Why does this project exist?
In the summer of 2009 I was tasked with writing a text-based application that provided the same functionality as Virtual Machine Manager. I chose to do the development in Python and, after looking around, settled on Newt as the UI library.
But the problem I had was in developing more complex applications. So I ended up developing a very straight forward framework for apps based on cards, where a card represents a screen. And the application itself was successfully completed.
A few months later I started working on another similar project and decided to break the framework out and make it a separate, reusable framework. Hence, Newt Syrup was born!
Why Newt "Syrup"?
I was googling for a name for the project, and wanted it to be a reference to newts.I googled for, I think, "newt symbiote" and found a page that described creatures that live symbiotically with newts and other aquatic life. And one thing on the page was a jelly mass of algae that was described as a "syrup". And seeing how weird the name "newt syrup" sounded, I decided that it was the perfect name for the project.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Sacramento State's Michelle Evers was one of just 20 freshmen rowers from across the nation to be selected to the 2012 USRowing Women's Freshman Camp.
Hosted by the University of Washington from June 11-17 in Seattle, the camp is geared toward athletes with elite level potential and aspirations, but have only one or two years of rowing experience. The goal of the camp is to expose the athlete to the U.S. National Team experience training 2-3 times per day, rowing in many boat categories, learning technical and physiological basics and training with athletes of a similar caliber.
Evers, who is a true freshman from Cave Creek, Ariz., has competed with Sacramento State's top boat (varsity eight) in all six spring races thus far - five times in the five seat, once in the seven seat. She recently posted a 7:13 on the 2,000-meter ergometer test, which is the fifth fastest mark on the squad despite being a novice.
A 2011 graduate of Cactus Shadows High School in Cave Creek, Evers came to Sacramento State with less than one year's experience of rowing gained while competing for the Tempe Town Lake Rowing Club.
Evers and the Hornets return to the water this Saturday, April 21, when the team faces UC Davis at the Port of Sacramento. Racing begins at 8 a.m.
* USRowing is a nonprofit organization recognized by the United States Olympic Committee as the governing body for the sport of rowing in the United States.

J.P. Morgan Cazenove Changes Leadership as Mayhew Shifts Roles
By David Benoit
J.P. Morgan appointed a new leader to its London-based Cazenove investment banking unit, with the well-known rainmaker David Mayhew stepping back to work with clients.
Taking over the London operations will be Tim Wise, another former Cazenove banker. The unit had been created first as a joint-venture in 2004 before J.P. Morgan bought out Cazenove Group in 2009.
Mayhew had been the among group's biggest and best-known bankers, cementing his role in the U.K. investment world as a key player in advising the government on the recapitalization of the U.K.'s banks amid the crisis in 2008.
He also sat on the board of mining behemoth Rio Tinto as it went through its back and forth with Australian rival BHP Billiton when BHP tried a hostile $131.57 billion takeover attempt in 2007.
Mayhew had been chairman of Cazenove, one of the last surviving independent U.K. brokerages, when he signed the deal to form the joint-venture with J.P. Morgan's investment banking operations.
"With J.P. Morgan Cazenove in such good form, I am looking forward to spending more time with our clients," Mayhew said in a statement.
He will report directly to Jes Staley, the head of J.P. Morgan's investment banking and international operations.
Wise, meanwhile, will move to chairman from deputy chairman of J.P. Morgan Cazenove, reporting to Emilio Saracho, the head of Europe, Middle East and Africa investment banking.
Wise had joined Cazenove in 1999 and been a part of the executive committee for the original joint venture.
"It is a privilege to take on this new role," Wise said in the release. "[Mayhew] sets the standard to which we all aspire and I'm delighted that we will continue to work closely together."

Product Description
The card game Cheaty Mages puts you in the role of a wizard who has come to watch and bet on monsters fighting in an arena. Of course, you have all of your spells to help the monsters you've bet on win (or harm the monsters fighting against yours) – but then again, so do all of the other players, too! What's more, judges line the arena during combat and if players push things too far with their cheating spells, a judge might intervene and dispel – or even eject – the fighter! Who will walk away with the largest pile of gold?

Leona Lewis receives 55 million hits on YouTube
The singer is said to be the only British artist to make it anywhere near the top ten, and at the last count, the No1 single has been watched by more than 55 million people, reports The Sun. She is at the moment in the sixth place, but she is fast catching up to Timbaland, who is featuring One Republic's Apologise video, which has been eyeballed by 56 million.
Leona is at the moment getting around 150,000 views a day, but hardcore fans are furious that she appears to have suddenly disappeared from YouTube's official list.

Future Care and Custody Planning
Future Care and Custody Planning
Families affected by HIV/AIDS face challenges in establishing custody and care plans for the children should a parent die or become incapacitated. Parents with HIV/AIDS may find discussing future care painful, lack the knowledge and/or supportive resources to make a plan or be unable to locate a trusted, qualified caregiver to appoint as the child's standby guardian. Nevertheless, some experts argue that legal permanency plans can be essential to a child's safety and well-being.

Business SA is pleased to once again introduce its popular conference aimed at improving occupational health, safety, environmental and injury management in the workplace.
Business SA will present the Employers Mutual Changes and Challenges conference on Thursday 6 May at the Adelaide Convention Centre.
Dr Bill Griggs AM ASM, Director of Trauma Service at Royal Adelaide Hospital, will provide the keynote speech and compare the need for accurate information in disaster management to that needed in business.

