Consumer, payer, and provider demands for better information to guide decision making, compliance regulations like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and complex medical data processing needs have renewed the importance of information management in the healthcare industry. IT systems, especially data infrastructures, in most healthcare organizations cannot scale to meet the data management needs of medical practitioners, who now require the ability to access complex and large data objects like MRI scans and other patient records over distributed networks. Furthermore, the popularity of consumer-defined health plans and increased online processing of claims and services are placing increased demands on IT Web infrastructures with a consequent need to scale and maintain a high quality of service.
The GemFire Enterprise Data Fabric and its constituent products provide a robust data management platform that can aid healthcare IT systems in streamlining information delivery to multiple consumers, enhancing online service offerings. GemFire's caching and data distribution mechanisms can reduce repeated access to slow backend systems for accessing large, complex patient record objects and can manage data close to the point of use. Such an infrastructure also improves data exchange between the different members of a healthcare ecosystem like payers and providers.
The hardest data management problems in the world?
We solve them.

Apple and squash blend together to make rich and delightful slow-cooked bisque garnished with sour cream.
Sour cream will break down and curdle if it is heated too long or becomes too hot. After adding the cold sour cream, cook the bisque just long enough for it to reheat. If you use reduced-fat sour cream, add it the same way.
For a delightful taste treat, serve this bisque thoroughly chilled. Garnish with thin slices of Granny Smith apples and a sprinkling of finely chopped crystallized ginger.
Spoon a dollop of sour cream on top of each serving, then swirl slightly into the soup with the tip of a knife. For a touch of crunch and color, sprinkle with poppy seed or chopped pecans.

Newman gives President's Lecture, April 10
Posted April 6, 2006; 03:44 p.m.
Katherine Newman, the Malcolm Stevenson Forbes, Class of 1941,
Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs, will present the final talk
in this year's President's Lecture Series on Monday, April 10.
The talk, titled "School Shootings: Why Terrible Things Happen in 'Perfect' Places," will begin at 4:30 p.m. in 101 Friend Center.
Newman joined the Princeton faculty in 2004 after eight years at Harvard. Her research focuses on work and mobility, class cultures, urban poverty and violence. She is the author of seven books, including "Rampage: The Social Roots of School Shootings" (2004), which she wrote with four doctoral students. The book examines the rash of school shootings in the 1990s and draws on original fieldwork in two communities -- Jonesboro, Ark., and Paducah, Ky. -- three years after they suffered from some of the worst episodes of rampage shootings. The book explores the roots of school violence and the repercussions for the communities years later.
"The media tends to depict school shooters as loners who react spontaneously to bullying with extreme violence," said Newman. "The truth is much more complicated. Communities and schools are often blind to the warning signals that a tragedy is on the way, and kids who know about the shooters' intentions do not come forward. Sociological perspectives help us understand why."
The lecture series was initiated by President Tilghman in 2001 to bring together faculty members from different disciplines. Newman's talk will be Webcast; for viewing information, visit WebMedia Event Streaming.

The unique FinanceAcar comparison engine has listed the best XF 4dr Saloon 2.0d R-Sport car finance deals above for both business and personal JAGUAR buyers. These prices have been calculated for you by locating the cheapest price for the car (from dealers) and matching this with the lowest monthly finance price (from top UK lenders) to give you an unbeatable monthly price. Our comparison engine has ranked the least expensive financing option by monthly payment first and this cost includes a full manufacturer's warranty as well as the delivery charges to your door from a main JAGUAR dealer.
These deals are sourced by FinanceAcar comparing dealer car prices nationwide and combining the cheapest of these with the lowest car finance prices offered by top UK lenders. The typical car leasing option, such as PCH, can be the most cost effective for drivers seeking a car for a 2 - 3 year period who then want to update it without having to do a part-exchange, however, not all car buyers want to do this. For those who plan to own a car for more than three to four years, a PCP or hire purchase deal may be more appropriate. Check out the benefits and considerations of leasing in our section on car finance options. FinanceAcar is also able to provide cheap XF 4dr Saloon 2.0d R-Sport Car Loan or Hire Purchase prices.
FinanceAcar are specialists in locating some of the cheapest leasing deals for JAGUAR XF in the country. The new XF 4dr Saloon 2.0d R-Sport lease deal detailed above has been compared and sourced from a pool of top UK lenders and is based on a compelling car price from a leading UK dealer. Just browse the JAGUAR deals comparison data above and select to continue.
The low prices you see listed above for personal contract hire (PCH) and 4dr Saloon 2.0d R-Sport PCP are two of the most popular car finance solutions for non-business (personal) JAGUAR car buyers.
For personal JAGUAR car buyers, we recommend our cheap PCH and JAGUAR PCP deals also ranked above according to the size of the monthly payment.
For businesses, a JAGUAR XF 4dr Saloon 2.0d R-Sport contract hire deal is a very popular form of cheap finance when supplying company cars due to the tax benefits, no depreciation charges and the ease of a flat monthly fee. Many businesses also offer employees a company car (such as the XF 4dr Saloon 2.0d R-Sport) in exchange for a salary sacrifice, enabling employees to enjoy personal tax benefits.
1. approximately 8 in every 10 new cars supplied by dealers are not bought with cash but are actually funded by a monthly payment using car finance?
2. comparing a car finance deal quoted to you by a dealer with other alternatives can save you thousands of pounds?
3. the four major types of car finance are car leasing (either PCH or business contract hire), PCP, hire purchase and a personal loan;
4. the most popular car finance product provided by UK dealers is PCP (UK Finance and Leasing Association) where you pay a monthly price for 2 to 5 years after which you have the option to buy the car?
5. you can use the web to choose a car, add your options, apply online for finance and have your car (with a 14 day cool off and full warranty) delivered to your door by a dealer?
You can learn more by reading about the pros and cons of personal car finance options or business car finance options or use our FAQs.


