X-FAB Releases First 0.18 Micrometer Foundry Solution for Integrated Hall SensorsErfurt, Germany, 六月 10, 2009.
X-FAB Silicon Foundries, the leading analog/mixed-signal foundry and expert in "More than Moore" technologies, today announced the industry's first foundry process for the production of integrated Hall sensor ICs in 0.18 micrometer technology. Its 0.18 micrometer low-power CMOS process, known as XH018, allows the combination of Hall sensor elements with high-voltage devices and Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) options. This capability augments the industry-leading analog/mixed-signal capabilities inherent in the XH018 process, enabling cost-effective and energy-efficient System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions.
X-FAB's customers gain the many advantages that Hall effect sensors have over traditional mechanical and reed discrete devices. Silicon-based contactless implementation of Hall sensors improves reliability and durability by virtually eliminating mechanical wear. These sensors enable high-precision measurement and analysis of magnetic fields.
X-FAB's 0.18 micrometer foundry technology for Hall sensors enables the sensing element to be integrated on the same chip as its control logic and interface circuitry. Due to its small geometry resulting in high integration density, high magnetic sensitivity can be achieved with minimal parasitic effects. On a test chip with a sensor size of 50 by 50 square micrometers, X-FAB has proven a magnetic sensitivity of up to 360 V/(A*T) with high linearity.
Hall sensor technology has been replacing conventional sensing techniques in many applications. X-FAB's Hall sensor foundry offering is ideal for a variety of applications including magnetic field measurements, position control, speed detection, contactless switches as well as position and angle sensors. System costs for such applications can be substantially lowered with X-FAB's integrated approach due to lower part count, simpler assembly, and higher reliability.
X-FAB's XH018 technology for integrated Hall sensor solutions is available today. It comes with comprehensive design support including characterization data and layout examples.

Recently, the Colorado State Patrol has been made aware of a phone scam taking place in the El-Paso County area in which victims will be called by someone claiming to be a State Trooper who directs them to send them funds or face lawsuits, criminal prosecution, arrest, or incarceration.
At times these callers can be very convincing by giving the victim their badge number, asking the victim to call another (fictitious) Trooper at another number, referencing other law enforcement agencies, and referring the victim to other legitimate web-sites (such as the financial crimes enforcement network) to lend credibility to their claims. In most instances the callers become very aggressive in these claims and demands in an attempt to intimidate their victims into complying with their orders.
Members of the public should understand that the Colorado State Patrol does not engage in debt collection practices or investigations that would lead to the direct solicitation of funds.
If you receive a call like this, please call the Colorado Springs office of the Colorado State Patrol at 719-635-0385 to verify that the person calling is in fact a Colorado State Trooper or other law enforcement officer.

Char of Grand Junction, CO - April, 22 2011:
This boot is super durable and comfortable. It is good for aggressive terrain. Price is high but this boot is definitely worth the money. It will last a long time.Rob Newcomer of Shasta Lake, CA - July, 29 2012:
Don't know about these boots. Felt great at home. Wore around house 20 days, 5 miles on elipticle, 3 miles on treadmill 1 mile on 10 incline. Half mile uphill in Trinity Alps on 13 mile hike half dollar size blisters on back of both feet and one pulled hamstring from compensating at the end of hike. Sportsmans just said sorry. I get that but $340 later felt a little jipped. Would not buy them again.Jason of Redmond, OR - October, 23 2014:
So far I have only been wearing these boots around town and the house getting them broken in to my feet. First impressions are VERY VERY comfortable. I got them to replace another brand of boot that I had to send back 3 TIMES due to manufacturer defects. I can not wait to get these boots out on the trail.Blacktail Slayer of Coos Bay, OR - February, 01 2015:
These boots did not need any break-in time for myself. They were the most comfortable boots I have ever owned and have kept my feet dry for 4 years now. I'm amazed at how long these boots have lasted with with all the use and abuse I put them through. I'm a wildlife tech that works out in the woods in western Oregon all day long. We get an insane amount of rain every year along with hot summers. This boots are also used for all my hunting, scouting, any hiking I do from in the sand on the beach to up in the mountains on backpack adventures. The price seemed high to me before I bought my boots but well worth it. There was not a single pair of boots that didn't have to be replaced every year with the amount of time I wore them and the I put them through. That is not even close to the case with these boots. No need to look any further for a boot that could last a lifetime while also keeping your feet dry.Bret of Bend, OR - February, 19 2015:
Most people seem to write reviews of products before they have had adequate time to test it. This is not the case with my review. My job has me hiking through forests and deserts around the country approximately 6 months out of the year, so I tend to fork over the money for a quality pair of boots. With Kenetrek, I was a little hesitant based on the price, but had heard they were good. They call these boots the "hardscrabble," which is quite funny considering that when I sent them in for repair they told me that I needed their heavier duty, more expensive boot for what I was doing, because these are not designed for extremely rocky terrain or traversing talus slopes. Well....then change the name to trail-scrabble and cut the price in half, because I can buy a pair of Meindl boots for nearly half the price and they will hold up far better. Ultimately, the stitching was popping out on both boots in less than a year, and the leather is prone to chunk out of the side walls...not to mention that the soles wear down extremely fast. The boots are fairly comfortable, and I think if they put a polyurethane coating over the stitching, used a more hardened leather that is more durable, and used a better sole material that would actually hold up over time, these would be pretty good boots....but still substantially overpriced! To top it off, their customer service is awful! To be fair, their customer service ladies are very nice, but I definitely can't say the same for the manager of their warranty department. Aside from all of these issues, when you spend $400 on a pair of boots, the soles should hold up. If they don't, you shouldn't have to pay $75 to get them replaced! I can buy a $200 pair of boots and never have the soles wear out, so when I spend double that, I expect quality that will last. Perhaps you are thinking that my boots represent one faulty pair of boots. Well, my coworker sent his back in less than 6 months because the soles were falling apart.Gruff Goat of Missoula, MT - March, 10 2015:
I absolutely love these boots, I have 2 pairs of Kenetreks now and can't say enough good things about them. Tough as nails and super comfortable, once you put them on you'll never want to take them off. After reading some of the other reviews I had to laugh. Bret in particular seems to have an axe to grind, and it makes you wonder when half his information is incorrect. For instance, in 2015 the resole fee is not $75, it's $150 and you can request a harder Vibram sole. I bet he called in demanding freebies like a welfare queen and they told him to stuff it. Personally I like the softer rubber because when I'm 20 miles out in the backcountry I like knowing that my boots will have traction; it can be the difference between a successful hunt and a broken leg. I love my Kenetreks, I maintain them properly and after 3 years when it was time to have my boots resoled I sent them in for repairs and bought a pair of Mountain Extremes. If you are looking for the best boots on the market, look no further.

