|Percutaneous mitral and aortic paravalvular leak repair: indications, current application, and future directions.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23338724 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) is a symptomatic or asymptomatic complication after surgical valve replacement. It may be related to calcification, infection or tissue friability and occurs in 5 % to 17 % of surgical implanted heart valves. Reoperation is associated with a higher morbidity and mortality than the index procedure. Percutaneous closure of PVR can be an effective and lower risk alternative to reoperation. However, feasibility for percutaneous closure has to be assessed by defining the shape, size and location of the defect. Echocardiography with three-dimensional defect reconstruction is a cornerstone for guiding percutaneous PVR closure. Access for aortic PVR is usually retrograde via the femoral artery and access to mitral PVR either retrograde from the aorta, transvenous-transseptal or transapical. Meticulous planning and prudent procedural execution by experienced operators ensuring no impingement of the prosthetic leaflets leads to a high success rate of percutaneous PVR repair.

By Steve Tarter, (Peoria) Journal Star
PEORIA, Ill. — They might be considered the Three Amigos by the area's hungry population.
But Bill Saathoff, 86, Art Jenkins, 86, and Bob Hellrigel, 82, are just three of the 50 volunteers who help Heart of Illinois Harvest transport food from stores and restaurants to food pantries in the area.
All three men have been volunteering one or two mornings a week for more than 20 years to the food rescue program that started in 1992 in Peoria. The all-volunteer effort transports seven tons of food a week, said program coordinator Tina Johnson.
"Our truck goes out six mornings a week, and we have a van that goes out four mornings a week for pickups. Some volunteers use their own vehicles.
"We don't warehouse anything," said Johnson, noting that volunteers pick up bread, rolls and packaged items donated by stores and take them directly to food kitchens operating in churches, schools and organizations throughout the Peoria area.
Saathoff, Jenkins and Hellrigel visited Hy-Vee, Schnucks, Apple's Bakery, Einstein Brothers Bagels, Panera and LaGondola for pickups Wednesday before making deliveries to places such as Friendship House, Hurlbut House and St. Joseph Catholic Church.
Wearing bright blue HOI Harvest shirts, the three volunteers have become familiar figures at area stores and food pantries.
"They know us," said Hellrigel, a retired letter carrier who's no stranger to making deliveries, having done it for 31 years for the U.S. Postal Service.
The food that gets redistributed across the region fills a growing need, said Christy Cook, who chairs the HOI Harvest board.
"Our needs are growing like you wouldn't believe. We don't receive state money or United Way funding, so we're always looking for donations and grants," she said.
Cook said the community has provided great support for the group, citing Rocket Tire Service, 300 Edmund St., as an example. The tire firm has serviced the group's vehicles without charge for more than 20 years, she said.
Along with continually seeking money to handle expenses, HOI Harvest also needs additional food donors, Cook said. "We get calls from groups and individuals looking for food all the time."
HOI Harvest also tries to help out with special events, said Cook.
"We dropped off 3,500 pounds of food for the Mission for Mercy that's scheduled to provide dental help for 2,000 people this weekend," she said.
Additional volunteers to make the rounds also are needed, said Cook, who serves as a residential mortgage lender for Heritage Bank in Peoria.
"It would be nice if we had some additional people to give some of our dedicated people a day off," she said.
While volunteers such as Saathoff, Jenkins and Hellrigel don't take many days off, there's an awareness that it wouldn't hurt to have some backup.
"We're going to wear out one of these days," Saathoff said.

Also known as: Travel Arranager, Holiday Planner, Travel Counselor, Travel Consultant.
Planning a trip is a time-consuming and complicated process. Travel agents simplify this process for their customers in addition to providing consultation services and entire travel packages. They may book flights, cruises, rental cars and hotels, as well as resort stays and events. Agents cater to a wide demographic, serving both individuals and corporations. They may also concentrate in a special segment of the field; many agents specialize in leisure travel, business trips, or location-specific journeys to Europe, Africa, or Asia.
Would you make a good travel agent? Sokanu's free assessment reveals how compatible you are with a career across 5 dimensions!Take the free career test
The primary responsibility of a travel agent is to make the process of travel planning easier for their clients and ensure they experience the best trip possible. Travel agents work directly with the public and converse with clients in order to determine the best possible travel destinations, transportation arrangements, and accommodations for the client's particular needs. They may make suggestions to the client based on their experience, or offer complete travel packages from various resorts or cruise lines. They are often restricted to a budget, and must be highly organized in order to offer their clients travel arrangements that suit both their financial limitations and leisure or business travel expectations.
Agents work with computers or call airlines, cruise lines, resorts, and rental companies in order to secure travel arrangements for their customers. They research information on their client's travel plans and relay important information including weather conditions, travel advisories and required documents for their destination. Safety is also a factor in international travel, so travel agents keep abreast of the latest news, ensuring that each planned destination is safe for their customers.
Travel agents work year-round, but are especially busy during peak vacation times in the summer and during holidays. During those times, agents are busy on the telephone planning trips and making last-minute itinerary changes for current customers. They also sell vacation packages from cruise lines, resorts and other destinations. During the off season, travel agents are busy researching destinations and learning about the latest offerings of prime travel resorts and locations. They will also uncover new destinations and find the best trips for a particular travel purpose, whether it be business-related or for personal leisure.
Travel agents work indoors in an office or cubicle, year-round. They spend long hours on the telephone or in front of computer terminals, making travel arrangements and researching travel destinations for their clients. Agents employed by large travel agencies typically adhere to a regular 40-hour work week, though some opportunity for overtime may occur during peak travel seasons. Independent contractors have a more sporadic schedule, working less during the off season and more nights and weekends during holidays and over the summer to meet the demands of vacationing clientele.
In order to perform the required research for their jobs, travel agents keep up with travel magazines, books, journals, and online travel publications. In some instances, agents will travel domestically or abroad to obtain first-hand experience of select destinations, and then relay that information to their clients.
Human travel agents do not have to be world travelers to perform their job well, but they must love travel.
In recent months, some industry research reports found that more consumers are now inclined to use a good travel agent, reversing a downward trend.
Pick a date! Any date! Request your holidays with your employer then go visit your travel agent...
I woke with a start and sweat on my brow. At three o'clock in the morning I realised that a flight booking I had made for one of my clients may have self destructed eight hours previously.
The agent does the legwork for his client, from making all the necessary airline, car rental, and hotel reservations to finding out about visa requirements or scouting weather forecasts.
9:00 am: Arrive in office dreaming of holidays. The posters on the walls and holiday branding all over the office don't help – I need a holiday!!!!!
Travel agents assess individual's and business people's needs to help them make the best possible travel arrangements.

