Supports Intensity Scale
Individualized Budget
Service Planning/Delivery
The Supports Intensity Scale® was developed by the American Association of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD). The Supports Intensity Scale is also known as the "SIS."
SIS assessments identify what help a person with intellectual or developmental disabilities needs to do the same things that others without disabilities do every day. It measures the assistance needed to shop, prepare meals, get around from place to place, work, have friendships, and other daily life activities.
Read more about this tool by visiting the SIS website .
In North Carolina, as in a number of other states, the SIS is being used for two purposes:
Read more about How NC is Using SIS Information.
A trained SIS interviewer leads a discussion of your need for support in different life activities. In North Carolina, SIS interviewers will be certified by AAIDD, the developers of the SIS.
You are required to participate in the SIS assessment meeting, even if you are only able to participate for part of the meeting. If you are absolutely not able to attend, the SIS interviewer will arrange to meet you before or after the assessment interview.
People at your SIS assessment meeting should know you very well.

Ultrasound is the use of high frequency sound waves to create images from within the body. By using these sound waves, images can be obtained of a variety of internal organs and structures. Ultrasound is utilized in studies of the major organs, the heart, blood vessels, and of course, in obstetrics where the unborn fetus can be observed.
We perform exams by using state-of-the-art equipment such as the ATL 5000 Sono CT and the HP 5500 Cardiac machine. Since all of our equipment is portable, most exams can be performed at the bedside, eliminating the need for transporting patients back and forth to our department. Our Ultrasound Lab is currently undergoing the accreditation process with the American College of Radiology. Our Sonographers are all graduates of accredited Ultrasound schools and are registered or registry eligible with the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers.
Ultrasound is used in a variety of clinical settings, including obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology and cancer detection. The main advantage of Ultrasound is that certain structures can be observed without using radiation.
The Ultrasound Department performs a wide variety of diagnostic and interventional procedures. Areas of particular expertise include Thyroid nodule diagnosis and fine needle aspiration and gynecological, obstetrical, vascular, cardiac and general Sonography.
- Detecting kidney masses
- Seeing kidney stones or kidney obstruction
- Checking for urinary retention
- Provide guidance for kidney cyst aspiration or transrectal prostate biopsy
Intraoperative Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a valuable tool in the Operating Room. It can be used to localize tumors, aid with inserting instruments, or a variety of other applications.
Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Measuring the size of the fetus to determine the due date
- Determining the position of the fetus to see if it is in the normal head down position or breech
- Checking the position of the placenta to see if it is improperly developing over the opening to the uterus (cervix)
- Seeing the number of fetuses in the uterus
- Checking the sex of the baby (if the genital area can be clearly seen)
- Checking the fetus's growth rate by making many measurements over time
- Detecting ectopic pregnancy, the life-threatening situation in which the baby is implanted in the mother's Fallopian tubes instead of in the uterus
- Determining whether there is an appropriate amount of amniotic fluid cushioning the baby.
- Monitoring the baby during specialized procedures – Ultrasound has been helpful in seeing and avoiding the baby during amniocentesis (sampling of the amniotic fluid with a needle for genetic testing). Years ago, doctors used to perform this procedure blindly. However, with accompanying use of Ultrasound, the risks of this procedure have dropped dramatically.
- Seeing tumors of the ovary and breast
- Obstetrical Ultrasound
- Level II Obstetrical Ultrasound
- Fetal Biophysical Profile
- Ultrasound Guidance for Amniocentesis
- Fetal Non-Stress Testing
- Pelvic (GYN) Ultrasound
- Ultrasound Guidance for Ovarian Cyst Aspiration
- Hysterosonography
Neonatal Sonography
- Evaluation of the brain (up to six months)
- Check for congenital hip dislocation or hip infections
- Evaluation of the spine in infants with sacral dimples
- Imaging of the GI tract including Pyloric Stenosis
- Cardiac imaging for infants with murmurs or suspected birth defects
Requesting Films
If your physician requested you to bring your films to your next office visit, please mention this to the radiology office staff when you check in, and your films will be ready for you shortly after your exam.
If anytime after your exam you need to borrow your films, please call our Diagnostic Imaging department at (954) 978-4186.

