press release
Arusha — The 2nd EAC/AfDB Technical Planning meeting to review the status of implementation of the ongoing projects financed by the Bank concluded today at the EAC Headquarters, in Arusha, Tanzania.
The 24th-25th July 2014 meeting, which attended by officials from the African Development Bank, EAC Organs and Institutions including Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC), Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO), Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA) and the Civil Aviation Safety and Security Oversight Agency (CASSOA), also identified some new projects for consideration by the Bank.
Speaking during the official opening session, the EAC Deputy Secretary General in charge of Planning and Infrastructure, Dr. Enos S. Bukuku, commended the Bank for the excellent support the region continues to enjoy from it on projects and programmes pertaining to roads, railways, maritime transport, customs, energy, civil aviation, airports, OSBPs, ICT, education, gender and community development, environment and natural resources.
He underscored the fact that much more still needs to be done in the areas of infrastructure development, trade facilitation, policy harmonization as well as deepening regional and continental integration. Dr.Bukuku urged AfDB to continue supporting EAC towards achieving the regional development objectives and appealed for support for the 3rd EAC Heads of State Retreat on Infrastructure Development and Financing scheduled for November 2014.
Mr. Baboucarr Sarr, the African Development Bank Lead Policy Expert, commended EAC for moving towards deeper integration and making commendable strides in the quest to create a larger, more integrated and more diversified single economic market in East Africa where goods, services and people will move freely.
He informed the meeting that the Bank's current portfolio in EAC consists of 126 ongoing projects with a total commitment value of US$ 4.1bn. About 70% (US$ 2.9bn) of this amount has been allocated to infrastructure, of which 34% (US$ 1.0bn) in energy, 45% (US$ 1.3bn) in transport, and 15% (US$ 0.61bn) in water. The other 30% has been allocated to agriculture, social sector, finance and multi-sector.
The EAC team updated the Bank on the performance of the projects and programs under implementation, on cooperation Agreement between the Bank and EAC, as well as updates on the preparation for the 3rd EAC Heads of State Retreat on Infrastructure Development and Financing.
The current African Development Fund (ADF) cycle is for the period 2014-2016 and the ADF 14 cycle will cover 2017-2019. The meeting between EAC and the Bank came in good time to identify projects which could be submitted for possible funding under ADF 14.
The 2nd EAC/AfDB Technical Planning Meeting was held in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement between the Bank and EAC of 1998. The first Technical Committee meeting was held on 14th to 15th November 2011. During the first meeting several projects and programmes were identified for possible support by the Bank.

It's a lovely idea. One that can work with other flowers, also. But I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to buy a ready made frame. They are priced very reasonably and in many cases can be found on sale. One could either paint in any way they desire or wrap with paper just as in your example.

Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with either Heart Failure or Acute Myocardial Infarction and Left Ventricular Dysfunction: A Cohort Study
1 Department of Cardiology, Gentofte University Hospital, Niels Andersens Vej 65, 2900 Hellerup, Denmark
2 Department of Cardiology, Roskilde Sygehus, Køgevej 7-13, 4000 Roskilde, Denmark
3 Department of Cardiology, The Heart Center, Rigshospitalet, Blegdamsvej 9, 2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark
4 Department of Cardiology, Glostrup University Hospital, Nordre Ringvej 57, 2600 Glostrup, Denmark
5 Department of Cardiology, Bispebjerg University Hospital, Bispebjerg Bakke, 2400 Copenhagen NV, Denmark
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders 2011, 11:19 doi:10.1186/1471-2261-11-19Published: 14 May 2011
We examined the incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Patients either had a recent myocardial infarction (with or without clinical heart failure) or symptomatic heart failure (without a recent MI). Patients were with and without treatment with the class III antiarrhythmic drug dofetilide over 36 months.
The Danish Investigations of Arrhythmia and Mortality ON Dofetilide (DIAMOND) studies included 2627 patients without atrial fibrillation at baseline, who were randomised to treatment with either dofetilide or placebo.
The competing risk analyses estimated the cumulative incidences of atrial fibrillation during the 42 months of follow-up to be 9.6% in the placebo-treated heart failure-group, and 2.9% in the placebo-treated myocardial infarction-group.
Cox proportional hazard regression found a 42% significant reduction in the incidence of new-onset AF when assigned to dofetilide compared to placebo (hazard ratio 0.58, 95% confidence interval 0.40-0.82) and there was no interaction with study (p = 0.89).
In the heart failure-group, the incidence of atrial fibrillation was significantly reduced to 5.6% in the dofetilide-treated patients (hazard ratio 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.38-0.86).
In the myocardial infarction-group the incidence of atrial fibrillation was reduced to 1.7% with the administration of dofetilide. This reduction was however not significant (hazard ratio 0.61, 95% confidence interval 0.30-1.24).
In patients with left ventricular dysfunction the incidence of AF in 42 months was 9.6% in patients with heart failure and 2.9% in patients with a recent MI. Dofetilide significantly reduced the risk of developing atrial fibrillation compared to placebo in the entire study group and in the subgroup of patients with heart failure. The reduction in the subgroup with recent MI was not statistically significant, but the hazard ratio was similar to the hazard ratio for the heart failure patients, and there was no difference between the effect in the two studies (p = 0.89 for interaction).

