Rex and Dorian try putting the pieces together while Adriana fights for her life, Blair and Todd make a sacrifice, Jessica begins heading down the tough road to her recovery…
Nash shows up at the loft to visit baby Brennan. Jessica tries hiding Tess's journal and her feelings from Nash, but gives in, tells him about the reemerging memories.
Rex goes to Dorian, asks her where Adriana is. Even though Dorian acts as though she knows Adriana's whereabouts, neither of them realizes she's in her stalker's car. Bruce! Adriana wakes up, bound and terrified. Rex implores Dorian to help him find Adriana, but Dorian threatens to call the police.
John points out to Natalie the hidden clues in Spencer's picture. Natalie shows John a mediocre test score, fearing that she won't pass the forensic class. John tries giving her some pointers.
Starr is happy to see her parents kiss, thinking it's normal. Spencer, on the other hand, is more than disturbed by the sight! Blair and Todd leave Starr's room.
Adriana remembers what Bruce said before she gave in to the effects of the drug. She desperately tries breaking free, but her hands are tied...�Literally.
Blair and Todd don't know how they're going to pretend to be engaged, but know, for Starr's sake, they have to.
Nash suggests to Jessica if the memories become too much, maybe, she should let Tess come out and handle them. Jessica is furious at Nash's suggestion, forces him to leave the loft. However, he comes back, takes her to get the help she needs.
Antonio expresses his interest to Bo about returning to the Llanview Police Force, says there's something missing in his life. Surprisingly, Bo hands Antonio his old badge back just as Nash calls, letting him know that Jessica is in the hospital.
As Adriana struggles to break free of the ropes, Bruce opens the car door preventing her from escaping!
Todd leaves Blair with an angry Spencer who's demanding to know if she's leaving him to go back to Todd.
Rex tries convincing Dorian that he's not the bad guy, that he loves and needs to find her daughter. He even goes as far as accusing Dorian of making it look as if Adrianna had a stalker when she really didn't. They are both so wrong...� Bruce tells Adrianna to calm down, but she infuriates him with a kick to the groin. Bruce regains control, securely tying Adrianna up as they take off.
The judge turns down John's request for a warrant to search Spencer's safe deposit box. Natalie tells him to get Blair's help.
Blair explains to Spencer her need to play along with Todd for Starr's sake. Spencer fears their reunion, but Blair manages to convince him otherwise...� Or so she thinks. Spencer gets Starr's CT scan results back, tells Blair there's nothing wrong with her and Starr admits to her friend the same!
Bruce makes a mysterious call. Rex sets out to find Adriana, leaving Dorian in her office, answering her phone call from Bruce! He tells her there's been a change of plans. Is Dorian's plan about to backfire at her daughter's expense?
Next on One Life to Live: Starr plays the role of the amnesia victim to the fullest, Rex racks his brain on how to get Adriana back and Dorian realizes she may have cost her daughter her life.

Gina McCarthy's Social Network
EPA chief Gina McCarthy is turning down the volume of the Beltway dispute over the "social cost of carbon" as her agency writes climate change rules for power plants.
The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a metric of the economic toll of greenhouse-gas emissions from increased flood risks, human health effects, and various other harms. It helps regulators weigh the benefits of various rules that curb emissions.
McCarthy, speaking at an energy conference in Houston yesterday, suggested the SCC might not play a big role in creation of the power plant rules: "So far it hasn't been a driver in decision-making. I am not sure it will be here. But we'll see."
That low-key response stands in contrast to what's happening over a thousand miles away in Washington, D.C.
Last year's upward revision of the SCC by the Obama administration has drawn heavy pushback from fossil fuel industry groups. They say federal officials haven't justified the increase and fear the higher estimate will skew analyses in favor of tougher regulations on various industries.
Republicans have pounced too. Sen. David Vitter, ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, has called the interagency process that increased the estimate a "black box."
But McCarthy's comments suggest that maybe whatever's inside it won't be as scary as critics fear.

Only 7 percent said Congress would support Obama's plan wholesale, and another 7 percent said they would support it but cut the amount of money for the fund.
Next week's National Journal Energy & Environment Insiders discussion will ask: Will Congress give its stamp of approval to President Obama's proposed "Climate Resilience Fund"? Will lawmakers support the initiative? If it fails to pass, is there any possibility that certain provisions could be enacted on a piecemeal basis? If so, which measures are likely to draw the broadest bipartisan support?