An 81 year male reports to the fire station to have his blood pressure checked.
He tells the paramedics he had just finished a round of golf and was sitting in the clubhouse when he felt, "cold and shaky."
He relocated to his car with the windows rolled up and the A/C turned off. The ambient temperature was very warm but he still felt cold.
That's when he decided to drive to the fire station.
At the time of evaluation his BP was 120/70 and his pulse was 76 and regular, which was consistent with the other vital signs recorded on his BP card over the past 2 weeks.
When he left the fire station he did not appear acutely ill.
Two hours later an ambulance was dispatched for a male patient with shortness of breath.
The paramedics recognized the man standing on the side of the road wearing a jogging suit as the same man who was at the fire station earlier for a BP check.
He states that he called his doctor who was out of town, and the on-call physician advised him to call 9-1-1.
The man was helped into the back of the ambulance and undressed from the waist-up. A surgical scar is noted down the center of his chest.
Past medical history: MI and CABG x3 in 1985
Meds: Unknown
His vital signs were assessed.
Resp: 18
Pulse: 80
SpO2: 96 on RA
He states that "nothing has really changed" since he was at the fire station.
When asked about shortness of breath, he denies it.
The cardiac monitor is attached.
When specifically asked about chest discomfort he states, "Well, I do a little bit of chest pressure, but it's nothing like when I had my heart attack."
A 12-lead ECG is captured.

The organizers made sure the injured soldiers were well-equipped to practice and compete. SAME Fort Drum Post and VFW Post 1231 received loaned and donated sports equipment from many organizations who support initiatives dedicated to the disabled and mobility-challenged individuals interested in learning sled hockey. USA Hockey and Mobility Sports loaned eighteen sleds for the soldiers. Seven other sleds were donated by VFW, Fanning Technologies, Alzo Family, Carri-Mor, MAC Sports LTD., Knights of Columbus and SAME. The VFW Post 1231 and SAME Ft. Drum Post provided the team uniforms in desert and green camouflage. The uniforms proudly displayed the wounded warrior logo.
On the first day of the event, the ceremonial puck drop was performed by Tom Coakley. Coakley is a disabled Vietnam veteran who lost his leg in service. After the puck drop, a competitive game ensued between the 10th Mountain Division soldiers and the Syracuse CNY Flyers Sled Hockey Team. The game concluded with a celebratory post-game meal for all the soldiers and volunteers.
On the second day, the program continued with a clinic and game at the State University of New York (SUNY) Canton Ice Arena in Canton. Paul Schaus and John Uplinger, members of the USA National Development Team from Buffalo, N.Y. led the clinic drills. After the clinic, a ceremonious game opening was held. The teams lined up for introductions, following color guards from VFW Post 1231, Canton and from the Golden Knights ROTC program at Clarkson University. The ceremonial drop of the puck, again performed by Tom Coakley, preceded the spirited game between the two teams. Over 500 spectators packed the stands and cheered the men and women of Fort Drum Warriors in Transition Unit (WTU). The wounded soldiers maneuvered the sleds and handled the puck skillfully.
The Wounded Warrior Sled Hockey Clinic and Game also featured a raffle program and a silent auction. The auction consisted of items donated by National Hockey League (NHL) players, local businesses and local college and university teams. The silent auction and 50-50 raffle program raised an additional $4,000. These funds will be used to allow purchase of ice time for wounded soldiers to play sled hocky and to support travel expenses to games and events throughout the Northeast region.
Mark McKenna, Project Engineer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District and SAME Post Secretary was the principal organizer for the event. According to McKenna, the event would not have been possible without the "overwhelming support and generous donations from the entire community." In addition, the Post received a donation pledge of almost $16,500 to help the WTU wounded soldiers purchase more equipment. "We now have enough funds to purchase 30 sleds that can be used by soldiers to continue activities in this newfound passion." Other donors included St. Lawrence University, Clarkson University, SUNY Canton, SUNY Potsdam, Syracuse University and Tony's Canvas & Leather.

'Dolomite no excuse for lack of housing'Comment on this story
Parliament, Cape Town - The presence of dolomite is no reason for the state to refuse to build houses for country's poor, Parliament's human settlements portfolio committee said on Thursday.
The committee met the Council for Geoscience on Wednesday, when the presence of dolomite - which is believed to cause cave-ins or sinkholes - was discussed.
"The council explained that, contrary to what municipalities have been saying to the committee, houses could be built on dolomitic grounds," the committee said in a statement.
The committee said it had sought expert advice after encountering conflicting reports about the presence of dolomite in the North West, which resulted in homes not being built on land identified for this purpose.
"During our oversight visits, we came across areas that were exposed to sinkholes because they were built on dolomitic land," committee chairwoman Nomhle Dambuza said.
"... We understand that building on this type of a land is risky, but it should not be used to disadvantage our people."
Dambuza said ways should be found to prevent sinkholes.
"The council's (engineering geologist) Frederik Stapelberg said dolomite needed to be first assessed by a competent engineer, who would be able to determine what type of development would be suitable for such an area, based on the magnitude of possible sinkholes."
In areas where there was a possibility of bigger sinkholes forming, a higher class development could be considered, while in areas where smaller sinkholes could occur, a dense development could be considered.
The council had warned that the tests associated with such an assessment could be costly.
Dambuza said there were examples of developments being built on dolomitic land, including in Centurion. - Sapa

