General Ecology
Fire Management Considerations
The mean, ash-free caloric value for deciduous holly leaves is 5,311
calories per gram. This value can be used in calculations to predict
heat release during fire on sites with deciduous holly litter [12].
Plant Response to Fire
The number of deciduous holly stems increased following prescribed
spring fires in loblolly-shortleaf pine stands. Fruit production
increased following fire, but since there was also a large increase in
fruit production on control plots, it was difficult to separate the
effects of fire from other effects [36].
Numerous deciduous holly seedlings occured on loblolly-shortleaf pine
plots that received two prescribed fire treatments [33]. Nine years
after wildfire in a loblolly pine community, deciduous holly did not
occur on plots that had undergone surface fire only. Plots where fire
crowning occurred were colonized by seedlings resulting from
animal-dispersed seed [27].
Immediate Effect of Fire
Deciduous holly is damaged, top-killed, or killed by light- or
moderate-severity fires [27,36]. After two prescribed fires in
loblolly-shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata) stands, deciduous holly
exhibited moderate mortality (up to 50 percent) after fires in cut-over
sawtimber-sized stands, and low mortality after fires in pulpwood-sized
timber [33]. High mortality (up to 100 percent) of stems less than 1
inch (2.54 cm) in diameter occurred after winter prescribed fire in a
slash pine plantation [44].
Post-fire Regeneration
Tall shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
Fire Ecology
Deciduous holly grows in a number of habitats, some of which may be
subject to fire. Some resistance to fire is conferred by the ability to
sprout after top-kill. Its main fire adaptation is the ability to
colonize disturbed soils through animal-dispersed seed [27].
Successional Status
More info for the term: hardwood
Facultative Seral Species
Deciduous holly is found in all successional stages. It colonizes areas
that have been disturbed by fire, and it is found in old-growth
bottomland hardwood forests [27,25].
Deciduous holly was abundant in the third and fourth years after removal
of a young green ash (Fraxinus pensylvanica)-American elm (Ulmus
americana) stand [6].
Regeneration Processes
Deciduous holly produces abundant, light seeds that are dispersed by
frugivores. In bottomland hardwood forests in Texas, first-year
seedling survivorship was good. Seedling survival increases with
distance from a conspecific or sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) adult.
Deciduous holly seedlings grow slowly, about 0.4 to 0.8 inch (1-2 cm)
per year [37].
Growth Form (according to Raunkiær Life-form classification)
More info for the term: phanerophyte
Life Form
Life History and Behavior
Deciduous holly flowers from March to May [4]. The fruits ripen in
September and persist until the following spring [13]. Seedling
emergence occurs before spring canopy development in early February, and
continues through May [37].

