Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley
I was reading Kevin Seifert's NFC North blog earlier today when I noticed that Lions wide receiver Roy Williams claimed that he and Calvin Johnson are the third-best receiving duo in the league. Williams was humble enough to rank Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne first. And he put Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh in second place.
I'm wondering how you guys would break down the duos in the NFL East? It's pretty obvious that Terrell Owens is the best wide receiver in the division, but his sidekick Patrick Crayton still has a lot to prove.
If the Redskins were thrilled with Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El as their starters, they probably wouldn't have drafted two receivers in the second round. But the Redskins look positively loaded at receiver next to the Eagles, who might begin the season without starters Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown. At this point, rookie DeSean Jackson and Hank Baskett are the starters.
I think it comes down to T.O.-Crayton vs. Plaxico Burress and Amani Toomer (with Domenik Hixon nipping at his heels). T.O. is more explosive than Burress, but not by much. Toomer has a lot more experience than Crayton, and has played in a lot of big playoff games.
I think you have to choose T.O. and Crayton because they're more explosive than Burress and Toomer. The Giants won the Super Bowl, but quarterback Eli Manning will be the first to tell you that his offense didn't hit on enough big plays during the regular season.
Now, I'm anxious to see what you guys think.

Congress, Bush Give Dalai Lama Gold Medal
In Focus
The Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists, received the Congressional Gold Medal for his work with peace and human rights in a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda. President Bush presented the medal at a congressional ceremony.
The honor brought protests from China, which considers the exiled monk a Tibetan separatist.
Of those protests, President Bush said, "I have consistently told the Chinese that religious freedom is in their nation's interest. I've also told them that I think it's in their interest to meet with the Dalai Lama."
At the ceremony, the Dalai Lama also responded to the criticism, saying that he does not see autonomy for Tibet as a stepping-stone toward eventual independence.
The Congressional Gold Medal is the highest civilian award bestowed by American lawmakers.

Everything is fried. Nit a healthy choice on the menu. Only thing local caught (Newport OR) is still deep fried. I left and felt like I spend good money for bad food. The waitresses were very good
My husband & I had the Scallops Dinner sauté with butter & mushroom, fresh veggie (grilled) with some awesome spices. Super delicious...only one thing not that good was the rice :(
Like previous reviewers i agree the food us horrible. Just a bunch if packaged frozen crap. This is the owners fault. The waitress was nice and the service was good.
Breakfasts are goog, you can switch and excande items, which I always like. I had the vegie omelet and it tasted well.
Clam chowder was delicious. Sautéed mushrooms were awesome good. Waitstaff was really sweet. Liked it here, a lot.
The chowder was barely edible and the grilled oysters were not. Was really looking forward to fresh seafood so was VERY disappointed in this place.
Breakfast is good! Had the smothered egg skins :) a LOT of food
A total tourist trap with average food, keep on driving if you are looking for something special
Great breakfast place quick service superbly cooked!
The wait wasn't amazing, but the clam chowder was warm and delicious.
Amazing! Food done right and great service
The fish and chips combo was amazing. Fresh and crisp.
Real good service and real good food!
Clam strips were ok but chowder was pretty bad.

