Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are obstructive membranes that develop in the urethra (tube that drains urine from the bladder), close to the bladder. The valve can obstruct or block
View Large
Posterior Urethral
Valves Illustration the outflow of urine through the urethra. When this occurs, the bladder, ureters and kidneys become progressively dilated, which can lead to damage. The degree of urinary-outflow obstruction will determine the severity of the urinary tract problems.
PUV are thought to develop in the early stages of fetal development. The abnormality affects only male infants and occurs in about 1 in 8,000 births. This disorder is usually sporadic (occurs by chance). However, some cases have been seen in twins and siblings, suggesting a genetic component.
PUV occur in varying degrees from mild to severe. Due to increased use of prenatal imaging, PUV may be identified before any symptoms are present. If any dilation (hydronephrosis) is identified, the baby will be monitored throughout the pregnancy and after birth. Once the baby is born, further imaging studies will confirm the diagnosis.
Children who are diagnosed later may have the following signs or symptoms that require treatment:
We use voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) to diagnose PUV. During this test, a catheter (tube) is placed through your child's urethra into the bladder. The tube will be used to slowly fill the bladder with a solution called contrast. While the bladder is being filled, a special machine (fluoroscopy) is used to take pictures. The radiologist looks to see if any of the contrast goes back up into the kidneys. This study is used to diagnose vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Additional pictures are taken while your child is urinating. The radiologist will look at the urethra while urine is passing to identify the blockage (PUV).
We will also look at your child's kidneys and bladder with a renal bladder ultrasound (RBUS). This procedure uses sound waves to outline the kidneys and bladder. It will enable us to see the degree of hydronephrosis and the shape of the bladder.
We may also order blood tests to check how well the kidneys are functioning.
Treatment for PUV depends on the severity of the condition, your child's age, bladder and kidney status. The surgical goal is to preserve kidney and bladder function.
After successful bladder drainage, either by the valve abilation or vesicostomy, we will continue to monitor your child's condition throughout his childhood and adolescence. We will need to assess the kidney function, watch for kidney growth and see how your child does through toilet training. Some children need ultrasounds every year while others may benefit from medications and additional surgeries. Our team will work with you and your family to tailor a plan based on your child's condition.
Visit the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment (CFDT) to learn more about lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) and watch our LUTO video on how our Urology and CFDT teams collaborate to provide accurate diagnosis before birth and expert evaluation and treatment after birth.

What will I learn?
The programme features architecture of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Rather than focussing on the work of individuals, stylistic classification or normative categories, the programme locates architecture within social, ideological, creative, political and urban processes, exploring the boundaries of what might be regarded as legitimate architectural objects of study.
Why should I study this degree at UCL?
The UCL Bartlett is the UK's largest multi-disciplinary Faculty of the Built Environment, bringing together scientific and professional specialisms required to research, understand, design, construct and operate the buildings and urban environments of the future.
Located in London, it is at the heart of a large cluster of creative architects and engineering firms and has all the resources of a world city to hand.
This MA is the UK's longest established programme in its field, and prioritises the exploration of new and existing methodologies and critical theories as they might be applied to the study of architecture and cities.
Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits. The programme consists of two core modules (60 credits), two optional modules (60 credits) and a report (60 credits).
A Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits, full-time nine months) is offered.
Core Modules
All MA students undertake an independent research project which culminates in a 10,000-word report and an oral examination.
Teaching and Learning
The programme is delivered through a combination of seminars, lectures, building and gallery visits, video and film screenings, group working and one-to-one tutorials. Assessment is through coursework, consisting of short exercises, classroom presentations, and longer essays for individual modules, a 10,000-word report and oral examination, and verbal presentations.