"Establishing the latest workplace systems will make for a safer environment with fewer accidents, saving money and increasing productivity and morale, while also meeting legislative responsibilities.
"It is essential that businesses determine the most effective way to implement management practices in the workplace and participants will be able to learn about these important subjects from businesses in the OHS, injury management and environment field."
Attendees can choose from 29 practical workshops, covering topics such as bullying and harassment at work, right of union entry, when OHS inspectors call, how the emissions trading scheme will affect business and creating mentally healthy workplaces.
Various other issues will be covered throughout the day in the areas of environment, injury management and occupational health and safety.
For enquiries, telephone (08) 8300 0103 or email email@example.com or download the registration form here.

My New (Old) VERO
24 comments:
Congratulations! Your new old house is very cool and indeed in a good condition. I love the bathroom, I'm sure you'll please me and others with awesome fotographs of this special room with the window in green. I'm looking forward....ReplyDelete
I'm at a loss for words...ReplyDelete
Awesome, is all that comes to mind!
Good for you, to have found this house. :)
OOOOOOOOO la la! Fantastic. Love Vero. This will be fun to see. Congrats! CMReplyDelete
Oh wow. A really lovely house, despite the lack of doors - I love that front porch! Congratulations on winning it - it'll be great seeing your updates on it :-)ReplyDelete
Oh well done you. I'm insanely jealous!ReplyDelete
Wow - I like the tiny little tiles under the front window. Very good condition too for 44 years old. The entry way is so stylish. All the floors are very, very nice too. Have fun playing with it. Love the childhood memories you have.ReplyDelete
You have put together an AMAZING tableau with your new (OLD) Vero! I really enjoy reading your blog - it's so inspirational, both from a miniature lover's perspective and also from an interior design angle. :DReplyDelete
wonderful, again - the colour of the livingroom furniture and the house matches so perfectly...ReplyDelete
Thanks, Oese! I love the bathroom as well, especially the flooring, and of course the window is very special. I'd like to change the wallpaper soon -- we'll see!ReplyDelete
Hi Dale! Yes, I feel lucky to have it, although poorer!ReplyDelete
Hi Carol, thanks! I love the VERO houses as well, obsessed, really.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Rebecca! I do hope to get the doors made. I might ask Paris Renfroe; not sure if Elisabeth at Elf would do this too.ReplyDelete
Thanks, TSS! Now you know how I feel about your houses! :)ReplyDelete
Hi Amy! I love the tiles too, and the slope of the doorway entry. The papers on the floor are groovy. I've already had fun playing with it, and I want to set up the other two rooms. ;)ReplyDelete
Thanks so much, Mel! I appreciate your nice comments! I am much better at interior designing minis than life-size objects! :)ReplyDelete
Hi diepuppenstubensammlerin! Thanks! I like the greens and yellows too, especially the green of the window plants.ReplyDelete
I love this house and the furniture. Can't wait to see more.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Susan! I've liked seeing your new houses too!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 14, 2010 at 5:45 PM
Have any tips on finding a Vero or German modern style house.ThanksReplyDelete
Hi Anonymous! I found both of my VERO houses on German eBay. I usally search for "VERO" or "DDR" with "puppenstube" or "puppenhaus." Obviously, most everything is in German, so Google Translate comes in handy! Also, ALWAYS check with the seller before you bid to see if they ship to the US, how much, and if they take PayPal. PayPal makes it so much easier; otherwise you have to get into wire transfers, etc. Expect to pay at least 40 Euros to ship a house.ReplyDelete
Love it! Love it! Love it! Great house, great furniture! I keep wondering why so many of the little houses from Germany had plants/planter boxes in their windows...and that the plants have survived so well. Anybody know?ReplyDelete
Florine left a comment, but it is not showing up even though I published it, so here it is: "Love it! Love it! Love it! Great house, great furniture! I keep wondering why so many of the little houses from Germany had plants/planter boxes in their windows...and that the plants have survived so well. Anybody know?" Thanks, Florine! I have always loved the touches of flowers on German houses and wonder the same. Perhaps folks can enlighten us?ReplyDelete
Great find! I´m in love :) 1966 is the year of my birth, too ;D And i like the way you furnished it!ReplyDelete
Hi Nicola! I am glad to give you more reasons to love this house! I am looking forward to playing with it more, and I am now working to get the doors fabricated :)ReplyDelete

Thankfully, the anti-science propaganda campaign surrounding man-made climate change seems to have lost some of its effect.
Are you seeing storm clouds on the horizon? Two recent studies suggest that the latest anti-science campaign is following its forerunners--the propaganda campaigns attempting to refute science that tobacco causes cancer, that CFC's caused the hole in the ozone layer, and so on—into oblivion. Global warming denial seems to have climbed to a peak in 2010, and global warming acceptance is now climbing. This bodes well for rational public policy.

More tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy talk from Tired.
"There has been no significant warming for nearly two decades"
What is significant? Is the previous 2 decades warmer than the 2 decades that came befor?
"A govt that spies on it's citizens"
Are you talking about the US or the UK. You have gotten your info from the UK.
"Every possible solution to this imaginary problem"
The average temp for the planet going up is not imaginary.
Posted 871 days ago.
Yes, I am. They are worth their salt, again.Now, I have to go earn mine, at my own pace,of course.
Posted 871 days ago.
What is kind of comical about your approach on all this is you are a hypocrite. It's not name calling, it is a fact.
You say that groups like the IPCC has a political agenda because they are associated with the govt. However, where did you get this wonderous "no increase in the last 17 years" stuff? It originated with the Met Office that gets funding from the British Govt.
So you rather believe the Brits instead of your own country..tsk tsk tsk.
Posted 871 days ago.
"Global temperatures are essentially the same today as they were in 1995"
1. And what the average worldwide temp the 17 years prior to that? Lower or higher? Why is it so hard for you to answer this?
2. Global Warming has not stopped. The only way one could say that Global Warming has stalled is if they ignore the oceans altogether. Tired, does it make any sense to ignore 71% of the planet? That is what you are doing when you say that Global Warming has stopped.

