Assessing stability and change of four performance measures: a longitudinal study evaluating outcome following total hip and knee arthroplasty
Physical performance measures play an important role in the measurement of outcome in patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty. However, many of the commonly used measures lack information on their psychometric properties in this population. The purposes of this study were to examine the reliability and sensitivity to change of the six minute walk test (6MWT), timed up and go test (TUG), stair measure (ST), and a fast self-paced walk test (SPWT) in patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA) who subsequently underwent total joint arthroplasty.
A sample of convenience of 150 eligible patients, part of an ongoing, larger observational study, was selected. This included 69 subjects who had a diagnosis of hip OA and 81 diagnosed with knee OA with an overall mean age of 63.7 ± 10.7 years. Test-retest reliability, using Shrout and Fleiss Type 2,1 intraclass correlations (ICCs), was assessed preoperatively in a sub-sample of 21 patients at 3 time points during the waiting period prior to surgery. Error associated with the measures' scores and the minimal detectable change at the 90% confidence level was determined. A construct validation process was applied to evaluate the measures' abilities to detect deterioration and improvement at two different time points post-operatively. The standardized response mean (SRM) was used to quantify change for all measures for the two change intervals. Bootstrapping was used to estimate the 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the SRMs.
The ICCs (95% CI) were as follows: 6MWT 0.94 (0.88,0.98), TUG 0.75 (0.51, 0.89), ST 0.90 (0.79, 0.96), and the SPWT 0.91 (0.81, 0.97). Standardized response means varied from .79 to 1.98, being greatest for the ST and 6MWT over the studied time intervals.
The test-retest estimates of the 6MWT, ST, and the SPWT met the requisite standards for making decisions at the individual patient level. All measures were responsive to detecting deterioration and improvement in the early postoperative period.
Osteoarthritis, the most common reason for total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA), accounts for more difficulty with climbing stairs and walking than any other disease
Information about customary or normal values often exists for performances measures, however, information concerning sensitivity to change and clinically important change are rarely available
A few studies have examined the responsiveness of the 6MWT and STs in patients following arthroplasty. Kreibich et al
Responsiveness statistics such as the standardized response mean (SRM) and effect size (ES) are important for making relative comparisons between measures. However, clinicians still require estimates to quantify the error in patients' scores and to determine if change has truly occurred. In the absence of population specific benchmarks, clinicians and researchers apply the results available from other populations. For example, Mahon et al
The importance of determining THA and TKA population specific benchmarks is further underlined when one considers the growing number of North Americans requiring total joint arthroplasty
The sample consisted of patients with a diagnosis of OA who were scheduled to undergo primary, unilateral THA or TKA and was part of a larger, observational, longitudinal study. A sample of convenience was chosen and included one hundred fifty consecutive, eligible patients (69 hips, 81 knees) investigated over the one-year period, November 2001 to 2002. Eligibility criteria included the following: diagnosis of OA, scheduled for primary total joint arthroplasty; sufficient language skills to communicate in written and spoken English; and absence of neurological, cardiac, psychiatric disorders or other medical conditions that would significantly compromise physical function. Patients were excluded if they were scheduled for revision, bilateral or staged arthroplasties. All of the surgeries took place at a specialized, orthopaedic tertiary care hospital in Toronto.
The characteristics of the patients with respect to age, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) are reported in Table

Outcome measures
As noted earlier, patients completed four timed performance measures; the fast SPWT, TUG, ST, and 6MWT, at each assessment point. Time was measured on a stopwatch to the nearest 1/100 of a second. The order of testing was as follows: SPWT, TUG, ST, and 6MWT with a 10 minute rest between the ST and 6MWT. Standardized guidelines for performing the SPWT, TUG, and ST have been reported previously for a similar patient population
Study design
As noted previously, the data for this study represent a subset from a larger ongoing study that examines recovery profiles using a number of self-report and physical performance measures. The study has two arms, in Phase 1 patients are recruited from the caseload of two orthopaedic surgeons with high volumes and long waiting lists to examine the impact of waiting time on recovery profiles. In phase 2, patients are recruited from all of the orthopaedic surgeons' lists at their preoperative visit to the hospital's standardized patient orientation program, which is scheduled one to two weeks prior to surgery. There are no differences in the postoperative follow-up for both of the Phases and all patients receive standardized treatment, following either a primary total hip or knee care pathway. To provide an accurate model of change over time, patients' follow-up measurements are scheduled at different intervals. The format is that of an observational repeated measures' design (Figure

Study Design
Study Design
Test-retest reliability was assessed preoperatively in a sub-sample of 21 patients from Phase 1. These 21 patients represented individuals who had progressed to surgery and follow-up by the time of this analysis. Data from patients' initial consultations with the surgeon, an intermediate assessment, and then again at patients' preoperative orientation visits contributed to the reliability analysis. Although the median interval between the first and second assessments was 91 days (1st, 3rd quartiles: 72, 133 days) and between the first and third assessments was 178 days (1st, 3rd quartiles: 140, 204 days), there is evidence to suggest that the amount of change in function while on the waiting list is minimal
It is important when assessing responsiveness that a research design be employed in a period where change is expected. Based on the results of prior work
Descriptive statistics including the mean, standard deviation, and quartiles were applied to summarize the data. Shrout and Fleiss Type 2,1 intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used to describe the measures' test-retest reliabilities
The standardized response mean (SRM) was used to quantify change

