Im in the market for a nice camera for backpacking.Im looking for minimal weight/ size, and quality of photos. I know how to work a camera pretty good and most likely will not be on the computer messing with photoshop or something like that.These are a few of the ones I am looking at, Canon s95, Canon sd1400 IS, Panasonic TS2.What are some pro/ cons of one over the other or if you have any other suggestions please let me know.Thanks.
If you are looking for technical reviews of the most modern digital cameras, I suggest you check DPReview.--B.G.--
What Bob said... check out dpreview. You listed three very different cameras. The Canon s95 is arguably the best pocketable camera with decent controls and a decent sensor (for a small sensor camera). I would skip the SD1400 image quality just isn't there. The TS2 is nice if you want a super durable camera. I own the TS1 and have used it when snorkeling and other water sports. I don't use it on dry land because the S95 is so much better.If you really care about image quality you could look at some of the larger sensor cameras like the Sigma DP1/2, Leica X1, or one of the mirrorless interchangable lens cameras such as the Panasonic GF1 (I am fairly happy with the GF1 with the 20/1.7 lens).--Mark
Thanks for the tips, if the image quality isn't all that great with the SD1400 then I will cross that one off the list.The cameras like the GF1 have a little to much going on for me as far as controls and what not. also larger and heavier than I wanted.Basically want something user friendly that takes some great pics. what other cameras are comparable with the S95 that I should be looking at?
There are many features that some people would feel are mandatory, and other people would feel are wasted. For example, I demand a camera with an optical viewfinder. Many of the newest cameras have only a rear display which uses a lot of battery power. That's why you want to check DPReview and compare the features that you really value and not just what somebody else likes.--B.G.--
yes definitly have a look at this websitethe S95 is a good compact ( i bought one not long ago as a gift for my sister when she doesnt want to bring her canon 450D )I myself use an LX3 ( the S95 now is better ) or an olympus EP2 either with 20mm 1.7 or the 14-42 depending on the trip ( i may go for the 14-150 )if you can go with a fixed lens nex could be an option ( the body is light but zoom are heavy if you want one) or maybe if only landscape a GF2 + 14mm ?
I'm also a big fan of dpreview as I contemplate camera gear almost as much as camping gear. Unfortunately though, I know even less about the technical aspect of cameras/photography, so I need someone in the know to give me a push in the right direction.You might consider looking at this review regarding compact travel zooms. The Casio EX-FH100 and the Samsung HZ35W from that review also seem worthy of consideration...This, of course, coming from the non-photographer, photographer wanna-be. I don't have any of the cameras in that review. Currently I play either with an older Canon Rebel XTi, or a Nikon P100 superzoom, but I would also like to pare down the size, as I find that I don't carry these bigger cameras as much as I might otherwise.

Criminy, another hour+ lost forever.That's why I should stay away from these threads. They just lead me to more and more reading, and more and more indecision.Since Mark and Eric both mentioned the S95...any thoughts in comparison to the Nikon S8100?Just walk away from the computer...
Check out photographers comments between the two.http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=954114I haven't used the Nikon S8100, but I was seriously looking at the S90 (previous version) before deciding I really wanted an interchangable lens system.EDIT: Short synopis-"Reasons to consider the Canon S95Much wider aperture f/2.0 vs f/3.5Much larger sensor 1/1.7" 7x5mm vs 1/2.5" 6x4mmShoots RAW Yes vs NoHas boost ISO 12,800 ISO vs NoneBetter wide-angle 28 mm vs 30 mmSmaller 99x58x29 mm vs 104x60x30 mmLighter 193 g vs 209 gLonger exposures 15s vs 4sReasons to consider the Nikon S8100Higher resolution movies 1080p @ 30fps vs 720p @ 24fpsSignificantly more zoom 10x vs 3.8xMuch higher resolution screen 921k dots vs 461k dotsHas a CMOS-family sensor CMOS vs CCDShoots significantly faster 10 fps vs 1.9 fpsSignificantly better macro capability 1 cm vs 5 cmMuch faster max shutter speed 1/4000s vs 1/1600sCheaper Around $285.00 vs $380.00 Range"
Edited by cobberman on 11/17/2010 13:41:26 MST.
