Gonski plan misses the point
PUBLISHED: 04 Feb 2013 00:05:16 | UPDATED: 04 Feb 2013 11:59:42PUBLISHED: 04 Feb 2013 PRINT EDITION: 04 Feb 2013The political trick will be to convince voters that the Gonski proposals will produce better results. Unfortunately, they won't. The education system is failing students because of fundamental flaws in the approach to teaching and teaching methods rather than inadequate funding models.

You're right, as usualThat's ridiculous. I've seen all the stats, bring 'em on. Nothing you've posted refutes Frazier's splits. The stats back up what my eyes see and that is that his power drops significantly against RHP. Frazier isn't an on base guy, if he's not hitting for power, he's really not helping that much. If his slugging drops off against RHP, that's a big problem for a player with his profile. He needs less exposure to the types of pitchers who give him trouble. It's not the worst thing in the world. He will still be a valuable player. I'd rather have him for 400 PAs at .825 OPS and let a lefty in there against the RHP that give him trouble, than have him for 700 PAs at .725 OPS for the sake of saying he's an every day player.
Good teams have guys like him and good teams that win don't let them flounder unnecessarily. The problem isn't Frazier as much as Hannahan is a poor choice to pair with him. The Reds need a better LH bat to play 3B some of the time. Eric Chavez would be my choice but he probably wouldn't want to stray too far from the west coast. Get some one of that caliber who can play 75 games or so and let Frazier get starts in RF and 1B and some LF as well as 50% to 60% the starts at 3B.
Here are some more stats for you to add to your collection:
2010 in AAA -
vs LHP 169 PAs .272/.367/.551/.918
vs RHP 386 PAs .251/.321/.411/.731
2009 in AA -
vs LHP 140 PAs .320/.379/.547/.926
vs RHP 355 PAs .279/.344/.455/.799
2008 in A+
vs LHP 110 PAs .370/.473/.652/1.122
vs RHP 300 PAs .253/.320/.385/.705
Wish all you want about Frazier, but he's been splitty since he's been in the organization. What we're seeing is no different than what he's always been. Hope he changes at age 28. I'd plan differently.

By the time the newlyweds drove away as a married couple, Twitter users had tweeted up a storm of more than 3 million tweets -- double the volume generated by this year's Super Bowl and rivaling the Twitter activity around the 2010 World Cup Final, which was a standout worldwide social media event.
Wedding-related phrases, from "William & Kate" to "Grace Kelly" to "#rw2011," also dominated all of the top 10 trending worldwide terms.
The hashtag #proudtobebritish continued to swell until it became the top trending term worldwide. The hashtag, which steadily gained steam throughout the event, seemingly echoed a tweet posted by Victoria Beckham Thursday.
"London looks beautiful!!!we are so proud to be British! X VB x," she wrote.
But not all trends on Twitter were so prim and proper. Cheeky tweeters started posting "QILF" and "PILF" in messages commenting on "gorgeous" Middleton and her brother-in-law Prince Harry.
"Prince Harry in that uniform...I soooooo would ;) #PILF," said one tweeter.
Middleton's sister Pippa (Philippa) Middleton was also a trend on Twitter, even attracting a mention from sometime Twitter king Justin Bieber.
"congrats to William and Kate ...and Kate's sister. She was a hit with @thatrygood," he wrote, apparently referring to his friend Ryan Good.
William and Kate's balcony kisses also made it into the top 10 trends in the U.S., although the first one – a brief peck -- garnered mostly negative commentary. The second kiss, however, won over Twitter romantics who tweeted more celebratory posts.
Camilla Parker-Bowles, Prince Charles' wife, also took a few blows on Twitter, as critics bashed her fashion sense and lamented that Princess Diana couldn't attend the wedding instead.
Eight of the top 10 Google searches early Friday morning were related to the wedding, including searches for "Princess Diana" and "Bentley."
According to Yahoo, Middleton's dress, shoes and tiara spiked in search, as did the questions, "What do royal earls do?," "What does pippa mean?" and "What is William prince of?"
The wedding also broke a record for live streamed video, previously held by the 2010 World Cup. According to Akamai Technologies, Inc., a leading Web services company that monitors Internet traffic, concurrent live streams of the royal wedding served by the company surpassed the World Cup's 1.6 million. The company also said it saw a "clear spike" in traffic in its News Index, which monitors real-time global news consumption, and noticed elevated traffic in Europe.
Keynote Systems, a leading mobile and Internet performance monitoring company, said the wedding was also a major mobile event. At around 4:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. ET, the company said the response time for several major news outlets' mobile sites nearly doubled, indicating increased interest in accessing the news at those times.
In the week leading up to the royal wedding, chatter intensified online. Over the past week, Twitter users posted 2.1 million messages about the wedding (a number surpassed in just the first half of the royal wedding day itself) and Facebook users in the US posted 1.77 public status updates with the phrase "royal wedding."

