Events Calendar
Men's Hockey vs. St. Lawrence
Saturday, November 24, 2012 @ 7:00 PM
With five NCAA Division I national titles (tied for the most among Eastern schools) and 29 Beanpot championships, Boston University has long established itself as one of the top collegiate hockey programs in the country. The 2011-12 team finished with 23 wins and earned a spot in the NCAA West Regional, the 32nd NCAA appearance all-time.
In 2012-13, senior captain Wade Megan and junior Matt Nieto will lead the Terriers offensively. Megan scored a team-high 20 goals last season, while Nieto posted 42 points, the most of any returner. Senior defenseman Ryan Ruikka will serve as assistant captain and junior defenseman Garret Noonan was named a Hockey East All-Star as a sophomore. They will join a talented group of incoming freshmen, including five newcomers who were selected in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
Legendary coach Jack Parker enters his 40th season as head coach with an overall record of 876-456-113 for a .645 winning percentage. Parker, who has made a record 24 appearances in the NCAA tournament as a head coach, will look to lead the Terriers to their eighth Hockey East title.

|Another Perspective
|Written by Lori Pankonin
Jesus Christ was born . . .
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
I don't know that I'll sing that familiar carol again without picturing the adorable angels, donkeys and sheep who bellowed out the message with all they had.
It was the church Christmas program and it warmed my heart in great measure to feel the enthusiasm of the bright-eyed three, four and five year olds. The week prior, I asked them to sing as loud as possible the next time through because we weren't getting much sound.
And LOUD they were. I loved their response but made an attempt to remind them to use their loud "singing" voices rather than "shouting" voices. Well some were already hooked on shouting the message. The louder they shouted, the louder others sang. They were so excited and what more could you ask of them?
Turns out that one of the loudest little sheep got sick and couldn't be there, but her brother shouted out for both of them with great gusto.
I really don't know how anyone could have listened and watched the little choir without having a boost of happy Christmas spirit. Two of the sweet angels chose not to sing at all. They stood up on cue with each song but uttered not a word. Singing in front of a crowd just wasn't in their plan.
They were certainly eager and proud to wave to their grandparents, however. It takes all personalities to make for an interesting world.
I wonder if there was some magic in the angel costumes as everyone was so quiet and patient throughout the whole program. Maybe the halos shouldn't be packed away too deep so we can see if the angelic magic works in Sunday school as well.
Yes, another year has quickly passed since that special night in Bethlehem. There's reason to restage the birth and celebrate the whole miracle again and again.
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born!!

Educating the public about preserving and maintaining our national forests has long been one of the goals of the U.S. Forest Service, resulting in programs like Smokey Bear and Woodsy Owl that have become well-known as part of our culture.
"Only you can prevent forest fires" and "Give a hoot, don't pollute" are vital parts of the Forest Service's educational programs for children and adults. But employees at the Rifle Ranger District want to expand the public's knowledge of the forest, and what the Forest Service does, locally and nationwide.
Last fall, district employees started discussing ways to improve their outreach to the community and get more people involved in natural resources. From those internal conversations came the West Side Future Professionals program, a way to merge "sharing the story" of the Rifle Ranger District and the White River National Forest with educating local high school students about natural resources.
"There has been decreasing interest in natural resources over the last couple of decades," said Jason Pooler, visitor information and services specialist at the Rifle Ranger District. "There's just not as much interest in general as there was back in the '70s."
In addition, as an increasing number of current Forest Service employees reach retirement age, letting young people know about the varied employment opportunities is important to maintaining the future health of our national forests.
"We need to let the public know what we do to protect natural resources, and about multi-use principles. It's not just about hiking and camping, there's protecting watersheds, ATV use, timber management, and energy development," Pooler said. "We think it's important to expose a new generation to the great outdoors, and to the role of the government and the Forest Service. Natural resources involves all sorts of different people working together in all sorts of industries."
He came up with the idea to present a natural resources program as part of the science curriculum to teachers and administrators at Rifle High School last year.
On Oct. 3, more than 150 biology students boarded buses for an all-day field trip along West Mamm Creek Road, as part of a unit on ecology. The property owner, a rangeland permittee, agreed to the use of the land for the day's events. The Rifle Ranger District provided the materials for the day, and the school covered the cost of transportation.
Groups of students rotated through six different presentations about various aspects of natural resources, including air quality, wildlife, conservation, rangeland management, timber and oil and natural gas development.
"What we do is very multi-faceted, we wear a lot of hats," Pooler said. "We're trying to expose them to a variety of ideas, a wide spectrum of opportunities."
Eventually, he explained, they hope to develop the program into a mentoring program for students interested in natural resources, helping them find scholarships, volunteering opportunities, experience and training that will, in turn, help them find jobs in natural resource-related industries.
"We would like to do more," Pooler added. "As soon as we got done, we started talking about ways to do more, about what worked and what didn't, and ways to tie the program in to our volunteering opportunities."

