Quantitative research is designed to test well-specified hypotheses,
determine whether an intervention did more harm than good, and find out how
much a risk factor predisposes persons to disease. Equally important, qualitative
research offers insight into emotional and experiential phenomena in health
care to determine what, how, and why. There are 4 essential aspects of qualitative
analysis. First, the participant selection must be well reasoned and their
inclusion must be relevant to the research question. Second, the data collection
methods must be appropriate for the research objectives and setting. Third,
the data collection process, which includes field observation, interviews,
and document analysis, must be comprehensive enough to support rich and robust
descriptions of the observed events. Fourth, the data must be appropriately
analyzed and the findings adequately corroborated by using multiple sources
of information, more than 1 investigator to collect and analyze the raw data,
member checking to establish whether the participants' viewpoints were adequately
interpreted, or by comparison with existing social science theories. Qualitative
studies offer an alternative when insight into the research is not well established
or when conventional theories seem inadequate.

Evidence suggesting the existence of a state of relative adrenal insufficiency in patients with Sydenham's chorea has been presented.1 Similarly, a state of relative adrenal insufficiency has been shown to exist in patients with active or inactive rheumatic fever.* Since corticotropin and cortisone have been reported to be efficacious in therapy of exudative rheumatic fever,† and since similar biochemical and physiological abnormalities occur in patients with both of these diseases, it seems logical that hormone therapy might be of value in chorea.
In the past four years several case reports on the use of corticotropin and cortisone in the treatment of Sydenham's chorea have appeared in the literature.‡ Results reported by these investigators have been widely divergent, some reporting favorably on hormone therapy, whereas others report that this form of therapy does not alter the clinical course of the disease.

Bradley pretty much didn't handle the situations properly, it's why he is hated. I think he is trying to be controversial, he tried to play a bad guy thinking he would sell himself like Floyd did, but that isn't his personality.
He doesn't talk trash this is why it's pretty awkward when he does because you know that isn't his nature. He made a mistake also by continuing to talk trash about Pacman over a controversial win, he should have just said I am ready to rematch Pacquiao and kept it at that, it hurt him when he said he had to go look at the tape too post fight.
This is why if you don't know how to play the villian don't even try or you will just fail. I doubt people will order a ppv headlined by Bradley unless it's against a big name like Pacman, Floyd.

No, I'm actually happy for him but I'm not in full agreement with some of his actions. It's best he keeps busy. Who I really sympathize with is Rigondeaux, the top fighters won't even acknowledge him. Someone like Rigondeaux would have been dying to get at a Peterson or Alvarado-caliber opponent.

MOBILE, Alabama -- A local real estate investor pleaded guilty today to manipulating auctions of foreclosed properties, becoming the 4th person to admit to a long-running conspiracy.
Under terms of the plea agreement, Lawrence B. Stacy would serve 6 months in prison, pay a $10,000 fine and make restitution in the amount of $1,500.
"The Antitrust Division will continue to pursue vigorously the perpetrators involved in these real estate foreclosure auction schemes," Sharis A. Pozen, acting assistant attorney general said in a prepared statement. "Those who eliminate competition from the marketplace and prey on the misfortune of others will be held accountable for their actions."
Defense attorney Bruce Aune declined to comment.
The investigation is part of a recent push by President Barrack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, created to crack down on financial fraud.
Stacy pleaded guilty to a bid-rigging conspiracy and conspiracy to commit mail fraud. He admitted that he conspired with others from May 2002 to January 2007 to arrange which investor would place bids on certain properties. The agreements had the effect of depressing competition and reducing prices.
After the designated bidder bought a property at the public auctions, which typically take place at the county courthouse, the conspirators generally would hold a secret, second auction, at which each participant would bid on how much more than the public auction price he or she was willing to pay.
The highest bidder at the secret, second auction won the property.
In January, a federal judge in Mobile fined M&B Builders $250,000 for its role in the scheme. It's co-owner, Harold H. Buchman, pleaded guilty, as have Allen K. French and Bobby Threlkeld Jr. All 3 await sentencing.