text: Hey guys I'm not a collector of the new Masters of the Universe line but I've noticed a few of you are. I was wondering if anyone knew what the deal is with the chest emblem variant on the new He-Man figure? I found a few with the original cross emblem but most of the others had the new updated emblem on them. Lee's doesn't have a listing for them in their price guide but ToyFare said that they were rare and lists them at $50. I usually don't rely on ToyFare for much and have found their info. questionable at times so I figured someone in these forums might know more about this.

oscar in trouble
my Oscar has had HITH and was treated, several times in the last 6 months, all of the lisions are cleared up on both oscars, except the large one in the center of the head but it looks better, July fourth weekend i moved them both to a 150, my red Oscar was cool for the first month and then stopped eating,for the last week has been on the bottom not moving, today she started tilting, she is very week and dosn.t really make eye contact. I moved her to my 75 gallon the tank she was in, and she is just laying in the net. what can i do. salt bath, leave her alone, medicate, she may only have 24-48 hours, can't load pic, its to large 1.11 MB
Assuming the water is brand new in the 75g,there is anything you can do but see how she is over the next few days.
How long ago did she last eat?
Make sure there is sufficient aeration also...
Make sure some of your filter material is seeded and keep a very close eye on water parameters. You may need to do daily WCs to keep things in check. Also what are you feeding the fish?
What is generally thought of as HITH is primarily caused from nutrient deficiency and poor water quality. The addition of Omega 3s and Vitamin C is shown to help improve the condition in combination to diet improvement. Selcon is an excellent food soak for this purpose. Now it is also possible that what your fish has is caused by the Hexamita parasite...to general human observation distinguishing the two is really not accurate as symptoms mimic and is usually a process of elimination. For the sake of the fish I would also treat for Hexamita. Do a combination treatment of PraziPro and Metro+. If the fish is still feeding use the Metro+ as a food soak...it is very effective used internally.
Also if you just recently moved the fish lying on its side is a common Oscar thing known as "sulking".3x75 gallons|2x55 gallons|2x50 gallons|3x40 gallons|1x29 gallon|1x10 gallon

GRAND CHUTE - Deerfield and Potosi had their seasons end in the semifinals of the WIAA State Baseball tournament in Grand Chute Wednesday.
In Division two, Deerfield took a 1-0 lead on Westby on an RBI single by Blake Ehrke in the fourth inning, but that would be the only run the Demons would score in the game.
Westby scored single runs in the fourth and fifth to take a 2-1 lead and ended the game when shortstop Alex Robson made a diving stop on Sean Erickson's line drive to get a force out at second.
Deerfield ends its season with an 18-5 record.
In Division Four, Potosi fell behind 5-0 in the first inning and never recovered. The Chieftains lost to Lake Country Lutheran 12-0 in six innings in the semifinals.

Well how about a little update. She is growing like a weed and is really "active" haha. She is pretty well house broken and knows sit, come, and we are working on others. One problem is that apparently she is a terror with my fiancé. She bites her clothes chews on cables and eats everything. For me all I have to say is leave it or no bite and most times she listens to me. However, with my fiancé if she bites her and she does the lip pinch she just comes back harder for more. You think she is not pinching hard enough? Does she not respect her? When she gets really crazy with me I hold her down and lay over the top of her (not putting any weight on her not trying to crush her) until she calms down. You guys have any ideas? The good thing is she is doing real well with retrieves and drop it.
The puppy is finding out the pecking order of the house. YES she thinks your fiance is the timid one. Tell your fiance to be more assertive or the pup will never respect her.

We finally decided on Lucy Louisa or Lucy Lu for short or Lucy for even shorter haha. I call her Lucy or Lucy Lu. Lucy is my fiance's grandmothers name so she couldnt turn it down ha. Its fun because now she is 9 weeks old and she picks up things so much faster than just a week ago. She fetches brings it right beck to me and drops it on command. One thing she still doesnt like is stairs. she can go up stairs although sometimes she sits at the bottom and whines until she gets the courage to go up. At home we have 3 steps down to the back door landing. The steps are hardwood so they are a little slippery. She will go up the stairs but she will not go down so we have to work on that. I dont want to force her to go down because she goes to the back door to go outside and I dont want to discourage that.

