About Zambia
Although Zambia has experienced 12 straight years of impressive economic growth and its average income of $1,460 makes it a lower-middle-income country, that growth has not benefited the two-thirds of Zambians who live in poverty. Reflecting considerable U.S. Government investment over time in one of the countries most affected by HIV/AIDS, some social indicators have improved, with life expectancy at birth now at 52 years (up from 39) and maternal mortality at 591 per 100,000 live births (down from 729). The country's challenge is to promote broad-based, pro-poor economic growth, create employment and develop its human capital. Accordingly, USAID's assistance concentrates on increasing agriculture-led economic growth to reduce rural poverty and food insecurity; improving the health of Zambians; reducing the incidence and impact of HIV/AIDS; raising the quality of basic education; and enhancing democratic governance.

- Project SEMACODE : a scale-invariant object recognition system for content-based queries in image databases (1999)
- For the efficient management of large image databases, the automated characterization of images and the usage of that characterization for searching and ordering tasks is highly desirable. The purpose of the project SEMACODE is to combine the still unsolved problem of content-oriented characterization of images with scale-invariant object recognition and modelbased compression methods. To achieve this goal, existing techniques as well as new concepts related to pattern matching, image encoding, and image compression are examined. The resulting methods are integrated in a common framework with the aid of a content-oriented conception. For the application, an image database at the library of the university of Frankfurt/Main (StUB; about 60000 images), the required operations are developed. The search and query interfaces are defined in close cooperation with the StUB project "Digitized Colonial Picture Library". This report describes the fundamentals and first results of the image encoding and object recognition algorithms developed within the scope of the project.

- Credit card fraud detection by adaptive neural data mining (1999)
- The prevention of credit card fraud is an important application for prediction techniques. One major obstacle for using neural network training techniques is the high necessary diagnostic quality: Since only one financial transaction of a thousand is invalid no prediction success less than 99.9% is acceptable. Due to these credit card transaction proportions complete new concepts had to be developed and tested on real credit card data. This paper shows how advanced data mining techniques and neural network algorithm can be combined successfully to obtain a high fraud coverage combined with a low false alarm rate.

Vita Litvak: A Solo Photography Exhibiti on
Vita Litvak, a 2002 Haverford College graduate and current visiting assistant professor of fine arts, grew up in Tiraspol, the capital of the self-declared post-Soviet nation of Transnistria. Litvak's family immigrated to the United States and settled in Philadelphia shortly after the violent civil war that raged through the region in the summer of 1992. But her photos and videos are still informed by her experiences of migration and investigate its effects on perception, identity, and subjectivity.
Returning to Transnistria for a short stay in the fall of 2011, Litvak found her homeland an arresting reminder of lost potential, failed Communist ideologies, and false promises. Я Подарю Тебе Мир (I Will Give You the World) and Other Promises from Transnistria, an exhibit of her photos that opens in the Haverford College Atrium Gallery on Feb. 7, features photos from that trip that depict both a physical place and a personal space full of memories. Through her use of light and color Litvak renders the everyday with a particular poignancy, and as a native and émigré of the region, she has a unique perspective on a nation frozen in time.
Vita Litvak earned an MFA in photography from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2008. She has taught at Richard Stockton College, Germantown Friends School, and Moore College of Art and Design. As a visiting professor at Haverford College she teaches a courses including "Foundation Photography" and the "Senior Major Seminar."
Я Подарю Тебе Мир (I Will Give You the World) and Other Promises from Transnistria will run in the Gallery through April 20. A reception for the show's opening will be held Feb. 7 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and Litvak will be on hand for an artist's talk that same evening from 5:30 p.m. to 6.:30 p.m.
Located in Marshall Fine Arts Center, the Atrium Gallery is open weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and weekends noon to 5:00 p.m.

NHL lockout looms as talks hit wall | The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram
NHLPA head Donald Fehr says players unified as potential lockout looms - ESPNNHL lockout looms as talks hit wall
Players and owners can't even agree on core issues and won't meet again until next Wednesday.
The Associated Press
TORONTO - The first truly tense moments of the NHL's collective bargaining negotiations have arrived.

