Cal State system pushes Obamacare for students |
If California — with its huge, diverse population of uninsured residents — is a test for Obamacare in the United States, then the California State University system is a test for Obamacare in California. The university's 437,000 students hit a demographic sweet spot for the health care law. The system serves a large number of young adult students, too old for their parents' insurance but still young enough to be the healthy, uncomplicated clients insurance companies need. Nonwhite students make up about two-thirds of the student body, and a third are Hispanic or Latino — another group the administration is counting on to get coverage through the Affordable Care Act. Cal State system officials believe that tens of thousands of students on their 23 campuses could get insurance under the health care law. And they also hope that the students learn about the new health insurance options and help their friends and family members enroll. So, fueled by a $1.25 million grant from the state's insurance exchange, they're starting a massive outreach campaign. Walter Zelman, chairman of the Department of Health Science at California State University, Los Angeles, is leading the effort. Two decades ago, when President Bill Clinton tried to overhaul American health care, Zelman, then a White House health policy adviser, was deeply involved. But by the time the Affordable Care Act passed, Zelman was a continent away from Washington. Now he is poised to play a different but equally important role as Obamacare goes from theory to practice. He might not have drawn up this particular reform blueprint, but the success of the plans hinges on enrolling exactly the people Zelman is trying to reach. Many public college systems share Cal State's demographics and have high numbers of students who could benefit from information about the law, Zelman said. But few colleges are trying as hard as the Cal State system to tell their students about Obamacare. The federal Education Department hopes more will follow. So far, the department's work to inform the public about the law has been low key, in part because Republican lawmakers are deeply skeptical of its involvement. Telling people about the Affordable Care Act has consumed a "very minimal" amount of time and resources, Education Secretary Arne Duncan wrote in a letter to Republican senators last month. Still, Duncan himself has met at least twice in recent weeks with groups representing K-12 and higher education to encourage schools and students to spread the word about how the law works and whom it could help. Zelman says his work has two goals: getting the university system's students signed up for health insurance, and then serving as an outreach model for the rest of higher education. "This is the population Covered California needs," he said, referring to the state health insurance exchange. Many colleges, particularly those that mostly enroll 18-to-22-year-olds, have long required their students to have health insurance. Cal State does not: "We couldn't," Zelman said. Before the Affordable Care Act, "it would be imposing a mandate to buy insurance on people who were making $20,000 a year," he said. "They can't do it. You couldn't even conceive of it." Zelman estimates that between 20 percent and 40 percent of the system's students are uninsured, with the proportion varying by campus. And about 70 percent of students in the system make less than four times the federal poverty line, meaning they'd qualify for subsidies to buy insurance. Outreach can be valuable even to students who already have insurance, Zelman said. Many are the first in their families to attend college. Some come from households where English is not spoken, and the college students can be a valuable liaison between the state and their parents. If the system successfully reaches its students, Zelman estimates, it'll touch about 1 million Californians in all, many of them nonwhite and low-income. The Cal State campaign uses familiar college tactics. Colleges are sending emails. Student ambassadors are canvassing classrooms and setting up tables on campus to let students know about their health insurance options. System Chancellor Timothy White, whose support Zelman says has been crucial, filmed a video to screen at student events. "All of us know someone, whether it's a student, colleague, family member or neighbor, who doesn't have health care coverage," White says, continuing: "I want to make sure that you, and your families, your friends and neighbors know about this opportunity so that you can take advantage and help us get this information out." The American College Health Association is encouraging its members to inform students about health plans, said Anita Barkin, a past president of the group and director of health services at Carnegie Mellon University. But in addition to the law's contentious politics, some colleges fear confusing students who already have insurance. In many cases, the outreach has been limited to putting up a Web page with information and resources. Where universities don't act, outside groups have stepped in. Young Invincibles, an advocacy group for Americans under 35, is hosting events on college campuses to fill students in about their options, including events in states that have been less receptive to the law than California: The group plans to visit both Rice University and Texas A&M University in October. Another Young Invincibles project, the National Roadmap to Coverage, shows that awareness alone might not be enough for students. The road map has many forks. "Does your employer offer health care?" "Are you over 26?" "Does your school offer health insurance?" "Do you want to join your school's plan?" At Cal State, students enrolling in the exchanges will still have choices to make. They'll have to choose between less expensive plans that require more out-of-pocket spending versus more expensive plans that cover more upfront. University health services, which can take care of basic medical needs, can help defray some of the costs of a cheaper plan, and Cal State wants to make sure students know that when they make their choice. But the real goal of outreach is to make sure students know their options, Zelman said. And he's sanguine: "I tell our students, 'You passed math. You can do this.'" |