When young Ursula Brown reaches the estate of the Vaughns (who are also recognizable as the Three Bears) to be a governess for their son, Teddy, her story becomes less a simple fairy-tale retelling and more of a mash-up of classic literary tropes.
Emily Jenkins will bring out the foodie in any reader as she traces the preparation of blackberry fool through four centuries in A Fine Dessert. Starting in 1710 in Lyme, England, a mother and daughter pick wild blackberries from the field surrounding their cottage. Then begins the labor-intensive process that includes milking the cow, skimming the cream, beating the cream with twigs, straining the berries through muslin to get rid of seeds and chilling the delightful blend of berries and cream in an ice pit in the hillside.
At the end of a birthday party, the best gift a little girl receives is her black-and-white tuxedo cat. In Tiptop Cat, author and illustrator C. Roger Mader portrays this cat's independent and slightly mischievous new life. Seen from Tiptop's perspective, the rich pastel illustrations depict the cat at eye-level as he explores under tables and beds, defies dizzying heights along the balcony railing and climbs neighborhood rooftops to his favorite spot: a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower from the top of the world.
In this standalone companion to the Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Award-winning Elijah of Buxton, author Christopher Paul Curtis returns to the Canadian town founded in the 1860s by former African-American slaves. Although few of the original settlers still live in Buxton in 1901, one of their descendants, Benji Alston, stands out. An aspiring newspaper reporter, Benji understands the power of the written word and enters an apprenticeship with Miss Cary, the daughter of real-life Mary Ann Camberton Shadd, an abolitionist and journalist in neighboring Chatham. Also residing in Chatham is Alvin "Red" Stockard, who is often mistreated by his bitter and racist grandmother, who suffered during the Irish immigration to Canada during "The Great Hunger."
Milo was ready to enjoy a quiet Christmas vacation at his parents' hotel, Greenglass House, in the fictional harbor town of Nagspeake. Usually inhabited by local smugglers, the hotel receives not one but five unexpected visitors on the same snowy night. After Milo finds a map (with possible ties to Greenglass House) that was dropped by one of the hotel guests, it's clear that they're all looking for something—but not necessarily the same thing.
Mac Barnett, author of the Caldecott Honor-winning picture book Extra Yarn, turns a popular children's game into a high-wire act in his latest offering. In many picture books featuring people and animals, the animal world serves as the background. In Telephone, the opening spread features a wordless panorama in which children playing outside offer a clue of what's to come for the many birds sitting on the telephone lines high above.
After her father buys a cemetery and relocates their family inland from their idyllic California seaside home, 15-year-old Leigh finds not only that she's a good fit for the after-death industry, but also that it gives her some comfort. Her older sister's cancer just went into remission, her artistic mother would rather be back by the ocean, and Leigh's still grieving for the best friend she recently lost. When Leigh discovers a secret in the cemetery, her grief turns to guilt. She refuses to take on any new friends, not even the cool home--schooled girl whose family provides flowers for the cemetery.
There are many strange disappearances on Offley Street, from Imogen Splotts' teddy bear to Lady Chumley-Plumley's diamonds. And one creature has taken notice: Hermelin, a mouse that can read and write. Self-named for the cheese box in which he woke up one day, Hermelin resides in the attic of Number 33 Offley Street. Perhaps inspired by the old mysteries and Victorian garb surrounding him, the mouse sets out to find the lost items he sees on the neighborhood message board.
The creators of The Three Ninja Pigs kick up the high—or rather hi-yah—intensity with another fractured fairy tale. Starting where the previous book ended, the hungry and defeated wolf secretly enrolls in a martial arts school, where he "jackknifed and flipped / and at last felt equipped / to once again catch a good meal." When he meets Red deep in a bamboo forest, the carnivore quickly thinks up a plan to score a treat.
Following Countdown, Deborah Wiles' tale about the Cuban Missile Crisis and the first book in her Sixties Trilogy, Revolution spotlights the Freedom Summer of 1964. During this volatile time, black and white volunteers from four major civil rights organizations joined efforts to register as many African-American voters as possible in Mississippi, at the time one of the country's most racist and dangerous states.

The first volume Todd, The Ugliest Kid On Earth recently came out. If you're a regular reader at our fine establishment, you know that we're pretty big Todd fans. We've reviewed all the books and even made it onto the cover of the second issue's second printing. We also got a little quote on the back of the trade paperback. If you've still not given Todd a shot, now is the perfect time to get on the bandwagon. The series' second story is about to come out later this year. It will take a look at some occult goings on at PBS involving Charlie Rose, so if you thought things couldn't get crazier you're wrong. Todd is also getting made into a TV show by the fantastic Titmouse studios. To help get you initiated into the world of Todd, we're going to be giving away a copy of the volume 1 trade.
The contest is pretty simple. If you're a US citizen, head on over to our Facebook page (click here for a direct link) and "like" the page. After you do that, drop us a line about the ugliest thing you can think of. Todd's face is covered by a paper bag so we don't know what he really looks like, but we can assume he's probably not too handsome. What's the ugliest thing you can think of? What do you think could give Todd a run for his money? Just drop us a line on the Facebook page and you're automatically entered. Easy as can be. The contest will run until Friday (8/16/2013) at 3pm EST. We'll get in touch with the winner shortly thereafter. If you're not our lucky winner, you should still definitely check out Todd.

The easiest part of using Tumblr is setting up your account. Once you're registered, you have to figure out how to make the most of it for your business. Fortunately, Tumblr is very easy to use and even offers some automation tools that make your life easier. Here are some simple tips for making the most out of Tumblr for your small business:
Create Short-Format Posts
There's a place on the Internet for every type of content. If you want to post very short content, then you probably want to do it on Twitter or a platform that is similar in nature. If you have a lot to say, a full-blown blog will better suit your purpose. For content that is somewhere in between, Tumblelogging (Tumblr-style blogging) fits the bill. You do this by creating short-format posts that are not as short as Twitter posts but not as long as full-blown blogs.
Exercise Your Creativity
Get creative with your Tumblr theme. Viewers will consider your business based not only on your content, but also on the overall look of your Tumblelog. Choosing an interesting theme that is well suited to your type of business can boost your blog's appeal. Tumblr offers many free theme options, so you can select one that's just right for your business. Alternatively, you can purchase a premium theme. Why should you pay for what you can get for free? You can make use of freebies to add personality to your Tumblr, but sometimes getting a better theme is worth spending a little money. If you really want something completely unique for your Tumblelog, you can create your own theme or pay a designer to do it for you.
Use the Tumblr Bookmarklet
Make use of the Tumblr bookmarklet. This free tool can make your Tumblelogging easier. Using it, you can post content from anywhere on the Web, saving time and taking advantage of inspiration when it strikes you. All you have to do is install the bookmarklet to your toolbar and then click it whenever want to blog. It will automatically quote highlighted text for you, and capturing images and videos will be easy breezy. You won't even have to deal with any embed code. And giving credit where it's due will be easy as well. The bookmarklet links to the source to be credited. All you have to do then is add your comments, and your post is ready to go.
Autopost to Facebook and Twitter
It can be a real pain to post about the same topic on multiple platforms. Who has time for that? Tumblr makes it easy to update your Facebook and Twitter with the same great content you post to your Tumblelog. Navigate to settings within your Tumblr account to sync your Facebook and Twitter accounts. Then, each time you post, you'll also get a new tweet and post to your Facebook.
Have good Tumblr tips to share? We'd love to hear them! Please share your ideas in the comments section.
Hey! Think you could have written a better post? Why don't you do it then, hotshot?! Show us what you've got right here.

