- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Montorio is an ancient residence constructed in 1300. The story goes that perhaps it was originally a convent inhabited by brothers who chose this suggestive and contemplative position in front of the parish Church of Santa Maria, in whose place today rises the Tempio di San Biagio, a work of Antonio da Sangallo the Elder, built in the 1500's. At the end of the '90's, the property was in a complete state of abandon and decay, when my family bought this beautiful ruin, and which today has become a fascinating and elegant holiday house. Your unique locationSitting on a hill at the foot of Montepulciano, it has in front of it the imposing Church of San Biagio, behind it you see the gentle Sienese hills , with their beautiful vineyards, olive groves and wheat fields. Art, history, nature meet at Montorio, which with its exclusive position offers you the privilege of a stay in a country house on a step from the town. Today Montorio is subdivided into apartments, each one with an independent entrance, furnished in a Tuscan style, restrained and elegant. Each one has been given a name of an illustrious personality that has given prestige and splendor to this jewel of the Renaissance today called the 'Pearl of the 1500's'.To ensure privacy to our guests, at the entrance of the property there is a gate that we keep closed and at the time of check in we will provide our guests of a remote control ... more less

I turned the heat on for a minute and the smoke alarm went on and the room smelled like smoke. The sheets had blood stains on it.
Overall very confortable. Could get new sheets and fix the air system.

Low key, high quality! For---/nt, I wasn't expecting much. However, I now have a hotel I will use EXCLUSIVELY when I go to Miami!! This hotel is outstanding. The nescafè machines in the room for a perfect espresso in the morning.
The breakfast (included) was minimal at best, but juice and blueberry muffins. Can't complain; Too much, anyway. Parking was pretty much nonexistent.

LEGO my library: Imagine Rigney's cool homage to Michael Graves
Kids do the darnedest things with LEGO bricks and games, as Joel Warner pointed out in this feature last January. But few projects are quite the labor of love involved in one fifteen-year-old devotee's astonishing replica of the Denver Public Library on Broadway: 7,000 bricks, two solid weeks of full-time construction...and no glue, of course.
Budding engineer Imagine Rigney (yes, that's his real name) moved to Denver this summer and got hooked on architect Michael Graves's vision for the downtown library. Rigney's tribute isn't on public display at the moment, but staff at the central branch have been given a glimpse of it and have marveled at the attention to detail, right down to the sculptures outside and the different-colored bricks.
"Google's 3D Warehouse came in handy for getting shots of every part of the building," Rigney explains in a statement accompanying the work. "The curved part of the building and the support beams on the roof were the most challenging."
For larger photos of what Rigney wrought, look below. For more of his colorful details and other designs, go here and here.

I need to get this off my chest, I love you M.I.A. but siding with Julian Assange didn't exactly make my panties wet if you know what I mean. Seriously grow the fuck up and realize that sexual assault & rape and freedom of speech are two c o m p l e t e l y different things and that Julian Assange is no better than the corrupted people he and his organisation trying to unveil. Not everything is part of a big giant conspiracy and for him to act like a scared little mouse hiding and starting a war via WikiLeaks on Swedish feminists speaks volumes. If the poor sod was in fact innocent, well, I think he would act quite different.
That said, Thursday's Danja dug out this unheard and unreleased track from M.I.A. via his "Throwback Track Thursday" called 'Doobie', made around the same time they did 'Bad Girls'. While we wait for Interscope to release further information about M.I.A.'s pending upcoming album, 'Doobie' is far more enjoyable than M.I.A.'s involvement in the political debacle surrounding Assange. Have a listen below:

Aspirin is widely used either alone or in combination with other antiplatelet agents to prevent blood clots from forming in arteries. Aspirin is used specifically in several situations including:
Treatment of heart attacksIn a large multi-center study (Second International Study of Infarct Survival of the ISIS-2 trial) of patients having acute heart attacks, early treatment (within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms) with aspirin (160 mg/d) was found to reduce deaths from the heart attacks by 23%. The improved survival is believed to be due to aspirin's ability to quickly prevent further blood clots and the expansion of existing clots and thus limit the amount of damage to the heart's muscle.

Nets to Queens? Are you ready for the Sunnyside Nets? It's no secret that Nets owner Bruce Ratner has a jones for Brooklyn, but the recent lease extension that could keep the team at the Meadowlands through the 2012-13 season also allows the Nets to move to Queens without paying a penalty. Ratner spokesman Barry Baum declined to tell The Score why Queens is mentioned in the lease extension. "We are currently in the public approval process for Atlantic Yards and as we have repeatedly said our plan is to move the Nets to Brooklyn in time for the '09-10 season," Nets CEO Brett Yormark said in a statement released by the team. Of course, NYC2012 said the same thing about the West Side Stadium right before it unveiled plans for a Queens Olympic stadium, and Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn spokesman Daniel Goldstein speculates that Ratner is making contingency plans in case his controversial $4.2 billion Atlantic Yards project eventually meets the same fate as the Jets' proposed field. One possible location might be the Sunnyside railyard - City Councilman Eric Gioia has long advocated development over the MTA's railyard. Another future home for the Nets, New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority spokesman Bernard Spigner says, could be . . . New Jersey. "We've told the Nets umpteen times if things don't work out, you're always welcome here," Spigner says.

