Useful info: Magic n Beauty of Nature
Where two oceans meet... But do not mix!
These two bodies of water were merging in the middle of The Gulf of Alaska and there was a foam developing only at their junction. It is a result of the melting glaciers being composed of fresh water and the ocean has a higher percentage of salt causing the two bodies of water to have different densities and therefore makes it more difficult to mix. Photograph by Kent Smith.Comments:
gnodnomus nylrem - That's how GOD creates everything possible.
damha lalib - This is miracle of ALLAH and ALLAH says in Quran 1400 years ago.
"He has let loosed the two seas (the salt water and the sweet) meeting together."
"Between them is a barrier which none of them can transgress."
"Then which of the Blessings(Signs) of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny?"
revod wehttam - Nothing to do with God you clowns. God doesn't even exist.
ihslam kelam - The ocean water has a higher percentage of salt. These caused the two bodies of water to have different densities. Because of the salinity and density differences, a thin wall was produced which does not allow the two different bodies of water to merge. This explains why the two different bodies of water did not mix. But given enough time, they will eventually mix together!
itawamhar ira iwd - "HE has made the two seas to flow freely (so that) they meet together. between them is a barrier which they cannot pass"
Quran Surah Al Rahman: 19-10
هللا دسأ يسافعلا - This is written in our quran

I don't know what you were speaking about earlier but I want to answer your question :) pardon if I sound obtuse in anyway.
Humans created science. It is in our nature. religion beats the curiosity out of most of us before we get the chance to develop it and only a few come out and make something the world can appreciate regardless of belief :/
Without science, you would probably be dead as you likely have no survival skills out side of the civilian world.
Birth rates would decrease
Higher risk of infant mortality
Higher risk of infection due to disease
Higher risk of famine
Higher risk of developing serious illness without vaccinations
Since science is in hospitals life saving operations wouldn't exist
Wars would be held without any inventions but our soldiers would die in higher rates
Just live for a year without it.
No... A week. Even if you tried it would be really difficult.
No cellphone
No television
No computer
No pen or pencil
No paper
No car
No bus
No bicycle
No train
No lights
No stove
No microwave
No A/C
No heating
No running water
No video games
No medicine
No vaccinations
Etc you get the drift.
Science is the evolution of curiosity. It's an idea that develops from an existing problem or solution that can be bettered. Like radio turning into iPod or a candle turning into a lantern, turning into a lightbulb, turning into a flash light. Those were inventions. And science was definitely involved.
Without it you wouldn't have even had the privilege to question it. Seeing as you were using an invention science created
It's not to brainwash you, it's incredibly beneficial to our way of life :)

from wikipedia Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge"[1]) is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.[2][3] In an older and closely related meaning, "science" also refers to a body of knowledge itself, of the type that can be rationally explained and reliably applied. A practitioner of science is known as a scientist.

Useful info: DIFFERENT USES FOR COLA
The main use for Cola is as a beverage, but there are other things it can be used for. Learning the other uses for Cola can save you money on purchasing several different products. For example, Cola can remove stains and rust on metal. That's now two products you don't have to buy.
*Removing Rust and Hard Water
Cola can remove rust from nails and from the bumper of your car. To remove rust on a small object, fill a plastic cup with Cola. Then add the rusted metal object. Leave it overnight and then wipe the rust off with an old rag. To remove rust from larger metal you will need a sheet of aluminum foil. Roll the aluminum foil up in to a ball and dip in the Cola so that it is covered on all sides with the liquid. Rub it in a circle over the rust. You may need to apply the Coke a few times and then rub, but it will work.It is also used in removing hard water from your bathroom tiles and toilet bowls.
*Stain Removal
Cola contains acid that can remove grease and blood stains from fabric. Fill your washing machine and add your normal amount
of laundry detergent. Then add one can of Cola. Place a load of laundry in the washing machine including the items with the
stains. When the wash cycle is over, your clothing will be stain
*As Medicine
Cola is often used to treat upset stomachs. You must first let the Cola sit out and become flat. If you are feeling nauseous you will want to sip the flat Cola every ten minutes or so until your stomach begins to feel better. If you have an upset stomach due to diarrhea, you can drink the Cola at a faster rate. Your stomach will be feeling better in no time.
*Removing Pests
If you have a problem with slugs or snails you can use Cola as both bait and poison. Pour the Cola in a small dish and watch
the sugar attract the slugs and snails. Once the pests get on the dish the acid will destroy them. Cola also works to remove
bugs from a car windshield. Just pour the Cola over the bugs on the windshield and wait 10 seconds. Use your windshield wipers and the bugs will easily come off.