Leisa Goodman
Leisa Goodman | |
Residence | California, United States |
Employer | Church of Scientology International |
Title | Human Rights Director, Church of Scientology International[1][2] |
Website | |
Leisa Goodman at Scientology.org |
Leisa Goodman, as of 2005,[1] served as the Human Rights Director for the Church of Scientology International. She had previously served as a spokesperson for the Church of Scientology, and as its media relations director.
In her capacity as media relations director she managed Church of Scientology websites, presented the church's viewpoints about its conflict with critics on the Internet to the media, and traveled to Germany on a six-month fact finding mission to investigate the country's treatment of Scientologists. She went to Clearwater, Florida with Scientology's general counsel Elliot Abelson and then-head of the Church of Scientology's Office of Special Affairs, Mike Rinder, to attend a counter-protest against critics protesting outside the Fort Harrison Hotel. She works out of Los Angeles, California, and has served as Scientology's Human Rights Director since 1997.
Work for Church of Scientology[edit]
In 1990 Goodman was a spokesperson for the Church of Scientology out of the L. Ron Hubbard Office of Public Relations in Los Angeles, California.[3] Goodman was a spokesperson for the Church of Scientology International in 1993 and 1994.[4][5] In 1995, Goodman served as the media relations director for the Church of Scientology,[6] and in this role she managed Scientology websites,[7][8] and responded to the media about the Church of Scientology's attempts to curtail the spread of their documents on the Internet.[9][10] Jim McClellan of The Observer recommended Goodman's home page at wwww.theta.com for information about Scientology's perspective on its conflict with critics on the Internet.[11] As media relations director she traveled to Germany in 1997 on a six-month fact finding mission to investigate the treatment of Scientologists in the country.[6] She told the Los Angeles Daily News that she spoke with 200 Scientologists who said that they experienced adverse effects due to being members of the Church of Scientology including losing their jobs and having their bank accounts closed.[6] Goodman defended the Church of Scientology's analogy to the Nazis in describing Germany's treatment of Scientologists, saying "We know it is not a popular thing to say. But the truth isn't always popular."[6]
Goodman traveled to Clearwater, Florida along with other high-ranking members of the Church of Scientology including then-head of Scientology's Office of Special Affairs Mike Rinder and general counsel Elliot Abelson, to attend a counter-protest and response to an organized protest by critics of Scientology held in front of the Church of Scientology's Fort Harrison Hotel in March 1997.[12] Critics including Jeff Jacobsen, David S. Touretzky and others were protesting the death of Lisa McPherson while under the care of members of the Church of Scientology, and Goodman explained to the St. Petersburg Times that Scientologists who live in Clearwater did not want the critics' protest to transpire without a response: "They're not about to stand by and do nothing. They've got First Amendment rights. They take it very personally. This is their town."[12]
Goodman was the Human Rights Director for the Church of Scientology International since 1997,[13] and as of 2002 worked out of Scientology offices in Los Angeles.[14][15]

