Recent articles on clinical decision-making have proposed sophisticated quantitative methods for improving the physician's clinical judgment. Actual clinical decisions, however, are influenced by interactions between the clinician, the patient, and the sociocultural milieu as well as by biomedical considerations. This paper explores these sociologic influences on the decision-making process. Four types of sociologic factors influence the clinician's judgment: the characteristics of the patient; the characteristics of the clinician; the clinician's interaction with his profession and the health care system; and the clinician's relationship with the patient. To illustrate sociologic influences on clinical decision-making, this paper presents observations from the literature of sociology, clinical psychology, psychiatry, and medicine. Further studies are needed to provide additional empirical information.

Could CES hold a Medfield-powered Red Ridge tablet by Intel?
FCC filing suggests the answer is 'yes'
By Michelle Fitzsimmons 23 hrs ago
Related stories
Intel's next gen tablet chips leak with Bay Trail-T and Valleyview-T
LG reportedly planning in-house chips for CES 2013 reveal
Intel developing new tablet chip
Intel is suddenly becoming very interesting.
First, word got around that the chip maker might have two tablet processors to show off at CES 2013 - the Bay Trail-T and a SoC called the Valleyview-T. The chips are said to bring quad-core power, long battery lives and a whole lot of improvements that could give Qualcomm's S4 a taste of its dust.
Now we're seeing a filing from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) containing a tiny label with a load of info.
The 20 millimeter by 35 millimeter tag is plastered (figuratively) on a device based on Intel's Red Ridge tablet platform. Red Ridge, you might remember, is based on the company's Medfield processor.
Medfield minefield
Relatively little has been spoken about Medfield in recent months, and what's been said isn't entirely positive.
Intel successfully portedAndroid 4.1: Jelly Bean to Medfield in September, meaning devices like the Orange San Diego and ZTE Grand X IN could get a sugar bump up from Android 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich, though that was an internal development with no commercial roll out.
What also came to light back then was that the chip couldn't support LTE in phones, kind of a "wa-wa" in today's mobile world.
However, Intel also said that it was planning to ship LTE products in late 2012, with deployment ramping up next year. Medfield might even push out a dual-core version to rival quad-core competitors.
Could Medfield start the year off with a triumphant debut...possibly at a major event like, say, CES?
The labeled device the FCC tested ran ICS and housed both Bluetooth and NFC capability. It also picked up 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi.
The filing also reveals something tantalizing: the device tested was apparently a production model, meaning a commercial unit could be ready in the next four weeks. That puts the timing squarely in CES territory.
While we're not the gambling type, it sounds like a pretty sure bet Intel could have a Red Ridge-ready, Medfield-packing tablet to show off in Vegas next month.
From my understand (someone correct if I am wrong), there was a leak earlier in the year that showed Intel had an excelerated roadmap and that Bay Trail would be available sometime in 2013. But last month there was another leak showing Bay Trail would not be available until 2014. So if latest leak is true then the techradar article is wrong and this Red Ridge tablet is probably a dual core medfield...the z2580....still should be the fastest SoC in market. If it is Bay Trail, then EVERYTHING changes!
Well, let's keep in mind that the difference between sometime in 2013 and sometime in 2014 could be as little as a day...
Sentiment: Strong Buy
ARM has no response to Intel's Bay Trail technology. None whatsoever.
Is this guy wrong? He says Bay Trail for Tablets is coming in 2014.
Intel roadmap leak outlines Bay Trail-based Atom for tablets in detail: 3D cameras, half the energy draw
By Jon Fingas posted Nov 19th, 2012 at 3:39 PM 40
Intel roadmap leak outlines Bay Trailbased Atom for tablets in detail 3D cameras, half the energy draw
Intel isn't having much success keeping its upcoming Bay Trail-era Atom platform under wraps. If the previous overview leak wasn't enough, a roadmap uncovered by Mobile Geeks has just explored the finer points of the tablet-oriented Bay View-T and its Valleyview-T processors. The most surprising leap may be in graphics: while we knew the GPU core would be much faster, we're now seeing that the new Intel hardware can output to as much as a 2,560 x 1,600 display and record stereoscopic, 1080p 3D video in the event that 3D-capable tablets come back into vogue. Likewise, battery life should be rosier than you'd expect; Bay Trail-T can reach the same performance at half the power, which should lead to about two extra hours of video playback for at least some of the 1.6GHz to 2.1GHz processors in the lineup. Don't get too excited by the potential, however. If the leak is accurate, Bay Trail for tablets isn't expected until early 2014, by which point 22-nanometer Atoms will be a step behind the cutting edge.

I always wanted to own a book (comic) or video shop.....I shoot for the sky
Is this the one Stickers mentioned? They've got everything on computer file or something???
My mate just told me the bookshop in the Paragon (is that right???) has loads and loads of books (new though) a massive selection, and if they ain't got it they'll order it for you.

Students at Redbud Run got to ask questions of hot-air balloon pilot Kevin Poeppelman, who showed the children how one works. A few lucky teachers and staff members even took tethered rides in the aircraft.
Hundreds of students cheered — while some looked up in open-mouthed wonder — as a hot-air balloon lifted off on Friday morning.
The cheering then turned to playful chants of "cut the…

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.

