level and is freezing in broad daylight.)
"I think I've seen enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice."
– Fire and Ice : Robert Frost
It takes the most audacious of drivers the most enduring of vehicles and a handsome amount of time to meander their way along the hairpin bends and muddy paths, with frozen puddles all along and chunks of ice, renounced by the snow caps, jarring the narrow roads to travel from Leh to Khardung La. Setting foot outside at the highest junction drenches you in a sub zero barber. The sight translates to Gregory Peck and Omar Sharif's classic Mackenna's Gold, only that the gold here is glittering ice all around.
The Nubra Valley
(The Nubra Valley is a mountain desert, at the heart of snow capped mountains, close to the Disket monastery)
"Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favour fire."
– Robert Frost
To start off with a disambiguation, I apologize for having invoked the latter half of Frost's verse preceding the preamble, for the previous photograph. If it serves the purpose of defence, then it was inevitable because you have to pass through Khardung La before you reach Nubra, the desert land. And I had to profane the continuity of either. Nubra, with its dunes demurred in their pallid manifestation by the snow capping the mountains around, alone, is the holy grail to a five hour journey, snaking through the mountains and cliffs. A ride to the heart of the desert gives a breathtaking view of a divine elemental union, with the temperature rising with every footfall of the enduring Bactrian Camel. It is the first stop in hours before you behold the humbling Future Buddha statue in Disket Monastery.
Lonely Planet
(Another sprawling view of the mountains and cloudscape along the roads of Leh.)
"Anon permit the basest clouds to ride
With ugly rack on his celestial face,
And from the forlorn world his visage hide,
Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace."
– Sonnet 33 : Shakespeare
The clouds cast a westward shadow over the rocky terrain, with a gentle rivulet ambling down the valley. The play of bright sunlight and shade is a frivolous daytime activity, as the misty shoulders of the mountains tend to beckon with a divine charm to them.
The Indus-Zanskar Confluence
(The junction of the Indus and Zanskar rivers, Indus Valley)
Beyond the magnetic hills, the valleys open up to an amazing sight where the two great rivers unite. Their names emblazoned in the deciduous ink of school texts have a frail presence in one's memory always, and seeing them in their might only immortalizes their essence. The rivers freeze in the winters drawing adventure tourists to test their calm against the cold stare of a siberian solid.
The road not taken
(This is a photograph I had waited to shoot for long. The vanishing road without a sign of movement upon it, flanked by a barren landscape on either side was too tempting for me to consider not stopping.)
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both,
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could."
– Robert Frost
It was too perfect a sight, the etude of the clouds' harmony to a gaping audience of mountains and rocks as I stood on the concrete aisle of this divine orchestration. Robert Frost's words could to me not find a better simile than that stood facing me. As a memento, I shot 22 photographs which were stitched into this panorama, for the journey must go on…
(The Indus Valley)
"For since each hand hath put on Nature's power,
Fairing the foul with Art's false borrowed face,
Sweet beauty hath no name, no holy bower,
But is profaned, if not lives in disgrace."
– Sonnet 127 : Shakespeare
I waited for the group of tourists to quench their thirst of posing with the timeless, the infinite, an act preposterous for the unfound superimposition of what is not to stay with what shall not succumb to the ghastly march of time. The immaterial viz-a-vis the immemorial. But perhaps that is the joy of being. How light does not distinguish by the yardstick of a time scale. This shot was inspired a lot by the works of the legendary Magnum photographer Ansel Adams, and I tried a monotone rendition of the landscape.
Leh, Chanspa from Shanti Stupa
(This was actually the very first panorama I shot, from the balcony of the Shanti Stupa. The winds were too strong and too cold for me to maintain a steady hand, but this is the best I could.)
The end of this journey was more of a beginning. As I discovered myself more than I did the pristine beauty of Ladakh. It is amusing how just a slight elevation in altitude, negligible to the planet as a whole, a hostile drop in temperature and a fractal landscape of mountains is all it takes Nature to come up with to thwart the all complacent progress of man at the cost of her sanctity. It is but a reflection of one's physical mortality, albeit the spiritual ascension at this altar of immaculate confluence of Nature's forces. A memento mori. And yet the all providing mother doesn't mean to intimidate alone, for in the immensity also lies her beauty, a vibrant variation of divine artistry in the geology, skies, lakes and landforms. It is, if anything, overwhelming.
But my spirit is free
"So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."
– Sonnet 18 : Shakespeare
For more photographs from the trip, I invite you to see my album "Live Ladakh" on Facebook. This being my first post here, I'd be glad to have you share this and leave your opinion on.
I shall take my leave of you, as of now. Will get back to penning down the remnant of the journey soon enough. Here's a message to see you off with from Ladakh.
Om Mani Padme Hum
Until then.
– Siddhartha

- "Should you grow weary of Xaro's baubles and trinkets it would be an honor to host you at the House of the Undying."
