Let's tackle one of the literary set's favorite orthodoxies head on: that the world "needs stories." There is an enormous need," Jonathan Franzen declares in an interview with Corriere della Sera (there's no escape these days), "for long, elaborate, complex stories, such as can only be written by an author concentrating alone, free from the deafening chatter of Twitter." What is the nature of this need? What would happen if it wasn't met? We might also ask: why does Franzen refer to complex stories? And why is it important not to be interrupted by Twitter and Facebook? Are such interruptions any worse than an old land line phone call, or simply friends and family buzzing around your writing table? Jane Austen, we recall, loved to write in domestic spaces where she was open to constant interruption.
Do we need to finish books? Is a good book by definition one that we did finish? Or are there occasions when we might choose to leave off a book before the end, or even only half way through, and nevertheless feel that it was good, even excellent, that we were glad we read what we read, but don't feel the need to finish it? I ask the question because this is happening to me more and more often. Is it age, wisdom, senility? I start a book. I'm enjoying it thoroughly, and then the moment comes when I just know I've had enough. It's not that I've stopped enjoying it. I'm not bored, I don't even think it's too long. I just have no desire to go on enjoying it. Can I say then that I've read it? Can I recommend it to others and speak of it as a fine book?
When you see the loser-figure in a novel, what you are seeing is a complicated bargain that goes something like this: yes, it is kind of immature and boorish to be thinking about sex all the time and ogling and objectifying women, but this is what we men sometimes do and we have to write about it. We fervently promise, however, to avoid the mistake of the late Updike novels: we will always, always, call our characters out when they're being self-absorbed jerks and louts. We will make them comically pathetic, and punish them for their infractions a priori by making them undesirable to women, thus anticipating what we imagine will be your judgments, female reader. Then you and I, female reader, can share a laugh at the characters' expense, and this will bring us closer together and forestall the dreaded possibility of your leaving me.
Creative writing schools are frequently blamed for a growing standardization and flattening in contemporary narrative. This is unfair. It is the anxiety of the writers about being excluded from their chosen career, together with a shared belief that we know what literature is and can learn how to produce it that encourages people to write similar books. Nobody is actually expecting anything very new. Just new versions of the old. Again and again when reading for review, or doing jury service perhaps for a prize, I come across carefully written novels that "do literature" as it is known. Literary fiction has become a genre like any other, with a certain trajectory, a predictable pay off, and a fairly limited and well-charted body of liberal Western wisdom to purvey.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: It is Tuesday and it has been bucketing down with rain....but..In full: I am still smiling remembering Sunday and one of my favourite races of the year. This is a fantastic 10m course with a bit of everything and always lashings of mud somewhere on the course. A real test, but so rewarding with varied terrain and views, and the race has my favourite finish. Firstly the panoramic views as you run along the ridge and then helter-skelter down through the woods and then opens out so you run down the path through the vines and always a treat to be greeted by the race director on the finish line - fab! Thanks to all at ETL, your events are consistently professional and slick and always with a twinkly of a sense of fun. Date of review: October 14, 2014
In short: Star Wars In The Surrey HillsIn full: I was overtaken by a Star Trooper, but I then passed him again and then later on I passed Darth Vader, not quite what you expect on the Surrey Hills. This was the biggest Bacchus event yet and done with aplomb. The organisation was amazing, and the marshals fantastic with a special nod to the pirate marshals at the drinks station just after mile 5. To all at ETL and their band of merry helpers, I say thank you it was a great day out even if I was pipped at the post by a chicken - squwark!Date of review: September 15, 2014
In short: Lumpy, Bumpy and great funIn full: This is one of the nicest races to do. Great fun and camaraderie with the runners, fantastic support and the usual Dr Rob sprinkling of magic. A great local race and one of my favourites. Many thanks to Rob and his band of merry marshals.Date of review: September 8, 2014
In short: Slow, slow, quick quick slowIn full: Didn't see any badgers on the course but did think the course was more of a foxtrot of slow, slow, quick quick slow, with the fabulous mix of lung busting climbs through hills and twisting paths in the woods to the long speedy paths.Fantastic atmosphere and organisation, with Denbies and the Surrey Hills making the perfect backdrop. Superb course marking and marshalling over a very twisty and clever course. Brilliant camaraderie and a great morning all round. I must echo what Rob says about the noise polluters and it is such a shame when ETL went to great lengths in all their instructions to explain the rules and the reasons why as well. However, none of this detracts from a fabulous event and thanks to Alan, Nicky and all the RTL team.Date of review: July 14, 2014
In short: The Trionum Army Marches On In full: I started yesterday with a cycle and swim and rounded it off with a run, so a triathlon done. However, as did not do the picnic off to do that today, as still smiling from a wonderful afternoon playing on Box Hill. It is a great varied run in terms of terrain and scenery,a bit like those packets of variety mini boxes of cereals and by the end you are sure going snap, crackle and pop! Fantastic camaraderie and that is the joy of the out and back route, brilliant marshalls and of course to Dr Rob, the piper, the Roblets and all the team. Your hard work is greatly appreciated, and other race directors can but only aspire to being able to consistently put on such great events. Right back to making the picnic for the day, wouldn't want to be a sandwich short!Date of review: June 22, 2014
In short: Tip, Top, TraillingIn full: Nicky said this was my sort of race and I would love it and for the first year it has not clashed with the same weekend as the Midsummer Munro so I was really looking forward to the race.Dash it, the gal was right, it was just my sort of race, hilly, varied and stunning scenery. Fast, bits slow bits, boggy bits and a whoop of welcome back at the finish from Alan. Amazing organization, a race for runners by runners,a great course. Superb marshals who all had a smile and an encouraging word as we went round.Many thanks to Nicky, Alan and ETL team. Date of review: June 16, 2014
In short: Running Round Richmond In The Sun Was Fun!In full: One of the nicest marathons I have done and this was my second time and although my time was slower this year from last I loved the sun. The park was very scenic and the supporters willing us on both uplifting and appreciated especially the last 7 mile loop. The marshalls were all fantastic and loved the iceman just shame he melted before my last loop round! A few more flags and pointers round the course would be great but I didn't actually go awry. A really huge effort from Gareth and his team with some great little touches. So thank you to all fellow runners, marshalls and supporters and Gareth for a great day out and sure as heck made my birthday special!Date of review: May 22, 2014
In short: Happily Wooggling AlongIn full: Very friendly race and brilliant signs and marshaling. You could tell this was a race for runners by runners and what a stunning route and scenery and wonderfully varied both in scenery and terrain. Everyone was very friendly and relaxed. Well done to the BVR and thank you for a great morning.Date of review: May 12, 2014
In short: The sun, has got his hat on hip, hip, hooray, the sun has got his hat on and we all went out to play!In full: A fabulous morning, starting with watching the hilarious wife carrying race that gets better every year and this year was a real hoot, with the race director himself showing what a sport he is by joining in. After that jollity, a rousing chorus of the national anthem and off we went for 13.1 miles of some of the most stunning scenery and one of the loveliest routes on the racing calendar. The camaraderie was fantastic and as ever the marshals all cheered us on and whooped us on our way. The organisation of Trionium events is always meticulous and thank you as ever to Dr Rob to his attention to detail and hey loved the goodies at the end. I proudly put my Trionium carrot in my glass and with my medal round my neck walked away with a big grin. All your hard work is appreciated and well done for arranging the weather, now that was a stroke of genius!Date of review: March 17, 2014
In short: One of my favouritesIn full: Great organisation, fantastic and enthusiastic marshals and a great HQ. This was the first race I ever did in 2008 and I come back each year. It is just what a local race should be, well organised by runners, for runners. Well done to 26.2 and many thanks. Date of review: February 19, 2014