Historic spring runoff
■ Yampa River at Steamboat Springs
Highest peak runoff: 6,820 cubic feet per second June 14, 1921
Lowest peak runoff: 1,080 cfs May, 15, 1970
Earliest peak runoff: 5,790 cfs April 26, 1974
Latest peak runoff: 5,260 cfs June 25, 1983

Lowest peak runoff: 3,620 cfs June 5, 1977
Earliest peak runoff: 6,900 cfs March 16, 1966
Latest peak runoff: 9,730 cfs June 19, 1949
Data unavailable for the Yampa River where it flows south of Craig.
Source: Colorado River Basin Forecast Center
Steamboat Springs The Park Range running along the Continental Divide just east of Steamboat Springs was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the wet April snow pattern that has boosted — as of May 1 — the snowpack in the Yampa River basin to 94 percent of median for the date.
The neighboring North Platte River basin, which also drains the Park Range, stands at 102 percent of median, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
The Conservation Service reported Monday that the unseasonable amount of snow that accumulated in the Colorado Rockies in April boosted statewide snowpack from 74 percent of median to 83 percent of median.
"Those wet storms really improved our water supplies, especially along the Front Range and Upper Colorado River basin," state conservationist Phyllis Ann Phillips said in a news release.
And more precipitation is on the way. Weather observer Art Judson reported Tuesday morning that 0.26 inches of rain had fallen in Steamboat in the preceding 24 hours. That bought the May total to 0.92 inches compared with the average of 2.24 inches for the month. The National Weather Service in Grand Junction was predicting a chance of showers for Steamboat and Craig through Friday. Although overnight lows in the mountains are expected to drop below freezing, little snow accumulation is anticipated.
April typically is a time when snowpack, the moisture content in the snow, is in decline, according to the Conservation Service. Typically, snowpack peaks about April 10 and spring runoff follows soon after, but this year, peak snowpack was not reached until April 24.
A scarcity of April moisture in the southern mountains dragged down the statewide total. As of May 1, the Rio Grande basin snowpack stood at 41 percent of median, and southwestern basins including Dolores and San Juan stood at 43 percent.
The fact that the Yampa River continues to flow well below the median for the date indicates it might peak later than usual this year. The Yampa was flowing at 2,760 cubic feet per second just below Craig on Tuesday morning compared with a median flow for the date of 3,180 cfs. At the Fifth Street Bridge in Steamboat, the river was flowing at 879 cfs compared with the median of 1,260.
The Colorado River Basin Forecast Center expects the river in Steamboat to rise above 1,000 cfs Wednesday and remain in a stable daily cycle until about Monday, when it could begin to reach daily peaks of 1,300 to 1,400 cfs.
The Yampa below Craig is expected to rise more significantly toward 4,000 cfs this week, touching that threshold Friday and remaining at that level or slightly higher through May 17, according to the Forecast Center.
The Forecast Center reports that the Yampa in Steamboat typically peaks at about 3,070 cfs May 19.

A big man never looks down on others.... instead, he is someone to look up to.
Would it be advisable to start with a soft paint roller during the beginning stages of hold then work in a bumper as dog progresses or just start out with a bumper. His teeth are all there but have just came up in the last few days.
Paint rollers work vey well for the entire process but also use bumpers wooden dowel rods birds or bumpers wrapped in bird wings and anything else you may want them to fetch in the future. Making sure that they have been forced on all retrieving items can help ensure the force was done completely. Good luck

Binghamton University's Class of 2007 continues tradition of excellence
Approximately 2,278 freshmen and 738 transfers arrive on campus Thursday, August 28, to begin their first semester as Binghamton University students. They will be joined by upperclassmen who begin arriving Friday, August 29. The first day of classes is Tuesday, September 2.
This year, the University again received a record number of applications. Freshmen applications were up 4 percent over last year, to 19,069 from 18,315. Transfer applications received totaled 2,268. In addition, graduate applications were up 5.8 percent to 3,456 for degree programs, the highest number ever. Binghamton's total applicant pool, including transfer and graduate students, was approximately 24,793.
BU continues to be highly selective, accepting only 44 percent of its freshmen, up from 42 percent last year. National figures indicate that 90 percent of U.S. colleges admit more than 90 percent of their new student applicants. BU is one of the few schools in the country admitting less than 50 percent of its applicants for freshman admission.
Binghamton's Class of 2007 also continues to rank well above the national average in SAT scores. Of those who have indicated that they will be coming to BU, combined SAT scores range from 1230 or higher, which is about 200 points about the national average.
Binghamton University currently carries the highest rating among the SUNY university centers in the "most selective" designation. More than 70 percent of the freshmen class meets the designation, which is based on SAT scores and high school averages as defined by the SUNY System.
The mean high school average for the entering freshmen class also remains high and is consistent with last year's figure of 92.
The majority of Binghamton students continue to come from New York state. About 88 percent of freshmen and transfers are in-state residents. Of the total number of incoming students, 24 percent are from New York City, 22 percent from Long Island and the remainder from upstate areas. Of all new students, both freshmen and transfers combined, 10 percent are from Broome/Tioga communities. The 12 percent out-of-state students represent 20 states.
As in past years, the class mirrors the state's diversity. Thirty-two percent of the entering class represents minority groups. Of that number, nearly 19 percent are of Asian background, followed by Hispanic/Latino at 7 percent, African American at 5 percent and Native American at .1 percent.
Over 300 new international students will attend BU this year. Of those, approximately 65 percent are graduate students and 35 percent undergraduates. The most popular countries represented are India, China, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Turkey. The incoming international students represent 45 countries, including Yemen, Tajikistan, Cote d'Ivoire and Barbados.
Growth at the graduate level is steady with both domestic and international applications showing gains. Domestic applications are up by 7 percent while international applications are up by 4.8 percent. Much of the increase in applications and anticipated enrollments can be attributed to new programs, such as the master's of social work (MSW) program, which is accepting its first class this year. In addition, master's and doctoral programs in the Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science continue to drive interest in mechanical engineering and related fields, while programs in art history, English, political science, clinical psychology, public administration and nursing show notable increases.

