"Picked up in Seattle. One of my favorite strains for a general feeling of calm. Music and surroundings become more engrossing and wonderful probably for the first half hour after use. After that for usually about the next 2 hours a calm persists, food continues to taste wonderful, and, unique to this strain for me, people all seem to be fascinatingly beautiful. Comes down easy."

In response to LazarusintheSanatorium's comment:
BluePrint to Beat the Pats=Stay strong upfront on D, and offer up Any & EVERY opportunity which might allow for Brady to pass the ball...ALL- Day- Long.
You'll be primed to secure the lead and win come the 4th quarter...Your D won't be worn down or tired 1 bit, and your Offense WILL ultimately beat the odds based on NE's 2 minute long TOP drives, by taking the field more times and at quicker intervals, and eventually As your OWN D never has been broken & beaten down by NE's O, they'll hold firm come the endgame, while at the same time better & better odds are that your O will finally secure that uptmost critical, late-game score by chipping away at greater opportunities within shorter intervals, against NE's ever-more worn down Defense.
" No one said anything about McCourtey. But if you think Russel Wilson is the second coming of Peyton Manning then the db's were perhaps fine. If you think Russel Wilson is a rookie with a 75.3 passer rating (which is very bad by the way) should be able to throw for 3tds and a 133 rating well than like me you think the DB's stink."
Lmao...WhyTH would I think ANY of that?!? I think: NE's Offense left SOoooo many opportunistic chances afforded to them TO SCORE AND To Secure a SIGNIFICANT AND to establish THEIR exacting control over gameplay based on executing long AND consistant TOP drives, AND by simple & steady use of a running game by not subbing in & out NE's lead back, AND by reducing the number of drives and Increasing the number IN-between drives of Seattle, AND by (just like Baltimore, btw)- Offering up a Late 4th Quarter regulation-clock ending 4th quarter drive of their OWN, THUS actually benefitting (at this point, I'd even take anything short of "hamstringing") their own Team's VERY solid D play...throughout the 1st 55 minutes of this contest.
The offense was awful in the second half. Who the heck denies that! Just at least admit that the defense stunk, it will keep you from looking like a tool. I love Brady and he was terrible in the second half. I have zero problem saying that but no one intelligent can deny that the defense was awful too. It gave up 14 points in the 4th quarter and both scoring drives took less than 2 minutes. It was pathetic even if they had been facing P Manning. Taking into account it was Russel Wilson it is absolutely ridiculous that someone will try to defend the defense today, especially it's performance at the end.

Summer Term Registration
Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Policy
Certain courses taken during the Summer Term at Boston University may be credited toward the master's and PhD degrees if prior approval is obtained from the candidate's major department. The number of credits that can be earned in one session is limited to six. Graduate School of Arts & Sciences (GRS) students who do not wish to enroll for courses but wish to complete a degree requirement such as a language, comprehensive, qualifying, or dissertation examination must register as continuing students for one Summer Term and pay the Continuing Student Fee.
GRS students who are engaged during the summer in full-time research as an essential component of their graduate degree programs are eligible for Summer Research registration status. This is a no-cost mechanism whereby graduate students who are engaged in academic research during the summer can be appropriately registered as students for purposes of loan eligibility and tax considerations. Students seeking Summer Research status should complete a Summer Research Status Registration Form, obtain appropriate signatures, and submit the form to their departments for forwarding to the Graduate School Records office. This registration will not generate a tuition charge. The form includes a certification of full-time study that will document the student's commitment to research during the summer. By signing the forms, the department vouches that the students will be doing research full time for the 12 weeks of the Summer I and Summer II terms. The GRS Records Office will enter the registration on the student's records. Forms should be submitted by April 15. Summer Research status is available only for students continuing their studies in the fall. This status does not satisfy the mandatory registration for the final two semesters during which degree requirements are completed.

What is wrong with xterm?
xterm is bloated and unmaintainable. Here's an excerpt from the README:
Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here
This is undoubtedly the most ugly program in the distribution. It was one of
the first "serious" programs ported, and still has a lot of historical baggage.
Ideally, there would be a general tty widget and then vt102 and tek4014
subwidgets so that they could be used in other programs. We are trying to
clean things up as we go, but there is still a lot of work to do.
Needless to say things have not changed, it's still ugly. It has over 65K lines of code and emulates obscure and obsolete terminals you will never need. The popular alternative, rxvt has only 32K lines of code. This is just too much for something as simple as a terminal emulator; it's yet another example of code complexity.