Hinata, cuz Naruto X Sakura seems so shipped
Hinata, cuz Naruto X Sakura seems so shipped
Akamaru x Naruto FTW.
But, seriously, I think NaruHina has a legitemate chance.
no chance, i think either narutoo will die or become a hermit and wander at the end
Something will happen between hinata but it wont work out saske dies so sakura becomes a lesbo and naruto will get caught in bed with the 5th.
"Let my ears hear not but the most sinful of lyrics"
with the 5th ............way to go naruto
Sound Village for sale
#1 Obito fan
#1 Hinata fan
I wasn't sure at first but I think it's leaning more towards Naruto and Sakura.
Naruto can choose anyone one he becomes Hokage.
^Yes he can. If not then explain how the 3rd must have had a son so that konohamaru can be alive. Two sons for that matter since Asuma was konohamaru's uncle.
Naruto + Sakura FTW!
Can't help it. I am a big fan of that pairing. Probably won't end up paired with anyone, but I hope if he does let it be with Sakura.
I don´t think Naruto will go for Hinata but he should!
They look cute together.
Naruto should take advantage of hinata just so his kid can have the byakugan. then kook up with sakura. after throwing up cause the 5th jutsu wore off being all tired n all from naruto.

Swiftsure 24
Hi Serah,
My wife and I had the pleasure of owning Swiftsure 24 hull #1 "Alfie" back in the late 70's and we still look back at her being one of the best boats we ever owned. During the five years we owned her, we and our daughter (who was 3 1/2 when we bought "Alfie") went on holidays every year of 4 and 5 weeks in the Gulf Islands as well as club racing and day-sailing. We always felt safe on her as her high ballast ratio, bolted and bonded hull/deck seam, bonded bulkheads etc. all were features usually associated with bigger, more expensive boats. She also very forgiving as she had an almost idiot-proof tendency to round-up and luff if you seriously overpowered her in strong winds. Although she looked tiny compared to the Catalina 30's and Petersen 35's in our club, when they went, so did we and felt perfectly secure in doing so. I think the only complaint we really had was with the Vire inboard ( a 2-stroke single cyl.). Ours at least would develop "vapour-lock" if you shut it off on a very hot day then tried to start it again too soon. The carburetor bolted right to the cylinder head and the sudden increase in temperature when water wasn't cooling the motor would "boil" the gas. This only happened after running for long periods on days where the air temp. was around 80 F. and up. Otherwise they're not a bad little motor which I believe you can still get parts for. Some boats were factory built as outboard models. Swiftsure 24's were built to rate "1/4 ton", as a competitor to the San Juan 24. I believe the San Juan is quicker in light air but my personal opinion is that the Swiftsure was a better all-round boat. "Better" is really a personal tastes/needs distinction anyway. One area you should check before purchasing is the deck and cabin top as they used balsa coring, considered "state-of-the-art" at the time, you can get soft-spots that may require some injecting. The plywood that many others used is hardly "bullet-proof" either. We never had any blistering, she left the factory with several coats of epoxy paint beneath the anti-fouling but that was 30 years ago, lots can happen. The builder was a local BC outfit, so I'm not surprised that info. is scarce, they ended up building powerboats and I think they folded eventually. I was told many years ago that the boat was designed to make use of a readily available supply of surplus Soling dinghy masts available from Proctor at the time. Accurate? - I don't really know. Someone who may have some old literature is Ray Donaldson at Harbour Yachts in West Van. He has quite a library of brochures etc. in case he needs info. on a boat he has for sale. He is also a very knowledgeable and honest broker.
The point of this long-winded epic is that if there is nothing wrong with this particular boat I think you'll be happy with it.

