Hi Dr Lam,
I inquired previously about revising my hair transplant scar and I appreciate your suggestion of the broken closure. I've decided I want to look at alternatives. The one thing I didn't ask you and I'm not sure It even showed up in my last picture is the redness. I have decided that I want to do scalp micropigmentation but before I do I feel for it to be effective I need to reduce the redness. I have included a couple pictures one that shows the redness better than the other. The picture is of the worst area. There are a couple of other areas that are much less severe. Any suggestions or solutions may have are greatly appreciated.

i wanted to title this post "stuffing my breasts", but then i realized that the phrase is "stuffing my bra" and then it didn't work.
anyway, i made stuffed chicken breasts for the first time ever last week!
i know, i know. they're soooo easy, how could i have not tried making them before?!?
well i don't know, but i did it now, ok?
and it was sooooo easy!
i decided to stuff them with feta cheese, spinach, and sun dried tomatoes. so, i just butterflied two chicken breasts, filled them up with my stuffing of choice, used toothpicks to pin them shut, and seasoned with salt & pepper.
i seared each side for a minute or two, then baked them for 30 minutes at 350* (they were pretty big pieces of meat, so for smaller breasts, i'd only bake them for 15-25 minutes.
that's it.
how simple is that?!? and honestly, at least in my mind, they seem a little "fancier" than the throw together in a half hour meal that it was. especially when you serve them with frozen trader joe's sweet potato fries that you can bake at the same time!
just wanted to share my new favorite way to eat chicken & hopefully if you've never tried stuffing chicken breasts before, you'll give it a try.
i spent a long time last night finishing up the current module for my iin studies. i'm trying to figure out when it will fit into my schedule to consistently stay on top of all the work that comes with iin without compromising the other parts of my life that i need to keep as priorities.
other than having a bit of trouble squeezing everything in without sacrificing too much (i know i know, i can't do it all, but i'm trying to do as much as i can!), i am loving my iin studies! one of my mom's friends has been emailing me recently with a lot of health and nutrition questions and i've been having so much fun answering her questions and helping her. this definitely confirms to me that i made the right decision by enrolling at iin. helping people with health and nutrition is what i love & now i'm learning to really do it well! it makes me happy.
one of our assignments right now is to complete health histories with other people. all it requires is for the other person to fill out a two-page questionnaire about their eating, sleeping, exercise, relationship, and other habits. then, over the phone or in person, we will discuss their answers for about 30 minutes. it's not anything formal and most certainly is not judgmental or coaching at this point since i don't have my certification yet. for me it provides crucial experience and for the participant it could provide insight into certain parts of their life that they might want to work on.
here's the part where i ask for a little help from you guys: would you be interested in participating in a health history? if so, you can email me 100% confidentially (firstname.lastname@example.com) and we can set one up! i'd love to talk to you, practice these calls, and potentially help you along your journey to health.
today i'm working from home on finally finishing up a work project that i've been working on for a while. i've been lacking some motivation to write (i'm working on a couple articles to submit to journals plus trying to start my dissertation), but i'm going to try to take gretchen rubin's advice and do nothing to help me get going. (if that statement sounded confusing, you should read this recent blog post from her…).
this sounds like a great idea for me to implement when i'm working – i am the queen of coming up with other projects to procrastinate, but if i give myself the option to work on my writing, or do nothing, i'm thinking i'll get more writing done than when i jump to a new task every 5 minutes! we'll see how it goes…
have you ever made stuffed chicken? what was your stuffing?
want to do a health history with me?
email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested!Pin It