text: I found this on the SCA Arts list, and thought many would be interested. -Caro --------- Begin forwarded message ---------- Hello to the list. Today in the "Baltimore Sun", there is an article about a "palimpset" (a twice-used book) which is being preserved and displayed at the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore. The original text is a 10th century copy of Archimedes' "Method of Mechanical Theories" and is the only surviving text of it. The book also contains another Archimedes thesis, "On Floating Bodies." The text has been overwritten in the 13th century probably by a monk who then wrote a treatise on religious rites. The book is on loan from its private owner and will be on display from 20 June to 5 September.

Common House Spiders
House spiders occur throughout the world and have derived their name from their presence inside human dwellings. A number of species are classified as house spiders, although the common house spider is the most recognized. These arachnids are also sometimes referred to as American house spiders.
Female common house spiders measure 5 to 8 mm in length, while males measure only 4 mm. Common house spiders are typically brown or gray in color, with darker chevron markings along their bodies.
The presence of common house spiders is typically characterized by the formation of cobwebs. These silken thread structures can be found throughout infested homes. This abundance of empty webs is caused by the common house spider's propensity to spin webs in various locations until it finds the most suitable place to catch prey.
Webs are designed as trapping mechanisms and are funnel-shaped, with the narrow end acting as a den for the arachnid. Any contact made with the web produces vibrations throughout the strand, signaling to the common house spider that prey is present. Although common house spiders feed primarily on insects, they may also consume larger spiders, scorpions, rodents and small reptiles.
Mature common house spiders live for approximately one year, during which time females are capable of generating up to 3,000 eggs. Unlike some other spider species, male and female common house spiders may choose to cohabitate and mate numerous times.

