The Security Service today claimed it had no more lessons to learn from July 7 and should not have any recommendations imposed on it following the inquests into the 2005 atrocity.
Setting the scene for a clash with the bereaved families, MI5's lawyers rejected their calls for a wide-reaching review of its working practices in light of the attacks which killed 52 people.
James Eadie, QC, for MI5, said that the coroner, Lady Justice Hallett, had no legal power to make recommendations because evidence during the five-month long inquests "simply does not give rise to any concerns about other deaths

The making of a conscientious objector
Opinion Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejia, 28, of Miami, joined the Army in 1995. Following a three-year hitch with the Army, he joined the Florida National Guard partly because he was promised college tuition assistance. Mejia had moved to the U.S. with his mother from Nicaragua at age 18.
Taking on the Vietnam syndrome lie
Opinion The Vietnam War ended in 1975. But, judging by the e-mail I got recently denouncing John Kerry's role in Vietnam Veterans Against the War and even dredging up Jane Fonda (the "Hanoi Jane" of right-wing hate propaganda), the Bush administration is preparing for an ideological blitzkrieg on that war.

Whats behind Sharons disengagement?

Our literature is full of directions as to how and when to put the appliance on the patient. It is practically silent about removing it, and yet it requires good judgment to know when to divorce the patient from his splint, be it made of plaster, wood, leather or steel. I often inform my patient that it is easier to tell when to put on a brace than when to take it off.
It is the modern and laudable tendency of orthopedic surgery to get away from the brace. As a result of this tendency, we are in possession today of the various arthrodesing and fusing operations, of the different tendon plasties and joint reconstruction operations— of operations to restore balance. But these operations, which are designed to free the patient from brace thraldom, generally require splints and braces in their after-treatment. I have seen what might have been good

A Tree Is Niceby Janice May Udry
"Trees are very nice," says Janice May Udry in her first book for children. She goes on to explain that even one tree is nice, if it is the only one you happen to have. Some of the reasons why trees are so good to have around are funny. Some are indisputable facts. But in all of them there is a sense of poetic simplicity and beauty which will be sure to entrance any young child. Whether your child knows one tree or many, he or she will relish the descriptions of the delights to be had in, with, or under a tree. Marc Simont's joyous pictures, half of them in full color, accentuate the child-like charm of the words. And each painting of a tree or trees shows just how very nice they can be.

Julia Child was an American cook, author and television personality who introduced French cuisine and cooking techniques to America. Join us to watch actress Linda Kenyon bring Julia to life and then discuss her personal history, her husband and her cooking, at Bernardsville Public Library on Sunday, February 9 at 2:00 pm.
Julia Child was in the vanguard of "foodies," who, by changing America's taste, helped create modern American culture. While her public face and voice became familiar to all of us, this play by Clay Teunis focuses on her private side, especially her relationship with her husband, Paul Child. As Ms. Kenyon takes on Julia's hair, makeup, dress, voice and demeanor, it is clear that this play is a love story!
Ms. Kenyon is an experienced television, stage and film actress whose special skills include impersonations of Eleanor Roosevelt and Babe Didrikson as well as Julia Child. She received her training on the Arena Stage (Norman Gevanthor), the Folger Theatre (Franchelle Dorn), and the Poet & Peasant Professional Actors' Workshop.
There is no charge to attend the program, but advance sign-up is requested. Register online at www.bernardsvillelibrary.org and follow the link from Adult Programs, or call the library at 908-766-0118 to sign up.

Clear But Unconvincing: The Federal Circuit's Invalidity Standard
David O. Taylor
Southern Methodist University - Dedman School of Law
Fordham Intellectual Property, Media & Entertainment Law Journal, Vol. 21, p. 293, 2011
The Federal Circuit's standard for proving invalidity of patent claims is clear. The Federal Circuit always requires clear and convincing evidence to prove that a patent claim is invalid. The rationale behind this standard, however, is unconvincing. There are significant reasons to believe that the Patent Office rarely considers the most relevant prior art and that, instead, alleged infringers often find prior art that is more relevant than the prior art considered by the Patent Office. It defies logic to apply the clear and convincing burden where the Patent Office considered only prior art that is less relevant than the prior art asserted in litigation. And while the Federal Circuit relies upon 35 U.S.C. § 282 as dictating the clear and convincing burden of proof, the statute includes no such burden. Indeed, every other circuit court of appeals has indicated that the statutory presumption of validity only requires a presumption that the Patent Office correctly ruled upon the evidence in front of it - not that the Patent Office considered the most relevant prior art or that it - illogically - correctly ruled upon evidence that it did not even consider. To encourage the disclosure of relevant prior art to the Patent Office, to increase patent quality, to ensure that patents serve their Constitutional purpose of rewarding inventors for disclosing discoveries, and to reduce transaction costs associated with ultimately invalid patents, the clear and convincing burden of proving invalidity should be replaced with a preponderance burden when litigation involves unconsidered, material prior art.