The Anaheim Ducks traded former first-round pick Logan MacMillan to the Calgary Flames on Wednesday for forward Jason Jaffray. Conditional seventh-round picks in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft could also be exchanged depending on several criteria.
MacMillan, a center, was taken in 2007 with the 19th selection. He has yet to appear in an NHL game, playing in 2009-10 with the Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL -- where he registered 2 goals and 6 points in 30 games -- and the Abbotsford Heat of the AHL, going scoreless in seven games.
Jaffray is a 29-year-old veteran who has played in 36 career NHL games for the Canucks and Flames, registering 4 goals and 10 points.

Rumors are circulating that BioWare Austin, in charge of the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic, is facing layoffs today. Those rumors remain unconfirmed but one staff departure is happening. Executive producer Rich Vogel has departed the company.
Vogel was in charge of The Old Republic's ongoing development, part of a twenty year history working in MMOs. He actually helped launch the first-ever MMO, Meridian 59, before working on others such as Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies.
The Old Republic has faced serious challenges since its successful launch. It has seen steadily dropping subscriber numbers and recently went free-to-play up to level fifteen.
Vogel's departure came before layoff rumors started appearing on the Web. It's also unclear whether these rumors concern scheduled layoffs as part of BioWare's announced restructuring of the studio or a new downsizing process at the studio. One thing that is for certain is that the latest Star Wars MMO is facing some real challenges it can hopefully overcome.

