Name: Nervo Bellukjaya
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 46
Description: Nervo stands at a modest 5'10 with short light brown hair often it is slickened with gel, his skin is fair skin is slightly tanned, he chooses to wear a well trimmed goatee and his hazel eyes give off a sense arrogance at times. His body is well built, keeping himself fit by training everyday to prevent himself from becoming 'sloppy'.
At all times Nervo appears to be well groomed, much like a gentleman or perhaps even a butler, the only times when this changes is when someone chooses to drench up his past. When this happens there is a strong glint in his eye as he zones out everything to focus on his prey, changing his usual arrogant look into one that is vastly annoyed.
It is known that tattooed on his back is a two headed dragon who's heads seem to roar towards the heavens. Rumours persist that he received these during his years as an enforcer and bounty hunter. Another curious fact about Nervo is that the man is ambidextrous, brought up after his left arm was broken, during the recovery period he began to train his right hand to work just as effectively. Most days he still favours the left hand but his right hook has a heck of a kick.
Clothing: Nervo is known for his classy dress style and more often than not his eccentricity consisting of a three piece suit; a white dress shirt with a black tie, a black vest and black jacket, white gloves, finished with black trousers and black shoes.
Each article of clothing has a sense of showmanship, from the peaked lapels on his jackets to the golden pocket watch he keeps in his vest, each part of him gives off a sense of both wealth and his over-the-top personality. As such Nervo is also known to wear a bowler hat and yellow tinted teashade sunglasses.
Nervo also brazenly wears one of his revolvers openly on the right side of his hip, it's black holster naturally blends with the suit putting people at ease until it's pointed out to them by Nervo.
He rarely deviates from his suits, preferring to look as much of a show off as possible but as some of those who work for him know, there have been a couple photos of him in an Aloha shirt with simple jeans or shorts, making him look not only somewhat silly but very friendly as those photoes represent the few times that he generally feels at ease with himself.
Velvet: An elaborately engraved double-action revolver that's always holstered on his hip. It's six chambered design houses .44 rounds. The grip is made with polished wood, it's normally fired but his right hand.
Auto Revolver: Made with dark metal, there is nothing that sets it apart its appearance aside from its wooden grip. It's a six chambered pistol that's holstered under his right arm, hidden from sight. Nervo fires this revolver exclusively from his left hand due to the difference in recoil which would surely effect his aim. Like Velvet, the auto revolver fires .44 magnum rounds.
Snubrevolver This small back up revolver is lightweight and is always in a boot holster, it fires .38 rounds.
Goal: Keeping his business thriving while offering a legitimate form of shelter to hybrids.
Occupation: Owner of the Exotus Paradigm Nightclub
Nervo is a complex and notoriously eccentric man, he is a showman, a performer, a loud and arrogant gentleman who chooses to remain neutral in so many affairs that few know his actual motive in any of his daily choices. While his actions can be kind his explanations are cold and often methodical, giving a sense subtlety as well as a feeling that he has his own agenda even if he abides by the laws.
Nervo lives in the present, what happened in the distant past rarely matters to him unless it affects his morals or threatens to ruin his business at which point he'll show the perpetrator who he was before he owned a successful nightclub. Most times it only involves a check up by the doctor but he does not shy away from blood.
His views on the past and future are highly ambiguous and most times contradict each other, leaving many to question his reasoning.
However Nervo is a lover of music, he himself play can play several instruments though he prefers the saxophone and the trumpets. This is one of the main reasons to why his club so well known, on the nights Nervo himself chooses to take stage with his crew it's always guaranteed a good show.
Theme songs:
Nervo's Theme: Go Dark, Yoko Kanno
Nightclub themes: Tank! By The Seatbelts
Bad Dog No Biscuits By The Seatbelts
Americano! By Brian Setzer
The day was cloudy, cold and overall generally miserable. In front of Nervo stood the recently acquired building for his new life, a life of high quality, music and most of all action. A smile played on his lips as he walked in the double doors of the building, it use to be a cinema with three theatres but due to the sever competition on this side of the town it was forced to close down. It had a decent entrance, ignoring the fact is was in tatters, there was ample parking space in the garage and in front of the building Nervo could picture an exclusive red carpet space for the VIPs, allowing for a grand and flashy opening.
"Hey, this place has just been bought no tres- Oh, it's you Nervo, what the hell is with the get up?" Came the voice of his second; Paiter De Flourie, the large man wore simple workers clothing, jeans, a shirt covered in dust and cobwebs and sneakers, "Never really pictured you for a man in a suit. Ya know, working with ya for-"
"How's the place looking Pat?" Nervo interrupted with a grin knowing that both the nickname and the interruption would annoy his friend.
"Psh, dirty, run down, cheap and all in all, needs a lot of work."
"So much like yourself then?"
"Oh, haha HA. If you weren't me boss I'd thump you good."
"Since when did that happen?"
"Figured that since you're now my boss and not me partner might as well change my ways just to keep in line." Paiter shrugged, looking at Nervo's suit again, "You thing I could fit in one of those? Look all fancy and smart-like?"
"I think I'd have a better chance at dressing a monkey. Or maybe teaching a hippo how to tap dance."
"What! Why's that Nervo? I sure I could pull it off!"
"Hate to break it to you Pat but you're muscle, you hit things and break things without thinking things through. If you bought a suit tailored for those muscles the slightest flex when you think you've been insulted would cause the thing to rip. Waste of money if you ask me but hey, if you want to go broke. Be my guest."
"Yeah, yeah, I get the point. Should still thump ya though..."
"You mean try to."
Both men looked at each other with malicious grins before they moved to examine the place further, "So Nervo, think you're gonna miss the action? I know I will."
"Please the only thing I know you'll miss is getting drunk and then getting into a fight with your bounty."
"True so I won't really miss much. That's why I'm asking."
Nervo remain silent for a while as he looked at the theatre room, most of the chairs were in disarray or had been tossed aside. "What do you think Pat, break down all those walls and make this one big dining room with live entertainment, I mean we've already figured out-"
"You're ignoring the question."