The Chandler Elevation project faces yet another hurdle: Its owner must prove the long-vacant building shell is structurally sound.
This new requirement comes after city engineers raised concerns the building may not be able to support the weight it was designed for because the concrete and steel shell has sat unfinished for so long.
City planners will require the project's design engineers to certify the building hasn't been weakened and that its floors are strong enough to be occupied.
Planners notified Elevation developer Jeff Cline of their concern in October, according to documents recently released to the Tribune through a public records request. Cline told city officials and the Tribune that engineers have determined the building is safe.
"We haven't seen the report yet, so I don't know specifically what that means," said Doug Ballard, Chandler's planning and development director. "We're going to want to see a sealed report from the engineer."
Construction stalled in mid-2006 on the 10-story condo and hotel project, and unpaid contractors filed millions in liens against Cline's company, Signature Properties West. Cline later got a $25 million loan to resume work at the end of last year, then put the project up for sale early this year. Work never resumed on the project adjacent to Chandler Fashion Center.
Ballard is concerned the structural system could have weakened in the time the building has stood idle. It's constructed with post-tensioned concrete slabs, which involves running steel cables through the floors for support. That kind of flooring system needs weight placed on it when it's relatively new to stress the concrete, which strengthens it.
Buildings can weaken if they don't have this weight on them initially and become useless in extreme cases, Ballard said. The changing of the seasons adds more stress by exposing the flooring systems to changing temperatures before the structure has had weight on it, Ballard said.
"We don't know if that's a problem or not. It can be," Ballard said. "That's something we're going to want to be addressed by a structural engineer."
Cline said the developers spent several hundred thousands of dollars to add steel and concrete to the project after work stalled, to ensure the structure would stay in good condition. An engineer determined the building was fine in the past few weeks, Cline said.
"There have been absolutely no known structural issues ever with the building," Cline wrote in an e-mail. "A formal structural report will be submitted, as the city has requested, as part of the permit application when construction begins."
Cline said he's confident work will resume in a few months. He added he is under a confidentiality agreement that prevents him from giving specifics on the project's completion.
Mayor Boyd Dunn said if work can't resume on the site soon, the building shell needs to be torn down.
"If that's the only way to bring the site to order and to bring it to a safe condition, then I hope that would happen," Dunn said.
He cited the potential structural issues, the year of no progress and that part of the building was covered with graffiti this week as reasons why the shell shouldn't stay up much longer. Other midrise buildings are planned nearby, proving this area can attract other projects if the Elevation concept can't be salvaged.
But Councilman Martin Sepulveda said the city is in no position to call for demolition because it doesn't own the building.
"That doesn't solve anything," Sepulveda said. "We need to figure out a solution to move this project forward."

(A) In addition to the rights granted to the authority under rule 3334-1-10 of the Administrative Code, the authority may terminate a tuition payment contract and force a reallocation or liquidation of the account, except as otherwise provided in this rule, if the beneficiary has reached the age of twenty eight years. The authority shall provide to account owners having such accounts whose beneficiaries have attained said age, written notice of the proposed termination and advising said account owner that within thirty days following receipt of said notice, the account owner may either reallocate the entire amount in the account under said contract into the Ohio variable college savings program or may agree to said proposed termination and a liquidation of the entire account. If the account owner elects to reallocate, the authority shall determine the amount to be reallocated in an actuarially sound manner. If the account owner elects to terminate the contract and liquidate the account, the refund shall be equal to the current weighted average value of the tuition credits and/or tuition units as applicable as of the date of the request.. In either such event, the refund shall be calculated and disbursed by the authority to the account owner or such other person designated by the account owner not later than fifteen days following the aforesaid thirty day period. If the account owner receives the aforesaid thirty day notice but fails to notify the authority of its election within said thirty day period, then the account owner shall be deemed to have elected to terminate the contract and receive a full liquidation of the account. If the account owner does not receive said notice, then the authority shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (B) of this rule.
(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (A) of this rule, if the authority is unable to locate the purchaser, then the authority shall make a reasonable effort to locate the purchaser's designated beneficiary and/or any person designated by the purchaser to act on the purchaser's behalf. If the authority is unsuccessful in locating all of such persons, then the authority may terminate the purchaser's tuition payment contract and retain all amounts which would otherwise be payable thereunder. If the authority is able to locate any of such persons, then the authority shall advise such persons that unless the purchaser contacts the authority on or before thirty days from the date that such person receives notice from the authority, the authority will terminate the tuition payment contract of the purchaser and retain all amounts which would otherwise be payable under said contract. If the purchaser does contact the authority within said thirty day period, then the purchaser shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph (A) of this rule.
(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this rule, if the beneficiary has reached the age of twenty eight years but is currently serving in the United States military or is currently attending an eligible education institution on a continuous basis or is subject to other circumstances or conditions which the authority deems sufficient to authorize suspension of the application of either paragraph (A) and/or paragraph (B) of this rule, then the authority , upon receipt of documentation satisfactory to the authority establishing any of the foregoing, shall suspend taking any action under either paragraph (A) and/or paragraph (B) of this rule until such time that the beneficiary is discharged from the military service, discontinues his attendance at an eligible education institution or is no longer subject to the other conditions described above, whichever is applicable. Tuition payment contract account owners seeking suspension under this paragraph (C) shall be required periodically to submit such documentation as the authority may require in order to continue any such suspension in force.