Thanks for all the help and comments guys, it really is helping.I was looking at the dpreview site right now. Is there a section of the top rated ones? Its kind of hard to find the good cameras unless I browse all the brands/ models. I dont really know what ones are good and where to start looking.
Check the menu for buying guide. Then check for side-by-side comparisons or else feature search. Do that for the ones mentioned in this thread.--B.G.--
Thanks Eric for summarizing the differences between the S95 and the S8100. But this is information I had already seen at the the respective manufacturer websites and the side-by-side comparison on dpreview.I guess what I was looking for, and did not appropriately ask, was what do these differences mean in practical terms when using the two cameras?How much difference does the sensor (CMOS vs CCD and the size) make to the non-professional photographer? While I understand that a 28mm lens gives a wider angle of view than a 30mm one, how much of a difference is that? Is the difference in macro between 1cm and 5 cm really significant?In general, I would be looking for a small camera that has good image quality, mostly outdoors, in some low light situations. I am not a movie guy (yet), I do like the ability to zoom in on occasion (especially for wildlife), and I like to play with the exposure to some degree to learn what effects it makes on the picture. I have not played with RAW image processing, and have never really felt that I needed to.With those things in mind, is there a reason, beyond what the specs say as one might choose one over the other?Ps: Sorry Paul, I seem to be causing drift from your OP.
Edited by BER on 11/17/2010 23:23:09 MST.
Yes, DP review is a great site, though they are playing catch-up since having moved from London to Seattle. Another more narrative blog is The Online Photographer http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/blog_index.htmlA recent post asked readers to identify their favorite ( loved) small camera. There were a lot of responses and might be worth a look before you plunge in to a purchase. I have a LX3 and a GF1. They are great cameras and make good images, though no better than I can compose.here is a recent example from the GF1 in low Alaska light.
Edited by rmjapan on 06/18/2015 03:24:54 MDT.
I tried both the S95 and the LX5 for a weekend. Even in manual control, boith produced almost identical pictures. If you want a true 'pocket' camera, the S95 would be a better choice. However, the LX5 kicks it's rear in the HD video department. Both of these cameras, like any pocket camera, produce poor low light pictures. You can play with the ISO all you want but then the picture looks artificial.For the price of these two, especially the LX5, you can get into an entry level DSLR, which will take far superior pictures as the expense of size. The S95 and LX5 are kind of like the 'do it all camera' but are not small enough to be truly pocketable and do not have the sensor size or quality to produce truly amazing pictures.
The new micro systems/micro four thirds cameras that are smaller and lighter than DSLRs but have the same sized sensors are well worth considering. I have a Sony NEX 5 and the images have a better dynamic range (important for landscapes - it's the range of light a sensor can capture)and better high ISO quality than my Canon 450D DSLR. The NEX 5 with 18-55mm lens isn't pocket-size but it is noticeably smaller than a DSLR.
This is another useful website, though they tend to lean towards really high end medium format:The Luminous LandscapeI would second looking at the Sony Nex-3 and Nex-5. You can choose the lens and it's a APS-C size sensor for much higher image quality.
Edited by erdferkel on 11/18/2010 12:17:04 MST.
OP states "Im looking for minimal weight/ size, and quality of photos."While the NEX-5 is a sweet rig, when you go with a 18-55 it is no longer small or light. (or inexpensive...)
Back to the OP's desire for a lighter/smaller/quality photo camera, I would recommend the S90/S95. If you require some video goodness then the S95 is your choice, if price is an issue and you don't require HD video then the S90 is your choice. The f2.0 lens is great for low light conditions such as predawn and sunset. If you're not looking to reproduce the images at large sizes and only for sharing on the web and with family you can open up your favorite photo editor and crop "zoom" for your wildlife subjects. Even though I feel that the quality is better in a NEX, it's a different beast and the size and weight doesn't fit the bill here.