This study has provided information concerning the measurement properties of four performance measures used to complement information concerning lower extremity functional status in patients with advanced OA undergoing THA or TKA. The test-retest reliability component of this study was conducted over a median interval of 178 days, which is a longer period than would typically be chosen to assess stability. This extended reassessment interval was chosen to accommodate the fact that random measurement error is often time dependent, and in practice, the period between clinical visits is often greater than several months
It is important to remember that the reliability of a measure intended for individual patient application must be greater than the reliability of a measure designed for group use
In reviewing the mean and quartile scores of the performance measures preoperatively (Table
To be useful in clinical practice, the scores obtained on outcome measures must have meaning to clinicians. In this study, the SEM was used to identify the error associated with a patient's reported score and to estimate the value of MDC90. Because the SEM is reported in scale points, it enhances the interpretability of a patient's score and change score. To the authors' knowledge this is the first study to provide estimates for MDC90 for each of the four physical performance measures in the hip/knee end stage OA-arthroplasty population. These benchmarks will assist clinicians to more effectively monitor change in these types of patients.
Using a different methodology, Redelmeier et al
Many studies assessing change have focused on improvement only; the current investigation assessed deterioration and improvement
This parallels the findings in the study by Parent et al
In addition to providing information concerning the psychometric properties of the performance measures, our results also offer insights into the clinical application of these measures. The TUG was originally developed to easily evaluate the risk of falls using balance and basic functional mobility
In considering the SPWT and the 6MWT, it is not surprising that the 6MWT demonstrated greater responsiveness in this study, as it was measured over a longer distance and duration. Unlike the SPWT, which in this study was used to determine fast walking speed, the 6MWT has both speed and endurance components. However, as apparent in Table
This study has several limitations. As apparent in the tables, different numbers of patients were assessed at postoperative assessment one and two. This is partially a reflection of the study design, as mentioned earlier, not all patients were assessed at the same time points due to the goals of the larger ongoing observational study. However, some patients were also missed at both time points due to unexpected changes in appointments without communication to the investigators. Referral bias might also be a potential concern due to the nature of the institution being a specialized tertiary care facility. This must be balanced against the fact that it is one of the largest joint arthroplasty centers in Canada and draws from a wide catchment area. Considering the higher preoperative function of the patients in this sample, it will be important to replicate the current study's findings in different settings with other samples of arthroplasty patients. In addition, as responsiveness is a highly contextualized attribute
This study has examined selected psychometric properties in four commonly used performance measures to assess change in the end-stage OA-arthroplasty population. The test-retest reliability estimates of the SPWT, ST and 6MWT met the requisite standards for making decisions at the individual patient level. All of the measures were responsive to detecting deterioration and improvement in the early postoperative time period following arthroplasty. The time period of administration and the patient's preoperative level of disability can serve as useful guides for clinicians faced with the decision of choosing the most informative measures. Estimates of MDC90 have been reported for each of the performance measures to assist clinicians in assessing change.

Original Art Stories: Jerry Robinson's Art Stash
The Superman #14 cover must surely be one of the earliest Superman covers to come onto the open market for decades. The amount of times that this Fred Ray image, originally appearing in January/February 1942, has been swiped is just too much to count. It must rank up there with Kirby's iconic Fantastic Four #1 cover for swiping, although John Byrne has lifted the amount of swipes on the latter to new levels. But what would you do if you had a chance to own it? Place it in a museum, on display, where it belongs. Throw out the Lichtenstein copies, here's a chance to own the real thing, a genuine memory of America during the early days of World War II and the patriotism that was on show back then – life was simpler and the enemies more clearly defined.
Jerry hasn't stopped there. He's also decided to part with one of own Detective Comics covers. Dating from November 1942, the description reads, "Known as the double-guns Joker cover, it is one of the greatest Golden Age superhero covers of all time." What makes both of these covers even more desirable is the utter lack of such artifacts from the Golden Era of comic books. DC Comics would routinely destroy such art, either by simply throwing pages and covers into the bins, cutting them up or burning them. There is precious little of such art that now survives, and thankfully Jerry himself will benefit from the massive amount of money that'll come in from the sales of these covers, as it should be. For once it won't be a case of an artist saying, "You know, I never got that art back," and looking on wistfully as some dealer or collector then makes a six figure sum from the sale. If anyone should benefit it should be the artist, and not the people who stole the art along the way. As for what it's really worth, well the original art for Batman #11 was sold at auction back in 2005, and that netted around $195,000. I'd be stunned if these two didn't go well past that amount.
Hopefully there is a museum somewhere that is looking at these pieces and can appreciate both their age and cultural heritage and make a serious run at both covers. They should be preserved, framed and on display for the entire world to see. I'd hate to think that they'll vanish into a private collection where they won't be seen for decades more to come.
And just for fun, here's a few more pieces of art from the pen of Jerry Robinson.