A: 376 panels. Each segment is made of two 3/8-inch panels laminated together for a total thickness of ¾ inch.
A: The furnaces that actually melt glass into its molten form run continuously. They are turned off only for maintenance purposes.
A: There are several methods in place to ensure that the furnace heat does not affect the rest of the building. First, a hood is located around the furnaces to direct most of the heat out through the roof. Airflow through the hood captures and exhausts the heat. The glass blowing studios are also equipped with heat recovery coils embedded in the floors that absorb heat from the furnaces and return it to the radiant heating system within the building cavities. Finally, conditioned air from the galleries is directed into the hot shops to help control temperatures. The space between the panels of glass acts as an effective insulator.
A: Other buildings with primarily glass facades generally need to be cleaned twice a year. At the Glass Pavilion, this can be accomplished by simply using a squeegee and cleaning solution; a relatively uncomplicated process because the building is only 15 feet tall. Interior glass surfaces are also cleaned whenever necessary; the process is no more difficult than washing glass doors or windows in a standard house.
A: A shading system is installed in the building that uses light-screening curtains that result in the reduction of light in needed areas. Due to the patterns followed by sunlight throughout the year, these curtains need to be adjusted only seasonally.
A: No. The laminate layer between the two glass panels serves as a UV filter, so an additional UV coating of the structural glass is not necessary.
A: The Glass Pavilion wiring and HVAC ducts are routed through the floors and ceiling of the building, as well as within the opaque dry-walled sections of the first floor. The basement-level systems are installed using standard construction methods. The physical plant is housed in the Pavilion basement and in a building nearby.
A: The roof of the building was specifically designed to accommodate heavy rain and snowfall. Although the roof appears flat, it is actually a series of inverted pyramids. Each directs water to a drainpipe, which in turn directs the water into the building's main drainage system.

The original question dealt with why people like Lyle McDonald, Rudy from Outlaw Way, and many others are NOT on the "wheat is evil" crusade...jakejoh is giving what their reasons are.
First of all, grains are not empty calories. Orange juice is empty calories. Candy bars....an empty calorie means that you can consume it with little to no satiety. Say what you want about eating a sub sandwich, it fills you up.
This is all being totally over-complicated. The reality has nothing to do with studies from 3rd world countries, or studies of much of any kind. Here is all you need to know for their reasons:
1) Avoiding all grains is very difficult. Try going to much any restaurant and avoiding them entirely. It takes a lot of patience and want to. Same goes for social gatherings. It can be done and I've done more than my share of "hold the bread" at a party, but it's not easy.
2) When you are a young male doing competitive Crossfit workouts (Outlaw Way), trying to set PR's using glycogen bumps (Lyle McDonald), or training for an Ironman, you are left with a problem...these require enormous amounts of calories. Sure, you could eat sweet potatoes (and they do), but if you can just as easily get it from a subway sandwich, have it taste better, suffer no ill effects, why wouldn't you?
I don't eat grains very often. Like anything else, they are a tool. They produce huge insulin responses and pack a lot of calories into a small amount, like a lot processed food does....AT TIMES, this is my goal. It's not about "What is the absolute most we can do?"....it's about "What is the minimum effective dose to hit my goals? What is ESSENTIAL to hitting my goals, and what is peripheral?" They are prob a bad idea for a newbie or someone wanting a lot of fat loss that isn't doing long fasts or super intense workouts....but calling them evil FOR EVERYONE is ridiculous.

Janet Jackson Surprises Sherri Shepherd on The View
It's not everyday that Janet Jackson drops by to make someone's dream come true. But on The View Tuesday, the pop star did just that. Specifically, Jackson gave co-host Sherri Shepherd a pair of tickets for her fall concert – so that Shepherd wouldn't have to sleep in the street to get some. When Jackson – clad in white –dropped by, a visibly ecstatic Shepherd jumped from her seat to embrace her pop idol. "I'm such a fan of yours," she enthused while the crowd cheered. "I have every album; I have every poster; I have all of your program books. Aside from Michael, you are my second favorite, girl."

SPRING MILLS - Hedgesville opened its new track and hasn't looked back. Since the inaugural race Saturday, the Eagles have swept two meets, including the Berkeley County Championships Tuesday at Spring Mills.
"We wanted to make sure we carried the momentum from Saturday and not get complacent," Hedgesville coach Mark Norris said.
The Eagles certainly did that as they stayed in front of points in the boys meet and pulled their way ahead late in the girls meet.