Rainer Drops
'Water Drops on Burning Rocks' resurrects a Fassbinder story
By Richard von Busack
ONE DEPRESSING PARAGRAPH on one depressing page of Peter Biskind's depressing book on 1970s Hollywood--Easy Riders, Raging Bulls--presents a theory endorsed by producer Roger Corman and actor Jack Nicholson. Both filmmakers claim that once nudity turned up in American movies, circa 1970, the American audience's patience with European cinema ended. Says the immortal Nicholson: "All the American audience's supposed greater education through Jules and Jim, 8-1/2 and so on ... seems to have evaporated. It now seems that the reason for the success of Blowup was that it included the first beaver shot [seen] in a conventional theater."
One drop of consolation in this bitter draught: the strategy worked once and could work again. American movies are rankly, unforgivably unsexy right now. Moreover, those who are truly into just seeing some sex can skulk into the part of the video store that's behind the curtain. Thus, there's no real pressure to make films hotter than, say, the throbbing uncontrollable passion of Richard Gere looking sideways in the general direction of Winona Ryder. However, there is still Europe! As Sophie Marceau said, Dracula-wise, to a tied-up 007 (Pierce Brosnan), "Sometimes, we forget the old ways at our peril."
François Ozon's Water Drops on Burning Rocks is the Belgian director's adaptation of a play by the young Rainer Werner Fassbinder. It tells a vinegary story of Leopold (Bernard Giraudeau), an ice-blooded bourgeois man who eventually keeps three lovers on retainer. First in his harem is his pining, pale young boyfriend Franz (Malik Zidi). Later, Franz is joined by his stacked-up and round-heeled ex-girlfriend Anna (Ludivine Sagnier), accustomed to running around in her blue underwear. Finally, the ménage is surprised by Leopold's estranged wife, Véra (Anna Thomas), on the brink of suicide from neglect. The acrid couplings and quadruplings all take place in Leopold's apartment, with no outside world seen, during the course of a year. The natural pressure of this film, a play without exteriors, adds to the keen, bitter comedy.
Farce is built to reinforce monogamy. This anti-farce supposes that anyone who has power in an emotional relationship will abuse it. Franz is demoted from attractive pickup to male hausfrau, waiting for the grumpy Leopold to deign to show up. Once his man returns, Franz gets his own back with bitchery--sulking, signing and playing the stereo too loud. Anna, who originally comes to retrieve her boyfriend, decides to stay when she sees how swank Leopold's place is.
The film sums up a viscerally authentic sense of 1970s malaise in the décor of Leopold's apartment. Seeing the furniture--grubby earth tones, thick woven materials and fake brick--you may start to itch up hives that haven't pestered you since the last time you were stuck at your parents' house. Mordant but never mopey, this work by the precocious 19-year-old Fassbinder exists in that anything-can-happen world of porn, without the hackneyed quality that ruins smut. Water Drops on Burning Rocks is sexy, but it's also a sensitive, graceful and outrageous little party.

"Excellent book!"
This was an excellent book, but I can't compare it to the print edition. This book is a continuation from "Shelter" so be sure to listen to that one first. I was disappointed there are no more Mickey Bolitar books in they series yet. Hopefully there will be more in the future
Mickey Bolitar
"Loved this book!"
I don't know becuase I haven't read the print version.
The plot has some very interesting turns. It made me want to keep listening even when I should have been doing other things!
I can't say because that would spoil the book for others.
Get this audiobook. You won't be disappointed!
"Loved this book!"
I loved this book and found it was hard to stop listening. Normally I only listen on my drive to and from work, but several times I listened when I was at home because I couldn't wait until the next day! The story continues in the second book "Seconds Away", so I would recommend getting both books. Definitely some unexpected twists

- Brief Synopsis:
- When the Sudanese civil war reaches his village in 1985, eleven-year-old Salva becomes separated from his family and must walk with other Dinka tribe members through southern Sudan, Ethiopia, and Kenya in search of safe haven. Based on the life of Salva Dut, who, after emigrating to America in 1996, began a project to dig water wells in Sudan.
- Long Synopsis:
- A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about a girl in Sudan in 2008 and a boy in Sudan in 1985. The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours' walk from her home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay. Enduring every hardship from loneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on to intersect with Nya's in an astonishing and moving way. Based on the life of Salva Dut, who, after emigrating to America in 1996, began a project to dig water wells in Sudan.

