The disadvantage of using the <jsp:include> or the include directive is that we can only include the content or files which are the part of the current web application. But by using the jstl <c:import> we can also include those contents or files which are not a part of the current web application but lying somewhere outside the web application. So, the jstl <c:import> is more useful than the <jsp:include> .
In the example given below we are going import one file which is in the current web application. This tag works like the <jsp: include> but it is much more flexible and powerful. In this program we have used only one attribute of <c:import> that is url in which we will specify the path of the file which we want to import in our file. In the program we have also used the <c:param> core action tag which is a child of the <c:import>. The <c:param> takes two attributes, one is name and the second one is the value. The tag <c:param> is used to customize the thing which we want to include.
The code of the program is given below:
|<%@ taglib uri = "http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix = "c"%>
<title>Use of c:import in jstl</title>
<c:import url = "JSTLImportingDate.jsp">
<c:param name = "date" value = "
So Have you seen the date
"/>
|<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<title>This page is imported</title>
<c:import url = "Date.jsp"/>

The controller looks good, seems very functional, the software synth sounds fine, but it does not sound like a 6 oscillator synth by any stretch of the imagination. It would be nice to get the controller without the bundled software instruments for a lower price point.

Disease Proof
Freedom now equals freedom on down-the-road
Are you free from food addiction?
Are you free from hypertension medications and insulin?
Are you free from bypass surgery lurking around the corner?
Are you free from obesity and its accompanying diseases, aches and pains?
Are you free from the financial burdens of lost wages and expensive medical bills?
Eating a bowl of mixed greens & beans drizzled with a delicious nut-based dressing instead of a couple slices of pizza and can of soda may seem like a radical lifestyle change, but it really is a simple and cost effective solution to a very complicated problem; that being the loss of independence.
After the astronomical bills arrive in the mail who is going to pay them?
After the stroke who is going to tie the bib, feed, bathe, and even possibly change the diaper?
After degenerative disc disease has robbed mobility and peace, who is going to shop and prepare meals and soothe sleepless nights?
Paying the price today to be free from food addiction and accompanying diseases means enjoying the benefits of freedom on down-the-road.
I don't know about you, but I want to climb sand dunes and watch sunsets shimmer on water, and produce my best creative works ever in my latter years. I want to laugh and play with my grandchildren and their children. I want to gracefully grow old; not rot in the prison of disease.
This Fourth of July, along with the festivities, fireworks, and parades; one of the best ways that we can honor those who have sacrificed their lives for our nation's freedom is to commit or recommit to paying the price for our own personal freedoms!
Freedom now equals freedom on down-the-road.
Take it.
It's yours to enjoy!
Happy Fourth of July!

Very nice post...thank you for your encouragement. Since DF's nutritarian and exercise advice has become my way of life, I don't worry about little ills anymore. I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and not worry about cancer, heart disease, diabetes, blah, blah, or blah anymore. I'll spend my energy living.
It is hard to believe there is only one comment here. I
have printed this and read it now everyday. Freedom is "the bottom line". This is it. Nothing else matters.
Suite 408