"EPA's Leading Climate Change Expert Pleads Guilty to Elaborate Fraud"
But not to what I posted...you failed there Tired.
"The EPA's Agenda: Undermine Capitalism and America"
No evidence and even the claim has nothig to do with what I posted...another fail.
Posted 871 days ago.
tired- try to keep up, as you have suggested.I only asked if you could qualify your pronouncement by undeniable proof.There are many phenomena that are,just that,...the lacking of a verification of cause and effect.The ozone issue is a good example of science and governments working together. And an industry had to re-tool, so!
Posted 871 days ago.
Anyway, have a good lunch or whatever. :)
Posted 871 days ago.
You'll probably ignore it for no good reason but here: w w w.epa.gov/climatechange/science/indicators/oceans/sea-surface-temp.h tm l
if you do dismiss it, please have the guts to offer up evidence that supports your conclusion at least.
Posted 871 days ago.
"Sorry Kendall just isn't so."
Sorry Tired, it is. Took care of that argument.
Posted 871 days ago.
"yet the temps have levelled off"
This leveling off...is the average higher than it was 25 years ago? Yes or no?
Posted 871 days ago.
"and are actually cooling in many areas."
A typical failure on your part. The planet hasn't cooled on the avergae so you have to resort to saying (without evidence) that other places have cooled.
Try again when you have some evidence that the planet (you do understand what "global" in global warming means right?) has cooled on the average.
Posted 871 days ago.
" the warming would be continuing just as co2 has continued"
It has, you don't pay attention to the oceanic temps do you?
Posted 871 days ago.
" carbon in any form cannot be scientifically linked to global warming"
Actually it has, you just won't accept it. Please review the dozens of previous pages if you want the evidence. Though you won't or you'll lie about doing it.
Posted 871 days ago.
Let's clear out Tired's silly argument about giving up everything that involves fossil fuels is a logical step to take.
His argument is thus; If one says that carbon is the cause for global warming, they should therefor quit using anything that involves carbon.
That would be like saying, If one believes that guns are the cause for shootings, then they should get rid of all their guns.
Pure foolishness because Tired ignores common sense. No one on here has ever implied that we should (as a species) give up the use of fossil fuels and such, only that we should use them better. Just like it would be dumb to get rid of all guns to prevent shootings, you teach people to use weapons responsibly.
Posted 871 days ago.
"Be part of the solution, lead by example."
I am...I'm trying to weed out ignorance by asking you questions.
Posted 871 days ago.
What you seem to fail to grasp is that no one is planning on uprooting our entire society if we do not need to. It took a long time for the Earth to get where it is in the case of global warming. It will take a long time to fix it, so any suggestions to knee jerk action like you imply is foolish.
Only those on the defensive make grand leaps like you have done Tired. Try to think before responding next time. Heck, what I would like to see is you to try and respond to any questions that I have asked of you. It's fun to see you try and dodge them. You look more and more like Obama everyday.
Posted 871 days ago.
Let's see...you focus a lot on a place with little children.
You pull off another ad hominem attack and you still have answered no questions directed to you.
Posted 871 days ago.
Ignoring your fascination with places where little kids are, so it sounds like you admit that CO2 is bad. Otherwise, why would you care to try such a inept debate strategy?
Posted 871 days ago.
Ignoring your fascination with places where little kids are, I have stated facts. You are more than welcome to show how I am incorrect in my statements.
Posted 871 days ago.
"I am always amused at the tolerant left.."
Left or Right, some things should not be tolerated...in this case, your ignorance.

text: Once again I find myself thrilled to be sharing a new wedding. I know I sound like a broken record but I get to work with the best couples in the whole wide world. And couples who always seem to have the most amazing family and friends. It just really makes my job such a joy. Emily and Michael were a referral from another great couple of mine, Rose and Alex. It was so nice to see them and Rose's parents again. As you will see below and in part 2 as well, Emily and Michael had a visually spectacular wedding. One of the most beautiful I have every photographed. Every detail was perfect. But honestly it was the two of them that made it truly beautiful. They are both so kind, thoughtful, easy going and humble. Emily actually designed the bridesmaids gowns and is the owner of Style Up America. And Michael's newest film, Save the Date, was chosen for the Sundance Film Festival. Michael actually produced the film Waitress (yes the first thing I asked him was if Andy Griffith was going to be at the wedding!) and he and his mom danced to Baby Don't You Cry (The Pie Song) from the movie. It has become my favorite song to sing to the twins and they love it! Anyway, on with the show. Here is part 1 of their lovely evening wedding at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium. Be sure and come back for part 2…photos of the couple, the details, the party, and of course all the great people they collaborated with to make it happen. Congrats to you both! Wishing you a fantastic 2012!