Shipping firm to pay $10.5 mln in US pollution case
BOSTON (Reuters) – A Hong Kong-based shipping company that
used a "magic pipe" to dump oil-contaminated sludge into the
Atlantic Ocean has pleaded guilty and will pay $10.5 million,
federal prosecutors said on Monday.
Announcing what his office said was the largest fine
involving deliberate pollution by a single ship, U.S. Attorney
Michael Sullivan said MSC Ship Management (Hong Kong) Ltd's MSC
Elena used a specially fitted steel pipe to funnel the 40 tons
of sludge and waste overboard.
"The defendant knowingly violated anti-pollution laws,
intentionally dumping oil-contaminated waste directly into the
ocean — and even went so far as to manufacture a so-called
'magic pipe' to accomplish the crime," Sullivan said.
The Coast Guard discovered the pipe during a routine
inspection in Boston Harbor this year.
MSC Ship Management, a privately-held company, pleaded
guilty to the charges and agreed to pay the $10 million fine
and $500,000 to support community service projects that offer
environmental education to mariners visiting or sailing from
Massachusetts ports.
Sullivan said he hoped the fine would send a strong message
to others who might try to break anti-pollution laws.

management's discussion and analysis
of financial condition and results of operations
Market Risk
We are exposed to various types of market risk in the normal course of business, including the impact of interest rate changes, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, changes in investment, equity and commodity prices and changes in corporate tax rates. We employ risk management strategies, which may include the use of a variety of derivatives including cross currency swaps, foreign currency and prepaid forwards and collars, interest rate and commodity swap agreements and interest rate locks. We do not hold derivatives for trading purposes.
It is our general policy to enter into interest rate, foreign currency and other derivative transactions only to the extent necessary to achieve our desired objectives in limiting our exposure to various market risks. Our objectives include maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rate debt to lower borrowing costs within reasonable risk parameters and to protect against earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from changes in market conditions. We do not hedge our market risk exposure in a manner that would completely eliminate the effect of changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates on our earnings. We do not expect that our net income, liquidity and cash flows will be materially affected by these risk management strategies.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily on our short-term debt and the portion of long-term debt that carries floating interest rates. As of December 31, 2011, more than three-fourths in aggregate principal amount of our total debt portfolio consisted of fixed rate indebtedness, including the effect of interest rate swap agreements designated as hedges. The impact of a 100 basis point change in interest rates affecting our floating rate debt would result in a change in annual interest expense, including our interest rate swap agreements that are designated as hedges, of approximately $0.1 billion. The interest rates on our existing long-term debt obligations are unaffected by changes to our credit ratings.
The table that follows summarizes the fair values of our long-term debt, including current maturities, and interest rate swap derivatives as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The table also provides a sensitivity analysis of the estimated fair values of these financial instruments assuming 100-basis-point upward and downward shifts in the yield curve. Our sensitivity analysis does not include the fair values of our commercial paper and bank loans, if any, because they are not significantly affected by changes in market interest rates.

Interest Rate Swaps
We have entered into domestic interest rate swaps to achieve a targeted mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We principally receive fixed rates and pay variable rates based on LIBOR, resulting in a net increase or decrease to Interest expense. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges and hedge against changes in the fair value of our debt portfolio. We record the interest rate swaps at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps due to changes in interest rates are recorded to Interest expense, which are offset by changes in the fair value of the debt. The fair value of these contracts was $0.6 billion at December 31, 2011 and $0.3 billion at December 31, 2010 and is primarily included in Other assets and Long-term debt. As of December 31, 2011, the total notional amount of these interest rate swaps was $7.0 billion.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for our foreign operations is primarily the local currency. The translation of income statement and balance sheet amounts of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars is recorded as cumulative translation adjustments, which are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recorded in the consolidated statements of income in Other income and (expense), net. At December 31, 2011, our primary translation exposure was to the British Pound Sterling, the Euro and the Australian Dollar.
Cross Currency Swaps
During 2008, Verizon Wireless entered into cross currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges to exchange approximately $2.4 billion of British Pound Sterling and Euro-denominated debt into U.S. dollars and to fix our future interest and principal payments in U.S. dollars, as well as mitigate the impact of foreign currency transaction gains or losses. During December 2011, we repaid $0.9 billion upon maturity for the €0.7 billion of 7.625% Verizon Wireless Notes. The settlement of the related cross currency swap did not have a material impact on our financial statements. The fair value of the outstanding swaps, primarily included in Other assets, was approximately $0.1 billion at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. During 2011, the pretax loss recognized in Other comprehensive income was not significant. During 2010, a pre-tax loss of $0.2 billion was recognized in Other comprehensive income. A portion of these gains and losses recognized in Other comprehensive income was reclassified to Other income and (expense), net to offset the related pretax foreign currency transaction gain or loss on the underlying debt obligations.