Questions still need answering, but Kentucky takes a step in the right direction in win over UNC-Asheville
Nov 8, 2013, 10:28 PM EDT
Kentucky isn't there yet. They looked sloppy and careless at times and are still learning how to play with each other, but it was evident in the Wildcats' 89-57 victory over UNC-Asheville that John Calipari has a special group on his hands.
Kentucky didn't need to beat the Bulldogs by 32 points in order for the nation to recognize that the Harrison twins, Julius Randle, and the other future NBA players on the squad are a special group but, if nothing else, tonight reaffirmed that notion.
Recall last year's Kentucky team that had a bevy of talent and future pro players on the roster. Expectations were high in the preseason, perhaps unreasonably so, and the Wildcats fluttered throughout the year thanks to inconsistent play at point guard and Nerlens Noel suffering a torn ACL midway through the season. That team never seemed to click, and while it's still extremely early for the current team, the chemistry seems to be there.
Yes, the sloppy play for much of the first half that saw Kentucky head to the locker room with an unimpressive 41-31 lead needs correcting. Yes, missing 18 free throws is a legitimate concern. And yes, whether freshman point guard Andrew Harrison will be able to shoulder the load of leading this team or not is in question.
However, what we saw tonight was a team that seemingly enjoys playing with each other and has fun. It sounds juvenile for a team to "have fun" out on the floor, but far too often last season that appeared to be an issue.
The star of the night was freshman Julius Randle, who poured in 23 points and corralled 15 rebounds. There is no doubt he will be a menace in the paint throughout the season, but what was so encouraging about Randle's night was drilling 11-13 from the line. He's going to receive double and triple teams and he is going to be sent to the line a fair amount, especially with the new defensive rules. If he can hit 75% of his free throws or better, he becomes that much more of a threat.
Conversely, there has to be a cause for concern that the rest of the Wildcats combined to shoot 19-35. Free throw shooting has bit John Calipari's teams in the past — remember some of his teams at Memphis — and that's an area needing work.
One can only learn so much after blowing UNC-Asheville out at home. Kentucky's game against a talented Michigan State team next Tuesday will be a good barometer of just how far along the Wildcats are — how the youthful talent on Kentucky maintains their composure against a veteran Spartan team will be telling.
One of the primary questions of this team over the summer months was if Cal could get these future NBA players to all buy-in. Tonight was a step in that direction.
- kingghidora - Nov 9, 2013 at 10:01 PM
It's still the first game for a very young team. Give them a week at least before you pick them apart. Randle scored 23 and got 15 boards and really looked like he could have done much more. The guy is a beast. Let's talk about him pushing the fast break, going behind his back with the dribble and looking like a point guard doing it. Then remember the guy is 6'9″ and 250. He's big, strong, fast, and has great hands and feet. Plus he can shoot. And he plays defense. What's left? He has the total package. He can play any position on the floor and do it well. People laughed at Demarcus Cousins when he said he wanted to play guard at UK. Now he brings the ball down the floor a lot for the Kings and shoots from outside a lot plus he can drive past slower defenders with ease. Well I'm saying that Randle can play PG and do it well if he wants to do it. The world will know this guy's name if he stays healthy.

