Transforming a Hospital...
Greater Baltimore Medical Center Teams with MEDITECH
to Become an Example of Clinical Excellence
Greater Baltimore Medical Center (Baltimore, MD) has embarked upon an ambitious plan to use MEDITECH's Advanced Clinical System in an effort to transform its care practices and become a leading example of health care excellence in Maryland. "As the third largest community hospital in the state, we look forward to taking on a more visible role in our region, and MEDITECH's Advanced Clinical System is a central component in our plan," says Mike Hebrank, CIO and vice president at Greater Baltimore. "This new information system isn't a simple change of clothes, it's part of a larger strategy to completely improve and transform our entire hospital environment."
Greater Baltimore will implement its MEDITECH software in phases, starting with implementing the new platform, followed by laying the groundwork for the Advanced Clinical System and CPOE, and finally introducing new features that will drastically change the way clinicians deliver care. Hebrank believes a richer array of functionality will now be available to staff since the hospital will be running one integrated system. "For example, we didn't have a Master Patient Index (MPI) before, and having one will help us stay connected to our outside practices," he explains.
"Once we are up to full on-line functionality, the system will be a real plus for us," states Jody Porter, VP Nursing at Greater Baltimore. "We are looking forward to having safety triggers and automated order sets. We see this new installation as being a big opportunity for improvement."
The hospital has also decided to implement MEDITECH's Laboratory Information System (LIS). "The integration between the LIS with Pharmacy and physician ordering will greatly enhance patient safety," says Robert Palermo, MD, director of Laboratory and chief pathologist at Greater Baltimore. "Other MEDITECH sites we spoke with had arrived at a similar conclusion about their LIS."
Vendor Selection: Key Stakeholders Establish Priorities
During the vendor selection process, the hospital organized key "stakeholders," including staff, directors of the hospital departments, and VPs, and asked them to list business and clinical objectives. The vendors would be evaluated according to the lists, explains Hebrank. "We stressed that this would not be a typical selection process, that we would be focused not only on functionality, but also on each solution's ability to meet certain objectives. For instance, one of our objectives in the IT department was that the new system should cut IT costs without compromising delivery of service."
Eventually, Greater Baltimore's steering committee pared a list of eight vendors down to two. "We immediately eliminated the first four based on our original consensus that we would only select among the vendors who provide a complete HIS," explains Hebrank. "Best-of-breed solutions have a lot of 'gaps' since they are not able to provide a single solution. Interfaces can be misleading because the applications may share data, but they don't share processes. They're costly, difficult to put in place, and create disparity among departments and disciplines. We wanted an integrated approach to save us from the hassle of supporting expensive interfaces required to run best-of-breed solutions."
The evaluation process finally came down to MEDITECH and Greater Baltimore's incumbent vendor, which the site had been using for approximately eight years. The committee deemed that the incumbent vendor was "neither highly integrated nor cost effective, and we knew if we stayed with them, some things would have to change, including a mandatory upgrade to the next platform," according to Hebrank.
In contrast, MEDITECH offered a very different model. "MEDITECH was proposing a fully integrated system with a sound business model behind it. It's a system that offers a good value proposition for hospitals, and MEDITECH is one of the top three vendors in terms of installed customer base, with a long track record of growth and success," explains Hebrank.
A Clear Picture for the Years Ahead
Greater Baltimore's plan is clearly mapped out. Hebrank says that much of the energy behind the first implementation phase will involve preparing for MEDITECH's Patient Care System. "Our nursing staff will be getting used to certain process changes, before they even touch the new software. We will be training the nurses in a paper environment first, by printing some of the templates from the system onto paper," he says. "Then, we'll train staff on the actual system just before going LIVE with the application."
The second implementation phase will include the implementation of more advanced Patient Care System features, as well as physician ordering and Bedside Medication Verification, a solution that pairs bar coding technology with medication administration. "We will also be working quite a bit with physicians, creating order sets, during this phase," says Hebrank. "By year three, we will implement the full CPOE and Nursing documentation."
Greater Baltimore's far-reaching strategy also greatly influenced the hospital's Laboratory department. According to Dr. Palermo, replacing their 15-year old LIS was not a priority in the beginning, but the medical center came to see the value MEDITECH could provide there as well. We came to understand that MEDITECH could provide an economical solution, and the sharing of information would lead to better clinical decision making," says Dr. Palermo. "When we began thinking of the organization as a whole, the decision to purchase MEDITECH's LIS was unanimous."
Hebrank notes that the key to getting such a large project off the ground is having significant buy-in from all levels of the organization, including the nurses and physicians. "Our entire hospital is extremely excited about implementing our new strategy," he concludes.
Howard Messing, MEDITECH's President and COO, echoes this sentiment, noting that Greater Baltimore will gain strategic advantage by using MEDITECHs system to support the delivery of high quality patient care. We are excited to partner with Greater Baltimore and support their mission of becoming a premier site for clinical excellence," he says.