This bill related to state scholarships under Pennsylvania's Higher Education Scholarship Law. Current law states that a student is eligible for consideration for a scholarship if he is a graduate of or is attending an approved high school or is a recipient of a Commonwealth secondary school diploma. This bill, as amended on November 2, 2005, would have added the option of the student having been accepted into an approved institution. Thus, regardless of what type of diploma a homeschool student might have, or even if the student had no diploma, the student would have been eligible for scholarship consideration if the student had been accepted into college.

Disney's Zorro on DVD: Season 1 Season 2
Zorro: The Complete First Season DVD Review
Buy from Amazon.com Buy Season 2 from Amazon.com
Walt Disney entered the realm of regularly-scheduled television in 1954 with the one-hour weekly anthology series "Disneyland." A way to fund the opening of the Anaheim theme park and a forum for showing past films and advertising new ones, "Disneyland" became a hit when its original Davy Crockett adventures inspired a national craze. Disney's third television series came in 1957 and it offered something both similar and different: similar in that the production was launched with ambition and appeal, different in that it was an entirely original show void of direct addresses as well as recycled and promotional bits. "Zorro" came to ABC as pure primetime programming. A half-hour drama is practically unheard of today, but it was commonplace in the 1950s, when most westerns ran as long as their prevalent company of sitcoms and game shows. In its 8 PM Thursday slot, "Zorro" ran in between "Circus Boy" and "The Real McCoys" and across from CBS' "Harbourmaster" and NBC's "You Bet Your Life."
While lacking an historical basis, "Zorro" was made in the mold of the Davy Crockett tales and Frontierland sagas yet to come, opening with a folksy choral theme song and centering on a crusader for the people in yesteryear America. The setting here is 1820 Spanish California. Thirty years before the area would become part of the United States, military law is in effect, but crime and corruption are widespread.
Falling short of his father's expectations, Don Diego de la Vega (Guy Williams, later of "Lost in Space") returns home from three years in Spain a scholar who appreciates classic literature and making music. At least that is the mild-mannered, unsuspecting persona Diego publicly maintains. In truth, this young man is as concerned with justice and citizens' well-being as anyone in the pueblo of Los Angeles. When civil action fails (and it always does), Diego breaks out his black cowl mask, hat, and cape to transform into Zorro. With a name that in Spanish means "fox", Zorro is a cunning hero who fights for the oppressed, often against the unjust powers that be. Initially, Diego/Zorro's double life is known only by his mute confidant and occasional sidekick Bernardo (Gene Sheldon), who poses as Diego's deaf manservant and whose secret hearing abilities prove invaluable. Bernardo is not only one of three characters who maintains a full-time presence on the series, he is also one of the two leading sources of comic relief, the existence of which grants "Zorro" a lighter tone than Frontierland dramas like those of Davy Crockett and the Swamp Fox. Gene Sheldon, a pantomimist for much of his career, mimes to Zorro as Bernardo, his hand gestures punctuated by "Mickey Moused" score.
The other source of comedy is Henry Calvin, who plays Sergeant Garcia. Big, fat, slow-witted, and gullible, Garcia is an endearing and evidently harmless figure despite his law enforcement position technically being at odds with Zorro's interests. Calvin, who would co-star with Sheldon in Toby Tyler and as bumbling henchmen in Babes in Toyland, takes a broad approach, but it is the right kind of broad, which amuses without upstaging or taking you out of the fictional universe.
A genuine threat is posed by Zorro's first nemesis and Garcia's superior, Comandante Monastario (Britt Lomond). Second-billed in the thirteen episodes he appears, the tough Capitan is a formidable foe bent on capturing the masked one who opposes his corrupt practices. In many ways, Monastario is the show's original protagonist, his actions yielding reactions from Diego/Zorro. Sticking around much longer than Monastario but never claiming as much power or interest is Diego's wealthy, respected father Don Alejandro (George J. Lewis), who wishes his son was more like Zorro and fought injustice more proactively (little does he know...). And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Tornado (Spanish pronunciation), the speedy, faithful black horse who transports Zorro to and from the action.