Jinbei in Irvine is a Japanese Restaurant's Japanese Restaurant

I usually avoid using the too-easily misconstrued word authentic to describe anything. But not since Kappo Sui in Costa Mesa have I encountered a more authentic Japanese restaurant in OC than Jinbei. No other word suits it. If John Wayne were a man's man, then Jinbei is a Japanese restaurant's Japanese restaurant, where everything served is exciting, intriguing and unfiltered. It's the kind of place you tell your friends about and hope they tell their friends about it, even while you wonder how it ended up here, tucked deep inside a treelined pocket of residential Irvine in one of Don Bren's most manicured neighborhood centers.
Before Jinbei, save for a few standouts, Irvine's Japanese joints were stuck broadcasting one wavelength, serving the lowest common denominators of teriyaki, sushi rolls and tempura combo plates. In fact, before Jinbei, two failed Japanese concepts came and went at this very spot.
To please those who require such things, Jinbei serves bentos and sushi. But even the bentos are atypical here. The one that features tonkatsu used a pork cutlet thicker and juicier than I expected: breaded with a light-handed grace; cooked with a gushing piece of fat attached; and served with homemade pickles, a hijiki seaweed side dish and an eggy potato salad in two separate bowls. But what most distinguishes these bentos might just be the house-made miso soup. It possessed a depth of flavor I never knew I was missing at other restaurants.
As good as the bentos are, and as tempting as the imported Japanese cuts of sashimi and nigiri look, Jinbei's scattershot menu is best explored by trying the items you'll need the waitress to translate. There are actually three menus, but the legal-sized scroll titled "JINBEI's Daily Recommendation" has all the interesting stuff. It's here where I found raw, crunchy, gelatinous octopus chopped to worm-sized pieces and slicked with a bracing wasabi marinade. It's here that I asked what a "koika to pumpkin no taitan" was and found out it's a simple braised dish of sublimely tender squid with boiled kabocha squash. But even the things that need no translation were great. There were ruddy, deep-fried chicken wings singing of their sake marinade; delicately fried pumpkin croquettes; and a towering salmon skin salad that, when torched to order, filled the restaurant with a barbecued-fish aroma.
Also brûléed with the same whoosh of acetylene flames: the creamy crab gratin, a ceramic bowl filled with ooey-gooey cheese and crab meat that have been baked together into a chowder-like sauce so thick it could double as Alfredo. And if you've never had unagi in any other state than lacquered in sticky sauce on a caterpillar roll, the vinegared eel and cucumber is a must. The meat is singed naked so the char cuts through its fishiness, and the cucumbers are spiral cut to resemble accordions. Both absorb the dressing and make a revelatory dish in an ocean of revelations.

Ubuntu Linux 12.10 review: Better, but slower
Those are all noteworthy issues, but they are also beside the main point: This is a new release of Ubuntu. What's new in it? How good it is? I've been using Ubuntu 12.10, aka "Quantal Quetzal, since its first beta and, hours before it's official release, I can safely say that this is a newer, better Ubuntu… for most users.

Campers pair off for a big circle dance during a previous Bannerman Family Thanksgiving Dance Camp, one of myriad activities that occur during the four-day holiday weekend.
- Filed Under
It might sound like a joke that the boyfriends and girlfriends of Glenn and Evelyn Bannerman's children and grandchildren have to pass the "family camp test" in order to be considered marriage material.
Maybe it's possible that someone could slip into the tribe without knowing how to clog, contra dance or capture the flag, put on a puppet show, tell a ghost story, carve a wooden swan or do the hokey pokey.
But it's not likely. And if they do manage to jump the Bannerman border without having mastered at least some of those skills, they'd better be willing to learn, and fast. ...