"Eh, you know me, the past is the past. Ain't going to help me in the future too much."
"Yeah.... that's why it keeps biting ME in the ass every other day."
"Hey we're still young, we've got plenty of time to regret things. Anyway like I was saying if we could get this to work, dispose of the floor even the place out we'd have lots of room. Pretty good bargain don't you think?"
Paiter didn't respond, instead he pulled out a cigarette and lit it, offering one to Nervo but he shook his head, he just started getting out of the habit. After all he wouldn't need to fray his nerves after every job now. He could relax, enjoy his passion and make the green without having to think about dodging another bullet.
When they headed back to the main entrance to see the state the second and third floors were, they found an unwanted guest, dressed in a cheap suit. "Ah you must be the new owners of this fine establishment."
"Yeah, what about it?" Nervo's reply was friendly but his question was direct.
"Well, you see my boss doesn't like competition and we figured since you're new in town we'd..... give you some friendly advice. Drop this joint and hit the road boys or you'll have trouble. Got it?" With that the man left, spitting on the ground as he closed the doors.
"Cigarette. Now."
"Haha, I know that look. Want me to make the call?" Paiter laughed giving his boss a cigarette but when he moved to light it, Nervo shook his head.
"Please do. Think just for the next few days we'll need some new parking meters anyway." He replied sticking the cigarette in his mouth, biting on the butt but looked at the door with annoyance, "I think we're being mocked Pat. I hate that."
"And how who thinks he's been insulted! Haha...wait... we were insulted weren't we?"
"Pat. Let's just have a good look at the place. I don't want to have to explain to you in how many ways you're annoying me right now."
Two days later as the two were planning out what they wanted to change during the early hours of the morning when three cars pulled up. Nervo and Paiter saw them from the windows, about twelve men armed began to file out from cars, it appeared the men were laughed.
"Two tens that you won't get them all Nervo."
"You're on." Came the reply as the men walked past the newly placed parking meters, Nervo thumbed the trigger device causing them to explode, sending coins everywhere. The explosions while small still rattled the windows and set off some car alarms. "Well then Pat, let's check up on who owes who a twenty."
After several minutes they walked outside, one of the cars remained the other two had drove off in panic, it appeared they all had been in the blast zone. Paiter cursed and was reaching for his wallet when they heard a groan, "HA! You owe me this time Nervo."
"Shit, thought I got them all." The man sighed as he examined the survivors, two had been rather lucky only catching the shrapnel in either their arms or legs, which ever the case it appeared that they were only grazed. "Alright you two. I want both your bosses to know that we ain't leaving. That we'll be sending a message back that if they try it again... we'll show you which city we're from. And I HATE bringing up the past."
"Well, fuck you man." Came the painful curse from one of the men, both looked arrogantly at Nervo, "You guys from out of town, eh, you think we'll give you our boss that message, damn how dumb are you?"
Nervo looked at them with some surprise, "Oh, no, no, no. You misunderstand. You're going to be part of the message not the delivery boys." Before the two could reply Nervo and Paiter broke their necks.
A duffle bag would be delivered to the brothel in question, inside would be the heads of all thirteen men who died, twelve gunmen and one driver. The rest of their bodies were never found. Other than the noise complaint the cops didn't do anything else. After that the brothels in the neighbourhood would try one or two other stunts but each time they were met with brutal reprisals. When the renovations were finished Nervo's place already garnished an interesting reputation and the brothels wouldn't bother them again for some time.
The newly refurbished reception was filled with hopefuls thinking being part of the new nightclub and restaurant, Nervo was looking for cooks, waiters, musicians, entertainers, technicians and receptionists with an open mind. He was open to all unique individuals who had something to offer.
Exotus-Paradigm was still busy under renovations namely the main dining hall and stage, the second and third floors were still busy being demolished to make way for some dramatic changes. The third floor would be for the technical crew and security, the second was for exclusive guests so that they could get the best view from above. But before all that could be organized they'd need to find some potentials, people who had the right stuff to be part of Nervo's passion. Already several of his old crew came from outside this city, to this place they'd be unknown, they'd have enough secrets to hide. Nervo had plenty of connections but he had to do with without them... for the most part. His original crew each chipped in a sum of cash for this and each had a share of the place.
But the first wave was pathetic, they were all jokers and the one who were serious were shooed by these jokers. They didn't have the last laugh when Nervo and his crew had a 'talk' with them.
The second batch of recruits were more numerous and there were plenty of hopefuls along with people who were simply looking for easy money. But a commotion had occurred one of the musicians was exposed as a hybrid and it spiralled from there, while it turned out there had been a significant number of hybrids some of the potentials had been forcefully stripped in an attempt to prove they were hiding something. It got to the point where Nervo told one of his crew to shoot the ceiling to stop the chaos. Those who helped reveal the hybrids where given cold hard cash, the sympathisers were under wraps and the hybrids were herded to the center.
Nervo wasn't happy, he sat at the reception desk with his feet on the table chewing on an unlit cigarette again, his eyes darted left to right memorizing each of the saddened hybrids, some of them were crying that this job opportunity had cost them their freedom. Sympathisers looked with angry eyes at the armed men but could not do anything other than expect the worst.
"Alright, here's how it works. All hybrids form a line, humans on the other side. Make it snappy I'm not in the mood right now." Nervo finally said looking at the hybrid that unwillingly started the commotion.
"Hey boss why the face we've got s-"
"You shot the lights... I need to replace them. The place ain't even open yet and I've already got to start replacing things! It's not like fixing those bullet holes or the lights are free you know!"
"Yeah, yeah. I'll just shoot the offender next time."
"Please do, easier to solve than having pay to repair the place ourselves again."
