Critically ill patients with leptospirosis have been found to display primarily hypokinetic hemodynamics, which are further complicated by myocarditis, arrhythmias, pulmonary involvement, shock and renal failure. Hemodynamic monitoring of these patients would help in better understanding of pathophysiology of this disease. Possible correlations with morbidity and mortality patterns could be established.
After the Institutional Ethics Committee permission, 17 patients admitted to the Medical Intensive Care Unit of KEM Hospital, Mumbai, clinically diagnosed with leptospirosis (Faine's criteria) were recruited for the study. Clinical and biochemical profiles were documented. As per protocol, hemodynamic variables were measured using a Swan-Ganz pulmonary catheter and a computerized multiparameter monitor within 48 hours of admission.The data was compared using Mann-Whitney test to correlate the morbidity and mortality between the survivors and non-survivors.
We found two hemodynamic patterns- respiratory failure with left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) (n = 1) and respiratory failure without left ventricular dysfunction (n = 16). Among these, there were 7 survivors and 9 non-survivors. Both the groups without LVD showed a pattern like septic shock, with low systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), normal to high cardiac index, normal pulmonary wedge pressure, but a variable pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP). The mean pulmonary arterial pressure of survivors was significantly lesser as compared to the non survivors (P = 0.007). The median PVRI of the non-survivors was much higher (281) as compared to the survivors (192). These could be important prognostic factors for determining survival in critically ill patients with leptospirosis.
Critically ill patients with leptospirosis present predominantly with septic shock. Occasional cardiac involvement leads to a pattern of cardiogenic shock. The MPAP and PVRI of non-survivors were higher than that of survivors, which could suggest a role of irreversible lung injury as a predictor of mortality in these patients.
As the patterns of shock in patients with leptospirosis vary, early identification of these patterns can help in earlier interventions which may help in preventing mortality.

Because he's not Goodenow and the NHL teams may not be as desperate? Maybe some of them have figured out that their system wasn't the panacea they though. Some might even decide to use people who know how to use calculators and not just let some lawyers design economic systems.
Wishful thinking on my part.
I just don't get how so many people just keep repeating this stuff though. Because the NHL made a proposal, the only thing for a PA to do is sign as-is. If they squawk, they're greedy, not the owners who want more profit for themselves. The old CBA doesn't count as a starting point if we're talking concessions and percentage share, but it does count if we're talking about caps and linkage.
My head hurts.

And then, finally, perhaps we could get out from under the tsunami of useless drek that is drowning and killing the BoH forum, and have something resembling substantive discussions.
At this point, I'd pay them out of my own funds to join. It's like Chinese Water Torture in here.....

As you ascend the drive to this panarama retreat you will feel your everyday worries falling away, when the door opens you will know you are home in the house you always dreamed of...if only for the night.
WOW, WOW – words cannot describe the views from this home. You can sit inside and gaze through the glass walls, or sit outside on the deck in the evening (it can get warm during the day) and feel like you are on top of the world, away from the craziness of LA traffic. The fact that it is located at the end of a dead end street really made a difference as far as privacy and QUIET! A contemporary Shangra-La to escape to after a long day in LA.
My wife and I had such a wonderful getaway at this "Panorama" home. Incredible views (day and night) and a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, but it's just a short drive to all the big Hollywood attractions. James (the owner) met us when we first arrived, showed us around and gave us ideas of things to do (as we are from out of state). We went out to dinner on Sunset Blvd. several nights, loved the large, jetted bathtub and always ended up on the balcony at night watching the city lights. Exactly the vacation we needed, thank you!
thank you so much for the use of Harry Bosch's home. We had a lovely time above LA and yet so close. A truly unforgettable experience.
This Hollywood Hills home is all about the views and location! We stayed for 6 nights and had a fantastic time. It was minutes to all of the famous sites like the Sunset strip, Universal Studios, Graumanns Chinese Theater and Beverly Hills. When you walk into this home the views are breathtaking all the way to the ocean. At night you see the city lights on the very large balcony. Open the doors for beautiful cool breezes at night. We took a drive to Santa Barbara only 1 1/2 hr by car. Take the back roads wine tour in an open air hummer. Our kids even loved this! You must eat at Kahana on Sunset Drive for the best sushi and ambiance. This home is near famous stars like Will Farrell, Charlize Theron and Ben Stiller. Take the Ultimate Hollywood Tour to see their homes. I highly recommend this home. The location and views are the best!
We had such a wonderful time staying at the Panorama Retreat! Josh made us feel right at home and recommended local restaurants that were amazing! The view from this house stretches across all of Los Angeles and is breathtaking! We loved out time here and hope that we can visit again soon!
I had the pleasure to stay here when I was in LA for business. I had to thank my boss for putting me up in this amazing home. The 180 degree view was spectacular! Its truly breathtaking at night to see all the lights and outline of downtown. I even brought some clients that we're from LA and they we're jealous of the view. The house itself is sleek and very comfortable. After leaving I now understand why so many people love Southern California. I hope to book again soon whether for business or vacation!
This property is located in the lushly gardened hills above Hollywood, the entertainment capital of the world. Venice Beach's famous boardwalk and exclusive Malibu Beach are a scenic drive away. Get your thrills at Universal Studio's theme park in the afternoon, then chill out with a glass of wine Moonshadow's above the crashing waves of the Pacific at sundown. Here you are truly at the center of it all!

