To be fair, sometimes my mind insists on playing by 'real world' rules when asking 'who would play so&so if this was a movie?' By which I mean, I try to imagine if this book were filmed now, who would be in it?
Does that apply if you're reading, say, a TOS novel set during the original series? If you read a Shatnerverse novel with the older versions of the characters, do you use present-day Shatner and Nimoy but recast McCoy?
I do often try to imagine current actors for new book-only roles, but I don't like the idea of mentally recasting characters we've seen onscreen.
I mean, I just read To Catch a Thief, a 1940s set detective novel by Robert Kaminsky. Cary Grant plays a large role in it - as in, playing himself.
Odd, since Cary Grant starred in Hitchcock's 1955 film
To Catch a Thief
, based on a book by David Dodge. Oh, wait, you said the book is
in the '40s, not written then. I guess the author is making an homage to the film in some way.

Adding JavaScript code completion (sidekick?--not sure
how this is implemented) would make JEdit the ultimate
web developer's tool.
Alan Ezust
Logged In: YES
SideKick has a completion mechanism. XML already has a
JavaScriptSideKick which has no completion yet.
Anyone who wants to work on that should be committing to the
XML plugin SVN. If you volunteer, speak to me about getting
commit privileges.
Logged In: YES
I've looked at it. It'll take a lot of work, I think.
Right now, the javascript sidekick parser is a few regular
expressions. They do an okay job of parsing javascript, but
it could be better. They are not sufficient to implement
code completion. Really, what's needed is a better parser.
I've looked for a decent javacc parser for javascript, but
haven't found one. I adjusted the html sidekick to delegate
to the css sidekick so in-line <style> tags are parsed into
the html tree, it would be awesome to do the same thing with
with in-line javascript.
Logged In: YES
Hmm, I googled again and found a relatively recent jjt file
for ecmascript. I'll add this to my growing list of things

If it helps, it looks like Vim 7.0 has JavaScript code
completion. I don't know if the formats are compatible, but
maybe their script could be used?

Crawford backs Khabibulin day after rough outing
A day after Nikolai Khabibulin allowed four goals against the Senators, prompting his removal from the game, teammates continued to show their support for the veteran net minder.
And this time, it was the man who replaced him Tuesday night.
Corey Crawford, who helped lead the Blackhawks back from behind to a 6-5 victory over Ottawa, offered a vote of confidence in Khabibulin.
"I know he wants to compete so hard and he wants to do so well. I'm not worried about him at all," Crawford said Wednesday. "He's a great goalie, he's won a Stanley Cup. He's going to win some big games for us. So there's no worries there."
[WATCH: SportsTalk Live: How much longer will Khabibulin be in Chicago?]
Khabibulin's performance this season has not inspired confidence in many Blackhawks fans. Prior to Tuesday's four-goal performance, Khabibulin allowed six in a loss to the Lightning. In three games played for the Hawks this season, he has allowed an average of 4.73 goals per outing and posted a save percentage of just .818. He's won one game, lost another in overtime and came away with no decision in the third.
Meanwhile, down at AHL affiliate Rockford, goalie Antti Raanta has gone 5-1-0 in seven games with a goals against average of 2.40 and a .926 save percentage. Still, Raanta is young and still getting accustomed to playing in North America. His performance, though, has some fans asking for a switch behind Crawford.

Talk:Jesse Crain
From BR Bullpen
Crain was impressive during that Italy/Canada game, I just don't understand why they didn't bring him out sooner... Game was basically over at that point. Those fastballs would have come in handy much earlier in the game! --Oaktree_b 14:44, 10 March 2009 (EDT)
I guess Whitt thought Crain was his closer, so he was reluctant to bring him in when it still mattered. His management of the pitching staff as a whole was puzzling, I must say. --Philippe 20:09, 10 March 2009 (EDT)
some of the message boards are calling for Whitt's head on a silver platter, but I don't think it was entirely his fault. The Team as a whole looked kinda soft. Pitching can only get you so far, they needed more hits, and not so many errors on the field...--Oaktree_b 23:42, 11 March 2009 (EDT)

Hartford City
Regarding marriage equality, a recent letter writer maintained that equal does not mean equivalent (nor should it) and that the ability to procreate is a basic difference that legitimizes inequity.
History reminds us that such distinctions are often part of social mores involving bigotry. Case in point, Plessy v. Ferguson (1887) required many railways to provide "equal but separate accommodations for the white and colored races" on the premise that separating by skin color was "reasonable." Today, we view the case as an example of institutionalized racism marginalizing a minority group.
