|The Present Status of Beaked Redfish (S. mentella and S. fasciatus) in NAFO Division 3M and Medium Term Projections Under A Low Commercial Catch/ High Shrimp Fishery By-Catch Regime
|Ávila de Melo, A.; Alpoim, R.; Saborido-Rey, Fran
|Issue Date:
|Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization
|Scientific Council Research (SCR) Documents 02/54 (2002)
|Series/Report no.:
|The present assessment evaluates the status of the Division 3M beaked redfish stock, regarded as a management unit composed of two populations from two very similar species (Sebastes mentella and Sebastes fasciatus). The sum of the absolute length compositions of the 1989-2001 commercial catch with the 1993-2001 by-catch is the Div. 3M redfish catch at length input of this assessment. The VPA based models used a 1989-2001 catch at age matrix starting at age 4 and having a plus group at age 19. An Extended Survivor Analysis (Shepherd, 1999) was performed using 2001 XSA framework. The consistency of the XSA results was checked with a Retrospective Analysis confined to the assessments of the most recent years, 2001-1999. A Separable/Cohort analysis (Pope and Shepherd, 1982) has also been performed afterwards. Compared with XSA the Cohort/SPA model systematically under estimated both stock biomass and spawning stock biomass over the past thirteen years. Despite an apparent lack of residual patterns, the Separable model has a poorer fit to the commercial catch at age matrix than the Extended Survivor model. A logistic surplus production model (ASPIC) which does not use the equilibrium assumption (Praguer, 1994 and 1995) was also applied using the 1959-2001 catch coupled with the STATLANT standardized CPUE series (1959-1993) and the age 4 plus EU bottom biomass (1988-2001). The ASPIC results, as regards biomass and fishing mortality trends are identical to the ones from the VPA based models though with a faster rate of biomass increase over the final years of 1999-2001. Either VPA's and ASPIC analysis pointed out that the Div. 3M beaked redfish stock experienced a steep decline from the second half of the 1980s till 1996. Fishing mortality was kept well above Fmsy over the first half of the assessment period. From 1995 onwards fishing mortality dropped and since 1997 has been kept well below natural mortality. Despite recent fluctuations biomass and female spawning biomass are generally increasing since 1997 but at a slow rates, being still well bellow the levels of the first years of the time series. However the stock reproductive potential has increased through the nineties compensating the SSB decline and sustaining recruitment at the late-1980s and early-1990s level. By-catch mortality continued to act as a buffer on survival of pre-recruits and its impact increases with year-class strength. With the XSA survivors and recruitment randomly resample from the 1999-2001 geometric mean, short- and medium-term projections were made under three fishing mortality options. Keeping fishing mortality at Fstatus quo will allow a moderate increase of SSB but by the beginning of the next decade female spawning biomass will still be far away from the SSB levels higher than 80,000 tons recorded prior to 1991 and associated with strong recruitments. On the contrary, a reduction to 45%-60% of Fstatusquo will anchored in the short term caches to an interval defined by the present level of catches and the adopted 2000-2002 TAC, but will allow a medium term female spawning biomass closer to that 80,000 tons SSB frontier.

I've been struggling with a very annoying problem all day long and I hope I could find help on this board.
I'm using an MPMoviePlayerController to play a fullscreen movie on iPad and I can't figure how to remove the status bar which is always displayed despite all my efforts to make it go to hell.
Here is the code of the method I use to display the movie :
NSString *videoPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"movie01" ofType:@"m4v"];
NSURL *videoPathURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoPath];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoPathURL];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;
moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
[moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
NSNotificationCenter *notificationCenter = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[notificationCenter addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayerEvent:) name:MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChangeNotification object:moviePlayer];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:NO];
NSLog(@"%i", [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden);
In the console, I can see that moviePlayerEvent is fired when the movie appears but the statusbar is still there : [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:NO] seems to be inoperant. I've been trying to use the other MPMoviePlayerController notifications with no luck.
Could anyone help me on that one?
Thanks in advance.