I have a great interest in bowling, although I don't own my own ball or shoes. Part of the game's appeal for me is that it's simple in premise but there is great depth to it. This also explains why I like the Katamari games and Tetris. The physics of bowling is complicated, but not so much so that you can't get your mind around everything that's happening. This is the sort of thing that makes a game a likely candidate for video game simulation. However this has not been without some major missteps.
Bowling for the Atari 2600 was a joke - one of my bowling teammates from school had mastered it within weeks. She explained to the rest of us that as long as you stood in one particular spot, you could get a strike every time. That feature notwithstanding, it also rarely left spares typical of actual bowling based on where the ball hit the pins. I ignored bowling video games for a while, hoping they would eventually catch up. I picked up Gotham Games' Big Strike Bowling out of the PlayStation 1 bargain bin, only to find that they incorrectly spaced the pins making it basically unplayable. One of the Spiderman games for the PS2 had a mode where Spiderman swung down the lane, swinging into a group of webbed-up enemies arranged like bowling pins. I think Bruce Campbell's voice-over was better than the game, but to be fair I am a big fan of Bruce Campbell. I was somewhat satisfied with Tekken Bowl in Tekken Tag Tournament. Despite the fact that the pins were top-heavy and the lanes had no gutters (errant curve balls just head off into the crowd), it felt a lot more like bowling than a lot of the previous games that I had played. Even so, I managed to bowl at least one 300 - since I figured out Gun Jack's aiming system. Now, some of you will probably mention that they had come out with some serious bowling simulators that I should have been more satisfied with - for whatever reason I passed on all of these, instead opting for only semi-serious bowling games. This is in keeping with my overall character with a gamer - on the golf side, I like Hot Shots and Outlaw Golf a lot more than that Tiger Woods game. I also enjoyed the bowling modes in Super Monkey Ball, SMB2, and SMB Junior . There was still something not quite right about these games, but there was not a real way to fix it - after all, it's not like they could rig up a mock bowling ball full of sensors and let you swing it around the living room or anything.
So, that brings us to Wii Sports - or if you are just now playing Wii, possibly Wii Sports Resort. Each has a bowling mode in it, but they are not the same. Wii Sports has a fairly simple interface, and the controller doesn't really allow for too much nonsense with how the ball is released down the lane other than liberally allowing you to loft the ball. Wii Sports Resort, since it uses the Wii Motion Plus controller, is a little more advanced in its interface and allows you a choice between manual ball release and automatic ball release. If you played the original Wii Sports, you are already comfortable with the manual ball release. Automatic ball release it what it says, I will discuss it no further other than to say you lazy slackers should be using manual ball release.
For those that are unfamiliar, here's the basic motion. You start by holding the Wiimote upright (the nose of the controller where the IR sensor is pointed at the ceiling) and holding the B button. (It's the trigger-shaped button on the back.) You swing your arm back like you would if actually bowling, and your character starts walking forward on their own. As you swing your arm forward again, you release the B button to let go of the bowling ball. The speed of your forward arm swing and the timing of the release determine the initial velocity. Here's where it starts to diverge between the two versions.
In Wii Sports, a somewhat late release of the B button will give the ball some loft - in other words, it will carry through the air a little before it lands and the static roll angle of the controller (presumably at the instant you release the B button) determines how much spin there is on the ball.
In Wii Sports Resort, a late release of the B button does not appear to yield any loft, as I have been unable to do it at all. Spin on the ball is determined in a more dynamic fashion, by how much roll and in what direction happens to the controller during your throwing motion. A slight amount of tilt on the controller yields almost no spin now, or a negligible amount. Let's imagine the face of a clock, and the hour hand is the normal vector to the plane of the surface of the Wiimote where the all of the buttons (except for the B button) are located. If the controller were face up, we'll call that twelve o'clock. If the controller were face down, where the only recognizable feature was the B button, we'll call that six o-clock. For example, if in Wii Sports you were curving it a couple of dots to the left by angling the controller to ten o'clock, in Wii Sports Resort, you would have to go from twelve o'clock to ten o'clock during the swing to achieve a similar effect.
This simple change, going from a static to a dynamic input for curving the ball, makes Wii Sports Resort even a little bit more like actual bowling. The amount of curve you were able to put on the ball in Wii Sports was not anything like what you might see from a pro bowler. Now, the experience of cranking a killer hook deep into the pocket can happen in the living room without one of the kids breaking a lamp. (Maybe.) My typical hook is from ten o'clock around to four-thirty - I have to stand way to the left to make that work, but the pin action is much more impressive than if I just throw a straight ball into the pocket.
My other favorite addition to the bowling in Wii Sports Resort was the 100-pin game. It's still ten frames, but it's 100 pins instead of 10. The score is computed the same way, so a perfect score is 3000 instead of 300. Converting spares of more than three pins are nearly impossible unless they're clustered together. And what's even better, is that this awesome bowling game comes with a bunch of other games - Ping-Pong, Archery, Basketball, Beating Cartoon Avatars With a Bamboo Stick Fencing, Wakeboarding, and a few more. So, if you have a Wii and liked Wii Sports, you should get it. If you don't have a Wii yet but want to get in on the bowling action, the new bundles include both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort (unless you get the Mario 25th Anniversary Red Bundle in which case I would guess you're not going to be doing much bowling even if you do get the regular Wii Sports).

This Jam is so good. This is the first time I've ever bought or tasted rhubarb. It is tangy and the taste of ginger gives it a refreshing zip. Saving for our Thanksgiving dinner.
Excellent jam, glad I read the comments first. I halved the sugar and cooked it for longer. It has a great jam consistency and my husband loves the taste.

Black Lava and his herd have been driven up to Sky Mountain to keep them away from polluted water. But there's only room for one lead horse on the mountain, and Snowfire, the white stallion, has already claimed it as his own. Sure enough, Darby soon sees Snowfire chase Black Lava onto ranch lands.

Developed by Sega and published exclusively for the PlayStation 3, 'Yakuza: Dead Souls' is an incredible action-adventure game and the sixth instalment in the innovative and increasingly ferocious Yakuza series. Focusing on bloody rivalries between the different gangs and factions of the Japanese Mafia, the Yakuza series has always showcased plenty of aggression and gore. Dead Souls now introduces zombies to the tense fray, with the both feared and revered Yakuza now seen as the only hope of survival.
The game is set in the streets of the red light district of Kamurocho in Tokyo, where a zombie outbreak has taken hold, filling the gutters with carnage and death. The Japan Ground Self-Defence Force tried and failed to contain the outbreak, leaving the city to succumb to these flesh-hungry undead monsters. At the same time, Kazuma Kiryu returns to Kamurocho from Okinawa after receiving an ominous phone call from a mysterious man that says he has kidnapped Haruka, Kiryu's stepdaughter. The game is split into four chapters, each dedicated to one of the four terrorising characters, allowing you to play as Kazuma Kiryu (legendary former Yakuza boss), Shun Akiyama (elusive loan shark), Goro 'Mad-dog' Majima (feared insane Yakuza and pirate gangster of sorts), and Ryuji Goda (Dragon of Kansai). In this high-action, adrenalin-fuelled free for all, gun down the hordes of zombies whilst setting out to save loved ones and the remaining human citizens of Kamurocho in this undead apocalypse.
The district of Kamurocho, outside of the containment area, is still bustling with revenue and business, from the restaurants, hostess bars, casinos, and arcades, to the infamous 'happy ending' massage parlours. This allows for a great deal to explore and take part in, including golf and fishing, with plenty of mini-games and side missions to complement the original quest. Alongside the unforgivable swarms of wave upon wave of zombies you can find within the containment area, you will be challenged by gigantic, mega mutant bosses, complete with regenerating health and so much more to truly put your Yakuza skills and blood lust to the test. To help with the increasing number of zombies and difficulty, Yakuza: Dead Souls provides each character with different weapons, as well as a gun upgrade system and the option to buy new ones, so you can constantly improve and expand your artillery and arsenal as you progress throughout the game. The one thing you can fear more than zombies is the Yakuza.(Cat Emerson)