This topic introduces three security features that work together to control user access to sites and content on sites, and what level of access you have to have yourself in order to work with those features.
Note This article is designed to provide a conceptual overview to the elements that make up permissions. For a step-by-step walkthrough of how to change permissions settings for your site, see Roadmap: Grant permissions for a site. For a step-by-step guide to how to set permissions for a list, library, or item, see Edit permissions for a list, library, or individual item.
Three features—security groups, permission levels, and permissions inheritance—interact behind the scenes to determine what sites and content people can see and use. Collectively, they are referred to as permissions settings.
If you work on a site, you are working inside a site collection. Every site exists within a site collection, which is simply a group of sites and content that are located under a single top-level site.
A site collections' initial permissions settings are created by the site collection administrator. By default, the settings that the administrator sets for the site collection apply to all the collections sites and sub-sites. Most sites have one or more site owners who can change the settings established by the site collection administrator.
Here is an illustration of a site collection, along with the types of sites and content that a site collection might contain.
A site collection administrator determines initial permissions settings for the whole site collection. All the sub-sites and content in a collection inherit the permissions settings that the site collection administrator chooses for the top-level site.
If you are a site collection administrator, this means the following:
If you are a site owner, or are responsible for restricting access to a specific item of content, you can work with the permissions settings for your sites to customize the permissions settings for your area.
To learn more, see Plan your permissions strategy.
At the most basic level, you manage permissions settings by granting or restricting user access. This is true for many different roles, whether you are a site collection administrator, a site owner, or just someone who works with a single document. To grant user access, you work with three interrelated features:
The best place to start is with security groups. In most circumstances, you can do everything you need to do about controlling access simply by working with security groups. Permission levels and permission inheritance run smoothly behind the scenes.
A security group is a collection of people—known as users—who all need to perform similar types of tasks on your site. For example, some people might only need to see information on your site, while another group might need to edit it, as well.
Groups give you the power to control access to sites for many people at once.
Here are some examples of tasks that the users of a site might have to perform:
You can organize these users into the default SharePoint groups to group them by the kinds of tasks that they will have to perform on the site. To learn how to work with SharePoint groups, see Manage membership of SharePoint groups.
Security groups can be composed of many individual users, can hold a single Windows security group, or can be some combination of the two.
You can organize users into any number of groups, depending on the size and complexity of your organization or Web site. Groups are created and managed at the site collection level.
Top of Page
The most frequently used default groups on a site are the following:
These groups help you easily sort people who will use your site in similar ways. Some people just have to review content on the site, other people have to edit content, and some have to add or edit elements of the site itself.
Or, as shown in the following illustration, you could assign people to groups as follows:
The permission levels that are assigned to a group make sure that group members have the access to the sites and content that they need.
Each default security group is assigned a default permission level, but you can also create new groups or assign different permission levels for any existing group.
Note You can create SharePoint groups from Windows security groups, but not from distribution groups, also known as distribution lists.
Anyone assigned to a permission level that includes the Create Groups permission, which is included in the Full Control permission level by default, can create custom SharePoint groups.
For information about working with the security and distribution groups that are included in Active Directory Domain Services, see Choose security groups (SharePoint Server 2010).
Security groups are assigned permission levels. Permissions levels are combinations of tasks that people need to be able to perform on your site, such as "view pages on the site," and "view items in a list"; or, "create a list," or "add an item to a list."
By grouping commonly associated tasks into permission levels, you can grant security groups permissions to perform many tasks on a site or content item at once.
A permission is the right that you can grant to a person to do something on your site: to view, create, delete, or edit something. You might grant permissions for a person to work with a list, or a library, or a sub-site, for example.
You never grant a single permission to a group or a person – instead, you assign permission levels, which are combinations, or sets, of permissions.
There are three kinds of permissions:
Permissions levels are combinations of individual permissions.
In the same way that people are grouped into security groups by the kinds of tasks they need to perform, individual permissions are grouped into permission levels designed to suit the security groups – that is, the people -- who will need to use them
For example, the Full Control permission level is designed for people who need to manage the site itself, so it includes the greatest number of site permissions. People will the Full Control permission level can perform tasks on the structure and components of the site itself, including granting permissions, as well as performing all the tasks associated with lists, libraries, and items.
All the default security groups (such as Visitor, Member, and Owner) are assigned default permission levels (such as Read, Contribute, and Full Control). That is, each group of people is granted access to specific toolsets that are appropriate to the tasks they need to perform.
The most commonly used default permission levels are designed to build on one another:
To see the permission levels assigned to groups for your site:
On the permissions page, you can see descriptions of each permission level.
The Permission Levels page opens, with a description of each Permission level and a link for editing the permission level.
To see which individual permissions are included in that permission level:
If the default permission levels don't have what you need, you can create your own permission levels.
By default, sites and content inherit groups and permission levels from the site above them in the site hierarchy—from their parent site. Permissions inheritance gives you the power to manage all your permissions for a site and all its sub-sites and all the content on it and its sub-sites, from one place—the top site—quickly and efficiently.
Take advantage of permissions inheritance to make changes to your entire site in one place and have them ripple through to all the people who use it and the content they use.
SharePoint sites are constructed in hierarchies, with a parent at the top.
In a SharePoint site collection, all sites and content under a parent inherit permissions from that parent – that is, everything under the parent uses the same user groups and permission levels that the parent does, unless you specifically change them:
You can give any item – whether it's a subsite, a library, a folder in the library, or a document in the folder – any item at any level in the whole hierarchy -- its own unique permissions: this is called breaking inheritance.
For ease of maintenance and administration, we recommend breaking inheritance as rarely as possible. Often this just means organizing your site in such a way that all sensitive material is located in the same place. Then you can break inheritance once, for that specific site or library, rather than having individual documents scattered through various sites or libraries with unique permissions that you have to maintain and keep track of.
When you break the inheritance from the parent, the item with the new, unique permissions at first has a copy of the parent's permissions, which you can edit. No change you make to the item with the broken inheritance affects the parent.
Permissions inheritance means that managing permissions of a parent site affects not only the parent site, but all subsites that inherit from the parent site, so it is important to carefully consider any changes to permission levels.
Caution Owners of subsites that inherit permissions from the parent site can edit the permissions of the parent. Ensure that any changes you make to the permissions on the parent site are appropriate for the parent site, and for all the subsites that inherit those permissions.
In some cases, your site might contain content that only certain people or groups should be allowed to access. For example, if you have a list on your site that contains sensitive data, you might want to restrict who can see it.
To do this, you break permissions inheritance, and then edit permissions for the content on its own permissions page.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to restrict access, see Edit permissions for a list, library, or individual item.

