Leah Binder: The Real Question Is How Doctors Should Use Email, Not If
Should doctors communicate with their patients via email?
Of course doctors should communicate via email. Why? It is fundamental to a good medical practice that physicians communicate the same way their patients communicate, and patients use email.
This seems like common sense, but debate rages about the merits of email. There's so much debate researchers actually did a few studies on the topic, enough to prompt a Cochrane review. The review concluded that none of the studies on the topic were compelling enough to make any recommendations, pro or con, about email in clinical practice. They found no evidence to suggest that email is dangerous.
Regardless, whether doctors should use email doesn't strike me as a life-and-death priority for our national medical research agenda. It's like doing a randomized controlled trial on the advantage of installing a telephone in a doctor's office. Sounds laughable, but in fact that was a real debate during the turn of the last century. "As if the Telegraph and the Post Office did not sufficiently invade and molest our leisure, it is now proposed to medical men that they should become subscribers to the Telephone Company," huffed one physician in the prestigious medical journal Lancet in 1883, "…To have a dozen telephonic consultations in one day, or conversations that might be thought to supersede a consultation, would be a doubtful addition to one's advantage or repose."
Physicians are entitled to their "repose" and ought to be paid for their work, but email per se doesn't change that any more than the telephone did. In other industries, the use of email is never a question because service providers see email as one more tool for meeting the needs of their customers—a competitive advantage, not a burden. As David Goldhill explains in his eye-opening book, "Catastrophic Care: How American Health Care Killed My Father—and How We Can Fix It," "In most industries… producers of goods and services promote their advantages in price, quality, convenience, sex appeal—you name it—to attract us, the consumers." Not so in health care, he points out; physicians instead bemoan all those new demands from patients.
The only exceptions are the physicians in practices where patients pay cash, such as Lasik eye surgeons and cosmetic surgeons. These practices market aggressively, and I doubt they complain that email invades their leisure. Over the past decades, these cash specialties have reduced their prices while improving quality—unfortunately, not the norm for the rest of health care.
In fairness, many physicians use email effectively, and email does present some privacy and liability problems that require examination. But the issue should not be whether physicians use email, but how they use it. The idea that we should research and debate about email is Exhibit A that our health care system is anything but "patient-centered."

Post subject: Advice please!!!! UPDATE ON ME.......
Hi ladies,
Just after some advice plz I'm either 4+5 or 4+6 and have had this feelin since I found out last week that something's not quite right, just can't shift it!!!! So I have no pg symptoms at all like nothing, not even the pulling stretchy feelin u get while eggy is nesting in, i have had period pain over the weekend but nothing since if it wasn't the fact that the tests are pos I wouldn't think I was..... Now with the tests they and not as dark as control line yet but u can still see them, I have just taken my 3rd digi over the week and is still only 1-2 .... I just don't know what to think or do really I keep panicking that its eptopic and that's why I have no pain in my womb area and that's why tests not getting darker....

I has no symptoms at all, and it wasn't until my 3rd scan at 20 weeks that I finally started to believe it was true. Am not a serial tester (haha) and actually only did one digital, which wasn't even a conception indicator one. Don't worry about lack of symptoms, every pregnancy is different.
I doubt it is an ectopic if you're not getting any pain or bleeding. Is there any chance you can get in for a blood test to put your mind at rest. The conception indicator should go up in the next few days I think.
Hope everything works out xx

Awww hun, it's horrible not knowing isn't it
But as for the digi tests, I was 5+2 before I got my 1-2 and then a couple of days after that I got my first very dark line on a Morrison's test. Once I got that dark line I stopped testing because it was stressing me out so much but even now at 16 wks I worry constantly that something will happen.
I know it's really hard but try and leave it a few days before testing again x

I know its a bit deceitful hun but have you thought about contacting EPU and telling them that you have had pains or bleeding? It may be the only way that you can get scanned without a GP referral.
I would do it if I was genuinely concerned. We all know what could happen if it is an ectopic hun.

Grrr, hospitals make me so angry sometimes with their procedures. I know it isnt the staffs fault, it just seems unfair that you are left worrying and all for the sake of a doctor not wanting to fill out a form.
Me and the boys are fine. Im really pleased that I am still breast feeding, I thought I would have given up by now cause we have had a few awful dyas and nights but I cant bear the thought of me putting a bottle near him

So glad they took action minine its nice to hear. It still annoys me how I was treated because they kept me in hospital for a whole day faffing about waiting for bloods to see what my hcg levels were doing. Given my history of tube problems and surgery they should have gone straight to a laparoscopy like they did for you and if they had that would have meant my tube hadnt ruptured and put my life at risk.
Why arent you ttc any more ?