Nick Hornby Story in the New Yorker about World Cup 2002
I finally got around to reading Fever Pitch during the World Cup, finishing it up just last week. Thanks to my wife's copy of The Omnibus, I have continued on with High Fidelity and will later read About a Boy. The Omnibus is published by Indigo in Great Britain. We luckily found a copy at Pendragon Books in Oakland.
Fever Pitch is a very humorous telling of Hornby's life mostly in terms of Arsenal matches. Okay, sure, Cambridge United and a few other teams take the lead position for a few of the chapters, but the heart of the story is Hornby's passion for Arsenal. Highly recommended.
Update: Since writing this, I've blogged a review of the movie version of Fever Pitch as released on DVD.

I saw a small story recently in the China-based Beijing Review that translated an article from the official Communist Party People's Daily about a college admission reform that had been abandoned by one of China's leading universities, Renmin University in Beijing. The article suggests a very interesting story about the relationship between the extent of corruption in a government and the degree of bureaucratic rigidity required in managing the public sector. It is a story with relevance to the United States as well.
University admissions in China are based strictly on test scores in a college entrance examination run by each province . It is a very cut-and-dried, rigid system. No points are deducted for being a boring grind who does nothing but study for exams, no consideration of having been under the weather the day of the exam, no points added for creativity, community service, or for acting, musical or athletic ability.
Ten years ago, at a small number of elite universities, a program was introduced allowing the schools to admit a select group of students on the basis of criteria other than the national entrance exam score. The idea was that this flexibility would allow the universities to admit outstanding students whose qualities did not fully come forth on the entrance exam.
That system was suspended last November following the arrest of Renmin's head of admissions for taking bribes from parents to secure admission to their children under the flexible admissions program.
When I read the article, I immediately thought about college admissions systems at American universities, which frequently use a number of criteria – grades, SAT scores, extracurricular activities, leadership, community service and so forth – in making admissions decisions. These systems have existed for a hundred years, and they continue to exist. They can continue to exist in the United States because it is virtually unheard of to bribe an admissions director to get a kid admitted.
Notice the correlation. When there is a high level of corruption in an institution or a society, pressures arise not to allow discretion in making decisions, because such discretion provides opportunity for the decision-maker to be bribed. But that creates an inflexible, bureaucratic system that does not allow for the richness and nuance of judgment in making decisions.
It would have been nice for Renmin University not to be shackled to using only test scores to admit students, because that would mean they would be making offers to students it would be good for them to have. But in a corrupt environment, Renmin may have no choice.
One of the (many) prices organizations -- and governments -- pay for corruption is that it shackles them to rigid decision-making systems that often fail to produce the most-appropriate decisions or solutions. The flip side is that if your organization or government is lucky enough to have a low level of corruption, you have more room to develop more flexible decision-making systems -- and to allow for better decisions.
Let's apply this to the United States. The recent high-profile cases of procurement corruption notwithstanding, the federal procurement system -- and decision-making in U.S. executive-branch agencies more generally -- is remarkably uncorrupt. We are very lucky. (When I tell Mexicans that no American police officer has ever requested a bribe from me in my life, they stare with incredulity.) Yet the degree of rigidity in our procurement, human resources, and other government management systems is too high for our low level of corruption.
To be sure, sometimes the argument for rigidity is not to avoid corruption but to avoid "arbitrary" decisions. This has a lot of merit for issues of rights and obligations, but is less relevant to discretionary government decisions such as those involving awarding a procurement contract. As a general matter, I think we want transparency, and an explanation for why decisions came out as they did. Neither of those needs, however, are inconsistent with more flexibility.
We are not Nigeria or Venezuela or China. We don't need to be so rigid, and that is a good thing. But sometimes we seem to be too afraid to take advantage of our advantage. Imagine if Harvard or Columbia adopted an exam-score-only admissions system because Renmin University in China has had a corruption problem! More flexibility in U.S. public management is in order.

