This is a collection of iPhone shots from the last month.
On my many trips to the airport, as I passed over one of the westernmost bridges on the Han River, I have often looked back north to notice a hill by the river with a pagoda on top. On my many trips to Ilsan I had also noticed signs for the Haengju Mountain Fortress. I only just realized recently that these two were the same place.
Just beyond the main gate is statue of General Kwon Yul, who led his force of 3,000 against some 30,000 Japanese troops. His remarkable victory is depicted in relief in four panels behind his gold-toned statue.
If you are looking for a quiet afternoon walk, with a commanding view of Seoul and the Han River, Haengjusanseong might be the answer.
These are just some iPhone shots I've taken over the last few weeks.
Just some recent dailies.
Northern Seoul Dream forest, Seoul's fourth largest park, was renovated and reopened in October, 2009. There is a wide variety of terrain here, including natural relatively untouched forested areas, grassy expanses, waterfalls, eco-park, an animal habitat, and a recently planted bamboo forest. It's less crowded than Seoul's other parks — perhaps, because it's quite a way off the beaten path — making the overall experience more relaxing.
Getting there: Take Line 4 to the Mia Samgeori station and head out through Exit 1. Look for a bus stop nearby and jump on Bus 9 or 11. These buses will drop you of across the street from the main gate.
The Jongmyo shrine was built in 1394 under a directive from the first ruler of the Chosun dynasty, King Taejo. That structure was burned to the ground (along with everything else) by the Japanese during the invasion of 1592. The wooden building you see today was built in 1601. The shrine's purpose was to house the spirit tablets (shinju) of deceased kings and queens. Jongmyo and the Sajik shrine (to the gods of soil and grain) were considered the most sacred sites in Chosun-era Korea.
Getting there: Take Line 1, Line 5, or Line 3 and get off at Jongno-3(sam)ga Station. Walk through the Jongmyo Citizen's Park to the main gate.

