Secret Anti-Piracy Negotiations, 3 Strikes, And a Taxpayer Funded Campaign
by Enigmax, TorrentFreak
As authorities, rightsholders and ISPs in Denmark negotiate behind an agreed press blackout over the possible introduction of a 3 strikes-style file-sharing regime, the government is set to commit tax payers� money to the overall plan. The Ministry of Culture says it will help fund a public anti-piracy campaign and will match any financial contributions made by the entertainment industries and ISPs.
In common with many countries around the world, Denmark has faced huge pressure from the entertainment industries in recent times over illicit file-sharing. After failing to reduce infringement by going after
and torrent
site owners
, the music and movie companies decided to channel their energies towards ISPs.
Naturally this approach leads to friction since ISPs don�t want to be held responsible for the activities of their users and don�t want to stress customer relations. In order to address the issue, the Ministry of Culture formed an Anti-Piracy Committee who have been trying to come to agreement on how infringements should be handled.
Negotiations between lawyers, rightsholders, ISPs and other groups have been going on since the start of the year and early this month it was finally
that Denmark would indeed by treading a 3 strikes path, although exactly how it will do so remains undecided. As usual, everyone is arguing about who bears the cost.
At the moment there are two models on the table. Rightsholders will almost certainly do all the monitoring of file-sharers, but in one model ISPs send out warning letters and in the other the task is handled by a public body. In both models, an independent body assesses the evidence.
The letters to be sent are also set to contain an educational message. While indicating that rightsholders have detected an infringement from the IP address in question, it�s proposed that recipients should also be informed about Denmark�s Copyright Act. Information on how to secure a wireless network and how to block and/or remove file-sharing software will be included along with the telephone number of a helpdesk to answer further questions
Comon.dk have been following developments closely and have
made efforts
to get information about negotiations from the Anti-Piracy Committee. After experiencing difficulty, Comon was told by Committee members that they had �promised to keep working secretly in order not to create too much fuss� and �could never agree on some recommendations if there was too much public debate about its work.�
Martin Salamon from the Consumer Council, which is opposed to sending out warning letters, confirmed that there was agreement not to discuss matters with the press.
Of course, this is problematic on a number of levels and especially when consumers inevitably pick up the tab. If the entertainment industries pick up the bill initially, their customers pay. If ISPs have to finance 3 strikes, their customers pay. And if the government pays, taxpayers have to pay.
Although it seems unlikely that the government will pick up the bill for administering whichever model is chosen, already it is pledging to get more involved in the anti-piracy fight. To this end it is offering financial support to help the entertainment industries� battle.
The government says that it has put funds aside to assist in raising public awareness of its anti-piracy message. In a statement the Ministry of Culture said it will
match money
put into the campaign by rightsholders and Internet service providers. The amount is confirmed to be around 1 million kroner ($187,700).
Earlier anti-piracy campaigns in Denmark
have failed
so it will be interesting to see if the approach this time will be different. After all, only an insane person does the same thing over and over again and expects different results.

Funny thing is that there are no losses for the MAFIAA in Denmark.
We Danes have to pay a tax (they don't CALL it a tax, but that's what it is)
on blank recordable media ;
(One US Dollar equals 5.25 Danish Kroner)
A blank 90-minutes cassette-tape = 5,40 kr in tax
A 240-minutes video-tape = 20,14 kr. in tax
A blank DVD =10,07 kr. in tax
MiniDisc =1,88 kr in tax
Memory cards inc USB flash-drives = 4,28 kr. in tax
The proceedings are forwarded to some "rights" holder organization who then redistributes it to their "members" .

Drawbridge accident kills pedestrian - 0 Comments
A woman fell from an open drawbridge span and apparently was crushed to death as the Meridian Street bridge closed in a horrifying accident that has mystified emergency officials and area residents.
"I walk over it every day. If you try to cross while they're trying to operate the bridge, the guy will lay on the air horn like crazy," said Bill Montanino, a dispatcher with nearby Todisco Towing, who said the operators "go out of their way" to make it safe, particularly in winter.

Poured a deep well..ruby tinged brown with a very thin almost non existent head atop,aromas are deeply fruity with underlying caramel and molasses,very rich.The mouthfeel is smooth but a tad watery,it does go down easily.Fruity flavors with some cakiness and caramel notes as well,it's not very roasted and not much hops presence.Not a bad old school porter,it's very English and is a fitting drink after seeing the Hobbit tonight.

3.81/5 rDev +1.6%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Attractive but undated brown 500ml bottle served in a snifter.
Poured a very dark mahogany color, less ruby colored than expected, with a small tan head that mostly dispersed quickly.
The aroma features dark roasted malts, dark fruits and hints of chocolate and some light spicing.
Taste: Subtle hints of spices mixed with vague dark fruits, dark breads, a touch of toffee and hints of coffee and chocolate: a nice and fairly well-balanced mix. Good sweet/bitter balance too.
Mouthfeel: Very smooth and properly carbonated, but a tad watery in the finish.
O: quite enjoyable English porter that improves with some warming (Mine started at about 45F).

This is a nice English porter. Polite. It is a dark brown color with a thin head. It's smell is malty, gristy, and just a little musty. Semi sweet in taste. More attenuated than expected, and carbonated as well. Firm bitterness, but not much hop flavor. Medium body. Very English.

Comes out of the bottle a slightly ruddy sable that lets in a peak of light at the edges. Light wheat head has average thickness, and doesn't stick around too long but leaves some good lacing. Rich, smoky aroma has notes of molasses, licorice and roast malt plus a hint of caramel. Flavor has caramel, brown sugar and mocha tones, not much depth but still palatable. Texture has decent fizz, but body is on the thin side and finish is rather wan. Overall, a decent porter, if not an outstanding one.