Yakuza: Dead Souls is a nice game. It's a non-stop action game. There's more action than horror, but it's a nice game.
Yakuza: Dead Souls focuses on a "what if" scenario where a zombie outbreak occurs in Kamurocho. Each character play a role in trying to stop the outbreak. The game play changes from what Yakuza is mainly about - fighting. Instead, you now mainly use guns, from shotguns to gatling guns. Returning is the upgrade system, not only for the player character, but now for weapons and armour. Dead Souls still uses most of the familiar Yakuza systems of inventory management, playable mini games (such as: Mahjong and Gambling), and the familiar setting of Kamurocho (although it has somewhat changed due to the outbreak). With the main mission of stopping the outbreak, there are side quests of helping people with their problems, should you choose to do so. Bad points of the game include the character animation, where once hit, it takes you a couple of seconds to get up and move. The problem with this is that any object sent towards you will knock you down. This state of always getting hit by something will repeat this animation until you are clear to move away, which can lead to you losing quite a lot of health. Another bad aspect of the game, a minor for most people, is that you cannot change the control setup. You will have to aim with the left stick, instead of the shooter standard right stick.
Yakuza: Dead Souls is a must buy if you enjoyed Dead Rising and you want more.
I love the original Yakuza series and this Yakuza: Dead Souls spin off is fun to play as well. It features a weird but great story and nice graphics. The controls aren't as convenient as in other popular shooting games, but it works well when you've figured it out.
If you are a fan of Yakuza series or zombie action games you will like Yakuza: Dead Souls. At this bargain price you just can't go wrong with this game!
First off this game gets really boring after a while. Running around trying to find all the sub-stories is boring. This game is a real let down, I would never buy a Yakuza title again.
Yakuza: Dead Souls is nice zombie game. I was skeptical about the game but when I played the first few hours I was really surprised; I like the gamestyle and there are so many zombies to kill. I really like the game, only thing I don't like is the graphics.
Edition of the game is not much different from the previous release, still fun and addictive game.
Yakuza: Dead Souls is an incredible experience! Really fun and easy to play. I don't like shooters or zombies very much but I knew this would be different. If you're a fan of the series and like fun spin-offs then you'll definitely like this. It's similar to Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare but so much easier to play!!! Just like any other Yakuza game!
The game is some kind of GTA with zombies and horror setting. Very funny, durable, with lots of missions and action. If you like Dead Rising you should really try this game.
Yakuza: Dead Souls is a very good zombie game. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves the Yakuza franchise.
You will kill so many zombies! So much fun!
Yakuza Dead Souls is a mix of all the previous games with added flavour provided by the zombie outbreak in Kamurocho. Aside from all the zombie killing and survival, our heroes can also enjoy the fun and pleasures of the city either by engaging in various mini-games or dates with several hostesses. Hours and hours of story and several sidequests keep you playing until the dead are taken care of!
Yakuza: Dead Souls is a perfect shooter game in the Yakuza Style.
I love Yakuza: Dead Souls, and I love the story and the gameplay. This game is about Zombie outbreak and instead of using fists to beat down enemies, the Yakuza now use guns. It's bloody mindless fun, the story is quite interesting even though it's not the caliber of the other Yakuza games but it's fun and funny. Also the boss from Yakuza 2 now is back to join your team, to save the city. If you like Yakuza, you should add this into your collection. At this price, it's definitely worth every penny. Cheers!
The well known Yakuza: Dead Souls characters are back to save Kamurocho from the zombies. Yakuza: Dead Souls is a great game for those who've played the previous episodes. Graphics are at the same level (what you saw in Yakuza 3 and 4) and the 10-13 hours long story is simple but enjoyable. The game's controls are occasionally terrible e.g. camera movement: when you try to make some headshots. A few hours later it will be easier with some experience. I recommend the game for Yakuza fans, it's a very good "special episode" until the Yakuza 5 release.
If you enjoyed Yakuza 4 you probably will enjoy Yakuza: Dead Souls. You will find yourself in a familiar city, but this time it's all about shooting instead of fighting. The controls are a bit odd, but once you are getting used to it you will work your way through hundreds of zombies easily. All in all I would recommend this game to fans of the Yakuza series. Others I would recommend to play Yakuza 4 first.
Absolutely love the Yakuza series and this is no exception, classic storyline, check. Good atmosphere, playability, music, difficulty level and humour. Its a zombie/action movie experience on crack. This is a must buy for any fans out there. 9/10. One star taken off for camera problems (i.e. you are vulnerable to attack when repositioning yourself camerawise in game)
Yakuza: Dead Souls has great graphics and lots of stuff to do. It's a good idea to cross over Yakuza and zombies. The gameplay is a little difficult at first but you get the hang of it very quickly. This title gives you a lot for the price you pay, and it's great.
I think magazines have given too low scores to Yakuza: Dead Souls! It's fun, and has that famous "yakuza-feeling", and this time, zombies! It's a nice game before the official Yakuza 5.
The Yakuza saga is excellent, and this spin-off, Yakuza: Dead Souls is great! Buy it!
This game is very Japanese in a good and bad ways. The story is lacking, tongue in cheek, self-referential and a fun ride. with some good cut scenes for the main story and plenty of side stuff to plump up the time that can be spent with the four characters you can play as. But game play wise, it struggles with the series roots of being a brawler, by having a third person shooter dumped on top. Its a shame, this game could of been great, but strange design decisions that feel very Japanese with the gameplay and control side of things ruin everything else going for the game. I had fun but wouldn't recommend it unless you either know its something you like or want to try out a game that would probably never be made in the west. There is nothing quite like these game, but your better of trying Yakuza 3 or 4 to test the waters for your tastes.
As a fan of Yakuza 3 and 4 I had a lot of high hopes for this game. The game is fun but there are some noticeable differences. For a start the combat is all shooting based as opposed to hand to hand. Weapons can be used but usually will only temporarily stun the zombies so you will be relying on guns. This is where the main problem comes in. The shooting mechanics are poor, the camera gets in the way and you often find yourself shooting the wall, the camera snaps to behind your character rather than where the enemies are and locking on isnt accurate, It gets very frustrating and as a result Im not sure if I will be able to complete the game. Its a real shame as the story seems interesting and I have completed Yakuza 3 and 4 without any camera or control issues. In conclusion think before you buy, may be worth checking videos on YouTube to see the mechanics before you buy. If you can get past the controls then its a good game, but the controls really do make it a chore to play!
Yakuza: Dead Souls is super cool. It's not like any of the others in the series, but is very entertaining nonetheless.
Loads of shooters, loads of zombies, it's absolutely ace son. Chat up hostesses, play darts, go bowling and blow the walking dead to pieces. Buy it now before it's gone!
A good attempt at making the series different but not as good as the older series, great price
The actual Yakuza game itself is wonderful and would have been fantastic if they had implemented multiplayer. Lots of stuff to do, with great mini games and lots of zombies to destroy in various ways. Gotta love levelling up your character and the weapons. Overall, it is an extension of the Yakuza series which only fans will put up with. A chance to bring new fans into the series has been messed up by Sega with an awful control system and the lack of multiplayer is very disappointing.
I love the Yakuza game series. I've played every game, and this title is different, not only for the bizarre story twist, which works well with the humour these games has, but also, the action sections are gun based. The only thing negative, while an interesting change, is that it gets very repetitive exploring the same sections of the game with dodgy camera angles and respawning zombies. After the first few hours, you get used to it, but it still doesn't rival stomping on a downed enemy's face. Anyway, if your a Yakuza fan, I say you should buy it. It might take a bit of getting used to, but it's a nice change of pace, if a bit of a frustrating at times. Overall, it's a cool game, well worth buying and has a lot of mini games, which alone is hours worth of fun.