The Top Hat is designed to offer the shooter a quick moving target that rolls smooth as well as incorporate the sharp reactions that the Hot Box offers. Being round and tall, the Top Hat will jump, bounce, roll, dance, and hop all over the shooting area. It is 4.25" in diameter and makes for a large target for any size caliber. This gives the shooter a super reactive target, large size, and the ability to have a hands free shooting system. The technologically advanced material will handle thousands of rounds from .22LR-.50 caliber as well as all Shotgun Calibers.

stop overthinking things stop comparing myself to other people stop dwelling on the past stop thinking negative thoughts
Also I went into Schuh today to show my face and my boss said if I'm coming back at weekends then I can work if I want. I didn't even ask him about it.
I was so worried about disappointing my parents due to uni problems and stuff, crying my eyes out because of my own thoughts. This weekend they told me that I could never disappoint them and it makes me want to cry in a different way haha
I just want one week where I don't cry, please.
Sitting here when I should be sleeping

Scanning the Savanna searches the web for Detroit Lions content each morning and brings it to your fingertips in one easy location.
Lions convert receiver Dominique Curry to tight end
Chris McCosky – The Detroit News
The Lions did not draft a pass catching tight end, which was somewhat of a surprise since both Brandon Pettigrew and Tony Scheffler are entering the final year of their contracts.
They did draft a very promising traditional tight end in the seventh round, Michael Williams from Alabama, to replace veteran Will Heller. He might be good enough to step in and be the third tight end, but he's not going to offer the same receiving threat of Scheffler or Pettigrew.
2013 NFL Draft: Detroit Lions Draft Grade
Blake Meek – NFL Mocks
I thought the Lions did very well overall. I love the Ansah and Warford picks. The Slay pick could be another really good one if his knee heals fine. Taylor and Fuller offer a lot of upside and Riddick is a good insurance policy in case Reggie Bush gets hurt.
Detroit Lions not concerned about Larry Warford's weight
Justin Rogers – MLive.com
New Detroit Lions guard Larry Warford weighs approximately 330 pounds. Believe it or not, this is a slimmed-down version of the former Kentucky standout.
During his senior year in 2012, Warford struggled with his weight, with some reports indicating he was tipping the scales near 350 pounds.
Martin Mayhew: Never say never on Tim Tebow
Brad Biggs – National Football Post
Within hours of Tim Tebow's release Monday morning from the New York Jets, teams across the league were letting the word slip out.
We've got no interest.
Perhaps there is a home out there somewhere for the former Heisman Trophy winner from Florida and the first-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos in 2010. The Detroit Lions didn't slam the door on the idea, at least.

The rumors and Omer Asik trade scenario ideas started up again this week, starting with ESPN's Bill Simmons, who stated that an Asik for Ryan Anderson swap makes the most sense for both the Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans. Check it out at the 8-minute mark:
While Anderson would fit in nicely as the stretch-4 that the Rockets are looking for, and had great success playing with Dwight Howard in Orlando, I think it's still a little risky to deal Asik within the division. Plus, Asik's value as an excellent rim protector and rebounder could be used better to try to look for a more complete player.
That's when ESPN's David Thorpe came on ESPN's TrueHoopTV and gave 2 deals that would make sense for the Rockets: trading Asik as a part of a package to the Miami Heat for Chris Bosh, or another package deal involving Asik to the Golden State Warriors for Andrew Bogut and Harrison Barnes:
While those scenarios are entertaining, it would take a lot for either the Heat or Warriors to want to pull a deal like that.