|Flight origin
The 1940 Canberra air disaster was an aircraft crash that occurred near Canberra, the capital of Australia, on 13 August 1940, during World War II. All ten people on board were killed: six passengers, including three members of the Australian Cabinet and the Chief of the General Staff; and four crew.[1] The deaths of the three cabinet ministers severely weakened the United Australia Party government of Robert Menzies and contributed to its fall in 1941.[2]
The Ministers and General White, with their staff, were being flown from Melbourne to Canberra for a Cabinet meeting. The aircraft, an RAAF Lockheed Hudson II bomber, was flown by an experienced RAAF officer, Flight Lieutenant Robert Hitchcock. The aircraft, A16-97, had been in service with the RAAF since 20 June 1940, and was being operated by No.2 Squadron.[3]
The Melbourne Herald reported: "The plane was seen by watchers at the Canberra Aerodrome and the Air Force station to circle the drome, and then rise and head south. It disappeared behind a low tree-dotted hill. There was an explosion and a sheet of flame, followed by a dense cloud of smoke... The Canberra Fire Brigade and ambulances from Canberra and Queanbeyan, across the border in New South Wales, as well as several Air Force tenders, arrived soon afterwards and fire extinguishers were played on the blazing wreckage. After about half-an-hour, when the blaze had died down, it was seen that the entire undercarriage, wings and structural supports of the plane had been torn away and were a smouldering mass in which were the charred bodies of those on board."
Two other Cabinet ministers, Arthur Fadden, leader of the Country Party, and Senator George McLeay, had intended to fly to Canberra on the same flight, but for personal reasons decided to travel by train instead.
Brigadier Geoffrey Austin Street, Minister for the Army and Repatriation. A World War I veteran who had been awarded the Military Cross, Street entered Federal Parliament in 1934 and became Minister for Defence in 1938. With the onset of World War II, Street's portfolio was split, and he became Minister for the Army. He gained the Repatriation portfolio in 1940.
James Valentine Fairbairn, Minister for Air and Civil Aviation. A pastoralist and accomplished aviator who served with the Royal Flying Corps during World War I, Fairbairn was elected to Federal Parliament in 1933 and became Minister for Civil Aviation and Vice-President of the Executive Council in 1939. He was appointed Minister for Air at the onset of World War II, and regained the Civil Aviation portfolio in 1940.
Sir Henry Somer Gullett, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Minister in charge of Scientific and Industrial Research. A journalist until his enlistment in 1916, Gullett became Australia's official war correspondent for the AIF in Palestine in 1918. He was elected to Parliament in 1925, becoming Deputy Leader of the Opposition from 1929 to 1930, Minister for Trade and Customs from 1928 to 1929 and 1932 to 1933, Minister without portfolio from 1934 to 1937, Minister for External Affairs and Information from 1939 to 1940, and was appointed Vice-President of the Executive Council in March 1940.
General Sir Cyril Brudenell Bingham White, Chief of the General Staff. With a background of service with Australian forces in South Africa in 1902–03, White served as Chief of Staff to Generals Bridges and Birdwood during World War I. He became Chief of the General Staff in 1920 and, in 1923, was appointed the first chairman of the Public Service Board. White returned to the Army as Chief of the General Staff in 1940.
Lieutenant Colonel Francis Thornthwaite, Staff Officer to General White. An officer in the Australian Army from 1910, Thornthwaite was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and Military Cross for his service during World War I. He was serving as Army Liaison Officer on the General Staff at the time of his death.
Richard Edwin Elford. Elford, who had a good knowledge of aeronautics, was Fairbairn's private secretary.
RAAF crew:
- Flight Lieutenant Robert Edward Hitchcock
- Pilot Officer Richard Frederick Wiesener
- Corporal John Frederick Palmer
- Aircraftman Charles Joseph Crosdale
The cause of the crash has always been a mystery, although there has never been any suggestion of enemy action or sabotage. The crash took place at 10:15 in the morning in fine weather, in what the Melbourne Herald called "ideal flying conditions".
James Fairbairn had served in the Royal Flying Corps during World War I and still enjoyed flying. It has always been suspected that he may have persuaded the RAAF crew to allow him to fly the plane into Canberra. A week before the accident, Fairbairn told an Adelaide headmaster: "Hudson bombers have a rather nasty stalling characteristic … From what I have been told, a pilot coming in to land can find himself, suddenly and without warning, in a machine that is no longer airborne, heading straight to the ground … Personally, I think it's only a matter of handling your throttles wisely."[4]
More recently the RAAF Historian C. D. Coulthard-Clark, in his book The Third Brother, called into question the flying ability of the pilot-in-command, FLTLT Hitchcock. An account of his comments appears in the book Air Crash vol. 2 by noted Australian aviation writer Macarthur Job (Aerospace Publications, Canberra 1992).
Inquiry findings[edit]
The Court of Inquiry into the accident found that it was most likely due to the aircraft stalling on its landing approach, resulting in loss of control at a height too low to recover. [Modification to the wings of the Lockheed Hudson were later made utilising piercings of the leading edge to act as turbulators to reduce the severity of the aircraft's stall characteristics][attribution needed]. The aircraft crashed into a hill with great force, killing all occupants instantly, then burning fiercely. Since the crash was near the RAAF base, emergency crews were at the scene promptly, but nothing could be done to save the occupants.
Menzies was deeply affected by the crash, both personally and politically. "This was a dreadful calamity," he told the House of Representatives the next day. "For my three colleagues were my close and loyal friends. Each of them had a place not only in the Cabinet but in my heart". Although Menzies was not in fact close to Fairbairn personally or politically, Street and Gullett were among his closest supporters, and Gullett was a trusted senior adviser. When Menzies attended a memorial gathering at the site in 12 August 1960, 20 years after the crash, he was seen to be still very emotional in recalling the day.
In the wake of the loss of three senior Cabinet ministers, Menzies was forced to reshuffle his ministry. The Cabinet was permanently weakened by their loss, and this was a factor that undermined Menzies's position in the following months. One of those promoted in the reshuffle was Harold Holt, who was recalled from Army service and thus gained a promotion that eventually led to the Prime Ministership.
As a general election was due by the end of the year, it was felt prudent to call it for September, thus avoiding the necessity of also holding three by-elections. At the election, Fairbairn's seat of Flinders and Street's seat of Corangamite were retained by the UAP, but Gullett's seat of Henty was lost to an independent, Arthur Coles, who in 1941 was one of the two independents who voted to bring down the government (by then headed by the Country Party leader Arthur Fadden), allowing John Curtin of the Australian Labor Party to become Prime Minister.
In 1953 the RAAF base at Canberra was renamed Fairbairn Airbase in Fairbairn's honour. Two of the ministers were later followed into federal politics by their sons, Jo Gullett and Tony Street. After the war a memorial cairn was erected at the site.