The present invention relates to video display systems for displaying a surgical field, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for projecting an endoscopic image along an optical path and upon a sterilizable screen adjacent the surgical field, wherein the screen is nonperpendicular to the optical path so as to optimize the viewing angle of the projected image and present the image for manual identification by members of a surgical team.
Surgical procedures are often performed in surgical fields which are of a limited size or beneath the skin. With respect to endoscopic procedures, there are several methods for viewing the body interior. For example, the surgeon may look directly through the eyepiece of the endoscope. Alternatively, a beam splitter may be used to provide a second eyepiece for a surgical assistant to simultaneously view the surgical field. For those instances where more than two simultaneous views are necessary, the second view is replaced with a video camera. Splitting the beam between the eyepiece and video camera allows the surgeon to view the surgical field in a high resolution display while the video camera and monitor allow the remaining members of the surgical team to view the procedure. Alternatively, a video camera is mounted directly to the endoscope and one or more monitors are located about the operating environment so that the surgical team may view the field.
Alternatively, liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors can be employed. However, the LCD monitors have a limited viewing angle and an LCD having a sufficient size to permit sufficiently high resolution creates a substantial intrusion to the operating environment. In addition, the LCD monitors are nondisposable, thereby creating a sterilization problem. Further, the accompanying electronics and wires add undesired clutter to the operating environment.
Standard video projection systems are also used. However, the video projecting systems require the screen to be perpendicular to the projection axis. Therefore, locating the display screen at an optimum viewing angle causes a portion of the projected image to be out of focus. Alternatively, the projection path excessively interferes with the operating environment and is subject to frequent interruptions. Further, standard projection screens are irreparably stained by blood and bodily fluids, while disposable flexible screens require stretching or sufficient tension to retain the screens in a proper orientation.
The disadvantages of the prior systems include disorientation created by locating the monitor or projected image of the surgical field remotely from the surgical field. This disorientation is enhanced by the surgeon being unable to view the area of the surgical field and their hands simultaneously. In addition, forcing the surgeon to focus on an image at a relatively large distance while the surgeon's hands are adjacent the body is an unnatural perspective detrimental to the efficiency of surgeons. In addition, constraints on the available locations of the video monitors relative to the surgical field are such that the direction of movement of an instrument within the surgical field is often not translated into a movement in the same direction in the projected image.
Therefore, a need exists for a video display system for an operating environment, wherein a high resolution projected image of a surgical field or other video information may be located adjacent the surgical field and in a viewing orientation which is optimal to the surgeon. In addition, the need exists for a video display system which presents an image which is consistent with the direction of movement within the surgical field. The need also exists for a disposable and/or sterilizable screen for permitting contact with the surgical team or blood and other bodily fluids during the surgical procedure. The need also exists for a viewing screen which may be located at a favorable viewing angle without jeopardizing the integrity of the projected image.
The present invention includes a video projection system designed for a sterile operating environment for locating a viewing screen at an optimum viewing angle adjacent a surgical field and within the reach of the viewers. As the screen is adjacent the surgical field and within reach of the surgical field, direct eye and hand coordination is enhanced as viewers can simultaneously view the display of the surgical field and their hands. In addition, communication is facilitated by permitting manual referencing to the images on the view screen to unequivocally identify areas within the surgical field. Locating the projected image adjacent the surgical field also reduces fatigue of the surgeons.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention an endoscopic surgical field is displayed upon a viewing screen adjacent the surgical field. A high resolution small screen projection system having a tilted projection optic (compensator) projects the endoscopic image along an optical path. Mirrors locate the optical path adjacent the surgical field. A disposable/sterilizable viewing screen is retained along the optical path adjacent the surgical field at a predetermined distance from the projector at a nonperpendicular angle to the optical path. The tilted projection optic and angle between the optical path and the normal to the screen provides uniform focus of the entire projected image upon the screen.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a first embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a broken perspective view of the viewing screen;
FIGS. 3a and 3b are side elevational views of the first embodiment of attaching the viewing screen to a rod;
FIGS. 4a and 4b are side elevational views of an alternative attachment of the viewing screen to the mount; and
FIG. 5 is a side elevational view of a second embodiment of the invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a first embodiment of the present invention is disclosed. A video projector 20 is supported by a stand 40 to be remotely located from an operating table 6 and surgical field 16. The video projector 20 projects an image along an optical path 12, wherein the optical path passes through a tilted projection optic 60 (compensator) and intersects a disposable/sterilizable screen 90. An image gathering system 8, such as an endoscope, as well known in the art is used to gather the image to be projected by the projector 20. The image gathering system 8 is operably connected to the projector 20 via an image gathering system electronic converter 4, as known in the art by a standard transmission line 10, such as a video cable.
The video projector 20 is a self-contained system which projects a high quality high resolution video image along the optical path 12. Preferably, the projector 20 has a resolution which is substantially equal to a surgical video monitor. The projected resolution is approximately 450×245 pixels (horizontal by vertical). The video projector 20 may be any of a commercial available types such as the LC300 manufactured by Eiki.
In this embodiment the tilted projection optic 60 (compensator) includes the standard focusing, zoom optics 22 of the video projector 20 and a diopter lens 24. The diopter lens 24 is any of a variety well known in the art, such as the Professional Ser. 9 Plus 1/2 lens manufactured by Tiffen. The diopter lens 24 is used to change the focusing range of the focusing, zoom optics 22 of the projector 20 to the nearer distances. The focusing, zoom optics 22 are adjusted to produce an image the size of the viewing screen 90 at a practical projection length. The focusing, zoom optics 22 are also adjusted to focus the image onto the viewing screen 90. The projection length along the optical path 12 is sufficiently long to position the projector 20 well above or removed from the operating table 6 and out of the way of personnel and equipment. Preferably, the projection optic 60 and projector 20 location are selected to provide an optima image size at the point the optical path 12 is adjacent the surgical field 16. For example in general surgery, these selections would provide a projected image that is approximately life size.
The video projector 20 may be mounted horizontally or vertically. As shown in FIG. 1, in the horizontal mount of the projector, the stand 40 is used to support the projector 20. The stand 40 includes a base 42 having a connected post support 44. A post 46 extends from the post support 44 to terminate a distance above the operating ruble 6. An articulated arm 48 is connected to the post 46 to horizontally locate the video projector 20. Preferably, the video projector 20 is mounted to a base plate 50 which in turn is mounted to the articulated ann 48. Power and video cables 10 may extend within the post 46 and articulated arm 48 to the projector 20.