I feel if we dont get that 4th spot we very well maybe looking at a situation not too far removed from the Leeds meltdown. I wish we'd have gone with DIC when we had the chance. How one organisation can take months in sorting out its bid can be ditched in favour of another that took only days beats me. Greedy boneheads Moores and Parry dun us for a little extra cash in their own pockets. I remember when the Moores family pulled the plug on Everton and the struggle they had to buy players.

The birthplace of poet and playwright William Shakespeare is a great place to visit - but before you head off to Stratford-upon-Avon, follow our six tips to make sure your trip is "such stuff that dreams are made of".
Read Whole Story
Death of a Salesman is a beautiful play and The RSC version, now transferred to the West End, is a beautiful production that shows this Arthur Miller classic at its very best.
Just as we do today, lovers in Ford's day, and in his plays, saw the heart as the symbol of love, but also as the core of our being, where we hold our most profound feelings.
It is a wonder how natural Shakespeare's timeless language gushes from the mouths of the "black Romans" in semi-modernised costumes. If Julius Caesar were the only play the phenomenal Gregory Doran had ever directed, he would still contend for the title of the best Shakespeare director ever.
RSC is always a treat when I am in fair Stratford-upon-Avon. I have seen performances I adored and performances I disliked. I could not predict what I...

I used to feel harassed by reminders of chores I needed to do:
The book or the stapler I couldn't find, or the pile of papers that was in my way. But worst of all, by tasks I'd been procrastinating.
While worrying about clutter might seem like a fairly frivolous preoccupation, I've found that clearing away the mess—both physical (closets, countertops) and mental (answering difficult emails)—makes it easier for me to stay calm and cheerful.
Two anti-clutter rules have made a huge difference to the level of chaos in my house:
** The one-minute rule: perform any task that can be completed in less than one minute. Hang up a coat, read a letter and toss it, put a document in a file, put the toothpaste back in the medicine cabinet and close the door.
** The evening tidy-up: take time before bed to put things away.
Now that I've cleared a lot of that away, I feel happier.
And creating order doesn't just remove a source of unhappiness; it creates a charge of energy and satisfaction. The closet that was an eyesore is now a joy; the stack of papers, slowly yellowing on the edge of the desk, is replaced by a clear surface.

The Scottish Premier League and the Scottish Football League on Tuesday agreed in principle to a restructuring plan that would see the organisations merge in a 12-12-18 structure.
Green told RangersTV: "I haven't read anything other than what is in the press and if that is what we have sat here eagerly awaiting to transform Scottish football, my advice to the board of Rangers is the quicker we can leave Scottish football the better. I can't see anything that is going to transform the finances, the status or the excitement."
If the new format was rubber-stamped for next season, Irn-Bru Third Division leaders Rangers would remain in the bottom tier of Scottish football regardless of any title success this term, albeit with the potential time frame for a return to the top-flight remaining the same.