Reasons I loved being a Mom this Week....
2. Because my children LOVE learning. I found Luke sitting at the table practicing his letters all by himself and it brought a smile to my face.
3. Because these freckles are DANG CUTE!
4. Because Lila has the best big brother's ever! (Although judging by the look on Lila's face, she doesn't quite know it yet. haha)
5. Because I had an Army of toys protecting the upstairs of my house this week. They weren't letting anyone walk through without some serious pain applied to the bottom of your foot. Whatever you do, don't accidentally step on the Stegosaurus hidden in the back. OUCH!
6. Because my children always have a sense-of-humor and aren't afraid to display it in Old Navy or any other public place.
7. Because I get to enjoy Daddy/Son moments.
Mark brought home some seriously cool rocks from work and was teaching Andy about them. He even let Andy chisel away at one to uncover what is in the inside.
These are what you will find inside. They are called Pyritohedron. I can't believe these things form perfectly inside rocks. Pretty awesome stuff!
What did you enjoy about being a Mom this week?

GreatSchools Rating
We have not assigned a GreatSchools rating to this school, due to incomplete or unavailable data.
The GreatSchools rating is a simple tool for parents to compare schools based on test scores, student academic growth, and college readiness. It compares schools across the state, where the highest rated schools in the state are designated as "Above Average" and the lowest "Below Average." It is designed to be a starting point to help parents make baseline comparisons. We always advise parents to visit the school and consider other information on school performance and programs, as well as consider their child's and family's needs as part of the school selection process.

LaneHawk™ LH4000 Solution
LaneHawk™ LH4000 is a loss prevention solution that turns the bottom-of-the-basket (BOB) into profits in real-time. The LaneHawk LH4000 unit detects and recognizes items as part of the transaction, making sure stores get paid for their BOB items.
The LaneHawk LH4000 unit reduces shrink, increases revenue and is designed to pay for itself in less than 12 months.
A smart camera is flush-mounted in the checkout lane at foot level, continuously watching for items on the bottom of shopping carts. Using Visual Pattern Recognition (ViPR™) software, the camera is able to detect and recognize items that pass by the camera and then send the UPC information directly to the POS. At tender time, the cashier verifies the items that were found under the basket, scans those items and then finalizes the transaction.
ViPR™ Software
A database of high resolution images (called a modelset) is created containing the product packaging of common BOB items. ViPR extracts key points (feature points) from these images that create a unique identifying pattern for each UPC, similar to a fingerprint.
When a product passes the LaneHawk LH4000 unit, an image is captured of the product and the ViPR software is used to extract feature points from that image. The ViPR software is then able to identify the product by matching the pattern of feature points in the image to the patterns of feature points stored in the modelset. These computations are streamlined to produce results in a fraction of a second, which allows the recognition to happen in real-time.
The request is sent correctly