When men and women are younger, they tend to have more sex, but the quality increases with age. "As she gets older, she'll lose a lot of inhibitions and become more comfortable with her body," Brame says. "And that's probably the single most important thing in sex—feeling at home in your own body."

Select Local Merchants
SideTour - LeisureRead MoreSound Excursions describes their carefully curated group experiences as "field trips for adults." It's easy to see why: every outing takes groups to a new realm of Washington, whether it's the frothy shores of Puget Sound, inland forests and mountains, or tables at Seattle's thriving restaurants. The events held at these diverse locations range from culinary workshops on topics such as sushi-making and moonshine-tasting, to adventurous excursions with whitewater rafting or kayaking, to laid-back themed party cruises. For many outings, luxury transportation is provided.422 Main StreetNew York, NY US
Golden Sunshine CruiseRead MoreAs the morning or afternoon sun sparkles across the waters of Sheepshead Bay, Captain Joe Lind takes a deep breath of salty air and fires up the engines of his luxury catamaran, the Golden Sunshine. Though Lind's vessel can carry up to 350 passengers to private events on Rockaway Beach and the Jersey Coast, its spacious decks and cabins play host to smaller groups on fishing charters. During these trips, the Golden Sunshine's crew supplies prospective anglers with all of the equipment, tackle, and knowledge they need to reel in a hearty catch of fluke, which they promptly filet to ensure freshness. When they aren't scanning the azure waters for signs of fluke or Russian submarines, the crew leads tours to view fireworks celebrations and offers private charters on select evenings.Pier 4 sheepshead bayBrooklyn, NY US
Sea Queen VIIRead MoreAs the snow-white prow of the ship slices through the slate-gray waters of Sheepshead Bay, waves lap up and kiss the green lettering on the side reading Sea Queen VII. Helmed by seasoned skipper Captain Steve, the 85-foot vessel is on one of its family-oriented fishing expeditions. Captain Steve and his knowledgeable crew ensure the ship's safe passage as passengers focus on casting their lines from the wide beam or basking in the fresh air breezing across the sun deck. The mouthwatering aromas of pizza and grilled burgers flood the ship's galley, beckoning guests to take a break from fishing for a casual bite to eat. Accommodating all schedules and fishing preferences, Captain Steve takes passengers out on morning and afternoon trips as well as late night excursions to reel in nocturnal fish and insomniac merpeople.2250 Emmons Ave.Brooklyn, NY US
Capt's LadyRead MoreAbout the 55? Capt?s Lady charter-fishing vessel, fishers of all experience levels angle for fluke, striped bass, bluefish, or porgy in Brooklyn?s Sheepshead Bay. The boat?s twin Detroit Diesel engines keep things motoring while an experienced crew of happily grizzled seafarers make the experience fun and easy. When they?re not helping newcomers get used to fishing?s nuances, they?re happy to answer other questions; go ahead and ask them about the biggest fish they?ve ever caught, or about that time they mistook the Statue of Liberty for a really big mermaid. Recently renovated, the ship also includes creature comforts such as an onboard bathroom, snack bar, and cabin seating.2100 Emmons AveBrooklyn, NY US
The Lady MidnightRead MoreLoaded down with affable gangs of amateur fishermen, the Lady Midnight and her sister ship, the Captain Midnight, set off from Brooklyn's Pier 1 for full- and half-day charter fishing trips. After hooking the provided bait, passengers drop in their lines and patiently await bites from species such as fluke and porgy in the summer or blackfish and ling throughout the rest of the year. On the trip back to port, the boat's deckhands assist with cleaning and packaging the fresh catch. Owners can then take home their catch to toss on the grill or use to catch an even bigger fish in their bathtub that doubles as a lake.2600 Emmons AvenueNew York, NY US
Peace TokenRead MoreWelcome to Peace Token Tackle! My name is Mike Jung. I opened my shop because of my love for fishing, especially jigging. Peace Token Fishing Tackle has all the quality supplies a fisherman demands. Peace Token Fishing Tackle specializes in jigging and I have introduced many anglers into jigging over the years.5319 Roosevelt AveWoodside, NY US