Reuse those old corks to make your own Cork Tree Ornaments from Andrea Currie. This homemade Christmas ornament looks great on any tree.
- Corks (6 for a small ornament sized tree and 10 for a larger tree decoration)
- Screw cap (for larger tree)
- Small cork or half cork (for smaller tree)
- Hot glue gun and hot glue
- White glue (Aileen's tacky glue)
- Fine glitter (3 colors for a festive look)
- Brads and/or other small festive embellishments (Making Memories Large Snowflake Brads and Crystal Brads)
- Small eyelet screws
- Craft knife
- If you have bottle caps fill them up with your decorative glitters (1 cap per color).
- Reserve a cap for your white glue.
- Decorate both ends of your corks by dipping them into a small amount of white glue. Immediately dip the glued ends into the glitter making sure not to rub off the glue or glitter.
- Repeat this with all corks.
- To insert brads into the corks use your craft knife to start a small hole and then gently push your brads into the cork. This should be secure enough without any glue. If it's loose secure with a quick dry glue.
- For other loose embellishments use a quick dry glue
- To make your bottom row of corks start with a strip of hot glue on one side of your first cork then press your second corks' side to it. Continue making your bottom row of corks this way. For Large tree your bottom row will be 4 corks. For the small tree it will be 3 corks.
- Your second row of corks will rest within the valleys that the first row created but they valleys have small space in which you don't want glue to show. To adhere the corks into the valleys without showing hot glue in your final piece you will need to place 2 strips of hot glue on either side of the valley and not directly into the valley.
- Then quickly place your cork onto the hot glue before it dries.
- Repeat step 2 but also add a small strip of hot glue to the cork you just placed so that its' new neighbor will stick to it and the next valley. Repeat step 2 and 3 for subsequent rows.
- For the trunk you will either adhere a screw bottle cap (open side facing down), small cork or half cork to the bottom layer of corks with a nickel size amount of hot glue.
- For the ornament hook create a hole by working craft knife into the top cork. Screw in your eyelet screw.

Man accused of pointing a gun at another person on FridayMarch 19,2013Man to face charges for gun threat
BENNINGTON — A man who was removed from an appointed town office last year after police said he falsified information on his application was accused over the weekend of pointing a gun at a man.
Chris Gagne, 38, of Bennington, is expected to be charged with felony counts of unlawful restraint, aggravated assault with deadly weapon and carrying a deadly weapon, according to a press release from Lt. Lloyd Dean of the Bennington Police.
Dean said that a Bennington resident, who police did not identify, came to the police station on Friday around 2:30 p.m. to make a complaint. The resident said Gagne pointed a gun at him during an argument inside a Union Street apartment.
Officers John Behan and Lawrence Cole took a statement from the resident and a witness who saw the two arguing. Behan obtained a search warrant for the Union Street apartment.
Police approached the apartment and knocked loudly with no answer. The apartment was kept under surveillance until a team of officers could be brought in to execute the search warrant but Gagne was not inside.
Police learned that Gagne was inside a home in Williamstown, Mass.
Officers with the Williamstown Police Department arrested Gagne at 2:30 a.m. at the home on Saturday as a fugitive from Vermont.
Dean said Gagne is expected to be arraigned in Massachusetts as a fugitive, which will begin the process by which he will be extradited back to Vermont to face the felony charges.
Gagne also has pending misdemeanor charges of false pretenses, possession of stolen property, providing false information to police and false advertising.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER After sitting on the Vermont Supreme Court for nearly 30 years, Justice John Dooley...