<rant>Has anyone else noticed how little innovation there really is in the free software community? I mean, I was browsing sourceforge last night for projects, and realized i could be:
- Creating a new IRC client
- Creating a new Napster|Gnutella|Freenet client
- Writing a new window manager
- Working on a massively multiplayer OpenGL space/fantasy 3l33t RPG.

United Natural Foods (UNFI) was jumping 13% this morning after the company's better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings report and a bullish note from Canaccord Genuity.
The company reported earnings per share of 65 cents, ahead of the 60 cents analysts were expecting, while revenue rose 22% to $1.64 billion, squeaking past the consensus $1.63 billion.
The company said it expects to earn between $2.40 and $2.50 a share for the full year, while the Street is modeling for $2.49; however its revenue guidance, a range of $6.65 billion to $6.78 billion beat the $6.61 analysts had forecast.
Analyst Scott Van Winkle already had a Buy rating on the stock, but today raised his price target by $5 to $68, writing that the company should see strong top- and bottom-line growth, given recent positive trends in the organic category and United Natural's dominant position in distribution in the sector.
The Q4 results fully supported our investment thesis and reflected trends in sales growth and gross margin that are incrementally better than recent trends. Q4 delivered solid upside vs. expectations even after excluding a $0.03 tailwind from a reversal of prior deferred rent, indicative of strengthening channel trends and strong execution that delivered gross margin improvement. The gross margin improved 50bp sequentially and was up YOY for the first time in recent memory despite a continued shift away from the highest-margin channel (independents). Organic growth of ~12% is consistent with industry trends, while a notable 100+ bps acceleration post quarter suggests that momentum is building quite nicely. The early Q1 commentary is consistent with what we have heard from bellwether Whole Foods Market (WFM), which forecasted comps would accelerate in August through quarter end, as well as recent strength shown by other leading natural and organic players. That said, UNFI's current acceleration gives us confidence that the natural and organic sector is incrementally strong.
However, at recent check, the share were already trading above his $68 price target.

...be passed immediately, as I predicted, the gun control nazi's would still be working in the shadows, as this story illustrates. As they are intending to do, they will keep as much of their agenda 'under the radar'. Vigilence is imperative. Stop listening to the lefties on this board, and start getting active, or you'll be a member of the losers, much like the Canadians that got blind-sided with their gun laws.
From: Date: Saturday, July 11, 2009, 11:22 AM
HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009.
This is Obama gun control by secrecy.
Please send this to everybody on your list...
Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced into the House. This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009. We just learned yesterday about this on the Peter Boyles radio program. Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because it is flying under the radar.
To find out about this - go to any government website and type in HR 45 or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009. You will get all the information.
Basically this "little" piece of legislation would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:
It is registered .
You are fingerprinted ..
You supply a current Driver's License .
You supply your Social Security # .
You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing .
Each update - change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25 - Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail.
There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision. Guns must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18.
The Government would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison.
If you think this is a joke - go to the website and take your pick of many options to read this..
It is long and lengthy. But, more and more people are becoming aware of this. Pass the word along.
Any hunters in your family - pass this along.
Peter Boyles is on this and having guests. Listen to him on KHOW 630 a.m. in the morning. (written for Colorado gun owners)
He suggests the best way to fight this is to tell all your friends about it and "spring into action". Also he suggests we all join a pro-gun group like the Colorado Rifle Association, hunting associations, gun clubs JPFO (JEWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP) and especially the GOA and NRA...
This is just a "termite" approach to complete confiscation of guns and disarming of our society to the point we have no defense - chip away a little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone realizes it.
This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not.
The Second Amendment... . America 's original homeland security!!

ORLANDO - San Francisco head coach Mike Singletary, a pretty good linebacker in his day, believes Karlos Dansby is going to take his game to another level with the Dolphins.
New defensive coordinator Mike Nolan is a big reason.
Nolan knows linebackers, said one of the greatest to ever play the position.
Thats his forte, Singletary said this morning during the NFC coaches breakfast at the NFL Owners Meetings.
Singletary, who coached under Nolan with the Ravens and 49ers, expects Dansby to go from a good player to a game-changer under Nolan.
Nolan wants inside linebackers with Dansbys size (6-4, 250) and wide range of skills. Singletary expects Nolan to inspire Dansby to do things he didnt do during six seasons with the Cardinals.
Hes very solid as a football player, Singletary, an eight-time All-Pro and Hall of Famer with the Bears, said of Dansby. I think theres some things that maybe he can do that maybe he hasnt shown as much. Im not sure how often he blitzed when he was at Arizona.
I can guarantee you that Mike is going to get the absolute best out of him. He has the blitzing ability and Mike is going to ask him to do it more.
Singletary ended his Hall of Fame career 1992.
When he returned to the game as a coach, he learned the ropes from Nolan in Baltimore.
Singletary coached linebackers in 2003-04 when Nolan as the Ravens defensive coordinator and Ray Lewis, Peter Boulware, Adalius Thomas and Terrell Suggs were Pro Bowl linebackers.
Singletary became Nolans assistant head coach and linebackers coach when he left for San Francisco in 2005. In 2007, the 49ers drafted Patrick Willis, whos been to three straight Pro Bowls.
The thing about Mike Nolan is he has a tremendous work ethic, Singletary said. Hes very bright in terms of looking at personnel and he really gets deep into personalities and really tries to utilize the personalities on the defenses, making sure those guys who have the talent, he lets them know, Hey, Im going to call your number.
He will challenge a guy to be the best he can be.
Dansby has been a productive player, but never a Pro Bowler even though hes now the highest-paid inside linebacker in the game.
Nolan should help Dansby earn it.