Judge is the Ice Man as Notts County repay efforts of snow workers
Posted: January 21, 2013|
FIRST they froze and then Francois Zoko boiled over. But Alan Judge kept his cool when his big moment arrived at sub-zero Meadow Lane. He was Notts County's Ice Man.
Talk about a triumph against adversity. Well, it was two triumphs because the Magpies beat the snow and then drew 1-1 with Sheffield United in League One, after conceding a goal on just 67 seconds and going down to ten men midway through the first half when Zoko was sent off. Both were against all the odds.
Fans flocked to the stadium early on Saturday morning to help clear snow off the pitch before an inspection. Even the Notts chairman Ray Trew and his wife, director Aileen, were out there, said boss Keith Curle.
Trew might not be prepared to shovel more of his money into the club, but he was quite clearly ready to shovel snow, with supporters, youth team players and coaches and the ground staff.
Once the frost covers were taken off and the pitch passed, the players came, not with shovels, but their boots and a determination to repay all of those volunteers, or should that be miracle workers. And they did, in the end.
And this could be a turning point. Really. Not only in the Magpies' season because they fought back to rescue a point against the Blades on home soil, but also in the relationship between supporters, players, Curle and the Trews, inspiring a renewed togetherness.
Each has been critical of each other at times. Fans have booed the players off the Meadow Lane pitch when they have underperformed and lost and Mr Trew recently took to a fans' messageboard to tell those that use it he was disillusioned by a lack of support from the terraces, which is why he is not ready to invest more cash into the club.
He also revealed the Magpies were having to deal with some financial issues, though he used his programme notes ahead of the United game to reassure fans there is no crisis.
"I would just like to reassure fans that Notts County are not in the midst of a financial crisis," he wrote.
"Times are tight, as they are for all businesses, and I am certainly not prepared to keep bankrolling the club indefinitely, but that shouldn't be a cause for concern.
"It just means we have to operate more astutely as a club and plans are already being put in place to ensure that we continue on a sound financial footing whilst also remaining competitive on the pitch."
It was all good to read. So too, was Zoko's apology. The Ivorian did it in a very modern way, via Twitter a couple of hours after the game ended. "Apologise to my team mates and Notts fans for my attitude today. Really sad. Well done guys for amazing performance," he wrote.
It will not stop him getting fined by the club, but it will encourage fans to forgive.
Zoko was dismissed on 25 minutes. First, he was shown a yellow card for arguing with a linesman, after he flagged for a foul he committed on United's Tony McMahon on the right edge of the penalty area, and then referee Mary Haywood pulled out a red card, after he turned on him. Dissent clearly turned into foul and abusive language and Zoko was off.
It was all rather out of character. Zoko is always so chilled out and polite. It looked a harsh decision against him, in truth, but even so his reaction was wrong. He lost his temper big time and will now pay the price of a fine and suspension.
To make it all worse, Curle had given him his long-awaited chance in attack for the first time this season, but he blew it.
Judge also took to Twitter after the game. "Good game 2day. Even with 10 men thought we were the better team by far. Happy with the point. Great character from the lads," he wrote in 140 characters.
He was the Magpies' hero, like he has been so many times since he arrived at Meadow Lane, scoring the decisive equalising goal on 80 minutes.
Having been undone by a set-piece, Notts levelled from one, as Alan Sheehan and his luscious left foot swung a free-kick into the penalty area and Judge, one of the smallest players on the pitch at 5ft 7in, directed a glorious glancing header across United goalkeeper George Long and inside his right-hand post from nine yards.
Then he did the easy bit, sliding down onto his knees in the snow behind the goal to celebrate in front of the Kop.
The Magpies did not need a reminder of his importance 13 days before the January transfer window closes, with Championship club Charlton Athletic sniffing around the Irishman, but they got one in the most dramatic way possible.
The Blades had scored at the same end of the stadium at the opposite end of the game.
There was just over a minute on the clock when Nick Blackman curled a corner into the penalty area and visitors' defender Harry Maguire headed past Notts goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski from close range, unchallenged.
The Magpies then almost fell 2-0 down on three minutes. Once again, their set-piece defending was poor as Danny Higginbotham met a second corner into the box with a powerful header and Bialkowski tipped it over the bar.
The game could have been all over before it had really even begun, but fortunately it wasn't and Notts eventually claimed a point their never-say-die attitude deserved.
At the end Curle stood on the touchline and shook the hand of every one of his players before they exited down the tunnel because he was so proud of them.
Then he headed to a warmer place too and as the floodlights went off, the pitch covers went back on.

A Des Moines police officer spun his patrol car across Interstate Highway 235 and slid into a ditch Friday morning after another driver collided with the police cruiser, police said.
Officer Scott Whittaker was driving west on Interstate Highway 235 to monitor traffic when a woman driving in the lane to Whittaker's right lost control on an ice patch and rammed into the patrol car's passenger side, according to police.
"He said next thing he knew he was spinning and going up the hill," Sgt. Jeff Phillips of the police traffic unit said. "It just slid up the embankment ... but it didn't roll."
The accident occurred near 31st Street. No injuries were reported.
The driver whose vehicle hit the police car was given a citation for failure to have control of her vehicle.
Whittaker escaped serious injury last month after his car slid on ice and into a utility pole as he attempted to stop a vehicle for speeding.

I use this quick-tip frequently to determine if I'm a local administrator. The trouble with some tips is that you just know them, they're so simple so you don't bother to tell people as you're under the assumption they "must have known that". This exact circumstance happened today in the office when a colleague was having problems installing some software. They thought they had local admin rights, but didn't.
Click 1: Right-Click My ComputerClick 2: Select PropertiesClick 3: Select the "Computer Name" tab
If the "Change" box is available, you're a local administrator. If it's greyed out, you're not. It's that simple.
So as to combine one tip into two, if you didn't know, you could change Clicks 1 and 2 above with 2 keyboard hits: Windows Key + Break.
How about double clicking the tray clock? If you're not an admin it will not show up the Date/Time control panel applet.
Jerry - I'm very impressed! Hadn't heard of that one. So we're down to two mouse clicks. Here's a challenge then, can anyone identify those admin rights in just one click? Pretty sure I'm on a safe bet though!
I never log in with administrator rights. I use RunAs or a CMD with admin rights when i need to install/remove software or change something...
Hi Marcus - This is very sound advice and I respect anyone who rigorously adopts this procedure. It is certainly a very worthwhile point to make from a security perspective. Without going into the rights and wrongs of this particular debate (ie is a can of worms), I'd definitely have to hand any comments or discussion on this one to my colleage, Steve Lamb who is a Security Evangelist. His blog is at http://blogs.msdn.com/steve_lamb.
even better.
right click the start button. if you see "explore all users" you are an admin.
Matt - It would make sense that you're right (but the machine I'm logged on at currently is an account with local admin rights). I'll check this one out a bit later... A single mouse click - I'm _VERY_ impressed!
The challenge now has to be telepathy - no mouse clicks, keyboard strokes or other UI devices. I'm pretty confident that no-one will get there though ;-)
Unless you know better....?
I can't take credit for this one (that belongs to an old colleague from BMW) but apparently it used to be possible to tell if someone was a local admin based on the number of Command Prompt windows they had open at once. Not sure that still stands nowadays ;-)
Some of these might need checked to be actually be accurate. For example, a Power User can change the system time, but a User cannot. Therefore, that doesn't actually tell if you are an administrator. For the Explore All Users option, it may depend on folder permissions which can be set at an individual level instead of on you group.
How 'bout Windows+R followed by dfrg.msc?
I usually do Windows Key + Break and if you can only see 5 tabs (one row only) you're limited. Not sure though if you have to be admin or if poweruser is enough to see all tabs.