Figure skating meets reality TV
MASHANTUCKET, Conn. -- Figure skating has never been short on storylines, tension or skimpy outfits. In other words, it's made for reality TV.
And in the span of just two nights, ABC hopes to pack its "Thin Ice" skating special with a season's worth of drama.
"'Dancing with the Stars,' 'So You Think You Can Dance,' those shows are just wildly popular," "Thin Ice" judge (and DWTS winner) Kristi Yamaguchi said. "I think the elements that make those shows popular is something skating absolutely has."
It was just a matter of finding a way to tap into it.
"Thin Ice," which begins Friday, brings together 10 of the world's top professional skaters (from singles, pairs and ice dancing) to face off in a couples competition with a total of $220,000 on the line. The catch -- because with reality TV, there's always a catch -- is that competitors are paired with new partners, performing to everything from Lady Gaga to Ne-Yo.
Beyond that, literally the only guidelines skaters and their choreographers -- a group that includes celebrity choreographer Fatima Robinson, Yamaguchi's "Dancing with the Stars" partner Mark Ballas and hip-hop choreographer Hi-Hat -- were given by "Thin Ice" executive producer Terry O'Neill was "Entertain us." Defining what ranks as entertaining is going to be the challenge, skating legend and "Thin Ice" judge Dick Button said. But it's one Button, likely much to the fans' delight, is ready to take head on.
"It would be very unfair for one of us judges to just go, 'Ooh, ooh, it was lovely, you're my good friend and I love you,'" Button said. "Uh-uh, that ain't the name of the game. As a judge, you have to be willing to state your opinions.
"And unfortunately, I do that too often."
The scoring from the judges (Olympic gold medalist Katarina Witt joins Yamaguchi and Button) will count for 50 percent, while viewer and audience votes will comprise the other half. The latter is what sets this competition apart from previous skating events.
"It's putting a number to the applause," skater John Zimmerman said. "That will be interesting to see how that compares to the judges' scores. If you look at the [reality] shows that are long lasting, the audience has an impact."
For 2002 Olympic gold medalists Jamie Sale and David Pelletier (pairs) and two-time world silver medalists Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon (ice dancing), taking part in "Thin Ice" means not only giving up their on-ice partners, but taking a break from skating with their spouses. Sale and Lauzon are skating together while Dubreuil is skating with U.S. singles skater Michael Weiss and Pelletier is skating with Elena Berezhnaya. (If you feel like you need a flow chart to keep it all straight, you're likely not alone.)
The key is setting oneself apart from the competition -- be it through technical elements like jumps and spins, choreography or good old-fashioned type-casting.
"We're totally the underdogs," Pelletier said, already practicing his pitch. "We live at the other ends of the world. We didn't have a chance to meet until like two weeks ago on the ice. She has two children. I have one child. I just lost my pregnancy weight. We are in for a tough time."
It might almost sound like a convincing plea if you didn't know that between him and his partner, they have three world titles and two Olympic gold medals.
Lauzon, who like Pelletier is skating against his wife, is simply relying on the time-tested reality show staple, the alliance.
"One way or another, [the prize money] still goes in the same bank account," he said.
Part 1 of "Thin Ice" airs Friday at 8 p.m. on ABC and will feature a special performance by Vancouver bronze medalist Joannie Rochette. Fan voting opens at the start of the show and ends Saturday at noon. The special concludes Sunday at 7 p.m.

My wife wouldn't step foot on my boat but now....
Things are different. This last weekend, I put her at the helm and took my time helping her get used to the fact that ya push left to turn right etc. We then did some MOB drills which, by the way, where a blast and the stated reason for her driving. By the end of the day she was gybing by herself with no help from me while I was the galley slave making some lunch. When the wind picked up and we started upwind (where this boat likes to fly) she handed the helm back, not quite ready to run the boat on the ragged edge with 20* of heel. Now she can't wait to get back out there and go sailing. The thing I've found about teaching the wife something is to keep it light and conversational, don't stress or holler when she forgets to come on course when gybing or tacking 'cause she's still adjusting the sails, just get a good laugh going over it. Matter of fact, while I was in the cabin, she called out saying another sailboat had turned parallel to us when she did and she wasn't sure who had the right of way. I popped my head out, looked at the boat to Leeward and told her they did. When she asked what to do I just told her to duck behind them and come back up on the other side. That she did just fine, while I went back into the cabin. Who else has taught or attempted to teach their SO how to drive and sail their boat?