The year 2012 saw Viswanathan Anand winning his fifth World championship. That certainly was the highest point for Indian chess, but there were several other gains as well.
Anand, expectedly, defeated Boris Gelfand of Israel in Moscow to defend his crown, though the World No. 4 faced a stiffer challenge than he would have anticipated from a player ranked 16 places below him. The match was undecided after 12 games of normal duration, but Anand broke through in the second game of the tie-breaker (played in the rapid time control) to extend his reign as the undisputed World champion for the sixth year.
It was Anand's third successive title in this format (in which the champion faces a challenger). He has also won the World championship in knockout and round-robin tournament formats. He truly is a versatile World champion.
He could not take his Moscow form to the tournaments he played afterwards, as he disappointed both at the Bilbao Chess Masters and the London Chess Classic.
Humpy disappoints in Worlds
Koneru Humpy, India's greatest talent in chess after Anand, had a disappointing outing at the women's World championship, which was also staged in Russia. At Khanty Mansiysk, she was shocked by Ukraine's Natalia Zhukova in the second round.
The World No. 2 from Vijayawada was the highest-rated among the 64 women — the World No. 1 Judit Polgar is so good that she competes only with men — and was one of the strong favourites to be crowned the queen, especially after her fine showing in the Grand Prix circuit. She won the Grand Prix at Kazan and Ankara and was fourth at Jermuk.
Her State-mate, D. Harika had a more memorable World championship though, as the 12th seed reached the quarterfinals. It was indeed a tournament that paid scant regard to seeding — No. 30, Anna Ushenina of Ukraine won the World title beating No. 16, Antoaneta Stefanova of Bulgaria.
Harika also played a key role in Indian women's best-ever performance at the Chess Olympiad. In Istanbul, India finished fourth, despite the absence of Humpy who opted out. There was more reason to be happy as Tania Sachdev picked up an individual bronze medal in Turkey, on the third board.
Abhijeet Gupta won the silver on the fourth board, but it wasn't a great tournament otherwise for the Indian men (without Anand, who rarely plays at the Olympiad) — they finished 35th, after being seeded 13th.
Future in safe hands
That India's future in the sport is in safe hands was proved at the World Youth championship in Maribor, Slovenia. Eight Indians returned home with medals, keeping the country's brilliant record in the event intact.
The girls, in particular, were outstanding, as three of them struck gold — M. Mahalakshmi (U-14), R. Vaishali (U-12) and N. Priyanka (U-12). And there were bronze medals for G.K. Monisha (U-14) and Riya Savant (U-12).
Though no Indian boy clinched the title, there were silver medals for Girish Kaushik (U-16) and Aravind Chidambaram (U-14) and a bronze for Ram Aravind (U-10).
Not surprisingly, India was unstoppable at the Asian Youth championship (classical, rapid and blitz) too, in Sri Lanka, winning 34 medals, including 16 golds.
India didn't do badly at the continental level either, as Parimarjan Negi emerged Asian champion in Vietnam. In the women's event, Mary Ann Gomez finished runner-up.

It would be logical to look in a related organism, especially if the nonthreatened organism lives in a similar habitat.
It would be pointless since exploiting relatives of endangered species is a violation of the Endangered Species Act.
It would be a waste of time since all species have unique metabolism.

Error Resilient Coding and Error Concealment in Scalable Video Coding
Date Added: Aug 2009
Format: PDF
Scalable Video Coding (SVC), which is the scalable extension of the H.264/AVC standard, was developed by the Joint Video Team (JVT) of ISO/IEC MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) and ITU-T VCEG (Video Coding Experts Group). SVC is designed to provide adaptation capability for heterogeneous network structures and different receiving devices with the help of temporal, spatial, and quality scalabilities. It is challenging to achieve graceful quality degradation in an error-prone environment, since channel errors can drastically deteriorate the quality of the video. Error resilient coding and error concealment techniques have been introduced into SVC to reduce the quality degradation impact of transmission errors.

I can finally talk about it externally. Today Microsoft announced the 6 versions of Vista that are heading your way. I thought I would share the information with you in a simplified format without the marketing speek. This is by NO MEANS a detailed discussion about all the differences between all the versions or a detailed discussion of the feature set – I am sure there will be plenty of time to have more discussion around Vista as the days go on.
6 versions will be available – 2 targeted at Business, 3 at the consumer market - 1 only available in "Emerging Markets". All except 1 (emerging market) are available in 32 and 64 bit environments.
In the Business category:Windows Vista Business
Window Vista Enterprise
For ConsumersWindows Vista Home Basic
Windows Vista Home Premium
Windows Vista Ultimate
But wait - that is only 5? Where is the 6th? It's called Windows Vista Starter due to be released only in emerging markets – targeted at lower end systems and only in 32 bit.
Before you jump up and ask "do I have to throw out my older computer to use vista?" Let me answer that question by saying that I have loaded my old 700Mhz system with 512 megs of ram and a 32 meg nvidia card and it works just fine with the current Community Technology Preview build (February release). It's not something that I would be editing any videos on and it doesn't support the Aero Glass interface, but for doing what it is being used for (email, web and kids games) it works just fine thank you! I could go out an buy a stronger video card for the Aero Glass interface, but I am on a restricted hardware budget ever since the twins came along.
Much more information to come. If you are looking for more IT Pro related information – here it is.. We're already populating info on the TechNet site. I can't wait to talk some more about the underlying technologies – once I get back from the tour. I promised Bruce that I would stay focused as much as possible for the next few weeks until the tour is over.
Rick has just posted this information over on the CanITPro blog (http://blogs.technet.com/canitpro/archive/2006/02/27/420707.aspx)...