I think it should be remembered that, at that time, most artists did not want their art back - they had nowhere to store it and it had no monetary value, so they just weren't interested in it.
Having therfore willingly relinquished the art to the hands of editors to do with as they pleased - whether it be giving pages to readers or simply throwing it away - they really don't have much to complain about as to the way things turned out.
If I throw an old vase out, and the binman rescues it from the garbage - only to be one day offered £20,000 for it by an antique collector - bad luck 'though it may be, I'm really not entitled to a share of the money just because I once owned it. This would also apply to items I had produced myself. "I only threw it out/gave it away/sold it for a pittance because I didn't know it would be worth anything" is no basis for a claim against someone who benefits from something acquiring a value at a later date.
Having said that, yes, it IS nice that Jerry himself will benefit from the sale of the pages - but that's only fitting as he is the owner,(the fact that he produced them is almost superfluous) and has been for a long time.
Nice site you have.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - June 29, 1994, New Braunfels, Texas Red Stocking Revue helpers earn thanks Dear Editor, An open letter to the people of New Braunfels and surrounding areas. As chairpersons of the recently staged production of the Community Service Center's Red Stocking Revue, Melaney and I would like to thank all who gave of their time, talents and energies to make this year's show such a huge success. It would be impossible to list each individual and their contributions to this success, but we have known for some time that this community will always respond, if the cause is just, and will help those of our community who are less fortunate than themselves. We repeatedly witnessed this caring and willingness to help throughout the past year! Whenever we needed something all we had to do was ask and it was provided. This included everything from material to surround the band stand to providing a Porta-Potti for the cast and crew behind the Civic Center. We commend the citizens and businesses who so willingly responded to our appeals for help. There are, however, two organizations in particular whom we must publicly thank and commend for their public service in support of this charity fund raiser. The Herald-Zeitung and KGNB/KNBT Radio have gone out of their way to publicize the shows. They have given us publicity from the Stammtisch to front page articles and 30 second spots to live broadcast interviews. This coverage began at our organizing committee meeting and continued till the final show! It is sincerely appreciated by all of us who have worked so hard to make it a success Our community is truly blessed! We live in a beautiful area that is filled to the brim with caring people. What more could one ask for! It has been our privilege to serve as chairpersons for the 1994 edition of the Revue. We have made new, and renewed old, friendships and firmly believe that what cannot be accomplished by a few, is easily done when many join and work together to reach a common goal. We are already looking forward to the June 1996 production! Jim and Melaney Beath General Chairpersons, Red Stocking Revue Herald-Zftitung thanked for coverage Dear Editor, Please accept my appreciation for the excellent coverage given by the Herald-Zeitung for the Red Stocking Revue. Your willingness to help us get the word out about our show insured its success. The many volunteers' efforts would have been in vain without the community being informed of this worthy cause. Many thanks to you and your staff for your support. Ruth Pharis Publicity Chair, Red Stocking Revue Free-spending Congress needs to be brought under control Dear Editor, I think we need to be reminded frequently just who the framers of our Constitution gave the real power to control this country, the President or the Congress The President has no authority to spend one thin dime the Congress has not appropriated The President has no authority to change the national debt ceiling. The Congress has established oversight committees for every administrative agency the President controls If Congress does not like what these agencies do they can cut their budgets. The President has no authority to set tax rates. That's Congress' duty. The President has no authority to borrow money. And last but not least, the Congress has override power over the President's veto. In a recent letter to the editor, Mr. Lendon E. Gilpin states that Presidents Reagan and Bush increased the national debt by 300 percent and they ''slashed income taxes for the wealthiest people in this country and then borrowed that lost revenue back from them at 9 1/2 percent, interest in the form of $10,000 treasury bills." No President has this kind of power! !! It's the Congress that has control over these functions and who has controlled Congress for the greater part of the Reagan/Bush period? It's the Congress that has really screwed up this country. Look at the $4 trillion the Congress has appropriated for welfare. Has it solved the problem? Just go to Chicago and look at the vast rows of hi-rise apartments built for the poor. Chain link fencing had to be installed top to bottom because they were throwing their garbage off the balconies into the courtyard below. Now they want to tear these buildings down and move these people into single dwellings. Clinton wants to spend another $9.5 billion on welfare before ''ending welfare as we know it." The only problem is that after two years they go on the government's payroll. It would be funny if it was not so stupid. I doubt Congress will go for this. I encourage everyone who wants to bring our government back to fiscal responsibility and put a stop to this wild spending to write to their con-gressperson. William M. Abbott Jr. New Braunfels Why all the coverage off OJ. Simpson? Dear Editor, After reading three articles in the same issue of the Zeitung on the O. J. Simpson Odyssey and a fourth followup article a few days later, I was curious as to the reason the Herald-Zeitung editor changed the policy of excluding full coverage of anything but local news. Was this California event so spectacular that the Herald-Zeitung found it necessary to write three articles to justify more than a "short-column" mention of such an event? Were there any circumstances in the event that actually justified the coverage? All the basic ingredients surrounding the "doublemurders" happen every day all over the nation including here in Comal County. What made this one so spectacular? It has to be the present absolute national adoration and worship that the USA now lavishes on all the local and national sports events and especially their participants These participants (athletes) are the recipients of outrageous unbelievable annual salaries, not including the endorsement perks of clothing and food brand products These athletes attract sexual adoration from the most desirable Hollywood personages. These athletes are the most envied and publicized people in the nation. Our children talk about, read about them, constantly watch them, idolize them to the point of deification. Even our churches must now offer a successful program (along with our universities) attract any significant attendance by our youth. Can one of these "gods" be guilty of ANY immorality, much less two common bloody murders? I don't think so! The writers of two Herald-Zeitung articles may not have the correct genes to understand this, but why else would many wimyn (politically correct), spend one half of their waking hours using body-building gyms and equipment to emulate the muscle-bound image of their male counterpart? Why did the International Olympic Committee have to change their rules and allow equal time and recognition for every male-oriented-sports-event? Why are the rales that once stated a fireman must be able to pick up and carry a 200 pound body down a 70 foot ladder now ignored? Because a fireman is now a fire person and a policeman is now a policeperson? How about the constitutional ambiguity that says ''all men are created equal?" Is this true? Why does the legal statute read that "facilities must be built for battered or abused women"? If you think it's bad now, wimyn, wait until our promiscuous president takes all the guns away! Was Nicole Simpson's life equal to O. J. Simpson's life? Was Goldman's life equal to super-star Simpson's? Maybe we should convince the U.S. Senator from California, Diane Fein-stein, to now federally ban all knives in that state and in the nation. Maybe she could also arrange to ban all those drunken cars and drag addicted cars that weave all over the national highways and cause more deaths than any other singular statistic. If this article makes you mad, maybe you should remember in November. If not, just convince yourself that it was the new media's fault that the LA. police record show O. J. Simpson assaulted his wife IO times and it was the news media's fault that O. J. left his first wife while she was pregnant for this woman who didn't survive the tenth assault! Gain your fortune and lifestyle by the news media hype, lose it the same way, for if I recall correctly,there are ll men on a football team, win or lose! Jim D. Mooney New Braunfels Ctirlstians need to get involved In politics Dear Edkor, Your editorial, "The Fine Line Between Religion and Politics" (June 14, 1994), leaves something to be desired. You seem to believe that "Christians" shouldn't try to impose their moral values on anyone and at the same time should take part in politics. Surely, the political arena is the place that ideas, opinions, programs and policies are presented to the public. I can think of a few places where some good "Christian" moral ethics would do more to advance our society than our political arena. Besides, how does one leave their beliefs behind? Should abortionists NOT bring their belief into the political arena? Where has it been proposed that they leave their beliefs behind? The Christians were not the ones that brought such subjects to the public's attentiop, as we were somewhat content to leave them alone until someone forced a change on us h is my understanding that Founding I Fathers included the term, "shall make no laws respecting the establishment of | a religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." had in mind banning the adoption of a particular church, i e Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal etc. as j the church sponsored by the nation. They obviously didn't mean to exclude God, since they invoke the "Nature's j God" and endowed by their "Creator" and appeal to the "Supreme Judge of | the World." The first of the facts enumerated, against the king, by the signers to the Declaration of Independence was: "[the King] has refused his assent to laws, the moat wholesome and necessary for the public good " Wholesome by definition STRAIGHTS St BLENDS 1.75U Wild Turkey 101*................25.49 1.7511 Jack Daniels Or 80*...... 2129 1.75U Geo.