Pamela That building is going to be the new clinic. Until there's a larger, more qualified staff to handle the healthcare of the colony, Congress wants the licensed doctors to live near or, preferably, at the clinic. It's just more efficient.
Foster I see.
Pamela You don't think it will cause problems, do you?
Foster Oh, no; I'm just trying to learn this new layout through and through. The others keep coming to me with the questions about things I don't know. I'm getting tired of sending them to Debars, and I'm pretty sure he's getting tired of it too.
Pamela Well, you can always send them to me.
Foster Would you mind?
Pamela Of course not. Besides, Debars is good at what he does, but he can have trouble relating to these people sometimes.
Foster Yes, I know what you mean. Politicians don't get out so much anymore.
Pamela Well, who does?
Foster In any case, if you're still ready to deal with mobs of angry colonists, Ms. Faraday, I'll send them straight to you.
Pamela Much obliged, Chief Foster.
Foster … Jonathan.
Pamela Pamela.
Foster And so we actually meet.
Pamela [laughing] Of course, isn't it just like the colonies? So do you like to go by John, or did the others decide for you?
Foster Well, you can't stop it.
Enter Sailor and Shoal, standing in doorway
Sailor Hello Chief John. Oh, hi Shoal's mom.
Pamela Hi boys.
Foster Hey there kiddo. What's going on?
Sailor We were wondering if we can come in Control today.
Foster Sure, for a little bit. Ms. Faraday and I have to get back to work soon, though.
Sailor Come look at this, Shoal: this is where Chief John talks to Congress.
Shoal Colonies can't really talk to Congress, Sailor. It's just lights and signals.
Sailor Yeah, I know that. But anyway, I just call it talking.
Pamela [to Foster] Thank goodness there is another child here! All we'd heard before we arrived was that the double-digit colonies were having the hardest time starting Beta. I wasn't able to imagine what terrorism Shoal would have subjected us to if he didn't have a friend to run around with.
Foster Looks like everyone is fortunate to have the boy, then.
Pamela Mm.
Do you know if, is it—is it just that …
Foster Well, no. I know of a number who are still fertile. Suffice it to say we once had a rather scary experience out here. If Debars really wants Forty-Four to support a growing Beta Generation, I'm afraid he'll have his work cut out for him.
Pamela Dear. I didn't realize the situation was a sensitive matter.
Foster We all have our mountains to climb, don't we?
pamela Yes, I know you're right. But at the moment, I think it's best that we focus on one mountain at a time.
Foster Very true.
Sorry boys, time to go. Ms. Faraday and I have a lot of work to do.

Versatile defensive player Eric Dier joined us from Sporting Lisbon in July, 2014, and enjoyed a terrific 2015-16 campaign that saw him make an impact for club and country.
Moved into a holding midfield role at the start of 2015-16, he made that position his own and started all bar one of our Premier League games that season - only missing out on the Liverpool home game in October, 2015, through suspension.
He scored four goals in all competitions including a memorable strike in a 4-1 home win over Manchester City and played his way into the senior England squad, making his debut against Spain in November, 2015.
In his third game for the Three Lions in March, 2016, he powered home a stoppage time header to secure a 3-2 victory away to Germany - a game in which fellow Spur Harry Kane was also on target. Subsequently, he played in all four of England's games at Euro 2016, scoring their first goal in the group stage with a powerful free-kick against Russia.
Born in Cheltenham but brought up in Portugal after his parents moved there in 2004, Eric was snapped up by Sporting Lisbon's Academy and progressed through the system to their first team, eventually making 30 appearances.
Upon joining Spurs, he gained instant hero status with a last-minute winner at West Ham on the opening day of the 2014-15 Premier League season, bursting through from right-back to finish in style at Upton Park!
He followed that up with a goal on his home debut in a 4-0 win against Queens Park Rangers the following week and went on to feature 36 times in all competitions, including 28 appearances (25 starts) in the Premier League, switching between central defensive and right-back roles. He started at centre-half in the 2015 League Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley.
Capped by England at Under-18, Under-19 and Under-20 levels, he also earned nine Under-21 caps prior to his breakthrough into the senior international set-up.