Famous Short Clothes Poems. Short Clothes Poetry by Famous Poets. A collection of the all-time best Clothes short poems
White rocks jutting from Ching stream
The weather's cold, red leaves few
No rain at all on the paths in the hills
Clothes are wet with the blue air.
There was a young belle of Natchez
Whose garments were always in patchez.
When comment arose
On the state of her clothes,
She drawled, When Ah itchez, Ah scratchez!
That country girl has witched your wishes
all dressed up in her country clothes
and she hasn't got the sense
to hitch her rags above her ankles.
--Translated by Jim Powell
O wheel of heaven! no ties of bread you feel,
No ties of salt, you flay me like an eel!
A woman's wheel spins clothes for man and wife,
It does more good than you, O heavenly wheel!
If you will die for me,
I will die for you
and our graves will be like two lovers washing
their clothes together
in a laundromat
If you will bring the soap
I will bring the bleach.
Things out of perfection sail,
And all their swelling canvas wear,
Nor shall the self-begotten fail
Though fantastic men suppose
Building-yard and stormy shore,
Winding-sheet and swaddling - clothes.
Whenas in silks my Julia goes,
Till, then, methinks, how sweetly flows
That liquefaction of her clothes!
Next, when I cast mine eyes, and see
That brave vibration each way free;
O how that glittering taketh
O Wheel of Heaven! Thou art complete in Thy ingratitude.
Thou keepest me constantly bare [naked]
like a fish. The weaver's loom weaves clothes for human
beings; more charitable is it than Thou, O Wheel of
Perhaps they do not go so far
As we who stay, suppose --
Perhaps come closer, for the lapse
Of their corporeal clothes --
It may be know so certainly
How short we have to fear
That comprehension antedates
And estimates us there --
A faded Boy -- in sallow Clothes
Who drove a lonesome Cow
To pastures of Oblivion --
A statesman's Embryo --
The Boys that whistled are extinct --
The Cows that fed and thanked
Remanded to a Ballad's Barn
Or Clover's Retrospect --
I go down the street
Grotesque, without solution
With the sadness of Cyrano
And Quixote.
Infinite impossiblities
With the rhythm of the clock.
(The captive voice, far away.
Put on a cricket' clothes.)
Little Polly FlindersSat among the cinders Warming her pretty little toes;Her mother came and caught her,Whipped her little daughter For spoiling her nice new clothes.
Light cloud pavilion light rain
Dark yard day weary open
Sit look green moss colour
About to on person clothes come
There's light cloud, and drizzle round the pavilion,
In the dark yard, I wearily open a gate.
I sit and look at the colour of green moss,
Ready for people's clothing to pick up.
How fits his Umber Coat
The Tailor of the Nut?
Combined without a seam
Like Raiment of a Dream --
Who spun the Auburn Cloth?
Computed how the girth?
The Chestnut aged grows
In those primeval Clothes --
We know that we are wise --
Accomplished in Surprise --
Yet by this Countryman --
This nature -- how undone!
If I were called in
To construct a religion
I should make use of water.
Going to church
Would entail a fording
To dry, different clothes;
My liturgy would employ
Images of sousing,
A furious devout drench,
And I should raise in the east
A glass of water
Where any-angled light
Would congregate endlessly.
"THE mountain village was destroy'd;
But see how soon is fill'd the void!
Shingles and boards, as by magic arise,
The babe in his cradle and swaddling-clothes lies;
How blest to trust to God's protection!"
Behold a wooden new erection,
So that, if sparks and wind but choose,
God's self at such a game must lose!
WHAT pleasure to me
A bridegroom would be!
When married we are,
They call us mamma.
No need then to sew,
To school we ne'er go;
Command uncontroll'd,
Have maids, whom to scold;
Choose clothes at our ease,
Of what tradesmen we please;
Walk freely about,
And go to each rout,
And unrestrained are
By papa or mamma.
This poem was found written on a paper bag by Richard
Brautigan in a laundromat in San Francisco. The author is unknown.
By accident, you put
Your money in my
Machine (#4)
By accident, I put
My money in another
Machine (#6)
On purpose, I put
Your clothes in the
Empty machine full
Of water and no
It was lonely.
Xhosa women in clothes too light
for the weather have brought wild flowers
and sit sloped along the Claremont road.
I see her through rolled windows,
watch her watch me to decide if I'll pay.
It's South Africa, after all, after apartheid;
but we're still idling here, my car to her curb,
my automatic locks to her inadequate wage.
If I'd as much money as I could spend,I never would cry old chairs to mend;Old chairs to mend, old chairs to mend;I never would cry old chairs to mend.If I'd as much money as I could tell,I never would cry old clothes to sell;Old clothes to sell, old clothes to sell;I never would cry old clothes to sell.
Suddenly, desperately
I thought, "No, never
In millions of minutes
Can I for one second
Calm-leaving my own self
Like clothes on a chair-back
And quietly opening
The door of one house
(No, not one of all millions)
Of blood, flesh and brain,
Climb the nerve-stair and look
From the tower, from the windows
Of eyes not my own: ...
No, never, no, never!"
Clothes: to compose
The furtive, lone
Pillar of bone
To some repose.
To let hands shirk
Utterance behind
A pocket's blind
Deceptive smirk.
To mask, belie
The undue haste
Of breast for breast
Or thigh for thigh.
To screen, conserve
The pose, when death
Half strips the sheath
And leaves the nerve.
To edit, glose
Lyric desire
And slake its fire
In polished prose.
Jazz radio on a midnight kick,
Round about Midnight.
Sitting on the bed,
With a jazz type chick
Round about Midnight,
Piano laughter, in my ears,
Round about Midnight.
Stirring up laughter, dying tears,
Round about Midnight.
Soft blue voices, muted grins,
Excited voices, Father's sins,
Round about Midnight.
Come on baby, take off your clothes,
Round about Midnight.
Why did Albert Schirding kill himself
Trying to be County Superintendent of Schools,
Blest as he was with the means of life
And wonderful children, bringing him honor
Ere he was sixty?
If even one of my boys could have run a news-stand,
Or one of my girls could have married a decent man,
I should not have walked in the rain
And jumped into bed with clothes all wet,
Refusing medical aid.
The litle boy was looking for his voice.
(The King of the crickets had it.)
In a drop of water
the little boy was looking for his voice.
I do not want it for speaking with;
I will make a ring of it
so that he may wear my silence
on his little finger.
In a drop of water
the little boy was looking for his voice.
(The captive voice, far away.
Put on a cricket' clothes.)