Bright Star
2009. Great Britain/Australia. Jane Campion. 119 min.
Monday, January 11, 2010, 8:00 p.m.
Theater 1 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1), T1
Bright Star
2009. Great Britain/Australia. Written and directed by Jane Campion. With Ben Whishaw, Abbie Cornish. English poet John Keats was a key figure in the Romantic literary movement of the early nineteenth century. Romantic poets employed language that was full of sensual imagery, a reverence for the natural world, and outwardly reserved yet passionate inner emotions. Jane Campion's beautiful Bright Star explores Keats's romance with his landlady's daughter, Fanny Brawne. Separated by a wall in the Hampstead cottage they shared with several other boarders, John and Fanny are followers of a social code that promotes passion, but also chastity. The depth of their love is expressed in poems that pulse with yearning and desire, but when John and Fanny are together, they cannot muster more physical contact than chaste kisses and intertwined hands. As performed by Whishaw and Cornish, these diminutive actions culminate in a romantic reverie rather than any explicit love scene, and director Campion is equally restrained in editing and camera movement. 119 min.

From the Pro: In backswing, left arm should be straight but never stiff
Golfers have long been advised to "keep the left arm straight in the backswing." It remains one of golf's most important fundamentals. Here's why: the left arm (for right-handers) serves as the radius of the swing which makes the left shoulder the hub.
During the backswing, the left shoulder moves laterally a few inches as you coil behind the ball.
The left arm should be kept generally straight but never stiff, even if it causes a shorter backswing.
The object of every swing is to hit the ball on the club's sweet spot for maximum results.
But if the radius changes during the backswing, results can be very inconsistent. The width of the swing is more important than its height.
If you practice keeping your hands comfortably away from your head during the backswing the lead arm will remain straighter (but never stiff) at the top and more center-faced hits will follow.
Sweet-spot contact means more distance. And who doesn't want that?