Turn old sweaters into an insulated carrier for hot dishes
I got this idea from my Mom — when she brings a hot dish to a potluck, she usually wraps it in old towels so it stays warm in transit. So I decided to refashion a felted wool sweater into a kind of padded envelope to carry potluck dishes in. The food will stay warm, and when you get there, you'll have a built-in trivet to set it on!
Note: Different kinds of wool sweaters will behave differently during the felting process. Some will shrink a great deal. Others, hardly at all. I recommend starting with a large-size sweater, so you'll have as much felt to work with as possible. For this project, I'm also using a wool-blend blanket from my local thrift store, which I felted in the washing machine. If you don't have a blanket, you can felt a second sweater.
In addition, I've specified a cutting board for this project that will act as a sturdy base for your cozy. (Don't worry, you'll be able to slide it right out of the cozy when you're not using it.) If you don't have a cutting board in your kitchen that fits, you can also buy rigid plastic sheeting at a home improvement store and have it cut to size. Or check your local dollar store for inexpensive cutting boards.
Step 2: Cut the sleeves off the sweater, following the seam lines. Cut the sweater apart at the shoulder seams, too. Then turn it inside out and sew the bottom edge closed, using a 1/2" seam allowance.
Step 4: Cut away the front panel of the sweater, cutting straight across at the bottom of the neckline. If your sweater has a crew neck instead of a V-neck, you may end up trimming a little more away below the neckline than I am in these photos. This panel, where the front of the sweater was, I'll now be calling the top panel of your cozy. Leave the back panel in place for now; we'll use it later to make a flap.
Step 5: To add an extra layer of insulation to the inside of your cozy, cut another piece of wool felt (again, blanket, sweater -- whatever you have). It should be the same size as the top panel of the cozy. Pin this piece to the top panel of the cozy.
Step 6: Attach this felt to the cozy by zigzag stitching or serging through all the layers along the side and bottom seam allowances.
Step 7: Turn the cozy right side out again. See how this extra felt insulates the top? Great -- now we'll insulate the bottom, too.
Step 8: Cut another piece of felt that wraps around your cutting board, with 1/2" of extra fabric around the long side, 1/2" at the bottom edge, and and 3" at the top. We'll use this to make a simple sleeve.
Step 9: Fold this piece in half and sew along the side and bottom, using a 1/2" seam allowance. Turn the sleeve right side out and slide in your cutting board, as shown. Then, trim away the excess on the top front, so that the top back forms a flap.
Step 10: Sew 2" tabs of Velcro to the flap and the sleeve to keep it closed. Slide the insulated cutting board into your cozy. Not only does it protect the bottom (and your hands, when you carry it), you can also slide it out and use it as a trivet at the potluck.
Step 11: Depending on how your sweater is constructed, you may need to make a little adjustment to the opening of your cozy. My sweater was built so that my cozy was a little narrower near the opening, so I opened the side seams a bit and split them. I then zigzag stitched the edges of the sweater to the insulation layer underneath. Presto -- a slightly wider opening! (If your sweater doesn't need this adjustment, go ahead and skip this step.)
Step 12: Cut the back panel of the sweater straight across now, removing the back of the collar ribbing and any labels. The rest of this back panel will become the flap closure for your cozy.
Step 13: Cut another strip of insulating felt that's the same size as as the flap. Pin this piece to the inside of the flap.
Step 15: Sew 2" tabs of Velcro to the ends and center of the flap. Sew matching tabs to the body of the cozy.
Step 16: Embellish your cozy any way you like! When I sew on felt shapes like this, I like to glue them in place first, using just a little glue at the centers. That keeps them in position as I whip stitch the edges.

Re: Refinancin
g in May, CC Help needed
Before you do anything, go to daveramsey.com. Pay your cards off and don't open any accounts. What have we come to in this country thinking you have to take money out on credit. Who cares what your score is when the only thing you owe on is your mortgage and EVERYTHING else is paid for. Now thats a nice feeling. Start saving for what you buy, set up an emergency fund. You know, interest works both ways. Why not have the bank pay you interest instead of you paying interest. Its sad, but this website sets people up for failure by continuing to wade through a sea of debt. Change your behavior and get free from debt. Go to the daveramsey.com and sign up for "Financial Peace University". God bless.

text: drugs In Tennessee, a Mixed Bag When it Comes to Crime Rates By Kevin Willis • May 23, 2012 Drug crimes in Tennessee have risen to their second-highest number in eleven years. That comes despite the fact that overall crime rates in the Volunteer State are dropping. On the one hand, Tennessee has experienced four years of general crime declines. On the other hand, the Tennessean reports that drug-related incidents are on the rise throughout the state. Six Million Dollar Settlement Announced By Dan Modlin • May 15, 2012 The office of Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway says $6 million has been recovered from Merck and Company in a lawsuit filed against pharmaceutical companies. Its the latest in a series of settlements over so-called "average wholesale price" cases. The suits allege that defendent drug companies published false and inflated average wholesale prices for their products, which didn't bear any relationship to the prices actually charged to customers.