Make your trip to Columbia an explosive one with this guide from the team at Irrational Games.
Booker DeWitt is a man who owes favours, and to wipe his slate clean, he's tasked with rescuing a young woman named Elizabeth. Sounds straightforward enough, until you realise that Elizabeth is imprisoned in the semi-mythical floating city of Columbia. What's more, a terrifying mechanical jailer known as Songbird watches over her.
It sounds like you'll need some inside information to fight your way through this city in the clouds. Luckily, you can get some expert tourism advice from the architects of Columbia, Irrational Games.
Take hold
Possession is a very powerful tool, so be sure to upgrade it early and use it to force humans to fight for you. This distracts any other foes in the area and also rids you of the enemy that you possessed - they cease to exist when the effect wears off.
Put Vigor traps on the ground and walls, and lure foes into them by backtracking and holding a position behind them.
Double impact
Pair your Vigor abilities up for greater impact. Devil's Kiss paired with Possession turns one of your foes into a walking firestorm, spreading flames onto all of your immediate enemies.
A bird in the hand
Use the "Murder of Crows" Vigor against close-combat enemies. This Vigor slows them down and distracts them, so you can punish them from a safe distance.
Scavenge for success
Always check searchable containers for valuable goods that will restore your Salts and Health levels.
Rifle reserves
Make sure that at least one of your weapons has a large ammo supply, or that it is a weapon that is often dropped by foes. This is the best way to make sure that you don't run out of ammo at crucial moments.
Monitor the madness
Don't always move straight into a fight. Some battles feature warring factions that will eliminate each other, so you can wait until they thin each other out before you engage what is left of them.
Honour in retreat
If you are overwhelmed by enemies, do not be afraid to run away, recharge your shield, regroup, and resupply. Playing carefully will lead to less frustration in the long run.
Everything in its place
Remember where you drop a needed weapon, so you can go back and get it later.
Direct lines
You can move across a battlefield quickly by using the Sky-Lines, even if you only jump on to them for a moment.

Clowe Heated Following Loss
Posted on 4 Jan 2011 by Alex Wasserstrom.
In the wake of the Sharks' 4-3 loss to the Canucks, Ryane Clowe spoke to the media and was quite direct about how he felt his team played. I found it interesting to hear him call out teammates without naming names but it pretty much sums up the performance of the team. The Sharks will look to rebound against the Sabers on Thursday night at home in what will be the midway mark of the season.

Family: Fabaceae, Pea view all from this family
Description This is a 2-6 in., upright to somewhat sprawling, annual lupine. Its reddish-purple flowers, with white central spots, bloom in loose, terminal clusters. Leaves are palmately compound.
Warning Plants in the genus Lupinus, especially the seeds, can be toxic to humans and animals if ingested. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.
Flower March - May.
Flower March - May
Habitat Sandy, desert areas; grama grasslands.
Range S.w. U.S. and adjacent Mexico.
Comments Like other members of the pea family, this plant requires the presense of microorganisms which inhabit nodules on the plant's root system and produce nitrogen compounds necessary for the plant's survival. Soil/seed inoculum is available at most native plant nurseries.
Exposure Preference Sun.
Native Distribution S.w. U.S. & adjacent Mexico
Site Preference Sandy, desert areas; grama grasslands
Soil Preference Sandy soils.