TSN and the award-winning sports video game developer Electronic Arts Inc. have once again teamed up exclusively to raise awareness and fan participation for the second-annual EA Sports NHL Cover Vote – where fans are given the chance to decide which NHL player will appear on the front cover of the game, NHL 14. The official voting for this year's NHL 14 Cover Vote resides on NHL.com/CoverVote.
As part of the partnership, TSN's slate of hockey news programs including That's Hockey, That's Hockey 2Nite, and NHL on TSN will integrate NHL 14 Cover Vote content through to the completion of the voting in June. Original branded content on TSN platforms includes updates on voting from TSN's hockey hosts and experts.
The NHL 14 Cover Vote will also be promoted prominently on TSN's official accounts on Facebook and on Twitter using the hashtag #NHL14Cover.
"We're extremely excited to be able to bring the EA SPORTS NHL Cover Vote campaign back to TSN," said David Le, Marketing Director, EA Sports. "It was a great partnership last year, and we're excited to once again be working with the recognized leader in Canadian sports broadcasting."
"TSN is very excited to be continuing our exclusive partnership with EA Sports for the promotion of the NHL 14 Cover Vote," said Nathalie Cook, Vice-President, Integrated Marketing and Partnerships, TSN. "We look forward to building on the success of last year's campaign and engaging fans and NHL players alike across all of our platforms, at a time when hockey is making headlines across the country."
The NHL 14 Cover Vote began with 60 NHL players and pitted teammate against teammate for the opportunity to represent their team on the ballot. The top vote-getter for each team (30 in total), plus two wild-card players, advanced to Round 2, which kicked off on April 29 and ended on May 5. The 16 players advancing to Round 3 will then compete in a Stanley Cup Playoffs-inspired single-elimination bracket from May 6-June 2.
Fans can visit NHL.com/CoverVote to participate in the NHL 14 Cover Vote and vote for their favourite player. Voting throughout the NHL 14 Cover Vote is unlimited.
In its inaugural year, the EA Sports NHL 13 Cover Vote campaign generated more than 25 million fan votes, culminating with Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux landing on the NHL 13 cover.

Nike Air Max 1 SP "Great Ones"
October 10th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 13 comments
It appears that that carbon fiber/speckle treatment seen on the Nike Air Force 1 Low won't be sticking to just that sneaker. Shown here is a Nike Air Max 1 SP that also has that look attached, the colorway this time being touted as part of a "Great Ones" pack. If that name is indeed accurate, what other pairs could possible fall into the range? An Air Jordan 1 perhaps? We're pretty sure the Nike Lunar Flyknit1+ couldn't fit thanks to the carbon fiber touches. See the full shoe after the break and check back in with us for more info on this interesting Air Max 1 as soon as it becomes available.

El Paso, TX (KDBC) — On Monday afternoon, a jury sentenced twenty-three year old Lorraine Merjil to 15 years in prison for injuring her young daughter back in 2011.
"We don't think that this is a fair verdict, but we do respect verdicts and the jury said what they had to say," said Omar Carmona, Merjil's defense attorney.
Merjil was accused of beating her 20-month daughter Desiree to death, and then lying several times about how her daughter was injured.
A close friend of Merjil's, who was in court for the sentencing, painted a different picture of her.
"She loved her daughter, her daughter was everything to her. Everywhere she went, she used to spoil her so much, she was her world," said Alysacia Blair, "She's the most giving, nice, kind, sweet, innocent - like, she wouldn't, she wouldn't even touch a fly."
Merjil originally faced capital murder charges but was ultimately convicted of a lesser charge, 'injury to a child,' last week.
Her attorneys argued it wasn't her who beat young Desiree, but rather, Merjil's now ex-boyfriend, Jorge Sanchez - both were in the home at the time.
In January, Sanchez was sentenced to 10 years of probation for knowing about Merjil abusing her daughter.
"The jury did vindicated our client when they rendered their verdict that she was not responsible, I mean, that she did not commit the murder. And we still believe that," said Carmona.
Merjil's loved ones cried silently in the audience as the jury read her punishment.
Once out of the courtroom, Merjil's mother sobbed uncontrollably.
The twenty-three year old was taken into custody immediately after her sentencing, and will be eligible for parole.

This 2013 Theodore Roosevelt Presidential $1 Coin 500-Coin Box is comprised of 500 coins – 20 rolls of 25 circulating quality coins minted at the United States Mint at Denver that have never been placed into circulation.
These coins' designs display large, dramatic artwork and edge-incused inscriptions of the year, E PLURIBUS UNUM and the mint mark. Each coin features a likeness of Roosevelt and has a common reverse design featuring a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty.
The design inscriptions on the obverse (heads side) of the 2013 Theodore Roosevelt $1 Coin are:
- 26th PRESIDENT
- 1901-1909
Theodore Roosevelt was born in New York City in 1858. He was lieutenant colonel of the Rough Riders Regiment during the Spanish-American War and was elected governor of New York in 1898. He became President upon the death of William McKinley in 1901 and served nearly two terms. While President, Roosevelt took an active interest in the design of American coinage, personally commissioning renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign the "double eagle" ($20) gold coin. He left office in 1909 but ran again in 1912 on the Progressive ("bull moose") Party ticket. The former President died in 1919.
Please note: United States Mint coins are rolled by an automated machine process and not by hand; thus, we cannot guarantee that the obverse (heads side) or reverse (tails) of a coin will be at either end of a coin roll.
In 2005, President Bush signed the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 authorizing the United States Mint to strike $1 coins honoring America's Presidents in the order in which they served. This coin, the 26th in the Presidential $1 Coin Program, honors President Theodore Roosevelt.