"Oh say does that Star - Spangled Banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?"
Our national anthem, penned by Francis Scott Key, beautifully summarizes our national heritage. The "land of the free" -- that is what has always set the United States apart from the rest of the world. Our nation was founded by strong individuals who had experienced repression of their God- given rights -- and they were determined to form a government that would respect and guard man's most precious heritage -- each person's individual freedom -- especially religious freedom! (it is listed first in the Bill of Rights for a reason!)
Freedom -- it sounds self-evident. However, it is clear that our modern populace does not grasp what "individual freedom" really consists of. And there is little wonder for this ignorance -- our media -- at the prompting of our "social engineers" have deliberately warped people's perception of what it means to be free. By their insidious degradation, they have subtly misled people -- mainly through the avenue of their emotions -- to accept and embrace incredible horrors - in the name of "freedom"! To consent to "pro-death" (under the guise of "choice") -- and to actually demonize pro-life! To embrace "alternative lifestyles" (under the misnomer "tolerance"), and veritably to oppose (reject tolerance for) the divinely-instituted foundation of society of one man and one woman united for life to raise and educate their children! To allow the usurpation of genuine parental rights, and give government officials the power to dictate an abortion for a minor -- while the parents are not even to be notified!!
(And this is only a sampling!)
While these false misleading "freedoms" are paraded and touted about, genuine freedoms are trampled and despised by the same crowd. God -- given rights, such as the right to life (opposed by abortion and euthanasia); liberty (opposed by ACLU lawsuits to prohibit Christianity from being displayed); and the pursuit of happiness (try counseling same-sex oriented people, who are seeking to go straight in California!) Also, freedom of conscience (doctors, nurses, and anyone who understands abortion as a grave act of violence, should never be compelled to take part, or approve of such a sordid act in any way!) The Obama-snare tramples this right! The rights of parents to raise and educate their children according to their beliefs (grossly violated by our educational system with sex promotion/sex orientation "therapy," and the secular-humanistic curriculums). Our beloved freedom of speech (which is in the cross-hairs through "hate-speech" laws -- which actually incite hate for Christians!). Finally, and of greatest value, our freedom of religion, which acknowledges people's right to live their religion, in the public square, and in their private lives; guarantees the unrestrained proclamation of their beliefs; and even guarantees individuals the right to change their religion, if they so desire! And again, this is only a sampling of abused freedoms!
So, what does genuine freedom mean? Does it signify that you may do whatever you want?
Then why do we have courts, prisons, or even laws? Obviously, that is not its meaning -- for that would lead to a total breakdown of society, utter chaos, and unheard of depravity! Rather, and these are not my thoughts -- they echo a great moral teacher of our time: FREEDOM IS THE ABILITY (liberty) TO DO WHAT YOU OUGHT. So, it is not permission to act immorally, on the contrary, our precious freedom is to be embraced to better mankind -- and it demands moral restraint! For example: with free speech, we have the right to speak out against immoral practices -- that is what finally led to the abolition of slavery in our country. That is a proper understanding and use of freedom.
Now, where do we go from here? Our healing must begin by turning to our Creator -- Who is Eternal Wisdom. We ask first of all His forgiveness -- then His healing and help - and we must ask in faith. In total faith, we will trust in the guide that He established, and in whom He invested His authority -- His Church! "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the jaws of hell will not prevail against it. I give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven ... ... (Mt. 16:18) "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go teach the nations all I have commanded .... I am with you all days, even to the end of the world." (Mt. 28:18-20)
"He who hears you, hears Me." (Lk. 10:16) Here is the beacon to guide us aright. The path is rocky and narrow, therefore, we must stay close to Christ through prayer and obedience to that authority that He instituted for our own good. There we will discover His truths, and also feed on the "bread of life" to find the strength to apply them in our lives! Then, as we amend our own lives, we will find healing for our families - which will then spread to our culture itself. It is no small undertaking, but "all things are possible to him that believes." (Mk. 9:22) May God bless America!
McCook, Nebraska

Quote of the Day
"As many of you probably know, I'm a Democrat. And as you may have seen, I've also been a fan of Bernie Sanders. Much of what he stood for and helped bring to the forefront in this primary are things I too have fought for. ... But having been through many bruising primaries in my life, I'm also a realist. From where I sit, the math is clear. Hillary will likely win, and she will be our nominee. But that doesn't mean Bernie didn't also win. He won in a myriad of ways, none more so than energizing the Democratic base in a way no one expected. Young people in particular have become so passionate about this election. Because they recognize the historic importance at stake is nothing less than the very soul of our nation. So I'm asking Democrats out there to take a pledge, along with me: #Vote Blue No Matter Who."