Parkland Dismissals Linked to Patient Safety, Accountability
Among the nursing-related deficiency episodes identified by A&M:
- A patient death from respiratory arrest appeared to be related to the administration of a narcotic drug by a nurse who didn't possess either a written or verbal order from a physician for administration of the medication.
- In a one-week period five babies in the nursery received vaccine inoculations and had adverse reactions. Although nursing contacted the hospital pharmacy, neither nursing nor pharmacy completed a patient safety network report for any of the incidents. As a result multiple babies were affected and potentially suffered respiratory distress.
- Nursing staff could not locate or identify on computer the discharge planning screen and stated that they do not commonly refer patients to discharge planning. Parkland's case management department reported that referrals from nursing based on the initial nursing assessment were infrequent.
- An intake nurse in the emergency department placed in an open waiting room a patient reporting suicidal thoughts. The patient wasn't escorted immediately for care or provided a one-to-one sitter until care was available. The patient waited about 30 minutes and then disappeared. Following an intensive search and dispatch by the Parkland Police Department, the patient was recovered at home.
- An ED intake nurse failed to notice a mother and young child and mother on the floor under a water fountain in the ED waiting area. The intake nurse was unaware of the mother or child's presence or status in the waiting area and in fact was reading homework materials when interviewed by an A&M surveyor.

This is the absolute worst place to work. The other posts are spot on. CMS should shut it down.
A concerned doctor (3/19/2012 at 1:23 PM)
This is the first time that the staffs at Parkland and UT Southwestern have had to be accountable for their actions. Now, their incompetent staffs are whining that they have too many responsibilities to account for. That only tells you two things: 1. Parkland's staff never took responsibility for their actions before, and 2. now they are being held responsible for their actions, Parkland is too big, too impersonal, too dysfunctional, and is way too overcrowded to see the number of patients they are seeing. The answer for the feds, their safety monitors, the Parkland Board of Managers, and the Dallas County Commissioners is to break-up Parkland, close down non-compliant units (such as their Emergency Room, Surgery, Labor and Delivery, Psychiatric, and Orthopedics units), down-grade their horrible Level-1 Trauma unit, Burn unit and Emergency Rooms, and down-size their overall number of inpatient beds. The next steps after that are: 1. stop the $1.3 billion replacement hospital construction to make Parkland bigger, which is distracting from Parkland's only important business of becoming a safe and compliant hospital, 2. build more, smaller, responsive county community hospitals to meet the demands for Dallas' public health care needs, and 3. stop whining and take responsibility for your actions. I can't emphasize enough what a big embarrassment and black eye Parkland is to the entire health care profession. They are basically eroding the trust and confidence of the public in all health care professionals by their unprofessional conduct, and no health care professional should tolerate their shenanigans at this point. UT Southwestern should follow Parkland's lead and start firing their faculty members and administrators who have contributed to this mess. This kind of unprofessionalism by two institutions should not be tolerated by anyone within the profession and should be swiftly dealt with.
RN BSN (3/16/2012 at 10:37 AM)
I've been a dedicated nurse at the hospital for 5+ years. We have been given so many more responsibilities and accountabilities but have recieved no additional support. A number of my colleagues feel that everyday at work is a possible jeopardy to our licenses. There is so much to do/monitor for our patients in so little time, that it's just a matter of time before another mistake occurs. Every single employee on my unit has been preparing for their next job.