Maine Today Photo Store
With NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHL Players' Association head Donald Fehr not scheduled to sit across from one another until the middle of next week and the sides unable to even agree on the core issues that need to be addressed, a sense of uneasiness has suddenly enveloped the talks.
After Wednesday's session, in which the NHL dismissed the union's initial proposal, Fehr set off for pre-scheduled player meetings in Chicago. The union boss will also oversee a session with players in Kelowna, British Columbia, before returning to Toronto to resume discussions on Wednesday.
At that point, the league and the NHL Players' Association will have just 24 days left to reach a new agreement and avoid a lockout. The current agreement runs out on Sept. 15. The regular season is slated to begin Oct. 11.
Where do they go from here? There is very little common ground between the proposals each side has put forth and neither seems particularly willing to move off its current position.
"What the issues are and how they get solved and how deep the issues go are something that we're not yet on the same page," Bettman said Wednesday.
In simple terms, the owners want to pay players less -- much less. Despite the fact the NHL's revenues grew from $2.2 billion before the 2004-05 lockout to $3.3 billion last season, a number of teams are still struggling. The financial success of the wealthiest franchises over the last seven years ended up hurting the poorer ones.
That's because the salary cap was tied to overall hockey-related revenues and rose dramatically from $39 million in 2005-06 to $64.3 million last season, bringing the salary floor (the minimum teams must spend) up along with it. If next season was played under the current system, the cap would have been set at $70.2 million and the floor would have been $54.2 million.
However, a new deal needs to be put in place before the NHL resumes operations.
Under the owners' proposal -- issued in July -- the players' share in revenue would be cut from 57 percent to 43 percent and would include a change to the way the salary cap is calculated. Instead of being set at $8 million above the midpoint (total league revenues divided by 30 teams), the upper limit would be reduced to $4 million above. As a result, the salary cap would drop to $50.8 million next season, which is below where the floor currently rests.
The league also called for the elimination of salary arbitration, contract limits of five years (with equal money paid each year, essentially eliminating signing bonuses) and 10 years of service before unrestricted free agency kicks in. All of those proposed changes are designed to slow the increase in salaries.
The NHLPA estimated the league's proposal would cost players approximately $450 million per season.
Rather than making a direct counteroffer, Fehr elected to design his own system. He attempted to appease owners by keeping the hard salary cap in place and also put a drag on salaries by delinking them from overall revenues. But he also called for an expanded revenue-sharing plan that would see the wealthy teams distribute more than $250 million per season to the poor.
Under the union's plan, the salary cap would fall at roughly $69 million next season. It would increase to $71 million in 2013-14 and $75 million in 2014-15.
In other words, the owners would only realize significantly more profit in the deal if the league continued to grow at a level beyond the 7 percent it averaged since the lockout. There's no guarantee of that, especially since the strength of the Canadian dollar has helped fuel the growth.
One thing the labor situation has not disturbed is new contracts this summer. Whether it's been in free agency or teams simply locking up their own players, new deals are surfacing every week. On Thursday, the Flyers gave forward Wayne Simmonds a new six-year pact to remain in Philadelphia.
"All the players are obviously going to show up if we're ready to play the season. But by Sept. 15, if a deal's not reached, I'm not too sure," Simmonds said. "This is my first time going through this and I'm really not too familiar with the process. But from all the players' accounts, we want to play. We're ready to start."
Which brings up a good point. If they don't start with the NHL, will players head overseas?
"I haven't started looking as of yet. Obviously, I'm hoping there's a season," Simmonds said. "I'm sure as it comes closer, I'll speak to my agent about that and see where things go from there."
The Red Wings, for one, perhaps see the writing on the wall. On Thursday, Detroit General Manager Ken Holland canceled the team's annual prospects tournament in which seven other teams were slated to play in: the Sabres, Hurricanes, Blue Jackets, Stars, Wild, Rangers and Blues.
"Due to the uncertainty surrounding the collective bargaining agreement and the advance commitments required from the various parties," Holland said, "we have determined that it is in everyone's best interest to cancel."
The offer from Fehr this week was designed on the premise that the players would give up revenue for three years -- the system would revert back to the current rules in the fourth -- so that the NHL could work on getting its struggling teams on stable footing.
The league is asking for far too much.
For those of you who don't know, the League is going into it's collective bargaining negotiations with the NHLPA and demanding what amounts to a 1.2 million rollback in player salaries, restricting new and rookie players to one team for the majority of their playing careers, and eliminating the players ability to rely on salary arbitration for contract negotiations when they are in a restricted status... aka work for less than the market would say they are worth. This list goes on for restrictions and rollbacks.
Basically they are trying to rape the players for the mistakes their own GM's and owners have created, by offering ridiculously over-extended contracts. Also by over-expansion and placing teams in non-traditional markets, they have resulted an unhealthy economic status for half the league, which they expect the players to pay for. All of this despite the fact the league is posting record profits year after year for "healthy teams" who are unwilling to profit share as the NFL does with it's less healthy teams.

I'm tagging this as specific to classical guitar since that's what I am familiar with. The correct posture is very important which playing classical, including the footstool, the position of your hands, shoulders, wrist, back and neck. Prolonged bad posture can lead to injuries. How can one always be conscious of these things and maintain correct posture? Additionally, what are some good exercises to prevent injuries (along the lines of RSI prevention exercises for computer users) ?
I had to stop using a footstool altogether and instead put both feet flat on the floor and use a cushion to elevate the guitar into the correct playing angle. This enabled me to keep my spine straight and my hips in the right alignment.
The other device you can use is a support bracket that attaches to the underside of your guitar.
I'm convinced that using a footstool actually fights against good posture by encouraging your pelvis and spine to assume stressful positions which can cause all kinds of fatigue.
I don't think there's a 'correct' posture, it's different for everyone. Sure there are conventions people follow, guitar on left leg, footstool, etc, but the best one for you is the one that allows you to play what you need to play without any pain. I'm a tall guy and I went through dozens of different setups before I found something I liked.
Taking breaks after 45 minutes is a good piece of advice, while subjective, I'd also state that you shouldn't practice more than 4 hours a day. If it takes longer than that to do your exercises and work on your pieces, you need to adjust your strategy.
One of the biggest things you can do with your posture is to always make sure you're aware of what you're doing with you body when you're playing. When playing, occasionally stop and ask yourself if you're tensing any muscles in your hands, body, jaw. Playing in front of a full body mirror or video recording yourself can help.
Pick a hard chair, sit towards the front of the chair and have a foot rest for your right leg. Don't cross your legs while playing, don't sit back in the chair as if you're going to enjoy a cocktail - you can adopt that posture after a solid 10 years of practice. As always, when it comes to the back, it also helps if you actually exercise: sit-ups help, don't laugh!! Take breaks every 45 minutes and remember that when you are practicing scales some of the physical stress might work it's way from your finger-tips, down your wrists, through your forearms, and eventually end up in your lower back: Breath, Relax and Break up repetitive exercises with fun pieces!!
I know this isn't the "typical" classical guitar posture (and in fact, classical guitarists are going to flame you), but I find it relaxing.
However, keep in mind it is also harder to play guitar with this posture.

|Amazing rocks up top. But I definitely wasn't fist-punching the air when I reached this summit like I was when I did AF Twins 4 days ago. But check it off the list. Combo'd it up with Ben Lomond. Ben Lomond is the celebrity of the ridge, and Willard seems to be the rough and rugged forgotten step brother. I didn't even find a registry on top of Willard.