I would like to congratulate all players that have been selected in the initial squad for the Mallee Football League. This year we have another opportunity to take on a major league in the Wimmera Football league. Following the success of last years' encounter with the North Central Football League I hope that the interest at this level of football is still as high as it has been in the past two years. The opportunity to show case the standard of our competition and the calibre of player that we have in all sides within the Mallee Football League is one that I am sure all Clubs and all players alike will support passionately so that we can select the best squad and best side possible to represent our strong competition.
The Board, myself, Jeremy and selectors hope to see as many players selected in the squad at training on the allocated days and night, so that we give ourselves the best opportunity of winning the match which would be a massive achievement in the history of the Mallee Football League.
Thank you

Durham County home sales up 6.4 percent in May
Durham County saw a 6.4 percent increase in home sales in May, continuing the streak of year-over-year home sales increases that the county has seen each month since March of last year.
The county's sales increase outpaced the approximately 3 percent increase seen across the four Triangle counties of Durham, Orange, Wake and Johnston. Each individual county saw an increase in the month except Orange, which saw a decrease of 30 closings for a total of 150 in the month.
Orange was also the only county to see a decline in either the average or median sales price in the month. Orange's median sales price fell 4.3 percent, while its average remained relatively flat at 0.7 percent. Durham County's median and sales prices increased 2.5 percent in May compared with the prior year.
"We're definitely seeing … good activity, and people looking," said Kirk West, the president of the Durham Regional Association of Realtors. However, West also said there's still a lack of inventory in the county.
Inventory was down 12.4 percent in May to a total of 1,616 homes. There was a 5.1 months' supply of inventory on the market, which was down 22.8 percent. However, new listings ticked up 3.5 percent in the month to 534 listings.
"Some people are taking a little longer to find the right house because it's being sold before they make an offer or (they have) a multiple offer situation, and don't win," West said. "I think…Durham in particular is growing, and we've got some great activity downtown, and more people are realizing what Durham has to offer."
Stacey Anfindsen, a Cary-based residential real estate appraiser and market analyst, said May marked a turning point across the four-county Triangle market for re-sale inventory, but not for Durham.
According to Anfindsen's data, which counts re-sale inventory on the 10th day of each month, Durham County re-sale inventory was down 6 percent year-over-year in May, while each of the other three counties in the Triangle saw increases.
"So the sellers, they're still having a tough time getting prices up in the county enough to get those sellers who purchased in 2006, 2010, in to the market," Anfindsen said. "And that's different than the overall four-county market. In the overall four-county market, we finally had re-sale inventory growth…"

Shaving her head for the cause
A reader e-mailed me about her friend – a local Seattle woman whose husband was diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer called multiple myeloma. She's trying to raise awareness and money for research. If she can raise $10,000 for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, she's pledged to shave her head. How or when we'll know if this happens, I'm not sure…but she has a neat little map of the country on her site that shows how many people form each state has donated and how much. Surprisingly, Washington (her current state of residence) isn't at the top of the list. Check out her blog here. [Read More]
Join Char's team and Race for the Cure
Char Davis is at it again. Last year the PI profiled her while helping to raise awareness about the annual Race for the Cure. While there are many people whose personal stories are compelling (I'd love to hear about them.

Microbes really matter. Their importance ranges from causing disease to making ecosystems run smoothly. Our research attempts to address how the environment (both physical and other organisms) shapes how they evolve to do what they do. Rather than inferring evolution in natural populations, we literally follow the evolution of microbes in real time under defined conditions. This is made possible by the very short generation times and massive population sizes of microbes, and the precise experimental control afforded by laboratory conditions.
Our major interest is the evolutionary ecology of pathogenic microbes and their hosts. For example, understanding: the causes and consequences of coevolution between bacteria and their parasitic viruses; the ecological and genetic conditions that results in parasites evolving to cause severe compared with mild infections; and the conditions that favour bacteria to cooperate with each other, or otherwise.

|English 226a
M. Booth
This course observes Elizabethan minds at work on themselves, their past, and the world they were beginning to encounter. Our texts will be: 1) a pocket anthology of Elizabethan literature; 2) an anthology of early modern travel writings; 3) a collection of historical documents ranging from Rafael Holinshed's Chronicles to Queen Elizabeth's "Edict Arranging for the Expulsion from England of Negroes and Blackamoors." Amidst such materials as seem particularly illuminating about Elizabethan culture, we will pay close attention to the predominating literary forms and styles of the period, from the sonnet to the revenge tragedy, the satirical pamphlet to the metrical psalm.
A major subtopic of the course will be the early interaction between Europeans and indigenous people in the New World, and how the encounter was represented at the time and has been remembered since. A liberal-arts class in the 21st century is liable to confront such materials with various and perhaps conflicting motives: On the one hand, we may desire to understand ourselves and our collective origins as an English-speaking and Spanish-speaking society on American soil, and may wish imaginatively to inhabit the viewpoints of people on each side of it, to see the Europeans as the Native Americans saw them and vice versa; on the other hand, particularly in light of the last generation of scholarship and historical reappraisal, we may perceive a moral imperative to question some of the affective or aesthetic investments that inform our habits of thought about this period. We will consider a series of recurrent questions: how pilgrimage, commerce and exploration have shaded into crusade or conquest; how classical and medieval inheritances have shaped European understandings of the New World; how Spanish and English colonialisms resembled one another and differed.
Course Objectives:
This course will help students understand…
* the political context and conceptual backgrounds of Elizabethan writing.
* consequences of English expansion for the peoples encountered or colonized.
* ways that the age of discovery changed English society, language and thought.
* the referential and expressive range of 16th and 17th century English.