The Hedgesville boys won with 115 points, while Musselman (79) placed second and Martinsburg (56) finished third. Spring Mills (18) rounded out the scoring.
KyRae Ramos won both the 100-meter dash and the 200 dash with times of 10.85 and 22.86 seconds, respectively. He finshed the 100 just .04 second ahead of Martinsburg's Eric Mitchell. Jacob Ervin (51.09) added a win in the 400 dash, while Daniel Beavers placed first in the 800 (2:05.29) and the 1,600 (4:36.76).
"He's been really coming on in the 800. He's such a smooth runner," Norris said.
Beavers came on strong late in the 1,600 to help push the Eagles farther ahead in points.
As he and Musselman's Shane Rigsby started their last lap, Beavers pushed ahead and finished five seconds ahead of his opponent.
"It felt good, but I didn't really win it because I didn't go against Jefferson," Beavers said, adding he likes running against the Cougars because the competition pushes him to improve.
Beavers wasn't sure how close he and Rigsby were coming down the stretch.
"I've learned not to look backwards," Beavers said, "but when I passed him, I though, 'OK, is he coming with me?'"
Beavers set a personal record, but at first, he thought he'd done just a smidge better. From the field, his teammates and coaches were asking what his time was because they knew it was close to the school record. Beavers just missed the 4:27 record, but that leaves the sophomore a goal for this season and the next two.
"I kinda got excited for a second," he said, adding the 1,600 record is a goal. "I'm trying to go for my school record in the 800, too."
Rigsby got his win, though. He (10:04.29) finished first in the 3,200, 20 seconds ahead of Beavers.
"I thought our boys ran our best of the year," Musselman coach Dan Rizer said, adding many of his runner set personal records.
Hedgesville hopped back into first place as Josh Taggert-Perez took home the title in the 110 hurdles (15:12) and the 300 hurdled (40.86). Taggert-Perez won his second straight high-points award. He was responsible for 17.5 of Hedgesville's points.
Musselman (43.91) added another first place to its points in the 4x100 relay, but Hedgesville finished first in the 4x200 (1:33.30), 4x400 (3:38.31) and the 4x800 (8:39.48). The Eagles (59.81) also won the 4x100 shuttle hurdles.
"Our shuttle hurdle team, they take a lot of pride," Norris said. "They are very passionate about it."
Dion Taylor (5-10) picked up the first-place points for Hedgesville in the high jump, while Lane Riner (12-6) won pole vault for Spring Mills by a foot. Carson Taylor (19-9) finished first in the long jump for Martinsburg, while Anthony Frazer (43-02) added another first place for Martinsburg in the shot put. Musselman's Alex Reiser (135-2) won the discus.
On the girls side, Martinsburg held the lead late, while Hedgesville and Musselman seemed to be fighting for second. However, Hedgesville pulled out some late points, ending with 92. The Bulldogs (76) placed second, and Muselman (56) third. Spring Mills (37) finished fourth.
"The girls did fairly well. They actually came to win," Martinsburg coach Britt Sherman said. "They've been working hard."
Martinsburg's Mykera Days, who won the girls high-points award with 15 points, won the 100 (12.35) and 200 (25.88), while Misha Awad (1:02.12) won the 400 for Hedgesville. Jessie Hogbin added two more first-place finishes for Hedgesville in the 800 (2:38.10) and the 1,600 (6:03.31). Musselman's Sydney Rigsby (13:13.95) won the 3,200.
Martinsburg's Kyana Jones swept the hurdles with a 16.62 in the 100 hurdles and a 49.34 in the 300 hurdles. Martinsburg (50.78) added another top finish in the 4x100, and the Bulldogs (1:47.31) also won the 4x200. Spring Mills swept the longer relays, finishing with a 4:20.23 in the 4x400 and a 10:39.36 in the 4x800.
"Competitive," Spring Mills' Matt Smith said of his team. "A lot of PRs. We're getting better towards the end of the year, coming into our own."
Martinsburg (1:13) won the shuttle hurdles, while Hedgesville swept the field events.
Norris said his girls knew those would be important.
Tishauna Harrow (5-0) won the high jump, while Cassidy Scott won both the pole vault (7-6) and the long jump (16-2). Charity Gillespie (34-8) won the shot put.

What a dumb comment, better than us? If they were better that day they would have won the game. Don't live in a delusional world, where wins and losses mean nothing. All OSU has to do is beat the team lined up across from them. This isn't Madden, good teams struggle. I would rather be 5-0, than 3-2 and say we looked really good in those wins. C'mon?