|The road up from Mantua is in terrible condition and req'd. ~ 45 min. to cover the 7 miles. I parked ~ 1 mile below the Willard Basin saddle and first hiked to Inspiration Point. This is a relatively easy hike along the road that also passes by Willard Basin campground. It's a good alternative if you want to include this peak and also want another route to the Skyline trai. However, as of 7/1 there were still several trees across the road and frequent snow to cross. From Inspiration Point the Skyline trail is relatively flat to Ben Lomond Peak except for the final few hundred yards. Going this way from Inspiration Point be sure to take the left route at the first fork. Whether you hike to Willard Basin Peak on the way to or from Ben Lomond I think you'll need to routefind from the Skyline trail to the WB peak as I looked and couldn't find any existing route. There also were several mountain goats below and south of the Ben Lomond peak.

|Started at Cutler Flats but evidently took some wrong turns....Bicentennial Trail then to a dead end and after some backtracking was sure I found it. Only to have a "trail" peter in to obscurity pretty fast. Ran into some bow hunters that told me I could not get up from this basin, didn't stop me though I bushwaked for a couple miles and eventually came out on the ridge east of inspiration point....frustrating to know people drove up there. After an undulating ridge that added several hundred feet of elevation change I made it to Willard, not the first peak I was planning on going to. Took less than 4 hours the "direct way though. Ran over to Ben Lomond and down on what I thought was the Cutler Fork trail only to be dumped on a road next to a pavilion with a green shamrock on it, followed a bike path down to the river and figured this was an earlier part of the first wrong turn I had made. Still a foot path led downstream only to disappear also. Passed some voraciously destructive beavers and 2 bull moose before stumbling into Cutler Flats. Whole trip even with 1 mile added for wrong turns only took 7 hours and I made it a loop instead of there and back. There are definitely easier ways up this peak though.

Don't follow the obvious trail to the north and west of Willard Peak or you will add needless time and distance - we did! Instead angle northwest up the ridge line when it looks appropriate and route find to the broad lumpy top which doubles as a summit. Ben Lomond is much more picturesque than Willard. It took us 8+30 roundtrip. Was with my son, Kimball. #2 8-30-14 Solo, after hitting B.L. and taking in the subpeak north where trucks park. Windy the entire day but cool.

Comments about Dan Post Men's Ostrich Leg Western Boots:
I like everything about these boots. They have a unique look that I enjoy, the fit was dead-on and they wear as comfortably as a pair of sneakers.I have the regular black color, which I don't see listed anymore. That would be too bad -- my black dress shoes have been gathering dust since I bought these boots.

I had an HTC EVO 4G before the iPhone 5. That phone has it's jack in the top. I am constantly trying to place the cable in the top of the phone, then I flip the phone around after scratching the top of the phone for a split second. It's rather annoying. I imagine it will take a while for my muscle memory to catch up to reality.
How do you like the iPhone 5 headset jack on the bottom?
With the iPhone 5 Apple has moved our trusty 3.5 mm headset jack from where it's always previously been at the top of the device, to a new location at the bottom.
What do you think? Was this a good move on Apple's part? If you're wearing a headset, does it make it easier to put your iPhone in your pocket, or harder to leave it on a dock? Or do you not use or simply not care where Apple puts the headset jack on the iPhone?