- "Dardan ain't a problem for you no more, cousin."
- ―Niko Bellic.
Bleed Out is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is given by Roman Bellic.
Roman calls Niko right before Michelle and Niko have their date (the call will usually occur when Niko is within a few blocks of Michelle's place). Roman says he is being injured by some Albanians in the basketball courts in Firefly Projects. Niko arrives promptly and fights off the first wave of Albanians, Bledar Morina and Kalem Vulaj. Roman spots another Albanian getting away, Dardan Petrela. Dardan gets into his car and escapes the basketball courts. Niko and Roman get into Roman's Taxi and chase Dardan. Both cars stop near a staircase in BOABO. Niko chases Dardan solo, and kills Dardan in a fight. Niko Bellic then drives Roman back to his cab depot, and tells him about Ray Bulgarin. The mission then ends.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go and rescue Roman.
- Beat up Bledar.
- Beat up Kalern.
- Go and help Roman.
- Chase Dardan.
- Dardan has abandoned his car. He's escaping on foot up the staircase.
- Take out Dardan
- Get in Roman's car
- Drive Roman to the garage.
The Phone Call
As the player nears Michelle's place for his first date, Niko's cousin calls to ask him for help; the Albanian Mafia loan sharks have him trapped on the basketball courts in the Firefly Projects. The player can choose to either ignore this call completely (in which case the above is not heard), decide to ignore Roman's call for help and continue with dating Michelle, or skip the date and attend Roman (if this happens Niko will later apologize to Michelle and will have another chance to date her).
If either of the first two options are chosen, following the date with Michelle Niko receives an angry phone call from Roman telling him to pick him up at the hospital and drive him to the taxi depot. This adds an extra task, but is not considered part of a mission (i.e. there is no reward for doing this). Soon after returning Roman to the depot, Niko will receive another phone call from Roman indicating that Roman is under attack (again) at which point the mission proceeds as it would have had Niko skipped the date earlier.
Fighting Bledar and Kalem
The player must follow the radar blip to the basketball courts. Upon reaching the basketball courts, Bledar approaches Niko, while Kalem continues to beat up Roman. An onscreen tutorial walks the player through melee combat techniques. The player must defeat Bledar and then Kalem in hand-to-hand combat. As Niko approaches Roman, a cutscene shows Dardan who runs away.
You may also pick up the baseball bat in front of your safehouse (you could find it in the weapons map). You can beat up Bledar and Kalem with this weapon in the mission or you may also ram through the fence with the vehicle you have and run them over.
Fighting Dardan Petrela
After fighting off Bledar and Kalem, Dardan waves and get's in his car(beige Willard). Niko and Roman enter Roman's taxi and chase Dardan. The chase leads eventually leads to BOABO, where Dardan stops, gets out, and flees up a flight of stairs into a large room, bordered by floor to ceiling windows. When the player enters the room, Dardan will draw a knife and attack the player. At this point, the game provides instructions on how to disarm an enemy, prompting the player to take Dardan's knife and use it against him. The player can also simply beat Dardan until he crawls over towards a window; hitting him again will trigger a small cutscene in which Dardan falls through the window, onto an overhang, and into the Humboldt River, though the fight is considered over even if this doesn't happen; Niko is considered to have won if the on-screen instruction to return to Roman's car appears. Whichever method is used, once Dardan is dead/disabled, Niko must return to Roman, and drive him back to the cab depot.
Video Walkthrough
After the Mission
After completing this mission Roman will begin contacting Niko periodically, asking him to go on friendship activities with him.
- Bledar Morina - Killed by Niko for attacking Roman.
- Kalem Vulaj - Killed by Niko for attacking Roman.
- Dardan Petrela - Killed by Niko for threatening Roman.
- If the player chooses to continue the date with Michelle, Roman will be beaten up and sent to hospital. The player will have to go to the hospital and give him a lift back to the cab depot.
- Whilst after Dardan, you can take the Crockett Ave and drive straight without needing to follow his car because the road you take leads to BOABO where he'll stop his car. It's far easier than following his path, which could cause you to run into walls, objects or scripted traffic accidents.
- Dardan in particular can be dealt with in multiple ways: The player can simply beat Dardan up, shoot him, seize his knife and use it against him, or push or kick him out of a nearby window, triggering a cutscene of Dardan falling to his death in the Humboldt River. If the player kicks Dardan out the window, Niko will express dismay that he had to kill again against his own promise after arriving at Liberty City.
- When parked by the taxi at the beginning of the mission, Dardan's car is invincible, even to RPG, and the player cannot drive it.
- The whole traffic during the chase is scripted (as are numerous other missions in the game). The vehicles seen in the traffic are not random: a Bobcat, two Marbelles and two Vigeros are seen in Crockett Avenue, two Mananas, one Marbelle and a Vigero in Mohawk Avenue, a Manana, a Marbelle and a Bobcat in Bart Street, a Bus, one Vigero and one Marbelle in Delaware Avenue, two Merits, three Yankees and five Marbelles in southern Mohanet Avenue, two Marbelles, one Merit and a Trashmaster in Chicory Street, and one Marbelle and a Pony in northern Mohanet Avenue.
- During the mission when you are chasing Dardan with Roman and his car, if Dardan has a significant lead on you, Roman will sometimes shout something along the lines of "He's got a broken arm, and he's still out-driving you!"
- During the fight with Dardan, he wears a blue and grey undershirt under his jacket, however when is is kicked out of the window, the cutscene will sometimes show him wearing the white undershirt he wore in Three's a Crowd.
- It is possible for Dardan to survive if beaten to low health then repeatedly nudged into walls, railings and down the stairs to injure him (this will ensure he survives and that you don't accidentally beat him to death). Niko will simply say "There's what we owe you Dardan, nothing else". Dardan will then either lie on the floor breathing, or get up and limp away. It is unconfirmed whether this changes anything in the game, even dialogue seems to remain the same, albeit with Niko's satisfaction that he didn't kill Dardan.
- If you abandon Roman's Taxi it will trigger a cutscene of Niko and Roman getting off a Bus, which cannot be used as public transportation during gameplay. This suggests that the player could take bus rides in the beta. The game otherwise won't allow you to leave in another vehicle, such as Dardan's car. Depending on how much damage was done to Roman's car during the chase, abandoning it may be the only option.
- It is possible to kill Dardan with a drive-by before he reaches the stairs if you are quick enough. You can only do this while he's out of his car.
- It is possible for two Roman's Taxis to exist in this mission. Just simply go to the basketball court in Roman's Taxi. However, after you have completed beating up/ killing Dardan's goons, the Taxi you had originally came in will have disappeared.
- It is possible to kill Dardan during the chase itself. You must get close to his car and then shoot it enough times for it to catch on fire. When it does, Dardan will fly out the door, hurt, but alive. Finally, shoot or run him over to finish him off.
- There is a mission in Saints Row 2 with the same name, although it is a lot different from this mission. In this one, you have to beat up the Albanians and chase and kill the main target. In SR2, the protagonist walks into an ambush by a rival gang, and defends his friend until help arrives. Then you have to blow up persuing vehicles with an RPG.
- If the player takes Crockett Ave instead of following Dardan, he will drive extremely fast to keep ahead.
- If the player kills Roman without attacking Bledar or Kalem before the cutscene, they will walk off like nothing happened. Also, if you target them, the health bar will appear red on both of them, however if you get close to them or attack them they will not fight back or run away. They will act as if nothing happened. Killing them will also not affect the storyline.
- There is a glitch where when the player punches Dardan and then he falls out of the window, he will sink into "blue hell", but Niko will act as if he killed him.
- There is a somewhat rare glitch where Bledar will be next to impossible to defeat. Even using guns, it takes numerous headshots to kill him. Another glitch that accompanies this is that Roman may inexplicably die while you are fighting the thugs. It is unknown what causes this.
- This mission introduces the melee combat system, along with melee weapons. It also marks the first storyline murders of the game.
- Once of four comments will be made after dealing with Dardan, each depending on how the player chose to stop him.
- If the player beats him up or shoots him, Niko will say "There's what we owe you, Dardan. Nothing else."
- If the player kills him by throwing him out the window, Niko will say "Argh! I promised myself I wouldn't kill people here."
- If the player disarms Dardan and uses the knife against him, Niko will say "You shouldn't play with sharp objects, Dardan."
- If the player manages to perform a drive-by on Dardan after he exits his car, Niko will not say anything, but Roman will quip "Wow, thank you cousin."
- While Niko is fighting Kalem, Kalem mentions that Dardan is his brother. This is odd, since they dont share the same last name, which means they where likely either half brothers or that Kalem just thought of Dardan as a brother.