Remembering Prince IX
"I can't say that we went on to be pals. But we did record a lot at Paisley Park, and he became comfortable enough to grace us with his presence, not bejeweled and not dressed up. He'd be wearing maybe his jammies and sweat pants or maybe a pear of jeans and sneakers. He could sort of just hang out. He may have been a little more normal than he would've liked people to know. That's the treasure that we got, to be able to sit in the big atrium where you're taking a break and Prince shuffles by in his slippers and makes some popcorn in the microwave. My sister's a disc jockey, and he would pass by and say, 'Tell your sister hi for me.' People like to paint him as a reclusive this or that; I think he was genuinely truly, truly shy. But one thing says a lot about him: I was there making a solo record a few years later, and I got a message that said that my friend had just died. I was truly rattled, and the next time I went back into the studio, he had filled it up with balloons. Now I'm gonna cry."
-- Paul Westerberg in Rolling Stone.

Rockies 9, Giants 4
DENVER (AP)—No team needs regular boosts of confidence more than the Colorado Rockies. They got one from an unexpected place Tuesday night—the bottom of their young and inexperienced lineup.
Dustan Mohr tripled and homered, Matt Holliday hit his first home run of the season and the bottom five spots in Colorado's batting order had nine hits to lift the Rockies to a 9-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants.
"We were patient, got pitches to hit and put good swings on them," Mohr said. "Guys at the bottom are good hitters, too."
Mohr homered immediately after Holliday's solo shot off Noah Lowry (1-5) in the second for Colorado's first back-to-back home runs of the season.
An inning later, No. 7 hitter Todd Greene put the Rockies ahead 5-0 with a two-run shot. No. 8 hitter Garrett Atkins went 2-for-4 with an RBI and even pitcher Joe Kennedy (2-4) had a hit, as the bottom of the Colorado order collected six RBIs.
Nobody needed a good game worse than Holliday, a .290 hitter with 14 homers last year who was benched recently after an 0-for-12 stint.
"I knew I was better than what I showed the first month," Holliday said. "Confidence was an issue and I had to remind myself that I was here for a reason."
Kennedy walked three batters during San Francisco's four-run fourth inning that made the score 6-4. But he made it through the inning and pitched the fifth. He wanted to go back out for the sixth, but manager Clint Hurdle turned it over to Colorado's maligned bullpen, which held the Giants scoreless the rest of the way.
"He said he wanted one more inning," Hurdle said. "I didn't have the heart to ask him, was it a zero or a four. I just thought that was enough."
Blaine Neal, who opened the season with the Red Sox and was picked up off waivers last week, pitched the ninth inning to finish off one of the best efforts for the Rockies relievers so far in this difficult season. Colorado improved to just 11-25.
Like Neal, Byung-Hyun Kim, Jose Acevedo and Jay Witasick each threw scoreless innings to keep Hurdle from having to test out his new closer, Brian Fuentes, in a save situation. Fuentes is taking over for Chin-hui Tsao, who has all three of Colorado's saves this season, but is on the disabled list and in California this week having his injured shoulder examined.
Mohr followed his homer with an RBI triple in the fourth to give Colorado a 7-4 lead. It was another good game for the part-time right-fielder, who improved his average to .214—this coming six days after he hit the tying home run in the ninth inning against Atlanta in a game the Rockies won 6-5.
"It was important" for Mohr, Hurdle said. "He wants to be involved, he wants to carry his load, just like Holliday does down there, and just like Atkins does down there."
Kennedy returned after missing a start because of an injured foot and got his first win since April 16. He pitched five innings, allowed eight hits, four runs and four walks.
Lowry lasted just 3 2-3 innings and gave up 10 hits and seven runs. His only win this season came in Denver in a 13-6 decision over the Rockies on April 15.
Leadoff hitter Clint Barmes, who came into the game leading the majors with a .386 average, increased it to .387 by going 2-for-5 with an RBI.
Lance Niekro had three hits and two RBIs for the Giants. Ray Durham had three hits.
San Francisco's best chance to get back in the game came with the score 7-4 in the sixth inning, but the momentum was spoiled when umpire Laz Diaz called Michael Tucker out, saying he'd been hit by a batted ball. Replays appeared to show the ball missed Tucker. Tucker, manager Felipe Alou and first base coach Luis Pujols all argued and Pujols was ejected.
"I don't know what he told him, because he said it in Spanish and I don't understand," Alou said jokingly. "He has been ejected a couple of times. I was going to go get ejected, but then he got ejected before I did, then I went to another umpire."
The Giants still had runners on first and third with one out, but Kim retired Pedro Feliz and Moises Alou to escape the inning. The Giants stranded 14 runners in the game and lost their third straight.
"We didn't play well," Felipe Alou said. "There were some questionable plays that we didn't make. Anytime we throw a lot of pitches, the defense gets
Todd Helton played in his 1,171st game with the Rockies, breaking the record previously held by Larry Walker. … Niekro had his first career triple. … Lowry hasn't held a team under four earned runs since April 20, in a 2-1 loss to Arizona.