AMERCO is the holding company for U-Haul International.
Stock: UHAL on NASDAQ
Since 1945, U-Haul has been serving do-it-yourself movers and their households. Like many other successful ventures, the concept for U-Haul was generated out of need. After World War II, there existed the widespread need for do-it-yourself moving equipment that would be available on a one-way, nationwide basis. U-Haul co-founders L.S. "Sam" Shoen and his wife, Anna Mary Carty Shoen, recognized that need and acted upon it. Their visionary approach spread the cost of ownership among many users, facilitating the mobility of the populations of the U.S. and Canada. The covered wagon of the pioneers morphed into orange U-Haul trailers. In the process, an industry was born.
Discharged from the Navy in the summer of 1945, 29-year-old Sam and Anna Mary tried to rent a utility trailer to move their possessions from Los Angeles to Portland, Ore. It couldn't be done. They had to take only what they could fit in the car.
"No one, at that time, seemed ready or willing to serve that need."
"Small luggage-type passenger automobile trailers were being rented from 'rental lots' in Los Angeles. Each lot had from 20 to 40 trailers which were rented locally for approximately $2 per day," recalled Shoen in his book "You and Me," "I recognized that here was an item with considerable utility value which had not been exploited at all in the Northwest or in the San Francisco-Oakland area. I was intrigued with the business potential of this idea, especially from the standpoint of one-way rentals."
The Shoens reasoned that many other families had a need similar to theirs: the short-term availability of a trailer that could be rented "here" and left "there." No one, at that time, seemed ready or willing to serve that need.
With a 1937 Ford and $5,000 in savings, Sam, Anna Mary and their young son moved from Los Angeles to Portland, Ore. During the drive, they came up with the name and formulated the outline of what was to become the U-Haul Trailer Rental System.
The Shoens launched U-Haul in the summer of 1945. The first trailers were bought from welding shops or second hand from private owners. Within two weeks of leaving Los Angeles, the first U-Haul trailer was parked on a service station lot and being offered for rent. By the end of 1945, 30 4' x 7' open trailers were on service station lots in Portland, Vancouver and Seattle, Washington.
An identity was established. First, the trailers were painted bright orange. Secondly, the name U-Haul Co. was established. Third, trailers were imaged on the sides and back with a sales message – "U-Haul Co.," "Rental Trailers," "$2.00 Per Day" – always advertising themselves whether on the road or on display. Lastly, trailer rentals were merchandised from service station outlets. A commission structure for dealers was established, and much of the early recruitment was done by a customer who was offered a discount on their trailer rental for establishing a U-Haul rental agent (now called U-Haul dealers) at their destination.
"By the end of 1949, it was possible to rent a trailer one way from city to city throughout most of the United States and by 1955 throughout most of Canada."
The company was not an overnight success. The purchased trailers—generally a frame and tongue built on the running gear of scrapped automobiles, what Sam would later call "junkers"—broke down with painful frequency, often costing more to repair than could be covered by rental fees. That winter, to cut expenses "to the bone," Sam and Anna Mary moved in with her folks on the family ranch. They were broke, but believed they had a business. Based on his appearance of success, Sam obtained credit from a local lumber yard and was able to obtain war-surplus steel from a Navy yard.
By the end of 1949, it was possible to rent a trailer one way from city to city throughout most of the United States and by 1955 throughout most of Canada. And the rest, as they say, is history.
In 1952, a unique financing plan – the Fleet Owner Program – was created to provide capital for growth during the 1950s. Under this plan, individuals or groups of individuals could purchase a fleet of 30 or more U-Haul Co. trailers. The trailer owner would then contract with ARCOA, Inc. for the operation of their trailer fleet in the U-Haul Trailer Rental System and shared the income from the rental of the trailers. By the end of 1959, the U-Haul trailer fleet consisted of 42,600 trailers.
Today, U-Haul customers' patronage has enabled the Company to maintain the largest rental fleet in the do-it-yourself moving industry which includes trucks, trailers and towing devices. U-Haul also offers self-storage throughout North America. The Company provides industry leading moving and storage boxes and an extended line of packing supplies to protect customer possessions. U-Haul is the consumer's number one choice as the largest installer of permanent trailer hitches in the automotive aftermarket. The Company supplies alternative-fuel for vehicles and backyard grills as one of the nation's largest retailers of propane.
How did U-Haul move America? Eyewitness accounts detail the company's first 25 years and the creation of the do-it-yourself moving industry
"A Noble Function" is a heartfelt and nostalgic look into one of America's most celebrated and nation-changing companies: U-Haul. Prior to U-Haul, moving across the country was an option available only to those who could afford moving services … or fathers set out ahead of the family. This was where Sam and Anna Mary Shoen found themselves: trying to rent a trailer in San Diego to get back to Portland with their new family. They couldn't find one, but on the drive back to Portland they came up with the idea for U-Haul.
"A Noble Function" is the product of more than a year of research and more than 30 interviews conducted with key people who knew Sam and Anna Mary or who were innovators in the industry. The book focuses on the how and why of the company's meteoric rise through the 50s and 60s, and how U-Haul became the leader in the do-it-yourself moving industry. And remarkably, the Shoens did it without ever accruing any debt, while establishing a nationwide network of dealers and loyal customers with their acute attention to customer service.
"A Noble Function" is available online.

Last Friday morning a 12-year-old boy named Boris was fatally hit by a truck turning left on Marnixstraat, not far from where Lauren got caught in the tram rails.
Reports tell us that Boris had stepped off his bike (on the right side of the road, on the bike lane), waiting to cross the junction (to his left), when the truck driver, who was turning left from the opposite side, overlooked him and ran him over. Boris died shortly after.
There are very few fatal incidents in Amsterdam, so this particular one immediately grabbed the public's attention. Not just that, but more importantly the ire of the people living on that street and the schools close by, people who also knew Boris.
This long street and its intersections have always been considered 'tricky', 'hazardous' and often outright dangerous, specially for children and the elderly, as they accommodate so many modes of traffic in a very dense residential neighborhood, without real traffic calming measures.
Here trams, city buses, taxis, cars, mopeds, bicycles, pedestrians all have to share a limited road grid (which is often the case throughout Amsterdam), but the Marnixstraat (and square, where the accident happened) setup has been controversial for years. Actually, one Neighborhood Action Committee member (interviewed by the local TV station AT5) will tell you that this street has caused problems for decades and that they have been trying to have the city change this dangerous situation since 1983, to no avail until 2002, when the city council promised to handle it…
You guessed it, no such thing happened and here we have the result. Sure, political party officials have rushed to the cameras to express their outrage, but nobody will take their pleas seriously until actual improvements are made.
One could argue it's unfair to judge it this way. Accidents like this one are statistically insignificant compared to the overall. It's a good and valid point. But let's zoom in on this: the point here is that of the few fatal bicycle accidents that happen each year, this particular kind is the most dominant one. Just a day earlier a tourist from the US was killed on her rental bike by a cement truck turning the corner. Very unfortunate and again the consequences of a truck driver's blind spot.
Meanwhile, people of the neighborhood and from elsewhere (also through Twitter), showing support, got together and made a desperate statement by painting a zebra crossing where there should've been one in the first place. Just one of many more much needed measures.
Boris' dad pleaded with the city council to do something about this situation, so others don't suffer the same consequences and hopefully his death will not be in vain.
Me? I've always taken that intersection for granted, knowing my way around it, etc, but it did occur to me it was an ugly duckling compared to Amsterdam's general level of infrastructure. Now I feel embarrassed about the backdrop of this horrible story and saddened by the thought of how easy (and early on) this kind of risk could have been dealt with.
Let's see if our Amsterdam elders are really listening this time…
PS: the police officer in the ending of this video is having a discussion with one of the people painting the zebra crossing and ironically points to the fact that 'they don't have a permit to do this', as 'there are liabilities and building codes involved'. Uhm, yeah, well….doh!!!!

Bob Madigan, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Surprise of all surprises. At the Wednesday evening performance of Les Miserables at the National Theatre, Vice President Joe Biden was in the audience.
Reportedly the theatre staff was unaware of Mr. Biden had fourth row tickets until he arrived with his one of his granddaughters to help celebrate her birthday. It was a private evening for the two of them, and the audience gave them their privacy.
WTOP's Bob Madigan just happened to be seated next to them in the fourth row. They discussed how many times they had seen the musical, and determined they had both seen it in London in 1985. Mr. Biden said that he took his four children to see it in several different cities and now he is doing the same for his grandchildren.
After the final curtain call, the vice president went back stage to meet the cast and had a photo taken. Devin Ilaw, who plays Marius, said he was surprised to learn at intermission that the Bidens were in the audience and called the cast photo an awesome experience.