With the departure of Tom & Liza it was clear that the house would be a lot quieter. The overall mood in the house was lighter and after the night the houseguests had, all they wanted to do was kickback, relax and get drunk! Big Brother treated the houseguest with wine & beer and before they knew it the houseguests had completely forgotten about Tom or Liza and were in deep in a game of spin the bottle. To sum it all up Andrew pretty much made out with every single houseguest, with the acceptation of Alec, Emmett & Peter.
For tonight's Head of Household competition houseguests were playing for a lot more than just safety. In addition to winning HOH, an addition $10 000 was up for grabs as well as a brand new 2013 Chevrolet Trax. Mama needs a new car!! Each player had to make their way through a maze that had a series of checkpoints. At each checkpoint houseguests found themselves at a historical part of Canada that had a series of numbers. Houseguests had to memorize the first number of the 4 checkpoints and make there way out of the maze. Once out they then had to say the numbers out loud, which unlocked a key to the car; their time would stop when they honked the horn of the car. Obviously the player with the fastest time would be the winner. For the most part the houseguests did pretty well; there were some that knew exactly what they were doing and cruised on through and others that had a more difficult time. Talla nearly left the game entirely as she let her emotions get the best of her during this challenge. She misunderstood the instructions and was saying 2 numbers extra. She did have the correct order, however because she was adding in the extra numbers, Big Brother could not unlock the key for her. She eventually got so frustrated she quit the challenge. Nevertheless it came down to a 17 second difference between Jillian and Alec, in which Alec was 17 seconds faster, and he became the new Head of Household!
Last night was Big Brother Canada's first double eviction. Arisa Cox dove straight into the night's events and the votes for the first eviction we casted. But before the eviction ceremony began we were shown a very emotional Alec dealing with a major issue caused by Tom. Post Veto Ceremony Tom approached Alec in the showers and swung the door open completely flashing the live feeders while Alec was showering. Although this was an entertaining show for us at home, Alec wasn't so amused. After the incident Alec was worried, and nervous about what kind of images were out there now. To be honest I didn't get what the big deal was. Never-mind he walks around without a shirt 99% of the time and it's not like his sweat pants do a good job at covering him up. Not that I'm complaining but to me he was being extremely overdramatic. He started crying and went as far as plea with producers not to let the images out. This prompted Topaz to scream and stir up a storm with Tom and even Tom started crying reflecting on what he did. Cry me a river, you knew what you signed up for and we at home could use a shlong or two to keep us awake.
As for the voting, it was not shocking, and the house made a wise decision. The votes were as follows…
Leaving Gary's nominations ceremony, Tom was beyond livid. He remained controlled by his emotions and that is why the "Quatro Alliance" do not fully trust him. Emmett reluctantly revealed that it was him that gave Gary the O.K to nominate Tom & Liza. Tom was completely blindsided by this but really Tom? I mean you stomp around the house with a club in one hand and a fire hose in the other. He's the most unpredictable and childish player in the game. The only houseguest that truly likes him is Liza who I thought was only using him until he was expendable. Even though Tom is on the block as well he tried to keep both himself and Liza safe this week. He told her he feels so betrayed that he can't stay in the game and he wants her to continue on. This act of kindness plucks on Liza's heartstrings and she is deeply touched by his knight in shining armor bit. I'll admit from her perspective his actions seem quite heroic however; it doesn't make up for the fact that he is the house Neanderthal.
For an extra jab at the Have Not's, Canada awarded the Have's of the week at spa day at the expense of the Have Not's. All Have's were treated with massages and pedicures, performed by the Have Not's. Suzette was in heaven with the stunning Alec at her toes and ofcourse Gary ended up with Emmett as his masseuse. Funniest line of the night came from Gary, "Emmett I'm black, my feet are white! You didn't rub the lotion in!"
Where do I begin? Last nights episode was jam packed with twists, turns and blindsides! I didn't think them Canadians had it in them! The general theme in the house last night was that Liza is a snake, she is evil, manipulative, and she has alliances with the whole house. Emmett being the new HOH he had his sights set on Liza. He wants her out of the picture so that his It's no secret both Liza & Emmett share a rivalry for Tom's attention. I'm just wonder why it's Tom of all people…
It's been about 23 days in the Big Brother house, and the houseguests have not seen outside people in almost a month. So you could image when the front doors opens they are all gasping for the fresh air and fresh faces. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, Big Brother had a small parade bring the Irish Festivities to the houseguests. There was a leprechaun, beer and a drunken idiot, the 3 major components of a good St. Patty's day. They weren't in the house for long, 235 seconds to be precise, but right after they left the houseguests were called into the living room by Big Brother. Big Brother informed the houseguests that 4 players during the past HOH competition broke the rules of the game. In the Bees Knee's competition, houseguests were only allowed to transfer balls using their knees, Alec, Jillian, Talla, and Emmett were the rule breakers. Although it was unintentional, Big Brother did not take it lightly. The most shocking move of the night was when Big Brother withdrew Emmett 's HOH status and announced the HOH was invalid. The 4 accused became the Have Not's for the week, and were not permitted to compete in the next HOH comp that happened moments after.
At the end of Wednesday's episode the overall mood of the house was slightly less chaotic. Suzette was coming to terms with her dawning eviction and AJ felt like the safest pawn in the history of Big Brother. His confidence was more than irritation as he continuously stated his only concern for eviction night was what to wear.
Tom's power trip continued & his showmance with Liza left the rest of the Quatro alliance with mixed feelings. Liza's strategy is to align herself with the guy in the house without each other knowing. Her plan only works if she gains the trust of them but so far it seems to be working. She's got Tom, Peter & now Andrew, however Tom's jealously has him setting his sights on Andrew. He even goes as far as to cuddle with Topaz in front of Liza to her jealous. Tom's increasing obsession with Liza is beginning to worry his alliance. Holding all the power this week, the Quatro alliance looks to him for important game moves. His mood swings are giving them whiplash & they want to remove Liza from the picture. Peter, being secretly allianed with Liza, warned her that her relationship with to Tom may be putting her in danger. Emmett and Alec don't trust her and want her gone to keep Tom's mind focused on the game.
With the tension growing between Suzette and Tom, Tom's fellow alliance members worry about his personal vendetta's clouding his judgment. The Shield Alliance, (Peter & Alex) that are also in the Quatro Alliance (Tom, Emmett, Alec, & Peter) are planning a huge game move that will send shockwaves through the house. Alec and Peter plan to win HOH next week, and nominate Aneal & Gary. When one of them wins the veto and removes themselves off the block, they will backdoor Tom. If this works it will be one of the best moves played all season, not to mention the smartest. Tom's arrogance has made him a huge target and sooner or later he has to go.
A blooming showmance seems to be ready just in time for spring with Peter & Liza. The curious couple appear incredibly interested in the others personality. The two they have nothing in common but agree that is what attracts them. At the same time well aware of the possible love triangle dilemma should Tom every find out. Liza states she'd never really date Tom outside of the house, and finds his behavior lately unpredictable and damaging on her game.
Wah Wah Wah! Immediately after Tom won Head of Household Suzette went into a fit in the pantry. She was squealing about people that are bullying her and how it's not fair because she isn't in a cuddlemance or an alliance. She put a huge target on her back after she went on about how she hates Tom and how Aneal is a liar. With some reassurance from Alec, she managed to compose herself.
Shortly after Suzette's blow up, houseguests were allowed to view Tom's HOH room. Inside we were shown a softer side of Tom, a side I was sure didn't exist. Canada learned of Tom's mothers continuous battle against breast cancer and I honestly believe he was genuine when he stated he doesn't behave like this outside the house. Pictures of his mom, dad and puppy confirmed to Liza that the stories of this sensitive Tom were true.
Last night's eviction finally had me at the edge of my seat. Prior to tonight's live vote Danielle believed that she was safe, however in the Big Brother house things aren't always what they seem. After the POV ceremony Danielle had second thoughts as offering herself as a pawn to evict Aneal. Aneal was sure he was the target and certain he would be leaving. He decided to approach the guys for a soft campaign to save himself.
The guys were dead set that Aneal had to go, they picked him as the leader of the girls and didn't want him turning their showmances against them. However Tom had other plans for Aneal. Tom pinned Danielle as the possible threat and wanted to nip any possibility of a girls alliance in the butt. He pitched this idea to alliance member Peter and he ran with it. They wanted to keep Aneal in the house in hopes that by saving him they would use his loyalty to control the vote. During this time Danielle played things too confident & her growing suspicion was clouded by her cockiness.