May 23, 2012
The head coaching career of Arizona's Rick LaRose came to a close May 19 at the NCAA Southwest Regional in Norman, Okla.
Initially hired as the men's head water polo coach and assistant swim coach in 1973, LaRose guided the water polo program to four NCAA regional championships and three fifth-place finishes at the NCAA Championships. His teams were never ranked out of the top six nationally and produced five All-Americans and one United States Olympian. LaRose compiled a 154-37-2 (.803) record as the UA water polo head coach.
He took over the men's golf head coaching duties in 1978-79, and quickly established Arizona golf as one of the finest college golf programs in the country, guiding the men's squad to the 1992 NCAA title. LaRose began double-duty as the head coach for both the Arizona men's and women's programs (1996-98, 2010) and led the women to the 1996 NCAA title. He is the only coach in NCAA history to win both a men's (1992) and women's (1996) national championship.
His golf teams were ranked in the top 20 in 26 of those 34 seasons, including a string of eight consecutive years that the Cats were ranked in the top three nationally - 13 times at No. 1.
His Wildcats were at their best when it mattered most, making 24 trips to the NCAA postseason since 1987, including 21 consecutive berths in the NCAA Championships (1987-2007). Since the NCAA regional format was instituted in 1989, UA earned 23 berths in those 24 seasons.
LaRose's teams won two NCAA titles, seven NCAA regional championships, four Pac-10 crowns and three Rolex Match Play titles. He is also the only one to produce both a men's and women's Rolex Match Play and Pac-10 championship teams. His finishes at the NCAAs not only include the 1992 men's and 1996 women's titles, but six third-place, two fifth-place and two sixth-place efforts.
Since 1978, LaRose's golf teams won 62 men's tournaments and 19 women's tourneys. He coached seven national players of the year, 11 Pac-10 Players of the Year, 68 All-Americans, 109 all-Pac-10 Conference performers, two United States Amateur winners (and three runner-ups), five United States Walker Cup players, a pair of Ryder Cup golfers, a U.S. President's Cup performer and three United States Publinx champions.
Eighteen of his pupils also have represented the U.S. in international collegiate competition.
LaRose was inducted into the Golf Coaches Association of America Hall of Fame on Jan. 22, 2003, and the Arizona Golf Hall of Fame on Nov. 23, 2009.
Last season, he surpassed the 6,000-win plateau in head-to-head competition.
What can you say about a coach who has won all there is to win with a legacy that stretches over four decades? Here are a few thoughts from several of LaRose's former players:
Larry Silveira, 1984-88
"I played for Rick LaRose in 1985, `86, `87, and `88, and he was definitely a great coach for us. I'm still in Arizona, and get to see him from time to time. Coach LaRose was definitely a big self-motivator, and during my time at Arizona he really made me that way, which has helped me even after I moved on from the team."
Rob McIver, 1990-93
"Coach LaRose was a great influence on me at Arizona. Being part of the 1992 national championship team was a tremendous experience. He assembled a great squad, and was great at putting us together in the right place at the right time. He's always been a very results-oriented guy, and in the professional world, it's all about results and how you get them. It's about what you do going forward, not what you did in the past."
David Berganio, 1989-93
"Coach LaRose was really the only guy to take a chance on me. I was a walk-on out of Los Angeles with no background with the AJGA because I was strapped financially. There were so many schools that wouldn't take a chance on me, but he did. He let me be myself, which turned out to be a first-team All American. I couldn't see myself playing for any other coach than LaRose. He didn't care that we were a group of guys with funky golf swings. During the 1991-93 seasons, we had a really strong team, and coach knew how to make all of our personalities jell so we could be successful."

Build a Walled Stone Patio
When planning an outdoor dining room, consider the paving material and how it will be laid. A larger space may be paved with several materials, which would be too busy for a small space. Here, cut bluestone pavers of different sizes are laid in a random pattern; they are dry set in keeping with the informal garden, and volunteer flowers and moss creep up through the joints. A low perimeter wall made from concrete block and finished with stucco and a bluestone cap further defines the 14-by-18-foot paved area.
To create a sense of privacy, this woodland edge of trees, shrubs, ferns, and shade-loving ground covers creates a buffer, while letting light and air filter through. To maintain views into the front and back yards, those edges of the patio are planted with medium-height flowering shrubs, including hydrangea, summersweet, and azalea. Terra-cotta pots planted with herbs (which can be clipped for cooking), gray-leaved licorice plant, million bells, and black-eyed Susan vine provide even more color and textural interest.

Get your craft on with these easy do-it-yourself bowls that can be used as accents within your house. Recycle rope, doilies, newspaper or old dishes and re-invent them into new stylish pieces that you can display on your bookcase, coffee table or desk.
Rope bowl by the Pinterest Project
Using a bowl to create the shape wrap the rope around the bowl hot glue the rope onto itself so that the rope wraps around the bowl fully. Cut off the excess rope and allow the glue to fully dry before using it. For detailed instructions see the Pinterest Project.
Lace doily bowls by Apartment Therapy
Take a doily and soak it in a mixture of half white glue and half water. Place the doily over the bottom of a bowl and allow the doily to fully dry. Once dried the doily can be taken off the bowl and it will retain its shape. For instructions on how to dye your doily bowl see Apartment Therapy for details.
Painted ceramic bowls by Creature Comforts
Using a plain white bowl, ceramic paint and a flat brush begin by painting from the inside of the bowl in a straight line to the inside edge of the bowl. Continue painting upwards strokes around the bowl and either air dry or bake in the oven depending on the instructions on the paint. For more information see Creature Comforts blog.
Gold paper bowl by Two Zero One
Inflate a balloon and glue small pieces of newspaper around half the balloon using modge podge. Apply several layers of newspaper, allowing the paper to dry between layers. Once the bowl feels sturdy, deflate the balloon and begin painting the inside of the bowl using gold acrylic paint. After painting two coats of gold paint flip the bowl over and paint the outside of the bowl with two coats of black paint. For detailed instructions see Two Zero One.
Air dry clay bowl by Curbly
Using store bought air dry clay press the clay into a bowl you already own to create the shape. After half an hour remove the clay from the bowl and allow the clay to dry completely. Sand the bowl to remove any bumps and spray paint the bowl with your choice of paint color. For more instructions see Curbly.