Communication theory
Communication theory is a field of information theory and mathematics that studies the technical process of information[1] and the process of human communication.[2]
"The fundamental problem of communication is that of reproducing at one point either exactly or approximately a message selected at another point."[1] Claude Shannon (1916-2001)
The origins of communication theory is linked to the development of information theory in the early 1920s.[3] Limited information-theoretic ideas had been developed at Bell Labs, all implicitly assuming events of equal probability.
Harry Nyquist's 1924 paper, Certain Factors Affecting Telegraph Speed, contains a theoretical section quantifying "intelligence" and the "line speed" at which it can be transmitted by a communication system.
Ralph Hartley's 1928 paper, Transmission of Information, uses the word "information" as a measurable quantity, reflecting the receiver's ability to distinguish one sequence of symbols from any other. The natural unit of information was therefore the decimal digit, much later renamed the hartley in his honour as a unit or scale or measure of information.
Alan Turing in 1940 used similar ideas as part of the statistical analysis of the breaking of the German second world war Enigma ciphers.
The main landmark event that opened the way to the development of communication theory was the publication of an article by Claude Shannon in the Bell System Technical Journal in July and October 1948 under the title "A Mathematical Theory of Communication".[1] Shannon focused on the problem of how best to encode the information that a sender wants to transmit. He used also tools in probability theory, developed by Norbert Wiener. They marked the nascent stages of applied communication theory at that time. Shannon developed information entropy as a measure for the uncertainty in a message while essentially inventing the field of information theory.
In 1949, in a declassified version of his wartime work on the mathematical theory of cryptography ("Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems"), he proved that all theoretically unbreakable ciphers must have the same requirements as the one-time pad. He is also credited with the introduction of sampling theory, which is concerned with representing a continuous-time signal from a (uniform) discrete set of samples. This theory was essential in enabling telecommunications to move from analog to digital transmissions systems in the 1960s and later.
In 1951, Shannon made his fundamental contribution to natural language processing and computational linguistics with his article "Prediction and Entropy of Printed English" (1951), providing a clear quantifiable link between cultural practice and probabilistic cognition.
Models of communication[edit]
The studies on information theory by Claude Elwood Shannon, Warren Weaver and others, prompted research on new models of communication from other scientific perspectives like psychology and sociology. In science, a model is a structure that represents a theory.[4]
Scholars from disciplines different from mathematics and engineering began to take distance from the Shannon and Weaver models as a 'transmissible model':
They developed a model of communication which was intended to assist in developing a mathematical theory of communication. Shannon and Weaver's work proved valuable for communication engineers in dealing with such issues as the capacity of various communication channels in 'bits per second'. It contributed to computer science. It led to very useful work on redundancy in language. And in making 'information' 'measurable' it gave birth to the mathematical study of 'information theory'
— D. Chandler, [5]
Harold Lasswell (1902–1978), a political scientist and communication theorist, was a member of the Chicago school of sociology. In his work "The Structure and Function of Communication in Society" (1948), he defined the communication process as "Who (says) What (to) Whom (in) What Channel (with) What Effect". The distinct model he propounded was known as Dance Model.[6]
These first studies on communication's models promoted more researches on the topic. Wilbur Lang Schramm (1907–1987), whom communication theorist Everett Rogers called the "founder of communication study",[7] focused his studies on the experience of the sender and receiver (listener). Communication is possible only upon a common language between sender and receiver.[8] Everett Roger's accounts later led to the basis for development communication studies.
In 1960, David Kenneth Berlo, a disciple of Schramm, expanded on Shannon and Weaver's linear model of communication and created the Sender-Message-Channel-Receiver Model of communication (SMCR Model) exposed in his work The Process of Communication, where communication appears as a regulated process that allows the subject to negotiate with his living environment. Communication becomes, then, a value of power and influence (psychology of communication).[9]
In 1963, Richard Whately's (1787-1863) "Elements of Rhetoric" was republished[10] with a critical introduction by Douglas Ehninger and a foreword by David Potter. They explored what they called the "Aristotle's models of communication". James L. Kinneavy[11] (1920–1999) also explored Aristotle's rhetoric and communication model in "A Theory of Discourse" (1971).[12]
|This section requires expansion. (September 2012)
"Communication Theory as a Field"[edit]
In 1999, Craig wrote a landmark article,[14] "Communication Theory as a Field",[13] which expanded the conversation regarding disciplinary identity in the field of communication.[15][14][16][17][18][19][20] At that time, communication theory textbooks had little to no agreement on how to present the field or what theories to include in their textbooks.[21][22][23] This article has since become the foundational framework for four different textbooks to introduce the field of communication.[24][13][25][26][27] In this article, Craig "proposes a vision for communication theory that takes a huge step toward unifying this rather disparate field and addressing its complexities."[25] To move toward this unifying vision, Craig focused on communication theory as a practical discipline and shows how "various traditions of communication theory can be engaged in dialogue on the practice of communication."[28][29] In this deliberative process, theorists would engage in dialog about the "practical implications of communication theories."[30] In the end, Craig proposes seven different traditions of communication theory and outlines how each one of them would engage the others in dialogue.[31]
Elements of communication[edit]
Basic elements of communication made the object of study of the communication theory:[32]
- Source: Shannon calls this element the "information source", which "produces a message or sequence of messages to be communicated to the receiving terminal."[1]
- Sender: Shannon calls this element the "transmitter", which "operates on the message in some way to produce a signal suitable for transmission over the channel."[1] In Aristotle, this element is the "speaker" (orator).[10]
- Channel: For Shannon, the channel is "merely the medium used to transmit the signal from transmitter to receiver."[1]
- Receiver: For Shannon, the receiver "performs the inverse operation of that done by the transmitter, reconstructing the message from the signal."[1]
- Destination: For Shannon, the destination is "the person (or thing) for whom the message is intended".[1]
- Message: from Latin mittere, "to send". The message is a concept, information, communication, or statement that is sent in a verbal, written, recorded, or visual form to the recipient.