Engadget gets roasted by own fans for P&S-style review of the Canon 1D X
While tech and gadget blogs have graduated from the unboxing and dorkying-around type of camera reviews, they still have a lot of learnings to do when it comes to reviewing more advanced and professional digital cameras. Case in point, Engadget posted a P&S-style review of the Canon 1D X earlier this week. The review sparked a mini e-riot in the comments section of the review at Engadget - the complaints coming from their loyal fans and readers.
This is one of the things a number of review websites and blogs (including photography websites) don't seem to get. You can't review a professional DSLR the same way you review an entry-level mirrorless camera or a fixed-lens superzoom camera. They are different beasts with completely different target audiences. While you may be able to get away with walking-around-town style reviews for general-purpose consumer cameras, people buying a professional DSLR, for example a high-speed/sports-DSLR like the 1Dx/D4, expect to see reviews that test the camera's core capabilities, the features and options that make it the $specialty$ camera that it is.
Adding insult to injury, Engadget calls it a "field review". If you are going to "field review" a professional sports DSLR, the "field" is perhaps sports or fast-moving targets. You don't need a professional high-speed DSLR to shoot walkers, sitters, buildings, and mathletes ;-)
This is not to nit-pick specifically on Engadget. This happening simply triggered this pent-up mini-rant. Other websites/blogs do similar things.
Not to excuse the above, but perhaps this type of a thing may be partially caused by the flood-the-market strategy our beloved camera manufacturers have adopted. With hundreds of new cameras per year (and new camera systems coming out every few weeks), and the same number of reviewers and hours per day, just about every review-website/blog is getting squeezed with more and more new camera models waiting to be reviewed and readers demanding reviews ASAP.

By Scott Kilbury - bio | email
The day will be remembered in infamy for many of Southern Arizonans especially for those involved.
Larry dever quickly recalled the day on the calender that jumps out at him, "Oct. 23, 1982," he said. "If i happen to forget, someone calls me on that day."
Dever is the sheriff of Cochise County now but, nearly 27 years ago, he was a young deputy caught in a crossfire.
"Looking back, there are lessons learned, " Dever said. "When we went there I realize we shouldn't have gone so deep into their compound but at the time you're thinking 'is this really happening?"
Dever and the deptuties say they were unfairly portrayed in the media and never got to tell their story nor have their day in court. In fact, the county settled out of court the very day he was set to testify.
Dever said, "We were finally going to get to have our say...We had testified before a grand jury but this would be on record to hear."
Now Dever and his deputies are getting a chance have their story heard in print. "Shootout at Miracle Valley" is a new book written by William R. Daniel.
"It was the dying wish of Jimmy Judd, the sherrif of Cochise county at the time," Daniel said. "His friend, Larry Demster, a rancher from Willcox, promised him he would make sure a book was written telling the real story." Judd passed away three years ago but made sure to call Demster three times on that day to confirm his promise would be kept.
In a series of book signings, the deputies have gotten together and remembered that day. Dever says it has helped coping with the disturbing memory. "Now we can look at objectively and not get so emotional," Dever said. "It feels better now that our story is being told."
The trouble didn't start immediately when the members of the Faith Healing church moved to the Miracle Valley in 1979. Over the next three years, membership grew to more than 300 and coexisted with the surrounding community until Frances Thomas relocated from Chicago to take control. She took over the leadership of the compound and began professing what locals said was an anti-white doctrine.
The group isolated itself even more from the outside and even started patroling the property with its own armed security patrol. That caused confrontations with utility workers, neighbors and eventually law enforcement.
Even our very own KOLD News 13 photographer Jamie Lopez, who still works with the station, was caught in the middle of the melee. He was caught on national news fleeing from three women armed with hammers. "It was a dark day in Southern Arizona's history," Lopez said. We were parked across the street and they still chased us down... I'm just glad nothing more serious didn't happen to us."
On that dark day in October, two members of the church were killed, so was a deputy. Dever was one of seven injured with a gun shot wound to the face. "Looking back, we should have shot the first guy that came out with a 30-30 shotgun," Dever said. "We let him shout and point the gun at us and that just impowered them... Noone wanted to be the flashpoint to set off a shootout."
The book has already exceed expectations in sales with more six thousand sold in Cochise County. "It's similar to the Shootout at O.K. Corrall," Daniel said. "But it's actually a more important part of our history because we're still struggling with the same issues." Now the book signings are starting up in Tucson. The first, for now, is at Mostly Books on 6208 E. Speedway on Saturday from 1pm to 2:30.
The deptuites are not receiving any proceeds from the book they welcome the opportunity to be heard.
"It's just good to relfect about it together because we never did," Dever added. "It's been interesing to say the least."