What the Fluff!?!
Day 1, Rebecca starts the #flatschallenge!
Posted by Becca on 5/24/2011 to
Frugal Cloth Diapering
Do you ever have something youve anticipated for awhile that just didnt go as planned? Thats how
Flats and Handwashing Week
has started for me. I used
exclusively for a couple of days here and there in the past month and I didnt find it much more work at all. But this week I have family visitinglots of themwhich I hadnt anticipated until only a week or two ago and its wonderful, but it is making a week of no
pocket diapers
diaper sprayer
, or washing machine just a bit more crazy. Granted, its not really the diapers thats doing thatits the extra dishes, laundry, cooking, and straightening up that a full house brings, but yesterday, my first day using and hand washing flats exclusively, I found it all to be a little overwhelming!
We were thrilled when we discovered my sister would be here and my husband took that as an opportunity to have a free babysitter while going in a couple of hours in the morning yesterday (he stays home most mornings while I work). This meant that I had to give her the
Flats and Handwashing
week rundown. You should have seen her face when I first showed her the diapers. I thought she was going to faint. Im not using pins. She told me bluntly, so I showed her the trifold stuffed into a cover and that seemed to give her a great deal of relief.
When I got home from work and asked her how the morning with my daughter had gone, she said that it had been fine, but that she was so worried that Bunny would poop and it would go everywhere because she noticed how the trifold sags down in the diaper cover. I assured her that if she did poop, it would stay in the cover at least, but figured she was ready for another fold so I pulled out some of the flats Ive already folded into kites and gave her a quick tutorial with a
on one of Bunnys dolls while she slept. I think shell be using that today when Im at work.As far as poop goes, Im taking full responsibility for that. Both my husband and my sister are aware that they are allowed to put the poopy diapers aside to let me deal with them when I get home since we have to dunk the poop off and they dont want to touch that with a ten foot pole.We went through about 8
flat diapers
yesterday. I thought that was good.
There are still more than half left that are clean while the rest of them dry (actually, its 7:00 AM as I write this and I washed and hung them last night at 10:00PM so theyre probably already dry!) and it wasnt a terrible amount of work to wash them. I was frustrated that I had to hand wash some pockets and maxi pads with my stash, though. I would have put them in the wash but there were only a couple of them. I tried to time the diaper wash so that I put my last load of pockets, prefolds, and fitteds in the washer just as I put the first flat on my daughter on Monday morning, but the diaper pail just got too full so I washed them Sunday afternoon and had a few more pockets that got used in the meantime.
I was surprised that it wasnt terrible hand washing the pockets with the flats when it came down to it, though. Theyll take a couple days to dry, thats certain, but since I wont be using them all week, Im okay with that.I have to say, with so much cooking, cleaning, and laundry going on, I do understand why women back in the day felt liberated with inventions such as washing machines, dish washers, and disposable diapers. I sort of feel like I have a never ending job. If only everyone would stop eating, wearing clothes, and my daughter would stop pooping and playing I could get a break! Ha ha :-D But at the same time, I feel blessed that I have the choice to use cloth diapers and a washing machine if push comes to shove. I also feel blessed that I have the choice not to throw lots of money every week into the trash with throw away diapers!