Advice to Clippers: Stop Protests, Win Title
Unless you wear a white hood or support the views of a Nevada cattle rancher named Cliven Bundy, who recently suggested that black people are ``better off as slaves, picking cotton,?? you are repulsed by Donald Sterling today. You completely understand why Sterling?s coach, an African American, is contemplating quitting after the season, and why Sterling?s players, most of whom are African American, aren?t enthusiastic about winning a playoff series for his franchise, wearing black wristbands and socks in solidarity after staging a silent pregame protest against the owner by shedding their ``CLIPPERS?? warm-up jackets and wearing logo-free red shirts. This isn?t just another ignorant lout making some ugly news.
This is a referendum on racism in America, a checkpoint in history, with the predominantly black and eminently prospering NBA as the stage. This is about underlying tension among players who left the negotiating table bitterly two years ago, thinking David Stern and the owners he represented as commissioner were a little too ``plantation?? for their 21st-century tastes. This is about LeBron James wondering a few weeks ago why baseball?s Miguel Cabrera could sign a record-shattering 10-year, $292 million contract extension while James, the country?s most celebrated athlete, has his salary capped with a six-year, $109 million deal. This is about Stern, in a curious decision that helped Sterling?s business when the commissioner should have been more aggressively investigating his history of racial discrimination, allowing star point guard Chris Paul to join the Clippers in a 2011 trade after vetoing a deal that would have shipped Paul to the far more successful Los Angeles team, the Lakers.
This is big enough for President Obama to admonish Sterling. ``The owner is reported to have said some incredibly offensive racist statements that were published. I don?t think I have to interpret those statements for you; they kind of speak for themselves. When people ? when ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance you don?t really have to do anything, you just let them talk. And that?s what happened here,?? Obama said. ``Obviously, the NBA is a league that is beloved by fans all across the country. It?s got an awful lot of African-American players. It?s steeped in African-American culture. And I suspect that the NBA is going to be deeply concerned in resolving this. ? The United States continues to wrestle with the legacy of race, slavery and segregation. That?s still there ? the vestiges of discrimination. We?ve made enormous strides, but you?re going to continue to see this percolate up every so often. And I think that we just have to be clear and steady in denouncing it, teaching our children differently, but also remaining hopeful that part of why some statements like this stand out so much is because there has been this shift in how we view ourselves.??
This is big enough for Magic Johnson, who might be the best candidate to buy the Clippers, to say Sterling no longer should own the team. This is big enough for Michael Jordan, sometimes reluctant to make social statements, to say he is ``disgusted?? and ``outraged?? by Sterling?s ``sickening?? views. ``There is no room in the NBA -- or anywhere else -- for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed,?? Jordan said. ``I am appalled that this type of ignorance still exists within our country and at the highest levels of our sport. In a league where the majority of players are African-American, we cannot and must not tolerate discrimination at any level." This is big enough for community leaders in Los Angeles and around the country to rebuke Sterling, for black leaders to suggest black fans boycott Clippers games starting with Tuesday night?s Game 5 of the Clippers-Golden State series. This is so big that even Sterling?s wife, Rochelle, showed up in Oakland for the game after the new commissioner, Adam Silver, asked Sterling not to appear.
``I do not condone those statements that you heard. I do not believe in them,?? she said. ``I am not a racist. I never have been, never will be. The team is the most important thing to my family.?? It was her way of making it known that the Sterling family, if the team is taken away from him, still wants to own the Clippers, and also a way to show her face as she and the family sue the woman in the now-infamous audiotape, V. Stiviano (one of several names she goes by), for allegedly ``embezzling?? more than $1.8 million from Sterling during an intimate relationship that began in 2010.
Yes, the Sterling debacle is about much more than a basketball series.
But the best way for the Clippers to exact revenge on Sterling ? and all the evils his words reflect ? is by winning this basketball series. And the next one. And the one after that. And the one after that, which would be the NBA Finals, which would announce with a bullhorn to Donald Sterling that they rose above him.
``If we can pull this off all the way,?? said the coach, Doc Rivers, ``I think that would be a terrific message. Our message is to play. Our message is that we?re going to let no one and nothing stop us from what we want to do. And I think that?s a good message.??
``We?re going to be one, everything we do, we do it together. Our message ? it sounds simple ? it?s stay together, play ball,? Paul told ABC. ``We worked really hard to be where we are. I couldn?t imagine going through anything like this with anybody leading us other than Doc. He?s been amazing and for us, we have to focus on what we?re trying to do.??
Yet with all due respect to symbolic solidarity, the Clippers were distracted by it in a 118-97 blowout loss in Game 4. Energy was going to be a problem for the players after the whirlwind events of the previous 36 hours, starting when TMZ posted the audio of Sterling?s racist comments during a March conversation with Stiviano, whose questions sounded like a set-up. As Paul said, they need to listen to Rivers, who would have preferred they devoted all their thoughts and energies to the game instead of going through protest rituals.
``I knew about it. I didn't voice my opinion," Rivers said. ``I wasn't thrilled about it, to be honest. But if that's what they want to do, that's what they want to do.
``I'm not going to deny we had other stuff. I just believe when the game starts, the game starts and nobody cares anymore. Golden State surely didn't care."
It would be a damn shame if the Clippers lost this series because they were weighed down by Sterling?s shame. They are right to target him as the enemy, and they?ve made their collective statement about what they think of his franchise. But they cannot fold simply because he signs their paychecks. And they can?t wilt to pressures from black groups to take a grand stand and boycott a game, which likely would have been ruled as a forfeit by the NBA. To boycott would be to quit. And quitting would be the worst alternative at this point.
Winning is the best option. They can?t win when they?re thinking about protests.
``Maybe our focus wasn't in the right place would be the easiest way to say it," said guard J.J. Redick, who happens to be white.
They return to Staples Center for Game 5. Expect an insane scene of activism, media frenzy and angst in a city with a history of racial violence. ``We're going home now, and usually that would mean we're going to our safe haven. And I don't even know if that's true,?? RIvers said.
Said Paul: ``I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about what it is going to be like. Because our fans have been amazing all season long, and obviously I hope that it will be the same. You just never know. They've been amazing, and we wouldn't be where we are without them. But it's tough."
Would they understand if Clippers fans boycotted the game? ``I would understand," Rivers said. ``I hope not. We need them. I can tell you that. We need everybody. We play for them. We always have. So we do need them. We're going to need them bad on Tuesday. We're going to need them there. We're going to need them in our corner. But, listen, I get all of it. Like I said to the gentlemen, someone wants to do it another way, I get that, too, and I have no problem with that either."
It is hoped that Silver, as he said Saturday night, will act swiftly and at least suspend Sterling indefinitely before Tuesday night arrives. Just as important will be what Rivers and the players say and do in the coming hours. RIvers admitted he should have done more homework on Sterling?s racist past before taking the job last summer. He said Sunday that he isn?t sure he?ll return next season if Sterling, for some ungodly reason, is still the owner.
``Don?t know yet,?? he said. ``I?m going to leave it at that.??
As layers of anxiety hang thick over Los Angeles and a nation, we wait on the new commissioner. The NBA Players Association wants Sterling punished with the maximum possible penalties and doesn?t want him anywhere near his team or the public eye during the postseason. ``The players are waiting for the commissioner to act decisively," said Sacramento mayor and former NBA star Kevin Johnson, who is helping guide the union in this matter. ``They want the maximum of what the constitution and bylaws will allow and we're trying to figure out what that is. They want the maximum. They want a decision to be made quickly and decisively. If you don't respect the players in this league, then the values that we all espouse are for naught."
Donald T. Sterling should be banned for life by the NBA. Anything less may cause a racial uprising in this country. While hoping Silver realizes that, I also hope Rivers and the players realize that winning not only can ease some of the tension, but also create a proud, honorable place for this team in American history.