Consider arguments against women's suffrage in the early 1900s, including, "Women and men have separate spheres" and, "The physical nature of women unfits them for direct competition with men." Similarly, anti-suffragists believed women were unsuited for politics because of their motherliness and femininity. Today, such claims are viewed as both inaccurate and sexist.
If the purpose of marriage is procreation, and if we are willing to bar homosexuals from marriage on the ground that they cannot procreate, should we not also make it unlawful for barren women, sterile men, and those who eschew parenthood to marry?
Otherwise, we are cherry-picking which citizens may have access to the same rights as heterosexuals and those whose liberties we are willing to trample in a stampede to the alleged moral high ground.
We've come a long way since 1887, learning that separate (equivalent) is not equal and that the rights of any citizens should not be abridged because of "fundamental differences."

Quarterly Report
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and are based on our currently available financial, economic and competitive data and on current business plans. Actual events or results may differ materially depending on risks and uncertainties that may affect our operations, markets, services, prices and other factors.
Statements concerning our ability to successfully acquire and integrate new operations, to grow our contract management business, our financial guidance, our future cost saving efforts, our increased business from new equipment or operations and our ability to finance our operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "assumption" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
The factors included in "Risk Factors," in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as amended or supplemented by the information, if any, in Part II - Item 1A below, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. You should consider the inherent limitations on, and risks associated with, forward-looking statements and not unduly rely on the accuracy of predictions contained in such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date when they are made. Except as required under the federal securities laws or by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances, changes in expectations, or the occurrence of unanticipated events after the date of those statements. Moreover, in the future, the Company, through senior management, may make forward-looking statements that involve the risk factors and other matters described in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q as well as other risk factors subsequently identified, including, among others, those identified in the Company's filings with the SEC on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.
We do not undertake any responsibility to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to take into account events or circumstances that occur after the date of this quarterly report. Additionally, we do not undertake any responsibility to update you on the occurrence of any unanticipated events which may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report.
With 236 centers, which we operate directly or indirectly through joint ventures as of September 30, 2012, located in California, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Florida, and New York, we are the leading national provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States based on number of locations and aggregate annual imaging revenue. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, often minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our services include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), fluoroscopy and other related procedures. The vast majority of our centers offer multi-modality imaging services, a key point of differentiation from our competitors. Our multi-modality strategy diversifies revenue streams, reduces exposure to reimbursement changes and provides patients and referring physicians one location to serve the needs of multiple procedures.
We seek to develop leading positions in regional markets in order to leverage operational efficiencies. Our scale and density within selected geographies provides close, long-term relationships with key payors, radiology groups and referring physicians. Each of our facility managers is responsible for managing relationships with local physicians and payors, meeting our standards of patient service and maintaining profitability. We provide corporate training programs, standardized policies and procedures and sharing of best practices among the physicians in our regional networks.
We derive substantially all of our revenue, directly or indirectly, from fees charged for the diagnostic imaging services performed at our facilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we performed 3,127,687 diagnostic imaging procedures and generated total net service fee revenue of $487.8 million.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radnet Management, Inc. (or "Radnet Management") and Beverly Radiology Medical Group III, a professional partnership ("BRMG"). The consolidated financial statements also include Radnet Management I, Inc., Radnet Management II, Inc., Radiologix, Inc., Radnet Management Imaging Services, Inc., Delaware Imaging Partners, Inc., New Jersey Imaging Partners, Inc. and Diagnostic Imaging Services, Inc. ("DIS"), all wholly owned subsidiaries of Radnet Management. All of these affiliated entities are referred to collectively as "RadNet", "we", "us", "our" or the "Company" in this report.
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Section 810-10-15-14 stipulates that
generally any entity with a) insufficient equity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support provided by other parties, or
b) equity holders that, as a group, lack the characteristics specified in the ASC which evidence a controlling financial interest, is considered a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE"). We consolidate all VIE's in which we own a majority voting interest and all VIE's for which we are the primary beneficiary. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE through a qualitative analysis that identifies which variable interest holder has the controlling financial interest in the VIE. The variable interest holder who has both of the following has the controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary:
(1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In performing our analysis, we consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including: the design and activities of the VIE, the terms of the contracts the VIE has entered into, the nature of the VIE's variable interests issued and how they were negotiated with or marketed to potential investors, and which parties participated significantly in the design or redesign of the entity.