Tay Zonday, 'Chocolate Rain' - #22 - The 100 Most Iconic Internet Videos
- topic:
- 100 Iconic Videos
- Videos
- Music
Baritone wonder, Tay Zonday took the intertubes by storm with his quirky, original tune 'Chocolate Rain' in April of 2007. Recorded in his Minneapolis apartment, Zonday struck a cord with internet surfers through his tune's odd lyrics and random subtitle-turned-catchphrase:"I move away from the mic to breathe in". Zonday claims the song's lyrics reference deep racial issues, but the cheezy vibe and resulting internet fame have overshadowed any possible intentions for spreading awareness. Like many of his contemporaries on this list, Zonday has made the full mainstream media circuit including multiple television appearances, parodied on South Park, included in Weezer's 'Pork and Beans' video, and an appearance in (and aiding in the creation of a song for) a Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper commercial. He continues to make make music and ride the wave of his web fame.

REcipes from TipWorld Vegetarian Recipes..e-mail
This recipe for vegetarian pizza (though I'm sure some of you argue
that it's vegetable pizza) comes from Tuula. She writes: "This is our
favorite pizza!"
Pre-made pizza crust
1 bag [10-ounce] fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup sliced black olives
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 cup feta (preferably tomato-basil flavored), cut into cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Saute garlic in olive oil. Next, add spinach and cook for a few
minutes. Take pan off the heat, and stir in feta and olives. Drain of
extra liquid and top the pizza. Top with shredded mozzarella, if
desired. Bake for 20 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Variation: Feta-spinach mixture can also be used to make appetizers.
Spoon into ready purchased wonton squares and seal edges with water.
Fold into triangles and deep-fry in oil of your choice. Can be made
ahead and heated in the oven before serving. Makes 50 wontons.
This recipe was submitted by Francine. I have used a similar recipe in
the past--trust me, this one is delicious! Francine doesn't mention
it, but you can add a few veggies to the mix. Some chopped carrots
would work well here.
1 cup split peas
2 cups water
2-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons yeast
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Pinch ground nutmeg
Heat a pot over medium-high heat and add oil. Saute onion and garlic.
Add the split peas and water. Cover and bring to a boil--cook for half
an hour or until the peas are very soft. Reduce nearly all of the
Next, add the yeast, salt, and nutmeg. Cook for a few more minutes,
stirring occasionally. Run the mixture through a blender/food
processor until the mixture is smooth. Serve chilled.
This one is stolen from a friend with whom I recently had dinner--I
couldn't leave without getting the recipe.
8 potatoes, scrubbed and cut into quarters
3 tablespoons dried rosemary
2/3 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
4 cloves garlic, crushed
Boil the potatoes for 10 minutes. Remember to keep the potatoes
unpeeled. Dress the boiled potatoes in olive oil, rosemary, and
garlic. Roast in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to
30 minutes.
CREAMED SPINACH.....Lacto
I don't know about you, but there is something very comforting about
creamed spinach. My great-grandmother always had creamed spinach at
our big family events--I always enjoyed those family gatherings.
2 10-ounce boxes chopped spinach, drained
Pinch grated nutmeg
1/4 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup cream
1 tablespoon flour
Salt and pepper, to taste
Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan. Add the onions,
nutmeg, and garlic, and saute for a few minutes. Next, add the flour
and the cream. Simmer for 2 minutes before adding the spinach. Make
sure you drain the spinach well or you'll regret it! Mix well and
season before serving.
ANOTHER CREAMED SPINACH .....Lacto
Continuing with our spinach theme...
Chandra writes: "My husband is a chef at a local restaurant here in
Seattle and deciphered the creamed spinach recipe of a very popular
chain restaurant. It tastes just like the real thing!"
1 10-ounce can cream celery soup
1 tablespoon flour
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Salt and pepper
2 10-ounce boxes frozen chopped spinach, cooked and drained
1/3 cup onion, diced
In a pan, on medium heat, mix the soup, flour, butter, garlic salt,
salt, and pepper until smooth and piping hot. Combine with spinach and
Another recipe by Francine! Fruit compote makes an excellent dessert
or can double as a nice treat for breakfast.
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup raisins
6 apples, cored and diced
2 pears, cored and diced
1/3 cup shredded coconut
1 cup water
Pinch lemon zest
Add juice and raisins to a large pot and cook for a few minutes. Add
apples and pears. Cook for 5 more minutes. Add coconut shreds and
water as needed to achieve desired consistency. Add lemon zest. Cook a
few more minutes to soften the dried coconut.
Chill before serving.