Hear Low cover Rihanna's 'Stay' for charity
CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER | Updated 9/12/2013
The Duluth trio played the tune at the Pitchfork Music Fest in July, and then went home and recorded it.
Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker were very un-Rihanna-like at Rock the Garden in June.
As much of a head-turner as their "Drone Not Drones" set for Rock the Garden in June, Low more pleasantly surprised hipster fans at Chicago's Pitchfork Music Festival in July by playing a cover of the recent Rihanna hit "Stay." Reaction was strong enough that the Duluth genre-benders went ahead and recorded the cover at Sacred Heart Studio/Church back home and released it today via Sub Pop Records as a charity single. Sales of the track via iTunes go to Chicago's music-ed nonprofit Rock for Kids.
Around the time of the Pitchfork Fest, Low frontman Alan Sparhawk mentioned via Twitter how much his wife/bandmate Mimi Parker liked Rihanna's ballad. It's pretty obvious from her vocal performance on the re-recording that he wasn't kidding. Sparhawk himself hits some pretty impressive high notes in it, too. I think we can officially call this the anti-drone Low.
Headed back to Chicago for next weekend's Goose Island Festival -- the trio also recorded its latest album "The Invisible Way" in Chitown with producer Jeff Tweedy – Low then heads to Europe in November for a month of gigs everywhere from Cartagena to Schorndorf and Nijmegen. Here's hoping the band takes a good GPS with them.

Threshold is no longer pay-to-play. It is now free to play with optional pay-for-perks.
Base registration will no longer be required. All of the other additional perks and features you can pay for will continue to exist, and your existing rewards will continue as normal. We will also continue to look for more ways to give you even more value for your registration dollar.
In the current MMORPG climate, where people don't want to pile on multiple monthy/annual fees, we believe the required registration is a major limiting factor for recruitment and marketing. We will still encourage people to become a Citizen and we will have more Citizen-only features and events to reward our loyal players.
This should also make it much easier for our existing players to recruit friends and acquaintances. Since that is traditionally the best way to gain new citizens, this is a good thing.
Threshold RPG has been one of the leading Role Play required online games for over 10 years. The web site for Threshold RPG is located at:

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
by T.S. Eliot
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock Appearances Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (line)
Quote #1
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair –
[They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!"]
My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin –
[They will say: "But how his arms and legs are thin!" (lines 40-44)
Prufrock is one of those people who is really hard to give a compliment to. "I see you got your collar all the way up to the chin – good for you." "Way to be modest with your necktie – it really just shouts 'mediocrity.'" "Your thin arms and legs make the rest of you look so buff!" In short, Prufrock wears the same clothes as everybody else, hoping to blend in and draw attention away from the rest of him. He is a superficial guy who is most concerned with what everyone else (the mysterious "they") will think.
Quote #2
And I have known the eyes already, known them all –
The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,
And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall, (lines 55-58)
When Prufrock looks at other people, he doesn't see complete bodies; he only sees a collection of body parts. Here he sees "the eyes," which treat him like a scientists treats an insect specimen. He misses all the depths and subtleties of human emotion because he has a single-minded focus on the things that make him squirm.
Quote #3
And I have known the arms already, known them all –
Arms that are braceleted and white and bare
[But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!]
It is perfume from a dress 65
That makes me so digress?
Arms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl. (lines 62-67)
More body parts. Bring on the arms! We assume these are female arms because they have bracelets, and because Prufrock mostly spends his time thinking about women. But one arm actually catches his eye, and for a brief moment, it seems like it could belong to a real person. The arm is covered with a soft, "light brown hair" that is revealed in the moonlight. If only he could give that much attention to a full person, he might have a richer inner life. But he soon returns to his bored and tired tone.

Texas lost 13,700 jobs in August, the second monthly job loss this year
Texas' oil woes are not over.
The state lost 13,700 jobs in August, after four straight months of job gains, according to government data released today.
It's the second month of job losses so far this year. The state lost 25,200 jobs in March, which marked the first job loss for Texas in nearly five years.
Texas tied with New York for losing the most jobs last month, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In addition, July's job growth was revised downward to 25,800 jobs from 31,400.
Some economists said in June that the worst of Texas' economic slump might be over, but that doesn't appear to be the case. However, others last month worried that the state could see more job losses if oil prices fall further and global economies continued to slow — and both of those things have happened since then.
The price of oil had has been extremely volatile, which hurts Texas, the nation's largest oil-producing state. The price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil dipped below $40 a barrel this summer and then rebounded to around $49 in late August. It's trading around $46 today.
Despite the job losses, Texas' seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell from 4.2 percent in July to 4.1 percent in August — the lowest level in 14 years. That's much lower than the U.S. rate of 5.1 percent last month.
However, Texas' unemployment decline could be partly due to people who are no longer looking for a job and who have dropped out of the workforce. The state has seen its civilian labor force decline every month since February, shrinking by 97,400 people.
The Dallas-Forth Worth area's unemployment rate was fell to 3.9 percent in August from 4.1 percent in July. The Amarillo area posted the state's lowest jobless rate of 3.1 percent and the McAllen area saw the highest rate of 7.9 percent. None of the local rates have been adjusted for seasonal variations.
Job losses in Texas' oil and manufacturing industries accelerated in August. Oil lost 5,300 jobs and manufacturing lost 5,600 jobs. Manufacturing continues to suffer from the oil industry slowdown as well as less demand for Texas-made exports from foreign buyers because of a strong U.S. dollar.
Overall, seven of Texas' 11 major industry groups posted job losses last month, led by trade, transportation and utilities and government, which each lost 6,200 jobs. Financial services, education and health services, and information services also lost jobs.
Those losses were partly by large job gains in some service industries. Leisure and hospitality added 5,900 jobs in August, followed by professional and business services' 4,000 new jobs and construction's 3,200 jobs.
Nationally, employment increased in 32 states and decreased in 18 states plus Washington, D.C., in August, according to BLS data. California saw the biggest monthly job gains (36,200).
Over the last 12 months, employment increased in 47 states plus Washington, D.C., and declined in three states.