1K Challenge: Session One
Once I got into the groove of things, I actually began to enjoy myself. I played video poker, slot machines, and Mini-Baccarat ... the only table game I was allowed to play.
For the most part, I played sideways and never got up or down more than $5 or so. Just like in real life.
Of course, I wasn't exactly high-rolling. I "max played" both nickels and quarters, but that's about as high as I am willing to go. I didn't hit anything big, just a couple of Full Houses, but these were enough to keep me pretty close to even all afternoon.
One gameplay item that did throw me off a little bit was on the JOB video poker machine. This particular machine automatically held "correct strategy" cards, and I was confused at times.
When I am in Vegas, pretty much the only VP machines I play are Bonus machines. Be they Bonus, Double Bonus, or Double Double Bonus (I know it sounds repetitive), I tend to give up a little on the low end for quad-type payouts. Because of this, I have trained on Bonus simulators over the years and have gotten used to holding pairs over high cards.
For example, if I get 2-2-5-K-8 dealt, I typically hold the 2-2 and discard the rest. The online JOB machine, however, would auto-hold the K and discard the rest. This is contrary to my own strategy, and frankly, I don't know if I am right or the machine is right. Since I prefer to go with my own instinct, I spent a lot of time over-ruling the machine's advice, and I probably did this to my own detriment.
Going forward, I will probably be better served if I train on a Jacks-or-Better machine so I know what in the hell I am doing. I've still yet to hit an elusive Royal Flush, and at this rate, I still won't.
So far, my favorite slot machine at the Rich Casino is something called "Gangster Something". It's got this super-funky bassline groove that plays between spins that makes me want to get up and do the running man. Seriously, it's a dope beat for a slot machine. Next time I play it I'm going to record the game sound with my EVO, throw it into Garage Band, record my voice with some auto-tune, comb my hair forward like that Justin Bieber girl, and hit the Top 40.
What can I tell you, inspiration can be found in strange places
Now, I've heard a lot of banter on the Internet from people who scream "Online gambling is rigged!". Frankly, I have never had an opinion about this because I had never really played online. The people I have dealt with so far in the online gambling community have always been very honest and forthright -- moreso I would say than their brick and mortar counterparts -- but I was still naive to the actual gameplay itself.
After a few weeks of playing online, however, and especially at this particular casino, I must say that everything seems quite usual to me.
I know, I know, "but Rex, the machines are not regulated", and while brick-and-mortar machines generally are, I've heard numerous stories of people not getting paid jackpots in Indian Casinos due to what the tribe calls machine "malfunctions" when they finally hit. As a matter of fact, I've heard all kinds of shenanigans which occur with supposedly "regulated" machines which leave me to believe that the "regulation" is not the panacea that people think that it is.
A casino is only as good as its reputation, and since bad news travels fast, I don't think that most of the larger online casinos could afford to partake in too many hi-jinx.
I personally know one guy who hit several online jackpots and was subsequently banned from an online casino for "winning too much". I am not making this up. He hit several $10,000+ wins (one was in excess of 20 grand), and after the third or fourth win, the casino blackballed him in a flattering way (something about him being too good/lucky of a player for them). With that, the casino promptly paid him 100% of his winnings and he opened an account elsewhere. Most of these casinos are run by European companies, not Nigerian countries.
Now, I'm a skeptical guy. As I was playing yesterday, I tried to look for any hint that something was out of sorts. Statistical improbabilities, strange patterns on the slots ... such as every spin being an "almost winner" and things like that. I didn't see anything at all. If anything, I was surprised at how many times I won Mini Baccarat. I won more than 50% of the time.
I played Video Poker sideways for damn near an hour ... just like I have done for years at the Las Vegas machines. The slots hit every now and then, but not often, and when they did, the wins were modest. This is typically what happens when I play in places like Harrah's.
When all was said and done, I logged out of the casino up a whopping eight dollars.
This may not seem like much, but considering that I got an hour and a half's worth of entertainment out of it, it's not too shabby. I also furthered my goal of building the account up to $1,000.
At this point, it's $8 down, $692 to go.
This may take awhile.

Real advice from real people
Get helpful hints about your pregnancy from the people that know.
Your new baby may be the light of your life, but this little bundle of joy can be expected to cost around £4,000 – even before his or her first birthday, according to a new report.
Kitting out a nursery, coupled with the added cost of clothes, nappies, bedding, toys and food leaves millions of parents with a substantial hole in their pocket if they're not one of the 21 per cent of families which saved for the new arrival.
On top of that car seats, pushchairs and other bits and pieces also send the cost soaring for first-time mums and dads.
But amazingly, the study also found one in three parents admit they 'got a bit carried away' and overspent hugely in preparation for their new arrival, with 52 per cent of these purchases made during the first half of pregnancy as excitement (and hormones) kicked in.
The research by Philips Avent among 2,891 parents found many can expect to hand over nearly £300 on baby's nursery including cot, furniture, soft furnishings and paint. Toys will come in at another £661.20, while they are also looking at spending nearly £750 on clothes.
Parents who have more than one child claim they learnt their lessons from the first time round, 73% claimed to be more savvy spenders when their second child arrived. In fact the stats show parents have calculated they spent up to almost £170 less on their second child thanks to hand-me-downs and more canny cash management.
Leading personal finance expert Sue Hayward says: ''With just a little planning new parents can make some sound purchases to welcome their baby into the world without breaking the bank. The key is to look for quality items which will last for a long time or can be sold-on to help recoup some of the cost. Talk to friends and family and even your midwife for advice on what you really will and won't need."

This year's publication is aimed at providing agribusinesses operating in Africa with information about the most significant industry trends, with a specific emphasis on the importance of technological innovation and its impact.
The best way to maintain a competitive edge and stay ahead of your peers is to embrace technological innovation. We recognise the importance of seizing the opportunity to create new technologies through innovation. Technology should contribute to creating an enabling environment in which businesses can reach their strategic goals faster and more efficiently. Through this publication, we endeavour to share information on technological innovation that could impact the world in which agribusinesses operate, enabling them to make smart decisions that will position them properly for the future.
Most land across the globe that is suitable for farming is already being farmed today. Some significant areas that could still be farmed in Africa and Latin America are covered with forest or savannah that cannot be used for agriculture without harming these areas' natural biodiversity (FAO, 2010). In addition to finding more land, the effective use of existing land is critical. The only way to accomplish this is with the right technology.