Israel's ambassador to the United Nations told JTA that "life might be easier" if the world body didn't exist.
Meron Reuben added, however, that "whether we like it or not, we have to partake in its deliberations."
The United Nations "is the most important multilateral organization in the world," Reuben said. "Israel cannot be seen to be outside the United Nations."
Reuben spoke with JTA on Monday morning hours before he was scheduled to hold his first face-to-face meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since his temporary appointment by Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman. Netanyahu did not approve of Reuben's appointment, so Reuben has taken the post on an interim basis.
"The hypocrisy of the United Nations makes Israel the scapegoat for everything," Reuben, who also serves as Israel's ambassador to Colombia, said in an interview. "We have learned, unfortunately, to live with this, but I hope it won't go on forever."
Reuben also said that Israel has made some positive strides at the United Nations in recent years, noting the passage three years ago of the first Israeli-sponsored resolution at the international body, the rising number of Israelis who hold official positions in the U.N. bureaucracy—15 in the U.N. hierarchy and 65 in affiliated organizations—and the establishment of an official U.N. Holocaust day of remembrance.
"It's good that people around the world see what Israel has to offer," Reuben said.

Old Evil.
From the author of the Chicagoland Vampires novels, a new series about a boarding school filled with something worse than homework.

Her roommate, Scout, keeps her sane, but keeps disappearing at night. When one day Lily finds Scout running from real-life monsters, she learns the hard way that Scout is involved in a splinter group of rebel teens.They protect Chicago from demons, vamps, and dark magic users.

"terrible narration"
The part of the story I could listen to was good. I would probably listen to series with different narrator.
Good narrators......
Liv Anderson
Sophie Eastlake
Khristine Hvam
Saskia Maarleveld
Chris Dukehart
Kevin T. Collins
To name a few that would have made the book better
"Thumbs down"
Staccato narration really disappointing. Story weak not engaging. Too much lead in not enough build up. Expected much more from this author.
"Narration Blows"
The narrator hesitates in places that make no sense.
Courtney because she is mysterious.

"Story is Good - But the Performance Is Lacking"
I've enjoyed the story so far and the dialogue is pretty decent. I'm not far enough into the story yet to know if it follows a coherent story line. The narrator is what I like least. I can get past the nasal New England accent. What I can't ignore is the odd cadence and what sounds like an underlying amusement throughout the narration. Mary Kane has a tendency to pause in the midst of sentences in such a way as to remove any meaning from them. She also sounds like she finds the entire book humorous. It's nothing overt, but it's hard to appreciate the serious thrilling parts of the book when the narrator sounds like she's amused by the whole thing.
I'd ask that they return to Cynthia Holloway or explore Amanda Ronconi.
Possibly, but it would have to be very well done - on par with Harry Potter, NOT Twilight.
"Awful narration"
Chloe...yes. Mary...no.
I don't know.
Katie Schorr
Book is fine but a very hard listen.
Not pleased at all. Get a new narrator!! Very robotic!!
Not really. I love Chloe Neill's books but I can barely keep up with the premise of this book, the narrator is so annoying.
Its a Chloe Neill book.
Everything! I would give no stars if this review would let me. I don't usually complain about narrators, some are hard to listen to but I get by because I get caught up with the story. In this one I am so annoyed 5 mins into it I can hardly "hear" the story to carry on. I usually finish any Chloe Neill book in a day, two at the most. I have had this one for just over a week and I am really struggling to finish it.
Apart from choosing books by my favorite authors I also pick many of my titles from Audible, Inc. and Audible Frontiers. I must say I was very surprised and disappointed that this audio version is by Audible Inc. I don't think I will attempt the other two books!
"Please have someone different narrate this story!"
I love Chloe Neill but Mary Kanes voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. it almost rendered this fantastically written book un listenable.:(
"Someone take the Clothes pin off her nose"
The story was definitely decent but the narrator was horrible. My husband even came into the room and was like oh my god what are you listening to This is painful. I agreed
And was nice still difficult to get into because of the narrator
I probably would've really enjoyed this book but the narrator was not becoming very nasally. I wouldn't even this series again unless there was a new narrator. And I am very much a series girl all the way to the end.
Choose a new book
This author is an amazing author I've read all of her Chicagoland series books but I can't get into this series because of the authors choice of narrator. Which detracts from the story line completely.
"Terrible narrator ... So far good story"
Really bad narration. I am going to try to listen to all the book but not sure I can. I will not be purchasing more books from this series. Do the people responsible for hiring the narrators ever actually listen? If so, then maybe they want the audio sales to suffer or fail. It just doesn't make sense to take a book/series with great potential and ruin it with a horrible narrator.
Same thing happened with another series of Chloe Neill only worse because it started with a great narrator and changed to one who should never have even tried to narrate. Cynthia Halloway would have been great.
"Excellent story but Narrator is horrible"
A different Narrator
I love the story and a new spin to popular fiction themes
I never like to leave negative comments, I believe if you have nothing to say do not say it at all etc.While I was first listening to the story I was going to ask for a refund because the narrator has a very annoying, monotone voice and made the book almost impossible to listen to. I decided however to give it more of a chance. The story did grab me in after listening to it for a while and I believe it would be more exciting with a different narrator. Even when she tries to do different characters it just gets more high pitched, piercing and annoying in sound. I am wondering if this is her first time narrating? I am reluctant to listen to the next installment just because of her voice.