Jets set to visit with QBs Smith, Manuel
By Rich Cimini
A couple of highly regarded quarterbacks are coming to town to meet with the Jets.
Florida State's
EJ Manuel
will arrive Tuesday for an overnight visit, a source confirmed. West Virginia's
Geno Smith
Āis scheduled to visit Wednesday and Thursday, according to the NFL Network. Smith is widely considered the top quarterback in the draft, and Manuel is considered by some as the next-best prospect.
The Jets came away impressed with Smith after meeting with him last month at his pro day. Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and senior personnel executive Terry Bradway made the trip to Morgantown. This time, the entire organization will get a chance to sit down with Smith.
It would be an upset if the Jets choose a quarterback with the ninth overall pick. They also hold the 39th pick.
: Former Lions RG
Stephen Peterman
completed a free-agent visit Monday, but the two sides couldn't agree to a deal, according to a source. The Jets made a contract offer, the source said.
The Jets already have signed one guard (
Willie Colon
) and they're looking for another to create more competition with holdovers
Vladimir Ducasse
Caleb Schlauderaff

Brandon Moore
is a free agent and unlikely to return.

Amarin: Prepping for FDA Approval Decision
TheStreet) -- An Amarin (AMRN) primer ahead of Thursday's expected FDA approval decision for the company's prescription fish-oil pill AMR101: What time will the FDA decision be announced?Impossible to say. We may hear in the middle of the day, like we did Friday with Onyx Pharmaceuticals (ONXX), or not until evening as with Vivus (VVUS - Get Report). If you're trading the Amarin approval decision, my best advice is to be ready for news any time after noon EDT. And don't forget that Amarin may decide to halt trading at some point Thursday ahead of the announcement. Is there a web site I can follow to read about the FDA decision in real time? The FDA updates its web site with new drug approvals but generally not in real time. Same with FDA's online press room. Amarin will issue a press release, of course, but I'll be shocked if the company is first out of the gate with the AMR101 news (unless the drug is rejected, which isn't likely.) Your best bet for instantaneous reporting of the AMR101 decision is Twitter. Log into StockTwits and follow the $AMRN feed. If/when there's real news on AMR101, you'll see it on StockTwits instantaneously. I have a pretty good track record of having a fast draw with FDA drug approval news, so you can follow me on Twitter as well at @adamfeuerstein. What's the chance that FDA will reject AMR101? Tiny. I'd give it single-digit odds, certainly no more than that. Investors expect AMR101's approval Thursday by a wide margin -- and rightly so. If FDA rejects AMR101, the outstanding issues are likely to be relatively easy to fix. Will FDA announce AMR101's New Chemical Entity (NCE) status simultaneously with approval? Not necessarily. FDA may not make the AMR101 NCE decision public until the Electronic Orange Book (EOB) is next updated, which means Aug. 10. Amarin has stated previously, however, that FDA may announce its approval decision and NCE status simultaneously. We'll know Thursday. AMR101? I thought Amarin changed the drug's name to Vascepa? If we believe the marketing web site leaked Friday, AMR101's new brand name will be Vascepa. Note that Amarin has also trademarked some other possible names, too, including Amracor and Civapri. I'll start referring to AMR101 as Vascepa. Arena Pharmaceuticals(ARNA - Get Report) and Vivus have both traded lower since their respective drug approvals. Is this what we can also expect from Amarin? The recent trading pattern for FDA drug approvals (see Arena, Vivus) has been a short-term price spike followed fairly quickly by significant selling/profit taking. With expectations for Vascepa approval so high already, what's preventing Amarin from acting just like Arena and Vivus did? Here's my prediction (which is probably not worth the electronic ink used to print it): Amarin shares trade up to $18-20 on approval [with NCE status still undisclosed] but then sell off as investors start wondering about Vascepa's launch. There's more upside in the stock -- and durable -- if approval and NCE status (five years' exclusivity) are granted Thursday, even more if Amarin announces a boffo partnership or takeout in conjunction with Vascepa's approval. [Maybe that Pfizer (PFE - Get Report) partnership/takeover rumor is true?!?!?]BEDMINSTER, NJ (