Alternatively as shown in FIG. 5, the vertical mounting of the projector 20 includes a linear track 52 affixed to the ceiling, wherein the track retains an arm mount 54. A counter balanced ann 56 extends from the arm mount 54 to horizontally displace the projector 20. A projector support 58 is connected to the ann mount 54 to operably retain the video projector 20 in a vertically projecting orientation.
Projection Optic
As shown in FIG. 1, the optical path 12 passes through an object plane 62 and the projection optic 60 and extends to the viewing screen 90. As previously stated, the optimal orientation of the viewing screen 90 and location of the video projector 20 results in the viewing screen being nonperpendicular to the optical path 12. That is, the normal of the screen 90 is set at an angle with respect to the optical path 12. In order to obtain a focused image across the entire angled screen 90, the projection optic 60 makes the object plane 62 conjugate to the screen surface 90. In conventional projection systems, the conjugate object and image planes are nominally perpendicular to the optical axis of the projection optic. In contrast in this embodiment, these planes are tilted relative to the optical axis of the projection optic 60, so that upon projection on the off angle screen 90, the entire image is in focus.
To minimize interference in the operating room and reduce interruption of the projected image, the optical path 12 adjacent the surgical field 16 is substantially vertical and does not include a substantial horizontal component which would interfere with a larger portion of the operating field. Therefore, the foot print of the optical path 12 is substantially minimized.
As shown in FIG. 1, a mirror 70 directs the optical path 12 from the projection optic 60 downward to viewing screen 90. Although only one mirror 70 is shown, a series of mirrors may be used to locate the optical path 12 relative to the surgical field 16.
Referring to FIG. 1, a screen rod 80 depends from the projector base plate 50 and terminates adjacent the operating table 6 and surgical field 16. The screen 90 is affixed to the rod 80 to be located at a predetermined distance from the projector 20. As the rod 80 is mounted upon the articulated arm 48, horizontal location of the screen 90 may be adjusted. The rod 80 is rigidly affixed relative to the projector 20 by threaded fasteners, as well known in the art.
Viewing Screen
The viewing screen 90 is a lightweight compact screen made from a PVC sheet material. Preferably, the optical surface of the screen 90 has a matte white finish. The PVC screen material is not distorted or permanently stained by blood or other body fluids. That is, the screen 90 may be easily rinsed with sterile saline or water and dried with sterile gauze to quickly remove any foreign matter which distorts the projected image.
The viewing screen material has a minimal internal light transmission and scattering. The screen material is rigid and light weight so that only a thin sheet is required to maintain a self supporting planar surface. The viewing screen has the same dimension as a typical video monitor, approximately a 13 inch diagonal. The normal to screen 90 is preferably mounted at an approximately 30° angle from a vertical position, as shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, the vertical size of the screen 90 is longer than the standard 4 to 3 video aspect ratio. However, as dictated by the operating environment, the screen 90 may be from approximately 15° to 85° from a vertical position. As the optical path 12 is substantially vertical in the area of the surgical field 16, the orientation of the viewing screen 90 in a nonhorizontal position provides that the viewing screen is nonperpendicular to the optical path.
Screen Mounting System
The screen mounting system includes the screen mount 82 connected to the rod 80 and a fixture or cooperating structure on the back of the screen 90.
The rod 80 is substantially rigid to eliminate vibration of the screen 90 relative to the video projector 20. In addition, there is at least some adjustability between the video projector 20 and the rod 80 to correct for minor misalignments. The adjustment includes both vertical and horizontal components. However, the horizontal range of motion is relatively small compared to the range of motion of the post 46 and articulated arm 48.
In the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, the screen mount 82 includes a magnetic socket mechanism 84. A plastic encapsulated rectangular magnet 86 is mounted onto the rod 80 and is inclined to the optimal viewing position. The viewing screen 90 includes a socket 92 having a corresponding periphery, wherein the socket includes an embedded layer of steel or other magnetically active material 94. The rectangular shape of the encapsulated magnet 86 matches the shape of the socket 92 so that the screen 90 is easily and accurately placed in the optimal viewing position. The attraction between the magnet 86 and the steel is sufficient to retain the screen 90 in operable position. However, the magnetic attraction is sufficiently small so that if the patient inadvertently contacts the screen 90, the screen with readily disengage to prevent injury. Alternatively, the screen 90 may include spring biased members or a pocket, recess or flange which cooperatively mates with a corresponding structure on the screen mount 82 to releasably and operatively retain the screen relative to the rod 80. In the second preferred embodiment of the screen mount shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, the screen 90 includes an aperture and depending stabilizing flanges 89 which mate with a screen mount stop on the rod 80.
Although the present invention is described in terms of endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery, the invention is applicable to any procedure where it is useful to display information adjacent the viewer and the surgical field. The information can be displayed in a video format and include x-rays, ultrasonic or topographic images and vital signs information. As employed for endoscopic surgery, the location, height and orientation of the viewing screen 90 are preferably set for the surgical team prior to surgery. The articulating arm 48 or adjusting track 52 and counterbalanced ann 56 permit locating the viewing screen 90 horizontally and adjusting the vertical control in arm 48 or arm 56 permits the desired orientation of the viewing screen 90. Preferably, the viewing screen 90 is oriented so that the direction of motion in the projected image on the screen directly corresponds to the direction of motion in the surgical field 16. In addition, the viewing screen 90 is located within arms length (approximately three feet) of the surgical field 16 and below eye level of the viewer. While the viewing screen 90 is optimally located adjacent to and at the same vertical elevation as the surgical field 16, the viewing screen may be intermediate the surgical field and eye level of the viewer. In addition, the viewing screen 90 is sufficiently near the surgical field so that a surgeon working in the surgical field which is projected upon the viewing screen 90 can readily contact the viewing screen to identify a portion of the surgical field.
An active video signal and standard AC electrical power inputs are connected to the video projector 20 from the gathering system 8 and converter 4. The active video signal may come from the endoscope or an other image generating mechanism trained on a portion of the surgical field 16. The video projector 20 transfers the electrical video signal into an optical image and projects the optical image along the optical path 12 to the projection optic 60. The image size and focus are set by the details of the projection optic 60 so that they match the viewing screen size and location. Any observed keystoning, a trapezoidal shaping of the image caused by the tilt of the viewing screen relative to the optical path, is corrected at installation by an electronic adjustment of the video projector 20. Alternatively, keystoning can be corrected in the projection optic 60 by including anti-keystoning optical design principles well known in the art.
While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown and described with particularity, it will be appreciated that various changes and modifications may suggest themselves to one having ordinary skill in the art upon being apprised of the present invention. It is intended to encompass all such changes and modifications as fall within the scope and spirit of the appended claims.