SGI finally announces UltraViolet
The not-so-secret HPC that's going to bring SGI back to superiority as the premium SSI HPC provider has finally been announced: Ultraviolet.
UV features the fifth generation of the NUMAlink interconnect, offering a 15 GB/sec transfer rate, MPI offload capability in the UV hub chip, and direct access up to 16 TB of shared memory. The system can be configured with up to 2048 Nehalem-EX cores shipping Q2 next year from Intel in a single system image, and as with the 4700 multiple SSIs can be federated together while preserving the single global address space. When I was being briefed on the launch before the show, Jill Matzke, Altix product manager, reminded me that SGI has been very active in the Linux community: all the IP needed to make this shared-memory goodness work has been contributed back to the SUSE and Red Hat communities, so you can actually load a stock distro on your UV when it shows up, and everything will work.
Price and availability are still a bit fuzzy, as SGI is waiting for Intel to announce the new Nehalem chips that it uses, but it's great to see SGI rising back to HPC powerhouse status. I'll be meeting with SGI tomorrow afternoon and hope to get more details then.

A prompt, accurate, and complete diagnosis is critical to correctly assessing and treating cancer. Cancer patients should almost always obtain a second opinion and sometimes even a third. Chicago Blood Cancer Foundation, The American Cancer Society, the American Society of Clinical Pathologists, and most knowledgeable patient advocates recommend obtaining a second opinion for every cancer diagnosis. As a patient or caregiver, here are some things you should consider in connection with second opinions.
It is not enough just to obtain a second opinion. You must obtain a proper second opinion. First, a second opinion must be broad enough in scope. Generally, the second opinion should encompass the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment options, benefits and risks associated with the treatment recommendations. However, sometimes -- particularly for a patient dealing with recurrent or refractory disease -- the scope of the second opinion may be more tailored.
Second, the second opinion must have an adequate foundation. A second opinion that is predicated solely upon review of the medical and test reports alone often is insufficient. It is better to have the second doctor and institution review the actual pathology, interpret the scans and tests (in some cases take their own), run critical blood work, conduct a thorough physical examination, and take a complete medical history. This way, the second opinion will not only reflect interpretations of the second doctor from the tests, but also will detect possible errors or inadequacies in the pathology, blood work, and imaging (both the tests themselves and their interpretation). Generally, the doctor rendering the second opinion will obtain the records from the patient or directly from the institution. Providing the medical records and the first doctor's diagnosis and recommended plan has the clear advantages of providing information to the second doctor and eliminating duplication. It also can influence the second opinion. Sometimes, a patient may not wish to tell the second doctor what the first doctor has recommended until speaking with the doctor rendering the second opinion.
Selecting the right doctor and institution for the second opinion also is fundamentally important. It usually is best for the patient to select the doctor rendering the second opinion (after conducting research and obtaining input from other sources) as opposed to merely going to someone recommended by the first doctor. In Battling and Beating Cancer – The Cancer Survival Book, we have a chapter dedicated to selecting physicians and health care institutions. Usually it is best to obtain a second opinion from a second institution to avoid bias and to have another team review your pathology, diagnosis, and treatment options. We also generally going to a comprehensive cancer center or academic institution with extensive experience in the relevant cancer and treatments. Sometimes, patients will select a leading institution for the second opinion even if travel is required. This may allow you to not only have the initial input of that institution, but to have it involved in monitoring or even directing your care.
The effort and expense necessary to obtain a consultation can be rewarded by the comfort of knowing that an original diagnosis was indeed correct. When a second opinion produces a different diagnosis or treatment recommendation, at a minimum it provides you with information and options. It also may identify a misdiagnosis or incomplete diagnosis or produce a better treatment plan.
Where there are conflicting opinions or recommendations or if you are not comfortable with the opinions that you have received, you may want to seek the opinion from yet another doctor. Many medical institutions have tumor review boards and panels in which cases are presented to a group of doctors to obtain their input and thoughts regarding diagnosis, further work-up, and treatment.
Either way, cancer presents too great a danger to not get a second opinion. Further, with all of the emerging options and the fast pace of developments, you want to take advantage of available options and will be well-served by seeing another set of physicians. In selecting treatment options, consider any discipline bias that may exist. Physicians specializing in stem cell transplants, for example, may be more inclined to recommend a stem cell transplant. Make sure that you have explored your treatment options sufficiently before embarking upon treatment.
Most insurance plans cover second opinions, but check with your insurer to make sure it is covered and to ensure that you comply with any requirements and obtain any necessary approvals.
Keep in mind that obtaining a second option may not be a one-time event. Many patients have cancer that is a chronic condition. In view of the pace of developments, it is important to review options and obtain consultations periodically to ensure that you have up-to-date information.
Even if you are in the hands of a leading physician at a leading institution, you should obtain a second opinion. Your doctor should not take issue with your seeking a second opinion or pressure you to go to a particular doctor for the second opinion. Indeed, if your doctor discourages you from seeking a second opinion or appears to be offended by your request, you are likely in the wrong hands.
Once you are confident in the diagnosis, you have to make determinations regarding what treatment to undergo.