Is the heyday of science blogging networks really over?
If so, then people must have been dozing at the wheel for the past six weeks. Although ScienceBlogs has had its problems, new networks are popping up daily, and – starting today – PLoS will be one of the crazies barreling down this dimly lit road.
Won't all of these new networks suffer the same fate as ScienceBlogs, (re-)learning the very hard lesson about the volatility of the blogosphere ecosystem?
Perhaps. But I believe networks can also learn equally important positive lessons from the past. There are clear examples where networks have thrived by bringing bloggers together, and in the process, they devised a detailed recipe for success. Their approach proved that networks aren't inherently destined to fail, and bloggers and organizations can co-exist.
These networks were successful because they took a great deal of time to define their vision, addressing tough questions like: What is the purpose of this network? How are we different from network X? What kind of content are we looking to host?
A detailed vision allowed these networks to find the right bloggers – people that heartily embraced the particular approach. It's not just about getting people with skyrocketing page-views. The bottom line is you have to find people that you respect and trust.
When an organization spends this much time upfront figuring out an approach, good things tend to happen. Take Discover Blogs, for instance, which followed this recipe. In many people's minds, including mine, Discover was the true gold-standard solely due to its content and brand. Rather than try to be the one-size-fits-all answer to science blogs, Discover found its niche: hire top-notch writers – like Ed Yong and Carl Zimmer – to report the intricacies and beauty of science.
In the wake of what happened at ScienceBlogs, we here at PLoS met several times to discuss what, if anything, we could do to help provide an alternative during this period of disarray within the science blogosphere. The team at PLoS that discussed our options spanned the company, involving our community manager (yours truly), our Directors of product strategy (Sara Wood), marketing (Liz Allen), IT (Rich Cave), publishing (Mark Patterson), and PLoS ONE/Community Journals (Pete Binfield), as well as our CEO (Peter Jerram) and COO (Steve Borostyan).
We knew media outlets were the likely candidates to step up and build the next generation networks, and we expected to see them jockey for position to snag the bloggers that had left ScienceBlogs.com. But PLoS isn't a giant media outlet. We're a non-profit open-access scientific and medical publisher that gives away T-shirts with hamsters on them.
In all seriousness, we're extremely good at what we do. We have a stable of highly-regarded journals. We've been a leader in open-access publishing since we started. But one of the legs of our mission is to reach the general public with scientific and medical information. No matter how hard we try, technical manuscripts that are written by experts for experts just don't meet that need. Blogs, on the other hand, provide a type of mid-level technical content, somewhere between a manuscript and a headline. They make science accessible to the lay reader.
Despite our good intentions, if we entered this new space, we expected people to ask: What does PLoS really know about running their own blog network?
And it's a fair question.
But, see, PLoS has always had a thing for blogging. Starting with the launch of our main blog, plos.org, back in 2006, PLoS staff quickly realized how informal chatter can draw readers in. As the popularity of our flagship blog grew – both in the blogosphere and within the PLoS offices – people soon expected more. Following suit, PLoS ONE launched their journal blog, everyONE in March 2009. Two months later, the editors of PLoS Medicine started Speaking of Medicine to interact with everyone interested in global health, in its widest sense.
PLoS' enthusiasm for the blogging efforts of its staff is unique, since very few academic journals support their own blogs, or see the need to do so.
Still, if we proceeded down this path to expand our blogs and bring independent bloggers onboard, we needed the right vision for our new network — this "PLoG" network.
There's been a lot of chatter in the blogosphere that any networks that spawn in the wake of #SbFAIL have to be one flavor or another: If you're an organization, you're only going to recruit writers with large, notable brands; on the flip side, if you're a smaller grass-roots network, you won't be able to snag those big names in the first place.
We weren't quite sure how PLoS squared with this logic. We're not a deep-pocketed corporate organization, but we certainly have a well-respected brand. We embody a certain grass-roots vibe, yet we have strong technical, administrative, and marketing support.
I guess the most important lesson we've learned in the past six weeks is that theory goes out the window when you actually set out to build a network. We didn't want to become another ScienceBlogs, or another Discover Blogs, for that matter. So we finally said screw it and did our own thing. We set out to create our own niche network.
Right out of the gates, we decided that we won't have any advertisements on our blog network. None. Not even PLoS ads. We may change these elements in the future, but for now, both PLoS and our "ploggers" feel that this is an appropriate approach for a blog network run by a non-for-profit organization such as ours.
We also wanted all of our content to be open-access under a CCAL license. Our bloggers would be granted full editorial control of their site, and wouldn't be required to meet any sort of minimum posting requirement each month. We decided that the only way PLoS would interfere with content was by setting some very liberal community guidelines upfront, but we'd hold our bloggers and users to the exact same standards.
In the spirit of openness, we wanted to find new and interesting ways for blogging networks to work together. To prove this, we are going to prominently feature content from other networks and media outlets on our Blog home page. Look to the right-hand side of the screen, and you'll see featured content from recognized media outlets (Ars Technica, Scientific American, and Wired).
We also wanted to promote the use of 'best' standards for science blogging. And although we wouldn't tell our bloggers what to write, we would encourage them to make use of services like researchblogging.org, as well as referencing DOIs whenever discussing research articles, which would also allow their content to figure into other PLoS products, such as article-level metrics.
We would aim to recruit bloggers whose interests align with what PLoS publishes. To say PLoS journals cover an extremely broad range of topics is an understatement. Just take a gander through the PLoS ONE table of contents if you don't believe me. Knowing we wanted to launch with a small and nimble network, we spent a great deal of time researching and recruiting top bloggers who were as diverse as our publishing focus. We enlisted the help of blogger extraordinaire, Bora Zivkovic, to guide our choices. But we didn't stop there. We also wanted to shake things up a bit by placing an equal mix of practicing scientists and writing pros side-by-side within a well-supported network. And we'd require – yes, require – people to have fun.
With a great community at its back, our crew would be poised to tackle diverse issues in science and medicine and cite examples where our lives and culture overlap with the lab. If our idea worked, we'd have a real chance at taking science communication in a whole new direction.
And with that, we finally felt we had distinguished ourselves from what had been done in the past. As we patted ourselves on the back for a job well done, one rather large question remained. Would bloggers buy into it? Would we be able to recruit the people we wanted? Gulp.
As we started nervously dialing our way down a very short list of people we felt were best aligned with what we were trying to do, our fears subsided. Those we spoke to instantly acknowledged that this mash-up of experts was in fact something unique. They understood that diversity makes us all smarter. Our network would allow these scientists and journalists – who typically live in their own little petri dishes – to cross pollinate. Our bloggers felt this experience would simply make them better.
On our network, you'll find an exciting mix of award-winning journalists and prolific researchers. You'll find people reporting breaking news and dissecting scientific studies. You'll meet bloggers whose previous homes were stretched across the blogosphere.
We know we've assembled a top-notch core of bloggers. So much so that their bios deserve their very own page on our site. But we aren't above name-dropping either (listed in blog name alphabetical order):