Adventures in the Nentir Vale--IC
I'll go ahead and start the narrative.
OOC Thread
Rogue's Gallery
The Set-up
"The companions looked furtively at each other as they paced alongside the merchant's wagon. Back in Harken Village, they had met an unusually personable and loquacious dwarf named Traevus, who had persuaded them to 'invest' 100 gold pieces each in a business venture he assured them would see 500%, 1200%, 2000% return; the profit potential seemed to grow with each new telling. He proposed to buy a wagon, fill it up with casks of the regionally popular Ironbeard Ale, and drive it to Fallcrest, which was hosting its annual fair.
They were half a day away from Fallcrest when the goblins attacked. The threat wasn't serious, and the companions easily drove off the attackers. The dwarf, however, had something rather odd stolen from him during the battle. One of the goblins snatched an old, yellow clay pot with curious designs painted on it. The creature immediately clambered off the wagon and scampered toward a mysterious figure standing in the distance, who wore an ostentatious red cloak. Then, the oddest part of this incident occurred: Traevus the dwarf pulled a small hammer from under his cloak, took aim, and threw the hammer in a perfect arc toward the red-cloaked figure. Instead of hitting the person, however, the hammer smashed into the pot, breaking it into numerous shards. The red-cloaked figure hurriedly gathered up the shards and made his escape. He missed one piece of of the broken pot, however, which Traevus pocketed without explanation. More than one of the companions had the impression that the dwarf had actually aimed for the pot.
Still, the prospect of the success of their 'business venture' impelled them to finish the journey to Fallcrest, where unfortunately, it was revealed that Traevus wasn't the only one with the idea of shipping ale to the fair; the glut of ale meant that the business partners barely broke even."

The first "real" quest
The companions wandered around Fallcrest and its fair for a couple of days before being approached by their former "business partner", Traevus, who hustles them into a nearby, nearly-empty tavern.
"Do you remember this?" he asks, as he pulls the out shard of clay pot and holds it up.

Tanglebeard bobbed his head. "I never forget anything t' do with ale. Traevus is it? What yer about then?" The fur-clad dwarf asked.
Sunday, 12th June, 2011, 04:41 PM #4
Traevus smiles faintly at Tanglebeard and waves the barmaid over. "Some of your finest Ironbeard Ale for my companions," he says as he motions to those sitting at the table.
"Now, what I'm on about is a job, if you're willin'. I will pay you 100 gold--to each of you--to go back and retrieve the rest of that clay pot. It was a special order for one of the, um, merchants, here in Fallcrest, and...well, it seems he was really anxious to add that particular pot to his, er, collection." He crooks a finger and tugs at his collar as if the tavern had become stuffy. "The thing is," he continues, "you won't have much time. A few days at the most." He looks uncertainly from one to the other of the companions.

Grumi narrows his eyes. "Yer speakin' like someone who has somethin' ta hide. Speak yer mind, fer me father's beard! We all saw ye makin' guts out o' now where and throwing a hammer towards that strange man, but ye were aiming at that figure, didn't ye? It is more important that ye are confesin'. I might be a human, but I was raised like a dwarf, I recognize the value o' thin's." he says brooming his long and abundant beard. "if ye want us to risk our necks, the least ye can do is tell us all the truth. Otherwise ye might as well go by yerself; as it stands, the only thing we got from ye is a fight with a bunch o' goblins, and a ride to this smelly town."

Traevus leans back in his chair, looks around the table, then holds his hands out in supplication. "Friends, friends, I must beg your forgiveness; I mean no disrespect, no disrespect at all. I can see you gentlemen are not mere mercenaries that can simply be bought off with coin." He looks down and fiddles with his mug of ale. "The clay pot was more than it seemed, as I'm sure you have guessed." After carefully glancing around the empty room, he leans forward and speaks in a low voice. "There are things happening in the Nentir Vale; I'm not a dwarf that usually pays much attention to politics, but there is a change in how towns are being run; all sorts of new regulations and restrictions on trade, the powers that be in each town acting aloof and despotic in ways they never had before." He takes a sip of his ale. "And so, certain prominent merchants have banded together for the protection of their interests. Since their activities are considered 'extra-legal', all messages between them are confiscated and examined to detect any subversive activities. These merchants have taken to send information to each other through means other than letters. Putting a message in, or on, a clay pot, is one way they send information." He looks up at the companions again. "So, you can see why, once I realized that the goblins were after that particular clay pot, I had to destroy it. We had been discovered. I thought it enough to prevent the, well, the other side from learning what the message was. It turns out that my, er, patron, considered the message to contain vital information of some sort. And so, he tasked me to retrieve it. But I am no adventurer." He looks around at them again. "Will you help me?"

"And this is only worth 50gp an ear? Well, I got nothing else to do and I'm a pretty good tracker. We can keep everything we find but the other clay shards right?"
Denaris asks, looking up from oiling and restringing his impressive crossbow. He wears a simple elven made leather armor.
please consider him always using aspect of the pouncing Lynx if I state no otherwise.