It boils down to benefits vs. risk. If we (govt employees) had more discretion, we could save the country billions and do a better job (and hire better people). Yes, there would be some bad apples but they exist regardless of the bureaucratic rules. As suggested by the author, in this country most of the citizens are actually pretty honest. For those that aren't, we usually penalize them (there is a priveledged class but fewer than most countries). To anyone curious, I would suggest reading "The Death of Common Sense". A very good non-partisan analysis from someone with actual experience.
Great post...very thought proking...It would be interesting to go through the FAR and see how many of our rules are targeted at some 3rd standard deviation behavior.
I would say this is a very appropriate observation. The US may or may not have corruption with college admissions but the price of corruption in other areas is tremendous. Look at the cost required to maintain organization designed to regulate everything from environmental problems to taxes. Everytime congress passes a law to regulate something costs are incurred. More people are needed to ensure regulations are followed, to ensure only authorized people receive food stamps, to ensure everyone pays the taxes owed, etc. And then congress wants to reduce budgets that were increased because organization are required to hire additional people to enforce regulations that result from new laws. If congress wants to reduce a bloated federal government workforce and budget they need to elimiate some of the oversite requirements. That will never happen.

A Dream Deferred! Sky keeps it coming you gotta admire dudes drive. He's going to make it in either way. Props!
I been bumping sky since day one..I love the message and the beat not the bs that's on the radio
This is the type of production Skyzoo sounds the best over, good to see Sky pay hommage to Brooklyn's heros.
Straight dope. Love all the haters here.
Skyzoo is a bore with no business in SHOW BIZ... good intentions and Sean Carter worship only take you so far... Sky is deadly on the mic alright-- DEADLY FUCKING DULL and Talib has been insufferable for at least a decade. Why listen to this shit when there are shelves of great books and other, infinitely better black records to listen to: Marvin, Stevie, Curtis Mayfield, Bill Withers, Gil Scott-Heron... Skyzoo is garbage.
Lyrically, no, skyzoo is not garbage, but I agree with the poster, what the hell I'm I listening to? This is not rap. How many of y'all would go out and buy this and what do you do with it? He is signed to Duck Down. You want some of that real, go listen to Cocoa Brovaz, Smif N Wessun, Da beatminerz etc. This is too out there. New York has been cast aside by southern rap. Cats like him need to help bring it back by going back to the basics. Some real NY beats type production. the above cats I mentioned might be old now but I'm sure they and the rest of their producers can still bang on the mpc. Lets bring it back and if you want some jazzy flow, then have Pete Rock produce for you.
your comment is Definitely Fucking Irrelevant. i do agree that your list is great artist. Buddy thats a different genre of music.

The optimal surgical management of dislocated three- and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus in elderly patients remains unclear. Most used techniques are hemiarthroplasty and angle-stable locking compression plate osteosynthesis. In the current literature there is no evidence available presenting superior results between hemiarthroplasty and angle-stable locking compression plate osteosynthesis in terms of speed of recovery, pain, patient satisfaction, functional outcome, quality of life or complications.
A randomized controlled multicenter trial will be conducted. Patients older than 60 years of age with a dislocated three- or four-part fracture of the proximal humerus as diagnosed by X-rays and CT-scans will be included. Exclusion criteria are a fracture older than 14 days, multiple comorbidity, multitrauma, a pathological fracture, previous surgery on the injured shoulder, severely deranged function caused by a previous disease, "head-split" proximal humerus fracture and unwillingness or inability to follow instructions. Participants will be randomized between surgical treatment with hemiarthroplasty and angle-stable locking compression plate osteosynthesis. Measurements will take place preoperatively and 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months and 24 months postoperatively. Primary outcome measure is speed of recovery of functional capacity of the affected upper limb using the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand score (DASH). Secondary outcome measures are pain, patient satisfaction, shoulder function, quality of life, radiological evaluation and complications. Data will be analyzed on an intention-to-treat basis, using univariate and multivariate analyses.