This chapter presents some of the basic ideas underlying the safe and effective use of essential oils.
The most common ways essential oils are used in aromatherapy are inhalation and skin application. (We don't recommend ingestion except as directed by a licensed health care practitioner.) There are a number of ways to use essential oils effectively and safely through these methods.
Inhalation methods of essential oils can be as simple as placing a few drops of oil on a tissue to using an electric room diffuser.
Skin Application usually requires dilution of the essential oil in a carrier oil or water. Several factors affect the rate at which essential oils are absorbed through the skin – exposure to air, heat, hydration of the tissues and the medium in which they are diluted.
Because essential oils are so readily absorbed into the bloodstream and carried throughout the body, it's important to use only pure oils for aromatherapy. Also, the aromatherapy benefits of essential oils are the result of complex interactions of natural constituents—those benefits are greatly lessened or even countermanded if oils are adulterated.
Safety Tips
• Do not use essential oils undiluted on skin. With only a few exceptions, oils need to be appropriately diluted before applying to skin. Undiluted oils can cause irritation, burning, redness or photosensitivity. More is not better when it comes to potent essential oils. Properly diluted oil is most effective.
• Patch test for sensitivities. Some people have reactions to certain oils and cannot use them. To test an essential oil you have not used before, do a patch test by adding 1 drop of oil to 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil and apply to the inside of the arm. Leave on for 24 hours, and if any redness or itching develops, don't use the oil.
• Keep oils away from children and pets.
• Keep oils away from eyes.
• Do not use essential oils internally. Aura Cacia does not recommend cooking with essential oils or taking essential oils internally for a therapeutic effect except as directed by a licensed health care professional. Essential oils are highly concentrated and toxicity varies with the oil. Also, some oils may interact with other medications or are contradicted with certain health conditions.
• Use caution if pregnant. Avoid using oils altogether when pregnant or only use small amounts of the safest oils. Check the cautions on Aura Cacia labels or a good reference book when determining what oils to use. Note: While there seem to be few, if any, cases of toxic effects to the fetus from aromatherapy, it is always best to err on the side of caution. Essential oils in the mother's body may pass through to the baby.
• Use photosensitizing oils cautiously. Oils such as angelica and the citrus oils can cause burning when applied to skin and then exposed to the sun or sun lamps. Avoid using these oils on the skin for at least 4 hours before going out into the sun. (Note: bergamot is one of the most photosensitizing oils, however natural Bergamot BF (bergaptene-free) is an alternative that is safe to use in the sun.
• Read and follow warning or cautions on labels. Responsible manufacturers have caution statements on their labels for safe use of essential oils.
• Use the dilution appropriate for the person and the situation. Children, the elderly, or those with serious health problems should dilute oils more than healthy adults. Also the rate of absorption of essential oils is increased on damaged skin. Heat may also speed the absorption of essential oils, as in a hot bath, so this factor should also be taken into account.
• Don't overuse. Inhaling or applying too much of oil at a time can cause headaches, irritation or discomfort. If overexposed, get some fresh air or use a vegetable oil to clean excess essential oil off the skin. It is also best to vary the oils used over time, to avoid build-up of any particular constituents.
A note on toxicity: Most of the data on essential oil toxicity is based on ingestion. Even so, essential oils with the highest level of toxicity are not recommended for use in aromatherapy. Oils such as pennyroyal, calamus, thuja, mugwort, rue and tansy are not safe for any aromatherapy use. Acute toxicity resulting from a single dose is only known to have occurred with ingestion of essential oil. Chronic toxicity resulting from repeated use of an oil is also most likely related to ingestion. Externally, the most likely reaction comes from burning of the skin due to improperly diluted oils or from an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. However, it may be possible to develop chronic toxicity from overuse of oils on the skin depending on the toxicity of the oil and the duration and frequency of use. It is wise to avoid long term or continual use of any essential oil.
Appropriate amounts of essential oils to use are based on a number of factors. Every oil has a unique chemical profile—even a very small amount of cinnamon oil may irritate the skin if incorporated into massage oil, while an essential oil such as lavender can be used at full strength for some applications. Also take into consideration the age and health of the person, the way the oil will be used (higher concentration can be used in a foot or hand bath for instance than in a whole body tub bath), length of exposure to the oil and individual sensitivities (see Safety Tips). As you use and develop an understanding of an essential oil and how it affects you, you can better determine the appropriate amounts of that oil to use. The chart below gives some general guidelines for amounts of oil to use that should be safe for most people.
Tub Bath
2 to 10 drops in tub
6 to 20 drops in tub
Hand or Foot Bath
1 to 3 drops/cup of water
5 to 10 drops/cup of water
5 to 8 drops/oz. carrier oil
10 to 15 drops/oz. carrier oil
Body Mist
12 drops/cup of water
Room Spray
30 to 50 drops/cup of water
3 drops/cup of water
6 to 10 drops/cup of water
1-3 drops on tissue or in a bowl of water
3-5 drops on tissue or in a bowl of water

Easiest cloth profession to play?
Posted 31 January 2013 - 01:46 AM
Which one of the three is the easiest to play? I dont care if they are late bloomers and dont get really powerful until 30-40 I just find classes that are more relaxing the most fun to play. One reason I didnt like PvP in WoW with some classes was you were forced to use 40-50 keybinds if you wanted to be good, like my Warlock. Seriously playing with that many abilities isnt fun. Thats work, take that shit elsewhere. Also for farming at 80 which would be the best at and for groups which of the 3 do people usually like having around?