"Zorro" is old-fashioned hero/villain adventure. Shades of gray are much more noticeable in the visuals than characters, but it is compelling all the same thanks largely to the distinctive lead characters and actors. The first season appears to aspire to three firm, even arcs, but only the first 13 episodes truly play that way. After showing us the ongoing battle of wits between Diego and Monastario, the show suddenly dismisses the previously integral villain. Then, a mysterious conspiracy involving eagle's feathers is introduced. Perhaps partly because the looming street date pushed me through them at a faster than ideal rate, the show seemed to flag in its second arc. Following the flashy Monastario, the bland, secretive Magistrado Galindo (Vinton Hayworth) does not make for compelling opposition.
The eagle conspiracy continues beyond episode 26, Magistrado's last, and strengthens. A less cut-and-dry foe emerges when a new comidante's wife (Suzanne Lloyd) briefly seizes the foreground in her husband's absence. "Zorro" also takes a break from its main serialized plot for four episodes depicting the mischief created by a visiting stranger (Kent Taylor). Bringing the eagle conspiracy to a close in the season's final few episodes, "Zorro" gets about as exciting as ever.
While a little more effort is needed to stay invested here than on most of the today's programming, there is far more charm and skill to appreciate on "Zorro". What is fairly amazing is that the show isn't repetitive. Using a limited cast, narrow story ground, and a design that calls for at least some Zorro swordplay action in every episode, the show proves itself creative within those confines and not particularly tedious. One can tell that many of the hundreds of Zorro stories that his creator, pulp writer Johnston McCulley penned from 1919 to his 1958 death, are never touched. And yet the cautious treatment of intimate mysteries, while regularly invoking duplicity and multiplicity, rarely feel tired or drawn-out.
The series became Disney's third success in three attempts, earning more than the one-third of television audience that the 3-network system suggested. It was renewed for a second season and its viewership grew, but almost forty years before they became one and the same, Disney and ABC fought over the rights to Walt's television programs. With the legal battle growing bitter, "Zorro" became a casualty. "Zorro" did enter syndication in 1965, where it would maintain a presence for a long time to come. Before that, episodes of the show had been compiled into feature film form in 1958's The Sign of Zorro. The project's success overseas (where the show hadn't yet aired) inspired a second such movie in the foreign market release Zorro, the Avenger (1959). On the heels of the 1981 George Hamilton comedy Zorro, The Gay Blade and a Filmation Saturday morning cartoon, Disney returned to the world for the limited CBS sitcom "Zorro and Son." While Guy Williams was supposed to reprise his famous eponymous role as the hero slowed down with age, he backed out and without him, the show ran for just five episodes in the spring of 1983. (Sadly, the DVD makes no reference to this short-lived sequel show.) The original "Zorro" would live on in Disney Channel reruns, when the cable network celebrated the company's legacy with a "Vault Disney" programming block.
While the original series was only in production for less than three years, a substantial amount of content was created in this time. There were no reruns and no preemptions. "Zorro" ran for 39 consecutive weeks, from the middle of October to the beginning of July, for two years in a row. Today's half-hour shows run about 21 minutes sans commercials. Back in 1957-58, only four minutes and change went to ads. Some would fit in the one noticeable act-break fadeout found at the center of each show. Each episode ends with a short preview of the next.
Clearly, that makes The Complete First Season of "Zorro" an unusual choice for Walt Disney Treasures treatment. Launched in 2001, this annual series of limited edition tins has wooed collectors by bestowing satisfying restorations and fancy packages upon vintage animated shorts and 1950s and '60s TV programming. While "Zorro" squarely fits the latter bill, it does so with so much more material than would fit on two DVDs, the line's fixed disc count. Fortunately, rather than just including certain episodes, as was done for "The Mickey Mouse Club" and the Elfego Baca and Swamp Fox anthology miniseries, Disney has put out the entire "Zorro" run in two six-disc sets. The Season 1 and Season 2 sets arrive with thrice the content of past Treasures and yet less than double the list price.
Another difference between this and previous Walt Disney Treasures subjects is that "Zorro" has already been made available. Alas, box sets released in Europe's Region 2 as early as 2004 were in the PAL format and unplayable for most North American customers. The diehard Disney fan demographic did, however, have a chance to buy Region 1 versions of the season sets, as they were issued as Disney Movie Club exclusives and later redeemable as Disney Movie Rewards. However, those 5-disc sets not only lacked the four hour-long episodes and bonus features, they also presented the show in its colorized form, as was sometimes shown on the Disney Channel. "Zorro" was not filmed in color or widescreen as certain "Disneyland" anthology series were. Thus, the Treasures DVDs present the show in its intended black and white format.