Data Integration and Ponies
Introducing Information Server Workgroup Edition
Introducing Information Server Workgroup Edition
This past week IBM launched two new Information Server offerings. You can find information about these at the following links:
Right Sized Pony for your birthday party
Three weeks ago I spoke with some friends who have a few horses and asked if they could help me surprise my daughter for her eight year old birthday party. They were kind enough to help out and the party earlier today was great. I have to say Kimberly was very surprised when the pony came walking into the backyard !!! Obviously, the party was on the top of my mind much of the week and as I sat down to write tonight, I was reminded of one of the questions from our friends. They wanted to know "how old will all the kids be". The reason for this question was pretty obvious once I thought about it.... they wanted to make sure they brought the right sized horse for the kids. If the horse was too big, the kids would have had a hard time getting on, and some may have been scared to participate. If the horse was too small, it would have tired out and not had enough energy to make it through the party.
Right Sized Data Integration Platform
This is a good analogy for the questions moderate sized organizations face when they consider moving forward with data integration software. These companies may not have enormous data volumes, but the business requirements they must satisfy are just as complex as those of larger enterprises. So, when they consider a data integration platform, they need the same robust capabilities to understand, cleanse, transform and deliver their data. However, their investment level needs to align to their business size. For these organizations, IBM is pleased to now offer Information Server Workgroup Edition.... not too big, easy to get on, and enough power to easily make it through the party. Workgroup Edition includes the breadth of data integration, profiling, advanced data analysis, quality and governance capabilities you need to make your project successful at a price and performance level aligned to your business.
If you work in a mid-sized business, or a department in a larger enterprise with a limited scope, you don't have to sacrifice industry leading data integration capabilities. If you're concerned about how your project may grow and want a product that can scale with your business, Workgroup Edition will allow you to move directly into the enterprise version of Information Server. This paves a very smooth road into the future for your business.
If you'd like to know more about Information Server Workgroup Edition, contact your local IBM team .... or feel free to send me a note (firstname.lastname@example.com). I can also tell you where to find a few good horses.

MARTINS FERRY - Bellaire and Martins Ferry had only played one overtime game in their storied106-game history.
Make it two after Friday night.
For the fourth time this season, the Big Reds have provided their fans with some late-game dramatics, the latest being a come-from-behind, 34-28, victory against Martins Ferry before an overflow crowd at Purple Rider Stadium inside the Dave Bruney Athletic Complex.
''These kids fight and fight and fight,'' said Bellaire coach Jose Davis, who also picked up his first coaching victory in the rivalry after winning twice as a player for the Big Reds. ''From Day 1 when we took over the program, this is where we wanted to build back to with these kids. We always tell them that it takes no athletic ability to give 100 percent. When you do that, good things can happen. Case in point right now.''
Spencer Badia's 17-yard strike to Nick Patrone on Bellaire's second play in the extra session capped a see-saw battle that saw the teams exchange blow after blow, and the lead five times.
''This feels great,'' Badia said. ''It's an entire team win. Everyone contributed.''
The scoring play, which set off a huge celebration by the Big Reds and their faithful and brought SPARKY to the All-American Village for the first time since 2006, came two plays after Martins Ferry fumbled on the 1 on second-and-goal.
The Purple Riders took the ball first in the extra session and moved the sticks to setup a first-and-goal from the 7. Quarterback Eric Flowers, playing in his first Bellaire-Martins Ferry game, picked up 5 on first down. He called his own number again, but this time on a second effort, was stripped of the ball and Bellaire's Abhay Horvath scooped it up.
Bellaire took over at the 20 and Badia ran for 3 yards on first down. On the next play he threw a laser to a wide-open Patrone at the goal line and he waltzed into the end zone as the celebration began.
With a victory, the Division V, Region 17 Big Reds (8-2) advance to the playoffs for the first time since 2006 when they were Division IV. In all likelihood, Bellaire, which finished seventh, will travel to Sugarcreek to meet No. 2 Garaway (10-0). The final pairings will be announced Sunday by the Ohio High School Athletic Association.
The loss ends Martins Ferry's season at 5-5.
''We made one more mistake than they made,'' veteran Martins Ferry coach Dave Bruney said. ''I congratulate Bellaire. They had a great game plan, and I thought we did, as well.
''I also congratulate our players with all the injuries we had and a player not being able to play because of something that happened in school. For our guys to be able to regroup after those things, I couldn't be prouder of them.''
The Purple Riders struck first as Flowers lofted the ball downfield to Cody Schau who caught it in stride and completed the 40-yard pitch-and-catch. Arjay Burress nailed the first of his four PATs and it was 7-0 in favor of the hosts with 2:15 left in the first quarter.
Bellaire countered with an eight-play, 73-yard drive that was capped by Badia's 2-yard dance. Dalton Conroy was true on the first of his four extra points at the 11:56 mark of the second quarter.
The Big Reds made it 14-7 on their next possession as they marched 70 yards on 16 plays. Badia found Quinton Crosby in the middle of the end zone from 8 yards out with 4:25 left in the first half.
Schau picked off a Badia pass near midfield with a little more than a minute in the half, and the Purple Riders cashed in when Flowers bulled his way into the end zone from a yard out as the clock showed 14-14 with 20 ticks left.
Bellaire, on its lone possession of the third quarter, used the legs of Nick Maffe to draw even at 21-21. The hard-running senior ripped off gains of 32 and 33 before crashing in from the 1.
Flowers found the end zone from 9 yards out on a nifty bootleg with 10:36 left in the fourth quarter that gave the Purple Riders a 28-21 advantage.
Badia drove his troops 65 yards on nine plays, hitting Patrone on a slant from 9 yards out to tie it at 28-28. A key 38-yard connection between Badia and Crosby on fourth-and-4 from midfield kept the drive alive.
Badia finished with 369 yards on 28 of 48 and three TDs. He has 2,742 yards and 24 touchdowns this season. Crosby grabbed nine balls for 99 yards, while Patrone had seven catches that totaled 119 yards. Kenny Hess had five receptions for 110 yards. Maffe finished with 73 yards on eight totes.