A: The beer is very dark reddish brown in color (it's not quite opaque because light is visible at the bottom of the glass when it is held up to the light). It poured with a quarter finger high beige head that died down leaving lacing on the surface and a ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: There are light aromas of brown malts and fruity yeast in the nose.
T: The taste is similar to the smell but has stronger and more complex flavors with notes of toffee and raisins as well as hints of roasted malts. No bitterness is noticeable.
M: It feels on the lighter side of being medium-bodied on the palate and has a low to moderate amount of carbonation (similar to what you would expect from a cask beer).
O: This beer is very easy to drink and tastes rather complex for its lighter bodied nature.

Poured into a snifter.
3.5 A: Dark brown color. Just about a finger of frothy tan head. Retention is average at best and a short ring of lacing is left.
3.5 S: Dry grainy roastiness. Semisweet chocolate with notes of caramel and molasses. Maybe a touch of prune as well.
3.5 T: Drier than the nose and graininer too. Less chocolate and molasses as well. Caramel's still there with a light pruny fruitiness. Clean.
3.0 M: Lighter medium body. Good moderate carbonation. Could be creamier as it lays heavy on the tongue.
3.5 D: Tasty, easy drinking beer. Nothing special though.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Poured from 500mL bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: very dark brown with, indeed, ruby highlights. Head pours two fingers of frothy tan foam. Not bad.
Smell: sweet malty aroma with a lot of fruity character and some caramel notes thrown in as well. There's also almost a woody character in there. Not bad, but a bit on the sweet and caramelly side.
Taste: very much like the aroma. Sweet and fruity with caramel character. A tiny hint of roastiness comes in at the end. Tasty, but a rather mild porter experience.
Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a decent level of carbonation and creaminess.
Overall: this is an interesting porter, in that it has almost no roast-malt character at all; that said, it is tasty enough and eminently quaffable. I'd have it again.

From notes 1/22/11. .5 l bottle. Very nice beer. Good roast and dark chocolate/cocoa in the finish. The aroma has lots of dark fruity malt and caramel. Some butterscotch but it works pleasantly enough. There's a mild bit of bitter citrus rind. The taste is fairly sweet but ends dry, roasty and fruity. It's hard not to enjoy this beer. Mouthfeel is smooth with low carbonation and a round body. Pours dark red-highlighted brown with a beige cap.
This is the same beer as Batemans Dark Lord (sold under another name to avoid trademark infringement), though for some reason that one is listed as a dark mild.

This is supposed to be the US version of Batemans Dark Lord: my review of that beer is here...lets see if the beer is the same or if my taste buds have changed.
Brown 500ml bottle, best before Feb 2008, drank March 2007.
Poured into a Gordon's Finest Gold Thistle glass (twice).
A very dark ruby red, deep mahogany wood coloured body with a good light brown foaming head, very impressive, pity the head dispersed so quickly.
The aroma has a plum pudding and spicey scent to it, burnt malts and coffee too.
Wintery flavours of spices and dried fruits for a Christmas cake, but without the sweetness, burnt caramel also in the mix.
All the mentioned flavours in the taste are also within the aftertaste and mouthfeel, it is a tad watery for a 5.0% beer, but that is my only negative comment on this beer.
Very, very drinkable, a fine strong dark mild, one I will have again and again.

New review 12 July 2011, best before date of the 500ml bottle being 31 Jul 2011. The bottle rear label has all the usual US import information, this bottle however never made it over the pond!
Poured into a UK pint sleeve, lovely dark and the same as the original review, the head staying longer this time around.
Roasted/toasted malts and coffee smells, hints of spices too.
Easy drinking winter brew, well worth finding whatever name it appears under. My score is slightly higher than the 'Dark Lord' originals because the head hung around longer and the beer seemed to be in better condition all round, having more depth and taste.

A 500ml bottle with a BB of July 2011. Named after George Bateman (presumably the founder of the brewery that bears his name).
Poured into a Guinness pint glass. A deep ruby-brown hue that appears almost black unless held to the light. Good carbonation. Forms a decent head of tan foam that lasts a minute or two before subsiding. Subtle aroma of sweet caramel malt with faint hints of dried fruit and brown sugar.
Tastes of sweet dark malt with a mild finish. Notes of caramel, brown sugar, dried fruit and solvent/alcohol. Stewed hops provide a dry, leafy bitterness. Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly; the carbonation is noticeable. Lightly astringent. Malty aftertaste with echoes of stewed leaves.
Pretty good - the balance of sweet and bitter is well judged, resulting in a pleasingly drinkable ale. I reckon it could stand a bit more roasted malt to influence the flavour, but nice as it is. Worth your while if you come across it.

A-Pours dark mahogany with ruby highlights and 1/4 inch of light tan head. Leaves light, foamy lacing.
S-Roasted chocolate malts, hay, burnt white sugar. Very simple.
T/M-Roasty and chocolaty with a diminishing sweetened milk flavor on the back end. Body is on the thin side for a porter, but this is not to the beer's detriment. Drinks more like a Baltic Porter than what I associate with a traditional English Porter. Medium bodied with low to moderate carbonation.
O-Would prefer this to be slightly roastier and less sweet. A pleasant beer I will revisit in the future.