Traevus looks at the elf for a moment before responding. "I apologize that it's so little, but it's all we can get our hands on, at the moment. Much of our capital is tied up in...certain projects. Any legally obtained treasure or equipment are, of course, yours to keep. We only need the return of the clay pot."
At this point, an elven lady enters the room from a door behind the bar. She is tall, red-haired, and has vivid green eyes. Gazing around the room, she spots Traevus and heads toward the table. She smiles at the companions, then leans down and whispers something into Traevus' ear. He looks at her in alarm, then rises quickly. He removes a pouch from his belt and hands it over to the lady elf, then turns back to the companions.
"I'm afraid I am needed elsewhere at the moment. That pouch contains 200 gold pieces, which I am willing to offer as an up-front payment. Cait--" here, the elf presses her hand on his shoulder and shakes her head slightly, and Traevus catches himself. "I mean...Elaine, here, will turn it over, if you decide to take the job. I understand if you decide not to. In fact, there is another adventuring party--" he looks at "Elaine" as he says this--"that's just arrived in town. We can offer the job to them, if you decide it's not in your line." He finishes his ale, bows slightly to the companions, and hurries out the back door.
The elf looks at the companions and raises her eyebrows expectantly.

Before the elven lady arrives:
Grumi grunts. He pulls down his brown hood, revealing a clear brown hair, braided in a very dwarven fashion, as is his long beard. "That's better." he approves the decision from the dwarf. "So... if we return also with the head o' that red caped bastard, I'll expect a reward." he adds, with greed shining in his eyes.
"Of course we're takin' tha damn job." Grumi snatches the gold bag. "Tree hugger newt faces..." he goes on grumbling in low voice.

The lady elf gives a look of annoyance which she quickly covers with a smile. "I thank you for helping us in this matter. If and when you find the remains of the pot, you may return here to the Blue Moon Alehouse to receive the rest of your payment." She curtsies, pauses, and says, "If I might offer a suggestion; Traevus is, I think, overly fond of Ironbeard ale. This taphouse has an excellent house brew that you might enjoy." She gives them a green-eyed wink and leaves through the back door.

Hope you're wearing green! And maybe a coat too.
Strong storm moving in Saturday night into Sunday. It's spreading scattered showers across the region, and will continue overnight. Look out for some wintry driving conditions if you're heading across Lookout Pass. Snow will build up a bit out there. You'll hear the wind howling tonight, gusts could be as high as 35mph. Overnight lows will fall to freezing in Spokane and even colder in the High Country areas.
The wild winds return Sunday, so hang onto your hats. We could see a few scattered showers with sun breaks squeezed in between. Daytime highs will be in the mid-40°s but feel a lot cooler with the wind.
Looks like a brief break in between systems. Wednesday is the first day of spring! And it looks like it'll be a classic spring-like Inland Northwest kind of day: rain, wind and chilly temps.
Hope with the luck of the Irish, we'll see some sunshine Sunday! Cheers! -DG