By DAVID DRIVER
HARRISONBURG, Va. – Anthony Nelson came to life just in time for UMass on Saturday in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley on a nippy day. And his late-game heroics may have saved the season for the Minutemen, who came back to beat James Madison, 21-14, after trailing by 11 points at halftime.
Nelson's first catch of the day came on fourth-and-8 from the JMU 28 late in the third quarter. He made the catch on the sidelines between two defenders and the play of 19 yards gave the Minutemen a first down at the JMU 9. But the drive stalled and Caleb Violette made a 25-yard field goal with 3:04 left in the third quarter to cut the JMU lead to 14-6.
In his first punt return of the season, Nelson went 53 yards later in the third quarter to give UMass a first down at the JMU 17.
"We needed a spark," said UMass head coach Kevin Morris. "That was the spark we needed to finish this game off for us."
A few plays after the punt return, quarterback Kyle Havens threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Julian Talley to make it 14-12, and Havens' pass to Dan Sheeran on a two-point conversion tied the game at 14. The visitors had failed on their first four two-point conversions this year, all on passes.
When UMass got the ball back at the JMU 48, the running of Jonathan Hernandez (137 yards) set up a 1-yard TD pass from Havens to Andrew Krevis for the game-winning score.
Nelson, filling in for regular returner Talley, pointed out the huge block by teammate Woody Carter IV on his punt return.
"If he goes down I have to be ready," Nelson said of Talley. "I have always been prepared for that. It has always been scripted if he goes down I will go in. He came up to me and said it is your time to go in. At first I thought it was going to be a regular return, like 10 yards. Then Woody Carter came out of nowhere."
No. 18 UMass (5-3, 3-2) broke a two-game losing streak and kept its post-season hopes alive against the No. 15 Dukes (4-4, 1-4), which lost for the third straight time.
"It brings life to us," said Hernandez. It was the fourth comeback win for the Minutemen this season.
Havens completed 15 of 19 passes for 163 yards and two scores.
"It was a sense of urgency all week in practice for us," Havens said. "At halftime we were calm. We didn't want to look at it as a playoff game but it was. This group of guys loves playing together and we didn't want to play just three more games" after facing JMU.
JMU took a 14-3 lead in the first half behind quarterback Drew Duzik, who ran for 98 yards and threw for 179 more. But JMU head coach Mickey Matthews said he was not resting easy at halftime.
"I thought the three (UMass points) was kind of a mirage at the half. It is not like we stopped them a lot in the first half," he said.
He turned out to be right. UMass held JMU to 127 total yards in the second half after giving up 232 in the first half. All-CAA linebacker Tyler Holmes, who grew up about two hours away in Blacksburg, Va., had 14 tackles for UMass and made a big sack on the Dukes' last drive.
"It was a great call. The coach made a great call and I made it," Holmes said.
UMass took a 3-0 lead on a field goal by Violette, from Blacksburg (Va.) High, from 33 yards out with 3:05 left in the first quarter. The kick came one play after a pass intended for Talley bounced off his hands and straight up into the air. Two JMU defenders were in position to make an interception but the ball fell incomplete.
JMU quarterback Dudzik had a 38-yard run in the fourth quarter to give the Dukes the ball at the UMass 19. The Dukes got a first down on fourth-and-one at the UMass 10. Two plays later running back Jamal Sullivan scored on an 8-yard run and the PAT gave JMU a 7-3 lead with7:28 left in the first half. JMU took a 14-3 lead with 4:15 left in the first half on a 2-yard run by Sullivan.
UMass wideout Nelson, who had a career-high 11 catches last week against New Hampshire, did not have a catch in the first half and finished with two against JMU. But that was enough as UMass kept its playoff hopes alive.
NOTES: Bill Sisler, the video coordinator for UMass, is a JMU graduate ... UMass senior redshirt center John Ihne left the field on the first play of the game after he suffered a separated left shoulder, according to a school spokesman. He was replaced by Quinton Sales, a redshirt sophomore. "He knows this offense inside and out," Morris said of Ihne. "Quinton came in and did a great job." ... UMass hosts Maine on Nov. 6.

I really enjoyed this group - the venue was intimate, so we could really interact with the Dubs. They are really funny guys and love what they do! They have a great time playing and I had a phenomenal time listening and dancing! My friends and I met them afterward and they are extremely nice, fun-loving guys. I went home and got their albums that night! Great show!!!
Quotes & Highlights
See the Young Dubliners on Jimmy Kimmel Live in April 2011, or check out their website.
Check out the Goldstar reviews of the band's March 2011 performance at Los Angeles' Key Club.
The Young Dubliners are excited for the release of Saints and Sinners, their second album on 429 Records—and first batch of original material since 2005's critically acclaimed Real World. After taking an exciting retro, rootsy labor of love detour to give a shout out to the masters of Irish song past and present on their 2007 429 Records debut With All Due Respect, The Irish Sessions, the Young Dubliners drew inspiration from the trials and tribulations of the past few years on the road where they have encountered their share of, to borrow from an Irish proverb, "poets and patriots, saints and sinners", for the new album.
Seamlessly blending their rock and Celtic influences into a high energy, anthemic and lyrically poignant mix, the band whose lineup since 2002 includes co-founder Keith Roberts (vocals, guitar), fellow Dubliner Brendan Holmes (bass, vocals), American-born members Bob Boulding (guitar, vocals), Chas Waltz (violin, keyboards, harp, mandolin, vocals) and Dave Ingraham (drums, percussion)—jumps energetically from ballad to barn burner, documenting as they go the vibrant yet chaotic world they find themselves in. From edgy political tunes to the travails of life in an internationally touring band, Saints and Sinners chronicles and tackles it all with joy, wit, enthusiasm and a profound belief that things can get better. They're joined once again by Uillean pipe and pennywhistle master Eric Rigler, famed for his film work on the Titanic and Braveheart soundtracks, who has appeared on the bands last three albums and is a regular touring member.