RALEIGH -- Even at a time where competitive spirits are at their highest, a local college student proved its possible to truly respect your opponent.
NC State junior Rob McLamb shared his admiration for Tar Heel legend Dean Smith just ahead of the two schools' matchup Saturday night.
McLamb published the article, "A Prayer for Dean Smith," in the school's student newspaper Friday. He wanted Smith to know that he has the respect of, not only Tar Heel faithful, but basketball fans across the country.
Read: "A Prayer for Dean Smith"
Smith, now 81, has made fewer public appearances as his memory continues to fade, but the article proves his influence won't ever do the same.
McLamb's article has received praise from fans on many forums, including those used by NC State fans.

I'm planning a collaborative environment which will in part use zimbra for the messaging and calendar part.
There will be a CMS where groups will be defined and have a dedicated space. Each group will have a leader in charge of the group calendar, whose events will have to be shown in the group space of the CMS.
To ease the management of these calendars, I thought the best solution was to create them all under one special account in zimbra (instead of having calendars created under several group leader accounts).
Do you think this is a reasonnable solution ?
Best regards,

In his letter of resignation, Fish wrote, "My wife, Erin, and I have been contemplating her return to the classroom as a teacher. She has decided to apply for an elementary teaching position within BISD."
District rules would not permit his wife to be hired by the district while he was a board member.
Fish said, "In addition, if you accept my resignation, I would strongly suggest y'all appoint Tom Beasley as the successor until I can return."
Beasley, who was sitting in the audience, agreed and simply said, "for a short duration."
This isn't the first time Beasley has served on the BISD board.
He served nine years before resigning about two years ago, saying that he wanted time to pursue other things such as painting and amateur archaeology.
"Welcome back, Tom. And if you still have your nameplate you can bring it back. If not, we can make you a new one," said Nick Cardenas, board president.

Game of Thrones Wiki:Policies, Guidelines and Parent Filter
Redirected from Policies and guidelines
this wiki
This page outlines the policies and guidelines that should be adhered to when adding images and pages or making changes to the Wiki.
Parent Page
- Read about our Parental Guide here: Parent Page
User behavior
- Vandalism will not be tolerated and will always result in a block of varying severity depending on how major an admin judges the act to have been.
- Rudeness towards other users will result in a warning, and persistence will have to be met with punishment. This is a community, and things are a lot easier if everyone isn't insulting one another.
- In case of an edit war, users are to discuss the issue between themselves either on the article's talk page or their own user talk pages. If a result cannot be agreed upon the incident may be mediated by another user, or eventually an admin if the dispute still fails to reach a resolution.
- All comments (entries submitted to talk pages or the forum) are to be signed using four tildes (~~~~) so that commenters can be identified easily and without the need to peruse a page's history. This practice should not be carried onto article pages as "signing your work" is inappropriate for a wiki and does not conform to community standards.
- Political views (particularly those of an extreme nature) should not be broadcast on this wiki, as it usually leads to continuous arguments that cannot be resolved.
This is a wiki about the TV series
This Wiki is based on the Game of Thrones TV show and not the Song of Ice and Fire novels. The two are separate entities with their own canon and continuities. What is true for one may not be true for the other. This means that:
- The existence of a character in the TV canon should not be assumed because they appear in the novels. Book characters who have been mentioned but have not appeared yet (most notably Stannis Baratheon and Balon Greyjoy as of Season 1) can certainly be added to the TV Wiki, but it should not be assumed that say Oberyn Martell will be in the TV series just because he's in the books.
- The same goes for noble houses. There are over 300 noble houses listed in the books or in semi-canon resources, but it's unlikely that the TV show will ever show more than a tiny fraction of these. We can give entries to mentioned houses or to houses featured on the HBO 'Viewer's Guide' website, but most houses will not warrant a mention.
- TV character names should be followed at all times. For example, the entry on the young lord of the Vale is at Robin Arryn, which is his name in the TV series, not 'Robert Arryn'. The same for Rakharo rather than Jhogo. Most notably, the name of the nonhuman antagonists of the series is the 'White Walkers', not 'the Others'. Noting name changes is fine in the 'In the books' section, but TV terminology and names should be used throughout.
- There is an excellent wiki for the books here, if you wish to contribute to a novel-based wiki rather than one based on the TV show.
A spoiler is a plot detail that has not been featured in an aired episode. Plot details from aired episodes are not spoilers and the wiki aims to be up to date with the latest episode so viewers who are not up to date are likely to find plot details that are new to them.
The TV series is based on a series of books and at the current rate will take many seasons to catch up to the novels. As such, essentially the entire storyline for the series for at least five seasons (and potentially more) is known to many hundreds of thousands of people. Since this is a Wiki about the TV series alone, no spoilers, events or characters from future books may be added to the Wiki until the TV series introduces them. Certainly the fate of major characters and the outcome of major storylines should not be revealed under any circumstances.
New editors contravening this policy in good faith should be made aware of it by placing Template:Spoiler Policy and an explanation on their talk page. The template reads:
The Game of Thrones television series is an adaptation of the Song of Ice and Fire novels but will deviate from them in some areas. In addition this wiki is meant for the enjoyment of watchers of the television series who do not have any knowledge of the books. For this reason, spoilers and events from the books are not permitted on entries on this Wiki. Information from the books can be added to entries once the TV series has reached the same point in the story. For book-specific information, please visit the Wiki of Ice and Fire.
Deliberate or persistent violations of the policy will be met with a block from editing, duration to be determined by an administrator but typically 1 year for violators who contribute nothing but spoilers.
Using official and American spellings
Although set in a land reminiscent of Medieval Europe, Game of Thrones is an American series based on an American sequence of books by an American author which uses American spellings throughout. As such, the correct spelling of words on the Wiki should be the American ("As High as Honor" for the Arryn motto, not "Honour", for example).
Also important is that the correct spellings of terms, names and terminology are used. So it's "khal", not "kahl", "Petyr Baelish" and not "Peter Baelish". If in doubt, check the HBO Viewer's Guide website.
Image policy and relationship with HBO
The use of official promotional HBO images is permitted under Fair Use, though if possible smaller images should be used rather than high-resolution ones.
The use of screencaps is specifically permitted for this Wiki by HBO, as long as we don't go overboard (i.e. drowning each article in screencaps where a couple will suffice) and as long as we understand that HBO reserve the right to ask us to remove specific or all screencaps at any time. Given the number of Wikis out there based on HBO shows with tons of screencaps, I doubt this will ever be an issue.
New images should be uploaded with:
- A proper name/title for the image file, that pertains to the image itself.
- A description.
- A link to the image source or a description of its origin.
- A licensing tag.
- An appropriate category.
- Please note: Try to only upload images to an article or blog. Pointless images floating about is counter-productive.
- Only 3 warnings will be given, until a block will be given to your account.
Because this Wiki is based on the TV series and the TV series alone, the use of images unrelated to the TV series should only be considered if absolutely necessary. Using the covers of the novels to illustrate the book article under Fair Use is one thing, for example, but the use of other copyrighted material (Amoka's portraits of book characters, Ted Nasmith's castle artwork etc.) must be avoided.
We enjoy a cordial relationship with HBO at present. Anything that will threaten that relationship and the long-term future of the Wiki, such as publishing spam, illegal download links and so on, will not be tolerated.
Featured articles
We feature one article on the main page each month. There is a Featured Article nomination process for suggesting articles for this highlighting. The wiki has a Featured Article archive of past recipients.
Underage users
Game of Thrones is rated TV-MA, which means the series is meant for adults. Any user under the age of 18 will be unable to edit the Game of Thrones Wiki. We appreciate all the editors who help, but unfortunately we must take precautions when it comes to underage users editing on a more "adult" site.