Both hemiarthroplasty and angle-stable locking compression plate osteosynthesis are used in the current treatment of dislocated three-and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus. There is a lack of level-1 studies comparing these two most-used surgical treatment options. This randomized controlled multicenter trial has been designed to determine which surgical treatment option provides the fastest recovery of functional capacity of the affected upper limb, and will provide better outcomes in pain, satisfaction, shoulder function, quality of life, radiological evaluation and complications.
Trial registration number
The trial is registered in the Netherlands Trial Registry (NTR2461)
Proximal humeral fractures account for approximately 5% of all fractures [1]. More than 70% of patients with these fractures are older than 60 years of age, 75% are women, and the fractures are often related to osteoporosis [2,3]. For this elderly population the goal of treatment of proximal humeral fractures is to maintain independence of daily living by achieving a painless shoulder with an adequate function.
The majority of proximal humeral fractures are non- or minimally displaced, and are well treated nonoperatively [4,5]. In displaced three-and four-part proximal humeral fractures surgical treatment is recommended [5,6]. However, the optimal surgical management remains controversial. A wide variety of treatment modalities, varying from minimal percutaneous osteosynthesis to prosthetic replacement of the humeral head, has been described. Besides a certain consensus regarding prosthetic treatment of "head-split" fractures [6,7], the surgical treatment of choice is based on preference toward and experience with one of the treatment options. Most comminuted proximal humeral fractures are currently being treated with placement of a hemi-shoulder prosthesis, or in case of treatment of the humeral head with an angle-stable locking compression plate.
Specially designed prostheses have been developed for treatment of dislocated three-and four-part proximal humeral fractures. Important is the refixation and healing of the tuberosities [8-10]. Several studies report good outcomes regarding function, level of patient satisfaction, pain and complication rate [10-13]. Factors associated with poor outcomes are: secondary prosthetic replacement after initial osteosynthesis, malunion, osteolysis of the tuberosities, and excessive retroversion of the prosthetic head or over-lengthening due to prosthetic placement [14-18].
In recent years the use of angle stable locking compression plates has been popularized. Biomechanical data suggest that these implants can resist physiological loads in osteoporotic bone and may provide an alternative to hemiarthroplasty [19-21]. Other theoretical advantages compared to conventional plating are a reduction in screw loosening, less dissection of soft tissue, less compromising of periosteal vascularization through minimal plate pressure, and an increased primary stability which enables early functional mobilization. The clinical utility of angle-stable locking compression plates for three- and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus remains unclear [22-24]. Substantial rates of complications have been reported. Factors associated with poor outcomes are: the degree of varus malreduction, length of the initial metaphyseal hinge attached to the articular fragment and its correlation with osteonecrosis of the humeral head and screw protrusion through the humeral head.
A recent review could not draw firm conclusions with regard to which interventions are the most appropriate to manage different types of proximal humeral fractures [25]. Moreover, there are no level-1 randomized studies that compare surgical treatment of displaced three- and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus using hemiarthroplasty with surgical treatment using an angle-stable locking compression plate. It is therefore unclear which treatment leads to a better functional result: surgical treatment performing hemiarthroplasty or humeral head treatment with an angle-stable locking compression plate.
We designed a multicenter randomized controlled trial to compare hemiarthroplasty with an angle-stable locking compression plate for the treatment of dislocated three- and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus in an older population. This paper reports the study design of the HOMERUS (Hemiarthroplasty vs. Osteosynthesis in HuMEral FRactUreS) study.
Study design
The HOMERUS study is designed as a level-1 multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial. Four centers in the Netherlands will participate. Eligible patients attending the Emergency Room (ER) with a comminuted proximal humeral fracture will receive information about the trial at the ER. After written consent has been confirmed, eligible patients will be randomly allocated to the two different types of surgical treatment. To keep the allocation of patients in different clinics even, block randomization will be used. For every participating hospital an exclusive sequence will be used and every block will contain ten patients. Randomization will be accomplished via opaque, sealed envelopes. Follow-up will take place over a period of two years. The inclusion period is planned from January 2011 to December 2012. The study design, procedures, protocols and informed consent are approved by the Medical Ethical Committees of the participating hospitals. The trial is registered in the Netherlands Trial Registry (NTR2461), and is designed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki [26] and the Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act. It will follow the CONSORT (Consolidation of Standards of Reporting Trials) guidelines [27,28].