From thriller and suspense master Brett Battles comes Ashes, the fourth book in the continuing Project Eden thriller saga.
The hammer has fallen. The deadly Sage Flu has been unleashed. The scramble for survival is in full force.
Martina Gable and her family escaped to a secluded mountain cabin in hopes of avoiding the death sweeping the desert valley below. But have they gone far enough?
Dominic Ray, manager of a tropical, private island resort, has a dream job. The weather, the food, the drinks, the people - life couldn't be better. What he didn't expect - what no one could have expected - was that his good life was about to disappear. In a sea of the sick and dying, Sanjay and Kusum desperately search for a place beyond Mumbai where they and the group they are leading can be safe, and where they can prepare for what the future may bring.
Brandon Ash wants nothing more than to be with his father and sister, but there is something waiting for him on a deserted, snow-covered highway. Something that may mean the reunion will never happen.
As Daniel Ash, Brandon's father, lies unconscious from the serious wounds he suffered while hunting for his son, his daughter Josie realizes it's up to her to find her brother and bring him home. But the search will be a dangerous one, that will take her far from home.
And then there is Project Eden, watching the plague kill as they had planned, even as they prepare to activate the next phase.
What will you do to survive?
Ashes is best read after completing volumes 1-3 (Sick, Exit 9, and Pale Horse).

"You will love this"
I started from book 1 and just kept on going. The story kept you wanting more and more. Can't wait to get to book 3
"I love this series"
I love this series. I hope a TV show is developed. A TV show would be a smash hit.
"I love this narrater so much!"
this is a great series.. Macleod Andrews makes it even better. I'm going to definitely look for other books he's read for...
"Flawed but ok"
The story has plot serious flaws and technical problems that leave the story weak, but entertaining. It is somewhat ok but I can't stand the plot flaws.
"When does it end??? (In a good way)"
Top 5, easily
When the world population numbers kept dwindling.
I absolutely love the different voices! I can't believe it's just one person doing the story.
When Martina found her friends. Especially the girl at the house. For some reason I found it very funny. LOL
I've already purchased book 5.........................
"Loving this series!!!"
I was worried this had so many parts to the series, but I am enjoying the journey and have not been bored yet.
"Another perfect book in the series"
The Eden series has wonderful character development, good suspense, and a plot that is we'll thought-out and consistent throughout the multiple books. This one is no exception... highly recommended!
Say something about yourself!
"Ashes to Ashes"
Expectations were met. Some of the dialogue was repetitive and slow-paced. This installment was of sufficient interest that I will consider listening to earlier episodes if reader reviews are supportive.
"what was i thinking"
yes, i have to because he won't end this story
all of them
keep your attention
most of them
just to let people know, this is a good story but it only take 2 books to do it, no now i have to wait for # 5. he is just sucking money out of us to buy the next book
Entrepreneur + Avid Reader + Concerned Political Skeptic
"A Rambling Story"
Brett Battles is a very good author. I really have enjoyed his "Cleaner" series as well as some of his stand alone work like Little Girl Gone. However, he missed the mark on this one. In my opinion, way too much time was spent on weak characters and a slow, cliched buildup to an unsatisfying ending. I will continue to be interested in his work - but I wish I had skipped this one.
I've just finished listening to the whole Project Eden series, one after the other. A fantastic series, can't wait for the next installment. A very scary, well written storyline, heartbreakingly sad in parts, it pulls you in and keeps the suspense going throughout. And, as always, MacLeod Andrews' narrative style adds to the overall audio experience.