Other criteria scholarships
Above: Students studying at Brookens.
Make a Difference for the Following Students at UIS
For CITU Members, Their Spouses, or Dependents:
Central Illinois Typographical Union Local 177 Scholarship
For Working Students who Attend Part Time:
Sarah B. Towery Scholarships
For UIS Staff Members, Their Spouses, or Dependents:
University of Illinois at Springfield Staff Scholarship in Memory of Mike Love
Thank you for your interest in giving to scholarship funds that highlight students across the campus. If you want to add your gift to one of the following scholarship funds, you can give safely online or by mail to our office. Thank you!
For CITU Members, Their Spouses, or Dependents: Central Illinois Typographical Union Local 177 Scholarship
The Central IL Typographical Union Local 177 (CITU) Scholarship was established March 1, 1995, by the members of the Central Illinois Typographical Union. Eligible applicants will be dues paying members, or the spouse or dependent child of a dues paying member of the CITU. If the primary pool of applicants is exhausted, dues paying members, as well as their spouses and dependent children, of the CWA affiliated unions and AFL-CIO affiliated union will then be considered for this scholarship award.
For Working Students: Sarah B. Towery Scholarships
Sarah Towery was a determined, independent young woman who liked to stand on her own, even as a child. At 24-years of age, she was a full-time office manager at an engineering firm, part-time student, and just five classes shy of a business degree and international relations minor from UIS. Tragically however, in 1999, Ms. Towery and her boyfriend were killed by a drunk driver in a head-on collision. The driver was also killed. In May of 2000, Sarah's degree was conferred upon her posthumously. The Sarah B. Towery Scholarship was established in 1999 by her parents to honor her memory. The annual award seeks to assist a student who demonstrates the same drive and vitality that Sarah exhibited in her lifetime. Eligible applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0. While no other criteria is required, preference is given to those students who are attending UIS part-time while working full-time.
For UIS Staff Members, Their Spouses, or Dependents: University of Illinois at Springfield Staff Scholarship in Memory of Mike Love
Being an employee of the University of Illinois at Springfield not only provides a great place to work but also an opportunity to further one's education. To that end, the UIS Staff Scholarship has been helping UIS employees with the expense of higher education since 1994. The scholarship was the brainchild of UIS (then Sangamon State University) employee, Michael Love. In a special recognition during the 5th Annual Civil Service Appreciation Day on September 22, 2011, the Staff Scholarship at UIS was renamed in memory of Mike Love. Love was a former UIS employee who was very passionate about the scholarship. Love's family was presented with a special plaque of recognition. The Staff Scholarship was started in 1995. A total of 23 people have received the scholarship, with a total payout of $27,000.

Event Description
Part of Publish or Perish, Kiel Johnson
Illustrator and sculptor Kiel Johnson visits MCA to discuss his work and his experiences as an artist.
Kiel Johnson's drawings and sculptures tell tales; layered narratives speak of his travels and adventures through everyday life. His works become a springboard for metaphorical investigations of the world he inhabits. Although both factual fictions and absurd scenarios, they are ultimately testaments to observation that force us to question the concrete and truthful. What at first might appear safe and secure will be, upon further inspection, very precarious.
Kiel Johnson (b. 1975 in Missouri) received his MFA at California State University, Long Beach. He has received prestigious awards and honors including the Pollock-Krasner Grant, Durfee Foundation ARC Grant, and the CSULB Outstanding Creative Achievement Award. He has had solo exhibitions at the Taubman Museum of Art (Va.), Irvine Art Center (Calif.), and the Creative Artists Agency (Calif.), in addition to group inclusion at the McNay Museum (Texas), Torrance Art Museum (Calif.), Huntington Beach Art Center (Calif.), and the University Art Museum, Long Beach (Calif.). His work appears in several important public and private collections including the Creative Artist Agency (Calif.), Tubert International (Calif.), Steve Martin Collection (N.Y.), Todd Oldham (N.Y.), and Sprint World Headquarters (Mo.). Johnson currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

I am cut and pasting this little tantrum to the forums to expose the kind of poor sportsmanship being displayed in our arena's.

Got a hold of Rubys emerg exam papers...questions for you
Okay, I checked over her paperwork that the emerg clinic emailed me. Theres two things I wanted opinions on.
Her tonometry results were
Pressure in OD (right eye) is 28mm repeat since high variation, on repeat it was 26mm
OS (left eye) was 19mm
Now, she told me her right eye was still within normal limits but I am reading normal is up to 25mm. She explained that her increased pressure could be from the ulcers on her eyes and the irritation. The notes also said Scope: retina NSF, Chambers clear, Iris a bit irritated but OD has no precipitates, surface of OD has two focal spots--rule out scarring, active ulcer.alert att, nice dog.. EENT WNL except OD is sclera congested, resists exam here, conjunctivae and third eyelid
inflamed, normal palpebral and menace, PLR. (not sure what the resists exam means as I never resisted anything)
rule out scarring, ulcer, immune/KCS, early glaucoma, anterior uveitis (mild)
infectious, sequestrum etc.
Now, her Schirmer test for her tears
OD (right eye) was 14mm in 1 minute
OS (left eye) was 17mm in 1 minute.
Vet paper work said both eyes were WNL (within normal limit) but, having Lincoln who has dry eye as well as Pannus/Plasmosa in both eyes I have experience. 10-14mm in 1 minute is borderline dry. 15mm and up is normal tear production and 10mm and below is severe dry eye.
Now, the diagnosed on the form was:
She only gave me a bottle of Tobrex for her corneal ulcers. Never gave me anything for the other condition
My questions are...
Should I push to re test her tears production and treat if its 14mm and below? because this is her second round of ulcers in 3 months. If her eye is dry, that could be whats causing it. She does get a lot of hair in her eye so that could be taking away moisture but I do my best to clean her eyes twice daily.
Pretty sure the "resists exam" is not you, but that Ruby wasn't thrilled with them messing with her sore eye. The episcleritis is likely because of the corneal ulcer, not really a separate issue, so should resolve when the ulcers resolve. I would have her pressures and schirmer's retested once the eyes are healed.

|The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to IowaGold For This Useful Post:
MikaTallulah (12-28-2012), Sally's Mom (12-28-2012)
Anyway, for the pressure, I cannot do that for another month or so because my clinic does not have the equipment to do so and in order for me to have to do that I would need to get it done at a clinic who has one. They would want me to pay an exam and the test so thats going to be about $200 to do. So that one may need to wait a bit. The vet said her chambers or whatever in the eye were clear and looked good and that she said it likely was not glaucoma and it could be the inflammation from the ulcer. Will call around to see what vets carry the thingy to test for that.
When I go in next week I was planning on retesting her tears and check the ulcer with the stain. If her tear test falls between 10mm-14mm again should I push to treat it as dry eye?
I would recheck once her eye is healed. I hope Ruby is back to normal soon.
I do what I like and like what I do. Yorkies- Cozy (4/1/06), Roxy & Zoey (2/11/08), Lucy (4/6/09); Golden- Buddy (4/13/09- Rescued 12/11) Maine Coon cats- Mika (1998) and Tallulah (2000)
GOLDWIN's Buddy Got Wiser CGC . Future AKC Therapy Dog
I agree, treat her for dry eye if it is in that range....