Elementalist is easy for brainless staff work, but as mentioned before, close-up elementalist is where the real power's at, and it's not easy to do. I'd say it's even a little bit overpowered.
It's difficult for me to scale nec, probably because it's what I play the most, and thus everything just comes naturally to me. However, I can tell you that at least 90% of the nec players out there are completely retarded, so maybe it is difficult.
Edited by Gerroh, 31 January 2013 - 02:26 AM.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 02:39 AM
Mesmers probably require the highest degree of management of any class to actually be decent, and they're also one of the slowest to level in my experience. Gerroh mentioned that their gs build is brainless, and this is vaguely true; you can play a gs mes without much thought, but you'll pretty be useless to teammates and slow to kill things if you're not giving it much thought.
Eles are super-squishy, and the good ones tend to be major risk-takers... this makes for a lot of trial and error, and a steep learning curve.
With a Necro, you have the highest possible starting health, you have an extremely simple class skill that equates to even more health, you have some super brainless builds (straight minions, etc), as well as some complex and powerful ones, and a pretty smooth curve.
...I'm generally more of a leather class player, but I think Necro is super easy compared to the other two, although they all pay off once you cross a certain threshold (but who wants to hit 50 only to realize you hate your toon?)

Elementalist can be really overwhelming to start with all of its abilities, but becomes really easy once you get the hang of it.
Necro starts out solid, and stays that way. It's not always the fastest single-target killer, and minion AI can be a bit weak (I run wells and corruptions on mine).
I guess, if you're looking to avoid frustration early on, necro is a solid class, and stays that way. I haven't found any of the professions to be overly difficult or weak, but I will say I actually found the adventurer classes (except ranger) to require more caution while playing than any of the scholars or soldiers.
Ease and difficulty are often a factor of weapon selection. For example, sword/pistol is a high damage mesmer spec, but can be a lot more challenging than GS or even staff, since the class benefits a lot from being at range.
FWIW, I spent a while playing all of my 80's yesterday, after almost exclusively playing my guardian at that level, and fell back in love with my necro.

Clones do 0 damage, they are meant to be distractions, not damage dealers. The purple translucent guys are illusions, they usually do a burst of damage every few seconds but are much more fragile than clones (usually die in 1 hit whilst clones can take 2-3).

Can I make more clones?
Yes --> shatter
No --> don't
Is the boss about to wipe out all my clones with an AOE?
Yes --> shatter
No --> don't
For the most part, though, other than shattering to keep them cycling or getting some use out of them before they die to a big AOE, it's not that complicated. Keep in mind that if the boss is punching your clones to death with single-target attacks that aren't AOE, this is good. Clones being punched = players not being punched.
Also, if you are feeling extra lazy, you can just set up your traits so your clones inflict conditions on death, so you don't even need to shatter.

And also incredibly ineffective. Any Mesmer using GS as their primary weapon brings shame to Mesmers everwhere. 1h Sword deals the same damage as max-range GS (auto attacks) in one-third of the time. Like for most, GS is just the ranged alternative when kissing an enemies ass is far too dangerous.
But I digress, this isn't the Mesmer forum.

Obviously the only real answer is necromancer. Apart from death shroud, which is yet another survival mechanic the necromancer has, the profession has nothing special or complicated going for it. It's easy, sturdy and effective.
That doesn't mean it's the best, it's the easiest. That said it is quite a good profession too.
Elementalists have element swapping and are as durable as a wet noodle, and mesmer have illusions and shattering, as well as a bunch of situational utility skills. Neither come close to being as easy as an necromancer.

Keep a staff handy, it's one of those "must have" weapons that will get you out of the toughest situations (like the Shortbow on the Thief). I'm not at 80 yet but I don't know how efficient a farmer I'll be, even though I'm confident I'll still be very powerful. My buddy is leveling a warrior to boot so we'll be duo farming like nobody's business

I thought you only had to tag mobs to get kill credit, as in one point of damage would work.

Well I could be wrong, but months ago when farming Orr with my necro, I read somewhere that approx 2K damage needs to be dealt to a mob (either as a group or as an individual when solo) before getting credit for the kill. Out of those you are credited for a kill, only some of them will drop loot. Challenge is that the mobs used to go down in 2 seconds due to a massive zerg standing over the mob spawn point swinging swords and laying down traps and such. Trying to deal 2K damage in that short span of time is pretty difficult. As a group of 5 it would be easily manageable assuming everyone is cooperative and goes to the same spot. But it'd be frustrating trying to solo that as a necro with few means of achieving such a burst...auto-attacks in Lich form would do it, but it's still a 30 second duration transform on a 3 minute cooldown.
This was the old days of course, the way the mobs spawn in that area these days is entirely different. I went through the same Penitent Path area with another toon much later just to check it out. At one point there were almost too few people there and the mobs just played pinball with me after stability ran out, doing the usual pulls and knockdowns. I'd be checking it out again sometime soon since it appears they have spiced things up a bit and changed the way the mobs attack. But for now there's just not enough hours in a day and I hate farming with a passion. I traded some time for a dungeon run yesterday and didn't even get to complete the dailies, a first in history for me since the day of headstart.