Dropped your handset in the bath?? Is it drenched in unexpected downpour??
Don't panic -- just follow these steps
1. Firstly, retrieve your handset from the drink straight away. It will decrease the risk of damage.
2. Resist the urge to check if it still works or press any buttons, since putting pressure on the keys could shift liquid further into the device.
3. In all cases, the best thing to do is immediately pull out the battery, thus minimizing power to the device that may cause it to short circuit. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT..!!
4. Remove any peripherals and attachments on your phone, such as cases.
5. Extract the SIM card and any SD cards it carries, leaving ports or covers on your handset open to aid ventilation.
6. Dry off everything with a towel, including the exterior of your handset, being careful not to let any water drain into openings on the phone.
7. Even when everything's dry, it's very likely there's latent moisture within the device that you'll want to get out before turning it on. The most oft-reported fix for a sodden phone is to bury the handset in a bowl of dry rice. You can also use silica gel packs -- the kind used in shoe boxes -- to greater effect.
8. Place your phone in an airtight container and completely cover it with your choice of desiccant. Leave the container for 24-48 hours for the material to draw all the moisture out of your handset.
9. When you're confident it's dried out, replace the battery and try switching it on.

It's not as easy as you think.
It's important to know how and when to eat.

Useful info: EATING FRUIT~
It's not as easy as you think.
It's important to know how and when to eat.
It will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.
In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....
Eat fruit on an empty stomach or before meals! People complain, "Every time I eat watermelon I burp; when I eat apples, my stomach bloats up; when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc " This will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. Fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas, hence you will bloat!
Gray hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under eyes will NOT happen by taking fruit on an empty stomach.
There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon 🍋are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. Master the correct way of eating fruits, and you will have beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.
Drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.
Eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!
KIWI: A good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.
APPLE: Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.
STRAWBERRY: .. have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.
ORANGE : Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessening the risk of colon cancer.
WATERMELON: Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. A key source of lycopene the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.
GUAVA & PAPAYA: for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; good for your eyes.
Drinking Cold water after meals = Cancer!
It will solidify the oily stuff you have just consumed and slow down digestion... Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. This will turn into fats and lead to cancer. Better to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': Not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of pain in the jaw line. You may never have chest pain during a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are common symptoms. Sixty percent who have an attack while asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can awaken you.

Useful info: An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?" as he smiled smugly.
"Okay," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"
The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence,
thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea." To which
the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss
God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don't know shit?"
And then she went back to reading her book.

How to Immediately Get Back Your Stolen Car !
It is a fantastic idea for those who can't afford car insurance or Tracker System. I'm forwarding this to all my friends.
How to Get Back Your Stolen Car?
It takes only 2 minutes for a car thief to runaway with your car. No matter you have a trekker and auto-alarming devices fitted in your car.
The best safety for your car is a live and active Mobile Phone hidden in a safe place in your car:
1. Buy any low price mobile phone with longer standby time.
2. Install a mobile connection which has best network in the country.
3. Turn this mobile on complete SILENT mode (double check it should not vibrate while you turn it on SILENT mode).
4. Wrap it up slightly in a plastic sheet so that it should not get dirty and dusty during its hidden use.
5. Make sure it is perfectly responding by calling its number from another mobile phone.
6. Hide this mobile in a safe place in your car. And that's it…!!!
If your car is stolen, immediately inform your local Police Help Line 100. Give them phone number of the mobile hidden in your car. Police can easily track the location by calling that number. Chances are that you may get back your car within the shortest possible time.
And finally do not forget to charge this mobile at least twice a week and hide it back in your car in active position.
Please share this message with all your friends.
Good luck. If you get back your car this way, do remember me in your prayers!

It is said to be the "potato"!
TIP: Before planting rose cuttings, push the bottom end into a small potato, which keeps the cuttings moist as they develop roots. It sounds crazy, but apparently it works really well.