What about her IOP? It was 28mm but the second time was 26mm. She does not show other symptoms of glaucoma. Her eyes are clear etc. She said the iris was a bit irritated. I did find a clinic that was willing to just allow us to use their tonometry pen to recheck her pressure and charge only that so $80. But we still dont have the money for that for at least another month. We will be paying $50 to redo the eye stain and tear test, plus we need another $55 to recheck her liver values and possibly an additional $66 to test for Cushings. Then any meds additional. So I need to figure out whats priority and whats not right now .
Frequently ulcers are related to dry eyes...

What I understand from what I was taught is that "normal" tear production for an at risk breed should be higher than a breed not at risk. So where 15 might be considered fine for one of my Goldens, you might like it to be higher in a bulgy eyed shih tzu(for example).

In December 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took several steps to improve the safety of dietary supplements. These steps included:
In its letter to manufacturers, the FDA pointed out that in recent years the agency has received nearly 300 reports of tainted products and numerous complaints of injuries — including stroke, organ failure and death. The three most common categories of tainted dietary supplements are:
Five major supplement trade associations have joined with FDA on its safety effort. I applaud them, but wonder if this is it enough?
I realize that there are several sides to this story. Some take the view that government regulation is heavy-handed, and that regulating supplements will reduce availability and cause prices to sky rocket — and there will still be safety issues. Some take the side that manufacturers have been given too long to police themselves and that they have not been successful — more regulation is needed. Yet others will take the tact that personal responsibility is paramount — akin to "what you take is what you get."
In my opinion, all three groups have responsibilities in this matter. The FDA is on the right track in keeping the manufacturers of supplements accountable. However, more power to regulate may be needed. Manufacturers must also work to ensure that their products and safe and effective.
And just as important — consumers need to take personal responsibility for knowing and understanding the risks and benefits of using supplements. Responsible use includes informing your doctor and other healthcare providers about any supplements you use. So, one of your New Year's resolutions should be to bring a complete list of the supplements you take to your next appointment.

Selecting "Submit" signifies that you have read and agree to our posting guidelines.
The "accountability" headline caught my attention. I have understood that the system for reporting side effects of pharmaceuticals is somewhat voluntary in nature. That concerns me more than natural supplements. I welcome comments from doctors.
Your so right Lori, Our Doctors,for all their years,and years of education cna not council us on proper nutrition. There is a vast wealth of information pertaining to the role of vitamins,and minerals in our "body chemistry" This information is found at nih.gov/dietary suppliment fact sheets. providing our body with the vitamin,and minerals we need will go a long way toward preventing many diseases,and medical conditions.
Of all the concerns in medicine today, supplement problems is low on the list. There are MANY more ppl affected by hospital error in medication using pharmaceuticals! Nutrition and supplementation are two areas lacking in doctors' banks of knowledge and this ommission is a travesty. The threat by our govt.to citizens' rights to choose (supplements/herbs) should concern every American. On a side note, I'm disappointed to read the article about CHF and find not a single mention of the use of supplemental CoQ10, a well known benefit to those even in end stage CHF. It's time for mainstream medicine to step it up and focus less on pharmaceuticals and more on preventative health and natural remedies that don't come with a basketful of side effects.
The following steps that have been pointed out by the FDA are very helpful, especially when it comes to choosing diet supplements that we are buying. It also show if the store where we are about to buying from is legal and licensed.
Asea- does anyone have any experience with this product?
I was diagnosed with Low CA level 8.4 and Vitamin D I was told to supplement with 1200 mg Ca and 1000 mg Vitamin D. How long does it take to see results in weight loss and depression and fatigue?
I read with interest your article on phenylalanine; it has been a migraine trigger for me (studies show other individuals as well) for years, yet this potential side effect is both under-reported and never part of a warning label on aspartame containing foods. I'm always surprised to see it considered so "safe" compared to other artificial sweetners...I avoid it, and wonder how many others could avoid headaches triggered by aspartame as well, if they only were aware. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
It is scary that you don't always know what you are getting. Even with regulation, this still can happen. Many prescription drugs have been recalled lately. Yes, they were eventually discovered but it just goes to show that it can still happen. However, I do agree that more regulation is needed but it is going to take alot of time and resources to get to that point. In the meantime, you can find more information on dietary supplements and the brands that have been tested and used in studies at naturalstandard.com.
I'm concerned because my LDL is too high. A friend
said she lowered hers by taking an OTC product sufficiently not to have to take a statin prescription.
I found the product at the grocery/drug store & didn't see any ingredients that seemed like they'd do that.
It's a well known brand, but.
I am in total agreement about regulatory practices for supplements. Here in Canada our federal government is also taking steps in the same direction. I want to know when I buy a product and some of them are very expensive, that all steps that could be taken were done to protect me.