Study population
All patients attending the ER with a three- or four-fragment fracture of the proximal humerus with dislocation on X-ray and who are older than 60 years of age will undergo further CT-scan examination. If the CT-scan shows more than 5 mm dislocation in one of the fracture planes [29], the patient is eligible for inclusion [table 1]. Patients with a fracture more than 14 days old, multiple comorbidity, multitrauma (Injury Severity Score > 15), pathological fracture, previous surgery on the injured shoulder, severely deranged function caused by a previous disease, head-split proximal humerus fracture [6,7], or unwillingness or inability to follow rehabilitation instructions are excluded.
Table 1. Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients will be randomized to either hemiarthroplasty or angle-stable locking compression plate osteosynthesis.
Hemiarthroplasty [Figure 1] will be performed using the fracture shoulder prosthesis as provided at the participating hospital. A standardized deltopectoral approach with the patient in beach-chair position is used. After identification of the greater and lesser tuberosities, strong non-absorbable sutures are placed through the bone-tendon junctions. The head fragment is taken out and preserved for prosthetic head measurement. The humeral shaft is prepared for the specific implant. Humeral length is restored and the prosthesis is cemented in approximately 20-30 degrees retroversion. Tuberosity positioning is performed with the use of nonabsorbable sutures to attach the fragments to the prosthesis, the shaft, and to each other in an anatomic position.
Figure 1. Example of proximal humerus fracture, managed by hemiarthroplasty.
Angle-stable locking plate osteosynthesis [Figure 2] is performed with the patient in supine or beach-chair position on a radiolucent table and a deltopectoral approach is used. The fracture is reduced and provisionally stabilized with (threaded) Kirschner wires. The reduction is confirmed as adequate with use of image intensification. The angle-stable locking compression plate is positioned with the help of a mounted aiming device, at least 5-8 mm distally of the upper end of the greater tuberosity and 2 mm posteriorly to the bicipital groove. Care is taken to ensure that a sufficient gap is maintained between the plate and the tendon of the long head of the biceps. When fracture reduction and subsequent screw positioning is considered adequate, the plate is fixed definitively with the insertion of angular stable screws in the humeral head. The use of angular stable or standard cortical screws for the humeral shaft holes is left to the treating surgeon. A final image intensifier check to verify correct screw placement is performed.
Figure 2. Example of proximal humerus fracture, managed by angle-stable locking compression plate osteosynthesis.
The surgical procedures will be performed by a maximum of three qualified and experienced surgeons at each participating hospital. Surgery will take place within 2 weeks after the date of trauma. In both groups the specific type of implant will be determined by the attending surgeon at hospital the patient has been admitted to. In both groups a standard deltopectoral approach will be used. Antibiotic prophylaxis with first-generation cephalosporin will be given intravenously, preoperatively and for 24 hours postoperatively. Postoperatively patients will receive thromboprophylaxis during hospital stay (e.g. Low Molecular Weight heparin (LMWH) or equivalent). In terms of rehabilitation, all patients will be treated with a standardized protocol at each hospital. After surgery, the patient receives a sling for six weeks combined with mobilization instructions. Two weeks postoperatively, active range of motion will be increased to the horizontal level; after another two weeks active external rotation will be initiated. Rehabilitation will be supervised by a physiotherapist.
Outcome assessment will take place in both groups at randomization (T0), 3 months postoperatively (T1), and 6, 9, 12 and 24 months (T2, T3, T4, T5) postoperatively. Outcome assessment for T0, T1, T4 and T5 will take place in an outpatient clinic setting and involves all outcome measures. At six and nine months postoperatively (T2 and T3) patients will only fill in a questionnaire that will be sent and returned by mail [Figure 3]. Speed of recovery of functional capacity of the affected upper limb is our primary outcome measure. Secondary outcome measures are pain, patient satisfaction, shoulder function, quality of life, radiological evaluation and complications.