Consumer bureau begins new look at credit card rules
CFPB to re-examine 2009 CARD Act
By Fred O. Williams
Are credit card users still falling victim to deception or unfair practices that should be outlawed?
That's what the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will be looking into, starting now. The watchdog agency launched a call for comment last week as part of a study on the effects of the Credit CARD Act, which was signed in May 2009. Consumers, as well as card issuers and industry analysts, are invited to give their views.
The bureau "is seeking to understand how the credit card market is working in practice and how the CARD Act changes have affected consumer and credit card issuers," CFPB Director Richard Cordray said in a statement.
|Credit card issuers increased card rates before and right after the passage of the CARD Act, according to national average rates compiled by CreditCards.com.
A major provision of the law prohibited rate increases on existing balances for consumers with up-to-date payments. The law also restricted over-limit fees and late fees, as well as increases in card rates during the first year an account is open.
One of the questions the agency wants to explore is the cost and availability of credit. In the debate over the law, industry advocates argued that restrictions on card issuers would pull back their offerings, increasing costs for consumers.
The consumer bureau found in 2011 that the law had mostly halted rate hikes on existing accounts, while reducing late fees and over-limit fees.
Now the agency is looking at the effect of changes in pricing, marketing or other practices by card issuers; whether the cost and availability of credit has declined or riskier customers have been shed.
Rates rise on new card offers
During the debate leading up to the act's passage, industry officials predicted it would result in higher rates for everyone, and for new card offers, that has come true.
According to CreditCards.com's rate survey of 100 credit cards, minimum rates in new card offers posted by issuers rose from the 11.5 percent level during the year before passage of the CARD Act (whose full name is the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009.). They continued to rise during 2009, jumping about a percentage point to 14 percent in the weeks before the law took effect in 2010. Since then they rose gradually to the 15 percent neighborhood, where they have leveled off.
Supporters of the act point to a different set of rates: those actually paid by people carrying credit card balances. Federal Reserve figures on those rates show a decline since 2009. Banking groups attribute at least part of the decline to some consumers losing access to credit cards.