Anyone discussing the new figures at Toyfair? Ree 'pinhead' Yees and Sgt. 'pinhead' Doallyn?
Anyone discussing the new figures at Toyfair? Ree 'pinhead' Yees and Sgt. 'pinhead' Doallyn?
here is the news article for the Hasbro Toy Fair photos. Yeah, their heads do look a little small. It also looks like Ree-Yees doesn't have ankles (no big loss) and I can't tell if Brock Starsher (that's the skiff guard "Doallyn"'s new name; Sgt. Doallyn is now just the guy who gets thrown down the stairs by Chewie) has them or not. Hopefully they'll look more natural when they hit shelves.
I'm also not sure if they're just re-releasing the Bespin dinner Vader instead of releasing the ROTS Vader, since Bespin Vader was in the showroom and in the press release photos. I doubt it, but I'm sure it's possible.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
They need to make a Cruisemissile Troopers Vader, enjoying an omelet in the proper French style. He could come with a record player accessory, and they could bring back the CommTech to capture his laughter.
That's my jacket!
Or, just a Gummi Cruisemissile Trooper, like those little corner-of-the-cardback pack-ins for the first Saga series. I'd want mine in blue.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I split this off into its own topic.
Brock Starsher, really? That's the worst Star Wars name ever. That is painful to my eyes.
Anyway, a rename was necessary since the guy thrown down the stairs was clearly (as you can see in my video) not Doallyn and was sporting some of Bane Malar's outfit. What a mess.
That figure's head is really small compared to his torso, what a mess.
Ree Yees is also pretty small in the cranium, what the heck? It's like a little kid wearing his dad's suit jacket. And I actually both like and use the ankle articulation, more than the knee articulation even.
The new-helmet/new-face Luke Hoth is a step in the right direction but I dunno if I'll bother at this point, I still dislike the hips and shoulders on that figure.
Finally getting ol' Stand By Ion Control, huh? This is the expected reaction, I suppose. "Toryn Farr, I've always wanted her, there she is... yup, there she is. Ok then."
Is that a new Wedge Hoth? The likeness is hard to pin down in the photos, but I am glad to have him if so.
Snowtrooper Commander looks good, but not terribly challenging either.
Yoda Dagobah looks good, but I hate the painted hair, hope this gets fixed before production.
Not feeling the new packaging at all, looks downright bad.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I'm liking Doalyn and Ree-Yees in spite of having small heads. Also looking forward to the Snow Commander and Torynn Farr as well. I'm not too sure about Dago Luke and Yoda. I want to actually see those before I make up my mind. I don't really care much for the new packaging either. Its no upgrade from TBS thats for sure.
I'm surprisingly aloof about Ree-Yees and Doallyn/Starsher. Not really excited about either one and the small heads mean that I most likely will pass on both of them.
The Snowtrooper Commander looks really tempting; but it depends on how the final product turns out. If he doesn't have a Jangohead under his helmet, then he might warrant a purchase from me.
If they have any sense, she'll be one per case and not carried forward (or maybe only once, a few waves later). I suspect you're right about her pegwarming like Yarna, though. Assuming the wave actually hits retail, which I'm really not confident of.
That's my jacket!
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.

I opted not to start a thread myself since I'm hardly ever here any more with the ol' Star Wars collecting having waned so much. So I was surprised to see my name attached to this thread
Well, I'll buy Ree Yees and Doallyn (or indeed Starshner if that's what they name him). Yeah I'll buy Toryn Farr though we already knew about her. Maybe I'll get the Snowtrooper commander. Not particularly enthused by anything else.
In a way I feel like I'm only buying out of some sense of obligation having collected the line for almost 20 years (my god) but since there's so few OT figures these days its easy to manage. Having said that its really only background characters and worthwhile resculpts that I'd bother with, stuff that I feel genuinely expands and finesses the collection rather than just adding junk. The new Dagobah Luke for example doesn't impress me, I think I'm happy with the OTC versions.
Hopefully its not too late to grow Ree Yees' and Doallyn's heads. Really I don't know what Hasbro do be thinking. Its very noticeable.

What is the best way to pursue changing the breed categories used by Entry Express? I have been contacting people for the last two years and not getting anywhere. I thought I was getting somewhere this summer, but not now. Any certain person or department that would be the best? I've tried through the editors at Retriever News and at least got responses, but haven't gotten many responses from the contacts listed on Entry Express. We have Curlies and under the breed summaries, we get lumped with Flat-Coats at field trials and "others" in hunt tests. We used Entry Express for our breed national field events in September....all curlies.....all listed as a bunch of fcrs in the breed tallies.
Anyone have any advice? (other than get a lab....I have already heard that once or twice or a zillion times as you can imagine )
Thank you,

So far, this thread stinks...just sayin'
I retract my earlier statement. This is getting better and better.
First 2 of 5 posts are active. :) i hope it works
I'd have to say, that's a sexy format.
Finished reading the first two posts.
Quite the read! Am looking forward to the upcoming sections.
all posts are up!!! WOOOHOOOO! :):):):)
Very good read, I really enjoyed it. Wonderfully presented and your points are well stated and (though I disagree here and there) generally right on the money.
If I had one thing I'd want to change is to have you try the Rev 2s (I'm sure you saw that coming) but otherwise this is one of the best comparisons I've seen. Thanks!
Where's the writeup on HE audio Jade?
This is the single greatest thread in the entire universe.
Thank you so much guys! I hope you enjoy reading as I enjoyed writing it. :)
I'll be sure to comment more on things if asked. Also, if I update the review or correct any facts, I'll be sure to update and acknowledge those who service the thread.
It has been made obvious to me that you are the headphone god lol.
You might have mentioned this somewhere in your epic post, but can you just tell me what your favorite headphones are? I understand that it's impossible to have a "perfect" set of headphones, but what's your favorite?
well i think the best value is the HD600 and HE500. But my favorite is listed :) I don't want to give it away hahaha :D
Well you said that the HD800 was one of your most-often used headphones... does that equate to it being one of your favorites???
Stop torturing me and just let me know lol!
it's definitely one of them. i love the HD800's neutral tone. But being that HD800 is #6, there's 5 in front of it:)

Why Overheard Cell Phone Chats Are Annoying 344
__roo writes "American researchers think they have found the answer to the question of why overhearing cell phone chats are annoying. According to scientists at Cornell University, when only half of the conversation is overheard, it drains more attention and concentration than when overhearing two people talking. According to one researcher, 'We have less control to move away our attention from half a conversation (or halfalogue) than when listening to a dialogue. Since halfalogues really are more distracting and you can't tune them out, this could explain why people are irritated.' Their study will be published in the journal Psychological Science."