Serif PagePlus 11
- Great value, Easy for beginners to understand, Intuitive interface
- No InDesign or QuarkXPress support, Some awkward tools
Bottom Line
PagePlus is an ideal desktop-publishing app for small business use. High-end pros may sniff at the use of wizards, but as a standalone desktop publishing app or PDF editor there's no better value for money.
Price$ None (AUD)
Special Offers
For most of its life, budget page-layout program Serif PagePlus offered competition to the equally cheap and cheerful Microsoft Publisher. But version 11.0 of this venerable program has loftier ambitions - it is clearly intended to compete in the same rarefied professional market dominated by expensive desktop publishing apps such as Adobe InDesign.
The good news is that despite these aims, PagePlus 11.0 remains true to its roots. It's still inexpensive and remarkably easy for beginners to understand. For those with no desktop-publishing experience, a wizard guides you through building respectable-looking documents from templates. The program's interface, further polished in version 11.0, is as intuitive as a desktop publishing app is going to get.
But improvements in PagePlus 11.0 will appeal more to designers and business people. PagePlus already offers pre-press quality PDF export - increasingly welcome as PDF becomes the currency of print publishing - and this version goes further. It can now edit PDFs directly, something no other DTP app can do - although InDesign users with Adobe CS can use Acrobat.
In practice, PagePlus moaned as if it was a recalcitrant teenager when we attempted to open some InDesign-created PDFs, complaining that it didn't understand all their components. But aside from automatic font conversion - we didn't have the fonts used in the PDFs - the results were stunning. Text and picture elements were correctly isolated and although text flow was often broken into smaller paragraphs, these remained easily editable.
Working with PDFs is near-seamless. You can drop a multipage PDF into a standard PagePlus document and if the page sizes don't match, existing ones can be automatically resized to match those of the PDF. You can then save the combined document as a PagePlus file, PDF or even as a bitmap image. But anyone thinking of dumping their copy of InDesign or QuarkXPress in celebration of this versatility should note that there is no way to export editable files to either.
Thanks to established features such as mail merge, PagePlus has built up a following in the business market. Another feature of version 11.0 - the ability to create interactive PDF forms that can be filled in and submitted online - will further that appeal. To quickly build a form you drag elements such as text fields and radio buttons from a toolbar onto the page. When completed, forms are usually submitted to bespoke web-based apps for processing. Sensibly understanding that few will have this ability, Serif offers a free online service that collects form data and forwards it to your email address.
There are still niggles with PagePlus, although these relate more to usability than features. For example, ruler guides stubbornly confound common standards: dragging a guide from a document's vertical ruler creates a horizontal rather than vertical guide. Equally awkward is an over-complicated Align tool which makes it harder to line up items than it should be. But if we're reduced to criticising these, it only highlights how good the package is.
Alongside support for native layered Photoshop files, PagePlus 11.0 offers workman-style image-editing features. By selecting an image in a document and clicking a toolbar icon, you can add adjustments, such as Levels or Curves, or add effects, including blur or dropshadow, directly to an image. Adjustments are applied in layers in a dialog box and be easily re-ordered or deleted. It beats a trip to an image-editing app.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Creating Sustainable Theatre Artists
Since January 1st, 2013, I've created a webcast called Dramapreneur TV. This website is housed on Dramapreneur.Com and has the goal of creating sustainable theatre artists. Here is the very first episode, recorded January 1st, 2013.
With this came many ideas, and it morphed into a thirty second video called "Epic Ideas That Might Just Change the World" which is this:
And finally we're here! This is the next evolution in Dramapreneur.Com. A book called "Endless Immensity: A Startup Guide for Dramapreneurs" which takes a lot of the ideas that have been incorporated in this webcast and blog and turns them into a startup guide for you and your new venture. Be it theatre company, film company, small business, or just managing your own brand, this is the book that takes you through all of that. This book will deal with the ins and outs of that career after college is over. How to become a sustainable theatre artist in the real world.
I've spent 20 years of my life creating this book, and now I'm finally putting it down on paper. This makes the perfect book for you, for a gift for that theatre nut in your life, or someone who is just creatively stuck in whatever they are doing. It's also a great book for those who are on the other side of the equation, those people who love the theatre but may be afraid to jump into it. Those wayard saints who have wandered off the beaten path of creativity.
I hope that this book is an awakening and a creative kick in the pants that everyone needs to succeed. That's where you come in.
Who's writing this anyway?
Starr Hardgrove is a theatre artist living in Chicago, Illinois. He received a Bachelor's Degree from Southeastern Oklahoma State University and has created a major networking website, a film company, a theatre company and several other ventures including Falstaff Coffee Company and Dramapreneur.Com. Mr. Hardgrove has performed in over one hundred theatre productions and is also active in the technical side of theatre in the areas of lighting, set and sound design. When not doing all of these very time consuming ventures, Starr enjoys spending time with his wife Bonny and their two cats, Paris and Dublin.
And here's where you come in...
We're asking for 1k. One Thousand Dollars. In book launching money, that's not a lot. This is an independent project in every sense of the word, and we need your help to get it off the ground. To give you an idea of what the average Kickstarter book raises on the network, I've taken two at random that are similar to our project, first a book called "Start Here: Read Your Way Into 25 Authors" that has given itself a goal of $295. The good thing about this is that it will most likely reach that goal and Kickstart it's way over the top. The second book is a book called "To Be or Not To Be: That Is The Adventure" which raised about $580,985. This is an amazing feat for independent books and is a great success story. So where does the 1k number come from?
Well, I figured 50 books at 21 dollars. I love hardbacks, so I speculated that this one would sell the most. I was right and the book so far has been selling that level the most. The money will be used for the production of the book which I will be doing myself, and also go to a book trailer that will promote the book. I am actually looking for someone that is really good with book trailers, so if you know anyone that I could work with, let me know.
This is my first book, and I'm super excited to become an author and finally have my name on the cover of something. It's a joy to bring my love of entrepreneurship and theatre together in this book and I offer it to you guys. May it entertain, inform, and enlighten you to do great things.
Best Regards,
Starr Hardgrove, Dramapreneur
The possible delays for this book currently are formatting issues and registration. If I don't make the goal, then I will be forced to eat the costs of some of these and that will come with book sales. The setbacks will be minimal but i feel that they will definitely be challenges that I can meet head on. One of the precepts of being an entrepreneur is that you have to role with the punches, and that is the biggest one that I can think of at this time. Everything will be delivered in the time allotted. Thanks for your support.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Why 1k in funding? What are you going to do with that? Excellent question, and one that I had put into thought but didn't voice until today in an email, so here's how I reached the number and what I plan to do with it. Since this is my first book, I set a goal of 50 copies to sell. I came upon this number from the idea that if I can reach 50 copies, the word would spread from those people into more interest in the topic. I came upon the 21 dollar amount because I am making this book completely independent, and no one is helping me with the publishing. So I will be making the hard copies as well, the ebook copy will be made with a computer and is only six dollars. So hitting a mark somewhere in between would mean that the interest in the book is enough to take it further and begin the next project. Would I love to sell 10,000 copies, sure. That's another goal that I've put in the back of my mind, it would allow for an upgrade of website, camera, and other elements of Dramapreneur TV and Dramapreneur.Com that would just keep the conversation growing. But, ultimately, my goal is to help those who are struggling to stay creative to have a means by which to do so! To turn starving artists into striving artists. Thanks for helping me do so and thanks to Jimmy for the excellent question.