We use fixed time periods in the application. When the user adds a new period, it should be by default from 6:00 AM to 6:00 AM the next day.
Normally, it's 24 hours, but there is one issue : when the daylight saving change is performed, the length of that period changes. For example :
27 October 6:00 AM to 28 October 6:00 AM. In this period is performed change shift from CEST to CET time zone. Thus, this period contains 25 hours :
From 27 October 6:00 AM to 28 October 3:00 AM - there are 21 hours
at 3:00 am the time is shifted back by 1 hour, so there are 4 hours until 28 October 6:00 AM.
We encountered this issue and tried to write a unit test to prevent it from appearing again. The test passes successfully on our machines, but fails on the CI server ( it's in another time zone ).
The question is : how can we possible design our unit test independently from the machine's time zone ?
Currently, the calculation of hours span is calculated using Joda-Time:
if ((aStartDate == null) || (aEndDate == null)) {
return 0;
final DateTime startDate = new DateTime(aStartDate);
final DateTime endDate = new DateTime(aEndDate);
return Hours.hoursBetween(startDate, endDate).getHours();
Unit test that passes on our side but fails on CI server :
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(2012, Calendar.OCTOBER, 27, 6, 0);
startDate= calendar.getTime();
calendar.set(2012, Calendar.OCTOBER, 28, 6, 0);
endDate= calendar.getTime();
We tried to use time zones for calendar :
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT").getID()));
calendar.set(2012, Calendar.OCTOBER, 27, 6, 0, 0);
startDate= calendar.getTime();
calendar.set(2012, Calendar.OCTOBER, 28, 6, 0, 0);
endDate= calendar.getTime();
but in this case the result startDate is 27 October 9:00 CEST and endDate is 28 October 8:00 CET, so the test fails even on our side.
Thank you in advance.

" Nice hostel. Only stayed for one night. It's okay for short stays. I booked a mix dorm of 10 but as they didn't have any available, they put me in a girls' only ensuite dorm of 6 without any extra charge. My room was very good (enough space, plugs and bed light next to every bed). However, my friend's room (female ensuite dorm for 4), which was in another building down the street, wasn't as updated as mine and lacked plugs, bed lights, big mirror and it was too small. The bar is okay. "- Anónimo

I coudn't see far before so I decided to do Lasik. I got recomended to Dr. Khanna by my friend. The moment I entered his office I felt very confortable and knew I was in a right place. His staff is so lovely and helpful.
Dr. Khanna answered all of my questions before the surgery and through the whole process of my recovery. I had 20/20 vision the next day after my surgery! I am really happy I did this. The surgery itself was super comfortable, it was painless and took about 5-10 min. I was up driving and working the next day!
Dr.Khanna is an AMAZING doctor! He is very friendly, professional and experienced. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get Lasik! Thank you Dr.Khanna agian and staff at your eye institute!