I'm fighting now for over 4 days (and partly nights) to move my old running environment to a new faster and bigger server.
Problem is - I cannot change the IP and the hostname to the old data until I have the new system running.
And everytime I come to the restore point I got stucked because of the wrong Hostname and wrong IP.
I know there are thousands of postings in the forum discussing the "move from one to another server" but none of them provides me a good solution to keep the "new" hostname and the "new" IP and get the old data (ldap, Mail) running.
I would really apreciate help!

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - Detectives with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department are investigating a double shooting that took place Sunday night in a north city neighborhood.
According to a police spokesperson, the shooting occurred around 7:50 p.m. in the 5500 block of Genevieve Avenue in the Walnut Park East neighborhood.
Officers were called to a home for a shooting and found the victims, two men, ages 23 and 40, lying in the front yard with apparent gunshot wounds. The 40-year-old was able to give a limited description of the shooters to police.
Both victims remain listed in stable condition at a local hospital.

I'm not against them. They don't effect my hunt so I don't mind them.
People in SUV's and suburbs will kill more game animals than a man with a bow, ever could.
I always wondered how dudes get a whole elk in the back of the truck. Everyone I've ever killed has been hauled out piece by piece on my back. I'm not against it, long as everything is legal. I spend lots of time behind the wheel driving block management areas to put the stalk on antelope with the bow. Actually had a shot with the bow right outside of the door last year on an antelope. I love sept as they get pretty silly.
Never hunted a road before how do they taste? J/K
Roadhunting is not my gig. I really like getting back in there to be on the animals turf and get the full experience. Don't get me wrong I have taken a shot at a few animals that were within a quarter mile of the trail head. I hunt the second I leave the truck all the way to where I pitch my tent.
I love road hunters! Less people to deal with in the back country. Folks have made some really good points on the Forum. As far as I'm concerned, as long as people are legal and SAFE, have at it and enjoy yourself.
Yeah, to each their own as long as it's legal and not pissing me off like the guy who rides his wheeler off the road and ended up parking it below my tree stand. That's almost grounds for a rubber dub in the butt!
Road hunting with only going 100 yards from the truck is all I knew until I got into bowhunting 6 years ago. I don't have anything against them...it seems those hunters are out for a vacation/hunt than an actual hunt. Since bowhunting I have found the value in walking a few miles off the beaten path!
No problem with it at all.....I heard of A guy few towns south of me, Shooting a big 6 point bull elk laying down, 60 yards off the road....
I don't have a lot of experience in dealing with road hunters the last few years, as I mostly hunt where there are no roads (wilderness).
When I bowhunted the Kaibab all those years, there were plenty of road hunters and a fairly large network of roads on the plateau. There were plenty of places to get off the road and still-hunt.......only issue I've had is when they "block" the top of a road waiting for prime time while I'm trying to drive past them so I can park and start hiking before daybreak. Most of the time they just let me by, but some wouldn't until we had a chat and they realized I wasn't road hunting.
I do feel that those who exclusively road hunt that are physically able to hike, as I feel they are missing the beauty of the hunt itself......but if they're content and it's legal where they're at, who am I to say otherwise. JMO

Bereavement Ministry
College Church Helping Hands
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4
In the fall of 2011, a new committee was established under the Family Life Commission for the purpose of supporting SFX members suffering the death of a loved one. The Bereavement Committee began by inviting parishioners who have experienced a loss in the past year to join in a special remembrance ritual at the 10:30 am Mass on November 6, 2011 to coincide with the Feast of All Souls. Since that time, committee members have been making personal contact with all those who notify the parish of a loss. Resource information on grief support will be available alongside the Book sales. Two annual presentations on grief-related topics will be presented for the parish community. They will provide an opportunity for prayer and reflection for all parishioners and their guests. The November Mass of Remembrance will become an annual tradition. And perhaps most importantly, members of the Bereavement Committee have committed themselves to prayer for any parishioner experiencing a significant loss, regardless of whether or not the details are known to the parish.
Walking in companionship with those who mourn is a call to stewardship and a privilege for those who undertake it. The Order of Christian Funerals (International Commission on English in the Liturgy, Liturgy Training Publications, Chicago, 1989) instructs us that we are responsible for one another and each member of Christ's body is called to participate in the ministry of consolation: to help the sick return to health, to care for the dying, to pray for the dead, to comfort those who mourn. In Paragraph eight we read: "If one member suffers in the Body of Christ which is the Church, all members suffer with that member" (1 Corinthians 12:26). For this reason, those who are baptized into Christ and nourished at the same table of the Lord are responsible for one another. When Christians are sick, their brothers and sisters share a ministry of mutual charity and "do all they can to help the sick return to health, by showing love for the sick, and by celebrating the sacraments with them" (Roman Ritual, Pastoral Care of the Sick: Rites of Anointing and Viaticum, General Introduction, no. 33).
So too when a member of Christ's Body dies, the faithful are called to a ministry of consolation to those who have suffered the loss of one whom they love. Christian consolation is rooted in that hope that comes from faith in the saving death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christian hope faces the reality of death and the anguish of grief but trusts confidently that the power of sin and death has been vanquished by the risen Lord. The Church calls each member of Christ's Body — priest, deacon, layperson — to participate in the ministry of consolation: to care for the dying, to pray for the dead, to comfort those who mourn (OCF, #8).
Members of the Bereavement Committee include Mary Mondello, Joan Smith, Kathleen Tehan, Mary Tychonievich and Mary Ann Wachtel, SFCC. Jane Conrad chairs the committee.
Please contact Mary Beth Erickson at the Parish Center 314-977-7304, or firstname.lastname@example.com if you have experienced a loss.