LAS VEGAS, Nev.— A packed house attended yesterday's panel discussion at Clean '07, "Solvent Options," to hear actual users discuss their experiences with perc and several alternative solvents — as well as another surprising announcement from the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute (DLI), formerly known as IFI.
"In light of the regulatory/political issues and media scrutiny of perc," Bill Fisher read from the association's new Review & Evaluation of Industry Solvents, DLI "believes that a member considering an investment in a new drycleaning system would be best advised to first consider alternative solvents."
The paper notes DLI's belief that most operations use perc responsibly today, and that it is a safe and highly effective method for cleaning clothes. Realities of regulation, contamination liability and media scrutiny, however, led the association to issue the case-by-case review of all available solvents.
"We looked at the solvents' limitations and the industry's need for guidance," Fisher said. "The intent is to provide the most critical information members need."
In the discussion, panelists discussed their experiences with perc, high-flashpoint hydrocarbons, liquid carbon dioxide, GreenEarth, wetcleaning and DrySolv.
Chris Edwards, operator of A Cleaner World in High Point, N.C., said he has experimented with GreenEarth and DF-2000, but his plant continues to use perc because "it is the best overall solvent we have found for cleaning clothes.
Representing hydrocarbons, Gary Dawson, operator of Belleair Bluffs Cleaners in Belleair Bluffs, Fla., reported longer run times but few additional issues. He also made no changes to his market positioning after switching from perc.
"I'm a drycleaner and I'm out to do a quality job no matter what solvent I use, and do it responsibly," he told the crowd. "Whether I use a given solvent or not, I'm giving you good, clean clothes."
Longtime liquid carbon dioxide user Tom Ustanik, operator of Lansing Cleaners in Lansing, Ill., noted the solvent's gentleness and that the dedicated machine's useful life can help offset its high initial cost. The solvent is best for operations doing a minimum of 1,800 lbs. per week, he said.
GreenEarth user Fran Sadler, of Medlin Davis Cleaners in Raleigh, N.C., picked the silicon solvent for its environmentally responsible positioning and is happy with its performance — particularly on trims. "GreenEarth has changed the way I clean," she says. "The embellishments I used to worry about are no longer a problem."
Joe Iannarelli, operator of Fi-Del Inc. in Bridgeville, Pa., uses the new n-propyl bromide solvent, DrySolv. He reported making only minor changes to his perc machine to use it, and comparable results. "It isn't a specialty solvent, and it isn't a 'cute' solvent," he said. "It's a workhorse solvent."
However, Fisher and others in the crowd stated concerns about n-propyl bromide. The chemical is reportedly prone to hydrolysis — meaning it can form corrosive acids when it comes into prolonged contact with free water. The solvent may also be considered a volatile organic compound (VOC) under certain state regulations, the DLI report says.
Finally, Tom Janik, owner of three operations based in Naples, Fla., New York City and Princeton, N.J., spoke about his experiences with wetcleaning as the "common thread" in his plants — which also use five other solvents.
Janik said an attempt to turn his high-volume operation into a 100% wetcleaning plant was a "departure" that might have been a viable in a smaller operation. It was a big bonus in marketing his business, though. "There are a lot of tree-huggers in Princeton," he said. "The solvent-free buzz is huge. I see a huge wave there."
'Solvent Options' Reveals New Position on Perc