I feel like coaches have purposely hidden our bread and butter, the inside zone read. Beware this offense will change during big ten play. We have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Not really a concern, there is talent there. We have won 42-24 and 38-0 and we complain. We don't have to beat perfection, just the team lined up next to us. The rest will take care of itself.
So proud of the coaches and the players. What a great night to be a buckeye!
Great win, now it's Michigan State!
Great response, that is my fear. How do you combat that? My fear is Michigan State will load the box, blitz and make us throw to beat them. Are we good enough to do that?
I am happy with the win but very disappointed with the offensive performance both from the players and the coaches. Read option will not beat Michigan State. We will have to extend the field horizontally and vertically. But I am not overly confident the coaches will open the kitchen sink. It seems like anytime we get punched in the mouth we shut down offensively. But I don't want to be too negative with a win, and I think our defense played great. Even on their touchdown pass, Apple was in great position, he just did not make the play. The other positive would be Jt Barret. He did not play his best game, but showed the heart of a champion when the team needed him most. And lastly Joey Bosa, it will be a sad day when he enters the nfl draft. He is simply outstanding.
I am looking forward to Michigan State. It will be a true measuring stick, and the first game that I can remember since Urban Meyer took over that we will be a true underdog. How do you out coach a more polished team?
Michigan St. is outstanding. We will have to throw the ball and throw it well to beat them. Especially on early downs.
We have never not played for a national championship because of style points. A 28 point win is dominant.
Usually I would complain but we just had a 22 point win. At some point you have to celebrate the small victories. The offense is getting better, Joey Bosa is an absolute stud, and our o-line played good.
We win 66-0 and drop in the AP poll. I will never understand it. I get we lost to VT and they lost, but man that is tough. The bright side is that is just more motivation. So as an armchair coach everything I complained about looked better. I get the level of competition but I do trust in these coaches.
The reality is we have a lot of talent, and we most definitely have a superb head coach. Urban has accomplished more than most coaches ever dream of. Urban Meyer national titles equals 2, more than most, including our beloved Jim Tressel. This team is not good enough to win a national title. No coach could win it with our current roster. What I do expect is our players in position to make plays, both offensively and defensively. I know there is a learning curve but it sucks going through it when we have ample talent.
Great point
No flak from me, I agree I hate this loss, but I do think a lot of good will come from it. Urban is 24-3 at Ohio State which is pretty darn good. I trust he will get things straightened out and we will definitely look better next week because we play a lesser opponent.
Great analysis, it did look like we could have used jailbreak screens and some misdirection throws to slow down their defense. We also should have been able to take advantage of throwing to our running backs. The NFL throws to their backs a lot but it seems like it is non existent at Ohio State. It just seems like there could have been more done to lesson the load on Jt. It is a tall task to stand in a collapsing pocket and deliver a great ball on a vertical route over and over. Our offensive line struggles are alarming but I think kind of expected. This offense needs some identity, it needs a leader, and it needs to start making defenses reactive vs proactive.
Good luck to Chad in whatever he does
Underprepared equals out coached. I do trust in Urban Meyer, but you can't have a fine collection of athletes that do nothing well. We still have zero identity on offense, at least Navy can run the ball. Do they have more talent than us? I love his effort but Curtis Grant hampers our defense. He is a run a stopper but gets exposed over and over in the passing game. We are the 2011 team with a much higher ceiling. We do have great players, but with the exception of the d-line there is not one thing we do well right now.
That defense gave us fits. We will see it a lot this year until we can prove we can beat it. A big tip of the hat to the Virginia Tech coaches for dialing up an aggressive scheme and preparing their players to do it. Maybe one day we can prepare to give an offense or defense fits.
I agree, but there were enough defensive plays to win this game. At least they are breaking in a new scheme. If there is a train wreck, it's offensively. Anyone who watches the game can tell our linebackers can't cover and our secondary gives up easy throws unless they choose to hold. So I gave them a pass because they came up with enough plays, turnovers, to win this game. We are undisciplined and it's across the board.
I am actually giving the defense a break this week, I thought they made enough plays to win this game. So if there is a silver lining that is it. I am so tired of hearing about all of our offensive playmakers. Where are they? Who is our leader offensively? What do we really do to put playmakers in space to succeed? Who breaks a tackle? This team has a lot of holes. So please don't brag about talent until it produces. Our offense and our play calling sucks. It sucked against Navy, and it sucked against Virginia Tech. I get it we can't block. Why can Mac teams block with less talent? Our running backs don't produce, but we supposedly have too much talent. And we supposedly have a ton of depth at wide receiver but not one game changer? We have a distributor at quarterback that only throws a deep ball? What the hell are we doing? There is all this talent but no results.......make me a believer in something.......
Personally I still think our offense will look pretty vanilla. What Urban Meyer wants is an A gap presence. Effectively running the ball sets up everything else. If we have to out scheme teams because we cannot do that, we won't be very good. It's why he says the game is always won in the trenches. Virginia Tech will be a great challenge, I cannot wait until Saturday.
Totally agree I just watched the game again. Vonn Bell must start. He has a nose for the football and tackles well. I don't know the game plan so I don't want to bee too negative, but I am not expecting big things from Curtis Grant. He seemed slow to react again. I really hope I eat my words and he has a phenomenal season.
Title was correct Barrett was effective. He will only play better with more experience and a more cohesive offensive line
I think this is a good win for a young team. I was very impressed with the navy offense, their option will give most teams trouble. I actually thought our defense played pretty well. My two concerns are offensive. As an offense I couldn't tell you what our identity is? I believe this is mostly due to poor line play. And I thought frankly that first half we were severely out coached. We moved the ball pretty well but their were a few questionable calls. The bright side is this is a young team that will only get better each game. The best part about being 1-0.....is a chance to go 2-0

In regard to our culture, people are wondering if we have hit bottom yet. After all, just the idea that men ought to be able to use the restroom facilities of women and little girls and that homosexuals should be able to marry is so out of tune with what civilized people learn from nature itself, it just can't get any worse…could it? Do not think that the filth at the bottom of the proverbial barrel is home to only two perversions, for there is more. Pedophilia, bestiality and incest for example. These are just waiting for someone to make them issues tied in some way to politics and money.

Hello Thank you for bringing your question on JustAnswer.
-Could you explain your situation a little more?
Ask Your Own Mental Health Question
replied 6 years ago.
Yes sorry I was kind of vague also I am male. Anyway my girlfriend mother of my 2 kids is not a very affectionate person at all. She has a tendency when she is upset at some situation calls me up and yells at me about something I didnt do. Example might do the laundry and gets upset because didnt hang the shirt with the pants. Not appreciating the fact I
laundry. Anyway similar situation today her back was hurting water went out. She calls me asking why I didnt help my son put together a toy. It was 9 o clock and I gave my two boys a bath while she relaxed from a long day. This turned into me hanging up on her because I dont like hearing her talk to me like that. Afterwards I sent her this email. Ive talked to her since on her way to work and she was ok but didnt discuss the events from earlier. And didnt mention the email below. She never answers my emails or deeper emotional questions I have. Can you help me explain why?
Below is the email.
I love you!! I hope you have a good day at work. I forgive you for the way you acted because I know you love me and and you wouldn't want to do anything to hurt me. It is just so hard to feel that way when I feel attacked whether you mean it or not. Wish you could stay home tonight if your not feeling well.
I know I may seem critical of you at times on issues. I just want us both to improve on things. I am going to try to lose some weight I know you cant be attracted to me. I think if we both try to meet the other person expectations the better things will be. If we both cant talk about what makes each other happy and neither one of us tries to improve it then this whole thing is pointless. I would really like to spend the rest of my life with you but I just have a hard time feeling the same from you. Let me know your thoughts.