Management considerations
Deciduous holly is moderately tolerant to periodic flooding. Mature
trees can withstand flooding of up to 35 percent of the growing season.
Saplings have survived 105 days of flooding from March to July [11].
Near Alton, Illinois, deciduous holly maintained vigorous growth through
4 years of continuous flooding, but declined in the fifth year [9]. It
is more likely to survive in frequently flooded plots than is common
persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) or elms (Ulmus spp.) [37].
Deciduous holly can supress regeneration of timber species [10].
Control: Deciduous holly is susceptible to stem injection of 2,4-D and
glyphosate [10,22]. Deciduous holly seedling counts were highest on
bottomland hardwood sites that had been harvested and site-prepared by
herbicide stem injection of all stems larger than 2 inches (5 cm) d.b.h.
The lowest numbers of deciduous holly seedlings occurred on sites that
had been harvested and site-prepared by shearing [14]. When managing
for white-tailed deer, burning or slashing deciduous holly stems is
preferable to herbicide application; the sprouts resulting from those
treatments provide deer browse [10].
Deciduous holly is a good choice in plantings for wildlife; individual
plant fruit production is consistent from year to year, and a high
percentage (greater than 70 percent) of individuals bear fruit [28].
Increase: Production of deciduous holly browse was highest under medium-
thinning intensity in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) plantations [2].
Deciduous holly can be propagated by cuttings [42].
Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Importance to Livestock and Wildlife
birds, including eastern bluebirds, wild turkeys, and quail. They are
also eaten by white-tailed deer [10,13]. White-tailed deer and cattle
browse both leaves and twigs [2].
Other uses and values
Ilex decidua
Ilex decidua (Meadow Holly, also called "possumhaw", "deciduous holly" or "swamp holly") is a species of holly native to the United States.
Distinguishing features of this species are crenate leaf margins and fruiting pedicels that are 2–8 mm long.[1] Its "distinctive leaf shape... is less variable than other species of holly".[2] Leaves are obovate,[3] simple, alternating, deciduous, and grow to 2.5-7.5 cm long.[2]
Drupe fruits are red (or rarely yellow), shiny, and globose (spherical, or nearly so), with a diameter of 4–8 mm.[1][2] The pulp is bitter; they contain 3-5 seeds and mature in autumn.[2]
Slender twigs are glabrous and silvery gray, with "numerous spur shoots", pointed lateral buds, and acuminate scales.[2]
Bark is "light brown to gray" in color and may be smooth or "warty and roughened".[2]
Distribution and ecology[edit]
Ilex decidua is a common plant,[1] growing in the US in Alabama, Arkansas, Washington, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.[4]
It grows in the northern Mexico states of Chihuahua and Coahuila.[5]
It prefers land in floodplains and the margins of swamps or lakes, and grows at elevations up to about 360 m.[1][2] Other plant species with which possumhaw is associated include water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica), overcup oak (Quercus lyrata), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) and hackberry (Celtis spp.).[6]
The fruits attract songbirds.[3] Deer browse on young twigs.[2]
Human use[edit]
Because of the attractive "berries", the tree is used as a winter ornamental plant, and branches are collected for use as Christmas decorations.[2] The wood is not useful commercially because of the tree's small size.[2]

I have not seen much mention on here of late of the coming "dividend cliff". Unless oil prices begin rising sharply after 2017, the dividend will be falling rapidly. I estimate that oil prices will need to rise about $7 per year after 2017 to offset the increased chargeable costs that are in the prospectus. By 2022, I estimate that oil will need to be over $140 per barrel for BPT to pay its current dividend. By comparison, oil futures out in that timeframe are around $82 per barrel - so oil has to be over 70% higher than the current futures price for the dividend to be sustained at current levels. Has nothing to do with proven reserves being underestimated or whatnot - it is not about geology but about the prospectus. Anyone who is wildly bullish on oil out in the distant future would be better off just buying the $82 oil futures.
Sentiment: Sell
I concur with your numbers and actually think they are worse depending on the view of terminal value. I believe terminal value will be zero as production falls to the point where pressure in the pipelines cannot be kept up and the whole field is shut off by BP(They have no obligation to maintain field production).
In terms of field production, it has been and will continue to decline on a yearly basis. Straight from the prospectus:
The Prudhoe Bay field has been in production since 1977. Development of the field is largely completed and proved reserves are being depleted. Production of oil and condensate from the field has been declining during recent years and the decline is expected to continue. Royalty payments to the Trust are projected to cease after 2029.
The average well production rate was about 243 barrels per day in 2009, 211 barrels per day in 2010, 204 barrels per day in 2011, 197 barrels per day in 2012 and 188 barrels per day in 2013.
I ran a simple NPV using a 15% cost of capital and came up with 1.3 billion NPV. We are trading 2.1 billion market cap.
Production declines 4%/year
Costs increase 2%/year
WTI Increases 3%/year
Bashers forever have been trying to drop this stocks price. It keeps coming back and keeps increasing its dividend. They are embarrassing.
This is not a stock, this is a claim to cash flow generated by an asset that will eventually cease to exist.
What can I say, I'll post this:Company Profile for BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (BPT)
BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust provides oil and gas services. The Trust receives a per barrel percentage royalty of the average daily net production of oil and condensate per quarter from British Petroleum's working interests in the Prudhoe Bay Field on the North Slope of Alaska. The old wells are being sold while new ones drilled resulting in increased oil production for the "Trust". This is one of the main reasons why the stock is south of $100. If you don't belive me please call BPT and they will tell you the same thing...the only I'm trying to guess is the div next month.