PARIS -- (Marketwire) -- 01/28/13 --
* A New Identity for the Group[1]
* The Transformation of CGG into a Leading Integrated Geoscience Group
* A Three-Division Organization
* The creation of the Joint Venture "Seabed Geosolutions"
CGG announced today that the main agreements needed to close the acquisition of Fugro's Geoscience Division have been signed. The effective date of the closing will be January 31(st), 2013, with the exception of the airborne activity and certain minor assets which will be contributed later, once all operating licenses and administrative authorizations have been received.
The Group has simplified its brand name from CGGVeritas to CGG. The Group is now organized around three Divisions: Equipment, Acquisition and Geology, Geophysics & Reservoirs (GGR).
With this transformative acquisition, CGG establishes a leading position in the high-tech integrated geology & geophysics and reservoir characterization market while strengthening and extending its existing businesses. CGG becomes a fully integrated Geoscience group, with less cyclical and low capital intensive businesses. The agreement also includes strategic partnerships:
* The creation of a Joint-Venture, Seabed Geosolutions, a focused global leader in the rapidly growing Seabed acquisition market, which is 60%-owned by Fugro and 40% by CGG.
* A marketing and selling Multi-Client agreement for CGG to sell Fugro's existing 3D data, which remains owned by Fugro.
* A global strategic technical and commercial mutual preferred supplier agreement.
Jean-Georges Malcor, Chief Executive Officer of CGG said: "The acquisition of Fugro's Geoscience division will be completed by January 31, 2013 and I would first like to warmly welcome our 2,500 new talented colleagues into the Group.
We have a strengthened asset base, increased resources and enhanced capabilities. The addition of Fugro's activities and technologies, including Jason and Robertson, significantly enhance our integrated Geoscience capabilities. It also strengthens our core activities in equipment, imaging, and acquisition, particularly in marine with the addition of four high-end 3D vessels. Moreover, we expand into new markets such as airborne geophysics, marine gravity, electromagnetic and Data Management Services.
We are creating an exciting new Group to better serve our clients. Our three new Divisions (Equipment - Acquisition - Geology, Geophysics & Reservoir) cover better the exploration to production value chain. This presents us with many opportunities to create value for our shareholders, our clients, our colleagues and our partners.
As we are entering in a new era, the brand name of the Group is changing and is simplified to CGG. This new brand identity enables us to capitalize on our historic roots while also leading the way to the future.
We now have a group of nearly 10,000 people from all around the world, who are passionate about geoscience and working together to deliver the best solutions to our clients. It will help us create a stronger and more sustainable business for the future. "
Financing of the Transaction
Taking into account the estimate of the acquired Working Capital as of the Closing date and the amount due by Fugro to reach a 60% shareholding in the Seabed Geosolutions JV, the net cost of the transaction amounts to EUR975m.
It is financed with the net proceeds of the EUR414 million capital increase with a Rights Issue we made in October 2012, with the net proceeds of the EUR360 million convertible bonds we issued in November 2012, and with a vendor loan from Fugro which was agreed upon to achieve a rapid closing. This vendor loan amounts to EUR125 million at the Closing date, to be extended to EUR225m at the date of effective acquisition of the airborne activity.
A New Brand Identity for the Group
To capitalize on our heritage while developing and leading the way to the future, the Group has simplified its name to CGG. This new brand is international, easy to say and is known by the industry. It will be used immediately.
For the time being, the current legal name of the listed company remains "Compagnie Générale de Géophysique - Veritas". The update of the current legal name to "CGG" will be submitted by the Board of Directors for approval at the next shareholders' meeting on May 3, 2013.
As of February 1(st), 2013, the Group will have "CGG" as a new and unique ticker symbol on the Euronext Paris SA and the New York Stock Exchange.
The logo, strongly recognized and appreciated, is modernized to better reflect the Group's high-tech and market-leading positions.
Along with this new brand identity, the Group's Mission, Vision & Values have evolved and been simplified to accurately reflect CGG's DNA and aspirations within a single culture, a common purpose and shared future ambition.
CGG's Mission: To create value by optimizing the discovery and the development of natural resources
CGG's Vision: To be the geoscience partner of choice
CGG's Values: Powered by people, around the world, we
.have a passion for innovation
.operate safely and with integrity
in order to deliver sustainable performance
A Three-Division Organization
As a global integrated Geosciences group, CGG is from now on, in line with its strategy and businesses, organized around three Divisions: Equipment, Acquisition and Geology, Geophysics & Reservoirs (GGR).
* The Equipment division includes Sercel business entities as well as Optoplan, Metrolog, GRC and De Regt.
* The Acquisition division is made up of Marine Acquisition, Land Acquisition and Airborne Acquisition (once contributed) and includes General Geophysics, Electromagnetic and Gravity & Magnetic services.
* The GGR division includes: Multi-Client and New Ventures, Processing & Imaging, Jason and Hampson-Russell (Reservoir Characterization), Robertson (Exploration & Geology), Data Management Services.
Creation of a Strategic Joint Venture in Seabed Acquisition Services
Seabed Geosolutions is a focused global leader in the rapidly growing Seabed acquisition market. The joint venture is 60%-owned by Fugro and 40% by CGG. CGG contributed its Shallow Water, Ocean Bottom Cable and Permanent Reservoir Monitoring services along with its Ocean Bottom Node business. Fugro contributed its Ocean Bottom Node business.