Hi there
It sounds like you wrote the email to your girlfriend, mother of your two children in an honest, loving and assertive manner. That's a good start for you two to improve your communication. You described her as not very affectionate and tendency to get angry at you for something you did not do. She may be a little unhappy about something, have anger problems lately, OR just take you for granted that you can accept her any emotions when she wants to vent... You sound like affectionate person. I am not sure if your girlfriend is such type. Everyone has innate disposition and personality that have been molded by their original environment - original family, relationship to primary caregiver (parents) and siblings etc... I understand your concern because reciprocity of affection and care is vital to sustain a partnership. When your partner is driven by her job or stressed with routines, she may have forgotten what's important to both of you. I think she may be slightly shocked by your email and may be contemplating what to do. I think she would respond to your feelings soon. Sometimes women need space to reflect on their thoughts and actions before responding to their partners' feelings. I hope you two work things out.

I talked to her this evening at work she said she got the email before she went to work and didnt have time to respond. She said the email was sweet or thoughtful she sounded genuine. She told me she was working a double shift so she wont be home til 8am. I told her to call me around 3am so I know everything is ok. She has never done anything that would indicate I cant trust her. It is just how she says things sometimes. For example she was upset kind of down in the dumps
alot but couldnt tell me what her problem was. So I asked her if it was me she said she didnt know I tried to talk to her about it and she said it was to late to talk about. Basically she didnt give me a warm feeling that it wasnt me. Also the night before I had talked to her at work and she said she would wake me up when she got home and talk to me instead she came home and watched her favorite show for an hour. When she got to bed I asked her what was wrong she said it was to late to talk. Since then she told me that her other son wasnt doing good in school and her Mom was calling complaining about how things were with her. So I guess I understand that. She can be so sweet to me one minute and the next she has a problem with something I do I mean the simplest things. When it comes to love making she sometimes says ok lets get this over with.. She doesnt like to kiss. She doesnt like oral sex peformed on her when I like doing it for her she doesnt get anything out of it. I know she has a hard time orgasming. I want her to tell me what she likes how I can make things better for her. I dont get much out of her. Sex and intimacy is very important to me Is there anything counseling or something that would get her to be more intimate? She is the type of women that can talk a lot of about sex has had 3 somes in the past gave lots of oral sex to guys without getting anything in return for it and now she has someone that cares about her and does things for her and she will do it occasionally but its usually because she can get something out of it instead of doing it out of the blue to suprise me and make me happy. She does things for me dont get me wrong loves cooking dinner likes just me and her going to movie or what have you but on the intimate side just isnt there. I know Im talking out of order here but just thought of something else on the trust issue. The Correctional center she works at is notorious for a lot of infidelity. So she brings up one day I can see how a lot of cheating could go on being that there are a lot of men and women working together and lots of time for socializing she says when she was single she would hookup with guys she worked with . She has girlfriends that send her porn to her phone. Called her one day at work she wanted me to pick up some subs steak sandwhiches and her co working and she was joking Jill likes a lot of meat on her sub where as I dont require much meat. It was said in a joking sexual way. I guess I dont understand how someone that can talk alot about sex doesnt really particulary want it. So anyway what are your thoughts. Sorry I was jumping all over the place.

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

Group Purchasing Organizations:
Services Provided to Customers and Initiatives Regarding Their Business Practices
GAO-10-738: Published: Aug 24, 2010. Publicly Released: Sep 27, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Health care providers rely on group purchasing organizations (GPO) to negotiate contracts with vendors of medical products. In 2002, questions were raised about GPOs engaging in potentially anticompetitive business practices such as collecting excessively high contract administrative fees. In 2003, GAO reported that selected GPOs had adopted or revised codes of conduct to respond to the questions about their business practices, but that it was too soon to evaluate the impact of the codes of conduct. GAO was asked to provide information on GPOs. In this report, GAO describes (1) the types of services that GPOs provide and how the GPOs fund these services, (2) initiatives that GPOs have implemented since 2002 to address the questions that had been raised about their business practices, and (3) the reported impact of the GPOs' codes of conduct and other initiatives. To do its work, GAO reviewed GPO documents and collected written responses to structured questions from the six largest GPOs based on their reported 2007 purchasing volume. GAO also conducted follow-up interviews with these six GPOs. GAO interviewed representatives from six GPO customers--hospitals--that varied in size, the GPOs with which they did business, and whether they had an ownership stake in a GPO. GAO also interviewed five medical product vendors of various sizes that do business with GPOs.
The six GPOs in GAO's review reported providing a range of services for their customers and funding these services in two ways. All six GPOs reported offering to their customers the following three services--custom contracting, clinical evaluation and standardization of products, and assessments of new technology. Other GPO services were not provided by all six of the GPOs in our review. For example, five of the six GPOs reported providing their customers with electronic commerce and benchmarking data services. Funding of these services, according to the six GPOs, was either through contract administrative fees received from vendors or by charging customers directly for the service. GPO representatives explained that the level of contract administrative fees collected from vendors can vary depending on the contract negotiated with a vendor. According to the GPOs, the average contract administrative fees paid by vendors in 2008, weighted by purchasing volume, ranged from 1.22 percent of customer purchases to 2.25 percent of purchases. The GPOs in GAO's review reported implementing some new initiatives since 2002. Specifically, the GPOs reported that they have revised their codes of conduct and established a voluntary membership association focused on promoting best practices and public accountability among member GPOs. This association--the Healthcare Group Purchasing Industry Initiative (HGPII)--adopted a set of principles of ethics and business conduct that its GPO members are expected to follow. These include having a written code of business conduct, working toward high quality health care and cost effectiveness, working toward an open and competitive purchasing process, sharing best practices, and being accountable to the public. HGPII members are also required to annually report information on their policies and business practices. The reported impact of GPOs' codes of conduct and other initiatives varied among GPOs, customers, and vendors. All six GPOs reported that their codes of conduct--which include conflicts of interest and other policies--and other initiatives have had impacts on GPO contracting practices, innovative product selection, contract administrative fees, potential conflicts of interest, and the transparency and accountability of GPO business practices. However, the impact of the GPO initiatives reported by representatives of customers and vendors GAO interviewed varied. For example, while some customers and vendors reported that GPOs are operating with greater transparency regarding their contracting practices, most customers and vendors did not comment on an impact associated with GPOs' initiatives to add innovative products to contracts. In commenting on a draft of this report, representatives of the six GPOs and their trade association noted that the report was fair and balanced and most provided technical comments, which we incorporated as appropriate.