I'll get this out of the way up front: I'm not much of a fan of romances of any sexual orientation. But I am a fan of cultural curiosities, so sitting through two new polar-opposite romances in a single week provided its own brand of overwrought appeal. While the diverting (though a bit overearnest) Zac Efron vehicle/longform HGH infomercial The Lucky One is poised to invade the hearts of millions this weekend, another romance of a very different breed opens in limited release in New York City (with a run in LA to follow in May).
Going Down in LA-LA Land tells the story of Adam (Matthew Ludwinski), an aspiring actor who relocates from NYC to Los Angeles to live with his longtime friend and fellow fame-seeker, Candy (Allison Lane). Once on the sun-soaked streets of Hollywood, Adam finds that getting auditions for film and television is tough – but landing in front of the camera in the adult entertainment market is surprisingly easy when you're young, dumb, and full of … ambition. A series of questionable decisions later, Adam is a prostitute with a junkie boyfriend (writer/director Casper Andreas) and he finds himself caught up in a tabloid-ready scandal with a closeted TV star (the adorable Michael Medico).
As Hollywood romps go, Going Down doesn't stray far from the formula – it's got pretty people doing ugly things, drugs, sex, cameos, and lots of sassy-looking drinks. And as our hero's increasingly poor judgment takes him farther from his dreams of mainstream stardom (and further and further down the lube-spattered path to XXX infamy), things get ugly – at least, in theory. The film is so uninterested in passing judgment on Adam's decisions, his friends, and their behavior that even the most audacious turns are met with a shrug and a smile. Heck, this movie even manages to make an overdose seem like good, clean fun.
Going Down is an interesting creature – it's not really funny enough to qualify as a romantic comedy, yet it's too blithely uninterested in taking any of its darker elements seriously to be considered a cautionary tale. Its sunny disposition rules out drama (as does the parade of WTF cameos provided by the likes of Bruce Vilanch, Alec Mapa, Perez Hilton and the incomparable Judy Tenuta), and it's too straightforward to be called a Hollywood satire. So in many ways the movie is much like its lead character: pretty and endearing, but too indecisive to really go anywhere.
I realize that faulting a romantic dramedy for being too good-natured is like hating on a Cocker Spaniel for being too cute. Part of me gives credit to Andreas (and possibly Andy Zeffer, the writer of the semi-autobiographical novel, which I have not read) for managing to make a downward spiral seem as pleasant as a mid-afternoon trip to Pinkberry, which is in its own way somewhat transgressive. But another part of me wonders if giving the story a little more teeth might have resulted in a more engaging film – because while I wasn't necessarily bored, I wasn't particularly moved by Adam's story, either.

We've all heard it before: there is serious disagreement among scientists about whether climate change is caused by humans.
Well a new study says that, well, that claim is downright false.
In fact, about 97.1 percent of climate scientists who've ever written on the topic agree that it's caused by people like us expelling CO2 into the atmosphere.
Study: Scientists almost unanimously agree that man is to blame for climate change

What do you think of Tomodachi Life?Got the demoWhat do you think of Tomodachi Life? by Doom-the-wolf
Nintendo recently sent me a code for the "Tomodachi Life Welcome Version". I downloaded it and tried it out. The characters' personalities were sometimes interesting in the rare moments they showed any, but the game seemed incredibly empty and slow. I immediately ran out of things to do. I am hoping this does not reflect the content of the actual game. I felt like there was potential, but it didn't seem good enough.
Have you played?
If you've played the full game, what do you think about it?
Was it more or less entertaining than Animal Crossing? How would you compare the two games?
Is it something you can play for long periods of time? Or just something to check on every once in a while?
Did the game focus too much on romance and social issues? Or did it have enough fun activities?
Do you have to create eery single character on the island yourself?

Hi I'm Hali B. Muller, a 18 year old young adult with a huge goal in mind. My dream occupation which I want to make real is to become a famous author and director/actress, but mostly an author. My favorite thing to do is RP with my best friend and make up characters for our role playing games. Now it's time for my hobbies, which are drawing, acting, writing, singing, reading, and watching Anime. My favorite Anime shows are Naruto, Naruto Shippuden,
Death Note , Wolf's Rain, Devil May Cry, Fullmetal Alchemist, Black Butler, Inuyasha, Soul Eater, Rosario plus a vampire, High School of the Dead, Blue Exorcist, and Hell girl. My favorite manga is Vampire Knight, Hell Girl, Vampire Dolls, Arm of Kannon, Shammon King, Reborn, and a lot of the Anime shows I listed. My favorite type of music is Alternative, Pop, Rock, Metal, Heavy Metal, Death Metal, and classical. My favorite colors are Black, Scarlet, and Crimson. I also love horror movies, but my other favorite movie Genres are Mystery, Suspense, Thiller, and Drama. Don't get me wrong I'm cool with romance if it has a good catch to it, (for example Romeo and Juliette's forbidden love.) My favorite bands and songs are Evanescence: All songs; Disturbed: Into the Fire, The Night, and Another Way To Die; Neon trees: Animal; Owl City: Fireflies; Gorillaz: Clint Eastwood, Feels Good INC., Mañana; Red Jumpsuit Apparatus: Face Down; Hail the Villain: Evil Has A Name, Runaway, and Take Back the Fear; The Doors: People Are Strange, Lost Little Girl, and Strange Days; The Beetles: All Together, Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds, Hey Jude, I Am the Walrus, Across the Universe, and Revolution; Three Days Grace: The Riot, Scared and Lonely, and I Hate Everything About You; My Chemical Romance: All songs, especially "House of wolves" and Green Day: Broadwalk of Broken Dreams, and Holiday. My favorite singers and songs are Kerli: Walking On Air; and lady Gaga: Bad Romance, Paperazi, Pokerface, Born This Way, Love Game, Judas, and Speechless. My two role models are my dad and lady Gaga. My dad because he's the one who inspired the inner Film Maker/Actress in me by being the coolest dad/actor ever! Lady Gaga because she inspired me to be who I am and not what others define as normal. The funny thing is normal doesn't even exist because nobody is normal! Normal is just another way of saying wannabee if you think about since wannabee is just another way of saying you want to be just like something! Just think about how silly that sounds calling someone normal is like saying they're the same as all the other wannabees out there. Well, fellow deviants today I'm here to tell you nobody is alike we are all born unique to represent ourselves and if being normal means hiding myself from who I really am then I don't want to be normal. Oh, and just for the record, I don't care if I'm bullied for being myself cause my friends taught me that there is strength in numbers . In fact, being called weird is the best compliment I can receive cause I'm proud of who I am. The only thing I wish I can change about myself is my severe allergies to diary products , but other than that I love my life. My favorite snacks are Nondairy Ice Cream and Munchos. My two favorite countries are Japan and Italy. I have two dogs who I got after my German Shepherd, Boo died; a German Shepherd rambunctious female named Bella and a sweet, gentle giant Albino Siberian Husky named Simba. I used to have a hamster named Snowball, but he got really sick toward the end of his life and sadly died. I miss him, but he'll always be with me and to make sure of that I buried him in my backyard. I'm an only child though I count my best friend as my little sister. I have dark brown hair which is mostly held back in a pony tail, dark brown eyes , long eyelashes, a beauty mark on my left cheek, a beautiful smile so they say lol, tanned skin, long nails which are like my trophy for breaking my nail biting habit, I have a high voice that sounds like a ten year old, My height is about 4'10", and I weigh about 86 pounds. Last, but not least the type of computer I have is a Macbook Pro. Laptop.