Alex Brinker is now 10-1 on the season after winning on Thursday.
March 4, 2013
HONOLULU - Freshman Alex Brinker improved her singles winning-streak to nine and was the lone victor for the Xavier women's tennis team which dropped a 6-1 to 40th-ranked San Diego State.
The Musketeers (7-4) dropped their match against the Aztecs to close out their spring break trip to Hawaii.
Brinker defeated Alicia Aguilar 6-1, 7-5 at the No. 2 singles spot making the Xavier rookie 10-1 on the season. Her only loss came to the 62nd-ranked Rebecca Shine of Louisville on Jan. 20.
Xavier dropped all five of its other singles match and also dropped the doubles point to begin the match. Freshman Caitlin Lawless made her first appearance of the spring and lost a spirited two-set match (7-5, 6-4) at the No. 6 singles position.
The Musketeers will kick off a stretch of several home matches in March this weekend when it hosts Massachusetts on Friday and IUPUI on Saturday. Both matches begin at 7 p.m. and will be played at the Eastern Hills Indoor Tennis Complex.

Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom," the big new series of the summer that premieres Sunday night on HBO, fails to meet the high expectations that greet it, save one: It is crammed with incessant gibber-jabber.
Characters never stop speechifying to one another, replacing believable dialogue with that unmistakably Sorkinesque logorrhea of righteous self-importance. It's a puppet show with Sorkin as the only hand, expressing his displeasure with the tenor of public discourse. (Which everyone knows has reached an unctuous low.) "The Newsroom" is principally concerned with how American society has been ruined by the blaring insipidity of our 24-7 media culture. The theme song swells with a collage of images of the founding fathers of television news, but if Edward R. Murrow is watching, I suspect he's chuckling in his grave rather than spinning in it. (Fun fact: Murrow was cremated.)

This class is an intensive, advanced reading seminar on contemporary ethnography with an emphasis on how the craft of anthropology draws on its disciplinary resources to address the predicaments of social marginalization in the contemporary 'globalizing' world. We will test the fate of key 20th century theoretical movements in anthropology (structural functionalism, culture and personality, structuralism, neo-Marxism, literary post-modernism, etc.) through their application in ethnography. Seminars will be organized through student presentations and responses.

Phoenix apartment fire leaves 1 dead, 4 others injured
PHOENIX -- Early Sunday morning, officials with both the Phoenix Police Department and the Phoenix Fire Department responded to an apartment fire at a complex located at 5601 W. McDowell Rd.
As firefighters battled the fire inside the residence, they discovered that five people were living in the apartment.
"One of the firefighters made his way inside to a back bedroom," Officer James Holmes of the Phoenix PD told KTAR. "The door is closed and he immediately kicks that door in. The room is engulfed in smoke to the point where he almost has to get on his knees to get inside.
"Unfortunately, what he finds is a family of five -- a 33-year-old mother and four children all unconscious."
The oldest of the four children inside, a 14-year-old girl, was pronounced dead at the scene.
While the other four of the victims -- the 33-year-old mother and her three children ages 10, three and three months old -- were all transported to nearby area hospitals.
The three-year-old and three-month-old are listed in extremely critical but stable condition, while the mother and her 10-year-old are listed in critical condition.
Upon further investigation it's believed that the fire may have been started intentionally, thus it's being treated as a homicide.
"We conducted our investigation and as we moved forward we were able to develop information that this fire was suspicious and might well be arson," said Holmes.
Holmes went on to add that a person of interest has been taken into police headquarters.