Howard G. Berger, M.D. is our President and Chief Executive Officer, a member of our Board of Directors and is deemed to be the beneficial owner, directly and indirectly, of approximately 14.1% of our outstanding common stock as of September 30, 2012. Dr. Berger also owns, indirectly, 99% of the equity interests in BRMG. BRMG provides all of the professional medical services at the majority of our facilities located in California under a management agreement with us, and employs physicians or contracts with various other independent physicians and physician groups to provide the professional medical services at most of our other California facilities. We generally obtain professional medical services from BRMG in California, rather than provide such services directly or through subsidiaries, in order to comply with California's prohibition against the corporate practice of medicine. However, as a result of our close relationship with Dr. Berger and BRMG, we believe that we are able to better ensure that medical service is provided at our California facilities in a manner consistent with our needs and expectations and those of our referring physicians, patients and payers than if we obtained these services from unaffiliated physician groups. BRMG is a partnership of ProNet Imaging Medical Group, Inc., Breastlink Medical Group, Inc. and Beverly Radiology Medical Group, Inc., each of which are 99% or 100% owned by Dr. Berger. RadNet provides non-medical, technical and administrative services to BRMG for which it receives a management fee, pursuant to the terms of the management agreement. Through the management agreement and our relationship with Dr. Berger, we have exclusive authority over all non-medical decision making related to the ongoing business operations of BRMG. Through our management agreement with BRMG we determine the annual budget of BRMG and make all physician employment decisions. BRMG has insignificant operating assets and liabilities, and de minimis equity. Through the management agreement with us, all of BRMG's cash flows are transferred to us. We have determined that BRMG is a VIE, and that we are the primary beneficiary, and consequently, we consolidate the revenue and expenses of BRMG. BRMG recognized $15.0 million and $13.0 million, and $41.4 million and $40.6 million of net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $15.0 million and $13.0 million, and $41.4 million and $40.6 million of operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. RadNet recognized $53.0 million and $47.0 million, and $156.6 million and $142.5 million of net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for management services provided to BRMG relating primarily to the technical portion of total billed revenue. The cash flows of BRMG are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The creditors of BRMG do not have recourse to our general credit and there are no other arrangements that could expose us to losses. However, BRMG is managed to recognize no net income or net loss and, therefore, RadNet may be required to provide financial support to cover any operating expenses in excess of operating revenues.
Aside from centers in California where we contract with BRMG for the provision of professional medical services and consolidate 100% of the patient service revenue, at the remaining centers in California and at all of the centers which are located outside of California, we have entered into long-term contracts with independent radiology groups in the area to provide physician services at those facilities. These third party radiology practices provide professional services, including supervision and interpretation of diagnostic imaging procedures, in our diagnostic imaging centers. The radiology practices maintain full control over the provision of professional services. The contracted radiology practices generally have outstanding physician and practice credentials and reputations; strong competitive market positions; a broad sub-specialty mix of physicians; a history of growth and potential for continued growth. In these facilities we enter into long-term agreements with radiology practice groups (typically 40 years). Under these arrangements, we provide management services and receive a fee which includes 100% of the technical reimbursements associated with imaging procedures for the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision of technical services. Our service fees also include a portion of the practice group's professional revenue, including revenue derived outside of our diagnostic imaging centers as well as fees for administrative services. The radiology practice groups retain the professional reimbursements associated with imaging procedures after deducting service fees paid to us. We have no financial interest in the independent (non-BRMG) radiology practices; accordingly, we do not consolidate the financial statements of those practices in our consolidated financial statements and record only our service fee revenue.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements that were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Management makes estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect various matters, including:
� our reported amounts of assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets at the dates of the financial statements;
� our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements; and
� our reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations during the reporting periods.
These estimates involve judgments with respect to numerous factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond management's control. As a result, actual amounts could differ materially from these estimates.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, defines critical accounting estimates as those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. In Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, we discuss our significant accounting policies, including those that do not require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. The most significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates are described below.
During the period covered in this report, there were no material changes to the critical accounting estimates we use, and have described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, consists of net patient fees received from various payers and patients themselves based mainly upon established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts. As it relates to BRMG centers, this service fee revenue includes payments for both the professional medical interpretation revenue recognized by BRMG as well as the payment for all other aspects related to our providing the imaging services, for which we earn management fees from BRMG. As it relates to non-BRMG centers, this service fee revenue is earned through providing the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision of technical services as well as providing administration services such as clerical and administrative personnel, bookkeeping and accounting services, billing and collection, provision of medical and office supplies, secretarial, reception and transcription services, maintenance of medical records, and advertising, marketing and promotional activities.