How does one promote morals, religion, and prosperity by forbidding their exercise?

I do not see my religion as "propagating, in the name of Jesus, devilish acts, bloody wars, awful persecutions, hate crimes, and political chaos."

Well-Set: China Worthy of Marie Antoinette
Medard de Noblat china is meticulously handpainted, but unfussy in the most sumptuous of ways.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
$270 per five-piece place setting, devinecorp.net.
In an age when life moves at light speed, Medard de Noblat's Corail, or china, is like a soothing moment of clarity. Objects like these take time to create. Those fabulous gilt edges are all handpainted in Limoges, the way such porcelain has been produced since the days of Marie Antoinette. Just a few key element—undulating edges, understated ribbing—give these plates all the delicacy of a scallop shell. You can't put them in the dishwasher, but they'll make even meatloaf and mashed potatoes feel like an event. The extra care they require is so worth it. Isn't elevating the everyday the truest form of luxury?

About Us
My name is Terri and I'm the creator of MakingFriends.com. As a child, I was a strange combination of overachieving first-born and creative rebel. I was hard working and industrious but hated structure and control.
Not only did I color inside the lines but all my strokes went in the same direction with uniform pressure and perfect coverage. Yep, I filled my Disney coloring book with beautifully colored purple-faced Cinderella's and lime green Dumbos.
As I got older, I spent a lot of time in Mom's kitchen — but not cooking. Salt dough, candle making and batik projects littered and stained her counter tops. (Good thing Mom didn't like to cook either.)
The more time I spent on craft projects, the less time I spent on school projects. As an overachiever, I continued getting "A"s but hated every minute of it. Nothing we learned in school was interesting. Of course, this was "back-in-day". We had no computer graphics or web design classes.
Started as a learning experience in 1997, MakingFriends.com has been a meandering journey that mirrors the last 12 years of my life. The web site just evolved based on what I felt like doing at the time. I guess it has been more of a frolic than a journey. Fortunately, my overachieving side came along for the ride and a dabble with new skills became a successful business.
These days, I'm not coloring any more (and still not cooking) but I continue to make things including web sites. Take a browse around my other sites:
No one likes to frolic alone and these are some of the wonderful people who have joined me along the way. Without their help and support this would have been a very boring adventure.
My husband, Jim, is not only my partner in life but also in business.
He is very good at managing the day-to-day details of our house and our business. Under his watchful eye, no receipt goes unposted, no invoice goes unpaid and no bed goes unmade. As a child, Jim didn't color much but he always, always colored inside the lines. Black is his favorite color.
She may be quiet, but Ally can rock out to Ozzy with the rest of the metal heads. When she's not banging her head, Ally is making kits for us and getting your orders ready to ship. When she's not doing that, she's at school, studying hard or playing with her rats.
Ellen is our quality control manager. She makes sure that your orders arrive without mistakes. Ellen is also our resident extrovert and chatter box. You never know what her hair color will be. She changes it on a monthly basis.
If you ever stop by our shop on a Tuesday, you'll be treated to country music. Lauren likes to two-step while she makes Badge in a Bag kits and Tuesday is the day she picks the music and country really gets her moving. You'd be amazed at how fast those kits fill the shelf.
Anisha might be one of the "new girls" but she aced the position right away. Smart and creative, she is someone who always steps up and does a great job. Her background in graphic design will be a big help when the time comes to design new patches.
Adrianna is our newest associate. She's quiet, shy and demure… or is she? Born in Brazil, we expect she knows how to party but is keeping it a secret. For now, she proven to be a good kit maker. We'll keep you posted about the other.