Price of Notoriety: Sketch That Roiled Muslims Is for Sale
Cartoonist Is in Hiding Amid Death Threats; Auctioneers Take a Pass
AARHUS, Denmark -- Kurt Westergaard is in hiding from Islamic militants who want him dead. Now, the Danish cartoonist says he's ready to part with the source of his travails, a small ink sketch of the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb in his turban.
But first there is the ticklish question of price.
"I would like to think that it has some value," says Mr. Westergaard, the 72-year-old creator of one of the world's most famous cartoons and one that inflamed Muslims world-wide. "It is a symbol of democracy and freedom of expression. I think I should have a little money for this," he says.
The drawing is locked in a bank vault while the cartoonist shuttles between temporary havens the Danish secret police have found for him around this blustery port city. His is by far the best known of 12 Muhammad-related cartoons published in September 2005 by Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. But how do you fix the value of something that auction houses won't touch, that museums won't hang on their walls and that still inspires murderous passions?
Two weeks ago, Danish authorities said they had foiled a plot to kill Mr. Westergaard in his home. Seventeen Danish newspapers, outraged and eager to show solidarity, reprinted his drawing. Muslims again took to the streets. Iran and others demanded an apology. "I always had a feeling this cartoon crisis would not end," says Mr. Westergaard. "Now I know."
Yet the new round of trouble may only increase the cartoon's worth eventually. "Things gain value from public interest and history," notes Sebastian Lerche, a director of Denmark's biggest auction house, Bruun Rasmussen. He is quick to add he has no interest in testing the market: "We see no point in offending millions of people," he says.
Some Muslims here want the bomb-in-a-turban drawing destroyed. Salah Suleiman, an activist in a mosque that helped whip up the fury over it in early 2006, delights in the artist's troubles and says no amount of money can save him from God's wrath: "He is living like a rat.... He is living in hell already."
Mr. Westergaard's wife, a retired kindergarten teacher, has also suggested destruction, by selling the cartoon to a wealthy Arab who "can then burn it in the central square in Mecca." Mr. Westergaard says he likes the idea of getting money from an oil sheik but would prefer the cartoon stay intact and in Denmark.
Mr. Westergaard says he never intended his drawing to rile Muslims, only to mock extremists who push a deformed reading of their faith. But while arguments rage over whether his cartoon is intolerably offensive or an emblem of free speech, there's no doubt of the prominence it has achieved. Though shunned by most major U.S. publications, it has been reprinted widely in Europe, plastered across the Internet and put on T-shirts. (See the drawing.)
Flemming Rose, culture editor of the Danish paper that first ran the cartoon, compares it to a famous photo of Che Guevara in a beret and to Andy Warhol's pop-art portrait of Marilyn Monroe. "It is a great cultural icon of the 21st century," he says.
Mr. Rose thinks the cartoonist is right to expect compensation beyond the $150 or so he got from his newspaper and about $800 more in Danish reprint fees. It's like a "super hit in the music industry," the editor says: "If you create a hit you get paid."
The Front-Runner
So far, though, the front-runner to acquire this and other Muhammad cartoons is Denmark's Royal Library, which would like to get them free. The library takes no view of the merits of the cartoons and wouldn't put them on display anytime soon. But the institution, whose holdings range from manuscripts of Hans Christian Andersen and Soren Kierkegaard to Scandinavian porn, says it has an obligation to try to acquire items of significance for future generations.
The library says it's in talks with Denmark's Cartoonists Association about acquiring the drawings. The library might be able to get some money for payment, but "this is not the time for big checks," says a spokeswoman, Jytte Kjaergaard, adding that the library won't get into a bidding contest with "capitalist sharks."
Mr. Lerche, the auctioneer, says it's "pure guesswork" what Mr. Westergaard's drawing is worth. A less-famed Muhammad cartoon sold for around $2,900 in an Internet auction, but that was in late 2005, before the global uproar. The artist in that case donated the cash, which came from an anonymous buyer, to earthquake relief in Pakistan.
In an event last year at the Reagan Library in California, Mr. Rose, the Danish culture editor, saw the cartoons' selling power. He autographed posters featuring his newspaper's original cartoon edition, which sold out in minutes for $1,000 apiece.
Money has played a role on the other side of the barricades, too. When Muslims started burning Danish flags and ransacking Danish property in early 2006, extremists joined in a bidding war to get Mr. Westergaard killed. The bounties they offered ranged from a new car to a million dollars.
The cartoonist continued going to work at his small newspaper office, piled with old papers and empty coffee cups. But last November, the danger became real. Denmark's security service uncovered a group it said had diagrams of Mr. Westergaard's house and apparently planned to slit his throat as he slept.
The service offered to send him and his wife on a Caribbean cruise. He declined. "I'm an old man with a stiff neck. I can't bow my head to anyone," he says. Police offered a guard dog. His wife didn't like the idea.
The police moved the couple to a safe place, and agents took over their house in hopes of catching the plotters. When no attack came, police picked up the alleged conspirators, two Tunisians and a Moroccan-born Danish national. The two who aren't Danish citizens are to be deported.
Security Risk
Mr. Westergaard is still in hiding, though he isn't difficult to spot: He wears bright red trousers, red socks and a red scarf. A hotel where he had taken refuge judged him a security risk and demanded he check out.
He hasn't set a price for the drawing that caused all this grief. He says his aim isn't to get rich but to gain recognition for his work and generate a bit of cash for his children and grandchildren.
He has tried to protect his intellectual property, but without much success. Aided by his brother-in-law, a lawyer, he went after an outfit in Holland hawking clothing adorned with his drawing, but the owner vanished. Attempts to find a copyright violator in Germany also fizzled.
"I suppose this is capitalism," he sighs. "You create something and then others exploit it."
The cartoon that now may have him on the run for life is one that Mr. Westergaard, in 2005, did in an hour. "It was just another day at the office," he says.