Cowden syndrome
Cowden syndromeOn this page:
Reviewed October 2012
What is Cowden syndrome?Cowden syndrome is a disorder characterized by multiple noncancerous, tumor-like growths called hamartomas and an increased risk of developing certain cancers. Almost everyone with Cowden syndrome develops hamartomas. These growths are most commonly found on the skin and mucous membranes (such as the lining of the mouth and nose), but they can also occur in the intestine and other parts of the body. The growth of hamartomas on the skin and mucous membranes typically becomes apparent by a person's late twenties. Cowden syndrome is associated with an increased risk of developing several types of cancer, particularly cancers of the breast, a gland in the lower neck called the thyroid, and the lining of the uterus (the endometrium). Other cancers that have been identified in people with Cowden syndrome include colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, and a form of skin cancer called melanoma. Compared with the general population, people with Cowden syndrome develop these cancers at younger ages, often beginning in their thirties or forties. Other diseases of the breast, thyroid, and endometrium are also common in Cowden syndrome. Additional signs and symptoms can include an enlarged head (macrocephaly) and a rare, noncancerous brain tumor called Lhermitte-Duclos disease. A small percentage of affected individuals have delayed development or intellectual disability. The features of Cowden syndrome overlap with those of another disorder called Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome. People with Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome also develop hamartomas and other noncancerous tumors. Both conditions can be caused by mutations in the PTEN gene. Some people with Cowden syndrome have had relatives diagnosed with Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome, and other individuals have had the characteristic features of both conditions. Based on these similarities, researchers have proposed that Cowden syndrome and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome represent a spectrum of overlapping features known as PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome instead of two distinct conditions. Some people have some of the characteristic features of Cowden syndrome, particularly the cancers associated with this condition, but do not meet the strict criteria for a diagnosis of Cowden syndrome. These individuals are often described as having Cowden-like syndrome. Read more about Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome. How common is Cowden syndrome?Although the exact prevalence of Cowden syndrome is unknown, researchers estimate that it affects about 1 in 200,000 people. What genes are related to Cowden syndrome?Changes involving at least four genes, PTEN, SDHB, SDHD, and KLLN, have been identified in people with Cowden syndrome or Cowden-like syndrome. Most cases of Cowden syndrome and a small percentage of cases of Cowden-like syndrome result from mutations in the PTEN gene. The protein produced from the PTEN gene is a tumor suppressor, which means that it normally prevents cells from growing and dividing (proliferating) too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way. Mutations in the PTEN gene prevent the protein from regulating cell proliferation effectively, leading to uncontrolled cell division and the formation of hamartomas and cancerous tumors. The PTEN gene likely has other important functions within cells; however, it is unclear how mutations in this gene cause the other features of Cowden syndrome, such as macrocephaly and intellectual disability. Other cases of Cowden syndrome and Cowden-like syndrome result from changes involving the KLLN gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called killin. Like the protein produced from the PTEN gene, killin probably acts as a tumor suppressor. The genetic change that causes Cowden syndrome and Cowden-like syndrome is known as promoter hypermethylation. The promoter is a region of DNA near the gene that controls gene activity (expression). Hypermethylation occurs when too many small molecules called methyl groups are attached to the promoter region. The extra methyl groups reduce the expression of the KLLN gene, which means that less killin is produced. A reduced amount of killin may allow abnormal cells to survive and proliferate inappropriately, which can lead to the formation of tumors. A small percentage of people with Cowden syndrome or Cowden-like syndrome have variations in the SDHB or SDHD gene. These genes provide instructions for making parts of an enzyme called succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), which is important for energy production in the cell. This enzyme also plays a role in signaling pathways that regulate cell survival and proliferation. Variations in the SDHB or SDHD gene alter the function of the SDH enzyme. Studies suggest that the defective enzyme may allow cells to grow and divide unchecked, leading to the formation of hamartomas and cancerous tumors. However, researchers are uncertain whether the identified SDHB and SDHD gene variants are directly associated with Cowden syndrome and Cowden-like syndrome. Some of the variants described above have also been identified in people without the features of these conditions. When Cowden syndrome and Cowden-like syndrome are not related to changes in the PTEN, SDHB, SDHD, or KLLN genes, the cause of the conditions is unknown. How do people inherit Cowden syndrome?Cowden syndrome and Cowden-like syndrome are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the condition and increase the risk of developing cancer. In some cases, an affected person inherits the mutation from one affected parent. Other cases may result from new mutations in the gene. These cases occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family. Where can I find information about diagnosis or management of Cowden syndrome?These resources address the diagnosis or management of Cowden syndrome and may include treatment providers.

Gunshow yesterday....
Prices for Black Rifles were high (2-3 times what they were just month or so ago). Ammo too. Few deals were to be had. The Gun Show promoter was making a large pile of cash though.Lots of looking, few buyers.
Listened to one guy complain about the high prices and the "gouging" . Asked him why he was buying now? He said he wanted a rifle before "they" made them illegal, but was unhappy about the prices. He felt that the prices should have remained at the "old" level.
I inquired why he hadn't bought a gun when he had the opportunity in the years leading up to now? Hadn't he seen the writing on the wall?
He complained that he hadn't "needed" one until now.
So I asked him why he felt that since the supply had remained the same and the demand had increased that pricing should not reflect that? What was wrong with good old capitalistic commerce? No one was forcing him to make that purchase. Why he felt that he could set prices rather than the lawful owner of the firearms? Why should anyone accommodate his failure to plan by giving him a gun at the "old" prices??
He complained that it wasn't "fair"
So I looked at him and said "I bet you are the kind of guy who doesn't merge with traffic until the last minute....yer the guy who runs up in the lane and expects everyone else to let you in, and bitches when all the other cars which have been in line to exit, or to enter a construction zone, won't let you enter to the end of the line....aren't you?" Weasel.
Everyone else laughed, and he got little sympathy from the crowd.
He purpled up and stalked off complaining about how he couldn't even find a gun he could afford.
I bet he'll be the guy who complains that there aren't generators or gas readily available at low prices next time the day after an ice storm either. Likely has two days worth of food in the house, even though he knows a winter storm is coming.
I hope he had to pay a pretty penny for a "Black Rifle". Stupid should hurt. Failure to plan should cost.

We're in Peru!!
Trip Start
Aug 28, 2010
Trip End
Our first overland border crossing in South America...and after 6 hours from Ecuador, a 45 min wait at immigration, numerous small huts visited, blokes with guns and uniforms and numerous stamps in our passports we made it across from Ecuador to Peru!... .After a further few hours on the bus through Peruvian desert we made it to northern Peru's biggest city, Piura! After walking from the bus for 20 mins through chaos of tuk tuks, taxi horns, serious exhaust fumes, 2 massive markets sprawling over the main streets (we are fully adapting to South American chaos) we made it to our hostel.That afternoon, we checked out a bit of town, and decided to have a basic (but tasty!) dinner (chicken with rice, yay!) in the hotel while watching Lima FC play in the bar/diner.... not complete without 20 locals looking in through the window from the road side. Needless to say, South American's are crazy about their football!