How do you like the iPhone 5 headset jack on the bottom?
Ditto. I hated how it used to look with one cable coming out the top and one out the bottom. Now I'm able to take the audio and sync cable and tape them together and build a little charing dock for my car - finally clean it all up.
And when it's in my pocket, who cares if the phone is upside down or not.
This is the biggest draw for me for the jack on the bottom. I have a Corolla and sticking the phone in the best place in the dashboard it's awkward to have the charge cable on one end and the aux out (headphone) port on the other. Now granted my fix is Bluetooth for my phone but when we listen to my wife's phone the awkward thing is back.
Frankly when I have my phone in a dock I have external speakers connected to that so I don't care where the jack is in that situation.
I hate it.
Thanks for a reason why
apple has rarely "innovated." That's marketing. But Apple is the second guy. That's often the guy you want to be. The first guy loses money and fails.
But in general, i was thinking when the 4s came out that pretty much EVERY cell phone had kinda exhausted the big ideas. That now they are just like 3d and movies, not needed. Like take laptops. other then thin ultrabooks there isn't much innovation. it's exhausted. i'm not saying nobody invents anything but consumers are making drastic jumps in the hardware they buy, like when one year they were buying cd burners, then another it was dvd burners, and then ooo huge storage, then the innovations were like ever faster processing, that allowed you to rip dvds and rip movies, and edit movies. At some point computer makers exhausted everything. last years laptop is generally similar and as good as this years.
i think phones are close to the same spot. once you got movies, video recording, music, and cloud storage there isn't a ton of other things going on. maybe live tv on your phone but we kinda get that already too, just not so much over cellular. But for me, other then LTE there's no big feature in the pipeline that i gotta have. it's simply about who does it best or best according to my needs.
what I'm saying is, why is this even an issue? a very small percentage of users will even care about the change. Why do they have to publicize something so trivial, just to add another bullet point to the list of new "features"? next thing you know, they'll have a patent on bottom headphone jacks.
don't like it but i'm not getting an iphone 5. But i still like it on top. keep i where it is. Also no that they've ruined the dock connector so i get no line in in my car, Well it sits in a cradle. now i'd be forced to use the crappy audio port but that's covered by the cradle arms on the bottom of the cradle. It just occured to me that how is the iphone gonna sit in the cradle, and allow access to the bottom. IT can't the bottom is what the iphone rests on, covering that port.
it's one of the many ideas in the past year that apple has had that i honestly don't get where they are coming from. I think the phone is nice, and i'm not the sort that's an apple fanboy, but i just think the gap between them and other phone is narrowing and worse many changes they make are not improvements: dock connector, maps, the grey look of music player. And many other things strike me as half assed, podcast app, passbook launch, those ugly appletv icons, app store changes give shitty sorting,
Half like it. While I don't have an iPhone 5 yet, you have to plug it in like an iPod Touch now which is good. But the dock connector I don't like. (Ps: there are no docks in transition this year. It's been confirmed by other news sources.) There won't be audio support on this model and you have to spend hundreds of dollars on accessories all over again.
Exactly where it should've been all along; when you're wearing headphones the iPhone now comes out of your pocket in the right direction, and the cable no longer gets in the way of the camera lens when you're snapping photos in a hurry.
As for the whole dock audio issue, that's kind of moot right now seeing as the primary connector doesn't fit anyway. I'm not sure how an adapter is going to work with the "universal" docks that relied solely on the 30-pin connector to prop up the phone--certainly wouldn't wanna try that with Lightning.
Position is good for keeping the rain out (saved apple the cost of one water sensor too.)
Who cares if it is blocked when on a docking station, we're moving toward wireless headsets anyway... I wonder how long before this port disappears anyway (possibly being integrated into the lightening port.)
Why are people that don't have the phone commenting?? How can you make a decision without actually using it. I am new 'Apple convert' and I like where it is. When it is in my pocket it is top down, face towards my leg. When I pull it out everything is comfortably where it needs to be. The headphone cord is hanging by my wrist and not in the way of the screen (which is probably why they changed it in the first place).
For those that 'hate' it (can't understand why it is that important that you could -- hate-- the placement of headphone jack lol), with the original location how often did you have an issue with the cord being in front of screen? Or having to bend the cord behind the iPhone to keep it out of the way? And if you say never, you are truly a liar...
You hit the nail on the head if you ask me. The head phones were always just a bit to short because the natural movement to put away you're phone is top of phone facing the ground. I would always either have to take it out again turn it the "right" way so as not to tighten up the slack on the headphones, or worse--try to spin it around in my pocket. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Bottom of phone headphone-jack was long over due..
I have another brand smart phone and the headphone jack is at the top BUT, when im listening to music or podcast etc... I find myself turning the phone upside down (jack is now at the bottom) and it's so much eaiser and comfortable to use. I wish all phones had the jack at the bottom. Btw, my next phone is the i5.
I like the new jack on the bottom, it's the best place for it but ... it should actually be on the *other* side at the bottom (starboard instead of port).
Most folks are right handed and thus hold the phone in the left hand and put it in the left-hand trouser pocket (if they wear trousers). Since, when the phone is facing you the jack is on the left side, it makes it harder to hold in your hand than it needs to be and when you put it in and out of your pocket, the wires are always under your hand and in the way.
The jack should be on the starboard side of the phone (right-side when it's facing you) not the left.
Not a fan of the new position. My first iPhone 5 suffered (apparently) from crosstalk between the headphone and lightning ports, in that I could hear a hum when I did things on the phone (scroll, quit apps, etc)
Apple exchanged it, and the new phone does not have this problem, but I still find it less convenient - it makes it very inconvenient to plug/unplug headphones when docked, and, like Gazoobee, I would prefer it on the opposite side so it is not up against my hand while holding it.
What a silly topic to talk about, but yet people still find a problem with this lol. Personally, I actually think that having the headset jack on the bottom of the iPhone 5 makes tons of sense. It's less messy and easier to make a quick call or launch an app since the phones top portion slides right side up when you pull it from your pocket.
Meh. It is a little cleaner when I hook it up in my car (no bluetooth on my car radio).
I am not going to an iPhone 5 for this reason as well as the new dock connector. Even if they supply an conversion adapter to the old 30 pin connector, it still would be an issue for me because of the headphone jack at the bottom.
Apple sees no problem is causing people to buy all new supporting devices. I have an alarm clock, car adapter as well as a battery pack. All useless either because of the headphone jack or the dock connector.
Also the new lightning dock connector doesn't support HDMI out. I have an Apple TV at home, so I can use airplay. But when I go to a friends house and want to connect my iPhone to their TV, I have the adapter that connects my phone to HDMI cable. That cable, even with the lightning conversion cable to 30 pic, will not work with HDMI. So I would have to carry around my apple TV if I want to use my friends TV to show stuff off my iphone. Thanks apple to making things MORE difficult.
Thanks again Apple for making us buy all new stuff and for NOT being customer focused! I'll keep my iPhone 4S thank you. Not much changes anyway. And I get all the functionality of IOS6 except 1 feature.
As for the headset jack I really don't care where they put it. The problem I have is this Lightning connector. I HATE IT! I really don't see why they did it. And here I am, now having to wait until the end of the freakin month to get a lightning adapter. Everywhere I've looked it's the same thing. Will ship or be released around October the 30th or something like that. This really bites.
I am a guy and I will out the phone in my jeans pocket while listing to music. Since I hold the phone with the home button down, it goes in my pocket uoside down. This works perfect with the headjack on bottom.
I have the new iPhone 5 (after having had an iPhone 4 for the past 2 1/2 years), and I hate the new headphone jack position for the following reasons:
1) muscle memory from having had an iPhone 4 for so long does make it very frustrating to keep wanting to plug my earbuds/earpods into the wrong end of the phone for the first 30 seconds every time I reach for the phone
2) I practically live with headphones plugged into my iPhone, and having the cable hanging out of the bottom actually makes the phone uncomfortable and awkward to use one-handed. I'm used to being able to stabilize the phone in my hand by cupping the lower end of the phone, but the audio jack is now in the way.
3) As previous commenters have already mentioned, placing the phone into a cupholder in a car or in a treadmill at a gym/etc is now awkward if you prefer to have the phone right-side up
4) I use my phone in my car over a bluetooth connection, so there is no issue with having multiple connectors coming out of my phone from opposite ends (come on people: you have an advanced technology phone; enter the 21st century with your car's audio connetictivity).
So, to sum up my point (and to repeat myself): I HATE HATE HATE the new position of the headphone jack, but still love my new iPhone 5.
I hate it and I like it ....
I hate it because the headset gets in the way of my pinky when I'm trying to text!
Other than that, I like it! Lol
Having the headphone jack on the bottom is terrible for me. Like some of the other posters, I use my iPhone with a treadmill and I can no longer do so without standing the iPhone 5 upside down. Same thing goes with putting the iPhone in my cup holder or on my desktop iPhone stand. Apple really should have added auto-rotate to the iPhone when they changed the location of the headphone jack. This seems really obvious as it's similar to how the iPad works.
Even when I'm holding the phone and using it, having the headphone cable on the bottom is irritatingly in the way at times. Beyond the location of the jack, the headphone output quality of the new iPhone is noticeably worse than the 4S. It needs a new headphone amplifier chip or some other fix.
IMO, there was nothing wrong with the previous location of the headphone jack. And the audio quality of the 4/4S was super good, the best of all phones, or close to it. I'm not sure why Apple changed things. All of this means I'm most likely going to return my iPhone 5 for a refund. It's a nice phone, but falls on its face when it comes to working well with headphones.
I am pretty sure it comes down to perosnal prefference. I myself hate it because I wear overalls and it slides into the the pocket so all I have to do is just plug in my headphones. If I need to fast forward a track I can and also see who is calling me by slightly pulling the phone out, but as I have said it really is personal prefference on what you like.
i hate it because im a big ios gamer, see i spend a lot of time on a job not doing much, so i game, i have a 4s and my roomate just got the 5, with the dock connector and headphones plugged in i hate it it is so awkward to hold sideways and comfortably, before i used to have a cable on each side of the phone running between my fingers and it felt fine, now the space between the dock connector and jack is to thin to put a finger thru but to wide to have both cables going between 2 fingers, its terrible, i was really looking forward to the wider screen for more onscreen space for touch controls but now just how uncomfortable it is is turning me off of getting this phone, please tell me you guys agree its uncomfortable, how do you hold it?