Service fee revenues are recorded during the period the services are provided based upon the estimated amounts due from the patients and third-party payers. Third-party payers include federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care health plans are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Contractual payment terms in managed care agreements are generally based upon predetermined rates per discounted fee-for-service rates. We also record a provision for doubtful accounts (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to patients and copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage under one of our third-party payers.
Our service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts less the provision for bad debts for the three and nine months ended September 30, are summarized in the following table (in thousands):
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2012 2011 2012 2011 Commercial Insurance/Managed Care Capitation $ 111,963 $ 100,795 $ 340,750 $ 301,618 Medicare 33,492 28,840 103,899 87,539 Medicaid 5,663 4,759 16,250 14,734 Workers Compensation/Personal Injury 7,281 6,201 21,174 19,501 Other 8,629 7,985 25,200 22,640 Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts 167,027 148,579 # 507,273 446,032 Provision for bad debts (6,574 ) (5,558 ) (19,453 ) (16,260 ) Net service fee revenue $ 160,453 $ 143,021 $ 487,820 $ 429,772
The break-out of our service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, is calculated based upon global payments received from consolidated imaging centers from dates of service from each respective period illustrated.
Provision for Bad Debts
Although outcomes vary, our policy is to attempt to collect amounts due from patients, including co-payments and deductibles due from patients with insurance, at the time of service. We provide for an allowance against accounts receivable that could become uncollectible by establishing an allowance to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. We estimate this allowance based on the aging of our accounts receivable by each type of payer over an 18-month look-back period, and other relevant factors. A significant portion of our provision for bad debt relates to co-payments and deductibles owed to us by patients with insurance. There are various factors that can impact collection trends, such as changes in the economy, which in turn have an impact on the increased burden of co-payments and deductibles to be made by patients with insurance. These factors continuously change and can have an impact on collection trends and our estimation process.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 presentation. Additionally, we have adjusted the prior year's presentation as a result of the adoption of ASU 2011-07, Health Care Entities (Topic 954). In connection with this adjustment, we identified certain mechanical errors in our historical calculation of the provision for bad debts, resulting in the gross up of the provision for bad debts and revenues by $3.0 million and $9.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The error has been corrected in these financial statements and upon adoption of the new guidance, resulted in no impact to net service fee revenue.
Substantially all of our accounts receivable are due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as insurance companies and government-sponsored healthcare programs, or directly from patients. Services are generally provided pursuant to one-year contracts with healthcare providers. Receivables generally are collected within industry norms for third-party payors. We continuously monitor collections from our payors and maintain an allowance for bad debts based upon specific payor collection issues that we have identified and our historical experience.
Depreciation and Amortization of Long-Lived Assets
We depreciate our long-lived assets over their estimated economic useful lives with the exception of leasehold improvements where we use the shorter of the assets' useful lives or the lease term of the facility for which these assets are associated.
Deferred Tax Assets
We evaluate the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assess the valuation allowance periodically. If future taxable income or other factors are not consistent with our expectations, an adjustment to our allowance for net deferred tax assets may be required. For net deferred tax assets we consider estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies in determining whether our net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.
Valuation of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill at September 30, 2012 totaled $174.1 million. Goodwill is recorded as a result of business combinations. Management evaluates goodwill, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of a reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income or discounted cash flows approach and the market approach, which uses comparable market data. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. We tested goodwill for impairment on October 1, 2011. Based on our test, we noted no impairment related to goodwill as of October 1, 2011. However, if estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill. No indications of impairment were noted at September 30, 2012.
We evaluate our long-lived assets (property and equipment) and definite-lived intangibles for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset or in the case of assets we expect to sell, at fair value less costs to sell. No indicators of impairment were identified with respect to our long-lived assets as of September 30, 2012.
Recent Accounting Standards
In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) ("ASU 2011-04"), which contains amendments to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosures in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 explains how to measure fair value for financial reporting. The guidance does not require fair value measurements in addition to those already required or permitted by other Topics. This ASU was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
On January 1, 2012, we adopted ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220):
Presentation of Comprehensive Income," which updates existing guidance on comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Income, which was our previous presentation. It requires companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two statement approach which we have adopted, the first statement presents total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that presents total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income and the total of comprehensive income. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any effect on our financial condition or results of operations, though it did change our financial statement presentation.