'Spidey' Director's Role Is Cut
Celebrated director Julie Taymor was ousted Wednesday from the helm of "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," as producers instituted a new artistic team to massively overhaul the troubled production.
Ms. Taymor, a Tony Award winner who has overseen virtually every detail of the $70 million-plus musical over the past nine years, retains the title of director but accepted a significantly diminished role in the production. She will cede control of the show after March 15, according to a spokesman for the production, Rick Miramontez. Until Wednesday, that day had been the latest opening date for the chronically delayed show.
The show is now scheduled to open in June, which will render it ineligible for consideration for the 2011 Tony Awards.
Timeline: 'Spider-Man' Tangled Web
"The additional time commitment required by this new plan will make it impossible for director and co-book writer Julie Taymor to continue on in her day-to-day duties with the production," according to a statement released Wednesday night by Mr. Miramontez.
A spokeswoman for Ms. Taymor, Mara Buxbaum, said the director had no comment.
Producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah Harris have hired "The Boy From Oz" director Philip William McKinley to oversee staging and Spider-Man comic writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa to rework the book.
It wasn't immediately clear whether the changes would demand the show go on hiatus, though people familiar with the matter have signaled that revisions of the scale demanded by producers in recent days would require the production to shutter for at least one or two weeks.
A frequent professional collaborator and longtime friend of Ms. Taymor, Jeffrey Horowitz, speaking Wednesday but before the official announcement, said the upheaval "seems to be forced upon her [and is] not a decision she's making herself."
Mr. Horowitz, founding artistic director of Theatre for a New Audience, who produced "The Green Bird" on Broadway with Ms. Taymor in 2000, sympathized with her apparent resistance to demands that she accept assistance. "It's sort of like changing horses in midstream," he said. "I don't see how she can do that."
Other recent additions to the artistic staff include musical consultant Paul Bogaev and sound designer Peter Hylenski, both of whom began work on the production several weeks ago.
Mr. McKinley's previous Broadway directing credit, "The Boy From Oz" starring Hugh Jackman, was a mixed success. Though Mr. Jackman received raves and a Tony Award for his performance, many critics complained that the musical as a whole fell flat.
In recent days, as producers plotted to revamp "Spider-Man" and institute an additional artistic team, Ms. Taymor rejected the prospect of collaborating with other creative forces, according to a person familiar with the matter. She wasn't involved in all of the recent talks with producers about the show's future, according to another person familiar with the matter.
What amounts to Ms. Taymor's demotion is the coda to nearly a decade of tumultuous "Spider-Man" development, a period during which intensifying expectations for what has been billed as the most technically and creatively ambitious production in Broadway history threatened to outpace even its rapidly escalating costs. The involvement of U2's Bono and the Edge, who wrote the music, amplified the show's star power.
Though celebrated for her work on Disney's hugely successful "Lion King" musical and on films such as "Frida" and "The Tempest," Ms. Taymor has also frequently been described as a micromanager, accused of devoting all her attention to the details of a production while turning a blind eye to budget.
In recent months, she has endured not only a withering series of critical reviews, but also accusations that her technically complex production, which involves numerous aerial stunts, has endangered the "Spider-Man" cast. Between September and December of last year, four actors were injured in accidents, prompting workplace-safety investigations by federal and state agencies.
Still, her imagination and unblinking attention to her creative product have inspired a devoted following among her colleagues.
Producers briefed the cast on the latest developments before Wednesday night's performance, according to Charlie Siedenburg, a spokesman for Green Goblin actor Patrick Page, who said Ms. Taymor's absence could prove difficult for actors like Mr. Page who have grown close to her.
"If she's not in the building, he misses her," Mr. Siedenburg said, referring to Mr. Page.

Advances in Applied Self-organizing Systems

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe main challenge faced by designers of self-organizing systems is how to validate and control non-deterministic dynamics. Over-engineering the system may completely suppress self-organization with an outside influence, eliminating emergent patterns and decreasing robustness, adaptability and scalability. Whilst leaving too much non-determinism in the system's behaviour may make its verification and validation almost impossible. This book presents the state-of-the-practice in successfully engineered self-organizing systems, and examines ways to balance design and self organization in the context of applications.As demonstrated throughout, finding this balance helps to deal with diverse practical challenges. The book begins with the more established fields of traffic management and structural health monitoring, building up towards robotic teams, solving challenging tasks deployed in tough environments. The second half of the book follows with a deeper look into the micro-level, and considers local interactions between agents. less