Anthony Dasher
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Tavarres King swears he has no idea if A.J. Green is going to forgo his senior year at Georgia and apply for the NFL Draft.
Conventional wisdom suggests he probably will. But whatever his decision, as King prepares for Friday's AutoZone Liberty Bowl game against UCF, he says it won't affect the way he plans on preparing for the upcoming fall.
"I don't know what his plans are, but regardless of what he does I'm going to try and prepare myself to be a marquee guy for this offense," said King. "After the season is over, I'm going to sit down with the coaches and try to figure out how I can help this team a little more, to hopefully put us back on the map."
In his first two years, King has slowly been making steady strides.
After catching 18 balls for 377 yards as a redshirt freshman, King made 23 grabs for 471 yards and three touchdowns heading into Saturday's contest.Green believes King has the ability to play a bigger role.
"T.K. can step up, no question," said Green, who roomed with King this year for road games. "He can definitely be one of our leaders and I know he will step up if I decide to leave."
King said he would love to use Friday's game against UCF as a positive next step.
"I'm still growing," King said. "Last year was my first full season and even though I made a couple of plays, I also left a lot of plays on the field. This year, I've tried to eliminate the bad plays and dropped passes, things like that. I've felt I've done a decent job but it's still a learning process. I'm looking forward to seeing how I can continue to grow next year."
If Green does as many expect and leaves for the greener pastures of the NFL, the Bulldogs will certainly be depending on King more than ever before.
With second-leading receiver Kris Durham graduating, King, Marlon Brown, Rantavious Wooten, Israel Troupe and Logan Gray will be the only receivers back with any experience, although freshman Michael Bennett has been wowing teammates with his scout-team work for most of the year.
"He's been making plays since he got here," King said. "He's an athlete, a very, very good athlete. He kind of reminds me of Kris (Durham), another White Lightning because of the way he goes to get the ball. He's definitely a guy I can see making plays next year."
The Bulldogs currently have commitments from three receivers - Christian Conley, Justin Scott-Wesley and Devin Bowman.
However, depending on true freshmen to make an immediate impact can be a ticklish situation for sure.
Just ask King, who conceded confidence remained somewhat of a problem until this year.
"In college, confidence is everything. In high school, you have that swagger from Day One," he said. "But in college, you have to get that back and the only way to make that happen is to go out and make plays."
King said his confidence actually began to grow during practice and not in an actual game.
"It was all about going out and making plays on the ball and in scrimmages, taking hits and just being tough about it," King said. "Once you start doing it in practice, you can just carry it over to the field which was fun."
Now, it's a matter of perfecting the lessons he's learned.
"You've got to be real consistent in this offense," King said. "At this position, it's all about being precise and that's what I've got to do to try and become a more consistent player."
NOTES: Georgia participated in its first of three practices at the Memphis University School on Monday morning as the Bulldogs prepare for the AutoZone Liberty Bowl versus No. 24 UCF on Friday, Dec. 31. "This school is a nice place," said head coach Mark Richt. "We were looking for a practice facility and a school that also had a place for us to eat and this has been great. We knew it could rain or snow so we looked for a facility with a quality turf field. It's nice here and I think the best option for us." ... Richt discussed the Bulldogs' running game. "Washaun Ealey and Carlton Thomas will carry the load for us and could get up to a combined 25 or 30 carries," said Richt. "This is a great opportunity for them since Caleb (King) and Shaun (Chapas) will be out." ... Sophomore tight end Arthur Lynch, a native of Dartmouth, Mass., is still trying to get to Memphis after being delayed because of inclement weather. Redshirt freshman cornerback Jordan Love, a native of Glen Allen, Va., arrived during the first period of Monday's practice after also experiencing weather delays. ...More...

Authorities say they think a 25-year-old man killed his girlfriend, then turned the gun on himself outside a home in Wake County.
Investigators said Jennifer Callighan was found dead inside the home around 10 a.m. Friday, and her boyfriend, Kyle Miller, was dead outside.
Neighbors told deputies that Miller was firing at Callighan as he chased her outside the home south of Garner. The witnesses say they heard about seven shots.
State records show Miller was convicted in October of assault on a female and violating a domestic violence protective order and was serving 18 months on probation. It wasn't clear who the victim was in that case.

text: Back in 1992, the Die Hard franchise was only at two installments, with John McClane (Bruce Willis) having successfully defending the Nakatomi building and stopped a rogue counter-terrorist unit from an airport — both on Christmas Eve. Also in 1992, Ben Stiller had yet to break out as a movie star and was working on his own show, The Ben Stiller Show, which was canceled by Fox after 12 episodes yet went on to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing the following year. To say the show was before its time would be an understatement, one that is underlined by the re-discovery of a Die Hard 12 sketch (via The Playlist), which sees Stiller stopping terrorists during a regular visit to the grocery store. It may have seemed ridiculous at the time, yet, years later, Willis would surf a military jet in 2007's Live Free or Die Hard and fight terrorists in Moscow in this month's A Good Day to Die Hard.

State officials say there are now 307 summer meal sites in the state, up from 242 last summer.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ A federal program that provides low-income schoolchildren with free meals during the summer has for the first time expanded to every Maine county.
Angela Wight, Summer Food Service Program coordinator for the state Department of Education, says there are now 307 summer meal sites in the state, up from 242 last summer.
She tells The Portland Press Herald that this summer the program established in 1978 has expanded for the first time to Knox, Lincoln and Hancock counties.
The program is open to the 85,000 Maine students who get free or reduced-price breakfasts and lunches during the school year. Wight says only 16 percent of the students who qualify for free and reduced-price meals during the school year use the summer program.