Generally, the incidences of hepatic and gastrointestinal side effects have been significantly greater with use of timed release niacin (the active ingredient contained in HDL Benefit) when compared to an immediate release form, however, the incidence of cutaneous flushing has been significantly less.[Ref]
Dermatologic flushing (facial and whole body) and pruritus as a result of stimulation and release of prostaglandins by niacin (the active ingredient contained in HDL Benefit) have been major drawbacks of this drug. These symptoms have occurred in up to 78% of patients and usually resolved after 2 weeks of continued therapy. Flushing can be minimized with use of an extended release form of the drug, gradual dosage titration (over 2 to 3 months), and by administering the dosage during or within 30 minutes after meals. Aspirin (325 mg), if not otherwise contraindicated, taken within 30 minutes of niacin ingestion and avoidance of hot beverages and alcohol which can aggravate flushing by causing peripheral vasodilation may be recommended to reduce flushing.
In addition, maculopapular rash, urticaria, dry skin, skin burning sensation, and sweating have been associated with niacin use. Rare cases of hyperpigmentation and acanthosis nigricans have also been reported.[Ref]
Dose-related increases in aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase have been associated with dosage increases greater than 2.5 grams over 1 month. Computerized tomography has revealed changes consistent with focal fatty liver in some cases. Although these changes usually resolve with dose reduction, continued routine monitoring of liver function tests is recommended. Rare cases of fulminant, even fatal, hepatic failure have been reported.
In one retrospective analysis of 969 predominantly elderly male veterans treated for dyslipoproteinemia with controlled release niacin (the active ingredient contained in HDL Benefit) (average dose 3.1 grams/day), the incidences of possible and probable hepatotoxicity (biochemical criteria) were 2.2% and 4.7%, respectively. Predisposing risk factors included high dose, alcohol use, preexisting liver disease, and concurrent oral sulfonylurea use. The incidence of hepatotoxicity was significantly less among patients who were taking an average daily dose of 2.1 grams.[Ref]
Hepatic side effects including hepatotoxicity and hepatitis have been reported in 2% to 3% patients who have taken larger doses (3 grams or more daily) or who have used timed release preparations. Hepatotoxicity usually reverses within one week after drug discontinuation, but sometimes can be avoided with dosage reductions or switching to crystalline niacin (if hepatotoxicity developed while using a timed release preparation). Clinical monitoring of patient response and tolerance, including laboratory evaluation of liver function tests is generally recommended.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal disturbances have included exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease, eructation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, and dyspepsia. Persistent fatigue, nausea or anorexia may be a sign of hepatotoxicity.[Ref]
Nicotinic acid competes with uric acid for excretion by the kidneys. Hyperuricemia associated with niacin (the active ingredient contained in HDL Benefit) appears to be more common in men.[Ref]
Metabolic changes associated with niacin have included hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia. Clinical monitoring of patient response and tolerance, including laboratory evaluations of serum uric acid and blood glucose levels, is recommended in patients with a history of gout or diabetes mellitus.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects generally have been rare. Transient tachycardia, palpitations, atrial fibrillation, orthostasis, syncope, hypotension, and dizziness have been reported. The Coronary Drug Project (1975) reported a significant increase in cardiac arrhythmias associated with the use of niacin (the active ingredient contained in HDL Benefit) some experts consider preexisting arrhythmias or angina pectoris contraindications to its use.
Niacin has been shown to increase plasma homocysteine levels. Homocysteine is an independent risk factor for arterial occlusive disease. Clinical implications of these increases and the influence of folic acid supplementation as a means to decrease homocysteine levels remain to be determined.[Ref]
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects have included rare reports of paresthesias, nervousness, dizziness, headache, fatigue, and insomnia.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects including rare hematologic coagulopathies associated with niacin-induced elevations of liver function tests have occurred.[Ref]
Genitourinary complaints of decreased sexual function have been reported in up to 3% and 22% of male patients who have taken unmodified and timed release niacin (the active ingredient contained in HDL Benefit) respectively.[Ref]
Endocrine side effects including rare incidences of altered thyroid function tests have been reported. Changes appeared to be due to decreased thyroid binding capacity and concentration of thyroid binding globulin.[Ref]
Niacin (the active ingredient contained in HDL Benefit) appears to cause a reversible toxic cystoid maculopathy in approximately 0.7% of patients taking at least 1.5 grams daily. The maculopathy typically has been reversible upon discontinuation of therapy.[Ref]
Ocular side effects have included amblyopia, sicca syndromes, blurred vision, eyelid edema, and macular edema.[Ref]
Musculoskeletal side effects associated with niacin (the active ingredient contained in HDL Benefit) have included myalgia, myasthenia, myopathy, and leg cramps. Creatine kinase increase was reported post-marketing in the sustained release product.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity effects associated with niacin (the active ingredient contained in HDL Benefit) have included rash, generalized edema, facial edema, and peripheral edema.[Ref]
Respiratory side effects have included dyspnea.[Ref]