Division of labor—identifying which people on the team perform which tasks
Training for the functions each team member routinely performs
Effective communication (e.g., minute-to-minute communication through brief verbal interactions among team members)
How these characteristics play out in the care of patients on drug therapy can be illustrated by the example of anticoagulation therapy with warfarin. Such therapy is risky, for example, because of the possibility of bleeding due to drug interactions and suboptimal dosing. Specialized anticoagulation clinics employ a team approach to optimize the treatment (Ansell et al., 1997). Such an approach can help achieve improvements in anticoagulation control (Samsa et al., 2000) and reductions in bleeding and thromboembolic event rates (Chiquette et al., 1998; Hamby et al., 2000). One measurable outcome for patients on warfarin therapy is whether the level of anticoagulation has been maintained within the target therapeutic range at least 80 percent of the time, so as to reduce the risk of bleeding and provide optimal therapeutic benefit. Accordingly, key features of effective warfarin therapy teams are as follows:
A clinical system with a set of procedures for informing patients of laboratory results and of any needed changes in the warfarin dose.
An administrative system with procedures for scheduling the next laboratory test and notifying the nurse and scheduler when a patient does not present for the test.
Adequate training of each team member in the specific functions each must perform. For example, the nurse or pharmacist managing the care of patients on warfarin must be trained in the use of protocols and computer programs for dosing and monitoring of the therapy, as well as in surveillance for important drug interactions.
Communication structures for promptly conveying information to the physician when there is a need for decisions regarding response to a warfarin-related bleeding event or complex dosing and monitoring decisions not encompassed by the usual protocols.
It is important to note that despite the potential benefits of multidisciplinary approaches and their increasing use in the care of patients with a variety of medical conditions, such approaches have not always proven to be more effective than conventional care (Matchar et al., 2002; Strom and Hennessy, 2002). Furthermore, multidisciplinary teams are used most commonly in care for a single medical condition or management of a single type of therapy. Care provided by several different multidisciplinary teams may not be the optimum way to care for patients with multiple chronic medical

In this dissertation's study of virtual reality (VR), I focus my attention on two prominent types of VR: real virtualities and virtual realities. I argue that both are composed of performative acts of spatial production and that through the study of those acts, researchers can isolate and describe the difference between these two tropes of virtual reality. My thesis focuses on Henri Lefebvre's theorisation of social space as the most detailed and appropriate spatial theory for such a process while Victor Turner's liminal theory of social and ritual performance provides the necessary performative methodology to complement Lefebvre's. My use of these theories allows researchers to identify the difference between social spaces that produce new spaces and practices, and those which reinforce the spatial paradigm that generated them. The process of identifying these differences further clarifies Lefebvre's complicated description of social space, but it also provides a platform for researchers to distinguish between the two different types of virtual reality. Through a detailed examination of three ostensibly different examples of VR, I argue that virtual realities ought to be considered primarily as realities made virtual while real virtualities should be discussed as virtualities made real. In doing so this thesis advances the study and application of Lefebvrean thought whilst opening up new directions for virtuality studies. I have chosen to explore three case studies that, through their difference, foreground their spatial and performative nature. By focusing on distinctly different and atypical case studies, I highlight the methodology described in this project and its suitability (or otherwise) for discussing VR. Focusing firstly on Google, I explore the virtual reality of the World Wide Web, perhaps the most ubiquitous example of a virtual reality. The sheer pervasiveness, uptake and constant evolution of the World Wide Web means that it requires constant academic attention. Google is the page through which a staggering 53.3% of Web users access the Internet and to say that most people are actually browsing Google's web instead of the actual web is by no means an under statement. Google, like all other search engines, has its own formula for determining results and rankings for search queries. Google is not, as many people would like to think, an objective map of the Internet. It relies so heavily on users' data in relation to their search query (which pages they click on, how long they spend there, whether they click back) that apart from the virtual algorithms that it uses to articulate the process Google could be said to be constituted solely by the real world practices of its users. Secondly I explore an example of the other type of VR, a real virtuality. Though the Gothic cathedral may not traditionally fall under the rubric of virtuality studies, the building itself provides an excellent example of the interaction of space and performance required to bring into existence that which was not there before. The Gothic cathedral is a concrete resolution of the actual/virtual dialectic and provides a unique opportunity to test my methodology's ability to describe both types of VR and highlight the distinction between them. Whereas much of what constitutes virtuality studies centres on what I am calling the virtualisation of reality (online chat rooms, virtual banking, etc) – spaces that represent virtual others of real world entities, the Gothic cathedral represents the reverse of this: the realisation of a virtuality. The Gothic cathedral is unique in the context of this thesis for it is first and foremost a physical building rather than an onscreen other. It is a real virtuality in this thesis because, while concrete, there are some aspects of its reality that remain essential rather than formal and are dependent upon parishioners' performance in order to be made 'real.' The final case study of this project represents the future usefulness of my methodology. In following up the work on exploring the suitability of describing a Gothic cathedral alongside Google, the last chapter of my dissertation explores the suitability of describing theatrical space as a VR. Similar to the Google chapter, this chapter focuses on a digital VR tool recently developed by Joanne Tompkins at the University of Queensland called the Online Theatre Project. The Online Theatre Project (OTP) represents a unique approach to the documentation, digital conceptualisation and archival problems that present themselves to a working theatre company in its everyday practice. The OTP is a server-based modeling and archival tool that allows users to draw, model and design their theatre production in real-time and then house their data on a remotely accessible server. Any notional description of theatrical space is necessarily a slippery one, given the relative youth of such studies and this project positions itself in this ever evolving debate by suggesting that the Online Theatre Project actually provides a description of what theatrical space entails where others have not. This thesis argues that VR space is dependent upon a constant spatial and performative production process. It illustrates how Lefebvre's conceptualisation of the production process is most suitable for describing that production process and argues that re-imagining Lefebvre's definition with the assistance of Turner's everyday performative theory of liminality affords researchers the chance to differentiate between real virtualities and virtual realities. In doing so this thesis advances the study of VR, by proving that it is possible to discuss such complicated subjects in spatial and performative terms instead of the dominant real or un-real ones. Further, I outline the necessary adaptation of Lefebvre's spatial triad that can be undertaken to prove its usefulness in many other aspects of VR studies.