In older age, reduction in physical function can lead to loss of independence, the need for hospital and long-term nursing or residential home care, and premature death. The importance of physical, functional, psychological and social factors in realising a healthy old age is recognised by older people, health-care professionals, policy advisors and decision-making organisations. The needs of older people are expected to be an increasingly important health issue as the number of older people increases. Home-visiting programmes for older people, carried out by nurses and other health-care professionals (e.g. occupational therapists and physiotherapists), aim to positively affect health and functional status, and may promote independent functioning of older people. Such programmes may also aim to reduce hospital and nursing home admissions. Systematic reviews of the benefits of home-based nursing interventions have previously been undertaken; however, these have not specifically considered the benefits of nurse-led health promotion, nor have they been focused on practice within the UK. Consequently, there remain outstanding questions concerning whether or not, and under which circumstances, and for whom, such programmes may confer health benefits, and whether or not this form of intervention may offer value for money for the NHS and associated sectors.
The main research question addressed by this assessment is 'What is the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of nurse-led health promotion intervention delivered at home for older people at risk of admission to hospital, residential or nursing care in the UK?' The specific objectives of this assessment are to:
- evaluate the clinical effectiveness of home-based, nurse-led health promotion programmes in the UK
- review existing health economic evaluations of home-based, nurse-led health promotion programmes from the perspective of the NHS and Personal Social Services (PSS)
- explore, as far as existing evidence allows, those elements of this form of complex intervention that may contribute to its clinical effectiveness, and
- identify key gaps in current evidence and to identify areas in which future research may be warranted.
This report comprises two related systematic reviews: a review of clinical effectiveness studies and a systematic review of existing cost-effectiveness studies. The literature searches for the clinical and economic studies were undertaken between February and March 2011.
Clinical effectiveness review methods
The inclusion criteria for the review were as follows:
- Population Older people (> 75 years) at risk of admission to hospital, residential or nursing care.
- Interventions Structured home-based, nurse-led health promotion.
- Comparators Standard care, including joint health and social assessment. Health promotion delivered in a different setting or not delivered by a nurse.
- Setting Interventions delivered in the home setting, undertaken in the UK.
- Outcomes Admission to hospital, residential or nursing care, mortality, morbidity including depression, falls, accidents, deteriorating health status, patient satisfaction.
- Study design Randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
A comprehensive literature search was undertaken across 12 different databases (for example MEDLINE, EMBASE, Science Citation Index Expanded, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, etc.) and research registries from the year 2001 onwards. Previously published systematic reviews of home-based visiting interventions were also hand-searched according to the inclusion criteria to identify other trials that were published before this cut-off date. Potentially relevant studies were sifted by one reviewer, and inclusion decisions were agreed amongst the broader research team. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. The results of included studies were synthesised using both narrative and statistical methods.
Health economic review methods
A separate systematic search was undertaken to identify existing health economic analyses of home-based, nurse-led health promotion programmes. The inclusion criteria for the clinical review were also applied to the search results with two additions: (1) studies were included if they presented a comparative economic evaluation and presented results in terms of both costs and health outcomes; and (2) studies had to be undertaken from the perspective of the UK NHS and PSS. Included studies were sifted and appraised by two reviewers using a published checklist.
Owing to resource constraints for the review, a de novo health economic model was not developed as part of this study.
Results of the clinical effectiveness review
Eleven studies were included in the systematic review of clinical effectiveness. There was considerable heterogeneity among studies with respect to the nature of the intervention, the nurses delivering the programmes and the populations in whom the interventions were assessed. Overall, the quality of the included studies was good: all but one of the included studies were judged to be at a medium or low risk of bias.
Meta-analysis of eight studies suggested a statistically significant mortality benefit for the home-based health promotion groups, whereas a meta-analysis of four studies suggested non-significant benefits in terms of fewer falls in the intervention groups than in the control groups. Positive outcomes for home-based, nurse-led health promotion interventions were also reported within individual studies: these outcomes included the Barthel Index (although this finding was not consistent across all studies), leg ulcer recurrence, the Nottingham Health Profile, the Caregiver Strain Index, the General Health Questionnaire and a global health question. Significant benefits were not demonstrated in terms of reduced admissions to hospital or numbers of subjects moving into residential care, Short Form questionnaire-36 items quality of life or the Beck Depression Inventory.
Results of the review of health economic evaluations
The available evidence for home-based, nurse-led health promotion included within the economic review was much narrower than that for the clinical effectiveness review. Only three economic studies met the inclusion criteria. This evidence base consists of one non-randomised cost minimisation analysis and two economic evaluations undertaken alongside RCTs. Two of these studies involved an intervention targeted specifically at patients with a known underlying incurable disease [one study of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and one study of Parkinson's disease], whereas the third study examined the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of early discharge in patients with a range of conditions including fracture, neurological conditions and cardiorespiratory conditions.
Each of the three studies indicated some likelihood that home-based, nurse-led health promotion may offer cost savings to the NHS and associated sectors such as social services. However, one study did not report any comparison of health outcomes and, instead, simply assumed equivalence between the intervention and comparator groups, whereas the other two studies suggested at best a negligible incremental benefit in terms of preference-based health-related quality-of-life measures. Within these last two studies, there appears to be a marked possibility that the intervention offers no discernible health benefits. Where assessed, the level of uncertainty surrounding health outcomes also suggests a possibility that the home-based, nurse-led interventions assessed may result in a lower aggregate level of health gain than standard care.
Three previous systematic reviews have reported meta-analyses of available trial evidence. These were reviews of home- or community-based interventions to support older people. However, these reviews did not use the same inclusion criteria as those adopted here, as they were neither limited to nurse-led interventions nor specifically focused on the UK setting. Two of these reviews did not demonstrate a significant reduction in mortality. However, the results of the third study (Elkan et al. Effectiveness of home based support for older people: systematic review and meta-analysis. BMJ 2001;323:719–24B) are consistent with the findings of this review, as the authors also reported a significant reduction in mortality (odds ratio = 0.76, 95% confidence interval 0.64 to 0.97). Two of these reviews also reported statistically significant benefits for the intervention group in terms of reduced nursing home admission, risk of hospital admissions, falls and functional decline. One study indicated that the effect on functional decline depended on the number of home visits performed during follow-up. The positive effects seen in these reviews are mirrored in our clinical review, supporting the conclusion that home visits to older people can reduce mortality and appear to improve certain dimensions of health and well-being.
There is, however, a substantial gap in terms of the availability of economic studies to support the generally positive case arising from the clinical effectiveness review. Overall, there appears to be a dearth of good-quality economic studies available to inform decisions about the cost-effectiveness of home-based, nurse-led health promotion in older people in the UK. Where evidence is available, studies are subject to a number of methodological problems that cloud the conclusions arising from them. There remain substantial gaps in evidence concerning whether or not, and for whom, home-based health promotion programmes may be cost-effective.
On the basis of the evidence included in this systematic review, home-based, nurse-led health promotion may offer clinical benefits across a number of important health dimensions. However, it is generally unclear from the available studies which components of this type of complex intervention contribute towards individual aspects of benefit for older people. Given the limitations of the current evidence base, it remains unclear whether or not home-based health promotion interventions offer good value for money for the NHS and associated sectors.
Future work recommendations
The prevalent gaps in knowledge surrounding the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of home-based nursing give rise to a number of potentially relevant policy questions. For instance, would it be more effective to target such a programme at all older people or to limit the intervention to specific disease groups? Would it be better to focus on prevention of disease events, for example COPD exacerbations or falls, or focus on the healthy population? Should the intervention be led solely by nurses or within multidisciplinary teams? Given these considerable uncertainties it is difficult to isolate the key areas in which future research would be valuable or the exact study design required.