Because all medical interventions involve known and unknown risks, pediatricians should work with health care teams to create safe patient care environments and prevent medical errors by focusing on a systems approach which seeks to identify and learn from errors. However, the Academy believes that when patients are harmed by medical care they should be compensated fairly without waiting years because of legal maneuvering. Unfortunately, the tort system is unfair to the very people it is supposed to help. Only 43 cents of the awards dollar is retained by patients as compensation; the remainder goes to administrative costs, which include attorneys' fees. Physicians who take care of children, including but not limited to pediatricians, obstetricians, family practitioners, and surgeons must deal with a unique patient population consisting of minors. They face unprecedented and unique legal challenges related to a long statute of limitations. This has profound medico-legal and actuarial consequences. Unique solutions must be used to address these challenges. The Academy supports the reforms of the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA), California's 1975 landmark legislation with a proven record of making medical liability insurance available and affordable. The Academy believes that the following reforms are needed to make sure that patients receive timely, full and fair awards when a wrongful or neglectful medical event occurs: The Academy recommends state statutes of limitation of two years with the toll beginning from the occurrence (rather than discovery) of an injury, and establishes a child's majority at age 6 for the purpose of medical liability. Periodic payments of future damages exceeding $100,000; Non-economic damages should be capped at a reasonable amount; There should be mandatory offsets for collateral sources (with credit for out-of-pocket costs of collateral sources); Use of a sliding scale for plaintiff lawyer fees; A "fair share" rule that allocates damage awards fairly and in proportion to fault; and Punitive damages should be awarded only if there is "clear and convincing" evidence that the injury meets the standard set by each jurisdiction and for acts for which the defendant is directly responsible. In those cases, punitive damages should be limited to a reasonable amount. For states that have not been able to pass comprehensive medical liability reform laws, we support the allocation of federal grants to enable the exploration of state or local-based demonstration or pilot programs that have the potential to improve the current litigation climate through measures that could expedite equitable resolutions of disputes and contribute to the reduction of litigation costs and the practice of defensive medicine. These alternatives include: Expert Witness Qualifications As specified in the AAP policy statement "Expert Witness Participation in Civil and Criminal Proceedings" Pediatrics 2009; 124:428-438. Health Courts Health courts could provide a forum, through either a bench or jury trial, where medical liability actions could be heard by judges specially trained in medical liability matters and who hear only medical liability cases. The negligence standard would be the minimum threshold for compensation to award damages. The recovery of economic damage awards would be based on a schedule. Medical experts and expert witnesses would have to meet established qualifications. Early Disclosure and Compensation Programs Under an early disclosure and compensation model, providers, including physicians, would be required to notify a patient of an adverse event within a limited period of time. Notification does not constitute an admission of liability. Providers offering to compensate for injuries in good faith would be provided immunity from liability. Payments for non-economic damages would be based on a defined payment schedule developed by the state in consultation with relevant experts and with the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Administration of a Determination of Compensation Model A state's administrative entity would be charged with setting a compensation schedule for injuries, resolving claims for injuries, and establishing compensation based on the patient's net economic loss, subject to periodic payment and offset by collateral payments form sources such as insurance. Liability Protections for Use of Evidence-Based Medicine GuidelinesDevelop a pilot program at the state level relating to evidence-based medicine guidelines, including defining the scope of the program, types of liability protections and/or defenses, and measures for evaluation the effectiveness of the program. The pilot program would be developed and overseen by a multi-stakeholder group that must include significant physician participation. The evidence-based guidelines, including justifications for departure from the guidelines, would be developed evaluated, reviewed, updated, and promulgated by national medical specialty societies to other public or private groups that provide physicians with substantial representation on oversight committees and with central decision-making roles in the development of the guidelines. Physicians who elect to participate in the program would utilize evidence-based guidelines and those participating physicians who follow evidence-based guidelines would receive liability protections for diagnosis and treatment in compliance with the guidelines. There would also be no presumption of negligence if a participating physician does not utilize the guidelines. Physicians would receive legal protection for using evidence-based medicine guidelines and/or their clinical judgment based on their patient's particular care and needs. Advertising Disclaimer

How do I stop the purple stain on my wall?
I have a small mauve/purple patch which keeps appearing no matter how often it's painted over.It's on an interior wall. I have been advised that it's something to do with the stud wall. What can I put on before I paint over it, please?
by Matt Long, Jul 3, 2012
There are quite a few paints on the market designed to stop stains coming through them. One is Polycell's One Coat Stain Stop.
However, there is a chance that the discolouration is not coming through the walls as such, but is something called 'ghosting'. This is a complicated issue, and means it could be the discolouration is landing on the surface of the walls from dust particles in the air of your home, so painting over the area may not stop it happening again.
Here's a website that discusses the issue. Basically, no one is quite sure why it happens, but following the advice on the web page may help.
To start with, I would try the above paint, and see what happens.
Also, I am assuming here that the discolouration is not from damp, or a leak, and you've had the wall checked for these options.
Need any more help?