Don't forget, as per the nyquist limit, you probably want to double the resolution so you don't see jaggies in your diagonal lines. This is why printed text on paper is *still* better than HiDPI screens.
Notes by Dr. Optoglass: The Resolution of the Human Eye
Topics Covered:
Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks at it when it has been in the house three days? – George Bernard Shaw
As we have seen earlier, the average visual acuity of the human eye is one arc minute. The maximum possible is 0.4 arc minutes. It would be a very rare human indeed who can beat 0.4 arc minutes!
Therefore, we can safely say that the average resolution of a good eye is between 0.4 and 1 arc minute. Before these figures can be translated to pixels or displays, one needs to realize that the size of the pixel will vary with distance.
What's the formula?
d is the distance in mm
α is the angle in degrees
A very young child can focus at about 2 inches, but the average adult can focus no closer than 4 inches (100 mm). We can assume the lowest value of d to be 100 mm. At this distance, the pixel/dot size p is 0.0116 mm or 11.6 microns – for 0.4 arc minutes. For 1 arc minute, it works out to be 29 microns.
An inch is 25.4mm. So how many of our pixels can fit into an inch? @0.4 arc minutes, it is 2190 ppi (dpi). @1 arc minute, it is 876 ppi (dpi)
Maximum Resolution of the Eye
So this is how it is. If a healthy adult brings any display screen or printed paper or whatever 4 inches (100 mm) from his or her face, the maximum resolution he/she can see at is 2190 ppi/dpi. It doesn't get any better than this for 99.99% of us, except maybe during pre-kindergarten years.
But the legally accepted norm of 20/20 vision only asks for 876 ppi/dpi at 4 inches!
Let's have some fun:
Magazines and Fine Art Prints
If the average reading distance is 1 foot (12 inches = 305 mm), p @0.4 arc minute is 35.5 microns or about 720 ppi/dpi. p @1 arc minute is 89 microns or about 300 dpi/ppi. This is why magazines are printed at 300 dpi – it's good enough for most people. Fine art printers aim for 720, and that's the best it need be. Very few people stick their heads closer than 1 foot away from a painting or photograph.
Computer Monitors
The average computer monitor viewing distance is about 2.5 feet (762 mm). email@example.com is 89 microns or about 300 ppi/dpi. p@1 is 222 microns or about 115 ppi/dpi. Now you can understand why most consumer computer monitors are about 100 ppi, and most professional computer monitors are slightly higher, but not by much.
The new iPad (3) has a resolution of 264 ppi, which isn't as good as 300 dpi print but is much better than the average computer monitor. The new Eizo 36.4″ professional air traffic control 4K monitor is at 128 ppi.
Home television
Assuming the average viewing distance for television is 6 feet (1830 mm), firstname.lastname@example.com is about 120 ppi and p@1 is about 50 ppi.
Most consumer large screen LCD and LED panels are about 50 ppi to 90 ppi, and average about 72 ppi. Now you know why. If your television gets smaller in size, then the higher ppi doesn't really help. This is why 1920×1080 (at 100 ppi at 6 feet for a 50″ LCD/LED television panel) is good enough. The eye can't really resolve a lot more at 6 feet.
The width of a cinema screen can vary from 30 to 70 feet (360″ to 840″, 9144 mm to 21,336 mm). The closest viewing distance recommended is about 40 feet (3x height) – 12,192 mm. If one is projecting 2K on these screens, the ppi is about 2.4 ppi to 5.7 ppi. If one is projecting 4K, it is about 5 ppi to 11.4 ppi.
Is this what the eye needs?
email@example.com works out to be 1.4 mm or 18 ppi.
p@1 works out to be 3.5 mm or 7 ppi.
As you can see, 4K comes very close to what the human eye can fully resolve in a cinema screen at average viewing distances. Obviously, many people sit in the front row, and they'd definitely appreciate higher resolution. Which is why we are moving towards:
8K and UHDTV
A 30 to 70 feet screen at 8K (8192 horizontal) gives me from 9.75 ppi to 22.8 ppi. This resolution beats what the eye can resolve at these distances. The future belongs to 8K.
But, to get 18 ppi (the best possible resolution) for a 70 feet screen, we'll need a horizontal resolution of 15120 or 16K. This is about 128 Megapixels. Is anybody working on this?
This is as good as it gets in 2012.

Please share this primer with your friends:
July 21, 2012
I don't understand the angle part of this? The angle is never listed for any of these calculations. How does that part work? What angles are you putting into the formula. Can you post examples that enter specifics for all of the variables rather than just the screen size and distance?
Under the "Home Television" section, you mentioned that a 1920x1080, 50" display is 100 dpi. But, according to pxcalc.com, that combination only gets you to 38.4 dpi. How are you getting 100 dpi?? Thanks.
@Jojo323 Please read the rest of Driving Miss Digital. It's all there.
@Vimal Gopal
With your data (1920 x 1080 @ 50" display, the pixel density is 44.06 pixels per inch (ppi), not 38.4 ppi.
See with online calculator here: http://pixeldensitycalculator.com/
@Vimal Gopal The formula is available, Vimal. What results are you getting?
@Sareesh Sudhakaran
it would just be very very helpful if for one single example the actual numbers were put into the formula so we could see it. the article is great overall but because that is missing it is very hard to grasp

[…] According to his article, Dr. Optoglass tells us that the perfect resolution of the eye can see 2190 PPI at 4 inches from the screen. However, none of us holds our phones that close to our faces, at least I hope you don't, because that actually is bad for your eyes. In addition, the average visual acuity of a human is about 1 arc minute, which simply refers to a person with 20/20 vision. A person with 20/20 vision at 4 inches (the closest a healthy adult can focus) can see up to 876 PPI, which is considerably lower than the ideal eye, which can see at .4 arc minutes. […]