Quality and Patient Safety > Patient Safety Tips > Hospitalization
If you are hospitalized:
- If you are in the hospital, ask all health care workers coming in direct contact with you if they have washed their hands. Hand-washing is the single most effective means for preventing spread of infection in hospitals.
- Each time you are given a medication, ask what it is. If you suspect an error, ask the nurse to double-check the order to verify it is correct.
- When you are being discharged from the hospital, ask for a complete explanation of your treatment plan. This includes information about your medications, level of activity, diet, when you can return to work, and any needed follow-up appointments.

Matt Tait, Lawrence Journal World talks to Ian Wolfe, Kansas City Curling Club
"It's kind of like the every-day person's sport," Wolfe said. "The unique part is that some of the best curlers in the world still have full-time jobs. So it's not that they're dedicated to curling from the time they're 5 years old and never stop. You can curl at any age. You don't necessarily peak when you're 22 years old. Some of the best curlers in the world are actually in their 50s."

This was the second weekend of beta testing and while technically they were giving out beta keys to "select" people and people who "bought" their content packages (the content packages can't be used until launch), this is an open beta because on Twitter and at conventions, beta keys were dropping like candy from pinyatas, especially duing the week leading up to this weekend. Now it's about to close down. And I'm sharing my experiences here because I'm about to pan it and they've been guilty of thread moving and deleting if they feel it is "too negative." That's a problem in itself. They want feedback, but only if it's good.
I wanted to like it, I really did, I played it every day of the weekend for hours. Logged several bugs, posted several howto's on their forums, because howto's are simply not to be found unless fans make 'em, forcing everyone to reinvent the wheel and everyone to endure endless repeat questions on Zone chat. But here were several showstoppers for me:
1. When I realized there is no way to make an organized group or raid in the game. Because of the chaotic reticule nature of the TPS (third person shooter) interface, you can't focus on your tank, can't even lock focus on anything unless you hold down CTRL all the time, so things like Target of Target are impossible, and when I brought that up, it was very nearly ignored. People simply said "that's the challenge of the interface." O.o Yeah, how does that work for heals? Basically in every group I was in, we fought large groups in tight chaotic groupings, with the dps going after the snipers and ranged fighters. Which means the big aoes of the control wizard often didn't get recharged bc they weren't doing enough damage to one person as they spent time freezing people so they didn't get massacred while fighting a lone fight on the fringes. Meanwhile the aoe of the bad guys got unleashed on the party about 6 or 7 times. I'm just glad it was weak.
2. There is no way to zone out of a map at will. Ok, if you're in a combat, you might not always have the option anyway. but what if you get stuck somewhere in a badly designed Foundry mission? Foundry misions are player designed dungeons. What if you discover a bug that strands you somewhere? And you can't say "zone me home" or "let me start over" or "abandon this" or whatever? Truth be told, it's a bug that if you say abandon, then change your mind and say cancel, it strands you in the zone with no way to zone out via Abandon anymore. And a bug is a bug. But anyway, I just think that because the Foundry is player created, that's why there should be an abort mission button all the time. it shouldn't be up to the player to "know better not to do that." There's a word for doing it right: robust. Currently not robust.
3. if you just quest, you are bored to death. There is one questline, very linear, no side quests almost ever. So my advice is, next beta weekend, if you go: a. grind the decrepit skeletons for level 2 loot until you're decently geared, and level 3, that way you'll be level 5 faster, and you'll have decent gear which is better than being level 5 and gearless farther along. and b. go to blacklake as soon as you get to the city. You can survive it at level 5 or 6, the gear that drops won't do you any good yet, though. So get to level 7, pray for astral diamonds and buy some gear from the auction, or go back to do some earlier quests. You'll be surprised how easy they are, but that's not the point, you want gear. The point of black lake is multiple quests, job board, harper, lots more to do. A lack of content is very very obvious. It's like the devs have decided to let the community write the foundry quests. Except that the foundry quests can't have been written by the fans now can they?
4 They are determined to write a "shoot em up" type of game, not a fantasy game. Chat is filled with players who are unhappy and wishing they had Neverwinter in the hands of people who actually appreciated a/ fantasy and b/ D&D and c/ a more familiar point and click interface whre you can tab-target, and every once in a while you get really suspicious statements by people saying "oh this is the best game I've ever played." Really? Totally unqualified statements like that make me go hmmm... Just one example there is a "Hall of Justice" where this guy talks like any minute I'm going to see some superheroes step out and sit down around a big oval table. It would be hillarious if it wasn't such a bad design fit.
I played a guardian and a control wizard, and tried the rogue but hated that, it didn't last long. It seems the control wizard actually takes less damage than the guard for some odd reason, maybe she kills faster, or she repels more often, or she slows them down. Whatever, she can protect herself better than the tank.
On the plus side, PW seems very responsive to what is happening and has agreed that the silly hand gesture of the control wizard needs to be changed, and also was on top of a Foundry instance that had lots of people stuck in it (see item 2) for HOURS. They do seem to be responsive and on top of things. But their mandates are sometimes at cross purposes. There was a passel of people who coudln't log in, and when they complained on the forums, the moderators deleted their stuff and moved their threads and things (which is in the EULA of hte forum, which is why i say cross purposes), but when the person started a new thread again, someone from PW replied that they wanted the name of the moderators who did that bc it was an accounts issue and they shouldn't have been treated like that. So there is oversight, responsiveness and justice on the plus side of the ledger.
I don't like the game, but the game company's good. I don't even mind their keeping my money and I may even try the game after launch, way way after... once the bugs are fixed to see how it turned out. but I think I'm done testing. Good luck to them from the standpoint of making a game, and being businesspeople, but this is in no way what I envisioned for Neverwinter, and it saddens me. I still don't have a Neverwinter game I like since the first. /shrug