To the Editor:—
The editorial in The Journal, October 31, on water filtration versus chlorination fails to take cognizance of certain practical questions. The blunt assertion is made that, "if a bacteriologically safe drinking water is desired, it may be obtained by chlorination." Actually this statement might be approximately true if one were to put in a hundred or a thousand times as much chlorine as could be absorbed by the organic matter during periods of low pollution. This would be necessary, because the degree of pollution of large sources changes suddenly and enormously, as the reports of the Chicago Board of Health show. No one would drink really safe chlorinated water. In practice it is impossible to make large water supplies safe by chlorination alone.The editorial does not consider the fact that filtration does not supplant chlorination but only supplements it. The initial chlorination can be carried on

This is a groups of campus IT support staff established to help provide extra support to campus faculty and staff. Seminars are often planned to enhance members' expertise.
TSP membership (~ 300 members) is divided into three groups: Consultants, Providers and Contacts.
Consultants (< 60 members, sometimes referred to as College Consultants) are members of a College or Division-level IT support group. A Lead Consultant serves as a primary representative in their areas for IT support and direction. Lead consultants can sponsor (or remove) providers or contacts or they can delegate this authority to others in their area.
Providers (< 190 members, also called Technical Support Providers or TSPs) are the staff who make support calls. They fix computers and/or coordinate people who do. Currently, the list of providers includes most college and departmental consultants and CCIT staff. Providers require a sponsorship from a Lead Consultant in a College or administrative area (see below for more details). The Provider update meetings are normally held monthly. There are exceptions, when the meeting dates are moved due to conflicts. Check here to confirm the next meeting time.
For Contacts, benefits will be the resources already included with the original TSP program, which include (but are not limited to) the following:
For Providers, the list of benefits is more robust and includes all of the Contact benefits plus the following:
If you want to join the TSP, there is a web form with the necessary information (see below). If you are interested in becoming named a Provider, you must be sponsored by a Lead Consultant or by a CCIT employee, depending on your location on campus. Contact the your Lead Consultant in your area for more information or, if you aren't sure who can sponsor you, send a message to email@example.com.