SIKESTON -- After a one-year hiatus from the baseball diamond the Sikeston Bulls will be returning to action this spring.
With ownership troubles being the main concern for not fielding a team last season, this year John Crockett, a Sikeston native, has taken over ownership of the hometown KIT League team.
"Being from Sikeston, I thought it would be great to be able to buy the team," said Crockett. "My older brother was a baseball player in the Pony League in Sikeston and I just thought it would have been nice if there were something around like this when he was that age. I think if there would have been, he might have been able to go further."
With this being his first endeavor involving a KIT League team and after the year off, Crockett knows there will be some obstacles to overcome. Raising attendance tops that list.
"I think we're going to have a few hurdles in getting interest in the team again," he said. "I'd like to see attendance go way up. I don't care if we lose some money. I just think if we could get four to 500 people at each game it would be a successful season."
One way that Crockett will try and boost attendance will be to lower ticket prices. Single game tickets will be $4 a person while kids tickets will be $2 each. Season tickets will be $25 for kids and $50 for adults.
"We're going to make tickets as inexpensive as possible," Crockett said. "We're going to try and get our advertisers to pay the bulk of the expenses."
To go along with peaking local interest, the Bulls are working on creating a mascot for the upcoming season. Crockett said that it has not been finalized yet, but deciding the new mascot's name and look might depend on local fans' creativity.
There will also be some type of entertainment at every home game along with free giveaways and lots of merchandise to purchase.
As far as the team on the field, Crockett said that returning general manager Fred Johnson and a newly acquired manager/coach CJ Zeller has already put together a very competitive team.
Zeller has been the assistant coach for the Farmington Firebirds and also the assistant coach at Central Methodist University.
"He was a very obvious choice for me," Crockett said about hiring Zeller. "He is very knowledgeable about the game of baseball and his life kind of revolves around baseball. Ultimately, Fred Johnson, who fortunately agreed to come back, made the final decision and I think they are going to work out well together."
"He's going to be fine," Johnson said of Zeller. "Everything I've heard about the gentleman is great. I think he will be able to handle everything. Right now we're on the same accord."
The Bulls, who finished with a 18-32 record in 2007, ended that year in fifth place out of six teams.
"We've got some good ones," said Johnson of this year's squad. "We really think that we got some good ones that we think will be able to compete within our division and possibly a championship."
Scott Droddy from Sikeston, Oran's Cody Campbell, Scott City's Ryan Modglin and Sikeston native Lance Rhodes are just a few of the local talent planning to don the Bulls uniform.
Other areas in which some of the future Bulls come from include Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin.
"I wanted a good mix of local players along with players from out of the area," Johnson said. "We want to represent this area and put a good show on for the fans."
With a slew of young talent coming into the area, Johnson said that housing these players will be difficult without the help of the community.
"We're looking for housing for players," said Johnson. "We had outstanding results from the past and we're going to need extra housing because of a bigger roster."
If anyone has any interest in housing players of would like more information you can call Johnson at 472-4264 or 931-1032 after 4 p.m.
"This is something that the city needs to support," Johnson said. "All of these other towns do it and I would love to see the city of Sikeston step up and support this team. These young men give up their summer to come out and play the game for the fans.
"We're producing players. You may be seeing some possible American League and National League talent on the field."
Crockett's ultimate goal this season is simply for the people of Sikeston to enjoy Bulls baseball.
"I just hope that all the people in town can come out and see some good baseball and have a good time."
The Bulls' first game of the year will be a road game on May 29 against the Union City Greyhounds. They will make their way back to Sikeston on June 1 for their home-opener to take on the Fulton Railroaders.
To go along with the Bulls return, the KIT league recently added the West Kentucky Mavericks to give the league an even eight teams. The eight teams are divided into two divisions, the Eastern and the Western. The Bulls, the Firebirds, the Greyhounds and the Railroaders make up the Western Division.
The Eastern Division is composed of the Marion Bobcats, the Owensboro Oilers, the Tradewater Pirates and the Mavericks.
The KIT League consists of collegiate athletes in a wood-bat setting. The Kitty League was founded in 1903.