Scientific Reason behind Indian Punishment :

Scientific Reason behind Indian Punishment :
Remember the 'good' old Indian school punishments? Holding the earlobes with arms crossed over your chests, bending the knees and then sit and then stand and so on till the time Masterji is saying?
Ever thought why the traditional Indian school teachers would give this particular punishment? I believe even majority of the teachers who grant this punishment to their students do not know the reason behind it. This form of punishment has been in practice in our country since the Gurukul time and was given to the students who were weak in studies. That is a different question if now a days teachers grant this punishment for any mistake and not only for studies but originally it was meant for weak students only.
Talking about the logic behind this punishment, it is very interesting to know that this particular posture increases the blood flow in the memory cells in brain and synchronizes the right and left side of the brain to improve function and promote calmness, stimulates neural pathways via acupressure points in the earlobe, sharpens intelligence and also helps those with autism, asperger's syndrome, learning difficulties and behavioral problems.
Probably we have forgotten this ancient method of increasing memory power but the West is now using is very diligently and they are recommending this posture or exercise to treat many a diseases.

Your smile is one of your most important personal assets because it provides the most intimate insight into the full spectrum of emotion. A single smile can make amends, can lift a friend's spirits or arrest a future-lover's heart. But with the incredible power your smile gives you as a social being, comes the risk of self-consciousness and low self-esteem when you are unhappy with the quality of your teeth. Not all of us are born with perfectly white, even and symmetrical teeth, says the Arlington cosmetic dentist. But this doesn't need to stop you from flashing your pearly whites with pride and confidence! Arlington cosmetic dentistry offers a whole host of treatments and restorative procedures designed to improve symmetry, even out flaws and brighten the luster of your teeth. And the difference is incredible. Patients leave the office of Arlington cosmetic dentists with a brand new lease on life because all the self-consciousness they formerly felt has been replaced with a confident, beautiful and healthy-looking smile.
So, what are the various procedures and treatments available for the cracked, worn or dulled smile?
Treatments Offered by Arlington Cosmetic Dentistry: Dental Bonding
It only takes a single cracked, chipped or discolored tooth to distract your audience from your smile. But for many patients, aesthetic problems go a little further than having a single marred tooth! Whether one of your teeth has become accidentally chipped, or you were born with large gaps between all of your teeth, Arlington cosmetic dentistry professionals can make use of bonding to improve their shape, color and symmetry. The procedure itself involves the application of a durable resin material (the same color as dental enamel) to the surface of your teeth. It is subsequently hardened with a special light, thus 'bonding' the material in place. This enables the Arlington cosmetic dentist to:
- Even out the appearance of jagged, chipped or cracked teeth
- Reduce large spaces between teeth
- Improve the overall cosmetic appearance of teeth
- Protect worn and sensitive teeth from cavities
Treatments Offered by Arlington Cosmetic Dentistry: Porcelain Caps/Crowns
While bonding is generally used to improve the appearance and health of teeth that have minor flaws in them, such as cracks, chips or fractures, Arlington cosmetic dentists will make use of porcelain caps or crowns to restore teeth that have sustained substantial damage or decay. When a large amount of the tooth structure needs to be removed due to decay, or has already been removed as a result of accidental trauma, a ceramic crown offers a fantastic aesthetic and functional solution. For people born with teeth that just aren't red-carpet worthy (Tom Cruise is an excellent example), crowns can be placed by Arlington cosmetic dentistry professionals to provide a whole smile make-over!
Treatments Offered by Arlington Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening or bleaching is perhaps the simplest and least expensive of all the procedures offered by the Arlington cosmetic dentist. You don't need to be a smoker or drink an excessive amount of coffee, red wine or dark sodas to have pearly whites that aren't, well, that pearly white! Some people are born with darker, more yellow enamel. A teeth whitening treatment can be performed by the Arlington cosmetic dentist to brighten and lift years off the quality of your smile!