Well, it's easy to leak by not destroying continuations, but you already knew that :). What I've found is that an exception that crosses a continuation-boundary produces a leak (at least, that's my best deduction). If you catch the exception within the continuation, all is fine; but if you let it cross back into the guy that called the continuation, you're stuck. Seems to me I discovered this by toying with generator-like patterns: throwing an IndexError in the continuation, so the (caller of the) caller would fall out of a for loop. That's with 1.1. - Gordon

|Indra: Unmanned Helicopter for Naval Missions
|Wed, 31 March 2010 10:46
With the support of the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, along with the Ministry of Defence, Indra started a R&D project to develop an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) of rotary wings and with dual character, either for civil or defence fields. The system will be launched in 2012 and will be one of the first worldwide to meet mission needs of any naval force.
The system can run for 24 hours a day for a month. It was initially conceived for surveillance, maritime traffic control, border control and support of rescue missions. However, once regulations allow manned and unmanned aircraft to coexist in air space, the Pelicano system will give support in emergency situations or will watch infrastructures, among other applications.
Regarding its potential uses for naval ships, its accurate and automatic vertical takeoff and landing capacity (AVTOL) and its medium size (3.3 meter rotor diameter and around 200 kg maximum take-off weight) make it the perfect solution for ships. It can also adapt to meet the needs of the Army and Security Corps.
The system consists of 3 or 4 helicopters and a fully interoperable control station which will receive the information collected in the air in real time. The solution is based on a tactical helicopter with a 100 km operational range and capable of flying at 3,600 meters high. For its development, Indra signed an agreement with the Swedish company Cybaero and will use the APID60 platform which is currently in use.
Based on the platform, Indra will build a complex mission system. The system will incorporate night-vision infrared electro-optical sensors, capable of capturing high-resolution images at great heights. The company will also supply a thorough terrain segment which will control the helicopter and will receive images in real time and a secure communication link with a suitable bandwidth.
Pelicano can be integrated with the vessels command system, becoming an extension of the embarked radars and sensors.
The mission system includes an IFF transponder, an identification component, and is also prepared to carry a light-weight radar, electronic intelligence systems and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threat detection sensors.

There's a homespun, kitschy rec-room feel about this thoroughly barricaded, sunshine-proof gay barperched atop a hill in an appropriately John Watersy working-class neighborhood in Queens. Thrift-store sofas provide seating, and a seemingly handyman-erected stage stands tall on the back wall, hosting drag performances from Lauren Ordair karaoke on Wednesdays and Fridays. The beverage selection is a meat-and-potatoes mix of liquor and beer, but the clientele spans the gamut from gay, lesbian, bi, and curious to straight-up straight. And although the maple-leaf rainbow flag in the window suggests that even Canadians are welcome, this bar is practically in La Guardia south, so patrons are largely locals.

text: I've made it easier for parcels to add Items to collections by refactoring NewEvent to become NewItemEvent. I've updated the certificate parcel and Chandler's menus that create new Items to take advantage of it. Here's a more detailed description of the new event taken from the code: NewItemEvent creates a new Item, adds it to a collection (as an attribute of the event) and displays it properly. If the NewItemEvent implements the onNewItem method it will be called to create the item. This is handy if you want to use a dialog to get some information to create the item. If onNewItem returns None, no Item will be created. If you don't implement onNewItem an Item of kindParamter (as an attribute of the event) Kind is created. If kindParamter is None, a Kind matching the ApplicationBar is created, e.g. if you're in Calendar View you'll get a Calendar Item. If you're in All you'll get a Note. The view in the sidebar is switched to match the kind, e.g. if you create a CalendarItem, you'll switch to the calendar view. If there isn't a kind specific view, you'll switch to All view. Finally, the Item is selected in the SummaryView and displayed in the detail view. If the collection is None or it's not a UserCollection, the Item will be added to the all collection. If you specify a collectionAddEvent (as an attribute of the event) and your collection is not in the Sidebar, the collectionAddEvent will be used to add thecollection to the sidebar. The collectionAddEvent is typically an AddToSidebarEvent . John