Anite, a global leader in wireless equipment testing technology, announced that it has launched full support for the Global Certification Forum (GCF) LTE data throughput performance testing requirements. This will enable mobile operators and device manufacturers to cost-efficiently test the data throughput performance of new devices in real-world conditions.
Subscribers expect to access more data intensive mobile services on the move and mobile operators are keen to verify the performance of new mobile devices before market introduction in order to ensure end-users' expectations are met. Having an open 3GPP standard for measuring data throughput performance (such as download speeds) allows device manufacturers to verify that performance earlier in a device's R&D lifecycle and be confident that results remain relevant to a wide range of operators.
The test cases measure the application layer data throughput performance of a mobile device by replicating various challenging real-world propagation conditions, such as those caused by fading and multi-path reflections. These conditions are created in a repeatable laboratory environment using Anite's Conformance Toolset, based on the Anite 9000's integrated fading capability. This provides a cost effective upgrade to existing Anite protocol test systems.
PTCRB, the wireless device certification forum run by North American mobile operators, is expected to adopt similar requirements in the coming months and Anite's Conformance Toolset customers can use the same platform to run PTCRB mandated data performance tests.
'Device manufacturers and mobile operators now have access to complete GCF LTE data performance testing capability as a simple upgrade to their existing conformance test solutions, which is acknowledged as the industry's most reliable and easy to use conformance testing solution', says Paul Beaver, Products Director at Anite. He continues, 'This will lead to more cost-effective development of devices that are more likely to meet end-users download speed expectations.'

The Ingham County Sheriff's Office took a report of a home invasion from the 62-hundred block of Kinneville road in Onondaga Township,, the homeowners there report a safe, and money were stolen.
Another home invasion report came from the 42-hundred block of Holt road,, in Delhi township,, money was also taken in this case, along with the homeowner's medication.
Also in Delhi township, the 51-hundred block of Amsterdam, someone broke into a home, entered the attached garage,, and stole car stero equipment from a vehicle.
Then in the 44-hundred block of Willoughby road,, in Delhi, the thief was a little more daring,, they entered an unlocked home, and stole various electronic items, while the homeowner was still inside the house.
Keep an eye on your yard ornaments if you live in southwest Clinton county,,

Fathers and Sons
by Ivan Turgenev
Fathers and Sons Suffering Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph). We used Rosemary Edmonds's translation.
Quote #1
Pavel Petrovich had not undressed but merely changed his patent-leather shoes for a pair of heel-less red Chinese slippers. In his hand he held the last number of Galignani but he was not reading; he gazed fixedly into the grate where a bluish flame flickered, dying down, then flaring up again... Heaven only knows where his thoughts meandered but they were not wandering entirely in the past; there was a grim, tense expression on his face and this is not so when a man is absorbed solely by his memories. (4.36)
Is the passage more or less affecting because the narrator does not actually tell us what is bothering Pavel? How would it strike you differently if he simply explained what was going on in Pavel's mind? If you had to guess at this point, what is Pavel so upset about?
Quote #2
Her whole behaviour was a maze of inconsistencies; the only letters which might justly have excited her husband's suspicions she wrote to a man she hardly knew, and her love had an element of sadness; she no longer laughed and joked with her heart's choice but would listen to him and gaze at him in bewilderment. (7.2)
This description of Pavel's love, Princess R., captures her neuroses, and hints at the way she will eventually descend into madness. What is it about her suffering that causes Pavel to suffer as much as he does? What is it about her distance from him (caused, in part, by mental imbalance) that compels him to follow her?
Quote #3
She had scratched lines in the shape of a cross over the sphinx and sent him a message that the solution of the enigma was the cross. (7.6)
What do you think the Princess R.'s cross means? Does she mean that the reason she acts so strange is because she is suffering? Is this too easy a dismissal of her strangeness? How was she suffering? Why? Is she, here, passing on the cross to Pavel or simply trying to answer his question?