Researchers say overuse of antibiotics is breeding a stronger strep.
A Harvard School of Public Health study predicts as many as 40 percent of the strains of a dangerous form of strep (Streptococcus pneumoniae) could be resistant to two common antibiotics by next year.
That form of strep causes thousands of cases of meningitis, sinusitis, ear infections and pneumonia every year.
Researchers studied reports from eight states showing steady growth of resistance to penicillin and erythromycin from 1996 to 1999.
One of the researchers says the study adds more proof of the danger of unnecessary antibiotic use.
Many people demand antibiotics for colds -- even though antibiotics can't fight a cold.
Experts say doctors must be sure patients have a bacterial infection -- not a virus with similar symptoms -- before prescribing antibiotics.

Many kids have allergies — in fact, they're the most common cause of chronic nasal congestion in children.
Allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) can be an effective treatment for allergies. Here are the basics on allergy shots and how to help a child deal with them.
An allergy occurs when the body's immune system has an exaggerated reaction to a usually harmless substance. The most common allergens (substances that trigger the allergy) are dust mites, molds, pollen, pets with fur or feathers, stinging insects, and some kinds of foods.
The body reacts to the trigger by releasing chemicals, one of which is histamine. Allergic symptoms can include runny nose, congestion, sneezing, itchy eyes, and ear itching or popping. Asthma also might occur in some kids.
The best way to prevent or control allergy symptoms is to avoid triggers. An allergist (a doctor trained to identify and treat allergies) will look for causes of an allergy by testing a person's reaction to specific allergens with skin or blood tests. Then, based on the test results, the allergist or another doctor can recommend treatments, including medications and ways to avoid exposure to allergens.
If environmental control measures and treatment with basic allergy medications are not successful, allergy shots might be recommended as the next step.
Allergy shots help the body build immunity to specific allergens, thus eventually preventing or lessening reactions from exposure to the allergen. Allergy shots also decrease the risk of developing asthma by 50% and reduce the chance of developing new allergens.
The shots contain a purified form of the allergens that are causing problems. The course of shots is usually given over a 5-year period. The dosage of the allergen is gradually increased over the first 4 to 5 months to a monthly maintenance dose, which is usually given for up to 3 years. After 5 years of getting allergy shots, a patient may no longer seem to be allergic.
If your doctor recommends allergen immunology, your child might begin receiving shots containing very small doses of allergen once or twice a week. The dose is slowly increased with each shot to allow the immune system to safely adjust and build immunity to the allergens. This is called the buildup phase.
Your child might not get symptom relief from allergies until higher doses are achieved at the end of the buildup phase. Once the highest effective and safe dose is reached, the frequency of shots gradually decreases to weekly, then biweekly, and then possibly monthly. This is called maintenance.
Allergy shots are really like vaccinations: They boost the defenses of the immune system to help the body reduce the allergic reaction. Given by a well-trained and experienced health professional, allergy shots are safe and effective and can be given to children as young as 4 or 5 years old.
Allergy shots, which are given year-round, work better against some substances than others. Generally, the shots are most effective against insect venoms and allergens that are inhaled, such as pollens, dust, molds, and animal dander.
When your child receives allergy shots, he or she may experience a reaction near the site of the injection. A patch of skin on the arm approximately the size of a quarter may itch and swell. This reaction is a signal that the body is responding to the allergen. You can treat this reaction by applying ice to the area and giving your child an antihistamine.
More serious reactions, such as hives and itching all over the body or wheezing and breathing difficulties, are unusual and occur in less than 2% of patients.
Shots might seem like an unusual way to treat allergies, but they're effective at decreasing sensitivity to triggers. The substances in the shots are chosen according to the allergens identified from a person's medical history and by the allergist during the initial testing. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees the standards used in preparing the materials for allergy shots given in the United States.
The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology offers these tips to parents to make sure their kids receive allergy shots safely:
Allergen immunotherapy isn't necessary for everyone with allergies. Many kids get along fine by living in homes that are as free as possible of allergens or by taking allergy medication during peak allergy season.
But many kids battle allergies year-round, and some can't control their symptoms with medications. For them, allergen immunotherapy can be beneficial.
Allergy shots are extremely safe when given properly, but they do have the potential for rare but serious reactions. This is because treatment involves exposure to the substances to which someone is known to be allergic. A qualified allergist/immunologist will have all the medications and equipment necessary at the office to treat a serious reaction immediately.
Every time your child receives an injection, your doctor will have him or her wait 30 minutes in the office to make sure there is no adverse reaction. The doctor's staff will be watching for early signs and symptoms that could require emergency procedures and medications. If a severe reaction occurs, 98% of the time it will occur within 30 minutes of the shot and the reaction will usually respond to treatment with an injection of epinephrine (adrenaline).
In the event of a severe reaction, the doctor will probably reduce the dosage of allergen in the next injection to allow your child's system to build immunity more gradually.
Millions of people each year receive allergy shots without problems; however, to ensure safety, doctors recommend that immunotherapy be given in a controlled environment where the physicians and other health care personnel are trained to respond to an emergency. Board-certified allergists/immunologists have had a minimum of 5 years of training after medical school, which ensures that patients who have problems are cared for according to the highest standards.
In some cases, for convenience, the allergist/immunologist might work together with a child's primary care doctor so that some or most of the shots can be given by the doctor at his or her office.
A primary care doctor can usually recommend a qualified allergist/immunologist. Or ask a family member or friend who is seeing an allergist/immunologist for a recommendation.
And the website of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma Immunology, www.aaaai.org, has a listing of allergists by location.
An allergy shot is given with a needle that is smaller than those used for most childhood vaccinations, which makes it less painful. Still, for some kids any shot can seem scary. A parent's positive and supportive attitude can go a long way toward helping a child accept the treatment and achieve successful results. Treatment seems to go much better if the parent is confident and committed to the child getting the immunotherapy.
Allergy shots can seem a bit scary at first. But understanding their benefits and how they work will help you and your child accept them as routine.

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) - A private developer may step in to help build a new interchange on Interstate 70 east of Frederick.
The proposal to bring Elm Street Development onto the project must be approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
Frederick County Traffic Engineer Ron Burns tells The Frederick News-Post (http://tinyurl.com/c74jnpl ) that the proposal would allow planning and construction to go forward without any government money.
Much of the project would be financed by tax increment financing, allowing the company to use future tax gains to pay for it.
The State Highway Administration has estimated that the interchange would cost about $30 million. Elm Street Development vice president Jason Wiley says his company could do it for 15 to 25 percent less.