The oyster business in Port Lavaca, Texas, is shut down
Oyster boat owner and captain Jose Luis, left, boat captain Francisco Paz and owner and captain Felix Gonzales chat at the Port Lavaca city harbor. A monstrous bloom of toxic algae looming across the Texas coast has shut down oyster season for the entire region.
Curtis Miller, president and owner of Miller Seafood Company, dumps empty oyster shells. Fueled by Texas' ongoing drought, the algae bloom — known as Karenia brevis — thrives in warm, salty water and has spread through the bays and islands along Texas' 350-mile coast.
Oyster boat owner and captain Jose Luis, left, with his boat, the Luna. Last month, state health officials took the rare step of closing the entire coast for oyster harvesting -- all 17,586 acres of oyster beds -- before the season opened Nov. 1.
The $30 million Texas oyster industry, having already endured destruction from Hurricane Ike in 2008, fallout from last year's BP oil spill and the ongoing statewide drought, today faces one of its toughest challenges ever, says Sammy Ray, a shellfish toxicologist for Texas A&M University at Galveston who has studied oysters for more than 60 years.
In Port Lavaca, the effects are felt throughout the coastal city — from fueling stations to equipment suppliers and the bars and restaurants that fishermen frequent, says Curtis Miller, owner of Miller Seafood Company, which processes and ships oysters. The business, started by his uncle 37 years ago, is down 80% since the closures, as are others across town, he says.
At the Ed Melcher Hardware store on Main Street, the gloves, ropes, rubber boots and oyster hatchets that usually fly off the shelves this time of year gather dust in the front display. The closures are costing the store $4,000 a month, owner J.C. Melcher says, here with customer Dean Johnstone, left. During oyster season from November through April, oyster fishermen account for about one-fourth of the store's revenues, he says.
Photographs of Port Lavaca residents from the 1920s are on display at Melcher's Hardware.

#8 please please please Push to my Tower... you assure me as Blitzcrank many easy easy kills....
1. This is the most important one, never and I mean NEVER auto attack creeps in the laning phase. It's simply poor playing, I don't know why I keep seeing people who don't know this but everyone should know this and here's why. (a) the closer you are to your turret the easier it is for someone to gank for you (b) the closer you are the the enemy turret the easier it is for YOU to be ganked (c) it makes it harder to last hit creeps and sometimes might even stop your lane partner from being capable of getting the last hit also good job you just wasted gold for no reason. I think you mean their turret?

Posts like this are very helpful. I've played long enough to get to lv 30, but I play this game very casually (Never even done a ranked) so there were a few rules up there that I didn't know yet. You made some good points and I learned something. Thnx.
Whenever I try to just last hit then the people I'm laning against just auto attack them and push me up against my tower and I end up hardly getting any minion kills since my tower shoots the minions. And they just set up wards and ganks don't even help. Any advice on this? It's even worse when I don't have a jungler (I don't play ranked right now and nobody in normal jungles).
stfu stop telling people when and where to auto attack minons

Hull City have confirmed Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Amos has officially completed his season-long loan move to the KC Stadium.
Amos had agreed to join the Tigers earlier this month and linked up with Steve Bruce's squad for a pre-season training camp in Portugal.
The 22-year-old subsequently took part in United's early pre-season action, but has now headed to Hull ahead of the new Championship campaign.
He will vie with fellow new recruit Eldin Jakupovic to be Bruce's first choice for the opening game of the season against Rotherham United in the Capital Cup on Saturday 11th August.
The shot-stopper has made seven first-team appearances for the Red Devils and was rewarded with a new three-year contract at the end of last season.

It is hardly the past when it was the last game the two teams played against each other. I mean I could bring in the countless times the Titans have swept the cows in a season. Or the fact that only one season could you manage to pull in a win again us .... but I didn't .... I stated that Young did not need to communicate very much to leave the cows out to pasture.
I would figure will all the nifty pickups the moos made this offseason
that you would expect more then 5 win. There is no way the Titans finish below the cows this season.

text: I see where you are going with your screen size to sensitivity theory but I also have another: Play style to sensitivity and K/D. I'm seeing a few of the higher K/D's on lower sensitivities. So I'm guessing slower playstyles focused on aiming with light machine guns and snipers versus higher sensitivities and slightly lower K/Ds that are perhaps smg or assault run and gun playstyles.

Brief Synopsis
The following two articles were written during and immediately after the war in Kosovo. The first is an adaptation of an earlier work written after a trip to Asia in 1998. In that essay, I suggested that foreign militaries were beginning to perceive our fixation on a firepower-centered way of war as an exploitable weakness. In fact, some states, armed with experience gained against us in real war, had already begun to evolve a doctrine to counter our superiority in precision. These potential adversaries concluded that dispersion, deception, patience and a willingness to absorb punishment offered them the means to endure precision strike long enough to outlast a technologically superior foe. Subsequent practical experience in Kosovo caused me to modify this thesis somewhat, but not much. The "From Korea to Kosovo" article was written after a visit to Albania in May 1999. There I developed the central thesis for this essay: In wars of limited liability, success must be gained with a limited expenditure of means. A brief review of recent history tells us that we have been practically learning this lesson in real wars for half a century, beginning with Korea. The imperative to prepare for a full-scale war against the Soviets, however, has effectively impeded our ability to embed this lesson into our warfighting doctrine. Kosovo is a wake-up call. This article concludes with a maneuver warfare concept for this new era of limited liability wars in the Precision Age.