"You're all monsters!" Came the shout from one of the humans, a young woman who was supporting one the hybrids, "You treat them like animals, they've got-"
"Feelings? Yeah, I know. What about them? Human's have 'em as well but do I discriminate them when I shoot them in the head? Nope. I don't even think twice about it in fact." Nervo replied with a cold laugh looking at the speaker through his teashade sunglasses, "But according to the law the hybrids got no rights. In fact they're just tradable goods and now they belong to me."
A collective groan escaped the lips of everyone inside, "I-Is there any way that....that you could over look this?" Came a quiet voice from one of the hybrids, her extra set of dog ears flopped down in near desperation, "If...if I let...let you-"
"Sorry miss but there were witnesses to this so my hands are tied. Now I want honest answers from all of you. Try not to lie too much it'll make things much harder than it has to be. I want you all to fill out the forms and papers. Also please add why you came here."
"I came here because I needed the money..." The same dog eared hybrid said ashamed when it was her turn, tears beginning to form on her eyes , "What are you going to do with me...."
"Well you applied to be a waiter and our roster is rather empty, you also stated that in your application that you could cook and clean so we should be able to place you right now." Nervo said without changing expression causing everyone to look at him, "As your owner and employer I can use you in any way. That is what the law states. And as such I've got some exclusive rights."
"I advertised that I'm looking for, unique individuals who have something to offer to my new business. I also stated that I was open about all potentials." His tone was simple, he was after all stating the facts, "I'm not a brothel owner, I am not looking for slaves to use for pleasure nor am I a drug addict. I despise those people who use 'em most times. Completely unreliable. Look at my second in command."
"WHAT! What do you mean with that!"
"You had to use growth hormones to get that tall. Would also explain why you're such a lazy git."
"I got this way through hard work I'll have you know." Paiter said pouting somewhat.
"Please, you wouldn't know hard work if it bit you in the ass. You ass" Came the reply from one the men holding an assault rifle, he was one of Nervo's original crew and acting as a bouncer.
"Don't you start with me Moor, besides you can't really say much after all you were the one who got high and slept with-"
"Hey, hey, he looked like a woman when he invited me over. How was I suppose to know?"
The armed men began to laugh as the man referred to as Moor went bright red but the would-be employees were now confused. They were unsure of what was going on now.
"Alrighty enough with the jokes." Nervo said with a grin trying to suppress his laughter, "I want all of you, that's humans and hybrid alike, here tomorrow morning 9am sharp, any of the hybrids not here will be hunted down by us and any human will lose their opportunity. Now I hope you all know where the doors are because me and the boys need to start shifting through this pile of applications and ownership papers."
The group nervously dispersed and it seemed that Nervo could sit down and figure things out.
"Eh boss. Commotion outside."
"Now what." He said with annoyance grabbing his bowler hat as he moved to the doors, pulling them open with force. Outside several people had gathered waiting for the hybrids, they were beating on one of the teens, a boy with long rabbit ears was lying on the ground holding his stomach while one of the other humans was trying to shield him but she was easily thrown off they were going to finish the job when Nervo fired into the air drawing everyone's attention.
"Now then." He spoke in a deathly calm voice as he walked towards the group of people aiming his engraved revolver at the men holding down the woman and the hybrid, "I want to know why exact you are harming my property and a potential employee." For a moment there was silence as the attackers tried to figure what was going on.
"Listen, we heard there were some hybrids looking for something other than their role in life, we came here to teach them a lesson, now if you don't get out of our way, we'll make you an example. We don't like sympathisers." One of them replied, his hands balled into a fist as he spoke looking to beat the hybrid into pulp as the others were forced to watch. But before the man could hit the boy, Nervo slammed his fist into the man's throat, dropping him.
"Bad excuse to damage my goods. Now get this through your heads. ALL OF YOU. I've got the paperwork to prove they belong to me. Just because I don't want to pay for their housing doesn't mean they get their freedom." He said stepping to inspect the kid, he'd have a heck of a bruise on his stomach and some severe swelling along his face but it wasn't too serious, "Looks like my guitarist is excused." Nervo sighed before trying to remember what point he was making, "Ah yes, I was saying that I've got the paperwork to prove that these hybrids belong to me and my business. Touch them without my say so and you'll find yourself in a rather unique situation. And get up you little punk, I hit you in the throat softly... relatively anyway. You won't die from it."
He began to massage his temples trying to figure out what had turned his day so sour, his first real interviews were partially ruined by the revelation, he now owned several hybrids meaning he'd have to keep an eye on them and to make matters worse one of the idiots was thinking of punching him while he was 'distracted'. Quickly ducking under the fist, Nervo wrapped his arms around his assailant's hand and turned it into a takedown before repositioning himself to apply his knee to the shoulder, adding enough pressure to make his attacker malleable.
The rest of the mob got the idea right after Nervo dislocated the man's shoulder, any other stunts would yield results they were not prepared for. As the last two limped away, Nervo turned to the frightened crowd of hybrids and humans, "Alright, if this is a typical town, word will spread quickly so I want you all to know, this is for the hybrids right now, that you are all owned by me. You are not going to be used as, let's say 'toys' as there are ladies present, each of you applied for a different job and as such that is how you'll be used under the laws. Nothing more or less, unless you've managed to earn a bonus or promotion. Now having skimmed the files as you wrote them, I noticed a surprising number of you needed the money to support family. I want you to inform them that they also belong to me and that they should come see me sometime, they do not have to work for me I just don't want my staff to be overly worried about minor problems. And as such, I will be paying each of you." There was an astonished look in some of the hybrids while others looked suspiciously at Nervo but they didn't say anything, afraid of the man and his crew, who were they? And what were they?
"Since you hybrids are my property now, you have my protection. I am a jealous man, I don't like sharing my stuff and if I find out one of the brothel owners wants you or tries to steal you.... Then I'll have words with him or her." Nervo's face remained set in an impassive glare as he continued to talk with the crowd, "And all I want you to do is simply live your lives as if nothing happened, go to your homes tell your families the news... if they are that kind anyway. If there are some financial problems or medical issues feel free to talk with me or my crew, I'm sure we can help."