Tom Gregg, on Jennifer Rubin:
What people have a hard time accepting is that health care is no different from any other type of economic activity. It's an amalgam of goods and services that must compete with other sectors of the economy for a share of total available resources. To view health care in isolation, as if it somehow constitutes an exception to the rule, and to treat health care is if it is a right, is the cardinal error of most so-called reform proposals.
RCAR's story is a sad one. But the fact remains that somehow, in some way, health care costs have got to be contained. Nobody likes to think about it, but that's the reality. To give people all the health care they demand is plainly impossible. There is no conceivable health care system that could guarantee that such abuses would not occur. In Britain, for instance, widespread shortages of specialists, equipment and hospital beds lead to numerous preventable deaths.
We see how the unfunded obligations embodied in Medicare threaten to devour the whole federal budget. Obama's "reform" proposal (what we know of it) would inevitably make a bad situation even worse. Probably the fairest and most efficient health care system would be one that is market-based and largely free of government regulation. Would it eliminate all abuses? No. But without doubt, it would allocate resources most efficiently, and produce the greatest good for the greatest number—which is all we can reasonably expect.

How often do women get horny?
Like every day or just once in awhile and what triggers it normally? And do you find yourself more or less horny while being in a relationship and... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I'm horny on a daily - but don't have to have sex daily but would prefer it on a daily. And I think that I want sex more when I'm not in a relationship then when I am. Overall, the drive is the same in or out of a relationship, it just different knowing you can have sex when ever and you're comfortable with the person
-The thought of my guys touch or smell
-When I know my guy is working on hard on something
-How it was done the last time and wanting to do it again
-Things that he has done for me or said to me
-The look in his eye
-just him over all; some of the above just outweigh the others at different times
What do you mean is working hard on something? and what do you mean when you say the things he has done for you-like romantic gestures and gifts?
Working hard = Like his job, promotions, things that he achieved personally ...etc.
Things that he has done as in = taking time out of his life to be my companion. Like if he comes over and I'm cleaning or cooking; he helps out. Uhmm, or if he sees my grass needs to cut he does it. Romantic gestures and gifts are nice but not everything in a relationship.
What Girls Said 12
Depends on how attractive they find the guy they are with or wanna be with, id say almost every day but it really depends I go through phases of I want it like three times in one day and sometimes I want it like once and sometimes I just don't want to. Wer not like guys we aren't horny all the time because our hormones change literally all day every day

The spokesman for South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has dismissed reports the country's leader is in poor health, following his recent visit to the hospital.
President Zuma spent two days in a hospital after the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party said it gave the leader a break following a "hectic campaigning" period before the May 7 general election.
Mac Maharaj insists Zuma is in good health and has been working hard and long hours at the office.
His comments followed a local newspaper report, which cited sources from the ANC suggesting Zuma is suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes and heart problems. Maharaj rejected the newspaper report as rumor mongering.
"The doctors attending to the president are satisfied, there is no reason or cause to be concerned about his health," said Maharaj. "He is fine he is back fully on duty, at the same time we would like to state clearly that we do not engage in gossip and rumors around his health."
Some analysts have demanded assurances from the presidency arguing the president appeared to have lost weight after he was recently hospitalized.
But Maharaj disagreed, saying the administration has been forthright with South Africans about Zuma's health conditions.
"When the president needed rest we said so publicly, the doctors confirmed it to us. Then the doctors carried out tests, made it a major examination, he was kept in hospital for 24 hours for thorough check up, and they discharged him satisfied with the results, and he is now back with his public engagements, as well as his office work."
"Tiredness is something that affects everybody," Maharaj said. "The president is working extraordinarily long and hard hours."
But some opponents have demanded the presidency provide proof of Zuma's good health, by making it public. Again, Maharaj dismissed the demand as without merit.
"Why do we have to prove rumors and gossips to be unfounded? If we were to spend our time engaging in rumors and gossip, we will spend all our lives just repudiating rumors, and then having to prove, whereas the gossip does not require to be proved," Maharaj said.
Supporters of the ANC say the newspaper report is politically motivated to speculate that President Zuma is unlikely to serve his second full term in office due to poor health. But opponents contend the president's reported poor health conditions should be of concern to all South Africans.
"I don't want to engage with the gossip and rumor mongering around the president's health. I do not want to give them credibility," said Maharaj.