Wing Wizards - Ben Arfa,Sinclair and Ince
Ironically, I was just going to start a post about Scott Sinclair, who I wanted more than any player last summer that I thought Rodgers could bring with him, and would be an affordable, effective attacking winger, particularly for our system.. based on the following from Mancini via Sky, I think we outta be all over this.. He's only 23, and an outstanding talent.. City paid 6M for him, so they could hardly ask for more than 4-6M, since they haven't done anything to boost his stock and have to clear his wages so they can buy Cavani, Falcao, Maradona and Pele.. Scott Sinclair for me, yes please!!
And, I would not sell Downing unless someone made some sort of 10M+ bid because I think he's been the most improved player of the season, and his work rate has been as good as any, plus we need to add and strengthen, not reduce and replace. If a player like Sinclair comes in and earns the nod over Stewart, then so be it, but we'll be better off for it come Cup matches and perhaps Europa if we manage to make it..Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Yeah think your right Jason, fits the price range Rogers will possibley have spare to get an attacking player and has history with Rogers and would be already familiar with his tactics and style of fluid passing play.
Think we are in the Europa league due to fair play rules or somthing about being second best disiplined team in the league under Arsenal which grants us entry.
- 1 Reply to Havin_A_Red_Day_?
I actually think Sinclair is a fantastic player, not just a player who's familiar with the system.. for me, I'd personally likened him a bit to Ashely Young, but a more pacey, tricky player with more direct moves and goals, whereas Ashely is more the pension for boom or bust with some extravant finishes. Sinclair would be a more experienced and less costly option to Ince, and direct competition for Downing, and could play either wide role.. I'd love to have him for 5-6M.
As for Liverpool getting into the Europa League through Fair Play, I'd read an interview from Rodgers where he says they do not want to qualify that way because he feels it's not warranted based on merit of play/achievement, and not how LFC would want to qualify. I don't know if that means they'll decline the opportunity or what, but he did make a good point that it would put them into the competition even earlier than it did this past season, starting while many players are gone on holiday.. In that regard, I wouldn't want us involved either..

Objectives: The aim of this study was to synthesize best practices for addressing clinical heterogeneity in systematic reviews and health technology assessments (HTAs).
Methods: We abstracted information from guidance documents and methods manuals made available by international organizations that develop systematic reviews and HTAs. We searched PubMed® to identify studies on clinical heterogeneity and subgroup analysis. Two authors independently abstracted and assessed relevant information.
Results: Methods manuals offer various definitions of clinical heterogeneity. In essence, clinical heterogeneity is considered variability in study population characteristics, interventions, and outcomes across studies. It can lead to effect-measure modification or statistical heterogeneity, which is defined as variability in estimated treatment effects beyond what would be expected by random error alone. Clinical and statistical heterogeneity are closely intertwined but they do not have a one-to-one relationship. The presence of statistical heterogeneity does not necessarily indicate that clinical heterogeneity is the causal factor. Methodological heterogeneity, biases, and random error can also cause statistical heterogeneity, alone or in combination with clinical heterogeneity.
Conclusions: Identifying potential modifiers of treatment effects (i.e., effect-measure modifiers) is important for researchers conducting systematic reviews and HTAs. Recognizing clinical heterogeneity and clarifying its implications helps decision makers to identify patients and patient populations who benefit the most, who benefit the least, and who are at greatest risk of experiencing adverse outcomes from a particular intervention.