Sailors aboard the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman, which returned April 18 from a nine-month deployment, would've earned hundreds of dollars under a new plan that offers extra cash for sailors on deployments lasting more than 190 days. (Steve Helber/AP)
- Filed Under
Now that the era of six-month deployments is in the rearview mirror, Navy leaders are hammering out a plan to pad fleet sailors wallets.
The Navy wants to start a special pay for sailors on long deployments where the average sailor could see an additional $500 to $1,000 in their pocket for each overseas cruise.
And depending on where you are in the world, that money could be tax-free.
Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Bill Moran, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jon Greenert and Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus are developing a plan to get this money into sailors pockets in the next year or two making the Navy first among the services to pay out this special pay that has long been a priority for veterans organizations.
Navy Times has learned new details about the special pay, according to interviews with Navy leaders and defense officials familiar with the Navys proposal. If approved, heres how high deployment allowance pay will work:
■ The pay kicks in after youve been deployed for 190 straight days.
■ Sailors will get about $250 an exact amount hasnt been determined for every month theyre deployed beyond that point.
■ As the plan stands, the pay will not be prorated:Sailors will get their first full months worth of cash on Day 191, another payout on Day 221, and so on.
With carrier cruises now averaging about 260 days, or 8½ months, this special pay would mean a big boost to fleet sailors wallets.
The added dollars are part of a series of measures that leaders hope will keep sailors motivated and retention strong as the economy improves and the pace of operations remains high.
With the longer deployments on top of all the changes to compensation, we really want this win for our sailors, said a Navy official familiar with the matter, who asked for anonymity to discuss ongoing deliberations. He estimated that 10,000 sailors would receive this pay every year.
One influential sailor advocacy organization said the Navys latest plan was especially needed now, with sailors and their families grappling with longer time apart.
Tom Snee, head of the Fleet Reserve Association and a former master chief career counselor, said the benefit is needed because of the uncertainty in todays fleet.
Its not like the old days where you knew exactly when you were going to deploy and when you were going to get back, he said in an April 17 phone interview. At least with monetary compensation, it shows that the effort and hardship of long days at sea is appreciated and valued.
'A real hardship'
For Navy brass, its about fairness and retention.
Its not lost on Pentagon officials or lawmakers that the Navy is sending sailors on longer and longer deployments.
In a recent hearing, Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., raised this concern to Greenert and Mabus.
Its my experience in going around and talking to people, the kids that are out there, that the deployments are just killing the families, Inhofe said. Its a real hardship.
To leadership, those hardships could cause sailors to start voting with their feet. The fleet has already seen a down-tick in retention among pilots, special operators and nukes as the tempo of operations has spiked. Combined with budget cuts and uncertainties about the fleets size, Navy leaders are worried that these downwardtrends in some communities could be a canary in a coal mine.
As a way of bringing back balance to the force, Adm. Bill Gortney, the head of Fleet Forces Command, has unveiled a new fleet deployment plan. The Optimized Fleet Response Plan calls for eight-month deployments to be the standard over a 36-month cycle, four months longer than the old cycle.
Their calculation is that the longer deployment time, yielding more overseas presence, will allow fleet leaders to better follow predictable schedules as long as a crisis doesnt erupt.
This will yield more time at home per cycle than the six-month deployments offered before, fleet bosses say, as long as the service doesnt deploy a ship for a second time during the 14-month sustainment period laid out in the OFRP.
Many stand to gain under the Navys plan. Sailors aboard the carrier Harry S. Truman, which returned April 18 from a nine-month deployment, would come back with an additional $750 or so in their pockets.
The rationale for the pay is that it might keep some sailors in who are near their stay-or-leave decision.
These actions further incentivize and place value upon sea duty, aid in retaining needed skills, and act as levers to counter known retention behaviors in an improving national economy, the Navy official said.
Never been done
There is one big hitch in this plan: It has never been paid out before.
The CNO and the CNP are calling for instituting the high deployment allowance, which was signed into law 14 years ago. It allows the service secretaries, like Mabus, to pay service members up to $1,000 for long deployments. The law defines a long deployment as one lasting more than 190 days.
HDA was intended to act as a kind of tax for over-deploying units the law also requires that service members deployed more than 400 days in two years receive the pay.
But then came the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.Just as deployments were about to get longer, Defense Department officials suspended the allowance.
No service member has ever seen one dime of high deployment allowance in the 14 years since it became the law of the land.
There have been several attempts to resurrect the pay, but it has never been popular in Pentagon corridors. In 2008, when the Army was attempting to secure what it called Warrior Pay for soldiers deployed more than 12 months, DoD asked to repeal HDA to give the services more flexibility in defining what constituted a long deployment and how much to pay.
But the Navy has come around. For starters, the 190-day mark has for more than three decades been about the average length of a standard deployment. But as budget cuts triggered by sequestration took hold over the past three years, the Navys planning mechanisms were thrown into disarray. The ships that were most ready for deployments headed out over and over again.
That was the case with the carrier John C. Stennis, which in 2012 returned from a seven-month cruise, only to turn around and leave for an eight-month cruise half a year later. Retention took a hit on the Stennis, particularly in the reactor spaces, Moran said, adding that it has recovered since.
But with Navy leaders resigned to longer deployments becoming the new normal, the idea of bringing back HDA gained currency.
'A brake'
When the Navy studied the costs of paying the extra deployment money, they concluded it was reasonable and offered long-term retention benefits, said Bryan Clark, a former staffer for the CNO.
It wasnt all that expensive because it doesnt affect that many people, said Clark, a retired Navy commander who is now a defense expert with the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments in Washington. And it pales in comparison to the cost of operating the ships.
The higher costs are one selling point for turning on HDA, said the Navy official with direct knowledge of the negotiations.
HDA is paid from operational and maintenance appropriations, and in the future could act as a brake on overutilization of the fleet, he said.
For example, the roughly 5,000 sailors and airmen onboard the Stennis who made the double-pump deployments would have each walked away with about $750. That would add up to an added cost of about $4 million, had HDA been flowing at that time.
Clark said that when the discussion of paying HDA had surfaced in the past, it was met with opposition. DoD leaders were concerned about defining 190 days as a long deployment across each of the services. And the Army, which typically sends soldiers on nine-month or longer overseas rotations, would incur heavy payouts.
The Navy is working on another way to get the sailors money, which might be more palatable for other services.
That option would be to institute Hazardous Duty Pay-Tempo, or HDP-T. This option would be more attractive to other services, such as the Army, because it gives the service secretary greater leeway to define a long deployment.
Either way, the official said, the Navy is committed to the $250-range per month rate.
Cmdr. Scott McIlnay, a Joint Chiefs spokesman, said that a draft of the plan has not been forwarded to DoD or the Joint Chiefs, but that one is forthcoming.
The Navy is working on a proposal that they intend to forward to [the Department of Defense and the Joint Chiefs], McIlnay said in an email. Its not appropriate for me to comment on a Navy proposal, and nothing formal has been sent.