I've added more RAM to accomodate mysql, got the hosts file correct and successfully setup Zimbra. I can login to the admin interface and the web client.
There's only one problem remaining that I'm stuck on. When I try to send email to internal users, Postfix fails on trying to deliver the mail with lmtp. Here's what the zimbra.log tells me.
Oct 3 19:47:31 mackenreusch postfix/lmtp[13927]: 0D0981772AF: to=
, relay=none, delay=84404, status=deferred (connect to mackenreusch.reusch.net[22.214.171.124]: Connection refused)
I *think* I understand what's happening, but I'm not sure how to fix it. The server lives behind a NAT router. The external IP is the 18.104.22.168 address and is what the hostname mackenreusch.reusch.net resolves to in DNS. It looks like postfix is doing a DNS lookup and trying to delivery to the public IP address instead of the server's internal IP, 192.168.2.52.
I could setup an internal DNS server that would tell postfix mackenreusch.reusch.net resolves to 192.168.5.2, but I'd rather avoid having to setup bind if possible.
From digging into the zimbra postfix setup, it looks like postfix gets the transport map from LDAP. Could I change the transport map to tell it to deliver mail to mackenreusch.reusch.net to the localhost LMTP server?
I suspect I won't be the last person to run into this problem given how popular NAT is and hope the solution will be useful to others!
I've been waiting for a viable open alternative to MS Exchange for a while, and Zimbra is by far the best I've seen. Way to go!

Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) - Damyean Dotson scored 19 points, including
the game's final four, to lift the Oregon Ducks past the 18th-ranked UNLV
Runnin' Rebels, 83-79, in the semifinals of the Global Sports Classic.
Carlos Emory added 16 points, his last two coming on a bank shot in transition
that tied the game, 79-79, with just over a minute remaining.
After Justin Hawkins missed a 3-pointer from the corner, Dotson spun left in
the lane and got a bucket to fall, then hit the clinching free throws
following an Anthony Marshall miss.
The outcome ended UNLV's 20-game winning streak at Thomas & Mack Center and
advanced the Ducks (5-0) into the early tournament championship game against
No. 22 Cincinnati on Saturday.
Anthony Bennett led UNLV (2-1) with 22 points, while Katin Reinhardt netted 18
behind 4-of-8 shooting from long range.

Former Journey frontman Steve Perry has revealed that "Lights" -- the band's loving tribute to San Francisco -- was actually originally recorded about Los Angeles. Perry spoke about the track to Classic Rock magazine, recalling, "I actually had the song sketched in my brain while I was living in L.A. I was up at Griffith Park Observatory many nights looking over the lights of Los Angeles. And being a country boy, it just astonished me how it would go on forever. One morning, very early, the sun was coming up and the lights were slowly starting to go down and the original line was: 'When the lights go down in the city/and the sun shines on L.A.'"
Perry went on to explain how the song changed cities once guitarist Neal Schon was brought into the songwriting process: "I told Neal about this idea, and he liked it and wrote the bridge with me. It quickly switched to going over the Golden Gate Bridge and observing the same thing -- the lights going down, and then of course, 'the sun shines on the bay.'"

File:Atmospheric Transmission.png
From Global Warming Art
This figure shows the absorption bands in the Earth's atmosphere (middle panel) and the effect that this has on both solar radiation and upgoing thermal radiation (top panel). Individual absorption spectrum for major greenhouse gases plus Rayleigh scattering are shown in the lower panel.
Both the Earth and the Sun emit electromagnetic radiation (e.g. light) that closely follows a blackbody spectrum, and which can be predicted based solely on their respective temperatures. For the sun, these emissions peak in the visible region and correspond to a temperature of ~5500 K. Emissions from the Earth vary following variations in temperature across different locations and altitudes, but always peak in the infrared. The bulk of emissions from the Earth radiate from within the colder regions of the atmosphere rather than from the surface directly, and give the Earth an average emission temperature of about 250 K (-20 °C) (Kiehl and Trenberth 1997).
The position and number of absorption bands are determined by the chemical properties of the gases present. In the present atmosphere, water vapor is the most significant of these greenhouse gases, followed by carbon dioxide and various other minor greenhouse gases. In addition, Rayleigh scattering, the physical process that makes the sky blue, also disperses some incoming sunlight. Collectively these processes capture and redistribute 25-30% of the energy in direct sunlight passing through the atmosphere. By contrast, the greenhouse gases capture 70-85% of the energy in upgoing thermal radiation emitted from the Earth surface. This disparity is a major factor in creating the greenhouse effect, whereby thermal energy is trapped near the Earth's surface warming the planet.
Global warming
The greenhouse effect is an essential physical process, mediated primarily by water vapor, that warms the Earth approximately 32 °C (Lashof 1989), allowing the planet to be habitable and maintain abundant liquid water. By contrast global warming, involves a small increase in average temperatures mediated in large part by a few percent increase in the greenhouse effect. This increase is primarily caused by large increases in carbon dioxide (+35% concentration since 1700), methane (+150%) and nitrous oxide (+20%) [1]. These gases, in combination with a water vapor feedback [2], provide the small increase in the greenhouse effect blamed for anthropogenic global warming.
It should be noted that while some bands are saturated (i.e. 100% of radiation in that band is absorbed), that does not imply that further increases in greenhouse gas concentration have no effect on that band. Rather additional greenhouse gases will cause the radiation to be captured closer to the Earth's surface which still increases warming. However rather than doubling as concentrations double, the overall effect proceeds only by small increments giving rise to a logarithmic progression rather than a linear one.
Data sources and notes
The data used for these figures is based primarily on Spectral Calculator of GATS, Inc. which implements the LINEPAK system of calculating absorption spectra (Gordley et al. 1994) from the HITRAN2004 (Rothman et al. 2004) spectroscopic database. To aid presentation, the absorption spectra were smoothed. Features with a bandwidth narrower than 0.5% of their wavelength may be obscured.
Calculations were done on the assumption of direct vertical transmission through an atmosphere with gas concentrations representative of modern day averages. In particular, absorption would be greater for radiation traveling obliquely through the atmosphere as it would encounter more gas.
The total scattering and absorption curve includes only the components indicated in the lower panel. These represent the vast majority of absorption contributing to the greenhouse effect and follow the treatment of Peixoto and Oort (1992), but other minor species such as carbon monoxide, nitric oxide and chloroflourocarbons (CFCs) have been omitted. Also omitted was scattering due to aerosols and other sources besides Rayleigh scattering.
The peaks in the blackbody spectra were adjusted to have the same height for ease in presentation.