Motorcycle Crash Alters Life Course
He did everything right, from wearing a motorcycle helmet to slowing down when the traffic on Interstate 75 was coming to a standstill because of an accident up ahead. Even so, Bonita Springs resident Luke Crandall ended up with severe physical and brain injuries during what was supposed to be a normal February night in 2006.
Luke was in the far right lane, when a vehicle in the left lane swerved over and hit him, knocking him off the motorcycle. The impact was so great that his helmet was later found several feet from his body. His injuries included a broken jaw, broken bones in his legs and a serious brain injury, known as a diffuse axonal brain injury, as well as a left basal ganglial bleed that later caused his right arm to contract. He was flown to The Trauma Center at Lee Memorial Hospital.
Collier Sheriff, Corporal Bence, started rescue breathing before the helicopter arrived. At The Trauma Center, a nurse named San, and Sarah from physical therapy worked very long and exceptionally hard to help Luke.
I don t remember any of it, Luke says. Now, at age 27, Luke is still working to recover from his injuries.
I had to relearn everything, like a little baby, he says. Some things came more quickly, like learning how to eat and walk. Others, like counting change and retaining long-term information, are taking more time.
When the crash first happened, the doctors thought if he lived, he would be in a nursing home, says Luke s mother, Jo Bordonaro. Most people don t do well after having the kind of brain injury he had, but his sister Jacquie and I couldn t give up.
Jo started keeping a diary of her son s progress a few days after the crash. She wrote in the journal for several months, chronicling his progress. Some days were better than others. It was an emotional and financial drain, but it was worth it, Jo says. I didn t give up because I didn t want him in a nursing home.
Luke eventually progressed to a rehabilitation unit, and then recovered enough to go home. Jo credits many of the staff at Lee Memorial Hospital with Luke s survival. So many people helped him, she says.
Respiratory therapist John Campbell helped Luke with simple tasks, like swallowing and taking in enough oxygen to breathe correctly.
My No. 1 goal for Luke, and for all my patients, is to get them back to being an independent person, John says. Someone like Luke is in a lot of pain and doesn t take in oxygen correctly. We try to get people breathing again. I m glad to have helped.
Luke continues to improve, seven years after his crash. I don t have a motorcycle anymore, he says. I still ride my friend s four-wheeler but now I drive a car. I just want to live long and be happy.
The Trauma Center
Lee Memorial Health System is home to the region s only Level II Trauma Center, which serves more than 2,000 patients each year from Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Glades and Hendry counties.

Trauma Facts
- Every 4 seconds someone in the U.S. is traumatically injured and every 6 minutes someone will die from a trauma injury.
- Nationally, trauma is the No. 1 killer for those between the ages of 1 and 44.
- The golden hour is the first hour after a patient s injury. This is the most critical period within which the life or death of the victim usually is determined.
- Motor vehicle crashes make up more than 50 percent of all trauma cases in Florida.
- Since the Florida Legislature created the state s first trauma legislation in 1982, no consistent and sustained funding source for the trauma centers has been established on the state level.
- In 1982, when Florida s first trauma legislation was passed, there were 50 trauma centers statewide. Today, there are only 22 state designated trauma centers operating in Florida.
- The Florida trauma centers that have surrendered their trauma designation have done so due to the overwhelming financial commitments required to make a trauma center a clinically viable operation.
- Lee Memorial Health System s Trauma Center is the only trauma center on Florida s Gulf Coast between Tampa and Miami.
- There are more than 1 million residents in the Lee County Trauma Services District.
- More than 90 percent of admissions to the Lee Memorial Health System Trauma Center in fiscal year 2010 were due to blunt force trauma primarily from auto accidents or falls.

Product DescriptionThe Ruger New Model Blackhawk is the most advanced single-action revolver ever made.