Figure 3. Flowchart HOMERUS study.
Functional capacity of the affected upper limb
The DASH score will be used to determine functional capacity [30,31]. This questionnaire consists of 30 questions about symptoms and function of the upper limbs that are affected by disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It provides a single main score, the DASH function/symptom score, which is a summation of the responses on a scale of 0 (no disability) to 100 (severe disability). The degree of difficulty in performing a variety of daily physical activities because of arm, shoulder or hand problems is determined (21 items), as well as the severity of pain, activity-related pain, tingling, weakness and stiffness (5 items), and the effect of the upper-limb problems on social activities, work, sleep and self-image (4 items).
The amount of experienced pain is measured on a 10-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), from no pain (0) to most extreme pain imaginable (10).
Patient satisfaction
The amount of experienced satisfaction with the result of surgical treatment is measured on a 10-point Visual Analogue Scale, from no satisfaction at all (0) to complete satisfaction (10).
Shoulder function
Functional outcome is measured with the Constant-Murley score. This score system combines shoulder function tests (65 points) with a subjective evaluation of the patients (35 points) [32].
Quality of life
Health-related quality of life is measured with the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) score. This is a validated multi-purpose, short-form health survey with 36 questions, representing eight health domains [33,34].
Radiological evaluation
Standard X-rays (40° posterior oblique view with external rotation of the humerus, 40° posterior oblique view with internal rotation of the humerus, and an axillary view) and computer tomography will be taken preoperatively and used for classification of fracture type and surgery-planning purposes. Postoperative imaging will consist solely of standard X-rays. Points of particular interest in hemiarthroplasty are signs of loosening; periarticular calcification; displacement, dislocation or necrosis of the tuberosities; glenohumeral subluxation; periprosthetic lucency; component shift; loss of glenoid cartilage; and presence of bony erosion on the glenoid. In angle-stable locking compression plate osteosynthesis axial and rotational deformities of the head fragment and/or greater tuberosity fragment after surgery will be assessed radiographically according to Bahrs et al. [35]. Secondary displacement of the fracture, screw perforation, humeral head necrosis classified according to Cruess [36], plate impingement and delayed fracture healing/pseudoarthrosis will also be recorded.
All complications will be recorded during the study period.
Sample size
Different studies on clinical outcomes following hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of three- and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus state that the DASH score is about 40 [37,38]. Sample size calculation was performed; primary outcome measure was the DASH score, whereby 10 points after 24 months was considered a clinically relevant difference between the two groups, with a standard deviation of 19.4, alpha set on 5% and power on 80%. This resulted in a required number of 61 patients in each group. Assuming a dropout rate of 10%, two groups of 67 patients will have to be included.
Statistical analysis
To estimate the effect of the interventions, analyses will be performed using the Statistical Package for the Social sciences (SPSS) 19.0. The baseline characteristics from both study groups will be compared for equality by means of an independent samples T-test for continuous variables and a chi-square test for dichotomous variables. Random effect models will be applied for longitudinal analyses. A p-value lower than 0.05 will be considered as statistically significant. Data will be analyzed according to the intention-to-treat principle and the research data will be reported following the CONsolidated Standards of Reporting Trial (CONSORT).
Both hemiarthroplasty and angle-stable locking compression plate osteosynthesis for dislocated three-and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus in the elderly are performed in current practice. The optimal surgical management remains controversial and a clear distinction between indications for one of both treatment options cannot be made on the basis of the current evidence in the literature. To date, there are no randomized controlled studies that compare the outcome of hemiarthroplasty vs. angle-stable locking compression plate osteosynthesis in the treatment of dislocated three- and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus. The HOMERUS study is designed to determine which treatment results in better outcome, defined as speed of recovery of functional outcome. Further, it is possible to identify which treatment will provide better outcomes in pain, satisfaction, shoulder function, quality of life, radiological evaluation and complications.