H1N1 Flu Update -- Oct. 6, 2009
Posted Oct, 6, 2009University Health Services has confirmed two more cases of H1N1 flu this week, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to three. None of the three students confirmed with H1N1 flu live on campus, and none of the three identified are connected.
In accordance with guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), University Health Services will no longer be testing specifically for H1N1 flu now that we know it is here. University Health Services will continue to test for type A flu virus. If a person tests positive for type A, the health center will assume this person has H1N1 flu and treat them accordingly.
We again remind you to be extra diligent about washing your hands and covering your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough. Please take advantage of the hand-washing stations found in university buildings and residence halls. We also encourage you to get a seasonal flu shot, either at a university-sponsored flu clinic, from your primary care physician or at your local retail pharmacy.
If you get sick with flu-like symptoms this flu season, you should stay home and avoid contact with other people except to get medical care. Most people with 2009 H1N1 flu have had mild illness and have not needed medical care or antiviral drugs. The same is true of seasonal flu.
Please continue to check this Web site for information and updates concerning seasonal and H1N1 flu.

Combat Zones That See
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Combat Zones That See, or CTS, is a project of the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) [1] whose goal is to "track everything that moves" in a city by linking up a massive network of surveillance cameras to a centralised computer system.[2] Artificial intelligence software will then identify and track all movement throughout the city.[3]
CTS is described by DARPA as intended for use in combat zones, to deter enemy attacks on United States troops and to identify and track enemy combatants who launch attacks against U.S. soldiers.[2]
Civil liberties activists and writers of dystopian fiction believe that such programs have great potential for privacy violations, and have openly opposed the project.[2][4][5]

Comparative pharmacokinetic study of oral and rectal formulations of artesunic acid in healthy volunteers. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 9754985 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVE: A single cross-over, comparative pharmacokinetic study of oral and rectal formulations of 200 mg artesunic acid in 12 healthy Malaysian volunteers is reported. METHODS: Plasma concentrations of artesunic acid and dihydroartemisinin were determined simultaneously by HPLC with electrochemical detection. The test drug was well tolerated and no undesirable adverse effects were observed. RESULTS: Comparison of pharmacokinetic parameters of artesunic acid after oral and rectal administration showed statistically significant differences in t(max) and AUC, with no changes for Cmax and t1/2. As for dihydroartemisinin, differences were observed for t(max) and Cmax but not for AUC. CONCLUSION: There appear to be pharmacokinetic differences between oral and rectal modes of administration. The significance of these findings should be explored in malaria patients before appropriate therapeutic regimens are devised. |

Main Sail Shape
To some extent it depends on the boat and the conditions of your sails but the most effective way to blade out (flatten) the mainsail you would tighten the main halyard, outhaul, and mainsheet and lower the traveller to leeward. Flattening the sail greatly extends the range of the sail before you need to reef. There are of course limits as to how much you can extend the range before reefing is necessary or simply more comfortable.
How effective flattening the sail turns out to be depends also how easy to use and conveniently located your hardware is, and the conditions of the sail. I don''t know if you are still sailing with the original sail that came with the boat but I would guess that you probably are. Over time sails stretch and sails get more stretchy. In a gust and older sail will increase in depth and automatically power up just when you would like them to flatten.
Easing the sheet can help keep a boat on its feet but initially easing the sheet powers up the sail and so increases heeling and weather helm. Easing the helm eventually does reduce weather helm but at the price of pointing ability and speed.
Also you really don''t have the some of the newer or higher performance options such as controling mast bend, which is probably the most effective way to quickly blade out a sail in a gust.