- ―Pyat Pree to Daenerys Targaryen
The House of the Undying is a location in Qarth. It is the headquarters of the Warlocks of Qarth. It is a large tower without any visible openings and surrounded by trees which are used to make Shade of the evening.
Season 2
Daenerys, Ser Jorah Mormont and Kovarro reach the House of the Undying. While trying to figure out a way inside, Jorah loses sight of Dany. She enters inside and with a flamed torch begins her search for her dragons. She finds herself in an illusion of the charred remains Great Hall of the Red Keep, covered in ashes; then she finds herself in another illusion in which she emerges from the Wall in a snowy storm and then enters a tent where she meets with Drogo and their son Rhaego. Aware of the illusion, she leaves and finds herself in a room with her chained dragons, and soon Pyat Pree chains Daenerys up as well. The warlock states that he intends to keep her prisoner forever. However, as the dragons are not muzzled, they are able to burn Pree to death at Daenerys' command.[1]
Season 8
After the Battle of King's Landing, Daenerys enters the throne room and sees that this reminds her of what she saw in the House of the Undying years ago. The vision showed that Daenerys would indeed win the Iron Throne, but she would never sit on it. Because her nephew Jon Snow, son of her late brother Rhaegar, reluctantly assassinates her after it's clear that she has succumbed to the infamous "Targaryen madness" and she would "liberate" the entire world by killing all of those in power and then rule over it all.[2]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the House of the Undying is the abode of the Undying Ones, the leaders of the Qartheen warlocks. It is described as a grey, ancient ruin, is long and low, with no towers or windows. It is coiled like a stone serpent through a grove of black-barked trees with inky blue leaves which are used to make Shade of the evening.
Daenerys saw no vision of Drogo and their son. She saw many visions, some of them of the past, others are presumed to be foreshadowing of future events:
- A beautiful, naked woman being ravished by four of the dwarves who serve the house.
- A little girl (presumably Daenerys herself) runs barefoot toward a big house with a red door - Daenerys's childhood home in Braavos.
- A throne room with dragon skulls on the walls, where an old man in rich robes with dark eyes and long silver-grey hair (presumably her father, the Mad King) sits on a barbed throne and appears to give the order to burn the Red Keep during the Sack of King's Landing.
- A room where a silver-haired man, who resembles Viserys but is taller and his eyes are a dark indigo rather than lilac (presumably Rhaegar Targaryen) talks to a woman nursing a baby, names the baby Aegon, saying the child is "the prince that was promised" and "The dragon has three heads", then plays a harp.
- A splendor of wizards who claim to be the Undying of Qarth and offer to teach Daenerys the secret speech of dragonkind. These are just a glamour of the Undying to hide their true visages.
- Viserys screams as the molten gold runs down his cheeks and fills his mouth.
- A tall lord with copper skin and silver-gold hair stands beneath the banner of a fiery stallion, a burning city behind him. This may be a glimpse at what Rhaego's future would have been, had he lived.
- Rubies fly like drops of blood from the chest of a dying prince (presumably Rhaegar Targaryen), and he sinks to his knees in the water and with his last breath murmuring a woman's name.
- A feast of slaughtered corpses holding cups, spoons, and food, with a dead man with a wolf's head sitting on a throne wearing an iron crown. Daenerys and readers were led to assume that this vision was symbolic, but it turned out to be literally true and foreshadowing the Red Wedding: with the Northern leadership slaughtered by their own hosts at a wedding feast, and an actual direwolf's head sewn onto Robb Stark's corpse as a final desecration.
- A red sword glowing like sunset, raised in the hand of a blue-eyed king who casts no shadow (perhaps Stannis Baratheon).
- A cloth dragon sways on poles amidst a cheering crowd.
- From a smoking tower, a great stone beast takes wing, breathing shadow fire.
- Daenerys's silver mare trotting through the grass, to a darkling stream beneath a sea of stars.
- A corpse stands at the prow of a ship, eyes bright in his dead face, grey lips smiling sadly.
- A blue flower grows from a chink in a wall of ice, and fills the air with sweetness (perhaps implying Jon Snow's true parentage).
- Mirri Maz Duur shrieks in the flames, a dragon bursting from her brow.
- A bloody corpse of a naked man, bouncing and being dragged behind a silver horse.
- A white lion runs through grass taller than a man.
- Beneath the Mother of Mountains, a line of naked crones creep from a great lake and kneel shivering before her, their grey heads bowed.
- Ten thousand slaves lift bloodstained hands as Daenerys races by on her silver, crying "Mother, mother!", reaching for her, touching her. This is a foreshadowing of the liberation of the slaves of Yunkai, also seen in the final scene of "Mhysa".
The Undying told Daenerys obscure prophecies:
- Three fires must you light, one for life and one for death and one to love.
- Three mounts must you ride, one to bed and one to dread and one to love.