My Story
My story is nothing tragic or heart-wrenching, but it's what I've got.
I suppose I've almost always been overweight. As a child it never bothered me too much, but I had my days. Like the time my mother set up a "mini-olympics" for my brother and my cousins and me at our cottage one year, and I excused myself to the washroom so I could bawl my eyes out at the fact that I came in last in everything. Or the time my mom and I were watching some celebrity gossip show that was talking about how all these girls were so thin and light and wonderful, and I dragged my mom to the bathroom downstairs, stepped on the scale, and started crying because I was a good 5 to 15 years younger than all the girls on TV, and a good 10 to 20 pounds heavier than them.
It wasn't until I started to get a bit older, probably mid-way through grade six, that I started to realize that all my friends were much, much smaller than I was. My self-esteem took a fairly harsh hit, but I knew that I had the ability to change it if I wanted to. And I knew enough about EDs to stay away from them.
So I started educating myself about healthy weight-loss. In the sixth grade. I would go on to the Oprah website or the Dr. Phil website and find as much as I could. I was looking for a magic trick that could make me skinny and normal, but all I ever really found, if you broke it down enough, was to eat right and exercise - something I didn't have much experience with. My parents never really put restrictions on what I was putting into my body, or how much of it was going in, and the most exercise I got was jump rope club on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and community club basketball twice a week. Obviously that wasn't enough to counteract my eating habits.
I never really had an honest conversation with my parents about wanting to lose weight. I knew that they knew I wanted to, but they never really took action to help me, so I figured I could do it without them.
But I was really young. I hardly knew anything about nutrition. I didn't understand the concept of calories in vs. calories out. I didn't know what I could do for exercise without my parents taking me for walks/bike rides etc., and I wanted to lose weight without their help. Long story short, I got nowhere.
Of course I've thinned out a bit naturally with growing taller and hitting puberty and whatnot, but I'm still very uncomfortable in my own skin, which is not how I want to be spending my teenage years. I finally had that honest conversation with my mom about wanting to lose weight just this year, and I'm sure she told my dad, but they still seem to show very little interest in wanting to help me. But I'm older, and I know a lot more now. I know that this is going to be a difficult journey, and I'll restart as many times as I need to in order for this to truly become my lifestyle.
I am Carly and I'm ready to start living the way I want. I'm ready to become myself.