MAIN ATTRACTION: Cate Blanchett and Katie Holmes brought some star wattage to Paris couture week, turning out for their pal Giorgio Armani's Privé show. The Italian designer is a major financial supporter of the Sydney Theatre Company, run by Blanchett and her husband, playwright Andrew Upton. "I'm about to start rehearsals for our production with Luc Bondy of Botho Strauss's play 'Gross Und Klein,'" said the Australian actress, wearing a lipstick red Armani skirt suit with Chopard earrings. Blanchett watched the show seated between Roslyn Packer, widow of the Australian media tycoon Kerry Packer, and Armani's niece Roberta. Holmes, wearing a black tuxedo-style shirt and trousers, lamented that she wouldn't get to spend more time in Paris. "I'm only here for the show," sighed the American actress, whose latest projects include the thriller "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark," due out in August and co-starring Guy Pearce, and "Jack and Jill," with Adam Sandler, scheduled for release in November.

Product Details
CONTIWINTERCONTACT TS810S Winter / Performance Tires (3531110000) by Continental®. 235/50R17, Speed Index 149 mph, Tire Weight 26.4 lbs. Be ready for snow, sleet, ice, slush, or whatever else Mother Nature can throw your way with high quality snow tires offered at CARiD. Crafted from the toughest materials and made to the latest technologies, the parts are sure to provide enhanced ice and snow traction and last for a long time.
- Ensure excellent control and grip on both ice and snow covered roads
- Extended blocks provide improved handling and braking stability
- Made of flexible resin to keep the treads free of snow
- Long-wearing tread to last
- Superior design
Driving your vehicle in cold temperature zones can negatively affect its overall performance. This is especially true for your tires. Cold weather may cause them to be dangerously underinflated. To avoid that, you should change your tires according to the season. Consequently, for the winter months, your car should have winter tires that will provide excellent traction on ice or snow. These have extra rows of sipes, which are small treads within larger tread sections that add extra grip in cold conditions. The rubber these tires are made of is thicker and contains a silica-based compound that maximizes contact with the road. To find the most reliable and durable winter tires for your vehicle, go with CARiD and enjoy comfortable driving in the areas where winter is tough.284.53Brand: Continental Part Number: 235/50R17
Continental was founded in Hanover in 1871 as the stock corporation "Continental-Caoutchouc- und Gutta-Percha Compagnie". The company's 50th anniversary sees Continental as the first German company to bring cord tire onto the market. The stiff linen square-woven fabric is thus replaced by the more pliable cord fiber fabric. The first giant pneumatic tires are made by Continental and replace the solid tires used until that time on commercial vehicles. Manufacturing at the main factory in Hanover included soft rubber products, rubberized fabrics, and solid tires for carriages and bicycles. The Passenger and Light Truck Tires division has production facilities at 54 locations in 35 countries and a workforce of 31,153. It generated sales of €7.0 billion in 2011. Today, Continental ranks among the top 5 automotive suppliers worldwide and holds the number 2 spot in Europe.

Bill Gates answers fans' questions on Reddit
- From: news.com.au
- February 13, 2013
FORMER Microsoft CEO Bill Gates took part in an "Ask Me Anything" Q&A session on Reddit yesterday.
In it he admitted that he enjoys visiting garbage dumps with his kids, that his portrayal in cult movie "Pirates of Silicone Valley?" about the early days of his relationship with Steve Jobs was fairly accurate, and that Weezer is one of his favourite bands.
It was a rare, candid moment for the co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation who has raised millions of dollars making improvements in global health and development of Third World countries.
Asked what he did for fun, Gates wrote: "I love playing tennis. I am an avid bridge player (a card game if you have not heard of it - it was more popular in the past!). I like to tour interesting things with my kids like power plants, garbage dumps, the Large Hadron Collider, Antarctica, missile Silos (Arizona),… I read a lot and watch courses (online or from the Learning Company)."