Multiple-cardiac-cycle noise reduction in dynamic optical coherence tomography of the embryonic heart and vasculature
Optics Letters, Vol. 34, Issue 23, pp. 3704-3706 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (288 KB)
Recent progress in optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows imaging dynamic structures and fluid flow within scattering tissue, such as the beating heart and blood flow in mouse embryos. Accurate representation and analysis of these dynamic behaviors require reducing the noise of the acquired data. Although noise can be reduced by averaging multiple neighboring pixels in space or time, such operations reduce the effective spatial or temporal resolution that can be achieved. We have developed a computational postprocessing technique to restore image sequences of cyclically moving structures that preserves frame rate and spatial resolution. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is improved by combining images from multiple cycles that have been synchronized with a temporally elastic registration procedure. Here we show how this technique can be applied to OCT images of the circulatory system in cultured mouse embryos. Our technique significantly improves the SNR while preserving temporal and spatial resolution.

De Beers, the South African diamond giant, is expecting India to account for 11 per cent
of the global consumer market for diamonds by 2016 up from 7 per cent in 2009. With this in view, the company launched its brand Forevermark in Bangalore in January 2011 and then expanded into Mumbai and Delhi. Now, Forevermark is planning to expand into more Indian cities and across the US by the end of 2011. The brand will drive growth in its core retail markets of China, Hong Kong and Japan as well. In Bangalore, Forevermark is available with Abaran, C. Krishniah Chetty & Sons and Joyalukka's. By the end of 2011 it will go to Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata.
De Beers launched Forevermark in May 2008. Forevermark diamonds come from a small number of carefully selected mines that are committed to the highest business, social and environmental standards. The diamonds are graded at Antwerp. Less than one per cent of the world's diamonds are eligible to be inscribed as Forevermark, making them truly rare. Each one must be at least 0.14 carats in size; of a clarity standard SI2 or above; of a Very Good cut or higher; and color L or higher. Forevermark aims to offer Indian diamond purchasers quality, integrity and inspiration.

Jetwing Optimus Prime is a remolded version of the popular ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime outfitted with the flight and weapons system featured in Transformers Dark of the Moon. The massive wings and dual gatling guns make for an imposing robot mode. The power-up parts cannot be reconfigured into a traditional trailer, but they can be attached to Optimus Prime in vehicle mode to form a flying truck of sorts. The more exclusive black version features the fan favorite "Nemesis" deco with copious amounts of chrome! Enjoy the extensive galleries of each figure by following the links and images below.

Unfortunately no. On Striker the gas tanks have been remolded again to accommodate the blasters, which leaves no room for the jet pack to be attached.

I prefer the original but the only difference are the extra paint apps on the Hasbro version. The base toy is the same. I think for the price difference, I would recommend people go with the still in-stock version from Amazon regardless of what I prefer. You're actually getting more. Seems silly to pay $80 to $100 more for less paint apps.

Very Depressing Anime - _ -,
By "shinidama" (CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: X - The Movie (DVD)
It wasn't what I'd expected, to tell you the truth. It had turned out more depressing than I thought. Maybe I would say they lacked developing the characters, but all the same, if you know about the story and manga, you'd fall in love with the characters - even the bad guys. Unlike the other reviewers, I'd say there WAS a plot(if you know CLAMP very well, you'd understand) The story is sooooo CLAMP-like. Nanase Ohkawa - one of the CLAMP members, who creates the stories and plots, likes putting twists and turns you'd never expect and fate plays a huge part in the stories of CLAMP. But the results are not always pretty. I'd cried my heart out for hours after watching this movie. *_* Don't ask why and yes, I KNOW it's just an anime, but the characters seem so real. Just imagine you are in the characters' shoes. I'm sure you'd feel SOMEthing. :p I'd give it a 4-half stars if not for the character-developing thing. And I don't know why some of the reviewers said the ending song was terrible. It suited the anime perfectly if you ask me. Well, that is if you understand the lyrics. But well, this is just my opinion.

umm storyline?,
By Hekler "hekler" (Dreamland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: X - The Movie (DVD)
Ok the storyline [is bad] period, in order to get into the movie you have to read the extras so you can get a background check on all the characters...then it will make sense, a little. For instance a woman on the good side,fighting to save the world; fights in lingerie-her excuse? she says it keeps her in check with her roots. Doesn't make sense does it? As for the dialogue, it's kind of bad, they try to build a connection between the characters and the viewers but it doesn't work, I don't feel sorry for the characters if they die, live, and so on. It's a pity that through out this whole movie-I didn't really get into to it-I was just waiting for the action sequences-if you're all into the animation and action sequences then this is a pretty good dvd for you. What i'm really upset about is the quality of the dvd. It's encoded at a 2/mps which is really svcd quality rather than the standard 5-8/mps dvd's. you'll probably can't tell the difference on the tv but if you play it on the comp then you can tell with a little "blockiness" in the background. I've seen hong kong pirated dvd's encoded at a higher bitrate-this has to tell you something... If you want the combonation of Story plus great animation then escaflowne is for you, This series literally raised the standards of animation-look out for the movie coming out next year, it's dark,bloody and yes it has a great story line coupled with animation.