I agree with the mojority of this thread.
This is the most linear mmo I have ever played. Remembering the game is still in beta, I am hoping that at release there is more content also.
I played a cleric and a gaurdian warrior type. I enjoyed them both, but found the quests so similar and boring. Levelling seemed easy enough at least to level 20.
I really hope for open PvP servers as the game needs it. Without PvP this game will lose a good chunk of players as, in it's current form, it is almost the standard fare of crappy mmo wwe see a lot of these days.

Interesting post, thanks for posting. Point 1 and 4 is the same reason though, you just formulated it differently.
Point 2 is definetely a bug, and should be fixed. Getting stuck is never acceptable.
Point 3 about lacking content is understandable, this is a beta, right?
I wasn't going to play this game, but after reading this, I might give it a try! Especially the part you said about tab-targeting, which I've always hated. It's way too noob-friendly. Perhaps neverwinter might offer a more challenging solution. I'm sick and tired of auto-aim targeting MMO's.
This game sounds cool, and I haven't even read up on it. Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

I would not say it bombed at all , as many of the zones were full of people. There are a few classes missing still a ramnger class and the fighter they are going to show next time. My buddies got to 40 and I got to 30 and it was nice but, yes bland quest that are boring and the fatc that praying was borked and you could pray up to 6 times and hour due to a reset bug. and ok beta but not the best and not the worst
point 2. we had this issue, just go back to the start and exit from there was the answer. You could not get stuck in foundry quests. the entrance was always an exit

I have gotten up to level 21 as a control wizard and I have to say I am really enjoying the game. I will definitely be playing it when it comes out as my main MMO. Especially since it is FTP. Everyone has different preferences. As for getting stuck in foundry missions, there is something you can click to exit out.

I was this '' close to writing this game off. First, I can't stand 4e D&D, and I don't like "action combat". Second, as others have pointed out, the graphics are a little bland. Finally, the combat didn't seem very challenging.
All that changed on this, my second beta weekend. If someone is comparing this game to MMO worlds like GW2 and World of Warcraft, then I'm sure it won't stack up.
I think we have yet to see the best this game has to offer. I'm talking about Foundry content that I (and others) create for a specific group of players. I haven't had a chance to get my hands on the Foundry yet, but if the dungeons and skirmishes I was in this weekend were created with the Foundry; I see A LOT of potential here.

I like the game. I like themepark mmos in general and this is looking to be a great one. Cryptic may have redeemed themselves with this one.

It closely resonates LOTR, the font is a blantant rip off copy of it lol. But the combat give you a chance to void attacks. I do nto like the idea of not being able to move and attack lol.

Yes you can get stuck in foundry quests if you get one where they zone you away from the door and you can't get to the door anymore, and there are repopping mobs also. Also if you are in a group, and people go linkdead on you with repopping mobs, maybe you can't get to the door anymore and are stuck in a corner. And even if you abandon, there is a bug, whree if you accidentally abandon and cancel, you can't abandon twice. Yes you can get stuck.

Originally posted by ClaesI wasn't going to play this game, but after reading this, I might give it a try! Especially the part you said about tab-targeting, which I've always hated.

If you don't like noob friendly games, then stay far away from NWO - it may not be tab target style gameplay, but it's like playing Act 1 normal D3. You click it, it dies. Even on the higher levels, I've seen some people talk about mobs being a bit harder, my only question is "has this person equipped new gear within the last 5-10 levels?"