Bligh was put in an open boat with 18 of his men and a few supplies. They reached land seven weeks later. In 1805 Bligh became the Governor of New South Wales in Australia, and in 1808 the soldiers there also turned against him, putting him in prison for two years. He was not blamed by the British government, however, and was made an admiral (= senior navy officer) in 1811. see also Mutiny on the Bountyjump to other results

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), under its Recycling Market Development Program, has awarded $525,000 in grant money to six companies in the Hoosier State. The money is part of a $2.6 million commitment designed to improve the environment and increase the number of jobs in the state.
"IDEM is pleased to aid Indiana businesses in their recycling efforts," says IDEM Commissioner Thomas Easterly. "The Recycling Market Development Program funding improves efficiency in manufacturing, reduces wastes and contributes to the sustainability of Indiana businesses."
The companies receiving the funding, as well as the amount and a profile of the project are:
- Ace Recycling Inc., Fort Wayne, will receive $50,000 to upgrade and purchase new equipment to automate and support its electronic scrap demanufacturing processes. The R2 (Responsible Recycling Practices) certified company says it is seeking to triple its recycling volume.
- Better World Books, Mishawaka, will receive $100,000 to purchase inventory software and equipment to further automate its system to track book donations and sales. The company's network collects materials from more than 5,000 colleges, universities, libraries and nonprofit organizations to help reuse or recycle more than 120 million books.
- Green Plus Plastics LLC, Fishers, will receive $150,000 to expand operations to recycle plastic films and bottles into pellets. The additional equipment will allow the company to process dirtier materials such as film from the agriculture sector and lower grades of film waste haulers and retail distributors.
- Legal Chop Shop, Fort Wayne, will receive $25,000 to purchase equipment, including a rack and storage system and pallets for its end-of-life vehicle component reuse operation.
- Midwest Veal, North Manchester, will receive $50,000 to update its current manufacturing facility by expanding reuse and recycling efforts in its partnership with Mead Johnson Nutrition. The equipment will include a compression auger and feed conveyor, allowing the company to reclaim baby formula from packaging and reuse the nutrients in animal feed.
- Plastic Recycling Inc., Indianapolis, will receive $150,000 to purchase and install equipment including a reclaim pelletizing extrusion line, melt filter and water ring pelletizer. The company says it will increase its recycling volume by more than 8 million pounds of plastic scrap, including polystyrene, polypropylene and other resins. Its emphasis will be on producing polystyrene pellets for manufacturing products like cups, plates and packing materials.

When moving to a new home, your prized possessions are shifted from room to room, then to a storage box, then to a removal van and finally placed in the new house. In this lengthy process, your treasured belongings are often lost, damaged or discarded. It's easy to think that this is part and parcel of the moving process – after all, that new house with the extra space and better location has to be worth it, right?
This analogy is surprisingly appropriate for businesses moving to the cloud. Solutions like Office 365 offer a wide range of benefits in terms of productivity, network availability, and easier emailing and collaboration from anywhere and from any end device. In spite of these benefits, just like a house move, getting from on-premises Exchange and Office tools to the cloud or hybrid environment can present significant challenges for IT teams.
Whilst many people expect to lose items during a move, more often than not, these losses are caused by a lack of preparation. Sorting, packing and moving involves a lot of work and it can be stressful, but it is also an opportunity to clear out the old junk and move into new premises with a clean slate. The process of moving data to the cloud is the same. Even in the preliminary stages, there is plenty that can go wrong. So, the better prepared a company is for the move, the more smoothly the process will run – and smooth processes lead to lower running costs in the long term as well.
Companies that decide to take their first step towards the cloud need to be aware that it is a lot more than a simple software upgrade; it involves a complex infrastructure migration process. Good preparation is the key to success. Those organising the migration process should ensure that all data is ready for the move and that the company network has the necessary capabilities to interact with the cloud.
The first thing your company needs to decide is whether it actually wants to move all of its data to the cloud. Often, it makes more sense to archive some of it. For example, emails usually take up an enormous amount of storage space. Migrating absolutely everything means that these messages have to be physically moved into the cloud, despite the fact that users rarely access very old emails. The implications of this can be significant. For example, research has shown that, on average, Office 365 migrations can take 30 per cent longer than the original plans.

Mary Letitia Caldwell
|Mary Letitia Caldwell
December 18, 1890
Bogota, Colombia
|July 1, 1972
(aged 81)
Fishkill, New York
|Columbia University
|Alma mater
|Western College for Women, Columbia University
|Notable awards
|Garvan–Olin Medal (1960)
Mary Letitia Caldwell (December 18, 1890 – July 1, 1972)[1] was an American chemist. Growing up she valued education and strived to achieve. She was an instructor at Western College teaching chemistry. She was known for being unique and descriptive along with being family orientated. Maria was in a wheel chair due to muscular disability. Most of her work centered on amylase, a starch enzyme, most notably finding a method for purifying crystalline porcine pancreatic amylase. She spent sixty years doing this.[1][2]
Early life and education[edit]
Caldwell was born in Bogota, Colombia, to American missionaries. She earned her bachelor's degree from the Western College for Women in 1913 and taught at the school until 1918. She earned her M.A. and Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1919 and 1921. She suffered from a progressive muscular disorder which made her wheelchair bound for life. She came from a family of five siblings, all of which valued higher education. She received her BSN in 1913 from an all women's college Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio. She then became an instructor for that school until 1918 when she went to further her studies at Columbia University. In 1919 she received her M.S and her PhD in 1921 from Columbia University. She then became the first women instructor in the chemistry department at Columbia University. In 1951 she retired from teaching and began her studies in enzymes, specifically amylase.[3]
After graduating from graduate school at Columbia University, Caldwell became the first Chemistry professor at Columbia University from 1948-1949.[4] She became the only female member of the senior faculty in the chemistry department,[1] becoming the first woman to attain the rank of assistant professor at Columbia.[5] She attained the rank of full professor in 1948.[1]
Caldwell had a progressive muscular disability, and was confined to a wheelchair by 1960. Despite this, her 9th floor office at her research facility, Chandler Hall, never changed.[6] In 1960 she received the Garvan Medal from the American Chemical Society, an honor awarded annually to a US female chemist.[4]
During her time as a chemist, Caldwell did research on a type of enzyme called amylase. She spent a lot of her time trying to purify enzymes because she was not satisfied with the commercial material. She attempted to find a more pure form of amylase and she was able to develop a method for isolating crystalline pancreatic enzymes.[4]
Awards and accomplishments[edit]
After receiving her M.S. and Ph.D. at Columbia University in 1919 and 1921, respectively, Caldwell was hired as an instructor in 1922.[7] She eventually became the first female professor of Chemistry in 1948, and the only female senior faculty member of the Chemistry department at Columbia University at the time. [8][9]
In 1960, Caldwell was awarded the Garvin Medal by the American Chemistry Society, for her research in amylase. The Garvin Medal specifically recognizes women who have a huge contribution to the field of Chemistry. Caldwell developed a method to isolate crystalline pancreatic enzymes, that is now used by laboratories all throughout America and Europe. [8]