Ok, so Dale Earnhardt Jr. did not win the 2013 NASCAR Championship as we know; at least under the previous Chase format. However, with the new rules out, Earnhardt Jr. would have in fact, been your winner in 2013 if these rules were in place. So, Junior Nation, there is hope for you and your driver after all to win a championship.
This move to the new format claims to be all about winning; they have said that for years. But in 2013 alone, and Earnhardt Jr. being you champion, proves that winning is not everything and it never has been. But here we are again with a new format and new points and new everything! It may be a bit hard to understand the new rules so I am going to use 2013 to explain it to you. And yes, there is math involved but I know you can all follow along.
Let me set the scene for you; Richmond, in September, at night. The race has finished and Carl Edwards has captured the flag and sits atop the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points standings; well, he did. The Chase for the Sprint Cup is now here. 11 drivers have won a race: Matt Kenseth [5] , Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, [4], Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne [2], Greg Biffle, Martin Truex Jr., Ryan Newman, Joey Logano, David Ragan [1]. And the 5 highest non-winners in the points have been seeded to contend for the Championship: Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski, and Jeff Gordon.
The points have been reset to 2000 a piece plus 3 bonus points for every win earned in the regular season; this puts Kenseth on top with 2015 points.
Challenger Round (Chicagoland, Loudon, Dover):
Kenseth grabs 2 wins and Johnson grabs 1 (to sum it up nice and quick; no pun intended). Off to the leader board we go and it looks as thus:
Matt Kenseth [2 wins] - 2149
Jimmie Johnson [1 win] - 2141
Kyle Busch - 2137
Kevin Harvick - 2110
Jeff Gordon - 2110
Greg Biffle - 2108
Ryan Newman - 2104
Clint Bowyer - 2098
Kurt Busch - 2094
Martin Truex Jr. - 2093
Dale Earnhardt Jr. - 2092
Carl Edwards - 2084
Joey Logano - 2083
Brad Keselowski - 2079
Kasey Kahne - 2077
David Ragan - 2056
After the Challenger Round, we bid farewell to Logano, Keselowski, Kahne, and Ragan; sorry fellas, but your chance for the shiny trophy has come to an end. We wish you better luck next year. We now reset the points to 3000 a piece.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There are no bonus points awarded for wins in the Chase; every driver will start with the exact same points; but points for leading laps/leading the most laps are still in play.
The Contender Round (Kansas, Charlotte, Talladega):
The races have completed and everyone made it through Talladega; some better than other mind you. It is important to note that Kevin Harvick has won a race during the Contender Round so he is moving on for sure regardless of where he is in the points right now. The points have been tallied and over to the leader board we go!
Kevin Harvick [1 win] - 3118
Jimmie Johnson - 3113
Dale Earnhardt Jr. - 3110
Jeff Gordon - 3110
Carl Edwards - 3102
Matt Kenseth - 3101
Clint Bowyer - 3099
Kurt Busch - 3099
Greg Biffle - 3093
Kyle Busch - 3091
Martin Truex Jr. - 3083
Ryan Newman - 3081
After the Contender Round, we bid farewell to Biffle, Kyle Busch, Truex Jr., and Newman; you four have fought valiantly, but your chance for the shiny trophy, too, has come to an end. We wish you better luck next year.
Reset time! We now reset the points to 4000 a piece. With me so far?
Eliminator Round (Martinsville, Texas, Phoenix):
The 8 remaining drivers have fought tooth and nail, and beaten and banged up (at least their cars are) and have done all they could to put themselves into position to win one of these final three races to ensure they head to Homestead Speedway with a chance at hoisting the trophy. Well, there is good news for 3 of these drivers; Gordon, Johnson, and Harvick each won a race and they are safe from elimination. There is 1 spot that remains and that spot goes to the driver who did not win a race but accumulated the best finishes and thus the most points. Let us take a look at the leader board to find out who that lucky guy is:
Jimmie Johnson [1 win] - 4130
Kevin Harvick [1 win] - 4122
Dale Earnhardt Jr. - 4119
Matt Kenseth - 4106
Clint Bowyer - 4100
Kurt Busch - 4092
Jeff Gordon [1 win] - 4084
Carl Edwards - 4064
Now, as you see here, the top 4 in points are Johnson, Harvick, Earnhardt Jr. and Kenseth respectively. However, since Gordon, Johnson, and Harvick won a race, they are in it to win it (as the saying goes). So if we pretend they are not in the points battle, we are left with:
Dale Earnhardt Jr. - 4119
Matt Kenseth - 4106
Clint Bowyer - 4100
Kurt Busch - 4092
Carl Edwards - 4064
Therefore, fan favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr. has earned the final spot in Homestead with Hendrick Motorsports teammates, and Harvick. Poor Kenseth fell oh so short and after having such an awesome first year with a new team; we can only expect to see him fighting even harder next year. We'd like to thank Bowyer, Kurt Busch, and Edwards for partaking in this battle but they are no longer going to win the championship and the glory that comes with it.
NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship (Homestead):
35 races have been completed in the 2013 season and we are at the final race of the year. The crowd is roaring, the drivers are ready, and 4 drivers are more nervous than the rest of the field as they know they have to bring their A++++++ game today if they want to hoist the trophy at the end of the day.
The points have been reset one final time to 5000 a piece. Now, if you want to win the championship, you must finish ahead of the remaining 3 chasers.
These 4 drivers seem to have brought their A++++++ game with them; they know this is the end, the last battle, their final statement, to prove they are the NASCAR Champion. They have all fought hard, driven harder than any race this year in hopes of beating the others. One driver has done that today better than the other 3 (hence why he is the champion). We head on over to the leader board one last time to see who has won (because we could care less who finished 2nd through 16th):
Dale Earnhardt Jr. - 5042
Jimmie Johnson - 5035
Kevin Harvick - 5035
Jeff Gordon - 5033
He may not have had any bonus points going into this race but he sure had the finish when it counted. He did not win the race, but he has won the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship: DALE EARNHARDT JR!!!!!!!!!!!! Junior Nation has been waiting for this day for far too long now. They can finally celebrate the championship winning ways of their favorite driver.
Without winning a single race all season but being one of the most consistent drivers in the garage, Dale Jr. has pulled off an upset by defeating Johnson, Harvick, and Gordon in the final race of the season.
Maybe winning is not everything after all...