24-hour information line: (970) 498-5770
Residential hazardous waste is accepted from Larimer County residents at no charge. All other qualified waste may be accepted through our BHAPE Program (Business Hazardous Waste Assistance Program and Education) for a fee. Call (970) 498-5760 for more information on the "Be Happy" Program. BHAPE
Household hazardous waste (HHW) is any substance containing ingredients that could negatively affect your safety, health or the environment. Signal words found on hazardous products include poison, danger, warning and caution. They can be found on a wide range of products, including furniture polish, bleach, antifreeze, insecticides, paint, mothballs and much more.
Also look for indications of hazardous properties on the label. Such properties are defined by the Environmental Hazards Management Institute as follows:
Dumping unused portions of household hazardous wastes in the trash or down the drain can cause safety and environmental problems. If buried in the landfill, chemicals can react and cause explosions or make their way into the groundwater. While the county strictly monitors the landfill's groundwater and gas emissions, and acts quickly to rectify any problems found, it is much easier to prevent such problems from occurring in the first place by properly disposing of or recycling hazardous wastes.
So please act responsibly! Bring your unwanted HHW to the county's hazardous waste collection facility at the landfill. It's free for all Larimer County residents!
MONDAY, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (Closed to the public Wednesday)
8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Larimer County Landfill
5887 S. Taft Hill Road
Fort Collins, CO 80526
Bring your household chemicals in non-leaking, labeled containers that can be left at the facility. Pack your waste upright in boxes. No garbage bags nor large containers such as trash cans full of waste. This is unsafe for you and the staff if waste leaks and mixes. Do not bring containers larger than 5 gallons in size as they will not be accepted. The HHW staff and manager reserve the right to refuse waste that is unacceptable, unsafe or not a typical residential waste. If you have commercial waste, please see the business waste section.
The County opened the Rocky Mountain region's first permanent household hazardous waste collection facility in 1989. Since that time, more than 17 million pounds of household hazardous wastes have been diverted from the landfill. The Collection Facility is located at the Larimer County Landfill south of Fort Collins on Taft Hill Road, or north of Loveland on Wilson Ave. See map.
Please keep in mind these are only a few examples. If you have questions please call (970) 498-5771. All household batteries are accepted but it is required that the ends of the batteries are covered with tape. This minimizes the risk of fire when the batteries are in transit.
Larimer County reserves the right to refuse any material that is deemed unacceptable by the managing site staff.
Used oil is accepted at the Larimer County HHW. Motor oil, transmission fluid, and gear oil can be bulked together and used as burner fuel in some industrial applications. To prevent contamination of this commodity, An HHW technician must now screen all motor oil before it goes out for energy recovery. For this reason the oil drop of is no longer self service. Customers who wish to dispose of used oil must bring their oil in 5 gallon containers or smaller. If a container is larger than 5 gallons in size it will be rejected. If you would like your container back after it has been emptied you will be asked to wait or come back the next day to retrieve your container. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping this commodity uncontaminated and usable.
Car batteries are also accepted for recycling at the landfill any time during regular landfill business hours at no charge. They should be taken to the Hazardous Waste Facility.
Household batteries such as nickel cadmium,lithium batteries and button cell batteries should be taped on each end or on the contacts and brought to the collection facility. Alkaline dry cell batteries, or flashlight batteries, should also be taped on both contact ends and brought to the HHW facility for recycling. Any type of tape may be used as long as the tape sticks and staff can read what the battery chemistry is. Each different chemistry such as alkaline, lithium, etc. will be sorted into different waste streams for recycling. For this reason, only batteries of the same chemistry type should be taped together.
Fluorescent bulbs, including compact fluorescents, contain mercury and should not be thrown away in the trash. Instead, bring them to our facility during regular open hours and we'll recycle them properly. Businesses with bulbs for recycling must handle them in a different way. Please check here for information regarding business recycling of bulbs. the process Also, read these guidelinesfor what to do if a fluorescent bulb breaks. Check this list for other convenient recycling options for compact flourescent bulbs.
The hazardous waste facility accepts used hypodermic needles from county residents who self-medicate. Many people throw used needles–often called "sharps"–into their regular trash. Unfortunately, this disposal method puts landfill and trash hauler employees at risk from needle sticks. Instead, we encourage county residents to bring used sharps to our facility on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays only between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. No fees are charged. Sharps must be brought in an OSHA-approved sharps container, which can be purchased from most local drug stores. Needles brought in any other containers or loose needles will not be accepted.
County residents can drop off over-the-counter medications at any time during regular hours. Residents are encouraged to watch for announcements of periodic "take back" events held typically twice a year by local police departments and the D.E.A. Recent research is finding that some medications disposed of by flushing down toilets or drains may have harmful effects on fish and other aquatic life, so dispose of pharmaceuticals responsibly.
The Drop 'N' Swap is a favorite among County residents. Through the Drop 'N' Swap, we offer usable, low-toxicity products under our "Buy none, get one free" policy.
Here's how it works: Say you need about half a gallon of latex paint, a little bit of copper cleaner, just enough pesticide to kill a pesky patch of weeds, and camp stove fuel to get through the weekend. Chances are we have all these items and more. Just stop by the Hazardous Waste Facility, pick up what you want, and let us thank you on the way out.
About 30,000 pounds of hazardous household products are reused through the Drop 'N' Swap program each year, keeping them out of the landfill and out of groundwater. The best way to dispose of chemicals is to use them up as they were originally intended to be used, which is just what this program does. And, of course, it's free!
The Drop 'N' Swap is open MONDAY, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Do not leave any items on the ground or outside the building when the facility is closed.
The Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility offers tours to the public. Schools, boy/girl scout troops, businesses, or anyone else who may be interested in finding out more about the operation may call (970) 498-5773 to set up a tour of the facility.
For more information on hazardous wastes call (970) 498-5773 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) projects that the percentage of Black veterans will be "significantly higher than other minority groups" as well as "the largest portion" of all veterans of color, and Black female vets account for 20 percent of women veterans. Still, there are too many Black veterans unaware of their benefits, says the Black Veterans of America (BVA). Next week it launches the Bridge Builder Project, a series of nine sessions throughout the Twin Cities to be held during August. "We saw a need and took action on it," said BVA Executive Director/Founder David Hall, Jr. August 2 at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. His organization advocates for Black male and female veterans and their families, as well as working with homeless and incarcerated veterans in the Twin Cities area. Continue Reading →

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome may occur after using injectable hormone medications during in vitro fertilization (IVF), a treatment for infertility. Injectable fertility medications stimulate the development of eggs in the ovaries, but it can be difficult to tell exactly how much medication you might need.
Too much of the hormone in your system can lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), where your ovaries become swollen and painful. A small number of women may develop severe OHSS, which can cause rapid weight gain, abdominal pain, vomiting and shortness of breath.
Less often, OHSS happens during fertility treatments using medications you take by mouth, such as clomiphene. Occasionally OHSS occurs spontaneously, not related to fertility treatments.