Week 9: Mountain West football Power Rankings
Mountain West Power Rankings
San Diego State's win over Nevada means Boise State stands atop the league standings as the only unbeaten team in conference play. Conference standings have four teams – Nevada, Fresno State, SDSU and Air Force – currently deadlocked in a four-way tie for second. The cream has risen to the top and left the dregs behind.
1 -- No. 18/21 Boise State (6-1 overall, 3-0 MWC)
Previous ranking: 1
The Broncos are still the team to beat in the conference, especially after the Aztecs did them a favor last weekend by taking Nevada out of the league's unbeatens club. Boise State beat up on UNLV 32-7 last week. This week, the Broncos get to use a crappy Wyoming team as target practice. No prizes for guessing who wins.
2 -- Fresno State (5-3, 3-1)
Previous ranking: 3
Just win, baby. Just win. The Bulldogs rebounded nicely from the previous week's defeat to Boise State by taking their frustrations out on Wyoming in a 42-14 win. Fresno State now has an interesting test against a New Mexico option attack that all the Mountain West teams have struggled to counter. That includes the formidable Broncos, who only beat the Lobos by three points when they played. The Bulldogs have to take care of business in Albuquerque if they want to stay in the hunt for the title.
3 -- San Diego State (5-3, 3-1)
Previous ranking: 4
Amazing what one upset win in overtime can do for a program's morale and change the course of a season. Or will it? Now that SDSU has notched a signature 39-38 win over a very good Nevada team, it has to show that it truly belongs with the big boys. And the only way to do that is to continue its winning ways. The Aztecs take a three-game win streak into this week's matchup against UNLV – a team they should obliterate. Anything less is unacceptable at this point.
4 -- Nevada (6-2, 3-1)
Previous ranking: 2
The Wolf Pack is hanging on to their Mountain West title hopes by a thread. After losing to SDSU, Nevada needs to win out to clinch the title. That might not be an easy task. The Wolf Pack's schedule gets increasingly difficult from this point on. Nevada plays Air Force this week, but high-scoring Fresno State, gritty New Mexico, and the defensive-minded Broncos await. This is where the going gets tough.
5 -- Air Force (4-3, 3-1)
Previous ranking: 7
I'm still not sold on this Air Force team. But hey, they beat New Mexico 28-23. (Even if it did come down to the wire.) Still, the Falcons lost leading rusher Cody Getz in the process when he re-aggravated an ankle injury on the first snap, and it's unlikely that he'll play in this Friday's tilt against Nevada. The Falcons are pretty banged up, with key injuries on both sides of the ball. Doesn't help that the second half of their schedule includes tough games at San Diego and Fresno.
6 -- New Mexico (4-4, 1-2)
Previous: 5
The Lobos hung with Air Force until the end, but couldn't quite pull out a win against a disciplined Falcons team. This week's task won't be any easier. Fresno State is one of the best offensive teams in the conference, and the Lobos' best chance at beating the Bulldogs could be to hope that their option offense throws off Fresno's defense. Still, things get easier once the Lobos get past Fresno. Three of their last four games are against teams in the bottom half of the league's standings. This gives the Lobos a great shot at bowl eligibility.
Previous ranking: 8
Every week, it seems, Bobby Hauck's young team faces stiffer and stiffer competition. The good news is that this weekend's matchup against SDSU marks the end of the "murderer's row" chunk of the Rebels' schedule. After narrowly losing to Nevada and getting trounced by Boise State, UNLV gets to travel to San Diego to take on an Aztecs' team that's flying high after a marquee win. But get through this week and they could pick up a couple more "W" against some of the weaker teams in the conference. They just have to hang on till then.
8 -- Wyoming (1-6, 0-3)
Previous ranking: 8
The hapless Cowboys were crushed 42-14 by Fresno State last week, and will likely endure another pounding at the hands of Boise State this week. To make matters worse, Wyoming announced on Monday that coach Dave Christensen will be suspended for a week and fined $50,000 for his profanity-laced rant against Air Force coach Troy Calhoun after the Cowboys' Oct. 13 defeat to the Falcons. Assistant coach Pete Kaligis will serve as interim head coach this week. Wyoming's season is in tatters, and unless the Cowboys can somehow pull out a miraculous win against Boise State this week, any hope of getting to a bowl is over.
9 -- Colorado State (1-6, 0-3)
Previous ranking: 9
The Rams were inactive last week, but there's little reason to believe that the time off will translate to any significant improvement. It doesn't help that Colorado State is down to its third quarterback after the first two sustained shoulder injuries in different games. Conner Smith will make his first career start after taking over for the injured M.J. McPeek midway through the Rams' defeat to SDSU two weeks ago. The only saving grace is that his first game – against Hawaii – should not be too intimidating. The Warriors are 1-5 and have struggled at least as much as the Rams this year.
10 -- Hawaii (1-5, 0-3)
Previous ranking: 10
Like Colorado State, the Warriors are also coming off a bye week. One can only hope that this means they'll be rested and ready to take on the Rams in Fort Collins. Hawaii has had a tough time adjusting to head coach Norm Chow's new offensive and defensive schemes this season. In terms of national rankings, the Warriors are languishing in the 100s in just about every offensive and defensive category. Their best chance at an FBS win comes this weekend. If Hawaii can't pull this one out, it could realistically end the season 1-11.

First off we told we would only be paid $200 for orientation which they issue 2 seperate comcheck numbers at $100 each when assigned a truck, then we told it would be 7 months to get the insurance instead of first day as we were told. Then we told we had to pay for scales,tolls,etc. then be reimbursed. Also they want everybody to buy locks, sign forms for them to charge you $1500 if you abandon a truck.
So after the first day we seen PTL is not what we were led to believe by the recruiter, so my team member and I left that 1st day. And now PTL has the nerve to put a bad report on DAC about the two of us and we didn't even stay for orientation, and never got paid the mileage either. So beware of PTL's recruiters, the one we had just straight lied about everything.