NIHR Health Technology Assessment programme
The Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care.
The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'.
The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects.
First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, from the public and consumer groups and from professional bodies such as royal colleges and NHS trusts. These suggestions are carefully prioritised by panels of independent experts (including NHS service users). The HTA programme then commissions the research by competitive tender.
Second, the HTA programme provides grants for clinical trials for researchers who identify research questions. These are assessed for importance to patients and the NHS, and scientific rigour.
Third, through its Technology Assessment Report (TAR) call-off contract, the HTA programme commissions bespoke reports, principally for NICE, but also for other policy-makers. TARs bring together evidence on the value of specific technologies.
Some HTA research projects, including TARs, may take only months, others need several years. They can cost from as little as £40,000 to over £1 million, and may involve synthesising existing evidence, undertaking a trial, or other research collecting new data to answer a research problem.
The final reports from HTA projects are peer reviewed by a number of independent expert referees before publication in the widely read journal series Health Technology Assessment.
Criteria for inclusion in the HTA journal series
Reports are published in the HTA journal series if (1) they have resulted from work for the HTA programme, and (2) they are of a sufficiently high scientific quality as assessed by the referees and editors.
Reviews in Health Technology Assessment are termed 'systematic' when the account of the search, appraisal and synthesis methods (to minimise biases and random errors) would, in theory, permit the replication of the review by others.
The research reported in this issue of the journal was commissioned by the HTA programme as project number 09/142/01. The contractual start date was in January 2011. The draft report began editorial review in July 2011 and was accepted for publication in November 2011. As the funder, by devising a commissioning brief, the HTA programme specified the research question and study design.The authors have been wholly responsible for all data collection, analysis and interpretation, and for writing up their work. The HTA editors and publisher have tried to ensure the accuracy of the authors' report and would like to thank the referees for their constructive comments on the draft document. However, they do not accept liability for damages or losses arising from material published in this report.
The views expressed in this publication are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the HTA programme or the Department of Health.