Alex Anthopoulos snuck old friend John Gibbons into Toronto for dinner Sunday night and the Blue Jays' general manager stunned the baseball world by trotting him out Tuesday morning in front of a Rogers Centre press conference to announce that Gibbons would be returning to manage the Blue Jays.
Anthopoulos updated the Toronto media for the first time on his 12-player trade with the Miami Marlins — revealing that an inquiry about pitcher Josh Johnson led to the mega deal — and the free-agent signing of outfielder Melky Cabrera. Gibbons, meanwhile, used his trademark Texas drawl to reacquaint himself with the familiar faces in the corps of veteran Blue Jays beat writers.
What did Anthopoulos and Gibbons do next? They hit the Queen Elizabeth Way en route to Buffalo and stopped for lunch at Chef's Restaurant, surprising Bisons officials who were having a similar sitdown there with Marty Brown. And they told them they'd see them up Seneca Street at Coca-Cola Field for their media gathering later in the afternoon.
Like parent, like child. The Bisons brought back Brown Tuesday and the Jays did likewise with Gibbons — their skipper from 2004-2008 — on a two-year deal.
"I never expected this to happen. This is so far-fetched," Gibbons told The Buffalo News. "The reality of it is I had to pinch myself, to be honest with you. So I'm going to run with it and see what happens. How many times do you get a second chance, especially in a place you've been working at with good people?
Gibbons went 305-305 with the Blue Jays, topped by an 87-75 mark and second-place finish in 2006. He was replaced by Cito Gaston in 2008 and spent the next three years as Kansas City's bench coach. He spent last year at home in San Antonio, Texas, managing San Diego's Double-A team.
Anthopoulos was Toronto's assistant GM when Gibbons was the manager and told The News he believes most managers are better in their second stint.
He was looking for someone with big-league experience to replace John Farrell.
"[Gibbons] has over 600 games in the AL East, is .500 at a time when our payroll had its challenges and the teams in the East were winning 95-plus games every year back then," Anthopoulos said.
"He's stepped back to be a bench coach, went to the minor leagues. We feel it's a perfect package for our organization. It's not about the best manager, it's about the right one for our organization. John Gibbons may not be the best manager for somebody else, but he's the right one for us. "
Gibbons was at home watching his old friend Anthopoulos quickly remake the Blue Jays' roster. Now he's in charge of it.
"The ownership and front office have stepped up and done their job," Gibbons said.
"Now it's our job to put together what's still a new group. Job No. 1 is to make them a team."
"Players would run through a wall for him," Anthopoulos said. "They loved playing for him. The only thing that made me pause was what would the perception be, what are the optics going to be? How would it look? Is it a bit of a downer because he's already been here?
"But the decisions I've regretted are where I didn't go with my instincts and was more concerned with optics. … The best ones I've made I did what I felt was right."

About PDF files
The Rental Housing Production Program provides low interest gap financing loans to developers for the acquisition, rehabilitation and/or new construction of rental housing, located in Anne Arundel County, serving households earning at or below 60 percent of the area median income.
Loan funds through this program are typically combined with a variety of other funding sources, including private loans, public funds (e.g. Low Income Housing Tax Credits, federal Section 202 funds, and Maryland Bond funds) and State loans. Depending on the affordability of the project and the gap in financing needed to make the project viable, loan funds through this program may be in the form of an amortized loan, cash flow loan, or a deferred loan. A lien is placed on the property to ensure that the housing units are affordable to low income households for a specified time period, typically 30 years.
How do I apply for Rental Housing Production Program Funds?
We encourage developers considering submitting an application for Rental Housing Production Program funds to contact ACDS and discuss the project well in advance of submitting an application. Staff at ACDS will meet with the developer to gather more information about the project and the intended beneficiaries and review the potential challenges of the project, the estimated timeline for development, the amount of funds being requested, and review the application process.
Call (410) 222-7600, ext. 151 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com to request an application or to learn more about the Rental Housing Production Program. Rental Housing Production Program applications are accepted at any time. A copy of the application and checklist of required submittal items can be downloaded here.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the timeline for receiving Rental Housing Production Program funds?
Once a Rental Housing Production Program application is submitted, ACDS will begin its underwriting and due diligence processes. ACDS will work with the developer and other lenders to coordinate the schedule for settlement. This timeline will vary depending on the complexity of the project, the other funding agencies involved in the transaction, whether or not the project is requesting a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) from the County, as well as how the developer is progressing in submitting the items required for settlement such as the building permits, and committments from the other sources of financing.
2. What types of rental projects have received financing in the past?
ACDS has provided funds to various projects, including new construction of rental apartments for the elderly, new construction of "lease to purchase" townhouses for families, and acquisition and rehabilitation of rental apartments for seniors and families. The following are two examples of recently funded projects.
College Parkway Place
College Parkway Place is an affordable housing community located just outside of the City of Annapolis. The developer, Shelter Development, LLC, acquired and renovated College Parkway Place and preserved 170 affordable rental units for low income seniors and families. The project provides services for the families and seniors living at the property, including meals, medical, transportation and other services for seniors, and activities and recreational opportunities for families. The sources of funds utilized to complete the project included tax credit and bond proceeds allocated through the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, in addition to a $530,000 loan received from the County through ACDS. Below is a listing of the funding resources exemplifying the numerous sources required for the project, in addition to the portion of funding provided through an ACDS loan.
Homes at the Glen
Homes at the Glen is a newly constructed 56 unit townhouse development that serves very low income families with incomes at 50 percent of the area median income or below. The developer, Homes for America, created Homes at the Glen as a lease to purchase community. After 15 years, the units will be available for sale to first time homebuyers and preference will be given to the families currently renting the units. The sources of funds utilized to complete the project included tax credit equity and a second mortgage through the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development in addition to a $687,700 loan received from the County through ACDS. Below is a listing of the funding resources demonstrating the numerous financing sources needed to make this project financially feasible.
3. What is the interest rate charged for these funds?
The interest rate varies and is based upon staff analysis and underwriting to determine the project's ability to repay the funds. Typically interest rates are from zero to five percent. Loan repayments can be deferred for a specified time period, or based on a project's available cash flow.
4. What legal documents must be executed in connection with this loan?
Typically, ACDS will require a Deed of Trust, Deed of Trust Note, Declaration of Covenants, and if funds are used for construction, a Construction Loan Agreement.

