Cinecucina is proud to present a screening of Feeling the Air (Sentire l'\;aria) at MoPA. The movie documents the life of 15 year old An drea from northern Piedmont\, who chooses to be a shepherd\, leaving his c omfortable home\, surgeon father and teacher mother\, and the urban ritual s of adolescence\, to learn an unusual and dying trade in the mountains ar ound Biella\, an ancient town in wool commerce. This is no teen rebellion but a thoughtful choice whose realization we follow in rhythms of daily a nd seasonal time\, in the beauty and pageantry of changing conditions but in the timeless business of "\;il pastore\,"\;the shepherd.The f ilm makes no judgments but one: Time is a key part of this life where what marks the passage of time is not so much the clock as the gaze\, the hear ing\, the joining with natural rhythms of life. And what Andrea brings to this ancient craft is not only his passion but his intelligence that will help re-found for Biella its wool trade. Feeling the Air is a voyage of images and sounds of the secrets that tie a boy to the solitude of the pas tures while seeking a new identity.

In a study evaluating the financial impact of providing early physical therapy for intensive care patients, researchers at Johns Hopkins found that the up-front costs are outweighed by the financial savings generated by earlier discharges from the intensive care unit (ICU) and shorter hospital stays overall.
"The evidence is growing that providing early physical and occupational therapy for intensive care patients—even when they are on life support—leads to better outcomes," says Dale M. Needham, MD, PhD, senior author of the study. "Patients are stronger and more able to care for themselves when they are discharged."
Hospital administrators' concerns about costs have been cited as barriers to implementing early rehab programs in the ICU. "However, our study shows that a relatively low investment up front can produce a significant overall reduction in the cost of hospital care for these patients," Needham says. "Such programs are an example of how we can save money and improve care at the same time."
For the study, the researchers developed a financial model based on actual experience at The Johns Hopkins Hospital's medical intensive care unit (MICU) and projections for hospitals of different sizes with variable lengths of stay.
The Johns Hopkins MICU admits about 900 patients each year. In 2008, the hospital created an early rehabilitation program with dedicated physical therapists and occupational therapists, which added about $358,000 to the cost of care annually. However, by 2009, the length of stay in the MICU had decreased an average of 23%, down from 6.5 days to 5 days, while the time spent by those same patients as they transitioned to less-intensive hospital units fell 18%. Using their financial model, the authors estimated a net cost saving for the hospital of about $818,000 per year, even after factoring in the up-front costs.
The researchers then analyzed the potential impact of early rehabilitation services in 24 different scenarios, accounting for variations in the number of ICU admissions, cost savings per day and reductions in length of stay.
They found that in 20 out of the 24 scenarios, hospitals would have an overall cost savings by providing early rehabilitation to patients in the ICU, and in the 4 remaining scenarios, using the most conservative assumptions, there was a modest net cost increase of up to $88,000 per year.
APTA member Michael Friedman, PT, MBA, is a coauthor of the study.
APTA's innovative models of care video series includes an interview with a physical therapist who was instrumental in starting an early physical therapy program for patients in a Houston hospital's ICU.

This is my take on a traditional Christmas Star block. It would look pretty great in holiday fabric, but I would hate to see it pigeon-holed as strictly that, so I'm calling it Ribbon Star. The tutorial makes a 12.5" block.
Background (white):
• Cut four 3" squares
• Cut eight 2.5" squares
• Cut eight 2" squares
Star (yellow):
• Cut one 4.5" square
• Cut eight 2.5" squares
Color A (pink):
• Cut four pieces, 2.5" x 4.5"
• Cut four pieces, 2" x 4.5"
Color B (orange):
• Cut four pieces, 2.5" x 4.5"
• Cut four pieces, 2" x 3"
To make the block:
1. Mark the wrong side of all of your 2.5" and 2" squares with a diagonal line from corner to corner.
2. Lay out your pieces before you start sewing. I find it helpful to work from this layout as I sew—you'll be far less likely to get your colors and directions mixed up! Start with the 4.5" square in the center, and then lay out the 2.5" x 4.5" pieces in a cross shape, alternating colors as shown.
3. Now add the 3" background squares in each corner, and the 2" strips around those squares, as shown.
4. Next, lay out the squares that will be your star points. I put these squares face down, so I can see the marked diagonal (this is also exactly how the pieces will be sewn together). Note that to create the star points, the marked diagonals should always go from the center out.
5. Sew each pair together on the marked diagonal.
6. Trim off the excess 1/4" from the seam and press. I always press diagonal seams open—I find it to be more accurate than pressing to the side.
7. Add your 2.5" background squares in the same way you did with the star points. Note that the marked diagonal should always go the same direction as the star-point diagonal that you previously sewed.