Welcome to Dhammanusari
The Dhammanusari Group was formed by a group of devotees of the Sri Lankaramaya Buddhist Temple in 2008 under the leadership of the temple's resident monk, Bhante K. Rathanasara, an experienced and well respected Teacher.
The primary objective of Dhammanusari, or Followers of the Dhamma, is to propagate Buddhism through the learning and practising of the teachings of the Buddha.
What Am "I"?
I think it is true to say most people do not know what they are, and do not even want to know. They identify themselves with the body, with their actions, feelings and ideas. "I am" is a reality to them and it is because of this self-identification that dukkha is experienced in one form or another.
Let us consider the question "What am I?" At a superficial level of understanding we appear to be a permanent entity, but this is due to the apparent compactness of our being, and it is not until we begin to closely observe ourselves during meditation practice that we see there are two distinct things involved in our being. They are the mind (nama) and the body (rupa). We observe that the mind and body are interdependent, one cannot exist without the other. In a further process of analysis we discover that the body, or material form, consists of four elements which are called the Great Elements (mahabhuta), that is, solidity or extension (pathavi), fluidity or cohesion (apo), heat (tejo) and air or motion (vayo).
What is Buddhism?
Buddhism as a religion does not separate itself from the other religions of the world. It does not claim monopoly over truth, dogmatically maintaining that it alone is the truth and everything else is false.
From a Buddhist point of view, different religions are only different forms or just one universal pursuit of mankind. It is the pursuit of mental perfection. Wherever human beings are found, religion is practiced in some form or other. Religion is in the psychology of human beings just as music is. Just as in different cultures music takes different forms, in different cultures religion too takes different forms; these differences are only superficial, like a difference in style of dress.

In a graph model I have a vertex called
timeCategory with childs
month-vertices and
day-vertices. I am able to identify a year with the
edge-label with
IS_YEAR, a month with
IS_MONTH, etc.
I want to do a query that returns all vertices of a given year range similarly to the following code:
GremlinPipeline yearPipe = new GremlinPipeline(timeCategory).out("IS_YEAR").property("year")
.filter(new PipeFunction<Integer, Boolean>() {
public Boolean compute(Integer i)
return i < 2013 && i >= 2011;
for(Object v : yearPipe) {
//v is an Integer, but i need the vertex
... this works great for printing all property-values (the years as integers), but what I need is a list of all VERTICES which year-properties are between a given range.
My second question is about making a intersection from values in pipes.
For example: I have three pipes, a yearpipe, a monthpipe, and daypipe, and the pipes containg vertices that identifies a year, month, or day.
Is it possible to get all outgoing vertices to one special date...
Semi-Code: allVertices2012-01-01 = yearpipe.out() AND monthpipe.out() AND daypipe.out
sure, i can do some compares in some for-each-loops, but i wanted to know if there is a (simple) gremlin - way to do it better.

Cody Dembinski, 24, has been charged with misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide and careless driving. Police say five people were riding in the cart on a city street in Gretna when Dembinski made a right turn and 31-year-old Patrick Jurgensen fell off. "The vehicle shifted weight, and the party on the back fell off the back and struck his head on the concrete," the police told KETV. Because a golf cart is considered a motor vehicle, the rules of the road apply. Dembinski will be in court Aug. 20, and he faces up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Remember Me
Long time friends, supporters, and even a few of the band's musical heroes have gladly donated their time and artistry to support Vann and the Leftover family. Those scheduled to appear over the four nights in Colorado include Bela Fleck, Todd Park Mohr, Sam Bush, Michael Kang and Billy Nershi of the String Cheese Incident, Bill Payne and Paul Barrere of Little Feat, Pete "Dr. Banjo" Wernick, Sally Van Meter, and Tony Furtado, among others.
"Like so many other things we've done in Leftover Salmon we look at how we can have the most fun in the situations we've been placed in at the time," says the band's singer and guitarist Vince Herman. While the evenings are sure to be filled with the spontaneity, surprises, and freewheeling energy audiences have come to expect over the band's decade of playing, Herman can tell fans what not to expect. "The one thing I have figured out is it ain't the Last Waltz," he says, and adds with a laugh, "it won't be like an awards ceremony."
The Leftover Salmon family and organization realized a quick response was necessary when discussions of a benefit became more concrete. Says Herman, "A lot of people just called up and said they wanted to come. We've just been deliriously happy about the response we've been getting, kind of without even asking." Confirms Little Feat's Bill Payne, "I said whatever you want me and Paul Barrere to do, we'll be there." For Bela Fleck, who played on the band's 1999 release, The Nashville Sessions it was important to lend support. "This is a really tough situation and you say 'what can I do?' Well [appearing] is something I can do. An opportunity for us to get together and show support for Mark is really positive."
In addition to the out of town guests, many of Colorado's favorite home grown artists will feel comfortable playing with the band who has opened their stage so many times before. Banjo player and multi-instrumentalist Tony Furtado sees the events as "an obvious need for us all to get together and help out a good friend." Dobro player Sally Van Meter shares, "A huge amount of this really comes down to family. [Leftover Salmon] is so loved."
While the impetus for the events is a sad one, fans and the artists alike are looking forward to four nights of music that will celebrate the spirit of Mark Vann and Leftover Salmon's unique and unparalleled brand of bluegrass fusion. "It means a whole lot to be going through what I'm going through and to have all this kind of support and people pulling for me," says Vann. "I'm really humbled and appreciative of these guys coming out to do this. They're people I've admired my entire musical life and they're coming to play for me."
Tickets for these events are available at Leftover Salmon Tickets!
As the music world converges to lend support to Mark Vann, the east coast has put together a Jammin' For Salmon benefit on Sunday Nov 18th, at B.B. King Blues Club.
The all-star collaboration will include Mike Gordon of Phish, John Medeski of MMW, EL BUHO (Zambiland Orchestra, Jazz Studio Musician), Scott Murawski (Max Creek), Aaron Johnston (Jazz Is Dead, Tony Furtado, Commotion), DJ Logic, The Motet, members of Deep Banana Blackout, members of Railroad Earth, Josh Dodes Band, Scrappy Hamilton and very special guests to be annonced. For more information go to Mark Vann Benefit.
Tickets for the Jam For Salmon are available at JamBaseTickets.