Check out this story about a tailgating weekend in Knoxville over on SEC Sports Fan. Highlights include:
10:56 a.m. After a successful stint at the Tap Room (since we weren't asked to leave this time) we headed up to our old stomping grounds, the Longbranch Saloon, for our traditional PBR tall boy. After I ordered the beers, an LSU fan smiled, shook my hand and said, "You two are the only people under 60 years of age I have ever seen order a PBR." I offered to buy him one, and he politely refused, so I told Coach B, "For the first time in the history of the SEC, an LSU fan has turned down a free beer. Call hell and see what the temperature is."
There aren't hipsters in Baton Rouge? The boys also have this advice…
One thing I should mention to all SEC fans is to properly display your car flags. When driving to the game, always observe the two flag minimum. Flying only one flag makes you look like either a Yankee, or my third cousin Cliff, who likes to make his own leather belts.

I need to compute the position of a static object based on the distance to multiple fixed stations (it the same thing we do to calculate the GPS receiver position based on the satellites position).
I found this article with a nice algorithm withe an analytical solution based only on four fixed stations: Exact Solution of a Three Dimensional Hyperbolic Positioning System.
What I need to do is generalize this to multiple fixed stations (can be 8, 9, 13, or $n$). So I imagine it should be an inversion problem, but I couldn't formulate a matrix for it.
It comes to solve a set of equation of the form
$$ \begin{align} (x-x_1)^2+(y-y_1)^2+(z-z_1)^2-D_1^2 &= 0 \\ (x-x_2)^2+(y-y_2)^2+(z-z_2)^2-D_2^2 &= 0 \\ \vdots \\ (x-x_n)^2+(y-y_n)^2+(z-z_n)^2-D_n^2 &= 0 \\ \end{align} $$
where $x_i$, $y_i$, $z_i$, and $D_i$ are known, and we need to find $x$, $y$ and $z$.

text: Beckoning her man toward her, Leah Caprice undoes her red midriff top, revealing her red bra. She plays with her tits and bites her lips seductively, her blue eyes looking up mischievously. Her plaid schoolgirl skirt may look innocent, but she is wearing a garter belt underneath to hold up her black stockings. Stroking his cock off camera, her partner is horny and ready to fuck. He approaches her after she takes off her bra and forces her down on his hard dick. She sucks and jerks her man, her big tits bouncing, then stops and begs him to fuck her. He yanks off her panties and slides his cock into her wet slit while they both lay on their sides. Her pierced pussy gives this red head bad girl status. While getting pounded, she holds on to one breast, leaving the other one for her man to fondle. He grabs her breast then moves his hand up to her face and pushes his fingers into her mouth. She licks them off, and he takes them out of her mouth, pausing at her neck then going back to her hip. Getting on top, she smacks her booty against his stomach as she sticks his dick back in her pussy. She glides her finger up her slit and tastes her own juices before continuing to fuck him senseless.

Dave Douglas featuring Chris Potter: The Infinite
The Infinite
Dave Douglas Quintet
The Infinite (Bluebird/RCA 09026-63918-2RE1)
Chris Potter (tenor sax), Dave Douglas (trumpet),
Uri Caine (Fender Rhodes), James Genus (bass), Clarence Penn (drums).
Composed by Dave Douglas.
Recorded: New York, December 16-18, 2001
Rating: 86/100 (learn more)
This Dave Douglas composition is built on relatively simple harmonic and rhythmic material because like most of Douglas's pieces, its mood is central. During his stint in Douglas's group, Chris Potter demonstrated his imaginative improvisational approach in a setting that allowed more freedom than traditional jazz. His solo on this track consists of menacing gestures that frequently scream into the altissimo register of the tenor saxophone.