Gulledge inks with Southwest
By BARRY BURLESON
Brionne Gulledge is taking her three-point shooting and her defensive skills to Southwest Mississippi Community College in Summit.
The H.W. Byers senior signed a basketball scholarship last week with the Lady Bears.
"She has a lot of basketball savvy," said coach Jason Thompson, who has seen Gulledge's progress firsthand at Byers. "She knows where to position herself on the court – offensively and defensively. I believe she will continue to improve and contribute at the next level."
Gulledge averaged five points a game as a sophomore, seven as a junior and 13 this past season.
She scored 847 points in her career at Byers, with almost half of those coming on three-pointers. She hit 141 threes. She also has 317 career steals and 259 rebounds.
"She can really shoot the three," Thompson said. "She can pull the defense out, with or without the ball, and create opportunities for the post players."
Defensively, Gulledge filled the role at Byers of guarding the other team's star player.
"She was one of my lockdown defenders," he said. "She played great defense. She could shut down the big-time players on the other teams."
Mark Swindle, who just completed his 10th season at Southwest, said he is "excited about her ability to shoot the three."
"We graduated 10 of 13 players from last year's team, and we're looking to regroup," Swindle said.
"Brionne (Gulledge) comes from an outstanding program here at H.W. Byers. They've had an amazing stretch the past few years, and you do that with quality players and quality coaches."
Gulledge was a part of back-to-back state championship teams at Byers in 2008 and 2009. This past season the Lady Lions were eliminated in the state semi-finals.

Egyptian pound slips again, but at slower pace
The Egyptian pound slid further on Thursday during the Central Bank of Egypt's fourth currency auction.
The auction is designed to offer a gradual devaluation of the pound.
During the week of auctions, the Egyptian Pound has lost three per cent of its value against the US dollar, although the pace of decline today has been slower, Reuters is reporting.
In recent days, there have been fears over the country's economy and the level of foreign currency reserves, although the Prime Minister, Hisham Kandil, has said Egypt is not facing bankruptcy.
So far this week, the Central Bank has sold $75 million in currency to banks during each of the four auctions.
As the country has slid further in to economic turmoil caused by political instability, companies and individuals have been trying to swap the pound for the safer dollar.

Once all the components are back in place, the easiest way to set lifter preload is to use the exhaust opening/intake closing method (EO/IC). With the valve covers off, rotate the crank clockwise by hand until the exhaust valve starts to open. You can identify the exhaust valve because it will line up with the header pipe. When the exhaust valve is roughly one-quarter open, stop and set the preload on the intake valve. A typical preload value for a street engine is between 1⁄4 and 1⁄2 turn after all the clearance between the pushrod and the rocker is removed.

Computerized assessment of pain drawing area: A pilot study
Authors Anna Wenngren, Britt-Marie Stålnacke
Published Date August 2009 Volume 2009:5 Pages 451—456
DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.2147/NDT.S5494

Aim: To investigate if pain area in patients with chronic pain could be measured by a computerized assessment on previously marked pain drawings on paper figures and to analyze the further application of the method.
Methods: Seventy-two patients (54 women and 18 men) who were admitted to Umeå University Hospital during 2003 for assessment of chronic pain answered a set of questionnaires (pain intensity on the visual analog scale [VAS], disability on the Disability Rating Index [DRI], life satisfaction on the LiSat-11) and filled in pain drawings on paper figures of the human body. The pain drawings were later analyzed by using computerized assessment.
Results: Women marked a greater pain area than men, but the difference was not significant (p = 0.433). No significant difference was shown for the previous seven days between men and women on the VAS (p = 0.914), DRI (p = 0.493), or LiSat-11 (p = 0.124). A statistically significant correlation was found between pain area and VAS for the previous seven days (r = 0.250; p = 0.046). Pain area was statistically significantly correlated to the DRI (r = 0.336; p = 0.014) and close to negatively correlated to the LiSat-11 (r = -0.687; p = 0.057).
Conclusion: This pilot study shows that pain drawing area could be measured by a computerized assessment of pain drawings. The method points to the possibility of relating pain area with other instruments. In the present study, an association between the patients' pain drawing area and pain intensity and between pain area and level of activity was shown.