Berry Tramel: "When word leaked that the Thunder brass was lobbying Gasol, including talk that OKC was a place he would enjoy living, I knew it was a lost cause. Remember the old saying about shopping in exclusive stores? If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it? Well, if you have to convince Gasol that your city meets his standards, you've lost the cause already. It was a good effort. It was a worthy endeavor. But the truth is, the Thunder had little hope of signing Gasol. Most NBA players don't discriminate much on geography. They like warm weather, and beaches are nice, and the bright lights of New York and LA have an advantage. But culture and cosmopolitan status affect few. Pau Gasol is one of the few."
Andrew Sharp of Grantland: "Houston also stole James Harden from OKC, and it was a brilliant move at the time. Everyone around the league was cursing Morey's evil genius. Two years later, Harden's a first-team All-NBA guard … and he's neck-and-neck with Dwight for least-enjoyable teammate in the NBA, and probably the biggest reason everything fell apart for the Rockets in this year's playoffs."
Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com on LeBron's power play: "There are three main reasons James is going this route. First, it protects him from missing out on being able to cash in if and when the salary cap jumps in the coming years and provides for a matching large jump in the maximum salary. Second, it opens the door for James to be in position to take advantage if the maximum salary is either abolished or vastly raised in 2017 when a new CBA can be negotiated. You can be assured that James will be heavily involved in those talks. He envisions getting a Michael Jordan-esque payday at the end of his career. Like when Jordan made $63 million over his final two years with the Chicago Bulls, James could put himself in position to get some huge back-end paydays to make up for how he feels he's been underpaid along the way. Third, the short deals keep his team under pressure to continue spending on talent around him. With the chance to become a free agent every year, James will constantly have the ability to exert maximum influence around the team."
Marc Stein of ESPN.com on Team USA's roster: "Aldridge and Leonard have apparently opted for rest this summer after their long seasons, with Leonard also in the midst of negotiations on a contract extension with the Spurs. Wall is also recharging after the Wizards' run to the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, but the door has not been closed on a late summons to camp at month's end after the recent pullout of Russell Westbrook, with Westbrook deciding to give a right knee that endured three surgeries last season more time to mend."
Bourbon Street Shots has a season in review of Anthony Morrow: "It's rare to see a guy so effective from every spot behind the line. Normally, guys become specialists from the corner or one of the wings, but Morrow is over 42% from all five spots. Specifically, Morrow was very good coming off screens (40%) and in spot up opportunities (43.4%) from deep, but where he really thrived was in transition, where he shot 47.4% from three. Morrow headed straight for those wing spots and killed teams when they didn't find him in transition. And when they did, it opened up the lane for a guard or AD streaking to the basket. In addition to his personal productivity, Morrow makes others better just by occupying a defender in all situations. Point blank, he is just a guy you can't leave."
Grant Jerrett is rumored to have a multi-year deal with the Thunder coming. Upside and Motor breaks him down: "Having just turned 21 last week, Jerrett is definitely a D-Leaguer to watch for the next couple of seasons. With the need for floor-spacing and shooting from big men so utterly prevalent in today's game, Jerrett is as good a bet as any other player in the D-League right now to make the NBA eventually. There is probably a universe where Jerrett continues to develop and reaches the level that Channing Frye hit this season with the Suns. That's the kind of talent we're talking about here. Whether or not he can get there will be up to his work ethic and the Tulsa/Oklahoma City coaching staffs. Even if it doesn't work out like that, this was a no-brainer decision for the Thunder, and one that should pay dividends for them moving into the future."

Born on March 29, 1927, in Allerton, she was the daughter of Russell and Margaret Stevenson.
Mrs. McGaheran's life was spent as a life-long resident of, and in service to, Hunterdon County; attending Clinton Public School where she later taught for 36 years — after earning a bachelor's degree from Montclair State College, followed by a master's degree from The College of New Jersey.
On July 22, 1950, she married Patrick McGaheran, to whom she remained married for 62 years until his passing, Monday, Dec. 31, 2012.
Mrs. McGaheran is remembered as a dedicated, committed and passionate member of the Clinton community, where her service included, but was not limited to, president of the Women's Auxiliary of the Clinton Fire Department; first vice president of the Jennie Haver Scholarship Fund; chairperson and trustee of Hunterdon County Municipal Office; town historian; town councilwoman; fire commissioner; member of the Board of Directors for N.J. Council of Mayors; and trustee of the Clinton Red Mill Museum. She received numerous awards and recognition for her service.
Mrs. McGaheran's commitment to service in Clinton continued after her retirement from teaching when she was elected to Clinton Town Council in 1988 and then in 1993, became Clinton's first woman mayor — a position and distinction she held for five consecutive terms, and during which she was honored by the New Jersey General Assembly as a "Woman of Achievement."
During this time she also worked tirelessly to establish the North Branch of the Hunterdon County Library, which opened in 1999. Mrs. McGaheran was driven by a belief that "every one of us should volunteer at whatever level we can manage. We have so much to enjoy and therefore to protect." In short, Mrs. McGaheran loved Clinton and its residents.
However, undoubtedly, she considered her greatest distinction to be that of beloved grandmother.
Mrs. McGaheran is survived by her son, Pat McGaheran and his wife, Paige, of Nazareth, Pa.; three grandchildren, Jordan Keyes, Sarah Keyes and Brendan McGaheran; sister-in-law Nancy McGaheran; and nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her sisters Helen Mading, Janet Crouse and Betty Schaarschmidt