Report: Drug-Sniffing Dogs Are Wrong More Often Than Right
The Chicago Tribune sifted through three years worth of cases in which law enforcement used dogs to sniff out drugs in cars in suburban Chicago. According to the analysis, officers found drugs or paraphernalia in only 44 percent of cases in which the dogs had alerted them.
When the driver was Latino, the dogs were right just just 27 percent of the time. The paper explains:
Dog-handling officers and trainers argue the canine teams' accuracy shouldn't be measured in the number of alerts that turn up drugs. They said the scent of drugs or paraphernalia can linger in a car after drugs are used or sold, and the dogs' noses are so sensitive they can pick up residue from drugs that can no longer be found in a car.
The Tribune spoke to a few dog experts and they almost universally blamed the handlers:
Dog handlers can accidentally cue alerts from their dogs by leading them too slowly or too many times around a vehicle, said Lawrence Myers, an Auburn University professor who studies detector dogs. Myers pointed to the "Clever Hans" phenomenon in the early 1900s, named after a horse whose owner claimed the animal could read and do math before a psychologist determined the horse was actually responding to his master's unwitting cues.
Training is the key to eliminating accidental cues and false alerts, said Paul Waggoner of Auburn's detector-dog research program.
"Is there a potential for handlers to cue these dogs to alert?" he asked. "The answer is a big, resounding yes."
That might explain the 27 percent accuracy rate the Tribune found when cops stopped Hispanics. Latino activists quoted by paper said this was yet another indicator of racial profiling.