1 lb. lentils
4 carrots cut into chunks

3 stalks celery, chopped

Bajra flour combined with purple yam, curds and garlic paste makes an interesting variation to plain bajra rotis which we often eat. Protein and iron are two important nutrients provided by these rotis. Like all bajra rotis, they tend to get chewy if they are served cold without a brushing of ghee. So serve these hot to avoid the use of ghee or butter for brushing.

6 months ago, I was doing this.
I'm basically a country music song.
I don't need a hair cut. I have no money. The mosquitoes stole my mosquito fogger. I have a three legged dog. My dad was almost killed in a car accident. My wife and kids are two thousand miles away from me. And I'm out of canned meat.
But you know me, I can't complain.

Will China-India ties enter a new era?
Updated: 2014-05-22 07:46
By Binod Singh (China Daily)
India has elected a new government, and its leader Narendra Modi will be sworn in as the prime minister at a time when situations inside and outside the country are volatile. The Indian economy has slowed down in the last couple of years and is predicted to grow at less than 5 percent this financial year. Modi cannot create a miracle to revive the economy as he did to win the election, but there is one country that can help him convert his promises into reality - and that country is China.
How can Modi work with Chinese leaders, who also face the challenge of sustaining their country's growth and restructuring its economy, to the benefit of the Indian economy?
As many say, Modi has followed the "Shenzhen model" to drive the province of Gujarat where he was chief minister for 13 years forward. So he is believed to know what is needed to revive an economy. No wonder, many Indians see him as an ideal leader to develop India's manufacturing sector, in which China could play an important role.
There is huge scope for increasing China-India trade from about $65 billion to 100 billion in the next two years. For that, Modi needs to come up with policies to attract Chinese investment to India, especially because apart from a few provinces like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu Delhi and Gujarat, the current atmosphere of foreign direct investment in India is not very attractive for Chinese companies.
Some of the challenges that China and India face are similar, like slowing economies, flight of capital and terrorism. The two countries, therefore, could share information on terrorist organizations active in the region and launch joint operations to root them out. As far as the first challenge is concerned, India and China need to work out regional monetary and trade policies to offset the impact of the US monetary policy - mainly responsible for the flight of capital - on their economies.
The role of the United States in the global economy and international relations is also something the two countries should be wary of, because neither the rise of China nor the emergence of India is in the interest of American hegemony. The world's sole superpower has been using divisive policies to keep China and India at loggerheads. In fact, the US is one of the major causes of the prevailing distrust among many Asian countries.
The US is also to blame for the escalating tensions in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Washington is not ready to loosen its strategic grip over Asia despite its declining economic strength. Since the launch of its "pivot to Asia" policy, the US has been trying to influence India to form a "coalition" with Japan and Australia to check the rise of China. Perhaps Modi will make it clear that India will not be part of any contain-China policy floated by the US.
Manmohan Singh, the outgoing India's prime minister, succeeded in building a positive working relationship with Asian leaders, which should be considered a great achievement.
The new Indian prime minister can build on Singh's legacy and work with leaders of other Asian countries to help defuse the tensions in the Asia-Pacific region. For instance, he can take the initiative to break the ice between China and Japan, who are locked in a dispute over the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea, and help create a peaceful and prosperous Asia. By attempting to do so, he would create an opportunity for India to stop the political rhetoric which at times seems to dominate Sino-Indian ties and focus on real issues of peace and security in the region.
The world will miss the quiet statesmanship of Singh, his humble personality and scholarship. But the new Indian prime minister could add another dimension to Indian diplomacy by using his office to restore peace and prosperity in the region.