Could Hosni Mubarak End Up in L.A? He Reportedly Owns Property in Beverly Hills
Hosni of Beverly Hills?
Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak finally stepped down Friday after weeks of unrest on the streets of Cairo and Alexandria. The question for us is, could he come to L.A?
Mubarak is widely reported to own property on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills -- and somewhere on that East Coast island known as Manhattan. While known for its luxurious Walk of Style (Armani, Versace, Tom Ford ... ), Rodeo is also a residential street south of Wilshire Boulevard and north of Santa Monica Boulevard.
Not a bad way to spend your days in self-imposed exile after 30 years of near-totalitarian rule. But ...
... and this but(t) is bigger than Kim Kardashian's:
People of the Jewish faith and the Egyptian government haven't always been the best of friends. (Although Mubarak added some stability to the relationship that Israel might end up missing pretty soon).

And Beverly Hills, well, despite all those Housewives (most if not all of whom don't actually live in the town), it's a Jewish city. Nearly one of every four people in B.H. is of Iranian descent, and a vast majority of those are Jewish.
Most of the gilded city's Persian Americans have family roots in the Iranian Revolution, when they fled the Islamic takeover of the government there.
In fact, today is the anniversary of that revolution, and more than a few people have made comparisons between the overthrow of the U.S-friendly Shah in '79 and Mubarak's downfall.
"Some analysts say history is repeating itself - the start of an Islamic revolution in Egypt, just like Iran in 1979."
Still, that doesn't mean Mubarak would be welcome with open arms in a city that is so far from Egypt, economically and ideologically.
Mubarak would probably need the okay of the U.S. State Department to come to California. And even then we wouldn't expect citizens of the 90210 (and 90212 and 90213, et. al.) to roll out the welcome wagon.