A lot vs. Alot: 9 Grammatical Pitfalls
in general, any species of fishes (class Osteichthyes) that are found at extreme ocean depths, usually more than 600 m and even to as much as 2,700 m (2,000 to 9,000 feet). The species, which represent more than a dozen families of marine fishes, are characterized by huge mouths, enlarged eyes, and the presence of luminous organs on some or several parts of the body. The light-producing organs serve to attract either prey or potential mates. These and other peculiar traits of deep-sea fishes represent evolutionary adaptations to the extreme pressure, cold, and particularly the darkness of their environment. The fish life of the deep-sea habitat is among the most specialized of any habitat in the world. Because competition is less intense in the deep sea than in shore or shallow waters, many primitive types and groups still persist there.

Coil freezing up causing the refrigerator to not stay cold and the freezer side to also not get cool enough to keep food frozen Kenneth W. • Deltona, FL • June 12, 2014 My Repair & Advice Unplugged refrigerator. Took cover off the back inside compartment in the freezer side and used hair dryer on hot to defrost the frozen coil. Once defrosted, unclipped Defrost Limiter Thermostat from top of coil, cut wires, stripped wires back less than 1/2 in., did the same to the wires on the new Defrost Limiter Thermostat, easily matching colored wires together and used appropriate wire connectors and covering with electrical tape. Clipped Defrost Limiter Thermostat back on. Put cover back on, plugged refrigerator back in and it has functioned properly since. Was this review helpful to you?

Bosuns chair
Never having used a bosuns chair this might sound like a dumb question but here goes anyway...
I am thinking about what it will take to properly rig a sailboat for singlehanded sailing. I was thinking what would happen if I needed to fix something at the masthead (and the gear required).
This made me think about ''what if I needed to repair/replace the forestay tang'' (or fix/mount something otherwise on the foward side of the mast).
Hauling a bosuns chair up (using a climber, etc.) using the main halyard places you on the aft side of the mast. Thus it seems that gaining access, working on something on the FORWARD side would be particulary difficult, *especially* at the masthead where you have only a very short length of halyard remaining between the chair and masthead sheeve (i.e. preventing one from working their way around forward).
Am I missing something elementary here?

NFL Injury Report
Last updated 11/18/14
Following his second consecutive disappointing season at the
helm of the New York Jets, coach Rex Ryan is reportedly telling anyone that
will listen that he'd be better off being fired if the team isn't willing to "rectify
player personnel and coaching issues on offense," reports Manish Mehta of the
New York Daily News.
The Daily News has learned that Ryan, the swashbuckling
point man who dominated the headlines for the past four seasons, has intimated
to "anyone who will listen" that he would be better off getting fired if
Johnson isn't willing to rectify player personnel and coaching issues on
offense, according to sources.
Mehta considers it unlikely that owner Woody Johnson would
fire Ryan, considering the coach has two years and more than $6 million
remaining on his current contract. However, Ryan hasn't been provided
assurances that he'll be back for next season.
Ryan's comments would appear to be pointed directly at
offensive coordinator Tony Sporano, but he could also be signaling a break from
quarterback Mark Sanchez.
The Jets are in the midst of a 6-9 season. While they rank
12th in the NFL in rushing, they've totaled the third-lowest amount
of passing yards in the league in 2012.