See Also – Sepsis Fact Sheets
Sepsis is the body's overwhelming and life-threatening response to an infection which can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death.
When can you get sepsis?
Sepsis can occur to anyone, at any time, from any type of infection, and can affect any part of the body. It can occur even after a minor infection.
What causes sepsis?
Any type of infection that is anywhere in your body can cause sepsis, including infections of the skin, lungs (such as pneumonia), urinary tract, abdomen (such as appendicitis), or other part of the body. An infection occurs when germs enter a person's body and multiply, causing illness, and organ and tissue damage.
Who gets sepsis?
Anyone can get sepsis as a bad outcome from an infection, but the risk is higher in:
- people with weakened immune systems
- babies and very young children
- elderly people
- people with chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, AIDS, cancer, and kidney or liver disease
- people suffering from a severe burn or wound
Ask your doctor about your risk for getting sepsis.
What are the symptoms of sepsis?
There is no single sign or symptom of sepsis. It is, rather, a combination of symptoms. Since sepsis is the result of an infection, symptoms can include infection signs (diarrhea, vomiting, sore throat, etc.), as well as ANY of the symptoms below:
S—Shivering, fever, or very cold
E—Extreme pain or general discomfort ("worst ever")
P—Pale or discolored skin
S—Sleepy, difficult to rouse, confused
I—"I feel like I might die"
S—Short of breath
Why should I be concerned about sepsis?
Sepsis can be deadly. It kills more than 258,000 Americans each year and leaves thousands of survivors with life-changing after effects. According to CDC, there are over 1 million cases of sepsis each year, and it is the ninth leading cause of disease-related deaths.
What should I do if I think I have an infection or sepsis?
- Call your doctor or go to the emergency room immediately if you have any signs or symptoms of an infection or sepsis. This is a medical emergency.
- It's important that you say, "I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SEPSIS."
- If you are continuing to feel worse or not getting better in the days after surgery, ask your doctor about sepsis. Sepsis is a common complication of people hospitalized for other reasons.
How is sepsis diagnosed?
Doctors diagnose sepsis using a number of physical findings like fever, increased heart rate, and increased breathing rate. They also do lab tests that check for signs of infection.
Many of the symptoms of sepsis, such as fever and difficulty breathing, are the same as in other conditions, making sepsis hard to diagnose in its early stages.
How is sepsis treated?
People with sepsis are usually treated in the hospital. Doctors try to treat the infection, keep the vital organs working, and prevent a drop in blood pressure.
Doctors treat sepsis with antibiotics as soon as possible. Many patients receive oxygen and intravenous (IV) fluids to maintain normal blood oxygen levels and blood pressure. Other types of treatment, such as assisting breathing with a machine or kidney dialysis, may be necessary. Sometimes surgery is required to remove tissue damaged by the infection.
Are there any long-term effects of sepsis?
Many people who get severe sepsis recover completely and their lives return to normal. But some people may experience permanent organ damage. For example, in someone who already has kidney problems, sepsis can lead to kidney failure that requires lifelong dialysis.
How can I prevent sepsis?
- Get vaccinated against the flu, pneumonia, and any other infections that could lead to sepsis. Talk to your doctor for more information.
- Prevent infections that can lead to sepsis by:
- Cleaning scrapes and wound
- Practicing good hygiene (e.g., hand washing, bathing regularly)
- If you have an infection, look for signs like: fever, chills, rapid breathing and heartrate, rash, confusion, and disorientation.
How many people get sepsis?
CDC's National Center for Health Statistics estimates that, based upon information collected for billing purposes, the number of times people were in the hospital with sepsis or septicemia (another word for sepsis) increased from 621,000 in the year 2000 to 1,141,000 in 2008.1
Between 28 and 50 percent of people who get sepsis die.2
The number of cases of sepsis each year has been going up in the United States. This could be because of the following reasons:
- the population is aging
- people have more chronic illnesses
- people are getting more invasive procedures, immunosuppressive drugs, chemotherapy, and organ transplants
- increasing antibiotic resistance
- increasing awareness and tracking of sepsis
What is CDC doing to prevent sepsis?
CDC works to prevent infections that could lead to sepsis through promotion of vaccination for diseases like pneumococcus and meningitis, smoking cessation programs to prevent community-acquired pneumonia, and strategies to prevent healthcare-associated infections. Recently, CDC has begun projects specifically focused on sepsis prevention so that we can better understand the factors that contribute to sepsis, enhance prevention strategies, and save lives.
CDC has worked with patient advocacy and consumer groups to educate the public, raise awareness and promote the prevention of healthcare-associated infections. CDC is working to implement strategies to increase sepsis awareness among the public, healthcare providers, and healthcare facilities.