[…] In summary, it seems that at this moment in time for mobile you do well to get anything north of 300. For computers you are doing well with anything north of 200. Resolution of a screen has to do with the distance you are from it. From a distance, your eyes can only make out so much, but from up close you can see much more details. You hold your mobile phone closer to your eyes than you would hold your monitor, so you need a higher resolution on your mobile phone. It seems PPI much higher than 300 could be well worth it, and there are already models out with far higher numbers, but at this moment, 300+ will do. Incidentally, 300 is what most magazines print on (measures in Dots Per Inch), so this is why we are now seeing a move towards 300. More reading here and here. […]
[…] PPI of 538 is far beyond the maximum resolution that the human eye can recognize. There is a bit of controversy as to what the highest practical PPI is for a 5.5 inch screen held 12-18 inches away from the eye, […]

UK's Labour woos Liberal Democrats to form govt
"I fail to see how trying to bring together six different parties - and even then not having a majority - will bring the degree of stability we need," he said. "It may be perceived as acting in our own self-interest. The public aren't daft."
While uncertainty prevails, one thing is certain: The career of Brown - the Treasury chief who waited a decade in the wings for his chance to become prime minister - is ending.
Brown accepted blame Monday for Labour's loss of 91 seats in last week's election and its failure to win a parliamentary majority.
No other party won outright either, resulting in the first "hung Parliament" since 1974 and triggering a frantic scramble for who will create the next government.
"As leader of my party, I must accept that that is a judgment on me," Brown said, offering to step down before the Labour party conference in September.
Monday's drama deepened the postelection limbo that many feared could further undermine confidence in Europe's financial markets.
The British pound traded at $1.485 Tuesday morning, up from its overnight low of $1.478 but down from around $1.50 before Brown's announcement.

WASHINGTON — After two years as a medical school resident for the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, Aaron Rhyner sees 14 patients a day, works 50 to 80 hours each week and earns roughly $50,000 a year.
Rhyner, 29, of Tacoma, Wash., calls his work something special, a chance to make a difference. Hes also doing his part to help fix a growing national shortage of primary care physicians, which is expected to approach 52,000 by 2025, hitting rural regions and Indian reservations the hardest.
Amid fears that the U.S. wont keep up with the rising demand, Congress is under increased pressure to respond.
Experts say the national shortage is fueled by more doctor retirements, an aging and more rapidly growing population and more people enrolled in insurance coverage. And many worry that if the government doesnt intervene, too many low-income Americans will simply get locked out of the U.S. health care system.
If you call up and you cant get an appointment because there arent any primary care physicians, youre not getting access to health care, Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state said in an interview.
Rhyner already owes his job to Congress, which four years ago included $230 million in its landmark health care law to pay for the training of 550 graduate residents in 24 states.
With that funding set to expire next year, Murray wants Congress to spend another $495 million to keep the training program going until 2019.
Murray, the head of the Senate Budget Committee and a veteran Senate appropriator, said her home state is expected to be nearly 1,700 doctors short by 2030.
She called the Puyallup tribe in western Washington state a prime example of a community that needs government help.
When the tribe created its residency program for medical school graduates three years ago, it had only two medical residents, including Rhyner.
This year the tribe is training 10 doctors, using $1.5 million in federal grant money. Its facility opened as the first osteopathic family medicine residency in the country with a Native American focus. Now there are two, with Oklahomas Choctaw Nation running a similar program. In Washington state, federal officials this year also awarded money for training programs in Yakima, Spokane and Toppenish.
Nationwide, a total of 60 graduate programs are operating in two dozen states this year, including California, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Alan Shelton, clinical director for the Puyallup Tribal Health Authority, said most doctors are trained in big hospitals and are uncomfortable with the prospect of working on a reservation. As a result, he said, most tribes have a hard time recruiting doctors.
Generally, the pay is less and the work might be more difficult. So you have to find somebody with a big heart, Shelton said.
Shelton said he searches for young doctors willing to forgo big-city salaries. Instead, he wants residents who appreciate the benefits and the beauty of working in a smaller community and who want to make a personal connection with patients.
We dont want to just train technicians _ we want to train healers, Shelton said. And the way we train healers is we connect them to the Native American community and they learn about ideas of wellness and spirituality. And when they connect with patients, they connect with them on a deep level.
Rhyner fit the job description, with Shelton calling him a doctor whos really committed to taking care of people that have limited options.
Rhyner said that most of his medical school classmates at Pacific Northwest University wanted to work in specialty fields that pay more, but he wanted to focus on family medicine and get a chance to do everything.
A non-Indian who grew up in Alaska but traveled extensively, he said he liked the idea of working on a reservation and getting to join a start-up residency program, where he could help shape it.
I have kind of an eclectic background in the sense that my mom is from Pakistan and my dad is from Minnesota, Rhyner said. So Ive lived all over the world. . . . Ive experienced third-world countries and areas where they dont have an opportunity to get access to good health care. It makes such a huge difference when we are there and we can help them.
When he came to the reservation, Rhyner said, he wanted to experience the community. He has done just that, attending pow-wows, participating in sweat-lodge ceremonies and the like.
I see my patients there, and they see me, and it creates such a better connection that I really understand what theyre going through and what their life is like, Rhyner said. Everybody knows everybody.
He said he has gotten an up-close look at drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness and diabetes, all issues that are more prevalent among Indians. And he said that exposure will only aid his future work: Its not something that Im going to be afraid of.
Rhyner, who uses a hand-beaded stethoscope thats a hit with his patients, said he takes a mind-body-spirit approach to his practice, helping it meld with Native culture. And he said he often discusses proper eating with patients and asks about their spiritual practices.
If someone has back pain, I can work on their back pain not just with medication, but with my hands, Rhyner said. They dont want to be on medication a lot of times. Their culture is more towards using herbs and berries and other things to heal themselves, and theyve been doing that for thousands of years, and this is like an adjunct to that.
He worried when one of his patients, a woman in her 70s with congestive heart failure, told him that she that she wanted to go a sweat lodge ceremony as soon as she left the hospital. But Rhyner said he only issued precautions, telling her not to get dehydrated and to watch for any signs of breathing difficulties when she subjected herself to hours of intense heat.
I know the level of endurance that you need for a ceremony like this, but I also know how important it is for them to cleanse their soul, Rhyner said.
While the Affordable Care Act that expanded health care coverage has become a political target for many Republicans, ridiculed by many critics as Obamacare, Murray said the teaching program deserves to be extended.
Look, this was part of the bill that has turned out very successful, she said. We are expanding on that.
On July 31, Murray introduced a bill _ the Community-Based Medical Education Act of 2014 _ to keep the program running at its current level through 2019. At that point, her bill would establish permanent funding under Medicare to train primary-care physicians in community-based settings, creating another 1,500 new residency slots nationwide.
Murray has her work cut out for her, even though no opposition has yet emerged. She introduced her bill right before Congress left Washington for its long summer recess. So far, she has yet to line up any co-sponsors, and no similar legislation has been introduced in the Republican-led House.
Murray wants to pay for her bill by redirecting part of the funding that now goes toward reimbursing already established teaching hospitals, which are generally in large urban areas.
Were trying to change that, so that were actually training doctors in rural settings or tribal settings so that they will then be employed there, where we have the highest need, Murray said.
At the Puyallup reservation, none of the residents in the program are Indians. Shelton said thats because very few Native Americans are enrolled in medical schools, but hes hoping to lure one to the tribes program next year. He wants Congress to extend the program, too.
In the meantime, Rhyner plans to complete his residency next June. Hes uncertain what his future holds, but his goal is to work as a family practitioner in Indian Country, hopefully in Washington state.
You kind of go where youve been taught to be, said Rhyner.