Review of Los Angeles Lasik Eye Surgery Doctor
I looked at a lot of surgeons for my Lasik and considered the priciest ones I could find. I saved up the money for well over a year and looked for a good doctor that entire time. I had a specific surgeon in mind who had come recommended by several close acquaintances but when I went in for my consultation he had raised his price to $6800, completely non-negotiable. I looked around and was about to bite the bullet on that insane price when I found Dr. Khanna. His recommendations weren't from people I knew personally but everything I read about him was glowing.
Dr. Khanna's price was more reasonable and his credentials were excellent. I still didn't have enough saved up to pay his fee but when I explained that I had been saving for such a long time his office worked with me to find a fair price I could pay without saddling me with credit card debt. In gratitude I don't think I should say exactly what I paid but I am extremely confident that there is simply no way I would ever have found a better surgeon at a lower price.
I was not a great candidate for Lasik but my procedure went well anyway. My contact lens prescription was -6.25 with astigmatism in one eye and -6.75 in the other, which is near the upper limit of what can be corrected with Lasik. Also my cornea is slightly thinner than normal (which means there is less substance that can be reshaped) and my eyes are slightly dry. All of these things meant my surgery would be riskier than most. (I would have worried that this report was an attempt to scare me away from cheaper surgeons or talk me into add ons but they didn't try to up-sell me on anything and the other surgeon I consulted with said the exact same thing) Even with the added risks I trusted that Dr. Khanna could do it, and I am extremely glad I did.
It took a while but eventually my vision got to be better than it was with contacts. I had been warned that I had a high risk of seeing "halos", rings of light similar to those I saw without glasses, around bright lights after the procedure. These are common in people with light eyes (mine are blue) and high degrees of correction and for some people they last forever. For me it was much worse than most. I couldn't drive for the first few nights, even though daytime driving was fine the next day. This worried me for weeks but Dr. Khanna assured me it would get better. After a couple months they stopped being noticeable and one night I realized they were completely gone. Now it has been over a year and my vision is noticeably better than it was with contact in all light conditions and at all times of the day (I don't have to worry about my contact drying out after 10-12 hours like I used to.)
I highly recommend Dr. Khanna to all my friends who ask about Lasik. I am very grateful for how much the procedure has improved my life. It was well worth the year I spent saving up money to pay for it. Don't go with someone cheaper.
Los Angeles
Los Angeles Lasik Eye Surgery Lasik is the reshaping of the front clear part of the eye. This clear part is called the Cornea. It overlies the colored part of the eye termed Iris. The cornea is the strongest lens in the eye. Yes it is even stronger than the natural lens. Therefore if were to modulate the power of the Cornea we can achieve the elimination of rectory errors like - Nearsightedness, Farsightedness and even Astigmatism. There are different methods to bring about this calculated in change in the shape and power of the cornea. The options arise as to 1) how to obtain data 2) What type of laser beam is used 3) Flap or flap less delivery of laser
Data can be obtained by auto refractors and subjective manifest refraction. Auto refractors are computers which can generate information of the eye but cannot talk to lasers. The lasik doctor or his surrogate does better one or better two to obtain what number is best for your eyes.This method is employed in Allegretto, Nidek and Conventional Visx lasers. In more advanced method a wavefront machine obtains this data. It can communicate with the laser. Of course the lasik eye surgeon has a chance to review the information and make any subtle changes if necessary. Star S4 IR Visx laser has given good result with this technology .
Wavefront optimized method with a flying spot is employed by Allegretto Wavelight 500 Laser. Wavefront variable scan is the laser delivery method of Visx S4 Laser. Nike uses a scanning slit proprietary technology. We have access to all these FDA approved lasers.
Lasik Eye Surgery can even be performed after previous Radial Keratotomy. For safety Lasik Doctors may prefer variations of Lasik Eye Surgery like Lasek to achieve good results.

Background: Falls often result from failed responses to unexpected, externally applied perturbations. Whether performance-based, reaction-based, and/or adaptation-based assessment tools can predict future falls among community-dwelling older adults is unknown.
Purpose: This preliminary prospective study examined the relationship between older adults' future fall risk and their reactive responses and adaptations to repeated slips, and their functional status.
Methods: Thirteen community-dwelling adults (>64 years) were exposed initially to a session of repeated slips. About 30 months later, self-reported falls experience data were collected for the preceding year from these participants. Slip outcome (fall, loss of balance, or recovery), slip score (weighted sum of slip outcomes), Timed Up and Go scores, and future fall incidence were recorded.
Results: Four participants who reported at least 1 fall had significantly higher slip scores than the rest. In contrast, neither failed recovery on the first slip nor a higher TUG score predicted greater odds of future falls.
Conclusion: Community-dwelling older adults' adaptability to externally imposed perturbations may reveal their future fall risk.