The 2005 renewable fuel standard – a law that requires gasoline refiners to add ethanol, an alcohol made primarily from corn, to the fuel mixture sold to consumers – has been a boon to farmers and the bane of owners of lawn mowers, chain saws, outboard motors and other small engines.
The 2005 renewable fuel standard – a law that requires gasoline refiners to add ethanol, an alcohol made primarily from corn, to the fuel mixture sold to consumers – has been a boon to farmers and the bane of owners of lawn mowers, chain saws, outboard motors and other small engines. It's almost as if the ethanol, after more than a few weeks in a gas can orweed trimmer, begins to turn into corn pudding, a gummy, gelatinous substance that fouls carburetors and, if the machines can be made to run at all, shortens engine life.
Big Corn and Big Oil are now battling over the fate of the law. The oil industry wants the ethanol requirement reduced or repealed altogether. The corn lobby wants to preserve the mandate, along with the hefty subsidies paid to producers of renewable fuels (up to 40 percent of the nation's corn crop is used for fuel).
We say: Leave it, change it or scrap it, but just give consumers a break and make it possible to buy gasoline that doesn't turn to goo.
Proponents of repeal call the ethanol requirement an expensive boondoggle with little or no environmental benefit, a mandate that drives up the cost of food and fuel. It may even be, as some contend, that it takes more energy to produce a gallon of ethanol than a gallon of gasoline. It certainly takes a lot more water in an age when water is being fought over. The other side sees ethanol from corn as a necessary step toward energy independence, one that reduces pollution by making engines burn cleaner.
Virtually all gasoline, as the labels on pumps warn, contains up to 10 percent ethanol, a limit that the Environmental Protection Agency recently raised to 15 percent if the fuel is burned in modern vehicles. Because E15 gasoline, as it's called, damages or destroys small engines, its use in them is banned. It's virtually impossible to buy bulk gasoline without ethanol, so mechanics and trade organizations like the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute recommend adding gas stabilizers and ethanol treatment additives to gas.
They also suggest storing for no more than a few weeks any gasoline slated for small-engine use. The unused fuel should then be dumped into the tank of a vehicle, where it will be diluted and burned in a bigger engine. How much gasoline winds up on the ground is anyone's guess. How much the ethanol mandate costs consumers in expensive fuel system replacements and shortened equipment life is something Congress should determine before voting to retain the ethanol requirement. Equipment owners who want to avoid malfunctions can purchase ethanol-free gasoline sold by some power equipment retailers. A quart goes for roughly the price of two gallons of gasoline.
The renewable fuel standard was well-meaning legislation rendered irrelevant by the rapid increase in fuel-efficiency standards and vehicle technology. Consumers are burning much less gas, while farmers – except during droughts – are producing more ethanol than refiners can safely mix with gasoline.
Page 2 of 2 - From our vantage point, far from the endless fields of Midwestern maize, running vehicles on food is not just a boondoggle but an environmental dead end. Millions of otherwise fallow acres have been ploughed up and put into corn to meet a government-created demand for a troublesome fuel most people would prefer not to buy.

Classic Pop.
Classic Pop.
Not one, not two.
Look at Pop man, going in on the Miami Heat, trolling them with a masterful "not one, not two, not three, not four.
He is one of the most accomplished coaches in NBA history, but Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is also one of the most entertaining.
This thing.
So remember last when year when Gregg Popovich embarrassed Doris Burke, gave her the "turnovers" line during the NBA Finals.
Gregg Popovich is especially angry tonight, more so than usual.

Reiteration of Requirement for Congressional Approval for Nuclear Testing
July 7, 2004, No. 92 During a brief exchange on the Senate floor during consideration of the National Defense Authorization Act, reassurance was sought and provided that future nuclear weapons testing requires the permission of Congress. The exchange occurred on June 23 between Robert Bennett (R-Utah), Jon Kyl (R-Arizona), and Carl Levin (D-Michigan).
Senate Authorizes Nuclear Weapons Research Initiatives
Few minds have changed in the Senate since last year's decision to support the Bush Administration's request to conduct research on "bunker buster" nuclear weapons and low-yield nuclear weapons. A June 15 attempt to deauthorize funding for both research programs failed by a vote of 42 "yes" to 55 "no," closely resembling the outcome in 2003.
Task Force Outlines Steps to Consolidate Nuclear Weapons Complex
Since the end of the Cold War there has been continuing discussion about whether structural changes in the Department of Energy's nuclear weapons complex are indicated. Later this year, the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board will consider a report recommending dramatic changes in the weapons complex. Comments will be solicited on the report before this meeting.
Hearings Demonstrate Little Enthusiasm for Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing
"This is not the best picture that we are having painted for us, and does cause a great amount of consternation."- Rep. Al Green (D-TX)
None of the witnesses at two different hearings held by the House Science Subcommittee on Energy had much enthusiasm about the federal government implementing a spent nuclear fuel reprocessing system in the near future. Concerns about the risks of nuclear proliferation and the high cost of reprocessing were cited repeatedly as reasons for the federal government to do further research before making any decision.
Despite Controversy, Nuclear Energy Poised for Comeback
There are clear signs from the Bush Administration, Congress, and the utility industry that nuclear energy is poised for a renaissance in the United States. While no nuclear plants have been built in the U.S. since the late 1970s, scores of nuclear plants have opened in other nations since then, and many more are underway. U.S. utilities have become much more enthusiastic about nuclear energy, spurred by the National Energy Policy Act of 2005, forecasts of future generating needs, and rising public concerns about global warming.
Senate Bill Boosts Administration Request for Nuclear Energy Programs
There are significant differences in the approach that House and Senate appropriators took to the Administration's FY 2007 request for DOE's nuclear energy programs. House appropriators, who complained in their committee report that aspects of the Administration's request were not well defined, cut the request of $632.7 million by 21% to $499.8 million. Senate appropriators took a different approach, providing 12.4% more than what was requested, recommending funding of $711.3 million. The current budget is $535.7 million.
Committee Examines Future Cost of Nuclear Waste Storage
Despite years of study, and the expenditure of billions of dollars, the problem of how best to dispose of the nation's nuclear waste remains unresolved. As reviewed in FYI #109, there is disagreement about the feasibility of spent fuel reprocessing. The nation's only proposed repository beneath Yucca Mountain, Nevada is 20 years behind schedule.
NRC Committee Highly Critical of Administration GNEP Nuclear Energy Plan
The conclusion drawn by a National Research Council committee regarding a major Bush Administration nuclear energy initiative is unambiguous. Said the committee: "All committee members agree that the GNEP program should not go forward and that it should be replaced by a less aggressive research program."
Interest Grows in Global Nuclear Energy Partnership
"We are engaged in a unique undertaking, one that joins governments of the East and West, North and South in the pursuit of a common goal: the safe expansion of nuclear power around the world."– Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman in Vienna, September 2007
House and Senate Take Different Approaches on Nuclear Energy Initiative
While House and Senate appropriators generally are supportive of nuclear energy, they part company with the Bush Administration over its FY 2008 request for a major civilian nuclear energy program. Appropriators on both sides of the Capitol have significantly reduced the $395 million request for the the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership's (GNEP) Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative

Everyone remembers that in the menu protagonist sits tied to a chair? So, you can break free and look around. Finding a computer terminal in the far corner of the room, you can explore the hidden abilities of game menu. I think I heard somewhere that would be the end of the Second World War and the Vietnam War? I do not know. I'll pick it up though. We hope it will be better than MW2.