Between the years 1993 and 2003, more than 140,000 men underwent radical prostatectomy (RP), thus making RP one of the most common treatment options for localized prostate cancer in the United States.
Localized prostate cancer treated by RP is one of the more challenging procedures performed by urologic surgeons. Studies suggest a definite learning curve in performing this procedure with optimal results noted after performing >500 RPs. But is surgical volume everything? How do hospital volumes of RP weigh in? Could fellowship training in RP reduce the critical volume needed to reach an 'experienced' level?
As we continue to glean data as to how to optimize outcomes after RP, we must not only consider surgeon and hospital volumes of RP, but also consider training of the individual surgeon.
One out of every six men in the US will be diagnosed with prostate cancer making it the second most commonly diagnosed cancer among American males over the age of 45 years [1]. The most common treatment for localized prostate cancer remains radical prostatectomy (RP) [2]. Over the past 30 years, RP has significantly transformed from what Dr. Hugh Hampton Young first described in 1904. Early prostatectomies were fraught with significant morbidity and mortality, until Walsh and others reported on the anatomic, nerve sparing RP in 1982. The anatomic, nerve sparing RP was associated with less blood loss and reduced incidence of erectile dysfunction [3]. Several reports documented more favorable outcomes in physicians who had performed more than 500 RPs. For example, in Catalona et al's report of 1,870 men undergoing RP, postoperative complications were less likely with increasing surgeon experience [4].
Prostatectomy is a challenging radical surgery performed in appropriately selected men for prostate cancer. Though cancer control is the key for this procedure, we must strive for favorable post operative quality of life outcomes (e.g., urinary continence, bowel continence, and erectile function). More so than with other genitourinary malignancies, these quality of life outcomes are extremely important since some of these tumors are non-life threatening.
Previous research has linked outcomes from RP to hospital volume, surgeon volume and the level of surgical training. Many studies suggest that these volume-outcome relationships exist because of the perceived favorable trends associated with volumes and outcomes (i.e., outcomes must inevitably improve as surgeon's and hospital's volume increase) [5]. Prompted by such reports, this manuscript aims to review literature related to training and volume as it relates to outcomes of RP.
Hospital volume
Numerous studies have evaluated the relationship between the number of RPs performed at hospitals to the clinical outcomes [3,4]. These studies have varied significantly in the hospital volumes. Currently, there is no universally accepted definition for what is considered to be a high or low volume center. Table 1 shows the distribution of some of these studies that assessed RP outcomes based on hospital volume. Results from these retrospective studies are mixed in regards to outcomes and have used various endpoints to critically evaluate differences in these centers. Outcomes measured have included everything from length of stay to mortality. Whereas mortality associated with RP should not be the sole endpoint to monitor since the overall reported mortality rate for the procedure is < 1%, other endpoints such as oncologic outcomes and quality of life related outcomes have significant implications in patient care [6].
Table 1. Studies of effect of hospital and surgeon volume on outcomes
In one study, high volume hospitals were associated with reduction in length of stay and in-hospital mortality [7]. However, Begg and others noted no significant difference in mortality between low and high volume hospitals. This study did demonstrate a higher risk of post-operative urinary complications at low volume hospitals [8]. Similarly, Hu and colleagues showed that high volume hospitals reported fewer urethral anastomatic strictures while low volume centers had an increased stricture rate. In regards to long-term incontinence, despite the significant difference in stricture rates, there was no statistically significant difference between low volume and high volume centers [9]. Furthermore, in a large study from England comprised of over 18,000 men who underwent RPs, there was only a slight difference in the rate of post-operative complications between low volume and high volume centers, 2.3% vs. 1.2%, respectively [10].
Confounding many of these studies comparing high and low volume centers is the fact that high volume centers tend to see more high surgical risk patients and high risk prostate cancer patients in regards to grade and stage of the disease being treated compared to the low volume centers [11]. Many hospitals have implemented clinical care pathways as a means to reduce hospital stay, post-operative complication, and overall cost. After implementing the clinical care pathway, Chang and others shorten length of stay from 3 days to 2 days without compromising the quality of care [12]. In addition, regionalization of RP from low volume to high volume hospitals can also decrease the length of stay post RP [1]. Ellison and colleagues sought to identify a relationship between hospital RP volume and oncologic outcomes. They reported that in low volume hospitals, 25% more of the patients deemed to have low risk prostate cancer (i.e., low grade and low stage disease) require some form of post operative adjuvant therapy [11]. It must be noted that these studies that report on volumes are heterogeneous with varied methodology in data analysis.
Volume-outcome studies done by general surgery or gynecology such as pyloromyotomy, pancreatectomy, esophagectomy, pneumonectomy, liver resection, and pelvic exenteration have shown compelling results that support the theory that high volume hospitals offer better quality of care than low volume hospitals [13,14]. One must remember that the high volume hospitals may have access to state of the art equipment and facilities as well as more staff with specialty training. With this in mind, healthcare providers may be more likely to refer their patients to these better equipped, high volume hospitals expecting superior outcomes.
Surgeon volume
Several reports documented more favorable outcomes in surgeons who have performed more than 500 RPs. For example, Catalona reported his results of 1,870 men undergoing RP and found postoperative complications were less likely with increasing surgeon experience [4]. Recently, two large studies reported patient outcomes as related to surgeon's volumes [15,16]. Neither study reported an increase in the relative risk of surgery related death associated with surgeon volume. Taking into consideration patient age and comorbidities, an increase risk of post-operative complications was noted among surgeons who performed fewer than 40 RP per year. Even more startling was a significantly higher transfusion rate when surgeons performed less than 15 RP per year. Furthermore, surgeons who performed more than 15 RP per year had shorter hospital length of stay [15,16].