TUSCALOOSA -- Cool temperatures and gray skies did not stop Crimson Tide fans from showing up early for a national championship celebration here Saturday morning.
Long lines were formed at every gate at Bryant-Denny stadium an hour before the gates opened at noon.
Despite the lines and overcast skies, fans waiting were in good spirits. An occasional "Roll Tide!" yelled at random kept spirits lifted and helped give a game-day feeling outside the stadium
Gates opened at 11:58 a.m., soliciting more cheers from fans and causing the "Roll Tide!" yells to become more frequent as fans made their way into the stadium. The first 50,000 fans were given posters commemorating the 13th claimed national championship and a perfect 14-0 season.
The posters show the entire team photo superimposed over the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Calif., where the Crimson Tide defeated the University of Texas Longhorns 37-21 to win the BCS Championship. Words from the team's fight song are written in such a way to incorporate the "Rose Bowl" sign from the stadium at the portion of the song where it appears.
The large video screens inside the stadium showed highlights from the game.
Cheers came when the screen showed defensive end Marcell Dareus delivering a hit that ended up knocking Texas quarterback Colt McCoy out of the game on the Longhorns' first drive.
More cheers came when the Alabama defense held Texas to a field goal on the drive.
A replay of the Tide's first touchdown in the game brought the loudest cheers while video of Tide running back Mark Ingram winning the school's first Heisman Trophy brought the most prolonged cheers.

Yammer plant their feet firmly in Tech City
21 September, 2012 - 09:40
The enterprise social networking company officially opened their offices in London this week with special guest HRH Duke of York cutting the tape.
This week Yammer opened their European offices in Tech City's Great Eastern Street.
Complete with AstroTurf flooring and table football, guests at the opening represented an array of tech bods and industry experts. The open plan office was filled with bodies sipping on Yammer-blue themed cocktails.
Guest of honour was HRH Duke of York, as part of an ongoing commitment to promote the UK technology industry and London's Tech City. His Royal Highness formally opened the enterprise social networking offices a stone's throw away from Silicon Roundabout.
HRH Duke of York revealed he was an active user of Yammer, from team communications to arranging dinner parties for 200.
HRH eloquently suggested, "It's not the customer that has to be right all the time but the customer experience that has to be right."
We spoke to General Manager Georg Ell to find out the motives for expansion and their decision to put foundations down in Tech City.
SC: So what was behind the new office move?
GE: We've been in Europe for 18 months. Three of us started working in each other's living rooms, then we went to Tech Hub on Old Street Roundabout. We were just growing so quickly, first we were looking for a space of 15, then 45 then 120!
It was difficult to know exactly where the line was going to land. We spent almost a year in serviced offices on Great Eastern Street at 64 initially with one room, then two, and then across the corridor and then the floor! We were the cuckoo, we ended up pushing all the other guys out, in the nicest possible way. We moved from there finally into this place, 8 Great Eastern Street, in August. We've stayed within 200 metres of Old Street Roundabout, where we first landed in Europe.
SC: Was the move to Tech City a conscious decision?
GE: Yes, very much so. When we wanted to open up a European office, we wanted an office in the UK, in London. Then the question was where in London? Very quickly we looked at Tech City, Silicon Roundabout and the whole area and we decided very quickly that this was the right space. It was a burgeoning community that has just got richer and richer in terms of the companies and people that are here.
Our ability, as initially a very small unit of just 3 people, to learn from others and share our own experiences with them as we've grown has been really rewarding. It probably helped us avoid some mistakes along the way. Hopefully we can help others too.
This whole area is a lightening rod for great talent; for good developers, engineers, for entrepreneurial people in general whether they're in sales or marketing and then also for the press. The world's media is also very focused on what's going on here.
SC: What does it mean to Yammer to be in East London?
GE: Yammer has been called an anchor business of Tech City by Tech Crunch. We like that title and we want to live up to that. Now we've been acquired by Microsoft, that means we are Microsoft's office in Tech City. It's quite an exciting development for them as well as for us. Together we can start to bring the opportunities that being part of a much bigger ecosystem provides, to the work that we do here. And our hope is to do that actually in this building; we've signed the lease of the third floor and we we're kitting that out.
We're going to try and use that space to bring people in to interact with us in lots of interesting ways. We'll try and continue to play our part in Tech City.
SC: What's the value of Tech Hub and similar projects?
GE: Really important. So when we started here in Europe, Yammer had 17 employees all of which were in San Francisco. There were just three of us here. I remember going to the Apple store to buy a machine and went down the high street to buy my phone - we didn't have an office. Tech Hub was our first office. If you're three people entirely on your own the situation is actually very similar to us as three people with a US parent. Places like Tech Hub, The Trampery and Google Campus provide really important landing spots for small companies just to get their feet. Perhaps most importantly is the community aspect and the ability to learn from each other.
SC: So now you're of a considerable size in Tech City; do you plan to give back?
GE: That is absolutely our intention. Just a few weeks ago we hosted a dinner between us and London Partners, for about 20 of the general managers of the different companies in the area. It provided the opportunity them to talk to one another.
On the third floor, we have some really interesting opportunities with the way that space is being laid out. We can be quite innovative in the way we think about using and sharing the space.
We're involved in Seedcamp as well, we send mentors along to that. We have been sending engineers to do speaking events at other non-for-profit organisations associated with developing local IT tech skills in those areas.
There's a number of ways we're getting involved. Watch this space.

In an update issued at 11 a.m. this morning, the power company said it believes it will be able to return service to 85 percent of customers in Jersey City and Bayonne today "if all goes well." PSE&G is currently working to repair substations that serve both cities.
Of the 225,480 Hudson County customers that lost electricity, 99,400 customers were still without it as of this morning.
PSE&G expects power will return to the "vast majority" of customers in Union City and West New York by tonight, release read.
However, the power company said it will take longer to return service to Hoboken, where extensive flooding has prevented the repair of three substations that power the city.
"It will take an extended period of time to restore service," the release read.