good then go buy your 82$ futures. what's your interest here?
Sentiment: Hold
I'm not sure why people voted "thumbs down" here. It's not about charts, graphs, and whatever. It's just math. Good analysis.
value professor, haven't seen you post for a few years - anyhow, glad to see you're still around and I always value your post. Another that hasn't posted for a long time is farms1804
harv_mil. Thanks for even remembering - I used to frequent this board through 2005. Then I went to work somewhere I was not allowed to post. I would like to see some posts from some of those others you mentioned as well.
Sentiment: Sell
other wise posters of the past include mathanalyst, rbthompson, r/RBT, and rickythesk8r - they haven't posted for quite a while
I don't think you know what your talking about. The dividend has been going up because the trust has been selling old wells at the same time drilling new ones thereby keeping the output up.You have no specifics just general bs. i think your short position is taking you "off the cliff" !
Sentiment: Strong Buy
U don't know what you own and have not done your due diligence.
Sentiment: Hold
you are full of sheeeeet. Prospectus does not provide for drilling new wells or selling old wells. The trust wells and amount of oil granted by the trust is frozen by the trust agreement/contract !
you are full of it !

If you listen closely, even a week later, you can still hear him feeling sorry for himself and his teammates. It's the sad sound of the pathetic complainer - so absurd and entertaining that I'm thinking about downloading it onto my iPod so I can replay it now and then for giggles.
The NFC championship is today, and the Cowboys won't have any part of it. (I'm sure you're disconsolate.) Dallas linebacker Keith Brooking seemed pretty broken up about that after Minnesota mashed the 'Boys into a fine paste last Sunday on national TV.
Unable to help himself, Brooking added his own insult to the team's abject injury by bellyaching that Brad Childress, Brett Favre, and the oh-so-cruel Vikings ran the score up on the poor 'Pokes. And they did. (Rather than kick a field goal late in the game, Favre threw a touchdown pass with less than 2 minutes remaining to put Minnesota up, 34-3.) But Brooking still shouldn't have said anything. And he certainly shouldn't have called the Vikes "classless" and "disrespectful."

Litigation can be very tricky, tedious, extremely stressful and a huge unwanted financial commitment however, Krista guided me through the process even when the situations were mostly unfavorable. She was calm, collected and gave me the encouragement needed to stay strong and positive. I am aware that a substantial amount of hours went in fighting the case and there were countless deadlines that required a lot of paperwork, she stepped up to the plate each time delivering exceptional work. She put in the constant effort needed during the entire year my case was in progress.
Krista and Harmeet helped me winning each and every motion even at times when the odds didn't seems to be in our favor. I don't believe it was just a stroke of luck but I attribute it to 100% skills and emphasizing on my case strong points. I dealt with her on a regular basis and to know she had my best interest at heart was very comforting.
Her deep understanding of the Intellectual Property knowledge proved to be substantially beneficial as the final outcome was in our favor. I can't thank her enough for leading me through the difficult time with constant professionalism and significant advice at every turn. In the end, her aggressively smart negotiations helped finalize the case.
Posted by Rewa
She was professional to the core with quick understanding of the legal issues involved to save the client interest with an awesome follow up.

Krista Shoquist is a supportive attorney who is on top of everything. She would answer emails right away, and was there to help me through my case. I could always count on her and knew she would get the task done. She would go out of her way to make sure I was happy and really worked hard. She was much more than I ever imagined and I look up to Krista so much. I couldn't have gotten through my case feeling the way I do today without her. I feel blessed to have met Krista and will never forget her generosity and her great character. Thank you Krista!