Forward Tracey Milburn was named College Soccer Online honorable mention All-American, as announced Thursday.
The post-season honor marks Milburns' third this season and her second of the week. Earlier this week, Milburn earned second team All-West honors by Soccer Buzz and in November she was named first-team All-Pac-10. The 5-9 junior from Moorpark helped lead the UCLA women's soccer team to a 15-5-1 record and a NCAA third round tournamment appearance. She scored 24 points this season, which ranked second on the team and eighth in the Pac-10.


text: The Kettubah, the ancient Jewish family-document, and perhaps the oldest legal text of a marriage contract, will be republished in a new and artistic form, it was announced by Solomon Lamport, treasurer of the Jewish National Fund of America. The Kettubah which, according to Jewish tradition, is read under the Chuppa is both a religious marriage license and a deed of endowment given by the groom to the bride wherein the husband undertakes to honor and provide for his future wife in accordance with ancient Jewish tradition. The text recording the wedding ceremony must be attested by two witnesses. Custom requires that it be read by the officiating Rabbi at the close of the ceremony.

In the summer of 2010, Twitter suggested I follow @mariancall. After a few clicks to her web pages and song samples, not only was I following her, but I had downloaded most of her albums from iTunes. A tweet about my new discovery resulted in a follow-back from the musician and a direct message with a personal "thank you."
Marian Call is a singer/song writer from Alaska. She works completely independently, writing, recording, and selling her music entirely on her own dime. She has toured North America and Europe. Her 2010/2011 tour was an epic journey to visit and perform in every US State and every Canadian Province. No tour bus. No record label. Just a Subaru and a limited run of CDs.
What makes Call different from other indi musicians? What had me downloading her tunes immediately was her unique use of pop culture themes. Her 2008 album Got to Fly opens with the song "I'll Still Be a Geek When No One Thinks It's Chic (Nerd Anthem)." The tune is a tight string of references woven into a list of topics and ideas that she truly loves. It sets the tone for an album inspired by Firefly and Battlestar Galactica. The references are subtle and support deeper ideas that are at the heart of each song. While not every collection in her catalogue is as sci-fi inspired as Got to Fly, many of songs that draw inspiration from literature, science, art, and the unique observations of an artist spending significant amounts of time on the road.
Call's concerts are intimate. Many of her appearances have been in venues like comic book stores and private homes. She is beginning to reach a momentum where the living room may no longer be big enough to accommodate her fans. And yet, she's still open to the one-on-one connection with each listener. In past concert appearances, she has taken the time to sign autographs and chat with patrons during intermissions and after concerts. If you have a question about her work, you can probably ask her in person.
Marian Call will be appearing in Arizona twice this week. Tonight a 7PM, she will be at the Unscrewed Improv Theater in Tucson (3244 E. Speedway Blvd., Tucson, AZ 85716). On Saturday at 8PM, she will be in Phoenix at Fiddler's Dream Coffee House (1702 E. Glendale Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85716). Both shows are all ages.

Objective: To assess 1) the health values and health ratings of seriously ill hospitalized patients, their surrogate decision makers, and their physicians; 2) the determinants of health values; and 3) whether health values change over time.
Design: Prospective, longitudinal, multicenter study.
Setting: 5 academic medical centers.
Participants: 1438 seriously ill patients with at least one of nine diseases who had a projected overall 6-month mortality rate of 50%; their surrogates; and their physicians.
Measurements: Time-tradeoff utilities (reflecting preferences for a shorter but healthy life) and health ratings.
Results: At study day 3, patients had a mean time-tradeoff utility of 0.73 ±0.32 (median [25th, 75th percentile], 0.92 [0.63, 1.0]), indicating that they equated living 1 year in their current state of health with living 8.8 months in excellent health. However, scores varied widely; 34.8% of patients were unwilling to exchange any time in their current state of health for a shorter life in excellent health (utility, 1.0), and 9.0% were willing to live 2 weeks or less in excellent health rather than 1 year in their current state of health (utility, 0.04). Health rating scores averaged 57.8 ±24.0 (median [25th percentile, 75th percentile], 60 (50, 75) on a scale of 0 (death) to 100 (perfect health). The patients' mean time-tradeoff score exceeded that of their paired surrogates (n = 1041) by 0.08 (P < 0.0001). Time-tradeoff scores were related to psychosocial well-being; health ratings; desire for resuscitation and extension of life rather than relief of pain and discomfort; degree of willingness to live with constant pain; and perceived prognosis for survival and independent functioning. Scores of surviving patients increased by an average of 0.06 after 2 months (P < 0.0001) and 0.08 after 6 months (P < 0.0001).
Conclusions: Health values of seriously ill patients vary widely, are higher than patients' surrogates believe, are related to few other preference and health status measures, and increase over time.
Differences are expressed as the fraction of a year of excellent health that the patient equated with 1 year in his or her current state of health minus the corresponding value estimated by the surrogate. A difference of zero indicates exact agreement between patient and surrogate. Positive values indicate that patients' time-tradeoff scores were higher; negative values indicate that they were lower.
An asterisk indicates a statistically significant difference ( < 0.05) between the scores of patients and their surrogates. ARF = acute respiratory failure; MOSF = multiorgan system failure; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CHF = congestive heart failure; Ca = cancer.