Cocoa Martini — three Seattle women who made the switch to vocal jazz in midcareer — sing at the Triple Door Dec. 13.
The concept behind the vocal jazz group Cocoa Martini seems both familiar and novel, three women who sing songs that most of us know well, backed by a quartet.
When performing, the three singers, who straddle age 50, dress in elegant, evening dresses and take turns singing most of the songs, harmonizing on about a third of them, taking care in between to joke, address the audience and talk about their experience with the music.
Familiar, because the formula is tried and true and the songs easy to connect with. Novel, because it seems jazz is seldom presented this way anymore.
The members of Cocoa Martini, who will perform Sunday night at 7 at the Triple Door for the third time in three years, admit to tapping into a nostalgia for the kind of songs they sing and the way they sing them.

- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal

Most Read Stories
"Jazz artists performing now are so technically talented and highly educated in the art form and science of jazz, and they're taking it to a very complex level, which by itself is very intriguing and compelling," said Kimberly Reason, one of the original members of Cocoa Martini.
"However, I've heard many times that jazz is becoming too cerebral and is losing some of its audience. We want to bring it back."
The trio will be accompanied Sunday by pianist Bill Anschell, drummer Greg Williamson, bassist Doug Miller and woodwind player Bernie Jacobs.
As African-American women in jazz, Reason, Karen Shivers and Kay Bailey also speak of feeling underrepresented in Seattle, where the vast majority of prominent musicians are white men.
The circuitous route the singers took to the stage also makes them unique. All three discovered music early in life but did not act on their aspirations until they were well into adulthood and their careers.
Shivers ran a hospice; Reason was an executive at Macy's; Bailey owned a hair salon and clothing business.
Reason and Bailey took a rafting trip 15 years ago on the Deschutes River during which they shared their mutual dream of singing professionally. They promised each other to act on that dream.
About the same time Shivers — who worked for years as the executive director of the Community Hospice of the Northwest — made a serious assessment of her life.
She wanted to sing, and the urge nagged at her for a year before she finally worked up the courage to walk into the Harbor Inn restaurant in Gig Harbor, where she ended up singing, without pay, every weekend for the next two years with pianist Bud Schultz.
"When I walked in," Shivers said, "I was hoping and praying he'd say no; I was scared to death. I didn't want to change my life. I didn't want to pay the price."
"You don't know what's going to happen when you make a change," Bailey said. "You just decide you want to do it. I still don't have any real goals. I don't know if that's bad or good. What I'm doing is just taking a ride with these ladies. And I'm doing what I really love at this point in my life."

Iowa City Travel Guide: 120 reviews and 192 photos
You won't find any tall buildings here! Iowa City is home to the University of Iowa, reknowned in part for its engineering program. The town itself, right next to the university, is almost kind of quaint, with a few shops and restaurants, and of course college bookstores and other places catering to the students. The town has an old feeling as you drive through. It's clean and nice... almost seems slower than most cities! :)

I am trying to install Office Enterprises 2007 on my system since last 2 days but yet unsuccessful. First day when I started the installation it uses to get stuck with the error saying Setup cannot find Enterprise.WW\EnterpriseWW.msi. Browse to a valid installation source and then click OK.
I tried to search solution for this on internet and found a place saying to run the following commands in command prompt:
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\msxml2.dll
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\msxml3.dll
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\msxml4.dll
Well I did the same, restarted my computer and later when tried to run the installation, the problem remained but the error message got changed. Now it was telling "Setup cannot find Proofing.en-us\Proof.es\Proof.cab. Browse to a valid installation source and then click OK." I tried searching this file and found it on my CD. Pointed the installer to the same but still it was giving me the same error.
Hence I copied the folder to my desktop and pointed installer to the same, this time it says "Invalid Location". Any help please.

Quantitative easing, or the willy-nilly printing of money, supposedly started in September of 2012 at the rate of 40 billion a month. Then in December, another 45 billion in money printing was supposed to kick off. By now, we should have added at least 200 billion to the Federal reserve balance sheet.
The balance sheet has shown some increase, but only about 100 billion dollars worth. It seems that the first half of the month is spent buying, while the second half of the month is spent selling, basically holding the line. In fact, over the past year, the Federal Reserve Balance sheet has been totally flat; $2.92 Trillion in January 2012 and $2.92 Trillion today.
People worried about rampant money printing (like me), should be a little surprised to see the Fed's balance sheet flatlining like that (and believe me, I am suprised).
QE1 and QE2 are clearly visible, but QE3 and QE4 are almost undetectable.
So what gives?
The impact of unrestrained money-printing is unquestionably recognized by professional central bankers, they MUST know this. After having witnessed the basically-zero effect of the first two rounds of money printing, its entirely possible that guys like Bernanke are having second thoughts about the supposedly positive effect of money printing, and are unwilling to risk further debasement of the currency.
There is another possibility, since the Fed is composed of a large number of clever dudes; they may be using creative accounting to hide the rapidly increasing money supply.
So, heres their balance sheet with week over week changes.
It appears they are basically shuffling stuff around to fund their 85 billion a month in purchase. The big move was selling 95 billion in central bank liquidity swaps to buy 88 billion in mortgage backed securities.
A central bank liquidity swap is where a central bank (lets say Estonia), sells a bunch of its currency to the Fed in exchange for dollars. That is to say, the Fed buys their dollars, and this shows up as an increase in their assets. At a later date, Estonia buys their money back, reducing the balance sheet, reducing the balance sheet.
So, as our loans to foreign countries mature, we shift the loans to our domestic banks to purchase mortgage securities, with no net increase in the money supply. It seems like this should raise foreign interest rates while dropping domestic interest rates.
I'll need to have a look at the chief beneficiaries of the mortgage security purchases to see where that 88 billion a month is really going, but my suspicion is that they are going to Treasuries, since that is the gentleman's agreement between the Fed and the megabanks. So, foreign central bank interest rates may increase to keep US government borrowing rates low.
So, without being immediately, brazenly inflationary, the Fed seems to be continuing the game of transferring its printed money to the Federal government via the megabanks. Nothing new here, though the QE program appears to be a transfer program, rather than a money-printing operation, which should help keep a lid on inflation.