Great manga series, SHOCKING anime!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: X - The Movie (DVD)
I'm sure you already get the picture by reading other reviews. I'm just writing this to reinforce the point that this is a very dissapointing attempt of compressing 20Volumes+ manga series into one 90 minutes movie.
If you can, get the manga serie instead, because it is very beautifully done, the art work and the story line are superb and you actually get to know all the characters in the story. The movie shocked me from the first 5 minutes when Subaru(from Tokyo Babylon) dies so quickly, while in the manga he is one of the most important character of the whole story. Then one by one all the characters start to drop like flies until there are two left for the main battle scene. My advice; don't blink because you might miss the whole final battle. Not even a great ending song by X-Japan(an awesome J-rock band) could save this movie, it is an insult to the manga series!!!!! If you want to spend money on an apocalyptic style of anime I suggest you get Angel Sanctuary or Earthians instead.

X (2.6 stars),
By New Jeruz (Trenton) - See all my reviews
This review is from: X - The Movie (DVD)
With such an uninspired title I should have been optimistic. But I am a Anime fan, so I gave it a chance. Just as the amazon.com reviewer stated, the plot of "X" is so simple, yet it is made extremely complicated by back and forth scene shifting, similar to a Quentin Tarantino film and too many characters. "X" is a rather dark film which has the overused, and generic plot which pits a man against the destruction of the entire world. The "dragons" are superior beings who battle each other throughout Tokyo. The dragons from earth, do not want to destroy the earth, but destroy the human race which they feel is destroying their earth. The dragons from heaven are sent to stop the earth dragons. The battles are often quick and become too repetitive. Many of the beings a.k.a. dragons have their own special power. The dragons from heaven create a shield each time they battle so the rest of the city does not get damaged. As the film slowly moves along, the last 20 minutes are a bloody mess, where most of the chracters parish in quick sequences. But by then I didn't care, I just wanted the film to end. The last scene is a sentimental sequence between a man and a body-less head! It supposed to be sad, but I found it rather amusing. Don't get me wrong, "X" isn't the worst Anime film, it's just average. My review may have pointed out all the negative, but the film did have it's positives. The animation production is by Mad House who did the classic "Ninja Scroll." My theory: rent this before you think of buying it.

I'll X this off my list of good anime...........,
This review is from: X - The Movie (DVD)
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, to quote a character from a popular animated show, "Worst movie ever." Before I talk about how awful this movie was I tell you what's good, beautiful artwork and design, in-fact if your an art student your the only person I might reccomend getting this because of the great artwork.
Now onto the bad, where to start......ahh yes, a plot, which X tries to have but ends up failing. There are two groups, the Dragons of Earth and The Dragons of Heaven, The Earth dragons want to destroy Earth to restore it back to how it was before we "evil" humans ravaged it and the Heaven Dragons want to protect us for Earth Dragons. Inbetween it all is a boy named Kamui who doesn't know what the hell is going on. He came back to town to protect his friends but, ends up joining the Heaven Dragons, too bad one of friends, Fuma, is swayed by the Earth Dragons and becomes the all powerful ulta-enemy, Kamui has to face at the end of the movie. As the movie drags on you feel like the writer was checking off a shopping list, "Alright he killed him, now he dies, then him, then her...." And that how it goes until we get to great big battle, that they been vamping the entire time, and IT ONLY LAST ABOUT 30 seconds! That's right it's an anti-climatic ending that makes you wanna put your foot through your television. Don't even get this movie to see how bad it is, just run! Run fast and far away from X.

I bought this DVD with high expectations. I had read many online reviews praising the animation, and being a fan of high-quality animation,I decided to take a look. The reviwers were obviously true to their words- the animation of this movie is excellent... the characters move fluidly, the backgrounds are detailed and realistic, and the color is stunning. The movie is most certainly eye candy for those who enjoy top-notch animation. Sadly, as beautiful as the animation is, it cannot atone for the loss of plot and characterization in the movie. The manga's story is compressed into a 100 minute film. Details are lost. I was left in a daze when the movie ended... I didn't quite grasp what I had just seen.
I recommend reading the manga before perchasing the DVD (or video), as it explains everything with more clarity. If you don't mind the fast-moving, almost-not-even-there plot of the movie, then go for it. I don't recommend this animation for children 13 or under-- there is a lot of bloodshed, violence, and death in this movie (if you've read the manga, then you've already witnessed the gore, but I thought that I'd mention it anyway to warn those who haven't read the manga). Also, fans of X keep your eyes open for the episodes (on TV). I'm pretty sure that X episodes are being released in Japan this year.