As expected, it was far from a Picasso, and the Hokies nearly blew a 51-37 lead. But Hokies 3G.1 got things rolling on the 2011-12 season with a 64-53 win over a pesky east tennessee state buc bunch.
Erick Green, arguably Tech's best player, did not play while nursing an Achilles injury. That forced Tyrone Garland to start at the point, with Dorenzo Hudson moving from shooting guard to provide relief. And believe me, Green's presence was missed as the Hokies committed 15 turnovers against the buccaneers 2-2-1 full court press and 2-3 half court defense. The Hokies will have to clean things up to beat a team like george mason, likely their opponent on Tuesday night in the NIT Preseason Quarterfinals.
The good news was Hokie fans got their first taste of star recruit Dorian Finney-Smith. And that first taste was as delicious as a McRib. Dorian tallied… now get this… 10 points (6/8 FTs), 16 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 blocked shots. Yeah, he's good. Doe Doe still needs to find his game on offense (he's very unselfish and doesn't yet seem able to create his own shots), but the Bird works very hard on defense. He held etsu's second leading returning scorer to just 2 first half points, and then shut down their best shooter in the last 10 minutes of the game.
Tech started the game colder than the Atlanta weather Thursday night. The Hokies were 2/12 from the field to start the contest, and finished the first half 8/24 (33%). Tech also had 3 turnovers in the first 4 minutes, all by Garland. Luckily, the bucs were even worse at 6/30 (20%) in the first half. And 3-point shooting? VT was 1/10 in the first half while etsu finished 0/11. The Hokies led 24-21 at the break despite the fact they committed 7 turnovers (Garland had 5 of them) and the bucs had a 10-4 advantage in offensive rebounds.
In the second half, the Hokies finally got things going and attacked the etsu press. Freshman Robert Brown showed why he is considered Tech's best 3-point shooter already, hitting 3 straight 3-pointers to help VT jump to a 51-37 lead with 7:44 to play. To make matters worse, etsu's best player, Isiah Brown, fouled out with 10 points. But the bucs battled back, going on a 10-2 run to cut the VT lead to 53-47. etsu would get within 4 at 55-51 with 1:49 to play, but the Hokies hit 9/10 free throws after that and pulled away to the 64-53 win.
On the game Tech would nail 21/30 FTs (70%). And after shooting just 33% in the first half, VT hit 11/24 in the second half to shoot 40% for the game. etsu hit just under 30% of their shots, and finished 2/17 (12%) on 3s. Tech was 4/8 from behind the arc in the second half, including 3/4 by Brown, to finish 5/18 (28%). Expect that to be the norm this season.
Seth Greenberg's Third Generation was well represented today. At one point in the first half, Tech had 4 true freshmen on the court with Dorian Finney-Smith, Robert Brown, C.J. Barksdale, and Joey van Zegeren… and the fifth player was sophomore Tyrone Garland.
Garland led all scorers with 13 points, though he also produced 7 turnovers. Adam Sollazzo had 13 for etsu, 11 of which were in the second half. Robert Brown had 12 (all in the second half) and DFS had 10. Dorenzo Hudson scored 9 in the first half but did not score in the second half. Jarell Eddie also chipped in 8. The Hokies got just 12 points from their low post players (Davila – 7, Barksdale – 5, Raines – 0). But Barksdale did snag 7 rebounds and Davila added 6.

Increased vascularity without cyanosis implies a left to right shunt or high output state such as anemia. Shunt vascularity (sharp prominent vasculature) is active vascular congestion while passive vasculature congestion (hazy prominent vasculature) is due to failure.

Significance and Use
These test methods provide a quantitative measure of the pressure-sensitive tack property of an adhesive.
These test methods are designed to measure the tack property of the adhesive mass. The tack of a given adhesive varies depending on the backing (generally, stiffer backings lead to higher values).
Theses test methods are suitable for quality control and research purposes.
Test Method A (using Tensile Tester) makes use of a specimen strip 7 in. (175 mm) in length. Both the FINAT FTM 9 "Quick Stick" Tack Measurement Test and the TLMI L-IB2 Tensile Tester Loop Tack Test also use a specimen strip of that length.
Test Method B (using Loop Tack Tester) makes use of a specimen strip five in. (125 mm) in length. That is the only length specimen strip that fits properly in the loop tack tester.
If the adhesive is not already otherwise coated, these test methods incorporate the use of a clear 2 mil (0.05 mm) polyester (PET) film backing for specimen preparation. Use of other backing materials changes performance of the specimen to be tested.
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the determination of properties of a pressure-sensitive adhesive. These test methods are applicable to those adhesives that form a bond of measurable strength rapidly upon contact with another surface. Tack force may be measured as the force required to separate the adhesive from the adherend at the interface shortly after they have been brought into contact under a load equal only to the weight of the pressure-sensitive article (for example, tape, label, sticker, etc.) on a 1 in.2 contact area.
1.2 The following test methods are included:
1.2.1 Test Method A (using Tensile Tester), and
1.2.2 Test Method B (using Loop Tack Tester).
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard because the industry standard width for pressure-sensitive tape is 1 inch. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