Also there is a game mode "zombie-like" for this game, and all new weapons like a crossbow and a pair of new shotguns and AR. The COD never disappointed me and i am expecting the same from the Black Ops also. If you like then play it and work with the same.

" With co-op mode is also not pumped "We tried as best we could and now we can please you, confirming that the Wii version will be co-op mode. And we do a new mode of training in combat (Combat Training) and of course we have not forgotten about zombies. Yes, a cooperative mode with the zombies on four players to be. " Incidentally, you can do just a classic controller for the Black Ops, Remote have not necessarily. "Do not get me wrong, I love to play with the Wii Remote and nunchuck, especially when I'm all set for themselves. But when I tried to play with the Classic Controller Pro I was pleasantly surprised. Now, I switch between the two versions of the game control of mood and depending on the mode in which I play. "Well, some interesting features, finally: "And we have a new system of allies. With this system you can invite people, which recently played to join you as allies. Well, over the configuration of classes, we have worked, now it is much more elaborate. "

Ratings & Reviews
We were first time home buyers, and Mrs. McCollum provided an excellent buying experience. She is a highly experienced realtor, and knows the area well. This experience and knowledge was invaluable as she guided us through the buying process as our buyer's agent. Her staff is also very supportive and helpful as well. No matter at what price level you're looking to purchase, we highly recommend Theresa.
Theresa McCollum is an exemplary real estate agent. She is very knowledgeable and looks out for the best interests of both the buyers and the sellers. One of the qualities we like in Theresa is that she is not pushy, but is there to answer any questions we have. She sincerely wants you to find the house that fits your needs and very patiently helps you find it. Paperwork is not a burden, and she responds quickly to e-mails and/or phone calls. Theresa is a positive person and makes buying and selling real estate a pleasant experience. In the past, I have looked at houses with Theresa. My husband and I are in the process of purchasing a house I have loved since childhood. Theresa is our real estate agent. We have also listed the house we are moving out of with her. Hopefully our house will fit the needs of another family, and Theresa will happily sell it to them.
Theresa is a terrific agent! She is knowledgeable, helpful and she is great to work with. She had to deal with some less than positive situations, but she always kept her head straight and handled everything very well. It was a pleasure working with her and I recommend her to others who are looking to sell or buy a home in the area!

testors air brush help

I have been modelling for a while and never bought an air brush but recently I went to a Zellers that was clsing and got a testors basic air brush thats uses a can of propellent. Its a geat little air brush and only cost me $15 (canadian) but replacement ccans cost $10 per can, I was wondering if it was at all possible to use a compressor? Also because Im a very low budget modeller a shiny new compressor is out of my budget plus I only build a model every few months, I was looking on ebay and found some cheap tattoo/make up mini compressor kits for less than $100, has anybody tried these or are they even worth the money? example http://www.ebay.ca/i...=item416e8bff3d
Posted 21 November 2012 - 04:25 PM
That compressor is really marginal, especially for an external mix airbrush like yours. Notice it's spec'd at 19psi max. Your brush really needs 25 to 30psi with good volume. Try to find something with at least a 1/8hp motor. The cans are too expensive to stay with. A regular shop compressor would be noisy but you could use it for other things too.

Convince me not to buy a cintiq 12wx
(tl;dr is at the bottom)
I have a tiny, tiny tablet (it's a graphire 3 5x3) and lately it's been freaking out on me (sometimes it has random spasms, but most of the time it's the pressure sensitivity crapping out and going full force, creating something similar to ink blot spills).
So I'm in the market for a new tablet. Right now I'm looking at an intuos 4 medium tablet or a cintiq 12wx.
Obviously the cintiq is much more expensive so I was thinking about getting a used one on ebay.
Money aside, is there ANY REASON AT ALL I should avoid the cintiq? Any at all?
As far as what sort of work I do, I do animation in flash and I paint in photoshop. I have my BFA thesis coming up soon too (I will hopefully make a 5 minute hand drawn cartoon). I also animate in maya, but I feel like I wouldn't use the cintiq (or a tablet) for that anyways.
The main reason why the cintiq looks so tempting right now is because I'm used to looking where I draw. When I use my animation disk, I rotate it at every angle imaginable (same with my sketchbook) and I simply can't do that with the tablets that lack the LCD screen.
I've also considered a tablet PC but- I've already invested a lot in my desktop AND they're all out of my price range. I know the cheaper ones can't play back 24fps at real time, at least with Flash, so I don't think those ones are worth it.
Anyways, if I can get a discounted (slightly used) cintiq 12wx, should I go for it? What are the reasons to avoid cintiqs? How's the LCD screen on it? Does the unit get hot at all? Do images burn into the screen? etc etc.

i heard cintiq gets hot after awhile. and the screen space is limited on the 12wx. with a tablet, you can work on a larger monitor

I bought a 12wx a few months back and thought (and continue to think) it was an extremely wise investment. If you're looking for a need to be able to carry this thing around and use it anywhere other than a home...no. It has a pretty good amount of chords to it (1 going from the cintiq to the converter box, 2 from the converter box to your computer, and the other 2 are a combination of 1 that goes from the converter box and has a power converter on the end of it and 1 that's just a normal power chord that plugs into the power converter to goes into the wall.) Suprisingly enough though, the 12wx doesn't actually get hot. It does get a LITTLE warm, but just enough to keep your hand toasty! It does have a little "edge sensitivity", as in when you get around an inch away from the edge from the screen, the cursor does get a little wobbly. But I thought it was worth it to be able to twist and turn like a scketchbook and be able to see where Im drawing...and the amount of space on the screen isn't bad at all!! I find it to be plenty. Im preparing to get an intuos 4 hopefully that's worth it too! Ha!

yeah, from what I understand it's not portable at all really, unless you've got somewhere to plug into and setup for awhile.
I've got a cintiq 21 and I'm hoping to pick up a 12 also. I've heard of people using them as pallettes for regular cintiqs which I think is brilliant, but I also want the option to be able to sit on the couch with a laptop and work while the wife watches tv.
I have heard of it having weird reactions around the edges which sucks and it does seem kind of expensive.