On January 1, 2012, we adopted ASU 2011-07, "Health Care Entities (Topic 954):
Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities," which requires health care entities to present the provision for doubtful accounts relating to patient service revenue as a deduction from patient service revenue in the statement of operations rather than as an operating expense. Additional disclosures relating to sources of patient revenue and the allowance for doubtful accounts related to patient accounts receivable are also required. Such additional disclosures are included in Note 1. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although it did change our financial statement presentation.
On January 1, 2012, we adopted ASU 2011-08, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment", simplifying how a company is required to test goodwill for impairment. Companies will now have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary.
Recent Developments and Facility Acquisitions
On October 10, 2012 we completed the refinancing of our senior secured credit facilities for an aggregate of $451.25 million. The refinancing includes a new credit agreement providing for a $350 million senior secured term loan and a $101.25 million senior secured revolving credit facility. See Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further details regarding this debt refinancing.
On October 1, 2012 we acquired a 100% controlling interest in one of our non-consolidated joint venture imaging centers in which we previously held a 50% non-consolidated equity investment. As a result of this transaction, we began consolidating this imaging center, recording all of its assets and liabilities at their fair value at October 1, 2012.
On August 6, 2012 we formed a limited liability company with Barnabas Health, a New Jersey owner and operator of a large New Jersey hospital system, for the purpose of creating a New Jersey imaging network under our management. Our first endeavor was to establish a multi-modality imaging center located in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey, of which we own 49%. Our initial investment of approximately $1.8 million was recorded to investment in non-consolidated joint ventures.
On July 23, 2012, we completed our acquisition of a multi-modality imaging center, Orthopedic Imaging Center, LLC, located in Redlands, California, for cash consideration of $700,000. We have made a fair value determination of the . . .

Overcoming Poststructuralism
Rawls, Kratochwil and the Structure of Normative Reasoning in International Relations
|Publication Date
|August 2014
|Hardcover Ebook (EPUB) Ebook (PDF)
|Palgrave Macmillan
|International Political Theory
The theorisation of international relations has progressed considerably in recent years to the point that a dialogue between the concurrent disciplines of International Relations (IR), political theory and international law has started to emerge. There is, however, much work still to be done in establishing what could be termed an 'International Theory' – one which contains the potential to transcend arbitrary disciplinary and methodological boundaries (particularly where the subject matter of the respective disciplines – working out a conception of normative reason appropriate to application in considerations of international justice and human rights – is trans-disciplinary in nature).
This insightful contemporary critique considers the poststructuralist challenge to the very foundations and methodological commitments of traditional IR theory, as developed by R.B.J. Walker and Richard Ashley in the 1990s and beyond – as well as the various ways in which the discipline has sought to respond to such a pervasive attack on its most cherished beliefs. This study not only brings into question the central tenets of traditional IR theory, but also uses the political thought and theories of key thinkers including John Rawls, Friedrich Kratochwil and Peri Roberts to posit an account of normative reasoning which overcomes the challenges presented by a poststructuralist perspective.

Allow deleting from iPad and other mobile devices
Although premium customers have the ability to enter the player and thus, delete recordings manually from iPads and other devices, even free users should have the ability to delete recordings. I suggest decoupling the deletion capability from the player. It is an odd pairing to begin with, and one that inhibits site usability for free users.7 votes
So, would you recommend having a different area for deleting? Another benefit of being a Premium member is that you adjust your settings to auto delete files on a regular basis (every week, every other week, etc.).
Enable the recording start time to include minutes in the start time.
I would like to set the minutes of a start time. Something like starting the recording at 11:45am. Currently I must start the recording at 11:00 then skip forward to get to 11:45.7 votes

text: Tower of London Guards Spot Thief, Watch Helplessly ...as he stole keys ... from an unlocked box By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Nov 12, 2012 1:43 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (16) (Newser) – A comedy of errors, out of one of the British capital's most famed landmarks: A thief scaled the front gate and an inner wall of the Tower of London last Tuesday, but once he climbed into the sentry box, his work was already done for him. A metal box containing a set of keys had apparently been left unlocked. Better still, guards spotted the thief, but they are not permitted to leave their posts to chase anyone down. They radioed for help, but no one came and the thief escaped. The keys open drawbridges, a restaurant, and a conference room, and the Tower had to spend thousands to replace the locks, the Independent reports. Officials acknowledge security procedures "were not carried out to the expected standard," but say the Crown Jewels were never at risk; police are investigating.