Make it stop, make it stop!,

This review is from: X - The Movie (DVD)
Let me make something perfectly clear: I love "X" the manga. It's a bit long, true, but compelling and beautifully drawn, and you can't help loving the characters.
It's a real pity those same characters don't make much of an appearance in the movie. Oh, sure, they have the same faces and names, but sometimes that seems to be about it. But that's not the worst. The worst is that the movie makes *no sense at all,* and like I said, I've read the manga. From the inexplicable battle between Subaru and Seishirou in the very beginning to the big "showdown" between Kamui and Fuuma at the end (which is set off by, of all things, saxophone music), this movie is one long exercise in "What on EARTH?" I pity the fool who tries to learn about "X" from the movie! I pity the fool! Having said that, it is good for a few laughs, although I'm sure that's not what the writers intended. It's so horrible you won't be able to keep from making fun of it. Thank God CLAMP has said this isn't canon for the manga...

What happens when you go too quickly,
By Amazon Customer "Ellie the technomancer" (Verdun, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: X - The Movie (DVD)
I was interested by the premise and the packaging and everything. But I must say this movie was really disappointing. It's not that the plot is not understandable; it's that everything happens so quickly that you don't even really meet the characters. For example, take all those human-dragons. Just by the way they are presented, you can guess that there's a lot of backstory behind them. But in the film, they just get killed very quickly. Also, for two groups that are supposed to be somewhat equal, everytime a good guy faces a bad guy, he gets his but kicked.
Finally, my biggest grip is the more-or-less friend of the hero who, for no sufficient reason I can remember, decides to join the 'evil' side, and in a matter of days, becomes as powerful as the hero who seems to have been training since childhood. Hellooooo!? I'm all for suspension of disbelieve, especially in anime, but this is ridiculous ! I guess this is better if you have read the manga before. Since this is not my case, it left me completely unsatisfied.

Can a man change his destiny?,
By Martin Prehn (DK 2650 Hvidovre Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: X - The Movie (DVD)
An interesting question X tries to answer. Before I start my review here's a little warning:
DO NOT WATCH THIS WITH THE ENGLISH DUB!!! I saw it twice in japanese and understood everything. Then I saw it once in english and I was totally lost. Everything is different in English! The brief moments of humor - gone. The tragic element of impending doom - completely missing. Any sense of compassion or sympathy for Kamui, Fuma or Kotori - simply not there. But rest assured that in their places we find a) bad acting b) a lot of words and pointless explanations that were NOT in the original version c) Some of the most incredibly stupid translations and pronounciations of names. People said "Kotori" and I thougt they were talking about "cutlery". And somehow they made "Kamui" sound exactly like "Kanoe" My favorite moment in the english version is when Kotori cuts her hand on the magic rain and as she starts bleeding Fuma brilliantly points out "You're hurt!". In the Japanese version he says nothing. So, anyhoodelidoodely: my review I like it. The anmation is great. The interaction between the good guys (however brief) lets us know exactly what they're like and what the chemistry between them is like. The two bad guys (the one who control water and the one who has that long scarf thingy -I forget their names) are sooooo cool. I only subtracted a star because I would have prefered to see less people die from suicide/selfdestruct/two for one kind of thing where both fighters perish together. The best deaths are the individual ones. And while the end is no surprise I love it. It's short, sweet, to the point and completely inevitable. The whole movie plays out like a greek tragedy. Their destinies foretold the brave warriors try to alter fate but find in doing so they actually end up making it happen. Great stuff. Yes, Tragic but great. Everything can't be a Disney cartoon! And don't worry about not understanding the plot. Anyone who knows anything about anime should catch on to the storyline pretty quickly. It's quite straight forward and should certainly not stop anyone from enjoying this fine piece of work and its gorgeus art and stunning animation. But in JAPANESE for God's sake!

Where did the plot go?,
This review is from: X - The Movie (DVD)
Very pretty anime as with most CLAMP works. The story dies in compacting it into 98 minutes. I know the story and like the anime even though they splice and cut to make entire story fit into the time. Personally I thought the Japanese track was much better than the English. Not for the normal reasons I have (bad voice acting being one) but because whoever wrote the script for the English track must have assumed that American audiences would have no clue what was going on. Most of it is such overkill. I tend to think Kanoe gives off the evil creepy vibe but it was explained within the first five minnutes that she was not the one to trust. Come now, if Kamui's mother did tell him such a thing do you really think he'd be that mean to the one he was told he could trust? The whole plot is a bit grim and with how little time there is between battles it can almost be summarized in saying "You're going to die. Face the fact. Your only choice is are you going to make your death a memorable one?" In closing the manga gives more to the story than just fighting and death. I'd recomend reading over watching if Viz could get their act together and regain their publishing rights.