Tribal reform on 'Survivor: Gabon'
Well, well, well, things are starting to heat up on Survivor: Gabon, now that the playing field has been leveled somewhat. Also, the solo immunity idol is in play, and alliances are formed and at loggerheads. This is why Survivor fans love this show! Very soon we'll see how the meat of this season tastes.
One down, one to go. Kota returns to camp after tribal, and Kelly is feeling the heat. As Paloma's lone ally, she herself is alone at camp. Ace is sharpening his fangs (the teeth, not the tribe members) already.
The deck is shuffled. Fang's rice supplies are running low, but Randy seems to be the only one who is taking this fact seriously. I'll be honest, when this all started, I thought Randy would be the guy I hate. Now, he's one of the few on Fang that I like. They may have won the last two challenges, but they are not playing smart, and the cracks are showing. Randy makes allies with Dan, Susie, and Matty, and they are setting their sights squarely on GC.
The tribes show up for this episode's first challenge, one where tribe members must rank each other by their importance to the tribe. Blind votes will determine the order. Matty and Marcus are ranked most important by their respective tribes, while Kelly and Susie are chosen as the least. GC is next to last, "hard out here for a pimp," he quips.
Then comes the twist, as the tribes are re-chosen. Marcus and Matty will now choose new members, armed with the information gained by the rankings. Marcus makes his first choice from the Fang tribe, and turns are taken. Here's how it shakes out:
New Kota: Marcus, Dan, Charlie, Randy, Corinne, Susie, Bob
New Fang, Matty, Ace, Crystal, Jacquie, Ken, Kelly, GC
I'm so happy for Charlie, he can pine away for Marcus without interruption. Ken picks Kelly based on the fact that she is hot. I guess Super Smash Bros. doesn't require a lot of strategy to play. Sugar is the only castaway not chosen, and she is sent to Exile Island (not really an island, more of a peninsula.)
Making new friends, new enemies. The new Kota tribe arrives at their Camp, where old Kota out number old Fang. The old Fang members take notice of how the old Kota tribe works, and prepare to make new friends.
Feeling safe with an immunity idol in her possession, Sugar chooses a bit of comfort at Exile. Personally, I think she should have tried to figure out if there were two immunity idols now in the game, or if the clue would indicate that someone had already found the idol, making any future visits by other castaways to Exile dangerous to her. But I understand that my Spartan lifestyle may not be emulated by someone who calls themselves "Sugar."
At Fang, GC feels blessed by the tribal shake up, like he has a new lease on life. Kelly, formerly on the outs with the old Kota alliances, is getting close to GC, Ken and Crystal. Ace is in trouble, I might not find out what the deal is with that accent...
Worst. Challenge. Performance. Ever. Tree mail comes, and the tribes are given a La Crosse stick to practice with, the assumption being that it will factor in the next immunity challenge. Marcus identifies Randy and Susie as the most likely candidates for elimination. He seems willing to take both of their performances in the upcoming challenge as a barometer for Kota worthiness.
At the immunity challenge, tribes must compete in a game that is a mix of water polo and La Crosse played on small rafts. First tribe to three wins. Kota strikes first, and the next round develops rather laconically, many Fang members playing lackadaisically. Kota scores again, Randy being responsible for two points already. Fang gets a bit more fired up and puts up a struggle next round, but Randy scores on them for a third time. Marcus is no doubt taking notice of Randy's performance. Good for him, not so good for Susie. But the "not so good" prize of the night goes to the entire Fang tribe. Dictionary.com just IM'd me, "Fang" is now a synonym for "pathetic."
New Fang tribe, same Fang story. Fang is despondent, and long faces rule the afternoon. GC, Crystal, and Ken hold a powwow, GC deciding that Ace might be better to keep around than Kelly. The point is brought up that Sugar will soon be arriving at their tribe, an immunity idol potentially (actually) in her possession; an immunity idol that she might pass along to Ace or Jacquie. Deciding Ace is more valuable in challenges, Jacquie is selected for elimination.
Jacquie discovers that her name is in people's mouths, and she sets in on Ken. He seems willing to switch back to voting for Kelly, be he says that she needs to talk to Crystal. Jaq pleads with Crystal to be spared, and Crystal's heart is swayed. The name of the tribal member to be eliminated tonight is not as clear, with any of the old Kota members seeming viable candidates.
The switch is discussed at tribal, as is the Fang curse. It seems that, regardless of the constitution of the Fang tribe, Fang is predisposed to epic poor performances at challenges. Tribe members vote, and Fang selects Jacquie for elimination, a vote inspired by fear of Sugar's immunity idol, it would seem.
The old ways have returned to the Fang tribe. Not only in the form of poor challenge performances, but as doubt, fear, and poor cohesion. GC's disappearing act hinted at in the teaser for next week does not bode well for this tribe. Can Fang turn it around, or will Kota reign supreme once again?