Quaint house, friendly, helpful staff. Loved climbing into that big bed after a full day of exploring Sonoma. Loved sharing a meal and chatting with other travelers.

I wasn't sure what to expect because I've never been to Sonoma and found most other properties we looked at were much more expensive. We were pleasantly surprised by how lovely this B&B was and how friendly all the staff was. It's not the perfect location as you'll need to drive most anywhere you'd want to go, but it was worth it to be assured we had such a comfortable, clean and hospitable place to come back to in the evenings. The main town square is just a quick 5 minute drive, so it's not bad at all. It was very quiet and our room was quite large. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone.

Great service and breakfast!

Cinnamon Creek B&B was delightful. The staff were very helpful with dining, taxi and wine tasting tips. It is a pleasant 20 minute walk into Sonoma Square wearing comfortable shoes. The rooms are well set up and bathroom very clean. Our bed was a little spongy but the linen was crisp and well displayed. We met friendly travelers over a tasty breakfast and enjoyed our stay very much.Best to hire a care to get to the Valley as public transport is infrequent and taxis add to the weekend costs. Thanks ladies for a great weekend.

The people at the visitor center told us that it was not, "posh". We were expecting a hole in the wall and was pleasntly surprised! The staff was great, the rooms were clean, quaint and the breakfast was amazing! Would stay there again if in the area.

clean and lovely room, good service, wonderful jacuzzi in bathroom, but breakfast sub par and not close to town square as alluded to in description.

What a lovely B&B! We stayed for one night and enjoyed it very much. The innkeepers are super friendly and helpful, the rooms are cute and clean, and the breakfast was very good. Great location for both the downtown square restaurants and the Sonoma wineries. If you stay in the area, you must eat dinner at La Saletta restaurant. It was delicious!

Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn was exactly what we hoped for during our stay in Sonoma. The rooms are charming, the beds are comfortable, and the staff is excellent and inviting. The exterior photo here doesn't really do the inn justice as the interior is beautifully decorated with gleaming wood floors, beautiful older furniture and tasteful appointments. We loved the big brass bed in our room and the privacy afforded to guests with the layout of the inn. This is an in-town inn so there is some traffic noise to contend with, but all-in-all this was a lovely spot to stay and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

People's United Financial Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
With that, I'll turn the call over to Jack.
John P. Barnes
Thank you, Peter, and good afternoon, everyone. We appreciate you joining us today. On Slide 2, we provide an overview of our second quarter results. For the quarter, operating earnings were $67.2 million or $0.20 per share, up from $60.6 million or $0.18 per share in the first quarter. Net income after -- net income for the quarter, including non-operating items, was $64.8 million or $0.19 per share. The net interest margin declined to 3.97% compared to the 4.01% in the first quarter. The decline in the margin is the result of lower loan yields and higher levels of securities purchased earlier in the quarter in anticipation of our receipt of the proceeds for the Citizens branch transaction late in the quarter. This is partially offset by cost recovery income related to negotiated settlements and payoffs in the acquired loan portfolio.
Loan growth, including runoff in the acquired portfolios, amounted to 2.3% on an annualized basis, which was entirely funded by deposit growth.Originated loan growth was strong and amounted to 11.2% on an annualized basis. Noninterest income increased $3.3 million compared to the first quarter, reaching $75.7 million. This increase was primarily due to growth in cash management fees, operating lease income, prepayment fees and gain on sale of acquired loans. The efficiency ratio improved to 61.5% from 63.2% in the first quarter. This is a result of improved operating leverage from higher revenues and lower expenses. Capital ratios remained strong with the tangible equity ratio at 11.5% for the second quarter. We continue to make progress deploying our capital through balance sheet growth and share repurchase activity. On Slide 3, we discussed several recent initiatives. Most importantly, we continue to expand our presence in key growth markets such as the New York metro area. We recently completed the acquisition of 57 Citizens branches in the greater New York metro area and rebranded all of the acquired branches over the weekend of June 22. 53 of the branches are in Stop & Shop supermarkets and 4 are traditional branches.