After the Florida State Seminoles smoked Clemson 11-1 in the first game of their doubleheader against the Tigers today, Jameis Winston's 2.1-inning save secured yet another series victory for FSU, which reclaimed sole possession of first place in the ACC Atlantic division on the strength of a 4-3 victory this evening.
FSU starter Mike Compton got some timely defensive help in the first. After allowing a Tyler Krieger single to left, Garrett Boulware hit what looked to be a ground-ball single up the middle. But 'Nole second baseman John Sansone ranged behind the bag to snag the ball and execute an accurate cross-body relay to Justin Gonzalez, who fired it to first to complete the highlight-reel double play.
The Seminoles struggled to take advantage of Tiger gifts early. Clemson starter Jake Long handed out walks to start both the first and second innings, escaping the former on a diving catch in right and a running grab in center. He was even more fortunate in the second, when, after walking Jose Brizuela, he also issued a free pass to Brett Knief. He then hit John Sansone, loading the bases with nobody out. Clemson argued the play, saying Sansone leaned into the pitch. A Gage West pop out followed by strikeouts of Danny De La Calle and Josh Delph saw Long escape with an elevated pitch count but unscathed on the scoreboard.
The Tigers did capitalize on errant pitching in the bottom of the inning, getting a two-RBI double from Jay Baum after Compton walked Steven Duggar and Shane Kennedy with two outs, which gave Clemson a 2-0 lead. Baum then scored on Weston Wilson's RBI single up the middle, pushing the Tiger advantage to 3-0.
Long continued his generosity to FSU hitters in the third, walking D.J. Stewart. But he was also stranded as the 'Noles continued to search for their first knock. Through the first four frames, Florida State struck out five times without registering a hit.
That hit came in the fifth, when Justin Gonzalez doubled to left, but in what was a theme for FSU in the early going, the 'Noles were unable to capitalize on the chance, and he was left standing on second.
John Nogowski led off the sixth with a single and advanced to second on a wayward pick-off attempt. Jose Brizuela walked for the second time, and when Brett Knief singled to left, the Seminoles once again found themselves with the bases loaded and nobody out. John Sansone was again hit by a pitch, but this time home plate umpire Scott Erby decided that Sansone did lean in a bit too far, and he was called back to the plate and assessed a strike. He still delivered, though, driving in Nogowski on a sacrifice fly to center. But a Casey Smit pop out and a De La Calle fly out retired the side with the score 3-1.
A Chris Okey lead-off double down the left-field line got the Tigers going in the sixth, and after Compton walked Steve Wilkerson, Gage Smith took the hill for the 'Noles. Nogowski made a big play on a bunt, getting the lead runner at third, and the Seminoles looked primed to escape the inning when a taylor-made double-play ball was hit to Gonzalez. But Sansone dropped Gonzalez's flip to second, and Clemson found itself with the sacks packed and just one down. Smith, however, was his usual unshakeable self, fanning Wilson, who requested a timeout that wasn't granted, and getting Tyler Slaton to fly out to left.
Clemson pitcher Zack Erwin came in to pitch the seventh, and Josh Delph appeared to initiate something for the 'Noles, as his dribbler to the pitcher was thrown away, and he advanced to second. However, Erby again removed a Seminole runner from base, ruling that Delph ran inside the baseline to obstruct the throw. As a result, Delph was called out. The call especially stung when the next batter, Gonzalez, drove his first home run of the season over the left-field fence, bringing the tally to 3-2. D.J. Stewart followed that by dropping an opposite-field double into left field. With the tying run at second and one out, the Tigers went back to the bullpen for righty Clate Schmidt, who promptly walked Nogowski on four pitches. Jose Brizuela delivered, grounding his first hit of the series up the middle, which scored Stewart and tied the score, 3-3. Again Tiger skipper Jack Leggett went to the pen, this time opting for right-hander Matt Campbell, who hadn't allowed an earned run all year. Campbell struck out Knief, but Sansone got out in front of some Campbell heat and pulled a double down the left-field line to give FSU its first lead at 4-3. Pinch hitter Casey Smit also went down swinging to end the Florida State rally.
A one-out double by Garrett Boulware put the tying run at second in the Tiger seventh, prompting Mike Martin to bring in lefty Billy Strode. Strode retired Duggar, and Martin made the call for Jameis Winston with two outs and the tying run on third. Predictably, Winston was greeted by heavy boos from the Clemson faithful. He retired John Nogowski on a chopper up the middle. Gonzalez's throw was high, but Nogowski made a crucial stretch and got his toe on the bag to preserve the 'Nole lead.
Campbell stayed on for the Tigers in the eighth, and posted a 1-2-3 inning. Winston also returned to the mound and set down Clemson in order.
Brizuela worked Campbell for his third walk of the night with two down in the ninth, but Knief's third strikeout sent it to the bottom of the inning with FSU clinging to a 4-3 edge.
Winston retired one before Slaton's grounder back through the box put the tying run on base. But Winston induced a game-ending double-play, and the 'Noles left Clemson with a 2-1 series win.
Top-Ranked Florida State is now 19-4, with a 7-2 ACC record. The Seminoles return to action on Tuesday, when they face the Florida Gators in a neutral-site matchup in Jacksonville. The 'Noles will look to get one back from UF, which topped FSU 3-1 on March 18.