Good on you Bill. Champion of the Nordic countries for a model worth following. Not sure whether either side Libs/Dems will go for the high tax/broad social systems that seem to work so well though.

Daniel of Wollongong Posted at 3:16 PM February 13, 2013
"STAFF WRITERS" / Author(s) of this article, I strongly urge you to further educate yourselves on Bill Gates and his charity/foundation which he uses as a tax write off. The charity itself is only required to use 5% of its annual proceedings to remain a charity by law. Therefor, only 5% of the money he donates to his OWN tax-free charity is actually put towards any cause the foundation see's fit. Furthermore, the Bill Gates Foundation evidently does more harm than good, polluting certain regions of poverty stricken countries and placing more pressure on human resource sectors of that countries own services and aid. ALL OF NEWS PTY LTD... inform yourselves

Bill $ Gates likes the garbage dumps because he can see how much Micro$oft products have been thrown out because users are forced to upgrade to more newer Micro$oft garbage. Happy Days.

Gary Posted at 4:07 PM February 13, 2013
Richard K lolwut. Firstly it's how many, not how much. Secondly Microsoft is actually very slow in releasing new things (see Windows OS, SharePoint, SQL Server, Windows Server - all major business solutions - coming out on average every 3 years which is needed to stay ahead of the game). Thirdly, no one forces you to update, the major changes in regards to Windows 8 is progression of technology, both software and hardware. What's the point having the same inefficient software when you can create better ones (it is NOT possible to "update" existing software when such fundamental architectural changes are made) - which now expand into the tablet market. And again, who is forcing you to buy this? You lose nothing by maintaining the same versions for a few more years.

Alan Cameron of Queensland Posted at 5:06 PM February 13, 2013
So he helps the "third world country people"? I guess funding the development of a corn GMO designed to secretly reduce fertility of African women is a generous gesture. Any action in the third world has been to subject it to the big corporations, so the people can be paid peanuts and enrich the "super-rich" even more.
Comment 9 of 11
Bleh of Perth Posted at 5:13 PM February 13, 2013
@Daniel of Wollongong 5% of his money is probably a hell of a lot more than you. Stop looking at the glass half empty as opposed to a glass half full or even 5% full! He DONATES and the reason why it is required to "only"use 5% of it's money each year is because if you use 100% of your money in the first year guess what you have the next year. NOTHING. So he uses the money the foundation makes and spends it on improving peoples lives.......
Comment 10 of 11
Jarrad of Perth Posted at 5:18 PM February 13, 2013
Daniel of Woollongong- Have YOU looked into this very deeply? The foundation does has a substantial asset base, however in 2011 they paid out more to grants, $4.9M than they received in from contributions $3.4M. This is far from a tax rout, indeed the foundation does some very positive things throughout the developing world. My fave is the End Polio campaign with Rotary, look it up, in fact you should look up all of the grants they give. Perhaps us as Australians, we should look at our own mega rich, and what charity/social contribution they make, particularly those who are getting wealthy through mining- rather than technology development.

According to R&D: 3D printing
Posted on August 20, 2013
Golf club design has come a long way from the days of a master craftsman sitting at a work bench and hand benching a club head. Sure, there is still some hand work done here and there, but it is extremely rare for a modern club to be designed without the help of a Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) tool. While it is sexy to say that a part was hand crafted by a master craftsman, the truth of the matter is that club design has progressed light-years due to the use of CAD. There is one problem however with CAD tools in that they are strictly two dimensional. In other words, while you can create a 3D part in CAD, it can only be viewed in two dimensions on a computer screen, making it impossible to visualize how the complex, three dimensional curvatures and surfaces of a club head will look in real life. The quality of the complex curvatures and surfaces of a club head are extremely vital to the overall look and shape of a finished product. A good shape will inspire confidence and allows the golfer to achieve maximum performance from their club.
So how then do club designers ensure quality complex curvatures and surfaces in the head designs? Continue Reading