Some of the humans and hybrids questioned his motives but they would find that Nervo would answer each of their queries with cold logic or an amused laugh. One by one they would leave except the rabbit eared hybrid who couldn't actually stand up without assistance, in the end Nervo drove the kid home himself or as close to the home without making things uncomfortable.
The next day the interviews were well underway, all of the people who came the previous day had chosen to return, or at the humans had taken that option as the hybrids were obliged to come. Some brought their families in fear and shame but found they were treated like normal people, refreshments and snack were offered to all, easing the tension. It took a lot of work but after several months of constant recruiting Nervo was able to find a reliable group of employees, granted that some of the hybrids lost their freedom but it was a small thing to lose as the hybrids would find.
There were, of course, some incidents and misunderstandings that Nervo personally took care of.
Exotus-Paradigm would open six months later, while at first they didn't draw much attention Nervo's daring soon drew people from all corners of the business world. At first some thought of the nightclub just as another brothel but Nervo firmly dismissed that notion and soon he garnished an intriguing reputation that was both feared and respected. People would come to enjoy the fine foods, electrifying performances by both human and hybrid, the chance to see famous and well known guests and for the now loved atmosphere created by this potent combination.
Nervo himself took pleasure from what he created but it never went to his head, as his crew knew the man kept an eye on everyone under his wing. He never explain why but when something was wrong he'd know about it, he became known amongst the hybrids as a man who was always personally involved, unsure of how to play a certain number or had questions about a performance, Nervo would teach him the ropes or have it arranged that they'd get some private lessons, if a hybrid no longer had a place to stay the man would give him or her lodgings until he or she was back on their feet. He was an eccentric who's personality kept people on the edge of their seat but he was also very human, those who now worked for him learnt that there were many oddities about him, one of which included that he was a terrible poker player, while Nervo could bluff during a standoff, he was incapable at bluff in a card game as his eyebrow would twitch.
All in all the nightclub would last two years before disaster struck, the rival brothel owners decided to play their cards hiring some mercenaries to burn down the place. During the early mornings as Nervo and his crew began to prepare for the day, the mercs assaulted the main , side and emergency entrances, locking in all the employees, several were fatally shot the rest were forced back during the fire fight that would erupt. In the end the survivors were rounded up outside, hybrids were separated from the humans to be taken away to brothels while the humans would 'vanish'... Or that was the plan.
Several shots rang out as Nervo and his crew finally emerged from the now raging inferno carrying several wounded or stranded employees. The mercs simply assumed this was just another one of those businessmen but once again he would disprove their assumption. This time Nervo acted directly, shooting the leader in both knees and personally threw him into the fires. The merc's cries rang out as he fried to a crisp, he planned to continue this until either someone confirmed his suspicions or there wasn't a merc to burn. It only took another two for the mercenaries to realize that Nervo, Paiter and the rest of the crew would not lose sleep killing them off one by one, running was useless as they'd be hunted down like dogs to be thrown into the bonfire they so happily had lit.
Those who survived now had to pull themselves together and try to understand what was happening, the hybrids were about to be sent off when Nervo once more showed that he was still their legal owner and that there would be some severe consequences for those who burnt down their collective dreams but first he knew he'd have the task of telling the family members and, if allowed, to help arrange funerals. All in all it was a sombre few weeks, a total of twelve lives were lost, to the outside world only two of those would matter. Dozens had to be treated for various afflictions ranging from bullet wounds to smoke inhalation. In respect to the families Nervo offered to support them when they needed it without disturbing them yet to his surprise he found that he was welcomed, they were thankful that he was able to make their son, daughter, friend or lover the opportunity to chase after their dream or give them a chance that no one else would give them.
Nervo would leave each household with a sad but grateful smile, promising that while he could never bring their family or friend back, there would be justice. Normally these would be empty words for the hybrids but as Nervo had said, he was a jealous man and did not enjoy having his property taken away from him. Over the course of weeks there was a strange rise in train related suicides, jumpers off high bridges or random drowning. There was one newpaper article that told of a bouncer from a brothel was found impaled on his fence after trying to jump out his window, the police reported that he had gotten a bad batch of cocaine and thought he was a bird.
After these random occurrences the parties involved willingly offered to compensate the families, including the hybrids and Nervo for the damages.
Rumours persisted that Exotus-Paradigm was being rebuilt, that Nervo wasn't going to give up so easily. At first these were just rumours but soon the burnt out shell was once more under heavy reconstruction, not only that Nervo had bought out several neighbouring buildings for unknown purposes, after a year and a half of building flyers were once more sent out but not before all those previously employed were sent a request to see if they were still interested in being part of something unique. Sure enough everyone returned with nervous excitement, all were eager to be able part of the experience, to leave the misery of the world constantly brought on them. Because in the end, regardless of what the laws had stated, in Exotus-Paradigm they were treated equal and were encouraged to be themselves, in a modest and polite manner of course.
The business has once more flourished, invites have been sent out and wild advertisements to the old faithfuls and well knowns to the club have been notified that the atmospheric, once in a life-time club was returning, it's halls twice the size, a skylight so that the moon itself would be jealous and above all else, Nervo's passion and dreams along with everyone else's who worked for him, was still alive.

Until recently, the legal profession and the law remained mostly aloof from the impact of innovative disruption, moving instead at an analog pace of change driven by reasoned discourse and scholarly input. Think of the usual pace of legislation, appellate review, uniform laws, and legal restatements. But life in the slow lane is ending.

More on computers, docs and health care's future
Part Two: Why computers can't do it all
Thomas Frey(Editor's note: This is the second of two parts. Read Part One.)
Over the coming decade, medical staffers are in for a rough transition, but unlike many other professions, that doesn't mean the need for doctors goes away.
Here's why we will still need doctors even though many ancillary jobs will begin to disappear.
1.) Accidents: Humans are born risk-takers, and as such, not all risks turn out well. Whenever an accident occurs, it produces a one-of-a-kind condition only marginally similar to other disasters. Accidents also create a boatload of emotional, psychological, and relationship issues that require human contact and human attention.