Regarding quality of life outcomes and oncologic outcomes, association with surgeon volumes is varied. In a study by Begg and others, high volume surgeons, defined as those who performed a minimum of 20 procedures during the five-year study, had fewer late urinary complications. However, there was no difference in the rate of positive surgical margins between the surgeons [8]. Similarly, Chun and others reported the association of surgical margins in 2,402 men with localized prostate cancer treated with RP by 11 highly trained surgeons. High volume surgeons were noted to have a statistically significant lower rate of positive surgical margin (18.9% vs. 22.6%). However, when assessed in a multivariate analysis with low and intermediate volume surgeons, the association between a reduction of positive surgical margins in high volume surgeons diminished [15], thus possibly illustrating the importance of another factor (e.g., surgical training) in this complex procedure.
In a study by Bianco and colleagues, 10,737 patients who underwent RP by 999 surgeons were analyzed. In this study, expected outcomes in major post-operative complications, late urinary complications and long-term incontinence were compared with the observed outcomes of these three domains. For all three outcomes, the variation among surgeons in the rate of complications was significantly greater than that expected by chance after adjustment of covariates. Furthermore, surgeons with better results with regard to one outcome were likely to have better results with regard to the other two outcome measures (Figures 1 &2). The authors concluded that outcomes might very well be related to surgical technique and not strictly surgical volume [16]. In a sense, they are implying that practice does not necessarily make perfect.
Figure 1. Histograms juxtapose observed and expected number of surgeons' postoperative complications. More outliers on right side of histogram in observed vs. expected plot highlight providers achieving poor outcomes. On the other hand, outliers toward left in observed vs. expected plots indicate surgeons achieving more favorable outcomes (From Bianco, J Urol, 2005, copyright permission).
Figure 2. Histograms juxtapose observed and expected number of surgeons' long-term incontinence. More outliers on right side of histogram in observed vs. expected plot highlight providers achieving poor outcomes. On the contrary, outliers toward left in observed vs. expected plots indicate surgeons achieving more favorable outcomes (From Bianco, J Urol, 2005, copyright permission).
But if a surgeon's volume is truly felt to be the major culprit in suboptimal outcomes, perhaps a minimum volume threshold (MVT) should be required for difficult cases. Three hundred and seven urologists were queried as to their thoughts on a MVT for such procedures as radical nephrectomy, radical cystectomy and radical prostatectomy. The majority of the surgeons were in favor of MVTs. Interestingly enough, the most complex surgeries were given the lowest MVT based on their frequency. For example, radical cystectomy with continent urinary diversion had the lowest MVT (1–5/yr), while RP, considered to be the third most complex surgery, was given the highest MVT (>20/yr) [17]. With this said, volume thresholds based on frequency of procedure instead of complexity of procedure may not correlate with the best outcomes for patients due to the fact that increasing volume does not guarantee improvements in outcome since low and high volume surgeons can produce both good and poor outcomes.
Fellowship Training
Everything that has been discussed so far hinges on the premise that practice makes perfect (or increase volume leads to superior outcomes). Previous reports from experienced surgeons reporting on pathologic outcomes, and overall complication rates hinted that as many as 200–500 RPs must be performed before a surgeon reaches the expert portion of the learning curve [4,18,19]. Though attention should be on volumes, perhaps there are other factors that can influence outcomes, specifically additional training (i.e., urologic oncology fellowship).
The ultimate goal of RP is cancer control with little to no morbidity. The specialized training obtained during a urologic oncology fellowship affords surgeons an opportunity to study in depth the art and science of prostate cancer treatment and thus achieve cancer control rates and surgical outcomes similar to those of more experienced surgeons. In a recent study, two recently graduated urologic oncologists reported the outcomes of their first 66 RP. Operative time, estimated blood loss, transfusion rates, and post-operative complications [20] were similar to those previously reported by more experienced surgeons [21,22]. Furthermore, postoperative complications were similar in nature and frequency to those previously documented in the literature. More important, the pathologic outcomes (i.e., the ability to correctly perform this oncologic procedure) were similar to those previously reported by more experienced surgeons. On the basis of the study reported here, it is believed that the patient volume and practice necessary to achieve the outcomes seen by more experienced surgeons may be obtained during a urologic oncology fellowship training program.
Recently, Klein and others reported the results of a collaborative study which hypothesized that surgeon's experience is more important to ensuring favorable outcomes than certain preoperative patient risk factors (serum PSA, clinical stage, and Gleason score). Their results showed a statistically significant association between biochemical recurrence and surgeon's experience such that patients receiving treatment from a surgeon with 10 versus 250 prior RPs would have an absolute risk difference of 6.6%, 12.0% and 9.7% for low, intermediate, and high risk prostate cancer. Moreover, the data illustrated that the most experienced surgeons had an almost zero percent 5-year biochemical relapse rate for low risk prostate cancer patients. Such a substantial cancer control rate suggests that the primary cause for recurrence would most likely be poor surgical technique [23].
The notion of better outcomes observed in fellowship trained practitioners is not unique to the treatment of prostate cancer. In fact, the gynecological and general surgical literature have extensively reported on this concept [24-28]. Thus, being fellowship trained in an environment where an experienced surgeon serves as first assistant to the trainee in a manner committed to perfect his/her skills, might be one way to reduce the surgeon volume or MVT needed to obtain acceptable outcomes with RP.
A look in the literature regarding the learning curve for prostatectomies clearly illustrates that surgical volume, hospital volume, and surgical training are integral to successful outcomes. Some have even defined a MVT of 200–500 cases that must be performed before one achieves the expertise level. The importance of dedicated oncologic fellowship training would seemingly become an integral, if not necessary ingredient in developing experienced prostatectomists, capable of performing RPs with maximal outcomes.
Although there is increasing evidence that high volume hospitals and high volume surgeons produce more favorable outcomes, caution is still advised when interpreting the overall results. Most short-term outcomes such as hospital length of stay and post operative complications are reduced in settings of a high volume center/surgeon; however, the real concern lies within the long-term outcomes, i.e., cancer control, continence and potency. Even in experienced hands, achieving successful outcomes in all three of these domains is extremely difficult. However, initiatives are in the pipeline to link procedural reimbursements with the performance (or outcomes) associated with the surgeons. This is more impetus for surgeons to critically review their outcomes to improve their performance and maximize patient benefit.
RP: radical prostatectomy; MVT: minimum volume threshold.