Maybe what im working on isnt serious enough or I havent had it long enough but I dont experience this "wobblyness" near the edges on the 12 inch cintiq.
I dont regret buying the cintiq at all. I hook it up to a laptop (wich has a setting to run with the lid closed) so I can just tuck everything under the bed and lay there with just the cintiq on my lap and draw.
I suppose I could do that with the larger cintiq as well but the 12 is so thin and light its easy to man handle it if you know what I mean.

Pen sensitivity isnt up to date with the intuos 4
1024 (or something ) = Cintiq
2048 or something = Intuos 4
also color collaboration is a bitch, you'll spend hours trying to adjust the right colors that match your monitor, in the end you think you've got it, then when you paint on your cintiq then drag it to your monitor, you'll be crying loads because the colors didn't come out right,
well that's my experience
I only use the monitor feature on my cintiq for sketching and grayscaling, then i drag it to my monitor for coloring, ( great use of a cintiq eh? ) actually, i also use it for perspective, straight lines, and such, its more control, But if i were you, i would wait for the "hopefully" new cintiq with Intuos 4 features and "hopefully" Better color collab, <-- ( that would be a good cintiq )

I'm in my third week of owning one. I really love it! I've been using a standard tablet for about 10 years and I finally decided to bite the bullet and get one. It does get warm after some time but I use that as an excuse to turn it off and take a break.
I thought the screen size would bother me but it doesn't. There's just something different about working directly on the screen makes me not realize the size. Because of the cost, I would definitely look at purchasing it new. I would stay away from eBay. The unit costs a lot and if something goes wrong you will appreciate the warranty from Wacom.
good luck

Portability isn't an issue. The only times I plan on moving this thing in the foreseeable future is when I move from my house to a dorm.
The color calibration issue seems like it might be a serious problem, but does the cintiq only act as a 2nd monitor? Can you set it to see exactly what's on the first monitor? (or is that more of a video card sort of thing?)
Pen sensitivity, right now, isn't that much of an issue for me. Anything is going to be an improvement over the current 512 (I think) I get from the graphire 3.
Anyways, I can tell you right now I'm leaning much more towards the intuos 4 medium.
I can get a medium intuos 4 AND a student copy of Photoshop cs4 (with the nifty canvas rotation feature) and still have $400 left to kick around (which is a month's tuition for me).
From other people I've talked to about this, it seems like, given the choice between the small and big cintiq, I'd be better off just saving up for the big cintiq instead of splurdging now and getting the small one.
So, small cintiq now or big cintiq later and "survive" off of the intuos 4 for the next few years?
May 26th, 2009 #9
if you're animating in flash it means you're not going for hd720 + resolution, so the relatively small cintiq's size is not an issue.
if you're not going to make epic paintings for print, you'll probably won't even need a large work area and ability to paint with free broad strokes, that's what a larger intuos gives you; and I'm not sure that 2048 levels of pressure will make difference with flash (they will with photoshop or painter)
good luck.
May 28th, 2009 #10
personally I was rather annoyed by the edge inaccuracy, jitter.
And another thing that gets mentioned (or even noticed) very rarely:
If you use the Cintiq as a normal tablet while keeping the screen switched on(!), it's very inaccurate! But if you turn of the screen and use it as a tablet then, it's noticeable smoother and more accurate! And the jitter at the edges is completely gone.
For animation, this is really a good investment I must admit. It's much easier to animate working directly on the screen. Since I like to do hand-drawn animation myself, I bought the 12WX for that reason as well.
What I think shouldn't be underestimated is the fact that it gets warm after a while and your hand might start sweating. It's more bothersome than some may think. Or it could just be me...
Also, I find it a tad too small. With all the menues it gets pretty cramped. The 21 would definitely pay out in the the long run.
As another issue I'd mention that I like to see what I am painting without my hand blocking the image. I feel, the endresult is always better when you have a look at your entire work at all times. But since you can use it as a standalone tablet AND an onscreen painting device as well, it's all cool I guess. Just remember that if you're using a 4:3 main screen, you need to change the mapping settings and thus there will be some space cut off on the Cintiq (which makes it a smaller tablet in the end --> not as accurate). This is another thing that posed a problem for me. I should probably think about getting a widescreen giving my Cintiq a 2nd chance since it's catching dust on my desk and I am thinking about selling it...
May 29th, 2009 #11
i got an intuos 3 and a cintiq 21ux, got to said that was hard to get used to the cintiq beczuse of the surface, its cool to sue, but not a magical machine that wil raise your level 100%, cried some months saying why i spend so much money on this one, but afer a time i got used to and draw faster, if you want portability, sorry but the 12 has tomany cables ral big, same as the cintiq 21 or even 20, so i wont recomend it to you if you want to tavel or move around, i work the same with my intuos 3 when im out and want to do sketches, but using painter on my laptop of 15 inches space isnt just enough.
I highly recomend you to get an intuos wide screen, those are cheaper, and you will feel like heaven after using the new leveles of preasure, i used a graphire and believe me you wont believe how much a line can change, besides i think a new type of cintiq will come out soon, and the ones we have will drop prices fast.
But ive heard people that are ahving fun with the 12w, so dont worry with what you will buy, cause you will be 100 times better than the one you have already.
There are no such things as bad art, just tight deadlines.
May 29th, 2009 #12
Well I know that there was a lot of fighting over the warranty of your tablet because they now use acrylic instead of glass and will cause easier scratches on the surface.
Personally, because monitor technology is a lot better now I'm waiting to see what the next generation of cintiqs will offer.
May 29th, 2009 #13
If you need to post a thread asking people to convince you not to buy a product, well I think you've already convinced yourself in that aspect and in that case I find this thread superfluous. Still you probably would learn a thing or two from people's experiences with the product and might consider otherwise
June 1st, 2009 #14
Thanks everyone! Based on what everyone here has said I'll probably just go with an intuos 4 and save up for the big cintiq.
Then again I'm also convinced that someday I'll be animating at Pixar or Disney and I'll be the next hottest thing to hit the industry. I need second/third/fourth/etc. opinions because I often times get pretty terrible ideas.
June 2nd, 2009 #15
It's reasonably cheaper at 17inch tho if I remembered it correctly. Dunno if anyone here is using it..