Draft prospect Alfonzo Dennard arrested for assaulting a police officer | ProFootballTalk
There aren't many hard-and-fast rules when it comes to the period before a player gets drafted by the NFL.
"Don't punch a cop in the face" is at or near the top of the list.
Unfortunately, former Nebraska cornerback Alfonzo Dennard didn't get the memo, allegedly. According to the Omaha World-Herald, Dennard was arrested early Saturday on multiple charges, including suspicion of assaulting a Lincoln, Nebraska police officer.
Dennard allegedly was fighting with another man outside a bar. When the authorities tried to intervene, Dennard allegedly punched one of them in the face.
The second-round (before this incident) prospect faces charges of suspicion of third-degree assault on an officer, resisting arrest, and third-degree assault for the underlying fight.
Dennard, who is expected to remain in jail through the weekend, was ejected from the 2012 Capital One Bowl for fighting with South Carolina receiver Alshon Jeffrey.
In hindsight, it's a good thing that none of the officials got close enough to get cold-cocked.
I guess when this is your coach in college you don't learn a whole lot about controlling your emotions.

Analysts Cool On Qantas After Buyback, Guidance
Qantas investors take heed.
Experts on the stock haven't reacted as enthusiastically as the market did to its share buyback and profit guidance announced Thursday. In fact, most of them have cut their 12-month price target on the airline, even though its shares closed 4% higher by the final bell.
Investors interpreted the news as a sign the group's wayward international unit is back on the straight and narrow. But pundits at investment banks including Goldman Sachs, Macquarie and UBS aren't convinced.
To note, these people have got it wrong on Qantas before. Earlier this year analysts were caught out with "buy" recommendations and lofty price targets on Qantas immediately before the airline announced a shock profit downgrade in June that sent its shares tumbling.
Could it all just be a case of once bitten, twice shy?
Looking at analysts' client notes Friday, it's easy to identify some solid reasons for their trepidation.
First it's said that although Qantas's underlying pre-tax profit guidance for the year to June 30 of A$180 million-A$230 million leaves room for an improvement on last year's A$202 million, it includes a one-off A$135 million settlement payment from Boeing.
More important though is their take on Australia's domestic travel market.
"We believe the market is overlooking the extent to which Qantas's domestic market, which has long been considered the cash cow of the group, has taken a material hit to earnings," says Russell Shaw, an analyst at Macquarie.
Qantas's financial performance has long been buttressed by its dominance of the Australian domestic travel market, long supported by a resources-led economy that has stimulated business travel, particularly between financial hubs such as Sydney and Melbourne and the mining capital of Perth.
The so-called Flying Kangaroo's ascendency is now being challenged by Virgin Australia, which has started expanding capacity and putting business-class seats on its planes. The ensuing turf war has seen prices on business-class tickets fall to some their lowest levels in decades, putting pressure on airlines' revenue.
UBS analyst Simon Mitchell says Qantas's profit guidance implies a 6% degradation in domestic unit revenue.
"We expect these pressures to dissipate in the second half, but the typical bias towards the first half means that the airline will only be marginally profitable in the the second half in our view," Mr. Mitchell says.
UBS has nevertheless kept a "buy" recommendation on Qantas on valuation grounds, while lowering its price target to A$1.60 from A$1.67. The shares closed Thursday at A$1.28.
Macquarie kept a "neutral" recommendation and A$1.44 price target, while Goldman Sachs kept a "neutral" call and lowered its price target to A$1.41 from A$1.44.
Credit Suisse, while lowering its target to A$1.76 from A$1.95, remains the most bullish broker on the stock.
"Despite the weakness in domestic, we still believe the upside in the stock remains the structural turnaround of the international business," analyst Nicholas Markiewicz says.
Key catalysts that could drive the shares higher include regulatory approval of Qantas's proposed alliance with Emirates Airline, capacity rationalization in the domestic market, and continued evidence the groups international turnaround strategy is working.

|HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server
Will hylafax properly handle this situation ? will it dial all 200 orThe question is: can your e-mail server can handle it. I think it depends on the implementation, but if a server treats the whole sending process as a single message, it can hit a timeout and try to resend it. You end up with an endless fax stream (coversation with customers afterwards is a pure delight :)). I created a dedicated web panel for bulk faxing and limited the recipients number to 10 (default on Postfix I think).
300 whatever numbers and send em off ? Or is there a limit to how
long the recipient list can be.
Also.. on the same subject, supposed hylafax can do it, I only got 5I think there is a parameter that's responsible for how long the job can be on the queue. You can tweak that. Otherwise, all the jobs just pop into the queue and stay there.
faxmodems, would there be certain settings I'd need to tweak ?
Thanks for the help.