2.) Anomalies and Edge Cases: No matter how far we push our technical ability, there will still be things that fall outside of the norm.
3.) New Diseases: The disease universe continues to evolve. Only a couple decades ago we didn't know about mad cow disease, bird flu, or golfer's foot. These conditions have only recently cropped up, and in the future there will be many more.
4.) The Human Touch: Too often people are faced with critical life and death decisions and need to understand the options. While it may be possible for a computer to spit out the cold, hard choices, this is really a situation where people need a real person to interact with.
5.) Research: The human condition is constantly evolving and our relationship with the world around us continues to change. As a result, there will continually be a need for further research, and doctors will find a welcome home for their talent.
6.) Oversight: While computers will serve as a more accurate replacement for fallible humans, that doesn't mean we won't encounter fallible computers. Every line of code has its own idiosyncrasies and biases, requiring a technical checks and balance system to audit their performance.
7.) Constant Updating: Human biology is not a static science, and as a result, every condition, reaction, and assumption will need to be constantly updated as new information surfaces.
8.) Pushing the Limits: Computers won't color outside the lines unless we tell them to. We live in a human-based world dealing with human-based problems, and sometimes this requires unusual levels of creativity, abnormal thinking, and gut instincts.
"Technology will replace 80 percent of what doctors do" - Vinod Khosla
Final Thoughts
In 2012, Vinod Khosla, famed venture capitalist and co-founder of Sun Microsystems, made the bold proclamation that "Technology will replace 80 percent of what doctors do."
He made the controversial remarks at the Health Innovation Summit in San Francisco, hosted by seed accelerator Rock Health.
Continuing on he said, "Healthcare today is often really the 'practice of medicine' rather than the 'science of medicine.'"
To make his point, he pointed out:
- A Johns Hopkins study found that as many as 40,500 patients die in an ICU in the U.S. each year due to misdiagnosis
- Another study found that 'system-related factors', e.g. poor processes, teamwork, and communication, were involved in 65 percent of studied diagnostic error cases.
- 'Cognitive factors' were involved in 75 percent, with 'premature closure' (sticking with the initial diagnosis and ignoring reasonable alternatives) as the most common cause.
Khosla said that machines, driven by large data sets and computations power, not only will be cheaper, more accurate and objective, but better than the average doctor. To get there, the level of machine expertise will need to be in the 80th percentile of doctors' expertise.
So how long before this transition occurs?
Health care is an industry involving complicated politics, irrational decisions, and legions of people looking for their next paycheck. But the sheer volume of money in the system is making it a prime target of entrepreneurs all over the world.
One of the primary drivers, the Affordable Care Act, is already creating openings, and many changes have already begun. Within 10 years, we will see a radically different health care system begin to emerge, but it will take longer for the technology to mature.
We're in for a wild ride.

Balochistan Budget: A clear political ambition
The Provincial Finance Minister, Mir Asim Kurd, supported by his entire team of the Finance Department, explained at length the salient features of the budget in the post-budget briefing explaining the vision of the Chief Minister of Balochistan. He explained the economics of establishing a refinery separating gold from copper at metal mining site of Chagai. He said by investing a few billions, Balochistan will be able to know how much gold had been produced from both the Saindak and Reko Dik sites.
Once the Reko Dik is gone to production, Balochistan will be able to earn at least Rs 45 billions as profit from copper and gold reserves annually. The decision was taken in the backdrop of the fact that Balochistan government will take over the Reko Dik and Saindak Project after expiry of its agreement in 2012. It also plans to merge the both making it more viable economically. Since Reko Dik has no right for metal mining, it will cease to function handing over all the assets to the Balochistan Government to undertake metal mining. Its licence was confined to mere exploration and for the past 20 years. According to one estimate, value of copper and gold reserves at the Reko Dik is more than one trillion US dollar. The only one project will be equivalent to 50 Gwadar Deep Sea Port in economic terms.
The briefing by the Provincial Finance Minister indicated the excitement shown by the Provincial government to take over all the mega projects in Balochistan without obtaining complete provincial autonomy. The Federal Government had nominated Chief Minister as the Chairman of the Gwadar Port Authority(GPA) with higher number of Balochistanis in the Board of Governors for operating the Port.
The Provincial Government had mobilized resources to buy the share of Singapore Port Authority and the National Logistics Cell (NLC) for complete take over of the port. It is the ambitious plan explained by the Finance Minister in the briefing. Yet another salient feature of the Budget is that the Provincial Government got a direct financial and technical assistance from the Government of Japan for rehabilitating and re-functioning of the Pasni Fish Harbour. The Japanese, in our private conversations, offered matching grant and financial assistance to Balochistan for every penny the Provincial Government spends in social sector—health, education and other services. Japan will provide a grant of Rs 800 million for the Pasni Fish Harbour.
The government is also trying to buy the significant number of shares of Pakistan Petrolem Limited (PLL) and other gas companies operating within Balochistan. The idea behind it is that the Balochistan Government should get all the future profits and not others. Again, the Balochistan Government should fully control the companies so that it should know about the exact gas extracted from wells or gas pumped to other consumers in Punjab and Sindh, also to different sectors, including power generation and Fertilizer factories, that were given substantial subsidy around Rs 40 billions a year. The subsidy was given at the cost of Balochistan and its people, independent economists opined.
All these steps indicated that elected leadership of Balochistan is also desperate and sick about the denial of resources to this backward province, for one reason or the other, and for long. The on-going political struggle for more national rights and greater autonomy for Balochistan, the weakest Federating Unit in Pakistan, had put tremendous pressure on the Federal rulers to concede their some demands, if not all.