"With increased subscribers and usage, the costs associated with national roaming have declined, but not vanished. There are still real costs incurred in providing the national roaming facility," TRAI said
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Monday announced reduction in the national mobile phone roaming charges, but said there will be no free national roaming as of now.
The sectoral regulator has also come out with conditional free national roaming plans, a move that will bring down cellphone roaming charges.
The changes will come into effect from next month.
"TRAI has reduced ceilings for national roaming calls and SMS and instituted a new regime for providing flexibility to telecom service providers to customise tariffs for national roamers through STVs (Special Tariff Vouchers) and Combo Vouchers," the regulator said in a statement.
It has also mandated two types of free national roaming plans to be provided by all telecom service providers. These changes will come into effect from 1 July 2013, it added.
"With increased subscribers and usage, the costs associated with national roaming have declined, but not vanished. There are still real costs incurred in providing the national roaming facility.
"Mandating a fully free roaming regime is simply not practicable at this juncture. Compelling a transition to a fully free national roaming regime would result in telecom service providers not being able to recover their costs from roamers," the regulator said.
In turn, telecom service providers would pass these costs on to all consumers (predominantly non-roamers) through higher tariffs, it added.
The ceiling tariffs prescribed by TRAI in 2007 were Rs1.40 per minute for outgoing local calls and Rs2.40 per minute for outgoing STD calls while on national roaming. These ceilings have been reduced to Re1 per minute and Rs1.50 per minute, respectively, it said.
Similarly, the ceiling tariffs for incoming calls while on national roaming have been reduced from Rs1.75 per minute to 75 paise per minute, it added.
Tariffs for outgoing SMS while on national roaming, which were earlier under forbearance, have now been capped: outgoing SMS (local) at Re1 per SMS and outgoing SMS (STD) at Rs1.50 per SMS. Incoming SMS will remain free of charge, TRAI said.
"TRAI feels that the best way forward is to establish a tariff regime in which roamers self-select themselves out and so minimise the impact on the rest of the subscriber community," it said.
In working towards free roaming, TRAI has also borne in mind the need to keep costs to roamers at a minimum, it added.
TRAI has decided that STVs and Combo Vouchers which were hitherto allowed only for home tariffs can be permitted for roaming tariffs. This will give the service providers the greatest possible flexibility in customising tariffs for their roaming subscribers.
Brooklyn District Attorney Charles J Hynes will be deposed by the lawyer for a man who has accused Hynes of running a prosecutor's office, where misconduct is condoned, even rewarded. Hynes, who has denied the allegation, had sought to avoid answering questions under oath, but a federal judge ruled that he must
For more than two years, Jabbar Collins and his lawyer have pursued a multi-million dollar wrongful conviction lawsuit against New York City. They have unearthed what they claim is damning evidence of misconduct by prosecutors in the office of Brooklyn District Attorney Charles J. Hynes. They have obtained a sworn affidavit from a man who said he was forced by prosecutors to lie on the stand during Collins' murder trial.
They have named the individual prosecutors to hold them personally accountable.
But their aims have not been limited to establishing possible wrongdoing in the 1995 case that sent Collins to prison for 16 years. Instead, the lawsuit has included an additional, ambitious allegation: that Hynes, over many years, ran a district attorney's office that overlooked, condoned and even rewarded misconduct by its prosecutors.
It is a bracing assertion. And it is one Hynes, in legal papers filed by the city, had sought to avoid answering in person. Lawyers for the city, arguing on Hynes' behalf, said it was unnecessary or premature for Hynes to have to submit to questioning about the oversight of the men and women who worked for him. They asked a federal judge in Brooklyn to prevent Collins' lawyer from taking testimony from him under oath.
On Wednesday, that judge, Federal Magistrate Judge Robert Levy, ruled that Hynes would not be spared. Hynes, based on the judge's ruling, will have to sit for a deposition with Collins' lawyer, Joel Rudin, in August. The judge also rejected the city's bid to keep the deposition sealed. Hynes, who is running for a seventh term, is set to square off in a Democratic primary in September.
Outside the courtroom in Brooklyn, Collins said he was excited about the prospect of questioning Hynes.
"I think it's finally vindication to really confront him and have him answer under oath why he permitted the horrendous misconduct in my case to occur and why he failed to do anything about it," Collins said.
Lawyers for the city have rejected the claims that Hynes has been condoning misconduct. And they have portrayed Rudin's efforts to question him under oath as a stunt to humiliate the district attorney.
"Regrettably, plaintiff's fierce resistance to deposing other senior officials, together with his apparent proclivity to litigate this case in the press, betrays his motives: To embarrass the District Attorney by ambushing him with pointed questions from 50 separate cases that have been litigated in his office for the past 30 years or more, and then to play 'gotcha' when the DA understandably cannot recall specifics or details," city lawyers said in court papers.
Rudin has alleged in the lawsuit that Hynes' tacit policy of overlooking misconduct has led to repeated instances in which witnesses were secretly coerced into giving false testimony, exculpatory evidence was withheld, and coverups were mounted when defendants appealed. Rudin has asserted that he has found nearly 60 cases in which some or all of that kind of misconduct took place. In all those instances, Rudin asserts, no prosecutor involved was ever disciplined. Instead, he has claimed in court papers, Hynes has "praised and promoted them, thereby encouraging future constitutional violations to occur."
Rudin has also argued that the pervasiveness of misconduct in Hynes' office demonstrates that prosecutors are improperly trained to handle exculpatory evidence when they discover it. In fact, he claims that prosecutors "were permitted and/or encouraged to refrain from making any record of false or inconsistent out-of-court statements of prospective prosecution witnesses." That way, they'd never have to turn such material over to the defense as the law requires, Rudin has claimed in the lawsuit.
All of this, Rudin has alleged, produced "overall deliberate indifference" to misconduct in Hynes' office. And that attitude, he has said, helped explain the misconduct that Rudin has alleged against the lead prosecutor in Collins' murder case decades ago. Rudin has accused that prosecutor, Michael Vecchione, of having engineered false testimony against Collins and then having overseen an effort to deny him access to records that might have freed him from prison. Collins was released after 16 years after he won a rare bid in federal court to have his case re-examined.
Vecchione has denied each and every one of Rudin's claims, and lawyers for the city have continued to insist that Collins is guilty.
Vecchione was scheduled to be deposed by Rudin on Friday. However, Vecchione, who has been a principal character in CBS' current series "Brooklyn DA," had asked to have the deposition postponed because he was busy on a case. Judge Levy, however, ordered that Vecchione be deposed no later than June 24.
At the hearing, the city withdrew its argument that certain emails and other records turned over to Rudin and Collins by Hynes' office be kept under court seal.

The 3 Bits offer a chance to hang out with a porn star (video)
The hilarious and controversial queer Web series teams with porn site CockyBoys to raise funds for new episodes
Wed Dec 4 2013
Max Freeman and Margaret Singer's queer Web series, The 3 Bits, follows the antics of a trio of Brooklyn siblings—art-school twink Henry (Cole Escola), drug dealer–turned-gardener Roman (Singer) and Park Slope mommy blogger Madison (Erin Markey). It's developed a rabid cult following, thanks to its mix of noirish drama, cheeky comedy and general shamelessness. In the latter category: The show recently attracted attention from NYPD after an episode was released in which Markey pretends to snort cocaine off an infant. (Don't worry: It wasn't real, and the po-po was placated.)
To raise funds for more episodes, the show's creators teamed up with beefcakey porn site CockyBoys to offer some sexy Kickstarter rewards. Contribute $150 and one of that site's stars—Max Ryder, Levi Karter or the wonderfully quirky Colby Keller, pictured—will record a personalized voicemail message for you. Pony up $500 and you get five whole private minutes with one of the boys (via webcam…but still!). For the less porn-inclined, the campaign offers many, many more prizes, ranging from T-shirts ($50) to a box of Escola's toenails ($200…seriously). But every little bit (get it?!?) helps, so check out the show, and if you like what you see, give generously!