Rep. Duncan Hunter said Friday that the Navy should consider building fewer littoral combat ships and use the savings to construct amphibious warships that could support the operations of the Marine Corps.
"There is a shortage of amphibious ships; this is one of the most glaring gaps in the Navy," said Hunter, an East County Republican who served in the Marines.
The Pentagon plans to build 55 LCS to improve its ability to rapidly perform a variety of missions in shallow coastal waters. The first 12 of those ships are scheduled to be stationed in San Diego, and two — Freedom and Independence — are already here.
The Navy has 28 amphibious warships. Hunter says the Navy and Marines agree that there should be at least 33, and that the Marines want a total of 38.
"Maybe the Navy doesn't need an equal number of each class of LCS. Maybe it needs fewer (Freedom-class ships) and more (Independence-class) ships, or the other way around. Or maybe it needs fewer LCS overall," he said. "The savings could be used on amphibious ships. The Marines had to procure a ferry while operating in Darwin, Australia. We need an honest analysis from the Navy."
The LCS program has faced cost overruns and structural and operational problems. The independent Congressional Research Service said last month that, despite claims by the Navy, the LCS is not truly a multimission ship, like a Burke-class destroyer.
Lt. Cmdr. Chris Servello, a Navy spokesman, said the service stands behind its 30-year shipbuilding plans, which call for 55 LCS. "We remain confident that we are on a path to success and that the program will provide our Navy with the warfighting capabilities that it needs," he said.
Hunter, who has been a critic of the program, said the Freedom-class ship appears to be a great platform for special operations, and that the Independence class appears to be good at minesweeping and other types of missions. But he expressed doubt that 55 ships are needed.

I'm already a Junior Member and haven't introduced myself yet. I'm just a regular guy who is slightly bike-obsessed. I don't race and I'm too old for BMX but I do most other kinds of riding: Touring, supported and self-contained; Mountain Biking on a hardtail; Commuting; and just general riding around. I live for the Tour de France and cannot talk about anything else in July. I'm president of my local bike club. And I'm shy about sharing too much personal detail on the web.
Let's see, I started riding seriously during the 10 speed craze of the 70s. I got into the sport again when I quit smoking about 10 years ago. I have a little knowledge to share and a lot to learn.
NOW...the question of the hour is: How do I change the description under my name from "Junior Member" to something custom and cool?

On the left, GPS satellites circle the planet. At right, a depiction of the North Star (Polaris) above the North Pole.
A sextant allows you to measure exact angles of celestial objects like the North Star. Two mirrors inside the telescope enable you to turn a calibrated knob that moves one of the mirrors until the celestial object appears to touch the horizon. A gauge connected to the knob then gives you the exact latitude.
The Prime Meridian is the anchor point for determining longitude. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the local time on the Prime Meridian. By calculating the difference in hours between your time and London's, then multiplying that number by 15 degrees, you'll get an approximate longitude.
A chronometer is used on ships to exactly measure longitude based on Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC.
During the course of a year, Earth's slightly changing axis rotation across the seasons creates variations in the apparent length of a day. The UTC approximates the mean solar day, which averages out all those variations. So observing the Sun can produce a gap with UTC time of up to 16.5 hourly minutes, or 4 degrees of longitude. The graph above gives you the amount of adjustment needed for a more accurate measurement.
Time zones start at the Prime Meridian and end at the International Date Line.

To learn how to use a handheld GPS unit, skip to Page 2.
With the introduction of GPS technology for public use in the 1990s, navigators added a powerful tool to their arsenal. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, which takes advantage of more than two dozen satellites managed by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS units on the ground pick up the satellite signals from space, then triangulate a location to within a few meters of accuracy. With the coordinates provided, you can look up your position on a map or simply use the onboard features of your GPS unit to take you to your destination.
In order to understand the numbers in GPS mapping, it helps to step back for a moment and appreciate the evolution of navigation systems. Latitude and longitude coordinates have been used by travelers for centuries to pinpoint where they stood on the planet. In fact, long before Columbus set off on his famous voyage, mariners from Polynesia sailing to Africa were already more or less able to deduce their horizontal position on Earth. They basically estimated the angle between the horizon and either the North Star or Southern Cross, depending on which side of the Equator they were sailing.
Including their perspective from the boat, these three locations created a triangle. (See graphic in the right column.) And the angle they measured told them how far to the north or south of the Equator they were. Measured in degrees, this angle translates into a latitude between 0 (at the Equator) and 90 degrees (at either pole).