Who do you think is the most artistic, BB?
I think in terms of musicality, interpretation and expression Takahashi is the most "artistic" among current skaters. Of all time, he's certainly not the most artistic, but he's up there for me... and kudos for being such an artistic skater in spite of having to execute all the difficulty too. In terms of artistic ability on the blade, edge work, and choreography, Chan's the best amongst currently active skaters... but I'd still say overall Takahashi is the most artistic.
I've said it earlier in this thread. I think it's Jeremy Abbott. Jeremy can express big variety of music with almost equally convincing skating to successfully highlight the best of that music. He could skate like a charming young man with inner power. He could also skate like a female ballerina (though I hate that).
I think Takahashi interpretes and expresses perfectly in certain narrow ranged music. It has become his style. A few ventures outside that narrow range, he was ordinary and sometimes he still used a part of that same style. My main complain is his fingers and his wrists. But his wrists suited perfectly in Blues for Klook.
Ah, right I keep forgetting about Abbott. Yeah, I agree that Takahashi's range of interpretation is for flashier/sexier interpretations (like tangos, blues, etc.), whereas Abbott has this "contemporary"/"experimental" look to his artistry that really pleasant and unexpected to watch. I do think Takahashi does have better expression, but Abbott is far more creative and avant garde in his choreography (maybe even more than Chan). In terms of skating skills, Abbott is almost on par with Chan, and maybe slightly better than Takahashi. I would love to see Abbott break out and do a wilder number or skate to something more anthemic rather than his typical classical music... he seems to have an introverted artistry that draws you in rather than projects outwards (which is fine, too).
I also see what you mean about Takahashi's hands/wrists... sometimes they really suit the music, other times I find them excessively fluid, soft, and borderline effeminate. My main issue with him is that he doesn't exude the confidence or have the same speed going into some of his jumps as the other guys, and they appear to be hurdles instead of seamlessly integrated... particularly in the latter half of the program he almost goes into them 'lazily'.
Most artistic of all time: Curry, Cousins, Cranston, Browning, Yagudin. That's in no particular order.
+ Plushenko. no doubt. that's your opinion, sorry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy13XYEpnI0 Plushenko and Vitas
and many - many montages about Plushy's art... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1euIAKGZp4 Ludovico Einaudi...Love is a mistery...
great artists? Buttle and Lambiel. And Wylie would beat Yagudin in that category as a pro...superb.
Best artisticly are Yuri Ovchinikov, Lambiel, Plushenko, Cranston, Bobrin
Even they are so different.
Look at Ovchinikov's feet, much better then Chan
how forgot about them????? ( CSG will tell me, they're not artistic, because they do not skate on one leg )
Thank you for the links!!!!!! This is Russian style!! Ovchinikov!!!! Bobrin!!
Some skating fan can deny Plushy's art, but the love what he gets from the people, no one can take away from him .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h53_qvQjNM


text: I'm a little surprised at these results. I didn't expect arch to fall that far behind, although i have got the impression their ARM support is a little lacking. One of the things i found so weird about arch is its relatively poor support for anything that isn't x86, because you'd think a distro that sometimes compiles things on-the-fly would be easily cross platform.