'It's About Connections'
Singing opera is a bit like playing tight end says football player Josh Lee, who does both with grace.
"There's a total focus," he says. "In music, you concentrate on how you'll hit a note, rather than how you'll hit a player from the other team. You might be nervous, but you've worked out all the details in the practice room, so when you perform you don't have to think about it -- it just flows.
"The same technique happens on the football field. You've already put in your time and effort so you don't have to worry about the next step -- just where you're headed."
Right now, Lee is headed for a teaching career, working on a Master of Arts in Teaching through Willamette's one-year graduate program. He's hoping to conduct choral music, teach math and coach football. "The combination could shatter some paradigms," he smiles. "I think music is an extremely important part of education, especially today, when so much of what we value as a society is communicated through music."
Lee didn't get a good dose of classical music until he got to Willamette. In between football practice, the Willamette Jazz Singers, Male Ensemble Willamette, and a student a cappella group called Headband, he signed up for Chamber Choir and started voice lessons, where he was introduced to composers like Bach and Handel.
"One of the things that attracted me to classical music was the difficulty," Lee says. "And there's just a lot of classical music that's really beautiful. 'Beautiful' means different things to different people in different settings, but it comes down to how it makes you feel. Opera focuses on communicating a depth of feeling through music. There is a lot of mental and emotional engagement."
Lee has been engaged with music since boyhood. At home the family sang before bedtime. He found folk hymns and rock music in church, and at Christmas his father recorded singing cards. During high school he fit musical theatre and choir into his football schedule.
When Lee left home for the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, he formed an a cappella group, which practiced in between mechanical engineering classes and glider training. "A glider is like an airplane without an engine," Lee says. "You fly behind the plane, and gravity is the only thing that moves you when they cut you loose."
It seems Lee landed in a good place. On break from the academy, he spent a semester at Willamette, where he shifted from mechanical engineering to music, and decided to stay.
"Now the doors have opened here to pursue music teaching," he says. The career may also enable him to use summers off to perform at summer opera festivals.
"I want to do something where I can see a difference," says Lee, who sees a common thread to running football plays, singing arias and teaching students. "For me, it's all about people. If you don't do something as a means to love people, it's meaningless.
"I love football, but if there wasn't a team and the camaraderie and shared goal, I wouldn't enjoy it. And I could perform an aria better than I've ever performed in my life, but if it's just about being the best performer, I've missed the point.
"It's more about treating everyone as children of God, who have dignity and worth and need to be loved. It's about connections."