Even longitude can be figured out nowadays without a GPS unit. Of course, you need either a radio that gets the BBC News, or a telephone/internet connection which can give you the time in the U.K., or a chronometer. While latitude is gauged by a simple measurement, lines of longitude are a function to time, as you'll see in a minute (so to speak).
Determining Latitude
If you look up at the North Star (also known as Polaris), your viewing angle from the continental United States would be between 30 and 50 degrees. You can estimate your exact latitude by going outside on a clearn night and pointing one arm at the horizon( i.e. straight ahead) the other at Polaris.
In 1731, the sextant was invented to allow mariners to measure latitudes more precisely than previous devices (or using their arms).. Like a compass, no batteries or electronics are required. So this is an important backup tool to bring along on an ocean voyage, Some sextants measure an angle in degrees.(See photo on the right.) However, a common unit of measurement used by survey instruments and some sextants is the mil. A slope conversion chart allows you to translate mils into degrees, so you may need to keep that handy as well.
Lines of latitude are also known as parallels. As already mentioned, the parallel at the Equator is 0 degrees. The latitude at both poles is 90 degrees. Above the Equator lies the northern hemisphere, so parallels here are identified with the designation North. Below the Equator lies the southern hemisphere, so parallels there are designated South.
Determining Longitude
Unlike latitudes, identifying your vertical position on Earth presents a greater challenge, since the planet is constantly turning. So while latitudes are measured as angles, longitude must be measured in units of time. To calculate a longitude, we must work with the 24-hour day and an agreed-upon starting point for counting the hours and minutes and seconds away from that point. Lines of longitude are known as meridians. And the agreed-upon starting point is known as the Prime Meridian.
There are 24 designated meridians encircling the planet, each separated by 15 degrees. Why 15 degrees, you ask? The interval of 15 degrees represents the amount of movement made by the Sun in one hour. Do the math and you'll find that 24 meridians times 15 degrees equals 360 degrees of longitude.
Like the Equator at the center of the earth, the Prime Meridian is an imaginary line that runs all the way around the planet and runs down through the United Kingdom, the western coast of Europe and western Africa. It's designation is 0 degrees of longitude. The Prime Meridian is a purely arbitrary designation, established by Great Britain at its planetary observatory in Greenwich in the late 19th century. The time along the Prime Meridian was traditionally known as Greenwich Mean Time, abbreviated GMT.
Turn a globe around eastward, toward Asia, and you'll see 12 eastern lines of longitude, each separated by one hour, or 15 degrees. Turn the globe towards the United States and you find 12 lines of western longitude. The two sets of 12 combine for 24 hours and converge half away around the world, at 180 degrees of longitude, along the International Date Line. The Date Line runs across the Pacific Ocean, close to New Zealand and the islands of Fiji, Somoa and Tonga. Together, the Prime Meridian and International Date Line also separate the western hemisphere from the eastern hemisphere. As a result, longitude coordinates are designated as either west or east.
Nowadays, Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC, has taken the place of GMT as the starting point for determining longitude. UTC is based on another standard known as International Atomic Time (TAI), which calibrates our 24-hour clock much more precisely than solar time. (Since the Earth's angular rotation causes the Sun's path to vary somewhat, there's really no such thing as an exact 24-hour day.)
To find out their longitude, ships began using a clock called a chronometer in 1761. The chronometer is built with precision gears to keep accurate time at sea. Traditionally set to the GMT, chronometers nowadays follow the UTC (although GMT is only a fraction of one second off UTC). To calculate your longitude anywhere on earth, you would also need to know two things: the current time at the Prime Meridian, as well as the local time.
At sea, local time generally means gauging time using the reference point of the Sun reaching its zenith at noon. Once you estimate that, you calculate the difference between it (i.e. local time) and either the time on your chronometer or a BBC broadcast of the time on a radio (which both represent UTC). Finally, you multiply the difference by 15 degrees per hour. For example, if you were sailing west of London, and the local time is 12:00 (noon), while the chronometer/UTC time if 16:00 (4 p.m.), the difference of 4 hours X 15 degrees per hour would give you a longitude of 60 degrees west.
As straightforward as all that sounds, there's one little wrinkle to consider here. UTC approximates what's called mean solar time, which is a mathematical average of a solar day. As we all know, in the physical world, a solar day varies according to the Earth's rotation and the seasons. So your high noon on any given day may be out of sync with UTC by up to 16 minutes. So the measurement you take at sea (or wherever you are) is known as "apparent solar time".