One of DERMAdoctor's most popular products is KP Duty, a treatment cream designed to improve a skin disorder known as keratosis pilaris. More commonly known as KP or chicken skin, this disorder is characterized by a swath of pink to red, raised bumps dotting the upper arms and thighs of many people. It's a benign condition but one many find unsightly. Although there isn't a cure for KP, gentle cleansing, disinfecting with benzoyl peroxide, and exfoliating with a well-formulated AHA or BHA product can make a remarkable difference in the severity and appearance of these bumps. That's one of the reasons we rated DERMAdoctor's original KP Duty product highly (and it's worth mentioning Paula's Choice offers treatments for this condition, which cost less than what DERMAdoctor charges).
The backstory above was necessary because KP Duty Intensive Priming Serum is meant to be applied before the company's original KP Duty treatment, with the goal being to further reduce redness and inflammation. To that end, this lightweight serum contains several anti-irritants along with some good skin-repairing ingredients and antioxidants. The tiny amount of glycolic acid isn't enough to promote exfoliation, but if you're using another AHA (or BHA, which many find preferable for KP), exfoliant this isn't an issue.
The major problem we have with this product is the price: Assuming someone with KP will be using it on affected areas, one ounce of this product isn't going to last long if applied daily to arms and legs. For certain, this isn't a product that will offer much if any improvement for KP, especially not when compared to many other well-formulated body products that cost a lot less.
Contains 11 agents to remedy the redness and pink polka dots associated with irritated dry skin and Keratosis Pilaris. It preps skin to accelerate the effects of KP Duty moisturizing therapy.

DERMAdoctor At-a-Glance
Strengths: Company provides complete product ingredient lists on its Web site; well formulated AHA products; sunscreens provide critical broad-spectrum protection, good oil-control product; a couple of great, though pricey, cleansers.
Weaknesses: Expensive; mostly poor anti-acne products; anti-wrinkle products making imossible claims; clinical studies alluded to are not made available to the public (which is odd, given that this is a brand fronted by a dermatologist); some product formulas suffer due to jar packaging.
The DERMAdoctor line is the brainchild of Kansas City-based dermatologist Dr. Audrey Kunin. Dr. Kunin's Web site retails not only the DERMAdoctor brand but several products from other brands, many of which have ties to specific dermatologic concerns (everything from athlete's foot to warts). Many of these specialty products are available from your local drugstore, but Kunin's site provides helpful, mostly reliable information concerning various skin-care concerns.
We wish her own products followed the strength of her advice, but alas, most do not. This is another dermatologist-developed line with plenty of products whose names and claims make you think they're a cosmetic corrective procedure in a bottle (or, in some cases, a jar, which is never a good packaging move). There are some products to pay attention to, though whether you want to strongly consider them or not comes down to how much you feel comfortable spending (DERMAdoctor products aren't cheap).
DERMAdoctor isn't exactly "your prescription for beautiful skin" but Dr. Kunin gets enough right that her line isn't one to gloss over, particularly if you're shopping for sunscreens, AHA products, and facial cleansers. Those with acne should look elsewhere, because DERMAdoctor's products don't have the solution, despite their cute product names.

I met a DERMAdoctor rep at a Sephora once. She was nice and explained that despite exfoliating, I'd always have red dots left on my arms. Which was consistent with what I saw. She said the job of this serum was to eliminate those. I gave it a shot, but saw no change in the red dots on my arms. I used this with and without the scrub, no difference. I would sometimes see a slight change, but it was short lived. MUCH better results using Paula's Body Treatment with BHA.

Bruticus is a bit awkward for me to do since he barely fits in my light box, never mind fitting anyone in there with him. But I'll add it to the to-do list for the holiday break.
I can't tell if they're out in stores, or just online. >.< Anyway, I LOVE this guy. I just wish his arms were a bit beefier. And that his wings folded straight backwards like in-game. Do they?! *hunts through gallery* |
that's understandable. he is quite large. nice pics btw. makes me want Screamer even more
EDIT: also, where'd you get a coronation that fits him? |
And they say they keep shrinking. |
Yep, this mold is a winner. And the comparison shot just shows you how badly we needed this figure. The classics Seeker mold is awful. I sold all mine as soon as I heard about them doing this guy. Even if it doesn't get official redecos as all of the original trio and coneheads, I'd rather do some naff custom jobs to create my own.
I love the classics seeker mold,it's not awful at all,one of my favorite tf molds ever.this Starscream is cool too though,actually I buy all Starscreams besides bayverse and animated.
I can't agree at all really. It bears a resemblance to the cartoon characters, no doubt. But its posability is poor for its age, the headsculpt is rubbish (doesn't really look like any of the Seekers much), the wings hinder posability even further, the null rays are too big... I could go on in minute details.
This thing beats the classics on posability and actually looking like the source material, can see that much already. |
MP-11 is the dead ringer. I agree that Classics head sculpt isn't a bad representation and is pretty close and I don't fault it, as its the rest of the figure that doesn't really meet today's standards, not the face, but its not absolutely accurate.
And they say they keep shrinking. |