Krista is efficient, trustworthy, and very considerate. As a writer, I am learning about copyright law, and Krista kindly walked me through questions in a thorough and detailed way. She was also very organized, detail oriented, and concise. Thank you, Krista!

Krista is an excellent Attorney and we are proud to have krista represent us on a Litigation. She has been very professional and have worked really hard and intelligently to achieve what we wanted. I wish her all the best and would love to recommend her to other companies too.
Posted by Colin
I work several jobs freelance as an independent contractor, and there arose a dispute over compensation for an open-ended gig. Krista was able to see me in a timely fashion and lent a sympathetic ear as I told her my story. Her advising me increased my confidence in subsequent negotiations with the disputed party, and she helped me draw up an agreement to present to that party. I cannot thank her enough, and I highly recommend her.

Krista Lee Shoquist provided expert advice, support and action in a First Amendment-related case. She prove to be highly knowledgeable on the subject, extremely diligent in her pursuit of a remedy, and thorough. Throughout the process, I was consistently impressed by her rapid follow-through and frequent updates on developments.
My particular case involved false and defamatory content posted on the Internet. Ms. Shoquist was expertly familiar with the law and provided a solid course of action. Throughout the process, she was very open to my input and her responsiveness was excellent. She demonstrated exactly the kind of qualities I most want to see in an attorney.

Krista has been assisting me in a complex political regulatory process. At all times she has kept me well informed and steered me in the best direction through the proceedings. All written responses to the investigation have been well thought out, accurate, and timely.
Posted by Alfonso Faustino
My father always told me, "Son, when you accumulate your financial wealth, you need to make sure you have a great doctor, CPA, and attorney."
Ms. Shoquist is a great attorney that my family and I retained, and she has been our family attorney for several years.
Here are some of the elements that make Ms. Shoquist a great attorney:
- She is ethical: Ms. Shoquist has demonstrated many times in the past a strong level of business and legal ethics by staying true to the letter of the law;
- She is creative and resourceful: Ms. Shoquist uses her legal creativity and resourcefulness to strategically and tactically create a win-win legal position for me and my family;
- She understands the business-end of the fact pattern: Ms. Shoquist's business knowledge coupled with her legal education and experiences increase the strength of my family's legal pursuits and legal interests against various individuals and corporations;
- She is sympathetic of her client's legal situation: Ms. Shoquist takes the time to explain the legal issues in terms that are understandable to me and my family;
- She has great follow-up and respects deadlines: Ms. Shoquist sends out information on a regular and consistent basis to keep my family and I in the loop; and, if she tells us that she will contact us on a particular day with an update, she does -- even if it is just to tell us that "there's no update at this time;" and,
- She nicely blends the use of her legal education to real-life legal applications: Ms. Shoquist understands the legal theories and blends them to their practical real-life applications by staying focused on the legal issues as they relate to the fact patterns of the case, which can get convoluted by red herrings and other non essential issues.
We are very fortunate to know Ms. Shoquist and have her in our gun-belt.
Posted by Claudia
Krista is a thoroughly accomplished, successful, and very likeable attorney. Her research for a case is exhaustive and serves the client very well for a successful outcome.

The Phillies clubhouse was empty when Domonic Brown entered Thursday. He dropped a red bag at his locker, packed his sunglasses into his case, and sat down. He had played eight innings, singled twice, scored another run, and made two outstanding defensive plays in left field. It was March and the results were meaningless. But Brown was living up to the hype.

Since 2007, Holidays Pub and Grill in Neenah, Wisconsin has entertained sports enthusiasts and families looking for a quality, upscale restaurant to enjoy their favorite sports events. In 2012, we opened a second location in Sheboygan, Wisconsin in an effort to expand our footprint and change sports viewing. Keep Reading...
What People Say About Holidays Pub
Great food and atmosphere!!! They have a wall of tvs, 8 or 9, that are always displaying a wide range of sporting events EXCEPT during packer games! they have very good food, salads are amazing, and the Mac and Cheese Burger is fabulous.
This is a great place for both Packer and Bear games. Big TV's and a Bears Den upstairs makes it friendly for all sports. Also a fun place for drinks on the patio in the summer. Large groups can be accommodated.
Jeanna Belau
The stadium seating in the lower dining area is perfect for watching games. Great pub food with a variety of options. Everything from burgers, to wraps and pizza, and a decent kids menu. I go back again and again and I always feel welcome.
Beer of the Month
Kona Brewing Fire Rock Pale AleFire Rock Pale Ale is crisp, refreshing "Hawaiian-style" pale ale. Its signature copper color results from the unique blend of specialty roasted malts. The pronounced citrus-floral hop aroma comes from the liberal amount of hops added to each brew.