The Ballad Of Nora- Lorna And ZyahMature
I pulled into the driveway of Nora Webbers' parents' house and mentally prepared myself for giving them the gruesome news about their daughters' death.
I looked around at the huge Webber home, and whistled at the sheer size it. With a huge U-shaped driveway that was surrounded by trees, and other various plant life. The house itself is L-shaped, with a huge veranda over the entryway and there are windows everywhere, along the front of the house and what looks to be extended right through to the back.
I unbuckled my seatbelt and slowly emerged from the car, and started toward the door that seemed so far away. I squared my shoulders and held my head high and tried to convince myself that I've done worse things than this, but the thought failed to calm my shot nerves, because nothing is worse than telling a parent that their child has been shot and killed, then horrifyingly been defiled soon after death, and what could possibly be worse, is that the police have no idea who did it and why. And that made me want to put my fist through a wall or to do something that would help me figure out who this sick bastard is.
I shook the thought away as I suddenly found myself standing on the porch, in front of the supposed unreachable door. I rang the doorbell and respectively took a step back.
A woman that can only be described as the spitting image of Nora Webber answered the door. She stood at about five-two, with long blond hair, astute blue eyes and a slight slender frame. Her eyes flickered over my badge and gun that rested on my hip and the pained expression on my face. A sob hitched passed her throat, and she doubled over and screamed with such an anguished sound that it felt as if had crawled inside and drop-kicked in the heart. I ducked my head in sorrow as she screamed and cried for her child.
"What the hell is going on?" A deep baritone rumbled from behind the mother of Nora Webber. He grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her against him. The father of Nora Webber is a solidly built male, thick with muscle and hardened by age, jet-black hair with silver streaks at the temples, a square jaw covered in black stubble and accusatory dark brown eyes.
"I'm sorry Mr and Mrs Webber." I said quietly.
"How? I want all of the details." The father growled out menacingly.
I inclined my head in acknowledgment.
"It's against the rules for me to tell you everything, but screw the rules. But I feel inclined to tell you that you will not like what I have to say, Mr Webber." I warned.
"Just tell me what the hell happened to my daughter." He hissed out.
He turned to his wife and gently wiped the tears from her cheeks. "Gwen why don't you go make some coffee?" He asked her softly. She nodded stiffly and disappeared inside.
He motioned me inside and led down a long corridor with dark wooden doors and family pictures littering the walls. He stopped in front the end at the very end the hall.
He ushered me inside and stalked behind a huge mahogany desk, which had an apple computer, a wireless printer and other framed photos. The office had deep masculine colours, dark wooden walls with black drapes and black/dark grey carpet. A black leather love seat the right corner, and file cabinets lined up against the left wall extending behind the desk and stopping before a next to a painting that looked to be a sketched portrait of Mrs Webber.
He pointed to the seat in front of the desk and sank into the leather office chair behind the desk. Suddenly I had the image of many terrified men sitting before Mr Webber, quaking in their boots and barely refraining from sinking to their knees and begging for forgiveness. I clenched my hands into the sides of the seat to keep myself from doing just that.
"Please just tell me what happened. She was my baby girl. I need to know what happened to her." Mr Webber pleaded.
I nodded and forced myself to relax into the chair and fought the emotions that continued to swirl inside of me. I ignored the increasing feeling of rage and focused instead on the man opposite me and tried to look for the newfound signs of the grief that he is undoubtedly feeling at the moment.
"I'm sorry sir, but I haven't had the opportunity to introduce myself." I extended my hand and leant out of the chair.
"I'm Lieutenant Zyah Malone. I'm in charge of you daughters investigation. If I may have your first name Mr Webber?" I asked smoothly.
He took my offered hand and gave it a slight squeeze.
"I'm sorry Lieutenant. My name is Jaspyn; Jaspyn Webber. My wife is Gwen Webber, my son, Asher Webber and my oldest daughter Lorna Webber." He pointed to the photos on his desk
I saw a picture of Nora holding a baby girl in her arms; I smiled and picked it up.
"Is she your eldest daughter's child?" I asked pass my smile.
Tears filled Jaspyn's eyes; he cleared his throat and looked down at his tightly clasped hands.
"No. She's Nora's child. Only two months old. Her name is Shiloh." He murmured thickly.
I carefully put the picture down and slowly sank back down into my chair Anger and determination rose inside me again, making me want to grab my gun and shoot the next person i don't like the look of. I wanted to get justice for Nora Webber, and right now I will interrogate all the criminals that reside inside and out of the city. I refuse to sit back and wait for evidence to spring up from the middle of nowhere. I want the killer now, and beat the bastard to a bloody pulp, lock him in the smallest cell that I can find and throw away the key.
I quickly snapped away from my thoughts.
And with a deep breath I looked Jaspyn in the eye and told him everything about the death of his daughter. How long she was dead for when I got to her, that her killer is still on the loose and what happened after her death.
I shut up and watched the rising tide of his rage and the murderous storm that suddenly and terrifyingly brewed inside his dark brown/almost black eyes. His eyes grew darker and darker with every gruesome detail about Nora's death.
I jumped at the sudden sound of cups breaking and female scream ripped through the room.
I jumped out of my chair and spun around. I saw that Gwen had slipped into the room unnoticed and heard everything about Nora's death.
I looked down at the broken cups lying next to her and the hot coffee that had started to seep into her clothes.
Jaspyn sprang to his feet and hurried over to her and picked her up from the coffee soaked carpet.
"Asher!" He bellowed.
A young man around twenty scuttled into the room and started plucking the broken pieces of the glass off of the floor and placed them into the dustpan he carried in.
Asher has the same build as Jaspyn Webber, same square jaw and black hair but instead of the dark brown eyes, his are an electric blue that look as if they can see right into your soul and see all of the secrets that you have buried there.
Jaspyn shot me an apologetic glance and walked out of the office with the still sobbing Gwen cradled in the circle of his arms. I looked over at Asher and saw that he had ducked his head and was angrily swiping away tears. I strode over to him and silently helped him pick up the glass and dab at the coffee soaked carpet.
"I hope that when you catch the bastard that killed my sister rots in hell." Asher snapped out.
I smiled a bitter smile and got to my feet.
"I can honestly say that hell would too tame for the likes of him." I told him bitterly.
"Shouldn't a cop be a more neutral side of the party? The whole innocent until proven guilty thing?" Came a soft voice from the doorway of the office.
I swivelled around and saw the older and more slender daughter of Jaspyn and Gwen Webber.
With a head full of long golden blonde hair that curled into wild ringlets that stopped halfway down her back. Her molten brown eyes regarded me in wry amusement, framed with thick blonde eyelashes. Her sharp feminine cheekbones had a pink flush and her pink and plump lips formed what to be a natural pout and mad any sane man want to kiss them and see them kiss swollen. The pearl white blouse that she wore complemented the generous swell of her breasts, and the black slacks hugged the hour glass curves of her hips and shaped the long length of her mile long legs.
I took a step away from Asher so that I stood in the middle of the room, I watched Lorna Webber saunter into the office and cross behind the desk and sink into the office chair and regard with a neutral expression. I returned to the opposite chair and slowly sank into it.
"Not all officers are neutral. And its Lieutenant Zyah Malone, Ms Webber" I said smoothly.
She grinned and leant back into the chair and laced her fingers over her flat stomach.
"So tell me,Lieutenant, why you didn't send a rookie out to tell us about Nora?" She asked curiously.
I laughed softly and tipped my head sideways.
"I came here myself because it's my job to and because I want to catch the killer and made sure that you all know that." I said soberly.
She nodded and leant forward to fiddle with the photo of Nora and her baby Shiloh.
"She has to grow up without a mother. She'll never know Nora what she was like, how her smile affected everyone in the room and that she always loved to have vanilla ice cream in the morning with her cereal." Lorna whispered sullenly.
I stood up again and offered her my hand.
"I really should be going. Have to get back to the station and fill out paper work. It was nice to meet you and I'm terribly sorry for your loss." I said as she shook my hand, with soft velvety fingers.
I dug into my pocket and pulled out a crumpled business card and pressed it into her hand.
"If there is anything that you or your family needs; please don't hesitate to contact me." I didn't wait for her to reply. I nodded to Asher on the way out of the office and quickly hurried to my car. I started the ignition and looked back at the office window and saw Lorna peering out through the thick curtains. I gave a half-hearted wave, and drove out of the drive-way.
Images of Shiloh and Nora poured through my brain. There are questions that still needed to be answered by the Webber family, but I couldn't sit there with the gorgeous and mysterious Lorna Webber and manage to think straight, and running away now only delays the inevitable. Sooner or later I'm going to have to interview her and at the moment? It sounds more appealing than catching Nora's killer. And that thought alone is enough to make me want to run away with my tail tucked between my legs, because I have no business being around Lorna, but it changes nothing because I know that I'm fighting a losing battle and the prize of said battle? Nora's killer is behind bars.
I let a grim smile play along the corners of my mouth.
* * *
I scanned the pitch black room, straining my eyes to decipher objects or to identify a source of light, or maybe an outline of a door or a window to climb through, but I couldn't see a thing.
I pulled my knees up to my chest and lay my cheek on them. I sobbed in loud gasping sobs that echoed through the dark room that bounced back at me, increasing the soul deep anguish that had formed inside me. My heart pounded a tattoo against my rib cage, giving way to the hopeless numbered beats.
I jumped in fright when I loud bang sounded outside of the room I currently resided in. I scuttled to my left and hunkered down, trying desperately to keep away from the taunting noise.
The lights suddenly blinked on, flooding the room in a blinding yellow glow, obscuring my vision. I hastily blinked the foggy tears out of my tears, so I can see who is in the room with me.
Footsteps shuffled in, stopping only mere feet away, and I swore I could feel the body emanating off of the person standing in front of me. I furiously rubbed my eyes, but every time I tried to clear them more tears would pool, blurring my eyesight even more.
I tried and failed.
My sobs became more uncontrolled and louder. I struggled to breathe through every tear, and wipe away the cold hard trickling fear that consumed me, eating me alive.
My breath hitched in my throat at the sound of a loud click, my heart felt like it froze a beat a million rapid beats at the same time, gooseflesh sprouted along the exposed sections of my skin and iced sweat slithered down the base of my spine.
Another loud bang sounded.
And I was free from the darkness and fear, and swam in the perfect white light that carried me up into the cloud kissed sky.
* * *
I stared down at the girl, who just mere seconds ago was looking up at me with teary eyes and desperate pleading. I knew that she couldn't see who I am because of the crazed and frantic way that she had blindly groped around and rubbed her tear streaked face and eyes.
I smiled at the one single bullet wound perfectly in the middle of her forehead, that the one tiny wound could make such a mess. Cooling blood dribbled down here horror frozen face, staining her features, adding to the foulness of her features.
I reached into my pocket and removed my note pad, I crossed her name of the list and caressed the picture of the girl that is about to be mine.
Only a few more days to go…