Baloch leadership had proposed merely three subjects—Defence, Foreign Affairs and Communication—for the Federal Government and transferring all other powers to the Federating Units. It was one solution to Balochistan's constitutional and political conflict. Baloch leadership is dissatisfied with the present constitutional arrangement of abolishing the Concurrent List from the Constitution and handing over those subjects to the Provinces. It was not a Baloch demand. It was the demand of the PML-N with its political base in the Punjab. Other political parties joined the PML-N in abolishing the Concurrent List. The Government is yet to address the Baloch demands for rights. The Budget is a clear reflection of the Baloch aspirations within the framework of Pakistan.

What you'll need:
1. Visit your local garden supply center to buy seeds or seedlings. Can't find what you're looking for? Check out the selection of seeds at the Seed Shop and have them delivered.
2. Fill the bottom of each pot with 3/4-inch gravel, then fill completely with soil. Dig a hole in the soil large enough for your plant to fit into. Remove the seedling from its plastic nursery container and set into planting hole. Gentle press down the soil around the plant. If starting from seeds, fill the pot with soil and then gently press seeds into soil 1/4 inch.
3. Spray-paint the top band of each pot with chalkboard paint. Let dry completely and then write the name of the herb using colorful chalk. The best part? When it's time to transfer plants, just wipe the chalkboard clean and re-label!

Some sources date the upswing to the tumultuous Chavez electoral campaign of 1998. They say it slowed in mid-September, when the Catholic Church mediated a compromise between the congress (representing the old political order) and the constitutional assembly charged with executing many of Chavez's reforms. (The deal: The congress still gets paid while the constitutional assembly finishes the new magna carta. Once ratified by popular vote, new legislative and presidential elections are to be held.) Chavez's popularity at home is between 70 and 90 percent, depending on the source. Yet economic indicators are grim, with inflation last year at 30 percent and unemployment hovering at 20 percent. And for many, especially outside of Venezuela, the president is unknown and worrisome.
Enemies of Chavez as well as supporters understand the power Miami holds over the future of Venezuela. Because the upper classes think they stand to lose the most under the new regime, Miami is a natural base to organize against the new president. It's an old tale. In the past the area has soaked up populations from Latin countries when worry turned to fear: Cubans, Nicaraguans, and most recently Colombians, to name a few. When turmoil hits, secondary homes become primary residences. Sometimes they also become arenas for the displaced to plot a triumphant return.
But for the moment it appears unlikely Venezuela will follow that familiar story line: Chavez's overwhelming popularity at home, a working constitutional assembly, and a cautious acceptance by the United States may be a few of the reasons. Chavez and his supporters seem to understand, nonetheless, that the success of their government depends in part on selling it to the rest of the world, particularly to investors. Nowhere would this be as important as in Miami, with its large Latin-American money and banking presence. (Chavez is planning a trip here in early December.) It's also a center of anti-Chavez sentiment, likely fueled by an active Cuban political culture that sees the world through the prism of Fidel Castro and is particularly leery of the new president. When Chavez partisans mutter cryptically of a foreign-based campaign to slander their leader, usually they are talking about Miami.
On a recent Saturday afternoon, about 40 Venezuelans file into a conference room in a Brickell office tower high above Biscayne Bay. The plushly carpeted boardroom on the 41st floor in the law offices of Steel, Hector & Davis has been transformed into a dining area with eight tables clothed in white linen. A catering crew is setting up a lunch of chicken and salmon with an ample stock of white wine, while a who's who of Miami's Venezuelan community trickles into the room. They are here for a presentation by three members of the nation's constitutional assembly. The men are on a tour designed to convince a skeptical U.S. establishment it need not worry about what is happening in Venezuela. Miami is the last stop on a commission that included trips to New York, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta.
Among the first to arrive today are the directors of the largest Venezuelan newspapers in South Florida: El Venezolano and its competitor, Venezuela al Día. Oswaldo Muñoz and Manuel Corao say little to each other as they heft stacks of their papers into the room and begin handing them out. José Carrillo, a local banker and the president of the Venezuelan-American Chamber of Commerce, also strides in. When two executives from Chavez's official newspaper, El Correo del Presidente, show up, it sparks some interest. News has circulated in the community that Chavez plans to distribute his paper in the United States. It is further evidence of a public relations campaign by Chavez supporters to promote a positive picture of Venezuela's changes. Absent from the crowd are the representatives of Chavez's political party here in Miami and its chief opponent.
The consul general, Antonio José Hernandez Borge, sporting a handlebar mustache, gives a short introduction. Then Isaias Rodriguez, a university professor and first vice president of the constitutional assembly, begins to speak. Although Rodriguez is a Chavez supporter (called Chavistas), he's been credited with being a moderating force in the assembly. With a full beard, glasses, and lecturelike delivery, he lays out the group's message.
"Everyone is afraid of change," he reassures the crowd, but "the process in Venezuela is peaceful and democratic."
Rodriguez contends the news media has distorted the Venezuelan reality and that the community in Miami lacks an understanding of events there. But the group here seems suspicious of his optimistic appraisal. Skepticism of all things Chavez runs high. Last year's presidential election was the first time Miami's Venezuelans could vote outside their country. Only 2500 voters did so, but Chavez lost 3-1. (In Venezuela Chavez took 56 percent of the vote.)
The crowd is more interested in another member of the delegation, Claudio Fermin. He is one of only six Chavez opponents elected to the 131-person assembly. The former presidential candidate is an independent and a frequent visitor to Miami. It is clear his words carry more weight here.
Fermin starts by taking questions. He sketches the timetable for a vote on the constitution and new elections for national offices. He casts the moment as an opportunity to re-create Venezuela. Elegantly dressed and eloquently spoken, Fermin makes the case that the political establishment has thoroughly discredited itself in Venezuela, and a change is both necessary and unavoidable. He exhorts Venezuelans outside the country to take part in the process and tries to convey a sense of hope for the future.

Although billed to take place early this year, Metro Vancouver has not set a date for public consultations on the proposal to build a $500-million garbage incinerator on Squamish Nation lands at Port Mellon.
"Our intention is to have public meetings in each community in 2014," Paul Henderson, general manager of solid waste services for Metro Vancouver, said Tuesday.