Mr Han and his six-member delegation sat in silence as their host, the chairman of the railway, rushed off to investigate. The connection with the overhead electrical wires had failed. Not only could the Nozomi - which means 'Desire' - not move, but on a chilly December day the train's heating had stopped.
Two and a half hours later, another train was shunted up the line to pull the Nozomi, the Chinese delegation and the other 900 passengers, to the next station. By this stage helicopters with television crews were hovering overhead and reporters were waiting at the platform to record what had become a national humiliation.
The curse of the bullet train named Desire had struck again. After three decades of almost faultless service by the bullet trains, which have never had a fatal accident, the 170mph Nozomi version, introduced last year, has caused Japan Railways endless headaches, with breakdowns, mechanical failures and other problems.
Japan has the most efficient railways in the world. The Nozomi is the exception that proves the rule. And when something does go wrong, it goes wrong in a big way.
The Nozomi was designed to cut the travel time on the 260-mile Tokyo-Osaka route to 2 hours and 50 minutes - 20 minutes faster than ordinary bullet trains. On a good day, the Nozomi does this - for a return fare of pounds 165. But on a bad day it doesn't make it. Thursday's stoppage caused 24 bullet trains to be cancelled and 21 to be delayed, affecting 45,000 passengers. The schedules leave little room for error: at peak times a train leaves Tokyo for Osaka every 7 minutes.
Trains are part of Japanese daily life. The Transport Ministry says 22.7 billion train journeys are made every year, or 62 million per day - by a population of just 123 million. Some 300,000 people are employed by the railways - one in 20 of the working population. Japan's railways were established 120 years ago; as the country modernised after the 1868 Meiji Restoration, British engineers helped to build the first line, from Tokyo to the port of Yokohama, 15 miles away, in 1872. Less than four decades later, railways linked most of Japan, and by 1907, 140 million passengers and 24 million tons of freight were transported by rail. Trains played a central part in the nation's development: the bullet trains were designed with a view to impressing the world when Japan hosted the 1964 Olympics.
Today the bullet trains have become highly politicised: many politicians have staked their careers on building a bullet train route to their constituency, with all the prestige and economic windfalls that entails.
In 1906 the first de luxe express train, the 'Saikyuko', began travelling between Tokyo and Osaka, with first, second and third classes and a dining car. Today's Nozomi travels the same route, but dining cars have been abolished to increase seating capacity. Train attendants - with white gloves - push trolleys with box lunches, canned drinks and coffee instead. They are scrupulously polite, and bow to the honourable passengers as they enter and leave a carriage. Glamour has been sacrificed to efficiency. The old Saikyuko took 13 leisurely hours to make the journey the Nozomi does in 2 hours 50 minutes - when it arrives.

Life goes on
'Where have you been the last week?' Amrita demanded at school 'I've hardly seen you.'
'I know. I'm sorry.'
'We've got English again today, did you do the homework?'
Valorie looked at her. 'Homework?'
'You were supposed to answer that question about the poem we've been doing? Didn't you write it down?'
'No.' Valorie groaned. 'I don't want to do it. Let him shout at me, I don't care.'
'Are you sure?'
Valorie was worn out. She had Facebook stuff to deal with, she had Charley's sessions – which weren't getting any easier – and her parents were still disputing. It was getting rather stressful.
'I've been thinking,' Amrita said, 'maybe I should have a nickname. I've never had one.'
'Really?' Valorie asked, looking wearily at her friend.
'No. My mum always calls me Amrita, my brothers do, and my sister does… I need a nickname.'
'Amri?' Valorie put.
'That's pretty cool,' Amrita said after some consideration. 'From now on, you have to call me Amri, ok?'
'Absolutement, Mon Capitan,' Valorie said, and gave a salute. 'C'mon, let's go to the canteen, I'm starving.'
'You look really tired. Is anything wrong?'
'Oh, just millions of tiny little things. Nothing big.'
'I see.'
Mr Faulkner shouted at her for not doing the homework, and gave her a ten-minute detention after school.
'As this… is a first… offence…' he drawled, 'I… will not… contact… your… tutor. Will you… do… the homework… by… tomorrow?'
'Yes,' Valorie answered curtly.
Mr Faulkner let her go. Amrita was waiting outside the classroom for her.
'Did you die in there or something?' she asked.
'I mean, I know it's boring, but you were nearly asleep most of the lesson. You didn't even talk to me.'
'I know. I'm sorry. I'll play consequences with you tomorrow.'
'I was so bored,' Amrita complained. 'I needed to talk to someone, but you were having a snooze.'
'I know.'
'Are you going to go to sleep next lesson?'
'I dunno. Maybe, what does it matter?'
Amrita cleared her throat. 'Would you mind if I sat next to somebody else? You know, someone I can actually talk to?'
Valorie yawned. 'I suppose so. I'd walk home with you, but I'm in a hurry. I've got to see…'
'Don't tell me,' Amrita said, sounded dejected. 'Charley.'
'I'll see you later, Amri,' Valorie said, too tired to care, and slumped off.
Charley wasn't in. Valorie sat on the doorstep waiting for him. When Charley did arrive with bags of shopping, she was fast asleep.
'My goodness,' Charley japed. 'A vagrant.'
Valorie woke up. 'Is that my new name now?'
'Could be. Are you up for today's session?'
Valorie stood up, and took two of Charley's bags. 'Suppose so. Nice tent, by the way.'
Charley pretended to be indignant. 'I think it's very comfortable,' he said, swirling his kaftan.
'Oh well. It's a nice baggy garment. I'd be more worried if it actually fit you.'
Charley waved her inside, and then followed Valorie into the kitchen. Valorie thought she heard him mutter 'Peasant.'
The kitchen smelt of air freshener. Eddie was already in there, drinking a cup of tea.
'Hello again,' she said to Valorie.
'Hi,' Valorie said, waving, before whispering to Charley, 'She's still here?'
'She's just a friend.'
'Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.'
'Shut up.'
Eddie went pink. 'Charley's been showing me how to walk through a wall today. I did alright the first time, but then I got stuck.'
'That was embarrassing,' Charley said. 'I had to pull her back out again. OK Valorie, today we're going to go over your grabbing skills one last time, and then I think we'll take a break from that and explore your teleportation skills.'
'Have you had the chance to practice much at home?'
'Oh please. I can barely get my homework done on time as it is.'
Charley leaned as far back against the sofa as was possible without actually sitting down.
'I do worry about your education suffering as a result of our sessions. I mean, you are awfully young to begin Wizarding.'
'That's not fair. You told me you started when you were five.'
'True, but remember we had no TV and we were very very bored as children.'
'Can we get on with it please?'
Charley sighed. 'I guess so. Oh, by the way, I got a few very special moths in today. Do you want to see them afterwards?'
'I'd be delighted.'
'OK. Look into my eyes.'
The session went quite well – Valorie was definitely improving as far as manoeuvrability was concerned – but she was still unable to pick up anything without teleporting. Charley promised not to force any more torturous practices on her for the next few weeks.
'We do have to come back to it at some point, remember.'
'I know. So can I see your special moths?'
Valorie followed Charley as he cannoned up the stairs. They entered Charley's bedroom, which was painted bright yellow and smelt of incense.
Inside a largish tank fluttered two moths.
'That's it?' Valorie exclaimed. 'They look like ordinary moths to me, what makes these so special?'
Charley grinned. 'These are Oak Processionary moths. They're very dangerous because the caterpillars have toxins in the bristles on their backs. If the toxins are inhaled, one can suffer respiratory distress, and even anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.'
'Wow. That's one deadly moth. Do you have any caterpillars?'
'Not of these ones, no.'
Valorie watched the moths flutter around, occasionally nibbling at the bark that Charley had left for them.
'Why do you have such an interest in insects?'
Charley looked at her. 'I don't know,' he answered. 'I've always found them fascinating. So much simpler than humans, and yet so much more complex.'
Valorie could only nod.