text: I know almost nothing about coding and such, I am just an idea guy. I am working on a website for a company that has many locations internationally, and we would like to integrate something like this into our website. It would look something like this: each international arm of the company would have its own "mini-site" within the big site. These people at the international locations would be clueless as to how to do any html editing whatsoever, so what we need is an extremely easy to use interface that would allow them to (1) login, (2) post an article that doesn't require html knowledge for simple things like italics and such, (3) would allow them to upload a picture in much the same way that they would save a document on their computer. Honestly we want something like "Blogger" but we havent been able to find it in an opensource format that we can customize to look like the rest of our site. Any help would be fantastic. Again, I know almost nothing about code, I am just the "idea guy," but any directions you could point me in would be helpful. Thanks!

I need to convert the elements of a matrix from str to int (after I read them from a file). I don't want to use any external library.
This is what I produced so far and it's working, but I'm not happy with it (not very pythonic):
def str2int(matrix):
n = 1
m = 1
if type(matrix) is ListType:
n = len(matrix)
if type(matrix[0]) is ListType:
m = len(matrix[0])
new_matrix = []
i = 0
while i < n:
j = 0
while j < m:
j += 1
i += 1
return new_matrix
Any better ideas?

In devising an instrument for the study of subjective visual sensations an attempt is here made to accomplish two objects: to settle some disputed questions concerning the nature of such sensations, and 2, to furnish a practical means for the autodiagnosis of disturbances or defects in the field of projection.
It is well, however, at the beginning of this paper to understand that Zehender's definition of subjective visual sensations is the accepted one. His definition is at variance with the definitions given in the Century, Standard and Foster's medical dictionaries, but it is nevertheless the most rational. For the production of subjective visual sensations—"Gesichtsempfindungen" —Zehender's definition requires the presence in the interior of the eye of real corporeal bodies.
Subjective visual sensations, therefore, differ from objective visual sensations in the fact that the latter owe their origin to corporeal things outside of the eye; they differ from hallucinations, "visions," and

A U.S. tourist was killed Wednesday in a robbery in a hostel in Colombia's second largest city, Medellin, according to a news story on colombiareports.com.

I live right next door to this hostel.. Heard the gunshot... knew it was a gunshot right when i heard it... about 8 police motorcycles showed up to the hostel. From what I heard, this 49 year old new yorker brought a prostitute back to the hostel, she then called a couple guys to come rob him and the 49 yr old would not comply with them and give up his money, so they shot him once ( i only heard one shot). Now I know why they say "if you get with a prostitute here in colombia, be carefull"...not worth it. Crazy because this is one of the most beautiful and safest parts of medellin.
#2 Apr 30, 2012
@I love Columbia:
I first came to know the victim, Dennis Levy, back in 1981 in New York. He was in his late 50s at the time of his death. He had gotten married a week earlier to the woman who accompanied him to the hostel; they were in the midst of closing on a house. A couple of people came to rob in the hostel, and Dennis resisted. No prostitution was involved.

Dennis Levy would be the last guy on earth to be caught with a prostitute.....too bad you didn't get a chance to know him or you would already know that.

I have lived in another countries and have visited many countries I can assure it is not a shit hole if its such a shit hole why is it being flooded by Expats and Europeans who live here and would never go back to there stale boring countries where there government pimps them and forces taxes on them and their there wages. Colombia is one of the most beautiful countries I have been, with excellent an quality of life. You would probably would not know that since you probably never left your little suburban home.

I hate to be the one to break the News another gringo dies in Medellin he was found today at 12:00 pm by police by poblado provenza area section of Medellin, he was taken to Clinca Medellin hospital He died of an over dose. The sad thing is he was found with no documents. They have tried searching local hostels and hotels but have not been able to identify him, he had some tattoos on his right arm. If anybody knows anything would help find out his identity, sad case his family is unaware of the situation.