A Fitting Tribute: Payne Stewart GC Honors the Late, Great Open Champion
Bobby Clampett is on the phone describing his work on the Payne Stewart Golf Club in Branson, Mo. "We put a rock just in front of the seventh tee to act as an intermediary target," he says. "Payne suffered with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and so had a few issues with concentration on the golf course. While he was usually hyper-focused at the majors, he sometimes wasn't there mentally at the less important events."
Payne Stewart Golf Club - No. 1
To combat the problem, Stewart had acupuncture, took Ritalin and saw psychologist Richard Coop. "Dick (Coop) suggested he get in the habit of using an intermediary target when setting up, and he did well with it for a while. But in '99 he stopped and at the U.S. Open Dick confronted him about it. Payne admitted he had stopped, committed to doing it again and six days later won the U.S. Open."
It's a great story, and every hole on the 7,319-yard course, a tribute to the three-time major champion, has one. The second, "Chandelle," gets its name from a maximum-climb, maximum-bank maneuver used by fighter pilots to increase altitude while making a 180° turn. Sam Snead used the term to describe a high fade. He passed it on to nephew J.C., who passed it on to Stewart. At the '99 Open, Stewart used his Chandelle to birdie the par-3 3 15th the first two rounds.
Payne Stewart Golf Club - No. 8
A plaque at the fifth - "Road Hole" - recounts the incredible par Stewart made in the first round of the 1990 Open Championship at St. Andrews when he was forced to knock his third shot against the wall behind the green at the Old Course's treacherous 17th. His ball finished just on the back fringe from where he chipped in.
"Divot Downer," the 15th, recalls the moment in the final round of the 1998 U.S. Open when Stewart's ball came to rest in a sand-filled divot on the 12th fairway. His approach shot came up short in a bunker from where he made bogey. He would eventually lose the tournament to Lee Janzen by a shot. Stewart had long argued that divots filled with sand and seed should be deemed ground under repair. Anyone finding a sand-filled divot at the Payne Stewart Golf Club can therefore lift and drop within one club's length of the nearest point of relief, not nearer the hole.
Payne Stewart Golf Club - No. 4
The idea to memorialize Payne Stewart by building a golf course that bears his name was that of Richard Brooks, director of the Payne Stewart Memorial, a golf facility and program at the Kids Across America in Branson which introduces disadvantaged, inner-city children to the game.
"Kids Across America is a part of Camp Kanakuk (also in Branson) and a Christian camp that was Payne's favorite charity," says Clampett, who played college golf against Stewart but became more than just an acquaintance through PGA Tour Bible studies and their mutual friendship with Paul Azinger. "Payne took his kids there in the summer, so it was appropriate for the Payne Stewart Memorial, which I founded and am still on the board of, to build the golf center there which we did in conjunction with the First Tee of the Ozarks.
Payne Stewart Golf Club - No. 3
"Richard had heard that local developers HCW and Stonegate Realty were looking to build a course in Branson," Clampett continues. "So he contacted Mark Elgin, the CEO at Stonegate, to set up a meeting."
"We met for breakfast at the Chateau in Branson," says Elgin. "We hit it off immediately and actually discovered we had a connection going back 30 years to when we were both associated with the Landmark Company. I was a Landmark employee at the time and Bobby represented the company on tour."
That was in 2004, says Elgin, who was eager to get started. Before any work could commence, however, the concept would have to gain approval from D.J. Snell, head of Payne Stewart Enterprises and, of course, Payne's wife Tracey. "Once they understood our substance and experience as developers and our commitment to quality, they quickly embraced the project," says Elgin.
Ground-breaking on the $31 million layout took place on July 24, 2006. The site, part of the 1,200-acre HCW/Stonegate-owned Branson Hills development about 40 miles south of where Stewart grew up in Springfield, Mo., was typical of the Ozark Plateau, with rugged terrain complete with exposed rock and numerous natural waterfalls. "It was such a great site," says Clampett. "It had rolling hills, waterfalls, brooks and streams. It's a big course with big features, but we designed it to be enjoyable for everyone: professionals and 40-handicappers. We think it's a top 100 course."
Clampett's co-designer was little-known Chuck Smith, whose entire golf portfolio consisted of a couple of courses in Wake County, N.C. "I went to North Carolina to look at Crooked Creek and River Ridge, his other designs, and was impressed," says Elgin. "They weren't Trent Jones or Fazio, but they were good. I hadn't heard of Chuck Smith before, but he was a very pleasant surprise. He totally got what we were doing and what we were trying to build. The design is a little Fazio-esque in places I suppose. When Tom did Old Overton for us in Birmingham, Ala., he said it would be a great course if he could somehow tame the site. It was a bit like that for Chuck and Bobby at Payne Stewart Golf Club. But they did a great job. I think this course will put Chuck on the map."
Smith, who Clampett describes as a long-time friend and a very talented landscape architect, provided the technical expertise while Clampett worked on the routing, identifying the holes. "We had wanted to build golf courses together for many years," says Clampett. "He was the technical, engineering and landscaping brains. I was more a consultant designer with experience of what works and what doesn't."
The front nine opened for play late last year while the back saw its first play a month ago. The grand official opening which, like the course, was open to the public, took place on June 6th and offered guests course tours and open houses. "The Grand Opening was a huge success," says Director of Golf, TJ Baggett. "We estimate feeding about 1,200 people and had another 800 throughout the day. The morning scramble tournament was highlighted by the participation of Payne's son Aaron. Tracey Stewart was there, too, and very much enjoyed seeing how well the facility turned out. Local pros conducted tennis exhibitions, the SeeMore putter company, whose putters Payne had used, hosted a putting contest which about 300 people participated in and the Eagles tribute band 'Take It To the Limit' capped off our evening."
Attendees were also able to view the magnificent collection of Payne Stewart memorabilia in the clubhouse. "We have some really great stuff in there," says Baggett. "Payne played in five Ryder Cups and we have his bag from all five. We also have the irons with which he won the '99 U.S. Open. There are several putters, clothing obviously, a ton of great photography, and a replica of the U.S. Open trophy which he won twice of course."
As accolades for what is already considered a superb golf course pour in, spirits at Payne Stewart Golf Club are naturally high just now. But on October 25th, the mood will surely turn sour for a day as the plus-foured staff mark the 10th anniversary of Stewart's tragic death. Mark Elgin says the discussion on exactly what the club should do started earlier this year but, as yet, no decision has been made. "Whatever we do, it will, of course, be something respectfully observant," he adds. "But to be perfectly honest, it's not our occasion to mark."
It will be a somber occasion indeed for Clampett, who insists he and Stewart were never close buddies but were on a similar spiritual wavelength. "Towards the end of Payne's life we reconnected," he says. "We had a lot of things in common; love of family, friends and faith."
And of course, golf. Stewart would no doubt appreciate the course Clampett and Smith have built in his honor and Clampett hopes it will serve as an enduring monument to one of the game's most colorful and compassionate characters.
"Obviously I want everyone who plays here to enjoy it and think it's a great course," he says. "But more than that, it was created to celebrate Payne's life. It's a tribute to him and we want it to be a reflection of him as much as possible. With the design of each hole and the stories that are assigned to them, we hope those that play the Payne Stewart Golf Club will go home feeling that they know Payne, or at least remember what sort of man he was, a little bit better."

Tony Dear is an Englishman living in Bellingham, Wash. In the early 1990s he was a member of the Liverpool University golf team which played its home matches at Royal Liverpool GC. Easy access to Hoylake made it increasingly difficult for him to focus on Politics (his chosen major) and, after dropping out, he ended up teaching golf at a club just south of London where he also made a futile attempt at becoming a "player." He moved into writing when it became abundantly clear he had no business playing the game for a living. A one-time golf correspondent of the New York Sun, Tony is a member of the Golf Writers Association of America, the Pacific Northwest Golf Media Association and the Golf Travel Writers Association. In 2009, Tony won first place for Editorial/Opinion in the ING Media Awards for Cybergolf. The article (http://www.cybergolf.com/golf_newsa_euros_take_on_the_2008_ryder_cup_matches) that impressed the judges was the one about Europe's Ryder Cup team and Captain Nick Faldo's decision to pick Paul Casey and Ian Poulter rather than Darren Clarke.