Porsche stamina in racing has been sustained for 50 years. The first 356 aluminum coupe had hardly left the workshop in the company's former Gmund headquarters in Austria, when Porsche cars began making headlines at national and international events.
Today, GT racing enjoys a high priority at the Stuttgart-based company. But sportscars stand proudly in the glorious racing history, too, highlighted by 14 marques and team championships, nine sportscar drivers´ world titles and uncountable victories.
Porsche continued this tradition in Le Mans 1998 together with Joest Racing.

How RPG characters' skills work.
In Real Life, human brain acquires new knowledge and puts it to use via a spectacular cascade of electrochemical reactions taking place across a heavily networked biological cell grid. Learning and improving one's skills is a continuous, life-long process, while expertise in one field often proves unexpectedly useful in others, seemingly unrelated domains. But complex neuroscience has no place in video games, because a) it violates the Rule of Fun, and b) it runs a high risk of spawning a murderous AI on your computer. Instead, tabletop and video games--particularly Role Playing Games and games with RPG Elements--narrow down the areas of human knowledge to a handful of quantifiable "skills" that are relevant to the plot and whose advancement and effects can be defined in terms of gameplay mechanics. At the start of the game, the players are handed a list of these skills and a few "skill points" to assign to their characters, with more skills rewarded later on for completing the game's objectives. There are two common ways to define character skills in the Game System terms: skill scores (a.k.a. "skill levels") and perks (a.k.a. "feats" and "traits"). Following table outlines their main differences:
Tabletop game examples:

NEWS DESK- As the proposed Geneva II conference which is expected be held on Jan. 22 - not in Geneva, but in Montreux for lack of hotel space - draws nearer, Syria's Kurds are scrambling to secure a seat at the negotiating table.
As long as the Assad regime and the opposition fail to come to an agreement, Syria's Kurds will continue to consolidate their gains. Saleh Muslim, the co-chairman of the most influential Syrian Kurdish party, the Democratic Unity Party (PYD) said that "We will not allow Geneva II to become another Lausanne," he added, thumping a chubby fist.
Muslim was referring to the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne signed between the Allies and Turkey which defined the new borders of the modern Turkish state and divided "Kurdistan" into four parts. Lausanne famously scrapped earlier plans for an independent Kurdish state that were laid down in the 1920 Treaty of Sevres signed between the Allies and their vanquished Ottoman.
Muslim's main concern is to cement the big gains made by Syria's Kurds since the start of the civil conflict nearly three years ago. With the PYD and its military wing, the People's Protection Units (YPG), in the driver's seat, Syria's 2 million or so Kurds have established their own interim administration in a Kurdish belt stretching from Derik in the northeast to Afrin in the northwest, bisected by Arab settlements in Raqqah and Aleppo provinces.
The PYD has been furiously lobbying to unify all of the Syrian Kurdish groups to take part in Geneva II in a delegation composed solely of Kurds and under the banner of the Supreme Kurdish Council that was established in 2012 under the sponsorship of Massoud Barzani, the president of Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). "It is not so much the outcome of Geneva II but our status at the talks as a separate and equal entity that concerns us Kurds the most," Muslim explained.
Now those differences are said to be melting as PYD representatives continue talks in the KRG capital Hewler with officials from PM Barzani's Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), who are mediating on behalf of Muslim's Syrian Kurdish rivals. These groups accuse the PYD of using intimidation tactics and concentrating power in its own hands. These allegations have been echoed by the KDP, whose relations with Muslim's group have grown increasingly acrimonious over the past months.
Unusually, it was neither Muslim nor his decidedly weaker rivals but the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK), the umbrella group for the numerous wings of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which first commented on the meetings in Hewler. In a statement on Dec. 12, the KCK's executive committee said that it fully supported the KDP-mediated talks and suggested that the Supreme Kurdish Council resume its functions, although squabbles between the PYD and its rivals rendered the agreement obsolete. "If a common stand is adopted on Geneva and the interim administration is strengthened as a result of these talks they will play a seminal role in the resolution of the Kurdish problem and in the democratization of Syria," the KCK added.