Proposed redesign of eBay Motors, a universal app for iPad and iPhone for Motors enthusiasts looking for vehicles and parts. The app was optimized for iOS 7, and focused on improving the shopping experience for car shoppers, and making it easier to find parts that were compatible with a customer's vehicle.
I also worked on integrating key shopping flows, such as shopping cart, checkout and search.
I worked on a redesign of eBay Fashion, a universal app for iPad and iPhone focused on shopping for eBay's fashion-focused customers. The app was optimized for iOS 7, featuring high-quality photography provided by eBay Fashion editors and an minimalist aesthetic that could play well with any number of fashion trends.
Launched in November 2012, eBay Garage was based on the premise that eBay's community of auto enthusiasts could be brought together through their common interests, sharing their stories and knowledge of their vehicles.
In Garage, eBay members can add photos and information about their car or motorcycle to create a profile that the public can view. Other members can leave comments and ask questions. Members can also use their vehicle information to make searching for parts on eBay easier.
eBay Garage was a significant step in the move into social engagement, paving the way for eBay's launch of Collections in 2013. As of Q4 2013, there are over 1 million registered vehicles in Garage, and over 300,000 public vehicle profiles.
In 2010 I took on the challenge of leading UX and Design for the Motors category at eBay. With over 100 million customers, and an annual worldwide Gross Merchandise Value of over 3 billion dollars, eBay Motors was a formidable business in need of design support.
I worked closely with the product and business teams to address multiple challenges around search, trust and engagement. I also improved design with a stronger visual style that spoke to its enthusiast audience, and an overall improvement in user experience, from information architecture, to navigation and content.
In collaboration with other designers at eBay, I helped to develop the new design system which included user interface patterns, global navigation, visual themes and brand guidelines.
In October 2012, the New eBay debuted with an updated look and feel, and a brand new logo.
Watch on Youtube
In early 2012, in preparation for launch of eBay Garage, our team decided to put together a video that would inspire the product and business teams around what the experience could be.
We initially developed concepts of a global garage, and put the rest of the work in the capable hands of Adam Lisagor and his Sandwich Video crew, closely collaborating with him in the process of bringing the concept to reality.
I also created a lot of the example user interfaces used in the video, including the floating images of auto parts.
As creative lead for the eBay Motors vertical, I explored how to rationalize the eBay Motors brand and put together a design system that included guidelines for tone, color, logos, typography and photography. This system would help third-parties design within clear guidelines that would support eBay Motors offline, like event signage, advertising and collateral.
automobiles.honda.com (open in a mobile device)
In 2010 The Honda Automobiles website was optimized for mobile - namely the iPhone and Android touchscreen devices. I led the user experience, helping to determine how the existing architecture and interface would be translated for these new browsers and viewports.
For the most part, a user on a phone could do pretty much everything they did on a desktop browser, from viewing a 360 degree spin of a car and watching videos, to configuring their vehicle and requesting a dealer quote.
In 2007 The Honda Automobiles website in sore need of an revamp. I worked closely with National Honda Marketing and covered every aspect of the site to improve how shoppers learned about Honda vehicles, their features, and their value.
From the homepage that displays the entire lineup of vehicles, to the information dense - yet easy to navigate - model sites, no detail was left unturned. I helped develop a user interface pattern for common areas like media viewing and shopping tools, and a strong but flexible design system that allowed for each vehicle to express their own personality but within the boundaries of the Honda Autos brand.
The redesign was very successful. In its Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study, J.D. Power and Associates ranked the Honda Automobiles site the highest among Manufacturer Websites in Satisfying New-Vehicle Shoppers in 2010 and 2011.
Related to the Honda Automobiles Redesign, the tools for shopping for a Honda Vehicle - Build Your Honda, Request a Dealer Quote, Find a Dealer, and the Certified Used Cars website - needed more than a update to its look and feel.
Based on a heuristic evaluation of the current tools and user feedback from usability testing, I led the redesign of each tool, identifying common overlaps in user interface patterns and pored over each user flow to ensure each tool was easy for the user to understand and complete their tasks. As a result, the ease of use for these tools helped Honda in its recognition as the easiest site for new vehicle shoppers.
I helped develop the user experience for the desktop and mobile site for the "Dream the Impossible" documentary series, a look at Honda's philosophy of the Power of Dreams and how other prominent figures in sports, entertainment, and business approach aspects of dreaming the impossible.
In 2005 the Honda Element SUV debuted, and what better way to showcase its playful nature than through a game? An animal in its own right, the Element was a character on an island filled with other irreverent animals, where users could drive the Element and play games and interact with other characters like a penguin, mouse, and a crab.
I helped develop the overall concept, as well as the game mechanics and interaction.
I helped provide information architecture support to the folks at Trailer Park in their development of the official website for Frank Sinatra.
I helped provide information architecture support to the folks at Trailer Park in their development of website for Turbine, Inc., a game company.

Police tell Fox 2's Taryn Asher that the shooting that killed three people and wounded six others at Al's Barbershop on Seven Mile Road in Detroit was done in retaliation for murder.
Police tell Asher that the shooter or shooters were targeting a person or persons thought to be responsible for murdering a friend. Al's Barbershop was a place the intended targets were thought to be. The gambling, police say, is not the motive behind the shooting.
In press conference on Thursday, Detroit Police Chief James Craig says a man is in custody following a shooting at a barbershop that claimed three lives and injured six others.
Craig says the man, who was arrested Thursday morning in Rochester, is considered a person of interest and is being held at the Oakland County Sheriff's Department. Homicide detectives plan to interview the man Thursday afternoon, Craig says.
"This man is a convicted felon and was wearing body armor at the time of his arrest," said Craig.Craig says shots erupted at Al's Barbershop on Seven Mile Road and Keystone just before 6 p.m. Wednesday. Craig said 20 to 30 people were packed in a small back room where people were "engaged in gambling activities" when the shooter opened fire through an open rear door."People rushed out of the building and were running into other area businesses for cover," Detroit police spokesperson Kelly Miner said Wednesday night.Names of the victims have not been released.Police were looking for a 2004 black Impala and a 2004 white Impala with the windows possibly broken out from bullets."It's tragic situation," said Craig.Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Detroit police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. A $5,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.

The Word: Marilyn Manson dedicates a song to Paris Jackson
Marilyn Manson is pretty much the patron saint of teen angst. He lived up to the title this week when he reached out to Paris Jackson following her suicide attempt.
Paris, the 15-year-old daughter of the late pop singer Michael Jackson, was rushed to the hospital Wednesday following an overdose on pills and an attempt to slit her wrists. Earlier this week, she was reportedly upset that she hadn't been allowed to attend a Marilyn Manson concert.
Manson responded by publicly, announcing his support for the troubled teen. "I hope you feel better. You will be on my guest list any time you want," he said, according to Today.
At last night's concert he announced, "This song is for Paris Jackson," before playing "Disposable Teens."
Paris was rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital Wednesday after an apparent suicide attempt, her mother, Debbie Rowe, told "Entertainment Tonight."
Paris, the second of Jackson's three children, had "a lot going on (lately)," Rowe told the celebrity news show.
"We appreciate everyone's thoughts for Paris at this time and their respect for the family's privacy," an attorney for Rowe said in a statement.
Celebrity website TMZ.com, which first reported the suicide attempt, said Paris had been taken from her home in Calabasas, Calif., by ambulance at about 2 a.m., citing unnamed sources.