To line up with UTC for more accurate measuring, navigators turn to the equation of time in order to factor in the necessary adjustment needed to nail down the exact time difference. (See graph at right.) If, for example, the date is January 15th, noontime, according to the equation, the Sun will be lagging 15 minutes behind the noon of the UTC. For this reason, you'll want to add 3 degrees, 45 minutes of longitude to compensate for that margin of error. Using the previous example above, 60 + 3 equals 63 degrees, plus 45 minutes west.
Here's another complication: the 60 minutes of an hour are not the same as the 60 minutes that make up one degree. Instead, 4 minutes on a clock translate to one degree (or 60 minutes) of longitude. And a half hour equals 7 degrees 30 minutes, not 30 degrees.
Computing latitude and longitude without any instruments
To make domestic timekeeping easier, time zones were instituted in the 19th century, eliminating the problem of every town and village scattered around the planet following the solar time directly over their heads. With time zones, it's relatively easy to identify the line of longitude that runs through a location, so long as you have access to a local clock. For example, for New York state, just subtract the current time there from the time in the U.K.and you'll get a difference of five hours. (Note: UTC doesn't observe Daylight Savings Time.) Now you can multiply the five-hour time zone difference between London and New York by 15 degrees to get 75 degrees of longitude. So cities in New England, the Mid-Atlantic states and Florida will lie between 70 and 80 degrees of longitude west. Manhattan resides almost exactly at 74 degrees west.
Incidentally, west and south coordinates are often expressed as negative numbers, instead of mentioning cardinal directions. You'll also find that decimals are commonly used in place of minutes and/or seconds. For example -143.98 is a western longitude, while - 40.77 is either a southern latitude or a western longitude. If a number is higher than 90 degrees, it will always be a longitude, since latitude never extends beyond 90 degrees.
Let's say you're on a long flight abroad and happen to crash in a storm. Washing up on an uncharted island, you can estimate your latitude by measuring the angle between the North Star (or Southern Cross, if you're in the southern hemisperhe) and the horizon. You can estimate your longitude if you can determine both local time and the time in the U.K. For the latter, you would need a radio that can pick up the live broadcast of the BBC World Service. The news show airs around the planet on public radio stations, so it's not as hard as you think. Just remember to listen carefully for the standard when the announcer gives the time. It should be UTC, but GMT is also acceptable. (Another standard in the U.K. is BST, or British Summer Time, which is the same as Daylight Savings Time in the United States.)
In order to figure out your local time on a deserted island, consider building a makeshift sundial. Start by placing a stick straight up in the sand, watching the direction its shadow moves in. You'll know its high noon when the shadow cast by the stick disappears completely. At this point, tip the stick towards due North (or due South in the southern hemisphere). You can determine North with your compass, the North Star or by other means, as explained in the Navigation section of this guide.
Now begin setting up a clockface. The stick or whatever else you use to cast the shadow is called a gnomon. In the northern hemisphere, the gnomon must be pointed north to make it parallel to the Earth's north-south axis. The same rule applies if you're closer to the South Pole. If you point the gnomon towards the Southern Cross, it will parallel to the Earth's axis.
Mark the top of the shadow as 12 o'clock and watch where the shadow turns. Your "clockface" will be semi-circle. (See photos on the right.) Hours 1 to 6 p.m. will be plotted on the right side, with 6 pointed due East at 90 degrees. Hours 11 to 6 a.m. will run down the left. (Needless to say, you can't keep track of time between sunset and sunrise using a sundial.) Always read the bottom edge of the shadow for the time. If you don't have a watch or timer to help you set up the position for the hours, you'll have to use trial and error until the hours are proportionally set up. Notice in the photos, the space between numbers is uneven - tighter around the noon hour, with increasing space as you head out towards the 6. Such is the modus operandi of a solar clock.
Of course, determining latitude and longitude is only as useful as your knowledge of geography. Any trip on a plane or ocean-going vessel should be preceded by careful study of your travel perimeter, perhaps even memorizing major latitude-longitude coordinates for different countries and populated island chains. In-flight magazines usually include a map of your theatre of travel with the flight path charted across it. Based on the time the plane crashed, and the total travel time between departure and arrival points, you can deduce your approximate location. And when it's time to escape the island on a raft, if it comes to that, you'll also now know in which direction to paddle.