Daughter struggling to define who she is
Dear Carolyn • I have two daughters. "Elinor" is a classic high-achieving firstborn who has always excelled in school; she attends a highly selective magnet school. "Marianne" is three years younger and has always felt herself to be in her sister's shadow. Marianne is a capable student, but nothing has been as easy for her as it has been for Elinor. Her tendency has been to define herself in opposition to her older sister: "If Elinor is interested in X, I am not going to be interested in X." This is fine in many ways I have encouraged Marianne to find her own activities and interests. However, it's not OK with me for this logic to be applied to school. So far Marianne has done well in school, but middle school looms and I am already seeing signs that Marianne is picking up the message that smart girls lose some social currency. I sense Marianne is not willing to make that social sacrifice. How can I help her navigate middle school and give her the academic support she needs, while at the same time not pressuring her to somehow replicate her sister's experience? I don't expect her to be an academic star, but at the same time, I want her to take pride in doing her best rather than holding back so no one thinks she is a geek.
Girls, intelligence, middle school, sigh
Dear Girls • It sounds as if you need to freshen up the way you see and talk to your daughter. You're both in ruts here. She's seeing herself as the not-Elinor and you're seeing her as the classic younger, not as the human wow you believe the elder to be. Both views fail to give M's individuality enough room to breathe. Or E's for that matter. Start by pointing out to M that defining herself as the not-E, and reading her peers for cues, both limit her exactly where she most wants to soar and that is in being whoever she damn pleases. That's what all this is about, right? She blames the Elinor shadow for denying her freedom to define herself? Well, the two escape routes she's eyeing are both all about letting someone else tell her who she is. The only path that will satisfy her most basic longing is the one that suits her, by her standards, in her eyes.

The #2 Port in the Academic Storm Is About to Close
June 23, 2011
The wave of the future for higher education is distance learning. The World Wide Web is a revolution. It offers people opportunities to buy information from anywhere. The cost of delivery is close to free. The need for bricks and mortar facilities is ending. There are several accredited colleges with no physical facilities that offer low-cost degrees.
As of 2006, there were 3.5 million students taking distance learning courses. The figure is higher today.
When I wrote the early editions of my manual, College for $15,000 (or Less), I realized that the bricks and mortar colleges now face a major crisis. They are facing price competition. Management guru Peter Drucker wrote a generation ago that any industry that faces price competition from a new source that offers the same product or service for 10% of the existing price will be replaced by the existing industry. Drucker saw what this means for university education.
Thirty years from now the big university campuses will be relics. Universities won't survive. It's as large a change as when we first got the printed book. Do you realize that the cost of higher education has risen as fast as the cost of health care? . . . Such totally uncontrollable expenditures, without any visible improvement in either the content or the quality of education, means that the system is rapidly becoming untenable. Higher education is in deep crisis. . . . Already we are beginning to deliver more lectures and classes off campus via satellite or two-way video at a fraction of the cost. The college won't survive as a residential institution. Today's buildings are hopelessly unsuited and totally unneeded. (Robert Lenzner and Stephen S. Johnson, "Seeing things as they really are," Forbes, March 10, 1997)
All bricks and mortar campuses are in a position to enter the field of distance learning, yet with only one major exception, Louisiana State University, none of them is doing this. They are in a position to offer low-cost courses to out-of-state students in many fields and do so at a profit, yet they resist.
In 2009, there were three main campuses that offered a wide range of courses at a price of under $200 per semester credit: LSU, Texas Tech, and Eastern Oregon University. Texas Tech offered courses at under $170 per semester credit. In 2010, the school hiked its fees to out-of-state students to over $770 per credit hour. It went from the #2 school in the nation in terms of course offerings and price to one of the most expensive. It thereby killed its distance learning program.
As of summer, 2012, Eastern Oregon will double the price of its courses to all students other than Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. That will effectively remove it from contention.
The former governor of Georgia, Roy Barnes, described the thinking of any college administration that prices its courses at a significantly higher rate to out-of-state distance-learning students.
Many will ask whether states can afford to do this in times of a sluggish economy and state budget cuts. This question is based in large measure on the fallacy that thousands of students will pay out-of-state tuition for a college course they take on a computer at work or at home. When a distance-learning course is priced at an out-of-state tuition rate of $1,200, for example (three times the average in-state charge), the revenue for a college or a state is usually $1,200 x zero students = zero dollars.
Barnes understood pricing, but university presidents do not. The president of Eastern Oregon University offered this explanation for the school's decision to double the price of its distance learning courses to out-of-state students.
In order to increase our revenues, and as mandated by the state, we must develop a non-resident tuition model that fits in with our strategies of being cost competitive. This can be done (Western Oregon is a prime example of this) and we are working diligently in this area. Non-resident tuition will not be our "silver bullet" and save EOU from future budget issues; however, if implemented correctly and aggressively, it will enable us to control our revenue streams much more effectively.
This is economic nonsense. With the defection of Texas Tech in 2010, Eastern Oregon University could legitimately claim to be the second-best deal in distance learning in the United States. There are 4,000 colleges and universities. Eastern Oregon is now in second place. Yet the school never promoted itself for what it was: in the top three. It then moved from #3 to #2 because of Texas Tech's suicidal policy. But it will keep this position for only one more academic year.
Meanwhile, the University of Phoenix has 500,000 students at tuition fees far higher than Eastern Oregon University's.
The University of Phoenix is the wave of the future: the largest university in the world. It is also the most profitable. Yet college presidents of obscure colleges such as Eastern Oregon University, whose schools could give the University of Phoenix a run for its money, hike prices to out-of-state students and think that this is effective marketing. Or, to quote the president of Eastern Oregon, doubling prices above in-state tuition, "if implemented correctly and aggressively . . . will enable us to control our revenue streams much more effectively." Yes, it will, because the revenue streams from out of state students will disappear. They will be so much easier to manage!
Eastern Oregon remains a great deal. The school will let out-of-state students who enroll before summer 2012 to keep the in-state tuition structure for six years. I recommend that any cost-conscious student consider enrolling. http://www.eou.edu/academics. But the reality is this: the school is about to forfeit its enviable position as the #2 bargain in American higher education.
You might think that the school's administration would have actively promoted its distance learning program. This never happened. The program was always an afterthought, as these programs are in most schools. The administration and the faculties are geared to an 800-year-old tradition of bricks, mortar, classrooms, and physical presence. For 800 years, students came to the universities. The old rule held true: "If the mountain cannot come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain."
With the advent of the World Wide Web in 1995, the academic mountains have been able to go to the Mohammeds of the world. But the administrators do not see the opportunity. They in fact fear it. They see what the University of Phoenix has done, and they do not know what to do to compete. So, they adopt policies of price discrimination. They charge more to out-of-state students. For a tax-funded school, this is simply ridiculous. For any school, it is ridiculous. Brigham Young University, which is private, charges $153.
Schools charge bricks-and-mortar prices for digital education. Digital education is not only superior academically in most liberal arts subjects, it can be sold far cheaper. But administrators pretend that someone is going to buy overpriced services. They are wrong. The administrators are killing their distance learning programs. Meanwhile, the whole world is going digital. Salaried bureaucrats are not entrepreneurial. Does this come as a surprise?
Any school that offered liberal arts courses at $100 per semester credit hour could pay its faculty members on average $90,000 a year for year-round education, and pocket 40% of the fees. But administrators are in the hip pickets of faculty members, and faculty members with tenure (a tiny percentage these days) resist wage hikes for non-tenured members and increased teaching loads (four whole classes per semester!) for themselves. The administrators are walking away from positive cash flow. They do not see it. Even if they did, they would not care.
In this sense, college administrators are like parents. Parents shell out $10,000 a year to send their children to tax-funded universities, unaware that it takes five or six years for the average student to graduate. They do not understand that over 45% of those who enroll as freshmen do not graduate. They do not understand that a standard bachelor's degree can be earned in less than four years for a total outlay of $15,000 or less. They are not price-sensitive. They are under peer pressure and also under pressure from their children.
And then, $23,000 in debt, their children return to live at home and work at some minimum-wage job that they could have gotten five or six years earlier.
The system of higher education in the United States is economically irrational. It survives only because of government regulation through the nominally private accreditation system. But there are still ways around the system.
For two semesters more, Eastern Oregon University is a good way to beat the system.
In late April 2014, I was sent this.
We are always very happy to have others recommend our programs, and we appreciate your recognition of our excellent value to students in the breadth and depth of our offerings, and our low tuition rate.
I am happy to report, however, that the reference in your article to a tuition increase for online students is incorrect. YOu had explained that EOU was a great value, but that our tuition was going to double, and you cited a statement by our president, Bob Davies.
The truth is that EOU still offers the same low tuition and fee structure to online students that Oregon residents receive.
Here is a link to the student accounts website with the current tuition and fee structure: http://www.eou.edu/staccts/tuition-and-fees/. Officials DID raise tuition and fees for on campus out-of-state students, but NOT for online out-of-state students.
We are very proud of our university, and of the high quality programs available to students. We have strong faculty, excellent courses, and supportive student services (including a personal academic advisor assigned to EVERY online student). All this, in a tuition and fee structure which is one of the best bargains in the nation, no matter where a student lives.