Levonorgestrel (LNg) IUD
Skip to the navigationTopic Overview
The levonorgestrel (LNg) intrauterine device (IUD) releases small amounts of levonorgestrel, a form of progesterone, into the uterus each day. This type of IUD reduces cramping and heavy menstrual bleeding. And it is a highly effective method of birth control.
There are two LNg IUDs—one works for 5 years, and the other works for 3 years.
How well does it work?
Most women have a significant decrease in uterine blood loss with the LNg IUD. Some studies report up to a 95% reduction in blood loss.1 Increased spotting during the first couple of months is common, followed by less bleeding thereafter.
What are common side effects?
The LNg IUD can reduce menstrual bleeding and cramps and, in many women, eventually cause menstrual periods to stop altogether. In this case, not menstruating is not harmful.
The LNg IUD may cause hormonal side effects similar to those caused by oral contraceptives.
- Breast tenderness
- Mood swings
- Headaches
- Acne
These side effects are not common. But if they do happen, they usually go away after the first few months.

text: I've talked with my sponsee a little bit about resentments and listing them. I gave him a "resentments prompt sheet" which helps you to begin your list. He has read the section in the Big Book about Step 4 and I purchased a Twelve and Twelve book for him as he is my first sponsee and is also unemployed and going through a divorce as we speak. In any case, he tells me he just doesn't have many resentments. I guess I'm struggling with what to tell him (and so is my sponsor) because for me it's hard to figure that someone that's been through two divorces and a number of jobs, is 51 and just tried to kill himself 2 months ago doesn't have many resentments. He says he is first on his list and I can empathize with that. But I don't want to do a disservice to him and let him slide through this all important step as it is the basis for the rest. Any suggestions or ideas from y'all would be greatly appreciated!!

Radcliffe testified Thursday in Caraballos trial in U.S. District Court in Rutland, where he stands accused of killing Barratt in July 2011.
At the time, Radcliffe testified, he was a heroin and crack cocaine addict living in Brattleboro, where he said he bought drugs from Caraballo to use and to sell to support his habit.
The 31-year-old Radcliffe said it was a business arrangement that worked for a while. But eventually he became deeply indebted to the Holyoke, Mass., man who fronted him some drugs on July 27, 2011, with orders to make some money.
He told the court he was surprised when Caraballo called him the next morning demanding that he pay all of the $1,800 he owed.
He said he needed all the money I owed him, but I hadnt had a chance to sell the drugs he gave me the night before, Radcliffe said.
When he asked what the hurry was, he said, Caraballo told him that someone stole his safe full of $10,000 worth of heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine.
He said he thought it was one of two people, Radcliffe testified. I said, Let me guess, one of them is Melissa Barratt, and he said, Yes.
Radcliffe added, He told me that she had called him away that morning for a booty call and when he came back the safe was gone. He thought she called him away from the hotel room so someone else could get in there and steal it.
When Radcliffe said he would have struck the Brattleboro woman if she had stole from him, Caraballo allegedly responded: No, (Im) so calm its scary.
At some point during multiple discussions on the morning of July 28, 2011, Radcliffe said, Caraballo asked him an unusual question.
He said he was about to make some noise and he didnt know where to do it, Radcliffe said.
Federal prosecutors have argued this week that it was hours after that phone call that Caraballo walked Barratt into a wooded area off East West Road in Dummerston and killed her with a single gunshot to the back of the head.
Radcliffe was one of more than a half-dozen witnesses to take the stand on the fourth day of Caraballos homicide and drug distribution trial.
Federal prosecutors spent much of the day laying evidentiary foundations by calling a mobile phone company manager to the stand to testify about Caraballos phone records; hearing forensic evidence that showed the heroin, crack cocaine and powder cocaine bought from Caraballos alleged drug ring was real; and analyzing motel receipts at places where he stayed.
They also called a handful of people who testified about their involvement in Caraballos alleged drug- and gun-trade activities.
Jacqueline Derby, 21, of Newfane, told the jury that she stole a Glock handgun of the same caliber as the one used to kill Barratt from a home she was staying at in Bellows Falls.
She said she traded the gun for a small amount of crack cocaine and to erase a debt she owed.
On Wednesday jurors had heard from Putney resident Thomas Parrott, who said he received the gun that Derby stole and traded it to Caraballo for crack cocaine roughly two weeks before Barratt was killed.
Toni Lynn Fontaine, 26, of Brownsville, told the jury Thursday that when she was living in Brattleboro in 2011 she traded a stolen Desert Eagle .357-caliber handgun to Caraballo to erase a drug debt she owed him.
Defense attorneys Mark Kaplan and Natasha Sen attacked the credibility of Fontaine and Radcliffe, who both accepted plea deals from federal prosecutors for sentencing consideration on drug-distribution charges that could send them to jail for up to 20 years.
Kaplan also questioned Radcliffe repeatedly about his history of cooperating with police to have criminal charges reduced or eliminated.
You figure youll always get out of it and the reason is, you shift the blame to somebody else, Kaplan said. Youve done that over and over and over.
The trial resumes today and is expected to last two more weeks.