The Word: Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban join 'American Idol' team
The new judges panel for the 12th season of "American Idol" was announced yesterday in a press release from Fox. Joining confirmed judges Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson will be the new additions of Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj.
"With the exciting addition of Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj, alongside Randy Jackson, 'American Idol"s star power has never been so great," said "Idol" executive producer Simon Fuller in a boilerplate quote.
Judging by other quotes in the release — "we've put together one of the most exciting judging panels around," said Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company — you can tell the honchos at the network are feeling the heat from other all-star panels at rival singing competitions such as "The Voice" and "The X Factor," where Britney Spears is killing it as a judge.
What do you think of these new additions? As always, feel free to write in to let your opinion known. As for me, I just hope Nicki Minaj's multiple personalities can make up for Urban's lack of one.
Royal lawyers: Block those nips!
Will the publisher of Italian media group Mondadori lose their shirts for publishing photos of Kate Middleton without hers on?
It certainly looks that way, with lawyers for the royal family going to court today in France in order to try to stop further publication of topless photos of Kate there. The palace is also seeking damages from Mondadori, which is owned by former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi. Meanwhile, YouPorn.com — a site that usually doesn't need publicity — has generated some by offering an "open checkbook" to procure the snaps.
It might just be me, but it's hard to find any sympathy for Middleton. When you know you are going to become the next Queen of England, it's time to put your topless sunbathing days behind you. Seems like a fair swap, right?
Duff Goldman: Buddy's not my buddy
We chatted up "Ace of Cakes" star Duff Goldman at the launch of his cake-inspired truffles collection for Godiva last week, and he wasn't too happy when asked about his friendship with Buddy Valastro of "Cake Boss" fame.
"We don't have one," he told Metro. "He's not the other cake guy. It's insulting to even be compared with that guy. It's terrible. I hate it, I really hate it." He then launched into an off-the-record rant about the Cake Boss's subpar skills before walking off, leaving us to munch on his tasty truffles solo.
Guess there's no amount of sugar that could sweeten up that relationship.

World Wetlands Day 1999 in the United Kingdom
Activities reported for World Wetlands Day 1999
2 February 1999
Dragonflies and a rare breed of mollusc will be given extra protection as Pevensey Levels in Sussex is designated as a Wetland of International Importance, Environment Minister Alan Meale said today.
The site, which covers 3,577.71 hectares, is one of the largest and least fragmented lowland wet grassland systems in southeast England. The lowlying grazing meadows are intersected by a complex system of ditches which support a variety of important wetland communities, including nationally rare and scarce aquatic plants and invertebrates. The site is probably the best in Great Britain for freshwater molluscs, one of the five best for aquatic Coleoptera, and supports an outstanding assemblage of dragonflies.
Mr Meale said:
"I am delighted to announce this latest designation. The listing of this site - which coincides with World Wetlands Day - demonstrates the Governments commitment to recognising the international importance of these wetland features. I am pleased that the Minister for Fisheries and Countryside, Elliot Morley, has visited Pevensey Levels today where he will also be announcing the designation of this site."
Pevensey Levels is one of four sites designated today as Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance, two of which are in Scotland - Caithness & Sutherland Peatlands, and Loch of Inch and Torrs Warren - and one in Northern Ireland, Lough Foyle.
Mr Meale also announced the extension of the UKs ratification to the Ramsar Convention to the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the British Indian Ocean Territory on 8 January 1999. It is hoped that both will be shortly be in a position to list sites.
The Minister went on to announce the UKs ratification of the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA). He said:
"I am pleased to announce that the UK has ratified the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement. This Agreement is the largest of its kind so far concluded under the Bonn Convention on Migratory Species, encompassing about 120 Range States and 170 species. It aims to secure a long-term future for migratory waterbird species by creating a framework for a concerted conservation and management policy by Range States."
1 The UK is a signatory to and an active participant in the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat (the Ramsar Convention - named after the town in Iran where the first conference was held in 1971). The broad objectives of the Convention are to stem the progressive encroachment on, and loss of, wetlands and to promote their wise use.
2 No site is designated as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention unless it has first been notified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) under Section 28 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Such notification protects the site by law from activities likely to damage the nature conservation interest. The Ramsar listing gives public recognition to the international importance of the site and is a factor taken into account in land use planning and other matters.
3 135 UK Ramsar sites have now been listed covering over 690,453 hectares.
4 World Wetland Day is being celebrated internationally by those countries which have signed up to the Ramsar Convention. The date chosen, 2 February, is the 28th Anniversary of the day the Ramsar Convention was signed in 1971.
5 The UK is a signatory to the Bonn Convention on Migratory Species which aims to establish a framework to protect migratory species at an international level. The African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) was concluded under this Convention and aims to by create a framework for a concerted conservation and management policy by Range States in order to secure a long-term future for migratory waterbird species. The UK took a leading role in negotiations, attending the negotiating meeting for the Agreement in June 1995. The UK signed the Agreement and its associated Action Plan for implementation on September 1996 and ratified the Agreement (for the UK and all its dependent territories in the Agreement area) on 2 February 1999.