ElfQuest: The Official Roleplaying Game | ||
Author: Steve Perrin
Category: game Company/Publisher: Chaosium Inc. c.1984 Line: (none) Cost: about $30 today Page count: 120 /160 ISBN: (none) SKU: (not known) Playtest Review by Stephanie Charette (Ashtal) on 05/24/00. Genre tags: Fantasy | Introduction:Bias Alert: I am an ElfQuest fan. I've got the comics, the graphic novels and the calendar(s). The limited edition poster is on my wall. So, buying the role-playing game was a natural thing. That said, this will be not a fan-girl review (I hope). I've run several ElfQuest campaigns, so I have a little experience behind the screen. ElfQuest: the Official Roleplaying Game boxed set is an adaptation of ElfQuest, a black and white quarterly comic that began in the late 70s and continued until 1984 by WaRP Graphics (Wendy and Richard Pini). The original 21 issues are something of a cult classic. The story was reprinted in Marvel comics and new series, including Seige at Blue Mountain, Kings of the Broken Wheel, New Blood, Wavedancers, Hidden Years and Shards, all followed until the titles were reunited under the ElfQuest banner once again. The series was discontinued in the late 90s, but WaRP Graphics continues to publish Readers Collections. The role-playing game was published in 1984. Because of writing and production times, the rules are based only on the first 18 issues of the series, leaving a few things out. This was corrected in the ElfQuest Companion, published in 1985. When Chaosium re-released the game as a single trade paperback, the Companion was included in the book (along with the extra bits from the boxed set), adding to the overall value. What You Get:In the original boxed set are the ElfBook and the WorldBook, a parchment map of the World of Two Moons, fifteen character sheets, a booklet containing errata, reference sheets and example of play, and the complimentary 80s dice 3d6 and 2d20s (which act as d10s with the numbers repeated twice). Book Layout/Artwork:Well, being a fan of the comic series, I was delighted with the art, as it is drawn entirely from the original series. Plus, their use is more than decorative often they are used to support game play examples, informative and friendly to new GMs. Wendy Pini's style is powerful and the inclusion of her artwork puts you in the right frame of mind to play the game. Illustrated mini-character sheets for several of the main characters also appear in the books. Artwork aside, the layout of the books is very straightforward and cleanly done, with few (if any) typos. While there is no index (grrrr), each page has on its edge corner a chapter heading, so it's hard to get lost. You won't be buried in these rules they follow logically. The Elfbook is divided into Forward, Introduction, The World of ElfQuest, Creating an Elf, Game System, Skills, Magic, Combat and Hunting, Other Tribes and Folk while the Worldbook is divided into Introduction, Hazardous World, Flora and Fauna, three game scenarios and a glossary. The Game:ElfBook After the obligatory general introduction to role-playing, readers are thrust into the game world by a run down of the basic tenants of ElfQuest and a summary of the first 18 issues. The setting is a Neolithic earth-like planet in which a race of space-faring and shape-shifting beings crash lands and become the elves of later human myths. The World of Two Moons is a brutal one, where the elves magic is unpredictable and weak. Humans fear the elves and delight in their extermination. This forces those surviving elves to fragment and retreat to survive in such a harsh, bleak world. The main story focuses on the tale of a tribe of elves, the Wolfriders, who set out to reunify a scattered people and reclaim their celestial heritage. While not exhaustive, the game's summary is an excellent treatment of the story. ElfQuest is based off of Chaosian's standard RPG system, the most well known being Call of Cthulhu. Those familiar with CoC, or any of Chaosium's games, with find it a relatively painless transition to the ElfQuest mechanics. Attributes are as follows: Strength (STR), Dexterity (DEX), Size (SIZ), Constitution (CON), Intelligence (INT), Appearance (APP) and Power (POW). These are rolled randomly (personal icky for me but you can always fudge and let players assign their rolls once done) on a variety of d6 combinations, determined by the elf culture you choose. For example, a Wolfrider will roll 2d6+6 for CON, a Sun Folk Villager 2d6+5, a Glider 2d6+4 and a Go-Back 2d6+7. The normal starting tribe is Wolfrider, depending on your campaign, so stats for generating elves from this tribe are included in the chapter. Other tribes (and species) are included in the last chapter of the book, alongside brief but adequate cultural descriptions. Secondary stats, like hit points (your SIZ and CON averaged), magic points (your POW), base skill percentages, height and weight are derived from the basic attributes. Age is determined randomly, and affects both the total number of skill points you have to assign to your skills, which are percentile-based, and whether or not your character has "recognized", a.k.a., finding your soul mate. Once you have your skill points, you can allot them as you see fit, whether that means making your elf the most proficient huntress in the band, cautious herbalist or anything in-between. There are no classes and no levels skills are raised through in-game use or training. Next is the game system, a series of elegant mechanics that flow pretty smoothly and intuitively. You roll your skill (or your default, based on your attribute) in any situation. If you roll under the skill's percentage value, you succeed. Roll really low and enjoy a special or critical success; roll really high and you will fumble. Charts indicating unusual results are provided both in the book and in the reference sheets. As you play the game and use a skill successfully, it's checked off and at the end of the session a roll is made to see if you increase in skill. If you roll higher than your skill, you get to roll to see how much you improved simple as that. This system reflects how easy it is to learn the basics of a skill and how hard it is to progress further once you have a high proficiency. You can also train those skills under the tutelage of a more proficient PC or NPC. A detailed skill list follows this section as well as the magic section, detailing how it works and what powers are available, although magic is less magical and more psionic in nature. Combat is handled a little differently in ElfQuest than it is in Call of Cthulhu, because of the nature of ElfQuest. These cutesy elves fight. A lot. But it's all in context. As such, combat is modified to replicate different kinds of weapons and physical ability, giving rise to the Strike Rank. Your character's strike rank determines combat order and is calculated by a character's Strength, Dexterity, and the strike rank of their weapon. The better your attributes and the faster your weapon, the lower your strike rank will be. The math is done before hand and written on the sheet, so no struggling to come up with numbers during play. Combat begins with the character with the lowest strike rank, followed by the next lowest, and so on until all have attacked. Damage is determined by weapon. The short sword does 1d6+1, for example. Because elves have a finite (and small) pool of hit points, combat is fairly lethal. Hit locations add for added depth and realism. Like the series itself, elves can and do die. Worldbook And there are lots of things to kill them! After a Gamemaster's introduction, the Worldbook discusses all the nasty ways the world can hurt a hapless elf, hence the chapter title, "Hazardous World." A complete selection of world flora and fauna comes next, with special attention paid to wolves, one of the more prominent species in the stories, but you will also find descriptions for some fantasy creatures; no dragons here, but you will find giant birds, dinosaur-like shell-backs, and semi-intelligent strangleweed plants. Last but not least is the inclusion of three scenarios to use with your players. Two of the scenarios are adaptations from the original story material; one where the elves must rescue a tribe member from a dire fate at the hands of the humans and another where they must defend the holt from a creature spawned from long-forgotten elfin magic. The last one is an original scenario, where a mad, aged elf warps a woodland copse into his spidery abode. A fairly complete ElfQuest glossary completes the volume. Included Accessories An RPG that includes copious character sheets, errata, quick reference tables and examples of play always wins brownie points with me, so I was very pleased at their inclusion in the boxed set. These are also included in the second, trade paperback printing. The map is a parchment colored and hand drawn by Wendi Pini herself. All the locals of the series are mapped out and artwork from the series decorates the border. The character sheets are a great help and if you use them all up, there is another printed on the inside cover of the Elfbook. The Supplements:What's a game without supplements, right? There are only three supplements to the game, which is impressive considering the small market for it (kudos to Chaosium here), so I've included mini-reviews on each to be thorough. ElfQuest Companion Out of all the supplements published for the game, this is the book to make sure you have. As said earlier, this book was included with the second edition. You can certainly play the game without it, but it has lots of nice stuff to play with, specifically; a series of random tables for character creation, including everything from eye color to scars to clothing material. Even if you don't want to go random, you can use this as an inspiration guide. There are several excellent essays on how the ElfQuest role-playing experience is different from other games, which may be helpful to the player not accustomed to the comics. Also included is Wolfhaven Holt, an elf tribe based on a splinter tribe of Wolfriders. This is followed up by two more adventures, one for Wolfriders, one for Plainsrunners. The Companion includes more of the sumptuous artwork of the comic series and mini-characters for the rest of the main story characters. Sea Elves This supplement details a non-series elf tribe called, surprisingly enough, Sea Elves (though later, there would be two comics featuring two different Sea Elf tribes). It takes the barebones supplied in the main rulebook and builds an entire aquatic culture for players. Three scenarios complete the book; one details an entire Sea Elf community that the Gamemaster can use to base a campaign on. Elf War The last of the published supplements, Elf War is split into two sections. The first half, Beyond the Frozen Mountains, is reserved for detailing an alternative northern culture (though, in reality, it is very similar to the Go-Back tribe), the northern world (handy if you are running Go-Back scenarios) and a brief scenario. The second half, Elf War, details the events of two tribes fighting each other as a result of an untimely love affair. Most handy, however, is the last page, which details alternate rules that simplify combat in the game. Most are simple enough that the Gamemaster likely would have thought of them already, such as dropping strike ranks altogether in favor of letting dexterity determine attack order. Great to get if you want a complete set of books, but certainly not a must have. A small side note: If you really want to stick to as close to cannon as humanly (elfinly?) possible, grab yourself a copy of the Wolfrider's Guide to ElfQuest, a non-game book designed for readers that contains a complete (as of printing) timeline, huge glossary, character list, and more. The Pitfalls:The box suggests a few play styles, such as recreating the original tales playing the characters from the series. The mini-characters make this possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. Players new to ElfQuest may not understand the story arc and players familiar with the story likely don't want to replay it, unless you, as the Gamemaster, want to completely change the story. Part of the potential fun of ElfQuest is creating new tribes and new lands to adapt the stories to. What if there was a tribe of elves bonded to mountain lions or who lived among, not separate, from humans? One of the other pitfalls of the game, though one that can be avoided by the inventive GM, is the tendency to have a campaign digress to nothing more than hunting for your food, recognizing your mate, and having children. ElfQuest has always been about something much grander in scope than day-to-day life. Those parts, unless important to the story, were skipped over in the comic. The Quest was about searching for the larger answers, finding your ancestors, reuniting the lost tribes to reclaim hope for a planet-marooned people. As a GM you need to think in terms of the larger plot arc and where the campaign is heading. Without it, the game won't have the same emotional punch of the series. Lastly, since the game was released, the ElfQuest comic has changed in leaps and bounds. The elves now inhabit a world where humans have reached a medieval technology level. Some of the stories are set in the future, where humans are an advanced, space-faring race, where magic is more powerful, and where an alien race has made contact. The original game was never intended to handle such things and if you want to take your campaign in that direction, you may find your hands tied. My suggestion grab your GURPS books and start converting. A copy of GURPS Ice Age, Magic, and Fantasy Races to cook up your species templates, and you can add the higher technology levels, via GURPS Space, at your leisure. Overall:If you are an ElfQuest fan, and a role-player, get this game! How can you not have this game already? Copies still exist out there, some on dusty game shop shelves and some in cyberspace auctions. If you are a general fantasy game fan, this game may be worth a look to shake up your perceptions of elves or to add to your collection. As an adaptation of the series, the RPG is exceptionally faithful and well done, but will be of less appeal to non-fans. It's hard to get something like this wrong when the series creators, Wendy and Richard Pini, were part of the development process. My style rating is only three, because the layout is not a color graphic-wowwie presentation we've come to know and love in the 90s and new century, though the inclusion of Wendy Pini's artwork earns many brownie points for me. My substance rating is four, except when talking about the reprinted, single-volume book, in which case my rating is five. Shade and Sweet Water! - Sun Folk Farewell