My husband recently talked to his boss about PCSing (moving) to a location where we could get more services. Basically, we have no private speech, no private OT, no private PT. He gets 5 hours a week of speech at school, 1 hour a week of OT, and 10 hours of ABA (which I do on my own, and I'm not qualified). We are authorized 20 hours a week at $2500 cap, but the only person who will come out is charging $12000 for the first visit (we are very very very rural). So my husband put in for reassignment.

CCA manager Mark Franklin also won�t be part of the new entity and neither will his $1 billion Emerging Markets Special Opportunities fund, or EMSO, the people said. The fund, CCA�s biggest, will be part of a separate firm that he�ll run, according to the people. Romero-Apsilos declined to comment on who�ll own the business.
EMSO was one of CCA�s steadiest funds, internal data show. It bets on developing-market debt and has returned an average 10 percent annually since it opened in May 2000. The fund gained 6.8 percent this year through Nov. 8, the data show.
Other Funds
Franklin has also had success raising money from new investors. The New Mexico Educational Retirement Board, which manages almost $10 billion, invested $75 million this year in EMSO because it was �head and shoulders above the rest,� according to minutes of a July 2011 meeting posted on the Albuquerque, New Mexico-based pension fund�s website.
While Citigroup�s investment in CCA represents a fraction of the bank�s $1.9 trillion in assets, the unit�s strategies show the risks that U.S. lenders are still able to take while regulators prepare to enforce the Volcker rule. For Citigroup in 2012, many of those risks were rewarded.
CCA�s London-based European Credit Opportunities Fund soared 41 percent this year through Nov. 8, returning a profit to the bank, which owns most of its $232 million in assets, one of the people said. CCA executive Michael Micko invests in leveraged loans and riskier debts of European companies, according to the bank�s website.
Synthetic Portfolios
Fred Hoffman oversees about $418 million in two CCA funds that invest mostly Citigroup�s money in complicated credit instruments, the people said. The Strategic Credit fund gained 14 percent through Nov. 8, reversing a loss of a similar size last year, the data show.
Former Old Lane and Citigroup proprietary trader Ramakrishna Putcha joined the Strategic Credit fund this year to help it profit from riskier bonds and collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs. These are holdings that bundle high-yield loans and slice them into securities of varying risk and return.
Hoffman�s Synthetic Portfolio Equity fund, which invests the bank�s money in complex credit derivative products, jumped 30 percent this year. Credit funds on average gained 10 percent in 2012 through October, according to a Bloomberg index.
Others CCA funds haven�t performed as well. Bespolka�s $239 million Global Macro Fund, which wagers on interest rates and currencies, is down about 6 percent this year, the documents show. The fund has gained less than 1 percent since its November 2008 inception, compared with the 9 percent increase in a Bloomberg index of macro funds.
�Lion�s Share�
CCA managers also run a $322 million fund called D-Star, which invests money for Singapore�s sovereign-wealth fund and is up about 21 percent this year. A $517 million fund called C-Star invests Citigroup�s money in other CCA funds, the people said. The fund has gained 13 percent this year, the data show.
As regulators push banks to invest in safer assets to prevent another financial crisis, keeping Citigroup money in hedge funds is �not an efficient way� to use the bank�s capital, said Mark Williams, a lecturer at Boston University and former Fed examiner.
�Citi shareholders are paying a cost right now for a decision made a decade earlier to venture into risky hedge funds,� Williams said. �They�ve got billions of dollars of shareholder capital, which is really held hostage in this hedge- fund segment.�
Pandit had to do something to respond to the Volcker rule and withdrawing too quickly from CCA funds could destroy an �immense amount� of shareholders� money, Williams said. Still, if the new firm is a success, the deal should ensure that shareholders benefit as much as the CCA managers, he said.
�There�s got to be upside given back to the shareholders who took the risk,� Williams said. �The Old Laners should not be the ones that gain the lion�s share of the profit.�

What do you consider perfect running temperature? We'll say, for your long run (however long that may be). Just to even the running surface, we'll also say for a Saturday morning run starting at 8a.
Fortunately, here in the Pacific NW, we don't often have to put up with blistering sun and blazing heat; we actually don't even have to deal with frigid cold and driving rain that often, either. We're lucky. And when it does rain cats and dogs, we say, "Hey, it might rain on race day ..." and enjoy it anyway!