Well life is going to get a bit more interesting around here.
Wouldn't it be funny if the movie were successful enough to spawn a TV series based on it? I wouldn't turn up my nose at it. I love Ron Moore, but I love space opera on TV more.
The nuBSG fans have to accept that our show is more or less done. We may get some drips and drabs here and there, but nothing much more of meaning.
Yeah they had their shot with
, they blew it, time to move onto other things.
The oldBSG fans really, honestly, need to accept that nothing new will ever come from the old show.
Mmmm, I wonder about that. Abrams' brought back the spirit of TOS pretty effectively, without catering only to old fans. This BSG movie could do the same. Since I have no very strong opinions about what oldBSG should or shouldn't be, I'll be happy as long as it doesn't suck in the general sense.
I've thought for a while now that there's a market - in movies and on cable TV - for a kick-ass, adrenaline-pumped military space series that doesn't indulge in excessive naval-gazing and to the extent that it has any political leanings at all, leans rightwards. So if this new movie adopts that approach, they could have a surprising hit on their hands and maybe even a revived franchise.
Ron Moore's BSG was very good, but, at times was rather depressing, so, I wouldn't want to see another go at BSG so dark. If this does come off (and especially if it
takes off) I'd like to see it a bit lighter in tone than Ron Moore's.
If it's based on the original, as it appears they want to do, that would likely mean no Skin Jobs and maybe even the Lizard Aliens and Lucifer type models
Thing is, BSG is about the last remnants of humanity fleeing for their lives after their homeworlds are obliterated. That's not exactly a cheerful topic. It's supposed to be dark and depressing. And while nuBSG at times got a bit too dreary, it felt much more natural than "Our homes have just been destroyed and our loved ones slaughtered. Let's hit the Space Casino."
As a summer blockbuster, I don't expect Singer's BSG to be dark and depressing. But I hope they avoid being that ridiculous. Likely we'll start off with the attack on the Colonies being one massive CG battle sequence. Battlestars getting blown up good, orbital bombardments, Cylons saying "By your command." All that sexy stuff.