Broncos lose All-Pro LT Ryan Clady for season
9/18/13 in NFL | Matthew_Shovlin | 735 respect
Reports Wednesday, however, have ruled out a possible 2013 return for Clady, who will undergo surgery on his injured foot and miss the remainder of the season. The Broncos have already placed him on injured reserve.
Clady is truly one of the premier tackles in the game, particularly in pass protection. As the protector of Peyton Manning's blindside, Clady had been taking on an extremely important role in the Broncos' offense. The three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro will be replaced by Chris Harris, a 2010 undrafted free agent who has made six career starts. As I'm sure you have figured out, this is a big blow to the Broncos' offense, though you should not expect Peyton and company to struggle by any means - they'll just be less dominant.
The injury could mean even more snaps for running back Knowshon Moreno, who has gotten the majority of backfield work through the first two games due to his prowess in pass protection. Now missing one of the game's elite blindside pass protectors, Moreno's ability to keep Peyton upright becomes even more important.
The Broncos signed Winston Justice, formerly of the Eagles and Colts, on Wednesday. Justice may be best known for his NFL debut in 2007, during which he gave up six sacks to Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora. He'll be the backup at both left and right tackle now that Harris has been plugged in as a starter.
The Broncos remain Super Bowl hopefuls despite Clady's injury, but missing your best lineman at the offensive line's most important position will always hurt your chances of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.

The first paragraph of Facebook's motion to dismiss a securities class action that raised allegations about disclosures in its initial public offering was a no-brainer. Last February, U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet of Manhattan tossed four shareholder derivative suits based on the same underlying facts, concluding in a voluminous opinion that Facebook had "repeatedly made express and extensive warnings" about potential weaknesses in its revenue model as users shifted from desktop computers to mobile devices. So in May, when Facebook's lawyers at Kirkland & Ellis and Willkie Farr & Gallagher moved to dismiss the parallel securities class action, which is also before Judge Sweet, they quoted the judge's own words right back to him, not just in the first paragraph but seven more times in the dismissal brief.
To no avail, as it happened.
Sweet ruled earlier this week that Facebook IPO investors may proceed with their class action, holding that their consolidated complaint made out a sufficient case that the company failed to disclose material information about the impact of mobile usage on Facebook revenues and that the company materially misrepresented its knowledge of that impact. The judge noted twice – once in a footnote and once deep in the ruling in his discussion of materiality – that his new decision might seem to be at odds with his dismissal of the derivative suits. But after a long quote from the previous ruling that included his prior words about Facebook's "express and extensive warnings," Sweet called the language "dicta (that) does not change the analysis here."
So how does a judge move from his finding that a company has told investors all they need to know in advance of its IPO to a holding that (based on untested shareholder allegations, to be sure) those same disclosures and representations are materially deficient? Sweet gave two explanations: The derivative claims were based on an alleged breach of duty, which has a higher evidentiary standard, and class counsel from Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann and Labaton Sucharow managed to tweak shareholders' allegations to distinguish their arguments from those in the derivative suit.
In the class action ruling, Sweet looked separately at Facebook's alleged disclosure failures and misrepresentations, though they're really intertwined. At the heart of the shareholder claims is Facebook users' increasing reliance on mobile devices and the impact of that change on the company's advertising revenue. As you may recall, Facebook was concerned enough about losing ad revenue as users migrated to mobile devices to revise its projected quarterly revenue down during the IPO roadshow – a decision it communicated to selected analysts but not the investing public. Facebook argued in its motion to dismiss shareholder claims that it provided plenty of warnings about the loss of revenue, and that even the Securities and Exchange Commission does not require companies to disclose financial projections and internal valuations, so it committed no wrongs.
In the derivative litigation, Sweet agreed with Facebook. But in the securities case, shareholder lawyers asked him to look not just at the warnings Facebook did include in its offering documents but also at how those warnings lined up with what the company actually knew. As Sweet explained: "Plaintiffs contend that the company's registration statements used language that only suggested there was a possibility that Facebook would have difficulty in the mobile market and that Facebook's mobile user base was growing faster than its desktop user base when, in reality, these two trends were occurring and affecting Facebook's advertising revenues," he wrote. "Plaintiffs posit that the loss of revenues caused by the increasing mobile usage was a trend known by Facebook that the company had a duty to disclose."

Let us choose our route
Posted: January 23, 2013|
Regarding Trudi Davison's report "road closure will cut town in half" (Mail, January 16).
As part of the Beverley Southern Bypass plan, East Riding Council proposes to close Flemingate at the level crossing to all vehicles, to force use of the Southern Bypass instead of traffic going through Flemingate.
But as ward councillor Kerri Harold rightly says, it will cut the town in half.
All southern Beverley residents and all visitors coming up the A164 will be cut off from going along Flemingate when wishing to visit the Beverley Leisure Complex, the Flemingate Bowling Club green, the new shopping centre on the Beverley Museum site, a building supplies centre and several pubs, including Hodgson's.
Also, southern residents of Beverley wishing to visit the new hospital in Swinemoor Lane, or go to Tickton, Hornsea, etc, will have to go through the centre of Beverley.
Many bowling clubs located south of Beverley will be displeased to go a long way around when visiting Flemingate Bowling Club.
So why doesn't the council let people freely make their own choice of route to use the bypass or go through the town via Flemingate?