QE taper: what does economy say?
According to Reuters forecast, majority of economists expect the Fed to start tapering QE in March. Still, the recent positive economic figures out of the US create room for doubts.
What exactly do we mean by "positive economic figures"? Analysts at BK Asset Management did a great job by systematizing these figures:
Health of consumer sector: FOR tapering
Labor market: FOR tapering
Inflation: AGAINST tapering
Housing market: neutral
Manufacturing sector: neutral
Growth: FOR tapering
Market indicators: FOR tapering
BK thinks that the Fed will announce small amount of tapering this month ($5 to $10 billion), but won't commit to further reductions for now, so that the next Chairman Janet Yellen got flexibility for her policymaking. 10-year Treasury yields rose, but are below their September highs, so the market has probably priced in tapering this month or next, but didn't price in the end of QE next year.

River was usually a slow walker: nine times out of ten she ambled along with her head in the clouds. But the new boy trudged even slower than her and consequently she ended up in the seat beside the last of those her class was occupying in assembly rather than in it.
"What's your name?" she asked conversationally.
He looked at her then shrugged. His face was a mask and there was nothing revealed through his movements. "Ryan," he said and stared ahead.
River frowned slightly. She wasn't full of herself and so she didn't expect people to ask her her name but she thought it a little strange that Ryan hadn't done so.
"Well, I'm River.
"Which school did you go to before you came here?" she inquired, hoping he'd be a little more responsive.
"Um, somewhere...," he mumbled, flashing a nervous but adorable smile. "Sorry, I've moved so often in the past three years I can't remember."
She was interested by this answer and charmed by the smile but she couldn't say any more as the usual teacher-induced hush descended over the room to indicate that the headmaster was coming.
After the assembly, as the students were beginning to leave, she asked Ryan, "What d'you have next?"
"Um, Room 12, English," he replied, looking tired and, to be honest, a bit bored.
"Oh," she said, pleasantly surprised by the revelation and always able to ignore other people's boredom in her persevering optimism; "I do English too. Do you know where you're going? I can show you the way to the classroom." She picks up her bag from where she left it on a rack near the assembly hall and then continues walking with him.
He shrugged. "I'm a bit worn down actually. So help would be nice."
She smiled. "Cool, come with me then." She led him to the classroom, feeling quite responsible. "So, what else are you doing?"
"Biology, Music and Art."
"Quite an interesting combination," she remarked, impressed. "I'm doing English Lit, Chemistry, Art History and Art. Which Art are you doing?"
"The creative one," he said, chuckling.
"Well, it's cool we do two of the same subjects," she said. At this moment, they drew up at the classroom where they were about to have English. As of yet the teacher hadn't arrived and the door was locked so they stood outside, waiting.
"How was your summer?" River asked, moving the conversation away from school.
"I moved and helped my brother set up his shop," Ryan said with a shrug.
"For the whole summer?" River inquired.
Ryan nodded. "Lot of boxes, guitars. Paper work. Study catch-up."
River felt sympathetic towards Ryan. It can't have been much fun constantly working during what was supposed to be the principal holiday of the year.
"Well, if you don't get too much homework this week, d'you want to come hang out at my place at the weekend?" she asked.
"Um..., I'm not sure. I was supposed to be hanging with my brother but... I'll ask."
She smiled warmly.
"Well, I hope you can come."
At this moment, the teacher appeared: a tall young lady River had never been taught by before. She let the students into the room, heading to the front desk to put her handbag behind the desk.
"Morning," she said cheerily as the students took their seats wherever they liked. River sat next to Ryan near the back. "My name's Miss Wund. I hope you've all had a restful summer holiday because the work is going to be more difficult than you're used to this year. If you ever have any questions, though, don't hesitate to approach me. I am here to help you achieve the best possible AS result and I can't do that if we don't talk to each other. So, now, I'm going to give you all your English folders - yes, folders, not exercise books: you're mature students now; and give you a summary of the AS English Lit course."
She smiled and proceeded to do what she said she would.
As Miss Wund walked around with a cardboard box full of lever arch files, River noticed Ryan sketching in a book. He appeared to be sketching the outline of a girl.
"May I ask who that is?" she asked, hoping she wasn't being rude.
"Uh..., he blushed. "Someone I saw this morning."
"Ah, well, I won't pry then," she said, winking, though deep inside she yearned desperately to know all about the girl, to know if Ryan was in love with her.
For the rest of that lesson, she didn't really have much of a chance to speak to Ryan again. But afterwards, when the bell rang for break, she asked if he would like to go into town with her - leaving the school grounds during the school day was a Sixth Form privilege and she was keen to have this novel experience.
River felt quite shy as she did. She didn't usually talk to people in school. In fact, she wasn't even sure why Ryan was a special case: perhaps she just wanted to make sure he wasn't on his own because he was new. Also... there was that curious feeling that he was a link to the romantic knowledge she wished to gain.
Ryan hesitated. "Would we be back for lunch?"
She laughed out loud, despite the fact he was new and didn't know a lot.
"I'd personally like to get back for my next lesson," she told him. "I'm not a rebel - this is within school rules."
"Oh... well... I guess..... We could pop by and see my brother."
"Does he live nearby?" she asked. "Town is a five minute walk away. Break lasts half an hour."
"Um, we're the end of the main street. 10 minute walk?"
"Oh, cool. Will your brother be in?"
Ryan nodded, looking worried.
River noticed Ryan's expression and frowned slightly.
"Hey, are you worried about something?"
"No, nothing worrying just..." He sighed. "You'll see when you meet him."
"Right," she said, slowly, totally mystified. With that, they set off away from the school and along the high street of the town, which wasn't really all that long. Still, River found it exciting to be out of school bounds and enjoyed the overpowering sense of freedom it brought her.
It felt like less than ten minutes when they arrived at the last shop in a row of small local stores. The name was 'Rock It'.
Ryan gestured at the shop and opened the door for her. Inside, a young man with dark brown hair, playing a guitar, his legs kicked up on the counter.
River couldn't help but stare at Ryan's brother. He was the most physically attractive person she had ever seen in her life. She couldn't be sure whether it was the slightly tousled nature of his hair, his gentle facial features or his oddly soothing chestnut brown eyes that made her suddenly want to forget all her troubles and join him on the counter - even stay the whole day and not think about school. Perhaps it was none of those things about him. Perhaps it was his muscular build. Perhaps it was all of those things put together.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Ryan roll his eyes. Her eyes didn't move from his brother, though.