Dark warrior by SARYTHWatch
long time to do personal work. this piece for my free time...Dark warrior
The first thing that got my attention was the ground, giving the overall feel of the picture very chaotic. the contrast of the warriors colouring and armour sets him apart almost perfectly, mixing the strong bold oranges reds and black,with the cold and armour colours. the final upside on this picture is the movement it has, again with the ground it gives off a sense of disruption, chaos and anger. The warriors movements are in perfect balance to this, with his arms well proportioned and the chains adding another depth of balance too, the only thing i would pick on is his head,and how it seems as if it doesnt really fit with the body its on, not proportion wise, just that,the colouring doesnt mix well and it feels like he should be looking at something,rather than staring away from his nearest opponent..thank you for reading
The Artist thought this was FAIR
35 out of 37 deviants thought this was fair.
Fantastic and creepy !
Wow !
BADASS work!!!
awesome work!
Hoo-Lee-Shizz... awesome.
Great atmosphere
This is super cool! I dunno if I like the blood splatters though, it kinda cheapens it.
nice work
Mayhem and bloodshed - ruining mankinds days since forever!
Aye, flail & hooks
Woahhhh!! Awesome!!
One of the best Thailand digital artist I ever seen so far. Love your work. Please keep sharing your awesome works. Anyway, his face looking at nothing is very annoying me because the eyes leading is almost completed, I started to look at the ground first because the fire catch my eyes then lead me to the head on the ground then from his leg up to his body then follow his head direction lead to the Dark warrior after I saw overall of him, I follower his eyes direction and got stuck...:/
Immediately gives the viewer the feel of the chaos, terror and violence of combat. Amazing colors, the debris flying in the air and the flames. The imposing main character has an aura of invincibility. The shading and composition is good. This could easily be a book cover or a stand alone piece in a museum. Excellent work!
his head looks like a medevil version of scarecrow from batman but he looks epic well done!!!
a boss!
beautiful piece
Excuse me while i destroy my tablet and pen... out of Pure jealousy of your abilities XD
creepy but nice and impressive.
Looks brilliant, epic, and bad-ass for sure. Love the chains and the armor. Only constructive criticism is that while the torso looks great, it does not read as armor. It looks like flexible, naked muscles... much like a super-hero. Armor would not flex in quite that way and its blue tone stands out from the more grey and rigid looking shoulder plates and bits about his hips.
Even so, it looks great!
Even so, it looks great!
epic as hell , makes me wish i could be hiim XD
what a badass.
that rocks so very very much!
Well ... impressive and shocking , stilysed , and make me remember a mcfarline toy . But the hole image is much a proffessional work .
Really awesome.
Great work, he's actually scary.
Really Nice work great composition the lighting from the fire is spot on this is one of the best I have seen on here ...Epic

i love the armour and the background, dont really like the mask or helmet
amazing!!!! fabulous
cool very very cool
astig,,very nice,
Oh yeh, that is brilliant,
wow so much detail and such epic composition. Very nice work!

\m/ !BRUTAL! \m/

Equus & Jack's Lounge Restaurant Review: Chef Dean Corbett's original upscale establishment, Equus, merged with its ever-popular bar, Jack's Lounge, to create a series of inviting rooms in which patrons can sip cocktails in the comfort of luxurious sofas and chairs as they enjoy conversation and out-of-the ordinary bar food. Tempura fried squash frites, crispy calamari with olive tapenade, or Jack's signature nachos are small bites to share. They might be on the appetizer list, but both red beans and rice and lamb loin with orzo make fine late night or light dining. Or consider adding chicken, shrimp or crab cakes to any of the salads. Hardier appetites will find satisfaction with the crispy fried chicken served with whipped potatoes, braised kale, cornbread and pepper gravy. The pork shank comes with mushroom bread pudding. Shrimp Jenkins, the restaurant's signature item, is a spicy-sweet dish of fried shrimp in Creole lemon-bourbon sauce. The wine list offers numerous selections by the glass, and draws most of its offerings from California, although other wine-growing regions are represented. A reserve list is available. Amicable staff greet regulars by name and seldom allow cocktail, wine or beer glasses to remain empty. The stand-out dessert is the light-as-foam chess cake.

Although I consider myself to be a bioethicist, healthcare ethics educator, counselor at law and consultant, prior to returning to an academic setting, I practiced as a trial attorney with an emphasis in patient advocacy, bioethical, and biotechnology issues.
I currently hold a faculty appointment at the Alden March Bioethics Institute, Albany Medical Center; I am also a Fellow at the Institute for Emerging Technologies and a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation.
My other honors include an appointment as a Senior Fellow at the American Medical Association's Institute for Ethics, and being named a Women's Bioethics Scholar. My research encompasses the legal, ethical, and social impact of emerging healthcare technologies, and evolving notions of legal personhood.
I would like to thank my co-counsel, Mark Senter of Dallas, Texas for his amazing lawyering skills, negotiation tactics and confidence; and I would like thank our client, Mr. Collins, who so graciously agreed to be the subject of discussion in this article.
In this article, I give a real-life case study (in which I was an attorney of record) where human machine mergers bring up several legal and ethical issues, including disability rights. I review some of the literature on this and discuss different practical ways practicing attorneys may approach the issues. The names have been changed to protect the privacy of the parties.
A. Background
Mr. Collins is a 6 foot, 6 inch, 63-year-old disabled Vietnam veteran; he is an incomplete quadriplegic and classified as 100% disabled. He has had several laminectomies and spinal fusions from C-2 to C-6. In other words, he has no functional use of either of his legs and his left arm, and very limited use of his right arm.
He requires assistance to perform bathing and lower body dressing functions, for bowel and bladder care, and for transfers. He cannot use a manual wheelchair for any significant length of time, because his condition is such that if he should slip in his chair, he could fall into a position where he would be unable to breath. He is dependent upon a fully functional powered mobility assistance device ("MAD"), which can recline and protect him against hypotensive episodes and protect his legs from dragging along the ground.
Because Mr. Collins acquired this injury in service to his country, the Department of Veterans Affairs ("VA") has provided him with a MAD specifically designed for him.
In October 2009, Mr. Collins was a passenger on a Allways Airlines flight from Miami to San Juan, Puerto Rico. His MAD, which weighs approximately 450 pounds, was damaged in transit. When Mr. Collins was given his chair, it was no longer functional.
The personnel from Allways Airlines were very apologetic and explained that the chair must have been dropped accidentally; they reassured Mr. Collins that his "wheelchair" would be fixed promptly. It wasn't until December 2010 that an engineer hired by Allways Airlines examined the MAD and condemned it. Mr. Collins did not receive his replacement MAD until October 1, 2010, eleven months later. He is confined to his home and essentially bedridden for eleven months.