Another stupid Colombian.
#10 Oct 29, 2012
Laughable how Colombians attack the tourist for visiting prostitutes in Colombia. I have never met a Colombian that has not slept with a prostitute at least once and most of them use prostitutes on a regular basis, which is why it is legal and very popular. The double standard that exists is incredible. Going with a Colombian prostitute makes a hell of a lot more sense than marring one of them that is for positively certain.

I lived in Cali for 6 months, and I never had any problems there. My wife now is from Cali and she helped me stay safe. The sad thing is that Colombia needs more tourists to bring their money to your poor country. But keep your attitude and your country will stay poor. Look at the violence Colombians pour on each other. That's not foreigners bringing the violence and poverty. What you need most are people with money and respect for law. You create your own hell.

There is more real need for the pioneering spirit today than ever before.
Thomas Watson (1874 - 1956)
Source: Thomas J. Watson in Men–Minutes–Money, a Collection of Excerpts from Talks . . .
Contributed by: Zaady
The man who bases his actions on independent thought; who reflects and considers before doing anything, and whose judgments are arrived at through logic, is the man who will go farthest today.
A tribute, published October 22, 1931, to Thomas Alva Edison upon his death: THE passing of Thomas Alva Edison serves to direct our attention to the multitude of benefactions he bestowed upon all humanity during his many years of fruitful activity. It reminds us of the debt of gratitude we owe him as members of the human race. By his achievements, he laid the foundation for continued and greater development. His persistent efforts and indefatigable spirit multiplied many times the valuable opportunities for man, especially the young man. To each and every young man, Mr. Edison left a legacy of opportunities.
A tribute, published October 22, 1931, to Thomas Alva Edison upon his death: More than any other man, Mr. Edison lifted us out of the material surroundings of the Middle Ages. For most part, his inventions were spectacular in that they served to effect the emancipation of humanity and at the same time made possible mass production, greater factories, new and faster transportation methods, speedier distribution of commodities and a general increase in the happiness and higher standards of living for the peoples of the world. His inventions have provided employment directly for more than a million persons and many millions are employed because of their indirect benefits. It has been recorded that the investment value of all the undertakings rooted in his inventions equals the value of all the gold mined in the world since Columbus discovered America. Thomas A. Edison, whom we revered for his simplicity and his greatness, has passed on, but his name and his achievements remain to be magnified in the light of their untold benefits to future generations.
What we do with our leisure time has considerable bearing on what we accomplish during our working hours, and very largely determines the degree of our success, Young men who, like yourselves, devote a predetermined amount of their leisure hours to study and to serious thinking, are the men who are going to progress far and fast. The business leaders of tomorrow will be the young men of today-men like you who are preparing now for the great future which lies ahead. You may view the future with confidence, knowing that from the youth of today will emerge the leaders of tomorrow.
If joining IBM was commitment, not employment, and the company engaged in something more than business, it had a right to demand of its men unconditional loyalty, Watson believed.
"If you are loyal you are successful," ruminated the company paper at one time. "All useful work is raised to the plane of art when love for the task-loyalty-is fused with the effort. Loyalty is the great lubricant of life. It saves the wear and tear of making daily decisions as to what is best to do. The man who is loyal to his work is not wrung nor perplexed by doubts, he sticks to the ship, and if the ship founders he goes down like a hero with colors flying at the masthead and the band playing."
Source: Thomas and Marva Belden in The Life of Thomas J. Watson, 1962, Little, Brown and Co.
Joining a company is an act that calls for absolute loyalty in big matters and little ones.
This kind of intense loyalty, then, became the well-spring of the IBM spirit, the family spirit as it was called.
Less than three weeks before his death, in one of Watson's last public statements about his company, he observed: It's this family spirit-combined with vision and faith-that has been responsible, perhaps more than anything else, for IBM's success.

What is the recommended animated model format that a game programmer would load in OpenGL?
I have taken a look at .md2 and .3ds formats available at some OpenGL tutorials. However, it would appear that they are both fairly old. Is there any well-supported model format that a contemporary game programmer would prefer?
Thanks in advance.