DC is on rates and unit rates, something I don't really fully understand. I mean, I can often "figure out the problems" but I have a feeling I'm missing something with this problem. DC will get some help at school tomorrow but wanted me to try to explain it to her tonight. Added bonus is that DH and I are at odds over how to solve this problem. Give it a shot! Extra points for those able to explain the method - especially if the method relates to the subject of rates/unit rates.
"Kevin can walk 2/3 of a mile in 2/5 of an hour. He lives 1 mile from school. Us this information to complete the statements. At this rate, Kevin can walk X miles in 1 hour. At this rate, it will take Kevin X hours to walk to school."
Troll? Here's me...
Here's how I'd solve it:
If Kevin can walk 2/3 of a mile in 2/5 of an hour, how many miles can he walk in 1/5 of an hour? 1/5 is half of 2/5, so I will divide the amount he can walk in 2/5 of an hour (2/3 mile) by 2. 2/3 divided by 2 is 1/3.
If Kevin can walk 1/3 of a mile in 1/5 of an hour, how many miles can he walk in 1 hour? How many fifths are in hour? 5. So I would multiply the amount he can in 1/5 of an hour (1/3 of mile) by 5. 1/3 times 5 is 5/3 miles or 1 and 2/3 miles.
So the answer to the first statement is Kevin can walk 1 and 2/3 miles in 1 hour.
Since it's 1 mile to school, how many 1/3 miles is that? 3. So I would take the amount of time that it takes to walk 1/3 mile (1/5 of an hour) and multiply that by 3. 1/5 times 3 is 3/5 hours.
So the answer to the second statement is At this rate, it will take Kevin 3/5 of an hour to walk to school.
I love these kinds of problems.
Head over to the Holiday Helper forum and be a part of this wonderful Mothering tradition!
Wondering about Mothering in general? Check out Mothering's User Agreement!
It's YOU!! Love it! Ok, off to read how you did it...
Troll? Here's me...
Ok, I've read it - it's official - unit rates are totally over my head. And, HHM, you have just sided with my DH, thankyouverymuch.
We may be keeping this between the two of us (and all of MDC). I will, however, be sharing your explanation to DC.
Troll? Here's me...
ETA I just say the first question. 1/3 of a mile per 1/5 hour so 5/3 miles or 1 2/3 miles
Ding, ding, ding!! We have a winner. THIS I understand.
This question was just so funky for me. I wanted to go to converting the fractions to decimals but then I got really confused... Ok, keeping in mind that this is NOT my homework. But, it wasn't really DC's either. It was school work that the teacher didn't finish going over and he asked the kids to take the work home. I don't think he realized who much DC didn't understand the lesson and I'm SURE it would have been fine for DC to go in with it unfinished because she didn't understand.
But, you know what happened? DH and I just got totally obsessed with trying to figure it out. It was pretty hysterical. CLEARLY he and I need a break from family life. Good thing we're going way tomorrow - woot!
Troll? Here's me...
But wait -- is it just a coincidence that the answer is 3/5 and 5/3? Yes, exposing my utter lack of mathematical intuition. My poor children. ;-) Ok, and one more funny thought -- I am the one who posted that whole thread about what constitutes doing your child's homework. I got a lot of good responses but the best one would have been, "As if!"
Wait -- one more question. Why did you both know to stick in the fractions realm? I asked my brother and he spit out an answer in like 30 seconds that I think was "right" but it was in numbers/decimals. It was something like 1.6/.4 or something like that. Would that have been "correct" or is math at this stage very much about sticking to the method? (I do realize that this is a better question for the teacher but I'm looking for a more general answer about math education/principals).
Troll? Here's me...
My method is to divide distance (2/3mi) with time (2/5hr) to get miles/hr.
When you're dividing fractions, you just flip the divisor and multiply it.
So that is:
2/3 x 5/2 = 5/3mi/hr
so 5mi/3h = 1mi/x hr
x= 3/5hr or 36min
My guess is that this may be what DC is taught today in school. I'll tell her about your way of approaching the problem right now - thanks!
Troll? Here's me...
"Let me see you stripped down to the bone. Let me hear you speaking just for me."
Troll? Here's me...
(Your brother is wrong. Well, your brother was close, but the teacher probably wants the exact answer.)
I can't resist. I love explaining these things. It is NOT a coincidence that the 3/5 and the 5/3 popped up. The problem was carefully designed so that things cancel to make the solution faster. This problem is actually easier to solve if you DON'T simplifiy or convert into decimals. The way I solve it is to keep track of the units. That way, I don't really even have to think.
Here is my attempt at explaining:
Rate needs to end up in miles per hour. So, we have 2/3 mile, and we have 2/5 hour. Because we want to end up with miles per hour, we probably want to divide the thing with the mile, by the thing with the hour. So that is why you need to take the 2/3 and divide by the 2/5.
(2/3) mile (2/3) mile 2 * 5 mile 5 mile
Rate = --------------------------- = -------------- ------- = ------------ -------- = ----- -----
(2/5) hr (2/5) hr 3 * 2 hr 3 hr
Great! The rate ended up in mph!
Next, to figure out the time.