I love my cintiq 12wx. I was extremely hesitant to buy one from seeing so much criticism of them on the internet. I believe the people who critique the most harshly haven't really set it up properly. Calibrating mine to work well with my work flow took HOURS - though after I took that time, I don't get angle jitter, the pen doesn't wig out at the edges of the screen. I've used it for hours on end and it never gets hot. The screen is physically small, but the resolution is so good on it that it doesn't matter much. I also have a dual-monitor setup where I can be zoomed in to paint on the Cintiq but still have a larger representation on my monitor.
The ability to have direct hand eye coordination with a tablet is something I sorely missed, and I find I work way faster on the Cintiq now. It's much more natural than my previous Intuos.
The Cintiq will fit people based on their work style, surely. See if you can find one at a store to play around on. That will be the best indicator for whether or not you should buy one. I too was under the 'bigger is better' mentality for the Cintiqs, then I tried both of them. I wasn't maximizing the space on the bigger Cintiq as much as I suspected I would. Though the 21ui definitely a nicer choice than the 12wx, I didn't find it be nearly nice enough to justify the leap in price (yet).
It just breaks my heart to see people knock the 12wx for issues that seem to lie in calibration. It's a beautiful little piece of machinery and it was worth every penny for me. Goodluck on your search for the perfect tablet

I love mine, but the day that they get a wireless one out, I will through a party! I'm just sick of cables in general. But I do enjoy my cintiq very much, and what also helps with the screen when it gets warm and your hand might start sticking a little from the sweat, I bought one of those finger sleeves for drawing and throw that on when I work on it. Helps my hand slide around perfectly on the screen and I feel like I am in Minority Report! It covers your palm and pinky finger, so you get an idea of what I am talking about. Hope that helps.

I used to have colour collaboration problems but after i did this there have been none.
done after calibration:

Ummm you guys....it's called colour CALIBRATION not collaboration....
June 23rd, 2009 #20
I feel colour collaboration here is more accurate term, we are talking about having two screen to match each other in colour space. Offcource it is calibration when we are trying to have most accurate colour space on single screen, but here it is two screen that have to match each other in accurate colour space so: colour collaboration between screens.
we are actually splitting hairs here thought...

Dont buy the 12WX.
Save and get the 21UX. It's worth it.
November 30th, 2009 #22
I use my Cintiq12 all the time, 2D, 3D. Everything I do, I complete much faster than I would with either paper/scanning/mouse or paper/scanning/tablet, or full-tablet.
Yeah, if you can afford it, get the 21.
I would be wary though about buying one from Ebay.
These Cintiq's have likely had slight changes over the years, and there would be a doubt about your 3 year warranty, believe me, if you spend the bucks, you dont want the thing to go >poof!< and not be able to send it into WACOM for covered repairs.
Mines a fairly recent production model, and I'm very pleased with its performance, the LCD is crisp. Heat? I don't find it that bad, I have this thing on my lap most of the time.
I would find going back to a pen-tablet very hard to do, I have deadlines and the cintiq lets me finish in ample time.
The one thing I do have a problem with, and this is not really a Cintiq-only problem. Is you will find you will need to turn off your monitor or assign the cintiq as primary depending on the software you use.
Manga Studio (3EX) and the 3D paint-room in Carrara 7 pro, works only if the cintiq is primary and secondary monitor is shut off.
Dogwaffle pro's sliderbars only show up in the primary monitor only, but will otherwise function properly.
So software compatibility has to extend to multiple monitors and LCD-tablet support.

I just got my Cintiq12wx yesterday and have a problim with monitor setup. I use a laptop vs. a desktop PC. Attached to this desktop is a 24" Dell HC monitor that was very expensive. Now it seems I cannot use my Cintiq in conjunction with the 24" It's either one or the other. The problem as that I use the 24" as my main monitor. Am I missing something? Is there away to set this up?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
January 21st, 2010 #24
Are you running a dual-monitor setup or did you do this previously? Are you trying to run three monitors of one card?
As you present it, I can only think of one thing and that is a terribly old graphics card. Any modern graphics card should be able to easily power two DVI connections. So if it's not hardware, it might be software.
But since that's all pretty simple to set up, I highly doubt it's that. (Sounding like a condescending tool here, I apologise in advance.)

I've owned a 12WX for over a year (two counting a replacement for one which died).
Drawing directly on the screen is nice, however there are quite a few catches.
- the screen is small so you need to adjust the workspace or keep using TAB to hide/show the pallets.
- the pen is quite thick and obscures the screen, especially when compared to a tradition LCD + tablet, or even a pencil.
- both my tablets have the shakes around the edges which limits the useful screen area and can make selecting menus tricky. Wobbly lines in the middle of the screen appear to be a problem with Photoshop - Painters being much smoother - ironically I find turning smoothing OFF in the brush palette helps!
- while the screen is A4 size the pen has nowhere near the precision of a sharp pencil so you will need to zoom in, zoom out to check proportions... and in, and out etc.
- the screen is dull, boosting the brightness destroys colour accuracy so I have kept mine around 55% or 60%.
- compared to other monitors the contrast isn't great, subtle changes in colour which are visible on my work monitor become flat.
- Price, at this point in time for the same price or less you could buy a very good 24" monitor and an Intuos 4 medium, which in my personal opinion (and with hindsight) represents better value for money.
January 26th, 2010 #26
I bought one because default pen was too large for my hands
(but I went back later when got into oil painting with large brushes, lol)
on the fourth day of glitchmas my painter gave to me
four random crashes, three broken brushes, two system hangups & one corrupted workspace
January 26th, 2010 #27
Your quite right, its just an additional cost on top what I have already spent. What might work in future would be a basic thin pen about the size of a pencil or bic which comes with a set of grips/sheaths so users can pick a size they are comfortable with.
At the moment I'm doing most of my painting at work where I'm very fortunate to have an Intuos 3 A5 and a 30" display to work on.