Next week will mark the 30th anniversary of Pope St. John Paul II's Sept. 16-17, 1984 visit to Edmonton, an historic moment for the local Church. The 10-day papal visit was, in fact, a landmark in Canadian Catholic history, a period during which the attention of the nation was riveted on the pope, his message and the Church itself.
It's been weeks now, but Robin Williams' death still spills teardrops of sadness into our thoughts. Almost everyone on Planet Earth was touched by his madcap humour that grabbed up our frazzled minds and took us away from worries that come with everyday life. Usually we have a certain favourite memory of this actor, be it Patch Adams, Dead Poets Society or when he would sandbag a talk show host with his brilliant but mad humour.
One truth is inescapable: We will all face reality in the end. Whatever we have made of our lives will be known. As human beings we can deny reality but we cannot escape it. Reality is not something we make up or produce on our own.
As terror rages out of control in Iraq and Syria, one should not forget the First Gulf War, begun in 1991, that was so deeply deplored at the time by Pope St. John Paul II and other Church leaders. The sainted pope pleaded with the leaders of Iraq and the United States to avoid a war stemming from Iraq's invasion of Kuwait the previous summer.
This summer I decided to take holiday time far away from Edmonton. I went to Ireland with family and friends. While visiting Galway Cathedral, I stopped to browse in the cathedral bookstore. There I purchased an interesting book on Catholic ethical reflections on nuclear power titled Fukushima. It was by an Irish priest, Sean McDonagh, who is a leading Catholic environmental writer. As I sat down, many miles from home to do a quick browse through the book, I came across a section on the Alberta bishops and their June 2009 statement, Pastoral Reflections on Nuclear Energy in Alberta.
When I started my work in church music in 1976 in Busby, it really was the Wild West. We photocopied music and made duo-tang hymnals with words-only versions of copyrighted materials. We didn't ask anyone for permission. I remember telling myself and others that this was for the Church, and so it was OK. Only in recent years I have come to accept the harsh truth: We were stealing. But in those days, that's what everyone did.
The feast of the Nativity of Mary, celebrated Sept. 8, is a minor Marian feast on the liturgical calendar. Even lower on the priority list is the Nov. 21 celebration of the Presentation of Mary in the Temple. There is no biblical mention of either of these events, even less so of the belief that Mary had parents named Joachim and Anne who are recognized as saints with their own feast (June 26).
Pope Francis' brief June 20 statement (WCR, July 21) in opposition to the legalization of marijuana is a needed intervention on a topic on which the Church has had little to say. The Church has been outspoken on the international drug trade, but less so on whether it would be appropriate to legalize "recreational drugs."
There are few more insightful studies into the spirituality of aging than the late James Hillman's book, The Force of Character. Ironically, Hillman was more critical of Christian spirituality than sympathetic to it; yet his brilliant insights into nature's design and intent offer perspectives on the spirituality of aging that often eclipse what is found in explicitly Christian writings.
This Sunday's Gospel contains Matthew's account of one of Peter's famous stumbles. Jesus had revealed the great events that lay before him, that it was soon time for him to go up to Jerusalem and undergo his suffering, death and resurrection. Peter is scandalized by those words and says to Jesus, "God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you."

This recipe is good but it's not a Jamaican Jerk seasoning recipe. I'm not going to dissect every detail but I would recommend that you use a Jamaican Jerk rub instead or trying to make your own. The ingredients list is not all inclusive for a true Jamaican Jerk rub. Marinating the meat is an essential step in making Jerk Chicken.
The blend of spices was delicious and this dish is so easy to prepare. Smells great while cooking too! I served this with potato and a salad for a quick, healthy, and tasty meal tonight - thanks for sharing!
We all liked the spice blend and we thought the amount of heat about right. I let the chicken set for about one-half hour after applying the rub, and seared it in very hot oil about 30 seconds on each side and then went with the 4 to 5 minutes per side. Very similar to some of the "blackened" recipes we see so much of here in New Orleans. Served it with succotash and sliced tomatoes. Good meal!