Boston Fed Chief Defends Dissenting View on Tapering
PHILADELPHIA–Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren said that his bank has become a leading light in focusing on how to balance both of the central bank's mandates, jobs and inflation, and also defended his recent decision to oppose the Fed move to cut back on its easy-money policy stance.
At the Boston Fed, "we have highlighted the high costs related to being below full employment for a long period of time," Mr. Rosengren said in prepared remarks. At the same time, "we have strongly argued that policymakers should be as concerned about inflation being too low as being too high, given the toll and persistence of deflation were it to emerge."
Mr. Rosegren's comments were in the text of a speech that was to be delivered Saturday at a conference in Philadelphia. He was to speak on a panel that also included New York Fed President William Dudley and Philadelphia Fed chief Charles Plosser. Minneapolis Fed leader Narayana Kocherlakota had been scheduled to participate but was unable to attend due to the weather. All were expected to speak on the unique viewpoints held by the regional Fed banks.
Mr. Rosengren said in his remarks that his bank's understanding of the Fed's so-called "dual mandate" has informed the two times he has voted against the collective decisions made by the monetary policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee. He has long been one of the strongest supporters of aggressive action to support the economy, and he dissented at the December FOMC meeting when the Fed decided to slow the pace of its bond-buying stimulus program.
Mr. Rosengren used his remarks to further explain the rationale behind his dissent. "With the inflation rate below target and the unemployment rate significantly above target, we believe strongly that monetary policymakers have the opportunity to be patient in removing accommodation, speeding up the process of achieving both elements of the Fed's dual mandate," he said.
But it wasn't the fact that inflation is well below the Fed's 2% target that caused Mr. Rosengren to oppose the trims in Fed bond buying. Still-high unemployment remains a problem the Fed should target, he said.
"Even if we were not significantly undershooting our inflation target, there would still be a significant argument for monetary policy remaining highly accommodative," he said. "The failure of monetary and fiscal policy to generate a more rapid recovery risks creating a long-term structural unemployment problem out of a severe cyclical downturn."
Mr. Rosengren rejected arguments that aggressive Fed action, via bond buying and through persistently low short-term rates, can create financial-market imbalances of a magnitude that could cause broader economic trouble.
"The risks from generating a more rapid recovery seem small relative to the risks from generating a more permanent increase in structural unemployment," the official said.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brian Have never felt more safe Upon donning the complete General Purpose Safety Kit I felt ready for any task at hand. The combination of the stylish yet safe gloves with the sturdy yet subtle safety goggles made me feel confident enough but add on the protective dust mask and I felt as prepared as a ready meal shepherds pie. Would definitely recommend if you don't quite feel safe enough in your own skin. 31 May 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nick As expected Good quality kit for the price. The gloves dealt with sharp tile fragments well. Safety goggles did their job as did the face mask. 04 May 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jo Good All fine - as with many goggles it's difficult to avoid them steaming up when wearing them with the dust mask, but on the whole everything did the job. 05 September 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Orchid Good Very useful for the beginner embarking on any DIY job particularly removing wall tiles etc. 09 May 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by DoctorDJ Great gloves I have only used the gloves but have found them to be very useful. They provide great grip, prevent splinters and prevent callus formation. There is no sign yet of any significant wear and tear. 29 March 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by DomInSale Just the job I recently retired so I wanted to do something to save money. I used this safety kit when I insulated UNDER my downstairs floorboards. It was great for holding the glassfibre insulation and to stop me breathing in dust in the void under the floor. My home no longer loses the 15% of heat/energy that normally goes out through the floor. The safety kit was perfect for the job. 17 November 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lofty Safety first This safety kit was ideal for helping with the dirt, dust and sharp edges in fitting some additional loft insulation - nose, lungs, eyes and hands all well protected! (plus some ear plugs for another day!) Would strongly recommend to anyone undertaking such a task. 16 November 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by handyDIY Great Kit, fantastic gloves Very useful kit for light D-I-Y work. Gloves are fantastic, have a great fit and good grip. Protection glasses are great and can be used with normal glasses, they also have holes so they don't fog up. Earplugs and mouthpiece are standard things. Good buy if you need all of them and if not, they are always useful to have around. 12 November 2011

Of all Panasonic's 3D goodies today, the gadget we were most interested in was the HDC-TC750 camcorder with its optional VW-CLT1 3D lens. We grabbed some time with the camcorder after the company's keynote, to see whether the first 3D HD consumer model really lived up to its top billing.
In the hand, while the lens - which screws onto the TC750's lens thread, as would a regular filter or other adapter - does add to the length of the camcorder, its relatively light weight keeps it from feeling end-heavy. Shooting 3D video - or photos - is as straightforward as for 2D, and Panasonic will be bundling all the appropriate software for post-processing.
Panasonic tell us that the VW-CLT1 is all-optical; that is, it uses a set of prisms inside to funnel two optical pathways to the TC750's sensor. That means you can still use the optical zoom and all the camera's in-built image stabilization. The SDT750 can shoot 960 x 1080 resolution 3D footage, or – with the lens taken off – 1080/60p HD 2D footage. You can then hook it up via HDMI or USB (or whip out the SD card) for showing off your content.
While we can't really fault Panasonic's hardware approach, we do think adoption of the HDC-TC750 and VW-CLT1 pairing might be slower than they expect. For a start, you - or whoever you're sending the footage to - need a 3D-capable TV in order to enjoy it, and that comes with a significant price tag but also the barrier of requiring glasses. The actual footage itself showed more blur than Panasonic's professional models - though considering they shoot 3D in Full HD that's perhaps no surprise - and there's still a sense of looking at a stack of staggered images rather than a true 3D vista.
Nonetheless, if you're in the market for a 3D HD camcorder and you don't want to step up to a pro model, you don't have much choice at the moment. Its $1,400 price tag is still hefty, but there's plenty to like about the TC750.

High school freshmen get glimpse of medical school
Dec. 1, 2012
Freshmen from the DeBakey High School for Health Professions and their families visited Baylor College of Medicine in November for an open house where they got an overview of medical school and other opportunities at BCM.
The high school is a partnership of the Houston Independent School District and BCM that offers a curriculum geared toward students interested in medicine and health care.
Dr. Stephen Greenberg, dean of medical education at BCM, welcomed the students and their families, who then heard from Dr. Ronald Cotton, general surgery chief resident, who is a 1998 graduate of the DeBakey High School for Health Professions.
Breakout sessions included a panel discussion with current BCM students and an anatomy lab demonstration.
BCM students participating in the panel discussion included medical students Sara Andrabi-Haque, Benedict Ifedi and Kenneth Igbalode and physician assistant student Thian Nguyen, who are all DeBakey High School graduates. They offered the current high school students helpful advice about navigating high school and preparing for college and an overview of the different options available in medicine and health care.
DeBakey High School for Health Professions is one of the top ranked high schools not just in Houston but in the nation. It is consistently ranked in Newsweek's top 100 of America's Best High Schools and earned U.S. News and World Report's Best High School Gold Medal.