UPDATED: Monday, February 10, 2014 - 9:36am

Doctors from the West have now gone to Kiev and have found that Soviet Russia has given exact information about the disaster in their nuclear plant. Only two persons have died, and America managed to influence the whole world news media to say that two thousand people have died. There is a limit to exaggeration - two people became two thousand! And now Western experts have gone there and they have confirmed that only two persons have died. Four persons died afterwards, so in all, six persons have died.
And these are religious people trying in every way to deceive the world, to deceive the human mind, to pollute with ugly lies. So don't be against men as such; just being against Christian atrocities is enough.
And don't feel bad that something is wrong in you. It must be a remembrance. You can go through hypnosis so that you can remember better. That will help in both ways: you will not feel bad that you are having such bad, evil ideas, and secondly it will help you to make clear the distinction between men and Christians.
Now all European countries are Christian and they are ready for chemical war. And they will go on reading, "Love your enemies, Love your neighbor," and they will continue praying in their churches.and they will prepare a chemical death for millions of people. And the initiator is a fundamentalist Christian.
Ronald Reagan has been brought up in a fundamentalist Christian school, and he has not grown up from there. He is still retarded.
You can see the Christian mind: Americans were asked, "If you want your brain to be changed, with whom would you want to change it?" God came last. Nobody cares about God; that's how you can see.
If you directly ask somebody, then he will fight that God is the supreme being. But in an indirect way, they got caught. Ronald Reagan is ahead of God, ahead of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ and God - these are just fictions, even to the Christian mind. Otherwise, in the poll God should have come first - he couldn't even have come second - and Jesus Christ should have come second. And there are hundreds of beautiful people in the world; Ronald Reagan cannot have any place.
But for two thousand years Christianity has been killing people in the name of religion, in the name of God, in the name of Christ, in the name of the nation - so it is perfectly right to condemn them. But not every man is a Christian. To be a Christian is a degradation; it is becoming subhuman.
But it will be good to go through a hypnotic process to find out more clearly. Perhaps you may remember what were the techniques of the witches - how they functioned, how they managed to change people - because unless they were a danger to Christianity, Christianity would not have killed them.
It was a real danger, because Christianity has nothing to offer in comparison.

European Markets Mixed on Pharma Spinoff, Babywear Merger Collapse
LONDON (The Deal) -- Markets were mixed in Europe on a mixed bag of results this morning and with little by way of direction from economic data. Germany's market -- still more sensitive to events in Ukraine than elsewhere in Europe -- was down, while London and Paris were in positive territory.
Spain was down, despite news that one of its more problematic lenders, Bankia, had a better-than-expected first half. The bank is cleaning up its balance sheet faster than predicted and its January to June net profit rose by 48% to €431million ($579 million). Bankia shares were up 1.38% in late-morning European trading at €1.47.

German cash-dispenser and check-out systems maker Wincor-Nixdorf slipped 9% to €36.30 after it revised forecast revenues downwards, citing unfavorable developments in key emerging markets. Revenues are now set to be the same as last year instead of rising 4% as previously predicted. However, operating profits are still expected to rise 17% to €155 million following the sale of plant in Singapore.
Meanwhile in London, household, health and personal care company Reckitt Benckiser (RBGLY) was on a high after announcing plans to spin off and separately list its heroin-substitute maker RB Pharmaceuticals, based in Richmond, Va. The unit's sales are in decline, after its main drug Suboxone lost patent rights in 2009 and now competes with generics. Excluding the pharma business, Reckitt Benckiser registered first-half sales growth of 4% to £4.3 billion ($7.3 billion). Budget airline Ryanair Holdings (RYAAY) was up 4.3% at €7.13, after raising full-year profit guidance to a maximum of €650 million from a previous upper-end of €620 million. It said it is expanding its routes, while grabbing market share and airport slots from legacy and regional airlines which are cutting costs and traffic. Meanwhile baby- and maternity-wear chain Mothercare plunged nearly 7% to 241 pence as the market had its first real chance to react to Friday's announcement by U.S. rival Destination Maternity (DEST) that it was pulling a £266 million ($456.4 million) merger offer. Meanwhile Mothercare's CFO Matt Smith has announced he's leaving to go to another troubled retailer, the department store chain Debenhams (DBHSY). But he's got a 12-month notice period to serve, so the transfer may take some time. Still, Debenhams benefited from the news, moving up 4.13% 66.75 pence.