Seven UX Resolutions for App Design in 2014
Many innovative trends came into their own this year where experience design and application development converge, specifically the simplicity of flat design and the user-friendly functionality of cross-platform design.
Each of these was a welcome improvement for all app users, and with the new year approaching, this is a great time for app designers to make some UX resolutions for even better digital experiences in 2014.
1. I will not use lengthy setup wizards
Users should be able to get inside an app and/or through a setup process without being forced to enter all their profile/account information at the very beginning. Regardless of how important this data is, apps that are built with UX in mind must be designed to offer users the option to enter this information whenever they want to.
2. I will limit feature tours
Multi-page explanations of an app are confusing and the opposite of user-friendly. Well-designed apps and web services should be easy to use and understand, so not only should there be no need for more than three pages of information on usage, if there does need to be a lengthy explanation, it should be provided as users move naturally though the platform.
3. I will leverage retina-level graphics
Anything less just looks unprofessional.
4. I will not blindly follow user requests
Many companies will ask users or internal stakeholders about what design elements they'd like to see incorporated into a web app or service, without doing any research to see if these requests will actually provide the best experience for those users. Ultimately, this approach is destined to end in failure: not only will it fail to solve foundational problems, it may even create new issues.
5. I will not overuse notifications
I've heard many people express frustration with the way certain apps abuse their notification systems. Companies think it's no big deal to send out a plethora of notifications to users, but it's actually a huge turnoff, the result being that users end up turning off notifications altogether. That's never a good thing.
New Year's app design resolution for 2014: I will not blindly follow user requests
6. I will stop using hub and spoke design
The hub and spoke design model refers to design that's architected around a central hub, with all traffic start there and moving out along spokes that ultimately have to be reversed to get back to that central point. The hub turns into a dashboard that's purely navigational, forcing users to click something before they can get anywhere else within the app. Let's see more dynamic hubs in 2014, ones that provide information as well as navigation rather than simply directing traffic to other areas of a site or application.
7. I will not build siloed apps
Applications or web services that don't allow single sign-on (SSO) options should definitely look to remedy this in 2014. Giving users the option to sign in or sign up through an email or social media account not only helps battle password fatigue, it also allows the app to capture necessary account information. Companies should also take advantage of deep-linking between apps, which supports more efficient interactions with less app-switching frustration. Now that iOS and Android support it, apps need to take advantage.

One dimensional usage: where applications are designed and documented with only tasks imagined or intended by the development team covered-leaving huge gaps in configuration, re-use and off-axis use. For example, the Samsung documentation and embedded help say absolutely nothing about where files are stored when I save attachments from a text message, nor do the gallery or texting applications allow me to configure these locations.
The reason, I suspect-and this is just one example-is that the developers created a workflow for managing files that was based on social media sharing where all files were put in a couple of bins that are exposed through the API but not universally available.
I would like to see a reduction, not increase in the amount of Social Media authentication used in app sign-ups. With the issues regarding privacy over the last year we should all be more active in keeping the data relationship between app owner and user more secure.
I share your privacy concerns about using SSO with social media accounts, especially if they are requesting access to more information than necessary. A good rule of thumb that I use before recommending social media SSO to AKTA's clients is to only offer it when the app itself is social in nature, and the user will direclty benefit from having their friends list and streamlined sharing capabilities. I should also add that a native signon should always be an option for users who do not have or want to connect to their other social accounts.
The only one missing is "do not interrupt the user experience to prompt the user for a review of your app"