I am glad that Neverwinter found its fans/players and I hope it will remain them for years. For me, its just another f2p mmorpg and dont play f2p mmorpgs.
TBH I am not interested in foundry at all, its just smart and lazy thing added by developers so they dont have to create new content so often by themself, but I dont see this foundry content to be any differnet that the rest of the game, its the same to me, just slightly changed instance ..

Thankfully chat was filled with people loving the game.
As for it being linear...the foundry makes this game the most open themepark ever made with content that will be flowing faster than any game ever made, I would refute the rest of your post but much like the linear comment, it would be too easy.

Hi there, Ragnarockk!
I just wanna chip in my $0.02 and whilst I thank you for highlighting some of the postives of this game, I wanna address some of your negatives, sorry for the paraphrasing.
Because they are some of the same negatives I'm helping address all over these forums it seems... Which means either people arn't reading others posts about Neverwinter on these forums, or arn't reading my responses to them!
1. The point of this interface is to require some element of skill in the combat. You can't tab target because in doing so, it kind of mitigates your responsibility to be looking at what's going on and actually actively taking a part in it. You mentioned that in your group, it was a bit chaotic? Well, in my opinion you have had a bad group! I've played both beta weekends, clearing the blacklake skirmish, as well as the tower district orc skirmish in both, and running the Cloak Tower in both and never have I had any experience where the group had trouble in doing their roles effectively. Now admittedly, I've played a Guardian both runs, but my close friend played a Cleric to 30 last weekend with me, and this weekend playing the Arcane (Meh, Control) Wiz said he's never seen or had any issues with healing or the like either.
2. Yes, there is. You type /killme and release your spirit to the zones starting campfire. Thus allowing you to leave. Neverwinter doesn't have any death penalties for this as far as I'm aware, so that is that.
3. Devs has stated that side quests and crafting and other such things will be added either at launch, or soon after. We're meant to be beta testing bugs, not playing through the entire content just for our sake of enjoyment.
4. B) Cryptic and WotC have actually worked hand in hand with this game to ensure that it's lore, as well as the details of characters, skills etc, are in-fact very close if not identical to what you'd find in 4ed D&D, so that argument is false. A) I don't see how this setting is not fantasy. If you can point out a single article in game that would be of another setting, modern reality, sci-fi, horror, etc, then please do. If you cannot, then yes, this game is in fact fantasy based. C) Addressed in point 1. I believe.

A lot of people will play nw for few days, weeks but then they return to wow, rift, eq, tera, etc. most of them. Thats how i see it.
For me it is nothing else but co-op dungeon crawler game. Not mmorpg, because mmorpg should have open living world.

It's promo beta, which means apart from adding the missing content and fixing some tooltips and maybe some spreadsheet values not much will change for release. They won't revamp any major features and what you see is pretty much what you will get with some spit and polish on top.
Is it terrible? Nah. Seen much worse. Just pick any random licensed koren MMO that's clone of a clone of a clone. Compared to those NW is high quality production :P
Is it good enough? Nope. It feels lacking at pretty much everything it tries to do. Trying to target heal a halfling in middle of combat with everyone standing clustered and sillyc ompanions getting in way is next to impossible so... AoE heals are way to go (healed all dungeons and skirmishes up to level 36, most of the time without tank along, just rogues and wizards), they are enough to keep everyone alive along with the seal that heals on hit.
Overworld questing is pretty uninspired except some instanced segments, the engine has potential but question is how much of it will be avalible in Foundry and can we actually makes something more than "kill dudes in room, move to next room, repeat until big dude/loot"
To me it seems that the game is torn between wanting to be MMO and dungeonc rawler and thus achieves nothing spectacular on either front.

I sort of agree with you... I don't like the idea that some of the mobs seem to die incredibly easily. I'd like more variety and challange to what I'm fighting. Having just finished Tower Zone again (second time this beta weekend) I can tell you that orcs doesn't seem so Orcy to me. I want to fight the Urak Hai of Neverwinter, not these pansies!

Didn't mean to steal this thread, started a new one.
I have a question about the Foundry.
Can you have a mob drop loot and XP?
If so, what will stop you from setting up a simple scenario and giving yourself eleventy-billion of them?
Or if not, what would be the point of doing Foundry missions?
The Ryzom Ring would not allow you to drop loot, or get XP. It is too easy to set up exploits. But you COULD give away your own loot, and also your own "cats", which are XP potions.
So the best hope is that you could populate your mobs with loot that you own, by putting them in escrow for the quest. Does the Foundry work like that?

By Robby from USA on 2011-01-04 11:06:39Things I liked:I Love these 4500 psi CF > (carbon fiber) tanks, I also have the CF Piglet Tank.. The Marauder has a 215 cc tube, with this 88 Cu ft (cubic foot) 4,500 psi tank if you fill to 3,000 psi's and only shoot down to 2,000 psi's then fill, like I do you will get about 57 full 3,000 psi fills.. And of course your fills after that will not get up to 3,000 psi's but you still get a lot more shooting, even when the gun is not filled to 3,000 psi's.. ONLY around 57 fills, is it worth the money you say? Well to pump my Marauder from around 2,000 psi's to 3,000 psi's with the 1 of the 2 pumps I have was a lot of sweat on hot days an took around 135 to 150 pumps depended on which pump I used.. Now consider, pumping in the heat sweating to fill the gun them same 57 times with a pump say on the low side at 135 pumps to fill? That's 7,695 pumps I saved with them 57 fills from the tank, and ALOT of sweat, so to me the answer is YEP it's worth it... ANYWAYYYYY With the 490 cc AirForce Condor you get about 25 full 3,000 psi fills and also save a lot of time from pumpimg.. With the 17 cu ft CF > (cubic foot carbon fiber) piglet you get 4 fills for the condor and 11 Marauder fills but it fits a little back pack and is light to carry all day...BUY the 88 cu ft CF tank its worth every dime NO MORE PUMPING!!! lol
Things I would have changed:Cheaper if possible? Offer a bigger size, maybe the 105 cu ft?
What others should know:Expensive BUT worth every dime, just think no more breaking your back OR wiping all that sweat away on them 90 degree days PUMPING!!! lol