Well, time needs to end up in hours. We've got something in miles per hour (rate), and we've got something in miles (distance). So if we take the something in miles, and divide it by the something in miles per hour, we will get hours. So that is why it makes sense to use
time = distance / rate:
distance 1 mile (1 mile) (3 hr) 3
time = -------------- = ----------------------- = ----------------------- = ------ hr
rate 5 mile (5 mile) 5
----- --------
3 hr
But because we think in minutes, instead of in hours, you now have the question: How many minutes is time = 3/5 hr ?
Well, we know that 60 minute = 1 hour, so you can just take your time in hours (the 3/5 hr), and multiply the numerator and denominator by the same time interval:
3 hr 60 min 3 x 12 hr x min
time = ------------- x --------------- = ------------ ------------ = 36 minutes
5 1 hr 1 x 1 hr
BTW, to figure out the rate (rate = 5/3 mph) in decimals, you just take the 5 and divide it by 3, and you get rate = 1.67 mph.
But I assume the teacher would prefer to be given the answer in the form of rate = 5/3 mph.
I apologize if this is as clear as mud, but I promise you that it is 100% correct.
By now, this answer probably comes to you too late, but just think how smart you'll sound when your dd gets home from school this afternoon!
Watch out, ya'll...my DC has like 8 more years of math and MDC members are my new favorite resource. Screw Kahn Academy (j/k, I love him too!).
Troll? Here's me...
Wait -- one more question. Why did you both know to stick in the fractions realm? I asked my brother and he spit out an answer in like 30 seconds that I think was "right" but it was in numbers/decimals. It was something like 1.6/.4 or something like that. Would that have been "correct" or is math at this stage very much about sticking to the method? (I do realize that this is a better question for the teacher but I'm looking for a more general answer about math education/principals).
My guess is that your brother probably spit out 0.6 / 1.67. Your brother probably saw the 5/3, and converted it to decimals, which is 1.67, and he probably saw the 3/5, and converted it to decimals, which is 0.6. Then it looks like for some reason he mistakenly thought that you have to divide these two numbers, so that is where the 0.6 / 1.67 came from. (That's actually wrong.)
But how did we know to keep it all in fractions and not to mess with the decimals?
Two reasons.
Well, very few people can do 0.6 / 1.67 in their head. They have to resort to fractions or you have to resort to a calculator. (Many people have a different opinion, which is fine, but I happen to believe that reliance on a calculator is an unhealthy thing. I prefer to resort to fractions.) If you have fractions, you can cancel things out until you cancel it down to something simple that you can do in your head.
For example, if I see 0.6 / 1.67, this is what I do. I think to myself that 1.67 is the same as 5/3, and that 0.6 is the same as 6/10. So then when I want to calculate 0.6 / 1.67, this is what I do:
0.6 (6/10) 6x3 (2x3) x 3 9
----- = -------- = ------- = ------------ = ----- .
1.67 (5/3) 5 x 10 5x(2x5) 25
Now, what is 9/25 in decimals? Well, if you have 1/25 of a dollar, you have four cents. So if you have 9/25 of a dollar, you have 36 cents, which is the same as $0.36 . So 9/25 = 0.36
So 0.6/1.67 = 0.36
Remember I said that your brother saw the 5/3 and said it is the same as 1.67? Well that's not entirely true. it's close to 1.67, but of course, 5/3 is actually 1.66666666666
So when your brother converted to decimals, that guarantees that he is not going to get the exact answer, just close to the exact answer. And for most real life situations, that will be just fine. (But it won't be exactly correct for those people who care about that kind of thing. This may include the teacher.)
Now you will really sound smart when your daughter gets home from school :D
Yep—what they said. Just rest assured that the math only gets harder. I did this one in my head. I did have to stop and think about it, but I've had practice. Dd1 is in 7th grade now and this was pretty easy compared to her homework, most of which I can no longer do in my head at all.
Fractions are both easier and more accurate in this case than decimals since you're dealing with 2/3rds which can't be expressed as a simple decimal. You have to put one of those lines over the repeating digit in the decimal form to be accurate with 1.6666666666666666666...
Dd1 has a problem of the week each week which is often a logic problem. This problem reminds me of that, but a bit more straightforward. Here's one of her problems of the week that I remember. It's a classic logic puzzle, so if you've seen it before you know the answer.
Ok, you have 3 drawers of socks labeled "white", "black", and "mixed" (meaning, both white and black), but someone has played around with the labels and all the drawers are now labeled wrong. Your job is to close your eyes and pick one sock out of one drawer and then open your eyes, look at the sock you pulled out, and relabel the drawers correctly. You can't look in any of the drawers. How do you do this?
In class these past few weeks they've been doing volume, such as volume of a square based pyramid vs a triangle based pyramid as well as rates and conversions. I am not an exceptionally mathy person, so DH usually helps her with this stuff.