Padres seeking edge against tough Dodgers
Stults draws opener opposite Ryu, aims to expose hosts' weakness
The Dodgers may have cooled off since their historic 42-8 run, but they still find themselves in control of the National League West and in the hunt for the NL's best record as they welcome the Padres to town on Friday.
Los Angeles is 6-5 since rattling off 42 wins over a 50-game stretch from June 22-Aug. 17, yet the Dodgers still have lost just one of their last 20 series. That lone series defeat came earlier this homestand at the hands of the Red Sox, but the Dodgers bounced back to claim a series victory against the Cubs on Wednesday, prior to Thursday's off-day.
The Dodgers on Friday will turn to rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu as they open the final three-game installment of their current nine-game homestand. Ryu has impressed in his first big league season, going 12-5 with a 3.08 ERA in 25 starts. He has been even more impressive at Dodger Stadium, specifically, where he is 6-2 with a 2.12 ERA in 12 starts.
The same can't be said, however, for the Dodgers' offense. Los Angeles has struggled at home offensively for much of the season, averaging just 3.4 runs per game at Dodger Stadium. Conversely, the Dodgers average 4.6 runs per game and hit an NL-best .273 on the road.
Padres starter Eric Stults will look to keep that trend going as he takes the hill in the opener, hoping to improve upon some poor road splits this season (3-8, 4.93 ERA).
"As long as our at-bats are solid, we'll put runs up," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "As long as we take our hits, pass the torch to the next guy, don't try to do too much -- that's the kind of club we are. We're not a home run club. We may hit some, but we haven't been as good [at home]. I don't think we've hit enough line drives here. I think we get away from our game. We're kind of a 12-13-hit attack that can put some runs up."
The Padres are coming off a victory over Arizona on Wednesday night in which outfielder Will Venable launched his career-high 20th home run of the season. That's the most long balls by a Padres outfielder since Mike Cameron hit 21 in 2007.
Third baseman Chase Headley is hoping to return on Friday after leaving Tuesday's game early with back stiffness and then sitting out Wednesday's finale against the D-backs.
Padres: Quentin set for surgery
Left fielder Carlos Quentin will miss the remainder of the season, as he's headed for his third knee surgery in the past 18 months. Quentin will undergo the operation on his right knee in the next couple of weeks with hopes of being healthy by Spring Training.
"A week ago, there were concerns about the overall health of the knee," Quentin said. "It seemed bleak then. Today, it feels a lot better than all of us expected. That was a good sign."
It was Quentin, of course, who charged the mound in April after being plunked by Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke. The ensuing collision landed Greinke on the disabled list with a separated right shoulder.
Dodgers: Mattingly experimenting with order
Mattingly used a rare day off for first baseman Adrian Gonzalez on Wednesday as an opportunity to try something different with the Dodgers' batting order.
Along with giving Gonzalez a breather in Wednesday's series finale, Mattingly moved Yasiel Puig into the leadoff spot and slotted outfielder Carl Crawford into the No. 2 hole. Crawford had exclusively hit leadoff in his 78 games this season prior to Wednesday.
"I would like to possibly look into that a little bit," Mattingly said. "It may work nice if I could flip flop Carl and Puig and Hanley [Ramirez] and Gonzo. It's something I've kind of been thinking about."
Crawford went 0-for-4 in the initial experiment on Wednesday, though it was cut short when Puig was removed from the game after just four innings.
Worth noting
• Stults was drafted by the Dodgers in the 15th round in 2002 and ultimately spent parts of four seasons with the Dodgers from 2006-09. He went 8-10 with a 4.84 ERA over 35 appearances (24 starts) during that time.
• Crawford is 5-for-7 (.714) with a home run, a triple and two RBIs lifetime against Stults.