In Asia, the Shanghai Composite rose 2.41% to 2,177.95, after official data showed industrial profits in China rose 17.9% in the year to June. In Hong Kong the Hang Seng closed up 0.88% at 24,428.63 and in Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 was up 0.46% at 15,529.4. Elsewhere, markets are waiting for economic news later in the week, in particular U.S. GDP and payroll figures and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy committee meeting. In London, the FTSE 100 was up 0.18% at 6,803.18, while in Paris, the CAC 40 was up 0.33% at 4,345. In Frankfurt, the DAX fell 0.04% to 9,639.71, while in Moscow, the MICEX slipped another 1.41% to 1,368.81.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

- Conference date: 31 October–1 November 2008
- Location: Florence (Italy)
There are numerous methods of investigating intervertebral disc. Visualization methods are widely used in clinical practice. Histological, imunohistochemical and biochemical methods are more used in scientific research. We propose that a new spectroscopic investigation would be useful in determining intervertebral disc material, especially when no histological specimens are available.
Purpose: to determine spectroscopic parameters of intervertebral disc material; to determine emission spectra common for all intervertebral discs; to create a background for further spectroscopic investigation where no histological specimen will be available.
Material and Methods: 20 patients, 68 frozen sections of 20 μm thickness from operatively removed intervertebral disc hernia were excited by Nd:YAG microlaser STA‐01‐TH third harmonic 355 nm light throw 0, 1 mm fiber. Spectrophotometer OceanOptics USB2000 was used for spectra collection. Mathematical analysis of spectra was performed by ORIGIN multiple Gaussian peaks analysis.
Results: In each specimen of disc hernia were found distinct maximal spectral peaks of 4 types supporting the histological evaluation of mixture content of the hernia. Fluorescence in the spectral regions 370–700 nm was detected in the disc hernias. The main spectral component was at 494 nm and the contribution of the components with the peak wavelength values at 388 nm, 412 nm and were varying in the different groups of samples. In comparison to average spectrum of all cases, there are 4 groups of different spectral signatures in the region 400–500 nm in the patient groups, supporting a clinical data on different clinical features of the patients.
Discussion and Conclusion: besides the classical open discectomy, new minimally invasive techniques of treating intervertebral disc emerge (PLDD). Intervertebral disc in these techniques is assessed by needle, no histological specimen is taken. Spectroscopic investigation via fiber optics through the needle can give additional information of needle position, assuring the needle tip is directed into intervertebral disc material. Spectroscopic analysis of intervertebral disc removed during open surgery, creates background for further investigation on intervertebral disc degeneration spectral classification.

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.16 / 5.00 3,632 ViewsTwo birds meet and engage in a crazy dance that gets all sorts of birds into the fun.
A story of crazy love between two birds.
Kind of more a visual plaything than anything else, the movement being the energy between the birds.
Tried something original from my "TF2 Meet The" series, I'm also working on a video game as well but that's not TF2 themed. :P
edit: lol forgot to credit the song. DERP
Daigonite is a master at creating these amazing videos!!!!!!!!!!
The song was awesome. I would listen to a radio station that played this music. I was amused and that's alot from me.
electrojazz is allways a good choice, it tends to make things 20% cooler. i am also a fan of monochromatic things like this. keep up the good work, keep making your pieces smoother and keep experimenting! i look forward to giving you five stars some day.
Really love this. I can see a really better progress than your "other video", and I like the change of your series and try an experimental video whit... birds.
Now the animation are more smooth and the combination of colors always make a good show on your videos. I really love your animations and still doing your TF2 series and other things like this!
I've been kinda in a creative rut lately, which explains the lack of activity. I will probably continue the series but with a different direction than my last one; I honestly kind of regret it. But I think this helped clear my mind a bit.
Thanks for the review, as always.