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 9:18 PM GMT on January 09, 2007
The United States recorded its warmest year ever in 2006, according to today's report issued by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The 2006 annual average temperature was 55�F, 2.2�F (1.2�C) above the 20th Century mean and 0.07�F (0.04�C) warmer than the previous warmest year, 1998. The NCDC had estimated that 2006 would be the 3rd warmest year in U.S. history last month, but an unusually warm December pushed 2006 to the top. It was the warmest December on record in the Northeast U.S., and the 4th warmest December for the country as a whole. Only 1939, 1957, and 1933 had warmer Decembers. However, the statistics partially hide the extraordinary warmth that began on December 10 and continued until January 6, when New York City tied their all-time record January high temperature of 72�. During the month ending January 6, the Northeast was 14 �F above average, and the U.S. as a whole was 7� above average.
No cause for alarm?
"No cause for alarm. Enjoy it while you have it," said Mike Halpert, head of forecast operations at the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center, in a story run by CNN just before New York City's record warmth. The story continued, "The weather is prone to short-term fluctuations, and forecasters said the mild winter does not necessarily mean global warming is upon us. In fact, the Plains have been hit by back-to-back blizzards in the past two weeks." True, the weather across most of the U.S. has finally cooled off this week, and the rest of January should have near average temperatures. And I agree that one warm month of winter in one country in its warmest year in 112 years of record keeping is not evidence of global warming, particularly when there is a moderate El Nino episode going on. An El Nino can lead to significantly warmer winters in the U.S.--exceptional December warmth has also occurred in 1877, 1939, and 1957, all of which were moderate or strong El Nino years. I've plotted up a comparison of temperatures in December of 1957 vs 2006 (Figure 1), and one can see that the unusual warmth of December 2006 does have historical precedent. Taking a look at average U.S. December temperatures for all years in the historical record (Figure 2), we see that these temperatures do show quite a bit of noise, and there is no evidence of dramatic warming in the past 30 years.

Rolling thirteens with the weather dice
Take a look at the trend December temperatures in Figure 2. It shows that the average temperature has warmed a little more than 1� F in the past century. It may not seem like much, but that is enough to significantly load the dice in favor of warmer winters. Six of the ten warmest U.S. winters on record have occurred in the past 15 years. Month long spells where winter is seemingly absent--as also occurred in January 2006, the warmest January in U.S. history--have become more common. Keep in mind that the weather of January of 2006--which blew away the previous record for warmest January by a huge margin (2� F)--occurred during a La Nina year, not an El Nino. What concerns me most is that the warming trend is not isolated to the U.S. The 1� F rise in temperatures the past century has occurred world-wide, thanks to global warming, and the temperature increase has been much higher in the Arctic--something the climate models have predicted would occur as a telltale sign of the human-caused addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. In the past, an exceptionally warm winter month in the U.S., like December 1957 (Figure 3), was offset by much cooler weather elsewhere, such as we see in Alaska, Greenland, and northern Siberia. However, December 2006 had no such offsetting cool temperatures--it was more than 1� C above average over almost all the land areas of the Northern Hemisphere north of 40� north latitude (Figure 4). Colorado, whose three blizzards have been widely cited as evidence that winter has been severe elsewhere, still recorded temperatures about 1� C above normal in December 2006.
Figure 3. Global departure of temperature from average for December 1957, the second warmest December on record in the U.S. Note that the exceptionally warm temperatures over the U.S. are offset by much cooler weather elsewhere, such as in Alaska, Greenland, and northern Siberia.
Figure 4. Global departure of temperature from average for December 2006. Note that the almost the entire globe north of 40� north latitude was more than 1� C above average, with large areas more than 6� C (11� F) above average.
All this unusual heat in the northern high latitudes is going to significantly slow down the formation of ice over the Arctic Ocean this winter. Furthermore, the lack of the usual snows across the Arctic may allow the snowpack to melt much earlier than normal in spring, resulting in more record warmth in the Arctic this summer. Arctic sea ice coverage, already down 20% in the past 20 years, is likely to continue to shrink in 2007. As sea ice melts in response to rising temperatures, it creates a positive feedback loop: melting ice means more of the dark ocean is exposed, allowing it to absorb more of the sun's energy, further increasing air temperatures, ocean temperatures, and ice melt. The observed changes in the ice cover (Figure 5) indicate that this feedback is now starting to take hold, and the weather dice will continue to get more loaded towards rolling higher numbers in 2007. I do think we're due for a cold winter next year--part of the warmth of the past two winters is probably due to the normal random fluctuations in the weather, and Nature has been rolling twelves more often than snake eyes of late. However, we're not going to see snake eyes too much more. December's weather in the Northeast U.S. may have been a case of the weather dice coming up thirteen--weather not seen on the planet since before the Ice Age began, 118,000 years ago. The weather dice will start rolling an increasing number of thirteens in coming years, and an ice-free Arctic Ocean in summertime by 2040 is a very real possibility, as indicated by computer modelling studies published in the Journal of Geophysical Research last month. This possibility is cause for alarm, and I, for one, had a lot of trouble enjoying the phenomenally warm weather of the past month here in Michigan.

Check out the realclimate.org post on this winter's anomalous warmth.
I'll be back Thursday afternoon or Friday with a look at the status of El Nino. Will it still be around during hurricane season?