More than half of all physician practices and other eligible providers, including nurse practitioners and certified nurse-midwives, have received Medicare or Medicaid incentive payments for adopting or meaningfully using electronic health records, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced.
HHS stated it thus has met and exceeded its goal for 50% of physician practices and other eligible providers and 80% of eligible hospitals to have EHRs by the end of 2013.
According to a CDC survey last year, only 17% of doctors offices and 9% of hospitals were using an advanced EHR system in 2008.
"We have reached a tipping point in adoption of electronic health records which are critical to modernizing our healthcare system," HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a news release. "Health IT helps providers better coordinate care, which can improve patients health and save money at the same time."
The Obama administration has pushed for the adoption of health IT starting with the passage of the Recovery Act in 2009. Physicians, hospitals and other eligible providers that adopt and meaningfully use certified electronic health records receive incentive payments through the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs.
Practices led by nurse practitioners and certified nurse-midwives are eligible for the Medicaid incentive payments if at least 30% of their patient encounters come through Medicaid. First-time payments under the programs are as high as $18,000 for Medicare and $21,250 for Medicaid.
Part of the Recovery Act, these programs took effect in 2011 and are administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Office of the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology.
Adoption of EHRs is also critical to the broader healthcare improvement efforts that have started as a result of the Affordable Care Act. These efforts — improving care coordination, reducing duplicative tests and procedures and rewarding hospitals for keeping patients healthier — are made possible by widespread use of EHRs, according to HHS. Health IT systems give physicians, hospitals and other providers the ability to better coordinate care and reduce errors and readmissions that can cost more money and leave patients less healthy. In turn, efforts to improve care coordination and efficiency create further incentive for providers to adopt health IT.
As of the end of April, more than 291,000 eligible professionals and 3,800 eligible hospitals had received incentive payments.

Great size and form. Firm to sit on, which we love. Modern and fits well in our space.
Comments about Innovation Unfurl Sofa Bed:
We purchased this sofa for the guest room/office so that we didn't have to devote a huge space for a rarely-used bed. It's great that it doesn't scream futon or sleeper sofa. In fact, the style would be good looking for a sofa--sleeper or not. Our place has a modern decor, but I think this sofa's design is so unassuming that it could very easily live in a traditional space. It's great looking.
The sofa comes flat-packed on a large palette (at least in our case). It can be difficult to get it inside if you're working in any tight space because the box is the size of a mattress...bound by metal bands to the palette that have to be cut off with something substantial. Once open, I was impressed with the fabric and frame quality. It's SOLID.
The only knocks that I have against it are 1) like most adjustable futons, you have to put it all the way flat and then come back up if you want to adjust it to a lower setting, and 2) the fabric maintains small indentations where you sit or press down, which can be smoothed out, but are more pronounced than other furniture I've owned.

Comments about Innovation Unfurl Sofa Bed:
I was able to assemble myself, although had help flipping it onto its legs. The materials are all high-quality. I got the brown fabric which looks fantastic and promises to hide dirt and minor (dark-colored) stains. The Unfurl clicks into its 3 positions easily (you do have to lay it flat first, so you need space for this). The springs make it truly bed-like in comfort, and incredibly comfortable as a couch, for sitting or lying down. I do prefer a firm mattress for sleeping, but it is not hard as I feared it might be, just comfortably firm. I love the clean modern lines. I was looking for an armless sofa, which I think makes it more flexible. The kids use pillows for armrests. We've only had it a few weeks, but no signs of sagging, bumpiness, or other such issues; this is a quality sofa.
Service and delivery comments:
It arrived in 2 weeks, much earlier than I expected! Excellent condition. Delivery guy was a bit surly on the phone, but otherwise no issues. I have to say, Smart Furniture has it *down* with the free shipping and returns. I would NEVER have bought a sofa on-line otherwise. I typically am a budget-shopper; this is much more than I have spent on furniture. But I went for quality, reading up on Innovation and other info on the site. The guarantee that I would not eat the cost of shipping and return made it possible for me to pull the trigger. And Innovation came through with a product I knew immediately that we would keep and enjoy for a long long time. I called Smart Furniture once, before the sofa arrived, and the staff who answered was exceptionally personable and knowledgeable. I am impressed, and have recommended Smart Furniture to many friends already.

Q:I was pleased to see the excellent reviews but none of the reviewers seemed to be using the sofa bed on a daily basis for sleeping. Do you think this would hold up to daily usage? Thanks!Asked on 1/25/2016 by Natalie from Richmond, VA
1 answer
A:It would definitely hold up but might not be the very best comfort option. This mattress is 7" thick and may not make this the best bed for an every night sleeper. This would be a great guest option for 2-4 nights at a time. Innovation makes the best sleeper sofas out there, but I would look for one with a 10" thick mattress.Answered on 1/28/2016 by Natalie from Smart Furniture