Crest Ridge Saddlery
Elite Guffey
Trail SaddlesFor Sale on eBay Manufacturer: Crest Ridge Saddlery
Model: Elite Guffey
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: Based on reviews I read on horsetackreview, I visited the Crest Ridge Saddlery website at: http://crestridgesaddlery.com/index.shtml and ended up buying a "show casualty" for about $100 off the regular price of $1,193.
Likes: This is a beautifully made saddle. It's very comfortable and I feel very secure in it. But most importantly, it fits my Morgan mare! I am truly impressed with the customer care shown by this company!
Dislikes: I like everything! As a former english rider, though, the heighth of the fork is taller than the other saddles I've ridden. So, the horn is pretty tall, as well. While this keeps the saddle far off the horse's withers, it will take a little getting used to. On the other hand, I'm very secure in the seat!
Quality: The saddle is made out of thick leather with real sheepskin lining. The seat is deep and well-padded. This is a "gaited" horse saddle, which means it's cut to not interfere with the horse's shoulder and has round skirts. The cinch rings are bolted to the tree. Overall, I'd say it is at least as good or better quality than my fairly new Circle Y Park and Trail.
Summary: I have tried many saddles on my Morgan mare. If the gullet is wide enough for her shoulders, the angle of the bars drops the saddle on top of her withers. Also, her back isn't shaped like a QH (based on past experience, I'm not sure most QH backs are shaped like QH bars, either). I do alot of research based on the reviews on this website and saw the Crest Ridge Saddlery information. I had seen custom saddles for twice as much, so I thought I'd give the Crest Ridge a try. I followed the simple directions on their website and did the gullet/wither measurements. Then, I took a couple of picture of my horse's back and emailed them to Debra. She directed me to an Elite Guffey on their Show Casualties page and I ordered it. She even let me use my own FedEx account, so I could get it faster and didn't charge me a handling charge. When I got the saddle, I put it on my Morgan mare with a white towel, but no pad and rode long enough for her to sweat. I took a picture of the dirty sweat marks on the towel and emailed them to Debra. She told me how thick a pad to use. I did and tried again (while riding, a friend asked if my stirrups were too short and they were). Once again, I emailed the picture of the dirty white towel to Debra -- she wrote back and said it looked like my stirrups were too short. She's like a tea leaf reader for saddles! I haven't had the saddle long and have only ridden once since the white towel test (was busy shaping the fenders). My trainer just rode in it today -- and we found out my mare is gaited! My trainer said it's probably because she finally has a saddle that doesn't interfere with her shoulders. In summary, this is a quality saddle from a very caring and competent company. And, best of all, it fits both my horse and me!

Lena Dunham Writing Mini Series for ARCHIE Comics
By Jake Kroeger on March 3, 2014
As of now, the upcoming advice book from Girls mastermind Lena Dunham, Not That Kind of Girl, is not the only highly anticipated project that Dunham is writing or has written this year. Newly anointed Archie Comics Chief Creative Officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Afterlife with Archie, Glee, Carrie) has announced that Lena will be writing four Archie issues set to be published in 2015.
This is in part Aguirre-Sacasa's new direction for Archie after having critical success with Afterlife with Archie breathing new life into the students of Riverdale High School. In a press release, he elaborated on Archie Comics' new creative mandate: "My top priority is to find new ways to showcase our great lineup of properties – from the Archie gang to Josie to Sabrina to the Red Circle heroes – to current fans, to new fans. We have the best characters in the world, and I want to make sure everyone knows it."
Those that might be skeptical, take note that Dunham has been a longtime fan of Archie and will no doubt bring something refreshing and rich to a series of comic books that first started in the '40s. "I was an avid Archie collector as a child — conventions, first editions that l kept in plastic sleeves, the whole shebang," said Dunham. "It has so much cultural significance but also so much personal significance, and to get to play with these beloved characters is a wild creative opportunity."
Aguirre-Sacasa also has faith in Dunham, adding that "Lena's take on the Archie gang is funny and real and contemporary. It's a stunning fit, and I know fans will be excited to read it. I am!"
Just off the prospects of dialogue, tone, and how far Dunham takes it make this really enticing for comic books and Girls fans. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
HT: New York Times
I. Am. So. Excited for this! I'm a huge fan of Dunham's, and I feel like Archie comics were a lot of girls' entree into comics at an early age. I know that they were mine. So, to me, Dunham and Archie are a perfect combo. Very much looking forward to it!
[…] -Lena Dunham set to write four part mini series for Archie Comics. […]
[…] Fox, and Afterlife with Archie, and adding creative voices like Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lena Dunham to the mix, Goldwater and company have managed to make Archie Comics into a dynamic, viable […]