And don't even be tempted to use it to visit any pr0n sites..... please think of the kittens... you know what god does in retaliation for the big "M".
The 12ux is $500 too expensive. Don't buy it.

George Foreman vs. Ken Norton
From BoxRec
1974-03-26 : George Foreman 224¾ lbs beat Ken Norton 212¾ lbs by TKO at 2:00 in round 2 of 15
- Location: El Poliedro, Caracas, Venezuela
- Referee: Jimmy Rondeau
- World Boxing Council Heavyweight Title (Foreman defending)
- World Boxing Association Heavyweight Title (Foreman defending)
- Foreman was a 3 to 1 favorite.
- Norton was knocked down three times.
- The fight had originally been set for Caracas on the basis that all taxes would be waived. But the night before the match, Hank Schwartz, vice-president of Video Techniques, the theater-TV outfit that beamed the fight out into the world, was handed a government memo saying that some taxes would be assessed. The next afternoon, Aldemaro Romero, who managed the Poliedro fight arena, assured Schwartz that the tax problem had been solved, that the Poliedro would put up a tax bond. The day after the fight, the government insisted on collecting its full 18% of the purses guaranteed to the fighters ($700,000 for Foreman and $200,000 for Norton). To enforce the demand, Venezuelan authorities stopped the fighters at the airport and said they couldn't leave the country until they had posted bonds for the tax money. Norton was able to leave on March 29, but Foreman wasn't able to leave until April 2. Foreman was finally allowed to leave after paying $300,000 to the Venezuelan government. The fight became known as "The Caracas Caper."
- The 1998 Holiday Issue of The Ring ranked Foreman #4 and Norton #22 on the list The 50 Greatest Heavyweights of All Time.

This is a genuine mis match. Big nog by submission fury, 10sec first round!
According to Tagg Radio, former UFC Heavyweight champion Frank Mir is rumored to be taking on PRIDE legend Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira possibly later this year. The news comes just a month after Mir's impressive victory over Antoni Hardonk at UFC 74.
Mir's victory over Hardonk was the first time we have seen a glimpse of the former champion since his motorcycle crash in 2004. He was forced out of fighting for 16 months and his comeback to the cage has been less then stellar, giving up losses to Marcio Cruz and Brandon Vera.
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira aka "Big Nog" will be tough competition for Mir, but a win for either of these fighters could land them a title shot in the near future.
The date for the fight is not yet know, but Big Nog was rumored to be fighting in December.
This is a genuine mis match. Big nog by submission fury, 10sec first round!
Mir is good on the ground so I see it as a great matchup. After seeing Big Nog's last performance vs. Herring…I'm thinking this is the perfect fight for Mir to get into the picture again.

Polar Roller
500 - 1,000 downloads

"Roll must go on"
Reviewed by Peter Warrior / Jul 19, 2014
An innovative ever-running platformer
Despite the harmless appearance of the screenshots, Polar Roller is an extremely unclassifiable game based on physics, where a ball must roll over infinite randomly generated platforms, the farther the better.
The game starts without mercy (no menus, settings, or tips of any kind), so expect a few minutes of absolute confusion to understand what's going on. The plot thickens when you find at the upmost left corner of the screen a button titled "roll" that rolls the camera, turning your screen upside down - or any other allegedly random effect. The sphere also reacts in a different way to different kinds of platforms, and there are colored squares on your way to get temporary acceleration or defy gravity.
Don't let your ball down even when you look stuck on a wall or the side of a platform; a tap or flick can save the game and keep you rolling.
If you thought Flappy Bird was fifty-fifty absurd and addictive, it's because you haven't played Polar Roller.Developer's original description available here
how to play:
Tap anywhere on the screen to jump.
The roll button starts or stops rolling the camera with the snowball. Adjust it to get the perfect angle for your jumps and landing after big air! Or just leave it on for the challenge!
When hitting the edge of a surface you can wall jump. You cannot wall jump on every platform. Different platforms dynamically generated have different physics properties. This game is fully 3d with a physics engine so time your jumps, and manage your acceleration for best results!

COLUMBUS — On the sprawling campus of The Ohio State University, it can be all too easy for a freshman to get lost amongst the intricate labrynth of buildings.
One of the first places Russia High School graduate Katie Borchers discovered on campus, however, was the weightroom. She's spent much of the past three years locked in that weightroom, hefting iron and turning herself into a Big 10 champion.
"I've been getting a lot stronger the past few years," said Borchers, who captured a conference title in the 800-meter run at the Big 10 Track and Field Championships at Purdue University. "My body has been adapting to college track and field. I've been lifting weights a lot more than I ever did in high school. It's made a lot of difference for me. I didn't do hardly any lifting at all in high school — I would just run.
"When you get to college, everyone is good in college. Everyone has to do lifting. Everyone has to eat right and has to get enough sleep. My freshman year was a real wake-up call. I knew it was going to be harder in college, but I didn't realize how much more difficult it was going to be until I experienced it for myself."
Despite the steep learning curve, however, Borchers did make an immediate impact for the Buckeyes as a freshman, helping the distance medley relay team set a school record during the indoor season. Since then, however, the wispy high school athlete who captured a state title in the 800 as a senior has built up her body through OSU's strength and conditioning program — and has built up an impressive list of accomplishments along the way.
Before last weekend, she already had been namedas 2013 honorable mention All-American in the 800, held three schol records, was a three-time Ohio State Scholar Athlete, a two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection and an Academic All-American.
Winning a Big 10 title, however, has been the crowning glory on her career with the Buckeyes so far. She won the event in 2:05.17, breaking her own school record and edging Purdue's Bre'Anna Smith by one-tenth of a second.
"It felt good — I am so honored and so blessed just to run for Ohio State," Borchers said. "I felt great the whole week. I was ranked third after the preliminaries, but I knew we still had to run the final race."
The fact that she is now a Big 10 champion still hasn't hit Borchers a week later. Up next, she'll compete in the NCAA East Regional in Jacksonville, Fla. and hopes to qualify for a spot the following week in the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore.
"I don't think it's really hit me yet," Borchers said. "I don't feel any different. I'm still the same person. It's so hard to believe. I've watched video of the race and it's still shocking to me."