When on a general medicine team, the team assignment consists of an upper level resident, two interns, an attending and one to two medical students. All residents have continuity clinics, including preliminary year interns.
Team Structure
No. of Residents
For our inpatient General Medicine services, our five (5) day call cycle works as follows:
All "cross coverage" of patients is done by a separate night float intern from 5 p.m. – 7 a.m. The night float intern does not admit patients, but solely handles cross-cover issues and assists with codes and other overnight emergencies.
Our house officers care for a vast variety of medical illnesses; including not only the diagnostic dilemmas, but a large amount of "bread and butter" medicine. It is rare that you would have a patient admitted with the diagnosis already made. Our inpatient services are all generalist admitting teams, and we have no subspecialty inpatient admitting services. Thus, when on an inpatient service, you will admit an exciting variety of neurology patients, cardiology patients, heme-onc patients, etc. all on the same night. It is up to your team to decide if you want a subspecialty consultant to assist you with patient management.

If we were putting together a list of the NFL's most underrated players this season, I'd put Terrell Suggs right up there.
Keep an eye on the big linebacker Sunday when the Ravens take on the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field. Because quietly — OK, maybe that's not the word to describe someone who calls himself T-Sizzle — Suggs is putting together another monster season.

A statement from the major powers committing to a nuclear-free Middle East will not result in pressure on Israel, according to two diplomats familiar with the issue.
Reuters reported Wednesday that the five permanent, veto-wielding members of the U.N. Security Council—including the United States—have prepared a unanimous statement committing "to a full implementation of the 1995 NPT resolution on the Middle East and we support all ongoing efforts to this end."
The NPT, or nuclear non-proliferation treaty, commits signatories to not acquiring nuclear weapons or to reducing existing stockpiles. Israel, which is not a signatory, is believed to possess as many as 200 warheads.
In a related story, the Associated Press said U.S. officials were discussing with Israel "practical measures" toward Israel's NPT compliance.
Two diplomats separately told JTA that such discussions would not amount to pressure on Israel to end its nuclear capability.
One of the diplomats said "practical measures" could include a moratorium on testing or setting up a body to deal with nuclear disarmament. Such steps would not affect Israel's alleged existing reserve of nuclear weapons.
It seems clear, however, that any Israeli cooperation in such a venture would require a degree of transparency. Until now, Israel has refused to confirm or deny its nuclear capability.
Talks on NPT compliance, initiated by the United States and under United Nations auspices, are under way in New York.
Egypt is leading an effort to make the Middle East a nuclear-free zone and, with Iran, wants to cite Israel in any such resolution.
The Western diplomats told JTA that the United States and its Western allies would quash any such mention.

When a 8-year old girl opened the door, Pardo began to fire at will, shooting several party attendees--including the 8 year old, though she survived--before setting the house on fire using a spraying device, disguised as a present, to disperse flammable fuel within the home, before a candle or the pilot light ignited it and set the house on fire.
Based on the evidence ($17,000 in cash and a ticket to Canada), it appeared as though he had planned to flee the country after the incident. However, once the fire started, his arm was severely burned and the costume melted to his body. He then fled the scene to his brother's home, where he shot himself in the head. His brother found the body the next day.