So, Statues do move.Mature
He just stood there, like a stone statue, never moving.
Finally, after what seemed forever he spat out, "I'm glad to see you were excited that I was coming."
He was hurt, I should have expected that.
I didn't know what to say, I didn't know IF i should say anything at all.
Sighing, Peter said, "You were in a coma. For two weeks. After a while your parents got anxious. No one was sure if you were going to wake up or not."
Seconds passed and my mom entered the room with a big smile on her face. "Here you go." she was saying as she handed me a tray of foods to salve my hunger. Then she turned to me and dropped her smile as her voice whispered into my ear, "I thought I lost my baby." I felt her tear crawl down my neck and melt into my skin. Then, she walked out without another word.
After, I decided maybe not speaking was a better option.
As I stuffed my face Peter returned to being Peter.
"It turns out I'm going to live here. I've been going to your school and your parents even set up a blow up bed in your room. They said they'll get me a bed later but honestly they need to focus on you. I'm excited; I'll finally get out of the cold Nevada weather and into slightly better California."
Faking a laugh, I kept replaying the conversation me and Peter had in my dream. "I'll always be your best friend, no matter what."
It was confusing, why would I have dreams of him saying that. Maybe I just felt bad from when we were younger.
I got interrupted by my thought by the sudden silence in the room. Peter was staring at me.
I gave him apologetic eyes and gestured for him to go on.
"While you were sleeping. I...I said that." He gave me a wide eyed look.
CRAP. Not bothering to hide my expression, I cursed myself for being so absent-minded.
Trying to save myself, I cleared my throat, "I had a dream you said that."
A smile grew on his face instantly, "OH, so now you're dreaming about me."
I couldn't help but laugh at that. But my mind was still on what just happened.
That's normal right? To have dreams about conversations you heard while you were in a coma.
I still couldn't remember saying the last part aloud though.

Poem by: Juli Monat
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
Blue roses, and some red trees,
Those events from past to present
That, I can't hide and left
To be undiscovered,
For them to hear this isolated
Try running...Oh!
Branches and leaves
Drops, high and low...Immerse!
On my thoughts,
Shall I become one to send
Such a force, face to face
Its steps toward unknown
Where everything glow and turn
You around,
Like reel to reel...Outwit!
Your score, outworn-true-spirit,
Ouster, from hearth
Forrest, rivers, evergreen grass,
Disclaim my writing,
Disclose my deliverance,
Blue roses...Pondering!

Some words, I had no idea what they meant, which made the poem a bit confusing for me... a word of advice? Maybe try not to use so many complicated words so people will be able to read the poem and think 'I can understand what that means'. Also, I didn't really understand what the poem meant or what it was talking about... could just be me... but I did like it :)
This my friend is abstract...like abstrct painting
The first rule is, there's no rule at all
Its been said that not even famous poets knows
what their poems is all about.
P.S. I did like your observation and meticulous
reading this poem. Thanks!