McCardell was traded to the Chargers yesterday. He should be playing by then.
Thanks, I missed that. Jeez, my guys are bouncing a bit. Morgan went to the Cowboys apparently being reunited with one of his college teammates so hopefully that will help him. He's been below average, but not awful, at least with respect to my WR's. Walker had one great game, but aside from that I'm fortunate to see a TD a game out of my guys.
I'll tell you this much though. I had no plans on relying on San Diego quite so much as a team (LT, McCardell, Def) prior to the start of the season

The following is an excerpt from the conversation my son and I have on the drive home from daycare. Every. Single. Day.
ME: "So what did you do at school today?"
MY SON: "Lawnmower."ME: "That's right, buddy. There's a lawnmower sitting in that garage over there."
MY SON: "Lawnmower."ME: "I know, Dada sees it."
MY SON: "Lawnmower."ME: "Yep. Got it. Lawnmower."
MY SON: "Lawnmower."ME: "Seriously?"
MY SON: "Lawnmower."ME: "Dada wishes he was under a lawnmower right now."
And this generally continues for the next 10-15 minutes or until I swerve into a tree. All hyperbole aside, I'm pretty sure people on bath salts bring more to the table conversationally than my son does. If that sounds harsh, I challenge you to ride in the car with him right after he sees any item you could get at Lowe's or – and this is the worst-case scenario – a basketball goal. Because if that happens I'll give you one guess what you'll still be hearing about three hours later. (Hint: It's a basketball goal.)
And God help you if you drive past somebody cutting the grass near a basketball goal. You might as well just go ahead and put firecrackers in both your ears and light the fuses right there.
Look, I get it, he's 2. Most 2-year-olds aren't typically brilliant storytellers. But would it kill the kid to mix in a new word every now and again? You know, maybe something like "grass" or "dribble" or if he's feeling really observant, he could toss in a "Dada, what are those sparkly fizzing things in your ears?"
All my friends who don't have kids (I like to refer to them as my smart friends) think it's funny to say one of his trigger words on the way out the door just to get him fired up. Which would be funny if their car didn't end up starting and they were stuck sitting in my living room for the next two hours dealing with the subterfuge of their reckless actions. But the joke is on them, because a few years from now when they finally have kids of their own I'm going to offer to babysit for free and while Mom and Dad are out eating a fancy dinner and having a grand old time, Junior and I will be cozied up in front of the TV watching Eddie Murphy "Raw."
As for my current situation, I know it will eventually get better. And yes, I'm also fully aware how detached I am as a parent to be complaining about a child who's communicating and showing he's learning but OH MY GOSH NO NOT ANOTHER …