Actually the numbering is not quite trinary; it's something a little more complicated than that, but I won't spoil the joy of figuring it out.
The book is awesome, just like the strip.
Breadpig Publishing were kind enough to send me a review copy of xkcd: volume 0, the first-ever collection of strips from Randall Munroe's fantastic, unrepentantly geeky webcomic XKCD: A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.
I've been a fan of XKCD since I happened upon his Help! I'm Trapped in a Universe Factory strip, and Randall was kind enough to write a fictionalized version of me into later toons. We got to meet last summer at a science fiction convention in Springfield, Mass, and hit it off like a house on fire.
So I was delighted to find myself holding an actual book -- cover price $18, portion of profits goes to building schools in Laos through the Room to Read charity -- and turning the pages. Randall once told me that he'd rejected earlier book offers because his older strips were only available at a very low resolution, and it seems like many of these were included on the basis that they're funny and interesting enough to overlook the lower-quality reproductions. The tool-tips -- hidden punchlines that show up if you hover your mouse over the XKCD strips -- are included as small-caps print tucked among the frames, and this is nearly as good as the screen experience.
The book is full of eastereggs; the pages appear to be numbered in ternary. There is a cryptographic puzzle hidden in the margins, along with many small, Sergio-Argones-like doodles and gags. More than anything, xkcd: volume 0 feels like it is a part of the XKCD continuum, a mix of blog, webcomic, doodle and tweet, handsomely presented and long overdue.
After years of speculation and wrangling over his remains, Kennewick Man turns out to be closely related to contemporary, local Native Americans after all.

Ordered mine sep 16th, and still waiting for it to get to the UK… Hope it's not lost in the mail, can't wait to get my hands on it!
Randall said that they got so many orders they're having trouble responding to everyone. I wouldn't worry, mine shipped only a couple days ago.
My love for this man's work is too great to let this pass — it's ArAgones.
Yeah, I would love this book… But as I said before, the shipping options to 'The Rest Of The World' are more than a little crappy.
$15 shipping to the UK, and 5-7 WEEKS!
$21 for the poor old Aussies.
I just got this last week. Haven't had a change to go through all the footnotes yet, just browsed through a few of the strips, but I love it, and the way he dealt with the tool-tips.
It's $9 to ship to Canada. Which isn't bad compared to some shipping rates I've seen from the US to here. Thinkgeek's shipping to Canada seems to start at about $25 for a single item and goes up from there.
"Actually the numbering is not quite trinary; it's something a little more complicated than that, but I won't spoil the joy of figuring it out."
Yeah, I've read the book a couple of times, and have been starting to untangle some of the stuff in it. I fear that it might become a full-time occupation: that Randall has embedded a mind virus to destroy us all. Or his black-hatted friend.
I was lucky enough to get one of the first three signed copies he gave to his family (through his grandmother, an old friend of my grandmother, and his father, an old friend of my mother). The book is wonderful and as much like the comic as a print edition could be. Not to mention breadpig is a great way to publish. Anyway, enough bragging about my good fortune, since I doubt anyone will believe it :)
Plus, who doesn't want comic strips about Cory Doctorow in a handy book in their very own home? It's probably the best comics compilation I've ever read, edging past some great Foxtrot books.
I bought this for my library's graphic novel collection (I'm a librarian). :)
well done!
Good choice! Libraries need a) more graphic novels, and b) more fun science.
I love XKCD, but I have to say that the book had some real issues.
Some comics were really low res. Someone told me that it was from losing the originals, but he could have at least cleaned up the text so it wasn't blurry (e.g page 11001).
The margins seemed just totally random for some pages (e.g. page 100100, 101100, 101101) with large amounts of whitespace in the middle and comics shoved to the top and bottom.
The font was *way* too big for some of the comics (e.g. page 111, 110011). To read them I have to hold the book waaaay back.
I feel like Randall just got tired of never getting this book done and decided to cut some corners. I hope there's a .1 release to fix the bugs.
I got mine a week ago. My fiance refuses to participate in the interpipes as she feels there's no substance to it. So when I got my copy I let her loose on it and she didn't put it down from front to back. Reminded me a lot of when I first started reading after seeing "Graduation". And then I had to read several hundred more, and then I had to re-read several dozen more. There are some that still do my head in. I like that.
Mine arrived the day of the official release party (coincidentally?) at 111 Mina in SF.
It's great so far. I wish I had more time to read it, but I'm too busy posting snarky comments on the internet.
I got mine a couple days ago and couldn't be more delighted! It's a perfect way to preserve Randal Munroe's legacy. My favorite comic is on pg. 1100.