By Timothy from USA on 2014-08-23 12:23:17Things I liked:As advertised. Certainly preferable to a pump or other method for refills. Straightforward, easy to use.
Things I would have changed:A base to set it in would make for easier refilling in the field

Baker Hits Two Home Runs Against Greensburg
- Release Date:
- April 24, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
GREENSBURG, PA – Junior Halsey Baker hit two home runs (one grand slam) in Hilbert College's 9-1 and 14-6 softball losses to Pitt-Greensburg April 23, dropping to 0-8 in league play and 1-16 overall. Greensburg improves to 3-13 AMCC (7-23 overall). The games were played on Saturday after a night of miserable rain in Western PA. The Hawks still have four conference opponents to play with only one week of classes left before exams begin May 2.
Baker (Scio, NY/Scio) hit her first homer in the top of the 4th inning cutting the deficit to 3-1. Greensburg then went on to score six runs off four hits (two Hawk errors) in the bottom of the 4th grabbing a commanding 9-1 lead. Hilbert was blanked the next inning and based on the score differential, Greensburg did not have to bat in the bottom of the 5th.
Game two opened with Hilbert up 1-0 after an unearned run was scored by Jill Martucci (Hamburg, NY/Hamburg). Emily Ripley (Batavia, NY/Notre Dame) was sent home off an RBI from Lisa Crowe (Eden, NY/Eden) in the third inning giving the Hawks a 2-0 lead.
Things continued to look good for the Hawks when Baker slammed her bases-loaded home run jumping Hilbert into a 6-0 advantage in the 4th. Unfortunately for the Hawks, Greensburg had a huge inning, hitting four doubles and scoring 7 runs to take a one-run lead in the bottom of the 4th.
Of the next seven Hilbert batters, Martucci was the only player to make a connection with the ball. She was stranded at 2nd base after her teammates struck out, flew out or grounded out to end the game. Greensburg continued to put runs on the board and secured the win in the bottom of the 6th inning with a 14-6 lead.
The Hawks will travel to Penn State Altoona Monday, April 25 and then travel Wednesday, April 27 to D'Youville College before they finish their season with home games against Medaille College (4/28) and Mount Aloysius (TBD).
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

On July 11, 1798, President John Adams approved legislation that officially brought "The President's Own" United States Marine Band into being, making the Marine Band America's oldest professional musical organization. The fledgling band consisted of a "drum major, fife major and 32 drums and fifes." When the nation's capital relocated from Philadelphia to the new Federal city of Washington in 1800, the Marine Band came with the chief executive and made its White House debut at President and Mrs. John Adams' first New Year's Day reception in 1801.
Present at many of the most memorable and cherished moments in our nation's history, the band played for the dedication of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg when President Abraham Lincoln gave his immortal address. It has provided music for every inauguration since the time of Thomas Jefferson, the president who gave them the title, "The President's Own."
In this exhibition the White House Historical Association presents the story of the United States Marine Band and its distinguished history.

White Arch Bathroom Space Saver 2 2
so difficult to assemble I have a small bathroom, so the spacesaver does provide us with needed storage. The style does look nice and adds style to our bathroom. However this item was so frustrating to put together and it is not of great quality so I would not recommend it. November 4, 2010
Almost impossible to assemble This product was SO DIFFICULT to assemble! My husband and I had to do it together. It took forever, and once we were almost done and were ready to put it in place, we realized that the stabilization bar on the legs couldn't be on before putting the unit over the toilet. So we took the bar off, put the unit in place, got ready to put the bar back on, but then realized that the toilet plumbing was in the way! So then we had to drill new holes so that the bar could be moved up a bit higher. November 20, 2010

She is survived by three children, William H. (Carole) Roberts, of Cynthiana, Sandra C. (Bruce) Spradlin, of Greenville, S.C., and Cynthia S. (Jim) Pontrich, of LaGrange; grandchildren, Robert, Joe and Pam Turner, Meridyth Harrison, John and Mark Burchett, Roger and Blake Thomas, Adam Pontrich, Amy Roberts, Mara Kesterson, and Evan and Jacob Prather; seven great-grandchildren; and three sisters, Asseneth, Olga and Marina.

This grandmother may not look like Santa but she certainly has a list and is checking it twice.
"To hopefully get everything I need so I can go home and wrap," says Beany Pratt.
But before the toys for her grandchildren are wrapped, Baeny's making sure she stays within budget.
"It's thirty five....hmmmm not that steep," says Beany Pratt.
"It probably went out the window. And why is that? Because grandbabies," says Beany Pratt.
She and her daughter Wendy are looking for sales, sales, sales!!!
"I actually haven't spent as much as I thought I was going to spend, I went under budget, and I think I was probably budgeting four hundred dollars per child at the most," says Beny Pratt.
And retail store management says they're seeing people wanting those sales even though black Friday is long over.
"Well, of course everyone is looking for a good deal with the economy, but they'll come in and say what do you have in this price point?," says Kmart Customer Service Associate Amy Powell.
Sleigh bells aren't the only thing ringing during this season, so are the cash registers.
"We're seeing you know the shopping picking up a lot, and it's been steady we are selling a lot of merchandise," says Kmart Manager Robert Ferguson.
Items Baeny Pratt and her daughter are hoping to put under their tree this Christmas.
According to Americanresearchgroup.com the average American will spend about $850.00 on a family of four this holiday season.