Beškoski and M. Vrvić on the article entitled "Investigation of the microbial diversity of an extremely acidic, metal-rich water body (Lake Robule, Bor, Serbia)" by Srđan Stanković, Ivana Morić, Aleksandar Pavić, Branka Vasiljević, D. Barrie Johnson and Vladica Cvetković, published in the Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, Volume 79, Issue 6, Pages: 729–741. We welcome the Commentary and thank the authors for showing interest in our research. In this reply, we only address the most important remarks of the Commentary, and provide additional arguments for the conclusions originally presented in the paper. We, therefore, put the strongest emphasis on the comments related to the major scientific results of our paper, leaving aside all technical remarks of the Commentary as well as those comments focused on improving the editorial handling of the Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society. The aim of our work was to study the microbial diversity of Lake Robule using the molecular fingerprinting method (Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism – T-RFLP) and cultivation of bacteria on selective solid media. In the last twenty years or so, new molecular methods were introduced into microbiology, allowing more comprehensive detection of bacterial diversity in environmental samples in comparison to traditional cultivation-based approaches.1 It is estimated that traditional cultivation based methods can isolate only 0.1 to 1 % of total bacterial species present in the analyzed samples.2 * Corresponding author.

All rights reserved. 1576 STANKOVIĆ, VASILJEVIĆ and CVETKOVIĆ At the time of sampling (July 2012), the most abundant bacteria in the analyzed samples of the water collected at several locations from Lake Robule were Acidiphilium cryptum and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans, with a relatively smaller number of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. We clearly showed that the diversity and relative abundance of bacteria grown on selective solid media reflects the relative abundance and diversity of bacteria determined by T-RFLP analysis. Of course, both methods have their drawbacks and for this reason, we combined these two approaches. The authors of the Commentary ignore strong evidence presented in the paper and suggest that microscopic examination of the samples would be enough to prove that our findings were wrong. We performed microscopic examination of the samples and saw numerous small spirilli and larger bacilli. It is all documented in microscopic images that can be presented on the Editor's request. The authors of the Commentary based their conclusion that "some methodological and/or conceptual errors may have been made in this paper" on the fact that At. ferrooxidans was not detected in the T-RFLP profile, but it was detected on the selective solid media. In order to remove confusion and to solve this dispute, we need to explain in more detail some basic concepts of the T-RFLP analysis. The T-RFLP analysis of the bacterial community structure is a technique based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplification of the bacterial 16S rRNA genes, enzymatic digestions of the amplified genes, and detection of the size of each of the individual resulting terminal restriction fragments.3 PCR reaction in T-RFLP analysis requires the use of a primer labeled with a fluorescent dye at its 5′ end. The primers used for 16S rRNA gene amplification (fluorescently labeled 27F and unlabeled 1387R) are designed to bind to a highly conserved region in bacterial DNA. These primers are regularly used to amplify successfully 16S rRNA genes of all known species of acidophilic bacteria, and many other bacterial species. After PCR amplification, the amplified fragments were digested by endonucleases, producing restriction fragments of different lengths. Capillary electrophoresis instrument (DNA sequencer) detects restriction fragments labeled with a fluorescent dye; the so-called terminal restriction fragments (T-RFs), and determines their length. The most abundant T-RFs produce the most intensive fluorescent signals, identified as peaks in the electropherogram, while T-RFs with low abundance produce low intensity peaks, which are undetectable, or masked, by more intensive signals. It is not uncommon to isolate bacterial species on solid media, but not to detect it by T-RFLP analysis since, at least theoretically, a single bacterial cell is enough to produce a colony on selective solid media. On the other hand, T-RFLP analysis can reveal the presence of bacteria that were unable to grow on selective solid media. The best approach to estimate microbial diversity of environmental samples is to use both molecular- Available on line at www.shd.org.rs/JSCS/ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (CC) 2014 SCS. All rights reserved. 1577 REPLY ON THE COMMENTARY and cultivation-based methods.4–7 The T-RFLP analysis was performed in the laboratory of Bangor Acidophile Research Team (BART), Bangor University, UK under supervision of Professor D. Barrie Johnson, one of the most influential authors in this area of microbiology. Professor Johnson kindly provided BART's comprehensive database of the T-RFs of acidophilic bacteria, since this information is not available in public T-RF databases. Chunbo et al. (2010) reported A. cryptum as the dominant bacteria in an extremely acidic open pit lake in China. The physicochemical properties of the lake at the time of sampling were very similar to those of Lake Robule.8 The physical and chemical conditions in both lakes at the time of sampling were nearly optimal for the growth of A. cryptum.10 This fact could be one of the reasons for the dominance of this bacterial species in the analyzed water samples. Again, it must be stressed that our results reflect only the structure of the bacterial community at the moment of sampling. Summer of 2012 was one of the hottest and driest summers ever recorded in Serbia, and it certainly affected the structure of the bacterial community of the Lake. The physical and chemical properties of Lake Robule express significant seasonal variations.11 In the conclusion of the paper, we suggested tracking seasonal changes in physicochemical properties and microbial diversity of the Lake in order to provide a more detailed insight into the dynamics of the bacterial population of the Lake. In conclusion, we truly hope that this reply clarifies the major scientific results of our paper on the microbial diversity in Lake Robule. Acknowledgements.

Leave me alone,
Just let me live my life in peace,
Without the torture of your words,
knives, tearing through my skin.
I wish I could just let you go,
But things are easier said… than done…
I'm stuck to you, like glue,
Holding the pieces together.
If only I could let you go,
Then I would be free,
Free to live my life as my own
Without the fear of the pain you cause.
So I ask you to leave, on your own,
Understand that you have stripped me of all power,
Weakened me to such a state that I cannot push you away.
Please let me regain my control.