- Three treasons will you know, once for blood and once for gold and once for love.
Following the visions, the Undying Ones suddenly attacked Daenerys. Drogon saved her by setting the room on fire and attacking the Undying, ripping their rotten flesh apart. Daenerys and Drogon escaped from the burning house. Pyat Pree was angry at Daenerys for burning the palace. He drew a knife and charged at her, but was stopped by Drogon, Jhogo and Rakharo.
Although Daenerys defeated the Undying Ones, soon she learned that as a result of burning the palace, the whole city has grown hostile to her overnight. Pyat Pree gathered the surviving warlocks together to work ill on her. Thus she had to leave Qarth.

When a SQL Server job fails, you can have SQL Server Agent send you a notification. However, as Figure 1 shows, the notification doesn't include the error message generated by that job failure. So, you have to connect to SQL Server to read the error message to determine whether the failure is being caused by a critical problem.
Because it's helpful to receive the error messages generated by failed jobs, I created a SQL Server job step that calls a stored procedure named spDBA_job_notification. The job step passes the failed job's ID to the stored procedure. The stored procedure uses the job ID to query the msdb agent tables for the most recent error message for that job. The stored procedure incorporates the error message into an email and sends the email to the specified person. Figure 2 shows an example of an email sent by the stored procedure.
To pass the job ID to the stored procedure from within the job, I use a SQL Server Agent token. SQL Server Agent lets you use tokens in T-SQL job step scripts. In SQL Server, various tokens represent job elements. For example, the SRVR token represents the server running SQL Server, the A-DBN token represents the name of the database running the job, and the JOBID token represents the job ID. (For a complete list of tokens, see the "Using Tokens in Job Steps" section in SQL Server 2005 Books Online—BOL.) When you insert a token in a job step script, SQL Server Agent replaces the token with the element it represents at run time.
You set up job steps in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Open SSMS, expand SQL Server Agent (it must be running), then expand Jobs. Right-click the target job and select Properties. In the Job Properties dialog box, select Steps from the Select a page menu on the left. Figure 3 shows an example of the Job step list section that appears.
In Figure 3, note that there are two steps. In step 1, the job is run. In this case, the job is a T-SQL script named Simple select. (You can download SQLJob_Create.sql, which will create this test job, from the SQL Server Magazine Web site.) When the Simple select script runs without any problems, a completion status of success is logged. When the Simple select script encounters a problem that causes it to fail, step 2 executes.
Figure 4 shows an example of the settings for step 2. Because the spDBA_job_notification stored procedure resides in the master database, the Database dropdown list is set to master. If you're running SQL Server 2005 SP1 or later, the command for step 2 is
EXEC spDBA_job_notification $(ESCAPE_NONE(JOBID))
If you're running a version earlier than SQL Server 2005 SP1, the command is
EXEC spDBA_job_ notification \[JOBID\]
This command calls the spDBA_job_notification stored procedure. The SQL Server Agent engine replaces the $(ESCAPE_NONE (JOBID)) or \[JOBID\] token with the job ID before executing the stored procedure. You can download spDBA_ job_notification.sql from the SQL Server Magazine Web site. To use this script, you need to have Database Mail set up. If it isn't set up, you can do so with DBMail_Setup.sql, which you can also download from the SQL Server Magazine Web site.
If you were to manually supply the job ID and execute spDBA_job_notification, the stored procedure wouldn't work. The stored procedure must be called from within a job step because it checks for the most recent job history without a completion status. When you run it in SSMS, the job is already completed and has a status of either success or failure.
If someone were to make changes to the stored procedure that would cause it to fail or if someone were to comment out the email section in the code, you wouldn't receive any notifications. For this reason, I highly recommend you also set up the job's Notifications page as a backup measure so that you get notified of job failures. You can access the Notifications page from the Job Properties dialog box.

Fun with Car hoods (Sled) and ATVs
This was a while back, Me and a friend decided to tow a car hood behind a ATV. good times. We had some real fun times, this is one of the few we got on video!
Forgive the terrible angle and lack of quality. This was long before there was cheap Wide angle cameras like drift, gopro, contour, etc.
We attached my Canon digital camera to the side of my helmet.

One night in early 1976, the world of trauma medicine changed forever in a frozen Nebraska field where Dr. James Styner crashed his small airplane with his wife and four children aboard. The experience of the eight hours he spent isolated and awaiting rescue that never came, his journey to the local hospital where he found inadequate care, and his family's evacuation and arrival at the sanctity of Lincoln General Hospital compelled him to develop a revolutionary new concept of emergency medical care. That night Advanced Trauma Life Support was born, and grew to become the standard of emergency trauma care throughout the world. Today it continues to save countless lives and it continues to grow. This is the story of ATLS and that tragic night for the Styner family, but it is also the story of the author's personal journey to find the truth about the accident that not only took the life of his mother, but nearly took his - and how doing so was one of the most important...