John Russell
March 16, 2010 | The Russell Transcript | Given the massive effort required to win regulatory approval for a new drug, it is easy to understand the euphoria surrounding agency approval following an NDA submission, but for internal 'regulatory affairs' teams, the work isn't done. Ensuring compliance with post-marketing requirements is a daunting task for even one approved drug, let alone a portfolio of many.
Whippany, NJ–based ISI, long a leader in submission software and consultancy services, has for the past few years pushed into post-marketing services and tools. "The problem is there is all this information about what products are registered, for which markets, what the details for manufacturing are, etc.," says Kate Wilbur, director of regulatory services at ISI. "Pharma companies are really having trouble pulling it all together. It's all a question of having theses little bits and pieces of information that are all part of the license approval."
For the regulatory affairs function inside biopharma, the failure to have needed information can delay critical decisions, draw regulator agency ire, and harm the company and patients. J&J's massive recall of several products in late 2009—the FDA sharply criticized J&J for its relative slowness to act—is just another high-profile example of a pharma having trouble dealing with a post-marketing problem. The practical truth, says Wilbur, is few drug companies have adequate post-marketing tracking systems. "Very few companies have an overview of that essential information in one place for all of their products," she says.
There are lots of homegrown solutions available. Often solutions tracking one product don't link to systems tracking other products to provide decision makers with a comprehensive overview. "You might have a different spreadsheet for each of your sites," says Wilbur. Deployed properly, commercial tools can help drug companies not only respond to problems but also evaluate portfolios to drive business goals. ISI offers RegTracker, an Oracle-based software package whose newest release, version 4.2, is scheduled for April. Like similar products, it is highly configurable. Wilbur says RegTracker's reporting features are especially strong, and that a user interface can readily be put on the web allowing easy access company wide.
However, such sophisticated tools are not trivial to deploy. It can take two months for a small company with one or two approved compounds, six months for moderate size company, and 12-18 months for a big pharma. Moreover, while the FDA and other agencies have issued myriad post-marketing requirements to follow, they haven't mandated how needed information needed should be tracked.
There is typically a substantial services component required when deploying a commercial regulatory tracking product. Indeed, Wilbur says ISI's business is roughly a 50/50 split between software and services. The payoff in using systems like RegTracker is that companies get a single comprehensive view of their post-marketing activities in terms of regulatory requirements.
"Depending on what you choose to track, it could be possible to discover an issue at a particular site and then see every single product manufactured at this site [and] identify other products impacted," she says. "If they go to an even deeper level they could see not just which products are manufactured at the site but also which products are stored there and potentially even specific storage conditions."
Track What?
A major challenge is choosing the right data to track as well as to ensure the data you have tracked us clean. The old adage "garbage in/garbage out" applies strongly in these deployments. Wilbur says ISI has "best practice" methodology it follows in helping clients deploy RegTracker and that the process has solid milestones.
In theory the same drivers that are prompting the biopharmaceutical industry to embrace outsourcing generally—e.g., cost pressure, focus on core competencies, reduced IT resources—should also be driving the industry to use more commercial software for tracking critical regulatory required information and executive decision support.
Wilbur says those forces are nudging the industry forward, but that the pace is measured and varies. Smaller companies tend to see the longer-term potential and can get started more quickly. Larger companies are often wary of lengthy deployments and painful data migration efforts. However recent mergers and acquisitions—and the necessary systems integration projects they create—are inclining large companies to look more favorably at commercial solutions to consolidate their view of regulatory-governed activities.
Deployment isn't easy. ISI conducted focus groups to gauge customer needs and worries. "Data entry is incredibly underestimated," says Wilbur. "While it's nice to have automated data mapping, nine times out of ten it is going to cost more than actually doing manual data entry and manual data cleanup. We understand this and we also understand that making sure we get the data from existing systems into the new system is going to be one of the key priorities of the implementation."

Self-styled messiah and leader of the Branch Davidian cult in Waco, Texas. Koresh was a failed rock musician on L.A.'s Sunset Strip (friends and neighbors described his music as "melodic rock," though he was also a fan of heavy metal) destined not to find fame until February 28, 1993, when the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms raided his compound on the suspicion that the cult was illegally hoarding machine guns.
The Branch Davidians fought back, picking off four ATF agents, and a 51-day standoff ensued. FBI and ATF attempts to force an end included the blasting of rock music and Tibetan chants from giant speakers aimed at what the FBI dubbed Ranch Apocalypse. The name came true when a federal tank moved in on the Davidians and the compound erupted in flames-an apparent suicide that killed 86 members inside, 25 of whom were children.
Though Attorney General Janet… Continue reading →

No point giving you my sizes the system is very different over here & would confuse you all. I will say that doing LC I got into a lower size at a heavier weight if you get my drift. Also sizes now are larger than what they were 30 years ago. I would love to get into my UK size 16 jeans from high school but they're smaller than a current uk size 12. It also depends on the clothes. Mine range over 3 different sizes currently.
I have to say this whole daily weighing & tracking thing is very exciting. I have never done it before only weekly. The scale weight has not moved for a week now, my BMI has been bouncing slightly between 27.0 & 27.3 so that could be a reason for depression. I also unofficially measured bits yesterday – no change so more depression.
BUT looking in the mirror I can see something has changed. Everything is going south (to be expected at my age I suppose) & my stomach is showing indentations where the ribs are & wrinkles like a balloon that has been blown up then let down (not pretty but very rewarding) & my thighs have gone soft & squiggy. Most importantly, today the BIA monitor showed a full 1 lb (0.5%) BF loss, water was up & so was LBM slightly. This would suggest I am fat burning (Yes!!) but retaining water. This is born out by my inability to need the bathroom this am (this is what usually wakes me) despite my bedtime herbal tea & drinking as normal so far today.
So instead of depression at the sight of the scale getting stuck I feel optimism that a whoosh is forthcoming & I will not only break into a NSZ but also down into a new BMI number.
[I]NB: Sorry if TMI but I am finding it all so fascinating & I thought others might like to know that just because the scale isn't moving it doesn't mean things aren't changing on the inside. Maybe that's where people go wrong, they give up too soon & stop or change things (I know I have in the past) when all along what they were doing was right, it just takes a little while to see it.
PS: Today is the first time I have woken up not hungry so have brought Breakfast to work with me but still not hungry (11:am). It has been approx 6 weeks since I started aiming for deep NK so maybe I have finally arrived.