- "If you like redheads, ask for Ros."
- ―Theon Greyjoy
Ros is a recurring character in the first and second seasons. She is played by guest star Esme Bianco and debuts in the series premiere. Ros is a prostitute and renowned beauty. Originally working in a brothel at Winterfell, on the eve of the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings Ros relocates to the capital city of King's Landing, where she finds employment at the high-class brothel of Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish.
Ros is a prostitute in a brothel in Winterfell's outlying town. She has drawn the attention of the young nobles of Winterfell including Theon Greyjoy and Jon Snow. Theon is a regular customer while Jon is not. Jon once paid Ros for her time but did not have sex with her because of a pang of conscience over the possibility of fathering a bastard when he has suffered being a bastard himself.
Season 1
Ros is shown entertaining Tyrion Lannister shortly after his arrival at Winterfell. She informs Tyrion that the whorehouse was especially alerted to his imminent arrival, though by whom is not revealed.[1] When Tyrion is returning from the Wall, he stops at Winterfell. Believing the Lannisters are responsible for Bran's fall, Robb denies him Winterfell's hospitality. When Tryion is leaving to go stay in town, Theon Greyjoy recommends Ros to Tyrion, unaware that Tyrion is already acquainted with her. Tyrion promises "not to wear her out". At Castle Black, Jon Snow and his friend Samwell Tarly talk about having never been with a woman. Jon says that he once had the opportunity to have sex with a prostitute who was young, gorgeous, with red hair and indescribably prefect breasts. He never says Ros' name directly. Jon ultimately declined to have sex with Ros, due to his fear that if he fathered bastard children of his own, as a bastard himself he would have nothing to offer them.[2] Theon sneaks Ros into his chambers. He notices that she is wearing a Lannister lion pendant and she tells him that it was a gift from Tyrion. He becomes angry when she insinuates that Tyrion is a superior lover and that his family's honor is suspect due to the failed Greyjoy Rebellion. When he refuses to pay for the encounter, Ros suggests that he gets a wife instead, infuriating Theon further.[3]
Theon is surprised to see Ros sitting in the back of a turnip cart. She tells him she has decided to leave Winterfell to seek out employment in King's Landing, and is planning to get a ship from White Harbor. He unsuccessfully tries to persuade her to stay, but she points out that, with war coming, all the men will be marching away and there is nothing for her here. Theon throws her a coin, and she laughs and lifts up her skirt one last time. Theon reluctantly says he'll miss her, and she agrees that he will.[4]
Arriving in King's Landing, Ros finds employment at a brothel owned by Littlefinger. He tutors her and another prostitute, Armeca, in the art of seduction. Ros learns that Littlefinger is infatuated with a woman who was betrothed to a man who injured him in a duel, but she later married the man's brother. However, it does not appear that she recognizes the woman in the story as Lady Catelyn Stark.[5]
Ros's services are employed by Grand Maester Pycelle in King's Landing. As she gathers her clothes to leave, Pycelle begins to tell her about all the kings he has served, eventually his ramblings fade and she becomes impatient, questioning him about the original point of his speech. She leaves, frustrated.[6]
Season 2
Ros watches two new prostitutes in Petyr Baelish's brothel practicing their art. She repeats Petyr's advice to ease into the act slowly and with passion. She tells the new employees to wash and dress for work that night before walking away. She is followed by Daisy, who she instructs in the merits of their upmarket brothel. She greets Lord Orson who is passing with a young man as she tells Daisy that they cater to a higher class of customer than she was used to in Haystack Hall. Daisy watches Armeca leading a client away. Ros notes that Armeca pretends not to speak the Common tongue in order to seem exotic and reveals that she actually grew up in Flea Bottom. Daisy says that Armeca is beautiful but Ros is dismissive of her colleague.[7]
Lord Commander Janos Slynt enters with several of his men. Ros greets him with familiarity. More goldcloaks enter with a bloodied prisoner and Janos snaps his fingers at his men who begin to search the brothel. Ros reminds him that Petyr is the establishment's owner and Janos cites orders. Ros wonders who the orders came from and Janos tells her only that they are from someone who doesn't care what Petyr thinks. Mhaegen is dragged into the room, holding her baby Barra (one of Robert's bastards). Janos looks at his prisoner who nods recognition. Janos then signals one of his men who takes the baby from the sobbing Mhaegen, draws his knife and then hesitates. Janos tells his man to kill the baby and then does it himself when his subordinate cannot, horrifying both Ros and Mhaegen.[7]
Ros is still visibly upset about the death of Barra. She is so distraught that she falls apart in front of a client. Lord Petyr Baelish comes into her room and she confides in him. However, Baelish compares her to a beautiful girl he purchased from a Lyseni pleasure house for an exorbitant price. The girl was so sad Baelish gained no money from her and he sold her to a Lord who wanted to "transform" her, a man who derived pleasure from things most men would find unthinkable. After this lesson, when he asks Ros if one day off will make her smile again Ros smiles and assures him it will. [8]
Tyrion Lannister, on the suggestion of Bronn, hires Ros and Daisy as a present for his nephew King Joffrey Baratheon. Tyrion hopes this will make the sadistic Joffrey more mellow. They wait for him in his chamber. When he arrives Ros wishes him a happy name day and then reaches for his crotch. He flinches and then instructs Ros to touch Daisy. He asks if Ros can hit Daisy and she spanks her gently. Joffrey asks if Tyrion sent them and Ros says that Tyrion chose them himself. Joffrey takes off his belt and gives it to Ros to use. He forces Ros to hit Daisy hard enough to make her scream. He hands Ros a stag's head sceptre and she protests that too much pain will spoil the pleasure. He loads his crossbow as Ros warns him that his uncle might find out. He tells Ros that he wants Tyrion to find out and orders her to take Daisy to Tyrion's chambers to show him what has happened or she will also be beaten. He aims the crossbow at Ros and orders her to begin, as Daisy screams.[9]
Ros is captured by Queen Regent Cersei Lannister, who mistakenly believes that she is Tyrion's lover (as a result of the Lannister pendant Tyrion gave Ros in Winterfell). She has Ros beaten and kept prisoner. She plans to use her captivity to force Tyrion into keeping Joffrey safe, believing that Tyrion is plotting to kill him. When Cersei says that she has his whore, Tyrion - thinking she has the dark-haired Shae - remarks that he thought she preferred blondes, but it is red-haired Ros that she has brought in and displayed beaten to him. Cersei explains that she will kill her if harm comes to Joffrey while he mans the city walls, as Tyrion plans. Tyrion plays along to maintain the secret that Shae is his true lover, Ros does the same. Tyrion vows to free Ros and she begs him not to forget her.[10]
Some time after the Battle of Blackwater Bay Ros was freed, and is then visited by Varys, though she doesn't realize who he is until she discovers his eunuch status. Varys gets Ros to admit she's afraid of Littlefinger, and tells her that unlike her current employer, he protects those who work for him. [11]

- Daisy
- Armeca
- Mhaegen
- Varys (informer)
Some of the highest lords and not-so-high lords in Westeros have been customers of Ros, including:
- Tyrion Lannister

In the books
Ros does not appear in A Song of Ice and Fire, and is the first character created specifically for the show. However, some fans have speculated that her role is based on the "red-headed whore" who appears very briefly in the first novel. This is strengthened by the fact that Bianco was originally announced as playing "Red-Headed Whore". She was originally only supposed to appear in the first episode at Winterfell when Tyrion visits the local brothel. According to the episode's Blu Ray commentary, the producers were impressed with Bianco's performance, particularly that even though the shooting location was freezing cold at the time of her nude scene, she acted through it and gave no hint of discomfort due to the temperature in her performance. Ros' role grew as Season 1 went through production, and as it became a recurring role, author George R.R. Martin suggested that her character should be given a name.
Loosely speaking, Ros does stand in for, or act as a condensation of, several different prostitute characters that existed in the books. For example, in the books Cersei does imprison a prostitute that she thinks is Tyrion's lover (although his actual lover is Shae), but it is a different character named Alayaya, the daughter of Chataya, the woman who owns the whorehouse. The entire subplot involving these prostitute characters was cut from the TV series, and Ros functionally assumes this role in the story.
Martin has stated that he intends to work the character into later books in the series, probably as a throwaway cameo just to tie her presence into both the series and books.