In addition to the Port Mellon site, Metro is looking at proposals for Nanaimo, Delta and South Vancouver, as well as six undisclosed locations submitted under a separate request-for-proposal (RFP) process.
Officials are still working through the six undisclosed proposals and Henderson said he expects Metro will announce in April which of those sites will be optioned.
The other communities, including Port Mellon, can still expect to be consulted early this year, Henderson confirmed, but said it wasn't known whether those meetings will be held before or after the options are announced on the RFP sites. After communities are consulted, the number of possible sites will be short-listed to three or four.
"There's still many, many stages to get down to the final proponents," Henderson said. "We're also committed to a full environmental assessment process, regardless of the location of the site."
Metro's timetable for announcing the selected site is next year, with startup projected for 2018. The plant would burn an estimated 370,000 tonnes of garbage per year.
The Port Mellon proposal from Aquilini Renewable Energy would convert waste to energy, providing power to Howe Sound Pulp and Paper as well as closed containment coho salmon farms. It would also use captured carbon dioxide for a pharmaceutical algae farm and agricultural greenhouse operation.
Since it is located on Squamish Nation land, the 10-hectare site is not subject to Sunshine Coast Regional District zoning bylaws.
Aquilini is a subsidiary of Aquilini Investment Group, headed by Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini.
In early December, a company spokesman said the agreement signed with Metro specifies that only Metro can comment on the project at this stage.

buying corn screenings to feed my cattle saved us alot of money but the dust was really bothering me. I tried dust masks from the local hardware store, they sorta helped. I was very happy that we found these masks in the Gemplers catalog. They are reasonably priced and they work very well.

Public Enemy - Say It Like It Really Is
Say It Like It Really Is Public Enemy
Yes, thats right, New Public Enemy. This feels like a throwback Sunday, we got new Lauryn Hill & Public Enemy. Who expected that this morning?
Give Say It Like It Really Is a listen - it's a new offering from Public Enemy. It was dropped on Sunday, July 25th, 2010. Public Enemy's musical situation is improving with every new release, and Say It Like It Really Is will most definitely help the cause. It's a fine addition to the growing body of work Public Enemy has been developing since stepping foot in the game. We're looking forward to what Public Enemy has in store.
Have you heard Public Enemy's Get It In, featuring Bumpy Knuckles? Check out Public Enemy's profile page for the most recent info, news, songs, and mixtapes. Have you checked out Public Enemy's Twitter pages?

Tree Puts the Freeze on Haters in Snowy 'Busters' Video
Chicago MC Tree has shared a new video in honor of his super-solid May mixtape Sunday School II: When Church Lets Out. As one might expect from the title, "Busters" is your standard fuck-the-haters track, with many middle fingers given to those who'd slow this unsung rhymer's quickening roll. His vocal styles are firmly Tone Loc meets Mykki Blanco, while the track features lurching beatwork that manages to be both dark and soulful. The clip above is similarly no-frills, finding Tree out in his city on a snowy night, in the shadow of many landmarks that should be familiar even to those who've never visited. And if you haven't yet, you might consider a trip. Between Tree, Chief Keef, and Chance the Rapper, there's a lot going on there these days.
Kitty Pryde Lusts After Lakutis in Dreamy 'Ay Shawty 3.0' Video
The premise for the new Kitty (née Pryde) song is fairly similar to that of Die Antwoord's latest — minus the deeply uncomfortable ending. In "Ay Shawty 3.0," our hostess is an innocent outsider who takes an interest in a tough-guy type. "You're flexing in the trap," she dreamily rhymes at one point, "Every time I hear your voice I have relapse: 'Ay shawty, let me holler at you.'" Cue the cloud-rap synth wash and skittering drum hits. The song hails from Kitty's recent D.A.I.S.Y. Rage EP, and Das Racist affiliate Lakutis plays the role of the bad boy. The video is simple and cast in the same sort of hazy sunlight that saturates her sound. Last we heard from Kitty was, well, yesterday, when she dropped her "Barbie Jeep" bumper for the Adult Swim Singles Series.
Famously Litigious Frank Zappa Widow Acquires Captain Beefheart Trademark
Frank Zappa's widow Gail Zappa has trademarked the name "Captain Beefheart," which was the alias of her late husband's collaborator-competitor Don Van Vliet. To those who've followed the latter-day activities of the Zappa estate executrix, this latest move may seem a bit worrisome. In 2008, Gail led the charge against a small German festival with a deep love of Frank's work, suing them to change the name of their Zappanale gala, to remove the Zappa-esque mustache from their promotional materials, and to knock down the statue of Frank that stood in the city's center.Thankfully, the court then found in the Germans' favor, but the acquisition of the Beefheart name could mean more litigiousness is on the way. According to Yahoo!, Frank actually sued Vliet, his high-school buddy, for the moniker many years ago.
Nine Inch Nails Ask David Lynch to Direct 'Came Back Haunted' Video
The video for Nine Inch Nails' new single "Came Back Haunted" will be directed by David Lynch, Pitchfork reports. Earlier today, Trent Reznor shared a picture via Twitter of himself seemingly wearing makeup while the iconic Twin Peaks creator lurks in the background. Though a source for the news wasn't named, the official Nine Inch Nails account has retweeted the story. The band's new album Hesitation Marks will arrive September 3 via Columbia Records.The two have a brief but significant history of collaboration. Reznor produced the soundtrack to Lynch's 1997 film Lost Highway, which included the NIN leader's first music composed explicitly for cinema (fast-forward to his Grammy-winning The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo score). Lynch is releasing his second artist album, The Big Dream, July 16 via Sacred Bones.