By Staff Sgt. Richard SherbaJuly 2, 2014
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii - During the late hours of June 24 a 10-staff personal security detachment team from the 57th Military Police Company, 728th MP Battalion, 8th MP Brigade, 8th Theater Sustainment Command, boarded passenger vans at the Honolulu International Airport en route, here, to receive a welcome home from "Centurion" Soldiers.
The Centurions standing by, here, represented the entire 57th MP Co. joined by friends, colleagues and families.
To the family members who anxiously awaited their husbands and fathers it made no difference if it were 10 Soldiers returning or a thousand.
The ceremony befitted a much larger element.
From the handshake at the airport from Command Sgt. Major Charles Tobin, senior enlisted adviser, 8th TSC, to the final ride home on the H-1 freeway with the Centurion command team, to the welcoming, here, from senior leadership throughout the 728th MP Bn. and 8th MP Bde., the most important moment finally came - the hugs and kisses of wives and children.
This PSD team had responsibility for escorting, navigating and protecting battlefield leaders during a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan. It ensured the safety of battlefield leaders. Each PSD Soldier was willing to place self between the battlefield leader and harm's way at any given time.
Upon arriving, here, Sgt. 1st Class Todd Bailey, noncommissioned officer in charge, PSD, 57th MP Co., spoke about his Soldiers' performance during the deployment.
"I'm very blessed to have these Soldiers, and that God said, hey, you're going to lead them and bring them back, and I'm proud of that," he said. "These Soldiers really bloomed. Their maturity and professionalism in respect to understanding the situation and mission were outstanding."
One of the families at the redeployment ceremony was the Acosta family, consisting of May Acosta, wife of Staff Sgt. Matthew Acosta, shift leader, PSD, 57th MP Co., and their two children Karly Rose and Kalei.
As they anxiously awaited their father's return, Karly Rose and Kalei spoke about their excitement and their feelings.
"It's crazy, on a scale of 1 to 10. I am at a hundred!" said daughter Karly Rose, age 14.
Kalei, 16, the son, added, "I am just glad he is back. I knew he was coming back, but at the same time, I still worried about him."
"This is our third deployment," said, mother May. "It was a lot easier because the kids were a lot older this time, so I had a lot of help. ... Right now, I am looking forward to ... letting him readjust and letting him take his time doing that. I am so very proud of him - not just him, but all these Soldiers and any Soldier that deploys."

Hudson County residents hoping to use public transportation this weekend better act quickly, with NJ Transit and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announcing service suspensions starting at noon tomorrow.
All NJ Transit and PATH trains will stop departures at noon, while Light Rail trains will cease departing at 6 p.m., according to both agencies.
Starting at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, NJ Transit will cross-honor tickets, so its customers will be able to use any NJ Transit ticket or pass on any of their services, said spokeswoman Penny Basset Hackett.
PATH will resume services as soon as weather permits, but NJ Transit has canceled all service for Sunday. According to Hackett, the agency needs to store some of its equipment and service could not resume if the weather improves Sunday afternoon.
"Once you move all of that equipment out of its normal location, it takes hours to then return the equipment back to their proper location," she said.
Hackett said NJ Transit is particularly concerned about Hoboken Terminal, which has the propensity to flood.

—To determine the relationship between the quality of articles and whether they were published in a supplement or in the parent journal.
Data Sources and Study Selection.
—All randomized control trials of drug therapies in adults published in the American Journal of Cardiology, the American Journal of Medicine, and the American Heart Journal from January 1990 and obtained in November 1992 by means of a MEDLINE search. A total of 318 abstracts appeared to meet our inclusion criteria, and these articles were obtained and reviewed in further detail. An additional 76 were excluded.
Data Extraction.
—Three reviewers who were "blinded" and thus unaware of supplement status independently assessed the quality of each of the remaining 242 articles according to a standard quality scoring system.
Data Synthesis.
—Overall, 67 (27.7%) of the articles were published in journal supplements. Article quality scores ranged from 4.2% to 87.5%, with a mean (±SD) score of 37.2%±13.1%. Quality scores were lower in articles published in journal supplements than in those published in the parent journal (t[240]=2.61, P=.01). The mean quality score for articles published in journal supplements was 33.6%±12.8% compared with a score of 38.5%±13.1% for articles published in the parent journal. Supplement articles included in their final analysis a smaller proportion of the patients initially randomized (t[75]=2.8, P=.007).
—Our findings suggest that randomized control trials published in journal supplements are generally of inferior quality compared with articles published in the parent journal. The review process surrounding the publication of journal supplements should be consistent with that of the parent journal.(JAMA. 1994;272:108-113)

New Aljazeera English Website Goes Live, What Do you Think?
Aljazeera English is the first english news network to be headquartered in the Arab world (Doha, Qatar) the 24-hour News TV network which is a division from the famous Aljazeera Arabic news channel has been doing some interesting stuff online in the last year or so.
Just about few hours ago the English.Aljazeera.net has been relaunched with a much better design, navigation layout and more integration with Aljazeera English videos.
The home page of Aljazeera displays the featured news ( Now it is Obama Marking Katrina Anniversary), breaking news on a ticker, below it other featured news, then videos, in-depth, blogs and programmes.
The main toolbar makes it easier than in the pervious one to navigate through the site and is divided into news which cover all continents, in-depth, features a number of analysis point of views about hot issues, programmes which are Ajazeera (AJ) English video programmes such as Empire, Riz Khan and Inside Story. The Video section offers clips from Aljazeera English and can be filtered into a specific continent or programmes. Business section is more of a general business news than the other parts of the site but it also include business blogs and a special AJ English TV show.
As for Aljazeera Blogs was launched in October 2009 offers different point of views and analysis from Aljazeera's correspondents around the world.
The single story page view for the site has a left bar which includes boxes of things such as "what is hot" and "featured." this help users find more stuff from Aljazeera English meaning more page-views for the site.
Aljazeera English also offers its users the option to subscribe to its programmes via Podcast, watch live via mobile apps including iPhone, Windows Mobile and Symbian.
PS: we asked Mohamed Nanabhay from Aljazeera English few questions about the new design and will update you once we get his reply.
We liked the new design, how about you?
Share and Enjoy