a longbow.....currently working on the limbs and tillering.
Hoping for a final draw weight around 45#, but I'll be happy with anything between 40# and 50#
What you got going on?
1 bronze, 0 silver, 1 gold
Cool project! I suck at shooting arrows, but I love doing it
Nothing going on in my neck of the woods, except for our move to Alberta. No time for any other projects.
Oh wow.. I've been procrastinating on my long bow project >.< But seeing you do it is kind of inspiring, right now though I'm more on a fishing kick.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Is that a D section English longbow or an American flat section bow.
What kind of wood?
The few, the proud, the likely insane, Metro-Atlanta bicycle commuters.
Although yew was the prefered wood, the English did use other wood such as ash when necessary. My ELB is laminated yew and lemonwod. I would love to have a yew self-bow but they are $500 and up. Mine pulls 65 lbs. I made some traditional styled arrows with bodkin points.
Pobably going to try to make a 3 group flemish twist bowstring for it.
1 bronze, 0 silver, 1 gold
Nice looking bow so far. I have a pile of Osage Orange I got quite a few years ago with plans to make a few bows. Never got to it. I may have to budget some time for a winter project.
Arrow spine weights are based on a traditional recurve bow. An ELB having no arrow shelf, the arrow is deflected more than such a recurve. Don't be surprized to get better results with a more flexible arrow. This works best with straight fletching (non-helix).
That said, I'm going to cut an arrow shelf and 3 or 4" sight window. I won't be able to get a center shot, but it should be closer than shooting off the hand.
1 bronze, 0 silver, 1 gold
It's slow going on this project since a) working only with hand tools and b) only have a couple hours at a time to work on itl
However, I finally got it tillered enough to brace it.
the left limb is still stiffer then the one on the right, but that's not a terrible thing. I want the bow to have a slight positive tiller since the arrow shelf will be about 3/4 inch above center.
1 bronze, 0 silver, 1 gold
Very cool and inspiring.. I've been putting off making a bow for quite a while now. Is the hand tools only thing a choice?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Looks cool.
Heres something you can do with it when you are done. A video of Bicycle archery, shooting while riding.
And here's your N+1, the Cogburn Outdoors CB4..
Red oak?......The only think I can do with red oak is to cook tri tip over them.
Cool project though....I love shooting arrows too, but suck at it.
Well, the upper limb developed a hinge that I can't get out. The bow's about 40lbs draw at 26" and I'm just going to shoot it till it fails. Good learning experience. I'll make another one when this one fails. Maybe try to talk Allen into cutting down a hickory stave to make a bow out of.

Wheelchair bound and do passive ROM?
Does anyone here who is wheelchair bound do passive Range of Motion (ROM) exercises?
My husband started using a WC this year and can only stand briefly and still transfer. I've heard that ROM can prevent contractures. Is anyone here doing them or have a PT come to their home?
hi skyeblue, i do rom with freeweights and with exercise bands both. they really seem to help out.hunterd/HuntOP/Dave

I used to have Pt come and they made suggestions that the home health aides do now-- I get them doing my legs since I too can do standing and transferring so they do my legs as I have little control of them(they do it twice a week with my bath)
I do my upper torso my self and do them every day for the most part. it has kept me limber but the added benefit is that my spasticity has decreased with the exercising

"Gurnee, Illinois -- Classic Chicago Suburbia :)" Top 5 Page for this destination Gurnee by londonlover
Gurnee Travel Guide: 48 reviews and 66 photos
Gurnee is, I believe, one of the fastest-growing towns in the USA. This, however, is not exactly its greatest virtue. Living adjacent to this "village," I can tell you it's overgrown, and traffic is a nightmare basically around the clock. It can easily take 15 minutes to travel a mile in the largest shopping district! Gurnee is one of the biggest villages in Lake County, the county just north of Cook County (Chicago). You may stay here to see one of the area attractions, listed below.
Having said that, Gurnee is not all bad. The Gurnee Mills Outlet Mall is a huge disappointment, in my opinion, for value and quality, but the surrounding strip malls have many better places to shop and eat. Gurnee is most famous, of course, as home to Six Flags Great America, one of the best roller coaster parks in the country!
FYI-- Gurnee is pronounced "Gur-ney" with the accent on the last syllable...not on the first as it's pronounced in the National Lampoon Christmas Vacation movie. :)
- Pros:You can shop and eat a lot here, and it's easily accessible from both Chicago and Milwaukee
- Cons:Traffic, traffic, traffic...did I say traffic? And cheap, overpriced outlet stores. :)
- In a nutshell:Worthwhile if you know where to go/what to do, a nightmare at rush hour!