Excellent at diagnosis, presentation of options and completion of procedures.
Great doctor! Had left hip replacement surgery, and right knee torn minisicus. Recovered beautifully on both occasions, and would recommend him highly!
Had both knees replaced over a two year period.Dr Mamone showed absolute professionalism and personal investment in me as his patient.He followed up after the surgery and gave me a lot of very good advise as to my recovery.I would recommend him to anyone who needs this kind of surgery.
Dr. Mamone is an excellent surgeon who cares about each patient. He explains everything very well and makes sure you understand before he proceeds with surgery. I can't say enough about him and recommend him to everyone who needs orthopedic surgery
I can understand each review posted here as I have been a patient of his for a number of months now. Yes - he can come across as self absorbed. Yes - he does seem to genuinely care. He is incredibly talented at his specialty.
My appointment was later than scheduled but I was kept informed of the delay. After meeting with him I understood. He spends as much time with a client as necessary to answer questions etc. It was appreciated.
Dr. Mamone was verbally combative in his interaction with me, curt, rude and seemed angry at someone or something. His office assistant was not much better. From Dr. Mamone's discussions with me it was obvious he had not read my medical chart. I am still puzzled by his interaction with me. I did not know him or met him before this appointment. The discussion was basically one way, his. Asked me what is your problem, and I told him that I was referred to him by my primary care physician for a second opinion before a recommended third surgery by an Orthopedic Surgeon. It went downhill from there. Waited six months to see him -what a waste for him and me. One of the worst, if not worst medical visits I have ever experienced.
Dr. Mamone is an awesome doctor. He performed a meniscus repair and chondroplasty to my knee which was previously injury playing sports. I don't really understand the negative reviews on here, I think he is very professional and treated me very well. I had been to 3 other orthopedic surgeons before I found him and he is the only one that I trusted to touch my knee! Before the procedure, he drew an illustration of my knee and explained in detail what the problem was. My husband injured his knee a year ago running sprints and is now a patient of Dr. Mamone and will have surgery at the end of this month. We both have complete trust in his ability!
I was referred this this office by Roseville Urgent Care for a fractured right foot. The office Receptionist declined to give me an appointment saying the doctors in the office do NOT treat this kind of injury. YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!!!! I was referred by Sutter Urgent Care... Someone doesn't know their job! Front office staff reflect the doctors who hired them!
I've never met a more caring doctor. He goes to every length to fix whatever is wrong & has a great sense of humor
Dr. Mamone is a specialist and a professional. His experience qualifies him for the most difficult procedures. I would highly recommend Dr. Mamone to anyone in need of excellent surgical care.

Mackintosh House information
Attached to the Hunterian Art Gallery , this is a reconstruction of the first home that Charles Rennie Mackintosh bought with his wife, noted designer/artist Margaret Macdonald. It's fair to say that interior decoration was one of their strong points; Mackintosh House is startling even today. The house is scheduled to become part of the new museum at Kelvin Hall , but probably not until 2020.
The quiet elegance of the hall and dining room on the ground floor give way to a stunning drawing room. There's something otherworldly about the very mannered style of the beaten silver panels, the long-backed chairs and the surface decorations echoing Celtic manuscript illuminations. You wouldn't have wanted to be the guest that spilled a glass of red on this carpet. Visits are by guided tour on the half hour.

Some NFL teams supremely flaunt their colors by having captivating and riveting uniforms that catch the eye of the fans, which in turn can sometimes lead to an acquisition of an enormous fan base.
Certain uniforms are more recognizable, some more fashionable, and some are just downright putrid. This list will rank them from worst to first. However, don't be afraid to share your opinions and tell me why I'm wrong.