It depends, what model specifically do you have?
I got an 'Omega View 45D' as my first 4x5, and by first I mean less than a year ago. And I think I paid more in shipping than for the actual camera, still not much for either though.
To echo what Tom said, the standard blocks can be overtightened and can break, and once they're broken they're hard to glue. I noticed it after using it for a few weeks, but couldn't tell (let alone prove) whether it had come like that or if I'd done it so I couldn't return it.
I've seen someone selling blocks on fleabay for only $10, but it's $60 shipping from the US so not really worth it.
Other than that, it's not a bad camera. Simple lock/release tilt/shift/swing/rise etc, only gearing is fine-focus. Bellows are allegedly non-interchangeable, but there's only 9 screws to undo and a bit of glue to break, and you can interchange with other Toyo/Omega bellows (I had a 45G bag-bellows on mine until I got my 45G). Rails are also non-extendable but easily swapped to extendable ones.
Flash forward to a month ago, and I picked up Polyglot's old Toyo View 45G.
Metal standard clamps, no more cracking. Geared rise and shift, plus fine-focus, simple release tilt/swing. Only 1 fault I've found with it so far is that the gear-rail for the geared-shift is loose, I'll attack it with a screwdriver one day.
In short, it's a much better camera, more solid, but man it's heavier because of it. So much so that I'm almost considering keeping the 45D, at least until I get my travelwide, then I'll on-sell it.
I'm not sure if Omega View ever rebadged the Toyo View 45E/G/Gii/GX/C/CX, or if they just stuck with the 45D. Certainly the 45D was the baby, the prototype, whatever you want to call it, and they certainly fixed a lot of its problems in the 45E and later models. But it's still not a bad camera for learning, they're certainly cheap, and fine as long as you know its limitations (just don't overtighten those standard-clamps).

On indecomposable modules over directed algebras
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Generalizing a result of Bongartz we show that any nonsimple indecomposable module over a finite-dimensional -algebra is an extension of an indecomposable and a simple module provided is a field with more than two elements and is representation directed. Our proof is based on fibre sums over simple modules and some known classification results on socle projective modules over peak algebras. In case the global dimension of is at most 2 our methods also yield a description of the dimension vectors of the indecomposable -modules by the roots of the associated quadratic form.