Not carrying a watch or some sort of time piece. Was on a hunt with my dad, he had killed a buck and drove it to town. Some elk hunters said when they leave camp at 3 am there are big bucks (deer) right in camp. while my dad was gone I went to hunt behind camp. I found a dandy buck with a bunch of does, bout 3/4 miles away. It would have been about a 2 mile walk to get around for a shot without being spotted. Clouds rolled in and it started to get dark (ish). I thought I didn't have enough time to make the trek so I backed out and went back to camp undetected. I thought I had him pegged and I would just come back in the morning and kill a great buck. I got back to camp, and prepared for the morning, thinking nightfall was quickly approaching. Well I didn't have a watch so I didn't know that I had more than enough time to make the hike, kill the buck and be back to camp before sunset. Not until my dad returned did I find out the correct time. I was upset to say the least, at myself. Well no one had hunted it yet so I thought I still had a good chance in the morning I thought. We made it in there nice and early and what do we find? Two hunters and no deer, their wind had blown out the whole area because they came in the easy way from a nearby road. I always carry a timepiece now, lesson learned
If you ever get the feeling that maybe you should put the chains on, do not ignore that thought, stop and put them on. That was my big lesson from last years' hunting season. Luckily it only cost me a couple of hours and my pride, I swear everything was going just fine and then all of a sudden it wasn't. Twenty kilometres off highway, alone, and not another truck track in or out, snow up to the bumper when just a second's inattention leaves me in the ditch up against the rocks. If it had been on the other side of the road I had about 70-80m into the river.
Mine would be feeling sorry for a friend (of my best friend) who had no place to hunt elk. Took him to my favorite spot, and we got our elk....happy days! Almost.... The next season I went up early to scout a bit, and there he was, along with both his brothers and their friends. The following years all their friends brought their friends, and well, you know the rest. The spot sucks now. I hunt elsewhere and I'm pretty closed mouth about it. By the way, the jerk never thanked me.

I would have to say the hardest lesson I learned was do your homework when you draw a tag of a lifetime and don't rely on someone else to take you to what they think is a great area. The very first time I ever put in for an out of state hunt, I put in for Nevada and drew the best tag possible that allowed me to hunt anywhere in the state when the season opened. When my dad told me to work with his friend who was supposed to know the state well, he laid out where he thought I should go and off we went. I did end up getting my buck but knowing what I know now, there were better options available then the area we picked for the opener in Oct.
Hiked in through some thick brush about 1/2 mile from truck, climbed tree, got settled in, at first light began to check things out and knew something didn't feel right. Left my release on hood of my truck. Climbed down, left stand on try, hiked back and forth 1 mile round trip, climbed back up tree.
Didn't reduce layers and thus sweating profusely and naturally the cold set in.
All wasn't lost as I harvested not one but two does that morning with my bow.

I've probably made every mistake you could possible make when I first started and I'm STILL learning. The biggest mistake I've made, has to be not getting started until I was almost 18 yrs old. Now that I'm 36 and have children, I make every effort to get them in the outdoors and pass down what I've learned. Sometimes we learn together!
Always pay attention to whats going on around you, and patience is key!!!!
Last year I was walking out of a basin after a long morning hunt, so I was tired and hot and trying to get back to the quad, just focused on getting out. I stopped to check and see how far back my dad and grandpa were and hear that dreaded sound... thump, thump ,thump. Only to have a 190-200 inch velvet muley bounding away into the thickest stuff I've seen. After checking tracks it turns out he was bedded in plain view about 35 yards from me.
Another time we spotted a very big buck on the morning drive to our hunting spot so I got off the quad and started a big loop to get in on him. My dad said he'd come pick me up if he busted out. So I watched the buck go into some Quakies as I was closing the distance. Once I got to about 150 yards out, I saw his buddy bust out and a quad start up and drive so I figured he busted out. I take my arrow off and start walking up towards the road and past where the bucks were. I got up to the Quakies look to my right and see a 200"+ muley staring down his nose at me from 35-40 yards just long enough to get that image stuck in my head. I will never forget that image, it was a sight for sure. Turns out some random guy was just driving by up there as well it wasnt my dad on his way down.
Here is my experience from this Muzzleloader season. We had found a pocket with many nice bucks and had hiked into it before light. Just as the sun was coming up we got into a standoff with one of the smaller bucks we had seen many times at 95 yards. They ended up blowing out, but we were on a shelf and they were below us with a small patch of Aspens in between. So we decided to just spread out and huck a few rocks into them. So we each throw several rocks and wait and nothing happens. So I walk 100 yards to go get a better look at a hilltop that we've spotted deer on in the past just as i get over there I look back at my dad and buddy and they were freaking out. So I come back and as soon as I can see off the shelf there stands the 26 inch tall freaky 3x2 we'd been hunting all season 90 yards from where I originally was and 160 from where I was now. No shot and he was out of there.

It's easy to imagine a not-too-distant future when electronic health records (EHR) and electronic medical records (EMR) are an essential part of patient care.
In this future, doctors working in clinics, hospitals, and private practices work with computers, PDAs, or other devices to retrieve and enter information about their patients, whose records are updated in real-time.
Industry-wide standards will also allow an exchange of information between clinical researchers and providers of patient care. Physicians, as they enter information about an individual patient visit, will be informed if that patient is enrolled in a clinical trial, prompting them to collect additional information or assist them with scheduling and patient-visit reminders. At the same time, if a physician keys in wrong information—say, a prescription that is contraindicated for a particular patient—the system will send out a notification, helping to prevent medical errors.
Rewind to present day: The healthcare system and the pharmaceutical industry are just beginning to move toward using information technology in such a way that could make this scenario possible. But some substantial obstacles—rooted in the very nature of patient care and clinical trials—stand in the way. It is important for both healthcare and pharma leaders to understand the nature of the problems; if they can be solved, patients, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies all stand to gain substantial benefits.
The (Unrealized) EDC Dream
Adoption of EMRs in hospitals and private practice is on a steady incline, driven by the need to manage costs and deliver higher-quality healthcare while enhancing the safety of patients. Reports from 2002 (the last year data were collected) suggest that 20 to 25 percent of US healthcare practices, and close to 50 percent of hospitals, use EMR/EHR systems.
At the same time, clinical trial sponsors are increasingly using electronic data capture (EDC) systems, which hold the potential to dramatically reduce the time and effort needed to acquire and process clinical trial data. Today, an estimated 27 to 30 percent of clinical trials in both hospitals and private practices use EDC.
Going forward, those systems will be particularly valuable to pharma if they can be used to populate EDC systems.To understand the problems associated with integrating EHRs and clinical trials, however, it is essential to focus on the concept of "source data," which lies at the heart of data collection and management for all clinical trials.
The ICH Harmonised Tripartite Guideline for Good Clinical Practice defines source data as all information in original records and certified copies of original records of clinical findings, observations, or other activities necessary for the reconstruction and evaluation of a clinical trial. Source data are contained in source documents, which include hospital records, patient charts, laboratory notes, and pharmacy dispensing records.