Check this out...the major problem with placing stents in arteries is the endothelial hyperplasia..chronic inflammation that happens from a feign object in the artery..that causes the inside lining of the artery to "thicken" and thus occlude the vessel again. Cardiac physiology is different than peripheral physiology, therefore, cardiologist can stent very small vesses. If you stent anything in a leg say, that is less than 5 mm in dia..the restenosis rate approaches 100% in 2-3 years.Point being..this new company is working on endovasular appliances that retard endothelial proliferation...That could be the most revolutionaly thing since the stent itself. There are some other researches and everything has failed so far...including low dose radioactive stents! Don't get your hopes up yet..but if they get it done...It will be huge.
Ok..now I am over my defessive stage...what are the "discrediting" things that concern you...I will answer anything you ask as completely as I can..I will not be totally unbiased, as there are some things that I like to use and others I refuse to use. And If that does not satify you..research the last name for referrences in the angio / interventional literature.
nope...am a physician..."out there"..What puzzles me..is that there are so many "people in the know" who have never placedany of these things in anyones body who are so knowledgable. What do you want to know? I am totally candid and am just statingwhat I am familiar with. I have told everyone that I am not a cardiologist...and that is what this board is pre-occupied with.Just making observations from the Radiology side and maybe that is why the assumptions from the analysts about BSX are notcorrect...because they are making them from a different context. BSX is a radiology company...
With all due respect, Buzzmarr, but I do not believe you're a physician. You've said a few too many discrediting things that leads me to make this observation. Please don't debate this and waste time on this board; i.e., if you are, you are, and nothing more needs to be said. If you're not, I just wanted to bring it to your and others attention before you get a little too far "out there".
Isn't CES (Cordis Endovascular Systems) also selling into this market? If so, how are they doing relative to Target, their main competitor. Although they are now part of JnJ, I thought they were making some inroads (at least prior to the merger). Any thoughts?
This is interesting..Target actually started as a co that "primarily" has "targeted" LOL the Neurorads for theirinterventions in the brain. That is why they started as such LONG catheters. Then everyone started using them as a coax system to get intovery small vessels...peripheral and cardiologists. Cordis has a HUGE following in Europe..it is the main corp. When I used tohelp at instructional courses that many Europeans attended..they were mainly familiar with Cordis. In the US, Target seems tohave won the battle (from the RADIOLOGY perspective). I know the Neurorads like Target over the Cordis product. Cordis is cheaperprice wise.

Eskinder Nega
|Eskinder Nega
|c. 1968
|Years active
|Serkalem Fasil
|Nafkot (son), born 2005
|PEN/Barbara Goldsmith Freedom to Write Award ; Human Rights Watch Hellmann-Hammett Award, 2012
Eskinder Nega (born c. 1968[1]) is an Ethiopian journalist and blogger who has been jailed seven times by the government of Meles Zenawi, including convictions for treason and terrorism.[2] He received the PEN/Barbara Goldsmith Freedom to Write Award in May 2012,[2] and Amnesty International designated him a prisoner of conscience.[1]
On 2014 Eskinder Nega was awarded the Golden Pen Award of Freedom.[3][4]
Eskinder attended high school and college in the U.S., returning to Ethiopia in 1991.[5] He founded his first newspaper, Ethiopis, in 1993, but soon found himself in conflict with the government of Meles Zenawi and was forced to close.[6]
2005 treason conviction[edit]
As editor of the newspaper Satenaw, Eskinder was arrested on 28 November 2005 following demonstrations against the results of the Ethiopian general election on 15 May 2005, which saw Meles stay in power but were alleged to be fraudulent. Eskinder was charged with the capital offenses of treason, "outrages against the Constitution" and "incitement to armed conspiracy".[1] Amnesty International designated him a prisoner of conscience, "detained solely for exercising his right to freedom of expression", and called for his immediate release. The group also protested the "poor and unsanitary" conditions of his detention at Karchele prison.[1]
Eskinder was found guilty and served seventeen months' imprisonment before being released by presidential pardon at the end of 2007.[7] Eskinder's wife, journalist Serkalem Fasil, was also detained for seventeen months, giving birth to their son Nafkot while still imprisoned.[8]
Following the conviction, Eskinder lost his license to practice journalism,[6] and his newspaper was closed by authorities in 2007.[5] He nonetheless continued to publish online.[5]
2012 terrorism conviction[edit]
Eskinder was arrested again on 14 September 2011 after publishing a column that criticized both the Ethiopian government's detainment of journalists as suspected terrorists and its arrest of Ethiopian actor and activist Debebe Eshetu.[2] Ethiopian anti-terrorism legislation prohibits "any reporting deemed to 'encourage' or 'provide moral support' to groups and causes the government deems 'terrorists'.[6] According to BBC News, these same laws "criminalise commentary that is critical of the government",[2] and Amnesty International accused the government of "using counter-terrorism measures to stifle dissent".[7]
Along with four politicians arrested the same day, Eskinder was accused of involvement in Ginbot 7, a political party recently added to Ethiopia's list of terrorist organizations.[7] In November, he and his co-defendants were accused by state media of being "spies for foreign forces".[6] Eskinder was found guilty of terrorism charges on 23 January 2012. As of May 2012[update] he is awaiting sentencing, in which he could face the death penalty.[6]
Eskinder's trial drew international attention, with twenty IPI World Press Freedom Heroes—including Pap Saine, Fred M'membe, Gwen Lister, and Kenneth Best—co-signing a letter to Meles on 23 April, stating their "extremely strong condemnation of the Ethiopian government's decision to jail journalist Eskinder Nega".[9] The U.S.-based Committee to Protect Journalists described the trial as "an affront to justice" and the accusations as "politicized charges used by the government to intimidate journalists and chill news-gathering activities".[10] Human Rights Watch called on the Ethiopian government to release Eskinder and the imprisoned journalists, stating, "The detention of Debebe Eshetu, Eskinder Nega, and Andualem Aragie is just the latest reminder that it is very dangerous to criticize the government in Ethiopia."[11]
In a ceremony on 1 May 2012, Eskinder was announced as the winner of PEN America's PEN/Barbara Goldsmith Freedom to Write Award. The group's president described him as "that bravest and most admirable of writers, one who picked up his pen to write things that he knew would surely put him at grave risk".[6] His wife Serkalem accepted the award on his behalf, stating "I accept this award on behalf of Eskinder Nega at a time when freedom of expression and press freedom are at the lowest in Ethiopia ... If Eskinder were standing here, he'd accept this award, not just as a personal honour, but on behalf of all Ethiopian journalists who toil under withering conditions today".[2]
On 4 May, Temesgen Desalegn, editor of the Ethiopian newspaper Feteh, was fined by the court for publishing a statement from Eskinder's trial in which he stated his innocence and criticized the proceedings.[12]
In response to a petition filed by Freedom Now, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found the detention of Mr. Nega to be a violation of international law. In calling for Mr. Nega's immediate release, the Working Group held that the government violated his right to freedom of expression and failed to observe minimum international due process standards.[13]