I took algebra in college not TOO long ago (like maybe 4 years ago) so when DC gets to that maybe I'll be back on track. I swear, I don't remember anything like what she's learning now. I spoke with another parent who has a child who switched from the same school as my DC and she said that this child is just not starting to click with this school's curriculum but only by working with her parents much more than my DC does now. I tried to do some work again with DC tonight and it was over my head again. ;-) At least she says she understood it. Fun, fun, fun!

But yes you can edit grub.conf.
Thanks jpmcc and Groovel76. I'm learning Linux slowly, but I hope surely. Your reference to OS is I think a referernce to choose which Kernel, i.e. 2.6.9-1.667. Groovel76, you mentioned that you removed the splash screen line from grub.conf. Can you elaborate on which line that was. I am going to make a backup of my grub.conf and just remove the four letters rhgb and see if I get a correct boot.
I had 6111 running under FC2 and was playing doom3-demo. FC3 doesn't have the source code readily available
and so I have to try 6629, unless I want to go through the hell of installing the source code. Driver 6629 freezes at the NVIDIA splash screen in FC3 and FC2 on my machine.
AMD 1700+ Palomino/Soyo K7VTAPro/512MB Ram/Leadtek MX4000
I removed the rhgb and installed 6629 with appropriate changes to xorg.conf and copied the files to etc/udev/devices as well as doing an rpm -e on Mesa-libGL modules. It still hangs on the NVIDIA splash screen after startx. Just going to let this rest for a week. If,by then, no updates from NVIDIA, I'll remove the files no longer needed and stay at regular x session without NVIDIA drivers or the possibility of completing doom3-demo.

. Reason: Still won't get past the NVIDIA splash screen.