SEED MA-280 Mini-ITX Case
Trends are everything to manufacturers and just how well they break into the market. Consider me "old school" but I still use a huge chassis for my daily use PC. But now the question comes up as laptops are slowly taking over for daily use. What role does a PC play in a home once games and benchmarks are taken out of the equation? The market says HTPC's, nettops, laptops, and any other SFF chassis is the way to go these days. Seems hiding the PC is as important these days as what the PC is capable of.
The company supplying the product today is SEED. SEED is an acronym for Saving Energy Efficiency Directly. With that in mind one would only assume they are trying to keep in mind the power usage of a net browser or HTPC that can stream from another PC such as a laptop. Taking the overuse of daily fuels is of major concern to SEED, and we are about to see what such a plan of attack brings consumers in chassis design.
This isn't the only chassis in SEED's m-ITX line up. Browsing their site leads me to believe this is just one of the three available. Today we take a look at the M-A280. This is the all black version with special plating on the exterior and accent trim on the face. I'm already giving away too much, let's get down to the task and get a good look at what SEED has to offer.

Other than 'long long' in some of the texture compression code, I'm
not aware of any C99 features being used in the Mesa core.
I know some people use Mesa on legacy platforms and they might not
have C99 compilers available to them.

Thunder: Recent skid is no fun for anyone, but Thunder Nation should relax
Perkins continued.
"But we ought to just keep being motivated," he said, "and don't get bored with the process."
Even in three out of four of the recent defeats, the Thunder can point to positives, such as the team's defensive performance that bordered on dominant despite the losses.
In two of those losses (Memphis and Miami), the Thunder held opponents below 40 percent shooting. Indiana, meanwhile, shot just 41.2 percent.
"Our defense was on point," Perkins said. "I felt like we struggled offensively, which happens…I felt like in each one of them games, we had a chance to win it. We should have won a few of them."
Perkins was asked if he still felt good about his team, if the Thunder still was in a good place.
"I mean, why wouldn't I be feeling good?" Perkins asked, flipping the question back onto a reporter. "We're still No. 1 in the West. We're still one of the top two teams in the league. I feel like we worked hard to get where we at. If we have these losses early in the season or in the middle of the season, we probably wouldn't say nothing about it. But just the timing of it right now is just what it is."
Lost in the last few losses is the eight-game opportunity the Thunder still has to go into the postseason with a head of steam. This rough stretch will become a distant memory if OKC closes the season with six or seven solid wins in the final eight.
"There's still time," Brooks said. "I know we had a tough stretch. But it was very good teams we were playing. And I think it made us better. I think when you play against good teams and you have close games, sure, you'd love to win them all. But that's unrealistic. You have to give yourself a chance to win them all and I think we've done a pretty good job with that."
That's all Brooks can ask for.
If he gets it, everyone can live with the sting of a bad stretch — because there is reason to believe the pain will only be short-term.
"That's part of it. It's a tough league," Brooks said. "It's a tough schedule for everybody, not just us. We're focused on improving day-to-day, game-to-game and not worried about what our record was the last six games."

We have been very busy the past couple weeks. MaryAnn has trimmed the apple trees and cut grass three times already.
We have planted cabbage, red potato's, red onions, yellow onions, and Iceberg lettuce. Among the three cabbage varieties we planted is Uncle Charlie's favorite, stone head. We are trying a new one called Rocket. We picked up the starts from an mennonite farm near Hillsboro. They highly favored it over stone head so we will see.
We will wait a week and then plant beets and carrots. Soon after will be green beans, tomatoes, and sweet corn.
I was able to lay down the spray for the cut worms etc. and spray the apple trees.
MaryAnn and I had a great time visiting the mennonite farm and was surprised the family has already planted sweet corn. We learned a few secrets that we may try in the future.
We are both tired today but looking forward to an Easter visit from Uncle Charlie and Chris this week.
Tyler finished his airborne training but injured an ankle. He will be getting orders soon to a new destination. He can not go through Ranger training until his ankle is completely healed. He might get some home time before his next assignment.

KAI was also pretty lifeless imo, the voice acting felt overexplanitory at times, forced, phoned in, always as if the characters were reading from a script trying pronounce every single word correctly.