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
It is a very good school . The teachers are highly educated, very considerate to their students. Students are comfortable in their classes. I have no complain at all. This school should get all support from the city. S.h
As an alumni of Bayside High School I am going to say that there is good and bad. No school is perfect but I am going to explain what I have seen in my four years here: The good: I will admit that Bayside gave me a great all round education and had me very prepared for the work in college. The bad: As a general A+ student I was recommended to take trigonometry my sophomore year and the teacher (ms. Kohler) was awful. She had no control of the class and would laugh at everything even if it wasn't funny. She made me fail my first regent and I had to get tutoring at a place out of school to take it again in the winter. A lot of times I would walk into certain places like the locker rooms and hallways and it would smell like marajuana. It wasn't too hard to get a hold of that in this school. I witnessed seeing high children pacing up and down the lunchroom with the aides not even noticing. And worst of all I had a female stalker that was banned from the school and somehow she was able to get in through the door other children were leaving from that were finished with their day. She was just able to blend in and walk in with no one noticing. Talk about terrible security.
Bayside is an excellent school. I took great advantage of AP classes, the sports and the student organization (clubs). My high school experience is one that I will never forget and this school shaped me as a person. The staff is great from guidance counselors, to teachers, to security. Of course not everyone is the best but there are a handful (the majority I'd say) that are definitely on your side as a student. I did not personally like the principal, but I rarely delt with him so it didnt matter. Overall Bayside maintains a special place in my heart and strongly recommend this school for any student who is looking to make their high school experience one full of opportunities and fun. The key is to get involved and slowly you'll see how much that changes you as a student at Bayside, in the eyes of your peers and the faculty.
Bayside is a horrible High School. The school is overcrowded, and the teachers can't control the classes. Students do what they want in this school. Parents please don't be fooled by what the principal tells you when you attend the freshman orientation. Kids are contstaty using their cellphones, taking pictures, videos and updating their social websites directly from the class. I personaly have been in the hallways of this school and I was horrifed to see what young girls and boys do while school is session. If you want your child to get a good education they will not get it at Bayside HS just warrning you!
Absolutely the best school for my three children- two now attending and one already graduated and in college. The principal and staff are very educationally minded, a little strict, but a lot of fun.
horrible high school. Some of the teachers in this school are decent and other teachers are just horrible. They dont care about your grades or help explain the work. This school rather spend money to buy flat screen and hang it around hallsway then spending on other useful stuff. also this school makes student swipe out which is ridiculous. Overall half the adults in this school dont really care about student. They just want students to graduate on time at any costs. This will make the school graduation rate higher but it doesnt make the students learn anything.
A pretty good school, It depends on which Teacher you get. Since the school got overcrowded when all the Freshman's came in, I think it made the teachers overwhelmed with work, making the teachers be very disorganized, and have a tight schedule. Now it's a bad school.
Excellent neighborhood high school! All three of my children were fully prepared for college work by attending BHS. They received opportunities here that they wouldn't have if they attended the more "selective" science high schools. The students are challenged here to do their very best and if they show aptitude, they are strongly encouraged to do honors work. The Teachers here are exceptional and hold high standards for the students. Principal is caring, visible and easily approachable. There is a small group of very dedicated Parents who are involved at school, which is probably typical of all high schools. Known for their Math/Science, Art, and Music programs.
Bayside is number one when it comes to communicating with parents as well as keeping parents involved in their children's education.
Bayside HS provided me the happiest days of my life with fun, wonderful people, and unforgettable education for the future.
Bayside High School has a wonderful feel about it from the moment you step inside. Not only is it architecturally beautiful, Bayside High School always strives and achieves great accolades in diversity and academic achievements. No wonder so many parents want to send their teens here and no wonder many of their teens want to travel (some quite far) to this great school.
i love bayside. With all of my heart. its the only reason why i didnt drop out yet. No matter what, someone is always here for me in this school. it just touches my heart the way the school helps the student body. This school is perfect for american teenagers. i think everyone should go to this school. from the activities to the sports, this school has a lot to do. <33333 bayside its amazing.
Bayside is a great school. Teachers and students are all very supportive. Bayside is like one big family. :D