Alanic Brings Private Label Clothing Options for Its Customers
Alanic.com has garnered a massive popularity for its high quality clothing items. Over a short period of time, the company has achieved success and worldwide exposure.
Their sports clothing section is quite impressive. Under the section of sports clothing, customers can find uniforms of various types of sports including American football, Australian football, athletics, baseball, basketball, boxing, marathons, cricket, cycling, golf, ice-hockey, hockey, lacrosse, rugby league, soccer, surf life softball, triathlon, tennis and much more. A retailer, who is interested in selling sports clothing items exclusively, will get all of the necessary products from Alanic.
It is, however, noteworthy that the company has gained recognition also for its line of private label clothing. This is a smart move that helped Alanic gain a whole section of retailers that are looking forward to selling clothing items under their own brand. Of course, retailers will have to get the clothing items made from a manufacturer, and Alanic is there is to provide the products. Being a wholesale distributor of clothing items, Alanic has the resources to create thousands of pieces of products within the given timeline. "We have a strong team in place. We have the talent and the resources to supply bulk orders within short period of time" – says Tony Beig, the founder of Alanic.
Finding reliable private label clothing suppliers is crucial for retailers that want to create and establish their brand identity. Without high quality products, achieving this will not be possible. That is why, selecting a clothing manufacturer that offers a range of products, a wide selection of materials, colors and designs is absolutely necessary. Alanic successfully fulfills all of these criteria. That is what makes them the ideal choice for many retailers.
To provide their customers with ultimate satisfaction, Alanic also offers a number of customization features with their private labeling clothing. The customers have the liberty to choose their own designs, colors materials. They can also provide ideas on what kind of designs, colors and materials they want even if what they are looking for is not present in the catalogue. This is a great additional offering that helps Alanic attract more and more customers. "No two customers have the same kind of preferences. We respect individuality and personal choices when it comes to private label clothing. That is why we also provide customization options so that our customers get the products exactly the way want." – said one of the company executives.
Alanic's wholesale private label clothing is expected to take them to newer heights. The company has already established its reputation as a clothing manufacturer and distributor. But there is really no limit to success. "We still have a long way to go, and I'm not thinking of stopping anytime soon." – said the ambitious founder of Alanic, Tony Beig.

Rear extended sway bar links 3.25"-4" lift for an 06 TJ
I need need some rear extended sway bar links for my 06 tj. I have a 3.25" of lift but I am pretty sure it's the same as on a 4" lift. New or used fine. I need the straight ones not the ones with the bends in it that the front use. Lmk what you got.
I have a pair that were part of a Full Traction lift. Will these work for you? They are the ones pictured between the stock rear links and the front bump stops. $25. PM me if interested since I'm not always good at checking back on threads.
Got some, thanks!

Starcom Worldwide Global CEO Laura Desmond was among the "titans of technology, politics, business and media" who took the stage at the 2015 Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit in San Francisco. Desmond joined Medium CEO Ev Williams, Vice Media Founder and CEO Shane Smith and AOL CEO Tim Armstrong for a panel discussion titled "An Uneasy Marriage—Tech, Media and Money," which was moderated by Vanity Fair Contributing Editor Sarah Ellison. Among other points, Desmond discussed disruption and the top-of-mind topic of ad blocking: It comes down to consumers' experiences with content, she explained. "We are collectively owners of that experience, and we need to increase the engagement by bringing people what they want to see, by entertaining [them] and by giving them value. When consumers see that publishers and marketers are giving them value, they'll stick around."