TOS: Allegiance in Exile by DRGIII Review Thread (Spoilers!)
View Single Post

Re: TOS: Allegiance in Exile by DRGIII Review Thread (Spoilers!)
I just finished the book, so I can respond to this now:
Jarvisimo wrote:
I also just want to ask whether
Allegience in Exile
fits more into George's
world than into the more mainstream novelverse (
a la
Vanguard and
Forgotten History
I'd say it's ambiguous. Some of its details, at least in the brief final chapter, are a little inconsistent with
's version of the end of the 5YM, but not so much that they can't be reconciled if you squint a little. Ditto with the main novelverse -- it makes some assumptions that don't mesh perfectly with the
Ex Machina/Forgotten History
version of events, but the differences are pretty much matters of nuance, so they can be made to fit easily enough. I'm not sure it entirely meshes with
The Rings of Time
, though, since they both span a fair amount of the last few months of the 5YM and it might be tricky to fit them both into the available time. But at worst you'd only have to fudge a couple of small details to reconcile them. There are already greater continuity glitches in the novelverse, not to mention in canon itself. Heck, if you wanted, you could even reconcile AiE with the
Mission's End
comic without much fudging, or with DC's "Final Mission" annual. (It doesn't quite fit with the others. In
The Lost Years
and the '95 DC version, Kirk has no advance intimations of his promotion, and the SNW10 story puts the end of the 5YM right after "Turnabout Intruder," disregarding TAS.)
Although, given the reference to the bit of novelverse continuity discussed in spoilers above, I imagine that would give the edge to the novelverse as the most likely "home" continuity for the book.

How is that "Affordable Health Care" working out? It never was about cost or quality. Hopefully, it is becoming evident to all.
Higher taxes, less freedom, worse healthcare... that sure worked out well, thanks liberals!

To the editor:
Serenity Skye Sutton
Serenity Skye Sutton was born to Tabitha and Micky Sutton on Feb. 10, 2010 at Georgetown Community Hospital. She weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz.
(Editor's note: This is an updated column from 2005, about a well-known and dearly loved local service dog that died this week. Charlie was a welcome guest at nursing homes and hospitals and marched in parades. This is a tribute to Charlie, who will be missed.)
Joan Chipkar has one of those kind hearts that I only dream of having.
She says there's no such thing as a stray — dog or person — as long as she has four walls and a roof. She adopts them all, believing that all God's creatures have a purpose.
My letter today is in regards to the election for city commissioner. I would like to publicly express my support for one candidate in particular, Roger D. Slade. I think it is important that the community of Cynthiana has an outsider's perspective concerning Roger Slade. I have resided in Cynthiana for just six years and Roger was one of the first few individuals that I met here. Roger was a very welcoming person, a true ambassador of a small town. His love and vision for Cynthiana was evident from the first day we met.