What is in this article?:
- Vegetated drainage ditches can help clean up runoff water
- Within acceptable levels
- Average median nitrate levels declined
• "And until recently, farmers just thought of them as something they need to drain water off their fields. But we can use these ditches to minimize pesticide and nutrient losses in runoff — and it can be done without taking any cropland out of production."
"There is no typical drainage ditch," says Agricultural Research Service ecologist Matt Moore.
"And until recently, farmers just thought of them as something they need to drain water off their fields. But we can use these ditches to minimize pesticide and nutrient losses in runoff — and it can be done without taking any cropland out of production."
Moore, who works at the ARS National Sedimentation Laboratory in Oxford, Miss., has been wading through edge-of-field drainage ditches since he was a boy planting rice on his family's farm in Arkansas.
The ditches — as common in agricultural landscapes as the fields they drain — range from shallow gullies that sometimes run dry to much larger channels that hold either standing or flowing water throughout the year.
Many farmers control ditch vegetation with trimming or dredging to eliminate barriers that could impede the flow of runoff. But Moore has conducted a number of studies over the past 10 years showing that drainage ditches where plants are allowed to flourish are strikingly effective at keeping agricultural pollutants in field runoff from reaching surrounding surface waters.
Blocking a path for pesticides
In one of Moore's first studies, he spent 28 days evaluating the transport and capture of atrazine and lambda-cyhalothrin in a 160-foot section of a vegetated agricultural drainage ditch in Mississippi. One hour after he started a simulated runoff event, 61 percent of the atrazine and 87 percent of the lambda-cyhalothrin had transferred from the water to the ditch vegetation, and at the end of the ditch, runoff pesticide concentrations had decreased to levels that were generally non-toxic to downstream aquatic fauna.
"I was surprised by the short distance the runoff needed to travel in the drainage ditch to lose its pesticide load," says Arkansas State University researcher Jerry Farris, who was one of the co-authors on the study. "This suggested we could use these ditches as one tool in managing agriculture from an ecological perspective."
Encouraged by initial results, Moore conducted a followup study to measure the capture of lambda-cyhalothrin and bifenthrin, both pyrethroid pesticides that can be extremely toxic to aquatic fauna even in low concentrations. Just 3 hours after the start of a simulated runoff event, he found that 96 percent of the lambda-cyhalothrin and 99 percent of the bifenthrin were already captured by the ditch vegetation.

well, Kudai has quite an amazing bio. so i felt inspired to do my own. this is a little bit about me. not much. but just incase you are interested..... I love to laugh…

im just another teenage girl making my way through life. i cant complain about it, but my life throws curves at me all the time and sometimes i really dont think i am going to make it through. so thats why i have devoted my life and love to music. it has helped me get through the past 10 or so years of life. so i will be here. just letting life take me as it wants. We were never born to follow, we were born to live out loud, live our life, and enjoy every moment of it. I live by quotes that describe who I am. You can always find me with headphones on. My favorite color is a tealish blue. I love to just relax and hang for the day in jeans and a t-shirt with my friends. I LOVE hugs. :) one day I want to be able to say that I have experienced life. Right now I cant say I have as only a teenager, but one day I will. Florida is my home but I want to go to college at vanderbuilt and spend my life in Tennessee, but I love to explore so this is not a set destination. I always believe that I am right, though I know most of the time I am wrong. I have my flaws but its ok. I accept that I am blonde and act like a dork sometimes, but that's the best part about me :D I don't bother to try and act cool, if I am at a party where everyone else is sitting around talkin and there is good music playing, I will be dancing with my best friend and I don't care how stupid I look, because there is no point in wasting our lives sitting around. I live for the moment, I don't know how much I can stress that. I fall easily. (take that for its double meaning, I trip very easily. Me =klutz and my heart will open at the most inappropriate moments, but it leads me to very happy and amazing, and very broken memories) the thing about love for me is that I believe in it so strongly. Im not out looking for it though. I just want to fall because I just will. I don't look for certain things in people, as long as the understand me or at least try to, then im good. I am a very crazy and different person, but all my friends are ok with it so I guess its not that bad ;D I love to watch the stars at night. They can tell so many stories, and they are just soooo beautiful anyway :) btw I love smiley faces :D:D:D:D:D my favorite moments are when I am hanging out with a group of friends or spending time with the special someone and just being me. I love the beach, I hate people who are rude, though cant say that im the nicest person in the world when you talk crap to me ;D somehow I have developed an allergy to apples :( I dislike it when people cant pronounce my name tho I cant blame them, it is different ;D I have toooo many favorite books and movies to list so I wont put those up. I don't have an ipod because I have a zune. Yes, I have a zune, and yes, I think that they are so much better than an ipod. If u got a problem with that go eat your face :D ily……

This show is about Kevin Laferriere's observations over the course of his life. Kevin Laferriere is the youngest of three boys who grew up in small town Dracut, MA. He talks about being a patient transporter in a hospital and the absurd amount of responsibility he was given considering he has no previous training and(oh yeah!) it's a seriously demented place to work! This show also explains how Kevin has adjusted to living in NYC for the last 6 years. For example, Kevin worked at FAO Shawrz on fifth avenue as a toy soldier. One day, a bunch of unmarked cars carrying the prime minister of Pakistan drive up to the street and several men with semi-automatic weapons jump out and "Ordered" Kevin to "Order" everyone inside the toy store. One never knew a Toy Soldier costume could be so convincing. Many stories similar to this are talked about in detail leading up to his proposal and all the responsibilities men are expected NOT to do.