Perdido Key Condo Rental - Tenth Floor 2BR/2bth Condo

Perdido Sun condo description
This highly-upgraded two bedroom Perdido Sun beach front tenth floor condo has been equipped with a King bed in the master bedroom, two twins in the guest bedroom, and a sleeper sofa in the living room. The condo is literally right on the Perdido Key beach and the master bedroom has corner windows in providing a breath-taking view both south and westward. The living room and both bedrooms have been furnished with televisions, two of which are LCDs, and a pair of DVD players.
We hope that the Tuscan decor will please all of our guests as it truly made the rental condo feel more like a vacation home as opposed to just another condo. No corners were cut in the kitchen which is complete with new appliances, granite countertops, and natural-wood cabinets. The living room is tiled and we even added a bit of flare with a custom inlaid decorative piece just before the master bedroom. The furniture is plush and comfortable and the living room leads out onto the private balcony. The two bathrooms were also remodeled in that one features a tiled walk-in shower, whereas the master bathroom has the tub/shower combo. This just seemed a bit more practical for the summers and convenient for our winter guests. When you stay in the condo be sure to check out the vanity in the guest bedroom... the basin is thick glass with a beach scene underneath!
We are proud to say that our condo is professionally managed; so that once you are there the friendly staff of Perdido Key Resort Management will be there to help you!

Hi Amy, nice to see you back. How've you been? Missed you!
HAAAPPY BIIIIRTHDAY TOOOO YOOUUU!!! HAAAPPY BIIIIRTHDAY TOOOO YOOUUU!!1 HAAAPPY BIIIIRTHDAY DEARRRR AAAAMMMMYYYY!!! HAAAPPY BIIIIRTHDAY TOOOO YOOUU!!! Have a great day!!
I see my sig pic is back , but yours isn't, WTF? I sent a couple of PM's to the mods bitching about it, and I guess it's fixed for now.
Hey there, how's everything? No more snow here yaaayyy!!! Now I can keep my truck clean
Howdy right back at ya! To answer your question, my exhaust was a direct bolt on using the factory hangers, and it fit perfectly. Same went for the system I had on my old '94 Sierra, I'd recommend Gibson to anyone, I've been highly satisfied with both systems I've had.
Hey Amy, you and your beautiful S10 are cordially invited to the Blue Truck Picture Thread! All your friends are already there!
Same old, same old. You know working, getting ready for Christmas, etc. Put my stock wheels back on for the winter, Lots of road salt in my area which as I'm sure you know is not very friendly to shiny chrome wheels! Although the wheels on my wife's Pontiac have held up very well, it's an '04 and the wheels have stayed on year round , maybe the quality was better 5 years ago, who knows, well hope you feel better, talk at ya later!
Hey did you notice I removed the fender flares!
Hi Amy, glad you are back and Happy Belated Birthday!!!!
What happened? where did you go? are you ok?