Loading Vancomycin Doses in the Emergency Department (Loaded)
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
In 2008, our ED administered an average of 245 doses of vancomycin per month. Currently there is no consistency in the ED practice in regards to vancomycin dosing. In 2009, the IDSA put forth new recommendations for vancomycin dosing in order to achieve therapeutic levels more rapidly. It has been hypothesized that if therapeutic levels are reached more rapidly then patients will in turn have better clinical outcomes and that the development of resistant organisms will be decreased. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged as one of the most deadly pathogens that are currently plaguing our patient population. Vancomycin is one of only a few antibiotics that are effective for treating MRSA. It is imperative that the ED physicians consistently and correctly dose vancomycin in order to give the patients the best chance to fight infection while helping to prevent further resistance in this already highly resistant organism. It is believed this study will reveal that the new dosing recommendations by the IDSA will lead to the achievement of therapeutic levels more rapidly. This information will in turn help to convince ED physicians that a change in current clinical practice is warranted and ultimately lead to better clinically outcomes for the patients.

Detailed Description:
Recently, the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) has released new dosing recommendations for intravenous (IV) vancomycin. These new recommendations suggest administering an initial dose of 25-30 mg/kg of vancomycin as opposed to 10-15 mg/kg which is more traditionally done. Currently in the Emergency Department (ED) some practitioners are using the new IDSA dosing recommendations for vancomycin, while other practitioners have not changed their clinical practice. There is currently little data available to suggest that implementing these new vancomycin dosing regimens in the ED will achieve therapeutic vancomycin levels more rapidly than our traditional dosing practice.

Squee lovers, I'm inclined to think these particular squee friends aren't whatsits at all, but are rather just some adorable snoozin' porcupines... but at the same time, they're the weirdest looking porcupines I've ever seen, so perhaps they're something else entirely? What are your thoughts, friends?

Deployment |
Exploded WebTools WAR and EAR projects |
WebTool's EAR and WAR's are automatically deployed as exploded to support fastest possible turnaround during development. |
Single file deployment |
There is now a "Deploy to server" in the context menu of files to allow single file deployement. This is to remedy that Eclipse WebTools currently only support deployment of complete WTP projects. To deploy these non-WTP files/projects right click on the file (-ds.xml, .ear, .jar etc.) and select "Deploy to server..." and it will be automatically deployed.
The deployed files are listed side-by-side with other "modules" that are deployed to the server. |
Classpath containers |
In previous versions our classpath containers were too conservative about which jars to include (we only included the minimal). To fix this we started including (almost) all libraries found in the AS installation. In future versions we would like to provide more finegrained options for what is actually included in the runtime libraries. |
Configuration |
Username/Password in UI |
A username/password is now available in the UI when configuring the server. Previously this had to be specified via command line arguments manually, now the adapter maintains this for you. If you get an SecurityException when trying to launch the server it is most likely because your server is protected and hence you need to fill the username/password fields with apropriate values |

- "Remember your lessons. Feel the Force surrounding you. Draw strength and courage from it. You will do well."
- ―Tili Qua
Tili Qua was a female Chadra-Fan Jedi Master and member of the Jedi High Council at the Hidden Temple, following the destruction of half of the Jedi Order at the hands of the One Sith order and the Fel Empire.
- "History disagrees, Princess. Was Roan Fel not Emperor when the Empire declared war on the Galactic Alliance? Did he not continue as Emperor during that war?"
- ―Tili Qua, to Marasiah Fel
Master Qua was present at the Hidden Temple, upon the arrival of Cade Skywalker, where he requested the aid of the Jedi Council in assassinating Darth Krayt. Master Qua was also present to hear the message of Roan Fel, through a contingent of his Imperial Knights, including his daughter Princess Marasiah Fel. Fel's Knights revealed that the Emperor wished to form an alliance between the New Jedi Order and the Empire-in-exile, with the objective of overthrowing Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire; Master Qua held some reservations about the Jedi allying themselves with the Imperial Knights after Roan Fel willingly, if reluctantly, warred with the Jedi and sided with the Sith, an act which resulted in the devastation of the Order.
Master Qua later agreed, along with the rest of the Jedi Council, to allow the reborn Darth Krayt's forces to attack the Hidden Temple, in order to allow Admiral Gar Stazi's fleet and Fel's fleet to ambush the Sith-Imperial fleet and deal a devastating blow to the Sith Empire. When Darth Krayt's Dragon ships began devastating the allied fleets, Master Qua evacuated the Hidden Temple in a vessel holding the Jedi younglings, encouraging them to draw strength from the Force to combat their fear.
After the remaining ships of the allied fleet arrived at Bastion, Master Qua went down to the surface of the planet and viewed the autopsy of one of Darth Krayt's new Sith troopers that had been captured by Cade Skywalker. Before he died, the trooper claimed that there were millions like him, causing Masters Qua and K'Kruhk to agree to an attack on Coruscant to try to defeat Krayt before he could assert control over the entire galaxy.
Cade Skywalker slew Darth Krayt during the battle, but Roan Fel was killed as well when he attempted to purge all life on the planet in an attempt to win it, and his Imperial Knights were forced to stop him. Nevertheless, Tili Qua among other Jedi attended the late Emperor's funeral, while K'Kruhk was chosen to represent the Jedi as a Triumvir in the newly formed Galactic Federation Triumvirate.[4]