I have a requirement for converting and saving an image in CMYK format. When i have uploaded an image of RGB format, then i need to convert it to CMYK. Is it possible in .Net? Thanks
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I don't know the first thing about .Net but I saw a web site where you can perform free RGB to CMYK conversions on your image files up to 5mb. You get a choice of numerous CMYK profiles. For U.S. commercial offset printing, I would recommend GRACoL2006_Coated1v2.icc and for magazine/web offset I'd use SWOP2006_Coated3v2.icc
There is no native CMYK support in .NET. You will need a third party library or service, or to write your own. It's not exactly simple to convert an image to CMYK, and each purpose will have different requirements, so you really need to define the requirement better in order to decide which method to use.
Edit: The sidebar had a link to a previous question that had some answers: Convert RGB color to CMYK?
As others mentioned .NET does not natively support image colorspace adjustments.
However, ImageMagick is excellent free software suite that will alow you to do this using the -colorspace or -profile option.
The .NET library that will allow you to tap into ImageMagick is conveniently named ImageMagick.NET, it can be downloaded from Codeplex...
You can do this with ImageMagick for .Net, called Magick.Net. You can install it via Nuget, and it's free.
Color profile conversion is pretty confusing in Magick.Net. You might wonder if it's
See also https://magick.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Convert%20image
This has been answered here: .NET TIFF file: RGB to CMYK conversion possible without a third party library?
And I believe that answer came from the discussion here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfxbcl/thread/0a4fecba-6212-4e72-9e10-7874c6327e7a/
But that answer is limited to outputting in tiff format.

Genetic analysis and medical follow-up services for breast and ovarian cancer risk among Israeli women in the Middle East are highly developed. Comparable services for other women in the region were not available, however until the initiation of the Middle East Breast Cancer Study (MEBCS) in 2007 with support from BCRF. BCRF has been a continuous sponsor of the MEBC, the goal of which is to provide genetic counseling, analysis and follow-up services to women of all ancestries in the region.
The MEBCS is directed jointly by Ephrat Levy-Lahad, MD, of Shaare Zedek Hospital and Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel; Mary-Claire King, PhD, of the University of Washington, Seattle, USA and Dr. Kanaan. The MEBCS is a sister project of the New York Breast Cancer Study (NYBCS), directed by Dr King, and the Israel Breast Cancer Study (IBCS), directed by Dr. Levy-Lahad, which are also sponsored by BCRF.
As of this year, the MEBCS has enrolled 1000 breast cancer patients of Palestinian and Arab-Israeli origins and has completed genomic analysis comprising BRCA1 and BRCA2 and more than 30 other known and candidate breast cancer genes for 400 of these patients. In more than 10 percent of the young-onset and familial patients, they have identified the inherited mutation responsible for their disease. These mutations appeared not only in BRCA1 and BRCA2 but in a total of 11 different breast cancer genes.The observation supports the hypothesis that breast cancer has many different genetic causes and therefore that studying this population will enable discovery of new genes underlying breast cancer in women from all parts of the world.
In parallel, the researchers are establishing a comprehensive infrastructure for breast and ovarian cancer genetics services on the West Bank with clinical, laboratory, and bioinformatics capacities. They are providing genetic counseling and testing for breast and ovarian cancer patients at Augusta Victoria Hospital in East Jerusalem and at El Hussein Hospital in Beit Jala, a major breast cancer referral center on the West Bank. Laboratory and bioinformatics capacities at Bethlehem University are growing with development of genomic sequencing capacity.
Dr. Kanaan is a Professor of Molecular Genetics in the Department of Life Sciences, Faculty of Science at Bethlehem University, Palestine and Director of the Bethlehem University Hereditary Research Laboratory (HRL), which he established in 1992. Over the last 18 years his laboratory has been investigating the genetically isolated Palestinian population and its high rate of genetically-based diseases, with a focus on hereditary hearing impairment (HHI).
Dr. Kanaan's laboratory uses current approaches in genetics, genomics, cell biology and biochemistry in studying inherited hearing loss in a large extended Palestinian cohort and has contributed to profiling a broad spectrum of novel mutations in many genes known to cause hearing loss. His current project with Ephrat Levy-Lahad and Mary-Claire King builds on his prior work and will focus on the mutation profiling of breast cancer in the a high –risk Palestinian population. Dr. Kanaan is recognized as a leading Palestinian geneticist. He has many publications to his credit and is a recipient of many research and scientific awards. He has participated in many international research efforts and scientific networks.