Wavves' Graphic 'That's on Me' Video Might Turn You Vegan
Wavves have shared a brand new music video for "That's on Me" — a sour-toned slow-growler about grabbing life by the horns. While there are no bulls featured above, there is one very unfortunate pig who's fed to a ravenous gang of cheerleaders after being sliced and diced by sword demo king Lynn Thompson. When the clip opens, we see that rotund YouTube hero emerging from his yellow hot rod. Things get deliciously weird as he begins chopping soda bottles while the girls flash their pompoms and a Latin death-metal dude pretends he's Wavves. Then comes the meat. The resulting cuts are captured with a high-speed camera, so it's nearly as disturbing as it is fascinating to watch. All the ambient irreverence keeps the mood light enough, but one might think differently about bacon after watching a porcine skull smashed with the blunt end of a medieval axe. Then again, maybe not.
Please, Miley Cyrus, Show Us How to Get 'Turnt Up' in Your 'We Can't Stop' Video
Miley Cyrus has released the video for her polarizing (?) new pop breakthrough, "We Can't Stop" — you know, the song that's totally not about molly. We already know all about the track's ridiculous #YOLO leanings and Cartman-esque bully-stance, but the video takes her version of (signifying that she's) getting "turnt up" to new levels of branded wilding. Perhaps it's best to experience the thing in the stream-of-consciousness manner in which the clip was assembled. We see: Beats by Dre product, sparkly gold nails, Miley fitting herself with a grill, a french-fry skull, Miley writhing in tight white on a bed, a dude with two tongues, cosmetic products, crotch rockets, many mutual spankings, a chanting 3-D computer head (look out #Seapunks!), Miley getting spicy with her ladyfriends, thumb-sucking, twerking, pools, and more (lots more) Miley-on-molly writhing.
Who Charted? Black Sabbath Possess No. 1, the Lonely Island #YOLO-Yodel Into Top 10
First! All hail the dark lord Ozzy and his grotesque generals Tony and Geezer — the original Black Sabbath hath risen after 35 years of absence from the charts and proven, definitively, that this demonic whole is greater than the sum of its possessed parts. Okay, so 13 isn't a very good album despite the golden touch of Rick Rubin. But this is still a significant day for metalheads. The new LP's arrival marks the band's first trip to the top of the Billboard 200, moving a mighty 155,000 units according to Nielsen SoundScan. Sabbath's highest ranking heretofore came with 1971'a Master of Reality, which peaked at No. 8. Furthermore, Osbourne has come close but never snagged himself a No. 1 as a solo artist. Would we rather see Queens of the Stone Age hold onto to last week's No. 1? Of course. (Sadly ...Like Clockwork has plummeted to No.
Mikky Ekko's Uplifting 'Kids' Stays Humble Despite Benny Blanco's Hit-Making Touch
After teasing us with seven months of videos and remixes for his excellent Clams Casino-produced single "Pull Me Down," Mikky Ekko has at last let slip a brand new official cut. Of course, the Nashville-based singer hasn't been idle exactly. He co-wrote and -performed Rihanna's chart-climbing ballad "Stay," and also shared a lovely little demo called "Disappear," but "Kids" is the first sign that, in Ekko's own words, he's "starting the next chapter." The new track premiered over at Gorilla vs. Bear and features production from Benny Blanco (Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Ke$ha) and John Hill (Wavves, Santigold, Portugal. the Man). Unsurprisingly, the music walks a line between soul-powered pop and indie-flavored rock while Ekko shows off his voice — a flexible thing that can handle crisp notes as well and raw emotion.
Die Antwoord's Icky 'Cookie Thumper' Video Packs a Painful Surprise Ending
Cautionary tales rarely come as irreverently horrifying as this. The South African rave-rap posse Die Antwoord are gearing up for a new album — Donker Mag, expected February 2014 — and they've just shared the first song and video from the thing. "Cookie Thumper" is a song about a girl who takes an interest in an older local boy who's recently been released from prison. She's attracted to his gangster ways and fancies herself pretty tough, too, but hasn't fully thought through her obsession with him and the ways in which his time behind bars may have changed him or, well, his habits. The track and its Ninja-directed clip share a surprise, ick, finish, as Yo-Landi Vi$$er plays the female lead, rapping in high-pitched barrage of Zef slang and English. For full lyrics, including translations, visit the YouTube page. Otherwise ... enjoy?
Justin Bieber Cleared After Knocking a Paparazzo Over With His Ferrari
We're no expert on Egyptology, but we're fairly certain Justin Bieber must have stolen some mummy's treasure in the waning days of 2012. This may have been an incredibly bad year for the kid, most of which has been his own doing, but one mustn't discount the death of Christopher James Guerra, the 29-year-old paparazzo hit and killed by an SUV when he ran into the street to snap a picture of the young star.Now another photographer has been allegedly injured in hot pursuit of the Biebz, but this time it was the 19-year-old singer behind the wheel. Monday night (June 17), Justin was leaving a Hollywood comedy club when he climbed into the Ferrari that's always getting him in trouble accompanied by the Lil' Flip that's also always getting him in trouble.

i've figured it out.
i've figured out why these westboro baptist members and all their little followers hate gay people so much.
they're afraid of them. afraid of what they stand for. afraid of something different. it's like racism in the sense that these people are afraid of change. so they hide behind their religion and their "God" and say hateful things because they wallow in fear, they live in it.
they call us the freaks, when really, they're the abominations against god. they have their children, little blessed children wearing t-shirts with hideous slogans such as: "God hates you" "God hates f*gs" and other slanderous things like that. with PSAs where children spread hate with a smile on their face, thinking they're doing the world a great service, when all they're doing is making themselves look like the devil.
God does not hate us. Who can be sure there is even a god to begin with? Even if there was, I have news for you: God IS love. He does not hate the sinner, he hates the sin. I don't know what sort of sick, twisted tripe these people have been telling you, but it's wrong.
it must be so soul-sickening, to live in fear and hatred all the time. to have such a putrid, stinking, rotting heart in your soulless body.
so, to all the little gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered children growing up in this generation, God does not hate you. You are not an abomnation or a freak or anything these people tell you. You are a human being worthy of love and honor, more so than any of those idiots with their signs. don't EVER let anyone tell you anything different.
Someone needed to say that.
So they came to where you are, too?