I am thinking of making a simplistic C++ GUI library and figured that it would be a little lame to learn X 's interface (to make up a nice C++ wrapper around it) when something new (and hopefully, more friendly) is about to make an entrance.
But I could not find clear information about what interfaces I'll be able to use, and the 'hierarchy' of them.
Seeing some articles about Qt (and other) applications already (to an extent) being able to run on Wayland, I'm curious about what replaced the native X server calls.
I'm also confused about the 'who sits on top of whom' in Wayland.
Can I do everything (w.r.t graphics) with OpenGL(/ES) ?
I'm, thus, basically hunting for information about what I'd have to learn for it. (...my level of knowledge being fair competence with standard C++, some libraries and parts of the Linux and posix interface)
(I'll be grateful if someone can dig up some old articles/documents from here or somewhere else that talks about this, that I may not have found by searches)

Plumas, Sierra and Lassen County residents feel M4.7 earthquake
Feather Publishing
5:00 p.m. update
The M4.7 earthquake was followed by at least nine small aftershocks throughout Thursday morning, ranging in size from M1.1 to M2.5, with the last one occuring at 8:24 a.m.
The Nevada Seismological Laboratory within the College of Science at the University of Nevada, Reno had this to say about the M4.7 quake on its website, "This right-lateral, strike-slip temblor was sourced at a depth of 12 km. This earthquake is in contrast to the hundreds of smaller quakes that have been recorded beneath Sierraville over the past several months that are noteworthy based on their depth. The Sierraville swarm has seen the majority of small earthquakes at a depth of 29-35 km, and are consistent with magma injection and diking at the crust-mantle boundary."
10:15 a.m.
The M4.7 quake was widely felt across the state, with hundreds of reports each from the Sacramento, Grass Valley, Tahoe, Reno and Chico areas. One response from the south came from San Luis Obispo at a distance of 485 miles and yet another 400 miles to the north in Grants Pass, Oregon. Over 8800 responses have been posted on the "Did You Feel It?" website.
A quick followup call to Sheriff dispatchers in Plumas, Sierra and Lassen counties this morning confirm there are still no reports of damages or injuries.
The quake was in an area known as the Mohawk Valley Fault Zone (MVFZ). Recent research posted on the USGS website about the MVFZ was prepared by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology and gives an extensive history of the seismic activity for the area in a document called Geodetic Constraints on the Slip Rate of the Mohawk Valley Fault Zone, California.
Major news sources including television, radio and newspaper internet websites are incorrectly reporting the epicenter of the quake was in southern Plumas County, when it was really seven miles south of the county line in Sierra County. (See map)
If you'd like to share your "quake" experience, fill out the comment form below or go to our facebook page for plumasnews.com or lassennews.com and hit "comment" under the story.
12:30 a.m.
By 12:30 a.m. over 3900 people in the north state have reported feeling the earthquake at the USGS website. According to both the Sierra County and Plumas County Sheriff dispatchers, there are no reports of damage or injuries at this time.
11:52 p.m. - The earthquake has been downgraded to a 4.7 magnitude.
If you felt it, please comment using the form below and again here at USGS. Northern California residents from Calpine and Chilcoot are reporting this was a moderate quake, and it was felt as far away as Napa and Petaluma at this time.
11:45 p.m. - Residents of Plumas County felt the 5.2 magnitude earthquake centered south of Highway 49, two miles west of Sattley in Sierra County. In Quincy it was a fairly mild shaking about 11:37 p.m. lasting what seemed about 15 seconds, but it was strong enough to get the entire family of this reporter out of bed.

This portraitback to top
This picture commemorates the part of the coronation ceremony during which the king, already crowned, receives the homage of the nobility and clergy. The focus to the portrait is one of the more touching moments in the proceedings. Kneeling before the king, the elderly Archbishop of Canterbury, Frederick Temple, had found difficulty in rising again. As The Times reported, 'the King himself takes him by the right hand to help to raise him. Slowly and painfully, as it seems, the Archbishop regains his feet, and then he leans forward and kisses the King on the cheek; but, as he turns to leave, the King takes him again by the hand and clasps it with a gesture of regard too spontaneous and cordial to escape the most casual observation'. Among the many identifiable figures, the Prince of Wales is shown in the foreground and Queen Alexandra is seated to the right.