Accidents Happen: How Baby Proofing Helps Control ThemDiana Stone
When Bella was under a year old, I realized the massive amount of baby proofing that we thought we had to do was actually pretty minimal. We needed to keep the floor clear of things she could choke on, put some rubber covers on the edges of sharp things, and the most importantly…
baby gates.
At first I didn't really think we needed these. She was with me all the time, she was still crawling and walking on and off, and she couldn't reach anything in most of the rooms.
However, my husband installed a baby gate at the entrance of our apartment's kitchen. He figured when he left to go to training for a few months, it would be a good idea to have her still in sight but not able to get into the kitchen area.
One night as I went to cook, I realized there was no way I could do it and watch her at the same time, all by myself. So I hooked up the attached gate, and there she sat. Wailing. Screaming. Holding onto it like I had put her in baby jail. I cooked and thought about whether the gate was really necessary.
Then the hot pan dropped as I turned and bumped the handle. It clattered onto the floor and my mind raced to all the times she'd been underfoot or crawling around. What if she'd been underfoot that night and it had hit her?
There are times we get so casual with our kid's behavior and lack of activities gone wrong, we get so comfortable in our own parenting skills, that we forget an accident is called just that for a reason – it's unplanned and unforeseen. There isn't any way to prevent all of them, but looking back, dropped hot pans was something I should have thought through beforehand. Luckily, the gate was up.
We still use them, and Bella is 3 now. They come in handy for blocking rooms she doesn't need to be in (like the one with the cat food she's obsessed with playing in), and to keep her in areas when we're working on things that might hurt her if she came out (like replacing a fan or vent). It allows us to still see and interact with her, and still know that she's at a safe distance in a safe area.
We try to think through big "what if's" now, because we can't catch it all. And sometimes accidents and bumps are a part of life. She has to have the freedom to live and be without lots of rules or safety items all over the place, but when it comes to things that could serious damage, we can prevent it and we take those measures.