Mochi Eaters Relish Contest
Just over a month on from a series of fatalities involving the eating of sticky rice cakes, or "mochi," Iwate prefecture went out of its way to encourage consumption of the Japanese staple – regulated consumption, that is.
The fourth annual national mochi eating contest was held Sunday in the prefecture, where mochi is one of the specialty foods. Under the watch of 400 onlookers, 16 paired teams, including participants from the ages of two to 69, gobbled down morsels of mochi to see who could consume the most in five minutes. The winning team's 83 pieces unfortunately didn't beat the past record of 122 pieces, but 58-year-old team member Mr. Hirokuni Takeda, who alone wolfed down 64 pieces, told a local newspaper that "Though it was difficult towards the second half, I was able to relish the taste (of the mochi)."
To the relief of some anxious observers, the organizers made sure to take precautionary measures. The mochi pieces were served in small portions of three centimeters (about 1.19 inches) in diameter, or approximately 20g, doctors were on standby to dash to the rescue lest an emergency arise, and, in a rule that could have you thrown out of the competition, participants were obliged to finish each mochi piece before putting a new one in their mouths. The competition ended without incident.
A mochi-eating contest might appear in questionable taste for some, so soon after January's tragic headlines. But Japan's no stranger to competitive eating, and Iwate prefecture loves its food contests. The northern prefecture's 53rd annual national soba eating contest, set to attract a crowd of over 3,000 spectators, will be held this Friday on National Foundation Day. Some 180 participants are expected to slurp down the Japanese noodles and try to beat the record of 254 bowls of 10g of soba eaten by last year's winner in five minutes.

MARIETTA - On Christmas Day, those looking for a quick bite to eat, a place to share a holiday meal or a bar to enjoy a brew or two will have slim pickings in the Parkersburg/Marietta area.
However, there are a handful of locations that will not have their windows shuttered and doors closed today.
If hunger pangs strike after 4 p.m., Napoli's Pizza on Pike Street in Marietta is one place to turn for pizza and other Italian-themed items.

Missy Willison, day cook supervisor at Napoli's on Seventh Street in Parkersburg, places a pizza in the oven on Christmas Eve. Several of the Napoli's locations — and a number of other businesses — will be open today for Christmas Day.
"When travelers come through Marietta, there are very few places open," said Wayne Waldeck, CEO of Napoli's Pizza.
The Marietta Napoli's Pizza location has been open on Christmas Day for decades. Other local Napoli's locations that will be open today from 3 p.m.-midnight around the area include Mineral Wells and two locations in Parkersburg, on Seventh Street and in the traffic circle on Ohio Avenue.
"We've found over the years that people rely on us and know we're going to be open," Waldeck said.
Fact Box
Working on the Holiday
Some other businesses open on Christmas:
* Marietta Brewing Company, Front Street, Marietta, opens 7:30 p.m., (kitchen closed).
* Norwood Tavern, Greene Street, Marietta, opens 5 p.m.
* JP Henry's, Parkersburg, full menu and bar, opens 4 p.m.
* Harmar Tavern, Maple Street, Marietta, (bar open, kitchen closed).
* Empire Buffet, Pike Street, Marietta.
* Shogun Sushi and Hibachi, Lafayette Center, Marietta, noon to 9 p.m.
* Domino's Pizza, 415 Second St., Marietta; 2109 Washington Blvd., Belpre; 1814 Seventh St., Parkersburg; 3100 Grand Central Ave., Vienna. Open 4-11 p.m.
The open sign the restaurant puts out is more of a service to customers and travelers than part of a business model, said Waldeck.
"It's for local people, those who live alone, don't have Christmas dinner or want to come out and eat something," he said.
And staffers are only too happy to work Christmas Day.
"We only use volunteer help. We always have more volunteers than we actually need because people like working that day," Waldeck said.
Waldeck remembers working a Christmas shift many years ago.
"Everybody was in a good mood, laughing and jovial," said Waldeck. "It's just a happy time."
Folks who are in search of a libation on Dec. 25 can visit Harmar Tavern.
"We're always open on Christmas Day," said daytime bartender Steve Mouser. "For a lot of people, it's the only place they have to come to."
No food items from Harmar Tavern's menu will be served, but Mouser said he will cook up a ham and trimmings.
"I usually do that on my own, at no fee," Mouser said.
Many of the convenience store chains are also expected to be open today for the holiday, including area 7-Eleven stores, Speedway locations, GoMart stores, Par-Mar stores and others, store personnel from the businesses reported.
For those wishing to burn up some of the sugar-filled cookies and candy, two local bowling alleys will be open today for the holiday. North Hills Bowling Alley, on Colegate Drive in Marietta, will be open from 3-9 p.m. today and Emerson Lanes, located at 36th Street and Emerson Avenue in north Parkersburg, will be open from 5-11 p.m. today.
The newest CVS Pharmacy on Murdoch Avenue in Parkersburg's traffic circle will be open today, while the company's other local pharmacies will close for the holiday, store employees said. The Rite Aid at 3400 Dudley Ave. in Parkersburg will also be open today for the holiday, a store .
Some area restaurants offering ethnic cuisine will be open for today's holiday, including Super China Buffet, Great Wall, Fusion Japanese Steak House and others.
After opening gifts today, local residents can also enjoy some entertainment by visiting area movie theaters including Odyssey 7 Theatre in Marietta's Lafayette Center and Regal Cinemas at the Grand Central Mall in Vienna.
Three movies will premiere today: "Les Miserables," "Django Unchained" and "Parental Guidance."
"Les Miserables" is an adaptation of the hit musical of the same name. The film stars Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe in the epic story of broken dreams and unrequited love set against the backdrop of 19th-century France.
Director Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," starring Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, is the story of a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with a German-born bounty hunter.
Starring Billy Crystal, Bette Midler and Marisa Tomei, the comedy "Parental Guidance" tells the story of an old-school grandfather, accustomed to calling the shots, who meets his match when he and his eager-to-please wife agree to babysit their three grandchildren.