New tech gadgets say a lot about what is perceived of our tastes and lifestyle interests. And no better reflection is found in the attachment we show to our mobile devices, i.e. smart phones, kindles, ipads, tablets. Accordingly, this has spurred a growth market in accessories. Among them are grip type products, for usage in most places. The practical question, in knowing the purpose, albeit useful, goes to a willingness to carry and travel with them. Towards that point, you'll have to supply the means of doing so.
From the very onset, I can say the Strongarm Universal Mount, by Viatek, (http://viatekproducts.com/grab-it-universal-mount/) does work. However, the surface matters. On those of wood, the large bottom base did not work for me; nor did the small top base, on my Smartphone, an LGL35G. At minimum, it's just too small. For surfaces at a Laundromat, McDonald's, Burger King, and even the roof top, of a Honda Accord, in conjunction with my kindle, I found very good success. And truly, no adhesives are needed. The pivot can be made a mere slant or fully vertical.
Keeping the above in mind, how might it serve your needs? If you preference, to work with mobile devices, without having to physically handle, constantly, then the Universal Mount offers that opportunity. Also, something ideal among an audience while in a lounge setting, i.e. the local coffee pub, or a study room. Personally, it had we wishing I had a remote for my kindle. In addition, I see the chance to let my left hand do more touch screen tasks, being right-handed. No doubt, in these days of multi-tasking, there's a benefit to having free hands, even just one.
Continuing on, the instructions were adequate; but it was after a couple of tries, and a change in the base surface, and device, that I caught on to making the suctions stick. Also, I found it better to connect the top portion onto my kindle, and then plant the bottom piece. To reiterate, surfaces matter for this product. Hence, my first outings were not successful. Nonetheless, once you've get the right combination, the functionality is good and sturdy. Overall, the Strongarm Universal Mount, by Viatek, is simple in concept and workability. In a nutshell, as your technique and application gets better, you'll find, that ease and confidence, with it, grows. Mine certainly did.
Let me conclude, by saying, what I love about technology is the aim, to take enjoyment, for experiencing life, at a higher level. And to provide clarity, the commentary is not a focus toward advancement of learned educational environments; rather, more to practicality, about living, whether work, home, social, and all sorts of travel, across a wide spectrum. In a way, the case can be made, innovation is expansionary, not exclusionary; and although the tools are progressively intended, we do live in a society, with those, willing to taint them, for not so positive purposes; in essence, diminishing their otherwise true benefits.

One hot, cloudless day in July 2011, Phillip and Doris Smith sat in the living room of their ranch house on the high plains of the Texas panhandle and tried without much success to see into the future.
For 10 miserable months they had endured a searing drought that still gripped almost all of Texas and showed no sign of abating. Cattle ranchers and wheat farmers, the Smiths could do nothing but watch helplessly as their fields and pastures scorched and cracked while the months crawled by with no rain. It was easy to see where wildfires had ripped across the high plains weeks earlier, because those fields were still black. And now there was nothing left to feed the cattle.
"I've sold cows," Phillip said. "We know we're going to sell more cows. We just don't know when we're going to bite the bullet." He shook his head. "It's just where we don't know what we're going to do."
